Ted Goodman hosts the Rudy Giuliani show on Lindel TV, detailing Iran's second-week war where Secretary Pete Hegseth claims U.S. strikes degraded Iranian missile capabilities by 90%. Goodman condemns Iran's targeting of Dubai's Al-Arabah Hotel and President Trump's rejection of a new Ayatollah, while Kara Castranova reports on Pentagon efforts to minimize civilian casualties amidst DHS funding shutdowns. The host argues Tehran seeks to survive until November midterms by closing the Straits of Hormuz and notes NYC arrests of ISIS-inspired nail bomb throwers targeting Mayor Mamdani protesters. Ultimately, the broadcast frames the conflict as a strategic Iranian gambit to exploit American public opinion before the election. [Automatically generated summary]
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Rudy Giuliani show on Lindel TV.
The mayor is tied up for just a few more minutes.
Of course, you know he loves coming to you live each and every night, and he'll be here in just a few minutes.
In the meantime, you're stuck with me.
Great to be with you on this side of the camera.
Of course, I helped produce the Rudy Giuliani show along with Jason, who's on the other side of the screen.
And we often have Stephen with us.
So we've got quite the team.
So, of course, we're following the ongoing war in Iran.
It's entered its second week with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth promising today, and I'm paraphrasing just a little bit, that today would be the most intense day of the war so far.
Of course, the United States, along with its ally Israel, continues to target hundreds, if not thousands, of Iranian military installations, including its radar system and its ability to launch rockets to neighboring countries, which we've been seeing.
The Pentagon told us today that Iran's missile capability, its ability to launch missiles, has been degraded by 90%.
That's 90%.
So we're seeing a lot less coming out of Iran as it continues to target neighboring countries.
Of course, early on in the war, it surprised a lot of people.
Iran had targeted a number of the Gulf states, including the UAE, Bahrain, Bahrain, sorry, and I believe Saudi Arabia.
And let's be clear, they, at least from their perspective, they claim they were targeting U.S. military installations within those countries.
So that's at least what they were claiming.
We know, of course, that that wasn't the case.
A number of civilian locations were hit, including the Al-Arabah Hotel in Dubai.
And we believe, and the mayor has talked about this quite often, right?
It is believed that these locations were targeted to try and apply pressure to the Trump administration and to President Trump to stop the bombing campaign, right?
The idea being Iran was hopeful its attacks against the UAE, right, hitting Dubai, these places that for the past 20 to 30 years have been thought of as sort of safe havens, right, in an otherwise volatile Middle East.
Well, Iran kind of took away that, which it was kind of like a veil, right?
A false sense of security.
And Iran reminded a lot of these Gulf states of just what sort of state actor it is.
So that did surprise a number of people.
Of course, if you've been with us and the mayor, you weren't surprised by that tactic at all.
Iran has promised repeatedly that any attack against them would severely impact its neighbors.
And again, that is a strategy in order to try to apply additional pressure to the United States and Israel to end the campaign, the bombing, by, you know, they're thinking just a few strikes here, a few strikes there, they can hit a hotel here, that that's enough to, that those countries would apply enough pressure to the president to end the bombing campaign.
Of course, we haven't seen that.
The president was well aware of this.
Of course, he knows these Iranians.
He's been dealing with them since the beginning of his presidency, even beforehand, right?
He spoke about the terrible deal struck between President Obama and the Islamic regime that he swiftly tore up, if you remember, right away during the first term.
Now, Iran, for its part, has named a new Ayatollah, the son of the individual that met his maker just a week ago.
We have him up on the screen there.
This news, the president reacting, he's not happy.
He's very disappointed with this decision and again has repeatedly said that the United States will have to approve any new leadership change for this to work.
So, you know, we're kind of in an interesting spot here where we haven't, I don't know if we've seen the new Ayatollah yet in public.
Of course, they are in hiding as both the United States and really even more so Israel has promised to deal with this new leader as they dealt with the last one.
So, and this is coming from Pete Hegseth: quote: Today you're going to see the most intense day of U.S. strikes.
That according to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
And meanwhile, Tehran has also responded.
They're continuing their campaign against, you know, they're trying to hit Israel.
Of course, Iron Dome is working to keep most of those missiles and projectiles from reaching civilians.
And the UAE, of course, is being hit hard.
And what we've seen there, of course, is that they too have a strong, I'm not going to call it the Iron Dome, but they are very much prepared for this moment and are successfully intercepting a vast majority of these missiles coming from Iran.
Again, if you're with us, we're just moments away.
Jason, do we have Kara at the White House?
Not yet.
So we are waiting for a live report from the White House with our great White House correspondent, Kara Castranova.
Of course, a busy day.
I saw her at the podium.
She got a question into our friend Caroline Levitt today.
So we'll want to recap that.
But of course, a big story.
We're continuing to follow events out of Iran.
Caroline Levitt today gave us some updates.
And, you know, I want to go to Kara for these updates from the press secretary.
You know, the Straits of Hermuz, the president has stated that we will, if necessary, escort commercial vessels through that location if necessary.
You see it up on the screen.
That is a choke point.
And if you look there at its narrowest gap, I believe it's something like 21 miles wide.
So Iran has, you know, has control of that.
And they're able to maintain this influence with really what I understand is at this point, you know, a handful of drones and some very light, lightweight boats.
But because it's so narrow and the threat is so large, you know, international shipping in that, look, this isn't the military, right?
When we're talking about a commercial vessel with commercial sailors and these shipping companies on board, right?
They're not going to take, you know, if there's even the risk of something happening and there's an ongoing war, they're going to tread with caution.
So people sometimes, you know, you hear this question a lot: how is Iran able to impact global shipping with, you know, with limited manpower and machinery and weaponry?
However, again, right, the threshold is low to keep a commercial shipping line.
I mean, these container ships, right, they're worth billions and billions of dollars.
And so they're not going to take that risk.
I believe we have Kara live from the White House.
Kara, are you in a skate?
Kara, is that the North Lawn?
Yes, it is.
We're here at the White House.
It's a beautiful night out for once in Washington, D.C.
It's supposed to get cold tomorrow, but tonight it's about 70 degrees.
So it's very nice out tonight, Ted.
And it's good to see you.
It's great to see you.
My goodness, another busy day in Washington at the White House.
We saw you got a question.
And today, what did you have for Caroline Levitt today?
Well, first, let's start off with the Pentagon.
It was an early day.
Pete Hegseth actually did a briefing.
I'm not sure if you saw that was at 8 a.m. this morning.
And it's pretty exciting times because the new media has all the front row seats.
And it's exciting because the mainstream media is in the back for once.
And the Secretary really respects the alternate media like Lindell TV and others, like the Gateway Pundit, for example, and has given us front row seats and calls on us.
So I did get a question with Pete Hegseth, with Secretary Hagseth, and this is it.
Take a listen.
President Trump has long said that he wants to minimize the loss of life in war, which wherever it occurs in whatever country, which so many people obviously appreciate.
Can you detail the specific measures the Pentagon is taking to minimize civilian casualties and strikes inside Iran?
And secondarily, is the Pentagon prioritizing replenishment of precision-guided munitions, long-range ranged strike weapons, or air defense interceptors?
And can you share any details on which systems are being prioritized?
Yeah, seeing it from the inside every single day, including this, no nation takes more precautions to ensure there's never targeting of civilians than the United States of America.
From the boat strikes in the Caribbean, where every single strike is assessed to this campaign here, no nation in the history of warfare has ever attempted in every way possible to avoid civilian casualties.
And frankly, that's a point that just isn't appreciated enough.
Where things happen that need to be investigated, we will investigate to the question shouted in the back.
That it's not open source is not the place to determine what did or did not happen.
We take things very, very seriously and investigate them thoroughly, which takes time, which is why it does take time.
But ultimately, unlike Iran, who targets civilians indiscriminately, who we've seen in the intel moving rocket launchers into civilian neighborhoods, near schools, near hospitals, to try to prevent our ability to strike.
That's how they operate.
And then they set the targeting of drones and missiles toward civilian targets, hospitals, hotels, airports.
CENTCOM's been very good about putting that information out.
That's how terrorist regimes fight.
They target civilians.
We do not.
And I can tell you, this administration and this Pentagon focuses on that very, very closely.
Well, that was a go ahead.
That was a the secretary did a great job breaking that down.
I'm also glad he didn't necessarily answer the question regarding rearmament of those weapons capabilities.
But very good question, Kara.
Well, Ted, he actually looked to the Joint Chief of Staff, I believe, to answer that question and then was rudely interrupted by a shouting mainstream media reporter in the back who just, you know, that's been common at the Pentagon because they're not in the front.
They just shout and interrupt like mid-sentence.
Like literally, he looked over to get the answer and somebody started shouting.
So it is quite frustrating being at the Pentagon.
For once, we actually have front row seats and then people are shouting in the back because they're not getting called on.
And that's how we feel.
You know, we're alternate media.
We have to share the room with the mainstream media.
They always are guaranteed to get called on all the time, you know, but not the Pentagon because they relinquished their passes, as you know.
They didn't want to sign an agreement that they weren't going to leak and all of these other things.
And now they don't have seats anymore.
They gave them up willingly.
So I guess that's the ramifications of that.
But that was a question I think that he was pointing to Joint Chief of Staff to answer and unfortunately did not get answered.
So when the Secretary mentioned, was that this morning where he said today would be the most intense day so far of the war?
What did you take away from that when he said that?
I wasn't really, I mean, I don't know what I took away from that, just that, you know, I know there's a lot of things going on, obviously, with this war that we are not privy to, especially behind the scenes here and at the Pentagon.
When you're there, you just sense it.
Like sort of when you're in the room, you sense the tension.
You sense the stakes.
They're very high.
You sense that the secretary, who I know when he worked at Fox News, is very stressed out, has a lot on his mind.
It seems like almost a changed person from the person that I guess we all remember from Fox and Friends and from Fox News.
Now he has more gray hairs than ever before.
So definitely, I think, a stressful scenario for any Secretary of War being at war with Iran.
And the stakes are high every day, today included.
So I don't know what he meant by that, but I'm sure that it was something that we don't have privy to with that information.
Maybe it'll come out tomorrow.
That's right.
Well, of course, Kara, today pulling double duty.
You were at the Pentagon.
Great question.
Great that you were able to be there so early in the morning.
And then you made your way from Pentagon City, right?
It's in Arlington or is it in Pentagon City?
I think it's on the borderline of both.
It's just the Pentagon complex itself.
I'm not sure if you've been inside there, Ted, is massive.
It's massive.
It's like literally a town in and of itself.
I asked my friend, what do you do when you want to get a lunch?
How do you get lunch?
Well, there's food there.
There is a complete food.
There's a food court.
There's a doctor's office.
There's a dentist.
There's a mall.
It's inside of the city.
There's a Chick-fil-A in there, right?
I believe so.
There's about 15 to 20 different restaurants in there.
Well, you made your way from the Pentagon, right, down over to the White House.
I did.
You were present for that with Caroline Levitt.
Do we have Kara's question to Caroline?
Sure.
DHS currently under a partial Democrat shutdown.
Does the administration have any specific concerns about potential impacts on Homeland Security or intelligence monitoring on sleeper cells inside the United States?
And do you have any comment on the bombing, the 200 individuals that bombed New York City or trying to?
Yeah, it was absolutely despicable to see that attack in New York City.
I know the FBI is investigating and the Department of Justice and SDNY have announced they are charging those two individuals and alleged terrorists.
And I know they won't rest until justice is sought in this.
So that was in reference to that alleged, well, it wasn't alleged, it happened, that bombing, but the bombs didn't go off.
But it was an attempted bombing in New York City, as you know, by two people who said that they're ISIS sympathizers.
So it's alarming with DHS being defunded, obviously, that, you know, there's more terror alerts, I guess, right now at this time in history, especially in the United States.
Can the Regime Survive?00:15:30
And the Democrats are continuing to choose to not fund DHS, Ted.
That's right, Kara.
And it's fascinating, right?
Politically, I'm actually, I don't know how you feel, but it's surprising to see Democrats willing to go this far with blocking DHS funding, considering what we saw in New York City, what we saw outside the U.S. Consulate, I believe in Toronto, Canada, and numerous other attacks.
Anybody from the White House or DHS talking to you about their concerns and how are Democrats able to get away with this?
I know that there is a lot of concern.
It's sort of at the top of the town.
Everybody is concerned, and Democrats will continue to use this as leverage, obviously, to get their way when it comes to keeping the border open.
So, yes, I don't know when they're going to decide to fund DHS.
There's a lot of people who are not getting paid, as you know, TSA workers.
There was another question at the briefing today.
I don't have it, but to summarize, one of the reporters shared that she was at the airport and literally there was a crying THS worker saying she can't pay her bills, that she can't pay her rent.
She hasn't been paid in a while, and she can't take being upon anymore of the Democrat Party.
And she had tears in her eyes.
And this was literally a reporter who was in the briefing room today.
He was comforting this woman.
So a lot of people continue to suffer because of this shutdown, which is again leverage, as you know, that Democrats are using to get their way.
This is the second, I think, time that they're doing this, this Trump term, and I'm sure not the last.
So I guess it's a matter of who's going to stick it out the longest.
But DHS certainly has to be funded right now at such a time as this, Ted.
That's right, Kara.
So, I mean, man, what a busy day for you.
And you're still on the clock.
It's 7.15 in the evening.
I don't want to know what time you're at the Pentagon this morning.
Anything else you have for us?
I mean, man, we've got the Pentagon, the White House, you know, Capitol Hill.
They're always up to no good over there.
Anything else for us today, Kara?
Definitely.
Well, tomorrow the president is taking off.
So we'll try to get a question with him.
He's going to Kentucky and he'll meet with some lawmakers there.
So it's always fun to watch him take off on Marine One and head out.
And then he'll be returning later in the day, of course.
Friday, we're in the press pool.
Indell TV's in the press pool.
So hopefully we'll get to ask the president some questions.
There will be some executive orders being signed on that day.
So I will be there and hopefully get some questions in with the president.
So looking forward to Friday.
Well, awesome.
Well, Kara Castranova, live from the White House North Lawn.
Thank you as always, and we look forward to seeing you again real soon.
Thank you.
Well, Kara, doesn't she do a great job?
And again, she was at the Pentagon for that press briefing this morning and then made her way back into the city.
Those of you that know the area know that the Pentagon is actually located in the state of Virginia, sorry, the Commonwealth.
I believe Virginia is a Commonwealth, the Commonwealth of Virginia, just about 10 to 15 minutes away from the White House.
And then she made her way over to the White House where she was able to ask Caroline a great question today.
So thank you, Kara.
So again, we are keeping track of all things happening in Iran.
The U.S. says it's struck 16 Iranian mine-laying vessels near the Straits of Hormuz.
And now the Pentagon has raised the casualty numbers.
This is casualties, so that includes the wounded.
140 American service members have been wounded in this war, including eight severely.
That, of course, that comes, as we know now, seven dead, 140 injured.
Eight of those injuries are considered severe.
So now the big concern, the global concern, really, right, is what we're hearing out of Iran and the Islamic regime.
They seem to be at least threatening in some circles that they will in fact close the Straits of Hormuz, which would, of course, be a major disruption to the global oil supplies, you know, the trade of global oil.
If we can put that map back up, Jason, that kind of shows what we're talking about.
There we go.
That little point right there, again, at its narrowest point is just 21 miles across.
At this point, U.S., along with its Israeli counterparts, I mean, what we've been told is we've taken out virtually every Iranian naval vessel in the area.
We've taken out their radar systems, most, a lot of their anti-aircraft equipment.
And so, what's left?
Well, what's left is, again, a narrow at 1.20 miles wide straight.
It gets in its at certain points, it's very shallow.
And the Iranians, you know, they do have an extensive drone operation, right, which they've been working on for years now.
And don't want to go on a sidebar here, but a lot of these countries have learned with the Russia-Ukraine war, right?
They've been using drones there now for almost four years.
So what you're seeing here is just kind of, again, something that's been learned.
And this is kind of a new era that we live in, right?
Drone warfare.
And of course, with Iran, a big part of this is missiles, right?
Missile capability, missile stockpiles, right?
And of course, anti, you know, the missiles that are launched to stop the incoming missiles.
So anti-missile technology as well.
And it's a numbers game, right?
Both U.S. forces, of course, our Israeli counterparts.
And the Iranian, the Islamic regime, right, they have to keep track now at their missile output.
What do they have in terms of reserves?
And that's something, again, the rest of the world is watching in terms of the United States, China, and Russia, right?
They have no problem with watching the U.S. continuously launch missile after missile after missile, therefore degrading our stockpile, right?
And to China and maybe to Russia even, right?
They look at Iran and, you know, whatever happens politically, that's one thing.
But they're probably most interested in seeing the U.S. burn up as many missiles as possible.
Of course, we're being strategic as well.
And again, and Kara asked a great question.
I don't necessarily want the Secretary of War to tell us, you know, at least with any accuracy, our current stockpile and inventory.
And look, we don't want to spend the whole show on this specifically, but there's all sorts of different types of missiles, right?
And rockets and launching systems that all serve different purposes, right?
You've heard about the Tomahawks.
You've heard of the Patriots and we know about the bunker busters.
But there's, you know, just a whole wide range of weapon systems.
Really, what they are are weapon systems that we employ.
And so, you know, President Trump, again, right, as Kara explained, and as we all know, we're not privy to everything happening, especially in time of war.
But that's why we elect the, that's why we elect our leaders, right?
We trust them in time of war.
The president of the United States is also our commander in chief, right?
So we elected President Donald J. Trump because we trust he has the right instincts on this.
And he's indicated time and time again that the Islamic Republic cannot and will not obtain nuclear capabilities, nuclear weapons capability under his watch.
And he has held them, he's held them to this, right?
To the point where we just took out the head of the snake in the Ayatollah because, and this is coming from Steve Wickoff and our negotiators, right?
Apparently, even during the negotiations, the Iranian counterparts were acting in bad faith and they weren't negotiating in good faith.
And so the president acted.
And look, for the Islamic Republic, I mean, these guys, did they not just watch what happened in Venezuela just weeks ago?
I think they may have even been, the president may have pulled a fast one on them.
They may have, look, they've been dealing with, well, four years of the Biden administration, right?
Before that, Obama.
I mean, they're used to a Washington where they'll, you know, talk a tough game, speak a big game.
I bet you they were being told that.
I bet you their top advisor was saying, look, this is Trump.
He's brash.
He talks a big game.
He's not coming for us.
He won't do it.
He won't do it.
I bet you that's what they were thinking.
But the president, once again, and I don't understand how many times, and I think the world stage now understands.
When President Trump speaks, you ought to listen, right?
When he says he's going to do something at a certain time, if certain things aren't done, I think now the rest of the country can look and see, well, this guy's not, he's not messing around.
This isn't Obama, Syria, you know, fake red line 2013 anymore.
We have a commander-in-chief who is literally following through.
I mean, any of us that's been watching, any of you that's been watching this closely enough, you're not surprised, right, by what we've seen here up to this point.
And it'll be interesting now to see how the Islamic regime, right?
Because for them, this is existential.
For them, this is it.
This is, they are fighting for their own survival, right?
I'll tell you what, they probably feel like they have an opportunity here to make it out of this alive.
They probably feel as though, and look, I don't think the Israelis are being caught off guard.
I don't think President Trump's being caught off guard, right?
But you have to say that they are dug in Iran, right?
They aren't just going to give this up easy, right?
This Islamic Republic.
And look, they've been there 47 years, right?
These are entrenched interests that have had, at this point, generations and generations to kind of build up.
And it's almost become institutionalized, right?
And so it's not, I mean, this is a country of 90-something million people, okay?
Of course we've won the air campaign.
I mean, it's over.
We dominate the skies.
And of course, the sea, the United States Navy, we've dominated the oceans for going on 80 years now, right?
We've been the sole naval superpower.
Now, that's one thing, right?
But that's different than, you know, winning the battle is totally different than winning the war.
I mean, we'll continue to win any of these battles, right?
The Iranians just aren't matched.
They can't match up to us.
I mean, they have missile technology, I mean, 20, 30 years old in some cases, right?
They're relying on Soviet era technology in many cases.
Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.
Those heroes born 34 years ago.
And so that's not now what we need to be looking at, right?
I think Iran and the regime, they're banking on the fact that they can draw this out, right?
And at least stay alive.
For them, it's just about staying alive, right?
You know, that song, staying alive, staying alive.
That's what they're focused on, right?
They're not thinking beyond that.
And they're hopeful that, and they look, they watch closely.
The Iranians have people here.
They have people in the United States, right?
They're hopeful that a mixture of public sentiment here in America, they're hoping they can basically draw this out long enough, turn public opinion in the United States against this so strongly with these midterm elections coming up in November.
All they have to do is stay alive, project some sort of level of power too, right?
So let me take that back.
It's not as simple as just staying alive.
They also have to project some sort of level of power, at least domestically, right, to show people at home that they're still in charge and it ain't worth going out there to protest.
So that's where they rely on the besiege, right?
That's where they rely on some of these domestic security forces.
By the way, and I'm not sure what to make of this, and we're going to have a great guest.
We might even have her on this show, but next hour, but I am curious if it'd be interesting to understand how, you know, on the ground in Iran right now, the fact that what we saw recently were foreigners, right, joining the besiege.
The Iranian security services had to start relying on foreigners to join these security forces, which in some respects might tell you that, you know, the people of Iran Are it's it's almost untenable to join if you're in Iran because of what they've been ordered to do against their own people.
Uh, but be interesting to learn more about that, uh, the besieging these different groups and why they are employing foreign fighters.
But the I have a feeling the Islamic Republic right now, right?
That's what I refer to, because the Iranian people, we are, we want to, um, we want to free and liberate really, you know, from the United States perspective.
So the Islamic Republic, they really, they're at this point, they're playing, I don't want to call it a waiting game, but they just need to draw this out.
They need to stay alive, draw this out, and project at least a de minimis level of power, right, to show them, because they got to keep these opposition groups at bay.
But unfortunately, up until this point, at least, it does appear that they still have a grasp on things in terms of control within.
Of course, we're limited in what we know and what we get out of the country as far as information.
So, you know, there may be more happening than, of course, well, there is more happening than what we see.
And of course, the mayor, we get regular reports from MEK, NCRI, and different folks that we're talking to.
But it would be interesting to know how long something that would take, right?
How long, how much pressure has to be applied?
But as of right now, if you're the Islamic Republic, you're thinking, let's just, we just got to stay alive.
It's got to stay alive and keep it going here.
And eventually, United States public opinion will turn on, will turn against this war.
And when it comes to Israel, that's a whole some different factors at play there in what Iran's probably hoping for in terms of BB Netanyahu.
And so as of today, right, we're going to watch as we continue to hammer their military installations and capabilities.
But we'll start to see how long can this regime maintain control of its own people and will they be able to wait this thing out?

Oh, yeah.
And we're back and you're seeing our background there.
Oh, there we go.
Well, again, Mayor Giuliani, of course, we mentioned he's tied up at the moment, but we will see him very, very soon.
Another busy day.
But let's turn our focus to New York City.
Let's turn our focus to New York City.
That'll give me a chance to also reset our background.
Sorry, guys.
I'm just very distracted.
Let's play the clip.
So before we go into it, right, a lot of you have seen this now.
Let's play the clip full screen.
We want everyone here to stay in New York.
You don't get to come from outside and then tell everyone else.
So what we saw right there, probably should have set the scene before we played the clip.
So of course, in New York City, outside Gracie Mansion, that is the mayor's residence.
This past weekend, we saw protests and counter-protests.
And with the counter-protests, what we saw was some individuals kind of shouting about Mamdani.
I'm not even sure exactly what they were saying, but two individuals, right, who have now been arrested lobbed a nail bomb into the crowd.
So what you're seeing here is the arrests of one of the two.
Sorry, guys.
Yep, that's what you're seeing there.
And there's another one here.
So that's him.
That's him lighting it and then appearing to try and run.
You see a cop come after him and they were able to take him down.
So just harrowing, harrowing news out of New York.
These individuals were arrested, are now being charged.
Now, the media's coverage of it, right, that was really interesting.
The media had covered it as a explosive device thrown outside Mayor's home as if Mayor Mamdani was the target, when in fact it was clear that these individuals were targeting those that were protesting Mamdani, right?
And these individuals, it is now known that they are in fact, we believe, inspired by ISIS.
But I want to get the facts there before I go too far on that one.
So again, in New York City, two individuals arrested and charged for attempted, I mean, look, they literally had thrown, and these devices didn't go off, but bombs, homemade bombs at others, and that's happening in New York.
So again, Mayor Giuliani will be with us very soon.
You're stuck with me for the hour.
And again, dominating the news again, the Iran war, right?
What we're seeing there, an intense, an intense, an intensity that we haven't seen yet, according to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
The U.S. targeting literally thousands and thousands of Iranian military installations.
And of course, with our Israeli partners, Israel, maybe it might have the best human intelligence in the world, right?
They are second to none.
And so what they've been able to do in terms of kind of knowing and locating the Ayatollah, where he'd be and when, and that operation was conducted, I mean, my goodness, with absolute precision, right?
And they really are some of the best in the world.
So as far as allies go, Israel is at the top of the list.
Now, let's listen to our Secretary of War.
That was this morning and what he promised to be a very, very busy day.
As President Trump declared yesterday, we're crushing the enemy in an overwhelming display of technical skill and military force.
We will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated.
But we do so.
We do so on our timeline and at our choosing.
For example, today will be yet again our most intense day of strikes inside Iran.
The most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes, intelligence more refined and better than ever.
So that's on one hand.
On the other hand, the last 24 hours have seen Iran fire the lowest number of missiles they've been capable of firing yet.
You see, this is not 2003.
This is not endless nation building under those types of quagmires we saw under Bush or Obama.
It's not even close.
Our generation of soldiers will not let that happen again, and nor will this president, who very clearly ran against those kinds of never-ending, nebulously scoped missions.
Those days are dead.
Instead, we're winning decisively with brutal efficiency, total air dominance, and an unbreakable will to accomplish the president's objectives on our timeline.
We stay locked on the target because here at the Department of War, that's our job.
Welcome back.
So there you heard from Secretary Hagseth.
And as Kara said, I don't want to say he's a changed man, right?
But I do think the Secretary has surprised a lot of people in and around Washington.
I think, you know, his pick when he was selected as the Secretary for the Department of War, then the Department of Defense, it surprised a lot of people, not necessarily because folks thought he couldn't handle the job, right?
Although there were plenty of those critics, but his name just wasn't thought of right at the top of the list when we were thinking of names for the Secretary of War, you know.
But I think he's really kind of grown into the position, right?
He's come, he's really, really, look, this past week and a half, I can't think of one thing he's done that we can't be proud of as Americans.
Now, of course, we're not privy to everything that he's doing, but I do feel that Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, has really grown into the position and surprised a lot of people.
And really, this should silence some of his naysayers and the critics, right?
And I get it.
Again, he was on Fox News.
So automatically, Democrats and others in the media are going to pan him, right?
His age, he's a younger man for that role, right?
And so people were like, what?
Even some of our own people, a little bit surprised by that move.
I, of course, trusted Trump, and I saw some wisdom in that selection, actually.
We don't have to Down that path today, but I've met Secretary Hagseth numerous times going back to the going back eight years ago.
And even at the time, I definitely saw some qualities.
So I'm not, I wasn't, I mean, look, I was a little bit surprised, right?
It wasn't the top of my list in terms of Secretary of War.
But when he named Pete Hegseth, I thought back to a very specific meeting I had with Pete Hegseth, not just me, a small group, right?
On a trip he had taken to Michigan when he was supporting John James for U.S. Senate.
This would have been way back in 2018.
Wow, that seems like a lifetime ago.
But we're kind of getting off track here.
The point being, Secretary Hagseth has really, really led with confidence and he's shown the American people at the podium.
He's outlined and outlawed what we're doing and he's projecting confidence.
And so he's really been doing a good job there as the Secretary of War.
There you go.
Secretary Hagseth, you got a good job from Ted Goodman.
So there's always that, right?
So, okay, so again, ladies and gentlemen, this hour, this was kind of a look, we've spent a lot of time on Iran, and rightfully so.
That's where ongoing military operations have been happening.
And of course, with the Secretary telling us that today would be the most intense day yet.
And we're following what's happening in New York and some domestic issues.
But we're going to take another short break because we are going to start preparing for the eight o'clock hour.
So we're going to take a short break and we'll be right back.

Again, we've entered the second week.
And so, excuse me, I'm just kind of following up here to see where we're at.
Now, a lot of focus on the Straits of Hormuz, right?
There's concerns that Iran's going to attempt to choke off really what's, you know, the world's like number one access to oil in the Arabian Gulf, the Persian Gulf.

And oftentimes I'm able to do that now.
But I'm with you.
So we will sign off now, get over to X in just nine minutes for America's Mayor Live, episode 882.
But we're going to sign off here first.
