• 1:40
  Nicky Billou: Welcome to the show, Virag.
• 1:41
  Virag Guylas: I love the energy.
• 1:42
  Virag Guylas: I love the intro.
• 1:43
  Virag Guylas: Thank you very much.
• 1:44
  Virag Guylas: And you pronounced my name perfectly.
• 1:45
  Virag Guylas: So I give you that.
• 1:47
  Nicky Billou: Thank you.
• 1:48
  Nicky Billou: God bless you.
• 1:48
  Virag Guylas: Thank you, really.
• 1:49
  Virag Guylas: Thanks for having me.
• 1:50
  Nicky Billou: Thanks for coming on the show.
• 1:52
  Nicky Billou: So would you mind starting by just telling us your backstory?
• 1:55
  Virag Guylas: Yeah.
• 1:55
  Virag Guylas: So I'm Hungarian.
• 1:57
  Virag Guylas: So my name is a real Hungarian name.
• 1:59
  Virag Guylas: Gujas as the soup in Hungary.
• 2:03
  Virag Guylas: So I am based in New York City right now.
• 2:04
  Virag Guylas: So I immigrated to the U.S.
• 2:07
  Virag Guylas: Now it's 10 years.
• 2:08
  Virag Guylas: It's been 10 years.
• 2:10
  Virag Guylas: I'm one of those legal ones, you know.
• 2:12
  Virag Guylas: So that is a big topic nowadays in the U.S. as well.
• 2:15
  Virag Guylas: It is.
• 2:16
  Virag Guylas: Even though I'm a white girl, so obviously I was just handed the papers
• 2:20
  Virag Guylas: and I never had to work for them as per, you know,
• 2:23
  Virag Guylas: some commentaries that I'm receiving.
• 2:25
  Virag Guylas: So that's one part of my story because it's something I'm heavily talking about and I feel it's very important to my values at the moment.
• 2:35
  Virag Guylas: You know, I went through nine years of constant legal battles, how to stay in the country legally and then seeing what's happening with the illegal questions.
• 2:45
  Virag Guylas: And then soon I need to apologize for being legal in the country.
• 2:49
  Virag Guylas: That's like a very morbid situation.
• 2:51
  Virag Guylas: But about my background, it's a pretty non-linear background I have.
• 2:56
  Virag Guylas: I started my first career as a classical ballet dancer.
• 3:00
  Virag Guylas: So I have an education in the arts.
• 3:03
  Virag Guylas: I danced in various opera houses in Europe.
• 3:06
  Virag Guylas: And when I stopped dancing, I went to do another university degree and then a couple more because, you know, who doesn't like collecting papers and some kind of knowledge as a side.
• 3:18
  Virag Guylas: So I have an education in international relations.
• 3:21
  Virag Guylas: EU law and Middle Eastern and Jewish studies. I myself, I'm not Jewish, but apparently I like
• 3:28
  Virag Guylas: questioning my own beliefs and going against stereotypes that we grew up with. So my journey
• 3:35
  Virag Guylas: with the Jewish community has started a decade ago when I was starting to write more about,
• 3:41
  Virag Guylas: you know, how we really are the product of our own environment, meaning it really depends on
• 3:47
  Virag Guylas: where you grew up and in which time and which era. And based on that, you're going to have
• 3:52
  Virag Guylas: the view on the world. I was born in '85, no secret. So I think it's worth mentioning because
• 3:58
  Virag Guylas: my country was still under the Russian oppression. So for us, talking about Jews,
• 4:04
  Virag Guylas: anti-Semitism, the Russians definitely instilled a very heavy level of anti-Semitism into our people.
• 4:11
  Virag Guylas: And then there is like a heavy history, not only with the Holocaust, but what happened after with
• 4:16
  Virag Guylas: with the communist regime.
• 4:17
  Virag Guylas: So it's nuances, but we need to talk about the nuances,
• 4:20
  Virag Guylas: and I'm trying to do that.
• 4:23
  Virag Guylas: So I lived in Brussels, in Belgium, a little bit in England,
• 4:26
  Virag Guylas: and then I moved to the U.S.
• 4:28
  Virag Guylas: And I've been working as a consultant in communications
• 4:32
  Virag Guylas: and digital media.
• 4:34
  Virag Guylas: And then also I am an active journalist and reporter right now,
• 4:39
  Virag Guylas: heavily focusing on the upcoming Hungarian elections.
• 4:42
  Nicky Billou: So you have quite the background.
• 4:45
  Nicky Billou: I have an international relations background too. I studied international relations in university. And then I actually went and got a master's degree at Georgetown in Washington, D.C. in what they call foreign service, which is a fancy way of saying international relations.
• 5:03
  Nicky Billou: And at the time that I began my journey at Georgetown, so in 85 was the year that I went
• 5:11
  Nicky Billou: into university.
• 5:11
  Nicky Billou: I graduated in 89 from undergraduate and I went to Georgetown from 89 to 91.
• 5:17
  Nicky Billou: So that was when all the great cold war kind of conflicts and drama came to a head.
• 5:27
  Nicky Billou: All the Eastern European nations just started to one by one to fall like dominoes.
• 5:34
  Nicky Billou: And the people of Eastern Europe won their freedom.
• 5:39
  Nicky Billou: And it was an incredible moment when the Berlin Wall fell.
• 5:42
  Nicky Billou: I was like, this is this is a beautiful moment to be alive in a human being and to see other human beings becoming free.
• 5:47
  Nicky Billou: And it was incredible because at the time, the United States was governed by an administration that was very much in favor of human freedom, the administration of Ronald Reagan.
• 6:02
  Nicky Billou: He was elected in order to make America great again, if you could say it.
• 6:09
  Virag Guylas: Number one, yeah.
• 6:10
  Nicky Billou: You know, and he wanted, he was going to revive the economy, which he did.
• 6:15
  Nicky Billou: And he was going to defeat the Soviet Union in the Cold War.
• 6:19
  Nicky Billou: And all the muckety mucks in the American establishment were like, oh no, you can never defeat the Soviet Union.
• 6:26
  Nicky Billou: The Cold War is going to happen beyond and on forever.
• 6:28
  Nicky Billou: And he said, nope, here's the new deal.
• 6:31
  Nicky Billou: We win, they lose.
• 6:32
  Nicky Billou: That's how this is going to go.
• 6:34
  Nicky Billou: And does this sound familiar?
• 6:36
  Nicky Billou: Like maybe another current American president's a little bit like that.
• 6:40
  Virag Guylas: Yeah, let's hope. Let's hope that it's going to be just as well successful.
• 6:45
  Nicky Billou: So all that happened. And as an Iranian, I've been wanting my country to be free ever since we were forced to leave. You know, I live in Canada and on one level I'm a Canadian and it's wonderful and all that. But in my heart, I'm from Iran. I'm an Iranian.
• 7:01
  Nicky Billou: All the beautiful things about me come from that incredible birthright as an Iranian. My character, my level of hospitality, my love for people, my passion, my unwillingness to back down, you know, all of that comes from being an Iranian.
• 7:21
  Nicky Billou: And it's an incredible thing what's been going on in Iran right now.
• 7:25
  Nicky Billou: And it's an incredible thing that happened this weekend.
• 7:28
  Nicky Billou: And I'm just wondering, Viran, how is it that you as a Hungarian became so vested in freedom for the Iranian people?
• 7:38
  Virag Guylas: So I've been following the situation in the Middle East for the last 12 years.
• 7:42
  Virag Guylas: So if I would say, you know, I have a good knowledge and skill sets and some sort of expertise on the topic, then it would be the Middle East.
• 7:52
  Virag Guylas: You know, it started with Israel, but then whatever happens in Israel and whatever happens to Israel, it happens to the whole region and it's a ripple effect.
• 8:01
  Virag Guylas: So obviously, you know, since December, I've been following closely the situation in Iran, even more closely than before because of the shocking news and the shocking little amount of pictures and videos that we were seeing, you know, coming out of Iran.
• 8:19
  Virag Guylas: And then I, as I always do when I see something like this, you know, we can have our own perspectives, but I always like to hear what the actual people hear and feel.
• 8:31
  Virag Guylas: And so I looked up some Iranian people, not influencers.
• 8:34
  Virag Guylas: I really purposefully avoided influencers and big names because eventually it's inevitable that they would be having an agenda as opposed to people who don't really have names out in the virtual world.
• 8:51
  Virag Guylas: So I looked up a couple of people.
• 8:53
  Virag Guylas: Actually, I just put it on my Instagram, you know, who knows any Iranian who would be ready to be interviewed.
• 8:58
  Virag Guylas: And I got like 20 people ready to talk.
• 9:03
  Virag Guylas: Some of them were OK to show their faces and names.
• 9:05
  Virag Guylas: Some just, you know, ask for anonymity.
• 9:08
  Virag Guylas: And then I started to spend some time with them.
• 9:11
  Virag Guylas: I asked them the hard questions that I wanted answered for.
• 9:14
  Virag Guylas: And, you know, what the media tells us is one thing.
• 9:18
  Virag Guylas: And then there are the diaspora, Iranians, Persians.
• 9:21
  Virag Guylas: And then there are people who are in Iran, which is the harder code to crack because it had a limited access to them.
• 9:28
  Virag Guylas: But eventually, out of the 20, 20 told me that what the IRGC is doing is beyond comprehension at the moment.
• 9:38
  Virag Guylas: They all said they need external help.
• 9:42
  Virag Guylas: So that was one of the returning questions.
• 9:44
  Virag Guylas: You know, as a Western European, we always heard that American intervention is poison, is not good.
• 9:51
  Virag Guylas: Exporting democracy is dangerous.
• 9:53
  Virag Guylas: See how it went, you know, during the Bush or Obama administration.
• 9:57
  Virag Guylas: And before I formulate my own opinion, I wanted to also dig deeper.
• 10:01
  Virag Guylas: So this is how it really started.
• 10:03
  Virag Guylas: And the more I understood, the more troubling it got.
• 10:08
  Virag Guylas: And obviously I was aware of, you know, like the Shia-Sunni situation in the region or the whole Iranian goal and mission when it comes to Israel and eliminate the Jewish state.
• 10:22
  Virag Guylas: the fact that it's not an Israeli problem, quote unquote, but it's also a Western problem
• 10:28
  Virag Guylas: because the regime is against everything we stand for as Europeans.
• 10:33
  Virag Guylas: And actually, if I'm truly transparent and honest, already two years ago when you had
• 10:39
  Virag Guylas: the last uprising, you know, when the women started to get...
• 10:44
  Nicky Billou: Massa Amini, yes, when she was murdered.
• 10:46
  Virag Guylas: Exactly.
• 10:47
  Nicky Billou: Her hair showing under the hijab.
• 10:49
  Virag Guylas: I mean, I was in L.A. and the Iranians had this huge rally and I just spent my whole day with them and I was marching for them.
• 10:59
  Virag Guylas: And, you know, it was just chilling.
• 11:01
  Virag Guylas: These were 20 something years old girls and they were dying for their freedom that we take so much for granted.
• 11:08
  Virag Guylas: So, you know how it goes after then.
• 11:10
  Virag Guylas: It just you dig deeper and deeper and then you start sharing your own experiences, your thoughts and hopes and wishes.
• 11:16
  Virag Guylas: And then you have the other side who are still questioning whether this is actually freeing the Iranians.
• 11:22
  Virag Guylas: Or like just the other day, you know, I got a tsunami of comments basically saying that the people in Iran are actually mourning the Ayatollah.
• 11:31
  Virag Guylas: So this is disgusting.
• 11:33
  Virag Guylas: And I'm like, just think for a second, who are those who are mourning the Ayatollah?
• 11:38
  Virag Guylas: Maybe those ones who are supporting his ideology and the whole vision.
• 11:42
  Virag Guylas: And that vision means eventually it starts with Israel, then with the U.S., and then it comes to you, to Western Europe.
• 11:49
  Virag Guylas: And, you know, you are there facing a regime that doesn't really want your values or doesn't even accept your values.
• 11:55
  Virag Guylas: So here we are.
• 11:57
  Virag Guylas: And so I'm following very closely the situation, to the best of my knowledge.
• 12:02
  Nicky Billou: That's quite a story.
• 12:04
  Nicky Billou: So, see, you're actually a journalist.
• 12:07
  Nicky Billou: You actually have taken the time to ask questions and dig deep.
• 12:12
  Nicky Billou: You didn't come with a preconceived notion and look for facts that just fit your preconceived notion or made up facts that fit your preconceived notion.
• 12:21
  Nicky Billou: You did what journalists are supposed to do, which is you ask questions.
• 12:25
  Nicky Billou: You got curious.
• 12:27
  Nicky Billou: And the more you saw, the more clear the picture became to you when you spoke the truth.
• 12:32
  Nicky Billou: That's beautiful.
• 12:33
  Virag Guylas: I mean, the version of the truth that I believe in, because, you know, indeed, I am a journalist.
• 12:37
  Virag Guylas: I like to say that I do have the integrity that requires me to be a journalist, but I'm also not a news reporter.
• 12:44
  Virag Guylas: I'm not a news journalist.
• 12:46
  Virag Guylas: So I can have my own opinion when I write an op-ed.
• 12:50
  Virag Guylas: So eventually, you know, I have my coloring of the situation right now that I fully and truly believe based on the knowledge that I gathered.
• 12:58
  Virag Guylas: So, you know, when I write about this, I have more of an alignment with those persons who are cheering.
• 13:04
  Virag Guylas: I can't accept the mourning of an ayatollah that would kill me if I would show my shoulder, you know.
• 13:12
  Nicky Billou: Oh, my God, that's crazy.
• 13:14
  Virag Guylas: Yeah, the reason it's important to mention, because nowadays when people say, oh, how are you a journalist if you're just sharing the Zionist propaganda on this topic?
• 13:26
  Virag Guylas: Or, you know, like licking the Trump administration's ass.
• 13:30
  Virag Guylas: And journalism doesn't really mean that you don't have an opinion.
• 13:34
  Virag Guylas: It's the type of journalism you are doing, you know, so I still need to be factual and I'm doing that to the best of my knowledge.
• 13:40
  Virag Guylas: But I am an opinion formulating journalist.
• 13:43
  Virag Guylas: So that is what I'm trying to do out there.
• 13:45
  Nicky Billou: Yeah, you're an opinion journalist, for sure.
• 13:47
  Virag Guylas: But nonetheless, you're fact-based.
• 13:49
  Nicky Billou: You're not making shit up, as they say, right?
• 13:53
  Virag Guylas: Yes, and I'm really trying to avoid sensationalism, which is a hard task nowadays, to be frank, especially when someone is sharing information on Instagram.
• 14:02
  Virag Guylas: What goes viral?
• 14:03
  Virag Guylas: You know, mainly what's sensational.
• 14:06
  Virag Guylas: But sensationalism is not always rooted in actual facts.
• 14:10
  Virag Guylas: So, you know, so many people were sharing about the school, the kids, you know.
• 14:14
  Virag Guylas: It was a lie.
• 14:16
  Nicky Billou: It was a lie.
• 14:16
  Nicky Billou: I told this guy it was a lie and he started cursing me.
• 14:20
  Virag Guylas: That's very usual, you know.
• 14:22
  Virag Guylas: And they were pushing me to, why don't you talk about the school?
• 14:25
  Virag Guylas: And for three days, I didn't say a word because I wanted to understand as far as we can, you know, what happened there.
• 14:32
  Virag Guylas: And I could have posted about that, but I don't want, as long as I'm not aware of the details.
• 14:38
  Nicky Billou: It's a beautiful thing.
• 14:40
  Nicky Billou: It's hard.
• 14:41
  Nicky Billou: Yeah.
• 14:41
  Nicky Billou: It's a beautiful thing what you're doing.
• 14:43
  Nicky Billou: I love what you're doing.
• 14:44
  Nicky Billou: You're a beautiful soul, and there's a lot of love in your heart for the work that you do and for human beings and humanity.
• 14:50
  Nicky Billou: And as an Iranian, I appreciate that.
• 14:52
  Nicky Billou: That's what we need more of in the world today.
• 14:55
  Nicky Billou: And fewer of these crazy people that claim to be good human beings, but really are the most awful sorts.
• 15:01
  Nicky Billou: Absolutely awful.
• 15:02
  Virag Guylas: People who are now on the streets in Times Square and protesting for the regime, those people?
• 15:07
  Nicky Billou: Those non-Iranian crazies? Yeah, those people. Yeah, they're like nuts. They're absolutely crazy.
• 15:15
  Virag Guylas: There is this really twisted thing going on, but obviously now it's close to you as a Persian,
• 15:23
  Virag Guylas: but it was the same a couple of months before. People screaming communism is all over the US.
• 15:29
  Virag Guylas: I mean, you have zero idea what communism is if you think that communism is what the US represents now and Trump represents.
• 15:37
  Virag Guylas: I mean, that's just an insane thing to say.
• 15:39
  Virag Guylas: So, you know, so many Americans, especially on the left liberal side, they say they are oppressed, they are censored.
• 15:47
  Virag Guylas: These are all made up issues at the moment in the United States.
• 15:51
  Virag Guylas: And it's just really heartbreaking sometimes how you are conflicting and confusing definitions and jargons just to say something big.
• 16:01
  Nicky Billou: Are you familiar with a radical thought leader?
• 16:07
  Nicky Billou: He's dead now by the name of Saul Alinsky.
• 16:09
  Nicky Billou: Do you know that name?
• 16:11
  Virag Guylas: No.
• 16:11
  Virag Guylas: Should I have?
• 16:12
  Virag Guylas: Should I?
• 16:13
  Nicky Billou: You should look into Saul Alinsky.
• 16:15
  Nicky Billou: S-A-U-L-A-L-I-N-S-K-Y.
• 16:19
  Nicky Billou: He wrote a book called Rules for Radical.
• 16:21
  Nicky Billou: and he was a mentor of Hillary Clinton's back in the day. He died in the Senate. And many of these
• 16:29
  Nicky Billou: current modern leftist politicians were acolytes of his or studied his work. And one of his rules
• 16:36
  Nicky Billou: for radicals is that as a radical, like a leftist piece of crap leftist, what you have to do is
• 16:43
  Nicky Billou: accuse people of doing the very thing you're doing. So if you're lying, if you're oppressing,
• 16:49
  Nicky Billou: accuse other people of doing that because that offense takes the attention off you.
• 16:54
  Nicky Billou: And Alinsky was a horrible, horrible human being.
• 16:58
  Nicky Billou: He was a spawn of the devil.
• 17:00
  Nicky Billou: And I believe he's burning in hell for what he's done.
• 17:02
  Nicky Billou: But it's very instructive to learn from him and to read what he has to say
• 17:07
  Nicky Billou: and to watch some of the old interviews he does.
• 17:09
  Nicky Billou: Because the playbook that these people are using is the Saul Alinsky playbook.
• 17:14
  Virag Guylas: And I'm just smiling because this is a big topic now in Hungary with our upcoming election,
• 17:19
  Virag Guylas: where our current leadership, Viktor Orban, is more aligned, you know, with Trump on the conservative side.
• 17:25
  Virag Guylas: And the opposition is, I would say, gender fluid.
• 17:29
  Virag Guylas: One day is lefty, one day is right.
• 17:31
  Virag Guylas: He undecided. He's just going with the flow.
• 17:34
  Virag Guylas: But the main goal is to, you know, change the regime, as he calls it.
• 17:39
  Virag Guylas: But it is a big topic in Hungary how he is using the playbook of the communist regimes.
• 17:44
  Virag Guylas: And that is exactly what you just said regarding this.
• 17:47
  Nicky Billou: That's right.
• 17:53
  Nicky Billou: so you understand what's going on in iran and i gotta say that post you asked me to collaborate
• 17:59
  Nicky Billou: on has gone pretty viral there's close to 200 000 views on it it is not at all sensational
• 18:05
  Nicky Billou: it's long form you speak in a very measured tone of voice so you don't need to be sensationalist
• 18:12
  Nicky Billou: to have something go viral, you just need to speak truth. Because if you speak truth,
• 18:17
  Nicky Billou: and the topic is something that touches people's hearts, it can still go quite viral.
• 18:22
  Virag Guylas: Right. You are right. It's just definitely harder. It's an internal battle, I think,
• 18:27
  Virag Guylas: for many people who maybe operate similarly to me, that you want to keep integrity. You also want
• 18:33
  Virag Guylas: the message out. So I needed to accept that, okay, my profile might not grow like crazy,
• 18:40
  Virag Guylas: and it's not a complaint.
• 18:42
  Virag Guylas: I'm so happy, you know,
• 18:43
  Virag Guylas: that I have a really great follower base
• 18:46
  Virag Guylas: both in English and in Hungarian.
• 18:47
  Virag Guylas: But I just see, you know,
• 18:49
  Virag Guylas: that I know the tricks,
• 18:51
  Virag Guylas: how to go viral.
• 18:52
  Virag Guylas: And I would build up, you know,
• 18:54
  Virag Guylas: a half a million follower base
• 18:55
  Virag Guylas: within a month
• 18:57
  Virag Guylas: if I would be a faceless account.
• 18:59
  Virag Guylas: Because it's easier.
• 19:01
  Virag Guylas: You don't need to take accountability
• 19:04
  Virag Guylas: for anything you say.
• 19:05
  Virag Guylas: If it's a faceless account,
• 19:06
  Virag Guylas: you can just share those very viral videos
• 19:08
  Virag Guylas: of, you know,
• 19:09
  Virag Guylas: this is shooting that, that is shooting that,
• 19:11
  Virag Guylas: this is dancing that.
• 19:12
  Virag Guylas: But when you have your face and name
• 19:14
  Virag Guylas: behind what you are putting out,
• 19:16
  Virag Guylas: you need to double check and fact check
• 19:18
  Virag Guylas: because if you say something,
• 19:19
  Virag Guylas: it goes back to you
• 19:20
  Virag Guylas: and your credibility can be diminished.
• 19:22
  Virag Guylas: And even like this, it's hard
• 19:24
  Virag Guylas: with all the AI and, you know,
• 19:26
  Virag Guylas: the deep fakes and things.
• 19:27
  Virag Guylas: It's like you need to double check everything 10 times
• 19:29
  Virag Guylas: and even then you can make mistakes.
• 19:31
  Virag Guylas: But that slows down the process.
• 19:34
  Virag Guylas: And I'm very cautious about that
• 19:38
  Virag Guylas: because after all, it's my face and my name,
• 19:40
  Virag Guylas: and I still want to have a future in this.
• 19:43
  Nicky Billou: No, I love it.
• 19:44
  Nicky Billou: So what's your take on His Highness Reza Pahlavi?
• 19:50
  Virag Guylas: As far as I understood from the diaspora,
• 19:53
  Virag Guylas: they really would like him to go back.
• 19:56
  Virag Guylas: And as far as I heard, his views and interviews now recently,
• 20:01
  Virag Guylas: since the war broke out.
• 20:04
  Nicky Billou: Rescue operation. Let's call it a rescue operation.
• 20:06
  Virag Guylas: Let's call it that.
• 20:07
  Virag Guylas: I mean, it's a war now because Iran has been attacking nine sovereign countries, you know.
• 20:12
  Nicky Billou: The Islamic Republic has.
• 20:14
  Nicky Billou: The Islamic Republic.
• 20:15
  Nicky Billou: I don't think that's Iran.
• 20:16
  Virag Guylas: I would just call the Iranian regime.
• 20:20
  Nicky Billou: The renegade Islamic Republic is doing that.
• 20:23
  Nicky Billou: That's true.
• 20:24
  Nicky Billou: So they're trying to make a war, but I don't think they really can.
• 20:27
  Nicky Billou: They don't have enough strength to really.
• 20:29
  Virag Guylas: I mean, China is pretty much backing them up, as we know.
• 20:32
  Virag Guylas: So, you know, there is like, I think, more power than we want to admit.
• 20:36
  Virag Guylas: And China needs Iran eventually in the long haul.
• 20:39
  Virag Guylas: So there are, I think, a lot of background games.
• 20:43
  Virag Guylas: But to back to your question, obviously, if we could change the regime, which would be the ultimate side effect.
• 20:51
  Virag Guylas: And I'm saying side effect because both Trump and Rubio said that their primary goal was, you know, to stop the nuclear weapon building in Iran.
• 21:01
  Virag Guylas: So they said if we can also achieve a change of the regime, that's a win.
• 21:05
  Virag Guylas: but it has to come from the Iranian people there.
• 21:08
  Virag Guylas: I don't know if it's possible without troops on the ground.
• 21:12
  Virag Guylas: So far, they said they don't want troops on the ground.
• 21:15
  Virag Guylas: Yesterday, the president said something different.
• 21:16
  Virag Guylas: So, you know, it's a fluid mission, so to say.
• 21:20
  Virag Guylas: But that first and primary goal was national security.
• 21:24
  Virag Guylas: And then came the humanitarian aspect.
• 21:27
  Virag Guylas: And then can come, you know, the conflict with China
• 21:30
  Virag Guylas: and then weakening Iran can help with that.
• 21:33
  Virag Guylas: So it's a lot of domino effects, I think, in that.
• 21:37
  Virag Guylas: You know, I do believe that a direction that was before the 79th revolution is definitely a better direction than what the Iranian people are facing now.
• 21:50
  Virag Guylas: I don't know as an Iranian how you would say that, but based on the answers I received, they cry back that time.
• 21:56
  Virag Guylas: Even though, as far as I know, that time was also not, you know, happy, pinky, joy, joy all the time.
• 22:02
  Nicky Billou: but it was kind of like a communist or an islamist it definitely wasn't but if you're a normal regular
• 22:08
  Nicky Billou: person it was a great time exactly so yeah that that's what i felt like it's like it was a balance
• 22:13
  Virag Guylas: between two ideologies but still leaning more towards a western culture and obviously we see
• 22:19
  Virag Guylas: the pictures and we see you know the little snippets how we met had way more rights than they do have
• 22:25
  Virag Guylas: So these are not nuances, you know.
• 22:30
  Virag Guylas: So I'm definitely supportive of that.
• 22:32
  Virag Guylas: And I'm always asking, like, where are the feminists in this picture right now?
• 22:35
  Virag Guylas: All those brave, loud feminists who think that feminism is equatable to not shaving your legs.
• 22:41
  Virag Guylas: Feminism is not that.
• 22:43
  Virag Guylas: Feminism is exactly what the Iranian women are fighting for right now.
• 22:47
  Virag Guylas: Again, here we go with the double standard.
• 22:50
  Nicky Billou: Yeah. Well, you know, yesterday I had a conversation with a client of mine. He's a very successful entrepreneur and he happens to be Jewish. He's worth millions and millions and millions of dollars. And we're doing something together, which I'm helping him with.
• 23:08
  Nicky Billou: And he shared something with me. He said that in his experience, God is always testing him,
• 23:17
  Nicky Billou: and he believes God is always testing all of us. And he said that there are certain moments where
• 23:24
  Nicky Billou: those tests, if you pass them, will have God go, yes, and then God will smooth the path for you,
• 23:31
  Nicky Billou: And you will just glide to success in a way that you can't even conceive or imagine because it seems like how's this happening so easily, so effortlessly.
• 23:43
  Nicky Billou: And then if you don't pass those tests, you could be doing everything right.
• 23:47
  Nicky Billou: And it's a grind and nothing's moving forward.
• 23:49
  Nicky Billou: Do you understand what I'm talking about over here with this?
• 23:52
  Nicky Billou: So when he said this to me yesterday, I reflected on it for myself personally, but also for Iran.
• 24:01
  Nicky Billou: Here's what I am going to assert with no evidence other than what I see happening.
• 24:08
  Nicky Billou: God has been testing the nation of Iran and the Iranian people.
• 24:13
  Nicky Billou: And in this moment, he gave us this test.
• 24:17
  Nicky Billou: And this test was, are you ready to be free and to be all that you can be?
• 24:23
  Nicky Billou: And the Iranian people stepped forward with nothing but their will and their bodies into the path of bullets.
• 24:33
  Nicky Billou: And they died by the thousands and the tens of thousands.
• 24:37
  Nicky Billou: And as a result, he's bringing one of his angels, as it were, in the form of Donald Trump, who's saying, hey, I'm bringing the hammer of God down on your enemies, which he's done.
• 24:51
  Nicky Billou: and he's giving whatever reasons he's giving, but let's be honest. This is biblical. He is attacking
• 24:58
  Nicky Billou: the forces of evil and he's just wiping them out. It's been three days. And I'm telling you, I think
• 25:04
  Nicky Billou: in 10 days, the Islamic Republic will fall. It will fall. They tried to get together today to
• 25:13
  Nicky Billou: elect a new Supreme leader and they killed all those people. Bye-bye. The military forces in
• 25:19
  Nicky Billou: the next few days are going to start surrendering and saying, we want to live, right? That's what
• 25:24
  Nicky Billou: they're going to do. And it's my belief that at that time, when the military combat operations
• 25:31
  Nicky Billou: start to recede, the Iranian people are going to spill into the streets because Reza Pahlavi has
• 25:37
  Nicky Billou: told him that that's what he wants them to do. If you remember January 8th and 9th, he said he
• 25:42
  Nicky Billou: wanted them to do that. And 35 million people each night spilled it. 35 million. Tell me,
• 25:49
  Nicky Billou: which world leader, which other world leader can move that mobile eyes of doing something like that.
• 25:55
  Nicky Billou: Dream of it. None. Not even Donald Trump. Love Donald Trump. But if he said jump in the streets,
• 26:00
  Nicky Billou: I don't know if 35 million people would do it, which is basically 40% of the country, right?
• 26:08
  Nicky Billou: And I think that God has said, this is your time and I'm going to glide you into regime change.
• 26:14
  Nicky Billou: And so all these people that go, but what about this? What about that? What about there's 500,000
• 26:17
  Nicky Billou: What about the RGC?
• 26:18
  Nicky Billou: Dude, you don't understand.
• 26:20
  Nicky Billou: You're giving me stupid human reasons.
• 26:23
  Nicky Billou: I'm telling you, God made a decision.
• 26:25
  Nicky Billou: It's over.
• 26:26
  Nicky Billou: It's over.
• 26:27
  Nicky Billou: Nobody, nothing can stop God.
• 26:31
  Virag Guylas: They would argue that they have a different God.
• 26:33
  Virag Guylas: And now their God said something else.
• 26:36
  Nicky Billou: Well, they're losers.
• 26:37
  Nicky Billou: They don't get it.
• 26:38
  Nicky Billou: They can have a different God all they want, but they're evil.
• 26:42
  Nicky Billou: And they're going to be proven to be wrong.
• 26:46
  Nicky Billou: And those of us that see reality and understand God are going to be proven to be right.
• 26:50
  Nicky Billou: I believe, like I said, the Islamic Republic will fall in the next 10 days.
• 26:54
  Nicky Billou: I believe Reza Pahlavi will come to Iran.
• 26:56
  Nicky Billou: And I believe that the people of Iran will overwhelmingly stand with them.
• 27:00
  Nicky Billou: I believe the surviving military organization and police are going to say,
• 27:08
  Nicky Billou: we are no longer part of the Islamic Republic.
• 27:11
  Nicky Billou: We're with the people.
• 27:12
  Nicky Billou: And the people are going to say Reza Pahlavi.
• 27:13
  Nicky Billou: They're going to go, okay, the people say Reza Pahlavi.
• 27:15
  Nicky Billou: Where was Resul Palavid?
• 27:16
  Nicky Billou: And I believe that's going to happen quicker than anybody can imagine.
• 27:21
  Virag Guylas: I hope you are right.
• 27:22
  Virag Guylas: I have my own reservations.
• 27:24
  Virag Guylas: I'm not sure it's going to be this smooth, but this definitely is giving me hope and faith.
• 27:30
  Virag Guylas: I like talking to Jewish people and especially rabbis.
• 27:34
  Virag Guylas: They always have some nice input, you know, and as you said, you just thought it further and put it on the situation with Iran.
• 27:43
  Virag Guylas: And there is some truth to that, for sure.
• 27:44
  Virag Guylas: I really hope it's gonna be that
• 27:47
  Virag Guylas: but on the other hand let's
• 27:49
  Virag Guylas: not kid ourselves maybe we are still
• 27:51
  Virag Guylas: facing a terrorist regime
• 27:53
  Virag Guylas: it's a sect it's someone
• 27:55
  Virag Guylas: that they believe you know that
• 27:57
  Virag Guylas: in a way they are the chosen people
• 27:59
  Virag Guylas: from God and they act like
• 28:01
  Virag Guylas: Ayatollahs always act like they are God
• 28:04
  Virag Guylas: and that is a dangerous
• 28:06
  Virag Guylas: dangerous attitude
• 28:07
  Virag Guylas: you know that can do a lot of harm
• 28:09
  Virag Guylas: there is you know just the basic
• 28:11
  Virag Guylas: psychology of a human being called
• 28:13
  Virag Guylas: ego nobody likes to be so for them to keep up um the face that they haven't lost i don't think they
• 28:22
  Virag Guylas: will just you know say okay take it and then take it over we will see what's gonna happen but it's
• 28:28
  Nicky Billou: definitely a historical time well they're being killed every single day and whoever steps forward
• 28:36
  Virag Guylas: is being killed next for sure but they also kind of feel it it's as a as a purpose of their lives
• 28:43
  Virag Guylas: We see with Hamas, you know, it doesn't matter who is Shia and Sunni, it doesn't matter whoever is in this game to this level of religious, you know, really dogmas.
• 28:55
  Virag Guylas: I was looking for the right word, it just didn't come.
• 28:57
  Virag Guylas: Then they feel dying for the cause is the mission in my life.
• 29:02
  Virag Guylas: No matter how old you are, this is why we see Hamas soldiers, you know, from the age of 14.
• 29:09
  Virag Guylas: And they are ready to kill.
• 29:10
  Virag Guylas: And that's the mission of their lives.
• 29:12
  Virag Guylas: And something similar is going on also with the Iranian regime.
• 29:15
  Virag Guylas: And you look closer, you know, it's over my dead body.
• 29:20
  Nicky Billou: Without leadership, I think a lot of those people are going to melt away.
• 29:24
  Nicky Billou: And as the leadership gets killed, you have to understand, in 1989, 1990, that was true in Europe.
• 29:33
  Nicky Billou: You had all these crazy communists that were over their dead body.
• 29:37
  Nicky Billou: And their leadership just melted away and the army melted away with them.
• 29:42
  Nicky Billou: I think the average soldier in Iran is not a crazy Islamist and they're a human being.
• 29:50
  Nicky Billou: Are there crazy Islamists there?
• 29:52
  Nicky Billou: Sure.
• 29:52
  Nicky Billou: But they're not going to matter.
• 29:54
  Nicky Billou: And I will tell you this.
• 29:57
  Nicky Billou: I see the signs.
• 29:58
  Nicky Billou: I see God's work.
• 30:00
  Nicky Billou: You know, I see it.
• 30:01
  Nicky Billou: I see it every day.
• 30:03
  Nicky Billou: And I'll tell you a story, which I haven't shared with you yet.
• 30:06
  Nicky Billou: But December 31st, I'm sitting in my house in Toronto and I'm watching on Instagram protesters going into the streets.
• 30:17
  Nicky Billou: And so I have a friend of mine who I wrote two books with, Wayne Allen Root.
• 30:23
  Nicky Billou: One of those books was endorsed by President Trump on True Social, which was pretty awesome.
• 30:28
  Nicky Billou: Wayne is a personal friend of the president's.
• 30:30
  Nicky Billou: And I said to Wayne, hey, man, people of Iran are in the streets demonstrating for their freedom.
• 30:37
  Nicky Billou: This happened during the Obama administration, the Biden administration, and they asked for help and recognition and they weren't given it.
• 30:44
  Nicky Billou: Would you be willing to use your relationship with President Trump to ask him to put out a statement of support for the Iranian people?
• 30:52
  Nicky Billou: Wayne usually doesn't answer me quickly.
• 30:54
  Nicky Billou: Takes him a day, two days, whatever.
• 30:56
  Nicky Billou: He answered me in less than a second.
• 30:57
  Nicky Billou: And he said, yes.
• 30:59
  Nicky Billou: And less than 25 seconds later, he copied and pasted my text and showed me a screenshot.
• 31:07
  Nicky Billou: I sent this to President Trump saying, Mr. President, blah, blah, blah, people of Iran
• 31:12
  Nicky Billou: are demonstrating for their freedoms.
• 31:13
  Nicky Billou: It would mean a lot for them to have you give them a statement of support.
• 31:18
  Nicky Billou: Less than eight hours later, at three, four in the morning, good old Donald Trump sent
• 31:22
  Nicky Billou: out a statement of support.
• 31:24
  Nicky Billou: And then after that, I could see that the regime was getting ready to cut off communications
• 31:29
  Nicky Billou: And I said, look, will you ask the president to ask his friend Elon Musk to bring Starlink to Iran?
• 31:35
  Nicky Billou: And he said, yes.
• 31:36
  Nicky Billou: And he did.
• 31:37
  Nicky Billou: He took it to President Trump and said, they're about to cut off the Internet.
• 31:42
  Nicky Billou: Did you ask Elon to do Starlink?
• 31:44
  Virag Guylas: So wait, it's not the Jews who rule the world.
• 31:47
  Virag Guylas: It's you, the Iranian Christian.
• 31:49
  Virag Guylas: I got it.
• 31:50
  Nicky Billou: There you go.
• 31:52
  Nicky Billou: So then two days later, there's reports of Elon dropping all these Starlink units into Iran.
• 31:58
  Nicky Billou: And, you know, when they started killing all the people, I go, Wayne, bring me on your show.
• 32:03
  Nicky Billou: So I came on the show because Trump watches the show.
• 32:06
  Nicky Billou: And I'm there like begging, pleading, attack these guys, get them, kill them, do it.
• 32:10
  Nicky Billou: And I go, Wayne, ask the president, ask the president to attack the regime, ask him to do it.
• 32:16
  Nicky Billou: And he said, okay.
• 32:17
  Nicky Billou: And he did.
• 32:18
  Nicky Billou: And, you know, nothing was happening for days, weeks.
• 32:21
  Nicky Billou: We're getting frustrated.
• 32:22
  Nicky Billou: Keep up the pressure, Wayne, bring me back on the show, whatever.
• 32:25
  Nicky Billou: And actually tonight, I'm back on the show tonight at 7.30 Eastern.
• 32:30
  Nicky Billou: And God bless him.
• 32:32
  Nicky Billou: Wayne Allen Root, who's a Jew, stood up for the people of Iran and asked and leaned on his relationship, his personal relationship and friendship with President Trump to ask him to do things.
• 32:43
  Nicky Billou: Now, Trump probably had a million other people telling him things, but I can tell you, Wayne was the first one to bring it to his attention.
• 32:50
  Nicky Billou: And he listens to Wayne because Wayne has been with him from the beginning.
• 32:54
  Nicky Billou: And one thing about Donald Trump is he's loyal.
• 32:55
  Nicky Billou: He believes people that have been loyal to him deserve his loyalty back.
• 32:59
  Nicky Billou: God bless him, because I don't know a lot of world leaders like that, but he's like that.
• 33:02
  Virag Guylas: So that for sure is true, because, you know, in his books, every time you read Trump's,
• 33:08
  Virag Guylas: whichever books you choose, loyalty is always there.
• 33:11
  Virag Guylas: How he chose sometimes, you know, not the best talent in something, but the person who
• 33:18
  Virag Guylas: will be loyal, because eventually the loyalty, and it's true for business, true for politics,
• 33:23
  Virag Guylas: for friendship so he got there something i want to raise something here i i get a lot of um
• 33:30
  Virag Guylas: harsh criticism on how it how this whole goes aligned with trump's peace plan and how he said
• 33:37
  Virag Guylas: you know he is not starting wars and so on and he's here for peace i think what's missing here
• 33:45
  Virag Guylas: is the big picture for me it's unquestionably fitting into the picture of peacemaking
• 33:53
  Virag Guylas: Exactly. The moment this regime is at least weakened, but let's hope it's actually changed, the fall of the dominoes will start because Russia will be weakened. China will be weakened. So eventually, Iran, the Iranian regime, is responsible for the majority of terrorist attacks and attempts executed both in Europe and in America and in Canada.
• 34:18
  Virag Guylas: so the western world so the moment that regime is eliminated we're gonna have a better and most
• 34:25
  Virag Guylas: peaceful world de facto you know so for me this is part of the peace plan and let's not forget
• 34:31
  Virag Guylas: that the whole peace committee was founded on the premise of the situation gaza but the moment
• 34:38
  Virag Guylas: iran is out of the picture of the regime kamas is you know a big chunk of the funding hence the
• 34:46
  Virag Guylas: Gaza situation is, again, getting the better end of this deal in terms of the people can
• 34:53
  Virag Guylas: be freed as well there because the Palestinian Arabs are not suffering under Israel.
• 34:57
  Virag Guylas: They're suffering under, again, a terrorist regime, which is coming from Iran or at least
• 35:02
  Virag Guylas: founded by Iran.
• 35:03
  Virag Guylas: So for me, it's absolutely making sense step by step how it fits into the peace planning
• 35:10
  Virag Guylas: mission of President Trump.
• 35:12
  Nicky Billou: 100% agree with you on this.
• 35:14
  Nicky Billou: 100% agree with you on this.
• 35:16
  Nicky Billou: And the truth of the matter is that this is not a war. This is a rescue operation. The president of the United States decided for national security and humanitarian reasons to launch a rescue operation. The Islamic regime has been at war with the Western world, including the United States, since 1979. The rest of the world just refused to recognize that fact.
• 35:45
  Nicky Billou: What Donald Trump is doing is ending that war.
• 35:48
  Nicky Billou: That's what he's doing.
• 35:49
  Nicky Billou: This is not starting a war.
• 35:50
  Nicky Billou: This is ending a war.
• 35:53
  Nicky Billou: And he's ending it by a rescue operation that's designed to degrade the capacities of this
• 36:00
  Nicky Billou: regime and give the Iranian people an opportunity to overthrow this regime so they can seize
• 36:07
  Nicky Billou: their own freedoms.
• 36:09
  Nicky Billou: If you listen to his speech that he made at 2.30 in the morning Saturday when he wore that
• 36:15
  Nicky Billou: beautiful baseball cap of his. He said to the brave people of Iran, this is the moment that
• 36:21
  Nicky Billou: you've been waiting for, your freedom to stand. And this may be the only chance you get for many
• 36:27
  Virag Guylas: generations to come. Seize it. And it's very important. When people are criticizing this
• 36:33
  Virag Guylas: whole mission, whether it's a preemptive war or rescue mission, people are criticizing him,
• 36:39
  Virag Guylas: you know, how a sovereign nation is again getting involved into another.
• 36:43
  Virag Guylas: He is not getting involved.
• 36:45
  Virag Guylas: I think it's absolutely fair what he is saying.
• 36:48
  Virag Guylas: And this is, again, proving that he's not exporting democracy.
• 36:51
  Virag Guylas: He's not telling who to choose as the next leader.
• 36:55
  Virag Guylas: What he's saying here, I'm helping you to weaken a regime that's oppressing you,
• 36:59
  Virag Guylas: but the rest is up to you.
• 37:01
  Virag Guylas: He's not Obama.
• 37:02
  Virag Guylas: He's not Bush.
• 37:04
  Virag Guylas: So he's not repeating those same mistakes that, okay, we can't, we can't,
• 37:08
  Virag Guylas: conqueror will tell you what to do and how to do it which is always that goes south from there
• 37:14
  Virag Guylas: he is just as in Venezuela you know he took out Maduro and then he said okay you're gonna deal
• 37:21
  Virag Guylas: with the rest of the situation we just want someone who is not here to hurt us so I have
• 37:28
  Virag Guylas: big hopes and obviously we're gonna understand everything more in the rear mirror and in hindsight
• 37:34
  Virag Guylas: but at the moment with whatever is happening i am supportive of it well listen i think i would
• 37:41
  Nicky Billou: like to have you come back on the show very soon once uh events uh give us something more to talk
• 37:48
  Nicky Billou: about and perhaps if you're up for it maybe we can do some sort of instagram live together
• 37:55
  Nicky Billou: and talk about these issues i i would love to do that with you um and i want to talk
• 38:02
  Nicky Billou: about it from many facets.
• 38:05
  Nicky Billou: I want to talk about it from the point of view of a humanitarian situation,
• 38:09
  Nicky Billou: from the point of view of geopolitics, United States interests,
• 38:12
  Nicky Billou: world interests, Middle East interests, Israeli,
• 38:14
  Nicky Billou: Iran interests, European interests.
• 38:17
  Nicky Billou: I want to talk about it from the point of view of business and commerce and trade.
• 38:22
  Nicky Billou: And I think these are all topics that we can really delve into in a beautiful way
• 38:28
  Nicky Billou: that'll make a difference in terms of educating people.
• 38:32
  Nicky Billou: You know, in 1979, there were a bunch of Islamist terrorists that seized the U.S. embassy.
• 38:40
  Nicky Billou: And there was a nightly program that started called Nightline with Ted Koppel.
• 38:45
  Nicky Billou: And that was every night.
• 38:47
  Nicky Billou: It started then.
• 38:48
  Nicky Billou: And they talked about the hostage situation every day.
• 38:51
  Nicky Billou: And I've been thinking to myself, I would love to collaborate with someone like you on a similar concept.
• 38:59
  Nicky Billou: But really, instead of calling it Nightline, maybe we call it the Freedom Chronicles or Freedom Lines.
• 39:04
  Nicky Billou: Yeah. And just a short, you know, it could be five minutes, could be 10 minutes, could be 20 minutes.
• 39:11
  Nicky Billou: But I would love to do that with you if you're interested.
• 39:15
  Virag Guylas: I absolutely would be honored to, you know, chip in with my ideas and expertise.
• 39:20
  Virag Guylas: And, you know, it's a topic also in my country and very few people have an understanding of the Middle East.
• 39:27
  Virag Guylas: I think what Trump is actually doing very well, he understands the language and the culture of the Middle East, probably because of his business background.
• 39:35
  Virag Guylas: You know, you deal a lot with Arabs and Jews, and it's a different mentality.
• 39:40
  Virag Guylas: And in Europe, you know, I'm getting a lot of shocking to me, by the way, a lot of pushbacks on how the regime is not so bad.
• 39:50
  Virag Guylas: We need to let them do well.
• 39:52
  Virag Guylas: And I'm like, people are getting hanged up on the tragedy of the school.
• 39:56
  Virag Guylas: Whether it happened or not, we're going to figure it out.
• 39:59
  Virag Guylas: But they get hooked on the possibility of 100 kids dead in this state of affairs.
• 40:06
  Virag Guylas: But they are not shocked by the 40,000 people murdered since the beginning of this.
• 40:11
  Nicky Billou: That's why as an Iranian, I don't listen to those people.
• 40:13
  Nicky Billou: And I go, you need to shut up.
• 40:16
  Nicky Billou: You need to stop being so condescending toward the Iranian people.
• 40:18
  Nicky Billou: We know what we want.
• 40:20
  Nicky Billou: We know what we need.
• 40:21
  Nicky Billou: What we don't need is leftist idiots.
• 40:23
  Nicky Billou: Yeah.
• 40:24
  Nicky Billou: Not from Iran telling us what we should want.
• 40:26
  Nicky Billou: Go to hell.
• 40:28
  Virag Guylas: And, you know, especially like from the comfort of your little Western house and flat and home.
• 40:33
  Virag Guylas: And you're so fine.
• 40:34
  Virag Guylas: You're going to tell those people whether they need help or not.
• 40:37
  Virag Guylas: It's really tragic.
• 40:38
  Virag Guylas: But the moment you have this point of view that we both share it here during this short time,
• 40:44
  Virag Guylas: then you are being called the Zionist XYZ with different, you know, name callings.
• 40:49
  Virag Guylas: Or you are just a MAGA again?
• 40:53
  Nicky Billou: Well, the way a racist would use the N-word, you know?
• 40:58
  Nicky Billou: Right.
• 40:58
  Nicky Billou: So if you use the Z-word, you're a racist.
• 41:01
  Nicky Billou: You're an anti-Jewish racist.
• 41:03
  Nicky Billou: And that's what I say.
• 41:04
  Nicky Billou: You use that word, that tells me you're a racist.
• 41:06
  Nicky Billou: So that's okay.
• 41:07
  Nicky Billou: I know what I'm dealing with.
• 41:09
  Nicky Billou: And the truth of the matter is, this is how I deal with these people.
• 41:13
  Nicky Billou: I have a good friend of mine who's on Instagram and does quite a few videos and is a very intelligent man.
• 41:21
  Nicky Billou: His name's Elon, Mualim.
• 41:23
  Nicky Billou: And he likes to engage with people and argue with them.
• 41:27
  Nicky Billou: You know what I like to do?
• 41:29
  Nicky Billou: Cut them off.
• 41:30
  Nicky Billou: Send them to hell and say, bye-bye.
• 41:32
  Nicky Billou: Get out of my feed.
• 41:34
  Nicky Billou: Get lost.
• 41:35
  Nicky Billou: Like some people responded to our post.
• 41:37
  Nicky Billou: Most people were incredibly beautiful and positive and amazing.
• 41:40
  Nicky Billou: But some people said some nasty crap.
• 41:42
  Nicky Billou: And whenever I see one of those, I go, buh-bye.
• 41:45
  Nicky Billou: You're an idiot.
• 41:46
  Nicky Billou: Buh-bye.
• 41:47
  Nicky Billou: Block.
• 41:48
  Nicky Billou: Get lost.
• 41:49
  Nicky Billou: You'll never see me again because you don't deserve me.
• 41:52
  Nicky Billou: You and me, we're beautiful people with beautiful hearts.
• 41:54
  Nicky Billou: We want to attract the beautiful energy.
• 41:56
  Nicky Billou: And when the nasty people come, we got to get rid of them.
• 41:58
  Nicky Billou: It's that simple.
• 41:59
  Virag Guylas: You know, it's hard because even during the last 12 years, apparently, I haven't learned
• 42:04
  Virag Guylas: enough or I'm still very naive at heart because I always believed that eventually we can have
• 42:09
  Virag Guylas: a conversation, but that rarely happens.
• 42:11
  Virag Guylas: Sometimes it does happen, but rarely.
• 42:14
  Virag Guylas: And by the moment I realized there won't be a conversation,
• 42:16
  Nicky Billou: you know, the energy of Israel.
• 42:20
  Virag Guylas: It's really troublesome how the name calling has been also in Hungary.
• 42:25
  Virag Guylas: And that is shocking to me because I don't think most people
• 42:29
  Virag Guylas: understand anything about the situation.
• 42:30
  Virag Guylas: But the moment Israel comes to play,
• 42:33
  Virag Guylas: the level of antisemitism just surfaces.
• 42:36
  Virag Guylas: And I always say that Hungary is still the safest place in Europe for Jews.
• 42:41
  Virag Guylas: if any anti-Semitism occurs, it's very much on the verbal language level.
• 42:45
  Virag Guylas: And that happens online, clearly.
• 42:48
  Virag Guylas: But it's still shocking.
• 42:49
  Virag Guylas: It's still shocking how they blame, you know,
• 42:51
  Virag Guylas: the Zionist state and America for the disaster.
• 42:54
  Virag Guylas: And I'm like, maybe ask the Persians how they feel about it.
• 42:58
  Nicky Billou: Yeah, maybe.
• 42:59
  Nicky Billou: Maybe.
• 42:59
  Nicky Billou: That'd be good.
• 43:00
  Nicky Billou: You know what they're going to say?
• 43:01
  Nicky Billou: We're happy.
• 43:02
  Nicky Billou: Shut up.
• 43:03
  Nicky Billou: Stop condescending to us and tell us how we should feel.
• 43:06
  Nicky Billou: We know how we feel.
• 43:08
  Nicky Billou: And what we don't need is idiots who are silent when our people were being massacred pretending they care right now.
• 43:14
  Nicky Billou: Bye-bye.
• 43:15
  Virag Guylas: Or here is a not-so-funny but a very representative example.
• 43:19
  Virag Guylas: I have many women who are coming and protecting the regime.
• 43:23
  Virag Guylas: And I go on their Facebook pages, and what do I see?
• 43:27
  Virag Guylas: A picture in a bikini, you know, a picture in a very short shorts and like crop tops and stuff.
• 43:33
  Virag Guylas: I screenshot it and I sent it back to them in the comments saying, well, my dear, try this under the Iranian regime that you are protecting so much.
• 43:41
  Virag Guylas: Let me see how you end up.
• 43:43
  Virag Guylas: Yeah, straight up.
• 43:45
  Virag Guylas: So I put out something today on Facebook.
• 43:47
  Virag Guylas: If you are a girl who has pictures in bikini online, please don't defend an Islamic regime to me.
• 43:55
  Virag Guylas: Because that's just the biggest.
• 43:57
  Virag Guylas: It's absurd.
• 43:59
  Virag Guylas: So yeah, people are really not really understanding.
• 44:03
  Nicky Billou: So we end off every episode by asking you, our guest expert, what are your top three expert
• 44:10
  Nicky Billou: action steps?
• 44:10
  Nicky Billou: These are your best pieces of life and success advice.
• 44:16
  Nicky Billou: What say you?
• 44:19
  Virag Guylas: Three.
• 44:20
  Nicky Billou: Three.
• 44:20
  Virag Guylas: Have a bullseye goal.
• 44:22
  Virag Guylas: That always helps me.
• 44:24
  Virag Guylas: Have one bullseye goal.
• 44:26
  Virag Guylas: It doesn't matter which aspect of your life, but you need to have bullseye goal.
• 44:30
  Virag Guylas: And if you see that in front of you all the time, you're going to get there, even if you don't know how.
• 44:35
  Virag Guylas: Obviously, be persistent, because without that, the goal is going to stay far away from you.
• 44:43
  Virag Guylas: And the third one, something I had to learn the hard way, is be kind to yourself.
• 44:50
  Virag Guylas: It's a rough word.
• 44:52
  Nicky Billou: Amen.
• 44:53
  Nicky Billou: I like these.
• 44:53
  Nicky Billou: They're very good.
• 44:54
  Nicky Billou: Excellent.
