>> FASCINATING NEWS COMING OUT OF POLITICO ABOUT DONALD'S TIES
TO THE MOB WHEN HE WAS FIRST STARTING OUT IN NEW YORK, HE IS
ASSOCIATED WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS, FAT TONY SALERNO, I
CAN'T TELL FROM THAT PICTURE OR HIS NICKNAME IF HE IS IN THE
MOB.
IT WAS MADE CLEAR WHEN HE WAS CONVICTED DUMPING ALSO, PAUL
CASTELLANO, HE LOOKS LIKE ROBERT DE NIRO FROM "CASINO."
COME ON,
WHAT DOES THE TRUMP HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?
DO YOU HAVE PROOF?
AS
YOU WILL SEE LATER IN THE STORY, THERE ARE INDICTMENTS AND
CONVICTIONS.
LET'S START AT THE BEGINNING, THIS IS SOMEONE WHO
HAS BEEN COVERING TRUMP FOR A LONG TIME, HE QUOTES A LOT OF
WAYNE BARRETT'S WORK, THAT IS THE LEGENDARY JOURNALIST IN NEW
YORK WHO HAS BEEN COVERING THESE FIGURES FOR DECADES THAT BANK
POLITICO EXPLAINS --
>> GREAT, HE IS ALSO CONNECTED TO JOE MCCARTHY.
HE DIDN'T DO
THE MCCARTHY STAFF, HE JUST HIRED ROY COHN TO FIX THINGS FOR
HIM IN NEW YORK.
LET'S FIND OUT WHAT THAT ENTAILS --
>>
WHAT DO THEY DO WITH THESE GUYS?
ONE OF THE THINGS, IT IS A
LITTLE ARCANE, THEY USED A READY MIX CONCRETE TO BOOBIES BUILDING
START BACK WHAT DOES THAT TELL US?
IT TURNS OUT, THAT IS MORE
RISKY -- SURPRISE, SURPRISE -- BUT IT SETTLES MORE QUICKLY SO
YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY LITTLE PROBLEMS.
BUT DON'T
WORRY, THAT IS WHERE THE FAMILIES COME IN, TO FIX THINGS,
SO YOU CAN HAVE ANY LABOR PROBLEMS.
SO WHAT DID THAT MEAN
FOR TRUMP?
>> LET'S GET INTO THAT A LITTLE MORE --
>> IT'S LIKE A SCENE OUT OF THE SOPRANOS.
WE WANT OUR NO-SHOW
JOBS.
THIS IS THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR WHO BUILT TRUMP
TOWER.
THAT HELD A KNIFE TO THE THROAT OF HIS RECEPTIONIST.
THIS
IS INSANE.
OR THE SWITCHBOARD OPERATOR.
BEAZER ALLEGATIONS,
THESE ARE QUOTES FROM PEOPLE WHO WERE INVOLVED, BUT WAS THERE ANY
ADJUDICATION OF THIS?
WELL, YES --
>> NOW, IN ORDER TO DO THE RACKETEERING YOU HAVE TO HAVE A
PARTNER TO DO IT WITH.
TRUMP, AS ALWAYS, TEFLON DON, EVERYTHING
SLIDES OFF OF HIM.
THOSE GUYS?
GOLLY GEE, TO DO THE
RACKETEERING AND GET CONVICTED FOR IT?
I GUESS IT IS A TOUGH
FOR THEM.
TO GIVE YOU A SENSE ABOUT THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT
CONCRETE MIXING, THE WERE IMPLICATED IN EVERYTHING
INCLUDING GANGLAND SLAYINGS, MURDER, IN FACT, MICHAEL
CHERTOFF, WHO WOULD LATER BECOME HEAD OF
THE
DEPARTMENT OF
HOMELAND SECURITY, SAID --
>> COULD YOU IMAGINE IF A
DEMOCRAT WAS IMPLICATED IN
WORKING WITH THE MOB, AND THEY GET CONVICTED ON THE DEALINGS
THEY HAD WITH THAT DEMOCRAT, AND IT IS THE MOST VICIOUS CRIMINAL
ENTERPRISE, AND LET'S SO IT WAS NOT OLD-SCHOOL ITALIAN MOB, BUT
MEXICAN DRUG GANGS?
NOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
AND THE MEDIA WOULD DO TO THAT DEMOCRAT?
BUT HE IS TEFLON DON,
IT'S SLIDES RIGHT OFF.
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL, WHAT WOULD
REPUBLICANS DUE TO A DEMOCRAT WHO IS PROVEN TO WORK WITH
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS?
OUTRAGEOUS.
THAT IS PART OF THE STORY.
THEY
EXPLAINED THE POLISH BRIGADE, THIS IS WHEN TRUMP IS FIRST
RISING UP, WHEN HE IS BUILDING HIS TOWER IN TRUMP PLAZA --
>>GEEZUM LORD MERCY, HERE IS THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE, I WILL BE
WELL TO KEEP ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS OUT, MEANWHILE, ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS, COME HERE AND I WILL HAVE MY FIXTURES WORKED ON IT,
UNBELIEVABLE.
AND MEANWHILE, REPUBLICANS TALKED ABOUT THIS
BRIEFLY, REPUBLICAN VOTERS ARE MET, THEY ARE POLISH ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS?
TOTALLY FINE.
IS NOT MEXICAN DRUG GANGS, IT IS
ITALIANS?
THAT IS OKAY.
THAT IS JUST FUN BETWEEN FRIENDS.
NOW WE
GO TO JOHN CODY, A TEAMSTER OFFICIAL CONVICTED OF
RACKETEERING, HERE IS A STORY ABOUT HIM --
>> COME ON, IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS, THAT SHOULD SETTLE IT.
THE MOB HAS ALREADY GOT CONVICTED, THAT SHOULD SETTLE IT
FOR YOU AND IN THE CONVICTION THEY SAY THEY ARE WORKING FOR
TRUMP.
BUT THEY DO A CITYWIDE STRIKE, THE TEAMSTERS, WHO AT
THE TIME OUR CORRUPT, AND THE ONE GUY THEY DON'T STRIKE IS THE
GUY USING THE MOB CONCRETE.
WHAT A WONDERFUL COINCIDENCE.
THEN
YOU GO TO DANIEL SULLIVAN, HE WAS ANOTHER MEMBER "FIXER"
TURNED FBI INFORMANT, HERE IS WHAT HE SAID WHEN INFORMED
ABOUT THE POLISH BRIGADE --
>>
IF YOU ARE WONDERING, DID THAT GET ADJUDICATED?
THE
CONSTRUCTION AND THE MOB CAUSE, THAT GOT ADJUDICATED, HOW ABOUT
THE POLISH PROGRADE?
WELL --
>>AGAIN, THIS IS TRUMP DIRECTLY --
>>
OF COURSE.
KEEP IT UNDER WRAPS.
BUT WE KNOW THAT IT
HAPPENS.
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE, YOU HAVE A GUY WHO HAS
CONNECTIONS TO THE MOB WHO CLEARLY WORKED WITH ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS, AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS LIKE, YAY, WE HATE
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS UNLESS THEY ARE WORKING FOR THE REPUBLICAN
NOMINEE.
RULE OF LAW, AND ORDER, TOUGH ON CRIME.
OH, HE WORKED
WITH THE TOP MOBSTERS AND THE MOST VICIOUS FAMILY IN AMERICA?
THAT IS FINE, WE MEANT BLACK PEOPLE AND MEXICANS.
WE DIDN'T
MEAN ITALIAN MOBSTERS.
YOU CAN CELEBRATE TRUMP, BUT UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU ARE CELEBRATING BECAUSE ALL THIS STUFF IS PROVEN IN
COURT.
YOU ARE PROUD TO STAND BEHIND A GUY WHO BRAZENLY USED
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND BRAZENLY WORKED WITH THE MOB?
HAVE AT IT,
HOSS.
