And so if, if that's the, the way they were brought in was by a policy, what sort of policy preferences do you prescribe for removing them, for turning back the tide here?

So, so, uh, there's a big debate, you know, i- is Europe lost or not? Is Belgium lost? Is France lost? Uh, is the UK lost? Well, we...

I don't know the details of this, but I could tell you that I'm very concerned about that.

I think the first thing you have to do is you have to put a moratorium on the craziness.

It has to stop now.

Moratorium.

Then you look at the assimilation patterns.

There's a plan because they want Western society to be destabilized.

How does that end up, and how did it end up for Lebanon?

You know, the warning here is that, unfortunately, it wasn't like that.

So when the country took independence in the 1930s, the majority of the population was Christian.

So it was about 60-40.

And then because of demographics, the numbers shifted, let's say, you know, 50 years later.

And that's when they flexed their muscles.

And in this particular case, not only could they flex their muscle the way this Imam is talking about, but more than that, Lebanon was hosting the PLO, the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which are the grandparents of Hamas, literally.

You know, that's the phony firm in Wall Street that paid Rahm Emanuel $16 million to pretend to be an investment banker, and he never went to

Would you please tell listeners just, uh, a little about that experience? And we'll encourage them to read the book to get the whole feel for it.

Of course.

So, uh, when, when you're in a, in a ru- in an urban w- warfare, um, uh, I, I want your listeners to imagine, uh, their, their favorite, uh, uh, big street in the city that they live in, and then overnight, the east side becomes one side and the west side becomes the other.

So you don't cross anymore.

You're shooting at each other from, from those places where this is going on.

So, uh, uh, uh, the, the, the, the front, my front, the way it was determined, at least for my people, there were five positions that, uh, that, that were, m- you know, uh, uh, fighting and defending against the enemy.

Once the war had kind of settled, like three, four weeks after, they decided we have to do checkpoints in the back because we don't wanna have spies coming in.

Based on your experiences in Lebanon in the mid-'70s and since, what is the warning you want to say to America?

You saw the exact same thing.

Yeah.

Uh, uh, Wayne, uh, your introduction is right on the money.

Yeah, I want to add one thing to everything that you said, and, and I, and I will definitely answer your, your question.

Um, everywhere this happens, uh, where, i- including in Lebanon, by the way, um, Islam gets air cover from the left.

Okay? If you notice in Europe, in France, it's the far-left party that is actually giving them air cover and participating with them in the riots.

Here in the United States, it's always the far left that's involved with them and making sure...

[laughs]

What?

The, the inspiration to my book was the increasing polarization in our country, the politisage- politicization of everything.

Everything is politics, right? Anything that happens tomorrow, we're gonna make it into politics in this country, which is what we did over there.

Um, uh, questioning the results of elections, which both sides have done, right? So that y- y- you know, no trust in the institutions.

Have we seen the numbers recently about Congress, the Supreme Court, and the press? Right? So all of these things put together, I saw the same exact stuff happen over there.

And as you were saying, in LA, you know, in California you might need an AK-47.

I, I'm seeing it here in our country, and I can't have that happen.

He's got dementia, clearly.

Yes.

Uh, fir- fir- first kill, uh...

So because I was the young guy, my job was... one of my jobs with the first couple of days of the war was to distribute sandwiches to, uh, uh, all the different points in the front.

So remember, this is urban warfare, so, uh, it's not like, uh, you know, you have a house that's the front.

Uh, that's a c- that's a center.

You have a, a checkpoint that's a center.

You have an area that's used to be a supermarket.

Do you think the IDF lives by that code of conduct now? Do you think the IDF adheres to what I think it was a very moral code of conduct you just expressed?

Give me a chance to reload here and I'll be right back with you.

And you take a break and you kind of catch up.

You do your own cost-benefit analysis.

How much have I won? How much have I lost? Et cetera.

And they're usually very short.

They're a couple of days.

So when the MOU came out, as a venture guy, I was like, you know, there's a part of me that really wants this war to be over.

He's been neutered.
