Saddam's Regime And Islamic Empire 00:15:26
Good evening.
This is Rudy Giuliani, and this is America's mayor live from Palm Beach with Washington behind me and Berlin in our sights.
Now, why do I say that?
Because tomorrow, we're going to get up very early.
We get up very early, but usually work, like read, and but we're going to get up very early.
We're going to get all dressed up and we're going to cover the rally that's going to take place in Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate, which is about where President Reagan, my hero, made his famous speech about taking down the wall.
I've been there several times.
It's like a sacred place for me.
And there's going to be a rally of as many of our people.
I say our because I'm part of this and you should know that.
As many of our people who can get in there with the terrible snow that apparently is afflicting Berlin.
Now, this is no excuse at all.
I've been to too many of these rallies of the NCRI and MEK and the related groups to have any doubt about what they can produce.
This would be like, snap your finger, 100,000 people.
What are they demonstrating?
They don't protest.
They don't protest at all.
They never burn anything.
They never hurt anybody.
They don't.
These are not, these are very, very good people.
And they're very good people and they're wonderful people.
And if you can have a part in helping them accomplish what they want to accomplish, it's going to, oh, it's going to be so good for you.
Because they want freedom.
They want freedom.
This is like watching our revolution.
This is like getting a chance to sit there with Thomas Paine and Sam Adams.
They want freedom.
And from a tyrant who, let's face it, is a heck of a lot worse than George III was.
Although, you know, I don't want George III back either.
Just like they shouldn't have to have the crooked Shah back.
So tomorrow they're going to have a very, very big rally.
One of the main parts of the rally is that Madame Rajavi will address them.
And I want you all to see Madame Rajavi and I want you to get to know Madame Rajavi because I know that you will come to the same conclusion that in 15 years of knowing her, I have come to.
She's one of the most remarkable, best people I know.
Just person, intelligent, ready for this mission, better than anyone ever has been and will accomplish it on the scale of General MacArthur transitioning Japan because they've been preparing for it for,
well, for the 15 years I know them and for 46 years.
years before that.
And tomorrow they will get together where they have tremendous support in the European Congress, and they have tremendous support in pretty much in all of Europe.
And they have tremendous support in the United States.
In fact, they have something in the United States that I'm writing down here, bipartisan support.
So I don't know, there won't be many Americans here at this because this is not really an American rally.
But if there were, there'd be an equal number of Democrats and Republicans.
I don't know where you get an equal number of Democrats and Republicans.
You know, it's when they have to sit down with each other on either side of the house.
So tomorrow, starting at 7:30 our time, maybe even a little earlier, there will be a rally on the future of Iran.
And you will hear things that I think are going to make you feel very, very confident that should the president over the next couple of days or beyond that.
Although my feeling, this is my feeling, and it's not based on anything that I can point to solid, except my feeling, is that at some point over this weekend, the United States will deliver a massive blow on the regime of terror,
a blow that's been due for 47 years since what they did to our hostages or what they did to our Marines or what they did to our soldiers in Iraq or what they've done to us as a country or what they've done to the Jewish people or what they've done to our allies,
Israel, or our other allies, or what they've done to the world, and what they want to do in the future.
It's my humble opinion.
And look, it's just my opinion.
And these people accomplished many great things.
And this is just one thing.
But I do feel strongly about it.
So I really feel I should tell you.
I really do think this guy should have been taken out right away.
Right after the hostages were returned, the next thing that we should have done is blown the shit out of him after the way he humiliated the United States of America.
Now, I was part of that administration.
That was not, I was in the Justice Department.
I wasn't in the State Department.
If they had asked me for an opinion, would it have been legal to blow the shit out of the Ayatollah Khomeini?
I would have written one and asked for all the help I could get.
I was in the Justice Department, as I pointed out earlier on the show before this with Nino Scalia and Bob Bork.
We could think maybe we could have done something with that, huh?
But in any event, we let him go.
He killed Marines.
Even President Reagan let him get away with killing Marines.
We spent all that time going after Saddam Hussein.
I'm not, Saddam Hussein was a bad guy.
There were a lot more justifications for all of that than hindsight of history now allows.
But even at the time, I thought, Chief, why don't we do him second?
Why don't we get the Ayatollah first?
Now, it is true the Ayatollah wasn't directly involved in the attack of September 11, but he was directly involved in raising the Islamic, the Islamic jihad to a level that hadn't existed since the Middle Ages or maybe during the Ottoman Empire.
and things like that.
And that had to have had an effect on it.
But it was our really lack of knowledge about Islam that didn't let us see the connections between all these things.
So we went after the wrong guy and we got him in a little hole and we killed him.
And I don't know what kind of an effect it had on the world.
Better that Saddam Hussein is not here, I guess.
Although there was always the feeling as Iran started to take over Iraq in the Biden, in the Obama years, that maybe Saddam was a necessary balance to the pure absolute insanity of the regime of terror,
the two ayatollahs, if we can accomplish this and if we can accomplish regime change in Iran, which I've been in favor of for so long I can't remember when I first said it, probably 08, 09.
something like that, we will change the history of the Middle East.
What President Trump most heartily desires, which is the Abraham Accords spreading out across the entire Middle East, it will happen.
If there isn't in the middle of it an agent designed to stop it because it is committed to the strict word of the Quran, which is to have an Islamic empire rule over all of us, that is what Muhammad instructed his people to do.
Do not be a fool.
Do not be silly and euphemistic.
We don't have the room for with the number of people they kill.
They want to control us.
They want to destroy us when they believe in the pure form of Islam.
They have to, depart from their faith, recategorize those parts of the Quran that call about destroying Christians and Jews and creating an empire in which all of us are submissive or dead if we don't believe in Allah and Muhammad.
That is what the Ayatollah is attempting to do, which is why he has the support that he has in so many parts of the Islamic world, because he's speaking something true in terms of what's in the Quran, which has to be corrected.
And not just you, not just, I mean, there are many, many good Muslims and many good Muslim Quriks and theologians who just ignore that part of it.
But it takes up about half the Quran, so it's pretty hard to ignore about killing us, hating us.
We can't be friends.
And that's what drives Iran.
And so tomorrow, in Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate at that very, very famous historic site where millions of people ultimately were delivered from the tyranny of communism.
Those freedom fighters for freedom in Iran will be there asking for the world support, not asking for troops.
not asking for arms even, asking for our moral support in their effort to become a free people, in their effort to allow women to wear a hijab if they want or not, and not to be stoned or killed or tortured if they wear one, but a little piece of hair comes out.
They are desperately begging us to help us, to help them as we can, appropriate with not getting involved in full wars, but appropriate with that to help them into the 14th century, 15th.
Gosh, maybe we'll let them into the 21st if we really do our job right, huh?
If you're a woman and you don't support this, you have no idea what feminism really means.
You've got some kind of a distorted, sick view of feminism that became almost a sickness for our society and our children.
But if you don't realize the way in which strict Muslim religion treats women and how much of an abomination it is, you're just not honest with yourself.
So you'll see tomorrow a very, very strong woman who has been the leader of this group, the MEK, for 35 years.
And you will also see, because we'll show you, that this is the most feared group by the Ayatollah.
By far and without any doubt, the most feared.
The left-wingers and the people in America that want to continue to keep this thing around, like the Bidens and the Obamas who gave him so much money, will join in the propaganda.
But we have it right from the mouth of the Ayatollah that the most feared group is the MEK.
That's the one you're going to see demonstrating tomorrow.
You're not going to be happy about that demonstration.
So we'll take a break now so that we can organize ourselves and see if we can go to Berlin.
And then we'll be right back and also see what was accomplished today in the discussions that took place, which I think are a massive giveaway as to what is going to happen.
Well, you'll see.
You just come back and we'll take you through it.
Here we are, pretty much at the beginning of the process here at this pristine, I call it a laboratory.
Back To Grain Good 00:02:29
It's not like a factory.
It's like a hospital.
This is the beginning of the process for roasting.
Deep grain, very good quality.
Most people don't use this quality.
We deal with small farmers because they'd like to know who we're dealing with.
They give us the highest quality, all organic, non-GMO.
You should know all Arabica beans.
No Robusto.
All Arabica.
they're gonna go into the roaster and it'll get roasted for about 20 minutes or so oh my goodness Look at these.
My goodness, you're going to want to specially order these.
This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
Are you ready for some action?
I'm ready for action.

Welcome back to America's Mayor Live.
I think maybe on a night in which we are going to not, we're going to talk about the possible overthrow of the regime of terror, which has been due for the last 47 years.
Consider Your Contribution 00:02:31
It's worth considering making your $11 contribution to the Tunnel to Towers, because all through these years, and certainly since September 11, these are the people who preserve freedom for us.
And they paid a disproportionately horrible price.
And we are obligated to take care of them and to go the extra mile to take care of them.
And that's what Tunnel to Towers does.
The Tunnels of Towers Foundation honors America's greatest heroes, heroes like the dedicated public servant Josh Bischoff.
Josh began his firefighting career as a volunteer and quickly rose through the ranks to become Cal Fire's assistant chief of tactical air operations.
Josh was driven by a deep sense of purpose and a passion for serving others.
His leadership earned him great respect across the entire state of California and beyond that until tragedy struck.
And two helicopters collided while fighting a California wildfire.
Josh was killed in the crash.
He left behind his wonderful wife, Cheryl, and their two children, Derek and Juliana.
The Tunnel of the Towers Foundation paid the Bishop family's mortgage immediately, lifting a financial burden and enabling Josh's family to focus on healing after unimaginable loss.
Josh's family is committed to honoring his memory by living with the same drive, the same joy, the same patriotism, and the same purpose that he did.
Honor and help heroes like Josh and their families who've sacrificed everything.

Why Erdogan Matters 00:13:53
Don't wait.
Do it right now.
You can do that and listen to me, or you don't even have to listen to the next few minutes, but more important that you make that contribution.
Now, so Iran pulled a fast one on the discussions today, didn't it?
They were supposed to do it in Turkey.
Now, why in the name of heaven they wanted to move from Turkey where they have Erdogan in their hand, who is a complete scoundrel and complete supporter of theirs?
I don't know, but they wanted to go to Oman.
Now, I was surprised that we did, because you usually don't let them do that.
But given the body language and the participation of our two ambassadors, it looked as if when it started, they were ready to leave.
And they negotiated.
They gave nothing.
There was nothing to give.
Iran gave nothing.
And if we're not just going through the motions, getting ready to dispatch this regime to where it belongs, I'd be shocked.
That's what looking at and watching today's contrived meeting in Oman was to me.
So we have with us Dr. Farouz Danishgadi, who is an expert in many, many ways on the history of Iran, and in particular, the resistance movement in Iran.
And I think given the fact that this is the evening before the big meeting in Berlin, and I do think, Doctor, what I saw of our ambassadors at large and the way in which they conducted themselves in Iran, they were not engaged at all in this discussion.
I think they felt put upon that they would move to Oman.
I think they felt they were being made fools of, and they reacted accordingly.
So I expect they know something we don't know.
And we'll find out in the next, over this weekend, I think.
Well, so tell me, where are we?
And are you aware of this demonstration tomorrow, which is at the Brandenburg Gate?
We're not getting his uh, we don't have audio from him, so we'll bring him back on in a second.
Okay, i'm sorry, but uh, that it's a shame.
This man is an extraordinarily articulate and really bright man, and we don't want to miss him on the night before the big rally.
But um, just allow me to say a couple of things about one of my favorite targets, Erdogan.
Erdogan must have felt really bad that they pulled it.
They pulled the meeting away from him, because he's done everything he can to to expand the regime of terror.
I mean, they kill more people than he does.
So he must be like more or less embarrassed, you know, sort of like they're tougher than he is.
Right.
Let's try again.
And if not, we'll get him on the phone.
But if you have any, if you have any thoughts that Erdogan is, Erdogan is just as bad as all of them.
And sometimes he charms people and fools them.
Doctor, can we hear you now?
Okay, I want to call him on the phone.
I think we're having trouble with the audio, Doctor.
We can see you fine, and you look great.
You actually look like you're in your battle fatigues.
Hi, can we talk to you by phone?
Yes, yes.
Okay, good.
I was hearing you very well.
Okay.
We just couldn't get the audio on your end, but you're live on the air right now with the mayor.
Awesome.
Good evening, Mayor.
It's a delight and honor to be here again.
Well, it's wonderful to have you back, Doctor.
So how are you looking at things now?
We have tomorrow this gathering in Berlin to support change of regime and an interim government with Madame Rajavi hoping to guide us to an election.
And then, of course, we also have the way this meeting ended today in which nothing was accomplished and seemed to me that the president's representatives had just about had as much as they could take from the regime of terror.
I agree, Mayor, from your reading.
I think to me, the body language of our representatives were we just wanted to do to say we did it.
It's very good.
Yeah, there was no expression of any excitement or any resolution by any extent of imagination.
And frankly, I'm not surprised.
As you and I know, this regime has played with at least seven presidents during their lifetime.
And I think they think they're going to fool this president like they have done in Obama and Biden, but they're damn wrong.
They're damn wrong.
They're dealing with a different audience here.
But switching gear coming to Berlin, actually, I just arrived about an hour ago.
Are you in Berlin?
Are you in Berlin now?
Doctor?
Are you in Berlin now?
Yes, sir.
Yes.
Oh, wonderful.
Hopefully we can talk to you tomorrow morning, too.
Yes, yes, that would be great.
I'm less than a mile from the gates, actually.
Oh, I wish I was with you.
I have to share with you, Mayor, how my, because as you know, the weather condition in Berlin is very icy, so they have canceled a lot of flights today.
So how did you get in?
Well, I'm telling you a little bit of my story.
I flew from my flight got canceled to coming to Berlin, so they rerouted me or I rerouted myself flying to Frankfurt and then Frankfurt to Hamburg.
And then from Hamburg, I took the train.
And in every of those stations, this is the funniest part.
In Frankfurt, I met a group of young, energetic Iranians that they were coming from England.
Again, the flight was canceled and they rerouted themselves.
Then I come to Hamburg to the Bonhoeff, you know, the main bonhof, the main train station.
I see this group of 14, 15 people from Kurdistan.
You know, these are the Kurds.
They're coming to support the cause of the free Iran.
So it seems that tomorrow is going to be a representation of the unity of Iranians, the Nauranians, the minorities, the ethnic group.
As you remember, last time we spoke about my heritage in the Azeri.
And during my trip today, I have met two groups of the Kurdis and the Azeris again.
And those are by far the two biggest groups, the Azeri and the Kurds.
Right?
I mean, they're the largest.
There are 17 or 18 so-called minority groups, but more than half of them are Azeri and Kurds.
As you know, one of the European news agencies have estimated that there will be over 100,000 people in the gathering tomorrow.
And this is by far the largest gathering of the Iranian diaspora outside Iran.
So it seems that tomorrow is going to be an expression of another ability of Mrs. Rajabi under her leadership, unified from all the ethnic groups.
And the largest gathering of Iranians is going to be seen in Berlin.
That is amazing.
Now, the weather conditions are ferocious.
It is.
It's very icy.
The roads, as I was carrying, we're coming again with the train.
There's a thick layer of ice in the majority of the streets here.
But nevertheless, it seems that that is not going to deter the resolve of Iranian diaspora, that we are after freedom and we are in support of Ms. Rajabi and MEK.
So I'm very, very excited in being a part of the group tomorrow and see, again, despite the very unfavorable weather conditions that people are trying every shape or form to come and join the gathering and really send their unequivocal support to the rest of the world that we are here in support of the uprising,
in support of the maximum pressure, and in support of Ms. Rajabi and the unified front against this Barbaric regime, which I'm hoping we will see the end of it very soon.
Well, I think this is very, very important.
And we're going to try and we're going to try and broadcast it live tomorrow and then play it all day so that people in America can see it.
Oh, that would be great.
That would be great.
Will you have success in being able to get Images of this inside of Iran with the internet blackout that they have?
We have, and now, as you know, we have a significant support group inside Iran, the resistant groups, and we are getting very, very disturbing images.
As you've seen, we recently just published the names, the names of over 50 children, Mayor, as young as one, all the way up to 16 years.
And then the other thing, which I think you may also echo that, that it seems that the regime had a plan, had a basically very concrete plan how to suppress and how to kill.
So this was not an impulsive reaction on their side.
It was a very, very well thought out, very organized plan and killing the biggest massacre in Iranians' history, the biggest massacre.
You know, it had to be, Doctor, because.
Let's say the numbers are between 20 and 30,000.
And I suspect they're closer to 30,000.
But in that period of time, it's very, very hard.
No matter how much you try, it's very hard to kill that many people.
This was in a very short period of time.
In the entire Afghan war, we lost less than 30,000 people.
That lasted, what, five, six years, seven years, eight years, nine years, nine years.
So in a matter of three days, they killed 20 to 30,000.
The number is only going to get higher as we move along and find more bodies.
this is this is catastrophic yeah
no no no i yes i i've seen i've seen some of those even before you said that to me so So this just underscores.
Yeah, I mean, they are on their last options.
They really are.
And we always, I think, knew that they would eliminate as many people as possible before they were taken down, right?
We never had any unrealistic views that they would act in some kind of humane way, right?
Demonstrating Solidarity 00:07:24
Level.
I mean, this regime has crossed any other imaginable line, Mayor.
So tomorrow, what can be accomplished?
Tomorrow is going to be again despite the favorable weather conditions.
We are going to demonstrate the largest gathering of Iranians outside Iran to show his solidarity and support of Iranians' uprising.
The youth, the women who stood in front of this regime and said, no more fear.
Your end days are here and we are going to take you down in support of a unified front presented by Ms. Rajavi.
Again, the significant portion of the ethnic groups are here and to really send a message to the world community that come and recognize our rights for self-defense.
Come and recognize the rights of youth, women in the form of the resistance units to take down this regime.
Stop appeasement with this regime.
Take down and close the diplomatic offices in European cities and provide an unequivocal support for Iranian resistance led by Ms. Rajavi.
That is the message I'm here to hear and to echo to the rest of the world.
So you're there now.
How many people are there?
Can you tell how many are there now, given the conditions and all?
I arrived late.
So as you may know, it's about 2.30 in the morning Saturday morning here.
But in every stop, again, as I mentioned, in three airports and two training stations, I saw the gathering of Iranians.
They're coming from all over the world, from Canada, from England.
They came from Sweden.
So we'll see tomorrow how many people will be on the streets.
Definitely in tens of thousands.
Again, one of the European news agency predicted about 100,000, but we'll see how it goes tomorrow.
Tell me what time it starts, Berlin time.
I'll translate.
Yeah, sure.
We'll start at 1 p.m. Berlin time, which will be probably 7 a.m. East Coast time in the U.S. That's right.
That's exactly right.
And so we're going to be there and we'll be looking for you.
Awesome.
And we want the American, we want to make sure, because I know the feed is being given to all the American stations and outlets.
But, you know, for some diabolical reason, the regime has had the kind of control over our media and over our left-wing operatives that's frightening.
I mean, so that you can't get the truth across.
So I want to make sure, no matter what they do, people get to see what this gathering is, because this gives you a sense of, I think, what the heart and soul of the Iranian people, whether they be minorities or whatever the heck else you call them.
I mean, you're all Iranians, as far as I can tell.
Absolutely.
Yeah, absolutely.
And you're one of the great patriots, my friend.
I've never seen a one-yes.
During the train rides, I can't tell you how many young Iranians they approached me.
It was a two-hour train ride.
You know, they have seen me in the past and so forth.
There's such an air of excitement and unification for this gathering tomorrow.
So I'm very, very, I'm absolutely excited.
Very, very excited.
Maybe Americans can look at this and it can bring us back to how we started.
And we can rejuvenate, which I think we're doing.
We can rejuvenate our patriotic past.
I can't tell you, a loving relationship between the two countries.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I can't just wait for that.
You just get me, let me know, and I'll book a ticket to Tehran.
I'm ready to go.
Absolutely.
I've been honored.
I'll be your personal tour.
Please.
As much as I remember.
How could I do better?
Doctor, now, I do want to tell you one thing.
I know MEK really well, so I don't want to be cute about this, but I know the security they're involved in and have had something to do with advising them about that.
So they are superb at security.
So I know this is a dangerous.
This is a danger.
I don't care how good you are at security.
Doctor, this is a dangerous event.
So be careful.
Just be careful.
Yes, I will be.
For yourself and for others.
And may God bless you on a mission that's the most important thing you can do with your life, which is to help obtain freedom for people.
God bless you.
Absolutely.
Thank you so much, Fayette.
Thank you.
I'm looking forward to talking with you today.
Yeah, yeah, me too.
I'm very, very, very, very upbeat and very excited about this.
I really am.
This is, I don't know, aside from China, this is the most distorted, influential part of the world.
North Korea could be the most distorted country in the world, but it really doesn't have much influence.
And I think China would like to sort of just take them out because they're irresponsible.
But China and Iran are the two most dangerous parts of the world for those of us who would like to see our children live in freedom.
And the elimination of the regime of terror leaves China terribly isolated with a real opportunity that they'll change their mind because they have no support.
This Is Extraordinarily Important 00:04:20
This is extraordinarily important.
It will be the importance of it will be highlighted by the fact that the American media, which somehow is on the side of the, is somehow on the side of the communists and the will ignore it to a very large extent.
Probably not Fox and Newsmax, but a good deal of the American media will ignore this as if there's no significance to it.
But that's why we're going to cover it tomorrow morning and make sure you really get to see it.
Ted, should we take a short break so we can earn the money to do it?
You take another break.
Yeah.
Do we need to take our commercial break?
Do you want to take another one?
Yeah, just in case.
Here we go.
We'll be right back.
Make sure we here we are pretty much at the beginning of the process here at this pristine, I call it a laboratory.

I think morning is pretty good, though.
It gives you a good shot.
Then we'll take Bold a little later, so then it'll have an impact.
Make sure you get, I'm going to tell you, this coffee is so good.
Whenever I give it to somebody, that's all they want to drink is this.
Background Noise 00:15:36
And then I almost can't get enough for them.
I would order it right now.
Try it.
If you don't like it, you know something?
I haven't found anybody that doesn't like it.
Even when I do secret tests, so the case are afraid to tell me.
So now I think we have another guest in Berlin getting ready for the tremendous, not yet.
We don't quite yet have it.
I don't know if he's in Berlin.
I don't know if you realize that yesterday, yesterday, the MEK was able and their associates to leak a playbook that was put together two years ago by the homicidal regime in Tehran,
which planned every step of the massacre they did of the protesters in 400 different cities in Iran.
Now, this is hit all I and it's time to overcome it.
Now, we have with us, make sure I pronounce it correctly, Sina, Sina Sadian.
That's perfect.
Sina Sadian.
Oh, I'm so happy.
So you're a lawyer.
You're a law student at UVA, right?
That's right.
In my second year here.
And so tell me just a little bit about your background and your feelings about this and how you look at this.
Yes.
Well, in terms of background, born and raised here in the United States, but I've been very close to the Iranian resistance and their network of supporters in the United States and across Europe as well.
So I've had the privilege of seeing up close the work of the MEK and the NCRI, the National Council of Resistance of Iran.
Were you an intern?
No, but I've been very closely involved throughout my whole life.
This past November at the event in DC, I spoke on one of the youth panels there among one other law student and a couple other folks who have been like myself born and raised here, but I've been very close to the movement.
So I've had the opportunity to work closely with the NCRA.
Tell me the MEK, which takes more propaganda and brainwashing than I, I don't know, it's awful what they do to them.
I've been with them for 15 years.
I've gotten to know the leadership intimately, the members intimately.
It's an organization that makes you proud to be part of it because they're fighting for peace.
They've lost 120,000 people.
And they're about, I hope to God, they're about to be in a position to guide Iran to a Republican, a democratic form of government.
So how did you come to them?
Because there are so many people that try to stop you from being with them.
How did you make your journey to them and make your realization at such a young age, but an important age, an age in which you're studying, an age in which your mind is open to all kinds of things?
Your analytical abilities are probably as good right now as you're ever going to be in your life at your age.
You know that.
Yeah, well, I would say I think it's precisely what you say is you have an open mind.
You go to any of these events, you read about their history, you see speakers from a diverse array of backgrounds, whether it's Iranians who were born here, Iranians were born there, Americans, Europeans, all coming from different backgrounds, all who have so many different differences in terms of their politics, their upbringing, their beliefs.
But the one commonality they all have is a belief in freedom and democracy in Iran.
And I look out at all the different so-called alternative movements in Iran, and the NCR is the only one that has had a very clear platform since day one.
In 1981, when everyone else, when Khomeini came to power, was saying, let's give him a chance, let's cooperate, let's negotiate, let's try to open arms to Iran.
It was the MEK and the NCRA from day one who recognized, no, this form of Islamic fundamentalism is at odds with any form of democracy, any form of progress that the revolution of 1999 was intended to create.
And they put down a line at the beginning and they've paid a price for it, like you mentioned, propaganda, not just propaganda, but actual lives lost, 100,000 lives lost, 30,000 just in 1988 long.
This past couple of weeks, the MEK has listed the names and photos of 2,200 members of their resistance units inside of the country who were killed in these protests.
Yet the movement just continues getting larger and larger, precisely because they've lasted the test of time.
They have a platform.
And anyone who has an open mind can see that they are the only organization that has the vision and your organization to lead change.
Now, were you born here or in here in Kansas, actually?
I thought that was the case.
And your family is from Iran.
My parents moved here about 40 years ago.
And we haven't gone back.
So they moved here a long time ago.
So you're brought up as an American completely.
So this is all a product of your study, your reflection, your thinking, the process of your highly intelligent mind, if I may say.
I may say so.
And a feeling for your background and your people, the way we all have.
And there's two additional things there: like yourself, I haven't had the chance to go to Albania yet, but I've gone to France several times meeting with the young members of that's good.
I've been to Albania twice.
I need to go.
It's on my own.
I have to tell you, and then they've cut me off.
The Biden administration wouldn't allow me to go.
Really?
Largely because the Biden administration is on the other side.
But in any event, you meet these people.
Ashraf is beautiful.
It's beautiful.
Yeah, I need to go.
It's on my list.
But even in France, you meet these folks.
Many of them were born in Iran.
Young people came to the West, educated, could have done anything with their lives, and decided to dedicate it to continuing to fight for freedom in any way that they can.
And I think that's just inspiring.
And as someone who has all the privileges of growing up in America with the freedoms that we have, and looking back at our own heritage, the way our founding fathers fought for democracy, you see many of those same battles being fought on the ground in Iran.
It's true.
So I'm looking forward tomorrow to this demonstration.
We're going to do the best we can to convey it live and then leave it on all day so people can watch it.
And we will do everything we can to harass, interrupt, and push people to watching this.
Yeah, that's fantastic.
I mean, I think it's going to be a.
I suggest this would be a wonderful thing to watch during halftime at the Super Bowl.
Yeah.
Mother than what they have.
It'll be, I think it's a very important symbol to show because this is coming in the backdrop of obviously several weeks of uprisings with very, very high casualty numbers in the dozens of thousands and ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran over supposedly nuclear negotiations.
But I think we all know what's really going on here is that the list of demands of the United States.
You know, it amazes me, Cian, that it amazes me how they are so attacked and mischaracterized.
But I think the very best answer to it is a video that Ted and I got of the Ayatollah explaining how dangerous MBK is.
Now, I don't know if you need anything more than that.
Here is probably one of the most evil men in the world telling you that the one group he's afraid of is the MBK.
That's right.
And that's why there's a reason for that.
Yeah, that's why they waged such a physical war and a propaganda war.
All of their proxies in the West, the one consistent line they've had for the past 40 fifth years is attack, demonize the MEK.
And you have uprisings.
I mean, this son of the Shah was a perfect example of that.
He was a charade.
He's a man that got promoted to create this vision of this false alternative that he disappeared after a couple of weeks.
And all he did was attract attention to himself and demonize the MEK.
And this is the same playbook that the regime has been operating on for decades now.
It's the same, same exact thing.
Before I let you go, can I ask you, how did you get originally involved in the whole movement?
What was it?
The first ever involvement was probably thanks to my parents.
I have the good fortune of having great role models who were involved in this fight and brought my brother and I along with it.
But as I grew older and got to actually engage with it myself, meet the members of the NCR and MEK and learn more about the movement.
I took it upon myself to independently be as involved as possible.
I think it's an obligation and it's really a privilege to play a small role in trying to advance their fight.
No, no, you know, no one here is playing a small role.
These are all important roles.
Cena, we're going to be back to you as this progresses.
Would you thank your parents for me?
Absolutely.
They are in Berlin right now, actually.
They're getting ready to do it.
You send them a note, tell them that I thank them for having brought along the next generation.
I will, and I'm sure they'll see this clip.
Boy, that's so powerful.
God bless you.
You as well.
Appreciate your support.
Thank you.
That is when you have the young people, you got the future, huh?
What a fine young man who wants to be a lawyer.
Hopefully, he doesn't get disbarred like me.
I don't know.
Never thought I'd ever be disbarred.
Gosh, well, in any event, I think you get a sense of what they're trying to accomplish.
Now, you have to understand that, and I'm going to check with Ali Reza and with Farzine and my experts there overnight on this as we get ready for tomorrow morning.
But the reality is that I really think they have the young people.
I read an analysis somewhere, Ted, that in Iran, the Gen Z population is all anti-regime.
Yeah, we've many of them saying they'd rather die than live under this.
So we're looking at one who understands he was fortunate enough to be delivered from that.
But he has the same background as the people in Iran, the young people in Iran, who understand how they have been how they have been completely subjugated and tortured by this regime.
So this is this is doable.
And if in the course of your life, you get a chance to help, a small way, to move somebody to freedom who's been in oppression, I don't know.
Can you do anything better than that?
you're gonna have.
Let's put it this way, I don't know if you're Muslim or you're Catholic or you're Protestant or you're Jewish, but if you do believe, as I do, and almost all of them believe in an afterlife uh, when you go, when you go up there to be uh, judged by whomever you you believe, judges you.
What can you, what can you argue better in in favor of yourself than you?
Made a sacrifice, you put yourself out to help to obtain freedom for people who have been tortured for 47 years.
And I I, I don't want to I I I, I am not in even one iota overstating this.
If res, if this regime changes and if they acquire the kind of regime that that the Mek and and uh, Ncri and many of the other visionaries have in mind for them, which is a, which is a um, a republic based on the will of the people, with a guarantee of a uh, something very similar, and uh maybe, and and and more uh,
modernized in the bill of rights, in the 10-point plan that madam Rajavi has laid out for the last four decades.
This will be this.
This will be a great, great country and a great ally.
And it'll start to take some of the others who, not Israel.
Israel is a great ally no matter what.
But it'll take the other kind of allies back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
And it'll give them the guts and background to really understand that.
we can deliver the Middle East to the modern world.
Oh, there's a little exercise in theology that's necessary big, big exercise in theology that's necessary.
And there's a big exercise in practical politics that's necessary and in wealth creation.
But it's all can be done.
It's all a question of hope and the openness of the mind.
So let's see what else we have to cover, because we're going to have to uh, get ready for tomorrow morning I really do and we're going to put all, we'll put all kinds of stuff out there on online so you people can watch it, and we'll also try to do it so that we leave it on there so they can watch it later in the day.
Delivering the Middle East 00:03:26
Huh right, so that if you miss it in the morning I do I do suggest watching it in the morning.
It's more fun to watch it live, but we'll put it out there so that you can watch it all day and all weekend.
And when they have that awful Super Bowl thing with Bunny Bunny uh, Bearhead or whatever his name is, Bear Bear Bunny, bad bunny.
Bunny, boop up got that.
Bad bunny, bad boop up.
Bunny got in the game.
What, who do you got in the game?
He got in the game.
No, who you have in the big game?
Oh, i'm for the Patriots.
Yeah well, they're not going to win though, probably.
I just like the name uh.
So uh, we are going to.
We are going to um, we're going to pray now, And we're going to pray for everyone, but particularly for the people of Iran, since we spent so much time on it and that tomorrow works and that people see that it's right there.
It's right there.
It's right there.
I believe this will be the weekend.
So, dear God, please guide us correctly in Iran, in Israel.
In Ukraine, in the United States, and give our president the support that he deserves and that he needs.
God bless America!
We'll see you tomorrow morning.
U.S. Army Major, it's our purpose to bring to bear the principle of common sense and rational discussion to the issues of our day.
America was created at a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreements, anger, hatred.
There was a book written in 1776 that guided much of the discipline of thinking that brought to us the discovery of our freedoms, of our God-given freedoms.
It was Thomas Paine's Common Sense, written in 1776, one of the first American bestsellers, in which Thomas Paine explained, by rational principles, the reason why these small colonies felt the necessity to separate from the kingdom of Great Britain and the King of England.
He explained their inherent desire for liberty, for freedom, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the ability to select the people who govern them.
And he explained it in ways that were understandable to all the people, not just the elite.
Because the desire for freedom is universal.
The desire for freedom adheres in the human mind and it is part of the human soul.
This is exactly the time we should consult our history.
Look at what we've done in the past and see if we can't use it to help us now.
We understand that our founders created the greatest country in the history of the world.
The greatest democracy, the freest country, a country that has taken more people out of poverty than any country ever.
All of us are so fortunate to be Americans.
But a great deal of the reason for America's constant ability to self-improve is because we're able to reason.
We're able to talk.
We're able to analyze.
