IRANIAN HOSTAGE CRISIS: WHO IS TO BLAME?
Episode description
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) decides who is to blame for the Iranian Hostage Crisis that lasted 444 days and left a stain on the presidency of former peanut farmer, Jimmy Carter. She is joined by actress Aimee Carrero, Fact-Checker Chris Smith and Producer Amanda Lund. Guest Expert Dr. Benjamin Radd (UCLA lecturer and expert on Government and Politics in the Middle East, particularly Iran) stops by to explain the Ayatollah Khomeini's role in the crisis and what the student protester's were demanding in the first place.
On the board this week: Jimmy Carter's Soft Heart, Oil, The Shah, The Students, Khomeini, Chase Bank, Paper Shredders and...Ben Affleck?
