| 0:17.1 | Samadhi, his name is David Samadhi, and his younger brother in 1979 during the revolution like many. He was only 15 years old and he reached out to me, I guess he's friends with Greg Kelly too, reached out to me a couple of days ago, said Sid, I agree with everything you say, whether it's Mamdani, Iran, all of it.
