to the safest city in the world, now representing president trump and is a top surrogate for the giuliani for governor campaign. - they re pathetic. - they are the same people they were in the 1980s. - america! - the strategies, the message, the divisiveness, the racism they never want it to change. they wanted to perfect it. they wanted to weaponize it. they succeeded in some ways, and yet, in shakespearean fashion, the success has been very short-lived. [dramatic string music] - faith and patriotism are pretty much one in the same. and rudy was very much cut from that cloth and made no bones about it.
everything you ve got at the world trade center now! - and he just flew right into the building. i still can t believe it. - there s a huge hole in it, and things are falling from the building itself. - then we saw the people jumping. [rescue radio chatter] - tower two has had a major explosion and what appears to be complete collapse surrounding the entire area. - mayday. where are you? - we re across the street from the towers. we have people stuck in the building. i don t know how much more. please, please! please, somebody! [somber music] - september 11th, i was home at my house, heard the news, everything on there. i went and called my son. my son, tim, he was working. he came over and came over with a police car. we went to the city. and as we got into manhattan, we came through the battery tunnel. - oh my god! oh my god!
i said he did a dress rehearsal at the police riot against dave dinkins. - rudy went down there, and i went with him. and the idea was to show support for the cops. he didn t know he was gonna attend a racist rally. [chatter, crowd commotion] - we were standing there looking out through the bars. jimmy breslin got roughed up. he was the columnist. una clark was a city councilman. some people in this mob tried to block her from walking to city hall and they said, who are you? and she said, i m a city council woman, and they said, this nigger says she s a city council woman. - do you believe that n is a council member? so i just told them, i said, i m a jamaican, and there are no ns where i come from. - they climbed the various steps of government and felt comfortable to call the mayor of the city a nigger. it s outrageous. if david duke had a police department, it would look and sound like this group of people. - there was a real sense of mob rule. but on the inside, there w
who wanted to be thanked, and ignored the people who were booing. - he s driven by a desire to be worshipped. - i d like to introduce the new police commissioner of new york city, bill bratton. - i came in with my eyes wide open on the police. i could do something about it because i believed that i had a formula to do something about it. - do you have any idea how many arrests we made on that other than the homicides? do we have any idea? - we said, we re gonna use statistical evidence. they had this system called compstat that divided the city into little units. wherever the crime was, we re gonna flood those units. he had a bunch of techniques that drove crime down. - disorder was being attended to because that was a big part of what bratton brought to the table, was broken windows policing, meaning stop people from aggressive panhandling, from literally breaking windows.
and police we can t assure safety. we can t do that. and that s how the yankee stadium speech came down. - on september 11th, new york city suffered the darkest day in our history. it s now up to us to make it its finest hour. today, we come together in the capital of the world as a united city. we re accompanied by religious leaders of every faith to offer a prayer for the families of those who have been lost, to offer a prayer for our city, and to offer a prayer for america. the proud twin towers that once crowned our famous skyline no longer stand, but our skyline will rise again. the proud twin towers that once crowned our famous skyline no longer stand, but our skyline will rise again.
