Rudy Giuliani covers the Artemis II splashdown off San Diego, highlighting Victor Glover's precise reentry at 24,000 mph amidst 5,000-degree heat. He contrasts JFK's moon legacy with Reagan's Cold War stance before analyzing Douglas Murray's take on Iran's nuclear threat and internal terror. Giuliani critiques left-wing support for Tehran and right-wing calls to remove President Trump via the 25th Amendment, noting strong MAGA backing while discussing Netanyahu's conflict with Hezbollah. Ultimately, the episode underscores the tension between military victories and geopolitical instability, ending with a prayer for the astronauts' safe return. [Automatically generated summary]

Kennedy, Armstrong, and John Glenn00:06:31
Well, good evening and welcome to the Rudy Giuliani Show on the very distinguished Lindell TV, named for the next governor.
Oh, I can't, I'm not supposed to campaign.
Oh.
Going to who?
For, I'm not allowed, I'm not campaigning for the man who could really save Minnesota.
Like sometimes there comes along one person, right?
Trump was the only one who could really get us out of this.
And I do believe in 1993, I was the only person who could have gotten New York out of the condition it was in, which may or may not be as bad as it is today.
Arguably, I mean, we could do that sometime.
Maybe we just do a podcast on, I'll get a couple of my old timers and what was it like then?
What's it like now?
Which is worse?
You could come to different conclusions.
But tonight, of course, we're going to spend, as we should, We're going to spend a good deal of time because it's going to happen right during our show.
Some of it during this show, and some of it a little bit later.
And that is the return of our great American and Canadian hero who have once again returned America to the top of the universe without any dispute.
Without any dispute.
None, zero.
I will begin with my.
I'm going to save this for the end, but I'm going to say it all over the show.
I'm going to start a campaign.
There should be a parade down the Canyon of Heroes for our great, great astronauts.
I participated in the second John Glenn parade.
I gave the second John Glenn parade, but I also lived through as a citizen and a very evolved one.
I lived through the.
The one for Neil Armstrong and the one for the Apollo astronauts and the first John Glenn parade.
Was that 54?
We're going back 54 years.
I mean, I was like, I mean, we had that parade on horseback.
And the Canyon of Heroes, we can talk.
We must have a Canyon of Heroes parade.
The president, I'm sure, will do wonderful things for them, particularly during the celebrations.
Of the 250th anniversary of the United States.
However, is that the John Glenn Parade or one of them?
This is from 19, Rain, Grissom and Young.
Oh, Grissom and Young.
Oh, my goodness.
Was it a rainy day?
Oh, that's Hubert Humphrey.
Yeah, of course.
Of course.
I mean, is he campaigning or what?
No, of course.
No, that was, he came to the parade.
It's very dark, unfortunately.
We'll try to get better ones as we move along.
But Humphrey was there.
I guess he was on the committee then.
Oh, okay.
He was on the committee.
But remember, all of these great things were done under Republicans, with one exception, and I have no doubt he'd be a Republican today, and that's John F. Kennedy.
John F. Kennedy started the program and basically did it.
He did a Trump or a Trump does a Kennedy.
And that is, he said, when I think it was 57, the Soviets surprised us by going up.
Into space or wherever the hell they went to with Sputnik, Sputnik, Sputnik, Sputnik.
And Eisenhower was at that time, it was a little before the transition from Eisenhower to Kennedy.
So we do have to give the great general some credit also.
He just said, hey, hey, hey, we're getting started.
He put an enormous amount of money in.
Don't know if Eisenhower ever was bold enough, however, to do what John F. Kennedy did.
John F. Kennedy said right away, we're going to go to the moon first.
F him.
That was like Reagan's statement.
How is the Cold War going to end, Mr. Reagan or President Reagan?
He looked at them with that very calm but determined look.
And he said, We win, they lose.
It ended completely all the appeasement bullshit.
It ended the crazy, stupid, never mind, all the concessions we made to them.
So they're going to re enter the Earth atmosphere at 7 53 Eastern Time, which is, what about.
About 49 minutes from now, right, Ted?
Yep.
So, right near the end of our show, they're going to enter the Earth atmosphere.
They have already been to the furthest point from the Earth that any of us human creatures have ever been.
What I mean, just that alone is time to just have a parade.
That, I believe, is what we talked about a little earlier, and Ted found it.
God bless you.
And who's helping us today?
At Lindell.
Jason.
Jason, congratulations.
I mean, those are iconic photographs that will mark this decade, maybe even this century.
Yeah.
I mean, those are the first really clear shots taken from the dark side of the moon as it looks at, well, what's it look like?
Have you looked at the sun, right?
That's the Earth.
Oh, the Earth.
Oh, sorry, the Earth.
They're coming back up to the Iron Route, right?
Coming back from behind the moon.
So, this is why they were 6,000 miles away.
That shot was probably taken more at the 4,000 mile point.
Well, we'll do it a little later.
We'll get a ball.
Clear Shots from the Dark Side00:03:03
I love to do this for my granddaughter.
We have so much fun.
I set up when they did the.
When they did the takeoff, I set up like a rocket with the booster rockets, just like you see back there.
I put a red one in the middle, two white ones on the side.
And I said, Grace, here's how it takes off.
Boom.
And then these go away.
And you know how kids get.
She's sitting there and she wouldn't stop.
Boom, boom.
Ah, yeah.
Boom, boom.
Boom, boom.
They go away.
I said, Yeah.
Why are they there?
Pop up.
She calls me Pop up.
I said, Grace, they're there to give it a boost.
That's why they're called.
Oh, booster.
Yes.
I don't know how old you are, because there are a lot of people in the audience, but it is true.
And I heard that so many times when I was younger the greatest thing in the world is to be a grandparent.
And I used to think, oh, it was really great being a parent.
And yes, the greatest thing in the world is to be a grandparent.
Thank you, Andrew.
Thank you, Zaville.
You know how much I love you.
And this is for her.
This, what they did is for her, not just her, her as an example.
Of all our American children and all of the children of the world who are fortunate enough to be in a situation where things are favorable to children.
And by goodness, that is not the whole world.
You know, Dr. Maria, who will be on later at nine, does a feature now that she was inspired.
I think, you know, I don't know if she would feel this way, so I should.
Well, I can talk for myself.
When we were talking about.
When we were going through the Guthrie situation and the kidnapping, and then we started seeing the work that's being done and all the children that are missing and kidnapped, she said, You know, this is terrible what happened, and no one at all is begrudging the time spent on that.
Every life is so important.
But if you're not known, you just don't get that kind of attention.
So, long and short of it, as she does now as a segment of her show, she works with the Center for Missing and.
And abused children, which is a great organization, and just about every show they feature a child missing that they regard as one they have a chance of finding.
Um, and I think it's been very fulfilling for her.
And I believe, and of course, you're nothing I say you have to believe or accept, you just listen to it and evaluate it.
And there'll be some you do and some you don't.
I want you to be thinking, discerning human beings if you are.
A fair, thinking, discerning human being.
And this whole country was made up of just people like that.
We'd have nothing to worry about.
However, I believe that was an inspiration from the Holy Spirit.
And thank you, God, for giving it to her.
Maybe we'll find a child.
Discerning Humans in a Fair Country00:15:40
I don't know.
We have found some in various situations in the past or helped to.
So this is the first landing like this in 50 years plus.
I believe the exact number.
Is 54.
I think, I think, I think, I think.
So we'll take note, and Ted is going to be in charge of 753, okay?
Okay.
753.
I don't know what we're going to get to see, but the Orion spacecraft integrity is going to come into the orbit of the Earth.
We're going to bring up the live shot side by side.
Now, think about that.
They're going to come in at 753, and Ted, what time are they going to land?
8.07.
Do you realize how fast they're going to?
Come down from space?
Oh, wow.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Right.
I mean, that's what is it?
40,000, 400,000 miles above?
40,000.
Yeah.
And 400,000 feet.
We've got a live view of the, this is them in the cockpit.
Oh, can we see it now?
Yep.
If we can bring that up, Jason.
Uh, okay, that's not the live.
Oh, that's just kind of some critical events.
Yeah, well, just take a quick peek at that.
Uh, this is not intended to frighten you or to add any stress, but there should be some.
Uh, this is not a gimme by any means.
The first Artemis craft to go through this came back seriously damaged because it wasn't able, what they had done to protect it from the massive heat was not effective.
Lockheed took it back, fixed it.
They've tested it numerous times, and they are, and the astronauts are 100% certain it's okay.
But of course, this is the first time it's going to be done.
The heat shield has to be perfect, or they'll burn to death.
NSA's Rick Henfling, who I think you will hear during the re entry in Splashdown, has assured everyone from information he was able to gather that it has been done and tested and is really, really in great shape.
This whole process of coming back began, obviously, it began 10 days ago, but this recent one and this very, very dangerous one that they are in, this is probably.
We're going to check on this, Ted, but I would say this is probably the most dangerous part of their voyage or the takeoff.
An expert I heard earlier today mentioned that the riskiest parts are when the most energy is being.
Well, that would be now.
Which is takeoff and landing.
Well, isn't that where 80% of air crashes take place?
Right.
Takeoff and landing.
That's right.
You know, once you're up there, it's very, very rare.
Almost has to be an enormously unusual mechanical failure or an attack.
But at 11 35 this morning, Eastern time, they woke up.
Our great astronauts woke up.
I wonder how they felt when they woke up today.
Just think.
We're coming back to Earth.
Great.
We're going through an untested with humans situation that has never been done before with these pressures.
And the last time it was done, there's a real question as to whether or not the people in the cabin would have been killed.
But.
It was then put in the hands of our team, who they seem to be enormously confident of, and I have no reason to doubt that at all.
So then they began doing many, many things.
If we have time later, we'll go through them.
But all the things preparatory to it, I'm sure they go through test after test after test.
And then they head back toward Earth.
And then at 7 33, which we'll also note, why don't we write that down?
7 33?
7 33 p.m., they're going to separate.
From the service module.
So the service module is.
About 20 minutes.
The service module is that red one.
You see that red one there?
That's going to be got.
So you got the white, the orange, and the red at the very top.
I believe that one falls away at 7 33.
Integrity's Orion crew module will separate from its European service module.
That might be the white part.
The deep, what we're going to, yeah, I'm not absolutely sure.
The deep space workhorse that kept Artemis II on course provided power and life support.
And offered exterior vantage points from which photographs were taken and shared with the world.
After that separation, the crew capsule will fire its own thrusters to optimize and readjust the reentry angle and distance itself appropriately.
At 7 53, they'll start their reentry, as we pointed out.
They'll be at an altitude of 400,000 feet.
They will be 2,000 miles southwest of their entry, of their landing area, which means they'll be 2,000 miles further out in the Pacific, heading toward Japan and closer to Japan and China and that part of the world.
So there's a lot that has to be done, right?
Now, they are coming back.
I don't know if you know this, they're coming back backwards.
Oh, I did not notice that.
So, so, I can't imagine.
You remember when you used to have to back up a car on your own and you didn't have all those things, those little lines.
I don't know if you have a car like that, but almost all of them have it.
We have all those lines and you have all the things.
I still turn my neck around, and there's no doubt it's much safer because it catches things that are effectively blinded.
So they're going, they're going, they are falling backwards.
So that the heat shield, therefore, is facing upward and upside down, so that the crew can see clearly the horizon line.
Because Glover, the pilot, is going to be flying the plane.
And he is, I believe, selected because he's probably one of the three or four best pilots we have in America.
Isn't that something?
I mean, only a couple of pilots could possibly have the hand eye coordination and all the other things to do this because he is really going to have to thread a needle with his capsule.
He's got to go into a spot like this.
Think of it this way.
He's got to go into a spot like this.
Can you see that?
See the little lines, the two lines?
So as he's coming down, he's got to get in here.
He can't be here.
He can't be here.
If he's here or there, he goes, who knows where he goes.
But if he gets it in there, it falls down correctly.
His margin of error is, they measure it, I don't know if these numbers, these, these, these, Uh, indications would mean a great deal.
That's them right now.
That's a live shot of the astronauts in the camera.
Yeah, well, they're working right now.
Uh, they are by and large now flying the plane.
Oh, wow.
Um, wow.
Glover is the pilot, and um, and I don't know how I don't know exactly what the what the um uh division of labor is.
They're all helping in various things and giving him uh coordinates, and uh, but the major thing he has to do.
He's got less, here it is.
He has less than a degree angle that he has to hit.
And Jeff, the flight director, Jeff Radigan, told reporters that Mission Control was reviewing the data and telemetry and really have made a call probably sometime today, you know, as close in time as they can get to that area.
Because this will be affected somewhat by the atmospheric conditions.
So he's got to thread a needle.
So he's got, I don't know, I may have this wrong.
I know you're going to think I probably, I'm not telling you the truth, but I actually learned a little bit about how to fly when I was in the Air Force ROTC a long time ago, and I always kept up with it, although I never got a pilot's license.
I did once, don't tell anybody, actually fly a plane with a DEA agent.
So, But these are not, these are really.
He has got to get his aircraft right in there.
See?
So he's coming down like this, right?
And he's got to get it right in there.
He's got to get it right in there.
And he's probably got, I think, I saw this probably.
He's probably got a gauge of some kind.
Let me lose something black here so you can see it better.
He has a gauge or something that goes like this.
And then he has to line it up.
Go, go, go.
Gives out, back in, in, in, in.
And he does that up here as he's coming down up here on the other side.
So he's got to come out.
So he's got to get himself set up.
And then he's got to get himself in that area.
Which, of course, is not marked out in space, it's marked out on his instrument panel.
And then he'll have to adjust his, he'll have to adjust it.
So it comes, or let's put it this way, it's easy.
He has to adjust it this way, or What happens if he doesn't?
Well, it could be remediable or it could not be.
It depends on how far off, atmospheric conditions.
But it's less than a degree of angle that we need to hit, that the pilot needs to hit at a speed of 34,965 feet per second, approximately 24,000 miles per hour.
Something like 20 or 30 minutes before he lands, that damn thing's going to be flying 24,000.
Thousand miles per hour.
Think of the room for error.
None.
It's actually, this is the second fastest that it's been at in all of the 10 days.
It broke the record for speed about two days ago.
It got itself up to 24,500 miles.
The record of um the record for speed before that was just a little short of that by apollo 10.
It's going to be very, this is going to be very, very similar to the Apollo mission.
And they're coming straight down, but much faster.
But it's essentially very much the same process.
And they have studied that backwards and forwards.
It'll essentially become a man made meteor engulfed in a ball of fire and plasma and facing temperatures of 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
As it rips through the atmosphere, without the protection around them, they would be melted.
Melted.
The G force is 3.9 that's 3.9 times the force of normal gravity.
Not 3%, 3.9 times greater.
One, two, three.
And again, we're going to have a 24 second loss of contact before 7 59.
And then at 7 59, just as we're getting, we'll be off, I think, by then, but we'll try to get back on X before 7 59 if we can, Ted, all right?
A little before 759.
759, they reacquire the mission from Earth.
They lose contact for a very short period.
And then at 759, they will reestablish it at an altitude of about 150,000 feet and falling at ridiculous speed.
Then it drops to 22,000 feet and drogue parachutes deploy.
These parachutes are intended to help slow the vehicle.
And then, very shortly, at about 6,000 feet, which is now very much in sight, the main parachutes will deploy, the ones that really lead it down.
And then at 8 07 p.m., it splashes down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego.
Parachutes Deploy at Six Thousand Feet00:05:11
In 13 minutes, integrity will have slowed from, think about this.
I want you to think, just think.
In 13 minutes, integrity will have slowed from 25,000 miles per hour to 20 miles per hour.
There are some places on highways where you get a ticket for going that slow, right, Ted?
I've seen people get tickets for 25, 20, 15 miles per hour.
That's where the parachute will.
Take over, yeah, but just think of what kind of parachute that is.
So we are seven minutes away.
So at 7 33, Jason will want to see what they're doing.
So we're just seven minutes away from the separation.
Well, should we do it?
Should we do our commercial now?
So we're so we pay our bills, you will absorb everything I said, and you and I and all the rest of us will be flying that plane with uh with our great Colonel Glover and uh and his and his three equally great colleagues.
And please may I put in a very, very quick, dear God.
Watch over them and bring them home safely.
We all pray to you, all of us.
I'm even asking those who don't believe in God on the Pascal bet that it's always better to bet on God than not, because if you're wrong, so what?
And if you're right, dear God, please guide them safely.
It's in your hands and also in the hands of Colonel Glover.
We'll be right back.

I'm going to show them what I'm doing.
See what I'm doing?
I'm getting some champagne ready.
I'm getting champagne ready for the.
I don't know if we should give them a boo.
Yeah, why not?
There.
Some champagne ready.
Nice and cold, too.
Woo!
Very nice.
I'm going to leave it right here.
I think the appropriate time to do that is when they're down and safe.
Right.
And Mayor, if they are on schedule, we are just under a minute from when.
What you see on screen here is a live shot, we believe, and they will be separating from the service module.
Are we able to pick up any of the audio?
Well, we can try, right?
Let's, let's, let's, let's.
I know you all know them, but it is appropriate to, it's being done and very much under the control of these four hero human beings who I think will become poor if they are not already leading up to the world famous movie very shortly.
Reed Weissman, who's the commander, Victor Glover, who right now is the key guy because he's flying the thing.
Christina, does she pronounce it Koch or Koch?
You can pronounce K O C H either way.
There, of course, those very rich brothers, the Koch brothers, spelled that way.
And then, of course, was a very famous mayor of New York, Edward I. Koch.
Yeah, we want to get that right.
And Jeremy Hansen from Canada, who named a part of the back of the moon for his deceased wife, a beautiful, beautiful thing, Carol.
And these are the people who, for a while now, will have the record for having been the furthest away.
From Earth ever.
And we are waiting now for the 733, correct?
Separation from its service module.
Let's see if we can see it.
It's 733 now.
So we're watching to see.
Why does it not appear to be moving?
As I ask a stupid question.
The camera, I believe, is fixed on one of the antennas.
I don't know what word to use.
It's fixed on an arm and pointed back at the.
There it is.
Oh, it's happening.
Oh, look.
Yes, it is the big thing, Ted.
It is the big thing.
It's that big thing.
Look at that.
Ooh.
So the feed went out, which I'm guessing, look at, they're in the middle of miles and miles away.
But remember, they've.
Oh, look at the power of it.
Can we put the volume up a little bit, Jason?
It looks like a massive storm.
Yeah.
It looks like a catastrophic, massive.
We're going to wait for these four CDH cautions.
Those are SPF related, not possible.
So this is.
And then I'll open it and pop it.
Mayor, I think this part was.
And you'll be part of it, right?
That's the white part.
Of our.
When you get a chance, Ted, you should fix that area up and we should get a camera for it.
We have the cameras on.
And I would like that camera right there that's facing me.
That one right there.
Flying for you.
On its own.
Oh, I got what you're doing.
So then maybe we can use.
Maybe we can switch this over here.
Yeah.
Half time.
And put it on Maria over there.
Right.
Too bad Stephen isn't with us.
What a night.
We need him.
Did you invite him?
Yeah, I invited him all week.
Critical Differences with Our Opponents00:15:09
I mean, this is a great day for humanity.
So let's spend a little.
Our next big point, I think, our next big point, I have this guy, is 7 53.
7 53.
So we are.
That's when we start the reentry.
That's when they will technically be back under the control of our home planet.
We are, after all, Americans, first of all.
Yep.
But we also are earthlings, correct?
Correct?
Yes, sir.
Earthlings.
I believe so.
I hope so.
I mean, you know, China wanted to take this all over and run this whole damn thing.
Yeah.
Imagine, imagine, imagine if you could only have Chinese food on the moon.
I like Chinese food, but if I had it all the time, you would not dislike it.
It would have to be.
So today, there are several things that, as a good American, you should read just to show that we have some great columnists and journalists in this country, as we always have.
And like every other profession, they have a certain number of traitors and creeps and bums and liars, but they also have some truly great people.
One of those is Douglas Murray, who has really, I think, distinguished himself in the coverage of the wars, both in Ukraine and in the Middle East.
There's a certain philosophical and religious background to his thinking, which you probably don't know, but I listen to him in podcasts, not only his own, but others.
And there are several with really remarkable debates about Muslims and Christianity and the spread of the Muslim world.
Religion in England, and the man has quite a bit of knowledge of the history of the Middle Ages, the history of Christendom, the history of Islam.
This is what a reporter should be.
Yes, yes, able to communicate easily in the vernacular, but also a man of learning.
Douglass is one of those.
Today, he writes a column that points out the differences we have with our opponents that are critical to us making the right decision.
He said that Bernard Lewis, who is someone that you should read, Bernard Lewis, way back, was one of the real scholars, Western scholars, on Muslims, seeing the issues, the good ones, of which there are some, and the bad ones.
And he said, Lewis did, and Murray is repeating him but analyzing it.
Murray says, We in the West think right now, and I think he really here should say America.
We in America think in two year, we now think in two year election cycles.
Uh, Islam mindset sees a decade, uh, as the very shortest period of time to think in.
And then they think far, far, far out, you know.
Uh, that's what Muhammad was, was, uh, Muhammad was telling them to straighten out the world before the last judgment.
Straightening out the world meant getting rid of us.
Yes, us.
Those of us who are Christian, those of us who are Jewish, those of us who are Buddhist, those of us who are, who are Muslims who don't, but don't share, uh, This kind of reverence for a mass murderer and pedophile and pagan god called Allah, and those who were Buddhists and the Zoroastrians who they attempted to eliminate completely.
So they think this thought has been going on for 1500 years, let's put it that way.
And because of that, right?
Because of that, There are certain things that happen in our decision making that we have to be aware of and that we're prone to.
One of the stated objectives, not the main one, but one of the stated objectives of this war was to give the Iranian people a chance at freedom, which is always a very noble gesture.
We can't always do it.
We shouldn't always do it because we're not capable of doing it all the time.
But when we get it to the 10 yard line, And it's as profound as this.
We should take it over the 10 yard line.
And although we have defeated them by any objective measure, they are still able to terrorize the people of Iran, the region, and the world.
And for the people of Iran, what that means is with all the hope that we've given them and all the hope they've developed themselves, if we make a premature or wrong decision about a settlement, They believe that they will be slaughtered by the regime.
Now, please understand they're doing it every day.
I don't know about today, but they executed two people yesterday.
Most of the people they've executed since we've been paying attention to the hangings are members of the MEK, I think all but two.
Those are the ones they publicize and they let us know about.
Remember, they come in with a scorecard of about 40,000 people to 50,000 they have killed, either as protesters and then thereafter as suspected protesters.
How they decide which ones they're going to take into the prison that was actually originally built by the Shah and torture them and kill them, I don't know, as opposed to those they shoot down in the street.
I don't know if there's a.
It seems to me that they take as prisoners those who are members of the groups that are running this because they're so disproportionately MEK and PMOI.
And I think to some extent also non-Persian ethnics who are still Iranians.
So for all the damage that we've done, And it's been considerable, and we certainly have set them back and done so many things.
They still have substantial enough power to kill their people in unfathomable numbers and to wreak havoc on the world, as they're doing with the closing of Hormuz.
We've set the nuclear program back who knows how long, a lot.
But we haven't completely destroyed it.
We've got to recognize these things.
We've got to write them down.
Regime's still there, capable of tremendous retribution.
They have left still the capacity to rebuild, even though they've been set back a lot, and the practicality of it becomes less certain.
A majority and more of their stockpiles have been destroyed.
But we know they haven't been wiped out completely, and they live to fight another day right now.
And fighting for them means they live to terrorize for another day.
I would actually have written that one little word change for Douglas, who's a great writer.
And they can, as they've shown, shake up the whole world by cutting off 20% of its oil.
In the Strait of Hormuz.
These are all the things they have left.
So when people say they've won the war, of course they have.
By any measure of anything, they've been three quarters of their capacity has been taken out.
And under normal circumstances with a sane regime, they would now beg for peace on our terms.
But they're not.
And they every day prove to us why they can't have nuclear weapons.
And this is why the Times and the pro terrorist Democrats are talking about them winning the war.
And also, as Douglas most accurately says, and also some of the kookiest parts of the American right believe that, like Marjorie Taylor Gonzo.
She believes that they are winning and that the president is.
That the president should be taken out based on the 25th Amendment for being insane.
He writes in his beautiful, very powerful prose that I don't want to paraphrase.
I want to read it to you.
Some of this gang have become so devoid of morals.
Yes, Douglas, morals, you're right.
That they are even justifying the Iranian regime's decision to hang teenage.
Protesters.
Such figures of left and right are now insisting that President Trump step down and that the 25th Amendment should be invoked.
Many in the same people that lied about the complete disability and inability of Joe Biden to know who the hell he was or where he was.
And he does point out that the polls show that.
MAGA voters are 100% behind him and Republican voters are 85% behind him.
So, this idea that Republican regular people like you, if you're Republican, don't trust him, they still retain trust in their hero who delivered them from what might very well have been a communist or Muslim government.
And then he raises a question that could have implications for the next presidency, right?
But there's a time scale problem, and it is one that Vice President JD Vance and others like him are acutely aware of and appear to be too driven by.
And that's the election.
While the Muellers are looking to survive, these misguided Republican Party members are looking to hold on to the House and Senate as the most important option.
And the problem with that is.
They could lose the midterms.
And then the possibility of this happening goes away.
And the possibility of their rebuilding quickly becomes very realistic.
And we will have done all of this for nothing.
So he argues for thinking like a wise man and woman and thinking long term.
The ceasefire lines stop where they are.
Iran wants to be able to help Hezbollah rebuild its stockpiles and rebuild everything.
President Trump has in his hands the ability not only to disrupt, but to destroy them.
He may be the only person in this era of history who can.
It's not as though there is any leadership from any other democracy.
He has the ability to bring them to their knees and then to leave them on their knees until time and events can take their own course.
And I'll read you the concluding line, which I suggest you put somewhere and keep it in front of you until this is over.
And I'm going to say something here you're not going to understand.
As another sage, Helen Giuliani, once put it, whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.
My mother said that to me so often that I believe she is the source of that quotation.
I cannot tell you how often my mom used to say, when I was getting tired of finishing a task, whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.
If someone tells you, could you please help me take out the garbage?
Don't spill it, take it out perfectly and finish it.
To which I might add, says the wise Douglas Murray, any job worth starting is worth finishing well.
And what he means by that is gone to the theocratic regime so that the Iranian people have a playing field on which they can establish a decent government, the exact nature of which is up to them.
But one that does not seek to be nuclear, one that does not torture women and others, and one that is not dedicated day in and day out to the destruction of Jews, Americans, infidels, and anyone who isn't Muslim or paying tribute to the Muslims.
And remember, that isn't their invention.
For that, they rely on.
The Koran, just like the 19 murdering terrorists came to America on September 11th and killed so many of my fellow citizens, both in New York and in America, and people from all around the world in the attacks that they engineered.
So, a couple of things on the war as it's going right now.
Netanyahu's War Strategy Analysis00:04:12
The president and BB Netanyahu had a conversation which the president related.
Did he do it?
I think he did it on NBC.
If we could find it, it would be good.
But I can read it and you get the gist of it.
But there's something about it I want to analyze for you because it's important as we watch everything else that's going along.
He said, I quote, I spoke with BB and he's going to low key it.
I just think we have to be sort of a little more low key, Trump told NBC of his phone call with Netanyahu.
And JD Vance, and we played this quote for you several times, said that Israel on its own had agreed to rein in its attacks following the bombings of Wednesday.
Now, remember, in one part of Lebanon, they were able to get rid of 250 Hezbollah in 10 minutes.
This is a lethal fighting force.
Now, why do I put so much emphasis on that?
I put so much emphasis on that because if President Trump were really upset with Netanyahu doing that, is that the way he talks?
When he got angry in March at Taylor Greene and the other, you know, Craig Biden, what the hell did he say?
I don't even remember what he said about them, but I mean, It's unbelievable.
They're very low IQ.
They're bums.
They're traitors.
So maybe he didn't think this was so smart.
Or maybe he did think it's so smart and he's playing possum.
But he sure isn't really upset about it.
I don't even think you have to know him as well as I know to figure that out.
And now we can go through him.
We're not going to go through the time.
We can go through like a whole history during this war of his disagreeing with Bibi.
In the most charitable, benign way I've ever seen him disagree with anybody on something important.
So, Israel did keep on fighting for a period of time after.
They did tremendous damage to Hezbollah.
They took out their leader in Lebanon, killed him, which I think they've done four times now.
I don't know what's left.
I think they're putting up statues to run it.
Right.
It reminds me of the mafia, you know.
The brain drain is unbelievable.
The people in the mafia now have a hard time even talking.
They're so stupid.
But we cannot resist, we cannot ignore the reality that they still can do lethal damage.
They can still do lethal damage.
This is like the guy that is shot and he's laying on the ground and he's got a gun.
And I remember a hero, a hero Marine once in a debate that I was in with a large number of people.
And the stupid Harvard professor said, You mean when you were going up to take the hill in Vietnam, you told your soldiers to turn around and shoot the Vietnamese that were on the ground?
You did that?
The lieutenant, very calm, obviously way smarter than the Ivy League bullshit artist, said, Didn't you listen to me carefully?
Yes, I did.
I said they all had guns.
So if you were in charge, half of my platoon would be gone because they would have shot him in the back of your jackass and he didn't say jackass.
Falling Quickly to the Earth00:02:21
So I think we're getting ready.
We're in the blackout now.
I think they're in the six minute blackout.
Okay.
Two minutes left on this one.
So this is the blackout, but this is also when they are coming back to us.
They are now going to be, when we next hear from them, Within the orbit of the Earth for the first time in 10 days.
And they're falling to the Earth, which is essentially what they're doing because they're going backwards, right?
They're falling to the Earth is going to happen very quickly.
And during that period of time, what I pointed out to you before has to happen Colonel Glover has to get his vehicle.
Traveling at 24,000 miles an hour, something ridiculous.
Something like 30 times the speed.
Yeah, yeah.
And he's going to get it down to 20 miles an hour within 20 minutes.
But he's got to get it into that.
He's got to get it into there.
He's got to get it into, see, I'm going backwards.
You got to get it.
Not there.
Uh huh.
Not there.
Right in there.
He's going to have to line up his coordinates.
And I'm sure he's got a needle like this, right?
Going like this.
God bless them.
I know, God, I know they're under your guidance.
And we all, I am sure everyone listening to me joins in a plea to you bring them home safely.
And God bless what they've done for the expansion of human knowledge to be guided by people who believe in you.
And who will guide it with wisdom for the benefit of all mankind.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit.
