politicians in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
So that voice you heard was California Senator Alex Padilla
who interrupted christin noame while going towards the podium when
he was taken into custody by Secret Service agents and
dragged out of the room. After being released, Senator Padilla
gave his own press conference, and here's what he had
to say.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
I had a question. Can I'm emphasized, just as we
emphasized the right for people to peacefully protest, had to
stand up for their First Amendment rights, for our fundamental rights.
I was there peacefully at one point I had a question,
and so I began to ask a question.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
Hi Jeff, Good morning everybody. Thank you again so much
for what you do. I wanted to call in today
because of what's going on with the worst situation. A
couple of things I wanted to mention. I do want
to bring out the fact, as being an Armian background,
that Armenia is landlocked and Armenia is dependent on Iran,

(03:14):
believe it or not, Persia Iran for weapons and other
supplies coming in because they're landlocked and surrounded by Turkish
Muslim enemies. And I just want to put that out
there because this is very dangerous for Armenia and Armenians worldwide.
I wanted to ask for your comment on that, but
before I get to that too, Before we go on

(03:34):
to that, I just want to mention in scripture, biblically speaking,
wherever there is evil, God, especially in the Old Testament
and even in the New has always said to eliminate
the evil, just like was done with Sodom and Gomorah.
So I think it's really important to eliminate the evil,
to expose it, to reveal it, to say what it is,

(03:57):
and really do something about it. And I just really
President Trump and all of the people with him for
what they're doing to try to maneuver in this situation.
But I really wanted to ask your opinion about that
because I'm really concerned a lot of Armians. I don't
know if there's some Armians that listen to this program
as well, that there is danger because Armenia is already

(04:19):
being betrayed and harmed by Turkey and Ozerbaijan all the time.
And I also want to put in there that Israel itself,
for all people who are pro Israel whatever anti Israel,
that Israel has arms Turkey and Azerbaijan against Armenia and

(04:40):
help to have the Armians taken out of the army
in territories. And I just want to put that out
there because it's important for people to know I am
pro Israel in the sense of God's you know, agenda.

Speaker 6 (04:55):
But I'm really.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
Careful about what people will say. And I do want
to put a the word out for Vince in the Utah,
Germany yesterday and what he said. I really want to
say that I agreed with what he said. But go ahead, Jess.
That's pretty much all that I wanted to show.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Verna as always, thank you very very much for that call.
And look, you know my feelings on the Christian Armenians.
They were the victims of the first great genocide of
the twentieth century by the Turks and they are being
victimized again. The Turks arming Azerbaijan. The muslim and the

(05:31):
Azerbaijani Muslims have now ethnically cleansed and massacred countless Armenian
Christians in the Iguerno Karabakh, which is ancestral Armenian land.
And there's no question that if the regime. I'm not
backing the regime in Iran. I want the regime in
Iran to fall. But if we don't do this the

(05:52):
right way, if we do another Iraq where there's no
exit strategy, there's no endgame, there's no you know. In
other words, Look, yeah, would I like the Crown Prince
of Iran, Pahlavi to return to power and be like
his father, who was a modern man, a pro Western man,

(06:14):
a pro American man, by the way, in some ways
very pro Armenian. Yeah, I would love to see the
Crown Prince come back to Iran. I don't think that's
gonna happen. I mean, I could be wrong, but from
everything I've been reading, he's disliked in Iran, even among
many of the dissidents, those that oppose the Iatolus. So

(06:36):
my fear is that Armenia could be collateral damage, just
like there was so much collateral damage when we invaded Iraq.
So that's why, Look, Israel is doing an incredible job,
almost a perfect job, as far as any war can
be perfect. There's always mistakes in every war, but as

(06:59):
far as it can be perfect. And so you know,
when Israel is systematically dismantling and degrading Iran's nuclear weapons
enrichment and ballistic missile capability, peace by peace, by peace
by peace, and we behind the scenes have been helping them,

(07:21):
protecting them, covering them every step of the way. You
know the old expression, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
We don't need to fix this. So I think this
rush to war is just that, it's a rush to
war on our part. And also, look, I want Trump now.
I don't know if you can anymore with the tweets

(07:42):
and everything or whatever the true socials, but I'd like
America to remain in some ways an arbiter. Remember, Iran
is trying to negotiate with us. We want them to
end their program. Well, if we become a direct co belligerent,
we're not negotiating with them anymore. We're literally now at

(08:05):
war six one seven two six six, sixty eight, sixty
eight is the number. Okay, so just very quickly. President
Trump now is on the verge of making a historic decision.
This will impact his presidency and probably the direction of
the United States for generations to come. According now to

(08:28):
senior White House officials, he is very close now to
ordering US strikes on Iran to officially join Israel in
its campaign to smash the Iranian regime once and for all.
President Trump now is increasingly referring to the war as

(08:50):
we yesterday, he threw down the gauntlet, telling the Iranian
Mullas he will not accept anything less than quote unquote
unconditional surrender. And that now we notice he said the
word we, not Israel, but we have complete and total
control of disguise. And he hasn't made a decision yet.

(09:13):
There is still a lot of opposition within the Trump
White House not to Israel attacking Iran. There's almost unanimity there,
but that we should get directly involved. Latest polls show
about sixty percent of the American people are against not
Israel attacking Iran. There's full support for that or heavy

(09:35):
a lot substantial support, but sixty percent oppose direct US involvement.
So President Trump is going to have to address the
nation if he does decide to take us to war,
make his case. And I would like to see Congress
vote on the issue. But that's me. I want to
hear from you. Six one seven two six six sixty

(09:57):
eight sixty eight. Lindsey I am is Lindsey Gramnesty, who's
the heir to mcmaniac John McCain, one of the leading
neo conservatives in the Senate. He is a warhawk, he
is a warmonger, is licking his chops. He is pushing
Trump hard, lobbying him almost around the clock to attack

(10:21):
Iran with everything that we have. Listen to him, and
by the way, he doesn't even want to vote in Congress.
He just wants Trump to start dropping those bombs and
send in the ground troops. Listen now to Lindsey Graham saying,
either we join the war or the Ayatolas get the

(10:42):
bomb and they will go nuclear roll cut for Mike.

Speaker 7 (10:50):
I can guarantee you that if the iotoe against a
nuclear weapon, he will use it. I believe that with
all my heart, and so so the men and women
who serve they're the ones going not be answering a poll,
and if you ask them, would you be willing to
risk your life to stop the Autola from having a
nuclear weapon, all of them would say yes, because it
makes their country, Our country is safer. So we live

(11:11):
in a world where you got to confront problems.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
So basically, he's saying, even if the American public is
against it, he claims he's speaking for the entire US military.
It's the arrogance of this man, to me is stunning.
But anyway, he says, to hell with it, we have
to go and bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. Listen now, and

(11:35):
here they go. You knew it was coming. Hitler Munich
nineteen thirty eight. Appeasement. It's the same line again. Roll
cut for a mike.

Speaker 7 (11:50):
You want to avoid World War three, learn the lessons
from World War two. People in World War two appeased
Hitler to the point that it got so much out
of hand and we had a world war and sixty
million people got killed. So we live in a world
where you pay now or you pay later. Let's stop
this threat before he gets a nuclear weapon. Let's end
this reign of terror. Let's do it now. It's not

(12:12):
going to take twenty months. But I can't guarantee you
your freedom and your safety unless we're willing to fight
for it. I can guarantee you this. If we don't
fight for our freedom, we will lose it.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
So there you go. He said, By the way, the
exact same thing about Iraq. About Iraq, and the exact
same thing about Afghanistan, and the exact same thing about Ukraine.
If we don't bomb Russia, if we don't attack Russia,
our freedoms are gone. They say that all the time
when it comes, every time they want a war. And
I'll be very honest with you again. You know how

(12:43):
pro Israel I am. But that's why I hate these
neo conservatives. That's why I despise these neo cons with
every fiber in my being. Just like they called you
unpatriotic if you oppose the Iraq war and proven to
be right, that was a disaster. Now you're a Jew
hater or somehow an anti Semite if you support Israel

(13:09):
in destroying and degrading Iran's nuclear cup capabilities. But you
just don't want the United States to be directly involved.
And so you're seeing this argument by the neocons. Lindsey
Graham is peddling it. John Thune is peddling it. Now
you're starting to see Mark Levin as well. He's a
big Neocon. He's peddling this as well. That literally, if

(13:32):
you don't support American involvement and America bombing Iran America,
you're quote unquote and appeaser. It's the rebirth of Neville Chamberlain.
It's the rebirth of nineteen thirty eight. And basically, like
what Bradon Brookline was saying, I'm a Nazi goosetepper who's

(13:53):
in bed with these vicious antisemites. I mean, this is
the sickness of these new conservatives. That's that's how sick
these people are, and so, and now you know why
they're so hated and so now they're already already now
you're a you're a Jew hater and an already Levin

(14:14):
and Sean Hannity are pushing their garbage that if you say, well,
by the way, who's appeasing Iran? I'm sorry if this
is appeasement. If smashing Irans, wiping out their entire military leadership,
intelligence leadership, hitting all of their nuclear facilities, and soon

(14:35):
four Dow is going to be hit as well and
degrading and destroying their ballistic missiles and their missile launchers
in one of the most brilliant successful massive air operations
air campaigns in human history, backed in the in the
in the background, supported by the United States with crushing

(14:55):
economic sanctions, maximum diplomatic pressure on Iran. If this is appeasement,
I don't I don't want to know what war looks
like to these lunatics. I don't like, what are they
determined for a nuclear armageddon?

Speaker 8 (15:16):
Like?

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Really? And when you say, well, what if China steps in?
I mean, have you thought this thing through? What if
Pakistan steps in? You know they're a nuclear power, they
have nuclear weapons. What if God forbid they smuggle a
nuclear weapon into Iran if we get involved? Have you
thought any of this thing through? Joe Hannah, you're an
at the summite. You'll hate the Jews like you people

(15:41):
are sick. You're sick. You lust for blood, You lust
for American blood to be shed at every opportunity. Let
Israel win this war and keep a Maria out. Agree, disagree,

(16:04):
And even if you disagree, how does that make you
a hater of the Jews? These neo conservatives I'm telling
you are nothing more than mouthpieces for the military industrial complex.
They never met a war they didn't like. And they

(16:25):
always want to send your son and your daughter to
their death, but never their own. And they will smear you,
that's what they do. They're no different. Michelle Malkin made
this point to me over and over again. She goes,
you know, Jeff, they're no different than these liberals. They
really aren't. The liberals will call you racist if you

(16:47):
disagree with them. They will destroy your character and ruin
your reputation. The neocons do the exact same thing. They're
both the same sides, different sides of the same coin.
And so I was hoping we could have a civil,
rational debate about whether our country should be involved in

(17:10):
a potential another major Middle East war. But with these
neo conservatives, there's no rational debate. Six one seven two
six six sixty eight sixty eight. So let me set
the table. Six one seven two six six sixty eight
sixty eight is the number. Uh okay, let me let

(17:33):
me ask all of you. It is now the question
really of the hour. I don't mean the hour of
the show, I mean the hour of our country. Should
the United States stay out of the war between Israel
and Iran, and how far should we go in our
support for Israel. President Trump now is weighing all options.

(17:54):
He seems to be very close now to deciding to
launch strikes US strikes on Iran. He hasn't made a
decision yet. There's a very robust debate within his administration
and people on his national security team. So but within
the next forty eight to seventy two hours he will
probably make a decisive decision should we get directly involved

(18:19):
in this war? Larry in Leminster, Thanks for holding Larry,
and welcome Jack. I'm pretty bad, Larry. Hold on, I think, Larry.
We can barely hear you. Larry. Are you there? Hello, Larry,
hold on me Now we can hear you. Sorry, Larry,

(18:41):
go ahead, Sane.

Speaker 6 (18:42):
You're a very bad man. Let me check my notes
because you don't agree with the latest thing I'm raving about.
I love when guys like that call in because it
makes me sound like a Rhodes scholar by the time
you get to me.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Well, that's not hard, Larry, compared to that guy. I mean, yeah, yeah,
But Larry, look, let me ask you this. You're an
Air Force veteran. You served our country and not in war,
but still you served our country. These bunker busters. How
difficult are they to deliver them? These massive bunker thirty

(19:18):
thousand pound bunker busters that they say they need to
just smash that enrichment facility in four doh? And can
we can Israel do it? If we gave them the
bunker busters, could they fly the stealth bombers and drop
them or do we have to do that?

Speaker 6 (19:38):
All right? First, I did serve in war, not in combat.
Just for the record, the bunker busters you've got, I
don't know if you remember the moab you got daisy Cutter.
All these are very like some of the most powerful
non nuclear bombs, Like might one thirty cargo plane could

(19:58):
deliver that Daisy Cutter and drop it on anything. It
does take the B two bomber. I'm not buying that
they can't handle the B two bomber. They've got experienced pilots,
they've got fighters, they've got bombers themselves. It wouldn't be
that hard to make the transition, right They just I

(20:19):
think Phoebe desperately wants us to have our hands in
it to I don't know, take credit or take blame
however you want to couch it. My personal opinion, what
Trump has been doing so far is the right move.
I don't care if they rent it to him. I
don't care if he charges him a dollar to give

(20:39):
him the be two bombers and the bunker busters. Stay
out of it directly, you know. Now Iran has already
blamed us, says we're part of this regardless, but we
don't need to prove it succinctly, you know, just stay
the course, rent it to him, sell it to him.
I don't care. We don't need to be directly in.

(21:00):
We need to support, we don't need direct involvement.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Larry, let me just play devil's advocate for a second.
What do you say to the argument that you know
many Hawks are making, which is Iran has been a
mortal threat not just to Israel but to America since
you know, the Islamic Republic in nineteen seventy nine. It's
a death to America regime. They are close to getting

(21:26):
the bomb. Why shouldn't we, you know, in for a penny,
in for a pound, as the English say, why shouldn't
we go all in and help Israel complete and finish
the job. If you want to guarantee success, nothing will
guarantee it more than the United States teaming up with

(21:46):
Israel and finally we wipe out Iran's nuclear program and
maybe even the Mulla's once and for all. What do
you say to that argument, Larry.

Speaker 6 (21:59):
There was an expres fish in one of the Batman
movies that said, be the hero, but don't be the
hero long enough to become the villain. Cruz, Lindsey Graham,
and Ran Paul to a point have become the post
of children for term limits.

Speaker 8 (22:17):
Right.

Speaker 6 (22:17):
It's like you said, they never met a war they
didn't want to get involved in. They didn't want to
drop bombs on people. To be honest, Jef, where I
disagree with you is, I'm not worried about Pakistan. They've
got their own problems with India. I'm not worried about Russia.
They've got their own problems with dealing with Ukraine to
get involved. I am worried about China. China holds a

(22:39):
lot against this country, tech, money, militarily, They're a problem.
What I'm more concerned with is, like we discussed, I
think it was last week or the week before that,
ominous threat by that guy at the border saying, you
don't know my name, but you will soon know who
I am. How many hezbolah, how many Iranian sleeper cells

(23:06):
are already in this country just waiting for us to
dip our finger into this and start creating havoc here,
terroristic havoc here. Support stay vigilant on your own soil.
And that's my stance, you.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
See, that's I agree with you, Larry completely completely. That's
the other reason why I fear direct involvement. Then, you see,
I know we're helping Israel behind the scenes, but you're right,
we're not officially at war with Iran. Once we become
officially at war with Iran, I'm worried that under Biden,
so many of these Islamic terrorist cells has Bulon particular

(23:46):
came in. The Iranians could now they have costs as Belli,
they have a justification to activate them. You know, they
could say, well, hey, you guys are bombing us, You're
killing our citizens inadvertently, but still Uranians are dying. Well,
you know what, now American citizens are going to die.
And so my fear is that this could trigger domestic
terrorist attacks here on the homeland, and then it's I mean,

(24:12):
I don't want to see Americans dead. So you're right,
I look at it from a cost benefit analysis, Larry,
What do we get out of it? I know what
Israel gets. I understand why BB would want us to
join them. I get it, but we don't seem to
get that much. But we seem to take on a
lot of the costs. Final word to you, uh.

Speaker 6 (24:32):
Larry, it's something we've got to pay attention to right now.
I'm not saying he's wrong. I'm not saying he's lying.
But BB made a point to say that the two
assassination attempts on Trump were a direct result of Iran.
That's him goading us into saying, oh my god, they
already tried to attacking us, we must get involved. Where

(24:54):
I'm concerned now is a false flag event, something that
happens that they can think they can blame. I ran
on to drag us in. I wouldn't put it past
the Democrats to do that. I wouldn't put it past
the neocons to do that, or even the Israeli regimes.
Is just that's the fact of life. I'm not anti Semitic,

(25:16):
I support israel I was all for Trump moving the
embassy to Jerusalem all that, but we don't need we
need a war, like you said famously, like we need
another hole in the head, Larry.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Interesting as always interesting, Larry, thank you very much for
that call. Six one seven two six six sixty eight
sixty eight. Should we get directly get involved in this war?
Should the United States? Should Trump order US strikes on Iran?
Do you support? Not support? Agree, disagree? Nancy in Framingham.

(25:54):
Thanks for holding Nancy, and welcome.

Speaker 8 (25:57):
Good morning, Jeff. Now my feeling is we should stay
out of it. Number one. Every time we do a
lot of bombing, we did that with Vietnam and we
still lost the war. I think I am perfectly at
ease with Israel. Let them do it, give them the bomb,
give them the technology, because I think once you start

(26:18):
with that, I always will support the mega movement. I
will always stuck by Trump because there's nobody better than him.
But however, will this be the end of our country
because he'll go down, Really we will go down. Don't
kid yourself. The Democrats are going to say, see he lied,
he said no endless wars. Well he got us into
an endless war. That's what I'm afraid of. And I

(26:40):
think also, like I mentioned a long time ago on
your show, he should be giving like a fireside chat,
just like Roosevelt did during World War Two what he
is doing every day. I would like to see that happen,
and that he could gain more support for the Big
Bill that is much more important gas, which I don't
think will do. If he does this, I think we're

(27:04):
through and I don't want and I think we could
take care of some of the other countries, but I
don't think we could take care of China. We're not prepared.
And if you saw during the Korean War, well look
where that landed. Didn't land us very good, did it?
So I feel my fear is that once we go
down this rabbit hole, we never can seem to climb

(27:25):
out of it. And I think we need term limits
to get some of these rhinos out of here that
never never say no to a war. We're not gonna win.
Israel's winning the war, let them do it. I don't
think they need our troops, they don't need us particularly,
and they're very smart. They can learn how to fly
the plane. I'm sure they have better technology than we do,

(27:47):
and their intelligence is far better than ours. True, so
I would trust Israel before trusting us to mess it
up to go, and by going out, I think we'll
just make a bigger mess.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Nancy, I'm telling you that you and I are so
sympatical it's not even funny. It was almost word for
word what I was telling Grace last night, Like, honestly,
I understand for many reasons why Israel would want us
to join the war. There's no question. But part of me,
if I honestly, if I was like net and Yahu
in front of me, I'd say, Bbie, look, honestly, I'd say,

(28:18):
you sure you want the Americans on board? Because now
you become the junior partner, So now you have it's
not just everybody says it's Trump Trump.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
But then the generals get involved, the National security team
gets involved. They can start vetoing decisions that Israel has
to make or Israel feels it needs to make, Like
you really want potentially the US to meddle in your operation?
In other words, look, it's a stunning success. Why would

(28:48):
you like with our track record? You're right, your intelligence
is better than ours in some ways, even your war
fighting capabilities. You're not as big, you're not as strong, obviously,
but the technology that you use in many ways is
better than ours. And whatever you need we can provide
to you. So I'd be like, BB, are you sure

(29:09):
you want this? You know, like I completely agree, even
from Israel's point of view, like don't you want the
freedom of action, the freedom of mobility. Once you get
involved in a coalition with the world's you know, superpower,
we call the shots. Ultimately we start calling the shots.
Now Trump would never betray Israel, I know that. But still,

(29:33):
now you know you're you're in a little bit of
a straight jacket. And Nancy, I want to go back
to something you said earlier. I think China would love
for us to get involved. Look at it from their
point of view, the Americans are going to get stuck
in another massive war in the Middle East, this time
with a country much bigger than Iraq, with four times

(29:57):
the population of Iraq, with, by the way, a very
mountainous country, unlike Iraq, which is mostly desert and flat,
so it is tailor made like Afghanistan for Gorilla war.
So if the Americans send in boots on the ground
and an occupation force, to overthrow the Mullahs and you know,

(30:17):
try to prop up a new government there. It's going
to be our men and women. They're going to be
sitting ducks for you know, God knows what kind of
retaliatory and gorilla attacks. So and this would just bog
us down. And you're right, it would destroy Trump's presidency.
There's no question that it would. And then you know,
look at the big beautiful bill. It would finally secure

(30:41):
our border. Ten thousand Ice agents to start deporting our
country of all of these illegals. It would unleash. It
would be like rocket fuel for our economy. Take care
of our people, give you know, desperate, hardworking, blue collar,
murking middle class people a chance to really start, you know,

(31:04):
coming back from the Biden years. In other words, we
need prosperity at home. We need to deal with the
border invasion here. We have so many problems. My god,
why do we want to get involved in another major war?
As you rightly said, Nancy, that Israel is winning.

Speaker 8 (31:25):
Final word to you, to Jeff the problem you would have.
I lost my chain of thought. But my fear is
that he needs to be on TV. He needs a
fire side chat to do with everything he's doing. You

(31:46):
can't split mega apart. You just can't. It's and by
the way, look where we wound up as far as Vietnam,
we wound up with our raq. It's a look we
always seem and why when we do win the war,
I don't want to have foreign aid rebuilding their bridges,
their schools when we don't do.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Our It's a great point.

Speaker 8 (32:07):
I don't want to see if we did get in,
because we had to get in, I want to get
I don't want a regime. I don't want to see them.
Let let's see Iranians do the throwover. Let them take
care of it.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Let the Iranians overthrow their own government. I'm so with you. No,
I didn't even think of that, But you're right. If
we go in and we helped topple the mullets, well
then now we're going to have to help with the
reconstruction of that country because we're there and we helped
overthrow the government. So again, are we gonna plunk trillions
of dollars now went to Iran? Like ayya yai, like

(32:43):
we have enough problems at home again, That's why I
keep going back. Israel's taking care of it. Let them
take care of it. Just sit back and give them
all the assistance they need behind the scenes, you know,
crack open a beer, put your feet up, go b
B go. Oh Nancy, great call. Thank you very much

(33:03):
for that call. Six one seven again, agree disagree, you
may disagree. I mean, I'm just giving you my honest opinion.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number Victor in Maryland. Thanks for holding Victor,
and welcome.

Speaker 9 (33:22):
Good morning America's talk show hosts. How many affiliates.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Do you have, Well, we got a huge national streaming audience, Victor, massive.
The numbers are getting bigger all the time. And that's
why I can't thank you and all the listeners out
there enough, truly, Victor. I've got to ask you, my friend.
You've been with us for many, many years. We've been
through a lot of a lot of battles together, Victor,

(33:49):
you and I where do you stand on this issue?
Should the United States join the war and bomb Iran?
Or should we stay out? What say you, Victory.

Speaker 9 (34:01):
Out Let the Israelis take care of the problem. We'll
give you the tools that you need, but we need
to stay out. And I can hear Lindsey Grandestigue saying, yeah, yeah,
we got to get in there. We got to get
in there, stay out, sit back and watch the action.

(34:26):
And my question is the Iranians that are here in
the United States, are they going to be with us
the US since they're here, or are they more inclined
to do what their country says to do. Are we

(34:46):
going to have trouble with the Iranian.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
No Iranian I'll tell you right now. Iranian Americans are
a fiercely pro American and I mean, my god, do
they hate that regime. Remember they fled that regime. They
loathe and despise the Mullahs. And by the way, they
tend to be very secular. I think because that regime

(35:10):
was so fanatically you know, religious, It was so extreme,
so ubiquitous, so domineering, so repressive, you know, in in
imposing Sharia law fanatically in every aspect of life, private life,
public life, every aspect of life. Many of them tend

(35:31):
not to be religious at all. They're just very very secular.
But no, they they hate the Mullas with every fiber
of their being. In fact, just so that you know,
you know, one of the reads I do is for
four ninety five Mazda. And by the way, they do
have phenomenal cars. I test drove them. I love them.
I really think my next car is going to be
a Mazda. But let that go. My point is the

(35:54):
owner of four ninety five Manzda is an Iranian. He
fled when the shawell he's been in this country now
for forty plus years. Wonderful man, wonderful businessman, a family man.
And so I had a chance to chat with him.
This was like months ago, okay, before any of this,
and he said, look, yeah, the shaw was a dictator.

(36:17):
He said, there's no question, you know, he was a
strong man. But he said, you have no idea what
her on was like in the sixties and seventies when
I was growing up. He said, we had a modern,
thriving economy. He said women were allowed to dress as
they pleased. He said they walked around in skirts. You know,
they were nicely attired, but he said they weren't covered

(36:39):
from head to toe. They were allowed to go to university,
they were allowed to drive, They had, in many ways,
you know, rights comparable to men. He said, we had
one of the most advanced modern countries in the entire
Middle East. We had petrochemical companies. The shaw was pro American,
pro Western, open to investment, open to business. He said,

(37:03):
you had no idea what it was like. And then
the moment these primitive barbaric iatolas came in and they
just destroyed everything everything. He goes for him his family.
He says, I fled, I took my sister, I took
my family, and we've never gone back. He says, in fact,

(37:24):
I made it my mission to get my whole family out.
And he said, they've been an unmitigated disaster for Iran
and the Iranian people. And I just and I have
to say this. I'm not saying it to be, you know, whatever,
politically correct. Honestly, Iran people confuse them with the Arab world.
They're Persian. They have an ancient civilization. When you meet

(37:47):
an Iranian like this man at four ninety five miles
that the owner, wonderful man. Highly cultured. There are very
highly cultured people. Some of the best rugs in the world,
Iranian pistachio nuts, Iranian art, clothing, furniture, they are very refined.

(38:09):
They are a highly cultured people. That's why to have
these primitive savages rule over them is such an affront
to their dignity, and that's why there's so much internal
opposition to this regime. And that's another reason why frankly,
I'd like to see this war. I mean, I want

(38:31):
it to be successful, and I want the nuclear weapons
program to be completely wiped out, but I don't want
to see ordinary Iranians be hurt, because look, you know,
by you know, by the grace of God, there go I.
You know, you're born in that country, You had no choice.
These are the leaders that were installed on you. And

(38:54):
the brave Iranian people rose up. In two thousand and nine,
Obama betrayed them. They got crush, many of them were murdered, tortured, imprisoned.
Then they rose again in twenty twenty twenty two. Okay,
in twenty twenty two under Biden, Joe, he betrayed them
a second time, and again many of them. Remember they

(39:16):
they killed that poor Iranian woman because she had a
headscarf but it showed a little bit of her hair.
And the savages beat that woman, and the morality police,
the Sharia law, you know, the Sharia law enforcers, and
they beat and they killed, they tortured and they killed
that woman. And it was months and months. The protests

(39:38):
were in city after city, and Biden refused to give
them any assistance whatsoever, and many of those protesters again crushed, imprisoned, tortured, killed,
