A former NFL football offensive lineman, football player, the first Iranian born a football player at the NFL, and he has a few things to get off his chest. Tell me first of all, tell us about how much you enjoyed football,
and then we’ll talk about what the heck is going on in.
Iran listen football. First of all, thank you John for having me on giving me this platform to speak out on behalf of those who don’t have a platform or the freedom to speak. But first of all, I was blessed enough to be able to migrate to the United States at a young age. And you know what’s what’s
what’s the most emphatic sport for the United States that describes the United States, that sets that a part from the rest of the world is American football and uh and I love that game. And it’s it’s the only game where you can take eleven guys that believe in each other and can work together and and and be
of the right mind and and and you know, and on the same page, and be eleven players that are better than them. So I love that sport and I owe a lot in my life to that sport.
And tell me, do you have relative friends and relatives still in Iran?
Oh? Yes, sir. I’ve had people that have been shot recently by the Iranian regime that you know that that are around my first cousin, for example, the closest one to me.
And are you able to talk to them or do they have access to the internet or internet is dead or a phone?
What do you hear there? Listen, they’re really regime has been repressing to people for for forty forty seven years, going on fifty years, John, And you know this this uprising. I hear a lot of people talk about it’s economics, it’s this, and that. It’s not this. This is Iran has been experiencing nationwide protests and unrest for years now.
And you know, although maybe economic crisis doesn’t testify, but it doesn’t define it. Okay, this has been going on for several years, several years. I don’t know if you remember Masa, I mean a young woman who was detained by the morality police and then so beaten, brutally beaten that on her day in courtry clops and died. Then
then you know, it’s just been going on and on and on, and now you have a regime that is willing, that is willing to kill its own people just to stay in power. They are brutal. It’s a brutal government and they’re just they have responded with live ammunition, masterrest execution of protesters. They’ve been you know, they have an
estimate says that’s about eighty to ninety thousand people that have been killed in the last six months alone.
John, Oh my god, that’s that’s a crazy number. I mean, you know what I’ve said, you know what I’ve said to everybody. We’ve got to get rid of terrorism. You have to get rid of the people, and we have to open up the straight of hormouth. I mean, it’s just terrorism is is not good for anybody. What are
your people saying you I look, I’m very close today RANI community and uh I had a lot of friends in California. What are they saying to you?
Well, just just for those most I mean I recently saw a poll John that forty seven percent of Americans are against what we’re doing against UH. To Iran, it is it is to me, it’s it’s it blows it blows my mind. It absolutely. There are some wards that need to be fought. There are some dictators that need
to be taken out. This is the first time, John, in the history of the world. I’m willing to bet that a country has been attacked by an outside force. It has been attacked, and the people within ninety nine percent of the people within the country and ninety nine percent outside the country are cheering and dancing. I’m hearing
reports from my family and you asked me earlier, hardy talking to Yes, they are talking being there is starlink and I’m hearing from family members and friends and they’re saying, we don’t care that they’re being dropped cheap, going kill these people, get rid of these people. This is These are disgusting, in human monsters. You can’t even call them animals.
This is they need to be get rid of the world. What you know, Look, I don’t care if you love President Trump. I don’t care if you hate him. I don’t care what your politics are. There are certain things that are right and wrong. The war against Nazi Germany should have been fought. The war against Iran needs to
be fought. Okay, because what’s going to happen. Iran has been the number one, number one supporter of worldwide terrorism in the world. Everybody talks about, Oh my god, every hour there’s like another million dollars or billion dollars being spent.
Just think about this, people, how much money do we spend just countermoving counteracting terrorism around the world. Right now, If you knocked out Iran majority of the world terrorism, the funding is going to go away, is going to go away. And people need to understand this. At some point, we need to fight a war that’s for the good.
And again, I’m gonna say this again. This is the first time in the history of the world where the people are cheering against attackers from the outside, people inside the country and outside the country. And here’s another thing, John, that that people don’t realize. Do you do you know that the civilian deaths have been reduced by a lot
since the US and Israeli tax came in. So so just wrap your wrap your head around that, John. The death of civilians has been reduced by a large percentage since the bombing has started.
And I understand that the Kurdish people are going in now to help the Iranian people.
Well, Kurdish people are Iranian. Kurdish people are one of the If if you go back historically, Iran is Iranya Ariyana, which which means the land of the Aryans. The Curds are one of our brothers. The curs are one over there.
There’s been multiple tribes. You have the Azerbai Johnny’s, you have the Farce, which is the Persians. You have the Baluchis, you have the Turkumens, you have the Curds, you have the Lures, you have the Bacteriaris. It’s the Kurds. The Kurds are Iranian people, and and and they’re and they’re one of our They’re one of our people. So yes,
we’re very glad for the Kurts. And and look and the Kurts have been being screwed by by many different governments for so long. God bless the Curds.
Well, thank you for coming on. And let’s stay in touch because uh uh, you’re a very well spoken person and you know your stuff, and let’s stay in touch and and we’ll talk some more soon.
Well, I really appreciate it, John, and and and listen, those of us that live in the United States, the greatest country on Earth, we have a responsibility. We have a responsibility to help those that can’t help themselves, and and and this is this is what I love about this country. So I just want to leave with that,
with that statement, Thank you so much, John for the time
