Folks, we are in the kinetic part of the Third World War.
00:00:06.700
We can't let the Mitch McConnells and all these people that brought us here
00:00:12.980
that have allowed China to actually do a flex on the, think about that,
00:00:18.500
everything the United States of America did on a war they never wanted to get involved in.
00:00:25.520
Everything we did, all the blood, all the sacrifice,
00:00:28.840
all the resources, all the toughness, the firebombing of Japan,
00:00:39.900
the landings in North Africa, Normandy, all of it.
00:00:44.040
The guys who fought in China, of which President Trump said,
00:00:46.420
hey, wouldn't you just give us a little thank you for that?
00:00:49.740
Of all the sacrifice, they choose the 80th anniversary to get in your grill
00:01:07.900
They're an existential threat to the Lao Ba Jing, the folks in China.
00:01:17.120
And they're a threat to the people of the United States.
00:01:18.920
It's what they've done in this country to co-op Wall Street,
00:01:24.580
And that's what America First is, putting our citizens, our sovereignty,
00:01:32.200
But if we flinch on that at any time, we could lose this.
00:01:38.640
Because an individual like Donald Trump comes along maybe once in a country's history.
00:01:49.580
But with all his imperfection, in fact, his imperfections,
00:01:54.180
his rising above his imperfections is his true greatness.
00:02:07.480
And build the logistics, change the camps, everything.
00:02:10.360
We're doing that from the summer of 2025, right?
00:02:17.260
And we start the 1.6 million final deportation orders.
00:02:20.680
And then the other 2 million as they burn off on the phony permission we gave them to be here, right?
00:02:30.520
That's all coming essentially in a year called 2026.
00:02:35.600
And what happens in November that year of 2026, the midterm elections?
00:02:39.500
And what you're going to have, if you think the intensity,
00:02:43.780
this is what I just want the audience to understand,
00:02:45.400
because we're prepping the battlefield here, folks.
00:02:49.200
The media attention on the savages that President Trump as commander-in-chief sent out of here in the court cases.
00:03:01.380
who's out of control, who has found President Trump, or excuse me, his advisors may be guilty of criminal contempt
00:03:10.100
and him coming in the middle of a decision as commander-in-chief.
00:03:14.220
And I might add, folks, take your number two pencil out right down.
00:03:23.700
They're coming as hard as you've ever seen anything come in your life.
00:03:27.920
So if you want to deport the 10 million illegal aliens in this country that have to go or you don't have a country,
00:03:35.580
and you're not going to have a concept of a country, your sovereignty, your territorial integrity, anything about that,
00:03:41.500
and we know that working-class Hispanics and working-class blacks and working-class whites want this more than anything,
00:03:49.620
if you don't do that, and we're going to hit a firestorm, folks.
00:03:53.080
I said this back in Pinehurst, North Carolina, in a speech I gave at the North Carolina Country Club two years ago.
00:04:00.040
The convergence of budget cuts for social programs and the convergence of the deportations when it would happen in 25,
00:04:08.900
and it looks like it's going to happen now in late 25 or early 26, is something people ain't prepared for.
00:04:20.540
And besides Trump, show me these guys up on Capitol Hill who's got a spine of steel.
00:04:23.960
I got Tom Homan, I got Donald Trump, I got Benzman, I got Chrissy Noem, I got a handful.
00:04:31.280
I got no more Tom 10 Kratos who I saw back in Colorado when I was out there.
00:04:42.200
And this is going to be – this is either going to have a country or not going to have a country.
00:04:50.600
You have to do it with respect and dignity, but they got to go.
00:04:54.100
And if we don't want the Chinese Communist Party to be competitive, there are methods to do that.
00:04:59.400
Number one, you don't let Jensen Wong talk you into selling high-end chips.
00:05:05.040
There are certain aspects they may be ahead, but if you cut them off from equity capital,
00:05:09.780
you cut them off from debt capital, you cut them off from all the capital markets in the United States,
00:05:14.020
you cut them off to how to build the ecosystem.
00:05:16.100
And what I mean by the ecosystem, the training, the know-how, the expertise, the knowledge,
00:05:22.280
training these Chinese engineers in our own colleges and then have them go back to compete with us.
00:05:31.160
Would the Chinese ever sell these chips to us if they had and we didn't?
00:05:34.820
So the message that is being projected behind us right here, right now, it says don't let AI buy the government.
00:05:43.300
It's going, it's sequencing through and hopefully many thousands, tens of thousands of people will see this stop SACS AI preemption.
00:05:53.520
As this message is going out, as it's going out to the war room posse, what do you hope to see tomorrow?
00:06:00.320
And what do you hope to see long term in this fight against these companies and the people who are facilitating it here in Washington, D.C.?
00:06:08.120
I mean, we're looking for common sense legislation that would protect kids.
00:06:12.440
We're looking for safety by design and no preemption.
00:06:17.380
I would encourage all of your viewers to call their congressperson tomorrow morning, ask them to support a strong COSA and stand against preemption.
00:06:29.260
This is about power politics and what Charlie Kirk believed in, to the core of his being, that America makes decisions for America and Americans make decisions for America.
00:06:46.540
Why the hell, why the hell do you think they assassinated him?
00:06:50.160
Why do they put the poison all over this place?
00:06:53.660
James Carville said yesterday that Rob Reiner's done a hundred times more than Charlie Kirk.
00:06:58.420
They hate Charlie Kirk because Charlie Kirk brought victories.
00:07:03.780
And with victory after victory after victory, that's when we can re-Christianize this country.
00:07:10.500
That we were a Christian nation that got off the rails.
00:07:25.340
You are in the shadows of a giant, not just an American patriot and an American hero.
00:07:34.060
Charlie Kirk is a Christian martyr, and Charlie Kirk is a Christian saint.
00:07:45.220
The day I went into prison, the day I went into prison, we passed the show to Charlie Kirk,
00:07:50.500
as we did oftentimes in the three and a half years that Charlie Posobiec and I had that block at Real America's Voice.
00:07:55.980
And what Charlie said, I said to Charlie, next man up.
00:08:04.000
Are you going to fill the shoes of Charlie Kirk?
00:08:14.240
That's what's going—you in this room right here are going to decide whether we win in 26.
00:08:19.380
And if we don't win in 26, they're going to bring holy hell down on us.
00:08:31.640
Should old acquaintance be forgot and never want to buy?
00:08:45.260
Should old acquaintance be forgot and old lands sigh?
00:08:57.820
For old lands sigh, my dear, for old lands sigh,
00:09:11.380
We'll take a cup of kindness yet for old lands sigh.
00:09:23.660
I'm sure you'll buy your drink cup, and surely I'll buy mine.
00:09:35.660
And we'll take a cup of kindness yet for old lands sigh.
00:09:47.900
For old lands sigh, we'll take a cup of kindness yet for old lands sigh.
00:10:12.900
For old lands sigh, we'll take a cup of kindness yet for old lands sigh.
00:10:42.880
For old lands sigh, we'll take a cup of kindness yet for old lands sigh.
00:10:49.880
And we'll take a cup of kindness yet for old lands sigh.
00:10:51.880
And we'll take a cup of kindness yet for old lands sigh.
00:11:01.880
And there's a cup of kindness yet for old lands sigh.
00:11:03.880
And there's a cup of kindness yet for old lands sigh.
00:11:04.880
And there's a hand, my trusty friend, and there's a hand, my trusty friend, and needs a hand of thine.
00:11:16.880
We'll take a right good, we'll draft for old and side.
00:11:30.680
For old and side, my dear, for old and side, we'll take a cup of kindness, yet for old and side.
00:11:56.480
We'll take a cup of kindness, yet for old and side.
00:12:10.480
We'll take a cup of kindness, yet for old and side.
00:12:28.480
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:12:33.480
You're just not going to get a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:12:40.480
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:12:44.480
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:12:49.480
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:12:54.480
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:12:58.480
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:13:10.480
It's Wednesday, 31 December, the year of our Lord, 2025.
00:13:18.480
And of course, that is the last time we'll be saying that, the 2025.
00:13:21.480
This is the last day of the year, our traditional New Year's Eve special,
00:13:25.480
where we're going to go through the victories and defeats,
00:13:29.480
particularly where we use the big muscles in 2025, a historic year,
00:13:34.480
the first year of the return of President Trump's second term,
00:13:38.480
and the days of thunder, the flooding of the zone.
00:13:41.480
But as you saw right there, man, that's pretty good.
00:13:44.480
You would think that was ripped from this morning's headlines.
00:13:49.480
That is the things we've talked about and discussed and worked on in your victories over this past year.
00:13:56.480
He's going to join us, the head of our International Bureau.
00:13:59.480
And of course, our own Dave Brat, riding shotgun with me this morning as we're going to go through the year,
00:14:04.480
but do it as a prep for the springboard for what's to come in the coming year.
00:14:10.480
Today, you know, Tehran is in absolute chaos, as I've told you time and time again.
00:14:17.480
Don't need to go in and bomb them. Don't need to send troops in.
00:14:20.480
If you just pay attention in Jerusalem and focus on what to cut them off economically,
00:14:29.480
Of course, last night, I think they were actually firing on the crowds.
00:14:32.480
In Minneapolis, the Somalians are bringing kids back, scrambling to bring kids back to the to these phony childcare centers.
00:14:41.480
And in New York City, they're preparing for a the inauguration of the mayor.
00:14:48.480
And for the first time in history, they're going to use the Koran.
00:14:51.480
Hmm. I think I see a common theme there. Short commercial break.
00:14:54.480
We'll be back in the warm New Year's Eve special. Just a moment.
00:14:59.480
If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt?
00:15:07.480
If we could give yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief from your credit card and other debt?
00:15:19.480
This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books.
00:15:26.480
They sell a right off the debt to clear their books.
00:15:29.480
That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before you're in.
00:15:38.480
That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage and done with debt knows how to use this to your advantage.
00:15:47.480
They monitor lender trends and understand the year end pressure on creditors.
00:15:52.480
They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf.
00:15:56.480
Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy or taking on new loans.
00:16:04.480
Done with debt goes to work for you month one with one clear goal to reduce your total debt and leave you with more money every month.
00:16:14.480
Get started now because your leverage may disappear at the end of the year.
00:16:20.480
Chat with a done with debt specialist at done with debt dot com.
00:16:37.480
brought to mind, should old acquaintance be forgot, and days of auld lang syne.
00:16:54.240
For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
00:17:16.240
for auld lang syne, we do have a boot, a bridge that blew the government's mind,
00:17:38.600
with old and early a weary foot, sing auld lang syne.
00:17:52.680
For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
00:18:14.660
for auld lang syne, and here's a hand, my trusty friend, and here's a hand of...
00:18:33.240
We want to have a little contrast to start the morning.
00:18:35.360
That was opening with the Coral Scholars of University College Dublin, a women's contention.
00:18:42.740
Can't get more beautiful than that, and of course, Robert Shaw.
00:18:46.200
Back in the 1950s and 60s, these amazing corrals put together by so many different composers,
00:18:53.780
but Robert Shaw, one of my favorites right there.
00:18:55.500
So compare the female version and the male, both of them pretty great, right?
00:19:00.580
Ringing out the old and ringing in the new here in the war room this morning.
00:19:05.900
We're live Wednesday, 31 December, Year of Our Lord, 2025.
00:19:09.140
A lot of news, and a lot of news revolving around one topic.
00:19:15.320
Ben Harnwell, on 9 January, we're going to go to Texas, the great state of Texas,
00:19:27.200
Others, and we're going to spend, I think, a couple of days down in Texas
00:19:29.600
meeting people, helping to organize, or I should say not helping to organize,
00:19:34.320
but driving forward the organizing that's going on, it's about this topic of Islamification.
00:19:43.240
And you can see it taking place in Texas, and we're seeing the results of what's happened
00:19:49.020
in Europe over the last couple of decades, and it's not pretty.
00:19:56.560
You're seeing Paris has fallen, London has fallen.
00:19:58.420
Tomorrow, the Koran is going to be used for the first time in the city's history.
00:20:04.820
As you guys remember, let's go back to the combat history of Christmas,
00:20:09.900
where we go through that first Christmas of the United States in 1776,
00:20:15.480
and we talk about the centrality of New York City in our revolution
00:20:19.000
and how it was probably the most key, so more important even than Boston and Philadelphia.
00:20:23.120
It was the center, it was the key that picked the lock and fought over or fought around forever.
00:20:30.000
Founded by the Dutch and then the Americans, and now a Ugandan Marxist jihadist
00:20:38.540
is going to take the oath of office tomorrow on a Koran.
00:20:43.120
Ben Harnwell, the reason we're going to Texas is to stop that happening in the great state of Texas
00:20:47.840
because there's actually a very well-thought-through plan by the forces of Islam in this world.
00:20:54.580
And you see, and this is this year, you start to see it perk up.
00:20:57.680
You know, we've been all over it, but it's coming to, not coming to a head,
00:21:01.300
but getting more and more in your grill, as we can see up in Minneapolis.
00:21:04.540
Your thoughts about all of it, sir, you've been particularly focused on this,
00:21:12.460
What is it, 48 mosques that they're opening or have opened down in Texas,
00:21:21.260
what might once have been called Bible Belt and now becoming Koran Belt.
00:21:26.020
I was particularly interested to see the New York Times.
00:21:30.820
If Denver, I don't know if you've got the article, you might splash it up on the screen as I'm talking.
00:21:37.120
And the New York Times, I think, is always the thanks very much, guys.
00:21:45.820
They're falling over themselves to say how natural and appropriate it is
00:21:52.600
that Mamdani will be the first mayor to swear in with his hand on the Koran.
00:22:00.220
Or let me put it, you called him a Ugandan Marxist jihadist.
00:22:04.140
As the New York Times put it slightly differently, they said Mr. Mamdani's faith was a defining feature of his campaign.
00:22:15.540
You know, you've got to read this article because it illustrates everything that's wrong with the left
00:22:20.040
and just how closely integrated they are, the nexus between the left and the Koran.
00:22:29.560
He's going to come on and say a few things as well.
00:22:36.080
It is appropriate that Mamdani does put his hand on the Koran
00:22:52.460
They are telling you what they are doing now as they are doing it.
00:23:03.880
There is, you know, as separate notionally as the left and its LBGQ agenda is from Islamia,
00:23:16.920
as much as the left is attached to feminism, which is not part of the Islamic agenda,
00:23:22.920
obviously you have all these issues on which there is an antagonism.
00:23:26.920
The most fundamental point between the two of them is the alignment in their opposition to Jesus Christ and his kingdom.
00:23:39.700
That's why they're so compatible right across the West.
00:23:43.660
You see this affinity between the left and Islam.
00:23:48.080
Fundamentally, Steve, history is driven by supernatural factors, right?
00:23:53.900
The Holy Spirit, the battle between Ephesians 6.12, that our fight is not against flesh and blood, right?
00:24:03.620
There's a spiritual dynamic to human history, and you see that in the ever more overt coming together of the left and Islam.
00:24:12.520
And you can see this with the placing of the hand on the Koran tomorrow by New York's mayor.
00:24:22.060
The response, Steve, and you're leading the way in Texas next week, is what we're going to do about this from this scenario.
00:24:30.980
We've been led in by our own complacency and our own willingness to be distracted over many decades.
00:24:41.480
Perhaps I'll go into more detail tomorrow on this, on the New Year's show.
00:24:46.340
But I would suggest that the approach for every Christian who is opposed to what they are doing is to pray, to discern,
00:24:55.280
and then to act and do everything within one's power, within the realm that Christ has put us,
00:25:01.980
within which the Holy Spirit has put us, to effect that gospel change in our immediate lives.
00:25:07.940
That's what we can do, and I think that's what you're going to be doing in January.
00:25:16.480
In the next block, in fact, I want to give enough runway for Brett.
00:25:19.720
Brett's got a great way to compare and contrast this.
00:25:26.740
And this is why we say, and in fact, at the bottom of this block, we've had traditionally for the last, I think, year or two,
00:25:36.340
Modern Day Holy War by Nicole Negrady, because I just think it's a fantastic song.
00:25:41.960
This is, even if you're not particularly religious, even if you're not spiritual,
00:25:47.540
as Ben said, this is a bigger, bigger drama that's playing out on a bigger scale.
00:25:52.560
And that's why I continue to say Donald Trump, for all his faults, and look, this year, you know, has it been perfect?
00:26:00.940
It's never going to be perfect for the simple reasons that these are human institutions and we're all humans.
00:26:06.780
But directionally, it's pretty damn good, with some big exceptions.
00:26:13.140
And that's why the Warren Posse is here, to make sure that, you know, people can stay focused and we can, you know, hammer things out.
00:26:21.840
This is why the return of Trump in 2024, that amazing come from behind victory, which was on your shoulders, the grassroots.
00:26:29.460
And that's why you're going to drive things more than ever.
00:26:32.040
And these massive fights really about the salvation of Christendom, the Christian West, and by two forces,
00:26:41.180
one, this massive force of Islam, right, with the money and power behind it, and also transhumanism,
00:26:56.660
We've had many, many, many victories here, right?
00:27:00.220
And all of them haven't been massive victories.
00:27:04.720
And that's why you, this working class and middle class audience, are to hammer through 2026.
00:27:15.780
I've said time and time again, I believe that President Trump, the economic plan of Bessett and Trump, is really going to start kicking in.
00:27:22.620
I realize everybody haven't seen the benefits of this, and that economic plan is not perfect, far from perfect.
00:27:28.080
There are many aspects of it that I don't particularly care for, but generally and directionally, about bringing manufacturing jobs here back,
00:27:37.640
When that starts to kick in, as I said, they're going to get more and more vicious.
00:27:44.260
And the buried leader, what Ben Harnwell just said, is that they're not hiding it anymore.
00:27:50.200
They're not trying to sneak in here on cat's paws.
00:27:52.880
They're coming in and rolling in up in your grill.
00:27:56.080
And the question is going to be, are you going to defend this and start pushing back and making sure that our country is what it was founded on, a Christian country,
00:28:06.140
part of the Judeo-Christian West underpinnings of our civilization, but a Christian nation.
00:28:11.540
That is going to be one of the big fights before us in 2026 between transhumanism and the Islamification of the United States of America.
00:28:22.220
Dave Bratt's got a thing or two to say about this.
00:28:24.760
He'll have a lot of runway in the next segment of The War Room.
00:28:31.200
And his highly anticipated inauguration will kick off just moments after the New Year's Eve ball drop.
00:28:36.740
The 34-year-old Democratic Socialists will be surrounded by progressive heavyweights throughout the day.
00:28:42.340
Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Letitia James.
00:28:48.860
On January 1st, I will be sworn in as the mayor of New York City.
00:28:56.800
Zora Mamdani, the 34-year-old Democratic Socialist who stunned the political world in November,
00:29:03.100
will be sworn in as New York City's 112th mayor at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day.
00:29:09.640
Mamdani, who will be New York's first Muslim and South Asian-American mayor,
00:29:14.240
will be introduced by progressive Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and sworn in by Senator Bernie Sanders.
00:29:21.340
Mamdani, who previously served in the state assembly and once moonlighted as a rapper,
00:29:27.580
will take over the reins of America's largest city, overseeing 300,000 public employees and a $116 billion budget.
00:29:37.180
I will fight for a city that works for you, that is affordable for you, that is safe for you.
00:29:43.460
Mamdani's win against former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary shocked the political establishment.
00:29:52.000
He cruised to victory again in November with promises to make the city affordable for the working class.
00:29:57.920
There are promises to freeze the rent, to make buses fast and free, to deliver universal child care.
00:30:03.920
To pay for his ambitious agenda, Mamdani wants to raise taxes on wealthy residents,
00:30:08.920
an ask Governor Kathy Hochul has so far rejected.
00:30:12.060
But the governor, heading into her own re-election year in 2026, has said she'll work with the incoming mayor.
00:30:19.380
He and I have had many meetings individually and with our staff to find a path forward,
00:30:25.520
something that's reasonable, that we can get started on universal child care.
00:30:30.620
Mamdani, who has called President Trump a fascist, says he is willing to work with him if it'll help his agenda.
00:30:36.960
Last month, he traveled to D.C. for a high-stakes meeting with Trump in the Oval Office,
00:30:42.140
who went from calling Mamdani a lunatic to this.
00:30:45.620
We agree on a lot more than I would have thought.
00:30:47.540
I want him to do a great job, and we'll help him do a great job.
00:30:52.760
Wow, you are even better looking in person than you are on TV.
00:30:56.760
So far, Mamdani has made appointments to New York City's core service agencies,
00:31:01.760
including keeping NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch in charge of the department.
00:31:06.120
I will demand excellence from my team, from myself,
00:31:09.740
and also I will ensure that we create the conditions where that excellence is possible to deliver on.
00:31:14.700
But some of his hires have garnered controversy.
00:31:17.560
A day after naming his director of appointments,
00:31:20.060
Mamdani accepted her resignation after it was revealed
00:31:23.380
she had posted a series of anti-Semitic posts online more than a decade ago.
00:31:28.060
We are currently underway at making changes in our vetting process.
00:31:31.000
As he prepares to take office, Mamdani is also getting a major real estate upgrade.
00:31:36.120
He and his wife, Ramaduwaji, will leave their one-bedroom,
00:31:39.500
$2,300-a-month apartment in Queens and move into Gracie Mansion.
00:31:44.100
Mamdani will be sworn in during a private midnight ceremony
00:31:47.180
at the old, now-abandoned City Hall subway station.
00:31:51.020
A public inauguration is scheduled for the afternoon,
00:31:55.860
including children's YouTuber Ms. Rachel and actress Cynthia Nixon.
00:32:06.820
As I said, the National Conservative speech I gave, I think it was back in June.
00:32:16.160
The Israel First crowd that brought you a two-state solution.
00:32:22.940
You know, they had this thing the other day about what went on in Mar-a-Lago.
00:32:31.860
Yo, dude, what do you think is happening in Gaza right now?
00:32:38.220
You've got Qatar that's got money in everywhere,
00:32:41.220
including the New York City public school system.
00:32:59.240
Don't focus on sucking, doing a regime change war from the top,
00:33:05.400
and having America get involved in another endless war in the Middle East.
00:33:11.460
And if you watched Posobiec's specials this week,
00:33:17.520
and about how we got sucked into other Middle East wars.
00:33:25.600
what's relevant is what's happening in New York City.
00:33:30.660
has visited upon us a two-state solution in Israel.
00:33:36.020
And this is why I argue we have to have a third state.
00:33:43.120
starting on Friday and Saturday, to discuss that.
00:33:52.380
and this is a huge, huge, huge wound in the United States.
00:33:58.220
And if you connect what's happening in Minneapolis
00:34:03.940
this is exactly what I told this conference of neocons
00:34:22.860
You, this audience, we're going to have to fix this.
00:34:27.100
Dave Bratt, you've got some thoughts about this, sir.
00:34:33.320
You've got runway, and the floor is yours, sir.
00:34:40.420
The New York Times, as we've gone over on this show for years,
00:34:44.260
has just been constantly putting down evangelicals,
00:34:57.800
I'm going to flesh out what the New York Times is saying.
00:35:08.620
but Laura Loomer, I got the thing to her early this morning.
00:35:16.320
The audience, we've made it so you can read it.
00:35:26.520
And this is the paper of record in this country.
00:35:31.000
You will want to throw up as you read this piece.
00:35:48.940
became one of the first American elected officials
00:35:59.320
also put her hand on a Quran for her swearing in.
00:36:18.140
in seeing one of their own rise to the mayoralty,
00:36:20.740
comma, his inauguration will bring another special first
00:36:33.320
What tradition are you talking about, New York Times?
00:37:06.660
was the book of Deuteronomy in the Christian Bible.
00:37:16.180
show me the lines, connect the dots between the Koran
00:37:24.840
if you look, and all of this is just mainstream, right?
00:37:27.100
No one wants to talk about it because it's not polite.
00:37:49.400
Now you cannot name a great Islamic university.
00:38:17.780
In capitalism, properly construed, free markets,
00:38:27.340
If you don't make good stuff that I want to buy,
00:38:30.880
In socialism, it's you give me more stuff, period.
00:39:01.320
I skipped over the major piece right off the bat
00:39:08.680
And so you've got to do your theology, New York Times.
00:39:19.360
And that's why when you see the logic, it's top-down.
00:39:23.040
The major priority in Islam is complete submission to Allah.
00:39:36.700
When Christmas, we just got done with Christmas,
00:39:52.500
I want to say a little bit more on this rights,
00:40:01.380
hear Brad talking about the constitution rights,
00:40:05.340
It's the first one, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.
00:40:14.160
They want to force us, as I just said, on socialism.
00:40:21.780
The minority groups in this country have been successful
00:40:32.620
that gave us the minority rights in the first place.
00:40:37.360
the very book that originates our right language,
00:40:40.440
of which free market system, private property rights,
00:40:46.120
all of those come straight out of the Catholic tradition
00:40:55.420
I look forward to a response by the New York Times.
00:41:01.260
the piety and tradition they refer to glowingly
00:41:05.080
while they mock evangelicals, Protestants, and Catholics.
00:41:09.220
They mock everything about the Christian faith.
00:41:24.000
The Mondawmi situation may should be taken head on.
00:41:29.240
And he's, you know, he's the master negotiator.
00:41:31.960
I think this thing has to be confronted head on.
00:41:36.260
he's got all these guys, lawyers who defended Al-Qaeda.
00:41:41.380
You're going to see the Islamification of New York City.
00:41:51.720
Texas and New York City, they're coming for it.
00:43:03.240
It's very appropriate we have backpipes because I'm going to bring Harnwell in.
00:43:07.040
So for edification, as we come to this end of this year, and now you've got all this
00:43:11.760
explosion about the Islamic problem in the United States, and it's a problem.
00:43:22.460
Christianity as we know it is the Gentile church, not the Christian Jewish part of it for many
00:43:32.260
The church in Jerusalem did not get traction, right?
00:43:35.140
James, the brother of Jesus historically, was the head of that church.
00:43:40.760
But very quickly in the apostolic age, there was a shift to Rome and to Greece and to other
00:43:47.700
places where there were Gentiles and the Gentile churches where it got traction.
00:43:51.560
How is it that kind of what became the Christian West out of Europe with all the art and all
00:44:00.520
the music and all the celebration, the Reformation, trying to reform the church, the counter-Reformation,
00:44:07.640
trying to reform or counter the Reformation, all of that.
00:44:11.200
Why was it Christian Europe that the elites failed to take a stand?
00:44:21.780
Brussels is a horrible story overnight coming out of Brussels.
00:44:25.460
So, Ben, as we look at this as a Christian nation here, based upon the Judeo-Christian West, our civilization,
00:44:33.680
how are we supposed to look at this when you have a perfect example of the elites in this country?
00:44:38.560
That's why this New York Times article is so important to read today.
00:44:42.080
The elites in this country are choosing a side, right?
00:44:47.620
They talk about the piety of it and how Solomon is and how, you know, what a deep meaning it has for the Ugandan Mandami.
00:44:55.440
If the elites are not prepared to defend it, is it worth defending, sir?
00:45:00.920
Well, I don't think post-Christian civilization is worth defending.
00:45:06.980
I'm interested in defending Christian civilization because that's founded on the true revelation of God to humanity through Jesus Christ
00:45:15.580
and through the prophets, through the Old Testament prophets before that.
00:45:21.320
Post-Christian civilization, in inverted commas, is just a make-it-up-as-you-go-along project,
00:45:27.560
which has been failing since the Enlightenment and the French Revolution.
00:45:33.300
Look, so many things you said in your question, right?
00:45:37.660
I think we're going to need more than one block to handle this
00:45:40.060
because you're also going to get to the point of where we're going now.
00:45:43.360
So, firstly, on the issue of the Jewish church, I need to push back on you from memory here.
00:45:54.220
It's not quite true to say that the Jewish element of the church collapsed pretty quickly
00:46:00.420
as momentum went over to the Gentile side via St. Paul.
00:46:06.160
Because, really, what actually happened was that Judaism at the time was split into two factions,
00:46:11.480
Greek-speaking Judaism, which followed the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament,
00:46:20.440
and then the Hebrew faction, which was basically being promoted by the Pharisees.
00:46:28.400
What actually happened at the time of Christ, after the death of Christ,
00:46:32.940
in that period between, what, 33 AD and the collapse of the temple?
00:46:41.460
Almost the entirety of the Greek-speaking Jews came over.
00:46:51.220
That is what the first century church grew out of.
00:46:56.900
And what you had left is basically the Pharisaical movement,
00:47:00.140
which is, via various stages, what the Jewish community is descended from today.
00:47:06.240
And the important thing about that is the fact that the Jews out of which the first church emerged
00:47:14.560
was Greek-speaking, because that comes into the point now of how influential Christianity was in Europe
00:47:22.540
as it moved westward with the inspiration of Greek philosophy at its wind.
00:47:27.740
That's something absolutely lacking in Islam, which is the importance of rationality.
00:47:32.600
Now, I am the first person who will queue up and criticise Pope Benedict on so many fronts.
00:47:40.580
But if you want one positive thing to identify in his pontificate,
00:47:45.940
which was actually the important thing about his Regensburg speech,
00:47:53.920
that Christianity as a religious force developed from three principal streams,
00:48:00.600
where our three principal cities, which is Jerusalem, Rome, and Athens.
00:48:08.640
and obviously Dave Bratt can speak far more eloquently to this than I can,
00:48:12.420
but the importance of rationality as being a tool given to mankind
00:48:28.120
there are no really great Islamic universities for this reason,
00:48:31.860
because the whole point of Islam is contained and limited in the Koran,
00:48:46.600
and then I want to come back and explain exactly what's going wrong now in the West following this.
00:48:53.060
We're going to continue on with this with Bratt and Ben Harnwell.
00:49:00.260
once again the New York Times and the mainstream media picked out one or two elements,
00:49:10.540
It was actually one of the deepest and most meaningful speeches I think any Pope has ever given,
00:49:16.260
And man, is it relevant in America on the 31st of December,
