People are watching this split-screen situation of mass protests in Tehran and mass protests in Minneapolis.

And, of course, they're looking to see how a president handles each of them.

And while you really can't compare the substance of these two very important issues happening in different parts of the planet, you can, I think, look at the rule of thumb that Donald Trump brings to it.

And I think the rule of thumb is pretty simple.

If you're protesting against a regime he disfavors, he opposes, then you're heroes.

If you're protesting him or his policies, then you're illegitimate, you're radicals, you're radical left lunatics.

In the face of state-sanctioned violence, we have organized and protected each other.

That is what Renee stood for.

She died because she chose love and solidarity over fear.

And we will make sure the world never forgets her name.

We've been told that the killing in Iran is stopping.

It's stopped.

It's stopping.

And there's no plan for executions or an execution or executions.

So I've been told that a good authority will find out about it.

I'm sure if it happens, we'll all be very upset.

The reason I have to explain, and this is important, why they started to shoot at people, for one reason, they wanted to increase the number of deaths.

Why?

Because President Trump has said that if there are killings, he would intervene.

And they wanted to drag him into this conflict.
