Chapter 1: What is the significance of Iran's war propaganda?
Yesterday I was talking to Jiang, the guy that's, you know, he made the prediction with, I said, so tell me what it's like, the climate in China. I said, what does China say when it comes down to COVID? He says China's position is that U.S. funded a bioweapon and they dropped it, and that's what the mainstream media said in China. I said, really?
Yeah, the state media, because he's in Beijing right now. I said, how many Chinese question that narrative? He says, you don't understand. That's not the culture in China. What the state media says, guess what you do? You buy. Because that's the culture that is in China. So in Iran... The state media says what? Do you know the state media?
There's a clip of a guy on state media saying, hey, parents, send your kids to get killed in the war, okay? Send your kids because it's the right thing to do. Rob, I don't know if you have it in the notes or not. I sent it to you. Maybe you have one of the two. One of them is very aggressive. The other one is here. Let me send this to you.
I just texted it to you, Rob, if you want to go to it and find it. But it's in my note. There you go. That one right there. Watch this. This is footage earlier, but look how they're speaking. Go back a little bit. Go ahead.
Mom, I know. Mothers and fathers, take your children's hand by hand, come to the streets. Do you want your sons to be a man? Do you like a hero? Send your children at night to the roadblocks.
Your child will turn into what? What was the last word? Men.

Chapter 2: How does Iran's state media manipulate public perception?
Turn into men. That's state media. That's state media. So you think a civil war is going to work in Iran like the way you think, even with weapons? The government will gladly kill their own people. Listen, the debate of if you're going to do it or not, we're past it. We're here now. If you want to get the job done, you either have to show up and get it done.
If you don't, you just emboldened Iran in ways we've never seen. Because if IRGC is still in charge, there was not a regime collapse, there was not a regime change, they're still in control. And if you think they're thinking six months, they can't wait for Trump to be out. Somebody else will come in five, 10, 15, 20 years from now. It'll be a 9-11 times 10.
And then they're going to sit back and say, well, let me tell you, we should have finished the job 20 years ago. They're not going to stop. They right now feel so confident. They right now feel so confident about themselves.
What does going all the way look like to you, like 10 out of 10 extreme in terms of trying to take it out all the way? Because that's what I'm stuck on.
I agree with you. I don't think there's winning here for him. I think whatever he does, I think if they go out and take out Iran, Republicans lose midterms, AOC is going to be the president in 2028, or Newsom. Newsom's wife, the more she speaks, the more she hurts him. She's horrible. But I think... Winning, you're winning for 20 years from now. You're not winning for the next 6, 12 months.
If the president is doing what he's doing right now for midterms, Then you're thinking marketing and PR-wise. You're not thinking long-term America. You're not thinking long-term war, protection.

Chapter 3: What messages are conveyed to parents in Iran regarding war?
Can you win this war long-term?
I mean, this is a war that's been going on for thousands of years, basically, right?
With IRGC, Iran used to be very peaceful under Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. They were allies with everybody. They got along with everybody. There was no issues in the Middle East when it was Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. Nothing. There was no issues. Go look at the death toll. Nothing. They weren't picking on anybody.
Have you seen the historical pictures of the citizens? They were not wearing hijabs. It looked like a Western country, and it was actually Hollywood people like Frank Sinatra used to go there on vacation and ski. It's just interesting to me because historically you look at the region, there's always been a conflict there. Isn't there always going to be a conflict there?
there's always going to be a conflict there. This is a different adversary. When you see clips like that, they're fighting a different war than the war that we think. I know. To us, this is an economic war. This is a war for our living standards and things like that. This is a different... you know, theological to these people.
To the extremists, which is the one out of five.
Yeah.
The 80% don't want this. The 80% are begging for this thing to be done. The 80% are begging for the IRGC to be gone. By the way, look at Gulf states. In UAE, you can't act like that. You're going to jail.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of regime change in Iran?
Crime is low in UAE. Crime is low in Dubai. Crime is low in the step south. They're not going to tolerate this behavior. So even the Gulf states have now said, look, we want to have a good relationship with the West. Even Turkey wants to have a good relation with the West. Iran is a different animal in a big way.
And if they continue and they keep getting stronger, like this event comes out and they stay stronger, you're going to have this issue to come up for decades to come, and I don't think it's going to slow down. I think they're going to get tougher. And, but again, short-term, I don't think there's a win. The win is only a long-term win, 10 to 20 years. I don't think there's any short-term win.
And the noise in media is so loud. The noise in media is so flipping loud. Just to see the power of the message. Every time somebody comments something negative, the first thing I do, is I go to their account and I say, no, this guy's real. He started his account nine years ago. And then I go, this guy started his account a week ago in April of 2026. You're a bot.
Chapter 5: How does the IRGC maintain control over Iran?
No followers. And by the way, it's not everybody. So it's not like you can cop out and say everyone's a bot. No, no. Some people are converters of the bot's influence that their brain got rotted to believe that it's happening. But my concern is this thing if... Ceasefire goes, Iran's going to come out and say, we beat the biggest empire in the world. And against Israel.
Imagine you're on TV and you're going to say, Israel and U.S. try to take us out, and they failed. We were right. And the Iranian people are like, oh, shit. Now what do we do? We have to listen to exactly what they're going to be saying now moving forward. If you thought they were extreme, they're about to double down on their extremes.
I don't think people realize how much of a stranglehold Iran has over the global oil markets. I mean, that was really the crux of why this ended up being as difficult as it was, because people woke up and realized, like, holy cow, they don't even have to actually drop bombs in the Strait.
They just have to threaten to drop bombs in the Strait, and you can shut down the global oil market to a large degree. And they're thinking deeply about the future. Financial Times reported this morning that in addition to the toll booth that they want to put together and Oman says, hey, I can help you with that. They want a dollar per barrel of oil that goes through the Strait of Hormuz.
That's the toll that Iran says it wants. And it doesn't want euros. It doesn't want U.S. dollars, petrodollars. It wants crypto. Why? Because you can't seize crypto later. You can't tolerate that. You can't freeze assets. You can't tolerate that if that's actually... What do you mean you can't tolerate?
Don't you think that's strategic on their behalf? Yeah, it is, but that breaks everything, though. What do you mean that breaks everything?
Well, now you can't freeze the bank account, and it's crypto. That undermines the paradox. This tells me that they're thinking a step ahead.
Guess what? They're going to be like, look, you guys in the U.S. are all about crypto now. Why not just pay us in crypto? Why are you not doing that? I'm telling you, you can... You have to respect a vicious, nasty, divisive, creative, critical thinking enemy. And these guys, these guys... By the way, even marketing, they've done such a good job. Even propaganda, they've done such a good job.
And to ask someone like this, many times when people think about Valuetainment, all they think about is a podcast, but it's a lot more than that. It's nine companies working together on an 11-acre campus. If I was to give you a virtual tour here, you'll see the HR department hiring, talent acquisition. We have full-stack developers that are working on Manect and Hiremetrics.
