IRAN DEAL: A Repeat Of Obama's Errors In The Middle East | Rudy Giuliani | Ep. 115

Welcome.
This is Rudy Giuliani with Rudy's Common Sense.
Today's episode is going to concern a subject of grave importance to the United States, one that we've been involved with now for many, many decades, and one in which I have the feeling we're going through deja vu all over again.
Now what's that?
Déjà vu all over again is the expression and great comment of a famous American philosopher named Lawrence Peter Barra, otherwise known as Yogi Barra.
And you'll see why this is déjà vu all over again in a moment, because it feels like we're back somewhere in the time of 2015, 2016, 2017, when Obama was begging the reign of terror, which is what I call the Iranian regime, to make a deal Over nuclear weapons, no matter what the deal contained, or no matter how much money he had to give the terrorist regime.
And he did make a deal that gave them a path to becoming a nuclear power, and also gave them billions of dollars, much of which they used to murder people, which I never understood.
And some of it he gave to them, over a billion dollars was flown in an airplane overnight in cash.
Why you'd want to review that history is hard to understand, but from what everything I can tell in reading from the newspapers, well, first of all, John Kerry apparently for the last three, four years, Has been telling the Iranians, his good friends in Iran, that they should outweigh Trump, because if there were a Democratic administration, particularly his good friend Joe Biden, you know, they would get everything they want, all the concessions that they wanted, they would get.
That Biden, I guess, would be equally as submissive.
And equally as weak as Obama was in giving Iran everything that it wanted.
So don't, you know, just bear out this Trump guy and, you know, we'll be back and we'll be allies and Israel and Saudi Arabia and the southern part of the Middle East will be our enemies again.
Now, there's no question that Obama Blinken, the whole group of regime of terror appeasers are getting ready to negotiate, and they're certainly making it clear that they're not going to ask for any concessions.
It's just like the last time.
I mean, Iran gives up nothing, but they wait.
That's it.
But they get plenty of money while they're waiting.
And the ayatollah is acting like, maybe I want to negotiate and maybe I don't.
And it's really amazing how Obama gets out and negotiated.
I mean, the statement that Gates made about him, his co-cabinet member under Obama, he said about Biden that he's never made the right decision on foreign policy in his entire career.
Really true.
I mean, he couldn't negotiate a status of forces agreement with Iraq, which cost us Iraq and gave Iran Iraq almost as a surrogate state.
He and Obama couldn't do much about Assad.
Every time the red line was crossed, Obama would say do something he didn't.
And after 12 times, Obama invited Russia in.
So Russia will be the beneficiary now of all these mistakes that we're making.
But now it looks like, I mean, the handwriting is on the wall.
I mean, this mistake was made once.
We're going to make it again.
They are being given every assurance that they're going to get everything they want, that the sanctions are going to be removed or lessened, and that they're going to get cash as part of this deal.
This is very, very different than it was back then, even.
I mean, the only thing the same is, understand that the regime running Iran is not what it appears to be.
It's not the parliament and Rouhani, the so-called prime minister.
It's an Islamic republic.
It's a religious-dominated republic.
It's run by their chief cleric.
So this is like an absolute monarchy with the extra ingredient that it is fueled by religious fanaticism and it's a truly, truly homicidal regime.
There's so much blood on their hands, I mean, you can't get past that.
They've killed probably I don't know if they've killed more people than anyone else over the last period of time, but they've certainly killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of their own people and other people.
They've killed Americans and killed Americans in Iraq and elsewhere.
And they're not where they were back then.
Despite that, Trump's maximum pressure policy will be substituted with what is clearly Biden's maximum concession policy.
Sanctions relief probably should only occur if there's actual progress in Iran.
They've made it clear there'll be no preconditions to sanctions relief.
Pretty clear they're going to go by the Obama playbook of turning a blind eye to all the regional aggression they're involved in, all of the supporting of terrorism they're involved in.
They will give them a good deal of money.
That has always struck me as being complicit in terrorism.
You're giving money to the nation that is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism.
So what do you think they're using their money for?
Huh?
Does it make any sense?
You're giving them the money to kill people.
How you can even square that with your conscience, if you have one, is beyond me.
You know they're using this money to kill people.
They used Obama's money to kill people.
We know that now.
And in all of this desire for negotiations, we don't hear anything about any concessions being put on the table.
To slow down their support of terrorism, nothing to improve the lot of their people, nothing about spending more of their money to help their people.
It's just, let's make an agreement.
And there's pretty clear there'll be a $5 billion international monetary fund loan given to Iran if this deal is made.
So there's a nice bunch of change for terrorists.
There'll be no accountability attached because it never has been.
I mean, when you deliver a billion dollars in cash in an airplane in the middle of the night, it shows you don't think much of accountability.
Looks like in exchange for it, we'll double cross our allies in Yemen and see what we can do to
take the Houthis off the terrorist list, again, to ingratiate ourselves and appease Iran.
In 2017, everything they did just fueled terrorism.
Hezbollah grew and grew and grew as the U.S.
efforts against Hezbollah lessened.
Because they wanted to impress Iran.
Hezbollah grew and grew and grew.
We were able to accomplish nothing in Syria except the unbelievably damaging bringing in of Russia and the loss of any credibility by drawing a red line as to the use of chemical weapons and not crossing it.
And we couldn't target Syria because it would have irritated Iran.
And we wanted an agreement so badly, which is where we are right now.
This is why it's déjà vu.
All over again.
Some indications of it.
The last couple of days there have been attacks by Iran.
There was a rocket that landed near the U.S.
Embassy complex in Baghdad, known as the Green Czar, last Monday.
This is the third barrage against U.S.
coalition positions in Iraq over the last week or two.
And it came right next to the U.S.
Embassy.
And that's only two days after a four-rocket barrage hit Balad Air Base, north of Baghdad, and another one in Erbil.
Three.
We didn't lash out.
We're... We're looking at it.
Boy, what a signal that we're willing to... We're willing to kneel down.
Please, Ayatollah.
Please, please.
Uncle Joe needs the agreement.
You know, and get it done fast, because he can't stay up late.
And don't make it too long, because he can't read a lot.
Wow, they must think they've... They must think that they've really struck it rich with this administration.
I mean, they got Kerry there with them, who's been promising,
promising this all during the Trump era? Unbelievable for them. So
this is so clearly a repeat of Obama's failures in the Middle East
that this is not just going to be a question of, you know, who lost a ranch?
Jimmy Carter lost Iran.
We know that, right?
And who gave up Syria to Russia?
Well, that was Obama.
So who We'll have lost Israel as a friend of the United States.
Obama came real close.
Biden's going to seal the deal.
We'll be back very shortly.
I accomplished a lot in 2020 exposing the truth, establishing the relationship with you, working tirelessly for America.
And I came to know the work and value of the people at American Hartford Gold.
You see, you buy gold not only for what you know, but you buy gold for what you don't know.
American Hartford Gold is the company you can trust when it comes to buying gold.
They sell physical gold and silver delivered right to your door or inside of your IRA.
In the precious metals industry, they are the highest rated firm in our country with an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau and thousands of satisfied clients.
Give them a call and tell them Rudy sent you.
And be sure to ask them what I bought.
And if you call them right now, they will give you up to $1,500 of free silver on your first order.
Folks, these are uncertain times.
The one thing you can count on to protect what you have worked so hard for is physical gold and silver.
So don't wait.
Call them now.
Call 833-GOLD-777.
That's 833-GOLD-777.
Or text Rudy to 65532.
Again, that's 833-GOLD-777.
833-GOLD-777, or text RUDY to 65532.
Again, that's 833-GOLD-777, or text RUDY to 65532.
Thank you for returning, and we'll go back to our narrative.
Thanks.
Prime Minister Netanyahu has made clear to everyone that the state of Iran is an existential threat to the state of Israel.
And when people look at him and he says that, and when the left-wing press, which has become more and more irresponsible than ever, listens to it, they think he's a warmonger.
All he's doing is listening to what the Ayatollah and Rouhani are saying about wanting to destroy the state of Israel and about their plans to destroy the state of Israel.
Shouldn't he take them seriously?
Or is he going to be like a weak leader?
Like Chamberlain was in England when he didn't take Hitler seriously, or like Obama, who didn't take Iran seriously and then gave them billions that ended up in murdering people.
So this will mean that, um, yeah, we'll be losing Israel as a friend, Saudi Arabia as a friend.
We're going to lose the Middle East.
We're going to have a role there.
We've ceded it to Russia.
Russia is sitting there.
Saying, Joe, this will get landed to the list that Gates has that you've never been right about foreign policy, but this will be one of the big ones.
Henry Kissinger describes this whole agreement thing as a glide path to a nuclear weapon.
Why we want to put nuclear weapons in the hands of a terrorist state run by a religious fanatic is logically Irresponsible, isn't it?
Isn't it a question of logic and not politics?
Iran sponsors terrorism.
Iran kills innocent people.
Iran has killed many Americans.
Iran wants to destroy the state of Israel.
And they're the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world, which means they give money to terrorists.
If you give Iran money, you're giving money to terrorists.
Right?
Right.
That doesn't get through?
Things are different now.
That's why this is not necessary.
Trump totally revised the situation in the Middle East.
The Abraham Accords, which I guess almost began with the movement of the embassy, which is not going to be touched, but the Abraham Accords set up a peace relationship in the Middle East between Israel and the Arab countries.
And a lot of that is based on their mutual concern about Iranian hegemony and Iran trying to create a
Shiite empire, really, north of them, that would involve Iran, Iraq, Syria, and of course help
from Russia, China, and any other countries that could work into that as their
allies.
As that was developing and Obama was around, This whole situation of a better friendship between Israel, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Bahrain, always been pretty good with Egypt and Jordan, really emerged.
And I remember someone at the heyday of the discussions over the first totally irresponsible deal that Obama negotiated, I remember someone saying that, Israel and others in the Southern Middle East realized that they weren't in such bad shape as they have the United States.
They still had the strongest army in the region, Israel, the second strongest army, Egypt, and the wealthiest country, Saudi Arabia, as well as some other pretty wealthy countries and capable countries.
That's quite a coalition.
But if we let this happen and we have them moving toward nuclear weapons, I don't know how long Saudi Arabia stays without nuclear weapons.
I mean, sure, they can count on their allies, but you have to defend a country and you got your mortal enemy with going toward nuclear weapons and you're not going to do something about it?
It would seem to me you are.
I do think this will edge Saudi Arabia to open relations with Israel.
We'll see Saudi Arabia pretty soon in the same position that we saw Bahrain and Dubai and the Emirates.
They're there off the record anyway.
So, the Middle East will be too.
Alliances, and it looks like we're closer to the Northern Alliance, which involves Iran, Syria, Iraq, Russia, and to some extent, China.
Now that's, I mean, this really takes no brains to do this.
I mean, or take some kind of a perverse something or other.
I mean, your predecessor had changed the world there.
First of all, immediately he came in.
You weren't really sanctioning Iran.
You weren't.
You said you were, but you weren't.
You lied.
You know I know that?
Because the minute Trump came in, they started starving.
They weren't starving before Trump came in.
They aren't in the situation they're in now.
Those sanctions, those sanctions, in about four or five months, Trump hit them with real sanctions, real, real sanctions.
And he showed support for their resistance movement.
You turned your back on the resistance movement.
An American turning back, turning their back on a movement that wants freedom and democracy?
Boy, I'll tell you what, Obama, you don't know Ronald Reagan.
I don't know what you are.
But I mean, I mean, they had a protest while you were there.
You turned your back on them.
You turned your back on people who want democracy in favor of a dictatorial, homicidal regime, the regime of terror.
That's a fanatical Islamic regime with a complete nut job running it, an insane man running it.
You turn your back on those people who want just some basic freedoms, not being shot in the street?
No wonder you were one of the worst presidents on our history.
And your friend here seems to want to emulate you.
But things, because of what Trump did, which is to have real sanctions, and to really hit them hard in a smart way, he's created chaos there.
Half of Iranians have fallen into poverty.
And it remains that way.
This is an article that goes back to October 8th of 2020.
Half of Iranians living in poverty.
Half of Iranians have fallen into poverty after a rapid increase in the cost of basic items in recent months.
70% of ordinary workers could afford only 33% of their basic needs.
Their average wage per month?
It's equal to $100.
That means they make $1,200 a year.
Iran's economy has been in recession since United States sanctions.
That's since Trump.
You weren't being subsidized.
Your terrorism wasn't being subsidized by Obama and Biden.
Iran's economy has been in recession since United States sanctions slashed oil exports from 2.6 barrels a day in early 2018 to perhaps a few hundred thousand today.
Then there's been a tenfold decline in the value of the Iranian Rial.
The inflation Who knows.
They say 35 percent.
Others say 50.
International Monetary Fund says between 33 and 41 percent.
Outside observers say 60 percent.
Here's the point.
The inflation, the poverty level is at revolutionary numbers, the kinds of numbers where people revolt.
So you say, well, is Iran very peaceful?
I mean, wouldn't it be better for the United States?
I mean, wouldn't it be better for the world if the Ayatollah went away?
Is there anybody that doubts that except Obama and Biden?
Wouldn't it be better if Iran were not ruled by a homicidal religious dictator?
Wouldn't it be better if, during the course of these protests I'm going to outline for you in a moment, thousands and thousands weren't shot in the street?
I mean, how many more than that have they killed over the years since they took over?
I mean, they went through a phase in three years where they killed a million of their own people.
They killed a lot of other people, too.
I mean, they're murderers!
You hear religious and you hear Mueller.
Please, I hear organized crime.
Ayatollah is the boss, the mullahs are the captains in the regimes.
They're all rich!
Please understand that!
These aren't clerics who are—it isn't like the poor little Franciscan priest, or the Protestant missionary, or the poor Orthodox rabbi who's taking care of his congregation, or a lot of the poor imams who take care of the poor people in Muslim countries.
These are wealthy gangsters!
Stop the religion thing!
Ayatollah is one of the wealthiest men in the world!
I can't say if a man believes in God or not, but I can sure tell you he's one of the wealthiest men in the world, and if he does believe in God, it's a strange God because he's killed thousands of his own people.
Strange interpretation of God, isn't it?
Here's what I want to put on the table.
The Iranian people keep showing their desire for freedom.
Why would you think Iranian people are different than any other people?
Why would you think that they wouldn't desire freedom of religion, freedom of press, freedom to marry, freedom to travel, freedom to be in business, freedom to have your own political opinions?
Of course they have.
They're human beings.
They're great human beings.
The Persian Empire was a glory to the world.
The Persian Empire contributed so much.
These are cultured people with a civilization that's enviable and a pride.
If you meet the Iranians in the Diaspora, They're all successful people, relatively successful or very successful, and they're prideful, educated, good people.
Really good people.
That's what makes up Iran.
With an Ayatollah and the Mullahs and the excessive Islamic religion interpretation, which is an excuse for being a gangster, a dictator, like we have in China with the Chinese Communist Party.
Look at the protests.
2016.
Now is a good time to take a short break.
You never thought COVID could cost you your home, right?
You're just right, because cybercrime is up 75%.
And by far, the most serious cybercrime to worry about is home title theft.
That's right.
Cybercriminals, foreign and domestic, are now after our homes, and it's easier than you think.
The title documents to our homes are online now.
The thief finds your home's title and forges your signature on a quitclaim deed, stating you sold your home to him.
Then he takes out loans on your home, and he leaves you in debt.
You won't know until late payment or eviction notices arrive.
Insurance doesn't cover you, and neither do common identity theft programs.
That's why I protect my home with Home Title Lock.
The Instant Home Title Lock detects someone tampering with my home's title.
They help shut it down.

Welcome back, and let's take a look at how Iran has changed so much with these revolutions that have taken place.
They haven't succeeded, but they have all the markings of a revolution.
The first one was in 2016.
It was called the Cyrus the Great Revolt, and it took place at the tomb of Cyrus the Great on Cyrus the Great Day.
And it was triggered largely by government corruption.
And by what I was telling you about who these mullahs are, and I mean, you should realize when you hear religious leader, you may have a different concept.
This is not like our priests and ministers and rabbis and imams or even the ones in poor countries or foreign countries.
These people are wealthy people and they embrace homicide.
So they're not really religious people.
It's phony.
It's a phony ideology used to enslave a people.
With America's support, or with Democrats in America's support.
And a lot of money from Biden and Obama when they sent the money over in cash.
So, this was 2016.
This is one of those that Obama turned his back on.
The people protested.
The people protested.
The Iranian government responded.
They jailed the event organizers and protesters.
They banned Cyrus the Great celebrations forever and ever.
And it was the largest up to that point since the 2009 Iranian presidential elections.
And they had chants back then like, Iran is our country.
Cyrus is our father.
The clerical rule is synonymous with tyranny and war.
Happy birthday, O Prince!
They were referring to the Shah's son.
So these were pretty challenging statements to be made when you know you can lose your life for it, and some did.
So that was put down.
Then in 2019, in November 2019, There was the bloody November Revolt.
And the bloody November Revolt took place because of the high prices in gasoline, up by 50% to 200%.
And it called for, this time, the overthrow of the regime, of Ali Khamenei, of Rouhani.
And it spread to 21, 22 cities within hours.
It was, in fact, the most violent and severe anti-government unrest since the late 1970s.
And the government really had to strike back on this one.
This lasted for about six or seven days.
They cut out the internet.
They shot protesters from rooftops, from helicopters at close range with machine gun fire in the street.
The religious leader, the great religious leader of Iran, murdered about 1,500 of his people.
This is something that Shah wouldn't do.
But they put it down, they put it down with violence, with the kind of violence that dictators and despots use, not religious leaders, and they thought that was going to be the end of it.
They thought that was going to be the end of it.
No, no, no.
All of a sudden, All of a sudden, in 2018, it started up again.
Strikes, protests against the government all over the country.
100, 200 different cities.
And the strikes start to broaden.
They're not just now based on politics or corruption of the ayatollah or corruption of the mullahs.
They start to deal with With the way of life.
Because we have a different president, we have a different approach, we have America putting pressure on them instead of patting them on the back.
We have an American president supporting the people who are seeking freedom, not turning his back on them.
And it leads to protests that go on and on and on.
2017 to 2018.
2017 to 2018, 2018 to 2019 strikes and protests.
And during this period of time, they become really, really aggressive.
You know, they murder a lot in their country.
Going out of your country and doing murder is a really, really dangerous thing.
And particularly if you're going to countries that are kind of like being easy on you or basically being accommodating and appeasing you.
Didn't stop them from sending Iranian diplomats to Albania from as way back as 2014 to set up intelligence operations and operations where they could kill people.
Well, one of the people that they wanted to kill was me.
Would you like to know why I have a personal stake in this?
Because they tried to kill me twice.
The first time, the first time was in March of 2018.
And it was a, Islamic New Year celebration in Albania at the camp for the Iranian dissidents who were taken in by Eddie Rama, who is the prime minister, and the government of Albania.
And several of the Iranian operatives were arrested with an aborted scheme by two alleged Iranian members of the Revolutionary Guard's Quds Force.
And it was going to be an explosive attack against the base of the Mujahideen al-Khalq, MEK.
And it was going to be at the time, it was going to be at the time that we were holding a celebration for Islamic New Year.
And I was there, several other Americans were there.
And the person they wanted to kill was Madame Miriam Rajavi, who is the interim or acting president of the MEK and the NCRI, which they will now admit, the Iranians will now admit, is the strongest group and the only group that would have a chance to govern should they be overthrown.
So they tried to take her out.
They had actually tried to take out other members, even in the United States, both earlier and later that year.
And they were attempting to do it while I was there for the celebration or during the celebration.
And I was with her constantly during the celebration.
So I don't know, maybe I shouldn't take it personally.
Maybe they were really just after Madame Rajavi, who is a remarkable, remarkable hero and great woman and is the core of this movement.
But they were stopped.
And then there were other parts they were caught for.
And eventually the prime minister of Albania did something that some of these others should do.
He threw out the ambassador.
He threw out the Iranian ambassador.
Basically said, you're not going to kill people on my soil.
What are you?
You know what they are?
They're homicidal maniacs.
That's what they are.
And everybody should treat them the way Eddie Rama treated them.
But that didn't stop them.
A few months later, we had a tremendous gathering of 100,000 people in Paris outside Right outside the area where the airport is, in this great, great big park.
We have that, meaning MEK has that, and NCRI has that, and the other Iranian groups have that gathering just about every year at that time, usually in Paris.
The year after it happened in Albania, but usually in Paris, because it holds so many people.
Anywhere from 75,000 to 100,000 people come for the weekend.
And it shows the strength of the opposition.
Belittled by the left-wing press, belittled by the Iranian-American appeasers, but not belittled by the numbers that you see, not belittled by the fear that the Ayatollah has in them.
He's the one group that he kills on sight, and now he's giving speeches explaining how powerful they are.
And then we have these American liberals who say they're not powerful, but the Ayatollah says they are, and Rouhani says they are.
So there's this great gathering in Paris.
I'm looking at a picture of me.
I think I see Elliot Richardson.
I know I see Newt Gingrich there.
I think I see Mr. Harper, the former Prime Minister of Canada, Judge Mukasey, the former head of the FBI, Louis Freeh, a couple of retired generals.
We had this probably one of our most successful gatherings.
This was after the whole approach of our government had turned to being friends with Israel and friends with Saudi Arabia and opposed to Iran, unlike the other way around where Israel and Saudi Arabia had to wonder if America was an ally and Iran didn't.
So it was a rather hopeful gathering, and the protests were continuing, so you still felt this sense that any day something could happen.
And we all woke up the next morning and we found out that a group was arrested, and they were arrested with 500 grams of TATP, with powerful and other explosives, with a detonator inside their Mercedes car, And that there were four of them.
They were all Iranian, but at least two of them were connected with the Iranian diplomatic service, and one of them, a very high-ranking one, named Asadullah Asadi, who was also an intelligence agent and had been in Austria since 2014.
They're going to come and kill us, blow us up in France.
Now, Macron had a strong reaction to it, and they got tried, and they got tried, I believe, I tried in France or Germany and Assad, he got 20 years just recently.
He got 20 years for this.
But I didn't see the reaction that I thought I should have seen from Europe.
Not sure I even saw from our government.
I mean, they were going to try to kill some pretty famous Americans.
And if I wasn't, you know, significant enough, I don't know, Elliot Richardson, Newt, The former head of the FBI, the former Attorney General, United States District Judge, Prime Minister of Canada.
He should have gotten more attention.
But, you know, it's like we have in the United States domestically this double standard.
Iran gets protected by the left-wing press.
This is time to take a short break.

Just go to amac.us forward slash Rudy.
That's amac.us forward slash Rudy.
The benefits of AMAC membership are great.
Thank you for coming back.
I don't know why.
There's nothing about Iran that's, nothing about the regime of terror that's at all appealing.
They're just straight out maniacal terrorists.
The only thing appealing is they oppose the United States.
Well, France makes it clear that Iran did it, and They make it clear with a joint statement immediately, a planned bomb attack was foiled at Villapant on June 30th.
This extremely serious attack was to take place on our territory.
It cannot go without a response.
Well, the response was the response was the prosecution, not a military response of any kind.
Mr. Assadi and Mr. Saeed Hashemi Mohdam, Iranian nationals, as well as the international security director of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence, were involved, according to the French.
This is what the French decided.
And then just Just recently, when the case was tried, it was made clear that the people behind this, that it went much further, that it went much further than just Assad.
In fact, just a day ago or two, there was a demonstration in Belgium.
During the demonstration, one of the parliamentarians gave a statement and released a report showing
that Saudullah Assadi, the high-ranking Iranian diplomat, was, according to the judge in the
case, involved with some of the highest-level Iranians in making the decision to do this.
Those high-ranking Iranians included the Ayatollah, who was apprised of this,
Rouhani, who was apprised of this.
Rouhani, remember, is the reform prime minister.
He's going to make everything sweet and nice and nobody's going to do any bad things to anyone.
Actually, he's had more people killed than any other prime minister.
I believe that was correct.
believe that was correct.
And it also involved Gerard Zarif and Mohamed Alavi.
So who are they?
The foreign minister is Jihad Zarif, and the minister of intelligence is Mohamed Alavi.
According to the court, they approved this plan.
And this demonstration is to try to prevent a meeting, a virtual meeting, between the
1st and the 3rd of March, in which the EU is going to meet with these murderers.
Thank you.
to discuss, you know, how Iran should be treated better.
You don't meet with murderers.
This is all convincing Iran they're going to get anything they want out of Biden and the Iranian-loving regime that he's brought in.
But it hasn't stopped the protests.
I mean, it began in 2016 with Cyrus the Great revolt.
Then we had the protests in 2017, 2018.
in 2017, 2018. Then we had the strikes and protests in 2018 and 2019. And you don't read
about them much anymore, but I'm going to take you right up to the current day.
Okay, right up to 28th of January, 2021.
This is one of the dozen cities in Iran where they were chanting, we will get our rights back, only on the streets.
You die doing this in Iran.
Do you know what that means?
You hold up a sign that says down with Rouhani, you don't get a trial.
Do you know the courage that it takes to do that?
Do you know the desperation that creates that?
They do.
We don't.
And our American media doesn't cover it.
Just like they don't cover two-thirds of the truth.
I do not understand why we wouldn't find a group of Iranians who have been imprisoned, murdered, tortured, waterboarded, had their property taken from them, thrown out of their country, and the ones that are left behind are treated in the most horrible and inhumane way, and we can't sympathize with them?
We sympathize with the Ayatollah and with Rouhani because Democrats like them?
Because Obama was foolish enough to bow down to them?
And because Biden is foolish enough to beg them for an agreement?
Biden has never been right!
And that was before he had this illness.
But why can't we sympathize with these people?
Why can't we show this?
Why can't we show these demonstrations?
They happen almost, I wouldn't say every day, they happen almost every week.
I've seen people holding signs that say, would you buy my internal, I'll give you my kidney, give me 500 bucks.
This is now spread.
To the entire, almost every city in Iran has had protests and people murdered for it.
Here's one on January 28th, 12 cities.
When people go to the market, they can hardly afford three pounds or three ounces of fruit
with a hundred thousand tomans.
They can't buy food.
In such a situation, they become angry actors in facing the system, says Vatan I. Emroz daily.
The fear of what's going to happen is there with the regime, and we should understand it and take advantage of it.
As the state run daily, Yamhouri Eslami wrote, this is a statement, we should fear the ends and they overrun the regime.
We're discounting it!
They're not.
Don't we have to report that?
This is our biggest enemy Yeah, probably our biggest enemy.
They've killed more Americans than anyone else I can think of.
That's our enemy right now.
The Chinese are getting there.
Here's a protest now, we go to even more current.
February 15th, 2021.
This is Sunday morning.
A dozen cities across Iran once again.
Deprived retirees and pensioners.
In cities like Nashapur, Shiraz, Azav, Elam, Yaz and Iraq.
We will not relent until we get our rights.
Only in the streets can we fix this.
The poverty line is 12 million tomans.
Our salary is 3 million tomans.
One of them was in front of the parliament.
The regime tried to suppress this.
They couldn't.
And then they had rallies the next day as well.
This is going on in Iran right now.
The people of Iran are trying to overthrow their dictatorial, homicidal government.
Here's another article, this time the 22nd of February, the official, real birthday of George Washington.
And this says, Roundup of Iran protests by all walks of life.
On Sunday, hundreds of retirees and pensioneers Living on Social Security.
This is their third consecutive week.
They were protesting.
They chanted, we won't rest until we get our rights.
The pension fund has been plundered.
Also on Sunday, a group of HEPCO workers held a protest in Iraq near the local branch of the Social Security organization.
And in front of a heavy equipment production company who owes them money and isn't paying them.
On Sunday, a group of school guardians protested in front of the parliament because they haven't been paid and they want to be paid.
Simultaneously, right nearby were a group of contract teachers.
And then on February 21st, the day before, emergency personnel protested.
Doctors protested.
And then on Friday, a group from an area called Kashko, Gorankesh, and Pani In the Dastyari province held a rally because of the occupation of their ancestral agricultural lands, basically being stolen from them by the crooked Ayatollahs and Mullahs.
On Thursday, a group of workers near Tehran held a large demonstration demanding their delayed wages.
And then on Tuesday, another group of contract teachers.
And then on Tuesday, a little later, preschool teachers!
These protests, it says, demonstrate Iran's explosive state.
All problems will open their mouths at one time, and on the day when they take society and the workers, it's over, and their patience is exhausted.
This is what a state newspaper, I believe, Concluded.
The regime is worried it's going to be overthrown.
And we are going to give it an agreement that gives it new life.
A regime that has killed countless Americans, that has killed countless innocent people, that has slaughtered more of its own people, I don't know, maybe Assad has done more.
Probably in a short time, but over a period of all these years, Iran and the Ayatollahs have killed so many people, it's incalculable.
I have books and pictures of people.
I've met so many of the families that have been destroyed by them.
And now we get a conviction of one of their highest levels people who was going to come to Paris and kill Me, Mrs. Rajavi, Newt Gingrich, Elliot Richardson, Michael Mukasey, Louis Free, and then a number of very, very distinguished, if I'm not or we're not, a number of very distinguished other people.
And we're all there for the freedom of the Iranian people.
It's a great thing.
It's a great thing in your life if you have the opportunity to support freedom for people.
Probably the greatest thing you can do.
It's like a blessing from God that you're given the opportunity to do that.
These are good people and they're being tortured.
And they're people that can make a difference in the world.
And then again, we can't get involved in all these, but this directly affects the United States.
These people killed Americans.
There are families in our country whose sons and daughters are gone.
Who don't have their arms and legs, maybe their sons and daughters.
Because of Soleimani, to thank God, over the objection of Biden, or criticism of Biden, Trump took out.
Slowed them down.
Trump really had them on the run.
You don't have all these protests if you're not on the run.
Let's keep the pressure up.
This agreement should not happen.
This agreement, we should insist, has to be approved by the Congress, by the Senate.
Take it to court if we have to.
But it is déjà vu all over again.
I mean, Trump had to straighten this out.
This will make the world so much more dangerous.
And to have the prospect of a religious homicidal maniac, religious Uh, maniac with his finger on the button.
The greatest, the greatest fear that Ronald Reagan had about nuclear assured destruction was that someday an unstable, insane person would have his finger near the button.
And we did it once.
We had a road tour of the Ayatollah getting his finger on that button.
Apparently, Biden wants to do it again.
He has got to be stopped.
Thank you for your attention.
We'll be talking more about this in the future.
I'll be talking about it on my radio show on WABC, 77 WABC, which you can get on wabc.com.
And I will be doing op-ed pieces on this, which you can get on This is a subject we're going to stay very, very close to because we're going to do everything we can to make sure this doesn't happen.
