America's Mayor Live (898): Full Coverage of NASA's Artemis II Rocket Launch to the Moon
Rudy Giuliani and Mayor Eric Adams cover NASA's Artemis II launch, celebrating the historic return to the moon with a diverse crew including Victor Glover and Christina Koch while warning against Chinese space militarization. They debate the 14th Amendment's birthright citizenship clause regarding allegiance versus criminal jurisdiction, discuss Passover's biblical origins, and condemn Iran's execution of four MEK members as war crimes. The conversation also addresses Jerusalem access controversies, anti-Semitic campus groups, and calls for accountability in the Middle East conflict. [Automatically generated summary]
This is an early edition of both America's Mayor Live and the Rudy Giuliani show, which will be on Lindell TV starting at 7.
And of course, America's Mayor Live is always on at 8, but we're not going to miss history, are we, Ted?
Absolutely.
Now, this brings me back.
I mean, many of you probably weren't alive when the last mission took place to the moon, which was, let me get exactly.
1972, I was a second year assistant U.S. attorney at the time in the Southern District of New York.
I believe I was either living in Queens or I had just moved to the west side of Manhattan.
And this was one of the most exciting things that had happened.
It was a culmination of President Kennedy's promise to take us to the moon.
And when it happened in the summer of 1972, It was to a united United States.
There wasn't a person in the United States except the communists who were quieter then, but still there, who were opposed to this.
It was an enormous defeat for the Soviet Union.
And then we, the first time, that was the first time that humans had traveled to the moon.
And the situation had been that at a lot of part of the Eisenhower administration, The Soviets beat us into space.
And to the consternation of both Eisenhower and Kennedy.
And Kennedy promised, well, maybe they did that.
We're going to beat them to the moon and we're going to beat them to outer space.
Well, we beat them to outer space with John Glenn, later a great United States senator and candidate for president.
And then, of course, this was historic.
One small step for man and one great leap for mankind was Neil Armstrong's words that will live forever, as will that mission.
And we are now about to revive it with the spirit of another great president, maybe the greatest, Donald Trump.
This fell into.
Copy that.
I'll put it in work.
I don't know what you would call it.
We got to the moon.
We thought that was it.
And since then, NASA has been participating in lower space voyages and the space station and things that have been enormously valuable.
You know, the byproducts of what NASA did.
I mean, we'll do that in a separate show, but they've saved lives, made your life easier, helped to create freedom.
There probably isn't a.
There probably isn't a.
Just define broadly an organization or an effort that has brought more good to the world than the NASA program.
And I'm not just talking about the exploration of space and the understanding of space.
I'm talking about the byproducts of it, which have been enormous, including saving a lot of people, saving a lot of lives from cancer.
And the byproducts are amazing.
And to have rejuvenated it means we're going to rejuvenate a creation of those byproducts.
Of course, this also has something to do with the idea that both the Chinese and the Russians have made very clear signals that they want to dominate space and militarize it.
And the only thing that's going to stop that is us, right?
You think those European countries that can't even figure out how to help us get the Strait of Hormuz open are going to get us to space?
Or are we going to look at a world in which we're going to be dominated by the communists in space?
Well, you need a great president to set a great goal, and he did that in his first administration.
And this is not.
So let's get clear on exactly what this is.
This is Artemis 2.
There's already been one Artemis flight to check it out, but it didn't go anywhere near the moon.
So now this one, with four crew members aboard, will really be both a test flight and an actual mission.
The test flight is to make sure that all of these systems that have been built work.
The mission is to get to the far side of the moon, which we have not explored anywhere near as thoroughly, if at all.
As the front side of the moon, and to take pictures of it and to do tests with it so that we can understand what can be done with it and can we land there and what would happen.
It's also going to help us in being able to find out what's available to us on the moon.
We talk about these rare earth minerals and everything else.
Who knows?
They could be right there in space, ready for all of us.
This is a 10 day mission.
And once that's completed, meaning in 10 days, they're going to be splashing back into the Pacific Ocean.
And here are the four.
How far away from launch are we, Ted?
We're going to go straight to launch when that happens.
And you know, it would not.
Now, Tima is 10 minutes and holding.
So once it gets to the end of the day, I thought we were almost ready to launch.
Yeah, well, they hold that 10 minutes, and the window is between now 6 24 until 8 24.
So let's see if we can explain that.
Right now, we're on hold.
And theoretically, it's a 10 minute hold, meaning once it resumes, it's 10 minutes.
When they resume it, there'll be 10 minutes more to go to taking off.
They're going to resume it with some time, assuming everything's right, within the next hour.
Next two hours or so.
Two hours at 8 24?
Up until 8 24.
Okay.
So we have a two hour window in which this flight could take off.
Right.
So we're going to stay on.
We're going to stay on with you.
And we can go live if we want to listen in for a little bit.
And yeah, let's listen in to a little of what they're saying.
And this way we'll catch up as well.
And then we'll give you a background.
And that begins terminal count.
Our new T0 is 6 35 p.m. Eastern Time.
6 35 p.m. Eastern Time.
We are now counting down to liftoff of Artemis 2.
From now on, you're going to hear two voices on the loops.
If everything goes nominally, NASA Test Director Jeff Spaulding, who's directly managing the launch team, and Alex Mandela.
Grace, you want to see the rocket take off?
Countdown has to be done.
I'll put you over here.
You can tell it has to be done there.
We are nine minutes to launch.
The countdown.
The rocket's getting ready.
Nine minutes.
A lot of people ask about whether there's a launch button.
There certainly is.
905, 904, 903.
Four human beings on me.
2235, 12.
Gonna go up to heaven.
Heard confirmation of the exact T zero six thirty five and twelve seconds PM Eastern Time.
Again, our T zero is six thirty five and twelve seconds PM Eastern Time.
Oh, really?
But as I was saying, there's no watch button.
This is autonomous, but there is a button that keeps you from launching, and that button allows the GLS operator to pause the countdown outside of terminal count and during terminal count and submit a hold to the next holding point.
So the clock won't stop right away.
Wow, you will go to the next stable holding point.
This is how GLS configures the rocket and ground systems to a stable point where they can stop the countdown if that's needed.
But right now, we are counting down.
Our next big milestone looking to retract the crew access arm.
GLS's go for crew access arm retract.
And there you see the crew access arm moving away.
That's the path that the astronauts took to ingress into the rocket.
Until this point, that was their way off the pad if they needed to evacuate.
But now, with that arm retracting, the backup transitions to a launch abort system, and they'll begin arming that shortly.
Of course, the launch abort system.
Great shot there of the crew access arm retracting away.
The launch abort system is the tower at the top, and that's what would pull Orion and its crew off the top of the rocket in case of an emergency, whether it's on the ground or in flight.
This is critical safety hardware that protects the lives of the astronauts.
Starting at T minus six minutes, the GLS will start bringing that and other high energy systems online, starting with core stage pressurization.
Weather is ninety per cent go.
The range is go.
All systems are go.
GLS is go for core stage tank pressurization.
That means the replenish valve for the liquid hydrogen tank has now closed, and that tank is beginning to be.
We're going to just talk for a few minutes to get you ready for this.
I'm sure you know, having seen this before.
That at the very top there, that little tip is the launch abort system.
Not going to be gone pretty soon.
And the service module, crew module, is right below that.
Right, right.
See that?
Right.
That's where they are.
Right below.
Here, look at my pen.
I tried to make it like a.
Can you show this, Dad?
Is it on the screen?
Okay, well, in any event, here it is.
Now, this.
The module's right here.
It's going to go.
And the module's right here.
Look what's behind it here the Orion, the spacecraft adapter.
Behind it, the Orion stage adapter, engine, and then the booster rocket.
I'm hearing that there might be a delay, Ted.
So, there you see right at the top the launch abort system, the crew module, the service module, which they can get into for it's like your basement, the spacecraft adapter.
The Orion stage adapter, the interim cryogenic propulsion stage that drives it up, the actual engine, the RL 10 engine, the core stage of the rocket, and the booster stage of the rocket at the very bottom.
So now it's all going to be activated very shortly.
So let's go back.
There's only four minutes to go.
The experts.
High speed turbines which provide pressure to hydraulic pumps that steer the RS 25 engines.
We're going to see a gimbal test a little later at T minus 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
This is what allows that to happen.
Coming up in about 20 seconds, we're listening for GO for Purge Sequence 4.
That's a helium purge of the four core stage engines downstream of the propellant valve.
This gets all the air and moisture out of there.
GLS would go for purge sequence four.
Moving through the milestones.
All is looking good.
Coming up in just a few seconds, we're going to get that thrust vector control actuator test.
This is a gimbling of the engines.
There are the four RS 25s, three of them shuttle heritage, one of them built from shuttle parts.
And there you see them moving.
Now we're going to start moving the power.
From both the upper stage and the lower stage of the rocket to internal, taking ground power away and now going to battery power.
GLS's go for upper stage to internal power.
Our power is removed from the rocket's upper stage, the ICPS, and it's been switched to battery.
Same milestone for the lower core stage coming up at T minus 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Thruster Integrity Check00:09:56
Right now, The four person Artemis II crew is 248,000 miles away from the moon.
And if all goes well, they will fly by it in six days.
Just go for core stage to internal power.
All right, there's the rocket's core stage, which houses three flight computers, is now on its own power.
There's no more hold time because there's no more margin on these batteries.
So, we would have to recycle back to T-10 to recharge if we had a hold.
Right now, the rocket does not know what the T-0 is, but coming up at T-33 seconds, control shifts from the ground launch sequencer to the rocket.
Onboard autonomous launch sequencer or ALS.
The rocket will count itself down but honor any holds that could come from the ground.
Now, shortly after liftoff, Houston will take control of the rocket and my colleague Gary Jordan will take over commentary.
GLS, go for ALS.
Great call out.
The rocket is on its own.
Four brave explorers ready to ride the most powerful rocket NASA has ever.
Launched.
Sound suppression water is flowing.
And here we go.
10, 9, 8, 7.
RS 25 engines lit. 4, 3, 2, 1.
Booster ignition.
And lift off.
The crew of Artemis 2 now bound for the moon.
Humanity's next great voyage begins.
Good roll pitch.
Roger, roll pitch.
Houston now controlling the flight of Integrity on the Artemis 2 mission around the moon.

Mission to last time, passing one minute, approaching Max Cube on.
Stan, we have you loud and clear on Ponce Leon.
Have you the same.
Communication signal transfer confirmed as Integrity and its crew go supersonic.
Approaching 90 seconds into the Artemis 2 mission.
Integrity is 14 miles in altitude, 8 miles downrange, traveling more than 2,600 miles per hour.
1 minute 50 seconds of mission elapsed time.
Standing by for main engine throttle down to 85% ahead of solid rocket booster separation expected at the 2 minute 9 second mark.
2 minutes 45 seconds of mission elapsed time into the Artemis 2 mission.
Thrusters on Integrity and upper stage confirmed in a ready state, ahead of service module fairing separation.
Three minutes into the flight, integrity 49 miles in altitude, 78 miles downrange, now passing 5,000 miles per hour.
Standing by for launch abort system jettison.
Houston Integrity, good last jettison, great view.
Copy jettison, Team Eco 8 plus 02.
We see you safe on board, Stan.
And Houston has you loud and clear on Tedris at the common line.
Outstanding, Stan.
We have you the same.
Three minutes fifty seconds into the flight of Artemis Two, Wiseman, Glover, Cook, and Hansen crossed the boundary to space with good comm checks.
GPS signals acquired after last jettison now working on internal checks to verify accuracy.
Flight Dynamics officer analyzed the time of main engine cutoff, confirmed at 8 minutes 2 seconds, time of MECO.
Integrity GPS processing.
Outstanding, Stan.
We see the same, and we have a beautiful moonrise.
We're headed right at it.
Approaching five minutes into the flight, Commander Reed Wiseman confirms he has visuals of his destination.
GPS guidance, navigation, and control software finishes internal checks and sends to navigation channels.
Integrity, three engine press.
Three engine press.
On time, now passing 5 minutes 20 seconds of mission elapsed time into the Artemis 2 mission.
At this point, three good main engines are all that's needed to carry Integrity to a nominal main engine cutoff target.
Though at this time, we're seeing four good engines here in Mission Control Houston.
Integrity, 75 miles in altitude, 330 miles downrange, approaching 10,000 miles per hour.
Integrity looking good at six minutes.
Same on board, Stan.
Good trajectory and engine performance.
Booster officer will soon report the shutdown plan to flight director Judd Friedling, expected at the seven minute mark.
Integrity, 78 miles in altitude.
460 miles downrange.
Integrity, expect nominal shutdown.
Integrity copies nominal shutdown.
Six minutes 40 seconds of mission elapsed time.
Shutdown plan is as expected.
Again, the time of MECO was confirmed at eight minutes two seconds into the flight.
Seven minutes of mission elapsed time.
Throttling down as we approach the Abort once around option milestone at the 7 minute 30 second mark.
Now 84 miles in altitude, 650 miles downrange, traveling more than 15,000 miles per hour.
Integrity AOA open.
AOA open.
The window is now open for an abort once around option that would target splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
Still following nominal ascent at this time.
Welcome back.
We are now, how many minutes into this?
About eight minutes into this.
Moon Orbit Approach00:13:19
I think very, very soon another rocket's going to break off.
But this is what it looked like.
I don't know if you can see this.
I used this for my four and a half year old granddaughter, Grace, who's watching it very intently.
And she thought it was a good, because we have it in back of us, she thought this was a pretty good replica, right, Grace?
This was pretty good.
It looked pretty much like it.
So when it took off, it took off like this, right?
But you see those two?
They broke away.
And I'm pretty sure this one has broke away too.
And now it's going up.
Eventually, a lot of this will break away because this is also a booster rocket.
And all that will be left are, in essence, two capsules.
Two capsules the integrity and the backup capsule, which contains really a storage capsule and also the emergency capsule.
If, God forbid, something happens to the one in front.
And then behind it, you can see the red, behind it are the rockets that will eventually really be its propulsion for most of its mission.
And when it comes back to Earth, you'll see it's just a little tip, rather small.
The capsule, which is the size of a van, is that what she said?
The size of a van.
The other capsule, which is approximately the same size, a little smaller.
And then the powerful rockets right behind it.
They're going to go.
The spacecraft itself is the Orion spacecraft.
The Space Launch System was built by NASA with a lot of help from SpaceX and Abu Origin.
The spacecraft itself is an Orion spacecraft.
And it's going to be a 10 day flight.
It's going to go 4,000 plus miles beyond the moon.
There's manual control of this spacecraft, communications to Earth.
Heat shield performance and re entry up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
In other words, they're going, this system could fly into something that is burning at 4,000 to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
And that test is a test to determine how far it can go and what it might have to encounter on the backside of the moon.
And then, of course, we have, and further, Mars, and further.
And I think we introduced the crew at the beginning.
I hope we did, because these are the real heroes here, as well as every one of those people on the ground.
These are remarkable Americans and Canadians.
Reed Weissman is the commander.
Victor Glover is the pilot.
Christina Koch is the mission specialist.
And Jeremy Hansen, who is Canadian, and he is the first Canadian to go to the moon and the first non-American.
In the case of Victor Glover, he's the first black person that there was one schedule for a mission that I think was aborted.
I'll get you his name, but he was a mentor to Victor.
Christina Koch is the first woman to go to the moon.
So there are a lot of firsts.
I think there'll be even more as we move along.
And these are four names that have now been injected into history at a very, very high level.
The launch was from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, named appropriately for the president who started this.
Hopefully, there'll be one named for the president who revived it.
They will, there's going to be, the return is in 10 days at enormously high speed, and the splashdown, we're all going to be holding our breath.
This is the most powerful rocket that's ever been built by NASA.
And we think, I don't know if any military rockets are more powerful than this.
I doubt it.
So this may be the most powerful rocket ever activated.
And the Orion part of it is the crew, is both capsules, the crew capsule and the service capsule.
Originally, this was targeted for earlier in the decade, and difficulties emerged, as you might imagine.
So the schedule was reorganized about a year, a year and a half ago.
And this was scheduled as a 2025 2026 window.
And the window was until June.
So it's happening right in the middle of that.
So it was delayed from 2025, but it seems to have happened just on target here in 2026, which means that right now they're on schedule for Artemis 3 and then 4 and 5.
Artemis 3 will be another mission doing further testing, which should happen in 2027 or early, hopefully early 2027.
And then Artemis 4 and 5.
Are two attempts to get to the backside of the moon in 2028 to complete President Trump's promise of getting us back to the moon and getting us to parts of the moon we've never been to.
Now, should that not happen, I mean, it would be no different than the Kennedy promise really was fulfilled in the Nixon administration, if I'm not mistaken.
They said 1968, 69, 70, something like that.
We'll check to be absolutely sure.
This will be the furthest that humans have gone into space, so it's quite a test.
It's quite a test of what conditions and problems exist when you go that far on human beings.
It has to work flawlessly for 10 days.
Any problem, any issue.
Well, I can't say that any issue would delay the schedule for the next Artemis and then eventually for.
The four and five are the ones that are intended to actually land on the backside of the moon.
And this SLS launch system is the most powerful ever, but it is described as not yet routine.
I think it's only been launched one or two other times.
What does that mean?
That means there could be hidden problems, but we hope and pray that that's not the case.
I've lived through the tragedies that occurred in space and they're very, very hard and very, very difficult.
This is considered to be not only preliminary to reaching the moon again and again the backside of the moon, part of the moon we've never landed on, but this is also considered very much as part of the program of getting to Mars and it builds experience for multi-week.
Missions which we, which going that far, we don't have, and um, the part the partnerships here were directly with Canada and although not listed with European countries, we'll try to find out which ones partnered and helped with it, particularly since they don't seem to help with anything else.
Maybe they can get a little credit for that.
So, this is this is considered like a bridge to Artemis III.
So, first, this one has to prove that everything works with humans.
Artemis III has to fulfill a few other objectives, but mainly show that it can be sustained another time.
Whereas the landing part, they'll get close to the moon, but they won't land on the moon.
And I don't even think they'll technically be within the moon's orbit.
They'll be able to observe it, they'll be able to see it.
And they'll get very close to the moon's orbit.
But they're not going to go right down and land.
The next Artemis, which is roughly a year from now, will go a little further, but really replicate this to make sure that we weren't lucky with just one flight.
There's no luck involved with NASA.
And the differences with Apollo missions, of course, that are the stuff of history now are...
That the technology there was all analog.
Of course, now the technology is all digital, which means it's light years faster.
The crew diversity, it was all male and all American.
This is diverse and international.
The mission goal, which was race to the moon, the goal now is to go beyond the moon.
And what's the purpose is really to prepare for long term lunar presence.
I mean, there are people like the president who is a great, great pioneer.
Who see the day in which there'll be human colonizing of the moon?
And since right now there don't appear to be any people there, we won't get it, we won't get, we won't eventually in history be unfairly defamed by the people who try to do it, the Christopher Columbus and the people who came to America as if America really was owned by anyone or settled by anyone.
Well, that's a different story, right?
So the whole purpose of this is to prove it works with humans and that it can sustain all of the tremendous pressures that happen when you go this deep into space with such a powerful propellant.
This is all for the purpose of humans being back on the moon after a delay of 50 years.
That's what it will be when we eventually get there.
So you just watched the beginning of history, the beginning of a new chapter in history.
And this is probably a third or fourth or fifth chapter of maybe one of the greatest books written by Americans.
Our exploration of space.
And as I said earlier, and there'll be so much on this over the next year, what comes out of this for the good of mankind, humankind.
Oh, fabulous.
So we're going to take a short break now as we get ready for our show on Lindell TV and also on X.
So you just stay on X and we'll be back very, very shortly.
Or you can go to Lindell TV.
We'll be back very shortly.
God bless America.

Passover Seder Traditions00:18:08
Good evening.
This is Rudy Giuliani.
This is The Rudy Giuliani Show on Lindell TV.
If you have been watching, we were on X since about 6 30, watching the launch of Artemis 2, which has gone off very successfully, thank God.
And we will be going back.
We'll be going back periodically to it as we cover the many, many items and stories that exist today that we want to make sure you're ready for.
And then, of course, this is quite an exciting and quite a full evening.
At nine o'clock, thereabouts, the President of the United States is going to make an address.
Now, the address was said to be about the war with Iran.
But I'm sure he's going to also address this historic launch where, I mean, he's really the first president since John Kennedy to have this extraordinary dedication to pushing us forward in space.
And it's really unfortunate that we took all those years off, not just because of the fact that, you know, we could have learned a lot more about space in that 40 plus years, but the byproducts.
That came from the effort to go to the moon initiated by John Kennedy were maybe as important, if not more important, than actually getting to the moon, which politically and now scientifically was very important.
But all the things that were developed that have helped to improve human life, improve human learning, cure diseases, save lives, it's so extraordinary that it's impossible really to count.
And there's no reason to believe.
That resuming that great quest, you know, the impossible dream, is going to do the same thing.
It's also going to lift the morale of Americans who, right at this point, and I'm sure this will change, and because the press wants to, unlike back in the 60s and 70s, the press wants to do everything it can to beat down America.
I don't know why.
You have articles that people really aren't interested in, and there's no real enthusiasm.
And well, I don't know who those people are that don't have enthusiasm for going back to the moon and the backside of the moon and get to Mars.
Very, very, uh, probably communists who know that America will get there first, and maybe just a bunch of ignorant people, uh, or people have been brainwashed and um, spend maybe they're part of the group that spend too much time in front of their screens and not enough time accomplishing anything.
Uh, maybe we'll increase the number of people.
Who get the hell off their screens and start accomplishing things.
Well, today, tonight.
Is a Passover.
This is probably one of the oldest, if not the oldest, continually celebrated worldwide religious holiday ever.
And it is a testament to the strengths of the Jewish people.
It's also a testament to what can happen when you put together a group of people under an umbrella of.
Worshipping God.
I am in the process of reading through the Bible this year, all of it.
Several weeks ago, I did the whole book of Genesis and Exodus and Leviticus.
I'm on numbers right now.
So I've just been through the story of the Passover in the Holy Bible right here.
The most successful bestseller in the history of the world Old Testament, New Testament.
And I use the Catholic version, of course, because I'm Roman Catholic, and also because they have more books of the Old Testament than the Protestant version.
And depending on the Hebrew version you use, they have even more books that are recognized, but somehow not recognized.
In any event, this is the Bible I grew up with, and it's the one I'm the most familiar with.
It just takes a lot longer to read because there are a lot of additional books.
The story that is behind this great feast is really told in Exodus.
But there are scholars who have found and believe that the first Passover is actually in Genesis chapter 18.
And that's where Abraham and Sarah were visited by angels who informed them that although Sarah was old and Abraham was very old, right, they're going to bear a son one year later.
And tradition records that the visit and then Isaac's birth was on Passover.
Now, how do they determine that it's Passover?
And I will tell you, this is not universally agreed.
Although I don't see why you want to fight over it.
Believe me, the fighting over every word of the Bible is hilarious.
And not just between the rabbis, but the ministers and the priests and the monks and the, oh, wow.
Now, it's not stated explicitly, but you will note that Abraham instructs Sarah after it is found out that they're going to be blessed with a son that turns out to be Isaac, right?
To need some cakes, ugat, for him, and their guests, which means they're going to have a feast to celebrate.
Now, this is the same term that's used regarding the Passover matzah that their descendants would eat every year on Passover.
Thus, for many, the conclusion is that this was really the first Passover.
Here's the matzah.
Let's take a big one that I haven't chewed on already, a pristine one.
I love Matsa, by the way.
A lot of people don't.
I do.
Isaac's descendants, by the time, you know, were then known as the people of Israel.
And they eventually, as you know, ended up in Egypt, where they were enslaved.
The idea that slavery began in America is the most absurd, woke, anti-American bit of propaganda ever created just to hurt America.
And by the way, it didn't start in Egypt either.
It goes way back.
And God commanded Moses and Aaron to go to the Pharaoh and demand the release of his people, the people of Israel.
And each time that Pharaoh refused, he brought down a plague on them blood, frogs, lice, 10 plagues in all.
The final one was, of course, the one that leads to the story of Passover.
And the final plague was the death of the firstborn children of Egypt.
And he had Moses and Aaron go to Pharaoh and demand. that his people be released and told that the firstborn sons would be killed if that didn't happen.
And then God instructed Moses and Aaron to prepare the people of Israel and tell them to bring a sheep to their home.
And on the night that he was about to have the angel of death accomplish the fulfillment of the threat that he made to the Pharaoh, the Israelites were told to slaughter the lambs.
Eat them that night, not leave them for the next day.
In fact, what's left for the next day should be burned.
And to eat them with unleavened bread, which is what this is, with unleavened bread and with herbs, maror.
And then they were instructed to take the blood that, of course, comes from the lamb and to smear it on their doorposts.
And that would be a sign to God and to the angel of death that this was the home of an Israelite and it should be passed over.
And when death was visited upon the firstborn in other homes, the people of Israel were spared that conclusion.
At the same time, God instructed them in very, very powerful language that Passover, and he called it a statute, a law.
However, you want to interpret it.
He enacted a law, decreed a law.
What was the law?
That Passover should be celebrated every year on the anniversary of their exodus from Egypt.
On the first full moon of the first month of spring, which in those days was called Abib.
Now, at various times, that has changed.
Due to circumstances, which we'll mention a few, but the others, you know, this is a great story to read, and it goes, it finds itself all throughout the Old Testament.
I mean, Passover was one of, if not the most significant event in the lives of the Hebrew people, and one of God's initial signs and most powerful sign that they were the chosen people.
Something that some Jewish scholars have tried to de emphasize because they believe that that has created some of the hatred of the Jewish people.
People um I, I can't dispute that that's, that's the case.
I think that's unfortunate because it's the word of God in the bible.
Um and I and I don't.
I, I think the more you try to avoid it, the more you emphasize.
But in any event um he he, he passed a law requiring them to to um to celebrate every year the first full moon of the first month of spring.
The entire story, although it goes beyond just the book of Exodus, is described as the Exodus.
But it finds itself played out in Exodus and in Leviticus and Numbers and Deuteronomy until finally the death of Moses.
And their ability to go to the promised land, which was delayed by 30, by 30 years.
A year after exodus, God instructed the people of Israel to bring the Passover offering on the afternoon of the 14th of Nisan and to eat it that evening, roasted over the fire, together with matzah and bitter herbs, as they had done the previous year before they left Egypt, but this was done in the Sinai desert.
There were, however, certain persons who had become ritually impure through contact with a dead body and could not, therefore prepare the Passover on that day.
They approached Moses and Aaron and they said, and this is in Numbers 9 6 to 7, why should we be deprived and not be able to present God's offering in its time amongst the children of Israel?
In response to their plea, God instructed Moses and Aaron to set up a second Passover.
On the 14th day of Lyre, another month, a little later on, as a second Passover.
It's called Pesach Sheni for anyone who was unable to bring the offering at its appointed time in the previous month.
So I don't know how often there were two official Passovers, but at the time of the second Passover, God gave them a pass for a second Passover.
Now, another significant Passover is the first one in the Promised Land when they went into Canaan.
After being delayed by 40 years because of their unfaithfulness, right?
And Moses, as you know, although he brought them to the promised land, never entered the promised land.
He died five weeks before the Passover on the seventh day of Adar.
And according to the book of Joshua, when they got into the promised land and Passover was.
Fast upon them, Joshua organized the circumcision of all the Israelite males, something that they hadn't been able to do when they were exiled in the desert.
So that must have been quite a preparation for the Passover, where the entire male contingent of Israelites who hadn't been circumcised, born in the 40 year period of exile, hadn't been circumcised.
A lot of business for the Moyles and a lot of screaming and yelling going on.
But the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal.
And they made a Passover sacrifice on the 14th day of the month at the evening in the plains of Jericho.
And that's in Joshua 5 10.
And then throughout the Old Testament, there are references to Passover celebrations with King Hezekiah, who revived it, King Josiah.
The Passover that was celebrated in the second.
Temple and the celebrations continued in the second Temple for 400 years until at about 70 AD.
The temple was destroyed by the Romans and that's where the wailing wall is that you often, if you've gone to Israel, where you've gone and placed a request of God, you put it in the wall, or you see on television all the time.
That wailing wall was the wall of the second Temple And very observant Jews will point out that their celebration of Passover is incomplete because they've been unable to celebrate it without the sacrifice of the Passover lamb in the temple.
They go through the required prayers and recitation in the Haggadah.
I think it's called the Haggadah.
of the story that I just told you in brief outline.
They eat matzah and herbs.
They have four celebratory cups of wine during the meal and they read the Haggadah, which again is the biblical story of the delivery from Egypt.
So let's begin with a little unleavened bread.
And have a blessed Passover.
We'll have our second class of wine when we go to X at eight, Ted.
And then we'll have one in the middle, and then we'll have one at the end.
By the time we're finished, I'll be ready for bed.
Now, what would happen at a Passover Seder now, if you've never been to one, is the Haggadah would be read usually by the senior person, the grandfather, the father, the rabbi.
Global Situation Update00:08:00
But there's great participation in it, particularly from the children.
And then various rituals and ritual eating of different foods and really fast.
If you haven't been to one, ask a Jewish friend to invite you to one.
So, Allison Steinberg is with us.
We'll move on to our story of the fascinating argument in the Supreme Court today, of which I listened to a good deal of it.
Allison, tell us your analysis of it, what you think and what you heard, and sort of your prediction.
The world is a very important part of the world.
And The only thing that I've ever heard is that I've never heard of the people who are not in the public interest.
In the public interest, The
next step is to take a look at the situation in the world.
And the situation in the world is that there is a lack of confidence.
The world is a world of the world, and the world is a world of the world, and the world is a world of the world, and the world of the world, and the world of the world, and the world of the world, and the world, and There.
The world is a very important part of the world.
And The world is a world of the world, and the world is a world of the world.
The world is a very important part of the world.
Bunch of
freaks.
Yeah, we're not.
world is a very important part of the world.
And Okay.
What a bunch of freaks!
Yeah, I mean, we're not.
Yeah, no, this is good.
Well, Jay, yeah, keep going, Jay, and we're live on Twitter.
Well, did you just pick them out, or is that a fair representation of the morons who are outside of the court?
I know, I've seen them.
Supreme Court Jurisdiction00:06:11
I used to live right across from the Supreme Court during the Reagan administration.
I used to see the justices come in and out.
It was really fascinating.
It's also an unbelievable thing to argue in front of the Supreme Court, which I did when I was in the Reagan administration.
I was glad to see the president win.
I mean, he should go on something.
This will define America possibly forever.
Very hard to get a constitutional amendment passed in the fractured country we have right now.
So, should the court adopt this sort of kind of very loose definition, the scholarship is on the side of the Trump administration.
The practice of 140 years is on the side of the people against it.
But if the Constitution has been incorrectly interpreted, as it was with race, as it was with women's rights, in so many areas, it should be corrected.
And there's no question that the people primarily responsible, the senators who wrote this, Believed that it did not apply to people who were not under the political jurisdiction of the United States.
So the justice is using criminal jurisdiction.
Well, when they wrote jurisdiction of the United States, she's acting as if anybody who can be arrested or prosecuted in the United States, that would be what jurisdiction meant.
What the senator said is jurisdiction means people that have full allegiance to the United States, not people who have allegiance to a foreign.
To a foreign power.
And one of the other justices, it could have been Sotomayor, asked a question like, well, why are you talking about allegiance so much to the Solicitor General?
Well, he's talking about allegiance because the people who wrote the law talked about it constantly.
And they kept making the point that in order to have the birthright citizen, you had to have an allegiance to the United States.
And if not, If not, you can't be a citizen.
And the one case they kept talking about, the Wang Kimar case, is a case in which the two Chinese parents were lawfully in the United States.
They weren't.
So let's see what happens.
I do think, unless there's a real Disagreement.
I do think they'll get this done by the end of the term because they've had a lot of time.
They've had a lot of time before this.
It's not as if this was a big surprise.
They've been thinking and writing about this for a couple of years.
So it seemed to me that certainly there are three against.
We can just count on it, right?
And no matter what the arguments are, they might as well not even be there.
It's just like wasting time.
Justice Thomas sounds like he's definitely.
Uh, has understood the argument.
Alito seemed to take the lead in doing that.
Uh, but even Amy Comey Barrett and uh Gorsuch seem like they understand the complexity of the legislative history.
So, uh, Roberts asked what one or two questions, was very, very careful not to give away his position.
Um, Kavanaugh only asked a few questions.
So, those are probably the two that'll get you to decide the case where they go.
Well.
That guy there, can I ask you a question?
The first guy you interviewed?
How long is it, Vincent, you took a shower?
All right, okay, good.
I would just make sure I took all the anti disinfectants I could find tonight if I were near him.
Great job.
Yeah, right.
Great job.
What a great sense of humor she has.
She's terrific.
I love to tease with her.
She's absolutely terrific.
But that guy was so dirty looking.
And I don't think, you know, I was teasing him, but.
I don't think she's.
Ted can tell you this.
You've interviewed crowds like that, Ted.
Right.
What she put on is a pretty fair representation of what the scumbuckets look like outside the courtroom.
I know that.
Look, just because they're protesters and they have a First Amendment right to do it doesn't mean I have to think they're clean or sensible or they don't look like a bunch of freaks.
I mean, that position is not so crazy.
I mean, it's not as if in this particular case it's like, you know, supporting Hamas or.
It's a rational position that's been the position and the legal interpretation for 120 years, whatever 130 years.
There are a lot of very responsible legal scholars who hold that position.
And this would be a case that if you reach the conclusion that because of stare decisis, the need to have consistent interpretation of a law, or I mean, you could make a contrary analysis of the legislative history.
I think that'd be a little more dishonest.
But this is not one of those where whoever comes out on the other side is being dishonest or crazy.
This is a great, great legal question that would be terrific for a law school class.
Citizenship Allegiance Debate00:10:07
It would certainly be terrific for the course that people take in law school about statutory and constitutional interpretation that has rules, but they're not rules like like a Supreme Court decision that sets down a rule of law or a statute that's passed.
There are rules that are most often used.
For example, the plain language rule.
The plain language rule says that if a statute or a constitutional provision is absolutely obvious from the plain language of the statute, there is no need to go into the history of it.
In order to flesh out the meaning of each one of the words, if it's not ambiguous.
So, the first part of it, the first part of it, born in the United States, the plain language of it is pretty simple.
It means inside the United States, in the United States.
However, if you're an American, if you and your wife, or I and my wife, let's say, have a child, and we have our child in Berlin.
Our child is still an American citizen.
We sort of moved away from the plain language, didn't we?
That's not born in the United States.
Now, if you're a diplomat and the child is born to you in an American embassy, well, but what happens if you're a diplomat born in an American embassy, but you're born in an Italian hospital?
I'm sorry.
You have to find a broader interpretation of born in the United States.
Than just the language allows, right?
Born in the United States means pretty simple in the 50 states or territories thereof.
And if you're born in Vietnam, you're not born in the United States.
If you're born in Puerto Rico, you're born in the United States.
Except the law stretches it further than that to come to a more logical conclusion that American parents who have a child overseas.
Let's say you're pregnant and you deliver in your eighth month, and you have to rush back to the United States where the kid's not a citizen.
Can't be president.
So now we have the second phrase under the jurisdiction of the United States.
Well, jurisdiction of the United States is not subjected to a plain meaning interpretation either, because jurisdiction of the United States means jurisdiction for what?
Jurisdiction to be criminally prosecuted, jurisdiction to be served with a civil lawsuit.
Jurisdiction to have to comply with rules and laws concerning driving and other things.
Jurisdiction, as they point out, meaning what happens if you also have allegiance to another country?
So, if you're a Chinese citizen, right, like an American citizen abroad, right, and you have a child in America, the child is a Chinese citizen.
Well, if under the jurisdiction of the United States has a broader meaning than just criminal jurisdiction, and the meaning is that you are tied to the United States, allegiance to the United States, then that person who has an allegiance to some other country wouldn't be a citizen of the United States.
So, and then that creates the situation of.
What happens to the people who are here legally, right?
Even people who are here and become citizens that have dual citizenship back there.
So if you have American citizenship, America considers that, and you do, you have to renounce the other citizenship to be an American citizen.
And if you are here legally, The concept is if you went through the process of being here legally, right, as the family in the Kim Van R. case, then that's a sufficient allegiance.
But if you're here illegally, there is no nexus to the United States.
So you're not under the jurisdiction of the United States based on the meaning of the 14th Amendment.
So this is what they'll be arguing about.
Now, most likely, in probably most of their cases, as I understand it, the Supreme Court justices have already voted once.
The practice as described by people who are really not allowed to talk about this, right, but they do.
Practice as we understand it, who are not in those conferences, don't get to hear them.
is that the way most chief justices run the court, just so that everybody can get on record right away, they'll take an initial vote after the argument before they all disband for the day.
And it's a very non-binding vote.
It's really for the purpose of the chief justice doing his job, which the chief justice assigns the writing of the decisions.
Now, you can write.
A concurring or a dissenting opinion on your own.
Where You're joining two other justices, but you have a slightly different view, even though you're voting the same way they do.
But there's only one decision for the court and one main decision for the dissent, and that is determined by the Chief Justice.
So in a case like this, there is absolutely no doubt, unless he's in the minority, that Roberts would write the decision.
In enormously important cases, the Chief Justice writes for the court.
unless he's in dissent.
So let's say that he takes a vote today, and the vote is 5-4 to uphold Trump's decision and to uphold his interpretation as the correct reading of the Constitution.
It's 5-4.
Well, he would assign to himself writing the majority opinion.
And he would talk over, he pretty much let the dissenters decide, but they decided with him.
So let's say they selected Justice Jackson to write the dissent, and it's a 5 4 decision.
There could be other opinions that are written in which people agree with the conclusion of the chief or Justice Jackson.
But they want to add a reason or they want to detract a reason, and I suspect this.
This case will have four or five opinions and you'll have to do a little chart and you'll end up with five in one place, that upholding Trump's view for disagreeing, or it could go the other way.
I think the votes in question are the ones that I I mentioned, I think justice, the chief And, Uh, Kavanaugh, and I'll have to go back.
I i i uh I listened to the argument, I have to i have to uh confess, and this is not meant as a criticism, and it could be my uh my hearing, which isn't the best.
And I i use um I use hearing hearing aids, and I didn't have them on this morning, so that that that could have affected this, but I had a little trouble listening, uh, understanding uh the um solicitor, uh, John Sauer, whose arguments, by the way, were superb.
I mean, you can't fault this argument.
He gave the right answers that should be given and some that you wouldn't even anticipate.
But he has a little bit of a harsh, I think, a harsh voice, and he talks very, very fast, which for a New Yorker usually isn't a problem.
But I had a little trouble following him, so I want to get the transcript and read it.
And I think I'll get more out of it because there are things I think he said, and I'm not sure.
because to me it seemed he was saying it too fast, but it could be this as well.
But in any event, I began all of this by thinking that I began all of this by thinking there was no chance that they'd do away with birthright citizenship.
Astronauts In Orbit00:15:17
And I now get pretty close to 50-50.
Still probably a little bit tilting toward the side that they're not going to overturn so many years of president.
But as I continue to look at the history, what we would call legislative and amendment history, I'm much more impressed with the fact that they.
And I am absolutely positive that they never intended to cover something like this.
If they had an opportunity to tell us what they think today, they'd say you're crazy.
So let's take a break, right?
We should take a break.
And we'll be right back, and then we'll check up on where the mission is, okay?

Now we're back.
Welcome back to the Rudy Giuliani Show, and maybe we should get an update on the Artemis II flight, which is going off into space and head to the moon.
10 days, back in 10 days, coming down to the Pacific, and it will, for the very first time, give them and then give us an opportunity to explore the backside of the moon.
And this is all done for several reasons, one of which is to prepare for a landing on the moon, which will be one more Artemis launch after this.
There'll be an Artemis attempt three, and then there'll be an Artemis four and five, and those are intended to land on the moon.
So let's see where they are.
When we checked before, the booster rockets, I think all of them have disengaged.
Which means it's being propelled into space by its main rocket.
And so it's made up of a little cone, the cabin for them called Integrity, the storage cabin in the back, and a massive set of rockets from, I think, the rockets.
Well, I'll get all the right attributions in a second.
Let's see if we can check.
Let's see if we can check with.
With the mission.
Yep, about an hour and 15 minutes in.
As of now, everything seems to be.
And what are they just showing the rocket continue to ascend?
Yep.
And headed toward.
They're up in space now.
Oh, they're showing a picture from the rocket itself outside.
Right.
So that you see the outside version.
Right.
You see what's remaining with the rocket.
Right.
Yeah, that's amazing.
What would really be interesting?
There's the moon.
You can see the moon if that's on right now.
So it's headed for the moon.
Amazing.
And eventually, if you want a little breakdown here of it, if we can show this just so you understand what happened, I'm going to do for you what I did for my granddaughter Grace because I built this little thing for her.
To show her how this all works.
So, if you first look at that, you see the launch aboard system, right?
The little cone at the top there looks like a golf tee, actually.
Then you see the crew module, that's the integrity, okay?
That's where the four astronauts are.
Then behind it is the service module.
That's where a lot of their equipment is.
And I think they can access that if they have to.
I'm not absolutely certain.
The spacecraft's adapter and the encapsulated service module panels, well, the panels hold it together.
The spacecraft adapter adapts the spacecraft to the Orion stage adapter, which adapts it to the Orion, to the rockets, right?
And the propulsion stage there and the main R10 engine, the core stage.
So now I think at this point, at this point, this is what's happened.
It takes off like this.
If you can come back to me, Ted, it takes off like this on either side of here.
Those two smaller pens are what they call the.
Solid rocket boosters.
Okay.
Very shortly into the trip, as it ascended, they fell away.
And that went away.
And now this is heading up there.
See beyond.
Oh boy, there it goes.
I don't see it anymore.
And it'll be back after it goes around the moon.
And there'll be like a 30 minute, Break in our ability to transmit back and forth at some point when they go toward the back of the moon.
I think that's toward the end of the trip, but about seven days.
Then they'll go around the back of the moon a couple of times.
Now, technically, they're not going to be in the moon's orbit, they're going to be a little outside of it, but they'll be able to see it.
And then they'll come heading back to Earth, and baboon, they'll land.
In the Pacific Ocean.
And God willing, everybody will be in great health and they will have made another great leap for mankind.
And they will.
What great people, great human beings, great Americans and a Canadian.
And the bravery is awe inspiring.
Absolutely awe inspiring.
The war, we'll get you up to date on that as soon as we go over to X.
And then it will be on X leading up to the president's remarks, which last night he said would be about the war, both what we've accomplished, where we are, and where we're going.
And I suspect there would necessarily be some comments about this extraordinarily historical and important event that just occurred.
So, you know, remember the pilots that were shot down at the very beginning of the war?
They're all flying missions now.
That's what America has serving it.
Like the three of the four people that you see going up there.
I mean, their patriotism is unparalleled, unparalleled.
The Secretary of War posted pictures today of his secret mission.
over there to boost the morale of the troops which is one of the things that i think that are the this secretary pete hexett is just uh unparalleled in the way he's been able to the way he's been able to um uh Motivate the troops and his relation with General Kane is like that, and it has to be that way.
So, we'll see what the president has to say.
We'll talk about it in a few minutes.
So, thank you very much for joining us on Lindell TV, and we'll be back tomorrow night.
Dr. Maria is going to be on at nine, and we urge you to see her now.
If, in fact, you watch the president or something, you can pick that up.
As you can us.
And actually, more people watch us after the show is over than they do during the show by a lot.
So we have nothing, we have no reason to believe you have to watch it tonight.
You can watch it tomorrow.
More than pretty much double the audience, maybe sometimes triple it, right, Ted?
Right.
And then on weekends, it's extraordinary.
Then they'd have two days.
So again, let's this time add to our prayers, not just to people who are in harm's way.
Overseas and people we always pray for of Israel and Ukraine and Iran, and of course, people in the United States and the president.
Let's pray for those four astronauts.
You deliver them home safely, God, during this very, very holy season for Christians and for the Jewish people.
God bless America!

It's a historic event.
She already knew when I first told her, she already knew about.
Um, about how big about this big fire that sends it up, right?
Remember, you told me that.
How did you know that you read about it?
Because I read it, yeah.
She read about it, so I showed her that it looks like this, right, Grace.
Let's see, it's set up like this.
Let's see, yeah.
You can do that.
Show them what happens, and then and then this one comes off too.

Well, we're back, and I do.
It seems like I have a permanent assistant now.
Grace?
What show?
Yeah, there she goes.
She figured, like the people on Newsmax and the other shows, she would fix her hair a little different.
Notice they have different hair all the time.
Now, Grace has different hair.
So, do you recognize Grace that way?
Do you think your friends recognize you, Grace?
No?

So they're going to go around the moon and be back in 10 days.
During this period of time, during this period of time, they will, it's about four or five days they approach the moon.
Then they do their orbit around it.
And then they get to the backside of the moon, and then they're disconnected from us for a short while, which I don't know if that's like a tense period.
I guess it is for the people on the ground, right?
About are they going to be able to reconnect?
And look, the whole thing is tense.
What they're doing is inherently dangerous.
We want to say that everything has been done over and over and over again by NASA to make this perfectly safe.
And what they're doing is inherently extraordinarily dangerous.
And they're doing it to further human knowledge, specifically about space and flight into space and possible colonization into space, possible scientific advances from things that can be extracted from space.
If it's anything like the first NASA project, it'll be a miracle to the world, a blessing to the world.
And even if it's half like it, it'll be a blessing to the world.
So I think we have our good friend Stephen Schumacher who made his way, I'm not sure exactly where, but close to, oh, there he is, Stephen.
Yes, sir.
I'm actually in Titusville.
Can you hear me?
Yeah.
Now, how far were you and what did you see?
Oh, my goodness.
And I apologize for the light here.
It's a little bit off, as you can see, but I wanted to get the moon in the background because that's the target tonight, right?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm in Titusville, which is across.
You want to send it yourself, Stephen, in your shot.
Oh, and I'm trying my best here.
Let's see.
Yeah, that's good.
Now you're perfect.
Okay, good.
Anyway, so I'm in Titusville and it's across the way.
And I'm not even really exactly sure what this body of water is called, but people were lined up.
And if you check my Twitter handle, and I think I replied to some of yours, you can see the crowd.
I posted pictures of the crowd.
Oh my gosh.
And you've never had a friendlier crowd.
People were, you know, educating each other, letting each other remember.
I don't know if you remember the eclipse, but like people were letting each other use their telescopes and their equipment and explaining things.
We ran into some launch issues and some safety issues, and it wasn't even.
We were updated quicker than anything because there were so many people on the shoreline where I was monitoring it so closely.
So I feel like I knew everything almost as soon as everyone else did, you know, over across the way.
And man, it was so exciting.
What was the sound like?
The sound.
So my understanding is that the sound this evening was not quite as much as it normally is because of something about the weather dampened it.
But I will say this it was loud and it was delayed.
So, as you know, like sound travels slower than light.
And so, it was a rather pronounced delay between the time that I saw the rocket go up and the incredible acceleration that it showed.
Oh, my goodness.
Did you feel it?
Oh, you felt it?
What do you feel on the ground?
Oh, ah.
And you know what?
It's honestly, and I keep, I'll go back to where the eclipse is.
I was with a group of people, like a large group of people, and everyone was sharing the experience of just wonder, right?
And so that rushes through you.
And man, is it cool.
And no one there is like there to have a bad time, right?
Like no one's going to watch the rocket launch.
We didn't have any freaks there who were trying to wish us ill.
Oh, the opposite, actually.
And when I was setting up my earlier shot, people were asking who I was going on with.
And I told them, and they were like, oh my gosh, tell the mayor I say hello and we're rooting for you and everything like that.
But man, I can't.
I got to just say that was something else.
That was something else.
Wow.
Well, we're going to have to take it.
I just got, and you know what?
Actually, this was one of the other issues we were having is bandwidth.
Everyone was trying to upload.
So I just got my launch video uploaded.
And so that's, it's, it's, but it's incredible.
Oh, my God.
Okay, we're going to take a look at it.
Oh, yeah.
And then also, if you want to nerd out on all the lenses, oh, my gosh, the amount of lenses in this, like, I would have gone crazy.
I probably would have gotten distracted with that.
Instead of, oh, I know, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, but it was fun, it was a great experience.
And like, I'll try to, it's a lit getting a little dark, but I'm going to try to give you a little perspective.
So, across here is kind of where the launch was.
And let me start to see if I can get those lights are, yeah, it's hard to see, yeah, I see lights over there, yep.
And then again, the target being the moon here, it's a little confusing with it being mirrored, but yes, you can kind of get an idea.
We'll come back a little later, okay?
Oh, yeah, sounds good, but yeah.
Thanks for having me.
Good to talk to you.
And if you can hitch a ride, come down and see us.
Maybe they have a couple of little tiny launchers that will take you to.
Palm Beach.
Oh, yeah.
See what NASA's got in the toolkit.
We went to the moon.
All you have to do is a couple of miles.
I saw some pontoon boats.
I might grab a pontoon boat.
Yeah, maybe they have a little capsule they can shoot you here.
Yeah, you look good.
You look good.
Jerusalem Religious Tensions00:14:54
God bless.
As do you.
That must have been a heck of an experience.
Too bad we weren't there.
We thought about it at the last minute, but we didn't think we could get set up in time.
To do it.
So let's first straighten something out because this kind of annoyed me.
And I knew it when I read it, and I thought, oh gosh, this is a bureaucratic mix up.
On Palm Sunday, several Catholic prelates, led by the Catholic cardinal, the prelate of Jerusalem, Pier Battista Pizzaballa, a very, very distinguished cardinal, and three other.
Bishop, cardinal, level priests were attempting to get into the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to say Mass.
It was going to be, although I don't know that the police understood that originally, it was going to be a fairly private Mass.
And for several weeks now, they've been attempting to have all of the congregations, Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, try to limit themselves to about 50 people.
Because there have been several rockets that have come, one about a week ago that came very close to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which would have destroyed it.
And of course, even more critical is people, large groups of people.
So they were originally turned away, and that went viral.
And of course, the haters of Israel and the haters of the Jewish people jumped on it like the Jews are at war against the Catholics.
Well, it was straightened out, you know, within an hour or so by the prime minister and the president, President Herzog.
And within a short time, the wonderful Archbishop, Cardinal, issued a joint statement with the president of Israel in which the Cardinal expressed their sincere gratitude to President Herzog for his valued and very helpful intervention.
And Christian prayers for peace during the Holy Week in Jerusalem will proceed, despite the risk and the death rattle that is going on all over the clerical regime in Iran, that is trying to, you know, which is dedicated in the Quran, which I have over here somewhere, to the destruction of those Catholic prelates, Christians, and they do a heck of a job of it.
So, of course, those who seem to, including my friend, My friend, I'm going to make sure I get this correct.
Including, oh, well, first, French President Emmanuel Macron condemned it as a violation as disgraceful.
Last time he went to church, it was to escape his wife punching him, which I think she does regularly.
Remember, she got caught punching him in the plane?
Yep.
We can't tell because you see only the after effects of it.
I don't know.
What I'd really like to know is, does she ever punch him and knock him down?
Because maybe she's got, who knows what kind of punch she has, right?
Well, that guy who, you know.
When he ends up in church, the church shakes.
And then the communist creep who loves the murderer, Xi Jinping, and the murderer, Putin, who is an avowed communist atheist, was shocked at what happened on Palm Sunday.
I'm not even sure he knows what Palm Sunday is.
So they all got a chance to go crazy.
Of course, Tucker Carlson was outraged.
Tucker Carlson. had from that little piece of information concluded that Christians are being targeted by Israel because the police told the three prelates they should go into the church.
And of course, the reason they did it is because it's a very dangerous area, right?
And it applies to the Orthodox, it applies to the Protestants, and it applies to the Jewish congregations.
And the Muslim congregations.
So, this is a complete, another just gratuitous Jewish hating indication from Tucker Carlson, who is making a complete, I don't know what he's making out of himself.
Where did this hatred come from?
Or is it paid for, as some people say?
I don't know.
He was rumored to be anti Semitic from the first time I ever heard about him.
And I used to think it was unfair.
I mean, now what can I do?
I mean, it seems like it's the first reaction.
When I heard this, my reaction was this is unfortunate because they're trying to protect them.
And the Cardinals, of course, would rather take the risk.
And it got resolved within an hour or two.
It wasn't a war between the Christians and the Jews at all.
It was resolved the way sensible human beings, which would apparently not include Tucker Carlson.
Would resolve it now even more, even more um, even more concerning than that, that something is going on on the right.
That is um, that I don't think, that I don't think we can, that I don't think we can, I don't think we can ignore this Ted.
What, what is this what?
What is this Anti Jewish?
So Jack Posobiak?
Right now, we know Jack, not that well, but we know Jack and we like Jack.
So He says, sort of hears about this, never forget that the Crusades were defensive and justified.
Defend the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
This is based on Israeli police telling the Cardinal not to go in and have Mass because it's dangerous.
What justifies the comment?
Defend.
First of all, the Jews weren't involved in the Crusade.
Right.
The Crusade's involved with the Muslims, Jack.
And why do we need you to lecture us?
That's the question.
Why do we need Jack Posobiak to lecture us when there seems to be a mistake or misunderstanding that occurs between the police and the Cardinal and the Archbishop that gets resolved within an hour?
And I don't know, a person of goodwill would immediately see that this was just a stupid consequence of, well, of.
Everybody being under real tension, given the fact that they're, you know, this close to being killed by the out of control crazy Muslims.
Which I guess he agrees are out of control, crazy Muslims because he goes on to say what really is an attack on the Muslims, which is that the Crusades were not defensive.
I'm not sure exactly.
I don't know if I exactly understand what he's saying.
Never forget that the Crusades were, I'm sorry, the Crusades were defensive.
And justified.
Yes, the Muslims at the time, as well as many now, were dedicated to the annihilation of Christian, the Christian religion, and of Western civilization.
And yes, they wanted to take from us Jerusalem, which is a secondary holy place for them, a primary holy place for the Jewish people, and where all of the significant.
Religious and theological, theologically significant events of the Catholic religion, Christian, would take place.
It's from Palm Sunday to the resurrection and then the 40 days that Jesus spent on earth.
All of it happened in Jerusalem.
So the two religions that are really have Jerusalem as the most critical city in the world are the Jewish religion, which for 2,500 years has been attached to Jerusalem, in and out, and part of it.
And tonight, in a Passover service that's 1,500, 2,000 years old, we'll say, as Jews have said for every one of those years, next year in Jerusalem.
That's the way the Passover Seder ends.
And Jews have no connection to Jerusalem.
That's where the first temple was.
That's where the second temple was.
Christians have no connection to Jerusalem.
That's where Jesus entered to great fanfare on Palm Sunday, as we celebrated a couple of days earlier.
That's where tomorrow night we'll have commemoration of his Last Supper and his creation of the Eucharist, which is the core of our religion.
That's where he was captured by the Romans based on the betrayal of Judas.
Brought to Pilate and Herod, and eventually scourged, crown of thorns put on his head, and eventually delivered over for crucifixion.
Died, and two days later, rose from the dead.
All of it happened in Jerusalem, all of it within the confines, the most important parts of it, starting on Holy Thursday, in the confines of that area that Cardinal Pizzabolo was in the other day, an area that was hit by a bomb.
A week ago, that almost destroyed it by the Muslims who have been seeking to destroy Christianity from the day Muhammad announced it.
Yes, he killed lots of Arabs, his own people, the way the Ayatollah does.
Yes, he was dedicated to the wiping out of the Jewish people, but he was also dedicated to the wiping out of the Christian people.
Now, Jack Posobiak makes this strange statement.
So maybe if Jack can explain it, I just say, okay.
Because my experience with Jack is he's a good guy.
I don't see him.
Hey, that was my experience with Tucker, too.
His statement is completely off the wall Christians are being targeted by Israel, just the opposite.
It was Israel that went into Syria to protect the Christians who are being slaughtered by the Muslims.
We were reluctant to do it.
And Bibi did it.
I can tell you because I've been to Jerusalem and I'm a little older than Shaq.
When Jerusalem was split between Arab and Jewish, the Arab part of Jerusalem encompassed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
And they, when it was handed back to the Jews, it was a shithole.
Fishies inside, animals inside.
And what the hell did they do to the church in Bethlehem for years?
In fact, originally they held hostages there, including, well, I don't know, I'm going off the point.
But in any event, I will not go off the point now because.
None of these defenders of Christianity, one of whom's an atheist and the other of whom is one of the biggest phonies that ever lived, Macron, and the other, Tucker, has become one of the best known haters of the Jewish people in the world, never resisting some attempt at fake news or false accusations like this.
However, on that same day, 12 Christians were slaughtered by Muslims when they were trying to celebrate Palm Sunday in Nigeria, the country in which President Trump announced that there was an attempt to annihilate the Muslims, the Christian people.
And he was roundly criticized by all of the lousy newspapers that it really isn't that organized.
They just kill them here and there.
Not that organized.
I mean, one of the cores of the religion is to eliminate Christians and Jews.
In order to create a world dominated by Muhammad and his pagan god Allah.
Yes, Allah began as a pagan god.
He was one of four.
And Muhammad, in between epileptic fits, was taken to heaven by Gabriel from the Dome of the Rock.
That's the connection.
Of the Muslim religion to Jerusalem.
I told you what the Jewish connection is and what the Christian connection is.
The Muslim connection is somehow, if you believe this, somehow Muhammad fell asleep on the Dome of the Rock.
And while he was sleeping, he was visited by the angel Gabriel, who picked him up.
And I guess using one of those Orion rockets, took him up to paradise or down to paradise.
Regime Overthrow Claims00:15:48
And there he had a great time.
He met all the prophets, Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and Joseph with his beautiful coat and everybody else.
And then he met Jesus, who he said was a great guy, not God, of course.
And his crucifixion is completely falsified by the apostles.
And he's not really particularly special.
He's another one of the prophets, not one of the most important prophets, but he's an important one.
Obviously not as important as Muhammad.
And then Muhammad, of course, met Allah, the pagan God.
And he became the most important prophet, and they all wished him luck.
Patted him on the back, and then he woke up at the Dome of the Rock, or they say the Aksumah Mosque, where that's the site of it.
And then he found his way back, I guess, maybe he called Uber an Uber camel.
And he got himself back to, I guess he was hanging out then in Mecca before they threw him out.
And he went back to Mecca and he told everybody about his little journey.
And they said, You're effing nuts, Muhammad.
Get the hell out of here.
We know you.
You were brought up here.
You're a middle level family.
You're uneducated.
You're in.
Who's going to write this book for you?
You can't read and write.
And it's going to get interrupted by these fits that you have every other day when you get on the floor and you spit out all kinds of white stuff.
And they, of course, concluded that he was possessed by the devil after a short while.
And the scholars say he had epilepsy, and others say that he was a paranoid schizophrenic nut.
He sure was a murderer and a pedophile.
I guess murderers and pedophiles can create religions.
Well, Henry VIII created the Anglican Episcopal religion, right?
And he was a murderer, right?
Your head wasn't safe near him.
And he wasn't a pedophile, I don't think.
No indication that Henry was a pedophile.
He was a ladies.
I mean, you know, he had a lot of activity, which is a little strange in the head of a religion.
But I mean, the thing that's really strange is he was a murderer.
I mean, you just weren't saved.
You just weren't saved near him.
And then a number of Christians that he wiped out was Catholics, that he wiped out were unreal.
And then he turned on the Lutherans, on the Protestants.
That's the reason you have like all those counter Protestant movements.
And ended up coming to America because Henry VIII persecuted them.
I mean, he died, most people think, thinking he was still a Catholic.
He was just straightened the Catholic Church out.
It really, where there were kings, the king should run it.
If I'm correct, the Mass was still said in Latin when he died.
It was Elizabeth II, Elizabeth I, who changed it.
Elizabeth II was a wonderful queen, and Charles III will eventually be the.
The Caliph of England.
People say, is the royal family going to end?
I don't know if it's going to end, but it's going to change into a Muslim family if it keeps going in the direction that it's going.
So I guess we'll call him Caliph Charles I.
So we have Ali Reza with us.
Ali Reza Jeff Sardardardi, right before the president's remarks.
And I think, unfortunately, tell me I'm wrong, Ali Reza, but have they executed several more people?
Good day, Mayor.
I hope everything is fine with you.
I know you're very active on this issue since Monday when the execution of two Abbey K members took place, and then another two.
Yesterday.
Yeah.
And God knows what's going to happen because there are particularly two others who were in the same, had the same file as the other four who were executed.
And then you're actually looking at the pictures of the four that were murdered by the Iran regime.
But there are two others, Vahid Bani Amirian and Abul Hassan Montazar, that anything could happen to them.
But there are also a number, these are the two pictures of Vahid Bani Amirian and Abul Hassan Montazar.
Those are the two there, those two gentlemen.
Yeah, these are the two.
One young and one more older.
I mean, the first day it seemed like they were more senior members of MEK.
And then the next day, it was kind of the younger members.
And there you have one elder, more elderly member and one young member.
I mean, is this now a pattern, Ali Reza?
I mean, this is three days in a row, or at least two days for sure, and possibly a third day.
Is this a pattern?
Certainly, the regime has started a wave of executions of political prisoners.
And they're actually handpicking individuals to murder them because.
All of these political prisoners that they have killed, or they're accused of, you know, that they want to kill them, they were all members of the MEK.
And according to the regime's own judiciary, they have been accused of recruiting people, but also making weapons, acquiring weapons, acquiring resources, safe houses, plotting, and even targeting the headquarters of repression in Iran, like the Minister of Intelligence.
Is specifically mentioned, which is, as you know, the intelligence apparatus that spies on the individuals, arrests them, puts them in jail, tortures them.
And then, you know, basically saying that these people were part of a network that is intended to overthrow the regime.
And they were trying to convince the rest of the population that the only way really is to end the rule of the clerics is to fight them.
So I think that by itself is a clear indication.
That's where the fear of the regime comes from.
This is in the midst of the war.
Remember, this is very different than two months ago or after the war.
This is a situation that when the regime turns on its own people and the public in the midst of the bombings and the war, that tells you that they see the real enemy, not those bombs coming.
Absolutely.
The real enemy is actually their own population.
And it's not even just in general terms, you know, population, specifically those who act as the engine for change, who have a history of fighting this regime, who have the capability and intent, who have the commitment, who have the leadership, who have a trend, a history of fighting the regime, that, you know, and they go after them.
And of course, these were prisoners who were arrested, some of them two years ago, three years ago, some of them.
Spent several years in prison.
One of them was in prison for several years and he was let out.
And then about eight or nine months ago, he was arrested again.
Yes, exactly.
That's the case.
And, you know, so all of these prisoners have a history and the commitment.
And that's why the regime went after them.
And it wasn't just the execution, Mayor, because they went through a lot of torture because the regime wanted to force them to, you know, repent.
Appear on television, do an interview, and denounce the organization, endorse the regime just to save their lives.
Actually, there's a clip that the regime later on showed, and they were trying, it's highly redacted.
But they wanted to show that one of them, actually, Puya Robadi, was actually, he did an interview.
But that clip that shows that he says, I'm not going to talk, I'm not going to interview, he takes out the microphone.
So you can see the determination.
That's a war crime and it's a violation of international law.
And where the hell is the court of justice that indicted Netanyahu and the guy, his minister in Israel?
And the mayor of New York wants to arrest Netanyahu if he comes to America because of the International Court of Justice.
And this is a straight violation of international law.
You're not allowed to take prisoners and use them for a political purpose.
And they do it constantly.
They were doing it all during the Gaza war as well.
So do you have that clip?
I think maybe.
Oh, good.
We're going to try to find it and play it.
Yes, if he can play, then he says, you know, he refuses.
He says, all right, you know, I'm not going to talk.
Now, these last two that you had up is the information, I gather it's the information is not totally verified that they've been executed, but the belief is that they have been.
Is that correct?
No, we don't know about their whereabouts, but we know that they were taken away.
I see.
From the group along with the others.
We have no idea that, you know, they could have been killed or they could be killed, you know, the next day.
Who knows?
But we know that they were sentenced to death.
The Supreme Court of the regime had approved it.
And they were in the same file, supposedly the same crime, which is for freedom, that they were taken away.
And those four, we know, confirmed that they were executed.
So my point is that, you know, this is a trend that the regime has started the same way they did.
After the 1988, the end of the Iran Iraq war, in order to cope with the consequences of the war, they turned against their own population.
And that's what they are trying to do here.
But I think this whole thing is going to backfire because it signals to the Iranian people that this is the only way.
The level of determination, now a lot of the letters of these really heroes are surfacing.
Some of the messages they sent.
From inside prisons, that the tapes that they said, saying that, you know, we're not going to back down.
There is a story today in the Sun paper, quoting actually Mohamed Harabi, who has a tape just before his execution.
He urges the others to go ahead and overthrow the regime.
He said, I'm here, I would remain committed.
He's asked on TV if, you know, if you accept the charges that, you know, you were involved in the protests and Attacking the regime, and he says, Yes, I did.
And if I go out of here, I will do exactly the same thing.
So that level of commitment is a really smart shit out of you.
I mean, that's somebody of extraordinary courage and commitment.
Yes, you know, all of them are like that because the whole purpose.
I remember when the group was stuck in Iraq, we were trying to get them to eventually Albania.
And they were killing, the CUD's force would be allowed to pick off a group every so often.
I think they killed 100 or so, 120 or so.
And they were also trying to turn people.
I mean, they were trying to grab people and trying to make them into informants.
And they were torturing them.
The UN wouldn't do anything about it, no matter how much we complain.
Nobody turned.
Well, at least they never successfully obtained anyone doing that.
But they must have taken 20, 30 people and tortured them for that purpose with the UN right there.
Actually, there was one case that when they attacked, The place, a young woman, Saba Hafbaradaran, she was shot and hurt very badly and she was bleeding.
And then the father actually happened to be there.
The father comes in and the regime goes for people, a lot of Iraqi agents.
They told the father that we can take your daughter immediately to the hospital and save her life, but that requires that you abandon the group and you come and denounce the thing.
And then Saba herself, the girl, Hears that thing and he calls the father.
He says, You should slap them in the face.
And I will never waver.
We are here for a reason.
We are here for freedom.
If we wanted to have our own life, we wouldn't be here.
This is the story of the prisoners, you know, that there were four prisoners that were killed and the others who are on the death row right now, that they are acting as a motivation, a symbol for the generation.
Their message to the people is that this is the end of it.
It can't get worse.
These mullahs have gone to, you know, they have no limitations whatsoever for cruelty.
We need to pay the price to end the regime.
This is very important because this separates the MEK, which has truly dedicated to overthrowing the regime, not now for four or five decades, but they're willing to pay the price.
They're willing to confront it with shikars.
You've paid the price in massive amounts of blood.
But beyond that, also, in illustrating.
This is to the world for so long.
I mean, you've brought around hundreds of United States congressmen, generals, leaders from all over the world.
I remember the conference in Paris, the one that unfortunately now is noted by the fact that they wanted to blow it up and got caught doing it.
But I don't know how many world leaders were there, or at least retired world leaders.
I know the former prime minister of England was there.
Seemed to me that there were about eight or ten former heads of state that were there.
And they were going to try to blow it up and were caught with massive amounts of explosive devices, all the plans, just about four days before.
Revolutionary Guards Pressure00:11:29
So the idea that Europe, Western Europe, is taking a pass on this is absurd.
I mean, like, They don't care that they want to come there and do murder in their country.
Eddie Rama cared.
He threw them out in Albania.
Yes.
Then he told me nobody's coming to Albania and do murder.
We have enough murder here with the Albanians.
We don't need these people coming and doing murder.
But that's the right thing.
There's the right thing to do to throw them out.
Absolutely.
You know, this regime.
Don't understand any language but the language of firmness and decisiveness.
The regime has to pay the price for what they do.
That's why you have the MEK in the forefront of the fight against the Revolutionary Guards, showing especially the younger generation, especially after the slaughter in January.
Of this year, how thousands upon thousands of people were just simply slaughtered in the streets of various cities.
So, the strategy of the MEK has been, and I think it's further proven right, that you combine the outrage of the population with a force to confront the Revolutionary Guards.
You can't just have this, it is not the time of the Shah that you can sweep the regime out of power by millions of people showing up.
This regime has the experience of the Shah.
This regime has built entire infrastructure for repression and terrorism and missiles and all of that.
So, you need a force internally to confront it.
That's exactly what they represent.
And it's a regime that has distinguished itself by killing more of its own people than anybody else.
Even if you think about this war going on, they've killed more Iranians than they have Israelis, Americans, or even the attacks they make in Saudi Arabia.
The Emirates, Qatar, they've killed a few people in each of those places.
But the 13 Americans, how many Iranians have they killed?
I mean, 40,000, 50,000?
120,000.
These are political executions.
This is not random.
120,000, one by one, handpicked by the Iran regime.
Add to it the number of the people they slaughtered in the streets during the protests.
120,000 historically.
But I mean, in this present situation, From the time these demonstrations began, I've heard the number as low as about 30 or 35,000, and as high as about 40 or 50,000.
And that's in addition to historically the 120,000 that they killed.
Absolutely.
And like these MEK members are added to the numbers that you have recorded.
And I remember every gathering we would have was preceded by Madam Rajavi.
Having us pay respects to the people that had died in that period of time.
And it was always an unacceptable.
I mean, I'm talking about years when it was unnoticed, and maybe it was 40 people, maybe it was 50 people.
And she and her staff would put out pictures of them, a little description of their lives.
And a significant amount of time was.
Devoted to remembering them, remembering their personal lives so they didn't lose their lives on purpose.
That's the kind of dedication to human life that we need.
That's what it's all about.
I mean, to have that kind of dedication to human life.
Exactly, as you said, Mayor.
And right now, just during the protests, in addition to all the people, thousands upon thousands they killed, some 2,000 members of the MEK have gone missing, whether they're killed or they've been arrested.
And all of them, those who survived and are in detention, they're all going to be on death row.
Just four days, five days before the start of the war on the 23rd of February, the Amy Kale launched a major assault on the headquarters of Supreme Leader Khamenei using 250 of their members, which is unheard of in the most secure area in Tehran.
So, very bold.
Working in combination, showing their prowess.
But those who have been arrested, and we gave the names of 82 who were among those who were either killed or arrested, they're all going to be on death row.
So the attention has to be in stopping these executions.
That's one way of building pressure on the Iran regime.
Holding them accountable.
And the regime cannot just get away with these executions of the best of the best, you know, the cream of the crop of the Iranian society who stood up and are fighting for the good cause.
Not just, you know, reading the people of Iran from the repressive rulers, but also, you know, the Iran regime is the epicenter of war and terror.
Think about what an impact a free and republic Iran and a non nuclear, non aggressive Iran would have in the whole region, in the whole world.
And the epicenter of terrorism will dry out.
The whole thing that they have about the missiles and nuclear weapons, that's a sea change.
And that's why I think it's so important for everyone to condemn these executions, to keep the focus, hold the regime accountable, telling them not even a single one of these freedom fighters, those who are standing up for freedom, should be killed.
Well, the president's going to be speaking in a little while.
We'll see what he's going to be saying about the war.
I'm very hopeful.
That the pressure is going to be applied to them.
And I think it's just going to happen all of a sudden that this regime is just going to crack.
I mean, the entire foundation has been attacked, much of it has been removed.
Because they're so secretive, as they have been throughout, it's impossible to really know exactly the extent of the damage to them.
But it's like a building that's hanging on.
And we're probably not going to know when we strike the fatal blow.
But it's going to happen if we just keep going.
It's just going to happen.
It's going to happen soon.
So thank you.
You know what?
Thank you so much, Mayor.
One thing I just want to add is that I think the experience of the past, this is the fifth week now, the past five weeks further proves what Mrs. Rajavi, our leader, has repeatedly said that change in Iran will have to come from underground by the people of Iran.
And because this regime can sustain attacks, can survive.
Certain situations.
That's what they're built for for the past 47 years.
They use all of the resources of the country in building the network of the Revolutionary Guards, their missile program, their drone program, their proxies, even though this regime is certainly far weaker than it ever was.
But at the end of the day, it requires the force on the ground, the Iranians who are fighting.
And I think the fact that the regime started as soon as there's a prospect for ending the war, one way or the other, as soon as the prospect is in the horizon, The regime started executing the MEK members, telling the Iranian population, telling the regime's own people, telling the world that this is the one place that they are so concerned about.
And I think that should show that the one vulnerability that the Revolutionary Guards have, the Achilles' heel of the Revolutionary Guards, is actually internal.
The people, those who have the audacity to confront the Revolutionary Guards, to fight them, and have all the courage.
And that's why I think I'm very hopeful that once dust settles and the war ends, the space will be created for the Irini people to show their commitment and also to confront the Revolutionary Guards.
That's the only way.
Well, thank you very much, Ali Reza.
We'll keep a very close touch.
Thank you so much.
It's always a pleasure.
Thank you for the great work you're doing, Mayor, in informing the American public, the whole world.
We're going to continue.
About the realities and the facts.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for your help.
God bless you.
So it would be a real, it would.
It would be a real deterrent, I think, if President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, the only ones who seem to have the courage to stand up to these murdering bastards, would note these executions.
And these can't become just numbers.
Yeah, these are four people that have now been executed, and it's probably going to be folded up into a group of 40,000 or 50,000.
including thousands of members of the MEK that have been murdered by this regime.
But it's time to just pause on the four that were executed because we don't know a lot of the others.
So we do know these four.
And it would be very helpful if Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump basically told the reign of terror, whoever is running the damn thing now, that this is not going to be tolerated.
This kind of persecution is just not going to be tolerated.
The president did that quite a bit.
A while ago, and it's continued despite that, if it hasn't gotten worse.
So it's about time, and unfortunately, it's too late to get in touch with him now for the speech tonight, but it would be a miracle if maybe he said that tonight.
But let's see if we can encourage him to do it over the next couple of days.
I think if it's called to the attention of the world, maybe it'd give a little spine to the Macrones and the Stearmers and the.
I have a feeling he's going to basically tell all of them where to go today.
It was very surprising to see Prime Minister, I mean, Secretary of State, he's everything, right?
Rubio basically said, We don't really, he wonders how much longer we're going to stay in NATO.
I mean, I don't know.
I mean, I used to have a different view.
The United Nations, absolutely.
I've been in favor of getting out of the United Nations for 25 years.
I think it's a total waste of money and a distraction.
That effort, that time, that money put into trying to create real useful alliances would be much, much better.
Bribery Scheme Exposed00:02:41
And they are enemies of the United States.
I mean, they vote constantly against our interests.
So, some quick, you want to keep up with the when the president comes on?
No, actually, what.
They have the command center of NASA there.
Boy, they have a lot of people.
Wow.
Let me just do a couple of real quickies.
You know, I complain a lot about the Department of Buildings.
And I said when I was a prosecutor, both an assistant U.S. attorney and U.S. attorney, must have done at least two or three rounds of prosecuting 30 to 40 members of the New York City Department of Buildings for bribery.
And when I became mayor, I had believed, and not only that, I think it had been written.
Well, one thing that'll happen is the Department of Buildings aren't going to commit any crimes on the Giuliani.
And I appointed the head of my investigatory effort one of my most experienced and best prosecutors and best lawyers, Howard Wilson.
And boy, if you committed a crime, Howard Wilson would get you and he'd prosecute you, as Congressman Mario Biaggi found out.
One day, Howard walks into my office and he said, I guess we were wrong.
And Howard had rounded up about 20 or 30 of them in a big bribery scheme while I was mayor.
So, here they announced today a former city department of building supervisor pocketed more than $75,000 in bribes.
By fast tracking hundreds of construction deals around the Big Apple, using the money to fund a lavish lifestyle that included trips to Japan, Jack Uday was indicted on bribery and conspiracy charges in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Prosecuted said Uday, who now lives in East Strasburg, Pennsylvania, used his position, this is a supervisor now, as a supervisor to direct projects to his team of plan examiners for approval in exchange for substantial amounts of cash from the construction companies.
The scheme ran from June of 2021 to March of 2025.
That's a long time.
It involved construction company owners Ji Yuan Huang, 50, Anson Tisei, and Ximing Tom, Tam.
All four defendants pleaded not guilty, and they were released as the charges are not bail eligible.
I mean, nothing is bail eligible, which means the people that are sitting in Rikers Island.
Construction Defendants Released00:10:52
Some of the most dangerous people you ever met.
And the communist, Muslim extremist, murderer loving mayor of New York wants to release him.
Because beyond being a communist extremist and a supporter of Islamic murderers, he basically wants to see ultimate chaos in New York.
People say, well, why would he do that?
Gosh, would you please get educated and read?
He's a communist, and that's what Karl Marx taught him to do.
And everybody else that writes on communism.
What do you think it means to be a communist?
They don't go to church and pray.
They're supposed to create chaos so they can bring down this horrible government of the United States.
And his wife looks like she's several steps ahead of him.
I don't know.
Do you really want to discuss Tiger Woods?
I guess we should.
I like Tiger Woods, but this is unacceptable.
Tiger, what is the?
You're not going to let somebody drive you?
First of all, your driver's license should be revoked for the rest of your life.
You're a lifetime offender.
Now, how many times, how many times do you come this close to killing somebody?
I, I don't.
I, and I know there are a lot of people that uh, get angry, that people feel bad for you and I do.
I feel very, very bad, You and I like you, and I admire what you have accomplished in a certain part of life.
But that doesn't take away from the fact that you are a mortal danger to children.
And no matter who you are, they got to take that damn license out of your hands.
And the next time you see him behind the wheel of a car, you should get arrested.
I don't know if you do time or not.
I'd have to be the judge and take a good look at it.
Maybe, yes, maybe, as an example to other people.
It's a one year sentence, but.
Whether you do time or not, much more important, I think, taking that damn license away from you.
You want to go for rehabilitation, fine, but that's not going to lead to you getting a driver's license.
You are never going to drive for the rest of your life.
And if you're seen behind the wheel of a car, there should be an order, a permanent order.
You automatically go to jail.
That'd be the best thing for you.
If somebody cared about you, they would recommend that.
Because how the hell are you going to live with the fact that you killed some kid?
I don't know what's going on, Ted, with the Republican Party, but Ricky Schlott, who we should get on the show maybe tomorrow or the next night. has done this excellent article about how we have a Groyper problem.
Now, I don't even know what Groyper means, but I think it means, among other things, to hate Jews.
So the College Republicans of America elected as their president Brigham Young University student Kai Schwimmer.
He's the past political director.
His experience in politics is being affiliated with Nick Fuentes.
A blowhard Nazi Hitler lover and Lenin lover, and now Trump hater, and massive hatred of the Jewish people that, I mean, he can't avoid it.
And a complete asshole of the worst kind that makes up history, believes in blood libel for the Jewish people.
What are you, some kind of witch?
You think a curse can come down for 2,000 years?
You got to be some kind of witch.
You listen to just his interview with Tucker Carlson, in which Tucker put him on his lap, and I thought he was going to kiss him a couple of times.
And then compare it to the interview with Piers Morgan.
Piers Morgan just destroyed him.
And with the fact that, have you ever had sex?
No.
And he's 27 years old.
We got a weirdo there, and unfortunately, he's got a following in my party.
Well, I don't know if they're really Republicans.
They call themselves young Republicans.
These are people that were all, I don't know.
Schwemmer is, Ricky concludes that Schwemmer is almost tame compared to some of the others.
At Florida International University, WhatsApp had a whole thing that was leaked to chat.
In which college Republicans were flouting anti Semitism, using the N word.
They used the N word in one chat more than 400 times.
And also, they were joking about maybe it'd be a good idea to crucify black people.
And Florida International University president condemned the group chat as abhorrent and extremely disturbing.
And the police department was investigating it.
Well, I hope they found people investigating it isn't good enough.
Then in October, there was another leaked thing calling black people monkeys, praising Hitler, and discussing raping their enemies.
University of Florida had to disband the Florida Federation of College Republicans.
And this is not left-wing.
They did it because they were performing Nazi salutes as part of their routine.
Maybe, maybe some, you know, guys on a football team should beat the shit out of them.
I know that's not right.
I know, I know that's not right.
I just grew up that way.
That's a Brooklyn coming out in you.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like the guys when I was in high school that used to like to go harass gay people and wanted me to go with them.
Yeah.
That's when I became a supporter of gay rights.
It was when I was a kid.
What the hell are you beating them up for because they have a different lifestyle?
I don't know.
Even if you think they're committing a sin, we don't go around beating up people that are committing a sin.
They go to confession for that.
What am I going to do?
Wait outside the confessional and beat the shit out of everybody after they went to confession?
I mean, it's sick.
And then I had some, I don't think it were even classmates of mine, just guys who would hang around in that area of Brooklyn.
And one day I went with them on a walk.
They went to the Brooklyn Bridge and they were throwing cats off the Brooklyn Bridge with wire around the cat.
So they'd snap the cat's neck.
I reported them to the police.
Just like when we got hit a year ago.
I mean, I've been like this since I was a kid.
I don't know.
I think I was appointed the sheriff of the world or something.
A judge has halted construction on the White House ballroom.
How can he do that?
What does a judge have to do with the White House ballroom?
Plus, the fact is, the president didn't want to have to say this, but it came out because of all the litigation.
They're building a gigantic bunker below it, and you got to put something on top of it that, shoot.
They have a bunker below it where our government can function if it has to.
You think that's unnecessary in the world that we live in?
Go take a look at how far North Korea can get bombs now.
Or I guess we're still counting on the fact that Putin and Xi Jinping are rational.
Hopefully they are.
If they aren't, we got a catastrophe that we would have to face.
I was going to cover, but don't have the time, that the splitter is back in basketball and baseball.
Splitter have been gone for a while.
That was a great pitch that many, many Yankees used.
And the Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jay, Yankee pitcher, who they won't put in the Hall of Fame because of steroids, Roger Clemens, who deserves to be in it, more than about 90% of the people in the hall used it to great effect.
I mean, he began as a college pitcher.
I remember Roger as a college pitcher for Texas, I guess, in the College World Series.
And his fastball was like.
It looked to me the first time I saw him pitch for the Red Sox that if you hit the ball, it would hurt your hands.
Wow.
And then, why did he have such a long career?
Because he mixed the fastball, which probably went down from 101 to about 95, 96, right?
He could have gone down to 91 and 92, like it did for Rivera and Guidry, but they would mix it with another pitch.
And of course, Rivera had a magic pitch.
It was like a 97 mile an hour screwball.
Or knuckleball.
Let's see what the president says tonight about the war.
Let's hope he says we're going to fight it to absolute destruction of this regime.
Because this is our opportunity.
If we miss this, it'll be a historical, anything less will be considered a defeat.
You can spin it up and down and all around.
And if you don't eliminate this regime, it's a defeat.
Substantively, I mean, the press would probably paint an absolute destruction of the regime and a change of regime as a defeat anyway.
Anything he does can be a defeat.
But there'd be some substance to the fact that we, you know, we started this thing, we made some very serious threats, and then we didn't finish it.
We didn't finish what we started.
And I know there's a lot of pressure. to do that, but very unwise in every respect, including political.
Artemis II is on its way and it got off.
Apogee Burner Activation00:07:10
Just great.
I mean, there was always right up until the last minute, as you've, if you've ever followed these.
And, you know, a lot of these go back to a time when I was young and it would happen a lot.
There'd be a lot of missions and you got to really know about them and understand them.
And there were many, many that would get delayed.
Sometimes you sit there all day waiting for it to take off and then it'd go over to the next day.
And there was always a window of about only a certain amount of time they could delay it.
Then they would call it off and restart everything either the next day or two days later.
And of course, we had some terrible tragedies.
But getting to the moon politically and scientifically was an unbelievable accomplishment.
But just as important were all of the unbelievable life saving things that emerged from NASA's creative and historic research.
So I see that continuing.
This is a 10 day mission.
We'll keep you.
We'll keep you informed all along the way of exactly what's happening.
There'll be some key moments.
We've already had some the launch, the jettison of the solid rocket boosters, and the abort system that I showed you when I was playing with Grace.
She and I are now, when we get off, are going to do some rocket simulations together.
I promised her before she goes to bed, we'll do some rocket simulations.
You know, I did it with this.
You might have seen that part with this, and then the two on the side, like this here, the two right on the side, like that.
And they fell away, and this came off.
And now it's a little more will come off along the way.
When it comes back, it's really going to be amazing how much smaller it is.
The first time I saw that, I couldn't understand how that thing got through space.
And the first time that it happened, you know, over coming back, coming back.
Please don't take this the wrong way.
I just got to tell you what to be.
Coming back is very dangerous.
The reentry, the speed of it, and that having to slow that speed down before you hit the ocean, which is why you don't land on Earth, is a trick.
But I think God is watching over this.
I do.
I do.
Then the main engine actually shuts off.
And then there's an apogee burner on there.
What that apogee burner does, that's not on now.
That's going to go on, and I'm not sure exactly when, but fairly soon in the mission, because that propels you to outer space into a high Earth orbit.
You've got to do that first before you can start doing an orbit of the moon.
And then there'll be a separation of the Orion.
From the interim cryogenic propulsion stage.
So that's going to be another part of the rocket, which I can show you if you want.
That's another part of the rocket that's going to be, if you take a look at this, when I showed this, a lot of people probably didn't know what we were talking about.
That tip, the tip has already gone, like I just showed with the pens.
The two solid rocket boosters, gone.
Eventually, eventually, the Apogee rays a burner.
Which is right here, the Orion stage adapter, it's right in that area right there, is going to take over and propel it into Earth orbit.
And then this cryogenic propulsion system, a lot of that is going to separate.
And for an upper stage burn, Which sends it into a trans lunar orbit.
And then, when they fall off and that core stage rocket takes over, we can go back.
Then they're going to spend a day, maybe less, heading directly to the moon, like this, right to the moon.
And then, when they get there, They got to get there at exactly the right time.
They have a little time when they can wait around for the conditions to be perfect in order to be able to orbit the moon and get around to the backside.
There will be a period of time when they're going around to the backside when we're cut off or when NASA Central is cut off from them, which is a very, very, very, very tense period of time.
And then they will orbit.
They'll orbit the outer fringe of the orbit of the moon, which means they'll go to the back of the moon, which has never been done before.
And that is being done because we're going to land there.
And this mission is one to make sure that this rocket can handle a trip to the moon and a landing there.
Right now, it looks fine.
Who knows?
There could have been a couple of things wrong that they have to fix that are not.
life-threatening, thank God.
And there'll probably be some others that have to be fixed because it could be another mission in less than a year similar to this.
And then, as soon as they do the lunar flyby, then they head back to the Earth.
And the crew module separates from everything, including, I would think, even the spacecraft adapter that you see there.
I mean, that's gone.
Everything in the back is gone.
And then that module there, the crew module comes back.
I think with the service module, but I'm not sure.
When it says crew module separation, I'm not sure if that doesn't separate as well.
When it splashes down, you're just going to see a capsule.
I don't know if you're going to see one capsule or two capsules, but you're definitely going to see the crew module.

So that whole big thing.
turns into just eventually the module.
So.
Correctly.
We'll keep an eye on him and God speed him.
That's quite the journey, quite the small space to be in for nine days.
I think we should know before we sign off.
I did make this point yesterday, but it was repeated today that the Gulf states are in fact Requesting that the president continue this to elimination of the regime.
And That means no more theocratic government in Iran.
And as long as we've done all this and sacrificed lives and treasure and everything else, what the hell is wrong with trying to make sure there's a democracy there?
I know nation building and all that crap, but we used to be pretty damn good at nation building in Japan and Italy and Germany.
Isn't that a question of execution?
Who do you have?
They have jerks or you have responsible people doing it?
If you have responsible people doing it, like the people who did it in Japan on the General MacArthur and the people who did it in Italy and the people who did it in Germany, you end up with long-term friends.
Maybe they were friends for a long time until they turned out that they're not.
And I would not put Japan in that same category at all.
Japan doesn't legitimately have a constitutional legal issue.
About what they can do about military.
And we imposed it on them.
Italy doesn't.
Germany doesn't.
France doesn't.
England certainly doesn't.
They've been with us in so many things.
And they're as affected, if not more affected, by this than we are, which is why I think the president finds it very, very difficult to bear the burden of straightening out the Straits of Hormuz, right?
When it benefits them a lot more than it benefits us.
And they don't want to do a damn thing about it.
We hope that this MEK execution thing is not a pattern.
There are the two people that have been arrested, and it doesn't seem like there'd be much of a reason to arrest them unless you're going to kill them.
So we'll keep watching.
Last report on the rocket.
It's still moving along safely, Ted.
Still moving along safely.
We're monitoring.
And the president?
The president has spoken.
I believe he's speaking now.
Oh, I thought we were going to get off.
You were going to let me know.
We were going to get off.
Yep.
It's time to get off.
Either way, it's 9 20, so it's time to.
I didn't realize the president was speaking.
He is not.
I mean, I'm looking for him.
He's not speaking yet.
Could be any minute now.
Well, while you're waiting, go to Dr. Maria.
She's on right now.
But what I really recommend is that you put her on after the president's on or tomorrow morning because she's there.
For the whole day into the next day, back again on Friday night.
And we're back tomorrow at seven.
And we'll see where we are.
And at eight on X.
And I really thank you very much for joining us.
It means a great deal to us.
And I hope that we're giving you a lot of the things that you don't get elsewhere, and perspectives and explanations that you don't get elsewhere.
That's what our aim is.
So that we have a country of very well informed citizens, because that's what protects democracy.
Well informed citizens, not make believe citizens like we've unfortunately, the Democrats want to create in mass numbers.
Argument of the Supreme Court was about that today.
How much of us, do you really think when they passed that amendment, they really passed it in order to make America a sucker?
The country that will accept anybody, including people that are vowing to destroy us as we do now?
I think the president is speaking.
Well, let's go right to the president.
And we will sign off, and we'll there's always time to remind you to pray for Israel, for Ukraine, for Iran.
For the United States, for that gentleman that hopefully you're seeing on your screen right now, because he carries the burdens of the world, more so than most presidents, really, because of the unbelievably weak allies that we have, which is one of the reasons the world's in the condition that it's in.
God bless him, Donald J. Trump, and God bless America.
We'll see you tomorrow.
It's our purpose to bring to bear the principle of common sense and rational discussion.
to the issues of our day.
America was created at a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreements, anger, hatred.
It was a book written in 1776 that guided much of the discipline of thinking that brought to us the discovery of our freedoms, of our God-given freedoms.
It was Thomas Paine's Common Sense, written in 1776, one of the first American bestsellers in which Thomas Paine explained by rational principles the reason why these small colonies felt the necessity to separate from the Kingdom of Great Britain and the King of England.
He explained their inherent desire for liberty, for freedom, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the ability to select the people who govern them.
And he explained it in ways that were understandable to all the people, not just the elite.
Because the desire for freedom is universal.
The desire for freedom It hears in the human mind and it is part of the human soul.
This is exactly the time we should consult our history.
Look at what we've done in the past and see if we can't use it to help us now.
We understand that our founders created the greatest country in the history of the world.
The greatest democracy, the freest country.
A country that has taken more people out of poverty than any country ever.
All of us are so fortunate to be Americans.
But a great deal of the reason for America's constant ability to self-improve is because we're able to reason, we're able to talk, we're able to analyze.
We are able to apply our God-given common sense.
So let's do it.
The world is a very important part of the world.
And The world is a very important part of the world.
And The only thing that I can
say about it is that I have a very strong sense of humor, and I think that I have a very strong sense of humor, and I think, have a very strong sense of humor, and I have a very strong sense of humor, and I have a very strong sense of humor, and I have a sense of The world is a very important part of the world.
And The
