The Scott Adams School dissects Japan’s "Little Punch" monkey phenomenon while critiquing the auto industry’s shift to electronic door locks, citing Tesla fatalities and China’s bans. BJ Dictor blames Islamist infiltration—like the Muslim Student Association—of Western institutions for shaping narratives on Iran’s U.S. conflict, where six servicemembers died amid propaganda wars. Sergio argues for U.S. dominance in a new world order, but Marcella counters with religious freedom, exposing extremism’s cross-faith roots. The debate pivots to Israel’s past nuclear strikes and Islamist networks funding campaigns via NGOs, with BJ advocating Canada-style crackdowns on radical groups, framing the clash as a cultural war where moderates are silenced.

So while you guys filter in, like just enjoy this video and we'll explain it after.
But here's Little Punch.
Let me say.
Oh, I can't play the music.
It's going through my ears.
Well, let's just look it up.
Let's enjoy him.
This is little.
I wish the music was.
It's a little monkey that was abandoned, right?
Or something by his mom.
His mom abandoned him.
It really wasn't completely her fault, I have to say.
This is in Japan.
So he was very sad and being bullied by the other monkeys.
So they gave him this little stuffed animal, which you can see.
He's like, don't touch my stuffed animal.
This is all I have.
I take it everywhere with me.
I love it.
It's my mom.
Look at him dragging it around.
I love it.
I feel safe with it.
Why won't anyone be my friend?
Where'd my mom go?
Okay, right.
So, so look at him.
Oh, I'm going to wrap its arm around me.
And now this is his human.
See him jumping on the man there.
He loves that.
This is his human.
Yep.
So he's like wandering around.
He would hide in this little hole if he got nervous, but the stuffy couldn't fit in with him.
Oh, look at the baby.
So it goes on and on.
And now I don't know how much more of this I'll show you, not much more, but he's finally found some friends.
And there's some adult monkeys now that are taking care of him and grooming him and loving him.
And the whole world has fallen in love with little Punch Monkey.
Look, he's like, where's my stuffy?
So that's Punch.
Ta-da.
I was looking for it to play it, but I can't find it in BJ's.
It's so good.
Post a lot, BJ.
Did somebody delete it?
No, I'm looking through and trying to find it.
See, now he has someone to look after him.
You want me to find it for you?
I can and I might be able to share the screen too.
Can you share it?
Let me see.
So now Punch has a little troop that he's settled in with.
I know what I really want.
And he learned how to wave.
Didn't he learn how to give a little wave?
Wave at the end when he was a little bit more.
I think it was a coincidence.
I don't know if there's any coincidence in that.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Welcome to the Scott Adams School.
So we're just chatting it up.
I thought we'd give a little more time to come in.
And I saw people asking yesterday, who's this monkey Eric is obsessed with?
The world's up.
You guys.
All right.
Here's a little tidbit, and I'll introduce ourselves in one more second.
If you go to Google and you type in Punch the Monkey, his little face drops down from the top.
That's the sensation this little guy is.
So he's uniting the world.
He's also on that Roku screen.
When you go to Roku, they put a little monkey there.
I'm waiting for the feature film for sure.
So welcome.
My name is Erica, and we have our beautiful Marcella.
Good morning, you guys.
Our Sergio, hatless?
Yes, no, I have a hat right here.
Oh, oh, look.
Oh, he has hair, people.
He has hair.
And joining is one of our favorite, favorite returning guest hosts.
We have, look, there's BJ Dictor from Canada.
Good morning, everybody.
Good morning.
Owen's off today.
He's got a news thing he's doing.
So here we are.
Aren't we lucky?
So please remember, Coffee with Scott Adams lives on in infamy.
That it's the same channel as this, and there's thousands of hours of that man's genius takes on everything, which we are all like deeply missing right now, of course.
Like the monkey.
Like the monkey.
Like, you know, I mean, it's that little stuffed monkey.
He was asked, you know, Scott was that for us, right?
So now we need to like find our friends.
Scott, just so you know, Scott and I had like a three or four year long direct message with each other where we just sent each other like animal videos, cats cuddling, especially if it was interspecies.
Like if you could get like a little girl, a monkey, a dog, a chicken, a goat, a cat, a puppy, a pig, all in bed, snuggling, sleeping, and she's singing to them, heaven.
So I believe Scott would love this story.
And that little stuffed monkey comes from IKEA.
But anyway, I digress.
Yeah.
And I can't buy one.
I've got 10,000 of them to punch.
So that was nice.
So anyway, that was our little fun moment.
We have some news stories picked out for you.
And we asked BJ to lead us today.
And I did ask if we could start with one story in particular because what are we missing though?
We were.
Oh, yeah, we didn't miss it yet.
We're going to start with one story in particular in a second because we can't do anything without Scott leading us in the simultaneous sip.
Bree, take it away.
Hey, everybody.
Welcome to another day of Coffee with Scott Adams, which is, yes, that's right, the best hour of the day.
Sometimes, even when it's not an hour, sometimes I'll be done in 35 minutes and it's still the best hour of the day.
How do I do that?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's just like magic.
But if you'd like to take it up a level, and you do, right?
Don't you want to take it up a level?
But before we do that, all you need is a cup of market glass, a tanker, Chelsea stein, a canteen jagar flask, a vessel of any kind, except the kind that have holes in them.
Fill it with your favorite liquid.
I like coffee.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
The dope of me at the end of the day.
The thing that makes everything better.
It's called the simultaneous hip that happens.
The Simultaneous Hip That Happens00:12:09
Yes, my microphone's working better today, you guys.
Thank you for letting me know.
It was defaulting to my camera and not this one yesterday.
Sorry about that.
So that being said, the story I thought we would start with is just it speaks to my soul.
BJ said he has a lot to say about it.
And I can't wait to hear your take on it.
So it's about the auto industry bringing back buttons and dials.
And I just want to laugh.
Like Marcella's got one of those funky Teslas.
And almost every time we got in it, I'm like, how do I get in?
Like, I don't understand how to get in your car.
And like, I want to feel something when I'm doing it.
Remember when I was looking at you?
You were in the back seat.
I was looking at you while driving.
You were like, oh my God, we're going to crack.
She's driving, but she's like this.
So we're.
I wasn't driving, by the way.
It was FSD.
FSD is full self-driving mode.
Literally, she's just sitting there and the car is like accelerating, stopping, weaving.
And I'm like, oh my God, like she's not even touching the steering wheel.
So I want to touch things again.
So what?
So let's let BJ tell us about this story and his opinions.
Well, I think I'm of two minds of this because I am a massive petrol head.
So I like a V8 and a supercharger and a manual transmission.
But I'm also a techie guy.
So I had a Model 3 press car about a month ago, maybe a couple of months ago.
And that's when whenever first full self-driving was finally released.
And, you know, a little context.
I spent a lot of time on a racetrack.
So I have a lot of experience driving cars, motorcycles, and tractor trailers, as you know.
And I was blown away.
I realized, okay, yeah, this really is the future because you can calibrate it to somewhat behave as the way that you behave in terms of the settings.
And it was so that part of it was absolutely amazing.
I think the problem, or at least some of the challenges for people, and the industry is trying to figure out along the way, is they made this move to screens because it's cheaper.
You don't need to engineer buttons and actuators and any of that stuff anymore.
Now you just have one screen and um.
So repairs is cheaper, manufacturing is cheaper, all well repairs, the margins are greater, but the expense is cheaper.
But the problem is it's gone, I think, a little bit too far.
Uh, to the point that even the Chinese government and you know the CCP really cares about its people.
Uh, the CCP has now mandated that electronic door releases are banned.
And because people are getting trapped in their cars and burned alive because, even though there may be a secondary uh hand release uh, we all operate under subconscious competence when we're in the car so many times, we're not regularly using a door handle to from the inside.
Yeah yeah oh, I have a handle.
You mean you don't have a handle?
No no, no.
The point is people, when people get um, it's the effect of when people are in trauma they get into an accident.
You're not thinking, you're now in subconscious mode and your conscious mind isn't working.
So now boom, there's a fire that's just started in your car.
You're not going to remember the subconscious movement of you.
Know, you go to press the button, the button doesn't release.
So then you start to think wait wait, I can't open, and you get tunnel vision and you start.
You stop being able to think wait, there's a secondary backup and whatever, because you're not using it regularly.
And as much as I love it, I am a big proponent of these electronic uh door releases they they have to be regular, they have to be banned.
Too many people are getting killed.
We've had it in Toronto, four kids were burned alive in a Model Y that had a pole uh, the Xiaomi Y7 or whatever it's called that lots of people did, not just one, but a lot of people are getting car accidents and it combusts and they get trapped in the car.
So it's, my friend just got trapped in La in a Tesla.
Now that you're saying that, i'm remembering because I didn't understand until you're saying this now that she was in an accident with her daughter and she was trapped in the car and couldn't get out until somebody got there to to like break the car apart to get them out.
Yeah, and listen, I like I understand the perspective.
Uh like, i'm a big Tesla fan.
So I understand the perspective of ELON and Tesla is.
Well, people should be reading the manuals.
Okay well, I do what's it's and that's the other thing, you're slipping into a different state of mind.
You're panicking.
Do we all think clearly when we're panicking?
No, nobody does, and I think that's the part that makes it scary.
Marcella, i've been under a lot of emergencies BJ, so I do think You've been under war, so I do think quite clearly whenever we might be the outliers, right?
And that's the concern.
By the way, I am here with two inspiring, wonderful, beautiful women who have the most amazing hair in the YouTube online space.
And you don't think we've all noticed, but we've all noticed.
Really?
BJ?
I didn't even do mine today, had I known.
Everybody has noticed, I'm telling you.
So, thank you for whatever you say.
Then, I persuaded you over to my frame.
BJ, yeah, that was amazing, especially the part when you said everyone is talking about it.
Everyone's saying it.
That's the perfection.
Nobody can believe it.
It's true.
It's true.
Save it, Sergio.
Save it.
Marcella, you probably love the more tech, the better, don't you?
You know, to me, the future, regardless if it's gas or electric, is full self-driving, like the car itself driving you.
I live in the future while I'm having the Tesla drive me, and I've had it since 2021, 2022.
So there's been a lot of iterations of full self-driving.
Sometimes it was dicey, and I gotta like take over lots of the times.
But now I really haven't driven since October.
I think it's the future in regards to putting it into cars that are gas cars.
And I think Mercedes is going to do that soon or has done it and it's going to put it on the market.
It just gives a lot more leeway in regards to, you know, people that have disabilities and can't drive, or you're older and you can't drive, or you're younger and you can't drive.
It gives like so many options.
While like what I really want my car to do is just drop me off, pick me up later, you know, and then be able to rent it out while I'm at work, you know, and it drives itself and makes money for me.
I mean, the future, I'm the type of person that grabs onto the future, you know.
I understand there's like older cars and people love them.
And I believe Tucker Carlson owns like an old red truck and he says that he'll never get like a new type of car because they can track you and all that.
I understand that.
But as a woman, I feel safer in a Tesla because it's recording everything that's happening around me.
Like while I'm parked, it's recording people that are near it.
So if you ever want to cause a crime, don't want to cause it around a Tesla.
That's all I'm saying.
Remember when everybody was keying the Teslas because of Doge?
I'm like, you idiot.
Why do you have cameras everywhere?
I was called a Nazi for driving a Tesla.
I'm serious.
And they said that every time it blinked, it was like Sikhile.
And I was like, that was at work.
Like, how?
Yes.
Don't do it.
There'll be a screenshot.
Don't do it.
How stupid we all are.
God came over and he was like, I cannot move my arms over my torso or something like that.
He'd say.
Well, my take on this is a hybrid.
Okay.
Because I think that I'm like BJ.
I love a machine.
I love the engine.
I want to feel the power of the vehicle.
I want to know that I can fix it.
I want to know that if I'm alone, I can grab my tools and just take it apart and do it.
Right.
I won't depend on somebody for this.
Right.
I love that.
But I also love the way that Marcela's car drove around in California, right?
I mean, it was amazing.
I was like, your own private.
Yeah, it was your own private driver.
And on Max, MadMax mode, it drove like a guy.
I love that part too.
It drove like me.
Well, you drive like a guy.
I mean, which is a compliment, by the way.
By the way, you both drive like Latinos.
I'm sorry.
I've driven a lot in Latin America.
You drive a little bit different there than we do in the United States and Canada, right?
okay so the point is that if we can if we did not respond to the accusations It's true.
I will.
But with a car, the best part about it is that if you can integrate both things, you know, you have buttons, you can have that and also FSD.
Like, you know, I just bought my car and I tried to get one that was able to, I was able to fix it, right?
But now I would like to have FSD on it too, because I already have cameras on my car already, Marcela, even though it's a Toyota.
I have cameras all around it.
I saw you a video of the guy that broke into my truck, right?
So I have cameras that record everything all the time.
But I would like to drive me sometimes, you know, we like to like, oh, you know what?
I want to relax, kick back, push a button and say, take me there, right?
And if we can do that, if a company can start selling kits to integrate into gas engine cars, you know, like in your car, Erica, let's say you go to the store, they install this package, $5,000 package, and now you have FSD in your car.
It doesn't matter what car is.
That's what I would like, you know, instead of having to be forced to go all computer or all analog, something in between.
Want like a 1985 station wagon with the wood panel size that smells like that fake plastic vinyl.
Like when it gets hot, it gets really toxic smelling in there.
And when you want the radio, you have to like just like tune it in.
And you know what I really miss?
I miss turning a key.
And I miss like on the cold day when it's like, it's not going to start.
And you like give it, you pump the gas.
You're like, come on, baby, while you're turning the key and you're like, you can do it.
And all of a sudden it turns over and you're like, yes.
I love it.
Oh, and by the way, MBJ is 100% right.
When I grew up in Mexico, all the rules.
Gergio, what about what I just said?
Well, let me respond to BJ first now.
I know you didn't respond.
We'll respond to you.
I was all emotional.
Yeah.
But on BJ, it's so true.
You know, when I'm growing up, all rules were just suggestions, right?
There was no way.
I remember so well thinking like, you know what?
There's no way that somebody's going to invent a car that can drive itself in Culiacan, Sinaloa.
You know, there's no way.
Ride Turning Over00:02:20
And now they do it.
It is possible now to do this.
And it's something that like Marcela says, we live in the future now.
And Canadians can join us now, right?
Just to add to just to add to your point, one of my first experiences in Mexico many, many years ago, I was dating a girl from Monterrey.
And I was down there visiting her.
And we went out, I don't know, the first night, I was out with her and her friends from university.
And they had, I don't know, a couple of drinks, which already I'm not comfortable with, but they're like, it's Mexico, tranquilo, gringo.
It's nice.
So we got in the car and they wanted to go get another bottle of tequila or a couple of bottles of tequila to go to a friend's party.
And we're driving through and they seem to be okay, but I was not happy they had a couple of drinks, but whatever, we're all right.
And then there is a police ride inspection.
I'm like, oh my God, we're screwed.
So we go up, we're driving, and I'm thinking like we're in Canada, the U.S., we're all going to jail.
We pull up and she's like, the officers pulls her, like pulls up to her and rolls down the window, senor, blah, blah, blah.
And she gives him, I don't know, was 50 pesos or something like that.
And they're like, off on the road, what the hell was that?
They're like, ah, gringos, you don't understand how Mexico works.
That's how it is there.
It's normal.
And Merica, your station wagon idea is like a primo idea.
I mean, people still ride horses.
All right, I'm old school.
Listen, I just want everything to go back to the simplicity.
I loved it.
So Herika is ready for the hair is ready to come out.
Everyone, join me.
Okay, get your hair spray.
Let's go.
So I definitely, okay, so you guys, I was switching topics.
A hard, hard turn.
You guys, I'm even more confused than I was yesterday, which I openly admit about what's going on with Iran.
You guys, I am so, I'm just hearing so many different takes.
And I do, I ride the fence, you guys.
Like I always point out how I'm a Libra.
Intentional Propaganda War00:03:52
I can see both sides of every situation.
I really can.
And I am so confused.
Like sometimes I hear people like, well, we had to do it, you know, because of XYZ.
And then the other people are like, well, XYZ isn't even reality.
And maybe it's because of these reasons.
So I don't know.
I feel the pain on both sides, you guys.
And I'm hoping someone can make more sense now that some time has passed and we've had time to like read news and watch stories, see what's happening.
I know there's more attacks.
And you know what?
Six Americans have died.
Six of our military men or women have died.
I don't know who they are yet.
And it's just like, what are we doing?
Like, is this, is, is it necessary?
Can maybe, I want to ask BJ first if you could give me a take on what you think.
And for someone like me or maybe other people in the chat who just don't know what to make of it, what are your thoughts?
Yeah, there's a lot to unpack there, but I'll try to figure out the most simple way to explain it.
The reason people are getting confused is because of this intentional and deceptive propaganda war on both sides, and particularly from the adversaries of the West that have become a particular problem for us for many years.
And I've seen it in politics as they embed themselves into our politics, as you know, with your, you're now mayor of New York.
There was a post I responded to, and this is a perfect example of kind of where it starts and how it spreads out.
And then I'll give just a little bit more context to help clarify that.
It's from somebody named Melissa Wong, who is responding to the Iranian women who are dancing and celebrating in the Middle East.
Now, she does something in messaging for the Mises Institute.
And her comment was, this is a libertarian think tank.
Has anyone else noticed that the Iranian women celebrating videos are all women that dress like hookers?
That is not the philosophy of libertarianism and freedom.
That is the philosophy of the other side.
That is a perfect indicator of political entryism.
Adversaries with foreign money embedding themselves in organizations and think tanks and NGOs and political parties to brainwash people in the West.
And I've seen this for decades.
That is the strategy.
It's called political entryism.
And the biggest purveyor of political entryism is the MSA, the Muslim Student Association, which is the first above ground Muslim Brotherhood organization in existence in the Western world.
They started in the 1960s.
And one of their first objectives and mandates, as they told to activists for Israel, said, we're going to turn the world Zionism into a swear word.
Well, what have they done now?
They have.
And it's interesting that why do you think, like they're active on a thousand campuses in the United States and Canada, where my business was on the University campus, we had an MSA as well.
Why do you think there's all these white girls who are converting and doing TikTok videos?
You think that's their opinion?
That's an assigned opinion.
That's what Scott Adams warned about.
We see a lot of this here.
We have a mosque outside of Toronto, in an area called Mississauga, where 85% of the worshipers are converts.
So it used to be, you know, Richard Williamson.
Assigned Opinions00:07:53
Now it's Yusuf Muhammad Muhammad Ahbed, you know?
And the worst part is the converts, like all people who find a new philosophy that completely changes their worldview, they become the most extreme interpretation of that new ideology.
Happens in the other direction as well.
When people become ex-Muslim, they become either extreme Christians, I don't mean that in a negative way, or extreme atheists, right?
That's just how human beings are wired.
And it's like another indicator, Sahaj Wahaj, who runs the Brooklyn Mosque, the extremist mosque, he's a convert from Jamaica.
And his kid was the one who was arrested in that New Mexico training compound.
Remember that?
A few years ago?
That was his son.
And by the way, guess who has been the money and propping up your new mayor of New York?
The very same guy, Sir Haj Wahaj.
So when you hear all the Jewish conspiracy stuff on the other side, that's the Duganist reframe to try to brainwash people in the West because the goal of them is just to cause infighting within the West.
That's all they're trying to do.
And they're succeeding because people don't really have a good frame of the other side of the world, particularly with Israel.
I'm often critical of them for having the worst ability to run public relations and explain their case to the world.
I think that's really what's causing all of that.
Is that helpful?
Yeah, I mostly had people agreeing with me yesterday.
Like, you know, just like, I'm glad that you're saying what you're saying, because I feel like, you know, I'm the age, like I lived through 9-11, like right there, like right there.
The smoke came over my house.
I know many people that died.
It would, like, I'll never forget it.
And I'll never forget the brainwashing that started.
I'm going to get a little sign that says, this is my personal opinion.
Okay.
This is my personal opinion for anybody who's going to have a comment about it.
But I'm very aware.
I mean, I noticed the brainwashing starting right away.
They're like, no, you have to be nice to these people.
And I'm like, first of all, I'm nice to anyone who's nice.
Like, you don't have to tell me to be nice to a group of people.
I'm nice to people.
But when you're starting to tell me this particular group, no matter what happens, you get a pass.
They get a pass and you can't say anything or you're a whatever name you want to call me.
Like, I don't get, I mean, does anyone not remember sticks and stones?
Like, get a grip.
Who cares what people call you?
So I just was like, you know, yesterday when I was speaking about how I felt about, I guess the word is Islamism that people want me to say and not Islam.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know the difference, you guys.
Okay.
Like, I feel like we're all intelligent enough to know what I'm talking about.
Yes, there's good people in every group and not everybody, blah, blah, blah.
Okay.
That being said, so I'm listening to what you're saying.
I'm seeing what you're saying.
Like, I see what's happening in New York.
I see what's happening in politics.
I see people strategically being put in place.
I see what's going on.
So, you know, for the people that it was just a few people that were like, oh, Erica, you know, she's this or that.
Was I far off in what I was saying in your opinion?
No.
So a couple.
So first, a couple of things.
You mentioned 9-11.
There are many of us who understand the Middle East and how it works.
Many of us were, obviously, were shocked, but we also thought, finally, finally, the Americans will understand what Israel goes through.
And they did for a little while.
And then they seem to have forgotten because of this, these never-ending propaganda campaigns from the other side.
I think in terms of what you were trying to articulate yesterday, you know, and this is kind of the hypnotist frame is understanding for certain people, different words are painted words.
For some people they are, and some people they're not.
And we also have this cultural clash between collectivism and individualism.
The Red-Green Alliance, the communists, and the Islamists, I don't say Muslim, individual Muslims, but Islamists, they're both collectivists.
We're us in the Western world, we are individualists, and we look at each individual person, and that is clashing, and that's the messaging we get from, that's how you can identify somebody is, I call them a proto-commie.
When they say, all the Jews do X, that's a communist, that's communist framing.
When somebody says, all X group does this, when you define people's characteristics by their group identity, that's communist framing of the world.
And I think that's why some people get really upset when they hear, you know, Islam doesn't integrate with the West.
But it's a lot more nuanced than that.
Because there's an ideology that all the, you know, you have the great religions of the world.
You have Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and, well, the Jews, because they control everything, apparently.
That's what I keep getting told, even though it's like 14 million of them.
But the point is, they struggle with the distinction because, like even Imam Tawhidi, who I'm friends with, who is, I think he's vice chair of the Global Council of Imams, and he is an anti-radical.
He's one of the many people within that community that are trying to fight the extremists, the Islamists.
But as he says, don't tell me my religion is a religion of peace.
It's a religion of strength and war.
That doesn't mean I wish ill on people.
We live in a modern world.
But the Islamists, those are the fanatics.
Those are the ones who are literalists.
Whereas people who may be individual Muslims, like people are individual Jews, individual Christians, everybody cherry-picks their religion.
They take what they like, they ignore what they don't.
And the way you distinguish that amongst Islam is the very important distinction in language, which is the Islamists are the fanatics, that is ISIS, and Muslims, individual Muslims, have a whole spectrum of different opinions.
And it's very, I think it's very important to distinguish between the two.
Because if not, if we group all of everybody who is a Muslim is dangerous or antithetical to Western values and individual, that gives strength to the Islamists.
They use them as cover.
And the problem we have, the last point on this, is, I mean, a lot of Muslims are the, like, where do you get, where do you think we get the videos from inside the mosques of the erratical people that are saying things about the rest of us?
Where do you think we get intel?
Those are people who are Muslim who say, I came here to the West to get away from these maniacs.
But your idiot politicians are making them mainstream by giving them political power and by putting them on boards and school boards and placating to their victimization narrative, which is a collectivist leftist narrative.
That's the problem.
The problem is us.
The problem is us in the West who don't want to speak honestly on the topic.
And we give power to the Islamist type of people.
And that when they really should be the fringe.
The Problem Within00:14:43
Yeah.
So that's what I was saying.
Like I Muslims and then the people that practice the whole Islamist stuff that I was trying to make a differentiator, a different I was trying to differentiate.
Thank you.
And so that, yes, Sergio, go ahead.
Oh, no.
Well, you ask about Iran, about what's going on because the narratives that are going on right now is that let's go, let's let's cut through the chase, right?
There's a situation right now that people are saying like six servicemen or service women have died.
I don't know if the sex is right.
So it's like when people say like one too many and they say Trump said no new wars, right?
And the other is like, oh, we're doing all this for Israel.
I think I covered everything already.
Those are the main things that everybody's saying, right?
So let me start with one first.
Is this a new war?
Is there a new war?
No.
It's not.
This is not a new war.
This war has been going on for a long time and nobody wanted to take care of it.
Nobody had the will and the ability to do it.
And finally, we have a team of people that was put together, they went through hell to get to this point that they have been doing all this work for years.
It wasn't just one day that Trump woke up and like, you know what?
I have an idea.
Let me start bombing Iran today.
It's not like that.
It maybe used to be like that before in the past, you know, with other presidents, but that's not the case right now with this president.
This president, I'm thinking that he's the most engineer-like president in history.
He's the one that thinks more like an engineer than most other presidents when it comes to the precision of his plans and how he keeps them to schedule and on time and ahead of budget, you know, under the budget, right?
He's always doing those things.
All these operations are measure so far.
What's going on in Venezuela?
Is Venezuela on fire right now?
No.
Venezuela is moving along.
We got people over there.
Oil is flowing.
Things are going on.
This war is not a new war.
This war is a war that started a long time ago.
And now we have somebody that is finishing it up right now, right?
Does it help Israel?
Yes, it does.
It helps a lot of other people, but it helps America the most in the long run.
Trump said it.
This is really Marco Rubio said it.
The old world order is gone.
This is a new world order, and the USA is on top now.
That's it.
There's no other war power that can dispute or spark place.
So by doing this, it's not about just Iran or like Islam or this and that.
It's about war domination now.
There's no, the weapons that China provided to Venezuela and to Iran don't work, right?
Russia, nobody's jumping in.
A world war is when you have a lot of countries fighting a bunch of other countries.
You have like a bunch of countries fighting only one country right now, right?
That's not a world war.
So everybody has to like just chill a little bit, just a little bit, you know, and think and see things from an overall view, the big picture of what's going to happen 20 years from now, 15 years from now, instead of like just going back and trying to fix the problem.
So and the other is like, if he attacked the nuclear facilities last year, why are we going back?
Right.
That's the other one.
It's like, were we effective?
Well, but hold up, Sergio.
So a couple of things.
So the problem I have with the isolationist frame, and listen, I'm quite libertarian myself, but like Millet, I am a nationalist libertarian.
And there's this expression or this saying from Paris, which is, just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you.
That was the lesson of the Holocaust.
And another way to interpret it is you can't just pretend, oh, ignore your problems, they'll go away, right?
And that's, that's, you may not like being attacked.
But it's not persuasive.
I didn't make it.
It's not persuasive.
Just, oh yeah, sorry.
Let him finish.
Thanks.
No, no, no, go ahead, Sergio.
Go ahead.
Just that every time we talk about Muslims, we never get anywhere.
That's what I'm saying, right?
We do the Smiths.
Every time we talk about Islamists, every time we never get anywhere.
That's what I'm saying.
It's like, if you have a tell me a solution to this, we don't have a solution.
We just whine and complain about it instead of saying, okay, how do we fix it?
That's what I'm saying.
Like, do we have a solution for it?
Or are you just going to try to just talk about it a lot and get detrits?
You mentioned going back for the nuclear strike.
Look, in 1980, it wasn't 80, 81, something like that, Israel took out Saddam Hussein's nuclear capabilities.
Nobody talks about that.
And they were condemned for it, by the way.
And then I can't remember what year it was fairly recently.
They took out Syria's nuclear capabilities, which is Iran.
Israel took them out as well.
And then Stuxnet, which was the US and Israel, took out Iran's nuclear capabilities.
And what do they do?
They get condemnation from people in the West and they're like, stop shooting yourself in the foot.
Like we're protecting you guys.
But that's how advanced and sophisticated the propaganda war is in the West.
And by the way, the Islamists, as I recently discovered, you know what they're learning?
Hypnosis.
And they're teaching it to each other.
Very dangerous.
I want to get Marcella in here.
Yeah, go ahead, dear.
I have no, you know, I do support Muslims.
I have to say, I disagree with Erica and BJ on this.
I support freedom of religion in this country and for them to have the ability to speak their mind.
If my ideas can garner the support that they're supposed to, then I fail.
Remember what Scott would always say, the best idea is always in control.
I understand that there is terrorist.
I understand that there is extremists.
There's extremists in Christianity.
There's extremism in Judaism.
But I just wanted to lay that out there.
You know, and to be honest, you know, as an objectivist and Iran follower, I don't really support any kind of collectivism.
I support individuals.
But going forward in regards to Iran, I wanted to get your take in Israel because we have a lot of people out there that are, you know, that were voting for Trump because he was the president of peace, right?
And I've been told also Tucker Carlson and his viewpoints, Candace Owens and their viewpoints about this being basically Israel controlling our president.
So, and you can laugh about that, but they are sincerely believe that.
And that is optics.
And like you said, Israel fails at explaining their viewpoints.
And all we see is Bibi Netanyahu visiting Trump all the time.
And then we see this war.
We don't see any kind of full-on explanation by the President Trump.
So I'm trying to play devil's advocate for those in the audience that disagree with this war and are conservative.
Yeah, so a couple of things.
First, did you notice what you did, Marcella?
I've been saying Islamists.
You said Muslims.
Yeah.
Right?
I never said Muslims.
I said Islamists, specifically fanatics.
And the difference is, yeah, there's going to be fanatics in all groups.
But what we've done in the West is we've given them the political power amongst their community.
Do you know why, for example, in Dearborn, Michigan, when Trump was speaking ahead of the election, they brought up all these Muslim Brotherhood guys to take pictures with Trump?
Do you know why they do that?
That's signaling.
They're never going to vote for Trump.
They vote for the other side.
But they're signaling to the moderate individual Muslims in their community, we're in control.
Step out of line and we're going to get you, which is why Muslims who try to get away from that and come to the West come to people like myself and others and try to share as much intel as possible of the maniacs to warn us to, and they say often to us, what's wrong with you white people?
It's the equivalent of saying, oh, all Colombians are narcos.
No, no, there are narcos in Colombia and there are regular Colombians, but what you're doing is collectivizing them.
And it's very important to distinguish the fanatics from everybody else.
I was responding for yesterday.
That was said yesterday.
Okay, fair enough.
No, I didn't say Muslims yesterday.
I was, I talked about, Marcela, I even said I.
I talked about Islam itself.
Yeah, but like I said, I'm talking about Islam extremism.
So I said, if, you know, if I think we're all old enough to understand what I'm talking about, it's not peace-loving Muslims who assimilate to our country.
I'm talking about the people that don't.
So like, let's make sure, like, you don't have to say that I'm saying Muslims and I love you, but that is out of context for what I was saying, unless it was like so literal and I said something Muslim.
But I think I made it clear that what I'm talking about is Islam, people that I said, if you're a Muslim who follows Islam, Islam, if I'm wrong, correct me, is extreme and does not align with our values in this country.
They have no place being here.
That's what I said.
Erica, let me help you.
And Marcela, I hope you take what I just said and understand what I'm getting at.
No, I understand me, John.
Okay, perfect.
I think what the problem is when you take all the great religions and people like Imam Tawedi will admit this.
And like when I was lawfared by the Muslim Brotherhood and half the people that were lawfared along with me, they were all Muslims who are leaking intel to the rest of us because they're as scared as the rest of you, right?
But I think it's very important to be able to distinguish between this is so key that those people are Islamists and they're not the same.
Now, in terms of the religion itself, what Tawhidi I think would explain to people is of all the great religions, it's the most susceptible to extremism.
Doesn't mean people who are Muslim are extremists, but it's the most susceptible to extremists grabbing a hold of it because there's all sorts of hadiths that say it can't be contextualized, which is the stupidest thing I've ever heard because all communication is contextual, right?
Everything.
But the literalists want to brainwash everybody else to say that it can't be contextualized.
And I know in a couple of instances, for example, of people who've come here to this country who've told us the reason the extremists are coming here, because they can't get away with this nonsense back home.
They can't say, oh, it's all my right under the Sharia.
No, no, no, it's not.
We know the Sharia.
But people in the West are so, I've been programmed to be so afraid to speak honestly, then when some maniac who's tied to the Taliban says, oh, it's Sharia, we go, oh, okay, we don't want to be offensive.
And that's not healthy either.
So there's got to be some balance where we can talk to each other.
And there's so many people in the Muslim communities that have been trying to advocate with politicians for many, many years.
And the politicians close the door on them.
Why?
Because they don't have the type of money laundering operations that the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamists have.
Muslim Brotherhood, Jamaati Islami, and all these organizations, Hizbutarir, that have set foot in the Western world.
So you're seeing with Iran, what's interesting is where they understand the culture in the Middle East.
You notice all these Muslim countries have now aligned with Israel and the West since the maniacs started firing weapons at them.
And you know what's going to happen?
They are going to enter an age of enlightenment.
Thank you to Trump and the Abraham Accords, where they're going to find alliances around the one unifier of people around the world, which is economics.
And the radical problem is going to be here.
It's going to be in Europe because we're trying to pretend it doesn't exist.
And that's why I think it's important to speak out, but to speak carefully about it and be respectful of people who are of Muslim faith, but they don't want, they don't wish ill will on people in the Western world.
They want to be left alone.
Right.
How about the Israel question and the Tucker Carlson?
Yeah, it's particularly frustrating to see, I mean, I know what's happened to Tucker and how it's working, but people, you know, we get aligned with somebody that we trust.
And as I like to say, I think Scott actually touched on this, that it's not your opposition that brainwashes you.
It's the people who you think you can trust.
That's where the brainwashing comes from.
And that's what happens in politics all the time.
That's why I tell people don't fall in love with politicians because they'll all stab you in the back at one point.
Israel is at the front line.
And this is it's frustrating, but I can understand why Americans don't understand this because it's that American-centric view of the world.
And you don't have that.
I know you've come from Latin America, but many Americans do.
They don't understand that Israel is at the forefront of the war with the culture war against the United States.
That is the front line.
That is where the kinetic war is in Israel.
And actually, I played this video the other day.
A gentleman by the name of Richard Carlson, name sounds familiar?
Islamophobia's Political Brainwashing00:10:59
Yeah.
His father.
Yes, his father was very involved in national security issues in DC, worked for many think tanks.
And of course, what do Islamists say?
Oh, he's CIA because everything bad is CIA because the CIA is active in their countries.
But he was part of, I think, FDD.
He was part of the Moderate Muslim Coalition where they were trying to help people in the West not only understand, but politicians understand how to fight this battle.
And as he said, the reason they went to Israel is because if you want to learn about terrorism and how it operates in the Middle East, you go to Israel, the place that is always being attacked by them.
Always.
Why?
Because they're Kafirs.
That's it.
That's the reason they're being attacked.
And it's the reason you're now being attacked in the West.
And guess what?
If this continues, in a few decades, you're going to start hearing chants for we need a two-state solution.
That's what's going to happen in England and France in five years from now.
I joke about it.
Maybe England needs a two-state solution now.
I have a question for BJ.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, BJ.
So I always said that I want you to be our senator or senator for Canada, okay?
And I'm looking for somebody that loves Canada as much as Trump loves America, okay?
Somebody that talks about Canada all the time, right?
And I'm always looking for that.
And when and I always was happy that you're coming on the show because I love Canada so much and I want to hear more about the future of Canada and how we can all be one.
So let me ask you, how does Israel, all this stuff about Israel, how is that affecting Canada right now?
Like how do if you want Canada to grow and be great again, what would you do to make Canada great?
Oh, we would have to deport all the Islamists, take their organizations, shut them down.
We are so much worse than you guys.
So much worse.
We are dearborn Michigan across the entire country.
This is why we're so intimately involved and familiar with this problem because it's been going on.
And they have been, you know, Canadians are a lot more passive than Americans.
And so we tend to be a lot more accommodating to new ideologies.
That's why Yuri Besminov, you know the Yuri Besminoff videos?
Yuri Besmanov, when he defected, where did he come?
Canada.
And he worked at the CBC until he realized these people are all communists.
You know how I know?
They're parroting what I used to create when I was in the Soviet Union.
So then he went and became a professor at the University of Toronto.
And he found the same thing.
Well, the Islamists have just done the same thing.
And the way they operate, I know, I can tell you as a candidate how it works.
I was told, you want to get your campaign funded easily, this is all you got to do.
So that's the biggest problem you see for Canada, like the Islamists?
100%.
That's 100%.
That's what's destroying the country.
When I was a candidate, I was told, look, this is how we'll fundraise.
You can go down the street to the Danforth Mosque, you know, where they pray for the killing of the Jews, the killing of the Shia, and killing of the Christians.
Just go there, give a speech about Islamophobia.
And what happens is you'll instantly walk out with $30,000 to $50,000 for your campaign and as many volunteers as you want.
$50,000 is a lot for a campaign in Canada.
It's not like the U.S.
And all you got to do is Islamophobia, and that's it.
And how does that work?
Well, all these Uber drivers who work at the mosque, sorry, who attend the mosque, the worshipers, they don't have their maximum contribution.
But there is a network of NGOs and law firms that launders the money out of the Middle East into Canada.
And then from the law firm, they set up the NGOs.
The money goes to the NGOs and then it is sent to all the radical mosques.
And those people, it's not their money, that's laundered money that buys the politicians.
That's how it works here.
And this is why you have so many politicians on the other side that will, not on the other side, the conservative side too, that will not speak openly and honestly on this subject.
It all comes down to money and volunteers.
So they've an NGO problem here too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, you know, we have this other problem I've seen in the U.S. now.
How many of them are called to the bar?
They're becoming lawyers now.
That's what's happening in Texas, right?
They know our laws better than we do.
And somebody asked, I was at several meetings with this intelligence analyst who was, we were speaking on a little tour and stuff.
And people asked him, why is it that they are so effective in penetrating through political entryism the Western world?
What makes them so effective?
He says, pretty simple.
It's pretty simple.
They are singularly focused because they're ideologues.
These are Islamists, not individual Muslims, the Islamist organizations.
They are singularly focused on one issue, which is to take over politics and take over your countries.
That's their singular focused issue, right?
To bring it, to make Dar al-Fukar, Dal our Islam.
That's what they want to do.
Your kids can't tell the difference between a boy and a girl.
That's why.
And as that grows over time, it's going to get worse and worse because people get completely divorced from reality.
Don't they say the same thing about the Jews?
What's that?
Don't people say the same thing about the Jews?
Yes, they say.
The same thing you're saying about Islamists?
Yes, they project exactly what they're doing onto the Jews.
The difference is with the Islamist organizations, we have documentation.
This is why in my particular case, they were unsuccessful.
Because we can prove it with all of their NGOs and registered money that goes through.
So I hear a lot of this cry about, they talk about APAC, which is, you know, most of us are not even supportive of APAC, which is kind of a little bit more of a lefty organization, as is the ADL.
Me and Scott had some funny talks about that.
That's Americans.
And those are Americans who are transparent.
It's above board.
They show everything.
But this network of the laundered money that goes into the individual worshiper who pretends it's their money to give it to a campaign contribution, A, is completely illegal and is not transparent.
And the other thing is I find comical that it just, you know, Scott would say this.
I think he would.
I don't know.
So you're trying to tell me that a group of people who we can't, none of us have this, all we do is fight with each other, right?
It's hysterical to me that they say, oh, all Jews have the same opinion.
What are you crazy?
Like the people who stabbed me in the back are the people in the Jewish community.
That's just the way it works.
But he'd say, you're telling me that a group of people, sorry, a group is somehow they all share the same opinion.
And they are, although they're all over the world and they're always at each other's throats and arguing, are somehow funneling through a country the size of El Salvador, both in population and area.
It's exactly the same size as El Salvador.
This country that's in a war zone constantly being attacked is controlling the largest economy and military power the world has ever seen.
Really?
Really?
You think that's how the world works?
Because I know with this particular problem that we're seeing with Israel and the mullahs, Israel would have taken care of this 40 years ago.
But every time, it's always the U.S. political establishment, usually Democrat, but not always, when they're ready to put an end to them, they pull them back.
Say, no, no, no, you're going too far, to Israel's frustration.
This is the first time in modern history there is a president that says, okay, they know the region better than we do.
Let's support them and let's just get this problem done with finally.
But I think Marcela's point was also that if we're going to do this to people that have that belief, right, the extreme belief, and we say, like you say that you become the president of Canada and then you say, you know what, I'm going to just declare all the Islamist out somehow.
I don't know how you will get to it, the system, and you do that.
Now that's a horrible country that I don't want to live, you know?
I want to live in a country like America right here that they will respect everybody's beliefs.
And if there's a need to change the law, go ahead and do it.
But if people started using that, they would use it against the Jewish people too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, and that's not what I'm suggesting.
It's much like the criminal phenomenon in Washington, D.C. What have they said?
It's always the same 200 criminals that do the same thing over and over again.
Most of the people just kind of, you know, go on and do, it's always the same little group.
Well, it's the same phenomenon with the network of Muslim Brotherhood proxies.
You can look, it's funny if you've ever seen a map of them.
It's always the same people who are on the advisory board or the board of this NGO that pops up, this NGO, you know, Islamophobia, this, Islamophobia that.
It's the same people.
It's the same network of three to 500 people over and over again.
And they are the ones who are given the political clout.
So everybody who's regular, a regular peaceful Muslim, they just keep away from it because they know how violent they were back home.
And they're used to kind of keeping their head below ground.
Another group that's very active behind the scenes, trying to help people mourn them, are the Chaldeans, Coptic Christians, the Yazidis, all groups that have been slaughtered by the extremists because unfortunately, the ones who are not radical, they become irrelevant because the ones who are radical are the ones who are singularly focused and they become fanatical and that's the only thing they focus on.
And we don't do ourselves a service also when we say, you know, all Muslims are peaceful.
Well, nobody's, at least I, I'm not saying they're not.
I just focus on the Islamist issue.
And if we do that, and in the case of Canada, if they just enforced our laws of people who came here under spurious circumstances to get citizenship, but were here actually with goals that were antithetical to the goals of Canada, then they would be this, what would have happened 150 years ago with this sort of behavior?
Those people would, people who are subversive would have been hanged for being treasonous.
But now we're so tolerant, we're tolerating the people who want to destroy the society.
Islamists and Hanging00:01:58
That's going too far.
And again, I'm not saying Muslims.
I'm saying the fanatics, the Islamists.
Yeah.
All right.
I'm going to grab the mic.
You guys, this was spirited today and I love it.
Marcelo, do you still love me?
I still love you.
I love you too.
And I love you, Eric.
I love everybody.
Yes, listen, everyone's entitled to different opinions.
And, you know, words have meaning.
That's why this country's great.
And you can be 51st state too.
Yeah.
Can I tell you?
Most of us would love to at this point.
Yeah.
So BJ, I have to say, a lot of people are like, we need him to come on once a week.
Maybe we can do that.
Because, you know what?
It shows like a different perspective.
You're from a different country.
For those of you that said BJ should run for office, he did.
And he is also one of the freedom truckers, remember honking for freedom, you guys.
So, you know, BJ, BJ lives for freedom and he lives for order and law and order.
And that's what he's about.
So he does put his actions where his words are.
We'll be back tomorrow.
I think it's the news crew tomorrow.
So it's a very newsy week and we'll get into the other stories that we want to talk about also.
But sometimes you got to kind of let the conversation go where it takes you.
I think debate is good.
And I think everybody was respectful.
And that's really all that matters.
Okay.
I love you guys.
I love you guys.
And we'll be back tomorrow.
Okay, you guys.
So be useful, touch some grass, have opinions, be free, love your neighbors.
And you guys, we miss Scott.
And let's have a closing sip to our beloved Scott.
