They have secret police,&#8221; Reid said, sitting alongside host Akbar Gbajabiamila and comedian Godfrey.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our regime is oppressing women, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/judiciary\/abortion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">taking away abortion rights<\/a>, taking away women\u2019s rights in like 26 states, some states where they\u2019re trying to have the death penalty for having an abortion. They also oppress women,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/americans-know-iran-our-enemy-its-time-establishment-politicians-agreed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>AMERICANS KNOW IRAN IS OUR ENEMY.

Reid argued the U.S. is &#8220;kicking women out&#8221; of the military and universities, making it harder for them to work in science after the rollback of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/dei\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) mandates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So we\u2019re marginally better.

That they do things because they&#8217;re just, they hate our freedoms,&#8221; Reid said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But it turns out there&#8217;s a lot of reasons Iran should hate us, we took their freedom.
