America's Mayor Live (764): Former FBI Director James Comey Indicted
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Good evening.
This is Rudy Giuliani, and this is America's mayor live from Dover, New Hampshire.
And we have a live audience.
Well, we have an audience, a live one.
And Ted and I are here, and we were, of course, in the middle of our Rudy uh Giuliani show on Lindell TV when we informed of the breaking news.
We still haven't gotten in all these years, we got to get our horn or something.
Da-da-da-da!
You know, something like that.
Breaking news.
We either should get a uh a horn of something, or we should get like the screen goes like this.
Break it news, break it news.
Fox news.
Fox has those graphics.
Here's what we'll do.
Newsmax has those.
And then we'll have it, we'll have the voice of God.
You know, the voice of God is when the voice off, they use it in, they use it in live productions.
If you get introduced by like an unlike a person that doesn't appear, like they did at the at the at the funeral for Charlie.
They announced the uh uh this they announced whoever was going to come up and speak.
Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Secretary Peter Haigsaff, that kind of thing.
So we could we we could have breaking news, breaking news, breaking news.
A short while ago, James Cardinal Comey was indicted in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on two counts of obstruction of justice and making false statements before the United States Congress.
The people at the courthouse are all talking and saying, among other things, he must be really stupid.
You're wondering why is he indicted in Virginia rather than in DC, where it's 98% Democrat.
And I remember in my case, they didn't even they didn't even want to go out of the jury box in order to hit me with some kind of an enormous amount of money.
I mean, they were they were it's like worked for Trump.
Uh you know why?
This is where human frailty can just get you.
He was too damn lazy to come and uh testify before Congress.
He did it remotely, so there is venue and jurisdiction in Virginia, because that's where he shot off his lying mouse.
Allegedly lying mouth.
This is this is what an allegedly lying mouse looks like.
So he lied.
He lied about uh he lied about authorizing leaking to hurt uh the president in his uh overall uh participation along with a number of other people, and I think this is just the beginning of that case, which is to remove the president from to remove a lawfully elected president based upon purchased false and fraudulent evidence.
He was just one of many that was involved in that, but one of the key ones.
He was the head of the FBI.
But this lie was intended to cover that up.
And that's that's basically, I haven't seen the indictment, but I have seen the uh the the um just quick descriptions of it.
So if there is a detail wrong or two, excuse me, I'm I'm doing that based on what was what I can glean from the very brief report that that uh that we have.
Uh the main count carries a 20-year max.
Um, but really, for felony for for for for perjury, which is really the essential nature of the crime, I will tell you realistically, the max is about five years.
Umless you're a district of Columbia judge with a Trump person, in which case uh the max would be execution if they could get away with it.
Uh could be the most biased court, certainly in the history of the United States.
And what they did to the J6 people is unforgiv unforgivable.
Uh I'm not saying what they did didn't deserve some punishment, some of them, but nowhere near the numbers they punished and nowhere near the kind of punishments they imposed.
Not even compared to the fact that they let almost what they let 70% of the felonies go free in the district until Trump straightened it out.
70%.
I mean you get whacked over the head, nobody can do a damn thing about it.
So we'll have to see how that goes.
Ted, you wanted me to describe what happens next, right?
That's right, Mayor.
I think you know this.
Well, I I I uh what I have to know is do they require him to come in tonight or is he gonna come in tomorrow?
We're uh so I'm looking into I am almost uh look, I don't know the facts, but I'm gonna tell you something, and this is this makes a very, very big difference.
And it's the reason they should be disbarred, not me.
I am virtually certain they didn't arrest him.
Because that's the decent thing to do.
There is no reason to uh arrest a former head of the FBI.
Guy's not gonna run away.
You may hate him, you may dislike him, you may have a personal vendetta against him.
If you can't control that, get the hell out of law enforcement.
Uh you arrest him really if he legitimately is a risk of flight or danger to the community.
Now he's not running anywhere, and if he does, we'll get him right away.
And he's not a danger to the community.
What did you lie to the grocer?
And go around lying.
I mean he's already did his danger, his damage, rather.
So all of those arrests outraged me after my career.
Uh dressing up like Gestapo and arresting Roger Stone, putting ankle bracelets on Peter Navarro.
Just, I mean, that's the difference.
And the idea that we're doing the same thing they're doing is totally crazy.
They were making up crimes and using uh Gestapo tactics.
Uh where charging crimes for which there's certainly prima facie evidence that he lied.
There are witnesses who say he did.
That makes it a triable case.
Um let's assume, and I I hope maybe I'm assuming too much, that they're gonna treat him the way uh we have uh under the federal criminal justice for the last hundred and fifty years, not during the dark ages of Joe Biden when people were unnecessarily arrested, and in essence, put you know put through some form of torture.
So check it out and find out if you can get the details.
Um did they just announce it?
If they just announced it, then they would have called his lawyer and said, show up tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
They rarely do, they rarely rarely do uh presentations at nighttime.
It would have to be an extraordinary case, the Hinckley case, I remember we did at night.
I I assume he's gonna show up tomorrow, 10 o'clock in the Eastern District of Virginia, and enter a plea uh to the to the charge.
Tomorrow.
I'm trying to see if there's a time on that.
Does it say that?
I'm looking, I don't see.
So we'll go over a couple of other things.
Well, while um wasn't it amazing to see uh to see Trump uh say that I think Ukraine with the support of the European Union is in a position to fight and win all of the Ukraine back in its original form.
Why not?
But then the was, and also possibly get even more land, meaning take a little piece of Russia.
That's uh Putin.
Pay attention to that.
That's not there by accident.
I know this man.
He's trying.
He tried to give you a way to straighten what out the damage you did to yourself and your country.
I mean, I uh there's no question you did terrible damage to Ukraine, the worst kind, you killed innocent people.
But in terms of geopolitical situation, you lost everybody, but the communists that have to support you.
I mean, you had you had pretty you had pretty um pretty good relations with Europe that compromised us to a certain extent.
They they don't want anything to do with you.
Because they they see what you did to Ukraine and they say, oh man, that was stupid being with Putin, you did the same thing.
I mean, you you invaded uh an independent country.
This idea that it was part of a part of Russia, I mean I I don't know.
I I mean it that's questionable, but you're gonna go take it now.
After you have a treaty with them, that you're not gonna do it.
You have a treaty to defend them if they get attacked.
So I think what this means is the sanction, uh I actually believe the sanctions are going into effect as we speak.
It takes a while for them to all go into effect, but I think starting with the big boost, the big boost in the tariff for India.
Um, I mean, you know, when we say sanctions, we we may be thinking loosely here.
We may use duties and and tariffs as a way to do it as well.
The same effect.
Uh and faster to do.
Yeah, probably faster to do and easier to collect.
Both in both cases.
Plus, we got a lot of Russian money hanging around, which we've seized.
It's about time to use it to pay for the war.
But let's let them pay for the war against them.
Um the reports from the from the Soviet Union, sorry, Russia, uh, are that their economy is in the is in the tank.
It is doing very, very poorly, including gasoline shortages now spreading, it had been in Siberia and Crimea, and now spreading to other parts of Russia.
That is very good news for the Ukrainians.
The best news of all, which, except for the suggestion that Ukraine can now defend itself by going into Russia, which would be the second time that Trump has said that.
Except for that suggestion, there hasn't been a formal lifting of the restraint that we put on the Jupiters and the some of the missiles that we gave them that could go deeply into Russia and do tremendous damage.
Now, it's my understanding that what Ukraine wants to do with that, because they they you know, they've they don't want to escalate this into a world war.
What they want to do is to hit hard targets, meaning not do what Russia does.
Uh I thought the president made one mistake today when he said that that the casualties are mostly civilian, uh mostly military.
On the case of Russia, that's true.
Uh yes, they're battlefield uh casualties of the Ukrainians are military, but uh all I see is them hitting uh civilian targets, right?
Right.
Uh they're hitting they're hitting apartment buildings and they're hitting office buildings and um now they may be hitting hard targets and we're not seeing it.
I think we would, we would.
Whereas when Ukraine gets a chance to hit them, they're going at Their electrical structure, they're going at their military structure, except there are very serious limits about how far into Russia they can go.
Now, if you change that and you let them go into Russia, they can they can just as Russia is losing customers for oil.
If they can be allowed to bomb inside Russia, Russia's gonna lose oil as well.
And uh and all these uh drones that they're producing, they're gonna lose the factories where they produce the drones.
And that'll make a material difference in a war that Russia's been struggling with a lot harder than people thought against a much smaller and always thought of as not anywhere near a military rival to Ukraine, and for the last two years they fought them to a draw.
You know how much land uh you Russia has picked up in the last two years?
One percent.
That's why the president, I think, was humiliating them with being paper tigers.
Now the only but in a certain way he's right militarily, except there's a big big problem in the kitchen.
It's called uh uh uh having more nuclear arms than any country on earth, including the United States.
I'm not saying the most sophisticated, I'm not saying the most devastating, nor am I saying they have the capacity to deliver it the way we do, or to defend themselves the way we do.
But you don't have to be all that smart when you have weapons like that.
Uh so this has to be done with respect to the worst possible things that could happen, and you don't want to go there.
Uh, but at the same time, long term you can't let Russia succeed.
Because if they do, there'll just be another one and another one, and and and China will become emboldened.
And the Taiwan thing, which they're you know, they're scratching, they're scratching themselves to do Taiwan, they're gonna go do it.
Apparently, the Kremlin was having a shit fit over the president saying that they're a paper tiger, and they don't know how to deal, they don't know how to deal with the symbolism of it, Ted.
Yeah, you know, because of the language.
They they said they're insisting that this they're insisting there's still a bear, Ted.
Right.
Russia, Russia's never been a tiger.
We're a bear.
They don't get it.
What we're basically saying is you're a crappy little army that got the shit kicked out of them in Afghanistan.
Right.
Uh we didn't leave Afghanistan because we've got the shit kicked out of us.
We left Afghanistan after defeating the hell out of them.
There'd been two years of no deaths when we left.
And that's why I uh we we want Bagram back, we get back.
That's just a matter of flying the planes there.
It is quite something.
And uh to see them twist themselves in a pretzel.
But there's also it's it's quite something.
The president really stuck it to them.
Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years, a war that should have taken real military power less than a week to win.
Yeah.
He might be exaggerating a little.
Two, three weeks.
This is not distinguishing Russia.
In fact, it's very much making them look like a paper tiger.
There it is.
Peshkov uh rejected the characterations of Russian economy, contending that Moscow maintains resilience and macroeconomics.
And he also resisted the comparison to a tiger because they're more like a bear.
They're missing the paper.
Right.
They're missing the paper part.
Maybe he should have said they're a they're a paper bear.
They'd have gotten it better.
Quite something.
I don't know.
I don't know if um if the Russians are the swiftest, you know, in terms of Chinese are swift.
Yeah, right.
Well, it'll be interesting to see, Mayor.
It's been a we've seen a dramatic shift, at least from the president publicly.
Uh, And we'll see how Putin responds to this.
That's what I'm interested in.
Well, we're interested in how everyone responds to it, but it'll be interesting to see how Putin responds to the president's new posture.
Russia, uh Russia has suffered uh 250,000 deaths.
And 750,000 casualties for a million right now.
That's that's the um wow.
That's something.
And uh Ukraine has suffered um sixty to a hundred thousand deaths, which is substantially less.
Now that that would be true in fairness, although the numbers are a little bit off in there of an invading country.
With a country that has the capability of fighting a more or less a some form of a guerrilla war at home.
But I don't think people thought that Ukraine could do that.
This has been this has been a heroic effort.
They've taken what is considered to be the second or third most powerful military in the world and kept its encroachments minimal.
And then after the shock of the original encroachment, they've actually pushed it back a little.
And we showed you those maps, their original incursion.
They they had actually gotten all the way over to Kharkev.
They've been pushed all the way back.
And uh some places that they were hopeful of getting, they've just given up on.
And now they're actually asking in a peace agreement for things they couldn't get militarily.
Well, Jimmy Kimmel is back.
Oh gosh.
Was he funny?
Uh I didn't I didn't listen to him.
They said he tried he tried to act like he was crying.
Right.
He is back, and maybe on that note, Mayor, we'll take a quick break.
We have a special guest uh joining us.
Oh, good.
Uh as we continue to talk about some of the international issues, Ali Reza standing by.
But maybe we'll take a quick break and we'll come back.
Shortbreaker.

The snapback of UN sanctions on the Iranian regime should have taken place years ago.
The policy of appeasement by the West has only made the regime more aggressive.
The main source of terrorism and the main obstacle for peace is religious dictatorship in Iran.
The only solution is regime change by the Iranian people and their organized resistance.
This solution is very rich.
the regime is in its weakest state Iranian society is in an explosive condition and the resistance is in a state of readiness The world must hold the regime accountable and recognize the right of the Iranian people to overthrow the clerical regime.
Therefore, there is no need for foreign booths on the ground or providing money.
Good evening.
Of course, I I'm sure you you remember, but that is Madame Rajavid, uh, who is the uh acting president of uh the National Council of Resistance to Iran, which is um which is a shadow shadow government of a number of all the appropriate officials uh that would guide Iran through a transition to democracy uh with elections.
We'll have to we'll check with Ali Reyes exactly when I thought six or eight or nine months after uh after the overthrow of the the Ayatollah.
Now, there was um you know we've reported several times on the major demonstration that they had in Brussels.
Well, on Wednesday, um they um they had a major, they had a major demonstration in Manhattan uh when uh the the current president of Iran uh Massood possession was addressing the UN General Assembly, and they have that every year.
I've spoken at it many, many times, and uh it was quite well attended this time, with a great deal of hope that um the reign of terror is on its last legs.
But let's let's talk to uh Ali Reza, our good friend, who uh I'm sure was there.
Were you there, Ali Razor?
Absolutely, mayor.
Uh, first of all, thank you so much for uh having me uh on your show, and uh indeed the very first time that um I saw you in person and speaking about directly about Iran was at one of those rallies.
I believe it's it was like 2009, um that uh some 16 years ago.
And um and that uh those rallies have continued, but as you suggested this year was very different because it just felt different, but also the audience.
Um actually there were two back to back rallies on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tuesday was the first day of the start of the UN security, uh UN General Assembly, and they wanted to be there to um let the world leaders of 192 countries who come every year to let them know that uh the they need to look at Iran through the prism of the people of Iran and organized resistance, that there is an alternative to the uh uh Ayatollahs ruling Iran.
This is what the real deal that they need to look at.
There were thousands who had come from over 40 states uh with that message right in front of the uh United Nations, filling the whole area.
And then the next day on Wednesday, uh they came back uh this time coincided with the speech of uh Pezechkian, the uh regime's president, uh telling them they told the world that Pezeshian does not represent the people of Iran.
He represents a repressive regime.
He actually represents the supreme leader, and that um the everybody has come to support Mrs. Rajavia and her 10-point platform for the future of Iran, and that uh the values that the Iranian people and the Iran resistance represent is diametically opposite to that of the regime and uh and Pezeshion.
Uh so that was so important for the world leaders and the media to understand that when we talk about Iran, there are two sides.
One is the regime ruling that is very repressive, and the other one are the people of Iran that are represented by the resistance.
So uh the first the first one was when Trump was big, the second one was when the Prime Minister when the Prime Minister was speaking.
Yeah, the president of the regime, yes, exactly.
And how and how um do you have any sense of how the prime minister's speech went over in Iran?
Oh, I mean, you know, this guy is is a clown.
I mean, you know, he he spoke at the time that just hours before the Supreme Leader of uh, which is the real authority when it comes to the regime, Khamenei had already spoken and made his positions very clear.
Uh Khomeni had responded to uh President Trump uh statements and other world leaders' statements.
He had responded to um also the um uh the stamp back of the sanctions, basically saying we're gonna continue with our nuclear weapons program.
He said that we're not gonna back up.
Yes, you can see some of the uh scenes of the uh rally.
Um actually they were uh this this one we see is the first day of the uh rally, and and you can see the waving flags, the the uh inspiration among the uh especially the younger people, thousands of them were there, and they wouldn't stop all throughout two and a half hours of the rally.
Actually, they started even earlier, not even a single moment, they stopped waving the flags and and uh chanting and shouting.
Uh, but clearly uh Khameni had made it very clear that he's not gonna back down from uranium and Richmond, he's not gonna back down from his nuclear program, he's not gonna back down from the missile programs sponsoring uh terrorism, supporting their proxies.
Um so it I think in it in a way it was a clear indication of the absolute weakness of this regime, that they have no capability, they have no room to maneuver, they cannot back down.
Uh so that was, I think, an important sign, and you put it uh just suppose the uh you know the the rally, the uh organized resistance, the message coming from the people that yes, look at the alternative.
Um this is the alternative, this is the future of Iran, uh, that they have a 10-point plan that says there must be a separation between church and state, um, uh freedom of religion, freedom of political parties, uh, equal rights to men and women, free market economy, uh, and a non-nuclear republic form of government.
So that's why I think uh we got a lot of attention from the media, there were media from all over, not just the United States, from Europe, everywhere else, and they were stunned to see both the level of enthusiasm and the fact that this movement is led by a woman uh fighting against the misogynist regime.
Well that must really set their minds uh spinning around with a woman running it of course their their their fear and their hatred of the MEK and the related organizations is tremendous.
They have they have they they they you really have really have gotten to their imagination I'll tell you that oh absolutely mayor you know the number one preoccupation in the minds of the Supreme Leader is actually this movement the MEK network inside Iran but also the Parliament in exile uh the NCRI uh led by Mrs. Rajavi outside of uh Iran and and the Molas especially you know we're talking about the snapback of sanctions on
the Iran regime and uh the Ayatollahs certainly remember that the whole thing started when this movement, Mrs. Rajavi's movement first exposed the nuclear sites of Iran in August of 2002 that triggered the IEA inspections of the Iranian nuclear site and led to the uh Security Council resolution six of them actually that imposed sanctions on the Iran regime.
So when we called for the snapback of sanctions and eventually uh the uh Security Council vote voted uh in effect in favor of it uh the regime sees all of that um you know saying this movement the uh Mrs. Rajvi's movement has been responsible for that and also inside Iran they see all these uprisings they look at the resistance units of this movement as the engine for change um that have been pushing for bringing down the Ayatollahs but
or the platform, everything in that sense.
That's why you said, you know, the main preoccupation of the regime is actually this movement.
I think it's made a very big impression too, inside Iran, what you've been able to organize outside.
And if when people see the demonstration in Brussels and the demonstration in the United States and then the others that you have, that has to be a source of hope that they're not in it alone, that there is a very, very big Iranian community that supports them.
Because I'm sure, I'm sure the Ayatollah would like to present the picture that nobody supports them.
Exactly.
In fact, the 24 seven, the regime has been trying to say in their, you know, every Friday in the past 46 years, when they have the Friday prayers, leaders in every city controlled by the office of the Supreme Leader, there are three chants that they have those Friday prayers from the podium.
One is death to America, and then death to Israel, and then death to the MEK.
But the more they say it, the more it actually backfires, because it shows the public that the single, you know, most threatening force to the Ayatollahs is actually the MEK inside the country.
They keep talking about it.
And then while they're talking, they say it's nothing, they have no support.
They're just a cult and all of that.
But they keep talking for 46 years.
And
whatever they do just backfires especially among the younger generation uh who want a fighting force they want to be able to overthrow the mullahs they don't want to be just critics of the regime the whole world is criticizing the regime that doesn't do the job you need to think about change and that's where the role of the MEK comes inside Iran but also the parliament exile um in exile outside of Iran and that needs to translate into policy as you just heard Mrs. Rajabi talking saying
the the international community must recognize the right of the people of Iran to bring about change uh no need for boots on the ground or appropriation Of money, uh, then you will see the impact once that policy changes.
Well, I think the the amount of change you've been been able to bring about there is remarkable.
And there's just a an action forcing event that's necessary now.
Something that pushes it over the top.
I think all the ingredients are there.
We'll continue to show people that.
Because a lot of people outside of it will just naturally say to themselves, oh, it's uh where we're with the Ukrainian people.
It's gonna be too hard.
I uh please remember almost all tyrants get overthrown.
Exactly.
They all get overthrown.
This isn't when it is a question of when, not if exactly.
And it does have a lot of the elements, what you see there has a lot of the elements of a regime ready to go.
Absolutely, mayor.
You know, I remember the the Shah uh displayed a lot of force, you know, he had a an army that he was boasting about, he had all these fighter jets training to support of international community.
He became so arrogant that he uh dissolved all the political parties who were allegiant to him anyways.
But he said, Okay, there's only one single party, that's my party.
You are either a member of that party or you leave the country or go to jail.
Um, he put intellectuals in jail jail.
The uh notorious Evan prison was built under the Shah, thinking that okay, he's invincible.
And uh within a year, the whole thing went down because the people of Iran will not take any form of dictatorship, whether it's monarchical or theocracy, those dictators as invincible as they may look, uh but when the time comes, they will go down very quickly.
Well, that's very, very good.
Uh so what do you see coming up in Iran in the next couple of days?
Well, I I think um the the next couple of days, as you mentioned, are important because September 27th is the day that the snapback of the sanctions is actually going to go.
That's that looks like it's gonna happen.
If there's there's no way to stop it unless there is another resolution uh that would say delay it or stop it or uh anything like that, and that resolution needs to have uh both uh the vote but also no veto.
And uh it's it doesn't seem it's gonna happen because even if there is a resolution, as I and I know uh Russia and uh and China have introduced that resolution, and they said they want to put into vote tomorrow, Friday.
But you know, the whole purpose of that is to delay it for six months.
Well, what do you want to do in that six months?
Uh there is no indication whatsoever, even when you brought all that pressure on the regime that they're saying we're not gonna back down.
So you're gonna give them another six months to just drag under the circumstances and further solidify their position.
Uh, you know, the delaying justice uh is actually you know, is is not really the you're not applying justice.
So this is the time to do it.
There shouldn't be I I don't expect any changes because even today, just hours ago, the Europeans were talking to the uh Iran regime, uh trying to convince them to take certain uh steps in terms of uh uh you know abandoning their nuclear program, and they all came back and said, you know, there's no hope whatsoever.
So I think um the next two days are important because once the sanctions come back, they're huge.
These are sanctions that deal with the uh uh, you know, arms uh sales.
Yeah, they they deal with arms sales, they deal with their missile program, their drone program, uh their nuclear program.
You know, the uh the prior US Security Council resolution said all enrichment-related activities need to be stopped, meaning they can't enrich, they can't build centrifuges, they cannot do any research and development related to uh enrichment.
That's very important.
Uh, but also there were um asset fees, there were uh bans, uh, you know, uh travel bans, visa bans.
There were a number of senior officials of the regime who were all sanctioned.
All of those were lifted in 2015.
Uh, but that all is going to come back.
And every member state of the United Nations is required to abide by those uh sanctions.
Um you cannot go like your own way saying, you know, we're we're not gonna enforce it.
Of course, the regime will try to go around it, but I think you know, legally speaking, this is huge.
And that that would add to the problems that the regime is already facing, you know, the a very discontent population who hold the regime responsible for all of the misery that they are facing.
Economies in shambles, and nothing is working, no electricity, no water is really working.
At least four hours of uh of uh uh electricity cut off in uh major cities is happening right now.

You're going to want to specially order these.
This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
I'm telling you, it's great coffee.
Okay.
It's the best.
It really is great coffee.
I'm not exact that I'm Not exaggerating about at all.
Well, well, Mayor, we do have some breaking news.
This according to our friend Nick Sorter on Twitter.
James Cardinal Comey is expected to surrender tomorrow morning to federal authorities.
Uh officially being placed under arrest.
Or is that not how that works?
We'll take up the under arrest.
No.
There's no reason to place him under arrest.
It's just a matter of getting even.
And you you don't you want to play it the way it's supposed to be played.
Not the way you play it if you want to make somebody happy or get them enthusiastic.
I mean, it doesn't it should be evaluated on the merits of what he did wrong.
And without all this pompous circumstances and marines and this guy's not going to go anywhere.
Let him have his chance of court.
Well, he has responded on X. He posted a video.
So this is James Comey's uh official response to tonight's indictment.
My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump.
But we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way.
We will not live on our knees.
And you shouldn't either.
Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant.
And she's right.
But I'm not afraid.
And I hope you're not either.
I hope instead you are engaged.
You are paying attention, and you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it.
Which it does.
My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I'm innocent.
So let's have a trial.
He says keep the faith at the end.
I cut that part off.
He seems very emotional for a guy that's always very cool.
I don't uh the the evidence, you never know, but the evidence looks strong.
I I would say the evidence looks strong.
We'll see.
We'll see.
So when they say he's gonna surrender to federal authorities, that just means on his own accord, right?
Yeah, but he doesn't arrest.
So then yeah.
Yes, it's of his own accord, but they can arrest him at any time they want.
So he's kind of letting them know that he's just gonna come.
Yeah, he's then they're they're I don't think they had any intention of arresting him, but if they did, they might just then wait until tomorrow.
They can always put a surveillance on somebody's house, right?
So is this one of a number of issues he faces, right?
This is just the first, these are the first charges, right?
This isn't there's a lot more out there on him beyond just these two uh these two counts, correct?
I mean, at least alleged as James Comey.
I mean, this is just in relation to him lying to Congress, right?
About leaking to the press.
This doesn't this hasn't get to the substance of the matter.
Well, a lot of the a lot of the rushes barred by the statute of limitations, so you can't get to it.
Like the Russia gate hoax and that stuff.
Okay, so they're just getting what they can before the statute runs out.
Exactly.
Exactly.
So what do you have?
Do you want to make any uh I don't want to say predictions or anything else you can add, Mayor, to this.
I mean, this is a fast moving story.
It happened just hours ago, but people I think this will be a pretty quick trial.
It's not it's not gonna be a very uh difficult case to get ready for.
Uh there are five to 15 15 witnesses, I would think.
Uh that should take a week, week and a half.
I would say I would think that um I think it's a better chance of convicting him than his getting acquitted.
I think there's enough enough evidence that he that he lied.
The question is, sometimes you get in these cases what's known as jury nullification.
The jury doesn't think it's important enough.
You know, okay, he lies to a grand jury.
We got more important things to deal with.
Right.
We'll have to see.
Let's see how it plays out.
So he says that what he says at the end here.
I'm innocent.
So let's have a try.
There are, I mean, there are many, they're gonna be many proceedings between now and the time they have a trial.
If they get to a trial, and that's plenty plenty of time for them to work out a deal or something like that.
But they're gonna they're gonna need that to protect him.
And let's hope he's a minister.
Gentleman and the acts that way in prison, it doesn't get any extra time put on him, which is what could happen if he did something silly in prison.
I I think having gotten over the charge now, he'll just be um a little more like normal for him.
Things will become normal.
He'll be able to prepare, he'll be able to prepare for a defense, and the government will be able to prepare for a prosecution.
The only risk in this is they've narrowed it so much, they've made it a little bit smaller than what you would usually get to see.
Okay.
Everything, everything is everything is a little bit um down a little, but they're moving very quickly.
You think about some of these other cases, they wake a they wait a week or two.
So he's gonna enter his indictment uh plea tomorrow.
Um I'm imagine you want a real surprise.
Suppose he pleaded guilty imagine that.
Wow.
Well, I he's gonna plead not guilty, and he's gonna ask for a trial uh by jury, I'm sure, and then they'll go through the discovery process and we'll find out what the case is about.
So there's still a long way to go.
The president yesterday made it pretty clear that the UN is a useless organization, not worth anything anymore.
Um, I thought I thought it I don't know that any American president has been as honest with them as as he has, and I think that is a very good thing to have occasionally because it brings you back to life and reality.
So, Ted, what do you make of the fact that there seemed to be a lot of similarities between this and the murder of Charlie Kirk?
Yep, and the FBI even uh pointed out that uh the similarities, mayor, and that this individual had searched on his computer or phone device, uh Charlie Kirk shot video, and some other indications that show he may have uh I don't want to say that he was inspired by it, but he had taken steps where this could have been a copycat.
Yeah, I mean it kind of kind of gets messed up by him doing it himself with the police uh watching him.
The police were watching him, and he was able to evade the police, right?
It's bizarre.
And it wasn't further, it wasn't further, it wasn't necessary for him to go any further, yeah, because he's gonna turn himself in.
Yeah, well, it's just bizarre.
They're saying nobody else involved.
And this is the are we talking Dallas or uh we're talking Dallas?
Yeah, that's right.
Uh at this point, as you pointed out, too.
They like to use this lone gunman.
Honestly, actually, both, both, nobody else involved, even the other one, and the two Trump, the two Trump, what's happening, nobody else is involved.
Isn't that something, Mayor and you had passed?
Yes, yes, yes.
It's it's uh again, it's a co it's it's a hell of a coincidence.
And we and let's see, we have this chart.
I don't know if we get if we printed it out.
We'll try to, I'm gonna I'm gonna bring this chart up, it's gonna take a second, Mayor.
Uh, but we you know, we can it's it's very one-sided, the what we're seeing in terms of um these protests or or sorry, this violence.
This violence is is one sided, and we have some pictures I'm gonna bring up the screenshot here that just shows, and this is something, and we we took this from Benny Johnson, our friend.
Um that's how do you argue with something like this, right?
Uh when we're gonna put it up on the screen here, argue with what the following chart.
Um that just demonstrates where the violence is coming from.
Can you put it up?
Yep, we put it up.
This is uh we gotta take off this the Chirons here.
The 21,765, what does that represent?
Uh total violence rate, all violence, yeah.
Violent crime, in other words, violent rate by party.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Look at that for every 200,000 people, 21,000.
Look at that.
So that's from our friend that's from Benny Johnson.
You gotta give Benny some credit for that.
Well, we had a good interview with Benny today.
We did.
We did.
So the breaking news tonight, of course.
James Cardinal Comey has been indicted.
That's right.
And he's gonna be arraigned tomorrow.
He's then it'll go forward on what appears to be a fairly quick trial.
We'll see if that um if that if that works, if it is, if it is in fact shorter than it has then uh it is it then it's turned out to be at other times.
So the newspapers today are speculating if Trump is making a new start with regard to Putin.
Is it a new start or is it just a continuation?
I mean, he has said he would take it only for so long.
Now it's so long.
Well, however, he's gotten there, I think it's a good place to be, right?
And better for us, better for Ukraine.
Yeah, that's that's where we're where we left off before talking to um Ali Reza.
The president has made a dramatic shift.
Um, and now says Ukraine can win, right?
In a matter of weeks.
Now, what do you how do you interpret that?
What is he really getting at with that?
And how do you think Putin will respond?
What do you mean?
To President Trump's shift, right?
Um it'll be interesting to see if Putin, you know, how he how he uh responds, right?
Because we've seen him, he seems to be willing to kind of take the steps he feels is right for his country.
Uh no matter what we do, no matter what you know, President Trump has offered, you know, multiple times.
He has met with him.
And so and what will this mean for Zelensky?
And is this President Trump kind of trying to boost Zelensky a little bit to kind of get you know kick him in the butt a little?
Um I think there's a lot to and and and NATO, right?
And NATO's obviously watching the president and and his shift in tone, and maybe to see what that means for NATO.
Um, so I guess it's just something we'll have to continue to watch here to kind of see see how things progress.
Well, I think the president has made a pretty good case that the UN is useless.
I hope we follow up on that and take out all the money we can and let them just do what the hell they want, which is not particularly constructive.
I thought it was very, very uh uh meaningful that in um that the UN and Europe and places like that are still very much tied into climate change and wasting an awful lot of their money on climate change.
I think the pressure that Trump is putting on them to to build a representative army will of necessity take away from that, right?
Because it's population uh is small, and it's population of of fighting aged men and women is small.
So um they they they have they have to be thinking a little bit in advance of than just pumping yourself right in.
Right.
Right.
It's we gotta get uh our friend, we gotta get the mayor of Keev, your friend back on Mayor Klitschko.
Mayor Klitschko of Kiev.
Yes.
We had him on not too long ago, and he checked in after our little accident.
So we'll see if we can't get him back on to see what uh the latest is over there in Kiev.
But he has he has great judgment, I'll tell you that.
Right.
So what else is going on in the world, Mayor?
Well, let's see, let's make sure we got everything.
Tune in to News Max at 9 30 tonight.
So if you're not watching, if you're watching us live, if you watch this, a lot of people watch this on tape.
Uh, but if you're watching us live, we will be on with Greg Kelly in a half hour.
And that'll be live on Newsmax.
Um, we've got the president.
The president has put up a beautiful, beautiful painting of his predecessor, which I thought was just so gracious, and having it in relaxing clothes, so he's got portraits of all the presidents that will put up.
You get to the portrait of um here it is of the first idiot.
Let's see what you see.
He likes having it sandwiched in between the two of them.
Two of him, huh?
Look at that.
Yeah, he's got him surrounded.
Good camera work at the end here where they show the uh to save it, but they show up in between, right?
So it's in between the two.
This is quite something.
Let's see if we got some sound on this.
There's no sound.
There it is.
There's W. Barack.
And there's President Trump.
Isn't that great?
That's something love that.
That is beautiful.
That is quite something.
That is quite beautiful, and the reality is that the world is so complicated, you have to find ways to simplify it.
So that's why it's really important to be able to analyze and come up with your own notions of what's true and what isn't and why, and probably gonna help you more than anything else.
And always, always, always, always keep uh keep your heads, your head straight in an objective framework.
So, this is some more breaking news we have, mayor.
Uh, a gentleman by the name of Troy Edwards Jr. says uh to our friend Miss Halligan, who's now the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, dear Miss Halligan, to uphold my oath to the Constitution and country, I hereby resign as an assistant United States attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia and the Department of Justice effective immediately.
So there so who who is he now?
Troy Edwards doesn't say it in this letter.
He happens to be the son-in-law to Mr. James Comey.
So the son-in-law of James Comey is letting us know that he is now resigning effective immediately.
So is it son law is taking a leave?
He's just resigning.
The daughter has resigned, right?
Yeah, she was in New York.
She already, yeah.
So they were both working in DOD.
So yeah, his son and his daughter.
But now he is out at the Eastern District of Virginia.
Isn't that interesting?
He had a those are aren't those the two most high profile districts.
Southern District of New York, Eastern District of Virginia, or not.
No, it's not.
I would say it's uh the Southern District of New York, the District of Pennsylvania, uh Miami, for sure, DC, Los Angeles for sure, DC, because it overlaps federal and state.
Um the rest of them, it depends a lot on who the U.S. attorney is.
Okay.
And what's bringing the right the right people, the right people.
And they tend to shift a little because people shift.
Right.
But it's a worthwhile job if done by still somewhat.
Right.
Uh I'd say somewhat fresh out of law school and a little younger and taking taking a look at things for the first time.
Right.
Less less less able to be made cynical because we've been at it for so long.
Right.
So we'll have to see.
The trial starts in about two weeks.
I think they said that.
Oh, wow.
So they'll get their movement on this.
And it's gonna last.
It's gonna last you know about that time, about six weeks.
Okay.
Well, we'll we'll be following this closely, of course.
And we'll bet we can't get in the operating room.
Right.
Yeah.
Well, it's very sad when you see someone indicted like that.
So you can care about.
So we're gonna take a break until tomorrow.
Right.
And um tomorrow we'll be on at seven on Lindell TV, and we'll be on at eight here, right here, and we'll catch catch you up on what on what you need to know.
And just real quick, who are we sad about getting indicted tonight?
Probably.
You said you mentioned we're sad about somebody getting indicted.
No.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah, okay.
I think maybe we're maybe as being sarcastic.
Being sarcastic, right?
Yeah.
I was like, I missed that.
But uh, but but at the same time, we don't go around celebrating or gloating, right?
Like you said, Mayor, this is another somber moment.
No, I mean it shows.
Right.
Let's just give it to them.
Right.
That's what their job evaluated and decide.
Right.
Uh so yeah, so tune in to Newsmax in just a few minutes.
We'll be on with Greg Kelly.
Oh, good.
Uh, for those that are watching live, if you're watching us on tape, chances are we're not about to go on Greg Kelly.
Uh, but but I'm sure you can find the uh the tape of it.
So we'll be on with Greg Kelly at the bottom of the hour.
So head over to Newsmax and we'll we'll see everyone tomorrow night, 7 p.m.
We'll be back at seven on Wendell and at eight on X. And if you want to catch us on in about a half hour or so on uh Newsmax.
Well, and also we'll be you'll be able to see us on uh on Greg's in about 20 minutes, less than that.
Yeah, 20 minutes, yeah.
So we will sign off for tonight.
Well, thank you very, very much for for for listening to us and ask you to pray for for us, for the people of Ukraine, the people of India, um all over the world, of course, the people from Israel, people of the United States and uh and our president.
He really is a remarkable president, but he's gonna need incredible strength, which he has, but praying, praying to him and praying for him is a very appropriate thing to do.
So you all have a wonderful evening.
Go go go to um Newsmax.
Yeah, I I said Dr. Maria, but she's not on tonight.
Not on tonight, so we can go over to Newsmax and uh watch the mayor with Greg Kelly.
So go over to Newsmax.
And we'll be there shortly.
We certainly will.
Bless America.
It's our purpose to bring to bear the principle of common sense and rational discussion to the issues of our day.
America was created at a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreements, anger, hatred.
It was a book written in 1776 that guided much of the discipline of thinking that brought to us the discovery of our freedoms, of our God-given freedoms.
It was Thomas Paine's common sense, written in 1776, one of the first American bestsellers, in which Thomas Payne explained By rational principles, the reason why these small colonies felt the necessity to separate from the kingdom of Great Britain and the King of England.
He explained their inherent desire for liberty, for freedom, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the ability to select the people who govern them.
And he explained it in ways that were understandable to all the people, not just the elite.
Because the desire for freedom is universal.
The desire for freedom adheres in the human mind and it is part of the human soul.
This is exactly the time we should consult our history.
Look at what we've done in the past and see if we can't use it to help us now.
We understand that our founders created the greatest country in the history of the world.
The greatest democracy, the freest country, a country that has taken more people out of poverty than any country ever.
All of us are so fortunate to be Americans.
But a great deal of the reason for America's constant ability to self-improve is because we're able to reason.
We're able to talk.
We're able to analyze.
We are able to apply our God-given common sense.
