Rudy Giuliani links recent US violence to Islamic extremism, alleging the Old Dominion shooter yelled "Allah Akbar" and claiming Michigan law enforcement withholds a suspect's Muslim name. He criticizes the Biden and Obama administrations for misclassifying Fort Hood as non-Islamic terrorism while demanding Senator John Thune implement a "talking filibuster" to expose illegal voting. Giuliani accuses Senators Lisa Murkowski and John Cornyn of opposing voter ID laws for personal gain, noting Cornyn's alleged ties to Ken Paxton amidst the Asif Merchant assassination plot conviction. The episode concludes with skepticism regarding Cornyn's primary challenge against Paxton and a call for prayer for the president. [Automatically generated summary]
And today is another day of violence in America and violence from what seems to be now a repetitive source.
The violence, at least for certainly, the attack on Old Dominion University came about because of adherence to this book that I have here called The Koran.
When someone is shooting and attempting to kill you and yelling Allah Akbar, this is what they're taught in this book that I have right here, in which there are many, many references to killing non-believers, slitting their throat, certainly never being friends with Christians and Jews.
So if you read this book, if you treated it as the most holy book in the world, then to follow this book, you would be doing what the terrorist in Old Dominion was doing, attempting to kill Christians.
Or we'll have to see about about the person in in Michigan that attacked Temple Israel.
There's only one reason that they're not telling you the name.
There's no possible law enforcement reason to withhold this man's name.
He's dead.
They're withholding his name because, well, let's say there's a very strong suspicion based on their prior conduct that they're withholding his name because it's a Muslim name.
He does come from Dearborn, we found out.
Actually, Dearborn Heights, you told me, Ted, which is not necessarily as Muslim as Dearborn.
Is that correct?
Correct.
I'd have to look at them.
I mean, dear.
Is that his picture?
That's the picture of a potential suspect?
That's, again, we're winning.
And we have to get confirmation of his name.
But the allegation is that he is a Lebanese.
He's from Lebanon, that his family or some of his family was killed by Israelis recently during the attack on Hezbollah.
Remember, oh gosh, 20 years ago, Hezbollah took control of Lebanon and wiped out half the Christian community, pretty close to half the Christian community, or they fled.
And Hezbollah is unlike Hamas and the House that have a different origin.
Iran established Hezbollah as really its forward-leaning army.
And it was their ace in the hole to be able to defeat us, defeat the Israelis.
And the Israelis are decimating them.
And I really do think that B.B. Netanyahu takes any opportunity or opening he has to kill as many members of Hezbollah as he can because he knows that the future survival of Israel rests on eliminating them.
They are as insane in their hatred of Jews as the Iranians.
Many of them are Iranians.
And we'll have to see for sure.
Until you know for sure, you can't be sure.
But if this follows prior conduct, the name is being withheld because it's a Muslim name.
If he were, you know, what, a proud boy or what was the two, the two ISIS killers that did the attack near Gracie Mansion were originally described by a high-level New York Democrat as white Christian nationalists.
It turns out that they were not white Christian nationalists, but they were both Muslim who did it in the name of Allah.
And in fact, one of them was so anxious to make sure that Allah got credit for it that he asked, be given a piece of paper and wrote it out that this was being done in the name of Allah.
The guy in Old Dominion was yelling Allah Akbar as he was getting shot and shooting back.
Remember, that was not enough for Biden, or I'm sorry, Obama to classify the originally the murders at Fort Hood as terrorist murders or as Islamic-inspired terrorist murders.
Here's the tragedy in all of this.
This isn't politics.
This is law enforcement and it's also national security.
If you can't name your enemy, if you either are confused about your enemy or you don't have the courage to name him, You feel you have to euphemistically suck up to him.
You're never going to defeat him.
It'll just go on forever and ever and ever.
We'll get past this, but then it'll just come up again.
So it's about time that we get clear on exactly what we're facing and what this book contains.
The one on which Azo Ron Mamdani took the oath of office.
He took the oath of office on a book that is advising him, telling him and imploring him to kill infidels, but in particular, Christians and Jews.
Oh, not only did it, does it tell him to do it?
That's what Muhammad did.
Did Jesus do that?
I don't.
I recall Jesus saying something like, to love your enemies.
I don't remember him saying, oh, gee, you should kill them.
Well, so the first one we'll cover will be the one in Michigan.
And this, I'm going to have Ted really do this for us.
Do we want to talk to Allison first?
Yeah, let's talk to Allison.
She's sort of ready to go.
Let's talk to Allison.
And then you can get ready to tell us about your home state of Michigan, which had a real tragedy today, real tragedy.
But that's about, given what's happened to Dearborn, Allison, this is bound to happen.
Yeah, I guess sadly, it's not all too shocking, though it is devastating nonetheless.
And you would think it could be avoided here in America.
But given the current state that we're in, given the fact that we have this influx of Muslim population trying to bring their culture here to America and expecting us to assimilate, I guess this is probably going to be the new norm.
So very scary, very sad.
We'll be praying for everyone involved here.
But I don't really have much more to share with you on that front.
What I have been paying attention to today, though, is everything, the shenanigans and madness going on over in Congress.
It just never lets up over there.
It's one thing after another.
But the good news is we finally have some traction on the Save America Act.
John Thune finally stated today on the Senate floor that he is going to bring it to the floor for a vote.
But here's the problem, Mr. Mayor.
Here's the problem: Leader Thune is simply bringing this to the floor for a vote to say that he did it, to say that he is working on behalf of the American people to get this Save America Act passed, knowing darn well that he doesn't have the votes and simultaneously doing this without implementing the talking filibuster.
This has been the demand largely of the American people that want to see this legislation passed is you can't do it without implementing the talking filibuster, you know, bringing the filibuster the way that it was intended to work, just making the opposition state their peace, state their opposition to why they're against this legislation.
They should have to go onto the floor and state why they want illegal aliens voting in American elections.
But John Thune, I guess, doesn't care about that.
He's fine with bringing it to the floor for a vote just to say that he did it.
And then they're going to move on to their next pet project.
This is basically a big loss, a big L, in my opinion, because this bill is virtually dead on arrival in the Senate.
So it's very frustrating, especially when the president is saying this has got to get passed.
The president said he's not going to sign another bill until it is passed.
So I guess they're just content on kicking the can down the road further and further every day with the Save America Act.
Well, it's really going to be, I think, a big, big problem for us going into the midterm elections with this kind of division and also with this confusion about uh, what the voting, what the voting rules are are going to be uh right, the the.
The reality is that, although censorship has decided, you can't say this uh, Democrats have been cheating in elections for about 170 years.
Certainly in New York they have.
I mean yeah boss boss, Tweed was a master of it.
Uh, so it.
It's quite obvious, if you don't want identification, you want to cheat.
I?
I mean, it's not even controversial, 85 of Americans want voter id.
So the fact that you know they're they're okay, the Senate is okay with not trying to actually get this legislation passed is really a betrayal to every single American citizen that just simply wants to ensure our elections are secure.
And what perhaps is even more concerning is is not the fact that the Democrats are opposed to this uh, but the fact that Rhino Republicans are also opposed to this.
Perhaps Rhino Republicans like Lisa Murkowski are benefiting off of rigged elections.
We know she benefited off of ranked choice voting in her state of Alaska uh, but maybe they're also benefiting off of illegals, you know, contributing to their elections because she's vehemently against the Save America Act.
I had the chance to ask her about it just the other day in Congress to take listen to what she had to say there.
Where we stand on the Save America Act, do you uh, you know support getting this legislation passed to protect elections?
I'm not.
As it is drafted now, why not?
The implementation in a rural state like Alaska is going to disenfranchise an extraordinary majority and while I support citizenship voting and voting id, I want to make sure that it is implementable.
I have no responsibility.
Oh I, I thought you were going to say i'm not answering it because i'm not responsive to the people.
I'm a permanent said that.
I'm a permanent senator.
I'm part of the permanent government.
I actually think she's voting against it because she just likes to vote against Trump.
I think that's it too.
I, I do think that actually, and you know, and even if, even if you have this animosity to Trump, you've got to be real.
There's got to be really something wrong with you to oppose identification for voting.
I mean, it's one of those.
It's one of those things that makes you um, sit up at night and say, are they crazy?
Of course you have to identify yourself to vote.
It's actually crazy, but it is crazy.
It is crazy and I will.
So what?
Tell me what you think is gonna?
It's obvious they're not gonna get the 60 votes.
So now what happens?
Right, I think they're gonna, you know, attempt to pretend like they care for the next week, which is when this is set to take place, and then it's not gonna pass, and then they're just gonna move on with whatever pet projects they want to push.
They're really intent on moving forward with this Affordable Housing Act that's spearheaded by Elizabeth Warren.
All the Republicans are really excited to get that one passed, but no one seems to care about the Save America Act.
So, I think, again, it's just going to kick the can further down the road and we're going to have to revisit this and continue to put the pressure on.
This is what's so infuriating about it is that I've been covering this topic at nauseum for the last several months because they can't just get it done.
This legislation has passed the House now three separate times over the course of multiple years.
So, the fact that we've had to wait this long to get common sense legislation passed is ridiculous.
It sounds like we're going to have to wait even longer because now we're hearing that the house, many Republicans in the House, are saying they are not going to take up a single bill that comes from the Senate until they pass the Save America Act.
So, this could lead to a total gridlock, a total shutdown.
Cornyn Joins Trump's Side00:03:26
I don't know.
I don't know.
It sounds like the House is really going to hold firm and resist anything coming in from the Senate until they get it passed.
So, we'll see what happens.
It'll certainly be an interesting road ahead with the Save America Act.
Well, thank you very much.
It's very, very one last thing I wanted to bring to your attention before we close it out here.
While we're talking about rhinos and the fight to destroy America from within, I also had a really great encounter with Senator John Cornyn, who I know is eagerly awaiting an endorsement from President Trump.
I'm just praying President Trump sees this video and makes the right call and endorses Paxton once and for all, because as we know, as you know, Mr. Mayor, Cornyn has just been pivotal in opposing the president's agenda for years and years.
I mean, he might as well be a Democrat, right?
So, I had the opportunity to ask him a question in the hallway, one that I think millions of Americans would love to know the answer to.
And it's so simple: why should President Trump endorse you, John Cornyn, over Ken Paxton when you've been blatantly against the MAGA agenda for years?
Take a listen to what he had to say.
What do you have to say to the Americans who are questioning why President Trump should endorse you when many say that you've been vehemently against his agenda?
Do you speak for all these Americans?
I don't understand.
Yeah, actually, I do.
Many people are asking this question.
Do you have a response?
I mean, you've been pro-borderline, pro-amnesty, red flag laws.
Are you being anti-border?
Are you being paid by the Paxon Paxon campaign?
No, I'm just a concerned American citizen representing millions of other Americans.
No, I think you're a paid influencer because none of that's true, and you know it.
I didn't know you were a paid influencer.
I didn't either.
I would love to see the money.
Where's the money, John Cornyn?
Because I still have yet to be paid for my influencing.
That's about the angriest that he can get.
I think it really isn't much.
I mean, he really should be capable of getting angrier than that.
He's got no fire.
He's got no fire.
He needs to retire, obviously.
His time is up in the Senate.
And I just thought that was so funny at the end where he called me a paid influencer because interestingly enough, we heard that exact term coined at the beginning of this week, not from John Corden, but from John Thune, who said that about any person pushing for the Save America Act to be passed.
John Thune said at the beginning of this week, oh, it's all these paid influencers that want to get the Save America Act passed.
Well, you notice that Cornyn is now on President Trump's side on that.
Yeah, isn't that interesting how that is?
I wonder how that happened.
It must have been reading the Constitution and thinking very deeply about it.
He must have realized he's on the line here.
He's going to lose his race if he doesn't get in line.
So maybe it's a good thing.
I don't know.
We'll see what happens.
Very, very interesting.
Very good job.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Great.
You do a great job.
She does a great job.
Wow.
She really nails these people.
I think if I were back as a U.S. attorney, I'd hire as an assistant U.S. attorney.
She really knows how to nail these people.
We'll take a short break and we'll be we'll be right back.

Rudy Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani Show.
And let's go to what happened today in Michigan.
Ted and Stephen, who are with me today, both come from Michigan, and have a great deal of knowledge about the politics of Michigan and everything else about it.
And also, I think all around the country, there's a great deal of interest in and maybe even fear of what's going on in Dearmoor.
In the sense that I think Allison pointed it out, that the immigration pattern is totally contrary to what America is like, because there's no assimilation.
They're trying to have Sharia law.
They're trying to run it based on principles that are anti-American.
And this is becoming like a model.
So what do you make of what happened at the and Jason?
If we can play some of the B-roll while the mayor is speaking, we have some footage of the incident.
What we know, Mayor, is that at this point, we don't know for sure that he is a Muslim.
We don't.
We don't.
And we don't want to get ahead of things, of course.
And we expect the media to be the last to tell us if it was, in fact, an Islamic extremist.
What we do know is that a man had rammed his explosive-laden truck into Temple Israel, the largest reform synagogue in the United States.
Are we looking at it now?
We're looking at it now.
That is B-roll video.
That is a gigantic, I mean, I've been in many, many temples, and there are obviously some very big ones in New York.
Right.
Now, is that in fact the biggest reform congregation?
That's the largest reform in the U.S. synagogue in the United States.
That's what's being that's what's being claimed.
And I'm sure that, you know, down in Houston and other areas, they'll want to make the same claim.
New York.
New York has the biggest Jewish population, but they have so many.
You think a temple.
Right.
So the most influential, the most, I don't know if it's the most influential, maybe the richest is Temple Emmanuel.
There are a couple of others that might, in fact, be bigger and more influential.
But either way, the Jewish population in Southeast Michigan is robust, and that is why there has been such a heavy response to this.
This is a hit.
Two sources, an individual had rammed his explosive-laden pickup truck into the synagogue.
And what we know, Mayor, from people we've talked to is that this individual had been able to get into the building with his truck, was driving the vehicle down a hallway towards the preschool.
He was inside the facility.
We call it a synagogue, but it's a synagogue, school, offices.
It's a large complex, as you can see from the B-roll footage.
He had made the truck somehow had gotten into the building, right?
Rammed its way in, was going down a hallway when security.
His truck got into the building.
Yes.
So he was actually driving down a hallway of the building.
And was attempting to ignite the vehicle while the truck was driving down the hallway towards the preschool.
And that's when security.
Towards a preschool.
There's a school within this large compound.
You can see now, because of the other pictures, I didn't give you a sense of it, how beautiful.
It's a beautiful building.
It's a beautiful area.
You've been to the area.
Have I seen it?
Have we gone past it?
We didn't, even if we're not.
I know we drove.
You drove by Temple Bethel, which is on Telegraph.
Yeah.
I know I've seen temples in Michigan.
But this is the largest, but it is hidden off.
It's off, right?
There's a long driveway leading up to it, which is part of the security measures.
Now, it's also one of the oldest congregations.
So this has to be a fairly new.
If this congregation goes, if this goes back to the 19th century, that's got to be a pretty new building.
Right.
Oh, well, they're constantly adding and renovating to these buildings.
And actually, they have a lot of services for the youth, the Jewish youth in the area.
And so they are constantly building and expanding.
And one of my friends was the recruiter, you know, for the Jewish youth group.
And it is a robust, like, I can't explain to you how robust this is.
It would be the envy of almost all youth organizations in the country, probably.
You know, obviously New York being the exception.
No, well, you know, I think to find the equivalent of that, not necessarily the size, you'd have to go more to the suburbs of New York.
And I think the thing that's exciting about it, what you're telling me is, and this is a group that attracts young people.
Oh, certainly.
It's not like some of the Jewish communities and Christian communities, kind of old people.
Yeah, well, and it's a place where the family is actually valued too.
And like there are various pockets and communities where you actually can see it almost looks like a better time in history when you go around and there's families with children and strollers and they're working hard and keep the places clean.
Yeah, I mean, there isn't even a debate about that.
If you look at the statistics, a child coming out of a stable family has twice the chance that a child not coming out of that of succeeding.
It doesn't mean that the child coming out of a stable family isn't going to fail.
Some do.
It doesn't mean that a child coming out of a terrible family isn't terribly successful.
That happens too.
But statistically, if you want to depend on statistics, then how is it generally going to work out?
That's how it's generally going to work out.
Yeah.
And when we're in these areas, you know, for different campaign events and things, you see actually one of them, the Franklin Roundup, you see a very positive relationship with law enforcement.
And I think that that might be one of the reasons they do have such a positive relationship with law enforcement that they got, you know, so many police officers and different organizations out.
You know, as you know, I've studied the religion quite a bit, know a lot about it.
Here's something I don't know.
And I have to, and I am now going to take upon myself being a student about this.
Why is it that during either the beginning or the end of Ramadan, we're constantly being warned that there are going to be violent activities.
So Ramadan just ended.
If you saw Mamdani's dinner with that anti-American Jew hater that he brought to city hall, that he brought to my old house and desecrated it.
They were celebrating the end of Ramadan.
So look at all the violence that's going on at the end of Ramadan.
And this goes back to when I was U.S. attorney.
We were always, we don't, the FBI had always put out a warning: it's the end of Ramadan.
There's a good chance there'll be more terrorist activity now.
Well, do you think it could be the hunger that is experienced during the day, as well as you know, because they fast up the Jews fast too, but they didn't go kill anybody?
Yeah, yep.
Well, I guess Christians fast, they don't go kill anybody.
Sure.
And a good fast is actually a healing endeavor.
So I don't want to say that, but you got to wonder.
But it is a lot of hype.
Ramadan is a big hyped holiday, and they get really ready for it.
And when you kind of get that energy growing, I mean, I don't know how bad ideas get worse ideas, and people with good ideas.
I don't know how you can have a holiday based on this book.
I mean, it's filled with all kinds of passages about killing people.
Yeah.
And depending on the time of year, too, sometimes you get more daylight, sometimes you get less.
And actually, it might be interesting to look at some statistics as to which times of year the attacks during Ramadan pick up.
Well, this is a very, very dangerous time that we live in.
The strange thing, however, is that the real warning that we got originally, even during the Biden administration, even though they caused it, is that we are likely to have sleeper cells in the United States because of the four years of anybody being able to come in.
And if anybody can come in, a conniving group like Hezbollah or the Iranians are going to get some of their operatives in here.
And we were teaching, we were surprised, right, that we haven't seen a little bit more of it, right?
These people are radicalized Americans.
Maybe not Americans in the sense, but they don't appear to be people who were brought in just now during the recent influx of people.
These people were already born-bred radicalized here.
We may still have to deal with that.
But here's the thing: I don't think we know, actually, in this case, in the Michigan case, at least, you know, what the whole story is yet, right?
In terms of the identity of the individual.
We have a name, but the name hasn't been confirmed.
We have a general identity of where he came from.
But again, that hasn't been.
But that's not official, right?
And actually, I think that's part of it.
And it could be wrong.
Look how many times the wrong information is given.
Exactly.
And we have seen that.
And we have to be careful.
What we don't have to be careful about is the general inference that you can draw when you put a couple of facts together, right?
It's there's a war going on between Israel and radical Islam, America too.
This is a synagogue and one of the most famous in the country.
And Dearborn is one of the most radicalized communities in America.
Yes.
Islamic radicalized communities in America.
And just the mere idea of being at war, that puts tensions a little bit higher, right?
So people who might be more predisposed to do sort of this sort of act might find a better.
And since they're not assimilated, this will not be like the Italians and the Germans and even the Japanese, who, although they were interred and really were by and large, loyal to the United States.
And own businesses.
And, you know.
I mean, I know it from my own family, but my grandfather, who I only knew somewhat because he died when I was very young, but I'm named for him and he's like a great big figure in my head and all.
My grandfather, when the Second World War broke out, and his group of friends, some of whom would say this is terrible that we have to send our sons to fight against Italy, said that this is a great opportunity to show what we really are now.
That you're in America.
And then he told some of them, why don't you go back?
If you miss it so much, why don't you go back?
Yeah, at that time, I don't know about that.
But my parents were brought up that way, and you can see that that's very much in me.
I mean, I'm an American.
I love, I can't tell you how much I love my heritage of being an Italian, how much I know about it, how much I care about it.
I love, I just think that's what I'm saying.
Well, and coming from New York, but Italy tries to hurt America.
I mean, I'll go kill you.
Exactly.
And coming from New York, you have the backbone of American culture sort of at your doorstep.
Yeah.
And so things that impact New York, you feel significantly and you have a significant amount.
You shouldn't be allowed to come here if you don't love us.
If you're not prepared to give up what you came from and join us.
And by give up, I don't mean you have to give all of it up.
No, because we appreciate the richness of the culture, right?
We're America.
If there's a conflict, you have to give it up.
In other words, you can't have Sharia law.
Sorry.
We're not stoning women here.
I mean, we're just not doing it.
But one of the things that you're doing.
But we'll bring you in jail, damn it.
Bring the food, though.
The food's good.
And, you know, bring your culture in that regard, but don't be violent.
You want to have your own food?
I mean, I guess if you want to wear that stuff over your head, I don't get it.
I just think it's demeaning to women to put that.
I mean, I remember, I'll tell you who, Erdogan, going to dinner with Erdogan years ago.
And Erdogan was taking over Turkey.
And Turkey at that time was a country that looked like it would be a moderate Muslim country.
And all of a sudden, I'm sitting there, all the men around the table.
And they allowed my wife to be with me because she wouldn't have gone.
She sat with me at the table.
And a couple of the American wives sat at the table.
But then on the side, there was like, we used to call it in my family, like the young person's table.
Kids' table.
Yeah, the kids' table.
You didn't have enough room.
And sitting at the kids' table were about five or six women.
They didn't just have like this on.
They had like this.
The full shield.
So the first dish was soup.
FBI Agent Trap Tactics00:11:27
And they're going like this.
Ooh, scandalous.
And I'm saying to myself, this guy's the head of a country.
He got his wife doing this.
Where are we headed?
Back to 650?
You know, in some of those cultures, actually, though, some of the women appreciate the separation, right?
Like they'll have their ability to retreat to their own sort of place.
And it's like a sorority.
When you see the women, and maybe they're selectively chosen, but when you see the women being questioned in Iran, they don't look too happy about having to wear that crap.
Oh, no.
Well, modern women, no.
But I mean, still, it's about freedom, right?
You shouldn't be forced to do that.
I don't think it's anyone's business.
You look at those women on the soccer team.
Oh, yeah.
Ooh, they don't want to wear that crap.
Well, the level of fear, I guess.
Yeah, but how much courage do they have?
Exactly.
Courage is actually a better word than fear.
You know, in different circumstances, not all of them are in the same circumstances, different family situations.
Well, you don't know.
Right.
You don't know what they're putting it, what they're saying.
You have no idea what they're putting at risk, nor do we really accept how vicious and horrible that regime is.
Especially during a time of war.
You can't underestimate that.
Yeah, yeah.
And they are now desperate.
They're at a point of being desperate.
And I've seen a group of videos, but I've hesitated to put them out because I don't know how true they are.
And I'm so worried about these doctored videos.
I was watching one last night where they actually claimed to be showing a revolutionary guard shooting people on the street.
But then I looked at it and I don't know.
I'm hardly an expert on this.
I'll show it to you.
You know it better.
I couldn't tell if this was real or not.
I know what's going on, but I still don't want to put something on that's fictitious.
Exactly.
And that's the lens that we have to view this entire conflict with, right?
Like we've been having an AI revolution right in front of our eyes where we don't know what's real and what's not.
And so I think everything deserves heightened scrutiny during this time of war.
And that's why we've been focusing, at least me and Ted, on government channels, you know, more verified sources, people we actually know.
And actually, that's one of the good things about having our network that you're with.
Yeah, thank God I have Farzine and Ali Reza.
And because they actually, they even warned me about it.
I mean, they were honest enough to say, be careful, because there are things that come out of there that are intended to trap you because the regime is very wily.
Well, and that's with regard to cyber, you know, that's where you can't underestimate the Iranians, right?
Because, you know, they have significant skills.
And nearly every tech company that has to operate has at some point, you know.
That's why if you could straighten the damn country out, what a contribution they could make.
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
90 million people, too.
90 million industrious people who have gone through a lot, who have real grit behind them after dealing with a regime like the one that they have.
I have to make a point because I miss this, Ted.
And I don't know how I missed it because I pay attention to everything Trump, particularly where it has to do with the attempts to kill him.
But our good friend, Miranda Devine, who we've got to get on the show again, and she wants me to go on her show, which I want to do.
You know, I have just unparalleled respect for her.
But she wrote a column, and this actually, I don't think it's the most current one.
It's like one before.
But last week, last week, Asif merchant was convicted in the federal district court in Brooklyn.
And he was convicted, among other things, of plotting with the Iranian government to assassinate President Donald J. Trump.
Do you know that?
Do you know that?
And if you don't know that, you're living in a country where we practice censorship, don't you?
And it's one instance of many.
In violation of our pretense that we believe in free speech.
Now, I did know that, but I'm going to tell you what I didn't know.
And I'm a little embarrassed about this.
He was sent to the U.S. in April 2024 to sow mayhem and murder and tried to recruit mafia members.
Thank goodness there aren't too many left.
I used to always say when the mafia members, because the Iranians still think we have like the big mafia that we used at they never watched the sopranos.
They didn't never watch the Sopranos, which I always took credit for.
Because when Sopranos begins, Tony is driving his car and it says New Jersey.
And every time the show started, and my friends used to get annoyed because I always did the same thing.
I said, I sent them there.
I sent them to New Jersey.
I got them out of New York.
It's like St. Patrick got the snakes out of Ireland.
I got the mafia out of New York.
But in any event, he couldn't get any mafia people.
But he came here.
He had a whole group that they were.
They wanted to kill Biden.
They wanted to kill Nikki Haley because she was very, very tough in the UN against him.
We know they wanted to kill Pompeo.
They wanted to kill Bolton.
And they wanted most of all to kill Donald J. Trump.
And particularly because of Solomania.
It was personal.
And he organized two plots to try to kill Trump, and he was convicted of it.
Five-day trial.
Where, where?
In Brooklyn on Friday.
Now, all that I knew.
Here's what I didn't know.
Merchant, that's the guy convicted, also claimed during his trial that the Iranians were behind the still mysterious assassination attempt on Trump by 20-year-old Thomas Crooks in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Well, how the heck?
The IRGC told him to attend a Republican rally as part of his mission.
And FBI agent Jack Lemon Smith testified that he told her, he told this to the FBI agent, not testifying now at trial or saying it now at trial to make himself big.
But while the investigation was going on, when the FBI agent, I gather, was undercover, he told that the Buffalo attack was the same thing that he was sent here to do.
And he claimed it was part of the overall.
He wasn't the guy to guide it, but this was part of it.
Is this a deposition?
No, no, it's a trial in which he was convicted beyond a reasonable doubt.
And he, no, no, he didn't testify.
These are statements that were obtained undercover on tape.
Oh, okay.
Which actually makes them somewhat more credible.
Well, you know, and if we didn't have such a heavy news load, we would, I'd have written a memo about this already.
But is it just a heavy news load?
This is a man who is convicted of plotting to kill Trump, Bolton, the whole group of them, and this woman who has FBI protection, who I'd love to get on the show, Ted, if we could get her on the show.
Journalist Masa Alinijad.
She was, they came very close to killing her.
Yeah.
I don't think I don't think he was sophisticated enough and enough of a high-level criminal to pull off like a Trump assassination or a Bolton or whatever.
He could have killed her.
And I do think his information has, it can't be disregarded, particularly since it was gathered during an investigation.
When he was talking to that FBI, he had no reason to lie.
Well, and that actually brings us back to this idea of if there are Iranian sleeper cells here and whether or not they have the capability or capacity to perform it.
And I'm getting tired of it.
Everybody who kills an American president or political figure is a lone wolf, crazy nut who just does it because they're a lone wolf, crazy nut, when in fact, there are people spending enormous amounts of money to kill American presidents.
And they're putting furry costumes in their closet up there on the side of track, basically.
No, it seems like it.
That's not what he said.
Apparently, and we have to get it.
I'm going to try to really get the records of this.
There were two separate plots to try to kill Trump back in 24.
More than two.
But we know he was shot at twice.
Yeah.
Which, holy, no, no, he wasn't shot at the second time.
The second time, he wasn't shot at, but he was this close to being shot at.
I only take the closest friends that I can trust and show them that.
I don't want people to understand it.
But Teddy remembered the day it happened, right?
I told you right away the two plays it could be.
I said there were only two plays on that golf course that this could have happened.
And this was one of them.
And when you go look at it, you realize that that was a better opportunity to kill him than Butler.
The guy would have been in the trees.
He'd have been standing no more than a football field away in the open.
He seemed to know, he seemed to know what Trump did on that hole.
So the hole is a par for dog leg that goes this way.
So he had himself situated so Trump has to hit the ball at some point in that in this area.
He has to come in that area.
There's no way he can get to the, there's no way he can get to the green without going through that.
Even if he hit the ball in the water, which he doesn't do, God forbid.
But he has to place it there.
You got to place it.
So this guy had like what would amount, if you think about how much time he takes to play in that area, he had about a five-minute opportunity to get a perfect shot at him.
At multiple different angles, too.
Yeah, yeah.
At him coming out, placing himself over the ball, and becoming a perfect target in comparison to the shot at Butler, which was like that, right?
Or the shot at Charlie Kirk, which we spent time analyzing where you had to go under a.
And we still don't really know enough about that.
But hey, there's a business idea for you.
Team up with some of these golf course designers to design courses that are security first and security forward.
Media Narrative Shifts00:03:44
Yeah.
Right.
Because you are vulnerable, especially, you know, the executive of the United States on the golf.
I worry about him every day.
I do.
And that's why I ask all of you at the end of when I at the end, I don't think I've concluded.
Maybe I forget once in a while, but I don't think I've ever concluded a show without asking you to pray for him.
And I think the more successful he becomes and the more extraordinary the accomplishments that he has in a short period of time, the greater the motive there is because we live in such an evil world.
Big evil world.
So now let's do we have a little we have a little bit more information, Ted, at least with regard to the potential defendant, right?
In the situation at Dominion, right?
Right.
Old Dominion.
At Old Dominion, the gunman is dead.
He had ties to ISIS.
One victim is also dead with two injuries.
The shooter has been identified as former Virginia National Guardsman Mohamed Baylor Jalo.
And this incident is being investigated now as a terrorist.
The suspect wanted to carry out a Fort Hood, Texas style terrorist attack.
He's been well so Fort Hood, Texas, is the one where the guy who was a former military guy, like he is, came in and shot a whole bunch of troops and yelled Ala Akbar, Allah Akbar, Ala Akbar.
And for years, the crooked Biden Obama administration would not declare it a terrorist act because he was on their side, the Al-Akbar side.
Which people in the American government would tell me.
I tried to help some of the family members that wanted to declare the terrorist act.
I wasn't even doing it for political purposes.
I was doing it just to help them.
And I also thought it was insane.
If a guy is shooting you and telling you why he's killing you, you don't fight with his motivation.
Well, that's been the game du jour in the media, right?
When we get these bullet wrappers.
I'm killing you because of Allah.
Oh, yeah.
Imagine if a guy stood up and said, I'm killing you because of Jesus Christ or because of Moses.
The New York Times would probably want him tortured, right?
Right.
He'd be the white Christian nationalist that that Democrat in New York was convinced was the one who was throwing the bombs at he thought they were trying to kill Mamdani.
They were trying to kill the conservative J6 guy, right?
Well, I wonder if all of this and all the revelations of things like this don't help the American people to start moving away from this and to get a better sort of sense of it that they have to be careful, they have to analyze things on their own, they just can't take things for granted.
Losing War Against Democrats00:06:34
Yeah, right.
I mean, I looked at the, I threw it down there, so I'll do it later.
But I looked, I today I looked at a paper copy of the New York Times, which I rarely do anymore.
I look at it online, but when I, when I got up very, very early, when I went out, I came back and downstairs they had a paper copy of the night, and I read it.
It's not even, it's not a newspaper.
It's just like every single column is anti-it's like one big editorial page.
One big editorial page about how terrible Trump is and how we're losing the war.
We're losing the war in Iran, which is completely absurd.
They took out three ships in the Gulf.
We've taken out almost their entire FN Navy.
It's ridiculous.
Or God forbid you look at the casualties.
I mean, they're getting it's, but you read these cops.
Well, every spin, every headline is basically designed to spin, you know, one way or the other, right?
It's, I think, I think four to five days a week, you might have an entire front page.
It's anti- It looks like, actually, you know what?
It's like a political operation briefing memo for the Democrats, or I guess communists, or whoever the hell, whoever the hell they're actually representing.
So what's going to happen in Texas, boys and girls?
What's the president going to do?
Well, it depends on how Cornyn behaves in the next well.
I think he's going to be a good boy.
I don't know.
I think my advice would almost be either to stay out of it or unless you're going to get something real good out of the Senate and Cornyn, you know, I wouldn't dabble.
I think he wants, you know, he wants to pick, he wants to be involved with the winner.
He wants to pick the winner.
And Cornyn did get the plurality during the primary.
It's a race.
And Paxton's popular.
It is a race.
Cornyn spent a lot more money than Paxton.
That's what Paxton's people are arguing.
Is Cornyn capable now of raising more money than Paxton?
You mean Cornyn's been has raised more money.
I know against Paxton, but now it's a little different.
Now he's running against Tallarico.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, the Republican Party of Texas, right?
They'll come in big.
Corny's been there for a while, so he's got the donor network.
He's going to have the help of the NRSC, which we know is.
But it could still be.
It was 49-48, Ted.
It wasn't exactly like all that positive.
I mean, you're right, but everybody tells us, right, all the conservatives that have been telling us Paxon, Paxton, Paxton.
Corny is in trouble.
Paxton, Paxon, Paxton.
And so even with all the, you know, from grassroots, Mauda, America First.
Even with all those attacks against Cornyn, right, Cornyn still won.
And he was behind until the end in the polls.
Right.
So he outperformed the polls.
Right.
Paxton had all the quote-unquote momentum.
Like you said, the firebrand influencers behind him.
And I'm not criticizing them.
I understand people's concerns with Cornyn.
But the reality is Cornyn's, you know, the name ID factor.
But one thing, one thing that we have to remember, too.
So you think he has a better chance of beating Tall Rico?
I do.
Isn't Tallow Rico just there for the just destroying him?
Right.
Well, I think that this isn't a race that we're going to, you know, knock on wood, right?
We're going to, this is a race that we're going to win, hopefully.
We're going to win the New York.
Texas people are not as brainwashed as me.
The Democrats would have to be.
Tall Rico's right.
He's right, right.
What he's going to do is suck up a bunch of money from the Democrat donor machine, which they could use elsewhere because the Democrats have this pie-in-the-sky idea, and they've had it for a while now, that somehow they can win Texas.
And I know, I guess Cruz had a tight, tight race recently, right?
We'll end with, you know, we got to talk about the Hispanic vote if we're going to go there.
But one thing before we get off of Cornyn.
I'm going to get a lot of that.
One thing before we get off of Cornyn and Paxton, I think that this institutional, you know, machine money that we're going to, that like we would expect to see go behind Cornyn, we shouldn't underestimate the level of support that Paxton has among that faction, being the former attorney general of the state of Texas, powerful, powerful.
He's the more enthusiastic.
I think he still is Attorney General, right?
Yeah.
And well, and well, if that's the case, it's been a long time.
But Paxton, Attorney General.
And you make a lot of friends.
You make a lot of institutional friends as the Attorney General of Texas.
So I wouldn't say that everyone's just going to jump in bed with Cornyn right off the bat because they do have prior relationships.
What are they going to do?
Vote for the Democrat?
No, no, no, no.
They're just going to stay out of the primary.
Oh, well, we're now in a runoff.
And the idea is that we don't want to wait.
We don't want for both candidates, right?
We're eating up money.
I mean, think of all the money that was spent between the three.
And we'll carry on this conversation next.
Well, we're going to carry on the conversation if you come over to X and we're going to take a good look at the war and where it is and have someone on that can give you information that you don't get, which is What are the Iranian people doing?
Are they in fact engaging?
And the reality is they are.
Question is at how high a level and how effectively, but they are engaging.
It's not as if they're just sitting back.
I mean, they are attacking the IRGC and engaging them, and they are losing lives and they're taking lives for some reason not covered, but maybe because we don't have good sources inside, I don't know.
But you go over to X, we'll continue, we'll be back tomorrow night.
And again, pray for people that are in harm's way and also pray for our president so he has the wisdom and the strength to deliver freedom because that's what's at stake here.
