We're Americans who believe in capitalism and laissez faire, you know, government and all that stuff and natural rights.
And I love many things about America.
You know, and then, of course, everybody who criticizes someone like me always has to say, oh, you you love the Ayatollah or you're a Putin supporter, the Hamas lover or whatever, which is all just so ridiculous.
And obviously there are a whole lot of problems with all of those groups that I just mentioned.
And I don't love any of them, actually.
But, you know, there's something interesting hearing J.D.
Vance and Netanyahu and some of these guys talk about how silly Iran is being for insisting that Lebanon is in the ceasefire as well.
And, you know, I got to just say, as you watch that, you're like, no, you're criticizing them for doing the honorable thing?
You know, Daryl Cooper made a big deal out of this during the 12 day war.
And I really liked what he had to say.
And he was like he was like, look, man, he goes, it's dishonorable to fight the way Donald Trump's fighting, like to to say, hey, we're going to go into negotiations and then sneak attack someone and launch a war of aggression.
Like that's that's wrong, dude.
Like, however, you you know, like just like on a.
on a personal level, whatever sense of honor that you have, which is something that means a lot to men, actually.
It means a code of honor is very important to men.
Let's just say, hypothetically speaking, like you were out at a bar and someone was talking shit to you and you you could be like, hey, buddy, you say another word to me, me and you're going to step outside.
