	To America's Mayor Live.
	And we're very happy to have you with us.
	And on an evening where the president certainly created some stir today when he canceled his meeting with the Iranian officials he was supposed to meet with, right?
	Right.
	And also, of course, in the wake of his remarks that yesterday he received a call requesting that they begin their meetings again.
	And the president agreed to begin their meetings again, but said rather directly that he thought, well, in terms of being able to avoid our taking military action to protect the protesters who were being killed in cold blood, that it probably was too late.
	Now, we're used to the fact that when he says things like this, these are the warnings that he's giving to them that there's going to be a major and disastrous strike.
	So I have no reason to believe that that isn't what he's doing.
	That isn't what we're comparing right now, because Iran is not letting up.
	Iran has decided, in fact, to step it up rather than to back off.
	Both the Ayatollah and his henchmen have said that if it doesn't cease, America is going to intervene militarily.
	It's something that we were reluctant to do.
	It's something that we didn't want to do.
	And there would be no reason for the president to say these things if he wasn't trying to give them fair warning so they could cease and desist from what they were doing as a result of their reaction to the protests that were being made by the president.
	Iranian citizens, which have now consumed pretty much all of Iran.
	And very different groups, different reasons, all coming back to the fact that the country has been ruined by the Muslim leadership of the country.
	And some of the protests are not just against the government, not just against the Ayatollah.
	And not even just in favor of President Trump.
	Some of the literal dictates of the Muslim religion, you'd be protesting too, particularly if you were a woman.
	So where this will all end up, if we were dealing with some degree of rationality, we would say that for a period of time,
	the leadership, the Ayatollah and his call mullahs, would cease and desist for a period of time, even if it were, in a way, phony, just to buy themselves some time.
	But the reality is that It does not seem to be the case.
	They already, they're about to execute Irfan Sultani, and he's being executed for the crime of waging war against God.
	And that was during his arrest during a protest in Karaj.
	His family was told that he had been sentenced to death and that the sentence is due to be carried out on January 14, which is tomorrow.
	The widespread killing of civilian protesters in recent days by the Lamar Republic is reminiscent of the regime's crimes in the 1980s, which have been recognized as crimes against humanity.
	There was in the 1980s in one year, they killed 20,000 members of the MEK, the organization that is derided and demonized and treated with all kinds of propaganda and lies,
	because it strikes fear not only into the heart of the Islamic terrorists, it strikes fear in the heart of the greedy, rapacious, brutal dictatorial Pahavi family because they are opposed to both dictator and monarch.
	In other words, they're opposed to their citizens being put in the prison, which is now used by the regime, which was built by Pahlavi's father, and in which he carried out his executions, tortures under the maybe most brutal and inhumane secrets police in the world,
	certainly a match to the communists and Nazis, Savak.
	Also, just in case you think I'm fooling about that, his grandfather was a good friend of Hitler and established a lot of these things directly from Hitler, which he carried on under the guise of modernizing the country.
	It's one thing to take the veil off the women.
	It's another thing to chop the hands off of your adversaries, which was not uncommon under the father of the present guy who wants to reestablish the monarchy.
	He says that he just wants to have a democracy and he'll move out.
	He fails to tell you, he's already been crowned the king in a ceremony years ago.
	And he has an awful lot of people that are hoping to replenish all the money they stole from Iran in the 50s and 60s and 70s by coming back in.
	So I don't even know how much he's his own actor.
	Unfortunately and tragically, given the corruption of our media and even of our politicians, he has bought off a tremendous amount of support.
	For example, suggesting that he had anything to do with those protests, except a couple of people that were planted is ridiculous.
	They've been doing protests in Iran since 2014.
	In fact, in 2018, the protests were greater than they are now.
	He wasn't anywhere to be found at that point.
	So these protests began in great numbers without him.
	He is doing what the Pahlavi family, who are a group of vipers, have done for years, which is latching onto the people of Iran and taking advantage of them.
	I mean, his aunt was an international drug dealer, which they always said she only did for herself.
	But she had pretty much freedom to do it under him and his family.
	And she made a fortune.
	Was that all for herself?
	Or did the crooked old man, his father, share in that?
	Who knows?
	That's just one of the many crimes committed by the Pahavi family.
	And here we have the establishment bowing down to the crown prince.
	He's no more a crown prince than John Gotti was, or John Gotti's son, let's say.
	At this point, hundreds of protesters have been killed, or thousands.
	The international phone signals, the internet has been cut off.
	And you realize there isn't much of a reaction to it in Western countries.
	I mean, this is significantly greater than anything done to the people of Gaza, significantly greater.
	And for no reason, they haven't attacked, killed men, women, and children, raped them, and chopped their heads off.
	They've done nothing but live their life, and they are being treated like animals.
	You don't see any demonstrations for them.
	Instead, the demonstrations are for the woman who got killed because she drove her two and a half pound truck into a law enforcement officer.
	Instead of protests for the people of Iran who are being killed left and right for no other reason than the Ayatollah wants to hold on to the pot of gold that's Iran, just like the Pahavi family did, who want it back and are fooling those same people.
	Let's hope we are smart enough not to repeat history.
	And this would be the history of the early 1950s when a form of democracy had been established in Iran.
	And you can come up with alternative explanations for this.
	We removed the democracy, we meaning the CIA in Britain.
	We destroyed the democracy because the head of the government didn't want to be a pawn of Britain any longer and wanted to charge a market rate for oil.
	That's one explanation.
	The other explanation is that he was a socialist and leaned toward Russia and therefore would make more oil available to Russia.
	That's never been established or proved, but it's a reasonable possibility.
	Instead of allowing that, we intervened using our military force and we put this young, we put back this frightened little coward who had run out of the country, the Shah's father.
	He must have inherited it from his father because never once in all of the times that I work with MBK, just about always under threat of death, he's never joined us.
	He's never taken a risk of any kind.
	I should say, I don't know if they saw the X thing, which was rather extraordinary, but somebody on behalf of the Nepo baby Shah put out an attack on me saying that there's no evidence that I was ever the subject of a death attempt.
	Well, I think they were really speaking of the Nepo baby Shah because there's unbelievable amount of evidence of it.
	And two occasions, one in Albania, when four people were arrested shortly before a gathering where they had bombs and all of the maps and plans to kill me and Madame Rajavi.
	And then again in June, a more famous incident that got more attention in which I was the keynote speaker and one of the targets of their, again, bomb attempt for which they all were convicted in a public trial that got publicity in the international press.
	Maybe you could play an article or two.
	Now, I've never heard of X taking your tweet and having someone else put right next to it a point-by-point false version or criticism of it.
	It isn't that they just respond as an answer.
	They get an alternative tweet to put next to yours.
	So I'm very, very suspicious that whoever did that was partial to the Nepo baby Shah and to the corrupt Pahlavi family.
	Did they do what the Pahlavi families usually do, which is to pay money?
	I don't know.
	Is Fox in their back pocket?
	Because I suspect that the Shah would have operated in the same circles as the family that owns Fox and dictates to it.
	But all of a sudden, you see the Shah now, never mentioned before, as a hero on Fox News, on the Post, and in the Wall Street Journal, never mentioning that he's never had a job, never mentioning the unbelievable atrocities of his father.
	I am told that they produce, by translators, that they produce absolutely phony videos of the demonstrations where they make it appear as if people are yelling for the Shah.
	In fact, there have been demonstrations in which people have been yelling not to have the Shah, not to have a Shah.
	Neither a Shah nor an Ayatollah.
	How about we, you know, we govern ourselves.
	Sounds more sensible, doesn't it?
	Seems a little ridiculous to go from a dictatorship to an absolute monarchy.
	And if you think he's in favor of a constitutional monarchy, no, You can't have lived off other people's money in great luxury, knowing those people are starving all your life and be in favor of something other than a monarchy in which you have all the power.
	So let's hope, one, that they get to the point of turning out the Ayatollah, which I do think it'll happen.
	I believe this Ayatollah is going to be thrown out and soon.
	Here's the question.
	What happens?
	Do they regroup quickly, elect another Ayatollah, which is elect, when I say elected, it's the council of elders or experts or whatever.
	It's not the people don't do it.
	all the crooked gangsters do it, otherwise known as Islamics.
	And then he takes over the way this one did from prior Ayatollah and the power within the Revolutionary Guard and the army is maintained and the suppression as it did in 2021 works on the people or does it result in a storming of the Bastille, in essence, and a popular government takes over.
	In that case, the MEK is the best position to do that.
	They have, for many years, have set up an interim government in waiting, a government that could keep the trains running and the food flowing for the period of time that it would take to have a meaningful, informed, free and fair election.
	And without any expectation that they would be in charge or have any specific role or asking for anything in return for it, other than to vindicate the 120,000 lives of their members that have been sacrificed in this effort over the 47 years.
	That gives you a big stake.
	The Pahlavi family lost its massive pot of stolen gold being replenished, although they walked out with enough stolen gold to live like kings and queens and princes for the rest of their lives as the people of their country starved.
	United States is stepping up planning right now for possible military action.
	There's no indication, as there shouldn't be, how we will do it.
	Will it be another extrication?
	Will we pull this murderous, homicidal old man out of where he is?
	Or is it going to be a more general attack?
	I don't know.
	I do think with the president's words that they're going to be backed up.
	So far, he has.
	Do we have Kelly Jane Torrance with us?
	Well, Kelly Jane is Rudy Giuliani.
	How are you?
	How are you?
	I'm good.
	You know, watching things in Iran just as closely as you are.
	It's very worrisome with the people being killed, of course, but it's also exciting that the regime seems very close to falling.
	I do think so.
	I mean, I've been involved with them from the time of the transfer of the Shah because I ended up representing the Minister of the Treasury for several years when he stole all his money from Iran.
	Unfortunately, I was a lawyer at the time and had no choice.
	But then I learned all about it and have been involved in protesting the government and working to get them freed and get people out of there for 15 years.
	And I've seen a few situations where it was close, like 2014 and Obama shut it right off.
	2017 and 18, which Trump encouraged, and it got pretty far.
	And then finally, they just brought everybody in and slaughtered people.
	I have a feeling they're going to get rid of him.
	The question is, what happens?
	Do they quickly put somebody else in, or do they actually go on to have a decent government?
	So What do you hear from what's going on on the ground there?
	Well, certainly a lot of what I'm hearing is not what we're seeing reflected in a lot of the media in this country, unfortunately.
	And I'm sure you know that as well.
	You know, people on the ground, they want an end to all dictatorship, and they certainly want an end to the mullahs.
	Now, there are some, you know, isolated incidents of some people calling for a return of a Shah, but that's not the overwhelming majority of people.
	And really, we're not hearing and seeing it that much.
	Now, the isolated incidents, of course, have been used in this country to try to claim by some that there's this overwhelming movement for Reza Pallavi to swoop in the so-called crown prince.
	But that's not what I'm hearing and seeing.
	And of course, these protests, as you noted, have been going on for quite years, but off and on is, of course, the regime is so brutal in suppressing them and murdering people.
	But there's been for years now, disenchantment.
	I'm not sure they were ever enchanted, but certainly people have been against this regime for a long time.
	And there are people like you, like you said, you've been working.
	I mean, honestly, you've done more for freedom in Iran, Rudy Giuliani, than I think Reza Pallavi really has done.
	And I know people, and I'm sure you do as well, that Iranian exiles and dissidents who have really devoted their lives to their country and their countrymen and have been working for freedom.
	And certainly, you know, the protesters are not coming out as Reza Pallavi claims.
	Oh, I've told the protesters to come out.
	So they've come out.
	No, no, no.
	They've been coming out for years.
	Yes.
	It's not him calling them out.
	And it's certainly not him, you know, behind this.
	That's for certain.
	But he's certainly trying to take advantage of the situation.
	And unfortunately, I've noticed a lot of media in this country falling for it.
	Yeah, and it could complicate things.
	Don't discount the fact that the Revolutionary Guard has some role in this because he's had contacts for years with the Revolutionary Guard and has at various and at various times said he could turn them and they would work for him.
	I mean, it is incredible, isn't it?
	I don't think anybody's turning the Revolutionary Guard.
	Well, it's interesting because, you know, obviously I think life was much better under the Shah than it is under these mullahs, no question.
	But at the same time, the Shah had a very, you know, serious, you know, counter, you know, sort of protest force.
	And he had his own spies and, of course, tortured people.
	I've met, you know, I met a woman in her 90s who still has scars from being tortured by the Shah's men before the revolution.
	And so, you know, this certainly kind of worry when Reza Pallavi has said in the past, as he has, that, you know, he's ready to get the Revolutionary Guard to work for him, because we certainly know that, you know, his family has used such forces in the past and not for him.
	The Savako is one of the most notorious secret police.
	You're correct.
	I mean, the story of the Shah is a mixed one.
	One is an attempt to modernize, an attempt to work with the rest of the world.
	And the other was massive dictatorship and killing and murder and theft.
	And he was, I guess they were thieves that believed in trying to modernize their people.
	It's incredible.
	The Iranian people are such a great people.
	So many engineers out of that country, but they're also very it's just a great civilization.
	And they've really been having to fight for their freedom for so long now.
	And it's, you know, I hope it's within their reach very soon.
	Well, that is one of their advantages.
	They have an incredible amount of resources.
	Now, the MEK alone has vast resources.
	They fund any number of operations, including the ability to broadcast directly into Iran every day.
	Now, that gets cut off.
	But I've given any number of speeches to the Iranian people and gotten feedback for it.
	Not now.
	It's been cut off now.
	Right now, they've got to.
	They've really, the regime has instituted what seems to be a total blackout.
	Well, let's see.
	We'll have to pray and hope that this puts it over the top.
	It eventually is going to fall.
	So, God willing, it'll be now.
	Exactly.
	And, you know, we'll see if he, you know, the if the Supreme Leader manages to flee to Russia, as we heard he would plan to do, or if he's, you know, going to have to stay and face justice for decades of crime and just, you know, awful murders.
	And it's just the people have been, you know, they really deserve justice, but they sure do.
	Let's see him out of here no matter what.
	Well, thank you very, very much.
	We'll be in touch.
	Thank you.
	And I'm really glad you're highlighting this issue.
	I know it's so important.
	And you're, you know, letting people know a lot of things that they're not getting from the rest of the media right now.
	Well, thank you very much.
	God bless you.
	Well, that was very, very informative and very helpful.
	Yeah, I think I probably told you that that is Tehran behind us, correct?
	It is.
	Yeah.
	As you can see, it looks from the outside like a very modern city.
	And it is a modern city, actually, probably one of the few in Iran.
	And it's a great world city, of course.
	And it does kind of reflect the debatable attitudes in Iran.
	What's missing are the many, many other nationalities that make up Iran that are not Iranian and in some cases not Muslim.
	And they are as opposed, if not more opposed, to the Ayatollah and to the Shah, because he was particularly brutal to the non-Iranian, of the non-Persian Iranians.
	And they bear tremendous hatred of the father and the family.
	So you'd begin with that fissure, which was utilized brilliantly by the Ayatollah to make them think that they would be brought in by him when they weren't by the Shah.
	And of course, he had no use for them either because they weren't Muslims.
	They're people that should be killed.
	He is a strict interpreter of the Quran.
	And what the Ayatollah says, he does not make up.
	He reads it in the holy book.
	It's there, remains there.
	It's there in the book that Mandani swore on.
	He swore in a book that exhorts him as a Muslim to not be friendly with Christians and Jews, to kill them unless they submit.
	That was Muhammad's last word on the subject.
	And what he did in his life.
	That's the book that he swears on, a book that puts him in mortal competition with fellow Americans.
	The same thing is true of Keith Ellison, who is the crooked, well appears to be crooked attorney general of the state that seems to have taken more money in fraud than so far any state in history, all for the benefit of the Somali people and the politicians of that state.
	And all during that time, Keith Ellison, who has a very, very questionable reputation to start with, was the attorney general and now is doing everything he can to hide it or minimize it.
	He's been a scoundrel for quite some time.
	But he also took the oath of office on the Quran.
	He took it on Jefferson's Koran, which seemed to make it all right.
	Although Jefferson was a great critic of the Muslim religion and doubted that it was a religion and his interlinings, I have a copy, of course, a modern copy of that inside.
	And that would hardly have been really a holy, that was more a critique of the Quran than a Quran.
	But in any event, it would seem to me that those oaths of office are invalid, haven't been taken on a book that's more satanic than it is religious.
	So we'll have to see what happens with these people, how far they can go with it.
	And the hard part to visualize is how they turn the government.
	The MEK has vast resources available.
	They are demeaned by the Shah and the money that he puts in with the establishment press.
	But you know you can trust them because the establishment press doesn't like them.
	Because anything good they hate and anything bad they embrace.
	That's just the sickness of being a Marxist.
	But even for them, who actually do have the control to guide these protests and are guiding this protest from their headquarters, which I will not disclose to you where it is.
	In fact, to tell you the truth, right now, I don't know where it is.
	They've been shut down in, they've been shut down in Albania and they've been shut down, I suspect, in Paris.
	But they have alternative sites and they're operating and they're getting information from inside and they're conveying orders from the outside.
	For all of the demeaning that's done, there's no organization that's done more to bring down this dictatorship.
	The original information about Iran enriching uranium for the purpose of developing an atomic weapon comes directly, without any question, from the resources and the people of the Muhajin el-Kalk, which is the MEK.
	That was in 2003.
	Four years later, they discovered another Fordo, which is one that was bombed.
	They discovered another one.
	That led to tremendous serious concern about their developing a bomb.
	And they then disclosed two more.
	And then at some period, this happened in series and rounds of times.
	All of a sudden, in one short period of time, nine of the major nuclear scientists that Iran had, who of course were invaluable to getting to the next stage, somehow found themselves dead.
	And there is no question that they were fingered by the MEK.
	And the coup de grace was done by the Mossad, both denied.
	Not very convincingly.
	That again was repeated a number of years later.
	And then, of course, culminated in the attack that Israel made, in which you saw something and you saw it and probably were a little amazed, but had no idea what it was.
	I knew exactly what it was.
	You see a building.
	The building is untouched.
	In the middle of that building, there's an apartment that's blown out.
	One, maybe two.
	Those are the places where the nuclear scientists were.
	Often that was done by a drone that was set off several blocks away.
	That drone had been there probably for two or three years, ready to go.
	Because the MEK assisted Mossad in, I guess comes out of my cousin Vinny, in blending.
	Now, the Mossad is creative at blending without help.
	But very often, in order to blend, you need help from the natives, right?
	They got to teach you what to say.
	They have to teach you what to act and kind of put you in a situation that's very, very comfortable.
	And the Mossad is great at that.
	It doesn't just do that in Iran.
	But in Iran, their main collaborator is the MEK, the organization that is part of the NCRI, the National Council for the Resistance to the Iranian Islamic Republic.
	And that is made up of a group of organizations of both Persian background and those like the Balushis and the other, the Kurds.
	And they have put together for purposes of transition a shadow transition government, not a shadow government, a shadow transition government that would exist for a very specified period of time.
	Recommendation is six to nine months.
	And then there would be an election and the Constitution, which is best absorbed by the 10 main points put out by them, would be put in place at the same time.
	And the Constitution is exactly what you would think.
	First, freedom for women, which of course is vital and necessary because of what goes on there.
	Freedom against discrimination for everyone.
	A representative government elected by the people.
	No dictator, no king, an elected president, an elected prime minister, a right of free speech, freedom of religion.
	You will be able to see in downtown Tehran what you don't see even in Saudi Arabia.
	You'll see crosses and Stars of David for Christians who will be allowed to practice their religion there publicly, and Jews will be allowed to practice their religion there publicly.
	In fact, there are a fair number of Iranian Jews, obviously a minority, but it was a very strong minority in Iran.
	And it is true that the Shah, who was a thief and a murderer and everything else, did go out of his way to have a fairly close relationship with Israel, largely because he was forced to do that by the British.
	He was controlled by the British even more than by us.
	Although at the end, Nixon became very close to him.
	So hundreds of protesters, they say hundreds of protesters have been killed.
	And I think her point is correct.
	It's not hundreds, it's thousands of protesters that have been killed.
	And exactly why they've selected this one person for execution when in fact they're killing them in the streets, you wonder.
	But I guess it's in order to have a public display, you know, like the hangings during the French Revolution.
	So let's take a short break.
	We'll take a break.
	When we come back, we have another guest.
	Good.
	Another special guest.
	Who is that?
	Former Congressman Ted Poe from the Houston area.
	So we'll be right back after these short messages to pay the bills.
	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 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 going to go into the roaster and it'll get roasted for about 20 minutes or so oh my goodness look Look at these.
	My goodness, you're going to want to specially order these.
	This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
	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.

	This is Marie Giuliani back again with America's Mayor Live.
	Looking like I'm sitting in Tehran.
	You don't know that this is a dream for me right here.
	First time I spoke for the MEK, which I'm going to guess was about, I mean, to the major gathering 2010, June of 2010 or 2011.
	I was informed that as I got up in front of this crowd of about at that time, they've gone up to as much as 100,000.
	It's about 70,000 people that this would be broadcast in most of Iran.
	And because they have the capacity, they have great resources.
	They had the capacity to break their shield.
	And then we got a lot of feedback.
	And I ended each of my speeches now, of which there probably have been about eight of those formal ones, and altogether about 50.
	I ended it with saying, I look forward to seeing and meeting all of you at this time next year in Tehran.
	And for the first time, I feel like if this is getting through, I don't know if it will.
	If it involves Iran, which it does, they will try to get it through.
	I feel that this is a reality now.
	We will be able to get into Tehran.
	And from the really significant experience that I've had, not just with the MEK, but with the Iranian people as a result of that.
	These people, by and large, like America.
	This death to America comes directly out of, well, it comes directly out of Muslim theology.
	We're infidels.
	We're thought of really more as Christians.
	I guess to some extent as Jews, right?
	Because we have a large Jewish community.
	But I mean, it doesn't do much good if you go from Christian to Jew or Jew to Christian.
	Muhammad was in favor of killing both of us and did kill both of us in rather large numbers.
	In fact, Muslims killed many, many more Christians than Jews, largely because there are just many more Christians to kill.
	But their hatred of us and their religious admonition and their religious duty is to kill us.
	Everything I tell you is in the Quran.
	If you want to, you can get my podcast and I'll read it to you and show it to you.
	Because as I did with Biden, I just don't tell you.
	I show you.
	We have with us a really great American who has a vast knowledge of this subject.
	And it's Ted Poe, former United States Congressman from the free state of Texas.
	Right, Ted?
	That's correct.
	That's correct.
	Tell us your experiences with Iran and particularly with the MEK, given the fact that it is possible, don't you think, that there might be something that happens in the next month or two.
	Yes, I think something's happening.
	This is the time after 40 years.
	It's about time.
	I know a lot of Iranians, American Iranians.
	I know, they love you.
	And many of them fled Iran before the Shah, during the Shah, and right after the Ayatollahs took over.
	And in both periods, they had loved ones, family members, brothers, sisters, kids murdered, especially by the current regime.
	And as you know, thousands and thousands of Iranian citizens who have family members in the United States have been murdered over the last 40 years by the Ayatollah, and nobody has been held accountable for it.
	And I came in contact with many of those survivors.
	And I worked with those who lived in Camp Asharov.
	That was the camp in Iraq of Iranian refugees that left Iran, but fleeing the Ayatollahs, were kept in Iraq in a camp, protected supposedly by Americans, and they weren't.
	They were attacked by the IRGC, the Iranian IRGC, while they were in Camp Asharov.
	These are Iranian dissidents.
	And then they moved to Albania.
	They're still being harassed by the government, the Iranian government there.
	These are all Iranian nationals.
	They are pro-democracy folks, people you've been talking about.
	They want a democracy, and they are now working to have that democracy.
	For 40 years, they have been in constant demand for a free, secular Iran, non-nuclear Iran.
	And they've been punished.
	They've been tracked down and killed and harassed through those 40 years, many of them in the U.S., many of them in France and other places.
	They have worked with the United States.
	Now, these are Iranian dissidents now in Iran.
	They've worked with the United States.
	They've worked with Israel for how?
	For information.
	All of this information we're getting about what's taking place in Iran with their military, their nuclear program.
	We got that information from the people who lived there, the dissidents.
	They have sacrificed their lives and their freedom many times to get that intelligence to the United States, to the West, to Israel about what the government's doing, especially in its nuclear capability, its ballistic capability.
	Those people do want what everybody wants in the world, freedom.
	And they are hardcore freedom fighters.
	They want that.
	They sacrificed much while they are there.
	They're being punished by the Iranian government up until this very hour.
	Absolutely.
	Yeah, and they've taken to the streets several times over the years.
	Under the Obama administration, they took the streets and we didn't support them.
	All they want from the United States is political support.
	They don't want boots on the ground.
	They don't want us to come over and take over their country.
	It's their country.
	They want to have a free election, elect a person.
	They want to run their country.
	But they want the United States to at least say that the current Ayatollah is a warmonger and he is not the legitimate ruler of Iran.
	So, and I'm not a lot of those people, like you have, I've met them overseas and they're wonderful people, but they're still in mourning, Mayor, for the loss of their family members under this current regime who have just murdered them because they disagree with the current Ayatollah.
	You know, Ted, I think, and it's hard to get you, wrap your mind around this, but I think over the years, the 47 years, I think the number is about 120,000 of their members alone who've been killed.
	In one year, there's one year as many as 25 or 30,000 were killed when they went on a rampage.
	They are now the primary target.
	So when we hear that 10 people are dead in Iran, probably six or seven are members of the dissidents.
	That is true.
	And like I said, Mayor, none of them have ever been held accountable.
	I'm talking about the killers, have never been held accountable.
	And they have done atrocious things to these people in Iran.
	And of course, they're unarmed.
	None of them, you know, there's no Second Amendment in Iran.
	And I mean, there's not.
	They don't have any guns.
	But kids have been taken and put in jail.
	They've hung people publicly for disagreeing with the Sharia law that they have over there, all kinds of things.
	But the saddest thing about it is nobody has been held accountable in the government for the murder of their own people.
	And like you said, it's probably over 100,000 people that have been murdered.
	And they're still fighting.
	They're fighting for freedom.
	And we should give them every kind of support we can.
	But they don't want our military there.
	I mean, that really is amazing that they want to do it on their own and presumably can do it.
	I mean, they are very strong.
	Now, have you, and all the time that you worked with Iran, which goes back, what, a number of years?
	Yes, sir.
	Have you ever seen the son of the Shah, the crown prince, raise a finger for them?
	No, I have not.
	He's raised a finger for himself.
	And I met him in Washington.
	He came to see me.
	Pleasant guy.
	But it was interesting, Mayor.
	The first thing he wanted was a photograph with me.
	Now, that kind of bothered me.
	I mean, he didn't know me.
	Why do you want a photograph with me?
	You know, we never got that photograph.
	But as you know, he wants to be, and I didn't agree.
	He wants to be in charge now.
	And I'm very cynical about that.
	We have to remember history.
	In 79, these same people now that are still fighting for liberty got rid of the shawl.
	His daddy did not like the shawl.
	And he was a dictator.
	He was a king, but he was a dictator.
	And the revolutionary process in 79 was to get rid of the shawl.
	Down, down with the shawl were the sounds in the streets.
	And they got rid of the shawl.
	But the problem was, after the revolution, the extremists in the revolutionary movement, there were several groups.
	MEK was one, but there was also these radicals.
	Go ahead.
	This is very important.
	People need to know this.
	The radicals, the radicals won, not the ones that wanted a secular government.
	They lost.
	Although they helped in the revolution, when the revolution was over, the shawl's gone.
	These folks were then persecuted by the radicals that took over the Ayatollahs.
	And now all these years later, the son of the Shah says, I should come and take over now.
	Well, these people, the Iranians, threw out the Shaws in 1979.
	They don't want the Shah family running their country because they were a dictator as well.
	And they made that decision.
	And so here he comes in trying to save the day.
	What has he been doing for 40 years?
	Helping them.
	He hasn't been in Iran, helping the people.
	He's been in different parts of the world living off the money, I think, from his family.
	I don't think he's had a real job.
	And now he shows up saying, put me in charge.
	I will have free elections.
	I think is what he's finally said.
	Well, I'm just not so sure about that.
	And I think the United States should be leery about putting the family back in charge.
	Remember, the United States backed the Shah.
	He was our guy when he was over there a long time ago.
	I mean, I remember, you're too young to remember all that, but I remember.
	I do remember.
	He was there.
	He was our guy.
	We supported the Shah.
	We brought him to the U.S. and all of that.
	Oh, too bad you're not still in Congress.
	Look at the knowledge and the experience.
	I don't think he should be the guy.
	We should figure out a way to help them have free elections, but let the Iranian people decide who they want to run their country.
	You're familiar with, and are you comfortable with the 10-point program of Madame Rajavi?
	Oh, yes, I think it's great.
	It's a great plan for any country that wants to be a democratic country.
	And Madame Rajavi, you know, she didn't think about this yesterday.
	This 10-point plan has been in the works for the MEK and her for years, 30, 40 years.
	She's had this same plan.
	It's been public.
	She's published it all over the world.
	This is what our plan is for our government.
	It's not just we're going to like to be in charge.
	Here's what we want.
	You know, we want a secular Iran, non-nuclear Iran, equal rights, talking about women.
	There are 10 points.
	Good for any country.
	And imagine this.
	She got it from the Declaration of Independence.
	Thomas Jefferson.
	So it's a good plan.
	I support that.
	It's a great idea.
	Let's help them get in charge of their own country and not decide who should be in charge.
	It's not our job to do that.
	We tried that once and let him work.
	Let them have a free and fair election.
	Put together, help to put together some kind of an interim government.
	So it's so the railroads run and the food gets delivered.
	And in six months, eight months, whatever the right time is, have a free and fair election.
	They are a very educated people.
	It's not as if I think they're, I think, and you may know this better than I do, but my impression is they're considerably more advanced than Iraq was.
	Oh, yes.
	As a group of people.
	Well, it's not saying a whole lot, but they are much more much more advanced.
	You know, these are historically what we record in Garda as the Persian.
	And a lot of them are in the United States.
	They're great patriots, the American, Iranian, Iranian Americans, which they're great American patriots.
	Like the Cubans in many ways.
	And they are very successful.
	They didn't come over here to live off the country.
	They come over here to make America great again.
	And they're doing that.
	And I know a lot of them and Very good friends.
	And like I said, the Iranian people, especially the young people that are still stuck in Iran, they love America.
	They love America.
	They do.
	They like us.
	This can't be said of a lot of folks.
	This could be another great, great change that'll start projecting our country in the direction it's going now under Trump.
	So let's hope it happens, huh?
	That's right.
	God bless you, Congressman.
	Thank you, Mayor.
	Great American, and you continue to really help us.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, Mayor.
	Good to talk to you.
	When they come from Texas, they really love this country, don't they?
	Something about Texas, I got to tell you, as a New Yorker, I used to go to Texas.
	I used to go to Texas and I spent a lot of time down.
	Then I had a law firm for 10 years that was based in Texas.
	But even before that, I would go there and they'd say, you feel a little uncomfortable here, you know, from New York, et cetera.
	I said, I got a lot more people who agree with me here than in New York.
	I mean, I get up and I give a speech.
	They actually applaud.
	They're like Americans like I am.
	You know, I mean, New York has had this problem long before Mamdani, this problem of being so damn left-wing and having so many communists hanging around.
	It's been a democratic city almost exclusively.
	Let's see.
	200 years.
	Almost 200 years.
	Almost 200 years.
	Maybe, what do we count, Ted, eight Republican mayors in that period of time?
	I was the 177th mayor in New York.
	And I was the eighth or ninth Republican.
	And I was only the third in the 20th century and only the second to remain a Republican, which because they get beaten down.
	So we want you to make sure you keep up with this, huh?
	I mean, this is important to watch every little thing here and to really be careful.
	Just be darn careful that we don't end up with this dictator slipped in that's just going to result in another revolution.
	The people aren't going to accept it.
	And a lot of the information that you're getting about the Ayatollah and the people, as Congressman Poe pointed out, a lot of it is just the usual, the reason why we're here, I guess I can only say lies, right?
	I mean, both guests from very different walks of life, one journalist for the Post and the other a very, very experienced, knowledgeable, world savvy congressman, expressed both the same feeling that the Shah is a fraud.
	And I am extremely angry at the tactics that they use.
	Look, I don't pay attention to getting attacked.
	You can go and attack me all you want.
	And this is only to just point out the perversity of the people who support the Jah.
	But the tweet or the X that they did on me, in which they said that there's no evidence that I was the subject of a death plot, that I'm making as if I'd make that up, when in fact there's all you have to do is go online and you'll come up.
	There is not as much reporting of the one in Albania.
	That is true, because Albania is a much more closed country.
	And the one in Paris was so much more of a spectacular event because they were going to hit 100,000 people.
	But I was the featured speaker at that event, the keynote speaker.
	And from the material that they had and the trial that they presented, I was one of their designated targets.
	Although I think we all would have been killed.
	You would have seen myself and Newt Gingrich and Senator Torricelli, as I said, and so many others.
	I think David Cameron from a former prime minister of Sweden, several high officials of the Italian government, French government, and of course, Madame Rajavi and her upper staff, and the people from other organizations.
	That's the picture of me speaking at the, yeah, and there is the proof that they say there's no proof that this, anything like this ever happened.
	Gosh, I think Ted pulled that up in about 30 seconds.
	So now, who did that?
	Who did that?
	It was done by the Shah's people, because from the very beginning, I've been very, very forthright and honest about the fact that the Shah would be like, it would be like going not from bad to worse, but from worse to almost as bad.
	I would have to put it that way.
	Certain people would be favored and certain people would be able to have more rights.
	Other people, if they opposed the Pahavi family, would be put in prison.
	The prison that's used for political prisoners was built by the Pahavi family.
	So the Ayatollah did not have to go purchase the instruments of terror and torture.
	When they took over Iran, they were dutifully supplied by the Pahavi family.
	You don't want this kind of family hijacking a beautiful revolution like this that, as Congressman Pope pointed out, would bring very, very great allies to the United States.
	On Thursday, Maria Corina Machado is going to come to the White House.
	It's going to be an interesting visit because the president, although expressing affection for her, said that he didn't think that she had the support, number one.
	Or did he also suggest it may be not the right strength for her to guide Venezuela?
	Certainly the support.
	Right, the support and a big part of it is, you know, will the military get behind her?
	Part of this is relying on some CIA military.
	Oh, boy.
	You know, please, CIA, don't kill me, but here's the truth.
	I told the president when he first came into office, he'd be an enormously successful president if he took the advice of the CIA and did the opposite.
	I mean, how often have they been right?
	They misguided him through the whole thing was with Maduro back in 18 and 19.
	They certainly were a terrible guide for Obama in Benghazi.
	It took them forever to find bin Laden, and they sure did a hell of an awful job with September 11 and the weapons of mass destruction.
	Need I say any more?
	And these are pretty much the 51 people who announced that Trump and I that are, that the hard drive that I had gotten of Hunter Biden had the earmarks of Russian collusion.
	Of course, these phony, lying, incompetent, un-American bums didn't even point out one example of an earmark of Russian anything.
	And it turned out to be 100% untrue and a betrayal of their country because that relevant information was not available to the American people when they voted and indicated if they did vote, there'd be a 20% shift.
	And the election that was eventually taken from him by phony paper ballots was taken from him also by fraud.
	And the fraud was carried out by the CIA.
	And the CIA has long, long corrupt relationships with the Pahavi family.
	They put them in there way back in the 50s so that they could extract oil and steal it.
	Well, Britain really led that.
	We were the copy.
	We were the copycat so that Britain would be able to steal oil from the people of Iran, which they did, proceeded to do for years.
	And it's one of the reasons they eventually got the Ayatollah, because there were enough people there that had bitterness toward the West because of what we did to them.
	So they went along with what appeared to be a democratic revolution, meaning a revolution in which there'd be an elected government.
	And then it was hijacked immediately by the Ayatollah.
	So we'll have to see how the president treats Machado.
	She has said only very positive things about him, including she says she's going to give him her Nobel Peace Prize because he's the one who deserves it.
	So, so I don't know.
	I don't know how this is going to turn out, because so far they've been acknowledging Delceie Del C. Del C, what's her last name again?
	Rodriguez.
	Yeah, Delcey Rodriguez as the acting president.
	A very dangerous situation since she is a murderer and a terrorist, but appears to be under our finger and control.
	Although there have been many incidents in this short period of time where she's gone and veered from that and put some very dangerous people in very critical positions, only to have Secretary of State Rubio have to change that.
	The problem is you're not going to find all of them.
	We're not there every day.
	She is running the government.
	We can pick up a lot of the things that she does, like she put a murderer in charge of the secret police and torture him.
	Now, whether he's been removed or not yet, I don't know.
	And it is creating a certain degree of cynicism with the people of Venezuela, who had expected that at least the upper guard of Maduro's government would be gone.
	And she is Maduro's government.
	She was his number two person and a very loyal number two person.
	And so she ratted on him.
	Now, Rodriguez is clearly a flawed and dangerous choice.
	Machado, on the other hand, actually would not be the president.
	She was taken off the ballot by illegally by Maduro, but her party won.
	And therefore, the designated president, let me see if I have his name here.
	But she would in fact be the person.
	The party does look to her as the leader, because in fact, people knew they were voting for her when the election took place.
	And she won by a very large margin, like 30%, 30%.
	Now, she has also supported Trump's strikes on the drug vessels.
	She has pitched proposals for vast U.S. investment in Venezuela.
	She's been on Donald Trump Jr.'s podcast, and she's suggested, more than suggested, that Maduro was involved in the fixing of the 2020 American election.
	Now, you should know, I know a lot of people get very, you know, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	The reality is there's no question that the heads of the companies that were allegedly involved in this had all had a meeting in Venezuela and have all done work in Venezuela.
	And the Venezuelan elections are notoriously crooked.
	So there is a connection, how deep and whether it was proven.
	And I was always one that thought, if we're going to prove the theft of the election, we're going to do it with the paper ballots because the machines are too complex in the way in which they've covered it up.
	And also the numbers, the margins weren't great enough.
	By and large, the vote from the machines, altered though it might have been, was delivered by the time you got to the counting of the paper ballots.
	And he had won.
	Now, they may have cheated on the machines, or they may not have, but they didn't, whatever they did, they didn't do enough to win.
	They needed the phony paper ballots to put it over the top.
	For example, let's just take Georgia.
	He was ahead on the machines in Georgia.
	And it took the paper ballots that were being printed in a factory about three blocks away from the arena.
	And to this day, no one on behalf of Donald Trump has seen those.
	No one's had many, I've not been able to touch it.
	None of his staff.
	And that's what is now a subject of a battle between the United States government and Georgia.
	The Republican state of Georgia is still protecting those ballots because it's the same governor, the same governor who was in charge when the election went on with the same Secretary of State who announced that the election was fine.
	And it turned out that when he did it, in his desk were 48 specific issues found by a group that he had put together for himself to monitor the election.
	And the grabment of those 48 was, there'd be no way to tell if the election were on us because there were so many ballots where they had lost chain of custody.
	That's what it said.
	That didn't come out until two years later.
	And it was discovered by John Solomon, not by the crooked Secretary of State, who's now running for governor, Rasenberg.
	Yeah.
	And clearly was involved in covering this up.
	And I think since then, I've developed even more evidence of that.
	So it's going to be very interesting to listen to Madame Machado.
	And I hope, I hope, I don't know her.
	I've just seen her.
	You know, I've seen her with her ceremony and admired her bravery and her ability to be able to get out of Venezuela where they almost killed her.
	But it'd be interesting to see how she performs on what she's like, because she would be a far safer choice than Del Ce Murderer.
	So shall we take a short break?
	And we'll be right back.

	Welcome back.
	The shooting and the death that took place of Nicole Good, which the left tried to make into another George Floyd incident, was indeed a George Floyd incident.
	Except they didn't carry it off this time.
	It was an incident in which the full facts regarding both the action that happened and the background of the person who was killed was not revealed to people.
	In the case of Floyd, they were able to pull that off and have an entire nation explode over the death of a man who was a danger to his own family, as well as the entire community, had lived a life of crime almost thoroughly and was then glorified almost as a folk hero to children so they would think of leading a life like him.
	The reality is that this Nicole Goode was a woman who seems to have been very troubled.
	She was the mother of three children, two of whom were not in her custody and two of whom she could not have seen often because she was very far away from them.
	When it was originally talked about, it was she was going to pick up her children at school.
	Child's three years old, I guess, at some kind of daycare center.
	Might have been better if she were reading to her child rather than engaging in de-arresting, which is just an euphemistic way of saying, trying to break criminals free.
	Now, here's what she sacrificed her life for.
	Here's a picture of a representative group of the thousand that ICE arrested.
	This is it.
	She saved, she risked her life for these people who all are to the to the last one of them.
	And they're all together.
	I don't know if it's a thousand agents or they arrested a thousand.
	But they arrested hundreds.
	This is just a small sample of them.
	This includes a Somali national with arrests for drug trafficking and credit card fraud, a Mexican for abuse of children and battery, an illegal from Thailand who possessed 200 tablets of ecstasy and was engaged in the sale of it, several wife beaters.
	These are the people that she was fighting for to keep them in the United States so they could beat more wives, sell more ecstasy, abuse more children.
	Obviously, a misguided individual.
	And then what else did you expect would happen if you drove your two and a half ton vehicle into an ICE agent at the behest of your wife saying drive, baby, drive, drive into a human being and kill him is what she was saying.
	And to this day, she has not been arrested.
	The wife or girl, whatever, has not been arrested.
	And I don't know why they're delaying doing that.
	So Greenland will not accept the US takeover, they say, and they're asking for NATO's protection should we invade them.
	Gee, isn't that, isn't NATO us?
	Yeah, we'll just pull out, I guess.
	Well, NATO is a combination of us and President Trump's.
	We've gotten them to.
	I just think the right proposal wins the day here.
	And I think the right proposal, and I think the way it's phrased is important.
	You just can't offer them money for being part of the United States.
	But you can offer them money in order to transition into the United States, which we've done before.
	So you could literally, certainly for a market price that's worth it, with about 58 billion, right?
	You could buy this place.
	And that'd give everybody a million dollars if they voted for being a possession or a state.
	I don't know.
	That might get you the majority.
	Right.
	Far better than trying to war, right?
	Yeah, that's.
	And I don't know of any statute that prevents that.
	It's not, it, it's been done before.
	It's in the nature of giving people enough money so that they can up now there's part of the United States, the quality of life in Greenland, which is quite low.
	It's isolated and has very few tourists.
	I'm not even sure we have a flight there.
	I think you have to go through.
	Yeah, I think you got to go through Europe.
	We do the Iceland.
	Yeah, but I don't think it's a flight from Iceland to Greenland that we can take.
	I can't imagine that.
	I can't imagine that they don't fly between Iceland and Greenland.
	I've flown to Iceland and Iceland is quite beautiful.
	Iceland is quite a beautiful place.
	Here's the strange thing that you got to learn.
	Iceland is green and Greenland is icy.
	I don't know why they ended up being named that, but now that.
	No, you know the myth or the legend has it.
	Whoever had settled Iceland didn't want others to come here.
	So they called it Iceland.
	They called it Iceland and then Greenland.
	They called Iceland, I guess, because it was icy.
	If you want to come here.
	Yeah, it's kind of like the mafia, you know.
	Well, Fat Tony was really fat, but they would often do that.
	Hey, Slim.
	Oh, Slim, yeah.
	Okay, yeah.
	You call me?
	Yeah.
	So the president has, of course, had great success now in stopping the drug trafficking, both coming over the border and also coming by sea.
	What he wants to do, because there are other ways of getting it in, surreptitious ways of getting it in.
	And we also have remaining a very, very large Mexican organized crime group that wasn't that large before Biden.
	He wants to work with the president of Mexico, Scheinbaum, to eliminate the cartels.
	She's going nuts, which is about as strong an indication of what everyone has said about her and her predecessor, that they're owned by the cartels.
	Her predecessor was Andres Manuel Opus Obrador, often described as AMLP.
	Both of them probably, I can't be sure.
	This is probably with the right intentions, but no freedom of action.
	But both of them also very, very disturbed communists.
	So she's rejected an offer from President Trump to use the U.S. military to clean out the cartels.
	And the president is very unhappy with the security situation right on our border.
	And they had a conversation on Monday.
	And we'll have to see.
	The U.S. believes that Scheinbaum's party is very strongly controlled by the cartels and that she just doesn't have any room here.
	The Cuban president, the Cuban president, sounds a little like Maduro, and he says that they're going to fight to the last drop of blood to keep it atheistic, communistic, and a dictatorship.
	Whereas Trump has said, might want to make a deal before it's too late.
	The Diaz Canal, that's the name of the successor of Fidel Castro, says the following asinine statement.
	Cuba is a free, independent, and sovereign nation where everyone's starving to death.
	He doesn't say that part.
	No one dictates what we do, except for the fact that if you could bring us a little food, it really would be appreciated.
	Cuba does not aggress.
	That's bullshit.
	It's aggressed upon by the United States for six, six years.
	We haven't been there since the Bay of Pigs, as far as I can recall.
	I have a feeling if we go back, my friend, Mr. Canal, it's not going to be the Bay of Pigs.
	I don't know, maybe instead of that, we should make an offer of food and tell him overthrow.
	We'll give you the food if you throw him out.
	Right.
	So.
	So this Maduro Chavez regime has ruined, devastated what was on its way to being the richest country in South America.
	I met a woman the other day who grew up in Venezuela of the 70s and 80s.
	And that's when the national magazines in the United States featured numerous articles about the future of Venezuela was so bright.
	And even though it was a much smaller country than, let's say, Brazil, it was a country of vast resources and enormously industrious people and on its way to great wealth.
	And then along come the communists.
	And what happens?
	They do the same thing to that.
	They do everything they touch.
	And here we go ahead and elect a communist in New York.
	And we have American kids who believe that communism is all wonderful.
	It has never, ever, ever not ended in bankruptcy, starvation of people, unbelievable violence.
	And there's a simple reason for it.
	It defies human nature.
	You can't require people to work to work to the extent of their ability and then distribute the food and everything else to the extent of their need and not take account of the hard work of certain people.
	And since God did not make all people perfect, the incredible laziness of others, because they're just not going to spend their time working and taking that food out of their families, particularly when food becomes scarce.
	The president made a very strong statement, clearly, clearly directed to Candace Owen and Nick Fuentes that anti-Semitism will not be accepted within the MAGA movement or the Republican Party.
	He's the leader.
	He can decide that, and he has.
	He says there's nothing more hateful than that, that he is, he loves the Jewish people, both Israel and the Jewish people.
	His daughter, after all, is Jewish.
	His grandchildren are Jewish.
	And he specifically was referring to Fuentes and Owens and the people and the stupid people following them.
	He didn't mention any of them, and he didn't mention Tucker Carlson, but Tucker Carlson was at the White House last week.
	And the one statement he made there was that Tucker Carlson was just doing an interview.
	And so far, there hasn't been an apparent open break with Tucker Carlson.
	Tucker Carlson did play it very cute.
	The problem for Tucker Carlson is he did a completely dishonest interview of Fuentes, as he did of Putin, as he did of the historian who says that Churchill caused the Second World War.
	Tucker has done any number of these very, very odd, strange, warped interviews that make it sound like he's anti-Semitic, even anti-American, posing as a great patriot.
	And just exactly what's going on, I don't know, but the president obviously has a lot of affection for him and feels a certain amount of loyalty to him.
	And he isn't directly in the same category as Owens and Fuentes.
	Not to mention Owens' unbelievable warped suggestions that Charlie Kirk was killed either by his wife or by his organization.
	The motive for which is so easily determined that I'm surprised because they always told Candace, even if she is a warped person, was a very intelligent person.
	This is an organization that fired her.
	It's not hard to figure out your motive, Candace.
	But how do you become such a hater of Jews?
	What's going on inside you?
	And how are you taking this widow and trying to destroy her life?
	Why?
	Because you got fired?
	You think you should be there?
	Obviously, whatever your talents, there's a good moral reason why you shouldn't be there.
	And you're displaying it to the whole world.
	And I'm glad the president caught up with it.
	The amount of fraud that goes on in this country is unreal.
	It's just unreal.
	The Secretary of the Treasury revealed a bunch of them in the spirit of Elon Musk.
	$84 million in housing payments in Minnesota, which is a drop in the bucket to Minnesota, were made to people that didn't exist.
	Pretty interesting, huh?
	I mean, and there's a whole study being made of all the money stolen by Fauci.
	We'll have to see how much that is.
	And the TANF money that was also stolen.
	I don't know.
	He estimates that about 10% of it is straight out fraud.
	I think it's closer to 50.
	But one can't tell.
	The fraud case, or no, I'm sorry.
	The perjury case involving Powell, I think has more to do with Congress's annoyance at his hiding things and keeping things from them and the fact that he's trying to build a Taj Mahal when he made it appear as if he was going to build a tent.
	I don't think that's a case that's going to go much further than his answering the questions and being lectured to about his dishonesty.
	I don't know that it's at the level of criminal wrongdoing since it is a government project and not the first government project that was way over budget.
	I am surprised that the president was so, or it is so public, that the president is disappointed with Pam Bondi.
	This administration, unlike the last one, has been notoriously disciplined about this kind of thing.
	I mean, I'm sure it's not just Pam Bondi that it would be unnatural that he isn't disappointed with some of the performances in the administration.
	I mean, it's just human having run an administration not of the same complexity, but similar complexity.
	There never was a day that there wasn't some disappointment about somebody and some elation about somebody else.
	But I was very fortunate to have an administration that did very, very little leaking.
	Some of these administrations leak this stuff all the time.
	And sometimes they leak, when they do that, they leak false stuff.
	They'll say, you know, the mayor thinks Ted is doing a poor job, but I think Ted's doing a great job.
	And they just leak it.
	They just leak it because they want Ted's job.
	Now, why they think that, put me in the position of the president, right?
	Why they think I would get rid of somebody I think is doing a good job because they leak it to the Washington Post.
	Well, that says, that used to work when the Washington Post.
	That used to work when the Washington Post ran the government.
	It used to work when you didn't have President Trump or you would obviously operate similarly.
	Or President Reagan or someone where the Washington Post doesn't run the government.
	Bingo.
	Exactly.
	But even some Republicans, right?
	Yeah, well, some Republicans suck up to the Washington.
	Maybe not.
	Maybe not nowadays.
	So I don't know.
	You and the president are the exception to that.
	I don't know how to how to read this.
	I mean, I don't know how to read how accurate this is.
	This is a very big headline, and I don't recall the president or Caroline denying it.
	Okay.
	What's the headline?
	Complaints in recent weeks center on failed prosecutions by Pam Bondi.
	Now, when this has happened, for example, happened to Pete Hagsett, right?
	She was very, very quick to come out and say this is absolutely untrue.
	And it's happened to a few others.
	And she has been used by the president to come out.
	I'm sure the president instructed her to do it.
	Or she did it by asking the president.
	And I don't recall Caroline making a comment saying we have full and complete confidence in Pam Bondi.
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	That is almost irrigor when these things appear.
	Right.
	Almost just absolutely happens.
	Sometimes you don't believe it.
	I do because I know they're pretty straight about this stuff.
	But I mean, sometimes you don't believe it, but at least it's done.
	Sometimes it's done, and the next day they fire him.
	Right, right.
	But this, yeah, but it always usually comes out.
	So I'm really, really shocked if it hasn't.
	Now, maybe I missed it.
	So I want to be careful.
	Yeah, let's let me look.
	You want to look before we sign off?
	Yeah.
	I got just a few more things to do because it'd be a shame if it was done.
	I hate to do this to Pam.
	She's a friend.
	And I really am in no position.
	I'm going to read through this more carefully.
	I didn't have the time and I'll give you my opinion about it.
	But at least initially, I don't, I don't, I'm not in that school that thinks that I don't know if they think she should be removed or we'll check this out.
	It's an intense campaign to remove her.
	Who do they say is behind this campaign?
	Well, they don't.
	I think this is all, of course, this is why it's disgusting.
	Because whatever you think of Pam Bondi, and I am not in the school that thinks ill of her, I think less of the people who leaked it.
	I know they're scoundrels.
	You don't do this.
	I mean, give this information to the president.
	Let the president evaluate.
	I don't even know what you're accomplishing.
	You're not going to put more pressure on the president getting rid of her because it's in the Washington Post.
	The last thing in the world he's going to do is fire somebody over something.
	This is either true or it isn't true.
	And the people in the administration would know that.
	Well, it does appear that both the president and Susie Wiles are defending Pam Bondi.
	Oh, yes, President Trump said Pam is doing an excellent job.
	She has been my friend for many years.
	Tremendous progress is being made against radical left lunatics who are good at only one thing: cheating in elections and the crimes they commit.
	Susie Wiles says, Bondi has been my friend for decades.
	She's incredibly talented, smart, and hardworking.
	Oh, she has some cal from Florida.
	They're both from Florida.
	The Trump administration is fortunate to have her at the helm of the Justice Department.
	Well, I mean, when those statements are made, you don't know because they have to be made.
	But when they're not made, you know for sure.
	So I'm glad they were made.
	So we have to put this story in the category of we don't know if it's true or not.
	Right.
	Because the White House did come forward and did defend her.
	And it could be they did that out of being nice.
	That happens because they want it to be a peaceful, nice withdrawal or separation.
	Or they could have just as well done it because it's a bunch of crap from a bunch of troublemakers.
	I have no way of independently assessing that.
	I'll read it really, really carefully because sometimes I can tell who leaked it based on the information that came out.
	Although a quick reading of it, it's kind of generic.
	It's hard to say who leaked it.
	Zandami, Zandami, Zandami, the communist in New York.
	I mean, every day he's off to siding in with the nurses.
	Right.
	Going on strike with the nurses is absolutely out of his mind.
	How can you do without nurses?
	How about the people in the hospitals?
	They're not dying.
	Isn't there a short?
	I mean, you would say, oh, you get other people.
	Isn't there a shortage of nurses today?
	We hear about it all the time.
	There's a shortage of nurses.
	So if they go on, if there's a shortage of nurses, we don't have enough with all the nurses anyway.
	And then the largest contingent of nurses go on strike.
	You know, people aren't going to die.
	Aren't they useless?
	They don't really do what we think they do.
	You shouldn't be encouraging nurses to strike.
	You should be encouraging nurses to try to have some kind of a bargaining mechanism.
	But there are certain jobs that are critical enough that they should not be subjected to strikes.
	Doctors should not be able to strike.
	Law enforcement officials and the military.
	As mayor, did you ever have a situation like that?
	None ever lasted more than two days.
	Do you think part of it was they knew how you'd react?
	I would destroy them.
	And they knew that.
	I would destroy them.
	If they did this to me, I would say, if you're not back at work in two days, you're gone.
	And then I would go hire nurses from all over the country.
	And you were involved with the airport.
	Air traffic.
	Well, I learned it from Reagan.
	I was the lawyer along with two lawyers handled that myself.
	And Mr. Olson.
	Ted Olson.
	Yet another example of that.
	And I had two strikes, and they were over in two days.
	One was a strike of cab drivers.
	What was your leverage?
	And they wanted to have their, well, they really were unhappy about the rules that I had set down.
	Like I required that they had to learn English and I required they had to pass an exam about where things were in the city.
	So if I got in the car at Kennedy Airport and said, take me to the Empire State Building, they didn't take me to a dump in New Jersey and that they had to speak English.
	And then I also refused to give them an increase in allocation until they modernized the cabs, until they went into a program of modern cabs and didn't have a bunch of three, four, and five-year-old rickety, dangerous cabs around.
	So they went on strike when I did that.
	And I said, well, this is a good idea.
	First of all, it'd be really nice to see the city without cabs for a day or two, since you caused most of the accident to the city.
	And secondly, we have a very, very large, growing private livery business, mostly run by Haitians.
	And if you're not back in two days, I'm going to empower them to go into the city and pick up and pick up passengers.
	And also, since I work for Ronald Reagan, I have to add to this, you'll never be hired back.
	So you're finished, go find another job.
	They were back in a day and a half.
	In fact, I went out of town that day.
	Everybody, I never went out of town when there was a crisis, but I said, this is no crisis.
	This is great.
	And then when I came back, everybody told me what a great day it was.
	The city was so easy to get around.
	It's easy to walk, easy to take a subway.
	So I said, you know, maybe I'm not going to have to hire that many people.
	You learn how nice.
	And I started making contracts with the Haitian.
	I was ready on Wednesday to put them in place and they were all back on Wednesday.
	That was one strike that I had.
	Then I had a strike, and it really wasn't as much a strike as it was a contract dispute.
	The legal aid lawyers who don't work for the city directly, but work under a contract.
	They work for the Legal Aid Society, and the city contracts with the Legal Aid Society to handle indigent defendants, which is a constitutional right that people have.
	They went on strike.
	And I say, you can't go on strike.
	People can't get arraigned.
	And then we could be criminals that get let out of jail.
	We'll have like, oh, we'll do what Cuomo eventually, Cuomo and de Blasio eventually you'd put all the criminals out on the street.
	Would have happened a lot earlier if it wasn't for me.
	Yeah, I said, and since you are lawyers, you're going to understand this really well.
	And this is a contract.
	You just breached the contract.
	You didn't come to work today on purpose.
	So I'm going to do the same thing I did with the taxi drivers because we can hold these people for two days.
	You better be back on Wednesday.
	Whoever doesn't come back on Wednesday never gets rehired.
	And I will now start contracting with other law firms to handle this.
	So we had a group of law firms had to pay a little extra money.
	And we got rid of the ones who they sued me.
	The ones who we never hired back sued me and we won.
	Wow.
	Because it was a contract.
	It's like, you know, it's like I agree to pay you and I don't.
	You don't have to give me what I bought.
	Right.
	This wasn't, it was more of a contract dispute than a labor dispute.
	But we use the same principle, which is what you should do with these nurses.
	I mean, if you do take on a job that's critical to life and death, there's certain options you don't have.
	You know, if you're a police officer, you do not have the option of striking.
	If you're a member of the military, you don't have the option of striking.
	If you're a mayor, you don't have the option of striking.
	You might not like the fact that they don't pay you enough, or Gracie Mansion maybe isn't big enough for you.
	But you can't go on strike for a bigger Gracie mansion.
	Sorry.
	We could go on strike to get rid of the communist that runs the cities.
	The Supreme Court of the United States held a hearing yesterday on a transgender athlete case.
	And Justice Alito pressed one of the lawyers arguing and focused on defining women in the context of trans female athletes, particularly competing in world sports, and made it pretty clear that he thought the whole thing was nuts, that men could compete in women's sports and that we couldn't figure out the difference.
	Now, that must have made Justice Jackson feel kind of weird because she's the one who announced a few years ago when her confirmation hearings were going on.
	She was asked by one of the best senators, Marcia Bykeburn, can you define a woman?
	And she said, I'm not a biologist.
	So we'll have to see what transpires tomorrow.
	I do think that we're on every hour notice that something's going to happen in Iran unless they cave in quickly.
	But if they continue, particularly if they continue to increase the pressure on the demonstrators, meaning beating them and shooting them and executing them like they're doing with this young man, the president is as serious about this as he was about Venezuela.
	And I would say just keep your radio and television on.
	And we'll see what happens.
	We'll see what happens there.
	And then on Thursday, that's, of course, two days away, we'll see what happens with his meeting with Machado, which I hope goes really, really well, because at least I personally think that's a better choice for Venezuela.
	Well, what do you think of the football?
	I've got to ask him about football.
	We're in football season.
	And before we get off, he is very, very despondent because his Packers are not there and his hero, Aaron Rodgers, showed he was 42 years old.
	I don't hold anything against him on that.
	It's really an and that Brady could do it is the exception.
	At 42 years, you could see.
	I mean, I know Aaron, you know, I know as well as you do, but I followed Aaron Rodgers quite a bit.
	He played the Giants a lot, right?
	Aaron Rodgers was a very elusive quarterback.
	He wasn't really a runner in the pure sense of a runner, but he could run.
	And he was always more mobile than Eli.
	And it was one of those things that, although I do think Eli was a better passer, Ted.
	Who than who?
	Aaron Rodgers.
	If Aaron Rodgers had the protection that Eli had, he'd have half the records in the ass.
	Same thing with Brady.
	Brady went whole seasons with nine sacks.
	Eli would have nine in a game and win.
	The best picture of Eli I have in storage, unfortunately.
	And it's a picture of him throwing that crazy pass that was caught on the helmet in the first Super Bowl where we beat the Patriots.
	The real, that was a lucky catch.
	The real genius of that is he's got one of the Patriot linemen on his arm when he throws 40 yards.
	You know how strong you have to be to do that?
	And puts it right on his head.
	Yeah, those are some of the most memorable catches.
	The guy is back here, and there's this 270-pound guy.
	You haven't watched it.
	It's the 270.
	No, Tyree was in the second Super Bowl.
	Okay.
	That was not a lucky pass.
	That was one of the greatest passes ever made.
	It had to be put exactly between, which one is this?
	The first one was in the middle of the field.
	No.
	That's the, yeah, that's it right there.
	That's the pass.
	That's Coughlin, great coach.
	But see if you can get.
	Is that it?
	Yeah.
	Beautiful the way you took it away from him, huh?
	Right.
	You see?
	So you see that guy coming at him?
	Ted.
	When he let go of the ball, the guy had his arm.
	Yeah.
	He pushed through his arm to throw it.
	Yeah.
	The other catch you want to look at is the helmet catch, and that's David Tyree.
	And it hits him on the helmet.
	That was the first Super Bowl the Giants won.
	Yeah.
	And it hits him on the helmet, and he caught it on his helmet like this.
	So that one you would call, in some ways, a lucky one.
	Yeah.
	This other one was just a great pass.
	He put it right there.
	Yeah.
	Giving the guy a chance to catch it.
	Also, the touchdown pass that won the game was quite good, too.
	It was.
	We have that.
	So in the second Super Bowl, Brady had nine in a row in the first half, passes in a row.
	Right.
	Eli had 12 in a row in the second.
	Wow.
	I think this is a touchdown right here.
	Yeah, well, that's Plexico Burrows.
	With 35 seconds left to win the Super Bowl.
	Must have been exciting.
	Yeah.
	You couldn't.
	Noticed the guy couldn't keep up with him at all.
	Had he kept up with him, Plexico.
	Oh, man.
	Plexico was four inches taller and about 10 times stronger.
	He could catch it over anyone.
	The Giants got him in Pittsburgh.
	Yeah, I remember that.
	He helped win the first Super Bowl.
	And another thing, another credit to Eli, he won the second Super Bowl with completely different pass receivers.
	Unlike the other great quarterbacks, he had no one pass receiver that stayed with him for his entire career.
	He was constantly working on training new pass receivers.
	But he used to have them come to his camp in the spring, and they'd work all spring so they could anticipate each other.
	Well, we're getting late, and we're keeping you up late.
	And there are a lot of other things I'm sure for you to do.
	I hope it was helpful to get a lot of this background information, particularly the way we're being snowed in a very dangerous way about this guy, Pahlavi.
	And it really is deja vu all over again.
	Thank you, Yogi Berra, when in fact, this is the same mistake we made in the 1950s with his crooked, brutal somebody perfectly capable of unjustifiable homicide, his father.
	And whatever he is, he certainly is a near-do-well, as Congressman Poe pointed out, who's been involved with MEK with me, and even longer than me, he's never lifted a finger to help Iran under circumstances of threat or any other.
	And because I said it was under circumstances of threat, the Shah's people went and lied about me in a defamatory text.
	And if I could figure out who did it, I probably would sue them.
	Right now, I can only hope that we will figure out who did it.
	But the cowards, of course, didn't put their names on it.
	But there's no reason why I shouldn't.
	I mean, all it would have taken to find out it was untrue is just put my name in, put it in Paris and put in Iranian attack on Giuliani.
	And you'd get the picture that he showed you, front page, guy under, I don't know which, there are a number of them.
	There's one when he was convicted, too.
	Yep.
	So let's pray.
	Let's pray that this whole thing in Iran finally turns the corner and we get rid of the Muslim reign of terror in Iran, where they are interpreting Mohammed as if he really should follow what he says.
	And let's pray for the people in Israel.
	Right now, it looks like they're going back with Hamas, but it doesn't look like the whole thing is breaking out.
	All the others are staying out of it.
	And let's pray for the people of Ukraine.
	I think this is a horrible waste of life now by the Russians.
	It's so damn unnecessary to do these killings.
	I mean, whatever they won, they won.
	Whatever they didn't win, they didn't win.
	Somebody should make an accommodation based on that.
	And for the people of the United States, particularly our ICE agents, who are being, the emotional atmosphere to get disturbed people to kill them or run into them with big vehicles is so great.
	And it's being done deliberately.
	And these people are really, really sick people who are doing this.
	So pray for us, God, please, and deliver us from all of this and give our president the strength that he needs to get us through.
	You've given him so much strength.
	And we're fortunate that you saved him and that you helped guide him.
	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.
