America's Mayor Live (881): President Trump Says Iran War is Nearing Its End Far Ahead of Schedule
President Trump declares the Iran war nearing its end following a massive attack on Tehran's energy grid, creating a seven-hour black fog. While the U.S. claims civilian safety, Israel targets war machines; meanwhile, Ali Khamenei suffers critical injuries in an airstrike near nuclear facilities. The episode also addresses a NYC terror plot by ISIS-influenced attackers, correcting mislabeling of their motives, and features Ara Abramian discussing Armenia-Azerbaijan relations and Iran's internal demographics. Ultimately, the host advocates for global political prisoner releases and questions the new Supreme Leader's stability amidst regional chaos. [Automatically generated summary]
This is America's Mayor Live, and we're live from Palm Beach, Florida, with Tehran sitting behind us.
Possibly not in that condition right now.
I don't know what's been done to it, but the attack over the weekend, which has created a lot of debate about taking out the oil and gas and energy facilities, has significantly changed the skyline.
And of course, Tehran has probably gotten about 40% of the incoming from both the United States and Israel, largely because, and that might change a bit now,
largely because the original part of this mission was a decapitation mission, which is to take out as much of the leadership of the government, the IRGC, and the other various groups they have that run the country.
And also a disproportionate number of the IRGC personnel are also located there and their equipment.
The controversial attack on the four energy facilities in and around Tehran on Saturday is a very debatable proposition one way or the other.
America says it's not going to hit any of the oil facilities, any of the gas facilities, because that would have several reasons.
One, too much of an impact on the civilian population.
They want to do the best they can not to affect, kill, or harm civilians.
Number two, of course, it'd have an impact on the price of oil for everyone all over the world.
And really, this is a rather altruistic thing because not so much for us, not so much for us because we do not get any of our oil nowadays from that area of the world.
And if we do, it's only incidental.
And then the third reason is to try to leave the country as functional as it can be so that you can put it in the hands of good people and have it thrive, which is what the objective is.
Now, the Israelis look at it completely from a military point of view.
Those four major facilities, and when you see the explosion, you can see this is a massive, massive, these are massive, massive energy facilities.
They filled half of Tehran with a kind of a water-like fog and mist, black fog and mist for about seven or eight hours.
And it covered about half the city and Tehran's a big city.
And what the Israelis say is these facilities are used to fuel all of the weapons and all of the all of the facilities that are being used to conduct war.
And the strange thing is, Iran is hardly not fighting Israel or America.
Iran is fighting 15 other countries, 16 other countries.
Shortly, we'll have on a very, very distinguished citizen of Azerbaijan.
And we're going to ask him, what the heck are they attacking Azerbaijan for?
But I mean, actually, why are they attacking Saudi Arabia?
On the earlier show, we were pointing out Bahrain.
They don't like the people of Bahrain.
Iran doesn't.
I don't know how many centuries that goes back.
If you look on the map, Bahrain is like, looks like you could take a rowboat from Bahrain to Iran, right?
So they believe it belongs to them.
But it got settled by the Saudis, by the Arabs.
So I think this goes back before the Muslim religion.
This goes back when there was this hostility between the Arabs and the Persians.
So the Persians grabbed Bahrain.
Now, after Muhammad and after Muhammad died, and the second caliph and the third caliph captured Persia and made it Muslim, they're all Muslims.
But deep down, they're not all Muslims.
Deep down, they're Arabs and Persians.
And this was the strangest thing to me because I went there in 2017, I don't remember, 2015, 16, 17, something like that.
And my security company did an analysis for them to try to reduce these attacks that went on every month by the Iranian terrorists.
They come into Bahrain and they kill police officers, every once in a while, citizens.
And we came up with a pretty good program to spot them and stop them.
And then they started doing other things.
But they just hate the country.
On the other hand, it is wasting, I mean, every missile that they use for Bahrain or Azerbaijan or Saudi Arabia or could have been used on the US or on Israel.
It's not.
And it's not as if they have unlimited amounts of missiles.
They're down to 80% less missiles being used than on the first couple of days.
So we'll have to see what the whole purpose here was.
Well, New York City, of course, got in the middle of it this weekend.
And I don't know that we know the full dimensions of this attack yet, but it probably does offer a pretty good insight into what we're dealing with and what Biden did to us with the open borders and letting everyone in.
And we don't know who came in.
The reality is that these two people were plotting this attack for some time.
They are connected and it hasn't yet been completely investigated, but they were working influenced by ISIS, directed by ISIS.
I don't know that we know the answer to that yet.
They were definitely operating under the self-induced or externally induced pressure of ISIS.
They were very, very anxious to make that known because after they were arrested, unlike 99% of the people who were arrested who keep their mouths shut, all they wanted to do was talk about ISIS.
They have tape recordings, Ted, of them just volunteering, of their just volunteering their dedication to ISIS and their hope that this would have been a better terrorist attack than the Boston marathon bombing, which they considered inadequate because it only killed two people.
So this is the manifestation of something we have been worried about for a very, very long time.
So I've been worried about it.
And therefore, if you listen to me, you've been worried about it from the day Jerko opened the border.
Jerko is the auto-penn idiot who was president of the United States because of cheating.
And from the moment he opened the border, this was a predictable outcome.
Terrorist countries would put in our country people who would attempt to destroy us, kill us, harm us.
Not just terrorist countries, but drug dealers would do it, human traffickers would do it.
And of course, they've created havoc for us.
So here is an example of two people who have been planning this attack.
We don't know yet for how long.
They came into New York that morning from Pennsylvania.
They're located in Pennsylvania.
Well, we think they are, right?
We think they're located in Pennsylvania.
And they developed a bomb.
They developed a bomb that is a one would have to say a.
It's not a sufficient.
I feel a little constrained about saying this.
This is a very, very powerful bomb but tragically, it's a very easy one to make.
Usually, you know, the more powerful a weapon is, the harder it is to put this together.
This is not that hard to put together and um, this could have been done.
This, this could have been done by by um Isis training them to do it.
This could have been done online.
I mean, ISIS could have just sent them a couple of instructions and they could have put this.
They could have put this together.
Uh, now there are I I have a lot of questions about why these people, or at least one of them, wasn't uh tracked.
And I used to run the uh joint terrorism task force that the commissioner and um and uh the f head of the FBI and the U.s attorney talked about today.
The joint terrorism task force and they and and you can be sure they ran this investigation that the joint terrorism task force goes back to before.
It goes back to the original Islamic Attacks On The United States when they used to hijack airplanes and do things like That.
And it's really the best example of how to do this.
It was enormously valuable to me as a prosecutor.
I was in charge of it.
As the mayor, I was a contributor to it.
The New York City Police Department is part of it.
And I think you saw, if you saw the press conference today, if we have any of it, it would be good to show a little of it with the police commissioner and with the United States Attorney and with the head of the FBI and with the head of the police.
This is a great example.
And I'd like Americans, law enforcement America, to take a good look at this.
And some of you have this in your jurisdictions, but this is what you need.
This is as good as it gets.
It's not going to get any better than this.
And there are things here they could have done better.
But you know, it's like, oh, you made two mistakes, but in the long run, because you're great, you got it at the very end, you know.
They got it at the very end here.
And once again, we find out that our New York City police officers don't worry about running into something that could kill them.
Because these police officers, when this bomb was thrown, started running toward it before they had any idea whether it was going to go off or not.
And since it was a mother of Satan bomb, a TATP bomb, had that thing gone off, it would have blown out probably bare minimum half a block.
This is a, I should tell you, it's rather strange looking at that picture.
That used to be my home.
Behind it was my house for eight years.
And that's the main entrance to it.
That's Gracie Manchin.
And that's the police commissioner who is there with right behind her is the woman who handles all of this analysis for her.
She's actually quite good.
The uniformed officer is the highest uniformed officer in the NYPD.
You don't see the U.S. attorney who's quite good, and I say that having been U.S. attorney, and also the head of the FBI.
Critically Injured New York Mayor00:06:25
We do see a representative of Islamic terrorist admirers there, Zohan Mandami Dandami Babambi, whatever his name is, who I wonder what side he's on on this one.
He hasn't announced it.
But just to show you how insane New York City is, when this happened, when they showed up at, well, let's set the stage for you so you understand it.
This was a group of rallies.
It was a rally and an answer to a route.
And the main one that they were focused on, and I'm talking about Ibrahim Kayuni, who's 19, and Imar Balat, who's 18,
They were focused on the rally being held basically against Hamas and against Hezbollah and against Iran and against all of them,
by an overall group who's led by a gentleman that I don't, I guess I should know more about him, because they say he is a right-wing activist.
Jake Ling.
I know Jake very well.
Jake Ling.
I talked to him today.
Yeah.
We know Jake.
Oh, we do.
Do I know him?
You know all of you.
You don't know him personally, no, but he was their target.
Yes, Jake Lang.
They were after him.
They were not, people thought he, I mean.
Well, that's how the media spun it, right?
The media wanted you to believe this was an attack against Mamdani.
The New York, the media portrayed it as.
Oh, it's worse than that.
The Manhattan Borough president, who is the leading elected Democrat in Manhattan, which is a communist political organization, a Democratic political organization called the Borough of Manhattan, but it's run like it were a communist installation.
Brad Holl I hope I pronounced his name right.
Brad Hoylman Siegel, he immediately announced, without any information, which is typical of New York Democrats, without any information, he immediately announced that, quote, white Christian nationalists led a roaming trail of Islamophobia and anti-Semitism today on Manhattan's Upper East Side at Grazy Mansion,
where they targeted our mayor with an incendiary device.
Now, unless Imar Balat and Ibrahim Khatimi, who were there at the instance of ISIS, somehow wants to Bite the hand that feeds them, which would be the Mondani family, including the old man who's a big supporter of these terrorist groups.
They were not there to hurt the mayor.
They were there to hurt the white Christian nationalist.
Well, by the way, what?
Was holding a demonstration, basically saying it would be nice if the people of New York supported the war being conducted by the United States of America instead of, as the mayor is doing, supporting our enemies.
So this had nothing to do with an attack on.
Yep.
Ali Khomeini, the new supreme leader, has been injured in an attack, critically injured, in an airstrike this afternoon.
I wonder how that happened.
So Dr. Maria has breaking news, and that is that the new Ayatollah, who may actually set a record for holding the office for the shortest period of time ever, has now been, he actually was injured originally and thought to be dead during the original attack.
He's been attacked again, and he's seriously injured.
And is that it?
We don't know.
Just critically injured.
So the 88.
See if he can find it.
A lot of people are saying he was dead, but it's not confirmed by all sources yet.
Official confirmation.
Who did it?
Did we do it or Israel?
Did we do it or did Israel do it?
It says a combined strike.
Yeah.
Israel has been doing most of the strikes.
Israel has been doing the strikes on the upper echelon of the.
Yeah, that's true.
We've been doing more of the hardware and they've been doing more of the decapitation.
Yeah, so.
Also, also, although there's very little attention being paid to it, we really are backing up effectively the removal of the nuclear.
We've gone back to several of the places where it was thought we didn't get in deep enough.
And we hit them with massive, we hit them with a bomb that created an earthquake-like atmosphere for about 140 miles.
It must have been, we're going to have to find out what place.
I had a long conversation with one of our people there, and they were trying to find it out because they were getting a lot of reports today that the ground was shaking near the what's the desert part part Parshin, Parzin desert, the desert that's uh, right um to the east of Tehran, where they have the, where they,
Bunker Buster Cleanup00:04:58
where they have all of the facilities to expand the um uh, the missile distance, Great Salt Parching parchment, Parchin desert desert, the dust that you cover so, so there was a tremendous.
It was, it was like an earth earthquake-like effect there, but not an attack there.
So there was an attack somewhere where we use one of those gigantic bunker buster that goes way into the ground.
So that may be a cleanup from the original attack.
Um, we'll have, we'll have, we'll, we'll have to see.
But this situation in New York is so today.
Do we have any uh video from the police commissioner or the United States attorney?
Uh, or um yeah, we were just playing it.
Could we play a little of it?
I mean, they did a very, they did a very, very good a, very good, a very good job.
But I think this Hoyleman Segal should resign and people uh should point out that he's a, he's a prejudiced pig, without any evidence to blame it on White Christian nationalists.
I don't.
I don't even know who White Christian nationalists are.
Who what what, what?
There's no white inspired terrorism.
I can also provide some additional information, building on my remarks from saturday evening.
At that time we were beginning to conduct preliminary analysis of two devices that were ignited and deployed earlier that day, one in a crosswalk on East End Avenue and east 87th street and the other on the west side of East End Avenue between east 86th and east 87th streets.
That testing was performed by the Nypd's bomb squad and FBA, FBI special agent bomb technicians, in consultation with an FBI chemist.
Preliminary test results determined that these were not hoax devices nor smoke bombs.
They were improvised explosive devices that could have caused serious injury or death.
This is being in well.
I just.
I just got a little uh uh uh help from dr dr Maria, who showed you're going to have to go watch at nine o'clock.
Make sure you get.
Start getting ready to do whatever you have to do.
There was an earthquake magnitude 5.1 that hit northern Iran.
The event occurred almost ongoing Israeli airstrikes And speculate a possible effect of the attack on Iran's nuclear program.
Semnon province, near the Empicenter, houses key nuclear and missile infrastructure.
Iran denies pursuing nuclear weapons.
The incident has heightened tensions in West Asia.
Investigations are underway to determine the cause of the tremor.
Don't waste too much time on the investigations, okay?
Or money.
It would be a waste of money.
I think we kind of know what it was.
And I'm not sure it was the Israelis because unless we're letting them use the bunker busters, I doubt it.
I'm not sure they know how to fly those points.
Maybe they do.
Maybe they don't.
So when we come back, we're going to have a very interesting guest.
And then you stay with us because we also want to go through and bring you aware of all the evidence that's come out that the, what do we call the crooked press in America?
What do we call the crooked press in America?
Why do we call them things like the legacy press?
We find names for the crooked press in America.
I don't like that.
The legacy press, the fake news.
The drive-by, the lot.
The drive-by media.
That was Rush.
Rush used to call it the drive-by media.
Yeah, that was great.
The legacy media, the lying.
You're not going to hear about this.
There's all kinds of evidence that's come out, including in a trial that ended in a conviction of at least two major Iranian plots to kill Donald Trump.
And nobody in America knows about it.
So they want to know, was there any imminent danger to the United States?
Yeah, there was an ongoing plot to kill the president of the United States.
And of course, the Democrats don't give a damn about.
I mean, we're just saving money because they want to impeach him.
That's disgusting.
The Drive-by Media00:04:39
And that's right.
I mean, there's a Pakistani man sitting in prison right now.
There's an evidence.
The evidence that's coming out is overwhelming that they're spending half their time trying to figure out how to kill him.
Now, I take this personally because they spend a little of their time trying to kill me, which I take personally.
I've offered to go there and get even, but so we're going to take a short break and then we're going to be right back.

Ara Abramian's Legion of Honor00:02:46
We have with us a very, very distinguished gentleman.
Ara Abramian is a very, very distinguished citizen of Armenia.
And he has also, in addition to his tremendous success in business and in development of his country, he's also been involved in saving the lives of hostages.
And he just gives part of himself to doing this, including, and I'll have him tell this to you, including some Americans.
And it doesn't matter who they are.
He's there to try to help them.
Now, you might remember because it got quite a bit of attention when he received the award, which he received an award at the, Was it still the Kennedy Center or had it become the Trump Kennedy Center at that point?
He received the he received the award for for called the Heart in Hand Award.
And it was for all of the work that he did through the international organization Global Reach to save hostages and to bring hostages home from all different parts of the world.
Of course, his own people, but people all over the world.
So first I want to ask Ara, who, how did you get involved in this kind of work when You're an enormously successful and very busy businessman, and quite frankly a very wealthy man that's really true
humanitarian person and I trust in God have a little small opportunity I would like to help and I would like to be held and And I feel needed because I'm saving some people's life and could do more.
You received the order of the Legion of Honor in France.
I mean, just to throw one out there, the Legion of Honor in France, I mean, that's one of the highest, that's the highest award of the government of France.
Americans Confused on Armenia and Azerbaijan00:14:20
very very humble man i must say so what is americans are americans i think are confused somewhat about the situation between armenia on the one hand turkey and azerbaijan on the other we know
We know Americans are pretty well informed about the genocide and the Turkish genocide and the failure of Erdogan to really face up to at least I am.
A lot of people in America have this sort of benign notion about Erdogan.
I don't.
So you should know.
But tell me about the situation between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
that can be settled first of all i believe it's much better now than it used to be before Let's thank you to President Trump, because he was crucial.
So the personal relationship between Prime Minister of Armenia and President of Azerbaijan is much, much better today.
And it didn't exist before.
And we have President Trump to thank Frank.
I don't think President of Azerbaijan would ever agree to be where he is right now without Trump's role.
I don't know what he promised.
I don't know what he said.
Sometimes I don't know what Trump does either.
But the long-term issue, right, is Azerbaijan wants to take Armenia, Does Turkey want to take Armenia, or both?
Does Turkey want to take Armenia or Turkey?
Or both?
You know, Azerbaijan wants for sure.
Azerbaijan wants for sure.
Because he got a present because of Prime Minister Pashinyan, Karabakh, this whole territory.
Karabakh is a pure Armenian territory.
fully Armenian territory for thousands of years.
Armenians live there.
According to international law, it was never part of Azerbaijan.
20,000 Armenians left at houses there, universities, museums, everything was beautifully built and they left.
And now he wants to take independent part of Armenia, which has never been part of the question.
Of course, Armenians have a lot of respect, and Americans, and the world of Armenians, and the world of Armenians.
And...
And the international Armenian community has enormous respect to President Trump.
It's American Armenians.
The Armenian community, people should know, in the United States, has become a very strong force in California for sure, but even in New York, It's more than just, I mean, they're very well organized and very determined to save their country.
I mean, it's remarkable.
But this whole historically, this is another extremist Muslim-Christian dispute, isn't it?
I think it's not really so.
I think not really so.
Because Armenians always lived in Middle East and Saudi Arabia around Muslims.
They could not never cut a promise.
But they're Christians.
Are all Armenians Christians or most Armenians?
I thought so.
And we peacefully live next to the Muslim neighbors, never had religious problems.
It's more not a religious issue.
Explain Turkey, many years, Armenian and Azerbaijan.
They were not Azerbaijanis, they were Turks.
1805, the war between Czarist Russia and Iran started.
And in 1813, all the eastern part of Azerbaijan and the eastern part of Armenia started the Russian Empire.
After the invasion of the Czarist Empire, And when the empire fell apart, Russian empire, that they became inheritance of Soviet Union.
So Karbakh used to be a republic as a part of Azerbaijan.
Then they got rid of Karabakh's Republic and made it an independent region.
And they lived with Azerbaijan.
It was always under dispute, was disputable territory.
And according to international law, Karbak has never been a part of Azerbaijan.
That's the disputed territory.
ted can you put up a map of azerbaijan and armenia and armenia i'll send you books and studies on it documentaries and american experts israeli experts but are is this is this uh
Is the dispute just about that territory, or is it about taking over all of Armenia?
If you go back in Yeah, you're absolutely right, Mr. Speaker.
Armenia is Armenia.
It was Eastern Armenia during the Soviet Union, Tsars, Russia, and the genocide started in 87.
And the years of 13, 15, 16 were the most difficult years.
And the years of 13, 15, 16 were most difficult years.
More than 1.5 million Armenians got killed.
And a million fled as refugees from Turkey.
So Karabakh was a part of Azerbaijan.
Ket stay is a part of Azerbaijan.
We could come back to this.
So what will the effect be on Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Turkey?
the situation in Iran changes.
I don't know, but I want to believe that President Trump will keep supporting what he started to support, the peace between Azerbaijan, Armenia and Turkey.
Azerbaijan is very aggressive.
If you read what they say right now on their websites, it's not very nice.
It's not very nice.
What do they say?
Some of our cops sit in jails in Azerbaijan.
Three former Karabakh presidents are in jail in Azerbaijan.
And it's a show.
This trial and Arab beliefs it's not right and it's not lawful what Azerbaijan does for this imprisoned Armenians.
So how many are there?
Are there Armenians in Iran?
It has to be some, right?
And the Azeris are the Azerbaijan people in Iran.
It's not the same Azerbaijan.
There are 10 million Azerbaijans in Iran, but they're not a bit different.
A lot of Armenians used to be now less, maybe only 30,000 people.
Now, are the Aziris who originally come from Azerbaijan, are they now part of Iran more and Armenians too?
They come as well.
Because they are Muslims, they feel much more comfortable in Iran.
In Armenia, the Iranian Azerbaijan are closer to Azerbaijan than to Armenia, of course.
Because of the religion.
What's the main reason, religion?
I don't know.
Azerbaijan never had a very good relationship with Iran.
It was difficult always.
Azerbaijan always had difficult relations with Azerbaijan?
Yes.
It's always had difficult relations with Iran.
Even though they were both Iran was more supportive of Armenia than of Azerbaijan.
That's right.
That is correct.
I remember that.
Now, are the people in Azerbaijan, are they Sunni?
I wonder, we're going to have to look at that.
We're all combined.
I've spent a lot of time talking to the Aziris.
Because I work with a group that's trying to put Iran back together.
But we don't want to have it.
We don't want to have, should you put together a democratic form of Iran, you don't want the Aziris to go off to Azerbaijan.
And you don't want the Kurds.
If the Kurds end up organizing, then you're going to have a war with Erdogan, right?
You want to try to all keep them in.
And I got the feeling that the Aziris, even more than the Kurds, have become Iranians more than they are now Azerbaijan.
You know what I'm saying?
100% you're right.
You're right.
100%.
They're more engaged, much more than Kurds.
And I thought the Kurds in Iran have become more connected than, let's say, the Kurds in Iraq.
I think if they could get rid of the maniac government they have, they could probably put together something where they'd be able to govern.
Preserving Civilization in Armenia00:10:52
This is a very big question.
That's the question.
It's important to know what's going to happen with Iran.
Of course, is it going to change or keep as a whole, if the territory will be divided?
I feel it could become a good democratic country with these minorities you just mentioned.
I think it could be.
I've got to ask you a question.
You don't have to answer it because it may be too sensitive, it may not be.
Tell me about Erdogan.
You all know Erdogan is a big politician.
He never accepted and agreed with Armenian genocide, never admitted.
And our Prime Minister doesn't want to raise the question about Henocide.
He believes that current Prime Minister of Armenia plays more for Turkey and Azerbaijan relationships than for what he needs to do for his country.
Unfortunately, I don't want to see those saints.
I'm Armenian and I love Armenia.
And I do as much as I can and I invest as much money as possible in Armenia.
This Prime Minister is not doing anything for Armenia.
He wants us to lose our memory about what happened.
You're not allowed to lose your memory.
It's too important to the Christian relations.
You're a very, very important part of the Christian religion.
And the history of it, and the history of Western civilization.
used to go when i was mayor i used to go every uh january 7 to the christmas celebration at the armenian church on 30 on the one near the one uh on 34th street you know the beautiful the beautiful one that when you're entering the uh the uh queen's mid-town town There's another Armenian cathedral on Lower East Side.
That's where the older Armenians who first came to America came.
Now, you know, most of them came to New York first and then they went out to California.
They probably didn't like the weather here.
Or maybe they realized even back then that New York is a crooked democratic city.
But they left.
So they have two cathedrals.
This would probably get me in a lot of trouble because the two archbishops were friends of mine.
I kind of like the one on the east side better.
It's so beautiful.
At the east side.
Beautiful light.
And then you could get to celebrate Christmas again.
And I would go there and we would give out presents and the two Armenian archbishops were very good friends.
And it's part of ancient Christianity.
It's part of the history of Christianity.
It's the preaching of the apostles and the first Christmas.
To retain our civilization, we have to retain it.
You're a great man.
I know your position in general and your position towards Armenia.
And your objectives.
You're saying very right things.
I remember, Mr. Mayor, how you came to Armenia and to Kinnesai Museum.
You wrote in the book about your visit.
And you're a brave person to come to Armenia at that time.
And the sign that didn't say yes, the Kennesai was there.
Not everyone could do it.
You know Vice President Wentz didn't do it when he was here.
He was an Armenian.
So we're going to keep our eyes.
And they said something our way media took it out.
Well, so many things are happening.
You know, we looked at the map.
So many things are happening there.
We've got to keep our eye on Arminia to make sure it is in the middle.
We believe in it.
And we look for help.
You have my help.
It's a very strong feeling that we have to be preserved in Armenia, so that it will be preserved properly.
So, all my support, please.
I'm confident that you can make a great contribution to the people.
The Armenian people that came to the United States, I mean, they remind me of the Cuban people, they remind me of even the Iranian people that came to the United States.
It's amazing when they talk about the Iranian diaspora.
These people are like scientists and doctors enormously successful people.
Which tells you they were being held back.
My family lives in America.
You're an example of it.
I built a few churches, American churches in America.
Armenians are very dedicated.
Wherever they live, they're dedicated to their own people.
Two million Armenians live in the US, more than that.
they're very committed Americans they integrate it I'm glad you're telling everybody you're preaching the converted I know that it's tough to have people hear that.
I'm going to have my people here.
They are exceptionally good people and good Americans.
They are ready to do it.
They are ready to do it.
Just take World War II.
350,000 Americans participated.
And there are many Armenians in the American army who fought in the United States.
God bless him.
And once again, we got off on using him as an expert on Armenia.
This man is a world-level humanitarian.
I mentioned two of the awards that he received.
He's received so many awards.
It's really, it's really, yes, he has a great love for Armenia, but he has a lot of people.
You help all people.
I look at what you've done.
People who are in trouble and you help them.
I love people.
In Africa, Argentina.
Yes, I love people, I love human beings, and I know that he is in trouble.
If he is a muscle, I don't want to do more.
In 2022, you got American hostages out.
Bill Richardson, my friend Bill Richardson, dealing depart.
22, 23, 24, 25.
I thank the governor.
Did you work a lot with Bill?
With Bill.
Bill is a wonderful man.
I wish we had him now.
He was a big supporter of MBK.
The Iranian dissident group that I support run by Madame Ross.
And he and I did many missions for her together.
I wish we had him because we have a few Democrats left, but he, you know, he didn't care.
Republican Democrats.
If you couldn't be tortured, they would be so.
They were very good friends.
I was a good friend of his friend.
But he came to New Mexico.
But there's a really very important reason why he's a very good friend.
He came to Armenia, he came to Russia, Moscow, many times.
Governor Richardson, personally for him, it was such an important...
He was like a kid, 15-year-old kid.
When they released people, he was so happy.
And, you know, Ted, we're missing...
We're missing him now.
He'd have been a big voice at MBK.
He was there all the time.
But there's a reason why I was very close to you know what?
He was a Yankee fan.
He and I used to go to Yankee games together.
And Bill Clinton couldn't figure it out.
He was Bill Kling's ambassador.
Clinton used to think he was selling him out by going to the Yankee games with me.
And I was getting him to throw all the bums out of the UN.
Well, Ara, I have to tell you, thank you very, very much.
We'll stay in very close touch.
We want to make sure that everything works out right.
You are a real treasure.
You are our treasure.
Thank you very much.
And please come to Russia in Armenia.
Yes, yes.
Oh, I've loved my trip to Armenia.
I would love to come back to Russia.
We could release somebody there, too.
Yes.
Freedom Amidst Disparate Parts00:06:04
And make sure they're not.
You know, my fear is there are so many other things being considered here that in the mix, somebody's not going to think about Armenia.
So we're going to think about ours.
We're going to make sure that Armenia comes out of this like it should, a much stronger country and a great representative of Western civilization, which is what you are.
Thank you.
Armenia is a good friend of the United States.
It is.
Always has been.
Well, I think we've covered everything tonight that we that is never covered everything.
Well, we never cover everything.
I'm looking at my notes here.
I think we have a lot of, we covered a lot of stuff.
So I think what we're waiting on now is to find out, did this be the shortest reign for an Ayatollah ever?
I do hope so because I hope that after this Ayatollah goes off to see if he can find his 72 or 79 versions, that we will not again have another Ayatollah.
So that would mean he would be the shortest reigning Ayatollah.
And I don't want to, you know, I don't want to be disrespectful, but I mean, they're the ones who say this.
I don't.
According to them, if you read the books correctly and the Hadith, they're in line for 72 or 79 virgins.
Not going to happen, boys.
Arithmetic doesn't work.
Arithmetic doesn't work.
We're about 51.2% female, about 49.8% male.
How are you going to get 79 virgins for all these guys?
Look how many are dying.
I mean, the Israelis are killing them, the American left and right.
They're all going up there looking for their virgins.
They're gone.
How about we cut the shit?
All right.
And let's be real about what's going on here.
This is 1,400 years.
It's 1,400 years of being persecuted.
It's 1,400 years of being euphemistic.
They hate us.
They want to kill us.
When they came into the Twin Towers on September 11, I could hear them yelling, Allah Akbar.
And I was yelling back, we should have fixed this 1,400 years ago, or you should have.
It's time for you to fix it.
And stop defending them.
If you're Muslim and you're not like that, then come and join me and stand up against them.
Don't defend them, they're not to be defended.
I I, I didn't defend the mafia.
They were Italian.
What did I do?
I put them in prison for the rest of their lives.
I'd have executed them if I could.
You just you, come over here with us and you say, we're not part of that.
But until you do that, this is going to be a real problem.
The whole world is being split by this now.
All of Africa war war Nigeria, every place.
It's time to face it honestly and get it over with and let's kind of all get together based on the fact that religions have very ancient parts to them.
You can extricate them, take out the good part, forget the bad part, and the people who want to be part of the bad part, they're not part of you.
So we'll spend more time on that.
We have a few experts coming up who really know how to do that.
But right now, I think we're going to be in line for trying to figure out another successor.
And my recommendation is Maryam Rajavi and her provisional government.
I think that they have the support inside.
I think you don't realize, and we'll go into more detail on this tomorrow night because I want to get you over to Wendell TV.
We'll go into more detail tomorrow night because I was just putting this together before the show started.
But I don't think you know the amount of work the MEK, the NCRI, and related groups have been doing inside of Iran.
We concentrate on Tehran, where Israel, to some extent, the U.S. is, of course, doing most of the work.
But outside Tehran, it's the dissident groups that are doing it.
And within the last week alone, there have been 40 attacks in 40 different places in Iran, some of which have been remarkably successful to take control of that city.
So it's building up slowly, but very, very surely.
And these are people who are members of the MEK, to some extent, people who are associated with the NCRI.
And then a new group in which they are getting a number of volunteers on the spot, which they describe as dissident youth.
I'd rather have a better name for them, but these are young people who want no part of a theocratic government.
They grew up under it, and they want no part of a theocratic government.
Freedom Beyond Partisan Lines00:02:58
And I'll get you more details on that.
But this apparently is happening in disparate parts of Iran as we speak.
So there's a lot going on here.
Let's not give up.
Nothing to give up about.
This is going very, very well.
Democrats will do everything they can to stop it.
I don't know why.
But this is way beyond Democrats, Republicans, or whatever.
This is about people having freedom.
And when you can give people freedom, there's nothing better you can do.
So let's pray for the people of Iran.
Let's pray for the people of Armenia.
Let's pray for the people of Ukraine, of Russia, of Israel, because these are the people in harm's way who are dying as a result of all this.
And let's pray for the people of the United States.
But mostly in the United States, let's pray for the president because he's making all the decisions.
The weight's on his shoulder.
He's doing an unbelievable job, but he can't do it without you, God.
Can't do it without you.
He knows that.
He knows you saved him too.
So we'll be back tomorrow night, Ted, right?
We'll be here soon.
What time?
7 p.m.
Where?
Lindell TV.
Okay, and then where?
8 p.m.
Okay, now go over to Lindell TV and watch the absolutely incomparable Dr. Maria, who hopefully we'll have as a guest on our show tomorrow night.
God bless America.
It's our purpose to bring to bear the principle of common sense and rational discussion to the issues of our day.
America was created at a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreements, anger, hatred.
There was a book written in 1776 that guided much of the discipline of thinking that brought to us the discovery of our freedoms, of our God-given freedoms.
It was Thomas Paine's Common Sense, written in 1776, one of the first American bestsellers, in which Thomas Paine explained, by rational principles, the reason why these small colonies felt the necessity to separate from the kingdom of Great Britain and the King of England.
He explained their inherent desire for liberty, for freedom, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the ability to select the people who govern them.
And he explained it in ways that were understandable to all the people, not just the elite.
Because the desire for freedom is universal.
The desire for freedom adheres in the human mind and it is part of the human soul.
This is exactly the time we should consult our history.
Look at what we've done in the past and see if we can't use it to help us now.
