Even Jason.

Even J-Cal.

I mean, I think it's inevitable that there's a break in the country because of the effective sanctions.

The average income is about 200 bucks a month in Iran.

And the price of food is roughly the same as the U.S., maybe a little bit less than the U.S.

I mean, a combo meal at McDonald's, I just pulled this up in Iran, is four bucks equivalent.

So again, if you're making $200 a month and it's four bucks to go to McDonald's, costs catch up pretty quickly.

I think that ultimately is what breaks civil society is when people can't afford the things that they need and people have no choice but to stand up.

And an oppressive system, an oppressive regime can keep people down for so long until they're starving or they can't get access to things like medical care.

And these are the sorts of things that ultimately lead to these moments.

So it seems like it's an inevitability.

The United States has put a lot of pressure

on the regime in Iran, and it seems to be starting to break.

The key question that everyone's asking, is Trump going to act in supporting the revolution, which theoretically I would imagine would involve attacking IRGC sites, which are the revolutionary guard that

are sort of the internal security force that maintains the regime's control over the people.

And if they take out IRGC sites, will that actually result in the people being free?

And what's the transition plan?

This is obviously a very messy situation.

Reza Pahlavi is in Europe.

And he said he's ready to come back and he is the Shah's son.
