And

What I keep going back to is whether it's ISIS-K, whether it's the Al-Qaeda, the thing that we know is they love to outdo the last attack.

They're not gonna be casual about the next one.

They're gonna make it a point to make it bigger and more spectacular and more paralyzing than the last one.

what I've heard Sarah and others say is that all indications are that they have trained heavily in close quarters battle, local distributed attacks, and that there's a very good chance that the next thing we see on the homeland could be an October 7 style house to house, restaurant to restaurant, synagogue to chapel kind of attack on a massive scale.

Now you think about what would happen if you had an October 7 style attack in

Houston, Akron, Youngstown, Dallas, Miami, all at the same time.

I mean, what did the DC snipers do?

I mean, think about that.

You talk about a 500K budget, like the DC sniper shot out of the back of a car and shut down the beltway for weeks.

Imagine the systemic paralysis that would result from an October 7th style attack across six cities at the same time.

I mean, we know what that looks like.

Yeah, and that's well said.

And, you know, they've broken through barriers, even the Shia-Sunni barrier, you know, where Iran is very complicit in their work with al-Qaeda.

We're looking at an unprecedented level of collaboration between state and non-state actors, also Shia and Sunni that was, you know, you didn't see that prior to 9-11, certainly not on this scale, where Iran is offering sanctuary and resource support to Al-Qaeda, who is a Sunni-based organization, and, you know, Iran is Shia.

And then you add to that, Sean, you know, the part that you're dealing with a meta-narrative here.

This is a narrative that...

you know, ends with the establishment of a caliphate,

in the West.

And this is basically a swath of territory that is governed by Islamic law.
