But we need these Houthis. It feels like we need these groups. We had ISIS. We had then ISIL. Now, you know, we had the people in Syria. I forget their names, something. But we need these little groups. And this is what we do. We just choose because all of these groups are not even they're just people hanging out. And then we give them weapons and get them going. They're just guys in a bar.

And we show up and we start arming them and giving them stuff. And it's like that Bill Hicks joke where it's like, pick up the gun. Are the Houthis an existential threat to the United States? That feels crazy.

This is the problem. We could get rid of all of these threats in five minutes. But we don't seem to want to.

No, the Houthis are good. If you're doing stand-up, you've got to go once a year. You've got to go once a year, once every 18 months. And I like the Houthis because they feel it's like a new... But they're not sticking. No one's believing it. So now they're back to Hezbollah. Hezbollah wears the fatigues. If you get up Hezbollah, they're scary looking. The Houthis are not that scary.

They couldn't do jumping jacks. They couldn't do anything. But that's the whole thing. It's this weird global chessboard of like, you know, as someone said to me once, there's like a dial. You turn it up. You're like, more war, less war.
