It's Monday, and of course, President Obama continues to whine about overreactions by the West to radical Islamic terror, and now we have a whole narrative about how Republicans are deeply Islamophobic, and the chief offender is Donald Trump. We will also talk about President Obama's quest to keep us from overreacting to the threat of radical Islamic terrorism, and why that's not going to work. It's Monday and it's Monday! We'll talk about that, and we'll also discuss President Obama and his quest to make us overreactive to radical Islam, and how it's not even close to working in the short term. It's going to take a lot more than that to defeat radical Islamic terrorists, and that's what we're all going to have to do, right?

00:00:19.000Alright, so here we are, it is Monday, and of course, President Obama continues to whine about overreactions by the West to radical Islamic terror.
00:00:28.000And now we have this whole narrative about how Republicans are deeply Islamophobic.
00:00:39.000Donald Trump was asked by a reporter at NBC if he supported the idea of a Muslim registry or a Muslim database for people living inside the United States.
00:00:48.000He apparently thought that they were talking about new people entering the United States.
00:00:55.000And he said, yeah, we should have such a database.
00:00:56.000And everybody took it like he wanted to make Muslims wear crescents in the streets and such.
00:01:01.000There was no evidence that he actually wanted to do any of this, but Trump didn't openly repudiate this, even though it wasn't his idea in the first place.
00:01:10.000And this is the routine that the Democrats are now going to play.
00:01:14.000The Democrats play this routine where they suggest that ISIS is basically weak, that it's on the edge, that we can destroy ISIS.
00:01:21.000So what are you so worried about with all this Islamic stuff?
00:01:24.000It really is just that you're a bunch of goobers.
00:01:26.000You're really just a bunch of backward idiots from the sticks.
00:01:30.000John Kerry, the Secretary of State, he's most famous for having a face that looks like lurch and an IQ that rivals some of the more upper echelon vegetables.
00:01:47.000John Kerry, he said that ISIS will be defeated.
00:02:24.000I'm about to meet with the Saudi Arabians.
00:02:28.000There is a very clear focus by everybody.
00:02:33.000There is a united front, and I am absolutely convinced that Daesh will be defeated, and there will be increased steps taken in order to do so.
00:02:52.000He started off looking more like Larch.
00:02:55.000Now he actually just looks like the Easter Island heads.
00:02:58.000He's just, he's got this stone face and for those who aren't watching his mouth moves and even less of his mouth moves every time so eventually he'll just be reduced to guttural grunt that emanate from his chest and throat.
00:03:09.000But another note worth making here, when he says Daesh, he's talking about Daesh, okay?
00:03:14.000Daesh is the is the Arabic name for ISIS.
00:03:16.000What's so stupid about this is that he's saying Daesh supposedly so Muslims know what he's talking about.
00:03:24.000Right, so he drops an Arabic word in the middle of an English sentence, and suddenly this is supposed to make the Muslim population all over the Middle East understand him, because he's a very stupid man.
00:03:32.000So he says, we're going to defeat them.
00:03:57.000It'll just magically, by happenstance, an asteroid will come from outer space, and it'll hit ISIS, and it'll miss the rest of Earth, and it'll totally take them out, but do no damage anywhere else.
00:04:05.000Here's President Obama talking about how ISIS will be destroyed.
00:04:09.000He gets out his soothsayer outfit and his crystal ball,
00:04:12.000And then he proceeds to gaze into it like a swami.
00:04:18.000Destroying ISIL is not only a realistic goal, we're going to get it done and we're going to pursue it with every aspect of American power and with all the coalition partners that we've assembled.
00:04:34.000It's gonna get done with all the coalition partners.
00:04:36.000He's already ruled out heavy use of ground troops, of course, even though his own people say without ground troops nothing happens against ISIS.
00:04:43.000Dianne Feinstein, who's an ally of President Obama's, senator from California, even she says our approach is insufficient.
00:06:57.000He was speaking in Kuala Lumpur, which is in Malaysia.
00:07:01.000And he said, we do not succumb to fear.
00:07:04.000The most powerful tool we have to fight ISIL is to say that we're not afraid, to not elevate them, to somehow buy into their fantasy that they're doing something important.
00:07:12.000He said, there are a bunch of killers with good social media, right?
00:07:16.000And he said that they can't beat us on the battlefield, so they try to terrorize us into being afraid.
00:07:20.000He says, I think it's absolutely vital for every country, every leader to send a signal, the viciousness of a handful of killers does not stop the world from doing vital business.
00:07:28.000What was the vital business he was talking about?
00:07:30.000He was talking about meeting about climate change in Paris.
00:07:33.000So clearly what's going to defeat ISIS is if we get together and we talk about climate change in Paris.
00:07:39.000So here he is saying it's really not a big threat at all.
00:07:41.000Now, you wonder why it is that the President of the United States has to minimize the threat.
00:07:45.000Why exactly does the President of the United States have to minimize the threat?
00:07:48.000And all of his allies minimize the threat as well.
00:07:51.000Eleanor Clift, who writes for Time Magazine, Eleanor Clift, she was minimizing it on the Sunday shows.
00:07:56.000She says, we really shouldn't take ISIS that seriously.
00:07:58.000After all, our real biggest foe isn't ISIS.
00:08:01.000Our biggest foe is, you guessed it, climate change.
00:08:23.000Okay, so this is the insane idea, right?
00:08:25.000The insane idea is that terror is nothing to be feared.
00:08:27.000First of all, when President Obama says our best weapon against ISIS is not fearing them, okay, this is like when, and then people on the left, they say, yeah, no, it's totally true.
00:08:36.000It's like when FDR said that we have nothing to fear but fear itself.
00:08:39.000Well, it turned out we also had to fear the arsenal of the Germans and the Japanese.
00:08:43.000It turned out there were a few other things that we had to fear in the world.
00:08:45.000It turns out our best tool against ISIL is not our capacity to light candles and stand in city streets,
00:09:28.000Instead, I think the reason Americans turned against the Bush administration is because they told us we didn't have to sacrifice anything, and it wasn't true.
00:09:35.000Because, in the end, we did have to make certain sacrifices.
00:09:39.000We did have to allow these morons from Homeland Security to ransack our crap at the airport.
00:09:45.000Which is useless, but President Obama, you know, he does sort of the same thing here, which is it's not a big threat.
00:09:51.000And so the question is why they do this.
00:09:53.000Why are they talking about climate change?
00:09:55.000Why try to minimize the threat of ISIS?
00:09:57.000Why try to minimize the threat of radical Islam?
00:09:59.000And the answer is because, as I've said multiple times on the program already, when it comes to the left, their chief goal in politics is to ensure that you, the American people, we all think the biggest threat to the West is not ISIS, it's not China, it's not Russia, it's not anything foreign, it's the American right.
00:10:17.000The American right is the biggest threat to America.
00:10:19.000The American right is what can destroy America from within.
00:10:22.000And so this is why you see Chuck Todd over on NBC, and he says that the GOP is the big threat to America because of their Islamophobia.
00:10:29.000You know, only in a crazy world would you think that in the weeks after 129 people were murdered in Paris, and a bunch of people were murdered in Mali, and a bunch of people were murdered in Israel, have been murdered in Israel for weeks and weeks at a time, including three American citizens in the last five weeks, that the real threat to America is Islamophobia, is our great fear of Islam.
00:10:49.000Here is Chuck Todd making exactly that case.
00:10:52.000And while President Obama's response to the Paris attacks was roundly criticized for being a bit tone-deaf and dispassionate, the Republican presidential candidates have been playing on the politics of fear in an extraordinary way.
00:11:06.000I'm playing on the politics of fear in an extraordinary way.
00:11:09.000And specifically, he's not the only one saying this.
00:11:11.000Charles Blow, who is a lying race baiter over at New York Times, and I say that because he once accused the police at his son's university of racially profiling his son.
00:11:20.000Only one problem, the police officer turned out to be black.
00:11:23.000Charles Blow wrote a column today that was called, Anti-Muslim is Anti-American.
00:11:57.000That seems to me to be perfectly pro-American.
00:11:58.000In fact, it's un-American to suggest that America doesn't have its own discrete set of values that can be in conflict with any other values.
00:12:05.000Or the idea that America's values mean that we have to let in everybody of every other value system and treat it as though those value systems are equal.
00:12:14.000American exceptionalism is based on the idea there's something unique about the United States, there's something unique that the West has to offer for all of us, and that's going to exclude some people.
00:12:23.000And it's going to exclude some ideologies.
00:12:25.000That doesn't mean every Muslim has to be excluded.
00:12:27.000It doesn't mean that we have to make practice of Islam illegal.
00:12:31.000What it does mean is that there are certain things about radical Islam and certain aspects of radical Islam, which doesn't just mean terrorists.
00:12:40.000That means an ideology that are profoundly un-American.
00:12:45.000The basic idea of equality between the sexes, if Islam is in conflict with that, that's un-American.
00:12:50.000I think even secularists would agree with me.
00:12:53.000There are certain things about radical Islam that are not in consonance with basic American values, and that's okay.
00:13:01.000That just means that you shouldn't be here.
00:13:03.000I mean, the fact is that there are certain American values that come first, and there are people of every religion who can embrace these universal values.
00:13:09.000You can fit your lifestyle and your religion within this broad rubric of American values, but if you can't,
00:13:15.000If your religion doesn't allow you to do that, it's not Islamophobic to say, maybe your religion doesn't allow you to do that, if your religion doesn't allow you to do that.
00:13:22.000And not all forms of Islam are created equal.
00:13:26.000What seems weird to me is that the left's insistence that all Muslims are the same, all forms of Islam are the same, all forms of religion are the same, all forms of ideology and philosophy are the same, that means that nothing has any meaning.
00:13:38.000Nothing has any meaning, which is of course what the left truly believes.
00:14:55.000Okay, the idea that we're never at war with religion?
00:14:58.000It depends what the religion is and what the religion does.
00:15:00.000And that's not to say we should be at war with all of Islam, but we are certainly at war with a great bulk of Muslims who believe in a version of Islam that is completely incompatible with Western values.
00:15:11.000If you're not willing to even draw a distinction between certain philosophies, how do you expect to defend those philosophies?
00:15:18.000They don't want to defend these philosophies.
00:15:20.000They don't want to defend these values.
00:15:22.000They want to pretend that our values and our philosophies don't exist.
00:15:25.000In fact, what they really want to just boil down Americanism to is we tolerate anything.
00:15:30.000Anything except the right, of course, or Christianity.
00:15:33.000Pretty much anything except for original values in the United States, the left is fine with.
00:15:37.000Joe Biden said, what we really can't do here, what we have to be careful of, is that we can't undermine our values of openness and tolerance.
00:15:44.000Here is Joe Biden, the vice president of the United States, sounding the same note that you've heard now from Barack Obama and John Kerry and the rest of the administration.
00:16:30.000Okay, the idea that we win by letting in vast swathes of Syrian refugees, which is what he's talking about here, without vetting them, that this is how we win, that what really pisses off ISIS, what means that ISIS will in the end be defeated, is if we're open and tolerant.
00:16:49.000The left likes to preach about openness and tolerance, but the truth is, when you want to talk about people who are against American values, who are truly un-American, if you want to talk about people who are truly un-American, you have to look at the left.
00:17:02.000As you know, folks, I spent last week flying to Mizzou.
00:17:04.000That's why we didn't have a Thursday podcast, is because I was flying to University of Missouri to do a pretty well-received speech there.
00:17:11.000There were 52,000 people watching it live.
00:17:12.000It has nearly half a million views as of the time of this broadcast.
00:17:17.000And I have to say that what I was fighting there were un-American values.
00:17:54.000And they're convincing young people of this.
00:17:56.000If you truly want to worry about what, you know, first of all, I don't agree with this basic logic of we have to do whatever ISIS wouldn't want us to do, right?
00:18:04.000ISIS, we're supposed to dictate our own action by trying to avoid what ISIS wants.
00:18:10.000Right, but one thing I can guarantee you ISIS doesn't want us to do is beat the living hell out of them and also prevent them from establishing enclaves in the West so that they can recruit people.
00:18:18.000Because without Muslim enclaves in the West, they couldn't have done what they did in Paris, for example.
00:18:21.000These people were hiding in a Muslim enclave in Paris.
00:18:24.000Okay, the truth is that no one is calling for Muslims to be banned from Western civilization, but the idea that ISIS, what they desperately want is for Muslims to be banned from Western civilization is so nonsensical.
00:18:47.000She tweeted out, quote, Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported.
00:18:53.000Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported.
00:18:57.000First of all, the utter irony of Hillary Clinton talking about hearing and believing and supporting survivors of sexual assault
00:19:06.000I mean, that in and of itself, the irony is just stunning, right?
00:19:09.000I mean, Juanita Broderick, Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones, Hillary Clinton personally targeted all of these women, right?
00:19:16.000Hillary Clinton, we have her on tape laughing about the rape of a 12-year-old girl because she was defending the guy who was accused of the rape, and she laughed about it on tape, right?
00:19:46.000Two basic principles of American civilization, fundamental Western principles.
00:19:50.000Innocence under law until there's actual proof, right?
00:19:54.000In this one, Hillary Clinton is fighting.
00:19:56.000There's certain crimes for which the left never has to prove the crime.
00:20:00.000If they call you a racist without evidence, that's just a crime in and of itself, we should believe you.
00:20:05.000When it comes to sexual assault, if you just make the accusation, we're supposed to believe you without evidence.
00:20:10.000Okay, that's actually a fundamentally un-American idea.
00:20:12.000We're supposed to believe you once you show us the evidence.
00:20:15.000We're not supposed to just agree that what you say is true and then throw somebody in prison based on hearsay.
00:20:22.000This is why rape cases are so hard to prosecute.
00:20:24.000It's the tragedy of rape cases that they're so hard to prosecute in many cases because it turns into a he-said-she-said scenario sometimes.
00:20:32.000But by the same standard, it would be a lot worse if anytime anybody accused anybody of anything, there were no evidence, we just tossed you into jail.
00:20:38.000But Hillary Clinton is actually stumping for that because politically speaking, it is advantageous for her to suggest to women that they are being regularly raped and that there are people ignoring them on the basis of this.
00:20:49.000And we know, we know that there have been an increasing number of high-profile fake rapes that have happened across the United States.
00:20:55.000University of Virginia, there was an accusation by a girl in Rolling Stone front cover story that she had been gang raped at a frat house.
00:21:03.000No evidence to back it up, didn't matter.
00:21:05.000There was a massive scandal and it turned out that the frat was basically shut down for a long time.
00:21:11.000Only later it turned out it was all nonsense.
00:21:12.000Mattress Girl over at Columbia University, she was running around saying that she had been raped.
00:21:23.000So the point here is that when it comes to the left and un-American, you know, they can talk about undermining American ideals by not being welcoming of Syrian refugees, but the left is creating its own anti-America.
00:21:34.000And its own anti-America is a place where anything they deem to be a crime, regardless of evidence,
00:21:39.000is something that has to be punished by the authorities, which is the nature of fascism.
00:21:43.000When there's no evidence that needs to be presented, that's the nature of fascism.
00:21:46.000And you want to talk about more about the nature of fascism, listen to this poll.
00:21:50.000This is a poll that came out from Pew Research today.
00:22:20.00012% of members of the so-called silent generation, those people 70 to 87, believe this.
00:22:26.00035% of Democrats, 35%, right, more than one in three Democrats believe the government should prosecute you if you make statements offensive to minorities.
00:22:34.000And this also breaks down along racial lines.
00:22:36.000For non-whites in America, nearly 40% say you should be able to prosecute someone for saying something offensive to me.
00:22:44.000And here's what's amazing about all of this, is that of all those subgroups, millennials win.
00:23:07.000That seems to me significantly more un-American than oppressive, than so-called non-openness and non-tolerance that are being preached by Joe Biden.
00:23:21.000And that's how it is at these college campuses now, to the point where, there's an incredible story over at the university, which university is this?
00:23:28.000It's the University of Ottawa in Canada.
00:23:42.000According to the UK Independent, yoga has become the latest victim of political correctness on university campuses after a free class was cancelled because of complaints that the lessons were an unacceptable quote-unquote cultural appropriation of a non-Western practice.
00:23:57.000Jennifer Sharpe is the yoga practitioner.
00:23:59.000She's been offering free weekly sessions to students.
00:24:01.000She says she was shocked to receive an abrupt message telling her the classes were suspended.
00:24:05.000She said, I've been in touch to prepare for the new semester's classes when out of nowhere I received an email telling me there were some issues in terms of a formal complaint.
00:24:14.000The decision was made by the university's independent student body, the Ottawa Student Federation.
00:24:19.000They said, while yoga is really a great idea and accessible and great for students, there are cultural issues of implication involved in the practice.
00:24:26.000Yoga has been under a lot of controversy lately due to how it is being practiced and which cultures those practices are being taken from.
00:24:33.000In other words, it started off in Asian culture and Indian culture, yoga.
00:24:37.000And therefore, people in Canada can't practice yoga.
00:24:44.000These seem to me greater assaults on freedom than me saying that we might want to check your background and your philosophy before you come into the country.
00:24:52.000But again, if you don't believe free speech and innocence until guilt, until proof of guilt, if you don't believe these are Western values, then what do you care who enters the country?
00:25:01.000What do you care what their values are?
00:25:03.000By the way, if we're going to talk about cultural appropriation, let me just suggest that if this is the new standard, that anything that is quote-unquote culturally appropriated, that anytime there's cultural appropriation, we have to ban it.
00:25:13.000So, okay, all you non-white folks out there, all you non-Jewish folks out there, I'd like for you to give up the polio vaccine, computers, your phones, electricity,
00:25:25.000All of these things were created by Europeans or Jews.
00:25:27.000So I think that you should probably give up all those things as cultural appropriation.
00:25:31.000They're very holy to us who actually like Western civilization.
00:25:34.000And anytime you use them, you are stealing what was rightfully ours and pretending that you're us.
00:25:38.000So I think that you should really go back to what you were doing before.
00:25:42.000But this is the standard that the left is creating.
00:25:44.000The reason is because in the end, the left wants to tear down the fundamental pillars of Western civilization, fundamental pillars including freedom of speech, fundamental pillars including innocence until proof of guilt.
00:25:54.000And so, if openness and tolerance include people coming in who hate those other values, then openness and tolerance are not American values.
00:26:03.000Openness and tolerance have their limits.
00:26:27.000Their goal is to say that radical Islam... Radical Islam doesn't allow them to gain power.
00:26:31.000Radical Islam takes power away from them by giving power to people who actually believe we have a civilization worth preserving and defending.
00:26:38.000They believe there is no civilization worth preserving and defending.
00:26:42.000There is just a civilization rooted in racism and xenophobia that has to be torn away so that we can have a more equal world.
00:26:49.000And if you believe that, if you believe that, then why in the world would you be against ISIS?
00:27:01.000They wanna replace it with something different, but the left wants to destroy Western civilization and rip it out by the root in order so they can create this more equal world for themselves.
00:27:10.000ISIS wants to take Western civilization, rip it out by the root because they consider it inherently immoral, and that's where they find common cause here.
00:27:16.000So the left will misdirect us to climate change, and ISIS will misdirect us to Islamophobia,
00:27:22.000And the fact is, there's only one set of values here worth defending, and it's not fighting climate change, and it certainly isn't radical Islam.
00:27:29.000I don't know how many of you watch SNL.
00:27:31.000SNL has just gotten worse and worse in pretty much every way.
00:27:34.000SNL... People keep saying there was a time when SNL was funny.
00:27:38.000It must have predated when I was alive, because...
00:27:41.000As long as I can remember, SNL has been deeply unfunny.
00:27:44.000And you would figure you have a full week to come up with these sketches, and you always hear how it's so difficult to come up with these sketches.
00:27:49.000I suppose it is, if you steadfastly avoid any criticism of the left.
00:27:54.000But I want to show you again how entertainment molds how we think, because SNL is a perfect example of this.
00:28:00.000Saturday Night Live has become an absolute tool of the left.
00:28:04.000Going all the way back to Chevy Chase, who, you know, did this routine where he played off Gerald Ford, probably the most athletic president in American history, who's an All-American linebacker for Michigan.
00:28:13.000They played him off as a dundering idiot who used to bump into things.
00:28:26.000If they'd done this routine with regard to Barack Obama, trying to make him look this dumb, everybody would have said racist, but it's Ben Carson, so it's all right.
00:28:34.000You've said we should carefully screen everyone coming into this country.
00:28:37.000Do you have a plan that would separate Muslims from Christian refugees?
00:28:41.000Well, we did not think Islamists would be simple.
00:28:44.000First, we'd say, you can't come into this country until I see you eat bacon while singing a Christmas carol.
00:28:53.000And first of all, it's a terrible impression.
00:28:54.000First of all, Steven Crowder does a better impression of Ben Carson than this guy does.
00:31:53.000But the part before is the part I want to talk about, right?
00:31:55.000Because the idea is, the whole thing is, oh, they're having this big fight over Thanksgiving.
00:32:00.000Notice the depiction of the people who are supposed to be right-wing here versus the depiction of the people who are supposed to be left-wing here.
00:32:06.000It's a relatively subtle thing, because you're just waiting for them to get to the punchline.
00:32:10.000But there are internal punchlines there.
00:32:12.000The internal punchlines are, you know, the guy saying that every member of the Syrian refugee community is ISIS, and then the crazy fat lady in the video saying that she saw ISIS in the grocery aisle, which is supposed to be mockery of anybody who has any fears about terrorism whatsoever.
00:32:28.000Then you have the tolerant, wonderful liberal there,
00:32:30.000No, oh my god, they want us to keep the refugees, oh my god.
00:32:34.000And the black guy there, who's being victimized by the white woman, who's saying, why are all your people, right?
00:32:39.000Everybody who's right-wing in this video is supposed to be a brutal, backward, redneck jackass, right?
00:32:46.000And the two leftists, they're a charming interracial couple who just can't believe all this intolerance that's going around.
00:32:53.000And then the idea is that Adele civilizes them.
00:32:55.000First of all, there's so much wrong ideologically, even with the comedy, because there's supposed to be truth in comedy.
00:33:00.000It's not funny if it's not true a little bit.
00:33:02.000There's supposed to be truth in comedy, so the idea that Adele unifies any of us, that we all unify around the culture, is absolute horsepucky.
00:33:08.000If that's all that's keeping us together as a country, if Adele is all that's keeping us together as a country, we're toast gang.
00:33:14.000I mean, seriously, we are finished, turn out the lights, goodnight.
00:33:17.000But again, it's the depiction of right versus left in that Thanksgiving fight.
00:33:22.000This is how you can tell that all the writers' rooms are stacked with people who are radically left.
00:33:26.000Because the premise was supposed to be people fighting— I'll bet— This is how it went down in the writers' room.
00:34:02.000There could be no depiction as anything on the left being anything but saintly, and anything on the right being anything but absolute stupidity, ridiculousness.
00:34:10.000This is how the leftists twist the culture.
00:34:13.000And again, it really does come down to this.
00:34:15.000The comedy, I guess that it is true because it's sad,
00:34:18.000And that is, maybe this is all we have become now.
00:34:22.000Maybe all we do have in common is Adele, or football, or the turkey.
00:34:27.000I know that on my Thanksgiving, when we do Thanksgiving in my family, we have to invite extended family.
00:34:33.000And when we invite extended family, a lot of them are leftists.
00:34:38.000And so it always starts off with people, you know, kind of arguing about politics, and then somebody says, okay, let's talk football or sports or something.
00:34:46.000If that's all that's holding the country together because we don't have any founding values in common, we're done.
00:34:51.000Which brings us back to, you know, the main message that President Obama and his team are trying to push, which is, that is the only thing we have in common.
00:34:57.000The only thing we have in common is that we like Adele, and that we watch football, and that we have these cultural touchstones that we share, but
00:35:04.000Any attempt to discriminate between values is Islamophobia or bigotry.
00:35:09.000If you believe that, you truly are an American.
