00:03:50.000Or do you think it's organic and the people of Iran might actually have a vested interest in doing away with the Islamic Republic regime?
00:03:58.000And then we contrast that with the protests, sorry, riots in Minnesota.
00:04:02.000So one group of people actually oppressed in Iran, they get executed for speaking out against a government who is not a legitimate government.
00:04:08.000The other is a bunch of white, privileged, liberal, angry, feminist bitches who don't really even know what they're protesting and run over cops with cars.
00:04:53.000But that's not how it actually went down.
00:04:57.000No, Nick never got to deep fry that turkey for his holiday barbecue, because Nick never bought that dream home with that big, beautiful yard.
00:05:05.000You see, Nick didn't think he could qualify for a home loan.
00:05:08.000He just assumed that his credit would be too low, and his debt would be too high.
00:05:12.000If he'd just called the experts at American Financing, they could have helped him overcome those doubts and misconceptions.
00:06:35.000If Gerald orders fish and chips at a restaurant and they put vinegar at his table, no tip. He throws that thing across the room. I want fish and chips. None of that tartar sauce. None of that. No vinegar. You don't like tartar sauce? Well, then don't order fish and chips. I'd ketchup. I'm totally fine. You embarrass us. I'm ashamed. You are a stain on the history of this studio. For vinegar? Yeah,
00:06:59.000that's right. That's where I crossed the line. How do you feel about balsamic vinegar? I love that, actually. What about vinaigrettes? See, he's not even consistent. He likes balsamic vinegar, but he hates other forms of vinegar. He hates vinegar in its pure form, but variations is okay with him. He wants us to live in a vinegar apartheid state. I want a muddled vinegar, not a pure vinegar. All right. It's a live show. Weekdays, 11 a.m. You can expect more of this. And yeah, I already gave you the rundown. Kat and Morgan,
00:07:26.000how are you aside from being here? Fantastic without eating those stupid chips. All right. He just doesn't. He's wrong. It's okay to be wrong. It's okay to be wrong. And Friday, January 16th at the Big Laugh Comedy Club in Fort Worth, Texas. Not underscore Feierstein and X because it is not Josh Feierstein. How are you? I'm good. You know, I was baptized in a river of vinegar. Really? Yeah. Well, there you go. Yeah, so I am more holy. Pickled. Yep, exactly. That's nowhere in scripture at all. Yeah,
00:07:52.000it's a pickled heaven that I'm going to. So, before we get to the Iranian protests, we have some exclusive footage there on the ground in Texas, a show of solidarity and the Insurrection Act, Minnesota, all that going on. I was going to cover Ashley Sinclair and Elon Musk. Whoops. That one for me, I was right. Before any of that, just in exhibit. Watch Z42,
00:08:20.000that hockey is a different sport. Watch this brawl that took place during a Hershey Bears Mites on Ice Youth Showcase. This actually happened, and I love how long it goes. Oh,
00:08:41.000okay. Is it wrong that I think it's cute still? No. It's a little cute. Now it's less cute. Oh, it's cute again. Oh, Jesus. Where's the ref? You're supposed to stop it once it hits the ice. Yeah, there's no ref in sight. That guy took his skate off. That's the goalie throwing punches there. Oh, the goalie makes a big hit later on. Where's he going now? Oh, okay. He might be giving up here. Going back to the goal. Nope! Nope! By the way,
00:10:11.000that was awesome. They all shared one beer. It's so funny. It's kind of like when Christians were defending, we found ourselves in the position to defend hooters because a lot of like, this is chauvinistic. We don't want to be defending hooters. Once upon a time traditional Christian conservatives would be like, hey kids, Come on.
00:11:03.000You're not going to get that in basketball.
00:11:04.000I used to practice before school. 4.30 in the morning. There you go. And that's what stunted your growth. It is. Early risings. Alright. Just we have to address this. Ask me again why I don't trust most,
00:11:22.000not all, trad-con women out there. Like strong, independent, conservative female voices who are in the public sphere. Here's what I usually look at. I go, okay. Are they advocating for a traditional lifestyle and traditional gender roles that they don't live out? Well, the answer is yes, if they are out there as a professional commentator. Do they still have to side with women in this noble sisterhood that doesn't exist? Okay, yeah. And then you go, how long is their track record? I'm just leery and I'm very,
00:11:51.000very hesitant to include any of them amongst our ranks. Case in point, Ashley Sinclair. Again, called it. She posted on X, you know, the baby mama of Elon Musk who went out and did the MAGA thing. She did the trolling thing. She would copy the Change My Mind posters. She wrote on X, I feel immense guilt for my role on trans issues.
00:12:11.000And even more guilt that things I've said in the past may have caused my son, sister more pain.
00:12:16.000ID, RK, how to make amends for many of these things.
00:12:19.000But I've been trying incredibly hard privately to learn and advocate for those within the trans community that I've hurt.
00:12:26.000I also haven't said much on this because I have gone back and forth over whether my voice would be helpful on the issue, since it will be framed as disingenuous or just turning because I'm scorned.
00:12:38.000When I saw this, I said, you know what she's doing, right?
00:12:40.000She is angry because the money has run out or she's not getting the kind of communication she wants, so she's putting this out there because she knows it's a soft spot for Elon Musk.
00:12:47.000That's a big reason he turned more right -leaning, because one of his, I believe it was his son, Yeah, decided to transition.
00:12:54.000He talked about that with Jordan Peterson, so she's doing this to go uh, so maybe I might raise, maybe I might raise him like that.
00:13:00.000More money please, more money, please.
00:13:02.000I said this is a shakedown that's taking place publicly.
00:13:34.000what kind of criteria should women like this have to meet before you trust them or include them amongst our ranks? Genuine question. And by the way, that applies to conservative women. Conservative female viewers or consumers are very different from the purveyors of content who say, hey, it's great to have a strong masculine leader in the household and follow and, you know, we should have complimentary roles. You're watching. You can believe that. People creating that, though,
00:14:02.000they're not. They're out there working. They're spending time away from their family. They're not being mom. They're being professional commentator and usually telling men how we should be. You let me know what hoops they have to jump through. For me, it's a lot. And I will tell you, it's a double standard. It's more than men. Because there's nothing hypocritical about men saying, I believe in traditional gender roles and going out and being the breadwinner. There is for women. Do we want more female talking heads? Or do we want more moms? And so you have to have a really,
00:14:28.000really good reason if you're not being mom. And we know that Ashley Sinclair, I mean, allegedly, we know she's not. All right. Iran. We want to go to Iran? I don't want to go there. No, no one wants to go there. I mean, you know, maybe not now. Well, this is something, you're witnessing a potential revolution in real time. And I'll make all the references available. I know you're going to hear a lot of misinformation on Iran, so I want to Kind of,
00:14:57.000let's piecemeal some of this. People will tell you it's not organic. People will tell you that only neocons want this, and that this is spurred by Israel, that the Iranian people love their Islamic authority, that Trump is going to lead us into World War III,
00:15:11.000that it's not America first. Is any of that true? Is some of it true? Well, the answer is pretty much none of that is true. Here's the thing. I would bet that Israel would like a regime change. Really? I would bet that most people in Israel like sandwiches. I too enjoy sandwiches. So it's not because the Jews. And the same thing with the Iranian people. If you go back and you look into their history,
00:15:38.000this is not historically, by the way, a Muslim country. They were effectively conquered by Muslims. The Persian people are very different from the Arabic people. They had different culture, different history, different language, different IQ levels. And this is not a government that was elected by a majority of the people that turned on them. A hostile takeover. This has never been a legitimate government,
00:15:58.000and the people have been trying to stage a revolution for quite a while. So they have their own interests, and other international actors may have interests, too. That's what sort of muddies the water. So, let's go into this. Over the weekend, the protests continued to escalate, and it's even, And it's really hard to know the accurate death count because we're getting some of that info from Iran.
00:16:37.000So this is taking place as we enter the third week of protests.
00:17:21.000All governments do that across the world.
00:17:24.000Not all of the many hundreds, potentially thousands of people who have been killed in Iran are on the payroll of anyone else. Many of them are willing to die, and more people pouring into the streets. That doesn't happen unless it's organic, just to be clear. Well, it's been going on for decades. It fires up, and what happens is the regime usually puts it down hard enough in public executions and disappearing people, and they go back home. Right. So it's not like Israel every single time is like, here we go, we're going again. Right. 20, 30, 40 years now. And is there one guy, one person,
00:17:53.000one figure that's leading this movement? It doesn't seem like there is. And that's usually a good sign. If there's one guy, it's usually a good sign of some other intervention. Right. Like, hey, here's our leader. Here's our guy. We give him all the tools he needs. Right. And he'll create an uprising in his own people. That's not. No, it's not. You have a few people who are acting, I would imagine, in positions of more authority than others. That's why they're going to execute those who they think are the worst actors. But no. This is something that is a long time coming and, you know, let's rewind this. Hey,
00:18:21.000what if Iran did get to the point of having nuclear weapons? Which they were going to. Then their threats here wouldn't ring so hollow. There's very little they can do. They can engage in terrorism, of course,
00:18:33.000and they can have sleeper cells and they can hit military bases. But a nuclear Iran? That would have been a very, very dangerous, very different parallel universe. So last night, President Trump actually addressed this from Air Force One in very Trump fashion. I love it. There seem to be some people killed that aren't supposed to be killed. These are violent. If you call them leaders,
00:18:54.000I don't know if they're leaders or just they rule through violence. But we're looking at it very seriously. The military is looking at it. And we're looking at some very strong options. We'll make a determination. Some of the protesters were killed through the stampeding. I mean, you know, there's so many of them. And some were shot. Are we getting a full report? I'm getting an hourly report. And we're going to make a determination. Sir, do you think Iran takes your spreads seriously? What? Don't you think so,
00:19:23.000CNN? Don't you think so? Wouldn't you say that they probably do at this point? After going through it for years with me, being hit, Soleimani, al-Baghdadi, the Iran nuclear threat wiped out. Don't you think, And then you just had Venezuela.
00:20:16.000But we may have to act because of what's happening before the meeting.
00:20:23.000And the funny, people on both sides don't understand that that is a brilliant way to frame negotiations. Like, yeah, we might sit and talk with them, but I mean, I don't know, we might kill them before it. If they don't hurry and rush to the table. Yeah, I mean, your guess is as good as mine. If you don't get to the table,
00:20:39.000I might take dinner out. Yeah, it's like, I mean, it's anybody's guess. Well, sir, isn't it your guess? It's anybody's guess. Anybody's, really. Could be yours. He's so beautiful. President Trump is very serious about helping Iranians. Some insiders have actually reported that he's ready to ship them protective shields. Which,
00:20:56.000well, okay. That'll help a little bit, I guess. And even potentially some ground artillery. Which I think we should be putting all the military research dollars. It's true. Also, the secret location of an ancient Persian weapon. Now I get it's Arabian,
00:21:18.000it's not Persian. Whatever. I don't care. Close enough. So, we kind of walked you through what has happened so far. And then yesterday,
00:21:30.000the Ayatollah Called out Trump on X. It's just so funny to me that these people act like they're real people. He said, that father figure who sits there with arrogance and pride, as opposed to the Ayatollah. As opposed to the Supreme Leader! You arrogant! You arrogant fuck! We'll just call you Leader. No,
00:21:50.000Supreme! Supreme Leader! Supreme Leader! Yeah, but Trump's still his daddy, apparently. His father figure. That father figure who sits there with arrogance and pride, passing judgment on the entire world. He, too, should know that usually the tyrants and oppressors of the world, such as Pharaoh and Nimrod and Reza Khan and Muhammad Reza and the likes of him, when they were at the peak of their pride, were overthrown. This one, too, will be overthrown. Me. I mean you! Yeah,
00:22:17.000he just listed a bunch of world leaders from only one part of the world. It's like his knowledge of the rest of the world doesn't exist. Here's a few key facts for you to know, and we're going to get some footage of Lane the Brain went down and spoke with some people on the ground at a solidarity, not really a protest, I guess a solidarity march stand in Texas. Key fact one here. There may be outside forces that also have a vested interest, of course, but the Iranian people Enough of the Iranian people,
00:22:47.000A significant portion of the Iranian people, to the point that you are seeing a revolution.
00:23:01.000Then they instituted a Muslim theocracy with hijab laws.
00:23:05.000They murdered tens of thousands of their own people.
00:23:07.000And what's really funny is they talked about the Shah before them saying he's arrested and executed people.
00:23:13.000The estimate is probably about 4 ,000.
00:23:15.000The Ayatollah Khomeini did it far more.
00:23:17.000Completely silenced, destroyed political opposition. Also destroyed Iran's economy. Helped finance and conducted worldwide terror attacks. I mean, across the globe. They're the biggest funder of terror across the globe. And here's the thing. Libertarians here who are non-interventionists, don't you understand that the people of Iran, they share common ground with you. They don't want their tax dollars going to build nuclear bombs. And fighting wars, for example, In Gaza, just like you don't for Ukraine.
00:23:46.000They have no say in it, because if they speak out oh, there's a chance that they get executed.
00:23:52.000This is one thing that's lost on a lot of people.
00:23:54.000Here's another claim that you'll kind of see being made is that this is all CIA, that this is all Massad right now, which you tell me.
00:24:03.000If that passes a sniff test, you don't have people who are willing to die in the streets, numbering in the thousands, with more pouring in to the streets.
00:24:11.000That's not typically what you see with a psyop or a covert operation.
00:24:16.000If you want to talk about the Bay Of Pigs or any of these, that's.
00:24:20.000Yeah, I don't think the CIA or Masad went and was like, hey, don't you guys hate the way you've been living the last 35 years?
00:24:25.000Right yeah, and aren't you guys all, aren't you guys willing to die on mass?
00:24:29.000Uh, just uh, you know for us, for the, the Jews here's the truth the Iranian people.
00:24:34.000they've wanted the regime gone for a very, very long time. Almost as soon as they came in. Pretty much. And this is an exclusive here. Laying the Brain spoke with some demonstrators this weekend about this exact topic. Hear it straight from them and ask yourself, are all these people paid by outside actors? There's this narrative that I've seen. I don't know if you've seen it. And it's going to be on the left, but also on parts of the right, too. Well, this isn't really led by the Iranian people. This isn't really a bottom-up thing. This is Israel,
00:25:04.000the Israel lobby that wants the Ayatollah out. It is the Jews that have an interest. So it's really, they're the ones pushing all of this. Absolutely not. What would you say if you saw that? Absolutely not. I think, excuse my language,
00:25:17.000that's bullshit. That's absolute bullshit. All these people. Look at this. Everyone on the streets. Millions and millions of people are on the street. They're getting killed. The regime is basically opening fire at them right now. And they're not stopping. So this is all from the people of Iran. It has nothing to do with Israel or anyone else. We,
00:25:44.000the people of Iran want this regime out.
00:26:35.000They're fighting proxy wars against us in every one of these countries.
00:26:38.000and they're trying to kill Americans, and President Trump finally understands, going after the head of the snake and making sure that nobody ever calls us big Satan again. And I know some of you are wondering, yes, I believe Lane the Brain got that first lady's number. Nice! I know why that's your first interview, Lane and uh, she is uh she's, I believe, recently come from Iran, like in the last last year or two.
00:26:58.000So I don't even know if we could say Iranian American, because she's not a uh, not a citizen, she's a temporary resident, as far as I understand it.
00:27:04.000Look, and I know you, you want to take the floor here for a second.
00:27:08.000This comes down to um, let's assume for a second that these people really want their regime gone.
00:27:16.000And would it be better for the United States?
00:27:17.000I mean, you do need to ask yourself like okay, we took out their nuclear refinement uh facilities, all right, and I had a debate about that, uh with Dave Smith.
00:27:20.000It's like, okay, we took out their nuclear refinement facilities, right?
00:27:23.000And I had a debate about that with Dave Smith.
00:27:25.000Um, let's say we didn't, and we lived in a parallel universe where they got to the point of building a nuclear bomb.
00:27:26.000Let's say we didn't, and we lived in a parallel universe where they got to the point of building a nuclear bomb.
00:27:33.000You would never see a revolution of the people ever again, because they would be completely powerless against it.
00:27:41.000So now that we're on this track, all right, they're not able to carry out some of the threats that they have made, and the people have an opportunity.
00:27:47.000Do you realize that this could fundamentally change, and I know they'll never get it all right in the, but I usually apply that to the Arabic, the Muslim world.
00:27:57.000Persians are quite different, to be clear.
00:27:59.000This could stabilize that region for at least, let's say, a decade, two decades, that changes the entire map geopolitically and foes that the United States have.
00:28:08.000If Iran is not the biggest funder of terrorism.
00:28:11.000you don't have the same conflict between Iran and Israel, you don't have the same conflict, by the way, between Iran and Saudi Arabia, that whole area of these Gulf states, it changes in a way that would be beneficial to the world at large. And the only people who stand to benefit,
00:28:25.000the only people who stand to benefit from it remaining the way it is, is in fact the regime themselves. And I want to point out one thing. I went back and watched a documentary this weekend on the 79 Iran revolution. Then I watched a documentary on Iran and Saudi Arabia and their conflict over the decades. Then I watched a documentary show about seven,
00:28:43.000eight hours in total on Iran and Israel. And that was uploaded to PBS five months ago. So right before we kind of came to where we are right now. And the one fundamental mistake that you see them all make is they would say, and Israel did this, or Saudi Arabia, which prompted Iran to, we have to swap Iran to the Islamic State regime. Because there is a huge disconnect. From the Iranian regime, the policy, how we view Iran,
00:29:08.000and how the people of Iran view their government. It is a much, much wider disconnect, for example, than even Democrats would have with Donald Trump. They don't represent these people at all. Matter of fact, they have a vested interest in killing them. So when you see it that way, make really, really clear these lines. People say, well, I don't want to kill anyone in Iran. Neither do I. Their own regime does. That's the difference. You need to address the regime versus the people,
00:29:35.000and that would necessitate two different approaches in dealing with Iran.
00:29:39.000Are you dealing with Iran by giving a pass to the regime or are you dealing with Iran by having a heart for the Iranian people?
00:29:45.000That's not to have the discussion and say, is it worth our tax dollars?
00:29:49.000But let's not just say Iran as a whole.
00:29:53.000Yeah, and I mean, you know, the Dave Smiths and those guys who are anti-intervention, I understand why.
00:29:57.000Like Iran poses a very unique challenge for us.
00:30:00.000We could go in there and we could probably make this thing happen, but it would be very, very costly and difficult and you never know exactly what you're going to get.
00:30:07.000So you've got the revolution that happens from all these college kids, basically, these college-age young people that just want change because the Shah is too close to the United States.
00:30:17.000you know, 4,000 people, I think, or so were killed, but they had a lot more freedom. But they just didn't like that. And so, they went through a revolution and got something worse in the Ayatollah. And they very quickly realized that and started protesting against it. And it's like, yes, it could be messy. But the people of Iran have wanted this forever. As long as this has been in place since 1979, I'm betting in 1981 people were like, alright, this sucks,
00:30:41.000okay? This was supposed to be better. And it's not better because they've been talking about this for a long time. And I know it could be messy. But it would be better than what we have right now, and we'll get to why with China and Russia. This matters a lot more to us than most people think. This is an America first thing. The only reason that Iran is not considered a more formidable foe is because they don't have the ability. But if you were to take,
00:31:01.000let's say, a superpower like China, like Russia, and add on top of that, death to America, the great Satan, we will eventually wipe them out. I think you'd take it quite seriously. The whole point is that it's probably not in our To that point. How we deal with it, That's a discussion to be had.
00:31:17.000Here's another claim that you'll see made.
00:31:20.000So I want to disabuse you of some ideas out there that are simply false, and then I think an honest discussion can take place.
00:31:46.000I mean, that was kind of a calling card. All the greats have their calling cards. I mean, if you go back to 79, the Saudi army just destroyed this grand mosque in Mecca after it was taken over by Muslim extremists. If you go all the way through 2018,
00:31:58.000Sunni Muslims destroyed an Ahmadi mosque in Pakistan. You had ISIS destroying mosques. It would happen all the time between Shia and Sunni Muslims. All the time, they would destroy each other's mosques. It's like biker gangs taking out each other's clubs. They revile each other. I think people in the West have this idea that a Muslim would never destroy a mosque because we fought a war in the Middle East for 20 years,
00:32:19.000a global war on terror, and that was one of the things. They used it as like a home base rule, like, oh, if I'm in the mosque, you can't do anything. Right. And so that's kind of, I think that's where that stereotype comes from, but it's not necessarily an untouchable building. Not even Muslim. So this is one thing that's very telling and I highly recommend you go check out the references. If you look at the percent of the population of Iran that identify as Muslim,
00:32:45.000now according to the government census, it's 99.5%. 99.5% of Iran is Muslim. All non-government surveys have it less than 50%. Anytime I see a government survey and it's 99, it's like,
00:32:59.000oh they put a .5. Right. So that we're like so it's believable. Right. Now, that doesn't mean that they're all Christian, but I will say this. The United States, by the numbers, is a significantly more Christian nation than Iran is Muslim. Yeah. So when you say the Iranian people as though the Iranian people are one and the same with the government who are Islamofascists,
00:33:21.000how do you reconcile that if you know that the majority of their country, they don't even identify as Muslim? And by the way, there are, according to unofficial numbers, at least a million Christians in Iran today and it's growing. So that's a really big tell. The government's saying 99 are Muslim. What does that mean? They want it to be and they'll kill you if you're not. They'll kill you if you convert. Well,
00:33:42.000it's basically they want this. They want to wear the hijabs in public and have all of these Sharia laws in place. It's like, no, actually they don't. Less than 50%. They force women to wear hijabs for the same reason they will publicly execute these protesters without trial. And not allow the families to visit. And they're saying that on Wednesday. Yeah. They're going to start rounding up. I don't think,
00:34:00.000I'll talk about that later, but man, that could be very brutal. Yeah. Well, here's another key fact is, yeah, you're right. President Trump is motivating the protesters. That is true. There is motivation. They are hoping that the United States comes to their aid. Not exactly how you think,
00:34:18.000though. So the Iranians, they've been, again, like we said, protesting the regime for decades. round started before Trump went into Venezuela, but his rhetoric, they have said, are making a significant difference. Huge. They feel as though someone is acting as a backstop, Especially after taking the nuclear refinement facilities out.
00:34:37.000That's not something that the Iranian people want their money going toward.
00:34:40.000We haven't even talked about the economy.
00:34:42.000I mean just unbelievable inflation that you couldn't even imagine here.
00:34:46.000People living in poverty, people with high IQs, by the way, and high levels of education, just not having any economic opportunity.
00:34:53.000They don't want their money going to build nuclear bombs.
00:34:56.000So we hear it again from the people who are down there, who are Iranian here in the United States.
00:35:15.000He doesn't, he doesn't back him up, he doesn't stay quiet, he doesn't stay silent, he stays for what's right, regardless of what the mass media says.
00:35:25.000The mass media always follows their ideology and if it something doesn't fit their ideology, they won't represent it.
00:35:35.000For the last 48 hours there's there's been quite a complete blackout in Iran, which means that there is no internet, there is no communication from Iran to outside world.
00:35:44.000So they're doing mass massacre in Iran.
00:35:46.000I think a lot of people realize that President Trump is not to be played around with.
00:35:51.000President Trump also went in and took out, took out the nuclear sites that the Islamic Republic so much has, that the people in Iran have no problem with Israel.
00:35:57.000that the people of Iran have no problem with Israel.
00:36:00.000The people in Iran are peace-loving people.
00:36:00.000The people of Iran are peace-loving people.
00:36:01.000They're not interested in nuclear weapons.
00:36:01.000They're not interested in nuclear weapons, they're not interested in in all the things that these mullahs that have hijacked Iran are doing.
00:36:03.000They're not interested in all the things that these mullahs that have hijacked Iran are doing.
00:36:07.000And the most important part that this is really happening is because we have the back end of the world.
00:36:12.000And for the first time in the White House, we have a president who gets it.
00:36:16.000The only message I got is for President Trump and every other political head president and everyone out there, if you're going to say you're going to do something, you better do it because if you don't do it, you're endangering the people that are inside the country.
00:36:31.000And they go out there, they risk their lives, and they're hoping that there is some kind of outside help coming in, but it's not.
00:36:38.000So it has been, what, January 3rd he said it?
00:36:45.000about a week and a half, and people are dying. What else do you need? Go out there if you're going to do it. And here's the thing. I think that the people should plan a revolution where they can carry it out themselves. You shouldn't rely on the United States. But again, that does that is relevant. The regime change would benefit the United States. And yes, by the way, Israel. But it doesn't mean that that's why the people there are supporting it. Let's put this in perspective. Right now, what's the most oil-rich country on Earth? Venezuela? Venezuela. Okay,
00:37:12.000so Venezuela. So that one now. New information to me. Yeah, that one now. Stabilize it. Yeah. Okay? And a lot of their oil, we gave you the number, how much was going to China. Right. And how much China was investing in Venezuela. That's in our hemisphere. Okay. So that's one that, of course, we don't know where the chips will fall, but we're on a better track. Same thing with Iran, by the way. Yep. We can look at the Islamic Republic. They're the world's largest sponsor of terrorism. Okay? That's gone. If the Islamic Republic falls. China and Russia would lose their biggest partner in the region. Again,
00:37:42.000Again, China imports 23% of all of its oil from Iran.
00:37:45.000So you change the game with Venezuelan oil and you change the game with Iranian oil.
00:38:18.000is also the top supplier of drones to Russia. Yeah. What's going on in Ukraine right now? It's basically a drone war right now. So that would be a massive, massive win for us. And one reason, Lane actually brought up something. He reached out to one of his friends in China. He went to school there for a brief period of time, and they were like, you're CIA, go! And that's Russian. I don't know. I can't do Chinese voice, but whatever. Yeah, that sounded very Chinese. Yeah, very Chinese. But anyway, he reached out to one of his friends like, hey,
00:38:43.000what do you guys think about what's going on in Iran? And they're like, what's going on in Iran? Like, China is completely suppressing this story. So it's obviously a big deal to them that power stays as power is in Iran right now. They want it unchecked. They don't want anybody coming in and messing with any of that stuff,
00:38:58.000though I don't think they can do anything about it. Lane is just clarifying they saw his story and reached out to him, not vice versa. Oh, okay, yeah. It's funny because, by the way, I think it's true that you do have the Israeli government trying to apply leverage to big tech companies sometimes to change the algorithm. That's true. That's a problem. We need to call it out where we see it. But what about the fact that all communications are shut down in Islamic nations any time there's a little bit of an uprising or protest? Nothing fishy there. Yeah,
00:39:27.000we have to apply this even-handedly. Yeah, we should act in our own interests and Iran existing as it does is diametrically opposed to the best interests of the United States. That doesn't mean that we invade but it does mean that we have a vested interest right now. If you want America first If you want the steady supply of energy,
00:39:43.000if you don't want prices subjected to incredible volatility because of instability in that entire region of the world, then you would want to have a different government that is America-friendly in Iran. That would be America first. And by the way,
00:39:57.000let me just lay this out really quickly because a lot of people will say, no, no, no, we just need to work with this government. Okay, fantastic. I'll take you at your word. In 2009 there was an election and the Iranian people thought that their votes were stolen essentially and so they basically had a million people out in the streets in 2009 protesting and marching and screaming,
00:40:15.000where is my vote? Okay, the United States did virtually nothing to help. That's I think the Green Revolution, Green Movement, whatever they want to call it. We tried To work with the government. That was a key moment where we could have just done a little bit of a hat tip like Trump has done and said,
00:40:30.000hey, be careful. Don't do anything to those protesters over there. If you kill too many protesters, you're going to, hey, we're considering strong options right now. Trump has always had a, hey, look, I'm going to go and show these guys that they have a backer. Without fully committing us to something maybe we don't want to do. And by the way, the same people saying you should work with their government are the same people who then go, can you believe that George Bush was working with the Saudis? There's no winning with that. You'll look back and go, wait, why were we working with a government that suppressed its own people and executed its own people and violated its own people's human rights? They didn't represent their people,
00:41:00.000so there's no winning with that. It's just people wanting a Monday morning quarterback. Also, is there no moral qualm with help working with a government like that? Exactly. Handing over six billion dollars to them? Yes. That they're going to turn over right to Hezbollah and Hamas? Right. No, that's a very good point. So all of these, it's not just as simple as people go like, ah, yeah, it's the Jews. I guarantee you Israel has a vested interest in Iran not being under the sum of the Islamic Republic. That doesn't mean that the people can't have a separate interest. They can be,
00:41:29.000they can be sort of parallel to each other. Right. They can be congruent, but it doesn't mean that they're doing it for the other. Right. The enemy of my enemy, essentially right here. Yeah. And in that case, they might not even be taking that into account. Now, here's a kind of a bonus piece of information. With Iran going on, certainly as far as forced hijabs, right? The women were wearing bikinis back in the day, and now the women live under the Islamic Republic, where they're completely stripped of their rights. You would think that, especially considering,
00:41:58.000you know, how they have the Palestine flag and LGBTQ flag and that Donald Trump is a chauvinist and patriarchy and handmaid's tale, American feminists would be showing support for The ladies of Iran, right? Why do you think you're not seeing that support that you might have seen those groups give people like Palestine or when there's other similar situations? That's actually a great question that I don't know the answer to. Like,
00:42:24.000I don't know why people are quiet. The feminists, everyone who stood with us, who amplified our voices. In 2022 for Maslamini, A lot of them are quiet right now.
00:43:09.000They are trying to allow the radical Islamists or radical anything or socialists to take over other people's country.
00:43:18.000And you have one message for the people of the United States who think that the radical Islamists or the socialists...
00:43:26.000or Hamas is any good. Go spend seven days in Iran, then we talk. By the way, notice the difference in ability for these people to articulate their positions and reasons for protesting compared to ICE. Right. And that is,
00:43:41.000by the way, certainly a litmus test. It's a good bellwether to know whether protesters are organic or they are paid. If it's just, you guys are fascists! Like, yeah, can you articulate that? She can say, no, no, we've lived under the Islamic rule. We know what it is. We're seeing the media blackout. People don't know what oppression is. We can tell you what oppression is. This is someone who is able to articulate their point because they have thought about it for decades. By the way,
00:44:02.000I had friends when I was in Montreal. They went to visit family in Iran. They didn't come back. Yeah. So that happens all the time. You can say that we shouldn't be involved, but you can't say that it's a psy-op to try and paint this regime in Iran as something that they're not. Now, to be fair, they made a good point that there's pretty much a blackout on mainstream media. The BBC, however, did use their pidgin language site. Pidgin. Is it pidgin? It's pidgin. No, it's pidgin,
00:44:28.000but it's not like a pigeon or a bird. It's like a Polynesian slang. Yeah. I didn't see it. Sorry. I meant it's not the bird. Well, I was right and you were wrong. Correct. That's true. That's fine. I still love you. I'll own it. I understand where you're going from, Gerald. You don't want people thinking that BBC has a network dedicated just to crappy city birds. Right, yeah. Then it would just be Pierce Morgan on 24-7. That's the Animaniacs. That's a different show. They haven't really covered it a whole lot, But they did on their pigeon language site.
00:45:42.000They just compare everything to Iraq, everything to Iraq, everything to Iraq.
00:45:45.000That's not the only example that you have throughout history.
00:45:47.000and especially not with Persia. With a nation that is not historically an Islamic nation. It is not an Arabic nation. They view themselves as very different. They are much more educated. They have higher IQs. And it's a much more secular and also Christian society than the rest of the Arabic world. They know what it can be like in comparison to this. I also think that both can be true. I think that the map could change,
00:46:10.000the relationship could change. Everything could change for the better over 10 years, 20 years, whatever the time is. And then eventually it's looked upon as a failure. Yes. Human nature. People are going to mess up. Someone's going to be corrupted. It never works out perfectly. It's only worked out great here. It's going to end up as a failure regardless. It always depends on the ins. You can spin it that way. It depends on the ins and out points that you pick. For example,
00:46:35.000you could look at the United States and go, it started off as a great place. You had George Washington. We went through it. But then you ended up with Joe Biden, so it's a failure. Right. Depending on where you look at it. The war in Afghanistan that we had, you leave sooner, Could have been looked at as a failure. I mean, no matter when we left Afghanistan, it was going to look like a failure. Right, yeah. So, I mean, it was quite a failure. Well, the withdrawal method. The withdrawal method, yeah. It's the graveyard of empires. There's a reason it has that name. Speaking of failures,
00:47:02.000let's go on to Minnesota and ICE and what's going on. So we went international, now let's go domestic. A couple of things. Before we get to claims and truths, I really want you to remember, please,
00:47:16.000this is a public service announcement. Don't run over federal authorities with your car. It increases your chances of living quite a bit. I don't know that lady,
00:47:46.000but I assure you, she sucks. That lady sucks. You go to her house, her kids are eating weird snacks that she made. Car smells weird. There's no dad in sight. Yes. It's fabric seats with a crust on that will never be identified,
00:48:02.000like a strata layer. Ten-year-old kids are eating their boogers. It's a whole thing going on. So, why do certain people gravitate towards certain things? You know, Asians to Ivy Leagues, right? Medicine, for example. Dominicans to Major League Baseball. And white, Middle-aged liberal women to uh wailing in the streets and acting completely irrationally and not even in our own self-interest.
00:48:56.000Well uh, what are you about, Statesman Noodle?
00:48:58.000I was just gonna say their parents should have let them play, might hockey?
00:49:00.000Yes yes, they should, although I think it's no contact with ladies.
00:49:04.000So the backlash to the murder of the mother of three.
00:49:08.000Renee Good. I do quotes because well, it's all a lie. They continued to escalate this weekend. I warn you, some of these clips involve simultaneously Uh, verifiably stupid people, and it's tough to take, But I want you to hear it straight from the horse's mouth.
00:49:24.000The deadly ice shooting of Minneapolis woman Renee Good has sparked massive anti-ice protests in the U.S. over the weekend.
00:49:33.000Demonstrators assembled near the ice headquarters in Washington, D.C. on Sunday.
00:49:37.000His immigration crackdown is making communities less safe.
00:49:40.000The killing of Renee Good made that abundantly clear.
00:49:43.000Is the killing of Renee Good, the 37-year-old mother with stuffed animals in her glove compartment, having dropped off her daughter, her son at school, her six-year-old, is she, is this a watershed moment?
00:49:59.000I think that she may have been a watershed moment.
00:50:11.000What I'm seeing here happening is not America.
00:50:13.000I mean, today Vice President Vance even proactively went out to the White House briefing room, which means it was on his schedule, they planned for this, and spent 35 minutes at the podium smearing Renee Good's reputation.
00:50:31.000so it's hard to BS right now. Police do not have the right to shoot you in the face. They need to pull that chain around. The scale of demonstration in Minneapolis is not new, as many also showed up to protest against George Floyd's killing. Many of those grassroots activists still on the ground never stop. What do you make of these demonstrations now, Attorney General Crump?
00:51:34.000it's not because they're black. Don't make it a thing, okay? I know that that'll be implied. So the best way to stay in, download the Rumble app. Don't be in the social media ghettos. Download the Rumble app. Follow us there because we're long past playing ball for We have seen the goalposts move non-stop,
00:51:50.000which, you know what, let's just hit a segment of then and now. So then, Adam Schiff, yes, good old Schiff, he said that good was just a mom dropping her kids off at school. Remember that? It's horrifying to watch, and to think about this 37-year-old woman who drops her kid off at school, not involved in protest activity or anything. Oh,
00:52:19.000really? What school? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Well, that brings us to now. None of what he just said was accurate, by the way. No, not at all. And she wasn't just there protesting. He says she wasn't involved with protesting. She was leading it. She was doing it all day, committing multiple felonies. Here's some new footage that has emerged showing her car parked perpendicular to the street, blocking it. People say,
00:52:44.000not blocking. Some cars can go by, but you also say that she moves the car to try and more effectively block ICE Three minutes in this one instance. She'd been doing it all day. Not involved in protesting. That's her horn,
00:53:10.000I believe. Honking and dancing. Mocking. Protesting. And yes,
00:53:22.000that's a T-Rex. That's the craziest thing. What about disturbing the peace? What about people who work? She's about to pull forward a little bit. She's like,
00:53:49.000ah, she was letting him by. Then she moves back forward to impede the ICE officer. Ah, there we go. A little more. There's a little more. I can do a little more, right? Yep, I can do a little more. I can make it difficult for people to do their job. And here's something. I've heard a lot of people say,
00:54:12.000you'll see people on the left go, oh, so just because she was dancing, you don't shoot people for dancing in their car. That's not why she was shot. No. Let's walk through this. Alright, all day. Following, protesting, screaming, shrieking, impeding officers. Okay, She wasn't shot for dancing.
00:54:47.000So let her do it all day and let her go.
00:54:49.000This is why I say it's for the soul of America.
00:54:51.000What kind of a country do you want to live in where people can impede, assault, act unlawfully, disturb the peace, and just get away with it and later on get a citation?
00:55:32.000By the way, if she had not run over this officer, if this officer who looked like he was walking right in front of the car, maybe add five seconds to this.
00:55:40.000and he's walked around and he's more towards the driver's side door, and she tries to pull away, I doubt those guys would have chased her down. They should. But I doubt they would have. Probably not, because he was already recording and got her license plate number. Yeah, right. Be like, okay, let's get this brought out of the way if we have to deal with her later, fine. But it's the running over a police officer that needed to be avoided here. And this is the reason that invoking the Insurrection Act is more complicated than it should be. It shouldn't be complicated at all. Because historically,
00:56:06.000you haven't had governors and mayors actively fighting the federal government and federal law. Which brings us to then. Mayor Jacob Frey. Remember, he said that the self-defense argument was, in real talk,
00:56:22.000quote, bullshit. They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly, that is bullshit. Okay, so there was no act of self-defense. People were saying, remember, that he wasn't hit. Okay, goal post move! Because now it's, well, I'm just sure he, maybe he was I mean,
00:56:52.000the ICE agent walked away with a hip injury that he might as well have gotten from closing a refrigerator door with his hips. He was not injured. I've seen worse injuries from doing that. So it could be worse. No,
00:57:10.000he was not ran over. He walked out of there with a hop in his How many stitches did he have the last time he was dragged by a car? Is that relevant? So, in other words, If it doesn't, if you're not injured badly, call us when you're dead.
00:57:28.000Call us when you're maim exactly, I don't want to hear a word about any of the police officers that took their lives or died of heart attacks or anything else following the events of january 6th.
00:57:37.000Ever again from anyone in Minneapolis.
00:57:43.000In the middle of this, the second that accelerator is thrust, you have no idea if it's going to be a tiny hip injury, as the mayor there said, or tires running over your, your sternum and cracking your chest and crushing your skull.
00:59:01.000I say, go get yourself some lunch, big boy. What's the white knight in here? He just assaulted him and he got his camera back. You hit her? I can't believe it. You just stole her mask. That was it. Oh,
00:59:19.000please. Careful. Please. Lesbians. With a pepper ball, I would have loved to see that. I don't want these people to feel like they can act with impunity like this. Oh,
00:59:40.000then why are you giving her a warning? I'm giving her a warning to not interfere with what we're doing, to not make a bad decision today and ruin your life. Well, bad decision. That's funny coming from you. Okay. Alrighty. Thank you. Have a good day. I hope you have a terrible day. Okay,
00:59:55.000thank you. Yeah, and keep in mind who these white liberal women are protecting. Here's a list of some of the illegal aliens who've been arrested in Minnesota and some of their charges. Strong-arm sodomy,
01:00:13.000child prostitution, rape of a 12-year-old girl, rape and child fondling, homicide, DUI homicide. Most of them are, of course, from Somalia, Sudan, places like that. And they were in jail? These people? No, they were in prison, right? Yeah, that's a good point. No,
01:00:28.000no. Oh, they're just out there. Those old sanctuary cities. Uh-huh. Yeah, so these women are willing to be out there and protest and assault ICE officers. Let's assume that the ICE officer's a dick. Okay? Is he a child rapist? Because that's who he's going after. Who's worse? They won't give you an answer on that. They won't. They'll just say fascism. And this was commented on, By the way, And I do mean white liberal women.
01:00:54.000Specifically because they are the only ones with the power, as a voting bloc, to transform the fabric of our country as they have.
01:01:01.000It was commented on pretty tactfully by this person who goes by Ray Valentina.
01:01:33.000When you have that superiority complex that you're a white woman saving the .
01:01:38.000Ugh, I have a mission. I have to save the . The funniest thing is, the very people that she was out there and got shot for are making fun of her death. They're not hailing her as a hero. Perfect. That's the smallest bleep I've ever heard. I mean, to be fair, she was bleeding. I needed it anyway. Just think of the people they've lined up to support. Whether it's George Floyd, whether it's Chaz Chop, Michael Brown, I mean,
01:02:05.000go through. And then now this lady. How do they always get it wrong? Child rapists, sex traffickers, members of gangs. You'd think they'd get one right accidentally,
01:02:20.000and I will tell you why. For the same reason that you felt this viscerally when you watched that montage. They're influenced by evil. Anyone want to watch that shrieking, that completely irrational display of undirected emotion and say that it's anything other than straight from the pill of hell? It is narcissism pathologized. And for you,
01:02:42.000look, we can't solve all these issues. I do believe we should invoke the Insurrection Act. I'm going to make the case here in just a minute. You can hit that button. Join Rumble Premium.
