Summary

The world changed on February 28th, and this week, Clay unpacks the shockwaves. The launch of Operation Epic Fury has fundamentally altered the map of the Middle East, but while the headlines focus on tactical strikes and regime shifts, the cultural debate is reaching a boiling point. We start with the obvious question that some seem to be struggling with: How can anyone oppose Iran’s freedom? As the dust settles on the "decapitation strikes" and the fall of the supreme leader, we discuss why the path to Iranian liberty is being met with such strange domestic resistance. Then, we turn to the pitch. With the 2026 World Cup just months away, the Iranian Football Federation is threatening a boycott, and some are calling for their disqualification. We argue why Iran should play—not for the regime that just crumbled, but for the patriots who deserve to represent a free nation on the world’s biggest stage. Learn more about your ad choices.

attempts. And I think you can add in certainly the attempt to bankrupt him, the attempt to put

him in prison for the rest of his life. He's not doing things halfway anymore. He's trying to fix every single issue that he

0:59.0

sees that exists in the country and he's trying to do it in one term. And to me, this is what's tied in

1:07.2

with Iran and why it is so significant what's going on there.

1:12.3

For basically my entire life, I was born in 1979 when the Islamic Republic came to power

1:21.5

in Iran and kicked out the royal family and ended what had been one of the cultural flowers of the Middle East and

1:30.7

began Iran on basically a 46, 47 year descent into awfulness.

1:38.4

And if you go back in time and you look at photos, you look at videos from the 1970s in Iran, Persian culture embraced education,

1:47.4

to a large extent it embraced Western civilization. Women walked around in high heels and skirts,

1:54.1

men's war, men wore suits. This was a country that was incredibly successful.

2:09.1

And then the veil of terror descended upon the country.

2:16.0

And as a result, we are continuing to deal with the fallout from that moment.

2:19.4

And when I woke up on early Saturday morning and saw that we had began to bomb Iran,

2:22.5

and as I saw during the course of the day,

2:24.3

Saturday that we had killed Kameney

2:26.0

and around 49 others of the top echelon of leaders in Iran,
