Well, let me ask you, and forgive me for asking you a personal question.

If, let's say, your daughter today said, Dad, I'd like to go and study one year abroad, and it's going to be somewhere in the Middle East.

You, Joe Rogan, how likely would you be to support her going in the Middle East to a university other than in Israel?

Because I think it's pretty safe there.

You're right.

That's true.

And by the way, I'm loving the openness that many of these countries are exhibiting.

And I'll tell you a quick personal story and then I'd love to then hear your thoughts.

I was approached by Al Arabiya.

Al Arabiya is the premier news network from Saudi.

But they were actually located in Dubai.

And Riz Khan, who was the anchor that was flying from Dubai to interview me in Montreal for Al-Arabiya, he used to be the main anchor, I think, at BBC Global or CNN Global.

I said to Riz, are we going to be talking about things like Islam?

He goes, yeah, yeah, feel free to talk about whatever you want.

I said, well, I'm not worried so much about me, but you're going to have to go back to that region.

Are you?

I mean, I'll be very professorial and proper, but I will say some difficult truths.

He goes, say whatever you want.

That aired, it was a two hour conversation where we talked about all sorts of things, but we talked about Islam.

And then he said, they loved you.
