A, I wouldn't classify as authoritarian, but B, that want to open up their countries more to a classically liberal place, want to see the Muslim Brotherhood problem gone.

Germany could not hold its elections for as long as there was an active Nazi party.

That party had to be banned.

And now we have free and fair elections in Germany.

I think the same applies.

We've got to remove the Muslim Brotherhood threat, which is being encouraged in the West.

And they then say to Arab and Muslim countries, well, why don't you have...

I do and I don't.

I do in European countries, and I agree it's going to be tough, but if we don't deal with it now, it's going to be tougher.

Right, impossible, some might say.

Yeah, if it's impossible, then Europe's finished.

To save Europe, we've got to deal with this.

And I don't agree with you because I see here in the US a greater willingness to address this problem.

whatever misgivings we may have about the Trump administration, it's actively gone out, studied the problems, consulted experts, and identified the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization now in multiple jurisdictions, in Sudan and elsewhere, but it will also target the Muslim Brotherhood and its operations in Texas and in Florida, and it may move to other parts of the country.

So what's the difference between the US and the UAE, or sorry, the US and the UK?

It's one of political will.

No.

Go ahead.

I can agree with all that, sure.

Okay, that's fair.
