The DUMBEST Iran Debate Ever...

A caller joined my live to debate Iran. Six drinks in. He didn't mention that part until I asked.

He opened by arguing that Iran's nuclear program doesn't matter to Americans because they have no ICBMs. I'm a nuclear engineer. I told him: if a country can enrich uranium to weapons grade — 90-plus percent — they can build an ICBM. He said that was impossible for Iran. I asked him how a nation smart enough to split an atom couldn't build a rocket. He eventually conceded.

Then I told him what Iran has actually done to Americans since 1979. The Beirut bombing (241 dead. The hostage crisis) Americans kidnapped from a US embassy on the very first day the IRGC was in power, held for over 400 days. Over a thousand American deaths attributable to Iran since 1979. Forty-five American citizens in the past two years alone.

His response: "I'll tell you right now, Americans, they kind of deserved it."

I asked him why he'd been arguing with me if he thought the victims deserved it.

He pivoted to history. Said there was a pro-democracy revolution in Iran in the 1950s and 60s that Western governments crushed and that's why Iranians had every right to do what they did. He got the man wrong, the date wrong, the event wrong, and the ideology wrong, all at once. He said Mosaddegh was in power in the 1960s. Mosaddegh was removed from power in a British and CIA-backed coup in 1953 and died in 1967. He said it was a democratic revolution. It wasn't a revolution at all, it was a coup, and Mosaddegh had nationalized oil, not organized democracy. He said Western governments put it down. I told him: Mosaddegh was Iranian, not Western. He said it happened in 1956. Then 1959. Then "the 50s and 60s." I searched it live. Nothing he said matched any record anywhere.

After multiple live Google searches corrected him in real time, he said: "Google just doesn't want to tell you the truth about this."

He told me he learned all of this from a YouTube channel. Couldn't name the video. Couldn't name the year. "Something about Iran, it was like a ten minute video."

Before he left, he told me my channel gets 500 views.
