CUOMO: Do you have it in you to be attorney general? Do you feel that you have the energy?

GIULIANI: Oh my God.

CUOMO: Do you feel that you have the desire?

GIULIANI: I certainly have the energy, and there's probably nobody that knows the Justice Department better than me.

CUOMO: So, nobody's better than you. You just said — hold on. I got you. I finally got you. It took me 35 years. You just said, "If I couldn't point to three other people who are as good as me, then yes, if it's just me." You just said, "Nobody knows it better than I do."

GIULIANI: Well, I was an assistant U.S. attorney. I was the associate attorney general of the United States, third-ranking official under Ronald Reagan. I've argued in front of the Supreme Court of the United States. I've argued in almost every circuit. And I tried, as a personal lawyer and U.S. attorney, over 50 cases.

CUOMO: It's a good résumé.

GIULIANI: So I know the bottom of the Justice Department, and I know the top.
