Rudy Giuliani

“Blacks commit murder eight times more per capita than any other group in our society. If I had put all of my police officers on Park Avenue and none in Harlem, thousands and thousands more blacks would've been killed during the eight years that I was mayor.”

“We need to know who's in the United States. We need to know everyone who's in the United States that comes in here from a foreign country. And we have to separate the ones who are dangerous from the ones who aren't. To accomplish that, we need a fence. We need a technological fence. We need a border patrol.”

“I was Mayor of New York during a great Yankees dynasty. I got to preside over the city during four Yankees championships.”

“I think to adequately manage a crisis, you have to see it. Because there's only so much somebody else can tell you about it, and they impose their own distortions on the description. You need to see it yourself.”

“I get through difficult situations by looking at how other people have gone through them. I say to myself, 'If they can go through it, then I can.' Or, If they can go through worse, I can go through whatever I'm going through.”

“America needs to be defended. We need missile defense to better police the skies over the United States.”

“Our safety requires a long-term military presence in the Middle East because that's where the plans to attack us are emanating.”

“It's time to make America safe again. It's time to make America one again. I know it can be done because I did it by changing New York City from 'the crime capital of America' to - according to the FBI - the safest large city in America. What I did for New York City, Donald Trump will do for America.”

“You know Donald Trump will secure our borders.”

“We have too many politicians who are poll-driven to excess. Polls are important. You've got to know what the public is thinking, but you can't let them drive you completely.”

“I think the world is much better off without Saddam Hussein than with him.”

“We should be tolerant, fair, open, and we should understand the rights that all people have in our society.”

“As mayor, I used to always feel the important thing is that people respect me, not love me - but it is really much nicer when they love you, too. I'm going to try to keep it that way.”

“There is a reality to the primary process, and you don't win primaries by being ahead in national polls. You win them by winning Iowa, by winning New Hampshire, by winning South Carolina, winning Florida.”

“Now we understand much more clearly. why people from all over the world want to come to New York and to America. It's called freedom.”

“Courage is managing fear to accomplish what you want to accomplish. And it's a great demonstration of love. It's really what love is. It's finding areas in which other people are more important than you.”

“When I said the city would be stronger, I didn't know that. I just hoped it. There are parts of you that say, 'Maybe we're not going to get through this.' You don't listen to them.”

“The Republican Party is a much bigger tent than people give it credit for. We have a lot of what I guess you all call moderate Republicans.”

“So I think we're, we're, we're as broad a political party, if not broader than the Democratic Party, just in a different political spectrum.”

“Donald Trump is a leader. He will reassert America's position as the nation with the best values to lead the world.”
