[00:00:00] I'm an Iranian-American born and raised [00:00:01] in Southern California. Yes, sir. [00:00:02] Persian. [00:00:03] >> I love Persians. Very smart people. [00:00:05] >> I appreciate that. Um, there's been an [00:00:06] Islamic terrorist regime occupying Iran [00:00:09] since 1979. Before the Islamic [00:00:10] Revolution, Iran was one of the most [00:00:12] thriving countries in the 60s and 70s. [00:00:14] Since the revolution, the middle class [00:00:16] has died out. Women are lacking basic [00:00:17] rights and the youth are all addicts on [00:00:19] opium in the streets. The Islamic regime [00:00:21] continues to fund terrorist [00:00:22] organizations like Hezbollah, Taliban, [00:00:24] and Hamas. While the Iranian people are [00:00:26] dying and starving in the streets. What [00:00:27] needs to happen to overthrow this [00:00:28] regime? Does that involve the West? [00:00:30] >> Well, I I will say this. I'm not one to [00:00:32] like overly play into CIA narratives. Uh [00:00:34] it's America's fault that uh that Iran [00:00:37] is currently under uh the current regime [00:00:39] occupation. I mean, you know the [00:00:41] history, right? So, you had the Sha, [00:00:43] there was a democratically elected [00:00:44] Masag. I always mispronounce it, right? [00:00:46] But that was close enough, right? That [00:00:47] was close. [00:00:48] >> And then he wants to nationalize the [00:00:50] oil. Some goofy stuff happens. We get [00:00:52] involved and displace him and put the [00:00:53] Sha back in when he's sick. Super [00:00:55] unpopular. And then you get radicalism, [00:00:57] right? So, I'm not one to overplay into [00:01:00] America bad. This was a royal screw- up [00:01:02] on behalf of the American Central [00:01:03] Intelligence Agency and the British [00:01:05] intelligence. So, when you say, "What do [00:01:06] we have to do to regime change?" I'm [00:01:08] like, "Maybe we should sit this one out. [00:01:09] Let the Iranian people figure it out [00:01:11] themselves." In a sense, I'm cheering [00:01:12] for Iran to get this sorted out. It has [00:01:14] to be youthled. You know the numbers [00:01:16] better than I do, but I think that like [00:01:18] half of the population's under the age [00:01:19] of 30 in Iran. Is that right? [00:01:21] >> More than half of the Yeah. is between [00:01:22] 18 and 30 years old. has to be. Here's [00:01:24] the tragedy that Iran has a incredible [00:01:29] history of being a great nation, a [00:01:31] wealthy nation. Persians that come to [00:01:33] this country are wealthy and [00:01:34] entrepreneurial and incredible people [00:01:37] and Iran is basically a third world [00:01:38] country right now. Is that am I correct? [00:01:40] >> You are exactly correct. [00:01:41] >> And it's a tragedy and it's only because [00:01:43] Iran is being terrorized by an Islamic [00:01:45] theocratic regime. Would you agree with [00:01:47] that assessment? [00:01:48] >> Agree more. [00:01:49] >> So, as far as what America can do, I [00:01:51] mean, I don't We could probably make it [00:01:52] worse is what we could probably do. But [00:01:54] I'm I'm cheering for the people of Iran [00:01:56] to overthrow this current government. I [00:01:58] truly am because the people of Iran are [00:02:00] some of my favorite people I get to meet [00:02:01] and they're some of the most [00:02:02] pro-American people when they come to [00:02:03] this country. What is the best model for [00:02:05] a Muslim country in your view? [00:02:07] >> I guess like [00:02:10] >> I mean I I I really can't answer that. I [00:02:12] guess you just have to kind of like [00:02:14] >> do you enjoy not having to cover [00:02:15] yourself in public? [00:02:17] >> Uh yeah, I guess. So that you you don't [00:02:20] like Islam very much then because [00:02:22] majority of Islamic countries would [00:02:23] require you to have full garb in public. [00:02:25] >> That that's not fair to say that because [00:02:27] >> in Saudi Arabia, could you could you [00:02:29] dress like this in Saudi Arabia? [00:02:30] >> What am I dressed as? I'm wearing a [00:02:32] t-shirt now. [00:02:32] >> No, I know. Exactly. You can't dress [00:02:33] like that's way too much skin for Saudi [00:02:35] Arabia. Could you could you could you [00:02:36] show that much skin in Egypt? [00:02:39] >> Could you show this much skin in Iran? [00:02:40] >> Yes, you can. Cuz there's different [00:02:41] religions. There's different religions [00:02:43] there. [00:02:43] >> No, you can't. I'm sorry. This is the [00:02:44] point is that [00:02:45] >> But that's but that's Islamophobia. [00:02:46] You're basically [00:02:46] >> No, it's not Islamophobia. It's factual. [00:02:48] You literally could not dress like this [00:02:50] in the down in the streets of Riyad as a [00:02:51] woman. This is way too provocative. Way [00:02:53] too much skin. When we say Islamophobia, [00:02:56] you as a woman should stand up against [00:02:57] Islam and its treatment of women. [00:02:59] >> So you're So that is Islamophobia. Stand [00:03:01] against Islam though. [00:03:02] >> No, no. Again, there's no such thing as [00:03:04] Islamophobia. It's Islamic realism. Do [00:03:06] you think women's should be clipped at [00:03:08] age eight to make sure they don't have [00:03:09] any sexual pleasure? It's called female [00:03:10] genital mutilation. Do you believe in [00:03:12] that? [00:03:12] >> Wait, can you repeat that? Do you think [00:03:13] female should be clipped at the age of [00:03:16] eight to make sure they do not have [00:03:17] sexual pleasure for the rest of their [00:03:18] life? That that is that happens in every [00:03:20] almost every major Muslim majority [00:03:22] country in the world. [00:03:23] >> And that happens with Christians too [00:03:24] though. [00:03:24] >> No, it does not. No, it does not. No, it [00:03:27] does not. So you as a woman should stand [00:03:30] up against Islam because you as a [00:03:32] western woman are now able to dress like [00:03:33] this. You're able to experience sex with [00:03:35] pleasure. You can say what you want. You [00:03:37] cannot do that in most Muslim countries. [00:03:40] Most Muslim countries, you as a woman, [00:03:41] you'd be subjected. Your testimony [00:03:43] doesn't matter in court. You don't have [00:03:44] freedom of speech. You can't run for [00:03:46] public office. You can't own property. [00:03:47] You can't even drive. [00:03:50] >> Can go see a male doctor, but they don't [00:03:51] allow women to be doctors. Sorry. What? [00:03:53] >> So, what I'm trying to get is that [00:03:55] you're saying I shouldn't be Muslim. I [00:03:56] should [00:03:56] >> No, I'm saying you as a woman should [00:03:57] have a lot of problems with Islam. You [00:03:59] should. Absolutely. [00:03:59] >> Of course I do. And that's why I'm like [00:04:01] not conforming to certain it. But we [00:04:03] have moved so much through society. [00:04:06] >> Islam has not moved [00:04:08] >> in Iran. You couldn't dress like this. [00:04:09] You couldn't talk like this. The point [00:04:10] is this. It is Is Islam is against [00:04:12] Western values. It's incompatible with [00:04:14] Western values. And we in the West [00:04:16] actually think you should have the [00:04:17] rights that you have right now to speak [00:04:19] and to be able to show, you know, the [00:04:21] skin you show here and, you know, be [00:04:23] able to have a happy life. And in Saudi [00:04:24] Arabia and in Saudi Arabia or Iran, you [00:04:27] cannot. [00:04:28] >> Do you agree with all of those like [00:04:30] Arabs coming in or like Africans coming [00:04:32] into Europe? [00:04:33] >> I think it's first of all, it's a [00:04:34] worldview thing. Number one, I'm very [00:04:35] outspoken. I think Islam is incompat [00:04:37] incompatible with large parts of Western [00:04:39] civilization. I think Islam is. But [00:04:41] look, I mean, you make an important [00:04:42] point. If you think you could just [00:04:44] import millions of people into your [00:04:46] country and assimilation will happen [00:04:48] overnight, just because they're going to [00:04:49] start eating at McDonald's and In-N-Out [00:04:50] Burger and wearing blue jeans, it's not [00:04:52] true. And so, we want unity and [00:04:54] assimilation. And quite honestly, that's [00:04:56] why I think we should shut off all [00:04:57] immigration, legal and illegal, for the [00:04:59] time being. And as we did in the 1930s, [00:05:01] 40s, 50s, and 60s, early 60s. [00:05:03] >> I come from a family of Mexicans. I'm [00:05:05] Mexican ethnicity, and I'm an American [00:05:07] citizen. I was born here. So my parents [00:05:10] came here legally. They were they became [00:05:12] residents and then later citizens. [00:05:14] >> So I'm very grateful to be here legally. [00:05:17] >> And my question for you was you right [00:05:20] now were saying that you think too many [00:05:21] people are coming here legally from [00:05:23] outside. [00:05:24] >> Yeah. [00:05:24] >> Could you expand on that cuz I I just [00:05:26] like to learn more about it and share [00:05:27] your perspective. [00:05:28] >> Well, we have too many illegal people [00:05:30] first and foremost and we also have too [00:05:32] many legal people. Uh the illegal is a [00:05:34] bigger issue but the legal is still a [00:05:36] big issue. My current focus is on the [00:05:39] amount of Arab Muslims that are coming [00:05:41] into this country that are not [00:05:42] assimilating. And when you start to see [00:05:45] tens of thousands of people march the [00:05:46] streets chanting Middle Eastern phrases [00:05:49] such as continue the antifod, glory to [00:05:51] our martyrs, I think we should ask [00:05:53] ourselves, are we really bringing people [00:05:55] into the country that share our values? [00:05:57] So your family came here the right way. [00:05:58] You've obviously learned English, right? [00:06:00] And you consider yourself an American. [00:06:02] Let's look at just one community in [00:06:04] particular. And I know I'm running the [00:06:06] risk of, you know, painting it with too [00:06:08] broad of a brush, but the Somali Muslim [00:06:10] community in Minnesota has not made [00:06:12] deliberate attempts to assimilate with [00:06:13] the American experience. [00:06:14] >> Yeah. Uh I think illegal uh immigrants [00:06:17] is a huge issue because many people are [00:06:19] quick to defend it, but the issue is [00:06:21] when someone comes in illegally, they [00:06:23] don't have representation. And I feel [00:06:25] like a lot of people can go missing or [00:06:26] bad things happen. [00:06:28] >> Well, your family deserves great credit. [00:06:29] They came here the right way and I wish [00:06:31] more people did. God bless you. Say no.
