How the Iran War Could Spiral Out of Control (with Sen. Ruben Gallego)

Published | Video Starts at 13:46

The guy's a son of a bitch, killed a lot of people, get it, and replace him with a worse Khomeini. And I know it's hard for people to understand that, but The Khmeni that we killed was actually more moderate than the Khmeni that's in charge right now.

(13:46–13:51)
