The Scott Adams School - 06/30/26 IRAN, ISLAM and More

Oh my gosh, look who's with us today. We have BJ in the house. Yes.

Buenos días. Good morning, everybody.

There's our—

we asked him to wear Marcella's dress, but he said no.

We did try. He's like, excuse me.

Yeah, that's never going to happen.

Marcella had to leave last minute. She's got a court situation.. And we wish her good luck. Not that she'll need it. Okay, there. Joined in with the group. There's everybody. Look at you guys. You guys, June 30th. What the heck? I never learned that poem about how many days of the month are in each month. So I don't know if we have 31 or 30.

30.

In July. 30.

Did you ever learn the knuckle trick for that?

Yeah, that's the easiest one.

No. Show me, Owen.

Well, you can start with You can start with January on a, on a knuckle and it has 31 days, right? January has 31 days and the knuckles have 31 days. And if you just count across, it actually works.

So the space in between the knuckles is your month with less than 31 days. So you have January, February, March, April, May. You do that all the way through.

No, that one. I mean, all right. All right. All right. I'm speechless. Okay.

I wonder if it's related. It's similar to why we have 60 seconds in a minute and 300. Do you know why we have 60 seconds in a minute?

Tell me.

It's because the way the Sumerians used to count, they had a 60-based number system, so they didn't have 10 numbers. They had 60 numbers. And the way they would count them, instead of going 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, what they would do, and I've seen a lot of people in Mexico do this, I guess it's a carryover, they would go 1, they count all the pads on each finger, they go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and you multiply that times 5, you get 60. That's why everything we do around time is based around 60 because it's a throwback to them.

Where's my, my mathematicians out there that are just like, okay, I, I, all right, I got to get to the sip because math makes me sweat. So, and so does perimenopause, but that's beside the point. All right, you guys, we got to do it. Let's go.

I hope that you have made time for this most important, important, critical, really almost emergency simultaneous sip. And it's going to happen now because I think you need it. I think we all need it. There's nothing we need but a little bit of normal behavior amid all the craziness. And all you need to enjoy the simultaneous sip is a cup or mug or a glass or tank or chalice or stein, a canteen, jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, thing that will make everything better, including the coronavirus. We're gonna get this thing. Oh yeah, we're gonna get it. And when I say get it, I mean beat it, not necessarily get it. Although you might get it and then you'll beat it too. Because if you've enjoyed the simultaneous sip, you're stronger than most people. You know it. Sip now.

Ah.

Okay, will you guys humor me? I'm deleting that one. Because that one played yesterday. Every day I delete it, it comes back.

Can we do—

It's a good reminder that every single one of you listening is stronger than the coronavirus.

That's right. But can we do one more sip? Because I can't take it. Let's, let's just double up today because we have a lot to get to. So one more sip. Here we go.

But first, it's a good day because you're here and you're about to enjoy the simultaneous sip. And it's not, not many things better than that, really. And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or stein, a canteen, jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better, including the coronavirus. Go. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

I feel my immune response up to the challenge.

Thanks, Beverly, for doing the unparalleled pleasure twice. And note to self, no more coronavirus sips. I got to send that to Jay. I think we're over it because that pandemic lasted way too long for these sips. So thank you, you guys. My name is Erica. You are at the Scott Adams School. I'm joined today, of course, with Owen and with BJ. So we have a great show for you. Thank you for the double sip. And BJ, Canada, we got, we got to talk about Canada. We got to talk about— listen, I honestly tried to get away from talking about Islam today, But I swear, I swear, I swear I did. But it's so on fire now. Everybody has finally caught up. So it's so strange because I used to just always be talking about like, listen, you guys, slow-moving disaster. This is a problem. It's coming, it's coming. And now all the news stories are about socialism, communism, Islam. We have problems. So I did try to get away from it. So we have some of that, some of Iran, and I definitely want to do, um, Iran first so we can get that out of the way, um, and see what's going on. But First, can you imagine— I can— a Mayor Dave Portnoy from Barstool Sports? He was on with Jesse last night, and he can't take it anymore either. I think Gen X is going to have to step in here. Let's see what he said.

So I've always thought I would never get involved in politics. I think you can do more in the private sector. This and what is going on has actually made me pause that thought. I was saying to you that old Plato quote, You know, if you don't do your public service and run for office, you're doomed to be run by basically dummies. And right now I feel like that's what's happening. Now, not everyone's getting out to vote. I think what the Democrats have done is they've let the fox into the henhouse. And now he's just running rampant and kicking them all out. So it's a scary time. We need leaders to step up. Depending on what day you catch on me in Nantucket, when I roll out of bed, I have a nice ocean view and it's like, why do I wanna ruin my life and get involved in this mess because I know what comes with it. But sometimes I do feel like it's my duty. I can't turn away. I feel like I could make a change. Maybe I do run in politics. So I don't know. It depends on the day you catch me. But let me say this. I spend a lot of my day losing my mind on what's happening right now, especially in New York. I mean, you got the Nazi in Maine. This really, really, really worries me. So I'm not sure.

You might run against Mondani.

I would love to run against— if I was going to run, it would be here. Can I win here? I have no idea. I don't know the demographics, whether they get enough votes. There's a lot of people who like me in New York City. I know that I've done a lot of good in New York City when I wasn't thinking about politics, whether it's the Barstool Fund, pizza places. So it wasn't for show. I've had a real job. I've done real things, unlike these clown politicians who have never had a job and never been in the real world for a day.

Right.

But the people voting for these people who just won are like these young, white, like Ivy League-ish, elitish women. It's like, who are they? Like, they'll never vote for me. They'll never believe in common sense.

Yeah, I mean, I feel that in my soul. Um, could he win? I don't know. But Dave Portnoy, you guys, he, he's the owner, founder of Barstool Sports. He's a bajillionaire, and he does live a really, really great life. And, you know, it's frustrating. And so here's someone also like Donald Trump who is living a great, great life. And I think that certain people who have these kind of like leadership skills and know how to do things, they get so frustrated that they're like, oh my God, I'll give up my beautiful private life to help save the country I love. Owen, what do you think? Could we have a Dave Portnoy as a mayor?

Sure, let's go.

Love to see it.

I don't, I don't know if he'd get elected, but, you know, I'd love to see the race. It'd be a fun race.

I mean, you can totally dig the frustration, right?

Oh yeah.

I mean, I, I think it's, it's, it is getting bad. I, I posted some stories today about the whole DSA takeover of the Democratic Party and how it's kind of ruining it. And, um, a lot of people are bending the knee and saying, oh, we have this big tent now. And, you know, that like they're trying to just embrace it and it's number one, kind of sad, but number two, I, I don't think it's going to end well for them. I think, um, all these establishment politicians are doing the, the normal virtue signaling thing, like, don't, don't take out— don't take me out, I'm your friend. And, um, they don't seem to realize that they're all going to get taken out if they let it continue, that the DSA isn't interested in negotiating with people. They're not interested in saying, oh, we're going to work with these people. No, they're just going to keep primarying people and keep putting their people in place, and they want to take over the Democratic Party. And, you know, that's, that's what they're really trying to do right now. And, um, if I were advising these establishment Democrats, which I would never do, but, you know, if I was, I would say you need to stand up to them now. You need to stop them now. You need to push them out, similar to how the Republicans, you know, got rid of the Tea Party. Like, you need to dismantle that somehow, otherwise it's going to take over your party and you're not going to have it anymore.

Mm-hmm. What do you— so, BJ, I mean, it might not be Dave Portnoy, but I think that Dave Portnoy is just like an example of many, many people who know how to get shit done, how they're feeling too, watching their country slip away. What do you think about not necessarily— I mean, Dave, but like people feeling this way?

Well, I think Dave's great. The problem is he said something that's very important that he passed over is getting involved in politics would ruin my life. It totally does. As somebody who's got involved involved in politics, you realize how the world really works and how the gears of the machine work. It's all about money. That's all it is. But his ability to fundraise would probably be quite significant. Could he out-fundraise the terrorist organizations that are behind Mamdani? And by the way, I don't say that hyperbolically because I was involved in lawsuits where we were law-faired by the same terrorist organizations that are behind Mamdani. So it's very serious. This is all foreign money. But, you know, between him— like, Trump likes everybody who's a winner, doesn't care if people are Democrat or, you know, Democrat-leaning, let's say, traditional Democrat. He's open to anybody who's on the same team, and I think that would be an excellent candidate for New York. Will he win? I think he's— if he gets the fundraising right and he plays nice with the right aspects of the establishment that he needs to, then yeah, he probably has a chance 'cause people are freaking out in New York right now. It's like finally people got the memo of what many of us have been screaming about for the past 15 years that yeah, we got a problem. And so yeah, I think it'd be great.

Uphill Gardener, I see your comment on YouTube, like why do we want billionaires running everything? It's not that we want billionaires running everything, but billionaires tend to be people who know how to run things, how to achieve, how to solve problems. And then they also have the networks of the people that know how to do the things that need to be done. So you don't get to be a billionaire typically by being stupid. So do I want a billionaire to step up or do I want another Mondami to step up? I mean, probably the billionaire. Someone who likes capitalism would be great.

I, I would add that being a billionaire gives them another advantage, which is they're, they're not as easily purchased, right? You know, a lot of these politicians that go in with no net worth and no significant things, and then suddenly they're multi-millionaires— that, that came from somebody taking control of those people, and they have control over those people. And, and I think that's one of the reasons why Donald Trump was probably the only president in my lifetime, at least, that hasn't been controlled by the party or controlled by whatever interests are behind the party, because he had his own money and he didn't care, and he wasn't doing it for the money, and almost everyone else had to listen to those people and depend on the— at least the fundraising, but in, in many cases it's more than that. And they're, they're essentially beholden to whoever allowed them to get that money.

I think the way to frame it too is, uh, do you want an entrepreneurial free market billionaire, or do you want a champagne socialist with foreign money behind them? Because Yeah, he may not be a billionaire, but the entire infrastructure around him.

Yes.

Imam Dhani is tens of billions of dollars, which is— and that money is specifically to destroy the United States from the inside.

That's right. It's so true. You know, some people say like, oh, I don't— you know, on YouTube, I don't know if he's a good guy. Does it matter? Like, if you think he'd be like an acceptable boyfriend or husband or what? It doesn't— it doesn't matter. Like, you don't like if he's in gambling or— listen, he knows how to get stuff done. You know, did, do people think Trump's a good guy? No. Did you think Biden was? No. Did you think Clinton was? No. So like, let's get realistic. Um, it's gonna take somebody. It, it, it, it really does come down to what you said, BJ. It's either gonna take someone with foreign money who wants to destroy our country, or it's gonna take someone that maybe you don't love their persona or who they are, but they have money and they love the country and they're not taking money from anyone else and they're gonna do what's right for the country. So, That's easy for me.

But it's also an advantage. You know, I've had this argument with people so many times when people in 2016 that, oh, Trump is, you know, he's an a-hole, he's this. I'm like, good, good. That's what I want. I don't want a nice guy who's going to be soft with communists. No, I want the biggest a-hole we can find to make their lives miserable and want to go away. Right?

Yeah. I mean, I go back to Trump's first term and I forget what summit he was at, but remember that, that clip of him where he was pushing his way through the other other world leaders, and he like straightens out his tie. Yeah, like that took, that took some chutzpah to do that. And he was like, I'm getting in the front, you're— I'm not gonna stand back here like a shrinking violet. That's what you want. Um, yeah, so, uh, so you know what, Dave Portnoy, go for it. Anyone else that's like Dave Portnoy, you're a patriot, you have a shit ton of money, and no one can silence you, do it, do it. That's what we need. Um, all right, so Let's go. The other thing I want— actually, any more on that from you guys? I didn't want to cut you off.

Yeah, I think I'd rather an American. Sorry, go ahead. Go ahead.

I just hope that Rosie O'Donnell comes back to run against him.

I know, except she'll be filling in for Jimmy Kimmel. If anyone wants to see Rosie O'Donnell and her new facelift, she'll be filling in for Jimmy Kimmel while he's on vacation for a little while. And what did you want to say, BJ? An American?

I can't top that.

Okay.

Okay. No, you don't want to top Rosie O'Donnell. Okay, so, um, BJ, what is going on in Canada? I have this little short baby clip I want to play. I was going to do Iran first, but let's just get into it. Um, here's a little clip and then we'll chat.

This committee and the federal guide to combating Islamophobia— across these reports, there is a clear consensus that combating Islamophobia requires deep structural reform and sufficient institutional capacity. Second, and in light of the documented rise in anti-Muslim hate and incidents and violent Islamophobia, we advance recommendations focusing on protecting Muslim communities and community spaces. The federal government should allocate at least $40 million through the Canada Community Security Program or a comparable dedicated funding stream to support security infrastructure and protective measures for approximately 755 mosques and 100 Islamic schools. This amount is proportion—

he wants $40 million to combat Islamophobia in Canada.

Yeah, that's, uh, last time it was $28 million. And, um, you know, it's, it's interesting that a lot of this money ends up in foreign countries. Um, the only thing I can say about— I can't get into too much detail, but You know the file that Trump has around the killings of Christians in Nigeria? Yeah, that's where this money goes. And many of us have been trying to warn about it for many, many years, and we're in such a good position now because I can now say, "Oh, look at the terrorist wearing the terrorist shematta," because that's what he is. What we confuse here is people think all terrorists are trigger pullers. No, no, no, terrorists are trigger pullers, they're funders, they're people who get involved in political entryism through political parties. And that specifically, that's the press room on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. You don't get access to the press room unless you are part of the political establishment. That's how bad it is. You know, the Trudeau government had— we, we knew at the time— 11 Muslim Brotherhood members of parliament in our government. We've had a Muslim Brotherhood attorney general in Canada already, not federally but on the provincial level. The good news is at least people are now paying attention. It's, uh, I don't think it's too late, but people need to speak clearly on this issue and not be afraid to talk about it, which is what I think is the biggest problem. People are fearful and they want to just wash it away. They don't want to get, you know, they don't want to get involved in any of the noise. But I'm sorry, either you get involved and you speak up, or you will not have a civilization and you're going to turn into France. And, you know, France didn't have an Éric Zemmour amongst their media class who's decided, like Portnoy, okay, I'm gonna run for president. If he didn't— if we didn't have that, then France itself would be doomed in the future as well to become another Islamic Republic, which might be the case.

I'm pretty sure they are doomed already.

Yeah, England's pretty, uh, pretty suspect. I think Restore Britain is probably their, their one hope, because since Nigel invited the basically Islamists into his party I think reform is just another establishment, you know, that establishment takeover of that party. And, uh, you know, they have one hope left, and, uh, hopefully they'll get it right. But at least people are willing to talk about it now, which is great. And yeah, we owe that to Elon Musk and buying Twitter. I think that's what's the big change was.

I agree. And that's what I was saying, like, even though I was trying to get away from it today just to have a breather from it, because it's like, it does takes your breath away, you can't because people are so on it now. Like, they're just like, holy crap, everything's changing. And I was looking, Montreal Galaxy, um, in the chat was saying she was in the press room for 3 years, and she said that you had to be sponsored by a party to get into that press room. Unlike, you know, we had a President Obama who invited the Muslim Brotherhood to the White House privately, you know, dozens and dozens of times while he was president. Why? Um, you know, and That's kind of how I've been seeing things lately. It's like Obama, it was like this is just my opinion, but he came in, they were like, okay, let's have him give a nice speech. He has a nice way about him. And then he's like that snake in the grass, in my opinion. And now you have Mamdani, who is like Obama times 100 because he's got even more charisma and he's right into New York City and he's He's got other people now that he's promoting that are winning elections. And the one woman, Chevalier, I'm not going to say it with a French accent, but she's the one that was like, we need to eradicate the West and get rid of everything. So it's like this weird slippery slope. And somebody wanted to know too, I'm sorry, I think it was B. D. Lyon wanted to know more about BJ, the terrorists funding socialists. Like, is it— who, who is it? Is it like, uh, this is just me talking now, like, is it Antifa people? Is it the Muslim Brotherhood? Is it, you know, who's sponsoring the politicians?

It's complicated because it's not— there are many vectors and there's many different groups. And, you know, once one organization or NGO gets shut down and loses their charitable status The same people go and open another NGO, but it goes to even law firms, very large international law firms that launder this money through escrow accounts into networks of mosques that they distribute them to the mosque. And this is how they take over the political structures. So the, the red— like, for example, we had a candidate in the Conservative Party in Canada, so me and many other people lost our minds. Uh, he was an Islamist. He was a Pakistani Islamist, but he worked for the Bank of China. Think about that. Works for the Bank of China, right? So this— it's many different, um, entities, organizations, countries, like a large, uh— there's such a large amount of money that came from the Morsi government from Egypt that came directly into Canada. When the Morsi government fell, they basically raided the treasury laundered the money legally into Canada somehow, but it's all illegal money. This is why you hear people talking about Qatar all the time, because Qatar is the bank, right? Qatar is the bank for every terrorist organization. That's where they put— they funnel the money through. You see that in the crypto space when you see all these crypto people that are obsessed with Israel, for example. That is money that goes from Qatar to Pakistan through the ISI, which is a— that's their intelligence apparatus, but it's basically might as well be Al-Qaeda. India. They're very extreme. And that money then goes into crypto projects that are based out of Pakistan, and that goes to pay people online to propagandize and brainwash people, wash people in the rest— in the West. So it's very— it's a— draw a map of it, it would be many, many organizations, individuals, all that sort of stuff. But there's— the good news is, in the case of Canada, and the US is, is similar in this respect, Remember Trump suggested that the problem is, uh, in Washington, that there's 85% of the, uh, of the crimes are committed by a small group of whatever it was, 500, 600 people. I can't remember the exact number. It's the same thing with the jihad terrorism funding and money laundering. It's the same group of people. In Canada's case, is about 400 people that are trying to radicalize, prop up the MSA on university campuses. Radicalize young people, launder money, all that sort of stuff. If you get those people out, then the rest of the people who are Muslim here, they just don't get involved in politics. Like, that's an indicator warning when you see somebody who is Muslim who is very, very ambitious and assertive about politics. Doesn't mean they're Muslim Brotherhood, but look at the funding behind them, and that becomes the indicator warning that, okay, you're dealing with somebody's actual terrorists.

Um, EJ doesn't believe a word you say. I'm sure you found that shocking.

Um, I think because EJ is either an Islamist or he's on the, the ultra— on the kind of— we call it the woke right, but that's not really the right frame. It's the, uh, integralists. They're left-wing people who think they're right-wing, but their philosophy is entirely left-wing. And they've— they become mouthpieces for the Muslim Brotherhood. Yuri Bezmenov called them The Useful Idiots. That's exactly what he's talking about.

Okay.

And E.J., are you Muslim? No, he won't.

He won't tell you even if he is.

Oh, okay. All right. So anyway, all right. That's interesting. Oh, and anything on what B.J. just said or moving on?

Oh, I think we can move on. I think B.J.'s the expert on all this stuff. Yeah.

Well, so, and yesterday I had mentioned that I wish I had pulled the clip that there was a police, I think, chief from Dearborn. You know, so we— did you love Brandon Darby coming on, BJ? Wasn't he great? Did you see him?

I only saw a clip of it.

Okay. He was so great. But we were saying to him, you know, look, what do we do? You know, how, how does this, you know, get solved? And he said, you're going to have to hope that law enforcement can do their job and this and that. And I said, well, Except for the fact that law enforcement is now being infiltrated by these same people. And then I saw this clip from Dearborn, Michigan, and it's a little startling. So Dearborn, Michigan, you guys, used to be like so Americana, it's not even funny. And now this is their police chief.

Wonderful wife, Deanna, a strong, proud Palestinian woman. When I joined the department, Dearborn's Arab American population was near nearly 50%. Yet less, yet less than 3% of our police force reflected the community that we served. The department was not always welcoming to people who were different. Today, the Dearborn Police Department is the department that I wish I worked for when I first started my career. It's now a department that reflects and embraces the community it serves, with 45% of our Arab, our officers being Arab American. It's a department that respects the dignity and rights of all individuals, including the right to wear hijab even when facing the justice system. It's a department that has taken meaningful steps to address historical inequity. Together, we've built a police department that values diversity, equity, and respect, one that serves all of Dearborn with honor and integrity. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. I'm proud to serve as your chief of police.

Oh, I want to just— I want to go Jersey on this guy. I can't. Inshallah. Uh, all right, so Owen, I'm gonna come to you first. I mean, I just, I can't imagine, I can't imagine what's happening that this guy is like, no, we need to reflect, you know, it was like, uh, I'm going back to the Palisade fires. I'll go all over the place anyway. You know, just to say like, oh, it's got to be more representative of the people who are just like storming over our border, by the way, and want to change America into Palestine or wherever. Um, it's America. You know, or let's hope that we keep it, but I don't know. I can't— the rage. Do you feel rage like I do, or are you more measured? You're measured.

Well, I do think it's outrageous. I think it's, you know, ridiculous to think, okay, we don't need to care about merit. We don't need to care about how well people are doing their jobs. We need it to reflect the community. We need it to look like the community. It's all performative. It's all DEI under another name. It's just, you know, let's give these jobs to the people that we want to have them. And in many cases, I'm sure it's probably saying we want them to look the other way when some of this stuff happens, like female genital mutilation or honor killings or whatever else that are accepted in other parts of the world but are not accepted here unless you have the whole police force on your side.

Yeah, um, I, I, I'm looking at the comments. I mean, everybody's like, get him out! Like, everybody's, you know, outraged. But this You know, it's not, um, just Dearborn. I mean, this is going on everywhere. Uh, what do you think about this, BJ? How is this— like, how are we allowing this to happen as a country? And, and I still can't get an answer. Do we— I know I ask you this every week, but does anyone in the administration— I know they see it— is there a plan? Is there a solution? Like, what are we doing?

So the, the mechanics of how law enforcement, uh, and it's the system as Scott Adams would talk about it, is very important. So my brother's a police sergeant and I have nephews that are cops and a lot of friends who are cops. I kind of know how it works on the inside and they are all as freaked out as you, I, and the rest of us are. But the problem is this is the structure in Canada, from what I understand it's very, very similar in in not all parts of the United States, but it's very similar. So you have two types of law enforcement. You have all the officers here that's, I think it's inspector down, and then you have the deputy chiefs and the chiefs, two separate unions. So they're represented by completely different people. And what we've installed here, I think it was in the late '80s when all the social justice, you know, postmodern stuff started to get a foothold here, is they created community police services boards. So that means the community now gets involved in kind of directing how law enforcement is practiced. And those community boards are people who get appointed, they do things in politics, they donate, all that sort of stuff. The problem is, here, they are the gatekeepers, and we have police services board where we have Muslim Brotherhood people all on the Police Services Board. And what happens? The Police Services Board, they're the ones who hire the chiefs and the deputy chiefs. So all the officers down are like you and I. There's one said, I'd like to drag the imam out of his freaking mosque and give him a few batons. But it's politicized on the first two levels, and the superintendents often want to be politicians and run for office. So the solution here, and I think for law enforcement there, is you need to get rid of these community police services boards to allow law enforcement to operate as it used to before we had— and one of the things they took away was, it was a big issue here, and I think it was in the US as well, you can correct me, the right to ID people. They called it carding, right? And why do police card random people? It's not random people. The reason they— I was given the example of this person said, well, if I'm in my cruiser, it's 2 in the morning, I'm in an industrial parkway, and there's 3 kids in the back of some business doing I don't know what, I'm gonna go, you know, knock on the door, or just roll down my window, say, hey guys, what are you up to? Why don't you give me your ID? Just let me run you through CPIC and get an idea of who you are. And the reason they're doing that is for intelligence, not to arrest them. To figure out how does this node plug into other things that are going around in the community so you get a sense of where crime is originating from and who's running it. Well, we stripped that right away from them because of diversity and it's racist. So that's cultivated this, this, um, this culture in law enforcement called FIDO— Forget It and Drive On. If they see something suspicious They're not going to put their career at risk. They're not afraid of being labeled racist. They're afraid of being reprimanded and losing the ability to be promoted, or perhaps putting their job at risk because they have a mortgage and a family to take care of as well. And then you— the last thing to latch on to that, the idea that you have members of parliament in Canada— I'm sure that— I'm sure Ilhan Omar's team as well. What do they do? They call the superintendents in policing. And try to put political pressure on people. Oh, this person said something mean about me online, go arrest them. And I know that because often my brother was a senior officer on duty answering those phone calls and saying, sorry, that's not what we're here for, goodbye. So there's many things that over decades that have led to this.

Yeah, we stopped a lot of like the IDing, stop and frisk in New York, um, You know, Owen, what do you think?

Well, I think it's sad to me how divided and different these police departments are being managed, and it seems like it's just going to lead to worse outcomes in these blue areas where when you have these sort of defund the police attitudes, or let's be nicer to these people and not so nice to those people attitudes, which they all seem to have, you make it harder for police to do their job properly, and you drive out the good cops to go to areas where they're more respected and they're more allowed to do their jobs and supported when they do their jobs. And, um, so it just seems like it's going to lead to more chaos, more crime, more violence, and, um, you know, less order in all these areas. And so I, I'd like to fight it however we can. I don't really know how we can, given that Dearborn seems to be one of these areas country that's being taken over, essentially. It seems almost like we need to somehow take it back, but I'm not really sure how to go about doing that.

I— yeah, I'm not either. And I, you know, of course, you guys were always like, what would Scott say? I have no idea. I mean, this is like moving so fast now, you know, that I can definitely tell you that, you know, Scott Adams' opinion was shifting and turning. And he could see the problem. You know, he could see the problem. He talked about it. I wish I could. I wish I could give you some insight or we could on what he would say, but we can't.

Can I take a guess at what Scott would say? Yeah, sure. He'd probably say design is destiny and the system right now is designed for the outcomes that we have.

Well, yeah, I mean, although the system just keeps changing. And I don't know, like, all right, I don't want to mention this in the same context at all. Okay, so like, period, next thought. So that movie Citizen Vigilante, I'm not saying that's an answer, I'm just saying, but you can see how, you know, we all have a little bit of this like little vigilante feeling in us because it's like like, you know, if someone came into my house and was behaving this way, they wouldn't last 2 seconds. And the country is our house. And, you know, we're trying to be polite hosts, um, even though people are invading us. And, you know, the design is destiny. Yeah, but I mean, who— like, so the designers are not Americans, right? They're people that want to destroy America. So we need an American designer.

I don't know, you need Americans that are not communists. That's the problem. This is my problem also sometimes when people say we need to be a white Christian nation. I get it, but there's white Christians who did this. This is why Scott Adams talked about that all the time. It's the left, you know, he mentioned it before that, um, or Portnoy mentioned it before, these, you know, he, what do you call them, white, white, uh, liberal women. So it's not about race, it's about philosophy and ideology. And I think that's why it's important. It was important for me I learned so much learning persuasion and with being trained by somebody over many years, but also understanding the philosophy behind it. That if you understand what somebody's philosophy is and their filter of the world, then you can see it's not race that's motivated, it's how they think, it's their operating system. And we have to figure out a way to weed that out.

Well, you just said that, so I quick ran and grabbed a clip that I had saved and pulled it in here. And I don't think anyone will mind a moment with Charlie Kirk and his opinion on some of this. Let's listen.

Our country was found on common law, uh, because the Declaration only refers to God 4 times and the Constitution doesn't refer to God at all, and it only articulates the structure of government.

So first of all, remember that we were a collection of states and colonies, and you need to read the state constitutions before anything else. 9 out of 13 of the original states required you to be a Bible-believing Christian to serve in government at the time of the Founding Fathers. Oh, 13 out of 13 required a declaration of faith. 9 out of 13 required you to be a Protestant. Except Maryland, which was Catholic, which still required a declaration of faith. Almost every single one of the original state constitutions, Pennsylvania included, they had, I profess Lord and Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior in the original state constitutions. You remember, we're a collection of states before that. Secondly, 55 out of 56 of the original signers of the Declaration were Bible-believing, church-attending Christians. So common law is inherited from Blackstone, who was Christian. A common law is an outgrowth of the scriptures. So let's go to 3 principles of common law: presumption of innocence, due process and jury of your peers. All three are biblical principles wrapped into the ultimate biblical principle that you shall not favor justice if you are rich or poor, which is in Leviticus 19, right before the most famous part of Leviticus 19, which is that you should love your neighbor as yourself. But before that is that in the administration of justice, you shall not favor the rich or the poor, which is the idea of blind justice. We get that in the West, which is incorporated also in the New Testament ideal— neither slave nor Greek nor Jew, you're all one in Jesus Christ. This is where we get the idea of human equality. These All biblical ideas, they're not Enlightenment ideas, which is— they kind of get conflated at the time. But more importantly than that, they say that God was only mentioned 4 times in the Declaration of Independence. Well, that's a big deal. Okay, laws of nature and nature's God. The last paragraph of the Declaration reads as a prayer. It says, we appeal to the supreme judge of the universe. Who's the judge of the universe? Jesus Christ. It says in Revelation that Jesus will judge the earth on his throne. This— so in the Declaration, they were praying to Christ our Lord as a prayer very specifically. Thirdly, as I said on stage yesterday, Deuteronomy was by far the most quoted book, religious or non-religious, in the time of the founding when they were putting together Constitution. More than John Locke, more than Montesquieu, more than Blackstone. So the Book of Deuteronomy, which talked about laws, customs, traditions— it was Moses' farewell address as he's, you know, about to say goodbye, say, hey, good luck in Canaan, guys, here's how you should set up your form of government. But finally and most importantly, let's look at actually what the founders said. John Adams famously said the Constitution was only written for a so Christian and was Protestant, that our form and structure of government was built for the people that believed in Christ our Lord. One of the reasons we're living through a constitutional crisis is that we no longer have a Christian nation, but we have a Christian form of government, and they're incompatible. So you cannot have liberty if you do not have a Christian population.

You're on mute, Erica.

Thank you. That was one of our future presidents, Charlie Kirk, and, uh, what a mind, man. Holy cow. Um, you know, this is why I always say, you know, we're supposed to be a country built on Christian values, and then it's like, no, we're gonna, we're gonna just burn down your churches, build mosques, and take over your streets and your land. And it's, uh, horrifying to me. What do you think about that, Owen, that clip of Charlie?

Oh, I think it's brilliant, and I think it's true. I, I think that, that our government was designed for a Christian people, and a lot of the principles come from that. I think there is certainly a lot of room for that freedom of religion that was built right into the, the Bill of Rights. So it isn't meant to be exclusively Christian, like you have to be Christian, but I do think that a lot of the fundamental principles behind our justice system and our form of government are based on principles Christian principles. And I think where there are significant conflicts between that and things like Islam or, you know, radical jihad sort of things, um, they, they just aren't compatible. They just don't coexist well. Yeah.

Oh my gosh, I'm so emotional. It's so hard to, um, you know. All right, so BJ, you know, what do you think about what he's saying there?

I think it's, uh, it's still tough to watch clips of him. I, I actually tend to avoid them because, uh, I knew some people that were very close with him and who were in buckets of tears for a week, you know, young, and their children were young and knew him from the university campus. And, you know, I watched that video of the assassination. I couldn't avoid it. You know, it was on, I'm still mortified by it. So it's tough to watch that stuff. Everybody I knew who had met him loved him and talked about what a kind soul he was. And we need more people like that in the world. I, I— there's certain things I disagree with, but it's very nuanced. I agree with maybe 98% of what he's saying, and I understand the goals of what, what's trying to be done to unify people. I think they get— it's, it's crazy for me when I see people who are Americans who criticize the Enlightenment. Like, the Enlightenment was also brought out Judeo-Christian values, much like, uh, you know, the United States Constitution. So I think if we can sever the division and figure out a way to get people of faith and people— like, I remember there was a time where we had a secular government and we all got along great, right? I mean, the US has been historically more religious than Canada is, but there was a time where we all respected each other. And that's what really frustrated me about Sam Harris and the Christopher Hitchens people It's just like they were unnecessarily hostile towards Christians and people of faith. And I hope they've learned that the next time around, that maybe the secular people who share the same value systems that come out of Judeo-Christian values can actually align with people of greater faith and come together. And that's, that's what the country needs. Not less division, more coming together and focusing on what the real enemy and the real threat is to the West.

Mm-hmm. Uh, yeah. Um, oh yeah, I would just—

yeah, I think a lot of that attitude of those types of people, it's very arrogant. It's like, yeah, I very much appreciate the people who say, you know what, I don't believe, but I can see how it's valuable. Scott Adams said that. Yeah, many other people said that. Joe Rogan has said that, you know, Jordan Peterson, to whatever extent he's not an actual believer, said that. Like, you can at least see the value of it. You can see how it leads to good outcomes. You can see how it helps people. And I think that was reflected in our Constitution. It's, it's not that, you know, they said, okay, we're all going to go to church on Sunday. You know, they didn't build religion into the government, but they, they made it compatible with those principles. They made it compatible with just the fundamental values. And I think you can certainly be a different religion or no religion and still believe in those same values of, you know, equal justice and, you know, freedom and things like that. And so I think very many of the world religions are compatible with that. But I think wherever you aren't compatible with that, again, you're just not compatible our system. And I think it was a concerted attack and, and an arrogant one, in my opinion, to say, oh, you know, if you believe in God, then you're stupid, or you're an idiot, or you're a fool. And, um, it's also, in my opinion, arrogant to say, you know, we don't need any higher power, we can just do it all ourselves, and there's nothing else. And it's, you know, basically putting yourself at the top of the hierarchy. And I think anytime someone does that, they end up falling at some point.

I agree with that. It's been interesting to see. So, you know, I've watched Rogan for 100 years and his evolution to now. He's like, you know, he— I mean, he was kind of laughing about the whole thing up until this, this year. Um, I forget who it was, what interview it was, but I remember he was like, well, how, you know, how'd you get through this and how'd you do this and how'd you do that? And the person was like, my faith in God. And it was like I saw a switch flip in Joe did it for him. And then he started going to church now and studying about religion, and he's, you know, exploring it. And I'm really happy to see that. I'm not— I don't go to church. I mean, I'm one to talk, but I do believe— I have beliefs. I don't want to talk about it. But, um, but even Jordan Peterson, like you mentioned, Owen, you know, he's like, I act as if there is a God and that these are the principles, you know, like, what's the harm in that? Like, that, that's how I act. So if there is one and it's all true, then I'm gonna just act as if. And, you know, Scott— you know, we don't know when Scott adopted his philosophy of accepting, uh, Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Um, you know, he told us about it when he told us. Uh, when he accepted it is a different discussion that we're not going to have. But, you know, he's like, well, what's the harm it, you know, like if you believe in that. And if I, if I wake up or land in heaven, then good, you know. So I don't think there's anything wrong, um, with behaving with morals and standards and, and decent values. It just makes for a better society. So Owen, did you get my text?

Uh, no, but I can go look at it.

Thank you. Okay, so Um, that's all interesting. All right. I wanted to— any more on that, you guys, or should we move on or—

no, Owen's knocked it out of the park again. So yeah, that was great.

Yeah. Um, okay. So let me see what else I wanted. Owen is going to check out the SCOTUS update. Um, because I think we got screwed again.

So which case are you looking at? You mean, oh, you mean the ones coming out right now?

Yeah, I think Birthright came out. I saw them posting in the chat here.

I'm pretty sure we knew which way that one was going to go, but I'll take a look at the ruling to see what I can make. Okay.

Here's a little intermezzo, by the way. I messaged Brian Romilly today because he posted this clip of New York City in 1955. I swear, you guys, I've been grieving the city for so long. But can we just take a little moment to appreciate what New York was? Inhale and exhale. Oh, aww, look at everyone's dressed so nice. Like, even when you were like dressed like a slob, you look nice. Brian and I were saying like, what a time it must have been. Oh boy, Erica's getting emotional today. Anyway, that was my little clip of New New York. Oh, RIP New York. Um, so Owen, did I give you enough time? Was that fast enough?

Yeah, well, it, it's what we unfortunately expected. It says, held children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and are citizens at birth under the 14th Amendment. So, um, I, you know, there might be more nuance to it after that, and it would probably take me too long to parse it all out and make sense of it. And I'm sure we'll see stories about that in the news over the next day or two. But it looks like they ruled against, um, getting rid of birthright citizenship, which is a shame. Um, I think it's a huge issue that you have literally an industry of, of communist CCP people that are manufacturing babies to be U.S. citizens at scale. And I think it's been a problem for a long time where lots of people will just come here for what they call like birth tourism or whatever, and they just bring their pregnant people here to have their babies and, you know, just get that citizenship, and then they go home with it. And, um, it's clearly a just a loophole that they're taking advantage of and exploiting. And I think when you— again, just like the illegal immigration in general— when you put it up at scale, and, and with the illegal immigration, it's obviously tied into that because all these illegal immigrants might start having children here. Um, then you end up with people who are not loyal to the country, not respecting our laws, not assimilating into our culture, but suddenly you have a massive number of these U.S. citizens that eventually are going to be voters. And, um, it's probably going to be a real, real problem, um, in the next 10 to 20 years when a lot of these people reach voting age and they might just do their mail-in ballot from wherever they are in the world because that seems to be allowed to in many states, which is ridiculous. But, um, you know, they could easily swing some of these elections, and they could easily just say, okay, I'm going to go to that swing state, to that swing county, to just, you know, put my vote in where it's really going to count and make a difference. And they could end up— we could end up with foreign countries deciding who our president is.

Yeah, it's, um, it's been a terribly disappointing, uh, couple of days with our Supreme Court Um, I don't, I don't know. What do you think, PJ?

There's an interesting series on a platform I mentioned to you before, Red Pilled America, with Patrick and Adriana. That's the podcast that they did the episode on Scott Adams' Let There Be Light, and I suggested on my stream everybody listen to it. It's great. But they did a series recently called What Is Amer— What Is an American, and it goes through the legal jurisprudence behind birthright citizenship and how the court kind of misinterpreted intentionally. And it's very interesting, they talked about— this is for the Jewish conspiracy people, EJ— um, they talked about how the guy who brought the issue to the Supreme Court in, I think it was the '50s, '50s or '60s, he was a communist also. He was '50s. Yeah, he's a communist and he happened to be Jewish, but he's a communist, so That's my direct enemy. I'm sorry, that's just the way how most of us are who oppose communism. It doesn't matter your religion. So he brought it to the Supreme Court and he won, and they mentioned that, you know, he was Jewish and whatever. They didn't mention that the prosecutor, or the— I guess it's our version of the Crown— that was arguing on behalf of America to try to strip this guy of his citizenship was also Jewish. So again, it's not about race or identity politics, it's about people who share values and understanding that's rooted in, uh, Judeo-Christian values. And for some people, Judeo-Christian, Greco-Romanian. I mean, that's the political structure side of it. We need to find people who share our values and amplify each other, even when we disagree on stuff, right? There's always going to be nuance we disagree on, but it's at a point where we are in the 11th hour for Western civilization, and the enemy will not stop. They will not stop ever. There's no negotiating with them because they're religious fanatics. And I don't think the solution to religious fanaticism is more religious fanaticism on the other side. That's what they are— that's what they are banking on. Why do the communists do what they do and try to agitate us so much? Because the biggest weapon they can, they can build is reciprocal violence or reciprocal radicalization. And in the system that we have in the West, in the United States and Canada, other parts, all we need is actual enforcement. That's it. We just need enforcement. And Trump is one of the first administrations that seems to be willing to stick their neck out as much as they can to shift into an era where we actually start to enforce the laws that we have. And hopefully that's a signal to other countries around the world. And I think it I think that's why so many other world leaders love Trump behind the scenes, but publicly they'll say mean things about him and condemn him because they understand that they don't want to be attacked by the radical leftists. But they all love him. They all love him, you know, privately they all admire him. So I think that's an element of hope for the future.

I wish I knew how to make you guys feel better. I'm reading the comments on all the platforms. Everyone's like, I'm depressed. This stinks, you know. Um, but Dr. Von Hardy, I saw you, and you're right, like, the, the court's been upholding this forever. However, it's kind of like, you know, the, uh, immigration has changed drastically. So I don't know, I don't know. Um, you know, if Marcela was here, she could tell me, you know, is there a process to revisit this? Is there a case to be made, um, that things have changed so much and, you know, that we are having little baby terrorists being born here. No shade to the babies, I mean, but it's just what's going to happen.

Um, but can I just say one more thing on that, Erica? So I think these, in my experience— and people are going to get angry at me, but this is just my life experience, having spent a lot of time in Latin America, almost marrying somebody from there, and I really know the culture well, and I've met many people who are illegal— uh, the communist Islamist phenomenon is, uh, more present for sure, and it's a problem. But in most people who are trying to come here, especially from Latin America, they want their kids to be American. Like, I know people who are— their kids are— they're Latino, their kids don't speak Spanish because they want them to integrate and become American.

Yeah, Latin America.

Yeah, exactly, because they share similar values. And I remember being in like a strategy meeting with a bunch of politicians and saying, hey, hey, hey, I have an idea. Why don't we stop importing the Muslim Brotherhood from the Middle East, and why don't we just focus on Latin America where they share our values, they just want to come here and integrate and build a better life and then contribute remittances to their home, their people back home, and improve everybody's life, which seems to be in line with the Dunroe Doctrine. So I'm glad, and it looks like we've pivoted in that direction. But I think it's a mistake, at least in my experience, to assume that the overwhelming number of people— and maybe this is what the court is considering, I don't know— that the overwhelming number of people who are here are bringing anchor babies because they want to destroy America. Yeah, that's the Islamists, but most people are not politically engaged like us. They just want a better life and they don't know what to do. You know, would you blame anybody in Venezuela right now? That's like, okay, I gotta get the hell out of this asshole and get to America and get my life sorted and provide for my family. I think that's what—

that's right. I have to push back a bit on that, BJ, um, because like, listen, I, I love our Mexican neighbors. I, you know, I think they have like the best work ethic, and I see them as, you know, doing their best to assimilate and all that good stuff. But what I witnessed during the Biden administration was just a shit ton of men pouring over here on boats and this and that. Yeah. And what was 20 million people just flooded in here. Um, I, you know, yeah, there was a few women and children, and a lot of those children were trafficked and, uh, slave labor and everything else. Um, so I just have to push back on that part. Yes, there are some amazing people, but, you know, and I used to feel like, oh, you know, you know, let, like, let most people stay. And I, you know, I always saw people, you know, doing their best to, like, work and even pay taxes, and they're trying— like, I have I have friends right now who are in the process of working so hard to get their citizenship. For 15 years they've been working on it. Okay, totally. So everything else is so disgusting to me. Like, these people are like, please, like, I'm working, I'm doing my best, I'm paying taxes, I'm contributing. And now I just am, you know, I'm just seeing so many terrorist nations getting people in here. Any way they can, whether it's in our colleges or coming over the border. I'm over it, you know, I'm over it. And, and I'm usually like a pretty happy person and like live and let live. But I'm changing. I'm changing now. And that kind of sucks. But the environment around us is changing and I'm more protective of our country than the live and let live right now.

No, and I agree, by the way, I agree with you. That's why I say it's a more recent phenomenon. Yeah. Letting people through NGOs and stuff like that. That was not the case 15 years ago. That doesn't excuse it because there are people who go through the line and do things properly and it takes them 10, 15 years. I'm, I'm not excusing that. Um, but yeah, things have definitely changed. And look at England, that's exactly what's happened to England with the, the invasion of that country, in France as well, and Italy and Spain. I got to list every country in Europe here.

Yeah, it's crazy. So the basic— where we— where this leaves us, I think, is that the executive order option is off the table based on this. But I think Congress could still act. They could still clarify what they think citizenship requires. I think the Constitution and the original intent here, original language here, allowed for Congress to clarify what these things mean. And so they could give it a try if they were willing to legislate. I'm sure they're not. I'm sure it's not going to happen, but that that would probably be the most likely if we could get enough of a majority to agree on this. Um, obviously another constitutional amendment would be another solution, and that would be maybe the best solution but probably the least likely, just because again it takes like two-thirds of the states plus, you know, 60 or however many votes in Congress, in the Senate. And, you know, it's, it's a very hard thing to do. But, um, you know, I think the other impact of this is it strengthens the argument to, to strengthen our borders. And it might mean that we need to crack down on saying, okay, if you're you're pregnant, you're not allowed to come here. We're not going to give you any visa. We're not going to let you in here any— if you're pregnant. And maybe there has to be some kind of verification. I don't know. It just— it, it leads in a bad direction. I don't really want to be like, okay, we need to give you a pregnancy test before we give you a visa. But like, that may be a requirement going forward because we, we just can't allow this to happen.

And how about if you're involved in terrorism, money laundering in any way, shape, or form? You and your family are banned for 3 generations.

There you go. I love it. Love it. Yep, I love it. All right, thanks, you guys. So I will stay and play an Akira song after. So BJ and Owen, if you have to bolt, feel free. Okay.
