The Rosenberg Report | Joel Rosenberg: What Happens After Khamenei? | The Rosenberg Report | July 10, 2025

Tonight on the rosenberg report.
00:00:00.957 --> 00:00:03.159
As israeli prime minister, netanyahu flies to washington
00:00:03.159 --> 00:00:06.429
And meets with president trump to discuss a possible deal
00:00:06.429 --> 00:00:09.966
To get the hostages out of gaza and broker a historic peace
00:00:09.966 --> 00:00:13.937
Treaties with saudi arabia and other arab and muslim countries.
00:00:13.937 --> 00:00:18.174
They also discussed another critical topic.
00:00:18.174 --> 00:00:20.910
What should be the future of iran?
00:00:20.910 --> 00:00:24.114
Is there a way to bring down the wicked regime
00:00:24.114 --> 00:00:27.283
In tehran and clear the way for the rise of a moderate,
00:00:27.283 --> 00:00:31.254
Pro-american, and pro-israeli leader?
00:00:31.254 --> 00:00:34.157
Our report from the white house, from jerusalem,
00:00:34.157 --> 00:00:37.060
And also show you my exclusive interview
00:00:37.060 --> 00:00:39.596
With the possible
00:00:39.596 --> 00:00:40.797
Next leader of iran, the exiled crown prince reza pahlavi.
00:00:40.797 --> 00:00:45.201
All this and more tonight on the rosenberg report.
00:00:45.201 --> 00:00:57.447
What happens if the wicked, cruel terror
00:00:58.314 --> 00:01:02.185
Master of tehran, the supreme leader of iran, ali khamenei?
00:01:02.185 --> 00:01:06.523
What if he's assassinated by israel or somebody else?
00:01:06.523 --> 00:01:10.226
What if he just dies of a heart attack or stroke or something?
00:01:10.226 --> 00:01:13.596
What if he flees from tehran and heads to moscow
00:01:13.596 --> 00:01:17.667
Or some other place the way the demon of damascus.
00:01:17.667 --> 00:01:21.371
Syrian president bashar al-assad fled, and his regime
00:01:21.371 --> 00:01:25.608
Crumbled in damascus in syria, in december of last year.
00:01:25.608 --> 00:01:29.379
What if this regime is wicked regime in iran?
00:01:29.379 --> 00:01:33.016
What if it falls? then what?
00:01:33.016 --> 00:01:35.118
Where do we go from here?
00:01:35.118 --> 00:01:36.686
Good evening, and welcome
00:01:36.686 --> 00:01:37.787
To a very special edition of the rosenberg report.
00:01:37.787 --> 00:01:41.424
The feature of iran, of course, was the central focus
00:01:41.424 --> 00:01:44.694
Of the meetings here in washington,
00:01:44.694 --> 00:01:46.196
At the white house
00:01:46.196 --> 00:01:47.397
This week with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu
00:01:47.397 --> 00:01:50.066
And president trump.
00:01:50.066 --> 00:01:51.267
This is netanyahu's third visit here to the white house
00:01:51.267 --> 00:01:54.404
In just the last five months of the trump administration.
00:01:54.404 --> 00:01:57.574
Keep in mind,
00:01:57.574 --> 00:01:58.775
Bibi was never invited to come to the white house
00:01:58.775 --> 00:02:01.878
During the years of president biden.
00:02:01.878 --> 00:02:03.913
So just some context.
00:02:03.913 --> 00:02:05.315
But the future of iran was the central focus of the talks.
00:02:05.315 --> 00:02:09.385
Now, what was interesting
00:02:09.385 --> 00:02:10.286
Is that there was no big announcement
00:02:10.286 --> 00:02:12.088
After trump and netanyahu met at long working dinner on monday
00:02:12.088 --> 00:02:16.092
Night, met again in a previously unscheduled
00:02:16.092 --> 00:02:19.095
But added to the schedule meeting on tuesday.
00:02:19.095 --> 00:02:22.265
Netanyahu also met with vice president vance, met with senior
00:02:22.265 --> 00:02:25.134
Congressional leaders, of course, met
00:02:25.134 --> 00:02:26.369
With secretary of state marco rubio and secretary of defense
00:02:26.369 --> 00:02:29.539
Pete hegseth and others.
00:02:29.539 --> 00:02:30.640
The big question
00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:31.841
Between bibi and trump was where are we going with iran?
00:02:31.841 --> 00:02:36.145
They were very encouraging of one another,
00:02:36.145 --> 00:02:38.815
And all the public messaging came out of how well
00:02:38.815 --> 00:02:42.352
Netanyahu and trump work together, how well the u.s.
00:02:42.352 --> 00:02:44.787
And israel work
00:02:44.787 --> 00:02:45.922
Together to bomb to destroy iran's nuclear facility.
00:02:45.922 --> 00:02:49.926
But the question is, where do we go from here?
00:02:49.926 --> 00:02:52.295
Right.
00:02:52.295 --> 00:02:53.062
Will netanyahu receive from trump
00:02:53.062 --> 00:02:55.298
The general green light that if israeli intelligence
00:02:55.298 --> 00:02:59.002
Detects that iran is trying to rebuild,
00:02:59.002 --> 00:03:00.670
Reconstitute its nuclear weapons program?
00:03:00.670 --> 00:03:04.607
Will israel be allowed to attack again and bomb
00:03:04.607 --> 00:03:07.343
It to just keep things destroyed and not allow
00:03:07.343 --> 00:03:11.014
Iran to reconstitute?
00:03:11.514 --> 00:03:13.082
Then the question is regime change.
00:03:13.082 --> 00:03:15.151
It's not the policy formerly of the trump administration
00:03:15.151 --> 00:03:18.254
Or netanyahu, to bring down the government of iran
00:03:18.254 --> 00:03:21.557
And to allow moderate an exiled crown
00:03:21.557 --> 00:03:25.461
Prince, reza pahlavi, to emerge as the new leader of iran.
00:03:25.461 --> 00:03:29.632
But the question is,
00:03:29.632 --> 00:03:31.234
Are there things that israel and the united states
00:03:31.234 --> 00:03:33.403
And other countries can do to put so much pressure
00:03:33.403 --> 00:03:35.972
On the iranian regime that that regime may, in fact fall,
00:03:35.972 --> 00:03:40.109
Allowing for the possibility of the rise of reza pahlavi?
00:03:40.109 --> 00:03:43.479
One of the things
00:03:43.913 --> 00:03:45.148
That's a little odd, though, i must say, is that president
00:03:45.148 --> 00:03:47.917
Trump keeps talking about wanting to do a deal with iran.
00:03:47.917 --> 00:03:50.586
Now that the bombing has happened,
00:03:50.586 --> 00:03:52.388
That he still wants a deal, he still wants to lift
00:03:52.388 --> 00:03:54.657
The economic sanctions off of the iranian regime
00:03:54.657 --> 00:03:57.327
And allow them to rebuild
00:03:57.327 --> 00:03:58.928
And rebuild their society, not their nuclear program.
00:03:58.928 --> 00:04:01.831
But that makes netanyahu and the israelis very concerned. why?
00:04:01.831 --> 00:04:05.501
Why would we want to inject large amounts of cash
00:04:05.501 --> 00:04:08.871
Into the iranian economy, into the coffers
00:04:08.871 --> 00:04:12.141
Of the iranian regime?
00:04:12.141 --> 00:04:13.643
When don't we want that regime to fall?
00:04:13.643 --> 00:04:16.479
Not because netanyahu and
00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:18.147
And israel and the united states are going to invade
00:04:18.147 --> 00:04:21.184
Or take direct, active steps to bring the regime down,
00:04:21.184 --> 00:04:24.520
But because they just
00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:25.722
Want to create the environment for that regime to fall.
00:04:25.722 --> 00:04:28.257
Why does president trump keep saying,
00:04:28.257 --> 00:04:30.760
Let's make a deal, let's make a deal.
00:04:30.760 --> 00:04:32.562
It's going to be fantastic.
00:04:32.562 --> 00:04:33.930
I will let the iranians get rich again and rebuild.
00:04:33.930 --> 00:04:37.233
That makes israelis nervous.
00:04:37.233 --> 00:04:39.802
So go to the youtube channel.
00:04:39.802 --> 00:04:42.205
I've got a much more detailed analysis and of course, on all
00:04:42.205 --> 00:04:45.475
All israel news as well.
00:04:45.475 --> 00:04:47.243
From the white house, from washington, as we're
00:04:47.243 --> 00:04:49.612
Looking at every angle of this visit.
00:04:49.612 --> 00:04:53.616
Well,
00:04:53.850 --> 00:04:54.384
I want to take you tonight to an interview that i did,
00:04:55.485 --> 00:04:58.588
An exclusive interview that i did
00:04:58.588 --> 00:05:00.390
Two years ago in april of 2023.
00:05:00.390 --> 00:05:04.026
Okay.
00:05:04.026 --> 00:05:04.927
I had an exclusive interview with the man
00:05:04.927 --> 00:05:08.064
Who is the exiled crown prince of iran, reza pahlavi.
00:05:08.064 --> 00:05:13.436
Reza pahlavi was the son of the shah of iran,
00:05:13.436 --> 00:05:17.540
Who governed basically
00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:19.175
Was a king of iran for, you know, many, many years.
00:05:19.175 --> 00:05:22.245
I was pro-american, was pro-israel, but fell.
00:05:22.245 --> 00:05:25.882
His regime fell.
00:05:25.882 --> 00:05:27.784
In january of 1979.
00:05:27.784 --> 00:05:30.586
And on february 1st, 1979, the ayatollah ruhollah khomeini
00:05:30.586 --> 00:05:36.058
Came to power and started leading,
00:05:36.058 --> 00:05:39.362
You know, iran in a horrible and dark
00:05:39.362 --> 00:05:41.197
Direction, right, anti-israel, anti-american,
00:05:41.197 --> 00:05:43.766
Shouting, death to america, death
00:05:43.766 --> 00:05:45.168
To israel and the street
00:05:45.168 --> 00:05:46.202
And started this terror regime that continues.
00:05:46.202 --> 00:05:49.005
But reza pahlavi was a was is the son of the late
00:05:49.005 --> 00:05:52.308
Shah of iran, and he is the man who's the most likely leader
00:05:52.308 --> 00:05:56.746
To take over
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.582
Iran and lead a free iran if this regime falls.
00:05:59.582 --> 00:06:04.487
So he made an historic and very unexpected and
00:06:04.487 --> 00:06:08.024
Surprising visit to israel, his first ever in april of 2023.
00:06:08.024 --> 00:06:12.495
And i was invited,
00:06:12.929 --> 00:06:14.897
To have an exclusive interview, the only interview
00:06:14.897 --> 00:06:17.700
That reza pahlavi did with an american television
00:06:17.700 --> 00:06:20.903
Network while he was here in israel, visiting tel aviv.
00:06:20.903 --> 00:06:25.308
Your excellency,
00:06:25.708 --> 00:06:26.542
Thank you so much for sitting down
00:06:26.542 --> 00:06:27.910
With the rosenberg report on tbn.
00:06:27.910 --> 00:06:30.279
I don't know how much experience
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:31.414
You've had in, communicating to christians,
00:06:31.414 --> 00:06:33.850
But we're very, very interested both obviously in israel, but
00:06:33.850 --> 00:06:37.553
Also the possibility of peace with iran, democracy in iran.
00:06:37.553 --> 00:06:42.492
Let's start with why did you come to israel?
00:06:42.492 --> 00:06:45.761
This is a big deal.
00:06:45.761 --> 00:06:46.829
It's an historic moment.
00:06:46.829 --> 00:06:49.298
Why did you even want to do it?
00:06:49.298 --> 00:06:50.833
For over four decades, we have had a regime that,
00:06:50.833 --> 00:06:55.037
From the very beginning,
00:06:55.037 --> 00:06:57.073
Planted the seed of hatred, of violence,
00:06:57.073 --> 00:07:00.343
Of instability, of antagonism, of interference,
00:07:00.343 --> 00:07:04.313
Of using its proxies to conduct,
00:07:04.313 --> 00:07:07.383
From their point of view, a mission of exploiting
00:07:07.383 --> 00:07:09.385
An ideological religious revolution to the detriment of
00:07:09.385 --> 00:07:12.488
The iranian people.
00:07:12.488 --> 00:07:14.023
And from the get go,
00:07:14.490 --> 00:07:16.425
Establishing discrimination against religious minorities
00:07:16.425 --> 00:07:20.496
And all sorts of, opinions and for, for decades,
00:07:20.496 --> 00:07:24.901
My fellow compatriots have suffered the consequences.
00:07:24.901 --> 00:07:27.470
But not just them.
00:07:27.470 --> 00:07:29.205
Many in the region and beyond.
00:07:29.205 --> 00:07:30.907
So, net net,
00:07:30.907 --> 00:07:33.342
Instead of going in the direction
00:07:33.342 --> 00:07:35.011
Of a path of conflict, a path of uncertainty, of,
00:07:35.011 --> 00:07:40.016
Nuclear threats, of terrorism, of radicalism.
00:07:40.016 --> 00:07:43.886
The iranian people have nothing to do with that.
00:07:43.886 --> 00:07:46.923
On the contrary, we are peace loving people.
00:07:46.923 --> 00:07:49.492
We want to be able to have friendly relationship,
00:07:49.492 --> 00:07:51.928
Cordial relationship with every nation,
00:07:51.928 --> 00:07:54.664
Any one on the planet that recognizes our sovereignty
00:07:54.664 --> 00:07:58.901
And independence and work together towards
00:07:58.901 --> 00:08:01.370
Peace, towards progress, towards modernity.
00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:04.373
That's the demand of today's generation who have suffered
00:08:04.373 --> 00:08:07.643
All these years under this regime.
00:08:07.643 --> 00:08:10.379
Why israel?
00:08:10.379 --> 00:08:11.614
Because israel is, after all, a country with a democratic,
00:08:11.614 --> 00:08:17.019
Structure, that,
00:08:17.420 --> 00:08:19.622
Understand how pivotal it would be under a different
00:08:19.622 --> 00:08:23.059
Iran to be a strategic partner, which is good for stability,
00:08:23.059 --> 00:08:26.929
For the region, for the betterment of relations.
00:08:26.929 --> 00:08:28.965
So is the anti thesis to what we currently have.
00:08:28.965 --> 00:08:33.436
What is. it?
00:08:33.436 --> 00:08:34.537
Is it a risk to your movement of trying to build a
00:08:34.537 --> 00:08:37.239
An opposition democracy and freedom.
00:08:37.239 --> 00:08:40.343
Is it a risk to,
00:08:40.343 --> 00:08:41.510
To come to the little satan, as it were, to israel?
00:08:41.510 --> 00:08:43.913
I mean, the the clerics literally say this every week.
00:08:43.913 --> 00:08:47.083
That's israel, not to mention death to america.
00:08:47.083 --> 00:08:49.585
Is that a risk to your message?
00:08:49.585 --> 00:08:51.420
On the contrary, it reinforces
00:08:51.420 --> 00:08:52.922
Is the narrative that unlike the regime,
00:08:52.922 --> 00:08:55.791
The iranian people want to have peace, want to have
00:08:55.791 --> 00:08:59.428
Cordial relationship,
00:08:59.428 --> 00:09:00.763
Want to enjoy the very same liberties and human
00:09:00.763 --> 00:09:03.866
Rights values that democracies around the world have.
00:09:03.866 --> 00:09:07.436
They want to be part of that equation.
00:09:07.436 --> 00:09:09.672
They want to be part of the world
00:09:09.672 --> 00:09:10.973
That is evolving in that direction.
00:09:10.973 --> 00:09:12.775
They want to make sure that just as much as you have
00:09:12.775 --> 00:09:15.311
A guaranteed freedom of speech or religion, say,
00:09:15.311 --> 00:09:18.914
In the united states or any other democracy,
00:09:18.914 --> 00:09:21.684
We should have the same for us.
00:09:21.684 --> 00:09:23.152
So all of our face, all of our opinions, all of our,
00:09:23.152 --> 00:09:26.589
Rights as human beings are respected and guaranteed
00:09:27.590 --> 00:09:30.526
By the rule of law and by the constitution.
00:09:30.526 --> 00:09:32.862
It's not something alien to us.
00:09:32.862 --> 00:09:34.930
Let's not forget that before most of the western world
00:09:34.930 --> 00:09:38.934
As such existed, cyrus the great, 25 centuries ago,
00:09:38.934 --> 00:09:43.773
Was the first one to introduce the very concept of human rights
00:09:43.773 --> 00:09:47.410
And liberty of faith.
00:09:47.410 --> 00:09:49.211
We are the children of cyrus.
00:09:49.211 --> 00:09:51.180
Yeah, we think that's the right. message of yours.
00:09:51.180 --> 00:09:53.149
And it's fascinating to me because both as a jew
00:09:53.149 --> 00:09:55.484
On my father's side and as an evangelical follower of jesus,
00:09:55.484 --> 00:09:59.355
I'm intrigued.
00:09:59.689 --> 00:10:00.322
Right?
00:10:00.322 --> 00:10:00.890
Isaiah the prophet said
00:10:00.890 --> 00:10:02.591
Specifically by name hundreds of years before
00:10:02.591 --> 00:10:04.760
Cyrus was born, that there would be a leader.
00:10:04.760 --> 00:10:06.729
God would choose him.
00:10:06.729 --> 00:10:07.763
His name would be cyrus,
00:10:07.763 --> 00:10:08.998
And he would liberate the jews and rebuild the temple.
00:10:08.998 --> 00:10:11.901
And then he did.
00:10:11.901 --> 00:10:13.202
I'm not aware of any iranian leader, though,
00:10:13.202 --> 00:10:15.204
Who's ever thought, yeah, that's a good thing.
00:10:15.204 --> 00:10:16.772
You're right.
00:10:16.772 --> 00:10:17.673
But that's the tension between inside the,
00:10:17.673 --> 00:10:20.242
The persian history,
00:10:20.242 --> 00:10:21.510
Between the humans who wanted to annihilate the jews,
00:10:21.510 --> 00:10:24.880
And queen esther, who god used to intervene.
00:10:24.880 --> 00:10:27.917
But i think, you know, we've lived for so long,
00:10:27.917 --> 00:10:31.420
Thinking there's a
00:10:31.854 --> 00:10:32.955
Heyman in charge of iran that these people want to.
00:10:32.955 --> 00:10:35.825
And they don't want to just get rid of israel.
00:10:35.825 --> 00:10:38.094
They want to literally destroy us all.
00:10:38.094 --> 00:10:40.429
So we're not used to an iranian leader,
00:10:40.429 --> 00:10:43.899
The son of the previous shah, the king of iran, even,
00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:48.337
Even wanting to come here, much less talking positively
00:10:48.337 --> 00:10:51.774
About rebuilding the temple
00:10:51.774 --> 00:10:52.975
And liberating jews, that that history is so important.
00:10:52.975 --> 00:10:56.312
Why is it important to you?
00:10:56.312 --> 00:10:57.413
Because don't look at me and why i'm here.
00:10:57.413 --> 00:10:59.882
Look at hundreds of thousands of young iranians
00:10:59.882 --> 00:11:03.986
Within the last 2 or 3 years, gathering in front of cyrus's
00:11:03.986 --> 00:11:08.524
Tomb in pasar god in the shiraz area in iran,
00:11:08.524 --> 00:11:12.862
Protesting against the regime
00:11:13.496 --> 00:11:15.731
And chanting slogans about their heritage,
00:11:15.731 --> 00:11:19.135
About their sense of national identity.
00:11:19.135 --> 00:11:22.304
And it somehow ties back to what i just told you.
00:11:22.304 --> 00:11:25.508
So it's not just me is the voice of millions of iranians
00:11:25.508 --> 00:11:28.944
Who have.
00:11:28.944 --> 00:11:29.745
Been cyrus the great remains great
00:11:29.745 --> 00:11:31.447
Among the persian people today.
00:11:31.447 --> 00:11:32.748
It is a sense of civilizational
00:11:32.748 --> 00:11:35.885
And cultural and national identity that transcends
00:11:35.885 --> 00:11:41.090
Everything.
00:11:41.423 --> 00:11:42.324
I mean, whether
00:11:42.324 --> 00:11:43.492
You are a christian or a muslim or a baha'i or a jew, or
00:11:43.492 --> 00:11:47.129
If you are a kurd or a azeri or a baluch,
00:11:47.129 --> 00:11:50.699
That sense of national identity finds itself
00:11:50.699 --> 00:11:53.903
Back in the narrative of a proud nation
00:11:53.903 --> 00:11:56.572
With a pride history and with something
00:11:56.572 --> 00:11:59.675
And how much it contributed to western civilization.
00:11:59.675 --> 00:12:03.445
Thomas jefferson incorporated into the constitution of america
00:12:03.445 --> 00:12:07.683
The declaration of independence
00:12:07.683 --> 00:12:09.251
Inspired very much by what cyrus the great has said.
00:12:09.251 --> 00:12:13.255
So if you look at that and the perspective of where
00:12:13.255 --> 00:12:16.358
We stand as a nation in the context
00:12:16.358 --> 00:12:19.595
Of these very ideals and values,
00:12:19.595 --> 00:12:22.865
As opposed to a regime that has been warmongering,
00:12:22.865 --> 00:12:25.734
Has been planting the seed of hatred and disdain.
00:12:25.734 --> 00:12:29.305
And, it's night and day.
00:12:29.305 --> 00:12:32.241
And part of my message to the world is us
00:12:32.241 --> 00:12:36.712
Iranians want to have cordial relationship with the world.
00:12:36.712 --> 00:12:40.883
And why not start with the most obvious,
00:12:40.883 --> 00:12:43.819
Which is where israel stands in terms of being threatened
00:12:43.819 --> 00:12:46.856
By a regime that calls for its disappearance, as well as me
00:12:46.856 --> 00:12:50.426
Knowing that, among other things, the best experts
00:12:50.426 --> 00:12:53.662
In managing water issues happen to be israeli experts.
00:12:53.662 --> 00:12:58.367
And what kind of a relationship with this country
00:12:58.367 --> 00:13:01.136
Would be mutually beneficial?
00:13:01.136 --> 00:13:02.738
And to my country,
00:13:02.738 --> 00:13:04.640
Instead of this narrative of hatred and anti-semitism,
00:13:04.640 --> 00:13:07.943
Whatever it is that is out there,
00:13:07.943 --> 00:13:09.912
You know, and that's part of the whole picture,
00:13:09.912 --> 00:13:13.015
That's great.
00:13:13.015 --> 00:13:14.316
Coming up next on the rosenberg report,
00:13:14.316 --> 00:13:16.585
Joel asks the crown prince of iran
00:13:16.585 --> 00:13:18.621
To describe his message to christians in the u.s.
00:13:18.621 --> 00:13:21.257
And around the world.
00:13:21.257 --> 00:13:22.591
How would followers of jesus christ be treated?
00:13:22.591 --> 00:13:25.294
What freedoms would they have if he were in power?
00:13:25.294 --> 00:13:28.530
Find out when the rosenberg report returns.
00:13:28.530 --> 00:13:31.066
Stay tuned.
00:13:31.066 --> 00:13:33.009
Stay tuned.
00:13:33.009 --> 00:13:37.607
You had an opportunity to
00:13:38.174 --> 00:13:39.242
Sit down with prime minister benjamin netanyahu.
00:13:39.242 --> 00:13:42.145
What was your impressions of him?
00:13:42.145 --> 00:13:43.580
What did you say to him?
00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:44.848
Did you talk specifically about your idea of the cyrus accords?
00:13:44.848 --> 00:13:48.151
And would you describe that a little bit to us?
00:13:48.151 --> 00:13:50.120
I hope one day we would be able to address all of these things
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:53.089
Of how we i mean, post regime.
00:13:53.089 --> 00:13:55.058
There are so many opportunities.
00:13:55.058 --> 00:13:56.426
And that goes with, i'd say,
00:13:56.426 --> 00:13:57.894
But the immediate focus is on the now.
00:13:57.894 --> 00:14:00.263
And and the now is basically you have millions of iranians
00:14:00.263 --> 00:14:05.068
Every single day all over the country
00:14:05.068 --> 00:14:07.370
Protesting this regime, sending the world
00:14:07.370 --> 00:14:10.573
Every signal of, listen, stand on our side for once
00:14:10.573 --> 00:14:15.078
After 40 years, whose side you choose to be.
00:14:15.078 --> 00:14:17.681
We've been shot in the eye.
00:14:17.681 --> 00:14:19.082
We've been arrested.
00:14:19.082 --> 00:14:20.116
Our daughters are being poisoned in schools.
00:14:20.116 --> 00:14:23.219
How far do you want to let this go?
00:14:23.219 --> 00:14:26.589
There is a chance.
00:14:26.589 --> 00:14:27.757
Right now is sort of a historical moment,
00:14:27.757 --> 00:14:29.926
Not just for from the point of view of israel, mind you,
00:14:29.926 --> 00:14:32.896
But for the whole free world to understand the significance
00:14:32.896 --> 00:14:37.200
Of putting an end to a regime that has been the root cause
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.004
Of all the problems we've been facing
00:14:41.004 --> 00:14:43.974
To liberate a nation that will be the guarantee
00:14:43.974 --> 00:14:46.776
Of stability and will eliminate every single problem
00:14:46.776 --> 00:14:51.081
That you see today, from radicalism
00:14:51.848 --> 00:14:54.317
To extremism to terrorism, to the nuclear threat.
00:14:54.317 --> 00:14:57.821
Everything ultimately touches.
00:14:57.821 --> 00:15:00.256
And what's the alternative?
00:15:00.256 --> 00:15:02.459
And from president,
00:15:02.459 --> 00:15:04.461
Prime minister
00:15:04.461 --> 00:15:05.528
Netanyahu to any other world leaders or legislators
00:15:05.528 --> 00:15:08.231
That have been talking all these years
00:15:08.231 --> 00:15:09.666
And particularly lately, i said, look,
00:15:09.666 --> 00:15:11.634
The alternative is right in front of your face
00:15:11.634 --> 00:15:14.204
Is a liberated nation that shared the very same values
00:15:14.204 --> 00:15:17.607
That you have,
00:15:17.607 --> 00:15:18.975
But you insist on continuing negotiating
00:15:18.975 --> 00:15:21.578
With those who are part of the problem to begin with.
00:15:21.578 --> 00:15:23.680
How do you expect to find a solution out of that?
00:15:23.680 --> 00:15:25.749
Let's talk about your,
00:15:25.749 --> 00:15:27.183
What's your message to christians around the world?
00:15:27.183 --> 00:15:29.953
Obviously, the bible is filled with
00:15:29.953 --> 00:15:31.588
We just talked about the
00:15:31.588 --> 00:15:32.789
Cyrus portion and queen esther, but even the the wise men
00:15:32.789 --> 00:15:36.159
Who came to bethlehem to find the king of the jews,
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:40.096
They reportedly came from persia.
00:15:40.096 --> 00:15:41.931
These were, astronomers who were watching the stars.
00:15:41.931 --> 00:15:45.435
So persia,
00:15:45.735 --> 00:15:47.170
Iran, that history is actually very deep in the bible.
00:15:47.170 --> 00:15:49.806
And while there's been negative issues, you're right.
00:15:49.806 --> 00:15:53.143
In biblical times, there's often wonderful warmth.
00:15:53.143 --> 00:15:55.412
So i'm just curious if you what's your message
00:15:55.412 --> 00:15:57.947
To the christian world, specifically
00:15:57.947 --> 00:16:00.283
Who we be praying for?
00:16:00.283 --> 00:16:01.284
I mean, i think the best guarantee
00:16:01.284 --> 00:16:03.653
For all face of the liberty to exist and freedom of religion
00:16:03.653 --> 00:16:07.657
And an end to any kind of persecution
00:16:07.657 --> 00:16:09.626
Has to have the guarantee of the rule of law and democracy
00:16:09.626 --> 00:16:12.328
And the secular system that separates religion
00:16:12.328 --> 00:16:15.532
From governance as a prerequisite to democracy.
00:16:15.532 --> 00:16:18.334
But it's in that context that you can coin and guarantee
00:16:18.334 --> 00:16:22.605
Freedom of religion and or speech or any religion.
00:16:22.605 --> 00:16:26.176
It doesn't have to be islam or christianity or judaism
00:16:26.176 --> 00:16:29.612
Or any other religion.
00:16:29.612 --> 00:16:30.847
It's a universal principle that ties those.
00:16:30.847 --> 00:16:34.384
Possible for us to imagine almost,
00:16:34.384 --> 00:16:37.420
Iran, which has
00:16:37.787 --> 00:16:38.655
Been shia, almost apocalyptic islam,
00:16:38.655 --> 00:16:41.791
Islamism or nothing.
00:16:41.791 --> 00:16:44.294
It's hard to imagine a world, but but you lived it because.
00:16:44.294 --> 00:16:47.464
Because i think part of the message is you need to rewind.
00:16:47.464 --> 00:16:50.133
You watch pre iranian revolution,
00:16:50.133 --> 00:16:53.236
You know, as a teenager,
00:16:53.236 --> 00:16:55.371
When i was growing up in my own country
00:16:55.371 --> 00:16:57.273
And i studied there, and i left my country
00:16:57.273 --> 00:16:59.175
When i was about 17.5 years old, to come to the united states
00:16:59.175 --> 00:17:03.146
To train in the air force base in lubbock, texas.
00:17:03.146 --> 00:17:07.083
But i just want to give you an image.
00:17:07.083 --> 00:17:10.253
What teenager doesn't dream to play with the national
00:17:10.253 --> 00:17:13.189
Iranian soccer team?
00:17:13.189 --> 00:17:14.357
And these players, you know, that's and we did.
00:17:14.357 --> 00:17:16.526
But what i embrace is because,
00:17:16.526 --> 00:17:18.628
You know, when our national team was playing, among them
00:17:18.628 --> 00:17:21.831
Were people of all different
00:17:21.831 --> 00:17:24.000
Kind of abstractions from the south,
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:25.602
From the north, with different faiths and ideology.
00:17:25.602 --> 00:17:27.737
And we were all iranians.
00:17:27.737 --> 00:17:30.006
Nobody said, oh,
00:17:30.006 --> 00:17:31.107
You are from this region, you're from that region,
00:17:31.107 --> 00:17:33.109
Or you're muslim or you're julia christian.
00:17:33.109 --> 00:17:35.578
That's the iran pre-revolution.
00:17:35.578 --> 00:17:38.515
There were jews in iran or baha'is in iran.
00:17:39.382 --> 00:17:41.551
There were christians in iran.
00:17:41.551 --> 00:17:43.153
Now you see that as a result of this regime,
00:17:43.153 --> 00:17:46.422
The first wave of people who had to leave,
00:17:46.422 --> 00:17:48.892
Who were immediately persecuted under this new ideology,
00:17:48.892 --> 00:17:53.196
Jews that had to leave iran to have to leave iran.
00:17:53.196 --> 00:17:56.266
So on how many converting out of the faith
00:17:56.266 --> 00:18:00.003
And became christians in iran?
00:18:00.603 --> 00:18:02.939
And are we here?
00:18:02.939 --> 00:18:04.541
But we don't know for sure.
00:18:04.541 --> 00:18:05.341
So it's all about
00:18:05.341 --> 00:18:06.776
Not just about the christians, not just about the jews,
00:18:06.776 --> 00:18:09.712
Not just about the base or anything, or even atheists.
00:18:09.712 --> 00:18:16.186
Liberty
00:18:16.419 --> 00:18:17.987
Guarantees of everyone's right.
00:18:17.987 --> 00:18:21.524
That's really what is my message to the whole world,
00:18:21.524 --> 00:18:24.794
Whether it's the christian coming to. why?
00:18:24.794 --> 00:18:26.829
Because
00:18:26.829 --> 00:18:28.631
Having that freedom
00:18:28.631 --> 00:18:31.734
To practice your
00:18:31.734 --> 00:18:34.437
Your faith
00:18:34.737 --> 00:18:35.471
With no fear has to be edged
00:18:35.471 --> 00:18:38.675
Into a guarantee of law and the rule of law.
00:18:38.675 --> 00:18:42.612
That's what i'm calling for.
00:18:43.213 --> 00:18:44.514
For iran, for my country.
00:18:44.514 --> 00:18:48.017
So the very same liberties that the free world
00:18:48.017 --> 00:18:52.755
Enjoys under those guarantees,
00:18:53.356 --> 00:18:55.858
That is what we want for ourselves.
00:18:55.858 --> 00:18:57.493
The kids who are fighting in the streets today, despite
00:18:57.493 --> 00:19:00.396
Knowing that they may end up
00:19:00.396 --> 00:19:01.731
In jail, tortured or even executed,
00:19:01.731 --> 00:19:04.834
Understand the cost to achieve that.
00:19:05.635 --> 00:19:08.738
And so the message from everybody who believes
00:19:09.706 --> 00:19:12.475
That this is the way to go have to today
00:19:12.475 --> 00:19:15.645
Tell the iranian people you're not alone in this fight.
00:19:15.645 --> 00:19:19.215
Your message has been heard, received and understood
00:19:19.215 --> 00:19:22.685
And it is imperative.
00:19:23.186 --> 00:19:25.188
It is a moral obligation from any human being
00:19:25.188 --> 00:19:29.425
Or persons who can influence the decision makers.
00:19:29.425 --> 00:19:34.097
There are lawmakers in every country
00:19:34.097 --> 00:19:36.366
To say, put an end to this injustice.
00:19:37.166 --> 00:19:40.436
We demand that you implement
00:19:40.436 --> 00:19:42.138
A policy that will put an end in that,
00:19:42.138 --> 00:19:44.107
Not by you doing it, but helping the iranian people overcoming.
00:19:44.107 --> 00:19:47.644
We need your support.
00:19:47.644 --> 00:19:49.078
We need you to be on the right side of the equation.
00:19:49.078 --> 00:19:52.215
No movement
00:19:52.215 --> 00:19:53.850
Of nonviolent civil disobedience to put an end to unwanted
00:19:53.850 --> 00:19:57.620
Regimes has been successful in our modern day world.
00:19:57.620 --> 00:20:01.457
Without the tacit support of the free world
00:20:01.457 --> 00:20:04.594
From the flsa in poland to mandela in south africa.
00:20:04.594 --> 00:20:09.432
And the same principle applies to iran.
00:20:09.432 --> 00:20:12.402
Look beyond this regime.
00:20:12.402 --> 00:20:13.870
Understand that the solution to the problem
00:20:13.870 --> 00:20:16.539
Is not cutting a deal with the current regime
00:20:16.539 --> 00:20:19.776
Is to empower a people who inherently
00:20:19.776 --> 00:20:22.979
Are against a regime that it's in its dna.
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.883
They cannot,
00:20:26.883 --> 00:20:28.284
In any form, coexist
00:20:28.751 --> 00:20:30.520
With the
00:20:30.520 --> 00:20:30.920
World
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:31.754
And the free world in these values,
00:20:31.754 --> 00:20:33.056
Because for them is black and white.
00:20:33.056 --> 00:20:34.991
Their success is based on your ultimate destruction.
00:20:34.991 --> 00:20:38.594
That's the way they think.
00:20:38.594 --> 00:20:40.363
They cannot have a solution of compromise with.
00:20:40.363 --> 00:20:44.133
Coming up next on the rosenberg report,
00:20:44.133 --> 00:20:46.336
What do the biblical prophecies tell us about the future
00:20:46.336 --> 00:20:49.305
Of iran?
00:20:49.305 --> 00:20:50.506
And could god be raising up reza pahlavi like he raised up
00:20:50.506 --> 00:20:53.643
Cyrus the great to help fulfill those prophecies?
00:20:53.643 --> 00:20:57.013
Don't miss the dramatic conclusion of tonight's show.
00:20:57.013 --> 00:20:59.849
As joel described these prophecies to the crown
00:20:59.849 --> 00:21:02.485
Prince of iran.
00:21:02.485 --> 00:21:03.686
Next, on the rosenberg report.
00:21:03.686 --> 00:21:07.003
Next, on the rosenberg report.
00:21:07.003 --> 00:21:10.460
Two quick last things.
00:21:10.927 --> 00:21:12.762
First, there are prophecies in the bible ezekiel 38, 39,
00:21:12.762 --> 00:21:17.967
But also jeremiah 49
00:21:17.967 --> 00:21:19.402
That really talk about the judgment
00:21:19.402 --> 00:21:21.604
Of the god of israel against the leadership,
00:21:21.604 --> 00:21:23.506
Not the people, but the leadership of iran.
00:21:23.506 --> 00:21:27.076
God actually says in jeremiah 49,
00:21:27.076 --> 00:21:29.412
I'm going to remove i'm going to judge those leaders,
00:21:29.412 --> 00:21:31.814
And i'm going to put my throne
00:21:31.814 --> 00:21:33.950
In islam, that the ancient, term.
00:21:34.684 --> 00:21:37.153
That's a fascinating thing for those of us who believe that
00:21:37.153 --> 00:21:39.455
Jesus is coming to jerusalem, but still,
00:21:39.455 --> 00:21:41.824
At some point,
00:21:41.824 --> 00:21:42.658
It means that he loves iran so much
00:21:42.658 --> 00:21:44.727
That it's going to be a center of his heart, for the world.
00:21:44.727 --> 00:21:48.831
One of the things that brought down the evil
00:21:48.831 --> 00:21:50.333
Empire of the soviet union was the prayers of millions
00:21:50.333 --> 00:21:53.403
And millions of christians all over the world,
00:21:53.403 --> 00:21:55.037
And certainly the rebirth of israel
00:21:55.037 --> 00:21:57.306
In 1948, after almost 2000 years of exile,
00:21:57.306 --> 00:22:00.877
The prayers of millions and millions of christians,
00:22:00.877 --> 00:22:02.678
Not only right, there are other people doing working hard.
00:22:02.678 --> 00:22:05.248
But, i want to encourage you, first of all, thank you for
00:22:05.248 --> 00:22:08.851
Speaking on tbn on the rosenberg report to get your message out
00:22:08.851 --> 00:22:12.321
To the evangelical world.
00:22:12.321 --> 00:22:13.356
But i want to encourage you to do more,
00:22:13.356 --> 00:22:15.057
Because i think that's an alliance that,
00:22:15.057 --> 00:22:17.326
That could really help.
00:22:17.326 --> 00:22:19.061
But i don't think they know your story,
00:22:19.061 --> 00:22:21.197
And i don't think they know, your.
00:22:21.197 --> 00:22:22.932
Cause they just hear,
00:22:22.932 --> 00:22:25.301
All the horror stories coming out of iran.
00:22:25.301 --> 00:22:26.702
They don't even know that there is a leader,
00:22:26.702 --> 00:22:28.404
Somebody who's trying to, to start for many years mobilized.
00:22:28.404 --> 00:22:32.008
But it's just not a message.
00:22:32.008 --> 00:22:33.176
I don't think that's come to our team yet.
00:22:33.176 --> 00:22:36.012
I'm trying and i'll.
00:22:36.012 --> 00:22:37.213
And i'll do more.
00:22:37.213 --> 00:22:38.214
And i appreciate this time of course. right.
00:22:38.214 --> 00:22:40.316
You know, i believe in this principle
00:22:40.316 --> 00:22:42.585
Some people may think is cliche, but as they say, divide.
00:22:42.585 --> 00:22:46.355
Together we stand, divided we fall.
00:22:47.123 --> 00:22:49.325
So the message is, togetherness messages, solidarity.
00:22:49.325 --> 00:22:54.530
Solidarity of all faiths, understanding
00:22:54.530 --> 00:22:57.266
That collectively we can prevail upon evil.
00:22:57.266 --> 00:23:00.803
And this regime is nothing but evil.
00:23:00.803 --> 00:23:03.573
But the solution is in the peace loving people who understand
00:23:03.573 --> 00:23:08.010
Liberty.
00:23:08.277 --> 00:23:09.512
You understand tolerance, who respect difference viewpoints,
00:23:09.512 --> 00:23:12.949
And they can live in peace together under the same roof.
00:23:12.949 --> 00:23:16.319
That should be the obvious need because we have so many
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:20.056
Challenges in our world today.
00:23:20.056 --> 00:23:21.491
You know, putting it into perspective,
00:23:21.491 --> 00:23:24.827
A tiny planet in the solar system that is part of 100
00:23:24.827 --> 00:23:27.964
And billions of stars just in our galaxy,
00:23:27.964 --> 00:23:30.333
In the world, in the universe
00:23:30.333 --> 00:23:31.801
Where we are just nothing at the end.
00:23:31.801 --> 00:23:34.070
And is it really going to be we on this planet?
00:23:34.070 --> 00:23:37.440
And we have, you know, environmental issues, you know,
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.110
Global warming, i mean, so many issues that affects
00:23:41.110 --> 00:23:44.280
People's and daily life.
00:23:44.280 --> 00:23:46.015
Is it is there time for hatred and bigotry and
00:23:46.015 --> 00:23:49.719
Injustice and discrimination?
00:23:49.719 --> 00:23:51.554
As a human race, what do we have to show for
00:23:52.488 --> 00:23:54.690
At the end of the day?
00:23:54.690 --> 00:23:55.925
And today's generation understands that, and we can
00:23:55.925 --> 00:23:59.161
Do so much more in the positive, in a positive spirit.
00:23:59.161 --> 00:24:02.765
And that's why we need unity, because sometimes we have to
00:24:02.765 --> 00:24:06.202
Fight together against injustice.
00:24:06.903 --> 00:24:09.272
This is a time when the iranian people need
00:24:09.272 --> 00:24:11.340
The most amount of world solidarity in their support,
00:24:11.340 --> 00:24:15.678
Because they are on the right path.
00:24:15.678 --> 00:24:17.680
And all we are asking as a nation,
00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:19.782
Be on the right side of history this time.
00:24:19.782 --> 00:24:22.318
I was so touched to see you at the holocaust memorial.
00:24:22.318 --> 00:24:25.821
The other night.
00:24:26.222 --> 00:24:27.156
I, i you remember it.
00:24:27.156 --> 00:24:28.791
But as you were leaving, i had a moment
00:24:28.791 --> 00:24:30.760
Just to say to you that i'm an evangelical israeli,
00:24:30.760 --> 00:24:33.396
And i'm praying for you, praying for the people of iran.
00:24:33.396 --> 00:24:35.631
I didn't expect an opportunity to be able to say
00:24:35.631 --> 00:24:37.733
That to you in a in a slightly calmer moment.
00:24:37.733 --> 00:24:40.770
But thank you.
00:24:41.103 --> 00:24:42.371
With the threat
00:24:42.371 --> 00:24:43.506
Of a second holocaust coming from the iranian regime,
00:24:43.506 --> 00:24:46.275
For you to honor,
00:24:46.275 --> 00:24:48.144
Our 6 million
00:24:48.511 --> 00:24:49.745
Who perished in the last evil genocide.
00:24:49.745 --> 00:24:52.949
I want to thank you.
00:24:53.416 --> 00:24:54.183
And i want to give you a book.
00:24:54.183 --> 00:24:56.619
Right now,
00:24:56.619 --> 00:24:57.753
This is a nonfiction book i wrote about my meetings
00:24:57.753 --> 00:24:59.255
With all the leaders in the region, mohammed bin
00:24:59.255 --> 00:25:01.857
Salman, mohammed bin zayed, king abdullah and jordan,
00:25:01.857 --> 00:25:05.795
Mohammed dara and el-sisi and and prime minister netanyahu.
00:25:05.795 --> 00:25:09.365
So it's my story as an evangelical how,
00:25:09.365 --> 00:25:11.434
You know, i've got no power. i'm not a billionaire.
00:25:11.434 --> 00:25:14.370
But somehow i've had a chance
00:25:14.370 --> 00:25:15.538
To sit with these leaders and now with you
00:25:15.538 --> 00:25:17.607
Right now, your country's an enemy.
00:25:17.607 --> 00:25:19.475
But i pray for the time will be coming.
00:25:19.475 --> 00:25:21.811
Ally, thank you so much.
00:25:21.811 --> 00:25:22.712
I want you to know i'm praying for you.
00:25:22.712 --> 00:25:23.746
And i'm going to encourage
00:25:23.746 --> 00:25:24.747
Millions of christians to say it will happen.
00:25:24.747 --> 00:25:26.949
The question is not whether it will happen,
00:25:26.949 --> 00:25:29.418
But when it will happen.
00:25:29.418 --> 00:25:31.153
The whole point is, the sooner it happens, the less
00:25:31.153 --> 00:25:35.324
Cost and more destruction.
00:25:35.891 --> 00:25:38.461
So i hope that we can expedite this for yet
00:25:38.461 --> 00:25:42.632
Another generation of iranians are not victim of this atrocity.
00:25:42.632 --> 00:25:45.635
I pray that you're right, your excellency.
00:25:45.635 --> 00:25:47.903
Thank you for your time. i'm honored to meet you.
00:25:47.903 --> 00:25:50.239
Thank you very much for.
00:25:50.239 --> 00:25:51.040
This award
00:25:51.040 --> 00:25:52.141
To tracking your story as, in the days and weeks ahead.
00:25:52.141 --> 00:25:55.511
Thank you so much. appreciate it. thank you.
00:25:55.511 --> 00:25:58.047
Wow. there's a lot we don't know about the future
00:25:58.047 --> 00:26:00.349
Of iran in this region.
00:26:00.349 --> 00:26:01.550
There's there's bible prophecies about the future of iran.
00:26:01.550 --> 00:26:03.319
But right now, i just want you to be praying
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:05.187
For the liberation of iran.
00:26:05.187 --> 00:26:06.956
And and is it god's will that reza pahlavi would emerge
00:26:06.956 --> 00:26:10.660
As the moderate, sane leader
00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:14.163
Who wants to make peace with israel?
00:26:14.163 --> 00:26:16.666
I mean, you heard that.
00:26:16.666 --> 00:26:17.800
That's so interesting.
00:26:17.800 --> 00:26:19.035
And as we close, i just want to underscore
00:26:19.035 --> 00:26:21.637
We've never heard, a leader of iran in
00:26:21.637 --> 00:26:25.775
Almost 50 years talk about peace with israel.
00:26:25.775 --> 00:26:28.744
All they say is death to israel and death to america.
00:26:28.744 --> 00:26:31.714
But reza pahlavi, you heard him tell me.
00:26:31.714 --> 00:26:33.949
He wants to create what he calls the cyrus accords,
00:26:33.949 --> 00:26:37.553
Based on the biblical figure, the the great, persian
00:26:37.553 --> 00:26:42.958
Leader, cyrus the great, who liberated
00:26:42.958 --> 00:26:46.195
The jews, sent all the jews out of exile.
00:26:46.195 --> 00:26:49.498
That would we were taken an exile under the babylonians
00:26:49.498 --> 00:26:52.568
And sent back to israel with money to rebuild
00:26:52.568 --> 00:26:55.771
Our country, rebuild jerusalem, and rebuild the temple.
00:26:55.771 --> 00:26:58.941
Amazing.
00:26:59.208 --> 00:27:00.309
This this man who could be the next leader of iran,
00:27:00.309 --> 00:27:03.579
Wants to negotiate the cyrus accords with israel.
00:27:03.579 --> 00:27:07.383
That would be a new day.
