00:00:00.000 Goldie, so FIFA is planning to ban the pre-revolution Iranian flag from stadiums at this year's World Cup here in North America, right?
00:00:09.100 So tell me what is so controversial about the lion and the sun there.
00:00:14.960 There's absolutely nothing controversial about it whatsoever.
00:00:17.780 I mean, to put this in perspective, imagine if during World War II, FIFA said that the flag of Germany is banned, but the flag of Nazi Germany, the swastika, is allowed.
00:00:28.660 That's exactly what's happening right now. 0.87
00:00:30.680 The flag of the Islamic regime is the flag of terrorists. 0.87
00:00:33.500 It's the equivalent of the flag of Nazi Germany. 0.98
00:00:36.580 And FIFA is unfortunately and very shamefully taking the side of Islamic terrorists 0.84
00:00:41.320 that have murdered over 40,000 innocent unarmed Iranians in just two days alone, January 8 and 9. 0.98
00:00:48.460 But one thing I can tell you is that, you know, we Iranians,
00:00:51.320 we have not survived 47 years of Islamic oppression by remaining silent.
00:00:55.200 And in fact, His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, who's the leader of the Iranian opposition,
00:01:03.060 he has put out a call for Iranians to go to the FIFA stadium wherever the matches are happening
00:01:09.720 and to take the lion and sun flag with them so that we can demonstrate to the world who we are and what we're fighting for. 0.78
00:01:17.720 Because the Lion and Sun flag, that emblem has existed for thousands of years, and it will exist for thousands of years longer after we eradicate the Islamic regime off the face of the earth. 0.95
00:01:29.880 Yeah, it's like the Don't Tread on Me flag here in the United States, which was the symbol of freedom and revolution from England. 0.99
00:01:38.080 And, of course, that became a, you know, as the left loves to do, that became a symbol of hate.
00:01:43.080 And that's why I have the Lion and Sun flag on top of my head.
00:01:46.400 I saw that. Yeah, I was going to mention that. Hey, thank you both. Enjoy the weekend.
