00:03:10.320 america let me try to tell you what i think is going on happening because you're if you're getting your
00:03:14.840 news from cable television you're seeing all of the pieces on the board but nobody is showing you the
00:03:19.700 whole board okay you're seeing venezuela as one story you're seeing greenland as one story cuba it's
00:03:27.800 another story mexico another story china another story oil is another story it's not they're all one
00:03:34.080 story okay one story and the story is this this administration i believe is trying to redraw the
00:03:44.700 strategic map of the western hemisphere and say very very clearly that this side of the world
00:03:50.580 will not be handed over to the cartels the chinese uh government russians or any kind of transnational
00:03:59.220 elite management that treats nations like economic zones instead of homes for real people that's the big
00:04:06.320 idea behind what trump has just launched as the shield of the americas reuters reported he
00:04:14.400 formally launched the coalition in miami march 7th said 17 nations have entered the alliance now
00:04:21.240 you notice what he's doing he is creating new alliances he is saying nato is not really something
00:04:28.660 we should be a part of but he's not saying we shouldn't be a part of a new strategic alliance he's
00:04:33.120 saying all of the strategic alliances have changed and we need to look for the ones that fit this century
00:04:39.600 not last century so he's got 17 nations and at least a dozen regional leaders were at the summit
00:04:46.780 and they signed the proclamation you know beginning it now this is not just another slogan or another you
00:04:55.140 know i'm gonna i'm gonna send kamala harris down to find out what the problem is we know what the 0.99
00:05:01.000 problem is presidents will tell you what they believe with movement not just words president biden told us
00:05:07.880 who he was and what he believed by sending kamala harris who really never went down to find out
00:05:13.020 what the problem was when we all knew what the problem was okay but i want you to look at the moves
00:05:17.560 this president has made in venezuela the administration didn't posture it didn't talk about it
00:05:23.520 u.s forces went in captured nicholas maduro washington then moved quickly to shape the oil picture that
00:05:31.100 followed including announcing um access to as much as two billion dollars in venezuelan crude and seizing
00:05:37.900 the tankers that he said and everybody was saying were used to evade sanctions so what was he doing
00:05:45.120 he was hitting china and also iran he was preparing for that in greenland the white house openly treated the
00:05:54.320 island as a strategic security priority in the arctic and everybody was saying that's crazy what is he
00:06:00.200 doing but what was he doing he said it was necessary to deter adversaries in the region
00:06:09.880 what adversary would that be russia also to open new shipping lines in the arctic circle that we would 0.83
00:06:18.600 control good idea for america first or bad idea cuba is in the news this weekend administration
00:06:26.440 trump has just been tightening the vice okay trump threatened tariffs on any country supplying oil
00:06:33.100 to cuba in january march 7th he said you know guess who's coming to the negotiating table and quote
00:06:40.280 marco rubio is at the end of the line the people were riding the streets down with communism thanking america
00:06:48.960 blah blah blah cuba's about to fall think of that mexico what happened last week in mexico
00:06:57.780 the pressure is no longer theoretical mexican special forces with our intelligence support killed the
00:07:05.940 cartel uh cartel leader uh el mencho um and what did that do oh my gosh that set mexico on fire
00:07:14.560 but exposed just how deep the cartel problem really is none of this stuff is random this is doctrine
00:07:22.620 the theme of today's show really is look for the big picture these none of these stories from the war in
00:07:32.340 or iran to this story none of these are disconnected it is all one big vision now if you want the old name
00:07:40.820 for you know uh what he started this weekend with the shield of america uh or the americas it's the
00:07:47.460 monroe doctrine you know but then you know the monroe doctrine you know wearing the tri-cornered hat
00:07:53.640 really this is the 21st century version that sounds more like a marvel movie the original monroe doctrine
00:08:00.520 said to europe the hemisphere is not your chessboard this belongs to the west and new countries okay it's the
00:08:07.860 new world the updated version says to china and russia and to criminal empires and yes even the folks in
00:08:16.680 davos uh i'm sorry sovereignty is not an inconvenience this hemisphere is not open to hostile capture
00:08:25.680 this is a free zone that's what this is okay so why how does this matter to you why why can we just
00:08:34.960 get gas prices down can we just fix the price of groceries you have been taught your whole life
00:08:42.980 that you know foreign policy is something that happens over there and couple that with oh my gosh and
00:08:51.200 foreign policy always means nation building so we're building somebody else without building us
00:08:56.160 no longer is that true foreign affairs have come home if china controls more strategic ports and
00:09:06.020 infrastructure and debt and communications in latin america that's not abstract china's trade with
00:09:12.820 latin america reached about 520 billion dollars in 2024 it extended more than 120 billion dollars in
00:09:21.020 loans in the hemisphere why why would they do that because they have energy projects they have ports
00:09:28.680 and other strategic infrastructure here in our hemisphere they would control it
00:09:35.260 also we've been concerned about the chinese-backed facilities in places like peru and argentina
00:09:42.440 as well as chinese support for venezuela that can happen if you want a secure nation if look if you
00:09:50.940 want to continue the idea that we are a nation in decline then don't do any of these things
00:09:56.560 but if you say we cannot be a nation in decline the best still has to be in front of us for our
00:10:04.440 children if you don't mind the u.s dollar no longer being the world's reserve currency so we are
00:10:13.500 essentially mexico then don't do any of these things if russia can keep anti-american regimes alive in 0.53
00:10:23.420 this hemisphere through oil and shipping and intelligence ties or sanctions evasion that's not
00:10:30.140 abstract okay if cartels the next one on the list can control territory in mexico and i mean
00:10:38.660 a lot of territory in mexico they are the government of mexico and they can move fentanyl traffic human
00:10:46.820 beings intimidate local and state governments have their own private armies that's not a border issue
00:10:54.400 that's a parallel state on our border you know mexico described cartel retaliation as so intense
00:11:04.520 that the roads were blockaded and businesses burned and flights were suspended that's a parallel
00:11:12.200 government so when the president came out this weekend and said shield of the americas the real point
00:11:20.380 is that it's not just theater the real point is this the united states is trying to lock down
00:11:29.700 it's near abroad before the adversaries that we have lock us out of it and they were close because
00:11:36.480 nobody paid attention hey you're locked in with the best of the glenn beck program back with more right
00:11:42.340 after this let me talk to you about patriot mobile there's an old rule in doing business with people
00:11:51.040 if you want to understand a company don't just listen to what they say look at what they do what do they
00:11:56.480 fund money is really honest it tells you what a company really believes in over the last few years
00:12:03.380 a lot of the big mobile carriers in this country have been i'd say pretty open about where their
00:12:09.920 money goes supporting political causes activist groups agenda that that i don't agree with do you
00:12:16.020 agree with that i mean look at who they're supporting no thank you i don't want my money going to that but
00:12:21.000 if i'm on one of the big carriers i'm paying for all of that so i'm actually helping destroy the
00:12:27.140 things that i'm trying to work hard to protect patriot mobile was built as a different kind of
00:12:32.280 company they provide dependable nationwide coverage on the same major networks that you're already using
00:12:37.800 but their mission is different they support organizations that defend faith and family and freedom and
00:12:43.120 the values that made your country what it is today and keep it strong others will offer just the
00:12:50.020 competitive plans they do too and the u.s-based service patriot mobile goes the step further

00:13:01.600 supporting you and your principles and values it's patriot mobile.com slash beck call 972 patriot use

00:13:19.260 podcast you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program last night i looked at my wife
00:13:25.960 she said are you okay and i said yeah i just have to go back into the jaws of hell again tomorrow 0.75
00:13:35.380 and she said what do you mean i said you know i've i always have this i i leave on friday
00:13:42.420 and i have a day or so where i pretty much don't think of the news but i always it's it runs 24 hours
00:13:49.980 a day so i always have to kind of pay attention but then on friday after or saturday sorry sunday
00:13:54.820 afternoon i've really got to get back in and see what i've missed and everything else and with
00:13:59.380 everything that is going on in the world uh it's just it's very daunting and more so because i don't 0.96
00:14:06.180 feel like anybody i've been watching the news since the war began what a pile of crap that is 0.72
00:14:14.040 how do you get anything out of that how do you get anything useful and then we have all of these 0.90
00:14:20.860 problems internally with our own side just fracturing and everybody is playing this game of
00:14:28.480 you know who's the biggest traitor in the world who's who's for this war who's against this war 0.99
00:14:34.560 you're a traitor no you're a traitor oh my god so let me try to do something different 0.99
00:14:42.840 because i think there's a question that i know i'm asking myself i don't have the answers 0.99
00:14:50.240 i'm searching just like you are
00:14:53.140 but my job requires me to come up with an answer
00:15:03.280 so let me give it a shot first of all you're not crazy if you're asking wait a minute wait a
00:15:11.560 minute i thought we were done with all these wars i thought america first meant no more endless wars
00:15:17.000 in the middle east no more no more disasters why are we involved with iran now boots on the ground
00:15:23.240 did i hear the president say boots on the ground does that mean body bags are coming home gas prices
00:15:28.260 are now exploding is this a 20-year war that no one can explain again you remember how it started
00:15:35.280 in iraq so do i i've been watching the news and it is absolutely worthless because it's just about
00:15:44.140 politics but this is principle driven what is actually happening not which answers is going to
00:15:53.080 make me more popular or a traitor to one side or another what's actually happening what does it mean
00:15:59.260 because not only do you deserve to understand what is actually happening you're an american citizen
00:16:06.040 you have to understand this so let me first recognize what you're feeling 20 years for 20 years the united
00:16:16.560 united states did something that we all know now was a huge mistake i don't care what side of the aisle
00:16:22.740 you were on i mean maybe unless you're lindsey graham we all know that was a mistake and what was the mistake
00:16:29.600 was it going
00:16:35.260 was it trying to punish afghanistan for you know 9-11 well what was it
00:16:45.700 here was the mistake we tried to replace governments we didn't go after the bad guys and then just
00:16:51.780 knock them out we went into an iraq we went into iraq we went into afghanistan and we nation built
00:16:58.880 okay and the theory was really really simple remove the dictator build democracy because everybody loves
00:17:05.760 democracy and that will stabilize the region but it doesn't work that way and toppling a regime
00:17:11.860 is super easy but building a stable country afterwards is almost impossible especially
00:17:20.100 if you're a bunch of guys from a think tank in the west and you're going to a tribal state
00:17:26.260 in afghanistan and that lesson cost us trillions of dollars and thousands of american lives so when you hear
00:17:37.020 the word iran and war every alarm bell in your head goes off and frankly it should because iraq was bad 1.00
00:17:45.800 afghanistan was bad we should never ever do that again and especially do it again and expect different 1.00
00:17:53.120 results that's the definition of insanity
00:17:55.940 so what is this is this not iraq or afghanistan again is there anything different that we're trying
00:18:05.840 what is it what's the strategy let me try to explain this the strategy
00:18:13.560 that appears to be unfolding right now is not regime change it is something else entirely
00:18:21.540 it's called regime containment and those two things are night and day different regime change
00:18:30.620 means this you drop bombs then you send troops in you invade you occupy you overthrow the government
00:18:37.980 and then you try to play to put a new government in and you rebuild the country that's iraq that's
00:18:45.440 afghanistan and the american people know donald trump knows no we're not doing that ever again well
00:18:52.980 wait a minute i know i said that you said that he said that why are we doing this then what are we
00:18:57.860 doing do you remember about it must have been about 2004 maybe 2003 we got into iraq and it starts going
00:19:07.320 poorly and we're like why didn't we just go in and kill the bad guys and then leave why didn't we just 0.92
00:19:14.620 go in and kill osama bin laden and the people that were responsible for it teach them a lesson hit them 1.00
00:19:21.040 hard kill them kill them kill them quickly and then get the hell out remember that 1.00
00:19:27.280 we didn't do it then because the old thinking is you break it you fix it you break it you own it 1.00
00:19:35.020 well that doesn't work
00:19:37.060 so the new thinking is what if we just break it 0.99
00:19:43.180 contain it contain it disable it and go home what happens if we just go over and kill the bad guys 0.97
00:19:52.960 wipe out their ability to destroy other things wipe out their military and then leave
00:20:00.380 and that's what's happening containment containment is not nation building containment is different
00:20:09.540 containment we went into venezuela do you remember thinking wait a minute we just let the vice
00:20:15.460 president who's just as bad as the other president maduro we let her just stay in we're keeping the 1.00
00:20:21.260 regime what yes that's called containment and i guarantee you here's how that conversation went
00:20:27.280 guess who the next president is you are and you know what you don't do what we need you to do
00:20:34.120 on these particular issues get the hell out of bed with china and russia you're not to let anyone any 0.87
00:20:41.740 terrorist organizations like hezbollah into uh venezuela to train you're getting rid of all of that 0.98
00:20:49.040 stuff and you're stomping out your drug trade and you know what congratulations mrs president you'll be
00:20:55.820 president of venezuela you don't do it it's a red line for us you're next that's containment
00:21:03.360 now we've let her do it and guess what happened this weekend she was singing the praises of the 0.54
00:21:09.820 united states isn't that weird you break the regime's ability to threaten the world you destroy
00:21:18.420 the military capability you target weapons programs you stop nuclear development but you do not invade
00:21:27.380 the country you don't occupy there's no boots on the grounds you don't try to rebuild it you let the
00:21:33.240 people inside the country decide their own future even if it's a future you don't really love
00:21:37.960 that is a very different doctrine and we've used it before we've used it before it's successful
00:21:46.140 uh it's called the former soviet union we didn't invade moscow we contained it until the regime
00:21:55.800 collapsed under its own weight boots on the ground none now trump has said this weekend there are in
00:22:04.220 in a very specific way he said yes there will be boots on the ground wait wait what boots on the ground
00:22:12.180 what does that mean to the average person boots on the ground that means guys with guns go in and
00:22:19.140 they're fighting in the streets and they're trying to what i don't even know what what did we do in
00:22:24.100 afghanistan nation build no no boots on the ground but you didn't listen or the media didn't listen or
00:22:32.680 if they did they they kept this from you because they're only about fear and by the way i want you to
00:22:39.940 know you should be afraid of this this is war this is it's not just war we are both now engaged in a
00:22:49.280 holy war iran's been engaged in a holy war since 1979 we're the big satan they're coming for we're 1.00
00:22:57.300 going to kill all the americans we're going to kill iran um israel we're going to kill all the jews 1.00
00:23:02.920 we'll wash the world in blood everyone who's against us will burn in the fires of the islamic fury 1.00
00:23:09.620 that's a holy war we just denied it and never engaged well we've engaged and we're in a holy war now
00:23:17.560 okay how do you deal with the holy war how do you deal with a holy war holy war when there's
00:23:25.100 nuclear material on the ground you know when we went in and we bombed what happened we bombed we
00:23:32.140 said we got all their nuclear you know facilities did we i don't know but we said we got them but you
00:23:39.120 know what we didn't get what we didn't get is the uranium that's been enriched okay
00:23:47.540 i just want i want to ask i want to ask you before i go any further i want to ask you this
00:23:53.020 what would happen if we would have done nothing
00:23:59.740 to me here's the most likely thing we would have bought maybe a year maybe two maybe five maybe i don't
00:24:08.460 know we would have bought time but if we did nothing iran would eventually become a nuclear power
00:24:14.820 the middle east becoming a nuclear powder keg overnight because they are fighting a religious 1.00
00:24:22.020 war these are not you they're not me they're not china they're not russia they want to wash the world 0.95
00:24:28.880 in blood they don't care why do you think they're hitting all of their neighbors because they need
00:24:34.900 a holy war
00:24:36.240 if they would have gotten nuclear material then saudi arabia needs to go nuclear turkey would go 0.78
00:24:45.360 nuclear egypt would go nuclear israel would respond now suddenly you have the most unstable region in 0.98
00:24:52.700 the world with five or six nuclear powers all of them or damn near all of them bat crap crazy 0.59
00:24:59.080 that's a nightmare so stopping that before it happens is not an endless war you're preventing
00:25:09.520 a larger one now should we have waited longer i don't know i don't know i don't get the briefings
00:25:15.480 so i don't know and quite frankly neither do any of these boobs that are telling you they do know for
00:25:21.560 sure none of them do i'm so sick and tired of people like me telling you they know for sure that
00:25:28.560 this is what's going on i have no idea what's going on and i have pretty good access i have no idea i have
00:25:36.380 no idea what's right what's wrong i have no idea i have principles and i'm trying to hold on to my
00:25:42.620 principles but what do you do when you've bombed a country and you have enriched weapons grade uranium 0.72
00:25:52.020 you send scientists in but you can't send a bunch of nerds in by themselves oh where's the uh where's
00:26:00.420 the uh enriched uranium they're not going to do anything with it they might find it but you're going
00:26:05.900 to need protection and military grade aircraft to lift it out that's what he means by boots on the
00:26:14.120 ground scientists with guys with guns and airplanes able to go find that stuff and get it the hell out
00:26:21.580 of the middle east now again let me ask you what are the other options if you let somebody else do it
00:26:28.440 who are you gonna let you know you're gonna trust the people in uh europe not me the middle east
00:26:35.700 not me do you know how many dirty bombs this could make let alone i think it was what was it four
00:26:43.080 nuclear warheads do you know how many dirty bombs that could make by the way alexander dugan is saying
00:26:49.360 that russia should provide any nuclear technology to anyone who will fight against the west yeah we live
00:26:57.080 in a very dangerous world today but here is the most important difference between this moment
00:27:04.320 and the wars americans americans remember
00:27:08.200 there is no american invasion plan there is no 200 000 troop occupation force there is no nation
00:27:18.800 building fantasy you leave that to the iranian people and millions of them hate the regime that
00:27:27.080 rules them they've protested they've risked their lives marching out in the streets women have cut 1.00
00:27:32.500 their hair in defiance i mean it's pretty clear students rising up entire cities pushing back
00:27:38.820 the real future of iran not going to be decided by american soldiers there's not going to be any
00:27:43.340 parades like there were in france in world war ii for us it's going to be decided by the iranian people
00:27:48.980 and the strategy appears designed to avoid crushing that possibility with an american occupation because once
00:27:55.880 we're there it's over now that doesn't mean there aren't risks there are absolutely are you're
00:28:03.660 listening to the best of glenn beck need a little more check out the full show podcasts anywhere you
00:28:08.740 download podcasts you have so much you're dealing with every day and i know it and it uh as i start
00:28:16.880 to do my work every night i'm getting ready for this show i think about what you're facing every day
00:28:22.640 from just simple things like going and getting a hamburger at the drive-thru and how expensive that
00:28:29.020 is you are dealing with issues of affordability and job stability i mean ai comes in do you even have
00:28:35.940 time to think about ai it's just the beginning of the things you have to worry we we are people now
00:28:42.540 that we have to start um juggling many things at the same time you know we have to you know the old
00:28:51.440 saying is i can walk and chew gum at the same time well that would be nice walk and chew gum plus
00:28:55.620 play tennis maybe bowling night have a parent teacher conference so teachers can't put your
00:28:59.640 kids on gender hormones fight your way through an antifa protest you know so you can vote to stop 0.94
00:29:05.640 sharia law okay that's what you're doing every single day i just did it an hour a minute ago uh on
00:29:12.980 what this means when donald trump says boots on the ground boots on the ground to this a holy war
00:29:20.860 and oil prices what does all that mean
00:29:24.540 it's so much easier when you realize everything is connected you know one of the things that you
00:29:32.260 know as i've tried to find out figure out how does ai do what it does nobody really knows but we do know
00:29:37.680 this we've put all of our lessons all of our work everything into an ai system and what it does
00:29:45.700 is it looks for patterns and then it puts them together
00:29:49.720 that is the that's the definition of intelligence being able to spot patterns and then put them
00:29:58.340 together so if you're looking for something intelligent let's look for patterns do you remember
00:30:05.660 when i was at fox i told you this prediction and it wasn't really a prediction i knew it to be true
00:30:11.660 because i looked at the patterns do you remember this chalkboard i put this up and said radicals
00:30:18.780 islamists communists and socialists will work together against israel against capitalism and
00:30:23.780 work together to overturn stability there are radicals globalists islamists all working together 0.97
00:30:30.460 radicals islamists communists and socialists will work together against israel work against
00:30:34.900 capitalism work together to overturn stability let it be my tombstone i was hammered for it radicals
00:30:43.740 islamists communists socialists all working together against israel this has nothing to do with israel
00:30:49.460 this has everything to do with freedom and they all said that they would never work together that
00:30:55.860 chalkboard is everything you need except there's one thing that i left off that chalkboard that i'm going
00:31:00.260 to add today but let's start here all of the players their motives their objectives if you miss
00:31:06.040 this one giant chalkboard dot you're going to be lost and let me show you something happened this
00:31:13.560 weekend in new york city that you know should have stopped the entire country dead in his tracks if
00:31:18.780 you knew the chalkboard outside gracie mansion the official residence of the mayor of new york
00:31:24.540 protests two of them collided one was protesting what organized called the islamification
00:31:30.060 of the city and the other counter protest was against them okay in the middle of that clash
00:31:36.940 according to the new york police department a man lit and threw an improvised explosive device
00:31:42.540 an ied when's the first time you ever heard of an ied well that's right that's what iran created
00:31:48.960 to blow up our soldiers okay police later confirmed it was not a smoke bomb or a hoax it was a real
00:31:57.600 device it was a jar packed with screws and nuts and bolts and a fuse and if it would have gone off it
00:32:04.140 would have caused massive injury and death okay two suspects were arrested federal authorities have
00:32:10.800 opened a terror investigation thankfully it failed to detonate but that's not the troubling part of the
00:32:18.000 story the most troubling part is what happened afterward the new mayor of new york condemned the protest
00:32:26.020 itself as hateful and racist but he avoided acknowledging the ideological context behind the attack on the
00:32:34.900 other side at the same time there are reports circulating that the mayor's own wife had a 0.77
00:32:41.100 previously liked social media post uh celebrating the october 7th hamas attack against israel post
00:32:48.120 ranging from the breach of israel's border to describing it just simply as resistance okay so why does any of
00:32:55.500 this matter well because leadership matters tone matters and what leaders excuse or refuse to confront
00:33:04.220 often becomes what a society learns to tolerate but that's not enough america today is facing a problem that
00:33:14.820 many of our political leaders refuse to even describe because they're cowards mom donnie's not a coward he's
00:33:20.700 different there is this growing ideological alliance between two movements that have historically had
00:33:27.620 two very different worldviews radical marxism and radical islamism okay at first glance if you're an 0.99
00:33:36.200 idiot or a boob that has studied this the whole time and then you get on and you're like ah i'm bill 0.97
00:33:42.720 crystal and i know those two groups never work together okay bill one is secular one is revolutionary one is 1.00
00:33:51.680 religious one is authoritarian or are they both because history will show us something really really
00:33:58.300 important when movements share the same enemy that enemy being western civilization capitalism or liberal
00:34:06.260 democracy which when i mean liberal democracy what i mean is that people choose their own future
00:34:12.480 these two groups always form a temporary alliance okay notice i said temporary alliance political
00:34:20.920 scientists call it the red green alliance and the most important example of that alliance happened in
00:34:26.820 iran in 1979 when the iranian revolution happened in 1979 i was a kid i barely remember this but
00:34:34.580 it wasn't just the the clerics that were protesting the shah who else was there and played a maximum role
00:34:42.780 in that it was students and marxists and communist and secular revolutionaries and they band together
00:34:50.340 with the islamic clerics and they all marched arm in arm hand in hand left-wing guerrilla groups 0.53
00:34:56.780 and communist parties helped destabilize iran then the islamist networks mobilized all of the mosques
00:35:05.920 so this has been talked about over and over and over again it is the red green alliance and intellectuals
00:35:16.740 have gone into it with all kinds of you know all kinds of books and everything else is this is really
00:35:23.260 well known but nobody will talk about it okay and together they overthrew the shah and then something
00:35:29.700 predictable happened once the islamists consolidated power under the ayatollah khomeini
00:35:35.560 they turned on their former marxist allies the communists were imprisoned the revolutionaries
00:35:43.160 were purged they were executed and they were tortured
00:35:47.060 hmm wait a minute i thought they were partners in this glenn you just said they worked together
00:35:54.680 mm-hmm i did to destabilize the western world
00:36:00.260 i didn't go into what happens after did i i was just trying to say look at these people they are
00:36:08.740 connected this is a connected movement and that was that nobody could understand that at the time
00:36:15.480 because it was 15 years ahead but now you can see it they are connected
00:36:21.040 so now it's time to add something else to the chalkboard
00:36:25.200 history recorded this lesson very clearly temporary revolutionary alliances often end with one side
00:36:34.880 eating the other and the pattern didn't end in iran you can see the echoes of it in a whole bunch of
00:36:41.680 other places parts of europe particularly france and great britain analysts have warned about the
00:36:46.760 political cooperation between segments of the far left and the islamist activist movements inside
00:36:52.200 urban political coalition coalitions do you know who just controls the green party now
00:36:58.840 in england who just took over the radical islamists the green party is now an islamist
00:37:08.820 party but they're also marxist see they'll work together these alliances form around the shared
00:37:18.060 opposition to the west israel capitalism and national identity
00:37:24.480 the left provides the political shield the islamists provide the mobilization and the grievance 1.00
00:37:32.620 narrative and together they build a coalition powerful enough to reshape our institutions
00:37:38.120 we're watching versions of this emerge in western cities today look at the map
00:37:42.800 in the united states new york dearborn minneapolis parts of texas and those are just a couple of them
00:37:51.200 these are places where radical political movements and radical religious ideologies
00:37:56.700 are marching under the same banner and when the violence happens the first instinct is not to
00:38:03.740 confront the ideology it's to silence the discussion that's what's going to get us all killed and anyone who
00:38:12.080 raises the concern is either a conspiracy theorist or a bigot or whatever but refusing to talk about the
00:38:19.500 ideology and what's actually happen happening does not make it disappear it allows it to grow
00:38:26.140 so let me say something really super clear
00:38:30.940 i don't have a problem with muslims there's a lot of muslims in america in america that want to live 0.97
00:38:39.080 moved away from that crap they know exactly what it is they're americans they work they raise families 0.99
00:38:45.140 they want the same thing that you and i want and they don't want any of that crap 0.99
00:38:49.260 but it's happening america should always remain open to immigrants who want to become americans it's one of 0.95
00:38:59.400 our greatest strength but the islamist and the marxist are shipping people here that don't want to be an 1.00
00:39:05.740 american and that openness cannot mean blindness because among the millions who cross our borders
00:39:12.080 or enter our political institutions there are a lot of them now that want to not join america
00:39:18.760 but change it into something else entirely and when these people openly celebrate terrorism justify
00:39:25.560 violence throw bombs into crowds you have to have the courage to say enough is enough enough is enough
00:39:34.400 this isn't about your religion it's not about your race ideology matters because history shows that
00:39:45.600 civilizations don't collapse from a single attack they collapse when they lose the ability to recognize
00:39:51.680 the attack for what it is iran learned that lesson in 1979 europe is learning it right now and america is
00:40:00.140 seeing the early warning signs the solution of course is not hatred hatred destroys nations the solution is
00:40:06.280 also not naive or stupid compassion look look away from the danger no no we can chew gum and walk at the 0.56
00:40:18.020 same time we can see the danger and also not hate 0.95
00:40:21.340 welcome those who come here to be americans the right way and remove those who came here the wrong
00:40:31.480 way and those especially who have come here to change or harm america and that means deporting the 0.99
00:40:38.200 individuals who openly support terrorism that means refusing to tolerate violent ideological movements
00:40:45.600 period no matter what side it means having the courage to discuss the problem honestly
00:40:50.720 even when it's uncomfortable because the most dangerous moment any civilization ever uh faces
00:40:58.720 is not when the extremists appear because the extremists have always been here they've always existed
00:41:05.460 the most dangerous moment is when leaders and citizens convince themselves that speaking about the
00:41:12.400 threat is worse than the threat itself that's how societies drift into disaster and we cannot
00:41:19.960 it's not it's not too late to pull back on the reins but it is growing late the stakes are not politics
00:41:27.700 it's not the stakes are the survival for the american idea the idea that all men are created equal and
00:41:34.940 endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights you know that there are marxists now and there are 1.00
00:41:40.840 those i'm going to get into the the fraction on the right here today there are those in the right who are saying
00:41:47.780 the problem is liberal democracy the problem is that people have too many rights nope that's not the
00:41:56.340 problem because you know who gave me those rights god so how are you telling me that god is against me
00:42:02.560 having rights doesn't really work does it satan oh gosh let me add one thing to this
00:42:12.460 the islamics the islamics the socialists the um communists the radicals will work together to
00:42:21.320 destabilize uh israel europe and the entire western world then here's the addition then the most vicious 0.99
00:42:32.760 will kill torture and imprison the others marxist you think you're so smart mamdani i'm not sure 0.95
00:42:42.320 if he is a marxist or a uh islamist i have my own view on that but i don't know what's true or not 0.99
00:42:49.820 but i will tell you this he's the nexus he's the nexus he's the one that can put them both together
00:42:58.940 half of that crowd is going to be very very disappointed when they're being tortured and
00:43:06.480 killed in the end both need to be stopped
00:43:10.620 getting ready for a game means being ready for anything like packing a spare stick i like to be
00:43:24.060 prepared that's why i remember 988 canada's suicide crisis helpline it's good to know just in case
00:43:30.540 anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a trained responder anytime 988 suicide crisis
00:43:37.920 helpline is funded by the government in canada
00:43:39.820 you
