The issue is, if this ceasefire holds,

then we actually are in a situation that is much closer to what we saw in Venezuela, which is they didn't get rid of the regime.

They didn't get rid of the party.

They got rid of the top of it.

They pointed a gun at number two, Delce Rodriguez, and said, play ball with us or you're next.

It'll be worse for you than it was for Maduro.

And the same could be true here.

If you get rid of...

Khamenei and who knows, Khamenei's junior seems to be in a coma right now, and you just keep taking out all that top level leadership, you leave the Islamic regime in place, then you avoid the fear of total chaos there where the genuinely bad actors might come in.

You cut off the potential of a flourishing, democratic, whatever, Iran, but you might have a rump regime in place that can maintain order and also deal on friendlier terms with the United States.

I am looking forward to welcoming Isabel.

But more important than any of that, I want to talk about our sponsor, Policy Genius.

I don't know about you, folks, but it's very difficult to track all of the things that I'm supposed to do.

I disregard most of my obligations in this world.

And you have a big obligation.

That's an obligation to your family.

OK, what happens to you?

What happens to your family if something happens to you?
