WEBVTT - Life in Socialist NYC 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.360 Hour two Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean, 0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:05.920 if you want to be a part of the program. 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:11.200 It is amazing that young people that have gone through, 0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:15.400 you know, all the way from nursery school to kindergarten 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:20.480 to elementary school, high school, some of the elite universities 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.720 are the most ignorant of all people. And we saw 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.720 this in New York City, unfold young people and droves 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:32.559 going out to vote for zoron Comi Marxist Mamdani. And 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:36.240 they don't know what they don't know. I mean, maybe 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.200 a part of me should feel sorry for them. They've 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:43.240 been indoctrinated, these our little indoctrination centers. But there comes 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.600 a point in life where you've got to talk to 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:50.840 people who have lived real life and have real life experiences. 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.440 And there is a guy by the name, and will 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.280 introduce you to him in a minute, Daniel di Martino. 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:02.000 He's a fellow at the Manhattan Institute. He's an immigrant 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:06.440 from Venezuela. He came here to escape the destitution, the 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:11.520 starvation under the dictatorship that thankfully now has fallen thanks 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:16.279 to President Trump. He lived through hell in Venezuela and 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.840 one of the many, many Venezuelans that are grateful to 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:26.920 President Trump because Venezuela has all of the capabilities natural resources. 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:32.360 They have more energy oil reserves than any country on 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.280 the face of the earth. That means, yeah, more than 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:39.120 Saudi Arabia, which is number two. So a couple of 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:43.160 days ago and he had an op ed about this, 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:50.320 but he confronted Mamdani's supporters in New York City. Now 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.880 it's a rather long clip, and I'm gonna play it 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:58.040 because it is enlightening and educational in every way imaginable. 0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:59.960 Then we'll talk to Daniel on the other side of it. 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.400 I actually have a friend of mine here who fled 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:06.840 Venzuela who is a living product of socialism not working 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.440 out in other places. Came from Venezuela nine years ago. 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.480 It's the only country that was ever destroyed by socialist 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.200 and democratic DA got lot other problems. 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.480 To the problems were cast by the socialist policy. 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.959 My family went from making two three thousand dollars a 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.560 month twenty years ago to one hundred dollars a month 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.280 in twenty sixteen. That was because the government gave everything 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.400 you can't imagine would break the one from me in 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.640 a oroble middle class family with a card and then 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.560 no electricity, no hotter mom. Daddy actually thinks that Maduro 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.240 was an a dictainer and ten years ago he actually 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:37.480 breaks for great elections. 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.800 What specific socialist policies like. 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:44.160 That the government took over people's basiness with farms, grocery stores, factories. 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.480 Do you support the proposal of government grocery stores? Of course, 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.079 I think there was very little supply of chicken. All 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:50.640 thet paper. 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.760 There was a line for blocks and blocks for a 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:53.360 grocery store. 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.000 It's all about money, my friend co option. 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.040 Wait, what do you think the grocery store sells you 0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.040 food for charity or for money for money? 0:02:59.080 --> 0:02:59.640 That's what about. 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.800 Thing happened in Isetta isn't gonna happen here. 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.639 The policy is more focused on helping people out. 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.800 Every politician will promise to help the people. Socialism is 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.800 the government owns and controls the means of production, that is, 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.119 the company's the businesses. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:13.200 Like m'm Danny says, the. 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.000 Government will own the grocery store. Nine million of us 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.400 escape our country. It's the larger refuge crisis, and the 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:19.720 world is wow. 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.760 There is a lot of opportunities to use the wealth 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:24.640 of New York to help everyone else. 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.040 You know, they have tried that in the Soviet Union, 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.600 from where Medharans and my grandparents are from. 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.519 All their member of ours restores. 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.720 Is the shells which arm Mam Danny himself said that 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.040 he's foolish to abolish profrom all of it. 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.480 He's going to take everything to established community. 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.400 Land trust to ractually buy of housing on the climate 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.040 work and converted to community ownership. You want to live 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.800 in a public house? No New York City builds less 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.400 total housing units than Austin, Texas, a city that is 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:50.880 one eighth of the size of the Union. 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:52.640 We need a change, but then the change that we 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:53.480 need is one that. 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.040 Increases the supperly of housing, right, not that one that 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.960 will decrease in like Mam Danny and I fear that. 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.880 What And in Venezuela, mador own president that was originally 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.400 democratically elected, decided to give everything away for free change 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.840 people's businesses, you know, for the workers, and then they 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:10.400 all went bankrupt. 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.000 And became very important. 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.160 Over sixty two percent of young people and sixty six 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:18.359 percent of Democrats support socialism nationwide. The Democratic Socialist of 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:19.360 America ye time. 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:20.840 You know, Mom Dane is a part of it, right. 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:21.400 Yeah. 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.720 The DSA went to Venezuela just last year to support 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.159 the dictator and say that he won the election, that 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:27.880 he didn't. 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:28.200 Tech no idea. 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:32.480 Do you think we should be supporting dictators like that? Now? 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:33.760 Our government rent control. 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.719 It's going to stop people from renting apartments because they're 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:37.840 not going to be able to profit. 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:38.440 They are gonna be. 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.520 Fewer apartments for rent, and then we're going to have 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:44.320 less opportunities to actually live. That I agree with that, Okay, 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.479 I understand more about socialism now for sure. Since we 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.240 have had more free markets and capitalism in the world, 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.720 billions of people have been lifted for a property and 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:56.200 that every country that has attempted socialism in Venezuela, Cuba 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.240 and so you in North Korea, East and Europe, many 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:00.920 countries in Afri all of them. 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.120 You've been through it in Venezuela. 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:04.080 Yes, So why don't you move on? 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.000 I already did? Actually, well, awesome funny here, Well. 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.600 I already moved out of my country too. You think 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.520 people should just keep moving out of socialist destroy their countries. 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.080 On their sid If you don't like the policies that 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:14.240 the government's powered doing. 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.600 And yeah, I think my opinion might have changed a 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:17.000 little bit. 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.599 I'll be doing more research. Thank you for sharing. I 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.080 heard great quote about socialism which is it's really a 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.280 great system until you run out of spending other people's money. 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.960 I mean, does that not really just spell it all 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.640 out for you. The level of ignorance that's that, unfortunately 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:37.160 so many Americans have and this ridiculous so called idealism 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:42.080 of radical socialism. Daniel di Martino, sir, welcome to the program. 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.280 Thanks for being with us. 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.320 Thank you so much for hiring Michelle, especially for playing 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:47.640 this well. 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:48.600 It's powerful. 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.400 And why don't you tell us from your perspective, you know, 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.640 what you thought of their ignorance and their lack of 0:05:55.960 --> 0:06:01.640 understanding and lack of education to I just put it nicely. 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.640 Yeah, Well, the first thing that came to mind, to 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.800 be honest, is that the average person, he's really not 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:13.520 educated at a home on the on the topic, and 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:18.320 unfortunately we are a diversity of the average person. But 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.640 something that was very hopeful to me is that when 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.799 confronted with the fact, some of those people did change 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.479 their mind and opened their eyes. Not all of them 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.479 you know, probably not most of them, but a significant share. 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.719 So we can actually move the needle with these conversations. 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.400 One funny conversation that was in that clip was this 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:40.760 girl who said, so, why don't you just move out 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.840 of New York And I'm like, well, I actually already 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.880 live in Jersey and she lived in Florida. So you know, 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:48.640 people will go with their feet clearly. 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.960 Well, we were seeing this happening, you know, around the country. 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.440 I mean, there was an announcement, you know, two of 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.920 the richest residents of California, Larry Ellison and one of 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.680 the co founders, I think Larry Page, I believe his 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.080 name is, one of the co founders of Google. They're 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:10.000 about to implement a five percent billionaire wealth tax, which 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:15.600 is wealth confiscation in Gavin Newsom's socialist utopia of California. 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.680 And they're getting out. They're not giving their money that 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.760 they worked hard for. Oh they're rich, Hannity, They're gonna 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.000 afford it. It's not our money, it's their money. They 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.640 earned it through hard work, their ingenuity. Maybe they earned 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.280 it just through good old fashioned luck. I don't know, 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.000 and I don't care. It's not my money. These are 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.960 not ill gotten gains. These are people that tend to 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:42.360 be very, very bright, very smart, contribute to society. Nobody 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.680 forces people to buy goods and services from anyone else. 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.800 You have to want them, and that is the beauty 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:53.520 of capitalism. And I look up to people that are successful. 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:57.920 I learn from people that are successful. Anyway, explain your 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.840 life in Venezuela. I want people to hear more directly 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:06.320 from you about life under you, growing up under this dictatorship. 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:10.040 Yeah. So, well, what I think is interesting is that 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.800 I had a similar life to what many American middle 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:18.680 class families have today, which is my family had two cars, 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.520 and then you know, we had our apartment. It was 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:26.240 a three bedroom apartment, two bad My parents on the 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.560 gas station. That's what they did for a living. 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:29.240 Uh. 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:33.320 It was a great business, making two three thousand dollars 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.839 a month in the early two thousands, which if you're 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.520 just for inflation, it's maybe what for five thousand dollars 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.800 a month nowadays. And now you know, by by twenty 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.000 sixteen when I left, it was one hundred dollars a month. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.400 I was already landing up for food. You needed to 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:52.400 bring my ID number. Uh. The rationing system changed over time, 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.600 so sometimes it was a fingerprint scanning machine for the quota. 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.480 Sometimes it was based on your ID number. The day 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.080 of the week that you could go to the supermarket 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.160 was assigned, so I got Mondays and Saturdays because my 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:05.120 number was one. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.240 Okay, when you went to the supermarket? What was it 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.319 like in there? Was it? Was it well the shelves 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.240 filled to the brim or did you have a choice 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.960 of everything? Where you you were given a quota in 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.520 terms of what you can buy, it. 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:24.280 Was kind of half empty, not totally empty or anything, 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.960 and totally there was very little brand diversity. Some shells 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.199 so the grocery store to make it seem full, that 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:35.240 would just fill entire holes with the same product because 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.520 that's all they could put and there were very little 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.679 brand competition. One of the saddest things that you could 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:45.559 visualize in the grocery store was a certain point the 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:50.560 cereal brands ran out of coloring material and so the 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:54.480 cereal boxes were not in any color that were brown, 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.200 like the color of the carton. And so I say that, 0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.959 imagine how siety socialism that they even take the color 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.040 away from life. 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:05.120 Tell me about your journey out of Venezuela to the 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:10.040 United States. And you know, you talk about July thirty first, 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.080 twenty sixteen, you boarded a flight that would take you 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:18.600 from Caracas to Indianapolis, Indiana, and you point out many 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.640 Venezuelans who come to the US do so because of 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.320 the terrible life changing events. Is about ten million of you, 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:29.440 ten million Venezuelan citizens that have left and tell us 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:30.920 about that journey. 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:36.200 Well, I knew from a young age that was happening 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.880 in Venezuela was headed in a horrific direction, and a 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:41.920 lot of people didn't quite understand that. A lot of 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.480 people thought that, you know, this is going to end, 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.559 or the regime is going to leave peacefully and democratically, 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.720 and then everything's going to go back to normal. And 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.920 then then normal became ten years and fifteen years and 0:10:55.040 --> 0:11:00.080 twenty years. Now it's twenty seven years. It's my entire life. 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:04.160 And so I decided to learn in English. From a 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.920 young age. I excelled academically so that I could do 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.040 what I did, which is that I got a scholarship 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.960 of full right to study in the States. And when 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:18.120 I went to Indiana, initially Indianapolis specifically a great place 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.920 I'm very happy I moved to Indiana, and that was 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.600 my first experience living in America, right in New York 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.320 where I'm at now, or in the New York City area, 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:33.680 and so that was my journey. The journey of other 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:38.280 Venezuelans is very sad because it implies walking thousands of 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.040 miles to Columbia and Perum. Many of them get to 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.280 Chile very far away. It's the equivalent is if you 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.400 walk from you know, San Francisco to New York City. 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.720 For some of these people, Wow. 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.719 That's an amazing testament of courage. My quick break, as 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:57.199 we continue from the DC swamp President Trump on Hannity tonight, 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:01.560 not in Eastern we continue with Danielle de Martino, who 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:07.280 escaped the destruction, starvation under the dictatorship in Venezuela that 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.760 has now fallen thanks to President Trump. Or on the 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.640 other side, your calls coming up as well, and an 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.040 investigative report with John Solomon. Straight ahead, all right, we 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:20.480 continue with Danielle di Martino. He was able to escape 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:25.440 the tyranny, the poverty, the misery that was caused by 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:30.880 the leaders of Venezuela and their radical you know, Marxist, 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:37.080 leftist communist, statist socialist policies that impoverished an entire nation 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:39.880 which should be one of the richest nations on earth. 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.640 You know, you go into great specificity in detail. I'm 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.560 going to put the article that you wrote about this 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.760 about how as a student, for example, you know, when 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.360 you were nine years old, you didn't understand why you 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.959 didn't have milk at home, you didn't have shampoo at home, 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.959 you didn't have chicken or bread at home, and how 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.760 things got progressively worse, and you know was the years 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.640 you know passed on. You try to buy lunch and 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:08.800 and panada for example, you know, you paid a buck 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.160 and then the next thing you know, you're paying twenty, 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.640 then one hundred, then a thousand and ten thousand, and 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:18.960 then much higher than that. And now inflation, you know, skyrocketed, 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.439 you know, fifty million percent. 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:22.479 It was insane. 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.679 In this Cooo cafeteria. The owner that that worked at 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.120 he used to lend us money to the kids when 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.040 we didn't bring cash, and then we could repay him 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:34.920 a few days later when our parents gave us the 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.040 cash to repay him. And you know, he would trust 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.160 the people who will repay. The problem became that inflation 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.960 was so high prices changed daily that he had to 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.880 stop lending kids money because the money would lose its 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:50.000 value by the day. So we couldn't even do that. 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.040 And then the problem was you had to pay in 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.800 cash because the machine to read the credit card didn't 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.400 work because it was all important parts. There were no 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:03.080 dollars because the government destroyed exports, and so the consequence 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:04.880 was that you had to bring in a ton of 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.079 cash in your backpack because you would have. 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.320 Fit in your pocket a ton of cash and just 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.920 to buy lunch. Unbelievable. We're going to put this on 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:14.840 Hannity dot com. 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:19.720 Daniel DiMartino, uh, we thank you for being a truth teller. 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:29.360 I hope Americans that are buying the big lie of Marxism, statism, socialism, redistributionism, 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.920 I hope they hear your tell because it always ends 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.760 the same way, the way you used to live. 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:38.760 And we're glad you here. 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.880 We wish you the best, and glad you got a 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.120 college education and your life is moving in the right direction. 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:46.920 We appreciate your time, my friend. 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.200 Thank you so much.

Eight hundred and ninety 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.920 four one show number. I'll talk to the President about 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:02.440 this tonight. 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:10.560 Mold inspired Solutions for America. This is the Sean Hannity Show. Okay. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:14.600 So we had Reza Pavlavi, the son of the Shah 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.680 of Iran who's deposed in nineteen seventy nine by when 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:21.080 the Ayatola Kamanee who had been in hiding in France 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:26.040 came back to power the Iranium Revolution. And when he 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.880 was on my TV show this week, he pointed out 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.000 how the Iranian regime is close to collapsing. There are 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:38.720 numerous reports out there that Ali Kamani, the Supreme Leader 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:43.920 of Iran, has planned be in place to go to 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.320 Russia and Vladimir Putin. I'm sure with him, he will 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.560 be taking tons of cash of the currency gold, and 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.120 he will pillage the country, just like every other two 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:57.320 bit dictator when they leave the country and flee. But 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:02.560 this is Reza Pavlavi and the son of the former 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.280 shav Iran and what he said to me. 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.200 I launched his campaign about six months ago, we have 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.960 received tens of thousands of applicants who like to join. 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.400 It's not just limited to the military empowermentitary forces shot 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:17.040 it also includes the civil bureaucracy people who are working 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.160 government ministries. All of them be part of the solution 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:24.240 that will end up being this regime. Twist's nas to 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.680 community status and whether he is ready to bail out, 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:30.760 who knows, but either way, the regime is crumbling and 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.000 it is very close to collapsing. 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.360 And reports of a number of cities now that the 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:41.400 protesters have completely taken over, reports that police have laid 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.320 down their arms and are standing in solidarity with the protesters. 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.760 The crowds get bigger and bigger. There has been some deaths, 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:53.280 at least thirty seven the last count I saw people 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:57.280 protesting that have been gunned down on the streets of Iran. 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:02.880 Joining us now is a mere fraquavar. Now he's teaching 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:07.520 constitutional law and he's the author of the best seller 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:13.600 Comrade Ayatola also the National Iranian Congress Senate chairman, and 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.520 he really has an insider's perspective on what's happening on 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:20.760 the ground in Iran. And you know, once the president 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.800 of the student organization he founded. He led the movement 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:29.280 in Iran before he was captured himself in prison for 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:33.040 five years, and part of that time was spent in 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.359 one of Iran's most notorious prisons, Evan Prison is what 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:41.480 it's called, some of the time in solitary confinement. Thankfully, 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.960 now he's in the US. He's leading the charge, helping 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.960 people on the ground in Iran find their voice and 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:54.320 hopefully freedom and the days of this horrific terrorist regime 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.200 will come to an end. We welcome to the program. 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:01.400 Amir Faquavar is with us. Thanks for being here. I'm 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.080 sorry about all that you've been through in your life, 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:08.119 but admire your steadfast courage and commitment to liberty and freedom. 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:11.520 Thank you, Sean, thank you for having me. And let's 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:15.160 say happy New Year, and it's a year of celebration 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:17.840 for United States. Jean, I have been with you eight 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:23.160 years ago January second or third, and I remember when 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.560 at that time we started this revolution which you are 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:33.320 seeing the fourth phase of that revolution. Back then, it 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:37.200 was the first time the people, the new generation came 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.200 to street in Iran for the first time. We didn't 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:44.320 hear the chance Alohakbar. We didn't hear any chance Islamic 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.399 chance because a new generation they decided to get rid 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.720 of Islam, to get rid of Quran, and Iran is 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:56.520 going back to its roots, the actual ancient persion, and 0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.159 we want to go back there. At that time you 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.200 told me, Sean, and you are a genius. You told 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:06.840 me how because we were fooled by the George Sources organization. 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:10.320 They were telling us the revolution should be peaceful, non 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.719 violent movements, and you told me. I was on your 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:15.560 show and you said, Amir, how you want to win 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.440 a revolution without a weapon. You were right. 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:22.159 Well, I've often said, and I know I'm right. I 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:24.520 wish I was wrong, but I've often said, you don't 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:29.160 win revolutions with sling shots. It doesn't work that way exactly. 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:33.640 And we experienced that. We have seen it. You said 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:36.560 in that show eight years ago, you said, if we 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:39.840 want to do peaceful revolution, regime will go for the 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.240 mass murdering the kids in the streets. 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:43.560 And regime did it. 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:48.560 Two years later, we had the mass murdering in street 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:52.280 in two hundred cities in Iran. And yes it happened. 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.800 It was led by custom soul money and thanks to 0:19:55.160 --> 0:20:00.280 President Trump. Probably forty days later President Trump still Atome 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:03.560 sole money. And it was a great retaliation for the 0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:08.040 Iranian people. And it was the second phase of our revolution. 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:10.840 Back then when Masa Amini was killed, it was the 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.600 third phase of the revolution, and now it's the fourth. 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:17.440 And the beauty of this revolution is we are not 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:21.400 going to have another absolute power. 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:23.480 We are not going to have supreme leader. We don't 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:25.600 want to have king, we don't want to have any 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:30.440 of these things. You had your the greatest revolution in 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:32.280 United States two hundred and fifty. 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.399 Years ago when you got rid of the absolute power 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:40.480 and you decided to go for the republic, the constitutional republic. 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.200 This is the thing right now in Iran. We want 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:45.280 to do that. This is the one hundred and twenty 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:50.280 twentieth anniversary of the first constitutional revolution in Iran. Maybe 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.240 your audience they don't know about that. At this one 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:57.640 hundred and twentieth anniversary of our constitutional revolution. We want 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:01.480 to have exactly the same as the same as American 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:04.879 founding fathers. We want to have a constitution in power. 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:06.080 And yeah, the. 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:09.320 Monarchists, they have thirty percent of the support inside the country. 0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:12.919 The Son of the Show has thirty percent of the support, 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:16.120 but seventy percent of the country they want the Republic 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.679 of Iran. We are fighting for it. We are fighting 0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:23.399 all of us together, fighting against the regime. You mentioned 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:24.720 my book, Conradoretolo. 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:26.600 In my book, I. 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:31.960 Revealed that Iranian Supreme Leader have been an agent of KGB, 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:36.840 have been under training since nineteen sixty four to nineteen 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:40.560 sixty eight, before the so called Islamic Revolution in Iran 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:44.199 and nineteen seventy nine. Iran was not an Islamic revolution. 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:47.600 It was a Russian coup TETA. It's the biggest secret. 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:50.360
