0:00.0	Welcome back to part two of this incredible conversation. Without further ado, here we go.
0:08.1	All right. You brought up a couple times the idea of being divided. How divided do you think Iran is?
0:15.0	So it's, I think about what America looks like from the outside. And if you look at Minnesota, it looks like we're just bitterly divided.
0:22.6	If you're walking down the average street, though, you know, it looks fine.
0:25.8	You can look at one protest and it's, uh, Iranians, Jewish Americans and

0:38.2	Um, and so you're seeing stuff come out of Iran where it's like, oh, pro-government people are

1:28.4	I don't know.
1:29.0	And I have to push back.
1:32.1	I have to challenge anybody who tries to say they know how that's going to turn out.
1:36.8	Because the person today who loves the fact that Kamani was killed, when their water
1:41.9	doesn't work in three days, they may not love the fact that Khomeini was killed.
1:47.3	Anything can change, right?
1:48.9	I'm a pro-U.S. person today because they killed the Ayatollah,
