America's Mayor Live (838): Woman in Minneapolis Shot & Killed by ICE Agent After Car-Ramming Attack

Time Text
America's mayor live.
Well, things are very lively and in some cases tragic, in some cases extremely hopeful.
But let's get started with the let's get started with the tragedy you knew was going to happen, which is that if you conduct a state and a city as if it is separate from the United States, there will come a time in which deaths will occur and destruction.
The United States Constitution is about as clear as it can be.
We have a federal government with 50 states.
There are states' rights, but there are also federal rights, and they play off against each other to protect our freedom.
In fact, many constitutional scholars believe that the separation of power between the federal government and the states and then the separation of power between the three branches of government is more of a guarantee of our freedom than the Bill of Rights.
And at some point, we can address that.
That was a favorite topic of Justice Antonine Scalia.
But the simple fact is that there is no doubt in the world, except among lying communist scum, that the power to control immigration is given to the federal government.
Just like it's quite clear that the major player in education is local government.
And then we go on and on and on, and we can pick some that are very clear, like that, or we can pick some that are more ambiguous, like transportation, where you have internal transportation within a city or a state, but then you have a national highway system so that at least in many cases, what happens on a New York road can affect what happens in New Jersey or Connecticut or somewhere else.
So there you have a much more difficult dichotomy and more difficult choice of does one prevail over the other or do they share power?
When the federal government has the primary role, as it does, let's say in immigration or foreign policy or conducting war, the doctrine of preemption applies.
Now, I know you don't hear this very often because Democrats don't want you to hear this, and we don't speak up enough, Republicans.
Preemption is about as old as the Republic.
And it's the reason we're a national government.
It means where federal law applies its supreme, just like the Constitution is.
And it binds every local official as well as federal official.
When I was the mayor of New York, I was not just bound by the Constitution of New York and the laws of New York and the city council and the municipal charter.
I took an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the United States as well, because I was a official under the United States government.
Now, for some reason that I have objected to since this strange expansion of what are known as sanctuary cities occurred, We've allowed this to go on, meaning a city like Minneapolis, governed by a complete blundering moron like Jacob Fry,
who is the only mayor in the history of the United States ever to give up a precinct to criminals, and a governor like Walls, Tampon Tim Walz, who unless he answers the questions I have, I will just assume is an agent of the Chinese communist government.
I'll explain all that to you in a minute.
But the two of them say that the city of Minneapolis will not enforce the federal immigration laws.
In fact, they will go so far as to interfere with the federal government's ability to enforce those laws by failing to tell them about criminals that they become aware of and criminals who are very dangerous who they can release to the streets.
Oh, the numbers are enormous that they have done.
And when the federal agents come there to enforce the immigration laws, they will not assist or help them.
Now, I don't know why they haven't been arrested.
I don't know why this wasn't confronted at the very beginning when it first started and nipped in the bud.
This is completely illegal.
It's a form of secession from the federal government.
You're saying, you know, you got this federal law or group of federal laws.
We don't agree with it, so we're not going to, we're not going to assist in enforcing it.
And we are in essence, in actuality, going to interfere in it.
Well, that came to a head today on the streets of a city that has already been brutalized by left-wing insanity and craziness and corruption.
And a state that's reeling from a never-ending corruption scandal that is now, that began at a billion dollars, then reached nine and now seems to have no limit.
And also, when you quickly take a look at what's happened to the bank accounts of these politicians, all of whom are part of what they used to call the Democratic Farmer Labor Party, which sounds more like the Communist Party to me, they all become millionaires.
I mean, this woman who apparently married her brother to help him become a citizen began with a negative net worth when she came into Congress a couple of years ago.
She's now worth 20 or 30 million.
I mean, I think that's faster than Nancy D'Alessandro did it.
And she had the benefit of, you know, having a father and uncle and who knew all of the ins and outs of Baltimore politics, which means you know all the ins and outs of going into politics with not much money and coming out worth 250 million.
So today, a shooting took place, which to me is without any doubt, 100% justified.
If I were the mayor of New York again, and we go back 20 plus years, and I was the commander-in-chief of the police department, and one of my police officers did what this ICE agent did, and they all started attacking him, I'd be the first one to defend him because he did exactly what he should do.
When an automobile is pointed at you and coming at you, and apparently with no intent to stop and to hit you, you have every right to shoot the person coming at you because the automobile is as deadly as the gun.
So it's just a few more people each year that are killed by guns than automobiles.
Like last year, about 44,000 were killed by guns and about 40,000 by automobiles.
One's just as deadly as another and you're just as dead.
So there is no question that under the law, a moving vehicle, it doesn't even have to be an SUV, a big, big, big truck-like vehicle like this one was to be a deadly weapon.
A little old-fashioned Volkswagen can be.
But this was a big, big one that could easily, if it was coming down on you, look like a truck with a clearly crazed woman behind.
Now, typical of the corrupt communist-leaning press that we have that is prevalent in the United States.
When they first put out the video of this, you had to look very carefully to see that she was heading her automobile directly at a human being.
So therefore, the fact that she was shot fleeing made it look like there really wasn't much of a reason to do that.
Although you could say, depending on what had transpired and what the officers came to conclude, they might feel that she was a danger to the rest of the public in Minneapolis if you kept driving that way.
I mean, she nearly killed the ICE agent.
So, but that wasn't the case, although they made it look that way.
It was quite clear that when she disobeyed the instruction of the federal agent, when she refused to comply with his order, which by the way is the reason that she's dead, not the ICE officer.
If she had complied, she'd be out on bail by now and probably a hero of the left.
Now, she's one of the activists involved in the protest.
Some people say she was the leader of it.
Some people say she was just very actively involved.
She was harassing.
She was interfering.
She was making it difficult for them to do their job, which is a very serious job under the Constitution of the United States.
So they were trying to get her to stop interfering and remove her car so they could move.
She refused to do it.
So they were going to place her under arrest, I assume.
So they tried, they opened the door of her car, and instead of complying, she took her car and gunned it directly, headed toward a ICE agent who didn't shoot immediately.
Ice, the first ice agent coming out of the car, and...
No!
And there's the one in front.
You see the one in front?
It's hard to see.
Now, that was hard to see.
You don't realize that that car was headed at the ICE agent who delayed briefly until the car kept coming at him.
And then he shot.
No, he shot when the car was headed toward him.
What the fuck?
Yeah, that's her.
That's the person who was killed right now, right?
Among other concerns is a mad woman like this driving in the streets of the city is quite a danger.
Well, this might be after she was shot, that last part.
Well, and then she wants to shame the guys.
But she was, I mean, she was very, very vocal before.
Ted, there are better pictures than the one, better videos than the one we showed.
But of course, this led to what have to be, without any doubt, deliberate attempts to create violent protests in the city of Minneapolis.
This is as my great old friend, dearly departed and a great American hero, including a war hero, Yogi Berra, said, this is deja vu all over again.
And it's the same team.
It's Tampon Tim, who is very favorable to Red China, from whom he received a lot of, well, we don't know if he received money or not from Red China.
He just traveled there 15, 20 times, taught there, spent a year and a half there being trained in the Harvard program that sounds like a program that's training spies, brought 50 children a year there.
Sounds like he brought them to try and try to destroy their love of America and become adherents to Karl Marx and communism and socialism, which he thinks at various times is preferable to America.
And he's expressed that.
But no one in the United States, including our fierce right wing, when he ran for president, seemed to be concerned about the fact that he was pulled out of college, taken to Red China, trained there, spent a year and a half there, was screwing a Chinese girl, jilted her, came back to America, got married, and started a business.
The business was to bring kids to China every year and teach.
Now, let's just think about that for a minute.
China is a Red China, is a communist country, one of the most dictatorial in the world.
They basically threw me out when I disagreed with their policy over Taiwan.
Now, do you think they're going to invite him back?
We're not sure if it's 15 or 30 times, but it's at least 15 times.
You think they're going to invite him back with 50 kids if he's teaching those kids the truth?
That communism is one of the most deadly ideologies in the history of the world, that China has killed more of its own people than any nation that we can think of, certainly any modern nation, and that might be approaching 100 million.
That at one point Mao wiped out about 30 million people.
You think he's teaching them that?
You think he'd be invited back if he were teaching him that?
Of course not.
So then he had two businesses setting up trips to China.
And those trips entailed Shanghai, which is a good word to use, 50 kids every year and taking them over there and clearly brainwashing them.
Because that's all China would allow you to do.
They watch everything you do in China.
When I was there, we did the old trick my security people did both times of putting tape and little objects in our in our In our luggage, and they were all just combobulated when we got home that night.
They attempted to put a woman in with me and my partner.
Hopefully, she was going to seduce one or the other of us, and we threw her out.
And then, when I objected to what he was saying, what the head of the Communist Party of Beijing was saying about Taiwan and that Taiwan should want to be part of them, and said, I can't imagine why Taiwan would want to be a part of you.
They found it hard enough overcoming dictatorial rule in Formosa and Taiwan.
Why would they want to become part of you?
So you want to get Taiwan, why don't you become a democracy and make it attractive instead of doing what you did in Hong Kong, which is double-crossing.
I didn't say it that badly.
I just said what I actually said was, why don't you just do the same thing?
Make sure you don't do the same thing you did in Hong Kong, because I'm sure that's really upsetting the people of Taiwan.
Here you promised to keep Taiwan independent and free.
And as soon as Britain left, you just came in with your jack boots and took over.
The guy originally didn't understand my translation.
So I had my translator, not his, translated as directly as possible.
And as forthright, as I just said it, he stood up, I said, it was very nice to meet you, Mayor Giuliani.
Thank you.
The meeting's over.
He looked annoyed.
When I left, my security people said, our security had been pulled.
And we were left on our own for the next two days.
Well, we were left on our own, except all the people following us.
And then when I had to go back to China for a totally different reason, to Shanghai, they didn't approve my visa until the last day.
And they required me to come down to the consulate.
And then all the people at the consulate wanted pictures with me.
Well, the Chinese people that work there.
Because in New York, now I'm really a hero.
I mean, I was a hero for quite some time in different ways, up and down, all kinds of things.
But since DeVasio and now the communist Islamic extremist loving mayor, oh my goodness.
Right, Ted?
I mean, we can't walk down the streets of Palm Beach without people saying, I'm from New York.
You got it?
Come back.
Well, in any event, what Fry and Walls did today is disgraceful.
Basically, they are using, well, the Democrats have these things like, it's not buzzwords.
What's the other expression they use?
Like words that they claim make you racist or whatever, like symbolic words, whatever.
But they did everything they could other than to say, come and burn down a couple more buildings.
I mean, how about you burn down the buildings you didn't burn down last time that Fry gave up the police station?
And what the hell is that little jackass still doing there?
I mean, did you ever hear of a mayor giving up a police station to a bunch of Antifa terrorist protesters?
And that's not going to lead to the burning down of your city, but maybe even mine.
I went crazy when it happened at the time that it happened.
I predicted then what happened all summer.
I said, this is going to, I know how to operate.
This is well organized.
And when they see they have this kind of leeway, and they can intimidate a little cowardly jackass like this.
And this is the guy that was caught on tape making believe he was eating Somalian food and looked like he was going to vomit.
Definitely one of the examples of how pathetically vapid, maybe even evil, the Democrat Party has become.
And unfortunately, the people of Minnesota are in their clutches.
You know, on top of their stealing now well in excess of 9 billion.
And where do you think that ended up?
Yeah, it's in the hands of the Somalians, but you think all those politicians let the Somalians run off with all that?
I mean, the Somalians are from the jungle, basically.
Only half of them now, having been in the United States like 20 years, can speak English.
80% of them are on welfare.
And somebody's kind of explaining the great contribution they've made.
I bet your grandfather, great-grandfather from Ireland wasn't on welfare.
I bet.
In fact, I bet he probably wouldn't go on welfare.
And I'm just picking Ireland as one example.
I could have picked France or I could have picked Italy or I could have picked Puerto Rico or I could have picked – how about the Cubans when they came here?
They worked their tails off, became enormously successful.
How about the Iranian refugees?
They all worked.
The Somalians don't work.
Well, they don't have to work.
They steal.
And please, am I speaking broadly if I tell you 70 to 80% are on welfare?
That's pathetic.
We shouldn't be bringing people in to go on welfare.
We've got enough people in the United States on welfare.
We should be taking care of.
We should be bringing in people that are productive.
Most importantly, nothing wrong with this.
In fact, it makes sense.
We should bring in people who express a love for America.
Their leading voice hates America.
That's the woman who married her brother Omar.
Ilana hate America Omar.
Well, I mean, as the president said, I don't know what the hell she came here for.
But this is what's going on in Minnesota.
And yeah, play.
This is Rep Brandon Gill today interviewing the Democrat witness about the Somali community.
Tell them who Brandon Gill is.
Brandon Gill is a United States representative.
And let me get the state right.
He's a young man, too.
That's right.
He is from the great state of Texas.
So this is Brandon Gill today with some good questions here for the Democrat witness.
This is on Minnesota fraud.
For native Minnesota-headed households?
Well, to be clear, a majority of those.
It's 7%.
There's a big difference between 54% and 7%, is there not?
Excuse me, sir.
Could I answer the question?
Let me move on.
We've got a lot of questions here.
What percentage of Somali-headed households in Minnesota are on Medicaid?
I don't know.
It's 73%.
Do you know what that number is for Minnesota native households?
Again, you're using the phrase Minnesota native households, but the number is 18%.
That's quite an astounding difference.
I think we would have.
Can I answer the question, please?
Let me ask you one more and then we can go into that.
What percentage of Somali-headed households are on welfare in general?
I don't know.
It's 81%.
What about, let me just ask you, after 10 years of being in the United States, what percentage of Somali immigrant households are on, continue to be on welfare?
I don't know.
The number is 78%.
So even after 10 years, 78% of Somali immigrant households continue to be on welfare.
Do you know what that number is for native Minnesota-headed households?
Again, you're using that.
Non-Somali immigrant-headed households.
If I can just answer the question, you're using the phrase native Minnesotans.
The majority of Somali Minnesotans are as Minnesotan as any of us.
They were born in the United States.
It's only 8,000 of the 108,000 Somali.
Nevertheless, the welfare usage is astoundingly different.
Let me ask you again, does that make Minnesota stronger or weaker?
Again, I'd like the opportunity to answer the question here.
So again, the majority of Somali Minnesotans are born in the United States.
As I understand it, what percentage of working-age Somalians who have been in the U.S. for 10 years or more, 10 years or more, how many of them speak English very well?
I don't know.
About half.
The answer is about half.
seems pretty low doesn't it again I keep it doesn't sound like something that makes our country stronger to me And I think most Americans would agree with me on that.
They need to move on.
If you want to learn how to cross-examine that guy is great.
And the point is overwhelming.
But here's the slap in the face to this country.
I mean, if they come here, not only are we supporting them, but they're stealing from us.
And it isn't one or two.
It's a large, large percentage.
It appears as if there are more, you know, pretty close to 80%, 8 out of 10, that are free loaders.
And after a long time being here.
Now, all that does is emphasize the fact that we're not going to keep moving forward as a great nation if we keep absorbing people who are takers and not givers.
We didn't need the majority of people that come in are contributors.
And then that will help us take care of the ones that need to be taken care of.
But you can't construct a productive society on people that don't work unless you head it to communism, which is what they are.
Ellison from the beginning has been a communist.
And outrageously, he took his oath of office also on the Koran, which tells people to kill Christians and Jews.
Muhammad does.
I am not making that up.
Of course, I spent a great deal of time, I think, reading that to you last week, and it's on my podcast.
So you want to go read it, read it.
You want to dispute it with me?
I don't know.
You go yell in a backyard somewhere because it's just not true.
So here we have a city that is consumed with two of the greatest evils, horrors of the modern world, which is communism and any kind of common sense reading of the Quran.
I say common sense because it's there.
It's not common sense to kill people, but it is a common sense reading when Muhammad tells you that you should kill Christians and Jews.
Oh, unless you can get them to give you money and get down and submit.
That's okay.
Mostly.
Still, the preference is to kill them.
So that's what's going on in Minneapolis, and it's breaking out like the pandemic.
I mean, they're getting hit on all fronts.
And I don't know.
I don't know what you expect our federal agents to do.
What do you expect a guy to do when they're in the middle of a law enforcement operation?
This woman is obstructing it.
It's their duty to arrest people who come into this country illegally.
Now, you may not like that.
They may not like that.
But that's the law.
So change it.
But don't go give some guy a hard time who's got a family and is a decent person and is a lot better American than you are.
Don't give him a hard time for doing his job.
Or drive a big giant tank at him.
And then you get a mayor who should have been put in jail a long time ago for what he did.
Yeah, how did that guy get re-elected?
I think he got re-elected against, it was very close.
He got re-elected against a Mamdani type.
A Mamdani who theoretically was worse than him.
Right.
Which is why he snuck by with re-election.
Very, very close.
I never thought he'd.
They may have cheated.
Who knows?
I mean, they cheat like hell there.
And I didn't know you as obviously.
It's a really crooked, enormously crooked political party, as you can see.
But I remember even back in 2020, Mayor, seeing that guy, Mayor Frey.
I used to call him the boy mayor, the baby mayor.
Just seeing him.
Even then.
Before.
I mean, he was a jackass before he did that.
Right.
But I couldn't believe this guy.
Anyway, it's.
I mean, I would, I would, up until then, I would say I couldn't understand how the people in Minneapolis voted for him until people in New York voted for the communist Islamic extremist loving Mandami.
Right.
Well, you know, the stuff going on in Iran is very, very, very important.
And it's considerably more advanced than Western media likes to portray.
For some reason, Western media is like a Democratic Party.
They like criminals, they like communists, and they like terrorists.
And they seem to really always favor the Ayatollah.
So you don't find out until, you're not going to find out until it's over if the guy's been deposed.
And the reality is protests are going on all over Iran.
But last night, I watched my friend Hannity interview the son of the former Shah of Iran.
And I was kind of shocked that Sean did that without pointing out that the father was a brutal dictator.
He had a secret police called the SAVAC that tortured and killed many, many Iranians.
Iran had actually arrived at a democratic government in the 50s and a corrupt cabal of American and mostly British interests using the CIA overthrew them because they wanted to control the oil.
They overthrew the democracy and brought the frightened little Shah back.
That's his old man.
This is like gene pool reduction each generation.
The original Shah was kind of a really tough old bastard.
The next one was like a, couldn't make up his mind a lot, but he sure knew how to kill people.
And the Savak knew how to do it in his name.
And the son has basically, you know, just lived off all the stolen money from Iran, not done a damn thing.
And I've been involved in the effort to overthrow the Ayatollah for 15 years.
I haven't seen him around.
And I have on Ali Reza Jeff Siddari, who's been involved his whole life in this effort.
And I really have him on, not just to tell us the progress that's being made, but tell us about how dangerous it would be if uh, somehow the the, the little baby shot, got involved.
The Nepo, the Nepo shop.
Nepo baby.
Nepo baby, yeah.
How are you?
Great seeing you, Mayor.
Uh, thank you so much uh, for inviting me on your show.
Um, As you said, there's a lot happening in Iran.
Today is the 11th day of the protest going on, and the regime has done everything to put down the revolt.
They have been unsuccessful so far.
And things don't just happen by themselves.
There are people who are fighting on the ground to make sure the dynamism and the momentum of the protests are continuing.
You know, you mentioned the main Iranian opposition, the Mujadi MEK, who have an extensive network of support, but also they have what they call the resistance units.
These are mostly young people who are committed to confronting revolutionary guards.
And they're organized in various cities in the country.
And just in the past two days, there were a lot of fighting back and forth between these resistance units and the revolutionary guards.
Just in the city of Lordegan, which is in Charmah al-Bakhtiari province, which is south, central south of Iran, a lot of clashes going on.
The role of these resistance units were crucial in continuing the momentum and pushing back the revolutionary guards.
Eight of them actually were killed by the regime.
And the same situation exists.
When did that was yesterday and tonight?
Yes, two days, big fighting.
This is an addition to the ones that were killed earlier.
Exactly.
And also today in Mashhad, which is the second most populated city in Iran, that's my hometown.
I know a lot of the areas that we have direct report that there were clashes between the people backed by these resistance units of the MEK confronting revolutionary guards.
To the best of my knowledge, one or two members of the MEK resistance units were killed also today.
So there is a big price being paid to get the momentum going.
Things don't just happen by themselves.
And so far, at least 36 people have been killed.
The number may have been higher by the Iran regime.
But the important thing about these protests is that you now see the convergence of the business sector, the bazaar, which traditionally used to be the bedrock of support for the Ayatollahs, and then the poor, the deprived, the smaller town and towns and cities, as well as the universities who are all involved in these protests and continuing the momentum.
There is a history of resistance against the regime by the MEK, basically, that created this culture of defiance against the Iranian regime, teaching the younger generation and everybody else that there's only one way you can get rid of the Ayatollahs.
You stand firm to them.
Even if you have to pay the price, you confront them and you push them back and eventually you overthrow them.
Everything the regime has done over the past few decades to eliminate the MEK has totally backfired.
They have not succeeded in doing that.
So that's why I think it's so important to understand the forces for change, are so crucial to identify them and help them stand on their side and understand that.
You know, things don't just happen by themselves that suddenly the revolutionary guards decide, like one day, that they're going to abandon uh, you know, put their weapons aside and just turn over the rule.
Is there any indication of a break within the revolutionary guard?
Yes, there were.
In the places that there were confrontation and fighting.
You know, when, for instance, the MIK resistance units were involved and backing the people, they were able to push back the revolutionary guards.
In some areas, actually, they managed to push back.
For instance, in Lord Degan, I mentioned about Lord Agan because the guards and the state security forces and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards were trying to dominate and take over everything.
And then the MIK resistance units managed to unify two different tribes that are there and work them together to push back the revolutionary guards.
And they succeeded in doing that.
So my point is that, you know, anyone who wants to deviate attention from the momentum that is inside Iran is actually helping the regime.
And you mentioned the son of the Shah, you know, he, you know, he creates fake tapes of the protests in Iran and refers to them as indication for support for him.
And I just tweeted today some video clips of these fake and dub videotapes of there are like genuine protests where people are chanting death to Khamenei, death to the dictator, and then they put a voice over on it saying that they're calling for the return of Tahlabi.
And you can see, you can compare the original tape and you can see how the same scenes are repeated under different names.
Like, you know, they say this is rash, this is, you know, a farce province.
And in reality, all of them are somewhere else.
And all of them are actually fake.
So they managed to create this perception.
And why is it harmful?
Because the regime always wanted to say that these protests that are happening in Iran is about return back to the dictatorship of the Shah.
It's about replacing one dictator with the other, trying to overshadow the reality on the ground, which is for freedom.
The people are revolting against this regime because they want freedom.
They revolted against the Shah's dictatorship because he was corrupt.
He was killing intellectuals.
The Evin prison that everyone is talking about was built by the Shah.
And, you know, he declared a single party rule and saying all the other political parties who are allegiant to him anyways and dissolved them and says there is only one party.
You are either a member of my party or you go to jail.
He was so corrupt, they took over a lot of resources, land and everything in the country.
That was the foundation for the genuine nationwide revolution in Iran that overthrew the Shah.
Interestingly, Meir, the son of the Shah, when he became 20 years old, only one year after the revolution, he just rebuffed the population and the will of the people.
And he declared himself as the new king.
He went to Egypt and Washington Post had a big story about that.
So since then, he's been dreaming about becoming a king and doing nothing.
When was that, when he did that?
That was in 1980.
In 1980, he went to Egypt.
There's a big story.
I send it to Kevin.
He has it.
Now he's claiming, what, did he, he's in favor of a democracy or a constitutional monarchy?
Has he ever done anything to help overthrow the government?
I wish he was irrelevant to the protests in Iran, to the country he's an obstacle.
Has he got it?
Because anytime, you know, he tried to get to legitimize the revolutionary guards saying, oh, I'm in touch with the revolutionary guard commanders, like 50,000, 60,000 of them are in touch with me.
And they are the ones who are just by talking to them, they're going to lay their arms down.
He wants to deviate attention that when you want to bring about change, you've got to fight for it.
It just is not going to happen.
The question I'm asking is, is there any concrete contribution that he's made, like any risk that he's taken, or like you have, for example, to try to overthrow them?
There is not a single example of taking any risk whatsoever.
He has been living a luxurious life in the West.
And he even told Patrick Bet David on his show that, you know, why would he ever return back to Iran?
He would go back to what?
Because he's been grown up here and all his family is here.
He doesn't, he said in another show that I'm not going to sacrifice my freedom at all.
I'm not, you know, I want to, I want to, I want to stay safe.
I want to be protected here.
Has there ever been any concrete, verifiable attempt by the regime to kill him?
I'm not aware of any.
Has there been an attempt to kill you?
Yes, there have.
Me?
Absolutely.
But you were a target.
A lot of other people.
In at least two cases that they wanted to bomb an event in March of 2018 in Albania where you were speaking.
And also in summer of 2018 that the president of the Iranian resistance, Mrs. Rajivi, along with so many people.
I mean, we wouldn't even count them, right?
Well, there were about 100,000 people there in that gathering, huge gathering of support for Mrs. Rajivi.
And then the Iran regime had brought a powerful bomb on a diplomatic pouch.
And they were arrested.
So many others were arrested.
They were tried and they were convicted of terrorism for trying to bomb this movement.
And earlier in the year, they had attempted the same thing on a smaller scale in Albania.
Yes, in March of 2018, they wanted to, the truck bomb, an event that, you know, Mrs. Rajivi was there.
You were there.
A few other Americans were there.
And they were on the same.
That's why the Iranian regime embassy was shut down in Albania.
I don't remember Nepo Baby being there.
Absolutely not.
I mean, you know, he's always been there.
Every time there is an uprising in Iran, he just shows up.
And of course, the only capital he has is his last name.
You know, infamous people have a good name recognition.
And he's referred to as the son of the Shah and, you know, former crown prince of Iran.
That's all he has in terms of credentials.
Other than that, he has no, you know, network in Iran.
He has no organization here.
He has no office.
He's no accountability.
You don't even know who his people are.
And this is like a vague thing.
Everything is built around this one person.
He's a little plaything of the elite.
Some of the European elite, some of the American elite.
The way his old man was when they brought him back and stuck him in, and in many ways began to create the problems that we're living with today, England and the CIA.
Absolutely.
You know, his family, his grandfather and his father came to power three times, all three times through coup d'état.
And then they were overthrown by a popular uprising.
And they were the coup d'etat was executed from outside by, well, really by Britain and by the CIA.
In order to control the oil.
I mean, that's it.
I mean, simple as that.
And it's, it's, um, I find it very, very upsetting because I wonder if this isn't part of the regime's, I wonder if the regime doesn't encourage this, encourage him.
Actually, you know, there were a lot of articles.
But I remember talking about this.
I'm very suspicious of all those contacts that he had with the Revolutionary Guard.
The friends are a lot smarter than him and a lot tougher than him.
And their ability to use him is a lot more real than his ability to use them.
You're absolutely correct, Mayor.
You know, there are a lot of articles in the regime's own paper that say he's a useful idiot and he does things that the regime itself can't do it.
You know, he's a divider.
There's no any and no other element within the Iranian opposition that supports him.
Everybody else is against him.
The Kurds, the Baluchis, the Azeris, the Arabs, they're all against him because his father suppressed them and he calls them separatists.
And then even critics of the Iranian regime, they oppose him.
Inside Iran, civil activists who were jailed and some of them got noble and a lot of recognition internationally, he attacks them.
They're opposed to him.
So I don't know how he's relevant to the future of Iran, but that's not the issue.
The issue is right now, how he's actually serving the purpose of the Iranian regime by deviating attention from those, from the way to bring about change.
There's only one way, and that's to fight the Ayatollahs.
And he's exactly the opposite.
He says, I want to talk with the revolutionary guards.
I'm in touch with them.
He tells the people to go home and let me talk and settle it down with the revolutionary guards.
When was the last time that you could talk terrorists out of their behavior?
Is that how the change came in Syria?
How about Hezbollah in Lebanon?
How about the Shiad militias in Iraq or the Houthis in Yemen?
You can't talk to them and convince them to abandon their terrorism.
So if the ayat, there are a lot of rumors, of course, they're rumors, just rumors, that there's an exit plan for the Ayatollah to Moscow.
If that were to happen, then under the law that they have, or whatever you would call it, there's like an assembly of elders that would select the next Ayatollah.
How do you stop that from happening?
Well, honestly, Mayor, if that situation comes and the Supreme Leader leaves the scene, I don't think that assembly would even have a chance to convene.
You know, this is a society that is in an explosive state.
People want change.
They are against the Ayatollahs.
The Supreme Leader is the element that is putting the bits and pieces of the regime together.
If he leaves the scene, if there is any crack in the theocracy, nothing will be left out of it.
That's the main concern the regime has.
That's why they're resorting to sheer repression.
You know, in 2025, there were 2,200 executions, including political prisoners.
The goal was to prevent the resurgence of the uprising.
That didn't work at all.
That's why I think our focus and the resistance units of the MEK on the ground focus is that to expand the uprisings and to elevate it to ensure the continuity.
Are you equivalent in terms of the number of uprisings to where you were like in 2017, 2018, actually, or the uprisings after Amani was after she was killed?
Are these equivalent to that or a little less or more?
Actually, it started smaller, but it's expanding because in the first day, it was just the bazaar in Tehran.
And then it expanded to other parts of Tehran, it expanded to other cities.
As we speak right now, we have the record of at least 130 cities involved.
Almost all provinces, with a few exceptions, have been involved in these protests.
But what is important and compared to 2022 is the intensity of these protests.
The focus of the slogans, which is not on any social issues or about hijab or anything like that, is focused entirely on the fate of the regime.
Death to dictator, death to Khamenei, death to the oppressor, be the Shah or the supreme leader.
They're confronting revolutionary guards.
They're trying to, in some cases, disarming revolutionary guards through fighting.
This is a new element that didn't exist in the past.
And you have all the different sectors of the society.
So the regime has a very tough time to contain the population at this time.
I don't know what their strategy is, but whatever it is, it's not working today, day 11.
Well, God bless you.
You know, I'm ready to help any way I can.
You want to send me over there?
I mean, this would be the mayor.
Your message is getting there because people hear about your work, your effort.
I really appreciate when I've been able to speak to the people in Iran through the MEK.
We've had a lot of very good sessions.
And when you look at a situation where people are so desperate for freedom, if it doesn't move you, you're just not a good person.
You're just not.
So I'm praying very, very hard.
And of course, I'm ready to do anything I can to help.
I really believe that if you could have a decent, responsible government in Iran, peace in that region had come about, I don't know, really very quickly.
They are the biggest, without any doubt, disruptor in that region of the world.
And to some extent, even beyond that, that would be a tremendous defeat to China and Russia.
And they're already experiencing one defeat after another.
If you took Iran away from them, I mean, maybe we would finally create a situation where we could really have peace in the world.
So let's see.
That will happen, Mayor.
I know it will.
I know it will.
Just a question of the only way you can see peace in the region is actually the change in Iran, a free, democratic, non-nuclear republic form of government that would be non-belligerent.
You know, Mrs. Rajivi's 10-point platform for the future of Iran emphasizes on those very same points: that we need to have peace in the Middle East.
We need to end any kind of belligerence, terrorism.
And the whole structure of the regime is built for terrorism.
So that's why when there is change, and this is the movement that exposed all the nuclear sites of Iran, trying to eliminate their nuclear program, their missile program, their drone program, and all of that is crucial in seeing the change, not just in Iran, but in the region, but also beyond that globally.
Well, thank you very much, Ali Reyns.
And be careful.
Okay.
Thank you so much, Mayor.
Appreciate it.
God bless you.
Keep up the great fight.
I hope to have you on real soon because I hope there are more and more developers.
Okay.
God bless you.
Thank you, Mayor.
Appreciate that.
God bless you.
There's an exceptional man.
Unlike the Nepal baby Shah, there's a guy who's put his life on the line any number of times.
I remember the last time, but might even be the last time.
There may have been others after, but the last one I'm aware of, actually were going to be in Arizona.
The attempt on him was going to be in Arizona.
They arrested the people.
Oh, wow.
And when I say attempts, I don't mean just a little bit of intelligent intelligence.
I can give you a lot more if you want to talk about intelligence.
These aren't just threats.
No, you want threats.
I mean, I don't think we'd be on all night.
I'm talking about people getting arrested with bombs and guns and knives.
In his case, knives.
In my case, one was going to be a very small event, not small, a thousand people.
But for them, a big event is 100,000.
And the first one, the first one was clearly targeted at me and Madam Rajivi.
And that was in Albania.
It was just going to be a New Year's celebration at the newly developed Ashraf 3, which is their compound in Albania, which is not a compound.
It's a beautiful city, actually, and a very technologically advanced city, as you might imagine.
And it's amazing because there are many, many people.
I see these reports that, well, the MEK is not very popular within Iran and not whatever.
Do you know the Ayatollah has himself said, quote, the only group that really could replace me and that I worry about is the MEK.
He said it himself.
I don't know why he would say that, but he said it.
And the process of martyrdom and murdering them has taken place almost regularly since after the Ayatollah took over and double-crossed everybody else.
But his main target has always been the MEK.
So if he's killing 10 people a day, guaranteed six are MEK.
And also, as he said, the Ayatollah is very aware of the fact of the damage the MEK has done to him in fingering the nuclear scientists, assisting in discovering the first of the enrichment plants.
And then very, very close in time to the Israeli action against Iran and the United States action, discovering a whole hereto undiscovered area in the desert, not where they were enriching, but where they were developing much advanced delivery systems.
Meaning, it's one thing to have a bomb.
It's another thing to be able to take it across the ocean and hit the United States, right?
Well, they're not capable of the second one.
They're not table.
The first yet.
Oh, they're very close.
I mean, their first objective, obviously, was a bomb to reach Israel, then an objective, a bomb to reach Europe to deter any assistance for.
But their real objective is a bomb to reach the United States.
And these group of plants that were in the desert below ground, all of which have been taken out, were only recently discovered by that group.
As well as the, on two occasions, wipeouts of the scientists who were developing atomic weapons for Iran.
And I'm not sure of this.
So this is my speculation.
But I attribute some of the success of the Mossad in hitting precise targets in those apartment buildings in Tehran to the MEK.
Meaning, if you take, remember the pictures, you would see an apartment building, like one that would be in New York or Chicago or anyplace else.
And then you'd see one apartment just wiped out.
Just one.
That was the apartment that nuclear scientists lived in.
How do you think they knew that?
And that may not been a Maya bomb.
That may have been by a drone four blocks away.
In fact, it was.
So this group is work with them now since, let me be exact.
Work with them now for 16 years, 2010.
And I believe in them so much, I've risked my life several times for them.
But after the first time they tried to kill me, I still kept coming back and just tell them, daring them.
Screw you.
I mean, they're not the first group that want to kill me.
Well, that's the thing, Mayor.
And you're in a unique position and maybe separates you from a lot of the other folks.
The group.
The group in Colombia that's working with Venezuela.
And if you believe in them, that's that.
I mean, I'm enormously frustrated by the way in which they're maligned because having worked with them now on matters of life and death,
not just for me, but for a lot of people, and helping to get their people out of Iraq who are being shot up by Solomani, almost like in a shooting gallery.
And I still have a certain amount of guilt that we didn't do it faster.
We weren't able to do it faster because every day of delay meant another couple more people dead.
I am very thankful that we were able to get it done.
And when I say we, it wasn't just me.
It was a lot of other people, Louis Free and Judge McCasey.
But it's an important point to make.
I mean, if you believe in these guys, and I say guys, but Madame Rajavi, of course, leads the organization, a very strong woman.
That says something.
I mean, you're the man who took down the mafia, right?
You're the man who led the city of New York through its darkest hour.
You have more experience than maybe anyone in contemporary American politics when it comes to international security.
You've worked in how many countries?
70, maybe more?
Maybe take?
Well, I've been in about 90.
I probably worked in about 20.
Right, right.
So when you're, you come out this strong in favor of this group, and this is, and since I've never been strong, it's, as I said, without any doubt, I have, and I would continue to risk my life for them.
Right.
And nobody can question your motivation.
I don't think there's anything that you can do in life that's more important than helping people obtain freedom.
Right.
And I think, I think you're especially, I told the president this when I saw him this weekend twice.
I said, he's now a great liberator.
There's nothing more important for a president to be than a liberator.
That's what Abraham Lincoln was.
That's what Ronald Reagan was.
And that's what he is.
Right.
But it's important that we make this point.
I want to talk to anyone that wants to question your motivations here.
I mean, nobody can, and not that people are.
But generally speaking, you're right.
There's an ongoing fight for who should be.
This is a wealthy country.
Who should take over?
Well, don't you think there'd be a fight?
This is a very wealthy country.
Most people care about money.
But a lot of what you hear.
I don't.
But most people care about money.
But a lot of the lies and misinformation you're hearing about MEK and the NCRI.
Well, you got to be really careful.
Yeah, and you got to really be careful because there's so much money involved here that it's very easy to turn people's heads.
And if there's one person that I can look to, not just me, if there's one person we can look to for advice on this matter here stateside, it's Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
If there's one person who has demonstrated time and time again throughout his life that he takes on worthy causes and he fights for the good guys, it's Mayor Giuliani.
I mean, this is going back to your days as a prosecutor in New York, right?
Obviously, your time as mayor, your post-mayoral career, right, which is just as long as your time as mayor.
I want to miss, and I'll wrap it up, Mayor.
I know you don't when I do this, but I think this is important.
What's happening in Iran, what's about, what could happen this year, right?
It could happen.
It could happen in months, days.
Just think back on the other overthrows in whatever lifespan you've had.
And they've almost all been surprises, right?
Right.
All of a sudden, you wake up and they caught Bin Laden.
All of a sudden, the Assad is securely in place.
You can't remove him and the guy's running like a scared rabbit to Moscow.
All of a sudden, Maduro is sitting there dancing and eating with the Chinese special envoy.
And he's headed for the door.
And man, he's in Westchester County, landed at Stewart Air Force Base on his way to a tiny little prison where he's sitting right now.
I mean, that happened.
I mean, that happened in the middle of the night from our point of view.
That one was probably a little more expected because of the, but I mean, I go back to, you know, all of the, even the over, even the overthrow, the killing of Sadat, these things are very volatile and they happen very quickly.
And we don't really know.
We really don't know what's going on internally completely.
Right.
But I can tell you, because this is one I do know a great deal about.
This is a very, very volatile situation.
This could happen.
Doesn't mean it will.
It doesn't mean it's easy.
And it doesn't mean they can't thwart it.
I think there's a real possibility that they're going to get rid of the Ayatollah and put somebody else in place who's more vital.
I mean, who's the Ayatollah's, what, 86?
Rumored to have cancer.
There are just too many rumors around that he's got an escape plan to Moscow.
And if I were them, if I were the crazy, nutty Islamic extremists that run that place, who are also, in fact, very shrewd, right?
These are not dumb people.
They're crazy people.
I'd be trying to get somebody else as my figurehead right now that was more vital, more about going to live.
This guy could die on his own.
Right.
So it has to be that they are trying internally and thinking very carefully about do we stick with the Ayatollah or do we, without anybody knowing, slip him out of the next day, there's a new Ayatollah sitting there.
Maybe his son, who is a, who would be another ridiculous choice, very controversial, no religious background at all.
I mean, he didn't have much.
The first Ayatollah was actually a Muslim scholar.
Right.
Vicious murderer, but as a Muslim scholar, that is, in fact, what Muhammad told him to do.
I mean, if you sat with him, it'd be hard to argue with him.
This is right in the Quran.
The second one, the one up there now, was basically a crook who would suck around with the Ayatollah to make money.
And he's turned it into the last thing they really are is religious.
I mean, this is basically like a combination of a terrorist and organized crime group.
And his son is apparently worse, but he's the number one choice.
Other names are hidden, I guess, for fear that somebody will knock him off before they get there.
But there are supposedly other possibilities, and there's very active thinking right now.
Slip them out and announce you have a new Ayatollah.
And look, I think they would look at what happened in Venezuela, and they may see that as a possible solution to getting president, to getting President Trump off their back.
However, I think it's different, whereas the president, the administration seemed to be making a good point in Venezuela, the goal being to secure the oil.
You got to keep people in place, right?
There's plenty of oil in Iran.
I guess to interest the president, there's plenty of oil in Iran.
But in Venezuela, right?
And they've stolen a lot, too.
They've stolen a lot of our money.
And well, that brings us back to the other point.
The folks calling for the return of the Shah.
They've killed a lot of us.
Right.
A lot more than the Venezuelans have, except, I guess, domestically.
But they've killed, I mean, the Iranians have killed a lot of Americans.
Right.
Particularly Solomani.
Of course, president put a big bomb on his head.
But Madame Rajavi and MEK seem to have the best plan.
Their plan is.
They don't have the best plan.
They have the only plan.
And it's not to take over indefinitely.
They want to come in, my understanding, right, Mayor.
You correct me if I'm wrong.
They want to come in, keep the order, keep the peace.
And these are Iranians, MEK, these are Iranians.
Keep the peace and get things settled with the West's help and then have open and free elections.
They have not made a bunch of deals with the oil crooks.
Right.
And there's the last time the oil crooks won.
Right.
And they did put together a democratic government under Mosaddegh.
And the oil crooks got Britain and the U.S. and the CIA to overthrow him and put back the frightened Shah who had run away.
And the Shah had run away.
He was given up.
The son of the Shah, he has some support in Los Angeles, Paris, London.
He has zero support inside of Iran.
Not only that.
All you have to do is say Savak and every person in Iran, even those who are young, because of their parents and grandparents, would know that he was killing about as many people as the Ayatollah kills.
And that he was, among other things, a massive thief.
I mean, if I were Iranian, I would really resent this guy because he's lived the life of a billionaire off my money, which he stole from us.
Now, that money would have been in the hands of the Ayatollah or whatever, but at least it should have been kept for the Iranian people.
And they have lived the life of royalty in exile.
Not money they earned, but money they stole.
Right.
So we basically have, among other things, a Nepal baby crook.
In any event, let's go to Minnesota for a minute before we close out.
We spent a lot of time on that on the earlier show, but maybe the people on this show haven't heard our views on it.
I don't think this is even close.
I don't think this is even close.
This was a completely legitimate shooting.
If the officer had done anything else, he'd have been a complete idiot and shouldn't probably be an law enforcement officer.
You get a crazy lady who's yelling and screaming, resisting the request, the legitimate requests of your brother officers, and then she aims her car toward you.
I'd shoot her in a minute.
I didn't really want to go home that night.
That's him right there.
Now, if we get the one that I, the one that's the best, the slowdown version.
And that if I were his lawyer would win this case in a second is what was the version where if you really slow it down, you realize he delays in shooting.
He delays until she starts the car and she starts rolling it toward him because you can see the wheels rolling before the gun goes off.
Finally, as the car is approaching him, he kind of deflects to the side and shoots.
I don't even think this is the woman.
Maybe, maybe we can get it here.
This is the guy trying to convince her to get out.
There's the guy she shoots at.
Now, you see there, the gun comes out.
The car is moving toward him, moving toward him, moving toward him.
And then he shoots.
Right.
How many times did I say moving toward him before he shot?
Three times?
Moving, shoots.
All right.
Of course, it's a no time to think.
You see that thing coming at you from crazy lady?
What the hell do you do?
Not to mention, they're already surrounded by people that are fired up in their face.
Afterwards, we saw a recent incident with an officer that was very badly injured being dragged by a car.
Well, and our understanding is potentially the ICE officer involved in this shooting himself was involved in it.
Yeah, they haven't put that out yet.
The woman who was killed is Renee Nicole Good.
And we don't know much about her other than two different, somewhat different, what would you call this gossip or that she was an active?
It's clear she was an activist.
All you have to just listen to her.
But then she was one of the organizers of the demonstration.
She and her girlfriend, whatever.
I think it's one of those stranger situations.
But I don't want to say that until I'm sure.
I don't know how to describe her partner.
I mean, I don't know how to describe it because I've heard it described different ways.
Also, someone who was deeply involved in organizing these protests and also was thought of maybe as a leader, and she was just helping.
I guess we'll find out more about this, this part of it.
But the one part of it that's clear is from the point of view of a legitimate shooting to protect your own life and the life of the people around you, because who the hell knows what she was going to go off and do, right?
I don't see how you can't say he was in reasonable fear for his life.
It sure heck is a lot more defensible than the guy who killed Ashley Babbitt.
Right.
She wasn't aiming a car at anybody.
Right.
In fact, there were two guys very close to him that could have taken him that he left alone on purpose.
Right.
Well, there'll be a lot more on this tomorrow.
I really am very anxious to see the details on it.
But I don't have to see more than that video as a lawyer and prosecutor and defense lawyer to tell you that this is an open and shut case.
Now, you say, well, in Minnesota, they may go after him anyway.
As a federal agent, the federal government can remove that case and just take it right out of the crooked.
The DA in that county is considered to be the biggest opponent of the police in the United States, more of an opponent than most criminals, which is really odd.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
Anytime there's something like this, the Democrats constantly always come out on the side of the criminal.
They don't even wait to find out what the hell is wrong with them, Ted.
They're constantly on the side of the criminal.
Right.
Or the communist or the person who wants to mutilate children or the Islamic terrorist who wants to bomb you.
What do they just hate us?
Or maybe they hate themselves.
I think they really hate themselves.
They really need.
So, and are these same Democrats now crying about this incident, which involved a 3,000-pound vehicle?
Well, maybe even more.
What about Ashley Babbitt?
They shot her.
She was even driving a 4,000-pound car.
She was going to come over, allege, and land on her ass with six cops on one side and eight cops on the other side.
Another thousand cops within them.
Yeah.
And there were two guys who were banging the door down right in front of him.
Right.
Who, if he did panic, would have been the ones you'd focus on.
But no, no, he just.
Yeah.
There was no moving vehicle in front of him.
Not only did he not get prosecuted, he got promoted and he was given an unheard of amount of cash.
We don't even know how much.
He was rewarded for killing her.
Millions, I'm sure.
Yeah, he was rewarded for killing her.
I mean, you know.
And that's why when they had this January 6th anniversary, we should have the same thing.
Right.
Well, I want to thank you very, very much for listening in tonight.
We will be back with you tomorrow.
We'll be back with you tomorrow at 7.
And then we'll be back with you here on X with America's Mayor Live, Rudy Giuliani Show at 7.
And I'm sure we'll have plenty more.
We'll have plenty more details on all of this.
At the same time, please remember to pray for all of those that are in harm's way in Ukraine and in Israel.
And of course, in Iran that we spoke a lot about tonight, in Venezuela.
And of course, pray for our president and the people of the United States.
So Let's just thank God that we're Americans, huh?
God 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 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.
