We're in a bizarre situation.

Are we back at war?

Like you can't exactly unilaterally declare a ceasefire, but you sort of can.

I would just say that on this program, we cannot call into question the intellect of Jesse Waters.

I mean, that's just I think that's just beyond.

Counterintellectual indeed.

Well, Jeremy, thank you so much for this update.

Really appreciate it.

Thank you, guys.

I hope you're happy now.

This is an interesting one.

All right.

So on April 4th, the State Department celebrated a new set of arrests, issuing a statement headlined, Secretary Rubio revokes green cards of foreign nationals with ties to Iranian terror regime, announcing that, quote, the niece and grandniece of deceased Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Qasem Soleimani were arrested by federal agents, unquote.

So the two women are Hamada Soleimani Afshar, she's 47, and her daughter, Serena Hosseini, who is 25.

And they are, or they were, legal permanent residents with green cards living in Los Angeles like a lot of the rest of our Iranian American population.

Now, the idea that it's okay to punish two women for being related to a man who previously did battle with the United States when he was alive is itself absurd.

None of us are responsible for what our uncles do.

God help us all if we are.

But because Rubio made such a big deal about these arrests and this claim, it's worth asking whether it's even true.

So we reviewed Iranian birth records, identification papers, and other personal documents, including wills and other records.
