Speaker 1: Great Gun.

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 3: First, Lisa Daptari joins the show.

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: She's someone who's well known commentator on Iranian issues in

12
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: particular and all through the Midleast. You see her a

13
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: lot on Fox, and she wrote a piece about how

14
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: Trump wasn't.

15
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 3: Actually starting in war, he was ending it.

16
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: And this is a theory I've seen thrown out by

17
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: a lot of smart people, and I don't know if

18
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: I entirely subscribe, but I was compelled enough to reach

19
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: out to her. It'd be a great conversation that actually

20
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: ended in a little bit of a semi debate about

21
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: the Pallavi family and whether or not the Shaw's family

22
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: will re emerge as the power in Ran. And I

23
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: think it's far fetched as I worded it, but she

24
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: makes a very I would say compelling case for why

25
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: that could happen, and I think you're going to want

26
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: to hear that. And then we speak to Yael Eckstein,

27
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: who has two distinctions for me. She's someone who really

28
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: does get her hands dirty in Israel trying to save people,

29
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: trying to help them because she runs the International Fellowship

30
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: for Christians and Jews, which is also one of the

31
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: most important sponsors to the show.

32
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 3: I will say this is not a sponsored interview. They

33
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: do sponsor me.

34
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: They support my work, but I support their work too,

35
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: which is part of what I try to pursue with

36
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: all my partners on the show. I try to only

37
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: bring people on who I truly believe in. And she's

38
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: an expert because she's out there right now building bombshelters

39
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: for people who are in harm's way. She's cautiously optimistic

40
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: about the situation for obvious reasons that this could be benefit,

41
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,639
Speaker 1: this could be a net benefit for Israel and Jewish people,

42
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: but overall, it is very dangerous to be in Israel

43
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: at the moment, as it often is. So we talk

44
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: all about that raising a family there and what to

45
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: know about the war, and her efforts for the IFCJ

46
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: which I fully endorse to try to get supplies to

47
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: people who needed who are in harms way. So all

48
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: this is good stuff. You're going to enjoy it. Check

49
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: out Lisa and Yaell our new guest of the show.

50
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: Lisa Daftari, who's one of the first people that I

51
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: wanted to talk to when I saw the war breakout

52
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: in Iran. She runs something called the Foreign Desk, which

53
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: I read on a regular basis, and also is a

54
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: foreign policy analyst often seen in places like Fox. She's

55
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: had a great piece in Fox about how Trump didn't

56
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: start a war, he ended one, and I want to

57
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: talk a lot about your take on all the various

58
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: elements of the war. But this is a premise that

59
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: I've heard repeated now by a bunch of smart people,

60
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: that this was actually not a new war, that this

61
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: is something that he's just writing, a historical wrong that's

62
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: been going back decades of flesh this out for us.

63
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 4: Lisa Sure, I wrote that out ed for Fox News

64
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 4: in the first hours of this war because I knew

65
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 4: that this was going to be a narrative shift in

66
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 4: the West. People who just want to disagree with anything

67
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 4: President Trump does rather than look at what an opportunity.

68
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 5: This was not just for the Iranian people, not.

69
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 4: Just for the Middle East, but for the global community,

70
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 4: and that includes American national security and homeland security here.

71
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 4: So you know, we're looking at a war that started

72
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: not this past weekend, but in nineteen seventy nine, when

73
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 4: this regime came into place and toppled the shaw of Iran.

74
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 5: You had a hardline, sheeite, brutal.

75
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 4: Islamic theocracy that wasn't just interested in dominating the people

76
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: of Iran, but also exporting its brand of Shiad Islam

77
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 4: throughout the Middle East and throughout the world. So from

78
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 4: that day, they launched a war against the United States.

79
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 5: They called the United.

80
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 4: States the big say in Israel, the little say in

81
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 4: death to America, burning American flags and of course taking

82
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 4: Americans hostage.

83
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 5: From that day, we saw.

84
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 4: Wars against the United States in terms of its proxies

85
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: in the region, suicide bombings. They're the number one state

86
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: sponsor of terror in the region, and at home, the

87
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 4: number one state executioner. Hundreds of innocent Iranians killed daily,

88
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 4: sorry monthly, several a day because of mere Facebook posts.

89
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 4: Being an athlete, being a journalist, being a political opposition leader.

90
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 4: So this is a long time in the works. The

91
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 4: fact that Donald Trump chose to launch this war, and

92
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 4: that's why I wrote the op ed. He chose this

93
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: opportune moment, he saw the regimas week, their proxies diminished

94
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 4: since October seventh, their economy and shambles, an opportunity to

95
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 4: go in and stop kicking the can down the road

96
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 4: and to end this threat for decades to come.

97
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: So, Lisa, one of the things that I've been trying

98
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: to emphasize to people is that Iran is different than

99
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: any other foe we've had you politically in my entire lifetime,

100
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: and that they really do fund All of the attacks

101
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: that are against our country in modern times have all

102
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: had Iranian money behind it. And they were gituinately pursuing

103
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons on around the clock basis with the intention

104
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: of using them, not just to joke around, but they

105
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: really are crazy enough to do it. And I feel

106
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,239
Speaker 1: like that this was People are not able to grapple

107
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: with this, considering that we we've gotten burned in the

108
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: Middle East so many times. I respect that completely, but

109
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: this is different.

110
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 4: Nobody wants a war, Nobody wants a war, Nobody wants

111
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 4: American casualties, especially Donald Trump, who campaigned on ending wars,

112
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 4: not starting them, right, So you have to understand that

113
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 4: he believes, and so do most of us sane people,

114
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 4: that this is an opportune moment to really protect our

115
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 4: national security and homeland security for many reasons. Look, the

116
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 4: strategic comparatives of the United States are very clear. Anybody

117
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 4: who tells you otherwise is not listening.

118
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 5: They're deaf. They're really deaf.

119
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: Marco Rubio, Petek Sath Donald Trump have outlined and enumerated

120
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: because people are like kindergarteners, what our strategic objectives are

121
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 4: in this Number One, they can't have nuclear weapons. Well,

122
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 4: the foregone conclusion is this regime can't exist. Why their

123
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 4: mere existence is to pursue nuclear weapons. So if we

124
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: want to continue kicking this can down the road, it'll

125
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 4: be like playing wackamall because every couple of years we'll

126
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 4: have to set them back like.

127
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 5: We did in June in the Twelve Day War. We

128
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 5: don't want to do that.

129
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 4: Number two, they can't have a ballistic missile stockpile. As

130
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: you see, they are trying to actively trying to ignite

131
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 4: World War three by firing into the Persian Gulf Arab

132
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 4: states that surround them. Why because they want this to

133
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 4: become a bigger conflict, because that will create chaos, and

134
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 4: that in turn will force the international community to p

135
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 4: pressure on Donald Trump to cease fire number three.

136
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 5: They cannot fund these proxies.

137
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 4: For decades, these proxies have gone after US, our assets,

138
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 4: whether it's in Latin America, Central America, Europe, of course,

139
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 4: the Middle East, Israel October seventh. It was engineered, paid

140
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 4: for the training all by the Iran regime. So imagine

141
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 4: all the death and destruct that they have done in

142
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 4: almost five decades without nuclear weapons.

143
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 5: Imagine them now having nuclear weapons, what they would do.

144
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 4: Donald Trump decided to meet them there instead of them

145
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 4: meeting us here. And I think people need to just

146
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 4: pay attention. If they did pay attention, and if they

147
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 4: were honest and their actual priority was American lives, then

148
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 4: this is what we need to do in order to

149
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 4: protect more American lives in the long run.

150
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: Lisa, you said something there that is really important that

151
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: I do think people should think about. What are the

152
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: key attacks from your vantage point that Iran was funded

153
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: that people may have forgotten about that you think are

154
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: really worth emphasizing.

155
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 5: Oh, start with nineteen seventy nine.

156
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 4: We'll start with the hostage takeover of our embassy four

157
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 4: hundred and forty four days until President Reagan was able

158
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 4: to free them. We saw the Lebanon has Bla attack

159
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 4: on our marines, two hundred plus marines attack there embassies

160
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 4: in Argentina. I mean we just met them recently, the

161
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 4: Hoofis and the Red Sea again October seventh, where Americans

162
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: lost their lives, dozens of hostages.

163
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 5: Taken over the years.

164
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 4: You know, it's incredible to watch because I know the

165
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: world was up in arms and actually united around stopping ISIS.

166
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 5: The Islamic State.

167
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: ISIS at its peak had about eighty thousand fighters. The

168
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 4: real Islamic State is this regime with hundreds and thousands

169
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 4: of operatives where they are exporting their fight or their

170
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 4: jihad throughout the Middle East.

171
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 5: Look at p.

172
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 4: Charlesad's regime in Syria where they had rain until more recently,

173
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 4: Look at Hesbola in Lebanon. You look at Iraq, the

174
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 4: insurgencies there. We gifted the Iraq to the Iran regime

175
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 4: on a silver platter, after we gave our blood and

176
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 4: treasure in Iraq, all of these insurgencies, all of these

177
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 4: terrorist attacks that again affected Americans and we lost American

178
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: lives were orchestrated by Iran's regime.

179
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: So let's take on a few of the toughest questions

180
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: that people who understand Trump's actions have taken.

181
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: Let's take them on in order.

182
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: The first one is that this is some sort of

183
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: a war for Israel. Israel obviously a big beneficiary from here,

184
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: but a lot of people blessed it, Saudi Arabia's blessed it.

185
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: What do you think is the proper response to that.

186
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, you made the best points.

187
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 4: Well, just because it will benefit Israel, it doesn't negate

188
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 4: the fact that it also will benefit us. Now we're

189
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 4: looking at the Gulf prison Golf Arab states that are

190
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: all in favor of this war. We're watching the Europeans,

191
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 4: who are dragging their feet also pivot to.

192
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 5: Favor this war.

193
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 4: Anyone who understands what is happening and what power this

194
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 4: regime could have if we continue to give them cash

195
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 4: like we saw on the Biden and Obama eras, or

196
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 4: we continue to look the other way when we know

197
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 4: that their centrifuges are spinning, is doing a disservice to

198
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 4: the entire global community, not just Israel and the United States.

199
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 4: We are lucky, in fact that Israel in the United States,

200
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 4: two of the most capable militaries, have decided to tackle

201
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 4: this challenge for all of us and for generations to come.

202
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: Okay, the next one that's an important challenge is that

203
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: Trump is just not supposed to start any new wars

204
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: under any circumstances. And I am sympathetic to this because

205
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: I think he wants that branding as a peace president,

206
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: as someone who makes the world a more peaceful place

207
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: and who brings Americans home. I feel like there's any

208
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: answer to this, which is we've just got to get

209
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: out quick. We got to make this a quick thing.

210
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: But how do you react to that.

211
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 5: There's a few things.

212
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 4: Yes, he does want that, but another thing he wants

213
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 4: is no wors for future generations and for decades to come.

214
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 4: So by sweeping this challenge under the rug, how is

215
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 4: he making the world a more peaceful place, or creating

216
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 4: more of national security for us, or making the Middle

217
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 4: East more stable? He saw an opportunity and by fighting

218
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 4: this one campaign, he will in fact end the wars

219
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 4: in the Middle East. If you want if you are

220
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 4: a proponent of American presence being diminished in the Middle East,

221
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: this is the war to tackle. This is what we

222
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 4: should have done. And in the aftermath of nine to eleven,

223
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 4: as a matter of fact, we are actually lated to

224
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 4: this war. And I think it's an opportune moment. I

225
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 4: give Donald Trump so much credit because he is an

226
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 4: anti war president that he saw this as an opportunity

227
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 4: to end future wars, and he is risking his polling,

228
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 4: his reputation. As you said, he campaigned on this, so

229
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 4: this is something that goes against what he believes in.

230
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 4: But he drew a red line because he knew again

231
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 4: knew that this is something that could not be tolerated.

232
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 4: The fact that thirty forty thousand Iranian protesters were killed, Yes,

233
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 4: this is a fight for them, but it is also

234
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 4: a fight for us. We have watched decades of terrorism

235
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 4: and more of this jihadi brand being exported into our hemisphere.

236
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 4: Just at the footbed of the United States. We just

237
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: took out Maduro in Venezuela. The Iran regime has presence

238
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: many more South American and Central American countries because they

239
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 4: want to have a presence in our hemisphere. This threat

240
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 4: is only growing, and I think Donald Trump did the

241
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 4: right thing by pivoting from what he campaigned on, what

242
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 4: he believes on what he believes in in order to

243
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: again protect us and our our again our hemisphere and

244
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 4: our borders as well, because we know that there is

245
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 4: that threats too.

246
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 3: Okay.

247
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: And so then the next thing that I think is

248
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: really important is that we were told that we had

249
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: decimated Iron's nuclear capabilities. And again I don't make a

250
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: habit of taking Trump literally, Andy.

251
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had done. We did so much, it was over.

252
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: So does that mean they could not have started enriching

253
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: again after we had left?

254
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: But this is it, this is it feels like a

255
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: big dunk. Yeah, go ahead.

256
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 4: No, So we we we severely diminished, We did not detimate.

257
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 4: And that's that's really the important part to remember it here.

258
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 4: The next day they were back at it. And that's

259
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 4: really the option that he would have had, depending on

260
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 4: who would come in office next, we could have another

261
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 4: ping ponging, and that's what we have had. Republicans and

262
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 4: Democrats have had a Goldilock's policy back and forth on Iran,

263
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 4: bomb Iran or let Iran get the bomb. Very Dovefish,

264
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 4: very hawkish. Both were wrong.

265
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 5: It was the third option that led the way, and

266
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 5: that's the Iranian people.

267
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 4: Partnering with the United States. Now we militarily with Israel,

268
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 4: will lead up to regime collapse. We're not in the

269
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 4: business of regime change. And Donald Trump said that very

270
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 4: clearly to the Iranian people in the first hours of

271
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 4: the war. We will lead up to regime collapse. After that,

272
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 4: we passed the baton to the Iranian people who will

273
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 4: then deal with the future of Iran the way that

274
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 4: they want in terms of regime change, who they whatever

275
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 4: they see fit. In terms of nation building, that's not

276
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,599
Speaker 4: for us to worry about. And I think that that partnering,

277
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 4: that third option is what it will take. And he

278
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 4: saw again this opportune moment to bring that to life.

279
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: All right, So the next thing is what comes next?

280
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: What do we think of the possibilities here? Because the

281
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: Eye Toolls are trying to install someone else, maybe a

282
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: relative of the Eye toll is. Who knows if they're

283
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: be able to pull that off. It's again, Israel is

284
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: going to try to drop a bomb on them. The

285
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: second there is a new Supreme leader that's announced in

286
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: public so it's complicated stuff. But what do we think

287
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: of the various options and do you have a hope

288
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: of what could emerge?

289
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 4: Right, So, reform is not an option for the Iranian people.

290
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: They have made it clear that there has to be

291
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 4: regime changed, so there can't be a leader that emerges

292
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 4: from this government.

293
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 5: The whole apparatus has to be collapsed.

294
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 4: So then the question remains who's going to be the

295
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 4: next leader The Iranian people again very clearly, they want

296
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 4: secularism away from this theocracy and they want democracy. Of course,

297
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 4: they're only fighting for freedom and thousands and thousands have

298
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 4: given up their lives. The question then becomes who will

299
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 4: lead them into that next chapter. Well, Reza Palavi is

300
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 4: the son of the Shaw, the Late Shaw of Iran.

301
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 4: He lives in exile. He has lived in the outskirts

302
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 4: of Washington, d C. Now for years. He has made

303
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 4: himself known. He has met with Donald Trump, he has

304
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 4: met with Wit Coffee, has met with Jared Kushner. I've

305
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 4: had the opportunity to interview him a handful of times

306
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 4: as well.

307
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 5: He has a vision.

308
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 4: He has worked with his team on a prosperity plan

309
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 4: for the day after this deals with plans for the economy,

310
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 4: for society, for culture, for politics to set up. He

311
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 4: only sees himself as a transitional leader to set up

312
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 4: free elections.

313
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 5: At that point, the.

314
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 4: Iranian people can choose the leader of their choice and

315
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 4: the governing style of their choice. Do they want a republic,

316
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 4: do they want a monarchy?

317
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 5: Whatever that may be.

318
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 4: So he's been clear about that. He's met with dignitaries

319
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 4: around the world to present his idea, his vision, his plan.

320
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 4: I mean, this is something that the Iranian people are

321
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 4: asking for. His name is the only name that we're

322
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 4: hearing on the streets, and the slogans they're they're writing

323
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 4: his names on the wall and graffiti. Uh, they're asking

324
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 4: for him. And you know, with again the slogans, the songs,

325
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 4: they're tattooing his name on their arms. I mean, it's

326
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 4: it's it's I'm seeing a huge push to to bring

327
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 4: him back to Irana. They see him as the only

328
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 4: capable and organic leader to lead them into a better future.

329
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: That sounds really far fetched. Where do you think President

330
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: Trump is out on that.

331
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 5: I don't think it's far fetched.

332
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 4: I think it's somebody who understands American policy. It's somebody

333
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 4: who would be a friendly ally to the United States

334
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 4: and to Israel. I think he is somebody who understands capitalism,

335
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 4: he understands democracy. He has met with Donald Trump. I

336
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 4: don't think it's too far fetched. I don't think Donald

337
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 4: Trump is really showing his cards yet.

338
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: Just like you said, you know, if you you like

339
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: Trump is not if it feels like he would have

340
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: embraced that by now, if he was convinced, that's I guess.

341
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 5: He has met with him. I don't think he would

342
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 5: want to put a tar on his head either, I would.

343
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 4: You know, Donald Trump is not you know, he speaks

344
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 4: in multiple ways, leaving options on the table, which I

345
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 4: appreciate very much.

346
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 5: When it comes to foreign policy.

347
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 4: I don't think our adversaries need to know exactly what

348
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 4: will happen, but they know what the options are. And

349
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 4: I do think that Rezapalavi is one option, and it's

350
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 4: the one that the Iranian people are embracing the majority

351
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 4: of ninety million people, and they've been embracing this for

352
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 4: many years.

353
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 5: I want to.

354
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 4: Explain to people just the concept of Patlavism which we

355
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 4: talk about, which is this romanticizing of the seventies the

356
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 4: people who are out on the streets. The majority of

357
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 4: them actually were born after the revolution, so like myself,

358
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: I'm an Iranian American.

359
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 5: They have grown up on these stories just like.

360
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 4: I have, of their parents and grandparents, romanticizing a free

361
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 4: Iran where they used to live like Tehran was like

362
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 4: the Paris of the Middle East. Right, women dress the

363
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 4: way that they wanted to, they had the jobs that

364
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 4: they wanted to. You could walk down the street with

365
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 4: your boyfriend, you could wear what you want, you could

366
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 4: say what you want.

367
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 5: You can live freely.

368
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 4: Is this romanticizing of that period with these young people

369
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 4: again who have only known this government. They're listening to

370
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 4: the music of the seventies, They're holding up the picture

371
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 4: of the Late Shaw of Iran, and really there is

372
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 4: this nostalgia or a phone nostalgia, because they.

373
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 3: It's a phone nostalgia. This is where I was going

374
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 3: to go next. Speak.

375
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: It's funny because I see the clips and I love

376
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: the clips, and so I did a pretty deep dive

377
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 1: in Iranian history, and I got to tell you Iran

378
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: pre the revolution, even though the revolution, of course is

379
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: a disaster for the whole world, but it was pre revolution.

380
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it was quite as great as the

381
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: cool clips on x.

382
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 4: It really, you know, I lived through those stories through

383
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 4: my parents and my grandparents, and when I.

384
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 5: See the clips of the show of Iran leaving Iran,

385
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 5: I start to.

386
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 4: Tear up because I feel as though, you know, it's

387
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 4: part of me, it's part of my DNA. I didn't

388
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 4: live through it, but I feel as though I share

389
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 4: in that history.

390
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,479
Speaker 5: And I feel like a lot of young people in

391
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 5: Iran have those.

392
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 4: Dinner table conversations with their parents and say, how did

393
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 4: you let this country go?

394
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 5: How did you do this to us?

395
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 4: So they do feel as though they move backwards, but

396
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 4: there's so much more to obtain, to build upon that

397
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 4: path levism, to build upon the seventies, what you know,

398
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 4: up until they lost the country in seventy nine, and

399
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 4: to build upon that and to move forward into you know,

400
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 4: more prosperity, a new Middle East. And now we're watching

401
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 4: the Gulf Arab states support them and all pivot. Imagine

402
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 4: a Middle East where they are all part of the

403
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 4: Abraham Accords, they're all working together with the United States

404
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 4: and Europe and Israel, and you know, it's it's it's

405
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 4: commerce over chaos, it's prosperity over anything else. And I

406
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 4: think it's it's it's the dawn of a new day

407
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 4: and we feel it.

408
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 5: It's this is a very ugly war. It will only

409
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 5: get uglier.

410
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 4: But there's also a sense of optimism that I have

411
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 4: never seen before for the Iranian people and for so

412
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 4: many others in the Middle East today.

413
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 3: It's the You speak about it, you get me excited.

414
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: But I just have to say, I don't know what

415
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: Raza Palavi has been up to lately to make me

416
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: feel confident that Donald Trump's gonna fire.

417
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 5: Him, you know him.

418
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 4: I've actually I've had a chance to sit down with him.

419
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 4: I interviewed him, I interviewed his wife. More recently, I've

420
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 4: interviewed his daughter. They have dedicated themselves for many, many

421
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 4: years now to being the custodial guardians of a thousands

422
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,239
Speaker 4: of years civilization that the Iranian people are craving, and

423
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 4: they see him as someone they can trust. They see

424
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 4: him as someone who could bring back and build upon that,

425
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 4: and you know, people from inside Iran will will join.

426
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 5: Efforts with him. That's the thing right now.

427
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 4: If there is somebody in Iran who can be and

428
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 4: has the potential to be their next feature leader who's

429
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 4: democratic and secular and free and wants all those things.

430
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 4: That person is either in prison as a political prisoner,

431
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 4: or that person cannot identify him or herself for fear

432
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 4: of having a target on their head. So, as I'm saying,

433
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 4: so many people are asking for Rezaphalavi. The greatest minds, professors,

434
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 4: people that I've interviewed for years now are part my

435
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 4: rolodex are all asking for Rezapalaiti.

436
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 5: They see him as the natural choice forward.

437
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: And I think the States, how much time does he

438
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: spend in Iran? It seems like he's here most of

439
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: the time.

440
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 4: How can you go back to Iran? They would take

441
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 4: his life in a moment, just like mine. I mean,

442
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 4: there's death threats against him and his family, just like

443
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 4: their death threats against me and other people who are

444
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 4: in this.

445
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 5: Line of work here on American soil.

446
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 4: So you can imagine it's not a safer friendly place

447
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 4: for him to visit.

448
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 5: But he has dedicated this is what he does.

449
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 4: This is his full time job, is developing that relationship

450
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 4: with the people of Iran, speaking directly to camera to

451
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 4: them and maintaining that and him and his team, like

452
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 4: I said, they do conferences, they put on you know, briefings,

453
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 4: and they have put together a comprehensive plan. You know,

454
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 4: let the best man or women win. That's what he

455
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 4: has always said. He even says to his opponents, I

456
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 4: want to create an Iran in which you, my opponent,

457
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 4: can come and vote against me, meaning he's not looking

458
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 4: to grab power, but more so to pave the way

459
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 4: for the Iranians to create their own nation, to nation build.

460
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 5: On their own.

461
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: Do you feel like the RGC or whatever will be

462
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: the military in the next iteration of Iran. Do you

463
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: think they would ever support a Palabi.

464
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 4: No one from this regime can remain. No one from

465
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 4: this regime can remain so unless they defect, and there's

466
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 4: ample evidence to show that that person is truly defecting.

467
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 4: There is no way that anyone from this regime would

468
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 4: even accept the next government or a free Iran, or

469
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 4: allow people to walk freely without hijab, or you know,

470
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 4: Iran is run.

471
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 5: I want people to truly understand what's going on here.

472
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 4: You in the beginning said something very interesting about how

473
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 4: Iran is such a unique case for many reasons. The

474
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 4: fact that they're supporting so much terrorism, I want to

475
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 4: add one other reason why Iran is so unique is

476
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 4: that it's ninety million people, the majority of whom are

477
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 4: not religious, don't want to wear hair covering, do not

478
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 4: support the government. It's as if they're being held hostage

479
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 4: by their own government. It's as if Isis would become

480
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 4: the government of America. I want people to really envision

481
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 4: what this is like for them day in and day out.

482
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 4: And then they're being ruled by Sharia law. So a

483
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 4: nine year old can be married to her uncle. And

484
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 4: you know, if you're caught in a car a male

485
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 4: and a female who are unmarried, or caught in the

486
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 4: car like police pull them over, they can be taken

487
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 4: in by morality police. We just saw a twenty two

488
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 4: year old Kurdish Iranian women be beaten to death.

489
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 5: Because a bit of her hair was showing. This is

490
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 5: just a couple of.

491
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 4: Years ago we saw those massa Amini the woman life

492
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 4: freedom protests. So when you paint that picture, you understand

493
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 4: why nobody from the old Guard can be part of

494
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 4: this new government. They want nothing to do with these

495
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 4: people who are holding them hostage.

496
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 3: At the moment, this is all, it's all great.

497
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: You such great information and insight, and at least I'd

498
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: love to do this again. So I don't want to

499
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 1: go over you you promise me that certain amount of time.

500
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 3: I don't want to see that too far.

501
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: But it is interesting because I want to see the

502
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: people of Iron get something like a democracy. But the

503
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: military and the people ultimately hopefully have got to align

504
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: some way, and that seems like the big challenge for

505
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 1: the Iranian people.

506
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 3: Respond to that as.

507
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 4: The last word, Yeah, you know what already, what we're

508
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 4: watching right now is magical.

509
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 5: For the Iranian people.

510
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 4: They never thought they would see the day and Donald

511
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 4: Trump and bebing A Taniawa really gifted them that gift

512
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 4: of optimism that they haven't had in five decades. So

513
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 4: they were begging for another thing that people who don't

514
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 4: understand imagine being so desperate that you were begging for

515
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 4: foreign intervention. You were begging for a military intervention on

516
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 4: your own soil.

517
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 5: They got that. So from here on out, I do expect.

518
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 4: To see magical things from the Iranian people as well.

519
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 4: They you know, up to now, I mean, they're trying

520
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 4: to be patient to see how how far the military

521
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 4: degradation will go, how far the regime collapse will go

522
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 4: and the run, and people have been so incredibly brave

523
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 4: to send their children out onto the streets to die

524
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 4: in the name of freedom. They're peaceful, they are freedom loving,

525
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 4: and that's all they want is a better future ahead

526
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 4: for themselves. It'll be a better future for the Middle East,

527
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 4: and of course I think the global community will benefit

528
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 4: in many many ways to have a stable, secure Middle

529
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 4: East without terrorism.

530
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: Lisa Daftari, real pleasure to talk to you. The Foreign

531
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: Desk is your website. You also are on Fox News

532
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: quite a bit with your commentary, both in terms of

533
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: TV and written and let's do this again soon.

534
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 3: Really appreciate the time a lot of.

535
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: People are starting to ask basic questions right now, can

536
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: you still trust the institutions that hold your money. We

537
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: talk all the time about debanking, about people and organizations

538
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: quietly losing access to financial services simply because of who

539
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: they are and what they believe. That's one of the

540
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: reasons I've partnered with three sixteen Financial. It's an online

541
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: bank creative for people who want their banking institutions to

542
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: align with their values, especially at a time when trust

543
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 1: in major financial systems is eroding. One thing I genuinely

544
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: respect for their model is this They commit ten percent

545
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: of their profits back to values based organizations. It's not

546
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: a gimmick for them, it's how they're structured from a

547
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: practical standpoint. This is also a bank delivers everything you want,

548
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: no monthly fees, free ATM access nationwide, and super competitive

549
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: interest rates across their accounts. Right now, when you open

550
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: a three sixteen Financial savings account and maintain an average

551
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: balance of five thousand dollars for ninety days, they'll add

552
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,199

563
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: want to talk to you and again it is not

564
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: a sponsored thing. I wanted to talk to you. I

565
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: reached out to your people and said, you're going to

566
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: know what's going on from the vantage point of Israel,

567
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: our friends and allies in the region in what is

568
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: potentially a historic moment but also a very scary one

569
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: for the time being. Speak to me about life day

570
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: to day. I want to go big picture. I want

571
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: to talk politics. I want to talk to you of politics,

572
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: but let's start with what's the life for your family

573
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: right now? Where are you exactly? Share that with the

574
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: audience and how's it going.

575
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 6: Thank you so much, Alex. First of all, thank you

576
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 6: for continuing to always spread truth and spread this message

577
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 6: that so many public figures are scared to talk about.

578
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 7: That you are a beacon of hope.

579
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 6: I think for everyone who sanctifies life and believes in

580
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 6: the free world.

581
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 7: So day to day life here is very difficult.

582
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 6: Just around an hour ago, I was in my bomb

583
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 6: shelter with ballistic missiles literally exploding overhead.

584
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 7: Four children.

585
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 6: My oldest is nineteen year old, my daughter, she's in

586
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 6: the army and she's stationed protecting the boarder with the

587
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 6: Gaza strip and my youngest is ten years old, and

588
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 6: so it's going in and out of the bomb shelters.

589
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 6: Is trying to explain to them both that there are

590
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 6: real risks and real dangers and we have to protect

591
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 6: ourselves and find shelter and always know where the closest

592
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 6: bomb shelter is and wait until the rockets land until

593
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 6: we can come out of the bomb shelter, which sometimes

594
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 6: could be an hour or more, but also explaining that

595
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 6: this is the most this is the safest place to be.

596
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 6: I truly believe it. We have a Guardian of Israel

597
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 6: who neither slumbers nor sleeps. We have millions of people

598
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 6: around the world who are praying for us, and we

599
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 6: are facing these hard days in order to ensure a

600
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 6: safer future for our children and grandchildren in America in Israel.

601
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 7: So yeah, the days are.

602
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 6: Hard, the nights are hard, and we haven't slept in

603
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 6: around a week. Of course, I'm also overseeing all the

604
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 6: Fellowship projects that we're on the ground and putting ourselves

605
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 6: in danger in order to help others and our volunteers.

606
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 6: But there's also sirens all night that we're woken up

607
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 6: and have to run to the bomb shelter. So the emotional.

608
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 6: The physical toll is real, but this spiritual strength is

609
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 6: also just as appointment.

610
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: Do you ever do you get accustomed to such things,

611
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: because for me that would be very alarming. We to

612
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: just a couple of you know, fire scarers in my

613
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: neck of the woods, and it's very weird to have

614
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: that experience to test yourself. We're packing stuff up and thinking,

615
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: who knows what's going to happen, what are the moves?

616
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: Kind of chaos it's going to but it is sort

617
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: of a part of day to day life where you are,

618
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,719
Speaker 1: so what is that life for your family?

619
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 6: So it's interesting because on one hand you get used

620
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 6: to certain things now on the other hand, you don't,

621
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 6: and the reality changes. The rockets from the Gaza strip

622
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 6: from Ramas that they were launching rockets that is real

623
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 6: for the past fifteen years, are very different rockets than

624
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 6: the Iranian rockets that are being launched right now. That

625
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 6: one rocket from Iran could take down six buildings. And

626
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 6: so even though we've been kind of in a state

627
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 6: of war, especially since October seventh, it definitely feels different

628
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 6: now with Iran and Hasbala both launching rockets at Israel together.

629
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 6: Just today we had Rasbala in northern Israel launching rockets

630
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 6: at the exact same time, coordinated as Iran was launching rockets.

631
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 6: And Israel is the size of New Jersey, and so

632
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 6: when you're getting rockets launched at you from so many

633
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 6: different fronts, you feel it everywhere. So the other night,

634
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 6: my son, my baby, my ten year old, who has

635
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 6: wanted to sleep in bed with me and my husband,

636
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 6: and of course we let him. He was waking up

637
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 6: all night hearing sirens, like phantom sirens, even when there

638
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 6: wasn't And at one point he woke up and looked

639
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 6: at me and said, Mommy, are we going to die tonight?

640
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 6: And I said, no, my love, We're not going to die.

641
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 6: We're going to go for the bomb shelter and everything's

642
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 6: going to be okay. So I would say it's both

643
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 6: the fear but also the resilience that you see in

644
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 6: the children and the adults.

645
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's something where it provided you survival, of course,

646
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: but that is a great benefit because it just it

647
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: feels like, you know, being in the United States, it

648
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: just does feel like one of our major problems is

649
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: how soft we're getting, and you guys aren't really allowed

650
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: to and I think that that's very very interesting. But

651
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: the are you encouraged thus far about how the air

652
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: raids have gone on Iran? And let's start with let's

653
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: go back historically speaking, because Iran was the closest country

654
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: in the world to adding nuclear weapons, and people don't

655
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: understand that they would immediately become the most likely to

656
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: use them once they have them, and then if they

657
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: got them, then I think every other non nuclear armed

658
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: country would want them in case they had to go

659
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: to nuclear war with Iran involved.

660
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 3: And we're very casual about this. We talk a lot.

661
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: About other threats that occur to us that are not

662
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: nearly as I think devastating as a nuclear holocaust initiated

663
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: by Iran, which was a real thing, and I think

664
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: that we just got very accustomed to acting like that's

665
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: not real.

666
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 3: It was absolutely real.

667
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: And I just find that historical contacts really important.

668
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 3: But I wanted to give you a chance to speak

669
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 3: to that.

670
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, thank you so much. There's so much there in

671
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 6: what you're saying, Alex. And we could also go back

672
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 6: to before the nineteen seventy nine revolution, where Iran was free,

673
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 6: where women could wear whatever they wanted, where it was

674
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 6: a place that was educated on the forefront of technology

675
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 6: and had freedom, and so we're not dealing with a

676
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 6: country that's always been oppress and run by Islamis.

677
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 7: The people want freedom.

678
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 6: The people, and that's why it's so important to realize

679
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:48,719
Speaker 6: also that both America and Israel are very, very insistent

680
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 6: that this war is not against Iran. It's not against

681
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 6: the Iranian people. It's against the Islamis who are keeping

682
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 6: the Iranian people oppressed and holding them hostage as well.

683
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 6: What you said is so powerful because the truth is,

684
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 6: it's something that changed in Israel after October seventh, and

685
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 6: I pray, pray, pray that America will never again experience

686
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 6: something like nine to eleven. And October seventh was like

687
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 6: in Israel, per capita was like forty nine times nine

688
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 6: to eleven. And so what before before October seventh, when

689
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 6: we had thousands of terrorists from the Gaza Strip come

690
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 6: into Israel, kill children, kidnap children, kidnap elderly, murder one

691
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 6: thy two hundred people, and they would have done more

692
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 6: if they weren't stopped before that, what we said was, okay,

693
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 6: people are the terrorists are enemies. They can say whatever

694
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 6: they want they say death to Israel, We're going to

695
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 6: wipe you out. Okay, as long as they're not actively

696
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 6: attacking us, will we'll let it go. And that's what

697
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 6: was happening with Iran. After October seventh. What Israel realized

698
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 6: was you have to listen when the evil leaders speak

699
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 6: and have the military ability to carry out their words.

700
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 6: You need to listen to what they're saying. And I

701
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 6: ran with saying death to Israel and death to America.

702
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 6: I ran with burning American flags in their parliament. And

703
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 6: so what we're seeing now is they're attacking American bases everywhere,

704
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 6: they're attacking Europe, they're attacking Arab countries. That what we're

705
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 6: seeing now is the mask is coming off. Imagine if

706
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 6: they had nuclear weapons, we don't even have to imagine anymore,

707
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 6: they would be doing this what they're doing now, but

708
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,959
Speaker 6: nuclear weapons, right.

709
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: So, I want to get your thoughts on the nature

710
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: of the current raid. And it feels like the messes

711
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: that we're getting from the Trump administration is that they're

712
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule. We have lost some American service members,

713
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: and this is not one where it was ever going

714
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: to be as clean as would have with Maduro or

715
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 1: Operation the previous operations take out Solamani and the Operation

716
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: Midnight Hammer, which were just completely clean as a whistle.

717
00:34:59,480 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 3: All.

718
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: That's really amazing that that stuff happened, But there was

719
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: never gonna be the case. It's much more complicated, much

720
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: more robust. But from your vantage point, are you encouraged

721
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: by the progress so far or do you feel like

722
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: a ron's ability to retalerate in their proxy's ability to

723
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: retaliate makes life more and.

724
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 3: Secure for you.

725
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 6: Well, I see this as a spiritual war, and so

726
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 6: there's the politics, and there's what we're seeing on the

727
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 6: ground as far as the missiles, and in a way

728
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 6: we're seeing also that I Ran really was a paper

729
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 6: tiger as far as they spoke big, they were trying

730
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 6: to scare them and bully the whole world. But the

731
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 6: truth is there's no army that's greater, stronger, more effective

732
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 6: than the American army. And with the Israel Army, I mean,

733
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 6: that's just I think they're achieving all goals and more

734
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 6: in time frame they couldn't have even imagined. But I

735
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 6: look at that through spiritual eyes because I really believe, Alex,

736
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 6: I've lived here in Israel for twenty years. My oldest daughter,

737
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 6: like I said, is in the army stand on the

738
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 6: border defending this land. I've almost been in terror attacks

739
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 6: very close. I've lost loved ones and friends to terror.

740
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 6: It's a hard price to pay, but I've always believed,

741
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 6: and we're seeing it now that light always outshines the darkness,

742
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 6: and good always wins. And so when I see what's

743
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 6: happening between Israel and America and coming together in this

744
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 6: biblical view of hine matovuman nam scheveta riimgamiachrad, how good

745
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 6: and pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in peace.

746
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 6: Israel and America are fighting this war for the future

747
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 6: of our children and grandchildren, that they'll be able to

748
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 6: live in peace. And so it's not surprising to me

749
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 6: that God is blessing it, that we are seeing huge success,

750
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 6: and every life lost is a tragedy. And the American

751
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 6: people know better than anyone. Freedom is not free. And

752
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 6: you're heroic servicemen and women. There was a woman who

753
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 6: was killed, who have put themselves in harms way in

754
00:36:58,320 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 6: order to make.

755
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 7: Sure that we enjoy a better world.

756
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 6: I salute them, I honor them, and I think they

757
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 6: knew exactly what they were fighting for.

758
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like there's a point that I've

759
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: made quite a bit, but I think is important to

760
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: emphasize here, is that what is the alternative if Iran

761
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: keeps insisting on en Richmond, if they keep on insisting

762
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: on funding ballistic missile development, if they are completely not

763
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: only unreasonable to deal with the funding terry proxies in

764
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 1: the region, but they won't even tone down their rhetoric.

765
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 3: I mean, what are we supposed to do? Are we

766
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 3: supposed to do nothing?

767
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: Is that the I'm trying to get a sense of

768
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: the people who are very negative on this stuff, and

769
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm politically speaking, it's very complicated for President Trump,

770
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: it's republic it's for Republicans, It's very complicated on a

771
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: political level. But it was becoming increasingly clear that we

772
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: weren't going to be able to do nothing. And it

773
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: sounds like Israel's intelligence was just so fantastic that it

774
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: would have been a huge blown opportunity not to move

775
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: quickly and expeditiously. And it just seems like that's the

776
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: logic that we need to challenge others who are don't

777
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: see any of the wisdom in this, What did you

778
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: want to happen? Just to allow Ran too enrich and

779
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: just fund tear around the world forever.

780
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

781
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 7: Yeah.

782
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 6: Iran is the global finance and technology backer of terror

783
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 6: all around the world. They've killed many Americans and what

784
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 6: they're working towards is to kill more Americans. And they

785
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 6: said it outwardly, and so it's both freeing the Iranian

786
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 6: people but also keeping America safe, keeping Israel safe. The

787
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 6: threat was real, and we still, I believe, we still

788
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 6: have to be deep in prayer because just as quickly

789
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 6: as good can shine through the bad, and just as

790
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 6: quickly as this government could fall, and there could be

791
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 6: a new day for Iran where I imagine them being

792
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 6: part of the Abraham Accords and having free trade with

793
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 6: the Western world, and you know, Americans can freely go Iran,

794
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 6: and Israelis can go to Iran, and there'll be a

795
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 6: revival of faith that they choose and they're not forced upon.

796
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 6: I believe that it can happen in a second, but

797
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 6: as we all know, we could also miss this opportunity

798
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 6: that I believe that we're doing everything we can on

799
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 6: the physical front, and what we can do now is

800
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 6: also spiritual to pray, to help one another, to fill

801
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 6: the world with good deeds, and to make sure that

802
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 6: we are spreading the values that we believe in, not

803
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 6: just on a macro scale and relying on our government

804
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 6: to do it, but on a micro scale of each

805
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 6: one of us spreading goodness as well.

806
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's an important point.

807
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: And again, there are a lot of so that we

808
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,240
Speaker 1: can debate, but that stuff just seems pretty rock solid

809
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: to me. And don't be on one American political issue

810
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: before I get into some other topics more germane to

811
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: the specific news cycle. But our governor who's running for

812
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: president is was calling.

813
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 3: Israel and apartheid state.

814
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, This is a guy who benefited

815
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: from so much, so many Jewish voters, so many Jewish donors,

816
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: people supporting him over the years, and now he's got

817
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: one foot out at the door in California and he's

818
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: trying to run for national office, and now all of

819
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,959
Speaker 1: a sudden he says Israel's in apartheid state.

820
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 3: I want to get your reaction to that.

821
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 6: It leaves me speechless because we're living in a reality

822
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 6: where facts don't matter. The fact is Israel has seven

823
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 6: point five million Jews and over two point five million Arabs,

824
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 6: muslim Drews, Christians, Bedouins, who have full rights. They're able

825
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 6: to vote, they sit in the parliament, they have free

826
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 6: health care, free education, the exact same thing as me

827
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 6: and my children. The national language in Israel is not

828
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 6: only Hebrew, it's also Arabic. And it's so ironic that

829
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 6: Israel's being accused of this because you look in the

830
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 6: Arab world, Israel is zero point four percent of the

831
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 6: land mass of the entire Middle East. We are one

832
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 6: country surrounded by twenty one countries in the Arab Union.

833
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 6: We are seven point five million Jews surrounded by three

834
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 6: hundred million Muslims. And yet we have more Muslims in

835
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 6: Israel with full rights than there are Jews in the

836
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 6: entire Muslim world, in the entire Arab world. So the

837
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 6: fact that Israel's being called in apartheid, when when was

838
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 6: the last time we saw a Jewish person in Egypt?

839
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 6: And that has actually a very rich heritage and history

840
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 6: of Jewish communities in Syria, in Iraq. Israel stands for freedom.

841
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 6: We stand for democracy, not because of any code word

842
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 6: or cool slogan, but because those are the biblical values

843
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 6: that we believe in.

844
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: It also feels like the people who are there, who

845
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: are Arabs and Christians can leave and what if they

846
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 1: want to, and so it feels like they're not really

847
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: feeling a press or acting abreast.

848
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, Israel is the only country in the Middle East

849
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 6: where there's a growing Christian population if you don't include

850
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 6: the West Bank and Gaza, which isn't under Israel's rule.

851
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 6: In Bethlehem, it used to be eighty five percent Christian,

852
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 6: and Israel gave it over to the Palestinian authority in

853
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety five, and since then the Christian population has

854
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 6: just declined. That today's less than ten percent Christian in Bethlehem.

855
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 6: In Nazareth, though, it's the opposite trend. So Israel has freedom,

856
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 6: they can leave if they want. But I think every

857
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 6: single person who stays here wants to stay Jewish.

858
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do.

859
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 1: And it's just noteworthy because that point about Bethlehem is

860
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: so crucial and I made it on the show but

861
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: not recently, which is that we tried the experiment of

862
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: Bethlehem being run by Arabs and it went a lot worse.

863
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 3: And so we have that historical example, all right.

864
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: I want to come back to the Iaran war, and

865
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: so again is a spiritual battle. I agree with that,

866
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: and we're also already in it, which means that we

867
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: definitely need to I think, win and win quickly. I

868
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts before we learn to what

869
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: people can do to help if they want to support

870
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: your cause or they should IFCJ a ridiculously great group

871
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: for a million reasons, but give me your thoughts on

872
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: what are your hopes for the region, because again, the

873
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: ultimate goal is peace here. What is you think creates

874
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: the most longest standing peace.

875
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 5: Wow.

876
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 6: I believe with every cell in my body Yeshua Tashim

877
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 6: kharafing redemption from the Lord can come in the blink

878
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 6: of an eye, and we saw it. I look at

879
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 6: the Abraham Accords. People always said it would not be possible.

880
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 6: Israel can't have peace with these Arab countries. They would

881
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 6: never allow it. And meanwhile, it's even stayed strong through

882
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 6: the October seventh War from this war with Iran. The

883
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 6: Abraham Accords that President Trump led during his previous time

884
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 6: in office are still strong. And I believe that there

885
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 6: are more opportunities for the air world to join this

886
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 6: holy convenant of coming together in shared values, in strategic friendship.

887
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 6: And I can see Iran, this Islamist government falling and

888
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 6: the new government coming in. They've already said they would

889
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 6: want to join the Abraham Accords, and then you can

890
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 6: see Saudi Arabia coming and joining the Abraham Accords. I

891
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 6: believe that this is a domino effect. If Iran can

892
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 6: be transformed and freed, we will see the entire Middle

893
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 6: East being friends, partners and allies with America and Israel

894
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 6: and the new world order that the evil is trying

895
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 6: to form. And they were doing very, very good. They

896
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 6: were very strong up until recently. It will no longer

897
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 6: be a threat.

898
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

899
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: I think this is really a all crucial points of reflection,

900
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: and I think that when we're talking about the region,

901
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: I think one thing that is really noteworthy for me

902
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: is how Iran has no allies. They merely have proxies,

903
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 1: and there is attacking countries that we would have seen

904
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: as the bad guys. I align with Iran as recently

905
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: as I think ten years ago, maybe less maybe five

906
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: years ago, maybe five minutes ago, and then now we're

907
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: seeing them either saying we're staying out of this or

908
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: we're actually going to help Israel in America, which is

909
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: I think really important is that they only have proxies,

910
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 1: they don't actually have real allies, and even their most

911
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: powerful allies are trying to and Russia they're not doing anything.

912
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: They're just saying we don't like the attacks, and then

913
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: they're not lifting a finger to help, which shows you

914
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: that they're very weak allies in general, and also that

915
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: they don't want any part of crossing America in this

916
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: regard what America and Israel are serious about defeating the Iatolis.

917
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 3: So it's really really important.

918
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 1: So do you have a hope for what is next

919
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 1: for politics in Iran? Because again, it seems like, given

920
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:07,760
Speaker 1: the factionalization of the country, we are hoping that something

921
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: more democratic, more free is what emerges, but it feels

922
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: like we're a couple of steps away from that. It

923
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like there's a coherent opposition. It also doesn't

924
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 1: seem like there is cohesion amongst the IRGC, So I

925
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: don't know what their move are because ultimately the people

926
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: in the military need to align for there to be

927
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,479
Speaker 1: any sort of freedom, but we're not there yet.

928
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 3: So do you have any hopes or dreams.

929
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 6: I believe. So I was just yesterday with my friend

930
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 6: in Israel. Her name's Pantan. She's from Iran, and her

931
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 6: parents were there during the revolution, a Jewish family that

932
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 6: they had run with just the clothing on their back,

933
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 6: and they still speak Farsi in their family. They still

934
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 6: have family members in Iran. And we were reading the

935
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 6: Book of Esther together on the holiday of perm which

936
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 6: took place in ancient Persia, which is modern day Iran,

937
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 6: and she just kept saying, the people of Iran are

938
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,439
Speaker 6: going to free themselves. They're going to build something good

939
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 6: because they still remember what it was like to have freedom.

940
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 6: And so I don't know who it will be that

941
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 6: will lead them. I don't know who will be appointed,

942
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 6: as it says in the Book of Esther, for such

943
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 6: a time as this, But I believe that it's possible.

944
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 6: I believe we are on the brink of something new,

945
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,760
Speaker 6: a new light that will shine to the entire world.

946
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: All right, So let's talk about now what you need

947
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: and how your situation has changed, and what we can

948
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 1: do to support the cause that you lead.

949
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 3: The IFCJ.

950
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: What are you guys doing specifically right now that's different,

951
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 1: and what do we have to do to get involved

952
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: and make sure you guys are able to do your jobs.

953
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 6: Well, Thank you so much. I think there's been so

954
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 6: many things that have changed around the world in the

955
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 6: past two years, especially since October seventh. One is arise

956
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 6: and hatred towards Israel arise in hatred towards the Jewish

957
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 6: people physically attacks that we see all over the world,

958
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 6: but also this read of lies, this spiritual warfare that

959
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 6: feels like it's a fire burning out of control. And

960
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,240
Speaker 6: the truth is that there are millions, hundreds of millions

961
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 6: of Christians around the world who continue to read the scriptures,

962
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 6: read the News Testament and see that they're grafted onto

963
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 6: the rich olive tree of Israel. Read the Old Testament

964
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 6: and see that they are commanded to bless the Jewish

965
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 6: people and Israel, and they'll be blessed in returned because

966
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 6: they are part of that rich tree. And I call

967
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 6: that the silenced majority. And so what the International Fellowship

968
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 6: of Christians and Jews does on the ground in Israel

969
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 6: is we are that voice of the Christians around the

970
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 6: world who are saying, I do not hate the Jewish people,

971
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 6: I will not target Israel. I will pray for the

972
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 6: peace of Jerusalem. And just that message alone is so

973
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 6: powerful when Israel and the people here feel so alone,

974
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 6: so isolated, so hated. And the second thing is that

975
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 6: the needs are real. We need bomb shelters, we need

976
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 6: food being delivered to bomb shelters. Have elderly Holocaust survivors

977
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 6: who have been living in bomb shelters for a week

978
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 6: now and they're sleeping on the floor. And so the

979
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 6: Fellowship is the humanitarian first responders of Israel during times

980
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 6: of crisis. We look in the scriptures and we feed

981
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 6: the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the poor. We look

982
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 6: where it says Nat comfort my people, and we place

983
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 6: bomb shelters. In fact, just yesterday we placed bomb shelters

984
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 6: across Israel.

985
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 3: And within that, how do you do that? I mean,

986
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 3: you're just logistics of it are fascinating. How do you

987
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 3: actually create question?

988
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 6: So, there are a few different kinds of shelters. There's

989
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:36,280
Speaker 6: kind of shelter that is built into a building. For example,

990
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 6: in hospitals, the Fellowship has built underground hospital units that

991
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 6: are sheltered surgical units. Some of the strategic areas where

992
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 6: they still need to operate under rocket attack and can't

993
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 6: move the patient to a bomb shelter each time. So

994
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 6: the Fellowship has actually helped build underground hospitals where they

995
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,280
Speaker 6: could continue operating even as rockets are falling above ground.

996
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 6: Then there's another kind of shelter that it's connected. For example,

997
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,240
Speaker 6: thank God, I'm so lucky, I have a bomb shelter

998
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 6: connected to my house. It's a room that's reinforced with concrete,

999
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 6: has special windows and special doors made of steel. And

1000
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 6: then there's a third kind, which we call a mobile shelter,

1001
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 6: and that's what the Fellowship. We've placed thousands across Israel

1002
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 6: and are placing more every single day. Where they're made

1003
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 6: in a factory. Actually it's enforced concrete. It's around a

1004
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 6: twenty meter room that is according to the standards of

1005
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 6: the Home Front Command that they could withstand impact and shrapnel.

1006
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 6: And so they're made in a factory and then we

1007
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 6: put them on the back of a truck and we

1008
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 6: can bring them wherever they need to go. We have

1009
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 6: a huge crane, a special crane that lifts them up

1010
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 6: and places them down, and we work with yeah, the

1011
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 6: Home Front of Israel to determine what are the most

1012
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 6: at risk locations, so we place them right now, We're

1013
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 6: placing them at every single bus stop for children so

1014
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 6: that when they're waiting for a bus and sirens.

1015
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 3: Out place to go, Wow, that's amazing. What do you

1016
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,360
Speaker 3: do in there? Does it get boring? Well?

1017
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 6: So, in my bomb shelter, it's the only place in

1018
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 6: our house that we have a TV because we want

1019
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 6: to make it as not traumatizing for our children as possible.

1020
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 6: So we have a PlayStation that we just got my

1021
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:16,839
Speaker 6: son for his birthday, but really is because of the war,

1022
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 6: and he'll whenever in the shelter, he's able to PlayStation,

1023
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 6: and we have water and canned foods and all different

1024
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 6: things that we need in case we have to stay

1025
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 6: in there for a long time. And you could still

1026
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 6: hear the booms, you can still feel the shaking, so

1027
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 6: it still is very scary and it could be very boring.

1028
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 6: But I think anyone who finds themselves in a shelter

1029
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 6: while the sirens are blaring and the rockets are exploding

1030
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 6: find themselves very very very blessed and lucky to have

1031
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 6: that protection.

1032
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah.

1033
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: Yel eck Stein, amazing stuff, great commentary and great cause

1034
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: that you're fighting for again, give some people call to action.

1035
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 3: What can they do in my audience, they want to.

1036
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 7: Get involved, Thank you so much. The first thing is

1037
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:00,240
Speaker 7: to prey.

1038
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 6: We feel you covering us in prayers and I believe

1039
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 6: that makes such a difference as far as safety and protection.

1040
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 7: So thank you for your prayers.

1041
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 6: And the second thing is that you can get involved

1042
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 6: right now and deliver food to elderly Holocaust survivors in

1043
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 6: bomb shelters. You can provide baby formula to babies right

1044
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 6: now who their parents aren't able to go out to

1045
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 6: the store and get it. They're poor, they're living in

1046
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 6: bomb shelters. We're on the ground in every single city

1047
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 6: across is Reel. In fact, one of our soup kitchens

1048
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 6: was hit by a rocket and within twenty four hours

1049
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 6: it was up and distributing meals to the city. So

1050
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 6: whatever you're able to do twenty five dollars, fifty dollars,

1051
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 6: one hundred dollars, it goes directly to feeding the hungry,

1052
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 6: clothing the naked, sheltering the poor, and letting the people

1053
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 6: in Israel know that they're not alone.

1054
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: Amazing, great stuff and very clearly articulated, which I appreciate

1055
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: as well. IFCJ dot org urgent, IFCJ dot org, what else?

00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 6: IFCJ dot org is the place to go. And of
