Discussion on U.S. Politics and Iran

Netanyahu and Ben Gavir and who's the ambassador there?

The U S. ambassador is called Mike Huckabee.

Mike Huckabee, excuse me for laughing.

But yeah, crazy Christian Zionists. And you know what?

And maybe at the bottom of it all,

they're all waiting for the coming of the Messiah. They don't care.

Well, Mike Huckabee obviously hopes it'll be Jesus because then he can go to

heaven with Mike Pence and the other Christian Zionists.

I'm sorry to make fun of that. No, no, no, I couldn't agree more.

That's not Christianity, just for the

record. It's not even a close facsimile of Christianity.

As I recall, you're a Christian, right? Yes, I am.

As I recall, Jesus threw the moneylenders out of the temple. Yes. Or tried to. Yeah.

That's probably why they crucified him. Braided a whip. There you go.

And I'm not making a joke about that.

That bit of history really impresses me because usury is, you know,

one of the things that the U S.

government and other governments, particularly the Israeli government,

have got against Iran is that lending money for profit is illegal

in Iran. Did you know that? Really?

I didn't know that. It's against law.

Usury is against the law

in the Islamic Republic of Iran in Persia.

It's illegal.

Why would that offend other governments?

Yeah, it's the

basis of the way everything works is that you get control over a government

by lending them money.

And once you've lent them the money or given them the money, I mean,

don't look at me with your brow furrowed like that.

You've seen the Congress of the United States and the cash that they've

got from them.

Of course, I know what you're saying.

Again, I agree with you completely.

I didn't know that usury was banned in Iran, though.

Or I'd forgotten.
