Trump has done one of the most magnificent things any president has ever done, and it involves a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, ending a 12 day war, a massive victory for Israel, and a massive win for the United States.
00:00:02.000President Trump's massive foreign policy triumph, a ceasefire now achieved between Iran and Israel, ending what he calls the 12-day war, massive victory for Israel, massive victory for America, biggest victory for President Trump.
00:00:15.000We'll get into all the permutations of that, how it happened, what's going on right now, and how about that horseshoe right that decided that the left was right and President Trump actually wasn't MAGA enough.
00:00:24.000But first, there's a lot happening in the world right now.
00:00:26.000You may have noticed, a lot you need to be aware of.
00:00:28.000And more than ever, you need the truth, the real story behind the headlines.
00:00:31.000There's only one place you're going to go to get it.
00:00:42.000Go to dailywireplus.com and join today.
00:00:45.000So President Trump has done one of the most magnificent things that I've seen any president do.
00:00:51.000As we'll get to a little bit later on in the show, there are a lot of warnings that he was about to enter us into World War III.
00:00:57.000I always thought that that was idiotic, and I will tell you how idiotic I thought that was in just a little while.
00:01:02.000But late last night, President Trump announced via Truth Social that a ceasefire had been reached.
00:01:09.000He said, quote, congratulations to everyone.
00:01:11.000It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and total ceasefire in approximately six hours from now when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in-progress final missions for 12 hours, at which point the war will be considered ended.
00:01:23.000Officially, Iran will start the ceasefire, and upon the 12th hour, Israel will start the ceasefire.
00:01:28.000And upon the 24th hour, an official end to the 12-day war will be saluted by the world.
00:01:32.000During each ceasefire, the other side will remain peaceful and respectful.
00:01:35.000On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, on having the stamina, courage, and intelligence to end what should be called the 12-day war.
00:01:44.000This is a war that could have gone on for years and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't and never will.
00:01:58.000President Trump has achieved in the last week and a half, the complete destruction of the Iranian nuclear capacity.
00:02:06.000Israel, with American backing, has achieved the large-scale destruction of Iran's ballistic missile capacity, its ballistic missile launchers.
00:02:13.000Israel, on its own, destroyed the entire top layer of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran, the IRGC.
00:02:22.000Israel took out the top nuclear scientists.
00:02:24.000So, worst-case scenario, what you are talking about here, along with President Trump's authorization, his courageous authorization of that B-2 strike on Fordo, what you are talking about is setting back the Iranian nuclear regime by a decade, maybe more, maybe permanently, because even if they still have some leftover remnants of their nuclear machinery, even if they somehow still have some enriched uranium they've squirreled away somewhere, they can't actually enrich it more.
00:02:53.000They don't have the centrifuges to do it.
00:02:54.000They don't have the factories to do it.
00:02:55.000They don't have the scientific know-how to do it.
00:04:17.000If you go back to 2020, the president of the United States then, Donald Trump, killed Qasem Soleimani, the head of the terrorist regime that was spreading its tentacles all over the Middle East in Iran.
00:04:28.000And the Iranians basically pre-coordinated with the Americans some sort of symbolic strike that was really directed at domestic consumption.
00:04:35.000Fire off a couple of missiles at an Iraqi airbase and then call it a day.
00:04:39.000Well, the same thing happened last night.
00:04:41.000Iran issued this attack on this Qatari airbase, the U.S. base in Qatar.
00:04:48.000And then they announced that they were basically done.
00:04:52.000They said that they had released the number of missiles equal to the number of bombs the United States used in its strike on Saturday.
00:04:59.000The statement put out by Iran said the base that was targeted in the attack by the powerful Iranian forces was far from urban facilities and residential areas in Qatar.
00:05:07.000This action did not pose any threat to our friendly and brotherly country, Qatar and its noble people, which, by the way, shows you exactly where Qatar is, that Iran fires missiles at an American airbase in Qatar and then apologizes to Qatar.
00:05:20.000Now, the IRGC, of course, released a statement claiming they had launched a devastating and powerful missile attack against al-Udaid and said that they would not leave any attack on their territorial integrity, sovereignty, and national security unanswered under any circumstances.
00:05:36.000According to the New York Times, quote, three Iranian officials familiar with the plans said Iran gave advanced notice attacks were coming as a way to minimize casualties.
00:05:44.000The officials said Iran symbolically needed to strike back at the United States, but at the same time, carried out in a way that allowed all sides an exit ram.
00:05:51.000They described it as a similar strategy to 2020, when Iran gave Iraq heads up before firing ballistic missiles at an American base in Iraq following the assassination of its top general.
00:06:01.000So again, that was perfectly predictable.
00:06:03.000In fact, some people predicted it publicly.
00:06:07.000Okay, meanwhile, President Trump then went ahead and posted on Truth Social talking about how essentially the Iranians had told him in advance that this was going to happen.
00:06:18.000Quote, Iran has officially responded to our obliteration of their nuclear facilities with a very weak response, which we expected and have very effectively countered.
00:06:26.000There have been 14 missiles fired, 13 were knocked down, one was set free because it was Headed in a non-threatening direction.
00:06:31.000I am pleased to report that no Americans were harmed and hardly any damage was done.
00:06:35.000Most importantly, they've gotten it all out of their system, and there will hopefully be no further hate.
00:06:40.000I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost and nobody to be injured.
00:06:44.000Perhaps Iran can now proceed to peace and harmony in the region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same.
00:06:49.000Thank you for your attention to this matter.
00:06:51.000Donald J. Trump, President of the United States.
00:06:53.000That's Trump just dunking on them, saying, you guys have nothing, nothing.
00:06:56.000You don't have the capacity to hurt us.
00:06:58.000If you tried it, we would wipe you out.
00:07:00.000Meaning the top levels of the Iranian government, Ayatollah Khomeini, would just be in pieces if Iran had actually attempted to attack American air bases, for example, around the region in a serious way.
00:07:12.000And honestly, it was all for domestic consumption for the Iranian government, which seems to be possibly on its last legs.
00:07:18.000Iran's supreme leader actually shared a flyer showing an American flag burning with the caption, quote, we did not violate anyone, and we absolutely do not accept being violated by anyone, nor will we submit to any act of aggression.
00:07:28.000This is the logic of the Iranian nation.
00:07:40.000Okay, the price of oil went down as the attack was happening because nobody believes that the Iranians were serious about attempting to fire back against the United States or to close, for example, the Straits of Hormuz.
00:07:52.000I pointed out a couple of days ago on the show again.
00:07:55.000China is the party most damaged by the closing of the Straits of Hormuz.
00:07:59.000And in fact, China had actually called on everybody to not close the Straits of Hormuz.
00:08:15.000We'll get to more of this in a moment.
00:08:16.000First, PureTalk, my wireless company, a veteran-led company, believes every man and woman who's faithfully served this country deserves to proudly fly an American flag made in America.
00:08:24.000And that's why PureTalk is on a mission to give an Allegiance flag, the highest quality American flag, to 1,000 U.S. veterans in time for July 4th.
00:08:32.000Just switch your cell phone service to PureTalk this month.
00:08:36.000A portion of every sale will go to provide these high-quality flags to deserving veterans.
00:08:39.000With plans from just $25 a month for unlimited talk, text, and plenty of data, you can enjoy America's most dependable 5G network while cutting your cell phone bill in half.
00:08:46.000The average family saves over $1,000 a year.
00:08:50.000Pure Talk is great coverage, best possible price.
00:08:52.000There is no reason for you not to be using Pure Talk.
00:09:21.000So you recall that a few days ago, Russia made some sort of outlandish claim about how they might transfer or somebody might transfer a nuclear weapon to the Iranians.
00:09:30.000And then President Trump's like, not so fast.
00:09:32.000He put out a long statement on Truth Social saying, did I hear former President Medvedev from Russia casually throwing around the N-word nuclear and saying that he and other countries would supply nuclear warheads to Iran?
00:09:45.000And then he said, by the way, if anyone thinks our hardware was great over the weekend, far and away, the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our nuclear submarines.
00:09:52.000They're the most powerful lethal weapons ever built.
00:10:11.000Okay, so bottom line is all the pieces were in place by late yesterday afternoon for a ceasefire.
00:10:18.000Israel had already exhausted its list of main targets.
00:10:21.000And there are always a few more apples to pick off the target tree in Iran.
00:10:25.000But Israel has been nonstop flying sorties for nearly two weeks over Iranian airspace.
00:10:31.000So they've hit the vast majority of what they were looking for.
00:10:34.000They have degraded probably 75% of the ballistic missile capacity of Iran.
00:10:37.000They've destroyed probably 75% of their ballistic missile launchers.
00:10:42.000They, along with the United States, thanks to President Trump's brave decision on Fordo, took out the Iranian nuclear facilities.
00:10:48.000Israel has killed virtually every top nuclear scientist in Iran.
00:10:52.000They have killed the top members of the IRGC.
00:10:54.000Again, this is a triumph by Israel and by the United States, and it's particularly a triumph by President Trump, who was able to achieve every American goal held in this particular area without a single American casualty.
00:11:47.000The future for the Iranian regime is not particularly bright because, again, the Ayatollahs have run their country horrifyingly poorly, and they will continue to make bad decisions.
00:11:56.000And of course, if they attempt renuclearization, there will be activity by Western powers to stop that, particularly Israel.
00:12:02.000If you think that Israel's Mossad agents on the ground are simply going to go to sleep for the next 10 years, wrong you are.
00:12:07.000But the destruction of the Iranian nuclear capacity may in fact be permanent in the same way that when Israel destroyed the Osirak reactor back in 1981, that turned into the permanent end of Osam Hussein's nuclear ambitions.
00:12:18.000President Trump also said, quote, we couldn't have made today's deal without the talent and courage of our great B2 pilots and all those associated with that operation.
00:12:25.000In a certain and very ironic way, that perfect hit late in the evening brought everyone together and the deal was made.
00:12:31.000And of course, he's right, because effectively, Iran had nothing to negotiate with at that point.
00:12:36.000Okay, now, there was a bit of a tete-tete between Israel, Iran, and the United States that broke out as of Tuesday morning.
00:13:32.000Again, when Israel essentially wiped out Hezbollah in southern Lebanon back in October of 2024, and then a ceasefire was declared, Hezbollah attempted a few actions violating the ceasefire just to see if they could get away with it.
00:13:58.000Donald J. Trump, President of the United States.
00:14:00.000And then he had this rather heated exchange with a reporter talking about how upset he was that Israel and Iran were still firing at each other, essentially.
00:14:12.000They violated it, but Israel violated it too.
00:14:14.000Are you questioning is Israel a committee?
00:14:16.000Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before.
00:14:36.000But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning because of one rocket that didn't land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn't land.
00:15:09.000The president is saying, everybody, if it's weapons down, it's weapons down.
00:15:14.000And in fact, the way that this actually ended up materializing is, according to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's office, the ceasefire was set to begin at 7 a.m.
00:15:23.000At 3 a.m., Israel carried out a powerful strike in the heart of Tehran, hitting regime targets and eliminating hundreds of Basij members and Iranian security forces.
00:15:30.000Shortly before the ceasefire took effect, Iran launched a barrage of missiles, one of which tragically claimed the lives of four Israeli civilians in Beersheba.
00:15:37.000At 7 a.m., the ceasefire officially came into effect.
00:15:40.000At 7.06 a.m., Iran fired one missile at Israeli territory, and at 10.25 a.m., it launched two more missiles.
00:15:46.000The missiles were either intercepted or landed in open areas, causing no damage or casualties.
00:15:50.000In response to these violations, the Israeli Air Force destroyed a radar system near Tehran.
00:15:54.000Following a phone call between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel refrained from launching further strikes.
00:15:59.000In the conversation, President Trump expressed a deep appreciation for Israel, stating it had achieved all of its war objectives and voiced his confidence in the stability of the ceasefire.
00:16:08.000Hey, so President Trump was just saying to everybody, guys, stop, stop, like, stop it.
00:16:14.000Okay, and by the way, I don't think it's bad for Israel, for President Trump to be seen basically yanking Israel's chain there, because what that's saying to Iran is if it were not for President Trump telling the Israelis to stop, then those bombs would still be falling on your head.
00:17:21.000Once again, President Trump handled this situation better than any president of my lifetime.
00:17:28.000If you had told me at the beginning of this war that Israel would be able to do what it has done, that America with effectively one B-2 sortie would have been able to cripple Iran's major nuclear facility at Fordo and also finish off Natans and Isfahan, which, by the way, is what I suggested from the beginning of the war.
00:17:48.000We were talking about the possibility of America getting in.
00:17:50.000I kept saying one B-2 flight is basically all that America would be required to do.
00:18:06.000We'll get to the fallout for all the people who got this so disastrously wrong in a moment.
00:18:10.000First, my work schedule has been incredibly busy as of late you may have noticed, especially because of the extended show and, of course, the news cycle.
00:18:16.000I still need to make sure I'm maintaining my health, hitting the gym, spending time with the family, even with my hectic schedule.
00:18:21.000I learned pretty quickly that peak performance requires peak nutrition, not just caffeine.
00:18:25.000That means eating enough fruits and veggies throughout the course of the day, wherever it may take me.
00:18:28.000That's why I'm so thankful to have Balance of Nature, which fits right into even the busiest of days.
00:18:32.000Imagine trying to eat 31 different fruits and veggies every day.
00:18:35.000That sounds miserable and time consuming.
00:18:37.000With Balance of Nature, fruits and veggies, there's never been a more convenient dietary supplement to ensure you get a wide variety of fruits and veggies daily.
00:18:43.000Balance of Nature takes fruits and veggies, they freeze dry them, they turn them into a powder, and then they put them into a capsule.
00:18:48.000You take your fruit and veggie capsules every day.
00:18:49.000Your body then knows what to do with them.
00:18:52.000I pop those into the protein smoothie every day.
00:19:11.000Also, there are a lot of universities out there that are just teaching trash.
00:19:14.000That is not Grand Canyon University, a private Christian university in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona.
00:19:19.000GCU believes we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:19:25.000GCU believes in equal opportunity and that the American dream starts with purpose.
00:19:28.000Grand Canyon University Equips you to serve others in ways that promote human flourishing and creates a ripple effect of transformation for generations to come.
00:19:35.000By honoring your career calling, you impact your family, your friends, and your community.
00:19:39.000Change the world for good by putting others before yourself to glorify God.
00:19:42.000Whether your pursuit involves a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree, GCU's online, on-campus, and hybrid learning environments are designed to help you achieve your unique academic, personal, and professional goals.
00:19:52.000With over 340 academic programs as of September 2024, GCU meets you where you are and provides a path to help you fulfill your dreams.
00:20:25.000Have you watched him for the last 10 years?
00:20:26.000What unbelievable lack of faith it shows in President Trump for people to suggest that Trump, of all people, was going to get us into World War III on a nation-building exercise in the Middle East.
00:20:36.000And I think that it's actually worthwhile to replay the footage of the people who said this sort of stuff, because perhaps you should take their opinions with a grain of salt.
00:20:46.000Perhaps you should not take them quite so seriously when they claim that they know what the hell they're talking about.
00:20:51.000If you got this one this wrong, that does raise some questions about just how seriously we ought to take you on matters of the factual.
00:21:00.000Here is just a small slice of some of the people who claimed that this entire situation, that Israel bombing the Iranian nuclear facilities or American support for that, or America doing a B-2 raid, that that was somehow going to lead to World War III.
00:21:21.000Iran is now part of a coalition that includes the biggest economies in the world and the largest militaries in the world.
00:21:28.000So a war with Iran means a war in effect or, you know, by proxy, but still a war with Russia, China, Turkey, and a lot of the rest of the world.
00:22:03.000Our foreign policy is so suborned, so much not in America's interest, so much used by the military industrial state or particular lobbies in favor of particular places.
00:22:21.000We could be yanked into war for absolutely no consequential reasons whatsoever.
00:22:29.000This war, which we do not need to fight, which is not in our interest, has the potential to be devastating to our country, let alone the region.
00:22:38.000What is the moral relativism in any of that?
00:22:41.000Do you think that we are moving toward war with Iran?
00:22:46.000And it looks like the chosen destination is indeed Armageddon.
00:22:51.000There doesn't seem to be any real appreciation for the implications for us and frankly for Europe and the world, as well as the Middle East.
00:23:00.000Whatever you put the risk at here, which if this thing keeps escalating, the risk of this going to a real ground war, another war in the war on terrorism, let me be very clear when I say this.
00:23:10.000I don't know that America will survive this.
00:23:12.000We went into the terror wars in a much stronger place than we're going into this one.
00:23:17.000And this is a much tougher opponent than Saddam Hussein or Muammadafi.
00:23:22.000We didn't go into the terror wars $37 trillion in debt.
00:23:25.000We didn't go into the terror wars with the cultural and political and racial divides.
00:23:29.000We have mass protests in the streets right now over Donald Trump trying to enforce his immigration policy.
00:23:35.000This is going to be, this has the potential to be an utter disaster.
00:23:40.000America cannot have a war with Iran, by the way.
00:24:02.000And this is a perfect way to scuttle the USS America on the shoals of Iran.
00:24:07.000These are the people who kept telling you it was going to be World War III.
00:24:09.000And there are lots of them, lots and lots of people who are telling you it was going to be World War III.
00:24:13.000Now, I just want you to note the complete and utter disconnect from reality, utter disconnect from reality.
00:24:18.000Last night, as Iran was firing its obviously pre-coordinated strike on all U-Day airbase, reported by everyone, coordinated.
00:24:28.000A vanity project in an attempt to prop up the Ayatollahs, Tucker Carlson took to the airwaves to lament the great tragedy that was befalling Qatar.
00:24:44.000Notice the deep and abiding pain he feels, apparently, at missiles that didn't hit Qatar.
00:24:50.000And notice that he did not express any of that same pain I noticed on this broadcast about a jihadi suicide bomber killing 20 Christians at an Orthodox church in Syria the same day, or any of that same sympathy for the victims of October 7th.
00:25:30.000Well, I'll just say, I just want to say it should go without saying, but I mean, I'm praying for the success of whatever America does because I'm praying for America.
00:26:10.000so honest, so humane, so truthful with his audience.
00:26:15.000I'm just going to read to you a few of Tucker Carlson's tweets about what he said would happen, not once, but over and over and over again, what he said would happen.
00:26:23.000Quote, it's worth pointing out a strike on the Iranian nuclear sites will almost certainly result in thousands of American deaths at bases throughout the Middle East and cost the United States tens of billions of dollars.
00:26:34.000The cost of future acts of terrorism on American soil may be even higher.
00:26:51.000Quote, whatever you think of tariffs, it's clear that now is the worst possible time for the United States to participate in a military strike on Iran.
00:27:12.000Anyone advocating for conflict with Iran is not an ally of the United States, but an enemy.
00:27:18.000So anyone advocating for a strike on the Iranian nuclear facilities or for just getting out of the way and letting Israel do it is an enemy of the United States, according to Tucker Carlson.
00:28:57.000Okay, Tucker Carlson saying that Donald Trump, if he decided on an airstrike on the Iranian nuclear facilities, that would amount to a profound betrayal of his supporters and would end his presidency.
00:29:07.000That may explain why so many of Trump's enemies are advocating for it.
00:29:10.000And then there's the question of the war itself, says Tucker Carlson.
00:29:12.000Iran may not have nukes, but it has a fearsome arsenal of ballistic missiles, many of which are aimed at U.S. military installations in the Gulf, as well as at our allies and at critical energy infrastructure.
00:29:21.000The first week of a war with Iran could easily kill thousands of Americans.
00:29:25.000It could also collapse our economy as surging oil prices trigger unmanageable inflation.
00:29:46.000The second week of the war could be even worse.
00:29:48.000Wait, that would have been this week, the second week of the war.
00:29:50.000Iran isn't Iraq or Libya or even North Korea.
00:29:52.000While it's often described as a rogue state, Iran has powerful allies.
00:29:56.000It's now part of a global bloc called BRICS, which represents the majority of the world's landmass population, economy, and military power.
00:30:02.000Okay, so just to point out, BRICS is an economic alliance.
00:30:33.000Because this is not the world of reality.
00:30:34.000And by the way, it is obviously a rip against the president of the United States who decided that he was not going to follow in the footsteps of this complete and utter tomfoolery.
00:30:46.000And then he says, the one thing that people like Mark Levin don't want is a peaceful solution to the problem of Iran, despite the obvious benefits to the United States.
00:30:54.000They denounce anyone who advocates for a deal as a traitor and a bigot.
00:31:20.000They would include anyone who's calling Donald Trump today to demand airstrikes and other direct U.S. military involvement in a war with Iran.
00:31:26.000So apparently you're a warmonger if you did what President Trump did or if you encouraged him to do the thing that he did.
00:31:32.000Not full-scale nationbuilding, not full-scale Iraq-style invasion, not any of that.
00:31:38.000If you told President Trump or if you said that President Trump should do the thing that he did, again, the bravest action I've seen from a president of the United States and the most successful foreign policy move of my lifetime.
00:31:49.000If you said that, according to Tucker Carlson, you hated the United States, you were actually an enemy of the American people.
00:31:58.000Now, as I said yesterday on the program, there are reasons you could theoretically steal man for opposing President Trump's strikes.
00:32:06.000Maybe there are some thorough constitutionalists who just want all American foreign policy action approved by Congress.
00:32:26.000I don't see any indicators that an Iraq war was on the horizon or that President Trump of all humans who campaigned against the Iraq war was going to enter America into one.
00:32:35.000But then there's a third group that I mentioned yesterday.
00:32:38.000People for whom intervention against the Iranian nuclear facilities was itself a supposed betrayal of MAGA.
00:32:44.000In other words, they would rather Iran have gone nuclear than that America fly a B-2 sortie at exorbitantly low risk to take out Fordo.
00:32:54.000People who declared that it was a betrayal of MAGA to do this, like Tucker Carlson.
00:33:00.000Now, all those people seem very surprised by the outcome of the 12-day war.
00:33:04.000I'm not accusing these people of being in the pay of foreign powers.
00:33:08.000I think they're promoting ideological poison all on their own.
00:33:11.000And whether these folks slather a layer of pseudo-patriotic paint on top of their neo-isolationist, Howard Zinn, blame America trash, that's irrelevant.
00:33:21.000If the guest list for your program looks like the reading list from the Democratic Socialists of America or National Students for Justice in Palestine, that's because you agree with them.
00:33:30.000And everybody should know that you agree with them.
00:34:03.000He was picked up and was prepared for deportation by the Trump administration.
00:34:09.000He, of course, had a green card, and then he claimed that his support for radical terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, well, he actually had a right to do all of that.
00:34:19.000Well, Judge ordered that he be released.
00:34:21.000The first thing that he did, this wonderful addition to American life, he didn't go back to being a productive citizen because he wasn't a productive citizen in the first place.
00:34:29.000Mahmoud Khalil instead went directly back to Columbia University to protest while wearing a Palestinian flag on the day after the president of the United States authorized the taking out of the Iranian nuclear facilities.
00:34:44.000The left was so excited because that's what they believe America needs more of, people who love terrorists and who support terrorist regimes.
00:35:08.000I'm so glad that we released this person back into the public as opposed to deporting him to a country that is more in line with his viewpoints.
00:35:17.000We definitely need to import more people like Mahmoud Khalil.
00:35:20.000Now, we should remember that he's a Syrian-born Palestinian.
00:35:23.000He came to the country in 2022 as a guest, according to Hussein Abakar Mansour, writing for the Free Press, ostensibly to study at Columbia University.
00:35:30.000While here, he spent his time organizing campus protests in support of Hamas and Hezbollah, both officially designated by the United States as foreign terrorist organizations.
00:35:39.000In these riots, buildings were vandalized, windows smashed, classes disrupted, students threatened with physical harm.
00:35:45.000Of course, had Mahmoud Khalil told the truth about why he was in the United States in the first place when he was applying for a visa, he never would have been let in.
00:35:52.000The Trump administration decided to revoke his green card.
00:35:56.000He served as the negotiator for the Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a student organization that cheered for the total eradication of Western civilization.
00:36:05.000Now, again, this is the left celebrating people like Mahmoud Khalil.
00:36:12.000And it is the left that has made room in its coalition for groups like the National Students for Justice in Palestine.
00:36:19.000They released a statement on the bombing of the Iranian nuclear sites.
00:36:23.000Quote, we must be clear, nuclear development is neither a crime nor the reason for the U.S.'s war against Iran.
00:36:29.000The U.S. Empire cannot permit the continued existence of a country that dares to stand against Zionism and imperialism.
00:36:36.000And they called for the end of the United States.
00:36:39.000Quote, for nearly 50 years, the United States and its Zionist vassal state have attempted to dismantle the sovereign state of Iran since the start of the joint U.S.-Zionist genocide in Gaza.
00:36:48.000Now, again, it's not a genocide in Gaza by any stretch of the imagination.
00:36:51.000Right now, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is handing out literally tons of food every single day, and Hamas is shooting members of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in order to try and stop them from disintermediating Hamas, which was stealing all the aid.
00:37:05.000According to the Students for Justice in Palestine, the Zionist entity has taken every opportunity to escalate these attacks on Iran's government, infrastructure, and civilians, most recently slaughtering over 400 Iranians and injuring thousands more in the past week alone.
00:37:16.000That's the slaughter, not Iran willy-nilly shooting ballistic missiles into populated areas, Israel doing targeted strikes on military facilities.
00:37:29.000And the Students for Justice in Palestine then suggested that the proper solution would essentially be the destruction of the United States.
00:37:40.000They said, quote, the domestic repression against immigrant communities and political activity in the U.S. parallels the country's increasingly hostile and erratic global stance.
00:37:47.000War crimes against Iran and the rapid militarization and expansion of the police state are both expressions of the same condition in empire in crisis.
00:37:55.000We reaffirm our commitment to the struggle against Zionism and the global struggle against imperialism from Gaza to Tehran.
00:38:02.000Okay, so why do I bring up National Students for Justice in Palestine?
00:38:05.000Because the current possible frontrunner in the race for New York City mayor is a person named Zoran Mamdani.
00:38:14.000Zoran Mamdani was a founder of a local chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine because that's who he is.
00:38:23.000He co-founded his school's chapter while at college at Bodolem.
00:38:27.000For years, according to National Review, Mamdani has been a vocal supporter of the boycott divestment and sanctions movement designed to academically and intellectually isolate Israelis and Zionist Jews from Western scientific discourse.
00:38:39.000In 2017, he recorded a rap song sending his love to the Holy Land Five, those would be the leaders of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, convicted in 2008 of providing material support for terrorism to Hamas.
00:38:53.000And when October 7th happened, he called for ending the occupation and dismantling apartheid.
00:38:57.000Nothing about the actual victims of October 7th.
00:38:59.000This is the Person who, according to the brand new Emerson polling, is the front runner in the ranked choice voting in the New York Democratic primary tracking.
00:39:09.000Again, according to Emerson, the final Emerson College polling, Hill Survey of New York City Democratic Mayor primary, which happens today, finds former Governor Andrew Cuomo leading with 35% support, followed closely by Zorn Mamdani at 32%.
00:39:24.000Comptroller Brad Lander, who got himself arrested over immigration to try and grab some headlines, is at 13%.
00:39:30.000However, when you actually complete the ranked choice voting, and again, the way ranked choice voting works is that you have a list of candidates and you actually list them in order of preference.
00:39:40.000And if your top candidate is, say, Brad Lander and your second candidate is Zorin Mamdani and Lander gets knocked out in the first round, then your vote now counts for Mamdani.
00:39:49.000So the ranked choice voting simulation over eight rounds ends with Mamdani at 52% and Cuomo at 48%.
00:39:57.000Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, says, quote, over five months, Mamdani's support has surged from 1 to 32% while Cuomo finishes near where he began.
00:40:06.000In the ranked choice simulation, Mam Dani gauge 18 points compared to Cuomo's 12, putting him ahead in the final round for the first time in an Emerson poll.
00:40:14.000Voters who have already cast their ballots during New York City's early voting period break for Mam Dani.
00:40:18.000He currently holds a 10-point lead over Cuomo, 41% to 31%.
00:40:23.000In contrast, among those who plan to vote on election day or have not yet voted at the time of the survey, Cuomo leads with 36%, followed by Mamdani at 31%.
00:40:32.000This is how psychotic Democrats have become.
00:40:34.000This is a Democratic primary, of course.
00:40:36.000The current mayor, Eric Adams, is not running as a Democrat.
00:40:50.000This is a man who has taken full-scale nationalization of the groceries positions.
00:40:57.000And when it comes to the Middle East, again, I say President Trump has made it so the Democrats will now embrace legitimately the worst people on earth.
00:41:05.000Zor Mamdani is one of these people, and he has nothing but love for all the enemies of the United States.
00:41:14.000So how did he respond to the news that President Trump had struck the Iranian nuclear facilities?
00:41:18.000Quote, these actions are the results of a political establishment that would rather spend trillions of dollars on weapons than lift millions out of poverty, launch endless wars while silencing calls for peace and fearmonger about outsiders while billionaires hollow out our democracy from within.
00:41:33.000Andrew Cuomo, by contrast, said, quote, Iran cannot have a nuclear capability.
00:42:11.000And Democrats in New York believe this person should be mayor, this spoiled brat, beneficiary of America at every possible level, who believes that America is deeply evil, exploitative, and genocidal in its pursuit of foreign policy.
00:42:26.000This one should become mayor of New York.
00:42:29.000This one should become mayor of New York.
00:44:00.000People need to have actual houses to live in.
00:44:02.000People need to have actual schools that they can go to.
00:44:04.000And I think it's so critical that this journey into understanding the way in which we should relate to power, this journey in understanding that it is socialism that we are fighting for, is a journey that should begin as soon as possible for every single person in this country and in this world.
00:44:19.000It's deep thoughts like you can't eat words.
00:44:21.000That does lead to nationalization and government control of the means of production and generally the slaughter of millions of people.
00:44:30.000So probably that person should be mayor.
00:44:32.000Also, the kind of person who should be mayor is the kind of person who believes that the New York Police Department should be removed from high crime areas, a contention he made just a couple of years ago.
00:44:41.000If you're having an argument with someone and there's a risk of it escalating, who is better positioned to de-escalate it?
00:44:47.000Someone who is well-known in the community, or someone who has been trained specifically in de-escalation, or a stranger who has a gun?
00:44:55.000And we see so many situations where encounters with police, the police arrive, and all of a sudden the tension rises even astronomically.
00:45:04.000The answer is to try and find a non-carceral solution.
00:45:09.000Community service, something where they learn from their mistakes, there's a sense of accountability and growth, all these kinds of things, which for many people in this country, especially black people, are not offered the same opportunity.
00:45:37.000Again, unbelievable, except that it's all too believable.
00:45:40.000The young Democrats, the most rabid Democrats out there, believe that the traditional Democratic Party has not done enough to push the country in a wild leftward direction.
00:45:49.000They believe that Joe Biden was actually too right-wing, that Kamala Harris was too moderate, that what you need is full-scale transing of the children, full-scale support for terrorist organizations, at least rhetorically, a cutoff to all of America's allies on the foreign policy front, that you need to undercut the police and make it absolutely unlivable to live in America's major cities, that universities should essentially just be breeding grounds for radicalism.
00:46:12.000Here was Zoran Mamdani, again, your polling frontrunner in the New York City Democratic primary for mayor, defending the Columbia University protesters who were tearing up the campus.
00:46:22.000I think these students have actually forced many of us to reckon with what's happening there, because for too many Americans, this has been something that is actually getting out of view.
00:46:31.000An example is that when students renamed the hall in Columbia from Hamilton Hall to Hind Hall, they were honoring a six-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed in her car watching as her parents had been killed by the Israeli military prior.
00:46:45.000And for so many Americans, that was a name that they hadn't heard until these students made it one.
00:46:50.000So apparently, according to him, the Columbia University students, as they illegally took over the quad and broke windows and took over libraries and prevented people from actually being able to learn at the campuses, they were doing an amazing job.
00:47:02.000And by the way, if it were up to him, there wouldn't be any police to respond to calls to stop the criminality anyway.
00:47:08.000In fact, he believed that the New York City Police Department and the IDF share tactics of oppression.
00:47:16.000It's also that our city and state governments have partnerships with Israeli municipalities and the state, and that we can hold our governments accountable by really going after those partnerships and really spotlighting them and with the goal of dismantling them.
00:47:37.000I think that when I think of partnerships, I think of how the NYPD and the IDF have had a relationship for many years, a relationship that has meant tactics of oppression crossing from one country to the other.
00:47:53.000I mean, this is the kind of person, again, it beggars the imagination, but it really doesn't.
00:47:58.000Because, of course, Democrats have elected Mayor Brandon Johnson in Chicago.
00:48:01.000You have the 9% approval rating, who has decided that police work is actually just too much for him.
00:48:07.000And so instead, he'll let the city completely fall apart.
00:48:09.000Democrats elected in Los Angeles, Karen Bass, who's presided over not one massive fire, but two, given the riots that broke into conflagration just a couple of weeks ago.
00:48:19.000Democrats continue in major cities around America to at least put their money where their mouth is.
00:48:23.000And so, you know, I got to hand it to him.
00:49:04.000He literally called for city-owned grocery stores because he believes that it's the profit motive that is quote-unquote starving Americans.
00:49:36.000The profit motive in American grocery stores is what has created the vast bevy of goods at American grocery stores.
00:49:44.000Quite famously, when Khrushchev came to the United States in the 1950s and he met with Richard Nixon, who is the vice president of the United States, and he saw the wide bevy and variety of goods that were available for Americans, he was stunned.
00:50:00.000And that was true for every Soviet who came to the United States.
00:50:03.000Cuban emigres who escaped the Cuban oppression under Castro would go to grocery stores and be blown away at the kinds of things that are available.
00:50:12.000But Zoro Mamdani somehow thinks that that is the bug, not the feature of American public life.
00:50:18.000He's also the kind of person who yells at Tom Homan over immigration.
00:50:41.000But again, he saves his best performances for when he's called an anti-Semite because, of course, he is.
00:50:45.000Here he was just the other day, shedding crocodile tears over being called an anti-Semite after suggesting that the state of Israel should be disestablished as a Jewish state.
00:50:55.000I get messages that say the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim.
00:51:01.000I get threats on my life, on the people that I love.
00:51:35.000And the thing that's made me proudest in this campaign is that the strength of our movement is built on our ability to have built something across Jewish and Muslim workers, across the workers of all faiths, of all backgrounds, in all boroughs.
00:51:52.000And anti-Semitism is such a real issue in the city.
00:51:57.000And it has been hard to see it weaponized by candidates who do not seem to have any sincere interest in tackling it, but rather in using it as a pretext to make political points.
00:52:11.000it's just that if you're worried about anti-Semitism, it's a pretext to make political points, he says.
00:52:15.000Again, I'm kind of rooting for you guys.
00:52:49.000I'm spending a lot of money buying up all the luxury real estate because I know that the prices are going to be going up as you guys squeeze everyone with half a brain out of your city.
00:52:58.000Ron DeSantis, for what it's worth, tweeted something very similar yesterday.
00:53:03.000Governor DeSantis tweeted out, quote, just when he thought Palm Beach real estate couldn't go any higher.
00:54:33.000Points for honesty for this entire crew.
00:54:38.000And this sort of attitude is quite widespread in Europe, of course.
00:54:43.000I was in Rome this week meeting with the Pope.
00:54:45.000There were some fairly major protests in Rome, once again, against Israel, against America.
00:54:51.000Lots of anti-Semitic graffiti all around the city.
00:54:54.000Not a giant shock because too many Europeans have decided that civilizational suicide is actually some form of moral good sense.
00:55:04.000And if New Yorkers decide to do the same thing this week, well, I suppose more power to them, but they're going to learn the hard way that actually the city doesn't operate without the actual productive members of society who you are driving out before you.
00:55:17.000Already coming up, we're going to jump into that.
