Oh yeah, I'm looking forward to that getting back out to Hyenas Dallas and Fort Worth. We always have a good time out there. Comic Dave Smith.com if you want to grab tickets and of course porch tour.com if you want to come see Rob out on the road. All right, so a lot of stuff going on. There was quite a bit of news has been developing with the, the Israel situation. Benjamin Netanyahu of course is in the United States of America. If you felt an unusual cold breeze this morning, that might have been old BB he gave a speech at the United Nations a couple days ago. He just like maybe an hour before we started recording this, he just showed up, arrived at the White House. I'd imagine him and Trump will do some type of press conference or something like that. So there'll probably be some stuff to talk about tomorrow on that front. But even already there's there's a couple things that have really been kind of, I don't know, dominating social media about his UN speech, his meeting with the influencers after and all that stuff. So I figured we, we'd get into all of that stuff today. I, I gotta say and I'm curious to get your kind of meta feedback on this, Rob. But to start with like my big picture take on all of it is, is I just, you know, it's strange because obviously I'm, I'm somebody who's been, you know, talking about this conflict a lot, particularly over the last couple of years. And, you know, it's, it's. I don't know, I've been in a lot of debates and shows about the subject. I still find myself, like, I'm blown away by how bad this priority war is going for Israel, by how bad they are, how their, their fundamental inability to grapple with the moment, let alone adjust to it. And you know, it just, it, it feels more and more overwhelmingly like, you know, I would, I would compare it. Not saying there's a one to one comparison, but just something about, like during the COVID insanity, if you remember, Rob, like, it, it was. Look, it wasn't that long. It was really like three years that the nation was swept up in this Covid craziness before everyone just finally called it quits and stopped listening at all, and they had no choice but to roll it all back. And, but if you, if you start from say, like March, April, May of 2020, it felt like it was me and you against the world. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not. There were good people who were on our side too, but you know what I'm saying? It felt like there was this group of us who were like, hey, we're against lockdowns and this is crazy. And like the science doesn't actually justify and against the censorship and, and the whole culture of conformity of follow the science and turn your brain off and don't do your own research. And so you're like, as, as time started going on, just started snowballing, like more and more people just started breaking ranks with, supporting the dumb Covid thing. Now almost, almost every one of your favorite, you know, political pundit commentators was terrible on Covid at the beginning. Almost every one of them. There's. There's a small group of people who were good on it the whole time. That's what, you know, you'll find. Ben Shapiro is, is, you know, saying get the vaccine dopes or whatever he was calling people. And Jordan Peterson was talking about how he got the vaccine so that he could have his freedom back. Just so many of the people really, you know, they failed the moment, but then they slowly started to get off of the sinking ship toward the end. And it became, it started to become a thing by like 2022, okay, all of the policies were like, still in place, but we were like, yo, we're winning. Like, we're winning the argument. And then by 2020, 3. It was just like, yo, this is. You better climb off this ledge if you were on it, because you'll never be respected again unless you do. And then a lot of people did, you know, and. And a lot of people, I'm not even, like, trying to bash them. I'm kind of just saying what happened. There's a lot of people, like, Pierce Morgan will tell you today that he's embarrassed over the stuff he was saying during COVID Ben Shapiro will not defend his get the vaccine dopes come. I'd imagine he won't like. And I gotta say, I just feel like the same thing is happening with support for Israel. Like, it's just like you're at this point where it's like, my God, we. At first there was a ragtag group of us who were against this thing, and then it just snowballed and snowballed and has gotten to a point now where it's just like, wow, dude, they are really losing this. It, it's, it reminds me, I'm not saying it's a one to one comparison, but it reminds me of like, Fauci, like where Netanyahu is now, where it's just like, totally understood, total, just like as much of a consensus as you can get on anything. You can get this consensus, this guy is such a liar. Like, what a monster this guy is. And, you know, like, once it almost felt like with a lot of these guys, like Foushee Cuomo, a lot of them, it was like once that stink got attached to them, they were never going to get it off. I don't know. Does that make sense, Rob?
