Transcript
- 0:03Nicky Billou: As long as the United States and Israel continue to put pressure on them, it's a good thing.
- 0:07Nicky Billou: The blockade is costing the Islamic Republic $500 million a day.
- 0:12Nicky Billou: It took the United States almost four years to defeat Nazi Germany.
- 0:15Nicky Billou: It took them almost two years to defeat the Kaiser and his army.
- 0:18Nicky Billou: So we ought to be a little bit more patient with what President Trump is doing.
- 0:26Wayne Allyn Root: All right, Nicky Billou is with us, a resident of Ontario, Canada, host of a top 10 iTunes podcast, an entrepreneur, and my co-author of The Great Patriot Protest and Boycott book and The Great Patriot Boycott book, both of them bestsellers with Nikki's help.
- 0:41Wayne Allyn Root: Thank you, Nikki.
- 0:41Wayne Allyn Root: Hey, welcome.
- 0:42Wayne Allyn Root: How are you?
- 0:43Nicky Billou: Well, I'm so grateful, brother.
- 0:45Nicky Billou: Good to be here with you today.
- 0:47Wayne Allyn Root: So you are of Iranian descent.
- 0:49Wayne Allyn Root: We've had you on many times to talk about your background and what's going on in Iran.
- 0:54Wayne Allyn Root: You have family living in Iran right now.
- 0:55Wayne Allyn Root: How is your family right now?
- 0:57Wayne Allyn Root: What do they say is happening?
- 0:58Wayne Allyn Root: Can you communicate with them?
- 1:01Nicky Billou: It's difficult to communicate with them on a regular basis.
- 1:04Nicky Billou: The Islamic Republic has shut off all outside internet contact with the Iranian people.
- 1:12Nicky Billou: We are trying to get a hold of folks right now.
- 1:15Nicky Billou: But I got to tell you, it's difficult.
- 1:16Nicky Billou: What I can tell you is the people that I have spoken to that are in Iran want the Islamic regime gone.
- 1:22Nicky Billou: So they're on America's side.
- 1:24Nicky Billou: They're on Israel's side.
- 1:25Nicky Billou: They see this as a war of Iran, the nation of Iran, allied with the United States and with Israel against the Islamic Republic.
- 1:35Nicky Billou: That's how they see it.
- 1:36Wayne Allyn Root: Well, you know that I've been on this show cheerleading all this time for us to free the Iranian people.
- 1:42Wayne Allyn Root: The problem is that even I was a little disappointed how this whole thing is turning out.
- 1:47Wayne Allyn Root: Because even though I think Trump has done a great job, I don't think anyone thought it would go this long.
- 1:52Wayne Allyn Root: We thought in a week they'd give up.
- 1:53Wayne Allyn Root: In two weeks they'd give up.
- 1:54Wayne Allyn Root: Nobody thought they'd hang in there this long because they're so crazy and they're so fanatical that they don't even care about dying.
- 2:01Wayne Allyn Root: Dying means nothing to these people.
- 2:03Wayne Allyn Root: So the leadership of Iran just says, who cares?
- 2:05Wayne Allyn Root: I'll just have 72 virgins in heaven.
- 2:07Wayne Allyn Root: And so kill me.
- 2:09Wayne Allyn Root: And how do you deal with people like that?
- 2:10Wayne Allyn Root: How do you negotiate with people like Nikki?
- 2:12Wayne Allyn Root: If the only way to win this war, the final crescendo is that you've got to bomb all the power plants and bomb all the water treatment plants.
- 2:20Wayne Allyn Root: You're going to be punishing the Iranian people that are your family.
- 2:23Wayne Allyn Root: And they're going to have no water and no power.
- 2:25Wayne Allyn Root: And the country is going to be destroyed for years to come, as Trump puts it, end of civilization.
- 2:30Wayne Allyn Root: You know, none of us want to do that.
- 2:32Wayne Allyn Root: Trump gave that warning because he doesn't want to do it.
- 2:34Wayne Allyn Root: But if that's the only way to end this thing, we're going to have to punish the American, the Iranian people for something they didn't do.
- 2:40Wayne Allyn Root: They're good people.
- 2:41Wayne Allyn Root: So this whole thing is driving me crazy because I don't know how you get out of this without doing something terrible to the Iranian people who don't deserve it.
- 2:49Nicky Billou: Well, look, I think there is a way to end this war.
- 2:53Nicky Billou: So the people at the top of leadership are really great at telling the people that are in several levels below that they should martyr themselves and they should die for the cause.
- 3:03Nicky Billou: But they don't want to die themselves.
- 3:04Nicky Billou: They're trying like hell to hang around and stay alive.
- 3:07Nicky Billou: So as long as the United States and Israel continue to put pressure on them and kill a few of the top level people, it's a good thing.
- 3:14Nicky Billou: Three of the key senior leaders of the Islamic Republic regime are still around.
- 3:19Nicky Billou: Barley Balf, who's the Speaker of the Parliament, Pezish Gion, who was the President of the
- 3:24Nicky Billou: Islamic Republic, and Mojtaba Khomeini, who is Ali Khomeini's son.
- 3:29Nicky Billou: Those people want to stay alive.
- 3:31Nicky Billou: If you take them out, they're not going to like it.
- 3:33Nicky Billou: If they think they're going to die, they're not going to like it.
- 3:35Nicky Billou: That kind of pressure works.
- 3:36Nicky Billou: The other pressure that is working is the blockade.
- 3:39Nicky Billou: The blockade is costing the Islamic Republic $500 million a day.
- 3:44Nicky Billou: More and more people are starting to defect from the Islamic Republic as a result of this.
- 3:49Nicky Billou: This kind of pressure, you know, is something that works.
- 3:52Nicky Billou: Now, I agree with you.
- 3:53Nicky Billou: I thought this would be over a lot sooner than this.
- 3:56Nicky Billou: I was hoping it would be over a lot sooner than this.
- 3:58Nicky Billou: But President Trump has made a wonderful point.
- 4:01Nicky Billou: It's still been less than two months since Epic Fury started.
- 4:05Nicky Billou: It took the United States almost four years to defeat Nazi Germany.
- 4:09Nicky Billou: It took him almost two years to defeat the Kaiser and his army.
- 4:11Nicky Billou: So we ought to be a little bit more patient with what President Trump is doing.
- 4:16Nicky Billou: I believe that God is on our side.
- 4:18Nicky Billou: God wants these people gone.
- 4:20Nicky Billou: And as long as we keep putting pressure on them,
- 4:22Nicky Billou: and as long as we're prepared on the side of the United States to go and bomb the leaders,
- 4:29Nicky Billou: I think it's still going to end up in a good place.
- 4:31Nicky Billou: Exactly how it's going to turn out at this stage, I'm not 100% sure.
- 4:35Nicky Billou: Nobody knows.
- 4:36Nicky Billou: Nobody knows.
- 4:37Nicky Billou: No one knows.
- 4:37Nicky Billou: I do know this.
- 4:39Nicky Billou: God is good.
- 4:40Nicky Billou: God is a just God.
- 4:42Nicky Billou: These people are the devil's spawn, and they're the devil's handmaidens here on earth.
- 4:47Nicky Billou: God wants them gone.
- 4:48Nicky Billou: and he's chosen an angel.
- 4:49Nicky Billou: Not angel is Donald J. Trump
- 4:51Nicky Billou: and he's doing the job.
- 4:52Wayne Allyn Root: Look, even if you can't speak
- 4:53Wayne Allyn Root: to your relatives very often or at all,
- 4:56Wayne Allyn Root: you must be hearing through the pipeline
- 4:57Wayne Allyn Root: of the Iranian community
- 4:58Wayne Allyn Root: that you're a part of in Canada
- 5:00Wayne Allyn Root: and in the United States
- 5:02Wayne Allyn Root: some things that are going on there.
- 5:03Wayne Allyn Root: My understanding is
- 5:05Wayne Allyn Root: even while we're still in this impasse
- 5:07Wayne Allyn Root: between the United States, Israel and Iran,
- 5:09Wayne Allyn Root: even while we're still at war,
- 5:11Wayne Allyn Root: even while we're blockading them
- 5:14Wayne Allyn Root: and they are blockading us,
- 5:15Wayne Allyn Root: everyone's blockading the Strait of Hormuz.
- 5:17Wayne Allyn Root: Even while all that's going on, the Iranian leaders are murdering the Iranian people, more and more and more of them.
- 5:24Wayne Allyn Root: What are they going in the middle of the night, drag them away and then kill them in front of a firing squad?
- 5:29Wayne Allyn Root: I mean, this is insanity.
- 5:30Wayne Allyn Root: They're killing their own people who've done nothing wrong.
- 5:34Nicky Billou: All this is true, which is all the more reason that this should be a fight to the finish.
- 5:39Nicky Billou: You know, you can't negotiate with the evil.
- 5:43Nicky Billou: Nobody negotiated with Joseph Goebbels back during World War II.
- 5:46Nicky Billou: Nobody negotiated with Heinrich Himmler.
- 5:49Nicky Billou: You know, the Allies said we want unconditional surrender.
- 5:52Nicky Billou: Franklin D. Roosevelt said he wanted unconditional surrender.
- 5:54Nicky Billou: And I think that's what it's going to take to defeat these SOBs, unfortunately.
- 5:58Wayne Allyn Root: Don't forget how crazy Tucker Carlson's become.
- 6:00Wayne Allyn Root: He's like a nut job.
- 6:02Wayne Allyn Root: And Tucker said unconditional surrender means that the American troops will rape all the Iranian women.
- 6:08Wayne Allyn Root: This man is insane.
- 6:10Wayne Allyn Root: He's just lost his mind.
- 6:12Nicky Billou: Yes.
- 6:13Nicky Billou: He has lost his mind or he's a paid agent, man.
- 6:16Nicky Billou: And he's a paid agent of Islamist forces.
- 6:19Nicky Billou: I think that's probably what's happened is he's become a paid agent of Islamist forces because he's not really a stupid person.
- 6:26Nicky Billou: And he's just become such a, excuse my language, but a click whore that he'll do anything in order to get clicks.
- 6:32Nicky Billou: He'll do anything in order to maintain his relevance out there in the marketplace.
- 6:37Nicky Billou: And sadly, so will someone like Candace Owens.
- 6:40Nicky Billou: You know, it's really, really sad.
- 6:42Nicky Billou: But they're losing relevance and influence.
- 6:44Nicky Billou: And within MAGA, people see them for what they are.
- 6:47Wayne Allyn Root: Yeah, I mean, don't forget, it's not just Candace Owens and Tucker.
- 6:50Wayne Allyn Root: It's Megyn Kelly.
- 6:52Wayne Allyn Root: It's Marjorie Taylor Greene is now one of them.
- 6:55Wayne Allyn Root: There's a lot of them.
- 6:56Wayne Allyn Root: They're all, they hate Jews.
- 6:58Wayne Allyn Root: They hate Israel.
- 6:59Wayne Allyn Root: They're trying to divide MAGA.
- 7:00Wayne Allyn Root: They're trying to divide America.
- 7:02Wayne Allyn Root: They're trying to divide Christians and Jews.
- 7:04Wayne Allyn Root: And they're trying to get us to say, oh, Iran was a mistake.
- 7:09Wayne Allyn Root: What do you mean a mistake?
- 7:09Wayne Allyn Root: You're with the liberal side now.
- 7:11Wayne Allyn Root: You want us to lose in Iran?
- 7:13Wayne Allyn Root: Listen, whether you like it or not, once we're there, we got to win.
- 7:16Wayne Allyn Root: There's no other choice.
- 7:17Wayne Allyn Root: We have to see it through and win.
- 7:19Wayne Allyn Root: There's really no choice now.
- 7:20Wayne Allyn Root: You can't turn your tail and just run.
- 7:22Wayne Allyn Root: So you're of Iranian descent, but you're an Iranian Christian, correct?
- 7:28Wayne Allyn Root: That's right.
- 7:29Wayne Allyn Root: And Christianity is growing in Iran.
- 7:32Wayne Allyn Root: How is that even possible under this kind of authoritarian regime?
- 7:37Nicky Billou: Wayne, the Islamic Republic has been the single greatest proselytizer and evangelist for Christianity.
- 7:45Nicky Billou: Because what they've done is they've absolutely gone out there and turned people off of Islam
- 7:52Nicky Billou: because their brand of Islam is just not working for the Iranian people,
- 7:56Nicky Billou: and they're looking for alternatives, and Christianity is one of them.
- 7:59Nicky Billou: And more and more people are stepping up to become Christians in Iran.
- 8:02Nicky Billou: Iran is a nation on planet Earth where Christianity is growing the fastest.
- 8:07Wayne Allyn Root: All right.
- 8:08Wayne Allyn Root: Look, we will see how this thing develops.
- 8:11Wayne Allyn Root: We want to win this thing.
- 8:12Wayne Allyn Root: We want to free the Iranian people.
- 8:15Wayne Allyn Root: We also want to end this war as soon as possible under any circumstances
- 8:20Wayne Allyn Root: because the American people are not big fans of it.
- 8:22Wayne Allyn Root: So Trump knows he's got to get out.
- 8:24Wayne Allyn Root: You've got to accomplish all this at the same time.
- 8:26Wayne Allyn Root: You've got to make the Iranians stand down with their blockade.
- 8:29Wayne Allyn Root: A lot of things going on at once, a lot of moving parts.
- 8:32Wayne Allyn Root: But we'll keep you apprised.
- 8:34Wayne Allyn Root: You keep us apprised.
- 8:35Wayne Allyn Root: Thanks for everything you do, Nicky.
- 8:36Wayne Allyn Root: Appreciate you.
- 8:37Wayne Allyn Root: All right, Nicky Ballou, author of two of my books,
