Rudy Giuliani was in Seattle on Monday for a fundraiser with Congressman Dave Reichert and Red County sat down with America's Mayor for an exclusive One-on-One interview. Mr. Giuliani voiced his enthusiastic support for Representative Reichert, offered insights on the presidential election, Iran's nuclear ambitions and, of course, his beloved Yankees.

What would you say to voters in the 8th District as to why they should re-elect Congressman Reichert?

Congressman Reichert has been very effective as a leader and very effective on national security. In fact, he has become an expert on security. He's on the Homeland Security Committee, and port security is enormously important here. He's been effective in bringing things back to the district and he's doing a great job.

He's one of the representatives in congress who can work with people on both sides of the aisle. He's a Republican who can work with Democrats and get things done with Democrats. We need people who can work with both Democrats and Republicans. In fact, in terms of what you want for your District, that's the kind of congressman you need.

As a person who has witnessed first-hand the horrific acts of radical Islam, how do you believe the U.S. and our allies should address the emerging nuclear threat from Iran?

We have to be on offense with terrorism. That has to be the operative principle. We need to be ahead of them rather than falling behind them, as we have sometimes done in the past. We have to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power. That has to be a non-negotiable goal. Then we have to organize countries to help us to accomplish that, and we have to be willing to take the steps to accomplish that.

I think we are much better off in terms of accomplishing that with a president like John McCain. We need a leader who can be strong, who can be tough, who can be determined, who understands foreign policy, and who understands that part of the world.

Barack Obama is probably the most inexperienced candidate for president in the last 100 years. I don't think we have had a candidate for president that has had less experience at foreign or domestic policy and decision making, in particular, than Barack Obama. That is not a personal attack, that is just a reality. In fact, I'm not saying anything terribly different than Joe Biden has said or Hillary Clinton has said. They have both said in terms stronger than I think any Republican would say that he's not prepared to be president.

The place it would hurt you the most to have somebody who's not prepared to be president is in the area of national security and in dealing with terrorism. I think we saw that in his reaction to the whole situation between Russia and Georgia. He had three different reactions that he changed two different times before he basically gave the same response John McCain had.

As a president, you don't have the luxury of getting it wrong twice. He got the surge wrong. Last year at this time I was running for president and I remember this, Senator Obama was saying we shouldn't pursue the surge. He said that America had sort of agreed with Harry Reid that America had lost, that we should pull out. Well the surge has worked and John McCain was right and he was wrong. I think we want a president who has the experience to handle these things. Joe Biden has said that Barack Obama would have to get on the job training.

You mentioned your presidential bid. Any chance of another Rudy Giuliani run for the White House down the road?

Right now Rudy Giuliani is working for John McCain. My soul focus is to get him elected and to get Republicans like Dave Reichert elected. People who are able to really accomplish things in Congress and in the White House.

I know you are a big Yankees fan, so I have to ask you, what do you think of the team leaving the hollowed ground of Yankee Stadium?

Well, I'm going to be there for the last game at Yankee Stadium, one way or the other. I have tickets for the last regular season game and I'm hoping the last game is a World Series game. I know probably better than most that the Yankees need a new stadium, as the Mets do. Those are old facilities, almost to the point of being dangerous because you have to keep repairing them, particularly Yankee Stadium. But I'm going to miss it not being on the same ground and I'm hoping the dynamics of a beautiful new stadium will make up for that.
