00:00:00.000 What would you say is the primary reason you wouldn't want to be the new leader of Iran?
00:00:03.060 I'm America first.
00:00:04.380 This is the greatest country in the world for me. 1.00
00:00:07.560 It's so dumb. 1.00
00:00:08.760 It's inverted. 0.99
00:00:09.720 Everybody who claims to be America first are supporting what's destroying this empire,
00:00:14.140 destroying this country.
00:00:15.140 Everybody they say hates America, people like me.
00:00:17.060 If you had listened to me at the start of this war, 0.77
00:00:19.000 when I said that they're not here to free Iran,
00:00:20.920 everybody that was upset, if they had listened,
00:00:22.580 then the economy would be in a better place.
00:00:24.340 Our country would be in a better spot than it is now.
00:00:26.800 Instead, they demonize people like me.
00:00:28.260 and then people like this are hailed as nationalists. Well, look now, what happened
00:00:32.420 to those people? Everything I said that was going to happen in this war happened. I got it completely
00:00:36.180 right from the start. Do they change? Do they admit they were wrong? No, they just adjust.
00:00:40.240 They just shift the goalposts.
00:00:41.360 like i'm a artist the heart made my hair spin 360 degrees baby
00:00:46.820 patrick bet david was on the jack neil podcast i'm wondering if this is uh interesting to listen
00:00:59.820 to so apparently patrick bet david was approached i don't know if you guys think this is cap or not
00:01:04.280 pbd says that he was approached to be the next ayatollah can you believe this
00:01:09.440 Oh, okay. I'm an IRGC guy. Okay. Okay. I'm an Ayatollah guy.
00:01:17.880 30 days before the U.S. and Israel bombed Tehran, the times of Israel ran a piece.
00:01:22.560 Why Patrick Bet-David is the leader Iran needs. Have those ideas been entertained by any serious players in your life?
00:01:29.340 We had extensive conversation about this last July. When we were in the Hamptons, I got calls saying, do you have any interest?
00:01:34.920 would i be able to change the economy be a glue between the states and europe and open up the
00:01:41.480 market where the 92 million people i'm calling cap i think he wants to start a political career
00:01:46.700 and so he's inserting himself he's trying to make the subconscious within society comfortable with
00:01:52.880 him being a politician do you really think that he was approached by bb netanyahu and trump to be
00:01:57.080 the ayatollah start doing business creating jobs economy yeah i think i could do that but as the
00:02:02.760 guy to be the leader doing that i got four kids 14 12 10 four years old do i want to put him through 0.98
00:02:08.200 this right now no i would have to be there i would need to live there this isn't like a zoom president
00:02:12.880 you get that job that job has to be you're moving there we talked about it probably for two or three
00:02:18.000 months and then at the end of the day i said it's just not a job i want to do right now so he was
00:02:22.480 like pbd i'm a numbers guy was gonna stop doing the crypto summits and he was gonna stop appearing
00:02:28.540 and coffee zilla to be the ayatollah this is the new pbd development now you share this for advice
00:02:35.420 there's no with haters but i want to ask you a different question about it you're not the boy who
00:02:40.540 watched bombs fall on the people of tehran who calls his mother my mom in regard to the iran war
00:02:50.380 which country is the eagle and which country is the crow what a great question which country is
00:02:58.260 the eagle which country is the crow well question is really do you side with the people bombing
00:03:03.300 your country or your countrymen do you do you side with the people that are trying to eradicate
00:03:09.280 you from society or your own um maybe let's ask which country is the instigator right and i'm not
00:03:19.220 a guy that when i make this comment it's gonna sound weird of me saying this yeah i will you
00:03:24.540 You have three countries involved here.
00:03:25.980 You have Iran, U.S., and Israel, right?
00:03:29.920 Right.
00:03:30.380 Of the three countries, the one that has the highest priority of making sure IRGC is no longer around is who?
00:03:38.080 Israel, not us.
00:03:39.660 Why? 0.68
00:03:40.580 Closer, Middle East, region, all of that.
00:03:43.680 So we rely on their intel to tell us on what's going on with Iran. 0.51
00:03:48.600 and so that intel when we get could be good bad ugly could be whatever they want it to be right
00:03:54.600 so that's a very interesting dynamic now you know the the u.s will say we're allies red glenn
00:04:00.800 greenwald's comment to jack neil's twitter post of this interview in the numbers guy and iran i
00:04:07.500 lived there for a long time you know living with hezbollah's is not a lot of people are trying to
00:04:11.540 say oh my god hezbollah's not that bad hamas you know houthis you know these guys you live with
00:04:16.420 hezbollah they're in lebanon not iran you know they're not as bad as people think it is they're
00:04:20.400 just you know they're reacting they're like our military they're like our navy seal they're like 0.99
00:04:24.380 pbd rabar long live ayatollah pbd never heard such retard thing circus the ayatollah pbd 0.97
00:04:32.340 the new ayatollah adam sosnick and patrick bett david 0.85
00:04:37.480 it's crazy with the tds at 20 though i need to lock in or are this and it's fine 0.50
00:04:43.720 that that's the argument that they're making but irgc is willing to kill their own people
00:04:50.860 and they've done that many times it's nothing new when we lived there was the same thing as well
00:04:54.580 so in this situation i don't know if i would put of course we are the leader of the free world
00:05:01.720 u.s has always led everybody when people say what country they want to go live and they talk about
00:05:05.700 america the greatest country the greatest system we have the longest line of people knocking on
00:05:12.100 door to want to come here and that's not changed it's so funny too that he's grifting the right-wing
00:05:17.700 nationalist movement he's literally an immigrant from what they call the third world so under their
00:05:22.420 leadership he would be sent back on a boat straight to iran right back home greatest country in the
00:05:29.700 world those people as long as you're useful right now he gets to be in the arena as soon as they get
00:05:36.020 what they want you'd be gone too and he's saying that iran they're full of terrorists we just saw
00:05:40.500 videos of ben gavir saying specifically that there's a death penalty only for palestinians
00:05:45.300 that he's part of the jewish power movement he's saying specifically that lebanon should be wiped
00:05:50.320 one israeli tear is equivalent to a thousand lebanese tears no one wakes up in the morning
00:05:55.360 saying let me go live the iranian dream nobody wakes up in the morning saying let me go live the
00:05:59.300 you know the middle eastern dream maybe uae they've done a good job maybe qatar maybe saudi
00:06:06.080 maybe they've been able to attract ronaldo and soccer and they're kind of wanting to be a little
00:06:09.600 bit more western not fully okay ronaldo is why they're western because ronaldo signed to all
00:06:17.600 halal now it's a western civilization can they also stop saying cutter it's qatar cutter
00:06:22.820 okay so here's glenn greenwald calling him out because uh his claim pbd says that he was going
00:06:29.380 to be the ayatollah glenn greenwald says lol the times of israel didn't run a hit piece suggesting
00:06:34.020 pbd be the new leader of iran as they made clear it's just some random outside commenter with
00:06:39.420 zero connection to the paper like the equivalent of citing a youtube comment and saying google
00:06:43.220 suggested that said the way you snuck your finger in your face in deep contemplation of the
00:06:47.820 suggestion and the clip it provoked is one of the funniest things ever produced on the internet 0.62
00:06:51.960 kudos so let's see did the times of israel really put out a hippie saying this okay it was one
00:06:58.900 comment why pbd is the leader iran needs the views expressed herein are solely mine jose
00:07:07.600 Alvarez Gomez
00:07:09.040 Convy
00:07:10.980 So Convy wrote a comment on Times of Israel
00:07:14.040 Saying maybe he should be the Ayatollah
00:07:16.460 Now he's saying that they approached him
00:07:18.160 For months
00:07:18.640 Not fully but they want to make it safe for you and I
00:07:21.980 To go there and enjoy a soccer game or
00:07:23.780 Some kind of an event but
00:07:25.520 This is a very complicated scenario
00:07:28.060 That we have today so now that Trump
00:07:29.940 Was trying to do the deal with them
00:07:31.280 I don't know if you saw the bombing yesterday
00:07:33.740 The missiles yesterday cup 100 missiles
00:07:35.620 It's pretty nasty.
00:07:36.560 The president just tweeted right now saying they are planning on taking over Karg Island.
00:07:41.480 And if they take over Karg Island and control Iran's oil, and then they're telling us that Iran is reaching out saying, let's do a deal.
00:07:47.840 Please stop bombing.
00:07:48.780 He says, I'm not doing the deal.
00:07:50.400 I'm not going to stop bombing until you sign the deal.
00:07:52.620 It's a very nasty situation.
00:07:54.620 So in that analogy, we're still the eagle.
00:07:58.340 You know, we are the ones that's up there.
00:08:00.040 And they're poking behind closed doors, trying to get a little bit of our attention.
00:08:04.720 but there's another proxy that's involved and that's it's funny too mediasan did a great job 0.71
00:08:09.560 when he ended iran is our friend iran is standing up for the goyim iran is the only one fighting
00:08:15.340 against that evil racial supremacist state pbd was talking to mediasan and said uh if he tried
00:08:21.720 to immigrate to america right now he would not be allowed because trump halted immigration from
00:08:25.600 iran so based off of that if he tried to come today he would have to stay in tehran getting 0.57
00:08:30.500 bomb with his people israel because they want iran's irgc to fall probably more than america does 0.56
00:08:36.260 why you're a neighbor you're right next to them you live close to them they can't stand you their 0.98
00:08:44.580 entire mo is to eliminate you so whether you agree with israel or not whether you like them or not 0.73
00:08:52.020 whether you support them or not you obviously support them he had a video saying maybe we
00:08:57.300 should have a comedy roast for bb netanyahu everyone's criticizing bb let's do a roast
00:09:04.420 you know what side you're on if another country spent billions of dollars to create
00:09:09.460 proxies to eliminate you and that's in their mission statement from early on not the updated
00:09:14.900 mission statement with their original mission statement you're probably going to wake up every
00:09:19.060 morning wanting to find a way to change that regime because back in the days again this has
00:09:23.540 been covered many times. Iran and Israel got along when the Shah was around. The Middle East wasn't
00:09:30.020 chaotic as it is today. So what has changed from 1970s to today? What has changed from the 70s
00:09:36.380 till today is Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard has had control since 1979. And all the chaos in
00:09:45.040 the Middle East pretty much started after 1979. Now, can we say that we were involved in some
00:09:50.780 dumb wars 100 percent do we spend trillions of dollars on some dumb wars that we didn't need to 0.53
00:09:56.160 yes if the military the one you supported just now 400 billion down the drain well done 0.99
00:10:01.500 we should go and wipe out the iogc regime change okay i'm a genocide guy now there's an mou which 0.84
00:10:11.680 it already seems like israel's breaching failing peace and he directly supported the downfall of 0.98
00:10:16.640 American economy and these people will say I hate America the industrial complex use some of the 0.91
00:10:22.460 money to create war because you know they're going to be able to make money on the back end yes
00:10:27.760 have we all followed that story yes I'm not convinced the president wants to have a 10-year
00:10:33.040 war with Iran I'm convinced he wants to go in and get it done now again the verdict because he thought
00:10:37.300 it was going to be Venezuela that's not how it works obviously he wants it to be as quick as 0.68
00:10:41.880 possible but that's not how it works with iran you don't defeat them like that this is not
00:10:46.820 somewhere it's on maduro you just go in and kidnap them it's much more complicated they learned their
00:10:51.080 lesson they underestimated the enemy it's all out it's not over yet but i don't think this is a man
00:10:55.840 that wants to have a long war with iran you tweeted the day this war started for 47 years
00:11:01.480 iranians have been waiting for this moment the world will be a safer place nine days later you
00:11:08.140 tweeted, no one knows how this ends, no expert, no analyst, no politician. What happened in those
00:11:14.300 nine days? And based on what you know now, when would you suspect this war ends? Or what would
00:11:21.640 be the factor that would actually allow it to end? So to kind of give you an idea on this situation
00:11:29.180 that we have. So one is, you know, the president who has all the intel that's leading this,
00:11:36.080 right going to war with iran when i said 47 years there are a few players because at the beginning
00:11:42.380 if you remember the president said regime collapse remember bb was celebrating because he's been
00:11:46.940 trying to get this war with iran he wanted america to fight their war for 47 years trump was the one
00:11:51.020 to do it regime change right this was something we're not just going in there for nuclear we're
00:11:55.940 going in there for this okay now the tone has changed for this recently they're no longer
00:12:01.880 talking about regime change or regime collapse why well what do you need for this to happen 0.99
00:12:07.960 you need to kill the ayatollah and replace them with a more radical ayatollah there was no regime 0.92
00:12:12.280 change leading voice and a candidate ironically the regime change happened in america now there 0.98
00:12:17.160 are they're echoing anti-israel sentiment from maga because they need to adjust the regime change
00:12:23.080 happened here didn't happen in iran right you need somebody that we trust and others trust that okay
00:12:29.480 hey, Iranian people, you have an example. Go get behind this guy. It's going to fall. It's going
00:12:34.420 to be a better place. Iran hasn't had that. It's not like anybody's out there campaigning. So 0.98
00:12:37.860 when I said 47 years, these guys have been in charge. Iran's been a shit show. It's been 1.00
00:12:43.400 horrible. You know, it'd be great for the Iranian people to be free. My position hasn't changed,
00:12:47.800 by the way. I interviewed the founder of Islamic Revolutionary Guard. I had him right here
00:12:52.120 in the building next door when he walked in. Was it actually the founder or was that a CIA plant?
00:12:56.140 He was a little bit worried on why am I here. 0.87
00:12:58.780 And he was the co-founder with Khomeini when they started Islamic Revolutionary God.
00:13:03.340 Khomeini would do the recording. 0.69
00:13:05.440 He would be the first voice. 0.97
00:13:06.700 Imagine you're speaking Khomeini.
00:13:08.460 I'm the one that would say, the next person you're about to hear is the supreme leader Ayatollah Khomeini, right?
00:13:13.780 And you would go into it.
00:13:14.820 This guy is who I brought into interview.
00:13:17.300 And I said, all this stuff that happened during that time, the chaos, you supported this.
00:13:21.160 He says, yeah, you're the co-founder.
00:13:22.740 I am.
00:13:23.760 What happened?
00:13:24.440 you know all these things that said was well i thought it was going to be noble i thought it
00:13:28.260 was going to be this it ended up being very bad so we have to identify that irgc is not a
00:13:33.900 net positive to the world now you some people will debate this you can't change my mind on this
00:13:39.220 i'm dead set on this here iran's a better one of those people that like pretends to be smart by
00:13:44.820 writing and like talking about numbers all the time oh i got a pen and paper so i know what i'm
00:13:48.500 talking about and he also loves to play the middle ground as if it's not clear who he supports
00:13:52.900 this shows it all if anybody's down so I have a crazy idea for Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel as
00:13:57.840 well as the world if you like it tag the world share with everybody if not just move on I think
00:14:03.740 the world needs a comedic roast of Benjamin Netanyahu sitting right in the middle with the 0.69
00:14:08.520 greatest comedians in the world from America I think we should do a comedy roast for a war 0.72
00:14:13.080 criminal okay okay I'm a sellout guy let's do it celebrities Tom Brady can come on out put him in
00:14:20.540 middle do a big celebration that'll end the genocide a roast on comedy central okay from
00:14:26.220 the middle east from egypt from everywhere just making fun of benjamin net yahoo for two hours
00:14:33.420 just like they did with trump many many years ago just like they did with tom brady and tom doesn't
00:14:38.780 like stuff like this neither does trump but they took it and what happened all the people that
00:14:43.180 hated brady they moved on all the people those are celebrities net yahoo is a wanted war criminal
00:14:47.500 it's like trump wasn't the president at the time it was 2012 when he was flirting with the idea of
00:14:51.340 running this is a sitting politician in charge of the nation that they're now admitting steals money
00:14:56.220 from us so that we can fight their wars this is the this is the worst video i've ever seen this
00:15:02.140 is just the most damning evidence that hated trump were like yeah let me go to the next person now i
00:15:07.260 think the temperatures are very high what's going on there what's happened there it's terrible it's
00:15:13.020 not slowing down people are going back and forth why not create a setting for people to say
00:15:18.700 everything they want to get it off their the genocide's not stopping instead of stopping it
00:15:24.460 tv test so nobody sits there and says well i feel like there's nothing i can say about israel because 0.63
00:15:30.220 if i don't want to get canceled here's your opportunity to come and say whatever you want
00:15:34.940 to say number two here's israel's opportunity to say you know listen we don't walk on water
00:15:40.540 we also have issues make fun of us let's move on trust me let's move on there's a lot of people
00:15:45.900 that are gonna hate this idea absolutely hate yeah i wonder why bro because you're saying
00:15:50.700 forget about genocide let's laugh together this idea but i think the world needs
00:15:58.540 someone in the chat said yo didn't haiti lost lol didn't haiti lose the typos are getting really
00:16:05.020 bad in the chat bro yeah haiti lost 3-0 not that bad w haiti bro did a great roast of benjamin
00:16:10.220 netanyahu and quite frankly i also think israel and bb need this as well bb needs this okay i
00:16:18.860 wonder whose side he's on country without being ran by these guys the world is a safer place
00:16:25.740 without being ran by these guys then you have the president who's being fed intel by who
00:16:29.980 Those who are non-interventionist
00:16:32.920 And they're saying what? Let's not intervene
00:16:34.860 J.D. Vance
00:16:36.260 Maybe Tulsi, maybe some of those guys
00:16:39.220 It's a waste of work, don't do it
00:16:41.180 Maybe Charlie Kirk
00:16:42.700 Put him in here, right? Don't do this
00:16:45.060 Then he's got the other people that are saying
00:16:47.160 We have the intel
00:16:48.840 We're ready to go do it, right? 0.83
00:16:51.000 It's going to be like Venezuela
00:16:52.180 We go in, we're out
00:16:53.200 But one thing we know for a fact, this is not Venezuela
00:16:55.600 It's a very different situation that they have
00:16:57.480 So he then has to make the final
00:16:59.840 decision of which side he goes
00:17:02.040 and who he listens to. He built
00:17:03.900 a team of rivals. He doesn't have a team that
00:17:05.760 everybody agrees with each other. He's kind of like Lincoln.
00:17:08.240 He built those guys there. So now
00:17:09.660 he may go in and then say, oh my
00:17:11.860 God, these guys are more powerful than I thought.
00:17:13.700 They have the backing. Then he has to pivot.
00:17:16.300 The word he used with me when I talked
00:17:17.960 to him on the interview, and I brought up Iran,
00:17:20.580 he said, we have to be fluid.
00:17:21.900 You don't know what's going to happen. Things could change.
00:17:23.780 Situations could change. And so I'm convinced
00:17:26.080 whatever happened, Iran
00:17:27.820 didn't have a main figurehead
00:17:29.520 that we trusted to support so if we know this guy doesn't exist trying to be professor jang a lot
00:17:35.860 of people thought it was going to be reza palavi we know if this guy doesn't exist then we know
00:17:39.440 regime change and collapse cannot happen okay because you need a voice you need a face like
00:17:43.760 argentina was who javier billet el salvador was who bukele you know you look at all these countries
00:17:49.320 there's somebody that you can get behind if you don't have that then it's like if that's the case
00:17:52.620 i'm just going now and it's going to be about nuclear oil straight of hormuz that's what we're
00:17:56.680 doing to her out so in february 20th basically they abandoned every original objective and just
00:18:01.100 had to capitulate and declare victory over the straighter four moves being open which was open
00:18:05.580 before the war started it's ironic too that this guy uh pelivi whatever this was their alternative
00:18:11.640 they're not beating the allegations with the nose like this bro not with this why are you 0.56
00:18:17.320 going to try to convince this is not helping your case when you got look at that honker bro
00:18:22.900 Get him the same Dr. Klopp guy.
00:18:24.960 Do you think Trump was imagining it to already be Reza? 0.92
00:18:29.640 No, not at all.
00:18:30.400 From the beginning, he says, I like him.
00:18:31.720 He's a nice guy.
00:18:33.320 But I don't know if he'd be the guy.
00:18:35.420 So from the beginning, he was not very complimentary of Reza Pallavi.
00:18:39.100 30 days before the U.S. and Israel bombed Tehran, the Times of Israel ran a peace.
00:18:44.260 It said, why Patrick Bet-David is the leader Iran needs.
00:18:46.620 Did you see this?
00:18:47.120 It said, not the Shah's son, but you are actually the man who fits in this moment.
00:18:51.220 i'm sure this is most yeah that's not a flex when israel sees you as a good puppet for them
00:18:55.960 that's not something to brag about just noise but have those ideas been entertained by any
00:19:02.360 serious players in your life entertain meaning brought up to me oh absolutely we we had we had
00:19:08.520 extensive conversation about this last uh i've never talked about this we had extensive conversation
00:19:12.520 about this last uh uh july when we were in the hamptons i got calls saying do you have any
00:19:17.560 interest and then we had some major money guys that came to me and said do you have any interest
00:19:22.100 of wanting to do this that's some major money guys in the hamptons who are those chat who are
00:19:26.440 the major money guys in the hamptons telling him to be the new ayatollah the states here uh so we
00:19:35.320 talked about it probably for two or three months and then at the end of the day i said it's just
00:19:39.020 not a job i want to do right now but this happened probably from july of last year till october and
00:19:46.220 we made the decision we're not going to be doing this but which is the primary reason
00:19:49.360 you wouldn't want to be the new leader of iran um i'm america first this is the greatest country 0.94
00:19:54.680 in the world for me it's so dumb it's inverted everybody who claims to be america first 0.99
00:20:01.280 are supporting what's destroying this empire destroying this country everybody they say hates 0.98
00:20:06.140 america people like me if you had listened to me at the start of this war when i said that they're
00:20:10.200 not here to free iran everybody that was upset if they had listened then the economy would be in a
00:20:14.900 better place our country would be in a better spot than it is now instead they demonize people
00:20:19.500 like me and then people like this are hailed as nationalists well look now what happened to those
00:20:24.960 people everything i said that was going to happen to this war happened i got it completely right
00:20:29.380 from the start do they change do they admit they were wrong no they just adjust they just shift
00:20:34.980 the goalposts i mean listen would i be able to change the economy be a glue between the states
00:20:40.460 and Europe and open up the market where the 92 million people could start doing business,
00:20:45.500 creating jobs, economy. Do I believe I would be able to do that? Yes. I have the confidence
00:20:50.040 from the business mind and being a problem solver that, yeah, I think I could do that.
00:20:54.020 Do I have any interest? No. Can I play a role and help out? Sure. But as the guy to be the
00:20:58.880 leader doing that, I got four kids, 14, 12, 10, four years old. Do I want to put them through
00:21:03.040 this right now? No. I would have to be there. I would need to live there. This isn't like a
00:21:07.200 zoom president that you're going to know if you get that job that job has to be you're moving there 0.92
00:21:11.640 and we had the conversation as a family and it's not something we're interested in to have that
00:21:15.340 job what what do you have to be able to do number one he wants to run for governor of florida ready
00:21:19.700 it's it's going to come next several years was born there i lived there 11 years so it's not
00:21:23.200 like i never lived there i lived there 11 years and then we went to germany and then we came here
00:21:26.920 okay you have to have a sense of having a message of selling the future okay you have to sell the
00:21:33.800 vision of did masad edit out that pod what was that cut what could happen to iran one day you
00:21:38.120 have to have ideas that's going to make it better for them you have to have thick skin because
00:21:42.080 everyone's going to attack you they're going to use phrases as this guy is the puppet this he's
00:21:45.480 a this he's you have to be ready for yeah yeah pretty much or it's not like you're not going to
00:21:50.100 take it any of those things doesn't bother me i feel qualified with it but i have young kids and
00:21:55.340 and for me i would be away from them what is this camp why do they what is this camera set up why
00:22:00.260 did they have a two these camera angles are not different at all it's the do they literally just
00:22:06.740 put two tripods with cameras next to each other what's the point of this to this shift at a phase
00:22:12.420 that they need me the most and uh my dad is definitely not for it my dad is like you know
00:22:18.180 he is 100 but i'm the leader of the household at the end of the day this is my decision that i'm
00:22:22.220 making i'm not making it because of other people i listen to everybody what they have to say
00:22:24.700 but we probably spend a good 80 hours on this decision this is not like something we took
00:22:29.120 likely but no it's not for us to do you were born in tehran uh during the iraq iran war
00:22:35.720 and the 80s when you saw the u.s bomb the city you grew up in were you cheering as an american
00:22:43.780 or did you think about the boy that escaped that country uh till today i have vivid memories of
00:22:50.840 what happened when i lived in iran and world was going on i remember the whistling sounds i remember
00:22:54.640 all of it uh every single one of i remember every single time war happened we escaped from tehran
00:22:58.440 My dad took us to a city called Karaj, which by the way, Karaj, one of the bridges got
00:23:01.680 hit recently.
00:23:02.840 Then we went from Karaj to a city called...
00:23:04.520 By the people you're supporting.
00:23:05.780 ...Bandar Pallavi.
00:23:07.200 And they have a different name for it today because back in the days, Bandar Pallavi was
00:23:09.980 Shah's name.
00:23:10.400 They won't let you call it Bandar Pallavi.
00:23:11.560 I think it's called Anzali or something else, but it's a different name.
00:23:14.220 So Bandar Pallavi is north.
00:23:15.700 It's right by this Caspian Sea.
00:23:17.720 We went there and then they started bombing Rasht.
00:23:19.980 Rasht is like 20 minutes outside of Bandar Pallavi.
00:23:22.560 And then eventually, you know, we came back and my mother told my dad, we can't do this.
00:23:26.340 We got to leave.
00:23:27.100 I am not celebrating for any of it whatsoever.
00:23:30.040 This is because there is a young kid who didn't do anything wrong.
00:23:33.520 That young kid could be a Muslim kid, a Christian kid, a Jewish kid.
00:23:37.500 It could be any kid.
00:23:38.480 He didn't do anything wrong.
00:23:39.380 He just wants to play.
00:23:41.020 He just wants to enjoy himself.
00:23:42.240 He wants to be free.
00:23:42.980 He doesn't want to be, he doesn't want to go play video games, be with his dad, be with his mom, be with his siblings, be in his classroom hanging out.
00:23:48.640 That's the part of war that is nasty.
00:23:50.360 Now, ideally, if we can figure out a way to get this thing done peacefully, that's the ideal way to do it.
00:23:56.340 But then the other side is as a leader, you have to also realize war is very nasty, very ugly.
00:24:01.340 You try to avoid it and you try not to fight.
00:24:04.220 No, you don't.
00:24:04.700 But every once in a while, just like as an individual, you have to defend for your family.
00:24:09.180 Every once in a while, you have to defend what you think is right.
00:24:11.780 And thousands of kids and Iranians being slaughtered, innocent in the streets, protesting, whether the number is 3,000 or 30,000 or 100,000.
00:24:19.600 They said every single one.
00:24:20.720 First, it was like 9,000, then it was 30,000.
00:24:22.940 And now Jigsaw is saying 100,000.
00:24:24.520 The regime is willing to kill.
00:24:25.680 And they ignore the fact that Mike Pompeo, the former CIA director, literally said those protests were infiltrated by CIA slash Mossad.
00:24:33.680 Admitted by the CIA director, those protests were armed and funded by the CIA and Mossad.
00:24:40.180 Let's own people.
00:24:41.580 And we have the ability to do something about it.
00:24:43.840 We ought to.
00:24:44.620 Especially in a situation like this in Iran, where it's not two countries fighting each other. 1.00
00:24:49.060 It's they're killing their own kind. 0.99
00:24:50.500 It's a devastating situation, but nobody is celebrating when they're getting bombed on.
00:24:53.500 Your mother, when the initial regime change happened in the late 70s, she celebrated when Khamenei came to power.
00:25:03.680 Is that right?
00:25:04.100 She did, yeah.
00:25:04.900 Did she later change her opinion on that?
00:25:06.860 She did. 0.65
00:25:07.040 PBD cannot shave his privates. 1.00
00:25:09.200 He has such itty bitty dick. 1.00
00:25:11.780 He is afraid of tear of it. 1.00
00:25:13.420 How did you even think of that, bro?
00:25:15.200 How did that cross your mind? 1.00
00:25:17.340 You have a sick brain. 1.00
00:25:18.680 A conflict between your mom and your dad over a long period of time, but I'm guessing that she changed that opinion. 1.00
00:25:23.000 They still have a conflict.
00:25:24.120 Those two cannot be in the same room together.
00:25:25.620 This is the first time since 1989 they live half a mile away from each other.
00:25:28.560 Everybody lives next to each other right now.
00:25:29.860 My mom, my dad, my sister.
00:25:31.540 I brought everybody down here.
00:25:32.580 But no, my mother grew up in a family that they were communists.
00:25:35.540 So their Bible was the Karl Marx Communist Manifesto.
00:25:39.020 They like Lenin, Stalin.
00:25:40.460 They like those guys.
00:25:41.220 They like Trotsky.
00:25:42.040 They like anything to do with communism.
00:25:43.520 My dad's side, they were imperialists. 0.67
00:25:45.660 They liked the Shah.
00:25:46.420 They liked Mohammed Reza Shah.
00:25:47.300 If you ever needed a reason to know that communism is evil, look who his family is.
00:25:50.760 They liked the father, who was really, you know, some would say he flirted with being a dictator.
00:25:55.300 His father was a very, very strong man.
00:25:57.460 The son, Muhammad Azar Shah Palavi, was a little bit more gentle, a little bit more even-keeled.
00:26:01.960 Not the dad.
00:26:02.480 The dad was tough, feared.
00:26:04.740 So that was the conflict between the two.
00:26:07.360 So my mother, the messaging was, look at communists.
00:26:10.540 Because Khomeini said, if you, you know, give me the power, I'm going to give you free rights.
00:26:14.800 I'm going to give you free this.
00:26:15.780 I'm going to give you free that.
00:26:16.480 And that message resonates a lot.
00:26:18.020 And then they came in, and none of that happened.
00:26:19.560 so then gradually she's like wait a minute what do we do here and then eventually after that you
00:26:24.520 know when my mother feared me turning 12 years old and staying in iran to be in the military
00:26:28.360 she said we got to get out of here went to my dad and we escaped went to germany and then we
00:26:31.040 another draft dodger just like trump eventually ended up here to touch back on what you would
00:26:36.780 be doing if you're funny that the the draft dodgers are the ones that push for the war the
00:26:40.820 most just like trump just like ben shapiro the people that are begging for genocide for ending 0.69
00:26:47.880 a civilization. They're always the ones that run away when conflict arises. Had seriously considered
00:26:54.500 doing the position and maybe were elected to be the leader of Iran. What would your first 24 hours
00:27:00.740 look like as president of Iran? Well, I mean, you know, within 24 hours, there's only so much you
00:27:05.440 could do. It's going to be a three, six, 12 month type of thing that you got to do. Number one is
00:27:08.540 showing strength to the world, showing diplomacy, talking to leaders, talking to others. So they
00:27:12.420 kind of know what the ideas are, presenting the ideas to the people. Then you're presenting the
00:27:16.280 ideas to the world and you're letting them know we need to open up uh the sanctions need to be
00:27:20.740 removed so we can start doing business again i think iran i don't know what their exact gdp is
00:27:23.920 right now but it's less than a half a trillion dollars give or take if you pull up iran's gdp
00:27:28.400 probably four to five hundred billion dollars and it's dropped even more now because of what's
00:27:31.960 happened with the economy i think one million people are directly unemployed another million
00:27:35.600 are indirectly unemployed they're losing don't you want to dodge draft yeah the difference is i
00:27:38.860 don't want war so it's like being a draft dodger and then encouraging others to die for wars you 0.93
00:27:43.420 Juan is the most coward thing you could do.
00:27:45.060 $500 million a day of revenue just from the Karg Island that's coming in.
00:27:49.320 So that would be what, $15 billion a month?
00:27:51.420 I'm a numbers guy.
00:27:51.840 So imagine how much that is times 12, 180.
00:27:53.820 I'm a numbers guy.
00:27:54.400 12 to $15 billion a month.
00:27:55.440 That's $200 billion of revenue to $150 billion of revenue you're losing.
00:27:58.560 When I went to Germany the first time and I came to the States and I had algebra in seventh grade
00:28:02.640 and my teacher says, here's the formula.
00:28:04.480 I don't speak English.
00:28:05.560 And I would automatically go and do the formula.
00:28:07.180 I'm like, everybody's looking at me.
00:28:08.080 Wow, look at this kid.
00:28:08.820 He's so good at algebra.
00:28:09.560 I'm like, we did this two years ago in Iran, fifth grade.
00:28:12.720 iranians are very very smart people like the education was you know we our standards and
00:28:18.480 expectation like if you meet many iranians that actually went to school they're very smart they're
00:28:22.980 very that's against the narrative we hear now it actually turns out and this is true iran is one
00:28:27.620 of the highest ranking nations in the world in terms of education look at the what happened
00:28:33.660 during epic epic fury they targeted schools universities mirandy said this extensively in
00:28:38.960 my show they purposely hit schools manab is one example but also universities because
00:28:44.260 america's probably a little bit jealous that they mogum in terms of education
00:28:47.760 amidst all these sanctions that they've been dealing with for decades educated they're not
00:28:51.860 they have an average IQ of 105 yeah they're they're it's tougher standards you know you're
00:28:56.180 almost afraid of not scoring good in iran because what the teachers could do to you they could hit
00:29:00.380 you they could do a lot of it's a very different standard they had back in the days so what could
00:29:05.120 you do with the resources that you have in iran with the people if we opened up the markets imagine
00:29:10.580 they got sanctions of how many countries can do business with them and you slowly open it up take
00:29:14.720 that half a trillion two trillion to two trillion maybe two and a half trillion you know gdp per
00:29:20.140 capita goes up starts competing with others all these guys of what dubai and qatar and some of
00:29:25.000 these guys did is what iran was doing in the 70s when iran went like this over 20 years everybody
00:29:30.920 was looking at iran saying man what the hell happened with iran i thought you guys needed
00:29:34.340 British Petroleum to take care of your oil. I thought you guys needed all these, you know,
00:29:38.640 help from UK to come in and, you know, help you build stuff. We didn't think you guys were smart
00:29:44.580 enough. No, no, no. The Shah's like, no, we're taking control. And then we signed that contract
00:29:47.820 in 1954, the 25-year oil consortium contract that was signed with all these different countries.
00:29:53.280 And it was expiring in 1979. And the Shah started talking very confidently when he's talking to BBC
00:29:58.280 or, you know, Michael Wallace or all these guys are like, wait a minute, they're getting too
00:30:01.980 confident and then one of the interviews he said he thinks he's going to be as strong as uk within
00:30:06.300 the next five to ten years and he had a smirk on his face and they're like yeah we don't want you
00:30:10.200 to have that kind of power yet and then the revolution happened let me give you an idea
00:30:14.260 so i grow my businesses and i used to get hate internally from the insurance industry when i
00:30:21.840 was small i didn't get a lot of hate guys that were bigger than me would say things like oh yeah
00:30:25.600 did he get rich off a pyramid scheme doing great or you're doing this right and i'm sure when you
00:30:28.960 had a hundred thousand subscribers everybody's like oh look at him he's a nice guy i don't know
00:30:32.380 what he's doing i don't know how many do you have right now two three four million you blew up you
00:30:36.740 blown up a lot so what do some people say about you when they criticize you oh you know they may
00:30:41.300 say he got lucky you know he's probably buying views he's probably paying the guests you've never
00:30:46.420 offered money to me when you're doing the interviews i just say yes you come then i think
00:30:49.140 this is our second one that we've done and you booked a lot of different people you've done very
00:30:52.300 good interviews okay but no matter what you think you're getting hate right now go to 10 million
00:30:55.940 and see what happens. Then have someone, we'll see what happens. So this morning I had a meeting
00:30:59.400 with a lawyer, one of the most powerful lawyers in America. We had breakfast together at seven
00:31:02.240 o'clock this morning. And we're sitting there and we're going through all the stuff that we're
00:31:06.000 doing. We need to do this. We need to do this. We need to do this. He says, if you think you guys
00:31:11.340 are being targeted right now, wait till three to five years, then wait for 10 years. You need to
00:31:15.980 be ready for it. It's going to get very nasty. I'm going to get targeted. Well, under the Shah,
00:31:20.660 Iran has been freed for many years since, and the West is trying to imprison.
00:31:24.980 they're free now from u.s israel imperialism and they want them back under that control
00:31:30.760 the cubans you see the same mentality convi comes to the chat and says cuba's going to be free
00:31:35.040 so what that really means is the u.s and israel will be in charge of cuba we got a discount great
00:31:40.840 yeah yeah we'll do this and then all of a sudden slowly he's buying military weapons are getting
00:31:44.440 stronger iran's getting stronger economy's getting stronger women cannot vote marriage age went from
00:31:48.860 9 to 12 to 15 and women can now go to school and get a degree we didn't have this in iran before
00:31:54.060 What is this guy doing over there?
00:31:55.180 And then next thing you know, when Churchill and different presidents, Roosevelt, want to have a meeting, they're meeting in Iran.
00:31:59.580 Why are you guys meeting in Iran?
00:32:00.580 We'll be kind of trust going to meeting.
00:32:01.820 Can you imagine today if the president's meeting with a few other guys, they said, let's go meet in Iran.
00:32:05.600 That won't happen today.
00:32:06.300 That used to happen in the 70s.
00:32:07.300 It used to happen in the 60s.
00:32:08.500 It used to happen in the 50s. 0.92
00:32:10.040 So if that were to be opened up, I think Iran would have the potential to get bigger than any of the other Gulf states within, I would say, three to five years, definitely 10 years. 0.72
00:32:20.500 Numbers guy. 0.97
00:32:21.560 Yeah, Khomeini, I told his evil, right? 0.76

00:33:22.980 beautiful place but we would make some incredible partnerships yeah he doesn't lead prayer he just
00:33:27.940 like has puts a bunch of numbers on a whiteboard and then his entire team has to bow down and then
00:33:34.420 empty their crypto wallets it's like there's no leading of prayer it's just him with the billboard
00:33:38.980 would iran it would open a whiteboard free market in ways we've never seen it before
00:33:43.960 I want to ask you about that, actually.
00:33:45.680 On Iran, do you have family still there?
00:33:49.980 I have one first cousin, and he lives in Iran.
00:33:52.340 He has a cousin in Iran.
00:33:55.080 Incredible, bro.
00:33:56.120 Did he go to school under the new regime change?
00:33:59.180 He did, yes.
00:33:59.700 He was born.
00:34:00.840 When I left, he was six months old.
00:34:03.560 So I left when I was 10 and a half.
00:34:05.280 He has a cousin there.
00:34:05.680 He's saying, Trump needs to get the job done.
00:34:07.320 Just get it done.
00:34:08.760 And I can't finish this part.
00:34:10.200 So he's going to be today, what?
00:34:11.640 uh 37 years old 38 years old i'm a numbers guy yeah i was researching um school textbooks just
00:34:19.160 kind of comparing how different countries present information and i saw something along the lines of
00:34:23.240 like in iranian schools they write that america is like big satan or something it's like some uh
00:34:28.760 the great wordage like that wasn't like that before 79 by the way we were allies when you
00:34:34.120 think about like the night the bombs hit february 28th uh did you call your mother that day did you
00:34:40.520 you call your cousin that day what was kind of like your close family thinking about the situation
00:34:44.640 i think what it was for everybody in our family is this gonna be the moment when iran's gonna be
00:34:50.980 free that we can go back and visit and go walk and show the family the places we grew up in
00:34:55.980 that's what everybody was thinking the war's over go you can go now right you got the mou
00:34:59.920 got what you wanted straight up from moose is open again go you think pbd pbd should go vlog
00:35:05.960 in iran it was literally that simple it was the dream because in 47 years this is the closest it's
00:35:11.260 ever gotten it's never gotten closer than this since khomeini took over since the irgc took over
00:35:16.320 it's never been closer than this so to us it was that level of excitement and enthusiasm there's
00:35:20.660 a reason why iranians venezuelans and cubans get along because the diaspora is predominantly
00:35:25.720 filled with people that are mentally captured thank you baby thank you trump thank you those
00:35:31.440 three get along because we all loved the country we were we love when we get bombed by the oppressor
00:35:37.540 born in and grew up in and we cannot stand what the new regime did to that country so you could
00:35:44.320 be a democrat republican or whatever it could be politically but generally if you're from those
00:35:49.000 three countries and you would like to be able to take your family back people are united you could 0.92
00:35:52.980 be an obama person or trump person hey i want to see iran be free those irgc people are horrible
00:35:56.660 man let's hope something happens right so that's the part with this where it was more of a dream 0.86
00:36:02.500 that maybe we can go back to the country we were born in when you think about okay moving on that's
00:36:08.020 pbd just gets more embarrassing every day
