Original video
About this source
Newsmax's interviewer identifies Giuliani at 03:23 and asks whether Mamdani should skip the ceremony; Giuliani answers at 03:48. At 08:14 Giuliani repeats his allegation about Muslims Mamdani supports. At 08:18–08:26 a Majority Report host makes a sarcastic rejoinder; that rejoinder is not Giuliani's wording. This is the same Newsmax appearance already cited as DI source 178 and position 184, dated September 6, 2026 in the existing record. Majority Report's later upload is not a new Giuliani statement. No individual targets or criminal guilt are independently established by this excerpt.
Before the quotation
The Newsmax interviewer asks whether Mamdani should skip the ceremony after discussing a ceremonial pen passed to an aide and that aide's legal clients. Giuliani answers affirmatively. The existing position 184 dates this original interview to September 6, 2026; the later Majority Report upload is a replay.
After the quotation
Giuliani broadens his criticism to Muslims and then repeats the allegation at 08:14. Beginning at 08:18, a Majority Report host makes a sarcastic rejoinder. These speakers must not be conflated. The two quoted excerpts are separated by other interview material and host interruptions. Mamdani's stated reason for attending and opposing responses remain separately recorded.
How this statement is classified
Giuliani expressly rejects Mamdani's attendance. His allegation forms part of that exclusion argument; the classification describes his response to attendance, not DI's judgment on the allegation.
