In this episode of the Goldie Show, Goldie talks about the Islamic Republic of Iran and how they are blocking Iranians from visiting the tomb of Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Persian empire, and the man who helped put Iran on the map.

00:17:04.120And there are a few perks, extra perks with memberships.
00:17:06.900to in fact reward this regime by giving them more means that they shouldn't have had in the first
00:17:20.060place. And that's the question that many Iranians ask. You're not punishing the regime, you're in
00:17:26.380fact emboldening them by giving them more means to carry out their sinister goals.
00:17:35.160You bring up the point that many of us Americans are tired of wars. We are also financially in distress right now. Our borders are porous. We have many problems here in America. And the idea of having to get involved in wars across the globe seems overwhelming as an understatement.
00:17:54.520And we're not sure if that's really our priority because our priority has to be to take care of our own right now.
00:18:03.620And I'm curious, what is your answer to the possibility that we don't engage?
00:18:12.320what would happen if you know we we build a border here we secure we secure our country we focus on
00:18:19.840america and we let the middle east deal with the middle east what would that look like
00:18:28.160um first i would say that america might say well we want to leave them alone
00:18:33.600they won't leave you alone that's the first thing they're still coming so that's really important
00:18:39.920guys okay especially for for non-iranians right you know americans who else and you guys are saying
00:18:46.320we're tired of war we're tired of war you know just leave them alone okay that's fine but they
00:18:51.760don't leave you alone they're not leaving you alone they haven't left you alone right look
00:18:57.520at what's happening in the streets of america right now when they burn the flag and yell aloha akbar
00:19:03.600when you know like look at Dearborn Michigan right do you think that's leaving you alone
00:19:13.080or you know look at all the terrorism that's happening all over even if you guys want peace0.92
00:19:22.000the reality is that the Islamic Republic does not want peace the Islamic Republic wants war
00:19:27.340and jihad. And they actually declared war against the United States of America in 1979,
00:19:36.640not only when they took over Iran and occupied Iran, but then there was the American hostage
00:19:42.860crisis, right? They took American hostages, held them and tortured them for 444 days.
00:19:48.460How soon people forget. How soon people forget. So just because you guys might want peace, that's fine. But you have to wake up to the reality that the Islamic Republic does not want peace with you. The Islamic Republic wants to destabilize your society and take over. That's their that's their global agenda. And, you know, Amir, absolutely look at what's happening in Nigeria.
00:20:17.140I spoke about the Nigerian genocide last week.
00:20:21.240And actually, tomorrow's episode, I'm bringing Zari back, and he's going to give us an update on the Nigerian genocide, right?
00:20:29.940The mass murder of Christians by Islamists.
00:20:34.400And that's linked to the Middle East.0.96
00:20:36.300That's linked to these Islamic terrorist groups like the Islamic Republic and, you know, the Muslim Brotherhood and all those proxies as well.
00:20:43.380so let me just replay this because this is this is critical he says you might want peace but they
00:20:50.160don't want peace with you so whether or not you want to go to war you have no choice they've
00:20:54.240already brought the war to you not sure if it we're not sure if that's really our priority
00:20:59.520because our priority has to be to take care of of our own right now and i i'm curious what is your
00:21:07.220answer to the possibility that we don't engage? What would happen if, you know, we build a border
00:21:16.000here, we secure our country, we focus on America, and we let the Middle East deal with the Middle0.98
00:21:25.640East? What would that look like? First, I would say that America might say, well, we want to leave0.95
00:21:33.600them alone. They won't leave you alone. That's the first thing. They're still coming after
00:21:38.600you. How? So by knowing that the biggest success that they can have is to pretty much defeat
00:21:45.360what they always said from get-go, the great Satan, America, which is why they have always
00:21:52.220had such a hostile antagonistic as an ideological system against the West represented chiefly
00:22:00.480by america but i understand i'm a taxpayer here i don't want my money to end up being spent on
00:22:05.680wasted resources either but you should not assume that the issue in iran has to be a war
00:22:14.960and let me explain you why this is the important part right so this is where a lot of people get
00:22:20.560it wrong this is where a lot of the isolationists get it wrong they automatically assume that the
00:22:25.360only way to to deal with the islamic republic in iran is going to war and boots on the ground
00:22:32.240and that's the farthest thing from the truth in fact um the vast majority of iranians don't want
00:22:38.240war okay and even uh his royal highness king who's the um leader of the official opposition
00:22:47.040and and he's basically leading the charge to overthrow the islamic republic and free iran
00:22:53.840he's always said from the beginning we don't want war we don't want boots on the ground
00:22:59.520and stop assuming stop assuming that the only way to overthrow the islamic republic is through war
00:23:07.680i mean look at 1979 1979 when the islamic republic occupied iran there was no war
00:23:15.280it didn't happen because of a war so why are people automatically assuming that the only way
00:23:20.640this is going to happen is the war i'll tell you why that's also part of the islamist propaganda
00:23:26.160right they want to scare americans into thinking that the only solution is war and that's the
00:23:35.360farthest thing from the truth in fact war would not even be helpful and no one is calling for war
00:23:43.200i'm not calling for war kings of halabi is not calling for war no iranians are calling for war
00:23:49.440but it's the propagandists who are using this world war three narrative to scare people into
00:23:57.440thinking that there's going to be a war and it's the farthest thing from the truth so pay attention
00:24:02.400to this part because the dynamics of change in iran is a matter of what is the agent for change
00:24:08.720in iran what is the element that can bring down the system it's no other than the iranian people
00:24:14.640themselves it's your natural army on the ground already except for they are fighting the fight with
00:24:22.880no support whatsoever right so he's basically saying you already have an army you already have
00:24:29.120boots on the ground in iran it's the iranian people it's the people who are trying desperately
00:24:35.760to overthrow the islamic regime it's the people like the one in the video i just sent you
00:24:42.480where, you know, they're trying to honor their Iranian heritage, and they're being stopped by
00:24:49.440the Islamic Republic. Roads are blocked, people are out with guns, preventing them from going to
00:24:54.060see the tomb of a king who died 2,500 years ago, because that's how much the Islamic Republic is
00:25:00.500scared of Iranians, right? The Islamic Republic knows that Iranians hate them. The only reason0.66
00:25:06.840the Islamic Republic is still in power is because of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. It's a0.99
00:25:12.480paramilitary terrorist group that was created in 1979 for the sole purpose
00:25:17.880of protecting the Islamic Republic and murdering Iranians when they try to rise up.0.57
00:25:24.680So when people ask, why haven't Iranians taken over? It's because there's literally an army,0.98
00:25:30.280an Islamic army that was created in 1979 to murder Iranians when they try to rise up,
00:25:37.540the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps but but the missing element here right like what a lot of
00:25:44.180non-Iranians don't realize or understand is that you don't need to bring in external forces you
00:25:51.760already have an ally the ally is the Iranian people and if you watched my live stream from
00:25:58.540yesterday USA versus Iran I go through step by step and I show you exactly what Iranians think
00:26:05.600of the united states and other people but the islamic republic doesn't want you to think that0.83
00:26:13.360iranians are peaceful and iranians are your allies they want you to think that iranians don't like
00:26:18.960you because that's how the islamic republic remains in power right that's how they remain in power
00:26:25.680by keeping iranians hostage you won't need to engage america in any kind of conflict in fact0.88
00:26:34.320And I would be opposed, in principle, in any kind of foreign intervention.
00:26:40.000But I do believe that if you're bringing the necessary element of pressure on the regime,
00:26:46.100equalling the playing field for Iranians, you don't have to do anything much more than0.94
00:26:51.200that because the rest will be done by the people themselves.0.89
00:26:53.920But we need to have a major shift in policy that has yet to exist in the Western world,
00:26:59.640because they're still in the mindset of cutting a deal and compromise and expecting behavior
00:27:03.540change which was a flawed expectation to begin with and so this is really important because i'm
00:27:10.500going to talk about this on friday right so um the shahm iran is saying one of the biggest mistakes
00:27:19.220in western policy is thinking that you can make a deal with these people and there will be peace
00:27:23.460and it never works and look literally what happened like what's happening right now in
00:27:27.940the middle east um the ceasefire is pretty much over and is a you know hamas terrorists broke the
00:27:35.300ceasefire attacked israel attacked the idf and of course israel is now responding as it has every
00:27:41.620right to do so but you know president trump was boasting and bragging about peace in the middle
00:27:48.260east and i actually did a couple of live streams on that and i predicted i was like this isn't
00:27:53.300going to last i don't think this is going to last like 30 days and it hasn't even been a month and
00:27:59.460israel is already having to defend itself against hamas terrorists right and because that's one of0.65
00:28:04.740the major um policy mistakes of the west is um the lobby groups for these islamic terrorist
00:28:13.380organizations you know lobby groups like um like nyak national irani-american council who basically
00:28:18.980is a mouthpiece for the islamic republic um and other like you know terrorist lobby groups
00:28:25.060have convinced western politicians that they can negotiate and reason with islamic terrorists but0.84
00:28:31.540you can't and he's he's saying this last year i mean he said it before but even last year he said1.00
00:28:37.060that's that's one of the biggest policy mistakes that western politicians make is thinking they
00:28:42.260can cut a deal with terrorists terrorists are not rational actors guys you cannot trust them
00:28:48.980you cannot make deals with them because they don't believe in that all they believe is is
00:28:55.080in like you know sharia law and jihad so they will lie they will do what they have to do
00:29:00.420in order to recuperate and gain strength and then as soon as they get strong enough they'll attack
00:29:06.260again that's exactly what hamas just did and that's exactly what he's saying here so so pay
00:29:12.280attention guys this part's important he says it's a western policy like a foreign like a foreign
00:29:17.720policy mistake the West constantly makes.
00:29:20.020It's no other than the Iranian people themselves.0.92
00:29:23.040It's your natural army on the ground already, except for they are fighting the fight with0.99
00:34:37.840But this is why Iranians support Israel, and this is why Iranians hate the Islamic Republic, because even during the 12-day war, right, Israel made incredibly sure to, you know, to not harm any civilians and to only attack military bases.0.99
00:34:55.460and they also gave Iranians advance notice to evacuate and yet the Islamic Republic was trying0.84
00:35:02.100to keep Iranians where they were so that they could use them as human shields and martyrs right
00:35:07.380exactly what um happens in Gaza with Hamas right so where do you think Hamas learns these tactics0.80
00:35:14.500of human shields it's from the Islamic Republic because Hamas is the evil little brother of the0.97
00:35:21.300islamic republic so that's why access to internet is so important and that's why the islamic republic0.99
00:35:30.260not only fans access the internet whenever they can but they've also made it illegal
00:35:36.420for iranians to go on social media and talk about what happens in iran or talk negatively about the
00:35:43.780islamic republic and doing so is a crime punishable by death that's why a lot of iranians on social0.53
00:35:50.020media uh will never use their real face or their real name because doing so is putting their lives0.75
00:35:59.220at risk and many iranians have been arrested um and executed for the crime of speaking out on social
00:36:08.500media from the world and be disconnected from the world which is something the regime is attempting
00:36:43.120many frozen assets, which is the Iranian people's money in the first place, that can be repurposed
00:36:49.280or allocated to support such campaigns of civil disobedience. All of this will contribute to a
00:36:56.000complete leverage issue. But it's also important because when people see light at the end of the
00:37:04.160tunnel, when they see that there's actual solidarity, this time with them, finally,
00:37:09.520after four decades when they see that this time the world is serious about
00:37:15.760telling the people of iran we had enough with this regime we had given them ample opportunities
00:37:22.000to come clean and they haven't meanwhile the conflict is escalating and this may become
00:37:27.760pretty soon an unavoidable uh conflict the only solution that remains is put an end to this
00:37:34.000regime but by helping the running people bringing it down but that requires some support many of
00:37:39.200these campaigns in other countries did not succeed without tacit support from the free world the same
00:37:44.720case applies to iran and that's so true no revolution um has or or regime change has ever
00:37:53.040been successful without outside support um even the american revolution was successful because
00:37:59.920they had the support of france at the time right in that sense you don't have to engage your troops
00:38:06.800You don't have to spend your own money, but you can find ways of actually helping
00:38:12.720those campaigns within Iran to finally have a chance to be successful.
00:38:17.280It also facilitates the transition post-regime.
00:38:21.520Because I know that some of the concern is, are we going to have a scenario of chaos?
00:38:26.800Is it going to be a vacuum that is not filled? Are we going to have some situation?
00:38:30.720of so again guys this part's important because now he's talking about um some of the propaganda
00:38:36.640that goes out where people say oh you know what's going to come is going to be even worse we don't0.95
00:38:41.140want another afghanistan or you know whatever nonsense right so pay attention to this part0.99
00:38:45.240anarchy and instability well what i'm suggesting is that this strategy includes a controlled
00:38:52.580implosion with a plan for transition post-regime into the next phase and has its component and it
00:39:00.340It also includes maximum defections from the regime because unlike what happened, example,
00:39:06.240what happened post Saddam Hussein in Iraq and debaithification, which was disastrous in
00:39:11.200terms of consequence, this time we're not saying that everybody on the job has to disappear.
00:39:16.320So long as their hand is not sold in Iranian people's blood, they can survive regime change
00:39:21.660and they can have a place and a role to play in the future.
00:39:24.300So you're talking about a national reconciliation based on amnesty and not revenge, not on
00:39:30.040retribution, while justice can still exist for people who have to seek that.
00:39:35.520But in the spirit of more of a sort of what happened in the case of South Africa, truth
00:39:40.860and reconciliation, those kind of approaches, which means that this is the path of least
00:39:46.200resistance for those who can now join us, who are disillusioned, former reformists,
00:39:51.340who know that now we have to go beyond this regime, which is the collective ask of Iran.
00:39:56.140and um just wanted to respond here so uh yoke says goldie you don't have fire pilots navy captains0.79
00:40:04.060tank drivers drone operators which is a crime none is supplying you with they smoked qaddafi
00:40:10.780for less with a coalition of like six armies um so so it's you know the iranian people don't0.54
00:40:18.860have any weapons or you know anything like that that's true but um one of the things that he
00:40:24.460mentioned here okay is he spoke about um mass defections from within right so defections from
00:40:33.580the army and defections from the islamic revolutionary guard corps itself now this right
00:40:39.900here uh this is an interview from last year um the reason i'm playing it is because i'm laying
00:40:46.140the groundwork for the updates that i'm going to provide and part of that update uh and part of the
00:40:54.940plan to overthrow the islamic republic includes mass defections and we have confirmation of um
00:41:06.380an incredibly high number of mass defections and so i don't want to get into that too much because
00:41:14.460this is you know i still want to um go through this but but pay attention to what he's saying
00:41:19.660here because everything that uh king is a palabi said last year during this interview
00:41:26.540is now literally coming to pass or has already come to pass so again like this the plan for
00:41:33.420regime change is not something that is happening overnight this is something that has been years
00:41:39.900in the making and um i have a lot of very very exciting updates for you uh which i will talk
00:41:48.220about either friday or or possibly next week but no thank you for that i appreciate that that since
00:41:53.980the world is lagging behind iranians today have come to the conclusion that as much as they try
00:42:00.060to reform this regime it cannot happen and are fed up with it and they want to move beyond that
00:42:07.020And that's where you have to connect the dots and see, as a matter of foreign policy, as a Western democracy, with the values that we all cherish, which is the same thing that the Iranian people want.
00:42:19.260What are we wasting time trying to reason with a regime that in its entire comportment is the most alien to these values?
00:42:31.000And we as Iranians and me having lived in this country for almost four decades and appreciate
00:42:39.000everything that is incorporated in your system of justice and separation of powers and the
00:42:44.060guarantees that exist and the institutions and the role of media and this and that.
00:42:48.120And we would like to be able to do the same thing for ourselves in Iran.
00:43:26.180I mean, that's a really important point.
00:43:28.480And, you know, a lot of people don't see the connections here, right?
00:43:31.400Those who are not familiar with the Middle East and the relationship between the Islamic terrorist groups, right?
00:43:40.220The existence of the Islamic Republic in and of itself is a huge negative financial impact on the American economy because of what the Houthis do with respect to maritime trade.0.80
00:43:53.780And the Houthis are funded and supported by the Islamic Republic, right?0.99
00:44:38.320So we need to start thinking what a different Iran could provide in terms of our interests0.95
00:44:43.400rather than, well, we don't want to be dragged into conflict anymore.0.98
00:44:46.380Because that means that nobody thinks beyond the status quo.
00:44:49.040And we should start talking about beyond the status quo.0.89
00:44:51.320You know, you bring up an interesting point, and that is even if we don't want to engage with Iran, and Iran is already engaged with us. And I think we've seen, especially lately, that they've been very much embedded into our institutions here in the United States, certainly in the West, very much so in Europe. So we've seen what they've been doing on college campuses.
00:45:11.480so she makes a really good point right like part of the reason you have all of these you know
00:45:18.000western university students who are out there supporting islamic terrorism is because
00:45:23.860the islamic republic has infiltrated institutions like universities and you know media and other
00:45:30.760places and they're promoting and pushing their own jihadi narrative because it doesn't make sense
00:45:37.120for um anyone to think that islamic terrorists who yell aloha akbar while they chop people's
00:45:43.600heads off are resistance fighters right and yet today right now in the west we are seeing an
00:45:49.920alarming number of young people who actually think that terrorists are freedom fighters
00:45:57.280and that's not by accident guys that's that's not by random this is something that has been planned
00:46:03.360and they have been working on for quite a long time right like it's it's basically like
00:46:08.160civilizational jihad so again when he says that just because you don't want anything to do with
00:46:15.680the middle east that doesn't mean that they're going to leave you alone they're going to come
00:46:19.520after you no matter what so you're going to have to deal with it whether you like it or not
00:46:24.320and one of the ways that they're coming after the west is through the educational institutions and
00:46:29.760through the indoctrination of um you know people in the united states
00:46:36.960just the other day there was an intelligence leak about you know the israeli potential attack
00:46:42.320came out of the united states how embedded do you think iran is already in american institutions
00:46:49.600where we need to be concerned and maybe even on alert well i think the footprint is becoming
00:46:55.440more and more vivid. They are committed to that. They know what the weaknesses are in this country
00:47:02.160and are taking full advantage of it. You know, you're not dealing with a dumb enemy.0.98
00:47:06.800What are the weaknesses that you think they're taking advantage of?0.73
00:47:09.920I think the fact that it's a little bit of a naive thought that they will not try to influence
00:47:16.400through their lobbies, you know, what happens. You brought it up yourself. It's not only that,
00:47:23.600there are many other things as well, but they're at work. They're not only doing work regionally,
00:47:31.360they try to go as far as they can to Latin America even and many places, as you mentioned,
00:47:36.880in Europe. So everything to try to have a role that influences maybe the wrong way in public
00:47:47.280opinion khamenei had multiple offices in europe through which they found so-called organization
00:47:54.640for this and that but in reality they're doing the regime's bidding in antagonizing guys so so
00:48:02.080he makes a very good point here do you remember um that cultural that islamic cultural center
00:48:07.760in hamburg was shut down i think it was in hamburg there was there was two there was two in germany
00:48:15.520um let me pull it up here here we go so so here when when he just talks about how the islamic
00:48:27.120republic is operating in western countries through various cultural institutions he's literally
00:48:36.160referring to like islamic cultural centers right now again i'm making a distinction because i'm
00:48:43.760not referring to all islamic cultural centers but i'm referring to those that are funded by the
00:48:51.280islamic republic those islamic cultural centers and mosques and schools and whatever that are
00:48:58.560funded by the islamic republic are actually a front for terrorism and jihad and indoctrination0.86
00:49:05.600and one of the most recent examples is um here let me bring this up this was this was last year
00:49:12.400actually so so this is what he's referring to guys so this was in um germany and this was on july 25
00:49:22.400uh 2024 so berlin shut down the islamic center hamburg due to its ties with iran and hezbollah
00:49:32.240and its promotion of radical islamism so again hezbollah is a terrorist proxy group it's located
00:49:39.040in southern lebanon it is 100 funded by the islamic republic okay so here you have you know
00:49:48.640this this place right i mean it just it looks like a you know islamic whatever mosque or whatever
00:49:56.160and it's called the islamic center of hamburg but it's shut down because it was connected to
00:50:02.480the islamic republic in iran and hezbollah right and it was shut down because it was promoting
00:50:08.560radical islamism the german interior ministry said on july 24. acting on a court order german
00:50:15.920authorities have begun searching 53 of the islamic center hamburg's properties in eight federal
00:50:23.040states the ministry said here's the thing the islamic center of hamburg promotes an islam
00:50:30.560islamist extremist totalitarian ideology in germany let me repeat that guys the islamic
00:50:38.320center hamburg promotes an islamist extremist totalitarian ideology in germany it supports0.61
00:50:46.800the terrorists of hezbollah and it spreads aggressive antisemitism said interior minister
00:50:54.400nancy phaser in a statement the ministry also noted that as the direct representative of iran's
00:51:03.040supreme leader of the islamic revolution the islamic center of hamburg disseminates the
00:51:09.200ideology of the islamic revolution in an aggressive and militant way and seeks to bring about such a
00:51:17.200revolution in the federal republic of germany do you see that guys did you see that seeks to bring
00:51:22.640about such a revolution in the federal republic of germany so when he says and when i say0.96
00:51:32.480that regardless of whether you want to go to war with them these islamists and jihadis are already0.97
00:51:39.120at war with you they have literally infiltrated your countries they have built um you know mosques0.96
00:51:45.840they have built islamic cultural centers they have built islamic schools right they hide behind0.91
00:51:52.640freedom of religion and they literally spread jihadi propaganda because they want to radicalize0.82
00:51:59.520and indoctrinate people in order to eventually bring about an islamic revolution and that's what0.50
00:52:05.440they were trying to do in germany and guys i have to remind you the islamic revolution in iran did
00:52:12.240not happen overnight it began in 1941 it was it was a um 30 almost it was a 40-year process guys
00:52:23.600from 1941 to 1979 people just think it happened overnight no it happened slowly
00:52:31.520because the infiltrated the infiltration started small worked its way up and then eventually got to
00:52:39.280a point where it couldn't be ignored anymore and by the time people started paying attention to it
00:52:44.800it was too late they'd already gained a lot of control and support and sympathy from people0.97
00:52:52.160so take the threat very seriously the islamic republic has literally built these islamic0.81
00:52:57.360cultural centers and mosques around the world and the reason you're seeing this increased level
00:53:04.080of radicalism and anti-semitism and jihadi behavior in your countries is because of institutions like0.78
00:53:10.880this one that are funded by the islamic republic occupying iran right and they're trying to0.80
00:53:18.560destabilize your societies and you know thankfully germany found out and they shut it down0.98
00:53:25.440so again when he talks about these you know cultural centers that's what he's referring to
00:53:35.780so let's go back and listen to that again because that's important doing uh work regionally they try
00:53:42.160to go as far as they can to latin america even uh and many places as you mentioned in europe so
00:53:47.920everything to try to let's go back a little bit these are in this country and are taking full0.94
00:53:54.140advantage of it, you know, you're not dealing with a dumb enemy.
00:53:58.020What are the benefits of the United States?0.61
00:54:00.120How embedded do you think Iran is already in American institutions where we need to
00:54:15.020They know what the weaknesses are in this country and are taking full advantage of it.0.98
00:54:20.240You know, you're not dealing with a dumb enemy.
00:54:22.320What are the weaknesses that you think they're taking advantage of?0.79
00:54:25.780I think the fact that it's a little bit of a naive thought that they will not try to influence through their lobbies, you know, what happens.
00:54:43.260The lobbies, many other things as well, like those Islamic cultural centers, you know, like the one that was shut down last year in Hamburg, Germany.
00:58:48.280And we saw footages of Iranians in different universities or public areas where the American flag or the Israeli flag is actually printed on the ground and the regime wants people to actually trample on it.0.74
00:59:03.900And you can see people purposefully avoiding doing that.0.59
00:59:14.680So, here's a prime example. So, here's a prime example of the Islamic Republic, right? They're trying to get these school kids to chant death to Israel, okay?
00:59:33.660and you know like this is an occupied iran right so they're trying to get these iranian school
00:59:39.100children to um yell death to israel and they're waving the fake flag of you know ballastine or
00:59:45.900whatever um and then what's interesting is that the iranian school children
00:59:51.500respond with death to palestine right so just just listen to this
01:00:08.380so the so you know the the teachers or whoever the people with the islamic republic
01:00:13.180are yelling um maghbar israel and then the kids respond with maghbar
01:00:24.140so you know the islamic republic has tried to indoctrinate iranians
01:00:28.700um for 47 years but it just it hasn't worked because um
01:00:33.340iranians and jews have always been friends and allies it's literally not
01:00:37.020in our culture um that you know irrational hatred for
01:00:41.740israel and the jewish people um that's something you see with like the islamic jihadis right so
01:00:46.460that's something you see with the islamic regime but not with the iranians themselves it's it's
01:00:51.180it's not something that even fits within our identity or our history right because
01:00:57.740when you when you study iranian culture and history you know cyrus the great freed the jews0.52
01:01:04.220from you know their babylonian enslavement uh took them back to the promised land which was israel
01:01:09.340and help them rebuild the second temple and that was thousands of years before islam was invented
01:01:14.460um so you know we we have a shared history that goes well beyond um the jihadi propaganda that
01:01:23.260the islamists try to push out there and so that's why even though the islamic republic has tried to
01:01:29.660indoctrinate us iranians for 47 years and you know for for those who were in the school system0.93
01:01:35.580um you know they they would have had to chant you know death to america death to israel whatever but0.57
01:01:40.460they never like believed it right it's just something like you basically had to do in order
01:01:45.340to prevent from being expelled or being beaten or something the reason that these kids right now are
01:01:51.260are actually trolling the teachers and fighting back is because this is a more recent video this
01:01:56.620video was from i think the past year um no one no school child in iran would have dared say something
01:02:02.940like this 10 years ago 15 years ago 20 years ago so this is like a prime example of of the failure
01:02:11.740of the islamic republic not only to indoctrinate iranians but also a failure to maintain power
01:02:18.060like you can literally see the um the islamic republic's control over people is slowly crumbling0.84
01:02:25.260right because even these like these i don't know i think they're like grade five or six maybe
01:02:30.220these boys are in grade five or six and they're openly defying um the islamic republic and then
01:02:37.080i want to show you the other video where he talks about the flag um it's it's this video right here
01:02:44.780so when when king is a palavi is referring to um how the islamic republic paints giant flags of
01:02:51.560israel and the united states on the ground because they want iranians you know to walk over them and
01:02:56.800chance, you know, death to America, whatever. Iranians don't, they walk around it. This is0.98
01:03:01.860actually an older video. I think this is from, if I'm not mistaken, I think it's somewhere between
01:03:07.4202015 and 2018. Okay. So this is at one of the universities in Iran. And the Islamic Republic
01:03:15.000has painted giant flags of Israel and the United States on the, you know, the walkway on the
01:03:21.920pavement um so that iranian students can walk over it right and again like this behavior is0.89
01:03:28.560is very like that savage um islamic terrorist jihadi behavior right it's like the same behavior0.86
01:03:35.200you see in the west where like all those like i don't know arab pro valleys or whatever like0.87
01:03:40.600they're stomping on the flag of israel you know on the ground um it's just like a very low iq0.69
01:03:46.240very low IQ. The Houthis do it too, right? The Houthis have like that weird music video where0.63
01:03:52.880they're like dancing barefoot over the flag of Israel. So it's a very like low IQ inbred Islamic1.00
01:03:59.660jihadi type behavior. Pretty much only savages behave that way. And so the Islamic Republic1.00
01:04:06.180tries to get Iranians to do it. And it's never worked. So just watch this video. Not only do0.88
01:04:12.960the students avoid stepping on the flags of America and Israel but when you know
01:04:19.020certain university students who support the Islamic Republic and are part of
01:04:23.100the Islamic Republic step on the flags to show off the students start booing at
01:04:27.780them like you know what's interesting university students in the united states right now are way0.77
01:04:46.980more anti-semitic and indoctrinated and radicalized than iranians and that's wild guys that's wild0.66
01:04:54.100because you would think that those who are living in a brutal islamic dictatorship where there's0.66
01:05:00.100constant indoctrination you would think that the iranians would be indoctrinated no the iranians0.56
01:05:05.300are the people who are awake we are the ones who are well aware of what um islamic extremism and0.94
01:05:11.220terrorism looks like because we've literally been dealing with it for 47 years they haven't been0.93
01:05:16.740able to indoctrinate us but for some reason but for some reason they're able to indoctrinate you
01:05:22.580you know rainbow-haired they them pronoun people it's it's wild to me
01:05:38.500so they're you know they're booing at these people and then they start
01:05:42.100chanting bishara means um honorless so they're basically calling these people
01:05:47.380uh dishonorable for stepping on the flag of america in israel
01:05:52.580Just look at the difference in crowd size, right?
01:06:22.460there's a very very tiny handful of people maybe like i don't know maybe 10 10 people who support
01:06:31.920the islamic republic and those 10 people are stepping on the flag of america and israel
01:06:36.920and yet there's like i don't know thousands of university students here who are surrounding them
01:06:42.560and cheering at them or sorry uh um jeering at them right booing at them so if you ever want to
01:06:49.800a sense of how much support the islamic republic has this is this is a good representative
01:06:55.720representation of that this is an excellent representation of how much support the islamic
01:07:00.360republic has it has very little support unfortunately the reason the islamic republic
01:07:05.880remains in power is because the regular people are not armed they don't have access to any weapons
01:07:12.840whereas those you know those small handful of students who are stepping on the flag and they're0.63
01:07:17.960part of the islamic republic they have access to military-grade weapons and you know all that stuff0.86
01:07:23.080and again again the islamic republic created something called the islamic revolutionary guard
01:07:28.200corps in 1979 which is basically a second army tasked with the sole purpose of protecting the
01:07:36.440ayatollahs and keeping them in power and whenever the iranians try to rise up they're literally1.00
01:07:42.200murdered in the streets by the islamic revolutionary guard corps so i hope this this like this should0.66
01:07:48.200give you a good um idea of um how much the iranian people despise the islamic republic
01:07:58.840and this isn't even a recent video guys this is from like maybe 2018 right so this is from about
01:08:06.920eight years ago and i guarantee you the vast majority of you have never seen this video even
01:08:13.740though i posted it on my timeline other people have posted it right because unfortunately the0.95
01:08:19.260islamic republic has more money more funding they're better at spreading propaganda and1.00
01:08:25.040disinformation and they don't want you to guys to see the truth they don't want you to know the truth0.98
01:08:30.160about what's happening in occupying iran but again you know western university students could learn
01:08:36.600something from the iranians right because we iranians we are very very good at identifying0.63
01:08:43.640what is islamic terrorist jihadi behavior because we've literally been fighting it0.79
01:11:03.680Iranians have been impoverished in the name of whatever this regime has been claiming.
01:11:08.960Today, the latest figures as in preparation or in anticipation of a potential conflict,
01:11:16.400you know, the Iranian market has been on the Christ side the last week.
01:11:20.600As of today, it reached almost 70,000 two months for a dollar, which means that our
01:11:28.380currency since the revolution has been devaluated 10,000 times what it was worth.
01:11:35.840And Iranians are not seeing the benefit of this policy of engaging, you know, JCPOA with
01:11:42.080the promise of that money hasn't gone to the Iranian people.
01:11:45.900And Iranians soon realize that, you know, none of this is benefiting us.
01:11:50.040So in that mindset, this is where we stand right now.0.98
01:11:53.800And there is opportunities to make all of this change based on a complete shift of
01:11:58.140policy. So we're spending, I think, way too much time talking about the negativity of this regime
01:12:04.760and impact on the region, as opposed to spend more time, well, where's the solution and what
01:12:09.320we can do about it? Because there is a solution for it. But I don't hear it being talked about
01:12:14.560as much, whether in American media or in government. And I think that's the part that
01:12:21.540we need to catch up to as far as where America stands in how to deal with this situation.
01:12:25.600I think what we'd want to understand is do the young Iranians, which the majority of the population is under 35, do they have the appetite and the stomach to fight against the regime? Because we know there's going to be bloodshed. They know that too, and they're probably afraid. And so the question is, if the West does whatever it needs to do, and we can get into that a little bit more, what exactly is effective?0.87
01:12:52.300But if the West does everything that you envision that we should do in the West, do the Iranians themselves have the stomach to really fight or have they been despaired by what they saw happen with the other students in the Masha Amini and all of that?
01:13:09.880Are you hearing from them that they are willing to actually fight for the change?0.68
01:14:10.200I mean, I don't know where Nelson Mandela or, for that matter, Vaclav Havel or Lech Walesa would have ended without, at some point, having that element of support.0.99
01:14:20.940And Iranians are already doing that. Mahsa and her peers, of course, were the victims of this regime, and it prompted an explosion of reaction.0.97
01:14:31.500One thing that I can tell you is that over the years,
01:14:34.720the separation of every time there was some kind of a campaign or movement
01:14:37.940have been reduced drastically and are much more frequent and repeated all the time.
01:14:52.120So that is one factor that you should consider.
01:14:57.160We simply need to equal the playing field for them
01:14:59.660So they have an actual chance for succeeding.
01:15:02.240And that's where the West has failed us so far in not coming to realization that the solution does not lie in trying to yet again cut a deal with the regime that you cannot trust at the end of the day.
01:15:14.400As opposed to investing on people who think like you, want the same thing that you have for themselves and are your natural allies.
01:15:21.280So do you think that when the West applied sanctions on Iran and then did a deal with Iran and in return for that, they were pouring concrete into their nuclear reactors and when we kind of let go a little bit and allowed them to gain more money, were they tricking us? Were they continuing to build nuclear facilities? Were we duped at that point? What should we have done differently?
01:15:48.900Well, the IAEA has many times put out reports of how they were stopped from inquiring further
01:15:58.380into what is really happening behind.0.99
01:16:01.140Guys, I mean, remember, the Islamic Republic was literally building nuclear facilities0.95
01:16:12.580Everything that comes out of their mouth is a lie.1.00
01:16:14.480That's how the Islamists and jihadists operate, right?0.98
01:16:18.900And it's just so frustrating that for the longest time, Western politicians have treated them as if they are rational, logical state actors, instead of these savage, violent Islamic terrorists that they actually are.0.97
01:16:36.840The scene. So, you know, there might be an appearance of things by the regime, but there's a lot of stuff that they do behind the scene that has yet to be actually verified.0.89
01:16:45.600So there's been always that sort of opaque non-transparency which leads to being not trustworthy at the end of the day what they do.
01:16:54.060Of course, they can manufacture a lot of sort of staging it or in appearances and what have you.
01:16:59.600But again, it's recognizing the nature of the regime.
01:17:02.480Because when you talk about the nuclear threat, I can use the analogy of it's not the weapon but the finger on the trigger that you should be worried about.
01:17:11.460And in that sense, you know, can this regime be trusted at all?
01:17:14.680now uh when you mentioned the issue of sanctions again i must say that i love when people in the
01:17:22.920chat accuse me of the fact you know they accuse me of getting paid by israel um i'm doing this
01:17:27.920for free so yeah i'm not getting paid by israel i'm just you know sharing videos with you guys
01:17:33.280and uh if you want to pay me you can but uh i don't need to get paid by israel to share information
01:17:40.360about iran with you guys so there you go thanks for thanks for being here though i so i just wanted
01:17:46.200to give a shout out to all of the haters in the chat right now um on youtube thank you for being
01:17:51.800here and thank you for commenting because you guys are actually helping uh boost the algorithm
01:17:57.880and take my live stream in front of more people and you're actually helping me get more subscribers
01:18:03.160so please continue commenting it you know i do appreciate that you know a lot of people have
01:18:08.520been asking, are sanctions effective? Is it worth it? I would say, if you're still in the mindset
01:18:15.400that your strategy for imposing sanctions is to force them back to the negotiating table to change
01:18:23.720their behavior, you're wasting your time. If you're saying, can sanctions hurt the people?
01:18:32.280I think the Iranian people know that regardless of whether they're sanctions or not, they don't0.95
01:18:36.280benefit as a result but they might as well tighten the belt with the hope that that pressure will0.64
01:18:41.480actually finally put an end to the regime that's the price they're willing to pay so therefore
01:18:47.880the sanctions should not be the ends but the beans to an end of bringing an actual regime change in
01:18:53.800iran and i'm using the regime change word on guys i want to be very clear so one of the
01:19:02.760false narratives that the islamic republic uses um especially through its you know pro-islamic
01:19:09.240regime lobby groups like niax and you know some reporters and whatever um is they they claim that
01:19:15.560the sanctions hurt the iranian people and the reason that iranian people are poor is because
01:19:20.840of the sanctions that's because they um are relying on the fact that the vast majority of
01:19:27.800people will not actually go and read about the sanctions and see what the sanctions are.
01:19:34.680The truth is that the sanctions don't actually impact the Iranian people. The reason that 700.99
01:19:40.920percent of people in Iran live below the poverty line is because the Islamic Republic has stolen1.00
01:19:48.040and continues to steal hundreds of billions of dollars of money that should be going to the0.96
01:19:54.120iranian people instead they are putting it in their own pockets and they're also using it to
01:19:59.640fund terrorism in the middle east right hezbollah hamas houthis the palestinians whatever um but
01:20:06.760they're also using that stolen money to fund their you know islamic centers and whatever in various
01:20:14.600parts of the world remember like that one in germany that was shut down last year um they're0.96
01:20:19.560using it to fund the indoctrination of the west um so the reason that Iranian people are poor
01:20:27.880is because of the Islamic Republic it has nothing to do with the sanctions and yet
01:20:32.180because the sanctions hurt the Islamic Republic itself because the sanctions um actually weaken
01:20:39.340the Islamic Republic and when the Islamic Republic is weak that makes it easier for
01:20:43.600Iranians to try and overthrow them because sanctions are bad for the Islamic Republic
01:20:48.060they will try to, they will promote this lie that sanctions hurt the Iranian people when it's0.79
01:20:56.280literally nothing farther from the truth. What hurts the Iranian people is the existence of1.00
01:21:01.280the Islamic Republic. The Islamic Republic is the main oppressor and murderer of the Iranian people.1.00
01:21:08.660Nothing even comes close. And in fact, Iranian people themselves want the sanctions there,0.98
01:21:15.120and they want strong sanctions and they want more sanctions
01:21:18.240because that weakens the Islamic Republic.
01:21:22.760So pay very careful and close attention to those people
01:21:26.720who make the claim that sanctions hurt the Iranian people.
01:21:32.960Ask them if they know what the sanctions are
01:21:35.000and how exactly it impacts the Iranian people.
01:41:20.540And it could be that again and more, not just for our sake, but for the sake of our region itself.
01:41:26.020And this is the future that I see, that we can utilize our combined resources, not to buy arms to fire bullets and missiles at each other, but spending on education, on welfare, on things that people need.
01:41:44.160Dealing with the crisis that we face, like the water crisis, for instance, you know,
01:41:49.720I think one of the best experts in the field happen to be Israelis that have the technologies.
01:41:55.160I want to have Israel as partners to help us manage this and make use of their knowledge,0.71
01:42:02.060as opposed to be a regime that says they have to be wiped off from the face of the earth.
01:42:05.780I think most Iranians think like me, not like Khamenei.
01:45:08.660So you don't have to depend and hold your breath
01:45:11.180between one leader and the other and how good of a job he may or not or she may do or not.
01:45:18.240So in that mindset, I think that part of the next day is to demonstrate that we start moving towards
01:45:25.440not only addressing the immediate governance of the country with a process where you can have,
01:45:33.920Unlike what happened in 1979 at the revolution, where people were really shooting bullets in the dark, not knowing exactly what it looks like, what is going to be the consequences of that change.
01:45:47.100I want to have a C-SPAN type debate, constitutional debate, where every citizen can monitor and
01:45:54.440understand exactly what is being proposed in terms of what final shape the regime in
01:45:59.340Iran should take, how the constitution incorporates the universal declaration of human rights
01:46:05.080in terms of making sure that we put a complete end to any form of discrimination and it's
01:46:09.800based in the law and the law of the land.
01:46:14.600And guys, so all of these things that he's talking about has come to pass. And there is a transitional booklet, which we're going to talk about next week. And I'm going to go over that for you, you know, bit by bit, and I will walk you through it.
01:46:31.400But all of these things that he was speaking about last year have now come to pass.
01:46:36.320And that's the thing. This is why the Iranian people trust him, because for 47 years, he's had the same message.
01:46:44.860He's always been truthful. He's always stuck by his word. And he acts on what he says. Right.
01:46:51.340he is the only people that iranians trust because after 47 years of dealing with a brutal
01:46:58.540totalitarian dictatorship that lies and cheats and steals and murders and god knows what right
01:47:04.840we we as um an iranian nation do have difficulty trusting people because of you know what we've1.00
01:47:15.720dealt with with the Islamic Republic. However, the only person we do trust is Reza Pahlavi,1.00
01:47:23.480King Reza Pahlavi. And that's because the entire Pahlavi dynasty, him, his father, and
01:47:32.760his grandfather, Reza Shah the Great, the founder of modern-day Iran, they have always0.98
01:47:40.660stuck to their words and their reputation is flawless and all of the lies and taqiyah and
01:47:49.760nonsense that the jihadis have used to try and smear the Pahnabi family and they continue to0.84
01:47:56.600smear it like it hasn't worked it hasn't stuck and the only reason that the Islamists and the
01:48:02.700jihadis continue to attack and smear the Pahnabi dynasty and no one else is because they are so
01:48:09.460afraid of the Pahlavi dynasty that's why they try to um discredit them that's why they spread lies
01:48:16.660about them uh that's why you know like all the nonsense right all the nonsense even all the
01:48:22.100lies leading up to the Islamic revolution it was all based on lies um but that doesn't fool us
01:48:27.360Iranians anymore and and that is why um he is the leader of the um Iranian national uprising and
01:48:35.240revolution because he is the only one that we trust no one else no one else and that is critical0.91
01:48:40.940right um so he literally has the trust of an entire nation to lead us from you know a transition0.64
01:48:49.700of a brutal islamic dictatorship to a modern functioning secular democracy and that type of0.79
01:48:57.720democracy will be determined at the ballot box but um we only trust him and you know of course0.95
01:49:05.000his team we trust him and his team of course um but no one else right so it's his team um and0.72
01:49:11.720like those are the only ones we trust um major germany doesn't celebrate the holocaust japan
01:49:19.880doesn't celebrate pearl harbor but hamasa cheerleaders celebrate october 7 every chance
01:49:25.960they get work at 100 100 and major one of my um episodes i think i i had the episode on october
01:49:32.680eight or october nine um i i called it out right like i pointed out like why are these savage
01:49:38.440jihadis celebrating october 7 it's disgusting right like these people um they're not normal0.98
01:49:45.960like they're they're savages they're islamists um they celebrate death and martyrdom and these are0.99
01:49:51.720the same people who murder iranians and they're the same ones who who are occupying us right it's0.98
01:49:57.240It's that same Islamofascist mentality.0.98
01:51:13.640taking a responsibility for their choice rather than having to rely on somebody else to make all0.67
01:51:21.400the necessary choices, if that makes any sense for you. I'm not saying that leadership is not
01:51:26.720necessary. I simply think that by strengthening the institution, you have a much better chance
01:51:33.200of succeeding in actually instoring a true secular democratic system that should go beyond the role
01:51:41.400one individual. That's what I'm trying to work with people to understand that as much as it's
01:51:47.800important to have leaders to step in, and I'm not shying away from that part, but I think it is
01:51:53.720important to understand the vision that I propose, that we will not have solved long-term the problem
01:52:00.760if you are looking for just a momentary change, but we need to make that systemic.
01:52:06.360I really believe that we should not make the role of individuals more important than the role of
01:52:12.000institutions. It's a process, but that's my ultimate goal. Do you have people in mind who
01:52:17.980you believe could help build those systems? This is, I guess, a typical CEO question that I have
01:52:23.840as somebody who's built an organization. If you come in and you say, okay, we're going to start
01:52:27.880new, there's going to be a new process, we're going to build a new process. You need those
01:52:32.380great minds. You need those great facilitators and doers. Are these people that you are aware of?
01:52:37.900Do you have some thoughts about that? And do you see yourself as kind of the great organizer? Are
01:52:44.300you more of the figurehead because you give so much hope and you're their blood and the legacy?
01:52:51.900Or do you see yourself doing both where you're both the blood, the legacy and the figurehead,
01:52:56.240but you, in your mind, have some people who you can recommend for the citizens to listen to and rely on to build anew.
01:53:05.940Yeah, it's pretty much what you just said.
01:53:07.960Look, for instance, I think that the most obvious thing is we're talking about liberty, we're talking about the human rights, we're talking about democracy.
01:53:15.380At the end of the day, it's motherhood and apple pie.
02:01:36.460Well, Your Highness, you truly touched my heart. I will be praying for your people and for you and for the women. I think about the women in Iran that deserve better, the young daughters and the moms and the people in general.
02:01:53.920I love your people. I love your food. As I mentioned earlier, I love the kindness and the
02:02:00.060warmth. And I had a feeling that I'm going to end with a thank you. And so I open with a thank you
02:02:06.460and I'll end with a thank you. And God bless you and God bless your people. And may we just see
02:02:11.680peace because that's at the end of the day, I believe what God wants. God wants all of his
02:02:17.580children to live in peace together and so that we all prosper equally. And so bless you and thank
02:02:23.140you. As my mother coined this phrase, light will triumph over darkness. It's just a matter of time.
02:02:31.500Yeah. And Iran should be a beacon of light in the Middle East as it deserves to be. For those who
02:02:38.000want to continue to understand what is happening in the region, because now we understand how it
02:02:43.220really does impact us even here at home. And we do know that there is Iranian propaganda on social
02:02:49.280media. What would you recommend for people like me who are really curious and want to stay tuned
02:02:55.840in to what's happening? Where can we get truth and information? There are many verified and trusted
02:03:03.520I guess athletes that we can recommend. I would certainly do my part in providing you with that
02:03:09.600information. If they want to also follow my activities, I can share my website which is
