It's time! From Newport Beach, California, the sun is shining, the beaches are packed, and the waves are rolling in. All while the Lastgate Conservative prepares to share more truth with America. He's America's binary brother, the holiest homo, and the gayest conservative of all time, working to restore common sense conservative politics in the American household. Welcome to the Lastgate Conservative Podcast. Here's your host, Tad Law.

Hello, America, and welcome back to another episode of the Last Gay Conservative Podcast. I'm your host, Chad Law, America's binary brother, the holiest homo and the gayest conservative of all time, spreading truth on the airwaves on the only rainbow that matters, the red, white, and blue rainbow. Don't forget, I love hearing from you. 866 Last Gay is the phone number. That's 866 LastGay. Send me a text, call, leave a message on the voicemail line, and if that's too much for you, just go to the episode description wherever you're listening now. The first thing is a link that says text the show. Click it and let me have it. I love hearing from you. For today's episode, I want to follow up with some of the questions and feedback we got responding to my Monday monologue about legal and illegal immigration. We had some great questions, points made, and I want to address them to ensure that everything that you get out of this show is clear, concise, and helps you win your war against the woke left crazy Democrat liberals out there that are infecting your school boards, your HOAs, your neighborhoods, and in some cases your families. Furthermore, Iran is having some major civil unrest. Here we have another opportunity, I believe, for regime change in Iran. And I want to talk about my stance on that, as I know it's largely different from most of my conservative colleagues. I believe Iran needs a regime change. I believe we can help in that. I also understand the reluctance because George W. Bush's foreign policy destroyed any American confidence in our ability to do the right thing. I get it. However, the people of Iran are speaking, and it's very important that their cries don't fall on deaf ears. This will also inspire other uprisings to avoid us having to take military action in the future in places like Venezuela and China. As the new Red Bloc that Biden essentially created with his foreign policy, with Russia returning Nord Stream 2 to Russia, removing sanctions from Iran, and giving China all the green technology, the exclusive access to rare earth minerals, the red bloc became so strong that it posed a massive threat. We now have the ability to chip away at the power of that block. BRICS is pretty much gone. However, by helping Iran become less oppressive and more modern, by removing the evil Ayatollahs and supporting the people of Iran, we can restabilize the region and do a lot of good. I believe the same applies to Venezuela, but it's about us providing the right support to the people, not getting involved in these political pissing matches that are merely ideological roundtable conversations that never end up getting anything done. On top of that, interesting story out of California. Turns out Gavin Newsom, who had the gall to come to Washington, D.C. and call out Trump for building his own, quote, personal Versailles, even though he's using no taxpayer dollars and private funds to increase the size and overall appeal of the White House. The holiday season was a perfect example where several state dinners, events, and holiday parties had to turn away many, many influential guests because there was merely no space to host the events. It's important, and none of us are paying for it. So who really cares? Well, Gavin Newsom really cared, comes to find out. There is a secret California state building that he's supported, budgeted for, spending billions of taxpayer dollars that creates secret hallways, anti-presses, private meeting rooms, and all sorts of other things for public policy, for things that are supported by taxpayers, but that no one knows what's really going on. Every single person, come to find out, from the janitor to the head of the project, has signed a multi-page NDA that essentially tells them that they're going to take everything from them if they say one thing about this project to the media. Typical Democrat fashion, blame point while doing something 10 times worse, more destructive and fraudulent in your own backyard. All that and more when we come back after these words. Hey folks, thank you so much for all the compliments about how great I look on camera. I know I joke about uh my appearance, but I do appreciate the compliments and the positive feedback. It helps me going. Most of you are asking about my suits. Twillery is a new men's apparel company that specializes in something called the air suit. That's what you see me wearing on screen. It looks, as you see, like an Italian custom tailored suit, but it's made out of like a Lululemon athleisure material. It's breathable, it's 100% machine washable. Each piece has all kinds of cool little features like uh rough elastic around the inside of the waistband to help your dress shirt stay tucked in. Honestly, folks, half the time I don't know if I'm wearing a suit or my Lululemons to go to the gym. These suits are so comfortable, so easy to wear, and so easy to maintain. There's no excuse not to dress up every day. I wear their airsuit, I wear their performance blazer, and I also wear their dress shirts. Do yourselves a favor, guys, or women who want to get the best gift you can to make your man feel as good and look as good as he possibly can. Go to twillery.com. It's t-w-i-l-l-o-r-y.com. Check out the airsuit, and guess what? They're really cheap too. Don't forget to let them know the last gay conservative sent you at checkout. Welcome back, America. Let's talk a little bit more about immigration. I opened the conversation yesterday when I did a monologue about how the importance of where and how we place immigrants is just as important as the immigrants themselves. This was in response to major anti-Muslim, anti-Islam Islam bans being shouted from the rooftops from many of these neo-fascist conservative influencers who seem to think that solutions to everything is blaming large groups: Jews, Muslims, Democrats, Republicans, whatever it is. I believe that's largely anti-American. When I talk about illegal and legal immigration, many of you pointed out that the Somalis, many of the Somalis who committed fraud and are criminals, were brought in legally through resettlement programs, like I talked about. But let me make something very clear. Those resettlement programs were never true American resettlement programs, and they were never true American immigration programs. These programs were European secular style replacement, where all we simply did was move pulses from one part of the world to the other. There was no support, there was no community involvement, and there was especially no tracking, accountability, or progress on integration and assimilation. We know that modern immigration, this way, this European-style immigration, is merely by a vote methods from Democrats, because they understand that the immigration that works doesn't help them. True legal American-style integration that involves the community, churches, spiritual groups, local nonprofits, as well as all neighboring businesses actually works. That's why in Republican states like Texas, Arizona, Nebraska, and Iowa, where they have large groups of Somalis, Iraqis, Yemenis, and Syrians, don't see large-scale fraud. Many of these people sit on school boards. Many of these people own small businesses. And most importantly, most of these people align with conservatives a lot more than you would think. I think I mentioned yesterday in my monologue, actually, that I recently relocated to Scottsdale. In the Phoenix area, I learned randomly by finding a new barber that happened to be an Iraqi refugee that there are 20,000 Iraqis or so in the Phoenix metro area that are largely resettled here from Bush 1.0 and 2.0's Middle Eastern Nightmares. They're a fantastic part of the community here in Phoenix. They bring diversity, culture, they're integrated, they speak English. Many of them hang the American flag in their small businesses. And the difference between what you see here and what you see in St. Cloud, Minnesota is incredible. I believe that's largely because of the way these people were resettled here and where they were resettled. First of all, Arizona is a law and order state, always has been. These people understood coming in that if they broke the law, they stole, they committed fraud, Arizona wasn't gonna take it lightly. They understood that. Minnesota's never been a law and order state, it's always been a free-for-all state. And fraud has been rampant in the DNC nightmare of St. Paul for many, many years, way before Somali residents were even in Minnesota. I'm not excusing the fraudulent behavior, but what I'm saying is that we can't blame all the Somali immigrants for fraud, demand all this mass deportation, when in actuality, it's just as much the fault of the system that allowed it to happen. And it will continue to happen, whether it's Somalis, whites, blacks, Mexicans, Chinese, it doesn't matter until we actually fix the system itself that allowed this to happen. That system never existed in Texas. That system never existed in Arizona, it never existed in Iowa or Nebraska. So I think sometimes we're misguided in what we're blaming and what we're looking at. Are these criminals deserving to be punished? Yes. And sent home, yes. If you're found of actually committing fraud, that's true. But being Somali doesn't mean that you're a fraudster. And I think it's very important that we make that clear. The other thing about immigration that I think we're missing the point on is that we can continually focus on the immigrant, but unless we focus on the people, places, and things that help facilitate illegal immigration, it will continue to happen. I don't care how closed the border is, humans will find a way to cheat the system. Perfect example. ICE did raids in Camarillo, California, Ventura County. That's actually where I went to high school. On some of the legal cannabis farms, they found several criminal, re-enter, rotating door illegal aliens, as well as teenagers working illegally for below minimum wage. What happened to the farm owners? What happened to the business? They shouldn't be in operation anymore. You hire kids, you hire illegals, you have no right to do business in this country. Period. If we don't go after the people who are facilitating this slave labor, this backdoor labor market, it will continue to happen. And just like we imported Chinese for the railroads in the 1800s, we've imported largely Mexicans and Central Americans to help support agriculture, construction, and food industries in this country, it will continue to happen because the greedy folks in those industries have learned how to import cheap labor in order to pad their own pocket, which in return tethers and waters the entire labor market for all the other Americans, forcing them to earn way less than they deserve. Just the mathematics of how it works. But again, you can deport everyone you want, and that's okay. And they are deservingly being deported. I'm not against deportation, but what I'm against is trying to solve a problem without looking at the all the culprits involved. These people would never come over if there weren't jobs available for them to take. These people would never come over if there weren't social services for them to apply for and receive. For those of you who say the Somalis are illegal immigrants and they're still causing the same sort of destruction that the illegal immigration has. You're right. Because they were treated and handled as if they were illegal. They just happened to be given asylum status. But they were put in a secular environment to speak their own language, to do their own thing, with no expectations of employment, education, training. And guess what happened? What we're seeing today is the manifestation, the summary, the results of secular European-style immigration. That's not real immigration. That's not real legal immigration. Because then this opens up the whole other conversation about H1Bs and agriculture workers, etc. And we do have labor needs in this country that have to be addressed internationally, globally. Unfortunately, we're behind the times when it comes to educating our youth on tech. In India, they start coding and software programming in the seventh grade. In China, they're learning calculus and fifth and sixth grade. Here, they're learning how to do dream collages and about the 1619 project. And they're taught about how their gender is fluid and they can do whatever they want with their genitals. Meanwhile, there's other countries that have actual technical skill training going on, and then people cry when they come over and take jobs. Well, that is our fault. And we must find the solution within ourselves, within our education, within our other newer, more modern immigration programs. I mean, these folks that have come over that have been working here for many years and uh have contributed, they don't necessarily deserve to be deported. However, they didn't follow the system, and I hope we can find a way to fast track them back into this country. Those people should self-deport, get a clean immigration record, and hopefully Trump will follow through with making legal immigration more available, accessible to all levels of people from around the world. Not to mention, we should still continue to resettle people from other places that are affected by things like famine, national, natural disaster, dictatorship, human rights violations, etc. I also live in Orange County, California, Newport Beach. There's a small community, well, it's actually a very large community, of Vietnamese immigrants in a small city called Garden Grove or Westminster. It's probably the largest Vietnamese population per capita other than Saigon. I don't know that for a fact, but I'm saying. They are all small business owners, heavily involved in the community. We have Vietnamese representation now in Congress. Many of these people were trained, if you notice, many Vietnamese people are in the beauty industry. Many of them were given the ability to go to trade schools to learn English and support their families. There hasn't been any problems. There's no major fraud, there's no mass crime. And I also think it's very important to recognize that most of the crime, most of the problems that are tied to immigration generally come from the second and third generations of immigrants and not the original immigrant themselves. Perfect example we see in California. Many people immigrate from Mexico. They come up, they take hard jobs that no one else wants for lower pay. That's very important that I always note when people say, well, Americans won't take those jobs. No, they won't take those jobs for$10 an hour, but they'll take them for$20 an hour. They'll take a job that pays fair for the amount of effort, skill, and energy required. Period. Companies need to pay fairly if they want American workers. Period. And if they want to talk about cost, how it's too expensive and they can't compete, then maybe they shouldn't be in business. Or maybe this is a much bigger conversation. The point is that millions of Mexican illegal immigrants have come across the border into California. The entire California service industry is supported by illegal immigration and Mexican immigrants. None of those that cross the border to come over and work for better opportunities for their families have been major criminals. I shouldn't say none, most. However, when their children are born and they speak Spanish at home and English at school and they don't have a real strong sense of who they are, where they come from. Are they American? Are they Mexican? That generally encourages and creates the environment for gang membership, crime, theft, fraud, waste, and everything else. I would love to know how many of these Somalis that are going to jail, that are being tried, are first generation, second or third generation in this country. The other thing we have to remember is that many of these people didn't necessarily want to be moved. They were moved out of their own desire. Elon Omar's a perfect example. She talks about it all the time. She was excited, she thought she was excited to come here, and then she got here, and America's the most disappointing, biggest piece of crap place she's ever seen in her life. It's essentially what she says every single day. I guess the point that I'm trying to make for you folks is that when I talk about illegal and legal immigration, I talk about legal immigration working and being a proponent of it. I'm talking about an effective assimilation, integration first strategy that brings new people and enriches the diversity and the culture that's historically been the reason why this country has been so successful. But we can't go around blaming large groups of people for our problems. And we certainly can't remove people without removing or disbarring or stopping the people, places, and things that are involved in facilitating this illegal immigration. I mean, Trump has got to crack down on these companies, on these industries. And they he's got to crack down on these governments. Governments that allow this stuff to happen because it's just all manifestations of greed, power, party first, and putting your own personal worth, wealth, and ideals above the greater good. That's all it is. And until those people see punishment, and until those people are held accountable, we're not gonna see the results that we want to see. We also need to rapidly expand legal immigration as we are working on deporting and cleaning up the criminal illegal immigration that's happened over the last two decades. But we have to expand legal immigration, and I know they're doing that, but they need to do it more. You know, a perfect concept for me would have been instead of these people that are working the fields and agriculture, et cetera, set up legal transfer stations instead of sending them back and then waiting for them to come back in legally if the labor desire is really there and it would really have been detrimental to let them go. Well, come to find out it hasn't been detrimental. There is no rotting vegetables, there's no rotting food. And the food companies, the agricultural companies and the construction companies seem to be faring just fine. However, at the time, I wouldn't have been opposed to conducting on-site interviews and transferring people from illegal status to legal status who can prove that they're not criminals, they've paid taxes and they have jobs. Unfortunately, due to the level, the rapid increase in immigration and the non-traditional immigrants that came through under Biden, that's not possible. But before it would have been, before we were dealing with largely Hispanic people coming from Mexico and Central America to come over and work to have a better opportunity for their family. That changed under Biden when it became a free-for-all. When social programs, when they changed the nomenclature to social programs to include asylum seekers, when they opened up the borders for parolees and asylum seekers from any country, anytime, including the Middle East, China, and all over the world. So when we're arresting these people, they're not just Mexican gardeners like Debbie Wasserman Schultz or everyone else wants you to think. No, we're seeing huge numbers of young 20-some Chinese men with no families, Arabs, same thing. Venezuelan gang members, prisoners that have already been in prison in countries like El Salvador and Venezuela coming across the border. That wasn't happening before because they largely had no incentive, and because Russia and China didn't need to create as much civil unrest as they're doing using Venezuelan drugs, using fentanyl, using all the things that they're doing now to create unrest and destabilize our democracy. They hadn't been doing that prior. But all of that came to a head under Biden. And now, unfortunately, the more humane, safe, and responsible ways of handling this are largely out the window because of the levels of immigration that happened and the non-traditional immigrants that have come through. That's my take on it. We have to cut the head off at the snake, address the root cause. And Marjorie Taylor Green is a perfect example. She's an employer, Green Construction, who's come out and said, You're taking away my labor by doing these deportations. That's why she's so angry at Trump and MAGA. Because her personal wealth has been affected by the deportations. That is someone who should be largely fined. And if continually found to employ slaves, basically, employ slave labor from other countries that are willing to work below the poverty line. If you're found to be a repeat offender, you should go to jail. Because essentially what you're doing is you're taking food, money, education, and opportunity away from other hardworking, taxpaying Americans that have been in line for a lot longer, but you're also completely manipulating the labor market and causing an affordability crisis by keeping millions of people employed for under the poverty line, which again destabilizes, waters down, and tethers regular salaries to those numbers. Everything is relative from the top to the bottom. So, no, it's not just about the immigrant, it's about where we place them in conservative integration, assimilation first areas. It's about how we place them, not secularly in the suburbs by themselves, with a hope and a prayer that they'll assimilate. All right, so speaking of this Somali stuff, there's a big reason why I haven't talked about it, and I've said it a million times. Why? Nick Shirley is incredible. This is his deal. He's exposed it. He's the reason why all of this is becoming more and more exposed, and he's got a direct line to the president. So I don't need to add anything. He's already doing an incredible job. However, I thought this was really interesting. Haley Gomez of the Daily Caller News Foundation wrote a great article about the discovery of several uh factors or several items of St. Cloud and Minnesota State residents going to their GOP leadership and saying, whoa, the way we're handling this immigration doesn't seem right. So Haley Gomez found an audio clip from a show that was resurfaced called This American Life, where Minnesota voters were concerned about Somali immigration long before this fraud and this controversy that we're hearing today. She goes on to say in an episode that aired in October of 2016, journalist Zoe Chase narrated portions of the story, including reflections on a July 2015 town hall event at Ace's Bar in downtown St. Cloud, describing the room as packed. Chase said one constituent told Emmer that he believed most people in the bar are here to find out how he, Emmer, feels about the assimilation of these Somali immigrants. Minnesotans, apparently, for years in 2014, 15, and 16, have recorded letters, phone calls, meetings, town halls with then House Majority whip Tom Emmer. This is exactly the stuff that I've been talking about since Trump came on to the scene in 2016. Before that, Republicans and Democrats were the same uniparty boobs that were more concerned with enriching themselves personally than they were over the American people. They largely sold us out to China, to the Middle East, created dependencies on foreign terrorist states instead of embracing domestic production and maintaining Reagan's supply side economics. No, they sold us out. They were all globalists, and this is what I call the Uniparty. That's why for years I didn't I said, No, I'm not a Republican, I'm not a Paul Ryan or Tom Emmer. This is another Uniparty boob who just went along with consensus and the political feeling of the day and ignored all of his constituents. The recording says, someone says, we didn't ask for these Somalis. Nobody asked us if we in St. Cloud want those Somalis. And we understand that social groups like the Lutheran Social Services and Catholic charities, they're dumping them in areas like St. Cloud. This again is a recording of a town hall at this ACEs bar with Tom Emmer, a representative from Minnesota, who's just ignoring the constituents. Goes on to say data from the 2024 Census Bureau's American Community Survey shows that roughly 107,000 live in Minnesota, with 58 being born in the U.S. and 87% naturalized U.S. citizens. Minneapolis has the state's largest Somali population, with about 84,000 residents of Somali descent, followed by Hennepin County with roughly 50,000, the outlet reported. In December, an estimated total of$9 billion in fraud was reported across 14 Medicaid services in Minnesota, according to CBS News. Over 90% of those charged in the massive fraud case were of Somali descent. Again, descent. Most of these people were probably born here. Okay, it's generally not the immigrant. It's the children of the immigrants that have the problems, especially children of immigrants in these secular environments that have no sense of self, culture, or belonging, because at home is a completely different world than what they're experiencing in public schools. This is was the explosion of gangs in California in the 1990s. Latino gangs like MS-13 was because of second and third generations of illegal aliens that came over for opportunities, created gangs, obviously, to deal with a lack of sense of self or whatever psychological issues you can tie to the crime and challenges that come out of the children and their children of these secular immigrants. In the recording, there's another area where you can hear a woman, Sue, saying, I think I speak for a lot of people. I think the city of St. Cloud needs a breather, and we need to assimilate with the people that are already here. Of course, Tom Emmer, representative from Minnesota, there for his constituents, supposedly, cut her off and says, What does that mean? What does that mean? She said, I'm suggesting a brief moratorium on Somali immigration into St. Cloud while we assimilate the people that are already there. As they're just loading them and loading them and loading them. The reason why Democrats love these secular places is because they can use social services to buy their votes and control them. This doesn't happen to assimilated populations. That's why when you look at the 20,000 Iraqis in Phoenix, half of them are Democrat, half of them are registered Republican. Voting patterns change. When they become independent, they no longer depend on social services. Generally, when that dependency decreases and then people become more self-reliant, their voting patterns change. The Democrats do everything they can to stop that from happening. If they keep them closed, secular, and European style enclaves, they can keep the social services flowing, the dollars going, and the votes coming. That's all it is. It's just a power play at the detriment of everyone around them, including the immigrants themselves, who now have to face a slew of challenges in response to their friends and families or uh neighbors or whomever fellow immigrants committing mass amounts of fraud in a blatant act of disrespect against the country that welcomed them here. But the Democrats need to look at themselves, these cities need to look at themselves and understand that secular immigration, European secular-style immigration with no expectation of employment, education, training, or assimilation does not work. It creates segregated communities. It creates a lack of understanding. It creates a lack of respect. It creates more racism. However, it keeps them dependent on social services, which is how Democrats stay in power. And they use all sorts of things like NGOs, nonprofits, et cetera, to make sure that that happens. So when you're looking at immigration, it's easy for us to say, just stop it, let it go, put a stop to it, send them all home. But that's not a solution either. The solution is understanding and embracing the success stories and just cutting and pasting on repeat those success stories. It's the biggest problem with this country is that when we do something right, we're always looking to change it instead of trying to repeat it and improve over time. It's always gut, cut slash, try something else. And the Democrats love repeating and mimicking the European trends of the day, which throughout the 2010s and throughout the 2000s was largely putting North African immigrants in secular suburbs and expecting them to assimilate. And now their countries and their cities are unrecognizable. London looks like a Muslim refugee camp. Paris looks like a Muslim refugee camp. Minneapolis now looks like a Muslim refugee camp. And many parts of New York and Chicago look like Muslim and Islamic refugee camps. Because the Democrats did not embrace true American legal immigration. They used legal proceedings to give people legal status without any concern of integration and assimilation. Because again, when people immigrate, when people integrate, when they assimilate, they become independent, they become self-reliant, and their voting patterns change. It's all part of their ploy to make sure that they remain in power. I hope that gives you all the ammo and all the tools you need to explain real legal American immigration, why it's so important that we embrace and perpetuate legal immigration while controlling and stopping illegal immigration from happening at the source, not necessarily just the immigrant. You have to look at every piece of the pie, and we've largely ignored the employers, the governments, the nonprofits, the NGOs that have allowed these environments to be created for rampant fraud, crime, and everything else that's happening. Until that changes, we're just going to repeat it the same way we have since we imported hundreds of thousands of Chinese to help us build the railroads. It's the same stories on repeat since the 1800s. When we come back, we'll dive deep into Iran and the evil Ayatollahs. While people there are protesting for the third day in a row to end the oppression. Maybe they chew at their paws or have that icky brown color around their feet. Chances are your dog's having an allergic reaction to the kibble they're on. I've told you this a million times.

You can go on, or they have the best live human customer service I have ever experienced in an American company. Call the number, talk to someone, and they'll walk you through everything your pet needs. Most importantly, don't forget to let them know the last gay conservative sent you when you check out. He says protests over Iran's failing currency grew as they spread across Iran, increasing the pressure on a government already struggling with an economic crisis and shattered defenses after a war with Israel. The people of Iran have been in a mode of civil unrest in one shape or form or another since 1979. This is nothing new. However, this is what we see a lot in these dictatorship countries is that as economic conditions worsen, their fear of punishment for being dissenting opinions dissipates. And so now, even though civil unrest has occurred in Iran since the violent revolution in 1979, voices get louder, groups get bigger, and chants get longer when people are less afraid of violent retaliation because the economic conditions are so bad they've lost all hope. That's why when Joe Biden removed the sanctions from Iran and essentially allowed them a free flow of cash, civil enrist largely dissipated. Because again, not being able to feed your family takes priority over fear of violent retaliation when it comes to some of these terrorist regimes. The Ayatollahs are a perfect example. The article goes on to say footage posted on social media shows protests Monday at an upmarket mall near Tehran's sprawling bazaar. In one video, demonstrators can be heard chanting Azadi, the farsi word for freedom. Another shows security forces in riot gear confronting the protesters and firing tear gas. The footage was verified by Storyful, which is owned by News Corp, the parent company of the Wall Street Journal, so we know they're real. By late Monday, demonstrations were spreading across the capital and other parts of the country. Merchants were protesting in several areas and around the bazaar, and there were demonstrations in the Yaftbad district in West Tehran. Not going to read the whole article, but you essentially can see what's happening is that Trump's sanctions and economic pressure are causing the people now who would normally be afraid at home, locked in their rooms or locked in their apartments or locked in their condos, because dissenting opinions are met with violent retaliation, including flogging, killing, hanging in the streets, etc. And no, I'm not being dramatic. Not to mention the plethora of human rights violations that happen as they apply Sharia law, anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-freedom, to their citizens as well. Human rights violations are endless in Iran, contrary to Tucker Carlson and pro-Sharia law supporters. If you're found being gay or having gay sex in Iran, you will more than likely be jailed, killed, or flogged, depending on the level of the sex act and what they can prove. It's a scary place. But historically it's not. So back in June of 2025, I wrote an article called Persia's History Will Support Iran's Democracy. Why I I believe installing democracy in Iran will work and why we should attack now. This was when we were contemplating taking out their nuclear capabilities. I thought it was the perfect opportunity for us to go in and push for regime change. I believe the opportunity is still there, but the more time that passes, the less chances we have, and the higher chances it becomes another Afghanistan or Iraq 2.0 of endless death, military activity, and a large population of people that are largely dissatisfied with the even newer government and just continue that cycle. However, there are several things in play here, factors in play that we must consider when talking about regime change. One, Israel largely set us up for success. They were already winning the war. They already had Iran crippled to the point where we could come in, drop those giant bombs, and destroy their nuclear capabilities. That was one thing. Militarily, we had an opening. Okay, we didn't take it, but we had an opening in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and in other past endless sort of social engineering wars that came out of the Uniparty of the 90s and the 2000s, those failed foreign initiatives were largely because we were doing it ourselves and we had no pre-mitted military involvement or no preparation and no opening. We had to build the opening ourselves. In the case of Iran, Israel had already done it for us. What was happening was very unique at this time in June because militarily Israel had done a great job and was winning the war. Then diplomatically, Trump had aligned several other Arab nations, Arab leaders, including Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, to put pressure on Hamas to end the Hamas war. So the United States had these people diplomatically in our pocket. Israel had the region controlled militarily, which gave us a perfect opportunity to do what we needed to do. That's what I believed. I wrote here historically, many Middle Eastern countries have maintained control by relying on a strong Islamic base and eliminating non-believers. Nations like Iraq and Afghanistan have been governed by extremist Muslim leadership for centuries. In many cases, it may be best to allow these countries to self-destruct rather than continue our interventions. However, this perspective doesn't apply to Iran. Persia, now Iran, once occupied a central position in the world. Until 1956, Persia was a place where multiple faiths coexisted peacefully. Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived together for centuries. The extreme Islamic authoritarians haven't really led Iran that long. And the foundations of Persia's founding can still be seen throughout the country and with its people. But there's a huge population on the West Coast of Persian immigrants or Iranian immigrants. And they will tell you point blank that Iran is not another third world Middle Eastern country like Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan. Iran has a fully integrated university system. Higher education is the same level as ours. They have infrastructure. They have military. They have access to the largest field of natural gas and oil. They have economic standards in place. The only thing that makes Iran a third world country is the oppressive leadership that they have today. And I don't think that we need to go in boots on the ground and start shooting people, but I believe we need to show our support to the Iranian people who are largely upset and want this regime gone. The majority of people of Iran are not happy with the Ayatollahs, period. And I'm not saying that our form of democracy works. But why not give these people a chance? Because we have the opportunity, and the largest factor of destabilization in the Middle East comes from Iran. Because when they're able, when they have money, when people like Joe Biden allow them to sell oil all over the world, guess where that money goes? It funds all the other destabilizing factors in the region with the ultimate goal of the destruction of Israel. It doesn't matter what you think about Israel here, too. Israel did do a great job militarily. They won. We destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. We've also destroyed their economy and their currency, which is now setting people up to push the current regime out. We need to supply them with any type of support, whether that be militarily or not, in order to make that happen. You will see an incredible restabilization and a uniting of the Arab peoples that we would have never seen before if we can remove the Ayatollahs. They are a cancer in the center of a largely modernizing, growing, and Western embracing Middle East. A lot of that is because the diminished demand for oil and their need to diversify economically to maintain their success. And the only way they can do that is to be more Western friendly and have movie theaters and McDonald's and cars, etc. Persia was the first nation in the world, in world history, to create a human rights decree. Persia. Many Persian Americans, forced to flee, have had to give up their land and submit to the Iran's new supreme leadership. They recount horrific stories of public stonings, sanctioned murders of non-believers, and severe abuses towards women and gays. These individuals remind us of the horrors inflicted by the Iranian regime on its people. Many in Iran live in constant fear, and most do not support the Ayatollahs. That is directly from a group of Persian American immigrants in Orange County that organize and talk about the need for regime change. And as a conservative, as a pro-tried and true capitalist and proponent of democracy, I believe that it could be very beneficial for the region, for us, and for the people of Iran to get rid of the Ayatollahs and re-establish something less oppressive. Period. I write here, if it were any other country in the Middle East, I would wholeheartedly agree that attempts at democracy would be futile. However, Iran is different, not just another Middle Eastern nation. The economic benefits of a democratic ally in the region could mean generational wealth for our country here in the U.S. and Iranians who deserve it. Iran has been suggested to have more oil than Saudi Arabia and Kuwait combined, and its population could generate wealth beyond those two kingdoms. Iran has a solid infrastructure of roads, bridges, and commerce, and would not cost or require even half of what is needed for Iraq's reconstruction. In summary, the benefits of assisting the Iranian people as well as others under their oppressive regime far outweigh the drawbacks. As a Trump supporter, I fully embrace his policy of limiting or eliminating international military conflicts. This has been a significant long-term goal, and we've made considerable progress. However, like FDR, Trump has been granted an extraordinary opportunity. None of us expected the Israelis to be able to achieve as much in weakening this regime as they have. Furthermore, no one could have foreseen a chance to liberate one of the world's greatest nations while benefiting economically from oil and maximizing trade and commerce in the region. We also have to understand that Iran is a client state of China and Russia. And because of the new Silk Road initiatives and the direct access that China has to the Middle East, they're beating us in trade. And by opening trade in Iran with a less oppressive, more pro-Western democracy, some form of democracy that's nationalist in nature and chosen and created by the people of the country, not us, not globalists, not elitists, trying to experiment with democracy, all the third world countries all over the place. No, I'm not talking about colonization. I'm not talking about imperialism. As Americans, we can only be on the right side of history. As conservatives, we can lead that effort. Although President Trump is committed to keeping our troops at home and is often anti-aggression, we cannot ignore the facts. The Persian Empire foundations of education, free exchange of ideas, religious freedoms, and human rights will facilitate the establishment of a new democratic government with minimal effort on our part. The people are ready. This is what they want. We're not forcing it down their throats like we've done in Afghanistan, like we've done in Iraq. Foreign policy can be effective and we can inspire change, and we can stabilize regions that will largely benefit our security and our economy for many generations to come. If Trump were to remove the supreme leader and his inner circle, Iran would flourish, and we would once again todd toppled one of the most oppressive, evil, and dangerous governments since Adolf Hitler. Many people say you can't be MAGA and support regime change. Look, there are so many brilliant people that make these decisions. Secretary Heggset, Trump, members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, etc. I'm not saying that it has to be boots on the ground. I'm not saying that it has to be drones. I'm not saying that it just has to be a nuclear program. What I'm saying is that there is low-hanging fruit in Iran. The opportunity is there. And I believe we can install a less oppressive government to help the people of Iran help the people of Israel stabilize the region without much pushback, problems, or military involvement. It can be done. They've already shown their people they cannot defend themselves from Israel, can't defend themselves from the United States. Now their people are going to start starving. Revolt will ensue. But unless we continually cripple the regime that will then treat dissidents in the same way that they've treated women, gays, and non-believers for several decades, unless we handicap their ability to violently retaliate against their people, nothing will change. And that's what I support. None of us expected for this opportunity to open, but it is open and it will change the world, and it needs to happen. Again, the re-strengthening of the red bloc of the world, China, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, other communist nations, things like BRICS, all of these things were the result of Joe Biden's poor, poor and Obama's poor foreign policies that allowed these communist, fascist, socialist, whatever you want to call, anti-American, anti-people, small clusters of evil power to enrich themselves and continue their stronghold over their nations. We don't have to be the world police. We don't have to be in constant military conflict, but we need to push a regime change in Iran. I believe that will be the start. And that regime change, if we do it correctly, will inspire the same thing in Venezuela, whose populations are largely similar in the sense that the people of Venezuela support freedom of religion, freedom of press, freedom of speech. They support democracy. They go to the polls and vote. Even though their votes aren't counted, it doesn't count. It's all fake scam, corrupt elections now with Maduro. They still go to the polls and vote. They want to be heard, but they're afraid because dissenting opinions get violent retribution. We can cripple that. We can set an example that we're with people who are demanding more from their governments without being directly involved. For those of you who say, oh, it sounds like well, that was USAID was doing. No. USAID was throwing good money at bad problems, hoping they would go away. That's not what I'm talking about either. Let's find a viable, humane, and a limited solution that involves other allies that will allow us to push for regime change in the least violent and detrimental way possible. Iran is not Russia. Iran is not China. The opportunity is there. We could never do this in Russia. We could never do this in China right now. But the opportunity for us to do this in Iran is there. And the same opportunity with a little more time as we place embargoes on these ghost ships and oil, as we begin to cripple Venezuelan currency and Venezuelan economies scale. The people will, again, abandon their fear of violent retribution and raise up against the government. And we need to be there to help them. That's the true conservative foreign policy. I don't think it we have to be warmongers or international police, but we have to do something when people demand more of their governments. Or what are we doing? And from a purely business standpoint, folks, there's only two ways to grow collecting additional sales or revenue from your existing customer base, or getting new customers. The globe is shrinking in a way. The globe is shrinking. We need new customers in order to grow American business. That's what Trump's been out doing with these international deals. But Iran, Venezuela, China, Russia, what are these countries, as they become more independent, represent huge market opportunities for our economy as well. And only an idiot wouldn't look at that. Just like only an idiot wouldn't go into a country like Iraq and then not take the oil. So unfortunately, the Bushes have destroyed American confidence in foreign policy and on our ability to do the right thing. And then they sit back and say they want to take the party back from Trump. Yeah, that's what people want. We want to go back to the Bush times, where you and the Obamas and the Clintons, Republicans and Democrats, were all the same, just selling us out in order to enrich yourselves. Trump's the first person that has exposed that in a way, in a meaningful way, where most Americans realize now that what was happening politically, just like what we see with the Somalis and Tom Emmer, was nothing more than just a big group of elitists in Washington, D.C. getting rich and putting the American people last. And Trump has shined a light on that, which has made many people uncomfortable. That's why we don't see Emmers and Paul Ryan's and Republicans like that anymore. And when we do, they get primaried and bounced out. So I believe that Iran can stand for a regime change, and I believe we could do it effectively and correctly without a mass military operation that results in thousands of casualties. Because again, it's ripe for the picking. The people are there to support it if we support the people. On the flip side, I also don't necessarily agree with Netanyahu's pro 100% military stance to invade militarily, continue bombing, and continue decimating with potential casualties in Iran. I'm not sure if military, that aggressive military operation would be effective either. We have to have a balance. But giving up and walking away from Iran, while now they rebuild, they'll lean heavily on the Chinese and the Russians for better military technology. They'll continue to sell them oil, they'll continue to sell oil to India and other countries that don't embrace the sanctions, enrich themselves, support terrorism globally, and keep the Middle Eastern region destabilized. That's what will happen. So something's got to give one way or the other. And I believe that along with the people of Iran, we can do this. And I think eventually it'll be the same case in Venezuela. And again, the red bloc will be then left to Russia and China and a handful of other little countries, and that's manageable. But the extreme growth of the new Red Bloc under Biden with North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, China, Russia becoming richer, more powerful, more influential, that is scary. And now if we have opportunities to break that up and put them largely back in the corner of international relations, we should do it. It would be a very, very smart move on our part. But I also understand the reluctance. All right, folks, and with that, I'm out of time for today. But tomorrow is Wacky Wednesday. We'll kick the day off with this story on Newsom's big boondoggle costing California taxpayers billions to build a new state building, all while he sits around and criticizes Trump, who's actually collected private funds to restore and rebuild the White House ballroom. That wacky Wednesday, the last gay syphilis recovery center, and more when we're back tomorrow. And with that said, allow me to share with you what Reagan once said. Freedom is the right to question and change the established way of doing things. It is the continuous revolution of the marketplace. It is the understanding that allows us to recognize shortcomings and seek solutions. That's what this show is all about. That's what freedom is all about. God bless you, President Reagan, and make God save America.
