| 0:00.0 | 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 |
| 0:38.3 | deaths of thousands of human beings, including, of course, the 1,200 Jews who were murdered on |

| 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 |
