[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=5) I mean, you, Mr. Shapiro, are one of my heroes. [0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=9) Seriously, Mr. Shapiro, you've completely changed how we think. [0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=13) Well, thank you. Knowing when to defer to someone more qualified is a sign of intelligence. [0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=18) So you're already making progress. Absolutely. So explain it to us, Mr. Shapiro. [0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=23) Why do we need to completely annihilate Iran? [0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=25) Not that I need convincing, but maybe some idiots in our audience do. Okay. [0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=30) Annihilate is your word. I'm advocating peace through overwhelming force. Dude. [0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=36) Take war off the table, and you've surrendered before negotiations begin. [0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=40) That's not diplomacy. That's cowardice with a letterhead. [0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=43) Write that down, dude. See, this is why I'm glad your people control the media. [0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=49) Imagine if Muslims were in charge. Some guy telling us to fight a war for his religion. [0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=56) With you, I don't even have to question it. [1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=61) We have to be careful how we say- Dude, if Muslims ran the media, they'd probably make us feel bad for bombing Iran. [1:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=69) You never do that. And we're ready to do our part. [1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=74) We're going, Mr. Shapiro. [1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=79) Packed yours, too. I'm not going. I have a wife and children. [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=85) You've got people who love you. And sponsors, contractual obligations. [1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=92) You two should absolutely go. My contribution is making sure America understands why you had to. [1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=97) Write to me. I'll read it on the show. Our letters? [1:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=103) Time permitting. Dude, we're expendable. [1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=107) Hell yeah. Like Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham. [1:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=112) We die, you tell everybody why it was good. [1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=117) Think they'll put us in a unit with Israeli soldiers? [2:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=122) No, you'll be with Americans. Israel has its own security priorities. Good. [2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=126) Keep them safe. They've got wives and children, dude. [2:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=131) Hmm. Listen, Magathard's becoming a problem, and he doesn't even know it. [2:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=138) I'm not calling to discuss the problem. I'm calling to have it handled. [2:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=145) I think that podcast went well. Shapiro is awesome. [2:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=149) Dude, he trusts us so much, he's sending us to war by ourselves. [2:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=154) Terrorists! Get down! [2:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Wj0vuy4Iksxz/en/satirical-podcast-skit-shapiro-iran-and-the-media?t=161) The Fifth Element
