Will Trump INTERVENE in the Iranian REVOLUTION?

What this episode is about

The discussion centers on the escalating violence in Iran, particularly the deaths of protesters amid a significant uprising against oppressive regimes. It explores the potential responses from Donald Trump, who has warned of military intervention if the situation worsens, as well as insights from human rights activist Goldie Gamari on the revolution's growth and the increasing state oppression faced by demonstrators.

Key takeaways

• When leaders lose control, they often respond with violence—Iran shows us that blinding truth.
• Elon Musk's Starlink is the unsung hero of a revolution, proving tech can transcend governmental oppression.
• Forget the notion of dismissing Trump; in crises, his decisiveness transforms perception—action speaks louder than words.
• 2023 Iran's protests reveal a stark paradox: a regime afraid of an unarmed populace demanding freedom.
• The Iranian tragedy underscores a profound lesson: when silence falls, chaos blooms; voices must not be stifled.

Full transcript with timestamps

0:00 There seem to be some people killed that aren't supposed to be killed. These are violent, if you call them leaders, I don't know if they're leaders or just they they rule through violence, but we're looking at it very seriously. The military is looking at it and uh we're looking at some very strong options. We'll make a determination. Some of the protesters were killed through the stampeding. I mean, you know, there's so many of them and some were shot. Are we getting a full report? I'm getting an hourly report and we're going to make a determination.

0:33 Um, we are in a we're in a dangerous situation. Uh, Donald Trump is uh not somebody who words you should dismiss if you are talking about him going in and taking care of a situation. Uh, for a guy who does not like war, he he goes and he uses our military strategically, quickly. Um, but you know, again, everything in the world is on the edge. uh and he's kind of in a tough place because he has said you start killing the protesters and uh we're locked and loaded. The president blows all of the credibility he's had around that he's built up because he is a man of action, a man of his word. How is he going to react? Uh Goldie uh Gamari is with us now. She was on with us last week. Uh Persian. Uh were you ever a citizen of Iran? Did you were were you living in Iran when you when when this thing fell or did you come with your parents?

1:31 So, uh I was born after the 1979 Islamics coup d'eta. I was I was born in Iran. Uh but my parents came to Canada when I was a year old.

1:39 Okay. Um and you are a human rights activist and and watching this and you care deeply obviously. Um tell us what happened over the weekend before we get into Trump. What happened over the weekend? they that seemed to have been growing but at the same time the oppressions seem to be growing.

1:59 Yes. So the the movement uh the revolution has definitely escalated. Um we saw videos coming out uh footage of millions and millions of Iranians all across the country uh going out into the streets and peacefully marching uh peacefully demonstrating and they're they were saying this is the final battle. Palvi will return. Palavi is of course the the crown prince uh Palavi who's the leader of the Iranian national revolution. But uh you're you're absolutely right. At the same time we started to see escalating violence and uh this is what the regime does. So, so right now we're in the endg game and the reason that the violence uh is being escalated is because the regime knows that um that it's on its way down and it's basically going scorched earth. So what we do know and you know we spoke about this last time Glenn where I said um one of the interesting things about what we have seen so far like this was

2:59 last week is that the internet still hasn't been shut down and I predicted that I think someone has been smuggling Starlink into the country and just a few days ago Elon Musk confirmed that he is actually assisted in in in you know bringing hundreds of thousands of Starlink devices into occupied Iran. So, first of all, I want to big give a big big shout out to Elon Musk. He is he is a a hero of the Iranian revolution. Yeah. And Iranians love him. Um, so, so that's how we've been able to get footage come out because what the Islamic dictatorship has done now is, uh, they have shut down the internet.

3:35 They've, you know, cut cut it completely. And we always know that when that happens, that's when they slaughter Iranians. And uh so um the crown prince ladi he has the most um reliable sources and yesterday he did an interview um with uh Maria Barb to Romo on Sunday morning features and he confirmed uh that as of yesterday uh the number of casualties um in occupied Iran is more than um 9/11. So so we know that for a fact. Um, but we also know that this is the final final push and President Trump's message um has given Iranians a lot of hope. Um, we know that uh he's going to act because he is a man of his word. It's just a matter of of when. So, we're all we're all hoping that President Trump acts sooner rather than later because the situation um it's it's gotten really bad. It's gotten really bad. Um Yeah. How how should he react?

4:37 What should the president do? I I'm not I'm not a military strategist, so I can't I can't say obviously. I mean, we don't want like World War II or anything like that, but um you know, Marco Rubio said it best. there's never been um a population where you know there's never been like a situation where the people of a country are so fundamentally opposed to to those who are running the country. So um all I can say is that we all trust in President Trump. We trust um in his in his expertise. We know that whatever decision he's going to make is is the right one. Um Iranians like they're not giving up. They're still out in the streets. They're still fighting. Um the these you know what so when uh when the Islamic regime found out that Elon Musk had helped smuggle in Starlink, they have now brought in militaryra um jammers from that they purchased from the CCP and those military grade jammers

5:36 are have now jammed the Starlink. So So we're getting even even less um even less uh videos coming out which means the situation is pretty bad. We know that the Islamic regime, they've also brought in their terrorist proxy forces, but the the few messages that we are able to get from inside occupied Iran, um what Iranians are telling us is that yes, the situation is bad. And you know, what we're seeing right now or what we're hearing about in terms of the casualties, it's maybe only like 20 or 30% of the of the truth, like of of the actual numbers. But what they're saying is that now is not the time um for for tears. This is the final battle and what Iranians are asking um for those of us who are outside of Iran is to be their voice and to just let people know that even though um the internet is shut down, that doesn't mean that the revolution isn't happening. In fact, the revolution is is growing. It's it's

6:32 basically everyone now. Everyone is out in the streets and it's now or never. and Iranians uh they they they can smell um and taste freedom after 47 years of of Islamic oppression.

6:45 I will tell you that uh you know I I I pray for the Iranian and the Persian people. I pray for this evil evil regime to uh come down. I I do not want our troops to get involved in a another foreign war. Um, but I don't I don't think that it's going to take much from President Trump if

7:07 if we withdraw our support or we remain silent. It's going to end up the way it did under Biden and Barack Obama. And that only strengthens our our enemy at times. It'll make them stronger at least for a short period of time. Um and and it will become very very uh very very dangerous for everybody involved and uh make the people that want to go march in the street the next time a little more hesitant because this time we said something uh and uh I I I'm glad I'm not the president today. Let me just say that. I'm glad I'm not the president today and I pray that he makes the right decision for everybody uh involved.

7:46 Thank you. Go ahead. I'm I'm sure I'm sure he will. And you know, I agree with you. Um, I don't want boots on the ground. No, no. Iranians want like like we don't the Iranian people themselves are the boots on the ground. Yes.

7:59 So, in that sense, you know, we don't want, you know, we don't want to, you know, drag people into another war or anything like that. But, uh, again, I'm not a military strategist, but, you know, like maybe president, like I'm hoping he does something like, you know, what he did with the nuclear facilities. I don't know. I mean, maybe something like that. Um but uh but what I can say is that you know Iranians they're hopeful and um the crown prince he actually put out a very interesting message yesterday to Iranian people that the mainstream media are not picking up on. So he actually

8:32 so he confirmed yesterday he said we are not alone and international help is on the way. So so he actually said that um in his message. So so that to me gives me hope. uh and it's given 90 million Iranians hope that President Trump will be doing something and you know we we have uh faith in him that whatever decision it is it's going to be the best possible decision for everyone. We have one shot at this and uh and you know President Trump um he knows best. He knows best. He he has the intel. So we're all very hopeful. Uh you know like President Trump has never been more more popular right now in um in occupied Iran. Iranians are literally going out and they're renaming signs after him.

9:16 Say call calling it uh President Trump's street. But but not only that, um Iranians are also know how much support they have from from you know everyone um outside. And there's actually just one thing I wanted to to say to you personally, Glenn. Um um I someone told me to check your your profile last night and when I checked your your profile pictures um I got a little emotional. I'm not going to say I'm I got I got a little bit emotional um because what you did um you know for for your listeners if if they don't know um you you changed your bio picture to to the real flag of Iran and that is just so um so meaningful and I can say that on behalf of all all Iranians. We're so grateful for for the solidarity that we're seeing from Americans because we feel like this is the first time in 47 years that um people are realizing that we're we're not the enemy of America. We we love America. We love Americans. We used to

10:24 be allies before 1979. And and it's, you know, we're both fighting the same enemy, which is this evil um Islamic dictatorship. So, you know, a free Iran is going to mean a safer America. And I just I cannot wait until um until we can you know uh be like officially right be allies again. So just I want to thank you for your support of solidarity. That's such a meaningful gesture.

10:48 You are more than welcome. I urge everybody to put on your put on your social media just put a the real flag of Iran which is it looks just like the Iranian flag except it doesn't have the Islamic thing in the middle. It has the golden tiger uh in the center uh or lion, sorry. Yeah, the the golden lion.

11:08 Um and uh it it I I think people all around the world need to stand up for the Persian people. They have been living under this oppressive regime for a long time with so much courage and like Goldie just said, nobody has really stood up for them. Um and you know, we you can never give freedom to people. They have to earn it. But they are earning it and they want it desperately. Um and this is the turning point. If if Iran falls, this is the turning point um against Islamic extremi extremism. They no longer have this huge pile of money and this giant proxy that is there. And you will see things begin to turn because of this. I think it's why the left this weekend started coming out against Hamas and saying it's a terrorist organization. They haven't been on that bandwagon for a while. And it's because the Persian and Iranian people are standing up and saying we're not saying we're against this regime.

12:09 We're against Sharia law. We are against this oppressive idea that Islam is a government. It can be a religion, not a government. uh and it's oppressive and they are proving everything that the left has been cozing up to is poison and it is so important. I don't I don't want to do it through force. I don't really want us to get involved. I want the people to be able to do it and anything that we can do to strengthen them with our voices and our support online all of us should be doing. Anything that we can do with speaking out for uh the Iranian and the Persian people and standing up for them uh to be able to be free, we should do. And Goldie, I would love to when it falls, I would love to be one of the first people that can walk on a free the streets of a free Iran and broadcast my show from there. I

13:10 You would be more than welcome. We would love to have you. Oh my gosh. you know, as as soon as Iran is free, we're looking forward to welcoming Americans back to Iran. Like, we cannot wait. We cannot wait.

13:23 Um, and I just wanted to point out something really, really poetic. Um, 47 years ago, Jimmy Carter and the Democrats um helped to turn Iran into an Islamic dictatorship. And now 47 years later, the 47th president of the United States is going to free Iran and and you know fix the mistake that Jimmy Carter and the Democrats made 47 years ago. That's that's so incredibly poetic. And I just want to say God bless President Trump. God bless America.

13:52 Thank you so much, Goldie. I appreciate it. God bless you. Um if you would um like to get more information and follow, please just um just just follow her. You can find her at X at G G H A M R M A R I. It's Gamari. Um, and follow her on Twitter. You can also find her um on YouTube as well. But she gives a good analysis of what is happening. And every day uh every day that goes by, it's either going to get stronger or weaker. And it's going to happen quickly when it does. And now is the time to pray for the Iranian and Persian people.
