40 | Iranian Protests

Citizens of Iran are pushing for change within the regime. The problem: There is a real uncertainty about whether the regime can change. Some speculate that the regime will win and things may stay the same. Others argue that theory is not applicable to practice. Yet, if things do not turn out well, Iran may be at the verge of a complete disaster. In this episode, YuYu and Spencer work through the current status of the Iranian protests.
