0:05Michael Lester.

0:06Didn't expect to see you so soon.

0:08I didn't expect to be back so soon, but thank you.

0:12Well, surprise, we're at war again.

0:15Well, and so repeat, guests, we had you on about a month ago, and you had just written the book, We Are the Bad Guys.

0:25Phenomenal episode.

0:26I've been wanting to, I've really been wanting to tap into, you know, the Israeli influence over the United States, but I wanted to find the perfect guest for it.

0:36I think you were it and had a fascinating discussion.

0:41I think a lot of people found very interesting.

0:43And now we're at war with Iran, and it's looking like, oh, might be Israeli influence.

0:51So I thought you'd be the perfect guest to come back.

0:53I wanted to let the Iran war kind of develop a little bit before I just start talking like everybody else.
