00:02:30.000When you look at the crowds today, you have maybe five, six thousand people here. On the streets yesterday, a million people, a million Iranians in the street for the Ayatollah Khomeini. Does that not give you concern? Does that not make you afraid?
00:02:43.440Because they are afraid, yeah, that's right. And most of the people don't say anything because they are afraid. They are in silence, you know? They don't say anything.
00:02:54.240Is this the silent majority of Iran out here now?
00:14:27.600It is a practical one, grounded in national interest, stability and cooperation.
00:14:36.600To achieve this, now is the time to stand with the Iranian people.
00:14:42.320The fall of the Islamic Republic and the establishment of a secular democratic government in Iran will not only restore dignity to my people, it will benefit the region and the world.
00:14:59.780A free Iran will be a force for peace, for prosperity and for partnership.
00:34:19.620Yeah. Well, I believe that the governor has said that if the Republicans make it in there,
00:34:24.740that he's somehow going to change the rules again. So, you never know until the very last bit of it.
00:34:29.940But staying in California, the president endorsed retired Marine and former Stockton Mayor
00:34:35.060Kevin Lincoln, hoping to oust Democrat Congressman Adam Gray. How strong do you think his argument is
00:34:43.140for change? You know, I look at all of these races that the president has endorsed and it
00:34:51.300certainly helps people in a primary. I mean, there's no question that has an ability to rally
00:34:58.260the folks who support him. I can't remember any president who has a more personal connection to
00:35:04.500his voters than Donald Trump and that they're willing to follow his lead almost without question.
00:35:10.740And so, you know, again, for California, the key is to get in the run and to get in the primary, you know, to win one of the top two seats so you can get into the runoff in November.
00:36:27.240But I think what you're seeing with Hinson and some of the other congressional candidates is, you know, these districts that, you know, were trending Republican in this midterm are trending back the other way.
00:36:37.920There's a lot of concern about the economy. There's concern about the war and prices, et cetera. And so those races are going to be up in the air until I think we get some sort of resolution on this war. I think the real key point in that is, you know, getting, not necessarily getting Iran out and not having a nuclear weapon or getting that dust.
00:36:58.840I think the most important thing right now is to get the Straits Ormuz open, have no Iranian or Omani control of it.
00:37:06.960That will lower gas prices, stabilize the situation, and I think really help domestically quite a bit.
00:37:13.460So it sounds like you think the key to these midterms really is not necessarily international impact,
00:37:19.480but much more the gas, the basics that people are facing every single day.
00:37:23.080Yeah, the consequences of policies that affect people's pocketbooks are always the things that matter.
00:37:28.840Having said that, people are not going to be happy. The Republican base will certainly not be happy if Trump, you know, signs a deal that is considered a defeat, you know, like allowing Iran to control the straights or moves, etc.
00:37:42.120So it's a balancing act for the president. One thing I do know, and I listen to what he says very carefully, he understands that.
00:37:48.700And I think he'll get a good deal in the end.
00:37:50.720OK, Senator Rick Santorum, thank you so much.
00:43:39.060So a critical few hours and days ahead here, I think it's fair to say. Certainly the White House is putting out a message that a deal is potentially closed. But of course, nothing is final until both sides sign on the dotted line. I have been tracking what the Iranians have been saying throughout the day. Their position seems to be the same as it was going into today.
00:44:00.440their foreign ministry saying that when it comes to an agreement with the U.S., it has, quote,
00:44:05.680not been finalized. So undoubtedly, those talks continuing between D.C. and Tehran. Edie.
00:44:12.280Yes, thank you very much, Brent. Yeah, they continue to say that they want,
00:44:17.280that they will only focus on ending the hostilities. They do not want to discuss
00:44:21.740nuclear negotiations right now. That certainly seems to be the position,
00:44:27.440and we know that that is probably the most controversial part of these talks.
00:44:31.860We know that the red line for the United States and for the president
00:44:35.560is that Iran cannot keep that highly enriched uranium
00:44:39.140because it could mean that they could make a nuclear weapon0.91
00:44:41.480and they just do not want to see a world
00:44:43.900in which the Islamic Republic of Iran has a nuclear weapon in its hands.
00:44:48.500So, look, certainly state media in Iran has lots to say.
00:44:51.900We know there's been a lot of back-channel discussion.
00:44:54.200certainly messaging right now from the White House is that they are trying to put diplomacy first,
00:44:58.920but we need to remember the military option is still well and truly on the table. As we heard
00:45:03.100from the Secretary of War there, all of those U.S. assets that were in place for Operation Epic Fury
00:45:08.680when it started, they are all still in the Middle East. So if the president decides that diplomacy
00:45:13.360is not going to work, then the U.S. military can get back into action extremely quickly.
00:45:18.260Right now, it seems like there are two memorandums of understanding out there,
00:45:22.380but they understand completely different things because the Iranian key issues and the U.S. key
00:45:27.780issues don't seem to be jiving in that memorandum. Yeah, that's exactly right. And I think that
00:45:34.800perhaps what the U.S. negotiating team is experiencing here is just how the Iranians1.00
00:45:40.180like to operate. I mean, they have been doing this for the best part of 47 years. They like0.99
00:45:44.760to string things along, drag out negotiations, buy more time for their regime. They've done this
00:45:51.120countless times before and it seems that they are relying a little bit on that playbook but
00:45:55.960certainly when you speak to some officials in the region particularly in Israel they are cautioning
00:46:01.880that the Iranians themselves need to be a bit careful here they may be overplaying their hand
00:46:06.080they are dealing with a highly unpredictable president who is not afraid as we've seen
00:46:11.100to use military force in order to force people to the table so there's probably only so long that0.96
00:46:17.480the Iranians continue to try and play this sort of long game with the president does feel eventually0.95
00:46:22.060patients could well run out. And indeed, the U.S. military is all in the right position right now0.99
00:46:28.240to recommence operations if indeed diplomacy falls through. Yeah, but their most dangerous enemy is
00:46:33.380the one that's backed into a corner and has no options. And that's kind of been this regime
00:46:36.880from the get-go. Trent, thank you very much for being with us. Thanks, Eddie. You bet. We are
00:46:42.120joined now by some special guests. We have Mike Baker, host of the President's Brief Podcast,
00:46:48.700James Jeffrey, former Deputy National Security Advisor to President George W. Bush,
00:46:53.080and Goldie Gamari, Iranian-born human rights activist. Mike, I want to start with you. The
00:46:58.040president left the situation room yesterday, and we still don't have any memorandum. And quite
00:47:05.540frankly, what I'm hearing is Iran saying exactly what they said from the start. They controlled0.89
00:47:11.300straight now and they're not giving that up and they're also not giving up the enriched uranium.
00:47:15.140Yeah no and that's that's the problem here is that look but neither side wants to obviously
00:47:19.220appear weak right. The White House cannot come out of this with simply a that uh reopens the
00:47:26.260straight in some fashion. I don't think we're ever going to get back to freedom of navigation the way
00:47:29.620that it was. Well if that's the case then that means we're going back to something that it's
00:47:34.740worse than it was when we started. Well that's and that's a distinct possibility because what
00:47:38.740What I'm saying is if that's the deal, and then the concept is we'll kick the can down the road for the nuclear discussions,
00:47:45.000which were front and center at the beginning of this, and in exchange there are some assets unfrozen,
00:47:52.140some sanctions waivers issued perhaps, that's going to be really tough for the White House to spin that as some kind of win.
00:47:59.720And they do that, right? So they're holding out for it.
00:48:02.680Really, at the end of the day, the Iranian regime sees no upside to doing anything other than what they always do.0.75
00:48:08.400They are they are masters at slow rolling negotiations. Yeah. And so they see that as as why change at this stage of the game. If the economy, though, craters. Right. The only thing they have to worry about the regime is civil unrest.
00:48:24.200Yeah. Ask Goldie about that in just a little bit. James, though, you understand how Iran negotiates. So when you take a look at this and how they typically have used ceasefire time, what are your concerns?
00:48:35.040Thanks for having me on. I'm concerned that the Iranians are not being totally clear on the0.67
00:48:43.260total lifting of their embargo on the Straits in return for us lifting our blockade. That's
00:48:50.960the first thing. Secondly, what President Trump needs in the first phase is an Iranian commitment
00:48:56.960to do something about the highly enriched uranium buried in the ground and some kind of commitment
00:49:03.060to do something about long-term limits on enrichment.
01:08:58.480And the post keeps going and going. And he's basically saying that in this Quranic verse, God is telling Noah that his son is basically not a good, his son who basically drowned in the storm. Don't worry, he wasn't really your son because he was a crappy son. So he wasn't really part of your family.
01:09:16.780so he keeps on going and going and basically talking about just because somebody is somebody
01:09:22.140else's son it doesn't mean they're really a good person or worthy right so goldie who is he talking
01:09:29.120about obviously much time right much double talk starting with the post by saying who's worthy of
01:09:36.000um this leadership and then talking about noah's son not being his son he keeps on going and
01:09:41.940talking about how blood relationship doesn't make you worthy just because you're related0.85
01:09:49.020by blood to somebody, which is rich coming from a Shia, by the way, because their entire0.99
01:09:53.600MMS is based on blood relationship. But yeah, so this was seen as a direct attack by Hamid0.96
01:10:02.460Rasoy against Mojtaba. And then he came out and he put another post on saying like,
01:10:07.980Now, I wasn't like, oh, why you guys are reading too much into this?
01:10:12.700Like, I wasn't talking about Mushtaba at all.
01:10:29.840But guys, you can see Mushtaba's Supreme Leadership
01:10:32.800is now being challenged by the people that we here already expected0.81
01:10:37.540Remember here on Iran Revolution Live, we already told you that the Pai Dari camp has always secretly been against the Khamenei camp, but they're obviously too afraid to announce it, right?0.69
01:10:51.620We told you here that the spiritual leader of the Pai Dari camp is Mir Bagheri, not Khamenei.0.64
01:10:59.720Even when Ali Khamenei was alive, this is the spiritual leader that the Pai Dari camp believes in, not Ali Khamenei.0.77
01:11:06.480So as we predicted, eventually, now that the Khamenei camp is getting weaker, the Pardari camp is becoming more daring with their attacks on Mushtab al-Khamenei.
01:11:17.480And this also shows Goldie that President Trump's ceasefire and negotiations has worked because I have I've been following these people for so many years.
01:11:29.600I have never seen this much of a transparent division among them.
01:11:34.300Like everything that we always knew that is happening behind the scenes is now surfacing out in the open for everyone to see because of President Trump's strategy.
01:11:44.280Because President Trump has three weapons against the Islamic Republic, military, economic pressure, but these minds, these psychological warfare.
01:11:52.380And I think that's actually the most effective against the Islamic Republic because you can't completely bomb the Islamic Republic out of existence.0.90
01:11:59.200You can't just rely on the economic pressure is not going to destroy the Islamic Republic because you have to destroy these people by their roots.0.98
01:12:07.400And their roots is their ideology and their legitimacy among their own followers.0.99
01:12:12.560And this is exactly how you completely destroy the Islamic Republic.0.98
01:12:16.520And I think President Trump knows that.0.95
01:12:18.140And that's why he's taking them through all of these roller coasters.
01:12:21.940Yeah, I mean, it's definitely like Game of Thrones, except Game of Durka, right?
01:12:27.500right exactly um all right okay let's go to uh let's go to yeah kings of pahlavi
01:12:37.140awesome okay let's do that which by the way amazing job done by our host today so let us
01:12:46.160give a round of applause thank you very much you did a fantastic power maybe
01:12:52.080the delivering this remark direct royal highness prince of iran mr you want to hear the intro
01:13:04.560i want to see how he introduces him okay okay station from many points of view
01:13:12.320you know that in the program it was marked as a secret guest
01:13:16.560it's time to reveal the secrets so i'm very much honored to invite to this stage
01:13:23.040his royal highness prince of iran mr reza pahlavi
01:13:36.000thank you very much your excellencies distinguished guests colleagues and friends
01:13:43.440There is something fitting about delivering these remarks here in Odessa, a city that
01:13:51.640has looked into the face of foreign aggression and refused to blink, a city that knows what
01:14:00.160it means to defend not just territory, but liberty.
01:14:06.840I stand before you with the deepest admiration for the Ukrainian people and with a kinship
01:14:15.400that is not just diplomatic, it is forged in a shared understanding of what it costs
01:14:23.680to resist those who believe that might supersedes the will of a free people.
01:14:32.680i come to you at the moment of great consequences
01:14:37.800iran has endured a year of fire more than 40 000 of my compatriots
01:14:44.920were slaughtered in the dark unarmed men and women who took to the
01:14:51.400streets in january demanding nothing more than
01:14:56.120the right to choose their own future they were met with bullets with mass arrests with an internet
01:15:05.400blackout designed to ensure the world would not see what was being done to them my country has
01:15:14.440been struck from every direction by the regime from within and by the consequences of the regime's0.95
01:15:22.600own recklessness from without and yet the islamic republic still stands some in this room may
01:15:34.840interpret that as a sign of the regime's resilience i am here to tell you it is not0.69
01:15:43.160it is a sign of the world's failure to draw the right conclusions from what it is watching
01:15:49.800It is a sign that the free world has not yet understood what it is truly fighting or what it stands to gain from that fight when that fight is won.
01:16:04.420That is what I have come to Edessa to say.
01:16:09.260Let me begin what you should by now be beyond dispute.
01:16:13.700The drones darkening the skies of Ukrainian cities are built by the same factories, funded by the same regime that deployed drone surveillance over Tehran's streets to hunt down protesters in the dark.
01:16:32.600They fed coordinates to snipers and arrest squads operating under an internet blackout they themselves imposed.
01:16:42.420The same drones have been deployed to armed regime proxies across the Middle East.
01:16:50.300The Shahed drone does not distinguish between a residential block in Kharkiv,
01:16:55.860a protest square in Tehran, or commercial offices in Dubai.0.94
01:17:02.600It serves the same masters and advances the same agenda.
01:17:07.140the destruction of any sovereign people's right to determine their own future.
01:17:29.720A doctrine that the rules-based international order is a Western imposition to be dismantled, that borders are suggestions, that sovereignty belongs to the powerful, no matter how wicked, and not to the people, no matter how righteous.
01:17:50.420That democracies are inherently weak and can be made to yield.0.86
01:17:56.160this is not a new axis the Islamic Republic has been waging its version of0.93
01:18:04.680this war for 47 years against the Iranian people first against them then
01:18:13.260against its neighbors then against any order that constrained it Russia has
01:18:20.000been waging its version for decades against its own Democrats against Georgia
01:18:26.060and jointly with the Islamic Republic against Syria and the Ukraine.
01:18:33.040What has changed is that they are no longer doing so in parallel.
01:18:38.180They are doing so together, coordinated and boldened.
01:18:43.860They have been watching very carefully to see whether the free world will respond with the seriousness this moment demands.0.66
01:18:54.880make no mistake they are watching your response to ukraine's invasion to calculate their next
01:19:04.020move in iran and they are watching your response to iran to calculate their next move here
01:19:11.840i want to speak directly about something that has troubled me in the years i have spent engaging
01:19:19.960with governments and security establishments across the democratic world there is a persistent
01:19:28.360temptation understandable human but ultimately catastrophic and self-defeating to seek a deal
01:19:38.760with despots to find a way to manage them to appease them to sign an agreement
01:19:47.400ease a sanction, extend a hand, in the hope that a marginal concession would purchase stability.
01:19:59.000A rabid dog knows only to bite the friendly hand.
01:20:14.400They want to come home from the negotiating table with something to show,
01:20:20.180a piece of paper that can be brandished as peace in our time.
01:20:25.880They want the conflict to be over, the threat to be contained,
01:20:30.320the problem to be solved, so they can move on,
01:20:35.060even if only for the duration of their mandate.
01:20:39.180but let me draw on 47 years of watching the islamic republic negotiate with the west
01:20:47.220with its neighbors with international bodies and tell you what i have seen
01:20:53.420tehran and moscow play the same rules the gromyko rule you are all too familiar with
01:21:02.100Begin by dragging things out until your adversaries wear themselves down.
01:21:10.180Then, put forward hardline demands you know they won't accept.
01:21:15.720Next, hold them responsible for the deadlock.
01:21:19.400And finally, use the delay to consolidate and improve your position on the ground.
01:21:27.920Every agreement has bought time for the regime.0.53
01:21:32.100Not for the people, and not for the free world.0.60
01:21:36.780Every sanctioned relief has funded not schools or hospitals, but the Revolutionary Guard, proxy armies, and the drone factories whose products now circle the city.0.59
01:21:50.340every handshake extended to its representatives was a photo of the regime used at home to prove0.55
01:21:59.780that the world accepted it and used abroad to prove the other rogue actors that patience
01:22:07.780and persistence in the face of international pressure yields dividends the iranian people
01:22:16.900who have suffered under this calculation for nearly five decades have a message for you
01:22:23.220they paid the price for every deal the world made with their oppressors
01:22:28.820they asked that you not make them pay for the next one
01:22:34.100patient engagement with tyrants does not produce peace it produces better armed tyrants and more
01:22:42.500exhausted people never trust the world of tyrants
01:22:50.500history has recorded this lesson repeatedly0.93
01:22:55.300it was true of every accommodation made with the soviet union
01:23:00.020that simply delayed rather than resolve the confrontation
01:23:06.020it was true of every concession made to the islamic republic0.95
01:23:10.420that simply rebuilt with maximum pressure had dismantled only democracies build lasting peace0.91
01:23:19.380because only democracies are answerable to the people who bear the cost of war
01:23:26.740despots are not answerable to no one and that is precisely why no agreement with them is ever final
01:23:35.860i want to say something now that i believe this forum is uniquely positioned to hear
01:23:46.260a free and democratic iran is not merely an iranian interest it is one of the most
01:23:53.300consequential strategic opportunities available to the free world in this generation0.72
01:23:59.700consider what changes the day the islamic republic falls0.94
01:24:05.480the principal financier and arms supplier of hamas of hezbollah of the houthis of the
01:24:14.020militias destabilizing iraq and syria is gone the regime that has supplied russia
01:24:21.000with the drones currently threatening this city is gone the military nuclear program
01:24:28.200developed for coercion is terminated the engine of Islamic extremism that has0.98
01:24:35.440spent nearly five decades exporting instability across three continents is0.73
01:24:41.580dissembled the Strait of Hormuz is not used to hold the world economy hostage
01:24:48.660but to facilitate international commerce and cooperation and in its place a nation
01:24:57.300of 90 million people educated entrepreneurial historically moderate and geopolitically
01:25:06.180significant rejoins the community of nations iran sits at the intersection of the caspian
01:25:15.140the persian gulf and central asia a democratic iran anchored in the free world does not merely
01:25:23.540remove a threat it creates a peace dividend of historic proportions for europe for the
01:25:31.540black sea region for the middle east and the rest of the world ukraine and iran are fighting
01:25:40.980different battles on different soils but we are fighting the same war we are fighting for the
01:25:49.780principle that sovereignty lies with the people that borders are not negotiable
01:25:57.620that the international order is not merely a suggestion that the strong do
01:26:04.660not have the right to devour the weak a democratic Ukraine that endures is a
01:26:11.980beacon for every people subject to foreign aggression a democratic Iran
01:26:17.980that rises is a beacon for every people living under theocratic oppression each
01:26:25.600of our victories strengthens the other each of our defeats emboldens the same
01:26:33.040forces this is why I am calling for a transatlantic coalition not merely to
01:26:40.600support Ukraine and not merely to pressure the Islamic Republic but to
01:26:45.740confront the moscow tehran axis as the unified strategic threat that it is this means coordinated
01:26:56.300sanctions enforcement that does not allow one side of the axis to compensate for pressure on
01:27:02.380the other it means arms and intelligence cooperation that recognize it that iranian drone and missile
01:27:11.100supply chain as a as a nato relevant threat it means explicit political support for the
01:27:19.100democratic opposition in iran not as a geopolitical gambit but as a matter of moral and strategic
01:27:26.460coherence and it means a clear articulation that when iran is free the west is ready to move
01:27:34.780swiftly with investment with integration with a full embrace that the nation rejoining the
01:27:41.260democratic world deserves i have been asked whether i am concerned about the islamic republic's
01:27:49.580durability whether the regime's continued survival should temper expectations my answer is no this is
01:28:00.140is what I see. I see a regime that used Hezbollah operatives and Iraqi and Afghan militias to
01:28:09.460suppress its own people in January. Not because it was strong, because its own security forces
01:28:17.740could no longer be fully trusted to fire on Iranian citizens. A regime that imports mercenaries1.00
01:28:26.580to kill its own people is not demonstrating strength it is confessing
01:28:33.060to its own collapse from within I see a military and intelligent establishment
01:28:40.820whose outer defenses were exposed and degraded I see an economy in which the
01:28:48.120currency has fallen from 70 reals to the dollar in 1979 to 1.7 million today i see a generation
01:28:59.960of young iranians the most educated the most connected the most freedom oriented generation
01:29:08.360in the country's modern history who have decided with their lives that this regime has no future0.93
01:29:18.120the Islamic Republic is not stronger than it was a year ago it is hollower the0.60
01:29:25.560facade is still standing but the structure behind it is not what is
01:29:31.980required now is not patience with the regime it is urgency in support of the
01:29:37.740people rising against it for this our strategy is clear maximum pressure on the
01:29:46.840islamic republic maximum support for the iranian people maximum defections from within the regime
01:29:56.680maximum mobilization of iranians and the iran prosperity project we have made measured progress
01:30:06.840on each and every one of these but we have more to do ipp is a transition framework developed
01:30:15.080with iranian experts jurists and civil society an iran prosperity project with three phases
01:30:23.560emergency establishment and normalization designed to ensure that when the regime falls
01:30:31.240iran does not fall into chaos but rises into order a transitional justice program to ensure
01:30:39.960we move forward not with vengeance but with accountability an economic recovery package
01:30:47.560ready to be implemented a diplomatic posture ready to normalize relations with the west
01:30:54.360with iran's neighbors and build trust with the international community from day one
01:31:01.960we are not asking the world to build iran's future for us we are asking the world to recognize
01:31:08.520that we are ready and capable of building it ourselves
01:31:14.280and that standing with us now is in the strategic interest of every nation in this room
01:31:22.920we do not need nation building we are ready to build back our own nation
01:31:28.680let me close with this 47 years ago my family was forced to leave Iran I was 17 years old
01:31:41.000I left to train as a military pilot but never returned home that was not my choice
01:31:48.480while it has never stopped being my country for 47 years I have carried the voices of Iranians1.00
01:31:56.900who could not speak for themselves in the rooms that matter I have never1.00
01:32:02.600stopped believing that Iran would be free I have never stopped believing that
01:32:08.780the Iranian people who gave the world the first declaration of human rights in
01:32:14.300Cyrus the Great Cylinder deserve to live with the dignity they themselves
01:32:19.940defined for civilization I am NOT here today to ask for sympathy I am NOT here
01:32:28.940to describe suffering though the suffering is real and staggering I am
01:32:35.500here to make a strategic argument to this strategic audience at this strategic
01:32:42.680moment the Moscow Tehran axis is the defining adversarial alignment of our
01:32:50.300era it must be confronted as such with the same coherence the same resolve and
01:32:58.220the same transatlantic solidarity that defined the West's finest hour Ukraine
01:33:07.040has held the line at enormous cost Iran is paying an enormous price to break
01:33:13.640free the free world has moral strategic and historical reason to stand with both1.00
01:33:23.800do not negotiate with the axis of chaos confront it do not manage the Islamic0.76
01:33:32.360Republic. End it. Do not wait for a better moment. This is the moment. I'm not1.00
01:33:41.620waiting. The people of Iran are not waiting. History is the tale of actions
01:33:50.800not contemplations. We are doing our part. Join us.
01:34:22.000Goldie, should we add Slava Ukraini at the end when we say...
01:34:26.000I feel like that would be way too much.
01:34:28.000much but we can we can we can include it whenever you know we're speaking about Ukraine so we'll
01:34:34.780definitely add it you know today okay well I did just today just today okay okay fantastic yes love
01:34:42.940it love it go deep I have a suspicion I have a suspicion that and I don't know if I'm right
01:34:54.340this but i have a suspicion that this is not just about building a great relationship with ukraine0.97
01:35:01.140which we need iran and ukraine but it's also about arming the iranian people with drones
01:35:07.380i think this constant meetings and visits between prince reza palavi president zielinski
01:35:16.260and this meeting and this visit could be about what ukrainians did in syria to train the
01:35:24.980opposition against assad and give them drones i think this might also be about that interesting
01:35:32.420okay huh i mean it's definitely not out of the realm of possibility so you um
01:35:47.780you're making a very excellent and interesting point there wow okay thank you thank you yeah

01:36:48.160and then we're going to go to the super chest okay so i know he always reminds me yeah yeah
01:36:55.180goldie as always inspires me to you know pay attention to this so iran sentences another
01:37:02.040athlete to death over january protest so let me just read this really quickly for you guys
01:37:08.200sorry yeah iranian political prisoner and martial arts champion uh benyamin
01:37:13.840Nagadi, who was arrested during January protests in Shiraz, that's my city by the way, has been
01:37:24.360sentenced to death for spreading corruption on earth, his lawyer said. State media earlier
01:37:32.280released Nagdis, I should see the Persian version of this, forced confessions, identifying him as0.86
01:37:42.140a young man who used a canister filled with flammable liquid to throw flames at governments.0.93
01:37:50.820But this is, guys, this is forced confession, so I'm not even going to read the forced confession.
01:37:55.480His lawyer Mustafa Nili told Emtidat that Nagdi was initially issued an indictment on charges
01:38:09.000including waging war against Allah, membership in groups, disrupting security, assembling and collusion to commit crimes against national security,
01:38:22.860and propaganda against the establishment.
01:38:25.400Neely added that separate accusations causing bodily harm to officers.
01:38:31.820Again, I'm not going to read the accusations because they're all just under forced confession.
01:51:40.780we the people stand with the people of persia thank you thank you i appreciate that um i was
01:51:46.440kind of armin i was describing 12 verse shia um islam last night a little bit and i was like
01:51:51.840think of like the movie the ring where like the japanese girl is like stuck in the well
01:51:55.680and it's like this horror story and then when she comes out of the well it's like she starts
01:51:59.620killing people i was like that's like you know 12 verse shia because like their imam is stuck in a
01:52:05.480well and then they have to bring it out with armageddon and then basically he'll come out of0.63
01:52:09.940the well and that's when people start dying and they all go like you know that's a genius analogy0.99
01:52:17.560we should make an ai video with the mahdi coming out of the well like but looking like that
01:52:24.400we could make a scary movie version of the mahdi that is not that's genius i'm i'm guys i'm fully
01:52:32.340convinced and you cannot convince me otherwise like i am 100 convinced that the movie the ring
01:52:37.820is based on 12 or shia that's good that's good i like that good one wow okay okay i'm gonna use
01:52:50.020that yeah i'll credit you goldie don't worry okay that's why you don't have to credit me it's all
01:52:55.520good no you should have said well you better like watching it like this like that's what
01:53:00.320yes okay all right and then we have another super chat from push-ups again push-ups is giving us as
01:53:10.080many super chats as he does push-ups or she i don't know uh push-ups say nearly 1.5 million0.67
01:53:16.240russian casualties putin fell yes putin fail we need to liberate russia free russia from the
01:53:24.000oppression and of putin um yes and and yeah so yeah i hope i hope more and more russian people
01:53:34.240eventually realize how bad putin is for russia and then push up with another super chat saying
01:53:40.640this speech against tyranny will anger libertarians well i mean american fake libertarians yes i mean
01:53:48.480libertarianism was supposed to be about liberty and liberty libertarians were supposed to be about
01:53:53.440tyranny but yeah i know what you're talking about push-ups the um these new and so-called
01:53:59.360libertarian americans apparently libertarianism has turned into supporting terrorism and tyranny
01:54:05.520but i know exactly i know exactly the type of so-called libertarians that you're talking about
01:54:10.560unfortunately oh my god yeah uh i mean like nothing says libertarianism more than supporting
01:54:19.040hezbollah and the islamic republic yeah guys yeah sure like the islamic republic is hand
01:54:23.600is the libertarianism supporting like it's supposed to be about limited government0.94
01:54:29.280like the islamic republic very hands-off the islamic republic that's what they're famous for
01:54:34.240limited government um okay thank you thank you so much willie willie coyote for the super chat0.54
01:54:43.040thank you, thank you, saying a democratic Iran changes the balance of power in the Middle East
01:54:49.920and allows the U.S. to pivot to Asia. Yes, China cannot allow the regime to fall. That is very,
01:54:57.760very on point. That is the greatest fear of CCP when it comes to the fall of the Islamic. So this
01:55:06.880This is a very tough balance for the CCP, right?0.69
01:55:10.020If the Islamic Republic falls, then the United States will be able to focus so much of its resources on the basically South China Sea and containment with the CCP.
01:55:23.520But if the Islamic Republic becomes nuclear, then that would mean that the CCP will completely lose control over the Islamic Republic and it would not be their proxy anymore.0.71
01:55:34.580So the most ideal situation for the CCP is the current situation right now, exactly how it is right now.0.51
01:55:42.640So they were trying to get the Islamic Republic to be anti-American, but stay weak.0.71
01:55:47.960They want the Islamic Republic to be as weak as it is right now.0.56
01:55:51.940But eventually that would not last.0.61
01:55:53.580One way or another is going to fall in one of these sides.
01:56:01.660and then pj thank you so much for the super show saying armin keep on fighting we are
01:56:06.940by your side thank you so much you know guys it's your encouragement and your support
01:56:12.220and these you know messages of motivation that you guys send us that is that is you know sometimes i
01:56:18.700feel like oh my god i have 10 hours of live streaming again today like how am i gonna do it
01:56:23.100but then i was like the 10 hour finishes i'm like huh i'm not even tired why am i not even tired
01:56:29.260and like i realize it's you guys it's your messages like i feel like i'm basically my
01:56:33.980job is hanging out with friends and talking talking about my favorite topic with friends
01:56:40.300that's what i'm doing and that's why i don't get tired um and then fleshy interloper thank you so
01:56:48.780much for the super chat always supporting us saying do you think anyone in trump's inner circle
01:56:53.340supports the deal a surrender deal but go do how would you respond to this what do you think0.70
01:56:59.260Um, I think the deal that they support is the surrender deal that the Islamic regime will never agree to. Right? Like, that's the thing people have to just realize is that the conditions of the deal are essentially a surrender deal. And the Islamic regime will never agree to that.0.84
01:57:20.580so i mean exactly like like guys you have to remember normal rational logical people0.54
01:57:28.460will always want to choose um peace and diplomacy over uh warfare but in the case of the islamic0.95
01:57:36.480regime we're not dealing with normal rational logical people we're dealing with this uh jihadi1.00
01:57:42.580islamic death cult and president trump has called them and rightfully so uh they're a bunch of1.00
01:57:49.340lunatics right they're a bunch of lunatics so president trump's like you guys are insane1.00
01:57:53.840here's the deal you can either accept unconditional surrender or we're going to bomb you like he's been1.00
01:58:00.020very clear about that yeah exactly i think that the exactly like goldie said people in most
01:58:10.140most people in trump's inner circle are aligned um and even if they have disagreements they
01:58:16.540make themselves aligned because their understanding is that they're serving
01:58:20.440the president, right? So this is what you do when you come to President Trump's
01:58:24.920cabinet, even if you have some misalignment on your policies and your
01:58:28.840philosophy, you are serving the president, so you get aligned.
01:58:33.620You know, you could do things a bit differently if you
02:06:48.020i've been on many debates in about god okay um and i don't believe in god however i think the
02:06:55.660way we talk about it as atheists we have to make it we have to talk about it in a way
02:07:01.540to not alienate all the people who are fighting by our side who do believe in god who are fighting
02:07:07.880for the same thing who are fighting for liberty right because remember like iran has a very high
02:07:12.980percentage of atheists like comparable to many advanced countries which is true but it's still
02:07:19.200minority atheists so most iranians are not uh most iranians have left islam but they still do
02:07:26.360believe in god and even if we want to debate like i am i am i'm very interested in debating god
02:07:33.380uh with anybody who's interested uh but when it comes to fighting against like islamic tyranny0.54
02:07:40.160Even if we want to debate God, I think we have to do it in a way for us not to alienate the people who believe in God, especially at a time that we need unity among all the people who are fighting for liberty.0.95
02:07:55.760So, no, Javid is saying Armin has changed his stance on this one.
02:08:09.480i have always been an advocate of debating god without uh alienating people i always even with
02:08:20.040muslims i have said this forever in fact i am the guy that always says that my fight with islam not
02:08:25.980with muslims and i'm the guy that has been like very aggressive even against like islam while
02:08:31.680saying that we need to um we need to be pro-muslims because they also have been fighting against
02:08:39.600islamic republic right by our side right so the only position that i have changed is that my
02:08:46.320priority has changed but my positions are the same my priority has changed my priority is that we
02:08:53.600have a this army of the undead coming for the land and we are debating each other fighting
02:09:01.280each other over the throne and it doesn't really matter who's sitting at the throne because0.98
02:09:06.320communism and islam and woke left and woke right are a threat to civilization and our disagreement0.93
02:09:13.680over i don't know judaism christianity hinduism or atheism is just a disagreement and it's not a0.96
02:09:21.220priority it's we could have that disagreement and we could have that debate anytime we want
02:09:26.660But when we have Islamic tyranny, when you have communism, when you have the walk left and walk right, basically against civilization as it is right now, then the priority should be against that threat.0.90
02:09:44.320And we have to be careful not to fight among each other on that topic.0.99
