Time Text
And we're live from Palm Beach, Florida, as you see in the background, Mar-a-Lago.
And we begin with some interesting developments in Venezuela with the very strange Nicholas Maduro.
I mean, he's been pounded now for months.
And I don't know what the, we've killed like 58, I don't know, maybe 90. drug dealers, just knocked out about five boats in the last three or four days.
We've got a tanker all tied up that has a Russian flag with lots of oil on it that we want to take.
I think we've already taken one already.
And it's been made very, very clear that what's the answer?
What's the answer to solving the situation in Venezuela?
I think that question was asked to the chief of staff, Susie Wiles.
She said, Maduro's got to go.
Well, he's trying to negotiate.
He's making calls now trying to negotiate.
Now, first of all, I think that's the first smart thing he's done in quite a while.
I mean, he's sitting there and it's just, you just don't know when something's going to pop off and go get him.
When they hit the boat on shore, I thought they were going for him.
And that was a clandestine action originally.
The president unclandestined it, if that's a word, declandestined it, opened it up.
But he really is in our hands.
I mean, and we have no love laws for him for any number of reasons, not the least of which is all the Americans that get killed because of the drugs that he and his countrymen bring into the United States.
Also, because of all the criminals that he sent there.
You just think of Lake and Riley and multiply it by a thousand and you say to yourself, what the hell do we want this guy around for, right?
Pause, I mean, beyond that, he's a national security threat with regard to his relationships with China.
That's why the Democrats like him.
I mean, you know, the Democrats were all upset that Trump has taken out these drug boats.
Maybe it's interrupting shipments for their staff.
So a lot of the Democrats' staff on Capitol Hill use a lot of drugs, Ted.
Well, I mean, if I work for those guys, something might happen to me.
I mean, they're a bunch of real losers.
Yeah, well, and you know that.
They weren't as bad when you worked there, were they, Ted?
They weren't as bad when I worked.
Well, you never worked.
You were never as good.
I never worked on it.
God forbid on every Capitol Hill.
No, no, no.
You don't want to be a congressman, let alone.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Let alone a staffer.
I cannot imagine Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
I was in Kansas.
I'd have to run for the Senate.
But you know, the Senator said.
You imagine putting a life in jeopardy.
You don't have to be in the Senate.
The Senate, you know, they don't think of themselves as Congress, right?
They think of themselves as somehow part of the executive branch with the way they carry themselves.
The House of Representatives, I can never imagine you.
Senator Giuliani, son of the mayor, America's Senator.
That's like the godfather.
Senator Giuliani, Mayor Giuliani, President Giuliani.
Oh, we'll get there next generation, Pop.
We love that.
You know, I have to do the Godfather.
We should keep the script right over there with the Bible.
Yeah, we got to have a lot of the classes.
God's got to come back because one of my favorite interpreters of the Bible today made news.
That's right.
One of the great Roman Catholic leaders in the world, Bishop Robert Barron.
Bring that up now.
New Fire Ministry, which is unbelievable producer of both Biblical tracks, uh, religious works, religious movies, not just Catholic, uh, Christian and Jewish.
Um, he's an extraordinarily well-rounded individual, you know, priests, uh, priests-like lawyers and everybody else went through a bad period.
But you gotta understand that priests are enormously well-educated people.
I mean, to be to be a priest, uh, you need to do uh at least four years after after college.
I mean, if you could have a regular college education as long as you had enough theology and uh religion built in, if you didn't, you'd probably have to do a makeup course.
Uh, in the old days, you used to go to a minor seminary for high school, and then you'd go to the then you graduated from high school, and then your college would be in the seminary, and then four more years after college.
It's like it's like getting a doctor's degree, um, and that's mostly studying that's really about half theology and half liturgy.
Uh, because the liturgy of the Catholic Church is extraordinarily complicated and beautiful, as it is for the Greek Orthodox Church for that matter.
Um, I don't want to be I don't want to be like just prejudiced, and it's quite a bit more beautiful than I'm sorry, quite a bit more beautiful than most of the other Christian churches, the Orthodox and the Roman Catholic.
I mean, that's why I mean, who did Mozart write masses for?
Who did Bach write masses for?
Bach wrote a Mass for the Catholic Church, and he was a devout Lutheran because you couldn't quite get now.
Bach did do great vespers for the Lutheran church.
And I used to tease my father.
I used to tell him I was going to convert because I couldn't become a priest because you can't get married, so I'm going to convert.
And I said, Maybe I'll become a Lutheran.
I like their music the best.
He said, If you do, I don't remember what the threats were, but they were pretty dire.
Um, well, the number one, the number one story, I guess, is Maduro.
And let's what, what, what do we, what, what, what do we, what do we say about Maduro?
Uh, did he give an explanation of what it is he's reaching out for?
And have we have not responded yet, right?
Meaning, meaning the U.S.
I don't think, I don't think our friend, I don't think our friend who we saw on New Year's, right, right, the great Secretary of State, has much regard for him.
I think he thinks he's a scumbag.
Sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
I think he thinks he's a bad guy, right?
Well, here is Maduro during an interview.
I'm not sure if this has an English translation, though.
So, it just takes a second to format it.
But the president hasn't made a response yet to Maduro's remarks.
I will listen to something.
That's a conversación, but the evoluciones todo conversación no sido agradables.
Yes, pervo.
Y el puelo estados unido, yo la digo no puedevenido diciendo.
Here in Venezuela ten puedormano al puedo estad unido, inclusive el digo aquí tienen a mobier na amigo.
Pesara conversar en serio contato en la mano yo gobier restaurus unido lo sabe por que se demos dicho a mucho de sujo sero que siquierem.
Conversar seriamente del con a cuerdo de combat contra na cotrafico tamos listo.
Que siquierem.
Petrolio de Venezuela estálista Venezuela parimber estadienza como concherón cuando quieram donde quiere y cómo quiero.
That was yesterday, yes.
And no response yet from the White House.
Nope.
But they're letting them, they're really letting them let him hang out there, huh?
Right.
Well, that might have been what's the time that actually might be from earlier today.
That's still early.
But you look dark in the video.
Just check and make sure.
Just check and make sure that there's no response from the White House.
Meanwhile, meanwhile, the FBI, again, starting to act like the FBI, thank you, Cash, foiled a potential New Year's Eve terror plot inspired by ISIS.
So when we see on New Year's Eve, the new mayor, a communist mayor of New York, taking the oath of office on the Koran, remember that's the book that inspires ISIS to kill us because the book tells that tells us, Muhammad tells them to kill us.
Why that book wasn't taken and shoved down his throat before he got a chance to use it, I have no idea.
Why we give any respect to that book at all is beyond me.
I'll read you a couple of quotes, but over the weekend, we'll have a podcast out and we'll give you a bunch of quotes from the Quran that'll make you say, yeah, there's a good place to put that book.
Just don't get you don't get it flushed up, you know.
It's not, it is, this is not the biggest and most dangerous canard of this new century, which started with the attack of September 11, was when our response was that Islam is primarily a religion of peace.
Uh-uh, it's primarily a religion of war with very quiet, with a very quiet majority that doesn't want to have war, but doesn't have the guts to say anything about it.
Now, that's the truth.
If we face it, we can beat them and we'll save Western civilization and we'll save Judaism and we'll save Christianity.
All of which the Koran and their esteemed leader tells them to destroy.
Well, Iran is going through a tremendous set of protests that are getting more and more active.
We spoke about that last night, and tonight we have someone who knows more about it than anyone I know, and that's Ali Reza, my good friend, who I guess is in Washington?
Dad, I believe so.
Maybe we'll take a short break and come back.
Yeah, sure.
And he's going to bring us up to date.
He's going to bring us up to date.
I spoke yesterday to his associates, Madame Rajavi and Farzine, and got their perspective.
but no one really is on top of this better than Ali Raza Chef Sagarti.
So let's take a break and we'll come right back to that.
And again, thank the FBI for thwarting that ISIS plot on New Year's Eve.
And also congratulations to Mayor Adams on pulling off a very, very safe New Year's Eve in a place that really is to target New York.
U.S. Army Major Scott Smiley paid a high price serving our nation.
Scott was leading his platoon in Iraq when a blast sent shrapnel through his eyes, leaving him blind and temporarily paralyzed.
Scott would become the first blind, active duty military officer before medically retiring years later.
Thanks to friends like you, the Tunnels and Towers Foundation gave Scott and his family a mortgage-free, specially adapted smart home.
Show your support for America's heroes now.
Donate $11 a month to Tunnels and Towers at t2t.org.
Here we are, pretty much at the beginning of the process here at this pristine, I call it a laboratory.
It's not like a factory, it's like a hospital.
This is the beginning of the process for roasting.
Deep green, very good quality.
Most people don't use this quality.
We deal with small farmers because they'd like to know who we're dealing with.
They give us the highest quality, all organic, non-GMO.
You should know all Arabica beans.
No Robusto.
All Arabica.
they're gonna go into the roaster and it'll get roasted for about 20 minutes or so oh my goodness Look at these.
My goodness, you're going to want to specially order these.
This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
Well, welcome back to America's Mayor Live on the second day of 2026.
Keep reminding myself because I know the next check I write, I'm going to put 2025 down.
So do we have Ali Razor?
We do.
Happy New Year, my good friend.
Mayor, great to see you on the show.
And 2026 is definitely going to be a great year.
Hopefully this will be the year.
I'm going to go out on a limb and predict it.
I'm going to predict it.
We're going to see a change.
We're going to see a change.
And starting the last couple of days of the year, maybe about three days ago, I started to get this feeling just reading, you know, these are the things that happened before an overthrow.
And what I'm talking about are not just the protests, but the protests about bread and butter issues, the protests about wages and the protests about the environment and the protests about just plain ordinary dictatorship.
And I mean, they weren't like political, they weren't religious.
And then when I saw they spread out beyond Tehran, it took me back to 2018, you know, 20 back then when you were showing me the protests in every city in Iran.
So can you give me a sense of what's going on?
Absolutely, mayor?
Um, you know what's really been happening, and today was the sixth day of the protest.
It started in Tehran with the bazaar, which is uh, you know, the traditional bazaar.
These are small businesses that traditionally have been supportive of the regime since many years ago, and the economic situation and the discontent got so bad that this sector uh started um the.
You know, they shut down their their, their um, shops and went on protest, and then that expanded to other parts of Tehran.
Then you had other cities, the smaller and larger cities, where the poor, the deprived, which used to be the big bedrock of support for the mullahs, they got involved and started protesting.
And then you had the universities, the intellectuals uh, who joined.
So you have three main sectors of the society, the traditional bazaar uh, the poor and the intellectuals, all of them combined.
This is a big problem for the ayatollahs.
Now, the foundational problem is actually the economy.
That's how things start, and the?
Um, nothing is working and the the system is so corrupt uh, that is beyond repair.
Nor there is there any intention, uh to repair it, because the money and resources of the country goes to the revolutionary guards, to the clerics and their proxies in the region, as well as funding the nuclear weapons program, the missile program and the drone program of the Iran regime, but increasing the budget for the uh repressive forces to suppress and kill uh the population.
So this is a situation that um is a big dilemma for the regime.
Now, I think the slogans are very indicative of where things are going um.
The main slogans are, death to Khamenei, which is the supreme leader of the Irano regime, death to the dictator, which is him, and then down with the oppressor, be the shah or the supreme leader, making it very clear that the goal is not to go backwards and pick up another form of dictatorship, which was the Shah's dictatorship which, by the way, people in a nationwide popular revolution overthrew in 1979, but rather they want to move forward.
To see, I mean, why would they why, why would they uh put in power someone that stole uh, you know, three quarters of the country?
Absolutely, I I think the guy, the guy, uh the son, is a near do Well, who's lived the life of a prince uh based on the poverty of Iran.
I mean, his old man and and mother stole everything that wasn't locked down.
I mean it'd be ridiculous to go to go from from dictatorship to dictatorship.
You know, oh gee, we'll have a little better dictatorship uh, but I mean no, I think the reality is that uh if, if they overthrow uh, if they overthrow the ayatollah they, they desperately want democracy uh from, you know, a decent government where these are, these are intelligent people, these are educated people.
This is a country that potentially has great wealth.
Uh, this is not some pathetic, you know country that's desperate and uh, it's been terribly victimized.
Uh you, you know it better than anyone.
I mean, you've almost been killed yourself, you've lost relatives, you've lost a lot of your best friends, and who knows how many more you're going to lose because they're killing people left and right right now.
Uh so, If they're going to do something, we must do something serious, not something ridiculous.
And the thing I like about this is here, here we're going through this big confusion about Syria.
Like Jalani, can we trust him?
Can't we trust him?
Personally, I think we got to take a chance.
That's my view.
But there are a lot of my colleagues or people who feel we're being suckered.
We don't have that problem here.
We've got Madam Rajavi, we've got the National Council, we've got people that have been working at this for 30, 40 years, and certainly the last 15 or 20, ready to guide a very, very disciplined transition to elections.
Very pro, let's call it our values, our mutual values.
This is this is a this.
I mean, this has all the makings of maybe just a little push.
And I, you must have been very surprised.
They must have been very surprised with the president's reaction, huh?
Well, um, certainly, I'm sure you saw Iran's reaction that the president of the United States took a very strong stance against the regime and in support of the protesters.
The mullahs are not used to this.
They have been used to over four decades of appeasement by the West or you know, giving them concessions, finding a way of working with the Ayatollahs.
And I think you saw the reaction of some of the senior leaders of the Iran regime against the statement that was made by the president of the United States.
But in the that'll help with him a lot.
I mean, that was just that was a reaction.
I don't know exactly when he put this out, but we saw him last night.
No, not last night, the night before, right, Ted?
We saw him the night before.
I'll quote it: if Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue.
We are locked and loaded and ready to go.
Well, the main concern of honestly, you know how well I know him and how I respect him and love him.
I never even expected a more he's upset.
When he makes a statement like that, this man's upset.
He doesn't make statements like this.
Just think of the statements that he's made.
They've been sort of even before he attacked them the way he did, they were pretty moderate statements.
This is a very strong statement.
He's really warning them.
You leave those people alone, pal.
You know, dictators get a choice here.
They can either save their people and go out, or they can take their people down with them.
And we got to see about these guys, huh?
Well, you know, what's concerning to Khamenei Supreme Leader Khomeini, he knows that change will come to Iran by those who are fighting this regime.
He has seen the example of Assad, the biggest ally the Iran regime has had for decades in Syria, and he was gone so rapidly.
So he's very concerned about his own fate that will be similar to that of Assad.
It's very doable.
It's very possible because, you know, Assad seemed to be invincible, having the support of some foreign powers and the regime and a lot of the proxies of the regime.
And at some point, Iran had about 70,000 of their proxies in support of Syria operating in Syria to keep him in power.
All of that is gone.
So that's why I think it's so important to understand that Iran is really in an explosive situation.
This is the latest round of uprisings that started back in 2017.
People are not asking for foreign boots on the ground or appropriation of money.
None of that is needed.
Why?
Because on the ground, there exists an organized force with a history of decades of resistance against the mullahs who paid the price, stood firm against the Iranian regime, who have been the target of the regime's terrorism, who have been very effective in exposing the nuclear sites of Iran and their terror operations, their missile program, their drone program, and all of that.
And they are acting as engine during the protests.
You know, those resistance units that the MEK has, which is the same movement that exposed the nuclear sites, these resistance units have been doing this for years, showing the people of Iran that the revolutionary guards, the besieged, the clerics, they're not 10 feet tall, they're vulnerable.
You can stand up to them.
And that's why the courage you see in the streets of Iran didn't just happen overnight.
There's a history of defiance and resistance by the MEK and those who paid the price.
That now you can see that in the streets of Iran, you know, all over the country.
Now, one of the there are two ways that the regime is looking to end the uprising.
Number one is to suppress the crowd, the protests in a very calculated way.
Sorry.
And second, try to derail it.
And the way to derail it is to make it as though it's about returning back to the Shah's dictatorship.
They have their own guards, the revolutionary guards, the plainclothes, who anytime there is a slogan in different parts of the country, death to Khamenei, suddenly you see a few plaincloth people chanting chanting like long live Reza Shah,
which is a grandfather, the father of the deposed Shah, just derailing everything and trying to create division and confusion as though this is about the past.
This is the way to keep the regime in power.
But people of Iran are so educated, they're so alert, they're not going to be beguiled by that.
They're hoping that maybe outside of Iran, some, you know, some people may take the bait and say, oh, well, you know, maybe it's better to, you know, to go backwards instead of going forward.
But that era is over, as you said, Bayer.
I believe so.
I mean, he was making some progress about six or seven months ago, the little ne'er do well.
But I think it's been pretty much shown, particularly his cooperation with the Revolutionary Guard, which really should put him in prison.
I mean, he's been working with them.
There are recordings of him talking to them.
I'm going to ask you this question, even though this sounds far-fetched, Ali Reza.
Is it possible that the Revolutionary Guard would turn things over to him and use him as a puppet?
Well, certainly the Revolutionary Guards are fully dedicated to the Supreme Leader.
That's if they thought the Supreme Leader had a go, right?
Yeah, but what would they replace him with?
Well, you know, of course, so long as this theocracy exists, you're going to have a Supreme Leader no matter who.
But the problem is that the theocracy itself is on the way down.
No one cares about them.
No one pays attention to them.
No one participates in the election.
There's shouts of death to the Velayat Fari system, which is a theocracy, death to the dictator, death to Khwa Khameni.
This is the sentiment of the population.
Now, what the revolutionary guards and the mullahs are doing, they're looking for useful idiots that for people.
Well, he sure qualifies in that regard.
That's certainly the reason that they reach out to him.
He reaches out to them.
Sham is in touch with the commanders of revolutionary guards.
Like, you're going to bring about change by going through the people who actually kill people.
They're a designated terrorist entity.
It's not going to happen.
This is the same mentality that a couple decades ago, they said, oh, there are some moderate elements within Iran.
They're like Khatami and others.
Let's reach out to them to transition to a change from within the regime.
Now this guy is talking about collaborating with revolutionary guards.
And that's why not only no one takes it seriously, but it's very dangerous because it helps keeping the regime in power.
What you want to do, you want to keep all the focus on change, on those who are fighting the regime.
You want to keep all the focus on confronting the revolutionary guards, not cutting a deal and building relationship, not legitimizing revolutionary guards, not legitimizing the regime.
It's a mirage to think that somehow, you know, overnight, something is just going to transition by itself.
This regime must be overthrown, period.
Yep, yep.
Well, let's see.
Let's see.
You keep in touch with me, all right, Ali Reza?
Thank you.
I had a very good talk with with Madam Rajavi and Farzeen yesterday, encouraging them because who knows, they may be put in action very, very quickly.
And Madam Madam Rajavi is the leader of explain, explain, explain to people for a moment what's in place that could make this a very peaceful and helpful transition.
Well, you know, Mrs. Rajavi, you mentioned her name.
She leads the, as the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, which is the parliament in exile that has, you know, different organizations, political personalities who are all united on ending the rule of the clerics in its entirety.
And the one important member within the NCRI is actually the MEK that has a network inside Iran that expose these nuclear sites, but they also, you know, act as the engine for change during the protests.
And they paid a huge price.
Just in the summer of 1988, 30,000 political prisoners, most of them belonging to the MEK, were executed by the Iranian regime under the religious fatwa order by the then Supreme Leader Khomeini.
Now, Mrs. Rajavi has introduced a 10-point platform for the future of Iran based on separation of religion and state, ballot boxes being the only criteria for legitimacy, freedom of religion, freedom of political parties, freedom of the press, free market economy, equality for men and women, peace in the Middle East, and a non-nuclear republic form of a government.
That 10-point platform not only has the, you know, it corroborates with the aspirations of the Iranian people, but has the support of some 4,000 parliamentarians cross-party all over the world, including a House majority and many in the US Senate from both sides of the aisle.
But also she has introduced a transitional plan, a roadmap to transition.
Once the molas are overthrown, it's not going to be chaos because the molas are frightening others.
Oh, if we go, there's going to be chaos.
There's not going to be chaos because she has committed, the NCR has committed to free and fair elections within six months after the fall of the Ayatollahs.
That would lead to the formation of a national and constituent assembly.
And that assembly will determine the future of Iran by drafting a constitution, putting it to vote, determine the future form of the government.
And in this period, Mrs. Raja will oversee the peaceful transition, making sure that the power is actually transferred to the true representatives of the people of Iran.
Mrs. Rajmi has said repeatedly that we are not fighting this regime to replace it ourselves or even share power.
Instead, we are fighting the regime to make sure that people have the right to choose their own representatives.
Having worked with you now, how long?
15 years?
I can tell you.
Tell me more.
That's absolutely true.
Ali Reza, could I ask you to do a teeny favor for me?
Absolutely, Bayer.
Could you put together just a list of over the years, last 10, 15 years, the bipartisan support that you've had in the United States?
Absolutely.
In other words, Democratic senators, governors, Republican senators, governors, mayors, Attorney General McKay, Louis Free.
I mean, you name it.
There is a very long list of them, Mayor.
Yeah, and you know, you're about the only chance I was getting for a while to talk to Democrats.
Yes, definitely.
I know this issue is very bipartisan because it's not about partisanship.
Governor Richardson, you know, who's now passed, but he was so active with you and Joe Lieberman was the same.
Pardon me?
God bless him.
Senator Joe Lieberman.
Oh my great.
Joe is like a saint.
Yeah.
Joe and his wife.
I mean, they were just it's a labor of for Americans, it's a labor of love because we're fighting for freedom, for a country that has been deprived of freedom and a country that could be, could turn around the entire Middle East.
You know, I tell people without any hesitation, I don't believe you're going to get peace in the Middle East as long as the regime of terror is around.
They're going to do everything they can, no matter what we accomplish.
They're going to try to find a way to disrupt it the way they did before.
Because it's peace in the Middle East is totally destructive for them.
It's the same thing as being taken out of power.
So if we were to take him out of power, I can see these Abraham Accords and everything else just going forward pretty quickly.
Absolutely, Bayer.
You're absolutely correct.
You know, the head of the snake of war and terror lies in Tehran.
So does the solution.
Look at the example of the past four or five decades.
Nothing has worked in the Middle East.
Why?
Because the Iranian regime has built its strategy for survival on terrorism, on development of nuclear weapons, missile program, drone program.
They spend much of the money and resources on this.
That's why a country like Iran, which has the second largest oil and gas reserves combined in the world, has 80% of its population living below the poverty line.
That explains why.
That could end very, very quickly.
Well, Hallie Ray, we're going to stay in close touch over the weekend.
I may want to do like a more lengthy podcast that we can put out, giving a little history of this to people.
I think it's really important they understand.
I think they understand who the National Council is, who the MEK is.
They've undergone tremendous, tremendous sacrifices.
How many?
30,000 in that one year alone.
But since I've been with you thousands and thousands, I mean, I remember when we were fighting to remove people from Iraq, and the delay alone cost us maybe 100 people or so.
It really weighed on my conscience tremendously.
Every day, it was like all of a sudden you'd get a call and six people were killed by Solomon.
Salome did a lot of that.
Absolutely.
Astron Soleimani, the head of the terror master who headed the OS force of revolutionary guards, was behind all the attacks in Iraq against the MEK members.
And they got him down.
They got him down from Ashraf to the capital.
Yes, exactly.
Supposedly to be safer.
And then they were picking them off in the capital like they were in a shooting gallery, right?
They would come in and they'd pick off three or four people.
And then they'd pick off another three or four people and another three.
And they were trying to turn, they were trying to, they were torturing people, trying to turn people, trying to get them to rat out, you know.
Absolutely.
They did all of that.
In addition, they were firing missiles.
You know, these were defenseless people who were internationally protected people under the Force Geneva Convention.
Yet, Austin Soleimani, with their proxies in Iraq, were targeting them.
And, you know, this movement has gone through unbelievable things.
And the mere fact that they have survived is like a miracle.
But not only that, they managed to move through all of that, build a tremendous coalition outside of Iran, a tremendous network inside the country, a clear agenda for the future of Iran, build international coalition in support of it, and having these resistance units on the ground to act as the engine for change.
When you see these protests happening in Iran with very young people, they don't just happen by itself.
These are all happening because over decades a price has been paid and a culture of resistance was created.
You mentioned those who have fallen for freedom, Mayor.
I have this booklet here, the list of those who've been executed by the Iran regime, some 20,000 of people, their names and particulars.
You gave me a copy of that.
I have it in that room right now.
Right.
So that's a big price that has been paid.
And definitely we'll see freedom soon.
You know, just yesterday, how do you pronounce his name?
Pazesian?
Pezestian, yes.
Pazhineshan, who's a Pazian had a had a rally or a gathering to remember Soleimani and to glorify him.
I mean, the guy was a guy who was a cold-blooded murderer.
He murdered many, many of the MEK people.
He murdered a lot of Americans.
I mean, he was the main force in Iraq that was killing American soldiers.
That's why, Mayor, anyone who is part of this regime, including its president or anyone who is associated with them, they're parliamentarians, commanders of revolutionary government.
It froze up there.
Must be one of those Iranian satellites got involved.
They're not going to be around very long.
But we're going to have, first of all, we'll have our friend back next week, but we're also going to do a podcast with him and go into the background here.
People, what people need to know is how this transition can be different than many of the others, because what's on the other side of the rainbow has been thought about and planned and worked out.
And the relationships not only with America, but with the civilized European governments are all very, very strong.
I mean, I can't describe to you how impressive their gatherings were in Paris when they'd get 100,000 people and 200 or 300 parliamentarians, former prime ministers of France and England and Germany and Speaker of the Newt Gingrich and people on the Democratic side.
I mean, they have tremendous support both in the United States Congress, both sides, and in the European Union, all sides, except of course, the ones who do business with Iran and double-crossed them.
There you're looking at the protests.
That is extremely impressive.
What's impressive about it is how it spread into so much of the country.
That's the part of it when I saw it, when I saw it was beyond just Tehran.
And I saw the reasons for it, meaning inability to buy food, inability to pay for energy, inability to work, inability to fund your education.
We're not talking about esoteric things for us, Ted and me and Ali Reza and probably most of you that are listening, because you're extremely interested in obviously in politics.
There's a whole political theory involved in this and religion also.
But for many people, there isn't.
They just live their lives and their lives are being horribly handled.
And they get to point anywhere when it gets so horrible that people who are capable rise up.
They're capable people.
This is not Somalia.
This isn't even Iraq.
This is a much better educated, very solid country handled right, which is why if it weren't for all the deterioration that we've been able to apply, both President Trump and Bibi Netanyahu and others, this was a very threatening regime.
I mean, two years ago, they were hegemon.
They were a growing empire in the northern Middle East with countries under their control.
Thanks to the unbelievable work of B.B. Netanyahu and Donald Trump and the secretary of state, uh Rubio, and secretary of defend Hexit, and and certainly with no help from um, from from Biden, they've been taken apart and it's just a matter of pushing them over.
There you are Ali Reza.
Well uh, I think uh, the new, the new year, maybe we'll finally get to do what i've probably said about 12 or 15 times at our gatherings, which is to the people, to the people that we broadcast to in Iran, that I want to come and visit them in Tehran.
I can't wait.
For sure.
We can't wait, Mayor.
Very much looking forward.
I really do think the president's statement was enormously important, thinking back as I can to communism and Ronald Reagan and the push that Ronald Reagan gave to the Polish to overthrow them.
Sometimes that's what's needed.
And this was more than just a push.
This was something he's very reluctant to do.
Intervene.
And he basically said, you start killing people.
We're going to intervene.
Well, thank you, Ali Reza.
We'll be in touch very, very soon over the weekend, okay?
Thank you so much.
Always a pleasure.
And be safe.
Be careful, my friend.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Happy New Year again.
Happy New Year to you, everyone.
Thank you.
All right.
That man is a true, true patriot whose life has been put on the line more than once for his country.
When you put your life on your line for your country, there's something special about you.
There's something special about him and the people that I've worked with.
True freedom fighters.
And I can't possibly tell you how positive I am of this from 15 years of work with them.
And I could bring on 100 people that would tell you the same thing, who probably half of whom disagree with me on everything.
So I think the main things to sum up here are these protests are growing.
What they're doing is not helping.
So far, 44 people, seven people have been killed.
Now, that's the official number.
Seven people have been killed and 44 have been arrested.
Don't believe it.
It's got to be more than that.
The cost of living is beyond outrageous.
The Iranian real dropped to 1.42 million against the US dollar, a 50% drop in value in six months.
That means half.
The value of the Riyal was cut in half in six months.
This is what happens when you really apply the sanctions.
It's the same thing that happened in 2017 when Trump came into office.
You know, I mean, he really the plummeting currency has driven inflation with food prices soaring by an average of 72 percent compared with last year.
You know where I'm getting these statistics?
Yeah, they're not trumped up.
This is from Al Jazeera.
I got these from Al Jazeera.
I wanted to see, you know, what's the best case they're going to make?
Al Jazeera is writing about them.
Like, nice to know you.
Who are we going to work with next?
On Thursday, Iran, Farr's news agency reported that three people had died in confrontations with security forces.
That means they were killed by the Revolutionary Guard.
A further three deaths were reported in ASNA and in Kutash, which is right in the center of Iran.
These are not big cities.
Some protesters started throwing stones at city administrative buildings, including the governor's office, the mosque, the Martyrs Foundation, the town hall, and the banks.
Police responded with tear gas.
Pizzas CM doesn't know what to do.
He's holding back from an outright crackdown.
The president has basically now told them, you do a crackdown, you may get American military intervention.
Or we could use the Israelis.
Not that they wouldn't be very anxious to do it.
They may do it anyway.
They appointed a new governor of the central bank on Wednesday.
Maybe they want, what's his name?
Let me try his pronunciation.
Abdul Nasser Hamadi.
And he's going to restore credibility.
As I said, on Thursday, they held the ceremony for Solomoni.
That's going to really impress Trump a lot, knowing how many Americans Palomey killed.
Now, it is true they've had mass demonstrations before.
We talked about 2018.
Those were very, very big.
But then in 2022, you remember when Masha Amini was killed because she had a little hair sticking out over here.
That one spread across the entire country.
And the United Nations, which favors them, actually found that they had committed crimes against humanity, about which they did nothing, of course, in trying to restore order.
And the general sense of Al Jazeera is that these protests are going to expand.
And Trump and Nambibi have just had a very, very long conversation about resuming strikes on Iran if Iran continues to taunt us with the idea of reestablishing their nuclear position.
And I don't know where that stands, but it was pretty close to being decided.
So this is a very important period of time to see what happens.
And this would be a world-changing event for freedom and democracy.
It'd be real shot, believe it or not, it'd be a real shot in the head to Russia and China as well.
We talked about the FBI disrupting the attack in North Carolina.
This is an American who was radicalized by ISIS online to the point where he's getting knives and other devices, and he had planned a whole attack in retaliation for listen to this in retaliation for our retaliation against Isis for killing the two American National Guard guards.
Uh people uh, his name is Sturdivant.
I don't know what he's all about.
He's he was.
He's 21 years old in um, the FBI in Charlotte received information that Sturdivant was making multiple social media posts in support of Isis.
Uh, in early december 2025, he posted an image depicting two miniature figurines of Jesus with the on-screen text that read, may Allah curse the cross worshipers.
The post is allegedly consistent with Isis calling for the extermination of all non-believers, which is, of course, what I think.
Uh uh, uh.
If you get my podcast this weekend, you'll see it's just repeating what's in the, what's in the um, the Quran, what's in the Quran.
This is not some, you know, somebody made this up.
This is all in in here, all in the Quran, all taught to them by Muhammad, all taught to them and all contained in the book that uh Mandani used to swear in as mayor of New York, which should make his mayoralty invalid.
It should.
I mean you, you got to take a look at what's in that book.
Uh, bishop Baron who is a great man, by the way uh had some very very, um brilliant remarks about Mandami.
Now bishop, bishop Baron is a Roman Catholic uh uh uh, bishop uh, but he's also the leader, the leader of a of a very, very uh fast-growing uh group.
Uh, it's mostly uh Catholic, but it's Christian and and and uh, Jewish as well of uh people, people.
I mean let's, let's face it, what they're trying to do is bring go back into America and uh, the bishop the bishop was the bishop was outraged at one comment that he made.
Now I I, I was outraged by this too, but I can't get my.
I can't get my uh, I can't get my mind off the Quran.
Uh, maybe because i've one of the few people that's really read it quite a bit, going back to when I was a kid, and I know what it really says.
And I I, I don't.
I just don't get this.
I do not understand how you can have a book that says you shouldn't be friends with Jews and Christians.
You should kill Jews and Christians, you should torture them before you kill them and uh, the aim has to be that everybody has to uh, adore Allah.
Uh, or we're going to kill them or put them in slavery.
Now I just summed up for you.
The Quran, that's the book that he took an oath on, and the Quran works this way.
I can sum it up that way because the Quran has a concept of abrogation.
What abrogation means is that if something is said in the earlier part of the Quran chronologically, and then later, Muhammad changes his mind.
It's what he said at the end that matters.
At the end, he was bitter, vicious and bloodthirsty with regard to Christians and and and Jews, because they rejected him, and not only that, he himself killed them, many of them.
Everything I just said to you is as true as it can be, given the fact that we're not even sure Muhammad existed.
This is not a religion.
Religions are not built on teachings that you shouldn't be friends with Christians and Jews.
Religions are not built on the idea that we have to all bow down to Allah or they're going to kill us.
And by the way, who is Allah?
Allah is one of the three or four pagan gods. that were part of the Qurash clan that Muhammad came from.
This isn't the God of the New Testament or the Old Testament or the any Testament.
It's the God of a sick man's mind.
Was he a sick man?
Yeah, what do you call a pedophile who's a mass murderer and digs graves for people?
Married a five-year-old and had sex with her at nine.
And that's just one of the many perversities that he engaged in and encouraged.
Off his perversity as what paradise could be all about.
You've got to be stupid not to see through this.
You've got to be stupid not to see through it and face up to it.
And you got to be weak as hell not to face up to it.
So what Bishop Barron concentrated on, which is also very, very important, I believe, is his comment that he's going to promote the warmth of collectivism.
The warmth of collectivism.
And the comment of the bishop was, for God's sake, spare me.
We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
The founder of Word on Fire, which is the name of his very, very successful religious group, said that Mamdani's declaration took my breath away.
He said he intended to replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
Collectivism, in its various forms, is responsible for the death of at least 100 million people in the last century.
The bishop said, for God's sake, spare me the warmth of collectivism.
Socialist and communist forms of government around the world today, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, are disastrous.
Catholic social teaching has consistently condemned socialism and has embraced the market economy, which people like Mamdani caricature as rugged individualism.
In fact, it's the economic system that is based upon the rights, freedom, and dignity of the human person.
It comes out of the humanitarianism of 17th and 18th century England.
It's the...
It's the economic form of democracy.
It's economic democracy.
It is rugged individualism.
What's that based on?
That's based on all of us working as hard as we can to fulfill our obligation as children of God.
It's preserving and protecting the genius of the work ethic.
I used to say to young people in New York who were going through the second and third generation of dependency, if I can give you the work ethic, my goodness, I've given you the most important thing I can give you.
It beats any social program any of these crazy communist-inspired assholes ever invented, including FDR, who began the destruction of the work ethic.
Now, let's look at, I cannot escape the dire scene that he presented in the underground of New York in what looks like Lex Luthor's lair in Superman.
I mean, you want to convey evil, Mamdani.
You sure did it.
You had just two people there, one of whom is one of the biggest scoundrels in New York.
I'm not talking about your wife.
I'm talking about the heavyset one on the other side.
And there you are.
I mean, what the hell are you doing below ground, you little creep?
That's not City Hall.
That's a subway station that hasn't been used in 40 or 50 years, except the film Superman, where the evil genius resided.
Look at that.
It's all dark.
You expect somebody to come down and push them on the tracks like they do every other day on the subway.
And there's the and there's the consummate fraudster doing the.
Yeah, the one who has, what, two or three prime residences in order to cheat the government out of money?
No one is.
You can't miss it.
She's the fat one.
Sure thing she is.
But no one is about it.
She is outrageous.
All I can say, and I'm asked this constantly, and I wish I could come up with a better answer.
Ted, what am I asked all the time?
How did your people, because they think of New York as my people, you are my people.
They are my people.
Right.
I'll give it up on them, but how can they do it?
I don't know.
I do not know.
I do not know how they could have voted for that.
There's nothing right about him.
Not a thing.
He's a child.
He's inexperienced.
He's never had any experience.
He's dishonest as hell.
He lies his ass off all the time.
He supports Islamic terrorism, not just Islamic, anything else.
He doesn't make any bones about it.
He supports letter and verse, all this crap in the Quran.
He's a communist.
He believes in solutions that lead inevitably to mass violence.
That's what socialism does.
It leads to violence.
It's all ended up in fire and smoke, just like Black Lives Matter riots and similar riots by his type of people.
He's going to destroy the police department.
Almost immediately, he's done away with any control over the homeless, which means they're going to die on the streets, and they're going to become more paranoid and more schizophrenic, which is what happens.
The biggest canard among left-wing bullshit artists is the homeless.
If you see a city with homeless, as I wrote many years ago, if you see a city with homeless, you got a mayor that doesn't care about people.
Well, if you see homeless people hanging around a city, then the first thing you should do is get rid of the mayor.
Homelessness can be dealt with.
They've gotten it to a point where the numbers now, I mean, when I was dealing with it, it was 20, 30,000.
They got it up to 70 or 80,000.
It'd be a challenge even for me now to deal with it.
But I swear on my father's soul that I deal with it, or I wouldn't go to sleep.
Hand on the Quran.
Governor DeSantis also wrote on X that the warmth of collectivism always requires coercion and force.
How many dead over the past 100 years due to collective ideologies, Ron ask?
He's already targeting city landlords.
He wants to put controls on how much they can charge, which just means they'll let their property deteriorate.
There are left-wing, almost communist nuts who understand how destructive rent control is.
This little jackass doesn't.
But I think he does because I don't think he cares.
His whole mission is to destroy.
That's why he's there.
That's why he's there as a sympathizer with Islamic extremism.
That's why he's there as a Jew hater.
And that's why he's there as a communist to destroy us.
He's also revoked Mayor Adams' executive order that barred city agency from disinvesting in Israel so that you can destroy the state of Israel and make sure that the Jewish people in Israel all die.
Lee Stefanik, who was running for governor, unfortunately isn't, pointed out that he's a terrorist sympathizer.
Yeah, that's exactly what the hell he is.
He's a terrorist sympathizer.
Exactly what he is.
100% what he is.
Ted, before we go, I want to, we're going to get this out over the weekend, but I want to show them.
I want to show everyone so they understand as we go into the weekend how serious, how serious this is.
And what I mean by that is how serious this Muslim thing is.
You know, there's a lot of talk.
There's a lot of talk about Mamdani being a communist and this collectivism thing.
And it sure is serious.
I mean, there's no doubt about that.
But even more serious is how he is a supporter of Islamic terrorism.
And first of all, the minute you put your hand on the Quran, unless you're an ignorant, illiterate fool, you know you're swearing on a book that main purpose is to provoke violence and destruction of the Jewish people and the Christian people.
As I explained in the podcast that I want you to get, because it's really important, because I need your help and you'll see what I mean by that.
We've got to join up and we've got to get the American people to face what the Muslim religion really is.
We've got to get the Muslims who say, oh, we're good people.
We're just like you.
We believe in peace.
We believe in love.
We believe in turning the other church.
We believe in all that.
Well, okay, so now believe in it and condemn all those people who don't, who are part of your part of your religion and act in the name of your religion.
When they kill us, they say, Allah Akbar, in the name of their God.
Well, I'm tired of getting killed in the name of Allah or having my citizen, fellow citizens get killed in the name of Allah.
And I'm tired of being threatened by you bastards in trying to kill me.
And now, that's the very beginning.
I'm sorry.
You got to understand about this about this huckster thing here.
This thing is written in reverse order.
The Quran, largest chapter first.
You can't figure out what the hell the rules are.
Because here's the way it works.
Muhammad, who either was possessed by the devil or an epileptic, who used to go on the ground and have big seizures and screwed a nine-year-old girl because he's a miserable perverted pedophile, if he existed.
Imagine if he didn't exist creating somebody like that.
What do you want to create?
A monster?
So Muhammad, when he, when this thing was dictated to him by Gabriel, haha.
And he was, and he was supposed to write it down.
Here's the problem.
He was illiterate.
How is he going to?
What'd you say, Ted?
How is he going to write it down?
I don't know.
I mean, they have tablets now, AI tablets like Remarkable and iPad and Grock.
Yeah, I mean, I guess he could have put it, he could have, he could have had it.
Oh, I have one of those I love that I use.
I put it on for the press conference.
Yeah, I put it on for press conferences and it summarizes the press conference.
I don't think they had those back in 610.
What do you think, Ted?
I think Gabriel started talking to him till he was 40.
So he was born in 570.
So that had been 610.
Gabriel started talking to him or he started going nuts.
Which you want to pick?
The people who grew up with him, the Qurash, who were his family, and people in Mecca, bet on the fact he was crazy when he started saying, Gabriel, talk to me.
All these other people who have been dying for centuries bet on the fact that he's telling the truth.
And they've been killing people and getting killed for centuries.
It's been one war after another, after another, after another.
As soon as he left Mecca, he started to go to war.
One war after another after another.
They killed thousands of people, thousands and thousands of people.
Executed them when they came into a village, put them in mass graves.
And now you want to see it in black and white.
Quran 2, 216.
It says Quran 2, so you would think it's right at the beginning of the Quran.
This actually chronologically comes maybe two years before he died because he got a reverse.
A lot of scholarship was involved by Islamics in reversing it.
So you can get it in chronological order.
Because at the beginning, he says how nice, not how nice, but how we can accept Jews and Christians.
By the end, he wants to kill them.
So which is it?
So they have a doctrine called abrogation.
The latter abrogates the former.
In other words, the latter prevails.
So if it says, be nice to the Jews, or it says, kill all the Jews, 10 years later, you kill all the Jews.
Now, you can't tell that from this tricky Quran, which is supposed to be a holy book.
Ha and millions of people dead as a result of the ha ha ha.
There's no holy book.
You can't tell from this book absolutely what the rules are, unless you know how to interpret it.
So put it back in alphabet, put it back in chronological order, and what you get is, just before he dies, he tells his people, fighting is prescribed for you and ye dislike it.
But it's possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you love a thing which is bad for you, which is not fighting.
But Allah knoweth and ye know not.
So it's better for you to fight, even if you don't want to, because Allah knows best.
The pagan God from the Qurash knows best, whose messenger is only one person, more important than Moses, more important than Jesus, more important than Abraham, this epileptic or nut from Mecca.
This is the religious leader's advice to his people about the people they're converting.
But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them whenever ye find them.
And in any case, take no friends or helpers from their ranks.
So watch them carefully after you converted them.
And if they switch on you, kill them right away.
This is a religion.
That's in the book he swore on.
That's in the book chapter 4, verse 89.
I'm just picking a few out here.
How about chapter 8, verse 39?
And fight with them until there is no more.
And religion is all for Allah.
There you see it.
Quran 8, 3, 9.
And fight with them until there is no more fitna, disorder, unbelief.
and religion is all for Allah.
So what's the goal?
We all live under Allah.
Again, derivation of Allah, pagan Qurash God.
One of many.
Just the one with the best name, I guess.
Quran 9:5.
Now, all of these quotations in the Quran come in the latter part of Muhammad's life in what is known as the Medina or Medina period.
The Mecca period is the more peaceful.
He gets almost killed and gets kicked out of Mecca by his own people who believe he is a liar, a nut, a troublemaker.
And they actually either are right, possessed by the devil, or he has a form of epilepsy, a serious form of epilepsy, because he's constantly foaming from the mouth.
You pick.
This is a Quran 9, 5.
This is about five years before he died.
So when the sacred months have passed away, that means, you know, you know how we always have to worry about getting killed before or after Ramadan?
This is the reason.
You want the reason?
This is the reason.
So when the sacred months have passed away, when Ramadan is over, what happens after Ramadan is over?
Don't we get warnings that they're going to be attacks and there are attacks?
And yeah, like you get warnings after, as soon as Easter is over, the Christians are going to come out and kill you.
Or as soon as the high holy days are over, those Jews are just going to wipe you out.
Because they're religions.
Here's what happens with Muslims.
So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them.
And take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor rate, we feel way free for them.
So he he, he went from uh this uh, this uh, screwed up confused uh, epileptic or seizure ridden uh guy who claims that Gabriel took him on some form of uh sixth century helicopter to Paradise uh, and then came back and started telling people he went to Paradise and they looked at him and said hey, you're effing crazy, get the hell out of here.
I'm going to give up my Christian religion for you, or i'm going to give up my Jewish religion for you, or i'm going to give up my Pagan religion for you.
you're effing nut nobody took you to paradise somebody took you to hell so he's slay the idolaters take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them but make sure they pay but we'll let them go if they pay us money
lucky luciano something i'm not a gangster of course it was a gangster what what do you think the ayatollah is what do you think the mullahs are you really think they're religious leaders you think religious leaders kill thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of their own people
you don't think they're wealthy as hell you don't think that's why the country's starving when it's got more oil than god ever expected anybody to have now here fight those who believe not in allah Is there any place where Jesus says, fight those who don't believe in me or don't believe in the last day?
I don't know.
I don't remember seeing that in the New Testament, nor hold that forbidden, which has been forbidden by Allah and his messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of truth, even if they are people of the book.
Now that's us and that's the Jews.
Fight, fight us until they pay the Jizza with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.
Uh.
Strangest thing about black Muslims, how the hell they became Muslims.
I can't figure it out.
The single biggest purveyor of black slavery are Muslims, the people who took the most slaves from Africa by an enormous amount compared to Europeans.
Muslims, the ones who held on to slavery longest, including now Muslims.
it's the last religion black people should join quran 9 30 and the jews say ezra is the son of all They do.
I don't think Jews believe in Allah and the Christians say the Messiah is the son of Allah.
We sure as hell don't say that.
These are the words of their mouths.
They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before, may Allah destroy them.
How they are turned away.
May Allah destroy them.
That's the book on which Mandami took the oath of office for the former position that I held, for which I was so honored.
Christians say the Messiah is the Son of Allah.
Sick bastard.
Remember in Chicago, it happened when I was mayor, right before they put fichies on the Blessed Mother.
They did a painting, a disrespectful painting of Muhammad.
They had to take it down in Chicago had it.
And then I took down the one about Mary, and the New York Times went crazy.
Bizarre.
I mean, Mary was the son of God, was the mother of God.
And if you don't believe in my religion, there's nothing about Mary where she ever heard anybody heard a fly.
If you believe the story as just a story, her son was killed.
If you don't believe the story, well, she still was just portrayed as a beautiful woman, good mother, good woman.
And they put cow fiches on her.
And I say, but we're not going to use public money to support that.
You want to pay for it?
Pay for it privately.
Perfectly reasonable position.
New York Times goes nuts.
The courts go nuts.
The liberals go nuts.
And I go, screw you.
Meanwhile, in Chicago, they just have like a picture of Muhammad.
I don't know what.
I mean, I got a great picture of Muhammad.
I got to go find it somewhere.
It's a painting that was done probably in Spain where he lines up the Quran.
I've forgotten which of the communities, the Jewish communities, but he lines up 10 of them, has them dig their own grave and kills them.
Sort of like predicting Hitler and the mass grave.
That's what the Jew hater did.
When we have more time, I'll explain to you about honor killings and how Muhammad instructed Moses on how you can kill a kid if you think the kid is not going to obey Allah and therefore disgrace his family so that the family can then conceive a better kid.
Plus, you have to kill your daughter if she gets pregnant out of wedlock.
And by the way, Muhammad brought stoning back.
The Jews had done away with stoning for about 400 years.
And when the Jews had their own situation and Muhammad was in that position where he was like playing both sides against the middle, they were having a big debate about whether they should restore stoning.
He encouraged them to do it and to kill the girl, which they did.
He also ordered stoning on a number of occasions for adultery, for rape.
It means victim and for homosexuality.
And he, In the earlier part of the Quran, they have suggestions of other punishments for adultery, like a thousand lashes.
And he deliberately uses abrogation to make stoning the punishment for homosexuality and for what he regards as adultery, which he committed all the time.
he was constantly committing adultery uh by the way and they also sanctioned torture and we've got quote quotes about that and holy war
Don't be a little wussy and cry for peace.
Yeah, There are four Hadith about virgins that will be provided to you if you kill for Allah.
There are four Hadiths that say that, and there's support for that in the Quran, although not as clear as that.
If you kill for him, he will forgive you your sins and admit you into the gardens under which rivers flow and pleasant dwelling in gardens of eternity.
Sort of like one of his last messages was, and kill them wherever you find them and turn them out from where they have turned you out.
He's talking about the unbelievers, particularly the Christians and the Jews.
Worship is for Allah alone.
I don't know.
Get the podcast, read it.
I mean, listen to it if you want.
You can get a book like this, original Quran.
If you have a Quran, I don't know.
I have a couple of suggestions of what you can do with it, but I sure wouldn't do it.
I sure wouldn't use it to be sworn in to a position of honor and integrity in a great country like ours.
All it does is soil us.
We're going to have a lot to say about this because we're going to try to encourage you to join us to save Western civilization.
We have a lot of ideas about how to do that, but it begins with the fact that they want to destroy us.
That's what their aim is.
Combination of the Islamics and the communists.
And here's the problem with all the good Islam.
First of all, I'm not going to fall into the religion of peace.
It is not.
It's a religion of war and violence.
That's its major message.
That's the message that emerges from this non-holy book, from the satanic book.
But there are a lot of good people who are Muslim.
And there are a lot of people who would never do any of these things.
But there are very, very few who have the courage to speak out against it.
And until they do, we're going to be burdened with this, and our children are.
And our civilization and our survival will be in doubt.
And I'm tired of it.
It's been too long.
And it's time we fight back.
And we finally have a president who's willing to do it.
What he said tonight about Iran, last night about Iran, is God bless him.
God bless them.
Well, we always end up by praying, don't we?
And we're going to pray, of course, for the people of Iran.
We talked a lot about them tonight in different ways.
We're going to pray for them.
We're going to pray for the people of Ukraine, who we didn't get a chance to talk much about, but we will.
And, of course, the people of Israel, who along with us, are victims of this outrage.
We'll pay for all the Christians who are under persecution and are being killed in large numbers by Muslims in various parts of the world, particularly Africa.
We're going to pray for us Americans that we have the strength to fight for what God gave us and preserve it and expand it and share it with others.
And we're going to pray for our president, that you continue to give him the strength and the health and the moral courage to do the wonderful things that he's doing because it comes from you, God.
I mean, you saved his life after all.
So we'll be back.
We'll be back on Monday.
We'll be back on 8 o'clock on X.
And we'll be back at 7 o'clock again on Lindell TV that will return from the holidays.
And Dr. Maria will be back also.
And we'll see what happens over the weekend.
At some point this weekend, we're probably going to post our podcast.
And I really urge you to get this one.
You just hit subscribe on X, correct?
Hit that subscribe.
It's a small charge.
I don't know, less than whatever you pay for your newspaper.
And there can be plenty more.
We intend to use that as our way of educating you about the underlying things that are going on that we have to turn around and that we have to do while we have the president that we have.
So let's start with taking on this Muslim thing, huh?
God bless America and happy 2026.
Let's pray that this is the year of deliverance.
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 Paine 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.
