00:35:47.000The world must not negotiate with a regime that has an insatiable lust for blood.
00:35:53.460The world has a moral obligation to stop this cycle of terror, now and for good.
00:36:09.440the so-called islamic republic is not the government of iran it is a hostile occupying
00:36:21.440force that's hijacked our homeland after invading five neighboring countries and
00:36:29.440sawing chaos across the region this regime has invaded iran itself using foreign terrorists
00:36:37.520Hezbollah fighters, Iraqi militias, and other mercenaries to slaughter the
00:36:45.620Iranian people. This is no longer mere repression. This is foreign occupation
00:36:52.720wearing clerical robes. Just as Saddam Hussein drowned the marshes in blood and
00:36:59.640Bashar al-Assad turned barrel bombs on his own children, Ali Khamenei and his
00:37:06.040thugs have committed mass crimes against Iranian people and against all of humanity and just like
00:37:14.840those other tyrannies the Islamic Republic will fall not if but when the world must hear this
00:37:26.040clearly the battle in Iran today is not between reform and revolution it is between occupation
00:37:35.240and liberation and the iranian people have already chosen their side their heads are bloodied but
00:37:44.120unbowed yet the cost has been heartbreaking the people of iran are being slaughtered in the
00:37:52.920streets and in their homes by a regime that shows no mercy more than 12 000 iranians were massacred
00:38:02.840in 48 hours. One murder every 14 seconds. Khamenei's killers even hunted the wounded
00:38:11.560protesters in hospitals and executed them in cold blood. The regime collected piles of bodies with
00:38:21.400dump trucks and forced worried families to search unlabeled body bags. They refused to return bodies
00:38:29.480for burial without payment for the cost of the bullets that killed their loved ones and where
00:38:36.760a family cannot pay up to seven thousand several thousand dollars and most of them can't they bury
00:38:43.400the dead in unmarked mass graves and despite the lies you're hearing from the regime
00:38:51.160its bloodlust has not diminished. The slaughter has not stopped. My brave
00:38:58.760compatriots, still holding the line with their broken bodies but unbreakable will,
00:39:04.560need your urgent help right now. Make no mistake, however, the Islamic Republic is
00:39:14.720close to collapse. Ali Khamenei and his thugs know this. That's why they are
00:39:21.740lashing out like a wounded animal, desperate to cling to power. The people
00:39:29.540have not retreated. Their determination has made one thing clear. They are not
00:39:35.540merely rejecting this regime, they are demanding a credible new path forward.
00:39:42.400they have called for me to lead the bond between me and the Iranian people is not
00:39:50.160new it's been with me since birth and it cannot be broken even in exile I pledged
00:40:00.620my life to the service of the Iranian nation.
00:40:30.620Streets are burning, voices rise, peaceful hands beneath the skies, police in black, they draw the line, base of G.I.R.G.C. crossing every sign.
00:55:33.860Let me tell you a story about a lion that came from the mountains.
00:55:46.260These mountains right behind you are lying.
00:55:50.400The lion of freedom can only roam free and strong.
00:55:53.020But one day, some 47 years ago, liberal socialists had different plans.
00:55:57.380Free health care and free speech was not good enough for them.
00:56:00.620The same lie you can see today in New York.
00:56:03.060they wanted everything for free believing a bloodthirsty vulture is better than a majestic lion
00:56:10.020the vulture placed his claws on the koran swearing he was god sent both liberal socialists and
00:56:14.900religion fanatics joined forces believed he's the messiah the vulture promised them prosperity but
00:56:20.020instead took their dignity stole all their resources to sponsor terror and disconnected
00:56:24.660them from the world living our nation poor isolated and thirsty for water but now our
00:56:28.980lion is back and he's bringing help with him while history repeats itself in new york and minnesota

00:58:24.140Put your hearts together for the return of the lion, the Shah of Iran.
00:58:29.920The future is ours. Together we rise, reaching for the stars.
00:58:37.460To all of our friends around the world, under the yoke of the Islamic Republic,
00:58:48.120Iran is identified in your minds with terrorism, extremism, and poverty.
00:58:54.620The real Iran is a different Iran, a beautiful, peace-loving, and flourishing Iran.
00:59:03.960It is the Iran that existed before the Islamic Republic,
00:59:08.220and it is the Iran that will rise again from its ashes the day the Islamic Republic falls.
00:59:15.660So let me be clear about how a free Iran will act towards its neighbors and the world after the fall of this regime.
00:59:25.800In security and foreign policy, Iran's nuclear military program will end.
00:59:33.660Support for terrorist groups will cease immediately.
00:59:37.040A free Iran will work with regional and global partners to confront terrorism, organized crime, drug trafficking, and extremist Islamism.
00:59:50.960Iran will act as a friend and a stabilizing force in the region, and it will be a responsible partner in global security.
01:00:01.700In diplomacy, relations with the United States will be normalized and our friendship with
01:00:09.760America and her people will be restored.
01:00:14.140The State of Israel will be recognized immediately.
01:00:18.760We will pursue the expansion of the Abraham Accords into the Cyrus Accords, bringing together
01:00:24.780a free Iran, Israel and the Arab world.
01:00:29.760A new chapter will begin, grounded in mutual recognition, sovereignty, and national interest.
01:00:38.860In energy, Iran holds some of the largest oil and gas reserves in the world.
01:00:46.220A free Iran will become a reliable energy supplier to the free world.
01:32:04.300Right now, the Islamic Republic is desperately trying to show to its own followers that things are back to normal and nothing to see here, go home.
01:32:15.040And that plan, that propaganda, that information war was defeated by three things.
01:32:21.480First, the 40th day memorial of the fallen at the people's, at the Javid Nam's burial ground, at the burial ground of the fallen.
01:32:30.280Second was the response to the call to action of the Princes of Pahlavi,
01:32:34.060where Iranian people came out at night and chanted against the regime for Pahlavi
01:32:39.180at their rooftops and by opening the windows.
01:32:42.660And third, now by the reopening of the universities,
01:32:45.980we see the university students coming out and crossing all the regime's red lines,
01:32:53.640bringing the lion and sun flag, calling for Pahlavi,
01:32:56.600and getting even more radical against the Islamic Republic
01:32:59.880as if the Islamic Republic had not just done the greatest massacre in their history upon the Iranian people
01:37:11.800can we can i um mention the the point that you added here like can i add that or just read
01:37:17.320through okay so guys the goldie cried at this part because i i think i'm let me like she could
01:37:24.440correct me if i'm wrong but um muhammad reza shah our shot uh you know the father of princes of
01:37:33.260he died with the feeling like we feel like we betrayed him after all of the services and
01:37:41.820everything he did for iran there was a revolution and he left iran with the narrative in iran being
01:37:51.020dominant that he was evil and he wronged the iranian people even though he was the kindest
01:37:57.020king we ever had in our history i mean i don't know if you guys agree with me but i think
01:38:01.420And I think for all the kings that Iran has had, Muhammad Reza Shah was the kindest and the most obsessed with improving the lives of Iranians.
01:38:13.660And for that dedication and for that kindness, all he received was for him to be driven away from his country, for him to die outside of Iran, which is such a shame.
01:38:31.540and for him to die not seeing that one day the Iranian people will call his name again
01:38:39.380and be ashamed of how they treated him, the way that he was treated at the end of his life.
01:38:49.380So there's a huge sense of guilt inside Iran regarding us, what we did to the king
01:38:57.700that was so obsessed with improving our lives, right?
01:39:01.540And what he's seeing, what Princesa Pallavi is saying here is that the Iranian people, they are judging his father positively now for his service.
01:39:19.620Goldie, let me know if this is what your understanding is.
01:43:05.400So Muhammad Raza Shah, during a ceremony, he went to the tomb of King Cyrus the Great and in there, in his speech, he said something that has been one of the most famous parts of his speech.
02:01:37.780Because in the United States, it's not just about your popularity as a president.
02:01:43.980In the United States, the president is not a tyrant.
02:01:48.200He works with other politicians, people in his cabinet, people in Congress, senators.
02:01:57.720If President Trump's popularity goes down, it would be more difficult.
02:02:02.540it wouldn't be advantageous for their career to continue supporting his agenda.
02:02:09.700So President Trump requires his popularity to get more politicians
02:02:15.120and to continue to work with him and to push forward his agenda.
02:02:21.480So every politician has a certain amount of political capital to be able to use.
02:02:28.140If it gets below a certain point, then they have to quit something
02:02:31.960Because this is democracy, you cannot just continue doing something against the will of the people of your country, right?
02:02:38.080So, and the Islamic Republic knows this.
02:02:41.180The Islamic Republic understands that they're not going to be able to defeat the United States in the battlefield.
02:02:47.920So they're going to try to defeat the United States in the political arena by being able to put out the information that is required for people like AOC or Thomas Massey to be able to attack President Trump as soon as this war starts.
02:03:06.740And to do that, they need to censor the Iranian people, they need to shut them up while they put out their information out there, the information that they approve.
02:03:17.920So you might say, well, Armin, how could any of this would be useful if the Islamic Republic should send the Internet, even with this guideline from the CIA, nobody was going to be able to send information out there.
02:03:31.460Well, this is exactly why President Trump ordered for 6,000 Starlink equipment, basically devices, to be smuggled into Iran right when the revolution started, right?
02:03:48.980So a lot of people thought that President Trump is not doing anything, and he forgot the Iranian people.
02:03:53.400Later, we had reports that actually they smuggled in 6,000 Starlink devices.
02:03:58.880So the CIA is trying to open another way to keep communication with the Iranian people so that this plan of the Islamic Republic, this is my interpretation, that the war is about to start.
02:04:13.200CIA is getting ready to make the Iranian people the CIA's eyes and ears so that the Islamic Republic is not able to win the information war.
02:04:27.060Because they're not going to be able to win the military war, but they might be able to win the information war because there are a lot of anti-Trump politicians in America that the Islamic Republic can feed.
02:04:39.560And also please understand that from the perspective of the Islamic Republic, this is actually more ideal than no attack at all.
02:04:48.120So if you give the Islamic Republic a chance between these three options, America not attacking, one, option one.
02:04:57.380Two, America attacking and the Islamic Republic being toppled.
02:05:01.620And three, America attacking, but the Islamic Republic surviving this,
02:05:06.360get a lot of damage, a lot of cost, but no toppling.
02:05:09.600Which one of these three options do you think the Islamic Republic prefers the most?
02:05:14.400You might think that a lot of people might think that,
02:05:16.880oh, well, they obviously prefer number one,
02:05:19.360because even if they don't get toppled,
02:05:22.940it's going to be very costly for them to go through a war.
02:05:26.720But actually, they prefer option number three.
02:05:28.860They will see this as a boost to their standing among their own followers.
02:05:34.840If the United States attacks and they survive it, this is the best gift to them
02:05:41.720because their number one fear when it comes to being toppled is losing their base support.
02:05:47.680If the only superpower on this planet attacks them and they survive it,
02:05:54.340this would give them the boost that they were desperate for for for like a boost that they
02:05:59.820could their propaganda would have never ever been able to achieve so this is why the islamic republic
02:06:05.620says okay we're not going to negotiate let's go to war trump is going to president trump is going
02:06:10.380to start a war we're not going to be able to defeat them in the battlefield but the political
02:06:14.040cost will make him have to stop midway without us being toppled so this is why you guys you guys
02:06:21.000are part of this war this is why every single one of you is a soldier in this
02:06:25.860battle because this is not a minute this is not just a military battle this is
02:06:30.560information war that we're dealing with so as soon as the war starts every
02:06:36.060single one of you needs to enter this battlefield it doesn't matter if you're
02:06:39.660Iranian or if you're not Iranian it doesn't matter this is a battle for the
02:06:45.320planet this is not a battle for just Iran this is the battle for getting rid
02:06:50.040of an evil that is that has the entire planet at its target and every single one of you
02:06:56.600is a soldier in this battle and your media your your social media accounts is your weapon and it
02:07:04.200doesn't really matter if you don't have that much of a following because it adds up it adds up
02:07:09.800especially if you are fast if you see people putting bs out there and you're the one of the
02:07:15.400first few people that responds to the bs then with a small following you could have a huge impact
02:07:22.200okay so this is guys you what we're witnessing this is the berlin wall moment of our history
02:07:27.240right now and unlike then you could actually be part of making this history from wherever
02:07:33.480you are in the world so i invite you to participate there's another thing i want to mention um armin
02:07:43.640this this uh document right this message that the cia put out right it's not just about how to
02:07:54.360safely contact the cia this is also just about how to safely go online to contact anyone right
02:08:03.120so this is this is more than just how to contact the cia the cia is laying out um step-by-step
02:08:11.520instructions on how to safely access the internet in a way that will prevent the regime from
02:08:19.820targeting you, right? Because once you access, once you use the steps provided by the CIA to
02:08:29.080access the internet, you can go on any website safely and securely, right? So it's not just
02:08:34.460cia so so they've also put out um a blueprint for for iranians on how to just safely access
02:08:41.740the internet and i think that's that's really important as well um and so like you know people
02:08:48.540i hope iranians get that message as well right because these steps aren't just for going on
02:08:53.100the cia website it's just accessing the internet in general that's a very actually good point i
03:04:51.200You can't even say that about Iraq, and Iraq was more sophisticated than Afghanistan.
03:04:54.920I do think it's a different situation.
03:04:56.540It's like, if you're going to talk about the prospect of nation building, ironically, this is probably a good opportunity that we can't possibly take, given how bad our experience was previously.
03:05:10.280you know previously but i just think i think it's worth assuming that the majority of the
03:05:17.800iranian people want something like a secular democracy or something you know something that
03:05:24.600would be recognizably secular and democratic i honestly think you're wrong by the way sam harris
03:05:29.800is saying this while he's like as you guys know he's not at all a fan of president trump and he
03:05:36.360is saying that so this coming from somebody who's not a fan of president trump uh shows you like how
03:05:42.700people are realizing that this is not going to be the same thing as um iraq or afghanistan um i don't
03:05:49.220know what this is i'm just watching it with you guys for the first time it's a lot of it's a lot
03:05:52.900of push push oh okay i'm not gonna play it then um okay now i'm just gonna play this
03:19:14.920I have recently published a book in which I elaborate on some of these subjects, but
03:19:23.920I will tell you now that either we started a little too late the liberalization program,
03:19:36.920or we started a little too early and too fast.
03:19:43.920Either we should have started it in 1973 instead of 75 or 6, or at a time of crisis, when we were seeing that things were moving in the direction of complete chaos and ennequing,
03:20:04.920Then to take our time, first to re-establish law, order, and the execution of rule, implementation
03:20:23.340of rule, and then start to liberalize again.
03:20:30.880It's one of those two things, but I was following my inner instincts.
03:20:39.720How do you think future generations of Iranians will view your 37 years?
03:20:50.280If the truth and the reality of history could not be kept always in the shadows, that is impossible.
03:21:01.280Truth will come out, in any case, sooner or later.
03:21:09.280And at that point, in 50 years' time, how will future Iranians judge you?
03:21:16.280Fifty years, I thought it would be sooner than that.
03:21:21.280Well, I was saying, how will your people, after a period, judge you?
03:21:29.280Well, if they read history, they will see what it was before my father, what it was when I took over, and what it was when I left.
03:21:41.280Do you feel that your people let you down or that you let your people down?
03:21:53.280First of all, when we say the people, we cannot talk about all the people.
03:35:33.680Listen, I just want to say, this doesn't mean that I like John Bolton. Guys, I don't like John Bolton. I don't like him. I don't like anything about him. But I'm not going to attack someone. Like, if I'm going to criticize someone, I'll criticize them for what they say, right?
03:35:50.780So even though I dislike him, he didn't say anything inappropriate here.
03:35:56.560So there's nothing for me to criticize.
03:35:59.340And, you know, my personal opinion is my personal opinion.
03:36:02.020And that's separate from, you know, what he says.
03:36:07.480Would you think that the United States will attack Iran this week?
03:36:13.860My bet is that at a minimum, Trump has to vindicate that red line.
03:36:19.100otherwise he loses credibility and it's very much in trump's character to have a pretty significant
03:36:24.380strike but a one and done affair and say that's it i declare victory and now we're going home as
03:36:30.060he's fully capable of doing that john borden thank you very much indeed for joining me i appreciate

03:37:45.180Turning now to my panel is the founder and CEO of the Young Turks, Cenk Uygur, the Iranian-American
03:37:52.380attorney and activist, Elika Le Bon, and former Canadian lawmaker and Iran activist, Goldie
03:37:57.820Gamari. And Dave Smith will be joining us shortly. So welcome to all of you. Elika Le Bon,
03:38:05.340looks increasingly... Well, welcome back to Uncensored, first of all.
03:42:52.180sorry sorry guys i had to uh i had to deal with the delivery okay let's continue get
03:43:21.860out of here. Nonsense. So look, for the folks on here who are Iranian, there are plenty of
03:43:27.400Persians who say, yeah, we hate this current government. I don't blame them for that. I have
03:43:32.640great sympathy for them in that regard. But you could say, hey, the Iranian people would like
03:43:38.660this. Trust me, bro. Maybe, maybe. The Israelis can say, we demand another war in the Middle East
03:43:44.680on our behalf. Iran is four times the size of Iraq. And that one costs you a couple of trillion
03:43:49.780dollars and hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives but we demand that america listen to
03:43:54.880our orders again and that's exactly what they're doing or we can listen to the american people
03:43:59.280how is this a difficult choice you've started a poll where 70 percent of americans said we don't
03:44:04.260want this there's another poll out that says 85 so if we were having a panel here that was
03:44:09.280representative of the american people it would be at least eight people saying no don't go in it has
03:44:14.280nothing to do with us and two people going yeah we need it for iran and one person for iran one
03:44:19.120person going, we need it for Israel. So we don't need it at all. It's going to be an epic disaster
03:44:23.980if we get in. Unfortunately, the president's a bit of a child. So the Israelis lead them around
03:44:28.280by the nose, attack their sights. No, get their uranium. No, get their ballistic missiles. No,
03:44:33.560make sure they don't support the proxy groups. Constantly pushing and pushing the American
03:44:39.100people into their stupid, endless wars where we waste so many lives and the entire American
03:44:46.040treasure. We did $8 trillion on the global war on Israel's enemies. Enough. Serve America. Going
03:44:52.700into this war would be absolute madness, and it would turn into disaster. On behalf of the American
03:44:57.960people, I say loudly, no. Okay, Goldie Gamara, you fled Iran as a toddler. So no one is more
03:45:08.060personally invested in its future than somebody like you. What is your response to Cenk Uge?
03:45:13.440i mean this whole jews control the world trope is just becoming very old oh yeah um this is
03:45:22.960please don't interrupt me chenk i let you spout your jihadi propaganda i don't have the time or
03:45:28.560patience to deal with your nonsense all right you know what um pierce i actually just sent you a
03:45:35.600clip of the islamic regime state tv airing your interview from last time where they are defending
03:45:43.440Chenk, and they're attacking me. I just sent that clip to your producers. So, you know,
03:45:49.420you have to ask yourself, when you have the Islamic regime defending the arguments of someone
03:45:55.540like Chenk, it makes you wonder, is Chenk working for the regime? Or is he being a useful idiot for
03:46:01.720them? All I'm saying is that, you know, these anti-Semitic tropes, no one's buying them anymore.
03:46:08.260Ultimately, the Iranian people have made it very clear what they want.
03:46:12.300And as you can see, the fact that even I'm speaking is threatening Cenk so much that he feels the need to laugh and interrupt.
03:46:19.440But, you know, I do not listen to the words or I don't even want to legitimize the words of anyone who is being defended by the Islamic regime.
03:46:31.220Because you don't go on the Islamic regime state TV unless you're basically sanctioned by Khomeini.
03:46:36.120So it's very strange to me that someone who claims that they're America first is being defended by the Islamic regime.
03:46:44.180Well, to be clear, I don't think Cenk has gone on Iranian state TV.
03:51:18.800Elica, I can see you frowning there, Elica. What's your response today, Smith?
03:51:24.040First of all, you know, the idea that Israel wants this war and therefore that negates everything else in the universe
03:51:29.260just proves that this anti-Zionist ideology makes Israel the sun around which they orbit.
03:51:36.140And when they orbit Israel like the sun, nothing else exists to them anymore. It is perfectly
03:51:40.960possible for multiple people to align in a shared goal. Of course, Israel wants this war. Why would
03:51:47.400Israel not want to take out a regime that has been terrorizing them through their proxies,
03:51:52.880not just for the past two years, but for the past decades? Of course, it is in Israel's interest,
03:51:57.920as it should be, because why wouldn't you want a terrorist state that has an eschatological vision
03:52:04.520of eliminating you for justice to arrive on earth to be eliminated, okay? Yes, we all understand it
03:52:10.680is Israel's goal, and good for them that it's their goal, okay? Second of all, the Iranian people also
03:52:16.040have their own sovereignty, their own national interests in mind, and those are aligned goals.
03:52:21.400Now, it isn't just the Iranian people. It isn't just the Israeli people. If you do not eliminate
03:52:26.560the Islamic regime, you end up in a forever war that ultimately implicates the US. And so if you
03:52:32.760don't want war, you take out this regime. You said you could do diplomacy with the regime all of
03:52:38.880these years. You tried to do the JCPOA. You tried to do this Obama-style diplomacy. And then what
03:52:44.380happened down the line? Their proxies just kept getting stronger. They continued to do their
03:52:48.800attacks all over the Middle East. They did October 7th. And what happened when October 7th happened
03:52:53.300was that Israel had to go to war with Hamas, and guess what? The US had to be implicated to defend
03:52:58.620its ally. So if you don't want a forever war, forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and
03:53:03.640ever, you have to eliminate the source of the forever war. You have to eliminate the people
03:53:09.540who make war inevitable. Israel has only ever responded to the acts of the regime and
03:53:17.300Nazis. And to go even further, it was actually very popular at the time to say no to war with
03:53:25.620Germany, to say no to war with the Nazis. But guess what? All of those deaths that ensued,
03:53:30.900those were deaths that were made inevitable by the Nazis because they were relentless.
03:53:36.400You had the peace for our time, the Munich Agreement, where everyone was like, finally,
03:53:40.080we're going to have peace. Then they invaded Poland. And you can see these people who are
03:53:43.640ideological extremists will always inevitably pull the entire world into war. So if you are
03:53:49.260anti-war, fantastic. Let's eliminate this regime so there's no more wars and no more threats to
03:53:54.540the United States and the rest of the world. Okay, let me just take a short break from the
03:53:59.800panel. I'll come back to you in a moment. I want to just move now because Dave Smith referenced
03:54:03.580the infamous list which held that Iran was always the aim in the Middle East, and we're now joined
03:54:08.760by the former NATO commander, General Wesley Clark. General Clark, great to have you back on
03:54:13.200unsensitive oh thank you there was of course this uh this famous pentagon memo um which you saw
03:54:23.080shortly after 9 11 you said it described a plan to take out seven countries in five years beginning
03:54:29.260with iraq ending with iran the other countries were syria lebanon libya somalia and sudan you
03:54:37.480know, some will look at this and say, well, this is the fruition of the plan. And Iran is the last
03:54:43.420one standing. Lebanon, of course, a bit more complicated, but the others have all gone through
03:54:48.920regime change. What would you say to people that think that? Well, I'd say that it's, that was over
03:54:56.10020 years ago that that memo was written. And the US government doesn't really have plans that extend
03:55:02.060that far. So it wasn't really a plan. That was a concept that came out of the neocons.
03:55:08.460And maybe it was a plan that they thought they could eliminate all those regimes that might be
03:55:13.900hostile to the United States in the region. But it never really resolved itself into a plan,
03:55:21.340per se. It just happens. And when you are a country like the United States and you find
03:55:29.660opponents around the world and and particularly iran calling us the great satan and so forth you
03:55:36.540know iran's been on the war path against the united states from the very beginning they
03:55:42.540targeted the marine barracks in lebanon killed 283 people with a truck mounted bomb it was a
03:55:49.100terrible tragedy they went after the french embassy we actually in the united states we
03:55:57.420held back the Shah in Iran. We sent a four-star general to Iran in 1978 to tell the Iranian
03:56:06.620generals, don't interfere with the emergence of real democracy in Iran. And so they blocked the
03:56:14.140Iranian military that was loyal to the Shah from keeping the Shah in power. We actually helped
03:56:20.700Khomeini get to power. Now, we didn't intend that. We thought a man named Shapur Bakhtiar was going
03:56:28.220to take the reins, but he was quickly overthrown by the fundamentalists like Khomeini. But the point
03:56:38.220is that the United States didn't begin this fight with Iran. Iran decided, Khomeini decided,
03:56:47.980to purify his regime, to have a moral purpose in life. And for the Iranian people, he wanted to go
03:56:55.640after enemies. And so he picked two enemies, Israel and the United States. So the fact that
03:57:01.840after 40 some odd years, we're turning now to Iran and people are talking about regime change.
03:57:08.180Yeah, it's sort of a natural course of events. General Clark, from a purely military perspective,
03:57:14.840The sheer size and scale of the American military buildup here around Iran is reminiscent of 2003 and the buildup before they went into Iraq.
03:57:25.840Is there a point where, as someone put it to me back in 2003, the American military train has left the station?
03:57:34.100In other words, it reaches the point when it has to do something.
04:06:50.280Now, you want to hear what I say? Listen, first of all, there is no they there. We've been through the Bush administration. There were neocons. We've been through the Obama administration. There were no neocons there. We've been through the Trump administration. He didn't want a war. We've been through the Biden administration.
04:07:13.440Now we're another Trump administration.
04:07:16.460When you say they, there's no they there.
04:07:42.560And I'm going to say it not just to you, but all the other panelists. So there's no they there. This is about national interests. And you can go through these states one by one. First of all, I was against the invasion of Iraq.
04:07:56.840I knew it was a mistake and it wasn't going to work out well. I was against it. But it's the men
04:08:03.480and women in uniform. Of course, you're not against your own soldiers fighting. You want them to
04:08:08.300succeed. But the mission was a bad mission, and I called it for that. Syria, there was a revolution
04:08:14.740there. President Obama said Bashar Assad shouldn't stay in charge. But unfortunately, he did until
04:08:22.960Turkey got rid of him. On Libya, I warned the United States not to intervene because there was
04:08:29.600no follow-on for that, and we've still got a mess in Libya. We've never been able to come to terms
04:08:36.000with Darfur, Sudan, and what's happening in the center of Africa. Now, when you turn to Iran,
04:08:43.240Iran has been a continuous problem for the United States. They killed hundreds of our soldiers with
04:08:49.620the explosively formed penetrators, when we were in Iraq. They started this thing back in the late
04:08:57.2001970s, early 80s. They assassinated a bunch of Iranian generals because they'd been to school
04:09:04.020in the United States. So what's their beef with the United States? They want trouble from the
04:09:11.240United States. That's their raison d'etre. That's what keeps the—you can shake your head,
04:09:18.180but I'm telling you, look at the propaganda. So is Israel concerned? Of course, Israel should be
04:09:25.480concerned. As the Ayatollah has said, and others, when they get nuclear weapons, they're going to
04:09:31.100use them. Now, I've been all through the Gulf leadership. Maybe you've talked to those leaders
04:09:36.100too, but I have, and they don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. They can't do much about it,
04:09:41.940But they hope that we will. And unfortunately, the agreement that we thought we solved it with in 2015 was thrown out in 2018. And I agree that that agreement wasn't a great agreement. It didn't stop their ballistic missiles. And it didn't stop their axis of resistance. It didn't deal with Hezbollah. But it was an agreement.
04:10:05.680Now, we don't have anything, and so we're on the precipice of another set of military strikes in the region.
04:10:13.200Is that a good thing? No. No, it's not a good thing.
04:10:16.580It'd be a lot better if Iran would simply become a normal state, engage in trade, work with its neighbors,
04:10:23.620stop trying to take over the region, stop threatening Israel.
04:10:28.080But Iran doesn't seem, under its present regime, to want to do that.
04:29:56.000What I'd say is that when you start dropping bombs on nations and it's easier to start a war, it's not easy to finish it.
04:30:05.420So we don't know what's going to happen when it gets going.
04:30:09.320So there's going to be a lot of judgment calls between now and then.
04:30:12.860And we're just going to have to see how they go.
04:30:14.680But I will say this, that there has been a continuum of American interest to see a peaceful Middle East and that Iran has been the troublemaker in that Middle East since the overthrow of the Shah.
04:30:29.160And secondly, that in terms of Israel itself, I was there when Israel pulled back out of southern Lebanon.
04:30:38.200Some people said, you're making a mistake.
04:30:40.680Barack said, nope, we're going to do it.
04:56:29.720you're i don't know the numbers you don't know i do know that a hundred roughly a hundred
04:56:36.520officers of the law have been murdered you know how many people you believe have been killed on
04:56:41.320the regime side but you have no idea how many people the regime's killed you interesting you
04:56:47.720don't want me to talk because you're afraid because you're afraid that i'm going to wreck your
04:56:53.480your narrative that's cowardly pierce i think what you're afraid of this uprising this time
04:57:00.420being the one that actually topples the regime that you prop up you want to you want to help
04:57:06.340that just like you were preparing as the israeli regime carried out its blitzkrieg attack on iran
04:57:12.840when iran was negotiating you were saying all sorts of nonsense about iran to demonize the
04:57:18.340country to justify the aggression and the slaughter. So you have blood on your hands.
04:57:23.460And this is what you're doing now today for Trump. The protesters on the streets across the
04:57:29.220country yesterday said a big no to you and your fake narratives. But people like you will just
04:57:35.940go out and say, this is fake. There was no demonstration. Whereas there were reporters in
04:57:42.080Iran. Al Jazeera was there. Many other people were there. You had Iranians across the board there. It
04:57:49.080was shown live on television, Pierce. It was shown on Iranian channels live. You can go,
04:57:55.740your producers can go back and look at the footage online as it was being shown. You cannot pretend
04:58:01.680that millions of people were not on the streets in Tehran. You cannot pretend that simultaneously
04:58:06.600millions of people were not on the streets throughout the country it's a fact it was on
04:58:11.980it was shown live throughout it was i'm not sure professor i'm all due respect i'm not sure that
04:58:18.160you and facts are easy bedfellows uh but i appreciate your problem here not really you're
04:58:23.920the one actually it may be a problem for you you're the one you're the one who denied the
04:58:29.720genocide in gaza for a year and a half and you try to justify the actions of the israeli regime
04:58:36.260for a year and a half. So guys, do you see the pattern here? Do you see how like
04:58:41.440both like Chad Andy, Matt Andy, and then Chunky Yogurt and like Dave Smith,
04:58:48.320their go-to is always, oh, the Gaza genocide, Israel, right? Do you see like the Islamist
04:58:55.220jihadi narrative is always the same. Doesn't matter if they're in Iran. Doesn't matter if
04:59:00.760they're like, you know, a Turkish infiltrator, Islamic jihadi who's infiltrated the United
04:59:06.120States, doesn't matter if it's like some idiotic, self-hating Jew, right? They always, always go
04:59:11.400back to the, oh, what about Gaza? Right? Like, it's just, it's a thing. It's a thing. And when
04:59:18.900you know what to look for, it's literally the same narrative amongst all of the jihadis. And
04:59:25.700by the way, by the way, he's talking about this while, while at that very moment,
04:59:32.960in the last two three days over 40 000 iranians have been murdered by the islamic regime
04:59:39.860right in those two three days more innocent iranians were murdered by the islamic regime
04:59:45.860than the entirety of civilian casualties in gaza in two years and those civilian casualties were
04:59:54.820because of hamas right this is how like these people are and let me be very clear that
05:00:02.820if the united states if trump carries out an attack on iran iranian retaliation will be massive
05:00:10.260and people like it was after the strike last summer people like to you you said this last
05:00:15.140time you said this last time you will bear responsibility but this is the trouble you're
05:00:19.620full of crap aren't you because you said this last time do you remember it was all gonna happen last
05:00:24.180time when steve last time steve bannon the day after the war ended on his show said that
05:00:32.820The reality was that during the last three, four days of the war, the Israeli regime was in serious trouble, and they were begging for a ceasefire.
05:00:42.120But what happened to the retaliation that you said would happen?
05:00:45.080And Trump, because the Israeli regime was begging for a ceasefire, did you see Tel Aviv? Did you see how we hammered Tel Aviv?
05:26:16.440I was horrified at the way that Chunky Yogurt was speaking to a four-star general
05:26:23.720who's literally dedicated his entire life to serving in the military.
05:26:28.680Guys, what you're witnessing here is Iranian people's respect
05:26:33.740for somebody who has served in the army.
05:26:36.660so like goldie like she wouldn't react like this if chunky yogurt was responding like that talking
05:26:42.820like that to somebody else so this is what a lot of people might not understand because iranian
05:26:47.700people like they respect people who have dedicated their life to serve their country
05:26:52.420they think that they believe that these are people that were worthy of respect
05:26:56.580and uh and this is why goldie is so shocked when seeing chunky yogurt just going at him like that
05:27:02.260It's also the same reason, Ahmed. It's also the same reason during like the global day of solidarity, like all the Iranians were giving flowers and chocolates to the police officers, right? Because we respect, we respect our, you know, first responders, we respect police, we respect people who serve their country, like that's a big deal for us, right? So we have a lot of respect for people who put their lives on the line to serve the country. So that's why this is like, this is so shocking for all of us.
05:27:32.260and look goldie isn't even american and and chunky yogurt is supposed to be american and he's just
05:27:37.940he's that's how he's treating the people who served his country and goldie who's not even
05:27:42.900american is feeling like embarr like second hand embarrassment on his behalf watching him do this
05:27:49.220yeah so be a patriot oh my god this is like i want to punch something god damn it you're
05:28:01.140you're telling this man a forestall general to be a patriot as somebody who stands against every
05:28:08.500single american value is out there you're telling this man to be a patriot this is like oh my god
05:28:14.900that's insane not for israel can we have some respect for the general please this isn't about
05:28:21.420what the facts are this is about how you are looking at the facts and this isn't no no we
05:28:26.440don't interrupt you're not my teacher yep you're you're not my teacher well she should be because
05:28:34.880your teachers failed you as we speak the united states is assembling a formidable arsenal of
05:28:43.560warships and aircraft in the middle east it's the biggest military build-up in that region
05:28:48.180since the invasion of iraq in 2003 a lot of the talking points are very familiar too iraq wants
05:28:54.700build long-range missiles which could strike the continental United States. Iran is governed by
05:28:59.660fanatics who butcher their own people. They hate us, they're misogynists, and they don't share our
05:29:05.260values. All of these things, as far as I can see, are true, but do they justify a United States war
05:29:11.820which currently looks inevitable and may even have begun by the time we air this debate?
05:29:17.260There are big practical questions which haven't been answered. Is the US planning a surgical
05:29:21.900strike against specific facilities or powerful men or is there something more decisive and risky
05:29:27.420as the military build-up implies is the aim to bully this regime in negotiations or is it to
05:29:33.680change the regime altogether protesters are calling for the return of reza pahlavi as monarch but the
05:29:39.920monarchists don't have the guns correct okay not you know you know we the monarch part will be
05:29:47.300decided later but okay who is really going to govern a new iran and the biggest question being
05:29:52.960asked in the united states is simply well why are we doing this seven in ten americans don't
05:29:59.000support i'm saying that as somebody who would vote for monarchy myself
05:30:02.540order war with iran many sympathize with the plight of the iranian people but as with ukraine
05:30:07.640or nothing to do with the conflict happening thousands of miles away and many others are
05:30:12.560making the case that the united states is again doing israel's bidding i'll be joined by a panel
05:30:17.740to debate all this shortly but we start with the former national security advisor john bolton
05:30:22.620john bolton welcome back to uncensored um it would be something here yeah yeah i know john
05:30:30.040bolton is like a paid by mek or whatever um but yeah but um the reason that i didn't even like
05:30:38.760bring up john bolton yesterday or even like today like i haven't commented on him it's because like
05:30:43.820so when he first came on like i was backstage right and i was watching all of this and at
05:30:47.920first i freaked out i was like oh my gosh what is it like is he gonna spout like mek propaganda
05:30:51.860but john bolton for some reason was on his best behavior so yeah so he he he says the right things
05:31:01.100here and he doesn't even mention the mek or anything like that so yeah i wonder if he still
05:31:06.260supports the mek or not because i haven't heard him support the mek for like a couple of years now
05:31:12.340i wonder if he has quit doing that or not but what do you think i don't know i have no idea but uh
05:31:19.380but i was still like i was like i was on guard here and thankfully he didn't say anything
05:31:24.900inappropriate i just asked gemini and according i mean according to gemini as of early 2026
05:31:32.580john balton remains one of the most prominent and vocal supporters of the mek okay i don't know if
05:31:38.660this is okay but anyways he's whatever if somebody's saying the right point we're just gonna
05:31:45.060point uh we're just gonna say well he's saying yeah that's why i'm not even like credit like
05:31:49.860that's why i didn't comment on him publicly because i don't even want to like give his name any extra
05:31:54.260like, you know, publicity, let's say. Okay. Right. Do you think to launch a full attack on Iran?
05:32:04.740Well, I don't think anybody's contemplating American boots on the ground. I think we're
05:32:08.820talking about some kind of air attack. I think we have for too long ignored the Iranian opposition.
05:32:15.220We haven't coordinated with them. But I also believe at this moment that the regime in Tehran
05:32:20.740is at its weakest point since it took power in 1979. And I think there is no chance for peace
05:32:29.180and stability in the Middle East, or really because of the nuclear and terrorist threats
05:32:34.040that the regime poses around the world until it goes. So my position would be that we are entitled
05:32:41.120to and should use enough force to help destabilize the regime and get the opposition into power.
05:32:48.000But we saw recently in Venezuela the removal of Maduro, which was a very surgically precise
05:32:56.920military operation, which involved no American loss of life, and he was taken to a United States
05:33:03.840federal prison. This is very different and much more complicated. To get in anywhere near where,
05:33:11.500for argument's sake the ayatollaries or the senior regime leaders in iran is not going to be anything
05:33:18.340like it was with maduro and venezuela is it no no it won't i don't think it just respond to the
05:33:24.980super chat uh somebody's saying of course 70 percent of americans do not support war i worry
05:33:31.120about the 30 30 percent that do support war nobody in the right mind wants war but war wars get
05:33:38.120things settled when nothing else does it's necessary the way i like to actually say it
05:33:44.040by the way thank you for the super chat but the way i want to say it is that your america is
05:33:48.200already in war you're already in war you you have been in war with the islamic republic since 1979
05:33:57.880khomeini declared war on america for for with the goal of ending america in 1979.
05:37:08.040Comparing this to Saddam doesn't make any sense because, yes, it's true that we didn't have any confirmed information that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction.
05:37:16.860But the fact that the Islamic Republic is and was enriching uranium outside of the areas where the IAEA was observing and monitoring has already been confirmed, not just by the United States, but by the IAEA itself.
05:37:38.020The fact that the Islamic Republic was enriching uranium to get nuclear bombs, even when the JCPOA was in effect, is a confirmed fact.
05:37:54.020And you don't need to listen to Israel. You don't need to listen to the United States. You could just listen to the IAEA itself.
05:38:00.020IAEA itself, they have already confirmed that this was the case, that they were always cheating.
05:38:06.700And the only reason why they were doing this is to getting, I mean, the IAEA doesn't say
05:38:11.320that they were doing this to get to a nuclear bomb, but there is no other reason. This has
05:38:15.900been already confirmed by the IAEA. So don't trust America, don't trust Israel. You think
05:38:21.700this is a repeat of what happened with Saddam? How could it be a repeat of what happened
05:38:25.960with Saddam, if the weapons of mass destruction, that ended up not being true, but you don't
05:38:33.440have to wait for us to prove to you that the Islamic Republic, unlike Saddam, is getting
05:41:59.980the fall of saddam wouldn't have been this chaotic if after the military did its job perfectly
05:42:07.660when it comes to removing saddam we like you lost so many american lives not with the removal of
05:42:14.400saddam but what it came after because of the removal of the bath party and anybody that was
05:42:21.400even mildly associated with it that caused the power vacuum that caused the chaos that came after
05:42:28.580the removal of saddam didn't need to be this chaotic the debathification after the removal
05:42:34.740of saddam was called was what is what caused the chaos so i mean all you have to do is not
05:42:41.260repeat the same mistake as of isis uh and everything that followed from there uh and
05:42:47.540was pretty much a catastrophe you were one of the leading lights at the time saying we should do
05:42:52.580that does that not give you pause for thought now with yeah and also another point is that iraq is
05:42:58.160not as like a it's a frankenstein of a country it's not united like it doesn't have the ancient
05:43:05.280bonds it doesn't it doesn't have the cultural unity it doesn't have the nationalism the national
05:43:11.600the patriot the patriotism of the iranian people it doesn't have that united bond it doesn't have
05:43:17.920so 90 million iranians dedicated to rebuilding iran as one entity it doesn't have that iran does
05:43:26.480have that. Iran? Well, I think you have to look at each circumstance on its individual facts,
05:43:33.280and I think you can start with Iraq, or you could go back a little bit further. In World War II,
05:43:38.080we determined that removing Adolf Hitler and the Nazis from Germany would be a good thing,
05:43:42.400and we did it. And it turned out Germany's okay these days. So, you know, there's a lot of history
05:43:47.440here we don't have time to discuss. I think in the case of Iran, there's no regime worse than
05:43:54.320the one that's in power now uh and that what they recently did to their own citizens if you're not
05:44:00.160worried about nuclear weapons and terrorism look at how they massacred tens of thousands of their
05:44:04.800own citizens but that would be an example i would argue uh to counter your point about they've never
05:44:12.720been weaker that we've seen over the 79 when they uh took control the ayatollah's and revolutionary
05:44:20.240We've seen a number of uprisings, all of which have been quashed in similar ruthless fashion.
05:44:26.740This seemed to me to be particularly bloody, even by their standards of quashing rebellions,
05:44:33.340but didn't suggest to me that they've been as weakened as people think.
05:44:39.500Well, I think the support for the regime has disappeared across...
05:44:44.940The regime is weak. The more violence the regime uses, the weaker it shows that they are.
05:44:49.860They don't use this much violence when they're confident.
05:44:53.860They use this much violence when they're weak.
05:44:58.180Don't think the violence of the Islamic Republic is a sign of their strength.
05:45:05.340The only time when the Islamic Republic gets this violent is when they are panicking because they see that they feel like they have their backs to the wall.
05:45:15.940And what supports it really are the elements of the Revolutionary Guard and some of the conventional military, which is why the opposition, which by and large is without weapons, needs outside help.
05:45:28.660So that's why if we target the instruments of Iranian state power, those which threaten us, Israel, the Arab states, and which repress its own people, the Revolutionary Guard, the besieging militia, the nuclear and ballistic missile programs,
05:45:42.880then I think we can help convince people, even inside the regime itself, in the regular military,
05:45:49.780this is not going to end well for them. This question may have been overtaken by events when
05:45:56.020this airs, but is Donald Trump potentially playing a game of bluff here with the reign of the leadership?
05:46:02.940Has he got this huge military buildup primarily to force them to the negotiating table to
05:46:08.880unequivocally declare they will not pursue nuclear weapons?
05:46:14.500I don't think he knows what he wants to do. If you look at comments by his lead negotiator,
05:46:20.680Steve Witkoff, over the weekend, he said, we can't figure out why with all these air and
05:46:25.280naval assets, they're not ready to make a deal, which sounds like the reaction of a Manhattan
05:46:29.740real estate dealer. The fact is that that may be what Trump was hoping, but I don't think he's made
05:46:36.440a decision to strike and either to vindicate the reason what the reason they should ask me the
05:46:42.200reason why they don't make a deal even though they know uh that they're surrounded and they can't uh
05:46:49.160deal with the united states army they cannot push back against the us army the reason why they said
05:46:53.560still don't make a deal is because if they make a deal they will lose their last remaining support
05:46:59.800by the by the hardliners who their last remaining i don't know three person support that they have
05:47:05.240and they will topple even sooner red line that he drew for the ayatollahs against killing any
05:47:10.760more of their own people uh on the one hand or a strike hopefully coordinated with the opposition
05:47:17.560uh to destabilize the regime for you you should ask me i'm an expert armin people are saying
05:47:24.680there's no sound no that was from before oh that was from four okay yeah we fixed it from making
05:47:33.160decisions is very hard he likes to keep his options yeah no worries no worries yeah
05:47:39.560stabilize the regime for trump making decisions is very hard he likes to keep his options open
05:47:45.480uh he's he he he's like he's making fun of trump a little bit here i don't know if you notice
05:47:52.360and the mere fact we've put a lot of capabilities out there for trump does not necessarily mean he
05:47:58.680will use them. If you were a betting man, maybe you are a betting man, but if you were a betting
05:48:04.660man, would you think that the United States will attack Iran this week? My bet is that at a minimum,
05:48:15.120Trump has to vindicate that red line. Otherwise, he loses credibility. And it's very much in
05:48:20.460Trump's character to have a pretty significant strike, but a one and done affair and say,
05:48:24.820that's it I declare victory and now we're going home as he's fully capable of doing that
05:48:30.060okay just guys remember before this before John Bolton makes you feel lose hope regarding that
05:48:37.380even if that was the case even if Trump the President Trump said that something small and
05:48:43.500symbolic and didn't go all in the thing is that he also has given the green light to Israel to go
05:48:50.040all in so in fact even if united states didn't do anything at all and just stood there and just
05:48:57.000grabbed some popcorn and just watched israel what we like like i'm just saying the bare minimum
05:49:02.520right all we need is the american navy to be there and protect the 11 countries in the region
05:49:09.640and as long as they are being protected israel could basically do the rest
05:49:13.800john ballman thank you very much indeed for joining me i appreciate it okay so that's that's
05:49:20.660done um armin so two c's going live in about um 20 minutes so um good because i'm hungry i know

05:50:13.200i'm not gonna get into like the british royalty thing but like he despises megan markle for some
05:50:19.240reason and uh like i guess there's like a whole thing with megan markle's like oh i want to be
05:50:24.380private but then she like promotes herself or something i don't know guys i don't want to get
05:50:27.860into british royalty but i just want to explain the joke here so when he says one thing that like
05:50:32.720Meghan Markle and I have in common is privacy. That's British humor. That's sarcasm on his part.
05:50:41.520He has a lot of respect for Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family, but he just doesn't like
05:50:48.400Meghan Markle. There's some sort of beef there. I think that she's American and not British.

05:51:38.080sure we already offended a whole bunch of people i'm just saying i'm just explaining what pierce
05:51:44.320morgan means when he says that that's it okay that's incognito all right we're gonna skip this
05:55:22.820You're like, you're like a tiger looking at a buffalo, like, I'm a tiger looking at like, not a buffalo, I'm like a tiger looking at, I don't know, like a rabbit or something. I don't want to insult rabbits. Oh, a warthog. I'm a, I'm a, I'm like, no, no, no, I'm a lion. I'm a lion. And I'm looking at a warthog.
05:55:41.420When I failed in that campaign, I wish I'd been
05:56:18.360in the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight there you go okay that that was too good
05:56:29.000we're gonna get a copyright strike that was so close to a place like iraq as it turned out or
05:56:35.480now iran then it's very hard to control the sequence of events that follows i don't see this
05:56:41.640as being as clean a situation as say venezuela where you just take out maduro and everyone goes
05:56:48.020home i think this could be a real hornet's nest you know yeah so um young turks is the longest
05:56:57.020running show in online history so we were on the air during the iraq war build-up and we were one
05:57:02.400only two national shows screaming no don't do it don't listen to people like john bolton the neocons
05:57:08.720have always been wrong preposterously wrong they said uh oh iraq has weapons of mass destruction
05:57:14.480it's so dangerous we have to go in they said it was connected to 9-11 it was all lies now here
05:57:20.000comes the same yeah but the islamic republic is building weapons of mass destruction that has
05:57:24.800already been proven just because that was a that was wrong that doesn't mean this like oh that was
05:57:30.480wrong so this must also be wrong that's not how logic works just because something was wrong at
05:57:36.320some point that doesn't mean that it will always be this claim will always be wrong till the end of
05:57:40.880time like what the hell we have proof for this one we didn't have proof for that one we have proof
05:57:45.680for this one liars lying to us again also saddam never wanted to come and destroy america it was
05:57:53.760he was an enemy of america united states but he didn't have global ambitions like the islamic
05:57:58.720republic on behalf of israel and say oh my god iran is so dangerous uh uh weapons of mass destruction
05:58:05.680yeah yeah yeah that's the ticket oh yeah weapons of mass destruction yeah yeah yeah yeah they're
05:58:09.600just making it up like guys we have evidence or like we have like a mountain of evidence
05:58:16.800that islamic republic harmony and the rgc are hell-bent they're completely determined to get
05:58:24.960to a nuclear weapon like they they have they always have and they always will be like there
05:58:30.720is a mountain of evidence this is not even comparable to the weapons of mass destruction
05:58:37.280claim with saddam like go go do five minutes of research before you embarrass yourself
05:58:45.200we'll use that same bs argument and then the second argument coming from john bolton and what
05:58:50.000Okay, guys, anybody who says that, just ask them this.
05:58:54.660Why are they enriching uranium to 60% if they're not trying to get a nuclear weapon?
05:59:00.540Just tell me then why are they doing that?
05:59:02.220And also, why during the JCPOA, during the Obama deal, the IAEA has proven that they were enriching uranium in other areas beyond the areas that they agreed for being observed by the IAEA?
05:59:19.240why were they doing that why were they hiding enrichment of uranium if it was all supposed
05:59:24.700to be for peaceful means ask them that and see if they have any answers to that the ticket we'll use
05:59:29.700that same bs argument and then the second argument coming from john bolton and the israelis is
05:59:34.640hilarious we care so much about the iranian people those muslim lives mean so much to israel
05:59:41.580into the lives muslim lives like to sadish wow okay okay muslim he doesn't know anything about
05:59:53.340iran nothing he doesn't know anything yeah oh my god oh god that's why we have to bomb them and
06:00:01.020kill them get out of here nonsense so look you for the folks on here who are iranian there are plenty
06:00:07.180of uh go back for a moment arvin so do you see like so when it's like his face and then it goes
06:00:15.260back to like all of us you can see like my eyes are to the side because i'm just like like my
06:00:20.140like my expression is basically like what the f did i just hear did he just say muslim lies
06:00:25.100like go look at my face where my eyes are to the side that's like my politically correct what the
06:00:29.100f expression you for the folks on here who are iranian there are plenty of uh persians who say
06:00:36.620yeah we hate this current government i don't blame them for that i have great sympathy for them
06:00:41.260uh in that regard but you could say hey the iranian people would like this trust me bro
06:00:47.340maybe maybe the israelis can say we demand trust oh look at him he has had you know he used to
06:00:55.820laugh at this he used to laugh at this um emily schrader was on piers morgan and emily schrader
06:01:03.980told him that the Iranian people want this attack, they want military intervention.
06:01:08.940And he was like, sure, the Iranian people want to be bombed. You're so ridiculous.
06:01:16.460And Emily was looking at him like, yeah, well, they don't want to be bombed. He didn't understand
06:01:23.100the difference between the Islamic Republic and the Iranian people. He didn't understand that
06:01:26.700from the perspective of the Iranian people, the Islamic Republic being bombed doesn't mean Iran
06:01:31.740is being bummed. He didn't understand that. So he laughed at that. But now how he adjusted
06:01:36.940because he was humiliated online for not knowing that. So he tried to take a step back by saying,
06:01:46.060okay, maybe, maybe, okay, they're just going to go, trust me, bro. He's still acting. He's trying
06:01:52.780to take a step back by not making that claim because he was embarrassed and humiliated online
06:01:56.940after that but he's also still pretending like there's no evidence he's saying that this is based
06:02:03.080on a trust me bro claim even though we have ample amount of evidence to show that no the iranian
06:02:09.360people want an intervention go do you want to say something no i'm just going to say like finish
06:02:14.160like no no i'll say something when it gets to my part oh okay like this trust me bro maybe maybe
06:02:23.080the israelis can say we demand another war in the middle east on our behalf iran is four times the
06:02:29.080size of iraq and that one cost you a couple of trillion dollars and and hundreds of thousands
06:02:33.800of people lost their lives but we demand this one is not going to cost you as much because the
06:02:38.660iranian people unlike the iraqi people are pro-american so you already have the iranian
06:02:43.700people being on your side unlike in iraq that america listen to our orders again and that's
06:02:51.120exactly what they're doing. Or we can listen to the American people. How is this a difficult
06:02:55.020choice? You've started a poll where 70% of Americans said, we don't want this. There's
06:02:59.720another poll out that says 85%. So if we were having a panel here that was representative of
06:03:04.700the American people, it would be at least eight people saying, no, don't go in. It has nothing
06:03:09.340to do with us. And two people going, yeah, we need it for Iran. And one person for Iran,
06:03:13.780one person going, we need it for Israel. So we don't need it at all. It's going to be an epic
06:03:18.280disaster we get in. Unfortunately, the president is a bit of a child. So the Israelis lead them
06:03:22.840around by the nose, attack their sights. No, no, get their uranium. No, get their ballistics.
06:03:27.300He just called President Trump a child and that the Israelis lead President Trump around by the
06:03:32.380nose. He literally just disrespected and insulted the president of the United States of America.
06:03:39.140Yeah. And if he knew anything about Trump, he would know that he's not a man to just be
06:03:44.960He pushed around to do anything for the sake of other people against his own interests or the interests of, I don't know, what he thinks is fit for America.
06:03:55.780Like, imagine knowing Trump and thinking that he's just going to be like, I don't want this, but I have no choice because Israel wants this.
06:04:04.380Like, if you genuinely think that, honestly, nobody should take you seriously.
06:04:08.100You have no understanding of how President Trump thinks and operates.
06:04:12.200like um is even if you disagree with president trump um even if you're completely against him
06:04:19.240to think that he's a person that's going to be like oh i don't want this but israel wants this
06:04:23.480so i'm going to do it you're basically living in a parallel universe if you think that if you think
06:04:29.000that's how he makes decisions it's going to be an epic disaster if we get in unfortunately the
06:04:34.440president's a bit of a child so the israelis lead him around by the nose attack their son
06:04:42.200The uranium, no, get their ballistic missiles, no.
06:04:47.440Make sure they don't support the proxy groups.
06:04:50.880Constantly pushing and pushing the American people.
06:04:53.200I mean, how ungrateful you also have to be of Israel.
06:04:56.980Israel has made this job so much less costly for Israel.
06:05:00.080So Israel has already weakened the Islamic Republic to the point that they're just at
06:05:07.900the cause of regime change of removing the United States main enemy has been brought down to the
06:05:13.260minimum by Israel. So many Israelis have died and been sacrificed to kill America's enemies.
06:05:19.820And now everything is ready. It's like a low hanging fruit for the United States to just do
06:05:24.060the final push for the Islamic Republic, for the main enemy of the United States to be removed once
06:05:29.900and for all. And instead of being grateful to Israel for removing the cause of war so much,
06:05:34.460you're like oh they're controlling us i mean i mean if they were controlling you
06:05:39.020why are they killing paying the biggest price for killing your enemies into their stupid endless
06:05:46.700wars where we waste so many lives and the entire american treasure we did eight trillion dollars
06:05:53.020on the global war on israel's enemies enough serve america oh israel's enemies so they're
06:05:58.620not your enemies i don't know hezbollah is not america's enemy hamas is not america's enemies
06:06:03.980the irgc is not america's enemies like these are just the only israel's enemies they have
06:06:09.100they have they have they have they had only positive views about america if it wasn't for
06:06:13.660israel apparently get out of here going into this war would be absolute madness and it would turn
06:06:19.340into disaster on behalf of the american people i say loudly no okay goldie gamara um so armin
06:06:30.9402c is going on in like about three minutes so what i would appreciate maybe what we can do
06:06:36.540if you want play play my response um it might go a little bit longer than when 2c starts play my
06:06:44.060response don't like don't pause don't like comment just play my response and then we'll go to 2c and
06:06:49.340then when 2c is done we'll come back and then you can go back replay it and and respond okay okay
06:06:54.620okay i'm gonna mute my mic um so you no one is more personally invested in its future than
06:07:01.740somebody like you what is your response to to check you go i mean this whole jews control
06:07:10.060the world trope is just becoming very old oh yeah um this is please don't interrupt me chenk
06:07:16.940i let you spout your jihadi propaganda i don't have the time or patience to deal with your
06:07:21.260nonsense all right you know what um pierce i actually just sent you a clip of the islamic
06:07:29.100regime state tv airing your interview from last time where they are defending chenk and they're
06:07:36.300attacking me i just sent that clip to your producers so um you know you have to ask yourself
06:07:42.780when you have the islamic regime defending the arguments of someone like chenk it makes you
06:07:49.100wonder is Cenk working for the regime or is he being a useful idiot for them all I'm saying is
06:07:55.020that you know these these anti-semitic tropes no one's buying them anymore ultimately the
06:08:00.700Iranian people have made it very clear what they want um and as you can see the fact that even I'm
06:08:06.380speaking it is threatening Cenk so much that he feels the need to laugh and interrupt but you know
06:08:12.300i i i do not um listen to the words or i don't even like want to legitimize the words of anyone
06:08:20.300who is being defended by the islamic regime because you don't go on the islamic regime
06:08:24.540state tv unless you're basically sanctioned by hominy so it's very strange to me that someone
06:08:29.900who claims that they're america first is being defended by the islamic regime well to be clear
06:08:36.780I don't think Cenk has gone on Iranian state TV. They've used a clip of him, right?
06:08:42.540Exactly. They used a clip of him to defend his arguments about how Israel is behind everything.
06:08:48.820So again, when your arguments line up with the brutal dictatorship, when the Islamic regime is basically relying on the arguments of someone like Cenk Uygur, especially with these anti-Semitic tropes, I think it just goes to show how strange the situation is.
06:09:04.640okay let me bring in day smith uh welcome back to what you think oh my god he's so threatened by you
06:09:16.400he's so threatened by you that's why he has to keep he has to keep interrupting you you destroyed him
06:09:23.200and also he's so stupid hey like we could play a clip of you doesn't mean we agree with you
06:09:29.280yeah but if you play it okay i'll tell you later just finish your thought finish your thought
06:09:34.320like what are you talking about you don't understand what goldie is saying and like if we
06:09:39.040if we play a clip of her doesn't mean we agree with her you you i'm trying to swear you freaking
06:09:44.160idiot if you played a clip on of her and defending while defending her and as a way to show agreement
06:09:52.720with her then yes you would be in agreement with her goldie's point is not that they just showed
06:09:58.320the clip of you goldiest point is that they show the clip on you of you in agreement with you you
06:10:04.080goddamn idiot how do you not understand that how is this guy an analyst analyst i don't understand

06:10:14.860but let's go to 2c we'll eat some dinner we'll come back because armin it gets even spicier than
06:10:19.760that that's just the beginning see you soon
06:10:28.320Welcome to Tusi TV. This is your global news channel, Amaya Tusi, and we are having a big night and a huge week for the Iranian people.
06:10:41.660Over the last few hours, tanks and armored vehicles have been deployed on the streets of the country in Iran.
06:10:49.460and later tonight president trump will be making his state of the union speech and he is expected
06:10:56.600to unveil some of his plans for iran of course we will try to cover this live on 2ctv at the state
06:11:04.400of union and we and of course we'll get your reaction live as well and there's been a number
06:11:09.320of other mysterious fires in iran which we'll talk about but the most important thing here
06:11:14.560is that the U.S. government have now directly made a move before the war has even officially
06:11:22.460started. President Trump has ordered the CIA to get involved and to get in touch with the
06:11:29.900Iranian people to join the fight against Ali Khamenei. We're going to give you guys all the
06:11:34.420updates and get your reaction in the live chat. There's a number of things that's also been
06:11:40.340been happening including the massive massive protests against the irgc over the last few days
06:11:48.020today once again we've had clashes at university on university campuses the iranians are pro-freedom
06:11:56.100iranians have been fighting back against the irgc passage members and one of the biggest problems
06:12:04.180right now for the regime is that they are trying their best not to be seen to be directly killing
06:12:08.260people. Unfortunately one person has already been reported killed by the regime but more people from
06:12:14.520the regime have now died because they keep doing these military drills and trainings and they don't
06:12:19.740seem to know how to fly fighter jets or helicopters because they keep crashing. So let's talk about
06:12:26.320that first and then we are going to get your reaction as well. First things first, another
06:12:34.000mysterious fire in the capital this time in the area of lalazar and now um the irib the islamic
06:12:41.720republic state media until now they've been focusing a lot on using the excuse of gas leaks
06:12:48.780but over the last week they kind of stopped doing that they didn't really respond much to these
06:12:55.400explosions and fires today the state media in tehran have said that everything is fine it was
06:13:03.380just a small shop that was set on fire now i would like to believe them about this fire i'm not really
06:13:12.580sure what sort of small shop will create this level of smoke but uh okay we'll believe them
06:13:18.660let's go with the official statement from the state media because that's all we have at this
06:13:24.980point and of course our own eyes uh also let's quickly go to the issue of the the islamic republic
06:13:32.340military because they don't seem to be awake when they are doing their trainings. They keep
06:13:37.680crashing fighter jets and helicopters. We have now had about five or six people who have now been
06:13:44.680part of the casualties of this war and the war hasn't even started officially. And once again,
06:13:50.580Iranian military helicopter crashed into one of the fruit and vegetable markets in Dorche during
06:14:29.760now for a regime that tend to hide their weaknesses this time the actual report
06:14:47.460officially came from the IRIB the Islamic Republic state media I'm pretty sure at
06:14:53.140this point they are blaming the helicopter because the helicopter was
06:14:57.080jewish and that's why it crashed but we can now uh confirm that four people have been killed
06:15:03.880including the pilot and the co-pilot uh this was uh in uh near esfahan in uh and uh according to
06:15:16.040the city's fire and safety services that there have been some disruptions at the fruit and
06:15:23.080vegetable markets uh yes some disruptions you destroyed people's livelihood because you guys
06:15:29.160can't fly a helicopter and but in terms of the protests this is now day four day five of the
06:15:37.800return of the massive wave of uprising this time led by the brave young students in iran and let's
06:15:45.160quickly go to the central part of the capital in tehran a shahid university where people start
06:15:51.640chanting um until the mullahs and the islamists are buried this homeland will not be a homeland
06:16:00.440and of course they also chanted don't stand aside join us
06:16:06.440Now, shortly after this, once again clashes started on the streets and at university campuses between the pro-freedom Iranian students and the smelly beardy weirdies of the Islamic Republic.
06:16:33.660I'm going to show you some of the clips. Somebody in the live chat says,
06:16:38.060Quiet Country says, I hope the intelligence is successful so operators can execute.
06:16:44.380Love 2C TV in USA. God bless America. Thank you very much.
06:16:48.920And let's quickly go to what happened after the huge protests that once again erupted
06:16:54.220and the regime were not able to prevent it.
06:16:57.680I'm not really sure what they're up to anymore when it comes to these crackdowns.
06:17:01.020The only way they can relatively pause the uprising is always shooting people in panic.
06:17:08.660That's literally the only thing they can do.
06:17:10.200They are not able to actually stop these things.
06:17:13.180The only thing they can do is just basically when things get worse, they start shooting at innocent people.
06:25:09.620They forget about the IRGC, forget about the proxies, forget about all the other obstacles, the Persian Gulf Arab countries.
06:25:16.020You also have the liberal mainstream media as a massive obstacle, at times, as a propaganda mouthpiece for the regime in Tehran.
06:25:25.220It's embarrassing that these guys who are supposed to be, I mean, according to the enemies of the United States, everything is a propaganda mouthpiece for the White House, right?
06:25:35.260They believe that the White House and Langley CIA are running the world, right?
06:25:40.400They're trying their best, by the way.
06:25:42.200But they say everything is basically coordinated.
06:25:45.260The reason they say this is because in Pyongyang, in North Korea, in Tehran, Iran, that's how regimes operate.
06:25:55.320So they believe that all media outlets are basically pro-Trump.
06:25:59.620The reality is that liberal legacy corporate media outlets, not only do you have to be pro-Trump, you have to do your job as a journalist, but you have to be pro-America.
06:26:11.020You need to stop taking the sides of America's enemies.
06:26:13.900it's not really rocket science but this is what we're happening what we're
06:26:18.160seeing and you got the tabloid journalists and all the other weirdos
06:26:21.040who used to be mainstream but again you can take the man out of the mainstream
06:26:25.780media but you can't take the mainstream media out of the man and I'm
06:26:29.000specifically talking about individuals like Tucker Carlson that mentality
06:26:34.420doesn't go anywhere Tucker Carlson is now basically defending the Islamic
06:26:37.900Republic against his own country this is same as CNN and ABC and all the
06:26:43.740others. Now let's quickly go to the crown prince Reza Pahlavi. He's released yet another public
06:26:51.460address. He's thanked of course the protesters in Iran who are still brave enough to come out
06:26:58.180to fight for freedom and their country and he did say in this video I'm going to show you with the
06:27:03.080English subtitles in a second that my father nearly 50 years ago had predicted how future
06:27:10.000generations would judge him and his services. Today you gave the answer of history. His soul
06:27:17.600is at peace because he sees that the children of Iran are awake. Let's go.
07:01:42.240I'm not Jewish, just because my goals and my values align with Israel's goals and values.
07:01:51.840And just because I don't think that, you know, like, just because I'm not part of, like, the Islamic jihadi Oma, right, doesn't mean I'm an Israeli agent.
07:01:58.840But this is what, like, the jihadis do.
07:02:01.040This is what, like, the Muslim Islamists do.
07:02:03.240They try to, like, deny our Iranian identity, right?
07:02:07.920This is actually, like, this is very, very racist towards Iranians.
07:02:11.660and we've been dealing with this racist propaganda for the last 47 years
07:02:15.480yeah and i don't know jake does the millions of iranians who came out in the streets with
07:02:21.720israeli flags are they all working for israel all of them are working for israel you idiots

07:04:29.760uh may want to dismantle this iranian regime uh well okay but this is an argument i've seen

07:04:52.320he's laughing at what pierce morgan is saying too yeah and he can't imagine how this is good for
07:04:58.960America. Look at this. Peter is saying, okay, maybe this is good for Israel, but maybe it's
07:05:05.760good for America as well. And Sheikh is like, no, they're not our enemies. The people who chant
07:05:11.600death to America before they chant death to Israel, yeah, removing that, there's no benefits
07:05:18.000in America for that. The people who call Israel the little Satan and America the big Satan,

07:09:04.480identitarianism is pretty stupid but i think it was pretty stupid to call jank anti-semitic for
07:09:08.640saying that obviously is i mean pierce it's just completely undeniable that israel wants this war
07:09:14.960every other week netanyahu comes here and when he does that's all they talk about israel never
07:09:20.320once more do you see how i'm trying not to like like i'm trying not to laugh oh my god oh my god
07:09:29.360if you go back a little bit arvin you're gonna have to watch this like episode like five times
07:09:34.320like not on the live stream but five times individually and just focus on every single
07:09:38.640person's expression because especially elicas and minds because it's it's hilarious yeah okay
07:09:45.840that obviously is i mean pierce it's just completely undeniable that israel wants this
07:09:52.080war every other week netanyahu comes here okay i just noticed that you're like okay okay that was
07:09:59.700pretty good i'm like oh okay okay yeah okay so you know what i was trolling them too part of the
07:10:07.020reason that they were like off their game is because i was trolling them but i wasn't doing
07:10:12.040by interrupting i was doing with my facial expressions and i know they were looking at me
07:10:15.980and honestly armin facial expressions without interrupting can get a person more off their game
07:10:24.180than interrupting because if you interrupt them they'll be like oh why are you attacking me but
07:10:27.920if you're just giving a facial expression what are they going to say right so yeah yeah that that
07:10:32.640unnerves them more than anything so oh yeah i was totally on my facial expression game for this
07:10:37.620episode yeah interruption looks desperate but facial expressions is like communicate stuff
07:10:44.260without interrupting anyone really good point really good point guys we take notes this is a
07:10:51.760master class from a politician um just quickly like with dave smith saying israel wants this war
07:10:58.380israel never wanted war as a country that is threatened uh with annihilation more than any
07:11:04.920other country on the planet israel's israel's main israel's goal it's in it's in israel's
07:11:12.280interest to stop wars not start wars and every single war that israel has been go check go check
07:11:18.760guys every single war that israel has ever been involved with was started by israel's enemies
07:11:25.720and israel was only responding to other people starting a war and here as well israel doesn't
07:11:32.600want a war with the Islamic Republic. Israel is now ending a war. Israel wants to end the war
07:11:40.280that the Islamic Republic started 47 years ago against Israel. Khomeini, at the very first day
07:11:48.760of the Islamic revolution, announced that they're going to destroy Israel. They wanted to destroy
07:11:54.600Israel. They're anti-Israel. So they declared war against Israel. So Israel doesn't want to start a
07:11:59.160war with islamic republic israel is trying to finish the islamic republic so that they could
07:12:04.680end the war that islamic republic started israel ends war it doesn't start worse so no israel
07:12:10.920doesn't want war israel wants peace and when he does that's what israel wants some some idiots in
07:12:17.240my chat saying what are you talking about saying 1948 israel started are you kidding me are you
07:12:23.080kidding me 1948 israel started or no you're saying israel started as a country or started a war
07:12:28.920maybe i'm misunderstanding you but if you're saying in 1948 israel started war if you're
07:12:33.320saying israel started okay that's okay but 1948 arab countries united to attack israel so i don't
07:12:40.600know which one you mean but if you mean they started the war yet you don't know your history
07:12:44.440this war every other week netanyahu comes here and when he does that's all they talk about if
07:12:49.320you want to say that i mean look of all the wars in fact you know john meersheimer and walt wrote
07:12:54.280that great book uh the israel lobby and they had a couple great anecdotes in there where uh you
07:12:58.840U.S. officials were saying during the Iraq War to the Israelis, like, hey, like, shut
07:13:03.480up because you're making this look like this is a war for Israel.
07:13:06.600Like, you don't want to reveal that too much.
07:20:42.460Do these people understand that if Israel wanted to, they could wipe out Gaza?
07:20:47.160in half a day? Half a day? Do you understand 60,000, even 100,000 people dying in a population,
07:20:56.040in a place where there's 2 million people? In a timeframe where they're actually producing,
07:21:03.640where they're actually more children are being born, the population increases even at the times
07:21:13.000that they have the maximum numbers of casualties. Even if the numbers were 100,000, that would not
07:21:18.280even come close to be able to erase the people from Gaza, not even close. And I'm not suggesting
07:21:25.640that these numbers are low. Yeah, many people in Gaza die, and every single one of them that
07:21:31.400are civilian are a tragedy. But who kills them? It's Gaza. It's Hamas killing people in Gaza.
07:21:37.960I don't need to tell you guys. Hamas designed the October 7th attack to have the highest amount of people from Gaza dying. This was by design. They made it impossible for Israel to be able to defend itself without killing as many citizens of Gaza.
07:21:58.820So the only murderers of the people in Gaza, the civilians in Gaza, is Hamas.
07:22:06.120So here's what I say, and this is not an exaggeration.
07:22:09.700Israel has not killed a single civilian in Gaza.
07:22:16.300If anybody wants to debate me on this, come forward.
07:22:19.920Israel has not killed a single civilian in Gaza.
07:22:23.280Every single civilian death in Gaza is a murder by Hamas. Hamas has killed every single civilian. I know it was Israel. I mean, guys, come on. If somebody comes and kidnaps your child and then they're holding your baby and their own baby in their hand as a hostage, if you try to aim at the person that has your baby in their hand and while shooting at them, their own baby dies,
07:40:52.520mind blown i am convinced thank you thank you chinky yogurt that was so that was so well put
07:41:03.760i was wrong thank you for showing us the way okay i learned from chink he said he completely
07:41:09.840countered everything she was saying is guys israel wow wow okay fantastic i've learned i've
07:41:19.080to the united states and the world okay let me just take a short break from the panel i'll come
07:41:25.480back to you in a moment i want to just move now because dave smith referenced the infamous list
07:41:29.740which held that iran was always the aim in the middle east and we're now joined by the former
07:41:34.420nato commander general wesley clark general clark great to have you back on uncensored
07:41:38.840oh thank you there was of course this uh i mean can you pause for a second
07:41:45.520yes so this is general wesley clark he's 81 years old he is a very very decorated and well respected
07:41:54.720four-star general okay so he has literally his entire life he has served um in the military in
07:42:02.560the american american military in one way shape or another okay not everyone becomes a four-star
07:42:08.880general not everyone becomes a nato commander so this guy this this gentleman this general four-star
07:42:15.440general when he's talking he knows his stuff okay he knows his stuff so just just just let's
07:42:24.860continue and then i just wanted to add this because uh he is a very very distinguished gentleman
07:42:31.400okay let's switch cue there was of course this uh this famous pentagon memo um which you saw
07:42:42.800shortly after 9-11, you said it described a plan to take out seven countries in five years,
07:42:48.760beginning with Iraq, ending with Iran. The other countries were Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia,
07:42:55.680and Sudan. You know, some will look at this and say, well, this is the fruition of the plan,
07:43:01.540and Iran is the last one standing. Lebanon, of course, a bit more complicated, but the others
07:43:06.860have all gone through regime change. What would you say to people that think that?
07:43:12.800Well, I'd say that it was over 20 years ago that that memo was written, and the U.S. government doesn't really have plans that extend that far.
07:43:22.800So it wasn't really a plan. That was a concept that came out of the neocons, and maybe it was a plan that they thought they could eliminate all those regimes that might be hostile to the United States in the region.
07:43:36.040But it never really resolved itself into a plan, per se.
07:45:44.280says all this so go back a few seconds and listen just listen people are waking up armin this is why
07:45:51.320i have a lot of respect here so can i okay so it's okay if i tell people the thing that i sent you on
07:45:57.640whatsapp or no no village okay okay okay we actually in the united states we held back the
07:46:08.040shah in iran we sent a four-star general to iran in 1978 to tell the iranian generals don't
07:46:17.000interfere with the emergence of real democracy in iran okay guys that is that narrative here
07:46:26.920is anti-mek any mek member listening to that would would a little bit like they would they
07:46:35.400they would go enraged right now just hearing that saying that the shah was going like to like
07:46:40.520towards democracy and stuff like they're basically saying that the man sorry saying that america made
07:46:44.940a mistake not supporting the shah that would put any mek member in actually let me listen to this
07:46:50.980one more time that's actually very interesting our general to iran in 1978 to tell the iranian
07:46:56.920generals don't interfere with the emergence of real democracy in iran and so they blocked
07:47:04.200okay yeah okay the iranian military that was loyal to the shah from keeping the shah on power
07:47:11.780we actually that's anti-mek any mek person would hate hearing that
07:47:17.860We can't hold them to the same standard.
07:47:47.540like we're supporting one another right i just want to say that yeah instead of just
07:48:13.780attacking them for something that they might have viewed because they don't know like no one like
07:48:19.060even like a year ago no one knew who the mek was so we cannot we cannot judge people or or or lay
07:48:25.460blame for anyone for any reason whatsoever because they had the money to fool people they had the
07:48:34.500money yeah okay all right thank you they just helped komeini get guide goalie thank you so
07:48:44.340much for noticing that i'm pointing that out because i would have gone full on like yep thank
07:48:49.380you no we we respect four star generals here in in this show we respect four star generals don't
07:48:55.140worry it's all good believe me armin if there was if this was an issue i would have told you yesterday
07:48:59.380On power. We actually helped Khomeini get to power. Now, we didn't intend that. We thought
07:49:10.980a man named Shapur Bhaktiar was going to take the reins, but he was quickly overthrown by
07:49:17.860the fundamentalists like Khomeini. But the point is that the United States didn't begin this fight
07:49:28.340with Iran. Iran decided, Khomeini decided, to purify his regime, to have a moral purpose in
07:49:37.540life. And for the Iranian people, he wanted to go after enemies. And so he picked two enemies,
07:49:43.700Israel and the United States. So the fact that after 40-some odd years, we're turning now to
07:49:50.500Iran and people are talking about regime change, yeah, it's sort of a natural course of events.
07:49:56.420general clark from a purely military perspective the sheer size and scale of the american military
07:50:02.900build-up here around iran is reminiscent of 2003 and the build-up before they went into iraq
07:50:11.140is there a point where as someone put it to me back in 2003 the american military train
07:50:17.860has left the station in other words it reaches the point when it has to do something
07:50:23.620No, I don't think that's the case. These assets are deployable and they can be redeployed quite easily. Two aircraft carriers, they sail off, the aircraft squadrons redeploy. It can be done. It's not a use it or lose it kind of situation. Putting those forces there doesn't inevitably mean they'll be used, no.
07:50:46.280you know in terms of of when people talk like that the obvious question yeah sorry you had
07:50:54.380ground troops that were over there in 2003 you don't have any ground troops there
07:54:19.340And then stop the ballistic missile program and get rid of that axis of resistance.
07:54:25.300And on these latter two points, Iran doesn't seem to be prepared to compromise.
07:54:30.260And so there may not be a compromise in this, but I think the president wants to go at this, hopefully, and get a diplomatic solution rather than pound our way at Iran with air power.
07:54:45.100I spoke to Ambassador John Bolton earlier, who was saying that he believes the Iranian regime has never been weaker and therefore there's never been a better time to try and take it on.
07:55:28.480Listen, listen, President Trump, Senator Lindsey Graham, they've made their decisions. It's okay. That's not, I wouldn't even bother with that.
07:55:36.540But do you want me to explain regards to the Islamic Republic's internal politics just quickly? There is a lot of division.
07:55:42.800I mean, you can, you can. But I mean, the general, his military analysis is excellent. His political analysis, not as much, but that's okay. Like, I'll give him a pass on the political analysis.
07:56:00.680I mean, obviously, when it comes to military expertise, I'm not going to, obviously, he's not going to claim that I know anything compared to the four-star general.
07:56:13.380But honestly, when it comes to Iran's internal, like the Islamic Republic's internal politics.
07:56:17.080We know more about internal politics in Iran than a four-star general.
07:56:24.220I've been I've been for the past more than five years, I've been following the Islamic Republic directly, their internal politics directly.
07:56:32.100So I feel like I have some. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So so he's when it comes to this part, he's he's the truth is that within the Islamic Republic, there has never been more division.
07:56:47.160there are so many people backstabbing each other
08:00:03.440So presumably there are responsible people somewhere in that Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps who can see past the ideology and the bribery that's going on, the corruption, and maybe look for the good of the Iranian people.
08:00:17.820And that's what we would be hoping for.
08:00:19.440Now, I wouldn't have access to those people being outside the chain of command right now.
08:00:25.040Princess Apalavi has access to them, the people who are defecting from IRGC and the Artesh.
08:00:30.020But hopefully we are in communications with people like that.
08:00:34.020And that's the way you would get regime.
08:00:35.520Yeah, Princess Apalavi is in communication with them.
08:41:18.760this is so cute this is the best one yet i love this one okay this is the best
08:41:27.160oh my god this should be turned into like a plush like a doll or something like
08:41:34.840oh my god oh my god oh okay i got some i got a super chat hold on look at this thing i feel bad
08:41:43.560i feel bad for getting this entertainment for our from armin's commentary for free so here you are
08:41:49.320oh thank you everyone everyone support arvin's commentary because this is like this is pure
08:41:54.440gold like i'm so enjoying this right now this is why armin i didn't tell you anything about
08:42:00.280yesterday like i told you a few things but i was like i just want your live reaction right
08:42:05.400so i think it would be amazing oh my god oh how does he how does how do these people get away
08:42:13.360with becoming this you know getting this many views while having such bad takes i i really
08:42:21.060have to understand it is it just because it's he's it's it's he's a clown that's how he gets
08:42:26.100it is i guess i didn't respond to other people what now general club you want to hear what i
08:42:33.700say listen first of all there is no they there we've been through the bush administration there
08:42:40.980were neocons we've been through the obama administration there were no neocons there
08:42:46.580we've been through the a trump administration he didn't want a war sorry did you see how the the
08:42:54.820comedian was like yeah like when the general's speaking dave is like as if like the general
08:43:00.500doesn't know what he's talking about and like some idiotic like comedian knows what's going on
08:43:06.420yeah they have a very weird classification anybody so in dave's world anybody whoever
08:43:13.540thinks like yeah maybe we should attack our enemies uh oh that's a neocon so that's the
08:43:19.140That's the way, so for him, Obama's administration had neocons because, I don't know, somebody at some point said like, yeah, actually, maybe we should blow up some terrorists, okay?
08:43:30.240So if you're ever on the side of these terrorists need some blowing up, in Dave's world, that's a neocon.
08:43:38.520That's why he was like, ooh, you can't say that.
08:43:41.900There are neocons in Obama's administration.
08:43:49.140A Trump administration. He didn't want a war. We've been through the Biden administration. Now we're another Trump administration. When you say they, there's no they there. There's no secret plot behind this.
08:44:04.760is really lobby is the number one donor to every single person you meet biden what why did you
08:44:11.560oh my god he's interrupting like he didn't get him he didn't let him go through 30 seconds
08:44:18.200without interruption 30 seconds and then and then the general's like let me finish because
08:44:24.760the general's done with like the jihadi nonsense right yeah wow we're getting so many super chats
08:44:31.640here. Thank you, guys. I appreciate it. Thank you.
08:44:35.640Israeli lobby is the number one donor to every single person you meet.
08:45:45.040I wonder why people call you anti-Semitic.
08:45:48.220APAC is American. It's Jewish American, but American. They're 100% American. And also, they're not a very big lobby. The dentists, I kid you not, the dentists in America have a bigger lobby than APAC. Qatar has a bigger lobby. Saudi Arabia has a bigger lobby. Even Canada has a bigger lobby. Germany has a bigger lobby.
08:50:15.420But it's the men and women in uniform. Of course, you're not against your own soldiers fighting. You want them to succeed. But the mission was a bad mission, and I called it for that. Syria, there was a revolution there. President Obama said Bashar Assad shouldn't stay in charge. But unfortunately, he did until Turkey got rid of him.
08:50:38.800On Libya, I warned the United States not to intervene because there was no there was no follow on for that.
08:50:45.740And we've still got a mess in Libya. We've never been able to come to terms with Darfur, Sudan and what's happening in the center of Africa.
08:50:54.080Now, when you turn to Iran, Iran has been a continuous problem for the United States.
08:51:01.500They killed hundreds of our soldiers with the explosively formed penetrators when we were in Iraq.
08:51:07.780they started this thing back in the late 1970s early 80s they assassinated a bunch of
08:51:15.340Iranian generals because they'd been to school in the United States so what's their
08:51:20.740so he's he's acknowledging that prior to 1979 Iran and the United States were allies because
08:51:31.600he's saying the Islamic regime assassinated a whole bunch of Iranian generals who were trained
08:51:37.240by the U.S. military. And Armin, for him to say that, that's a big deal because
08:51:43.700for the American, you know, veterans and people who are, you know, American military servicemen
08:51:51.240who are here, my understanding is that if someone comes and trains with you, like even if they're
08:51:58.720not like American, but if they're training with you, if they're part of your, sorry,
08:52:03.520my military terminology is in the great squadron or team or whatever um you basically consider them
08:52:10.640like a like a brother right because they're a brother in arms like if if people from another
08:52:15.200country come to train with you that's a brother in arms right so the fact that the general is
08:52:23.200commenting on um all of these you know iranian generals who trained with the united states and
08:52:30.960and then they were murdered by the Islamic regime,
08:52:35.280the general is basically saying they assassinated our friends,
08:52:40.440our allies, our brothers in arms, right?
08:57:19.920And unfortunately, the agreement that we solved, thought we solved it with in 2015 was thrown out in 28.
08:57:28.260No, fortunately, it was thrown at. Not unfortunately. Fortunately, the JCPOA, yeah, exactly. The JCPOA, they sucked. And the Islamic Republic was violating it since day one.
08:57:41.840And I agree that that agreement wasn't a great agreement. It didn't stop their ballistic missiles and it didn't stop their axis of resistance.
08:57:50.780It also didn't stop their enrichment of uranium. The IAEA confirmed that they were enriching uranium
08:57:59.820at different parts of the country beyond the parts where the IAEA had access to monitor.
08:58:07.100We didn't deal with Hezbollah, but it was an agreement. Now, we don't have anything.
08:58:13.900You didn't have anything. You had worse than nothing.
08:58:16.620Like when you had the JCPOA, the Obama deal, you had worse than nothing.
08:58:22.120You had an excuse for the Islamic Republic to get closer to a nuclear bomb while pretending
08:58:27.140that they were being civilized and abiding by the agreement.
08:58:30.500So if by throwing away the agreement, you had nothing, that's an improvement because
08:58:37.240before it, you had worse than nothing.
08:58:39.920You had an advantage for the Islamic Republic.
08:58:42.860Guys, we have audio leaks from the main nuclear scientist.
09:01:11.340By the way, I'm so glad that I actually know these things because I feel like I am very well
09:01:16.040equipped to throw this at somebody who's trying to, you know, like when Chunky Yogurt or Dave
09:01:21.800Smith, I wish I had the chance with Chunky Yogurt or Dave Smith, like in a one-on-one debate at
09:01:25.780some point, because it's so easy for me to basically use these facts and shut them up.
09:01:29.960the region uh is that a good thing no no it's not a good thing it'd be a lot better if iran
09:01:35.960would simply become a normal state engage in trade work with its neighbors stop trying to
09:01:42.840take over the region stop threatening israel uh but iran doesn't seem under its present regime
09:01:49.240to want to do that so uh that's where we're headed thank you pierce okay let me wait one
09:01:57.320second i will come to our allies do not want this war how do you know that you goddamn idiot first
09:02:07.240of all saudi arabia and germany have announced that they want this war they wanted the regime
09:02:12.600change in iran they have mentioned it and the general just told you that he talks to the the
09:02:20.120leaders of the countries around the persian gulf and have you like where is the source of at least
09:02:26.520with the general we have a source of information where are you getting this how does he just claim
09:02:31.400knowledge without actually providing any evidence for it it's guys you know you do understand that
09:02:36.520it's just really easy to just claim that you have knowledge over something if nobody basically asks
09:02:42.920you for evidence or a source you could just like oh yeah this is the case oh my god all right
09:02:50.120what the hell i was muted so iranians so guy like arvin pretty much like every single iranian has
09:03:02.840seen like this pierce morgan interview now so everyone's like roasting chunky yogurt now oh my
09:03:08.840wait one second i will come to everybody but i want to get i want to get dave smith's response
09:03:22.280to that dave smith um okay well i mean if if the general get guys get ready for a pile of
09:03:29.320they want dave smith's response to a four-star general right yeah all right let's listen to this
09:03:40.040clown respond to this general who is on the record not just uh on that amy okay well i mean if the
09:03:47.400general who is on the record not just uh on that amy goodman interview but here on this show pierce
09:03:52.600who said the plans went back a decade before that and that they were uh resurrected in a study
09:03:59.080paid for by the israelis if he's walking away from that or saying well yeah that happened but there
09:04:05.160were four different administrations in there so there's no why do they think this is such a gut
09:04:09.720shoe why do they think this is such a gut shoe there is endless because they're sorry hey i
09:04:18.120i don't want to insult cars yeah thank you they're they're beautiful animals i love them
09:04:25.400yeah uh oh my god oh they there well as cenk was pointing out there benjamin netanyahu's
09:04:35.320been here pretty much the entire time the israel lobby has been here pretty much the entire time
09:04:39.480and you'd certainly have to admit guys if israelis have this much influence over america's politics
09:04:46.840Then why is it that in the 12-day war, when Israel was going for bombing the main leaders of the Islamic Republic, when President Trump asked them to pull back their planes, fighter jets, Israel was forced to pull them back?
09:05:05.680Like how is it that, like if they have this much influence, why is it that if every time Israel needs to attack, I don't know, the Islamic Republic or Hezbollah or they come to Washington and they need to get a green light from Americans to be able to defend their own country?
09:05:26.980sir it's an awfully big coincidence that you that you saw that there was a plan to uh overthrow
09:05:36.660seven countries and that's guys there's a plan for literally everything you could imagine imagine
09:05:44.020guys if the plan if something else happened i i guarantee it i would be able to go dig somewhere
09:05:51.140in the piles of the mountains of suggestions and reports that are piling up in Washington, D.C.,
09:05:57.940if something else had happened, I would be able to go and find a report that was basically suggesting
09:06:03.380just that. I would be like, aha, look, look at this. And guys, given that Jews are very successful
09:06:11.860and they basically climb career ladders faster than the average people in the population,
09:06:20.420They will everywhere in politics or in finance or in any industry, I will be able to find
09:06:26.340an influential Jew that is somehow connected to this report or suggestion of like, aha,
09:06:31.800look, here's a report that was just asking for just that.
09:09:45.020Why do we have so many military bases in Germany?
09:09:47.260Guys, do you know the amount of money Americans spend on military support for Germany and South Korea,
09:09:56.760Each one of them is more than Israel, which is insane because Israel is actually doing more than other countries when it comes to attacking America's enemies.
09:10:10.240Why are these people shouting, like, are we Germany first?
09:10:24.700Because that's what's required to be, I was going to say that's what's required to be a superpower, but honestly, no, non-superpower countries also do the same thing.
09:10:37.060Because any sane country knows the way to get strong is by having strong allies.
09:10:44.180No country will be a great country in isolation.
09:10:48.280Every country becomes great by having strong allies that you support when they need you.
09:10:55.360In fact, it's the Israelis who should be complaining regarding being America first
09:11:01.240instead of Americans complaining regarding being Israeli first.
09:11:06.000Because Israelis have paid a higher price for removing America's enemies
09:11:11.660than America has paid for removing Israel's enemies.
09:11:15.920So if anything, the relationship between Israel and America, America gets the better end of that deal.
09:11:25.820Israel pays a much heavier price killing America's enemies than America ever does killing Israel's enemies.
