This is a problem. You can have people driving pickup trucks into crowds of people and killing them. And this was a guy who's clearly has some serious issues and he seemed to be. In the first video, Jabbar explains he only planned to harm his family and friends. Well, I'm for that. Well, that's fine. I didn't know that's where he was going. I would have said to him, Jabbar, I get it. But was concerned that the news headlines would not focus on the war between the believers and the disbelievers. Believers in what? Jabbar? But again, this is my thing. ISIS is going to have a field day with recruitment. Now isis, I'm telling you, if you are a recruiter in isis, you are going to have a field day. It is going to be easy for you to get people because here's the deal. As America throws people in the street as our financial system, I mean when it, when a CEO of a healthcare company gets shot and it, and outside it's the Rose bowl, you know that people aren't thrilled, they're not happy, nor should they be. I mean when the CEO of a company gets shot in the head in New York City and everybody is cheering that on, truly like it's a ticker tape parade for their favorite baseball team. You, you, you have a population of people. Can we say they're angry? Can we say they're frustrated? Can we say they're not happy? We can say all of those things and I think we'd be correct to say it. Now you have people in ISIS that are recruiting going, man, it's, we're going to be able to pick off a few people. Does it help that we brought a bunch of people into this country from countries that have sympathetic views towards isis? No, that doesn't help. That's not helpful that we've imported lots of people from cultures that Think ISIS is kind of cool. That's not great. We've done that. If you talk about it, if you suggested it's not a good idea, if you say let's maybe, you know, take it down a notch with that, you're dismissed as a Nazi racist KKK psychopath, you're a problem, you're in a militia. You know, if you question at all the wisdom of importing cultures that have nothing to do with western civilization and it, and in fact abhor it, and some of them by the way, for reasons I can understand, cuz we've been around in their countries for a while and I didn't, nobody was, you know, I, I wasn't doing it. But it's been the policy of our country to do things all over the world that aren't great. And then these people show up and they go, by the way, we're going to hit you people where you live on Bourbon Street. And I'm not saying it's justified or good, but we can say, is it not a great idea to be all over the world in everybody's business and then importing people from those cultures into our country and just seeing what happened. It's like that Bravo, like, you know, the Bravo. Watch what happens. That's every time I think about our immigration policy and our foreign policy and how they're linked. It's the Bravo, the network. Bravo's three fucking word little teaser. Watch what happens, watch whatever. And we're seeing it. But what caused the 42 year old Jabbar here. Go back up. What caused the 42 year old Jabbar, a US citizen raised in Texas to be radicalized remains unknown. I'm going to guess it might be the religion that I'm going to tell you right now, a part of it's going to be the religion. But what caused 42 year old Jabbar, US citizen raised in Texas to be radicalized remains unknown. Huh? What caused him to do it? It's going to be a little bit of the religion, I'm telling you, it's going to be a little bit of that. I'm not saying we haven't made mistakes in that part of the world, but I'm telling you right now, the, the going and dying for something, committing an act like that and then dying for the cause seems to be at least tangentially related to the religion. It seems to have some, there seems to be a corollary. He, he was maybe looking for some types of answers. Abdul Jabbar told Reuters in an interview at his home in Beaumont, Texas, noting that his brother had recently renewed his Muslim faith after abandoning it in his 20s and 30s. Interesting. I'm. I'm wondering if that was any type of tell. I could be wrong. I'm just curious if that was perhaps a tell. He was smart, funny, charismatic, loving, compassionate, humble, and literally wouldn't hurt a fly. Oh, okay. That's lovely. That's why it's so devastating. This degree of maliciousness is not like him. We were trying to understand what changed too. And while he faced financial struggles, his father suffered a stroke. But here's the deal. There's a lot of people that face financial problems in America. A lot of people's families have strokes. A lot of people. Very few of those people get in a car and drive it down a crowded street on New Year's Eve. He was deployed in Afghanistan in a non combatant role. We've made a big mess, haven't we? Doesn't it feel like a big mess? It feels like a big mess. We were in an unwinnable war. It was a bad idea. Guys like this went over there, witness God only knows what. Now they're back. There's no mental health care. They're all insane. And now they're renting the cars on Turo. I rented a car on Turo once. It was a 7 Series BMW and I drove it very fast in Palm Springs. And this piece of goes. I have a thing on my car. It shows you went 107. It's like you, you. It's neither here nor there. The point is Turo too. Unless they advertise because it is a good. Here's the thing, let's be honest about Turo and send this clip to them. It does seem convenient. I will say it does seem convenient to get. But of course, you know, this does seem to be a big mess. This is why you. You can't expect all of the things you do in the world to not matter. And you cannot expect everyone that you open the door of this country to. To not engage in these activities. This is going to be a problem. Is going to be a big problem. And this is, I think, one of the main reasons. Jabbar also said in the videos that he had joined the Islamic State before last summer and provided his last will and testament, according to Raya. Hold on, hold on. Why is he on riots for celebrities? That's. Oh, wait, FBI. Oh, Christopher Rya. Christopher Rya is a deputy assistant director of the FBI. I thought he was on Raya, the dating service for People that have lots of followers. I was like, riot could cause anyone to drive a truck through a crowded group. Jabbar did not have a violent criminal record prior to his attack, though he sentenced to 12 months probation for driving under the influence. Here's the thing, when someone gets very devout in the Muslim faith, you run a little bit of a risk. You run a little bit of a risk. I don't want to sound insensitive about it, but you run a little bit of a risk. By the way, just like if I, if you, if you started doing end times Christianity on me, you start doing the survivalist stuff, you start going hard in that direction. It's never an indication that your mental health is ideal. It's never an indication that things are great if you start with the like, end times prophecy, doomsday cult stuff. So now we're going to look inside the Bourbon street home of this attacker because they said he was like living in squalor, but I don't know. Photos of the inside of his home in a majority Muslim neighborhood in north Houston revealed multiple copies of the Quran, a book on Christianity, and a book about teaching children about Islam. Yeah, I mean, this again, doesn't look great for the argument that the diversity being the strength. I'm just, again, I'm trying not to be pessimistic about all of the diversity that's ideal and necessary and all at all times are good. It might not be always good. It might be good sometimes. Sometimes diversity can be really, really good. You know what I mean? People always bring up the food, which I get. Ooh, yum, yum. Look. Different kinds of food, not always as good. When you're standing on Bourbon street and there's a truck in your back, that's not good, that's not ideal. We don't want that. Diversity has many angles. Yum, yum, rice, halal food. Good. And I'm not trying, I'm just saying, like, can we not admit that it's a little bit of a double edged sword? Is that not, Is it not okay? And there's Muslims that watch the show probably agree with me, by the way. I mean, it's just what it is. It's not. You can't. There's a lot of people that left that part of the world to get away from the religiosity, the conflicts. And then there's a lot of people that are coming to this part of the world to bring with them the religiosity and the conflicts. And I don't know who's Who? That's tough. That's difficult. It's. It's not easy to figure out exactly who is which. You go, so how do you feel about isis? What do you think? Good, bad, or. It's complicated. Like, I don't know how. A next door neighbor who asked not to be identified, told Fox News Digital that he had seen Jabbar loading up a white pickup truck on Tuesday outside of his Houston home the morning before the attack. The neighbor said he spoke with Jabbar, who told him he had gotten a job, was moving to Louisiana. Interesting, huh? Well, this is the house. Can we see it? Yeah. An exterior view of Shamsu Din Jabbar's home in Houston. I gotta be honest, go back up, make it a little larger. I'm going on curb appeal only. I don't love it. I don't love it. I don't love it. It seems. Is it a trailer? It seems like a modular home. It's a trailer on a foundation. Go down. Yeah, yeah. All right. It's a little more charming because of the. You have to see the yard. The problem is that people lived in the military shouldn't live like that. I mean, people who served in our military shouldn't really live like that. Like they should have. We should give them more. They're making a sacrifice for America that we should give them more. I don't know that. You know, again, a lot of terrorists or people that spread an ideology of, of, of radical Islam aren't poor. The bin Laden family wasn't poor. A lot of people wahabas in Saudi Arabia, a lot of them are not poor. Uh, the Qatari royal family is not poor. All of these people, it's not easy to say, but now the poor people are the ones that are often willing to just go blow themselves up because they don't have much to lose. So I don't think it's an economic issue, but we shouldn't have people fighting in our military that come to live in those, in those. If that can be helped. Now, we can't obviously insulate people from every decision they make.
