[indistinct shouting] - whenever i come to florida, i feel like i'm at home. sometimes, i see more people from new york in florida than i do in new york. - i was still sort of around for the ride in the last couple of days. it was so frustrating to watch them burn through so much money. rudy's people, they were burning money like mad men. so much good will. so many people who wanted him to succeed. - here is the big story tonight. john mccain, the big winner in the state of florida. he captures the republican presidential nomination. - this, of course, a very difficult night for rudy giuliani. he had been hoping that he would be the victor here in florida. spent more than $30 million here. - it wasn't just a hard fought but lost campaign. it was an embarrassment. - he thought he was gonna be president. a lot of people thought he was gonna be president. and he screwed it up. - i think that was a huge disappointment to him. having been so much a figure of attention, a fascination of media coverage, i don't think he could bear the thought of losing that. that that somehow was part of his identity. - for a politician, you want to be relevant. you want people to care what you think. you want to be able to change people's lives. you want to be able to lead and have millions of americans follow you. so to not be relevant anymore, that is heartbreaking. - i'm proud that we chose to stay positive and to run a campaign of ideas. in an era of personal attacks, negative ads, and cynical spin, we ran a campaign that was uplifting. - giuliani was the frontrunner for the republican nomination, and then people started voting. - he invested his heart and soul in this primary, and who conducted himself with all the qualities of the exceptional american leader he truly is. - did rudy giuliani die? - barack obama will become the 44th president of the united states. - he'd come to the end of a political career, and when you're not gonna be elected to anything anymore, what do you do? - he was in yet another wilderness where he wasn't quite sure whether he was a politician anymore or whether he was a full-time businessman. - i think giuliani, in washington terms, was nowhere. - he misses the action and he wants to be a player. - the vice president wasn't very nice yesterday. - he became more unfettered and unencumbered. - giuliani touched off a firestorm when he said earlier this week, "i know this is a horrible thing to say, but i do not believe that the president loves america." - that is deplorable. that is wrong. you can almost say it is unpatriotic. - far from backing down, he's actually tripling down with new remarks. - giuliani defended the remark saying, "it has nothing to do with race." - and what rudy giuliani is doing is citing the president as other. it is a dog whistle to certain people in the party, and to certain types of people, whether he wants to claim that racism or not. - people create in groups and out groups instinctively. it takes nothing to create that. rudy realized that. it's a dialectic, this kind of politics. it's not a cohesive strategy. it's a cohesive attitude. - i think his combative nature became more so. i think, in some ways, he just became an even more intense version of who he was. - before obama came along, we didn't have any successful radical islamic terrorist attack in the united states. - i didn't have a lot of contact with him during those years, but i suspect he was pretty unfulfilled. the value of the national security card for rudy had diminished rather dramatically by that point. you ended up with this republican constituency that should have been much more rudy-centric. but american voters evolved on a couple of big things. that guy who works in brown county, wisconsin, and has been there for 25 years in a factory making auto parts, his son has had three goddamn tours in iraq and gotten shot once, that guy's job has been off-shored, and he's been able to find a job working in a call center for nine bucks an hour with no health insurance, and he's pissed. - i mean, i'm mad. i've been mad. i'm one of the angry, you know, voters that they've been discussing for the last year. [indistinct chatter] - i am officially running... for president of the united states, and we are going to make our country great again. [cheers and applause] - well, donald trump is moving like a storm front through the republican primaries and caucuses. heading towards super tuesday next week, trump has more delegates than his rivals combined. - donald trump's march to the nomination would be hard to bet against now. crowd: usa! usa! - as trump started to rack up wins, i think giuliani saw value in his being a voice of support for trump. - trump is clearly the best choice. he's the best choice for new york. he's the best choice for the country. and he's the one who can beat hillary clinton. will you pause it real quick? (mumbles) just sold the car to carvana. what? all i had to do was answer a couple questions and got a real offer in seconds. then, they just picked up the car and paid me right on the spot. sell your car at carvana dot com today. and there he is. chaz. the rec league's self-crowned pickleball king. do you just bow down? no you de-thrown the king. pedialyte. 3x the electrolytes. this is how tosin lost 33 pounds on noom weight. i'm tosin. noom gave her a psychological approach to weight loss. noom has taught me how you think about food has such a... huge impact on your relationship with it. visit noom.com and start your trial today. businesses need 5g solutions today. that's why they choose t-mobile for business. mlb partners with t-mobile to not only enhance the fan experience, but to advance how the game is played. aaa relies on t-mobile's network to stay connected nationwide, so they can help get their members back on the road. and we're helping pano ai innovate, to stop the spread of wildfires. now's the time to see what america's largest 5g network can do for your business. - trump became this black hole in which all political attention in the country was reposed. and the celebrity lizard brain of rudy kicked off, and he needed it. he thought, "this will put me back in the spotlight." [cheers and applause] - thank you. thank you, new york... crowd: yeah! for a new yorker, for once, on the ticket: donald trump. - remember, this is one of the great ironies of rudy. he knew trump was a third-tier, fourth-tier, real estate bull[bleep] artist. he knew it. he was in new york. rudy used to deal with the actual power in new york money and real estate. he knew what trump was. [cheers and applause] - i think, you see his speeches, he was more ratcheted up than anyone else could be. - i am telling you this because i am sick and tired of the defamation of donald trump by the media and by the clinton campaign! i am sick and tired of it! this is a good man! - he was the most angry speaker of all of them. - and america should be sick and tired of their vicious, nasty campaign! [cheers and applause] - what they don't tell you about fame is, it doesn't happen, usually, that you become famous and successful, and then you die. usually, what happens is, you become famous and successful, and then you become less famous and successful, and then you die. - it's time to make america safe again. it's time to make america one again. one america. what happened to "there is no black america, there is no white america, there is just america"? what happened to it? where did it go? how has it flown away? [cheers and applause] - giuliani sees one thing: opportunity. opportunity for his personal development, growth, achievement, rise yet again to political power. giuliani knew he had an opportunity to be back in the influence business. [dramatic music] - at the height of the '16 election, i said, "look, the election's going to be over, and i wish you would consider your legacy, because you have an important story to tell." - calmly and safely evacuate lower manhattan. if you are south of canal street, walk north and get out of southern manhattan. - one of the things that rudy, on 9/11, helped us realize as a society is that you don't have to be perfect to be a hero. ♪ ♪ but if you stand up and you do the right thing when it's difficult, that's all that matters, at the end of the day. i mean, so much of what we do should be motivated by caring about our legacy. and he just said to me-- he said, "i don't care about my legacy." - rudy has that fatalism about him. he thinks that it doesn't matter, and that whether it's one year from now where he's remembered, but 10,000 years from now he won't be, what difference does it make in the scheme of the universe? "i had my day in the sun and i had my place in the arena." - what i did for new york, donald trump will do for america! [cheers and applause] [dramatic music] - ladies and gentlemen, america's mayor, rudy giuliani. - today, i am officially announcing my withdrawal as a candidate for president of the united states. - very difficult night for rudy giuliani.
