I want to give you a couple of um uh pieces of audio here from the FBI yesterday during a press conference after the shooting at Old Dominion University. Uh the FBI gave an update. Uh and here is cut one from the FBI on the terrorist shooter at Old Dominion, Virginia.
I can tell you that we have confirmed reports that prior to him conducting this act of terrorism, he shouted Allah or stated Allah Akbar. Um, and he was formerly a uh subject of a FBI investigation in material supporting terrorism.
I'd like to know when that actually happened. Was that under the Biden administration or the Trump administration? Because uh I know that one administration likes to excuse people who are like, "Oh, well, you know, they're not really terrorists." I'd like to know exactly what happened to that investigation from the FBI. When it happened will tell us an awful lot.
Um and here is the FBI again on the students, the ROC that uh stopped the shooter. Listen.
Uh the there were students were in that room that subdued him and uh rendered him no longer alive. I don't know how else to say it, but they basically were able to terminate the threat.
So, he was not shot.
He was not shot.
He shot three people.
Uh, correct. We have information that he shot three people.
Um, and he's no longer alive. Amen.
Um, now in uh Michigan, we had another terrorist attack, this time on a synagogue. And I'm going to later talk to you about what happened there and how the media, New York Times, MSNBC or whatever the hell they're calling it now. Um, what they are now saying, who's responsible. And I'll give you I'll give you two guesses, Jews and Republicans. If that's what you guessed, you're absolutely right. We'll get into that here in a minute.
But I I I want to spend some minutes being very very clear on something because you are now going to start hearing blame on this um all these terror attacks cuz more are coming and all these terror attacks, you know, they didn't have to happen, yada yada yada. So, let me be very clear. Please hear me, America. Please hear me on this.
The war in Iran did not begin yesterday. Yesterday was a pivot point and I'll explain in a minute. But it didn't begin, you know, with Donald Trump declaring war. It didn't with the latest missile strike or the intelligence briefings or the latest headlines scrolling across your phone. That's not when it started. This war began in 1979 when the Shaw fell and the Marxist students gathered with the Islamists. They worked together to destabilize Iran and overthrow the country of Iran. When the diplomats were blindfolded from America and marched uh through the gates of the embassy and they held them there for 444 days, that's when this started. From that moment forward, Iran declared something really simple and they've been shouting it and chanting it in their streets since 1979. Death to America. They chanted it.
And every president from Reagan to Bush to Clinton, all of them, even those those who were just candidates, including Hillary Clinton and Al Gore, have all said the same thing. Iran is the central engine of terror in the modern world. They are a death cult. And all of them have said on both sides of the aisle, if it's not stopped, the day will come when we're going to face a nuclear armed Iran.
The diagnosis has been delivered by doctor after doctor that the American people have hired and it's the same thing. And I think those doctors, those presidents have all in their own way been a little bit cowardice. And maybe they they made the decision. I'm not going to say that they were cowards. They they didn't have the guts to pull the trigger because they thought there were other options on the table. And the American people said, "Well, maybe it's not that serious."
Okay, I'm going to be the doctor that you don't want to hear from today. I'm sorry. Islamism, this revolutionary apocalyptic ideology that is behind the Iranian regime is cancer. Islamism is cancer. And just like cancer, at first you may not notice it. You you can dismiss the early symptoms. You can tell yourself that you're just tired or, you know, I maybe that lump was there before. Whatever it is, you tend to go into denial. Maybe you even begin to blame your own habits. Maybe I caused this. I've smoked my whole life. I didn't eat right. I I I I'm just probably overreacting. All of these things. That's normal to happen.
But cancer does not care about your denial. In fact, it's its favorite environment to grow in. While you're denying it, it continues to grow. And it grows while you argue whether or not it even exists. And it spreads as you debate with yourself whose fault is it. It feeds while you reassure yourself that everything is still basically normal. All the while, it's doing one thing. It is eating the healthy parts of your body. It is taking it cell by cell, slowly, quietly, patiently. It is just eating.
And one day you go to the doctor and the doctor looks at the scan and says something that you never ever want to hear. It's no longer isolated. It's everywhere. At that point, you have a choice to make. And that's the pivot point. That's where we are right now. It is everywhere. And so now your options change. Okay. The treatment has to change. It's no longer a simple surgery that you could have had a few years ago. It's something much much harsher. It becomes radical because the cancer has become radical. So now you need chemotherapy and radiation and radical invasive surgery. None of these are good. None of these are going to make you feel good. But it's designed to purge the body of something that is eating you from the inside out. And each of the treatments are brutal.
But let me just concentrate on one. Let me just talk to you about chemo. Let me liken chemo to what we're facing right now. This war and the effects of it. Okay. So war is the chemo that we're putting it putting through. The hair falling out is the terror attacks that you're seeing. Now you have a choice. Are we going to treat this or not? Are we just going to deny that it was really a problem? But really the choice is this. Do you want to live or not? Because when the cancer becomes this bad, that is the choice. Do you want to live or do you want to just live your remaining days feeling good, but they're going to be short days.
Chemo will weaken you. And it is. It will weaken us. It will make you sick. We'll have protests in the streets. will be arguing with each other. We will deplete our armed forces. It's going to make us weaker. It will lose we will lose hair. All kinds of effects that we really don't want. We'll be vomiting all the time. Those things are the terror attacks that are happening. And you will feel worse during the treatment. And then some people will say, which in a very narrow sense is absolutely true. You know what? We were better off before the chemo started. That's absolutely true. You were kind of kind of you were dying, but you were feeling better. But if you wouldn't have done anything, you were dead. In a very short period of time, you'd be dead.
Now, it it doesn't matter. Um, and it may even piss the patient off when the doctor like I come in come in and tell the truth. But here's the truth. None of this had to happen. We didn't have to do this. I've been I've been on the air for 50 years. So, I've been on the air. In fact, uh it was I was on the air a couple of years before we went into or before they took our hostages in Iran. I've been talking about Iran forever. And if we would have done the things at the time we should have, none of this would have happened. But now we have no good options left. There's nothing. It's death or this. And that's where we are.
And this confrontation is not a sudden war. Okay? It's 47 years of ignored warnings finally reaching the stage where the disease can no longer be contained with polite diplomacy and hopeful secrets. And so the side effects are ugly. There will be retaliation. There will be terror. There will be more terror attempts and more terror. There will be economic shocks. Okay? But we weren't better than we were before we started the treatment. We were just in denial. and the effects of it being in every organ of our body was just starting to show signs of a problem. But if you waited and continued to do nothing, it would kill us for sure.
Now, what would have happened if Ronald Reagan, one of my heroes, would have gone in and said Beirut nothing and punished them at that point? He didn't. He said, "We can negotiate. We can do all kinds of things. The tumor was small. We'll try other things. We chose to delay. We chose negotiations for the last 47 years without consequence. We chose sanctions without enforcement. We chose to hope that cancer just might stop growing. It would choose to stop growing. Cancer never makes that decision because cancer to live must feed on something. And so it spread through Hezbollah and Hamas and the Houthis, through militias in Iraq and Syria, now in our universities, now in our media. It's infected every organization, our government. It's in our neighborhoods. It's in many of American mosques. It's here, gang. And it is the most radical form of cancer. And the body of Western civilization has a long history of fighting this kind of cancer. And so we have a long history of knowing what happens if it goes untreated.
So yes, what comes next is going to make you vomit. It's going to make your hair fall out. It's going to make you feel like crap. It's going to be painful. And here's the thing you really don't want to hear. And because we waited so long, we may die anyway. But if the body has a chance of survival, it must be cut out completely. and every cell. Well, you know, when the surgeons go in for surgery like this, when they're when they think they're finished, they leave the body open and they say, "Send everything out and let's look at the margins." And then they get it back. Did they cut everything? Because if there's one cell of the cancer left behind, it grows back and it grows stronger, more aggressive, and more determined and you're in the same situation.
This is where we're at now, America. This is it. This is what history is demanding of Western civilization right now. Not denial, not de delay, not pretending the diagnosis is wrong or never came. Not pretending that cancer maybe isn't so bad. Doctors have warned us for 40 years. The patient is finally open on the operating table. And like it or not, the time for debate is over.
Here's my change. I have told you this is, you know, I I'm not going to I'm not trying to sway you and I'm still not trying to sway you, but I have I have not been clear where I stood today after the terror attacks yesterday. I'm very clear. I'm very clear. The body is open. The surgery has begun. Whether you were for the surgery or against the surgery, the body is on the table and the surgeons have their hands and their scalpels in and they are cutting the cancer out.
This isn't exploratory surgery. You know, back when I was growing up before we had CAT scans and everything else, you had exploratory surgery where they just cut somebody open. We think he might have cancer. Cut them open. The worst thing that would happen is the surgery would be very short and the doctor would come out and say, "We just sewed him back up. It's too far gone." Okay, we we're already in the surgery. We know exactly how bad this cancer is. We're not exploring to see how bad. We know how bad it is. And this might sound like a justification uh for war, but it is not. It is a justification for getting all of the margins. You already have the body open, so it doesn't matter.
Do you think it gets better or worse if we now sew the body back up? Do you think they learn the lesson of, "Oh, we better not screw with America." Or do they learn the lesson, you just hit them and they're such cowards. They're so weak. They will never come for us. It doesn't go away. It only reinforces what Reagan sent in Beirut. It only gets worse. And we're all in denial if we think we didn't know exactly what we're dealing with.
My question to you today is, are we really at the point in our country where we have family members, our brothers and sisters, saying, "Stop the surgery, sew him back up, and let him die." Are we really in that place? Or can we find ourselves growing back into a nation that is strong enough to say this patient is worth saving? It's worth the radical steps that we have to take and the pain we will endure because life, this life is worth saving. That's your choice. America.
