00:00I think that there is, this regime needs to go. It is complete regime.
00:04But why does President Trump get to say who he thinks should be?
00:08He actually hasn't said who gets to be. He said it is up to the people of Iran.
00:13He keeps repeating that. It is up to the people of Iran.
00:16But when you're oppressed and you have an authoritarian government that is in place,
00:21how can we expect people to go out? They killed over 35,000 people within two months.
00:27It is so hard to see my family members want to go outside inside of the streets of Tehran
00:33when they know that they're going to be killed.
00:35I just want to give you a picture real fast of what happens when they protest.
00:40Standing next to me could be one of you, any of you, plainclothes right next to me.
00:44And then in two seconds, I will turn my head and someone like you has snatched my friend up.
00:51That is what that regime does.
00:53And I just want people to understand what kind of, you know, they are so barbaric that we can't even
00:59grasp it.
00:59I mean, you have internet cutoff, 35,000 dead within two months.
01:03What more can they beg for when they're writing on walls and graffiti, President Trump, help us.
01:09OK, all right.
01:10Kieran, Kieran, doesn't it show, though, Kieran, that there is a point there?
01:17I mean, if people don't have the ability to rise up, how can you criticise them for not taking back
01:25power?
01:26I'm not criticising them for not taking back power.
01:29I'm saying that I do not believe for a moment that the right course of action in that scenario is
01:34for a wanted war criminal
01:37and a lunatic who's trying to distract from ties to a paedophile bombing a country is the way out of
01:44it.
01:45You're a star or are we talking about Mendelsohn or Andrew?
01:48I'm going to finish my point because there's so much intellectual clutter in what both of you said.
01:52I think we need to untie it one by, unpick it bit by bit.
01:55Number one, you're either lying or you're not apprised of the information because Donald Trump did specifically say he wants
02:04a hand in who the next leader is.
02:05So what you said is not true.
02:07Number two, Saddam was a terrible guy.
02:11We all know that Saddam Hussein was an awful guy who tried to run a genocide against the Kurds in
02:16Halabjah in the early 1990s.
02:18We know that.
02:19And it didn't change the fact that the outcome in Iraq was an unmitigated show.
02:25It was a decade, two decades, three decades of total and utter Pandora's box, the most horrifying political outcomes you
02:33could possibly imagine, including ISIS.
02:35OK, so the fact that it was an awful regime didn't change the fact that decapitating it with no viable
02:42alternative after the regime had spent a long time,
02:44the Barfist regime had spent a long time bedding itself in, didn't change the fact that it turned into a
02:48failed state.
02:49And then out of those failed states, all sorts of horrors of a higher magnitude emerged.
02:53OK, that's the next thing.
02:55The other thing is, as I...
02:56Well, the difference is based on terrorism.
02:58If you keep going on about how awful the regime is, and I don't disagree with you necessarily.
03:05I think there are some things to question in what you're saying.
03:07Like, I don't think the 35,000 number has been verified.
03:11And I think we should ask for verification of those numbers.
03:14I don't think...
03:15Amnesty International said over 10,000.
03:16OK, all right.
03:17Wrap it up for us, Kieran, because I need to hand it over to Joey.
03:20Does it de facto mean that we support it if we question the number, ask for evidence?
03:24I think that's what any sane, rational person should do.
03:27But I don't disagree with you that the regime mistreats its people very badly.
03:31But again, why is Benjamin Netanyahu the right person to lead this cavalry in that case?
03:37Be one.
03:38You don't have to go on to.
