00:00:00.000 But anyway, I think we're good. I think we're good. Good morning, everybody.
00:00:05.480 YouTube, you have a question of the day in the comments, and I'm going to tell everybody,
00:00:12.080 so we're going to do the sip right after. Okay, but the question of the day for the comments,
00:00:18.620 and we read the comments after. Okay, if the hosts of this show, the hosts and the regular
00:00:25.180 guests of the scott adams school were characters from seinfeld who would be who and you're not
00:00:32.400 limited to just like george jerry elaine and kramer you could do you know newman and banya
00:00:38.020 and the soup nazi and you could do the parents and uh jackie chiles and oh what's the name of um
00:00:45.920 not david putty well david putty so just assign everybody that ever comes on this show with a
00:00:54.220 Seinfeld character. We need a good laugh today. And we're going to read them after. Oh, yes. Owen
00:01:01.580 does karaoke. Yes, yes, yes. So you guys, how about we get to the sip? I have so many fun clips
00:01:08.060 and so much to talk about. The news is very newsy and I need coffee. So let's do it.
00:01:24.220 Alexa, turn on studio.
00:01:30.780 It's time for the simultaneous sip, and all you need is a cup or mug or a glass or a tank
00:01:35.080 or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:01:39.900 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:01:42.160 I like coffee.
00:01:43.940 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that
00:01:47.380 makes everything, including the Wuhan virus, better.
00:01:52.480 It's called the simultaneous sip.
00:01:54.220 It happens now.
00:01:56.580 Go.
00:02:03.820 He was flexing with his studio setup.
00:02:08.600 And how many people's little devices just said, I'm sorry, I don't have that feature.
00:02:14.840 I like the horror movie intro with the flashlight or whatever he was doing.
00:02:18.240 Right?
00:02:19.160 That was next level.
00:02:20.480 Yeah.
00:02:21.180 He had a flair for the theatrics here and there.
00:02:23.320 He had great impersonations, the whole thing.
00:02:26.060 So Marcella's off today, you guys, and Marcella's off tomorrow.
00:02:28.900 She's doing her lawyer thying.
00:02:31.680 Okay, so tell me, tell me how, Jeff, how was your weekend?
00:02:36.200 Tell me how it was.
00:02:36.940 What'd you do?
00:02:37.980 It was good.
00:02:38.680 We, I spent yesterday with my in-laws.
00:02:41.120 We went and watched that Nate Bergazi movie, The Breadwinner, and it was pretty good.
00:02:46.180 Oh, we all agreed that they should make more comedies that are good vehicles for for comics.
00:02:54.600 OK, I agree with that. That's good. That's good. Owen, how about you?
00:02:58.420 It was good. Just relaxing. Nothing huge. But I had dinner with my wife and son on Father's Day.
00:03:04.660 So that was nice. And I got some texts from my other son who's out of town. So it was good.
00:03:09.040 Lovely. Yes. Happy Father's Day to the fathers and the ones that are here and the ones that aren't.
00:03:16.180 You know, internet dads, everybody, cat dads, dog dads, anyone who's a mentor, you included.
00:03:23.880 So listen, I have to play this clip.
00:03:27.260 I'm obsessed with this father-son duo.
00:03:29.660 I always see them, but I thought you guys would get a kick out of this too, because
00:03:33.340 your Father's Day could go this way also.
00:03:36.960 Dad, the pharmacist said your gonorrhea prescription's ready.
00:03:40.180 Dad, why did the housekeeper ask you
00:03:45.620 to pick her up a morning after pill?
00:03:52.880 Attention everyone, I have a quick toast.
00:03:55.100 What are you doing?
00:03:55.840 Tomorrow my dad here is going on a date with a girl
00:03:58.360 for the first time in five years.
00:04:02.740 Dad, I checked everywhere for the Viagra.
00:04:05.860 They don't have any here.
00:04:09.420 Sorry.
00:04:10.180 Dad, did you want the chewable laxatives or the suppositories?
00:04:16.840 Dad, which size condoms did you want me to get you?
00:04:22.900 Dad, is this brand strong enough for your yeast infection?
00:04:28.900 Guess not.
00:04:30.420 Dad, would jock itch cream work for your rash?
00:04:37.860 Dad.
00:04:38.420 She said they don't sell adult diapers here.
00:04:41.000 You have to look online.
00:04:44.100 Dad, which flavor hemorrhoid cream did you want me to get you again?
00:04:49.720 I love that.
00:04:52.720 My dad would have loved me.
00:04:54.000 Well, that dad cannot take his son anywhere.
00:04:56.160 Oh, my God.
00:04:56.780 He goes, which flavor hemorrhoid cream do you want?
00:05:01.000 Is that the best?
00:05:02.440 I love that, you guys.
00:05:03.960 So happy Father's Day, dads,
00:05:05.920 especially to the ones that would put up
00:05:08.000 with that kind of stuff
00:05:08.880 I was going to say I'm guessing he must have been
00:05:12.180 at least tolerant of it if not
00:05:14.000 appreciating it if he was doing
00:05:16.000 it that many times and his face
00:05:18.260 though like the dad he's just like
00:05:19.940 like sometimes he just closes his
00:05:22.060 eyes like no
00:05:23.060 oh my god I love it I'm looking at
00:05:26.040 Beverly you say dads do not deserve this 1.00
00:05:28.120 my poor daddy live with five females 1.00
00:05:30.200 and was forever having to go 1.00
00:05:32.120 get tampons bless
00:05:34.020 his soul
00:05:34.840 Oh God. All right, dads. So, um, in other parenting news, so do you guys all know about
00:05:42.060 the Ridgeland beagles? They were these, Oh, you know, Beverly, by the way, who I just mentioned
00:05:47.460 is a beagler and wrote a, uh, beagle magazine for beagling. I can't believe I'm saying beagler
00:05:56.300 and beagling so much. Um, so anyway, the beagles, you guys remember the Fauci beagles,
00:06:01.760 they were just being tortured lab tested and i'm not gonna even get into how gruesome it is
00:06:08.600 um but there was a group that went in and like went on a mission and rescued them like took them
00:06:17.480 all out of their cages from this lab and they had like you know court coming you know the people
00:06:24.620 filing lawsuits and this and that and they were like we don't care we're taking all the beagles
00:06:28.820 I don't remember if in the chat, you guys, what did they do? Like 1500 they rescued. It could be
00:06:34.100 more. Um, so anyway, but the good news flavor is they were able to get the beagles out who had
00:06:41.600 never even like touched the ground. They've only been on a metal crate inside, no windows,
00:06:47.900 no grass, no light, no love. And they are all out. They're all freed. They're all either in
00:06:54.080 like with foster families or have been adopted by families. They're adapting beautifully. Like,
00:07:00.920 you know, the people that are adopting them, they're going to the right people. Like if some
00:07:05.160 of them are more traumatized, they'll be with, you know, someone who knows how to take care of
00:07:08.920 them and give them more time. But Judge Jeanine, friend of the show, adopted two of the beagles.
00:07:16.840 She has named them Lucy and Snoopy. So imagine where they were. And now they have stepped in
00:07:22.880 a goldmine with one of the biggest animal lovers, dog lovers, Judge Jeanine, and here they are.
00:07:29.500 This is a fence. It was put here to make sure that the big dogs didn't destroy the flowers.
00:07:39.740 The beagles, however, don't care about fences. They go in and out all the time.
00:07:44.140 Good morning, Lucy. Good morning, Snoops. How are you?
00:07:47.900 good morning they're looking for the big dogs lucy who are you looking for i thought we'd have
00:07:58.460 some alone time lucy look at the tails oh snoopy's drinking snoopy say hi say good morning
00:08:07.880 everybody oh there's lucy hi i thought we'd have some alone time okay we'll bring the big dogs out
00:08:15.120 in a minute. Oh, bless our hearts. So you know what? Thank you, Judge Jeanine. That is so
00:08:21.740 wonderful. And I've been like, I want one of the beagles so bad, but I can't. Stella would
00:08:27.860 literally make their life worse than when they were in the lab. So maybe when Stella's not here
00:08:33.860 one day, we'll get a beagle. But I love that story, you guys. So yeah, the facility has been
00:08:40.740 closed. They've been shut down. They are so happy. All of the ones I'm watching are so happy. And
00:08:47.440 it's a miracle that they could even trust a human being after what they went through. So
00:08:52.500 I am so happy to see that story. Okay. Other news, as predicted and stated by President Trump,
00:09:02.540 Keir Starmer. Let's do a little Keir Starmer news. Here we go.
00:09:06.380 It's been about putting the country I love first. That is why I will resign as leader of the Labor Party. I have spoken to His Majesty the King this morning to inform him of my decision.
00:09:22.340 All right.
00:09:23.300 I knew you were going to play this clip. I knew it.
00:09:26.840 Are you catching on to me?
00:09:28.320 so all right so tell us tell us your take uh jeff we'll start with you on the the cure storm or
00:09:36.040 resignation well i'm not going to pretend to know the ins and outs of british um you know how their
00:09:43.920 system works because uh here in america when a when a president resigns it's it's huge you know
00:09:50.360 it's only happened once and so you think oh wow there's going to be sweeping change and my goodness
00:09:55.260 that's a repudiation of whatever that you know that president must have done or whatever uh but
00:09:59.780 it's not at least from what i understand it's not that way in the in the uk because another member
00:10:05.340 of the labor party presumably is going to take over and i've already seen memes that are like
00:10:12.000 the split face memes where it kind of looks like a younger keir stormer uh his name's andy andy
00:10:17.900 something i can't remember his name um but it you know it'll be interesting to see like
00:10:23.140 is it just gonna be more of the same when when a new person comes in is this is this sort of a way
00:10:30.520 to appease some people that aren't thrilled with the British government I don't know and I from
00:10:36.540 what I understand so we talked about the RAPE gang inquiry report that came out and um from
00:10:46.040 oh my gosh Rupert Lowe am I saying the right name I'm getting all like my okay thank you um
00:10:53.020 And Keira Starmer allegedly knew all about this and brushed it under the rug because it just wasn't going to be a good look. 0.99
00:11:01.240 It won't be a good look for politics if you talk about the over 250,000 young white girls who were systemically repeatedly RAPED.
00:11:15.100 Okay, I can't say the word.
00:11:16.340 You two won't like it.
00:11:18.180 Over and over and over again, tortured and beaten.
00:11:21.400 And no, he said nothing. He said nothing. And then, by the way, he made a post, Owen, on Father's Day. And he wrote something to his daughters about being their father. And I'm like, oh, my God, you are so tone deaf that you're going to talk about your own daughters right now on Father's Day.
00:11:43.740 So the dude, I said that he deserves the fate of the 250,000 girls personally.
00:11:51.060 But what do you think about this?
00:11:54.120 Well, I think first, it is a different system that I would say it's more comparable to like the leader of the party in Congress resigning.
00:12:04.040 You know, it's like we have our majority and minority leaders.
00:12:06.520 It's kind of a little more like that as far as what's actually happening here.
00:12:10.380 It is a mix of the two because the prime minister does act similarly in some ways to how our president acts as sort of like the front of the country and does some executive things.
00:12:21.560 But I think that I think I read that they've gone through six and 10 years.
00:12:26.720 So it's it is a regular thing.
00:12:28.420 It's not something that is unexpected necessarily, at least based on recent history.
00:12:33.080 and um i think to me the the underlying things that a lot of the news stories don't talk about
00:12:39.080 is that um you know i think epstein had something to do with this in terms of the he appointed this
00:12:44.620 peter mandelson person that was a friend of epstein's or involved with epstein in many ways
00:12:48.940 and so i think that was part of the pressure that was put on starmer as far as why did you why did
00:12:55.640 you appoint this person that you knew was having these problems um but i think the main thing was
00:13:00.640 probably political that they lost a huge number of seats to the reform party which is the nigel
00:13:05.840 farage thing and so i think it's mostly a political move it's mostly hey you're you know you're losing
00:13:10.120 the you're losing control in terms of who's coming in versus who's staying and um so they're looking
00:13:17.020 for better leadership i think overall so i you know i think to me it's probably a positive thing
00:13:24.380 but i don't know because we don't know who's going to replace them so you're not really sure what's
00:13:28.260 going to happen there you know it's kind of like if Hakeem Jeffries dropped you know you might
00:13:32.800 cheer but you wouldn't necessarily know if the replacement would be any better you might get
00:13:36.340 Adam Schiff or who knows who right so I would like to see I don't know what the how they do
00:13:44.200 it there but I'd like to see our equivalency of an investigation into him and what he knew about
00:13:49.760 these girls and the the gangs and um and then you know i hate to feel like you know nothing ever
00:13:58.480 happens nothing does ever happen but it's just it's so amazing that someone like tommy robinson
00:14:04.700 went to jail for exposing this very story years ago um and then you know and people like piers
00:14:12.820 morgan piers you know i have such a love hate relationship with him like sometimes i'm like
00:14:19.000 God, he's making so much sense today. And I'm so proud of him. And then sometimes I'm like,
00:14:23.460 what is wrong with you? Not understanding what Tommy was doing, he finds him abhorrent. And I'm
00:14:30.460 just like, but he's fighting for these girls and the trafficking and everything else. I don't know.
00:14:38.300 So I'd like to see something happen. It can't be brushed under the rug. I mean, none of our media
00:14:45.060 covered it. And I don't think any of the media there is really covering it. And it just begs
00:14:50.140 the question, what is the payoff that these people are getting that can make you shut your
00:14:57.000 mouth over something so horrific is crazy? I don't know. I don't know if they're going to do
00:15:03.420 anything with him after he leaves or if he's maybe avoiding something with that. I don't know.
00:15:07.720 I don't know. So anyway, rest in hell. And let's move on to let's move on to Kash Patel. 0.99
00:15:18.140 What rhymes with hell? Patel. OK, so Kash Patel, he has some news on everyone's favorite former FBI director, James Comey.
00:15:28.080 Let's hear what he has to say. Thank you. As you heard from the attorney general,
00:15:32.840 the U.S. Attorney, former FBI Director James Comey, has now been indicted for two felony counts.
00:15:38.780 While many of you may read this indictment and view this matter as a simple investigation,
00:15:43.040 it is the farthest thing from that. Every single investigation this FBI and our partners at the
00:15:47.340 Department of Justice undertake, especially those that involve the threats to harm or hurt or even
00:15:53.480 kill individuals, whether they behold public office or civilians in our country, are met with
00:15:58.440 the same measure of investigative prowess and tools and personnel in partnership with the
00:16:02.500 Department of Justice as anyone else. As the U.S. Attorney indicated James Comey will be afforded every matter of due process under the United States
00:16:09.520 Constitution. And as the Attorney General indicated this has been a case that's been investigated over the past 9, 10, 11 months. These cases take
00:16:17.920 time. Our investigators work methodically. They are career agents, career prosecutors who work these matters. They call the balls and
00:16:25.700 strikes in the field as they see fit pursuant to the facts of the case in the law. They took that information and made a
00:16:31.900 presentment to a grand jury a jury of appears in the district in which the alleged crime took place
00:16:36.940 and that grand jury spoke and that grand jury returned a two-count indictment against James
00:16:42.380 Comey. James Comey allegedly threatened the life of the president of the United States
00:16:47.900 and as you all now know shortly after posting that threat he deleted that threat and then issued an
00:16:55.060 apology. All of that information was presented to the grand jury and Mr. Comey will have his day in
00:17:01.000 court and his ability to speak to a jury of his peers thank you um youtube uphill gardener i
00:17:11.200 don't appreciate that i i will talk about i will talk about news in other countries that i know
00:17:17.160 nothing about just to get the word out i don't need to be an expert in it and you could be kinder
00:17:21.920 thank you okay so oh when i come to you first um i mean this gives me a little tingly what about you
00:17:29.000 Well, I'm glad he's been indicted and I hope he faces consequences. I don't know if he will.
00:17:35.040 You know, a lot might just depend on the jurisdiction and the jury and how it all goes and what judge gets appointed and all that.
00:17:40.820 But, you know, I certainly think he deserves some consequences for a lot of his actions, not just this one.
00:17:47.080 But, you know, I'd love to see it all come out and I'd love to see him spend some time in prison.
00:17:52.440 So I'll cheer it along as I see it going forward, but I'm still remaining somewhat skeptical to see if we really see real consequences.
00:18:01.700 So I'd like to see them follow through and do a great prosecution and nail them.
00:18:09.120 Jeff?
00:18:10.420 Yeah, I agree with Owen.
00:18:12.620 I want to see the same things.
00:18:14.340 And when I think of Comey walking on the beach and either arranging seashells or whatever happened out there on the beach, you know, at the end of the day, it's one of those things where as a former director of the FBI, you know what 8647 means, right?
00:18:36.940 You know what that means.
00:18:38.900 And so it's really hard to make the leap of like, oh, I just found these seashells.
00:18:44.340 no bro you you spent like 15 minutes arranging them and like go like imagine him in his little
00:18:49.080 bucket and gathering them gathering seashells and putting them just so and waiting till the
00:18:54.180 light was just right like that's exactly what you what you did you deleted it because you knew it
00:18:58.940 was inappropriate um and and it seems like a like a larger issue of people on the left tiptoeing up
00:19:06.580 to the very tippy top of of of the edge of the line and saying well i you know i really didn't
00:19:12.600 mean that uh i regardless of if if a conviction is is achieved the process is the punishment and
00:19:22.280 so hopefully comey gets the pleasure of defending himself and spending money on lawyers and and uh
00:19:29.040 it does send a message of like hey look you know you'll you'll get indicted and then do you really
00:19:34.240 want to defend yourself from from all of this for you know a year or two probably not and so
00:19:39.700 hopefully that sends a chilling message to other people who might want to just test test the very
00:19:45.220 edge of of the line in terms of these terroristic threats to our elected leaders i always felt like
00:19:53.060 during trump's first administration um after comey was let go it always felt to me that whatever he
00:20:01.140 was saying or doing was a call to action like i it is it was like i don't know you know how you
00:20:08.340 just have like this guttural instinct where you're just like obviously the things you're saying are
00:20:12.580 a dog whistle to the people inside that are like i got your back this is bs we hate this guy we'll
00:20:18.100 take him down we know the bigger agenda and same with brennan and clapper seems a little bit more
00:20:24.740 incompetent um or maybe a little bit more fearful and i think personally that's who they should go
00:20:32.500 after first is clapper because i think he'll sing first based on how i view their personalities but
00:20:38.420 brendan and comey think nothing is going to happen to them um and i hope it does and then as recently
00:20:45.460 we saw somebody took some kind of chemical and burned into the ellipse lawn 86 47. this is like
00:20:52.900 the new thing and i mean it's like a it's so insane to think this is how we're living now that
00:20:58.260 this is acceptable i mean you know 20 years ago you would never say that about a president and
00:21:03.940 again it has nothing to do with president trump it doesn't matter who the president is like if
00:21:09.220 the the i'm going to say the left it's i never see this happening when there's a democrat president 0.99
00:21:14.420 um but this is very dangerous rhetoric and you know even like even this stupid stuff now with 0.95
00:21:21.460 destroying the reflecting pool the uh memorial there at the lincoln memorial you know it's like 0.99
00:21:27.380 like, oh, now this is a way to get back at Trump. We'll put algae in the thing and we'll rip up
00:21:32.580 the line. And it's like, wow, it's so mental. So I think they need to get it right with Comey
00:21:41.720 and Brennan and Clapper and Strzok and Page and blah and blah, because it goes on and on.
00:21:48.720 They really need to get it right and really set an example. So I hope that happens. Owen,
00:21:55.280 anything on this yeah i was just i was going to mention that like it seems like up until now we've
00:22:00.760 just seen the opposite of justice where they made that settlement with strock and page and gave paid
00:22:05.120 him like millions of dollars for basically you know breaking the law and and doing crimes it's
00:22:11.120 just ridiculous and so um i'd love to see it turn around and have some real consequences for these
00:22:17.340 people because it's well deserved and way overdue in my opinion yeah like penny saying on youtube 0.67
00:22:23.820 Comey called out Hillary for having government emails on her personal server. So, I mean,
00:22:29.160 if you guys remember that day, every word he said when Comey, you know, did that breakdown right
00:22:37.060 before we voted the first round, weren't you like, oh my God, like, it's like, it seemed to me like
00:22:44.460 he made a deal, like, fine, I won't recommend prosecution, but I'm going to say everything
00:22:50.320 she did wrong so people know who she is and like they must have been having some kind of crazy
00:22:55.380 blackmail going back and forth because he called out her emails he called out all the things that
00:23:01.060 you know had the um appearance of impropriety and wrongdoing and whatever and took it like
00:23:07.160 jeff said right up to that line and then was like and i don't think she should be charged and you
00:23:13.800 were just like what is that like this guy is like running some kind of sick show over there in the
00:23:19.680 FBI. Um, I think it's really important to get this right with him. Um, Jeff, anything else on this
00:23:27.140 subject? Yeah. You know, I just think that, um, it, it, it, it, it occurs to me that anytime
00:23:37.780 any figure, like it could be Trump, it could be anyone who might come in and say, Hey, we're going
00:23:43.060 to reform a lot of this stuff. Then as Mike Benz would say, the blob strikes back. Uh, and so
00:23:49.020 I think to your point, yeah, it is really important to get it right and get results because there's still a massive contingent of blob and blob related folks that are just tossing sand in the gears of of the, you know, the larger, not just the Trump administration, but the whole government apparatus.
00:24:12.040 And so anything we can do to chill that behavior is going to be a huge win.
00:24:20.600 And so I'm optimistic to see where this goes and it's much needed.
00:24:26.320 And like people that are out there on the lawn like spraying weed killer to make big numbers, it's like, what are you doing with your life?
00:24:37.980 Like you obviously you're you're probably paid to be there because you probably don't have any other kind of job.
00:24:44.740 And it's just it's wild that we're in this position as a country where this has gotten so normalized that it's it's costing taxpayers money just to repair all the damage done by these leftist terrorists, which I think is probably an accurate term for some of these folks.
00:25:05.780 Yeah, it's really sad. It really makes me feel sad inside because I honestly wouldn't care who was fixing the monuments and the fountains and whatever. I love it. It looks so pretty. And I don't know. It's just a sick society. Owen, anything else on it?
00:25:28.000 yeah well i mean again i i put comey and clapper and brennan in this class of people that are they've
00:25:33.900 just been deep state slimeballs their whole career and they're probably pretty good at it frankly so
00:25:37.980 they know how to like not say or write down the wrong things to get themselves in trouble and
00:25:42.680 that's why i'm skeptical as to whether or not they're going to see consequences i would say
00:25:46.360 the same thing about fauci like it just there there's this class of people that they've learned
00:25:51.280 how to play the game they've learned how to keep their nose clean in terms of just making it seem
00:25:55.140 like they haven't committed crimes when they actually have. And, um, I just like to see us
00:26:00.140 crack through that. I'd love to see some real consequences and have a lot of this stuff exposed
00:26:04.720 and, um, cause we all know what's happening. We all know what they're doing. We all know they're
00:26:09.460 doing it. And it's just, they're like, Oh no, I didn't, I didn't mean that. Or I didn't say that,
00:26:14.000 or you can't find any documents that prove that. And it's just disgusting to me.
00:26:18.640 Yeah. It's really unbelievable. Yeah. All right. So we'll keep our eye on it and, uh,
00:26:24.020 take your time, do it the right way, whatever you have to do. But, um, Cash, if you're listening to
00:26:29.720 me, which I mean, most popular show at 10 a.m. Eastern time featuring the name Scott Adams,
00:26:37.380 um, go start with, uh, Clapper. He's weak. He's weak. I'm telling you. Um, okay. So moving on, 0.79
00:26:46.000 you know, I'm looking, I have these clips that I always want to like play the clips I never got to,
00:26:51.400 but I sort of forget what some of them were. So I have two intentional clips left here. I have two
00:26:56.520 that I didn't get to play last week and I'm, I'm sort of wanting to play one of them right now.
00:27:02.340 And let me just see if it's in my notes who this was, but this is switching topics back over to
00:27:09.080 Islam. Um, okay. His name is Dan Berwami and he wrote a book called Islam and the West,
00:27:18.740 And he's going to give you a breakdown of what Islam is like in a couple of minutes.
00:27:24.660 So with your approval, I'm going to switch gears now because we're having a problem. 0.93
00:27:30.220 So let's take a listen.
00:27:32.300 Islamism is a term that was developed in the West to differentiate between Muslims and
00:27:38.600 jihadists.
00:27:39.780 And in order to give the politicians a way to attack the jihadists without blanket
00:27:45.380 condemnation of Muslims everywhere.
00:27:47.380 But it is a false term. It doesn't serve the West. Actually, it makes the West vulnerable.
00:27:53.080 Islamism is the foreign policy of Islam because Islam is not a religion. Islam is a state, 0.92
00:27:58.720 a state with a constitution. The constitution is called Sharia with a foreign policy. And that
00:28:03.320 doctrine is called Jihad with a financial system that is called Zakat, a population called the 0.97
00:28:08.660 Ummah. That is why a Muslim in America feel closer to a Muslim in Indonesia than to a non-Muslim 0.94
00:28:14.740 American because the ummah belong to each other. Islamism is Islam in action. Before the fall of 0.56
00:28:22.080 the Islamic Caliphate or the Ottoman Empire, the Islamic Caliphate lasted from the days of Muhammad
00:28:28.360 until 1924. So it was the Islamic state that was waging jihad against non-Muslims, but it was
00:28:37.060 official. It was a state leading the way. A state is commanding jihad. That is why it's seen when 1.00
00:28:44.580 you look at history as just another empire trying to expand while in reality it was actually that 0.75
00:28:51.620 divinely mandate jihad after the fall of the islamic state and the establishment of the nation
00:28:57.640 states different groups started practicing jihad making the decision themselves so this jihad 0.87
00:29:04.600 that is called islamism in the west is the same old good islamic jihad that was practiced for 14
00:29:11.440 centuries since the days of Muhammad. Okay. That was Dan Berwami. Jim, I just saw you ask. Dan 0.99
00:29:20.440 Berwami, and he wrote a book called Israel, Islam, and the West. Apparently, he's a good guy,
00:29:26.780 okay? Or as you called him, this truth teller. Owen, what do you think about that breakdown?
00:29:32.940 And I do feel a major shift now worldwide that we are really focused on what's happening.
00:29:42.440 Yeah, well, I mean, I agree.
00:29:43.940 And I think it's a good way of differentiating it. 1.00
00:29:46.700 I think the more we can separate the real problem from peaceful Muslims, the better. 1.00
00:29:52.100 I know there are some people and a lot of people and maybe a lot of people listening 0.87
00:29:55.100 that think any, you know, Muslim is sort of fundamentally flawed or fundamentally violent. 1.00
00:29:59.940 And I get that part of the argument. 0.96
00:30:01.420 But I do think that there are a lot of people that don't subscribe to jihad or to, you know, wanting to kill other people that aren't willing to submit or convert or they're not trying to implement Sharia law.
00:30:12.580 So I think we need to cleanly separate the two and take care of the real problem. 0.58
00:30:16.900 So I'm out for it.
00:30:18.660 Yeah, same.
00:30:19.260 OK, Jeff, your take?
00:30:20.280 yeah i i think uh the way that gentleman put it is interesting framing it as you know sort of a
00:30:29.180 state almost a state without borders and looking to um uh in different ways conquer um different
00:30:37.940 lands from an ideological perspective uh and it it also kind of made me think of
00:30:44.760 you know how how how challenging how challenging the task is to separate you know the peaceful from
00:30:54.320 the conquerors so to speak um because you know like people can lie and people can can say oh
00:31:03.120 you know i wouldn't really want to conquer anything right um and so trying to to parse that
00:31:08.300 out it is going to be a challenge um but you know it even even makes me think on a on a larger scale
00:31:14.320 about how um you know like look at woke culture and and that is its own version of of a jihad right
00:31:25.620 where they're they're trying to conquer minds and so uh it is it it's a challenging task and it's
00:31:33.360 made tenfold harder with uh porous borders over the last you know seven eight years where people
00:31:40.420 have been able to filter in and there's no vetting. And so the, I think, I think it can be done, but
00:31:46.260 man, it's, that's a, it's, it's way harder to unmake a peanut butter and jelly sandwich rather
00:31:51.160 than just like not put the jelly in there. And so those are my thoughts. Yeah. And so I think, um,
00:31:57.360 Gadsad's book could not have been better timed suicidal empathy. You guys, if you missed our,
00:32:03.240 um, our interview with him here and you haven't read his book or you don't know much about it,
00:32:08.160 please, I, I highly recommend suicidal empathy, uh, get it on audio or, you know, if you, if you
00:32:15.600 don't like, I do most books on audio. Um, I'm a very, um, audible person. I just like to hear
00:32:21.840 the thing. So I put on my headphones, my, my everyday headphones, and I just put it on,
00:32:28.840 I might put it on like a little bit faster of a speed. Cause I just want to get it a little faster.
00:32:33.220 and just listen to this book. And, you know, the gist of it was that we were told you can't,
00:32:40.280 you know, say anything derogatory about, you know, Muslims or Islam or whatever. This really
00:32:45.720 kicked into gear after 9-11. You know, that would be wrong and you'd be a hater and you'd be,
00:32:51.940 you know, a this and a that. And we were like, oh, I don't want to be called a name. I don't
00:32:55.620 want someone to label me. Well, cut to now. I mean, we've, most of us here have been called
00:33:00.620 Nazis. And like, what could be worse? Call me a Nazi and a racist. I think you've pretty much
00:33:06.780 covered the gamut. So we have to stop caring what people want to label us as. We have to start
00:33:14.880 caring about the sovereignty of our country and our people and our rights and how this country
00:33:21.920 was built. Oh, I don't have the clip. You should have seen New York this weekend. There was a
00:33:27.500 complete like islam takeover in the middle of the street complete with uh they had like horses that 0.99
00:33:34.680 they put like fake blood on and the men are you know pounding their chests in the street and
00:33:40.080 they're chanting and of course taking over a whole and i'm like what is happening um so
00:33:46.340 conquering conquering is con it's conquering it's a flex that's a flex to say what are you
00:33:52.680 going to do about it. We're here where there's more of us than you right here. You're not making
00:33:57.600 us move. And if you try to, we're going to cry racism and our mayor is going to be on our side
00:34:03.180 because he's one of us. Okay. So the suicidal empathy has to stop. Um, Owen, what, what else
00:34:10.920 would you want to say about that? Well, I think I agree with what you said about the suicidal
00:34:15.540 empathy. I think that's a big part of the problem is that, um, a lot of these things are just
00:34:20.460 intolerable types of things that seem to be allowed or minimized or covered up um certainly
00:34:26.780 some of that again goes back to the uk story with starmer and his government but i think a lot of
00:34:31.480 it's happening here too where people are trying to say oh no it's not a problem you should just
00:34:35.580 stop being racists and let these people do what they want and here it's probably taking more uh
00:34:41.180 form and in terms of fraud where people are just stealing left and right and just exploiting our
00:34:46.980 system. But it's things where you just need to say, we can't tolerate these things and we can't
00:34:53.220 give these people a pass for behavior that's not allowed here. And I think we just need to be very
00:34:59.300 clear and very even-handed about that and not show this dysfunctional empathy to saying, oh,
00:35:07.280 we need to take care of these people when really they're just not even trying to reciprocate.
00:35:11.840 They're not even trying to assimilate into our culture. They're trying to destroy us and they're
00:35:16.260 trying to implement their way of life and to take apart ours. And I think people need to recognize 0.98
00:35:21.240 that and understand that they need to protect their own culture and their own families and
00:35:25.640 their own communities. That's right. Flynn, thanks for reminding me. Flynn said, you know,
00:35:31.040 it's a book title, but you know how YouTube can be without words. So hopefully they'll realize
00:35:35.860 it's a book title. Yeah. And like Jeff was saying, they can say whatever they want to you
00:35:43.220 to advance their agenda. So they can, they, they can just lie to you and be like you said,
00:35:49.000 like, Oh, we, you know, no, we love America. They, and inside there was just like death to America,
00:35:54.140 you know, like they, they can say and do whatever they want. It's in their rules,
00:35:59.840 do whatever you want, lie to whoever you want to, because in the end it's about us taking over. So
00:36:06.060 do whatever you have to do. So, um, you know, uh, I, I know that some of you are going to say,
00:36:11.780 oh, Scott said, don't paint a broad brush, judge by the individual. But Scott also came around to
00:36:18.660 what was happening with this. He was very aware. And there are times where there are exceptions
00:36:24.640 to those rules. And when your whole ideology, it's not a religion, when your whole ideology
00:36:31.160 is based on do whatever you have to do to take control, you have to paint with a broad brush.
00:36:39.020 that's it. But so then I had this other clip I wanted to play right after the other day with
00:36:45.780 Michael Knowles and Sammy Woodhouse. She's an author of Just a Child. And let's just take a
00:36:52.020 listen to what they're saying following this last clip. I mean, when did the sort of political
00:36:57.780 correctness begin where the government is saying, no, no, we're going to prioritize perpetrators
00:37:03.540 over victims because we're afraid of being called racist? And when did that really accelerate?
00:37:09.020 And was it what was the big driver here? Was it that they chiefly that they didn't want to be called racist or or were the cops even more intimately involved in the gangs?
00:37:20.160 Yes, they definitely were. So the police officers were holding what was called cop nights.
00:37:26.480 So what that meant was that police officers was taking turns to rape the children and that they would hand the children back to the gangs.
00:37:37.400 Now, some of the things that was actually happening to children
00:37:40.140 are just absolutely horrific.
00:37:42.180 You know, they wasn't just beaten and raped. 0.91
00:37:44.980 And this weren't just about sexual gratification. 0.99
00:37:47.060 This was about pure humiliation and degrading children. 1.00
00:37:50.920 Children was raped by dogs. 0.99
00:37:52.920 They were locked in cages. 0.78
00:37:55.200 You know, animals were slaughtered and eaten, you know, in a bathroom.
00:37:59.600 It's just absolutely horrific.
00:38:01.720 I mean, one child, she witnessed other girls being murdered in front of her.
00:38:07.400 you know, the most evil of crimes. And it was just allowed to go on for decades.
00:38:15.080 That podcast goes on. That's Michael Knowles. So, you know, suicidal empathy. I don't care.
00:38:22.580 Call me whatever you want, but not on my watch if I can help it. You know, I will speak up.
00:38:28.500 I will be useful. I can't stomach it. Owen, your thoughts on that clip?
00:38:37.400 Well, the whole thing is just so out of control. And, and again, you know, a lot of this isn't in my country, so I don't know that I care as much. Obviously I do care. I don't want these girls and women to be raped, but I just, you know, it, it seems like crazy to me that we've gotten to this point and it's gotten so big.
00:38:56.340 It's not just a couple of people, it's large numbers and, you know, at least in the thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. And it's just, it's kind of mind boggling to think that that could happen in a Western society that supposedly has control and criminal justice and all these things.
00:39:14.660 And so I think drastic action needs to be taken. And I hope the UK takes it. And I hope we don't tolerate any of this here because it just we can't allow that to happen. It's going to make the whole society crumble and it's going to mean, you know, horrible crimes for hundreds of thousands, if not more people.
00:39:32.200 You know, if you scaled that up to the United States population, it would be millions of those types of crimes. And I know we've had our share of them. You know, it's not at those numbers, I don't think, but it's, you know, we've had people murdered and had horrible things happen to a lot of people here, too. So I think we need to put a stop to it.
00:39:50.560 uh, children are not immune in this country from this. And, um, you know, the numbers of
00:39:58.680 the traffic children they're finding and the things that have happened to them
00:40:02.600 are equally as horrific and flavor. You said, Sammy Woodhouse is one of the most courageous
00:40:09.580 women in the UK. I'm sure she is. And I'm sure she's got to watch her back and have good security.
00:40:15.860 um but again she's standing up and being useful jeff what do you say
00:40:20.680 yeah so uh when when the inquiry thing came out uh last week i posted a picture of a
00:40:29.300 of a carrier shrek group and i and i said something to the effect of like
00:40:33.560 there's the drake meme where he's like no and then he's he's doing yes and in the bottom panel
00:40:39.460 and i said no to the um uh blockading the straight of hormuz and yes to blockading the
00:40:45.520 Strait of Dover. And, you know, I don't know, you know, that's probably not feasible. But I like the
00:40:52.520 imagery of Trump just sending the carrier strike group group north and saying, like, look, here's
00:40:58.440 what's going to happen. Because how my mental model processes it is that these horrific crimes
00:41:05.980 are taking place right now and is unacceptable. Project out because, you know, if it's if things
00:41:13.160 continue in a similar fashion not much will change over the next five or ten years and so
00:41:19.180 then can can you permit the united kingdom to have a nuclear weapon you know like if you extend it
00:41:25.540 out like can you actually permit that um probably not and so why not i mean and i'm look i'm a guy
00:41:33.940 on the internet talking so please take take all this with a huge pillar of salt but uh what
00:41:39.100 sanctions could trump place on the united kingdom could i mean my dream is for trump to bring over
00:41:45.380 keir starmer whoever man in the suit like he did with the um the president of south africa
00:41:51.120 and he's in the oval office and he's like hey uh uh turn off the lights real quick and then he just
00:41:56.540 plays like like the inquiry report and he just asked them question after question after question
00:42:02.520 You know, because Trump has has many times just sort of stuck his foot in in another country's business for the improvement of a section of that country's citizens, because he can often change things with just a sentence or two.
00:42:20.740 And so I would like to see him get a little bit involved and like just a couple of truths about it.
00:42:27.940 You know, that's what I would like to see personally.
00:42:30.400 I fully agree.
00:42:32.520 it would mean so much. And it would get the attention. I mean, anything he says or does,
00:42:37.700 the news goes crazy about. He should paint the bottom of the pool with all the whole story about
00:42:44.040 this. And they should drain the memorial pool. He should write this whole story out. And then
00:42:49.600 as they're filling it with water, people will be like, what did he write? And then it'll get
00:42:53.080 attention. Oh, it's so sad. Um, okay. So let's get to a little bit of, uh, JD Vance in Switzerland.
00:43:02.420 So much JD Vance news right now. So many people hate him. They love him. He's the next president.
00:43:08.780 He's done. I mean, uh, poor JD doesn't know if he's coming or going. And, um, some people say
00:43:15.860 maybe Trump, president Trump put JD out there to kind of be the break the news guy of like,
00:43:22.500 we've got to get out of, you know, what we're doing. I don't know. We'll see. Let's see what
00:43:26.520 Trey Yings has to say. Yeah, it sounds like the Americans got two major agenda items crossed off
00:43:33.540 during this meeting in Switzerland overnight. The big headline here, Iran, according to Vice
00:43:39.040 President Vance, has agreed to allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency back
00:43:45.220 into their country. This is huge. And it's very important as it relates to the detailed discussions
00:43:50.080 on Iran's nuclear program so that these inspectors can get a list of what the Iranians still have
00:43:55.600 and what the Americans want them to get rid of. The second headline here that Special Envoy Kushner
00:44:01.760 was able to work out a deal with the Qataris that some of these unfrozen Iranian funds are actually
00:44:07.620 going to be used to purchase American farm products and then feed the people of Iran.
00:44:13.200 And so again, the inspectors heading into Iran and also the purchase of American farm goods,
00:44:18.420 two major agenda items for the Americans.
00:44:21.520 The vice president also laid out some of the pillars that were takeaways from the meeting in Switzerland.
00:44:28.120 And one has to do with that deconfliction line to ensure that if shooting starts again,
00:44:32.360 ultimately there's a way to rein back in all parties.
00:44:35.600 Now, we don't know if the Israelis are part of that deconfliction.
00:44:39.700 So far, according to our reporting, they have not signed any sort of document or agreed to terms
00:44:45.000 as it relates to their activity in southern Lebanon.
00:44:47.360 And as we heard just last hour in the remarks that we aired from the leader of Hezbollah, Naim Qasem,
00:44:53.680 they want to see a full Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon.
00:44:56.980 The other issue that the vice president talked about is the Strait of Hormuz,
00:45:00.580 saying that the technical details in working out how this will advance in the future
00:45:05.860 were actually agreed to in Switzerland.
00:45:08.720 We heard yesterday from President Trump, who left open the option of actually taking over the Strait of Hormuz,
00:45:13.640 saying that the United States could act as a guardian angel of the strait
00:45:17.520 and actually take a percentage of the oil that passes through.
00:45:22.080 Yikes. Okay. Every day I'm just like, do we even talk about it?
00:45:27.020 Because tomorrow it's going to be totally different again.
00:45:29.640 So, Owen, I know this is your favorite topic to cover, so I'm going to start with you.
00:45:35.800 Yeah. I mean, I keep calling this like the Schrodinger's cat war,
00:45:39.540 where it's like you never really know what the truth is.
00:45:41.940 You never really know what's happening.
00:45:42.960 You keep hearing both sides of everything where the Strait of Hormuz is open, the Strait of Hormuz is closed, and it's all at the same time that people are saying these things, and nobody ever seems to agree.
00:45:53.180 So it's really hard to know what is really happening because there's so much disagreement by the different sides as far as even what the basic facts are.
00:46:02.780 You know, and I think Trump is probably right more often than he's wrong. But I think it's kind of hard to know what Iran or the IRGC or the Houthis or the Hezbollah or any of those people are going to do because you don't really know what that what how that's going to play out.
00:46:18.660 So, you know, I think, in my opinion, Trump is doing the right thing trying to get this thing done, like over with and focus on other things and not have the focus be on Iran for the next six months. But, you know, I think that's just my own personal opinion. Some people, of course, think we should keep fighting and put an end to the regime and all the other things that they want to happen. Other people think we should never have been there to begin with. And the opinions are all over the board.
00:46:46.740 So I personally, you know, don't really have much of an opinion strongly about whether or not we should have gone in just because I don't know what the facts were in terms of what the threat was.
00:46:56.700 But I do think that at this point, I wish we would have gotten out sooner than we did.
00:47:01.140 Frankly, I wish we would have gotten out like in April or May rather than now.
00:47:04.640 But I'm glad we're doing it now and I hope it comes to an end soon.
00:47:08.280 So what do you think?
00:47:09.360 I do, too.
00:47:10.640 Jeff, what do you think about JD's role going over there?
00:47:15.400 I mean, he's taken some shots, like he's been a little bit ignored and snubbed, you know, going in for a handshake and not getting one.
00:47:24.600 Do you think it's like a good cop, bad cop situation for J.D. and President Trump?
00:47:31.380 Yeah, I think that it seems like Trump, he's done a really good job of putting J.D. Vance in a lot of situations where it's kind of an apprenticeship, right?
00:47:42.100 where it's like uh uh hey jd go do this hey jd go do that um and i like to see it because i think
00:47:50.480 the the more jd vance works both alongside trump and trump giving him uh these important roles
00:47:57.880 it's just developing him uh for because i think probably what what we're we're likely going to
00:48:04.360 see is jd vance running in 2028 and so he'll have a lot of things to speak to like yeah i did this
00:48:09.860 i did that like in my lifetime he's probably the most active vp i can remember like i don't
00:48:17.040 remember half of what mike pence did you know uh i remember the fly on his head that's about all i
00:48:22.280 really remember what about all that stuff that kamala did true uh you know order was a great
00:48:29.460 success yeah oh man she she went she went down there and found found all those root causes man
00:48:34.260 like a like a dentist um and uh so in terms of jd vance like i i say put him out in front of as
00:48:43.960 much stuff as possible because i think he can rise to the occasion i think he has risen to the
00:48:48.380 occasion uh i think the jd vance like the never advance haters and the um they're just weird like
00:48:55.020 they're just weird uh they're they're people that were probably never trump as well and so i just
00:49:00.440 don't trust anything that they say they're kind of the same folks that um were really pro desantis
00:49:04.860 during during the primary and i like ron desantis as a governor i think he's done done good things
00:49:10.580 in florida uh but yet you had this certain wing of the republican party that just you got a sense
00:49:17.560 that they that they didn't like trump almost as much as any democrat uh and so you're gonna see
00:49:22.020 the same section of people not like vance because they're gonna want their own preferred uh pet in
00:49:28.140 in the white house or at least running for, for the highest office.
00:49:32.140 Well, you said the never Trump crowd. So, okay, this, this is where my head goes. So I feel like
00:49:38.580 the never Trump crowd was, is Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro. That to me is the never Trump crowd
00:49:45.140 that are suddenly Trump. Um, and so now those same people are quite pissed off at JD Vance
00:49:52.800 because JD, I mean, he's making comments that sound very much like America first, right? So
00:50:01.580 it's, it's like a weird place to be, especially doing this live stream, because I, you know,
00:50:08.800 I feel like we don't, you know, we don't want to be making anyone feel bad in any direction.
00:50:14.420 Like when I say, I don't have a dog in this fight with Israel and people are like, yes, 0.81
00:50:18.500 you do, because then the weapons would come here. That's not what I mean. I just mean, 0.60
00:50:21.920 I don't have like an emotional dog in this fight, right? I'm not passionate about this.
00:50:27.680 Well, I'm becoming more passionate about wanting this to be over, but I don't have
00:50:31.880 that same kind of passion that like a Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro. I'm just going to use those two for
00:50:37.160 now because they're the most obvious. But, um, so when you have JD now going out there and Trump
00:50:43.100 sending him out there to be the one to say like, listen, America first, I'm just making that up.
00:50:48.720 America first, we got to do America first. And now these people are freaking out. Um, so I feel
00:50:56.100 like the never Trumpers are going to really expose themselves again for who they were. And Trump's
00:51:03.960 going to see that even harder and it's going to give him more ammo to be like, you know what? I
00:51:09.860 am ending this. Um, because like, look at, you know, I did, I did more than any other president
00:51:14.960 for the cause of Israel ever in the world. And because I need to stop it or scale it back or 0.99
00:51:22.480 find a way out, like now you're turning on me again. So I think it's like a self-fulfilling
00:51:27.600 prophecy and it's going to be able to let him get out now without feeling any type of way about it
00:51:33.360 because people are just having an overreaction. So I don't know. I think that it's kind of a
00:51:41.500 good strategy. I think it's also a little bit of like the auditions between Rubio and Vance.
00:51:47.740 I have not seen Rubio. I haven't seen him speaking. I mean, I know he's around, but I haven't seen
00:51:53.260 him. And, you know, which leads me to one clip I was debating playing. And then, Owen, after this
00:51:58.340 clip, I'm going to toss it to you. I came across this clip. It's from, it's an Israeli policy
00:52:05.900 summit uh yeah okay so i'm sorry grok wasn't working when i tried to look up the name of
00:52:13.320 this person but netanyahu just spoke here it's happening in jerusalem i believe so it's a policy
00:52:19.260 summit and now this is what we're talking about listen to this gentleman a threat for america
00:52:25.300 it's a threat for israel and 15 years from now israel will have a war with egypt the muslim 0.58
00:52:30.300 brotherhood would eventually take over egypt the mother the muslim brotherhood which is a sunni 0.67
00:52:34.500 jihad. Now, after we weakened the Shia jihad, we'll be a threat to the world. Turkey is now 1.00
00:52:39.660 taking over. Fidam Khan, what's his name? The foreign minister of Turkey announced that we
00:52:50.020 took Haleb, we took Damascus and Jerusalem is next. The Sunni jihad is the next enemy. Israel
00:52:54.660 needs to be strong. America needs to be strong. Did he just say America needs to be strong?
00:53:00.820 So he's talking about a future war with Israel and Turkey.
00:53:06.740 And he says, Israel needs to be strong.
00:53:08.940 America needs to be strong.
00:53:10.200 This is what I'm saying. 1.00
00:53:11.360 Like, they're so tone deaf, Israel. 1.00
00:53:13.800 Like, they're not reading the country.
00:53:16.460 You know, we're like, hey, listen, we were here to help with Iran for, you know, whatever
00:53:20.840 reason we had to.
00:53:21.980 Okay.
00:53:22.680 And now you're talking Lebanon, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, on and on and on.
00:53:28.080 And it's like, this is going to be a problem. So what do you say, Owen?
00:53:33.580 Yeah. I mean, well, first I would just say like, I don't know the full context of this. This is
00:53:37.600 some conference that's happening in Israel and I'd never heard of it before this JNS thing. But
00:53:42.500 I think from what I heard, it sounded like they were talking about longer term threats
00:53:48.380 as opposed to like, we're going to go in tomorrow. Like he said something like within 15 years,
00:53:53.080 we're going to have a war with Egypt. And I certainly hope that doesn't happen. And I don't
00:53:57.680 think anyone can really predict the future that far out. Scott would have told us that. So I don't
00:54:02.280 know that I necessarily need to worry about what someone thinks is going to happen in 15 years,
00:54:06.020 because anything could happen within the next five or 10 years, and it could change a lot of
00:54:10.020 things. But I do think you're right in terms of him being tone deaf about talking about those
00:54:15.180 things now on a public stage, because it just seems like we're just finishing this big thing
00:54:19.440 where we assisted them and drained a lot of our military resources and put a lot of people at risk
00:54:24.240 and really saved them from this nuclear threat to whatever extent that is a real threat.
00:54:32.120 We, you know, set back Iran and I think to your earlier point, I think Trump has done
00:54:38.400 tremendous things to support Israel and, you know, with the Abraham Accords and everything
00:54:43.240 else that has put them on a better footing in terms of the Middle East.
00:54:46.400 And if anything, I'd like to see more of that type of talk saying, you know, can we get
00:54:51.240 more of the abraham accords spread out amongst the region and achieve peace as opposed to saying
00:54:56.360 here's the next war let's get ready for it um yeah i feel like i for me i i i'm only interpreting it
00:55:05.640 to be like a preemptive situation like well we you know it's gonna happen so stay strong america
00:55:12.380 i'm not strong anymore okay jeff what do you think about that yeah i echo owen's thoughts
00:55:19.180 i i am way more concerned with how do we how do we make life better for the middle class
00:55:26.220 in america because that is what's going to win midterms that's what's going to win elections
00:55:31.200 uh is it good that iran has limited nuclear capability that's probably good too but at the
00:55:39.460 end of the day the person filling up their truck with gas or the farmer looking at fertilizer like
00:55:45.900 those those are the people and and even the middle class folks just walking around their city like
00:55:52.200 they need to feel safe right uh those are the issues that i want to see us get get back to i
00:55:57.840 know that there is stuff being done uh sort of domestically but if we're embroiled in any foreign
00:56:03.660 conflict halfway around the world um there's not there's just not a taste in the american culture
00:56:11.340 for that right now even though i understand like the probably the greater play with oil and choking 0.97
00:56:18.940 out china and like all those things are actually really good things um you you got to be able to
00:56:24.800 go into a place get it done get out and and really hammer those middle class issues because that's
00:56:30.780 what's what's important to a lot of americans yeah i agree i i mean i feel bad for all of us
00:56:37.680 going through it economically. It's crazy. Economically and watching what's happening
00:56:43.620 to our country and the takeover from all different parts of the world with people who are not 0.99
00:56:50.120 compatible with our way of life, it's kind of getting tiring. So anyway, yes, Jim, I am strong.
00:56:57.420 I'm strong, Jim. I will persevere. All right. So you guys, thank you for a really good show.
