Rudy Giuliani details a massive Israeli strike on Tehran's refineries, marking the death of Space Force Sergeant Benjamin Pennington amidst rising oil prices over $100. He condemns interim Ayatollah Khamenei's son as a monster while Pentagon Secretary Hegseth denies current troop deployments despite fears in the Strait of Hormuz. Giuliani refutes claims of American missile involvement in an Iranian school attack, citing AI analysis pointing to a Kh-55, and criticizes Democrats for defunding FEMA and DHS. Ultimately, he frames the conflict as a necessary one-sided war against a murderous regime, challenging legacy media narratives while addressing complex regional Kurdish separatism. [Automatically generated summary]
This is Rudy Giuliani, and this is the Rudy Giuliani show on Lindel TV.
We are, just so you're not confused, we are not in Tehran.
Who knows what it looks like in Tehran today after the massive bombing on Saturday, Sunday, or both, which I guess was, if not the most casualties, it probably did the most damage, largely because they took out four of their main suppliers of energy, mostly oil and gas.
It's become very controversial as a strategy of war.
Of course, it's brilliant.
As a strategy of world economics, very questionable.
So we have a split at this point.
We don't know how serious it is, doubt is very serious between the president and Israel.
The president felt that we should not be taking out the oil facilities because that would have an impact not just on Iran, but on the whole world.
And whereas There may have been a may have been a miscommunication here.
When Israel, when the IDF described why they did this, they said this was the main installation that was supplying the energy for the military, for the drones, the missiles, the trucks.
By taking all four of these out, they've kind of really hobbled that whole western part of Iran.
It was a massive, massive fire.
Smoke, black smoke all over the place, lasted for a very, very long time.
And I don't know what's left to keep the energy level of Turin anywhere near where it needs to be in order to fight off future attempts.
We are very, very sad to announce that there was a seventh American casualty in this war.
I looked at that young man's face and I said, Look at that fine-looking young man.
His whole life ahead of him.
Or it was the seventh foreign hero.
He's a 26-year-old sergeant, Benjamin Pennington, comes from Glendale, Kentucky, just about 20 miles south of Louisville.
That would be in the western part of Kentucky.
Looks like a very, very fine young man.
Now, he was with the Space Force.
Now, I'm not, I have to say, we're going to have to figure this out before the end of the show.
Is the Space Force part of the Air Force?
Does anyone know the answer to that?
No.
No.
But we'll find out.
But he's with the Space Force.
According to at least the description we saw, he's with the Space Force.
We, of course, will take a moment and say a prayer for the repose of his soul.
We'll also say a prayer for his parents, who are going to have to live through the most difficult thing in their lives.
You know, if you're a parent or even if you can just empathize with a parent, there can't be anything worse than this.
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe it helps that he died as a hero of the United States of America, defending us against an enemy that has taken so many American lives, it's hard to count.
An enemy that should have been eliminated 47 years ago.
Was it?
It doesn't matter because they'd be an enemy for the next 47 years and killing us.
So let's say a prayer for Benjamin and for Benjamin's family so that they can have the strength to deal with this difficult loss.
We'll just take a moment.
Thank you.
I'm sure within the next several days, the president and the vice president and others will be at, I guess, Dover Air Force Base to bring him home.
He's coming home tonight.
Coming home tonight already.
That's very, very fast.
You know, he was actually wounded on March 1st and made a valiant effort and then succumbed last, I guess it was last yesterday.
And at least that's when they announced that he had died.
Well, as we said at the beginning, there was many big developments over the weekend.
In terms of what happened in the battle area, Israel made a massive attack on Tehran, probably in terms of just scope of attack, the biggest attack of the war, largely because they blew up four massive refineries in and around the city of Tehran.
Now, there is a dispute about that.
The Iranians say that this was really an attempt to harm the civilian population of Tehran.
The Israelis say, no, no, these facilities, these facilities were used to supply energy to their military, to all of the various complex pieces of equipment that they're using.
And that without this facility there in Tehran, and the closest one, I don't know how far away, but very, very far away.
It's going to be very, very difficult for them to offer any kind of defense for Tehran.
You know that the real goal of the Israelis is to take out the new Ayatollah as fast as possible, particularly since the president has made it clear that he will do and have nothing to do with him for very good reason.
The man is a monster.
Do I really have to describe it?
He's been a terrorist from the time he was 14 years old.
He's been brought up to commit murder and to use religion as an excuse for it or maybe as a support for it.
Who knows how he interprets the Quran?
You can interpret it all different ways, unfortunately.
Maj Taba Khomeini, or is it Mashtaba?
Mashtaba, I think.
I've heard it pronounced also.
It's, you know, as usually is what happened in these regimes, they make the rules as they go along.
When the first Ayatollah, Khomeini, they're not related, but very difficult to tell them apart.
The first Ayatollah was Khomeini.
The second one is Khomeini.
This is the son of the second one.
One of the big points that they made when they threw out the Shah was that they were not going to have hereditary titles, which kind of gets back to the dispute between the Shia and the Sunni, but that's one that's 1,400 years old.
Well, this is a hereditary appointment.
He is not the most senior.
He's not the most experienced.
In fact, he wasn't even his father's choice.
His father's choice is hanging around looking for a 72 virgin somewhere, but not finding them.
Because he's been sent on to wherever the heck terrorists like this go.
The 88-member assembly of experts selected him.
And since the date and the moment he's been selected, Tehran has been, well, until just very recently, bombarded constantly.
Do we have some video of the attack that took out the four refineries?
I know we had found some.
Of course, what you're looking at is an explosion of massive oil.
And they say gas as well, oil and gas.
I mean, it's a picture that just takes your breath away when you look at it.
Now, what happened with that was that, you see that smoke?
That smoke eventually enveloped about half the city of Tehran.
So even five, six, eight miles away, that smoke was affecting the city.
I don't know the casualties from it, exactly what the number was, but it is a very, very big blow to Iran.
And it's a very big blow to the availability of oil.
Not for us.
We don't get any oil from them.
It's a big blow for China.
Oh, I'm so upset.
China may not be able to get any oil.
I have no idea why we're worried about that, but in any event, Trump has said that he has to have approval rights on whoever they select as the leader of the government, interim or otherwise.
And he has rejected their choice of the son of the Ayatollah.
Now, exactly what that means, I guess what it means is the Israelis will do everything they can to make the position vacant, and then they'll have to select somebody else.
Needless to say, there are very, very few, if any, insurance companies offering an insurance policy for that criminal's life.
The pillars of fire that surrounded Tehran, there is some worry that it would have emitted toxic hydrocarbon compounds and nitrogen oxides and many, many other things.
So I don't think we'll know anything about that until later.
And of course, the price of oil as a result of that and also what's going on in the Straits of Hormuz has now gone over $100 for the first time in five years, six years.
Now, that is not because the Gulf is blocked.
There are some ships going through, but very, very few.
In essence, they're afraid to go through.
None have been attacked.
They haven't sunk ships like they sometimes do to block it.
So this is a psychological issue.
And it's cut the traffic down by about 80%.
Now, remember, that little 18-mile stretch between Oman and Iran, for some strange reason, 60 to 70% of the oil that goes to Asia comes through there.
Amazing.
And a major amount that goes to China.
And with Russia struggling to being able to provide oil, this is going to be a very, very big problem for Xi Jinming.
When he goes to the conference in April with Trump, he may want to ask Trump to loan him some oil.
What do you think Trump should ask for for that, Ted?
Oh, man.
How about how about stop killing the Christians?
Oh, not a bad idea to stop killing the Falong too, or taking their orchids.
Get out of that business.
And they wouldn't make that deal.
And how about no genocide for the Ugers?
You don't think they'd make that deal?
They're too committed to that.
So the question is, how much is the price of oil going to be affected?
The reality is, here in the United States, gone up about 45 cents, average.
The average price of gasoline at the tank right now is $3.45.
Now, that is very different.
It's over $4 in California, and some places, it's still in the high twos.
So it really depends on whether you live in a very, very high tax democratic state or you live in a free state that practices a free economy.
But if you live in an economy where massive amounts of money are taken to make people dependent, then you're going to pay more for gasoline.
That's right, Mayor.
Also, you should note that even with all that, the price of gasoline is 30, 40% lower than during most of Biden's eight years in office when he did absolutely nothing positive.
So I really do think Americans have to be willing to be willing to sacrifice, don't we?
I mean, if we really want a world in which we have peace and we don't have a massive power or a country that wants to become a massive power dedicated to our destruction, having killed maybe in the course of 47 years, 20 or 30,000 of our young men and women, if we really think that's important, then we can pay a few dollars more for gasoline for a little while and not cry about it, huh?
What do you think?
Right.
Pentagon Funding Threat00:17:04
They're saying now oil prices are back under $100 a barrel.
Well, here's what's going to happen.
You don't have to be an economist to figure this out.
There will be some pressure on the price of oil at the tank, right?
gasoline of the tank and oil and other energy for a while because whatever is coming out of Iran is now blocked and whatever and whatever is and whatever was coming out of even other parts of the region is delayed.
Like, for example, Kuwait has so much oil stored, they don't know where to put it.
And this is more than maybe you want to know.
but I once used to represent oil companies.
So if you have to reseal the oil that you, it is a very difficult process to unseal it again without taking some real losses.
So Kuwait is sitting there with enough oil to probably knock the price down by 30 percent, but they can't.
They can't get it through the Gulf Of Hormuz, and they and they don't need to say Europe doesn't need it and America doesn't, America doesn't need it at all.
America could just stop exporting the oil and gas that we now export and we wouldn't have to.
This is, this is a, this is an issue for, for um, what we used to.
Are we allowed to call it the Orient anymore Oriental?
I don't think you're supposed to use that.
I know, I know, I know you're not supposed to say Orientals anymore, like the Orient.
Yes, of course you can still say there's a lot of place in the world.
Trump's president now.
So and and, someday.
And why don't we look up?
Because it is interesting.
It's interesting.
You know why certain words become bad.
It's also a great other words aren't bad.
It's a beautiful word.
I'm actually surprised anybody would be against that.
It's the white liberals, i'm sure.
That canceled it.
I don't think it's, or it's Oriental.
That's calling a person Oriental yeah, which I I, which is a person of the Oriental way of saying Asian right, it is well, they can't change Orient, because that's the place.
Murder On The Orient Express is too good a book and they're not going to change the name of that.
They're not going to make it like, uh right, Murder On The Canarsi Express yeah no, who's going to read that?
Or Murder On The Beat Rain, right.
So we uh, you haven't seen that movie.
It's a great movie, the Orient Express, Murder On The Orientation, one of the greatest, one of the greatest detective writers ever.
English detective writer.
Not to be confused with the Polar Express.
A book of lesser literary, but it sounds like it's a book that I shouldn't read.
It's a children's book.
It's a great book, but it's just definitely not in this conversation.
Well, maybe Heather Mullins at the Pentagon wants to chime in on this discussion.
We got Heather Mullins.
Maybe on a more serious note, of course.
Why don't we go to Heather before we try to exercise our capitalist instincts and make money?
Yeah.
God bless capitalism.
Yeah, right?
Oh, my goodness.
That's funny.
So, Heather, nothing going on at the Pentagon, right?
Yeah, no, not at all.
I mean, it's going to slow easily at the Pentagon.
I wish I could say that was the case, but unfortunately, there's a lot going on at the Pentagon right now.
You know, the situation in Iran is still unfolding, and people have had a lot of questions because, you know, there is a lot of uncertainty around this.
You know, how long is it going to last?
Are there going to be boots on the ground?
There's just been a lot of questions.
I know the secretary had his first two briefings last week.
I was a part of both of those.
You know, I had the opportunity to ask him a question in one of those pertaining just to the intelligence, specifically, you know, what changed between Operation Midnight Hammer that led to Operation Epic Fury.
And, you know, there's been a lot of talk about that.
And specifically, it's been the fact Secretary Hegseth said the fact that Iran wasn't willing to negotiate with them, with Steve Witkoff, and move away from the nuclear program.
They ended up getting involved.
And now here we are today.
There was an interview that Secretary Hegseth just did with 60 Minutes, and I want to play it for you, where he responds to the question people keep asking, are there going to be boots on the ground?
And I'll unpack his answer for you after we take a look at this clip.
Please, yeah, because it's impossible to achieve the objectives President Trump has set before you if we don't locate and obtain and extract the highly enriched uranium.
There's a lot of different ways we can get after that.
They've used a conventional umbrella of missiles that was growing every single day, their production capacity, to try to cover over their nuclear blackmail ambitions.
As far as how you get at that nuclear option, we'll make sure that their nuclear ambitions are never achieved.
Will we take it out ourselves?
Well, I would never tell you or anybody else what our options are.
See, that's another thing.
People keep asking.
It's a very fair question.
People ask boots on the ground, no boots on the ground, four weeks, two weeks, six weeks.
Go in, go in.
President Trump knows, I know, you don't tell the enemy, you don't tell the press, you don't tell anybody what your limits would be on an operation.
We're willing to go as far as we need to in order to be successful.
Do we have any overt or covert forces inside Iran now?
I wouldn't tell you that if we did.
Only reason I asked is earlier this week, you said no.
Is that still the answer?
Yeah, that's still the answer.
But we reserve the right.
And we would be completely unwise if we did not reserve the right to take any particular option, whether it included boots on the ground or no boots on the ground.
So I just want to point out that I actually understand where he's coming from, right?
Like from a military perspective, even though I'm a journalist and I have a military, a bunch of questions that I'd like asked, as the military, you can't play all the parts.
You can't tell the enemy where you're going to be putting people, how many people you're going to be putting there, how much ammunition you have.
Like those are things that you want to keep secret because you don't want the enemy finding out about them.
So I know the media, the legacy media especially, tends to run wild with this.
They tend to fear monger, like, oh, President Trump's going to be, you know, putting boots on the ground because he didn't give a definitive answer.
That means he is.
They did the same thing when Press Secretary Caroline Levitt was asked a question about the draft and whether or not we would draft people.
And it's like, again, they don't give any yes or no answer to these type of questions.
And I think the legacy media plays in on that a lot because they know they're not going to answer yes or no.
Because by answering one way or another, you either one, tell the enemy what you're going to do or you tell them what options you're taking off the table.
It's a very, very good observation.
I think that's a, you know, and also we got used to fighting these wars for television.
Exactly.
From the time we started embedding reporters, I mean, we always had reporters that were war correspondents.
We did in the Second World War.
They were almost like soldiers for us.
All of a sudden, we ended up with these people embedded who forgot they were, many of them forgot they were Americans.
You know, and also gave out all kinds of information.
And by being there, could make a lot of observations that maybe you don't want the enemy to find out the night before.
So, I mean, Pete is handling this like a real war.
Like, hey, this is a war, guys, not an episode of the Iranian Chronicle R3.
Exactly, exactly.
And I actually, I share in the frustration of some people where I'm like, I want the answers.
My journalist mind wants to know the answers.
But I also know in a time of war, you're not always going to get the answers that you want when you want them.
And a lot of it is just going to have to be us, you know.
I mean, this is what makes the press and our job so important is that we are trying to sort of dig and paint this picture for the American people.
But we have a legacy media that is doing the opposite, right?
Like their objective is not to accurately report a war.
Their objective is to exploit a war.
And that's the difference that I want people to remember: to take everything on the legacy media, how they report this war, like a grain of salt, because they didn't accurately report the election.
They're not going to accurately report a war.
They're going to use it for their advantage.
They're, you know, historically networks full of manipulation, deception, and just straight up dishonesty.
And so I just encourage people to continue watching networks like Lindell TV because it's so important to get your information directly from sources, which is why I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to be in that briefing room and ask real questions, even if we don't always get the answers, but just to be able to hear straight from the Secretary's mouth, you know, what's going on, because there's so much fake information out there right now.
And I want to play another important clip.
This one's from President Trump, specifically on the potential threat of sleeper cells in the United States.
I know a lot of people have asked me about that.
We saw four years where Joe Biden and the Democrats allow untold numbers of military-aged men from God knows where to come into our country.
President Trump addressed that.
So let's go ahead and take a listen to what he had to say.
Has Iran activated any sleeper cells inside the U.S.?
There's reports that they have pressed that trigger button to activate those cells, at least abroad.
Well, they've been trying for a long time.
We've been very much on top of it.
One of the things we have to do is get the Democrats to stop the Democrat shutdown, because as you know, the apparatus that looks into that, Schumer and the Democrats have shut it down, which tells you they probably hate our country a lot, but the Democrats have to open that up.
But we've got very, very good intelligence into that.
We know a lot of different things that have happened that have been very bad.
A lot of them came in during the Biden open border period, but we have them under, we've got them, we're watching every single one of them.
Yeah, we know a lot about them.
The biggest problem we have is the Democrat shutdown.
We know a lot about them, but the shutdown doesn't allow us to do what we have to do.
Do you have to take him out?
Does he have a target on his back?
You mean the new Supreme Leader?
You mean the sun?
How can there be an Iranian city?
Well, I don't want to say that, but I was disappointed because we think it's going to lead to just more of the same problem for the country.
So I was disappointed to see their choice.
So I want to Stress one more thing to the viewers here right now.
And that is, you know, what Trump was just saying is, you know, with regards to sleeper cells here in the United States, they're keeping an eye on it, but Democrats are trying not to fund the very government agencies that are tasked with our own protection.
And I actually last week when I was in DC for the Pentagon briefing, I also went over to FEMA.
And when I was over at FEMA, I was talking with some of them about the lack of funding because of these Democrats.
And you know what really dawned on me, Mayor Giuliani?
That is the fact that, like, everybody in America, whether you're Republican or Democrat, right, benefits from the security and safety that some of these agencies provide, whether it's Homeland Security or FEMA.
And it's almost like an act of terror against the American people to take any sort of position and not fund those organizations.
So interestingly, as we're sitting here having a conversation about sleeper cells and the threat they face, well, my question is: what about the threat to Americans, these Democrats, holding out the funding of our very own safety and national security organizations, TSA, for example?
We're seeing issues with TSA, we're seeing issues with FEMA as we approach flood season, tornado season.
We're seeing issues with them funding DHS and rounding up dangerous people in our own communities.
How is that not an attack on the American people when you're directly trying to stand in the way of the funding of agencies that protect us?
It's a much bigger discussion, Heather.
It's really an it obviously can be taken with a grain of salt because I am a Republican and there's something really wrong with the Democrat Party.
It's not, this is not, this is not like all of the other years that I've been in politics, which is about 40, when you could count on the other party when it came to something like this.
Like, well, let's think of September 11th.
When September 11 happened, for a while, for a while, we were all Americans.
And I truly believe, and this, of course, is a much bigger discussion.
When they realized that they were going to re-elect George Bush, that's when they turned.
And they couldn't have, they couldn't, that's where this concept began.
You can't give him victories.
And they did it to Bush on a certain level.
And of course, they did it to Trump on another level.
And somehow, in all of that, the fact that a country is involved is lost.
They're playing a game rather than dealing with the real life and death situation and running a country.
It's a tragedy.
Well, see, what I don't understand.
It's an evil political party.
And I just like, I have to feel like someone's like controlling their puppet strengths.
Cause I'm like, how do you not realize you're driving your own community and country into the ground by doing what you're doing?
Because when you look at an incident like 9-11, right?
Like, I'm sure everybody that passed away, it didn't matter if you were a Democrat or Republican in that world.
Everybody suffered the same from an act of terror like that.
So when I look at these Democrats holding out, you realize if there's a terror attack or if there's a tornado and a flood and our government can't get resources or we can't, you know, stop a terror attack before it happens, that impacts every Democrat and every Republican.
So I just can't for the life of me understand why they are sitting on something that benefits them too.
Like it's like you have to either be brain dead or corrupted or someone's controlling your puppet strengths because it's literally like voting to not pay your own bills or, you know, have your own home security system.
Like they live here too.
Well, Heather, you're doing great reporting because you're actually scratching way below the surface and getting to the thing that is wrong with us.
God bless you.
Thank you very, very much.
Good report.
Really good report.
And I must say, it really is.
She's really, you know, it's very, very hard to cover any of these substantial stories any longer and not get to this issue.
Whether we talk about their failure to fund the government or we talk about their unwillingness to cooperate with ICE and arresting people who are rapists and murderers or what we'll give you an example later of what happened in New York and the first instinct of an elected Democrat politician,
part of the Zandami Mamdani, Adami Ubats, whatever it is, whatever you call it.
First thing they did is they blamed the bomb or the attempted bombing on a white Christian nationalist terrorist.
I actually made a request of the Democratic National Committee to please introduce me to such a person.
I'd like to find it.
Who is this white Christian nationalist terrorist?
I've never heard of a Christian terrorist group.
Sorry.
But in any event, it's hard to describe, and you're going to scratch your head until you get balls like me in trying to figure it out.

Welcome back.
This is Rudy Giuliani.
This is the Rudy Giuliani show on Lindel TV.
So, in addition to everything else that has happened, one of the hits that you could say is just completely unnecessary and gratuitous.
Every day, every day, it seems to me, the regime hits Bahrain.
Now, I want you to consider this.
Bahrain actually has no army.
If it has an Air Force, it has four planes.
And it is a completely benign country.
Completely benign, they despise Iran because Iran has bullied them for centuries.
So I know this because I was employed a while back by the king of Bahrain to try to stop the monthly invasions by Iran into Bahrain to kill police officers.
They would come in once a month and they would with a terrorist group and they'd find some police officers, sometimes in a police station, sometimes out doing their work, and they would kill the police officers.
That's in addition to other terrorist acts they did in Bahrain.
Now, Bahrain has no strategic significance to them at all.
At all.
I was going to say oil.
When this all started, Bahrain actually, none of those countries are poor, but Bahrain was really being supported by Saudi Arabia.
Bahrain has since, along with Israel and a couple, found some oil in the sea that stares.
So Bahrain is becoming more independent.
But in any event, it is not a military threat of any kind to Iran.
This is being done out of cruelty.
So yesterday they knocked out their desalinization plant.
I didn't see Poro.
They have three.
But knocking out one will mean there's going to be a scarcity of water.
If you think about it, those countries, particularly the bigger ones like Dubai, Doha, those cities don't exist without a desalinization plant.
That's why they've become such great giant Las Vegas in the desert.
You take out the desalinization plant and you don't have water.
So that's just being done for no strategic purpose at all.
That missile that they use to do that could have been used against Americans who were against American munitions, against American missiles, against American personnel, against Israelis.
And if you think of the amount of ordnance that they are wasting on, they've attacked 17 countries.
They've attacked 17 countries.
And they're not insane.
The way they're conducting this war is perfect justification and evidence for why President Reagan originally was correct and President Trump is correct in saying this country cannot have nuclear weapons because they are insane.
They do not follow rational principles of even self-defense.
So there are polls being taken.
Now, I don't know.
Polling a war.
I don't know if you can poll a war, but they did.
Of course, NBC polled the war.
Now, before I tell you that NBC polled the war, do you think you know the result of the poll?
Yeah.
What would you say, Ted?
Have you seen the poll?
Oh, geez.
Have you seen the poll?
I have not seen the poll.
I'm going to ask you.
I'm going to ask you the questions on the poll, and I want you to see if you can give me the right number.
Okay, and this is from NBC, though, right?
NBC.
Yeah, NBC.
Okay.
Let's go.
They did a two-part poll.
I don't know why they mixed them up: ICE and the war.
Oh, well, easy.
Yeah, we know why.
Because if you do ICE first and they know people are already pissed off at ICE, yeah.
You move, this is all very, very subtle, and it's all brainwashing.
And you move people against, right?
Yeah.
So that's now when you get to the question where you really want to zing them, you got to, you have brought up a lot of things that you've become negative to the administration.
So the first thing they're asking, the first thing they're asking, do they, do they agree, do they support or oppose ICE immigration tactics?
Tactics.
Just broad, just tactics.
Tactics.
So they're asking this, of course, after two shootings.
So over what percentage oppose?
I bet you're something like seven out of 10, around 70%, give or take.
No, 54-44.
Oh, wow.
That's not too bad.
That's not bad at all.
54-44.
I'm thinking NBC, right?
54% of registered voters oppose ICE tactics, whatever they are.
44% approve.
What does that mean?
You're right.
Now, on foreign policy, the approval rating is, and the disapproval rating is.
This is NBC.
NBC.
Disapprove's got to be on foreign policy and then on Iran.
So let me just tell you, it comes out almost exactly the same.
60-something percent.
43% approve, 54% disapprove.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
So not as bad as I thought they'd really.
So that tells you that Trump's probably, yeah, anyway.
You add 10 points to Trump on the NBC poll.
Which will really give you an idea of what the election is about.
People are unhappy with the cost of living, 36 to 62.
Right.
And that is a problem.
That's a problem.
It's been a problem, though.
That's not a Trump problem.
It's a problem in two ways.
It's a problem because some of it's real and some of it's not.
Right.
So you got to deal with the real and you've got to deal with the not real.
But that's for a different show.
Right.
However, there are a couple of areas where he came out okay.
His overall handling of immigration is majority positive, 53, 44.
And his general handling of enforcement is positive.
So it's not good, but it's not terrible.
And I hope they don't make decisions based on it.
And I hope they don't make decisions based on the hit on the oil market.
We're going to have to take a hit.
It's all going to be positive.
The main thing is to get rid of this regime.
The minute this regime is gone, the oil market is going to straighten out.
It's going to be better than it's been maybe ever.
Maybe, maybe ever.
The president has raised the issue, Ted, and I want you to address yourself to this because you looked into it, that the attack on the school that happened, I think it was on the first day, the attack on the school was not an American tomahawk missile.
And that it will, from the best that we can reconstruct it, it was a misfire by them.
It's not a deliberate.
I mean, the president is being generous by saying a misfire.
I can see them blowing up a bunch of kids to make it look like we did it.
I mean, the Ayatollah, who we destroyed, and the one coming after him, has killed more of his own people than any human being on Earth other than Seijah Mint.
Right.
So the video you're watching, Mayor, that is video of the alleged hit.
And so those saying this was from an American, this was from America claim that that's a cruise, a Tomahawk cruise missile.
But an AI analysis, and now you're seeing the frames as frozen, confirms that the wings of the munition in question sit at about a 40 to 45 percent.
If you look at that up close there, the wings sit about 40 to 45 percent down the body of the munition.
On a tomahawk, the wings actually sit 50 percent halfway down.
So AI analysis of these freeze frames can show that it's in fact not a tomahawk missile.
Therefore, it was not an American munition.
And this leads to a number of people concluding that it was in fact from we should be able ultimately to definitively prove it.
We should be able to reconstruct every missile that we fired, every place that it went.
And also, we should be able to tell from the level of destruction, a tomahawk missile, just looking at that, If I'm correct, the Tomahawk missile would have taken out much two or three blocks.
It's a gigantic missile.
Remember, it's 30 times more powerful than the drones that are being used in this war.
So, not necessarily a misfire.
Experts are saying that could be an Iranian Kh-55 missile.
And if the U.S. and Israeli forces were jamming the GPS signals coming from these missiles, in a way, right, that missile came down thanks to American and Israeli GPS jamming.
So, if they, in a way, they can still blame.
I'll tell you what else you'd want to find out.
The school, I mean, before you even get into this, the school is attached to a military compound.
That was my initial Islamic Revolutionary Guard.
And we've also been told that it was switched over recently.
Potentially switched over.
I'll try to get the timeline.
Potentially switched over recently to a school.
Okay.
So what we have to find out is how many Revolutionary Guard were killed there.
Suppose none were.
Right.
Suppose none were.
Suppose it was evacuated.
I think it is definitely worth looking at because these people are monsters and the lives of their own people don't mean anything to them.
Look at, I mean, when we look at the MEK book that we had out the other night, right?
So they're in that book, in a three-month period, they killed 20,000 people whose pictures we have, right?
We now know that in a five-day period recently, they killed 30,000 people.
I don't even know how you do 30,000 killings in five days.
The other was over about a four-month period.
The total number that the MEK and this is a good, strong, hard number with names behind it, that they have lost in 47 years is 120,000 people.
These are all, this is all Iranians killing Iranians.
This isn't Americans killing Germans or Americans killing Japanese or Japanese killing Americans like the Second World War.
The only other country that has anything like this is China.
The only other country that has a history of killing massive numbers of its own people are the Red Chinese, and they probably have done more.
But the two Ayatollahs, if you consider that the MEK is 120,000, it wouldn't be hard to believe they've killed 200,000 of their own people.
So why wouldn't they just take out a school?
I mean, it would be part of jihad, right?
It would be perfectly acceptable to fulfill the overall objective.
You know, it's very, very strange.
There are a lot of articles, analysis pieces talking about how communism and Islamic extremism have sort of come together.
And it's very strange because communism is strongly atheistic.
And of course, Islamic extremism theoretically is extraordinarily religious.
But ultimately, both of them are phonies because both of them have the same principle that human life isn't important, that the objective of making the whole world a caliphate is more important than human life.
And the objective of making the whole world communist is more important than human life.
And what they both share in common is a complete disrespect for human life.
The Complex Kurdish Situation00:04:32
Bingo Mayor, and that's where, I mean, and you've been a pragmatic, I guess is the word, a realist on this issue.
President Trump's been a realist.
You at least have an understanding that these people, they are a murderous regime that think fundamentally different and have a different value on human life than we do here in America.
And there's too many people here in this country that still don't understand that.
And that's why you got these babies who are questioning things and saying, you know, you hear it from the Tucker Carlsons of the world.
So it just shows how you've seen this for years.
You've had the right perspective on this.
And obviously President Trump has too.
I mean, look, they're panning this war with Iran, right?
I mean, we've lost seven people.
Meanwhile, we've taken out their Navy, their army, their communications.
I mean, we killed the Ayatollah.
It's clearly a one-sided fight, yet we still have all these critics here at home.
Well, we'll conclude, and then we'll pick up with this also when we go to X in a minute.
We'll conclude with this issue about the Kurds.
And we've covered it, you know, starting last week.
We covered it quite a bit when there was the first entry of a group of Kurds.
And then the baby Shah said that he wasn't going to cooperate with the Kurds.
And he actually said He ordered the military to take action against them.
Now, is it possible that the baby shar isn't really too bright, among other things?
So, how does he control the military?
The military, right now, unless things have changed, hasn't changed yet.
There's the Ayatollah, right?
He's the supreme leader.
He has these special units called the IRGC, QAM, how do you pronounce that last one?
Basij?
Basij?
Bazij, right?
B-S-I-G.
It's sort of a poor man's IRGC.
It's the IRGC.
If you can't quite make it in the IRGC or QAM, which is you work for them.
And so I don't know how he thinks he can order the military to kill the Kurds because he says they're separatists.
Now, to believe that the four main Kurdish parties in Iran signed a document in which they agreed that they would remain part of Iran, that they did want what has been promised to them.
And what at various times, they may even have it now, I don't know.
At various times, they've had it, not had it, a certain amount of autonomy for their own practices, but they would be part of the Iranian nation.
So they have completely taken off the table the separatist issue.
But of course, he's ignored that.
But the president is worried, I think, that if they come in and the other groups like the Azeris and the Balushis, particularly the Aziris, the Azeris connected to Azerbaijan.
The Kurds are connected to the Kurds in Turkey, the Kurds in Iraq.
And therefore, Erdogan would probably like the idea of the Aziris moving out because he'd take them.
But the last thing in the world that he wants is a free and independent Kurdistan taking out the Turkish Kurds.
So there's a lot of complications here that maybe we don't need right now.
Complications Worth Carrying00:00:19
And best thing is to put them on the shelf and see if we're going to need them.
If we're going to need them, it's worth it.
If not.
So we're going to now go over to X, and we'll be able to carry this all on and get you to a very, very satisfying conclusion, I hope.
