00:04:30.000well hello everyone and welcome to a very special live stream of the goldie show so um i've been
00:04:54.080meaning to do this for a while i just haven't really been able to to get around to it and so
00:04:59.440do apologize for that so um you know i want i have been wanting to show um my appreciation to
00:05:08.320all of our um paid youtube channel members for you know subscribing to the channel and supporting
00:05:16.160um everything that that i've been doing um and i know that a lot of youtubers you know they will
00:05:22.880have members only live streams where only members can watch the video. And, you know, that's one of
00:05:32.460the ways that, you know, people can attract members or whatever. But, you know, right from
00:05:37.800the get go, when I started my YouTube channel back in October, I mean, I did have a few members
00:05:47.780only live streams initially um but this was before the the iran revolution started and since then
00:05:54.100i've pretty much neglected um youtube channel members and uh i mean i personally don't feel
00:06:00.700comfortable doing members only live streams because i don't want to gatekeep the information
00:06:07.180right i mean i'm here because i want to share information with the rest of the world and so
00:06:13.420if I was going to gatekeep that, it would just seem dishonest to me and sort of disingenuine.
00:06:19.420I don't know if that makes any sense. But I found an alternative. So instead, what I'm doing is I am
00:06:29.100making the live stream public and openly available and accessible to everyone. However,
00:06:38.100However, the YouTube live stream chat is for members only and a cool thing I found out that mods also can participate in the live stream chat, which is great because I was actually wondering about that because I've never done this before.
00:06:56.780this is my first time. And I'm just really happy that mods are able to participate as well,
00:07:02.380because you guys are fantastic. You know, I don't say this often enough, because during my main
00:07:07.460live streams, you know, I'm so focused on the news and, you know, sharing information and
00:07:13.320explaining things, and providing my political geopolitical analysis, that I don't often have
00:07:20.780an opportunity to thank the mods on my channel who do this out of the kindness of their hearts
00:07:28.220and just because you guys want to participate and be a part of the community. So yeah, we literally
00:07:34.340have the best mods. We really do. So yeah, I mean, this is sort of unscripted. For the next hour,
00:07:43.300I'm here to answer all of your questions and for people who are watching on Rumble I know that my
00:07:52.260Rumble channel is not as big but I definitely do appreciate everyone on Rumble as well and I will
00:08:00.080at some point do like a Rumble only sort of live stream as well where everyone can watch on all
00:08:08.020social media platforms. But of course, I'll be focusing on the Rumble conversation and Rumble
00:08:16.080members there. Although my channel is not as big, but that's irrelevant because I have the most
00:08:22.200loyal people on Rumble. So all right, having said that, let's get started, guys. This is totally
00:08:28.300unscripted. So I'm basically here to answer any questions that you guys might have. And I'm just
00:08:36.380going to be going through the the lives, the live stream feed. So, you know, no need for,
00:08:43.500you know, super chats or anything like that. I mean, unless you want to, but
00:08:47.680it's not necessary, because the whole point of doing the members only chat is that I can,
00:08:55.880you know, see your comments. And I see someone asked something, who was it?
00:09:06.380Where was it? I saw something here right before we started.
00:09:13.040So Donnie Girl says, I want to find a members only jacket and have Goldie's members only on it.
00:09:19.820I don't have any jackets on my merch store, but I mean, the YouTube member membership is called Goldie's Gang.
00:09:29.420um if you want I could I could try to I guess I don't know make like a jacket or something
00:09:36.460but then I'd have to get one as well okay so let's sure I mean if that's what you want
00:09:40.640I mean what sort of jacket or like do you want like a like one of those like sports
00:09:44.820coats with like you know that looks like a sports team or something
00:09:48.160I don't know I mean I could if you want that I can absolutely do that
00:09:59.420so okay i'll just make a note of that um and uh karen says when's the live stream starting it
00:10:06.860started um john bond says still praying for victory and the return of the king me too
00:10:15.740as well thank you for that um bill says hi everybody um and uh let's see tom
00:10:25.260Hey, Goldie, I need a new set of power tools and a new lawnmower. Can we watch my American commercials to compare products? Oh my gosh. No, no, we can't. We can't do that. But I'm sure you know what the best power tools and lawnmowers are. That's not like my area of expertise or forte.
00:10:49.840But if you want to ask questions about Iran or the Middle East or geopolitics, I'm available for pretty much the next hour.
00:10:57.600And then, of course, my main live stream will start at 8.30 p.m. Eastern.
00:11:07.380Karen says, we're all some, we are, we all are some numpty saying 60 day ceasefire has been agreed, but it doesn't sound like it.
00:11:17.280Yeah, so I spoke about that earlier today.
00:11:19.840So here's what I found out. Let me pull up this bookmark here. See, this is the challenge with
00:11:28.240this stuff, because there's so much disinformation and misinformation going out there. That's part
00:11:33.740of the Islamic regime's propaganda, right? They basically do this to try and confuse people.0.99
00:11:41.780um it's how the islamic regime has operated for the last 47 years um now according to 2ctv
00:11:51.020um apparently here let me let me just pull this up um i don't know what's the best format to do
00:11:57.740this in wait let me look at my custom layouts here you know what let me just do this one
00:12:03.320Okay. Let me share my screen. So, oh, wait, I already had a shared screen. Wait, guys.
00:12:15.740Technical difficulties. There we go. Okay. So, wait. Okay, guys, I'm going to try a new layout.
00:12:24.460So, give me a moment here. Oh, wait, I think I have it. Here we go.
00:12:28.900sorry guys i have no idea what i'm doing right now
00:12:35.460does this work that's kind of weird wait let me fix this let me fix this layout
00:12:44.440because you know what i want like i want the layout to be um
00:12:52.040like I want the layout to be me a little bit of me not too much because my face is not that
00:13:00.900important there we go there's a little bit of me wait there's a layout and then because I want
00:13:06.200the chat to be visible as well there we go does this work I don't know if this works
00:13:15.580it's kind of narrow but all right i think i think this might work okay so um so going back to your
00:13:26.500comment karen um it says we are all so you say we are we all are some numpties saying 60 day
00:13:34.560ceasefire has been agreed but didn't sound like it lol yeah um i mean so we don't know i mean
00:13:40.460apparently it was reported by Axios sources. And then now apparently, according to Mahir Tusi and
00:13:46.600Tusi TV, the Islamic Republic of Iran has rejected Axios's report that the deal with the United
00:13:53.180States has been finalized and agreed, saying the claims are false. And, you know, as we spoke about
00:13:59.740earlier today on Iran Revolution Live, you know, Mochitabah Khamenei or, you know, whatever's left
00:14:06.460of him um has supposedly said that you know there's no deal with the united states in any way
00:14:11.820shape or form so let's see what happens there um and then oh the star says we love you goldie
00:14:20.080oh i love you too that's so kind of you what what a kind comment thank you um and then our
00:14:28.800yeah honestly like i'm not gonna lie i have the best mods i really do like you guys are fantastic
00:14:35.300so uh we have a we have an amazing community and i'm just glad that i'm able to uh to be here with
00:14:42.240all of you oh wow super backers gifted five memberships oh my gosh so five lucky people
00:14:48.800if they're watching and tuning in right now they might be able to uh participate in the live stream
00:14:55.540if they see that thank you so much for that um super backers thank you super backers thank you
00:15:01.700to the mods. Absolutely. Goldie. Hi, Kenny. Yeah. Good evening, Goldie, John. Hope you're well.
00:15:10.540Good evening. So Cyrus, Cyrus, I did this for you because I know, you know, I actually, the reason
00:15:17.880I'm doing this members only live stream or, you know, members only in the chat anyway, is because
00:15:23.220of your suggestion. Like you reminded me that, you know, there should, I should show appreciation
00:15:28.360to the channel members, to our channel members in some way. So I think I found the perfect
00:15:33.460workaround because this way I can interact with all of our, you know, amazing channel members
00:15:40.100like yourself. And of course, you're a mod as well. So I can, you know, interact with all of
00:15:44.820you guys. But I'm still not gate keeping information because that's the last thing I
00:15:49.760want to do right now. So I think this is the perfect compromise. And, you know, depending
00:15:54.520on how this goes um i might make this a regular thing i might actually do like a regular maybe
00:16:00.440like an hour long q a session every day uh or i don't know probably not every day but as much as
00:16:06.200i can um to kind of have that opportunity to have a one-on-one chat with with all of you guys and
00:16:13.560i mean let me know in the comments if this is you know if you appreciate this if this is useful
00:16:18.040because again this is totally unscripted it's literally just me um you know having a conversation
00:16:23.800with you guys and, uh, you know, interacting with, with all of your comments. Uh, remember the
00:16:29.940members only jackets in the eighties. I, I don't, I don't remember that I was born in 1985, so I
00:16:37.580wouldn't remember that, but I'll look that up, uh, or a shirt or a hoodie. Okay. You know what?
00:16:43.180I will, I'll come up with something. Okay. If that's, if that's something that you guys want,
00:16:54.580I mean, I'm more than happy to make that. So we'll definitely do that. Dan says, so Dan 576. So
00:17:01.840have nothing to really add. Just came from a great dinner with a couple of buddies,
00:17:06.980but as always jobby cha am israel hi thank you so much jobby cha am israel hi i agree and of course

00:17:33.140maybe i'll like put out a few designs and then i'll let you guys decide what you like the most
00:17:38.420um oh athena became a new youtube member welcome athena welcome welcome to goldie's gang i hope
00:17:45.540you enjoy the emojis and welcome to the conversation uh veteran sends an emoji
00:17:53.860donnie girl says yeah i can't have anything thick living in hawaii too hot that would be awesome i
00:18:00.020I would definitely buy it. Okay. Yeah, I have to keep in mind, you know, I'll have to make something
00:18:03.820for Hawaii, like Hawaii weather as well. Skyscraper sent a super chat. Oh my gosh,
00:18:10.960that's so kind. I mean, you don't, you don't have to send super chats if you don't want to.
00:18:15.340I mean, if you're a member, then you could just participate without, you know, sending super
00:18:20.000chats. This is the super chats, obviously are, you know, very helpful. But this is so you know,
00:18:25.380this is members appreciation, but I really do appreciate that. So very, very generous of you.
00:18:30.020so skyscraper philosopher says you and armin helped inspire me to finally start to learn
00:18:38.180persian always wanted to learn it hope to come and celebrate speaking persian in a free iran
00:18:46.820wouldn't that be something that would be amazing um and then skyscraper says what's your favorite
00:19:24.660what's it, what's it even called? Okay. So
00:19:31.100one of my favorite Persian movies of all time is, uh, okay. And okay. For the Iranians here,0.69
00:19:48.400guys, don't get political with me on this because I don't want to hear so-and-so actor
00:19:53.820is this or that or doesn't support like I whatever this movie is from 1973 and so guys this is my
00:20:04.900favorite um wait how do I do this let's go like this okay so this is my favorite movie this is
00:20:15.260my favorite Persian movie. It's called Samad Goes to School. And it's, you know, basically like
00:20:24.700Samad is this guy who, you know, he's, you know, he's supposedly like this, you know, like rural
00:20:34.280villager guy. And, you know, he's supposedly not very smart, but he always outsmarts the people
00:20:42.460who are against him. So like, you know, there's Samad, there's Kuch Ali, and then there's like
00:20:48.160his love interest, Layla. And then there's like his mom, like Nana or whatever. And then there's
00:20:53.380like Ainola or whatever. So yeah, Samad goes to school. And then there's like a whole, there's
00:20:59.660like a whole series of films about this. So that's, you know, like probably one of my favorite
00:21:06.380movies. If I was just like, you know, looking at like comedy and things like that. But you know,
00:21:12.440of course like the the way that like they portray the the uh you know the rural Iranians they1.00
00:21:18.120portray them as you know like not very smart or whatever but I mean this was comedy back in the1.00
00:21:22.980day so you have to keep that in mind right so um think of like how um think of like like what
00:21:29.360what other film am I thinking of like um you know how there's like a tv series
00:21:35.320I can't even think of it now but anyways it's it's Samad um I mean it's not an accurate portrayal
00:21:43.840of like rural Iranian villagers from back in the day but you know that's that's you know one of my
00:21:49.320favorite movies and then my other favorite Iranian movie which is like like my all-time all-time
00:21:57.360favorite movie so Samad the Samad movie is like a you know close close first it comes in second
00:22:03.340but my all-time favorite um Iranian movie is Soltan al-Kalbha which means King of Hearts and
00:22:11.120it's a movie from 1968 and it's like a romance drama movie so these are my two all-time favorite
00:22:19.980movies but Soltan al-Kalbha is like my number one my number one movie um okay and then all right
00:22:27.800let me just go through your comments I'm just trying to catch up so Donnie girl says
00:22:31.320is there any video documentaries about Doroastrianism you can recommend?
00:22:37.580Um, not in English, not really. Like most of the documentaries and stuff that like I've watched
00:22:44.800has been, um, in, you know, the Persian language. Um, I can't off the top of my head think of
00:22:52.540anything that I could recommend in English only because I haven't seen anything in English. So,
00:23:00.460So I wouldn't be able to, but I will. I'll try to see if I can find something. I'll see if I can find anything that's like useful. I don't know. But yeah, see, that's the challenge.
00:23:21.480like most of the things that I personally watch about Iran or the history of Iran or documentaries
00:23:28.300or whatever, the vast majority of it is in Persian because it's just more accurate.
00:23:37.340But I'll see if I can find anything in English. Okay, just going through the chat. Hi, everyone.
00:23:47.060Ian says, Hi, everyone. Hi, Ian. Welcome. And I see all the mods in your guys. See, so this is I think this is also a nice break for for the, you know, our hardworking mods because now you guys can just chill and, you know, answer, you know, ask questions and just, you know, have a nice time instead of dealing with trolls or worrying about trolls.
00:24:08.840Ian Clark says, wow, free Iran, Javitshah, King Rizal Pahlavi.
00:27:18.480Moyin is fantastic. I love Moyin. I mean, his songs are pretty good. So yeah, I'm definitely
00:27:26.560familiar with him. Oh my gosh, that's super cool. Wow. What, what, what instrument were you playing?
00:27:37.000Earby One says, I became a member. Oh, thank you. Hi, Goldie, Mods and Chat.
00:27:42.180Hope you are all doing good. Hi, Earby One. Welcome. Welcome. Happy to see you here.
00:27:48.480Um, uh, Patriot Persian on X says Javid Shah. This is a YouTube members only, but I will give,
00:27:58.240I will just share this from, because I do have a very loyal following on X as well.
00:28:03.340Um, so shout out to everyone watching. Um, let's see. So Tom for life says when looking at the
00:28:10.540recent MOA negotiations, do you think the U S is successfully controlling the narrative right now?
00:28:16.220It felt like the IRGC spent the last few months using the media to sow doubt.
00:28:21.400So I think that the United States administration is slowly coming to terms with how to deal with the propaganda war.0.90
00:28:34.040Because the one thing that the Islamic regime is very good at is propaganda and information war.0.95
00:28:41.940um that's that's literally like how they have been able to control the narrative for um the last0.84
00:28:51.30047 years and fool everyone about what's been happening in occupied iran and um i you know
00:28:59.720i i think that uh wait let me let me bring up this for example um
00:29:05.060and i think that uh initially the uh islamic regime was able to successfully control the
00:29:16.480narrative and fool the mainstream media um and that has been limited to a degree however
00:29:24.740uh the trump administration is still dealing with this propaganda warfare so i mean oh like oh you
00:29:34.740know what? This is perfect timing. So look at this. Guys, I didn't even plan this. CENTCOM,
00:29:42.280literally five minutes ago, CENTCOM just posted. Claim. Iran's state TV claimed Iranian forces
00:29:51.600downed a U.S. aircraft near Boucher. False. The truth. No U.S. aircraft were shot down.
00:30:00.120All U.S. air assets are accounted for. So, yeah, I mean, this is this is what the United States is dealing with right now. Right. Like you guys are literally dealing with this insane jihadi Durka terrorist organization.
00:30:18.880It's not a rational or logical actor. It doesn't abide by the rules. It's not like something that0.70
00:30:27.040you can reason with. These are literally like insane jihadis who are willing to sell their0.98
00:30:34.960own mother and murder their own children if it means advancing their own personal agenda.1.00
00:30:43.720Okay. And, you know, we Iranians, we know how depraved and evil and insane they are. I think it's only now that President Trump and his administration are finally starting to see this.1.00
00:30:58.520And I mean, again, what blows my mind is that you have mainstream media outlets, you know, well, I call them fake stream media like CNN and, you know, whatever, MSNBC or MSNOW or whatever, who literally take what the Islamic regime is putting out there as face value.0.89
00:31:16.940And it's like the farthest thing from the truth, right?0.88
00:31:22.700Like, just think about this for a moment.
00:31:26.920How insane do you have to be to go on TV and just put out this claim that you've downed U.S. aircraft as if it can't be verified by outside sources, right?0.96
00:31:44.800Like, this is how insane the Islamic regime is.0.94
00:31:46.860Why? They put this statement out there because they know that the lie will travel halfway around the world before the truth has even the opportunity to come out, right?0.87
00:32:02.180And by that time, it's already too late because then you have the Islamic regime's propaganda network.0.91
00:32:08.260Guys, so let me pull this up actually.0.96
00:32:16.860so you know how i've told you guys that the islamic regime has like a ministry of cyber warfare0.90
00:32:28.540and they spend like you know billions of dollars to um uh you know engage in the um soft war in0.81
00:32:38.100terms of propaganda uh whether it's through their islamic regime propaganda news media outlets
00:32:44.740whether it's through their, you know, Pakistani or, you know, Bangladeshi or wherever bought farms,
00:32:51.600whether it's through, you know, the paid influencer networks in the United States and Europe and Canada and elsewhere,
00:32:59.140all the NGOs, whatever. Right. Guys, I'm not exaggerating. Look at this.
00:33:05.220so right so this is on wikipedia again i don't trust wikipedia 100 but this article is pretty0.98
00:33:16.420accurate so look at this cyber warfare is a part of the iranian well it should be the islamic regime
00:33:23.100cyber warfare is a part of the islamic regime's soft war military strategy being both a victim
00:33:30.960and wager of cyber warfare. Iran, it should be the Islamic regime, is considered an emerging0.86
00:33:37.600military power in the field of cyber warfare. Look at this. Since November 2010, so that's 16 years,0.83
00:33:49.540okay, 16 years, an organization called the Cyber Defense Command, okay, has been operating in Iran
00:33:58.540under the supervision of the country's passive civil defense organization.
00:34:04.980Iran has been the target of cyber attacks. Good.0.98
00:34:08.760Anyway, so according to a 2014 report by the Institute for National Security Studies,
00:34:17.120Iran is one of the most active players in the international cyber arena.
00:34:23.700Now, in 2013, a Revolutionary Guards General stated that Iran has the fourth biggest cyber
00:34:36.800According to a 2021 report by a cybersecurity company, Iran is running two surveillance
00:34:43.460operations in cyberspace, targeting more than a thousand dissidents.
00:34:47.040Remember, guys, I still have a $250,000 target on my head from this, like, Hamas Palestinian terrorist group that's funded by the Islamic regime.
00:35:00.120And the FBI used the email threat that I received in their affidavit to take down four websites that were linked to the Islamic regime.
00:35:12.860As of 2024, Iran's cyber activities have advanced, particularly in their precision and intelligence gathering capabilities, allowing for more accurate and targeted attacks against Israel.0.63
00:35:28.140Following directives from Iran's, well, it should be former Supreme Leader, because Khamenei is dead, Khabar al-Margish, after the October 7 attacks, here's the thing.0.52
00:35:37.400After the October 7 attacks, cyber operations expanded, including joint efforts with Hezbollah.
00:36:25.300so yeah so um you know like I'm personally like a stickler when it comes to like good quality so

00:37:15.520Iranian here pro tip videos, but, um, this is like the first piece of merch that I made
00:37:20.980Iranian here. Um, and it was like right before the, um, sort of the, the, the revolution started,
00:37:28.380but, uh, yeah, no, I'm glad, I'm glad that you like, um, the hats, by the way,
00:37:33.800I use an American company that's located in, um, in, uh, Kapel in Texas. So, um, yeah,
00:37:42.000everything that I've ordered from them. The quality is fantastic. So I'm glad that you like
00:37:46.400it. Okay, let's continue. Oh, wow. Mel Catwoman says, Mel, you don't need to give a super chat,
00:37:54.560but thank you. I appreciate that. So Mel says, what can we expect in the coming days as far as
00:37:59.980HRH returning to Iran and that process as far as you see? Do you think it's soon? Thanks in advance
00:38:07.320for any insight or thoughts on the smooth transition in Solidarity. Thank you so much,
00:38:12.220Mel. Okay, I'll be honest, it's, it's difficult to predict. It's really difficult to predict
00:38:18.300when it's going to happen. We know that it's going to happen. We all know, like,
00:38:25.340all the, all the real serious analysts, right, like myself, Morad Vesey, a lot of other sort of
00:38:34.680Iranian geopolitical analysts. We all know that the Islamic regime is collapsing. It's just a
00:38:41.980matter of when. And that's the tricky part, because there are a number of factors at play here.
00:38:52.920The way that I see this is that, think of like the Titanic, right? The Titanic was, you know,
00:39:02.220once it hit the iceberg and it started sinking, um, because it was so big, it started sinking
00:39:09.520very slowly until all of a sudden, like there was some sort of like pressure on the boat and
00:39:17.740then it split in half and then it just dropped completely. Right. Like, you know, in the movie
00:39:21.680Titanic where it's like slowly, slowly, slowly sinking and then it just snaps because it like
00:39:29.360snaps under pressure and then it falls. So that's kind of how I see this happening. So
00:39:33.660the Islamic regime is slowly sinking. It is collapsing. There's no doubt about that.
00:39:41.340And President Trump really is sort of increasing the pressure on the Islamic regime, especially
00:39:48.580economically. Because when you look at the collapse of the Soviet Union,
00:39:57.520the Soviet Union collapsed due to economic pressure. And I think that's what President
00:40:06.120Trump is trying to do. Because I'm telling you right now, I mean, I could be wrong, but I don't
00:40:15.220think so. President Trump's ultimate goal is to eradicate the Islamic regime. Okay? He wants to0.93
00:40:22.140eradicate the Islamic regime. But he knows that in order for this to be legitimate, it has to come1.00
00:40:29.120from the Iranian people. So President Trump is setting up the conditions for that. Everyone
00:40:34.280knows the Islamic regime is a goner. It's just a matter of how soon. Now, of course, again,1.00
00:40:38.560And, you know, this is the objective geopolitical analysis.0.94
00:40:44.920On the humanitarian side, however, the reason that we Iranians want President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu to resume the military operations as soon as possible is because the Islamic regime is executing innocent Iranians every day.0.64
00:41:04.480There's over 100,000 people that are in jail right now. Over 100,000 people. These are young, innocent Iranians who are literally being raped, tortured, beaten, and a lot of them are being executed behind closed doors.0.86
00:41:21.960Just today, there was news that the Islamic regime has been trying to destroy the death certificates of a whole bunch of young Iranians who were buried in a Tehran cemetery in order to try and hide the evidence of the January 8 and 9 massacre.
00:41:40.080So that news came out today. So this is why, you know, from the humanitarian side of it, Iranians just want President Trump to go in and continue the strikes and finish the job as soon as possible.0.74
00:41:52.880So that's sort of the challenge here. The Islamic regime is falling and is collapsing. When that'll happen, I honestly, I can't tell you, because no one knows when that's going to happen.0.75
00:42:09.560But what I can tell you is that, of course, His Royal Highness does have a plan in place for the day after the Islamic regime falls.0.87
00:42:21.220And, you know, that's actually the reason why we Iranians, both inside and outside of occupied Iran, we want the Islamic regime to collapse because we we are not concerned about what comes next.0.72
00:42:37.340Like we are not concerned about internal chaos or civil war or anything like that.
00:42:42.740Like we have never been more united.0.87
00:42:45.380And we know we already know what's going to happen the day after the Islamic regime falls.0.51
00:42:51.420The day after the Islamic regime falls, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be there with his transitional government to transition the country from an Islamic dictatorship to a functioning secular democratic society.
00:43:09.260And, you know, he has his book, The Iran Prosperity Project, which I've spoken about several times.
00:44:54.000So I would say that if you want some good books, His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince
00:45:05.760of Iran, Rizal Pahlavi, he actually has. He's written three books about Iran. Winds of Change.
00:45:15.900Well, this one's in French, but you might be able to find the English translation.
00:45:20.200And then this one is originally written in Persian, but you might be able to find an English
00:45:27.340translation. So I would say the best place to start would be with books written by Crown Prince
00:45:33.560himself. They're fully available on Amazon. So that would be my suggestion for where to start
00:45:41.520with books about Iran. The other good one that I would recommend for sure, like if you just want
00:45:48.280like a fun, easy read, um, would be the book Persepolis. Okay. This one here. So another good
00:46:02.460book. Um, you know what, this actually, um, is a good sort of like primer into, uh, what life was
00:46:10.500like before and after the Islamic regime. So Persepolis, um, there's also a movie about it
00:46:16.320as well. Very good book. So I would, you know, recommend this as well. And for all the Iranians,
00:46:24.420I don't know what her current political stance is right now. I don't know. So if she's against0.98
00:46:29.580Pahlavi, I apologize. But just in terms of like the actual book itself and the story,
00:46:35.600it's pretty good. If the author currently is someone who is, you know, anti-Pahlavi,
00:46:41.280ignore her political comments and statements, but her story itself is a pretty good story.
00:46:47.320So that's what I would recommend. But of course, first and foremost, I would recommend books by
00:46:53.360Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi himself. Okay. And then let's see. What else do we have here?
00:47:11.280so texas truck trucker says could you help me make sense of the decision to use pakistan
00:47:20.040of all backstabbing nations to act as mediator yeah it's the same reason president trump used
00:47:25.780oman because these countries are um irrelevant on the geopolitical stage right so uh it's kind
00:47:31.680of the same reason why president trump was using oman um as the mediator back in you know february
00:47:38.860And then Oman came out confidently on Friday, February 27, and said, you know, we haven't reached a deal yet, but we're going to resume talks on Monday. And then President Trump is like, yeah, you know, we're not happy with how things are going, but, you know, we're going to, you know, we'll see how the talks go.
00:47:56.540And then literally 12 hours later, he exterminated Khamenei, like, you know, the rat that he was, along with like 30 to 40 top IRGC commanders. And meanwhile, Oman is like, what? Right? Because Oman had no idea.
00:48:09.440So I would say, and then, you know, of course, we saw what happened yesterday when President Trump basically called out Oman because Oman had been carrying water for the Islamic regime.0.59
00:48:21.240And President Trump said, you know, if Oman decides to, you know, engage in piracy with the Islamic regime, we might just have to boom boom them as well.0.66
00:48:29.000So, I mean, I think that's the same reason President Trump is using Pakistan, because everyone knows like Pakistan pretty much supports like the government anyway.0.90
00:48:36.720It supports terrorism. It's like a fake country, failed state. And it's pretty much like the Sunni version of the Islamic regime. And so President Trump is using Pakistan as a scapegoat because Pakistan is irrelevant. So Pakistan can say or do whatever they want. But ultimately, like Pakistan is no different than Oman in terms of how things are going.0.99
00:49:04.360And what's really interesting is President Trump, remember, he did say that Pakistan should sign on to the Abraham Accords, and Pakistan came out and said that the whole ideology of their country is ideologically against recognizing the state of Israel.0.89
00:49:28.180Like, that's how, like, jihadi these people are. So President Trump is pretty much exposing all of the Durkhas, right? So I think the fact that Pakistan is being used as a mediator is not because President Trump actually trusts them. It's because President Trump just literally doesn't care about them, right? So they can go out and say, oh, you know, mediator, we're mediating, whatever. And then President Trump can do whatever he wants, similar to how he treated Oman.0.97
00:49:55.360And if you recall, remember when when the initial negotiations right after the ceasefire were supposed to begin in Islamabad, Pakistan had like this whole thing going where they made all these posters and these banners and they were like they were promoting Pakistan as like the peacemaker.
00:50:15.460And the negotiations were supposed to last two weeks. And, you know, J.D. Vance and Kushner and
00:50:22.640Wyckoff, right, they were supposed to be there for two weeks. And, you know, Pakistan, like they
00:50:28.160made all these banners and everything. And then J.D. Vance, Kushner, and Wyckoff get there. And
00:50:35.400literally 21 hours later, they're like, yeah, nope, negotiations are off, we're done. And they
00:50:42.400left. And so the entire like, you know, two week propaganda thing that Pakistan wanted to do0.51
00:50:48.680down the drain and literally they had to take down the posters. So I think that's why President0.94
00:50:55.180Trump is using Pakistan in that sense, because like it's a garbage country. I mean, no offense1.00
00:51:01.820to Pakistanis, but it's like it's it's it's a failed it's a failed terrorist state. You guys0.98
00:51:06.380know that you guys know that um and you know Pakistani Christians are some of the most
00:51:12.680persecuted Christians um in the world like no one ever talks about the Pakistani minorities0.61
00:51:18.380right no one ever talks about the Pakistani minorities so when I say Pakistan I'm not0.98
00:51:23.900referring to like the people I'm well I mean I am referring to like the Islamists and the1.00
00:51:29.240jihadis but I'm not referring to like the ordinary normal Pakistani people um who just want to live1.00
00:51:35.660normal lives, but they are stuck under this, like, jihadi, durka, Islamist regime, right? Guys, the0.99
00:51:44.060entire concept of Pakistan, right? So, first of all, Pakistan is an Iranian word. Pak means pure,
00:51:52.180and stan means country of. So, a little history lesson. All of the stans in the area, right? Let0.95
00:51:59.120me actually pull this up here. So a little fun fact for you guys. Okay. So all of these
00:52:12.020Stan countries, right? So Turkmenistan, where's the rest of it? Wait, open image. Let me just0.86
00:52:18.780show the actual image here. There we go. So you see like Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan,
00:52:26.900Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Afghanistan. Do you see all these Stan countries? That's
00:52:34.140because they were part of the Persian empire. So Stan means country and Pak in, you know,
00:52:41.320Pakistan's case means pure. So all these areas used to be part of the Persian empire. Now,
00:52:47.440you know, back and forth anyways, Pakistan, like I'm not saying this to, you know, because Iranians0.89
00:52:53.380are trying to claim Pakistan. No, Pakistan is actually Indian territory and should go back to0.98
00:52:58.640India, but that's a whole other story. But when Pakistan was created, the original two-state
00:53:08.160solution was actually Pakistan and India. So Muslim Indians in India, I guess for whatever1.00
00:53:17.540reason, they were like, we don't want to live under a Hindu society. We're being oppressed.1.00
00:53:22.120we need our own country, right? So the British were like, all right, sure, we'll help you make0.94
00:53:27.820like your country. And Pakistan is literally an ethno, like a religious ethno state where0.77
00:53:34.980the entire concept of the country is built on Islam. And as soon as Pakistan was created,0.90
00:53:42.840every other religious minority, including, you know, Hindus and Christians and, you know,
00:53:49.220whoever else, they were immediately persecuted. They literally have no rights in Pakistan.
00:53:56.160Like, and that's because they, like the entire country, by the way, Pakistan was created one0.91
00:54:03.740year before Israel. Why is it that no one ever calls out how fake Pakistan is, but yet everyone's0.95
00:54:09.620attacking Israel, right? But the reality is that Israel actually has roots that goes back 3,0000.96
00:54:17.240years. Pakistan is, Pakistan is basically just a bunch of like Muslim Indians who forgot their1.00
00:54:25.040Hindu roots. Because the only, the only reason that there's Muslims in India is because of the1.00
00:54:31.700Arab Muslim conquest, right? Because after they conquered Iran, they went through into India.0.97
00:54:38.880Now, of course, we Iranians, we were conquered, but we were never colonized. Unfortunately,
00:54:44.200in india there were people that were colonized and so that's why you have these like people who0.99
00:54:50.040like literally their entire identity is islam because they've forgotten their original indian0.92
00:54:57.000hindu roots and that's really a shame that's really a shame right so like that's why like0.98
00:55:03.320these like some of these pakistanis are just so like it's almost like they're trying to um1.00
00:55:10.520Um, what's what I'm looking for? They're trying to overcompensate for the fact that aside from1.00
00:55:17.000their Islamic identity, they don't have anything else because they've literally rejected their0.80
00:55:21.640Indian culture and their Indian heritage and their Indian religious Hindu roots. And I mean,0.99
00:55:28.460that's just the reality, right? Um, that's just how it is. They don't like it when we say that
00:55:33.780though, because they don't want to be reminded of that fact because it's kind of uncomfortable for
00:55:38.100them. So, yeah. Anyways, that's why President Trump's using Pakistan, because it's literally
00:55:44.900a country that's irrelevant on the global stage, similar to Oman. All right. I'm taking very long0.97
00:55:52.060to answer these questions. So I apologize. I'm going to try to go through. OK. Oh, my gosh. OK.
00:55:59.100I also have super chats. OK. I'm going to try to go through the super chats and then I'll try to
00:56:04.920get to more of your just the member questions as well. So Dwayne became a new member. Welcome.
00:56:12.000Welcome, Dwayne. Okay. Christian Evan Christiansen. Welcome says, Goldie, you feeling like gold today?
00:56:19.880Always. Thank you. Study found 70% of Norwegians think mass immigration and integration has failed
00:56:27.700and is causing crime. I agree. What do you think of Zahir Shah of Afghanistan?1.00
00:56:33.100Um, King Rza Pahlavi actually spoke about Zahir Shah. And, you know, Zahir Shah had an opportunity to fix Afghanistan. Unfortunately, what happened is that the, you know, anti-Shah people were able to gain control and, you know, one Taliban was replaced with another Taliban.
00:56:58.740So it's a shame because Afghanistan under Zahir Shah was thriving.
00:57:03.920And I think it's really unfortunate that the Afghani people lost that opportunity.
00:57:10.180Guys, if you look at the Middle East, the strongest and most stable and most thriving countries in the Middle East are those that have some sort of monarchy.
00:57:23.140Look at the UAE. Look at Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan.
00:57:33.500What else? Right. Look at those countries. They're all thriving. But then look at which countries are a total nightmare.
00:57:42.440Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, Egypt to some degree, right? That's because0.55
00:57:54.880Middle East politics operates differently. And the reason that the countries with monarchies
00:58:03.480are surviving is because that institution, right, is actually... Monaco. Monaco is another one.
00:58:12.440Monaco, a country, sorry, not Monaco, Morocco, Morocco, which I actually visited last summer.
00:58:18.020Beautiful country. Guys, Morocco is 99.9% Muslim, okay? Total Muslim country, but everyone is free.
00:58:25.820Everyone can just do whatever they want. Like, you know, in Morocco, you can go to like a restaurant,0.94
00:58:30.560you can buy a drink. You know, they sell alcohol in grocery stores, right? People have the
00:58:35.720option to choose whether or not they want to do it. There are, you know, people in Morocco,
00:58:40.400women in Morocco who walk around in full burqas. There are other women in Morocco who walk around
00:58:46.700wearing, you know, just regular Western clothing. And that's because these countries that have1.00
00:58:53.180monarchies in the Middle East, that monarchy is the barrier to the Islamist caliphate, okay?0.93
00:59:01.340Because each monarchy is self-interested in preserving themselves. So a lot of people,0.85
00:59:08.360who are not from the Middle East, they think, they assume that they know what's best for the
00:59:14.120countries. Guys, the Republican system of democracy that works in the West, it doesn't
00:59:23.680work in the Middle East. It just does not because you're dealing with a totally different set of0.86
00:59:30.440um, actors with a different value system, different set of beliefs. And, and, uh, you know,
00:59:37.120they, um, they take, like, they basically take advantage of the system guys. And if you don't
00:59:44.560believe me, look at what's happening in the United States right now. All these Durkha's,1.00
00:59:49.320all these Durkha's are coming and mass immigrating into your countries. They are taking advantage1.00
00:59:55.540of your fundamental rights and freedoms to advance their own jihadi goals and propaganda in the0.94
01:00:03.420Middle East. Remember last night, guys, we were watching. Oh, wait, where did I go? Wait, where0.58
01:00:09.320did I go? There we go. Remember, guys, last night on Sean Hannity, we were literally watching a news
01:00:16.000report about like some guy named Abdul, who is running for office, and he wants to get rid of
01:00:23.860ice. That's how it starts. That's how it starts. Because in a democracy, see, here's the thing.
01:00:30.880The beauty of a democracy is that anyone can get elected. The terrifying thing about a democracy
01:00:40.220is that anyone can get elected. That's why countries in the Middle East that have a monarchy,
01:00:50.360that have a head of state are more stable because when you have that institution that institution1.00
01:00:59.780can prevent the durkas from taking control that's why iran was stable prior to 1979 and that's why0.98
01:01:08.400right now a lot of people do not want um that system of constitutional monarchy to return
01:01:15.800because the Shah was preventing the Durkhas from taking over.0.78
01:01:43.260You cannot assume that a system of government that works in the United States will work in the Middle East. It just can't. It's a totally different set of rules, totally different context there.1.00
01:01:56.920Um, that's not to say you can't have democracy, right? Iran was a constitutional monarchy prior to 1979. So we, we still want a democracy, but we recognize and understand that we need a non-political, you know, commander in chief, head of state, whatever you want to call it, a non-political person, um, who has the constitutional authority to do something if and when the Durka jihadi
01:02:26.920take advantage of the democratic system to take control of the country so there
01:02:33.640you go okay Galveston said Galveston County Mike I'm currently reading the

01:16:17.860pop i listen to moin leila furuhar sandy and more that was my second contact with iranian music
01:19:13.240yeah, Iranian music is really diverse. It's just because, you know, Iran is a bigger country than
01:19:20.600people realize. Iran is pretty much, like, guys, this is how, like, this is how big Iran is. Let
01:19:25.580me pull it up on a map. Right? So, let me pull it up. Where is it?
01:19:43.240Okay, guys, so this is how big Iran actually is, okay, right?
01:19:49.220Like, when you compare it to the United States, like, Iran is, like, at least a third, like, at least a quarter, if not a third, the size of the United States, right?
01:20:02.240So just, you know, think about all the diversity in terms of culture, language, you know, dialect, music, food, whatever, between all the various states in the United States.
01:20:18.600Yeah, that's the same thing with Iran, except it's been going on for like 3,000, 4,000, 5,000 years, right?
01:20:23.780So, yeah, there is a lot of diversity. But the one thing that unites all of us is our Iranian identity. And that's why, like, we love our multiculturalism. And Iran does multiculturalism right, because we love, you know, the diversity that we have.
01:20:45.000But that diversity does not come at the expense of our Iranian identity or our Iranian flag, right? Like, we're all Iranian first. And then, you know, we all have our own dialects and, you know, different recipes and different styles of music and whatever. So yeah, that's just kind of how we do it there.
01:21:07.700So, okay, guys, thank you all for being here. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to get to all of your member comments. I really do apologize. I do have to start getting ready for my main live stream, which is starting in about 40 minutes from now.
