>> PEOPLE ARE ANGRY, AND I WANT
TO BE A TOTAL REGIME CHANGE.
AND THEY WILL NOT STOP UNTIL
THAT HAPPENS.
AND THE FEAR IS STARTING TO GET
PAST THE POINT OF FEAR EVEN.
YOU SEE MEN AND WOMEN HOLDING
HANDS, AND WOMEN WITHOUT THEIR
HAIR BEING COVERED.
YOU SEE WOMEN RIDING BICYCLES
WITH THEIR HAIR UNCOVERED.
I SAW A PHOTOGRAPH, YESTERDAY,
OF TWO GIRLS KISSING IN THE
STREET.
--
>> THESE ARE THINGS YOU NEVER
WOULD'VE SEEN JUST A COUPLE OF
MONTHS AGO AND AROUND.
>> NO.
THINGS ARE PUNISHABLE BY, YOU
KNOW, THINGS THAT WILL
DEFINITELY GET YOU ARRESTED.
AND POSSIBLY HAVE YOU --
>> EXECUTED --
EXECUTED, YEAH.
I THINK AT THIS POINT, THEY ARE
DOING THESE EXTRAORDINARY ACTS
OF COURAGE AND BRAVERY.
AND THAT IS WHAT I THINK WHEN I
SEE THOSE HOME OF --
BEING BURNT.
HIS CHILDHOOD HOME BEING BURNT.
>> YOU 22 YEARS OLD, YOU'RE
LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES,
YOU LIVED IN A ROD A FEW MONTHS
AGO.
YOU START AND THEN INSTAGRAM,
YOU HAVE OVER 100,000
FOLLOWERS.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU TO
WATCH YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR FAMILY,
IN OUR, ON PUTTING THEIR LIVES
IN THE LINE EVERY DAY?
IN THE STREETS, KNOWING THAT
THAT COULD BE YOU?
>> I THINK EVERY IRANIAN WHO'S
OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW
HAS THIS GUILT THAT THEY SHOULD
BE THERE, THEY SHOULD BE
PROTESTING WITH THEM.
AND WE HAVE THIS GUILT OF, OH
MY GOD, WE ARE HERE AND WE HAVE
SO MUCH FREEDOM HERE.
WHAT CAN WE DO FOR THEM?
AND, THAT IS WHY YOU SEE
IRANIANS EVERY WEEKEND,
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ON THE
STREETS, PROTESTING IN
SOLIDARITY WITH PEOPLE INSIDE
THE COUNTRY.
AND MY GENERATION IS LEADING
THIS REVOLUTION IN IRAN, THAT
IS SO SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE, WE
ARE EXTREMELY TECHS HAVE A.
AND THIS GENERATION HAS BEEN
ABLE TO REACH AN INTERNATIONAL
AUDIENCE.
THE TESTIMONIES YOU'RE
RECEIVING FROM IRAN, DESPITE
ALL THE CRACKDOWNS AND
RESTRICTIONS, AND SHUTDOWNS,
YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE FOUND WAYS,
TO CONNECT WITH THE OUTSIDE
WORLD.
AND THIS CONNECTION IS --
>> FREEDOMS ARE BEING DEPRIVED
OF.
>> THAT'S WHAT I THINK IS SO
INCREDIBLE, MOLLY OF THE
PROTESTS THAT HAPPENED OF THE
FEW DECADES, MANY FIDEL,
BECAUSE OF CRACKDOWNS, AND ALSO
BECAUSE OF TECHNOLOGY WAS JUST
NOT THERE.
RIGHT?
AND NOW WE ARE SEEING IRANIANS NOT ONLY IRANIANS IN IRAN
NOT ONLY IRANIANS IN IRAN
PROTESTING, HOW IMPORTANT IS
THAT TO THIS MOVEMENT?
>> IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THEY
CONTINUE TO AMPLIFY THIS
PROTEST AND FOR WORLD LEADERS
TO NOT IGNORE IT.
WE TALK ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT IT
IS, FOR LEADERS TO RECOGNIZE
THIS REVOLUTION.
AS MUCH AS IT WASN'T IMPORTANT
TO RECOGNIZE IT, YOU UKRAINE'S
ATTACK ON --
RUSSIA'S ATTACK ON UKRAINE.
REVELATION OF THE PROTESTS.
AS YOU SAID, THEY'RE BRINGING
DOWN THE HEALTH OF FUNDING
MEMBER.
OF THIS REGIME.
>> MIND BLOWING.
>> THEY DON'T WANT THIS REGIME.
THEY'RE ASKING FOR ANOTHER
GOVERNMENT.
THEY'RE ASKING FOR DEMOCRACY
AND FREEDOM, WE'RE NOT ASKING
THEM TO WORK FOR US.
>> IF YOU'RE UNSURE AS TO
WHETHER OR NOT YOU'VE SEEN
PROTESTERS WANT TO CHANGE IN
GOVERNMENT AND COUNTRY, THAT
THAT SEEMS LIKE THE SIGNAL THAT
THEY DO AND THEY'RE BRINGING
DOWN HOME IN HIS HOME.
WHAT ELSE NEEDS TO BE DOWN?
WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY NEED TO
BE DOING?
>> I THINK GOVERNMENTS, ONE BY
ONE, NEED TO ECHO --
NOT TO NEED TO RECOGNIZE THIS
IN A REVOLUTION.
IT'S A REVOLUTION.
NOT A SERIES OF PROTESTS.
GOVERNMENTS NEED TO RECALL
THEIR AMBASSADORS, AND CLOSE
THEIR EMBASSIES THAT ARE IN
IRAN.
AND REALLY PUT TO SHAME THIS
REGIME, IN A VERY PUBLIC WAY
THE REGIME NEEDS TO FEEL THE
SHAME --
>> WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?
PUTTING TO SHAME THE REGIME?
>> I THINK, YOU KNOW, FREEZING
ASSETS OF MEMBERS OF THE REGIME
WHO ARE LIVING --
THERE ARE MEMBERS OF THE REGIME
LIVING HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN VISAS.
THESE VISAS NEED TO BE
RECALLED.
AND JUST AS PRESIDENT MACRON
DID, LAST WEEK, HE STOOD BY
IRANIAN WOMAN WHO ARE, WHO HAVE
BEEN PART OF THIS REVOLUTION.
HE RECOGNIZE THIS AS A
REVOLUTION.
AND I THINK GOVERNMENTS, ONE BY
ONE, NEED TO DO THAT.
ALL EYES RIGHT NOW ARE ON WHAT
IS HAPPENING, THIS COMING
THURSDAY.
AT THE UN.
AND, 47 MEMBER STATES NEED TO
VOTE TO, AT THE VERY BASIC
MINIMUM, TRIGGER AN
INVESTIGATIVE MECHANISM INTO
THE HUMAN RIGHTS CRIMES THAT
ARE HAPPENING IN IRAN, BY THIS
REGIME.
>> AFTER YOU'RE DONE IN THE
STUDIO, YOU'RE HEADING TO THE
PROTEST IN LOS ANGELES THAT ARE
HAPPENING, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO
STANDBY STAND SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH
IRANIANS IN LOS ANGELES, MEN,
WOMEN, IN SOLIDARITY?
>> I'VE NEVER SEEN IRANIANS
UNIFIED THIS BEAUTIFULLY.
AND THAT IS A LOT.
THAT'S A LOT.
THIS REGIME HAS DROVE OUT A LOT
OF IRANIANS FROM THIS COUNTRY
AND NOW THEY ARE RISING UP
OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY, AND FOR
NON-IRANIANS TO STAND WITH US
TO ASK THEIR GOVERNMENTS TO
TAKE ACTION, IT MEANS A LOT.
BECAUSE THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC IS
A THREAT, NOT JUST TO IRAN, BUT
TO EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD.
THEY ARE A THREAT TO SYRIANS.
TO UKRAINIANS.
TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY OF
AMERICA.
SO IF YOU ARE REALLY SCARED OF
THIS REGIME WE NEED TO STAND
WITH THE IRANIAN PEOPLE.
