So yesterday, something peculiar happened. On Sunday, the president of Iran, an evil human being,

0:06.7

the butcher of Tehran named Ebrahim Rizhi died in a helicopter accident. And as I said yesterday,

0:12.1

I feel bad for the helicopter. It's a waste of a good helicopter. Ibrahim Rizzi, one of the

0:15.7

worst people on earth, presided over the deaths as a member of the Iranian pseudo-judiciary, the deaths of thousands of

0:22.9

innocent people, dissidents. He has presided over the crushing of all dissent from women, from

0:28.4

people who do not believe in Sharia law in Iran. He's presided over the deaths of thousands of

0:32.9

American troops, attacks on American allies. His proxy groups around the region have been involved in the

1:23.6

Between 1975 and 1979, Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge followed followers transformed Cambodia into

1:29.8

the killing fields, causing the death of an estimated two million of their countrymen in a brutal

1:33.4

attempt to transform Cambodian society.

1:37.0

Okay, so the entire statement, that was from Bill Clinton, was a Democrat, a moderate member

1:42.1

of the left, using the opportunity of Pol Pot's death to point out

1:45.5

his evils and the human rights atrocities that he had committed. And of course, historically,

1:50.4

this has been the way that we treat evil dictators and people associated with evil dictators

1:54.6

when they die. The world becomes a better place when they are no longer breathing. That was
