Valuetainment - “Reza Pahlavi is Playing OFFENSE” - Trump PUSHING For Regime Change In Iran

00:00:00.000 Okay, next story I want to get to, Reza Pahlavi in Munich, Reza Pahlavi in Munich.

00:00:05.960 So he's out there, Lindsey Graham, when it comes down to Iran, there's a lot of stuff

00:00:11.820 going on.

00:00:12.360 The president, I think, just recently said, Donald Trump says regime change is the best

00:00:17.240 thing that could happen in Iran.

00:00:19.100 He just said this a day before Valentine's Day.

00:00:22.080 Here's the president.

00:00:22.820 Go ahead, Rob.

00:00:24.980 They've already started.

00:00:26.200 Do you want regime change in Iran?

00:00:27.860 Well, it seems like that would be the best thing that could happen.

00:00:32.260 For 47 years, they've been talking and talking and talking.

00:00:35.500 In the meantime, we've lost a lot of lives while they talk.

00:00:39.020 And legs blown off, arms blown off, faces blown off.

00:00:43.460 It's been going on for a long time.

00:00:45.180 So let's see what happens.

00:00:47.200 In the meantime, we have tremendous power has arrived.

00:00:51.940 And additional power, as you know, and other carriers going out.

00:00:55.660 Okay.

00:00:56.140 So he's saying that, by the way, while that is going on, he has a meeting with Netanyahu

00:01:00.900 where he told Netanyahu he would support Israeli strikes on Iran's ballistic missile program.

00:01:07.280 Sources says this is CBS President Trump told Prime Minister Netanyahu during a meeting at

00:01:10.820 Mar-a-Lago that the president would support Israeli strikes on Iran's ballistic missile

00:01:14.540 program if the deal between Washington and Tehran could not be reached, according to two

00:01:18.500 sources familiar with the matter, who spoke to CBS News on condition of anonymity to discuss

00:01:24.540 national security issues.

00:01:26.560 Now, while this is taking place, Reza Pallavi is out there at the same Munich event.

00:01:32.120 And wait till you see how many people showed up.

00:01:34.380 During this conference, Lindsey Graham is being asked, not this clip, Rob.

00:01:40.220 Go to the Lindsey Graham one if you could.

00:01:41.800 Lindsey Graham is being asked if they would support Reza Pallavi and listen to Lindsey Graham's

00:01:49.480 answer.

00:01:50.040 And then I'll give my thoughts.

00:01:51.240 Go ahead, Rob.

00:01:52.200 And I know Reza Pallavi is sitting in the audience, but I'm going to ask you, I'm going

00:01:57.020 to ask you, do you put your support behind Reza Pallavi?

00:02:01.280 Are you ready to say he is the person that the United States is, or you yourself, I don't

00:02:06.680 know whether you speak on behalf of the United States, but as a senior Senate Republican?

00:02:11.460 No.

00:02:11.740 No, because that's not my job.

00:02:15.700 I've been with him on every cable TV show known to man.

00:02:20.080 I'm very impressed with the way he can articulate what's at stake.

00:02:24.460 I'm sure he'll have a prominent role in Iran.

00:02:28.340 Don't make it too hard.

00:02:29.880 All we can do is help Iran have a chance to be free.

00:02:33.920 If they screw it up, they screw it up.

00:02:36.180 I'd rather give him a chance than not, because I know what I'm getting with the Ayatollah.

00:02:41.000 The difference is Trump, and he'll love hearing that, sort of.

00:02:45.740 He's done something to the other president.

00:02:47.280 He picked the people over the regime.

00:02:49.540 We had the JCPO.

00:02:51.220 That didn't work.

00:02:52.500 Everything we've done, Europe, America, we haven't.

00:02:54.800 So you see that answer being given, which, by the way, is the right answer.

00:02:58.560 And then later on, Reza says, I'm not asking for the endorsement.

00:03:01.980 And he said something very important.

00:03:03.440 He says, whether the president does anything or not, the Iranian people are going to continue

00:03:08.780 doing what they're doing, to show their frustration with what is taking place.

00:03:13.740 However, he did urge the president to move rather quickly.

00:03:19.320 Rob, I don't know if you have that clip.

00:03:20.460 There's a page here that shows me Iran's exiled Reza Pahlavi, or just U.S. military action

00:03:26.780 with the regime on Brick of Collapse.

00:03:28.540 Brick of – is this the one, Rob?

00:03:29.940 Yes, sir.

00:03:30.860 It's 11 minutes and 46 seconds.

00:03:32.360 That's right off the bat.

00:03:33.120 Okay, go for it.

00:03:33.940 Go for it.

00:03:34.400 Today, hundreds of thousands from Munich to Toronto to Los Angeles are standing in solidarity

00:03:42.620 with the people of Iran as part of my call for a global day of action.

00:03:47.880 They are sending a clear message to the leaders of Western democracies to stand with the people

00:03:56.340 of Iran.

00:03:58.280 Here in Munich, 88 years after the Munich Agreement attempted to appease Hitler, we gather at an

00:04:07.580 hour of profound peril to ask, will the world stand with the people of Iran, or again, appease a regime which has massacred over 40,000 of its own citizens.

00:04:21.020 Let me state the proposition plainly.

00:04:25.420 The fate of Iran is not merely an Iranian question.

00:04:30.880 It is a decisive test for global security in our time.

00:04:36.720 For nearly half a century –

00:04:38.420 Did he say it already, Rob, or no?

00:04:39.520 The Islamic Republic –

00:04:40.400 You can pause it right there.

00:04:41.260 Okay, so that's where he's at and what he's saying for – and then, Rob, which one is this, this exchange?

00:04:48.160 This one is where he actually calls for regime change in Iran.

00:04:54.760 Yeah, he's already done this.

00:04:55.960 The one I want you to find is when the media presses him on a question and he says, I knew you would ask a question like that.

00:05:04.260 I have it, but there's plenty of clips on this one if you can find.

00:05:07.240 I'll pause right here.

00:05:08.000 Tom, I'll come to you because I know you made some notes here that you had some thoughts.

00:05:12.400 Adam, I know you do as well on the regime change.

00:05:14.320 What are your thoughts on this, Tom?

00:05:15.280 Well, diplomacy has been tried.

00:05:18.040 We've been working on diplomacy.

00:05:19.280 We've been trying to work behind the scenes.

00:05:20.940 We've been trying to do things.

00:05:22.000 We told the people we have their back.

00:05:23.800 And now we've talked to Netanyahu, and we have not one but two battle groups, not two carriers, two battle groups that we have pulled up next to this.

00:05:36.060 And we have the heat.

00:05:38.080 I think this is about to be a hot conflict.

00:05:40.540 I think it's going to be quick.

00:05:41.900 I think it's going to be surgical.

00:05:42.860 But I think it's going to be a lot more than 12 cruises dropped from 50,000 feet from B2s.

00:05:50.860 Right now, you know, Razapalavi, he says, we have a plan.

00:05:55.140 I don't know who he means we, but he also talks, he says we a lot.

00:05:59.460 He did not counter Lindsey Graham.

00:06:01.920 He did not contradict him or get into it.

00:06:04.700 And I look at all of this, and what I see is there is a plan for after they topple the regime, number one.

00:06:12.500 But number two, I think it's going to start with, hey, guys, you had an opportunity to leave the country.

00:06:18.260 You had an opportunity to back off.

00:06:20.820 Now, we don't want them to back off and leave a complete vacuum like when Saddam Hussein went into hiding in Iraq and just all the wrong people and the crazies.

00:06:29.820 You know what I'm talking about, Vinny?

00:06:30.920 The crazies kind of came in and started running it.

00:06:33.420 We don't want that.

00:06:34.240 We've done that.

00:06:35.020 We've pulled out of Afghanistan and seen the crazies fill the vacuum.

00:06:39.120 You've got to have something powerful enough to stand in the gap.

00:06:41.700 But there's a lot of things going on beyond the leader.

00:06:44.280 It's like what we're doing in Venezuela right now is after Maduro, you've got to clean out all of his guys because there's not just one rat at the top.

00:06:52.100 There's rats in the walls.

00:06:53.000 There's rats everywhere.

00:06:54.080 So you have to sit there and have a plan to have a new regime come in that roots out the other folks because it's not just one guy sitting there.

00:07:03.080 So I think regime change is on the table right now.

00:07:06.240 I think there's going to be a military action that takes out certain defense and capabilities at a much more intense show of force than we did with the B-2s and taking out certain parts of the uranium enrichment and nuclear weapons program.

00:07:24.440 And I think as you hear Reza Pallavi saying, Pat, we have a plan.

00:07:30.080 And I think the we he's talking about is him, the expats, and Trump because what we would he be talking about?

00:07:38.180 He's been sitting in Washington for how many weeks now?

00:07:41.600 Photographs on the couch in the Oval Office with Lindsey Graham.

00:07:46.160 It's all going there.

00:07:47.100 That's what I see happening.

00:07:48.480 I think the world has gotten tired of democracy, and here we go.

00:07:52.020 That's my headline.

00:07:53.720 All right.

00:07:54.300 I'll be clear about Iran.

00:07:55.080 I mean, how do you negotiate with a regime that's willing to commit a genocide on its own people?

00:08:03.700 So say what you want about what the United States did in Iraq or Afghanistan.

00:08:07.580 Say what you want about what Israel did in Gaza.

00:08:09.980 Talk about what's going on with India and Pakistan, Russia, Ukraine.

00:08:14.680 The Islamic regime of Iran will murder, maim, kill, and genocide its own people.

00:08:22.060 Like, oh, you think you're a gangster?

00:08:23.720 I'll kill myself.

00:08:25.080 You ever see a hostage situation, and they don't have a hostage.

00:08:28.220 They just have a gun to their own head, and the cop's like, yo, bro, put down the gun.

00:08:32.500 He's like, I'll do it, man.

00:08:33.700 I'll kill myself.

00:08:35.080 Iran's willing to kill their own people.

00:08:37.520 How do you have diplomacy with something like that?

00:08:40.080 To me, it's so, like, absurd to think that they're going to meet Iran in the middle with diplomacy

00:08:46.300 because they actually have something called strategic deception called takia,

00:08:51.080 which is basically, like, approved lying for the sake of keeping their regime and their ideological viewpoints intact.

00:08:59.500 They'll do bait and switch.

00:09:00.820 I mean, my opinion, you know, trust nothing and verify everything with this regime.

00:09:06.860 I'll say it again.

00:09:08.120 They'll kill their own people.

00:09:10.380 I mean, what are we doing here?

00:09:11.660 And the hypocrisy on the left, on the encampments, on the chants, on the marches.

00:09:18.000 Not one tweet.

00:09:19.740 Not one anything.

00:09:20.740 Hey, what's going on in Iran?

00:09:22.160 Nothing.

00:09:22.680 It's so freaking laughable to me, the hypocrisy that goes on all around the world.

00:09:27.840 So they'll blame Israel, blame Israel.

00:09:29.600 Yeah, they're doing it.

00:09:30.240 It's called deflection.

00:09:31.660 So the last but not least, Trump is doing the art of the deal, peace through strength, whatever it is.

00:09:37.020 And I'll say this.

00:09:38.280 There's a clear-cut template that's going on in the world called North Korea.

00:09:43.280 North Korea has the world hostage because they have nuclear weapons that they could use

00:09:47.100 at any given point.

00:09:48.240 And they're backed by China, much like Iran is.

00:09:51.020 So we got to do something.

00:09:52.420 We got to do something quickly because we have how much time until Trump leaves office?

00:09:56.420 Three years.

00:09:57.580 Maybe Rubio's there.

00:09:58.540 Maybe J.D. Vance is there.

00:10:00.040 He's more isolationist.

00:10:01.160 I don't know.

00:10:02.020 I trust Rubio a little bit more than Vance.

00:10:03.740 But let's say Gavin Newsom comes in there and just redoes the nuclear deal like Obama did.

00:10:11.080 Then we're back to square one where we're giving Iran money to fund terrorism.

00:10:14.860 One thing I know about Iran, they're willing to play the long game, and their people will

00:10:19.580 pay the price.

00:10:21.000 And that's Iran.

00:10:21.920 Beyond the analysis, Adam, and all of that, what do you think happens right now?

00:10:27.360 What do I think is going to happen in Iran?

00:10:29.460 Yeah, right now.

00:10:29.960 Nobody knows.

00:10:31.140 Like, literally nobody knows.

00:10:32.140 Reza Pallavi is doing all this.

00:10:33.820 Reza Pallavi grew up where?

00:10:36.300 Washington.

00:10:37.260 D.C.

00:10:37.800 When's the last time he's been to Iran?

00:10:39.940 He hasn't been.

00:10:41.260 1978.

00:10:41.620 Okay, so in my opinion, respectfully, he's disqualified.

00:10:45.220 Bro, if you haven't lived in the country in 45 years, be a talking head.

00:10:52.260 That's great.

00:10:53.380 But what's going to happen if this guy goes back there?

00:10:57.800 They're going to just fall in love with him again?

00:10:59.140 No, no, he's not.

00:10:59.720 The IRGC is just going to romanticize this guy and say, here's our leader.

00:11:04.040 I don't think he wants the job, right?

00:11:05.960 Rob, can we do – Rob, do you have the clip of Lindsey Graham holding the flag in Munich

00:11:11.040 with the 50,000 low-end, high-end, 250,000?

00:11:15.760 I went on Exo look forward as well.

00:11:17.500 So if you can't find it, don't worry about it.

00:11:18.780 Just go back to the other clip that you have.

00:11:20.920 Here's one of the BBC reporters asked a question, and Reza Pallavi snapped at him a little bit.

00:11:25.660 Go ahead, Rob.

00:11:26.140 I just wondered, you said your compatriots have called on you to lead this transition period.

00:11:35.460 But that's obviously not the case.

00:11:37.980 There are a lot of people who don't support you within Iran and outside Iran.

00:11:43.520 My question is, why have you not been able to unify these people?

00:11:49.700 Why is it that you're not the voice of all of the Iranian people?

00:11:55.620 Why is it that Western countries are not supporting you or endorsing you as the voice of the Iranian opposition?

00:12:06.060 Thank you very much.

00:12:07.360 Well, this is a very typical question I expect from the network that you represent.

00:12:13.140 Look, you say it's not true.

00:12:16.480 You tell me, have you heard any other names called in Iran other than mine?

00:12:21.120 There have been other people who have not called your name.

00:12:24.960 You ask the question I'm answering now.

00:12:27.380 Sure, please do.

00:12:28.300 The fact is, they called my name.

00:12:31.340 Is my name written on the walls there?

00:12:33.540 It is me that they chose to trust to lead this movement.

00:12:37.420 I'm not saying that I have 100% of people on my side.

00:12:40.460 Of course I have my enemies.

00:12:42.340 And there are obviously elements that do not adhere to those four core principles.

00:12:46.520 You might have separatists.

00:12:48.640 You might have pro-regime reformists.

00:12:51.060 You might have groups like the MEK.

00:12:53.160 Certainly they are not my friends.

00:12:55.760 And I do not represent them.

00:12:57.160 Of course I don't represent them because they are not adhering to the principles that I described.

00:13:01.940 But all those who are prescribed to the fourth principle, we are together.

00:13:06.440 And among them you will find a quite diverse number of people.

00:13:10.140 We have Republicans as we have monarchists.

00:13:12.080 We have people on the left, on the center, on the right.

00:13:15.740 We have athletes.

00:13:16.800 We have artists.

00:13:17.700 We have representatives of ethnic communities, religious minorities.

00:13:21.720 Many of them were in fact in this very city in Munich when we had the last game.

00:13:25.280 You can pause it right there.

00:13:26.060 I think it's like Venezuela compared to what's happening here are two completely different things.

00:13:32.960 We were in.

00:13:33.700 We were out.

00:13:34.260 We kept the number two guy.

00:13:35.240 Tom, you mentioned this a couple weeks ago.

00:13:36.660 Kept them in line.

00:13:37.600 They understand.

00:13:38.180 Hey, listen, because the machine still has to go.

00:13:40.000 Adam, think about this.

00:13:40.700 Right now we go and we take out everybody and whatever.

00:13:43.260 The IRGC, what's the military?

00:13:45.700 Even if they go, okay, transfer, Khomeini is gone.

00:13:49.220 Now we take over the military.

00:13:50.780 How can you trust anybody in the military?

00:13:54.000 How can you sit there and be like, oh, yeah, they're going to be loyal to this guy?

00:13:58.180 They don't like this guy.

00:13:59.480 They like the other guy.

00:14:00.760 So, dude, this is beyond delicate.

00:14:03.160 It's very dangerous, Tupac, because they can just be like, all right, sign on.

00:14:06.340 And then one year from now, do a complete coup and kill whoever the hell is in charge.

00:14:10.160 This is a very, very touchy situation.

00:14:12.840 So, I think the timing, mind you, people are still dying, over 40,000, and our hearts go

00:14:17.260 out for them.

00:14:17.880 But this is such a delicate situation.

00:14:20.040 You can't go in there and be like, this guy's out.

00:14:22.140 This guy's in.

00:14:22.900 Hey, military, listen to that guy.

00:14:24.560 That's not how it works.

00:14:25.680 That's not how it works.

00:14:26.220 Look at this here.

00:14:27.420 Rob, is this Germany?

00:14:28.420 Yeah, that's Germany.

00:14:29.100 Look at this.

00:14:29.760 Wow.

00:14:30.120 50,000-plus showed up.

00:14:32.600 Lindsey Graham went.

00:14:33.680 He put on the hat.

00:14:35.180 M-I-G-A.

00:14:36.220 I try not to say that word like MAGA because it sounds different.

00:14:39.340 But M-I-G-A and make Iran great again.

00:14:43.020 And they're saying this was 50,000.

00:14:44.880 Some are saying 250,000.

00:14:46.400 Some are saying 130,000.

00:14:48.300 Regardless of what it is, they showed up.

00:14:49.900 This is there.

00:14:50.840 And the lion and the sword is the good flag.

00:14:53.080 The lion and the sword is from Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, which was the king.

00:14:59.200 That's where Iran was at peace with the world.

00:15:02.960 They got along with everybody.

00:15:04.000 Lindsey came up here.

00:15:04.900 People are in the rain standing outside.

00:15:07.000 There is something going on.

00:15:08.080 By the way, here's all I'll tell you.

00:15:11.280 I've been very, very critical of him.

00:15:14.200 Like, probably I'm extremely critical where I got a lot of his side that was not happy with the comments I made.

00:15:20.100 I will continue to do so.

00:15:21.500 But I'm also going to give credit when he's playing offense.

00:15:25.340 I've never seen him play offense like the way he's playing offense right now.

00:15:29.020 I don't know what role he's going to be playing.

00:15:30.880 But I've never seen him play offense like the way he's playing right now.

00:15:33.840 And it's benefiting the Iranian cause.

00:15:36.900 But he's got to close.

00:15:38.640 And the closing part requires him to be everywhere at any given time, and he's doing so.

00:15:43.140 So if he does and then Iranians choose him or somebody else, that's a different story.

00:15:48.140 He's been away for 48 years.

00:15:49.540 He said on multiple interviews of mine, he does not want to go back there.

00:15:54.040 Okay, yesterday, Ali Karimi, who's a legendary soccer player, came out, and he was seen.

00:15:58.360 Good-looking guy.

00:15:59.620 Very good-looking guy.

00:16:00.780 He was seen, you know, out there supporting.

00:16:03.320 By the way, Ali Karimi, I think, has got like 15, 20 million followers on Instagram.

00:16:07.700 Like, he's that kind of a player where people knew him in Iran.

00:16:10.000 So we'll see what will take place.

00:16:11.200 But here's what I will tell you.

00:16:12.220 And I'm going to keep repeating this.

00:16:14.580 We can go to sleep today.

00:16:16.600 And tomorrow morning, you wake up, and you'll see the same or similar type of a situation,

00:16:21.580 maybe a different kind of strategy, happening to Iran.

00:16:24.600 All of a sudden, you're like, wait, who escaped?

00:16:27.460 Who left?

00:16:28.540 Who do we have?

00:16:29.720 Who is over there?

00:16:30.780 Who's running it now?

00:16:31.820 Who's going back?

00:16:32.640 At any time, we could hear a story like that happening in Iran.

00:16:37.880 At any time, this could happen.

00:16:39.760 And if that does take place, now you're talking about the president doing what he did with Venezuela.

00:16:45.160 Now Iran, next, you know, Marco's probably going to do something with Cuba.

00:16:48.500 And then they get Panama Canal.

00:16:49.620 They get all this stuff.

00:16:50.840 This is a very, very interesting situation that they're in as they're going through this.

00:16:55.120 This one won't last a second, folks.

00:16:57.180 We're at the Pentagon.

00:16:59.540 I don't know where we were at.

00:17:00.340 Department of State.

00:17:01.080 Guy pulls up to us and says, you know what's the only thing I don't like about you guys?

00:17:04.440 I said, what's that?

00:17:05.520 I'm trying to see what he's going to say.

00:17:06.860 Tom was right next to me.

00:17:08.520 Your limited edition hats when you announce sells out immediately.

00:17:11.740 And some of us that don't watch the videos until the afternoon, we don't get a chance to get it.

00:17:15.040 I said, dude, I can't do nothing about it.

00:17:16.680 Here's the latest limited edition.

00:17:18.540 Look at how this beautiful hat, yellow hat, 250 year anniversary.

00:17:23.480 Go ahead, Rob.

00:17:24.700 February is about discipline.

00:17:27.520 The habits built daily.

00:17:29.540 The consistency that shapes who we become.

00:17:33.840 Resilience.

00:17:36.000 Responsibility.

00:17:37.800 And the courage to move forward with conviction.

00:17:43.180 Consistency creates confidence.

00:17:46.740 Confidence fuels consistency.

00:17:50.320 Honoring our past gives purpose to our future.

00:17:54.420 At 250 years strong, one message stands clear.

00:18:02.560 The future looks bright at 250.

00:18:07.400 One nation under God.

00:18:10.720 Limited edition, 250 hats.

00:18:13.220 Like I told you last time, the last one sold within the first hundred minutes that we had.

00:18:18.560 A little over an hour and 40 minutes that we had.

00:18:20.400 It was gone.

00:18:20.960 This one's going to go in no time because this is a, as we go further, the hats get more and more limited.

00:18:26.400 And we're, until we get, but this is going to be the one.

00:18:28.980 Some of you guys are going to want all of them.

00:18:30.240 And if you guys don't pick this up, you can still buy this on eBay when other people buy them and post it there.

00:18:34.920 So go pick this one up.

00:18:36.620 There's one that's black and silver for some of you guys that don't get access to this one.

00:18:40.280 The black and silver is not limited.

00:18:42.620 It's one that anybody can order.

00:18:44.800 So you can get that one as well.

00:18:46.100 Place order for both of them because these sold out last time and we have to get a whole new shipment coming out.

00:18:50.980 So they don't get there till March.
