  week.
• 0:58
  So I hope you listened in last week,
• 1:00
  because last week I had an amazing guest
• 1:02
  by the name of Human Khalili.
• 1:05
  And he is an amazing human being who
• 1:07
  has lived in San Francisco for a really
• 1:10
  long time, has been in you know, movie
• 1:13
  the movie industry, radio industry for years, and
• 1:15
  television industry for years.
• 1:18
  Um, kind of got out of that and
• 1:21
  now has a new passion for really exposing
• 1:25
  the um horrors of Sharia law and what
• 1:28
  exactly is going on in countries across the
• 1:32
  globe, um, specifically in regards to the treatment
• 1:35
  of women, the murdering of women um and
• 1:38
  children for that matter.
• 1:42
  And so last week we talked a little
• 1:44
  bit about um Human's mission and how he
• 1:47
  got there, and I'm gonna have him do
• 1:49
  a brief recap on that, but we have
• 1:51
  a follow-up this week because it's interesting.
• 1:54
  Last week I kind of um dove in
• 1:56
  and I was like, you know, let's just
• 1:58
  try, you know, let's just do this.
• 2:00
  We're gonna we're gonna do this, we're gonna
• 2:02
  talk about your stuff.
• 2:04
  And then he said, you know, I have
• 2:05
  this banner that I'd really like to display.
• 2:07
  And I'm like, cool, let's display it over
• 2:09
  in Webster, Texas on my building.
• 2:12
  And that's what we did.
• 2:13
  We got it up in a couple of
• 2:14
  days, which was miraculous in itself.
• 2:16
  Um, and really it went, it was it
• 2:19
  was actually not noticed for a couple of
• 2:21
  days until recently.
• 2:24
  And so that's what uh we're gonna chit
• 2:26
  chat a little bit about um today.
• 2:28
  But who mom, thank you so so much
• 2:30
  for just joining me again today.
• 2:32
  I know it was very last minute, but
• 2:34
  I'm like, hey, we need some follow-up because
• 2:36
  of what I sent to you last night.
• 2:39
  Well, first of all, Dr.
• 2:41
  Angie, such an honor to be back, and
• 2:43
  um yeah, I you know, I've done so
• 2:46
  many of these podcasts, and you never know
• 2:48
  what how the things are gonna play out,
• 2:51
  but 99% of the time, you know one
• 2:53
  thing from the podcaster, they just want a
• 2:56
  lot of information, they want you to be
• 2:59
  entertaining, but none of them will ever jump
• 3:01
  in the foxhole with you.
• 3:04
  None of them will ever grab their gun
• 3:06
  and walk on the front lines with you.
• 3:08
  You are one in a million.
• 3:10
  So let me just begin by saying thank
• 3:12
  you to you.
• 3:14
  Yeah, last time we uh we spoke.
• 3:17
  Uh, here's the recap.
• 3:19
  I said, Hey, I've got this banner, I
• 3:21
  want it on display, and you immediately said,
• 3:23
  put it on my building.
• 3:26
  Which just doesn't happen, which just doesn't happen.
• 3:29
  Now, you have to understand when someone offers
• 3:31
  the building, it's a it's a blessing and
• 3:33
  a curse.
• 3:35
  It's a blessing because hey, I've got a
• 3:37
  building, but the curse is I gotta find
• 3:40
  someone to print it, I've got to find
• 3:42
  someone to install it, and you gotta do
• 3:44
  it quickly.
• 3:46
  With art, you can't sit there and overthink,
• 3:49
  oh my goodness, I need to have the
• 3:51
  best launch party, I need to have the
• 3:54
  greatest speakers.
• 3:57
  Uh, you know, I need to create the
• 4:00
  best invitation with the most perfect font.
• 4:02
  You can't do any of that.
• 4:04
  You just have to get it up, and
• 4:06
  you have to leave it in the Lord's
• 4:08
  hands and just say, God, I'm gonna get
• 4:10
  this thing up, and you have to do
• 4:12
  everything else.
• 4:14
  And so miraculously you connect me with somebody,
• 4:16
  she printed it right away, she figured out
• 4:19
  an install date.
• 4:22
  I didn't know exactly when it was gonna
• 4:23
  go up.
• 4:25
  I jumped on a plane, I came to
• 4:27
  your hometown, and lo and behold, by the
• 4:30
  grace of God, it went up, and it
• 4:33
  went up so quickly, you weren't even there.
• 4:36
  You were at a dinner in Houston, right?
• 4:40
  That's right.
• 4:41
  I mean, I didn't even, I was like,
• 4:42
  oh my gosh, I'm like, I can't be
• 4:44
  in five places at once.
• 4:46
  So I was really disappointed not to be
• 4:47
  able to be there when watching it go
• 4:49
  up.
• 4:50
  But I heard you had an interesting inter
• 4:54
  uh I guess intercedence or a divine appointment.
• 4:59
  Whatever.
• 4:59
  Yeah.
• 5:00
  Yeah.
• 5:01
  So there was a very uh so look,
• 5:03
  the only people that were there for the
• 5:05
  unveiling were the the two dudes who sort
• 5:07
  of installed it.
• 5:09
  Uh one of your employees who took a
• 5:11
  picture of me standing underneath it, and as
• 5:13
  it was going up, there was a very
• 5:16
  beautiful Latina woman, and she ran across the
• 5:18
  street and she said, What is this?
• 5:20
  What is this?
• 5:22
  This looks so exciting.
• 5:23
  All these kids playing soccer on this banner.
• 5:26
  What is it?
• 5:27
  And I said, Oh, these are the kids
• 5:29
  that the Islamic regime has killed.
• 5:32
  And uh, this is in memory of them,
• 5:34
  and to let the world know that the
• 5:36
  Islamic regime of Iran killed children.
• 5:39
  And she looks at me and she says,
• 5:41
  I am dating a Muslim man.
• 5:45
  And I said, You are she says, Yes,
• 5:46
  I'm Catholic.
• 5:48
  Everyone tells me I should break up with
• 5:50
  him.
• 5:51
  There's no way I could support something like
• 5:53
  this.
• 5:54
  And she's telling me about her how conflicted
• 5:57
  she is in this relationship and how much
• 5:59
  she loves the banner.
• 6:02
  Um, and she's keeps saying, I'm I'm trying
• 6:04
  to figure out ways to respect the religion.
• 6:06
  I don't know what to do.
• 6:07
  I don't know why I've been with him
• 6:09
  for a year.
• 6:11
  So her and I have this exchange, she's
• 6:13
  super excited, and then last night I'm in
• 6:15
  Washington, DC.
• 6:17
  I'm here in DC for the they're having
• 6:20
  a rededication uh to America, and they're gonna
• 6:23
  have all these pastors and worship leaders on
• 6:26
  the national mall.
• 6:29
  Soon as I'm done with this interview, I'm
• 6:30
  gonna head over there.
• 6:32
  And I was at a cigar bar last
• 6:34
  night with a group of Christian men, and
• 6:36
  this one Arab woman walks over and she
• 6:38
  starts swearing at us.
• 6:41
  She said, I heard you say the word
• 6:42
  Israel.
• 6:44
  Why do you keep saying Israel?
• 6:45
  You guys don't know what the F you're
• 6:46
  talking about.
• 6:48
  And she's swearing up a storm.
• 6:50
  And then she says, What are you doing?
• 6:53
  What are you doing?
• 6:55
  I said, I make murals in support of
• 6:57
  the women of Iran who are being murdered
• 6:59
  for showing their hair.
• 7:00
  Hair.
• 7:01
  And her face changed so quickly.
• 7:01
  And her face changed so quickly.
• 7:04
  Oh my gosh.
• 7:04
  Oh my gosh.
• 7:05
  Well, why are you saying Israel?
• 7:05
  Why are you saying Israel?
• 7:07
  I said, Where are you from?
• 7:07
  I said, Where are you from?
• 7:08
  I think she said Lebanon.
• 7:08
  I think she said Lebanon.
• 7:10
  I said, Well, I went to Lebanon and
• 7:10
  I said, Well, I went to Lebanon and
• 7:11
  I went to Syria and Afghanistan and Qatar
• 7:11
  I went to Syria and Afghanistan and Qatar
• 7:13
  and the UAE.
• 7:13
  and the UAE.
• 7:15
  And I said, Can I put up a
• 7:15
  And I said, Can I put up a
• 7:16
  mural with a woman's hair showing?
• 7:16
  mural with a woman's hair showing?
• 7:18
  And all those countries said no.
• 7:18
  And all those countries said no.
• 7:20
  I said, Your country said no.
• 7:20
  I said, Your country said no.
• 7:21
  I said the only country that said yes
• 7:21
  I said the only country that said yes
• 7:23
  was Israel.
• 7:23
  was Israel.
• 7:26
  And you know, after 25 minute dialogue, she
• 7:26
  And you know, after 25-minute dialogue, she actually.
• 7:28
  actually extended her hand and said, I'm sorry
• 7:30
  for yelling at you, and I'm sorry for
• 7:32
  swearing at you.
• 7:35
  Wow.
• 7:37
  So just in a short amount of time,
• 7:39
  you know, there's been at least some positive
• 7:42
  dialogue.
• 7:44
  And I just want to say a huge,
• 7:47
  like uh, I just want to give you
• 7:50
  a huge accolade because you know, you've got
• 7:53
  this beautiful building, this brand new beautiful building.
• 7:56
  You know, you're you're very outspoken, you're very
• 7:58
  courageous.
• 8:00
  Um, and you're living in a way where
• 8:02
  like you're fearless, and there are so few
• 8:05
  people like you.
• 8:08
  And yet the fact that you allowed me
• 8:10
  to put this banner up on your wall,
• 8:13
  and uh from what I understand, there's been
• 8:15
  a little bit of fallout.
• 8:17
  I just want to tell you how grateful
• 8:19
  I am to you, and I would like
• 8:21
  you to tell us about the fallout if
• 8:23
  you uh have if you if you'd like.
• 8:25
  Well, you know, really and truly, um, I'm
• 8:28
  living no differently than I've always lived.
• 8:32
  And I was taught at a very young
• 8:34
  age that if you are not going to
• 8:36
  stand up for yourself, no one's gonna do
• 8:38
  it for you.
• 8:40
  And I also learned very early on that
• 8:43
  sometimes you have to be courageous for others
• 8:46
  before they get the courage for themselves, and
• 8:49
  I also learned uh that uh you you
• 8:52
  have to grab on to a piece of
• 8:55
  history, whether it's personal or not, and hold
• 8:58
  true to that history, and so with that,
• 9:01
  you know, um, I alluded to the fact
• 9:04
  that my mother was born in Belarus and
• 9:07
  Minsk, Belarus, and um was taking uh was
• 9:10
  taken very young to Germany, um, and was
• 9:14
  put into a quote unquote work camp, which
• 9:17
  is a euphemism.
• 9:20
  Um they um and she lived there her
• 9:22
  entire childhood, she didn't get to the United
• 9:25
  States until much later.
• 9:28
  By the grace of God, she was in
• 9:31
  a camp that was liberated by American soldiers
• 9:34
  and not other soldiers from the opposite side,
• 9:37
  and so she lived in the camp up
• 9:40
  until the mid uh probably early to mid-50s
• 9:43
  before she moved here to the United States,
• 9:46
  and um she was she was branded a
• 9:49
  displaced person, which back then kind of like
• 9:52
  refugee status, I guess, for for now, right?
• 9:56
  And because these were people without a country,
• 9:58
  they couldn't go back to their country.
• 10:00
  Um, and so it was it was really
• 10:03
  no no way to do anything except below
• 10:06
  look forward, they couldn't look backwards, obviously.
• 10:09
  So um, my mother's family came here.
• 10:12
  Now, interestingly enough, my mother was an orphan
• 10:15
  because her parents were my maternal grandparents were
• 10:19
  killed in the street in their little suburb
• 10:22
  of Minsk during the war because her father
• 10:25
  resisted, and then when her father resisted was
• 10:28
  killed, as the story goes, her mother tried
• 10:32
  to pull him out of the street or
• 10:35
  off of the body pile, and she was
• 10:38
  killed there too.
• 10:42
  Um and so, you know, my mother would
• 10:45
  always remind me as a child to never
• 10:48
  forget.
• 10:51
  Don't forget where you came from, don't forget
• 10:53
  your history, don't forget your roots.
• 10:56
  Um, and and we just have to understand
• 10:58
  in America how blessed we are and how
• 11:01
  fortunate we are in that the American dream
• 11:03
  is actually not just a dream but a
• 11:05
  reality to many, many people that come to
• 11:08
  this country.
• 11:10
  And so when you when you look at
• 11:13
  things in this way, it's hard for you
• 11:16
  to kind of watch things pass you by
• 11:18
  passively, and um I've been an advocate for
• 11:21
  children for over 30 years.
• 11:24
  I've been a pediatrician by trade for 30
• 11:25
  years.
• 11:27
  Um, but but my support and love for
• 11:30
  being advocates of kids that were um somehow
• 11:33
  disadvantaged goes way back to when I was
• 11:36
  probably in grade school because I was one
• 11:39
  of those peer peer kids that helped kids
• 11:42
  with learning disabilities.
• 11:45
  Um I was asked to step out of
• 11:47
  class and and help in PE classes with
• 11:49
  kids with disabilities.
• 11:51
  So it was kind of a really cool
• 11:53
  um position to be in when the school
• 11:56
  recognized, hey, this this kiddo has a talent
• 11:59
  for something, and or at least a passion
• 12:01
  for something and has real true compassion to
• 12:04
  help.
• 12:06
  And so um that's kind of how I
• 12:08
  just did this.
• 12:10
  And so when you were telling me this,
• 12:12
  I was like, oh my gosh, this is
• 12:14
  this is an homage to children on both
• 12:16
  sides of a war that no one wants,
• 12:18
  no one wants this war, I'm sure.
• 12:21
  The good people of Iran don't want this
• 12:23
  war, the good people of Israel do not
• 12:26
  want this war, no one wants this war,
• 12:28
  but you know, evil remains in the world
• 12:31
  today, and we have to do everything in
• 12:34
  our in our power to thwart evil if
• 12:36
  we can't stop it.
• 12:39
  And so that's kind of what I saw
• 12:40
  this as.
• 12:41
  You know, I know that I am powerless
• 12:43
  against a war on another side of the
• 12:44
  globe.
• 12:46
  I'm powerless.
• 12:47
  There's nothing I could do over there, right?
• 12:49
  There's nothing I could say or do that's
• 12:50
  gonna stop them immediately from doing what they're
• 12:52
  doing.
• 12:54
  But what I can do is at least
• 12:56
  bring awareness to the fact that there are
• 12:59
  innocents, especially children that are mining their own
• 13:02
  business that are targets of terrorism.
• 13:05
  We have that in this country too, you
• 13:06
  know.
• 13:08
  And you know, a lot of people that
• 13:11
  saw um my post my banner posted it
• 13:14
  on a Facebook group, you know, that's talk
• 13:17
  of the local city, and this woman obviously
• 13:20
  does not have the same mindset, and just
• 13:23
  did an absolute hit piece on me and
• 13:27
  my my practice and doesn't know me personally,
• 13:30
  I don't think.
• 13:33
  I mean, I find it hard to believe
• 13:35
  that I would socialize with such a person,
• 13:37
  but maybe you never know.
• 13:39
  And um, and the the beauty of it
• 13:41
  was I just sat back and wait, and
• 13:43
  when I found it, of course, there was
• 13:45
  already 67 comments on it or something crazy,
• 13:47
  and so I actually went back and read
• 13:49
  through the comments because I was like, Well,
• 13:51
  I don't know.
• 13:54
  This is obviously misunderstood because she posted that
• 13:56
  this was an Islamist Islamist Islamophobic, I'm sorry,
• 13:59
  I can't speak this morning.
• 14:00
  Islamophobic.
• 14:01
  I'm sorry, I can't speak this morning.
• 14:02
  Islamophobic banner that I decided to post on
• 14:02
  Islamophobic uh banner that I decided to post
• 14:04
  this.
• 14:05
  on this, and it wasn't, it's an homage
• 14:06
  And it wasn't.
• 14:07
  It's an homage to children killed unnecessarily, right?
• 14:09
  to children killed unnecessarily, right?
• 14:12
  And at the hands of terrorists.
• 14:12
  And at the hands of terrorists, even children
• 14:14
  in their own country that are killed by
• 14:14
  Even children in their own country that are
• 14:16
  terrorists.
• 14:16
  killed by terrorists.
• 14:18
  It's a domestic terrorism is a is a
• 14:18
  It's a domestic terrorism is a is a
• 14:20
  big buzzword here in the United States.
• 14:20
  big buzzword here in the United States.
• 14:22
  We have it here, but it happens everywhere,
• 14:22
  We have it here, but it happens everywhere.
• 14:24
  it happens all across the globe.
• 14:24
  It happens all across the globe.
• 14:26
  But if we as individuals do not stand
• 14:26
  But if we as individuals do not stand
• 14:28
  up.
• 14:29
  up against what is happening, or at least
• 14:32
  bring some awareness to what is happening, you
• 14:34
  know, for the last five years, a lot
• 14:37
  of people have lived under a rock.
• 14:40
  I mean, a really big rock, and they
• 14:42
  don't know what's happening in the world.
• 14:44
  And especially in America, because Americans just tend
• 14:48
  to be very um easocentric.
• 14:52
  They just want to know what's going on
• 14:54
  in their immediate area, and that's about it.
• 14:56
  You know, I'm very act locally, think globally
• 14:58
  type of person.
• 15:00
  So I'm a little bit of the opposite.
• 15:02
  Um, when I when I do things, I
• 15:04
  really do it with intention.
• 15:07
  And so, you know, the intent was a
• 15:08
  loving intent.
• 15:10
  The intent was not hate.
• 15:12
  I don't hate Israelis, and I don't hate
• 15:14
  Muslims.
• 15:15
  I mean, I have people of all creeds
• 15:17
  and all religions in my practice.
• 15:20
  So that wasn't for that at all.
• 15:22
  That was this is just an awareness thing.
• 15:25
  There's actually more Muslims on that poster than
• 15:26
  there are Israelis.
• 15:28
  Um, and there's two Christian Bible verses on
• 15:30
  it.
• 15:32
  So would you mind telling them the two
• 15:35
  vibal verses that are on the banner that
• 15:38
  obviously got missed in this?
• 15:42
  Right.
• 15:43
  So, yeah, so let me let me just
• 15:46
  take a step back here and explain like
• 15:48
  what the banner is for those of you
• 15:50
  who didn't hear the podcast last week.
• 15:53
  Um, two years ago, Hezbollah fired a rocket
• 15:56
  into a Druze village, D R U Z
• 16:00
  E village, and the missile landed on a
• 16:03
  soccer field and killed 12 uh children who
• 16:07
  were all playing soccer.
• 16:11
  And uh the Druze religion is a um
• 16:14
  it's a unique, it's a unique religion that
• 16:17
  has a lot of secrets, and people just
• 16:20
  don't quite know what it's about and entirely
• 16:23
  what they preach.
• 16:26
  Um, and they won't they won't share it.
• 16:29
  Uh in the Druze faith, you have to
• 16:31
  marry another Druze, or you actually get kicked
• 16:33
  out of the religion.
• 16:35
  And so uh in the Druze faith, their
• 16:39
  highest prophet is a guy that you know
• 16:42
  we don't really ever talk about as Christians,
• 16:45
  but it's it's Moses' father-in-law.
• 16:49
  The guy's name is the guy's name is
• 16:51
  Jethro.
• 16:54
  So you know, with the Iranian children who
• 16:56
  are in the mural, all killed by the
• 16:59
  Islamic regime.
• 17:02
  I I don't have access to those families,
• 17:04
  I don't have access to those those mothers
• 17:06
  and fathers to say, hey, can I use
• 17:08
  this image?
• 17:10
  I just put the images up with the
• 17:12
  Druze children.
• 17:14
  I do, I did have access, and I
• 17:16
  really wanted to honor who these people are,
• 17:18
  but I wanted to do it from a
• 17:20
  Judeo-Christian perspective.
• 17:22
  Yeah, for sure.
• 17:23
  And so, yeah, and so uh Jethro does
• 17:27
  have a big moment in the Bible.
• 17:30
  He has a big moment in the book
• 17:32
  of Exodus.
• 17:33

  principles removing its pledge not to use AI
• 19:33
  for weapons or surveillance?
• 19:37
  A promise they agreed to in 2018.
• 19:40
  Well, the American people have seen Google's track
• 19:41
  record.
• 19:42
  Often the question is Google an untrustworthy player
• 19:45
  in the AI race.
• 19:52
  Now is our time, my fellow Americans.
• 19:56
  America of Mao.
• 20:08
  And we are back.
• 20:09
  I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cut you
• 20:12
  off, Human, but I want I know you're
• 20:15
  gonna go into a really deep historical um
• 20:18
  account of um the Druze um religion and
• 20:20
  who they feel is their leader of their
• 20:23
  religion from the Bible, which is Moses' father-in-law,
• 20:26
  who has a big active part.
• 20:29
  So yeah, gohan, please, please go ahead.
• 20:33
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 20:35
  So in the book of Exodus, Jethro does
• 20:37
  have this very big moment.
• 20:39
  So to set up the scene, this is
• 20:42
  right after basically God parted the Red Sea
• 20:46
  and the Jews walked on dry ground.
• 20:50
  And so this is the Jews have been
• 20:52
  rescued from Egypt.
• 20:55
  So Exodus 18 starts off with, you know,
• 20:58
  Jethro, the priest of Midian, the father in
• 21:00
  Of Midian, the father in law of Moses
• 21:00
  law of Moses heard everything God had done
• 21:02
  heard everything God had done for Moses and
• 21:02
  for Moses and the people of Israel, and
• 21:04
  the people of Israel, and how he and
• 21:04
  how he and how the Lord brought Israel
• 21:06
  how the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt.
• 21:06
  out of Egypt.
• 21:09
  So it goes on and on, and and
• 21:09
  So it goes on and on, and it
• 21:11
  it sort of, you know, talks about this
• 21:12
  sort of, you know, talks about this moment.
• 21:14
  moment, and then in uh verse seven, it
• 21:14
  And then in uh verse seven, it says,
• 21:16
  says Moses went out to meet his father
• 21:17
  Moses went out to meet his father in
• 21:19
  in law.
• 21:19
  law.
• 21:21
  He bowed down, kissed him, they greeted one
• 21:21
  He bowed down, kissed him, they greeted one
• 21:23
  another, and then Moses tells his father-in-law everything
• 21:24
  another, and then Moses tells his father in
• 21:26
  the Lord had done to Pharaoh and the
• 21:26
  law everything the Lord had done to Pharaoh.
• 21:28
  Egyptians for Israel's sake about all the hardships
• 21:31
  they met along the way and how the
• 21:33
  Lord saved them.
• 21:36
  All right.
• 21:37
  So all of that happens, and then these
• 21:40
  are the verses I put on the banner
• 21:43
  to you know point out Jethro, his role
• 21:47
  in the Bible, and to point out something
• 21:50
  actually a lot bigger, which is the glory
• 21:53
  and the honor of God.
• 21:56
  And the glory and honor of God is
• 21:59
  right now in these verses spoken by Jethro.
• 22:03
  So verse 9, Exodus 18, verse 9.
• 22:06
  Jethro was delighted to hear about all the
• 22:08
  good things the Lord had done for Israel
• 22:10
  in rescuing them from the hand of the
• 22:12
  Egyptians.
• 22:14
  He said, Praise be to the Lord who
• 22:17
  rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians
• 22:19
  and of Pharaoh, and who rescued the people
• 22:22
  from the hand of Egyptians.
• 22:25
  Now, this is the this is the money
• 22:27
  shot here.
• 22:29
  Uh Exodus 18, verse 11.
• 22:32
  This is what Jethro says.
• 22:34
  Now I know that the Lord is greater
• 22:37
  than all other gods.
• 22:41
  For he did this to those who had
• 22:44
  treated Israel arrogantly.
• 22:48
  Now, why is this a big deal?
• 22:50
  Why is this a big deal for the
• 22:51
  Druze to hear?
• 22:53
  Why is this a big deal to put
• 22:54
  in the banner?
• 22:55
  I mean, I'm sure there's a handful of
• 22:57
  people listening to this going, no one talks
• 22:59
  about Jethro.
• 23:01
  And you're right.
• 23:02
  No one talks about Jethro, no one.
• 23:05
  But as I'm being like sort of culturally
• 23:09
  sensitive and incorporating, like sort of this Judeo
• 23:12
  Christian history.
• 23:17
  If you do a deep dive in Jethro,
• 23:19
  he's a Midian priest.
• 23:22
  And nowhere in the Bible does it ever
• 23:24
  say he accepted Judaism.
• 23:27
  I mean, there's big debates among theologians and
• 23:29
  rabbis.
• 23:31
  Does Jethro even get to go to heaven?
• 23:34
  And yet here he is quoted in the
• 23:35
  Bible.
• 23:37
  No one knows what happened to Jethro.
• 23:39
  No one knows, but there's no indication that
• 23:43
  he ever accepted the God of the Jews.
• 23:48
  But his own words are saying, the Lord,
• 23:50
  the God of the Jews is greater than
• 23:52
  all other gods.
• 23:57
  So I put this in the banner because
• 23:59
  this mural first went up in that Druze
• 24:01
  village.
• 24:02
  The the Druze villages called Majdel Shamps.
• 24:31
  And that was sort of my way of
• 24:33
  like honoring Jethro as well.
• 24:35
  So the background of the banner on the
• 24:37
  Israel side is Jethro's tomb and the Mount
• 24:39
  of Olives.
• 24:42
  And on the right side of the banner
• 24:45
  is Azadi Tower, which is Freedom Tower in
• 24:49
  Iran, and um King Cyrus' tomb.
• 24:54
  So yeah, I I gave everybody a Bible
• 24:57
  lesson with those verses.
• 25:00
  I honored the Druze community, obviously all 24
• 25:03
  of the children.
• 25:06
  And the referee in the banner is a
• 25:09
  female soccer player who was killed by the
• 25:13
  Islamic regime on January 8th of this year.
• 25:17
  So everything is like uh, you know, hopefully
• 25:20
  opening up people's eyes to the brutality and
• 25:24
  the mercilessness of the Islamic regime, not just
• 25:27
  towards adult men and women, but towards children,
• 25:31
  they target children.
• 25:34
  And if you do another deep dive and
• 25:37
  you just type into Google or wherever, Chat
• 25:40
  GPT, what countries have um the Islamic regime
• 25:43
  use their proxies to kill children?
• 25:46
  I mean, you're you're basically looking at almost
• 25:49
  every continent on the planet.
• 25:53
  So the whole point of this mural is
• 25:56
  obviously with FIFA coming up.
• 25:59
  My hope and prayer is that the president
• 26:02
  sees this, he loves it, he adopts it
• 26:05
  because his face is on this banner.
• 26:08
  He won the FIFA peace prize.
• 26:10
  Two billion people are gonna be watching the
• 26:12
  World Cup.
• 26:13
  Like if there's ever a time to open
• 26:16
  up the eyes of the world to the
• 26:18
  brutality of the Islamic regime, it's now.
• 26:21
  So God, we've done everything we can do.
• 26:25
  You've got to take it from here, and
• 26:27
  you gotta make the world see it.
• 26:29
  Amen.
• 26:30
  And that one, but you know, you know,
• 26:33
  we kind of anticipated the fact that this
• 26:36
  banner was going to ruffle some feathers and
• 26:39
  probably be misinterpreted or misunderstood, or whatever way
• 26:42
  you want to call it, which of course,
• 26:45
  um, it took a little bit, took about
• 26:48
  four days, and then it was completely misunderstood.
• 26:51
  And um, you know, there have been um
• 26:54
  a few people close to me that that
• 26:57
  say, you know, you probably should take that
• 27:00
  down.
• 27:04
  Oh no, and I'm like, nope, not doing
• 27:05
  it.
• 27:08
  Sorry.
• 27:09
  So uh I'm not gonna take it down.
• 27:12
  No, I'm not gonna take it down anytime
• 27:13
  real soon.
• 27:14
  It'll come down eventually, but it's not coming
• 27:16
  down real soon.
• 27:17
  Um and and I think you know, you
• 27:20
  may I don't even think I told you
• 27:23
  this, but all throughout my building, I invited
• 27:25
  uh very close friends of mine to write
• 27:28
  verses on studs within the walls of my
• 27:30
  practice.
• 27:33
  And so um this whole experience, I think
• 27:37
  is just one of those things that I
• 27:40
  say often.
• 27:43
  I always say, 'God puts people in your
• 27:45
  path for a reason.' You were put in
• 27:47
  my path for a reason, right?
• 27:49
  Um I didn't know you before two weeks
• 27:52
  ago.
• 27:54
  I had no idea who you were a
• 27:55
  couple weeks ago.
• 27:56
  So, you know, it's it's divine appointments are
• 27:58
  are done in different ways all all the
• 28:00
  Done in different ways all the time.
• 28:00
  time.
• 28:02
  And I think one of the things that
• 28:02
  And I think one of the things that
• 28:04
  I am thankful for is that I look
• 28:04
  I am thankful for is that I look
• 28:05
  for those.
• 28:05
  for those.
• 28:07
  Um I never understand sometimes where you know,
• 28:07
  Um I never understand sometimes where you know
• 28:10
  someone just kind of hits it off with
• 28:10
  someone just kind of hits it off with
• 28:13
  you, and you start chit chatting, and then
• 28:13
  you, and you start chit chatting, and then
• 28:15
  you know, really, I had no idea you
• 28:15
  you know, really, I had no idea you
• 28:18
  had this banner about the kids.
• 28:18
  had this banner about the kids.
• 28:22
  I only saw the ones that you had
• 28:22
  I only saw the ones that you had
• 28:24
  displayed, um, and that you had shown at
• 28:24
  displayed um and that you had shown at
• 28:27
  your talk, um, in regards to the women.
• 28:27
  your talk, um, in regards to the women.
• 28:30
  I didn't, you know, you hadn't mentioned a
• 28:32
  kid's one until the very end, I think.
• 28:34
  And um, so everything happens for a reason.
• 28:41
  I'm one of those people, and I believe
• 28:43
  that we have to pave our path, and
• 28:45
  you have to stand up for what you
• 28:47
  believe in.
• 28:49
  You have to stand up for your um
• 28:51
  and advocate for those that you feel don't
• 28:54
  have a voice, whether it's any more or
• 28:56
  yet.
• 28:58
  Um, and that's kind of where I sit,
• 29:01
  and I really try very hard to even
• 29:04
  with this radio show.
• 29:08
  I mean, this radio show has gone so
• 29:10
  in so many different directions for me.
• 29:13
  Um, you know, it started in a more
• 29:16
  health and wellness medical healing space, and now
• 29:19
  it's moved into a little different space.
• 29:22
  Um, but I can tell you one of
• 29:25
  the things that is really uh encouraging for
• 29:27
  me and very eye-opening is how everything intermingles,
• 29:30
  you know.
• 29:33
  I'm a pediatrician, you're a filmmaker radio guy
• 29:36
  who is, you know, has rubbed elbows with
• 29:39
  lots of stars.
• 29:42
  Um and I always tell people I'm the
• 29:45
  podunk pediatrician from a podunk town, and um,
• 29:47
  and here it is, you know, here we
• 29:49
  are.
• 29:51
  So it's just kind of an it's it's
• 29:53
  really awe-inspiring.
• 29:55
  I I really have so much um admiration
• 29:57
  for you.
• 30:00
  I mean, the way you just I mean,
• 30:02
  you were like, I'll be there in a
• 30:04
  week, not even a week.
• 30:05
  You were there in a couple days, I'll
• 30:07
  change my air flight.
• 30:08
  I have this, I'm gonna squeeze it between
• 30:09
  here and here, and we're gonna get this
• 30:10
  poster done.
• 30:11
  We're gonna get it hung up.
• 30:12
  And I mean, it's a whirlwind.
• 30:14
  I mean, you there's probably only one other
• 30:16
  person that's like that that I know, and
• 30:18
  that's me.
• 30:21
  So it's why we get along so well.
• 30:25
  It's like, oh no, I have to do
• 30:26
  something.
• 30:27
  Let me go, hurry, you know.
• 30:29
  So I really appreciate you you trusting me
• 30:31
  too, you know, because I think that's a
• 30:33
  a huge thing.
• 30:35
  And I was trusting my community around me.
• 30:39
  I have a very, very broad and strong
• 30:41
  community that even if they didn't agree with
• 30:44
  it, because this was kind of my thought.
• 30:46
  You don't have to agree with me, you
• 30:48
  don't have to agree with the poster.
• 30:49
  I may not agree with 100% of what
• 30:51
  you're doing, and I may not agree with
• 30:53
  100% of what is shown on the on
• 30:55
  the banner, but that's not the point.
• 30:57
  The point is is it's on display for
• 31:01
  others to interpret and understand and become aware.
• 31:06
  And unfortunately, um, the hit piece that went
• 31:09
  up on Facebook in a couple of these
• 31:12
  Facebook groups, it's obvious that the person who
• 31:16
  posted it did not even read the banner.
• 31:20
  They just they read a part of it
• 31:22
  or saw the flags or something, and then
• 31:24
  went crazy, you know.
• 31:27
  And there, you know, there are people in
• 31:30
  this world that hold on to um beliefs
• 31:34
  that you know they they actually they're their
• 31:37
  beliefs, and so therefore to them they're true,
• 31:40
  but it's not a true belief system for
• 31:44
  lack of better term.
• 31:47
  And so I think we have to be
• 31:50
  mindful of those people and help hopefully break
• 31:53
  through or show them hey, this is a
• 31:55
  this is just a different perspective.
• 31:58
  Maybe you need to look at a different
• 32:01
  perspective to formulate either a revised belief, or
• 32:04
  if you truly were to solidify the belief
• 32:07
  you do have, you know, like I'm all
• 32:10
  about um people not agreeing with me.
• 32:13
  I don't have a problem with you not
• 32:14
  agreeing with me.
• 32:15
  I have a problem with you shouting me
• 32:17
  down and not having an intelligible conversation about
• 32:19
  it.
• 32:21
  Um, and that that has been really um
• 32:25
  magnified over the last six years.
• 32:29
  It's incredible to me.
• 32:30
  I don't care what front it is, medical
• 32:34
  front, political front, even economic fronts, um everything
• 32:37
  is so uh knee jerk reaction, and um
• 32:40
  you know, people are saying, Well, I'm doing
• 32:44
  my research.
• 32:47
  Well, you know, I and I say this
• 32:49
  to my kids all the time.
• 32:51
  This is one of the reasons why I
• 32:54
  save encyclopedia brickannicas, because you know, they yeah,
• 32:58
  not everything in there is is straight, you
• 33:01
  know, from the hip or what you would
• 33:05
  call politically correct, but I could tell you
• 33:08
  that it's information and it's a different perspective
• 33:12
  on information, and sometimes that's better than computer
• 33:15
  information now where it can be manipulated or
• 33:18
  it could be erased, or it could be
• 33:22
  completely altered to change history.
• 33:26
  It's true, it's true.
• 33:29
  I mean, that's a big thing here in
• 33:30
  Texas.
• 33:32
  I can tell you that for sure.
• 33:34
  Yeah, you you bring up you bring up
• 33:36
  a ton of really valid points, but the
• 33:39
  the one I sort of want to emphasize
• 33:41
  is there's no perfect time for anything, and
• 33:44
  for those of you who are listening who
• 33:46
  are in the yards or planning to do
• 33:49
  something, it doesn't matter how many people tell
• 33:51
  you today that they're gonna actually show up
• 33:54
  or they're gonna be there, they're gonna cover
• 33:57
  it.
• 33:59
  You can you could immediately put that number
• 34:02
  to half.
• 34:04
  You as the person is the creative is
• 34:06
  the person going out trying to, you gotta
• 34:08
  get these things up.
• 34:10
  You just got to get them up, even
• 34:12
  if there's nobody there, you gotta get it
• 34:14
  up.
• 34:15
  There was another group out of Texas, and
• 34:18
  this was a few months back, and I
• 34:20
  said to them, you know, Purim, which is
• 34:23
  mentioned in the book of Esther, is um
• 34:25
  it's the holiday that really unites the Persians
• 34:28
  and the Jews.
• 34:31
  Can we put up a mural for Purim?
• 34:33
  And immediately they said yes, and then they
• 34:35
  started micromanaging me.
• 34:37
  They started micromanaging everything.
• 34:39
  They didn't they said there were too many
• 34:40
  fonts, different types of styles of fonts on
• 34:42
  the invitation.
• 34:44
  They they would say, um, you know, we
• 34:46
  we don't like how much green you're using.
• 34:49
  Uh, and they and I I finally realized
• 34:51
  these people are never they're never gonna actually
• 34:53
  pull the trigger.
• 34:56
  And uh I I put two murals up
• 34:58
  for Purim, one in Indiana and one in
• 35:00
  One in Indiana and one in Austin.
• 35:01
  Austin, and I came back to them.
• 35:03
  And I came back to them.
• 35:04
  I said, Hey, all the money I raised
• 35:04
  I said, hey, all the money I raised
• 35:06
  for you guys for the event, I spent
• 35:06
  for you guys for the event I spent
• 35:08
  on these other two Purim murals.
• 35:08
  on these other two poor murals.
• 35:10
  Um, will you guys pick up the tab?
• 35:10
  Um, will you guys pick up the tab?
• 35:13
  And they said, You need to pause, you
• 35:13
  And they said, you need to pause, you
• 35:14
  need to slow down.
• 35:14
  need to slow down.
• 35:16
  I'm like, 50,000 Iranians were just killed.
• 35:16
  I'm like, 50,000 Iranians were just killed.
• 35:19
  I'm not gonna pause.
• 35:19
  I'm not gonna pause.
• 35:20
  I'm not gonna slow down.
• 35:20
  I'm not gonna slow down.
• 35:23
  And uh the point of the story is
• 35:23
  And uh the point of the story is
• 35:25
  if God wants you to do something, and
• 35:26
  if God wants you to do something.
• 35:28
  all of a sudden you get stuck with
• 35:31
  like, you know, some bozos who micromanage you,
• 35:34
  just keep going.
• 35:36
  Don't wait on them.
• 35:38
  Just make it happen.
• 35:40
  You will find people like Dr.
• 35:41
  Angie who will see the vision and they
• 35:44
  will really understand the sense of urgency.
• 35:47
  Because that's what this comes down to.
• 35:49
  Like you need to be fighting every day
• 35:51
  on the front lines now.
• 35:54
  Don't wait a month or two.
• 35:58
  If someone says I have a wall for
• 36:00
  you, get the banner up next week.
• 36:02
  Like make it happen.
• 36:04
  And uh, you know, I'm here in DC.
• 36:07
  I'm supposed to put two more of those
• 36:09
  banners in Dallas, but those people are dragging
• 36:11
  their feet now.
• 36:13
  So we'll see if it actually happens.
• 36:15
  But I'm here in DC now.
• 36:16
  I'm gonna wander the national mall looking for
• 36:18
  divine appointments, and and I'm just basically saying,
• 36:21
  you know, here I am, God, send me,
• 36:23
  send me to the right people you want
• 36:25
  me to meet today.
• 36:28
  Amen.
• 36:28
  Amen.
• 36:30
  I I have to say, you know, this
• 36:33
  has been um truly eye-opening.
• 36:36
  And in our last segment, what I want
• 36:37
  to do is kind of take the banner
• 36:39
  apart a little bit.
• 36:40
  And and the reason why I want to
• 36:42
  do that is because it was really interesting
• 36:44
  in what people focused on when they were
• 36:46
  commenting on this Facebook post.
• 36:48
  And so um, in in the next segment,
• 36:50
  let's just kind of talk about that a
• 36:53
  little bit and how you know the way
• 36:55
  you put it together.
• 36:58
  Um I don't know if it was intentional
• 37:00
  or not, so we're gonna find out.
• 37:02
  Um, but stay tuned, we'll be in our
• 37:04
  next segment in just a few minutes, and
• 37:07
  just remember to tell your friends and and
• 37:09

  Sprite can be found online and at all

  fine natural retailers.
• 39:08
  And we are back in our final segment
• 39:10
  with Mr.
• 39:13
  Human Khalili.
• 39:15
  And this guy and I um literally met
• 39:17
  less than a month ago, and we are
• 39:20
  already causing tidal waves.
• 39:22
  We're getting rid of we made a tidal
• 39:24
  wave.
• 39:26
  And so um Human is instrumental in um
• 39:30
  doing homages to people of um of terrorist
• 39:34
  um victim.
• 39:38
  I I guess you would call them terrorist
• 39:39
  victims.
• 39:39
  You know, these are these are um it
• 39:43
  started out with women who were exposing their
• 39:46
  hair in a Muslim country and were killed.
• 39:49
  Um, you know, that is part of their
• 39:51
  Sharia law.
• 39:53
  And I know that there's now in the
• 39:56
  upcoming political climate here in Texas, there's a
• 39:59
  lot of emphasis about Sharia law and what
• 40:01
  it is, and what does this mean for
• 40:04
  Texas and parts of Texas?
• 40:07
  Um, and so on top of that, you
• 40:10
  know, we have this banner that shows uh
• 40:13
  the the kids that were killed by Hezbollah
• 40:16
  and on both sides of the borders, so
• 40:20
  it doesn't really matter where you live or
• 40:23
  or you know what your um perspective may
• 40:26
  be because you may not have a perspective,
• 40:29
  which is okay.
• 40:32
  Uh, this may be your first exposure, but
• 40:35
  I want to take apart the the banner
• 40:37
  a little bit because of course in the
• 40:39
  comments, um, you had people flying from all
• 40:41
  different areas.
• 40:44
  Like one was let's address the Islamophobia.
• 40:47
  Um, is this banner Islamophobic?
• 40:53
  So I want to say something about that
• 40:57
  word becauselamophobic has a very specific definition.
• 41:02
  So if we're to be specific with the
• 41:05
  way we define it and not use our
• 41:07
  feelings, but actually use truth and logic, the
• 41:09
  word phobia means to be scared of something
• 41:12
  you do not know, to be scared of
• 41:14
  something you do not understand.
• 41:17
  That's what phobia means.
• 41:19
  And so I was born Muslim.
• 41:24
  Okay.
• 41:25
  If there's anyone who knows Islam, it's me.
• 41:28
  I know the Quran, I understand the teachings
• 41:31
  of Muhammad, I know.
• 41:34
  So, first of all, if I'm in this
• 41:37
  case, it's not even that I'm scared.
• 41:41
  I'm warning you of something that is trying
• 41:43
  to infiltrate America.
• 41:48
  Now, whenever a Muslim comes to me and
• 41:51
  says, Hey, this isn't Islam, and you know,
• 41:55
  you're this feels Islamophobic to me, I say
• 41:59
  to them, are you speaking out against what
• 42:00
  To me, I say to them, are you
• 42:02
  speaking out against what the Islamic regime is
• 42:02
  the Islamic regime is doing?
• 42:04
  doing?
• 42:06
  You being a Muslim man or woman, are
• 42:06
  You being a Muslim man or woman, are
• 42:08
  you using your voice to say this is
• 42:08
  you using your voice to say this is
• 42:09
  not Islam?
• 42:09
  not Islam?
• 42:11
  Are you doing that?
• 42:11
  Are you doing that?
• 42:12
  Is anyone in your community doing that?
• 42:12
  Is anyone in your community doing that?
• 42:15
  Is the state of Saudi Arabia doing that?
• 42:15
  Is the state of Saudi Arabia doing that?
• 42:18
  Is anyone saying this is not Islam publicly?
• 42:18
  Is anyone saying this is not Islam publicly?
• 42:22
  Or are you just saying it privately?
• 42:22
  Or are you just saying it privately?
• 42:23
  And 100% of the time they'll say we
• 42:23
  And 100% of the time they'll say, we
• 42:26
  won't post against the Islamic regime.
• 42:26
  won't post against the Islamic regime.
• 42:29
  I say, okay then.
• 42:29
  I say, okay, then I'm gonna post against
• 42:31
  the Islamic regime, and I'm going to tell
• 42:34
  the world that their interpretation of Sharia law
• 42:37
  is we can kill women for showing their
• 42:40
  hair, we can blind women for showing their
• 42:43
  hair, and we can shoot their children because
• 42:46
  it was you know, they just had a
• 42:49
  press conference in Iran, and the man said
• 42:52
  if your child speaks against the Islamic regime
• 42:55
  in school, we will kill them.
• 43:00
  These people are 100% telling you who they
• 43:01
  are.
• 43:04
  So believe them.
• 43:06
  Right.
• 43:07
  So I guess what I'm saying to anybody
• 43:10
  is it's it doesn't work when you say
• 43:13
  a former Muslim is Islamophobic.
• 43:18
  There's one thing, it's Islamic trauma.
• 43:22
  Every single one of us who was born
• 43:24
  Muslim is traumatized to this day, and we
• 43:26
  don't want the rest of you to be
• 43:28
  traumatized as well.
• 43:33
  What about so that was one side of
• 43:36
  it, and that was actually the original post
• 43:39
  was how Islamophobic the banner was, and one
• 43:42
  of my responses in one of them was
• 43:44
  that this was made by an Iranian man.
• 43:48
  So um, right, you you know, I think
• 43:50
  you need to um check out my radio
• 43:52
  podcast.
• 43:55
  And I actually posted uh where they could
• 43:57
  find my podcast in in the comments because
• 43:59
  I think it's important.
• 44:01
  I mean, it's one thing to be a
• 44:04
  be a keyboard warrior, but it's another thing
• 44:06
  to actually educate yourself, and you know, the
• 44:09
  hardest, I think the hardest two words in
• 44:12
  the English language, honestly, is I'm sorry.
• 44:15
  It's the hardest language.
• 44:16
  Um, it's the hardest two words in the
• 44:19
  English language, and and I'm sorry, I didn't
• 44:21
  know, or I'm sorry, I didn't understand.
• 44:23
  I'm sorry, I didn't realize.
• 44:25
  I'm you know, like, and it's not even
• 44:28
  about forgiveness, like I don't have any um
• 44:30
  ill will towards anyone that came out against
• 44:33
  this, honestly.
• 44:36
  I don't.
• 44:36
  I I mean I rack it up as
• 44:38
  you know, a little more education maybe warranted,
• 44:40
  which is why I posted where they could
• 44:42
  find the podcast.
• 44:44
  And um, on top of that, it it
• 44:47
  was more um, it became kind of like
• 44:50
  an algorithm for lack of better term.
• 44:54
  Like some people focused so much on President
• 44:57
  Trump and his face, right?
• 45:00
  And it became well, the US military strikes
• 45:04
  struck a school that killed 140 kids, okay.
• 45:08
  Um they're in the middle of a war,
• 45:10
  people.
• 45:13
  I mean, I'm not really sure.
• 45:15
  We know for a fact, and you could
• 45:18
  speak to this better than I can, is
• 45:21
  that in certain uh situations in certain terrorist
• 45:24
  communities, they shield themselves with children and women,
• 45:27
  they do is this not true?
• 45:30
  I mean, I distinctly remember when Osama bin
• 45:33
  Lama uh Osama bin Laden was found, he
• 45:36
  was hiding behind one of his wives.
• 45:40
  He threw her in front of him because
• 45:43
  Americans have a different perspective on the treatment
• 45:46
  of women and children and life in general,
• 45:49
  you know.
• 45:53
  I I mean uh that's another thing, right?
• 45:55
  It's like you have to have some kind
• 45:59
  of value in just life in order to
• 46:03
  even understand why they are using that against
• 46:06
  us, which it sounds so basic, but can
• 46:10
  you kind of uh go down that line
• 46:14
  a little bit about what is happening about
• 46:18
  the what how do they value life?
• 46:21
  Like what do they actually think of?
• 46:26
  Well, in the Islamic faith, um, you know,
• 46:29
  a woman's life is valued far less than
• 46:32
  a man's.
• 46:35
  I mean, even her testimony in court is
• 46:37
  like what is it, like a third or
• 46:40
  a half of what a man would say.
• 46:43
  And you know, a woman cannot divorce a
• 46:45
  man, a man can only divorce a woman.
• 46:48
  So and then if you like look up
• 46:52
  some, you know, extreme um mullahs speaking about
• 46:55
  women and their role and who they are.
• 46:59
  I mean, look, a man can have up
• 47:00
  to four wives.
• 47:02
  How many husbands can a woman have?
• 47:05
  One.
• 47:06
  So I mean that that tells you right
• 47:09
  then and there at the very least.
• 47:13
  Sorry, I'm in an elevator, by the way.
• 47:14
  If I if I cut off for a
• 47:18
  second, uh but yeah, so that the woman's
• 47:21
  life in the Islamic faith is far, far
• 47:25
  less.
• 47:30
  I don't know, does that sort of clarify
• 47:31
  it?
• 47:35
  Yeah, I mean, I think a lot of
• 47:38
  people do not understand that um one hundred
• 47:41
  like there is no for lack of better
• 47:44
  term, there's no will of a woman in
• 47:47
  a Muslim marriage or in a Muslim relationship
• 47:50
  or Muslim, you know, like that woman is
• 47:53
  is has a purpose.
• 47:57
  Um, but their value is only attached to
• 48:00
  that particular purpose.
• 48:03
  Am I agreeing on that?
• 48:05
  Yeah, no, you're absolutely right.
• 48:07
  Uh well, look, let me just put it
• 48:09
  this way.
• 48:11
  Right now, when you think of like the
• 48:13
  strength of a woman, the courage of a
• 48:15
  woman, like everyone, just look at the doctor
• 48:17
  I'm speaking to.
• 48:20
  The reason this banner is up is because
• 48:22
  she saw it, her heart melted for the
• 48:24
  children, and she said, if you need a
• 48:26
  building, choose my building.
• 48:29
  Like that, that a moment like that, I
• 48:31
  just don't see that happening in like the
• 48:33
  Islamic faith at all.
• 48:36
  And so you just never really see moments
• 48:39
  like this, you never really um have times
• 48:42
  where you've got these like you might have
• 48:45
  it every once in a while in the
• 48:47
  UAE, but to this day, I tried to
• 48:50
  get a banner in the UAE, and they
• 48:53
  said no.
• 48:56
  They said you cannot put up a mural
• 48:58
  with a woman's hair showing here.
• 49:01
  So I'll just say uh everyone talks a
• 49:01
  So I'll just say uh everyone talks a
• 49:04
  big game privately, but publicly there are very
• 49:05
  big game privately, but publicly there are very
• 49:07
  few Dr.
• 49:10
  few doctor answers in the Islamic faith.
• 49:11
  Angus in the Islamic faith.
• 49:15
  Yeah.
• 49:15
  Yeah, what about with the you know, I
• 49:15
  What about with the, you know, I I
• 49:17
  I understand, you know, you and I have
• 49:17
  understand, you know, you and I have talked
• 49:19
  talked about this, so I understand this, but
• 49:20
  about this, so I understand this, but let's
• 49:22
  let's let's try to get the listeners to
• 49:22
  let's try to get the listeners to kind
• 49:24
  kind of envision this and understand this.
• 49:24
  of envision this and understand this.
• 49:26
  So for instance, do you know the circumstances
• 49:26
  So, for instance, do you know the circumstances
• 49:28
  around?
• 49:29
  around the woman who you have depicted as
• 49:32
  the referee who is the female soccer player
• 49:35
  that was killed in January?
• 49:38
  What's her story?
• 49:40
  Right.
• 49:41
  So you know, the crown prince of Iran,
• 49:45
  he uh he asked the people of of
• 49:49
  Iran to rise up, and they did.
• 49:53
  He also knew that these people did not
• 49:56
  have any guns, and that they would be
• 49:59
  um very vulnerable, and so it took tremendous
• 50:02
  courage for the people to rise up in
• 50:05
  the streets without guns.
• 50:09
  And uh she was one of the ones.
• 50:13
  She was on the women's soccer team, and
• 50:16
  uh the opportunity came for her to walk
• 50:20
  peacefully in the streets along with you know
• 50:23
  hundreds of thousands of other Iranians.
• 50:27
  The Islamic regime realized that the soldiers, the
• 50:31
  Iranian soldiers don't want to kill their own
• 50:34
  people, so they import mercenaries from Lebanon and
• 50:37
  Afghanistan and Iraq, Syria.
• 50:41
  They give them machine guns and they say,
• 50:43
  shoot as many Iranians as you can.
• 50:46
  And she was one of the ones who
• 50:48
  ended up being shot.
• 50:52
  Now, this is this by the way, is
• 50:55
  what Americans don't understand.
• 50:58
  They don't understand that this was a peaceful
• 50:59
  protest.
• 51:00
  This was just people walking down a street,
• 51:02
  and a lot of them walking down the
• 51:04
  street.
• 51:06
  This is not this was not a few
• 51:09
  hundred people, this was thousands of people.
• 51:13
  Hundreds of thousands, yeah.
• 51:15
  And this is not the first athlete to
• 51:20
  um to be taken by this regime either.
• 51:25
  Right.
• 51:27
  Oh, no.
• 51:28
  I mean there's been stories of a couple
• 51:30
  Olympians I believe they were Olympians recently.
• 51:33
  Yeah.
• 51:34
  No, they're they're and you know, one of
• 51:37
  the biggest problems is the United Nations.
• 51:40
  The United Nations keeps giving Iran, the Islamic
• 51:44
  regime of Iran, you know, all these really
• 51:48
  really important posts within the UN for human
• 51:51
  rights and women's rights and stuff like that.
• 51:56
  So the it's it's one of these moments
• 52:00
  where people are literally calling um, you know
• 52:03
  that that which is evil good, and they're
• 52:07
  calling that which is good evil, like that's
• 52:10
  happening right now in front of our house.
• 52:14
  Which is also biblical, and we have to
• 52:16
  very biblical.
• 52:18
  So the uh that was that was another
• 52:22
  part of the um poster, you know, that
• 52:25
  got people's buyers up, you know, that they
• 52:28
  were saying that President Trump is not doing
• 52:32
  anything to stop the war or anything to
• 52:35
  um you know make any of this situation
• 52:39
  better.
• 52:42
  And and you're coming from that culture and
• 52:45
  you're coming from that um, you know, you
• 52:47
  have a different perspective, and I'm sure you
• 52:50
  have a different perspective as a naturalized citizen
• 52:52
  of the United States from such an area.
• 52:55
  What did you what would you how do
• 52:59
  you explain that to people well?
• 53:03
  I think as Americans, uh there's there's a
• 53:07
  thing we have to sort of deal with,
• 53:11
  which is this Trump derangement syndrome.
• 53:16
  Like just like you got a ton of
• 53:17
  hate for putting the banner up.
• 53:19
  I got a ton of hate for just
• 53:22
  putting Trump's picture in the mural.
• 53:24
  I was sitting with a Christian man last
• 53:26
  night who voted for Trump, and the man
• 53:28
  was virtually screaming at me for putting Trump's
• 53:31
  picture in the banner.
• 53:33
  It got so heated with the man last
• 53:35
  night that I actually had to look at
• 53:37
  him and say, I don't really need your
• 53:39
  opinion on the art.
• 53:42
  If you want to help me, help me.
• 53:44
  And if you don't want to help me,
• 53:45
  don't help me.
• 53:47
  And the man looked at me, he said,
• 53:49
  boy, Satan's really attacking you.
• 53:54
  Attacking you, yeah, yeah.
• 53:57
  He's attacking you, and now you're attacking me.
• 53:59
  This is what this man said to me
• 54:00
  last night.
• 54:02
  The other thing is Iran is very complicated,
• 54:06
  it's a very complex set of circumstances, and
• 54:11
  Trump, I think is trying to balance out
• 54:15
  the entire Middle East and figure out a
• 54:19
  way of giving the Iranians some sort of
• 54:24
  future, and so this isn't like Venezuela, where
• 54:28
  if you attack virtually no one cares.
• 54:33
  Costa Rica will never come to the aid
• 54:35
  of Venezuela, Brazil will never, you know what
• 54:36
  I'm saying?
• 54:39
  But with the Islamic regime of Iran, there's
• 54:41
  a lot of circumstances.
• 54:44
  Trump has to deal with Mohammed bin Salman,
• 54:48
  he has to deal with the leaders of
• 54:51
  the UAE and Qatar, and so there's there's
• 54:54
  a lot more going on than even I
• 54:57
  understand, and I follow this, you know, daily.
• 55:13
  But the truth is none of us have
• 55:15
  any idea how this is gonna play out.
• 55:18
  I just hope one of the things that
• 55:21
  every American needs to really understand is Israel
• 55:24
  and America have killed the 50 highest leaders
• 55:26
  in Iran.
• 55:29
  50, 5-0.
• 55:32
  And the Islamic regime that the snake is
• 55:34
  still able to work and operate.
• 55:37
  You kill 50 highest leaders in any country,
• 55:39
  maybe even the United States, the country's not
• 55:41
  going to be able to operate.
• 55:44
  But for some reason, the Islamic, and so
• 55:46
  the rumor is there's 100 more that need
• 55:49
  to be taken out before the Islamic regime
• 55:52
  collapses.
• 55:54
  This is how difficult and complicated this set
• 55:57
  of circumstances are.
• 56:00
  So Trump and Netanyahu have done a lot,
• 56:03
  but unfortunately, there's a lot more to do.
• 56:07
  Well, sure.
• 56:08
  This isn't this isn't gonna be the end
• 56:08
  This isn't this isn't going to be the
• 56:10
  of the story, I know.
• 56:10
  end of this story, I know.
• 56:12
  And I thank you so much.
• 56:12
  And I thank you so much.
• 56:13

• 56:15

• 56:15

• 56:17

• 56:17
