t arrival in this. That's going to go on a lot longer than Trump. And Israel didn't solve that well but let me ask you this. Of course there's the religious overlay to all of this but these are real human beings who have to make practical decisions. And even the leaders in Iran they do see that Israel is just going to be there right? Do you think that there's anybody in Iran, and I won't ask you…

Muhammad's farewell address said I have been ordered to fight all men until they say there is no God but Allah. That is an ideological problem if it's repeated into your brain every day five times, six, seven, 18 times a day. Whereas the North Korean I agree the North Koreans as far as I can see do not have an expansionist desire to turn the entire world into North Koreans whereas Islam unfortunately has shown over 1400 years that it does have an expansionist aim and it does want to convert people.
All right but let me put this in another context. And again I will say that if I were in Israel and even as an ally of Israel you have to treat all of those threats as 100% realistic.

The Chinese are not mentioned. Jews rejected Muhammad as a prophet and we got slaughtered for it in Arabia and we got chucked out of Arabia. So there's history. And so we matter more because they know deep down they do know that.
All right so I get that there's a special history and a special dislike for Israel, the Jewish people, among the Iranians or at least the Iranian leadership for sure. But still people are of two brains all the time. In other words people can carry with them their religious belief and actually legitimately believe it but in their

daily life they don't act that way. That's fairly common right? That people don't actually act the way their sincere beliefs tell them they should act. It's the most common thing is to be two people at once. And it seems to me that there's got to be a practical understanding that Iran would be destroyed far before Israel would be destroyed. And since that will never be their ambition to destroy t…
