Well, it's amazing how fast we, you know, we can get signs now here in America printed by unions overnight from Saturday night to Sunday morning.
Somewhere there's a print shop, a union print shop that will make all kinds of anti-America, pro-Iranian signs.
I got to know which print shop that is because, wow, that's amazing.
What did those signs cost to have union workers come in over the weekend and do it overnight?
Man, those are pricey signs.
And another problem for the left, where to get all of these flags.
I mean, they just got the, you know, they just got the Palestinian flag.
Now, over the weekend, how do we find an Iranian flag?
Those must be in short supply here, but they found a lot of them over the weekend.
Plus, we've seen all of this play out before and don't think, Islamists, we won't put a boot in your ass, as Toby Keith said, once again, because we will.
And the idea of
Donald Trump going against the Constitution and not notifying Congress.
First of all, I don't trust any of those people anyway.
I think he did the right thing.
It's what I would have done.
However, did he break any laws?
What is the truth behind all of this?
Gabriel Narona, who used to be with the State Department, he lays the whole case out and what really happened on today's podcast.
Let me tell you about our sponsor.
It's Pre-Born.
You don't have to imagine what a miracle sounds like.
It is the sound of a heartbeat, tiny, quick, fragile, and undeniably alive.
And for a woman who is unsure or being pressured into that abortion, that sound can be the turning point.
Pre-born is making that moment possible.
All they do is they provide free ultrasounds to moms in crisis and compassionate counseling that helps them choose life.
These women, they don't want to kill their baby.
They've been either convinced that it's not a baby yet, because they want to believe that, and everybody in their life is telling them that, they don't feel like they have any kind of they don't have any kind of choice in front of them because nobody will help them but when they hear that heartbeat the number is 80% of the time she'll choose life but it doesn't happen without you $28 provides an ultrasound to a woman who desperately needs one and when you give to pre-born you're not just saving a baby you're saving mom too you're giving her hope you're giving her financial support you're giving her the truth you're giving her a life free of just a horrific regret.
Pre-born has already rescued over 350,000 babies, but there are so many more that need our help.

you're listening to
the best of the blend back program gabriel welcome to the program Polaris National Security President former State Department special advisor for Iran did the did the president need to have congressional permission before striking Iran over the weekend?
No, he did not.
It would have been nice to have.
It strengthens the president's hand when he does have a congressional authorization for the use of military force.
But the Constitution grants him the powers as commander-in-chief to take all necessary actions, especially in a limited fashion like he just did.
There are no forces being entered into conflict.
There's no boots on the ground.
This isn't isn't us invading Iraq and toppling the government.
This is a limited taking out their nuclear program.
And so he's under full legal authorization.
The Constitution grants him to do this.
And they never said anything about ISIS when he went after ISIS and shut them down, right?
I mean, we didn't hear this argument.
Why is this?
Why all of a sudden is this one so different?
than all of the limited strikes we have seen from all of the presidents recently.
You know, you go back to Libya 2011, you go back to ISIS 2014-15,
same scenario.
But actually, in those cases, those were even more
intense military conflicts that we were involved in.
And Democrats didn't say anything.
Republicans,
a few Republicans said a few things.
But the reason here is because they want to find something to attack President Trump for, but there's nothing on the policy because this went so well.
So they're going going onto the legal crutch just because they don't have anything else.
Here's another thing.
I was in Congress for four years.
There were votes by Democrats where they said, we want to strip the president of the ability to attack Iran.
And they introduced amendment after amendment after amendment, and they all failed.
Not a single one passed.
I saw probably a dozen of these attempts over my years there.
All failed, either in the markup process on the House floor, the Senate floor, in the conference.
So Congress had the opportunity to stop this if they wanted, and they always said, no, we want the president to have the ability to strike Iran if and when it's necessary.
And, you know, I have to tell you,
the world has changed.
It's not like I have to send a ship to go sailing across the ocean anymore.
Within 36 hours, we can leave, you know, our base here in America, be over in Iran, drop bombs, and be back at home, you know, time for dinner the next day.
I mean, it is, it's very, very different.
And I think
it's only logical to say the president should have a limited ability to not declare war, but to respond or to do a limited strike if it is in the national interest.
And then if it...
if it turns into something else, you know, Congress can, you know, reprimand him if they want.
Or, you know, isn't there something in the Constitution that's like 30 days or 60 days, they can shut off all the money.
If he hasn't declared war and gone to Congress, they can just say, we're shutting off all the money.
So, you know, that's not accurate in this particular case because you'd have to have ongoing things, but a president just can't start a war.
Congress can act.
You're right.
Correct?
You're right.
So, so back in 1973, at the height of the Vietnam War, Congress was concerned that a lot of that had been sort of unauthorized.
So they passed what was called the War Powers Resolution.
And that gave, that did two things.
First, it said within 48 hours of military forces entering a conflict, the president needs to come to Congress and basically tell them what legal authorization was used.
And so I expect President Trump is going to do that today.
There'll be a legal report filed.
The next thing is that Congress said they have 60 days to ask an authorization for force.
Or
if it doesn't happen, then the president has to withdraw the forces.
But here's the thing.
The Supreme Court has never ruled that resolution constitutional.
And every single president since 1973, Democrat and Republican, have all asserted that that is an unconstitutional resolution that was passed into law.
So Congress has the option.
If Congress wants, they have the power of the purse.
At any point, they can defund any war.
They can defund the Pentagon if they wanted to.
And they could force the president to bring back troops because they don't have money.
And Congress Congress has never done so because Congress has always basically, you know, passed the buck tube to the president.
The idea that the president has to go to the gang of eight
and alert them before anything happens, does that mean before the decision is made or right after the decision is made?
I mean, I know he went to the, you know, the leaders of Congress just minutes before the bombing started.
And quite honestly, if I were the president, I would have done exactly the same thing.
I can't trust members of Congress.
I mean, look at what they're doing.
These members of Congress are so radicalized now.
You know, they're marching in the streets with people who are burning our cities to the ground.
I don't know what I would have done other than exactly what Donald Trump did.
Did he violate any laws or anything with how he handled himself with the members of Congress, the leadership?
No, he didn't.
So, you you know, the gang of eight, for folks that don't know, is the Democrat and Republican, Senate majority leaders, minority leaders, House leaders, and the leaders of the intelligence communities.
Now, there's a tradition that sort of the big secrets get briefed to them, things like Chinese espionage, Russian nuclear warheads.
But there's not any legal requirement on this.
And I'll tell you, when President Obama killed Osam bin Laden, there wasn't notification to Congress on that either.
And so so
it's more of a tradition of deference to Congress.
If you want to tell them special things you can, but there's no legal requirement.
It's really just sort of the way things are often done for big intelligence things.
But this is a military operation more than an intelligence operation.
So I don't even think this applies in this case.
So let me ask you about something that
people like Steve Bannon are saying right now.
They suggested that our intel
was deep state or informed by Mossad.
What intel did you receive during the first Trump administration that would lead you to believe that this is a sincere threat to American interest, not just a justification to help Israel?
You know, a lot of it you don't even have to get the intelligence reports from.
It's the fact that they promised, and at the highest levels of leadership, they promised to wipe Israel Israel off the map.
They promised to destroy America.
So you have intentions there.
In terms of capability, what we saw was that they were retaining a secret archive of everything needed to build a nuclear weapon.
And they never declared that during Obama's Iran deal.
And so even in Obama's Iran deal, they were breaking that from day one by having this secret archive.
And then they had a bunch of nuclear scientists working on weaponization activities of the kinds of things that you need to actually physically assemble a warhead and make something explode.
And so all of that has been public knowledge for years.
And so, with, you know, with respect to our director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, I think it's ridiculous that any country would get to the 99-yard line of getting a nuclear weapon, but say that they don't intend at some point to cross into the touchdown zone.
I think that that defies logic, frankly.
I'm hearing from both sides that
Trump was negotiating and trying to negotiate.
And
the other side, Iran, says they were never serious.
In fact, we'd show up and then they'd never show up.
Can you give me any insight on what the negotiations were actually like prior to the strikes?
And do you think things are different now?
And if so, how?
I think President Trump was genuinely interested in solving this the diplomatic way.
And I'll tell you,
he gave Iran very generous terms.
He gave them a lot of what they had asked for.
He came back a long ways from his position in 2018 to 2020, where he had those 12 demands on Iran.
Here, he only had three or four things that he said were really essential.
But what the Iranians did, and they've always done this, is they tried to negotiate every single point.
They tried to get more and more and more.
And every time they agreed to something, they'd come back and they'd renege on it.
And so this wasn't the behavior of someone that wants to solve this.
This was the behavior of someone that wanted to delay for time, that wanted to try to extract every concession, not the behavior of someone that genuinely wanted to live in peace with the United States and Israel.
I am
so impressed with the team around Donald Trump, especially with Marco Rubio.
I didn't know what to expect from Marco Rubio.
As a Secretary of State, I think he has been just outstanding.
What should his message be to Iran now?
You know, I think it would be this.
You guys have the option to respond logically or respond emotionally.
The logical path would be to say, look, all our air defenses are gone.
Our ballistic missiles are mostly gone.
Our nuclear program is gone.
It's time to negotiate the terms of surrender in a way that gives us dignity, in a way that allows our government to survive,
and to save our people from more destruction and economic misery.
That would be the logical step.
And then the emotional step is we're going to go attack American bases, extract revenge.
And I think what
Secretary Rubio should do is lay out really clearly for Iranian leaders the consequences of that emotional path and say, if you do this, you will see your leadership wiped out.
You will see the rest of your ballistic missile program wiped out, and you're not going to get good terms of negotiations.
So if you can box in Iran's leaders, give them a good off-ramp, saying, hey, here's a realistic path that you can take.
to preserve your interests and attain peace, but don't take that hard path.
So so rick ridel said that he was uh he spoke to somebody an iranian source on the ground um who said uh things on the ground are really really bad they're locking everybody up in their house uh you know it's martial law uh they've already rounded up a group of religious dissidents that uh they say were spies for uh israel but executed like a hundred of them over the weekend they've arrested hundreds hundreds more the i can't remember the name of the religious police it's the raw.
I can't remember.
Maybe you know.
But
probably the besiege or the
besiege.
Yes, yes, exactly right.
And
they are on the streets pretty mercilessly right now, checking everybody's phone, their car.
I mean, it's very dangerous.
Do you think there's a chance that the people can rise up?
And why hasn't the president encouraged them to rise up yet?
You know, I think the Iranian people want to get rid of this regime.
But I will tell you, hearing from Iranians myself, I also hear that they're pretty afraid for themselves.
They are trying to evacuate their families.
They're trying to find safe shelter.
They don't know what's going to happen.
And so they're probably not going to take to the streets and overthrow the government right now.
But a month from now, if this war is over, that is really the time where they could see their whole leadership crippled and say, we want a new future.
And one of the things the Israelis are doing right now, which is really smart, is they are destroying the internal government
bureaucracy that is used to suppress the Iranians.
So they're destroying the Gestapo stations, for lack of a better term, all the units which torture people, which arrest people, which monitor people through their high-tech surveillance.
They're destroying all these institutions, which used to be the ones that massacred the Iranian people.
And so they're paving the way that if the Iranians decide to take to the streets down the road, that they will be empowered, that they'll be able to gain momentum, and that they would be actually successful in those efforts to overthrow the regime.
I saw President...
Oh, go ahead.
Go ahead.
No, no, please.
Go ahead, Finish.
I saw President Trump tweet, I think yesterday, he's sort of providing an opening for regime change, and he's sort of saying, look, if the government is not going to do the smart thing, the Iranian people should take control of their own future and change the regime themselves.
So that's the first time we've seen that from President Trump in the second administration, where he's sort of encouraged the Iranian people to overthrow this regime.
I think that's a smart thing to do.
I don't think we can get a full resolution to the nuclear threat while this regime is in power.
Right now, you're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program, and don't forget, check out the full show for even more.
We're back with more after a word from our sponsor.
Let me tell you about
our sponsor.
It's my company, Real Estate Agents I Trust.
You know, moving shouldn't feel like gambling in a casino where you don't know the rules, but too often that's exactly what buying or selling a home feels like, where you're blindly trusting some real estate agent that happened to have a nice smile on a billboard.
Realestateagentsitrust.com takes out the guesswork.
This is my company, and I started over a decade ago with my brother Robert because I'd had so many bad experiences buying and selling homes, as did he.
And we realized we don't know what we're doing.
I mean, here's one of the biggest financial moves of our life, and we don't know what we're doing.
Well, we started working with the 500 best real estate agents in America, according to the Wall Street Journal, and we learned from them.
And we went out and we tried to find more people that had their principles, their values, and their business expertise.
What they knew and executed as best business practices was so important.
So, whether you're buying or selling, moving across town or across the country, the way to go with confidence is by going with a real estate agent from RealEstate Agents I Trust.com.
Real Estate AgentsI Trust.com.
Get the job done right the first time.
Now, back to the podcast.
This is the best of the Glenbeck program.
Welcome to the program.
So far some good news.
No federal judge has issued any ruling ordering President Trump to reverse the airstrike or return the munitions deployed in the operation.
So, you know, it's coming.
It's coming, but so far that that hasn't happened.
Stu, I don't know if you saw this, but man, the protesters were out and they have new signs, new signs and new slogans.
Really?
Which, oh, yeah, they had the drum team all ready to go and they were out.
And I, I mean, it's, it would be hard to be a protester now because I wouldn't know.
I don't think I could keep up with the changes, you know,
because it's, it just seems to always be whatever is in the news and whatever Trump is doing, we have to march and protest.
And it's the biggest thing of all time.
So, and it's getting confusing.
And I thought I would be helpful.
I wrote a little, I wrote a little speech for, you know, let's say,
you know, Zser comrade River Rain is going to go out today, you know, and he's going to, okay.
His, by the way, his pronouns are they, them, and fury.
So
I thought, you know, somebody's going to give a speech.
I should help them because it's really difficult to keep up with all of it.
So
may I suggest, you know, when River Rain comes out today, he says, siblings, comrades, organisms of resistance, I come to you as a non-gender, neuro-spicy, trauma-infused survivor of heteronormative weather patterns and cis-assigned parking spaces.
And I come to you to speak truth, not truth as in fact-based colonialist logic, but emotional truth, which is always more valid because I cried when I wrote this today.
But we are gathered here on stolen land under a sky colonized by Elon Musk and SpaceX, which we're very much against, against, in solidarity with anyone who has ever been oppressed by anything except like accountability.
But let me be very, very non-binary, crystal clear.
We stand with Hamas because
imperialism must fall.
But I also want to remind you that we stand with the LGBTQIIA2 plus and any other letters that we haven't invented yet.
That community.
And I know what you're thinking.
River.
Hamas throws queers off of the rooftops.
Yes.
And I say to that, don't center yourself here, Karen.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Oppression is intersectional.
So what's happening to gays here in America is much worse than being thrown off a rooftop in Iran.
And what's happening to women in America is worse than the stoning for adultery or the hijab now that has to cover their eyes,
you know, their
inability to work or even drive a car or sometimes even leave the house because yes, they're problematic, but let's be frank, so is RuPaul.
He's a little problematic for us.
This is nuanced activism.
So we say no to war, except in Ukraine and Gaza,
and anybody else, maybe Venezuela.
I mean, they can do whatever they want.
We say no to borders, except for those emotional borders.
which are sacred and have to be Venmo verified.
And I need a safe room for those.
We say no to violence, except, you know, the mostly non,
you know,
non-violent, mostly peaceful bricks that we're throwing through capitalist windows or the firebombing of cities or anything like that.
That's mostly peaceful.
But silence, I want to remind you,
is violence.
You know, unless it's us canceling you for saying something problematic in...
2012, then you need to be silenced.
I am proudly anti-vice,
anti-ICE, anti-Freon, anti-Tesla, anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, anti-accountability.
I'm also pro-gluten-free, revolutionary in socialism.
We demand free health care, free college, free Palestine, free Wi-Fi all across the country, especially in those places where those colonious pigs have just taken over the farmland, and free therapy for our collective trauma caused by billionaires and boomers and comedians that have opinions.
And I'm here to today to honor the sacred struggle of all the peoples, including but not limited to the indigenous TikTokers, the vegan anarchists, the queer baristas with master's degrees, the cis guilt allies who Venmo us monthly, and the brave Hamas freedom fighters who we will not mention the rape of women that they were doing.
They're learning, okay?
They're growing.
Growth is not linear, I'll just say.
So in conclusion, we are the movement of everything, and yet at the same same time, the movement of absolutely nothing.
You know, we fight for contradictions over consistency.
We fight for feelings over facts, for equity over logic, for a world where everyone is free.
I mean, unless you're a landlord or Elon Musk or somebody who said all lives matter once at a Thanksgiving table.
Have you posted your black box on Instagram yet?
What are you waiting for?
I mean, it's almost over.
We're on to other things by this point.
Power to the people.
Well, not all the people, but, you know, at least the gender-fluid AI collective will build after the revolution because trans liberation now and trans-Siberian railroad, really, I don't know what their opinion is on stuff, but I love them and free Gaza.
And hey, fight for pedophilia and abolish air conditioning.
We're in this together again.
Where are the drums?
Where are the drums?
They are, I can't keep up with them, Stu.
I can't keep up with them.
Was that
a speech from a protester or a potential mayoral candidate in New York City
that may beat Andrew Cuomo?
I'm a little confused
because I think that could come right out of his mouth as well.
I mean, that's crazy.
That's fascinating.
And
with all of these roads of each protest sort of intersection
colliding in that intersection,
it's like they don't seem to ever need to
explain them.
Why are they so
for war
in Ukraine?
Ukraine.
But so against it and so other places.
But again, like, unless it's, you know, of course, we all get a purge day on October 7th.
That was, that's totally, we're fine with violence on that day.
Totally.
Yeah.
Well, they weren't silent, and silence is violence.
So, and they were not, they were making phone calls.
They were saying all kinds of things.
Everything.
Yeah, they were doing that.
and i i'm i'm fascinated as well glenn is i seem to see all basically every word you just said on freshly printed signs um
now that is fascinating how does that work exactly do you know i don't know i mean especially from all these people that just don't seem to have jobs you know they're protesting all over and yet they can go to i mean it's not kinkos because they all have look at them they all have the little you know printed by the union sign at the bottom of those signs.
And I've never thought of the union as the place to, you know, like, ah, crap, we need a sign in an hour.
Do you know a sign company that has unions working there?
Because they're going to whip it out quickly, especially on the weekends or overnight from Saturday to Sunday morning.
It was amazing that Saturday night they bomb Iran and Sunday morning they have union printed signs about Iran and the bombing and Trump.
I mean,
I have never, wow, how does that happen?
You've got some connections at a sign store.
No leaks to Congress, but plenty of leaks to Kinkos, apparently.
Yeah.
Don't give Kinkos that credit.
I don't think you go to Kinkos and get those signs printed that quickly.
It's true.
Whatever union sign store, they got word of
the attack well in advance so they could produce all the signs, but Congress just didn't know.
They had to.
I mean, how could you pay for the...
You imagine the overtime those unions had to put in to do them overnight well those signs had to be like a thousand dollars a piece with just all the overtime of printing the signs designing the signs getting them all packaged up putting them on a truck dropping them with a pallet of bricks someplace i mean it's not easy to be a protester except for them strangely
yeah they're able to not only you know do the protests but show up at multiple protests all across the country like i don't know if they've got private jet service.
I'm not exactly sure how they pulled this off so easily, but they do.
Oh, and it's, it's really, I feel bad for them.
Now, let me be sincere here for a second.
Do you know how much money they have spent in non-American flags over the last month?
I mean, think about it.
All the flags they have to go out and buy.
And they're like, we just bought the Palestinian flag.
Now we need the Iranian flag.
I mean, how many flags are we going to have to buy?
I feel bad for them.
The flag companies are doing well, too.
This might be all big sign and big flag that is behind all of this.
It's just sad because they're so anti-capitalist.
They wouldn't want to help these industries, but they do.
I think, Glenn, no, it's just that, you know, just a lot of people in downtown Los Angeles just happen to have Palestinian flags handy.
They just had them because of all, because there's just like a massive Palestinian population in Los Angeles.
Not Detroit, where maybe that would make some sense.
But no, they just all had the Palestinian flags ready to go the next morning.
Fascinating.
If I asked you right now, Stu,
where could you buy an Iranian or Palestinian flag?
If I asked you right now, you need a flag in the wee hours of the morning, an American flag, where would you go to buy an American flag Saturday night, 10 o'clock at night?
I mean, maybe I could pull that off.
I mean, it is almost July.
I could probably go to a Walmart and find that one flag.
I would say
very difficult to find a Palestinian or Iranian flag.
I would not know.
Outside of searching on the internet and finding a store that would overnight it to me, this is probably the fastest you could find it.
I don't think I could, I don't think I would be capable of pulling that off currently.
I would have a hard time on a Monday at noon finding a place that could sell those.
And, you know, honestly, if I was going online to buy them, I would be afraid that, you know, I was now on some list being tracked because there are not a lot of people.
You know, it's 4th of July weekend.
I need a good Iranian flag.
I mean, there's not a big call for those.
You know, I would think that would put you on.
Is it possible that
this is what the FBI is doing?
Dan Bongino is like, let's just open up flag companies for all the enemies of the country.
They buy a flag, we arrest them.
We know who they are.
I mean,
that'd be a really pretty good idea, honestly.
Yeah, not a bad one.
Just enemies of the United States flags.
Just produce them with like little listening devices in each one.
And we don't, we obviously don't, you know, we don't pay attention to any of the amendments that might violate anymore anyway.
So let's just go in.
We need the listening device, though, honestly.
You're going in, give me a reason you're going in to buy an Iranian flag and you don't work for the Glenn Beck program.
Because I could see us going, we need an flag.
Okay.
But generally speaking, if you don't work for the Glenn Beck program,
what would be a good American, wholesome, I'm not against America reason to buy that flag this weekend?
Right.
Well,
it's interesting.
Even if you happen to be
a person who despises the current regime of Iran, and like we're living here, which we do have, we've had people on the show who who were born in Iran, who have, you know, who can't stand what's going on there.
Like you could be a patriotic person.
But even
those people
hate the current Iranian flag because they changed it.
So there really is no reason to do it.
Yeah.
I mean, you might go out and say, can I get the classic Iranian flag?
I could see that.
I could see that.
Pre-1979, could I get that one?
But no, I think maybe
the purchase of the Iranian and quite honestly, the Palestinian flag should lead directly to your arrest.
I'm just saying.
I mean, I know that sounds a little
bit like it wouldn't work with our Constitution and First Amendment, but
you know, we'd find a we if we were on the left, we could find a federal judge that would go along with it.
You absolutely could.
If there was a left-wing president, there'd be no problem finding a few circuits that would approve that.
You would have all of the circuits approving that.
You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.

Check out the full show podcast anywhere you download podcasts.
All right.
We've seen this movie before.
And, you know, this weekend,
we struck
without any fanfare, just really clarity and resolve.
We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear facilities.
And
I want to speak really plainly here.
Iran is not just a rogue state.
We have a rogue state in North Korea, and it's bad.
What Iran is, is the nerve center of Islamic terror.
They give $700 million
a year to Hezbollah.
$100 million to Hamas.
That's almost as much money, I think, as we give to Hamas.
They train militias from Gaza to Venezuela.
Did you know that Hamas was in Venezuela?
Yeah.
Why are they training in Venezuela?
I think you know the answer to that.
The IRGC's the Quds force, personally loyal to the Ayatollah Khomeini.
They run global assassination plots.
They have tentacles across the Middle East, Europe, and now here.
They plotted the demise and the assassination of our president, President Trump.
I thought it was very restrained of him not to target their leader, seeing that their leader targeted him just last summer.
And while we're sitting here and we're arguing about pronouns and all of the ridiculous things that we are arguing about, they're busy building drone factories in Syria and terror tunnels under Gaza and sleeper cells in the West.
We have so many sleeper cells because of Joe Biden.
that our FBI cannot keep up.
I have heard, I don't know if this is true, but I have heard this weekend, that we can't keep up with the terror cells that we have here in America.
It is so out of control that we no longer have time to really track down and stop the terror cells outside of America.
So what happened this weekend is we opened a gate.
But I want you to understand, in 2023 alone, the U.S.
Border Patrol caught over 8,000 special interest aliens, people from nations linked to terror.
And the FBI just lost track of them.
Now they are arresting them in record numbers from what I understand.
I hope that that is true, and I hope we can catch them before anything happens.
But these are not nameless nobodies.
They are trained, they are embedded, and they are waiting, not just here in America, but all over the world.
And when America pushes back,
what happened?
The media immediately screams, Islamophobia.
Why?
Because that's a made-up thing in the first place.
I think Kerr made that up.
Islamophobia.
I'm not afraid of Islam.
I'm afraid of those who want to impose the Quran and the Hadith on everyone by force.
You should have a phobia against that.
You should be phobic against that.
Let me say this as clearly as I can.
This is not about Muslims.
This is about Islamists.
There is a difference.
A Muslim, like a Catholic, practices a faith.
An Islamist imposes a regime.
And that is happening here in the United States.
A Muslim may pray, forgive, assimilate, but an Islamist believes you must bow or die.
That's what I'm against.
And I think every American should be that way as well.
Oh no, but we are just too Islamic, too Islamophobia.
We're just too filled with these, with our hatred of anything that is different.
Well, do you remember back in the day when we were going after a guy named Osama bin Laden, and at the same time we elected a guy named Barack Hussein Obama?
Obama, Osama, Hussein, Saddam Hussein.
I mean, it doesn't seem like, it seems like we can chew gum and walk at the same time.
Seems like we can differentiate between the two.
That's not bigotry.
It's grace, because that's who we are.
We are a nation that at times is bigoted, at other times has grace.
But grace can very easily become suicide.
So let me talk to you here about some things that Islamism brings in plain sight.
Okay?
In Ogran, girls are married as young as nine.
Are you for that?
Have you seen any of the videos of the young girls that are married off at nine years old and how they leave with their 50-year-old husbands?
In 2024, last year, a bill was advanced in their parliament to codify it again.
Just to make sure everybody's okay with that.
Let's codify it again.
In Afghanistan, 53% of the women were married before 18.
21% of the women are married before 15.
Honor killings, another super-duper classic from the people who bring you Islamists.
They claim 5,000 girls and women every year.
are burned, strangled, or stoned to death by their own family.
In Paris, 77% of the solved rape cases in 2023 involved foreign-born suspects.
Why?
Because the Hadith says it's okay as long as they're an infidel.
You can do whatever you want to them.
In Sweden, over 58% of the convicted rapists were immigrants.
In Germany, asylum seekers made up less than 2% of the population, but have 8.5% of the crime suspects.
This is not immigration that we're dealing with.
This is ideological importation.
If you're a Muslim and you're westernized, you fled tyranny because you know this story better than I do.
Because when Islamists take power, they kill you first.
They don't come after me first.
They kill you first
because
you have betrayed Islam according to their twisted ideology.
Yet you still pray five times a day.
They stone your daughters.
They throw your homosexual son off of a rooftop.
They burn the apostates like you.
They behead converts.
They erase liberty.
They erase women.
They erase all dissent.
This is not a faith.
This is fascism in a turban.
What we are going up against in the world is not a faith.
If anything, if I want to put it into the category of faith, when you're talking about Islamist and Islamism, it is evil.
It is the faith of the Antichrist.
I'm convinced of it.
Now, that doesn't mean Muslims.
That means those who want the regime to impose this.
And we in the West, America in particular, we are asleep at the wheel.
Look at Europe.
But here in America, let's just stick to America for just a second.
Our cities are being overrun with anti-Semitic mobs calling for an infatata or intifada.
That means basically revolution and a killing of anybody who disagrees with them.
Our campuses echo chants from the river to the sea, which means wipe out all Jews.
That's what that means, you dopes.
Our government, overwhelmed, can no longer chase Islamic terrorists outside of our borders because they're inside of our borders now.
But let me tell you,
let me make a warning to both the Islamists and honestly to ourselves.
You want to see America unite again?
Let one of these mobs or several of these sleeper cells cross the wrong line.
It's one thing to march with a flag and chant death to America.
It's another to go into our malls, into our homes, into our schools,
into our places of worship, and just start killing people.
We're divided.
But right now, there's at least 100 million Americans who know what's at stake.
They're wide awake.
You start doing this,
and Americans are not going to follow.
Americans are going to stand up against you.
Not all.
We have our crazies here too.
And it's what we're standing up for is not just our nation.
It's our civilization.
It's our daughters and their right to live free and unveiled.
It's the ability to walk our streets without being told we've provoked our own assault.
And let me tell you,
I think America is done importing abuse and calling it tolerance.
We're done.
I, for one, will always welcome those who love liberty and want to support and live under the light of liberty.
But it's time for us to stop bowing to those who wish to destroy that liberty.
And to the Islamists that are here, you might think that we are weak.
You might think that we are distracted.
But I believe you are terribly wrong.
See, we've seen this movie before,
and it had a different ending.
It went into softness and tolerance and everything else.
We didn't know how to define our enemy back then.
We just thought, mm, Muslims, trouble on planes.
At least that's the way we were painted.
But most of us didn't know anything about the Middle East or Islam or anything else.
And we couldn't believe that, you know, they could come over here and do any more than just the hijacking of planes.
We never imagined 25 years ago
what could happen
to a place like Europe or our own streets.
We never ever imagined at the time that we could see hundreds, if not thousands of people.
in the streets
fighting and setting fires for communism and Islamism.
I was called crazy for saying that this would happen in 2008, 9, 10, 11, 12.
And here it is.
We've seen this movie before, but I promise you,
we've written a new ending.
And this is a warning not just for Islamists, but also for all of us.
We have got to guard our liberty because they start causing trouble on the streets.
I mean real trouble.
You start to have a Beslin here and there.
We will go fascistic overnight.
And we can never become the thing that we despise,
fighting those things we despise.
We have to be very, very careful, but it starts first with moral clarity.
Do you believe it's okay for a nine-year-old to be married off in an arranged marriage?
I don't.
I think it's pretty clear.
Do you believe it's okay to stone a woman for adultery, but the guy gets away?
Do you believe it's okay to stone anybody to death?
Do you believe it's okay to behead infidels or behead anyone who disagrees with you?
You don't have to be a member of Islam.
You'll be a communist.
Is it okay to line you up against the wall and shoot you because you don't agree with communism?
These ideologies have an awful lot in common, and it's all on the dark side and death.
The time
to think things through is right now.
Most people don't want to even look at this.
Most people don't want to think this could even happen, but I urge you to look at what is happening in Europe.
I don't know if we're going to do it this week or next week, but I hope the Wednesday night special, either this week or next week, I hope it's this week if we have time, is to show you the footage that is coming out of these mass demonstrations
and the craziness that is happening over in Europe.
You need to see it.
I mean,
I wrote out a show last night.
I'm going to present to the producers today to see if we can pull it off this week, but I don't want to say very much.
I just want to show you what's happening all around the world because it is very clear.
We have been invaded, and in our tolerance, we are about to lose the Western civilization.
So, Iran, you should be put on notice.
You start unleashing these people on our streets.
You start coming in here and you start doing terror.
What was that, Toby Keith?
We'll put a boot up your ass.
That kind of American will show up again in righteous indignation, and we will put a boot up your ass because there's at least a hundred million of us that are not going to live under that kind of tyranny ever.
