As tensions rise between America and Iran,

trying to make sense of this chaotic moment.

But if you want a clear, informed analysis,

then you have to turn to more reliable journalists:

Joining us by satellite, please welcome Michael Kosta,

Desi, President Trump says he wants peace,

clearly escalates the likelihood of a conflict.

If you want to reduce tension with a country,

and threaten their entire way of life as they know it.

-How does it deescalate things? -Uh, all right.

Okay, it's like if some woman wanted to fight you in a bar.

You have to stay calm, pour your drink on that bitch

I mean, if-if someone kissed your husband...

NOAH: Well, this is what I'm talking about.

until all life itself has been deescalated from this planet,

especially that bitch who kissed my husband.

Let's move on. Let's move on to Roy Wood Jr.,

Roy, please help us understand the timing around the attack,

and not in the cool Stevie Wonder kind of way.

in order to distract the population from domestic strife.

Because, remember, there's another big problem

Trump wants everyone to forget about back home.

the likes from which this country may never recover.

All the cats had human hands, and some of them cats was sexy.

He was supposed to be the next James Bond.

And why's he wearing a fur coat? He's a cat.

-He's already got fur, Trevor. -O-Okay, Roy.

You're obviously going through your own crisis.

Let's move on to Michael Kosta, who's in Iraq right now.

Going into Iran feels like a similar move.

-Bad leadership, no exit strategy. -Mm-hmm.

What do you think about a potential war with Iran?

Like, for example, just now my phone charger snapped off

would probably just buy another phone charger,

I'm gonna get it out with these metal tweezers.

M-Michael, that-that sounds like a really bad idea.

the-the war with Iran couldn't be easier.
