| I'm sure you have never been asked the following question. | |
| You've been asked many, but I know you haven't been asked this one. | |
| Nevertheless, let me pose it. | |
| This is obviously utterly hypothetical. | |
| It's not even hypothetical because it can't happen. | |
| But if the Iranian people, all, I don't know, is it 60 million? | |
| How many people live in Iran? | |
| Is that about the number? | |
| I think it's 80 million. | |
| 80 million, okay. | |
| If all of those over the age of 18 could vote for the American president, who would they vote for? | |
| Yeah, that's very hypothetical. | |
| Look, what I would say is they might actually vote for Trump right now, given that the Trump administration is pushing back on Iran regionally. | |
| Well, that's why I asked it. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I'm not sure how much they love the man himself, but I think they're very pleased with this foreign policy versus the foreign policy that we saw for the previous eight years. | |
| Right. | |
| In other words, what you're saying to me and my listeners is that between Donald Trump and Barack Obama, more Iranians would favor the current president. | |
| I think that's absolutely correct. | |
| And again, I don't think it has as much to do with this president's personality. | |
| It's irrelevant. | |
| Clearly irrelevant. | |
| Yeah, go on. | |
| Yeah, they are very happy with the fact that this regime is under siege. | |
| They're not happy about the economic situation, but they also understand that under sanctions, the Iranian regime is deferring the pain to the people while enriching themselves. | |
| And this administration here in Washington continues to expose the human rights violations. | |
| They continue to expose the corruption, and they continue to expose the way that Iran is spending its money on foreign adventurism, and that is not resonating with the people. | |
| And it's for that reason that they very much appreciate this administration's Iran policy. | |
| You know, you'll find this of interest, so my listeners, but I know you will. | |
| I flew El Al Airlines from Tehran to Tel Aviv. | |
| That is not surprising. | |
| For your listeners, there's a fascinating picture out there, if they want to Google it, Ezra Weitzman, who was former president of Israel. | |
| It was an American-made jet. | |
| I forget what model it was. | |
| He flew directly to Iran and was met there by the Shah. | |
| And there is this amazing picture of that meeting on the tarmac. | |
| There are all these wonderful stories about how the relationship was just thriving up until 1979 when everything just fell apart. | |
| Exactly. |
