Trump's Mission: Confront the Economic Jackasses 00:05:59
America's mayor.
Live and live.
And for once we're right.
For once, once we figured out where we are, we're back in Palm Beach.
Behind us is Palm Beach Florida, the uh, winter home of the 47th president, and possibly on his way to being the greatest president of the United States, Donald J.
Trump, who may very well be on an airplane right now on his way to meet all of the self-important jackasses who have ruined the world economy, who meeted Navos and pretend that they run the world and they have made all of the mistakes.
Now don't even think about America.
We hardly ever follow them, and when we have a Democrat we do, but by and large we straighten them out all the time and do things differently.
And but I mean, they're the ones who have ruined Germany and England and France and made the EU a joke, and they believe in one world government.
They are.
They're a strange combination.
Some of them are pure, straight out and out capitalists I mean communists but some of them are like these authoritarian capitalists, which really isn't a capitalist at all.
It's like, yeah, we'll have a free, we'll have a free economy, but I'll run it.
I'm Jamie Dimon, I'll be in charge of it because I got more money than you have and I can fuck you any way I want to.
Basically, their take on the world economy has been, if you go look at their predictions and you go look at what they write and you go look at anything else you'd like to look at I don't know what else you'd like to look at you will find that they're basically wrong four out of five times.
If they were weathermen, even they would be fired as weathermen.
The station owner would not put up with it.
But the president's gonna go there because the president has done a really has done a great job this time around, faking it I mean faking going to all the places where uh, he doesn't dislike them.
I think he likes them in a way, but he does think they're jackasses.
Well, I know he thinks they're jackasses.
He's told, he's told us and uh, they basically don't know what the hell they're talking about and uh, they make it up.
So uh, we're gonna have to see what he has to say to them.
I fear that a lot of the discussion which could have been, could it have been useful to I don't know, is anything I mean right maybe, maybe i'm being silly um, I am.
Uh, this probably is going to be more fun than it would otherwise because of Greenland.
Because all the rest of the issues they talk about, they'd be all wrong.
And we've just typical it would be like we'd be talking to the to the idiots who just don't understand capitalism, they don't understand an economy like ours, they don't understand an economy with people who like to work, they don't understand an economy with that is uh they don't understand a country.
Look, Europe doesn't have a country like us who has that big middle, there's no middle Italy, there's no middle France, you don't you don't have uh uh you don't have uh uh cows and farms and you know that take up hundreds and thousands of acres all throughout the middle of your country.
You don't have all this rural population, you don't some of you have like the equivalent of mountain people in Scotland, and some of you have some mountain people in Italy and Greece, but then you don't have you don't have uh you don't have all the people in the desert, you don't have a desert.
We got all of it, and we've learned how to put it together where the end result is that the whole is much greater than the parts.
Usually, that's when we're working together.
And uh, for that, people say about the president they give him too much responsibility for the economy.
They usually say that when a president is a failure, and then they say when a president is not, oh wow, he really knew how to direct the economy.
Now, the reality is that the president doesn't direct the economy the way Xi Jinming directs the economy in China.
Xi Jinming has a problem, a big one.
It reflected itself this year, and they are losing ground on the United States, big time.
The prediction that they're going to meet us and pass us in 2049 has now been put off until the end of the century by the communist professors who are dying to see China beat us out so that we would no longer go to church, we would no longer have families, they could take our children and process them any way they wanted, maybe make them, maybe substitute, maybe kill them and substitute robots for them if they didn't like them.
Gracie Mansion Debates 00:05:04
Like if we have a kid that has, if they think the kid has autism, maybe why waste the money on the kid?
Why don't we just kill him and replace him with a robot?
Right now, you don't think that's possible, Ted?
You know, of course it's possible.
I was reading, I'm in the process of reading the entire Bible this year.
And so I'm on Genesis, right?
Right.
And I read various versions of it.
Bishop Barron's is the best.
Bishop Baron, I got to tell you, I love you.
Okay.
I mean, in a manly way.
I tell you the joke, right?
Right.
About my guy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll tell everybody this joke.
You want this joke?
So I was, I would often have events at my house, Gracie Mansion, and we had a great big ballroom.
See, we had a ballroom even before Trump had a ballroom.
And Trump was in that ballroom many times.
And we had this young man.
I'm not going to tell you his name.
I don't know if he wants to be identified.
Well, actually, There's a reason for it.
But we had this man, a great guy, fabulous guy, unusual.
And he, my political people loved him because it would be like having about 50 people with us.
This guy could get a crowd going like we'd be in a parade, right?
He'd march along on the side of the parade.
He'd be in back of everybody and he'd start yelling, Mayor, Mayor, Mayor.
And the whole crowd would be going, Mayor, Mayor, great mayor, great mayor, best mayor, best.
Oh man, and he had a voice that never, never, never quit.
So obviously we loved him.
This was like a, this is an asset in a city like New York, where you do a lot of retail campaigning and you do a lot of, and you do as a mayor.
A mayor is a mayor has to be one of the people.
You know, when De Blasio tried to try to knife and fork his pizza, they made fun of him, particularly supposedly an Italian, right?
He was an Italian communist.
Italian communists don't like pizza.
So I would have him occasionally at Gracie Mansion, and there was always a debate on my staff, the wild ones and the careful ones, right?
Right.
And I'm going to not even tell you who were the wild ones in the care.
We don't want, he shouldn't be at Gracie Mansion.
He's for parades.
He's for outdoor events.
He's for sporting events.
He's not for these more intimate, sophisticated events at Gracie Mansion, which could be the Heart Association or, you know, the Daughters of the Revolution or Seeing Eyes for the Blind or the Mickey Mantle Foundation or something like that.
Okay.
He shouldn't be there at those.
Then I had the other group that thought he should be everywhere because he got this crowd excited.
And I personally loved him.
I loved him.
Every time I see him, I kiss him, grab him and kiss him.
I'll also tell you another thing about him, which I shouldn't say.
He was a strange guy, a little different, but he would really embarrass the hell out of all my young men.
Every time he showed up, he would show up a beautiful, beautiful date.
I don't know where he found him.
He would show up with, you know, not Melania Trump, but something like Melania Trump.
He'd show up with this beautiful date, and she'd be hanging all over him.
And he wasn't a bad, I'm not saying he was a bad looking guy, but he's a little strange.
And then all of a sudden, he would start yelling, even in these sophisticated crowds, you know.
And so they would get into it.
And then one time he's doing this one.
I'm getting ready to finish.
And he said, Rudy, I love you.
Rudy, I love you, but not in a homosexual way.
Well, you got to say that, especially at a concern.
We are Republican, I suppose.
Ahead Of The Curve 00:15:22
And this was 30 years ago.
You don't have to really make that distinction.
They have a lot of, they have a lot of misconceptions about me, and they have a lot of prejudices, but that's not one of them.
Oh, you were always known as being ahead of the curve on uh no, those issues.
No no, I was definitely pro, pro gay rights, but I mean I don't uh, given three marriages and a few other things uh that I will not mention, I don't think I was ever, ever seen as uh oh, that was an issue.
Okay yeah, so we have.
We have with us a very special guest, unbelievable because uh uh, Sienna Sadian, who is a policy advocate uh, for the organization of Iranian American communities.
I've seen you, Sienna, on TV, and you're a very, very articulate man.
Hi, Mayor.
He's also a GD candidate at the University of Virginia.
Well, good luck.
Good luck to you on that.
But tell us a little bit about your background, and then we have some very important questions to you about what's going on in Iran, which is very dangerous, but I find very exciting.
Hello, Mayor Giuliani.
It's great to be with you.
I've seen you many times at our events over the years.
I believe last time might have been around this time at the Northerners event in DC.
But it's always been fantastic to see the tremendous support from folks like yourself over the years.
It's wonderful to look back and think about all the troubles that the opposition has gone through over the past several decades and just how resilient it's been.
And a lot of this has been thanks to the large support from folks like yourself and other folks in the American government and other dignitaries.
For example, I think back to the challenges we had around Ashraf and the relocation to Albania.
So I want to say thank you for that.
And it's great to join you at this very, very pressing time.
As for background on myself, I grew up in the United States.
I was born and raised in Kansas to two parents who came from Iran.
So I had never had the opportunity actually to visit Iran myself, thanks to the dictatorship of the mullahs and our support for the Iranian resistance has made it very difficult to go back.
But I've, one, grown up with stories about the traumas that folks have experienced, both under the current regime of the Ayatollahs, but also, of course, under the regime of the Shah before that and the true torture, the repression of speech, the political repression, the basically now we have gender apartheid going on in Iran.
It's hearing those struggles and hearing that there is an organized opposition in the form of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, whom I've had to the great privilege in my life to get to know many of the young members of the National Council of Resistance of Iran.
I've visited France many times in my time.
I know you yourself have gone there.
You've gone to Albania getting to meet with these people.
And you see these are truly courageous revolutionaries who are very forward-looking, very honestly enlightened individuals who, in my mind, call to mind many of the revolutionary figures that we had in our own founding.
And if you think back to folks like Jefferson, you see those same principles that animated the American Revolution animated on the streets of Iran, led by a decades-long established opposition that just seeks to have freedom, free markets, democracy, free and fair elections, gender equality, religious pluralism, et cetera, and have Iran be really the shining beacon of freedom and democracy that it really can be.
And so I think what we're seeing right now in Iran is a tremendous show of strength, of bravery.
We've seen internet blackouts gone on for over two weeks now.
That's honestly unprecedented, even for the scale of brutality that we've seen for this regime.
And I think it's a sign of this regime is really on its last leg.
And obviously, we've been at this fight for many, many years.
You don't expect change to come overnight.
But I think the dynamic on the ground has really changed.
I'm optimistic that the resistance forces on the ground are willing and able to receive the end that we've been looking for for so many years.
So I have a feeling, Sienna, that Things are a little on hold right now.
Just a little bit.
The regime is trying to figure out, should they challenge Trump?
Because Trump laid down a very direct challenge and then a more indirect one.
The direct one was, you better not execute anybody or we're going to attack you.
So they had a lot of executions planned.
And the day after he said that, the Chief Justice, kind of like on his own, just said, I'm going to go ahead and do them anyway.
Hasn't so far, as far as I know.
At the same time, have the demonstrations lessened somewhat because of the violence and the killing?
I mean, we don't know how, we honestly have no idea how many they kill.
I mean, if it's 20,000, I would not be surprised.
Yeah, well, I would say there's a couple of remarks that I have with regards to that.
First, I think you alluded to this yourself.
This is a regime that you can never take at face value.
They say one thing, they do the next thing, the next day.
This is a regime that's built on terrorism and repression to its core.
That's the only way they've survived for so many years.
And they're not afraid to take out and undergo mass, mass executions.
We have the example, for example, of 1988, where 30,000 political prisoners, the majority of whom were supporters of the Mujahideen, the MEK, were executed in a manner of a year.
And so this is not a regime that shies away from brutality to try to repress its people and maintain its grip on power.
And in the last two weeks, I mean, it's been very difficult to get consistent, accurate information outside of the country.
We've had estimates from the low thousands, upwards of 20,000 individuals who have been shot dead in the streets, 50,000 plus who have been arrested and are many of them awaiting torture and execution.
Now, I think with regards to where the regime is right now, they're truly stuck, I think, between a rock and a hard place.
This is a regime that every time that there's been mass uprisings responds with murdering people on the streets, arresting them, torturing them, and then executing them.
And now you have an administration that has delivered a very serious threat saying if you go forward with executing your political prisoners, with killing people in the streets, there will be a response from the United States.
And that threat is credible because this is the same administration that took out Qasim Soleimani.
This is 100% two weeks ago.
And so I think Khamenei has to be very careful about the decisions that he makes between trying to react to the true revolutionary fervor on the ground, but also manage the threat that the regime faces from all four corners.
And so I think what we're seeing inside the country is that the folks see this regime as the paper tiger that it is.
They've seen its security apparatus entirely crumble over the past couple of years, both internally and externally.
And they see an economy that's just an entire shambles, a political infrastructure that's an entire shambles.
And so people are willing to keep going out in the streets, risk their lives, take over institutions, and fight until that day of victory happens.
You know, I have to tell you, my experience at least, you know that expression in American politics, and I do think it comes from Bill Clinton.
It's the economy stupid.
Yeah.
You know, and overthrowing dictatorial regimes is the same thing.
And the minute, so Ted Goodman is here with me.
And Ted is very involved in all of this.
He's my partner, all this.
When the first demonstration a couple of weeks ago started at the bazaar in Tehran, I wasn't that impressed.
a demonstration okay okay that's good shows they're still the minute i started to find out mostly from the mek but other sources that it's starting to spread it's going into the you know everywhere including in the ethnic in the ethnic places and it's on the economy not politics it's on i don't have food I don't have health insurance.
I can't go to the hospital.
I can't take care of my kid.
This is the thing that overthrows government.
Political ideology and religion can lie behind it.
But the thing that pushes it over the top, and they're there, they're there right now.
That's where they are.
I think the core of it is really a thirst for freedom and self-governance and really getting rid of the shackles of dictatorship that this country has unfortunately suffered under for almost 50 years under the current dictatorship, but even before that within the Shah.
And I think this patent.
Yeah, go ahead.
Can you please spend a little time on the shah?
Because I hate to go ahead of myself because we're not at the point that we've gotten rid of the Ayatollah and the theocratic government.
But I am convinced at some time, and I'll even say within the next eight months or a year, we're not going to have an Ayatollah any longer.
And I think his people are going to be tossed out.
Yeah.
All of a sudden, you've been involved probably longer.
Many of the people I'm with have been involved all their lives, but I've been involved for 15 years.
This is the first time I've ever seen him.
Yeah.
I mean, I've been in situations where we had to evacuate because we almost got killed.
I've gotten threats.
I've gotten fatwas.
Two groups of people.
There's 2018 where they tried to bomb our event in Paris.
My family was.
And you know, they tried to bomb my smaller event three months earlier at Ashraf with Madam Rajavi.
Yeah.
And Eddie Rama caught them.
And it's not just me.
It's all my people.
The same thing.
This guy has never risked a damn thing.
Yeah.
I mean, even to mention even that tens of thousands of supporters inside of Iran who have been killed.
I think these are folks like Reza Pahlavi, the son of the Shah, are frankly unserious, opportunistic individuals, like you've mentioned.
This is a man who's been living in comfort off of the money that his father's regime stole from the people of Iran, freely living in the United States, going on vacation, doing whatever he pleases.
And then every few years when uprisings happen in Iran, he goes on a media tour to try to fancy himself as the next leader of Iran.
But this is a man with no real platform, no proven track record.
He's had several attempts at making political coalitions that disappear in the blink of an eye.
The last one we saw was a couple of years ago when there was the uprisings in 2022.
He had this thing he called the Georgetown Coalition, which was really a coalition of a couple of ex-SABAC agents, his father's security agencies, a couple of ex-reformists who used to say, let's negotiate with, let's moderate with the regime.
Now we're supposedly rallying around Rezal Pahlavi.
And then a couple of celebrities.
All these people gathered together in a concert hall or something, post their pictures on Instagram, talk about how they're going to be the leaders of the next revolution.
And then a couple of weeks later, it all falls away and they go back to their vacations.
I think what really creates change on the ground is you need an organized resistance movement that is willing to, that has a presence all throughout the country.
You mentioned yourself, this is not just concentrated in large cities, in the bazaars.
It also happens in universities.
It happens in minority communities like the Azeris, the Baluchis, etc.
You need to have an organization that has roots in all of these communities that's willing and able to organize resistance operations inside the country, that's willing and able to take up arms against the regime, that's able to take over institutions, to broadcast their message to the people, and have a truly radical movement for change.
And that needs to be coupled with a political platform that's able to fill in the void, create free and fair elections, and manage the transition from the fall of the current dictatorship to a new flourishing government.
It's very much similarly how we've seen revolutions play out all throughout the rest of the world.
For example, our own revolution.
You had an actual fight against the British, as well as the formation of a continental congress that created a declaration of independence, a constitution to govern the government afterwards and prevent a power vacuum.
And that's precisely what Iran's resistance has created, not just overnight, but for decades now.
You know better than everyone.
This is an opposition movement that has deeply suited roots inside of the country that started with an intellectual movement fighting against the Shah in the 1960s.
And even though the Shah attempts to eradicate their leadership, they still remain strong.
Even after Khomeini tried to take them out in 1988 or tried to attack them in Ashraf in Iraq, they remain strong.
This shows that there is resilience.
There is a true foundation for it.
And so I have my confidence in the MEK and the National Council of Resistance to actually deliver that change.
But I think the key point to focus on is that the first question is getting that change to actually happen.
And folks like Rezel Pahlavi are trying to just get shortcuts to this and have change happen by the people and then try to insert themselves to fill on the gap as leaders.
And that's just not how revolutions work.
Revolutions happen organically.
You have to have a force on the ground.
You have to have a political movement.
Very, very wise, my friend.
Very, very wise.
His constant concentration is on himself.
Exactly.
Everybody else involved in this is on getting the country to a point where it has freedom.
Precisely.
Because the future is to be determined by them.
And can start making its own choices.
And we may have people we think are the best or people we, but we're confident that if we can get them on the right track, they're going to make a lot better choices than what is going on now.
And I also fear with the Shah, and maybe I think too far ahead, but should he somehow fool the media and you're going to have a civil war.
The Azeris that you mentioned, and the Kurds, and then the other groups that are smaller, but they have more animosity toward the Shah than even the, let's say, the Persian Iranians.
And they have actually said they will just revolt immediately.
Amplifying Voices 00:04:38
So, I mean, you'll go, you'll have a chaos with this guy because the Shah was horrible to everyone, but particularly to the minorities.
Yeah, and I think that's one of the dangers in the self-promotion and many of the media sources that have tried to latch onto his self-promotion campaign is that it's in many ways derailing the real focus of the revolution.
What happened?
There's really two competing visions here.
You've got one vision that I think is laid out by the Mujahideen and the NCRI, which is change from within.
The MEK and its resistance units only focus is amplifying the people and helping lead them towards self-determination and sovereignty.
And let the leader be determined by the people through free and fair elections.
And the NCRI exists to help facilitate that through a transitional government.
On the other hand, you have a model that I think is what is being proposed.
Although we don't really know precisely what the son of the shah is proposing because he flip-flops every other day on what he believes.
But the real model that they're latching onto is to have a foreign-led regime change where they want to take out effectively, take out the head of the regime, Khamenei, and place Reza Pahlavi in place.
He said himself that he's in contact with the IRGC, which, by the way, is a designated terrorist organization by the United States.
He seeks them, he seeks to use them as the transition to his view of what regime change should be, which on its face is laughable, infeasible, and also just an incoherent for anyone who understands history and how organic change has happened.
And so I think the focus on amplifying himself is actually a distraction because, like you mentioned, many of the communities that are on the ground today fighting for their freedoms have not forgotten what the Shah's father did to them just 40, 50 years ago.
Yeah, of course.
These are people who are being risking their lives getting shot in the streets.
And now they're being told that all your sacrifice is just so that this, you know, Nepo baby in the United States can come reclaim his father's throne.
People aren't willing to lead a revolution for that.
That's a deeply unserious thing that I think derails what's going on, is a distraction and I think delegitimizes the truly organic movement for change and freedom that's happening inside of Iran.
Well, thank you very, very much.
Are you online, my friend?
Am I what?
Online?
Online, yes, on Twitter.
Yeah, tell us where we can follow you.
At Sina Sadian, my just the full name on Twitter.
You're going to spell that out, right, Jed?
You're going to show it to everybody.
Yeah.
So we're going to, yeah, we're going to make sure that we keep in touch with you.
You're a very fine young man.
Absolutely.
And I appreciate it.
And you're the future of your country, my friend.
Well, the future is going to be determined by the people, but just like yourself, I feel that I have an obligation to help amplify their voices and play the smaller role I can in kind of shedding light on what's going on in the true alternative.
I'm a humble man, but God bless you.
God bless you.
And good luck with school.
That's not easy.
Yeah, good luck with school, but we'll worry about school later.
We're going to first freedom first.
Where are you in school?
I'm at the University of Virginia.
Ah, Thomas Jefferson School.
Couldn't be there.
Exactly better.
Okay.
Well, thank you.
Follow Cena on X at Cena Sadian.
We have it up on the screen now.
I see it right there.
Follow S E E N A S L No S A E D I A N. You got to watch that little I in the middle because to a jerk like me, it could look like an L. Give a follow.
We'll follow up with him.
So you just do Cena S A I E D I N and find out about this guy.
I think this is the guy with a future.
And last time I said that, I don't know who it was.
Maybe it was Trump.
So should we take a break?
We'll take a quick break and make our bow in the direction of capitalism.
Yep.
As we should, because we are capitalists, because there's nothing wrong with capitalism.
Capitalism is economic freedom.
Like democracy and Republican forms of government are political freedom.
They come from the same philosophical source as socialism and communism come from the satanic sources of Marx and Engels and Stalin, etc.

This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
Well, this is Rudy Giuliani back again on America's Mayor Live.
Hopefully your favorite show.
Ted, what is it?
It's the fastest hour on the internet.
He made that up like two days into our first show 30,000 years ago.
Took it from Rush.
Did you really?
I didn't know where that was.
Yeah, I think his was, it was like the fastest three hours on the radio, something like that.
Yeah, I took it from a rush.
Well, it was a friend of mine.
He wouldn't mind.
Yeah.
Russian.
He was right down the street.
Russian, up in heaven, you pray for us.
Make sure we can get.
I know we can't do it as well as you can, but we can try.
We can try.
We're working hard on trying to make sure these people in America are straightened out.
So we have with us a man that I know quite well.
Have worked with him very closely on these issues, particularly with the MEK, Ambassador Robert Joseph.
And Ambassador Joseph is special envoy for nuclear non-proliferation which, of course, is what exploded this whole issue, uh and um about the most knowledge, one of the most knowledgeable people on all of what's going on right now and the deep background of it.
Ambassador, we have him on.
He's got a tough connection.
Do you know where he is?
I don't know where he is, but we're going to call him.
Okay, and we might just do the phone option here and I'll put up a picture.
Oh, we'll do it whatever we have to do because his words are what the important part are.
He's a very, very knowledgeable, very knowledgeable man.
Okay, I'm sorry about this.
It's just totally screwed up.
Well, not at all to be worried.
It's your words that are the important ones, Ambassador.
Ambassador, could you give us a, so that I know where we're starting, what's your, tell me your view of what's going on right now and where we are and how likely we are to see a change in regime.
Well, first of all, Mr. Mayor, thank you for having me.
It's great to see you again and to hear your voice.
Thank you.
I would just say that there are many things that we don't know, but there are a number of things that we do know.
And I think while the demonstrations, the protests may have subsided a bit, and while the regime has claimed victory, this is far, far from over.
This is a true revolution.
And I think all major sectors of Iranian society have joined the revolt against what you have described accurately as a brutal, corrupt, and incompetent religious dictatorship.
Revolutions are messy things, as you know, and they seldom unfold in a single direction.
There are ups and downs.
There are episodes of hope and episodes of despair.
But I think what we do know is that the Iranian people, the people of Iran, have lost all hope that this regime will change.
This regime can't change.
We know there's going to be more killings.
There's going to be more arrests.
There's going to be more torture.
There's going to be more executions.
It's the DNA of this regime.
And the end will only come with the overthrow of the regime by the people of Iran.
And how do you see that happening?
Well, I think this is a revolution of and by the Iranian people.
This is a revolution that's led by the Iranian people and the organized opposition on the ground, which we have seen make significant inroads, not only in gathering more support among the population, but in attacking the very symbols of this regime, the very essence of its power.
This is not regime changed imposed by external actors.
This is not Iraq of 2003 or Iran of 1953 for that matter.
This is not about establishing or reestablishing a corrupt and discredited monarchy.
The Iranian people, I think, are prepared to move to a democratic republic.
We've seen over and over their willingness to pay the sacrifice, the sacrifice in blood, and they will prevail.
I don't think we have to worry about a failed state like we did with Libya.
Iran, you know, the great state of Persia has been a nation state for far longer than we have, for thousands of years.
Well, Ambassador, how do you right now?
The president is contemplating, I assume, whether he's going to attack, not attack, have Israel do it, particularly if the killings continue.
And it's unclear as to whether they are continuing or they will continue.
They keep threatening to do it.
So, if the president were to do that, how would that affect us?
If either the president or Israel were to take out a great deal of their military facilities, would that be a positive or a negative?
Well, it's a great question.
And I think it's clear that the role of the U.S. is important.
And we're all waiting to see what President Trump intends to do.
He may not have decided yet.
He did lay down a clear red line that the regime has clearly crossed with thousands dead and tens of thousands arrested.
He called for the people of Iran to rise up, to take over the institutions of the state.
He did say that the United States would come to their rescue, that help is on the way.
Those were his words.
And he said the killers would be punished.
It's becoming, I think, more clear that his critics, particularly those with Trump derangement syndrome, are trying to compare the president to Obama, who stood by in 2009 and watched without taking any action when thousands of Iranians were killed in the streets, and who in Syria set a red line, as you will remember,
that the Assad regime crossed when it used chemical weapons against its own people, and then he backed down.
These comparisons are, if anything, premature.
I think Trump is moving more military force to the region.
He said that all options are on the table, and he said that today.
And we know from the president's capture of Maduro and his very effective strikes against Iran's nuclear sites, that this is not a man who bluffs.
And I think striking at the symbols of the regime, striking at the power centers of the regime, whether it be the Ministry of Intelligence or the IRGC, kinetically, would have a positive effect.
That's my view.
But there are also many other options.
He's taking a number of options on the economic front, and there are many more that he could take that will make this regime even more desperate.
And there are many options on the cyber front that we're told.
But, you know, we'll have to see.
We'll have to wait and see.
It's my gut instinct.
And I don't have any solid support for this.
I don't want anybody to think I have a source or an inside information.
This is just my and Ted is my colleague.
I don't know that you've seen Ted, Ambassador.
Can we put you on the yeah, I gotta get he's very camera shy, but um we've been watching this from from from the first um from the first demonstration they had at the bazaar in Tehran, and I was not particularly impressed with that, I just thought that was another demonstration.
But when they started to move into the far reaches of Iran, and I checked with our friend Ali Reza, and he said there are about 50 of these going on, I started to realize this could be the undoing of them.
So, inshallah, I really do think we're not getting we're not getting uh uh um we're not getting much further along here without President Trump losing his patience with the way in which they've played him.
And um, he wants to give them if you notice one of the things about him that people don't realize because they try to characterize him or caricature him, he gives you enough rope to hang yourself.
So, for example, with with um with Maduro, how many times did they say we gave him so many chances, right?
Well, this is what he's doing here, and I think moving moving uh the aircraft carrier into place is a very dangerous sign for uh the Ayatollah.
I think that aircraft carrier is being moved into place because if he does do an attack, he wants to be as sure that he can be that we don't lose any American lives and that we have maximum protection for us and the Israelis.
So, I think it's going to happen, just going to be a question of when, Mayor, I agree with you, and I think you've made some very important observations.
The one point that I wouldn't agree on is the importance of the bazaar and losing the merchant class, and I think that has been a key tell, a key indicator in many previous uh revolutions throughout the Arab world.
That's a good point.
And when that happened this time, and that was that was the lead event, then the students joined, then the uh, you know, the workers joined.
Uh, it's it's really a broad-based revolution, a true revolution against the regime.
And I think what the U.S. might be able to provide through the use of force is that spark, that spark that leads to the total collapse of the regime, a regime that is more desperate today than ever before.
The people have had enough.
I believe that there's going to be more sacrifices that are necessary, but the people are willing to pay that sacrifice.
They're paying the price, and the regime cannot last much longer.
I'm not known for my optimism, but I am optimistic that this regime is in its last hours.
Well, Mr. Ambassador, you have been a great hero.
You've been involved in this for a long time at risk to yourself and reputation.
And you've always been a source of great analysis and strength.
And this is going to be a great day for you too when this happens, for all of us.
So I'm so glad you joined me.
And we'll be back in touch with you as this goes on.
I fear it'll probably take a while, a couple of weeks, maybe a month or two.
But I think we're not getting through too much longer without seeing our dream take place.
Well, thank you.
I'm in full agreement, Mr. Mayor.
Full agreement.
You're a great man.
Thank you, Ambassador.
Well, thank you, sir.
I don't deserve that credit.
No, you do, Mr. Even a small contribution.
Well, a small, that's what it's based on, small contributions.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
And I mean that.
I really do mean that this man and he's representative of a group of others, but not a large group.
I mean, a group of 50, 60 people, men, women, Republican and Democrat, liberal and conservative, not, here's what they have in common, which used to be what we had in common.
Even if we used to fight over taxes and we used to fight over welfare programs and we used to a passion for freedom.
Not just we like freedom, freedom is good, freedom is great, freedom is a passion for freedom.
I don't know if this is particularly popular with the jackass idiots who have captured some part of this movement, the so-called isolationists.
And I appreciate isolationism as a check and balance against irresponsible interventionism.
But I don't appreciate isolationism when it leaves people crying for freedom and being slaughtered when God created this country to be a beacon of freedom.
Disbarred in Heaven? 00:08:09
Where's your soul, your American soul?
We weren't put here.
We weren't put here selfishly just for us.
God doesn't give you wonderful things.
And then you just have a right to use it for yourself.
When God gives you wonderful things, you have an obligation to share them.
And if you don't, you're going to get a very, very interesting problem when you go to paradise.
You may have to hire me as a lawyer.
I don't know.
I don't know how good I'll be.
I do not think I've been disbarred in heaven.
I personally think, Ted, the people who disbarred me have been disbarred in heaven.
I do.
I really do.
I really believe that they were monsters and just, you know, typical products of the 170 years from Boss Tweed onto the present Democrat Socialist Communist Party.
But in any event, the reality is You're going to have to excuse me a little bit because I am extraordinarily excited, but in a very, very careful way, because I've been dreaming about this.
Now, you're not going to believe me.
You're not going to, maybe you're not going to believe me.
I don't know.
I've been dreaming about this from the time that the damn Ayatollah took over under Carter.
I've been dreaming about this since then.
I had only wished that my hero in the eight years that he was president had taken that bastard out.
So many lives would have been saved.
Now, maybe it wasn't feasible.
Maybe it wasn't possible.
I'm not enough of a historian to analyze that properly.
That's an emotional analysis of it.
But I relate to people seeking freedom as if they're my friends.
I can't describe it to you any differently.
It's a personal thing.
There's a thing about it that if I can go to heaven and offer to God a couple of things that I did that were really important, I don't know.
I think giving people freedom would be one of the most important.
Letting his children be allowed to realize who and what they are without the imposition of evil dictators.
So this is really important.
I don't know that we've ever had a better chance to overthrow this monster.
It is impossible in the short time that we have, and maybe even impossible in a longer time right now, to see the full impact of just how much the Iranian regime represents of what's wrong with us.
And it represents a lot of it.
And by the same token, if it can be eliminated, I don't think you understand the liberation that we will have from that.
The liberation that will take place for so much of the world.
And there's no, this isn't like the American Revolution, which of course was an impossible victory for us, but the course and the determinant was there.
You had to defeat the British.
This is much more complicated.
You've got to win.
You've got to get rid of the Ayatollah.
You've got to get rid of the Mullahs.
You've got to get rid of the Iranian guard.
And you got to get rid of whatever infiltration they've had in the army, which is probably the least of your problems.
It isn't just a straight out, you're fighting the British regulars, and if you defeat them and you get them to surrender, they're going to leave.
Of course, that was difficult as hell, but things have become much more complex now.
You have so many different philosophies.
And this is a very complicated application, really, of the Koran.
And a justifiable application of the Quran, I might add.
If you were arguing theology here, they they would have as good an argument that what they're doing is supported by the words of Muhammad as what they're being told not to do right, and which makes it even more complicated and requires, if we're going to really move on from this, that there be a real um right reformation of the Muslim religion, which it's never had right.
And we get beyond it.
We get beyond the killing of the Jews and the killing of the Christians and we hate all Jews and we can't be friends with them.
And we got to get beyond that.
We got to write that all out and uh you you, you.
You can say that accidentally, uh, if we just stick with the um Medina Muhammad, we got a pretty good set of morals and we can follow that.
He's not asking to kill anybody, but then forget what happened to him later when he became a murdering pervert.
That's tough, but you can do it.
People have So what did you think of my good friend, the ambassador?
Very impressive, very impressive, very impressive uh.
Clearly, he has a lot of experience uh in in that part of the world and also, of course, with nuclear non-proliferation, so he's likely thinking of things that most of us aren't even aware of when it comes to this sort of work.
Well yeah yeah yeah, I mean, he was involved originally in in um in um way back in discovering how they were cheating.
So he's a very, he's very um, he's very not knowledgeable right, and uh also, we should, we should give credit to our friend uh, Ali Reza.
Uh, who has provided most of these people, for he's our guide.
Uh now, I know them because i've been with them.
Uh, i've probably been at uh eight major conferences with Mek and probably about 50 smaller ones.
So most of these people i've met um, but you know, he is the one that has it all in his head and I was very impressed last night when I had Ali Reza on as to how he can marshal these facts so quickly together.
He is a great asset to them right, we're going to have to call France and tell our friend that, that he is a great asset to them.
Marijuana Usage Quadrupled 00:03:22
They couldn't have had a better representative in the United States than Ali Rezajadardi.
I mean they could, and I know he's loved by members of Congress.
I mean he could.
He could have made millions selling one of these dumb products right, and getting Congress to agree to a blowtorch or something.
A blowtorch that gets rid of uh, the green, green stuff like medical cannabis.
How about that?
Another report, medical cannabis, its ability to to to, to uh deal with pain is quote, overstated.
Oh my god, i've only been saying this for 15 years.
There are so many pain painkillers, good and bad, painkillers that are addictive, painkillers that are less addictive painkillers, that you can titrate painkillers with other.
Medical cannabis is bullshit.
It's really done so they can introduce cannabis, which they've done, and they've created a disaster with it.
From the moment this was introduced as legal, we've doubled and tripled the amount of people using marijuana.
We have increased significantly the people having overdoses, and God forgive us, we've increased the number of people who die from it.
And that is predictable from having legalized it.
The people who argue that legalization lowers the number of people who use it have always been completely wrong.
And every situation, they have proven to be not just wrong, dramatically wrong.
You don't just increase the number of people who use it.
You double it, you triple it, and you double and triple the people who die of it.
And it isn't even debatable any longer.
And we've got the former mayor of New York, Adams, the one that wasn't so bad, who was very much in favor of it because he thought he could have an economy in New York based on cannabis gambling.
And now the other guy wants to add prostitution.
I mean, the city is going to be a joke in 20 years if somebody doesn't stop it.
Ted, I think a good question that has to be asked carefully, quietly and academically in a way, is, are the Democrats trying to create a civil war?
It's hard to argue.
Fleeing Persecution by Boat 00:09:56
It's hard to argue that they're not.
I don't mean to raise that, but when I look at what they're doing with these sanctuary cities, right?
And then they make these arguments, you can't come in, you can't come in, you can't come in.
They are the beginning, the whole beginning of it is they're complete gross violation of the federal constitution and federal law.
Now, they may be opposed to the law that says that if you come into the United States without following the proper procedures for announcing yourself and giving us a proper opportunity to vet you to make sure that you're safe,
you're safe in terms of criminal conduct, mental health, economic burden, and so many other things, that if you escape all of that and you come in without any papers, without any right, and you just get yourself over the border,
either by sneaking in with the cartels or putting in a phony lying paper, that you are what is known as an illegal alien.
Now, if you at that point make a claim of asylum, which is the domestic version of refugee, you made the same claim in American embassy in Turkey, let's say.
You'd be called a refugee.
If you make that claim in the United States, you're called an asylum.
Same law.
You have to show that you are in imminent danger of persecution and death if you return to your country.
In other words, that asylum refugee category has been qualified for political activists.
There's no way that 400,000 Somalis are political activists.
No way.
They're given a card, which I've seen actually, to read and say, I'm in fear of persecution if I return.
Now, the reality is if they return, nobody even knows who the hell they are.
Right.
And they are not in fear of persecution.
And if this becomes a really big issue, and it hasn't, and I don't know that they have to introduce this additional bureaucratic burden.
I face this with the Haitians who would come in in boatloads of, you know, 100, 200, 300, as many as many as 20,000, 30,000 a month.
And they would come in and they would say, we're fleeing, fleeing political persecution.
The reality is they were not fleeing political, they were fleeing poverty.
And they were told to say that by disreputable, scummy captains, Haitian captains of boats, who would sell them a false story.
The story they would sell them is, if you give me all your savings, which could amount to like $10,000, maybe.
You give me all your savings, here's what you'll get.
I'll get you to America.
I'll get you to Florida.
I'll get you a work permit.
And I will also get you a place to live.
And they showed him a picture.
And a group of people that will sponsor you.
And they showed him a picture of the group of people.
And they gave him a little card of where to go.
And they took 10 grand or five grand, which would be all these people had ever.
And they probably had to sell their house, their cows, their children to get it.
They'd all get on the boat.
I don't remember the number, like 70, 80, 90, 100.
The boat was a piece of crap.
It should not be coming over the Caribbean.
And every once in a while, I can't remember how often, but I'm going to say one out of 20, one out of 30 would capsize.
And the next day, in the morning, you'd wake up in Fort Waterdale or Boca Raton or Miami or possibly Palm Beach.
And you'd hear a group of bodies have washed up on the shore of Fort Lauderdale.
And some people are alive and there's an emergency operation going on there.
And these were the Haitians who had given up everything they own to these disreputable so-called boat captains who put together boats that had holes in them.
And I don't know if it was one out of five or one out of 10 or one out of 20, but some predictable number would die in the process.
And nobody gave a shit.
Liberals loved it because it was creating a problem for the Trump, for the Reagan administration.
It actually all started with Carter because Carter announced that everybody from Cuba could come in.
And Castro, like Maduro, said, you want everybody, jackass?
I'll give you everybody.
In fact, I'll give you everybody and I'll do it in a way that you would take you about a year to figure it out because you're really stupid and I'm smart.
I'm going to send you some really great people.
I'm going to send you people who are the fathers and the mothers and the children of the people who escaped here and have established a pretty good life in America.
You're going to send you a whole bunch of them.
You're going to love me for that.
But I'm going to slip in about 25% of my criminals.
Not just my criminals, my psychopathic maniac murderers from my insane asylums.
But when I'm finished, I'm not going to have any prisons.
I'm not going to have any insane asylums.
You're going to have them all.
And for that, I got to probably give you about 100,000 legit citizens.
And I'll stick in there.
I'll sprinkle in there 30,000 maniacs.
That was called the Mario boatlift.
It started under Carter.
It finished under Carter because he was smart enough not to continue it under Reagan, but he left Reagan with the problem.
And the Haitians saw that.
And the Haitian boat captains then tried to imitate it by going to the poor Haitian people and saying, if you give me all of your savings, I'll find you.
And then they'd make up this whole thing, find you at condominium, I'll find you an employer, I'll find you a sponsor, I'll find you.
Then when they, even when they lived, most lived, and they showed up on the shores of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Ratan, whatever, they'd have a piece of paper with a phony name.
And they get arrested and they'd be brought into the immigration service.
Then after a while, they were taught to say, I'm fleeing persecution.
But then when they were asked what persecution, they didn't know.
Had they ever been persecuted before?
What are you talking about?
So it was just a population shift that was going on, not a saving them from communism.
Haiti wasn't communistic.
Haiti was demonically poor.
Well, this has been going on for a long time.
And when I look back on it, you know, the Haitian, the whole Mario, the whole Mario boat lift was about 25 to 30,000 bad guys and about 130,000 really good people.
So what was that?
150,000 people.
We used to get that sometimes in a month under Biden.
And The Cuban was roughly 100,025,000.
100,000 perfectly wonderful people who had family in America that turned out to be big Republicans most in most cases and slipped in among them 20 to 30,000 of the worst criminals you ever saw in your entire life, including mentally ill maniac criminals.
Teasing The Game Across Press Rooms 00:07:50
So this has been part of the communist playbook for quite some time.
And Maduro worked this communist playbook on us.
Now, when you say Maduro, it really could have been the bitch that's in charge right now.
Yeah.
Because she was his bitch.
Yeah.
Now, I know the president likes her because she's doing what he says.
He makes believe he likes it.
But she's Maduro's bitch.
And if you've been Maduro's bitch, you don't change.
This has got to go eventually.
And Machado is maybe.
I have no idea.
Maybe she's not as capable.
I don't know that.
I take honesty and integrity over capability here and trustworthy.
We got a lot of capable people that can help her.
I'll go help her if you want.
Okay.
Ryan.
I take capable over murdering communist swine anytime, any place.
And certainly in poor Cuba, which has gotten so much, so much, so many problems.
So let's see.
What else do we have here?
Tell us about the football game, Ted.
Well, last night was the national championship game between the Indiana Hoosiers and the Miami Hurricanes.
And what was a very exciting, exciting matchup?
It came down to the wire.
I was rooting for Indiana, the Big Ten.
Oh, good to meet you.
Who has now won three straight national titles?
Indiana this year, Ohio State last year, Michigan two years ago.
Indiana won.
It was a close game.
I'm going to let you handle that as I take a short break.
Sure.
For necessary, unnecessary.
We all have to do it from time to time.
I have a funny story about everything.
Right.
So we'll.
I think.
Yeah.
So we'll.
I shouldn't say it.
So comment below.
Let us know.
Did you watch last night's national championship game?
College football.
It's a different era, of course, with NIL spending.
So it's almost as if it's a pro league.
A lot of these schools are spending millions and millions of dollars on players.
And so we want to hear from you.
Did you watch the national championship last night?
And of course, while we talk a little bit about sports and we want to talk to the mayor about the new hire, the New York Giants hire a new coach, we are also tracking the president who is making his way to Davos.
So let's see if we can find any coverage of the president making his way to Davos, Switzerland.
I believe Davos is in Switzerland.
So we're watching that closely.
Of course, the president gave an incredible marathon press conference today.
Again, he feels like, and he's correct in this.
He has to get out there and talk about what he has accomplished and what the administration has accomplished because so many in the media won't cover it, right?
So if he doesn't say it, it's almost as if it never happened.
So comment below.
Let us know your thoughts.
Did you watch the president today?
He, of course, was speaking at the podium in the White House press room.
And, you know, I've been there a few times, and it's hard.
It doesn't really come across on television, but that room is extremely small.
It's really cramped.
And at least when I was there last, you know, it's older.
So, you know, they got like wires and that stuffed in the ceilings.
And so it would be interesting to see if the president has any plans, Mayor, for the press, for the James Brady press briefing room.
I know we don't.
Well, is that that's the room that he was in today, right?
Yeah.
And he was teasing about, he was teasing about it's too many people in there, but he's also teasing about there's a pool.
The pool below that, that's the pool that John Kennedy used to use.
Yeah.
With the famous, well, I won't even mention.
Who else was using that pool with President Kennedy?
Well, we don't know.
I don't know who changed it.
I think Nixon did.
I think Johnson kept it.
I don't have time for a pool.
You're the president of the United States.
I think Nixon changed it.
But I'm surprised Nixon, how stupid it was for Nixon to put the press there.
The press hated him.
Where were the press before that?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Snow.
Outside.
Hopefully, they were like across the street or five blocks away.
Now we got them right there in the building.
You know, and when they're in the building, like that's a small, that's a small area.
You don't realize how small that is.
They can sneak around and see a lot of stuff.
Right.
I've been in there.
Every once in a while, you're walking around and you see one of those slime, you know.
And then they make the story up.
That's not enough that they have to, they see something.
They then have to make the story.
They make the story up.
It's amazing.
You know what they used to say about one of the reporters?
They used to say, you know, when he says he has, when he says he has, he has sources close to the White House, they're people that he's talking to on a bench two blocks away from the White House, but it's real close.
Well, it doesn't come across.
I was just telling the viewers, you know, on TV, it's maybe hard to see.
That's a cramped room.
That's a very small room.
It is.
I mean, it really depends on how many people are in it.
When we interview sometimes, Cara or Allison there, right?
Yeah.
And they're by themselves.
It's a pretty nice size room.
But when they're there with a lot of other people, you can see it.
Like today, today Kara asked a question and she was all jumbled in with them.
Yeah, so you can kind of see it.
And when you're there in person, it is cramped.
They really put you shoulder to shoulder.
But then again, what's the video of Nancy Posey?
We did.
We did.
Can we show you?
We have some videos.
Can we find it?
Yeah, I just do one second and we'll play that.
Yeah.
A lot of people always said she was a drunk.
Yeah, so we have, I guess, the fact that she was drunk now wouldn't necessarily say she's a drunk, but at least it's a little proof, right?
Right.
So we'll get that fired up here.
I always thought she was jackass and a liar.
Yep.
So we're going to play that in just a second, Mayor.
I just need a second to pull it up.
Then I want our ice agent.
One second.
I need a second to pull that up.
I have to call, I have to call, I have to call the department and give them my suggestion.
I want to see what you guys think of it.
Okay.
I have a suggestion for an ad.
Exploring Perversity and Protection 00:15:41
Yep.
So we just need one second to pull that up.
So this is.
Is this imagine if they win?
We're going to pull up.
Nancy from Baltimore.
we just need a second Sorry.
It's going to take me a second.
So let me give you another story while we're doing this.
So everybody knows Bernie Sanders, right?
You can't understand him anymore, but he used to be understandable.
He's a stupid, moronic, completely hypocritical socialist, communist who lines up with the Democrats, but he's not really a Democrat.
He's something else.
I don't know what he is, but he's a communist jerk off.
That's what he really is.
With stupid ideas, ridiculous ideas.
And young people get all excited about him because he says socialism and they go when they hear socialism.
He's been on the board of the Holocaust Museum for 18 years, which is when it started.
I remember when the Holocaust Museum, I was invited when it started in, because we, myself, but mostly other people before me, I helped to fund it.
Robert Morgenthau and many of the people in the Jewish community in New York built the Holocaust Museum in New York.
And I remember such excitement about the Holocaust Museum in the city of Washington.
It was the most viewed museum for about two years, Jed.
Yep.
By far.
Yep.
He's been on the board since the beginning and he's Jewish.
He lives in Washington for all the bullshit.
He lives in Washington.
He's a multi-Fing millionaire for all the socialist bullshit.
He's never gone to a single board meeting.
Boy, he must really care about the Holocaust.
Wow.
Gee, Bernie.
Is that a real display of exactly what a phony bastard you really are?
Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
So what if they just kick him off now, out?
18 years, you don't show up for a meeting.
I mean, there may be some of these people who live in Hawaii.
Some of these people may live in California.
Some of these people may not have the kind of money you have, which you have made never having worked a day in your life.
Would you sometime like to explain that, you lying communist scum?
Would you like to explain it sometime?
Or would your wife like to explain it?
I would listen.
I was an enormously easygoing prosecutor.
Everybody would tell you that.
Well, here's a video without further ado.
Can we see his partner, the woman from Baltimore?
Here she is.
With the family from Baltimore.
Magician, too.
He was a force of nature.
He was a force of nature, restless, searching, curious, and kind.
He helped create a sound that became a language, a culture, and became a sense of community.
You all know that.
A sound that invited people not merely to listen, but to belong.
And so we were welcomed by the mayor to San Francisco, which just loves Bobby Weir.
Don't we love Lobby Beer?
Many are here from all over the state, and I bring national message to all of you.
Bobby understood something.
He was so very remarkable.
He understood something essential about America.
That our strength and our improvisation, our diversity and our willingness to learn from one another, even when the tune changed.
Huh.
Well, that's Nancy at a Bob Weir concert.
I don't know if that was like drunk or a camela word salad.
Right.
I'm seeing this was the example.
And they say that Camela was drunk a lot.
Right.
You think that's true?
That wasn't even a, yeah.
Look, we've seen worse examples, even from her.
But she definitely was tripping over her words there.
What's she doing at a concert anyway?
I thought she was.
I thought the country was.
We've got to leave pretty soon, but I want to play what I, what I want, I want to produce this.
And I want to show the agent.
I believe that this should be seen by every American.
And I want to know, is there some very wealthy person out there who would be willing to sponsor this ad?
And we could put it on all over America.
We'll put something around it, you know, something around it to explain it.
But this is what our poor ICE agents are going through.
These men and women, these men and women, the ICE agents are no different than your local police.
They're no different than the FBI.
These are people who come to work for the federal government because they want, they have this desire to protect their community and enforce the law.
They come to work every day and now they and their families have no idea if they're going to return.
And they are probably the most focused on and persecuted of our law enforcement agents.
And they're some of our best.
Because I got to tell you, to become an ICE agent today, you got a large pair of, you know what?
I don't know this young man.
I will, in full disclosure, tell you I'm on one of the boards of the department.
Department of Homeland Security.
And ultimately, they run this agency.
Sure.
But I don't think that matters.
There's no conflict there.
What I'm saying is I think this is so heartfelt and there's such a perversion of where the emotion goes here that something like this may help.
Let's watch this.
This is an ICE agent in Minneapolis.
And he's being blocked.
It looks like it's snowing, right?
And he's being blocked in his effort to try and either take in or arrest a perverted child molester.
We're here to arrest a child sex offender.
And you guys are out here honking.
That vehicle right there is honking and impeding our investigations while we're trying to arrest a child sex offender.
That's who you guys are protecting.
Insane.
That's what we're doing.
You realize by honking, you can alert the guy to run away.
You can alert the guy to pick up a gun and blow the brains out of the poor agent coming through.
And by honking, you are obstructing justice.
And I don't know.
I don't think they're really, I don't think they're really in a position to be as tough as I would be, but I just don't give a damn.
I would have arrested her for interfering with that arrest and let her feel the inside of a jail.
So maybe it would show her the consequences and how serious this is.
What she did didn't do this, but it could be part of a story where you'd write someday that she got that agent killed by honking a horn.
Depends on how dangerous the guy he's arresting is.
He doesn't know.
He doesn't know.
The guy's a sex offender.
He may be a sex offender and he's just a little scum pervert, or he may be a sex offender who's also a murderer.
How does he know?
How does she know?
And what the hell is she doing, interrupting him anyway?
What the hell is wrong with her?
Why doesn't she go get a psychiatrist and straighten herself out?
Maybe an arrest and a prosecution and a felony conviction would help her do that.
And instead of putting in jail, they'd send her to a psychiatrist.
Here's the problem.
In Minnesota, the psychiatrist would probably agree with them.
He'd probably be more screwed up than she is.
That's what you get in these liberal communities.
It's tragic.
It's absolutely tragic.
I mean, there are certain basic values, like we support our law enforcement agents.
Tell me what that guy was doing wrong.
He's got a warrant for the arrest of a person who came into this country illegally and probably has a detainer, almost definitely has a detainer.
That's how you would find out about him because nobody in Minneapolis would inform him.
You got to understand this.
They cover up for sex offenders in Minneapolis.
I guess Baby Mayor likes them.
So he covers up for them because the police in Minnesota, Minneapolis and in Minnesota, cannot alert the ICE agents.
So somebody gets arrested.
They were molesting a five-year-old girl.
They get convicted of molesting the five-year-old girl.
They are illegally here from most likely, if it's Minneapolis, Somalia, which is a more than representative crime among Somalians.
There is a high incidence of perversity.
So now he spends his three years in jail.
Maybe two, maybe one, maybe six months, given the Minneapolis left-wing communist Democratic farmer, workers, socialist, Communist Party, Democrats.
But whatever he serves in prison, now this animal is coming out of prison.
He has what is known as a detainer.
So when the immigration service, ICE, finds out that a person who's come in illegally has committed a crime and is in jail, they place a detainer on him.
And the detainer says, as soon as he's about to be released, notify us so that we can have agents there. to pick him up at the prison and put him in the proper federal prison.
Doesn't that seem like the right kind of working relationship between federal and state law enforcement agency?
When the predominant crime and the most important one is the immigration crime, because it's the one that the supremacy clause says the federal government gets to execute.
Instead, in these sanctuary cities, which are really unlawful cities, the mayor or the city council, or both, have passed a law or an executive order that prohibits the police from notifying the immigration service that a sexual predator is about to be released to the streets,
where he will scurry around to find seven, eight, nine, and 10-year-old children to violate until you finally catch him.
So that's who Rebecca Good, for example, who lost her life trying to kill an ICE agent.
That's who she was protecting.
And that's who her girlfriend, who should be prosecuted for being an accomplice yelling, drive, baby, drive, should be prosecuted for.
And not because I want to have vengeance against them, and I feel terrible about the lady who died, except for the fact that she killed herself.
You run into a human being with your car, and you kind of know somewhere in this flaky mind that you have, that it's a law enforcement agent.
You don't think he's going to put a bullet in your head?
Well, he is.
So I hope we get this straightened out at some point.
I hope.
Let's see if we have all of the things on Minneapolis covered now.
I got to check and make sure that they're all covered.
We covered Indiana and we covered the medical cannabis.
And I can't seem to get this wrong.
Marsh.
I have to have longer nails there.
Okay, here we go.
Minnesota.
Oh, Don Lemon.
Don Le Long.
Should he be prosecuted?
Yes.
Okay.
We don't need any more than that.
Well, what about Rebecca Good?
Yes.
Who said, drive, baby, drive, kill that guy with your two and a half ton truck.
Well, she didn't say that, but that was.
Should she be prosecuted?
Yes.
She caused the, well, she gave an issue.
She herself said, and this will be used against him.
Yeah.
It's my fault.
Right after.
Yep, on the floor.
That's called a spontaneous declaration.
It can be used against you in court.
What can she argue to get that thrown out?
Accountability Under Fire 00:05:26
Nothing only coerced her into doing it.
I mean, she can argue, you're a liberal, I'm a liberal, throw it out.
I was in shock.
We don't prosecute liberals here in Massachusetts in Minneapolis.
Hormonia, yeah, or Massachusetts or Minneapolis.
If it were Giuliani or Goodman or some Republican who said it, we'd even make it up.
Oh, we would have been shot on site.
Yeah, wait a minute.
How about the people, and including Don Lamond, who went into the city's church in direct violation of the FACE Act, which doesn't allow you to interrupt people who are worshiping?
Right.
And it is the same act that doesn't allow you to interrupt people while they're killing babies.
And there are very famous cases in the fascist Biden administration in which life protesters were arrested for standing outside of a homicidal clinic of Planned Parenthood and urging people going in that they didn't have to.
kill their baby, that there were services available for adoption.
These people were brutally prosecuted by the completely corrupt Attorney General Garland of the Biden administration by that wonderful Roman Catholic Joe Biden.
And one of them was an elderly woman, I think, put in jail for five years.
Now, unlike Don Laman and the animals that entered that church yelling, screaming, cursing, and intimidating, these pro-life people never entered the clinic.
They weren't screaming.
They were in a relatively normal tone of voice, delivering a very rational message, which is you can avoid this by doing an adoption and giving the child, which is what they believe, okay, give the child a chance of life.
I mean, the world is really, and they didn't get into the whole thing, but the world's really not all about you.
And if you do happen to get pregnant, you've got to have some accountability for it.
I want you to remember that word accountability, because it's the biggest word that needs to be, and concept that needs to be reestablished in our society.
Accountability.
Well, the last thing we will cover is the Insurrection Act.
Can Trump utilize the Insurrection Act in Minneapolis, Minnesota?
The answer is yes.
There is more than enough legal basis to do that.
Is it enough to do it very safely so no one can dispute it and you'll win the battle politically?
I would say not yet.
It's a shame that I have to say that, because it shouldn't be that way with the application of the law.
But I'd be foolish if I didn't say that to you.
You can even escape insurrection because there's one version of the statute that uses the word not insurrection, but obstruction.
And they surely are obstructing on purpose.
They're even telling you they're obstructing.
They're obstructing the due administration of justice.
Now, the people who are also obstructing it are the mayor and the governor who order their personnel not to cooperate in the execution of federal law on a regular basis.
That's setting up a lawless city.
And although it isn't as dramatic or as personal and as traumatic, I guess, as slavery, it's very, very similar.
The mayor and the governor have no right to interfere with federal law enforcement in their attempt to carry out the laws passed by the Congress of the United States.
And one of those laws is that you are subject to arrest if you are in this country without the proper papers and proper authorization.
Driving to Davos 00:06:15
Right.
Or if you have falsely filed an asylum application.
Well, tomorrow we're going to have an interesting day because our president is on an airplane right now, heading over, heading over to Switzerland.
I remember years ago, maybe eight or ten driving to Davos, because I decided to drive with my just myself and my favorite, one of my favorite security people, Bo Wagner.
And I decided to drive him because I can teach him opera.
And we played La Traviada and we played Cavaliero Sticana.
And then we played, and then we played for the rest of it, Bocelli.
And we went through the mountains.
And I did the driving, not my security guy.
Can you believe this?
I did the driving because I love driving mountain roads.
I'm not surprised.
Mountain roads.
And I think Bo really enjoyed that.
Maybe we'll get Bo on and he can reconstruct it for you.
See if he remembers.
But I really enjoyed that a lot.
Then I went there and I gave my talk and I was asked questions and we drove back again.
I think we even stopped off somewhere and went to a concert or something, or went to a church concert, I think, and came back.
And I was so unimpressed.
A bunch of let me impress people, stupid jerks, who were really being important, like really, really being important.
I couldn't understand that question.
Now, I didn't know how to answer it, but I did not want to appear to be, like, you know.
So I would just say, that's what he's talking to tomorrow.
They are part of the problem in our world, that Davos crowd.
One world, half of them are communists.
The other half are going to get so surprised when the Chinese come in and say, oh, you're the ones who supported us?
We killed you first.
Okay.
We'll be back tomorrow.
We'll be back tomorrow on Wendell TV at 7.
We'll be back tomorrow on X at 8.
And we're going to do even more to expose the baby Nepo Shah, who may be messing up this whole thing.
When you put a scoundrel like that in the middle of this, you could be messing up the whole thing.
Last thing in the world they want back is the last guy who killed them.
I mean, think about that.
Let me get rid of the guy who's killing me.
I'll bring back the last guy who was killing me.
Really smart.
So, pray for the people of Iran.
Pray for the people of Israel.
Pray for the people of Ukraine, who we have to talk about some more.
We've lost track of Ukraine, which we should.
Pray for our president who is somewhere over the Atlantic right now, that God gives him the wisdom and the courage and everything else.
I know he has it, but he gets it from God.
So you have to pray.
And we pray to God for peace.
Okay.
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.
There 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.
