Do you believe these characters are weird of us. So let's rock. However, the intelligence community assesses that Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan have been researching and developing an array of novel, advanced, or traditional missile delivery systems with nuclear and conventional payloads that put our homeland within range. That was the head of intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, with anonymous update at a hearing in D.C. today talking basically about national security, potential conflict involving Iran, not potential. I mean, current global threats, U.S. intelligence assessments, and then she was peppered with questions about current ongoing crises. And the way these hearings always work is that very rarely are you going to get actual intel and information that's valuable? What you're going to get is a lot of showboating, grandstanding, and grab ass from the people asking the questions. Because they want to appear to their voter base as somebody that's fighting for them, something they can put into a campaign commercial. And even if it's talking about national security. which should be a pretty serious event, you get a lot of nonsense. And Tulsi Gabbard dealt with a lot of nonsense today. But we did get some information. You heard at the top of the hour there. We played it over our show open. A lot of countries have some bad actors. I believe Trump once said bad hombres that want to hurt the United States of America. And you have to absolutely keep an eye on that. Now, one of the questions Tulsi Gabbard faced today, even if it's in a cartoony way that it was presented, was, are you concerned that there'll be some sort of terror attack or violence at the midterms or leading up to the midterms?
Are you saying there is no foreign threat to our elections in the midterms this year? As I stated in the outset of my remarks, this year's annual threat assessment matches the prioritization of threats. Please answer the question, yes or no. Is there foreign threat interference to our elections this year? Are there foreign... Please allow me to answer the question, sir. The intelligence community has been and continues to remain focused on any collection and intelligence products that show a potential foreign threat for those... So so far there has been none then because you've made no report. Excuse me, ma'am. If you want to ask the questions, you should have stayed in Congress. Please answer the questions. I didn't ask you a question, sir. I'm trying to answer the question. Like, he stayed up all night last night, Nige, with that line in his pocket. If you want to ask the questions, you should have stayed in Congress. He thought about that for hours as he was laying in bed last night and thought that would be the zinger to end all things. Let her answer the question. First of all. That's all you have to do. What she was trying to do is answer the question. And as you referred to that open that we had, that was an ominous warning to me with China and Russia and missiles that could reach the United States. When you start using the word nuke in conversations, there's no time for being a jackass like we heard right there. Tulsi Gabbard earlier today speaking in this hearing in D.C. spoke out against the rampant trend and the spread of radicalized Islamist Sharia law across not only America, but the West in Europe. Islamist groups and individuals use this ideology for recruiting and financial support for terrorist groups and individuals around the world and to advance their political objectives of establishing an Islamist caliphate which governs based on Sharia. They're increasing examples of this in various European countries. And President Trump's designation of certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters as foreign terrorist organizations is a mechanism to secure Americans against this threat. In response to setbacks to their capabilities of conducting law, large-scale complex attacks. Islamist terrorist groups have shifted toward focusing on executing information operations to spread propaganda and inspire or enable individuals located in or with access to the West. Yeah, I mean, look, New York City, Old Dominion University, Michigan, Austin, Texas. These are just a few examples of radical Islam popping its head up. And even though these were lone wolf attacks. I don't take that into consideration, okay? I don't care what kind of attack it was. It had to do with the ideology of radical Islam. And let's not be naive here. There are sleeper cells in the United States. If we're being honest with each other, we know this. And in other countries, too. Look how easy it was for a long time to cross the borders of some of these European countries. You don't think for a moment some of these radical Islamists saw that as an opportunity to get to somewhere and just wait for the right moment.
to create either a dirty bomb or something along those lines? Thousands of Iranians crossing the southern border into the United States that we have no idea who they are or where they're at. Meanwhile, back here in the United States, as we hear Tulsi Gabbard talk about all these radical Islamists and other countries that might want to nuke the United States. What is Toyota affordability?
