0:00.0	Hey, everyone, it's your old pal, Sarah Silverman. How you doing this week? You know what I'm
0:21.4	going to do? I'm not going to kind of voice any opinions or anything right now. I was going
0:25.7	to put this in my own words and like write about it, but really it's about just pushing
0:30.9	information out there. So Raj here got an email from an Iranian American comedian named
0:39.0	Sarah Fatemi. And did I say your last name right? Fatemi? Is that like a very Italian kind

1:51.3	has been sentenced to two years in jail for speaking out at the protests. She was recently
1:57.0	held in solitary confinement for 25 days for a joke she made about Iran's police brutality.
2:06.2	She's now in danger of sexual slash physical slash psychological torture and possibly execution
2:12.8	like the other 18,000 protesters currently detained. I researched and saw that you were
2:19.3	one of the producers of Sarah Silverman's podcasts. Given her large platform, it would
2:25.0	be so beneficial if she could talk about it. The only way to help the people of Iran is
