Because the fact is, and I'll say this to you Buck directly, the vast Majority of ISIS's victims are Muslim. Not us, not the Muslims. I'm fully aware, fully aware of that. I mean, no one just they're coming after us. They're not coming after us more than they're coming after us. I was referring to the Islamic State, which very clearly through its external operations arm, which has been at work, by the way, for a number of years now, along with Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which until recently was considered the most virulent and deadly of the jihadist terrorist organizations for this kind of external plotting. They are continuing to do this. Of course. They're killing Muslims. They're killing Muslims in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, in Iraq. I've actually seen some of the handiwork of what they've done in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. This is to protect for the people who are doing it. They can consider themselves Muslim as well, even though the victims are Muslim. I'm not getting into a theological discussion. I'm trying to just focus on the counterterrorism. She's saying. She's saying that the people who are it's being perpetrated against are Muslim, but the attackers can be Muslim as well. Right. But I have to say I don't understand why that's being directed at me. By no means did I say that wasn't the case or it wasn't True. So I don't understand why that's being directed me. I'm merely saying you said they're coming after us. They're not just. Yes, they are. They are in fact coming after us. We need to sit here and talk about all the time after each other. They're going after Shia. I'm referring to America and Europe and the west and all peaceful Muslims and everyone around the world who doesn't believe that strapping a suicide vest on because you're disaffected, because you have some belief that somehow this will take you to a place of paradise and vergence. Whatever the case may be. Everybody who isn't on that team is on my team. This notion you have in your head that when I say us, I'm referring to what Republican Americans. I was in the counterterrorism. I was working with foreign allies all over the world to try and stop these kinds of attacks. Implication that's preposterous. And I have to be honest with you, after this sort of an attack happens, there is this knee jerk reaction that we see from people who are center to left of center constantly trying to sort of wrap all this around the bad rhetoric of people who want to speak openly and honestly about terrorism. We're just trying to empower the moderates from within Muslim societies. We're trying to empower our allies in countries that we do work with in the Muslim world and outside the Muslim world to stop people from getting mowed down at a celebration of a national holiday. That's it. Which include other Muslims. I've said that four or five times already. Okay, we're getting off track here. We are getting off track. Thank you. Nice try. Lemon, you moron. That guy's a. Honestly, a true dumbass. And I would say it to his face right now. Over. And I don't. I could care less. He is a dumbass. Really. The fact that CNN gave him his own show as long as they did is. Is appalling. And he's a baby, too. He's unprofessional. He's a baby. He's childish and dumb. So. And anyway, there's a little third. Notice the little back and forth he's trying to get it back to. We really just want to talk about Islamophobia. This was within hours of 86 people being mowed down by a truck. And we didn't even play some of the other people all the throat clearing about, oh, this is really about, you know, we don't want to single out Islam or whatever it's like that's your takeaway. That the big problem we face is, you know, this is the. I mean he did some great stuff. Norm MacDonald did some great stuff. I think though maybe his all time great is that the real threat is that they're going to detonate a nuclear bomb in an American city. And just think of all the Islamophobia that will happen. Because that really just gets to the core of this, of this insanity. It's like, it's like a death wish from within our own society. The problem isn't the terrorists. Whether it's in Bondi or it's on Brown University campus or, or it's, you know, at, at the Covington School or it's in Iraq or it's, you know, the problem are not the enemies of civilization. The problem is the people who are trying to stop them. And everything we do to stop them somehow either justifies them or makes them worse. This we saw in Gaza too. Look at Israel with Gaza October 7th. Everything Israel does is, is terrible. It's bad, it's genocide according to some people. And it's making the problem worse. You're creating future generations of suicide bombers. Trust me this, they love Gaza suicide bombers plenty before October 7th happened and before the Israeli response. Gaza. The Palestinians have been celebrating that stuff for as long as I have been alive. They're not celebrating, you know, their great math scores on the testing there. I gotta tell you, they're not celebrating all the achievements they're making in the sciences. But suicide bombers, they got a lot of time to celebrate that. It's just true. And so why do you think now we have all these. Do you think it's just the mayor of Providence? I'm sorry, not the mayor, the police chief of Providence who doesn't want to say what has already been reported by eyewitnesses that this guy was yelling Allah walk bar. No, it's his boss. The mayor. Probably got a call from whatever, you know, Democrat, third rate clown is the gut. Who's the governor of Rhode island right now? I don't even know. I mean it's like, you know, I mean is Rhode island even really a state? Guys, let's be honest. It's kind of like Massachusetts. Little brother, whoever the whole Daniel McKee. Be honest with you. Never heard of this guy. He's a Democrat, right? Obviously the state's very Democrat. Or is he one of those like Mitt Romney Republicans, Democrat. All right, we'll find out. My point is the chief of police knows that the whole game here is we gotta make sure we keep a grip on all the Islamophobia. Gotta keep a grip on all the Islamophobia. Um, no, actually, I think we should be honest about things because, you see, and this is what's happening more and more, and now that we even have X, at least we have one place where people can share things more honestly without fear of being shut down or throttled. At least not in the same way they were before. We all notice this, and they're never going to really win a war on noticing. Actually, this is a perfect place for me to bring into this conversation something that I think is we should. Can we put this up, team? I haven't even sent this to you yet, but I wanted to get to it today. I'm not sure Clay will be as fired up about this one tomorrow as I am, so I wanted to get to it, but it's this piece in compact. I'm sorry, wait, let me make sure I have the. I'm giving this the right. Yes. CompactMag.com CompactMag.com, the Lost Generation by Matthew Schmitz. This is. We should put it up@clanbuck.com. this is an amazing takedown, piece by piece, of what has really happened in the DEI apparatus in America in the last 10 years. He even says he starts this off beginning. I'm quoting him here. Beginning in 2014, Prestige Industries decided they urgently needed to diversify. They didn't purge established boomers. Instead, they did everything possible to avoid hiring white millennial men. This is the story of a generation derailed by dei. This is what I have observed, and it really coincided with my time in the private sector, at least in the media, this obsession with, you know, who ran cnn? An old white guy, Jeff Zucker. But who are they trying to hire? As many minorities and particularly minority women as possible for all the roles, the lower down roles. Right. The entry level and, you know, the three to five year kind of positions. This is true across Wall street, true across law, and they were open about it. This is what the diversity, hiring. And one of the reasons why I think there's such a frustration to my fellow millennials out there. We got the. We got the worst of this. It was the generation above. You know, if you really hit your peak professional years in the 90s, you. Yeah, there was some of this, but you escaped it. But if you started to. In the. In the early mid-2000s, 2010, you know, if you were trying to hit your professional peak, you were completely locked out of. Act as a White male. So if you were a, if you were around age 30 at this time, 30 to 45, let's say as a white male, or even entry levels, let's say, you know, 20 to 20 to 45, you were non hireable, unhirable in Hollywood as a writer, in academia, all the colleges, all the, this whole piece, this Matthew Schmitz guy, it's a brilliant piece, truly, and you should read it because you'll understand what's really happened to my generation. And I was only able to escape it because of some good luck, some great mentors, you know, Glenn and Rush and people letting me have a chance in a business that has a very high failure rate to begin with, which is, you know, media and commentary. But I saw it all around me. My, my peers, my colleagues, you know, not in media, but people that I knew in other industries, particularly people I knew were trying to make it in creative industries. No chance. You weren't going to get that writing in Hollywood. You had no shot. He goes through all these different details, but also, you know, you look at a place like Goldman Sachs and I actually had a friend some years ago who was an in HR at Goldman Sachs and she talked to me about this extensively. All the guys who were at the very top, once they started doing this stuff 10 years ago, the people who were the fat cats who were making the big bucks, they got to stay. They, no, no, diversity did not mean we were replacing the CEO. That, that is not what it meant. Diversity over the last 10 years meant, oh, you're 25, you need a job. Sorry, we have to take somebody who is a person of color. Oh, you're 30 years old and you're, you're looking for your big break to get into, like I said, a university teaching position, news media, television, television writing. No chance has to be. And you know, this is the part of it, these institutions, I mentioned this before with Brown University, they became a lot less impressive because they got rid of standards. They started making decisions not based upon excellence at the craft or the ability that one has, but on skin color, explicitly racist policies. And this was all throughout our society. And it was my age cohort going up 10 years and down 10 years, give or take. So say, you know, if you're, if you're 30 to 50 right now, man, you got screwed over professionally. If you were trying to work in any of these fields. And the other part of it is you're not allowed to notice, you're not allowed to notice that when they started doing this and they insisted on hiring women and minorities for roles that otherwise white men would have gotten. And like I said, this piece, Compact Mag.com writes it up. We'll put it up atclay and buck.com so you can find it easily. We'll cross post it there. These play all of a sudden TV got really bad. Movies started to suck. What happened? Well, you weren't hiring the best writers anymore. It's pretty straightforward. Also, the publishing industry, I was telling about books before, what's happened to conservative books publishing industries in a really rough state. You know why? They had published too many white male authors. And so there was all this rush to publish books that are garbage, but the people were the right color or the right gender for the purposes of the publishers. And remember, the people that are going to get their break, not the, you know, if you were established, if you were a boomer, you, and you were at one of these elite institutions, you already had tenure or the equivalent thereof. It was everybody else that you, it was the, it was the millennials who got fed, you know, into the wood chipper of DEI madness professionally. And this piece goes into details about it. And these places are not elite anymore. And Hollywood TV writing got really crappy and we all noticed, we have all in fact noticed. So they can tell us. You're not allowed to notice these things, whether it's radical Islam and terrorism or DEI and the quality of the scripts that you're, you're seeing produced on tv. But we do in fact notice. So that is, that is where that stands. And I really, I thought that piece was, was, was very powerful. No matter how safe you think you are, you can be safer. You want to be prepared.
