Give them kind of a feel of 40 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 2: your what geographically where your district is. 41 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 3: Well, it's Scott's stuff. You think of Scottsdale, it's Scottsdale. 42 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 3: It's Fountain Hills, It's Paradise Valley, a little bit of Phoenix. 43 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 3: It's that area of kind of North Phoenix. It's a 44 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 3: very affluent district that cares about the economy. You know, 45 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 3: they over fifty percent of the people in that district 46 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 3: have a college degree or more than a BA. Vast 47 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 3: majority are employed by private companies, and they care dramatically 48 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 3: about the economy and where the economy is going. I 49 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 3: think if you look at what President Trump is doing, 50 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 3: just the numbers that have come out recently, they're gonna 51 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 3: love that. Over four percent GDP, almost two and a 52 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 3: half percent inflation, bringing down inflation, continuing to get jobs, 53 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 3: investment into our country. 54 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: You know, you go back and you look. 55 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 3: In the in the eighties, you know, we had positive 56 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: net investment in other countries and at minus one trillion, 57 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 3: Warren Buffett said it was unsustainable. You know, in twenty 58 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 3: twenty four, we had minus twenty six trillion in investment 59 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: into our country versus out of our country, and no 60 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 3: one talked about it. And President Trump is doing the 61 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 3: work to bring that investment using tariffs as the threat 62 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 3: to make countries invest back in our country, bringing trillions 63 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: back into our country, and continue to make an economy 64 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 3: that's going to help everybody. And you know, you listen 65 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 3: to Lutnik the other day on the All In podcast, 66 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 3: he was very positive. They think we could have over 67 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 3: five percent GDP in the fourth quarter and going forward 68 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: maybe six percent throughout twenty twenty six. That would be 69 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 3: enormous for not only the mid terms and Republicans going 70 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: into the midterms, but for the American people in general. 71 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Atlanta Fed had it, I think it was 72 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: five point three their estimated. They revise their estimate for 73 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: Q four, So we're waiting to see what that number 74 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 2: ultimately is. But that's a huge number that we haven't 75 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: even dreamed of in this country for a while, you know. 76 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 2: And then we've got the Supreme Court is probably going 77 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: to come down with a ruling on Wednesday, is what 78 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: I'm hearing. As far as the tariff ruling, which we'll see, 79 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see there. Because I agree with you. 80 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: I believe that President Trump. I I you know, I 81 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: believe economic warfare is. You may not like it. You 82 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 2: may not like those words but it is a reality, right, 83 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 2: we have to have Western hemispheric dominance. We are. You're 84 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 2: seeing that in Venezuela. You're seeing it with the way 85 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 2: that President Trump is using tariffs as a not only 86 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 2: a political or an economic tool, but it's a foreign 87 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: policy tool, right. And these things ultimately are meant to 88 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: enrich the homeland and enrich your residence in places like Scottsdale, 89 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 2: in Paradise Valley. It's a close district, right, Schweiker holds it, 90 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: so it's in our seat now, you know. Tell us 91 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: about some of that, and it's a very it's a 92 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,559 Speaker 2: it's the margin. 93 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 3: Plus two plus one. That's what he's won by when 94 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 3: he's held the seat, you know, and it's going to 95 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: be one of the most important swing seats in the country, 96 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 3: and it'll probably be the seat that the Democrats spend 97 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 3: the most money in the country trying to go out 98 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 3: and flip that. It's why I decided to move. Ideally, 99 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 3: you don't want to move districts, you know. I lived 100 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 3: in Gilbert That's why I originally was running. President asked 101 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 3: me to move. Then Republican leadership asked me to move. 102 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,679 Speaker 3: They didn't feel that we had anybody running for that seat, 103 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 3: that could hold a seat, that could win it. So 104 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 3: they all called me and said, hey, Jay, we need 105 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 3: you to move into CD one and run in that district. 106 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 3: And I said yes, for the good of the party. 107 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 3: The whole reason I decided to leave broadcasting. Listen, I 108 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: loved my job. I only had to work five months 109 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,799 Speaker 3: of the year, I got paid really well. 110 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: I got to do football, you. 111 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 3: Know, That's what I'd done the last ten years after 112 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: playing for fourteen years, and it was a tremendous blessing. 113 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: And I decided to leave broadcasting because, you know, because 114 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 3: I felt like God was pressing me to do it, 115 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 3: to do something with more meeting. I think back to 116 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 3: something that Charlie always said that really resonated with me, 117 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 3: which was, you know, I'm much more concerned about what 118 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 3: God wants for me than I am with what I 119 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 3: want from God, you know. And if I was selfish, 120 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 3: I would have just said, I'm going to keep my 121 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 3: broadcasting job and it's fun and it's easy and I 122 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 3: don't risk anything. But I've always been more concerned about 123 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 3: trying to follow the path where I think I can 124 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 3: help people. When we were when we were playing my 125 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 3: wife and I always wanted to use the platform that 126 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 3: God gave us to have an impact on people. You know, 127 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 3: and I view politics the same way. Maybe somewhat idealistic, 128 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 3: but your job is to create those equal opportunities, those 129 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: pathways to success for everybody. 130 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: You know. 131 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: I think that's what President Trump is doing. You know, 132 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 3: it was not the easy decision to try to go 133 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 3: after and rebalance trade. You know, he could have just 134 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 3: extended the tax cuts, tried to create energy dominance and 135 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 3: more energy production, which is going to bring down inflation, 136 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 3: bring down costs, and kind of coast it into the midterms. 137 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 3: But they took the hard path, which was, no, we 138 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: have to bring investment back into this country. We have 139 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 3: to reset trade parameters, and we got to look at 140 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 3: the long term perspective because we have thirty eight trillion 141 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 3: in debt grown out a trillion every hundred days, and 142 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 3: nobody talks about it. You know, those are the issues 143 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 3: that I think, you know that sit out there and 144 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 3: Congress doesn't do anything about either side. You know, this 145 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 3: massive debt growing, the lack of investment into our country, 146 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 3: and who pays the price. And Charlie always talked about it. 147 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 3: It was the average working, everyday man and women. That's 148 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: who pays the price. And that's who paid the price 149 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 3: of the Biden policies, you know, with the nine percent 150 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: inflation and the print eat of money. And they didn't 151 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 3: care about the impact on America. They cared about the 152 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 3: impact on their politics despite the impact on Americans. 153 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 2: Well, and when you have that inflationary environment, to guess 154 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 2: who gets hurt. It's the workingmen and women. It's a 155 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: muscular class. The people that don't have investments and you know, 156 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 2: stocks and equities. They're getting out. The value of those 157 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: equities is outstripping their ability to earn and get into 158 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 2: the financial ladder, get that first rung in the ladder. 159 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: I want to just make sure our audience is aware 160 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 2: of this. So you know, I've been asking around about you, Jay, 161 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: you knowverybody knowing that we were going to have you on. 162 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: And one of the things that came back again and again, 163 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 2: and you alluded to this in kind of what you 164 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: were talking about why you're running, is that you're just 165 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: a strong Christian man and your kids are you have 166 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: four children, right. 167 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 3: We have four of our own, and then we have 168 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 3: two that we kind of opted from Haiti. We didn't 169 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 3: legally adopt him, but I started going on and doing 170 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: projects after the earthquake, rebuilding homes with a group called 171 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 3: Mission of Hope down there, awesome organization, and you know, 172 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 3: two guys that were our translators that we just kind 173 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 3: of fell in love with, and you know, I decided, 174 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: my wife and I that we could help them, and 175 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 3: legally they went through they got an education visa Wedner 176 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 3: did and he came here, moved into our house. It 177 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 3: was the hardest thing I ever did, to be honest 178 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 3: with you, because as a dad of four young kids, 179 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 3: you don't want to do anything that may put them 180 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 3: at Jeffardy and have a negative impact. But he moved 181 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 3: into a house. We got him into Grand Cannon University. 182 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 3: Oh good, he got a degree, did awesome well. 183 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 2: And it's I just I wanted to highlight that because 184 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 2: it's something that everybody everybody said about you that I 185 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 2: asked was that he's a really solid Christian guy and 186 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 2: we need more of that we you know, I believe, 187 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: as Charlie believed, that this nation will fail if we 188 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,359 Speaker 2: lose sight of our Christian rust. Western civilization is Christendom, 189 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 2: whether or not people follow it or not. I mean 190 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: that is our foundation, you know, the we we need 191 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 2: to keep our eyes centered and a fixed on God. 192 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 2: Is God has his providential hand on this nation. I 193 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: believe it. We need leaders that acknowledge that. So I 194 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 2: just want to give you a shout out there. But 195 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 2: also when we were coordinating the memorial for Charlie, you 196 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 2: had a hand in that, and you helped us get 197 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 2: in touch with the people, help us coordinate the stadium or. 198 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 3: We were heartbroken. My wife and I literally were walking 199 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 3: out of the White House when we found out about Charlie. 200 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 3: She burst into tears. I was just gutted, and we 201 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 3: laid in bed that night and she said, you know, 202 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 3: are you sure you want to do this? And I said, 203 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 3: I have more resolved now. I know that God has 204 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 3: put me in this place at this time for this reason. 205 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 3: And I just reached out and said, hey, what can 206 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 3: we do to help? You know, we wanted to donate 207 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 3: to you help the first some of the costs of 208 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 3: the memorial. I wanted to bring people that may donate 209 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 3: to your organization and just try to support him because. 210 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: I loved what he stood for. 211 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 3: I loved that he was willing to have conversations with 212 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 3: people that completely disagreed with him that he mandated the 213 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 3: people there give them the respect to be able to communicate, 214 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 3: and then he communicated with a heart for people. It 215 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 3: wasn't just let me tell you why you're wrong, and 216 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 3: I'm so smart and I know all the things to 217 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 3: be able to counter your argument. But he had a 218 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: heart to try to help people change their viewpoint. And 219 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 3: really everything started with his faith and his trust in 220 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 3: Jesus and trying to have an impact on people for Christ. 221 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 2: And you helped us secure the venue or at least 222 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 2: help connect some of the dots behind the scenes. So 223 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 2: if you want to know how we were able to 224 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: pull that off, look no further than Jay Feely and 225 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 2: helping connect some of the dots there to get the 226 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: State Farm Stadium and get access to that. If you're 227 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 2: stressed about getting out of debt, it's go time. Seriously, 228 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 2: this is one of those moments where timing actually matters. 229 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 2: Done with debt is one of the best I've seen it. 230 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 2: Navigating debt relief twenty twenty five was a record year. 231 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 2: They enrolled over one hundred and two million dollars in 232 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 2: debt for our listeners and others. Here's why I'm telling 233 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 2: you about this now, though, According to the Federal Reserve's 234 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 2: latest survey, many banks have their standards right now maybe 235 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 2: the best window to negotiate settlements before lenders tightened further. 236 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 2: Done with debt tracks credit card and loan company behavior. 237 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 2: This is what they know, their experience at knowing who 238 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: is negotiating and when and what it takes to get 239 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: you the biggest reduction possible, and whether you're carrying ten 240 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 2: thousand or five hundred thousand dollars in debt. This is 241 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 2: probably the best chance you'll get all year. 242 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: Done with debt are legendary negotiators. When you go ahead 243 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: to head with your credit card and loan companies, they 244 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: have one goal to drastically reduce or eliminate your debt altogether. 245 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: Most clients see more money in their pocket month one. 246 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 2: Do not wait for the lenders to tighten up their policies. 247 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: Here's what you need to do. Schedule a free consultation. 248 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 2: There's no pressure and it only takes a few minutes. 249 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 2: Share who you owe and they'll tell you if this 250 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 2: is the moment you could see a major reduction in 251 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 2: your debt. Imagine waking up without that weight on your 252 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 2: shoulders and doing it without taking out another loan or 253 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: filing for bankruptcy.

Your background is great. 257 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: So you walk in the office and my first question 258 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 2: was like, not about politics, and I was like, it 259 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 2: was the longest field goal? You get right? And what 260 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 2: was the answer? 261 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 3: It was sixty one. It was long when I was playing, 262 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 3: but now they're making you know all the way back though, 263 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 3: six seventy yard field goal. 264 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 2: Sixty one is a really long ways to kick a 265 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 2: field goal. And then you so and then you you 266 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 2: went into broadcasting, did and you broadcasted four super Bowls. 267 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 3: For Super Bowls kind of crazy. 268 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 2: You were doing sideline in analysis at that point, right. 269 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 3: Sideline in the playoffs for like for the Super Bowl 270 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 3: up in the booth, I was the second kicker ever 271 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 3: in the booth after Pat Summer, all the legendary Pat Summer, 272 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 3: Susie Wiles's father. Uh So, the connection to the White House, 273 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 3: which is great and just honored to be able to 274 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 3: do that like it was. It was a challenge. You know, 275 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 3: people are like, what does a kicker know about football? 276 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 3: You know, so I love that challenge aspect of it 277 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 3: to go in there and say, hey, I actually know 278 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 3: the game, understand the game. I studied the game and 279 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 3: I can communicate it on air. 280 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 2: And you also told I didn't know this. 281 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 4: You lived with Tom Brady for a while. 282 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 3: Well we did it, like in the summer at Michigan. 283 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 3: We're at Michigan for four years ago. He was my 284 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 3: holder for one year, which is great. I got him, 285 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 3: you know, a picture of him holding the balls when 286 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 3: I was kicking. And Tom is a great guy and 287 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 3: somebody that you know, just so is real leadership, you know, 288 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 3: when you have a heart for service and you care 289 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 3: about people and you put them above yourself. That's why 290 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 3: the Patriots are so successful. When he was there, you know, 291 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 3: I hope to bring that into politics. You know, I 292 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 3: care about people. I want to have an impact for people. 293 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: I think we need people that have the ability to communicate. 294 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 3: I think is one of the things that translates directly 295 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 3: into politics. From broadcasting. I was on live on air 296 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 3: for three hours, you know, every Sunday on National TV. 297 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 3: When we lost Charlie, we lost one of the great, 298 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 3: if not the great communicator for conservative causes. No one 299 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 3: can step up and fill the void that he's left, 300 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 3: but we need people willing to step into that void 301 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 3: and try to be able to communicate and do it 302 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 3: effectively and do it with a heart for people. 303 00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: I really mean this that you know charge Charlie was 304 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: desperate for a Republican party that was as conservative as 305 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: its voters. And to hear you, you know, bring that 306 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 2: up as an inspiration, and and then just knowing kind 307 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 2: of your reaction to when Charlie was assassinated and the 308 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 2: things you did to help behind the scenes, you know, 309 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 2: there's all it's funny. I was telling Tyler, there's all 310 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 2: these conspiracy theories that we like planned the memorial six 311 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 2: months out or something like that. No, the reason we 312 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: were able to do it is because we had friends 313 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 2: like you that had connections with it with NFL ownership 314 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: to help open up the stadium. It wasn't just you, 315 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 2: there was other people helping. I don't want to overstate things, 316 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 2: but I mean it was really amazing, and and I 317 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 2: just I keep hearing you say this, you know this 318 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 2: note about how you were inspired by Charlie, and it 319 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 2: really warms the heart because what Charlie's enduring legacy is 320 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 2: going to be at Republican Party that's remade and inspired 321 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 2: by the things that he did, by the message that he. 322 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 3: My biggest disappointment has been the way the Republican Party 323 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 3: has acted after his death, that we haven't coaleske to. 324 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 3: When you look at the parties, they've never been further 325 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 3: apart ideologically. We have so much to go after to 326 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 3: show the distinct differences in beliefs and what our vision 327 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 3: is for this country between the left and the right. 328 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 3: And there's been so much infighting on the Republican Party 329 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 3: to try to, I don't know, fill the void of 330 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 3: Charlie and where he was, and you know, we need 331 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 3: to come together and not not fight against each other, 332 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 3: but fight against you know, the people on the other side. 333 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 3: When you listen to Jasmine Crockett and Congressman Omar Elan 334 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 3: and the things that they believe, and you look at 335 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 3: Mandami and why he was elected. You know, Charlie talked 336 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: about affordability all the time and the fact that we 337 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 3: need young people to have a vested interests in this country. 338 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 3: They have to have ownership in this country. If they 339 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 3: don't own a home, they don't have internship ownership. They're 340 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 3: not invested in this country. That's why somebody like Mandami 341 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 3: can get elected in New York's why you know so 342 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 3: many young people are disillusioned with the political process because 343 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 3: they throw their hands up there, like I got massive 344 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 3: debt from college, I can't get a great job, and 345 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 3: interest rates are hi, I can't buy a home, so 346 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 3: I just want the government to do it for me. 347 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 4: We've had a very interesting swerve from the President just 348 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 4: these last couple of weeks. 349 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 2: He's on homes. 350 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 4: He says he doesn't. 351 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: Want large institutional love it to own it. 352 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 4: And also he was calling for a ten percent interest 353 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 4: cap on credit cards as well. 354 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 2: Right, which is potentially problematic, but otherwise, but he's signaling 355 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: in the right direction that he's worried about affordability, is 356 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 2: worried about you know, so much of our economic system 357 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 2: benefits economic incumbents, right, and so we have That was 358 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 2: the message that Charlie had for gen Z. It's like, listen, 359 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: the American dream is alive, and well we have to 360 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 2: focus on it. Because yeah, we had major gains in 361 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four with the next generation. But we got 362 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 2: to stay on it. This is not you know, the 363 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 2: cement is not dry. Yet. 364 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 3: He brought hope to young people and that's what our 365 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 3: politicians need to do. That's what Republicans need to do. 366 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 3: We needed to give them a vision of why they 367 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 3: should believe in our policies and how they're going to 368 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 3: give them opportunity. You can't dictate outcomes because you can't 369 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 3: control in the vision behaviors, but you can give the 370 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 3: right opportunities to people and say, if you work hard 371 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 3: and you make the right decisions, here's your pathway to success. 372 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 3: I think so many young people right now don't see that. 373 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 3: They don't have hope that if I do the right 374 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 3: things that I'm going to be successful. That's our job 375 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 3: as a Republican Party is to make that argument and 376 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 3: make it understandable for young people and listen and for everybody. 377 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 3: Most people are just trying to work their job, provide 378 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,959 Speaker 3: for their family. They want the government to stay out 379 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 3: of their business, you know, and they want the right 380 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 3: economic environment to be able to be successful. That's what 381 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 3: most people want, you know. They don't want their government 382 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 3: in their lives. Telling them what to do, how to 383 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 3: live their lives, what decision to make. They just want 384 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 3: you to do the right things. Unfortunately, we had four 385 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 3: years of a Bide administration. They let ten to twenty 386 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 3: million illegals come in. That raise the price of rent, 387 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 3: That raised the cost of affordability. You had prices go 388 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 3: up because they got unto snap and they're using those snaps, 389 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 3: raising grocery prices, you know. And then the interest rates 390 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 3: go up because they're printing money. You know, we're just 391 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 3: going to drive up inflation, you know, and then you 392 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 3: get nine percent inflation all of a sudden. The average 393 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 3: person's going what happened? Like I can't afford even the 394 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 3: things I used to be able to afford, and I 395 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:07,719 Speaker 3: don't have hope for a future. 396 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 2: Well, and I think ultimately you're talking about giving up 397 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 2: on the system of young people. You're seeing this in Minneapolis. 398 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people have given up on America. 399 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 2: They've given up on the idea of America. They want 400 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 2: to see it all burned. You know, these communist front 401 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 2: groups are getting funded and the protesters are organizing, and 402 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 2: you know, you got the Golden globes wearing be good 403 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 2: buttons when so hypocritical. 404 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 3: I heard you guys talking about earlier. I loved what 405 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 3: you said because when you look back at Obama and 406 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 3: what he did with deportations eighty percent or which without 407 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 3: due process. They talk about due process all the time, 408 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 3: his deportations were not with due process, but nobody complained. 409 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 3: The only person who even said anything was ACLU. They 410 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 3: wrote like four articles about it, but nobody in the 411 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 3: mainstream media had any issue it because it was a 412 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 3: Democrat president doing it well. 413 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 2: And I want to reiterate a point you made. This 414 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 2: is going to be one of the most expensive congressional 415 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 2: races in the country Arizona one.

Who's 427 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 2: the better broadcaster? 428 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 3: Who's the better broadcast? 429 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, Romo?

You teach me, 432 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 2: that's for sure. These are controversial. You're gonna that exactly, 433 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 2: Jay Feely, Uh, thankful. 434 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 3: For what you do conservative causes. 435 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 2: President Trump walked into a catch twenty two when taking office. 436 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 2: Do nothing in America would be staring at a ticking 437 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 2: debt bomb, the kind of crisis that could cripple our future. Instead, 438 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 2: he's taken action with strong policies to slow the train 439 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 2: and buy us some time. But the effects of past 440 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 2: administration spending are still working through the system, and experts 441 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 2: predict dramatic price increases and market uncertainty. Trump is doing 442 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 2: all he can, but no matter who's in office, protecting 443 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 2: your retirement savings is ultimately up to you, and that's 444 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 2: why many Americans are turning to real assets like gold 445 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 2: and silver.

President Trump is fighting 455 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 2: for America's future. Now it's your term to help protect yours. 456 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: We are turning our attention to Iran now that we 457 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 2: talked about this on Friday, and we're gonna have Alika 458 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 2: Lebon who is an Iranian in the United States and 459 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 2: she's been a strong activist advocate for a free Iran, 460 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 2: free of the Mullahs and Kameini. And so there's a 461 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 2: lot going on, and it's very hard to understand exactly 462 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 2: what's going on because there is an internet blackout. We've 463 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 2: got ai, We've got a almost complete media blackout from 464 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 2: the West. There has been very little coverage, but there 465 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 2: is a lot of you know, activists that. 466 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 4: Are we have reports of hundreds some people claiming thousands. 467 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 4: I've seen reports in around five hundred some supposed deaths 468 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 4: from clashes between demonstrators and security forces. President Trump has 469 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 4: been weighing in on this. He said about a week 470 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 4: and a half ago he was saying, if Iran strikes 471 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 4: on protesters, We're ready to step in, and then he 472 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 4: said this weekend quote, Iran is looking at free perhaps 473 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 4: like never before. The USA stands ready to help three 474 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 4: exclamation points. And so there is this sense that President Trump, 475 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 4: I guess you might say, he might see this as 476 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 4: an opportunity similar to Venezuela, where in a normal war 477 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 4: you need a lot of force, but he may see 478 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 4: this as an opportunity where a couple strikes and he 479 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 4: can knock. 480 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 2: Over the Iranian regime. Well can you imagine the psychological 481 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 2: impact of the protesters. Now, I want to be very clear, 482 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 2: I currently am against intervention, military intervention. I don't see 483 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 2: it as America first at this point, but you know, 484 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 2: I am hearing reports that there could be carriers headed 485 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 2: to the region straight at Hormoz, that kind of thing. 486 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 2: If we are doing economic warfare, I think you could 487 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 2: topple the Irani regime plus the protest with a barricade 488 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 2: or embargo, if you will, A blockade of the oil 489 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 2: coming out of Iran that's usually headed straight to the CCP. 490 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 2: So it's a good it's good and two different on 491 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 2: two different fronts. Right You're you're going to choke off 492 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 2: the oil flow to the CCP. You're also going to 493 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 2: choke off revenues to the Mullus. Okay, So those those 494 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 2: two things I would be in support of. I do 495 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,959 Speaker 2: not want to see US militarily get involved, but it 496 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 2: does seem like the Lady G's and that sort of 497 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 2: thing is it's happening. They're they're pushing for a final 498 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 2: blow against the Iranian Mullas right now. So that's that's 499 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 2: we are monitoring that closely. Let's do you have a 500 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 2: clip you want to play? Sorry, I want to play 501 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 2: a clip here real quick. This is a I think 502 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 2: like a fairly dispassionate setting of the table before Elica 503 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 2: joins US two twenty eight. 504 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 6: You shove that Tehran to get Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatola 505 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 6: Ali Kramene on Friday accused protesters of acting on behalf 506 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 6: of US President Donald Trump. Hamone said rioters were attacking 507 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 6: public property and warned that Tehran would not tolerate people 508 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 6: acting as quote scenaries for foreigners. Videos uploaded to social 509 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 6: media on Thursday showed hundreds of people marching in Tehran 510 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,479 Speaker 6: streets at night, as anti government protests continued, triggered by 511 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 6: frustration with the country's economy and rampant inflation. Witnesses in 512 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 6: the capital and major cities of Mashad and Isfahan told 513 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 6: Reuters that protesters gathered in the streets chanting slogans against 514 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 6: the Islamic Republic's clerical rulers, protesters for an Iranian flag 515 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 6: in half. Internet monitoring group NetBlocks said a nationwide internet 516 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 6: blackout was reported on Thursday. 517 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 2: All right, and it looks like we have Elika Labon, 518 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 2: who is now ready. Elica, Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. 519 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 7: Thank you, thanks for having me. 520 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 2: Absolutely so. One of the struggles with the Iranian story 521 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 2: right now is it's hard to get accurate information. So 522 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 2: you are connected with people inside Iran, you are Iranian, 523 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 2: tell us what the truth is, what's really going on 524 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 2: the extent of the protests, please, Yeah. 525 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 7: Well, I mean, first of all, a lot of what 526 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 7: the media says is that this is, you know, protests 527 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 7: that are instigated because of economic conditions. But the reality 528 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 7: is that what these people, what the people of Iran 529 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 7: are protesting, is the oppressive regime that has sort of 530 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 7: had its foot on their necks for the past forty 531 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 7: seven years. It's true that that sometimes things happen that 532 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 7: instigate a new series of protests, which is exactly what's 533 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 7: happened right now with the economic conditions since then. It's 534 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 7: just impossible to count how many Iranians have taken to 535 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 7: the streets from what we're hearing, from what we're hearing 536 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 7: from people inside Iran, essentially everybody and their neighbor, and 537 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 7: their parents and even their children have taken to the streets, 538 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 7: and it is a total nationwide protest to try and 539 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 7: ouse the regime. At the same time, the regime's narrative, 540 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 7: which we have to remember, the regime are in control 541 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 7: of the entire propaganda operation. They're in charge of the media. 542 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 7: There's no free speech, there's no free journalism. And their 543 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 7: story that they're returning back to the world while the 544 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 7: Internet has been shut down is that you know, so 545 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 7: this is a Zionist operation, a Zionist psyop, a form 546 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 7: of American imperialism. But what most people don't know is 547 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 7: that that is the lie that drove the nineteen seventy 548 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 7: nine revolution, and it is the very lie that Iranian 549 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 7: people have woken up from and are now protesting again 550 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 7: against today. 551 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 2: And how big are the protests and how widespread. 552 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 7: Monumental, I mean every city, every it's across the entire nation. Obviously, 553 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 7: you know, it's not like the regime is going to 554 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 7: be tallying numbers and sending us back figures to let 555 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 7: us know. It's not like Gaza Health Ministry where they're 556 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 7: going to send us, you know, accurate reporting. But essentially, 557 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 7: from what we've heard from inside Iran, every single city 558 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 7: in Iran is basically has detonated with these protests. 559 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 2: So there is a galonline. I'm not sure if you're 560 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 2: familiar with her. It's Tamine de Basorgi. Apology apologies for 561 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 2: butchering that, but she we had this viral tweet that 562 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 2: it looks at five point three million engagements right now. 563 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: So she says the Western liberal media is ignoring the 564 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: Iranian uprising because explaining it would force an admission it 565 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 2: is desperate to avoid. The Iranian people are rebelling against 566 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 2: Islam itself and the fact that shatters the moral framework 567 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 2: through which these institutions understand the world. So she's basically 568 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 2: saying this is different than what happened in Palestine or 569 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 2: with Hermas. It doesn't fit the moral framework of Western media. 570 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 2: Therefore Western media is not going to cover it. Do 571 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 2: you think that's what's happening. Is that what's causing this 572 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 2: media blackout from the CNN's and the ms nows of 573 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 2: the world. 574 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 8: Yeah. 575 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 7: I mean, I've posted a similar tweet in similar videos 576 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 7: talking about the moral color code, which is essentially that 577 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 7: in Western academia, especially leftist academia. And I say this 578 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 7: as a former leftist myself, there's this sort of framework 579 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 7: that has been taught to American youth about who the 580 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 7: good people and who the bad people are, who the oppressed, 581 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 7: and who there are. And we've so many decades we've 582 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 7: spent educating our youth that the good people in the 583 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 7: world are the you know, the global South or the 584 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 7: people of color, and the evil people in the world 585 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 7: are the white people, right, And so their rebellion, according 586 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 7: to that moral color code, is against all things white. 587 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 7: And that is why you saw them coming out in 588 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 7: droves to you know, protest against Israel, which had been 589 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 7: named a white nation. Of white Jews from Poland right, 590 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 7: and that that was absolutely deliberate. But when you see these, 591 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 7: when you see what's happening in Iran at the hands 592 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 7: of an Islamist regime, well let's not forget that violates 593 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 7: the moral color code, because now you're talking about Islamists 594 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,239 Speaker 7: who are coded as brown, and they cannot defy the 595 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 7: moral color code and go against the Islamist because that 596 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 7: on us their entire story. It exposes the contradiction that 597 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 7: what they've been protesting for, or what they've been standing 598 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 7: for this entire time, has never been humanity. It has 599 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 7: been abiding by Orthodox abiding by a moral color code 600 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 7: which is built on a farce. 601 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 4: So, Alika, I was wondering if you could, I've seen 602 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 4: some discussion. What type of alternative government do you think 603 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 4: the people on the ground want. There's been obviously the 604 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 4: son of the former Shah has made himself a very 605 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 4: prominent figure in all of this. 606 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 2: Do people want the Shah back or how do they 607 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 2: feel on the ground there? Do you believe? 608 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 7: Yeah? So, when we're looking at these protests, these nationwide 609 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 7: protests from city to city, the one thing that is 610 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 7: unanimous is that they are calling back for the Shah. 611 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 7: They're saying Jovishah, which means long live the king. They're 612 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 7: saying enoch Plavi bad Migadha, which means this is the 613 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 7: last battle in Paplavi will return. There's a very specific 614 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 7: reason for this, and the reason is that they ousted 615 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 7: his father in nineteen seventy nine based on what I 616 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 7: call the Great Lie. And that great lie was the 617 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 7: the ideology by the Marxists and the leftist that convinced 618 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 7: them that some utopia was going to if they just 619 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 7: ousted you know, Western imperialism. They called the Shah an 620 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 7: American puppet, the American elite, and once we would be 621 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 7: done with all of this, and you know, we could 622 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 7: usher in some Marxist utopia of equality for all, right. 623 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 7: And so the Iranian people very soon discovered that there 624 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 7: was no utopia. It was just hell. And because of 625 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 7: that lie, there is a very specific return that they're 626 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 7: calling for right now. It's essentially an apology. First, we 627 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 7: made a mistake. We want the Shah's sun back, We 628 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 7: want the crown Prince, Reza pahlaviback. He will act as 629 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 7: a transitional leader. He's not coming as a dictator and 630 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 7: authoritarian he's coming back as an interim leader to transition 631 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 7: the country into democracy. At that point, a referendum will 632 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 7: be opened up whether people will decide who it is 633 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 7: that they want to lead the country, what type of system, 634 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 7: whether it will be a constitutional monarchy, a republic, a 635 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 7: democratic republic. But I will say that the polls that 636 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 7: have come out of Iran over the past couple of 637 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 7: years have already revealed that that their number one choice 638 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 7: for a leader is the Crown Prince Rezapatavi because he 639 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 7: is the only person that they trust against everything, all 640 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 7: of the betrayals and all of the lies that they've experienced, heretofore. 641 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 2: Wow, and you feel like that is widely shared on 642 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 2: the ground in Iran. 643 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 7: Absolutely. I mean, just listen to their words. We don't 644 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 7: have to get we just we listened to their words. 645 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 2: No, I heard that was a trust you on that one. 646 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 2: That was that was a big question we had. It 647 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 2: was this was he representative? Yeah? Was he representative of 648 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 2: a larger voice or was he trying to insinuate himself 649 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 2: and to be opportunistic? It was an honest question. Uh 650 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 2: so that's actually good to know because. 651 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, no, no, no, that you don't speak the language. Well, 652 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 7: I was like, why don't you hear them? 653 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't speak it. Uh So then the next 654 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 2: question here is about US involvement intervention Play two twenty six. 655 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 8: Yes, the leaders of Iran, they wanted to go to shop. 656 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 8: I think they're tired of being beat up by the 657 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 8: United States. Iran wants to negotiate US. We may meet 658 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 8: with them, I mean a meeting is being set up, 659 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 8: but we may have to act because of what's happening 660 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 8: before the meeting. 661 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 4: So I guess a general thing I'm wondering is how 662 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 4: fragile does the regime seem to be? Like Trump is 663 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 4: threatening to possibly get involved. We see the people on 664 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 4: the streets, we see the regime shooting back. Is it 665 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 4: the sort of thing that could be shoved over with 666 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 4: that too much effort. 667 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 7: I think the fragility of the regime is directly proportional 668 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 7: to how much it can withstand. And if there's intervention 669 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 7: that's coming from the United States, that's coming from the outside, 670 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 7: they're not going to be able to withstand the uprising 671 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 7: within Iran and the intervention from outside, So that will 672 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 7: absolutely be the thing that topples the regime over without intervention. No, 673 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 7: the regime will not collapse because there's already been a 674 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 7: massive shut down, and they're saying that the regime is 675 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 7: starting to take control. 676 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 5: This is Lane Schoenberger, chief investment Officer and founding partner 677 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 5: of y Refi.

They're 705 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:31,240 Speaker 4: blocking out online banking, They're blocking out basically anything requiring 706 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 4: a GPS signal or like location at all is just 707 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 4: getting shut down. 708 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 2: Jeez, wow, Elica, I want to show this image really quick. 709 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 2: Two thirty four. This has become an iconic image of 710 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 2: this young woman lighting fire to the Supreme Ruler and 711 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 2: uh leader whatever his name is, Komane and using it 712 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 2: to light her cigarette. And I mean it's really like 713 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 2: a It's become this touch point of the youth led movement. 714 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 2: Explain that how are young people playing a central role 715 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 2: in this Iranian protest movement. 716 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I mean it's essentially entirely driven by the youth, 717 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 7: because we have to remember that, you know, our youth 718 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,240 Speaker 7: in Iran, they have access to the Internet, they're on TikTok, 719 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 7: they're on Instagram, they're on social media, and what they're 720 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 7: doing all day is essentially comparing their lives to the 721 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 7: lives of people who are living with the rights and 722 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 7: freedoms and privileges that we enjoy. And it makes no 723 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 7: sense to them why they don't have those things. It 724 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 7: makes no sense to them why they have to, you know, 725 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 7: have hair coverings, Why they're not allowed to sing or 726 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 7: dance in public, why they're not allowed to essentially do anything, 727 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 7: and they have to follow these laws of these clerics 728 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 7: that are completely removed and completely out of touch from 729 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 7: the youth of that generation. And it's also important to 730 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 7: remember that many people think that Iran is a Muslim 731 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 7: and technically it is, but because of the regime. But 732 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 7: the Iranian people are not religious, They've never been religious, 733 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 7: because Islam is not something that came to us, our original, 734 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 7: our indigenous religion. You can say Iserastrianism and Islam came 735 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 7: to us by conquest, and it's not something that the 736 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 7: Iranian people ever fully adopted, and so there's an aspect 737 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,439 Speaker 7: of it that is still foreign to the Iranian people, 738 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 7: and most especially to the Iranian youth. So when they're 739 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 7: seeing the way that the rest of the world is 740 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 7: living on TikTok, they're making their dance videos too, but 741 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 7: they're not allowed to make their dance videos. They're getting 742 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 7: penalized for making dance videos, and they're tired of living 743 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 7: under these restrictions. 744 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very interesting what you're getting at. I don't 745 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 2: think that that feels, I guess logical to the average American. Right, 746 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 2: we've been told our whole lives. You know, the Iranian 747 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 2: Muslim is very repressive. This is what we've known. But 748 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 2: there is this undercurrent within Persian culture, right. The Persian 749 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 2: people I interacted with them when I was living in 750 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 2: Los Angeles, amazingly industrious people. I think a lot of 751 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 2: them are pretty devoutly Muslim. I would say my experience, 752 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,720 Speaker 2: you would know better than I, of course, but my interaction, 753 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 2: this is my first hand experience. They were developed igc. 754 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 7: I don't think I've ever met a Persian that was 755 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 7: a devout Muslim unless they were, iogy. 756 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 2: Well and that no, that's really interesting insight. And I'll listen, 757 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 2: you're the subject matter expert here, but the what I 758 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,399 Speaker 2: will say is it's there does seem to be this. 759 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 2: You see these videos from the nineteen seventies of Iranian 760 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:42,280 Speaker 2: culture before, and it feels very western, it feels very liberal, 761 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 2: and I do think that that is a promising sign. 762 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 2: If we're going to see Iran change and leadership change, 763 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,760 Speaker 2: do you believe that the country would be well poised 764 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 2: to sort of be reintegrated into the international community. Yeah. 765 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 7: And you know, I tweeted something about this the other 766 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 7: day because we'll talk about this concept of westernization, right 767 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 7: and they forget that we, the Iranian people, are the 768 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:12,320 Speaker 7: descendants of Cyrus the Great, who basically penned the Cyrus 769 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 7: Cylinder and that was the first declaration of human rights 770 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 7: in history. And people forget that the Middle East was 771 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 7: once considered the cradle of civilization, and so a lot 772 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 7: of what we consider, you know, liberal right now, these 773 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 7: concepts of human rights, they did originate with people like 774 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 7: our ancestors Cyrus the Great, and so Iran is sort 775 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 7: of like a downstream effect of that type of culture 776 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 7: and those types of norms, And that's why it's so 777 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 7: important to understand that the way that Islamism has been 778 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 7: sort of put on Iran, it contradicts our true underlying 779 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 7: values and our underlying values. It's not that we are Western, 780 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 7: we are Persian, but our Persian values mirror Western values 781 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 7: very closely. And that's also why you've seen such a 782 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 7: close alliance between the Iranian people and the United States 783 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 7: and Israel and Western countries, because we share the same values. 784 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 7: And pre nineteen seventy nine, that's exactly what you were 785 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,959 Speaker 7: seeing in Iran. The Shah, the last Shark, the Shah 786 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,280 Speaker 7: of Iran, he actually instigated something called the White Revolution, 787 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 7: which was a modernization project that gave women's women's rights, 788 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 7: women's suffrage, It was about expansion of literacy, industrial growth, 789 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 7: all of these things. And it was actually that exact 790 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 7: modernization that caused the Islamists and the Marxists insigned Iran 791 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,879 Speaker 7: to ally to overthrow the sha because they called it westernization. 792 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 7: What it really was was Persianization. It was a return 793 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 7: to our Persian values that are very very closely mirrored 794 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 7: with the West, the Judeo Christian values. 795 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it certainly seems that I think we've 796 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 2: I mean, this is why these videos go viral online 797 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,959 Speaker 2: about the nineteen seventies Iran that that is no more 798 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 2: and hopefully will be again. But yeah, go ahead, Blake, 799 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 2: if it's. 800 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 4: Just it's it's a remarkable thing to watch. I think 801 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 4: all of us would be very happy if. I mean, 802 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 4: Aram's been an enemy of the United States my entire life. 803 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 4: If we were able to topple that without needing a 804 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 4: giant regime change war, without needing you know, two hundred 805 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,879 Speaker 4: thousand US troops, I think that would be an amazing thing. 806 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:26,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it I mean, Flora is yours, Elika. What's 807 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,720 Speaker 2: your message to the American people about Iran? 808 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 7: My message to the American people is that it has 809 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 7: never been more important to stand behind the people of Iran. 810 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 7: A liberated Iran from the regime will free not just 811 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 7: the regime. It will free Israel and Gaza from Hamas, 812 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 7: Lebanon from Hezbola. It will Yemen from the Houthis, and 813 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 7: the West from Nucliff. It will be a massive, cascading 814 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 7: liberation for all. 815 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 2: Thank you, Elka, really well said.
