Tim dismantles Netanyahu's claim that Iran has chemical/biological weapons as a rehash of 2003 Iraq rhetoric, mocking Greta Van Susteren's oddly specific unprompted question about it, and riffing that Iran's chemical weapons are supposedly headed to Nantucket.

In this bit10 moments
  • Netanyahu warns Iran has chemical weapons despite nuclear setbacks, echoing 2003 Iraq invasion rhetoric.
  • Tim predicts the claims will escalate from chemical weapons to EMP weapons to blaming Iran for flash mobs looting Newport Beach.
  • Greta Van Susteren asks Netanyahu an unprompted question about biological and chemical weapons.
  • Tim breaks down how Greta tosses Netanyahu a softball question completely out of nowhere, as if she stayed up at night worrying about these weapons.
  • No one actually lies awake worried about biological and chemical weapons unless they have a psychological disorder, Tim argues.
  • Greta's phrasing—"the thing that frightens me and that nobody ever talks about"—sounds like his schizophrenic mother.
  • Netanyahu was clearly ready with his answer and probably received the list of submitted questions beforehand.
  • Netanyahu confirms Iran definitely has chemical weapons without hesitation.
  • Tim mocks Netanyahu's logic that Iran will chant chemical weapons into the country because of their rhetoric.
  • Tim questions whether chanting "death to America" is actually the standard of proof for military threat.
