Valuetainment - “TORTURED Into Confessing” - Iranian Wrestler EXECUTED In BRUTAL Regime Crackdown

00:00:00.000 If you live in a free country, you almost don't believe these stories.

00:00:03.920 You're going to say there's no way this is true, and this is what's happening.

00:00:07.740 But this is what's happening.

00:00:09.440 Mojtaba Khamenei's regime, the IRGC in Iran,

00:00:12.840 executes champion wrestler as Iran intensifies brutal crackdown during war.

00:00:21.060 There's a video of them, Rob, if you want to see them in court, right there.

00:00:26.220 Go ahead and play this clip. Go for it, Rob.

00:00:28.080 Fighting war against God by drawing a cold weapon, such as a knife or sword, during illegal gatherings and riots,

00:00:33.940 and causing violence that leads to murder and martyrdom is a serious matter.

00:00:38.740 Unfortunately, in the city of Qom, during the early hours of the night on the 18th, such a tragic event occurred.

00:00:45.460 So this is what the court is saying. These are the three boys. You can stop it right there.

00:00:50.120 Yes. So while this is happening, in Iran, let me read this story to you, and I want to come to you guys.

00:00:54.380 i'm gonna come to you guys islamic republic of iran judiciary on thursday ignore the u.s

00:01:00.340 state department warning along with pleas from elite iranian american wrestlers to not execute

00:01:06.500 19 year old champion wrestler saleh mohammadi for protesting against the khamenei regime

00:01:13.880 reports say mohammadi was killed in a public hanging seen as a barbaric move by the iranian

00:01:19.360 regime to snuff out the ongoing movement seeking to topple it neemah fader human rights activist

00:01:25.540 and iranian combat athlete who's an expert on elite iranian wrestling told fox news digital

00:01:31.340 his execution was a blatant political murder part of the islamic republic pattern of targeting

00:01:36.140 athletes who crush dissent and terrorize society as seen with navid afghari and others executed

00:01:43.520 despite international outcry.

00:01:45.100 He said the IOC, International Olympic Committee,

00:01:47.860 and the UWW, United World Wrestling,

00:01:50.640 should have intervened forcefully with public ultimatums

00:01:55.060 threatening immediate suspension of Iran's NOC,

00:01:57.680 National Olympic Committee, and Federation

00:01:59.540 if the killing proceeded rather than relying on ineffective

00:02:03.440 quiet diplomacy given their own commitments

00:02:05.860 to protect athletes from politically motivated harm.

00:02:09.800 Vinny.

00:02:10.340 Well, I don't know if you guys caught that,

00:02:13.140 The human rights group said that he was tortured into confessing to a crime that he didn't do.

00:02:19.680 Everybody's out there.

00:02:20.640 Remember the revolution was happening.

00:02:22.300 People were in the streets.

00:02:23.200 They were fighting.

00:02:24.380 Can you say that one more time?

00:02:25.600 This is the thing.

00:02:26.580 Because there's people that will say, no, they killed a couple people.

00:02:30.520 This is what they did.

00:02:31.860 Their model.

00:02:32.620 Repeat what you just said right now, please, again.

00:02:34.600 The human rights group said that Mohammadi was tortured into confessing to the capital charge

00:02:41.020 of waging war against god okay absolute but guys there's a zero zero belief that i believe that

00:02:49.080 that is like the fact that he just was in the street a professional high profile athlete and

00:02:55.380 he's in the street stabbing people really really think about that for a second it was a political

00:02:59.380 uh murder what they did with him okay now i want you guys fyi has there been an update of the

00:03:05.120 female soccer team think about right now where those girls are not the ones that defected and

00:03:09.540 state here think about the iranian women if they're doing this to him these women embarrass

00:03:14.820 the islamic regime they're probably in a dungeon right now getting tortured and probably worse tom

00:03:20.380 do you do you agree i absolutely agree and i think what also happened here we have to understand how

00:03:24.960 how these kind of regimes work people say he's such a high profile guy you know how could they

00:03:31.020 do it to such a high profile guy you know well that's it that's the point if we're willing to

00:03:36.100 execute this guy imagine what we do to you and the crime is a by waging war against god and then they

00:03:45.840 also uh were saying he had a knife he actually stabbed one of the uh the police officers those

00:03:52.680 weren't police officers they were government soldiers shooting into crowds thank you and so

00:03:57.460 when you look at the whole thing here i look back and do you remember where this started to

00:04:02.140 excuse me uh four weeks ago what did trump say don't you execute people you want to call

00:04:09.340 dissidents don't step over that red line yep and here we are and they do it and you know what drives

00:04:14.160 me crazy tom people sit here and like in comfort and they act or i think it's just they're uneducated

00:04:19.520 they don't do the research the iranian regime they're like oh they're just misunderstood we

00:04:24.360 need more diplomacy no okay they hang citizens for protesting in the street and not just a regular

00:04:31.120 citizen guy this is like pat this is like their number one wrestler this is like an olympic

00:04:36.320 freaking high like and if they could kill that guy imagine the regular people that don't mean

00:04:40.200 anything so i just fyi the people out there if they treat their people like this how do you think

00:04:46.360 they treat the rest of the world how do you think that they look at people like us when they say

00:04:49.980 death to america when they and then they're shocked when this pressure is going to start coming back

00:04:54.020 to them now at the same time i'm not stupid everybody has agendas from lindsey graham and

00:04:58.000 everybody they want their stuff about this war i understand that but don't please don't let it

00:05:02.820 distract you from the main point for 47 years these people have been under this freaking regime

00:05:08.300 that has been doing this guys now it's coming to light now you're seeing what they're doing

00:05:12.360 people didn't nobody gave a damn everybody's too busy with their freaking starbucks and their

00:05:16.480 lattes walking around now all eyes are on them and besides the israel and all that put all that

00:05:20.700 stuff aside war is war is ugly i get it people have their agendas look at what the people look

00:05:25.620 at what this freaking guy did you see the other guy sitting with him with the cross on his neck

00:05:29.600 imagine the balls on that guy getting a tattoo in the islamic freaking control place of iran

00:05:34.660 with that okay and this is what i want to say last thing it's really really simple if you want

00:05:40.180 to be left alone as a nation stop killing your own citizens stop backing terrorists stop screaming

00:05:45.920 death to america and everybody will leave your ass alone but you chose to be this this type of

00:05:51.200 attitude now everybody's watching you and you want to know who it is i'll give you one last shot on

00:05:55.140 this let's all watch which members of our government which elected senators and congressmen

00:06:00.020 condemn this who condemns i have a talib i challenge you to condemn this jeffries i

00:06:05.460 challenge you to condemn this they're not gonna do that where's megan reponi or any of the athletes

00:06:11.600 that are so worried about people and athletes and miss just where are you we're not what i haven't

00:06:17.520 heard one athlete yeah one person say something these guys are all dead yesterday these guys were

00:06:25.040 all hanged in the freaking street and the guy on the left is a wrestler not a peep where are you at

00:06:30.200 where's your online rant do you know what could happen you know what could happen what major event

00:06:36.120 is coming up the world cup in what country united states do you know if the president wanted to he

00:06:42.100 can say listen don't worry about not having your iranian soccer team compete they can't you're out

00:06:50.300 Yeah, he did that with Russia.

00:06:51.800 He can make that announcement and say, you want to do this?

00:06:54.760 We don't want people like you here.

00:06:57.020 So now the challenge becomes what?

00:07:00.080 The players are going to be like, what did we do wrong, right?

00:07:02.660 Yeah.

00:07:02.960 But this could be a direct shot to Iran if they do something like this.

00:07:06.300 We'll see.

00:07:06.760 We'll see what's going to happen with it.

00:07:07.900 Adam, your thoughts on this story.

00:07:09.040 Well, I've said this before and I'll say it again.

00:07:11.840 Iran is the best country in the world at killing their own people.

00:07:17.300 That's kind of like their thing.

00:07:18.740 you know uh nobody is shocked by this this is what they do uh he was charged with what

00:07:26.300 uh war against god this is why the fastest growing religion in iran in the islamic republic

00:07:34.400 of iran is not islam it's either christianity zoroastrianism or just completely uh agnostic

00:07:43.300 atheists it's driving all its own citizens away from allah so it's a uh it's counterproductive

00:07:53.420 at the very least so they have something and correct me if i'm wrong pat something called

00:07:57.820 the morality police in iran oh you you're showing your hair 10 lashes for you showing your hair

00:08:04.300 right god forbid you speak out against the government you're going to be hanged publicly

00:08:08.800 so the last point that i'll say is this we in america have no clue what it's like on that side

00:08:17.000 of the world we have no clue think about just in the last five years the protest that people have

00:08:21.900 been a part of whether it's on the left or the right whether it's blm whether it's the me too

00:08:26.460 movement whether it's defund the police whether it's the free palestine movement whether it's

00:08:30.580 even J6 and anything in between.

00:08:33.540 Nobody's getting hung.

00:08:36.940 Nobody's being executed.

00:08:38.460 Maybe you go to jail.

00:08:39.680 Maybe.

00:08:40.780 The biggest point is this.

00:08:42.360 We have the beauty of living in America.

00:08:44.500 We have the justice system.

00:08:45.660 We have law and order.

00:08:46.960 We have no clue how crazy it is on that side of the world.

00:08:50.000 And this is just an unfortunate another example.

00:08:52.060 You know what drives me crazy, too?

00:08:53.960 I can already imagine what the chat or I don't I do not look at the chat.

00:08:57.280 I think I don't look at it at all.

00:08:58.860 But the fact that people, automatically your brain goes, Israel, you're like, shut the hell up for two seconds of your freaking life and think about what is actually happening to the people.

00:09:10.240 Take Israel out of your brain for two minutes and at least admit two things could exist at the same time.

00:09:15.980 Yes, Israel wants this war.

00:09:17.640 Okay, congratulations.

00:09:19.040 Put that to the side.

00:09:20.540 Is this not bother you?

00:09:22.040 Does this not infuriate you?

00:09:23.340 and they're just sitting there

00:09:25.420 knowing their fate

00:09:26.700 knowing their fate

00:09:27.840 because they had the freaking balls

00:09:29.400 to stand in the street

00:09:30.400 and say enough

00:09:31.680 enough

00:09:32.700 their fathers

00:09:33.720 their mothers

00:09:34.320 their grandparents

00:09:35.200 their great grandparents

00:09:36.260 under this freaking regime

00:09:38.040 and then finally people

00:09:39.220 are starting to do something

00:09:40.220 and all you can do

00:09:41.340 is just one

00:09:41.920 it's just Israel

00:09:43.240 it's Israel

00:09:43.880 it's Israel

00:09:44.220 okay take that

00:09:45.480 put it to the side

00:09:46.260 these freaking people

00:09:47.540 are getting murdered

00:09:48.680 and nobody gives a shit

00:09:50.140 nobody cares

00:09:50.960 I want one

00:09:51.940 I want one athlete to step up.

00:09:54.480 I haven't heard one.

00:09:55.740 Be honest.

00:09:56.200 Have you heard one, Pat?

00:09:57.100 Have you heard one athlete say anything?

00:09:58.920 America?

00:09:59.580 Any athlete.

00:10:01.080 Any.

00:10:01.700 Let me just echo what you're saying, Vinny.

00:10:03.380 It drives me crazy.

00:10:04.580 And I understand why you feel that way.

00:10:06.060 There was an African-American UFC fighter that said,

00:10:08.720 I couldn't fight all day because I saw the wrestler.

00:10:13.460 He says, I don't know why, but I was messed up in the middle of the fight.

00:10:16.880 I couldn't fight.

00:10:17.940 I couldn't even attack.

00:10:18.800 That's all I was thinking about.

00:10:20.000 Because he was thinking about this guy.

00:10:20.460 A friend, a person that's a wrestler like me got killed for what he does just because he had a different opinion.

00:10:26.900 That guy right there, is that it?

00:10:28.240 Yeah, can you play that?

00:10:29.500 Can you play that?

00:10:30.240 Who is this, by the way?

00:10:31.180 Can we give credit to his name?

00:10:32.300 Bobby Green.

00:10:32.960 What's his name?

00:10:33.440 Bobby Green.

00:10:33.960 Go on and play it, Rob.

00:10:35.340 Had a few minutes to digest.

00:10:36.760 Now I'd just like to hear your evaluation of your performance.

00:10:40.520 Can I curse?

00:10:41.300 No.

00:10:41.700 Yeah, you go.

00:10:42.060 It's fucking terrible.

00:10:44.520 I felt it was terrible.

00:10:45.560 I felt I was off.

00:10:46.920 I don't know.

00:10:47.600 I just felt like I was out of it.

00:10:49.080 I don't know why.

00:10:49.860 Like, sometimes we have bad nights, I guess.

00:10:51.680 Tonight was my bad night, you know, where I was just like, what's the matter with you?

00:10:55.320 Like, hit him.

00:10:56.440 Like, catch him after that hand, you know?

00:10:57.900 What are you doing?

00:10:58.920 I was just really in my head a lot, you know?

00:11:00.740 Like, you guys showed that terrible freaking thing with Navid, and it just fucked me up, you know?

00:11:06.820 You really just crushed me today.

00:11:08.160 Like, somebody lost their life today, you know?

00:11:10.700 Somebody lost their life today.

00:11:11.720 I don't know if that means much to y'all, but that means a lot to me, you know?

00:11:14.700 That's a part of our community.

00:11:15.720 I'm a wrestler.

00:11:16.920 I was a wrestling coach.

00:11:18.100 he changed people's lives and he just lost his life fucking sad i i saw we saw you uh emotional

00:11:23.980 on the broadcast i was gonna ask you how much do you think that affected you in there just saying

00:11:27.780 that right before i'm not gonna lie it fucked me up man like pause it right yeah i just can't pause

00:11:32.740 it right there can i ask you something yeah so rob i don't know if you can try to find what dana

00:11:37.160 white said but here you have two different wrestlers you have an american wrestler doing

00:11:42.380 a press conference and you have an iranian wrestler who's seen his life taken for because

00:11:49.280 he was protesting you have obviously family you're born in iran walk us through the mindset

00:11:53.740 of being a national hero but then being killed for not towing the line for your country's honor

00:12:02.680 so to speak well you have to realize like one of the things like when we when we came from iran

00:12:08.200 and we landed in Germany and we came to the States.

00:12:11.900 We're watching the news.

00:12:13.900 Somebody on the news was saying bad things

00:12:16.760 about the president of the United States.

00:12:18.400 This is 1990, we just came to America.

00:12:20.860 And my mom's watching and saying,

00:12:22.900 poor guy, they're probably going to kill him.

00:12:24.260 Oh, wow.

00:12:29.000 Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything,

00:12:32.060 like packing a spare stick.

00:12:33.360 I like to be prepared.

00:12:35.460 That's why I remember 988,

00:12:36.980 Canada's Suicide Crisis Helpline.

00:12:39.340 It's good to know, just in case.

00:12:41.480 Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a trained responder, anytime.

00:12:46.940 988 Suicide Crisis Helpline is funded by the government in Canada.

00:12:52.420 Now streaming on Paramount+.

00:12:54.820 My center, my soul is gone.

00:12:58.520 From Academy Award nominee Taylor Sheridan.

00:13:01.920 Mine is not a family designed to withstand tragedy.

00:13:05.720 Starring Academy Award nominee Michelle Pfeiffer

00:13:08.600 and Golden Globe nominee Kurt Russell.

00:13:11.680 The worry is what you do next.

00:13:14.120 You will have as much life to live as you allow yourself.

00:13:17.380 The Madison.

00:13:18.700 New series now streaming only on Paramount+.

00:13:21.940 That was the first place for MindWay.

00:13:25.140 Because the mindset for us is, you can't do that.

00:13:28.840 In America, it's a business model to trash the president.

00:13:32.240 You can't do that in Iran.

00:13:34.040 By the way, you can't do that in Russia.

00:13:35.900 Of course.

00:13:36.460 You can't do that in China.

00:13:37.980 You can't do that in most of these countries.

00:13:40.120 North Korea.

00:13:41.040 By the way, nowadays, you know, people have a hard time doing it in some of the countries,

00:13:45.540 and, you know, now it's getting opened up with Venezuela.

00:13:48.280 Look at the U.K.

00:13:49.240 The risk of freedom of speech is what?

00:13:52.380 You're going to get pushback and disagreement, okay?

00:13:55.960 You can't do that in Iran.

00:13:57.300 So in Iran, the messaging goes, the guy we played a week and a half ago,

00:14:02.020 He says, bring all of those people back, make an example of them so everybody knows you can never, ever speak out against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard.

00:14:14.180 But in America, that's not that's not something that's this guy right here.

00:14:17.980 Listen to what he says. Go ahead, Rob.

00:14:19.800 Parents, just two minutes.

00:14:21.980 If your son or daughter doesn't listen, it's not our fault.

00:14:24.840 Anyone in Iran today who utters a tune that harmonizes with the enemy,

00:14:28.880 under their feet is Tel Aviv, and in their head is Netanyahu.

00:14:32.940 A shooting order has been issued for them.

00:14:35.220 No one has ever spoken to you this, frankly.

00:14:37.260 We don't want your child to be killed because your child is ignorant.

00:14:40.840 Do you hear that?

00:14:42.500 Don't make us kill your kids.

00:14:44.080 Don't make us kill your kids.

00:14:45.640 It's like the husband, the guy that hits his wife and says,

00:14:48.940 you made me do this, or the father that hits his son and says,

00:14:51.580 you made me do this.

00:14:52.480 Why did you make me do this to you?

00:14:53.840 Why did you make me do this to you?

00:14:55.640 That's what that is.

00:14:56.460 So it's a very different world that is taking place.

00:15:00.360 And by the way, guess what?

00:15:02.860 That's someone's son, that's someone's brother, that's someone's nephew,

00:15:05.340 that's someone's cousin, gone.

00:15:07.580 There is no more birthdays, dinners, nothing.

00:15:11.820 None of that stuff.

00:15:12.640 That guy's gone.

00:15:13.340 No matter all the protesting you do today, those guys are not coming back.

00:15:16.540 Their lives are gone.

00:15:17.520 That's what that regime thinks when it comes down to any of their existing

00:15:21.120 athletes speaking against their people.

00:15:22.500 I want to get to the next story.

00:15:23.460 I just wanted to ask you one follow-up, because this comes down to mindset.

00:15:27.400 Power versus force.

00:15:28.480 I don't know if we can pull that up.
