Ridvan Idemir (AKA The Apostate Prophet) and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick (Ridwan) discuss the Islamification of the United States of America, and the threat to kill apostates who leave Islam.
00:00:56.000The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
00:02:08.000I think you chose your name sort of prophetically here because you are like one calling out in the wilderness, warning people about a conquering ideology of Islam.
00:02:27.000Our audience knows this, but we have to keep repeating it.
00:02:30.000Yeah, so the name is actually a very important thing.
00:02:32.000So I chose apostate prophet very specifically because apostasy in Islam, so leaving Islam is something that is explicitly and clearly punishable by death.
00:02:44.000It is punished by death according to traditional Islamic jurisprudence.
00:02:47.000And the majority of Muslims around the world today support the idea actually that if you leave Islam and you publicly speak about it, you publicly express that you have left Islam, you ought to be somehow punished.
00:02:59.000And traditionally, you are supposed to be put to death.
00:03:02.000So this is not just a religion like any other religion where your faith is simply between you and God or you and the divine.
00:03:08.000It is one that is a political system where leaving it is considered treason.
00:03:14.000It is considered betrayal in a political and very serious sense, in a military sense.
00:03:18.000And so such a religion naturally will not only be hostile against its own apostates, but also against those that do not align with its values, those who stand against it with systems that are incompatible with its own values.
00:03:36.000And Charlie very often pointed out, and you can find this in many speeches and many tweets, that he made that Islam is incompatible with the West.
00:03:45.000So he pointed this out very, very clearly.
00:04:10.000What I learned and what, and it's not just what I learned, but I learned, for example, that when I was in Germany.
00:04:19.000It was our duty to be part of the society in a sense, but to never really integrate into society.
00:04:26.000Because the Quran says very explicitly and repeatedly, do not befriend the Jews and the Christians.
00:04:33.000They are friends of one another, and whoever befriends them, he is one of them.
00:04:38.000They are supposed to be enemies of Allah.
00:04:41.000Muslims are, according to chapter 9, verse 29 and 30 of the Quran, subjugate and humiliate the Jews and the Christians and take protection money called jizya from them, like the mafia.
00:04:54.000So that is the status that Muslims are supposed to have over them because they are supposed to be only slaves of and servants of Allah.
00:05:02.000And all other religions are supposed to be made subject to Islam, if not when the time and opportunity arises, eradicated in favor of Islam.
00:05:18.000That is the core of how Islam views politics and interfaith interactions.
00:05:26.000Yeah, Ridvan, I would talk to Charlie about this a lot, of course.
00:05:29.000And I think that's a key point that's worth expanding on and emphasizing that Islam really does, much more than Christianity, for example, have a vision for itself as a totalized, it offers much more explicit guidance.
00:05:44.000How do you set up a political organization that is dominated by Islam?
00:05:47.000How do you live with other faiths specifically by dominating them?
00:05:52.000And it's not, you know, as you say, jizya, there's a special tax you're supposed to pay if you're not a Muslim.
00:05:57.000There's, I believe, in most, I'm not sure if this is in the hadiths or so on, but I know that in many Muslim countries, they would have rules.
00:06:10.000And even today, in countries that aren't even particularly extremist on Islam in other ways, they still, they make it, for example, very easy to convert to Islam, but impossible to convert out of Islam.
00:06:24.000And that can be weaponized in a lot of ways.
00:06:25.000I know there have been issues where, for example, Christian women have essentially been abducted and kind of forcibly converted, or they're told they can't unconvert once some sort of process has been gone through.
00:06:43.000It is endless, especially in countries like Egypt.
00:06:46.000Despite Egypt supposedly making steps toward modernizing and westernizing and collaborating more and all that, it is still a very everyday thing that the Coptic Christian community in Egypt is very much very much subjected to the violations by the Islamic communities.
00:07:06.000And so, I mean, everyone, every Coptic Christian in Egypt knows of somebody or knows somebody who was at some point abducted by Muslims and made to forcibly convert or stopped in the process.
00:07:21.000In Pakistan, it is very, very much known that the Christian community is very much silenced and they are in fear.
00:07:30.000In Muslim countries in general, Christians are brutally mistreated and suppressed.
00:07:36.000We have statistics on this that come out every single year by Open Doors, which is a Christian organization, which keeps a list of countries in the world where there is the highest level of suppression of Christians.
00:07:50.000The top 50 of the top 50 countries where Christians are most suppressed in the world, the majority, probably 40 or more, are usually Muslim countries.
00:08:01.000It is very much part of Islam to be dominant and to suppress the other.
00:08:07.000And Christians are specifically considered a threat.
00:08:11.000With other religions and with other groups, they can often do kind of whatever they want to them.
00:08:17.000But with Christians, Christians are considered the strongest and largest religion.
00:08:22.000And there is a historical aspect to it as well of the clash between Islam and Christianity.
00:08:26.000So Christianity is considered an actually actual formidable enemy, an opponent.
00:08:31.000So with Christians, the Muslim society is generally specifically careful to put them in their place and subjugate them as much as possible while keeping a public profile of, hey, we are just friends, you know, we are good with each other and all that.
00:08:44.000So the tragic thing is that I spoke to a Coptic Christian organization once a while ago.
00:08:52.000They specifically asked me, when I asked them if I could publicly do something for them, they asked me to please not publicly speak of them, of that organization in general, because if the public associates me with them, with my anti-Islamic stance and all that, they could be severely persecuted and the Islamic communities in Egypt could take revenge basically on them.
00:09:16.000So they are in fear constantly for their lives.
00:09:19.000And you have correctly pointed out that, so in the Hadith, Muhammad did very often say that he came to fight the people until everybody becomes a Muslim.
00:09:30.000He did curse the Jews and the Christians, often mentioning the two of them together, and often pointed out that Muslims should not dress like them and that they should dominate the Jews and the Christians.
00:09:44.000So it became Islamic law basically early on.
00:09:49.000It's called the Dhimmi system, that when Muslims conquer neighboring countries, as they always should, and subjugate the Jews and the Christians and make them their subjects and take protection money, it is their duty to basically impose dress codes so that all Christians are supposed to dress a certain way.
00:10:09.000All Jews are supposed to dress a certain way.
00:10:10.000They are supposed to wear things on their necks, like a golden calf or a very heavy cross, but they're not supposed to worship in public.
00:10:29.000Ridvan, you know, it just strikes me that you've got, I mean, I remember that a few years back, there was all this news about the Coptic Christians.
00:10:37.000You reminded me of it getting just massacred in Egypt, just killed, their churches getting bombed.
00:10:42.000ISIS killed like, I think, two dozen of them or so fishermen during like Libya.
00:10:48.000And you've got the whole Syrian situation where Christians are getting persecuted.
00:10:52.000And you've got Lebanon that used to be majority Christian and now it's, you know, it's slowly becoming less and less and less Christian.
00:11:11.000I mean, it just seems like time and time again, Muslims have proven to be exactly what you are describing them to be, a conquering religion that believes it's a political ideology that wants to conquer Christians.
00:11:24.000So if the West is losing its backbone, Muslims are not.
00:11:29.000Islam supremacy is actually, you know, that is mainstream, right?
00:11:35.000And meanwhile, the West is flirting with multiculturalism and thinks that it needs to be so inviting to outside cultures.
00:11:42.000And I'm going to sort of preface this because everybody's heard of Epic City now.
00:11:48.000I think we've done a good job of highlighting that.
00:11:50.000It's, I think, you know, somewhat getting shut down.
00:11:54.000I'm hearing conflicting reports in Texas.
00:11:56.000But there's another project that we were just alerted to in Phoenix or in the greater Phoenix area here in Arizona called Cutter City, Qatar City.
00:12:20.000And, you know, why it struck me is because we see this image of Katie Hobbs, the governor of the state of Arizona, meeting with the general of the state of Qatar in Los Angeles, 369 there.
00:12:34.000And I'm thinking, hmm, this is a 6,000-acre project that has at least been proposed.
00:12:53.00010 square miles to build something called Qatar City.
00:12:58.000And I'm sure that the PR folks were going to change the name at some point because that was not a good starting point.
00:13:05.000But this is like really disturbing that somebody put all this time and energy into building a proposal so that they could sort of impose some sort of Islamic neighborhood in Arizona.
00:13:18.000Are they just going to slowly move in, build up these little outposts, outbreed us, and then take over mayor's races until they gain sort of a critical mass of power?
00:13:30.000I mean, you could speculate about it all day long.
00:13:34.000The thing is, there are certain people who have actually spoken about this, certain Muslim voices, such as one person to pay attention to very closely is Dr. Yasserqadi, who is a recognized Islamic scholar.
00:13:50.000He has spoken about how this is a fantastic project, Epic City, for example, and more like this should come, according to him, to more and more strengthen the power and the presence of Islam in America and to slowly have more and more political influence in America, to have more political impact in America.
00:14:11.000And the thing is, if this was just a regular community, if this was just a peaceful, nice religion that just wants to live its own way and had no trouble where it goes and had no ideas of imposing itself on the rest of the world and subjugating the rest of the world, all of this would not be a problem.
00:14:32.000Maybe you could welcome a little society that just has kind of quirky beliefs and all that.
00:14:37.000But Yasser Qadi, for example, who has been a spokesperson, a speaker for Epic City, and who kind of also ironically helped blow this up and caused a scandal through that.
00:14:53.000He is somebody who clearly believes, for example, that free speech should be limited, that even in America, in Western countries or wherever Islam has more and more of a hold, people should vote for Muslims, no matter how devout, how traditional or how secular they are, so that we can increase the Islamic influence and we can start demanding or making demands that are in line with Islam, such as respecting Islam,
00:15:22.000restricting apostasy laws and things like that.
00:15:24.000So an increase in demographics and a concentrated community would lead naturally to a strengthened political presence in that region, which would lead to electing Muslims in that region.
00:15:40.000And that is a starting point for them.
00:16:50.000You're describing a form of Islam I think that a lot of people think of as this jihadis and, you know, but it's, but then you have, you know, Mamdani.
00:17:00.000If you were writing a New York Times editorial, you're just going to profile Mamdani.
00:17:13.000So Zohran Mamdani is a very, very interesting case because if he was a politician in a Muslim country, he would be heavily disliked by the traditional Muslim voting bloc, by the traditional Islamic people, because he's very much a leftist.
00:17:32.000But things change once you leave the Muslim countries and go into the West, for example, where you have to play things differently.
00:17:42.000In the UK, the Islamist or Muslim and Islamist forces are very much present in two major parties, which are the socialist Labour Party and the very, very much far-leftist Green Party.
00:17:57.000Such parties would be unacceptable among traditional Islamic groups in the Muslim world.
00:18:03.000But in the West, they have to kind of go with these parties to push more inclusivist, subversive, and pro-Islamic politics and policies.
00:18:14.000So Rhan Mamdani, therefore, when he is a progressive socialist leftist, is a perfect tool to do the exact same thing.
00:18:23.000Now, I would not say that Zohran Mamdani himself is very much an Islamist, but he very much fits into this whole game that also, by the way, led to tragic consequences in Iran.
00:18:37.000Iran, as we see today, is ruled by a tyrannical Islamic regime that 80% of the population or more absolutely hates.
00:18:45.000And this tyrannic regime overthrew the monarchy and put itself at the top through the help of leftist, socialist, and communists.
00:18:57.000When you have a society where conservative, non-Islamic traditions have a hold, the best way to subvert it is to use progressivist, leftist, socialist movements and through them, slowly infiltrate, overthrow the system, and then establish your Islamic values because it is the easiest way.
00:19:18.000Well, and so, yeah, I mean, that makes a ton of sense.
00:19:22.000It will go through the path of least resistance to get inside the rock, freeze it, and shatter it, right?
00:19:28.000So it makes sense that this is the route they would take in liberal Western democracies.
00:19:34.000So I only got one minute left here, Ridvon, but, you know, Caroline Levitt's doing a press conference right now about, and she's talking about Iran.
00:19:44.000Do we have any idea how many people have really been killed by the regime there?
00:19:48.000And what do you think the next step should be?
00:20:18.000They sense that this thing is getting very serious and they will lose grip over the government, over the Islamic regime.
00:20:24.000And what the Islamic regime under Khamenei, the supreme leader, the Shia leader, thinks is no matter how many people die, no matter how many people are killed, the individuals are not more important than the Islamic regime, than our ideology.
00:20:40.000So if we have to do it, we will massacre tens of thousands of people to uphold this.
00:20:50.000Without further ado, I'm very honored to have our next guest on the show, and that is, of course, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick from the great state of Texas.
00:20:59.000And we have you here, sir, because, well, for a variety of reasons, but you have made a tremendous down payment.
00:21:22.000And second of all, please share with our audience what inspired you to do that.
00:21:26.000Well, first of all, I want to challenge every elected official out there who has money in their campaign account that they'll never spend on a campaign.
00:21:34.000They would probably give it to some other nonprofit to consider making, even if it's $25,000, whatever it is.
00:21:42.000Campaigns are big in Texas, so we raise more money.
00:21:44.000I understand not everyone has a million in their campaign account.
00:21:46.000But this should be a challenge for every God-loving, God-fearing elected official out there to support a Club America campus on all of their high schools in their state.
00:21:58.000And that's why we want to do it in Texas.
00:22:00.000We want to have a chapter on every campus in Texas.
00:22:05.000And I knew Charlie in the early days when he was first getting started.
00:22:10.000He came to Texas a lot to raise money.
00:22:21.000Yeah, that was our last event we did together.
00:22:25.000But in those early days, Texas has a lot of faithful people, a lot of conservatives, and a lot of money.
00:22:30.000And so he would raise money there, and we got to know each other.
00:22:32.000Long story short, at the inauguration in January of 17, I was going to the Trump Hotel, and Charlie happened to be walking in the door at the same time, held the door for me.
00:22:43.000And he said, Dan, I've got something I want to share with you.
00:22:59.000And so when I was on the phone with your team after that terrible day, talking about I want to get a chapter on every campus in Texas, it just came to me, Lord put it on my heart, pay it forward.
00:23:13.000You know, he gave his life for what he believed.
00:23:15.000So writing a check for a million dollars out of my campaign is the least I could do for that young man who sat on that couch and shared his dream and made it happen.
00:23:28.000And I chair, the president appointed me to be chair of the Religious Liberty Commission, and we'll report to the president later this year on our recommendations to restore religious liberty because the last administration attacked people of faith, of all faiths.
00:23:43.000And I just, you know, I think about where we are in this nation.
00:23:50.000It's not a battle, guys, of Republicans and Democrats.
00:23:55.000And what we're seeing across our country is darkness.
00:23:59.000And there's a movement in this country that wants to remove God from our country.
00:24:04.000I don't mind saying it because it's true.
00:24:07.000And those of us who are believers, again, in all denominations, all faiths, those of us who believe have to stand up and fight for that belief or we'll lose this country.
00:24:17.000You cannot change a country unless you change the culture of that country.
00:24:21.000And you can only change the culture by changing the character of the country.
00:24:24.000And you can only change the character by changing the heart of individuals.
00:24:27.000And you can only do that through faith.
00:24:29.000For me, as a Christian, through Jesus.
00:24:41.000Because the other side does not want that.
00:24:43.000The totalitarian governments who want to take this country down, the first thing they have to do in any country is to destroy God, destroy civil law and order, to disrupt families by having boys play girls' sports and make us fight about it over and over and over.
00:24:56.000This is a battle of darkness and light.
00:24:58.000In the book of Jude, right before Revelations, two words in the Bible I really always remember that I love.
00:25:04.000Jude said, we have to contend earnestly.
00:25:07.000Today we'd say, fight for what you believe.
00:25:22.000I love you saying Charlie sits you down and he explains his vision to you because I think so many people had that experience the first time you meet Charlie, and he just, he has that overflowing level of vision, of ambition, and you sit there thinking, is this guy for real?
00:25:42.000I remember when I first started here and he would just say, yeah, Turning Point USA, the most important organization in America.
00:26:19.000Nobody thought they were going to win.
00:26:20.000I don't, you know, it was a miracle, genuinely.
00:26:24.000And then he's in D.C. for this inauguration.
00:26:27.000Most people that are, what was he, 22 at that point, at that age, with all of that that had just happened, would have been probably party in a party.
00:26:36.000And they would have been wasting the time.
00:26:49.000I hadn't heard that story, but what an amazing image.
00:26:54.000Candles were lit on Bondi Beach by families, by children, by people of faith to celebrate a festival of light, a festival from Bible times, one that Jesus himself celebrated.
00:27:05.000People gathered with hope, seeking unity and comfort and tradition.
00:27:08.000But instead of light, there was darkness, violence, fear, hatred showing itself at a time meant for prayer and rejoicing.
00:27:16.000Times like this remind us that even with the ceasefire in Israel, Jewish people are being targeted simply because of their faith.
00:27:23.000And times like this remind us why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews exists, to stand in the gap, providing safety and security to God's people.
00:27:32.000The fellowship brings together Christians and Jews to be a light to suffering Jews in Israel, the former Soviet Union, or wherever the needs are greatest.
00:27:40.000Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those who need hope the most.
00:27:44.000Your gift today will help provide the security that God's people so desperately need.
00:28:17.000And we have a great commission on the Religious Liberty Commission, and Dr. Phil, Dr. Carson, Reverend Graham, Paula White, Timothy Dolan, Robert Barron, some of the great faith leaders and intellect in our country.
00:28:35.000And so Cardinal Dolan, the Cardinal of New York, who's now retiring, he said to me, he called me, he said, Dan, I didn't know who Charlie Kirk was.
00:28:44.000And I saw this memorial and I thought, who is this person?
00:28:47.000And he said, I went back and watched his sermons, in essence, his speeches.
00:28:56.000We have to realize that God's, if we don't think that God's hand is in what has happened, and not that he wanted to see the tragedy that happened to Charlie, you know, God is here to protect us and prosper us.
00:29:12.000And Charlie's life was taken because people feared what he was doing.
00:29:18.000They feared that he was being a voice that they wanted to snuff out.
00:29:22.000And you have to look at President Trump.
00:29:24.000You know, this hatred towards President Trump, they feared him, and that's why they tried to assassinate him.
00:29:30.000Is that you have to understand this leftist movement, this communist movement in this country has been going on for decades, and we've been asleep at the wheel.
00:29:38.000And there's three things you have to take over in a totalitarian government to take over a country.
00:29:43.000Number one is you have to take over the education system.
00:29:46.000Does anyone want to argue that they haven't taken over the education system?
00:29:49.000They saw the walkouts this past few years.
00:30:00.000And then number three, you have to have the Supreme Court.
00:30:03.000And the reason they hate Donald Trump is they can't believe that guy that came down the escalator that day beat Hillary Clinton, who they thought was a shoe-in.
00:30:11.000And the reason they don't like her either is because she lost to him.
00:30:54.000A man does not belong in a lady's room.
00:30:56.000And a young man should not take away the trophy or the chance to be on an Olympic team from a young girl, nor should a man take away a small business loan from a woman who would qualify for it.
00:31:06.000You know, what's going to happen next?
00:31:08.000Is someone who's 40 years old going to say, I'm a trans senior?
00:31:11.000You know, I really believe I'm a senior.
00:31:13.000I want my Social Security benefits now.
00:31:19.000And it's so crazy that we have to pass laws as we have in Texas to stop it.
00:31:25.000But that's what the left wants to do, create chaos, chaos, chaos.
00:31:29.000And this whole plan about illegal immigrants who came mostly across our border in Texas, because we have 1,250 miles of border with Mexico, to put that in comparison, that's Atlanta to Maine, is how big our border was, you know, zigzag, but that many miles.
00:31:42.000Bring millions in, bring millions in, and then when the next president, whoever it is, tries to run them out, we'll just go in the streets and we'll stop it.
00:32:15.000But I know that there are Democrats out there who I know, who are strong in their faith, go to Mass every week or go to church every week, and they just don't see it for what it is.
00:32:28.000Or they have bad theology, and they think that they take the verses of the Bible about the sojourner in your land and all this stuff, and they skip the verses that says God lays out the boundaries and the borders of your country.
00:32:41.000So, I mean, Charlie really believed in educating the church to make sure they had good theology so that they didn't fall into an open borders trap, right?
00:32:49.000So boundaries are where, especially with countries, are where good ideas begin and bad ideas end, or vice versa.
00:32:57.000And they're really, really critical, especially if you look at a place like Texas, which is thriving, which is law and order, which has such an amazing population with amazing character and history.
00:33:54.000And I will say, I think the amount of damage this particular Democrat can do is fairly limited in the time they have, and we'll take the seat back.
00:34:05.000So young people in Texas, I fear there is a, you talk about complacent voters, but there is a complacency maybe amongst young people in Texas that maybe think that your generation is a little backwards and they want to be more progressive or something.
00:34:20.000That was the vibe I was getting when I was on the ground.
00:34:24.000So this is why I think what you guys are doing and partnering with Club America at the high school level, Blake mentioned all these walkouts that we saw across the country, anti-ICE walkouts.
00:34:34.000I think it's so critically important that we save Texas.
00:34:37.000Everything depends on saving Texas from a national level.
00:34:41.000I was just in Texas visiting a friend and we were meeting another friend of his and he was telling me he's in tech in Austin and the number of people fleeing California, the Bay Area, because of how bad that's gotten.
00:34:53.000And he was telling me there's really only a handful of places in the entire world that are really truly innovative where they're doing the cutting edge on technology, business and all of that.
00:35:03.000And one of them was Silicon Valley and they're ruining it.
00:35:06.000And he said, Blake, I think it is existentially important for all of Western civilization that Texas remain Republican.
00:35:14.000Well, first of all, you could never win the White House, ever again, the electoral votes of New York, California, and Texas.
00:35:20.000So you have a one-party government forever.
00:35:23.000Secondly, we're not going to let them win Texas.
00:35:25.000But this was, in many ways, this was a good wake-up call because what happened in Taring County, one of the reddest counties in the country, they just couldn't imagine even in a special election a Democrat could win.
00:35:39.000And so now for the next eight months as we're campaigning, we'll be reminding people, your vote really matters, and you have to get out and vote.
00:35:49.000You know, I go back to this darkness and light.
00:35:52.000I think we have to approach people on where they are in their faith walk.
00:35:58.000You know, someone interviewed me, as you know, we were coming in, and they asked the question about, well, is America really still a faith-based country?
00:36:08.000And the answer, yes, I know, because every time there's a crisis, where do people go?
00:36:12.000They go to their knees and pray, whether it's a national event or whether it's a personal crisis, where do they go?
00:36:34.000Yeah, in my politics, you know what I'm saying.
00:36:37.000I'm not going out there and saying, you know, before you leave, take a yard sign, and I want your commitment.
00:36:42.000But if we are examples to people through how we behave and how we act, and if we can, through Club America, teach that to the next generation, then that generation will be the generation to inherit America, not the generation that we see in the streets.
00:37:02.000Well, and I believe what Charlie believed, that Gen Z is not the problem.
00:37:06.000They're the opportunity and the solution.
00:37:08.000And that's why, you know, we think that they've lost the plot of America.
00:37:14.000But Charlie proved that they had to be reasoned with, that we had to respect their pushback, that we had to respect their questions enough to answer them.
00:37:24.000And once they hear the answer, you can win a lot of them over, and they can be convinced.
00:37:30.000So we've got to keep winning them, right?
00:37:32.000It's not set in America's this unbroken chain of one generation passing on the values and the promise of America to the next, but that link is fragile right now.
00:37:44.000But I think there is so much opportunity in Gen Z, and they are actually really radicalized about a lot of things previous generations got wrong, and they're ready to move on them.
00:37:54.000If we had the money, so another call for all elected officials out there with your campaign funds that you're sitting on that you're never going to spend, send a check, and maybe you can't send a million dollars from your campaign because we have more in Texas and smaller states, but send something because we need to have Club of America on every campus.
00:39:34.000This session, I passed Senate Bill 10 to put the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
00:39:38.000Senate Bill 11 to put prayer back private time in every school.
00:39:42.000You know, as a lieutenant governor, I put in God We Trust in the Senate for the first time ever in history and under God in our pledge.
00:39:48.000And so I just think that you can't expect to turn around the culture of this country if you don't talk about these real issues from the Bible.
00:40:23.000We're not going to allow Sharia law in Texas.
00:40:25.000We're going to go by the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Texas, and we're not going to put up with that.
00:40:31.000You know, we just need politicians not to be afraid to step up.
00:40:36.000There are a lot of people, again, look, one of the things that just aggravates me about the Democrat Party is they're all cowards right now.
