Goldie Ghamari - Iran before 1979： Democracy or Dictatorship？ - PART 1

00:00:00.000 .

00:00:30.000 Thank you.

00:01:00.000 We'll be right back.

00:01:30.000 Thank you.

00:02:00.000 well hello everyone welcome to tonight's edition of the goalie show

00:02:29.920 where we are going to talk about all things Iran before 1979 so make sure that you like subscribe

00:02:42.240 share the feed wherever you're watching from and we are about to get started now I actually have

00:02:50.720 played this documentary before but I played it as you know part of one of the Iran revolution

00:02:57.760 live streams kind of like watch parties but I figured this is such an important documentary

00:03:04.800 and it's a three-part series back from 1978-1979 so I decided it would be a good place to restart

00:03:15.120 because there is a lot of misinformation and disinformation that has been that has been put

00:03:22.320 out there by the Marxists, by the Islamists, by, you know, the communists and the jihadis.

00:03:29.620 So yeah, you know, I think it's a really good place to start because the information that we're

00:03:36.140 about to watch and the information we're about to receive is from a documentary that is not

00:03:45.540 really well known. And so I think that this is going to answer a lot of questions about

00:03:52.260 the Shah of Iran, the previous Shah of Iran, the Pahlavi dynasty. And it's also going to address

00:04:01.820 a lot of the fake news out there about, you know, where the communists and the Islamists and the

00:04:09.260 jihadis are like the shell was a dictator and blah blah blah blah right like um all that bs

00:04:16.740 propaganda that um especially for americans you guys hear about president trump right like it's 0.92

00:04:24.180 it's the same group of people it's the same marxists islamists and you know the leftists

00:04:29.700 who accuse president trump of you know being an authoritarian dictator which is utter nonsense by 0.95

00:04:37.040 the way, as you guys know, complete and utter nonsense. But it's that same ideology. It's that

00:04:43.640 same group of bad actors and the influencers behind them, which we'll get into later.

00:04:54.000 It's the same exact thing. So for many of you who are dealing with this growing phenomenon of

00:05:02.060 Trump derangement syndrome. We Iranians, we've actually been dealing with Pahlavi derangement

00:05:09.100 syndrome for over 50 years, if not longer. So let's dive in and let's just, you know,

00:05:18.700 get right into it because it's very telling. It's very telling here. So I have the documentary

00:05:26.540 ready to go and let's go ahead and and this is this is part one of a three-part documentary

00:05:34.700 so let's go ahead let's get started and uh yeah i'm looking forward to watching watching

00:05:41.980 this documentary with you because this is going to answer a lot of your questions about what

00:05:49.180 Iran really was like before the 1979 Islamic coup d'etat. And it's also going to address the

00:06:00.040 question as to why Iranians today support His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of Iran,

00:06:11.620 Reza Pahlavi, right? There's a reason. There is a historical reason for that. And everything 1.00

00:06:18.800 that you think you know about Iran is probably wrong. So let's, let's dive in. Let's get started.

00:06:32.380 I still remember it. There was an old man there coming every day to supply our school with milk.

00:06:39.300 and probably he had heard of me and one day he asked me where are you coming from Persia

00:06:49.440 I said Persia oh he said oh I know it's in America when I was in America in 1964

00:06:58.980 almost nobody knew where Iran was and they would ask me questions like you know how did you get 0.58

00:07:05.560 here and i would say i came with plane of course and they look as if they don't believe it they

00:07:11.640 they couldn't believe you know we had planes so after a while i started saying you know i came

00:07:15.800 with flying flying carpet i came on a flying carpet and they look as if they really believe

00:07:22.200 isn't that crazy like people actually believe this guy like like people non-iranians back in the 60s

00:07:30.200 and 70s were more prone to believing that iranians came to the united states on magic flying carpets

00:07:42.760 than on planes yeah

00:07:51.640 Iran or Persia as it was known for most of its history is that so I've spoken about this before

00:08:02.260 but in a previous documentary watch party but what you're seeing here the crossroads are what

00:08:09.400 you're seeing here in this scene this is not a typical school in Iran this is what was called

00:08:17.440 a rural roaming school. So one of the things that the Shah of Iran, the previous Shah of Iran

00:08:26.140 wanted to do is he wanted to combat illiteracy. He wanted to raise the literacy rate.

00:08:32.600 However, he also recognized that there were a lot of various nomadic tribes whose entire

00:08:42.400 lifestyle was, you know, nomadic. So instead of forcing the children of Iranian nomads to

00:08:52.960 go to a town or a city, and instead of forcing them to separate from their parents in order to 0.72

00:09:02.460 get an education. Instead, what the Shah did is he sent teachers to each of these nomadic tribes. 0.76

00:09:13.660 And so this teacher, right, he's from, you know, probably university trained in Tehran.

00:09:21.380 so he was actually assigned to this tribe and the Shah created something called mobile schools

00:09:32.720 so instead of forcing children to go to school away from their parents the Shah took the schools

00:09:41.660 to the children so that the children did not have to leave their parents the children

00:09:48.580 could continue you know living that nomadic lifestyle that traditional nomadic lifestyle

00:09:55.160 and at the same time they would get an education so um this here this is not how iranian schools

00:10:03.760 are this is this is a nomadic rural tribal school so i just wanted to give you a little bit of

00:10:09.060 context there right yeah oh my gosh you're absolutely right omid yeah well this is the

00:10:14.360 thing. Like the Islamists and the communists are like, the Shah was a dictator. Why would he care

00:10:19.900 about education for nomadic children? You're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. 1.00

00:10:25.540 And this is why these documentaries are so important, because this is a kind of knowledge

00:10:31.860 and information that we Iranians have. But a lot of Iranians don't know about this. And so I hope

00:10:38.680 that by watching this documentary. This will give you a better understanding of why Iranians today

00:10:47.920 support His Royal Highness King Nizal Pahlavi, and we only trust King Nizal Pahlavi to transition us 0.52

00:10:56.340 from a brutal Islamic dictatorship to a functioning secular democratic society.

00:11:02.840 And that's because the Pahlavi family, the Pahlavi dynasty, has a well-documented history of modernizing Iran, of caring about the people, of giving back to the people.

00:11:19.320 And this right here is a perfect example of that.

00:11:25.060 Of the Middle East and Asia. 0.58

00:11:32.840 in the so-called free world the image of iran is of a land where oppression rules

00:11:42.560 it's often stated or implied that iran is a police state if it was this series of film

00:11:48.840 reports could not have been made iran is a paradox it's an anti-communist state with a

00:11:55.680 leader who's putting into practice the policies which so the reason that Iran was an anti-communist

00:12:06.360 state is because um at that time Iran actually shared a border with the USSR and the USSR was

00:12:17.040 trying to bring Iran under the Iron Curtain. So in order to fight against communism, the Shah of

00:12:25.880 Iran banned communism. Now, the reason that he banned communism was because the way that the

00:12:35.360 Soviets were trying to bring Iran under the Iron Curtain is that they were training and indoctrinating

00:12:42.780 Iranians, and the vast majority of terrorists back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s were actually

00:12:51.460 communists or Marxists, and they were funded and trained by the Soviets at the time.

00:13:00.200 Some revolutionaries only shout about.

00:13:05.320 Eat them! Eat them!

00:13:12.780 . 1.00

00:13:42.780 Persia

00:14:11.780 Persia was the first world power.

00:14:14.680 More than two and a half thousand years ago, this city of Persepolis, now in splendid ruin, was the center.

00:14:21.180 Oh, we have a super chat.

00:17:16.660 Okay.

00:17:24.540 all right here you go guys this is my interview from i20 with i24 from a few days ago

00:17:33.340 evening goldie we're very glad to have you here in our show

00:17:36.940 how are you how are you doing hello good good evening everyone thank you so much for having me

00:17:41.500 here uh it's uh it's it's by the way i also want to mention because of the time difference

00:17:48.620 um like i had to do this interview at like 6 a.m in the morning so i was a little bit i was a little

00:17:57.280 bit sleepy but it's fine but uh yeah that's just you know that's the life not that i'm complaining

00:18:03.260 but there you go so this this interview i did at like 6 a.m my time good evening goldie we're very

00:18:09.180 glad to have you here in our show how are you how are you doing hello good good evening everyone

00:18:14.640 thank you so much for having me here uh it's uh it's it's great to be here uh i'm doing okay

00:18:20.160 given the circumstances how about yourself uh we're watching we try to analyze what's going on

00:18:27.280 between a war and a negotiation but the main question is do we really know what's happening

00:18:33.040 inside iran we just saw this lady speaking in the tick tock that she's she's telling to the world

00:18:39.200 that the regime are killing those demonstrators and the people in the in the websites and then

00:18:45.120 the social media telling they're telling her you're pro israel you are a pro pro united states 0.96

00:18:51.520 what's going on inside iran so it's absolutely true the islamic regime is murdering uh yeah 0.92

00:18:58.240 iranians every day they're executing them every day uh this comes after of course back in january 0.95

00:19:03.440 8 and 9. In two days alone, the regime killed over 40,000 innocent unarmed Iranians. You know,

00:19:09.980 there's a reason that the internet right now has been shut down for almost 70 days. So the Islamic 1.00

00:19:16.780 regime has shut off the internet, cutting off 90 million Iranians from the rest of the world 0.98

00:19:22.740 because they don't want the world to know the truth. And what they have done instead is they're 0.90

00:19:27.540 using the same people who have been spreading lies about israel in the last two and a half years

00:19:33.800 almost three years now since october 7 that same group of people is now attacking us iranians

00:19:40.240 they're saying you know we're mossad agents we're cia uh you know we're israeli or jewish or whatever

00:19:47.120 the case might be uh because they're trying to delegitimize us but the truth is that uh you know

00:19:52.620 we Iranians, of course we support Israel, we support the IDF, because the IDF is helping to 0.84

00:19:58.080 free us from this brutal Islamic regime. Do you have an answer why the big promise of the street, 1.00

00:20:05.740 the Iranian street, didn't happen? Trump said at the beginning of the war, help is in the way,

00:20:12.920 and we saw all the Muslims. Suddenly, during the war, we don't see nothing in the streets. Why?

00:20:18.440 because they oppress them or there is no no no power in the street or maybe disappointed 0.99

00:20:24.140 no they're definitely not disappointed so Iranians are right now waiting to get back onto the streets

00:20:30.580 they're waiting for the call of his royal highness the crown prince of Iran Reza Pahlavi

00:20:36.040 the reason it didn't happen during the war is because even president Trump himself

00:20:40.620 was saying to Iranians, stay home. It's dangerous to be outside right now. So stay home. When the

00:20:49.020 operation is done, you will get the signal. What we also know is that President Trump tried to

00:20:55.120 arm the Iranian people back in January, February. However, in the last few days, President Trump

00:21:02.320 confirmed that those arms, those weapons did not reach the Iranian people. Instead, the Kurdish

00:21:08.740 separatist groups in iraq stole those weapons but now it seems as if there might be a second attempt

00:21:15.620 so um the reason that iranians haven't risen up yet it's not because they've lost hope it's because

00:21:21.620 they're waiting for the right time and i think that time is coming sooner rather than later

00:21:26.500 i hope so uh benny here in the studio want to ask you a question hello goldie this is ben

00:21:31.780 Sabti we know each other from the social media. I'm very glad to see you here and thank you for

00:21:41.540 being with us here. I want to ask you about the role of Iranians in diaspora and even in Israel.

00:21:48.180 How do you see our role no matter here or in Europe or in America? How can we be united as

00:21:56.020 you see around maybe the prince around other normal and liberal figures in the opposition

00:22:02.980 in diaspora and help the iranians inside iran to to have the confidence to come out again and

00:22:09.700 to have some leadership maybe and to help them to be free you know i think um one thing about

00:22:17.460 the iranian diaspora right now is that no matter where we are around the world whether we're in

00:22:22.260 israel or canada or you know wherever else um we have never been more united you know one of the

00:22:27.700 things that's that's really amazing about you know iranians in general is that no matter you know

00:22:33.700 what religion we are what part of the world we're in you know we're all united by this iranian

00:22:38.420 identity and right now more than ever the fact that all of us no matter where we are around the

00:22:43.940 world we are being a voice for people inside of occupied iran that's really important and i think

00:22:50.500 as well it's really important that we continue to support uh the crown prince reza pahlavi to

00:22:56.820 amplify his message because that's what the iranian people inside want and they have paid for that 0.50

00:23:03.060 with blood and you know the other thing that i think is is very important is to continue 0.97

00:23:08.020 um at our demonstrations um to to raise the flag of israel to to raise the flag of the united states

00:23:15.780 as well to show that we are you know supportive of and grateful to israel and the united states

00:23:23.780 uh for helping to liberate the iranian people by attacking the islamic regime

00:23:29.540 well we hope we hope we're gonna see those days uh goldie gomahari thank you very much for your

00:23:35.860 things you're doing for your work and hope for a better better future for the iranian people

00:23:41.540 and for your courage and for your courage roots it thank you very kind of you to say thank you

00:24:48.480 Would you like me to play the Mark Levin segment was also really good?

00:24:54.600 I mean, it might not be a bad thing to watch what Mark Levin said,

00:25:02.320 because that will also help to put into context

00:25:08.720 what's happening in occupied Iran right now

00:25:15.060 versus how Iranians lived before 1979, right? 0.68

00:25:22.780 Is it true? 1.00

00:25:24.600 Oh, yeah, absolutely.

00:25:26.260 Of course, it was the imperial state of Iran,

00:25:29.040 literally the coolest name.

00:25:31.420 Imperial state of Iran.

00:26:22.060 And yeah, it's heavy.

00:26:27.660 I want to talk to you about the people.

00:26:30.500 the Persian people, 92 million Persian people,

00:26:38.420 the vast majority of whom want to live in freedom.

00:26:43.220 I want to talk to you about humanity.

00:26:46.660 I want to talk to you about Judeo-Christian values and beliefs.

00:26:50.420 Some of you may have gone to church today or temple,

00:26:53.720 or you just have these moral and ethical beliefs.

00:26:57.680 maybe you've been taught them maybe they're intuitive you know right from wrong and good

00:27:03.920 from evil so I want to talk to you about the tens of millions of people in Iran

00:27:09.280 who for 47 years have been treated like animals yeah who've been imprisoned tortured raped murdered

00:27:18.080 by the tens of thousands who've been told what kind of music they can and cannot listen to that's

00:27:24.020 I want to talk about young women, the daughters, the sisters, the mothers in Iran who are forced

00:27:29.780 to cover their heads and have no rights, let alone equal rights, and are subjected to the

00:27:35.300 worst kind of abuses. I want to talk to you about the young people, the young people generally in

00:27:41.000 Iran, who want to enjoy their youth, experience new things, happy things, who want to learn new

00:27:47.180 things, who are the primary target of Iran's secret police, who are being rounded up, who are

00:27:53.180 being summarily executed, mostly in secret. I want to talk to you about those in our country

00:27:58.120 who fancy themselves liberals, human rights activists, civil libertarians who don't give

00:28:04.700 a damn about any of this, who don't speak out, who will not speak out, because the Democrat Party 0.68

00:28:12.440 or the political entity they belong to, the Marxists and the Islamists, they hate America 0.95

00:28:21.040 and israel so much they'd rather tens of thousands more iranians guys so just just to let you know

00:28:29.740 the marxists and islamists that mark levin is talking about here those were the same marxists 0.80

00:28:36.520 and islamists that ruined iran back in 1979 those are the same marxists and islamists that's the

00:28:45.140 same ideology that accused our beloved Shah of being a dictator and Iran being an authoritarian

00:28:54.720 state before 1979. And it's like the gaslighting is unreal because as Iranians, we know what Iran 0.61

00:29:03.800 was like before 1979. And we see what Iran is today. It's not even comparable. Like Iran before 0.99

00:29:11.960 1979 was a liberal paradise. And the same people that are now defending the Islamic regime are the 0.98

00:29:25.160 ones who were against the Shah and were the ones who wanted to turn Iran into a 7th century Islamic 0.58

00:29:34.080 hellhole and it's those same people today that are attacking america and are attacking uh the

00:29:42.880 american way of life and are attacking you um and are attacking president trump so guys like this

00:29:51.440 is all connected this is all connected iran was the testing grounds for what for what you're seeing

00:29:57.760 today and we iranians we're paying the price in blood 0.99

00:30:08.240 die horrible deaths let me go back so much they belong to the marxists and the islamists 0.99

00:30:15.920 they hate america and israel so much they'd rather tens of thousands more iranians die 1.00

00:30:23.040 horrible deaths than see our country defeat this homicidal regime 0.95

00:30:29.760 they're not in the streets they're not marching where all the religious leaders there's some

00:30:38.000 where are they i don't hear them do you hear them i want to talk about the silence of the so-called

00:30:45.680 women's groups who are so tied into the fanatical and radical left that they haven't said a word

00:30:52.800 about the mass abuse and rapes of the women and girls by the iranian regime nothing no marches

00:31:00.640 no press conferences they're not on tv where are they nowhere i want to talk about

00:31:11.040 the so-called religious left in our country that despite wholesale slaughter of innocent civilians

00:31:18.720 They're carrying the water with a so-called anti-war movement. 0.57

00:31:24.840 I want to talk about those who say the Iranian regime's nuclear threat was not imminent,

00:31:31.200 that this is a war of choice, that this is an illegal war, and so forth. 0.88

00:31:37.220 They care not at all, not one with, that they are not only giving aid and comfort to this horrific enemy,

00:31:46.760 but they are encouraging this enemy to slaughter to execute to rape to torture

00:31:53.380 and to do what homicidal regimes do because they know the enemy that these people are in the bag

00:32:02.320 there is nothing i repeat nothing honorable or righteous about any of these groups any of these

00:32:11.020 individuals and about Americans who are either silent or worse, pretending this genocide is not

00:32:17.880 taking place or knowing it's taking place and turning the other cheek. Shame on those who think

00:32:25.380 this way. Shame on those who are not speaking out. Shame on those who are not acting, particularly

00:32:32.760 those who are in a position to do so. I want to talk about the isolationists.

00:32:41.020 the neo-fascists who accuse our president and our country and our military of imperialism

00:32:48.060 and colonialism in this war who accuse israel and the prime minister there netanyahu of dragging us

00:32:54.780 into a war who accused jews of controlling the president jews controlling our foreign policy

00:33:01.020 and all the rest of the jew hatred they spew and remember guys i had to i had to i had to

00:33:08.140 deal with that nonsense on pierce morgan remember like every single time that i've been on pierce 1.00

00:33:14.380 morgan he's always brought these like idiotic people like chunky yogurt and you know anna 0.99

00:33:21.740 garbage whatever and the only thing that they say to me is oh you're an israeli agent and this is all 1.00

00:33:29.980 Israel's plan, and they deny the massacre, the slaughter, the genocide of Iranians 0.99

00:33:38.100 to my face. Like, they have the audacity to tell me, an Iranian woman, okay, they have the audacity 0.76

00:33:48.460 to tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about, that I'm lying, that I'm an Israeli agent,

00:33:55.840 I'm Mossad and I'm paid to lie.

00:33:59.180 And somehow they think they know the truth.

00:34:01.380 Like, how shameful is that?

00:34:07.280 Yeah, like, it's unimaginable to me. 0.97

00:34:12.420 Like, I cannot even believe that disgusting human beings like that exist, 1.00

00:34:18.340 where these non-Iranian grifters have the audacity to swear at me and call me disgusting 1.00

00:34:31.280 just because I'm raising awareness about my people's fight for freedom 0.99

00:34:36.920 and then they think they know better than me.

00:34:40.900 Like, it's absolutely wild to me.

00:34:44.580 I mean, as a former politician, I've experienced a lot of things, but that experience, like those experiences on Piers Morgan, that was something else. Like I have never, like I just, this is why I avoid like the podcasters, right?

00:35:05.880 And I mean, yes, I mean, I guess now I've sort of become like a YouTube streamer or, you know, whatever. But me streaming on YouTube, it's more just a way to raise awareness about my advocacy. Right.

00:35:23.440 I do this because I'm trying to raise awareness about Iran. 1.00

00:35:29.280 But in the last few months, especially since I've been exposed to these grifters on Piers Morgan, 1.00

00:35:37.080 I've realized that there's like this whole ecosystem out there of these grifting podcasters.

00:35:48.240 And their entire grift is just being contrarian.

00:35:53.440 And never, ever, like never in my life did I ever imagine that there would be people out there 0.97

00:36:03.700 who are defending the Islamic regime and defending the crimes against humanity 0.80

00:36:16.040 of this brutal Islamic dictatorship simply because they are so blinded by their hatred 0.83

00:36:24.700 of the United States and Israel. And yet that's exactly what we are experiencing today. And 0.90

00:36:33.320 I've also noticed that these people, none of them are educated, right? These people

00:36:41.560 have no education, they have no life experience, like they've never held any sort of position of

00:36:49.140 authority or power or anything like that. These are people who have just built a huge following

00:36:59.780 based off of the controversial things that they say. So it's like this never ending cycle that

00:37:10.280 feeds into itself. Right. And so the, the more controversial they become, the more, um, I guess,

00:37:19.080 I guess the more viral their videos go, the more people talk about it and that's how they make

00:37:25.560 money through the views and the clicks and the whatever. So it's, it's like this, it's like the

00:37:31.040 system, the ecosystem feeds into itself. And then these people believe that because, you know,

00:37:39.940 oh, someone has 5 million followers or 10 million followers or I don't know, however many million

00:37:46.140 followers, they view their follow count as legitimacy, right? Like they feel like that

00:37:55.840 is what legitimizes what they're saying and makes it true. And that's really scary, guys.

00:38:02.660 Like we are living in, we're living in a society where people value the number of likes that a video gets over the content of the video.

00:38:20.760 and people will, like, you know, for example, like if a video has 10 million likes and another

00:38:32.220 video has, I don't know, 1 million likes, people will be like, okay, well, if this video has 10

00:38:38.920 million likes, okay, so that must be true because more people are liking it, so it must be legitimate,

00:38:46.380 it, right? So they're equating legitimacy with popularity. And the Islamic regime has been

00:38:55.300 capitalizing on this social media grift for a very long time. The Islamic regime actually has 0.86

00:39:03.860 something called the Ministry of Cyber Warfare. The Islamic regime literally spends upwards of 0.99

00:39:11.360 a billion dollars a year on its cyber warfare army. And this army is meant to go out there 1.00

00:39:20.580 and manipulate the narrative, right? So this army goes out and they prop up posts that are

00:39:28.300 supportive of the Islamic regime narrative and that are anti-America and anti-Israel.

00:39:35.200 and we've even shown some of these posts um on iran revolution live when we have been exposing

00:39:42.800 islamic regime state tv so yeah keep that in mind so what mark levin saying is very true because

00:39:51.340 there is a huge grift out there and and these people are making money off of the torture 0.62

00:40:02.300 suffering rape and execution of the innocent iranian people while the persian people and 1.00

00:40:11.140 and it's just it's it's horrifying let me go back and abuse our policy and all the rest of the jew 0.91

00:40:17.960 hatred they spew let me go back that while the persian and our military of imperialism and

00:40:24.160 colonialism in this war who accuse israel and the prime minister there netanyahu of dragging us into

00:40:30.880 a war who accused jews of controlling the president jews controlling our foreign policy 0.58

00:40:36.880 and all the rest of the jew hatred they spew while the persian people are being slaughtered 0.95

00:40:44.720 and abused you all disgust me the most i want to talk about the fact that despite all the news 0.96

00:40:54.720 coverage all the attention to the deals that the persian people are told to the extent anything is

00:41:02.720 said about them that the conditions for overthrowing the iranian regime a fully armed military security

00:41:11.360 force that numbers 150 000 or more and is further supported by islamist terrorist militias from

00:41:17.840 iraq and elsewhere that now was the time to rise up

00:41:24.000 to rise up with what exactly did they not already rise up in

00:41:29.680 january only to be slaughtered by the tens of thousands

00:41:33.680 and systematically imprisoned and as i speak

00:41:36.960 executions occurring left and right the knocks on the doors

00:41:42.320 like the ss in berlin dragging people out of their homes and out of their businesses

00:41:50.800 they can rise up if we want to encourage them to rise up and i don't think we have to encourage

00:41:56.560 them very much they've already demonstrated these are courageous people who want liberty

00:42:01.520 these are western type people yeah we are if we help arm them they can rise up

00:42:08.400 they can rise up if we help arm them we've done this before to help people seek freedom

00:42:16.520 people who don't number as many as the persian people number

00:42:21.900 people who have didn't demonstrate as these people have demonstrated that they truly want

00:42:28.040 their liberty and they want their lives back i just read that turkey erdogan

00:42:33.480 opposed us arming the kurds since when does erdogan a national socialist islamist who's in 0.56

00:42:43.780 nato for goodness sakes dictate to the west or anybody else what we will or will not do he's 0.96

00:42:51.140 part of the muslim brother he's a problem in and of himself yeah he's his homicidal regime 0.95

00:42:56.720 that throws people in prison, 0.98

00:42:59.600 that disappears them without due process. 1.00

00:43:03.820 I hope we're not listening to Turkey. 1.00

00:43:05.900 I doubt that we are. 0.99

00:43:07.860 But there's no question that we have the capacity

00:43:10.400 to arm these people or some of these people

00:43:14.300 or to help organize a resistance.

00:43:17.700 We did it before.

00:43:19.080 Our CIA had the capacity to do it before.

00:43:21.940 Does it not have the capacity to do it again?

00:43:24.880 Do we not have the will?

00:43:27.440 to do this which would have benefits across the board remove the regime and free the people

00:43:34.720 and any threat to any future nuclear development and ballistic missile development isn't that a

00:43:40.640 good thing for the persian people for the american people the people in the middle east and all over

00:43:47.200 the world there could be a thousand reasons not to help these people not to act and i've no doubt

00:43:55.680 they've been laid down and have been laid out but there's one reason that

00:44:01.500 trumps them all it's more important than them all

00:44:06.680 humanity the will of humanity the great late chief rabbi of the United Kingdom

00:44:19.400 Rabbi Sachs, who passed away a few years ago.

00:44:25.240 He said, when people come to me and they say,

00:44:28.980 why did God allow the Holocaust to occur? 0.92

00:44:34.500 Rabbi Sachs said, and I paraphrase, 0.74

00:44:37.600 God did not allow the Holocaust to occur. 0.93

00:44:40.960 Humanity allowed the Holocaust to occur. 0.89

00:44:46.220 Humanity allowed the Holocaust to occur. 0.79

00:44:49.400 the issue is whether we have the will and our fellow human beings have the will 0.78

00:44:56.380 to help come to the rescue of other human beings when in fact 0.76

00:45:00.500 we are in a position to do so because never before has this iranian nazi regime been on its 0.51

00:45:07.640 back as it is today and to be very clear that is thanks to our president president donald trump 0.67

00:45:16.380 That is thanks to our Secretary of War, to our Secretary of State, to our generals, and our military.

00:45:24.760 That is thanks to the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his ministers, and his military.

00:45:34.760 But let me be clear about our country. 0.74

00:45:36.520 The only president with the courage, the wisdom, the fortitude to confront this Nazi-like regime, this mass-murdering, nuclear-obsessed Islamist enemy, the world's enemy, is Donald Trump. 0.72

00:45:56.060 and unlike other such circumstances around the world where genocide is taking place 0.79

00:46:02.280 and as a practical matter we can't get involved in all of them

00:46:06.780 in iran we have the opportunity to do something about it

00:46:10.600 now we're at the door

00:46:13.320 we're at the door we can hear the people begging us

00:46:20.040 oh my gosh they hear our bombs they hear our missiles or they did

00:46:26.260 despite the regime turning out the lights and turning off all means of communication

00:46:32.340 we know damn well what's going on there

00:46:34.620 iran is the biggest concentration camp in human history right now it is it is we know damn well

00:46:43.220 what's going on near the end of world war ii when concentration camps are being liberated

00:46:49.040 one camp in particular, General Dwight Eisenhower, he insisted that his fellow four-star generals

00:46:58.780 accompany him and walk through the concentration camp, was shocked and disgusted.

00:47:06.060 And he wrote General Marshall, he wrote the president, he wrote the prime minister of

00:47:11.480 Britain, Winston Churchill, and he said, never before have I ever seen such evil.

00:47:16.880 This is a man that led our armed forces in World War II.

00:47:20.120 Never before have I seen such inhumanity.

00:47:25.260 It was so bad, the stench from rotting bodies,

00:47:29.740 that George Patton refused to go into one of the buildings

00:47:32.380 because he said he had seen enough.

00:47:36.720 They were all horrified.

00:47:38.620 Men who had seen everything, but they'd never seen that.

00:47:43.180 They had never seen that.

00:47:45.700 We don't have that excuse.

00:47:48.900 Modern technology, and for other reasons, we know what's going on in that country.

00:47:55.280 We know what's taking place.

00:47:58.320 We pedestrians, we've seen it on the Internet.

00:48:01.340 And it's hard to look at.

00:48:04.400 Let us not make that mistake.

00:48:07.440 I already believe it was a mistake when the slaughter that took place on October 7, 2023 1.00

00:48:13.140 at the Nova Festival grounds videotaped not by the press but by the subhuman 0.65

00:48:21.600 animals who committed those monstrous acts of inhumanity they videotaped it

00:48:28.200 I think it was a mistake that those videotapes weren't widely released as

00:48:34.380 horrible as they are as as the parents didn't want them released and it's

00:48:40.680 certainly understandable. But I think this horrific spread of anti-Semitism and Jew hatred and Israel

00:48:47.900 hatred that is taking place in virtually every capital in the West and beyond, including in our 0.92

00:48:53.920 country, through podcasters, through organized groups, I think this would have gone a long way

00:49:02.320 to blunt their lies and to stop what's taking place. Let's not make that mistake again.

00:49:10.680 Oh, my gosh. Wow.

00:49:20.040 More proof that radicals rule the Democratic Party?

00:49:24.520 Yeah, guys. I need a few minutes. I'll be back. I'll be back. That was a very powerful speech by Mark Levin.

00:49:40.680 Give me five minutes.

00:49:41.560 I'll be back.

00:50:01.440 47 years we've been bleeding in the dark 1.00

00:50:06.300 Under the shadow of the Islamic regime 0.98

00:50:10.280 With a stone cold heart 1.00

00:50:13.620 They silenced our voices

00:50:16.340 They turned off our light

00:50:19.340 Fifty-eight days without internet

00:50:22.280 But we still fought the night

00:50:26.000 Our children took the streets

00:50:29.120 They raised their empty hands

00:50:32.440 And the world looked away

00:50:35.340 Do you understand?

00:50:38.060 Do you know Europe? Do you know what's been done? Do you know Europe? 42,000 souls are gone, killed in two days, by a regime drenched in blood.

00:50:57.140 Do you know you're up, or have you just given up?

00:51:03.840 Do you know you're up, do you feel anything at all?

00:51:10.140 Or did something break inside you, while I ran and answered the call?

00:51:19.380 Do you know you're up?

00:51:20.960 42,000 lives

00:51:25.300 Two days, that's all it took

00:51:28.100 Mothers and fathers and sons

00:51:32.580 Did you even look?

00:51:34.680 We stand with Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi

00:51:37.640 Our hope and voice

00:51:40.820 Millions behind him marching

00:51:43.760 He is our only choice

00:51:46.920 He only fights for freedom

00:51:49.320 Democracy and human rights

00:51:52.320 But you mock him in your chambers

00:51:55.900 While he fights for our lives

00:51:59.380 To pull us out of this darkness

00:52:01.780 This century-long night

00:52:04.780 While you sign deals with our killers 0.82

00:52:07.880 And call it diplomatic rites

00:52:12.000 Do you know Europe?

00:52:15.140 Do you know what's been done?

00:52:17.760 Do you know you're up?

00:52:19.980 They hang 60, 40 souls one by one

00:52:23.940 Hang within four months

00:52:26.380 By a regime drenched in blood

00:52:30.120 Do you know you're up?

00:52:33.160 Or have you just given up?

00:52:36.740 Do you know you're up?

00:52:39.220 Do you feel anything at all?

00:52:42.760 Or did something break inside you?

00:52:45.980 While I ran and answered the call

00:53:15.980 What happened to you, Europe?

00:53:23.000 What made you so cold?

00:53:25.480 What turned your heart to stone

00:53:28.600 While our story went untold?

00:53:32.360 Is oil worth more than blood?

00:53:35.400 Is silence worth the shame?

00:53:38.040 Because while you negotiate with murderers

00:53:42.860 We are dying 0.99

00:53:45.920 Calling your name

00:53:52.140 Do you know you're a friend?

00:53:56.740 Do you know what's been done?

00:53:59.760 Do you know you're a friend?

00:54:02.420 42,000 souls are gone

00:54:05.580 Killed in two days

00:54:07.680 By a regime drenched in blood

00:54:11.960 Do you know you're up, or have you just given up?

00:54:18.200 Do you know you're up?

00:54:19.900 We are still here, we are still strong

00:54:24.180 Do you know you're up?

00:54:26.100 How much longer, how much longer?

00:54:31.980 How long?

00:54:34.920 Do you know you're up?

00:54:41.960 okay um thanks guys all right i'm back so let's go back to the documentary so

00:54:56.280 now that we watched um that really really informative um

00:55:03.080 video by mark levin that he put out last night i hope it gives you a little bit of context

00:55:10.600 because now we're going to go back to happier days in Iran.

00:55:14.720 Iran, you know, in 1977, 1978.

00:55:19.520 And let's see what the country was actually like

00:55:22.420 before the Marxists and Islamists turned it into a concentration camp. 0.56

00:55:40.600 By the way, this is Persepolis. And oh my gosh, guys, you have no idea. 0.89

00:55:54.720 Like for us Iranians, Persepolis is like our holy ground, our sacred ground, right? Persepolis

00:56:02.120 is basically where the Persian empire was founded. And I've, I've had the honor to walk

00:56:12.960 through the ruins of Persepolis. And it is such a life altering experience for us, right? Like

01:02:46.020 tuned. So make sure that you like, and subscribe and share this channel because tomorrow we will

01:02:52.320 watch the documentary about what ancient Persia looks like and I'm pretty excited to see that as

01:02:58.980 Persia was the first world power.

01:03:26.860 more than two and a half thousand years ago

01:03:29.360 this city of Persepolis

01:03:30.860 now in splendid ruin

01:03:32.400 was the centre of an empire

01:03:34.480 which stretched from Greece to India

01:03:56.860 Dr. Cobra, you remembered. Yes. Yes. Actually. So, um, my ancestry, uh, actually traces back

01:04:13.680 to even pre-Persia. Uh, my ancestry goes back to Elam. You're absolutely right. I'm, I'm

01:04:20.340 Elam, Elamite? I don't know how it's pronounced. But yeah, yeah. I was actually born in the city

01:04:31.140 of Ahvaz, which was built like 2000 years ago. And Ahvaz is about, I would say maybe like 60

01:04:40.320 kilometers, like one, one hour, one hour's drive from the ancient capital of Elam. Yeah. So like,

01:04:50.400 you know, like for, for Christians, you know, whenever you read about Elam in the Bible and

01:04:55.900 like the people of Elam, that's me, that's my people, that's my people. There you go.

01:05:04.160 And my sister as well. My sister was there with me. Yeah. Oh my gosh.

01:05:08.020 in shushinak yeah yeah that's that's where we actually learned about the ancient

01:05:14.720 um uh elamite gods including in shushinak so yeah there you go rose will tell you

01:05:23.520 all about in shushinak she is um a pro with that so just ask her your questions in the live stream

01:05:31.420 according to history it's likely the persians would have expanded still further

01:05:38.920 and become the first supreme power in southeastern europe if the greeks of the mainland had not stopped

01:05:44.860 them sorry so sarah's asking how do you know uh your people go back so far well i mean it

01:05:57.320 Just because the Lor-Bakhtiari tribes, the Lor-Bakhtiari tribes trace their origins back to Elam.

01:06:06.540 So we're Lor-Bakhtiari.

01:06:08.540 So, yeah, that's how we know.

01:06:10.480 it took the persians 65 years to build persepolis with the help of the most skilled craftsmen and

01:06:30.000 materials from every corner of their vast empire the conquering greeks led by alexander destroyed

01:06:39.140 the city oh by the way guys uh before before we continue since rose is here um i just want

01:06:48.420 to give a shout out to rose and there's a reason for that um let me pull up her channel so

01:07:01.860 guys, I recommend that everyone subscribe to Rose's channel. And there's a reason for that. 1.00

01:07:45.080 aerospace experts. So if you guys want to have all the, you know, info and details about space,

01:07:56.440 if you want to, you know, ask someone about space or, you know, all that crazy space,

01:08:04.820 aerospace science stuff, you want to subscribe to Rose Gamma Ray, right? And she's going to be

01:08:14.800 starting her channel pretty soon so yeah she's a little bit shy but you know she'll get there

01:08:24.740 she'll get there so you're not gonna like you do not want to miss out on her content when she

01:08:31.520 starts because she is such an intelligent person she knows everything and anything about like space

01:08:40.700 and, I don't know, like aerospace stuff and, you know, like black holes and galaxies or whatever.

01:08:48.500 But she's also able to explain it in like a very down to earth way that even someone like me can

01:08:54.620 understand. So yeah, everyone subscribe to her channel because she's going to be starting Alien

01:10:02.260 sorry explaining all the stuff so there you go okay back to the program so that was a little

01:10:10.760 commercial break plugging my sister's upcoming YouTube space channel

01:10:15.940 it took the persians 65 years to build persepolis with the help of the most skilled craftsmen and

01:10:27.860 materials from every corner of their vast empire the conquering greeks led by alexander destroyed

01:10:36.980 the city in a few days okay um let me go to a few super chats so uh so kuda says the reason donald

01:10:47.060 j trump wants that dust so we can see where it came from china onoma we can test it to find the

01:10:54.020 origin is that how that works i mean i i thought he just wanted the dust to make sure that the

01:11:01.940 Islamic regime can't use it to create nuclear weapons. But is that a thing? Like, can you

01:11:07.860 trace the origins? Because I thought the Islamic regime, they were creating like all the nuclear 1.00

01:11:15.380 stuff in their underground facilities within occupied Iran. I mean, that's an interesting 1.00

01:11:21.020 theory. Wow. Okay, Plan B gave a super sticker. Thank you. And then Kuda says, what time is your

01:11:30.780 normal live streams. So I have two live streams. Um, I do Iran revolution live at 1 PM Eastern

01:11:39.420 every day. So, you know, tune in at 1 PM Eastern every day for the latest updates on Iran and the

01:11:46.820 Iranian revolution and, you know, politics. And then I do my own sort of documentary watch live

01:11:55.360 stream type thing where, uh, it's a little bit more chill and a little bit more conversational.

01:12:01.740 And, you know, we still talk about Iran. We still talk about middle East. We still talk about

01:12:06.700 geopolitics, but, uh, you know, within the context of watching, um, documentaries. So tonight's

01:12:13.500 documentary is called Iran in search of democracy. It is from 1977. And this is part one of three.

01:12:20.560 if you go to my youtube channel though you'll you'll see where it's all listed out so um

01:12:28.360 yeah but like my other live stream starts at 1 p.m eastern

01:12:33.000 he burned it deliberately because he saw in this the essence of the empire he saw in persepolis

01:12:45.700 the might and culture and everything that persians had seen in their own empire

01:12:51.860 uh in one crucible and he wanted to tell oh okay so this is guys this is the i this is interesting

01:12:59.700 so i didn't know this okay wow okay so apparently the dust has a signature

01:13:08.980 and there are isotopic markers that show regional origin oh wow

01:13:21.220 i believe you can yeah that's the thing you can trace the origins oh oh wow okay you guys i did

01:13:31.900 not know that. Whoa. Wow. Okay. Guys. Okay. So this makes me think that, okay. So, so

01:13:54.840 if this is actually a thing, like, okay. So I didn't know this part because I'm not like

01:13:58.600 a sciencey person, right? Like that's my sister. But if you can actually trace like the origin of

01:14:08.860 of the nuclear dust to wherever it came from, this makes me think right from like a geopolitical

01:14:18.580 kind of perspective analysis that now the likelihood of President Trump

01:14:28.240 putting boots on the ground, not to fight the Islamic regime, but putting boots on the ground

01:14:35.800 to retrieve that dust, to me, that likelihood just went up exponentially because President Trump

01:14:46.800 probably has a very good idea of where this nuclear dust comes from.

01:14:59.340 And he just wants that nuclear dust so that he could confirm his suspicions, right?

01:15:08.860 Like, that's really interesting.

01:15:11.300 Oh, you know, that's okay. That's fine.

01:15:13.940 That's okay. You know what?

01:15:14.960 the the um you know we are a little bit like i'm a little bit more strict um for the morning uh

01:15:22.000 morning live stream just because that you know the focus is purely on iran and like the iranian

01:15:27.260 revolution and updates there but the evening live stream is a little bit more chill it's just you

01:15:32.320 know we we can talk about pretty much anything as long as it's sort of within the you know range of

01:15:39.860 of topics that you know i know about um you know like don't ask me about pop culture because i just

01:15:45.780 i don't know anything about pop culture i don't really care um but this isn't necessarily off

01:15:51.860 topic so i mean that's really interesting wow huh okay them that because it is persepolis and your

01:16:07.620 empire then persepolis is finished and your empire is also finished and in fact this is what happened

01:16:15.140 once persepolis was burned then the persian empire collapsed

01:16:22.820 persepolis was destroyed in 330 bc from that time till recently and apart from

01:16:29.220 brief periods of cultural and artistic achievement the persians were finished

01:16:37.620 from the late 17th century onwards iran's peasants were amongst the poorest 1.00

01:16:46.980 and most backward in the world yeah thanks 1.00

01:16:51.740 yeah and that's thanks to the qajar dynasty the qajar dynasty is a dynasty before 0.51

01:16:59.760 the pahlavi dynasty and the qajar dynasty they were ruled by the islamic clerics so 0.99

01:17:06.320 yeah, the peasants were poor and backwards because Islam, yay, right? It was only when the 1.00

01:17:15.140 Pahlavi dynasty came in that, you know, Iran became modernized and all the peasants were,

01:17:22.680 you know, basically brought out of poverty and serfdom. So yeah, prior to 1925, Iran was literally

01:17:31.100 a backwards backwards underdeveloped third world hellhole governed by mullahs right 0.91

01:17:44.700 and that's why the mullahs hates the pahlavi dynasty 1.00

01:17:50.540 the peasants had no human or legal rights of any kind they were exploited without mercy from within

01:17:57.340 by the landlords and iran's ruling elite and from without by foreign powers mostly russia and britain

01:18:11.820 in the province of baluchistan on modern iran's border with pakistan

01:18:15.820 a tribesman madad notani recalls the life of 25 years ago oh so remember guys this

01:18:22.540 guy he's not a durka this guy is not durka he's a tribesman his turban is different his turban is

01:18:29.900 different than the durka turban guys remember um uh this is what the durka turban looks like

01:18:41.260 right so um

01:18:44.700 I can't even believe I'm looking this up.

01:18:50.080 So gross. 0.96

01:18:51.820 I hate Durka. 0.98

01:18:57.420 I'm too sad to catch at it.

01:19:01.580 Why is this being like this?

01:19:07.980 Ew.

01:19:08.620 Okay, okay.

01:19:09.160 You know what?

01:19:09.600 Let me just...

01:19:10.160 Just...

01:19:11.600 Open image.

01:19:14.700 new top. There we go. Okay. So guys, this is, this is a, this is a Durka. This is a Durka

01:19:22.300 turban, right? It's got like, you know, it's, it's like perfectly round. It looks like a,

01:19:28.840 you know, like a jihadi Durka donut thing, right? Um, however, this, this guy, where is he?

01:19:39.580 this guy, this is, this is different, right? So, uh, turbans are not necessarily a Durka thing,

01:19:48.800 right? Um, my, my father's father actually wore a similar style of turban and it's just, you know,

01:19:58.360 it's something that you wear in, um, in like hot weather and this actually helps to cool your head

01:20:06.160 and it helps to keep you cool. So he is not a Durka. He is a rural villager from, uh, the 1970s. 1.00

01:20:16.400 And he's about to share his life experience where, um, you know, prior to the Shah, uh, the late

01:20:24.420 Shah, um, modernizing his city and town, um, you know, he lived in poverty and then, you know,

01:20:33.640 once the Shah came, things improved. So no, he's not a Durkha. He's not a Durkha. However, 0.97

01:20:44.080 this one is. That's a Durkha. This is a Durkha. You can even see the picture of like 1.00

01:20:52.180 Khamenei, whatever, Khamenei in the background. That's the Durkha. 0.69

01:20:56.860 this guy is just a villager he's cool he's he's actually anti-derka he's anti-derka and he's 0.62

01:21:05.040 actually pro-iran and this guy is pro-sha yeah he's just like a rural villager he's he's like

01:21:12.720 a rural rural villager 25 years ago if a vehicle passed through this area the people in the vehicle

01:21:22.480 would have been done for to begin with then a hundred or so local people would have been killed

01:21:26.880 as well and remember he's he's the original ice because right now he's about to talk

01:21:36.880 he's about to share his story of how um if like foreign invaders from pakistan or afghanistan

01:21:45.840 want to come to iran he's like there's 200 he's like 200 people would risk their lives to save

01:21:56.080 one rock uh from these foreign invaders right so think of like ice these guys are like the original 0.98

01:22:04.480 ice because these guys are the ones who are keeping like the pakistanis and the afghanis 0.98

01:22:10.720 and the durkas out of iran like they were the original durka hunters

01:22:18.960 why because in those days the roads were unsafe there were no schools there were no

01:22:24.640 gendarmery posts there were none of these wells or other developments

01:22:33.520 the people spent most of their lives fighting

01:22:35.920 There is a place near here, 18 miles away, called the cemetery.

01:22:42.920 There are still the graves there of almost 70 Englishmen who were killed as they passed.

01:22:49.920 Our people are buried there too, in fours and sixes.

01:22:56.920 The cause of the killing in the cemetery I told you about

01:23:02.920 told you about was our own territory, our land, and water. 0.53

01:23:16.920 If a foreigner tried to take away a single stone from our territory, we were ready to

01:23:21.920 lose 200 lives to defend it. That was why the killing at the cemetery happened. 0.96

01:23:27.920 if there was water we would last without bread for 30 days we would eat raw meat camel meat mutton

01:23:39.280 beef even with no salt or fire we would roast it in the sun if we put a piece of meat that's okay

01:23:47.760 that is like badass though like uh wow they whoa he's like we would eat camel meat even if we had

01:23:55.440 to roast it in the sun with no fire like that is um yeah that's pretty badass i don't think i could

01:24:02.800 do that i don't think i could do that geez hardcore hardcore uh you know i i have a lot

01:24:12.880 of respect for them a lot of respect for them but yeah on the rock this morning it will be cooked by

01:24:19.280 now we could fight no no they wouldn't eat no no they wouldn't eat raw meat it's almost like they

01:24:25.940 were they would eat like almost like dehydrate like basically he's saying that the weather

01:24:32.180 was so hot the weather would get so hot that they would just put raw meat out on like like just like

01:24:42.100 a stone or something and then like they would put it out in the morning and then by noon it would

01:24:47.460 be baked which is true because the place that i was yeah kind of like jerky it would like turn

01:24:52.420 into jerky almost exactly um and that's actually not far-fetched like i was born in avos avos is

01:25:00.440 also pretty hot right like um i recall as a child like sometimes you know in the summer the weather

01:25:09.040 would get so hot it would reach like 50 degrees celsius wait what's celsius to fahrenheit

01:25:16.420 um 122 so there there would be days when i was in you know in iran in my hometown birth town

01:25:30.420 where the temperature would reach 122 degrees fahrenheit if not more

01:25:37.540 yeah so that's that's 50 degrees celsius 122 fahrenheit yeah like you could you could literally

01:25:50.400 cook an egg like we actually i actually remember doing that experiment one time with like one of

01:25:56.060 my cousins like we put we broke an egg uh we put it in a frying pan and then we just left it outside

01:26:02.960 in the sun um in the morning and then like by the end of the day it was pretty much cooked although

01:26:10.020 we left it outside and then the ants found it so we couldn't actually eat the egg because you know

01:26:16.960 all the ants found the egg and like you know they were like eating the egg or whatever taking it

01:26:22.720 back to their um their ant hole or whatever and then you know my grandmother yelled at us but

01:26:27.900 that's okay so there you go we were kids it was all good um but yeah it gets it gets really hot

01:26:32.360 like it gets so hot you can literally just like put meat out in the sun and that way like it would

01:26:38.340 cook out an enemy for 30 days on that did many of his friends used to die because they were

01:26:49.500 they were hungry or the children did they die yes yes in those days there were no doctors

01:27:00.460 or hygiene care for children no doctor came this way the people just died

01:27:07.540 and i know i've mentioned this before but yes we iranians we come in all shapes and sizes and

01:27:27.220 colors. And yes, there are even Iranians with blonde hair. And you know, light colored eyes,

01:27:34.640 blue eyes, green eyes, like all different colors. My sister Rose, she's actually adopted because

01:27:43.980 she doesn't look like me. My sister Rose actually has like green eyes and light brown hair. So I 1.00

01:27:52.380 don't know where she got those genes from but uh she's adopted so because yeah she doesn't look

01:27:59.920 like me so just saying um but yeah like iranians come in different different colors 1.00

01:28:06.240 10 years ago we could hardly live at all the baluches and the gendarmes were the worst of 0.94

01:28:14.020 if we saw a soldier we used to run away and hide i mean to be fair to be fair i i would 0.98

01:28:22.580 i would tease my sister when she was younger and i would be like hey rose you have brown

01:28:28.660 hair and light colored eyes you're adopted and she would cry so yeah but you know all that to say uh

01:28:37.460 no she's she's obviously not adopted she is my biological genetic sister um but yeah like

01:29:28.500 I teased her all the time. It's terrible. Terrible.

01:29:34.340 I know I was terrible. All right. Let's go back to it. Oh, it means I'm a featured channel

01:29:54.040 as I'm over 200,000. Oh, cool. Thank you. Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you

01:29:59.920 all the support our life before about 10 years ago we could hardly live at all the baluches and 1.00

01:30:08.560 the gendarmes were the worst of all if we saw a soldier we used to run away and hide

01:30:19.280 for the last 10 years or so so far as i can remember

01:30:29.920 I would get grounded for doing that, but I would say that it was honestly, it was worth

01:30:40.440 it. It was worth it. Yep. Yep. Yep. Rose, if you piss me off, I will still sell you.

01:30:48.880 I will still drag you to the local flea market and I'll sell you to the vendors. I can still

01:30:54.260 do that as a result of the will of God and the grace of his majesty we have

01:31:04.520 lived in much more comfort even if we have nothing else we have security did

01:31:11.780 they have enough to eat 10 and 15 years ago and what did they eat food in those

01:31:19.520 days we ate dates. They were brought from Jiroft every three or four days. Okay guys, this part's

01:31:25.660 really important. So she is now speaking about how her people and her tribe lived in poverty

01:31:33.680 and then once the Shah came and, you know, brought people with him to, you know, build schools and

01:31:44.120 build roads and to modernize and to basically improve the quality of life, you know, things

01:31:50.380 improved. But listen to, listen to what she's saying about like what they literally, before

01:31:56.460 they used to eat dates and herbs, right? Like they just, they would eat dates and herbs and

01:32:01.540 that was pretty much it. Days we had flour made of millet or barley. We ate them with animal

01:32:07.600 grasses okay that's not animal grasses it's sabzi this is like okay no one no one in iran eats

01:32:14.720 like what is animal grass that doesn't even make any sense it's sabzi we eat herbs

01:32:22.080 i think i explained this last time but um let me just bring it up again really quickly so like

01:32:29.840 like, sabzi is like a big thing. We all eat it and it doesn't, it, it doesn't really have to do

01:32:39.300 with like being poor or not. It's just like, so sabzi is just like with our food. Okay. So as

01:32:47.600 like a side, side meal, side dish to our, our main meal, we eat fresh herbs and it's a combination

01:32:56.000 of whatever herbs are available. So usually it's like green onion, um, radishes, mint, basil,

01:33:05.480 uh, parsley, you know, whatever. So not necessarily, I mean, I get, we don't call it

01:33:13.960 bitter herbs. It's just herbs, but like, this is a staple. So whenever, whatever we're eating,

01:33:20.080 we always have like herbs with it on the side. So that interpretation in the documentary is wrong

01:33:28.060 because she says Sabzi and Sabzi refers to the herbs. No, it's, it's, no, it's not the,

01:33:40.440 uh, so someone's saying, um, so it isn't the grass. No, it's not the grass that animals

01:33:48.640 drag their bums on. No, because you could actually hear the woman say Sabzi. Um, and

01:33:56.380 this is Sabzi, this here, this is Sabzi. Um, it's just, you know, the, the people who were

01:34:04.140 making this documentary probably had no idea what sabzi is so they just called they just were like

01:34:11.980 okay maybe it's just animal grass which is not accurate at all but you'll hear her say the word

01:34:17.340 sabzi listen she laughed every three or four days we had flour made of millet or barley

01:34:24.140 we ate them with animal grasses she's like well having sabzi on before team so sabzi

01:34:32.060 means with the herbs because they would have like herb gardens so they would plant the herbs and eat

01:34:38.380 the herbs did some of their people used to die because they didn't have enough food in those

01:34:46.460 bad old days yes girls and boys of two or three were fed on those grasses

01:34:55.500 One saw water coming out of their mouths, and they died.

01:35:01.700 There can be few occasions in all of history

01:35:04.440 when the inheritors of an ancient civilization

01:35:07.040 were so thoroughly humiliated by wave after wave of invading forces.

01:35:12.360 Each occupying power left its mark, a scar. 0.98

01:35:16.040 But one thing the Persians never surrendered

01:35:18.460 was their pride in what had been achieved in times past.

01:35:21.900 the man who was to begin the process of renewal was born here in 1878

01:35:28.080 the village of elashed in the mountains which sloped down to iran's border with russia

01:35:32.740 at the time of you know i just want to say one of the reasons that the pahlavi

01:35:43.720 dynasty have been so good for Iran is because they are one of us, right? They are from the people,

01:35:55.540 right? The Pahlavi dynasty come from humble roots and they became the Pahlavi dynasty,

01:36:05.900 not through force, but through the constitution of Iran. It was through a democratically,

01:36:12.940 it was through the vote of the democratically elected parliament of Iran in 1975, sorry,

01:36:20.100 in 1925. So the Pahavi dynasty came to power in 1925, through the vote of the democratically

01:36:30.260 elected parliament at the time called Majlis. And that's why they are so good for Iran, because 1.00

01:36:40.020 um they come from humble beginnings and humble roots and and they're based they're one of us

01:36:47.860 meanwhile the qajar dynasty the qajar dynasty weren't even iranian they were turkish

01:36:53.280 and they you know just had like noble roots or you know whatever um noble royal whatever

01:37:01.680 and they had no connection to the people they had no understanding of what it's like to be

01:37:12.060 you know a normal person or a commoner or a peasant or whatever so they were so out of touch

01:37:17.700 but this is why um the path heavy dynasty is so so respected because um

01:37:25.620 they understand what it's like and anyways let's just continue but yeah you'll see

01:37:32.480 at the time of his birth here the russians and the british low rivals were well on their way

01:37:43.680 to establishing complete control of iran's economy and politics

01:37:47.480 the man from this village who was to challenge the big powers was illiterate

01:37:53.920 his name was reza khan 0.99

01:37:57.820 reza khan refused to tolerate fools and liars when in later years high officials sought to 1.00

01:38:08.980 influence him by flattery he would explode with anger don't be a bloody fool he would say i'm the 1.00

01:38:14.480 son of a peasant the spark right so so like the flattery the flattery from the other 0.94

01:38:23.560 nobles or whatever wouldn't get to him because he would be like i'm not going to fall for this bs

01:38:29.160 like i'm the son of a peasant um and he was not ashamed of that in fact he used that to his

01:38:36.800 advantage which set ablaze the smoldering fire of iranian nationalism was britain's decision

01:38:45.260 in 1919 to convert

01:38:47.300 Iran into a vassal state.

01:38:52.440 Reza Khan 0.99

01:38:53.100 led Iran's nationalists in a successful

01:38:55.440 coup against the government of Ahmed Shah,

01:38:57.540 the last of the Qajar kings.

01:39:01.280 They'd had enough of Ahmed Shah's 0.98

01:39:03.300 continuing capitulation to foreigners. 1.00

01:39:12.480 Yeah, okay, 0.72

01:39:13.440 so that's not entirely accurate.

01:39:15.260 So the coup happened by someone else, and it was the Marxists and communists who actually staged the coup in 1919 and took over Tehran.

01:39:30.460 And Rizakhan, at the time as he was known, he was the leader of the Cossack Brigade.

01:39:37.780 Rizakhan led the counter coup that freed Iran from the communist and Marxist occupation.

01:39:48.760 And he actually reinstalled the Qajar Shah at the time.

01:39:54.080 So that was in 1921.

01:39:55.520 So Reza Khan did the counter coup in 1921, and it was only in 1925 that he became the Shah.

01:40:09.420 In 1926, Reza Khan was proclaimed Shah and became the first king of the Pallavi dynasty.

01:40:23.760 But it was an event which nearly didn't happen.

01:40:32.340 Reza Khan wanted Iran to become a republic with himself as president.

01:40:38.580 Guys, that's baby Shahad Shah.

01:40:42.100 Guys, look, that's baby Aryomer.

01:40:46.200 Look at him.

01:40:47.220 he was eventually persuaded that iran's traditions demanded a restoration of the monarchy

01:40:55.940 yeah did you guys know that reza shah reza shah didn't even want to be shah reza shah

01:41:08.740 wanted a republic he was like no no no let's become a republic you know i will i will you

01:41:16.120 know, I'll become like, I'll run for president or something. And then everyone else was like,

01:41:21.620 no, we've always had a monarchy. So we're going to vote you in as the Shah of Iran. 0.57

01:41:29.600 Like, isn't that, isn't that crazy? You never hear that part of history. All you hear is,

01:41:35.560 oh, Rizal Khan staged the coup and forced himself to become the Shah. But no one ever

01:41:42.440 mentions the fact that he actually initially wanted a republic for the country. Yeah, that's

01:41:49.140 the grandfather of the Kurds, Shah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So he initially wanted Iran to become 0.95

01:41:58.120 a republic, but then he was convinced by everyone that, no, monarchy is part of Iran's heritage,

01:42:08.500 which I agree with, by the way, like, you know, constitutional monarchy, like, you know, I'm

01:42:12.760 Canadian. I live in a constitutional monarchy. I was a Canadian politician within the constitutional

01:42:19.640 monarchy democratic system. So, you know, that's the type of democratic system that I prefer.

01:42:27.460 And he eventually realized, okay, yeah, like the whole concept of monarchy is entrenched

01:42:36.760 within Iranian identity, Iranian culture, Iranian folklore, Iranian, you know, mythology and legend,

01:42:45.080 even our language, right? There's a lot of words that come from the word Shah. So he was like,

01:42:53.320 okay, sure, guys, I wanted a republic. I want to be president. But if that's what you guys don't

01:42:59.920 want, okay, fine, cool, I'll roll with it. And then the democratically elected parliament called

01:43:06.440 majlis voted him in as the new shah of iran yeah that's that's how it that's how it went down

01:43:15.720 and yet people still call him a dictator

01:43:20.040 reza khan wanted iran to become a republic with himself as president

01:43:27.080 he was eventually persuaded that iran's traditions demanded a restoration of the monarchy

01:43:36.440 reza shah's strong brand of nationalism was not merely the product of his mistrust of foreigners

01:43:42.840 his driving force was his faith in the capacity of his people to make iran a great nation again

01:43:48.880 make iran a great nation again guys reza khan sorry reza shah the first

01:43:58.800 he was the original miga like this documentary from 1977 is talking about making iran great

01:44:10.120 again so the concept of miga yeah miga there you go guys miga miga first started in 1925

01:44:18.400 1925 is when miga came look at this monday the restoration of the monarchy

01:44:26.820 Reza Shah's strong brand of nationalism was not merely the product of his mistrust of

01:44:37.180 foreigners.

01:44:38.480 His driving force was his faith in the capacity of his people to make Iran a great nation

01:44:43.340 again.

01:44:45.340 His first showdown with the bullying big powers came in 1931.

01:44:53.900 Even then, the subject of confrontation was oil. 0.73

01:44:59.340 For hundreds of years, some Iranian peasants had been using the stuff to make fuel cakes

01:45:03.800 for their fires.

01:45:05.420 In 1901, the Kajar King awarded to an Australian prospector the exclusive exploration and exploitation

01:45:12.200 rights throughout Iran for a period of 60 years.

01:45:16.440 This key to Iran's future was virtually given away.

01:45:25.300 By the time of the foreigners' first discovery of oil in commercial quantities in 1908, the

01:45:30.820 Anglo-Persian Oil Company had been formed in London to take over the original concession.

01:45:37.400 When the company refused to improve the terms of the concession, Reza Shah canceled the

01:45:42.060 contract.

01:45:43.960 The dispute went to the League of Nations and Reza Shah won.

01:45:47.560 But his victory led to increasing bitterness between Britain and Iran, which eventually cost Reza Shah his throne.

01:45:58.240 The creation of a communications network of roads and railways opened the way to development, progress and change.

01:46:05.480 Under Reza Shah, the country was opened up.

01:46:10.200 Law and order was restored.

01:46:12.920 Nationalism was wielded into a single territorial force.

01:46:16.540 The foundation stones for nation-building were laid. 0.77

01:46:20.620 Iran was on the move again.

01:46:24.040 When the Second World War began, Reza Shah declared his country neutral.

01:46:29.140 At dawn on the 25th of August 1941, the Allies invaded.

01:46:33.840 The Russians from the north, British and Indian forces from the west and the south.

01:46:38.600 When the invasion plan was being discussed, Lord Wavell, the Viceroy of India, wrote to Churchill. 0.87

01:46:45.600 It is essential that we should join hands with Russia through Iran. 0.62

01:46:49.600 If the present government of Iran is not willing to facilitate this, it must be made to give way to one that will. 0.85

01:46:56.600 The war was going badly for the Allies. 0.96

01:46:59.600 Hitler's forces had inflicted defeat on the Russians along a thousand-mile front.

01:47:04.600 so iran became what allied command called the bridge to victory

01:47:08.520 because it was the safest route for supplies to russia

01:47:27.560 why the allies resorted to invasion is still much debated

01:47:31.240 razor shah's refusal to be dictated to by the big powers was a major factor but the records of both

01:47:38.120 sides suggest that invasion wouldn't have been necessary if the allies had been honest with

01:47:43.080 razor shah and had taken him into their confidence the british in particular were not prepared to do

01:47:49.160 that they were too prejudiced against the man who before the war started had signaled his intention

01:47:55.400 to play a leading role in ushering in the twilight of the British Empire.

01:48:11.400 Three weeks after the invasion, broken and humiliated, Reza Shah abdicated.

01:48:17.400 Crown Prince Mohammed Reza, the present Shah, took over.

01:48:20.400 over. The old man was exiled. He died in South Africa in 1944. The loss felt by most Iranians

01:48:31.040 at the moment of abdication was even more profound when Reza Shah's body was eventually

01:48:35.980 returned to Iran for a state funeral. One said, I felt as if the ground on which I stood

01:48:43.240 had been taken from under me. The feeling of security given by knowing that Reza Shah

01:48:48.440 was in his palace, looking after his nation, suddenly disappeared.

01:49:07.720 Reza Shah's defeat and humiliation was the moment when many Iranians lost faith in the

01:49:13.080 belief inspired into them by their king that they could once more be the masters of their

01:49:18.300 own future.

01:49:48.300 After the long journey home from South Africa, Reza Shah's body was laid to rest in Tehran.

01:50:04.300 What is your interpretation of the events which ended with your father's abdication?

01:50:09.300 Do you think perhaps with hindsight that he might have been a bit stubborn and refused to compromise and to some extent brought the trouble on himself?

01:50:17.300 or do you think the Allies were determined to force him to go?

01:50:20.300 No, they were determined, no doubt.

01:50:22.300 I was living every minute of those days.

01:50:27.300 And I remember we sending messages to the Western countries,

01:50:40.300 that's what you want, we know that you are cooking up something.

01:50:46.300 a reply never came they wanted to get rid of somebody who was independent and who have

01:50:55.420 eventually asked some price for the allies to take advantage of our lines of communication

01:51:04.060 our ports our way roads do you know that during the war 11 million tons of goods

01:51:10.860 were transported through this country from the western world to the soviet union

01:51:18.140 so they didn't want him to be around was it what was it you think that they objected to that he was

01:51:25.180 beginning to make iran independent beginning to strike out for independence sure

01:51:32.060 it was one of he was not one of those people who would have accepted

01:51:36.220 a small messenger coming and transmitting messages that he had to obey or carry out not that i did

01:51:48.300 i also resisted in my way after i assumed but in fact when your possibilities when you took over

01:51:55.180 i think the allies for a few days even refused to recognize your session yes they did so they

01:52:01.900 They knew little of me as a crown prince.

01:52:05.020 I was rather outspoken in those days.

01:52:10.180 And they thought, well, it will be the same story.

01:52:15.040 Then in order not to have the same burdens, they did their best, almost during the whole

01:52:20.480 of the occupation of this country, to diminish the powers and the role of the sovereign in

01:52:28.400 this country.

01:52:29.400 Your basic problem, I think, when you took over, and you were not quite 21 in those circumstances,

01:52:35.400 was that there was almost nobody around you who you could trust.

01:52:38.400 Even Iranian politicians were playing each other off against and with the foreign powers.

01:52:43.400 That was a big problem, wasn't it?

01:52:45.400 It was. It was.

01:52:49.400 And this is why I say almost a miracle saved us at the end of the war,

01:52:56.400 like a miracle saved us at the end of the First World War.

01:53:02.160 This is why I'm so determinedly set

01:53:09.360 on having some deep-rooted organization,

01:53:14.180 which will be the expression of the real people,

01:53:16.960 not just the expression of a few rotten politicians.

01:53:22.720 From the moment the Crown Prince became Shah

01:53:25.000 the age of 21 he was engaged in a long and bitter struggle with corrupt and self-seeking politicians 0.73

01:53:31.000 from the country's ruling elite but the young shah's first priority was to develop a new

01:53:37.560 foreign policy he was determined to be more flexible and pragmatic than his father

01:53:42.440 a strength which his enemies misinterpreted as a weakness okay so uh we're getting up to two

01:55:48.760 she actually told me a crazy fact yesterday. She told me this insane fact yesterday. And then I

01:55:57.100 literally just, I freaked out when she told me this fact. I was like, how is this a thing?

01:56:09.080 You guys won't even believe it.

01:56:16.800 So, okay.

01:56:18.860 Let me ask you, wait, what's the proper word here?

01:56:27.740 Let me...

01:56:28.740 Okay.

01:56:30.380 Okay, so no, no, no, this is not a Rick roll. This is not a Rick roll. This is a real thing.

01:56:37.640 Okay, so she asked me yesterday, how thick is the fuselage of an airplane? So guys,

02:02:04.500 Talking of peace, but you know how it ends

02:02:08.620 Smiles for the cameras, deals in the light

02:02:13.240 But truth disappears somewhere out of sight

02:02:17.120 Moolah's behind it

02:02:20.460 Controlling the flow

02:02:22.820 You shake hands with fire

02:02:25.920 But you already know

02:02:29.420 Deal with the devil, you know what it costs

02:02:33.060 Promises fade while the lines get crossed

02:02:36.080 Deal with the devil

02:02:37.440 You hear their call

02:02:38.960 Voices in chains still rise and fall

02:02:41.840 Deal with the devil

02:02:43.340 Don't look away

02:02:47.680 Our lives are taken day by day

02:02:54.160 Mr. Trump, hear the streets, hear the cry

02:02:59.760 Iranians want freedom, they're reaching high

02:03:04.220 From cells to the shadows, their voices still grow

02:03:07.840 Dreaming of a future they don't even know

02:03:10.700 Deals at the top while the pressure runs low

02:03:13.660 And down below, the fear continues to grow

02:04:02.540 Mr. Trump, now the moment is real

02:04:11.000 Reagan or Obama, pressure or deal

02:04:14.740 One stands firm, one bends to the game

02:04:18.940 History writes down the choice and the name

02:04:22.480 Stand with strength, don't let it all go

02:04:28.460 You don't free millions by moving too slow

02:04:34.660 Mr. Trump, if you give them that deal

02:04:38.240 They keep the power, they tighten the seal

02:04:40.960 More voices, silence, more lives are raised

02:04:44.220 While freedom is pushed further away

02:04:47.400 Be the Reagan they need, take a stand

02:04:50.320 Don't trade their future for a shake of a hand

02:04:56.320 Deal with the devil

02:04:58.280 You know what it costs

02:04:59.660 Too many lives already lost

02:05:02.600 Deal with the devil
