Again, it goes back to, like, the border was open for four years, so it's kind of like, if you and I wanted to attack our adversaries and left their border open for four years, like, how creative could we get?
And that's the opportunity that we gave all of our enemies.
So when people would say, well, how many bad guys do you think are in the country?
They're like, seriously, what's the number?
I'm like...
I don't know.
I'll tell you the truth.
I'll tell you the truth is that the more we dig through the data, the more we realize we really truly don't know.
And then people would say, well, do you think it's sleeper cells?
Do you think it's this, that, or the other thing?
It's like, well, honestly, again, we kind of go back to the only thing we created for the last four years under the previous administration was a massive opportunity for terrorists to exploit our country and to kill people here.
If Iran or... I mean, at this point, what we've seen more of is we've seen younger people, some of whom were born here, conduct these attacks, and they were just inspired by something that they saw.
And then a lot of them too, I know Sarah has her theory of the case.
I think the bigger threat based on what we saw last year, we saw the terrorist attacks we saw here in America,
Most of those people were inspired by media content they had consumed coming out of Gaza, the Gaza conflict, and they cited Gaza as being a driver pushing them towards violence.
So, yeah, obviously, if we intercepted a cell of Iranians that, you know, we could prove they had ties back to Iran, then, yeah, then absolutely we'd have to hold them accountable for that.
Oh, for sure.
100%.
I think war always presents an opportunity for people to exploit to further their objectives.
So if you want to sell more of surveillance state, more infringements upon our civil liberties, now's the time to do it.
