  Nicky Billou: - Look, there's no question that anything that hurts the economy
• 0:06
  Nicky Billou: is gonna hurt normal, everyday Iranians in the short term.
• 0:09
  Nicky Billou: But I wanna tell you this, the Iranian people would much rather suffer
• 0:13
  Nicky Billou: some short to medium term pain if it means they'll get rid of this evil regime,
• 0:18
  Nicky Billou: because then brighter days are gonna be ahead.
• 0:25
  Larry Elder: - I am Larry Elder. We are Salem News Channel.
• 0:28
  Larry Elder: My guest hosts two podcasts, The Thought Leader Revolution and The Sovereign Man podcast.
• 0:34
  Larry Elder: He's a New York Times bestselling author born in Tehran to Christian parents.
• 0:38
  Larry Elder: As a teenager, he and his family moved to Canada for their safety.
• 0:42
  Larry Elder: Please welcome back to the program, Nicky Billou.
• 0:48
  Nicky Billou: Larry, how are you?
• 0:49
  Larry Elder: Nikki, always good to see you.
• 0:52
  Larry Elder: First, I want to get your reaction to something that New Jersey Senator Cory Booker said, number 27.
• 0:58
  Do you believe Iran is still a nuclear threat to the United States in the short term?
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Well, again, if you go back to the Iran deal that he tore up, they were not a short-term nuclear threat.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Remember, he was the one that pulled us out of a deal that involved our European allies, Russia and many others that set back the nuclear program.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Now he tore it up and they started moving more and more towards more and more enrichment.
• 1:27
  Larry Elder: Nicky, your reaction?
• 1:29
  Nicky Billou: Senator Cory Booker is the third dumbest man in the United States Senate.
• 1:34
  Nicky Billou: Okay.
• 1:34
  Larry Elder: I need to tell you.
• 1:36
  Larry Elder: I got to hear who are the top two.
• 1:41
  Nicky Billou: Richard Blumenthal and Maisie Hirono.
• 1:44
  Nicky Billou: No dumber than he is.
• 1:46
  Nicky Billou: All right.
• 1:48
  Nicky Billou: But he sounds like he's gone to the Bill Clinton Academy for Foreign Policy.
• 1:53
  Nicky Billou: You know, the same Bill Clinton who allowed North Korea to obtain a nuclear weapon?
• 1:58
  Nicky Billou: I mean, what the heck does this guy think is going on?
• 2:00
  Nicky Billou: The Islamic Republic is an entity that has stated that their goal in life is to eradicate Israel from the face of the earth.
• 2:09
  Nicky Billou: They've stated that America is their number one enemy.
• 2:13
  Nicky Billou: And you want to take a chance with ideologues like this who, for ideological reasons, will never, ever stop going after a nuclear weapon.
• 2:22
  Nicky Billou: Donald Trump sent his vice president to go negotiate with them.
• 2:26
  Nicky Billou: And he said the one thing that will make all this go away is for you to agree that you're never going to go after a nuclear weapon.
• 2:32
  Nicky Billou: And they couldn't bring themselves to even lie to say, no, we won't go after a nuclear weapon.
• 2:38
  Nicky Billou: Cory Booker just doesn't know what the heck he's talking about.
• 2:41
  Nicky Billou: European allies, you mean those same feckless people that don't ever take a step forward for anything to make the world a safer place?
• 2:48
  Nicky Billou: Come on, man. Having them on your side doesn't exactly give you a ringing vote of confidence to make the world a safer place.
• 2:56
  Larry Elder: Come on, Mr. Booker.
• 2:56
  Larry Elder: Nikki, why do they keep saying he tore the deal up?
• 3:01
  Larry Elder: The deal was still there.
• 3:02
  Larry Elder: If Iran wanted to abide by the terms of the agreement, they could have abided by it.
• 3:06
  Larry Elder: The U.K. was still part of the deal.
• 3:08
  Larry Elder: The other European nation was still part of the deal.
• 3:11
  Larry Elder: Why do you say Donald Trump tore it up?
• 3:13
  Larry Elder: He pulled us out of it, but the deal was still in existence.
• 3:18
  Nicky Billou: Absolutely true. He just pulled the United States out of it. The deal was still in existence.
• 3:22
  Nicky Billou: Iran never abided by the terms of the deal. And I should say the Islamic Republic.
• 3:26
  Nicky Billou: That was a mistake on my part because these people have nothing to do with Iran.
• 3:29
  Nicky Billou: In fact, there are a bunch of Arab Egyptians that have come and pretended to be Iranian in order to come and take over this country and make it an Islamist country.
• 3:37
  Nicky Billou: That's what they've done. The Islamic Republic has never abided by the terms of that deal.
• 3:42
  Nicky Billou: They've been enriching uranium from the get-go.
• 3:45
  Nicky Billou: They took the money that Obama and Biden gave them and used it to fund terror networks around the Middle East and the globe.
• 3:53
  Nicky Billou: What the heck is Cory Booker talking about?
• 3:55
  Nicky Billou: Man, this guy is the kind of guy that if this was the Civil War back in the 1860s, the president would lock him up for the duration and throw away the key.
• 4:04
  Nicky Billou: And honestly, that's what should happen to traitors like him.
• 4:08
  Larry Elder: Let's talk about the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
• 4:12
  Larry Elder: What's your take on it? How effective is it? What kind of impact it's going to have on the economy, on inflation, and on normal everyday Iranians?
• 4:20
  Nicky Billou: Look, there's no question that anything that hurts the economy is going to hurt normal everyday Iranians in the short term.
• 4:27
  Nicky Billou: But I want to tell you this. The Iranian people would much rather suffer some short to medium term pain if it means they'll get rid of this evil regime because then brighter days are going to be ahead.
• 4:39
  Nicky Billou: If the regime stays in power, that's the only defeat for the Iranian people.
• 4:44
  Nicky Billou: So this blockade from the point of view of the Iranian people is weakening the Islamic Republic.
• 4:49
  Nicky Billou: They're going to be for it.
• 4:50
  Nicky Billou: They're absolutely going to be for it.
• 4:52
  Nicky Billou: And I want to tell you one other thing, Larry.
• 4:54
  Nicky Billou: This is a masterstroke by Donald Trump because what he's done by locking up the Strait of Hormuz is he's forcing all of these oil tankers to move into the Gulf of America and start buying oil from the United States.
• 5:09
  Nicky Billou: This is hurting people like the communist Chinese because China was buying discounted oil from the Islamic Republic.
• 5:16
  Nicky Billou: Now they're going to have to buy full price oil from the United States in the Gulf of America.
• 5:21
  Nicky Billou: This is only good news, man.
• 5:23
  Nicky Billou: It hurts them economically.
• 5:24
  Nicky Billou: And China is the main adversary to freedom loving people all around the world right now.
• 5:29
  Nicky Billou: So anything that makes China weaker is a good thing.
• 5:33
  Larry Elder: The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic.
• 5:36
  Larry Elder: I want to make sure I get my lingo right.
• 5:38
  Larry Elder: The supreme leader of the Islamic Republic was killed 45 days ago.
• 5:43
  Larry Elder: There still has been no public burial, no public ceremony.
• 5:49
  Larry Elder: The concern, obviously, is for their safety.
• 5:52
  Larry Elder: Is that what's going on here?
• 5:53
  Larry Elder: They're afraid to be out in public?
• 5:56
  Nicky Billou: Damn straight, man.
• 5:57
  Nicky Billou: If they go out in public, Israeli intelligence is going to mark them and probably eliminate them.
• 6:01
  Nicky Billou: That's why they're not doing it.
• 6:03
  Nicky Billou: So from that point of view, it's good to see them cowering in fear.
• 6:08
  Nicky Billou: but honestly, I want to see what the president's going to do next because whatever he does next
• 6:11
  Nicky Billou: has got to be all about weakening these people and making it possible for the Iranian people to
• 6:17
  Nicky Billou: overthrow them. Part of that means they're going to need some weapons. And I know that he publicly
• 6:21
  Nicky Billou: said he tried to get them weapons and the people that were supposed to get the weapons to the
• 6:25
  Nicky Billou: people decided to keep it for themselves. They got to find a way to get weapons into the hands of the
• 6:30
  Nicky Billou: people because if they do that, there's no need for boots on the ground because the Iranian people
• 6:33
  Nicky Billou: are going to be the boots on the ground and they're going to overthrow this regime. And I want to
• 6:37
  Nicky Billou: point, Larry, for your listeners right now, you cannot deal with these people. These people are
• 6:45
  Nicky Billou: the modern day Nazis. They're the Goebbels. They're the Goerings. They're the Hitlers of our time.
• 6:51
  Nicky Billou: They cannot be reasoned with, man. In 1944, the American military didn't go to the Nazis and say,
• 6:59
  Nicky Billou: hey, listen, you know what? We're going to just bomb the hell out of you guys until you surrender,
• 7:03
  Nicky Billou: but we're going to let you keep all these lands you've conquered. No, they said we want unconditional
• 7:06
  Nicky Billou: surrender. And that's it. We want regime change. These are the modern day Nazis. The same policy
• 7:12
  Nicky Billou: needs to be applied to them. How do you get weapons in the hand to the Iranian people, Nikki?
• 7:17
  Nicky Billou: You know, brother, that's a really, really good question. You need some people on the ground
• 7:21
  Nicky Billou: and you need to give them incentives to do that. You need to like give them a carrot and a stick.
• 7:27
  Nicky Billou: And apparently they went to some Kurdish groups and they said, hey, here are the weapons given to
• 7:32
  Nicky Billou: the people. And these Kurds decided, you know what? We like these weapons. We're going to keep
• 7:35
  Nicky Billou: them for ourselves. I think the president needs to go tell his people, go back to these guys and say,
• 7:41
  Nicky Billou: you better deliver those weapons or else. And I think that'll work. I hope that'll work. If not,
• 7:48
  Nicky Billou: I don't know what else to tell you, man. You know, I just don't know. But if we don't put weapons in
• 7:52
  Nicky Billou: the hands of these people so they can fight back against their oppressor, we've got a massive
• 7:57
  Nicky Billou: problem. The other thing that has to happen is there's a bunch of foreign militias from Iraq,
• 8:02
  Nicky Billou: Lebanon and Pakistan who come into Iran because Iranian soldiers don't want to shoot and oppress
• 8:07
  Nicky Billou: their own people. Those militias need to be identified by the intelligence forces,
• 8:11
  Nicky Billou: and the United States and Israel need to wipe them off the face of the earth.
• 8:15
  Nicky Billou: They need to bomb them into oblivion.
• 8:18
  Larry Elder: Nikki, who's running the country?
• 8:20
  Nicky Billou: I think there's elements of the IRGC that are running the country. The people that were part
• 8:24
  Nicky Billou: of the government really don't seem to have much of a say. And these elements are getting weaker
• 8:29
  Nicky Billou: and weaker by the day. And, you know, all I can tell you right now, Larry, is this regime is the
• 8:36
  Nicky Billou: weakest it's ever been. It's the closest it's ever been to being overthrown. I'd like President
• 8:42
  Nicky Billou: Trump to keep the pressure up. I think this blockade's helping. But I think you need to get
• 8:47
  Nicky Billou: weapons in the hands of the people, and you still need to keep bombing these guys. And you especially
• 8:52
  Nicky Billou: need to bomb these foreign militias that they've imported, because these are Islamist militias.
• 8:57
  Nicky Billou: They're thugs and killers, and they've got to be killed.
• 9:01
  Larry Elder: Nicky, the internet is still down.
• 9:02
  Larry Elder: How are people in Iran communicating with each other?
• 9:04
  Larry Elder: How are they getting information from the outside world?
• 9:07
  Nicky Billou: There's some people that have access to things like Starlink,
• 9:11
  Nicky Billou: and those people are using what they have in order to communicate with the outside world.
• 9:17
  Nicky Billou: But, Larry, I've got to tell you, we need to pressure these guys and push them hard enough
• 9:22
  Nicky Billou: that the Iranian people can storm the facilities
• 9:28
  Nicky Billou: where internet communications are housed,
• 9:30
  Nicky Billou: take over and open the country up
• 9:32
  Nicky Billou: because it's a massive problem.
• 9:34
  Nicky Billou: They're using this blackout
• 9:35
  Nicky Billou: in order to go on a killing spree.
• 9:37
  Nicky Billou: They're killing regular Iranians.
• 9:39
  Nicky Billou: They're executing them by the dozen.
• 9:41
  Nicky Billou: Did you hear the story
• 9:41
  Nicky Billou: about that young 19-year-old Olympic wrestler
• 9:44
  Nicky Billou: that they executed with two of his buddies?
• 9:46
  Nicky Billou: I did.
• 9:46
  Nicky Billou: Wasn't that awful?
• 9:47
  Nicky Billou: Yeah.
• 9:48
  Nicky Billou: And since then, there've been dozens and dozens of kids.
• 9:52
  Nicky Billou: Larry, kids that are being executed by these scumbags.
• 9:55
  Larry Elder: Nicky, we only have a few seconds left.
• 9:58
  Larry Elder: If you and I talk two, three weeks from now, what will the state of play be?
• 10:02
  Nicky Billou: You know, I'm praying that the Islamic Republic will be overthrown or on the verge of being
• 10:07
  Nicky Billou: overthrown.
• 10:08
  Nicky Billou: But the truth of the matter is, only God knows.
• 10:10
  Nicky Billou: All those of us that believe in freedom and believe in a better and brighter and more prosperous
• 10:15
  Nicky Billou: world can do is pray that with God on our side and President Trump leading the charge,
• 10:20
  Nicky Billou: we'll be able to overthrow.
• 10:22
  Larry Elder: Leave it there. Leave it there, Nikki. Thank you for joining us. God bless.
