00:02:23.460Spark the flame. Pass it on. Crank the game. Glenn Beck is on. Glenn Beck is on.
00:33:58.720A couple of, two weeks ago, I think, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi finally publicly announced the existence of the Immortal Guard, Guard Ajavidon, a decentralized, self-organized group of people, multiple circles across the country that have been trained and are ready to go.
00:34:25.300i cannot go into details of that uh too much is its sake and we are talking about a war zone
00:34:34.520okay um well that is um good news i had not heard that before one one of the things i have heard
00:34:43.320um to try to discourage uh those who want iran to be free um is that the people are turning on
00:34:53.160the united states and israel because of the bombing that you know they're saying you now
00:34:58.780you're killing us um and you know now they're turning on us is there any truth to that
00:35:04.160in every society you have outliers before this whole uh military operation started uh the islamic
00:35:13.700republic and a bunch of lunatic leftists organized a pro-pali uh rally outside tehran university
00:35:21.820They were able to get 20, 30 people outside Tehran University to chant in support of Hamas and Hezbollah and other terrorist groups.
00:35:32.360And more importantly, we are dealing with a situation that internet has been caught.
00:35:37.720Yes, some dissidents have received satellite internet and technological tools that is enabling them to circumvent the blockade.
00:35:47.100But a lot of the noise that is coming out of the Islamic Republic is generated by the Islamic Republic.
00:35:55.940Remember a couple of months ago, there was a story all over the news about white SIM cards, SIM cards that the regime removes all online limits for and give it to influencers to push its line.
00:36:09.800There is also another piece of evidence of them doing the same thing.
00:36:13.880When the regime's foreign minister was on air giving an interview using internet, he was questioned, why do you have internet while the whole nation is offline? He responded, I'm the voice of the nation.
00:36:27.640They are providing internet to these type of influencers to push an anti-U.S., anti-Israel narrative.
00:36:36.480But what we hear from people in Iran is that with every missile hitting this regime, people are rejoicing.
00:36:44.760When Nooruz was happening, traditionally people visit the graves of their loved ones.
00:36:49.620When you kill tens of thousands of protesters in cold blood, hundreds of thousands are going to visit their graves, and they did.
00:36:59.860There is a video of a mother, a mother at the grave of his son killed, and she's shouting, addressing the United States and Israel, and telling them, God bless you, you made our hearts happy after this darkness.
00:37:17.000This is the mood that we are seeing coming out of the country.
00:37:22.320Is there something that the people are waiting for?
00:37:27.640Is there a signal they're waiting for?
00:37:29.920Is it Donald Trump just coming out and saying, now?
00:38:06.060And two, two weeks of targeted campaign, taking out the Islamic Republic's arms of oppression, would turn the tide, give the Iranians an actual chance in this uphill battle.
00:38:20.120We have been fighting this for the past five decades.
00:38:23.220I have been involved with it for 17 years.
00:38:28.580This is, you're saying that there's still a lot of targets left before that signal can be given.
00:38:34.820Yes. And that's my understanding from every military and security source that we talk with, that the military campaign is far from over. And which war against a major terrorist sponsor like the Islamic Republic, a state that has killed so many people inside and outside the country, has occupied land beyond the borders of Iran.
00:38:59.040look at Lebanon, look at Syria, look at Yemen, look at Iraq, how a war against such a regime
00:39:06.480can be over in three, four weeks. The timeline is not too far from being over, but there is much
00:39:16.420more needed to be done for the call to arrive. And President Trump has repeatedly told the Iranian
00:39:23.460And people stay home, stay safe while the bombs are falling.
00:39:27.680When they stop, the call will arrive from the leader of the opposition,
00:39:31.940Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, and Iranians have shown that when that man speaks, they listen.
00:39:45.840I mean, if the people don't in the end rise up, if we don't weaken them enough
00:39:51.240and give you the opportunity to rise up it it may unfortunately be another half century before you
00:39:56.720have this opportunity again so i pray this goes well osro thank you very much thank you for having
00:40:02.220you bet you bet osro isfahani uh the national union for democracy in iran all right more in

00:52:35.980but in our special we have dr zutty jasser zutty is a dear friend of mine i've known him for
00:52:43.700i don't even know 20 years probably um it wasn't i think i was at cnn when i first met him
00:52:50.360he is a primary care physician uh he is he used to be a lieutenant commander in the u.s navy
00:52:58.640physician to congress and the supreme court justices he is also the founder of the
00:53:05.020american islamic forum for democracy and the muslim reform movement reason why i like him so
00:53:13.320much is this guy has paid and his family have paid such a heavy price because he's a muslim
00:53:20.100but he says there's a big difference between a muslim and an islamist and he is trying to reform
00:53:26.880Islam. Imagine being that guy. He is also now running for Congress. I fully support him.
00:53:35.300He is running for Arizona's fourth district. It's a swing district. You can find more about him at
00:53:41.620Z4AZ, Z4AZ.com. Zutty, thanks for coming on.
00:53:50.040Anytime, Glenn. It's great to be with you. Thanks for talking about this. It's the most
00:53:54.260important discussion in the 21st century so i want to i'm gonna push back hard uh on you because i
00:54:01.500really want to have an honest discussion about this you said in the special there is a difference
00:54:07.400and i wasn't sure honestly at the beginning of the special i wasn't sure that i fully agreed
00:54:14.140with that i thought i did but i didn't fully agree with it i wasn't married to it until i heard some
00:54:19.060other things in the special and then i think i'm there but i want to play pushback and devil's
00:54:23.800advocate because in the special you said there is a difference between muslims and an islamist
00:54:29.400one is political uh and one is religious i guess
00:54:35.540yes you know and and this is a construct uh you know as you know as somebody who believes there's
00:54:44.480some deep need for reform in islam and we haven't gone through the anti-theocratic movement yet
00:54:50.660You can't admit as a Muslim that you need reform unless you realize that the general consensus, the leadership, the establishment of the faith has a cancer in it, and that is theocracy.
00:55:01.160So you can call it political Islam, theocratic Islam, Sharia, supremacism, all those things are the same thing.
00:55:08.820And is it the predominant Islam? Absolutely.
00:55:11.300There's no doubt that normative Islam, as you played an audio earlier, most of the imams, 95% of the imams globally are problematic.
00:55:21.820They are evil as far as their concept of humanity, of human rights.
00:55:26.620Their values are incompatible with America, with the West.
00:55:30.740And no different than our founding fathers that fought against theocracy, I as a Muslim have a moonshot.
00:55:37.900I have a sense that this is where I think we can go.
00:55:40.660I believe in liberty. I believe in that first liberty. But even after our founding fathers fought for a revolution, it took them 13 years until they had a legal document and that they agreed upon and recognized that first liberty as being religious liberty.
00:55:55.200So as an American and as a Muslim, I say, you know what? We have to recognize that there's a table. We're not going to rename the religion. The definitions, Islam is the faith. Muslims are those who follow it. The problem is the entire establishment, the leadership, the people that are making money from Islam, the Petro Islamists of Saudi Arabia, of Iran, of Pakistan, the establishment that has dug their heels in the sand for the last thousand years.
00:56:25.200But let's also not have an ahistorical approach to Islam, like any other faith, and say, listen, if the recipe was wrong, the first three, four hundred years would not have been an era of enlightenment on the planet in which the Greek philosophers and so many philosophers are translated into Arabic and other languages while the West was still grappling with the Dark Ages if the recipe was wrong.
00:56:49.000But it went from 4,000 schools of Sharia to essentially four, and you had basically now for 1,000 years. This is why what's happening in Iran is so amazing. If you don't separate Islamism from Muslims and a possibility of reform, who are the people in Iran, the people on the street that reject theocracy? Are they in a vacuum? Do they not have a faith? Are we going to disenfranchise them from their relationship with God?
00:57:17.460And I want to end this comment with what you and I, we've become such good friends. And I can tell you that as you met my wife, you met my kids, you know, my kids are God-fearing, moral, sentient human beings who have a strong relationship with morality.
00:57:32.820They aren't morally inverted like all these satanic cultish death cult folks of the Islamists.
00:57:39.360They would die for their fellow Americans regardless of their faith.
00:57:42.920They believe in God and fast and pray.
00:57:48.600It must be a faith that has some type of moral compass.
00:57:53.020And if we say that's not a faith and we don't even want to call it Islam, we recognize that we're a minority report within that faith.
00:58:00.080But we also have to, we can't leave, you know, I recognize that the seats at the table are empty, that the most majority of Muslims are silent and we have given them a pass. No, don't give them a pass. Put fire under their feet. Tell them that they're like the silent Nazis in Germany, you know, silent Germans under Nazi Germany. Yes, tell them that. Get them awakened. But don't deprive them and disenfranchise them of their relationship with God and the faith of Islam.
00:58:28.260on you know that was something that we did in world war ii you know i said i was someplace
00:58:33.140speaking and it just kind of came out of my mouth and i thought well that's going to cause some
00:58:36.840problems um but let me repeat it now to a bigger audience um uh you know when we went into germany
00:58:45.000you know we knew who the we knew who the enemy was um and we knew who the the germans were that
00:58:52.700were good because not all germans were nazis but the ones that were good were the ones that were
00:58:57.160like the nazis are over there get those guys help us help us we knew because the the good guys would
00:59:04.680self-identify and help um the bad guys didn't um and you know you get to a point to where
00:59:13.780this is going to get so bad if we can't have logical conversations if we can't just be shouted
00:59:21.240down every time we try to have this conversation it's going to get to the point zutty where
00:59:26.100everybody's just going to everybody's just going to assume that every muslim is bad and in the
00:59:32.860special that i saw you know one of the things that really convinced me or helped convince me
00:59:38.260was the number of muslims that when the muslim brotherhood and others were taking over and buying
00:59:44.560all of the american mosques most people don't even know this happened buying all of these mosques
00:59:50.080and taking them over it was the american muslim that were standing up reaching out to our government
00:59:55.780and everybody else going help help help help we're being taken over by really bad people
01:00:00.900and they were and we didn't do anything and now what do you what do you do if you're in that
01:00:05.980community now how do you speak out exactly and that we have to recognize that uh america really
01:00:14.520has the answer and that europe you can almost put a fork in it because their version of democracy
01:00:20.720is a racial version in which, for example, one of the founding scholars of the concept of Islamism
01:00:26.960that understands it was Bassam Tibi, a German scholar. He retired in America because he said,
01:00:32.380you know, I lived in Germany for 40 years and I never felt German because they didn't have
01:00:37.420a culture of absorbing folks of all different, you know, origins, ethnic origins that could then
01:00:44.300become American or become German. So he retired in America. He said, Americanism as that
01:00:49.800anti-theocratic religious liberty is the only way to create a strategy against political Islam,
01:00:56.920against these viral movements. So let's look at the threat. 1.8 billion Muslims globally,
01:01:03.10030 to 40 percent are dyed-in-the-wool Islamists, which is five to 600 million people. So that's a
01:01:09.700massive movement. So yes, people who say that Islam is a problem are right. There's not that
01:01:14.920much daylight between them and me but the issue is what is our strategy as a as a west to save the
01:01:21.380west we have to have a strategy of an offense and the head of the spear of that offense i'm not
01:01:26.940alone the people of iran are more on the offense than me because i've been protected by a country
01:01:32.440that has gone through this revolution and by the way the woke uh the the bigotry of low expectations
01:01:38.800all of that needs to go away because it's giving muslims a pass in america so they do become more
01:01:44.360passive and sort of let you know uh the iranians fight the battle against islamism when in fact
01:01:50.200it's coming here to our shore so we have to fight it here in this laboratory that we can do it better
01:01:55.300than anywhere on the planet against theocracy sudi i want to push back um on something you said
01:02:01.200a minute ago so give me 60 seconds we're back with dr zuti jasser he is running for u.s house
01:02:08.240that's not why he's on um he's a dear friend of mine and one of the bravest people that i know
01:02:12.820um and he is running for what is it the fourth district uh in arizona uh which is a swing uh
01:02:20.040district you can find out about him at z4az.com um but i want to push back on something you said
01:02:27.260um and we'll do that in 60 seconds first time for you to take back your life from the pain that has
01:02:32.540been keeping you down and you know who you are you know how long this has been going on you've
01:02:36.440tried to work around it you tried to push through it you ignore it when you can manage it when you
01:02:41.080can't, and if you're being honest, it's been calling the shots more often than you'd like,
01:02:45.360but it doesn't have to. Relief Factor is a daily drug-free supplement that was designed to help

01:03:25.4001995 relieffactor.com 1-800-4-RELIEF 10 seconds station id
01:03:39.100so zudi i want to i want to talk to you here and we're going to have a short period of time here
01:03:47.040and then we'll open it up after the next commercial break but i want to talk to you about
01:03:51.360you know how do you separate because politics is part i mean it is a system of laws that just kind
01:03:59.580of like the mosaic laws uh were at the beginning with uh with judaism and still are in some ways
01:04:05.440some of those things in the old testament but more importantly you said 90 of the mosques or
01:04:12.440the imams at the mosque 90 of them are are radicalized if i said that 90 of the priests
01:04:21.360in the catholic church were radicalized i would have a hard time then saying i trust catholics
01:04:29.080because, I mean, if you're going to that
01:04:32.640and you know that priest is radicalized,
01:04:35.820how do I trust that you're not either radical
01:09:02.500And, you know, every faith has its own historical arc of reformation and modernization and what that would include.
01:09:10.080You know, as you mentioned, Catholicism, the first hundreds of years of Catholicism, the church prevented the laity from even reading the scripture in Latin.
01:09:17.840And ultimately, that was reformed and moved forward towards modernity until America was formed.
01:09:24.260So as a Muslim, that spiritual legitimacy, I as a spiritual human being, you know, it's interesting.
01:09:30.540The Islamists will publish things about me nationally and globally, but locally here in Arizona, they have a tough time doing it because I'm known in the community not only as a primary care doc, but as a medical ethicist who teaches an ethics program in the largest teaching institution here in Phoenix and have established credibility as a moral, ethical human being.
01:09:52.800And many people see that, know me as a man of faith, and that provides religious legitimacy.
01:09:57.760And then I say, you know what? On top of that, I don't deny the fact that we also have to debate the ideas. I don't get my ideas from my own vacuum. I've read scholars like Abdullah Naim, Abdul Karim Saroush, a Persian scholar that talks about liberty in Islam, Ashmawi from Egypt, Fatima Marnisi from Morocco who talks about Islam and democracy.
01:10:19.780I formed coalitions. I'm not alone. We've not only formed the Muslim reform movement, and you know, Ezra Nomani, Raheel Raza, you've interviewed many times, and then our coalition of people like Yasmin Muhammad and others. So it's not a movement by myself. It's a larger movement. But I also reject terms like Islamophobia.
01:10:40.540We want people to recognize that Islam doesn't have rights.
01:10:45.580Muslims do, but they use the term Islamophobia because they want to shut down free speech.
01:10:52.460They want to shut down criticism and call that blasphemy and ultimately prevent us Muslims from owning our own faith and having legitimacy.
01:11:01.500I used to debate imams all across the country.
01:11:04.260And then they realized they were losing miserably when they had a lay person who's not an imam, but yet understands the faith and the Koran and the scripture, debate them.
01:11:14.280They tried to demonize me and target me and actually use passages that recognized assassination and other things.
01:11:21.940And we just hunkered down and continued to debate them.
01:11:25.560And now they realize they're trying to stay away from me rather than deal with me.
01:11:28.600so so sudi you are you is this kind of like you know i was a cafeteria catholic i would pick and
01:11:37.420choose um can you actually hold to the quran um because there's a lot of stuff in it like you
01:11:45.700know there's a lot of stuff in the old testament that you know you don't hold to anymore um but
01:11:51.460can you hold to the quran and be you know not crazy you know not violent because there's a
01:12:01.400lot of stuff in the quran that there's been no reformation that's what you're trying to bring
01:12:05.800about there's been no reformation so it's all kind of enforced you as you say by like 90 percent of
01:12:12.040the imams that's that's the most important question is is are do the zooty jassers of the
01:12:18.600world sort of make up their fantasy faith? Or is it rooted in a new interpretation of the same
01:12:23.940scripture? We as Muslims only call Quran what's in Arabic, not the English translation everybody's
01:12:29.660reading on the internet. 99% of those translations are Saudi Wahhabi radical or Khomeinist Iranian
01:12:37.240type theocratic radical. My father translated the Quran. You can find it on Amazon. It's a
01:12:44.540modern translation that really helped me be the non-radicalized pro-american muslim that would
01:12:50.500only die for america and never die for jihad there are passages in there you can separate what's in
01:12:56.100the quran from what's historical versus what's for all times the prophet wore three hats one is as
01:13:02.640messenger one is as the head of a military and the other is the head of state we have to say that
01:13:07.240time in which the leader of a faith like abraham or moses was the head of a military or state
01:13:12.900is done. We no longer need a religious state. We need to have, just like we have modernization in
01:13:18.240medical and computer science, we need to recognize modernization in political science, which
01:13:24.520the best system in the planet is the American system. And if God wanted to tell us how to
01:13:30.680run government, he would have said so in the Koran, and there's nothing in the Koran about that.
01:13:36.320Yes, there's a lot of laws, but to me as a Muslim, when we raised our kids,
01:13:40.100all the laws in there are between God and a human being. So I need to live in a laboratory where I
01:13:45.560can decide not to drink because God tells me not to drink. He needs to know that I made that
01:13:50.720decision volitionally, sentiently as a human being, not because I was forced by the theocrats
01:13:56.760or coerced. So you can recognize that those laws apply to me personally. And, you know, all the
01:14:02.780child marriage stuff, et cetera, that I don't believe is in the Quran. It's not recognized
01:14:07.780specifically it's all from hadith most of that which is sayings of the prophet that 90 of which
01:14:14.100is garbage we need to say was made up and and not part of islam but the quran it's hard to say
01:14:20.100anyone's a muslim unless they recognize the arabic of the quran but the interpretation the translation
01:14:25.940is human it's not from god and that's what we need to debate so when you say you don't believe
01:14:32.340it's in the Quran. You know the Quran. It is either there or it's not. What do you mean by
01:14:37.540I don't believe it's there? Well, for example, the passage that says, you know, do not take
01:14:45.280Jews and Christians as friends. The word friends that's there is not friends. So there's also
01:14:50.260passages that allow Muslims to intermarry between Christianity and with Muslims and Christians and
01:14:55.720Jews. So if intermarriage is allowed, which is the holiest institution in our faith, how could
01:15:01.080it also say, don't take them as friends. Well, the Saudi Wahhabis intentionally put friends there
01:15:05.860in order to demonize and perpetuate anti-Semitic tropes. So that is not friends, it's Auliyat,
01:15:15.720which has to do with legal scholars. So just as in Catholicism, it talks about godparents. You
01:15:20.480would not want a non-Catholic to be the godparent to your child. Similarly, in Islam, there are
01:15:27.160passages that refer to specific, you know, familial legal things that relate to Islamic
01:15:32.300family laws, but rather not related to demonizing or saying that we have the only pathway to
01:15:37.900heaven. No, there are many passages that do not say that, that actually enforce the fact
01:15:43.760that Christians and Jews also will go to heaven, and it's not simply exclusive for Muslims.
01:15:48.360how does the average person know i mean we are seeing really dangerous stuff in our streets we
01:15:59.180are seeing you know we're seeing our our towns dearborn michigan it's like going to the middle
01:16:07.280east i mean that's not good that's not good um how how do you know who especially in a religion
01:16:15.300where they say they are permitted to lie
01:16:39.060I was very close to Charlie Kirk, God bless him,
01:16:43.120and have known the family for a long time, and Charlie, before he passed, was in Europe speaking
01:16:49.500actually quite a bit about the threat of Islam and what it was bringing to the West and the
01:16:55.120challenge it was for Westernism and Americanism. And yet, as much as he and I might have disagreed
01:17:01.800about some of the Islamic interpretations, he recognized that he trusted me with his life,
01:17:07.120And similarly, I think many people out there should look at Muslims that they know and start to ask them, challenge them, treat them with equality and respect to say, you know what, I respect you to the point that I'm not just going to do interfaith based on Kumbaya and what we share, but what are the differences?
01:17:25.240What happens if you became a majority here? That's how you test if a Muslim is here to conquest, and also their character, their integrity. These people that lie to seek evangelical Islam infiltration and conquest to the West, as you so rightly said, they're going to manipulate that in any opportunity they have.
01:17:50.920So you can tell when people are lying, just like politicians, you can tell when they're speaking up and making things up.
01:17:58.580And I've been consistent on this for 20, 30 years, my entire life.
01:18:02.920Remember in 2008, you said I was the radical, right?
01:18:06.080And you're still right. You're still right.
01:18:09.320The mainstream Islam are the conquest folks that are coming here to destroy the West.
01:18:15.380They see the world divided into the world of Islam, where Muslims are a majority, and the world of war.
01:18:20.920the land of war. We are in the land of war here where Muslims are a minority. We need an offense.
01:18:26.920All I'm telling your listeners is that that offense strategically needs to empower to use
01:18:33.840Muslims that are on our side, on Americanism, as the head of that spear, because then we will
01:18:39.820have a seat at that table, just like now the IRGC is being destroyed. When our military operations
01:18:45.760stop, a peaceful Middle East means the rising up of a post-monarchy, post-theocracy Iran,
01:18:53.880which will hopefully begin to share our values. And that's the best anti-nuclear program. That's
01:18:59.520the best end of forever wars that we could ever have, is allowing that nascent, organic,
01:19:06.760anti-theocratic movement to rise up and then allow them to start and just start debating them.
01:19:11.680Because there's a lot of scholars that I've studied and we need to talk about is don't give us a pass.
01:19:17.220I can talk about what are the roots, the academic foundational roots of the Islam that I believe in that is compatible.
01:19:25.720And we have argued and done apologetics for in the 21st century to begin to broaden that foundation of what is Islam and what is not.
01:19:34.960Zudi, you rightly reminded me what I said about you, that you are the radical in Islam. This is radicalized Islam, what Zudi is talking about. And, you know, I not only would have your back because I've known you for so long and I've watched you for so long, but I know you'd have my back and I would gladly fight battles with you side by side.
01:19:59.180um the the one thing that i would like you just to share the threats that you get this is how i
01:20:07.820know zuti is on the right side the threats that you and your family have gone through um because
01:20:15.320you know when you say things like hey 90 of the imams are radical they don't like that
01:20:23.020Well, the cost, I have to tell you, pales in comparison to the comfort of freedom that my family lives in here. My parents escaped Assad's Syria and my family that's still remaining there was dodging chemical weapons on one side with ISIS on the other.
01:20:42.320And, you know, I'm living in the comfort of a home in Arizona.
01:20:46.620And, yes, there are imams here that spoke out and said we have enemies within that pretend to be Muslim and basically declared me an apostate and cited Quranic scripture in which it says, you know, the enemies of Islam need to be killed.
01:21:00.120You know, that's their interpretation of that.
01:21:02.280There have been websites in Syria during the revolution that had web pages that talk about my family as the Zionist, you know, part of the Zionist conspiracy.
01:21:10.720And my kids, when they were younger, had to have joint counterterrorism force people, making sure that they were safe in their schools here because we didn't know where the threats were coming from.
01:21:21.820And then there's the social ostracization.
01:21:23.840In my book, A Battle for the Soul of Islam, one of the chapters I talk about is tribalism.
01:21:28.240You know, you can't reform a faith that is based in collectivism and tribalism and shuns people who fight the norm, who critically think, who challenge authority and speak truth to power. You know, that's the tribalism, the pathology that happens. And my wife has suffered from that as she gets pushed away. It was amazing.
01:21:50.660I was leading the national conversation for two decades about the evil of the Assad regime.
01:21:57.160And finally, the revolution comes to an end.
01:22:00.820And I say thanks to Israel, because Israel did the final acts that caused the end of the Assad regime.
01:22:07.880And and they celebrated the end of the Assad regime locally.
01:22:12.080And the Syrian community that used to thank me for my courage for speaking out against Assad said that, well, your family can come, but Zutty can't come.
01:22:20.080And my wife's like, what? That makes no sense. So this is this is the type of ostracization and tribalism that happens and doesn't recognize the truth of what we're fighting and what their and what their allies within the community and within this country and Israel and all of those who believe in freedom have been fighting for for so long.
01:23:02.200Let me tell you about American financing.
01:23:03.880If you're worried about those upcoming credit card bills, you're not alone.
01:23:07.740That's one of the things that might keep you up at night, knowing that mostly what you're paying for goes right straight to interest, because that's the part that really gets people.
01:36:10.420But the worst case scenario that the British were worried about back in the day is happening today with us, just in a different way. Their worst case was occupation. Enemy occupation. A breakdown of society, of courage, most importantly, loss of hope.
01:36:30.820i contend that's what we're living through right now and not not occupation from one enemy but
01:36:39.940dozens they're not marching in uniform they're entering through screens through noise through
01:36:46.340constant pressure even the enemy that whispers doubt and fear in your mind while you're laying
01:36:52.800in bed at night trying to get to sleep it is occupying you the reason why we're having a
01:36:58.880hard time fighting this war is because you can't see it there's no battlefield it's in your head
01:37:03.320there's no single front line there's no air raid sirens there's you know no bombs going off this
01:37:10.660is why it's so hard to fight this one when you're physically under attack your friends are dying
01:37:15.700the streets are on fire buildings are being destroyed every day day after day everyone knows
01:37:21.440it. And just like September 11th, it bonds people. It knits them together in a shared
01:37:28.780struggle. We don't even agree on the struggle. We're fighting a war that is easily deniable,
01:37:36.560a war where no leader has even clearly identified what we fight and who we fight.
01:37:42.340Our families are being destroyed from outside and inside as we fight our own loved ones for
01:37:49.320some strange reason. There are no bombs, but make no mistake, every day we are fighting
01:37:58.420information that is overwhelming, lies and technology that's so well-crafted now, you
01:38:04.300can literally no longer believe what you see or hear. Narratives that divide, economic
01:38:12.900pressure that's just grinding you every day. A generation growing up without any kind of clear
01:38:20.280foundation. A culture that has defined and redefined and then defined and redefined reality
01:38:26.720over and over again until you don't even know what to trust. You don't even know what's true or real.
01:38:35.320And perhaps the worst of all, more and more of us surrender to the enemy of despair and apathy.
01:38:42.900I make the case we are living in occupied territory right now,
01:38:49.260but instead of land, it's attention, of thought, of inner life.
01:49:04.660Younger generations, we assume to all be uniformly left, are fragmenting politically, especially around immigration and especially around national identity, etc., etc., in Europe.
01:49:25.660It looks like things are changing there.
01:49:27.220Also, a legal settlement this week with Meta forces key federal agencies now to stop pressuring social media to remove or suppress lawful speech.
01:49:45.040The agencies at the center of this, they were in regular contact with these platforms like Facebook and YouTube and others saying, you got to stop this, got to silence these people.
01:49:55.980all of the internal communications were revealed in court and the officials weren't just flagging
01:50:03.060illegal content you know this story they were nudging companies to take down post i wouldn't
01:50:08.100even say they were nudging they were strong-arming these companies and saying you'll have a problem
01:50:11.900with the white house if you don't and most of it was around you know covid policy debate but
01:50:17.020election integrity claims um dissenting viewpoints from you know credentialed experts all of these
01:50:25.520things so now no more coercing platforms to remove lawful speech coordinating censorship
01:50:31.600through back channels or using third parties to bypass the first amendment limits those are now
01:50:37.360clearly uh ruled on that doesn't mean you know they're going to stop as soon as they get in
01:50:43.680they'll be doing the same thing you know but we've been debating this for a very long time and now
01:50:50.420it's finally here it was a big win yesterday also another i guess revolution i mean
01:51:00.780scandal exposed according to intelligence reports now under internal review u.s agencies
01:51:13.960have intercepted communications involving ukrainian officials discussing a potential
01:51:19.680plan to route money towards the u.s presidential re-election effort who would have seen this coming
01:51:26.920except oh i don't know you and me we talked about this over and over again where is all this money
01:51:32.540going where is all of this money going you don't think that money is being aimed back directly
01:51:38.440here of course it is well tulsi gabbard uh reportedly requested a full audit of the records
01:51:45.280from guess where usa id and determined and they're trying to determine whether any federal funds were
01:51:54.500actually moved if the taxpayer dollars were involved and whether the warrant you know this
01:52:01.700warrants you know criminal investigation and criminal referrals to the fbi the answer on that
01:52:07.300one is of course it does but will they do it probably not um this is a really significant
01:52:13.740thing they're never going to get to the bottom of it my guess is but it's deeper than what you're
01:52:19.580reading about now a couple of other stories um in philadelphia the district attorney there
01:52:25.560larry krasner isn't he a soros person ricky can you look that up i think he's a soros person
01:52:31.040he just warned ice agents assisting with ti tsa operations during the staffing shortages
01:52:38.280this is what he actually said um if you violate local laws or civil rights i will put you in
01:52:46.660handcuffs well here's my statement back to larry good yes that's your job he's a torsoros guy
01:52:55.300yeah that's your job they should go in handcuffs if they're breaking the law or violating civil
01:53:02.860rights but let me add this larry if you use your power for political purposes and you try to
01:53:12.640obstruct the federal agencies from doing their laws they're doing their work you should be put
01:53:19.960in handcuffs this is a growing problem we are you know when different layers of government
01:53:28.980start treating each other as adversaries you you don't really have a nation you're back to a
01:53:34.580a system that was almost like the um uh the the what was the confederation of states or what did
01:53:43.500we call it the ah shoot what is wrong with me i what is happening to me it's friday right yeah
01:53:50.360no it's thursday um you know our first system of government before we had the constitution
01:53:55.540um you know that that wasn't strong enough we had 13 states 13 colonies that all wanted to do their
01:54:03.000own thing and so we we had federalism but there was no government that would hold enough of the
01:54:09.040power to hold it all together. Uh, and that's really what we're, we're doing. We're, we're
01:54:13.920going back to something that doesn't work. It just doesn't work. This is a really important
01:54:19.840warning sign. There is another dividing line that is growing and it's growing larger every day.
01:54:26.360We're becoming schizophrenic. We really are. Uh, the Boston fraud case, the woman from BLM that,
01:54:33.800you know boston tonian you know person of the year what a surprise she was defrauding people
01:54:39.980um embezzling funds from blm gee who would have seen that one coming by the way despite her
01:54:47.740conviction no prison time for her just ordered to repay the funds and i'm sure that would happen
01:54:54.160to a trump supporter or you know frankly any average no-name american you know just a plumber
01:55:00.420and speaking of plumbers do we have the was it jimmy kimmel let me play something that jimmy
01:55:07.340kimmel just said um go ahead pick this up please really might not be with us much longer but
01:55:14.500don't worry trump's got a whole new generation of thinkers lined up including his newly confirmed
01:55:21.360secretary of homeland security mark wayne chuck mike bruce dave melon mullen maybe melon's better
01:55:29.020He is the now former senator of Oklahoma.
01:55:32.180Before he was elected to the Senate, Mark Wayne Mullen was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber.
01:59:24.800He wrote a piece for Compaq magazine called The Lost Generation.
01:59:28.760It's about an entire generation of white male millennials who just entered the workforce just in time for DEI to slam the door in their face.
02:04:32.020Um, you can only go so far, um, because it's well-funded and very good, but somebody does not want us talking about the things that we're talking about.
02:04:42.380And it's weird because it started when we started talking about Iran, uh, and started, we, it started, I think our first day was with the, with the crown prince of Iran.
02:04:53.160Um, they try to take us out, uh, on that day and did a pretty good job on that day.
02:04:58.680And we keep morphing and they keep morphing.
02:05:01.960Um, but, um, we will stay a step ahead of them.
02:05:05.160And again, thank you for welcoming in the resources of the United States of America.
