STEPHANIE RUHLE (HOST): Before we go, I just want to ask you about one thing. Clearly, we've got an angry country for many reasons. People don't like where things are. Many people don't like Hillary Clinton, as you have said. But I want to talk about the hate that has been incited in this election. Just a few days ago when you said “I'd love to see Hillary Clinton in stripes” -- is it a good time to say flip things like that.
RUDY GIULIANI: Yeah.
RUHLE: When you've got so many people really on the edge?
GIULIANI: Yeah It sure is. Before an election where we're going to elect someone who, in my count, violated maybe 100 different federal laws. I mean, I have never seen anything like this. I've never -- reading that FBI report, she is prosecutable for so many offenses it's mind boggling.
RUHLE: I've also never seen the hate and the racism out of so many people who are saying we're going to --
GIULIANI: There's no racism. Donald Trump --
RUHLE: You don't think Breitbart News, Stephen Bannon, the architect --
GIULIANI: Breitbart news is not running for office. Trump --
RUHLE: But Steven Bannon is the architect of Donald Trump's campaign. What do you believe Breitbart represents?
GIULIANI: Nobody runs Donald Trump's campaign but Donald Trump.
RUHLE: Then what do you call the CEO of his campaign?
GIULIANI: And for all the stuff you're throwing around, racist? The last thing in the world Donald Trump is is a racist. I've known him for 28 years. The man likes white people, he likes black people, he likes Hispanic people, he plays golf with them. He opened up the first club in Palm Beach that allowed Jewish people, black people, Italian people like me who couldn't get into those clubs, to get into those clubs.
RUHLE: Can you say that Steven Bannon doesn't run Donald Trump's campaign? He's CEO of the campaign.
GIULIANI: Donald Trump runs Donald Trump's campaign.
RUHLE: So what's he doing even paying Steven Bannon?
GIULIANI: There are a lot of people who do different things. But to say Donald Trump is a racist is outrageous. And to call anybody a racist is outrageous.
RUHLE: Hold on, there are people you can call racist.
GIULIANI: You can't call him a racist.
[...]
RUHLE: Can you say that Breitbart News doesn't represent racist views and the CEO of Breitbart News is currently running Donald Trump's campaign?
GIULIANI: Donald Trump is running Donald Trump's campaign.
RUHLE: Then what is Steven Bannon doing?
GIULIANI: Breitbart News has its own point of view. Look, your station has its own point of view. Do you want me to tell you what that is? You don't really want to know.
RUHLE: Of course I want to know.
GIULIANI: Your station is completely left-wing and totally anti-Trump and totally anti-Republican with one or two exceptions.
