RUDY GIULIANI: So, remember when JD Vance pointed out that the Haitians were eating animals in Springfield —

STACEY WHITED (CO-HOST): Yep.

DAVID WHITED (CO-HOST): Yeah.

GIULIANI: — Springfield, Ohio? So that's based on reports to that effect. Now it may not be true. It may be exaggerated. It may be insane. It may be whatever. But here's what it accomplished. It brought attention to Springfield, which is overwhelmed with traffic accidents, including a 70-year-old woman who died at Christmas and a 4-year-old kid who died on a bus. Because the Haitians are allowed to drive and they don't know how to. They're given a letter that they don't have to have a driver's license. Now for the life of me, I can't figure out how [DHS Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas can figure out whether you can drive or not. And they're killing people, and the governor, who is hardly a supporter of Trump, and does everything he can to contradict, had to send the national guard there because the thing was like bumper cars. 

STACEY WHITED: Man.

GIULIANI: And finally, I know the Haitian community backwards and forwards. I spent time in Haiti negotiating when I worked for Ronald Reagan, a — something similar to stay in Mexico. And I know them because I wanted to be a Catholic priest and a missionary in Haiti. They practice Vodou. And when they practice Vodou, they kill domestic animals. I mean, half of them do. That's just it. And that's — and they're not taking people in and saying, “Oh, mister Haitian, are you one of those who kills animals or not?” —

STACEY WHITED: Right.

DAVID WHITED: Right.

GIULIANI: “Do you practice Vodou?” They have no idea. So, animals are getting hurt somewhere if you've got a lot of these people here. And look, I'm going to say this. It's not their fault. They lived back 200 years ago. They just shouldn't have been taken out of the jungle and placed in the middle of a small-town America. That's ridiculous. Or big-town America for that matter.
