- the era of fear has had a long enough reign. the period of doubt has run its course. - i look at rudy giuliani as the greatest mayor in the history of our country, and i look at him as one of the greatest prosecutors in the history of our country. - i'm gonna have a co-addressee, i guess, andrew. [andrew giggling] - i do remember reading his speech and him reading his speech. they say new york is ungovernable. - new york is not governable. - they say that businesses are leaving. - all of these, i declare politically incorrect. - rudy giuliani. [cheers and applause] - i just find it funny that people sort of thought of him as america's mayor, 'cause that wasn't rudy giuliani. the giuliani of that '92 riot-- that's rudy giuliani. [heavy music] ♪ - the city hall's steps is new york city's front steps. it's the front porch. [crowd chanting]
