00:31:28.000Look, look, look, look, look. So it says Iranian drivers highway plea to arm protesters
00:31:35.920amid crackdown. Iranian political analyst Armin Navabi shared video of the driver on a highway
00:31:44.240near Iran's tallest structure, interpreting it as proof that people want arms to face security
00:31:51.420forces live fire. This follows a similar clip of a woman pleading armas amid the brutal 2025-2026
00:31:59.300protests that saw 12,000 to over 30,000 deaths from a crackdown with live ammunition, machine
00:32:06.320guns, and snipers, as reported by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. While
00:32:11.320voices like mark levin amplify calls calls to arm dissidents and tag leaders like trump and netanyahu
00:32:18.200skeptics warn of risks like untrained fighters facing slaughter and mainstream outlets have not
00:32:22.920verified the video you're trending look it starts iranian political analyst armin navabi oh my god
00:32:30.920oh my god here's here's the link oh thank you
00:32:36.760oh wow oh my god guys save this save this link you're literally trending
00:32:45.880oh my god oh i'm so proud of you oh thank you goldie oh my god i hope it works
01:10:28.840Okay, okay. Let's go. Oh, so, guys, I don't know if this is a good segue. I have some bad, serious bad news, so I'll skip that from now on so it's not like we're not laughing right before it.
01:10:41.240okay so this is an interesting news president trump is said that he avoided he he stopped an
01:10:52.100operation to go inside iran and get the enriched uranium to avoid a disaster like what happened
01:10:58.400with jimmy carter so this is a new update from president trump that i haven't heard of so
01:11:04.240president donald trump said he considered sending u.s special operation forces to retrieve iran's
01:11:10.520highly enriched uranium stockpile but rejected the idea because the mission would require weeks
01:11:16.960inside a war zone and risk becoming a jimmy carter moment guys remember we said this to you on iran
01:11:24.100revolution live we said that this is obviously an option that the united states could do but after
01:11:30.980researching the complications of it is like the the details of it is so complicated um and will
01:11:38.160put american soldiers at great risk like it's really really it would be the most complicated
01:11:43.400military slash engineering operations in history and obviously united states is the only country
01:11:50.200that would get be able to get that done however it will still put american soldiers and engineer
01:11:57.480engineers at so much risk that we don't see it happening we said we don't see it happening
01:12:41.460a deal like that seems very, very, you know, unlikely, okay?
01:12:46.280So that's, we could cross that one, right, for now.
01:12:49.620The other one is for the Americans to come
01:12:51.840and take the enriched uranium by force.
01:12:55.100And, you know, we said that's really unlikely
01:12:57.740because it will put the American soldiers at so much risk
01:13:00.440and it seems like we were right about that, right?
01:13:02.800things might change but so far there's that option number three is for china to come and
01:13:09.040get the enriched uranium that is also because there's only two countries who could do it
01:13:14.380that's the united states and china that seems very unlikely it would be considered a defeat
01:13:20.780for president trump to allow the main country that is an adversary of united states the main
01:13:26.440competitor of united states that had worked with the islamic republic and enables the islamic
01:13:30.580republic for them like you can't trust the cpp ccp so that seems like unlikely so that's option
01:13:37.340number three option number four is to just say that you know what it's under the rubble they
01:13:42.080can't get it so let it just be there the islamic republic will not be able to reach it and we'll
01:13:47.180keep an eye for uh we keep an eye on it operation midnight hammer was so successful that is so
01:13:52.780under so much rubble that it's unreachable to the islamic republic so it's good as not it's good as
01:13:58.780already taken that option also seems unlikely because president trump has confirmed multiple
01:14:04.940times that he is going to get it out so if he goes with that means that it will be an obvious defeat
01:14:10.780for president trump so these are the four options that i exhausted and i can't think of any other
01:14:16.060option but option number five is the only realistic option which is regime change option number five
01:14:22.540like i think i these are the five options and i think i give you a complete list of everything
01:14:27.500that is possible if i missed anything let me know um and i will add it to the list but given that
01:14:33.740we have five and four of them seem technically like like close to impossible the only way to get
01:14:41.500the resolve this is regime change the only way to resolve this is regime change and that's why
01:14:46.540the united states will not be able to do anything to would not be able to do anything that would be
01:14:52.060considered a victory other than regime change in iran that's what i think but let's actually
01:14:57.500read the quote by President Trump saying, I didn't want to be Jimmy Carter. I didn't feel
01:15:03.820like being Jimmy Carter. So that topic, so that topic we did, well, we thought about it right
01:15:12.900at the very beginning before you saw, before we did what we did, what before we destroyed
01:15:20.340their entire military, we thought about it. And I didn't want to be in a position where you had
01:15:26.120been here to get there he told reporters at the white house he also added this he's saying it's
01:15:33.420not like it's it's not like it's not like venezuela like you go in you're there for a matter
01:15:40.780of minutes and you're out and everybody's waving goodbye as you and you and you brought the cargo
01:15:47.300to be there for the for two weeks you need massive equipment to airlift the equipment and you're
01:15:54.960in a war zone yeah so we talked about this it's called dark periods right so for example with
01:16:00.660venezuela with maduro going in and taking him out had one dark period one dark period is you need
01:16:08.580the dark period to be able to do operations like this because you have the advantage they can see
01:16:12.940but you have the equipment they can see but if you have multiple dark periods that means that
01:16:17.620you're spoiling your soldiers in hard way in daylight and united states cannot afford to do
01:16:22.980that to its soldiers right so let me out goldie you send me a few stuff let me go over them yeah
01:16:32.000three things let's do these now thank you goody and then maybe after that we'll go to the super
01:16:41.660chest and if there's anything left oh there's one thing i'm going to read after this and then after
01:16:46.660that we'll go to the super chest so let's do the three videos that goldie just sent us all right
01:16:51.780So the caption says, a man described as a government supporter attacked a group of young people in western Iranian city of Kirman Shah after confronting them over a young woman's hijab, according to witness account sent to Iran's international with video of the incident.
01:17:07.440Guys, this proves that the hijab issue hasn't gone away.
01:17:10.400This sometimes dies down, but it comes back.
01:17:57.780what are they what the hell what are they doing to the girl
01:18:01.480the guy starts like attacking her and then people try to like step in and stop so guys you know all
01:18:11.940the people all the propagandists of the islamic regime right like the um you know like the that
01:18:18.300pakistani girl i don't want to say her name that went to occupied iran you know paid by the islamic
01:18:23.960regime. And all these other people who are like, Oh, look, like, no one has to wear hijab. It's a
01:18:30.060lie, right? Like, hijab isn't mandatory. That's all propaganda that's put out by the Islamic regime.
01:18:36.920Or, or if you do see women who are not wearing hijab, it's not because it's free. It's because
01:18:45.860not wearing hijab is an act of civil disobedience. So it's an act of civil disobedience,
01:18:52.760But supporters of the regime are being disingenuous and they're trying to tell people that this is like like Iran is free, just like every other country.
01:19:03.380But as you can see behind the scenes, when no one's looking, this is the reality right here of what happens.
01:25:16.380Let me just read the full article there.
01:25:18.600Two 20-year-old twin brothers in prison in Iran's Ghazal-Hassar prison have been sentenced to death on charges of spying for Israel, according to Iranian rights groups.
01:25:29.460Iran Human Rights said, oh, here are their names, Hassan and Hossein Amiri.
01:25:34.160So, Hassan Amiri and Hossein Amiri were convicted by Branch 26 of Tehran's Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari.
01:25:48.620According to the group, Hassan Amiri was arrested at the checkpoint on March 19th after authorities allegedly found an image of a bombed location on his mobile phone.
01:25:57.940the organization okay i'm not going to read the rest because i don't want to read regime
01:26:02.680you know i don't believe the regime so i'm not going to read the rest so guys their name are
01:26:08.500again hassan amiri and hossein amiri twin brothers 20 years old just wanted to bring that update
01:26:16.440all right so goldie those are some of the updates i had should we go to the q a yeah yeah let's do
01:26:25.400that okay and oh no okay um i need a quick uh 30 second bio break would you be able to get us
01:26:37.500started well absolutely all right be right back okay so um let's go to the first super chat so
01:26:46.660So Sarah says, Armin, your posts are reaching Trump.
01:27:57.760Regarding this one, you're very correct.
01:27:59.980They argue that even though before nine, you don't have to wear a hijab for girls, it's better to get them into the habit.
01:28:08.260So in elementary school, the hijab for girls as young as seven or six is mandatory because they're practicing for when they get nine.
01:28:17.140And I remember when I was in Iran, so many times when families go out and there are girls that are 11, 12, and they're not wearing the hijab.
01:28:24.460Back, you know, 20 years ago when I was in Iran, when the morality police would show up and she would like, why is she not wearing the hijab?
01:30:54.120all right all right william but um okay all right let's go to
01:31:02.400the next super chat wyatt thank you so much for the super chat saying ccp puts muslims in forced
01:31:12.620labor camps maybe they want to go to camp for their summer for the summer it's safer than staying
01:31:19.220in iran and they do have steady work yeah forced forced labor forced work yes and i see what just
01:31:27.380i i see what you did that i see what you did there it's by the way guys i've seen documentaries on
01:31:33.220on how they treat them it's so disgusting the way ccp treats the muslim population in china is
01:31:41.220so disgusting and muslims around the world the vast majority of them completely ignore it
01:31:48.100completely ignore it it's so hypocritical like even even based on your own islamic standards
01:31:55.220like what happened to caring about the ummah like you know the ccp has been so
01:32:02.420uh a sponsor of so many of these islamic countries that they just look the other way
01:32:07.700like they betrayed their own fellow muslims by just completely looking the other way just because
01:32:13.620they're getting so much money and political support and financial support from the ccp
01:32:19.700is so hypocritical which by the way guys it proves that the so-called sympathy of muslims
01:32:27.620for the people in gaza is fake it has nothing to do with the people in gaza it's all about attacking
01:32:36.100jews it's all about attacking israel in fact i bet let me know if you agree with this i bet
01:32:43.620The most anti-Israelis, whether they're Muslim or whether they're leftists,
01:32:48.940if you could basically snap your fingers and make the people in Gaza not have any issues anymore
01:32:56.380and be free and prosperous, they would not accept that.
01:33:00.500They would not wish that because their main ammunition and excuse against Israel would go away.
01:33:07.380I am almost sure that the vast majority of the people that are anti-Israeli, they want the people in Gaza, they want maximum suffering for the people in Gaza, because they want that as a tool against Israel.
01:33:26.460And I've seen so much that confirms that.
01:33:30.160one of them is this one of them is like what china does to its muslim population is far far
01:33:37.440worse than israel i mean israel doesn't do anything against the people in gaza israel is
01:33:42.420the greatest blessing to the people in gaza because guys let me say one more thing nobody
01:33:47.340cares about the lives of people in gaza more than israel more than the idf nobody cares about the
01:33:56.040lives of the people in gaza more than the idf not even the people in gaza not the people in
01:34:03.480gaza don't care about their own lives more than the idf cares about their lives
01:34:11.160all right and thank you thank you for the super chat
01:34:17.080and kelly kelly fortune thank you so much for the super chat saying armin congrats
01:34:24.040on your viral post well thank you kelly i appreciate that you're doing a good thing
01:34:28.680amplifying the message there yes okay it's scary but hopefully it will have a positive effect yes
01:34:34.920they are risking so much to get out yes yes yeah um i you know guys anytime i'm not sure if i'm
01:34:42.520doing something right or wrong i'll do two things i'll do three things i check whether if it's
01:34:49.000aligned with what prince riza palavi is trying to do i check with one of my iranian and friends
01:34:55.880that is secret and i also check with goldie okay and that's how i know if i'm on the right path or
01:35:02.520not okay i'll double sure you check with me oh wow i'm honored yes of course of course yes so
01:35:27.400Sketch is saying, IRGC chat, Javid, so Walmart American, oh, yes, so Walmart Americans can't
01:35:35.900distinguish Javid Shah street videos from IRGC Javid.
01:35:40.440This is a deception at USA and EU, not for media propaganda, not you, not you for media propaganda.
01:35:49.580Yes, that's actually a very good point because they could, you're right, you know,
01:35:54.380they could confuse Americans and Europeans by using Javid and then, you know, now when we say Javid,
01:36:04.680it's hard for us to separate them, separate us from them.
01:36:10.440That's a very good point, and it's a very strategic way for them to, you know, to confuse people.
01:36:19.180So, I mean, I would say the Shah part is the winning part, but they also have a way around that, because they say, we Shahe Karbala, we saw them do that, which means long live the king of Karbala, meaning Hussain.
01:36:35.160so yeah yeah it makes our job more difficult but but yeah we have to come up with clever ways on
01:36:43.200how to disarm them disarm your propaganda i have to think about how to yeah i mean i guess the best
01:36:50.500thing we could do is basically these live streams and tell people about the difference
01:36:54.840and sketch sketch again celebrating his membership for four months four months member thank you for
01:37:03.000being a member, saying peers and friends would use this to say Javid is IRGC. Yep. Anna Kasparian,
01:37:11.060Chuck Huger, Tucker Carlson, all those people. Yeah, exactly. Thank you, Skech. A great point,
01:37:18.240by the way. I'm going to keep an eye on that. Arizu, beautiful name, Arizu, saying that guy
01:37:28.200yelling javid iran is an la singer they said yes i know him i mean i didn't know him until two days
01:37:34.480ago but unfortunately now i know him they they bought him to go to iran to show us all the la
01:37:42.960singers are with irgc you know what this super chat goes with sketches super chat so guys if
01:37:49.940you don't know that that guy that was that singer uh that guy let me bring it up actually again
01:37:57.960um let me find it he like a lot of iranian people were losing like really really angry at seeing
01:38:08.660this at the space guy yeah this guy because he is one of the most and like un-islamic singers that
01:38:16.800has been living in la and singing for iranian americans songs that are about girls but like
01:38:24.840if you look at his music videos they're all just like let me bring this up
01:38:31.040this guy right so he's now in Iran this guy Qaysa okay so he's apparently he's famous among
01:38:41.160Iranians I didn't know him because I don't follow celebrities he's like a celebrity and he's an
01:38:47.140LA celebrity for Iranian Americans and Iranians just basically worldwide and he's singer if you
01:38:53.280look at his videos is that you have like girls like in bikinis and singing and dancing somebody
01:38:59.900that would be considered very un-islamic and now the islamic republic has basically reached out to
01:39:07.120him and is giving him basically probably has given him a lot of money to come to iran and basically
01:39:11.960chant against america and basically say javid iran instead of like javid shah as a way as a
01:39:19.180propaganda tool look at him and like look at his style like he is i don't know if i should show you
01:39:26.140some of his music videos because they're pretty un-islamic they're what they're basically what
01:39:31.360i'm sure we can get the gist of it and um it might be copyrighted if he plays music videos
01:39:37.460yes yes yes but it's what the islamic republic would call a degenerate basically yeah now they're
01:39:43.280using them yeah yeah i thank you by the way arisu for bringing bringing this to our attention

01:44:10.640channel i'm gonna i'm gonna remind people that we have this resource um that's a good suggestion by
01:44:19.280the way thank you okay and then we have philly thank you so much for the super chat saying those
01:44:25.380that calls those that calls themselves reformers what do they exactly want to reform they don't
01:44:32.200to they want to reform the level of power that they have access to they want to reform the fact
01:44:37.160that they don't have power enough and they want more power that's the only thing they want to
01:44:40.760reform right they are actually the people who call themselves reformers they are more hardline
01:44:49.800than the people who don't they they have a they have more their bigger history of violence they
01:44:56.200are more fundamentalist they're just more clever with their politics they are more understanding of
01:45:04.680the pragmatic methods that you need to use both internally and internationally to make the islamic
01:45:11.000republic survive but other than that they know they don't want to reform in fact i think that
01:45:17.320they're more conservative because they are trying to do everything in their power to conserve the
01:45:22.920the Islamic Republic and they think that the so-called hardliners are not, oh, sorry,
01:45:29.480are not a hardliner enough, are not conservative enough, like their methods is going to make
01:45:35.460the Islamic Republic fall and they are the true followers of the Islamic Republic because
01:45:42.360they have the way to keep the Islamic Republic going.
01:45:47.060So if anything, I would consider them to be more conservative and more hardline.
01:45:52.920Like, for example, let me tell you, for example, like Rouhani was the first person that introduced Imam Khomeini as an imam.
01:46:02.220Before Rouhani, which is supposed to be a reformer, the title imam was either used for the 12 imams of Shia Muslims or the imam of the Friday prayer that you pray behind.
01:46:14.540But making the Khomeini an imam was done by the reformist Rouhani.
01:46:20.400And for example, other examples is that the highest amount of killings of the Iranian people have been done
01:46:26.520every time a so-called reformist government has been in power.
01:46:30.940Another example is, for example, Pazeshgian, who's been considered a reformist.
01:46:34.780He used to push for mandatory hijab rules inside Iran,
01:46:41.040even before the Islamic Republic got to the point when they wanted to have mandatory hijab.
01:46:45.980There's so many examples of this that I could go over that shows that the so-called reformers are actually even more hardline.
01:46:53.820So they're not trying to reform anything.
01:56:46.420Yeah, we got deep into philosophy, I would say.
01:56:50.060And by the way, Spinoza is kind of, people debate for a long time whether Spinoza is a monist in a material sense or both material and spiritual, because, you know, I'm getting too much into philosophy.
