I think that that is a really good message that the Iranian people are excited for change.

They're chanting, you know,

for pro things about President Trump.

Actually, I think what's really interesting, and I wrote the quote here, is Cyrus the Great, the original founder of the Persian empire, he said, whenever you can act as a liberator, freedom, dignity, wealth, these three things constitute the greatest happiness of humanity.

And that's what President Trump has essentially done 2,500 years later.

What an incredible moment.

Sure.

Well, the first few moments probably gives me chills to sort of envision.

I mean, I think we'll see the Persian people are very peaceful.

They also love to sing.

They love to celebrate.

And so I think that we'll see a big return of that within Iran and a really big gasp of relief that they've waited almost 50 years for.

In terms of Ayatollah Khamenei, it's hard to say what's going to happen in that, but I think that the Persian people are ready for change.

And hopefully they're going to go back to something that looks more like a democracy.

Again, Cyrus the Great actually invented democracy when he put together the Cyrus Scroll that's actually in the British Museum currently, because it can't even be held within its own country.

And so I think we'll see a return to democracy, hopefully, and lead to more peace in the Middle East.

Sure.

Well, again, I think it leads to peace in the Middle East and what that means for Americans here abroad or here at home is that it's going to be less instability within the world.

I mean, it feels safer, honestly, to be... I'm in Washington right now.

It feels safer, almost ironically, to be in Washington
