Finally made it.

**Justin Barclay** (0:55)
It is Friday, and man, oh man, what a Friday and what a week it's been. Big stories today. In fact, the latest out of New York yesterday, the story that I still think it's kind of, these types of things are happening so much now, it's kind of getting pushed underneath the radar a little bit. We're talking about the FBI arrest that was just made, and why it's so important. Some of the other big stories that need to be discussed as well. Where's the beef? We got big news, especially if you're like me, and you enjoy the beef. Trump trying to make prices a little bit lower. We'll get into that and more. Guests joining us today as well on the program. You can too.
888-727-BECK, Justin Barclay in for Beck, and we're back right after this to kick things out.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:52)
You've been hearing about the struggles with the country's housing market for a couple of years now. Higher mortgage rates have led to stagnation, and home sellers and buyers are sitting on the sideline. Well, the Fed has dropped the rates, but it really hasn't solved the issue home buyers and sellers are facing. And if you need to sell or buy a home, I strongly urge you to check out my company, realestateagentsitrust.com.

Justin at justinbarclay.com. Love to hear from you. And the stories of the day, I think one of the biggest we've got to start here.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:12)
The FBI says it disrupted a potential ISIS-inspired terror plot in New York. The agency tells Fox they've arrested a 35-year-old Albany woman, accused of plotting to bomb the state capitol and kill lawmakers.

**Justin Barclay** (3:25)
Here's the thing that makes this so fascinating. Again, this type of thing I think is happening more and more. It's the culmination of all the insanity you see happening in politics right now. The things we talked about all week, the broken brains, the mind viruses. Yes, I do believe there's a spiritual component as well, but what could drive, think about it. What could drive a 35-year-old white woman from New York to plan an attack? A month, I think she spent planning this attack, a nail bomb at the New York State Capitol. You see her in the pictures in the full garb, by the way, covered from head to toe, I believe at the Home Depot, trying to procure her weapons and the ingredients for which. Jessica Bowie is her name. She converted five years ago, took the name Aisha Saif. By summer, she was already praising 9-11, pledging on audio to ISIS in the Caliph, and telling strangers she wanted to, quote, poison infidels.
What could drive somebody to do this? How does this happen? And look, this is something we have to come to grips with, particularly at a moment in time. Look, Kami Mamdani is the mayor of New York City on the 25th anniversary of September 11th. Abdul El-Sayed, Abdul Rahman Mohammed El-Sayed is running for Senate. New polls, in fact, new polls today showing the guy got a lead. It's kind of a, it's sort of a neck and neck race. The communist and extreme Islamic, all of these radical ideologies, dangerous ideologies are taking hold. What could cause that to happen? Now, thank God they were able to stop this. They were able to thwart this, this latest attack. And think about it again. I mean, Mom, Donnie is the mayor of New York City and Jessica Bowie, who is, I mean, it's obvious to say, but completely out of her gore here, wants to blow up the Capitol in New York State. It's not like it's some sort of conservative bastion of, you know, it's an anti-Islamic, what was pushing this? Again, she wanted a victory for ISIS.
She wanted to murder as many as she could there as possible with the nail bomb. And then she wanted to get out of the country. And I think the plan was to go to Syria.
