Well, I hope you will come back because we would love to have you listening again. And Clay wants you back to. But thank you very much for. Thank you very much for calling in. Would you say. Yeah, this is the Takfiri belief is when you can think about this, you get to declare another Muslim, a non Muslim, a kafir, an apostate, so that you can kill them under Islamic law. This is central jihadist principle. And so. And there sometimes is a little bit of, well, they can be. It's because they're collaborators, we can kill them, or because they're not willing to do stuff. Or, hey, if they die, they're martyrs, so they get to go to heaven with all the virgins, too. This is really what these jihadists believe. This is what they tell themselves. It is a delusion. Again, what I talk about in my book, this is why delusions are so scary, why mass delusions are the biggest threat to humanity. It's not climate change. It's not nuclear winter. It is mass delusion that is the single biggest threat to humanity. And that is why manufacturing delusion, my book, you should go get a copy of today. Buy it. It will arrive February 17th when the books are actually sent to your home. That is pub day. All right, so thank you for those. Thank you very much for those calls. Do we have this? Oh, the audio. Oh, that's a shame. They found this story. It's Buck Sexton clashes with academic over radical Islam this was a great one. They are, in fact coming after us. I said, this is great. I w. We can't, we can't find the audio right now. I'll take you back to it, though. So this is the way that the cnn, the CNN commentariat would operate. When there's an incident like a terror, a horrible terrorist attack. I was there on their desk and they, I was one of the best, I mean, I was actually the best that they had at doing this. Just going to be honest with you. There are other places. There are some really good national security analysts that you will see on Fox. And I mean, as practitioners, very, you know, very smart. You know, Steve Yates is on Fox a lot. You guys know I love him. He's a brilliant guy. He's at Heritage Foundation. Jim Carafano's at Heritage. He's another super smart guy. He's a friend of mine. I go to him like, there are General Jack Keane. I, I don't wanna, I, I start naming people, then I want to name 20 other people. But the Fox has some very good national, like, like top tier national security analysts. When I used to go on cnn, the terrorism analyst that they would have, I'm like, who, Who? They get some professor for some college like nobody's ever heard of, who's like, I don't, I don't like all the Islamophobia in this conversation. I mean, you know, I don't know where this lady came from. You get some guy who was like an Air Force, no offense, Air force, Air Force lieutenant colonel in the 90s or something. It's like, oh, let me tell you what's going on in Syria today. It's like, what, what are you. Buddy, he's got off the golf course at one of your Air Force bases. Come on. But I'm. Boom. So, you know, I sit here and I say to myself, CNN has all these crazies, has all these crazies that are going on. There's a, this was the, the nice attack. Nice France. Basti Day right there. Bastille Day. Bastille Day for. In America. And they. Guys, how. I think it was 80 something died in that attack. And it was a truck that just found the most crowded areas where people were out celebrating the holiday. Beautiful south of France, just crushing people, mowing people down in this truck. No gun truck. And I'm telling you, if we can find the audio, we'll play it for you. It's probably. Guys, check Mediaite. I'm sure it was up on Mediaite. Oh, okay, they got it, they got it. It's big. I, I knew you guys are, you guys never let me down. I knew you'd find this one. But I had some, you know, in my, you know, in my ear about how radical it's all about Islamophobia. I'm like, lady, who are you? Like, what do you know about anything? You're never, if you've been within a hundred miles of an actual Islamic radical. I wrote a book, get out of here. Get out of here. But I was the only one that night who went on and was like, you know, I think the terrorists are the problem. That was a radical concept at CNN at that time, this is 2016. To go on CNN and say, I think the Islamic terrorist is the person that we should really focus on here as the issue and not our inability to assimilate Muslims in Europe specifically. That was what the gist of the conversation was. It's like, you people are just crazy. You know, this is, they're trying to destroy our civilization, they're trying to kill us, they're trying to ruin our day to day lives. I mean, think of, I always have to point this out to everybody too. They'll do this thing and it drives me nuts and I hate this. You'll get like Ezra Klein and some of these supposed intellectuals on the left and they're just, honestly, you have to have some wisdom and some virtue as a person to be really smart in my eyes. It can't just be high iq. There are a lot of high IQ people who make terrible decisions who are on the wrong side of the most important issue that doesn't. There's a difference, there's a difference between high cognition and wisdom. There's a difference between high cognition and having the right answers, knowing what should be done. Huge difference, as you know, in these things and the left on this stuff. They're all, they're just always wrong. It's just so pathetic. They're always wrong. And you know, they'll make these arguments that are, that are absurd. They'll make these arguments that it's always about our Islamophobia. And you never stop, you never stop to say, hold on a second, if assimilation is the problem, are they working hard to assimilate too? Or, you know, why is it our fault? If we're going to pretend that the issue here is the lack of assimilation of the Muslim minority in these countries, why does that inherently fall on us? Do you think that when Irish and German and other immigrant Jews came from Poland and from the Russian step. I mean, the fled and came to America. Do you think that when they arrived, there was this expectation, well, first of all, that we were going to give them all welfare and pay for everything, and two, that, you know, it wasn't on them to figure it out. We were supposed to figure it out for them? No, I always just think this stuff is. Once you get down to the roots of the argument, there are people who are just rooting against us, our way of life, our freedoms. It's true. There. There are people who really root for the other team in all of this, and they can't see that. But that is the end result of where they stand on this stuff. When you're talking about terrorism, specifically radical Islamic terrorism. Oh, but sorry, the other thing I was going to say, see, I could do this stuff all. I haven't. I get to put my terrorism hat on here for counterterrorism, my terrorist analysis hat on here, which is really what. This is why Glenn Beck hired me initially at the Blaze, to his enormous credit, I must say, because I sat down with him at his office in the Blaze, which was empty at the time. Basically, they were just beginning the Blaze. And Glenn sat down and he started asking me little questions, a little bit of this, a little bit of that in the Middle East. And I was at that point so dialed in. I was like an encyclopedia. I'm not gonna lie. I was. Glenn was like, let's hire this kid. Good for him, by the way. Thank you, Glenn. You know, for somebody to, in one meeting decide that he's going to roll the dice and give me a career. But it was these issues that I really knew. But people talk about the. Whether it's the most. It's Islamic terrorism we have to worry about the most, or these other. These other things. I'll say it's white nationalism. You know, the real problem is all the white nationalists in this country. As if, you know, we're worried when we're, when we're going into the. Like I say when I go to tsa, we're worried about some, you know, skinhead with, like, neo Nazi tattoos getting on the plane. Like, give me a break. We all know what we're worried about. Ok, we're all very aware of that. But that goes to my point of the entire terrorist counterterrorist apparatus in America has been overwhelmingly. Until January 6th, and the FBI had to track down, you know, old ladies in their fanny packs for taking a selfie in the Capitol. The whole counterterrorism apparatus has been devoted toward stopping radical Islamic so we've spent trillions of dollars to prevent more 9 11s to prevent the spread of this stuff. And there were a lot of other plots and a lot of other attacks that didn't happen. And now those ones never really get seared into our memory for obvious reasons the way that the successful even smaller scale attacks do. But we have had this massive expenditure for over 20 years to stop people from going Allahu Akbar and hitting the plunger on a suicide vest to stop people from saying Allahu Akbar and mowing down bunch of people who are at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia. To stop people from go down the list all these things and you go over to New York Times. You go, you click on Vox, if that's even still a thing. You go to the Huffington Post and you know what they want to tell you. The real problem is sovereign citizens, white nationalists. That's the real terrorism threat.
