O'REILLY: "Personal Story" segment tonight. One of the big winners
apart from Donald Trump in the presidential sweepstakes, former
mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani. And there he is.

All right. So, it's you, it's Christie, it's Gingrich, it's General
Flynn, it's Kellyanne Conway. That's the five in the inner circle,
right?

RUDY GIULIANI, FORMER NEW YORK CITY MAYOR: Yes. I would say General
Kellogg certainly Steve Bannon, Jared Kushner --

O'REILLY: Yes. Yes. Yes.


GIULIANI: These are all people that are very different.

O'REILLY: Yes, but they are not experienced in governance.

GIULIANI: Very helpful in the campaign.

O'REILLY: Okay. But I'm looking now to advance the story. So, I see
Kellyanne Conway as chief-of-staff, all right? Okay. That's a yes?

GIULIANI: That would be a good choice.

O'REILLY: I see you as attorney general.

GIULIANI: Well, I sure know the Justice Department.

(LAUGHTER)

Okay. That's a yes. I see Gingrich as perhaps secretary of state.
But does he want to run around like that? Does Gingrich want to run
around like that?

GIULIANI: You've got Senator Sessions.

O'REILLY: Sessions, right.

GIULIANI: You've got John Bolton.

O'REILLY: Bolton, yes.

GIULIANI: You've got a couple and I'm probably missing a few.

O'REILLY: But Gingrich has got to be a role for him.

GIULIANI: Yes. I see Newt as kind of a domestic security advisor.

O'REILLY: Okay.

GIULIANI: And these are my suggestions to you. I haven't even talked
to Donald yet about it.

O'REILLY: So you guys didn't even talk about this theoretically? You
must do.

GIULIANI: We talked about it a little bit here and there.

O'REILLY: Right. Because you and Gingrich put your reps on the line.
I mean, you did. You took a lot of heat and so did Gingrich.

GIULIANI: You're kidding.

O'REILLY: Yes. You really, I hope Trump appreciates it.

GIULIANI: Even coming here today.

O'REILLY: Well, we got all these protesters if you were looking at
--

GIULIANI: Banging on my car.

O'REILLY: You've got the usual radical and this does not reflect the
Democratic Party. I want everybody to know this.

GIULIANI: Yes, it does.

O'REILLY: These aren't Democrats.

GIULIANI: And, you know, in a way --

O'REILLY: Right.

GIULIANI: I don't want to make too much -- I'm used to it for being
mayor of New York.

O'REILLY: Right. These are radical leftists. They're in Philly,
Chicago, L.A., New York. They don't have anything to do. They don't
work. You know what -- the crew is and that will die out. But let's
get back to a Trump administration. So I see you as --

GIULIANI: And Carson.

O'REILLY: Carson helps in Human Services. You as Attorney General.
Gingrich as domestic advisor. Christie now Homeland Security for
Christie?

GIULIANI: He would be fabulous at it.

O'REILLY: Yes. Not infrastructure building bridges or anything
though.

(LAUGHTER)

No. Don't want that.

GIULIANI: I always thought that was a somewhat exaggerated
situation. As a U.S. attorney, I think I would have handled that
very differently.

O'REILLY: There is a little gist there, I don't want anybody getting
upset. Now, Trump is going to need a lot of help. He is going to
need a lot of help.

GIULIANI: Every president does.

O'REILLY: Yes. But you know, and by the way, please tell him not to
put the Trump sign on top of the White House. We really don't need
that now.

(LAUGHTER)

GIULIANI: We don't need --

(CROSSTALK)

O'REILLY: Like Mar-A-Lago. But I'm saying this with all due respect,
he is going to need help because he has never been in this --

GIULIANI: He has told you that actually in several interviews.

O'REILLY: He has never been a guy who has overestimated experience.

GIULIANI: Right.

O'REILLY: He doesn't have it.

GIULIANI: I used to point out on the campaign trail, he didn't build
his own buildings and he didn't build his own golf courses. He got
the best architects, he got the best carpenters, the best plumbers.

O'REILLY: Let me tell you something though. He knows we set at
Yankee Stadium and he goes look at that crack in the -- so he knows
that world.

GIULIANI: Same thing with his staff during the campaign. When things
were going wrong. He would get them all together, you're not doing
this. You're not doing that.

O'REILLY: He knows pr, he knows entertainment. But what he doesn't
know is administration because it can get slogging and grinding and
he is not Bill Clinton and he doesn't stay up all night studying the
policy papers. So, he is going to need guys like you and Gingrich.
Is there anybody else in the mix that I haven't mentioned?

GIULIANI: I'm sure there are. Yes. I hate to leave -- there are a
lot.

O'REILLY: Right.

GIULIANI: I think Chris has probably assembled about 100 people.

O'REILLY: He is in charge. Governor Christie. He is in charge --

GIULIANI: Christie has probably assembled about 100 people that he
can consider. The way I my transition when I did it for mayor was, I
wanted three nominations for every position.

O'REILLY: I like that.

GIULIANI: So then ultimately I could pick the right men I want for
the job.

O'REILLY: Okay. When you put yourself out, as you did. And so did
Newt Gingrich and you were attacked, I mean, really brutally
attacked.

GIULIANI: Including death threats and all kinds of other things.

O'REILLY: Is there going to be pay back? You think, because Trump,
he is the pay back kind of guy.

GIULIANI: For me, having been mayor of New York and having gone
through that it's now let's move on and let's see if we can --

O'REILLY: No pay back to you.

GIULIANI: For me, there is nobody that I want to particularly pay
back.

O'REILLY: So you're not going to investigate Hillary Clinton if you
are attorney general?

GIULIANI: Oh, different story. You have got a big choice there. And
I don't know the right answer to it. There's one tradition in
America, right? Election is over. We forget about it. There is
another tradition in America which is equal justice under the law.
And it would depend on how bad the violations are. And there has not
been.

O'REILLY: So, you would have to take a fresh look.

GIULIANI: Well, the FBI is still investigating the Clinton
Foundation.

O'REILLY: Yes. And the foundation, right.

GIULIANI: So, whoever the Attorney General is we have to evaluate
that.

O'REILLY: But you know what's going to happen. Obama is going to
pardon her before --

GIULIANI: Then that will seal Obama's legacy as one of the worst
presidents.

O'REILLY: I don't think so. I disagree with you there. Because his
base, Obama's base would want him to do that. It's almost like the
Ford-Nixon situation. But I do believe that if this continues and
Obama will know, that he will pardon her before he gets out of
there.

GIULIANI: Then he should pardon the sailor who is spending a year in
jail taking pictures of the submarine and he should.

O'REILLY: Okay. Instead of the dope dealers that he is legged
letting out.

GIULIANI: And he should pardon Petraeus and he should pardon
Governor --

O'REILLY: Good. I hope he is watching tonight. Last question, you
were watching returns with Donald Trump last night.

GIULIANI: I was.

O'REILLY: Tell me, was he jumping up and down? Was he hooting? What
was he doing?

GIULIANI: He was very calm. I think he realized the turning point
when the exit polls turned out to be so far off our own
calculations. I think he realized he had a good chance. Once he saw
Florida turn and he knew he had Ohio. I always believed if he won
Florida and Ohio.

O'REILLY: Yes. Those were the bellwether.

GIULIANI: The rest will fall in.

O'REILLY: Was he in his tie or in his jammies?

GIULIANI: He was in his tie all the time.

O'REILLY: He never takes the tie off. In the shower, he is wearing
the tie.

GIULIANI: Which is rigged. I'm going to give the lecture at the
Reagan Library this Saturday night.

O'REILLY: They love me there. Don't mention my name.

GIULIANI: Had we lost, I don't think we would have had many people
there. Now we're sold out.

O'REILLY: Now you're going to be a big shot.

GIULIANI: Now we're sold out and President Reagan never ever took
his jacket off in the Oval Office. And Mrs. Reagan once told me, he
liked to take his jacket off, so it was hard for him.

O'REILLY: Yes, but Trump doesn't want to take his ties off because
he wants people to buy the ties.

(LAUGHTER)

O'REILLY: All right. Thank you for coming in, Mr. Mayor. We
appreciate it.
