00:00:00.000 So here's what is taking place in Iran.
00:00:02.280 By the way, the count now of protesters getting killed in Iran,
00:00:06.980 the report says 16, some say 20, some say a lot more than that.
00:00:11.300 But they are not slowing down with what's taking place with Iran. 0.78
00:00:14.580 Khamenei, Rob, if you want to pull up his tweet.
00:00:17.120 I'm so proud of Rob.
00:00:18.060 Now he knows how to type out Khamenei.
00:00:21.180 He knows how to do Deuteronomy.
00:00:23.340 We're getting so much better in spelling right now.
00:00:25.640 There's so much spit on his microphone.
00:00:26.460 Look at this here.
00:00:27.080 Khamenei, he says, we will bring the enemy to its knees.
00:00:31.340 I love what you responded, Pat.
00:00:32.640 We will not give in to the enemy.
00:00:34.260 Rob, if you want to go on Twitter.
00:00:36.060 So he's saying this, right?
00:00:37.880 Acting all tough.
00:00:39.960 And I responded to the guy and I said, let me see what I said to him.
00:00:44.360 I don't know if someone in there, Rob, if you can't find it, it's fine.
00:00:47.420 Is it right there?
00:00:49.000 Yeah, you are.
00:00:49.780 He says, we will bring the enemy to the knees.
00:00:52.780 And I said, you are the enemy of your people, right?
00:00:55.180 What he's got going on to Iran.
00:00:56.340 And then reports have it that he is on the run.
00:01:00.000 Reports have it that he is allegedly going to Russia to hide.
00:01:04.080 Oh, weird.
00:01:04.600 Okay?
00:01:04.880 He is going to Russia to hide.
00:01:06.940 Really?
00:01:07.420 Yeah, that's alleged reports.
00:01:09.080 If you type in, is the report in here, Rob, or you don't have it here?
00:01:12.260 I don't believe it's in there.
00:01:13.140 Okay, so why don't you just go out on Google and type in Khamenei, Russia.
00:01:17.600 Khamenei.
00:01:18.620 There you go.
00:01:19.400 Ayatollah Khamenei plans to flee to Moscow.
00:01:21.300 This is the Times.
00:01:22.880 If Iran unrest intensifies, the Republic's supreme leader has plotted an exit route out of Tehran.
00:01:28.980 Should his forces fail to quail, this sent an intelligence report reveals.
00:01:34.040 Go a little bit lower, Rob.
00:01:36.160 Khamenei has a backup plan to flee the country.
00:01:38.960 Should his forces fail, 86 years old, plans to escape Tehran with a close circle of up to 28 and family.
00:01:45.660 Should he see that the army and security called on quail, the unrest and disserting.
00:01:49.180 The plan B is for Khamenei and his very close circle of associates and family, including his son,
00:01:53.940 a nominator, their apparent Mojtaba, an intelligent source, Ben Sapti,
00:01:59.140 who served for decades for Israeli intelligence after fleeing the regime after eight years,
00:02:03.440 after Islamic revolution, told the Times of Khamenei would flee to Moscow,
00:02:06.520 and there's no other place for him.
00:02:08.020 Where else is he going to go?
00:02:09.400 What other place is he going to go?
00:02:10.840 China may not even want the guy.
00:02:12.400 He's got to go to Moscow because Moscow is the place that Russia owes him.
00:02:16.580 Because he's been, Iran's been selling him so many drones that they're like,
00:02:19.880 I'm your number one customer.
00:02:22.080 Listen, then I'm going to come and stay over there and feel safe about it.
00:02:24.640 So Iran's not looking too good.
00:02:26.980 And the chaos is continuing.
00:02:30.680 I'm trying to see which video it's trying to go to.
00:02:33.280 Tom, I'll come to you on this because you look like you have some thoughts.
00:02:35.380 Go for it.
00:02:36.480 Excuse me.
00:02:37.200 I actually have a question for you based on history.
00:02:39.520 Didn't Ayatollah Rola Khomeini, right?
00:02:42.800 If I said that correctly, I have to identify him.
00:02:44.860 But wasn't he exiled in France before the 78-79 revolution?
00:02:52.040 He was.
00:02:52.400 So we've kind of seen this playbook before, right?
00:02:54.900 They escape and go someplace, and then they wait until maybe it's safe to come back.
00:02:59.760 It's like we've seen this history before,
00:03:01.420 but it doesn't look like this time the Iranian people are having it.
00:03:05.220 The only difference is the first time Khomeini went to France,
00:03:10.540 he was in his 50s if not 60s.
00:03:13.140 This guy's 86 years old.
00:03:14.980 His time is up.
00:03:16.160 So it's not really him that we're worried about.
00:03:18.560 It's his son that could be the replacement.
00:03:20.700 They serve the whole family.
00:03:21.060 That's right.
00:03:21.600 Yeah.
00:03:21.780 Who's his son?
00:03:23.040 His son is the one that right now the wealth is probably going to go to,
00:03:26.480 and a lot of people right now are fighting to see who gets.
00:03:29.880 It's like the Game of Thrones, okay?
00:03:32.400 It's like the Game of Thrones.
00:03:33.620 It really is.
00:03:34.280 Oh, my God.
00:03:35.140 It's like the Game of Thrones scene.
00:03:36.440 Who is about to get the power?
00:03:38.280 Who's going to be?
00:03:39.000 They're all fighting for it, right?
00:03:40.860 Which son is going to be getting the power?
00:03:42.920 But with Iran, Rob, do you have that clip, 0.62
00:03:45.880 the one clip over here that says,
00:03:47.540 Iran's Khomeini lashes out at protesters,
00:03:49.420 that nationwide anti-regime unrest grows?
00:03:51.640 Do you have that one clip from page 16?
00:03:55.740 Do you know which one I'm talking about?
00:03:57.160 Yep.
00:03:58.100 Unfortunately, I believe it's in.
00:03:59.600 Watch this.
00:04:05.720 Can you translate, Rob?
00:04:07.560 Rob, please.
00:04:14.420 You can pause it right there.
00:04:17.040 I thought it was the translation for Americans to see.
00:04:19.500 What did he say, Ben?
00:04:20.220 He said he wants to talk.
00:04:20.240 No, no, no.
00:04:20.780 Half we said him.
00:04:21.440 Yeah, we're talking.
00:04:22.320 I have a translated version of it.
00:04:23.800 Okay, go for it.
00:04:23.920 I don't know, but it's AI,
00:04:25.220 so I don't know how good it's going to be.
00:04:26.200 Go for it.
00:04:26.660 Okay, Joe.
00:04:27.160 It's a different day,
00:04:28.000 but this day is different from riots.
00:04:30.580 We need to prune our hair after we prune it.
00:04:32.820 It is useful to be disturbed by spam.
00:04:35.240 Put the troublemaker in her place. 1.00
00:04:36.760 Put the troublemaker in his place.
00:04:38.920 The eruption of the century to the east of Harry.
00:04:41.580 For rent, me luxury,
00:04:43.300 Sinjam and Rikesh are the beginning centers.
00:04:45.940 This is a certain amount of money.
00:04:47.920 Beyond the destruction of the body of the country of Pashtisar, 1.00
00:04:51.420 let the faithful and healthy and Anglos be free from Itrezuns 1.00
00:04:54.340 and fight from the basket. 0.98
00:04:55.960 Yeah.
00:04:56.060 Sloan is not acceptable before.
00:04:58.000 You can't destroy the enemy's work by knowing the enemy's name,
00:05:01.460 not by any means from the basket.
00:05:03.720 Here, Dinah Mifardasis, from Kassin, from Swada, from Beit, the Sidi Nemo.
00:05:08.080 The most important thing is that when a person is an enemy, he is a creditor.
00:05:12.060 Do you impose something on the drawer, on the Muslims, on the government, on the nation?
00:05:16.300 Yeah.
00:05:17.040 You can pause the right to go ahead and hold the seat.
00:05:19.660 He's 86.
00:05:20.540 He's 86 years old.
00:05:21.320 He's done.
00:05:21.980 He's 86 years old.
00:05:23.300 But again, it's not him that you're worried about.
00:05:27.600 It's his son that you're worried about.
00:05:30.160 And right now, with everything that's going on over there, there's stories about it.
00:05:34.300 Here's a story from The Guardian.
00:05:35.600 No future for us.
00:05:36.360 This affected the Iranian states now or never to topple the regime.
00:05:40.280 A sudden nosedive in the value of Iran's currency was the final blow to the population,
00:05:44.500 growing tired of being patient under an ailing economy.
00:05:47.960 Protesters soon began in Iran and spread, kicking off the country's biggest protests in years.
00:05:53.360 At least now it's 20 people killed.
00:05:54.920 Despite my mother's fears, I joined in.
00:05:57.380 Oh my God, you have to see this video.
00:06:00.180 Rob, do you have this video of the son crying, pleading?
00:06:05.840 Oh, you have folks.
00:06:07.440 I'm going to send this to you, Rob, if you have it.
00:06:09.480 This one right here.
00:06:10.340 Let me see.
00:06:10.800 That's the one.
00:06:11.400 Ravini, watch this.
00:06:12.340 You have to watch this.
00:06:12.980 Go for it.
00:06:15.920 Don't go.
00:06:17.480 Why shouldn't I go?
00:06:22.780 Working like a dog from morning to night.
00:06:24.680 Like a dog.
00:06:25.840 Can't be done.
00:06:26.340 I have nothing left to lose.
00:06:30.140 My parents are falling apart before my eyes. 0.95
00:06:34.820 I can't do a damn thing. 0.97
00:06:37.220 I wished, my mother wished for me to get married. 0.98
00:06:41.100 I wished they would wrap me in a blanket tomorrow and bury her. 1.00
00:06:45.380 Why shouldn't I go?
00:06:46.100 Let me go.
00:06:49.660 But at least I didn't sleep with a guilty conscience at night.
00:06:52.060 Let me go that if my child asked me, what did you do?
00:06:57.080 I won't say I couldn't do anything.
00:06:58.640 I just got the chills all over.
00:06:59.980 Wow.
00:07:00.240 Every night, I thought that it gets too late to act.
00:07:08.460 Why shouldn't I go?
00:07:10.640 It's way too late.
00:07:11.460 We've endured so much.
00:07:13.340 We've had it up to you.
00:07:14.260 I can't.
00:07:14.820 If you join me, you'll appreciate it.
00:07:18.680 If you don't want to come, just don't forget me.
00:07:22.800 Are you kidding me?
00:07:25.220 Are you seeing where it's gotten to in Iran?
00:07:29.240 And when I hear people, and we're all going to hear the same noise over and over and over,
00:07:35.120 they have no idea what the hell they're talking about. 0.99
00:07:37.820 They're just sitting here talking crap, and they don't understand. 0.99
00:07:41.720 By the way, first of all, it's come to a point of that. 1.00
00:07:46.360 And when people are like, oh, Israel and America, shut up.
00:07:51.200 Do you understand what it's like to be ruled by these people? 1.00
00:07:54.140 People, okay, first of all, you got to cover your face, ladies, or they'll beat your ass 1.00
00:07:58.560 in the head and kill you. 1.00
00:07:59.600 Remember that girl? 1.00
00:08:00.160 I forgot her name.
00:08:01.240 It was just hanging off her head. 1.00
00:08:02.740 They beat her ass to death, okay? 1.00
00:08:04.660 If you're a protester, they will find you, and they will kill your ass, okay? 1.00
00:08:08.640 Public hangings. 1.00
00:08:09.980 Women are worth half of a man in court. 1.00
00:08:11.960 So when I hear these liberal women talking about that, you're not even worth half of a 1.00
00:08:16.520 man in Iran, okay? 1.00
00:08:19.160 Homosexuality, they're throwing your ass off of buildings. 1.00
00:08:21.280 Girls can be married as young as nine. 1.00
00:08:23.640 And I know, liberals, you guys are okay with that because all your transgender and all 0.98
00:08:26.700 your, you guys don't give a damn about children, but enough. 0.98
00:08:29.800 Nobody gives a damn about your, oh, America.
00:08:32.960 They're doing it on their own organically, but they're going to need help.
00:08:36.320 They're going to need help.
00:08:37.840 And I'm telling you right now, good for them.
00:08:40.000 I'm so freaking happy for the people because I think it's not going back from here.
00:08:44.120 From this point on, Adam, it's not.
00:08:45.820 You can't undo it.
00:08:47.340 The citizens now have guns.
00:08:49.500 They're firebombing places that are of the military.
00:08:52.360 There's no turning back now.
00:08:53.540 They're done.
00:08:54.220 And I'm proud of them.
00:08:54.980 Good for them.
00:08:55.660 Well, time is up.
00:08:57.700 And not all the IRGC, IRGC, right?
00:09:02.000 Yes, IRGC.
00:09:02.880 Not all the IRGC.
00:09:04.440 They have the equivalent of a National Guard, which is like a police level.
00:09:08.260 Yes.
00:09:08.600 And apparently these guys did not show up in the numbers that were dispatched.
00:09:12.880 Good.
00:09:13.000 And that did not, because you go back 10 years ago, they would, and help me in my history here, Pat, they would just fire into the crowd.
00:09:20.700 They drove over with trucks.
00:09:22.140 There would have been a couple hundred casualties when you have 10,000 citizens out there protesting.
00:09:28.600 But there is, we're still counting casualties, which are tragic, in tens.
00:09:34.900 We're not counting them in hundreds.
00:09:36.100 And what's interesting to me is that when you hear that the military doesn't show up, that is usually, historically speaking, one of the big signs.
00:09:46.200 When the government can't get the military to do it, the citizens that are in the military are usually saying enough to the government they serve.
00:09:56.320 That's awesome.
00:09:57.180 So that video of that young man basically pleading with his mother, I have to go protest.
00:10:02.800 I have to go protest.
00:10:05.140 Number one, salute to him.
00:10:06.520 But the question is, how many more young men feel exactly like that?
00:10:09.620 My guess is it's millions.
00:10:12.260 Imagine your mother saying, don't go.
00:10:14.400 I don't want you to lose your life.
00:10:15.700 He says, I have to.
00:10:17.800 What am I going to tell my children?
00:10:19.160 That I stayed at home?
00:10:21.300 I have so much respect for the people of Iran.
00:10:24.140 Not just because of my CEO and boss and friend PBD right here.
00:10:27.620 Just because I know a lot of Persians in this country and beyond who want more than anything a free Iran.
00:10:35.140 So if we think that we're seeing amazing protests in Venezuela, if we're seeing that we're seeing amazing protests when Syria is liberated,
00:10:45.060 I can't wait to see the parades that happen in Tehran, Iran, when the Ayatollah falls and the people of Iran can be free.
00:10:55.940 It's coming.
00:10:56.860 It's inevitable.
00:10:58.020 The momentum is there.
00:10:59.080 And I feel like whether it's now, whether it's next year, the time is now.
00:11:04.100 The MLK famously said, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.
00:11:09.520 46 years have been living under this oppression.
00:11:12.820 How long has Venezuela been dealing with this?
00:11:15.040 25 years?
00:11:16.140 Yep.
00:11:16.360 Almost double what's going on in Iran. 0.55
00:11:18.820 And you know who the Ayatollah fears the most?
00:11:21.820 His own people.
00:11:23.080 And they're coming for him.
00:11:24.040 He's hiding.
00:11:24.740 And he might be fleeing.
00:11:25.840 We're going to see what's happening there. 0.98
00:11:27.420 The people are miserable. 0.84
00:11:28.660 They're unemployed.
00:11:29.840 The inflation is rampant.
00:11:31.120 The economy is plummeting.
00:11:32.780 They're focusing on nuclear weapons and funding terrorism rather than feeding their people and providing them with drinking water.
00:11:39.780 His time's up.
00:11:40.440 By the way, if you want to play this clip, Khomeini has advice for you.
00:11:44.860 This is a speech he gave in 1979.
00:11:47.040 Iranian people.
00:11:48.640 Advice from Khomeini. 0.89
00:11:50.560 Ruola Khomeini, one of the top five most powerful figures in Islamic religion.
00:11:56.800 Well, if you play this, they won't understand it.
00:11:58.820 I want to read up top.
00:11:59.840 So, Rob, if you can get out of it and then play it while having that.
00:12:03.480 So, in this speech, this is somewhere around October of 79-ish, when he's giving the speech to the Iraqi people.
00:12:10.720 But we can turn this message around and play it for the Iranian people.
00:12:14.680 Go ahead, Rob, play the clip.
00:12:16.540 What he's saying here is blow up places that belong to the government.
00:12:22.120 Paralyze its economy.
00:12:23.780 Don't pay taxes to it.
00:12:25.520 Don't pay for water and electricity.
00:12:28.020 Don't give it the other things it wants.
00:12:31.240 Hold demonstrations.
00:12:32.220 I know that everyone has a bleeding heart from this regime. 0.99
00:12:35.600 Stab it in the back. 0.99
00:12:36.660 Go on strike. 0.99
00:12:37.500 It cannot stand against the nation.
00:12:39.160 Pause it.
00:12:39.680 Khomeini is giving you that advice.
00:12:42.580 Khomeini is giving you that advice.
00:12:45.260 Okay?
00:12:46.040 So, if Khomeini is giving that advice to a regime that's destroying its people, flip it and do it to that, what do you call it, to that government right now in Iran that's doing it to you.
00:12:56.580 The level of bravery and courage that has taken place with these guys, it's absolutely insane.
00:13:02.580 So many people all weekend are like, oh my God, why can't you just get behind Reza Pallavi and why can't you just do this and why can't you just do that?
00:13:11.640 I don't know how many clips you guys have.
00:13:14.100 Iranians are starting to finally share and say, what the hell are you talking about?
00:13:18.200 Here's what Reza Pallavi said to all your Iranians that are so, you know, infatuated and you have this romance like, oh, but no, but you don't understand.
00:13:28.760 Here's what Reza Pallavi said.
00:13:30.200 Why don't you take his word for it, Rob?
00:13:31.720 Rob, I just sent you the clip, it's all over X, and I have multiple clips like this to ask him, do you want to go back to Iran?
00:13:38.980 No.
00:13:40.080 Do you want to take your family back?
00:13:41.740 No.
00:13:42.580 He has said it now and it's all over the place and you guys are still romanticizing with this.
00:13:47.640 Watch this clip.
00:13:48.600 Go ahead, Rob.
00:13:49.720 You keep asking one question, whether or not I'm going to take my family back there.
00:13:55.480 Because in a way you are thinking whether or not you can take your family back there.
00:13:58.880 We would all like to be able to go back home and be able to live there if possible.
00:14:04.840 And I see in a realistic sense that we can keep flowing and going back and forth.
00:14:09.700 We don't have to be pinned in one place.
00:14:11.460 We cannot divest because honestly, my life has been for the past 40 years here in America.
00:14:18.520 My children live here.
00:14:20.020 My friends live here.
00:14:21.100 Everybody that I know is here.
00:14:24.120 It's almost unfair to them.
00:14:26.040 If I was to go back, what do I go back to?
00:14:29.380 But you keep asking one question.
00:14:31.520 If I go back to Iran, his line, what do I go back to?
00:14:39.920 Do you know it's the criticism he's gotten over the weekend, over the week, while this is happening?
00:14:44.620 Where are you?
00:14:45.700 People are saying he was on vacation.
00:14:47.020 He's doing what he's doing.
00:14:47.660 Rob, I'm going to send you this clip here.
00:14:49.240 I don't know if you want to accept it on your phone.
00:14:50.920 If it's not coming through, I can text it to you as well.
00:14:52.860 Now, he doesn't want the job.
00:14:55.400 And all this, you know, chanting, you guys better find another person.
00:15:00.540 He can play a very important role.
00:15:02.200 I hope he does.
00:15:03.680 But all this chanting you're doing, the Iranian, it's not letting you, Rob, to come through? 0.99
00:15:07.620 No, sir.
00:15:08.020 Okay, so I'll try to text it to you to play it.
00:15:11.800 And this is, again, from your guy that you guys want who doesn't want the job.
00:15:20.540 Doesn't want the job.
00:15:22.400 I said something last Friday night on the podcast.
00:15:24.480 I said, I'm going to post it on X and direct it at him.
00:15:27.160 Probably I'm going to post it right after this and say a question for you, Reza Pallavi, a message for Reza Pallavi, and see what the audience will say about it.
00:15:38.480 Rob, are you getting the text or no?
00:15:39.800 I just came through.
00:15:40.640 Okay.
00:15:41.360 So if you look at this video, this is from the other conversation that we had together.
00:15:46.100 Very point blank question.
00:15:48.040 Do you want this job?
00:15:50.140 Rob, do you want to go back and be the CEO?
00:15:53.540 He says no.
00:15:56.040 He says no.
00:15:57.800 And by the way, for the people that are judging, there's three people in that community.
00:16:02.640 Those of you guys that are judging, those of you guys that are celebrating, Rob, it's not come through yet?
00:16:07.380 No.
00:16:07.620 Okay, I just sent it to you in the video.
00:16:10.060 It should be up there if you don't have it on your phone.
00:16:12.000 I don't need to typically, I text it to you, Rob.
00:16:14.420 So can you just transform it from there to your thing?
00:16:18.900 So you're saying the three groups?
00:16:20.140 Yeah, the three groups are following.
00:16:21.920 One group is the one that is romanticizing to go back to the Shah.
00:16:28.760 It's not going to happen.
00:16:30.660 He's not his father.
00:16:32.340 And he's not his grandfather.
00:16:34.240 That's not going to be coming.
00:16:35.740 Fast forward.
00:16:36.300 Okay, you can play the clip, Rob, but I have no desire to be the CEO, moving my entire family to Iran, running Iran, putting the crown, and being the third king that represents to do this with my family.
00:16:49.640 Honestly, that's not my interest.
00:16:50.420 Am I reading that correctly?
00:16:52.000 Yes.
00:16:52.400 Okay.
00:16:52.980 So do you know this is the first time I've heard you say this?
00:16:55.260 And this is the first time I've heard you say this?
00:16:57.700 And for me, what it does to me as a viewer, he just said he does not want to go back and be the CEO running it.
00:17:06.940 So that whole Shah and Shahi and all this stuff, that whole Bandar Pahlavi or that whole Parque Shah and Shahi that we used to go to as kids, and it would snow was awesome.
00:17:17.180 I would go play soccer there, and I would go bike in that one circle that they had, and we would eat balad.
00:17:22.360 We would eat, you know, what do you call it, corn on the water and the salt, and how delicious that, you remember that, how amazing, or you would eat jigad with the green on top of it, or you would do the jigad and you would eat it.
00:17:37.280 It was so flipping delicious with the salt on top of it on the skewers that they would do kebab.
00:17:42.740 It was so amazing, and the doux you would drink in Orbeli or Orbegarim.
00:17:48.160 Wasn't that awesome?
00:17:49.480 I have some of the best memories of my life in Orbegarim.
00:17:52.320 Orbeli, we would go to this place.
00:17:53.580 If you went underwater, the water was gas, Vinny.
00:17:55.980 You couldn't breathe.
00:17:57.120 You have to come back.
00:17:57.720 Dad, what do you mean?
00:17:58.360 He said, go underwater.
00:17:59.240 My dad's like, try to go underwater.
00:18:01.060 I'm like, Dad, the water's gas.
00:18:02.260 He says, go see what happened.
00:18:03.780 You go underwater.
00:18:04.700 You go, I can't breathe.
00:18:05.480 Boom, you come back up.
00:18:07.260 We'd go to a place called Orbegarim.
00:18:09.240 The place smelled like hot water.
00:18:11.320 Orbegarim, warm water.
00:18:13.460 You would go and be in the warm water.
00:18:15.780 Those days under Mohamed Reza Shah Pahlavi are not here.
00:18:22.240 We will forever romanticize about those days, about the way he carried himself in interviews
00:18:28.620 and everything that he was doing.
00:18:31.220 Those days are not here today, but he can play a very important role.
00:18:34.420 So one group, it is a romantic group.
00:18:36.880 The other group, that's the hating group of him, that that also needs to stop.
00:18:41.620 And the third group is the group that is just saying, man, I just want to see Iran be free again.
00:18:48.440 Fantastic.
00:18:49.320 If you're part of the third group, go find a candidate that's willing to do the job.
00:18:57.020 Go find a candidate that's willing to do the job in Iran. 0.96
00:19:00.600 Iran, that's what you guys need. 0.72
00:19:02.580 Iran needs, but by the way, if you think about the sequencing on the way that it's going,
00:19:07.900 here's what's common.
00:19:09.760 What's common is what?
00:19:11.340 In U.S.
00:19:11.980 What do they do to Venezuela?
00:19:14.460 You needed U.S.'s help.
00:19:17.440 Okay, what's going to happen with Cuba?
00:19:19.720 By the way, can you imagine if Cuba also goes through it and we start going to Cuba on visit?
00:19:24.700 You need U.S.'s help.
00:19:26.040 What do you need for Mexican cartel to be done? 0.87
00:19:29.280 Scheinbaum is not cleaning house.
00:19:30.660 Of course not.
00:19:30.980 You need Americans' help.
00:19:32.620 What do you think is going to happen with Iran?
00:19:34.820 Okay, all of these things, this is Iranians' biggest opportunity.
00:19:40.920 Don't screw it up.
00:19:42.340 Look at that young man is pleading for freedom in Iran.
00:19:47.280 I hope he gets his wish and it becomes a reality.
00:19:51.080 But I hope the Iranian people are finally using some logic and emotion combined, 1.00
00:19:56.040 realizing you've got to move on of the Mohammed Reza Pahlavi coming back to Iran
00:20:00.400 because he does not want to do that.
00:20:01.680 His son does not want to do that.
00:20:02.660 Sir, so every movement needs a leader, needs a figurehead.
00:20:06.520 I mean, here at Valuetainment, we rally behind you.
00:20:09.180 Marina, Karina Machado, she won the Nobel Peace Prize.
00:20:12.060 We'll see what happens with her in Venezuela.
00:20:14.420 You've been very outspoken.
00:20:15.600 You don't think the Shah is that guy.
00:20:17.760 He said it himself.
00:20:18.480 Not the Shah, the Reza Pahlavi, his son. 0.92
00:20:20.100 Son, that's what I'm talking about, the Shah's son. 0.99
00:20:22.660 Who do you think is the figurehead of Iran?
00:20:25.920 That's the problem.
00:20:27.100 The problem is nobody is vocal enough to know who it is.
00:20:31.200 And of the people that are, you know how many candidates they've imprisoned?
00:20:35.980 You know how many candidates in Iran are in jail right now?
00:20:38.440 You know how many candidates that are potential people that could run the place
00:20:42.000 are in prison, silenced?
00:20:43.720 You know how many?
00:20:44.480 A ton.
00:20:45.320 So they're also hiding it where they can't be as vocal.
00:20:48.540 So there could be a few people on the inside that they know of, Iranians know of, that
00:20:53.340 they want, but they don't have the mic.
00:20:55.840 Like you got the mic in America.
00:20:57.220 They don't have the mic to go around and do things.
00:20:58.760 What are they going to do?
00:20:59.360 Leave Iran and go campaign out of Dubai?
00:21:01.140 Of course.
00:21:01.440 Are they going to leave Iran and go campaign?
00:21:02.640 By the way, you know what's the biggest thing that Iranian people are saying? 1.00
00:21:05.100 Hey, Reza Pahlavi, why don't you go to Azerbaijan?
00:21:07.840 And say a few words from there.
00:21:09.300 Come closer to Iran. 0.99
00:21:10.260 Show some stuff.
00:21:10.960 He's not doing it.
00:21:12.000 The one thing about Trump.
00:21:13.420 Let me tell you what was very crystal clear about Trump, about Millet, about Bukele. 0.96
00:21:17.700 You know what it was?
00:21:18.760 They're willing to do the legwork.
00:21:20.380 They're willing to go out there.
00:21:21.480 They're willing to pay the price.
00:21:23.140 They're willing to drive.
00:21:24.320 They're willing to work their tails off.
00:21:26.400 It's very obvious. 0.67
00:21:27.520 We, the market, said, who is this crazy Elvis-looking guy from Argentina?
00:21:31.440 There's no way he'll ever win making out with people on stage. 0.56
00:21:34.540 Guess what?
00:21:35.100 He won.
00:21:36.020 Who is this Bukele guy that's in his early, mid-30s?
00:21:38.980 He thinks he's going to be the leader of clean up El Salvador?
00:21:41.340 Yes. 1.00
00:21:41.620 Oh, shit. 1.00
00:21:42.340 Maybe he's right. 1.00
00:21:43.220 He won.
00:21:43.940 Who is this, you know, TV guy, billionaire, real estate guy?
00:21:48.000 He's just doing a publicity stunt.
00:21:49.480 No, no.
00:21:49.880 He won in his cleaning house.
00:21:52.620 Who is Reza Pallavi?
00:21:53.960 Somebody that can help Iranians, but not the guy that's going to play the role.
00:21:57.780 Because he doesn't have the fire in his belly.
00:21:59.360 He doesn't have the will.
00:22:00.260 He doesn't have the voice.
00:22:01.160 He doesn't have the presence.
00:22:01.620 I got four kids.
00:22:02.780 You think all my kids want to go out there and do something big with their lives?
00:22:06.380 You know, a father wants every one of his kids to want to have the fire to do something big with their lives.
00:22:12.240 Trump's got five kids.
00:22:13.340 Who's the most successful one?
00:22:15.740 Eric.
00:22:16.080 Eric.
00:22:16.360 Junior.
00:22:16.940 Ivanka.
00:22:17.340 They're all doing great.
00:22:17.960 Who would you say?
00:22:18.800 Eric to me is, I think, number one.
00:22:20.080 Okay.
00:22:20.420 Who knows if it's going to be Eric or it's Don or it's Ivanka.
00:22:23.640 It'll be Barron.
00:22:24.120 You know, maybe it's Barron.
00:22:25.400 But Tiffany, guess what?
00:22:26.340 What's Tiffany doing?
00:22:27.300 She's a wife. 1.00
00:22:28.060 She's to herself.
00:22:29.000 Yeah.
00:22:29.400 Everybody has to live their own life.
00:22:31.660 Okay?
00:22:32.080 Everybody has to live their own life.
00:22:34.020 How old was he when he had to leave Iran?
00:22:35.980 Well, he left before the revolution.
00:22:38.300 They got him out before the revolution to be safe.
00:22:40.200 So he's led.
00:22:41.040 Yes.
00:22:41.240 He's lived a pretty comfortable life in America.
00:22:42.540 He's lived a very comfortable life.
00:22:44.280 He's never really had a real job.
00:22:45.020 So maybe it's just that he's had the silver spoon effect.
00:22:46.700 He's never had to deal with what most Iranians who live in Iran have had to deal with. 0.99
00:22:51.340 I know there's going to be random and outside of the box.
00:22:54.680 Whoever they pick, like, I think bringing a Christian into the mix, because hear me, Adam,
00:23:00.440 I know it's a Muslim nation, whatever, but every country out there that lost Christ,
00:23:06.040 okay, is a constant state of war, crime, terrorism.
00:23:09.760 I mean, Mamdani's a Muslim and he's in New York.
00:23:13.160 Why can't it happen over there?
00:23:14.700 I think me personally, Tom, a Christian leader there would be impartial.
00:23:20.020 And I'm telling you from experience, it'd be a whole different game.
00:23:23.640 There wouldn't be any of this throwing people off of buildings.
00:23:26.460 Women wouldn't have to cover their heads. 0.99
00:23:28.220 Every time Christ was taken out, look at the outcome.
00:23:32.080 Go ahead.
00:23:32.700 Look at Syria. 0.75
00:23:34.380 I don't care what religion this leader turns out to be.
00:23:38.640 As long as they can galvanize the people.
00:23:43.360 Look, the Persian Empire was never Islamic. 0.77
00:23:47.680 It was never Christian. 1.00
00:23:48.360 It was Zoroastrian. 0.51
00:23:49.260 Yes.
00:23:49.880 If you're familiar with that.
00:23:50.760 Yes, of course.
00:23:51.840 For me, the religion is obviously important.
00:23:55.140 It's a major component.
00:23:55.960 It's huge, Adam.
00:23:56.520 But it's who can the people get behind?
00:23:59.440 What is this?
00:23:59.760 I'm not Muslim. 0.94
00:24:00.420 I am Persian. 0.98
00:24:01.420 I hate Islam. 1.00
00:24:02.100 That's what this is right there. 0.98
00:24:02.840 I am not Muslim.
00:24:03.780 They've been colonized.
00:24:05.260 But if they put somebody else in, Adam, that has that same attitude, it's going to become Syria. 0.87
00:24:09.200 Well, 2.0.
00:24:10.380 Shereza was Muslim.
00:24:12.080 I love the people.
00:24:13.020 The people are saying, make Iran Persian again.
00:24:15.840 Not necessarily the...
00:24:17.100 He wasn't Islamic or Islamist.
00:24:18.340 No, he wasn't Muslim.
00:24:19.040 What was his religion?
00:24:19.880 He was Muslim.
00:24:20.480 He was Muslim.
00:24:20.500 He was Muslim.
00:24:20.580 He was Muslim.
00:24:21.000 Yeah, he was.
00:24:21.820 Yeah, he was.
00:24:23.120 Tom, go ahead.
00:24:24.320 Now, I said, the people have spoken.
00:24:27.160 People have spoken in Venezuela.
00:24:28.220 People are speaking right now in Iran.
00:24:30.880 And that video, that young man, really touches my heart.
00:24:36.460 It's because what he's saying is, what do I have to live for here?
00:24:40.360 And you look at the risk all those people took in Venezuela on the last election.
00:24:46.220 Their guy won in a landslide.
00:24:48.700 And then the people that supported him, his political advisors, people were in prison.
00:24:52.800 And you look at what Maduro did.
00:24:54.440 And so now Maduro's out and you see the people celebrating.
00:24:57.140 But now what's in the void?
00:24:59.060 What's in the void?
00:25:00.140 The one thing the NBC reporter is right about is there's still some bad guys in Venezuela.
00:25:04.380 And so there needs to be a synergist come to the front to control things and to move it forward in Venezuela.
00:25:12.540 Because Argentina had a stable, a relatively, they had a stable country, a stable government,
00:25:19.000 but a horrible set of economic policies and they had an unstable economy.
00:25:23.760 But on that stability, Malay was allowed to stand and then say, I'm getting rid of this. 1.00
00:25:29.520 I'm getting rid of this.
00:25:30.260 Afuera, Afuera, the whole chainsaw.
00:25:32.740 I'm cutting it all down.
00:25:34.140 Well, he only was able to do that because he had the stabilization of the country and relative stabilization of the government.
00:25:41.040 The government was just run by a pack of loons that ran the economy into a tree.
00:25:47.120 And so what Iran needs is, let's look at the last two years, Iran's political primary system is really kind of rough.
00:25:56.000 You don't win Iowa in Iran.
00:25:57.780 You win a sentence in a cell is what happens in the political primary.
00:26:01.680 There needs to be a synergist that comes forward that can bring all of this together.
00:26:05.620 because Iran and Venezuela have two things in common.
00:26:10.420 They have a lot of natural resources and oil, and that money can be used to restore the country for the benefit of the people and to make it run.
00:26:19.020 And you have the people there have had enough in Venezuela.
00:26:21.900 The people have had enough in Iran. 0.96
00:26:24.740 But both places need a synergist to come to the front to bring it together.
00:26:29.060 And the overarching narrative is you have the Islamists and the communists teaming up to do what they're doing. 0.60
00:26:34.740 I've been getting a lot of my necks about people talking about what they want to do with their culture in 2026, going into 2026.

00:26:44.980 If you want to find out how specific our culture is at Valuetainment, we went from having nine employees just a couple of years ago
00:26:52.280 to now having nearly 160, 170 employees, full-time employees here on our campus here.

00:27:17.400 We even went to a company the other day in Arkansas.
00:27:19.460 We were looking at them.
00:27:20.240 Their entire coat of honor was pretty much every single thing that we said except for one of them.
00:27:24.500 And they had it in their front lobby.
00:27:26.420 You can obviously go out there and change it up and do it for whatever you want to do with your company.
