Rudy Giuliani

I ask you, in closing, to please consider once again the legislation to make this a National memorial.

I see a one-sided deal completely in favor of Iran.

If you believe that, there is a bridge right near here I am willing to sell you.

We are consigning it to the IAEA. The IAEA was fooled twice by Iran before, in 2003 and 2005.

You would have to be an idiot to think they need nuclear facilities in a country that is oil-rich and natural-gas-rich.

I do not think the attack at Fort Hood would have occurred if we had not been applying political correctness.

I think political correctness has cost us lives.

There is an organizing principle, much like the mafia was an organizing principle.

Why, in God's name, would you give them billions of dollars?

Everyone on this panel and everyone of any political party would agree that Iran is the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world, state sponsor of terrorism in the world.

I have not just grave reservations about the agreement; the agreement is, to me, frightening because we get so little in return, if anything, and we are creating an empire.

I would just like you to know how important I believe that is, that this be funded as a National museum.

The resiliency of New Yorkers has been, I think, a real model.

A defense to terrorism is resiliency.

September 11 brought us together much closer than a country has ever been for about 2 or 3 months--no Democrats, no Republicans, no liberals, no conservatives, just Americans working together.

Imagine if the headline the next day, in addition to the fact that this was the worst attack in our history, was: It also was characterized by firefighters and police officers who ran away.

But the reason it wasn't 12,000 or 6,000 is because the firefighters and the police officers stood their ground, even when they were given an evacuation order.

It is very important. You know, it is like in business. Most people in business will tell you what we need to know is what we are going to get or not get and then we can make plans.

We are not Democrats and Republicans, we are Americans.

This attack was beyond our capacity.

It is a matter of duty that we owe to these people.

The importance of extending the Zadroga Act. It expires this year; the funding will end next year.

A tremendous amount of preparation. Go through the incident before it happens so that when it happens you are not going through it for the first time.

The biggest thing that I am concerned about now is, how do you counter that violent extremism in the communities?

The reality is that we have to realize that we are putting the nuclear button in the hands of madmen.
