Transcript

00:00:00.000 A story just came in, a tweet from Khamenei 40 minutes ago.
00:00:05.700 Our enemies don't know Iran.
00:00:08.040 In the past, the U.S. failed due to their flawed planning.
00:00:12.460 They too, today too, their flawed scheming will cause them to fail again.
00:00:20.320 Okay, so that's Khamenei.
00:00:21.520 Now keep in mind.
00:00:23.080 I don't know if he's in the country still.
00:00:24.520 No, we don't know that.
00:00:25.640 And he says, God willing, God will bring the feeling of victory
00:00:28.240 to the streets of the hearts of all the Iranian people very soon.
00:00:33.020 So he's been tweeting left and right.
00:00:34.560 Today, like the past, the U.S. is wrong in its calculation about Iran.
00:00:38.260 Today, the Iranian nation is even more equipped and armed
00:00:40.900 than that day before the revolution.
00:00:43.280 Both our spiritual strength and hard conventional weapons
00:00:47.020 can't be compared to what we had before.
00:00:50.440 By the way, he's tweeted like seven, eight, ten times this morning.
00:00:53.180 The Iranian people will not tolerate the heraldings of foreign powers.
00:00:56.760 Okay, so why don't we do this?
00:00:57.760 Khamenei, question for you in Pazeshkian.
00:01:00.040 Why did you turn off the internet yesterday?
00:01:02.020 Rob, if you want to go to the tweet, just go to my Twitter account, Rob.
00:01:06.400 You don't even need to go to a different place.
00:01:07.780 Yeah, right there.
00:01:08.680 So zoom in a little bit on the bottom of the chart to show to him.
00:01:12.200 This is the internet in Iran.
00:01:14.600 Completely shut down as of yesterday.
00:01:18.140 So Khamenei in Pazeshkian, why did you turn it off?
00:01:20.920 Why is that turned off?
00:01:22.400 Number came in right now, 50-plus people have been killed, died in Iran.
00:01:26.440 Now, some are saying it's in the hundreds.
00:01:27.900 When you talk to people who are Iranian, nobody knows.
00:01:30.580 But there's a lot of different things that are being talked about.
00:01:33.260 And on top of that, yesterday, I believe Reza Pahlavi, Rob, if you want to pull up his Twitter account,
00:01:39.720 there was a story by a guy named Eli who tweets out.
00:01:43.940 I send it to you, Rob, in your text.
00:01:46.880 There is a tweet by Eli.
00:01:49.140 Rob, I send it in your text.
00:01:51.060 There's a tweet by a guy named Eli that said yesterday Reza Pahlavi was going to meet with Donald Trump.
00:01:57.920 So that was a meeting that came out.
00:01:59.340 I say they're going to have a meeting.
00:02:01.120 At the beginning, the bottom tweet, Rob, if you can just click on the bottom tweet,
00:02:05.100 this was going viral, breaking.
00:02:07.180 Iran's crown prince is going to Mar-a-Lago to meet with the president.
00:02:13.020 Two hours later, after this goes viral, the same guy retweets and says, correction, good for him.
00:02:18.760 Crown prince Reza Pahlavi will hold a meeting at Mar-a-Lago, but he is not scheduled to meet with Trump.
00:02:24.780 And then yesterday, Hugh Hewitt asks the president a question of whether he'd be willing to meet with Reza Pahlavi.
00:02:33.520 And here's what the president had to say.
00:02:35.120 Go ahead, Rob.
00:02:35.660 Would you meet with Crown Prince Pahlavi, who is the heir to the constitutional monarchy?
00:02:44.220 He doesn't want to rule.
00:02:45.100 He would be a symbolic ruler like King Charles.
00:02:49.040 Well, I've watched him, and he seems like a nice person.
00:02:53.280 But I'm not sure that it would be appropriate at this point to do that as president.
00:02:57.300 I think that we should let everybody go out there and we see who emerges.
00:03:03.220 I'm not sure necessarily that it would be an appropriate thing to do.
00:03:07.220 Okay, so he doesn't want to meet with him.
00:03:08.900 Now, last week, in a Wall Street Journal interview, Reza Pahlavi said that we need no help from U.S.
00:03:17.800 The Iranians are going to be able to pull this off by themselves.
00:03:20.020 And I said, if that's the case, your father didn't go and become a king without any intervention.
00:03:25.080 He needed help.
00:03:25.740 You know that.
00:03:26.720 The world knows that, that people got involved to get him in there because they wanted Mossadegh out.
00:03:30.840 So that's a famous line at the Wall Street Journal, which a lot of Iranians were furious with.
00:03:35.740 We don't need a single boot of your military on the ground in Iran.
00:03:40.500 God criticized, hardcore, by his own people.
00:03:44.300 He flips.
00:03:44.880 Now, in every tweet he posts, Trump is in the tweet.
00:03:49.160 Rob, if you can go to one of Reza Pahlavi's tweets where he says, I am grateful that the president, I send you that tweet as well, Rob.
00:03:56.800 But if you just want to go to his account, you'll see it.
00:03:59.700 Yeah, if you just go to his account, go a little bit lower.
00:04:01.740 Not this one.
00:04:03.580 It is, no, not that one.
00:04:06.240 This is, okay, go to, that's the recent one which we'll get to here in a minute.
00:04:08.980 Go a little bit lower.
00:04:09.700 Right there, Rob.
00:04:11.960 If you can click on that one, show more, the one above it.
00:04:16.080 Okay, you can use that one as well.
00:04:18.000 It says, I want to thank the leader of the free world, President Trump, for reiterating to his promise to hold the regime to account.
00:04:25.740 So, Reza, what does that mean?
00:04:27.580 Do you want intervention or you do not want intervention?
00:04:31.280 So now you're flip-flopping.
00:04:32.520 And by the way, I want you to know, you know, if you're going to pull it off, pull it off.
00:04:37.280 It is time for others, including European leaders, to follow his lead and break their silence and act more decisively in support of the people.
00:04:45.220 Now, the one thing that we do know is Netanyahu has met with RP many times.
00:04:48.740 They had a picture.
00:04:49.600 So Israel definitely is supportive of Reza Pallavi.
00:04:53.140 But if you go on a previous tweet, Rob, he says another thing about Trump.
00:04:57.820 Go above it.
00:04:59.100 Go above it right there.
00:05:00.260 Click on that one.
00:05:01.040 Show more.
00:05:01.520 I appreciate President Trump as a leader, once again, for emphasizing the necessity of an analysis of time for others.
00:05:08.560 Go back up to the recent tweet that he just had up.
00:05:11.460 He just had a recent tweet that came up like 23 minutes ago.
00:05:15.020 That's the one right there.
00:05:16.640 Mr. President, this is an urgent and immediate call for your attention, support, and action.
00:05:21.980 Last night, you saw the millions of brave Iranians in the streets facing down live bullets.
00:05:27.920 Today, they are facing, Rob, can you please zoom in a little bit?
00:05:31.000 My eyes are like 47 years old.
00:05:33.040 Today, they are facing not just bullets, but a total communication blackout.
00:05:36.760 No internet, no landlines.
00:05:38.660 Khamenei fearing the end of his criminal regime at the hands of the people and will help of your powerful promise to support protesters has threatened the people of the streets with a brutal crackdown.
00:05:50.120 And he wants to use his blackout to murder these young heroes.
00:05:53.040 I've called the people to the streets to fight for their freedom and to overwhelm the security forces with sheer numbers.
00:05:59.600 Last night, they did that.
00:06:01.140 Your threat to this criminal regime also kept the regime thugs at bay.
00:06:05.700 By time is of the essence, the people will be on the streets again in an hour.
00:06:11.920 I'm asking you to help.
00:06:13.520 You have proven, and I know you are a man of peace and a man of war.
00:06:16.540 Lord, please be prepared to intervene to help the people of Iran.
00:06:21.720 Make up your mind.
00:06:23.120 I know that's very clear.
00:06:23.800 Let me just finish this up.
00:06:24.800 Make up your mind.
00:06:26.240 So do you want intervention or not?
00:06:28.160 Now, let me give you the other problem you're facing.
00:06:30.400 And by the way, some of the people online that are like, well, Pat supports MEK.
00:06:34.800 Let me just say this flat out.
00:06:36.020 I had a call yesterday with a higher-ups about MEK.
00:06:40.160 This is what I learned about MEK to all the people that are talking about MEK, MEK, MEK.
00:06:44.480 So MEK is somebody that was previously pro-Khomeini, and then they went and helped Saddam Hussein.
00:06:56.320 It's like Marxism meets, you know, jihadists, you know, Islamists combined together.
00:07:03.020 They're like, I don't even know if I would say AOC meets Mamdani of what they're doing.
00:07:07.580 I don't even think she's good for Iran at all.
00:07:10.560 But that's a name that's somebody that's out there.
00:07:12.200 Let me tell you what I'm looking for, for some of the people that are wondering if I'm paid by MEK.
00:07:17.420 One minute, so funny, I saw two tweets.
00:07:20.080 One tweet said I'm paid by Qatar.
00:07:21.820 The other tweet said I'm paid by MEK.
00:07:25.060 And six months ago, they said I got paid by Israel.
00:07:27.480 So who the hell am I getting paid by, right?
00:07:29.020 I'm not, you know, we're not taking money from anybody.
00:07:31.120 But this is the reality to the Iranian people and specifically to Reza Pahlavi.
00:07:34.640 Very important for you.
00:07:36.860 Very, very important to pay attention to this.
00:07:38.640 I contacted Kalshi this morning.
00:07:40.360 Rob, can you pull up the Kalshi numbers on who Kalshi sees as the next leader for Iran?
00:07:47.020 Okay?
00:07:47.400 So can you zoom in, please?
00:07:49.360 Next leaders for Iran.
00:07:50.860 If you go a little bit lower with the list of names and click more,
00:07:54.980 they have Mojitaba Khamenei at 25%, which means it's going to be another Khamenei.
00:08:01.000 Then they have Golsan Hossein Mohseni, 23%.
00:08:04.820 Then I have Hassan Khomeini, 19%.
00:08:08.500 Who do you not see on there?
00:08:10.620 You do not see Reza Pahlavi on there.
00:08:12.600 So I contacted Kalshi and I said, we need to add Reza Pahlavi to this list.
00:08:16.480 And Iranians, for those of you guys that are in America,
00:08:19.900 this is what the world is looking at.
00:08:21.920 Nowadays, decisions are being made by Kalshi.
00:08:23.940 Okay, for you guys to go out there and sit there and say, wait a minute,
00:08:26.340 how come he's not on there?
00:08:27.380 By the way, Nargis is not even on this list.
00:08:29.360 But Reza Pahlavi is not on this list.
00:08:31.080 So the people that are betting are saying we don't believe it's going to be him.
00:08:34.140 But I do believe he has a shot.
00:08:38.040 Here's the screw-up.
00:08:39.960 I would have gladly have said this privately,
00:08:42.960 but he's forcing me to say all this stuff publicly to him.
00:08:45.800 And all the Iranians, I cannot believe.
00:08:48.460 You know, Shoma Nebidun and Shehath Mizani and all this other stuff.
00:08:51.360 Listen, we want to see this happen, okay?
00:08:54.360 We would like to see this happen.
00:08:56.200 I wish he had competition.
00:08:58.240 There literally is no competition in Iran that's going up against RP.
00:09:02.620 I wish there was.
00:09:03.760 This is why he's so soft.
00:09:05.160 He needs competition.
00:09:06.500 He needs somebody to poke him.
00:09:08.020 He needs somebody to disrupt him.
00:09:09.660 He needs somebody to wake his ass up.
00:09:11.460 And I'm willing to play that card because there's no other candidate.
00:09:14.020 Not Nargis, not any of these other guys.
00:09:16.080 That would be good for the Iranian people.
00:09:18.060 But Reza Pahlavi, pay very close attention,
00:09:21.160 and I'm going to give you a case study of somebody to watch.
00:09:24.220 Venezuela.
00:09:26.560 Maduro was taken.
00:09:28.520 When he was taken,
00:09:30.560 everybody thought it was going to be Maria Corina Machado.
00:09:33.760 What did he do?
00:09:34.500 He says no.
00:09:35.920 He put Maduro's VP in there,
00:09:38.480 reporting to Marco Rubio.
00:09:41.420 Marco Rubio is more about intervening.
00:09:44.380 J.D. Vance is not.
00:09:46.700 Watch what Maria Corina Machado did.
00:09:49.400 Pay very close attention because you suck at diplomacy.
00:09:53.160 Reza Pahlavi.
00:09:54.100 You absolutely suck at diplomacy.
00:09:56.560 So I'm going to give you this message,
00:09:57.920 and I'll be the guy that's pushing you around a little bit,
00:10:00.480 and I can be the enemy.
00:10:01.500 Gladly I'm comfortable with it.
00:10:02.760 It doesn't bother me.
00:10:03.840 All these messages and videos you guys make,
00:10:05.800 you're comical to me because you're so worried about,
00:10:09.220 God forbid somebody says something to this man
00:10:11.160 that is going to be a little bit too sensitive.
00:10:12.540 If you don't talk to him this way, I will gladly talk this way.
00:10:15.940 And you can say whatever you want to say.
00:10:17.720 Nothing is going to happen here.
00:10:19.520 I'm going to be comfortable giving this message.
00:10:21.620 Maria Corina Machado,
00:10:23.220 the worst thing that happened to her to be the leader of Venezuela
00:10:27.060 was when she won the Nobel Peace Prize.
00:10:29.520 The day she won it, she knew, look how wise she is.
00:10:31.960 She knew, if I have to exchange this Nobel Peace Prize
00:10:36.740 to help Venezuela be free, screw this Nobel Peace Prize.
00:10:41.200 I want Venezuela to be free.
00:10:43.640 And you know what she just said?
00:10:45.140 She says, I want to fly out to go meet with the president
00:10:49.940 to hand him over the Nobel Peace Prize.
00:10:54.420 And then the president has asked this question.
00:10:57.400 Is this the one, Rob?
00:10:58.500 Is this the short segment?
00:10:59.860 Because I don't want to go through the whole seven-minute one.
00:11:03.160 Sean Hannity asked the question and says,
00:11:05.440 she offered to give you the Nobel Peace Prize.
00:11:08.860 What would you do about it?
00:11:10.140 If you can play this clip, please.
00:11:11.520 Go for it.
00:11:12.620 Let me ask you about Maria Corina Machado.
00:11:16.580 I've had her on TV this week.
00:11:18.240 Yeah, she's a very nice person.
00:11:19.400 Okay, she won the Nobel Peace Prize.
00:11:22.980 When she accepted that Peace Prize, she dedicated it to you.
00:11:26.940 She said to me this week, both on TV and radio.
00:11:30.540 Brilliant.
00:11:31.200 That she wants to give the Nobel Prize, her Nobel Peace Prize.
00:11:35.080 The people matter more to her than her ego.
00:11:39.400 In 2023, she won over 92% of the vote to be the leader of the opposition.
00:11:44.960 Maduro kept her off the ballot.
00:11:46.500 Do you have any plans to meet with her?
00:11:49.960 And would you accept the Nobel Prize she wants to hand to you?
00:11:54.140 Well, I understand she's coming in next week sometime.
00:11:57.600 And I look forward to saying hello to her.
00:11:59.440 And I've heard that she wants to do that.
00:12:01.300 That would be a great honor.
00:12:03.040 I did put out eight wars.
00:12:05.880 Eight and a quarter, because, you know, Thailand and Cambodia started going at it again.
00:12:09.720 I'll put the list up if you want.
00:12:11.560 You can pause it right there.
00:12:13.060 You can pause it right there.
00:12:13.880 So remember, look at the diplomacy and the wisdom of Maria Karina Machado, who is like,
00:12:22.160 why the hell would you give me the Nobel Peace Prize?
00:12:24.500 This man prevented eight wars.
00:12:25.800 You're giving it to me.
00:12:26.840 She's wise.
00:12:28.440 She says, I would much rather give it to you because she knows she's going to need his help.
00:12:33.500 I want to applaud you, Reza Pallavi.
00:12:35.620 You've been more diplomatic the last four or five days since I called you out on reaching out to the Trump's camp.
00:12:41.120 And apparently you've been trying to get a hold of their camp.
00:12:43.660 You're taking the right approach.
00:12:45.460 But just keep in mind how she played.
00:12:48.080 That is the best.
00:12:49.060 You are the luckiest man alive to have a case study right now of Venezuela taking place.
00:12:53.120 That is a very similar story to Iran.
00:12:55.540 Make sure whoever's in your ear, you're making the right next few moves.
00:13:00.740 You're going to need his help.
00:13:02.100 This nonsense article you did with Wall Street Journal, I hope nobody ever reads it again.
00:13:06.480 You know, we don't need anybody's help.
00:13:08.340 You've shifted because you're paying close attention.
00:13:11.220 But if you take this next move properly and you go to the man and you're respectful with him, he comes and help you out, you have a standing chance.
00:13:18.720 I don't know what that role is going to be.
00:13:19.840 I'd like to see you be on Calci so other people can vote for it.
00:13:22.260 But according to the people that bet in Las Vegas, they don't believe you're winning.
00:13:26.420 I think Iranians, go on Calci on that, Rob, can we put that link below for Calci because the world is seeing this kind of stuff to see who they're going to be rooting for?
00:13:36.720 And FYI, go to another report on Calci, Rob, the one that says which leaders are about to fall.
00:13:41.760 Watch this, folks.
00:13:42.500 This is to the Iranians.
00:13:43.780 This is very good for you to see.
00:13:45.460 Watch this one.
00:13:46.160 Zoom in a little bit, Rob, if you can.
00:13:48.140 Who dare you say is going to go leaders that are going to be out in 2027?
00:13:52.020 Can you put more, Rob, on the bottom so the names go lower?
00:13:56.540 Click more.
00:13:57.400 Rob, I also sent you an image if you want that.
00:13:58.920 Watch this.
00:13:59.260 Look who's all the way at the top.
00:14:00.600 Wow.
00:14:01.140 Khamenei is number one at 60%.
00:14:03.600 Good, good, good.
00:14:04.020 Above everybody, Keir Starmer, Miguel Diaz-Canel, Netanyahu, Zelensky, Orban, he's above it all.
00:14:12.660 So, Iranians around the world, if you're watching this, my priority is for you to be free.
00:14:16.740 I'd like to come back and visit first.
00:14:18.240 To the people that are in RP's ear, encourage him to pay very close attention to how wise of a decision Maria Corina Machado made.
00:14:28.140 She didn't play this ego thing.
00:14:29.520 We don't need Trump's help, and he's making the moves.
00:14:32.000 If you don't, you're hurting your own people.
00:14:34.380 The Iranians need Trump.
00:14:35.980 You don't have a military to protect them.
00:14:37.900 Yes, they came out.
00:14:38.760 That's great.
00:14:39.440 But you're going to need Trump's help to be able to help you out with this next move that's taking place.
00:14:43.560 What would that Trump be, respectfully?
00:14:44.720 What would what?
00:14:45.400 What kind of help are you talking about?
00:14:48.240 Listen, what kind of help is the following?
00:14:52.780 You threaten somebody right now and say, I swear to God, if you say anything, I'm going to hit you.
00:14:57.200 Okay?
00:14:57.840 You're Rob Schneider.
00:14:58.300 I wouldn't say that.
00:14:59.240 I wouldn't say that.
00:14:59.600 No, but you hear me out.
00:15:00.060 I say there's two threats.
00:15:01.860 Whose threat do you think carries more weight, yours or Jon Jones?
00:15:07.900 I don't threaten people.
00:15:09.620 That's not the question, though.
00:15:10.800 The question is, whose threat carries more weight, yours or Jon Jones?
00:15:14.600 Jon Jones, obviously.
00:15:15.360 No shit, right?
00:15:16.160 So Jon Jones has got more threats.
00:15:17.400 But I don't think that that's a proper analogy.
00:15:19.780 But I think it's a proper analogy for the following reason.
00:15:22.460 What would be the?
00:15:23.040 And I'm telling you, I'm asking you a question with a question.
00:15:25.600 To me, what I'm saying is with Iran is Reza Pallavi's threat mean nothing to Khamenei.
00:15:31.340 True that.
00:15:32.300 Nothing.
00:15:33.260 Khamenei looks at Reza Pallavi and laughs at him.
00:15:36.040 Khamenei looks at Reza Pallavi, you're a little boy, you've never had a job in your life.
00:15:39.320 But Khamenei looks at Trump and says, that's not a guy I want to mess with.
00:15:44.380 Khamenei fears Trump.
00:15:46.140 He does not fear Reza Pallavi.
00:15:48.140 Anytime you're in this kind of a position, just like Maria Karina Machado, just like a Reza Pallavi, just like these guys, you have to sit there and say, I'm going to need some kind of leverage from somewhere.
00:16:02.460 Not even if it's somebody that fears us, I can get things done for my people.
00:16:07.120 So you're talking to leverage.
00:16:08.040 You're not talking about I'm talking about specific military action.
00:16:10.460 I'm not talking about go attack and send troops over there.
00:16:12.620 No, not at all.
00:16:14.020 But just the thought of the person knowing.
00:16:17.100 Because when Trump threatens and he did what he did to Khamenei, Trump's threats are not lightweight threats.
00:16:23.220 He has a reputation.
00:16:24.660 Sometimes when you build that reputation up as a person that when you say you're going to do something, you do it.
00:16:29.460 That's all you need.
00:16:30.440 OK.
00:16:30.860 All right.
00:16:31.180 Just asking.
00:16:31.700 I will say, though, we have to be, you know, we.
00:16:34.800 I just think if you go back to the Shah of Iran and how he was pushed out because Iran was getting at that time 16 percent of the oil profits in 1952 from the predecessor to British Petroleum.
00:16:50.700 And then when they said, well, we want to we want more.
00:16:55.580 And then the Brits said no.
00:16:57.800 And they said, well, can we at least look at the books to see if we're getting 16 percent?
00:17:02.060 Then they said no.
00:17:04.100 And then they asked for a million dollars from Truman to the Brits to overthrow Mossadegh because Mossadegh at that point nationalized the oil.
00:17:16.120 Then he went to Eisenhower and said, can we get and then Eisenhower said yes.
00:17:22.820 And then they sent a, you know, a paid mob in front of the presidential palace.
00:17:28.820 And then they and then they that didn't really work.
00:17:33.500 And then they sent to and then, you know, Mossadegh had to jump over the they burned it down.
00:17:38.780 Mossadegh had to jump over the fence.
00:17:40.020 And then he had 26 years of the Shah of Iran.
00:17:41.800 And during that time, the secret police, you know, we can't I mean, I would I would suggest that they not have that repeat of that, because what it did was it set up, you know, a similar thing to happen where people were if you could where anybody who was the opposition.
00:17:59.680 I don't think you follow the podcast, do you?
00:18:01.580 You know, you probably don't follow the Iranian story here with us.
00:18:04.040 I mean, I'm just talking about that.
00:18:04.560 That's that's that's the history that I know about it.
00:18:07.220 Right there is that you don't want a constitutional monarchy to return to Iran.
00:18:10.440 No, I'm saying that I don't want a secret police underneath the monarchy to return to Iran.
00:18:15.120 You're talking about Savak is what you're talking about.
00:18:17.900 OK, so then that's but here's what you have to realize.
00:18:20.420 I'm saying, look, I don't mind a, you know, a monetary, you know, sorry, a monarchy that would support a constitutional republic of some sort.
00:18:29.060 Absolutely.
00:18:29.680 I don't want a return of Savak.
00:18:31.980 You're absolutely right.
00:18:32.700 Yeah. And by the way, just so you know that we here are not about going, returning to constitutional monarchy.
00:18:40.480 I'd like to see a republic.
00:18:41.800 I'd like to see a democracy.
00:18:43.520 I'd like to see something like that.
00:18:44.620 But by the way, let's see the Iranian people decide that for sure.
00:18:46.840 But also when you talk about Savak.
00:18:49.060 Yeah.
00:18:49.480 You know what Savak is?
00:18:51.120 It's a secret police.
00:18:52.020 So Savak is MI6.
00:18:55.760 Savak is CIA.
00:18:57.360 Savak is Mossad.
00:18:59.040 So but but but the but the part about Savak that you have to think about is the way you look at Savak is what Iranians in the Middle East and the world thinks about CIA.
00:19:09.880 Sure.
00:19:10.460 No, they're not wrong.
00:19:11.540 Yeah. So so to us, like, you know, we have in RCI, when we go look at the history of ours with with economic hit, man, we would go to other countries who had resources and say, hey, you're going to take this debt from us.
00:19:22.060 You're going to do business with us or else we're going to kill you.
00:19:24.360 These are documented meetings that we had with world leaders in the past.
00:19:27.700 Yeah.
00:19:27.880 And so that's that's Savak.
00:19:29.840 I know it's it's always very comfortable.
00:19:33.060 Radicalized people.
00:19:33.780 And it's set up the situation for the Khomeini.
00:19:36.440 So I'm saying let's not do a repeat of that.
00:19:38.080 Well, listen, the Iranian people let them decide.
00:19:39.980 What happened with Reza Pallavi at the end is he got soft at the end because he allowed the the 3,000 political prisoners when Jimmy Carter's like release them all.
00:19:50.380 That ended up being Hezbollah's that ended up being the ISIS that ended up being all those guys.
00:19:56.740 Yes, but I'm talking about the 20 respectfully PBD, if I can call you that.
00:20:00.760 No, respectfully, I think the 26 years of of really not allowing any political opposition to his reign created that kind of tension and that kind of that's a fair argument for that.
00:20:15.920 Yeah.
00:20:16.080 So and I think at the end of the day, I mean, you're a rational person who wants what's best for the Iranian people.
00:20:20.860 And that is to your credit.
00:20:23.300 And I think we all do.
00:20:24.560 But I think it's it's important to recognize in the past.
00:20:27.700 For sure.
00:20:28.340 Just like what's what's happening now.
00:20:29.840 We're reckoning.
00:20:30.540 I think you're having not a revolution in this country.
00:20:32.920 You're having a counter revolution to some of the lunacy policies that we've had, like opening up 10, you know, the border to millions of people just to simply.
00:20:40.680 But if I have to say this respectfully, if I have to choose.
00:20:45.600 Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi.
00:20:47.960 That was still there.
00:20:49.340 And let's just say he never fell in 79 and Savak was still Savak.
00:20:53.680 Let's say Savak is still around till today.
00:20:55.940 If I have to choose what Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi did with Savak and then later on say his son right now would be the king of Iran.
00:21:04.740 Reza Pahlavi, who he's not.
00:21:06.180 Versus what Khomeini, Khomeini, IRGC did to the world in the Middle East.
00:21:12.400 100 out of 100 times I choose Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi and following his son Reza Pahlavi.
00:21:20.340 Not not 80 out of 100 times.
00:21:23.320 100 out of 100 times.
00:21:25.080 That's your point.
00:21:25.640 And by the way, just so you know, if Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi was still he's obviously he died.
00:21:31.500 He had health issues.
00:21:32.380 But say his son follows his leader and is close to his dad.
00:21:35.340 But 9-11 never happens.
00:21:37.660 So 9-11 doesn't happen.
00:21:38.840 Those 3,600 people that were working in the World Trade Center, they're still around.
00:21:42.880 They're still going to their families.
00:21:44.040 They're still going and spending time with their kids.
00:21:45.420 They're still seeing their parents.
00:21:46.980 They're still able to enjoy the American dream.
00:21:48.700 They're still able to do that.
00:21:50.020 That was due to the fall of the Iranian revolution.
00:21:53.960 Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi, as much shit as everybody from the left, right and in center gives him,
00:21:59.920 he kept the Middle East safe.
00:22:03.140 There was no to little wars in the Middle East when he was the king of Iran.
00:22:08.260 Now, you can call it Savak.
00:22:09.720 You can call it this.
00:22:10.580 You can call it that.
00:22:11.220 And by the way, even him in interviews said that Savak used to do certain things.
00:22:16.700 Even him with Mike Wallace said, we used to torture, but not anymore.
00:22:21.280 He said that in interviews.
00:22:22.380 So you're right.
00:22:22.900 They did some of those things.
00:22:24.020 Well, I mean, if we just look at the interventionist policies of the United States,
00:22:28.000 one of the consistent things that happens, PBD, is that we seem to replace secular leaders
00:22:34.460 and they get replaced with this Muslim extremists.
00:22:39.880 I agree.
00:22:40.280 Well, extremists.
00:22:41.200 I'm just saying Islamists who actually follow what the Koran says.
00:22:46.860 I mean, there's no such thing as moderate Islam.
00:22:49.040 It doesn't exist.
00:22:49.680 But I'm saying, that's why I don't think, I know Venezuela will not be the same.
00:22:55.780 Because if you take a look at the other presidents of intervention, Panama and Grenada,
00:23:01.700 Grenada every year has like a holiday for, you know, commemorating the invasion of Grenada
00:23:08.820 and Panama.
00:23:10.020 So I think that you're going to have a very similar situation.
00:23:12.640 And I think we have to be careful, you know, that for Mexico, that's leaning socialistic.
00:23:19.860 And I think what has made Mexico, which is such an incredible country with such amazing
00:23:25.400 people, lovely people, is that they've been imprisoned and tortured by, you know, for,
00:23:32.120 I mean, they'll lose 50,000 in less than a decade in Mexico.
00:23:38.100 The cartels, you know, it would, they have to eventually go.
00:23:42.020 And I don't know how that is done, but it certainly would make Mexico, you know, for the people
00:23:49.140 that would be, it would, it would, it would get them out of the prison that is made from
00:23:55.080 those cartels.
00:23:56.000 Adam.
00:23:56.680 Well, let me stay on Iran for a second.
00:23:58.520 So this is what happens when you go full Islamic.
00:24:03.580 You know, the famous line from the movie Tropic Thunder, like, never go full retard.
00:24:07.720 Iran went full Islamic.
00:24:10.180 And we're seeing other case examples of when you go full Islamic, whether it's ISIS, whether
00:24:14.740 it's Al Qaeda, whether it's Hezbollah, whether it's Hamas, whether it's Boko Haram, you go
00:24:19.080 full Islamic, this is what happens to your society.
00:24:22.440 Vinny, his gear, faith over fear, tens of thousands of pieces sold out in a couple weeks.
00:24:29.620 Tell us about faith over fear, Vinny.
00:24:30.960 Well, just letting everybody know, I appreciate everybody that's getting on board.
00:24:34.640 I saw a guy at the airport that was wearing the faith over fear.
00:24:37.560 I was at a diner and some guy pat me on the back.
00:24:39.820 I was like, Hey, what is that all about?
00:24:41.200 And you want to know what Hebrews 11 chapter one was.
00:24:43.500 And we got into a really good conversation.
00:24:45.020 And I know I always talk about faith over fear being like in the Bible with a centurion
00:24:49.580 soldier whose kid was healed, where Jesus just said, go because of your faith, it's going
00:24:53.800 to be healed.
00:24:54.380 And the woman that had the bleeding issue that pushed through the crowd that just touched
00:24:57.880 Jesus's edge of hem of his clothing and he was healed.
00:25:01.420 So I want people to know that that's back in the biblical days.
00:25:04.220 Faith over fear still applies today.
00:25:06.060 It's, you know, it's what starting a business with a number, scare you speaking the truth.
00:25:09.940 When silence feels safer, fear waits for comfort.
00:25:13.500 And faith moves with conviction.
00:25:15.680 You guys can go on there right now.
00:25:17.020 I have another, we have a hat that's coming soon.
