Thanks very much, Brian. That was great. Our next speaker I'm very happy to have here. When he released Dying to Win in 2005, Dr. Paul and I were starting to, Dr. Paul and I was starting to create a coalition inside the House of People of Republicans who were getting nervous about the Iraq war.

The greatest thing that I think Professor Pape did then is that he challenged the stereotype that they hate us for our freedoms. He did the most in-depth study,

objective academic study of what motivates people to commit suicide terrorism. So it was very important.

So when this war broke out, Professor Pape has come out and completely exploded everywhere on social media.

You can't miss him. He has some other great analysis about what's happening now. So we're so happy to reconnect with Professor Robert Pape. Thank you very much, everyone. It is a great pleasure to be here. Ron Paul inspires. He inspired me 20 years ago when he used my work on the causes of how foreign interventions caused suicide terrorist attacks like 9-11 to literally lay the foundation to do something

nobody at the time thought could be done and the scourge of suicide terrorism. He did that in

multiple ways. He brought me, as you just heard, for years to the Liberty Caucus,

to congressional committees, to give testimony over and over to both parties about what was

truly driving suicide attacks like 9-11, our foreign military presence in the Middle East.

No one really wanted to hear that.

Ron Paul made sure they heard that.

Then, when he ran for president, he would call me up because he's debating Giuliani on this issue and over and over we would go over

and this is I'm just a professor go over exactly what the points would be what his points would be

back and forth and I'll tell you that was watched by tens of millions of people.

This was laying the foundation for change.

That is why I'm inspired by Ron Paul.

And Dr. Paul, you inspired my talk today.

So I'm going to talk a bit about what you've heard on social media, but I'm going to give you a new talk, something I haven't given before.

I want to talk about how we're really going to get out of these Forever Wars.

For real, not just talk about it.

I'm going to try to do this in 20 minutes.

I've asked, maybe we can take a few questions.
