Tonight I want to compare two villains, the head mullah in Iran to Putin. So my upcoming book, Confronting Evil, which will be out September 9th, has Putin on the front cover along with the Ayatollah Khomeini, the original mullah. He's dead now, okay, overthrew the Shah. They're on the cover along with Adolf Hitler and Mao Zedong.
And then in the book, there are eight other evil guys. I tried to find a woman, but I could not find one feminine presence as evil as these people I have in the book. And they're all men. We look, boy, do we look. You know, there are a lot of evil women in the world, but nothing like the guys. So you got 14 guys in the book. All right.
So now the leader, the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran is Qahmani. And he is the Ayatollah. Qahmani died, Qahmani is there. Now this guy has six associates. They're all Muslim clerics, all fanatics, all killers.
Okay, but he's the guy he's the dictator and then they consult with this so-called Guardian Council and what they consult about is a how to suppress their own people the Persian people you step out of line You're in a concentration camp. Okay, you're gay. They'll throw you off a building you commit adultery. They might kill you You steal they might cut off your hand. Okay. This is a brutal society. Okay
And they distribute billions of dollars to terrorists all around the world. Hamas funded by Iran, Hezbollah funded by Iran, Houthis funded by Iran, Shia militia in Iraq still trying to undermine our government funded by Iran. Syria, Assad, Bashir Assad's group that he was overthrown, Iraq behind it. On and on and on, billions, billions, billions, billions.
go from the Treasury of Iran, and Iran is not a wealthy country, I mean, you know, if you go there, most people are very poor, to hiring killers. That's what they do. They hire killers. Now, after Trump bombed them, the Ayatollah couldn't make a ceasefire proposal quick enough. Remember that? What was it, 48 hours?
First it was, oh, we're going to get you. And then it was, nah, we want to cease fire. I don't even think Netanyahu wanted to cease fire, but he had to go along with it. So why? Why did they fold so fast? Because the Ayatollah himself is going to get his head cut off. That's why. He's a coward. And so are the other six. They're cowards. And they'll farm out murder and mayhem to terrorists because they're not doing it.
They're not in the tunnel of Gaza. They're just paying for the Hamas murderers. They are all cowards. They knew if these bombings continued that the army was going to overthrow them and execute them. That's what was going to happen. So they said, OK, no, we're going to stop now. Now, that doesn't mean it's going to stop forever. They still got money, thanks to Joe Biden, a lot of it, and Barack Obama to some extent.
They can still cause mayhem and give it to the terrorists. But the terrorists are on the run now. I mean, Hamas has almost destroyed Hezbollah, almost destroyed UDs on the run. And this is because Trump took a very aggressive posture. But the main point I want to get across to all our viewers all over the world is that the Iranian mullahs are cowards. Okay? All right. Now let's shift to Putin.
so putin is an interesting guy and we investigated putin really thoroughly for the book um and he is total dictator in russia 72 years old okay born in leningrad from the time vladimir putin was 12 years old he was a killer that's hard to believe isn't it his father was a brutal man and beat him his son vladimir up
and his mother, and it was a horror. And Putin couldn't really live in the house, so he went to the streets and he formed a gang. And you read all about this in Confronting Evil. And the gang was so violent, and these were kids, you know, 12, 14, 15, in that range, that the whole communist housing block in Leningrad feared these kids.
You get on the wrong side of them, they take you out. That's Putin's background. Then he works his way up into the KGB and he's sent to East Germany where he oversees the dismantling of communism. And he was teed off. And I'm not going to tell you anymore because I want you to read the book, but Putin never accepted it for a second.
And he was brutal. They had a torture chamber two floors down from Putin's office. He could hear the screams of the people he ordered to be tortured in East Germany. Putin, though, himself, is not a coward. He'll face the fire. And I have one incident that we write about. You'll see that. He's not. Now, President Trump
misread Putin. In his first term, Trump had Putin in a, let's put it this way, they had an arrangement. I don't know exactly what the arrangement was, but it was that Trump somewhat would support the Russian economy,
And Putin would not embarrass Trump by invading Crimea. He did that under Obama and causing trouble elsewhere in the world. Putin did cause trouble.
But it was at a lower level. Once Biden got in, all restraints were off because Putin considered Biden a coward and had no respect for the man at all and did exactly what he wanted, which is how the Ukraine war started. Now, when Trump was running, he was convinced that he was going to be able to get Vlad back into the arrangement category that he had the first time around. No, because Putin's a different man now.
He's a true psychopath. He enjoys inflicting death and destruction. Do you realize that there are millions of casualties in Ukraine? Millions, including one million on the Russian side. And tens of millions of people have been displaced, had to leave their homes. Homes don't even exist anymore in some cases. And for what? For what? Because Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union?
He's a psychopath. He enjoys this, Putin. Okay? Human life means nothing to him. Now, he guards his own life. He doesn't want to be killed, but he's not a coward. On his dock on the Black Sea, where he spends the summers, Putin has submarines guarding the waterway, and then he's got a bunker that could withstand any attack.
nuclear assault. The thing is like acres and acres and acres of buildings where Vlad hangs out in the summer when he's in Moscow and he wants to move to, you know, from the Kremlin to his private residence. All traffic stops. Nobody moves while he's making his exit or entrance. He's got that lockdown boy.
And so he doesn't want to die, but he'll kill anybody at any time and enjoy it. And there have been he loves Stalin. Stalin did that. Stalin, life meant nothing to him. OK, and Putin loves Stalin. So I thought you'd appreciate that comparison between the mullahs and Stalin.
