Transcript [00:00] Hey everyone, this is the first of two [00:01] updates I'm going to give you on the [00:03] Iran situation. I could probably do half [00:05] a dozen updates, but I want to split the [00:07] topic a little bit right now. I want to [00:09] focus on the reactions to the death of [00:13] Ayatah Kamayi. I want to show you some [00:15] of the reactions and then I'll share my [00:17] thoughts about what it means uh which [00:19] might be a little bit different than [00:20] what you're hearing everywhere else. So, [00:22] let's first take a look at how people [00:25] are reacting here. So this this is some [00:28] celebrations in the streets of Iran. [00:35] This is Iranian women. [00:40] You look at this. You see women without [00:42] their hijabs on is obviously [00:44] significant. And here [00:48] celebrations in the streets [00:52] celebrating [music] [00:59] um [01:02] we've been talking, you know, we've been [01:03] talking about the fact that like are the [01:05] people going to come out into the [01:06] streets? Are they going to protest [01:07] again? They're obviously not getting [01:09] shot at by the besiege by the by the [01:12] Iranian [01:14] authorities and that's already a very [01:17] good sign. That does not equal regime [01:19] change. Okay, the this can all turn on a [01:21] dime. I'll talk about that a little bit [01:22] more soon. But just a little bit more of [01:25] this [01:27] celebration [01:29] [music] [01:34] celebration. [cheering] [01:37] >> [screaming] [01:42] [screaming] [01:47] >> Now, these are not small things. They [01:48] seem a little bit symbolic, but they're [01:50] not small things. The fact that people [01:52] are emboldened and they're not afraid [01:54] because regimes like this that are a [01:56] small number of people, they rely on [01:58] fear. They rely on everyone being afraid [02:00] to act up, afraid to, you know, to speak [02:03] out, afraid to resist the regime. So [02:07] when they do something like pulling down [02:08] a statue, walking outside, you know, [02:11] celebrating without their hijabs, these [02:12] act, these are things that actually do [02:14] matter and they embolden people to [02:16] further action. And that's the key. You [02:18] need further action. I'm going to keep [02:20] coming back to that point now on the [02:22] significance of the Iranian supreme [02:24] leader who is and how it's different [02:27] than other presidents or like someone [02:29] like Assad who are dictators of [02:31] countries and what it means. Uh we'll go [02:33] to Patrick Bet David although I I have [02:37] to point out a criticism I have for his [02:39] comments here. We'll get to that after [02:40] we watch what he has to say. [02:42] >> The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali K is [02:44] officially dead. They killed him. They [02:46] found his body. Reports came out. Let me [02:47] tell you why this is big. This is not [02:49] killing a president. This is not killing [02:51] a prime minister. This is not killing a [02:53] king. You're killing the supreme leader [02:56] of a religion. This is number two to [02:59] God. They killed. And by the way, the [03:01] last time the supreme leader was alive, [03:03] I was in Iran. It was June 3rd 89 when [03:05] he died. I was in fifth grade at fifth [03:08] grade at a school called Gulbang. And it [03:10] was chaotic in Iran because their hero [03:13] died. This guy didn't die. They killed [03:15] him. By the way, according to reports, [03:18] 81% of Iranians hate this regime and [03:22] they want it to be changed. Not 61%, not [03:25] 51%, not 31%, nearly 81% want this [03:30] person to be gone and he's gone. So what [03:32] happens next? Trump killed Gasam Solmani [03:35] reputation. Now he kills the supreme [03:37] leader combined with a couple different [03:39] countries. How many people are on IRGC [03:42] side? How many countries? Maybe a [03:43] handful. Who's supporting them? who you [03:46] don't think people are sitting there [03:47] saying well about 180 countries are [03:49] against you why because how many [03:52] countries go around the world saying [03:53] death upon America death upon America [03:54] death upon infidels who says that you [03:57] don't think the president and his team [03:58] wanted to negotiate with you guys who [04:00] say just say you're never going to have [04:01] nuclear weapons no just for three years [04:03] so he can be out and then we can get [04:04] another Biden in and we can go out there [04:06] and do all that stuff so look whether [04:08] you're not happy about this because [04:10] you're you're an anti-war person which I [04:14] totally get no No one wants war. I lived [04:15] there as a kid. I saw people dying and [04:18] no one wants that. It was the most [04:20] anxiety, [04:22] panic as a little boy. Nobody should [04:24] experience that. Till today certain, you [04:26] know, sounds still get me because I go [04:28] back to being a boy and I was in the US [04:30] Army here. Nobody wants to see this [04:32] happen except maybe if your name is John [04:34] Bolton and Lindsey Grant. But for [04:35] everybody else who is wanting the world [04:39] to be a safer place, if this gets [04:43] quickly like this and everybody else [04:45] sits around says, "Hey guys, they're [04:47] about to kill you and your kids and you. [04:50] Who's next? Let's just work with these [04:52] guys. What do you want to do? Guys, [04:53] we're done. Surrender. Put the flag. [04:56] We're done, guys. What do you want to do [04:58] next? Let's make it work. Let's your [05:00] people go elect somebody they want as a [05:02] president, whoever it is. [05:04] Let's go back to having good diplomacy. [05:06] Let's stop being the agent of chaos in [05:08] the Middle East and let's make it a [05:09] safer place. So very interesting day for [05:12] me [05:14] because um I'll never forget June 3rd [05:18] 89. Never. I was 10 years old about to [05:20] be 11. So a great day for a lot of [05:23] people that feel liberated. And none of [05:26] this would have happened without [05:28] President Trump. Many presidents have [05:30] talked to big game. None of them had the [05:32] brass to make the decision. You got to [05:35] give them respect while he's in the heat [05:37] of moment with everybody saying you [05:38] shouldn't do it, you shouldn't do this. [05:41] They planned it out different than the [05:42] way they did Venezuela and they got Kame [05:45] obviously. Let's see what happens next. [05:46] They could retaliate and uh but I think [05:48] we will see fairly quickly what their [05:51] next move's going to. [05:53] >> All right. Um, so he does a good job [05:56] there laying out the fact that killing [05:59] uh the supreme leader is not just [06:01] killing a head of state. It's not just [06:03] killing uh you know a ruler. It's [06:05] killing a religious leader. Someone who [06:07] was like the supreme leader and that the [06:09] previous time the previous there's only [06:11] one other supreme leader. Ali Kam took [06:13] over from Ayatollah Kmeni and Ayat Kmeni [06:16] as he pointed out died in 1989 and he [06:20] just died. He wasn't killed. So he's [06:22] talking about how severe this blow is. [06:23] But what really annoys me about this [06:25] Patrick David clip and it annoys me [06:26] about him in general is that he avoid [06:29] you notice how he avoids Israel. He [06:31] avoids giving Israel any credit. Even [06:32] when he talked about that they chant [06:34] death to America. He says they chant [06:36] death to America, death to infidels. No, [06:38] they don't. They chant death to America, [06:40] death to Israel. And he talked about how [06:42] America did this with other nations. No, [06:44] they did it with Israel. And and how and [06:47] how America took out Kami. know the [06:50] Israeli air force took out with [06:52] America's help but it was not America [06:54] who did it. So it's kind of irritating [06:56] how he deliberately he he goes to great [06:59] lengths Patrick B David to avoid giving [07:02] Israel any credit or saying anything [07:03] positive about Israel. So that kind of [07:05] irritates me but it still gives you a [07:07] pretty good idea of what the meaning [07:10] behind ali falling is. Now this whole [07:13] thing about how it's liberation, okay? [07:16] How how the death of Kamay is [07:18] liberation. And we see more celebrations [07:20] here. Here, let's look at this one and [07:22] then and then I'll talk a little bit [07:23] more [07:32] means long. [07:34] obviously a pro a pro Pali demonstrator [07:38] also celebrating the death of Kami [07:42] and there were other there were other [07:44] top brats who were killed the former [07:46] president of Iran Mahmud Ahmed Nijad [07:49] who's an evil man was also killed which [07:51] is all all good news now [07:56] Patrick McDavid talked there about [07:57] people feeling liberated what comes next [07:59] maybe maybe some of the people at the [08:01] top will put down their weapons now and [08:03] say okay let's work with you. We're [08:04] willing to work with uh with with you [08:08] guys. This this brings us into the whole [08:11] question of what regime change looks [08:14] like because and we've been talking [08:15] about it a lot. You see all the [08:16] celebrations in the streets. There's a [08:18] lot of chaos at the at the top [08:19] leadership. I think there's a lot of [08:21] premature celebrating going on. Let me [08:24] explain. Let me explain the why I think [08:26] it's premature. [08:28] this decapitation strike that was [08:30] carried out yesterday on the first day [08:32] of this where dozens of top leadership [08:36] both military leadership and political [08:38] leadership were were all eliminated in [08:40] the space of literally the first minutes [08:43] of this entire war left the leadership [08:47] in a shambles and in chaos. Meanwhile, [08:50] they're firing off whatever missiles [08:51] they can fire off. people in the IRGC [08:53] and in the in the army, they're, you [08:55] know, they're trying to attack and fight [08:56] back a little bit, but they're also [08:58] trying to get their act together at the [08:59] top. The regime has not fallen. They [09:01] they they could reinstitute some sort of [09:04] command structure and get some of their [09:06] heavies with their guns out into the [09:07] streets and start suppressing the [09:09] people. They need to weather the storm [09:11] and remain in power and they could still [09:14] come back and reinstate their reign of [09:16] terror. Okay, it is not over. They could [09:19] also ease up on the Islamic restrictions [09:21] which could make it look like the regime [09:23] is changing but it would be the same [09:24] criminals remaining in power. I've [09:26] warned about this that there's a [09:27] possibility that we will have what I [09:29] call fake regime change which looks like [09:32] regime change where you'll have people [09:33] in the second or third tier of the [09:35] bureaucracy of the leadership stepping [09:37] up and saying we're no longer Islamists. [09:40] We're willing to work with the West. [09:42] We're more moderate. This is regime [09:45] change and the west will buy it because [09:47] the west and President Trump has shown [09:48] this tendency as well. The west wants [09:52] stability. You saw this in Venezuela [09:54] where Maduro was removed and the [09:55] Americans immediately started working [09:57] with Maduro's number two who was as much [09:59] of a criminal as Maduro is. It's not [10:01] really regime change necessarily. Now, [10:04] this isn't the same as the Venezuela [10:05] situation. In Venezuela, the US actually [10:07] went in there on the ground and they [10:09] sort of took over. They're not doing [10:10] that in Iran. So if people take over [10:14] from the regime from the ayatollas who [10:17] are part of the regime really and and [10:20] bring a kind of stability and say you [10:22] know because we know how to run things [10:23] we know how the system runs and they can [10:25] and and they look legitimately like they [10:28] know how to rule but they're really the [10:29] same criminals and it really is the same [10:32] regime. It could be sold to the west as [10:34] regime change, but it won't be regime [10:36] change. And that could that could be [10:38] very uh problematic for the people of [10:41] Iran. People of Iran of course probably, [10:43] you know, won't stand for it. And then [10:45] it means more protests. There could be a [10:47] lot of chaos ahead of us. This isn't [10:49] exactly the liberation day that everyone [10:51] says it is. Although at the same time, I [10:53] understand the emotions of Iranians [10:55] because of what Patrick David said that [10:57] this this supreme leader was removed. [11:00] It's not like if you kill a president [11:01] and it's just next man up. You haven't [11:03] you haven't really touched the system. [11:05] But the supreme leader is also a [11:07] symbolic figure, a religious figure that [11:10] represents the regime in a way that most [11:12] leaders don't represent their [11:13] governments. So I understand the [11:16] significance. I'm just uh I'm just [11:18] trying not to be too polyianish and to [11:20] really uh lay out the reality here that [11:23] we are far from the regime falling. Now, [11:26] there's another celebration I wanted to [11:27] share with you because it's interesting [11:28] and can be easily misunderstood. This is [11:30] a a tweet that in Syria, there were [11:33] celebrations in Damascus suburbs as [11:35] reports of the death of Ali Kamay spread [11:37] across the region. So, here's a [11:38] celebration in Damascus. [11:41] These are Syrians in Damascus, which is [11:45] the heavenly Muslim area, and they're [11:48] celebrating the death of [11:51] Let's not make any mistakes. Let's not [11:53] have illusions about what this is. This [11:55] is not pro-western or pro-American [11:57] people celebrating the death of Hamay. [11:59] This is not the same as Persians who [12:01] want to throw off the yoke of Islamism. [12:04] The reason that that Syrians are [12:07] celebrating the death of Hamayi is that [12:09] when Assad was putting down the uh in [12:14] the Syrian civil war, the way that Assad [12:16] suppressed all the opposition and [12:18] remember a lot of the opposition were [12:19] jihadists were ISIS al-Qaeda guys. [12:22] That's why you have Ashara Alulani, [12:24] whatever his name is, the current [12:26] president. He was the leader of HTS, [12:28] which is an alqaeda ISIS offshoot. [12:31] They're the ones who ended up taking [12:32] over. The Islamists, the Sunni Islamists [12:35] in Syria were being oppressed by this [12:38] Alawite minority that Assad was part of [12:42] in cooperation [12:44] with the Iranian regime. The Iranian [12:46] regime was Assad's cooperation. They [12:48] propped up the Assad regime, suppressing [12:52] and and and persecuting all the people [12:55] of Syria. Okay. So, there were massacres [12:58] of Syrians carried out by the Iranians, [13:01] by the IRGC and in Syria in the process [13:06] of trying to prop up the Assad regime [13:08] throughout the Syrian civil war. And [13:11] that's why they're celebrating. It has [13:13] nothing to do with being pro- West or [13:15] certainly not pro- Israel or pro-America [13:17] or anything like that. It has to do with [13:19] the fact that they hate the Iranian [13:21] regime uh for their own reasons that are [13:24] unrelated. Okay. Um and finally, I want [13:28] to take a look at this uh video clip, [13:30] this two-minute video clip of Elica [13:32] Leon, who's an Iranian American, and [13:34] what she has to say about how the left [13:37] has been reacting. [13:39] >> Yeah. Yeah, I mean, first of all, let me [13:40] just say on behalf of 90 million [13:42] Iranians who didn't have the opportunity [13:44] to speak until now because they were [13:46] muzzled. Thank you to the United States. [13:49] Thank you to the United States military. [13:50] Thank you to the IDF who are the only [13:52] people who actually committed to this [13:54] rescue operation when the rest of the [13:56] world turned away. It is absolutely no [13:59] surprise that the American left are [14:00] against this uh operation because for a [14:03] long time they have been on the side of [14:05] the terrorists ever since October 7th. [14:07] nothing new, nothing different. They've [14:09] been trying to mask their their, you [14:11] know, narrative behind some type of [14:13] pro-humanity rhetoric when all along we [14:16] can see what this is really about, which [14:17] is their hatred for the West. And their [14:20] hatred for the West has never been [14:22] clearer in a situation where we are [14:24] dealing with the worst atrocity of our [14:25] time. And instead, instead of standing [14:27] behind the Iranian people who have been [14:30] screaming for help while they have been [14:32] massacred, instead they remained dead [14:34] silent. And when this rescue operation [14:37] was was enforced was the first time they [14:40] spoke up. We're talking about the mayor [14:42] of New York. We're talking about [14:43] Congress people. This is the first time [14:45] that they have spoken up not to defend [14:47] the Iranian people, but to defend the [14:49] terrorist terrorists that have been [14:51] massacring them. And that just tells you [14:53] the greatest truth of all. That just [14:55] tells you that the mask has finally [14:57] fallen. These people who tried to lie to [14:59] you, who tried to tell you that they [15:00] were all about humanity, were lying from [15:02] the beginning. And now the proof is as [15:05] clear as day. It was never about [15:06] humanity. It was never about human [15:09] rights. It was all always about hating [15:11] the West. And that famous term that the [15:13] communists once coined for those people, [15:17] useful idiots have never been clearer. [15:19] Why? It's they're useful because they [15:22] propagate communist and Islamist [15:24] propaganda. And they're idiots because [15:26] it is suicidal propaganda. While the [15:28] mask has been dropped, the truth has [15:30] been revealed. and the Iranian people [15:32] and the rest of the world and [15:34] civilization is now going to be free [15:36] thanks to the United States and Israel. [15:40] >> Well, there you go. So, the useful [15:44] idiots of the left have been have not [15:46] been celebrating Kamay's death. They [15:49] also were not, as she points out there, [15:50] they also weren't defending the Iranian [15:52] people when they were getting massacred [15:54] by their by the ruling regime. Look, [15:57] bottom line, it's great to see Iranians [15:59] celebrating in the street. It's great to [16:01] see them getting bold, pulling down [16:02] statues, [16:04] you know, and there's been reports that [16:06] they've even taken over a few towns and [16:08] pushed the IRGC out. These are the [16:10] beginnings, and we need to see more of [16:11] this. I'm not saying that it's nothing. [16:13] I'm saying it's a far cry from regime [16:16] change because the regime still has a [16:20] monopoly on weapons. They again, they're [16:22] reeling from the attack on their [16:24] leadership from a from yesterday. But [16:26] that doesn't mean that they can't [16:28] reconsolidate themselves, regain some [16:30] power and suppress these protests. And [16:33] the regime is not gone until it's gone. [16:35] The IRGC, as I pointed out many, many [16:37] times, the RGC is a massive number of [16:39] people, probably about half a million [16:40] people in total, and it's not going to [16:43] go away so easily. So, the regime has [16:45] not fallen yet, but Israel is attacking [16:47] regime targets now. And we're going to [16:49] get into that in our next update. Make [16:51] sure to check out that update as well. [16:52] It's going to we're going to record it [16:54] right after this one. And please keep [16:56] watching. Stay stay glued to this [16:59] channel because I'm going to be bringing [17:00] you updates of of what's going on, the [17:03] Israeli perspective, the geopolitical [17:05] perspective, and of course what we're [17:07] hearing from the streets of Iran as [17:09] well.
