00:00:00.060 Yesterday, the president is on Air Force One, and you know his typical where he stands between
00:00:04.880 the two areas and he's doing his interviews.
00:00:07.440 He's being asked all these different questions, and it's four of them that I want to go through.
00:00:11.840 One of them, Rob, if you want to start off with, you can talk about the talking, do you
00:00:15.760 think Iran's taking your threats seriously?
00:00:18.560 Can you imagine talking to a guy that previously took out their number two guy in Iran, Ghassam
00:00:23.500 Soleimani, and the reporter has the audacity to ask you if Iran's taking your threats seriously?
00:00:28.220 Go ahead, Rob.
00:00:30.000 Do you think Iran takes your threats seriously?
00:00:32.360 I think so.
00:00:32.980 Don't you think so, CNN?
00:00:34.780 Don't you think so?
00:00:36.060 Wouldn't you say that they probably do at this point?
00:00:39.480 After going through it for years with me, being hit, Soleimani, al-Baghdadi, the Iran nuclear
00:00:46.800 threat whacked out, don't you think, and then you just had Venezuela, don't you think, she 0.95
00:00:52.620 says, CNN, do you think they take your threats seriously?
00:00:56.180 Wouldn't you say they do after all of the things we've done? 1.00
00:00:58.960 What a stupid question. 1.00
00:01:02.720 How do you ask a question like that? 1.00
00:01:05.180 Like, what, can you do me a favor?
00:01:07.980 Be the other side.
00:01:09.500 Okay.
00:01:09.860 Like, play the other side.
00:01:10.980 Be a liberal.
00:01:11.900 Be a person right now.
00:01:13.360 Do I have to color my hair and put on glasses and be LGBT?
00:01:16.500 Tom, honestly, make the argument for a person that has this reputation to say, who just
00:01:22.300 went and took out Maduro, okay?
00:01:24.360 Who just went, and he told him, I'm going to do this to you, who just went and took out,
00:01:27.700 you know, the stuff that he's done.
00:01:29.240 But make the argument why that's a good question to ask.
00:01:32.600 I don't know if I can make the argument, but I can make the description.
00:01:35.400 The liberals and the mainstream media, they don't take him seriously.
00:01:38.640 They do not take Trump seriously.
00:01:40.560 They use all sorts of words to describe him.
00:01:43.820 You think they still don't take him seriously?
00:01:45.880 Huh?
00:01:46.180 You think the liberal media still doesn't take him seriously?
00:01:49.040 No.
00:01:49.700 I do not think CNN takes him seriously at all.
00:01:52.500 Because the only way you are able to ask that question is if you are, A, deluded and
00:01:58.360 not paying attention.
00:01:59.180 Yeah.
00:01:59.280 Not paying attention to all those facts that he put out.
00:02:01.540 All those facts.
00:02:02.460 Or you just believe in your heart that he is incapable, shouldn't have been there, the
00:02:09.880 election should have gone the other way.
00:02:11.600 You just believe that.
00:02:13.380 Denial is an incredibly powerful drug.
00:02:15.560 But again, this is CNN, Tommy.
00:02:18.220 First of all, I would never even allow them on my airplane, number one.
00:02:21.860 Well, there's some more.
00:02:22.520 They could step out.
00:02:23.180 No, I get it.
00:02:23.640 But number two, it's Tom. 0.99
00:02:25.380 They're not stupid. 0.94
00:02:26.860 They know they take him serious, but anything to make him look weaker, anything to make him 0.97
00:02:31.080 look non-presidential or, like I said, weak or fragile.
00:02:35.580 But he has the receipts.
00:02:37.580 He's going in.
00:02:38.700 He's doing surgical stuff to take out these people. 1.00
00:02:41.520 CNN, at the end of the day, Tom, they're not stupid. 0.99
00:02:43.760 They know exactly what they're doing. 0.87
00:02:45.600 And here's my question, though.
00:02:47.340 Where do these questions come from?
00:02:48.660 I don't think the reporters get to just go willy-nilly like how we are here with our stories
00:02:51.820 and stuff like that.
00:02:52.640 Who's giving them the okay to say, okay, go in there and ask him this question?
00:02:55.280 The producer in their ear.
00:02:56.640 Exactly.
00:02:57.120 So it's coming from headquarters, CNN.
00:03:00.680 Okay?
00:03:01.440 Undermine the president, make him look weak.
00:03:03.100 But guess what? 0.99
00:03:03.760 You're messing with the freaking lion. 0.99
00:03:05.360 Like he's going to give a damn. 1.00
00:03:06.340 It's only validating him, by the way.
00:03:08.060 Exactly.
00:03:08.940 Play the next clip, Rob.
00:03:09.960 Play the next clip.
00:03:11.380 There seem to be some people killed that aren't supposed to be killed.
00:03:15.020 These are violent.
00:03:17.060 If you call them leaders, I don't know if they're leaders or just they rule through violence.
00:03:22.080 But we're looking at it very seriously.
00:03:24.000 The military is looking at it.
00:03:26.360 And we're looking at some very strong options.
00:03:29.740 We'll make a determination.
00:03:31.240 Some of the protesters were killed through the stampeding.
00:03:35.020 I mean, you know, there's so many of them.
00:03:37.140 And some were shot.
00:03:38.580 Are we getting a full report?
00:03:39.560 I'm getting an hourly report.
00:03:41.440 And we're going to make a determination.
00:03:44.100 By the way, the numbers right now is 11,000 protesters have been arrested.
00:03:48.880 Okay?
00:03:49.360 The number they're reporting is over 500 killed that's now being reported by mainstream media.
00:03:56.680 People on the streets are saying the number's around 4,000, if not even higher.
00:04:02.060 And while this is taking place, probably the biggest thing in Iran that the mainstream media doesn't want to talk about is the following.
00:04:10.920 Can you ask ChatGBT, and just to see what reports come up, do you know how many mosques in Iran have been burned down?
00:04:17.680 Do you know how many mosques they're burning down?
00:04:20.580 Iranians.
00:04:21.560 And why?
00:04:22.300 Well, because what they're saying is they're saying we're Persian, but we're not Islamists.
00:04:27.580 Wow.
00:04:28.240 They're burning down mosques because they're done with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard.
00:04:33.480 Do you know what is one of the biggest countries of losing?
00:04:37.120 Guys, can you turn off that ringtone on your phone?
00:04:39.220 Do you know what is one of the biggest countries that's losing converts from Islam to Christianity?
00:04:45.060 You know what it is?
00:04:45.760 Iran's at the top of the list. 0.96
00:04:46.900 Really?
00:04:47.200 People are leaving.
00:04:49.300 They're leaving, and they're saying, I want a different life in Iran. 0.99
00:04:52.960 FYI, the Internet now, which, Tom, I'm going to go to the story, and I'm coming straight to you.
00:04:58.380 In Iran, the story you hear about is the kill switch. 0.53
00:05:01.980 Iran flips the kill switch to hide alleged crimes as death toll rises amid protests.
00:05:09.980 Okay?
00:05:10.300 So the kill switch is what?
00:05:12.600 The Internet.
00:05:13.260 Okay?
00:05:13.540 Yes.
00:05:13.760 And electricity.
00:05:14.820 The Iranian regime triggered an Internet kill switch in an apparent effort to hide alleged abuse by security forces.
00:05:20.560 And as protests against it surged nationwide, a cybersecurity expert has claimed the blackout slashed Internet access to a fraction of normal levels.
00:05:30.120 On the 13th day of the protests, as rights groups, including Amnesty International, accused the regime of using lethal forces against protesters.
00:05:39.340 This is Iran's war against its own population using digital means. 0.95
00:05:43.860 Okay, NetBlox, CEO Alptoker told Fox News Digital this was a piecemeal measure that eventually encompassed the entire country.
00:05:55.100 With the government willing to use this kind of measure for an extended period of time, there would be an empty attempt by the regime to cover up the crimes that it may have committed.
00:06:05.520 So this blackout could potentially last for days, if not for weeks.
00:06:10.180 This group also reported that more than 2,300 people have been arrested and that demonstrations have spread to at least 180 cities nationwide.
00:06:17.580 Most of those killed were protesters, the groups at town.
00:06:20.600 Thoughts?
00:06:21.000 In the history of dictators that have been overrun people, going back to Pol Pot in Vietnam, after the Pol Pot in Cambodia, the killing fields, turning off the media is the tool of the aggressor.
00:06:35.860 And isolating the people from communication is the tool of the aggressor.
00:06:43.140 We have seen it in other failed states.
00:06:46.220 We saw it in Uganda turning off phones under Idi Amin.
00:06:49.040 There were so many things that people do to turn off the communications.
00:06:53.580 And the reason they're turning this off, you were on Fox on Sunday, Pat, Sunday morning, and you talked about it, that there are people out there, credible people that had Starlink and other resources that are saying the number is higher.
00:07:08.220 Look, what does the regime want?
00:07:09.980 The regime wants to put the number lower.
00:07:12.440 They want the world to say, hey, there were some protests.
00:07:15.400 There have been some people here, but it's not a lot.
00:07:17.660 We're letting them protest.
00:07:19.320 They have their say, but that's it.
00:07:21.620 However, the protesters are saying, no, that's not true.
00:07:24.520 In certain areas, they are committing atrocities.
00:07:28.440 They're committing slaughter.
00:07:29.420 And the number is much higher.
00:07:31.120 If the number is high and it gets out to the Western media, guess who responds?
00:07:36.640 It's DJT 47 already said, you be careful.
00:07:41.060 If you exercise undue force and you start killing these protesters, I will – the U.S. stands ready to help.
00:07:49.160 The USA stands ready to help was the quote.
00:07:51.740 And so they can't have big numbers come out because the big guy is going to show up because we see this as a protest of the people who are lawfully assembling in the streets and are just tired of the dark side of it.
00:08:07.400 You know who the Internet is hurting the most?
00:08:10.800 You know who the Internet electricity is?
00:08:12.320 The regime.
00:08:13.020 Yeah, right.
00:08:13.740 The Internet is destroying the regime because they need to make money.
00:08:16.700 So guess what?
00:08:17.180 I don't think it's going to be weeks.
00:08:18.720 I think they have to open it up here soon.
00:08:22.580 And if they do or they don't, think about it from this standpoint.
00:08:27.300 Imagine President Trump and his team.
00:08:29.800 What do you think they're telling them?
00:08:31.980 What do you think that call sounds like?
00:08:33.980 Because he's saying, Rob, I don't know if you have the clip that says they're talking, they want to renegotiate.
00:08:38.960 Do you have that one that, you know, they have reached out to us, they're negotiating with us.
00:08:43.720 They changed the subject and said that –
00:08:45.300 Do you have that?
00:08:45.980 Yeah, they said we're willing to talk about a nuclear deal and other things.
00:08:48.740 Why are you changing the subject?
00:08:50.020 Yeah.
00:08:50.200 Why do you want to talk about a nuclear deal and change the subject?
00:08:52.280 Really, you got some problems there, regime?
00:08:54.120 Is this it, Rob?
00:08:54.920 Yes, sir.
00:08:55.180 Go ahead and play this clip.
00:08:55.940 Watch this, folks.
00:08:56.660 What do you think of Iran to engage diplomatically with you or perhaps negotiate on nuclear program?
00:09:03.700 With Iran? 0.99
00:09:04.640 Yeah, do you think they want to engage diplomatically with you?
00:09:06.640 Watch this.
00:09:07.680 They called –
00:09:08.460 They called you yesterday?
00:09:10.300 Is it still an option?
00:09:12.200 Iran called to negotiate.
00:09:13.760 Yesterday.
00:09:14.880 Yesterday.
00:09:15.580 The leaders of Iran called.
00:09:16.940 They want to negotiate.
00:09:18.220 I think they're tired of being beat up by the United States.
00:09:21.040 Are you still going to get that call?
00:09:23.000 Iran wants to negotiate, yes.
00:09:26.780 We may meet with them.
00:09:28.400 I mean, a meeting is being set up.
00:09:31.280 But we may have to act because of what's happening before the meeting.
00:09:37.000 But if a meeting is being set up, Iran called, they want to negotiate.
00:09:40.860 Thank you very much.
00:09:42.040 Okay, so when you – and Adam, I'm going to come to you right now.
00:09:44.880 So when you think about that, here's what it comes down to.
00:09:48.160 What do you think if the president is speaking to them?
00:09:52.080 The best thing about what we have right now is the following.
00:09:54.780 We want to buy this property, okay?
00:09:57.880 Guy comes to me, makes a massive offer for this property, okay?
00:10:01.560 And it's 2X what I bought it for.
00:10:03.660 Why?
00:10:04.340 He's trying to buy everything down here at the investor because he wants to tear this place down
00:10:07.580 and build high-rises and units.
00:10:09.820 Okay, now luckily I own it.
00:10:11.040 So if I don't want to do it because, you know, where I live, okay, so it could be –
00:10:15.700 but if somebody wants to come buy this, what are they going to look at?
00:10:18.720 Comps.
00:10:19.300 Of course.
00:10:19.840 Okay, what are the comps?
00:10:20.820 Next door, bigger lot, newer property, sold for $4.8 million.
00:10:25.980 Okay, this is worth whatever, $4.4 million, right?
00:10:29.580 Hey, the guy next door just sold for $7.8 million, smaller lot, older property,
00:10:35.540 this is worth $8.2 million.
00:10:37.440 What is the best comp that Iranians have right now to know exactly, 1.00
00:10:42.520 at least to get an idea of what the president is capable of doing?
00:10:46.060 What is the best comp to Iran that we have right now?
00:10:49.360 Venezuela.
00:10:50.220 Okay, so what did they call and give Maduro as an option?
00:10:56.980 Turn yourself in.
00:10:57.820 Turn yourself in with your wife and get out. 1.00
00:11:00.380 And leave.
00:11:00.940 That's right.
00:11:01.280 They gave him the heads up.
00:11:01.920 Did they give him that option?
00:11:03.240 100%.
00:11:03.600 Okay, so what did he do?
00:11:05.380 Several times.
00:11:05.860 He stayed.
00:11:06.320 He chose to ignore them and get double down, come for me!
00:11:09.160 But guess what, though?
00:11:10.200 Because to him, he didn't want to lose face to walk out, okay?
00:11:15.380 He wanted to what?
00:11:16.680 Come get me.
00:11:18.160 By the way, in a way, respect.
00:11:20.520 To be honest with you, respect.
00:11:22.400 Come get me.
00:11:23.120 All right.
00:11:24.280 Do you think there's a likelihood that they've given that option to the Iranian regime as well?
00:11:28.660 Probably.
00:11:29.160 You think they have?
00:11:29.960 Probably.
00:11:30.180 Okay, that's probably one.
00:11:32.000 Number two, what do you think the Iranian leaders are going to say?
00:11:35.540 Khamenei, do you think they're going to turn themselves in?
00:11:37.540 Absolutely not.
00:11:38.140 No chance whatsoever.
00:11:39.160 No chance.
00:11:39.520 Okay, so that's...
00:11:40.600 Different mindset.
00:11:41.320 Different mindset.
00:11:41.980 Remember when I asked the president about the Iran situation, and I said, what do you
00:11:46.700 do with Iran, and what do you do with this?
00:11:48.620 He says, your mind has to be what?
00:11:50.720 Remember the word he used?
00:11:52.100 It was a swivel?
00:11:52.920 He says, you have to be ready to go any direction.
00:11:55.680 It could be good for this.
00:11:56.860 It could be different for this.
00:11:57.860 Rob, do you remember that conversation when I was asking him if he can pull it up?
00:12:01.360 You've got to be flexible.
00:12:02.440 It was a different word that he used.
00:12:04.100 But it's flexible is what it means.
00:12:05.580 To me, that's one option.
00:12:08.660 What are the other options?
00:12:10.620 Send Delta. 0.55
00:12:11.580 What are the other options?
00:12:13.120 Attack.
00:12:13.800 What are the other options?
00:12:15.600 There's...
00:12:16.200 So think about it.
00:12:17.260 When you're watching this, and he's saying, we're talking to them, but we may not have
00:12:22.040 to wait till the negotiation takes place because we may need to...
00:12:26.420 Act.
00:12:26.500 He pauses.
00:12:27.680 Was about to use a different word.
00:12:29.000 He says act.
00:12:30.080 Right?
00:12:30.460 What do you think is going on here, Adam?
00:12:31.640 So for me, the signal through all the noise is that Iran has been humiliated in the last 0.53
00:12:38.180 two years.
00:12:39.740 You know, they've been a paper tiger, and they've been exposed.
00:12:44.160 The 12-day war in Israel, Israel won matter-of-factly.
00:12:48.240 Israel took away all their proxies in two years.
00:12:50.840 All that money they invested in all their proxies, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, all gone, done,
00:12:58.920 dissipated.
00:12:59.380 Number two, all the money they've spent on the nuclear program, U.S., Trump comes in,
00:13:04.720 boom, B-52 bombers, whatever they were, stealth, whatever you want to call it, it's
00:13:09.860 gone.
00:13:10.400 So they've been exposed and humiliated.
00:13:13.160 So it's kind of like the guy that's like, oh, yeah, bro, you want to go?
00:13:16.500 Yeah, meet me outside, dude.
00:13:17.800 Whatever you say, let's go.
00:13:19.340 And you go outside with him, and you knock him out.
00:13:22.700 And now he's like, yeah, yeah, you want to go round two?
00:13:25.020 And then you knock him out again.
00:13:26.400 And at what point are your words just going to be completely hollow?
00:13:30.960 How many speeches have we seen the Ayatollahs say, the enemies will bow on their knees?
00:13:35.760 Nobody's scared of you, buddy.
00:13:37.300 Yeah, yeah.
00:13:38.000 Everyone's clowning you at this point.
00:13:40.240 You're an 85-year-old man that absolutely nobody fears, especially your enemies.
00:13:47.220 Anyways, here's the biggest thing that I can tell you.
00:13:50.300 This weekend, I was watching movies.
00:13:52.960 And I happened to watch with my girl this movie called Sleeping with the Enemy.
00:13:58.660 You ever see this movie?
00:13:59.340 Old school.
00:14:00.240 Julia Roberts. 0.94
00:14:01.480 She falls in love with this abusive control freak.
00:14:05.420 There's a story here about Iran.
00:14:07.620 And there's three phases of an abusive relationship.
00:14:10.960 Number one, there's attachment.
00:14:12.600 Love, emotion.
00:14:13.800 You're not thinking clearly.
00:14:15.280 You're ignoring logic.
00:14:16.420 I don't know.
00:14:16.960 There's something about him I love.
00:14:18.900 Number two, entrapment.
00:14:21.140 He's got you now.
00:14:22.280 Control.
00:14:23.040 You're under his wings.
00:14:24.420 You have to basically deviate your life.
00:14:26.860 You're telling your friends certain things.
00:14:29.200 You recognize there's issues.
00:14:30.880 He's controlling everything.
00:14:32.280 All of a sudden, you realize, this isn't what I signed up for.
00:14:35.740 And then number three, eventually, there's liberation.
00:14:40.240 You're going to get caught.
00:14:41.380 You're going to get beat.
00:14:42.480 Just like the people of Iran are going to jail. 1.00
00:14:44.560 How many people are losing their lives?
00:14:47.040 Let's not let these people die in vain.
00:14:49.300 And eventually, she gets free.
00:14:51.540 And eventually, the storybook ending with the people of Iran, of Great Persia, they will 1.00
00:14:56.400 eventually be free.
00:14:57.580 Vinny.
00:14:57.860 You know, and I know you guys know me.
00:15:00.060 I've said this how many times.
00:15:01.200 I'm not one of these, like, people that just wants America because I hate that we were
00:15:06.900 put in.
00:15:07.520 We were put in the position of being the world's police.
00:15:10.080 And Iraq, I don't know how many times I have to tell you guys, I don't want us poking 0.99
00:15:13.480 our nose in other people's business if we don't have to.
00:15:17.100 There is something happening in the world right now.
00:15:19.740 It's like a global awakening.
00:15:21.860 With Venezuela, it's happening.
00:15:23.200 With Iran, it's happening. 1.00
00:15:24.420 It's starting to spread.
00:15:25.540 And by the way, this only comes, Pat, when you have an actual leader.
00:15:30.400 And the left, I don't listen to all that noise.
00:15:32.100 I love that you said signal versus noise.
00:15:33.560 Again, Adam, I don't care about the noise.
00:15:36.080 I don't care what the Chank Unger, whatever his name is. 1.00
00:15:38.480 I don't care what the Harry Sisson say.
00:15:40.400 These people are allergic to real leadership.
00:15:43.300 You have a boss that's in there that's not playing games.
00:15:46.220 He's not going to let China. 0.99
00:15:47.540 By the way, this weekend, China, Russia, and Iran were playing Navy games, Pat.
00:15:52.700 They're all teaming up, and they want to show their force.
00:15:55.340 But you have a boss that's in there right now that's not going to let our enemies.
00:15:59.580 I don't like this word adversaries.
00:16:01.300 You're not going to get close to us.
00:16:02.860 You're not going to be setting up shop in Venezuela.
00:16:04.880 And with Iran, I'm sorry. 1.00
00:16:07.200 It's the people.
00:16:08.300 I don't give a damn what anybody on the left says, Patrick.
00:16:11.260 The people are fighting, and they're dying for what they believe in.
00:16:15.300 Okay?
00:16:15.540 They're fighting, and good for them, and God bless them.
00:16:18.000 And I love the fact that you said that Christianity is on the rise.
00:16:21.320 I know I said it last week where I'm like, maybe they need a Christian leader.
00:16:24.580 Maybe they need something completely different.
00:16:26.680 Because if they go back to the old school and put another Khomeini in that's Islamists 1.00
00:16:30.700 and all this, then all this work is for nothing.
00:16:32.980 And Pat said something this weekend, Pat, that hit me on Fox and Friends.
00:16:37.060 Pat said, look at how God is lining up everything if you look at the signs.
00:16:40.880 Donald Trump is a 47th president.
00:16:42.780 It's taken them 47 years, and they're doing this.
00:16:46.200 And guess how old this guy is who's from Iran?
00:16:48.060 Tom, 47 years old, it's as if everything is lining up to do it, and it gives me hope.
00:16:53.240 It's hope.
00:16:53.840 And maybe, Tom, this spreads to, like, a North Korea where these people are under a dictator
00:16:57.920 path.
00:16:58.360 I think it's an amazing thing, and I think what the president is doing is freaking awesome.
00:17:02.580 And I'm with them 100%.
00:17:03.720 Period.
00:17:04.940 I'm with you, and I think there's some things there that the American people are starting
00:17:09.500 to understand that the American media is ignoring, because they, American media sees Islam as
00:17:15.680 a race.
00:17:16.300 Yes.
00:17:16.560 And they say to them, Arabs, Arabic people from the Middle East are Islam, and all Islam is 1.00
00:17:22.460 Arabic, right?
00:17:23.300 They have this weird thing, because they want to put everything in a race box so that they 0.98
00:17:27.900 have a victim box.
00:17:28.940 And then in the victim box, they have an advocacy, right?
00:17:32.900 Because that's the way that they manage and manipulate voting groups. 0.99
00:17:37.260 And that's the way Minnesota, whoops, found out that the little pit bull they adopted and 0.99
00:17:42.400 all the Somalis has grown up, and oh, my gosh, it's quite a dog now. 1.00
00:17:46.460 But the mainstream media doesn't understand the history of Iran.
00:17:50.080 They are Persians. 0.99
00:17:51.760 Yes.
00:17:51.980 And they are rebelling against what they see as the violent Islamic, the IRC. 0.92
00:17:57.420 Pat was trying to talk about it on Fox.
00:17:59.540 I wish this segment had another five minutes.
00:18:01.740 Me too.
00:18:01.920 Because he could have laid it out, because Pat's an expert on Iran.
00:18:05.280 And I was listening to this, and I'm like, they don't get it.
00:18:08.000 They're trying to put all of these repressed people, you know, and all these people that 1.00
00:18:12.600 are protesting, they're trying to put them in a box, but whoops, they're fighting for
00:18:16.080 freedom.
00:18:16.780 Oh, that's against narrative.
00:18:18.280 They're fighting against totalitarian control.
00:18:20.760 Oh, against control?
00:18:21.700 They don't want to be manipulated by the government.
00:18:23.800 Whoops.
00:18:24.340 So the American mainstream media doesn't know what box to put in these people that want
00:18:29.200 their freedom in Iran.
00:18:30.400 And it doesn't fit into the race, you know, culture, victim box where they want to put
00:18:36.160 everybody in a label.
00:18:37.200 And so they don't cover it.
00:18:38.400 And they're not covering the whole thing.
00:18:40.040 They're actually covering for the regime.
00:18:42.280 Who is the sympathizer for totalitarian fascism now?
00:18:45.580 Yeah.
00:18:46.000 The U.S. mainstream media.
00:18:47.080 Can I ask you a question?
00:18:48.220 So I was doing some research.
00:18:50.280 Maybe you can validate this.
00:18:51.700 It says, I said, what percentage of the Iranian people are pro-regime, against the regime,
00:18:59.200 and then neutral, right?
00:19:00.920 According to these records, about 70 to 75% are against the regime.
00:19:05.760 Weird.
00:19:07.040 Pro is about 10 to 15% and neutral 10 to 15%.
00:19:11.080 Any way you want to cut it.
00:19:12.540 That sounds about right.
00:19:14.300 Some would say higher against.
00:19:16.760 But I think that's a reasonable number.
00:19:18.460 There was a research that was done that I think the number I remember is, you know, 80%.
00:19:23.260 What is that showing, Rob?
00:19:25.720 89% of Iranians support democracy.
00:19:29.000 89%.
00:19:29.880 Okay.
00:19:30.540 Yeah.
00:19:30.700 That's why I said some people would say the number is higher.
00:19:32.440 Can I ask you another follow-up?
00:19:33.780 Okay.
00:19:34.040 So we're agreement on these numbers.
00:19:35.540 Yes.
00:19:36.080 So you're Christian, proudly Christian.
00:19:38.080 Yes.
00:19:38.700 You know, what a lot of Americans don't understand is there's two major sects of Islam.
00:19:43.720 There's Sunni and Shia, correct?
00:19:46.160 Shia, Shiites, is predominantly based in Iran.
00:19:50.440 And I think the vast majority of the population is Shia Muslim.
00:19:54.440 As a Christian, what was life like for a Christian prior to 1979, before the Islamic Revolution?
00:20:02.720 And, you know, you're talking about bringing a Christian as a leader.
00:20:05.260 I don't know how that would work.
00:20:06.460 I would assume they would want a Shiite leader.
00:20:08.880 I don't know.
00:20:10.080 Walk me through the religions component in Iran now.
00:20:13.400 Pre?
00:20:14.340 What it was before?
00:20:15.480 Oh.
00:20:16.140 Nobody cared.
00:20:17.060 Thank you.
00:20:17.700 You weren't like you.
00:20:18.280 Nobody cared what you were.
00:20:19.940 Nobody cared what you were.
00:20:21.040 I mean, and even, you know, Muhammad Azar Shah Pahlavi himself wasn't the most religious guy himself.
00:20:28.680 He was Muslim, though.
00:20:29.320 He was Shiite Muslim.
00:20:29.820 He was Shiite Muslim, but it's not what you have today and not what you are experiencing today. 1.00
00:20:33.620 No, he wasn't an extremist.
00:20:34.720 Not at all.
00:20:35.420 People walked around regular, comfortable.
00:20:37.440 Woman had rights. 1.00
00:20:38.260 Woman had power. 1.00
00:20:39.440 No nine-year-old marrying a 52-year-old man.
00:20:41.900 That kind of stuff was illegal under the Shah.
00:20:44.500 He brought education in.
00:20:46.000 He did an amazing job.
00:20:48.120 And the criticism they'll typically give him, they'll bring up Savak.
00:20:51.200 They'll say, well, what about his secret police?
00:20:53.340 What about his secret police called Savak?
00:20:55.620 Well, what about CIA?
00:20:56.600 What about MI6?
00:20:57.400 What about Mossad?
00:20:58.080 What do you think you need to do if you're building a country to have an empire?
00:21:01.480 You need to have people that are kind of giving you intel on what is taking place.
00:21:05.280 And then post, not even the same.
00:21:08.200 You couldn't walk around Christianity. 1.00
00:21:10.860 You openly weren't a cross out. 0.97
00:21:13.440 It was not the same thing.
00:21:15.500 Post Khomeini.
00:21:16.120 Khomeini.
00:21:16.740 It was a complete different world post Khomeini. 0.94
00:21:19.660 Let me tell you what's going on and who the real MVP in America is the last four weeks,
00:21:24.960 the last three weeks.
00:21:26.000 You know who the real MVP in America is?
00:21:28.280 That unfortunately, they will not get the credit.
00:21:31.380 They will not be talked about.
00:21:33.180 You will not know their names.
00:21:34.980 You will not be able to give to their GoFundMe.
00:21:37.340 You will not be able to do anything with those guys.
00:21:39.320 You know who the real MVP the last few weeks has been in America?
00:21:42.620 The Delta Force.
00:21:44.180 The Delta Force.
00:21:45.260 When I was in the Army, I asked my orders to be, I was going to go be 18 Delta, fifth
00:21:50.120 group.
00:21:50.380 I did all my interviews.
00:21:51.640 I got my orders.
00:21:52.600 I was going to re-enlist six years, go to DLI, go to SEER school, go to, you know, airborne,
00:21:57.120 go to Special Forces.
00:21:59.460 And then I was going to go straight to Vicenza, Italy to be in that area.
00:22:02.040 My friend ends up getting the orders.
00:22:03.920 He ends up becoming Delta.
00:22:05.860 The stuff you're hearing about on how they're going in in Venezuela and how they got them,
00:22:10.040 the reports that are coming out, unreal.
00:22:12.040 And by the way, you know who's watching that very quickly?
00:22:15.260 Khamenei and Iran better be watching very closely because our Delta Force is really strong.
00:22:19.080 If they want to do something, they could get a lot of stuff done.
00:22:21.820 So, guess what is back?
00:22:23.400 You know these USA hats that we had?
00:22:25.580 These beautiful USA hats with the future looks bright on the side and the future looks bright
00:22:30.920 on the bottom.
00:22:31.440 So, these sell out within seconds when we launch these.
00:22:35.220 If you haven't picked one of these up, you love America.
00:22:38.840 There's never been a more important time, especially 250-year anniversary, to go wear this.
00:22:44.040 This is the USA on the front, American flag on the side, future looks bright on the back,
00:22:50.080 and then you've got future looks bright here.

00:22:55.140 We also have the shirts to go with it.
00:22:57.600 Go back on that page as well.

00:23:03.760 There's the different kind of hats for women, for men.
00:23:07.120 Go a little bit lower if you could, Rob.
00:23:08.940 But if you haven't yet ordered one of these USA hats, buy one for yourself, for a friend,
00:23:14.120 for a family member who loves America.
00:23:16.280 Anybody who wears this with the USA being lifted, they love these hats.
