00:07:35.300yeah yeah so this this is our our Shah Shahan Shah when he was a strapping young lad in his
00:07:48.260I believe this would be in his early 20s because he was born um in 1919 and this is 1935 so here
00:07:58.080this he here he is 26 years old so all right let's start watching this documentary and i will
00:08:07.280keep an eye on sean hennedy i still remember it there was an old man there coming every day
00:08:16.680to supply our school with milk and probably he had heard of me and one day he asked me
00:08:24.100When I was in America in 1964, almost nobody knew where Iran was.
00:08:42.460And they would ask me questions like, you know, how did you get here?
00:08:45.740And I would say, I came with planes, of course.
00:08:49.260And they look as if they don't believe it.
00:08:50.940They couldn't believe, you know, we had planes.
00:08:53.120after a while i started saying you know i came with flying flying carpet i came on the flying
00:08:57.360carpet and did oh my gosh oh my gosh i can't believe he made the flying carpet joke guys
00:09:09.920so oh my gosh even back in like the the 60s and 70s when people were like oh you're from
00:09:16.240iran how did you get here they wouldn't believe us when we said plane so the guys are going to
00:09:21.120flying carpet oh my gosh i i love that this has been a running joke for like 60 70 years oh my
00:09:27.120gosh let's listen to that part again and they look as if they don't believe it they couldn't
00:09:32.880believe you know we had planes so after a while i started saying you know i came with flying
00:09:37.440flying carpets i came on a flying carpet and they look as if they really believe
00:09:44.320oh my gosh oh wait where was that flying carpet
00:09:47.360it. Remember that flying carpet AI video? Look at this. Look at this.
00:10:01.880Guys, so even back in like the 60s and 70s, people thought that, you know, we traveled,
00:10:09.900we Persian slash Iranians traveled on flying carpets. Yeah, guys. So fun fact, we Iranians
00:10:17.340we actually do have flying carpets. That's why Persian rugs are very expensive. Persian carpets
00:10:23.400are very expensive. However, you have to have the Iranian gene in order to activate the flying1.00
00:10:30.380carpet, right? But here's a totally real and not AI generated video of flying carpets.
00:10:47.340real footage of uh of the you know iranian flying carpets oh poor guy he was so frustrated say
00:11:09.460i came with plane of course and they look at it they don't believe it they couldn't believe you
00:11:14.920we had planes so after a while i started saying you know i came with flying flying carpet i came
00:11:20.040on the flying carpet and they look as if they really believed it
00:11:33.480iran or persia as it was known for most of its history
00:11:37.080is at the crossroads of the middle east and asia
00:11:44.920I got these guys. So this, these are the traveling schools. Okay. So one of the things that the Shah0.67
00:11:52.540of Iran did, and I've, I've explained this in a previous documentary that we've watched about
00:11:59.740Iran. So the Shah was on this very aggressive campaign, aggressive in a positive way. He was0.92
00:12:07.720on a very aggressive campaign to increase the literacy rate in Iran because before the
00:12:14.760Pahlavi dynasty, when the Qajar dynasty was in power, um, the, the clerics were in power and
00:12:20.900they didn't want an educated populace. They wanted everyone to be illiterate and educated and just0.96
00:12:26.200like basically learn the Quran and that's it. Um, so the Shah, uh, he called it, uh, he actually
00:12:32.800called it like the war, um, uh, the war against illiteracy. And he actually created like, like0.58
00:12:40.860this peace corps um that was you know basically it was like a branch of the iranian artish
00:12:47.500um and it was young men and women who were tasked with going around the country and uh educating
00:12:54.460right like basically building schools and educating young people now there uh you know back then and
00:13:00.300you know to to a degree today um there were a lot of like nomadic tribes and the shah um he wanted
00:13:08.620to respect people's way of life, right? He wanted to respect their nomadic ways and, you know,
00:13:15.980like the way that they've lived and all of that. So instead of forcing children to leave their
00:13:22.300families to go to like a, you know, residential school or something like that, instead the Shah
00:13:27.760creates something called mobile schools, where you see this person. So this is like someone who
00:13:34.060was part of the Shah's like literacy Peace Corps. And this person would basically be assigned to0.77
00:13:42.160a nomadic tribe. And it would be like, like a, you know, like a mobile school. So wherever
00:13:49.560the tribe went, this teacher who was, you know, funded by the state, right? So the Shah paid for0.99
00:13:56.560all of this using, you know, government money. Um, this teacher would go along with, with the
00:14:04.020nomadic tribes, like whichever nomadic tribe they were assigned to. And, you know, he would just
00:14:10.220have a mobile school and teach the children. So don't like, don't, don't make the mistake of
00:14:16.040thinking that like, um, this is like, you know, because the Shah didn't want to build schools.
00:14:20.520No, this is one of the mobile schools that the Shah started creating as a sort of a solution to, you know, educate the population while at the same time respecting the, you know, culture and heritage and way of life of the various tribes.
00:18:37.400However, they're not in a good state.1.00
00:18:40.340The Islamic regime has tried to destroy them.
00:18:45.120At this point, they have not maintained them.
00:18:49.160Back when the 1979 Islamic coup d'etat happened,
00:18:55.120initially the mullahs tried to destroy them,
00:18:58.880similar to how like the Taliban destroyed all the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan and, you know,
00:19:04.300ISIS destroyed the, you know, Babylonian statues and cities and even some of the Iranian cities
00:19:12.100in Iraq. But when they tried to do it in Iran, Iranians stopped them because, you know, we are
00:19:19.800very proud of our heritage and culture. However, that's not to say that the Islamic regime won't0.91
00:19:27.320go scorched earth. And, you know, one of the things that we are actually very worried about0.99
00:19:31.660is, you know, the Islamic regime destroying Persepolis and all of our ancient historical0.87
00:19:38.920sites when they're almost, you know, destroyed. So, you know, we're keeping an eye on that. But
00:19:46.520it is a very real possibility that the Islamic regime might destroy Persepolis or many other0.99
00:19:52.460of our ancient heritage sites as a way to go scorched earth and, you know, punish the Iranian0.95
00:19:56.820people for kicking Islam out of Iran and your empire is also finished and in fact this is what0.96
00:20:03.980happened once Persepolis was burned then the Persian Empire collapsed
00:20:09.240Persepolis was destroyed in 330 BC from that time till recently and apart from brief periods
00:20:19.860of cultural and artistic achievement the Persians were finished
00:20:26.820from the late 17th century onwards iran's peasants were amongst the poorest and most backward in the0.99
00:20:38.420world that is thanks to islam by the way thanks to islam because the mullahs had a feudal system0.99
00:20:46.000right so the feudal like basically like you know think of like medieval europe yeah that was0.63
00:20:52.040medieval europe basically was what iran was like until 1925 when the pahlavi dynasty took over um
00:21:00.760so yeah yeah it was the pahlavi it was the grandfather of the current
00:21:05.320shah so it was rizal shah the great um who actually like got rid of the feudal system
00:21:15.240the peasants had no human or legal rights of any kind they were exploited without mercy
00:21:20.840from within by the landlords and Iran's ruling elite,
00:21:24.840and from without by foreign powers, mostly Russia and Britain.0.84
00:21:36.480So the father of the Kurds Shah ascended the throne in 1941,
00:21:45.080But his father, the grandfather of the Kurd Shah, Reza Shah the Great, he became the Shah of Iran in 1925 through a vote from the parliament at the time.
00:22:07.160so the pahlavi dynasty was founded in 1925. so the first pahlavi um came came to power in 1925
00:22:17.640and then shahansha uh ascended the throne in 1941. yeah no no that's okay
00:22:27.080in the province of baluchistan on modern iran's border with pakistan
00:22:31.000a tribesman madad notani recalls the life of 25 years ago
00:22:35.32025 years ago if a vehicle passed through this area the people in the vehicle would
00:22:43.320have been done for to begin with then a hundred or so local people would have been killed as well
00:22:53.000why because in those days the roads were unsafe there were no schools there were
00:22:58.520no gendarmery posts there were none of these wells or other developments
00:23:05.320the people spent most of their lives fighting there is a place near here 18
00:23:13.840miles away called the cemetery there are still the graves there of almost 70
00:23:21.140Englishmen who were killed as they passed our people are buried there too
00:23:25.620in fours and sixes so guys this is a Baloch tribesmen okay and this doc so
00:23:35.120guys it says at the bottom you see where the ticker is so this documentary was filmed in 1977
00:23:40.980um and right now he's talking about what the province of baluchistan was like before the the
00:23:50.680shah shah and shah are you before he invested in the province so um he's saying like you know 25
00:23:56.64030 years ago there were no roads there were no schools there was there were no wells there was
00:24:02.140no infrastructure. And then, you know, then he's going to say like the Shah, like brought about0.94
00:24:07.380all of this, like, um, you know, development and industrialization. So yeah, guys. So, so there0.79
00:24:16.680are no Durkhas here. There are no Durkhas here right now. This is the documentary from 1977.
00:24:22.520I'll let you know when we see Durkhas, this guy is not an imam. Um, he's wearing a different
00:24:28.600type of of of uh like you know turban or whatever he's he's not a durka
00:24:34.840the cause of the killing in the cemetery i told you about was our own territory our land and water
00:24:46.780so you know my um my grandfather like my father's father um more like a similar head thing um because
00:24:56.880this was like this was a very like it's a very traditional common thing um and it's not it's not
00:25:04.780just like like an islam thing right of course the the jihadis approach like they appropriate
00:25:10.460everything right so they've also appropriated um like the head thing but for example if you look0.59
00:25:17.820at ferdosi right if you look at images of ferdosi so ferdosi is one of our most like basically
00:25:25.660Ferdossi is the guy who... Oh, what's going on here? I just want to show this image.
00:25:35.240So you see this? So Ferdossi is basically the Iranian version of Shakespeare. And Ferdossi
00:25:43.180wore this sort of turban, head wrap type of thing as well. So it's not like a Durka
00:25:55.260imam thing. Um, there's different styles, there's different variations. Um, yeah, like it, it could
00:26:03.260be kind of like Bedouin-ish as well. So yeah, just, just because someone is wearing like, like a,
00:26:09.820a turban. Um, yeah, they also stole the keffiyeh a hundred percent. The, the, the, the Durkhas also0.99
00:26:15.820stole the keffiyeh. Um, yeah. And basically Ferdowsi is like the Iranian version of Shakespeare.1.00
00:26:22.300here. Um, and he basically saved the Persian language. Um, so there's, there's different,
00:26:28.340different styles and different versions of that. So this guy, no, he's not, he's not a Durka.
00:26:34.560He's basically like a rural tribal person. Right. So, um, that's why like, you know,0.95
00:26:41.420he's kind of missing some teeth here, but because, you know, it's, it's, it's a rough life. It's a,
00:26:46.240it's a rough life you know it was a it was a rough uh rough life back in the day if you're like you
00:26:52.240know living in a rural area and you don't have access to all the amenities um yeah and and this0.89
00:27:00.560is what the shah was combating so anyways he's gonna speak about this like he's gonna talk about0.51
00:27:04.560this now the cause of the killing in the cemetery i told you about was our own territory our land
00:27:25.120if a foreigner tried to take away a single stone from our territory we were ready to lose 200 lives
00:27:31.280to defend it okay so did you catch that so this is what armin and oh wait sean hannity is starting0.98
00:27:38.480OK. All right. And welcome to Hannity this Friday night in a follow up to their no kings protest.
00:27:47.580The left is once again. They love taking to the streets this time in support of communism for their patriotic nationwide mayday protests against billionaires.
00:27:58.520The question is, who's funding and mobilizing the seemingly endless stream of radical left wing protesters?
00:28:05.540We have a full report tonight. Also, President Trump moving to ensure the economy works for
00:28:11.260all Americans. Earlier today, he spoke to seniors at the villages about tax breaks and social
00:28:18.240security changes. And while President Trump's economy works for all Americans, radical socialists
00:28:24.580continue to demonize wealthy Americans. But there may be a rift growing between New York City Mayor
00:28:31.120radical Zoran Marx's Kami Mamdani, and the New York governor, Kathy Hochul, who just threw cold
00:28:37.100water on his latest plan to tax the rich. We'll have more on that later. Maria Bartiromo will
00:28:42.240join us. And Kamala's efforts to stay relevant ahead of the 2028 election are off to a bit of
00:28:48.940a sleepy start. But first, tonight we begin in Iran, where the rogue regime has offered a response
00:28:55.580to the draft of the latest peace deal, speaking with reporters on the White House lawn earlier
00:29:00.880today, President Trump said, well, he's not satisfied, nor should he be. Take a look.
00:29:06.560So they want to make a deal, but I don't, I'm not satisfied with it. So we'll see what happens.
00:29:12.100Iran wants to make a deal because they have no military left, essentially, and
00:29:17.720they want to make a deal, but I'm not satisfied.
00:29:21.780All right. Now, remember just yesterday, Iran's Supreme Leader allegedly vowed to protect their
00:29:26.560nuclear and missile capabilities at all costs, showing once again that the rogue regime cares
00:29:31.740more about protecting their nuclear ambition than their economy, their oil industry, or even the
00:29:37.840Iranian people. And let me be clear, there can be under no circumstances, Donald Trump will never,
00:29:44.380ever, ever allow them to be a nuclear power. And for the sake of not just national security,
00:29:51.540but frankly, the security of the world. The world owes Donald Trump a debt of gratitude.
00:29:57.160It is imperative the president hold firm. He will. But yesterday's statement, allegedly from
00:30:02.360the Supreme Leader, just another written statement delivered on state-run TV, which
00:30:07.320raises a whole new set of concerns. And one major question, who exactly is in charge of Iran right
00:30:14.520now? Over the last number of weeks, numerous reports have surfaced that the Supreme Leader
00:30:19.760may be either dead or severely wounded, disfigured, incapacitated altogether,
00:30:26.280leaving what is a massive void in whatever is left of the country's leadership.
00:30:31.240Now, one that President Trump told reporters today has led to so much infighting within the rogue regime
00:30:36.840that it may prohibit them from reaching a deal altogether.
00:30:41.040And here's what he said about that. Take a listen.
00:30:42.940We're doing everything in terms of negotiation right now, in terms of the negotiation telephonically.
00:30:51.880They've made strides, but I'm not sure if they ever get there.
00:31:09.240It's got two to three groups, maybe four.
00:31:11.800and it's a very disjointed leadership.
00:31:15.680And with that being said, they all want to make a deal, but they're all messed up.
00:31:21.300Now, in yet another sign of their bad faith intentions during the negotiation process,
00:31:26.700according to a new report, Iran has been using the ceasefire to step up their efforts to
00:31:32.340excavate missiles and other munitions that they hid underground or that were buried under rubble
00:31:38.540from previous airstrikes. Our very own Peter Ducey is live at the White House tonight
00:31:43.200in the press room. Peter, thanks for staying up late. We appreciate it.
00:31:47.620All right. The president said a lot today, but at the end of the day,
00:31:51.560I think the president is getting closer to not only the blockade, the embargo, but also going
00:31:58.900back to military strikes. He's giving every indication that is now under deep consideration.
00:32:04.040Yes. And we have a soundbite where he told me exactly what is under consideration. But the president says about these negotiations that Iran is asking for things he cannot agree to. And we know what the magic words are. When it comes to these negotiations, the magic words are not please or thank you.
00:32:22.340They are no new nuclear weapons until the Iranians say that President Trump is not going to budge.
00:32:29.080And even though the president and his team notified Congress that on paper, the hostilities with Iran have been terminated.
00:32:36.240That is just a bookkeeping thing because none of the assets that the president deployed to the Persian Gulf have moved a muscle back towards the United States.
00:32:45.280So they had the CENTCOM commander, Admiral Brad Cooper, come here yesterday to lay out for the president exactly how he might be able to use the Pentagon and those assets to nudge the Iranians into saying those magic words, no nuclear weapons.
00:33:00.520And this is what the president told me.
00:33:03.420You had the CENTCOM commander come in here yesterday.
00:33:07.180Was he briefing you on a different approach and options?
00:33:13.020options i mean do we want to go and just blast the hell out of them and finish him forever or do0.71
00:33:18.380we want to try and make a deal those are the options do you want to go blast the hell out of0.78
00:33:22.860them i prefer not on a human basis i prefer not but that's the option and even though there was
00:33:29.100some reporting in the atlantic in the last couple days that jd vance is worried and telling the
00:33:33.100president that he's worried about low missile and bomb stockpiles for the u.s the president has said
00:33:39.020That is not a concern of his because they can always move munitions around from bases that they are in different parts of the world.
00:33:45.700So that is not a concern. These these strikes are a possibility, but it doesn't seem likely if the Iranians just tell the president they're not going to build a nuclear bomb.0.71
00:33:56.020At that point, he is putting it out publicly and privately.
00:34:01.020This will all be over and the troops, the American troops will come home.
00:34:04.720Sean. You know, Peter, what the president said to me directly, he said, Sean, I could I could wipe out their economic infrastructure for the next 20 years and I could do it in about 10 minutes.
00:34:17.660However, and he mentioned that in the earlier clip, that for humanitarian purposes, there's 90 plus million Iranians that will be impacted for the next decade or so to come.0.57
00:34:27.300He's trying not to go there. I prefer not for humanitarian reasons. That really is the only
00:34:33.940thing holding him back. And he's hoping that they can sort out this power struggle
00:34:38.700so that he doesn't have to go that route. Yes. And the other thing that would be holding him
00:34:45.940back right now is the gas prices are like $4.40 a gallon now. It's up about $1.40 from the start
00:34:51.980of the war. He knows that that is a big problem, but he says something that experts agree with.
00:34:57.300As soon as the strait is open, they will come down really quickly.
00:35:00.200But he does not seem to want he seems to know that they can't go much higher without becoming a huge political problem for him and his pals up the street in a midterm year.
00:35:12.180All right. Peter Doocy at the White House tonight. Thank you.
00:35:14.940It was a busy week for President Trump at the White House following yet another assassination attempt last Saturday as he welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla at the White House.
00:35:25.940He hosted a state dinner, all while trying to navigate a ceasefire, negotiations, and a potential deal with Iran.
00:35:34.000Here with more, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller.
00:35:39.160You know, I don't know why the legacy media mob, they don't like you.
00:35:45.160Because your own wife said that you put yourself in harm's way to protect her.
00:35:50.940And then the media, they spun it the exact opposite way when it's not true.
00:35:56.760I mean, you can't win for losing here, Stephen.
00:36:00.000Well, I will say that I was very gratified to see, although I certainly would never would never seek it out.
00:36:06.660All the people online on social media who were saying positive things.
00:36:11.760But it's just the husband's natural reaction.
00:36:14.640You know, we're down there. You hear all the glass breaking.
00:36:19.580you look around you see everybody huddled to the ground but what is any husband's instinct going to
00:36:24.460be he's going to obviously put his body over his wife in this case my very my very pregnant wife
00:36:29.900and so again that's just any any husband's first reaction in that situation but let me also just
00:36:36.060say what in the what an exemplary job secret service did inside that room what i saw is very
00:36:42.940fascinating when once the after the shots were fired and everybody was dropped to the ground
00:36:47.820I looked around. I saw agent after agent after agent with weapons unholstered running towards
00:36:55.620the danger. I also saw a Secret Service agent within seconds get in front of the president
00:37:01.460to be that human shield. And I saw a president of the United States demonstrate total, absolute
00:37:08.440calm under fire, calm, confidence, command under pressure. Here's a man who has endured
00:37:17.300multiple, repeated assassination attempts brought about by radical left-wing rhetoric,
00:37:23.020radical left-wing hate, and he is unfazed, undaunted, undeterred. That being said, Sean,
00:37:29.680we must condemn the Democrat Party's rhetoric of hate and violence that continues to lead
00:37:37.460to these heinous attacks. You know, I'm looking at the three examples. We have Butler,
00:37:44.200we have Trump International, we have what happened last Saturday night. In my view,
00:37:49.620things have to change a little bit. You're right. I have nothing but the highest praise
00:37:55.440for the agents on the ground that night. They will take a bullet for everybody in that room.0.99
00:38:01.840They acted so fast. It was amazing to watch them in action. I'm worried that maybe we need0.99
00:38:09.020multiple perimeters maybe they need to be further away from any venue where the president is
00:38:14.780maybe you know if it's going to be in a ballroom that has a hotel associated with it
00:38:20.540why isn't every room swept and after you sweep it you clear it you hold it um if they don't
00:38:26.780have the resources to do it which is which i understand is a real concern at that point
00:38:32.860i would suggest that maybe that's not the right venue this can't keep happening
00:38:37.260They didn't sweep the treat area by those holes at Trump International.
00:38:42.580How did a guy get on a roof 130 yards away in Butler?
00:38:46.180I'm getting concerned not about the agents, not about their bravery, not about their courage.
00:38:52.980I'm getting concerned that the perimeter is not far enough.
00:38:56.400I'm concerned there's not enough sweeping going on.
00:38:59.820Yes. Well, look, I can tell you that the Secret Service takes very seriously all of the questions that have been raised after each of these incidences.
00:39:12.360And every time one of these incidences occurs, they go into planning mode to adjust and adapt and change tactics based on each new evolving threat.
00:39:21.600But as the president mentioned, this venue is a uniquely challenging venue as a ballroom venue.
00:39:29.820The number of different entrances into the hotel, the number of guests that are staying at the hotel, the number of the number of protectees, the number of government officials that are here at the same time, the number of obviously media personalities and business officials and everyone else.
00:39:46.680And it's, again, part of security. It's a very important point. Part of security is also having the most secure venues. And that's why we need the White House ballroom.
00:39:55.400But let me just say again, President Trump has shown leadership over and over and over again in the face of death and in the face of danger.
00:40:04.900But what we need is a Democrat party that is going to tell its radical members and base to stop fomenting hatred and violence that is threatening the life of our president and is threatening the safety of Republicans and conservatives all over this country.
00:40:22.740Hey, Stephen, they're threatening your family.
00:40:25.020They've doxed your house. They've doxed your family. You've got now three young kids at home.
00:40:30.680I mean, this has got to stop. Their rhetoric is so over the top. It is dehumanizing. It is
00:40:36.020insightful. You couldn't be more right. Anyway, I'm glad you're safe. I'm glad Katie's safe. I'm
00:40:41.480glad the baby's safe. Scary times at the end of the day. Look, those of us serving President
00:40:48.400Trump, we follow his example. We don't think about our safety. What we think about is doing
00:40:53.800OR A JOB FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND PRESIDENT TRUMP UNDERSTANDS THAT WE CAN'T HAVE A
00:40:58.440REPUBLIC, WE CAN'T HAVE A FUNCTIONING DEMOCRACY WHEN YOU HAVE RADICAL LEFT-WING DOMESTIC
00:41:04.360TERRORISTS THAT ARE CONSTANTLY AT WAR, VIOLENTLY AT WAR WITH THE PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO SERVE0.87
00:41:10.040THIS COUNTRY. WHAT HAPPENED TO CHARLIE KIRK, WHAT'S HAPPENED OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO REPUBLICANS
00:41:15.880AND CONSERVATIVES ACROSS THIS COUNTRY, WHAT HAPPENED IN THE NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES FOR PRESIDENT
00:41:20.040Trump is completely and totally the result and a byproduct of a campaign of dehumanization
00:41:27.000from the radical left in this country. And we have to recognize that, Sean, and be honest about it.
00:41:31.880It's dehumanizing. It's insightful. And frankly, their words have meaning. And there are crazy
00:41:38.680people out there, and they listen to it day in and day out. Nazi, fascist, racist, Gestapo,1.00
00:41:43.960it's got to stop. Stephen Miller, glad you're safe. Glad the president and everybody else.0.99
00:41:49.000time. All right. Thank you. Now, despite what the radical left and some in the legacy media mob are
00:41:54.180saying, some of whom are actively rooting against our own country, what they're trying to tell you0.60
00:41:59.680is Iran is absolutely not winning this war. This is madness on their part. In fact, much of the
00:42:05.820country's military, it has been decimated, as we just played the president today. They are flailing.
00:42:12.080And as Victor Davis Hanson says in a new column, Iran is losing this war. They're losing it badly.
00:42:18.260Yeah. And the global balance of power is now shifting. He's a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.
00:42:24.380Victor Davis. I have a heart. Is it that they can't give credit to one of the most successful, historically speaking, military operations ever in history?
00:42:37.880They just don't want to give this man any credit.
00:42:40.540well i think it's all it's not a military problem it's a political they feel that
00:42:47.140by the negotiations going on and on that that gets us closer and closer to the midterms and
00:42:53.740they can say the price of gas is higher and the war is not resolved so therefore it's trump's fault
00:42:58.900and so you know and and even though empirically there is no really uh a command and control left
00:43:06.420of the original one militarily they're flattened the only question is we don't want to go in there
00:43:12.500with ground troops and fight their type of war to have regime change so we're strangling them
00:43:17.540it's going to take another two or three weeks and they don't think that we have it the iranians
00:43:22.260don't based on their listening to the american left but in a wider sense really quickly sean
00:43:29.700the world has changed from the post-war order china has lost its subsidized oil that it bought
00:43:36.580from sanctioned countries like venezuela and iran russia's out of the middle east that's lost both
00:43:41.860syria and iran it's got it's tied down in a slog in ukraine for four years the united states has
00:43:48.820shown china that if it wants to go across 110 miles to taiwan well it's going to do so under a
00:43:56.260a swarm of missiles and drones, both aerial and marine, and I don't think they're going to want
00:44:03.660to land 300,000 people against the kind of conditions they've seen the United States
00:44:09.080can apply to them. So in a geostrategic sense, it's been very positive for the United States.
00:44:17.040It's really changed the whole world order. And with the UAA getting out of OPEC, 50 years of
00:44:22.360OPEC dominance. All those members, the 23 members, they are only pumping 70 to 80 percent of their
00:44:28.960capacity. If they want to go up to 100 to capitalize on this spike, they could. Venezuela is coming
00:44:35.380back on the market slowly, but back on the market. And so long term, it's very favorable to the
00:44:40.620United States. So you have the radical left, the legacy media mob, the head in the sand isolationist
00:44:47.740movement so their option their choice would be to do nothing and your kids inherit a nuclear-armed0.88
00:44:55.180iran with their radical islamo-fascist mentality death to america death to israel that's that that's
00:45:01.820their choice uh well that's been the choice of the last seven presidents it's just so it doesn't0.87
00:45:08.940happen on my watch so either give them money by night send in palace of cash or you know just
00:45:16.540ignore what they've done to us in Afghanistan and Iraq when they use the shape charges or you name0.87
00:45:22.300it no president has ever wanted to get near Iran they had this hyper inflated reputation of being0.99
00:45:28.240indomitable and fearsome and terrifying and everybody said you can go in the Middle East0.99
00:45:32.640but get away from Iran they're crazy they're too strong but so this is new this is the first1.00
00:45:37.640president said you know I don't I don't really believe they're invincible I think it's all a1.00
00:45:41.820myth and I think they're very dangerous and after seven presidencies they're getting very very
00:45:46.260close. Time has run out. It's now or never. And people had said to him, well, you're going to take
00:45:51.860a greatest risk of your presidency because the midterms are coming up and the price of gas will
00:45:56.480go up. And he took that risk. And I think he can pull it off still. But it was a great risk that
00:46:02.200no other president would have done. They didn't. Every source that I have, every person that would
00:46:09.340know at the highest level have all said to me the same thing based on information they didn't
00:46:15.960provide to me, but information that they have. The president had no choice. Steve Whitcoff on
00:46:23.220this program said they had enough 60 percent enriched uranium in less than 12 days. That
00:46:30.320could be weapons grade. And we learned that their ballistic missile range was far greater than we
00:46:36.640thought they could hit paris they can hit london so i i just don't really think the president had
00:46:42.400a choice except to let him have nuclear technology which i don't think is a choice
00:46:48.040no it isn't although some people in europe and some people on the left thought it was but it's
00:46:54.340not there if they have nuclear weapons they'd have a sort of damocles over all the gulf nations
00:47:00.300and all of israel and they would dictate the entire traffic in the strait of our moves and0.74
00:47:05.740And if we said anything, they would keep saying week after week, you want to lose San Francisco, L.A., except just like North Korea, but on steroids.0.95
00:47:14.140So we didn't have a choice, but it was a big gamble because the economy is all set to boom.
00:47:22.000All it needs is this missing ingredient of what we had were low gas prices.
00:47:26.680And Donald Trump can still pull it off because I think in two or three weeks, they're going to be strangled, the economy, and they're going to they'll have to negotiate.
00:47:34.060Or if they don't want to negotiate, he can always use the kinetic option and just say, you know what, I'm going to neuter their nuclear ability from the air as much as I can and their oil revenues as much as I can.
00:47:46.660And that'll set them back five or six years. But he's got all the options in the world. They have none, really.
00:47:53.620Victor Davis Hanson, you're back. You're stronger than ever. We're glad to have you. Thank you for being with us.
00:47:58.360All right, coming up is May 1st, also known as May Day, which means radical leftist activists nationwide flooding the streets in the name of progressive change.
00:48:09.580We've got the latest insanity straight ahead.
00:48:15.280A multi-billion dollar roundup settlement is paying claims.
00:48:19.480If you were exposed to weed killers at work or at home, your rights are affected.
00:48:23.500Guys, who's exposed to weed killers or the class action?

00:50:09.560um the documentary it's a 1977 documentary about uh iran so wait what's this honestly american
00:50:18.800commercials are so weird i don't understand that satisfied customers the number one thing
00:50:23.120prepare for is extended power actions don't make it okay okay i'm sure there are some canadians in
00:50:32.640the in the live stream here so to the canadians in the live stream do you guys agree with me like
00:50:38.080american commercials are weird because we never see we never see like these types of commercials
00:50:44.400on canadian tv like we just don't you guys know what i'm talking about right like you can just
00:50:51.680tell you can just automatically tell when when like a commercial is american or canadian to put
00:50:56.880a new roof over their head it's too expensive and if they can extend the life of that roof and get
00:51:02.000five more years like american commercials are about like class action lawsuits insurance um
00:51:09.600they don't have to spend that 15 20 000 on a new roof i don't know this stuff
00:51:14.240whatever this is a small percentage of cost yeah it's basically like big pharma law firm ads
00:51:22.000like insurance yeah i'm a retiree i'm living on a pension i get a bill for almost forty thousand
00:51:29.600dollars from the irs what is this pay that but tax relief advocates got that down to three thousand
00:51:35.440two hundred dollars that is a miracle in my book at tax relief advocates we may be able to
00:51:41.120significantly reduce and even eliminate what you owe the irs i heard their advertisement on the
00:51:46.640radio and i made the commercial call 800-404-1416 800-404-1416 when it comes to buying precious
00:51:57.200metals you have options the question is who should you trust at orion metal exchange our clients get
00:52:04.560expert guidance live online pricing and top tier customer service i don't know what are canadian
00:52:10.640commercials about guys charge giving you greater profit honestly i don't i don't watch like cable
00:52:16.160tv but i don't know let me just like call now let me just bring up some free for you guys
00:52:21.520the part of the rollover the gold ira made easy
00:52:27.040okay next commercial break next news update i'm christina coleman in los angeles buying a
00:52:32.000European ride could soon become a lot more expensive. President Trump says he'll hike
00:52:36.320tariffs on European cars and trucks to 25% starting next week. The president is accusing
00:52:41.740the EU of failing to comply with his 2025 trade deal, but I've loaded up a Canadian commercial
00:52:46.700in which way the deal was violated. The trade deal had capped U.S. tariffs on most European
00:52:51.460goods at 15%. Spirit Airlines is preparing to shut down, according to a report from Fox News's
00:52:57.640sister outlet the wall street journal the budget carrier has struggled to get back on it all right
00:53:03.180i'm just gonna pause and i'm gonna switch it over because i also want to make sure we don't get a
00:53:06.620copyright so here's here's like a canadian commercial new chocolate and pistachio go perfectly
00:53:18.060There you go. That's that's a Canadian commercial. Oh, Sean Hannity's back.
00:53:31.580Where they have a long history of flirting with communism, socialism, statism. Today is May Day,
00:53:38.480a festival official holiday in many nations. Now it blends quote worker solidarity with ancient
00:53:45.280pagan rituals celebrating the arrival of warmer weather. Now, the whole thing is a little bit
00:53:50.440weird to me and not something that we Americans really want to be a part of, except, of course,
00:53:56.400for the radical left in America. Now, they see today as one of their best opportunities every
00:54:02.100year to celebrate communism, protest millionaires and billionaires, whatever that means. But despite
00:54:07.820what you might think is actually happening, it costs a lot of money to put on all these protests,
00:54:14.820all around the country. So it does raise the question, who's paying for them? Wealthy people,
00:54:20.940the exact billionaires the protests claim to oppose. And while that's not a surprise in and
00:54:28.480of itself, it's very concerning that the demonstrations today are being increasingly
00:54:33.540officially backed by various arms of the Democratic Party, from state parties to labor0.94
00:54:39.540unions now fox news digital this is the unholy alliance of the red and the black these crazy0.86
00:54:44.980protesters and as you will see well these clips um we'll just take note of what's going on in0.77
00:54:50.900the background take a look today we're here you know to support immigrant workers and poor families
00:54:55.940to demand um you know that their rights are protected and defended i hope 140 years ago
00:55:02.980So people march, lit, and died on this day.
00:55:06.020We're also in coalition with our immigrants who have been under attack under this administration.
00:55:11.820So today we're all coming together just to say that today is work today.
00:55:23.200And of course, as Tim Allen pointed out on X, these are the very same people who took to the streets to yell no kings in the past.
00:55:30.860And yet they did nothing this week when we had an actual literal king, the one we fought a war to get away from parading around the streets of our country.
00:55:41.260Anyway, here with reaction, Fox News political analyst Reince Priebus, Republican strategist Erin McGuire.
00:55:47.600Erin, you want to I saw furs in the background. I still don't really know what they are, but I saw them.
00:55:53.820I don't think the day we figure that out, but I can tell you what an absolute joke that is.
00:56:01.640And it shows what an absolute con the Democrat Party is in this country. They scream about
00:56:07.780billionaires, about the wealthy, about kings in this country, but they're more than happy to try
00:56:12.720and take as many photos of King Charles and give him standing ovations. They've got a billionaire
00:56:17.260funding these quote-unquote grassroots movements protests that are now absolutely the ethos of the
00:56:24.420Democrat billionaire saying he's going to take billionaires if he becomes the governor of
00:56:30.020California. I mean, it's absolute lunacy across the board. And the fact that it is funded by such
00:56:35.420dark money groups like George Soros, like those aligned with the CCP, it shows you that the
00:56:40.600Democrat Party doesn't actually have a real movement behind it, that they need this dark
00:56:45.320money to stand up the con that somehow all of these people are against Donald Trump and America
00:56:50.780moving America first. And what do you see inside? You see a joke of a protest with a giant furry in
00:56:56.080the background and a man wandering around in the blanket. If that isn't the Democrat party in 2026,
00:57:00.720I don't know what is. I don't know. But the reality is they don't make any sense. So you
00:57:11.820have california and you have washington state the washington mayor actually said uh leave you know
00:57:18.700people that have money that don't want a wealth tax you're gonna have a wealth tax in california
00:57:23.560you're gonna have one in washington you're gonna soon probably have one in new york uh all around
00:57:28.520the country all that is going to do is push rich people out ken griffin this week said you know i'm
00:57:34.580gonna rethink the six billion dollars i was going to invest in new york city after mom donnie took
00:57:41.020a shot at him. Well, it's just a wackadoodle. I mean, this entire thing is unbelievable. But
00:57:51.100to Aaron's point, I mean, they call it organic. There's nothing organic about, well, they claim
00:57:58.200three thousandths of these, I don't think, and maybe there's 300, but there's nothing organic
00:58:02.680about 300. And there's nothing organic about spending $2 billion. You know, if you add it up,
00:58:09.820the total amount that the Trump campaign spent and the total amount that Kamala Harris's campaign
00:58:17.020spent, it would come up to $1.8 billion. They spent more money, apparently, on May Day.
00:58:25.440And because of this, they can take a 501c3 and a 501c4, and they can take their money,
00:58:34.020they're billions of dollars and they can put it into a tax deductible shelter and then they can
00:58:40.100use that in order to create a voter registration event they can collect data they can do all of
00:58:49.060the campaign events that you're watching here today to recruit yeah they're wacky but this
00:58:54.740is what they're doing and they're collecting data registering voters they're using tax deductible
00:58:59.940money to do it. They do it all the time. And the same funder funded Code Pink. He funds
00:59:06.840the People's Forum, these anti-capitalist disruptors. This has been going on for years
00:59:15.320and years and years. And I think the IRS should do something about it, to be honest.
00:59:21.060You know, Aaron, the American people are watching this. The Democratic Party is catering to that
00:59:27.060base. What is the average American thinking as they watch this crazy stuff?
00:59:33.260The average American is thinking, can you get out of the middle of the road? I'm trying to get to
00:59:37.540work and I'm trying to get home. Can you knock off these crazy protests where you shut down the street?
00:59:42.580I mean, the American people see this for the lunacy it is. You're seeing these people running
00:59:47.280around screaming about tyranny in the freest nation the world has ever known. They're running
00:59:52.520around screaming about kings when the only king this country has seen just left the country
00:59:57.680yesterday. I mean, the fact that Democrats want to run around and pretend that there are all of
01:00:02.960these issues in the country when, in fact, it's just them pretending to inflame rhetoric to do
01:00:08.220what? For the outcomes we've seen where there have been three attempted assassinations on
01:00:12.100President Trump. It's absolute lunacy by the left, and the American people should see it for what it
01:00:17.140is. It's not real. It's not really what's going on. And what really is going on is a president
01:00:21.460who's trying to make america more affordable for everybody not this crazy stuff democrats
01:00:25.460to you i guarantee you there's irgc nazi racist gestapo oh in maine the democrats will run a guy
01:00:34.100that had a nazi tattoo how lucky is susan collins uh yeah and and yet they're all the podcasters
01:00:43.300and all the democrats are are equivocating uh well you know he's funded by you know maybe
01:00:51.460some hard to i mean look the guy's got a nazi tattoo on his chest it's out of control and as
01:00:56.420far as this just these rallies one more thing i mean they claim they're for the working people
01:01:01.780and their answer is no school no work no shopping well guess what you did that that hurts working
01:01:07.460people and by the way you know what else isn't there there's no american flags either yeah every
01:01:12.340other country but not an american flag there was even the islamic regime thank you even had the
01:01:18.340Trump's economy now firing on all cylinders for all Americans. Meanwhile,
01:01:24.480our tensions mounting between mayors or on Marxist Kami Mamdani and governor Hochul in New York,
01:01:32.100our very own Maria Bartiromo. She'll weigh in. I love Maria. Okay. I think he's done speaking
01:01:40.480about Iran. However, I do really like listening to Maria. So maybe we'll, we'll go back to that.
01:01:47.840Okay, guys, so here's a commercial break.
01:01:51.420Some Canadian commercials for you guys.

01:37:12.480a Canadian heritage moment commercial so there's a lot of like Canadian heritage moments so that
01:37:20.080was basically like uh you know showing um how like a Canadian discovered like I don't know
01:37:27.040whatever needed to be discovered for, um, like medical sciences. Right. So, um, it's a very
01:37:34.160famous commercial. So, uh, I think there's another one for like penicillin. There's another one for
01:37:39.160like Terry Fox. So yeah, they're not advertising lobotomies or advertising Canadian, um, scientific,
01:37:46.400uh, breakthroughs, right. So Canadian heritage moments. So it was a Canadian that, that, uh,
01:37:51.600that, you know, did that. Um, okay. A moose head commercial. What? I mean,0.99
01:38:00.320here, I mean, I could, I mean, if you just want, like, I don't know, I don't,
01:38:05.100I don't want to do like too many beer. Okay. Oh, let me see.
01:38:12.760Uh, I'm not really into the beer commercials too much, but you know what? I'll save the
01:38:19.660commercials for later. Cause I will, I do want to go back to the documentary that we were watching.
01:38:25.400Um, and I'm still keeping an eye on the news. So, all right. So we'll go back to the documentary,
01:38:30.440um, about Iran and I'll go back a little bit. So where we left off before, before we turned,
01:38:38.760before we tuned in, I don't know. I mean, I'm not a beer drinker. I don't know. I'm not a beer
01:38:43.860drinker. I mean, if I'm in Europe, I'll have a beer here and there, but, um, not really my thing.
01:38:52.100Um, okay. So going back to, to Iran. So the documentary, so this is, um, a tribal person1.00
01:38:59.300from the province of Baluchistan. He's not, remember guys, he's not a Durka. I'll tell you0.95
01:39:04.960if a Durka shows up, but remember that a lot of, um, a lot of the cultural, um, attire of various
01:39:14.520Iranians, um, a lot of it pre-Islamic was appropriated by the Durkas, right? So, uh,
01:39:22.440he is wearing a different type of turban here. And you can actually, you can actually like for,
01:39:27.900for those of us who are familiar with how people dress, um, we can tell the difference. So for
01:39:34.020example, I mean, I have to bring up Khamenei, but just as like an example, right? So his picture is
01:39:43.380so nasty. Okay. I'm only doing this for scientific purposes. So you see his, his turban is a
01:39:58.080different shape than the villager. Okay. So even though they both have wraps around their head,0.94
01:40:06.820different shape, different style. So this is a Durka. This is a Durka turban, right? This0.99
01:40:14.320is a regular, normal head wrap, which is pre-Islamic, by the way. It's pre-Islamic.1.00
01:40:26.460So, yeah. And like I was saying, my grandfather, so my father's father, he actually wore a turban in sort of like a similar style as well, because it was like a traditional cultural thing.
01:40:43.920It wasn't like a Durka thing. So this is like a rural tribal tribesman from like the Baloch area.
01:40:53.720And basically, I'll go back a little bit, but he's talking about how the Shah industrialized and modernized the area.
01:41:02.780And then at this part, when he turns to this part, what he's saying is if the outsiders.0.64
01:41:07.900So now he's actually speaking about the separatists. Right.
01:41:11.640So he's saying, if the separatists even stole one stone from our land, which is Iran, right?
01:41:21.080So he's like, if the separatists even tried to steal one rock, there's 200 of us willing to put our lives on the line.
01:46:58.340we would last without bread for 30 days.
01:47:01.580We would eat raw meat, camel meat, mutton.1.00
01:47:03.940Yeah, you're absolutely right. Even, even this guy is like deport illegal aliens. Yeah. Right. Because you don't want illegal aliens in your country, guys. Deport illegal aliens.0.72
01:47:15.300beef even with no salt or fire we would roast it in the sun1.00
01:47:25.620if we put a piece of meat on the rock this morning it would be cooked by now
01:47:30.560we could fight an enemy for 30 days on that
01:47:34.100did many of his friends used to die because they were they were hungry or the children did they die
01:47:45.300yes yes in those days there were no doctors or hygiene care for children
01:47:54.240no doctor came this way the people just died
01:52:07.940Although for Iranians, we usually just stick to like radish and onion.
01:52:13.900Um, you know, and then we have basil. Oh my gosh. Purple basil. Oh my gosh. Purple basil is the
01:52:22.160best. I miss purple basil. Oh my gosh. Mint, parsley, tarragon, coriander, leek, and radishes
01:52:28.640are amongst the most common ones. Oh my gosh.
01:52:34.500oh my gosh anyway so so that's what she's talking about here it's not like it's not
01:52:48.180animal grass oh okay so okay so you have that gene then right because for some people like
01:52:56.780there's a certain like gene or something right where for some people cilantro tastes like soap
01:53:02.380so uh i feel i feel bad for you because i don't have like i i have the good gene
01:53:07.300and for me cilantro tastes like delicious so um yeah purple basil oh my gosh purple
01:53:15.060basil is so good oh my gosh like purple basil is one of the best herbs
01:53:21.380yeah oh so good so good look at this guys boy boy boy
01:53:30.640look at this purple basil yeah oh so good so good so yeah so basically one of the things you might
01:53:44.920not know about us Iranians is that when we are um eating our meals we love to have like a big
01:53:53.340thing of like fresh herbs beside us and uh yeah so basically like you just you know you have a
01:53:59.660spoonful or a bite of whatever it is that you're eating whatever your meal is and then you just
01:54:06.480grab a bunch of fresh herbs and you put it in your mouth and you eat fresh herbs like a goat
01:54:11.880and it's just like it's amazing so good so good all right let's continue so yeah it's not it's
01:54:18.880not animal grass that was an improper translation
01:54:22.000i think tari is like uh like chives maybe you might tarare bizarre to you i guess google
01:54:35.280translate and see what it is we had flour made of millet or barley we ate them with animal grasses
01:54:42.380yeah we didn't eat them with animal grasses we ate we ate them with sabzi so you can hear her say
01:54:48.480you'll hear her say sabzi it of millet or barley we ate them with animal grasses
01:54:54.980see sabzia she says sabzia we ate them with animal grasses
01:55:03.300did some of their people used to die because they didn't have enough food in those bad old days
01:55:11.700So now they're talking about the malnutrition wild green onions. No, no, no. It's just like green onions. You guys know green onions. These are green onions.
01:55:25.800right right like green onions right just like green onions and yeah so this this is like basically
01:55:38.760the side dish of herbs that we'll have with our meals right you got like the radish the green
01:55:43.700onion different kinds of herbs you know mint basil you know whatever yeah so good
01:55:52.880it's it's just like so you know like the garnish that you guys put on your meals
01:55:58.880yeah we don't see that as garnish we see that as like the side dish which is really good
01:56:03.460yes girls and boys of two or three were fed on those grasses
01:56:11.780one saw water coming out of their mouths and they died
01:56:15.860there can be few occasions in all of history when the inheritors of an ancient civilization
01:56:23.820were so thoroughly humiliated by wave after wave of invading forces each occupying power0.84
01:56:30.280left its mark a scar but one thing the persians never surrendered was their pride in what had
01:56:36.880been achieved in times past the man who was to begin the process of renewal was born here in 1878
01:56:44.840the village of El Ashd in the mountains which sloped down to Iran's border with Russia.
01:56:49.520I've I've only tried camel meat one time and so someone is saying I've heard camel meat is
01:56:57.660amazing um we don't eat camel in Iran that's that's not a thing at least not that I've I've
01:57:04.900never heard of anyone eat camel the only time that I've had that I've tried camel who was
01:57:10.860actually um when i was a politician and uh there was like a there was like a hunter's ball so you
01:57:17.860know all of like the the rural hunters um in in ontario they basically get together like once a
01:57:25.080year and they host like this potluck and they you know um make meals with like the the game that
01:57:33.260they've hunted so i think someone made like i don't know um camel sausage or something so like
01:57:39.920i tried a bite of camel meat one time but that was literally um in in like uh ontario like i've i've
01:57:52.160never i've never had camel meat in in iran i don't know maybe some people eat camel meat but i've
01:57:59.580never heard of that at the time of his birth here the russians and the british low rivals
01:58:11.860were well on their way to establishing complete control of iran's economy and politics
01:58:16.840the man from this village who was to challenge the big powers was illiterate
02:04:44.640Do you see how, like, do you see this part?
02:04:47.260Like, this part of history is never told because he, okay, Shah and Shah, or sorry, Reza Shah the Great, he didn't even want to become Shah.
02:05:02.040He, back in the day, wanted a republic like Turkey, right?
02:05:08.660Because he wanted to follow in the footsteps of Ataturk.
02:05:13.380So he was like, no, no, no, let's make Iran a republic.
02:05:17.260you know i'll run for office i'll become president and then everyone was like no no no no iran has
02:05:24.220always been like a constitutional monarchy iran has always had a shah so we're gonna
02:05:29.020vote you in as the shah and you're gonna establish a new dynasty
02:05:36.140reza khan wanted iran to become a republic with himself as president0.79
02:05:40.140he was eventually persuaded that iran's traditions demanded a restoration of the monarchy
02:05:48.080um the documentary here i'll put the documentary in the in in the link in the chat like usually
02:05:59.760usually i i'll just add the documentary in the video description after because everyone always
02:06:05.080asks me constantly and it just really distracts me and it ruins like the experience but there's
02:06:09.800documentary link. I'll put it in the video description when I'm done the live stream.
02:10:23.660It is essential that we should join hands with Russia through Iran.
02:10:27.840the present government of Iran is not willing to facilitate this, it must be made to give way to
02:10:32.920one that will. The war was going badly for the Allies. Hitler's forces had inflicted defeat0.99
02:10:39.520on the Russians along a thousand mile front. So Iran became what Allied command called the0.50
02:10:45.120bridge to victory because it was the safest route for supplies to Russia.
02:10:57.840Why the Allies resorted to invasion is still much debated.
02:11:09.060Reza Shah's refusal to be dictated to by the big powers was a major factor.
02:11:14.420But the records of both sides suggest that invasion wouldn't have been necessary
02:11:18.620if the Allies had been honest with Reza Shah and had taken him into their confidence.
02:11:24.240The British in particular were not prepared to do that.
02:11:27.140they were too prejudiced against the man who before the war started
02:11:31.000had signaled his intention to play a leading role in ushering in the twilight of the british empire
02:11:36.980uh no offense to any british people watching but yeah this is at the like the height of
02:11:46.920you know colonialism british colonialism right so yeah
02:11:57.140Three weeks after the invasion, broken and humiliated, Reza Shah abdicated.
02:12:04.980Well, not humiliated in our eyes, because we love him and we call him Reza Shah the Great.
02:12:11.540Three weeks after the invasion, broken and humiliated, Reza Shah abdicated.
02:12:21.320Crown Prince Mohammed Reza, the present Shah, took over.
02:12:24.060The old man was exiled. He died in South Africa in 1944.
02:12:32.040The loss felt by most Iranians at the moment of abdication was even more profound when Reza Shah's body was eventually returned to Iran for a state funeral.
02:12:43.000One said, I felt as if the ground on which I stood had been taken from under me.
02:12:48.240The feeling of security given by knowing that Reza Shah was in his palace, looking after his nation, suddenly disappeared.
02:20:37.180They were created and funded by Stalin and the communists.0.88
02:20:41.960Boom, there you go. So all of these, all of these separatist movements in the Middle East
02:20:47.120created and funded by the Soviets. Guys, Yasser Arafat, Yasser Arafat and the PLO also created,
02:20:57.180trained and funded by the Soviets. The whole Palestinian cause is fake. Guys, the entire0.99
02:21:04.140Palestinian cause is a Russian psyops. It's not even real. It's not even real. And yet so many0.91
02:21:11.400people have fallen for this nonsense. Yep. Palestine is a Russian psyops as well.0.79
02:21:22.160Literally, there's nothing real about Palestine.0.88
02:21:25.900Put down the rebellion, and with the help of international pressures, the Shah forced the0.54
02:21:30.860Russians out. After this success for the Shah's new foreign policy, Iran's parliament met in a
02:21:40.660new mood of confidence oh did you did you catch that iran's parliament right so again to everyone
02:21:49.440who claims that iran was a dictatorship and iran was an absolute monarchy okay how the heck how the
02:21:56.980heck can you have um a parliament in a dictatorship or absolute monarchy right did you catch that
02:22:04.740Iran's parliament. After this success for the Shah's new foreign policy, Iran's parliament met
02:22:14.240in a new mood of confidence. But the removal of the direct Russian threat only intensified Iranian
02:22:20.120bitterness towards Britain. In the years of street demonstrations, mob violence, and assassinations
02:22:28.800which followed, the British, like the Russians, worked behind the scenes to exploit every dissident0.62
02:22:34.300element for their own ends the communist party the tudor took the front line role in demonstrations
02:22:40.220against the shah so guys the two day party is the main communist party that was funded by the soviets
02:22:47.500yeah for a time british oil interests actively encouraged the communists
02:22:54.460the violence of these years included the first attempt on the shah's life
02:22:58.140Guys, these are the leftists. Yeah, they actually tried. Guys, so you know how the lefties and the communists are trying to assassinate President Trump and have tried to assassinate him at least three times? Yeah, the communists, leftists, and woke progressives, they also tried to assassinate our Shah. You see this? This was an assassination attempt on our Shah.
02:23:20.980so this this woke leftist antifa communist marxist violence that you're seeing it's not new
02:23:30.480we've already experienced this these these these are these are the woke left guys these are the
02:23:38.800communists these are the um uh you know these are the leftists antifa so everything guys everything
02:23:48.240that you guys are experiencing right now in the united states we've we've already lived through
02:23:55.680all of this this is why i tried to like i make videos about this stuff right mob violence and
02:24:02.080assassinations which followed like guys did this this literally looks like a lefty movement in the
02:24:07.920united states right all the lefties coming out right so you know the the left in the united
02:24:14.880states suffers from tds trump derangement syndrome back in the 40s and 50s they suffered from pds
02:24:24.160pahlavi derangement syndrome it's it's literally the exact same pattern in the even the assassination
02:24:31.920attempts years of street demonstrations mob violence and assassinations which followed
02:24:37.440the british like the russians worked behind the scenes to exploit every dissident element for
02:24:42.560for their own ends. The Communist Party, the Tudor, took the front-line role in demonstrations
02:24:47.940against the Shah. For a time, British oil interests actively encouraged the Communists.
02:24:55.120The violence of these years included the first attempt on the Shah's life. Apart from the0.57
02:25:05.120Communists, the Shah's enemies included ultra-conservative forces, amongst them religious fanatics and0.96
02:25:11.360feudal landlords there you go guys there you go there's the unholy alliance of the red and the0.94
02:25:17.040black right what i've been telling you about the the communists and the islamists right it's the0.67
02:25:23.540exact same thing so what you guys are experiencing right now today in the united states and canada0.90
02:25:30.720and all these like western you know democratic countries the unholy alliance of the red and the0.69
02:25:35.700black we've already been going through that who were beginning to take fight at what the shah0.85
02:25:42.820might do to improve the lot of the peasants oh would you fight amongst them religious the the
02:25:49.700jihadis the jihadis did not like the fact that the shah was modernizing iran and he wanted the0.52
02:25:55.500peasants to be free right they call the shah a dictator what sort of dictator wants to free
02:26:04.640people and end feudalism right fanatics and feudal landlords who were beginning to take
02:26:12.100fright at what the shah apart from the communists the shah's enemies included ultra conservative
02:26:22.020forces amongst them religious fanatics and feudal landlords who were beginning to take
02:26:27.400fight at what the shah might do to improve the lot of the peasants would you recall for us the
02:26:33.820events of the 4th of february 1949 which was in fact the first attempt to assassinate you at
02:26:39.340tehran university as usual every year i was going to distribute the diplomas and the first prizes to
02:26:49.900the students of tehran university at the faculty of law and all of a sudden i hear shots and
02:27:00.620And my face is projected to one side, when I realized that I was being shot at.
02:27:14.120And he had shot three bullets through my hat, one through my cheek,
02:27:22.720but the bullet came out just through the nose, without hurting anything, any nerves, any teeth.
02:27:30.320one was destined for the heart but that this fraction of or even less than a fraction of
02:27:34.880a second i was just making a gesture turn of the body so i got it in my left elbow
02:27:43.680guys that's like exactly what happened to president trump doesn't that sound familiar
02:27:48.960where like at the last minute he made like a sudden move or turn and that's you know how the
02:27:54.080The bullet, instead of killing him, the bullet just injured him?
02:57:54.440The Shah basically gave away crown land to the peasants who had been under the feudal system of the communists and the Islamists, right?0.95
02:58:05.800So the Shah freed the people, gave them land.0.60
