The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

That's poor from Saddam Hussein, isn't that disappointing?

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

It has to be said that the Iranians turn that on its head and they say that there are three things that God should not have created, flies, Jews and Arabs.

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

So it goes two ways.

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

The praying really kicks in a bit later, doesn't it?

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

It does, yeah.

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

But I imagine right from the beginning he's a great man for a cardigan.

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

Totally he is, yeah.

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

I cannot imagine Donald Trump wearing a cardigan.

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

God, as filled with love as are the American people.

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

Yeah.

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

There's a recipe for a happy administration.

The Rest Is History

So he begins, doesn't he, looking very kind of sunny, full of the optimism of the South and all that.

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

And very rapidly he comes to look grey and haggard and worn.

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

Yeah, because he's not sleeping.

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

And in the long run, this isn't going to look good when he goes for a run.

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)

Oh, yes.

The Rest Is History
636. Revolution in Iran: Fall of the Shah (Part 1)
