The documentary explores the complex history between the two nations, focusing on Iran's Islamic Revolution, the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini, and the subsequent brutal consolidation of power into a theocratic regime.

the French speaker is utterly deluded and justifies genocide
so men don't do AI research now? lol
The "news" media is sick and unprincipled. A pox on your houses. Cut the street theatre commentary with it's pious drivel on Biden's loss for words, incoherence, yaddah, yaddah. Read the transcripts of the speakers. Trump is clearly unhinged and mentally challenged. Biden's words on the page are clear and coherent. Slow and pauses are only if you are obsessed with media hype stylism and elocution fanataci.sm
'Banana republics' don't have the luxury of default.

Jeesh, could you do some fact checking? it's worthless to listen to this podcast if people are just going to spout their propaganda without any push back or fact checking.

I hate how this guy cuts people off so abruptly. he should tell them they have one minute for final arguments. the first interview was cut off just when he was about to say something that seemed important.
I have always loved this show...
