From the transcript

This week, when a foreign policy story dominates the global headlines, surprise is Venezuela. So, if we hear a war from us coming to you to discuss anything else, we best believe that it is really kind of urgent, because we see the views of Venezuela guards. Here we are, giving you a video about Iran.

You'll want to watch it. Because right now, the nation of Iran is on the brink of collapse. It is facing a crisis worse than the mass-up meanie riots, worse than the decades-long crush of international sanctions, and even worse than last year's 12-day war against Israel.

Cities are slipping out of Tehran's control. The Ayatollah is reportedly preparing to make a quick exit, and it's an open question whether Iran's economy or its water supply is going to collapse first.
