  • Guess public perception of the war and the making for the war.
  • 00:06:43.230 --> 00:06:46.667
  • War and the making for the war. it seems like there were
  • 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:47.501

  • 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:14.094
  • >> has he made that case effectively to the us people?
  • 00:07:14.228 --> 00:07:17.131
  • Effectively to the us people? it's not made it strongly
  • 00:07:17.264 --> 00:07:17.865
  • It's not made it strongly enough and that's why there's a
  • 00:07:17.998 --> 00:07:18.599
  • Enough and that's why there's a lot of pushback from various
  • 00:07:18.732 --> 00:07:21.235
  • Lot of pushback from various people in capitol hill.
  • 00:07:21.368 --> 00:07:21.835

  • Pressure is saying what is really going on here here?
  • 00:07:29.610 --> 00:07:31.879
  • Really going on here here? because of the fact that the
  • 00:07:32.012 --> 00:07:32.613
  • Because of the fact that the president has not gotten his
  • 00:07:32.746 --> 00:07:35.983
  • President has not gotten his messaging together and that's
  • 00:07:36.116 --> 00:07:36.717
  • Messaging together and that's what i was talking to caroline
  • 00:07:36.850 --> 00:07:37.451

  • Imminent. and one of the reasons that i
  • 00:07:53.067 --> 00:07:55.169
  • And one of the reasons that i brought up to her about the
  • 00:07:55.302 --> 00:07:55.869
  • Brought up to her about the importance of this messaging is
  • 00:07:56.003 --> 00:07:58.172
  • Importance of this messaging is the fact that for the past 47
  • 00:07:58.305 --> 00:07:58.939
  • The fact that for the past 47 years let's make it clear
  • 00:07:59.073 --> 00:08:02.209
  • Years let's make it clear beyond the politics of of iran
  • 00:08:02.343 --> 00:08:03.143
  • Beyond the politics of of iran there the sinister nature of
  • 00:08:03.277 --> 00:08:06.146
  • There the sinister nature of how the iranian regime has
  • 00:08:06.280 --> 00:08:06.847
  • How the iranian regime has operated ideologically and
  • 00:08:06.981 --> 00:08:09.883

  • Spiritually. and and she addressed that and
  • 00:08:10.417 --> 00:08:13.887
  • And and she addressed that and in answer that she believes
  • 00:08:14.021 --> 00:08:17.157
  • In answer that she believes that of course she would say
  • 00:08:17.291 --> 00:08:17.992
  • That of course she would say this that the president has
  • 00:08:18.125 --> 00:08:18.726
  • This that the president has made the message very clear.
  • 00:08:18.859 --> 00:08:21.662
  • Made the message very clear. but i asked her again why then
  • 00:08:21.795 --> 00:08:24.999
  • But i asked her again why then do we see this division
  • 00:08:25.132 --> 00:08:25.799
  • Do we see this division particularly on capitol hill
  • 00:08:25.933 --> 00:08:26.500
  • Particularly on capitol hill between republicans, democrats

  • So they're placating to their far left which tearing down
  • 00:13:39.046 --> 00:13:42.015

  • 00:37:30.254 --> 00:37:33.490
  • Again that jesus christ is a son of god that he came, that
  • 00:37:33.624 --> 00:37:34.324
  • Son of god that he came, that he me on the cross as a
  • 00:37:34.458 --> 00:37:37.628
  • He me on the cross as a sacrifice.
  • 00:37:37.761 --> 00:37:37.995
  • Sacrifice. and then three days later he
  • 00:37:39.396 --> 00:37:40.197
  • And then three days later he rose from the dead.
  • 00:37:40.330 --> 00:37:40.731
  • Rose from the dead. and if i i believe in him.
  • 00:37:40.864 --> 00:37:43.700
  • And if i i believe in him. i'll be safe.
  • 00:37:43.834 --> 00:37:44.134
  • I'll be safe. i said that's a bunch of
  • 00:37:44.268 --> 00:37:44.801
  • I said that's a bunch of baloney.
  • 00:37:44.935 --> 00:37:45.135
  • Baloney. i rejected the whole.
  • 00:37:45.269 --> 00:37:47.504
  • I rejected the whole. i said how could i have a son?
  • 00:37:47.638 --> 00:37:48.572
  • I said how could i have a son? god doesn't have a wife.
  • 00:37:48.705 --> 00:37:51.341
  • God doesn't have a wife. i could not comprehend that
  • 00:37:51.475 --> 00:37:52.075
  • I could not comprehend that that god would have a son and
  • 00:37:52.209 --> 00:37:52.776
  • That god would have a son and he would come and die and die
  • 00:37:52.910 --> 00:37:54.578
  • He would come and die and die for us.
  • 00:37:54.711 --> 00:37:54.912
  • For us. but one week later i was so
  • 00:37:55.045 --> 00:37:55.612
  • But one week later i was so depressed and so sad and
  • 00:37:55.746 --> 00:37:58.515
  • Depressed and so sad and everything seemed dark and
  • 00:37:58.649 --> 00:37:59.182
  • Everything seemed dark and hopeless and i heard the
  • 00:37:59.316 --> 00:38:02.920
  • Hopeless and i heard the message again.
  • 00:38:03.053 --> 00:38:03.387
  • Message again. so that day i had to lose and
  • 00:38:03.520 --> 00:38:06.223
  • So that day i had to lose and very skeptical.
  • 00:38:06.356 --> 00:38:06.690
  • Very skeptical. i said jesus, i do not know
  • 00:38:06.823 --> 00:38:10.327
  • I said jesus, i do not know you.
  • 00:38:10.460 --> 00:38:10.594
  • You. i was told you are a prophet.
  • 00:38:10.727 --> 00:38:11.428
  • I was told you are a prophet. now i hear you're the son of
  • 00:38:12.963 --> 00:38:13.897
  • Now i hear you're the son of god.
  • 00:38:14.031 --> 00:38:14.164
  • God. i don't know who is telling the
  • 00:38:14.298 --> 00:38:14.932
  • I don't know who is telling the truth.
  • 00:38:15.065 --> 00:38:15.232
  • Truth. i don't want to be of religion.
  • 00:38:15.365 --> 00:38:17.234
  • I don't want to be of religion. but if it's true i want you to
  • 00:38:17.367 --> 00:38:18.368
  • But if it's true i want you to show me and the moment i say
  • 00:38:18.502 --> 00:38:21.538
  • Show me and the moment i say that the heat went through my
  • 00:38:21.672 --> 00:38:22.272
  • That the heat went through my head.
  • 00:38:22.406 --> 00:38:22.573
  • Head. i cry and weep.
  • 00:38:22.706 --> 00:38:24.942
  • I cry and weep. it's like somebody put his hand
  • 00:38:25.075 --> 00:38:25.709
  • It's like somebody put his hand in my heart out all that hatred
  • 00:38:25.842 --> 00:38:28.812
  • In my heart out all that hatred and anger and bitterness and
  • 00:38:28.946 --> 00:38:31.848
  • And anger and bitterness and and depression because i hated
  • 00:38:31.982 --> 00:38:32.583
  • And depression because i hated the people who tortured me
  • 00:38:32.716 --> 00:38:33.283
  • The people who tortured me unjustly.
  • 00:38:33.417 --> 00:38:36.453
  • Unjustly. that hatred turned to
  • 00:38:36.587 --> 00:38:37.120
  • That hatred turned to compassion and i was so full of
  • 00:38:37.254 --> 00:38:40.090
  • Compassion and i was so full of joy, so full of love.
  • 00:38:40.223 --> 00:38:40.691
  • Joy, so full of love. i went to my mom's house.
  • 00:38:40.824 --> 00:38:41.391
  • I went to my mom's house. my mom, me and she said what
  • 00:38:41.525 --> 00:38:44.995
  • My mom, me and she said what happened to you?
  • 00:38:45.128 --> 00:38:45.495
  • Happened to you? i said why?
  • 00:38:45.629 --> 00:38:45.929
  • I said why? she said your face is shining.
  • 00:38:46.063 --> 00:38:48.065
  • She said your face is shining. i told my mother that i became
  • 00:38:48.198 --> 00:38:48.966
  • I told my mother that i became a christian.
  • 00:38:49.099 --> 00:38:49.399
  • A christian. i accepted in my heart and she
  • 00:38:49.533 --> 00:38:52.736
  • I accepted in my heart and she didn't have a negative reaction
  • 00:38:52.869 --> 00:38:53.503
  • Didn't have a negative reaction and she for many years she had
  • 00:38:53.637 --> 00:38:56.673
  • And she for many years she had a pain that the doctor said you
  • 00:38:56.807 --> 00:38:57.474
  • A pain that the doctor said you have to have surgery, so much
  • 00:38:57.608 --> 00:38:59.776
  • Have to have surgery, so much pain.
  • 00:38:59.910 --> 00:39:00.077
  • Pain. i had this confidence that if
  • 00:39:00.210 --> 00:39:02.980
  • I had this confidence that if if i ask anything in the name
  • 00:39:03.113 --> 00:39:03.847
  • If i ask anything in the name of jesus you will hear me.
  • 00:39:03.981 --> 00:39:04.514
  • Of jesus you will hear me. so i prayed my mother and
  • 00:39:04.648 --> 00:39:07.718
  • So i prayed my mother and suddenly pain left my mom.
  • 00:39:07.851 --> 00:39:08.418
  • Suddenly pain left my mom. she never had the same same
  • 00:39:08.552 --> 00:39:10.621
  • She never had the same same problem every game and she was
  • 00:39:10.754 --> 00:39:11.355
  • Problem every game and she was suffering for years and jesus
  • 00:39:11.488 --> 00:39:12.055
  • Suffering for years and jesus christ healed her.
  • 00:39:12.189 --> 00:39:14.691
  • Christ healed her. so then i began to look for a a
  • 00:39:14.825 --> 00:39:18.595
  • So then i began to look for a a christian now and i see what
  • 00:39:18.729 --> 00:39:19.296
  • Christian now and i see what jesus said.
  • 00:39:19.429 --> 00:39:19.696
  • Jesus said. i was told when i was a muslim
  • 00:39:19.830 --> 00:39:21.999
  • I was told when i was a muslim that moses brought the torah
  • 00:39:22.132 --> 00:39:22.666
  • That moses brought the torah and jesus brought in jail which
  • 00:39:22.799 --> 00:39:25.936
  • And jesus brought in jail which is gospel and muhammad brought
  • 00:39:26.069 --> 00:39:26.670
  • Is gospel and muhammad brought the koran.
  • 00:39:26.803 --> 00:39:27.070
  • The koran. but they told two are
  • 00:39:27.204 --> 00:39:30.140
  • But they told two are distorted, their change is
  • 00:39:30.273 --> 00:39:30.807
  • Distorted, their change is corrupted so they're valid only
  • 00:39:30.941 --> 00:39:33.744
  • Corrupted so they're valid only the koran is the last
  • 00:39:33.877 --> 00:39:34.344
  • The koran is the last revelation of god.
  • 00:39:34.478 --> 00:39:37.748
