Good evening.
This is Rudy Giuliani, and this is America's Mayor Live.
Behind me is the city of Tehran, because a good deal of our broadcast will concern the choices that will be made about the future of that city.
And those choices are going to be made in one place and one place alone, and that's in Washington or in Mar-a-Lago by the president of the United States, who has complete control over this situation, whether anyone recognizes it or not, and has a plan.
He just hasn't revealed it yet.
And we're going to try to, we're going to try to figure it out.
We're going to try to figure it out.
We're going to try to figure out where in the labyrinth that he creates that makes it very, very difficult for his enemies to figure out what he's going to do so we can take them by surprise, what the outcome will be.
The last time we got it right, so let's see if we get it right this time.
We may not.
I don't pretend infallibility, nor do I know anyone else that has it except he himself.
I'm not sure even his staff, well, I would say at this point, his top staff that know what he's going to do.
So let's get a few things out of the way first.
This kidnapping, I guess, of Savannah Guthrie's mom, this just seems to be just a malicious, horrible crime.
This apparently very sweet, nice woman was just taken.
It is a mystery.
I'm sure that it is destroying the family.
It looks like a beautiful, beautiful Christian family.
And some of the obvious things aren't there, and some obvious things are there.
She was a woman that had awful wits.
I mean, in other words, there's no dementia involved here.
And that seems solidly supported by the police, because the police would need to know that in order to properly try to run this down.
On the other hand, she was physically ailing and needed medication.
Apparently, critically, she couldn't be without this medication for more than 24 hours and she doesn't have it.
And 24 hours have now passed, which is very, very alarming, obviously.
Now, we don't know if we're being told everything.
I would doubt that we are.
I did kidnappings and you knew about 10% of it until we caught the guy.
But it's hard to see exactly what the motive here was.
In fact, you don't see a motive.
There is nothing that emerges from this that suggests a motive of taking this very, very sweet, very nice woman.
There's no personal issue in the family that's known.
It looks like a beautiful family, a harmonious family.
There's no political issue.
There's no money issue.
There's no this could just be an extremely sick crime and preying on elderly people, which happens a lot.
I don't even want to get into it.
I don't want to get into it.
But when I found out, I mean, there was a whole big problem for a period of time in Southern California of young people raping old, old, 80-year-old women.
Human personality, Which gets us to the trans case that was decided in New Jersey, a really, really good award of $2 million against a bunch of very, very know-it-all doctors and psychiatrists and you name it, Satans that convinced a young woman, who I don't say her real name, it's never name the case, Fox Varian at 15 years old,
to basically get all chopped up.
In other words, she had a mastectomy at 15 years old.
Now, by the time she reached 22 years old, she won't be a girl anymore.
And she went back and explained that she'd been brainwashed into it and that her parents, her mother, I don't know if it was a father involved, her mother had been actually almost put into depression with this idea that she was going to commit suicide.
And now we know that that is largely not true.
That the suicides that result happen when the trans transformation takes place.
And then later, you want to reverse it.
And that the general statistics that have existed for hundreds and hundreds of years are that about 90 to 95% of the people who get this ideation of wanting to experiment with the other sex get over it in anywhere from about a month to about two years.
So European countries have been brave and smart enough in dealing with the tyrannical lobbies that exist here to pass legislation, very much restricting this.
In London, it doesn't matter who or what you say, you cannot begin the process of changing your sex until you're at least 19 years old.
And a lot of people think that's too, it should be about 22 or 23.
But in any event, America refuses to accept.
Do not consider this part of the LGBTQ plus community or any of that stuff.
This is a different thing at all.
This is more similar to the pandemic.
I want you to tell me why it's more similar to the pandemic.
A few of you have been listening to my show or reading the books I suggest.
Because this is all about money.
It is not about sex.
This is not about freedom of sex or freedom of this or freedom of that or freedom of this, freedom of that.
It is 400 or 500 grand a change in an industry that's dying for easy money because they got to fill out all kinds of forms and the president is squeezing them now and the insurance companies are squeezing them so they can make the profit, not the doctors and blah, And boy, you got a lot of crooked doctors running around.
And it used to be that only lawyers were crooked.
Never true.
Doctors are the same group of people as lawyers and the same group of people as mechanics and the same group of people as priests and the same group of people as people run the gamut.
And when you put money pressure on them, a lot of them just cave in and ethics mean nothing.
So the reason this happens is because this is big money.
Big, big money.
And it's not such big money in Europe.
It's not even close.
So it's much easier for Europe to crack down on this.
Just like they cracked down on the vaccine before we did.
They cracked down on the use of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, where we were killing people by not giving it to them because the big guys wanted to make the billions on the vaccine that was never a vaccine.
So this is what's going on.
And this court decision, this court, if upheld, will mean that if you are below the age of 18, I imagine it's about 18, and somebody talks you into chopping off parts of your body or even taking very, very powerful medicines that can do permanent damage to your body, which they can, you can sue afterwards.
It's almost a little like statutory rape.
You're not capable of making that decision, and your parents aren't capable of giving you permission.
So if you're a 14-year-old girl, let's say you're a 14-year-old girl in New York, 17 in New York, and your boyfriend has sex with you, and all of a sudden your boyfriend gets caught and you say, well, my parents allowed it.
Your boyfriend still goes to jail for statutory rape.
Your parents have no capacity to allow it.
This isn't the ancient Mormon religion, sorry, or Muslim.
Okay.
Enough for that crappy piece of news.
Good piece of news, but unbelievably sick subject.
And people want to know why are we, why has this happened to us?
Please, what's the answer?
Tell me the answer.
Please, all of you, shout out at home.
Why is this happening to America?
Because of the influence of Karl Marx and the Communist Party.
That's why.
Why the chaos in Minneapolis to destroy America so we become part of Krauss Schwab's von world or Zijin Mings, one from column A, one from column B, and you will be Chinese and you will like it.
Uh-huh.
Or you'll be a Muslim and you'll memorize the Quran.
And if you want to be a Jew or a Christian and live, simple.
Get down on the ground, give me all your money and kiss my feet.
Now you can live, maybe.
Cause any trouble puts you in the mass grave like Muhammad did.
That's where we're headed, guys.
Musk is helping the Ukrainians.
And I like the fact that he doesn't give a shit.
I mean, they're all saying, oh, the company has to be the same with Russia and Ukraine.
Yeah, like hell.
The Russians are murdering the Ukrainians.
You don't have to be the same with both.
So basically, he's giving them Starlink protection in Ukraine.
And he's denying it to Russia because Russia has been using some form of Starlink to help their drones be more accurate.
And he's taking it away from them.
And Russia is asking for, in other words, homicidal maniacs want equal treatment.
Elon Musk, who we owe a lot of things to, including the saving of our free speech, this is a gutsy decision.
This is a gutsy decision because it cuts his company out of Russia until Russia changes.
It'll change.
Russian people don't want this maniac killer in charge forever.
Mamdani is a snow failure.
You know what it means to be a snow failure in New York?
It means to be a shitty mayor.
Mamdani, even before he came into office, announced he's going to reverse Adam's policy of Picking up the homeless and getting them off the street, no matter what the temperature is, no matter what the encampment is, that bad Adams was doing that.
Well, let me first tell you that bad Adams was doing exactly what even the bad DeBasio did, and the bad Bloomberg and the bad Giuliani and the bad Koch and the bad Dinkins, and maybe the bad Beam and the bad Lindsay.
The policy of picking up the homeless, if they're going to freeze to death, Mr. Communist Islamic extremist supporter is something you don't know about because you're a communist and you are a supporter of Islamic extremism.
It's called humanism, it's called respect for human life.
And people say, why did he do that?
And I answered that on Newsmax today.
Fred Henry, and I think Ed got it.
He said, why did he do this?
Because he's a communist.
And they just add into it.
He's a big, big, enthusiastic supporter of Islamic murdering extremists.
What kind of regard can he have for human life?
None.
He maybe thinks he has, but he doesn't.
Now, here's the thing.
All over New York City, this is what's still going on five days later.
And not only that, New York, people wonder why is the garbage all backed up and the rats are coming out like crazy in some of the best neighborhoods of New York and some of the worst neighborhoods in New York.
Now, why are the rats coming out like crazy and the garbage still there?
Can't pick up the garbage.
Because the New York City essential way to pick up the snow.
70% of their vehicles that are used in a big snowfall are garbage trucks, sanitation trucks that are turned around.
And on the front of the truck, you put a gigantic plow.
Now, these trucks are fabulous in one sense.
They're a lot heavier than most cities use.
And they clean up the snow much more effectively and much faster.
They can't work on two, three, four inches of snow.
Minute gets to be four or five inches of snow.
And when you have a big snowfall, they can get rid of it in miracle time.
Here's the problem.
It takes about a day, almost a day, a little less than a day, to fit them.
So you can't pick up garbage that day.
And then it takes even a little longer to de-fit them.
So you can't pick up garbage until they have the big plow removed.
So if you have a long period of having to pick up snow because you're not particularly efficient in the way you do it, you end up with this kind of problem.
Now, most mayors have figured out how to do it efficiently.
I would say I was the best, as certified by Time magazine, where I was on the cover, and twice by Saturday Night Live when mayors in other cities were still digging out.
Iranians Striving for Freedom 00:15:44
We were undug out in two days.
It took them six, seven.
But I really spent time studying it with my great sanitation commissioner, who I named Admiral Nimitz.
Someday I'll tell you why I called him Admiral Nimitz, because I understood that if you use the strategy used At the Battle of Midway, you wouldn't make the same mistake that John Lindsay made.
So now we're going to have with us on the issue that is perplexing the whole world: exactly what is Donald Trump going to do about the reign of terror and the anywhere from 20 to 30 to plus people that were slaughtered in the last three or four weeks after he told not to do it.
We're going to go to Bazad Raufi, who was a NASA engineer and scientist and a human rights activist for freedom in Iran and someone who has lived this as part of his life.
And if you don't mind telling us your background a bit, and did I pronounce your name correctly?
I want to make sure I do.
Close.
Bizat Raoufi.
Say it.
Raoufi.
Raufi.
Perfect.
Beautiful.
Now we got it, Mr. Raufi.
Go ahead.
Good evening, Mr. Mayor.
This is Bazad Raufi.
As I just said, I came to the United States in 1976.
Of course, in 1979, as we all know, the people of Iran rose up and overthrew the previous dictator, Mohammad Raza Shahlavi.
And as has been mentioned many times by some of Pahlavi supporters from the old times, the reason there was an uprising, and this, by the way, was admitted by the Shah of Iran himself, very close to being overthrown.
He came on national TV and apologized and said that he had made mistakes, that there was corruption in his government and people were not served properly.
And that was the basis for the uprising.
And since then, of course, unfortunately, the mullahs were able to hijack the Iranian revolution and have now, of course, been in power for about 47 years.
Wow.
It is hard to believe.
I came here as a young man, went to school.
My plan was to get through my bachelor's degree, my master's degree, and PhD in aerospace engineering.
You can go back to Iran and not only start a field of aerospace engineering in Iran, like one of the big universities like Tehran University or Ariamer, Sharif, current name Sharif, and have an aerospace industry in Iran, start an aerospace industry in Iran.
And of course, unfortunately, as we all know again, the mullahs took over in 1979, changed a lot of things.
And of course, we're seeing the results now.
Now, do you have any family back in Iran, or are they all in the United States or elsewhere?
I come from a big family.
I'm one of eight siblings.
God bless you.
Thank you.
Seven of eight moved to the U.S. over time.
And I have one sister in Iran who has, for a variety of reasons, decided not to come here, even though her daughter came here and is now working on her PhD in North Carolina.
Now, how was she?
How was she treated?
Okay.
Yes.
Okay.
You mean my sister in Iran or the daughter here in she.
I talk to her occasionally and she tries to stay um away from the street.
Good yes yes, um.
Now, how about you what?
What's your what since you've been gone?
What's your view and what have you done?
And how do you feel about um?
What's going on now and um?
Will there be an overthrow?
Should the United States intervene or not intervene?
There's so many questions uh.
What?
What's going on with this power v guy?
Um, all of a sudden, he comes out of nowhere and he wants to, he wants to bring the dictator.
I find it very, very hard and it's of course.
I've been involved in this with uh, with Mek and Pmi for 15 years, but I find it very, very hard to understand how a country would risk being killed, slaughtered and and uh in order to bring another dictator back.
You know geez, we get a democracy out of it.
They're going to kill all of us.
Yes to.
To answer your first question um, if I understood correctly uh, will this regime go?
Of course it will uh.
The people of Iran have have shown through multiple uprisings, uh, the major ones starting in 2017, followed by another one in 2019.
Uh, followed by the uh 2022 uprising, which uh was known as Mass Almini uh uprising and, of course, the most recent one have uh, time and over, shown that they they want to have a free and democratic country um.
As you mentioned earlier in your show, making a reference to the National Council OF Resistance OF IRAN, the PM, PMOI or MEK, has been fighting for over 60 years uh against dictatorships.
Uh first against the uh Mohammad Shop Alavis dictatorship and, of course, for the last 47 years, against the Mullahs dictatorship.
Uh fighting for a free and democratic Iran and non-nuclear Iran.
Uh and a republic um.
The National Council OF Resistance IRAN uh as as again, you're familiar with it uh, but for the sake of your audience, please is is a body that has over 450 uh members.
Um more than 52 percent of its members are comprised of uh women.
Uh, that's that's an indication that we believe in equality, gender equality and and um gender justice in practice.
Um by by having more than 50 percent of of um the National Council OF Resistance membership uh be women um.
We also believe in the rights of the minorities.
Uh, the National Council OF Resistance does uh.
I'm sure you're also familiar with the uh mrs Mariam Rajavi's 10-point plan.
Yes yes we, we.
The last several nights we've put it up so people can see it and we're going to try to find a way to mail it to them.
I mean, it's really important that they understand that this is an organization that really what they just want is freedom and democracy and decency for their basic basic human rights.
And if they accomplish that, they've accomplished everything.
They're not seeking power.
They're not seeking money.
They're seeking freedom for their people.
That's what the National Council of Resistance and the MEK have said and acted in the last 60 years.
They are not there for power.
Someone who's there just for power will not go risk their life to fight and get killed.
And they would not sacrifice their own life and their own well-being for the people if they were after power.
MEK over the past, again, 60 years has shown that they truly want a free and democratic and of course non-nuclear Iran, a republic that transfers the power through the transitional period to the people of Iran.
It's the people of Iran that will be making the final decision as to the details of a future democratic Iran.
We will have a constitutional body that would write the new constitution.
There are certain things that are expected of this, that this would be not a monarchy.
We don't want another dictatorship.
People of Iran have actually more than twice, perhaps three times, Reza Pahlavi, the grandfather of the current Raza, was thrown out of Iran, was overthrown.
Of course, his son was put in power.
And then his son was thrown out of Iran before 1953.
And in a coup, he was brought back.
This was against the will of the Iranian people.
Yes.
Extent the CIA.
And it's forced on the Iranian people.
True.
And of course, in 1979.
So over and over, Iranian people have said, we don't want dictatorships.
I mean, how else should they say?
And if you take a look at what Rezal Pahlavi calls the program that he announced in summer of last year, the three executive, legislative, and judiciary body that he introduces, he's the head of all of them.
He has to approve the heads of and the members of all of these.
So all the power is concentrated in him.
This is even worse than what Khomeini said before he took power, at least before he got into power.
He was clever enough to not tell the people what his plan was.
Reza Pahlavi, from the very beginning in this plan, very clearly says everything ends with him at him.
He has to approve everything.
So this is a clear authoritarian government that he's proposing.
And the people of Iran have said no.
You also mentioned, if I may add, that people of Iran will not rise and get killed and sacrifice their life in such large numbers, if any at all, to bring another dictatorship.
People of Iran did not rise to bring Reza Pahlavi.
People of Iran rose because of horrible, horrible political economic conditions.
I think people don't realize that the I hope with the number of guests that we've had on in the last two weeks, which I think is just remarkable, people will realize the Educational level, the intelligence, the common sense, and the decency of the basic Iranian people.
Which has been hijacked by a hijacked by a really truly monumentally insane two Ayatollahs.
Yes.
And an equally flawed, vicious Pahlavi family.
And by the way, people should realize Pahlavi is a made-up name.
The original Shah was like a Cossack sergeant.
Yes, correct.
Who they the British pulled out and manipulated.
It was a combination of, you know, forever it's worth.
He's not like European royalty.
He's a guy, he's a Cossack sergeant who was well known because he was an excellent killer.
Yes.
And the British, he came to the attention of the British because he did a good job of killing the people the British wanted killed.
He was actually involved in the bombardment of the first Majles or Congress in Iran for the constitutional monarchy that back then was a desire of the freedom fighters in Iran.
Of course, now we have evolved since then.
We've kicked out monarchies three times.
We don't want another monarchy.
People of Iran do not want another monarchy.
We want a republic.
We want a democratic government with people, representatives elected by the people and for the people, as you're familiar.
And by the way, if I unfortunately, I didn't get a chance, I wanted to thank you for the opportunity first.
I should have said that in the beginning, to talk about this.
And I truly appreciate you bringing up the issue of Iran as it's been in the news so much.
And particularly.
I mean, it means a lot to me.
And I've told Madame Rajavi and her inner circle that they did me a favor in bringing me into this.
It's one of the most wonderful things.
We appreciate your support.
I've ever done very much.
There's nothing.
I mean, I work for Ronald Reagan.
And the thing about, and I always compare this from the beginning of being involved with them, I compare this to how Ronald Reagan engineered the liberation of Eastern Europe.
And we didn't use soldiers.
We didn't use military.
We used our moral support, our economic support, our moral support, which in many ways is more powerful in order to liberate all of Eastern Europe.
I mean, those people in Poland and Lithuania and Latvia, before Ronald Reagan, were living in the same kind of dictatorship you were living in.
My daughter-in-law grew up in Latvia when it was a communist country.
She can tell you what it was like.
Now, I'm going to tell you something.
You're probably worse.
The Shah was probably worse.
I'm not even talking about Ayatollah is like off the charts.
That is very true.
And I want to make you answer the question as to what we expect the West or the United States to do.
First of all, I appreciate the fact that the U.S. long time ago put the IRGC, which is the force that has kept this regime in power for 47 years.
People may not realize that.
You've never seen a Mullah carry a gun and risk their life to protect their government.
It is the IRGC and the besieged forces, plus 10, 12 more paramilitary groups that have kept this regime in power.
So they're very directly responsible for all the bloodshed in Iran.
What we expect of the West as U.S., I guess, acted as a vanguard in starting this, putting the RGC on the terrorist list, international terrorist list, international terrorist organizations list.
People On The Streets 00:14:49
We also appreciate the fact that Great Britain and Canada did this a while back.
I don't remember dates.
Yes.
As we saw recently, the European Parliament has also joined the group.
So that is the extent of what we expect of the West.
We don't want any non-Iranian boots on the ground.
As Mrs. Maryam Brajavi has said over and over, it is the responsibility and the job of the Iranian people to overthrow this regime and to work towards bringing about a free and democratic government in Iran.
We just expect that's exactly in line with what the president and the Western powers that support us want.
And it's achievable.
It's absolutely achievable.
True.
We just hope that the world, I mean, we're at a turning point now for the world to stop appeasing this regime.
They will never be, they will never become a member of the world community, a peaceful member of the world community.
You can never appease them to be democratic.
They will never be democratic.
We all witnessed what they did when they felt like their government was about to be thrown out.
They will kill as long as they can.
And ultimately, to answer your very first question, yes, the Iranian people will eventually overthrow this government, relying on the leadership on the ground in Iran of MEK.
They've been, again, fighting against two dictatorships.
They have more than 60 years of experience fighting against dictatorships and the political leadership of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, that for almost 45 years now has been exercising the exercising governing as a democratic government.
NCRI has 25 committees acting very similar to government ministries, specializing in different areas of governance, from education to economics to sports to health to environment, all of those.
They've been practicing as a government for about 45 years now.
Who better to manage the transitional period than a body that has 45 years of experience?
You look at what those who are trying to prop up Reza Pa'lavi in Georgetown in March of 2023, they propped up this coalition of like nine people, some actors, some soccer players and all that, and tried to sell that to the Iranian people as a coalition for overthrowing the Iranian regime.
That coalition didn't last more than three weeks.
One of the big objections is, oh, this will become another Iraq.
Well, this is very different than Iraq.
First of all, Iraq was a revolution we created.
We invaded, maybe good reason, bad reason, people differ about that, or a mistake about weapons of mass destruction, whatever.
But America and our allies went in and overthrew Saddam Hussein.
The Iraqi people, maybe they wanted to, maybe they didn't, but it wasn't the Iraqi people who overthrew him.
In your case, the Iranian people have been working at this since at least 2009, certainly at least since 2014-15.
Big, big demonstrations in 2018 and 19.
In 2022, when the young lady was killed, I thought it might happen.
I thought it might actually happen.
So, you've been on the verge of overthrowing them several times.
The last one was met with barbarian force.
You almost heard of.
If they're saying now 30,000, but I think when you finished, it's going to be even higher than that.
It's almost impossible to figure out how they could kill so many people in that period of time.
But in any event, so you have a population in 140, 150 cities that has already expressed its will.
We're not putting it on them.
400 cities already imposed their will.
And finally, they're asking us for outside support, not boots on the ground.
Correct.
They're not even asking them for what I believe is absolutely necessary.
And there is a division.
There is a division among Iranian patriots and there's a division among Americans.
I believe that with the force that we have there, we should make it easier and take out as much of their military capacity as possible for the good of the Iranian patriots, but for the good of the West too.
This is a great opportunity to render that.
I mean, gossip, it doesn't work.
Let's at least render them impossible to do any damage to anybody for the next 20 years.
Overthrowing this regime will finally bring peace to the Middle East.
You've seen what the regime has done with its proxies, with the Hezbollah, with the Houthis in Yemen, with Hamas in Palestine, in Hashtar-Sha'bee's in Iraq.
And of course, who can forget Bashar al-Assad?
They completely propped up that guy for over 10 years.
As Khamenei himself had said, if they don't fight outside of Iran in these fronts, they would have to fight in the streets of Tehran and Mashhad and Ahwaz and Shiraz and Tabriz.
And of course, that's what we saw with the dismantling of the proxies by the West, particularly by the US.
We have seen now that Khamenei had to do what he said.
He has to fight inside Iran for its survival.
You also mentioned, or some people mentioned another thing, concerned that if we overthrow, that's always the boogeyman of a dictator.
If we overthrow this regime, we might have Iran might disintegrate into different ethnicities and different regions with the Kurds and the Azeris, with the Baluchis and all that.
This is absolute nonsense.
This is what Mohammad Shah Pahlavi also said before his overthrow, that, oh, if you overthrow me, Iran is going to fall apart.
Iran is going to break up into pieces.
We saw that that didn't happen.
The culture in Iran is that all of these ethnic minorities consider themselves more Iranian than anybody else or equal to anybody else.
No one wants to secede from Iran.
We are all Iranians.
Quite the contrary, if you bring somebody like if somehow through a miracle, which I believe is impossible, there's no way for Riza Palabi to ever take power.
He's an incompetent.
I agree with that.
I agree with that.
He's never been able to hold even seven people together, let alone I think I know what you're going to say because I've talked to a lot of the ethnic minorities.
You'll have a revolution.
They don't want him.
They don't want him.
If the United States is stupid enough to put that Nerdwell in power, the Aziris, they hate him.
They hate him.
The Kyrgyz, the Kurds, the Balushis, and you name it, the Christians, they will all go.
They'll all go to their natural habitat, which is going to create a war in the region because the Aziris will, the Azerias will go to Azerbaijan, Turkey will like that.
The Kurds will go to Kurdistan, and Turkey will get into a war over that.
And you're going to have it's crazy.
It's just crazy.
I don't know how to say it any better than if you know that area at all, just a little of the history of it, you realize that bringing this guy back would be an absolute region.
You really want to talk about going from bad to worse.
You may have accomplished it.
Right.
I don't ever believe that Iran would break up into pieces.
No, but these people will fight any authoritarian central government.
If, again, the chances are not even one in a billion that Riza Palavi, he is incompetent.
There's just no way he's going to come.
And we all know you cannot change a government by bombing.
It takes force on the ground, on the streets, Iranian people.
May I put in one good word for bombing?
I'm sorry.
Can I put in one good word for bombing?
Put one good word.
You know what it can do?
It can take out a lot of their heads of state.
It can take out their places where they have their arms.
It could take them out.
Perhaps.
And the way we bomb is not, you saw what happened.
It almost could be done without any danger to the civilian population, the way we do it.
And with the help that we have inside Iran, remember when the Israelis hit Iran?
They hit the buildings.
They just took out the scientist in the building.
Yes.
Department 5D.
It's Department 5D.
There's an extraordinary amount of intelligence.
Intelligence.
What the heck is in the same way that we got Maduro out?
And I mean, the Ayatollah apparently just came out of some tunnel a day ago.
I guess he doesn't really believe that he's going to get some great reward in paradise, or he wouldn't care, right?
It's not about paradise.
It's about power.
They know that.
It's all about money and power.
To me, this religion thing is nonsense.
They're all an organized crime.
They're an organized crime group.
Using religion as a thing to get the masses.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
It's all about power and money, as you said.
The thing about bombing, the point I was trying to make is that it ultimately takes people on the streets to fight this.
I agree with that.
I agree with you completely.
If there isn't a follow-through on the streets, it will do no good.
But you have that.
Yes.
And I know there's a division of opinion about that among the Iranian patriots and among the American military.
There is a division, and I can see both sides.
I just think right now it needs a little push.
Perhaps.
That's my opinion.
That's my opinion.
I could be wrong.
Well, I guess we'll see how it's going to unfold.
The one thing I wanted to point out is that, yes, it's that force on the ground through a network of resistance units organized and trained by the MEK in order to fight against IRGC to defend the people.
And what happened in this end of 2025, early 26 uprising, it was wherever the resistance units were involved, they were able to actually protect the innocent people who had come out to demonstrate against the regime.
They were able to block certain streets to prevent the oppressive forces, the IRGC, from quickly, I guess, sending their thugs with heavy military-grade weaponry to kill people.
It was the resistance units that actually slowed down that process, slowed down that offensive by the regime.
So it is with the help of this network that we will ultimately organize the people.
And that is part of their responsibility to organize the uprisings and to protect the people against IRGC.
And that's what they did.
Wherever they were present, we believe that the number of casualties on the part of the people was significantly lower than some other areas where they may not have been present.
Because again, over many, many, many years, they've been trained to prepare for such a situation to defend the people.
Well, thank you very, very much.
It was extraordinarily helpful.
And the analysis is extraordinarily helpful to my audience.
You know, it must be in the last five weeks we've had an education.
And it's really a little ridiculous that this hasn't happened.
This didn't happen 47 years ago.
No, it's the I've been opposed to it since 47 years ago.
I thought we should have taken out the Ayatollah when he took our hostages.
Where the hell did he come off taking our hostages?
I was surprised.
I mean, it's the only thing probably that disappoints me about President Reagan.
He got the hostages back, but he should have gotten rid of the Ayatollah.
Perhaps he's not ready for that.
And so should President Clinton.
And so should President Bush won.
Obama wasn't going to do it because he gave him money.
Striking at the Ayatollah 00:03:25
Right.
Trump tried to do it.
Unfortunately.
First time around, wasn't ready yet.
Biden gave him a fortune.
Yes.
And now I do believe that Trump, Trump will not leave office with the Ayatollah there.
I believe that.
I believe it.
We'll see.
Again, we appreciate world support, moral support, and in addition to moral support, economic sanctions against IRGC.
They are very important.
They have all the primary functions of the government are in their hands.
You could make an argument that you all you needed was economic sanctions, but it would take four or five years and another million people would die.
Now, is that worth it?
I don't believe so.
Yes, but okay, but thank you very, very much.
We'll be together again.
You're very, very thank you, thank you very much for the opportunity.
God bless your people.
Mr. Mayor, I appreciate, and I know the Iranian people appreciate your support over the many years, as you mentioned.
You can't imagine, you can't imagine how much of a fan you've made me of the Iranian people.
But thank you.
God bless you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
This, this, you turn this around from the way in which Iran, Persia, has created massive problems in the Middle East and the world.
Look, this, first of all, is not a little country.
We conceive of it as a little country.
Geographically, it's one of the biggest in the Middle East.
In terms of resources, it may or may not be the richest.
It just wasn't the best exploited.
But it almost doesn't matter if it's the richest.
It's rich enough.
They're at a level of wealth in natural resources.
And now these rare earth minerals and everything else where it almost doesn't matter.
If you think of that nation on the side of democracy, on the side of decency, on the side of representational government and human rights, you flipped, you flipped a major part of the world.
And if you knew the MEK and POMI as I do, you may even have flipped the Muslim religion to a way of dealing with it, the way we deal with our religions.
Follow it if you want to, don't follow it if you don't want to, and get rid of the old shit.
The stoning crap.
And sure, it was in the Old Testament, but nobody does it.
They got rid of it 500 years before Christ.
they still have idiots who are stoning people not not not the so this is an enormous opportunity And I agree for the first time in a long time with both the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal, which you know I fight with, particularly the Wall Street Journal, all the time because they're such arrogant intellectuals.
John Ratcliffe's Insights 00:10:37
But they're right today.
100% right.
And Mr. President, I know you're right much more often than they are.
And you're probably going to be right on this.
I don't really know what your position is completely.
But what they're telling you, it's as good as if they were in your administration.
The two editorials are the two best editorials they've written in a very, very long time.
Let me take it from my favorite paper first, the New York Post.
The Iranian regime, which has been spreading death and terror around the world for almost half a century, shame on us that we've allowed them to do that, is close to collapse.
What better time for President Trump to strike and kick over the rotten timbers supporting it, helping liberate its 90 million people, transform the Middle East, and ensure his place in history.
He must not miss this chance.
Mr. President, the great American presidents that a lot of people say the great American presidents are the presidents that had wars.
We had the Spanish-American War.
Nobody remembered.
The great American presidents are the liberators.
George Washington, he liberated us originally.
Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves with the sacrifice of 300 to 400,000 people who fought to free the slaves, mostly white people.
Would you please remember that?
Franklin Roosevelt, who was otherwise a terrible president, for liberating Europe.
Of course, then we can say delivering Europe to Stalin, but he did liberate Europe from the Nazis.
And people like to forget the second part and make him a hero because that was quite a liberation with the Nazis.
To deliver us over to the tender mercies of the communists wasn't exactly, I mean, I just think you should just take him down from what's that?
Mount Everest?
No, Mount Rushmore.
Take him down from Mount Rushmore and put Reagan there.
And then Reagan, who delivered Eastern Europe from atheistic communism.
And they haven't gone back.
In fact, they are our strongest supporters.
You want to talk about Europe.
We want an alliance with Europe.
And we worry about England becoming Muslim and France becoming Muslim and Germany becoming, who knows what.
I'm hoping Italy will become something great under the great prime minister they have in Greece.
But, okay, but we got a solid Eastern Europe.
I'll go to war with them on my side, Poland and Latvia and Lithuania.
Estonia was supposed to be pro-Russian.
They organized Latvia and Lithuania against Russia because they saw this intelligent people.
Maybe they had a misconception about Russia.
Like the people at Kharkiv that were pro-Russian.
They weren't just pro-Russian.
They were Russian.
They're the biggest opponents of Putin in Ukraine.
They're right on the border.
Sweden and Finland join EU and NATO?
Pacifist countries?
I mean, that's the world we can have.
You take out Iran and you convert them into what they can be with this diaspora they have is, wow.
I mean, the biggest problem is we're not going to want to give up a lot of them.
These are people that are working for NASA.
These are people that are creating things for us that are unreal.
But we'll give up some of it.
And they'll give a lot back.
It makes the ability to have peace in the Middle East very, very doable.
Because no matter how much, Mr. President, you try with the Abraham Accords, Iran will find a way to interrupt them.
Like they did with the, I mean, a good deal of the reason for the attack of October 7 was to break up the Abraham Accords.
Now, it probably in history will turn out to be the worst mistake they ever made.
A horrible thing.
I mean, no solace for the 1,200 people who were ripped apart like animals.
But if we just look at it as a historical choice, I would think even now, the people who have any degree of reflection in Iran realize, boy, that was a big mistake.
We were sitting here before that happened.
We had Amas.
We had Esbel.
Thought they were very powerful.
We had Assad everybody thought he was very powerful.
We had half of we had at least half of Iraq and we had the Iranian people completely bulldozed.
And we had China and Russia thinking we'd be heck of a good good allies.
What an axis we had.
We had like a uh, a forming uh, a massive alliance in what we would call the northern Middle East.
Right, because of Biden, we started to see defections in the southern Middle East before Biden came along.
Saudi Arabia uh, and all those countries were moving over toward Israel.
Right, they did the Abraham Accords with everybody except Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia was getting real close in the first uh Trump administration to coming over.
Their problems at that point were fairly realistic, their own street.
And then Iran gets the wonderful, wonderful benefit of their biggest financial supporter being Joe Biden.
And uh, what?
What does?
What does uh Saudi Arabia do?
Saudi Arabia said, we got to make peace with them somehow.
Who's going to defend us?
We don't have nuclear weapons.
Why would Israel use their nuclear weapons for us?
Maybe they would have if they'd been able to think a little further ahead, but that could have cost a revolution on their street and the royal family, believe it or not, is extremely insecure.
The royal family is constantly in fear of their being overthrown by the street.
I, I think uh, Muhammad Bin Salmon has moved that a little, but he grew up under it and i'm not sure he can move it completely.
The only thing that'll move it is if they get Iran gone, and the is the Islamic republic of Iran is no longer there to affect the street.
When they're gone, Muhammad Bin Salmon will be able to, within a very short period of time, accomplish what he wants to accomplish with no real opposition in the Muslim world.
And I, I i've i've told this to anyone that wants to hear, including the president.
I believe this, you're not going to have peace in the Middle East as long as you have the ayatollah or a theocratic government seeking to achieve the objectives of the Quran in Iran.
When that's gone and they have a chance to move on to modernity, then they have a chance to do what Ataturk was doing.
That got interrupted and Erdogan has turned completely around.
And also, you know, when the president says, this guy's my friend and that guy my friend friend, I hope Erdogan is really not his friend.
Erdogan's a really, really bad guy, really bad guy.
A lot of blood on his hands and of course he pretends to be a very um, a very, very conservative Muslim.
I I don't think he's anything but a power hungry, money hungry killer.
And that's from personal experience.
I mean, i've dealt with him, dealt with him even on prisoner exchanges.
So this is this, isn't like.
Oh gee, i'm right about him.
I'm not sure the CIA is, but I am, I can't say the new CIA, but I did tell the president when he first came into office if he just did the opposite of what the CIA told him to do, he'd be very successful.
Now, if you think about his first term, that might have been good advice, Ted.
100%.
I don't know about now.
I mean, it is going through a transformation.
We like John Ratcliffe.
I like John a lot.
But yeah, there's a lot of other people who are not John Ratcliffe at the CIA at the same time.
So I would be careful.
Come on.
I love John Ratcliffe.
I love Marco and Hegseth.
But I think if they're what I think they are, they realize they're not in total control.
They realize they are gaining it and they realize they have to gain it.
You can listen, and sometimes we can analyze what Pete or Marco say, and I can show you how they're hedging things because they know they're not getting completely or no, no, maybe they're not.
They're not sure.
They're not sure if they're getting straight like they should be.
They should be.
The Secretary of State should be sure that he's getting a straight, honest appraisal from his ambassador.
That looks up for the best interests of the United States of America under President Trump's administration.
You're right, Mayor.
But just practically speaking, we're talking about these guys coming to these positions, these organizations that have been around for decades, right?
With people that have had their own motivations that have been involved for decades.
So the mess is too big for me.
I'm going to go on television so I can get some women watching.
A Story of Suits 00:02:55
I got to get a haircut.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I heard that.
Several women called up and said, we're not going to watch because Ted hasn't gotten a haircut.
I like Stephen.
Go get my I've offered.
Yeah, I could do it for you, Ted.
I am connected.
He is the best wingman.
I am convinced.
America's a wingman.
I have done horrible things to my hair.
I am convinced that I am an instinctual genetic barber.
You know why?
Why?
One of my grandfathers was a barber, Louis.
Louis DeVanzo was a barber.
He was a barber from Naples.
And he was supposedly a fabulous barber.
Now, how am I doing with, see that thing I got about pressing out my clothes and all?
Do you see that?
Yeah.
How do they look?
Absolutely spectacular.
My other grandfather was a custom tailor.
My other grandfather was a custom tailor who made, in those days, extraordinarily expensive suits and was for his day quite quite quite successful as an Italian.
Those are both high.
He would be interested.
And his wife, his wife, his wife got annoyed because he would take like six days to make a suit and then they wouldn't get paid until six days later and they needed the money, right?
So she went to work for a company and the company was one of the first three companies that was organized by the International Ladies Government Workers Union.
She was one of the original members of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union and she got a retirement.
I don't, it must have been in those days worth a million dollars.
Right.
She got a retirement.
She bought two summer homes.
Well, back when because she was one of the original members of the International Garment Workers Union.
And he would constantly sort of not make fun of her, but sort of look down on the fact that she used a machine.
He never did a single suit with a machine.
And I wonder why are Italians.
And eventually he made a lot of money, but it took a while for like the first couple of suits took forever to make and they were starving.
So why did Italians, why are all the suit makers Italian?
I mean, even now, right?
Even now, the best, I still think the best suits are made in Italy, even much better than England or English suit makers make you look like skinny little wimps.
Oh, the skinny tie.
I'm not a big fan of the skinny tie.
Well, it's the fabric, too.
Like, you know, that's the best fabric because honestly, in New York, you can get a beautiful suit made for you.
Singapore's Strategic Ships 00:14:21
Sure, you can.
In New York.
I'm going to tell you a story sometime of a suit that I got made in Singapore.
Several suits I got made in Singapore that I left behind.
That's the way to go, though.
Myself and all of my security people.
Next time I have John Huvain on or John Fleming, I will have them tell the story.
It's a hilarious story, hilarious story.
I think I've heard it, but we'll save it.
You've heard the story, but it's a great story.
We'll save it for another time.
And it was in Singapore, too.
I mean, in Singapore, it's like an honest, sort of an honest city, but they do have phony tailors.
I have to tell you that.
Where?
Singapore.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, do you know that I get Singapore and Shanghai mixed up?
Not in my mind, but in words.
Okay.
So sometimes I'll say Singapore and I'll mean Shanghai and sometimes I'll say Shanghai.
And they're very different.
Singapore is an independent country, hated by China, hates China.
In a way, it's a love-hate relationship with China.
It's a capitalist city.
It's a city that we know with very, very strong.
Remember the famous incident is the guy who got caned under the Clinton administration in Singapore.
And it has like, it started one of the first sovereign wealth funds that at one time used to be the wealthiest in the world.
My understanding is that it's thriving.
Oh, it still is, but I would imagine some of the Arab countries have more wealth to put in.
I think, but I'm not sure.
It's still one of the best.
It's the one they follow the most in terms of expertise and guidance.
And if they invest, everybody tries to invest.
But it's quite a country.
And it has a functioning relationship with China.
I think China respects it in a certain way.
They respect Singapore.
Well, the proximity, the size of each other.
They respect it.
Because Singapore can do what they can't do.
Because Singapore uses complete capitalism, complete free market, and they make a fortune.
And China is, you know, half starving.
And now the other half is in, I don't know if you call it inflation, deflation, or property is worth nothing.
And remember, they have another half of their population that's third world, fourth world.
They're not inflation.
They wouldn't even know what inflation or deflation is.
They don't know what food is.
So let's take a little time to talk about this Iranian thing and the choices that exist.
And let's take a look at what is absolutely necessary whenever you consider anything, any situation that's geopolitical.
And that is to look at a map, which I know young Americans never do because they don't even know what a map is.
It's like asking them to ad without using their cell phone.
You know about the ones that couldn't tell time, right?
The kids that went to school that couldn't tell time.
It's getting worse.
Oh no, it's that bad.
The AI is getting worse.
It's making it 100 times worse.
What's that little one there, that big one?
Roman numerals?
Why would we have Roman numerals?
Rome's been gone.
Roman, I can't read Roman numerals.
They can't read, you know, traditional numerals.
Divide four into eight.
Hold on, let me ask Chen GBT really quickly.
What does that mean?
Divide four into eight.
Why would you, first of all, why would you want to do that?
Why would you, I mean, what practical, when am I going to ever have to divide four into eight if I sell drugs?
Oh, it's so sad.
So here's here.
Can we see this now?
This is the area that we are talking about fresh without seeing all our ships there, their ships, whatever.
First thing you noted about it is how big Iran is, right?
Yep.
Bigger than Iraq, bigger than Trump, believe me.
Ah, but not as big as Saudi Arabia, right?
However, probably a lot more useful land than Saudi Arabia.
Is it wealthier than Saudi Arabia?
Who knows?
Who knows?
It really depends on who exploits it and how you exploit it.
Probably Saudi Arabia.
I won't even say that.
I think it would really require a hell of an analysis.
But it is a better terrain in the sense that in the southern part there, you've got a lot of mountains.
So it's not just like just a big desert.
The desert is sort of in the middle here.
And that's where, remember, M.E.K. found the delivery systems in the desert.
Right.
Now, here's the thing to know about Iran.
Iran is at least 50%, could be 55% Persian origin.
So substitute the word Persia, and that's the way it looks in all your Bible books.
If you go look at the time of Moses or the time of Jesus or the time of Abraham or the time of the, it only became Iran under the crooked Pahavi family in the 1930s when he was flirting around with, honestly, he was flirting around with Hitler.
The reason they threw him out was the present idiot's grandfather was a Nazi.
He loved Hitler.
So the British said they actually invaded Iran, which was a little detour from the Second World War.
And they pulled him out and they put his numbskull, silly little son in, who they controlled then for the next number of years.
That's the one who was the father.
And what has happened is, as usually happens, so the old man was a massive killer and a very tough guy, a Cossack sergeant.
Not a royalty.
They made him, the Pahavi is a made-up name.
Then they threw him out, put his son in who hated him.
Son said he was the most vicious man he ever knew, his father.
The son, however, did not have the toughness that the old man had.
And the son couldn't decide a damn thing.
In fact, he ran away in 53 when Mossadegh created a democracy.
He just ran, okay, okay, okay.
Not me, not me.
And the British brought him back, killed everybody and brought him back.
And the Americans, the CIA.
So that's the country that gets overthrown, thinking they're going to put in a democracy and they get the Ayatollah.
But I want you to notice, first of all, how big a country it is, okay?
It's not a small, it's two and a half times the size of Iraq.
So the idea of invading it and conquering it is stupid.
And you don't have to.
Now, I can do it on here.
Well, let me do it on here first.
But basically, we've positioned ourselves in terms of our military.
We positioned ourselves in great spots, I would say.
We're here.
Okay.
We're here.
We've got one in the Red Sea, just one.
And you can see why, because you can get jammed in the Red Sea.
You get stuck there.
We've got a big carrier there.
And then we got about four here.
You say, well, why would you have them in the Mediterranean?
I'll tell you why.
It is not very far.
I mean, think about it.
This is not very far from here, right?
This part of Iran.
This is not very far from here.
And this is not very far from here.
We don't have to use any land bases.
And these kiss asses will not allow us to use land bases.
Saudi Arabia says, we're very afraid of Iran, but you can't use our bases.
United Arab Emirates that hates them, hates them.
Probably there's no one that's more opposed uniformly to Iran, even has opposed Saudi Arabia getting somewhat close to Iran than the United Arab Emirates.
Can't use our bases.
We got two there.
I haven't heard what Qatar has said.
Now, you'd say Qatar would be the first one to say yes or no, because they're the ones who play both sides against the middlemost.
But they've got our biggest base.
And if they don't let us do it, I don't know how long that base is going to be there.
And that base goes and they may go.
That's right down here.
It's right here.
See how close that is?
It's right there.
Right there.
We have a base in Kuwait.
Nothing's been said about not using Kuwait.
After what we did for Kuwait, I can't imagine they're not going to, look at that.
We just, we could walk across and hit them.
So the ships allow us to do it without any base.
If we could use 10 of the four, or how about six of the 14 bases we have all around here, right?
Then we can take out whatever the hell we have to take out pretty easily.
So now we can see where our ships are.
We do have one that shows us exactly where the ships are.
Here they are.
Or at least as of about two days ago, probably a few more there now.
So there you see the Abraham Lincoln, which is the one that today took out the drone.
And you can see that they're really, they're really right off the coast of the Emirates, really.
Right there off the coast of the Emirates.
And when we say carrier strike group, you're looking at, they only have three battleships.
It's really 12 ships.
Yeah.
And it's actually 12 ships that are there, not just the Lincoln.
And it's our second most powerful aircraft carrier.
Then we have the McCain, which is a battleship.
These are named for senators, right?
McCain, Anano, and Murphy and Russell.
They're all named for senators, U.S. senators who paid for them.
And then the Roosevelt, I think Theodore Roosevelt's strike group is to the north.
So I don't know if you could, there would be no, and then also, if I'm going to look at the Mediterranean, look at the Mediterranean.
The Mediterranean has the USS Roosevelt, the other Roosevelt, the Buckley, the amphibious Ready Group, the USS Arley Burke, which is probably one of our most diversified naval vessels, the USS Georgia.
That's all within striking distance of them.
That's got to be about 30% of our military that's sitting there.
Yeah.
And maybe, maybe, oh, and by the way, right in the middle of the Red Sea, look who's there.
You'll recognize this name, my friend.
USS Cole.
Coming back to Hanum.
Yeah, yeah.
They want revenge.
They want revenge.
You know, they want revenge.
And they're in the middle of the Red Sea, which means they're not getting out.
So they got to fight their way out.
They could get jammed in there.
Notice we only have one ship in the middle of the Red Sea.
It wouldn't be intelligent to have too many ships in here because without too much, you could sort of jam us in here and jam us in there.
So this is a brilliant array.
It would be hard to believe that Iran has anything to match that.
I'll tell you another really strange thing that you won't believe because we exaggerate this stuff a lot.
China or Russia couldn't match that either, despite what they say.
They do not have the capacity.
They're five to 10 years away, not even in terms of the numbers, but of having the capacity that they have and the things that they can do.
Underground bombing, which you can't, you just won't know the bomber, underground bombing that'll go from the sea to the land and then proceed under the land.
Try doing that.
So I don't see Donald J. Trump, who's very conscious of money, right?
I don't see him sending all this there and not showing it off a little.
What do you think of that?
I don't think this would be sitting there just to scare them.
Iran Seeks Oman Talks 00:11:37
You know why?
If you did this to China, maybe even Russia, this would be a sensible thing to do.
They're rational.
They may look at this and say, I don't know.
These guys are not rational.
I'm not even sure this is going to really mean much to them.
What's going to mean much to them is what they do.
And that's why I think they're there for action, not for show.
And we'll find out, I think, in the next four or five days.
I don't know what the purpose of this meeting is in that.
Where is it going to be?
You changed the location on me.
The meeting for supposed to be in Turkey, but Iran is asking that the meeting be moved to I want to get this right.
I believe Oman and just be the United States and they just want the United States and Iran.
Yeah, Iran requests nuclear talks with the U.S. be moved to Oman amid rising tensions.
The request follows renewed nuclear outreach as tensions escalate in the Strait of Hermuz.
Iran has requested that these talks with the U.S. be held in Oman this Friday.
And this is according to a source talking to the media.
The request comes as Axios is reporting that Iranian officials are also pressing to limit the talks to a bilateral U.S.-Iran format, excluding other Arab and regional countries.
Why would they have talked about it?
So far, the Arab countries that I can think of have been supportive of Iran in that they've said we should not do an attack now.
Probably the strongest is the one they want to move out of, which is Turkey.
So it's hard to figure out the strategy, isn't it?
As to why they want to move?
Why wouldn't you want someone supporting your position in a negotiation?
I mean, maybe Saudi Arabia doesn't really support that position.
And they know that.
The Emirates really doesn't.
I'm not even sure the Emirates has that position.
I don't know which Arab countries they had there.
I thought that I thought, well, it is in Turkey, so we know they have Erdogan there.
And I think they have Saudi Arabia there, who has publicly expressed you shouldn't attack.
I think the Emirates has also, but very, very softly.
Believe it or not, Qatar hasn't.
You would think Qatar would be the first one to do it.
But Qatar has the big airbase and doesn't know what America will do if they tell us we can't use, but we'll use the airbase anyway.
I mean, what are they going to do about it?
Well, I think Oman is the only country that's supportive of them.
Wasn't that one place they wanted to have it for a while?
Oman?
That's where they want to have it now.
Oh, okay.
That's where they want to have it now, not Turkey.
They want to move it from Turkey to Oman.
So Erdogan is not strong enough for them.
I have a feeling they want to speak to Trump, the president, through...
I seriously doubt that Trump is going to get on an airplane and head over there to Oman or...
The president's not going, but I think Iran wants to have this conversation directly with the United States.
And of course, that is President Trump at the top through Witcoff and through Kushner.
I have a feel that just I just feel that they may want us.
The foreign minister was on CNN the other day.
They're being very careful with their wording because of what they saw in Venezuela and of course with Syria and all their proxies have been totally not totally, but they've been severely their proxies are useless to them.
They don't even exist anymore, really.
So they're kind of in somewhat of a corner.
But what do you think of that, Mayor?
Do you think that's a possibility?
Iran's moving it and they trust Oman to host them, but they want to talk to the U.S. and the U.S. alone to try and figure this out.
What are your thoughts on that possibility?
I don't understand why you wouldn't want, given the fact that we have terrible relationships with them, right?
And tremendous amount of distrust for them.
You wouldn't want some intermediary with whom we purport to have a good relationship.
I mean, for me, I don't understand why we have a good relationship with Erdogan, but we do.
But so therefore, I would want Erdogan there if I were the Chinese.
And I would certainly want, I'm not sure I'd want Saudi Arabia.
I don't trust Saudi Arabia's position that they don't want us to attack.
I mean, deep down in 14 or 1500 years of Saudi Arabian history, they hate Persia.
And the best thing that could ever happen to them is the end of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which after all challenges their position as the head of the Islamic religion.
Islam should be centered in Mecca, not in Iran.
They're Sunnis.
The Shiites, Shiites are only like 15% of the Muslims in the world.
And the Sunnis consider the Shiites like Mongols.
Right.
I mean, one thing to consider, it might be even just a matter of personal safety for the parties involved if they think that they're vulnerable in Istanbul.
I mean, there's a lot of targets on those backs from a lot of different guns.
So if they might have, they might have known about some sort of incredible.
You're in your home territory.
Erdogan is completely pro-Iran.
Who does the Iranian regime trust more?
Oman?
They have a longer time.
Oman, probably more, because Oman, Erdogan can turn on you because he's so powerful.
Oman is just a little piece of crap and they can and they have unique connection, you know, Oman and Iran.
If I had to completely trust one or the other and I were them, I would trust Oman over Erdogan.
Look, Erdogan is capable of going both ways.
Or maybe they're just seeing if the U.S. is willing to negotiate.
And it isn't a, which is quite possible.
It isn't a fake, like we did last time.
I didn't want to, I didn't even negotiate and we bombed the shit out of them.
Don't give away the store here.
As we're heading there to negotiate, we're bombing them.
And Oman would be, yeah, strategically for them.
And just different.
Like the one, it's different than the plan, you know?
With her straight to the.
Well, it's very interesting because there are very few leaks, which is admirable, I guess, annoying, because we don't like very few leaks from them and no leaks from us.
I mean, we don't.
We have no real, like you don't have any leagues saying, well, the president's really going to bomb them or the president really isn't going to bomb them.
Or he's done a very, very good job of tightening up his administration.
Because I'm not sure he shared it with many people.
Well, maybe Congress.
This is the reason he doesn't tell anybody because right now, normal situation in America, there'd be several good leaks out about what he was going to do.
And I think he learned from his first administration.
I'd assume Rubio knows.
Hakes it has to know because he's got to carry it out.
The two guys, like the two guys going to negotiate, may not know.
He may not have told them.
Well, so who needs to know?
If he's going to do an attack and he's got a date for it, the military has got to prepare for it.
So he's got to deal.
He's got to tell Hexet.
And Hexet's got to tell the Joint Chiefs.
And so far, that's been an enormously reliable conduit, right?
Right.
Well, it's being reported by Axios that Iran is hoping to change the venue and format and that they want to do it in Oman because Iran believes they can limit the talks to nuclear issues and not discuss broader topics like missiles and proxy groups that are more of a priority for other countries in the region, such as Turkey.
And so that's at least Iran's what they're telegraphing to and if we say yes to that, it's very hard to even interpret what that means.
Exactly.
We just got to do it.
It could mean we're being agreeable with them.
It also could mean that this meeting doesn't mean very much and we're just trying to fake them out.
So what the heck?
Well, we'll say Oman and on the way to Oman, we'll start bombing Tehran.
Discussions are ongoing about whether other countries from the region will join the talks.
It does appear now that the U.S. is open to moving it to Oman.
This, according to Axios, it seems awfully accommodating of us to do that.
More than I would think we would be.
An Arab source.
Which leads me more to think is a setup.
An Arab source has told Axios the talks are now expected to take place in Oman on Friday with the Trump administration agreeing to this request.
This according to Axios.
Sounds like we'll agree to anything.
But the White House did decline to comment.
So these are sources not inside the Trump administration.
Axios has described it as an Arab source.
Well, and who knows what Iran had to give up just to get to that stage in the negotiation as well, right?
Like there's still a lot that hasn't been reported, hasn't been leaked that we don't know that we will find out.
Well, we'll keep checking.
You keep checking in.
Let's see what else we got to get to before we sign off.
How's Minnesota, have they burned it all down yet or Minneapolis?
Or is there something left?
Right.
I believe Tom Homan is still.
Have they declared a declaration of secession yet?
Or like Victor Davis Hansen suggests?
Right.
We're waiting for that.
He says they're the new South Carolina.
They're seceding from the Union because they won't follow the immigration laws of the United States.
Los Angeles Protests 00:06:46
Would you miss them?
Would you miss them if they left?
I like Minnesota.
I'd rather trade Los Angeles or British Columbia.
That's my trade.
Straight up trade.
Just the people, though.
Just the people, right?
No, no, I want their land.
They got great natural resources.
Okay.
What do I want all those earthquakes for?
Well, they got nice beaches.
But them have to freaking earthquake.
Yeah, the beaches and the earthquakes.
And every morning, it's cloudy there.
And it did all kind of burn.
Every morning you wake up in Los Angeles, you wake up depressed.
And that's why the people are wacky because it's because it's by four o'clock, it gets sunny.
You're right.
But imagine waking up every morning and you look outside and it's cloudy.
How do you break up?
I don't like America.
I like British Columbia much, much better.
It's like cowboy land.
John Wayne would have loved it.
Alberta.
Tough people, American types, not sissy boys like Los Angeles.
Los Angeles doesn't even have fire hydrants with water in it.
What the hell do we want that for?
Pretty basic.
At least I want a city that has fire hydrants with water in it.
But there are solar-powered tampon dispensers in the men's bathrooms.
In Minnesota.
Well, and in L.A.
Oh.
I thought tampons were exclusive to Minneapolis.
Oh, no.
This isn't really funny, you know.
Well, it's just so absurd.
What planet are you?
The Iran playbook reveals Tehran had long planned its bloodbath on protesters.
Resistance group says, this was today's press conference, right?
Iran's ruling clerics knew a nationwide revolt was coming and plotted a brutal, premeditated crackdown months in advance, according to explosive new audio recordings and secret regime documents released Tuesday by the most prominent Iranian opposition group in the United States.
Yeah, the one that is constantly maligned and misrepresented.
A brilliant, brilliant counterintelligence, by the way.
The National Council of Resistance of Iran, whose intelligence first identified Iran's nuclear program way back in 2002, and you would think that would have given him the credibility from then on, said the Tehran regime coldly mapped out a mass slaughter of protesters, including orders to cut off the internet at the right time, unleash live fire on crowds, embed undercover agents in demonstrations, and manipulate protest chants to weaken the uprising.
Sounds like the groups in the paid groups in Minneapolis.
That Ms. Good and Mr. Pretty.
Pretty.
Pretty?
Mr. Pretty, I call him Pretty.
Good and Pretty.
This was not panic.
This was a plan.
They anticipated a national uprising and prepared to crush it.
Protest erupted in more than, I didn't even realize it was 400 cities across 31 provinces, sweeping in students, workers, women, ethnic minorities, entire families.
Crowds chanted death to Khomeini and death to the dictator, directly challenging Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khomeini in scenes that terrified the regime.
Even Khomeini recently admitted the unrest threatened the regime's survival, calling it an attempted coup.
He also hid in a closet because he's so confident he's going to go to paradise.
He must know something we don't know, right?
This uprising caught the mullahs by surprise.
It shook the foundations of their rule, our friend Ali Reza said.
The opposition unveiled a 129-page comprehensive Tehran security plan drafted by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard's Saralah garrison.
And this was done way back in the fall of 2024 to deal with protests, like ultimate protests.
The plan, parts of which the Post has reviewed, this is the New York Post now, details identifying high-risk citizens and families likely to protest.
At what point to deploy RRGC forces?
When to impose internet blackouts and isolate protesters, and how to escalate the crackdown from police control to military suppression.
It also laid out the main reason behind civilians' distaste for the radical Islamic regime, indicating Khomeini knew well in advance that his people disapproved of his leadership, bringing on sanctions for his pursuit of nuclear weapons and support of proxy terrorist groups.
What currently causes the?
This is a quote now from the document.
What currently causes the greatest public dissatisfaction is people's concern and frustration over the repeated fluctuations of the exchange rate.
That's what started the first one at the bazaar right and consequently the disruption of prices in the market, which has affected other areas such as cultural social political, sports and so forth.
And then they have a crisis response listed here that they had put together, and it keeps escalating.
It keeps escalating in force and violence, with whatever is necessary.
NCRI also released an audio recording from an April 2025 high-level security meeting attended by Iran's intelligence minister.
In the tape played for reporters on Tuesday, officers bragged that they had neutralized all potential threats and believed another uprising was impossible.
Just months later, their worst nightmares became reality.
This was not crowd control.
This was a crime against humanity.
NCRI has identified roughly 2,257 people killed during the January crackdown.
With more names still being verified, the total death total is likely much higher, with some international estimates over 30,000, as some families declined to report their loved ones' deaths for fear of reprisal by the regime.
The dead included 150 children and 245 women that are documented, with tens of thousands wounded and more than 50,000 protesters arrested.
Well, I mean, this is a good report.
Weather's Impact Matters 00:05:54
We'll get it and we'll outline it for everyone tomorrow.
Well, that's what we're facing, and we'll have to see.
We'll have to see what happened.
It almost seems like the rest of the news is sort of like this whole Epstein had a child.
Hey, poor kid.
I hope that's not true.
That's what Fergie says.
Is Fergie all there?
I couldn't tell you, honestly.
I haven't heard him.
Okay.
I mean, I know Fergie.
I've met Fergie.
I thought she was okay, but then I also met Andrew, and he's obviously not okay.
So what kind of a judge am I?
I never met Epstein, though.
Never been on the plane and never even been near him.
I hope they find Savannah Guthrie's mother.
I think this is terrible.
And it's awful.
I hope the president didn't have the press there for the Petro meeting because he slapped a little guy around a little.
Just a few slaps.
Nothing terrible.
Just, you know, like the godfather slaps around Johnny Fontaine.
And it puts him up on the piano.
Be a man, be a man, stop crying, that kind of thing.
Right.
The guy looks like a little mafia gangster.
Why not slap him around a little?
Well, I think we've covered everything that I need to cover.
I should tell you, remember the flight we're talking about?
The fight to the moon?
Yeah.
Which is still, what's today, the fourth?
Today is the third.
So it's scheduled.
The first one is either the sixth or the seventh.
I think that they've already determined that that was, it's not a good window, the first window.
All of February?
I don't know if all of February, but I think the first launch window was not going to be a good thing.
They had a wet dress today.
What is that?
The wet dress is a rehearsal.
They had a rehearsal of the takeoff, but they didn't report on how it went.
They have a wet dress usually two or three days before they take off.
I think the first takeoff was for the sixth or seventh.
So now March 2026 is the earliest launch window.
I know.
I wanted to go.
I'm actually glad I didn't plan anything.
I know it.
I know it.
Well, if you think, I mean, and I'm not a scientist, but you got to go for the weather and you could kill these people if you're not careful.
Well, the weather, like the O-rings, right?
Like O-rings expand and contract with heat.
And we've had a very cold spell here.
It's insane.
Yeah, very unexpected.
It's absolutely, it's absolutely insane what's going on here.
So Israel.
Israel, Saudi Arabia has now basically turned on Israel.
Yep.
They've turned on Israel.
And they've had a quote out saying wherever Israel is present, there is ruin and destruction.
That was in their main government newspaper.
And this is apparently a battle between Israel, between Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi.
That's become very favorable to Israel.
And they think Abu Dhabi is going to get more benefits.
Maybe the president could straighten out his friend, Mohammed bin Salman, huh?
So the Anti-Defamation League has expressed concern about the Saudi Arabian positions and the viability of Abraham Accords.
It does say it's still open.
Saudi Arabia does say it's still open to normalization.
And there's a feeling that the UAE likes its position as being the most prominent signatory of the Abraham Accords.
And in many ways, they'd rather keep Saudi Arabia out.
It's really weird how these countries operate, huh?
One American commentator said the Saudis now seem to realize that their dispute with the Emiratis has crossed into an anti-Israel posture of increasing virulence and that it was creating problems for them with Washington.
So maybe it'll get resolved, but it'll give you a sense of how complicated this is and then how easy it is for Iran to exploit it.
And if you don't have Iran around, you can sort of settle it without outside interference.
I thought we gained a great, great advantage.
We convinced India after tremendous pressure to cut off Russia.
So India does not want to get hit with the 50% tariffs.
Tariff goes down to 18% if they don't trade with Russia.
They are the second biggest customer for Russian oil.
If they're cut off, then it's just China.
And they'll bankrupt China if it's just China.
And the messaging inside India on the deal that they reached with the U.S. is just, it's so positive.
Well, I think India loves America.
India Loves America 00:15:46
I really do.
But this playing with China, It's playing with Russia, I don't get.
Nobody is more fearful or realistic about China than India.
And they need us against, and sure, we need them, but they need us a lot more than we need them.
So I think this was a smart move.
They have to sacrifice Russia in this situation.
Yeah, I guess that's the calculation.
So everybody's worried about what happened in Texas, Ted.
You're my political expert.
What do you think?
Well, I think, you know, look, Texas has new districts.
And remember, this is a turnout game today, too, because this is a special election, or not today, rather, but in the Texas situation.
And so there's a lot more.
People want to make it a bellwether, but where's my whiteboard?
Before I go off, I'm going to tell you what I think has to happen, and we can talk about it tomorrow.
And in between, I'll tell you that Robbie Kraft may now be the best owner in the history of football by bringing the Patriots back so quickly.
Interesting.
What do you think?
Yeah, he's got a shot.
I mean, he's been a good owner.
He's taken the team.
So do they discriminate against him because he's a friend of Trump?
No, I don't think so.
I don't think he gets it.
Well, the NFL is completely communist.
Yeah, I don't think he gets it.
And like the whole Belichick thing.
You think they leave him alone?
A little bit more than they do Belichick.
Belichick gets a lot more of it because of his current Belichick dating situation.
The one thing you have to look, the guy did cheat, and that was my ass.
They all cheated.
He was front and center.
What did he do?
What did he do?
He was caught cheating.
They were video taping.
The videotaping.
So I went to the 19 years.
I went to the 1986 Super Bowl, okay?
Which I guess was in 1987, I think.
And Bill Parcells moved the Giants' last two practices to an unknown location.
He was fined by the NFL because uniformly he knew that the Denver Broncos would come and photograph his place.
They've been going on for 10 years at the Super Bowl.
Belichick was his assistant coach at the time that they did that.
Well, why wouldn't he do the same thing the other teams are doing?
They're the ones that got caught.
The idea of trying to figure out and getting spies into the other guy's stadium and trying to figure out what their plays are.
It's as old as football.
Probably Army and Navy did it in their first game.
So ridiculous.
I mean, they act like they're little, little Lord Fortlerois.
Just want to highlight, though, that Kraft did watch the world premiere of Melania with President Trump.
That's why he should get it.
The main reason he should get it.
Well, yeah.
Well, that's why they didn't give it to him.
Right.
Not that exact reason, but that general idea that he's.
But we'll read about the special election in Texas.
Look, any congressional race like that can come down to local issues, right?
The good candidate versus bad candidate.
Like Stephen said, turnout's so big.
But we really want to read into it and to really understand what happened.
But of course, the media is running with the, oh, you know, this is terrible signs for Republicans in November.
So these are the three elements of our party.
Say it.
Bring it down.
Bring it down.
What does that say?
Read it.
Social, business, populists.
Right.
That's the three elements of our party.
Now, it was at one point, the only elements of our party were this.
Bring it down, bring it down, bring it down.
We didn't have a middle-class part.
By social, I mean the people who feel strongly about abortion, the people who feel strongly about freedom of religion, the people who feel strongly about gay marriage, the people who feel strongly about a moral America, the people who are very anti-communist, that group.
The business group are the group that are with us because of low taxes, a much more business-friendly administration, right?
All of a sudden, Trump brought in something very, very different.
And then it overlaps a little.
The populist group are the disaffected, right?
Rejected.
They're not even middle-class people.
They can be rich, poor, or whatever.
They're the people who feel the government has screwed them for the last, they're the people who feel the government has screwed them for the last 50 years, right?
They're the ones with the conspiracy theories.
They're really smart people, really rational people, and wacko-wackos.
In fact, all of them have wack-o-wackos.
Yeah.
And jobs, jobs, jobs that went over, jobs that went over to, this is Pennsylvania.
This is how he gets Pennsylvania.
Michigan.
The jobs and Michigan, the jobs that went over.
So these groups have a bit of an overlapping program.
They also have some natural, they also have natural conflicts like, is it Main Street or Wall Street?
Right.
Well, business would say Wall Street, right?
Mostly.
The populists would say Main Street, right?
Right.
Social wouldn't care as much.
The populist and the social are going to be much more interested in inflation.
They're going to be much more interested in jobs.
How many jobs?
Social Security.
The business, a little bit.
Everybody overlaps, but the business probably are beyond that.
They don't really give a damn about that.
Social Security doesn't mean anything to them.
So there are natural real conflicts here.
And what is really, really necessary, and this is where we're not good.
We need a political genius to figure out what ties them all together.
What's the strongest thing at any one time that ties them all together?
Now, Trump was the thing that tied them all together in 24 because he spoke to the things that were most important to each one of the three.
Now, when we go to our congressional delegation, they're all over the freaking place.
Some of them hate the populace.
Some of them are maniacal social Republicans.
You know, if you're not for my religious idea, I don't want you in my party.
The business people usually tend to be the most flexible, but often they're the ones we don't want because they're the ones who are stealing and cheating.
Or hardworking business owners who provide valuable service to people.
Quickly, quickly.
The only way I think you can bring this together into what can save the election this year is Trump.
And I think his idea that he's going to campaign like a madman is absolutely critical.
And somehow he has to do what no American president has ever been able to do.
I shouldn't say ever been able to do, ever been able to do as effectively as you should, which is transfer that vote to somebody else at the ballot box by letting them realize that if you vote for the Democrat candidate, you're voting against me.
Right.
And I'm the one who can harmonize these three into something that's good for you.
Right.
Because he can speak on all three and appeal to people.
Right.
America first.
Now, when you start getting down to individual candidates, you're going to get one that's good on one, one that's good on two, one that's good at two or three.
Very few can hit all three bases without angering the other base.
Right.
That's right.
And I think that's, that's, we can, we can do more on that, but I think that's the key.
That's the key to this election.
And it's not, as it has been in the past.
I mean, we won an election in 2010, big time, midterm election, because we weren't in power by just running against Nancy Pelosi.
That isn't going to work this time.
There isn't one person.
We thought maybe we could run against Zondami.
He's not that important.
Mamdani is not that important.
It'll help.
He'll help.
He'll help.
I mean, there are people in each one of those categories that fear communists.
So that'll help, but it's not going to be a major factor.
Well, and we'll have to see, too, what happens on the Democrat side of things in their primaries, because a lot of the primaries coming up, especially at the state level, are in the Democratic Party.
Let's take a look at the candidates.
It's a Mamdani type candidate versus an establishment type candidate.
And we actually have a primary going on in Michigan right now for a special election where we're going to see, do they choose the woke candidate or do they go more traditional?
Take affordability.
Affordability is going to get you lots of the populist people.
They're going to get you a good deal of the social people.
Not going to get you an awful lot of the business people.
They almost want it to be unaffordable.
They make money.
How many want inflation and how many want deflation?
How many want strong dollar, weak dollar?
Yeah.
Right?
Right.
So he's got, he's, he, he's the only one that can tie it together because he gives people, when he brings them together, he gives people the feeling that, first of all, there are some conflicts here and he'll work them out in the best interest of America.
Right.
I mean, you got to be, you got to be honest and realistic.
There are conflicts.
You don't, Ronald Reagan used to do it by saying, my 80% friend is not my 20% enemy.
Exactly.
It was exactly the way to say you can't have a political party that is monolithic.
I mean, it just, or you're not going to have enough people.
They're going to have to figure out where is the area of compromise that's worth it.
And Trump broadened the coalition.
And that's almost a thing that's missing right now from American political dialogue, which is compromise.
But not for him.
I mean, when you look at the way he conducts foreign policy, when you look at the way he conducts domestic policy, he's constantly compromising.
He's constantly looking for the most that he can get.
For us.
For us, yeah.
For America.
Oh, yeah.
And that's what you need.
And that's what you need.
So I think we'll talk about this more and we'll get a couple of political scientists on.
Yeah.
Political scientists.
I love that word, political scientists, as if politics is a science.
Right.
Well, don't offend Ted's political scientist.
You know what politics is?
It's guesswork.
It's also, they always say, you can incumbent parties never win off your elections except.
Haven't you realized yet that we've gone way past repetitious, the worst, the worst thing to do in modern America it wasn't true when I started in this business worst thing to do in modern America is to run last year's election so that all of those things have gone out.
They've all gone out.
The reason he's having trouble is not because of some thing that goes back 50 years ago that we don't elect.
We don't elect people from the incumbent party.
Uh, it's because the Democrats have done a hell of a good eye, a good job of defaming his immigration, his whole immigration program and uh, where you would think the American people would be kissing his feet for getting us down to no illegal immigration.
They're worried about the sensitivities of arresting rapists and somehow the Democrats have pulled off a genius move.
They've made those guys sympathetic because everybody's thinking they're trying.
They're trying to go after the, the poor little person working in the back of a working in the back of a sweatshop, and we're taking their little children away and we're hurting them.
And these are the people who made America.
I haven't seen one of those in about 20 years.
85 of the Somalis get government get are paid by the government.
They don't work.
They're probably richer than you are.
They steal like hell.
Well, looking at the amount of early childhood education fraud, shoot man, i'm in the wrong business.
This isn't, this is not the German immigrant.
This is not the Italian immigrant, not the Spanish immigrant.
It's not the Jewish immigrant, it's not the Greek immigrant.
This isn't being racist.
It's where we are right now and it's what's been exploited.
This last group that came in under Biden is Sui Generous.
Nothing like it I don't know anywhere in the world.
It's been a massive invasion of an unknown number of people in the millions, in the multiple millions, and we have no idea who the hell they are.
We have because we never.
We never got any information about them when they came in and the ones we did is all wrong.
So is it?
Is it?
Let me get the lowest number.
Is it 15 million?
Is it 18?
Is it 22?
Is it 24?
Could be 30.
Here's the thing that is common to most of them, we don't know who they are.
Now, if you're bringing people in and you don't know who they are and you just open your door and you say okay, send me anybody, you get or worse dangerous, you get all the people that otherwise can't come in and all the people that the terrorist groups want to bring in, all the groups that the organized crime groups want to bring in, all the people that the human traffickers want to bring in, all the children they want to bring in to exploit.
And we go from a country that wasn't and now is the leading uh country for exploitation of children.
That's great.
The city on a hill becomes the place where we exploit children the most, predictably.
So with the open border trying to change that, you become the bad guy.
So that?
So this this, this is about masterful manipulation of the press uh, for which we can't give them too much credit because they own it.
Gotta Rearrange Chronological Order 00:10:21
You see when when, when they manipulate the press it, it takes them about two days of work.
For us to do it, it would take like two years, because the press is on their side.
So we have to find other ways to defeat it.
And there are available other ways to defeat it now that weren't available in 2020, when Steve Bannon and I were trying to get out the fact that the election was fixed and that the and that the um, or even before that, that the hard drive belonged to Hunter Biden, all we, all we could access is about 50 of the media at that.
At best now we could access 70 of it, but we have to do it, and we got to do it in a in in a.
We got to do it in a sensible and honest way and we have to be uh, as organized as we can be, but really energetic and get and get the message out, and I think there's a chance we can do that if, if we understand what the message is.
So you come back tomorrow and we'll have plenty more on it.
Um, this is the main objective of this year, to make sure we hold on to the House and Senate so we can continue to reform America.
The president has done a great job.
He's done as much as you can do in one year, given the realities of where things are.
In fact, he's done twice as much as the realities would allow, maybe three, but if, god forbid, it turns around, it'll be that he'll still do it.
I mean, I was his lawyer for three and a half of the four years he was under persecution.
I used to say to him when they stopped persecuting you, maybe you won't perform it was remarkable what he would get done.
Now I see what he can get done without it.
It's unbelievable.
But you can't believe what it was like to be involved in those impeachments.
I mean, you gotta you get two days just taken away going through some stupid thing that Mueller was raising.
That was completely false but could have destroyed his presidency.
We can't have that again.
Even if we keep the Senate, if the House gets taken over by the criminals that make up most of the Democratic Party well, it'll be a disaster for us.
So we're going to dedicate ourselves to that.
We're also going to dedicate ourselves to Iran becoming free right, and we're going to pray for the people of Israel that we finally get that war over and get rid of Hamas.
And what else do we have to do?
Let's see, there are only a few little things like that, just teeny little things like that.
What else do we have to do?
Oh, we got to get that stupid thing over with in Ukraine so that the master murderer of the 20th and 21st century Putin, gets put in his place.
I don't share with the president this kind of like friendship with Putin.
Didn't share it with Bush either.
I went to see him after Bush had said I saw like a, a god in his eyes or something.
Minute I finished the two hours with him, I went back to my chief of staff and I said I I kind of see Satan looks like one of the murderers I put in jail.
Wow yeah, the guy was killing people at 20 years old.
I mean, that does something to you, right?
Well, you come back tomorrow, seven o'clock on Wendell AND X, eight o'clock on X, and we'll have 20 for you.
All these things and who knows what else.
You you never know in modern America.
We can call it Trump's America, the modern world.
Every day is a big surprise right, you wake up in the morning.
I remember the morning I woke up and we were attacking.
Remember, remember when we woke, when we woke up, 10 and we were.
We were attacking Iran.
That's right, that was great.
That was Venezuela.
That was a great one.
When we woke up on a saturday, right on a saturday morning, I actually thought.
I actually thought I was dreaming.
That was one I heard at two o'clock in the morning.
Right, I had left, I had left a radio on right.
I fell asleep right, and I hear Maduro's been captured.
Right, and I was in that sort of like half sleep, half awake and I said oh, I bet that's a dream.
Then I woke up, Maduro's been captured and he's been taken.
Holy, that's right.
That was uh, quite something, how that that went down and of course we texted or we contacted our contacts.
So I mean, I don't understand why the ayatollah was hiding.
I I have to say this, even though i'm over time here by a lot, and this is extremely blasphemous and it'll get me just another fouwah, uh, I do not understand why the ayatollah is hiding in closets and cells and places like that, because he might get bombed.
I would think, given the in his interpretation of the uh of of the Quran, that he's headed to paradise with either and probably he gets the big number, the 79 virgins right right, or is it possible?
He really doesn't believe that, right?
What do you think?
You think that's like a load of horsesh that he fits, that he feeds the people to get them to kill people for him, or do you think it's a load of horse that Muhammad said to them, right that's?
I know it's terrible.
You can't say bad things about Muhammad I, but I cannot figure out why I can't say bad things about a mass murderer who was a pedophile.
I do not understand that.
I mean, it seems to me it's a violation of my right of free speech that I can't tell the truth about Muhammad when I know it from the time I was about 14 years old and started reading the Quran.
First time I read the Quran was in pre-seminary and I, I I used to say, is this a religion?
Is this a religion?
And and the brother who was my mentor said, no, it's a cult of death.
Nobody wants to recognize it as that.
Right, you gotta.
You gotta re.
You gotta reorganize the whole damn thing in order to find the relatively good things in it.
You gotta rearrange the chronological order.
It's written in.
It's written.
It's not written in chronological order.
It's purposely deceptive.
And then if you put it in chronological order.
So he says all the terrible things at the beginning.
Kill the Jews, kill the Christians, kill the infidels.
If you see them, kill them on site.
Then he makes his little change.
Oh, if you can get money out of them, maybe you can make a compromise if you make them slaves.
And he puts that all at the beginning.
They put that all at the beginning because they put the big chapters first.
Then they have the little chapters, and you get to the end.
At the end, you got all the stuff he wrote at the beginning.
So at the beginning, he was sort of a benign, manipulative guy.
He thought he was going to be able to convert the Christians, the Jews, and the Arabs to his insane religion, that he went up to heaven and met with Abraham.
And I mean, if he met with Abraham, Abraham would say, get the hell out of here, you convulsive idiot.
Now, it could be, he could be he had he had epilepsy because he used to give lectures in Mecca, and then he'd fall down on the ground and have a seizure.
And it's unfortunate if he had epilepsy.
I feel sorry for him, except for the fact that he killed so many people.
But it also could be that he was just a plain nut.
Or it could be they were right.
That's what the Arabs, the Christians, and the Jews all thought.
He was possessed by the devil.
I don't know.
Somebody that invented the idea of the mass grave, as far as we can tell, could be possessed by the devil.
What do you think?
So this is the problem we have in the modern world.
We do not speak honestly about this.
And until we do, we're in jeopardy.
So, good night.
What shall we say, Ted?
What do we say?
End of every show.
God bless America.
We'll see you tomorrow.
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.

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.
