"People say we're not fighting for oil. Of course we are. They talk about America's national interest. What the hell do you think they're talking about? We're not there for figs."

~Chuck Hagel, United States Senator, and served as the 24th U.S. Secretary of "Offense"

Joy Reid: Why did the Iran hostage crisis take place?

Brad Todd: Because fundamentalist radicals took over the government

Joy Reid: They overthrew the shah who we imposed on Iran because the Dulles brothers, one at the CIA and one at the state department, decided that the oil beneath the soil of Iran belonged to BP and belonged to us. And when Mossadegh, who was the leader of Iran, the democratically elected leader of Iran, said that we would like to audit BP because we want to know if you are cheating us or paying the people of Iran based on the oil under their soil. And they said, you may not audit us. And then we overthrew him and he wound up dying in prison because we decided in our arrogance as a country, got to own their oil.

Joy Reid was quick to correct conservatives during a panel discussion on “CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip” on June 24, providing a crash course in history.

“Damn she cooked them,” enthused one of her many admirers, who found the journalist’s candid, calm, and collected demeanor a breath of fresh air.

The former MSNBC host joined a group of heavy hitters on “NewsNight” to weigh in on Donald Trump’s invasion and bombing of Iran at three nuclear sites (Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan) on June 22.

Sitting on the panel were Republican strategist Brad Todd, CNN political commentator Ana Navarro, former Clinton national security official Jamie Metzl, and criminal defense attorney Arthur Aidala, whose notable clients include Harvey Weinstein and Rudy Giuliani.
