Tim plays news clips of Iranian protests and argues America is always fed a media narrative of an oppressed population ready to rise up right before a war, and that American "rescue" always means bombing and killing.
- Tim questions how widespread Iran's protests actually are, noting they're being presented without context about the population size.
- Before every war, media feeds a narrative about people ready to organically rise up and overthrow their government.
- Tim describes a gym teacher in Iowa's breakroom watching footage of Iranians burning cars and concluding they've suffered enough under tyranny.
- The government then announces it will 'rescue' those people, which Tim defines as bombing them and killing a lot of them.
- America only knows how to rescue people by killing them—it's the only rescue method ever attempted.
- After the rescue bombing campaign, people realize the rescue doesn't actually feel good when their family members end up dead.
- Most Iranian protesters aren't clamoring for the United States and Israel to install a government there.
