Transcript [00:00] that Gerald Ford just entered the [00:02] Mediterranean. Here's what that looks [00:04] like. [00:20] Okay. So, that is a one big ship uh that [00:23] has come into the the Mediterranean. Um, [00:28] and and we're talking about a narrative [00:31] war, but there's a very kinetic war that [00:34] is about to happen. Let's watch an [00:37] Israeli news report. Actually, let's [00:38] watch an Israeli news report from [00:40] Channel 11, uh, about what's happening [00:42] in Iran and the the the preparations for [00:45] war here in the Middle East. Let's let's [00:46] take a watch. [01:02] Okay. So, let's just understand what [01:03] we're seeing here. We're watching [01:04] Iranian students loudly, violently [01:07] wearing all black and standing up to the [01:09] regime. Now, now just understand what [01:11] we're talking about. We're talking about [01:14] their brothers and sisters. [01:16] 50,000 60,000 I don't know some number [01:21] was were murdered in the streets this [01:23] standing in protest although it's in [01:25] large groups it doesn't mean that you're [01:27] going to be safe so there's courage [01:28] that's happening here there's courage [01:30] that's happening here and they are [01:32] they're calling death to the dictator to [01:35] the regime that's what's happening in [01:36] Iran right now [01:40] [screaming] [01:46] 40 days they're they're they're [01:47] commemorating 40 days since the the the [01:50] the great bloodletting in the streets of [01:52] Iran. [02:01] They're using the the uh 40 days the [02:05] morning period as also a protest. So [02:08] they're using they're they're wearing [02:09] black and there's there's it's not just [02:11] mourning, it's actually a protest [02:12] movement. [02:25] Okay. My child is actually a child of [02:27] Iran and basically the regime murdered [02:29] him. [applause] [02:31] >> 32,000 people were killed over a [02:34] relatively short period of time. [02:36] >> Wow. So that's, you know, that's Trump [02:38] saying 32,000. So that's like official [02:40] numbers, but who knows what the real [02:42] number is? They were going to hang 800 [02:45] two weeks ago. Hang. Hang. And I gave [02:48] them the word if you hang one person, [02:51] even one person, that you're going to be [02:53] hit right then and there. I wasn't [02:55] waiting two weeks and negotiating. And [02:57] they gave up the hanging. They didn't [02:59] hang 837. [03:00] >> Yeah. But they killed 36,000, bro. [03:03] >> Exactly. [03:03] >> You know what I mean? [laughter] [03:05] Okay. It's like they didn't hang him. [03:07] Yeah. No, but they shot the people in [03:09] the street. [03:09] >> Yeah. He They didn't hang them. And also [03:11] Donald with all due respect came and [03:13] told the Iranians go to the streets, [03:14] take names, help us in the way. And I [03:16] feel that that was in some way a bit [03:19] misleading because they were thinking, [03:21] okay, if we come up now cuz remember on [03:25] the 12-day war when Israel went and did [03:27] the miraculous, you know, operation [03:29] there, the Iranians the they were [03:31] shocked. They didn't like whoa whoa [03:33] whoa. And there was a lot of feeling of [03:35] missing there. like if we would have [03:37] went to the street then maybe we would [03:39] have been able to take down the regime. [03:42] So now come [03:45] and uh sorry was I uh [03:48] >> yeah we lost you for a second. [03:49] >> All right then we got you got we got you [03:51] back. Go ahead. Say it again. So [03:52] exactly. So remember on the 12- day war [03:54] when the Msad and the IDF did what they [03:56] did, the Iranian people had this like [03:58] feeling of miss because they didn't run [04:00] to the streets and they kept thinking if [04:02] we would have went to the streets and [04:03] would have fought for it, maybe would [04:04] have taken our country back from that [04:06] wicked uh Islamic regime. So now comes [04:09] rounds two and they hear Donald Trump [04:11] saying not only Israel, now it's [04:12] America. We are with you. Go out, take [04:15] names. So they felt like okay, we can't [04:17] do the same mistake like last time. We [04:18] need to go. And they went in thousands [04:20] of numbers. But then it start getting [04:22] dragged and dragged and dragged and now [04:24] you're having just thousands of people [04:26] being killed. But what's admirable is [04:28] seeing that they're still going. These [04:30] are people you need to understand these [04:32] wicked regimes like the Islamic Republic [04:34] of Iran, Hisbala and all these you know [04:36] other regimes. They don't work first of [04:39] all to defend their citizens from other [04:41] threats. Their first military focus is [04:45] how can we oppress our people and [04:46] protect the government from their own [04:48] people. So they're very good at killing [04:50] their own people. Only when they [04:51] establish that now they're safe from the [04:54] people who might revolt to come and take [04:56] them down because they're oppressing [04:57] them. Only then they start focusing [04:59] outwards. So they're very good at [05:00] killing their own people. So [05:02] >> that's right. [05:02] >> The people in Iran are extreme. They [05:05] don't have guns. They're not like in [05:06] America where people can have guns. [05:07] People can protect themselves. They have [05:08] nothing. They're literally going in the [05:10] streets and they're dying in the most [05:12] horrific way. And if there was ever a [05:14] cause that the West should rally behind, [05:17] that would be that. You can still be an [05:19] anti-Semite and hate the Jews, hate [05:22] Israel, but stand with Iranians. They're [05:23] not Semite, they're not Jews. You can [05:25] still stand with them. So, come on, [05:27] guys. You hate us. Okay, hate us, but at [05:29] least stand with them. But, you know, [05:32] it's unbelievable, [05:33] >> right? Well, you know, you know, you [05:35] know, one one of one of the things that [05:36] people understand is that somehow if if [05:41] you support the Iranian people, you're [05:44] really supporting the fall of the [05:45] Iranian regime. And the fall of the [05:47] Iranian regime means you're falling [05:50] means you're causing the fall of Hamas, [05:54] the Houthis, and you know that Israel is [05:57] going to prosper. Sometimes I think to [05:59] myself that one of the reasons that so [06:01] many of the Arab countries are telling [06:03] Trump not to strike Iran because they [06:05] make the calculation that in the end of [06:07] this Israel will be stronger and I don't [06:09] want Israel to be stronger. That bothers [06:11] me and so like I I rather you know that [06:13] we face because don't forget these other [06:15] Arab countries also face the scourge of [06:17] Iran [06:18] >> and and also is they're afraid that's [06:20] the thing that's that makes the Muslims [06:22] in the world fear the most and people [06:24] miss that all the time. They're afraid [06:26] of losing land that is under Islam. [06:29] Doesn't matter if it's Shia or Sunni [06:31] right now. And they're seeing that the [06:33] the Iranian people are secular. They [06:35] want to kick away Islam. So in their [06:36] head, the outcome here will mean that [06:39] the um the Islamic um will have less [06:41] land that have Sharia implemented on it. [06:44] Same thing with Syria. They were afraid [06:45] that the Jews will get autonomy, the [06:47] Christians and other that mean that the [06:49] land that is under Sharia, the [06:50] oppression of Sharia will not be [06:52] anymore. Same thing with Palestine. [06:53] Saudi Arabia was all against Palestine. [06:54] And all of a sudden, Donald Trump comes [06:56] and says, "Let's buy it." Like, "Whoa, [06:57] whoa, no, no, no, no, no." All of a [06:59] sudden, they're prop Palestine because [07:00] again, Muslims losing their gra over [07:03] land. And it's always been the game. [07:05] They want to conquer the world and [07:07] they're not willing to give a piece of [07:10] land to the Christians or the Jews [07:11] because that's a big big loss to their [07:13] prophet Muhammad and etc. But I want to [07:15] ask you a question, Isha, actually. [07:17] That's a very that's something that I [07:18] haven't had an answer for. [07:20] Let's say now we take down, we topple [07:23] the Iranian regime, [07:25] which I think Israel wants that, America [07:27] wants that. It's a great thing. [07:29] But could the Iranian people actually [07:33] make a better country for themselves? I [07:34] mean, the Iranian regime now, it's not [07:37] like there's like 30 really evil people [07:39] and the rest like it's using their own [07:41] people. So, they have a lot of [07:43] pro-Iranian regime people there. So, [07:46] what what do you think is going to [07:47] happen? Do you think they're capable of [07:49] actually taking that country and making [07:50] it better or is it going to become chaos [07:52] and mayhem? [07:53] >> You know, I don't know enough about [07:55] about the the makeup of Iran. I I've [07:57] never really been there. I've spoken to [07:59] a lot of people. Some people tell me, [08:00] experts tell me that it's like 30% are [08:03] anti-regime, 30% are pro- regime, and [08:06] 30% want an Islamic state, but that is [08:08] not as radical and not as harsh, but [08:11] still want to. That's what I heard from [08:12] one source. I when when I had guests on [08:16] saying that the Iranian people still [08:18] want some kind of Islamic country uh I [08:21] had lots of Iranian people writing to me [08:23] saying you don't know anything and and [08:25] we we want liberty and freedom. I also [08:27] see that they have this resalvi that [08:30] they uh uh that who seems like an [08:32] amazing person really who who there a [08:34] lot of people are backing. So I I don't [08:36] really know the answer. Like it's it's a [08:38] little you know what I mean? Like Iran [08:40] is a very it's a has a lot of different [08:42] peoples in it. Uh different ethnicities. [08:46] It it is on the one hand an ancient [08:48] country. On the other hand, it's got all [08:50] these other peoples like you know Zeris [08:51] and other people that are that are [08:53] there. And [snorts] so um you you know [08:55] it's one of these things where it's if [08:56] you ask me about Israel, you ask me [08:58] about the Arabs in my region, I know a [09:00] lot about it because I've seen it. I [09:01] felt it. I I feel in general that it's [09:03] very hard to talk about a country until [09:05] you're there, until you've seen it for [09:07] yourself. And the only thing that I've [09:09] seen is, you know, the show Tehran and [09:11] I've also been to Los Angeles to like I [09:13] don't know enough really to to say it. [09:16] Um but I trust that the people of Iran [09:20] are smart, are ancient, and they'll find [09:22] a way to have a better regime. I think [09:26] that they regret the 1979 [09:29] uh um revolution and I see those [09:33] students in the streets and I want to [09:34] believe, you know, now now the one thing [09:36] I I think I would I would say to you is [09:39] let's not make the same mistake that we [09:40] made in Iraq thinking that like let's [09:43] just go in there, we'll liberate the [09:44] people and and they'll just work it out [09:46] magically. No, they're probably going to [09:48] need some some counseling, some helping, [09:51] maybe some intermediate government that [09:54] is forced and then the people will start [09:56] to get organized, not just to leave it [09:58] to itself into into bloodletting and to [10:00] into, you know, chaos. So, I would say [10:03] that we have to, you know, make a make a [10:04] plan. But your critique or question and [10:07] critique is fair. I've heard that from [10:09] other people as well saying there [10:10] doesn't seem to be a very planned out uh [10:14] uh revolution that that there's not like [10:17] a government that's waiting to come in. [10:19] >> I would ask our friend Meer Tusi uh who [10:22] came on the show and you know he he's a [10:24] he's an Iranian guy and he he knows the [10:25] stuff just like I would ask you about [10:27] about Drews uh and and what they're [10:29] doing and how they're fairing. By the [10:31] way, how are the in short and I want to [10:32] go to my next guest but I just want to [10:34] ask you Mansour Ashkar how are the Drews [10:37] fairing? You and I a few months ago were [10:39] on together. They were being massacred [10:41] by the Syrian regime. Syrian jihadist [10:44] ISIS type regime is still there. How are [10:46] your friends and family and and and the [10:49] people that you represent doing? [10:51] >> So, they're not doing too well. They're [10:53] still under siege more than 224 days if [10:56] I'm not mistaken. Under siege, cannot [10:58] leave the mountain. Uh if they go out, [11:00] they get picked, shot, kidnapped, and [11:02] murdered. and uh not not only them but [11:06] also all the other minorities as we're [11:08] speaking if people haven't noticed [11:09] whenever there's a big world catastrophe [11:12] or event that's when the Syrian regime [11:13] choose to focus on another eth ethnicity [11:16] and basically cleanse them so now the [11:18] war in Iran they went on the Kurds when [11:20] everybody's eyes on Iran they went on [11:22] the Kurds before they went on the Jews [11:23] and the Christians and [11:25] >> and before that with on the Alawites [11:27] >> on the Alawites exactly so every [11:29] minority which was the whole idea before [11:32] to cleanse Syria from all the [11:34] non-Muslims. So if you're talking about [11:35] a real ethnic cleansing that is [11:36] happening, it's in Syria. Now, what's [11:38] concerning to most right now, the Jews [11:41] and the Christians and other minorities [11:42] in Syria is seeing how all of a sudden [11:45] under the leadership of Tom Barak, [11:47] America have abandoned the Kurds, which [11:50] were their allies on the ground, and [11:51] went and sided with ISIS and al-Qaeda. [11:54] And then they went and killed the Kurds [11:56] and released all the prisoners from the [11:58] jails. literally released ISIS prisoners [12:00] with Syrian soldiers wearing ISIS [12:02] patches and did that with the support of [12:05] America because Stone Barak went in with [12:06] a clear statement even we are now with [12:08] these guys they're helping us fight ISIS [12:10] but they're not. So the people in Syria [12:13] are seeing that and they're terrified [12:15] because like wow next round is going to [12:18] come again and it looks like they [12:19] managed to actually fool the Americans [12:22] to believe that ISIS and al-Qaeda are [12:24] the good guys and anyone who's fighting [12:26] is the bad guys which is something [12:27] unheard of. [12:28] And the America the average American [12:30] doesn't even know about that. [12:33] You know here you want to hear a crazy [12:36] conspiracy one that that's a good one [12:38] actually. So [12:40] Kurdish soldiers who were fighting with [12:43] America to defeat ISIS who are backed up [12:46] and trained by the US and they received [12:48] US equipment that had a dead man switch [12:50] in it which mean if it ever falls into [12:52] the hands of ISIS, America had the power [12:54] to stop that equipment from working from [12:56] rocket launchers all the way to armored [12:58] vehicles and etc. [12:59] Some Kurdish reports are saying that [13:02] these weapons and technology stopped [13:05] working when ISIS and al-Qaeda came to [13:07] attack them because the Kurds were the [13:09] strongest army in Syria. The strongest. [13:12] And they were taken down in two days. [13:14] Unbelievable. Like completely. So some [13:17] of them are saying, "Did America shut [13:19] the switch on us? [13:20] >> What happened here?" Or the Turks, the [13:23] Turks got permission from the Americans [13:25] tell them, "Listen, shut the switch. [13:27] We're going to go fight ISIS." So they [13:28] sold them this kind of lie and America [13:30] said okay Tom Barak convinced the US [13:32] listen guys and Tom Barak is very very [13:35] invested. I call Tom Barak the ep the [13:37] Arab epste of the Arab world. If you see [13:40] the the level of corruption that he is [13:42] in it when it comes to Arab elites in [13:44] the Middle East is insane. He was [13:45] investigated by the DOJ for that. For [13:47] that exactly, for being an agent for [13:49] these countries and he was also in the [13:51] Epstein file and he's right now leading [13:54] this thing that is devastating, [13:55] catastrophic for Israel, for the Middle [13:57] East, for all the minorities, which is [13:59] empowering Turkey and the jihad in Syria [14:02] to come and be the strong force that [14:05] take Syria and bring again an October [14:07] 7th threat into our borders. They also [14:09] want to put them in Gaza. [14:12] Mansour, I'm going to ask you to send me [14:14] some more information, videos or [14:16] articles on this. I need to know more [14:17] about this. I feel like I don't know [14:19] enough about it and I'm going to read [14:20] about it and then have you on again to [14:22] discuss what's really going on. Uh I [14:24] don't like to be, you know, outside of [14:25] the no and I don't I don't know [14:27] everything you're talking about. And you [14:29] know what? [14:31] Again, it's this moment where I say [14:33] Israel had a chance, has a chance to [14:35] empower the Drews, empower the Kurds, [14:38] empower others, make them part of the [14:41] satellites, [14:42] arm them, train them, give them [14:45] independence, and help create a a kind [14:48] of puzzle of the Middle East of anti- [14:50] Jihad uh uh pro- liberty, pro peace uh [14:54] folks that are united in a kind of belt [14:56] uh that pushes back on jihadism. That's [14:58] not what's happening. Uh that's not what [15:00] we're seeing. [15:01] >> Mansour, I want to thank you so much for [15:02] being with us. You're an Israeli Drews, [15:05] uh a father, former IDF special forces [15:07] officer. You live abroad, you're a [15:09] YouTuber, and you're out in Oregon [15:11] shooting guns with friends. I hope you [15:13] enjoy the time there and wish you lots [15:15] of blessings. Thank you so much for [15:16] coming on in on such short notice. [15:18] Appreciate it. [15:18] >> Thank you, Sh. The pleasure is mine.
