00:00:00.000 Radical Islam is on the march.
00:00:01.000 Europe has been dealing with the consequences for decades.
00:00:04.000 Now look at America.
00:00:05.000 Our college campuses are consumed by globalized the Intifada protests.
00:00:09.000 Mahmoud Khalil, one of the most prominent figures from Colombia's protest movement, is now suing the university over its treatment of pro-Palestinian activists.
00:00:16.000 In Pennsylvania, the FBI just arrested Jonathan Hunter Kramer, who pledged allegiance to ISIS and obtained a semi-automatic rifle and ammo for what he called his mission, you know, to do jihad.
00:00:25.000 And these fights are moving from the streets and campuses into American politics.
00:00:29.000 A radical whose imam's funeral prayer For a Hamas terrorist is now public.
00:00:33.000 That guy is neck and neck for a Senate seat in Michigan.
00:00:36.000 In New York, the mayor has built an influencer operation that includes figures who celebrate assassinations and call for poisoning federal agents.
00:00:42.000 This is why we made our brand new film, Run, Hide, Fight, Infidels.
00:00:45.000 The movie is fiction.
00:00:46.000 Unfortunately, the enemy is very real.
00:00:48.000 It's part Red Dawn, part Blazing Saddles, a fun, unapologetic action movie where the good guys are good and the bad guys are bad, and no one is afraid to say which is which.
00:00:56.000 The Islamification of the United States is happening all around us.
00:00:59.000 Today, we'll show you the real life version.
00:01:01.000 This is the Ben Shapiro Show.
00:01:08.000 So it's finally here.
00:01:09.000 We are very pumped about this.
00:01:10.000 We've been telling you about this for months and weeks, and now it is finally here.
00:01:14.000 The movie the left does not want you to see.
00:01:16.000 They're calling it Islamophobic.
00:01:18.000 Just ask Madi Hassan and CARE and MPAC and ISNA and all the other Muslim Brotherhood associated allegedly groups.
00:01:26.000 They're canceling screenings at theaters because the film is too controversial.
00:01:29.000 They're even tearing down posters for Run, Hide, Fight infidels in New York City.
00:01:32.000 You can see this happening.
00:01:33.000 We actually.
00:01:34.000 Saw around town in New York, we put up some posters and people were immediately tearing them down, obviously.
00:01:41.000 Well, in case you missed it, we have made the hottest movie of the fall.
00:01:43.000 It is a blast, it kicks ass, and has something fairly serious to say about the nature of the threat of Islam.
00:01:49.000 Here is the trailer.
00:01:51.000 Every significant movement in history has started with protesting.
00:01:53.000 You're a traitor!
00:01:54.000 Uncle Tom!
00:01:55.000 This is our generation's civil rights!
00:01:56.000 I have no idea what the protest is about.
00:01:59.000 Bingo!
00:01:59.000 Given the current climate, should a figure as polarizing as Clay Saunders even be allowed on campus?
00:02:05.000 Ah, can you hear me okay?
00:02:06.000 Saunders is a close personal friend of Chancellor.
00:02:08.000 Freeman, this is a decision I cannot fight.
00:02:10.000 Islam will conquer the West.
00:02:13.000 Assalamualaikum.
00:02:14.000 Are we paying attention?
00:02:19.000 They've taken over the building.
00:02:20.000 They're downstairs and they've blocked the doors.
00:02:23.000 I seek forgiveness from Allah the Almighty.
00:02:27.000 We cannot run and hide.
00:02:29.000 Muhammad is the messenger of God.
00:02:33.000 There is no God but Allah.
00:02:36.000 What do you say?
00:02:37.000 Return those SOBs.
00:02:40.000 Into a fine red mist.
00:02:42.000 As we move, one man will cover while the other guys go.
00:02:45.000 They call that leapfrog.
00:02:46.000 Stretch them out and listen.
00:02:49.000 You need a course in safe weapons handling.

00:04:24.000 Because again, our civilization is at risk.
00:04:26.000 And if we don't fight on every front, including entertainment, because culture is upstream of politics, we're going to lose.
00:04:31.000 Ain't nobody else doing it.
00:04:32.000 So we will with your help.
00:04:33.000 So, why is that important?
00:04:34.000 Because if people don't understand the threat on a visceral level, they cave to it.
00:04:38.000 And this is how we get ISIS members on our soil.
00:04:41.000 So, yesterday, NBC News reported that there was a full scale terror attack that was thwarted in Butler County.
00:04:47.000 Not sure what the hell is going on in Butler County, Pennsylvania.
00:04:50.000 According to NBC News, a Pennsylvania man named Jonathan Hunter Kramer was arrested on Sunday after agents descended on a hotel room in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania.
00:04:59.000 He was charged with receiving a firearm with the intention to be used in a felony or act of terrorism.
00:05:04.000 In a criminal complaint and probable cause affidavit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, federal prosecutors allege that Kramer, using a Telegram username, shoot into a crowd, posted threatening statements alluding to an unidentified act to occur within three months, as well as documents on how to make explosives, C4, and car bombs.
00:05:21.000 So this person's home was searched, and a laptop was found with a recording of Kramer reciting a pledge of allegiance to ISIS.
00:05:28.000 Kramer also allegedly had an online alias, Hamza al Rashid, where he brainstormed methods of violence against the Kufar.
00:05:34.000 Kufar is infidels.
00:05:35.000 As well as tools that can be useful to remain anonymous, according to the complaint.
00:05:39.000 Kramer's alleged planning document highlighted poisonings, large trucks, and firearms as methods to increase your jihad's destruction.
00:05:47.000 Jihad is not merely a term of art here.
00:05:50.000 Apparently, he promoted distracting emergency services as a strategy for carrying out an attack.
00:05:55.000 He allegedly wrote to the online community on May 26th I might be able to carry out an operation soon against the Kufar.
00:06:00.000 Please pray for my success, brothers.
00:06:03.000 During the arrest, federal investigators seized a Panther Arms semi automatic rifle, over 150 rounds of ammo.
00:06:08.000 Two loaded rifle magazines, a rifle bipod and scope, a prayer rug, and pepper spray, among other materials.
00:06:15.000 So, got the terror suspects in Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:06:18.000 And of course, we have terror supporters running for the Senate and possibly winning in Michigan.
00:06:22.000 Abdullah Sayed, an Islamist America hater who simply poses as a socialist America hater, he is locked right now in a neck and neck struggle with Mike Rogers.
00:06:31.000 He's got all the worst people behind him, obviously, Hassan Piker and some on the Horseshoe Right.
00:06:36.000 There's a reason for that.
00:06:37.000 Everyone who hates America as it currently is, likes Abdul El Sayed.
00:06:42.000 But who is Abdul El Sayed?
00:06:44.000 Well, everyday new information appears reinforcing what we already knew is a radical Muslim apologist who despises the country.
00:06:51.000 In a moment, we will get to people in the United States who are very much on the side of the jihadists.
00:06:54.000 That includes a Senate candidate for the Democrats over in Michigan.
00:06:58.000 First monthly bills start at a reasonable price sometimes, and then they grow because you're not watching, because you're not actually keeping your eye on the thing.
00:07:05.000 Wireless companies have basically perfected this model.
00:07:07.000 You pay more.
00:07:08.000 The plan becomes more complicated.
00:07:09.000 Somehow the coverage still isn't any better.
00:07:11.000 People use their phones all day for calls, texts, videos, photos, streaming, meetings, unlimited data.
00:07:15.000 PureTalk handles it all with incredible coverage.
00:07:18.000 And there's real evidence behind that.
00:07:19.000 In a recent industry survey of more than 120,000 wireless customers, PureTalk was the only wireless company in the country to receive five out of five stars in every category.
00:07:28.000 Coverage, support, value, and data.

00:07:58.000 Fantasy football season is underway.
00:07:59.000 That means millions of Americans are spending hours in front of the TV, studying and memorizing the game stats of athletes they've never met.
00:08:06.000 People treat setting their weekly fantasy lineup like it's a matter of national importance, checking the updates, preparing the possibilities, reacting to an injury report as though it came directly from the Pentagon.
00:08:14.000 Planning for contingencies is very important.
00:08:16.000 Well, that should matter even more when we're talking about the ultimate contingency.

00:09:00.000 According to Fox News, We are now learning that he was the leader of a protest against three ex-terrorists who spoke at the University of Michigan in 2007.
00:09:09.000 The protest, chronicled by the Michigan Daily, was against three speakers, Walid Shubat, Zachariah Anani, and Kamal Salim, self-described former terrorists who were making the rounds during the mid-2000s to discuss their lives in the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Muslim Brotherhood before they converted to Christianity.
00:09:25.000 Students attending the talk stage at a walkout, Elsa had cheered it afterward.
00:09:28.000 He said, We've done something good today and we need to keep that going in the future.
00:09:30.000 At the time, he was the VP of the Muslim Students Association, which is alleged With pretty substantial evidence to have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, which again is described by a wide variety of regimes, including the UAE, as a terrorist organization.
00:09:45.000 And of course, just as Jeremiah Wright presided over Barack Obama's church, and that gave you a window into what he thinks, El Sayed's Imam literally delivered a funeral prayer for Ismail Khania in August of 2024.
00:10:00.000 Ismail Khania was the leader of Hamas killed by Mossad in 2024 in Tehran, in Iran.
00:10:08.000 Here is El Sayed's Imam delivering an oration on behalf of the terror leader of Hamas.
00:10:15.000 And El Sayed is currently, possibly, the frontrunner for Senate in Michigan.
00:10:18.000 So he could have like a full scale Islamic terror supporter as a senator in Michigan just because he says Medicare for All a lot.
00:10:25.000 Here is the Imam for El Sayed.
00:10:28.000 He is a symbol of jihad, a symbol of struggle, a symbol of patriotism, and a symbol of devotion.
00:10:36.000 No one loves him except someone who loves God and his messenger.
00:10:39.000 And no one hates him except an enemy of Islam.
00:10:42.000 This man is a righteous man, one of the righteous.
00:10:44.000 This man is Malchiniya, lost almost 100 members of his family.
00:10:49.000 Some people they said 40, some people said 100, Allah knows the best.
00:10:52.000 But he lost his kids and his grandchildren and his sister and her children.
00:10:59.000 And they killed all of his family.
00:11:02.000 And this man was a negotiator.
00:11:07.000 He did not involve anything except he just wanted liberation for his people.
00:11:13.000 He wanted to liberate Palestine, his land and his homeland.
00:11:17.000 He saw nothing more than that.
00:11:18.000 This is a full scale offense by the actual imam for Abdul Al Sayyid of an Islamic terror leader named Ismail Khaniyah.
00:11:28.000 Again, the leader of Hamas.
00:11:30.000 Abdul Al Sayyid could become a senator for Michigan because people are either stupid or ignorant, don't understand the threat or refuse to see it.
00:11:37.000 Or they just hate America enough that they're willing to side with pretty much anybody.
00:11:41.000 One of the great ironies of history is that the Islamic revolution of Iran in 1979 Began as an Islamic leftist revolution.
00:11:48.000 It was communists plus Islamists overthrowing the Shah.
00:11:51.000 And then, of course, the radical Muslims took over and shot all the communists.
00:11:55.000 It's not just about Abdul El Syed.
00:11:57.000 Zarn Mamdani, a terrorist supporter, is mayor of New York.
00:12:00.000 The new Congress that comes in next year will almost certainly include jihadi supporters ranging from Terrializa Chevalier in New York, who said she wanted to wipe her hands on the American flag, to Milat Kirosh in Colorado, who said it was not anti Semitic to firebomb Jews protesting Hamas, to Adam Hamali in New Jersey, an actual translator for an actual Muslim terrorist who actually tried to bomb the World Trade Center, and also an alleged member of an Al Qaeda front group doing fake charitable work in Bosnia.
00:12:24.000 Those three will be in Congress in all likelihood come January.
00:12:27.000 And it's getting worse from here, not better.
00:12:30.000 And the useful idiots on the left are idioting.
00:12:32.000 One of the themes of Run, Hide, Fight, Infidels, our brand new movie, it could have been called Useful Idiots because, again, the people who are used by the Muslim terrorists are the left wingers who are willing to usher them onto campus in the belief that they are all fighting against the same system together.
00:12:47.000 It doesn't quite go that way for our leftist friends in Run, Hide, Fight, Infidels.
00:12:53.000 And if you take a look at the influencers who've been boosting Zorhan Mamdani's administration, according to Manhattan Institute Adams Lahodi, doing reporting.
00:13:02.000 Some of these folks are just radical leftists.
00:13:06.000 Christina Brown, who goes by Miss X Tinab on Instagram, celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
00:13:12.000 She says violence was an answer, suggested that ICE agents should be poisoned, and told her 282,000 followers, I don't love this country.
00:13:19.000 I hate it so much, I want to see it fall.
00:13:21.000 She has described Christianity as a religion of white supremacy whose pastors are, quote, covered in the blood of enslaved people.
00:13:28.000 Christina Brown also says that the Phrase, globalized the Intifada is not anti Semitic.
00:13:35.000 Ench says violence wasn't the answer.
00:13:37.000 What do you mean?
00:13:37.000 Violence was the equation.
00:13:39.000 Or maybe other influencers like Megan Kilnk, who runs Pretty Informed Girls, told her 223,000 followers, America has mass concentration camps and there is no reforming in effing Gestapo, referring to ICE.
00:13:52.000 Some of the other influencers on behalf of Zarn Mamdani include Cassie Wilson, who has posted several videos with the mayor, including a video she made back in February in which she shouted, Free Palestine, F Donald Trump, billionaires shouldn't exist, F fascism, no war, but class war.
00:14:09.000 One satirical video Wilson made in collaboration with another influencer has her saying, You've got to unalive your girlfriend for working for ICE.
00:14:19.000 The radical left, the Islamic radicals, they hold hands.
00:14:24.000 This includes Emma Vigiland, who's a radical leftist.
00:14:27.000 She says, Hezbollah is currently the only viable alternative to a collaborationist, corrupt Lebanese state that is unable to present a military challenge to Israel by design.
00:14:36.000 So, again, just standing for Hezbollah.
00:14:39.000 And there are lots of ways to fight back against this insanity, the red-green alliance.
00:14:43.000 One of the best ways is you can support us in fighting that fight with the entertainment that you want to see and that others in America want to see.
00:14:48.000 It's fun, by the way.
