Let me tell you where I go to.

Of course, I'm an American, but I was born and raised in Iran.

And when the Iran revolution happened and the war with Iraq, I sympathize with the families and the parents how scared they are today.

I saw the other day Armenians were celebrating.

Easter at an Armenian church, and Armenians were in the church, it reminded me of when I was a kid, and we'd go to these churches with my mom and my sister, or we'd go to this Assyrian church down the street from my grandmother's old house that she would live there, Rosa with Johnny and Victor, and we would go to her house right after the church, and it was a great experience.

How afraid we were of what could happen.

The wars when my dad would put the black tapes on the window.

Me and my sister, I would sleep right by the window.

I had a yellow Porsche poster above my bed.

My dad would come and tape the windows on.

I would ask, why are you taping the windows?

He says, because the blast is not going to cause the windows to go out if we tape them.

So you would come to every house.

It's black tape windows there.

I sympathize with these kids that just want to be free.

I sympathize with these parents that are there that just want to do the right thing for their kids.

That's hard.

Very hard.

And I'd love nothing more for them to have similar liberties and freedoms that we have here in America.

But unfortunately, as long as IRGC is in power, that'll never happen to them.
