He argues that saying "Javid Shah" is really saying "I am," not a slogan about one person.
Artin Fartobian presents the program as a direct line to the audience. He greets viewers and listeners, speaks in the first person, and checks whether the audio is coming through properly. The setup feels casual, but the energy is already restless. He says the show is in a late phase and asks the audience to keep listening and guiding the program. Messages begin to shape the flow, and the broadcast moves back and forth between commentary and response. He talks about events, what has happened, and what should or should not be done. The pace stays quick and reactive. He brings up prayers, magic, and the Islamic Republic as part of his political frame. He then turns to forests in Iran and says they burned before the events he is describing. Hirqani Forest becomes a major reference point. He links it to a film he saw a few months earlier. The film, he says, involved a woman named Hirqani and was foreign. He treats the forest as a place with energy, trees, springs, and links to the water of life. That association leads him into a longer chain of thought about city forces, books, technology, and people who entered knowledge through a missing half of a text. He references a figure named Tahrir Muhammad Ali and says the Islamic Republic imprisoned him. He folds that into a wider argument about law, psychology, and resistance. He also invokes Javid Shah repeatedly, treating the phrase as politically charged. The broadcast keeps stacking slogans, poems, and commands. He reads or reacts to Persian and English lines, then returns to the language of kings, soldiers, and national ordering. The tone is combative and theatrical rather than reflective. Near the end, he gestures to places that are on fire and reminds the audience that these things were already signaled earlier. He closes by thanking listeners for staying with the show. The final note turns toward victory, with a call for Iran's end and Javid Shah before signing off. The episode feels like a live political broadcast that keeps spilling into myth, memory, and performance.

A loud, unruly broadcast that turns repetition into pressure and momentum.
