Analysis Summary

30% Low Influence

“Note the overt positive framing of Trump and Pahlavi versus past leaders, which affirms existing viewer alignments without hidden tricks.”

Ask yourself: “Whose perspective is missing here, and would the story change if they were included?”

Transparency Transparent

Transcript

What is your message to President Trump? >> Now, I want to show you the lead. This is the leader of the Iranian opposition. He has been in exile. His name is Reza Palavi. We have shown you videos of him before. He's the eldest son of the former Sha of Iran and he likely is the next leader of Iran. This is the guy that by all accounts when this war ends will go in and he will be the leader. And again, it will be different. Just remember Saddam Hussein falls in Iraq and yes, we helped with elections and all of those things and as I said earlier, it was starting to look a little bit better and you all remember the images of the painted fingers and they were having free elections and then Obama just cut and run and the place went to high hell. Obama also destroyed Libya and that place went to high hell. This is different. You'd be bringing in a beloved leader who the Persian people would want to follow and knowing that it has the backing of the United States. So there's something very different here. But anyway, here is Resa Palabi. >> What is your message to President Trump? >> My message to President Trump is that I'm here to echo and join millions of my compatriots inside and outside of Iran to thank him for having done and having the courage to do what is not easy, but intervene. And he will go down in the annals of Iranian history as the most celebrated foreign leader that changed the ball game and changed the world as a result. In January, President Trump said this about you. Quote, "He seems very nice, but I don't know how he'd play within his own country. I don't know whether or not his country would accept his leadership, and certainly if they would, that would be fine with me." You don't seem to have President Trump's wholehearted support. Well, first of all, I don't think that somebody in my position will ever expect to to have an official endorsement of a foreign government or a foreign leader. What I do know now is that millions of Iranians inside Iran and outside of Iran are calling my name. They recognize in me the person uniquely placed to play a role of transitional leadership. Not running for office because that's not what I'm doing, but to be a bridge to that destiny. >> All right. So Iran has a leader who is waiting to return. Right now America and Israel are doing the dirty work of getting rid of the bad guys so that the people can take over. And there you have the people literally ripping down statues of the Ayatollah and chanting BB's name. So something different is happening right now.
