Ceasefire and Domestic Controversy00:15:06
Hello, this is Rudy Giuliani.
This is America's Mayor Live.
And of course, our focus is on the war, and it's also on some of the things that are happening domestically that involve, and it doesn't seem to be lasting this long, the controversy over illegal migrants, illegal aliens, illegal.
Whatever else you want to call them.
The reality is they are a disproportionate number of criminals that were let into this country by Biden, disproportionate in comparison to any other group of prior migrants to the United States, whether legal or illegal.
I am extraordinarily familiar with the illegal migrants of the 1980s, in particular, 70s and 80s, the 80s in particular, when I was.
Overseeing immigration enforcement for President Ronald Reagan, for the Reagan administration.
I have a very, very good feel for the illegal immigration population in the 1990s when I was mayor of New York City.
And I had roughly, give or take, a couple thousand, 400,000 illegal aliens in New York City.
There's no comparison.
I am not saying that they were.
Right to be here or wrong to be here, or they were wrong to be here, it was illegal.
Very simply, when people argue, as the New York Times constantly does, I think the Wall Street Journal, they just repeat this over and over again.
They're so ignorant.
They say, the illegal aliens, they call them migrants, I think, the illegal, or they call them undocumented, or they call them war heroes.
I don't know what they call them.
But whoever the hell they are, they are less prone to commit crimes than Americans.
Now, that was true.
Arguably true, and I probably agreed with the argument in the sense that it seemed to me the weight of the evidence was more on the side of the illegals in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, uh, were as a percentage less inclined to commit crimes than the ones that were legally here, the Americans that were legally here, whether they were citizens or whatever the heck else they were, uh, you know,
permitted aliens, people on their way to citizenship, whatever, visitors, um.
You certainly can make that argument.
I believe that was true about New York, which I knew the best, meaning our native population committed crimes in a higher percentage than the illegals.
I always thought it was a bit of a dangerous argument because one, the Americans who commit crime were stuck with, right?
The others are imposed on us.
It's an added burden to a law enforcement situation that back then was very burdened.
But today that is not true.
Today, the percentage of crime among the massive numbers of people who literally invaded the United States without any form of vetting, and even when there was vetting, cursory vetting to get them in as quickly as possible, is much greater than, I'm going to say much greater, it's greater than Americans, particularly with crime down among Americans.
And then the other thing is they seem to disproportionately commit perverted crimes.
This is just a quick sample of the people in Minneapolis that were taken, where the government became the villain for saving the lives of people in Minneapolis.
But a disproportionate number of those were sex criminals.
Roughly four, it seemed to me, my own survey, four out of 10.
So this whole argument, I don't get it as a political argument, and I don't get where the support comes from.
However, we'll get to that a little bit later, including the injustice being done in Minneapolis by the left of left of left hanging off the wall and ready to jump into China or someplace else prosecutor in Hennepin County who has indicted an ICE agent for absolutely justifiable act.
And it seems to me it should be removed to federal court.
Somebody should prosecute her.
But let's get to the number one story, which is Lebanon.
Is there a ceasefire with Lebanon?
Yes or no?
The answer is yes.
There's a 10 day ceasefire with Lebanon, which Israel agrees to.
Lebanon agrees to, although I'm kind of concerned that the president of Lebanon won't come to a meeting with Netanyahu or with the president, although he did acknowledge that there is a ceasefire.
It is for 10 days.
This is very, very typical of the problem throughout the Middle East.
For years and years and years, the Middle Eastern governments were supporters of, really under the table, supporters of Israel, did business with Israel, got its help.
But then when any public statement had to be made, they would condemn Israel to keep their street under control.
So that has really changed now in some of those places.
largely because Iran turned on them so heavily.
Remember, I think this is still true.
I haven't checked in about four days, and it has to be true because there hasn't been all that much fighting in four days.
The number of people killed or the number of attacks for sure and property damage in the United Arab Emirates is greater than in Israel.
If you take all together the Arab countries that were attacked, who are not involved in this war by Iran, all of which constitute Unacknowledged war crimes by the people who really claim to be Americans but support the terrorists, not us.
They're much more than the attacks on Israel.
The United States and Israel attacked Iran, no question about it.
Justifiable beyond any measure.
Should have been done years ago.
Finally being done to protect not just my life and your life, but our children and our grandchildren.
This idea of 20 years and they can be nuclear frightens the hell out of me.
I mean, I kind of think my granddaughter Grace and your grandchildren.
This is the time, we may never get a better time.
This is the time to eliminate that cancerous regime.
If you don't eliminate it, it's going to come back.
Of course, they are more long term and more persistent than we are.
We may be in a period of time considerably stronger than them, but long term, they are much more persistent than we are, which is a really sad thing.
It's almost as if evil can persist longer than morality.
But in any event, there is a ceasefire.
The purpose of this really is to clear out the border area between Israel and Lebanon, which, I mean, this is what did Yogi say?
Deja vu all over again.
Israel and Lebanon have reached this agreement three times over 30 years.
Every time they've reached it, all that has happened is Hezbollah killed Lebanese and killed Israelis.
Hezbollah has done much more damage to Lebanon than to Israel, much more.
They have come pretty close to eliminating all Jews in Lebanon.
Lebanon had a very, very vital, strong, and fairly well-integrated Jewish community.
Before the extremists came along.
And for those people who have a hard time separating the Muslim terrorists, Muslims, whatever, let me be clear and fair.
That is an indication that you can have a peaceful Muslim government.
They did.
So did Turkey before Erdogan.
Turkey was right at the top, A. In terms of having a modern Muslim government, kind of thing you'd like to see in Iran, right?
Not the present Turkey.
Erdogan is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and that's an understatement.
So, as far as I can tell, there is a ceasefire.
Israel is not going to be attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon for the next 10 days.
Hezbollah is not part of the ceasefire.
Which means that anytime they could attack Israel, in that case, Israel will respond.
They're not one good thing about the Israelis, our best ally and our most effective partner in war ever, I think.
They don't take shit, and they shouldn't.
You kill my citizens, I'm going to kill 10 of yours.
That's their basic theory.
So maybe this is the best you can do.
The president of Lebanon supports it, but he won't really support it.
He'll do it, but he'll be.
And it's kind of absurd because the real danger to his people is not Israel.
The danger to his people is Hezbollah.
It's been true for 30 years.
The people who killed the Jewish people in Lebanon was Hezbollah, obviously not Israel.
The people who killed the Christians in Lebanon was Hezbollah, not the Jewish people.
And the people who killed other Lebanese who wouldn't listen to them or come under their dominion and sway, meaning Muslim Lebanese or non denominational Lebanese, is Hezbollah.
Israel has tried, particularly in this.
Very effective effort to focus in on the southern part of Lebanon, occasional strikes in Bayreuth because there are compounds, Hezbollah compounds there.
And I think one of the reasons you can have this ceasefire is I do think, although he won't say it, the president of Lebanon is quite impressed with the restraint Israel showed and the fact that Israel for years has wanted a partnership with Lebanon to wipe out Hezbollah.
Hezbollah is bad for them, Israel.
Hezbollah is very bad for Lebanon.
So let's hope this works, all independent of Iran.
Now, Iran says they demand this peace to go forward with any peace talks with the United States.
So it makes it look like we're marching into their drummer.
I would say that's really not correct.
This is independently something that is of great value if you can work it right.
The chances this will work, at best 50 50.
A lot of people say, no way, it's three times and it's failed.
And the guy will come forward, which says he'll only give minimal support to this.
Which means Israel is going to have to take on a bigger role.
And yeah, there's a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, but they're not fighting with each other.
Where's the ceasefire with Hezbollah?
Hezbollah is the one that you need to ceasefire with.
Let's see what they do.
Let's see what they do.
I mean, the smart thing to do is what the Iranian regime is doing hide a little so you can live to fight another day.
Unfortunately, we don't want them to be able to fight another day.
So the blockade.
The blockade is really much more effective.
Quicker than anyone believed it would be, except those people who understand and have the respect they should have for the United States military and our entire defense complex.
We have now stopped every ship that was coming out of or going to an Iranian port.
The estimates are pretty wide.
If we keep this up for two to eight weeks, independent of whether we take charge of the island, we'll destroy their economy.
And it'll get progressively worse because they're still living off what they sold three weeks ago and then two weeks ago and then a week ago.
And then all of a sudden, nothing's coming into the cash register.
Nothing.
Or very, very little.
There's already very little coming in.
So they're going to get more and more anxious for a deal no matter what they say.
They have stopped every ship except one.
And that one is still being tracked.
To see where it's going.
And if it starts heading toward China or suspicious in any way, it's going to be stopped, boarded, and taken over.
And I guess it's right now, it may very well be out of the Persian Gulf, but we have the capability of following it wherever it's going.
And that's one out of.
We can watch here.
We can go every day.
It's kind of interesting.
Yeah.
The blockade is brilliant, by the way.
Worship 115 requests you return to original port of call in Iran.
I'll copy.
Over.
Copy, sir.
Thank you very much.
Copy, copy, sir.
Me alter to Iran.
Me alter to Iran.
Thank you.
Police guy 4, this is U.S. Worship 115.
I understand you will return to your previous port of call in Iran.
This is U.S. Worship 115 standing by on channel 16.
Out.
That's a video of how it's done in practice.
That was a U.S. destroyer communicating with an Iranian ship, extracting it to go back.
It said it would.
No further problem there.
Iran Ship Extraction Drama00:10:18
Well, Lebanon and Israel have technically been at war with each other for 78 years.
And the reality is there's been very little direct fighting between Israel and Lebanon.
And it was probably basically under control until Iran.
Iran, as far as I remember, Iran created Hezbollah.
Hamas has a separate creation.
It comes out of the Palestinian group and the Muslim Egyptian Brotherhood.
That's Hamas.
The Houthis are a Yemen creation to take over the government of Yemen.
But Hezbollah is a creation of Iran to destabilize Syria, Iran, which they did a very good job of, to help create the Iranian Muslim Empire.
That's why it's the Islamic Republic of Iran.
It's a formal acknowledgement of what I guess most people would describe as Muslim extremism.
If you say that most Muslims are peaceful, most Muslims have a modern interpretation of the dictates of the Quran and the dictates of Muhammad, that would be just the opposite for the mullahs and the Ayatollah.
They take the strictest interpretation you can.
They take the most ancient interpretation.
It would be like a group of Christians or Jews got together in a group and said, well, you know, You go back before Christ and they were stoning women so we can stone women.
Of course, it's almost absurd to even analyze.
So, majority of Muslims, the situation like majority of Christians and Jews is that's the way they live their life, no matter what that book says.
Not so in the case of the extremists.
The strongest and worst example of that, of course, has been the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Um And one could say it's really kind of more like Nazism and communism than even a distortion of theology.
It almost seems like an excuse to control the world.
But okay.
In any event, they're not going to do that now, but they'll just go back and hide and do it later.
So the blockade is in lieu of Iran that had taken over the Straits for a little while, and they're going to charge you $2 million to go through.
I mean, that's right out of The Godfather, right?
And please remember what happened to Sonny Corleone at the toll booth.
Baboom, baboom, baboom, he's gone.
That's the way this has got to be treated.
So they're not collecting their $2 million.
Then they have no control over the Straits.
The revelation of them as a paper tiger is worldwide, except not acknowledged by the crooked press.
Think about this.
All the threats.
You take over the Straits of Hormuz.
We're going to attack all your ships and we're going to close the Red Sea.
The Red Sea is wide open.
The Houthis seem to have disappeared in the mountains.
Like, we're not going to go fight for you anymore.
What are you, crazy?
And this, it's as if they don't exist.
I'm going to show you why.
I'm going to show you why.
And maybe it's best.
Maybe you have to see this.
I'm not sure.
But this would be.
Let's see if I can find it right away.
Well, I can't find it right away, but basically, yeah, here it is.
So if you take a look at that, so that's the, that's, that's Iran over there on the, on the right, right in the middle, right, right there, right there.
Okay, right there in the middle.
Now, I want you to notice the reds and the blues.
So this is a, this is about, a week and a half ago, maybe 10 days ago, and what it showed the Blues show the attacks that were made by uh, by um, by Iran on the Arab States.
Note notice notice uh, in that particular day there were a couple.
There were a couple in uh, in Israel, right there.
A couple in Lebanon, right there okay, but look where the majority were right along here.
Okay, Those are all Arab countries.
That's Saudi Arabia.
There's Riyadh, the capital.
United Emirates, Kuwait.
So what do you have?
Three times more attacks in the Arab countries than, and these is about, you cut that in half than on Israel.
Now, the red ones are the U.S.-Israel attacks.
Notice where they are, mostly, right along there.
Now, what's that?
That's the border of the Persian Gulf.
or the Arabian Sea.
Right there are the famous straits.
So what was, and this is like 10 continuous days of something that looks like that.
That is taking out all the guns that are pointed and all of the, toward the, not just the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf, or now, you never know until you test it, how safe is it?
So far, nobody's fired a shot.
Now, it could indicate they're waiting.
I don't know what they're waiting for.
More likely, given our aerial surveillance, they have been destroyed.
And their asymmetrical warfare, for which they were going to be given the Academy Award by the World Braz, has turned out to be a big bust.
Yep, they controlled the Straits for about four days, and now they've got nothing to say about what goes on in the Strait of Hormuz.
So, a single ship.
Was caught exiting the strait on Thursday, and it has remained and it is under surveillance.
It was a Comoros flagged race tanker, and it says it's going to India.
And if it is, then it will not be turned back.
If it isn't, and we determine it's headed for China or a place like that, then it will be stopped, boarded.
And taken, and all of a sudden that oil will become a property of President Donald J. Trump, the major oil salesman in the world now, without any doubt.
You should also know that the EU is now claiming that it's got about six weeks left of jet fuel, so they won't be able to fly.
Oh, maybe if they would help with the, if they had helped with the Strait of Hormuz, we could have done it three weeks ago.
But they don't want to help.
They want to help now.
Now they want to come in now and help.
Now I would have, I would have, I mean, the president is right to make the point.
I'd have said, come on, help, let's see.
So here's the sum up.
The active large-scale fighting has ceased for a couple of days now.
No agreement of any kind.
The peace ceasefire with Lebanon is minus Hezbollah.
And the history has been every single one has collapsed.
Three major ones have all collapsed.
Every expert feels it's going to collapse.
This one thinks it's 50-50.
Me.
Israeli troops are still inside Lebanon.
They're right there, ready to go if anything goes wrong.
And they will respond to anything Hezbollah does.
Hezbollah, they sum it up as ambiguous on compliance.
Well, they haven't agreed to the ceasefire.
But they may just on their own decide, let's live to fight another day, maybe.
Any rocket fire of any kind, the whole thing will collapse in a second.
And the reality is that this is independently valuable, even irrespective of whatever happens with Iran.
What's going on with that?
It's anybody's guess, right?
We apparently have a proposal to them that if they.
It's a maximalist proposal, except for one thing, which I find troubling, which is that they can resume nuclear development in 20 years.
And some say the president's asking for even more than that.
I would say never, ever, ever, ever, never, never.
No nuclear for them.
There'll never be a time.
First of all, there's never going to be a time that we want to extend the number of countries that have nuclear weapons anyway.
And given the lack of control here, that's really hard.
Trump did get a vote of support, if you can call it that, in the House, where he won by one vote, with one Republican voting to stop the president from continuing the war because they say he's violating the War Powers Act, and one Democrat coming over and voting for Trump.
Republican Anxiety Over War00:12:06
And if you verbally poll, If you verbally poll the Republicans, maybe talking to them, the people who interview them, there's anxiety over the war, but still support.
So they're nervous Nellies, but they're supporting it because they got a president with a large pair of Cuyones.
And backed up by Pete Hagsett and Marco Rubio, and someone who is featured today, and very rarely is he featured, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Steve Feinberg.
I recommend the Wall Street Journal article, although, is it fair?
Of course not.
But here's the reality.
He is a very, very large part of the success because the man's a genius.
Ted asked me, is he like McNamara?
And I said, yeah, but he won't make the mistake of Vietnam, right?
But yeah, that's what he is.
And this is a great credit to Pete.
This is exactly what a great executive should do.
You look at your strengths, you look at your weaknesses, and you get yourself people.
That balance your weaknesses and hopefully over a period of time develop those in you also.
And what are Pete's traits?
I haven't seen morale higher.
Witness the number of recruits, about the highest in 40 or 50 years at a time of war.
That's fabulous.
Now we also have announced that we're going to expand our coverage in the blockade to every Shadow vessel.
What that means is there are something like 1,500 vessels that have extremely ambiguous registrations.
I call it similar to the way you would launder money, the way criminals launder money.
They launder the ownership of these vessels, so it looks like they're not from restricted countries.
And there are about 1,500 that have been able to do that very, very easily.
Now, all of those are subject to seizure.
And the reality is there's only one that has possibly gotten through, and that one we're following.
And it may not be.
It's too close to tell whether it really is headed to India or that was a ruse, which they were doing regularly.
And if you want to know, Ted under his breast said, he wants to know who the Republican is so he can volunteer for the campaign.
Of whoever the hell that one is.
Well, the Democrat who came over on our side, let's give this guy credit, Jared Golden from Maine.
Oh.
Now, who do you think?
Now, I'm going to ask him one Republican.
A couple voted present.
A couple didn't show up.
And that's almost worse, but in any event, tell me who the one is.
I don't want to call it a friend.
The gentleman from the Commonwealth.
Is it a Commonwealth, Kentucky?
Yeah, I think it is.
Yeah.
I thought, yes.
Yeah, you're right.
Thomas Massey is the only one voting against.
However, this disappoints me because these two people I know and won for a long time.
Lauren Bobert of Colorado, who I do know and like.
Thomas Keene Jr., who I have great respect for.
His father was the governor of New Jersey.
Yeah.
And Nancy Mace of South Carolina, who also voted.
They also did not vote.
Oh, come on.
I hate that.
The Senate voted this down also.
Well, Nancy Mason.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast said that the Democrats really want America to lose.
Right.
I don't like the Democrats.
Boy, is that true or not?
You're damn right that's true.
You're damn right that's true.
How do you feel there about not voting?
Not voting, I'd be embarrassed not to vote.
I mean, unless I was actually away somewhere, but it had to be.
But I try to come back for the vote.
But in any event, not voting is like.
A baby.
I mean, I don't know what that is.
Well, it's Nancy Mays running for office.
If you don't vote, you shouldn't get paid for that day.
You're there to vote.
That's what we put you there for.
Also, you should know that the experts say that since it started, the Iranians haven't been able to export a single teeny amount of crude oil except this one ship that we're following, which may not be, I'm not even sure it's Iranian.
oil that's involved but no crude oil has been has um no crude oil has been exported from from uh iran uh since the uh since the crisis uh began the markets are going crazy are they going crazy again today yesterday they were nuts meaning good really good Yeah, the price has dropped.
I don't even know what it is.
But, of course, we're making a fortune.
And you wonder, we're making a fortune.
I mean, there were 1,500 tankers headed to the U.S. about four days ago.
And I think they just continue.
And this is a great opportunity for us to grow.
And we haven't talked about this, Mayor, but I'm starting to wonder was the president thinking a few steps ahead when he did what he did with Venezuela and the oil situation there before?
You know, he keeps hinting about that.
And I don't know who's he keeps saying if maybe he's just he's putting it together now.
I'm paraphrasing a little because it's so silly.
I mean, funny.
Yeah.
If it was up to me, I'd just take their oil.
Well, of course it's up to you.
Who else is it up to?
We know, we know, we know who's the boss here.
We don't have, we don't have an auto pen for president.
I mean, back if it's up to me, I would just take that oil.
But they all say that would be, you know.
Well, what does he criticize your friend?
And we both have a lot of admiration for it.
George W. Bush.
What did President Trump used to say, even on the campaign trail in 2016?
I would have taken all those.
So it's not like, look, he's been consistent on this.
No, no.
And he's basically cashed in in Venezuela.
I'd love to see him cash in here.
I think it'd be great.
Also, just in case you think this is just started yesterday, this is kind of impressive.
The other day, the Palestinians caught a guy named Mahmoud Kada.
Abed Adra.
And I don't know that I should know the name because I did an extensive investigation of Arafat, but that was in 86.
So this guy's a little before me.
And I don't know that he was involved with Arafat.
But the Palestinians turned him over.
And he did a bombing in Paris at a Jewish restaurant in 1982 at the Rue des Rosiers in the heart of the Mirai district, which was the Jewish area of.
Paris, and he killed six people.
Murder.
I mean, I'm very, very familiar with this.
The New York City Police Department never causes a murder case.
What is that?
Ted, are you showing that?
Those things up there?
Okay.
All right.
So, this is probably unfair.
So, I'm going to say it, then I'm going to withdraw it.
I mean, with Swalwell and his little pal from Arizona, who who basically convicted himself in terms of every one of the experts on body language, right?
But this lieutenant governor, Biden's good friend, who killed his wife.
What?
Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax killed his wife, who was a dentist, and they were in the middle of a divorce proceeding.
And the two teenage children were in the house when the murder suicide took place.
The couple's son called 911 right before, but it was too late.
He fired multiple shots at his wife, lovely looking lady, by the way, and then ran upstairs and killed himself.
They've been called to his home in January because he was beating her up.
This guy was a star at one point under Governor.
Governor, you can still do abortion after the baby is born, otherwise known as you can commit murder.
Northam, who everyone says didn't really say it, and I have the tape to prove it.
And he did say it.
He said, if the abortion doesn't work and the baby is born, if the mother is unconscious, She gets a little grace period to decide with the doctor what the fate of the baby should be, what they should do.
Well, there are two choices, right?
Live, die.
The second one is otherwise known as first degree murder.
Not so clear for Democrats in a number of states, even New York, although they vehemently deny this.
And in Minnesota, tampon Tim has been killing him for a while.
The agent of the Red Chinese, unless he proves to the contrary.
Because there's so much evidence that he is, and it's all ignored.
Namely, 15 to 30 trips to China to brainwash kids for which he was making a fortune.
He and his wife were making a fortune.
So I don't know what's happened.
Now, this may be unfair.
This seems like a personal matter.
And I could argue that.
I could also argue that the Democrats really know how to pick him, right?
Really know how to pick him.
Murder?
Come on.
Come on.
The tax bill had its effect yesterday with a lot of happy people.
A lot of happy people.
So the average plus for Americans, and this varies widely.
I mean, some people 10, 20,000, 11,000 in one state was the average of what people were getting back.
But 3,500 is the average dollars more.
11% more than last year, 24% higher than anything they ever received under Biden.
So, I mean, this alone now has, and this, of course, remains the case all throughout this year.
So, this will be a major boost to the economy.
And promises made, promises kept.
The president said he would do it, and he did it.
How few presidents do that, right?
An average deduction for over seven thousand dollars.
Wow, wow.
When I say the average is thirty four hundred, I mean, there are people like you know, we're in the ten to twenty thousand dollar category, right?
And then it depends on the states, and in some states, uh, even higher.
Um, and this is specifically in the no tax.
Pope vs Necessary War Debate00:08:36
Rich Lowry has a very, very good article rebutting the Pope called Necessary War.
Um, and it's, I have, of course, uh, several times since then.
Talk to you about the doctrine of justified war, which is a Christian Catholic doctrine that emanated originally with St. Augustine of Hippo in the sixth century, but codified by St. Thomas Aquinas in the 12th century.
And here, I always like to show the books here so you know that we're not faking this book right here.
This is the Summa Theologica.
There's a big section devoted to the criteria for a just war.
This more than exceeds, more than exceeds, it more than exceeds the qualifications for a just war.
I don't even know that either one of them, Augustine or Thomas Aquinas, could ever have conceived of a more evil empire than the 47 years of the.
The Islamic Empire of Iran.
Why the Pope, of course, of course, of course, of course, is entitled to his opinion.
And that's what it is it's his opinion.
It's not a matter of church doctrine.
As I said, these iconic saints weren't just saints, they were some of the greatest philosophers and theologians in Western civilization.
So this is.
This is the Pope's position.
It is not a matter of faith or morals.
You are entitled to disagree with it.
I feel it is somewhat unfair, Pope, to be doing this and not telling people that there's a whole body of opinion that is perfectly justifiable, contrary to what you're saying.
I mean, you got all those robes on and it looks quite impressive, but I don't know.
At least at this point, Augustine and Thomas Aquinas seem to be at a somewhat higher status intellectually or Philosophically or theologically, maybe they're entitled to a little deference by saying, This is my view, but there are others who disagree with it, including, and then you know, mention the names of these legendary philosophers and theologians, which you are not one of.
I mean, you're a wonderful man, I know, but so far, I don't think you've written Assumer Theologica, nor do I think you've written the Confessions of Paul the 14th.
Well, so Lowry really argues something a little different, but it's quite interesting.
He says that the Pope really should take into consideration that without the victory of Constantine, the emperor of Rome who converted the Roman Empire to Christianity, without his victory at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312, there'd be no Christianity.
Because it would have been wiped out by the pagans who were attacking.
And then Ferdinand and Isabella taking Granada back from the Muslim rulers in 1492 was critical to preserving Christianity in Spain.
The Roman Empire defeated the Ottomans at Vienna in 1683.
Otherwise, you'd all be speaking Turkish and praying five times a day.
The defeat of Napoleon, who was trying to take over all of Europe, was not justified.
That led to the Congress of Vienna, a peace that lasted for 100 years.
That wasn't better.
I mean, that wasn't.
How about we should have just let Hitler alone?
Try diplomacy, Pope, with Hitler.
Maybe one of your predecessors did try diplomacy with Hitler, which has become a source of great embarrassment.
to our church, hasn't it?
But you give me the argument for just leave Hitler alone or just talk to Hitler.
Let's see if we can have a little negotiation with it.
Like in Munich, that really worked well, Pope.
Munich really worked well, Pope.
Yeah.
Just like all of the agreements that we just pointed out with Lebanon or the number of times that Iran has lied and cheated.
I mean, this is a group of people that kills its own people as well as Americans.
So, he's going to spend, the Pope is going to spend the 4th of July.
Did you know this?
He's going to spend the 4th of July on the island of Lampedusa.
Now, why would the Pope go to Lampedusa?
Because it is in Lampedusa that many of the aliens coming out of other parts of the world go into Europe and end up.
And from there, they are helped to illegally enter.
The various countries of Europe, which the Catholic Church supports enthusiastically.
Well, being the first American Pope Mayor, he definitely knows what he's doing, right?
He knows what's happening.
July 4th, you could say if you're.
July 4th, he's going to Lampedusa.
As Doug Murray points out, and is this a true statement?
It's hard to find any figure in the world more open or more in favor of open borders.
Is there?
And is there any institution in the world that spends more money, in many cases here in the United States, your taxpayer dollars, to help illegal aliens come in and secrete themselves, not even secrete themselves, get themselves to the sanctuary jurisdictions?
And is there any moral responsibility?
Gee, I hate to raise that question.
For the disproportionate number of rapes and murders.
That aliens who come in illegally nowadays commit, which is easily provable.
So, at least, Pope, shouldn't you square that for us?
I mean, explain that to us.
Explain to us, do you want us to be like Christian martyrs?
We'll let them in whether they kill us or not, whether they kill our children or not.
We just.
We just let them do it.
At least tell us that, that you want us to be that.
You're not doing a good job of fixing these people.
Let's put it that way.
Not when girls get raped and women get killed and people get killed.
And you've got in the United States now gangs that never existed before.
MS 13 chops people's heads off.
So that all came, MS 13 did not grow out of whatever alleged problems America had.
MS 13 grew based on the illegal immigration.
That your church supports very, very strongly.
Don't you have it?
Wouldn't a fulsome moral leader have to account for that and explain it to us?
Explain to us why we should tolerate this.
Maybe it's our obligation to tolerate having our children raped and murdered, but let us know that.
And then people can decide whether they want to be part of your church or not.
We're going to take a short break and we'll be right back.
Here we are, pretty much at the beginning of the process here at this pristine, I call it a laboratory.
It's not like a factory, it's like a hospital.
Fed Chairman Nominee Picture00:06:51
This is the beginning of the process for roasting.
Deep green, very good quality.

They give us the highest quality, all organic, non GMO.
You should know all Arabica beans.
No robusto, all Arabica.
They're going to go into the roaster and it'll get roasted for about 20 minutes or so.

Well, we're back again to America's Mayor Live.
And in Washington at the Fed, they're all awash.
That's right.
That'd be an old New York Post, Daily Mirror, Daily News headline.
Fed all awash.
Is it W A R S H?
Yeah.
So Kevin Warsh is the nominee to be the chairman of the Fed.
Tom Tillis, these are the protagonists here in this stalemate.
Senator Tom Tillis, who's a has been, right?
He's going out, right?
Lame duck.
Probably driven out by Donald J. Trump, right?
Tom Tillis is in favor of Kevin Walsh, as far as I can tell.
He says he just wants the opportunity to vote for him.
Let's see if he actually does, if that comes about.
According to the New York Post, word on the street, Trump will blink on this.
Well, let's see.
Here's the situation.
Kevin Walsh is his nominee to be chairman of the Fed.
In one month, Powell, who we all know Trump disagrees with tremendously, and so do many others.
I think many people feel he's been a very, very weak and very bad chairman of the Fed.
But that aside, let's put that aside for a moment.
Jerome Powell is the chairman of the Fed.
He's got another month to go in his term as chairman of the Fed.
Nobody's been confirmed yet.
Kevin Walsh is the nominee, and he has a hearing before Tillis's committee, and they have to vote him out so he can go to the four where he'll be confirmed.
I'm pretty sure enough Republicans will vote for this.
Maybe he'll be confirmed with 51 votes with Vance having to cast a tying vote.
Maybe he'll be confirmed with a few more than that, but in any event, he'll be confirmed.
In any event, he's got to get to the four.
Tillis is holding that up.
And Tillis says, I'm holding that up.
Because you have to drop Trump, you have to drop your investigations of the cost overruns focused on Powell for the palace that he's building at the Fed.
Now, I must have passed the Fed when I lived in Washington 2,000 times.
It is one of the most beautiful buildings as it, I don't know what they're doing.
It's one of the most beautiful buildings in Washington on Constitution Avenue.
It was on my way. to my job in the Justice Department on the left-hand side and on my way to home on the right-hand side when I lived in Washington the first time in the 70s.
And then in the 80s, I would deliberately pass it.
And it is very rare that I took a family member or friend on a tour of Washington, which I had become an expert at, because once I started living there, my entire family came down to visit me both times.
In fact, it got so bad and I had such a busy job, I typed up.
On old mimeograph paper, a list of what to go see and how to get there because I couldn't take them.
Of course, they would come with their kids and it was great.
But in any event, the Fed was like, that's one of the most beautiful buildings you're going to see.
See if you can get a picture of it, too.
Just a picture of the Fed before they ruin it.
So this thing now is 82% over the money they build for it or Congress authorized.
Now, Uh, yeah, the probably one of those down there in the middle, the one down on the right.
Uh, well, yeah, straight on, show it to the state, straight on.
That gives you some idea of it.
Yeah, look how beautiful it is.
Now, maybe, maybe it needed to be clean so it is white.
Operation Metro Cost Overruns00:12:53
I don't know why you're gonna screw around with that.
But it's 82% cost overruns.
If you see 82% cost overruns, I will tell you as a former prosecutor in New York, what cost overruns is the room you create for kickbacks.
Donald Trump did the ice rink, the Walmart ice rink, with no cost overruns, and he did it for three years.
It was being built and abandoned when the crooks got caught kicking the money around.
I know because I caught some of the crooks.
Trump takes over, promises to get it done.
I don't know, maybe it was a year, got it done in nine months.
Wanted a bonus for that.
And then he and Ed Koch got into a big fight because he suggested, or someone suggested it be named after him.
And Koch said very, very uncomplimentary things about Trump after having praised him for the great work that he did in getting it done and a great example.
Koch was.
Not corrupt, although he had an entirely corrupt administration.
And you'd have to know Ed Koch to understand what I'm telling you.
And you'd have to understand that the U.S. attorney at that time was a fair prosecutor.
He would never in a million years prosecute somebody for politics and erred on the side of not prosecuting, even though he was considered a very, very tough prosecutor.
If I can go back and go over the number of cases that I declined prosecution because it just wasn't fair.
It was too much of a penalty.
For what the person did.
And that is a perfectly legitimate exercise of prosecutorial discretion, it is very much a part of a prosecutor's obligation.
Now, you can distort that by making that discretion political.
You could, and you can elevate the role of a prosecutor by making it equitable.
As Justice Jackson said, which was a, which was a, A plaque that I used to have, and what I would tell all my assistants the United States wins when there's an acquittal, unless there's some kind of miscarriage of justice in obtaining it.
It's my job as a prosecutor to bring people to justice, not to convict them all.
You do the best you can, but you also decline ones where it's a first offense.
Insider trading, for example.
I was famous for using RICO cases for major insider trading and stock fraud cases.
It helped to clean up Wall Street for a period of time.
lasts for about 10 years.
But I would decline prosecution almost uniformly on a first offense, first time inside trading case, because so many people were legitimately confused about, can you use the tip?
Can't you use the tip?
And there was a great penalty, a civil penalty that you could enforce, get a lot of money for the government.
And as my former boss, Silvio J. Malo, taught us, don't worry.
Sylvia used to talk with a New York accent like this.
He said, Hey, guys, of course, then it was all guys, right?
Hey, guys, you never push too hard.
If you decline because it's not fair, because there's not enough evidence, don't worry.
He'll be back if he's a real criminal.
It's not always true.
I mean, there are times in which you've got to stretch it for a very dangerous criminal.
But I find a lot of that wisdom, and we'll talk about this some other time in detail.
I find a lot of that wisdom missing now.
Now, I mean, Biden completely destroyed it.
When they wrote the parting essays about Pam Bondi, a lot of them blamed her for weaponizing the process.
Are you kidding me?
She started it.
After the four years we just went through?
And even at this point, if you look at so called a focus on Trump enemies, It's minuscule compared to what Biden did.
Biden focused on anybody with any connection to Trump or anybody who was in Washington on January 6th.
Yeah.
I mean, it was massive, massive.
And less pronounced was Obama's wingman holder.
They weren't, she inherited that.
It's reduced dramatically.
And the reality is, you can't be intimidated from bringing a real case because they're going to tell you that it's politically.
It's not my fault if the person is a Democrat, you know?
It's their fault, actually, because the party has become so evil.
But I'm not going to prosecute you because you're a Democrat.
I'm not going to prosecute you, not prosecute you, because you're a Republican.
And the Justice Department has returned to a lot more of that.
I don't know if it applies in every case, but I do know it's not systemic now.
Under Biden, it was systemic.
So on the Powell thing, there's every reason to investigate Powell.
He presided, I mean, the buck stops with him.
He's the guy who presided over the 82% cost increases.
They are highly suspicious.
Suspicion means you get to investigate.
Suspicion doesn't mean you prosecute.
It means you get to investigate.
It would be irresponsible not to investigate, both from a civil and criminal point of view.
Power, civil and criminal, not like a district attorney.
That's just criminal.
So Tillis says, I'm not going to confirm anyone until Powell's case is.
It's like he wants to fix the case.
I mean, he'd go to jail for that.
It isn't quite that bad, but I mean, it's ridiculous.
So you know what that means?
So Powell has said, I stepped down as chairman in a month, but I have until the end of 28, which is the end of Trump's term, right?
To stay on the board.
In other words, the guy who steps down as chairman, whose term has run out, as chairman, is going to stay on.
I think the tradition there has been that they all resign because you don't want to get in the way of a new chairman.
That's if you're not totally political and to some extent Machiavellian, like Powell, who's been a terrible, terrible, terrible Fed chairman.
If anybody politicized it, he did with all the ridiculous things he did to suck up to Biden and destroy our economy.
He can't get prosecuted for that, but you should be punished for it.
In any event, he's going to stay on so he can continue to torture Trump and hurt our country thereby.
Trump is the president.
Unless it's totally personal, if you torture him, you're going to torture the country.
He gets to set the economic course of the country, and you keep interfering with it.
You're not going to help anybody.
And tell me that Trump hasn't been one of the most effective presidents we've ever had on our economy.
Everybody yesterday who got a much bigger refund than they ever saw under President Autopin can tell you that.
But they say that Trump is going to have to blink because if he doesn't, he's going to be stuck with Powell being the acting chairman until Walsh gets confirmed.
Wow.
Unless the Fed, I think by majority vote, picks somebody else as acting chair.
So when his term is up, the position is vacant.
And you have to have an acting chair.
Okay.
And he will be the acting chair.
And as far as we can tell, he will be.
Unless the Fed decides, let's get ourselves the hell out of politics a little bit.
And let's just appoint a neutral person as the acting chair.
Let him go sit in the seat he's supposed to sit in in the back.
Even though he and he, and we know he wants to do that just so he can be a pain in Trump's ass, right?
Yeah, too late, Powell.
So, the Hennepin County attorney, otherwise known as a district attorney, anyplace else, Mary Moriarty has indicted Gregory Donald Morgan Jr. on two counts of second degree assault.
This all happened on February 5 during Operation Metro Surge.
Sometime we should go figure out.
Arguably, how many lives it did?
It caused several people their jobs, right?
Right.
But how many lives Operation Metro Surge saved?
In, in, well, you can do it.
You got me.
I, there are several, there are several acceptable theories that are used by scholars to figure this out.
Because, I mean, the one I always use were when I was mayor, you know, I came into a city with.
2,100 murders.
I left the city with 600.
So that's a pretty good way of doing it.
Let's see what happened with these crimes during the time that Operation Metro Surge was going on.
But in any event, on the late afternoon of February 5, this guy, Morgan, Gregory Donald Morgan Jr., I'm sorry, is the police officer.
And the defendant, the guy being shot at, I'm kind of lost on his name here.
Let me see if I can get this up for you, Mayor.
Maybe they're not given his name.
So, the ICE agent who allegedly pointed gun at another car has been charged, she's charging him with felony assault.
Well, yeah, the car was driving illegally on the right shoulder of a highway.
An unidentified driver moved partially onto the shoulder to block his path before returning to their lane.
Prosecutors said there was nothing on the rented sports utility vehicle to indicate it belonged to law enforcement.
Morgan, the defendant, then pulled alongside the vehicle, rolled his window down, and pointed a gun directly at the heads of the driver and the passenger.
Morgan said the other vehicle had cut him off and that he pulled his gun and yelled, Police stop, because he feared for his and others' safeties, the document said, because the guy was driving up the wrong side into traffic.
He didn't shoot anybody.
The guy was violating the law.
And he's indicted.
Now, he does have immunity as a federal prosecutor, but immunity is sort of like coterminous with crime.
In other words, if he was deliberately acting wrongfully, the immunity doesn't exist.
If it were negligent conduct, then the immunity exists.
Plus, I do think the federal government can come in and have the case removed to the federal court, take it out of.
This political monster's hands.
I mean, we could go on and on and on about all the cases she didn't prosecute and her fascination with criminals, like a lot of modern Democrats.
Boston Wellness Support for Migrants00:02:31
Now, in Boston, Mayor Michelle Wu, who is the one at one point who would only talk to black reporters and parties for non whites.
Yeah.
She is offering $500 for massages, yoga classes, and creative healing to illegal aliens because they're under stress.
Are you out of your mind?
And here's, I think this is an advertisement, wellness support for LGBTQ plus migrants in Boston.
Get 250 to 500.
So you have to be an illegal alien and you have to be, I don't want to use these words unless I'm quoting from something.
You have to be a transgender or LGBTQ plus.
I don't know if that includes transgender.
Is the T transgender?
LGBTQ?
Yes.
Okay.
We have it up on the screen here.
So there it is.
There it is.
So wellness support for all the rest of the people in Boston don't need wellness support.
Yeah.
They're doing just fine, even though the Red Sox are in last place.
So there have to be an awful lot of people in Boston.
I know that from Dr. Maria that, you know, whenever they focus on that, you've got to get about three or four hours of depression.
I think they need a miss.
Yeah, well, every Red Sox fan in Boston, and you got to prove you're a Red Sox fan.
We're not just going to give it to those people in Boston, like if I were in Boston, a Yankee fan, or all the kids at Harvard or wherever, who are Yankee fans.
They're not eligible.
Even though the Yankees are now on a damn, somewhat of a losing streak, they lost to the Angels yesterday.
Well, maybe 11 runs against Max Fried.
I mean, not well, five runs against him.
I can't believe it.
Well, maybe they should get this going for Yankee fans.
We got to start getting used to it.
Not yet.
We're still only in second place right now.
We end up going like this for a while when we're anticipating being in the World Series.
You're going to need life support.
You'll need to work on, you'll have to work on, you don't want to see the suicide rate go up, including, you know, I think I'd be entitled to some help.
Swalwell.
Oh.
Solid Rape Allegations Report00:08:07
So now I'm going to look at it from the point of view of there are now, as far as I can tell, there are two.
Uh, rape allegations that are solid allegations.
Solid allegations does not mean, uh, he's he still has to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, but they're certainly prima facie, meaning there is more than enough probable cause to arrest him on either one of these two.
Uh, the first one you saw, uh, the press, or maybe you didn't, but the press conference with Lorna Drews, um, who who who says that she was uh raped by him while his wife was pregnant, um.
There are altogether five allegations of sexual, vaguely described as sexual misconduct.
But two of them now are specifically rape allegations.
In addition to Drew's, there is a second woman who said that in, and I think these women have dates, unlike the person who claimed that Trump sexually touched her in the dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman in the middle of the day.
Now, she can't remember the date.
She can't remember the year, which means he has no ability to show he was out of town, which she was shrewd enough to realize was probably about half the year.
So, if she just picked a date.
Might be a problem.
You're right.
You were a fool.
He could have been in Canada or he could have been in Las Vegas or he could have been in Florida or he could have been in.
Who knows?
Not only did she pick a date, she picked a year.
If Trump.
We were not the subject of massive political persecution by a Justice Department that didn't weaponize criminal law.
They turned criminal law into something akin to East Berlin, Nazi Germany.
And having been the victim of it, I can tell you that with great authority.
So, Drews looked like an enormously effective witness when I watched her.
That does not mean she's, I'm telling you that I can't tell you by looking at it that she's telling the truth or not telling the truth.
All I can tell you is that juries are actually entitled to consider demeanor.
That's one of the things that, in fact, it's one of the things that probably is disproportionately involved in verdicts, one way or the other.
Does the person look like you're telling the truth?
Now, more important than that will be corroboration.
Corroboration of what she said.
She did say some things that have to be followed up.
She says that although she didn't report it to the police, which is a strike against her, understandable.
Please, the women group, don't go crazy.
It's understandable.
Believe me, I handle many of these cases.
Not only that, I changed the whole way in which New York City reacted to abuse cases when I read the report about how they were mishandled.
However, the fact that she didn't report it certainly doesn't help.
Understandable, but doesn't help.
On the other hand, she says that she contemporaneously discussed it with friends.
She may have said a therapist, too.
That's all important.
to show that she's not making it up now.
Now, could she have made it up then?
I mean, that's what a jury has to decide.
But the fact that she did report it to one, two, or three people is valuable.
The defense will say, well, they're lying for her.
I'm just playing out a trial for you.
But that's one allegation.
The thing that'll help her the most is that now a second one.
And the second one was in 2018.
This is about the time he was framing Trump deliberately.
And it was somewhat after his dalliance with Fang Fang, who was a Chinese spy, for which I do not understand why he is not in jail.
So rather than fooling around and allegedly raping her, he could have been in jail at this point.
Also, for framing a president on what he knew was false testimony and trying to get him removed from office.
Those are all crimes to a neutral, fair, honest prosecutor.
According to this woman, she claimed she was heavily intoxicated and woke up in her hotel room after a charity gala to find Swalwell assaulting her.
I was pushing him off of me, saying no, she told CNN.
He didn't stop.
She claims that Swalwell drugged her, raped her, choked her, and left her.
She thought during this incident that he was going to kill her.
So, and she has the hotel and the date.
This is not a phony allegation like the Bergdorf Goodman crazy.
Who didn't know the date or the time, the place, or the didn't know the place, but didn't know the date within years.
So you couldn't have any defense.
So now, if he can show he was, let's say he was during this period of time, Swalwell was in Germany for a conference.
Well, that's a pretty solid alibi.
I mean, that would at least probably make it difficult to prove this beyond a reasonable doubt.
On the other hand, if he was in New York at the time, That would help.
But the fact that there are two of them, and then I don't know the circumstances of the three others, it's going to depend on how serious are they.
Were they stupid comments that he made, or were they touching, or did it go further than that?
But this is a real case.
And anybody that says that it's being pursued politically is just a damn liar.
This can get pursued against anybody if you have two women. who claim that you rape them with the details that these women have.
It doesn't mean you get convicted, but it sure means you get investigated.
It probably means you get prosecuted.
Because unless these stories fall apart, I could write an affidavit for a search warrant based on this on probable cause.
You should know that this is according to the Ukrainians, but I have no reason to disbelieve it.
They won a battle against the Russians using entirely robots against soldiers.
And they've used robots a lot in battle, but never exclusively.
They've used robotic systems in 22,000 frontline missions.
And these last three months, they've been using them extensively as they push Russia back.
They've made net gains in pushing Russia back.
So, I really do think that we cannot let Putin get what he wants in Ukraine.
I mean, we can go into more detail on that.
Navy Crew Selection Proposals00:03:54
I have some very specific proposals about it.
But caving into him.
Oh, meanwhile, while you're getting a lot of money back from Trump in New York, the communist.
Also, a supporter of Muslim extremism, Mandami and Hokal want to increase your taxes because they want to take it away from you so they can use it on a budget that is, if it isn't prima facie evidence of corruption, nothing is.
It's larger.
The New York City budget for 8.4 million people is larger than the entire budget of the state of Florida, which has 22 million people.
You don't need to know any more than that about how corrupt it is.
Thank you.
Senator Kelly, who is a former astronaut, has the following quote The last thing I would want in a space shuttle crew would be seven white guy US Navy test pilots like me.
It would be a disaster.
Why does he dislike being white?
Tell me that isn't indicative of, tell me I'm being unfair when I say that is indicative of the Democrat Party, that that makes him a mainstream Democrat nowadays.
And tell me that isn't racist.
What the hell is he having to get white people?
Have you seen a picture of the Obama Center?
You want to see a picture of the Obama Center?
I don't know.
While you pull it up, let's play Mark.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's play our white hater.
Other crew members are going to be.
So, the last thing I would want in a space shuttle crew would be seven white guys, U.S. Navy test pilots like me.
It would be a disaster.
When you're the commander, you get some say in who your other crew members are going to be.
So, the last thing I would want in a space shuttle crew.
Would be seven white guys, US Navy test pilots like me.
It would be a disaster.
When you're the commander, you get.
What a loser.
So tell me not something wrong with him.
Who said that?
I mean, what is that?
And this guy is representing a.
Obviously, he's got something in it for white, something against white people.
Imagine if he said that about black people or.
The last thing I'd want, right?
Yeah, the last thing I would want is seven black guys.
The point being, Mayor, I want the seven.
If I'm in one of those damn capsules flying that million miles an hour, I want the seven brightest minds, the best people.
I don't give a shit what they look like.
Among other things, don't you think it should be disproportionately test pilots?
I bet Navy guys, Navy people, a Navy person, everything there sounds like exactly what you'd want, minus the skin color.
What you don't want is DEI.
Otherwise, we're going to have these things bumping into each other, banging these things, banging each other.
I mean, this is, but that I would, if I were a very wealthy individual and Republican that I am, I would put $100 million behind an advertisement like that all over the country.
Five Days Ceasefarce Reflections00:06:24
This is typical of the Democrat Party.
They don't like you.
You're white.
It's insane how he said that.
I thought maybe it was in some sort of context.
He straight up just said it.
But he can't believe it and he's got to be lying.
Yes.
Which for a guy who was an astronaut and a Navy officer is a disgrace.
That's a disgrace, Kelly.
That was at your old pal, Al Sharpton's National Action Network.
Is that his thing?
The National Action Network?
Oh, that's where he did it.
Good, good.
He likes people who frame people.
Well, in any event.
Give us some wise words going into the weekend, Mayor.
We are in a sad situation when we have a Democrat party like that.
However, it's going to be an eventful weekend.
We'll keep track of it for you.
The focus on Lebanon takes a little focus off of what's going on with possible peace talks with Iran, which are not taking place, but there is a sort of cease.
It looks sort of a ceasefire, although we are accomplishing a great deal every day that this blockade works.
Every day this blockade works, it's like delivering about 50 bombs to their economy.
And it's an economy that's like this.
And the most effective historical reason for overthrowing a dictatorship is economic issues, starving.
If there's any capacity to do that, any capacity to overthrow, this, to me, this whole thing is worth it or not based on whether you get rid of the reign of terror.
And I have every reason to believe that the group of people running Tehran, running Iran right now, are just as bad, if not worse.
They are the same people.
They're all part of the same excessive, crazy, whatever you want to call it. extreme Muslim terrorists.
And the experts and common sense tells you that the group left over is even more bitter and worse.
They convicted and sentenced to death a young woman and her husband that were part of the NCRI, the National Council for the Resistance to Iran, and their two colleagues.
They have done 1,600 executions in less than a year.
They've killed on the streets about 40,000 people.
Much of this after the president said that there'd be devastation if they killed any of the protests.
Well, they've killed 20,000, 30,000 protesters since then.
At some point, we've got to get rid of them.
Negotiating with them is not the answer to a safe.
A safer world.
And there's every reason to believe right now they're trying to re save both their facilities for extending missiles and their facilities for enriching uranium.
They're trying to save as much of that as possible.
And they're getting a break because we've got this ceasefire going on.
And so far, all they've been doing is bullshitting.
So I'm in favor of.
When's the deadline, Ted?
What was it?
Two weeks?
Two weeks.
It's got to be a week of it is up by now.
Yeah, just put it right in.
So please, over the weekend, when you worship God, whether it's as a Jew, as a Christian, or as some kind of non denominational person, please ask God to help us get to the right solutions here.
And take care of the people of Israel and the people of Iran and the people of Ukraine and also us, the people of the United States and our president, who is under just tremendous pressure and handles it brilliantly.
But he has to do that with your help.
I know that.
I know you're helping him and you're guiding him because you saved his life.
So we have the date April 22nd.
April 22nd.
And today is April 17th, 18th, 19th.
20th, 21, 22, five days.
Five days?
Five days before the ceasefire is over.
And so far, no progress other than the fact that we on our own have been able to contain and control the Strait of Hormuz and every single argument they made, every single thing they said they can do, they can't do because they have been destroyed.
It's now time to get rid of the regime.
Anything coming out of the son of the Ayatollah is not anything new.
The people you're negotiating with are all mass murderers.
So we've got to end this regime for the good of the world and specifically for our good.
They tried to kill the president.
They've killed lots of people.
They tried to kill me, so there's a little personal here.
But it's beyond that.
I'd have the same position.
I had the position before they did.
I have the position now, and it should have been done 46 years ago.
So that's our thoughts.
Pray to God, ask for his help, ask for his guidance.
Desire for Freedom Explained00:02:15
And remember, you are very, very fortunate if you're an American.
Very fortunate.
And you should handle that with humility, not with arrogance of any kind.
God bless America.
It's our purpose to bring to bear the principle of common sense and rational discussion to the issues of our day.
America was created at a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreements, anger, hatred.
There was a book written in 1776 that guided much of the discipline of thinking that brought to us the discovery of our freedoms, of our God-given freedoms.
It was Thomas Paine's Common Sense, written in 1776.
One of the first American bestsellers in which Thomas Paine explained, by rational principles, the reason why these small colonies felt the necessity to separate from the Kingdom of Great Britain and the King of England.
He explained their inherent desire for liberty, for freedom, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the ability to select the people who govern them.
And he explained it in ways that were understandable to all the people.
not just the elite.
Because the desire for freedom is universal.
The desire for freedom adheres in the human mind and it is part of the human soul.
This is exactly the time we should consult our history.
Look at what we've done in the past and see if we can't use it to help us now.
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 in the world.
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.
