Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 3106 - The Scott Adams School 03⧸03⧸26

00:00:00.300 Investing is all about the future.

00:00:02.400 So, what do you think is going to happen?

00:00:04.320 Bitcoin is sort of inevitable at this point.

00:00:06.840 I think it would come down to precious metals.

00:00:09.400 I hope we don't go cashless.

00:00:11.540 I would say land is a safe investment.

00:00:14.100 Technology, companies.

00:00:15.240 Solar energy.

00:00:16.280 Robotic pollinators might be a thing. 1.00

00:00:18.860 A wrestler to face a robot.

00:00:20.560 That will have to happen.

00:00:22.140 So, whatever you think is going to happen in the future,

00:00:30.000 Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything.

00:00:37.420 Like packing a spare stick.

00:00:39.160 I like to be prepared.

00:00:40.800 That's why I remember 988, Canada's Suicide Crisis Helpline.

00:00:44.700 It's good to know, just in case.

00:00:46.860 Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a trained responder.

00:00:51.080 Anytime.

00:00:52.280 988 Suicide Crisis Helpline is funded by the government in Canada.

00:00:57.480 Steve, the Texan, we're in like a battle.

00:00:59.420 It's always first.

00:01:00.060 Gracie, bookish. 0.62

00:01:02.560 How is Lang always first?

00:01:04.640 I'm telling you.

00:01:05.780 He wasn't yesterday.

00:01:06.720 Except yesterday.

00:01:07.640 Texan.

00:01:08.000 We'll never forget it.

00:01:09.520 Yeah.

00:01:10.400 Good morning, everyone.

00:01:12.020 All right.

00:01:12.280 So, you wondered who Punch Monkey was.

00:01:14.380 So, while you guys filter in, like, just enjoy this video and we'll explain it after.

00:01:18.860 But here's a little Punch.

00:01:21.320 Let me see.

00:01:24.200 Oh, I can't play the music.

00:01:25.640 It's going through my ears.

00:01:27.180 Well, let's just look at him.

00:01:28.280 Let's enjoy him.

00:01:30.500 This is little Punch.

00:01:31.500 I wish the music.

00:01:35.640 It's a little monkey that was abandoned, right?

00:01:39.400 Or something by his mom?

00:01:40.240 His mom abandoned him.

00:01:42.320 It really wasn't completely her fault, I have to say.

00:01:45.100 This is in Japan.

00:01:46.520 So, he was very sad and being bullied by the other monkeys.

00:01:50.800 So, they gave him this little stuffed animal, which you can see.

00:01:54.080 He's like, don't touch my stuffed animal.

00:01:55.640 This is all I have.

00:01:57.380 I take it everywhere with me.

00:01:59.020 I love it.

00:02:00.180 It's my mom.

00:02:01.420 Look at him dragging it around.

00:02:03.900 I love it.

00:02:04.900 I feel safe with it.

00:02:06.200 Why won't anyone be my friend?

00:02:07.920 Where'd my mom go?

00:02:10.820 Okay, right?

00:02:11.720 So, look at him.

00:02:12.840 Oh, I'm going to wrap his arm around me.

00:02:16.520 And now this is his human.

00:02:18.280 See him jumping on the man there?

00:02:20.140 He loves that guy.

00:02:20.980 This is his human.

00:02:22.160 Yep.

00:02:23.220 So, he's like wandering around.

00:02:25.520 He would hide in this little hole if he got nervous, but the stuff he couldn't fit in with him.

00:02:29.660 Oh, look at the baby. 0.98

00:02:33.300 So, it goes on and on.

00:02:35.160 And now, I don't know how much more of this I'll show you.

00:02:37.740 Not much more.

00:02:38.280 But he's finally found some friends and there's some adult monkeys now that are taking care of him and grooming him and loving him.

00:02:48.640 And the whole world has fallen in love with little Punch Monkey.

00:02:52.500 Look, he's like, where's my stuffy?

00:02:54.680 So, that's Punch.

00:02:57.880 Ta-da! 1.00

00:02:59.400 I was looking for it to play it, but I can't find it in BJ's.

00:03:03.480 It's so good.

00:03:04.820 Post a lot, BJ.

00:03:06.260 Why?

00:03:06.560 Did somebody delete it?

00:03:08.200 No.

00:03:08.540 No, I'm looking through and trying to find it.

00:03:11.720 See, now he has someone to look after him.

00:03:14.420 You want me to find it for you?

00:03:15.920 I can find it.

00:03:17.000 And I might be able to share the screen, too.

00:03:18.640 Can you share it?

00:03:19.360 Let me see.

00:03:21.520 So, now Punch has a little troop that he's settled in with.

00:03:26.300 I know what I really want-

00:03:27.180 And he learned how to wave.

00:03:28.480 Didn't he learn how to like-

00:03:29.460 Gave a little wave?

00:03:30.560 Wave at the end when-

00:03:31.940 I think it was a coincidence.

00:03:34.300 I don't think there's any coincidence in that.

00:03:38.140 Good morning.

00:03:39.380 Good morning.

00:03:40.920 Welcome to the Scott Adams School.

00:03:43.860 So, we're just chatting it up.

00:03:45.400 I thought we'd give a little more time to come in.

00:03:47.800 And I saw people asking yesterday,

00:03:49.640 who's this monkey Eric is obsessed with?

00:03:52.140 The world's-

00:03:53.100 You guys, all right.

00:03:53.920 Here's a little tidbit.

00:03:55.380 And I'll introduce ourselves in one more second.

00:03:57.540 If you go to Google and you type in Punch the Monkey,

00:04:02.360 his little face drops down from the top.

00:04:05.140 That's the sensation this little guy is.

00:04:07.740 So, he's uniting the world.

00:04:10.040 He's also on that Roku screen.

00:04:12.560 When you go to Roku, they put the little monkey there.

00:04:15.060 I'm waiting for the feature film, for sure.

00:04:16.860 So, welcome.

00:04:18.320 My name is Erica, and we have our beautiful Marcella.

00:04:22.560 Good morning, you guys.

00:04:24.500 Our Sergio Hatless?

00:04:27.900 Yes.

00:04:28.440 No, I have a hat right here.

00:04:29.900 Oh.

00:04:30.420 Oh, look.

00:04:31.020 Oh, he has hair, people.

00:04:32.520 He has hair.

00:04:32.620 Let it go.

00:04:34.860 And joining is one of our favorite, favorite returning guest hosts.

00:04:40.440 We have-

00:04:40.800 Look, there's BJ Dichter.

00:04:42.540 Do, do, do.

00:04:43.160 From Canada.

00:04:45.120 Woo-woo. 0.89

00:04:45.900 From Canada.

00:04:47.200 Good morning, everybody.

00:04:48.480 Good morning.

00:04:49.480 Owen's off today.

00:04:50.600 He's got a news thing he's doing.

00:04:53.340 So, here we are.

00:04:54.360 Aren't we lucky?

00:04:54.880 So, please remember, Coffee with Scott Adams lives on in infamy.

00:05:00.860 That it's the same channel as this, and there's thousands of hours of that man's genius takes

00:05:06.860 on everything, which we are all, like, deeply missing right now, of course.

00:05:10.700 Like the monkey.

00:05:13.640 Like the monkey.

00:05:14.580 Like, you know, I mean, it's that little stuffed monkey.

00:05:18.320 It was us, you know, Scott was that for us, right?

00:05:21.100 So, now we need to, like, find our friends.

00:05:24.220 Scott, just so you know, Scott and I had, like, a three or four year long direct message with each other

00:05:31.840 where we just sent each other, like, animal videos, cats cuddling, especially if it was interspecies.

00:05:38.800 Like, if you could get, like, a little girl, a monkey, a dog, a chicken, a goat, a cat, a puppy, a pig,

00:05:46.480 all in bed, snuggling, sleeping, and she's singing to them, heaven.

00:05:50.660 So, I believe Scott would love this story, and that little stuffed monkey comes from Ikea.

00:05:55.480 But, anyway, I digress.

00:05:57.660 Oh, those.

00:05:58.440 Yeah.

00:05:59.400 And Ikea's only 10,000 of them to punch, so that was nice.

00:06:04.120 So, anyway, that was our little fun moment.

00:06:07.780 We have some news stories picked out for you, and we asked BJ to lead us today.

00:06:13.820 And I did ask if we could start with one story in particular because-

00:06:18.140 What are we missing, though?

00:06:20.600 We were-

00:06:21.280 Oh, yeah, we didn't miss it yet.

00:06:22.460 We're going to start with one story in particular in a second because we can't do anything without Scott leading us in the simultaneous sip.

00:06:32.780 Bree, take it away. 0.99

00:06:35.400 Hey, everybody.

00:06:37.220 Welcome to another day of Coffee with Scott Adams, which is, yes, that's right, the best hour of the day, sometimes even when it's not an hour.

00:06:46.960 Sometimes I'll be done in 35 minutes, and it's still the best hour of the day.

00:06:52.720 How do I do that?

00:06:53.580 I don't know.

00:06:54.380 I don't know.

00:06:54.760 It's just like magic.

00:06:56.360 But if you'd like to take it up a level, and you do, right?

00:07:00.680 Don't you want to take it up a level?

00:07:02.340 But before we do that, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tanker, chalice, a stein, a canteen, jaguar, flask, a vessel of any kind, except the kind that have holes in them.

00:07:12.640 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:07:15.700 I like coffee.

00:07:17.660 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:07:27.480 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:07:30.200 Go.

00:07:34.080 Ah.

00:07:35.560 Mmm.

00:07:37.880 Ah, that was good.

00:07:39.260 Ah.

00:07:40.320 Yes, my microphone's working better today.

00:07:42.440 You guys, thank you for letting me know.

00:07:44.220 It was defaulting to my camera and not this one yesterday.

00:07:47.440 Sorry about that.

00:07:48.720 So, that being said, the story I thought we would start with is just, it speaks to my soul.

00:07:55.820 BJ said he has a lot to say about it, and I can't wait to hear your take on it.

00:08:01.220 So, it's about the auto industry bringing back buttons and dials.

00:08:08.440 And I just want to laugh.

00:08:10.140 Like, Marcella's got one of those funky Teslas. 0.97

00:08:14.020 And almost every time we got in it, I'm like, how do I get in?

00:08:17.000 Like, I don't understand how to get in your car.

00:08:19.400 And like, I want to feel something when I'm doing something.

00:08:22.400 Remember when I was looking at you?

00:08:24.040 You were in the backseat, and I was looking at you while driving, and you were like, oh,

00:08:27.400 my God, we're going to crash.

00:08:29.000 She's driving, but she's like this.

00:08:31.500 So, where are we going?

00:08:33.180 I wasn't driving, by the way.

00:08:34.780 It was FSD.

00:08:36.260 FSD is full self-driving mode.

00:08:39.000 Literally.

00:08:39.620 She's just sitting there, and the car's like accelerating, stopping, weaving.

00:08:43.600 And I'm like, oh, my God.

00:08:45.320 Like, she's not even touching the steering wheel.

00:08:47.640 So, I want to touch things again.

00:08:49.740 So, let's let BJ tell us about this story and his opinions.

00:08:55.120 Well, I think I'm of two minds of this, because I am a massive petrol head.

00:08:59.260 So, I like a V8 and a supercharger and a manual transmission.

00:09:04.860 But I'm also a techie guy.

00:09:06.460 So, I had a Model 3 press car about a month ago, maybe a couple of months ago.

00:09:13.440 And that's when, whenever full self-driving was finally released.

00:09:17.980 And, you know, a little context.

00:09:19.280 I spent a lot of time on a racetrack.

00:09:21.620 So, I have a lot of experience driving cars, motorcycles, and tractor trailers, as you know.

00:09:27.100 And I was blown away.

00:09:29.200 I realized, okay, yeah, this really is the future.

00:09:32.180 Because you can calibrate it to somewhat behave as the way that you behave in terms of the settings.

00:09:40.380 And it was, so that part of it was absolutely amazing.

00:09:43.600 I think the problem, or at least some of the challenges for people, and the industry is trying to figure out along the way,

00:09:49.160 is they made this move to screens because it's cheaper.

00:09:52.700 You don't need to engineer buttons and actuators and any of that stuff anymore.

00:09:56.020 Now, you just have one screen.

00:09:58.260 And so, repairs is cheaper.

00:10:00.580 Manufacturing is cheaper.

00:10:01.480 After all, well, repairs, the margins are greater.

00:10:04.160 But the expense is cheaper.

00:10:05.740 But the problem is, it's gone, I think, a little bit too far.

00:10:08.600 To the point that even the Chinese government, and you know the CCP really cares about its people.

00:10:14.920 The CCP has now mandated that electronic door releases are banned.

00:10:21.120 And because people are getting trapped in their cars and burned alive.

00:10:24.300 Because even though there may be a secondary hand release, we all operate under subconscious competence when we're in the car so many times.

00:10:35.100 We're not regularly using a door handle to release.

00:10:38.300 From the inside?

00:10:40.080 Yeah.

00:10:40.500 Oh, I have a handle?

00:10:42.720 You mean you don't have a handle?

00:10:44.560 No, no, no.

00:10:45.040 The point is, when people get, it's the effect of when people are in trauma.

00:10:50.400 They get into an accident, you're not thinking.

00:10:52.500 You're now in subconscious mode.

00:10:54.280 And your conscious mind isn't working.

00:10:57.160 So now, boom, there's a fire that's just started in your car.

00:11:01.340 You're not going to remember the subconscious movement of, you know, you go to press the button.

00:11:06.900 The button doesn't release.

00:11:08.020 So then you start to think, wait, wait, I can't open.

00:11:11.200 And you get tunnel vision and you start, you stop being able to think, wait, there's a secondary backup and whatever.

00:11:17.020 Because you're not using it regularly.

00:11:19.740 And as much as I love it, I am a big proponent of these electronic door releases.

00:11:26.160 They have to be banned.

00:11:28.600 Too many people are getting killed.

00:11:29.960 We've had it in Toronto.

00:11:30.880 Oh, wow.

00:11:31.380 Four kids were burned alive in a Model Y that had a pole, the Xiaomi Y7 or whatever it's called, that lots of people, not just one, but a lot of people are getting car accidents.

00:11:45.260 And it can bust and they get trapped in the car.

00:11:47.620 My friend just got trapped in L.A. in a Tesla.

00:11:51.040 Now that you're saying that, I'm remembering because I didn't understand until you're saying this now that she was in an accident with her daughter.

00:11:56.880 And she was trapped in the car and couldn't get out until somebody got there to, to, like, break the car apart to get them out.

00:12:04.920 Yeah.

00:12:05.460 And listen, like, I understand the perspective, like, I'm a big Tesla fan.

00:12:09.720 So I understand the perspective of Elon and Tesla is, well, people should be reading the manuals.

00:12:15.860 Okay.

00:12:16.100 Well, I do.

00:12:17.080 There is an emergency.

00:12:18.600 And that's the other thing.

00:12:20.100 You're slipping into a different state of mind.

00:12:21.940 You're panicking.

00:12:22.900 Do we all think clearly when we're panicking?

00:12:25.060 No, nobody does.

00:12:26.020 And I think that's the part that makes it scary.

00:12:30.440 Marcella thinks clearly.

00:12:31.700 I've been under a lot of emergencies, BJ.

00:12:33.760 So I do think.

00:12:36.080 I've been under war.

00:12:37.660 So I do think quite clearly.

00:12:40.040 But we might be the outliers, right?

00:12:41.960 Yes.

00:12:42.360 And that's the concern.

00:12:44.360 By the way, I am here with two inspiring, wonderful, beautiful women who have the most amazing hair in the YouTube online space. 1.00

00:12:54.660 And you don't think we've all noticed, but we've all noticed.

00:12:58.420 Really?

00:12:59.000 What, BJ?

00:13:00.260 I didn't even do mine today had I known.

00:13:02.940 Everybody has noticed.

00:13:04.300 I'm telling you.

00:13:05.060 So thank you for having me.

00:13:06.020 Whatever you say, then.

00:13:07.780 There you go.

00:13:09.520 I persuaded you over to my framing.

00:13:11.840 BJ, that was amazing, BJ.

00:13:13.880 Especially the part when you're like, everyone is talking about it.

00:13:16.260 Everyone's saying it.

00:13:17.520 That's a perfect Trump issue.

00:13:19.580 Everyone's saying it.

00:13:21.220 It's not the reason.

00:13:22.080 It's true.

00:13:22.760 Nobody can believe it.

00:13:23.480 It's true.

00:13:23.880 It's true.

00:13:24.780 It's true.

00:13:26.900 Save it, Sergio.

00:13:28.180 Save it.

00:13:30.940 Marcella, you probably love the more tech, the better, don't you?

00:13:35.520 You know, to me, the future, regardless if it's gas or electric, is full self-driving.

00:13:43.860 Like the car, it's self-driving you.

00:13:46.900 I live in the future while I'm having the Tesla drive me.

00:13:51.940 And I've had it since 2021, 2022.

00:13:56.320 So there's been a lot of iterations of full self-driving.

00:14:01.380 Sometimes it was dicey and I got to like take over lots of the times.

00:14:06.840 But now I really haven't driven since October.

00:14:10.120 I think it's the future in regards to putting it into cars that are gas cars.

00:14:17.120 And I think Mercedes is going to do that soon or has done it and it's going to put it on the market.

00:14:23.000 It just gives a lot more leeway in regards to, you know, people that have disabilities and can't drive or you're older and you can't drive or you're younger and you can't drive.

00:14:38.900 It gives like so many options while like what I really want my car to do is just drop me off, pick me up later, you know, and then and then be able to rent it out while I'm at work, you know, and it drives itself and makes money for me.

00:14:55.860 I mean, the future, I'm the type of person that grabs onto the future.

00:15:01.120 You know, I understand there's like older cars and people love them and I believe Tucker Carlson owns like an old red truck and he says that he'll never get like a new type of car because they can track you and all that.

00:15:18.880 I understand that.

00:15:19.740 But as a woman, I feel safer in a Tesla because it's recording everything that's happening around me.

00:15:26.280 Like while I'm parked, it's recording people that are near it.

00:15:32.760 So if you ever want to cause a crime, don't want to cause it around a Tesla.

00:15:37.560 That's all I'm saying.

00:15:38.500 Remember when everybody was keying the Teslas because of Doge?

00:15:41.440 I'm like, you idiot.

00:15:42.160 Oh, I do remember.

00:15:43.320 There's cameras everywhere.

00:15:44.700 I was called a Nazi for driving a Tesla.

00:15:49.320 I'm serious.

00:15:50.180 And they said that every time it blinked, it was like, see Kyle.

00:15:54.880 And I was like, that was at work.

00:15:57.460 Like how?

00:15:58.720 Yes.

00:15:59.420 Don't do it.

00:16:00.040 Don't do it.

00:16:00.820 Don't do it.

00:16:01.520 There'll be a screenshot.

00:16:02.840 Don't do it.

00:16:04.400 So stupid we all are.

00:16:05.940 Scott came over and he was like, I cannot move my arms over my torso or something like that.

00:16:13.680 He would say.

00:16:15.480 Well, my take on this is a hybrid.

00:16:19.320 Okay.

00:16:20.080 Because I think that I'm like, um, like, uh, BJ, I love a machine.

00:16:25.860 I love the engine.

00:16:26.700 I want to feel the power of the vehicle.

00:16:29.700 Uh, I want to know that I can fix it.

00:16:32.620 I want to know that if, uh, I'm alone, I can grab my tools and just take it apart and do it.

00:16:38.900 Right.

00:16:39.140 I won't depend on somebody for this.

00:16:41.700 Right.

00:16:41.900 I love that.

00:16:42.920 But I also love the way that Marcella's car drove around in California.

00:16:48.840 Right.

00:16:49.220 I mean, it was amazing.

00:16:50.120 It was like, it felt like your own private.

00:16:52.480 Yeah.

00:16:53.360 It was your own private, um, driver and on max, uh, mat, mat, max mode.

00:16:58.600 It drove like a guy.

00:17:00.140 I love that part too.

00:17:01.600 It drove like me.

00:17:03.660 Well, you drive like a guy.

00:17:05.280 I mean, which is a compliment by the way, uh, by the way, you both drive like, like Latinos. 0.98

00:17:09.920 I'm sorry.

00:17:10.620 I've driven a lot in Latin America.

00:17:12.500 You drive a little bit different there than we do in the United States and Canada.

00:17:15.920 Right.

00:17:16.620 Well, okay.

00:17:18.180 So the point is that if we can, if we can.

00:17:21.180 He did not respond to the accusations.

00:17:23.660 That's true.

00:17:24.620 I will.

00:17:25.340 I will.

00:17:26.080 I will.

00:17:26.560 But with the car, the best part about it is that if you can integrate both things, you know, you have buttons.

00:17:31.760 If you can have, uh, uh, that and also FSD, like, um, you know, I have, I just bought my car and I tried to get one that it was able to, I was able to fix it.

00:17:42.100 Right.

00:17:42.300 But now I would like to have FSD on it too, because I already have cameras on my car already, Marcela, even though it's a Toyota.

00:17:49.620 I have cameras all around it.

00:17:51.380 I saw you a video of the guy that broke into my truck.

00:17:54.320 Right.

00:17:54.760 So I have cameras that record everything all the time, but I would like to drive me sometimes, you know, I would like to like, oh, you know what?

00:18:01.760 I want to relax, kick back, push a button and say, take me there.

00:18:06.520 Right.

00:18:07.200 Um, and if we can do that, if a company can start selling kits, uh, to integrate into gas engine cars, you know, like in your, your car, Erica, let's say you, you go to the store.

00:18:18.180 They install this package, $5,000 package.

00:18:21.120 And now you have FSD in your car.

00:18:23.340 It doesn't matter what car is.

00:18:24.520 That's what I would like, you know, instead of, uh, having to be forced to go all computer or all analog, something in between.

00:18:31.540 I just want like a 1985 station wagon with the wood panel size.

00:18:38.000 It smells like that fake plastic vinyl.

00:18:41.660 Like when it gets hot, it gets really toxic smelling in there.

00:18:45.380 And when you want the radio, you have to like, just like tune it in.

00:18:49.460 And you know what I really miss?

00:18:51.300 I miss turning a key and I miss like on the cold day when it's like, it's not going to start.

00:18:57.300 And you like, give it, you pump the gas.

00:18:59.180 You're like, come on, baby.

00:19:00.220 While you're turning the key and you're like, you can do it.

00:19:02.740 And all of a sudden it turns over and you're like, yes, I love that.

00:19:07.400 Oh, and by the way, in BJ is 100% right.

00:19:09.760 When I grew up in Mexico, all the rules.

00:19:11.980 Oh, Sergio, what about what I just said?

00:19:14.200 Well, let me respond to BJ first now.

00:19:16.680 I know he didn't respond.

00:19:18.540 I will respond to you.

00:19:19.760 I was all emotional.

00:19:21.560 Yeah.

00:19:22.440 But on BJ, it's so true.

00:19:24.180 You know, when I'm growing up, all rules were just suggestions, right?

00:19:27.460 There was no way.

00:19:28.720 And I remember so well thinking like, you know what?

00:19:31.520 There's no way that somebody is going to invent a car that can drive itself in Culiacan, Sinaloa.

00:19:37.820 You know, there's no way.

00:19:39.080 And now they do it.

00:19:40.820 It's possible now to do this.

00:19:43.140 And it's something that you like, Marcela says, we live in the future now.

00:19:47.620 And Canadians can join us now, right?

00:19:54.160 As a superpower.

00:19:57.240 Just to add to your point, one of my first experiences in Mexico,

00:20:01.520 many, many years ago, I was dating a girl from Monterrey.

00:20:04.760 And I was down there visiting her.

00:20:06.760 And we went out on the first night.

00:20:08.660 I was out with her and her friends from university.

00:20:11.120 And they had, I don't know, a couple of drinks, which already I'm not comfortable with.

00:20:15.040 But they're like, it's Mexico. 0.88

00:20:17.660 Tranquilo, gringo. 1.00

00:20:18.740 It's Mexico.

00:20:19.780 We get in the car.

00:20:21.260 And they wanted to go get another bottle of tequila or a couple of bottles of tequila to go to a friend's party.

00:20:26.700 And we're driving through.

00:20:28.780 And they seem to be okay.

00:20:30.180 But I was not happy they had a couple of drinks.

00:20:32.420 But whatever.

00:20:32.840 We're all right.

00:20:33.800 And then there is a police ride inspection.

00:20:37.720 I'm like, oh, my God.

00:20:39.320 We're screwed.

00:20:40.940 So we go up.

00:20:42.160 We're driving.

00:20:42.920 And I'm thinking, like, we're in Canada, the U.S.

00:20:45.340 We're all going to jail.

00:20:46.440 And we pull up.

00:20:49.100 And she's like, the officer pulls up to her and rolls down the window.

00:20:54.800 Señor, blah, blah, blah.

00:20:56.120 And she gives him, I don't know, what was 50 pesos or something like that.

00:21:00.660 And they're like, how was that?

00:21:02.600 They're like, ay, gringos. 1.00

00:21:03.760 You don't understand how Mexico works.

00:21:05.980 That's how it is there.

00:21:07.160 It's normal.

00:21:07.620 And, Erika, your station wagon idea is like a primo idea.

00:21:12.640 I mean, people still ride horses.

00:21:17.000 All right.

00:21:17.580 I'm old school.

00:21:18.380 Listen, I just want everything to go back to the simplicity.

00:21:21.500 I loved it.

00:21:22.960 Trump is bringing back the 80s, Erika.

00:21:24.860 Do you see it?

00:21:25.500 Do you feel the 80s coming back?

00:21:26.760 Erika is ready for the throwback. 1.00

00:21:29.780 We're ready for Erika.

00:21:31.100 The hair is ready to come out.

00:21:32.580 Everyone, join me.

00:21:33.820 Okay.

00:21:34.080 Get your hairspray.

00:21:34.880 Let's go.

00:21:36.400 So, I definitely – okay.

00:21:38.180 So, you guys, I was switching topics.

00:21:39.800 A hard turn.

00:21:42.200 You guys, I'm even more confused than I was yesterday, which I openly admit, about what's

00:21:47.420 going on with Iram.

00:21:49.440 You guys, I am so – I'm just hearing so many different takes, and I ride the fence,

00:21:57.440 you guys.

00:21:57.920 Like, I always point out how I'm a Libra.

00:21:59.820 I can see both sides of every situation.

00:22:02.340 I really can.

00:22:03.940 And I am so confused.

00:22:06.220 Like, sometimes I hear people like, well, we had to do it, you know, because of X, Y,

00:22:10.440 Z.

00:22:10.940 And then the other people are like, well, X, Y, Z isn't even reality, and maybe it's because

00:22:16.640 of these reasons.

00:22:17.360 And so, I don't know.

00:22:19.460 I feel the pain on both sides, you guys.

00:22:22.420 And I'm hoping someone can make more sense now that some time has passed and we've had

00:22:27.780 time to, like, read news and watch stories, see what's happening.

00:22:31.860 I know there's more attacks.

00:22:33.160 And you know what?

00:22:34.120 Six Americans have died.

00:22:36.440 Six of our military men or women have died.

00:22:41.920 I don't know who they are yet.

00:22:43.540 And it's just like, what are we doing?

00:22:45.320 Like, is this, is, is it necessary?

00:22:48.500 Can, can maybe, I want to ask BJ first, if you could give me a take on what you think.

00:22:54.260 And for someone like me, or maybe other people in the chat who just don't know what to make

00:22:59.040 of it, what do you, what are your thoughts?

00:23:00.620 Every family tree holds extraordinary stories, especially those of the women who shaped who

00:23:06.520 we are.

00:23:31.460 Yeah, it's, there's, there's a lot to unpack there, but I'll, I'll try to figure out the

00:23:37.380 most simple way to, to explain it.

00:23:39.900 Um, the reason people are getting confused is because of this intentional and deceptive

00:23:45.140 propaganda war on, on both sides, and particularly from the adversaries of the West that have

00:23:51.600 become a particular problem for us for many years.

00:23:55.120 And I've seen it in politics as they embed themselves into our politics, as you know, with

00:24:00.020 your, you're now mayor of New York.

00:24:02.740 There was a post I responded to, and this is a perfect example of kind of where it starts

00:24:07.680 and how it spreads out, and then I'll give just a little bit more context to help clarify

00:24:11.560 that.

00:24:12.640 Uh, it's from somebody named Melissa Wong, uh, who is responding to, uh, the Iranian women 0.98

00:24:18.980 who are dancing and celebrating.

00:24:20.880 Oh, yeah.

00:24:21.760 In the Middle East.

00:24:23.280 Now she is, um, does something in messaging of, for the Mises Institute.

00:24:28.040 And her comment was, and this is a libertarian think tank. 0.54

00:24:33.920 Has anyone else noticed that the Iranian women celebrating, uh, videos are all women that

00:24:40.200 dress like hookers. 1.00

00:24:42.640 That is not the philosophy of libertarianism and freedom.

00:24:47.540 That is the philosophy of the other side.

00:24:51.000 That is a perfect indicator of political entryism.

00:24:55.260 Adversaries, adversaries with foreign money, embedding themselves in organizations and think

00:25:01.680 tanks and NGOs and political parties to brainwash people in the West.

00:25:06.980 And I've, I've seen this for decades.

00:25:09.900 Um, that is the strategies called political entryism.

00:25:13.100 And the biggest purveyor of political entryism is the MSA, the Muslim Student Association, which

00:25:19.980 is the first above ground Muslim Brotherhood organization in existence in the Western world.

00:25:26.940 They started in the 1960s.

00:25:28.740 And one of their first objectives and mandates, as they told to activists for Israel, said,

00:25:34.400 we're going to turn the world Zionism into a swear word. 0.70

00:25:39.340 Well, what have they done now?

00:25:40.660 They have.

00:25:40.980 And it's, it's interesting that why do you think like they're active on a thousand campuses

00:25:48.400 in the United States and Canada, where my business was on the university, university campus, we

00:25:55.180 had an MSA as well.

00:25:57.120 Why do you think there's all these white girls who are converting and doing TikTok videos? 1.00

00:26:03.320 You think that's their opinion?

00:26:05.420 That's an assigned opinion.

00:26:06.980 That's what, uh, Scott Adams warned about.

00:26:09.600 We see a lot of this here.

00:26:10.680 We have a mosque outside of Toronto in an area called Mississauga, where 85% of the worshipers

00:26:17.360 are converts.

00:26:18.860 So there used to be, you know, Richard Williamson.

00:26:22.220 Now it's Yusuf Mohammed Mohammed Ahmed, you know?

00:26:26.160 Um, and the worst part is the converts, like all people who find a new philosophy that completely 0.97

00:26:33.960 changes their worldview, they become the most extreme interpretation of that new ideology.

00:26:40.640 Happens in the other direction as well.

00:26:42.200 When people become ex-Muslim, they become either extreme Christians, I don't mean that

00:26:47.200 in a negative way, or extreme atheists, right?

00:26:50.380 That's just how human beings are wired.

00:26:53.040 And it's so, like another indicator, so Hajj Wahaj, who runs the Brooklyn Mosque, the extremist 0.98

00:26:59.720 mosque, he's a convert from Jamaica, and his kid was the one who was arrested in that New

00:27:06.020 Mexico, uh, training compound.

00:27:08.140 Remember that?

00:27:08.800 Wow.

00:27:09.920 That was his son.

00:27:10.960 And by the way, guess who has, has been the money and propping up your new mayor of New

00:27:16.540 York?

00:27:17.020 The very same guy, Sir Hajj Wahaj.

00:27:20.000 So when you hear all the Jewish conspiracy stuff on the other side, the other side, that's

00:27:25.080 the Duganist reframe to try to brainwash people in the West, because the goal of them is just 0.66

00:27:32.160 to cause infighting within the West.

00:27:34.760 That's all they're trying to do.

00:27:36.560 And they're succeeding because people don't really have a good frame of the other side

00:27:40.840 of the world, uh, particularly with Israel.

00:27:42.700 I'm often critical of them for having the worst ability to run public relations and explain

00:27:50.180 their case to the world.

00:27:52.120 Um, I think that's, that's really what's, what's causing all of it.

00:27:55.600 Like, does that, is that helpful?

00:27:57.080 Yeah.

00:27:57.540 I, I, um, I mostly had people agreeing with me yesterday.

00:28:03.280 Like, you know, just like, I'm glad that you're, you know, saying what you're saying,

00:28:06.720 because I feel like, you know, I'm the age, like I lived through nine 11, like right there,

00:28:14.120 like right there, the smoke came over my house.

00:28:16.900 I know many people that died.

00:28:19.320 It was like, I'll never forget it.

00:28:21.680 And I'll never forget the brainwashing that started.

00:28:24.820 I I'm going to get a little sign that says, this is my personal opinion.

00:28:28.080 Okay.

00:28:29.020 This is my personal opinion for anybody who's going to have a comment about it.

00:28:33.780 But I, I, I'm very aware.

00:28:37.440 I mean, I noticed the brainwashing starting right away.

00:28:40.020 They're like, no, you have to be nice to these people.

00:28:42.080 And I'm like, first of all, I'm nice to anyone who's nice.

00:28:45.000 Like, you don't have to tell me to be nice to a group of people.

00:28:47.700 I'm nice to people.

00:28:49.500 But when you're starting to tell me this particular group, no matter what happens, you get a pass,

00:28:56.380 they get a pass and you can't say anything or you're a, whatever name you want to call

00:29:02.440 me, like, I don't get, I mean, does anyone not remember sticks and stones?

00:29:05.600 Like get a grip, who cares what people call you?

00:29:08.900 So I just was like, you know, yesterday when I was speaking about how I felt about, I guess

00:29:15.740 the word is Islamism that people want me to say and not Islam.

00:29:22.200 I don't know.

00:29:23.020 I don't know.

00:29:23.620 I, I, I don't know the difference you guys.

00:29:25.280 Okay.

00:29:25.500 Like, I feel like we're all intelligent enough to know what I'm talking about.

00:29:30.560 Yes.

00:29:31.440 There's good people in every group and not everybody, blah, blah, blah.

00:29:35.080 Okay.

00:29:35.720 That being said.

00:29:37.240 So I'm listening to what you're saying.

00:29:39.800 I'm seeing what you're saying.

00:29:41.980 Like, I see what's happening in New York.

00:29:44.000 I see what's happening in politics.

00:29:45.860 I see people strategically being put in place.

00:29:49.040 I see what's going on.

00:29:50.260 Um, so, you know, for the people that the, it was just a few people that were like, oh,

00:29:57.100 Erica, you know, she's a, this or that.

00:29:59.700 Was I far off in what I was saying in your opinion?

00:30:03.560 Uh, no.

00:30:04.460 So a couple, so first a couple of things, uh, you mentioned nine 11.

00:30:08.040 Uh, there are many of us who understand the middle East and how it works.

00:30:12.800 Uh, many of us were obviously were shocked, but we also thought finally, finally the Americans 0.93

00:30:19.880 will understand what Israel goes through and they did for a little while.

00:30:23.500 And then they seem to have forgotten because of this, these never ending, uh, propaganda

00:30:28.540 campaigns from the other side, I think in terms of what you were trying to articulate

00:30:32.500 yesterday, uh, you know, and this is kind of the hypnotist frame is understanding for

00:30:37.520 certain people, different words are paint, are painted words for some people.

00:30:41.260 They are, and some people they're not.

00:30:43.500 And we also have this cultural clash between collectivism and individualism.

00:30:48.200 The red green Alliance, the con, the communists and the Islamists, I don't say Muslim, individual 1.00

00:30:54.280 Muslims, but Islamists, they're both collectivists where us in the Western world, we are individualists.

00:31:00.320 And we look at the, each individual person and that is clashing.

00:31:04.180 And that's the messaging we get from, that's how you can identify somebody is, I call them

00:31:09.540 a proto commie.

00:31:10.880 Uh, when they say all the Jews do X, that's a communist, that's communist framing.

00:31:15.180 When somebody says all X group does this, when you define people's characteristics by their

00:31:21.460 group identity, that's communist framing of the world.

00:31:25.560 And I think that's why some people get really upset when they hear, you know, Islam doesn't, 0.95

00:31:30.920 um, integrate with the West, but there's, it's a lot more nuanced than that because there's

00:31:36.400 an ideology that all the, you know, you have the great religions of the world.

00:31:41.640 You have Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and well, the Jews, because they control everything 1.00

00:31:49.440 apparently.

00:31:50.060 That's what I keep getting told, even though there's like 14 million of them.

00:31:53.680 Um, but the, the point is that they struggle with the distinction because like even Imam 0.99

00:32:01.040 Tawhidi, who I'm friends with, who is, uh, I think he's vice chair of the global council

00:32:06.640 of Imams and he is an anti-radical.

00:32:09.720 He's one of the many people within that community that are trying to fight the Islam, the extremists, 1.00

00:32:16.240 the Islamists.

00:32:16.840 But as he says, don't tell me my religion is a religion of peace.

00:32:21.660 It's a religion of strength and war.

00:32:24.560 That doesn't mean I wish ill on people.

00:32:27.320 We live in a modern world, but the Islamists, those are the fanatics. 1.00

00:32:32.560 Those are the ones who are literalists, whereas people who may be individual Muslims, like 0.94

00:32:39.080 people who are individual Jews, individual Christians, everybody cherry picks their religion. 0.89

00:32:44.760 They take what they like.

00:32:46.240 They ignore what they don't.

00:32:48.300 And the way you distinguish that amongst Islam is the very important distinction in language,

00:32:54.620 which is the Islamists are the fanatics that is ISIS and Muslims, individual Muslims have 0.96

00:33:02.300 a whole spectrum of different opinions.

00:33:04.340 And it's very, I think it's very important to distinguish between the two, because if

00:33:08.980 not, if we group all of everybody who is a Muslim is, you know, dangerous or antithetical 1.00

00:33:15.140 to Western values and individual that, that gives strength to the Islamists, right? 0.99

00:33:20.960 We use them as cover.

00:33:22.080 And the problem we have, the last point on this is, I mean, a lot of Muslims are like, 1.00

00:33:28.780 where do you get, where do you think we get the videos from inside the mosques of the

00:33:32.000 radical people that are saying things about the rest of us?

00:33:36.460 Where do you think we get intel?

00:33:38.080 Those are people who are Muslim who say, I came here to the West to get away from these 1.00

00:33:43.100 maniacs.

00:33:43.920 But your idiot politicians are making them mainstream by giving them political power and

00:33:51.900 by putting them on boards and school boards and placating to their victimization narrative,

00:33:58.400 which is a collectivist leftist narrative.

00:34:01.680 That's the problem.

00:34:02.880 The problem is us.

00:34:04.320 The problem is us in the West who don't want to speak honestly on the topic.

00:34:08.380 And we give power to the Islamist type of people and that, that when they really should be the fringe. 0.99

00:34:15.720 Yeah.

00:34:16.260 So that's what I was saying.

00:34:17.680 Like I, Muslims and then the people that practice the whole Islamist stuff that I was trying to 1.00

00:34:24.040 make a differential, a different, I was trying to differentiate.

00:34:28.040 Thank you.

00:34:28.340 Thank you.

00:34:29.540 And so that, yes, Sergio, go ahead.

00:34:32.520 Oh, no.

00:34:33.420 Well, you asked about Iran, about what's going on.

00:34:37.380 Yes.

00:34:38.200 Because the narratives that are going on right now is that let's go, let's, let's go through

00:34:43.540 the chase, right?

00:34:44.900 And there's a situation right now that people are saying like six servicemen or servicewomen

00:34:51.080 have died.

00:34:51.540 I don't know if the sex is right.

00:34:53.380 So it's like when people say like one too many and they say Trump said no new wars, right?

00:35:00.220 And the other is like, oh, we're doing all this for Israel.

00:35:03.180 I think I covered everything already.

00:35:04.860 Those are the main things that they, everybody's saying, right?

00:35:07.720 So let me start with one first.

00:35:09.980 Is this a new war?

00:35:12.040 Is it a new war?

00:35:13.560 No.

00:35:14.600 This is not a new war.

00:35:15.380 This war has been going on for a long time and nobody wanted to take care of it.

00:35:20.040 Nobody had the will and the ability to do it.

00:35:24.040 And finally, we have a team of people that was put together.

00:35:27.560 They went through hell to get to this point that they have been doing all this work for

00:35:32.020 years.

00:35:32.360 It wasn't just one day that Trump woke up and like, you know what?

00:35:35.020 I have an idea.

00:35:35.700 Let me start bombing Iran today. 1.00

00:35:38.260 It's not like that.

00:35:39.140 It maybe used to be like that before in the past, you know, with other presidents, but

00:35:43.300 that's not the case right now with this president.

00:35:46.200 This president, I'm thinking that he's the most engineer-like president in history.

00:35:54.160 He's the one that thinks more like an engineer than most other presidents when it comes to

00:35:59.760 the precision of his plans and how he keeps them to schedule and on time and ahead of budget,

00:36:08.060 you know, under budget, right?

00:36:09.400 He's always doing those things.

00:36:10.560 All these operations are measured so far.

00:36:15.300 What's going on in Venezuela?

00:36:16.400 Is Venezuela on fire right now?

00:36:18.180 No.

00:36:18.920 Venezuela is moving along.

00:36:21.240 We got people over there.

00:36:22.500 Oil is flowing.

00:36:23.780 Things are going on.

00:36:25.420 This war is not a new war.

00:36:27.460 This war is a war that started a long time ago and now we have somebody that is finishing

00:36:31.580 it up right now, right?

00:36:33.020 Does it help Israel? 0.60

00:36:34.640 Yes, it does.

00:36:35.280 It helps a lot of other people, but it helps America the most.

00:36:39.700 In the long run, Trump said it.

00:36:42.700 This is really fine.

00:36:44.380 Marco Rubio said it.

00:36:45.720 The old war order is gone. 0.96

00:36:48.740 This is a new war order and the USA is on top now. 0.95

00:36:53.040 That's it.

00:36:53.760 There's no other war power that can dispute our place.

00:36:59.580 So by doing this, it's not about just Iran or like Islam or this and that.

00:37:04.260 It's about war domination now. 0.79

00:37:06.920 There's no, the weapons that China provided to Venezuela and to Iran don't work, right?

00:37:14.760 Russia, nobody's jumping in. 0.65

00:37:17.160 A world war is when you have a lot of countries fighting a bunch of other countries.

00:37:21.400 You have like a bunch of countries fighting only one country right now, right?

00:37:24.940 That's not a world war.

00:37:25.940 So everybody has to like just chill a little bit, just a little bit, you know, and think

00:37:32.320 and see things from an overall view, the big picture of what's going to happen 20 years

00:37:37.840 from now, 15 years from now, instead of like just going back and trying to fix a problem.

00:37:42.480 So, and the other is like, if he attacked the nuclear facilities last year, why are we

00:37:48.580 going back, right?

00:37:49.860 That's the other one is like, were we effective?

00:37:52.060 Well, but also, Sergei, so a couple of things.

00:37:55.940 So the problem I have with the isolationist frame, and listen, I'm quite libertarian myself,

00:38:01.660 but like Millet, I am a nationalist libertarian.

00:38:04.860 And there's this expression or this saying from Parasides, which is just because you don't

00:38:11.880 take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you.

00:38:15.140 That was the lesson of the Holocaust. 0.95

00:38:18.540 And another way to interpret it is you just, you can't just pretend, oh, ignore your problems.

00:38:24.200 They'll go away.

00:38:25.240 Right.

00:38:25.500 And that's, that's, you may not like being attacked.

00:38:29.300 But, but he's not persuasive.

00:38:30.880 I didn't make a point.

00:38:31.700 He's not persuasive.

00:38:32.560 Just, just, oh yeah, sorry.

00:38:34.060 Go ahead.

00:38:34.260 Let him finish.

00:38:34.860 Thanks.

00:38:35.740 No, no, no.

00:38:36.340 Go ahead, Sergio.

00:38:36.980 Go ahead.

00:38:38.320 Just that every time we talk about Muslims, we never get anywhere.

00:38:41.920 That's what I'm saying, right?

00:38:42.880 Islamists.

00:38:43.320 We do the, not Muslims, not Muslims. 1.00

00:38:46.600 No, Islamists. 0.98

00:38:47.260 Sorry.

00:38:47.740 You mentioned, every time we talk about Islamists on the, every time we never get anywhere.

00:38:52.620 That's what I'm saying.

00:38:53.240 It's like, if we, if you have a, tell me a solution to this, we don't have a solution.

00:38:57.380 We just whine and complain about it instead of saying like, okay, how do we fix it?

00:39:01.600 That's what I'm saying.

00:39:02.180 Like, do we have a solution for it?

00:39:04.100 Or are you just going to like, uh, try to just talk about it a lot and get detritus?

00:39:09.000 You mentioned that going back for the nuclear strike.

00:39:11.060 Look, in 1980, it was an 80, 81, something like that.

00:39:14.840 Uh, Israel took out Saddam Hussein's nuclear capabilities. 0.63

00:39:18.920 Nobody talks about that.

00:39:20.000 And they were condemned for it, by the way.

00:39:22.640 Um, and then I can't remember what year it was fairly recently.

00:39:25.560 They took out Syria's nuclear capabilities, which is Iran. 0.86

00:39:29.840 Uh, Israel took them out as well.

00:39:31.280 Uh, and then Stuxnet, which was the U.S. and Israel took out Iran's nuclear capabilities. 0.51

00:39:37.880 And what do they do?

00:39:38.740 They get condemnation from people in the West and they're like, stop shooting yourself in

00:39:43.220 the foot.

00:39:43.540 Like we're, we're, we're protecting you guys.

00:39:46.000 But that's how advanced and sophisticated the propaganda war is in the West.

00:39:52.520 And by the way, the Islamists, as I recently discovered, you know what they're learning? 0.89

00:39:57.580 Hypnosis.

00:39:58.800 And they're teaching it to each other.

00:40:01.260 Very dangerous.

00:40:02.240 I want to get Marcella in here. 0.98

00:40:04.440 Yeah, go ahead, dude.

00:40:07.120 Um, I have no, you know, I, I do support Muslims.

00:40:11.400 Um, I have to say, I disagree with Erica and BJ on this.

00:40:15.520 Um, I support freedom of religion in this country and for them to have the ability to speak their

00:40:23.160 mind.

00:40:23.580 I mean, if my ideas can garner the support that they're supposed to, then I fail.

00:40:32.940 Uh, remember what Scott would always say.

00:40:34.900 The best idea is always in control.

00:40:36.340 Uh, I understand that there is terrorists.

00:40:39.920 Uh, I understand that there is extremists.

00:40:43.080 There's extremists in Christianity.

00:40:44.700 There's extremists in Judaism.

00:40:47.540 Um, but I just wanted to lay that out there.

00:40:50.660 Um, you know, and to be honest, you know, as an objective is and ran follower, I don't

00:40:57.040 really support any kind of collectivism.

00:41:00.020 I support individuals.

00:41:01.460 Um, but going forward in regards to Iran, I wanted to get your take in Israel because

00:41:08.220 we have a lot of, uh, people out there that are, you know, that were voting for Trump because

00:41:16.400 he was the, the president of peace.

00:41:20.080 Right.

00:41:20.520 And I've been told also Tucker Carlson, um, and his viewpoints, Candace Owens and their

00:41:27.920 viewpoints about this being, uh, basically Israel, uh, controlling our president.

00:41:36.120 So, and you can laugh about that, but they are sincerely believe that.

00:41:41.300 And that is optics.

00:41:42.840 And like you said, Israel fails at explaining their viewpoints.

00:41:48.120 And all we see is Bibi Netanyahu visiting Trump all the time.

00:41:55.420 And then we see this war, we don't see any kind of full on explanation by the president

00:42:02.220 Trump.

00:42:02.960 So I'm trying to play devil's advocate for those in the audience that disagree with

00:42:09.180 this war, um, and are conservative.

00:42:13.680 Got PC optimum points?

00:42:15.140 Visit Shoppers Drug Mart for the bonus redemption event and get more for your points.

00:42:18.940 Friday, March 6th to Wednesday, March 11th.

00:42:21.000 Valid in store and online.

00:42:25.420 Yeah.

00:42:26.920 So a couple of things.

00:42:27.760 First, did you notice what you did, Marcella?

00:42:29.800 I've been saying Islamists. 1.00

00:42:31.060 You said Muslims.

00:42:32.320 Yeah.

00:42:33.220 Right.

00:42:33.520 I never said Muslims.

00:42:35.060 I said Islamists. 0.99

00:42:36.280 Same.

00:42:36.460 Specifically fanatics.

00:42:37.540 And the difference is, yeah, there's going to be fanatics in all groups.

00:42:41.860 But what we've done in the West is we've given them the political power amongst their

00:42:48.720 community.

00:42:49.080 Do you know why, for example, uh, in Dearborn, Michigan, when Trump was speaking ahead of

00:42:54.340 the election, he, they, they brought up all these Muslim Brotherhood guys to take pictures

00:42:57.880 with Trump.

00:42:58.700 Do you know why they do that?

00:43:00.820 That's signaling.

00:43:01.820 They're never going to vote for Trump.

00:43:03.180 They vote for the other side.

00:43:04.180 But they're signaling to the moderate individual Muslims in their community, we're in control. 1.00

00:43:12.080 Step out of line and we're going to get you. 0.57

00:43:14.520 Which is why Muslims who tried to get away from that and come to the West, come to people 1.00

00:43:19.300 like myself and others and try to share as much intel as possible of the maniacs to warn

00:43:25.920 us to, and they say often to us, what's wrong with you white people?

00:43:28.900 It's the equivalent of saying, oh, all Colombians are narcos.

00:43:33.860 No, no, there's a lot.

00:43:35.040 There are narcos in Colombia and there are regular Colombians.

00:43:38.420 But what you're doing is collectivizing them.

00:43:40.740 And it's very important to distinguish the fanatics from everybody else.

00:43:45.820 I was responding for yesterday.

00:43:47.840 That was said yesterday.

00:43:49.440 Okay.

00:43:49.740 Fair enough.

00:43:49.980 No, I didn't say Muslims yesterday.

00:43:51.960 I was, I talked about is I, Marcela, I even said I talked about Islam itself.

00:43:57.480 Yeah.

00:43:59.100 Like I said, I'm talking about Islam extremism. 1.00

00:44:03.480 So I said, if, you know, if I think we're all old enough to understand what I'm talking

00:44:09.460 about, it's not peace loving Muslims who assimilate to our country. 0.95

00:44:13.040 I'm talking about the people that don't.

00:44:15.580 So like, let's make sure, like, you don't have to say that I'm saying Muslims and I love

00:44:21.060 you, but I, that is out of context for what I was saying, unless it was like so literal.

00:44:26.580 And I said something Muslim, but I think I made it clear that what I'm talking about

00:44:31.960 is Islam people that I said, if you're a Muslim who follows Islam, Islam, if I'm wrong, correct

00:44:41.200 me, is extreme and does not align with our values in this country.

00:44:45.800 They have no place being here.

00:44:48.640 That's what I said.

00:44:49.400 Well, Eric, let me help you.

00:44:52.560 And Marcela, I think, I hope you take what I just said and understand what I'm getting

00:44:56.680 at.

00:44:56.800 No, I understand me too.

00:44:58.040 Okay, perfect.

00:44:59.220 I think what the problem is when you take all the great religions and, you know, people 0.98

00:45:03.280 like Imam Tawhidi will admit this.

00:45:05.320 Like when I was law-fared by the Muslim Brotherhood and half the people that were law-fared along 0.99

00:45:10.980 with me, they were all Muslims who were leaking intel to the rest of us because they're as 0.55

00:45:15.380 scared as the rest of you, right?

00:45:18.500 But I think it's very important to be able to distinguish between, this is so key that

00:45:25.740 those people are Islamists and they're not the same. 0.60

00:45:29.040 Now, in terms of the religion itself, what Tawhidi, I think, would explain to people is

00:45:34.720 of all the great religions, it's the most susceptible to extremism.

00:45:41.900 Doesn't mean people who are Muslim are extremists, but it's the most susceptible to extremists grabbing

00:45:49.540 a hold of it because there's all sorts of hadiths that say it can't be contextualized, which

00:45:55.820 is the stupidest thing I've ever heard, because all communication is contextual, right?

00:46:00.860 Everything.

00:46:01.840 But the literalists want to brainwash everybody else to say that it can't be contextualized.

00:46:09.540 And I know in a couple of instances, for example, of people who've come here to this

00:46:13.980 country who've told us the reason the extremists are coming here, because they can't get away

00:46:19.300 with this nonsense back home.

00:46:21.080 They can't say, oh, it's all my right under the Sharia.

00:46:23.700 No, no, no, it's not.

00:46:24.820 We know the Sharia. 0.97

00:46:26.300 But people in the West are so, have been programmed to be so afraid to speak honestly, then when

00:46:32.300 some maniac who's tied to the Taliban says, oh, it's Sharia, we go, oh, okay, we don't

00:46:37.740 want to be offensive.

00:46:38.640 And that's not healthy either.

00:46:40.040 So there's got to be some balance where we can talk to each other.

00:46:45.060 And there's so many people in the Muslim communities that have been trying to advocate with politicians

00:46:50.060 for many, many years.

00:46:51.100 And the politicians close the door on them.

00:46:53.980 Why?

00:46:54.540 Because they don't have the type of money laundering operations that the Muslim Brotherhood and 0.95

00:47:00.800 Islamists have. 0.98

00:47:01.700 Muslim Brotherhood, Jamaat Islami, and all these organizations, Hizb ut-Tahrir, that have set

00:47:08.660 foot in the Western world.

00:47:10.240 So you're seeing with Iran, what's interesting is where they understand the culture in the

00:47:15.900 Middle East.

00:47:16.560 You notice all these Muslim countries have now aligned with Israel and the West since

00:47:22.540 the maniacs started firing weapons at them.

00:47:24.880 And you know what's going to happen?

00:47:25.780 And they are going to enter an age of enlightenment.

00:47:29.060 Thank you to Trump and the Abraham Accords, where they're going to find alliances around

00:47:34.140 the one unifier of people around the world, which is economics.

00:47:38.660 And the radical problem is going to be here.

00:47:41.880 It's going to be in Europe because we're trying to pretend it doesn't exist.

00:47:46.420 And that's why I think it's important to speak out, but to speak carefully about it and

00:47:50.740 be respectful of people who are of Muslim faith, but they don't wish ill will on people in the

00:47:58.260 Western world.

00:47:58.900 They just want to be left alone.

00:48:00.680 Right.

00:48:00.980 How about the Israel question and the Tucker Carlson?

00:48:04.920 Yeah, it's particularly frustrating to see.

00:48:09.040 I mean, I know what's happened to Tucker and how it's working, but people, you know, we get

00:48:12.940 aligned with somebody that we trust.

00:48:15.840 And as I like to say, I think Scott actually touched on this, that it's not your opposition

00:48:20.720 that brainwashes you.

00:48:22.360 It's the people who you think you can trust.

00:48:25.400 That's where the brainwashing comes from. 0.98

00:48:27.420 And that's what happens in politics all the time.

00:48:29.620 You know, that's why I tell people don't fall in love with politicians because they'll

00:48:32.980 all stab you in the back at one point.

00:48:36.280 Israel is at the front line and this it's frustrating, but I can understand why Americans don't understand

00:48:42.360 this because it's that American centric view of the world and not, you don't have that.

00:48:47.420 I know you've come from Latin America, but many Americans do.

00:48:51.340 They don't understand that Israel is at the forefront of the war with the culture war against

00:48:58.580 the United States.

00:48:59.840 That is the front line.

00:49:02.060 That is where the kinetic war is in Israel.

00:49:05.200 And it actually played this video the other day, a gentleman by the name of Richard Carlson,

00:49:10.740 name sounds familiar.

00:49:12.420 Yeah.

00:49:12.700 His father.

00:49:13.980 Related.

00:49:15.160 Yes.

00:49:15.720 His father was very involved in national security issues in D.C., worked for many think tanks.

00:49:22.640 And of course, what do Islamists say?

00:49:24.660 Oh, he's CIA because everything bad is CIA because the CIA is active in their countries.

00:49:29.400 But he was part of, I think, FDD.

00:49:32.480 He was part of the moderate Muslim coalition where they were trying to help people in the West

00:49:39.420 not only understand, but politicians understand how to fight this battle.

00:49:42.820 And as he said, the reason they went to Israel is because if you want to learn about terrorism

00:49:47.940 and how it operates in the Middle East, you go to Israel, the place that is always being 0.76

00:49:54.400 attacked by them.

00:49:55.440 Always.

00:49:56.060 Why?

00:49:56.840 Because they're kafirs. 1.00

00:49:57.940 That's it.

00:49:58.420 That's the reason they're being attacked.

00:50:00.240 And it's the reason you're now being attacked in the West.

00:50:02.660 And guess what?

00:50:03.380 If this continues in a few decades, you're going to start hearing chants for, we need

00:50:08.240 a two-state solution.

00:50:09.760 That's what's going to happen in England and France in five years from now.

00:50:12.820 I joke about it.

00:50:13.720 Maybe England needs a two-state solution now.

00:50:17.080 I have a question for BJ.

00:50:19.020 Yeah.

00:50:20.000 Oh, yeah, BJ.

00:50:20.800 So I always said that I want you to be our senator for Canada, okay?

00:50:28.060 And I'm looking for somebody that loves Canada as much as Trump loves America, okay?

00:50:33.620 Somebody that talks about Canada all the time, right?

00:50:36.300 And I'm always looking for that.

00:50:37.980 And I was happy that you were coming on the show because I love Canada so much and I want

00:50:43.720 to hear more about the future of Canada and how we can all be one.

00:50:48.740 So let me ask you, how does Israel, all this stuff about Israel, how is that affecting

00:50:55.640 Canada right now?

00:50:56.760 So, like, how do, if you want Canada to grow and be great again, what would you do to make

00:51:04.780 Canada great?

00:51:06.080 Oh, we would have to deport all the Islamists, take their organizations, shut them down. 1.00

00:51:11.720 We have, we are so much worse than you guys, so much worse.

00:51:15.000 We are Dearborn, Michigan, across the entire country.

00:51:18.680 This is why we're so intimately involved and familiar with this problem because it's been

00:51:23.220 going on and they have been, you know, Canadians are a lot more passive. 0.83

00:51:26.760 Then Americans. 0.60

00:51:27.900 And so we tend to be a lot more accommodating to new ideologies.

00:51:32.380 This is why Yuri Bezmenov, you know, the Yuri Bezmenov videos, Yuri Bezmenov, when he

00:51:36.380 defected, where did he come?

00:51:37.680 Canada.

00:51:38.460 And he worked at the CBC until he realized these people are all communists.

00:51:43.320 You know how I know they're parroting what I used to create when I was in the Soviet Union.

00:51:48.620 So then he went and became a professor at the University of Toronto and he found the

00:51:53.340 same thing.

00:51:54.100 Well, the Islamists have just done the same thing and what they, the way they operate. 0.98

00:51:59.100 I know I can tell you as a candidate how it works.

00:52:01.420 I was told you want to get your campaign funded easily.

00:52:05.480 This is all you got to do.

00:52:06.880 So that's the biggest problem you see for Canada, like the Islamists? 1.00

00:52:11.220 A hundred percent.

00:52:12.100 That's one hundred.

00:52:13.120 That's what's destroying the country.

00:52:14.560 When I was a candidate, I was told, look, this is how we'll fundraise.

00:52:18.160 You can go down the street to the Danforth Mosque, you know, where they pray for the killing 1.00

00:52:22.060 of the Jews, the killing of the Shia and killing of the Christians.

00:52:25.420 Just go there, give a speech about Islamophobia.

00:52:28.940 And what happens is you'll instantly walk out with 30 to $50,000 for your campaign and as

00:52:35.600 many volunteers as you want.

00:52:37.000 $50,000 is a lot for a campaign in Canada.

00:52:38.880 It's not like the U.S. 0.96

00:52:40.180 And all you got to do is Islamophobia and that's it.

00:52:43.220 And how does that work?

00:52:44.160 Well, all these Uber drivers who work at the mosque, sorry, who attend the mosque, the 1.00

00:52:49.180 worshipers, they don't have their maximum contribution.

00:52:53.780 But there is a network of NGOs and law firms that launders the money out of the Middle East

00:52:59.660 into Canada.

00:53:01.720 And then from the law firm, they set up the NGOs.

00:53:04.640 The money goes to the NGOs and then it is sent to all the radical mosques. 0.98

00:53:09.640 And those people, it's not their money.

00:53:11.480 That's laundered money that buys the politicians. 0.93

00:53:14.820 That's how it works here.

00:53:16.000 And this is why you have so many politicians on the other side that will, not on the other

00:53:21.020 side, the conservative side too, that will not speak openly and honestly on this subject.

00:53:25.600 It all comes down to money and volunteers.

00:53:28.800 So they definitely have an NGO problem here too.

00:53:31.260 Yeah.

00:53:32.060 Yeah.

00:53:32.360 And, you know, we have this other problem I've seen in the U.S.

00:53:34.740 now.

00:53:35.180 How many of them are called to the bar?

00:53:37.380 They're becoming lawyers now.

00:53:38.980 That's what's happening in Texas.

00:53:39.980 They know our laws better than we do.

00:53:43.620 And somebody asked, I was at several meetings with this intelligence analyst who was, we

00:53:48.340 were speaking on a little tour and stuff.

00:53:49.860 And people asked him, why is it that they are so effective in penetrating through political

00:53:58.040 entryism the Western world?

00:54:00.180 What makes them so effective?

00:54:01.400 He said, it's pretty simple.

00:54:02.280 It's pretty simple.

00:54:03.320 They are singularly focused because they're ideologues.

00:54:06.220 These are Islamists, not individual Muslims, the Islamist organizations.

00:54:10.240 They are singularly focused on one issue, which is to take over politics and take over

00:54:16.420 your countries.

00:54:17.160 That's their singular focused issue, right?

00:54:20.400 To bring it, to make Dar al-Fukar, Dal al-Islam. 0.96

00:54:24.720 That's what they want to do.

00:54:25.680 Your kids can't tell the difference between a boy and a girl. 0.52

00:54:29.520 That's why.

00:54:30.800 And as that grows over time, it's going to get worse and worse because people get completely

00:54:35.660 divorced from reality.

00:54:37.360 Don't they say the same thing about the Jews? 0.97

00:54:40.160 What's that?

00:54:40.980 Don't people say the same thing about the Jews?

00:54:43.600 Yes.

00:54:43.900 The same thing you're saying about Islamists? 0.85

00:54:46.700 Yes.

00:54:47.040 They project exactly what they're doing onto the Jews. 1.00

00:54:49.520 The difference is with the Islamist organizations, we have documentation.

00:54:55.200 This is why in my particular case, they were unsuccessful because we can prove it with all

00:55:00.960 of their NGOs and registered money that goes through.

00:55:03.740 So I hear a lot of this cry about, they talk about AIPAC, which is, you know, most of us

00:55:08.620 are not even supportive of AIPAC, which is kind of a little bit more of a lefty organization

00:55:12.880 as is the ADL.

00:55:14.020 I mean, Scott had some funny talks about that.

00:55:15.820 Uh, that's Americans and those are Americans who are transparent.

00:55:20.560 It's above board.

00:55:21.660 They show everything.

00:55:22.980 But this network of the laundered money that goes into the individual worshiper who pretends

00:55:29.080 it's their money to give it to a campaign contribution, A, is completely illegal and is not transparent.

00:55:37.200 And the other thing is I find comical that it just, you know, Scott would say this.

00:55:42.420 I think he would.

00:55:43.760 I don't know.

00:55:44.140 So you're trying to tell me that a group of people who we can't, none of us have this,

00:55:52.260 all we do is fight with each other, right?

00:55:53.980 It's hysterical to me.

00:55:55.380 Then they say, oh, all Jews have the, have the same opinion.

00:55:57.880 What are you, crazy?

00:55:58.880 Like the people who stabbed me in the back are other people in the Jewish community. 1.00

00:56:01.460 That's just the way it works.

00:56:02.360 But, you know, he'd say, you're, you're telling me that a group of people, uh, sorry, a group

00:56:09.700 is, is somehow they all share the same opinion and they are, although they're all over the

00:56:15.820 world and they're always at each other's throats and arguing are somehow funneling through a

00:56:24.180 country, the size of El Salvador, both in population and the area.

00:56:28.580 It's exactly the same size as El Salvador.

00:56:31.560 This country that's in a war zone, constantly being attacked, is controlling the largest economy

00:56:39.460 and military power the world has ever seen.

00:56:41.760 Really?

00:56:42.640 Really?

00:56:43.300 You think that's how the world works?

00:56:45.460 Because I know with this particular problem that we're seeing with, uh, Israel and the 1.00

00:56:50.080 mullahs, uh, Israel would have taken care of this 40 years ago, but every time it's always 1.00

00:56:56.640 the U S political establishment, usually Democrat, but not always when they're ready to put an

00:57:02.920 end to them, they pull them back.

00:57:04.320 Say, no, no, no, you're going too far to Israel's frustration.

00:57:07.960 This is the first time in modern history.

00:57:11.100 There is a president that says, okay, they know the region better than we do.

00:57:14.900 Let's support them and let's just get this problem done with finally.

00:57:19.580 But I think, I think Marcela's point was also that if, if, uh, if we're going to do this

00:57:24.980 to, to people that have that belief, right?

00:57:27.900 The extreme belief.

00:57:29.560 And we say, like you say that you become the president of Canada and then you say, you know

00:57:34.060 what, I'm going to just, uh, declare all the Islam is out somehow. 1.00

00:57:38.340 I don't know how you would get to it, the system.

00:57:40.960 And you do that now that's a horrible country that I don't want to live.

00:57:44.980 You know, I want to live in a country like, like America right here that.

00:57:49.060 You know, they will respect everybody's beliefs.

00:57:51.340 And if there's a change, need to change the law, you know, go ahead and do it.

00:57:55.460 But, um, uh, if I, if people started using that, they will use it against the Jewish people too.

00:58:00.840 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:58:01.620 No, and that's not what I'm suggesting.

00:58:03.780 Uh, it's much like the criminal phenomenon in Washington, DC.

00:58:08.020 What, what have they said?

00:58:09.480 It's always the same 200 criminals that do the same thing over and over again.

00:58:14.840 Most of the people just kind of, you know, go on and do, it's always the same little group.

00:58:18.960 Well, it's the same phenomenon with the network of Muslim brotherhood proxies. 0.94

00:58:23.720 You can look, it's funny if you've ever seen a map of them, it's always the same people who are on the advisory board or the board of this NGO that pops up this NGO, you know, Islamophobia, this Islamophobia, that it's the same people. 0.70

00:58:37.360 It's the same network of three to 500 people over and over again.

00:58:41.360 And they're the ones who are given the political clout.

00:58:44.460 So everybody who's regular, a regular peaceful Muslim, just, I, they just keep away from it because they know how violent they were back home and they're used to kind of keeping their head below ground. 1.00

00:58:56.340 Another group that's very, um, active behind the scenes, trying to help people mourn them are the Chaldeans, Coptic Christians, the Yazidis, all groups that have been slaughtered by the extremists.

00:59:09.700 Because, unfortunately, the ones who are not radical, they become irrelevant because the ones who are radical are the ones who are singularly focused and they become fanatical.

00:59:22.480 And that's the only thing they focus on.

00:59:24.020 And we don't do ourselves a service also when we say, you know, all Muslims are peaceful.

00:59:29.940 Well, nobody's, at least I, I'm not saying they're not.

00:59:34.040 I just focus on the Islamist issue. 0.72

00:59:36.900 And if we do that, and in the case of Canada, if they just enforced our laws of people who came here under spurious circumstances to get citizenship, but were here actually with goals that were antithetical to the goals of Canada, then they would be, what would have happened 150 years ago with this sort of behavior?

00:59:59.740 Those people would, people who are subversive would have been hanged for being treasonous.

01:00:05.380 But now we're so tolerant, we're tolerating the people who want to destroy the society.

01:00:11.620 That's going too far.

01:00:13.400 And again, I'm not saying Muslims, I'm saying the fanatics, the Islamists. 1.00

01:00:19.080 Yeah.

01:00:19.520 All right.

01:00:19.800 I'm going to grab the mic, you guys.

01:00:21.580 This was spirited today, and I love it.

01:00:25.580 Marcella, do you still love me?

01:00:26.820 I still love you.

01:00:29.840 I love you, too.

01:00:30.900 And I love you, Eric.

01:00:31.980 I love everybody.

01:00:32.800 I love you.

01:00:33.080 I love you all.

01:00:34.400 Yes, listen, everyone's entitled to different opinions and, you know, words have meanings.

01:00:39.940 That's why this country's great.

01:00:42.300 And you can be 51st state, too.

01:00:45.360 Yeah.

01:00:46.000 Can I tell you, most of us would love to at this point.

01:00:48.660 Yes.

01:00:49.620 Anything that's going to save it.

01:00:50.780 So, BJ, I have to say, a lot of people are like, we need him to come on once a week.

01:00:55.800 Maybe we can do that.

01:00:57.060 Because you know what?

01:00:58.040 It shows like a different perspective.

01:01:01.440 You're from a different country. 0.72

01:01:03.140 For those of you that said BJ should run for office, he did.

01:01:07.260 And he is also one of the freedom truckers.

01:01:10.060 Remember honking for freedom, you guys.

01:01:11.860 So, you know, BJ lives for freedom, and he lives for order and law and order.

01:01:19.840 And that's what he's about.

01:01:21.260 So, he does put his actions where his words are.

01:01:24.500 We'll be back tomorrow.

01:01:27.140 I think it's the news crew tomorrow.

01:01:29.740 So, it's a very newsy week.

01:01:31.200 And we'll get into the other stories that we want to talk about also.

01:01:34.500 But sometimes you've got to kind of let the conversation go where it takes you.

01:01:39.000 I think debate is good.

01:01:40.680 And I think everybody was respectful.

01:01:42.760 And that's really all that matters.

01:01:44.560 Okay.

01:01:44.860 I love you guys.
