00:00:59.980 Thank you.

00:01:29.980 Thank you.

00:01:59.980 well good afternoon everyone thank you to today's uh thank you and welcome to uh today's edition of

00:02:28.780 The Goldie Show. I'm your host, Goldie Gamari. My apologies for not starting at the regular time.

00:02:36.060 Today has been a very interesting day, a little bit busy. So I do, I do apologize for starting

00:02:42.940 late. Tomorrow as well, I'm going to be starting later because I do have an appointment at 12 noon.

00:02:51.080 But thank you for your patience. And thank you for being here. Big shout out to all of the mods

00:02:57.560 on the YouTube channel, a big shout out to the subscribers. And of course, a big shout out to

00:03:03.040 all of my channel members. And don't worry, we will be doing a members only live stream after

00:03:11.740 party when when I'm done here. So stick around for that as well. So today we are going to watch

00:03:19.280 an interview that is incredibly important, because it's going to explain a lot about

00:03:27.940 this unholy alliance between Islam and communism. And for those of you who have watched my

00:03:35.960 live streams where we speak about Iran and the 1979 Islamic Revolution, you are very familiar

00:03:42.740 with how the communists and progressives and woke left actually enabled the Islamists and

00:03:50.760 helped them destabilize Iran and then eventually take over. And then once the Islamic dictatorship

00:03:57.660 took over, of course, then they went and they murdered everyone on the left as well. So there

00:04:04.240 there is a very, there is unfortunately a close connection between communism and Islamism. And

00:04:12.940 even though these two ideologies you would think don't necessarily mix, but they are united in

00:04:19.620 their anti-imperialist rhetoric and narrative. And that is why even today you are seeing all of

00:04:27.900 these communists and, you know, woke leftist progressives and Antifa who are joining the

00:04:35.980 pro-Hamas, pro-Balastine movements, because again, it's rooted in their anti-imperialist

00:04:45.100 ideology. That's pretty much where the unity ends. But again, for those who are not familiar,

00:04:53.820 this is going to be a very, very good talk today. And we're featuring someone named Asra Nomani.

00:05:02.220 I actually had the pleasure of meeting Asra a few years ago when she came to town and she was part

00:05:08.320 of a panel and she was speaking about this. So who is Asra Nomani? She is an Indian American

00:05:15.280 journalist and author. Born in India to Muslim parents, she earned a BA from West Virginia

00:05:21.460 University in Liberal Arts in 1986 and an MA from the American University in International

00:05:27.780 Communications in 1990. Nomani is the author of three books, Standing Alone and American Women's

00:05:34.220 Struggle for the Soul of Islam, Tantrica, Traveling the Road of Divine Love, and the book that's very

00:05:41.740 interesting, Woke Army, the Red-Green Alliance that is Destroying America's Freedom. So let's

00:05:50.580 just dive right in and get started how why and when did radical islam and the left unite into

00:06:04.060 an unholy alliance who started it who funded it what were the parameters who are the enemies

00:06:12.180 and where is it headed that's what we'll discuss today and i lived during the feminist movement

00:06:18.920 I absorbed the very important principles of classic liberalism, free speech, women's rights,

00:06:26.840 equal rights, human rights, such simple ideas. Well, the orthodoxy in Islam does not believe

00:06:34.340 in any of those ideas. They believe in blasphemy laws. They believe in talak, talak, talak,

00:06:40.640 three declarations of I divorce you and a man is divorced from a woman. They do not believe

00:06:47.540 that a non-muslim is equal to a muslim you know so these are such fundamental violations of

00:06:55.460 classic liberal ideas but in my lifetime in the united states i have been so disappointed

00:07:04.260 watching the left and even liberals and now even the democratic party abandon these ideas but

00:07:13.940 many did not and they were coming from muslim organizations with names like tablighi jamaat

00:07:21.140 you know the missionaries uh the ikhwan muslimin the muslim brotherhood these government these

00:07:29.300 these uh muslims who believe in political islam who believe in an islam that should run the country

00:07:36.980 an islam where the law of the land should be islamic and that was the uh the 1980s as critical

00:07:46.500 race theory is developing these these men establish organizations in the united states

00:07:53.460 an entire network i live in northern virginia they started a entire hub at this building at 500

00:08:02.660 Grove Street in Herndon, Virginia, and there they created this alphabet soup of organizations

00:08:09.580 with names like Islamic Society of North America, Muslim Students Association, Council on American

00:08:15.940 Islamic Relations. The Saudi government had sent suitcases of this Qur'an. Now it is

00:08:23.420 actually a blasphemy in my eyes to put this interpretation out in the world. And you can

00:08:31.500 see here who is it coming from what's the city al madina so this is coming literally from the

00:08:42.300 government of the saudi arabia and they call it the noble puran right all of a sudden they started

00:08:49.180 using words against me like monafik which is a punish it's a it's a smear worthy of a death

00:08:55.980 sentence what does it mean hypocrite and it means that you have deceived your religion and this is

00:09:02.940 a lethal word but they used it as i started to confront them over the last this is my battle

00:09:10.300 because i'm a muslim um you know as somebody even in my family we know 14 generations ago

00:09:17.980 that on my father's side our ancestor was named taker suraj singh a really great muslim name

00:09:24.620 Thakur Surajshin, which state did he know roughly? Yes, we know exactly where he lived.

00:09:30.620 He lived in village of Bindhwal outside of Azamgarh in Azamgarh districts.

00:09:36.620 In Uttar Pradesh. So 14 generations ago, you were Hindus. Yes.

00:09:42.620 Namaste. So we are going to do one more episode, Asra and myself.

00:09:47.620 We already introduced her as a very important voice for feminism within Islam.

00:09:54.620 The person who was very close to Daniel Pearl in Islamabad and in Karachi before he died.

00:10:06.620 The very famous saga of what happened to this important Wall Street Journal journalist

00:10:12.620 journalist who went to Pakistan to cover and got into some investigative details about some bad guys.

00:10:19.620 And so then they managed to kidnap him and kill him and all that. And so she was the person there

00:10:25.620 who knows the whole thing and uncovered it, helped the investigators get to the bottom of it.

00:10:31.620 And she was a friend of his for a very long time. And as a result of that trauma, she changed her posture towards Islam.

00:10:39.620 towards Islam. This is what we discussed in a previous episode. What I want to talk about

00:10:46.500 now is something completely different. Islam has an alliance with the left. That's a very

00:10:54.360 important thing to talk about. There is a term Islamo-leftism, hyphenated. So that's

00:11:03.780 a very interesting term and i want to talk about i'm i also refer to it as islamo-marxism and in

00:11:10.920 fact we even have like unfortunately like um in iran there is um an an iranian islamo-marxist

00:11:19.280 communist group it's called the mek the mojahideen the mek um are actually even more hated by

00:11:27.260 Iranians than the Islamic dictatorship itself. And the MEK was instrumental in helping the Islamic

00:11:36.100 dictatorship overthrow the Shah and impose Sharia law on everyone. And as soon as they were

00:11:44.620 successful in doing that, the Islamic dictatorship turned around, and then they began murdering the

00:11:51.100 mek as well now of course we iranians i mean we see the mek as traitors so um they they built their

00:11:58.940 their own bed and they can lay in it but um yeah there's a reason that um for us iranians

00:12:05.980 we reject communism we reject islamism because we have seen how it led to the downfall of iran in

00:12:13.980 1979 about i'll give you my discovery research and all that and get your ideas on it and we'll

00:12:24.700 both compare notes on that and then oh canadian says it started with the jadeeds the jadeeds let's

00:12:34.460 see um the jadeed movement or jadeedism let me see what you're saying here so a turco-islamic

00:12:41.740 modernist political religious and cultural movement in the russian empire in the late 19th

00:12:47.260 and early 20th century i mean okay so that that's definitely one of them um there were also um

00:12:55.260 smaller islamo marxist groups in occupied iran as well but wow this is very interesting i did

00:13:02.460 not know this okay let me just pull this up for everyone um thank you thank you for sharing this

00:13:07.340 canadian i'm gonna look into this some more wait let me just pull this up so people can see here

00:13:18.220 okay let me just remove this this is why i love doing live streams because we all get an

00:13:24.220 opportunity to to learn new things and so i'm just now like i'm very familiar with the islamo

00:13:31.340 marxist movement when it comes to iran but i'm not as familiar with islamo-marxist movements

00:13:37.540 elsewhere so this is very interesting okay so the jadeed movement or jadeedism was a turco-islamic

00:13:44.740 modernist political religious and cultural movement in the russian empire in the late

00:13:49.700 19th and early 20th century they normally refer to themselves by the tatar terms

00:13:55.660 Tariq Parvarlar, Ziyalar, or simply Yoshlar. The Jadid movement advocated for an Islamic

00:14:05.880 social and cultural reformation through the revival of the pristine Islamic beliefs and

00:14:11.880 teachings while simultaneously engaging with modernity. That's really interesting. You know,

00:14:17.160 that's kind of a little bit similar to the Islamo-Marxist movement that began in Iran,

00:14:27.420 the MEK, the Mujahideen al-Khalq. They were also funded and inspired and basically created with

00:14:36.020 the help of the Soviets back in the day as well. So that's interesting. I'm going to look into that.

00:14:42.860 let me make a note on this. I'm going to look into that and I might even make like a short video

00:14:49.560 about that. Wow. Thank you. Thank you for that. I appreciate that. Major. Pahlavism needs to be a

00:15:06.640 thing again? Oh, it is, it is. I would say that at this point, like at least 80% of Iranians in

00:15:15.620 occupied Iran want the Shah to return and want to go back to the constitutional monarchy that we had

00:15:23.840 prior to 1979. I'm actually working on a video that's, hopefully I'm going to be able to release

00:15:31.860 it later today. I'm working on a video with the newest protests coming out of occupied Iran,

00:15:40.520 where Iranians are in the streets and they are chanting, long live the king, we want the king

00:15:46.240 to return. So keep an eye out for that. That video is going to come out later today for sure.

00:15:53.620 Dora Man, good morning, everyone. What are your thoughts on newly opened metro station completely

00:16:00.060 dedicated to mary and jesus um i.e mariam and uh and complete absence of any islamic scriptures

00:16:08.860 uh of anything so um that's basically the way that the islamic dictatorship right

00:16:17.740 so so what the islamic dictatorship did with that is they're basically trying to

00:16:22.940 placate the rest of the world by trying to claim that, oh, look, like we're so tolerant that we

00:16:32.420 have a metro station dedicated to Mary, Maryam Oradas. However, as I explained in my video that

00:16:43.080 I just posted about Christianity, Christians are being persecuted. In fact, just last week,

00:16:49.500 Another five Iranians who had recently converted from Islam to Christianity were jailed for the crime of being Christian.

00:17:02.740 And they were jailed for speaking about Christianity online and attending an underground church because the Islamic dictatorship accused them of being a risk to national security for literally being Christian.

00:17:21.740 So these are how dictatorships operate.

00:17:24.360 um they they portray um a front to the rest of the world and they do that in order to make people

00:17:36.340 think that oh look iran is normal and you know everyone is free or whatever so yeah they they

00:17:42.020 built this metro station as a way to try and convince people who know nothing about iran

00:17:48.240 that you know the islamic dictatorship is fine and everything is normal meanwhile behind the scenes

00:17:54.160 they're going around and they're persecuting Christians. So, I mean, I can, I can pull up

00:18:00.280 that article here. So I actually, I actually just shared it. I just shared it in my video,

00:18:08.140 but here, let me, I'll pull it up again. Five Christians jailed. Here we go. So this is

00:18:17.740 literally an article from, from five days ago. Here, let me pull this up for you so you can see.

00:18:24.160 so this is from december 17 2025 five iranian christian converts sentenced to stiff prison terms

00:18:35.040 and these are you know four of the the converts here so a seriously ill iranian christian convert

00:18:42.520 who broke her spine in ivian prison guys ivian prison um is the worst prison in in occupied iran

00:18:51.100 Evian prison is basically a political prison. So you only have political prisoners there, right? So these are people who are basically being jailed for speaking out against the Islamic Republic or, you know, like it's not it's not a jail for criminals. It's a political prison. And people are tortured, they're raped, they're, you know, executed there. It's a horrifying place to be.

00:19:13.880 And, you know, just like just the first sentence here, a seriously ill Iranian Christian convert who broke her spine in Ivin prison is among five Christians handed combined prison terms totaling more than 50 years.

00:19:29.980 A rights group said the national security offenses for which they were convicted involve house church worship and Christian activity online, according to UK based rights group, Article 18.

00:19:43.880 House church leader Joseph Shahbazian, his wife Lida, Nasser Navard Goltapeh, another woman whose name has not been disclosed, and Aida Najaflu were sentenced, it added.

00:19:57.480 All except Lida Shahbazian, who received eight years, were sentenced to 10 years.

00:20:03.480 At least two, including Najaflu, received an additional five years for gathering and collusion.

00:20:10.320 So, again, the fact that the Islamic dictatorship opened up a subway station with an image of of Mary, it means absolutely nothing, because, again, you also have to remember that Muslims do say that, you know, they they believe in Jesus and they believe in the Virgin Mary.

00:20:35.960 however they've twisted the narrative around and so muslims even though they claim that they believe

00:20:42.440 in jesus they actually don't because for christians christians believe that jesus is um the the son of

00:20:49.680 god whereas muslims don't say that muslims say that he was just like another prophet muslims do

00:20:54.800 not believe that jesus died for for their sins so um i mean i can i there are um uh religious

00:21:03.360 theologians who've actually spoken about this topic and how they've explained how the Jesus

00:21:10.300 in Islam is not the same person in Christianity and that the Jesus in Islam is like a totally

00:21:18.140 different person or whatever. So if you're interested, I can find someone who's spoken

00:21:25.580 about that and I can share that video in one of my future live streams to explain the difference.

00:21:29.780 But for, you know, for us Iranians, we are we already know that what the Islamic dictatorship did, like it's just a front.

00:21:39.040 It's just basically a way to appease people who know nothing about Iran and to think that, oh, look, Iran is so progressive.

00:21:45.480 They're putting up an image of Mary.

00:21:48.780 But what the Islamic dictatorship is doing is is they put up the like an image of the Islamic version of Mary.

00:21:56.260 and it's according to what the Quran says about her.

00:22:00.380 It has nothing to do with Christianity,

00:22:02.520 but that's how they fool people, right?

00:22:04.380 So very, very good question.

00:22:06.400 I'm glad you asked that.

00:22:08.040 And I will make a note to find a video

00:22:11.820 that speaks about the difference there

00:22:14.520 between Esau, as they call him in the Quran,

00:22:18.980 versus Jesus, as he's referred to in the Bible.

00:22:24.000 So let me make a note of that

00:22:25.180 And we'll continue. Thank you so much for the comment and the question.

00:22:28.180 I appreciate that.

00:22:31.180 Whether that alliance is authentic or whether it's actually full of

00:22:35.180 contradictions. Yes. And what are some of the contradictions.

00:22:38.180 And then we'll talk about, you know, what to do about it.

00:22:41.180 So because you have done a lot. We're going to figure it out.

00:22:44.180 You're going to figure it out. So we're going to explore that.

00:22:47.180 There are several deep, irreconcilable contradictions between

00:22:53.180 orthodox radical Islam on the one hand and the leftist agenda on the other hand.

00:22:58.180 But these seem to have been covered up in some kind of unholy alliance.

00:23:02.180 And it's important to figure out why this alliance happened and what are the

00:23:08.180 contradictions in it. So, I want to compare notes with you.

00:23:12.180 So, you know, one of the moments which is very important is 1970s when the Shah of

00:23:21.180 when the shah of iran uh the shah of iran and his analysis his uh alliance with the united

00:23:27.820 states is considered sort of the pinnacle of dictatorship of dictator dictatorial islam on

00:23:33.820 the one side and uh capitalism american capitalism uh for the sake of oil and so this is a great uh

00:23:41.340 you know story they want to topple this the leftists want to topple it right and some of these

00:23:46.060 left is so i just want to clarify so what he's saying here is when he's talking about the you

00:23:53.940 know the shah's the shah of iran's alliance with the united states and how that's like the epitome

00:23:58.820 of like dictatorial whatever um that's the narrative that the islamists and the communists

00:24:05.740 were putting out there right so whenever you hear the jihadis and the communists claim that the shah

00:24:11.980 was a dictator. They say that because of their anti-imperialist rhetoric and narrative. The

00:24:19.820 Shah was actually not a dictator. In fact, Iran was incredibly free. It was modern. It was secular.

00:24:27.580 The only thing that was actually banned, the only thing that was banned in Iran under the Shah

00:24:34.220 was communism and islamism why because the shah recognized that both communism and islamism are a

00:24:42.980 threat to western modern civilized uh democracies right in fact iran was a constitutional monarchy

00:24:52.160 we had a parliament um there was you know 100 religious freedom and uh yeah communism was

00:24:59.460 banned. And what's interesting is that only recently, just a few months ago, various countries

00:25:06.400 in Europe passed legislation banning communism as well, because they recognized the threat that

00:25:15.080 communism poses to Western democratic society. So I just wanted to point that out as well here.

00:25:22.280 So again, the rhetoric and the narrative of the Shah being a dictator is 100% false.

00:25:28.540 um it's been completely debunked and if you want more information on that

00:25:33.200 uh go and take a look at my my live streams where i talk about

00:25:58.540 Thank you.

00:26:28.540 Thank you.

00:26:58.540 Thank you.

00:27:28.540 Hello? Hello? Hello? Testing? Can you guys hear me? Can you, can you hear me now? Hello?

00:27:52.580 Hello? Okay. Oh, that was bizarre. Okay. I just, I had a random mic issue. Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry

00:28:04.460 about that. Okay. Wow. Okay. Thank you. Thank you for letting me know, guys. Okay. Great. Sorry

00:28:16.560 about that. Okay. So, um, like I was saying, like I was saying, um, if you want to learn

00:28:23.080 about the 1979 Islamic revolution, and if you want to understand how the communists

00:28:31.120 and the Islamists pushed propaganda in order to justify, um, taking over Iran, you want to go to

00:28:40.000 my youtube um web page and you scroll down to uh so it's it's my playlist it's my playlist called

00:28:49.600 iranians rate documentaries about iran and go to the first one here so the first one um 1979

00:28:58.960 islamic revolution the last persian shah it has a rating of three out of ten um the the the

00:29:05.920 documentary itself is about one hour long and i provide three hours of commentary so

00:29:12.880 uh to learn more about what actually caused the um islamic uh uh republic to you know take over

00:29:22.560 go and take a look at that but everything that you think you know you think you know about the

00:29:26.400 shah and the shah being a dictator it's literally all nonsense it's all propaganda it's all bs

00:29:31.920 Yes. Unfortunately, there's a lot of, you know, jihadis and communists and anti imperialists who like to push the narrative that the Shah was a dictator. But Iranians like they don't care. In fact, 80% of Iranians want the Shah to return. We know the truth. And I'm not going to like, you know, constantly defend that. But I have made videos about it in the past. And I will continue to make videos about that in the future. So keep an eye out for that.

00:30:00.540 But yeah, good. Like, just check out this playlist if you if you want to learn more about that.

00:30:06.600 Someone oh, someone said what I think of Rita Panahi.

00:30:09.420 I love I love Rita Panahi. She's amazing.

00:30:12.620 She's interviewed me a few times. So, yeah, she's fantastic.

00:30:17.120 To the person who asked me what I think about the the IDF, the IDF is fantastic.

00:30:21.820 I'm a big supporter of the IDF and everything they do.

00:30:25.140 All right. Let's get back to the show.

00:30:27.580 And some of them are in France. And of course, the Islamic mullahs want to topple it.

00:30:34.580 Because Shah Afiran is a bad guy. So, there is a common enemy.

00:30:40.580 There is a common enemy there. And the term Islamo-leftism gets in circulation.

00:30:46.580 And according to the wikipedia article, it's of Persian origin, this kind of term.

00:30:52.580 it's of Persian origin, this kind of term. There was a Persian equivalent and then

00:30:57.580 became known as Islamofascism. So it seems that one of the starting points was the

00:31:03.580 Iranian revolution which brought these two anti-capitalism, anti-US forces together.

00:31:11.580 Common enemy. Common enemy, that's one thing. And then the other thing is that

00:31:17.580 France became a place where a lot of Muslim immigrants were going. So the

00:31:26.880 left had lost, it was losing its traditional constituency which is the

00:31:32.980 proletariat, the poor people, the white masses. They were no longer into this

00:31:37.820 communism and all that because of forces of you know capitalism, free market,

00:31:43.420 other kinds of politics in france um so canadian says turkish jadids formed the young turks then

00:31:52.240 committed the armenian genocide turk sank uyghur is a progressive and named his channel young

00:31:59.280 turks yeah it's actually kind of sick how um he named his channel after a group that committed

00:32:06.280 genocide and um i actually i've been meaning to make a video about the armenian genocide as well

00:32:11.920 In fact, a lot of Armenians came to Iran and found refuge in Iran during the Armenian genocide.

00:32:22.360 And yeah, I think it's disgusting that there's a show called The Young Turks.

00:32:25.960 I mean, that's like the equivalent of like naming a show, I don't know, The Young Nazis or something.

00:32:31.480 Like it's just the reference there, the reference to the Armenian genocide is kind of disgusting.

00:32:41.920 So the left started looking at immigrants as a source of power, as a source of their sustenance.

00:32:51.920 Because there weren't enough born white French people who were following them.

00:32:57.920 So this alliance also has that component in it.

00:33:01.920 That Muslim immigrants into France were easy to collaborate with from the left side.

00:33:09.920 As far as the Muslims are concerned, the Muslims found that the leftists were easier to deal with.

00:33:17.920 They were more open to talk about them because they were also talking about

00:33:22.920 oppressor, oppression and Islam is full of this idea of victimhood.

00:33:27.920 This idea that you have to overthrow something. So, and one more interpretation

00:33:34.920 One more interpretation that I read quite a lot is that the leftists found that

00:33:39.920 Islam can be turned into violence. And they learned that in the

00:33:45.920 Iranian revolution. And they learned that it can, it lends itself, it has the ingredients in itself to,

00:33:52.920 because there is this idea of revolution there. And the leftists also have this idea of revolution.

00:33:57.920 So each side started thinking they are going to use the other.

00:34:02.920 The Muslims had this dictator Shah and they wanted to overthrow him. They didn't have the means to do it and they need somebody else to help them.

00:34:15.920 And lo and behold this somebody else is the left that also hates America. So it's interesting.

00:34:20.920 And they feel that they are using the left to help spread Islam. That the left will help them dismantle the order, the existing order and then it will pave the way for Islam.

00:34:31.920 But the left has its own ideas that they're using the Muslims as useful idiots,

00:34:36.920 some of them call, that we're using these guys to overthrow and create problems

00:34:41.920 and revolutionize and all that and they'll kill each other.

00:34:44.920 But in the end we'll have a kind of a world order of communism or left kind of stuff.

00:34:52.920 They each think they'll prevail.

00:34:54.920 Each thinks that we're kind of using the other as a tactical thing.

00:35:00.920 What do you think of this artificial alliance that these two brought about?

00:35:06.920 Yeah, I think about the faces of the women of Iran who were living before the mullahs came in 1979 and took power.

00:35:17.920 They were women who were living like I am with their hair free, walking freely in society.

00:35:24.920 society. And unfortunately, in that movement, they aligned with the Islamists, as we call

00:35:32.300 them. We call the Muslims Muslims, like my father and my mother, who practice Islam in

00:35:37.980 their private life. And then we have this new term of the Islamists, right? Muslims who

00:35:43.020 believe in political Islam, who believe in theocracy. So there was the Ayatollah Khomeini

00:35:49.240 living in Paris, sending his propaganda to the world. And unfortunately, the feminists and the

00:35:57.640 leftists, they fell for this alliance. And they were the first ones to become shackled and executed

00:36:04.680 and murdered by the theocrats. Because who won? The Muslim theocrats won. And now, how many years

00:36:13.700 four decades later, the society still lives with the Muslim extremists.

00:36:20.700 So the question here is, Islam had its own feminist movement at the time.

00:36:27.700 That's what you are referring to, in Iran and places like that.

00:36:30.700 Yes, in India, in Pakistan. But the left betrayed that.

00:36:36.700 Yeah. So that's an interesting point that has to be,

00:36:40.700 Has the left faced this and confronted it and acknowledged that they, in the name of this alliance with Islam, actually the people who got slaughtered were the women?

00:36:53.700 Yeah, the women were slaughtered. And then they too were slaughtered. Because nobody is safe.

00:36:59.700 And so they were making a deal, like you said, thinking that they would be the final victors.

00:37:06.700 victors but they are still imprisoned or dead now what's happened today four decades later is that

00:37:15.420 the women of iran are fighting for very simple ideas woman life freedom zan zindigy azadi

00:37:23.980 and those principles have been betrayed by the far left and not only the far left but liberals

00:37:33.260 and democrats in the united states i mean we're actually fighting for more than that we're

00:37:37.820 fighting for more than women life freedom um we're fighting to just overthrow the regime and in fact

00:37:44.940 the the more popular slogan now um has become job which means long live the king and um you know

00:37:53.420 So that translates to, this is the last battle, Pahlavi will return.

00:38:01.300 So the movement has changed, the movement has grown.

00:38:06.960 Today, Iranians in an occupied Iran, they're not chanting Zan Zendigi Azadi anymore.

00:38:13.300 It's gone beyond that.

00:38:15.220 They are instead chanting, long live the king.

00:38:18.060 We want the king to return.

00:38:19.500 We want Pahlavi to return.

00:38:21.400 Um, so, I mean, that's, that's what's actually happening. Um, this interview is from 2023. So

00:38:30.360 that's why, um, she's still referring to woman life freedom, but you know, a lot has changed

00:38:36.740 in the last two years and I have, you know, put up videos and I've shown videos. I'm actually

00:38:42.100 making another video today, um, where I'm going to be showing the anti-Islam demonstrations

00:38:48.220 happening in occupied Iran

00:38:50.180 and the fact that Iranians

00:38:52.520 are calling for their king

00:38:54.560 to return to Iran.

00:38:56.320 So I just wanted to contextualize

00:38:58.640 that because this interview

00:39:00.500 is from almost two years ago

00:39:02.680 or over two years ago.

00:39:04.960 Because

00:39:05.720 they have perpetuated

00:39:08.680 this unholy alliance.

00:39:10.860 So the

00:39:11.480 alliance with

00:39:13.160 orthodox Islam

00:39:15.520 takes precedence

00:39:17.600 over liberalism's honest, true, claimed ideas that they have claimed.

00:39:26.600 They've compromised. It means there's a hypocrisy.

00:39:28.600 Such a hypocrisy.

00:39:30.060 Like I came to the United States at a young age, at the age of four,

00:39:34.280 and I lived during the feminist movement.

00:39:38.100 I absorbed the very important principles of classic liberalism,

00:39:42.880 free speech, women's rights, equal rights, human rights,

00:39:47.040 such simple ideas oh so i just want to share um another really important chant um gandalf he's

00:39:55.360 not a member but gandalf is um in occupied iran always great to have gandalf here um so always

00:40:01.200 great for our viewers to hear from you know iranians in occupied iran and you're absolutely

00:40:06.400 right so another popular chant is a shah iran bagyard by iran which means oh shah of iran

00:40:13.520 returned to iran so 100 right that's another one well the orthodoxy in islam does not believe

00:40:22.080 in any of those ideas they believe in blasphemy laws they believe in the lock the lock the lock

00:40:28.320 three declarations of i divorce you and a man is divorced from a woman they do not believe that

00:40:36.160 a non-muslim is equal to a muslim you know so these are such fundamental violations of

00:40:42.400 of classic liberal ideas. But in my lifetime in the United States,

00:40:49.400 I have been so disappointed watching the left and even liberals and now

00:40:56.400 even the Democratic Party abandon these ideas when it comes to the Muslim establishment.

00:41:03.400 So let's come to that. Yeah, let's discuss this in detail. I want to roll back now.

00:41:09.400 Now we discussed the rise of this left and Islam alliance in Europe.

00:41:16.400 Now let's talk about the United States also. I think the United States undergoes something very interesting,

00:41:21.400 which few people realize, and that is Marxism arrives here after World War II.

00:41:26.400 Because of Mark Hughes, Herbert Mark Hughes and people like that.

00:41:30.400 And previously Marxism was economic. It was talking about haves and have-nots based on economic categories.

00:41:37.400 categories, not race and not religion. And so what they did in the United States is

00:41:42.400 they found out that Americans do not want to fight capitalism and free market

00:41:47.400 and the economic argument doesn't work. So they reincarnated, reinvented, put Marxism

00:41:52.400 in a new bottle with a new packaging and they turned it into race, haves and have-nots.

00:41:58.400 So this is actually a very big turning point which stays underground for a while.

00:42:04.400 for a while yeah so critical legal studies starts between 1977 and 82 in places like harvard yeah in

00:42:12.560 a very serious way and and this is the study of american law as being unjust and biased towards

00:42:20.080 blacks against blacks and so on with a lot of merit a lot of good points they made which i

00:42:24.960 sympathize with and this business about the how the from the very origins of the united states

00:42:31.520 There is a sort of white supremacy built into structures and these structures are

00:42:35.520 hidden. They are not always visible. And so, the invisibility of white supremacy

00:42:41.520 is part of this whole thing. And then this turns into critical race theory.

00:42:46.520 Now, this is all Marxism because it deals with oppressors versus oppressed.

00:42:52.520 It deals with grand narratives that have to be deconstructed. It deals with

00:42:56.520 It deals with thesis and antithesis. There is no compromise you have to destroy.

00:43:02.520 It is total dismantlement. All that is part of the Marxist view being expressed

00:43:08.520 but now in terms of race. So now it gives the anti-racism a very

00:43:14.520 intellectually respectable theory, a theoretical framework. Now it is no longer just activists doing things.

00:43:20.520 But there is a theory behind it. You can teach it in universities, you can get PhDs,

00:43:24.520 professors in Harvard and all that were into this area. So now this respectability

00:43:29.520 of critical race theory in academic circles becomes important. But it remains

00:43:34.520 academic until George Floyd. And then that really erupts the whole thing.

00:43:40.520 Because now everybody is sympathetic. And so this sympathy for the plight of the

00:43:46.520 blacks is a big opening and that door opens and in comes this whole critical

00:43:52.520 And in comes this whole critical race theory to kind of come up with a theoretical foundation to explain all this.

00:43:59.520 And America buys it, it starts getting taught everywhere, the media takes over.

00:44:04.520 So this is sort of a very interesting thing, the Marxist takeover of America.

00:44:11.520 Now this is particularly important. There are certain seeds being planted during the Obama administration,

00:44:16.520 which is before Floyd. And you should talk about it. And also the Democratic Party get hijacked.

00:44:23.520 The whole Democratic Party, the progressive wing, which is what's running the show now,

00:44:29.520 has turned into this and what is popularly called woke.

00:44:33.520 And so while you've got this Marxism becoming hijacked and used with different goals and objectives in the United States,

00:44:44.520 you have another parallel movement happening and you know my father came to America in the 1960s

00:44:52.020 and so did many other Muslims my father refused government funding from overseas from governments

00:44:59.340 like Saudi Arabia Qatar later even Pakistan interesting yeah but many did not and they were

00:45:08.000 coming from muslim organizations with names like tablighi jamaa you know the missionaries

00:45:15.840 the ikhwan muslimin the muslim brotherhood these government these these uh muslims who believe

00:45:23.200 in political islam who believe in an islam that should run the country an islam where the law of

00:45:31.120 of the land should be Islamic.

00:45:33.740 And that was the 1980s

00:45:37.840 as critical race theory is developing.

00:45:40.220 These men establish organizations in the United States,

00:45:45.560 an entire network.

00:45:47.580 I live in Northern Virginia.

00:45:49.440 They started an entire hub at this building

00:45:53.780 at 500 Grove Street in Herndon, Virginia.

00:45:57.520 And there they created this alphabet soup

00:46:00.500 organizations with names like Islamic Society of North America, Muslim Students

00:46:05.740 Association, Council on American Islamic Relations. But the thing is, these

00:46:11.420 Muslims were practicing an interpretation of Islam that was not

00:46:15.960 very compatible with liberal ideas. And I have one example for you. Please. Okay. So

00:46:21.980 I want to show you what I grew up with. Okay. Okay. This was the Islam, while we've

00:46:27.020 got critical race theory emerging. This is the Islam. This is an actual Quran that was

00:46:33.260 brought to my hometown mosque in Morgantown, West Virginia. So I'm going to show you. First,

00:46:40.120 this is Surat al-Fatihah. Okay, let me read it. Okay, great. Read it. Okay. This is not

00:46:46.060 the first time I've read the Quran, by the way. Okay. I have a copy of the Quran, Princeton

00:46:49.760 University Press. That's right. That's right. I don't know whether you agree with it or

00:46:54.720 But they are considered a Princeton University Press production. And I read it from time to time to understand.

00:47:01.720 So this is all the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the Alamin, the most

00:47:08.720 beneficent, the most merciful, the only owner of the day of recompose.

00:47:15.720 You alone we worship and you alone we ask for help. Guide us to the straight way.

00:47:21.720 And can I just stop you for a second? Because I just want to stop on that sentence because my mother taught me this chapter.

00:47:28.720 This is the first chapter that we learn as Muslim children. And what a nice idea, right?

00:47:33.720 Guide us on the straight way. Simple idea. What parent doesn't want to teach that to children, right?

00:47:38.720 So, it's a very universal concept. Okay, but keep reading now.

00:47:43.720 But I want to ask you. So, it says that you alone we worship. Now the word alone means exclusivity.

00:47:50.720 So now the question is, the huge billion dollar question is, when I worship Krishna, is it the same entity or not?

00:48:02.720 And then can I ask you this? When you look at that, how is alone in there?

00:48:09.720 You alone is in parenthesis. But that means that it is available for interpretation.

00:48:15.720 So you can put it there or not put it there. And they have put it there.

00:48:19.720 They put it there. So the fact that a large interpretation of Islam throughout its history has claimed Allah and Allah alone.

00:48:31.020 Right. So the question is, is Krishna and Allah, is Allah just a new name? Because Krishna is much older.

00:48:36.380 Right. Or is it punishable? Or is it not? Right. If is it not and is it then, I mean.

00:48:44.280 it's kind of like veering away from the topic of communism now so i mean i hope they kind of get

00:48:50.680 back on track here because like when it gets to the theological parts of it that that's just like

00:48:56.600 i'm not interested in that i'm more interested in the practical aspects of it when it comes to

00:49:02.120 to the unholy alliance between islamism and communism so maybe maybe they'll get back on

00:49:07.400 When you go into the most illiberal of ideas, is it something that ISIS can justifiably kill somebody who does not practice it?

00:49:17.400 Well, the issue of what to be done comes later. The first issue is, is it the same or not?

00:49:24.400 Because if you are worshipping Allah and I am worshipping Krishna and we are both worshipping the one person who is the supreme person.

00:49:34.400 but you call him Allah and I call him Krishna. If these are different, then the question comes what to do about…

00:49:43.400 And so we know that oftentimes the Muslim apologists will say, oh, you know, the monotheistic religions at least,

00:49:52.400 we all come from the same Abraham, right? So let's make it even simpler, your question.

00:49:57.400 And let's say, does you alone even include Jews and Christians? Let's ask that as a first question.

00:50:03.400 That's a much simpler question. But mine is more complex.

00:50:07.400 Not only is it non-Abrahamic, but the description of Krishna is not the same at all.

00:50:14.400 And then you add to it not only Krishna, but Durga.

00:50:19.400 Innumerable forms of the one. Innumerable forms and intelligences and shaktis

00:50:25.400 that are all characteristic of that one. So we have a very profound theology

00:50:31.400 which says that ultimate reality is of course one, but it has a whole lot of forms and

00:50:36.400 manifestations and different ones appeal to different people. And you could be

00:50:41.400 connected with a particular one and I could be connected with a different one.

00:50:44.400 There is nothing wrong with it. So the way this lends itself is for a radical

00:50:51.400 person to dismiss me as being illegitimate.

00:50:54.400 Exactly. That's what they allow here. Now let's keep reading.

00:50:57.400 So now it's going to get very interesting for you. So there you are and you've said that you alone we worship and then keep going.

00:51:06.400 And you alone we ask for help for each and everything. Guide us to the straight way.

00:51:10.400 Great. So the way of those on whom you have bestowed your grace.

00:51:18.400 right yeah okay now let's turn the page and done done what does it say not not

00:51:27.580 the way off and the way is again in parentheses so they've added it those

00:51:39.160 who earned your anger period that's it those who earned your anger that's how

00:51:45.220 it ends okay okay but now what have they added such as the jews there you go not of those who

00:51:52.900 went astray such as the christians they added them and how is such as the jews in parentheses

00:51:59.540 how is such as the christian but also the hindus and the buddhist um dormant when non-muslims get

00:52:07.140 persecuted why are these human rights organizations silent but when something happens to muslims they

00:52:13.380 they cry Islamophobia, etc. Yeah, that's a very, very good question. Yeah, why is that? Why is it

00:52:21.520 that you never hear about non-Muslims who are being persecuted and murdered by Muslims in the

00:52:30.140 mainstream media? I mean, it's a very good question. I don't have an answer for that.

00:52:34.960 It's something that we Iranians have been struggling with for the last 47 years because

00:52:40.160 we have been um we've literally being murdered on a daily basis by the islamic dictatorship

00:52:46.560 you know in the name of allah and islam and jihad and you you know don't usually hear about that

00:52:51.920 um in in the media in fact what you what you get instead is that when we iranians call it out

00:52:59.440 we're accused of islamophobia and spreading hate for literally exposing that we are being murdered

00:53:05.840 under sharia law it's it's the the world is upside down these days that's why i said everybody else

00:53:14.400 that's why i said you don't even mention the complex question of the hindus and the buddhists

00:53:19.920 they can't even accept the christians this koran i got this literal koran from my mosque in

00:53:26.960 morgantown west virginia because the saudi government had sent suitcases of this koran

00:53:33.840 Now, I told you the Saudi government, I gave you a clue.

00:53:37.840 So, what is clever, what is clever is this use of parentheses, so that when you get in trouble,

00:53:44.840 the Saudi guy who is teaching all this can say, oh no, no, no, the parentheses, you don't worry about it.

00:53:49.840 But then when the cameras are not there, or when the westerners are not looking,

00:53:55.840 and he has the audience of his own people, he can radicalize them by including what's in the parentheses.

00:54:01.840 So you can include the parentheses, radical idea, exclusivity idea, hate idea, or you can exclude it by saying it's parenthetical when you want to be politically correct.

00:54:13.160 Yeah, and that's how they fool the left and the liberals.

00:54:15.920 So is this called al-taqiyah? You know what al-taqiyah is?

00:54:20.140 Yes, I do know what it is. And al-taqiyah is deception.

00:54:23.220 Deception that basically says that when you are in a minority or when you are on the back foot, then use Al-Takiyah to be very nice.

00:54:33.200 Yeah, it is, it is. And we have to be honest about that. And that's why I think it's really important to walk around with this Quran and say this is a part of our problem.

00:54:45.460 and it is actually a blasphemy in my eyes

00:54:52.100 to put this interpretation out in the world.

00:54:55.240 And you can see here, who is it coming from?

00:54:58.080 What's the city?

00:54:58.800 Al-

00:54:59.400 Madi-

00:55:01.460 Madi-

00:55:01.860 Madi-

00:55:02.560 Madi-na.

00:55:03.560 Madi-na, okay.

00:55:04.280 So this is coming literally from the government of Saudi Arabia

00:55:07.860 and they call it the Noble Quran, right?

00:55:11.040 So this is just-

00:55:12.560 And it's by this professor-

00:55:14.760 Right.

00:55:15.080 somewhere phd this islamic faith and teaching islamic islamic university etc so this is such

00:55:21.800 an illiberal idea and this is one in which this alphabet soup of organizations they were accepting

00:55:29.480 they have been accepting money from these governments that have been putting these very

00:55:33.800 illiberal ideas and we know this like our common sense we see that women were not allowed to drive

00:55:39.720 in saudi arabia for so many years uh somebody can come from india and be a laborer but are they

00:55:46.360 allowed citizenship you know are they're denied fundamental human rights and then women do not

00:55:53.640 get the equal rights so i want to ask you is it true that the surahs written in mecca

00:56:02.840 and the ones written in Madinah are different in the sense that one are really beautiful love for humanity and so on and the other are about warfare.

00:56:14.840 It is true. And is it that because in one situation Muhammad faced enemies, he needed to organize people, make a military training out of it,

00:56:26.840 kind of a military doctrine yeah for fighting purposes and in the other case he was more

00:56:32.760 uh the things were peaceful around there was nobody to fight and so there was more about

00:56:37.800 harmony within yeah is that is that reasonable yeah so but it was there in mecca that prophet

00:56:44.280 muhammad was first doing his proselytizing so he needed to have a attractive religion

00:56:52.120 um narungo thank you for keeping us well informed thank you so much thank you for the support

00:56:56.840 Um, guys, I'm actually, um, just preparing another video to share with you. That's going to talk more about the unholy alliance between Islamism and communism. And that relates specifically to Iran because I'm just taking a look at this video and it seems like, um, only the first like 10, 10, 15 minutes was, uh, about, um, the unholy alliance of Islamism and communism.

00:57:25.820 And then, of course, they were speaking about Iran, because that's like the big example here. So I don't think I don't think they're going to be talking about that anymore, which is unfortunate, because this, this, like, this interview is literally titled Rise of the Islamic Leftist Unholy Alliance.

00:57:48.160 So I thought that the whole thing was going to be about that. But it's it's obviously not here.

00:57:55.820 So, um, I'm just getting that, that document or sorry, that video prepared so I can share that

00:58:05.340 with you. But, um, let's see here how long that's going to take. Okay. We're still working on that,

00:58:16.800 but a lot of you, well, so while we're waiting for, while we're waiting for that, um, that video

00:58:23.640 to get ready i was thinking that perhaps we could because a lot of you have been asking me to do this

00:58:33.400 so while we're waiting for that video to get ready maybe what i'll do is i will play

00:58:41.080 tulsi gabbard's warning against islamist ideology let me see how long it's going to take for that

00:58:46.680 video yeah that video is going to take a while to to get actually wait let me see if i have it

00:58:54.440 in my downloads already give me one moment guys um i might have it let's see here

00:59:04.040 here. Oh, here we go. Oh, yeah. Okay. Let's see if this is the video. Oh, perfect. Okay.

00:59:26.860 All right. I have it. I have it. So let me just cancel that. Okay. So I'm going to pull

00:59:32.260 up um another video that speaks about the unholy alliance between the red and the black and it

00:59:44.420 explains exactly what was what was going on and what happened in um in occupied iran and how

00:59:54.500 communism and islamism worked together to destabilize iran and that's exactly what's

01:00:04.100 happening right now in western countries okay here we go

01:00:14.340 who are iranians what do they say what do they think what are they capable of

01:00:18.180 so this gentleman he is the current shah of iran in exile this is reza pahlavi the second

01:00:25.720 he is the leader of the iranian national opposition and he is supported by like at

01:00:34.000 least 80 percent of iranians in iran and around the world so he's going to break it down perfectly

01:00:39.860 for all of you exactly what happened in in occupied iran who are iranians what do they

01:00:47.460 say? What do they think? What are they capable of? Why revolution? Who do you believe was behind it?

01:00:52.940 The CIA, the Russians, the Marxists. I've heard all kinds of theories. I really believe that if

01:00:58.680 the revolution had not happened, Iran should be by now South Korea of the Middle East.

01:01:03.400 Instead of becoming the North Korea. The new Iran. What does that look like? There is a positive note

01:01:09.020 to it. America might say, well, we want to leave them alone. They won't leave you alone. It has to

01:01:13.640 be declawed? If not now, when? How many more generations have to be sacrificed?

01:01:18.640 Your Highness Crown Prince of Iran, welcome to PragerU. It is a great honor to have you here.

01:01:25.720 I'm very glad to be here today and talk to you and be on your program. Thank you for inviting me.

01:01:30.920 Well, this is going to be a fascinating conversation and I have many questions for you,

01:01:35.460 but I actually want to start by doing something that I typically don't do at the beginning of

01:01:40.240 an interview, and that is to thank you. I will surely thank you at the end, but I feel like

01:01:46.500 you deserve a thank you from many of my Iranian friends who I have here living in the United

01:01:53.360 States who expressed to me that you have given them so much hope. Not only have you given them

01:02:01.060 hope that things will get better in Iran in your country, but you've also been the embodiment of

01:02:08.360 what Iranians are really. And for many Americans living in the United States, especially of my

01:02:15.400 generation and younger, our experience with Iran has been terrorism and killing and death and

01:02:23.480 terrible human rights abuses and, you know, the treatment of women and what we've heard has

01:02:29.880 happened to young women like Masha Amini. And so when we hear about that regime in Iran and we

01:02:37.500 associate all of that evil. It's been a blessing to us to know people like you and like the

01:02:45.380 Iranians who do live here in the United States, who, in my opinion, are some of the most reasonable

01:02:51.560 people I know. They're incredibly kind. They're incredibly warm. Best food ever. Almost all of

01:02:58.180 them are successful entrepreneur, totally rational people. And I just have such a huge

01:03:05.400 love for the Iranian people that reconciling the huge difference between the Iranians that I know

01:03:12.880 and people like you versus the Iranians that I hear about in the Middle East,

01:03:18.980 I have a great sense of gratitude to people like you who've really held up what Iranians are about.

01:03:29.380 And so I just want to start by just saying thank you. Thank you for everything you've already done.

01:03:35.400 Well, I'm just doing my job and it's my duty to serve the best interests of my compatriots by at least being their voice to begin with and hopefully then some.

01:03:44.380 And you have been. For people who know very little about Iran, the more you study Persia and the region, the more actually fascinating it becomes because that region has given birth to so many different societies, I guess, in some ways.

01:04:03.680 it's can you can you describe to us what um i just wanted to point out um how hilarious i find it

01:04:11.880 that trolls think that if they put a super chat um where you know they're promoting the islamic

01:04:18.860 dictatorship as if somehow that's gonna like come on just magically magically appear on my live

01:04:24.340 stream i mean you are obviously um an idiot and a troll and i just find it hilarious that you're

01:04:30.220 wasting your money trying to troll and it's not working. But I mean, I guess, thank you for

01:04:34.760 supporting my channel. Poyande Iran, Javitsha.

01:04:38.500 What has happened over, let's say, the last hundred years or so since your grandfather

01:04:44.280 became the ruler and then your father and what happened with you and why did you end up in exile?

01:04:52.980 Actually, when you look at the legacy, the way people now look upon what my grandfather and

01:04:59.720 my father did as the architect of modern Iran, in fact, they call my family the Iran building

01:05:05.960 family, demonstrates that the view was how we can bring Iran from the sort of underdeveloped

01:05:14.740 country where most people were uneducated, illiterate to a country that in the 70s was

01:05:20.720 thriving, had a strong economy, Iranians were educating themselves for coming back to Iran

01:05:27.120 to bring in whatever was necessary in terms of development and infrastructure.

01:05:31.820 So I think it's really in the last 100 years,

01:05:34.200 because my grandfather stepped into the scene

01:05:35.840 towards the second quarter of the 20th century, 1926 more or less.

01:05:41.060 I also just want to point out for everyone watching,

01:05:44.000 I have actually done a live stream in the past

01:05:49.340 with this particular interview,

01:05:52.680 and I've gone over it and I've broken it down in detail.

01:05:56.340 let me just pull that up for you here so you guys can go back um if you want to to reference this

01:06:02.900 because a lot of the things he's saying right now like i pause and i go through it and i provide you

01:06:08.520 know facts and proof and evidence right so if you want to see this particular um this particular

01:06:16.220 live stream it's in two parts so just go to want to see this go to um the goalie show

01:06:22.880 and you're going to scroll down and where is it it is wait

01:06:37.320 where would I have that let me just find it

01:06:42.940 I had it here

01:06:49.840 there's a prig or you one no

01:06:57.660 let me see here we go so it's king rizal pahlavi is ready for regime change part two

01:07:07.960 and then here you go so if you want to watch the full um interview where i live stream it

01:07:16.360 and I speak about what he's saying, like I literally pause and then I fact check and I

01:07:21.620 provide documents and evidence, um, go back and you could watch it in its entirely. So

01:07:27.320 entirety King is a Pahlavi Iran is ready for regime change. That's part one. And then this

01:07:32.980 is part two here. The only reason that I'm playing this video now is because I just want to get to

01:07:38.680 the part where he talks about how the unholy alliance of the red and the black islamism and

01:07:47.760 communism worked together to destabilize iran back in the 70s and how we are seeing that same pattern

01:07:56.720 again today in western countries so that's just a little bit of context there all right let's

01:08:02.300 continue um you know he served first as the commander of the army he was prime minister and

01:08:07.680 And then he was prompted into the scene as a result of the previous dynasty, sort of

01:08:13.380 like shying away from carrying their responsibilities.

01:08:17.580 And he was called upon to step in and sort of literally take over power.

01:08:22.300 And in fact, my grandfather wanted to first establish a republic in Iran based on the

01:08:28.160 model of Ataturk that he admired a lot next door in Turkey.

01:08:32.840 And interestingly enough, the clerics at the time and many of the people in the Iranian

01:08:38.280 sort of elite were saying, it won't work here.

01:08:41.920 You should crown yourself as the next king and form the new dynasty, which is what he

01:08:46.880 did.

01:08:47.880 So that's how it all started.

01:08:50.040 And so for about 50 years, the Pahlavi dynasty was in place until we reached a point where

01:08:55.080 the revolution happened.

01:08:56.080 And I'm sure we'll have a chance to talk about that.

01:08:58.600 So I think Iran really began to flourish when we started, especially post-Second World War,

01:09:08.160 where we were able to start producing our oil and selling it at a higher price.

01:09:11.920 We created enough revenue so you can start really spending it on copious projects of

01:09:18.280 modernization, development, factories, dams, roads, schools, everything that was needed.

01:09:24.620 And that's how we started getting some traction, and Iranians, at the time of my grandfather,

01:09:30.080 Iran's income per capita was around $400.

01:09:34.080 Towards the end, it was over $2,800, and it was sort of like really increasing.

01:09:39.660 And so I think people saw that Iran is progressively on track for development, for prosperity,

01:09:45.060 for people's lives improving at every level.

01:09:49.820 But I think the most important element that especially now in contrast to where Iran was

01:09:55.360 and what is under this regime is how much was done, especially for the women in Iran.

01:10:02.040 And that would really happen at the time of my father.

01:10:05.000 Of course, my grandfather was the first one to say that people should be free to wear

01:10:10.700 the veil or not, the hijab issue.

01:10:13.180 And of course, he led by example by having his own daughters go out in public without

01:10:17.920 wearing it.

01:10:18.920 I just wanted to give a shout out to my mom.

01:10:22.680 She's in the chat.

01:10:23.560 Hi, Momon, I love you too.

01:10:25.460 Hope you're having fun.

01:10:30.680 And that was one way to liberate women

01:10:32.620 from having to be castigated into that.

01:10:36.180 And the symbolism of it is so obvious

01:10:37.760 because even when Massa happened a year ago,

01:10:40.120 you see how much that is a symbol of where we were.

01:10:44.880 And women were integrated in all form or shape

01:10:48.280 into not just members of society,

01:10:51.220 but actual participant in governance.

01:10:54.040 Iranian women achieved suffrage

01:10:55.800 four years before the women in Switzerland did.

01:10:59.220 There were family laws to protect families

01:11:01.700 and women's rights.

01:11:03.140 They were given opportunities to become ministers,

01:11:05.960 judges, even serving the armed forces.

01:11:08.740 It was a completely different situation

01:11:12.300 as opposed to what this regime has done

01:11:14.340 and turn them into second-class citizens.

01:11:16.160 So I think that's a little bit of modern history of where Iran started to go.

01:11:20.480 And I really believe that if the revolution had not happened, Iran should be by now, if

01:11:26.160 not the second Japan of the Middle East, but at least the South Korea of the Middle East.

01:11:30.660 Not the North Korea.

01:11:31.940 The North Korea.

01:11:33.000 So it's not the people that have changed or our resources being depleted.

01:11:38.240 It's just the nature of the regime.

01:11:40.280 And in fact, I'd like to take the opportunity, since you talk about Iran and Iranians, we

01:11:44.800 feel sometimes very

01:11:46.780 frustrated where whenever

01:11:48.740 something happens

01:11:49.740 media or political

01:11:52.820 leaders say Iran did this, Iran

01:11:54.840 did that. I will urge

01:11:56.900 you to help us correct that

01:11:58.800 by saying this is not Iran and Iranians.

01:12:01.000 This is the regime in Iran. So it's the

01:12:02.760 Islamic regime, not the Iranian people.

01:12:04.800 That's one way to distinguish the

01:12:06.660 aspiration of Iranians from

01:12:08.780 the doing of the regime.

01:12:11.240 That perception by itself

01:12:12.880 is important.

01:12:14.800 At the beginning, especially when the hostages were taken in the American embassy in Tehran,

01:12:19.780 and of course Khomeini had just hit the scene, I remember during that time leading to the

01:12:24.460 revolution, I was still in Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock, Texas, and I can already

01:12:30.060 see that sense of hostility against Iranians who had no fault whatsoever just to be Iranian.

01:12:37.120 My own wife, who was studying in school in the Bay Area, was beaten up by some of her

01:12:42.400 classmates just because she was an Iranian, but I think we have come a long way.

01:12:46.880 I think many Iranians, especially those living in the United States and for Americans who

01:12:51.720 have interacted, example yourself, with Iranians by now should know the difference between

01:12:58.260 what actually Iranians believe or think as opposed to what the regime is projecting as

01:13:02.560 being something that is totally alien to us in terms of values, in terms of beliefs, in

01:13:08.520 in terms of principles and that's where all the problems started and continues to exist.

01:13:14.560 You describe Iran as this prosperous economic society, right?

01:13:19.360 And the revolution happens.

01:13:21.940 If people were happy in Iran, presumably, they were doing well financially and things

01:13:27.880 were growing, why revolution?

01:13:31.340 Who do you believe was behind it?

01:13:33.280 Was it really from within or was it Carter?

01:13:36.960 Was it the UK?

01:13:38.680 Was it the fight over oil?

01:13:41.620 Was it the Russians, the Marxists?

01:13:43.500 I mean, I've heard all kinds of theories on who took Iran down and why.

01:13:49.500 And I'm curious, what do you believe is the truth?

01:13:52.340 Okay, so now this is the part where it's really important to pay attention, where he's going

01:13:58.440 to speak about this unholy alliance between communism and islamism and how they united

01:14:05.820 um in in iran in starting from the 50s actually for starting from the 50s they they united um and

01:14:14.260 it took 20 years almost 30 years to destabilize iran to the point where they were able to

01:14:22.360 take over with the support of of the west and you know jimmy carter and whatever but

01:14:28.240 But pay attention to this part.

01:14:31.640 This part is very, very important.

01:14:36.620 Also, thank you to the trolls who keep on paying me.

01:14:40.440 I mean, sure.

01:14:42.920 Thanks for wasting your money.

01:14:46.640 Well, there were two major groups that were opposed to the way Iran was,

01:14:54.280 the direction it had taken.

01:14:55.460 Everything that I explained regarding women's rights and things that were happening, the

01:15:02.540 clergy didn't look at that very favorably.

01:15:05.520 And Khomeini, in fact, started everything when my father instigated the white revolution

01:15:10.600 at the time that brought in all these elements.

01:15:12.980 He was the first one to start speaking against it and build that sort of rejection by the

01:15:17.640 Islamist or the fundamentalist there.

01:15:20.020 On the other hand, you had the Marxist forces who didn't like this rapprochement with the

01:15:24.760 West in general, and in their sort of anti-imperialist, anti-Western rhetoric, sort of partnered

01:15:32.560 with the Islamists.

01:15:34.840 And that was the root cause that brought about that moment where there were forces at play

01:15:41.000 that took it to that level of leading to this revolution.

01:15:45.160 And interestingly enough, I think that now the children of that generation who in 1957,

01:15:53.000 calendar, 57, which is 1979, for part of it, turned back to their parents and said,

01:15:59.060 what the hell were you thinking?

01:16:00.940 What was lacking?

01:16:02.460 The maximum we could argue might be that maybe in terms of political liberalization, we were

01:16:06.940 not quite there yet, but we were going in that direction.

01:16:10.480 And they were saying, well, a lot of reforms could have happened and we could have avoided

01:16:16.740 having a revolution.

01:16:19.320 But instead, we opted to bring in some cleric that we believed would be just a very benign,

01:16:26.440 sort of symbolic leader, retiring in the city of Guam and allowing for all these promised

01:16:32.040 liberties. And instead, we ended up with what we have. And by the time we realized what it was,

01:16:36.360 was too late. And contrary to that, there's been decades of insisting on bringing reform

01:16:43.320 to a regime that is irreformable.

01:16:46.140 So the sort of tragedy in all this is that the opportunity cost to Iran and Iranians

01:16:52.920 has been huge in terms of these past four and a half decades since the revolution.

01:16:59.000 However, there is a positive note to it, as crazy as it may sound.

01:17:03.980 But it is really in the sense of some of the cornerstones of liberty and justice and the

01:17:09.880 rule of law in any democracy, and that is the separation of church from state.

01:17:14.940 In other words, a secular system.

01:17:17.520 I want to emphasize this point as strongly as I can, because I think from the point of

01:17:23.880 view of Americans, when they look at the American Constitution, when they look at the fact that

01:17:27.780 Thomas Jefferson was inspired by Cyrus the Great to build in those values of human rights

01:17:32.700 and liberty into the American Bill of Rights and Constitution, there's something that has

01:17:37.520 to do with the history of our country.

01:17:39.280 And we are proud, as descendants of Cyrus, to be represented in that.

01:17:44.280 But what can we do for ourselves?

01:17:46.400 And how can we have the same system in our country?

01:17:49.940 Because a lot of people say, well, you know, Iran was a...

01:17:52.520 Sorry.

01:17:53.520 So someone in the YouTube livestream made a very, very good comment.

01:17:58.740 So they say Khomeini was sending over cassette tapes to Iran to brainwash the masses.

01:18:05.140 When he came in, he banned cassettes and music 100%.

01:18:08.340 exactly what he did. I mean, this is how the Islamists operate. They take advantage

01:18:13.280 of the freedoms given to people in modern Western civilized countries. They take advantage of those

01:18:21.240 freedoms to push and promote their radical jihadi ideology and to bring people over to their side.

01:18:27.500 And then as soon as they get into power, they ban everything. And one of the reasons that they ban

01:18:33.020 everything is because they don't want um others to do to them what they have done to others right

01:18:39.120 so so Khomeini did that um I actually remember um you know as as a child in in Iran this would

01:18:46.660 have been um I think this would have been like in in 1990 right so in 1990 um I remember like

01:18:54.960 people were buying VHS and cassette tapes on the black market um it was even illegal to own a

01:19:02.620 VHS player because the Islamic regime said that it's all haram and, you know, against Islam or

01:19:11.500 whatever. So you're absolutely, such an important comment there that, you know, the Islamic regime

01:19:18.020 banned the very thing that they used to brainwash people because they didn't want people to be able

01:19:23.920 to get the real news or to fact check, right? But thankfully now, now because of social media and

01:19:30.820 the internet, everyone in Iran knows exactly what happened and knows that 1979 was not a real

01:19:39.480 revolution. It was in fact a coup d'etat that was orchestrated by the communists and the Islamists

01:19:45.340 working together to promote their anti-imperialist, anti-Western narrative. And again, like no one,

01:19:53.120 no one in Iran says the Shah was a dictator. We know the truth. We know the truth. It's always

01:19:57.800 the non-Iranians who put out that fake news propaganda. But if you actually go and you

01:20:04.680 look at the facts, you'll see that it's the farthest thing from the truth. And yet,

01:20:10.900 these non-Iranians push that narrative. However, Iranians, we know the truth. We've woken up to

01:20:17.820 that truth. And that's why today, Iranians are calling for their Shah to return. They want to

01:20:23.780 go back to that constitutional monarchy, because now Iranians recognize and understand that

01:20:30.540 the Shah was actually protecting them from the very same savages who ended up taking

01:20:37.060 over the country in 1979.

01:20:40.180 A Muslim country, how do we deal with these religious elements, is this really what they

01:20:45.980 are?

01:20:46.980 No.

01:20:47.980 And in fact, Iran was perhaps one of the most secular countries in the region before the

01:20:54.440 revolution.

01:20:55.620 But we had to experience directly the consequences of a religious dictatorship.

01:21:01.660 It's a little bit like the Inquisition in Europe that led to Enlightenment.

01:21:05.920 And now you're talking about an Islamic Inquisition in Iran and what could happen post that.

01:21:10.500 In terms of returning to our roots and a country where different religions lived together side

01:21:16.640 by side for centuries.

01:21:17.980 Christians, Zoroastrians, Jews, Baha'is, Muslims, and we never had issues until this regime emerged.

01:21:25.040 And that's a very important lesson that Iranists had to learn the hard way, but puts us in the best possible position to navigate this challenge and land on solid grounds in the future once this regime is finally brought down.

01:21:40.640 So do you think that the people who voted for the revolution, were they duped? Is that what happened?

01:21:47.440 What were they basically tricked? Was it that the Marxist and the Islamist came together and created this new version of politicized Islam that controlled the media and lied to people and people didn't realize really what they're stepping into?

01:22:03.820 because it's almost like an oxymoron to combine Marxism with religious Islam because Marxism is

01:22:10.260 really not about religion. And so the marriage of those two seem quite bizarre, except for the

01:22:17.000 purpose of political control and corruption. And so were the Iranians basically tricked?

01:22:24.860 Was it planned that this would happen? Or is it just a terrible accident and just a very,

01:22:32.580 very unfortunate situation.

01:22:35.980 Well, you can imagine that in these four decades, ever since I was plunged into the

01:22:42.220 scene of Iranian politics and opposition politics and what have you, I had discussions

01:22:47.100 with many Iranians, including many who were the most aggressive opponents of my father's

01:22:52.820 regime, belonging to the same category of people you just described.

01:22:57.100 And in our conversation, they often said that, you know, we now realize what we didn't know then.

01:23:06.340 And most of them admit that we made a mistake.

01:23:12.180 But the truth is that it was such a frenzy.

01:23:15.520 It was such a euphoria that you could not have a rational discussion.

01:23:21.900 We had university professors swearing that they saw with their own eyes Khomeini's face in the moon.

01:23:30.200 We're not talking about an uneducated person be subject to some propaganda or brainwashing.

01:23:36.240 This is a university professor saying that.

01:23:39.400 So when the intelligentsia or intellectuals fall into those trappings, they didn't even know what Khomeini really stood for.

01:23:46.860 Nobody had really read his pamphlet, which if you read today, it was, I mean, this is just some badness behind it.

01:23:56.240 And the whole process, which was extremely opaque, obscure, many started by saying Islamic Republic, you know, and that's it.

01:24:05.400 And people were called to a referendum without even knowing what it's been proposed, voting in plain view with somebody with a Kalashnikov standing on a barrel and you had to throw either.

01:24:15.040 um to the person in the comments who's saying um he's describing the current state of u.s

01:24:21.520 universities yep he absolutely is this has been going on for for quite a while and uh like like

01:24:28.420 we iranians we've been seeing the signs for quite a long time and we've been speaking out about it

01:24:33.520 again guys the the islamic revolution in iran it didn't happen overnight it's not like people just

01:24:39.540 woke up one day in 1979 and just decided to overthrow the Shah, right? This was the product

01:24:46.500 of decades of infiltration and indoctrination by both communists and Islamists. So you can

01:24:55.360 actually trace the origins of the Islamic Republic. No, what's this? Sorry, sorry. You

01:25:03.920 could actually trace the origins of the Islamic Republic back to 1941. Um, I've spoken about that

01:25:12.500 in my live stream documentary about, um, about the 1979 Islamic revolution. Um, I mean, I could,

01:25:21.880 I could do another live stream, but it's literally a four hour video guys. So, um, I've here, let me,

01:25:27.980 let me share it again with you guys so you can see it. Um, or you know what, I'll just, I'll put

01:25:33.220 a link to i'll put a link to it um in my live stream after i'm done but if you just go to my

01:25:38.960 youtube page and go to my playlist where it says iranians rate documentaries about iran um go to

01:25:48.380 the oldest video the one that has a rating of three out of ten and it's four hours long

01:25:55.160 that's basically you're gonna you know everything that you need to know about the islamic revolution

01:26:01.280 and what happened is all right there. So I encourage everyone to go check that out. But

01:26:06.140 absolutely right. Like you're absolutely correct. What's happening right now in the West is exactly

01:26:11.420 what was happening in Iran. And again, it didn't happen overnight. It didn't happen overnight. It

01:26:16.580 took almost 40 years for them to gain so much power. And if you missed my live stream Friday

01:26:25.380 night, Friday night, I did a live stream where I played an interview with someone named Yuri

01:26:32.960 Besmanov. It's an interview from 1984. He was an ex-KGB agent, and he was exposing how

01:26:43.840 the communists have been infiltrating America for a long time. And even back in 1984,

01:26:49.800 When that interview happened in 1984, he was saying that it's already too late and the situation is dire.

01:26:57.080 So that was 1984, 40 years ago.

01:26:59.860 So imagine how much worse it is today.

01:27:03.660 A green or a red, you know, in plain view.

01:27:08.240 So what I'm trying to say is that as it was evolving, the momentum was such in that frenzy

01:27:15.900 and mostly instigated by these two groups that what could have been possibly been done some

01:27:21.420 people retrospectively say well maybe the regime was too slow to react to that demand and i'm not

01:27:27.420 saying there were legitimate demands for liberalization and a lot of honest genuine

01:27:33.420 liberals at the time were not wrong and my father actually wanted to do that what would you educate

01:27:38.780 a nation knowing that tomorrow they will have more demands and more need for participation

01:27:43.260 But we should not forget that this was at the time of the Cold War.

01:27:47.480 This is at the time that some of these groups were affiliated during the beating of a foreign

01:27:51.580 power.

01:27:52.740 The Today Party was basically the instrument of intervention in Iran on behalf of Moscow.

01:27:58.340 It was very clear.

01:28:01.220 Maybe in today's generation, they don't quite relate to that era, but that's how things

01:28:05.400 were at the time.

01:28:06.400 Anyway, the point is that as soon as the regime took over, they started to immediately

01:28:13.260 take on the intelligentsia, they closed universities, they threw professors in jail.

01:28:20.160 What I'm saying is that there was a sudden realization that we cannot stay in this country.

01:28:25.540 They were immediately persecuted if they were a religious minority.

01:28:28.980 Baha'is Jews had to escape the first exodus of Iranians that came out of Iran

01:28:34.800 and were lucky enough to be able to escape because of their political persuasions

01:28:39.360 or because of their religious beliefs or because they were members of the previous regime.

01:28:43.700 Anyway, there was a massive brain drain that started early on.

01:28:49.960 And it started creating what today you see in terms of the Iranian diaspora and how affluent

01:28:58.920 and capable they are in terms of creativity.

01:29:02.900 Many of them run corporations, industries, medical centers.

01:29:08.160 That should be, again, a way for whether you're an American or foreigner looking, okay, who

01:29:13.940 are Iranians?

01:29:14.940 What do they say?

01:29:15.940 What do they think?

01:29:16.940 What are they capable of?

01:29:17.940 In contrast to what this regime is projecting, that's where you can see the contrast.

01:29:22.520 That's what people in Iran today see as a contrast.

01:29:26.140 The children that were on the streets of Iran protesting in latter years, in various moments,

01:29:32.900 they were the ones who are no longer duped.

01:29:34.880 They do their own due diligence.

01:29:36.500 They do their own research.

01:29:37.800 So there's no more naivete that did exist in 1978-79 at the time of the revolution.

01:29:43.600 Do you think that any of the Iranians have any resentment towards the West?

01:29:47.740 Are they blaming the CIA or the UK?

01:29:55.060 Is there any of that type of resentment there?

01:29:59.240 Look, let me give you a tacit example of the expectation that exists in Iran in terms of

01:30:08.020 how can the free world come to our help.

01:30:13.920 During the Green Movement, there were a lot of slogans.

01:30:18.120 It was during the Obama administration.

01:30:21.420 You could see signs that people were holding in the English language to any camera covering

01:30:28.040 it.

01:30:29.040 clearly they were not practicing their linguistic skills.

01:30:32.280 They were trying to send you a message.

01:30:33.840 In fact, they were chanting Obama, Obama,

01:30:36.240 Yaba Una, Yaba Ma, which means either with them

01:30:39.360 or with us, pick your side.

01:30:43.960 And throughout the years,

01:30:45.340 you saw that the messaging coming from Iran

01:30:48.300 at a time that there was no social media,

01:30:50.520 which makes it more accessible to see

01:30:52.360 what people actually think,

01:30:54.480 was not covered by foreign media.

01:30:56.940 So it was always in the mindset of dealing with the regime, falling into the trappings of, well,

01:31:02.920 there are more moderate elements rather than the more hardcore. Maybe we can reason with them. Maybe

01:31:07.860 we can have a strategy of behavior change and a policy of trying to cut a deal with them and what

01:31:14.000 have you while Iranians were getting repressed at home. And I think the biggest reproach that

01:31:20.780 Iranians have towards countries like America or its allies in the Western world is that haven't

01:31:26.800 you yet seen the difference between us and our values and our aspiration, which is the

01:31:31.980 very same thing that you as Americans or French enjoy in terms of liberty and justice and

01:31:36.960 human rights in your countries.

01:31:39.000 And instead of helping us get rid of the regime that is taking all rights from us, you insist

01:31:43.700 on dealing with them over our head and throw us under the bus every time that we face this

01:31:49.920 crisis.

01:31:50.920 That I think is what frustrates many of my competitors back home.

01:31:54.760 It's just how else are we supposed to defend ourselves unarmed, unequipped against an extremely

01:31:59.780 repressive regime?

01:32:01.280 Why is it that when you know this regime is repressing us at home, and it's conducting

01:32:06.860 its proxy war abroad, not only you don't put more pressure on them, you reward them by

01:32:11.860 releasing more money to them, which of course is not going to be spent on people in Iran

01:32:17.380 and their economic situation, it's going to be spent on this whole proxy war.

01:32:22.120 And that is adding insult to injury.

01:32:24.180 That's really what I think most Iranians today look upon, why it is that we are being completely

01:32:29.540 ignored and thrown under the bus.

01:32:31.880 So interesting.

01:32:34.280 Why is it that Iran is involved in proxy wars?

01:32:38.800 Why are they doing this to the world?

01:32:40.740 Okay.

01:32:41.740 First thing you have to realize is that you're not talking about a conventional government

01:32:46.220 that wants to take care of its citizenry.

01:32:49.600 This was not the objective of Khomeini in the first place.

01:32:53.340 simply looked at Iran as a launching pad to export an ideology, to create a modern-day

01:33:00.240 Shiite caliphate, to dominate the region and beyond. In order to do that, you have to be

01:33:06.620 able to use every tool at your disposal, in what way you can impose that in the region

01:33:13.060 and beyond. And the proxy war is part of that strategy. And from the very beginning, in fact,

01:33:17.860 the IRGC is mandated in carrying out the arms part of helping that exportation of this ideology.

01:33:27.380 And in fact, the Islamic Republic has absolutely nothing to do with Iran. They are anti-Iranian,

01:33:35.540 and when they occupied our country, they changed our flag. That's the flag of Iran up there.

01:33:41.700 they changed it with a flag that says Allahu Akbar in Arabic. It's got like Allah in the

01:33:48.480 middle. So, you know, again, we're Iranian. We speak Persian. We don't speak Arabic. And yet

01:33:54.300 our flag is the flag of our foreign Islamic occupiers, right? Like we're not Arab. There's

01:34:03.500 nothing Arab about us. And this isn't, this isn't like going after Arabs or anything. Like I have

01:34:07.960 no issue with people of other nationalities or ethnicities or languages. But this is how you can

01:34:13.580 tell that Iran is occupied because they removed every symbol that relates to Iran. And they've

01:34:22.060 replaced it with Arabic words and an Arabic flag, right? And even the IRGC, it stands for

01:34:29.620 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. So there's absolutely nothing Iranian about the Islamic

01:34:35.480 dictatorship or nothing Iranian about the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. And like His Royal

01:34:42.300 Highness said, the Islamic regime is there to use Iran as an ATM, as a launch pad to export

01:34:51.360 Islamic terrorism around the world. And this is why we Iranians were sticklers when it comes to

01:34:59.780 differentiating between Iran and the Islamic Republic that's occupying Iran because the

01:35:05.620 Islamic Republic is incredibly anti-Iranian. They have been murdering us in the name of Allah and

01:35:12.220 Islam and Jihad for the last 47 years. And half of them aren't even Iranian. Half of them are like

01:35:17.760 from Iraq or from like Palestine or, you know, like they're from Lebanon or Pakistan, India,

01:35:27.700 They're like from all over, all over.

01:35:33.260 It's in their mission statement.

01:35:35.980 And oddly enough, there's nowhere mentioned the word Iran in that organization.

01:35:41.520 Don't say it's not an Iranian entity.

01:35:43.720 It's called the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in support of the regime.

01:35:49.520 Why was it created?

01:35:51.000 And I know the people who are involved in that creation, because they knew that they

01:35:54.840 cannot trust the army and therefore they had to create a buffer between the army and it started

01:36:00.760 very early on including when the iran iran iraq war started and it was supposed to be

01:36:07.700 a guarantee of protecting the regime from potential military coup against it by the military so ace

01:36:14.580 um so first of all uh kobaka thank you so much for the super chat and for the support

01:36:20.840 I really appreciate that. And absolutely, this is very important information because I think it's important for the world to know that the problem in the Middle East is not Iran. The problem is that Islamic jihadi ideology that occupied Iran in 1979 and has been slowly now coming into your countries.

01:36:47.740 And so when your politicians and and, you know, your media outlets, when they refer to what's happening in occupied Iran, when they say Iran instead of the Islamic Republic, they're actually doing you a disservice because they are not they are not properly identifying the the main source of the problem.

01:37:12.920 right? Because again, the problem isn't Iran or Iranians. Prior to 1979, Iran was actually the

01:37:20.000 biggest ally of the United States. It was only when the Islamic regime took over in 1979 that

01:37:28.240 they started chanting death to America and the great Satan and all that jihadi Islamic garbage

01:37:35.280 nonsense. That only started in 1979. Prior to that, we were allies. And so, yeah, your politicians

01:37:41.720 and media are doing you a huge disservice by not calling out the problem for what it is and unless

01:37:46.920 and until you actually know what the problem is how are you going to be able to to fight back

01:37:53.080 against that um so yeah there you go thank you thank you so much for the support and um i'm glad

01:37:59.000 you're enjoying the live stream second military that is loyal and reports direct sorry the other

01:38:06.920 thing i also wanted to point out here is that um a lot of people you know a lot of you are asking

01:38:13.080 well if iranians hate the islamic dictatorship why don't they rise up why haven't they overthrown it

01:38:18.520 yet um his royal highness just answered that question so when the islamic dictatorship took

01:38:25.320 over they created a second army basically they created the islamic revolutionary guard corps

01:38:32.120 the islamic revolutionary guard corps is separate from the iranian military the iranian military

01:38:37.560 the artish is severely underfunded um not very well trained not very well manned um and that's

01:38:44.040 because like he just said the the the dictators were afraid of you know a military coup d'etat

01:38:51.000 so they created a second paramilitary force the islamic revolutionary guard corps that is loyal

01:38:56.760 only to them. And in fact, many people who are part of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are

01:39:02.440 not even Iranian there. Like there's like Pakistanis and, you know, again, like Hezbollah

01:39:07.480 people, there's like Palestinians in there, there's like Iraqis, like even like some Nigerians

01:39:13.260 there. So pretty much anyone who is part of that Islamofascist jihadi ideology, the Islamic

01:39:21.560 dictatorship takes in and includes as part of their paramilitary. So yeah, the reason why it's

01:39:30.720 difficult for Iranians to overthrow the Islamic dictatorship is because there is literally

01:39:35.560 a well-manned, well-funded, well-armed army that was created specifically to keep the Islamic

01:39:46.660 dictatorship in power. And the actual army has been severely, severely defunded,

01:39:55.620 demanned, de-armed. And of course, everyone who's at the top of the army,

01:40:04.300 basically, they were all executed by the Islamic dictatorship, and they were all replaced with

01:40:09.000 their own people. So even the top echelons of the army are basically supporters of the

01:40:16.420 islamic dictatorship however i will say this um one of the things that his royal highness is working

01:40:22.600 on is military defections and um from reports we have heard that there's somewhere um between i

01:40:31.340 don't know 50 000 to at least 100 000 people who have defected um from both the artish and the

01:40:39.920 islamic revolutionary guard corps and apparently there's something going on in the background

01:40:44.780 There's something in the works. I don't know what that is, but we are seeing more and more defections coming from both the military and from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

01:40:57.000 So we all have to kind of stick around and stay tuned for that.

01:41:02.500 But yeah, so to answer everyone's questions as to why Iranians haven't been able to overthrow,

01:41:07.720 it's because there's literally an army there whose sole purpose is to murder Iranians

01:41:15.740 who try to rise up and overthrow the Islamic dictatorship.

01:41:20.840 Exactly to the current Islamic regime.

01:41:23.620 And basically for protecting them by not trusting the military and creating that buffer.

01:41:29.300 What happened, of course, next is that this organization became more and more a mafia-like organization,

01:41:35.480 getting involved in every aspect of control and commerce and business in Iran.

01:41:39.640 So that's why it is an entity that is actually powerful because it's in symbiosis with the regime.

01:41:49.300 How big is it?

01:41:50.260 How many people work for this IRGC?

01:41:53.040 It's certainly, if not more than the military, or even if there are some military components, a lot of it is controlled by the RGC, but it has become a point that they really have a lot of clot.

01:42:06.180 And if you look at every time the regime has been intervening regionally, whether in Syria or even Lebanon and other places, there's some kind of an IRGC entity involved in that aspect.

01:42:18.280 So you may be funding Hamas or Hezbollah, but there is an element of the IRGC involving

01:42:23.340 all these characteristics, which brings me to the point of why it is that I think if

01:42:28.660 there's no shift in policy in terms of how do we deal with this regime, how do we weaken

01:42:33.380 this regime, whether it's its proxies or whether it's the regime itself, one of the issues

01:42:38.980 on the table, which I think should be part of that policy, is the IRGC should be sanctioned

01:42:44.740 and placed on a list of terrorist organizations.

01:42:48.000 governments are looking at that finding the legal way to do that so someone asked someone in the chat

01:42:53.680 asked if people in iran are allowed to have guns no absolutely not um they're ordinary civilians

01:43:01.280 um are not allowed to own arms because again the islamic dictatorship does not want people to rise

01:43:08.080 up and overthrow them so um this is why i personally am a i'm a big supporter and proponent of gun

01:43:16.800 rights, I think it's important that people have the right to bear arms.

01:43:25.760 But if you do not show the Iranian people that we know the evil work that this regime is doing

01:43:32.160 against you in repression at home and what it's doing is proxy war, you cannot expect either

01:43:37.120 Iranians at home or our immediate neighbors like the Israelis or the Saudis to think

01:43:42.080 There's an actual means of responding to the regime.

01:43:45.960 And in the meantime, what do we do in dealing with this situation?

01:43:48.840 So it's not just limited to Iran.

01:43:52.080 And why is it that it impacts America at the end of the day?

01:43:55.640 Because I know many times I've heard Americans say, well, you know, it's all the way over there.

01:43:59.200 Why should we be dragged into it anymore?

01:44:00.960 We had a bad experience in Afghanistan.

01:44:03.460 We have a bad experience in Iraq.

01:44:06.960 Once again, as taxpayers, we have to fund all these things.

01:44:09.720 But none of this needs to happen when it comes to Iran.

01:44:14.720 But you cannot hope to have an equal playing field where you don't empower the people of

01:44:21.800 Iran without taking the teeth or the, what do you call it, the thangs out of this tiger

01:44:31.720 that the regime is.

01:44:32.800 It has to be de-clothed, literally.

01:44:34.980 So you cannot have a chance of bringing real change in nations that want to have change

01:44:41.780 by continuing to, in fact, reward this regime by giving them more means that they shouldn't

01:44:46.340 have had in the first place.

01:44:48.100 And that's the question that many Iranians ask, because you're not punishing the regime,

01:44:53.220 you're in fact emboldening them by giving them more means to carry out their sinister

01:45:01.100 goals.

01:45:02.100 You 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.

01:45:21.540 And we're not sure if that's really our priority because our priority has to be to take care of our own right now.

01:45:30.640 And I'm curious, what is your answer to the possibility that we don't engage?

01:45:39.320 What would happen if, you know, we build a border here, we secure our country, we focus on America, and we let the Middle East deal with the Middle East?

01:45:52.620 What would that look like?

01:45:56.160 First, I would say that America might say, well, we want to leave them alone.

01:46:00.720 They won't leave you alone.

01:46:02.640 That's the first thing.

01:46:04.040 They're still coming after you.

01:46:05.240 How?

01:46:05.500 So by knowing that the biggest success that they can have is to pretty much defeat what they always said from get go, the great Satan, America, which is why they have always had such a hostile antagonistic as an ideological system against the West represented chiefly by America.

01:46:27.520 But I understand, I'm a taxpayer here, I don't want my money to end up being spent on wasted

01:46:32.700 resources either, but you should not assume that the issue in Iran has to be a war.

01:46:41.620 And let me explain to you why, because the dynamics of change in Iran is a matter of

01:46:46.080 what is the agent for change in Iran?

01:46:48.920 What is the element that can bring down the system?

01:46:52.000 It's no other than the Iranian people themselves.

01:46:55.020 It's your natural army on the ground already, except for they are fighting the fight with

01:47:02.080 no support whatsoever.

01:47:04.320 You won't need to engage America in any kind of conflict.

01:47:08.940 In fact, I would be opposed in principle in any kind of foreign intervention.

01:47:14.880 But I do believe that if you're bringing the necessary element of pressure on the regime,

01:47:20.700 equalling the playing field for Iranians.

01:47:24.220 You don't have to do anything much more than that

01:47:26.380 because the rest will be done by the people themselves.

01:47:28.640 But we need to have a major shift in policy

01:47:30.940 that has yet to exist in the Western world

01:47:33.840 because they're still in the mindset of cutting a deal

01:47:36.680 and compromise and expecting behavior change,

01:47:39.100 which was a flawed expectation to begin with

01:47:41.380 and simply proves there's a great deal of naivete

01:47:44.260 in understanding that the DNA of this regime

01:47:47.120 is one that it cannot be compatible and coexisting

01:47:49.720 in the world as we know it because in their view it's either you or them there's no gray area

01:47:55.040 very true like you you cannot you cannot negotiate with terrorists whatsoever and um

01:48:02.000 i hope that i hope that american policymakers are slowly starting to wake up to that fact now

01:48:07.380 many of you have asked me to uh play tulsi gabbard's speech um where she speaks about

01:48:14.840 radical Islamism and that threat. You've asked me to play that and give my thoughts on that.

01:48:22.760 I will be doing that tomorrow. So if you join me for my live stream tomorrow, I will go over

01:48:30.840 her speech. I actually, I haven't watched it yet because I know you guys enjoy when I kind of just

01:48:35.860 do a blind watch and sort of give my reaction as I'm watching it and give my thoughts on it.

01:48:40.680 so I've refrained from watching it. I'm going to watch it tomorrow during the live stream. So

01:48:45.640 if you're enjoying the live stream, make sure that you like and subscribe to my channel and

01:48:49.300 you turn on notifications. My live streams are usually at 12 noon. However, tomorrow I'm also

01:48:55.720 going to be starting a little bit later because I have an appointment at 12 noon. So I'll probably

01:49:01.460 be starting closer to maybe 2 p.m. Eastern. Not sure. But I'll put a notification

01:49:09.800 in my YouTube, like with an upcoming live stream. So you guys will see it anyway.

01:49:14.240 But I will be playing Tulsi Gabbard's speech tomorrow on radical Islamism. I've heard it's

01:49:20.000 good. I've heard it's good. So I'm excited to watch that and give my thoughts on that.

01:49:26.160 In the last few minutes here, because we're reaching the two hour mark. And then, you know,

01:49:32.420 I have to switch over or not have to, I will be switching over because I want to,

01:49:36.660 to the members only live stream. And we're going to have a members only watch party for all of our

01:49:43.720 paid channel members. So in the last few minutes before I end my live stream, I'm going to be

01:49:50.340 playing the beginning of another speech by His Royal Highness, King Reza Pahlavi, where he speaks

01:49:58.560 about the threat of radical marxism and radical islamism so here we ladies and gentlemen good

01:50:07.760 morning western civilization and the united states in particular is at risk i say this because this

01:50:19.120 is exactly what happened to my country 45 years ago iran you might say was the testing grounds

01:50:27.700 for what my late father called the unholy alliance of the red and the black,

01:50:33.640 radical Marxism and radical Islamism.

01:50:37.920 These two ideologies converged not to create, but to destroy.

01:50:44.820 Indeed, to destroy the very notion of Iran.

01:50:49.720 As the Ayatollah Khomeini himself, upon his return to Iran, said,

01:50:54.740 Patriots are of no use to us. We need Muslims. Islam is opposed to nationalism, because nationalism means we want a nation, nationhood, and not Islam.

01:51:09.860 he quickly put his ideology into action our national consultative assembly became the

01:51:19.120 Islamic consultative assembly our conventional national army was shunned in favor of the

01:51:27.960 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps the lion and sun symbol which adorned our national flag for

01:51:35.180 centuries was replaced with Allahu Akbar. This united front of Marxists and Islamists took hold

01:51:45.260 of my homeland but was never satisfied with just taking over Iran, as these two ideologies do not

01:51:52.580 believe in the concept, much less the border of a nation. Indeed, the Islamic Republic in Iran

01:51:59.300 Iran does not view itself as defending or limited to the borders of the Melat, or the

01:52:05.400 Iranian nation, but rather the Omat, or the Islamic Brotherhood.

01:52:13.480 This expansion has gone far beyond the Middle East.

01:52:17.940 Every day we see graphic, distressing images of the consequences this regime's expansion

01:52:24.400 has brought all the way to Europe and the West.

01:52:29.300 From looting universities that were once the envy of the world, to supporting terrorist

01:52:35.440 cells taking hold in Europe, to attempting to annihilate Israel, to expanding its criminal

01:52:43.640 footprint to Latin America.

01:52:47.060 This is not an accident.

01:52:50.460 This is the Islamic Republic's political strategy.

01:52:55.180 I invite you to read yesterday's statement and…

01:52:58.100 So we're going to stop it there. That's a speech that his Royal Highness King Reza Pahlavi, the leader of the Iranian opposition to overthrow the Islamic dictatorship. This is a speech that he gave, I believe it was last summer at the National Conservative Convention.

01:53:18.320 So I have played this speech in like my older live streams. But what I'm going to do is tomorrow, before we play Tulsi Gabbard's speech where she speaks about, I'm assuming she's speaking about radical Islamism in the United States.

01:53:35.420 I'm going to play this one first. I'm going to play the entire speech so that you guys can can see how we Iranians have been trying to warn the West and warn Americans about the threat of the Islamic Republic and how that is destabilizing your countries.

01:53:56.700 So tune in tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing you all there. Thank you everyone for joining me. Appreciate all of your support. Don't forget to like, subscribe and share. And for those of you who are channel members, I will see you shortly in the members only after party live stream there.

01:54:21.000 So I'll, I'll probably do that in about, you know, 15, 15 minutes, just going to go grab a coffee.

01:54:26.920 Um, and, uh, yeah, I will see you guys soon.

01:54:30.740 And for, for all the rest of you, thank you so much for joining.

01:54:34.360 Um, I will be doing an evening live stream tonight, watching a documentary or two.

01:54:39.960 So look forward to seeing you all then.

01:54:42.520 And, uh, as always.

01:54:51.000 Thank you.

01:55:21.000 Thank you.

01:55:51.000 Thank you.

01:56:21.000 Thank you.

01:56:51.000 We'll be right back.
