WEBVTT 00:00:01.799 --> 00:00:06.160 Okay, everybody, I have a guest that's coming 00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:10.220 on the show today. He is actually coming from 00:00:10.220 --> 00:00:14.859 inside Iran right now with everything that's 00:00:14.859 --> 00:00:17.300 going on in the world right now. I thought it 00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:19.140 was really important to get somebody that is 00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:21.899 on the inside of the country after they had the 00:00:21.899 --> 00:00:23.579 internet blackouts and everything else that's 00:00:23.579 --> 00:00:27.539 there. So he decided he agreed to come on, but 00:00:27.539 --> 00:00:31.690 he's not going to. Open up his camera for obviously 00:00:31.690 --> 00:00:34.890 purposes because he doesn't want to conceal his 00:00:34.890 --> 00:00:40.030 identity. So that's fine. So Without further 00:00:40.030 --> 00:00:46.750 ado What's up, man? How you been doing? Hi, thanks. 00:00:46.890 --> 00:00:52.429 Thank you for Being the voice of us in Iran. 00:00:52.670 --> 00:00:56.770 I thank you very much Sorry for my poor English. 00:00:57.189 --> 00:01:01.359 I'm Not really proficient in speaking English. 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.900 But I followed your news about Iran and I'm really 00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:15.180 grateful for your work. I appreciate it. I'm 00:01:15.180 --> 00:01:17.099 really thankful that you decided to come on the 00:01:17.099 --> 00:01:22.819 show, man, really. I'm really sorry. It's not 00:01:22.819 --> 00:01:29.090 really safe in here. Closer one, the close people 00:01:29.090 --> 00:01:33.250 to me are not really safe people. I don't know 00:01:33.250 --> 00:01:39.810 if you understand what I mean. But my friends, 00:01:39.890 --> 00:01:42.349 my acquaintances, they are not safe people either. 00:01:42.569 --> 00:01:49.349 Really? You feel like you can't trust them is 00:01:49.349 --> 00:01:55.180 what you're saying? There is... you can't trust 00:01:55.180 --> 00:02:00.079 anyone right now in Iran because everyone can 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:07.299 be a mercenary for the government and they can 00:02:07.299 --> 00:02:14.479 sell you over to the government with a little 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:20.159 screenshot or even just your voice they sell 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:24.430 you really cheap and Nobody is safe, no one is 00:02:24.430 --> 00:02:30.449 safe. And right now the only safe person that 00:02:30.449 --> 00:02:37.310 people can trust is just King Reza Pahlavi. That's 00:02:37.310 --> 00:02:41.969 for obvious reasons. He's the only safe person 00:02:41.969 --> 00:02:49.139 that we Iranians know. Yeah, I was going to ask 00:02:49.139 --> 00:02:52.580 you about that. That is the only name that I 00:02:52.580 --> 00:03:00.000 seem to hear that comes from the people. His 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:07.539 father was the previous king of Iran. And the 00:03:07.539 --> 00:03:12.719 Ayatollahs, the Khomeini, when they came, they, 00:03:12.979 --> 00:03:20.050 how should I say? They really didn't like what 00:03:20.050 --> 00:03:23.150 the king did for Iran. He did really great things. 00:03:23.449 --> 00:03:29.629 He made universities in Iran. His father served 00:03:29.629 --> 00:03:33.490 people really well. And Ayatollahs really didn't 00:03:33.490 --> 00:03:38.550 like that. And wanted Islamic regime. They wanted 00:03:38.550 --> 00:03:42.889 this ideology to be spread to the world. I don't 00:03:42.889 --> 00:03:52.300 know why. But they... exiled the king and now 00:03:52.300 --> 00:03:57.259 we only know his son the only person that logically 00:03:57.259 --> 00:04:08.639 hates yeah and if I'm not mistaken didn't he 00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:17.829 have he had two sons didn't he Do you have my 00:04:17.829 --> 00:04:19.829 voice? I think the internet is starting to break 00:04:19.829 --> 00:04:28.990 up. Do you have my voice? Yeah, you just came 00:04:28.990 --> 00:04:31.810 back. You went off for a few seconds there. Yeah, 00:04:31.829 --> 00:04:37.089 sorry. The situation of internet is like this. 00:04:37.569 --> 00:04:43.329 Yeah, obviously. Where I was? What I was saying? 00:04:45.050 --> 00:04:47.649 You were talking about how the Islamic regime 00:04:47.649 --> 00:04:52.490 exiled the king. Yeah, and they exiled the king 00:04:52.490 --> 00:04:58.949 and obviously his son is the only person who 00:04:58.949 --> 00:05:03.449 is safe because he saw his father get exiled 00:05:03.449 --> 00:05:10.189 and murdered by this regime. So that's logically 00:05:10.189 --> 00:05:15.990 the only safe option for us Iranians. Yeah. And 00:05:15.990 --> 00:05:24.589 didn't he have multiple sons? I don't think so. 00:05:24.689 --> 00:05:31.649 I only have heard his name. And I think it's 00:05:31.649 --> 00:05:35.769 pretty reasonable why ordinary people don't know 00:05:35.769 --> 00:05:38.949 about his son because they never thought about 00:05:38.949 --> 00:05:44.279 that in schools and they never let us know. what 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:49.839 that actually was like they didn't like Iranians 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:57.720 to know what it was in Pahlavi's era yeah that's 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.199 insane man you really gotta think about that 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.540 they That's exactly what they would do, huh? 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:06.259 Growing up there in the schools, they would erase 00:06:06.259 --> 00:06:09.620 the entire history of the Shah and everything 00:06:09.620 --> 00:06:12.379 that happened before the pro -Islamic regime. 00:06:12.459 --> 00:06:19.199 Is that right? Yeah, they really filter the history 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:26.100 and censor it as they like. And they just say 00:06:26.100 --> 00:06:31.709 the Islam is right. Muhammad is right, they teach 00:06:31.709 --> 00:06:36.310 us the history about 1400 years ago about what 00:06:36.310 --> 00:06:41.810 Muhammad did but never truly taught us what it 00:06:41.810 --> 00:06:46.449 was like in our ancient history, what it was 00:06:46.449 --> 00:06:51.029 like in real Iranian history. They thought about 00:06:51.029 --> 00:06:57.290 us about hundreds of years ago. Arabistan or 00:06:57.290 --> 00:07:02.589 what Arabs did, but not Iranians. Yeah, that 00:07:02.589 --> 00:07:05.470 is crazy, man. So you guys never were taught 00:07:05.470 --> 00:07:11.930 about King Cyrus or any of that? Not as profoundly 00:07:11.930 --> 00:07:16.069 as we were thought about Islam. Yes, they say 00:07:16.069 --> 00:07:20.930 its name, but they not really teach us what Cyrus 00:07:20.930 --> 00:07:24.569 the Great did. They never taught us and never... 00:07:25.019 --> 00:07:29.680 said out loud that cyrus the great freed jews 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:33.800 they never thought anything they you know they 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:37.920 just want their ideology to be spread and don't 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:42.939 like any other information to be spread yeah 00:07:42.939 --> 00:07:46.759 that is insane man because so it's like because 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.139 you know for people that like live in the united 00:07:49.139 --> 00:07:53.069 states or outside of a tyrant regime like that, 00:07:53.129 --> 00:07:56.870 you're so used to having such a vast array of 00:07:56.870 --> 00:07:58.889 information from different sides that it's almost 00:07:58.889 --> 00:08:02.029 hard to put yourself, your mindset in a place 00:08:02.029 --> 00:08:05.269 where you have to really realize that it's so 00:08:05.269 --> 00:08:08.209 much deeper than them just promoting what they're 00:08:08.209 --> 00:08:12.189 doing now or the pro regime that's in charge 00:08:12.189 --> 00:08:14.949 now. It's that they go back and from the time 00:08:14.949 --> 00:08:18.100 that you're born. your whole life going up through 00:08:18.100 --> 00:08:21.180 the schools and everything, they almost completely 00:08:21.180 --> 00:08:24.060 block out anything that's even happened in the 00:08:24.060 --> 00:08:26.639 past that's contradictory to what they're saying 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.439 now. So as in, you know, for the Persian Empire 00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.659 and Cyrus and all that, that's one of the greatest 00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:35.799 empires that's ever existed on the planet. So 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.539 it's kind of crazy to think that they were not 00:08:38.539 --> 00:08:41.470 only just able to take over this whole... country 00:08:41.470 --> 00:08:44.210 and people, but they actually tried to separate 00:08:44.210 --> 00:08:47.309 the people themselves from their entire history 00:08:47.309 --> 00:08:50.490 of everything they've ever been. That is crazy, 00:08:50.769 --> 00:08:59.389 man. Yeah, I know. And that's happening. Yeah, 00:08:59.529 --> 00:09:06.789 that is wild. Sorry in the middle of your talk, 00:09:06.909 --> 00:09:10.909 but the only thing that this regime thought was 00:09:10.909 --> 00:09:15.769 great I can say that 100 % every Iranian know 00:09:15.769 --> 00:09:19.450 greatly about that is what Muhammad did what 00:09:19.450 --> 00:09:25.809 Quran said and that's why we a lot of not all 00:09:25.809 --> 00:09:30.210 Iranians but that's why a lot of Iranians don't 00:09:30.210 --> 00:09:33.549 like Islam anymore because we experienced it 00:09:33.549 --> 00:09:40.460 we I myself read Quran translation of it in Persian 00:09:40.460 --> 00:09:44.320 because obviously we are not Arabs and we don't 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:50.740 understand Arabic really well but as we read 00:09:50.740 --> 00:09:55.840 Quran and as we read history we came to conclusion 00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:59.960 that this isn't right and there is something 00:09:59.960 --> 00:10:06.759 wrong in here that is a powerful conclusion to 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.059 come to because that's exactly what it is so 00:10:09.059 --> 00:10:11.600 that's that's what i've been hearing too from 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.220 a lot of other people is that it feels like it's 00:10:15.220 --> 00:10:18.419 not just a revolution against the specific regime 00:10:18.419 --> 00:10:21.919 now but against the idea of islam reigning over 00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:30.820 an entire government as well yes there's i hear 00:10:30.820 --> 00:10:35.440 people say if you read quran you will be you 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.299 will like to be a muslim and you will like to 00:10:39.299 --> 00:10:44.360 be coming to islam but that's 100 percent wrong 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:49.259 i experienced it myself i read quran myself and 00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:53.639 i was muslim we all iranians we bore muslim literally 00:10:53.639 --> 00:11:02.899 because as we bore they write us as Muslim in 00:11:02.899 --> 00:11:09.940 every documentation in this country and I started 00:11:09.940 --> 00:11:14.539 reading and my friends started reading and whoever 00:11:14.539 --> 00:11:18.759 is now against Islam started reading Quran and 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:24.200 that's why we are against Islam Yeah, so against 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.259 Islam because of Islam itself, because of what 00:11:28.259 --> 00:11:35.620 the Quran itself teaches. Yes. Not because you've 00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:40.340 been propagandized or by Jewish Zionist propaganda 00:11:40.340 --> 00:11:42.659 like a lot of people that are against the revolution 00:11:42.659 --> 00:11:46.120 Iran keep trying to claim that it's not an organic 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.240 revolution, that the people there don't really 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:51.000 want to rebel against it. It's just... the jews 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.039 and the americans that are trying to push some 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:58.200 sort of narrative to the people our only propaganda 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.620 was muhammad itself i can say yeah exactly so 00:12:03.620 --> 00:12:11.360 um i was gonna say so have you like how much 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:19.720 of the country is in an upheaval right now There 00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:28.179 are a lot, I can say, more than 80 % of people 00:12:28.179 --> 00:12:35.240 are against this regime. A lot of people say 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:40.139 more than 90%, but in my surroundings, in my 00:12:40.139 --> 00:12:45.200 friends and acquaintances, I'm in a really religious... 00:12:47.310 --> 00:12:50.690 environment and in this religious environment 00:12:50.690 --> 00:12:54.110 there are more than 80 percent people against 00:12:54.110 --> 00:12:57.190 this current regime and we don't want it but 00:12:57.190 --> 00:12:59.769 there are still people that are with this regime 00:12:59.769 --> 00:13:03.230 you know what i mean it's 80 percent but it's 00:13:03.230 --> 00:13:06.950 not a hundred percent there are 20 percent different 00:13:06.950 --> 00:13:13.529 or in or as the others said there are like 10 00:13:13.529 --> 00:13:15.960 percent different there are terror concerns 10 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:21.720 % people that are with regime and that is what 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:25.940 is making it so hard like myself that I can't 00:13:25.940 --> 00:13:31.320 show my face. I can't guarantee that 100 % of 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:37.159 people are like me. Yeah, that seems to be the 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:40.399 typical in all tyrannical regimes ever. There's 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.580 always that small group of people for whatever 00:13:42.580 --> 00:13:47.460 reason. Do you think that's because they believe 00:13:47.460 --> 00:13:51.600 the Quran and Islam, or they have a better, more 00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:54.080 prestigious position within the government, or 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:59.419 why would you say that is? I think there are 00:13:59.419 --> 00:14:05.690 two reasons. after power and they don't think 00:14:05.690 --> 00:14:11.269 this regime is gone at least for now and they 00:14:11.269 --> 00:14:14.769 want prestige obviously the second reason is 00:14:14.769 --> 00:14:18.850 they don't read they didn't read quran they don't 00:14:18.850 --> 00:14:21.370 know islam but there are muslims they know themselves 00:14:21.370 --> 00:14:25.230 as muslims without reading quran they didn't 00:14:25.230 --> 00:14:28.570 even read one surah of quran and they call themselves 00:14:28.570 --> 00:14:33.809 muslims i think that's the other reason So they 00:14:33.809 --> 00:14:37.610 just accept what they've been taught about Islam 00:14:37.610 --> 00:14:42.190 right off the bat. Yes. That makes a lot of sense, 00:14:42.269 --> 00:14:45.529 really. I know various people that do that in 00:14:45.529 --> 00:14:51.190 a lot of different places. So, like, on a scale 00:14:51.190 --> 00:14:56.450 of 1 to 10, like... I know that the protests 00:14:56.450 --> 00:14:58.210 are really big. I know there's a lot of people 00:14:58.210 --> 00:15:00.750 protesting. But I also know that there's probably 00:15:00.750 --> 00:15:02.850 people that are just going about their everyday 00:15:02.850 --> 00:15:06.409 lives. And even if they support the protests 00:15:06.409 --> 00:15:09.049 just because they're trying to live life, do 00:15:09.049 --> 00:15:13.590 you feel like has it been disruptive? Or how 00:15:13.590 --> 00:15:16.269 disruptive has it been to normal everyday life 00:15:16.269 --> 00:15:18.250 for those who are just trying to go back and 00:15:18.250 --> 00:15:25.509 forth to work or whatever it is? In work, there's 00:15:25.509 --> 00:15:31.149 no problem. I mean, there's no protests in daylight 00:15:31.149 --> 00:15:36.049 and people are living their normal lives in daylight. 00:15:36.149 --> 00:15:46.289 But after like 8 p .m., a lot of people in some 00:15:46.289 --> 00:15:51.269 places start saying Javid Shah out of their homes. 00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:57.820 in their balconies or some in the streets but 00:15:57.820 --> 00:16:03.500 uh it doesn't uh interrupt the normal daily life 00:16:03.500 --> 00:16:09.320 that's like that it's more like a um so they 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:12.100 so it's more like it's a it's a nightly thing 00:16:12.100 --> 00:16:19.779 they can't say what they want in daylight that's 00:16:19.779 --> 00:16:23.149 because of that if they say that in daylight 00:16:23.149 --> 00:16:27.750 obviously a lot of people that we don't want 00:16:27.750 --> 00:16:30.330 to hear our voice will hear our voice and we 00:16:30.330 --> 00:16:34.009 will be in danger yeah that's guaranteed death 00:16:34.009 --> 00:16:41.090 yes um do you know anybody personally that's 00:16:41.090 --> 00:16:45.269 been taken out by the regime as a result of everything 00:16:45.269 --> 00:16:49.350 i know a lot of people getting murdered by this 00:16:49.350 --> 00:16:54.610 regime and yes I know a kid, I think he's 17 00:16:54.610 --> 00:16:59.629 years, I don't think he's older, or maybe at 00:16:59.629 --> 00:17:06.910 most 20. He has lost his parents when he was, 00:17:07.049 --> 00:17:13.349 I think he was two, I don't really remember, 00:17:13.650 --> 00:17:18.890 but he was an orphan. And he's still a kid and 00:17:18.890 --> 00:17:21.569 he's arrested and we don't know anything about 00:17:21.569 --> 00:17:25.009 him. We don't know if he's alive, if he's dead. 00:17:25.789 --> 00:17:29.250 We don't know if he's safe. We don't know anything 00:17:29.250 --> 00:17:32.269 about that. And a lot of people I know personally 00:17:32.269 --> 00:17:37.970 has been murdered. Yeah, that's horrific. I'm 00:17:37.970 --> 00:17:45.660 sorry to hear that. Is it? Okay, so we hear a 00:17:45.660 --> 00:17:49.279 lot of reports inside coming out from the country 00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.319 that, I mean, just like horrible things like 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.779 them specifically targeting children on purpose, 00:17:56.900 --> 00:18:02.579 them cutting people's organs out and organ harvesting 00:18:02.579 --> 00:18:05.720 people, killing the wounded, going after doctors 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:08.500 for trying to help the wounded. Is it really 00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:11.599 like that deep down inside of there? Yeah, you 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:16.319 see. that's all that's all true we have i have 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:20.299 seen pictures of that and they're all true unfortunately 00:18:20.299 --> 00:18:25.900 yeah yeah and and and yeah and i think it's important 00:18:25.900 --> 00:18:28.039 that people really understand how real that is 00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:31.339 because a lot of people try to push back on that 00:18:31.339 --> 00:18:34.900 and claim that people are trying to act like 00:18:34.900 --> 00:18:37.599 the numbers aren't as big or as bad as they really 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.859 are it's like they don't want And I'm sure a 00:18:40.859 --> 00:18:43.420 lot of that comes from the regime's propaganda 00:18:43.420 --> 00:18:46.500 itself and maybe other Muslim nations as well. 00:18:46.660 --> 00:18:50.480 But I see a lot of people in the West that even 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:54.880 try to dismiss it and act like, well, it's probably 00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:57.359 nowhere near as bad as people act like it is. 00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:01.400 There are always people who don't believe numbers. 00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:05.400 There are always people who don't believe numbers. 00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:10.319 And I don't know what to say to them. maybe they 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:13.700 don't want to accept their reality and there 00:19:13.700 --> 00:19:19.400 are always people who have never ever read Quran 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:24.960 and labeled us as Islamophobic they don't want 00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.599 to accept the reality as well I don't have any 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:33.880 word to say to those Yeah, those people are deranged 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:36.779 and they're delusional. Islamophobic, that's 00:19:36.779 --> 00:19:39.559 another thing. That is like the stupidest word 00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:42.579 I've ever heard in my life, because it's a fact 00:19:42.579 --> 00:19:47.160 that Islam has a murderous history. I mean, that's 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:51.039 just anybody that's living in reality. It's obvious. 00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:54.400 And it's not just one place. It's in various 00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:56.660 places all the time. And when one goes away, 00:19:56.859 --> 00:19:59.519 another one comes up and it constantly goes in 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.640 and out. I don't understand how people call that 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:08.859 Islamophobic. I won't be surprised if that's 00:20:08.859 --> 00:20:13.220 another regime's propaganda. I think that's pretty 00:20:13.220 --> 00:20:17.460 possible because Iran is very prosperous. It 00:20:17.460 --> 00:20:22.079 has really riches. It has a lot of riches and 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:27.460 it can. Iran, I don't mean Iranian, I mean Islamic 00:20:27.460 --> 00:20:32.049 regime. This Islamic regime can. make words out 00:20:32.049 --> 00:20:39.589 of thin air and do something like this. I won't 00:20:39.589 --> 00:20:42.430 be surprised if it's something that the regime 00:20:42.430 --> 00:20:47.390 has created. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, 00:20:47.390 --> 00:20:54.650 really. What do you... I've heard that the Ayatollah 00:20:54.650 --> 00:20:57.750 has ran underground in a bunker. Do you know 00:20:57.750 --> 00:21:03.519 anything about that or no? in 12 day war he did 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:10.140 the same and it's his safe ground it's somewhere 00:21:10.140 --> 00:21:13.359 that he thinks he's safe and that's pretty possible 00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:17.480 we have seen it happen and why not again yeah 00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:24.880 that makes a lot of sense really and um so i 00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:31.450 wanted to say And so the people inside the country, 00:21:31.609 --> 00:21:34.369 like I've heard that they're burning mosques 00:21:34.369 --> 00:21:39.269 to the ground. That's true? There are two sides 00:21:39.269 --> 00:21:44.329 of that. One side is that the police, the Basij, 00:21:44.470 --> 00:21:49.730 these jihadis in Iran, they captured people and 00:21:49.730 --> 00:21:58.079 put them in the mosques. present them in the 00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:05.019 mosques and that's why Iranians start firing 00:22:05.019 --> 00:22:10.480 mosques that's one reason the second is that 00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:17.319 it's the work of regime he wants to let the religious 00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:22.500 people to be on regime's side they don't want 00:22:22.500 --> 00:22:36.440 to lose religious people The regime doesn't want 00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:40.839 religious people to be on the side of Iranians. 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:46.839 The regime doesn't want to lose religious people. 00:22:46.940 --> 00:22:50.799 That's why the regime started firing mosques 00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:59.549 itself. That's really interesting. So you feel 00:22:59.549 --> 00:23:01.549 like they're trying to use that as some sort 00:23:01.549 --> 00:23:07.410 of to incentivize the people in the country that 00:23:07.410 --> 00:23:10.349 identifies Muslims not to join the revolution? 00:23:11.470 --> 00:23:21.220 Exactly. That's very interesting. So another 00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:23.759 thing that's confusing for me, and I'm sure a 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.180 lot of people, is that, like, the people, the 00:23:27.180 --> 00:23:29.700 police themselves or the people in the military, 00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:34.400 like, a lot of them, don't they understand how 00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:38.099 evil the regime is? Like, why do you think, you 00:23:38.099 --> 00:23:40.259 would almost think, you would wonder why they 00:23:40.259 --> 00:23:43.539 don't help the people and rebel against the Ayatollah 00:23:43.539 --> 00:23:50.640 themselves. As I said, a lot of my acquaintances, 00:23:50.940 --> 00:23:54.200 a lot of my family members are not safe. That's 00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:56.759 because they are police, they are Basiji, they 00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:01.579 are jihadis and I can say they are 100 % brainwashed. 00:24:01.819 --> 00:24:06.299 There is no saving for them. You can't save them. 00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:14.660 Imagine a person who is living 40 years or 30 00:24:14.660 --> 00:24:20.819 years of his life this idea that Islam is good 00:24:20.819 --> 00:24:24.339 that Ayatollah is the greatest person in the 00:24:24.339 --> 00:24:27.359 world and now you are saying no he is a terrorist 00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:31.960 he is not a good person Islam is not what it 00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:35.160 seems to be what do you expect do you expect 00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:40.960 him to live all of his beliefs obviously no he 00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:46.259 won't accept your words he just accepts his 30 00:24:46.259 --> 00:24:52.700 years of life under this brainwashed ideology. 00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:57.640 I don't know what to call it. Yeah, that makes 00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:01.440 a lot of sense, really. So what you're saying 00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:05.319 is that the people that are a part of the IRGC 00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:08.039 and the people that are in the streets murdering 00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:10.420 protesters and everything, they've been completely... 00:25:10.910 --> 00:25:14.170 It's maybe not even that they're incentivized, 00:25:14.170 --> 00:25:16.650 but that they really, they're the group of people 00:25:16.650 --> 00:25:20.130 that actually believe the Ayatollah. They firmly 00:25:20.130 --> 00:25:26.369 stand by that idea. Exactly. They're lost. You 00:25:26.369 --> 00:25:30.190 can't save them. That's really interesting. So 00:25:30.190 --> 00:25:34.660 do you feel like, is that because... Are they 00:25:34.660 --> 00:25:36.740 groomed from the time that they're a little kid, 00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:40.119 or is it more like that anybody that's not like 00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:43.000 that was filtered out by the regime itself to 00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:45.759 make sure that the only people that would be 00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.799 involved with that were that dedicated to the 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:57.599 cause? I'm not really sure. This regime is pretty 00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:07.869 complicated. works to publics it do things in 00:26:07.869 --> 00:26:13.210 secret and I'm not really sure what it does to 00:26:13.210 --> 00:26:19.730 people but what I'm sure is a lot of these people 00:26:19.730 --> 00:26:24.630 were raised like this from their childhoods they 00:26:24.630 --> 00:26:30.210 started learning these things from their families 00:26:30.210 --> 00:26:35.079 and a lot of these people just raised this way 00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:43.859 and that's all i can say okay um and like firearms 00:26:43.859 --> 00:26:47.119 they're illegal for the people to have isn't 00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:53.829 that true even a knife is illegal to carry Yeah, 00:26:53.829 --> 00:26:57.009 so the protesters, that's why they're getting 00:26:57.009 --> 00:26:59.650 totally destroyed like that. They don't even 00:26:59.650 --> 00:27:05.569 have the ability to shoot back. There is no way 00:27:05.569 --> 00:27:12.950 for us to win this war. There is no way. We are 00:27:12.950 --> 00:27:22.039 barehanded. Yeah, so... If you wanted to say 00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:26.019 something to anybody that's outside of the country 00:27:26.019 --> 00:27:29.940 that was listening to it and you wanted to help 00:27:29.940 --> 00:27:32.119 them understand and explain exactly how dire 00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:34.799 the situation is and what you wanted to say to 00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:41.740 them, what would you say? I would say everything 00:27:41.740 --> 00:27:46.160 is obvious. Everyone can accept whatever it wants 00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:49.970 to accept. If you want to accept reality, you 00:27:49.970 --> 00:27:52.470 can accept reality. If you want to accept your 00:27:52.470 --> 00:27:58.789 delusions, just accept your delusions. So you 00:27:58.789 --> 00:28:00.430 feel like everything's already been said that 00:28:00.430 --> 00:28:02.950 needs to be said. They just need to accept whether 00:28:02.950 --> 00:28:08.509 or not that's actually true or not. Yes. All 00:28:08.509 --> 00:28:11.109 right. I mean, that makes a lot of sense, really. 00:28:13.789 --> 00:28:18.839 And I've heard also... Is it true? I've been 00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:23.200 hearing that they're purposefully not giving 00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:26.480 the bodies of women and children back. Is that 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:32.380 true? That's something even us in Iran are very 00:28:32.380 --> 00:28:36.720 worried about. And yes, I don't know how many 00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:43.339 videos of Iranian bodies you have seen, but in 00:28:43.339 --> 00:28:48.440 a lot of those videos, you can't see much of 00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:54.779 women's bodies but in protests you hear a lot 00:28:54.779 --> 00:28:59.279 of women's voices and that's obviously a reason 00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:05.940 that this regime is right now capturing a lot 00:29:05.940 --> 00:29:10.019 of women's body girls body and haven't let them 00:29:10.019 --> 00:29:17.859 out and um Well, I heard one theory that said 00:29:17.859 --> 00:29:19.759 that they were doing that on purpose because 00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:23.039 in the event of a military strike or an airstrike 00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:25.880 or something like that, they were planning on 00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:28.700 possibly showing their bodies afterwards and 00:29:28.700 --> 00:29:30.619 then blaming it on the airstrike and saying that 00:29:30.619 --> 00:29:32.420 they were killing women and children, civilians, 00:29:32.660 --> 00:29:36.640 and that's what it was about. There's no other 00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:41.519 explanation for this act. It's the only reason 00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:48.299 this regime would... So you firmly believe that 00:29:48.299 --> 00:29:58.940 as well? Yes. So in the event, or I will say 00:29:58.940 --> 00:30:03.640 when, because I'm under the firm belief absolutely 00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:06.619 that the Ayatollah is going to be overthrown. 00:30:07.339 --> 00:30:12.380 And when that happens and they bring the Shah 00:30:12.380 --> 00:30:17.460 back, because I've heard, okay, I haven't heard 00:30:17.460 --> 00:30:21.160 any dissent, any real dissent from anybody that 00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:24.019 would want anybody except the Shah. I mean, you 00:30:24.019 --> 00:30:27.460 hear a couple pockets, like some random person 00:30:27.460 --> 00:30:29.319 here, random person there that says somebody 00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:32.000 else. But as a majority, it seems to be like. 00:30:32.539 --> 00:30:35.619 The only voice that I overwhelmingly hear is 00:30:35.619 --> 00:30:39.160 the Shah. Now, I also know that there's this 00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:41.839 group of people that's trying to push, what is 00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:44.059 it, the MEK or something like that? They want 00:30:44.059 --> 00:30:51.660 them to take it over? I couldn't listen to your 00:30:51.660 --> 00:30:55.019 last part of the question. Can you ask it again? 00:30:56.019 --> 00:31:03.799 The group of ME what? The MEK. haven't heard 00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:09.359 about them yeah they're a um they're um well 00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:11.579 they were they were a part of they were one of 00:31:11.579 --> 00:31:13.660 the groups that tried to that helped overthrow 00:31:13.660 --> 00:31:16.700 the shah and they used to work with saddam hussein 00:31:16.700 --> 00:31:21.240 and uh the iranian the islamic regime as well 00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:25.960 so i don't know it's i mean it's just it's it's 00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:29.329 propaganda it's just That is another small group 00:31:29.329 --> 00:31:33.089 of people. They're pro -communist and pro -Islamic 00:31:33.089 --> 00:31:35.990 at the same time, and their logo is literally 00:31:35.990 --> 00:31:41.309 like a communist scythe next to an Islamic moon 00:31:41.309 --> 00:31:44.230 or something like that. So it's really just propaganda, 00:31:44.309 --> 00:31:47.609 but I was really surprised that there were people 00:31:47.609 --> 00:31:49.190 that were actually trying to push that, even 00:31:49.190 --> 00:31:51.029 Western people that were saying that they would 00:31:51.029 --> 00:31:52.769 be a good alternative. That doesn't make any 00:31:52.769 --> 00:31:57.920 sense to me. When the Shah returns, do you see 00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:01.660 the people trying to do a full monarchy or do 00:32:01.660 --> 00:32:03.839 you think it'll be more like a, do they want 00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:07.740 like a democratic regime and have a monarchy 00:32:07.740 --> 00:32:11.200 on the side just for authoritative purposes or 00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:15.440 how do you think that would look? Personally, 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:21.819 I would like a secular democracy, democratic. 00:32:23.980 --> 00:32:27.019 I don't know what you say that I personally like 00:32:27.019 --> 00:32:31.799 as a secular democratic and I'm not a heresy 00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:40.579 I'm against a heresy power a heresy regime but 00:32:40.579 --> 00:32:49.180 for now we need Reza Pahlavi to come to Iran 00:32:49.180 --> 00:32:55.680 and do his job about after that i don't have 00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:01.660 any idea because this population that you are 00:33:01.660 --> 00:33:05.000 seeing right now these people that are shouting 00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.519 job which are these people that are shouting 00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:13.779 free iran have a lot of other options in their 00:33:13.779 --> 00:33:17.779 minds they are not all the same the only thing 00:33:17.779 --> 00:33:23.200 that we are focusing on right now is this regime 00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:29.779 that has to be gone and after that we can vote 00:33:29.779 --> 00:33:34.019 for whatever we want and personally I don't think 00:33:34.019 --> 00:33:40.039 it would be a heresy power again this heresy 00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:44.319 regime in Iran but that's what we need right 00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:49.089 now and we need this regime to be gone yeah This 00:33:49.089 --> 00:33:51.769 is the first time I would say that it's really 00:33:51.769 --> 00:33:55.869 realistic that there's an opportunity to destroy 00:33:55.869 --> 00:33:59.029 the Ayatollah. To me, it doesn't make any sense 00:33:59.029 --> 00:34:02.450 at all for anybody outside of the country to 00:34:02.450 --> 00:34:04.910 not want to get rid of the Ayatollah. It doesn't 00:34:04.910 --> 00:34:07.069 make any sense because they're the number one 00:34:07.069 --> 00:34:10.010 sponsor of terrorism in the entire world. They 00:34:10.010 --> 00:34:13.829 constantly... violate human and civil rights. 00:34:13.969 --> 00:34:17.969 They bring destability. They're a nuclear threat. 00:34:18.170 --> 00:34:22.269 They attack. They help fund wars against Israel, 00:34:22.469 --> 00:34:25.269 Europe, America, the whole world, really. It 00:34:25.269 --> 00:34:29.409 just doesn't make any sense why somebody wouldn't 00:34:29.409 --> 00:34:31.909 want to get rid of them, from my perspective, 00:34:32.010 --> 00:34:35.809 unless they were a pro -Islamic regime as well. 00:34:35.869 --> 00:34:39.940 Do you think that What do you think about the 00:34:39.940 --> 00:34:44.340 surrounding Arabic nations like Saudi Arabia 00:34:44.340 --> 00:34:48.039 or countries like that? Do you think that they're 00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:53.400 in favor of the Islamic regime? I think they're 00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:58.940 100 % in favor of the Islamic regime because 00:34:58.940 --> 00:35:05.000 just look at it. Ayatollah Arakci, I think you 00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:11.480 know Arakci. Farijan minister of Iran right now 00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:18.760 and he's literally from Iraq his last name his 00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:21.920 surname is Arakchi it's obviously not Iranian 00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:29.559 and obviously the near countries the Arabian 00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:34.019 countries don't want this regime to be gone they 00:35:34.019 --> 00:35:39.300 are getting funds from it or getting support 00:35:39.300 --> 00:35:42.239 from this regime, why would they want this regime 00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:47.340 to be gone? Yeah. And yeah, I think that's really 00:35:47.340 --> 00:35:51.360 true as well. And I agree with that. But I know 00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:54.059 a lot of people try to say, well, they're not 00:35:54.059 --> 00:35:58.199 as radical as that regime or they're moderates. 00:35:58.460 --> 00:36:01.079 So they would have no problem getting rid of 00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:04.400 it. But that's not what I see. I see that maybe... 00:36:05.050 --> 00:36:07.630 To me, it feels like they're comfortable hiding 00:36:07.630 --> 00:36:12.789 behind that idea that that regime is the really 00:36:12.789 --> 00:36:16.869 bad one. And as long as they benefit from it, 00:36:16.909 --> 00:36:19.570 but they don't have to take the heat for being 00:36:19.570 --> 00:36:28.230 as bold as they are. As a foreign engineer that 00:36:28.230 --> 00:36:30.969 you are, or a lot of people are listening to 00:36:30.969 --> 00:36:37.070 your show, just... think about you are about 00:36:37.070 --> 00:36:41.449 to come to Middle East there are some options 00:36:41.449 --> 00:36:47.670 Arabistan, Emirat Dubai and Iran you would obviously 00:36:47.670 --> 00:36:53.409 choose like Dubai like Arabistan you won't choose 00:36:53.409 --> 00:36:59.210 Iran because it's dangerous in here and that's 00:36:59.210 --> 00:37:03.590 one point of the view that they don't want to 00:37:03.590 --> 00:37:11.849 lose their secured spot in the region and the 00:37:11.849 --> 00:37:15.130 other one i think my opinion in my opinion the 00:37:15.130 --> 00:37:20.369 other one is oil a lot of people in middle east 00:37:20.369 --> 00:37:25.630 i don't have the exact exact number of oils that 00:37:25.630 --> 00:37:30.489 are being sold but there are countries that want 00:37:30.489 --> 00:37:35.710 to sell their oil with a higher price and they 00:37:35.710 --> 00:37:40.130 don't want Islamic regime to be changed to be 00:37:40.130 --> 00:37:44.969 something like a democrat country and sell its 00:37:44.969 --> 00:37:49.550 oil more expensive than those because we are 00:37:49.550 --> 00:37:53.550 selling more oil than those countries and they 00:37:53.550 --> 00:37:56.309 don't want this regime to be changed because 00:37:56.309 --> 00:38:05.519 they are They are getting profit from it. I don't 00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:08.300 know if you understand what I mean. Yeah, yeah, 00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:13.500 yeah. That makes a lot of sense, really. They 00:38:13.500 --> 00:38:17.199 have a secure place in this region and they don't 00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:20.920 want to lose it. Yeah, they don't want to upset 00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:24.659 the status quo. Because obviously Saudi Arabia 00:38:24.659 --> 00:38:28.280 and Dubai and places like that and Qatar, they're 00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:31.539 doing a lot better on the surface financially 00:38:31.539 --> 00:38:38.260 than a lot of other countries are. So, and you 00:38:38.260 --> 00:38:42.460 mentioned the oil. Do you feel like, I know that 00:38:42.460 --> 00:38:47.699 the Ayatollah supplies a lot of oil to China 00:38:47.699 --> 00:38:55.219 specifically. Are you aware of that? You may 00:38:55.219 --> 00:38:58.440 be surprised, but I wasn't aware of that till 00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:01.500 recently. And I wasn't aware of that, that they're 00:39:01.500 --> 00:39:06.760 selling it cheap to China. I didn't know that 00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:10.960 till recently. They don't say this out loud. 00:39:11.139 --> 00:39:14.280 You know, they are very secretive. Obviously, 00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:16.380 they don't want anybody to know what they're 00:39:16.380 --> 00:39:20.619 doing. And that's really strange to me as well. 00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:25.420 That makes me wonder if the Chinese regime is 00:39:25.420 --> 00:39:29.519 also behind trying to keep the Ayatollah in power 00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:35.579 as well. Obviously they want to keep Ayatollah 00:39:35.579 --> 00:39:39.659 in power. And obviously they would support, directly 00:39:39.659 --> 00:39:44.519 or indirectly, they would support Ayatollah. 00:39:46.219 --> 00:39:52.260 He's profiting Chinese. It almost feels like 00:39:52.260 --> 00:39:55.900 the Chinese are kind of taking advantage of that 00:39:55.900 --> 00:39:57.760 as well, though, because the fact that they sell 00:39:57.760 --> 00:39:59.860 it so cheap, there's no reason for them to do 00:39:59.860 --> 00:40:03.119 that. It's almost like, I don't know, maybe if 00:40:03.119 --> 00:40:05.860 they're strong -arming the Ayatollah and trying 00:40:05.860 --> 00:40:08.579 to force them to sell it cheap, or if it's more 00:40:08.579 --> 00:40:12.679 of like an exchange of security or protection 00:40:12.679 --> 00:40:19.630 or something like that. there has been a lot 00:40:19.630 --> 00:40:27.210 of deals between Iran, China and Russia and almost 00:40:27.210 --> 00:40:32.210 all Iranians know that Ayatollah is literally 00:40:32.210 --> 00:40:37.750 a slave to China and Russia and there is no doubt 00:40:37.750 --> 00:40:43.269 about it They just sell whatever they want to 00:40:43.269 --> 00:40:47.630 China and Russia, and China and Russia are getting 00:40:47.630 --> 00:40:52.050 profits. Obviously, they would support Ayatollah. 00:40:54.110 --> 00:40:56.530 Yeah, it's interesting that you would say the 00:40:56.530 --> 00:40:59.630 word slave because that's how I see it as well, 00:40:59.630 --> 00:41:04.530 too. That's how a lot of Westerners view it as 00:41:04.530 --> 00:41:07.429 well, too. It feels like the Ayatollah is a slave 00:41:07.429 --> 00:41:12.900 to China and Russia. That's how most of Iranians 00:41:12.900 --> 00:41:20.440 see this situation. Yeah. And almost like they're 00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:23.340 a pawn in Russia and China's political games 00:41:23.340 --> 00:41:28.719 to try and dominate world affairs. So do you 00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:34.460 feel like when the Ayatollah falls and the Shah 00:41:34.460 --> 00:41:40.159 returns, he would not be... super friendly with 00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:45.980 Russia and China I don't know about that but 00:41:45.980 --> 00:41:49.480 I'm sure it would be better for us Iranians I 00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:54.960 know at least he would come to Iran he would 00:41:54.960 --> 00:42:00.679 let us vote for whatever we want and that's the 00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:04.099 main point for us Iranians we don't care about 00:42:04.099 --> 00:42:07.380 other things we want to just live a normal life 00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:11.599 We don't want something fancy, something luxurious. 00:42:12.440 --> 00:42:18.300 We just want to have the right of freedom of 00:42:18.300 --> 00:42:24.139 speech. We just want to have the right to live. 00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:29.440 That's all. That's all in the Iranians' point 00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:36.000 of view. Yeah, they just want to be free. Yes. 00:42:37.289 --> 00:42:43.090 Yeah, just like just like Americans have had 00:42:43.090 --> 00:42:46.289 the privilege of being for hundreds of years. 00:42:46.409 --> 00:42:50.329 And really, see, that's why to me, it feels like 00:42:50.329 --> 00:42:53.469 Americans should understand what's going on with 00:42:53.469 --> 00:42:58.929 the people in Iran, because we had to fight the 00:42:58.929 --> 00:43:00.949 history of America. We had to fight a revolution 00:43:00.949 --> 00:43:04.610 for our own freedom as well. So if anybody on 00:43:04.610 --> 00:43:08.380 the planet should understand. What it's like 00:43:08.380 --> 00:43:11.159 to have to fight for your freedom. It's the United 00:43:11.159 --> 00:43:16.500 States of America. And I see that in Iran, I 00:43:16.500 --> 00:43:20.380 feel like their fight for this freedom is the 00:43:20.380 --> 00:43:28.400 same as America's fight. OK, guys, well, it looks 00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:34.380 like we just lost connection with him. So I'm 00:43:34.380 --> 00:43:37.489 going to wait a little bit and see if he. comes 00:43:37.489 --> 00:43:41.590 back on here or see if he's able to rejoin but 00:43:41.590 --> 00:43:46.369 um it said that we had connection issues and 00:43:46.369 --> 00:43:51.130 it looks like he just disappeared so um we'll 00:43:51.130 --> 00:43:53.829 just give it a second and see if i can re -invite 00:43:53.829 --> 00:43:55.429 him or if he could come back we'll give it a 00:43:55.429 --> 00:44:01.070 few minutes um yeah so while we're waiting on 00:44:01.070 --> 00:44:04.869 that guys this is some like really serious things 00:44:04.869 --> 00:44:12.869 and As you can see, he is agreed to come on to 00:44:12.869 --> 00:44:18.110 the show. He is in Iran right now as we speak, 00:44:18.269 --> 00:44:23.289 okay? He's inside the country itself. So this 00:44:23.289 --> 00:44:28.309 show that he agreed to come on, as you know, 00:44:28.329 --> 00:44:33.739 they've been in an internet blackout for... weeks, 00:44:33.780 --> 00:44:37.480 right? And it wasn't until recently that the 00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:40.880 blackout, it hasn't totally dissipated or disappeared, 00:44:41.159 --> 00:44:45.980 but there's little shatters of opportunity for 00:44:45.980 --> 00:44:53.980 connection and really is risking a lot to talk 00:44:53.980 --> 00:44:57.280 to the outside world. I thought that it was really 00:44:57.280 --> 00:44:59.840 necessary for people to hear what's going on 00:44:59.840 --> 00:45:03.760 inside and everything that he said. so far, as 00:45:03.760 --> 00:45:06.980 you can see, is everything that we're being told 00:45:06.980 --> 00:45:14.000 by Iranian Americans, people that are outside. 00:45:14.380 --> 00:45:18.500 Hello. Are you back? Yes, yes. Hey. Bad internet 00:45:18.500 --> 00:45:20.420 connection. Yeah, we lost connection there for 00:45:20.420 --> 00:45:24.000 a little bit. I was going to wait around a few 00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:25.300 minutes and see if you were able to come back 00:45:25.300 --> 00:45:29.840 or not. Yeah, unfortunately, this is the internet 00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:37.760 that we are dealing with. Yeah. Well, what I 00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:41.440 was saying was that I feel like as Americans, 00:45:41.539 --> 00:45:44.800 we should understand more than anybody what freedom 00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:47.519 is all about. The whole thing, to me, when I 00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:49.880 look at what's happening there right now, it 00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:53.079 reminds me of the American Revolution itself. 00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:56.739 It reminds me of 1776 and being free from the 00:45:56.739 --> 00:45:59.079 British Empire. To me, it's the same exact thing. 00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:03.539 So I don't see. Why it would be hard for anybody 00:46:03.539 --> 00:46:10.280 to understand that? I don't know about Americans 00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:15.900 and I don't know about America's history, but 00:46:15.900 --> 00:46:22.539 I think America and Americans should know the 00:46:22.539 --> 00:46:26.460 freedom better than us because you have lived 00:46:26.460 --> 00:46:31.449 in freedom and you have experienced it. And obviously 00:46:31.449 --> 00:46:38.650 you don't want to lose it. Yeah, obviously. And, 00:46:38.650 --> 00:46:44.750 okay, I was also going to ask you, I know that 00:46:44.750 --> 00:46:48.389 a lot of people that have been shouting free 00:46:48.389 --> 00:46:51.610 Palestine and they're very pro -Palestine and 00:46:51.610 --> 00:46:53.590 they're very critical of Israel and the war in 00:46:53.590 --> 00:46:57.340 Gaza right now. But they seem to have gone, not 00:46:57.340 --> 00:47:00.920 all of them, but a very large amount of them, 00:47:01.039 --> 00:47:04.000 have seemed to have gone completely silent when 00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:08.199 it comes to free Iran. Do you have any thoughts 00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:14.460 on that? This free Palestine, we have been dealing 00:47:14.460 --> 00:47:16.940 with it more than you have been dealing with 00:47:16.940 --> 00:47:23.119 it. There is, I don't know, from when I was born, 00:47:23.239 --> 00:47:30.710 I have seen, This regime advertising free Palestine 00:47:30.710 --> 00:47:38.489 in Iran. They have been spreading food, spreading 00:47:38.489 --> 00:47:43.650 loans for people to come and shout free Palestine 00:47:43.650 --> 00:47:49.829 even in Iran. And we don't really care about 00:47:49.829 --> 00:47:53.619 those people. We know they are just... mercenaries 00:47:53.619 --> 00:47:57.800 of this government you know they don't care about 00:47:57.800 --> 00:48:03.719 human rights they just want in our eyes they 00:48:03.719 --> 00:48:08.019 just want some money that this regime will give 00:48:08.019 --> 00:48:14.860 them from shouting free Palestine yeah yeah it's 00:48:14.860 --> 00:48:16.840 very interesting that you say that because I 00:48:16.840 --> 00:48:20.360 agree with that 100 % too so see this is one 00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:24.599 of the reasons that I wanted to talk to people 00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:29.139 inside and like yourself, because I know that 00:48:29.139 --> 00:48:33.039 the voice of the people in the country is totally 00:48:33.039 --> 00:48:36.590 different. than what the propaganda from the 00:48:36.590 --> 00:48:39.730 Islamic regime is. What everybody sees when they 00:48:39.730 --> 00:48:42.789 hear the Ayatollah speak is a complete opposite 00:48:42.789 --> 00:48:45.969 reality of the people inside of the country. 00:48:46.130 --> 00:48:49.829 And it has been for a long time, but it seems 00:48:49.829 --> 00:48:53.349 like people now are just starting to become slightly 00:48:53.349 --> 00:48:55.869 aware of the fact that there's a difference between 00:48:55.869 --> 00:48:57.829 the people and the regime, but they don't realize 00:48:57.829 --> 00:49:01.739 that it is a huge difference. The people inside 00:49:01.739 --> 00:49:06.559 the country are in way more alignment with people 00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:10.679 from the West, Israel, America, Europe, and the 00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:14.019 majority of people here that think and feel exactly 00:49:14.019 --> 00:49:16.800 the way that you're describing it, too. So it's 00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:19.920 really important for people to understand that 00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:25.679 because that helps people realize not just I 00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:27.900 mean, it helps people realize how oppressed. 00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:31.639 That the people in the country aren't how much 00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:34.840 of a genocide and like a holocaust that it really 00:49:34.840 --> 00:49:37.539 is going on inside of the country. And it also 00:49:37.539 --> 00:49:39.900 helps them understand, puts their self in the 00:49:39.900 --> 00:49:42.320 shoes of those people and say, these people are 00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:44.380 really, they're just like you. These are not 00:49:44.380 --> 00:49:48.039 a bunch of. you know, crazy radicalized jihads 00:49:48.039 --> 00:49:51.500 that want to scream death to America and kill 00:49:51.500 --> 00:49:53.980 all the Jews and all of this. No, these are normal 00:49:53.980 --> 00:49:57.460 everyday people who are aware of the world. They're 00:49:57.460 --> 00:49:59.940 aware of culture and society, and they're aware 00:49:59.940 --> 00:50:03.679 of how crazy that radical Islam has become. And 00:50:03.679 --> 00:50:07.099 it's those people that would be a friend to anyone 00:50:07.099 --> 00:50:12.239 who's not crazy that want to be free just like 00:50:12.239 --> 00:50:16.800 everybody else. That's right. That's exactly 00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:24.099 a reason why Iranians in protests out of Iran 00:50:24.099 --> 00:50:28.559 have raised Israel's flag, have raised their 00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:33.559 host country's flag. We want to show that we 00:50:33.559 --> 00:50:40.079 are not some barbaric individuals. not some uneducated 00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:44.639 people who want to murder whoever is not believing 00:50:44.639 --> 00:50:47.940 in Islam. We just want to live a normal life. 00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:54.619 We just want to grow up. We just want to grow 00:50:54.619 --> 00:50:59.000 up. That's a very important point that I'm making 00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:04.320 because that's a genocide. A lot of my peers 00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:13.119 have been dead. There is no young people who 00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:20.099 have long distance hope for their future. And 00:51:20.099 --> 00:51:28.239 that's the reality of Iran right now. I don't 00:51:28.239 --> 00:51:33.019 know why they want to say the Iranians are barbaric. 00:51:33.059 --> 00:51:36.960 I don't know what this propaganda still exists. 00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:41.719 But that's not true. We just want to live a normal 00:51:41.719 --> 00:51:49.039 life like everybody else. Yeah. So it seems like 00:51:49.039 --> 00:51:51.639 the major thing that you really want people to 00:51:51.639 --> 00:51:56.340 understand is that really... It's just freedom 00:51:56.340 --> 00:51:59.400 is what the people are looking for. It seems 00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:01.639 like you're really trying to drill it in people's 00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:07.980 heads that it's just freedom. That's it. Exactly. 00:52:08.440 --> 00:52:12.599 I will make an example. When you are trapped 00:52:12.599 --> 00:52:18.019 in a well and there are some people outside of 00:52:18.019 --> 00:52:22.539 the well and you want to get outside of the well 00:52:22.539 --> 00:52:28.150 as well, You won't make enemies of the people 00:52:28.150 --> 00:52:31.389 outside of the world. You won't say death to 00:52:31.389 --> 00:52:35.510 America, death to Israel. No. You say, you America, 00:52:35.670 --> 00:52:40.230 you are my friend. Now give me a rope, give me 00:52:40.230 --> 00:52:44.949 something that takes me out of this world so 00:52:44.949 --> 00:52:49.670 we can be free together. That's the reality that 00:52:49.670 --> 00:52:52.780 is happening right now. We don't want to make 00:52:52.780 --> 00:52:57.500 enemies. That's exactly opposite. We want to 00:52:57.500 --> 00:53:03.860 make friends so we can be free together. Yeah. 00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:09.840 It's the scream of 100 million people that just 00:53:09.840 --> 00:53:12.139 want to be free and join the rest of the world 00:53:12.139 --> 00:53:15.219 in the 21st century and come out of that old 00:53:15.219 --> 00:53:21.480 7th century radicalized savagery jihad. Yes. 00:53:24.420 --> 00:53:34.420 OK, so is there I know that Trump and Marco Rubio 00:53:34.420 --> 00:53:39.840 and Benjamin Netanyahu are talking about talking 00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:44.760 to the Ayatollah this Friday. Now, I also know 00:53:44.760 --> 00:53:48.239 and it's my firm belief. The way that politics 00:53:48.239 --> 00:53:51.099 work and the way that Trump thinks and things 00:53:51.099 --> 00:53:55.320 that people said, I don't believe that it's going 00:53:55.320 --> 00:53:59.320 to be a negotiation where America and Israel 00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:02.159 abandon the people inside of the country. I am 00:54:02.159 --> 00:54:04.820 firmly under the belief that that is not what 00:54:04.820 --> 00:54:08.900 it is at all. I would say that really the talks 00:54:08.900 --> 00:54:11.940 are just some sort of a there's some sort of 00:54:11.940 --> 00:54:14.519 a political cover because. When you look at the 00:54:14.519 --> 00:54:19.199 UN, and in 2015, they created the Responsibility 00:54:19.199 --> 00:54:23.000 to Protect Act. And in that, it says that a country 00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:25.900 loses its sovereignty if it begins to kill its 00:54:25.900 --> 00:54:29.280 own people, and that military strikes are completely 00:54:29.280 --> 00:54:33.579 allowed so long as every other diplomatic solution 00:54:33.579 --> 00:54:37.420 has been exhausted. So, to me, what I believe 00:54:37.420 --> 00:54:39.900 that Trump and Netanyahu are trying to do is 00:54:39.900 --> 00:54:43.409 they're trying to prove to the world Because 00:54:43.409 --> 00:54:46.630 they've said, and I'm hearing that some of the 00:54:46.630 --> 00:54:48.269 demands in there, that they recognize Israel, 00:54:48.369 --> 00:54:50.690 which the Ayatollah is never going to do, and 00:54:50.690 --> 00:54:53.070 that they're going to make sure Marco Rubio himself 00:54:53.070 --> 00:54:55.809 said, we are going to discuss the way that they're 00:54:55.809 --> 00:54:57.550 treating the people inside of the country, and 00:54:57.550 --> 00:54:59.670 we are going to discuss the things that they 00:54:59.670 --> 00:55:02.269 say that we don't want to discuss. And it's my 00:55:02.269 --> 00:55:06.130 view, as well as Goldie Gamari and many other 00:55:06.130 --> 00:55:08.389 people, that the reason why they're doing that 00:55:08.389 --> 00:55:11.429 is to prove to the world that These people, the 00:55:11.429 --> 00:55:13.929 Ayatollah, they are completely radicalized. And 00:55:13.929 --> 00:55:16.309 no matter how diplomatic you try to be with these 00:55:16.309 --> 00:55:19.429 people, in the end, they refuse to accept any 00:55:19.429 --> 00:55:23.269 real type of conclusion. And from that justification 00:55:23.269 --> 00:55:27.269 to the world on a world level, that when they 00:55:27.269 --> 00:55:30.349 do do a military strike, they will be able to 00:55:30.349 --> 00:55:33.210 say, see you. We're not warmongering. We're not 00:55:33.210 --> 00:55:34.989 war criminals. We're not trying to take over 00:55:34.989 --> 00:55:39.690 a country. We are removing a completely radicalized 00:55:39.690 --> 00:55:46.889 regime. So I wanted to ask you, if you were to 00:55:46.889 --> 00:55:51.309 be able to have to say anything about to Trump 00:55:51.309 --> 00:55:53.869 or Marco or Bibi Netanyahu or anybody like that, 00:55:53.949 --> 00:55:58.230 what would you say to them? I would like to. 00:55:59.550 --> 00:56:03.869 Ask them to don't negotiate with terrorists Because 00:56:03.869 --> 00:56:07.750 this diplomatic talking that you are talking 00:56:07.750 --> 00:56:14.730 about It's our lives Our lives completely depend 00:56:14.730 --> 00:56:21.309 on these talks And we are worried that 1 % Ayatollah 00:56:21.309 --> 00:56:26.389 agrees to America's demands That's our worries 00:56:26.909 --> 00:56:32.230 Last night when there was a news that Islamic 00:56:32.230 --> 00:56:38.510 regime didn't want to negotiate with US and Trump 00:56:38.510 --> 00:56:45.949 said that we don't negotiate with this regime 00:56:45.949 --> 00:56:49.769 because they wanted to only talk about curing 00:56:49.769 --> 00:56:56.460 nuclear and they cancelled the talks. jumping 00:56:56.460 --> 00:57:01.420 out of joy and that's what we are worried about 00:57:01.420 --> 00:57:05.199 we are worried that one percent ayatollah agrees 00:57:05.199 --> 00:57:11.480 to the usa's demands and we don't want that we 00:57:11.480 --> 00:57:14.860 want a regime change we don't want this regime 00:57:14.860 --> 00:57:22.679 to stay in power any longer yeah i'm in firm 00:57:22.679 --> 00:57:26.510 agreement with you as well i don't I think, and 00:57:26.510 --> 00:57:29.050 it's obvious to me that, as it should be obvious 00:57:29.050 --> 00:57:31.489 to everybody in the world, that a complete and 00:57:31.489 --> 00:57:34.610 total regime change is the only option inside 00:57:34.610 --> 00:57:38.150 of the country. There is no room for negotiating 00:57:38.150 --> 00:57:40.889 with these people. They're complete nutcases. 00:57:41.010 --> 00:57:45.699 So, you feel like... Is it safe to say that what 00:57:45.699 --> 00:57:48.980 you feel like is that the Ayatollah may lie to 00:57:48.980 --> 00:57:51.960 their face and say, yeah, sure, we'll do whatever 00:57:51.960 --> 00:57:54.599 it is, and then just continue to do what they 00:57:54.599 --> 00:58:02.420 always do? It's his proficient. He's proficient 00:58:02.420 --> 00:58:06.940 in lying. That's what he's been doing since 37 00:58:06.940 --> 00:58:11.800 years ago. That's how many before him has been 00:58:11.800 --> 00:58:15.530 doing. They are proficient in lying. I won't 00:58:15.530 --> 00:58:23.210 be surprised if they lie about that. Yeah. A 00:58:23.210 --> 00:58:25.250 snake is a snake is a snake. It's not going to 00:58:25.250 --> 00:58:29.250 change overnight like that. Exactly. So, yeah. 00:58:30.130 --> 00:58:34.409 I think I believe that Trump is smart enough 00:58:34.409 --> 00:58:38.150 to realize that. I believe that Trump and Bibi 00:58:39.650 --> 00:58:43.110 are very aware of that fact because it's always 00:58:43.110 --> 00:58:46.090 been a fact. And I know in the past here in America 00:58:46.090 --> 00:58:48.690 and American politics, Trump has done things 00:58:48.690 --> 00:58:52.389 like this before with his opposition, where he 00:58:52.389 --> 00:58:54.630 pretends that he's going to make some sort of 00:58:54.630 --> 00:58:57.809 a deal with them. And he just goes out of his 00:58:57.809 --> 00:59:01.630 way to prove that he'll even give them more of 00:59:01.630 --> 00:59:03.389 what he said he would, or at least put it on 00:59:03.389 --> 00:59:05.929 the table just so that headlines and the news 00:59:05.929 --> 00:59:09.000 media can see. that, well, see, look, I would 00:59:09.000 --> 00:59:11.340 even give them this and they still won't listen. 00:59:11.559 --> 00:59:14.739 And then after it's, you know, exposed that this 00:59:14.739 --> 00:59:17.400 person really is just that radical, that's usually 00:59:17.400 --> 00:59:20.199 when he comes in afterwards and deals with it. 00:59:20.260 --> 00:59:22.940 I think that that's what he's going to do with 00:59:22.940 --> 00:59:27.219 the Ayatollah. But but I'm in complete agreement, 00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:30.320 though, like the regime completely has to be 00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:33.539 changed from the inside out. And like I was listening 00:59:33.539 --> 00:59:35.260 to Mark Levin earlier and like he was saying. 00:59:35.940 --> 00:59:40.440 This is the chance. This is the shot. It has 00:59:40.440 --> 00:59:43.260 to be now. If it's not going to happen now, we're 00:59:43.260 --> 00:59:45.619 never going to get an opportunity like this ever 00:59:45.619 --> 00:59:47.320 again. They're weaker than they've ever been. 00:59:47.579 --> 00:59:50.420 The inflation rate is going crazy there. The 00:59:50.420 --> 00:59:54.679 people are in unanimous agreement. We have to 00:59:54.679 --> 01:00:00.880 overthrow them immediately. Exactly. Trump says 01:00:00.880 --> 01:00:07.340 a lot that he has freed... 837 people from execution 01:00:07.340 --> 01:00:13.440 that what is talking about a lot but what we 01:00:13.440 --> 01:00:19.619 are seeing is that just that's just 137 people 01:00:19.619 --> 01:00:23.760 that are not executed there are hundreds more 01:00:23.760 --> 01:00:30.619 people that are getting executed and i'm i'm 01:00:30.619 --> 01:00:36.010 just really Disappointed in Trump because the 01:00:36.010 --> 01:00:43.769 number 837 seems so big in his eyes. But in our 01:00:43.769 --> 01:00:49.449 eyes, that's just a little. Yeah, that's a very 01:00:49.449 --> 01:00:53.429 tiny number. What would you say that your estimates 01:00:53.429 --> 01:00:58.489 are of how many people have been killed? I would 01:00:58.489 --> 01:01:05.010 say at least 100 ,000. Yeah, that's what I suspected. 01:01:05.369 --> 01:01:08.250 I was thinking that it was closer to that number 01:01:08.250 --> 01:01:13.670 as well. And you would say, I'm guessing, that 01:01:13.670 --> 01:01:18.110 there was no stopping, because they claimed that 01:01:18.110 --> 01:01:22.190 those were all done in one day. But no, it's 01:01:22.190 --> 01:01:25.750 every single day, right? It's every single day. 01:01:27.070 --> 01:01:31.289 Even today, there were some executions. I don't 01:01:31.289 --> 01:01:37.039 know. why people I don't know why Trump is so 01:01:37.039 --> 01:01:43.500 it's his waiting I don't really can tolerate 01:01:43.500 --> 01:01:47.019 his waiting because that's our lives on the line 01:01:47.019 --> 01:01:54.119 yeah even if the regime finds out that I'm talking 01:01:54.119 --> 01:01:58.300 with you right now in your in this program I 01:01:58.300 --> 01:02:02.449 will be executed And there will be no news about 01:02:02.449 --> 01:02:06.110 me. No one will find out about me being executed. 01:02:06.829 --> 01:02:11.369 They just knock your door, says, oh, you come 01:02:11.369 --> 01:02:16.269 here and take you out. And you are executed. 01:02:16.389 --> 01:02:19.250 That's all. There is no documentation. There 01:02:19.250 --> 01:02:25.889 are no news, nothing. Like killing an ant. There 01:02:25.889 --> 01:02:29.030 is no court. Yeah, there's no court of appeal 01:02:29.030 --> 01:02:31.110 or any evidence or any proof. They just have 01:02:31.110 --> 01:02:34.210 to they they could just say that you are doing 01:02:34.210 --> 01:02:39.170 it and then that's enough for it. That's right. 01:02:42.690 --> 01:02:48.690 OK, is there is there since we're already at 01:02:48.690 --> 01:02:53.409 an hour now, I guess we'll I'll start winding 01:02:53.409 --> 01:02:57.699 everything down. So I was going to say. But I 01:02:57.699 --> 01:03:00.000 want us to stay in contact, though, because I 01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:02.260 enjoyed this conversation a lot. I think that 01:03:02.260 --> 01:03:04.139 it was really great. And I really appreciate 01:03:04.139 --> 01:03:07.539 you coming on the show and taking the time to 01:03:07.539 --> 01:03:12.619 do all that. And I wanted to tell you that the 01:03:12.619 --> 01:03:16.579 people of America, the people, the real people 01:03:16.579 --> 01:03:20.099 of the United States and Israel and Europe and 01:03:20.099 --> 01:03:23.519 all over the world are with. The people in the 01:03:23.519 --> 01:03:25.659 country, we understand and we see what's going 01:03:25.659 --> 01:03:27.880 on and we really do understand what it is. So 01:03:27.880 --> 01:03:31.639 we are all with you and we are all praying for 01:03:31.639 --> 01:03:34.940 you. And we're going to believe heavily that 01:03:34.940 --> 01:03:37.139 this thing is going to be overturned. So I just 01:03:37.139 --> 01:03:41.619 wanted to give you one last opportunity for anything 01:03:41.619 --> 01:03:44.639 at all that you want to say to the world or Trump 01:03:44.639 --> 01:03:47.260 or people in the world or anything at all that 01:03:47.260 --> 01:03:54.679 you want to say. I want to thank everyone who 01:03:54.679 --> 01:04:01.139 is stepping for Iranians, who is being our voice. 01:04:01.480 --> 01:04:13.320 And thank you all for caring about Iran. 100%. 01:04:13.320 --> 01:04:17.519 All right. So thank you for coming on the show. 01:04:17.639 --> 01:04:19.960 I guess that's where we're going to end it. And 01:04:19.960 --> 01:04:24.260 I'll stay in contact with you. And I'm going 01:04:24.260 --> 01:04:28.860 to hop off here real quick and edit everything 01:04:28.860 --> 01:04:31.960 out. And I'll let you know as soon as it gets 01:04:31.960 --> 01:04:34.400 published up so that you guys can go check it 01:04:34.400 --> 01:04:39.460 out and everything. Thanks. Yeah, absolutely, 01:04:39.780 --> 01:04:43.179 man. I love you guys, man. I'm really with you. 01:04:43.219 --> 01:04:47.440 I'm really right there with you guys. I watch 01:04:47.440 --> 01:04:49.860 the news every day. And, you know, there's nothing, 01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:53.099 there's no words. You know, you try to think 01:04:53.099 --> 01:04:56.440 of what to say and how to explain to people that 01:04:56.440 --> 01:04:57.659 you're with them, but there's really nothing 01:04:57.659 --> 01:05:00.519 that you could say to what's going on inside 01:05:00.519 --> 01:05:04.500 of the country. It's nothing that, there's no 01:05:04.500 --> 01:05:08.679 words to describe what could be said. how much 01:05:08.679 --> 01:05:10.940 you're with the people and how much you're right 01:05:10.940 --> 01:05:13.500 there in the fight. And if you could be, you'd 01:05:13.500 --> 01:05:15.760 be right there in the fight with them. But I 01:05:15.760 --> 01:05:19.320 know it seems really dark and it seems really 01:05:19.320 --> 01:05:22.820 hopeless, but I'm telling you, I know and I believe 01:05:22.820 --> 01:05:27.000 100 % that freedom is on the horizon. Freedom 01:05:27.000 --> 01:05:30.039 is coming and the Ayatollah is going to fall. 01:05:30.480 --> 01:05:33.239 And I think it's going to happen a lot sooner 01:05:33.239 --> 01:05:35.300 than people realize. So I want the people there 01:05:35.300 --> 01:05:38.280 to understand. To hold on to hope and to keep 01:05:38.280 --> 01:05:42.920 fighting because it's always darkest right before 01:05:42.920 --> 01:05:45.079 the dawn. For whatever reason that is, it always 01:05:45.079 --> 01:05:47.679 seems to be the worst right before it breaks. 01:05:48.280 --> 01:05:52.139 But I love you guys, man. So I'll keep praying 01:05:52.139 --> 01:05:54.320 for you guys and appreciate you coming on the 01:05:54.320 --> 01:05:59.679 show. I appreciate you as well. And thank you 01:05:59.679 --> 01:06:04.440 a lot for being our voice. I'm happy if I have. 01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:08.679 They can step if I have done a job for my people. 01:06:10.860 --> 01:06:16.920 And there is nothing more to say. I just want 01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:25.539 to show my graduation video people. All right. 01:06:25.559 --> 01:06:32.619 That sounds great. I appreciate it, man. So that's 01:06:32.619 --> 01:06:32.739 all.
