In this episode, we analyze the ongoing protests in Iran and the contrasting responses from the U.S. government compared to past administrations. Former chief of staff to the National Security Council, Fred Fleitz, joins us to discuss President Trump's firm stance against the Iranian regime and its implications for U.S. foreign policy. We delve into the economic turmoil fueling the protests, the potential for international support, and the critical role of information dissemination within Iran. Then, we delve into the unfolding protests in Iran and the international response to the Iranian regime's brutal crackdown on its citizens. Our guest, Ali Safavi from the National Council of Resistance of Iran, shares insights on the significance of recent U.S. support for the Iranian people and the implications of President Trump's strong statements.  Finally, former FBI agent Jonathan Gilliam discusses the latest developments in national security as we discuss a foiled ISIS-inspired terror plot.
