Mormon = Christian Goes National - The Normalizing of Democratic Socialism

Greg follows up on the national discussion over the Department of War’s religious list and why Latter-day Saints should continue to openly defend the name, Christian. It is about public perception, religious liberty, and making sure people understand that members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Redeemer. Greg looks at the Los Angeles mayoral race, the media’s ridiculous framing of Nithya Raman and Karen Bass, and the growing normalization of democratic socialism in major American cities. He raises concerns about election integrity, ballot harvesting, delayed counting, and a voting system that many Americans increasingly distrust. The UK immigration crisis warns that when assimilation breaks down and governments ignore public frustration, social conflict becomes more likely. Finally, Greg discusses President Trump’s renewed strikes on Iran, the threat of nuclear weapons, and the danger of entering another military conflict without a clear and decisive endgame.

 Raw Transcript:

All right, welcome to Quick Show. Today, today is June 11th, 2026, and we're going to cover a few different
topics. I'm going to follow up a little on the now national news of the Mormons being left off of the approved list with
the Department of War and then the Christian category getting removed to um satisfy the outcry that was put out
there. But a couple of national news reports that were made on this that I want to cover. Uh and a couple of
comments that were made from those that are not LDS about how we're not Christian and and and why again I think it's just important that we continue to
fight for that. I think that's a it's crucial in in quite frankly I think and then I want to talk about the mayoral race in Los Angeles and
how the media is treating this and why this is also so important. These are these are this is about the integrity of
1 minuteour democracy and it's not just about the fraud. It's also about the candidates and and I want
to cover that and put some some depth to uh those that are running in and apparently the the runoff between the
remaining two candidates. And then I want to talk about the UK immigration and and what's happening there. Um I've
got some thoughts on this. Uh I I I'm concerned. I think that you are looking at, as some people have brought up, what
could possibly be some type of civil war in the UK. Uh I I I I don't think that
is going to happen, but I think that there is going to be violence. And I I'm I'm concerned about this. And it's
again, it's one of those things where you got to walk the edge of the sword.
And and if it comes to having to make certain decisions, then you come to those decisions. But I think you've got to stay on the edge of that sword and
not just in a reactionary state. And then lastly, I just want to talk about it looks like we are now again from the
previous bombing because of the attack on the Apache helicopter. It looks like we are now going after him again. And President Trump earlier this morning put
out a post on True Social saying that we're actually going to go after Car Island. That may be words, but we'll talk about that. So,
this episode is brought to you by the Alaska Frontier Cruise. This is with myself, my wife, and Elaine and Steve
Dalton. Uh, very excited about this. Uh, the Dalton are some of the best people in the world. I've traveled with them several times. This is going to be
September 5th through September 12th, 2026. And you can see how the itinerary here will be departing out of s Seattle,
getting to Sitka, Juno, Icy Straight Point, Ketchacan, Victoria, and of course returning to Seattle. It's going
to be fantastic. Get out in the wild life out there in Alaska on the beautiful coastline and and spend a week
with us talking and we'll give some presentations and it's going to be, I think, a a really special fun time. To
find out more or to register, go to quickdia.com, cwicdmedia.com. Go to the trips and events at the top and scroll down to Alaska Frontier. Here we go.
All right. So, first I want to go over to the AP and their headline. It came out uh get it here. A Pentagon list
overhaul puts Mormon church's Christianity identity back in the spotlight. And this is important. And a lot of people say, "Why do we even have this? Why is this conflict even there?
Why do we allow this? Uh uh it's a nothing burger. It's, you know, at the very least, at the very very least, whether you agree with fighting for the
name of Christian or not, it puts this type of thing back into the public discussion. And I think that's really important. It's like when the Book of
Mormon musical came out and I I I you know I remember my aunt you know contacting me and saying this is
horrible. Why are why is why are we doing this? I can't believe what they're doing and this is so bad for the church and I don't think it was bad for the
church at all. Not at all. Now that doesn't mean you don't stick up for it.
That doesn't mean that you don't go in and say uh uh excuse me but that's not true. We don't believe in this or this or this. Uh fine. But but it does put it
back into the the subject of the church into a national discussion. And I think that's important because you know what?
There are so many mists of darkness and veils that are put over who we are from
so many different directions. The media uh uh certain factions of of Christianity that don't want people to
know who we are. They don't they're going to disparrage us no matter what.
uh some to a very vile degree and and so there's it's like you don't know. It's like I would never check them out. I
would never take a look at them. Which is one of the main reasons I think that it's so important that we fight for the name Christian in there, not to be part
of the club. That isn't it. That's ridiculous. I don't care if we're part of the club. I care about the perception.
And that's important. I care about the perception that they understand that we believe in Jesus Christ, that he's our savior and our redeemer, and I will
fight for that. If you don't want to do it, don't do it. But I'm going to fight for that. So, here's the again, the the
Pentagon list overhaul puts Mormon church's Christian identity back in the spotlight. So, imagine someone who
doesn't know anything about the church and they're going through this. They're going to see the words, "Thank you for senators and others who are doing this."
They see the words of Senator Lee talking about how we are Christian, what we believe in. The video that he put out, how can we not, you know, this is
what we believe in. That that's something that is important to get out there. Senator Curtis from Utah doing the same thing here, right? He says, "Latter-day Saints are among the most
patriotic serviceoriented individuals in our country." Curtis posted on X in defense of his faith. He said, "They are also unequivocally Christian. just look
at who is in the name of the church. So you're to me the people that are going out and saying they're fighting uh this
against being a part of the Christian group. I don't think you understand the positioning here. I I you you think it's
about us versus them, the Christians, the mainstream Christians. It's has nothing to do with it. Has nothing to do
with it with with the importance of fighting for the name. So, you know, the accusations of of this is all you're doing, Greg, is you're you're out trying to become part of a group. I anybody who follows me knows that that isn't true.
The important is the perception that is created out there and and and this helps especially when he gets national news like this. And then you get scholar
Matthew Bowman coming in and giving a description of what we believe and contrasting it and an understanding that yeah, sometimes people don't call us
Christian because we don't believe in the Trinity, right? Right? And he gives a difference between basically the Trinity and the Godhead. He says they
believe that while the three have a relationship, that's us, they are distinct beings. So you're getting
doctrine that's being put out there by the AP News Mormon doctrine that is important for people to understand and
have this understand the distinction that we believe in Jesus Christ as our redeemer, but we believe in a different nature. We could say that a different
nature of God. It also says here from the article, Latter-day Saints also reject the nyine creed which emphasizes
the doctrine of the trinity as one divine being. So for those of you again that are arguing so much about oh you're just trying to be a part of the group or
this is what look look this is also being brought up a a real distinction here in the AP news giving a distinction between what we believe and what other creedle Christians believe.
It's a good thing. Here's Senator Mike Lee in his video. This is over on the Jerusalem Post.
The faith of the American people has always been one of its greatest strengths, as is the fact that the Constitution
prohibits the United States government from treating people differently based on their religious beliefs, regardless
of what denomination they uh uh might uh be drawn toward, they might belong to.
uh or whether they have any faith at all.
Okay, so he's going to the constitutional basis of of of government should not be deciding who's Christian and who's not.
And that's basically what they do by putting that category together, listing every other denomination as Christian except for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
So important things. Now, let's get to other reactions here of some that don't like the discussion of and think of this
also. If it's individuals that don't like this, there's a reason they don't like the discussion. They they don't like the idea that Mormons are
Christian. They they completely reject it. And so, ask yourself this, is it a good thing that are Mormons Christian?
put out put out there as a question nationally and and put into the consciousness of of the American people
and beyond. I I I think it is. This is Gary Michael Voris who has a following
here on X of 32,000 followers. This is what he has to say about whether Mormons
are Christian. Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormons. The uh u pretty good solid conservative senator from
Utah, Mike Lee, went on X to kind of exclaim his outrage and said, "Why were the Mormons? Why is Z LDS Latter-day
10 minutesSaints? Why are they excluded from the list? Why aren't we on the list? What?
We're not Christian." Uh you sort of left the question hanging there. Uh no, you're not Christian, actually. Uh what's the basis? the absolute.
Okay, I love this. So, this is this is important. Again, we're having others explain the differences. And of course,
a lot of times those are memes. They're regurgitated garbage. It's Galatians 1:8. It's Revelation 22. It's um a lot,
you know, different Jesus. uh your your uh polytheists, you know, all these things that are labels that are meant to
confuse and don't have a whole lot of critical thinking involved with them.
But this does, and this is something that does get out there into the ether that I think is important that people can think about because they usually don't hear this.
So, we're getting some help here from our our Catholic friend.
Base foundational belief of Christianity. Most people would say, "Well, believing in Jesus." Nope. The thousand.
Okay. So, he's saying, "Nope." I will say that that is the number one thing that if someone just says, "Are you Christian?"
What they're really asking is, "Are you atheist? Are you agnostic? Are you Muslim? Are you Hindu? Are you Jewish?"
Right? They and and they're putting a circle around, oh, are you do you worship Jesus Christ? that that's the number one thing and why the perception
is so important. Now, the biggest reason that people say we're not Christian is what Gary here is about to say.
Foundational, absolute bottom line, can't go any lower theologically, philosophically, nothing. Can't go any
deeper than this. That God is three persons, three divine persons together in one unity. That's it.
That and that's it. And that's exactly what it is, right? That's exactly what it is. It's the nature. And so of course Latter-day Saints argument on this is
yeah exactly that's your argument and we would say it's not even a biblical argument. So it's especially for those that believe
in solos scriptor it's why are you bringing something that is produced and articulated a few hundred years after the life of
Christ and not found in the Bible. Now, there's an interpretation of the Bible,
but we have our interpretation of the Bible. And and there is no specific that the word Trinity does not show up in the
Bible. This is not about being an argument for or against the Trinity or for or against the Godhead. But I'm just trying to say why it's important that
this does get out there. And I think the news for all of this is not just a nothing ber. I think it's it's important that people learn about these
distinctions. We don't believe in coercion, but we do believe in persuasion and especially awareness so
that people can make a choice. And that is what this has helped accomplish. All right, enough with that. Now, we're
going to get over to the Los Angeles mayoral race. Uh this is you've got Nithia Ramen and
Karen Bass who look like they are the two unless something changes from a legal
uh demand here from the courts. It looks like these are the two that are going to be in the runoff for the mayorship.
And this is how the media is covering this. and and and and I'll get to the ballots here in a minute, but take a
look at the headline here with the Guardian. Nithia Ramen edges out Spencer Pratt. Wow. Ex amazing. They got just
enough uh the these these stalling of um counting ballots that's happened over
the last 10 years in different elections is is unbelievably suspect.
and edging out someone in in the last hour. Uh Spencer Pratt had said that there were hey 43,000 votes came in.
There's a roughly 43,000 homeless.
There's now video showing that they were bribed uh in order to which is by the way I got a question on this. If and
maybe you know the answer to this, but if you are homeless in Los Angeles and you're in these large uh uh camps of of
homeless people, how many of those individuals are actually California residents?
And how do you know? Are they are they showing a driver's license? Maybe they are. Maybe they're attaching somehow a driver's license. When people are going
around collecting signatures on these ballots, are they getting pictures of the ID? And I and I know that there's the laws in California make
it really easy to be fraudulent. They I think they want it that way. But how do you know how could you possibly know that someone in those camps is a
resident of California? They don't have an address that that could be somebody from Denver
or Seattle or or from Phoenix h or or anywhere else, you know, inside of California. How do you know they're a
resident of of Los Angeles and established a residence where they can they they they should be able to vote in that election?
But Nthia Ramen edges out Spencer Pratt to face Karen Bass in LA mayorial runup.
Now look how they how they they describe this progressive challenger.
They're not talking about Karen Bass here. They're not talking about Karen Bra Bass, the progressive Democrat.
They're talking about the Democratic socialist Nithia Ramen. They are normalizing
democratic socialism by moving it over a category toward the center of progressivism. Now, granted, I
understand the definitions of progressivism and what that means. And yes, in some ways a a democratic socialist fits under progressive and AOC
is called progressive and and Bernie Sanders can be called progressive.
But nowhere in the headline here are they saying a socialist, right? This is Mott and Bailey. This is a Mott and Bailey approach. They are not
going to call that out. They're going to keep that quiet to for the most part.
What you really have in the runoff in Los Angeles is the incumbent as a progressive Democrat against a socialist
and that is not uh framing in any different way. I can I'll show you exactly where she says she's a socialist and who claims her in their movement.
Right? So so just notice that in the reporting on how they're they're classifying these two. Uh and they I've
seen the same thing with mom Donnie in New York. Sometimes they'll call him a progressive because it's not quite as bad as being a socialist
in the media and and to the American um um you know zeitgeist, they're
they're not going to accept that. A lot less likely to accept that, right? But everybody that is organizing for her, everybody that is pushing uh Nithia
Ramen over Karen Bass, that whole entire movement comes from a socialist movement.
a Marxist socialist movement. I will say it's it's further than you think it is.
It is you look at the language and how they run this. It's it's all Marxist and and and and you're
you could easily have here a socialist a fullbred socialist in the
top two cities in the United States by the end of the year. Think about that.
and they're trying to place more and more and more. We've got one on the city council here right in in Tempe, Arizona, and they're getting they're gaining ground.
So, back to the article here. The Guardian says that with many Democratic voters hanging on to their ballots, well, they didn't have them in the first
place until the election's final days and California's notoriously thorough
Oh, hilarious. notoriously thorough but slow processing time for ballots, the
results of some of the biggest races in the state remain unclear.
Okay, so now buried down in the article here, they've got Ramen listed here, D Ramen, a democratic socialist. Just stop and think about that for a minute.
that this is not this is not some mixture of democracy and capitalism with socialism.
Just don't think that's what it is. That's not what the name is.
Democratic socialism is simply implementing socialism through vote of
candidates even if it requires homelessness people.
That that's what democratic socialism is. It is not something shy of socialism. It's not a mixture of
American values and free market and capitalism with some type of socialism
that you might find somewhere in let's say uh Norway.
It is fullon socialism implemented and governed by elected officials. And how long will that last?
So just understand that. We'll go to their website and and show you what I mean.
Again, here in the article, we have prominent California Democrats, including Governor Gavin Nuome and
former Vice President Kamala Harris, have supported Bass's re-election campaign, as have some of Raman Ramen's
uh progressive colleagues on the city council. Okay. I I don't know if there are any other officially Democratic
socialists on the city council, but again, they're they're trying to say she's progressive, which is bad enough,
quite frankly, bad enough. I want to take a look at the website here for the Democratic Socialists of America. This
is the organization. It's not a party yet. I I think we're going to see this soon, but the Democratic Socialists of America.
Uh and let's see what they really focus on here at the top of their website.
Number one, uh democratic socialists win when the working class fights we win,
etc. Right. Second one, ask yourselves why they are they are associated with abolishing ICE. Now I understand this is
an entire Democratic push, Democrat party push. The Democratic socialists especially, right? The ones that are the
socialists, Marxists, are the ones that are in bed the most with Hamas and Iran
and Hezbollah and others. And you have to ask yourself, what in the world? How is that possible? I mean, fundamentally,
you can't get any further left than unless you still had the the the US
uh uh Communist Party around, which is right. what Angela Davis ran on that platform as a vice president a couple of
times who is mentored by Herbert Marcusa who was a part of the Frankfurt school that completely destroyed our
universities in the c in the nation in the United States. But why abolish ICE?
Why do they want this? The whole idea of socialism and the socialist movement is revolution. It is to turn everything on its head, everything.
22 minutesand and get rid of American values, get rid of the Constitution. They won't go out and say that again. There's always a Mott and Bailey approach, but they'll
they'll they'll hint to it sometimes and every once in a while they'll let it slip out. What is their next one? It is
no war with Iran. Same thing. Now, now you may have an opinion that you don't want to be in the war with Iran. I I get
that. I totally understand that. Um, I disagree with it only because I think of of
I it's to me it's all about the nuclear bomb. Period. It has nothing to do with Israel. Nothing to do with Israel for me. It is about the nuclear bomb.
And and if we don't take care of that, I think we're in trouble. Now, maybe they're lying to us. Maybe that's not what it is. Maybe it's a a weapons of
mass destruction thing from the Bush years. I'm not I'm not going to rule that out. But I have no way of knowing and you have no way of knowing that. If
it is about a nuclear bomb, then we have to stop it. Period. Right. But here you
go. Right. It it's it's anti-Israel, anti-Israel.
This is tax the rich. They just come out right out and and and say it right. They
are they are all about taxing the rich and fight oligarchy.
So these these are 20th and 19th century terms
oligarchy that were used. Lenon used oligarchy all the time in his vocabulary. fighting
the oligarchy, which are the the very very elite uh rich uh people that are in
control of of whatever it might be. And you might agree, hey, hey, we've got to fight them or or you know, to me, I
think what America does is it puts a check on them. Maybe not enough, but you when you destroy the rich
and you tear down what they've built, you're opening yourself up to absolute chaos. And you know who has to step in
for that? The state and that is part of their plan. It's the same thing. It's just the same thing over and over again. It's Leninism.
He would say, "Fight the financial oligarchy, right? Get rid of Elon Musk. Get get rid
of Bezos. Get rid of uh um Ellison. Get rid of all of these guys that are unbelievably rich because it's not right. It's not fair.
Uh despite the fact that they produce so many jobs and so many amazing products, you know, I don't agree with those guys and a lot of things. A lot of things.
and they probably do have too much power, but don't destroy the system over it.
Don't burn everything down. And that's what they want to do here. It is a shocking but not surprising turn of
events. In fact, many people and poly market seem to have predicted in advance that this was going to happen. How could
they possibly have seen it coming? So this is very interesting because Poly Market uh you know is a great place to go to see what are the odds of something
working out. It's like if you're betting on a game, you know, what are the odds on the game? Usually the odds are going
to win because there are people that put are putting their money where their mouth is and their money because they put money on it, it matters to them and
they're going to really study it out and think about it and which team is going to win, right? It's the same thing with poly market. You can bet on anything.
And so you can bet on the mayoral race here. uh you can bet on a presidential election and and in that poly market
those numbers changed not a lot they changed a lot later right as as as as it went on as the uh counting for the
ballots went on with the 43,000 but before the ballots came in you you saw a little bit of a bump coming through poly
market which is very interesting um so what I was hoping that we would do
today is talk about why our elections look the way they do.
And I will cut to the chase a little bit here and say that we are going to have
an endless battle in which those of us who see what we believe is clear evidence of some kind of election rigging or fraud.
Yes, I mean it's obvious. I'm sorry. It is obvious. It's not maybe, it's completely obvious.
Faced with uh indignation from a vast array of people portraying themselves as
more rigorous and careful who say, "Where is your evidence? Where exactly is your evidence that there was
something wrong with this election?" And that's the question. And then now prove it. Prove it. Well, the problem is
is that the the entire system is set up to make that proving very difficult. I mean, you're allowed to turn in votes
late beyond the the the end time end date of the of the election. So, you can sign things and turn them in later, even signed later. You don't need ID.
The mail-in ballot fiasco there. There are so many problems with the elections that and and now as you
watch this whether you're fully believing that this is this uh race is
rigged or not and you're going and and what happened in Georgia for example and then on both
sides calling it rigged you know uh Hillary Clinton said it was rigged at first for when President Trump won and
she took a little longer to she conceded and then and then didn't concede.
and President Trump bringing up uh everything in in 2020.
Um, and there is, you know what, there's problems. There are a lot of problems.
And all of us as Americans need this to work. You cannot have a democracy
without a voting system that is truthful. We become a banana republic and we're marching toward that right
now. This is obviously a a Can you say technically that everything all the rules were followed in Los Angeles? You
maybe you can, right? Because of the way they've designed this. May maybe you can. You don't need ID. You can turn everything
in late. You can drop 43,000 uh ballots from the homeless on the last day uh or a day after the last day or
two days after or 3 days after and they still count.
29 minutesAnd you know the system is set up for this and we are going to be caught in the following predicament.
No piece of evidence is sufficient to establish that case and the sum total of all of the evidence contains true things and false things.
Yes.
So it is also no good. So the question is can you logically deduce that something has gone wrong? I believe you can easily.
Can you prove it? No.
Okay. So, that's that's the issue, right? Can you prove that something has happened here? And and and that is
that is going to be tougher and tougher because what happens is is as you rig these elections this way, it's the system and the practice, you know, combined here that that allow for this.
as as these these things are rigged and I will call them rigged then then what you do is you bring in people that because they've had success
doing it this way they are going to strengthen the policies and the system and the laws to allow for this to happen
and when you're in a place like California that is so dominated by one party even those that might not believe in it are going might go ahead and vote
for it because it's for their party and at least we don't have the conservatives and the Republicans coming in.
It's a it's a spiral of power that is is very difficult, I think, to break in in
a place like that where where you've got a very very very blue state.
And how do you stop it? How do you make it?
Well, they're trying to do it at a federal level. We'll see if any of that succeeds.
Um, but it's it's it's very difficult, I think, to to make a change. By the way, on his desk
there, you can see down at the bottom there, it's kind of fun because that is a scarab beetle, right? That is a dung
beetle, the scarab in in Egypt, which which is represents becoming. I wonder if that's why he's got it on there. If
there's an Egyptian reference there, but uh that is the dung beetle scarab which represents to become.
Now, all right, real quick on immigration. I just want to make a couple of points here on what's happening in the UK. They are moving
toward possibly a civil war. I I I and I say civil war, I mean uh constant violence.
I I mean something more along the lines of what has happened previously uh in Ireland, right, with the IRA, etc. I think I think that this could easily
move toward that type of a civil war. Uh things are so bad and and yet everyone
is putting their head in the ground and trying to tell you that it's not bad.
And it's very difficult to tell you it's not bad when video exists everywhere and you're able to actually see what is
happening and there is a two-tier system for two-tier stmer right so it's it's
people are fed up completely fed up now I don't know how far this goes maybe it gets quieted down I think that's what they're hoping for they're trying they're always buying time just like the
Iranians they're they're always buying time to move things down just a little bit further get more and more
immigration uh in into the UK. Uh set up their policies and organization as long as
much as they can solidify things and and try and keep it out of the public mind as much as they possibly can. But it's getting worse.
And you know, you can go on and on with the scenes. You've seen them all and and what's happening. And then there's you're going to you're of course you're you're not going to do this without
counterprotest because uh uh the side that is going to push for immigration is
very very good at this. So here is a counterprotest immigration.
Be careful. hours.
Okay. And hey, that that may be true for a portion of this group. Maybe a vast majority. I I don't know. I'm not there.
You you see that these two sides are are building up and building up and building up and and it it's very concerning to see what what would happen. I will say
with immigration, look, I'm all for immigration.
I think it's it's and yes, even for Muslim immigration, if people are vetted and if they're
willing to assimilate and and it's the whole process is are you you know, it's kind of like the
the vetting process at BYU which has been become more stringent than than it was before and and where where it's, you know, they've started to put elements of
the family proclamation in here. It's like, okay, what about gender? What about marriage? What about the law of chastity? um you know, do you follow these things?
What are your thoughts on this? How do you support this? I don't know how those interviews are actually conducted sometimes, but it's a little bit more toward a temple recommend, right? It's the same thing with immigration.
It's you got to go in and you've got to say, are you willing to to assimilate?
Here's a good question for someone who is uh Muslim. I I would say, are you willing to and this is tough.
35 minutesThis is a really tough and people would won't like this, but are you willing to put Sharia law against our own laws and
and hold it up higher and have them mark it? Now, maybe they're all going to lie. I I don't
know. But put that in. How about a vetting process of uh uh how many young
men are you going to allow into the country from other countries as compared to women and children?
put that down as a mark because if you if you've got, you know, 70% of everybody coming into the country
through immigration that are young men ages 18 to 35, you're going to have a
problem. Sorry. Especially from places like the the Muslim countries where there's such a different culture and a
different religion and a different paradigm, worldview. Everything is so different. That doesn't mean everybody's bad,
36 minutesbut it means the ability to come in and assimilate is a problem. And that means that you now get isolation with some of these individuals. You now end up with
people that feel like they're on the fringe on on the border of of society, which they probably are some of them.
And that's going to create bigger problems. And then you get animosity and resentment and and a a difference in
um you know there's it's just not assimilation.
So I do believe in in immigration. I think it is. But I think you have to do it right. And that goes for the US also.
I I believe in helping out all refugees that are actually here. I I think that's the humane thing to do and I'm in full
support of that. But in terms of actually who is let in, I think we've got to be very wise and
smart on that. And and are you going to assimilate?
You don't have to give up, you know, your religion. You you don't have to give up uh at least parts of your culture,
but is the constitution how do you how do you do that? And I don't know, maybe there's not a very good way of doing that. I don't know. But I think we need
to move toward that a lot more. We need to focus in on that a lot more, especially if someone is here with with
a green card or, you know, work visa and then they're trying to stay. It's like, hold on. And lastly, President Trump
now is bombing Iran again. I don't know what you think of this. This is his um
post on Truth Social. And he says here, uh, the United States will be hitting Iran, whose Navy, Air Force, radar,
anti-aircraft, and all other forms of defense together with most its offensive capability are gone, very hard tonight.
We're going to hit them very hard tonight. So, they've done that. At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Car Island. Now, these
38 minutescould just be words. He he says a lot of words, and that's why people don't like him because he's so bombastic, but this is part of his negotiating strategy.
It's kind of like uh Iran's negotiating strategy. It's very similar. Uh and they're going to take Car Island and
other infrastructure points and assume total control of their oil and gas markets much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out
brilliantly. That's a little bit different. It's not the same. How are you going to accomplish this? Are you putting people in danger? You don't have
wild fundamentalist jihadis all over Venezuela. You might have some communists that will do some things, but it it's it's not quite the same thing.
And so I, you know, that's that's concerning.
I I'm not saying it's not the right thing. I don't know. But it's concerning that we're going to be putting boots boots on the ground. It looks like in if
this goes through, if he's right, if he's not bluffing, that we're going to be putting boots on the ground in Iran.
That is concerning because then you've got targets, right? We now have targets in Iran and we know how that went with
Afghanistan and in Iraq, right? It it's just it's just a bad deal. So, we we'll
see how that goes. I they they could be bombing right now. Again, uh during this recording, I'm not sure.
But, uh what do you think about all of this? What what what are your thoughts on on the Iran war? And and here's what
I think. Whether you're for it or you're not, if there's going to be I if if
Trump wants to make sure that there are no nuclear weapons being created,
they have to go all out, right? You cannot take a Vietnam approach. You just can't put tie one hand behind your back.
You have to go all out to do it. And we don't like doing that. We've never liked doing that. We want just precision. We
We don't We want uh uh of course as few deaths as possible. We want as little risk as possible. Of course,
all those things are true. But but unless you go all out on this, that is not going to be accomplished. And you may not want that. That I understand
that might be what you want. That's all I've got for today. We'll talk to you again soon.
