Transcript [00:00] Hey everybody, it is Tuesday, January [00:02] 13th, and we have more important updates [00:06] from from the protest, from what is [00:08] going on in Iran. Breaking news. [00:11] Breaking news. Just now, a few minutes [00:12] ago, President Trump tweeted the [00:15] following. Iranian patriots, keep [00:17] protesting. Take over your institutions. [00:20] Save the names of the killers and [00:22] abusers. They will pay a big price. I [00:25] have cancelled all meetings with Iranian [00:27] officials until the senseless killing of [00:29] protesters stops. Help is on its way. [00:34] MIG Migga, make Iran great again. [00:36] President Donald J. Trump. Help is on [00:38] its way. And this fits in with what [00:41] we've been talking about uh where you [00:43] know as I said in one of my earlier [00:45] updates that President Trump is has [00:49] doubled down by mentioning I mentioned [00:51] that he mentioned Obama making threats [00:53] and not making good on them and what he [00:55] said on Air Force One about how we may [00:58] have to attack before negotiating. This [01:00] also signals that he's moving in that [01:02] direction. So that is a huge huge update [01:06] and all eyes of course are on President [01:08] Trump. But there's a whole lot more [01:10] going on in Iran besides this tweet. So, [01:14] just to lay the groundwork for it, let's [01:16] go through some of the big stories. One [01:17] of the big developments is that the [01:19] Iranian regime has announced that they [01:22] will be executing [01:24] um they will be executing a young man [01:27] who was one of the protesters. Here, [01:29] here's the headline in Fox News. Iran [01:31] set to hang protesters in what would [01:34] mark first execution tied to anti-regime [01:37] demonstrations. The protester is 26 [01:39] years old. His name is Ephran Sultani. [01:42] And there are human rights groups from [01:43] Iran u the human rights group Iran human [01:47] rights and national union for democracy [01:48] that are calling on the world to [01:50] intervene to save him from being killed. [01:52] And this would be of course a crime [01:54] against humanity. The crime that he is [01:57] being charged with is waging war against [02:00] God which is a ch which is a crime that [02:02] is punishable by death in Iran. And this [02:05] has only increased the calls for the US [02:08] to intervene. We've mentioned many times [02:09] that President Trump has warned the [02:11] Iranians that uh deadly violence against [02:14] the protesters would result in a US [02:16] military response. But there's also been [02:18] leaks, there's been reports coming out [02:21] from Washington over the last day that [02:25] Vice President JD Vance and the people [02:26] around him are pressuring President [02:28] Trump not to take military action. We [02:30] also know that the Qataris, not [02:32] surprising, are also pressuring [02:33] President Trump not to take military [02:35] action while others are pressuring him [02:37] to take military action. And I in this [02:40] particular situation, I really believe [02:42] it is immoral and misguided to go into [02:44] negotiations because what are you going [02:45] to negotiate? You want to throw a [02:48] lifeline to the regime so that they [02:49] don't fall and you can come to some sort [02:51] of accommodation so they don't have [02:52] nuclear weapons but continue to uh [02:54] oppress their people. That would be a [02:56] disaster. And of course, President Trump [02:58] already gave his ultimatums. One of the [03:00] loudest voices arguing against American [03:03] intervention is as usual, Senator Ran [03:06] Paul of Kentucky. And at the end of this [03:08] quote that I'm going to read to you, he [03:09] says something that really speaks to the [03:12] misunderstanding that so many people in [03:14] the West have about Iran. So here's his [03:17] quote. We wish them the best. We wish [03:20] freedom and liberation the best across [03:22] the world. But I don't think it's the [03:24] job of the American government to be [03:26] involved with every freedom movement [03:28] around the world. If you bomb the [03:29] government, do you then rally the people [03:31] to their flag who are upset with the [03:34] Ayatollah, but then say, "Well, gosh, we [03:36] can't have a foreign government invading [03:39] or bombing our country." It tends to [03:42] have people rally to the cause. Now, [03:45] this is uh an interesting uh piece of [03:49] logic. If only it were true. It's just [03:51] not true. The Iranian people, and I've [03:53] mentioned this in some previous updates, [03:55] the Iranian people are very anti- the [03:57] regime. There is a tremendous disconnect [03:59] between them and then the regime, and [04:02] they were actually they've been asking, [04:04] the Iranian people have been asking for [04:06] the Western nations to intervene. During [04:08] the 12-day war with Israel, the Iranian [04:11] people were actually cheering on the [04:13] Israelis and which sounds a little crazy [04:16] to people. They were cheering on the [04:17] Israelis because they want their regime [04:19] to fall. They are anti their regime. [04:22] There is no indication that this [04:24] fear-mongering that if America steps in [04:26] or Israel steps in, it'll rally people [04:28] around the regime that they're trying to [04:29] topple have any credibility at all. But [04:32] this is what Rand Paul is saying. Ran [04:33] Paul is always against American [04:35] intervention everywhere. Um, but there's [04:38] a a fascinating interview from when he [04:41] was still a senator that vi who's [04:43] currently vice president Rubio gave [04:45] where he really shows a clarity on this [04:48] exact point that I want to share with [04:49] you. Um, let's go to that video now and [04:52] then I'll say something about it when we [04:54] come back. [04:55] >> The Iranian regime tomorrow said, "Look, [04:56] we're going to stop trying to become the [04:59] regional power. We're going to stop our [05:00] nuclear weapons. We're going to stop [05:01] sponsoring terrorism. We're going to [05:03] stop trying to kill you." Which is what [05:04] they're trying to do with Donald Trump. [05:06] we're going to stop all of these things. [05:07] Theoretically, yeah, of course you could [05:09] work something like that out. That's [05:10] just, I think, unlikely because they [05:12] that's the very driving mission and [05:14] purpose of the regime. I think one of [05:16] the things he says in that statement, [05:18] which I think points to something very [05:19] clearly, is the Iranian people are [05:21] nothing like the regime. I know a few [05:23] countries in the world whose leaders and [05:25] its people are more different. The [05:26] Iranian people are not seeking to be a [05:29] regional hegemonic power. They're not [05:31] seeking to sponsor terrorism. In fact, [05:33] there's a lot of pressure inside of Iran [05:34] among people arguing with all the [05:36] problems they have at home. Why are they [05:38] spending all this money on Shia militias [05:40] and terrorists and Hezbollah and helping [05:42] Hamas and and building terrorist [05:44] networks in the West Bank? So, ideally, [05:46] that's the world we'd love to live in. [05:48] And if that opportunity presents itself, [05:49] who wouldn't take it? What we can't have [05:51] is a world in which Iran has unlimited [05:53] resources to continue to sponsor [05:55] terrorism, build towards nuclear [05:57] capability and build these long range [05:59] rockets and missiles that they now have [06:01] and have developed just in the last few [06:03] years that threaten not just Israel and [06:05] the entire region. But [06:07] so there you have it. That's uh that's [06:09] Marco Rubio back when he was a senator, [06:11] but really showing some some real [06:13] clarity on the issue that as he put it [06:16] there, he said, "I don't know of another [06:18] country with a greater disconnect [06:19] between the population and the people [06:21] who are ruling them." And and we've [06:23] talked about this also in terms of Islam [06:25] in our previous updates uh that the [06:27] Iranian people have are really anti- the [06:30] regime. So this fear-mongering about how [06:32] they might uh you know it it if a if a [06:35] western power intervenes it could it [06:37] could make the people rally around the [06:39] regime is just absolutely absurd. If [06:41] anything the rage against the the um the [06:45] regime is only getting more significant [06:48] despite the fact that so many of the [06:49] protesters are being killed and being [06:51] attacked by the regime forces. It that [06:53] has not deterred them at all from [06:56] continuing the protests. In fact, the [06:58] protests, it seems, thank God, are only [07:01] getting bigger. So, let's take a look at [07:03] uh at some of the protest footage we [07:05] have here. [07:07] Um, and this really, you can really see [07:10] what's happening on the streets in in uh [07:12] in Iran. Take a look at [07:17] >> death to the dictator. That's what [07:18] they're saying there. [07:27] Streets are just filled filled end to [07:30] end. [07:39] [music] [07:45] >> [music] [07:49] >> You know, it doesn't look like any of [07:51] this is ending anytime soon. In fact, it [07:54] only looks like it's ramping up. You [07:56] know, take a look at the flyers. This is [07:58] all footage from the last couple of [08:00] days. [08:10] It's amaz It's really is amazing. No [08:11] matter how much they've been put down [08:13] and they've been shot at. And what's [08:16] what's also come out the last couple [08:17] days is actual footage of the regime [08:21] forces shooting at people. So, you have [08:23] there's a couple uh citizens with their, [08:26] you know, with their cameras, with their [08:28] phones who are filming these these [08:30] protesters running away. And what you're [08:31] going to see in this video, watch [08:33] carefully. What you're going to see in [08:34] this video is then regime forces pull up [08:37] and start actually shooting at people. [08:38] So, this is real footage of live fire of [08:42] protesters being fired upon by regime [08:45] forces. Take a look at this incredible [08:47] video. [08:50] Protesters running away. [08:54] Here come the regime forces. [09:04] And yet the protests continue. They [09:06] continue to be very large. Here's [09:08] another piece of footage. Also here, [09:10] what you're going to see in this one is [09:12] the regime forces up here on the uh uh [09:15] on this upper floor firing live fire. [09:18] And it was slowed down so you could see [09:20] it. Live fire into a crowd of [09:22] protesters. Have a look. [09:32] So they are opening fire on the [09:34] protesters. We are seeing that uh we're [09:36] seeing that uh everywhere now. And look [09:40] this the world is waiting to see what [09:43] President Trump is going to do. There [09:45] are more and more indications that he is [09:47] going to take action. And I I cannot [09:49] stress enough how misguided it is for [09:52] those in in the JD Vance camp in the [09:55] administration to be talking about, you [09:58] know, going back into negotiations. [10:00] If there if this ends with the regime [10:02] remaining in power because the Americans [10:05] stepped in and negotiated with the [10:06] regime so that they could retain their [10:08] power, which would essentially throw the [10:10] Persian people under the bus for who [10:12] knows how long. It would result in the [10:14] deaths and and incarceration of so many [10:16] people. And as Marco Rubio said in that [10:19] Meet the Press interview that we played [10:20] a little earlier, the the whole [10:24] lifeblood of this regime is the ideology [10:27] of taking down Israel, destroying [10:29] Israel, destroying America, destroying [10:31] the West. That's what they invest their [10:33] money in. If they wanted to survive by [10:36] giving their people a better life [10:37] instead of funding militias and [10:40] terrorists all over the region, all over [10:41] the world, they would have done that a [10:43] long time ago. There is no way to make [10:46] an accommodation with this regime that [10:48] will mean that it will suddenly become a [10:50] moderate peaceful actor that will care [10:51] more about the peace and prosperity of [10:53] its people than about jihad. So I, you [10:57] know, this is a real moment of truth for [10:59] President Trump and uh, you know, we [11:02] need to spread the word about what's [11:03] actually happening in Iran and pray for [11:06] the people of Iran and pray for [11:07] President Trump to make the right [11:09] decision.
