Speaker 1 (00:00):
Folks, we are in the kinetic part of the Third

(00:02):
World War.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
We have to get focused. We can't let the Mitch
McConnell's and all these people that brought us here with
policies that have led us to disaster, that have allowed
China to actually do a flex on the on the
Think about that, everything the United States of America did
on a war, they never wanted to get involved in

(00:25):
everything we did, all the blood, all the sacrifice, all
the all the resources, all the toughness, the.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Fire bombing of Japan, the bombing of Germany, the submarine warfare,
the landings in North Africa, Normandy, all of it, the
guys who fought in China, of which President Trump said, hey,
when you just give us a little.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
You know, a little thank you for that.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
Of all the sacrifice, they choose the eightieth anniversary to
get in your grill and convince the world that was
our victory and the Americans are nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
So we're in it and we don't have a choice.
We have to shut them down now.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
They're an existential threat to the Laobaijing, the folks in China.
They're a threat to East Asia, They're a threat to
all our allies and their threat to the people of
the United States, what they've done in this country to
co op.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Wall Street, to co opt the tech oligarchs.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
And that's what America first is putting our citizens, our sovereignty,
our country first.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
If we do that, we're going to win. There's no
doubt we're going to win.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
But if we flinch on that at any time, we
could lose this because an individual like Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Comes along maybe once in a country's history.

Speaker 5 (01:45):
We've had three Washington, Lincoln and Trump, with all his imperfection,
in fact, his imperfections, his rising above his improfessions is
his true greatness.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Just okay, but hang on, just do the timing. Here's
what the time is going to be. We passed the bill,
we get more money, we start standing up sheriffs, starts
standing up ice, We start standing up all of it,
and build the logistics, change the camps, everything boom. We're
doing that from the summer twenty twenty five. Right. We
then go you stand it up more and we start

(02:17):
the one point six million final deportation orders and then
the other two million of as they burn off on
the on the phony, on the on the phony permission,
we gave him to be here. Right, that's all coming
essentially in a year called twenty twenty six, and what
happens in November that year, twenty twenty six, the midterm elections,

(02:39):
and what you're going to have if you think the intensity.
This is what I just want the audience to understand,
because we're prepping the battlefield here, folks, the media attention
on the savages that President Trumps commander in chief sent
out of here in the court cases. And now you've

(02:59):
got a judge in Washington, d C. Who's out of control,
who has found President Trump or excuse me, his advisors
may be guilty of criminal contempt and him coming in
the middle of a decision as commander in chief. And
I might add, folks, take your number two pernts Lint
right down. Bennon went to prison for criminal contempt. That's

(03:20):
what the judge did yesterday. They're coming. They're coming as
hard as you've ever seen anything come in your life.
So if you want to deport the ten million illegal
aliens in this country, that have to go, or you
don't have a country, and you're not gonna have a
concept of a country, your sovereignty, your territorial integrity, anything
about that. And we know that working class Hispanics and

(03:44):
working class Blacks and working class whites want this more
than anything. If you don't do that, and we're going
to hit a firestorm, folks. I said this back in Pinehurst,
North Carolina, in a speech I gave at the North
Carolina Country Club two years ago. The convergence of budget
cuts for social programs and the conversions of the deportations.

(04:07):
When it would happen in twenty five, and it looks like
it's gonna happen now in late twenty five or early
twenty six. It's something people ain't prepared for. They're gonna
have the cameras everywhere. You're gonna have to You're gonna
have to have a spine of steel. And besides Trump,
show me these guys up on Capitol Hills got a
spine of steel. I got Tom Homan, I got Donald Trump,

(04:27):
I got Ben'sman, I got Christy Noman. I got a handful.
I don't how many. I'm I got no more. Tom
ten Crados, who I saw back in Colorado, was out there.
So Bensman, walk me through. You see what's coming, and
this is going to be. This is either going to
have a country, You're not gonna have a country. Bottom line,
they all gotta go. You gotta do it humanly, you

(04:50):
have to do it with respect and dignity. But they
gotta go. And if we don't want the Chinese companies
party to be competitive, there are methods to do that.
Number One, you don't let you and some Wong talk
cand of selling high end chips. There are a couple
of years behind us right now. There's certain aspects they
may be ahead. But if you cut them off from
equity capital, you cut them off from debt capital, cut

(05:10):
them off from all the capital markets in the United States,
you cut them off to how to build the ecosystem.
What I mean by the ecosystem the training, the know how,
the expertise, the knowledge, training these Chinese engineers in our
own colleges, and then go back to compete with us.
Who does that? Who does that? Would the Chinese do
that for us? I know they wouldn't. Wuld the Chinese

(05:31):
ever sell these chips, so they if they had, we
didn't know they wouldn't.

Speaker 6 (05:34):
So the message that is being projected behind us right
here right now, it says, don't let Ai buy the government.
It's going it's sequencing through and hopefully many thousands, tens
of thousands of people will see this stop sacks AI
preemption as this message is going out, as it's going

(05:56):
out to the war room, posse, what do you hope
to see tomorrow and what do you hope to see
long term in this fight against these companies and the
people who are facilitating it here in Washington, d C.

Speaker 7 (06:07):
Sure.

Speaker 8 (06:07):
I mean, we're looking for common sense legislation that would
protect kids.

Speaker 7 (06:11):
We're looking for.

Speaker 8 (06:12):
Safety by design and no preemption that is a non starter.
I would encourage all of your viewers to call their
congress person tomorrow morning ask them to support a strong
COOSA and stand against preemption.

Speaker 9 (06:26):
This is not about speech, it's not about deplatforming. This
is about power politics and what Charlie Kirk believed in
to the core of his being that America makes decisions
for America, and Americans make decisions for America.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
That was Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 9 (06:45):
That's why the hell, Why the hell do you think
they assassinate him?

Speaker 10 (06:49):
Why do they put the poison all over this place?

Speaker 9 (06:52):
Why they mock at ridicul James Carvel said yesterday that
Rob Reiner's done one hundred times more than Charlie Kirk.
They hate Charlie Kirk because Charlie Kirk brought victories and
with victory after victory after victory, that's when we can
re christianize this country.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
What was Charlie Kirk's lesson that we are Christian nation
that got off the rails.

Speaker 9 (07:13):
We have to re christianize this country. You're in the
shadows of a giant, not just an American patriot and
an American hero. Charlie Kirk is a Christian martyr, and

(07:38):
Charlie Kirk is a Christian saint.

Speaker 10 (07:42):
That is your.

Speaker 9 (07:43):
Legacy that you take up the day I went into prison.
The day I went to prison, we passed the show
to Charlie Kirk, as we did oftentimes in the three
and a half years that Charlie Pasobic and I had
that block of real America's voice. And what Charlie said.
I said to Charlie, next man up. Charlie said, I
got it. Next man up? Are you next man up?

(08:03):
Are you gonna fill the shoes of Charlie Kirk? Do
you have the stones to do it, get the guts
to do it? Ask yourself that because I'll tell you what.
That's what's gonna you in this room right here are
going to decide whether we win in twenty six. And
if we don't win in twenty six, they're gonna bring
holy hell down on us. We have to win. Charlie

(08:26):
Kirk knew that and you know that. Thank you very much.

Speaker 10 (08:30):
Next man up, So.

Speaker 11 (09:36):
Don't make correct corn song so today off so we

(10:14):

Speaker 15 (11:53):
Song.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
This is the crimal scream of a dying regime. Pray
for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people.
You've not got a free shot. And all these networks
lying about the people, the people have had a belly
full of it. I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you're trying to do everything in the world
to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

(12:43):
It's going to happen. And where do people like that
go to share the big line?

Speaker 7 (12:48):
Mega media?

Speaker 1 (12:49):
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of
these people had a conscience.

Speaker 9 (12:55):
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my
purpose If that answer is to save my country, This
country will be saved.

Speaker 11 (13:05):
War Room.

Speaker 7 (13:05):
Here's your host, Stephen Kba.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
It's Wednesday, thirty one December, the year of our Lord,
twenty twenty five, and of course that is last time
we'll be saying that the twenty twenty five This is
the last day of the year, our traditional New Year's
Eve special where we're going to go through the victories
and defeats, particularly where we use the big muscles in
twenty twenty five a historic year, the first year of

(13:35):
the return of President Trump's second term and the days
of thunder, the flooding the zone. But as you saw
right there, man, that's pretty good. You would think that
was ripped from this morning's headlines, was not. That is
the things we've talked about and discussed and worked on
in your victories over this past year. So we've got
Ben Harnwell in Rome's going to join us, head of

(13:57):
our International Bureau, and of course our own day Brett
rydenshotgun with me this morning because we're going to go
through the year, but do it as a prep for
the springboard for what's to come in the coming year. Today,
you know, Tehran is in absolute chaos. As I've told
you time and time again, don't need to go in

(14:17):
and bomb them, don't need to send troops in. If
you just pay attention in Jerusalem and focus on what
I cut them off economically, they'll overthrow the mulas themselves.
They're in the streets today. Of course last night I
think they were actually firing on the crowds. In Minneapolis,
the Samaians are bringing kids back, scrambling to bring kids
back to the to these phony childcare centers. And in

(14:42):
New York City they're preparing for a the inauguration of
the mayor, and for the first time in history, they're
going to use the Quran. I think I see a
common theme there. Short commercial break. We're going to be
back in the ward New Year's Eves special Just a moment.

Speaker 15 (15:01):
Speed forecast and stool Where can speed forecast the day?

Speaker 12 (15:18):
So so my dear falls.

Speaker 11 (15:37):
Feet come.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Come less. Yes, so.

Speaker 11 (15:53):
We too, Congress were full see.

Speaker 12 (16:21):
Full song gain f.

Speaker 11 (16:38):
Com se at fall.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
Song.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
See can't have more contrast. We want to have a
little contrast to start the morning that was opening with
the Corol Scholars of University College Dublin. A woman's contingent
can't get more beautiful than that. And of course Robert
Shaw back in the nineteen fifties and sixties, these amazing

(17:18):
corrals put together by so many different composers, but Robert
Shaw one of my favorites right there. So compare the
female version in the male both. I'm pretty great, right
ringing out the old and ringing in the new. Here
in the war room this morning, we're live Wednesday, thirty
one December, Year of Our Lord twenty twenty five. A

(17:39):
lot of news and a lot of news revolving around
one topic. Ben Harnwell. On ninth January, we're going to
go to Texas, the great Stay of Texas, and we're
going to have an event. We're bringing over Gert Wilders,
I'm going to be there others and we're going to
spend I think a couple of days down at Texas
meeting people, helping to organize, or I should say not

(18:01):
helping organize, but driving forward the organizations. The organizing is
going on. It's about this topic of Islamification, and you
can see it taking place in Texas, and we're seeing
the results of what's happened in Europe over the last
couple of decades and it's not pretty. In fact, it's

(18:23):
very scary seeing Paris has fallen, London has fallen. Tomorrow,
the Quran is going to be used for the first
time in the city's history. As you guys remember, let's
go back to the combat history of Christmas, where we
go through the found that first Christmas of the United
States in seventeen seventy six, and we talk about the

(18:44):
centrality of New York City in our revolution and how
it was probably the most key, so more important even
than Boston and Philadelphia. It was the center. It was
the key that picked the lock and fought over or
fought around forever. Founded by the Dutch and then the
American and now a Ugandan Marxist jihadist is going to

(19:07):
take the office tomorrow on a Quran. Ben Harnwell, the
reason we're going to Texas is to stop that happening
in the Great State of Texas, because there's actually a
very well thought through plan by the forces of Islam
in this world. And you're seeing this is this year,
you start to see it perk up. You know, we've
been all over it, but it's coming to not coming

(19:28):
to a head, but getting more and more in your grill,
as we can see up in Minneapolis. Your thoughts about
all of it, Sir, you've been particularly focused on this,
like Raheem has for many, many, many years. Your thoughts are, what.

Speaker 16 (19:43):
Is it forty eight mosques that they're opening or have
opened down in Texas what might once have been called
Bible belt and not becoming Kalan Belt. I was particularly
interested to see the New York Times if then viden
if you've got that article, you might splash it up
on the screen as as I'm talking. I'd be grateful

(20:04):
for that. And the Times, I think it's always the
thanks famous guys. That's that's the I love the way
they frame this, Steve. They're they're, they're, they're, they're falling
over themselves to say how natural and appropriate it is
that Mamdani will be the first mayor to swear in

(20:24):
with his hand on the Qur'an. And or, let me
put it, you called him a Ugandan Marxist jihadist, as
the New York Times put it in slightly differently, they
said mister Mandani's faith was a defining feature of his campaign.
Folks will get the link out. You know, you've got
to read this article because it illustrates everything that's wrong

(20:47):
with the Left and just how closely integrated they are.
The nexus between the left and the Koran. I know
Dave Bratt is waiting the wings. He's going to come
on and say a few things as well. There is
something fundamentally and we can expand on this in the show. Right,
it is appropriate that man Danny does put his hand
on the Koran because that's programmatic of his intentions. Is

(21:13):
this is represent something new to If they're not sneaking
this in anymore, this is full frontal, in your face.
They are telling you what they are doing now as
they are doing it. There's no more duplicity. Look I
say this, you know, we said this on the war Room.
You know for for many years. There is and you know,

(21:33):
as separate notionally as the left and his lbg Q
agenda is from Islamia, as much as the left is
attached to feminism, which is not part of the Islamic agenda.
Obviously have all these issues on which there is an antagonism.

(21:55):
The most fundamental point between the two of them is
the alignment in the opposition the Jesus Christ and his kingdom.
That is what unites the left and Islam. That's why
they're so compatible right around the right, across the worst.
You see this affinity between the Left and Islam. It's
for that reason. It's fundamentally, Steve, history is driven by

(22:20):
supernatural factors, right, the Holy Spirit, the battle between it
Ephesians six twelve, that our fight is not against flesh
and blood. Right, there's a spiritual dynamic to human history.
And you see that in the ever more avert coming
together of the Left and Islam. And you can see

(22:41):
this with the placing of the hand on the Kuran
tomorrow by New York's mayor. It's appropriate that he does that.
They're telling you what they're doing. The response, Steve, in
your leading the way in Texas next week, is what
we're going to do about this. From this scenario we've
been led in via our own complacency and our own

(23:03):
willingness to be distracted over many decades. Now the fight
is taking back. And perhaps I'll go into more detail
tomorrow on this on the on the New Year's Show,
but I would suggest that the approach for every Christian
who is opposed to what they are doing is to pray,
to discern and then to act and do everything within

(23:26):
one's power, within the realm that Christ has put us within,
which the Holy Spirit has put us, to affect that
Gospel change in our immediate lives. Uh, that's what we
can do. And I think that's what you're going to
be doing in January.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
In the next block, in fact, I want to give
enough runway for Brat. Bratt's got a great way to
compare and contrast us. It's for this audience and looking
back over this year. And this is why we say,
and in fact, at the bottom of this block we've
had traditionally for the last I think year or two

(24:05):
Modern day Holy War Bye Nicole McGrady, because I just
think it's a fantastic song. This is even if you're
not particularly religious, even if you're not spiritual. As Ben
said that this is a bigger, bigger drama that's playing
out on a bigger scale. And that's why I continue
to say, Donald Trump, for all his faults, and look
this year, you know, has it been perfect. No, it's

(24:29):
never going to be perfect for the simple reasons that
these are human institutions and we're all humans. But directionally
it's pretty damn good with some big exceptions. We understand that,
and that's why the warm posse is here to make
sure that, you know, people can stay focused and we
can you know, hammer things out. But this is providential.

(24:50):
This is why the return of Trump in twenty twenty
fourth that amazing comfort behind victory which was on your shoulders,
the grassroots, and that's why you're going to drive things
more than ever. And these massive fights really about the
salvation of Christendom, the Christian West, and by two forces won,
this massive force of Islam right with the money and

(25:13):
power behind it, and also transhumanism, which kind of inassurably
are blinked, and it's a huge fight before us. We've
had many, many, many victories here, right, and all of
them haven't been massive victories, and not all going to
be massive victories. Victory begets victory, and that's why you,

(25:35):
this working class and middle class audience are to hammer
through twenty twenty six. I've said time and time again,
I believe that President Trump, the economic plan of Bessett
and Trump is really going to start kicking in. I
realize everybody haven't seen the benefits of this, and that
economic plan is not perfect, far from perfect. There are

(25:56):
many aspects of it that I don't particularly care for,
but generally indirectionally about bringing manufacturing jobs here back, high
value added manufacturing jobs. When that starts to kick in,
as I said, they're going to get more and more
vicious and the buried leader. What Ben Harnwell just said
is that they're not hiding it anymore. They're not hiding

(26:17):
it anymore. They're not trying to sneak in here. On
Cat's pause. They're coming in and rolling in up in
your grill. And the question is going to be are
you going to defend this and start pushing back and
making sure that our country is what it was founded on,
a Christian country, part of the judere Christian West underpinning
is our civilization, but a Christian nation. That is going

(26:40):
to be one of the big fights before in twenty
twenty six between transhumanism in the Islamification of the United
States of America. Short commercial break, Dave Bratt's got a
thing or two to say about this. We'll have a
lot of runway in the next segment of the war ruining.

Speaker 17 (27:00):
Highly anticipated inauguration will kick off just moments after the
New Year's eve ball drop. The thirty four year old
democratic socialists will be surrounded by progressive heavyweights throughout the day.
Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocazio Cortes, and Letitia James.

Speaker 7 (27:15):
Gloria Pasmino is out front with the latest.

Speaker 18 (27:19):
On January first, I will be sworn in as the
mayor of New York City.

Speaker 13 (27:25):
Zora Mamani, the thirty four year old Democratic socialist who
stunned a political world in November, will be sworn in
as New York City's one hundred and twelfth mayor at
the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day. Mamnani, who
will be New York's first Muslim and South Asian American mayor,
will be introduced by progressive Congresswoman Alexandra Alcasio Cortes and

(27:47):
sworn in by Senator Bernie Sanders. Mamnani, who previously served
in the State Assembly and once moonlighted as a rapper.

Speaker 7 (27:56):
We'll take over the.

Speaker 13 (27:57):
Reigns of America's largest city, overseasing three hundred thousand public
employees and.

Speaker 7 (28:02):
A one hundred and sixteen billion dollar budget.

Speaker 18 (28:05):
I will fight for a city that works for you,
that is affordable for you, that is safe for you.

Speaker 13 (28:11):
Mamnani's win against former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary,
shocked the political establishment.

Speaker 11 (28:17):
The nine was not our ninth.

Speaker 13 (28:20):
He cruised to victory again in November with promises to
make the city affordable for the working class.

Speaker 18 (28:26):
They are promises to freeze the rent, to make buses
fast and free, to deliver universal childcare.

Speaker 13 (28:32):
To pay for his ambitious agenda, Mambani wants to raise
taxes on wealthy residents and ask Governor Kathy Hulkel has
so far rejected, but the governor, heading into her own
re election year in twenty twenty six, has said she'll
work with the incoming mayor.

Speaker 19 (28:47):
He and I have had many meetings individually and with
our staff to find a pass forward, something that's reasonable
that we can get started on universal.

Speaker 13 (28:58):
Childcare at Mamani, who has called President Trump a fascist,
says he is willing to work.

Speaker 7 (29:03):
With him if it will help his agenda.

Speaker 13 (29:05):
Last month, he traveled to DC for a high stakes
meeting with Trump in the Oval office, who went from
calling Mamdani a lunatic to this, we.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Agree and a lot more than I would have thought.
I want him to do it, ray Jo.

Speaker 13 (29:17):
And will help them do Trump even reportedly remarked, Wow,
you are even better looking in person than you are
on TV.

Speaker 7 (29:25):
So far, mam Nani has made appointments to New.

Speaker 13 (29:27):
York City's core service agencies, including keeping NYPD Commissioner Jessica
Tish in charge of the department.

Speaker 18 (29:34):
I will demand excellence from my team, from myself, and
also I will ensure that we create the conditions where
that excellence is possible to deliver on.

Speaker 7 (29:43):
But some of his hires have garnered controversy.

Speaker 13 (29:45):
A day after naming his Director of Appointments, mam Nani
accepted her resignation after it was revealed she had posted
a series of anti Semitic posts online more than a
decade ago.

Speaker 18 (29:56):
We are currently underway at making changes in our vetting process.

Speaker 13 (29:59):
As he prepared to take office. Mambani is also getting
a major real estate upgrade. He and his wife, Rama
Duwaji will leave their one bedroom, twenty three hundred dollars
a month apartment in Queens and move into Gracie Mansion.
Mamdani will be sworn in during a private midnight ceremony
at the old now abandoned City Hall subway station. A
public inauguration is scheduled for the afternoon planned in part

(30:22):
by a star studied committee including children's YouTuber Miss Rachel
an actress Cynthia Nixon.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
And it'll do that on the Quran. As I said,
the National Conservative speech I gave, I think it was
back in June live in July, the Israel First crowd
that brought you a that brought you a two state solution.
You know, they had this thing the other day about

(30:53):
what went on in the mar Lago in Netnia. Who's
making the argument, oh, will never agree to a two
state solution? Yo, dude, what do you think has happened
in a gaza?

Speaker 12 (31:02):
Right now?

Speaker 1 (31:03):
There's kind of this separation from reality. You got Qatar
that's got money in everywhere, including the New York City's
public school system. You've got to Qatar underwriting it, and
the Turks are going to provide security. That's a two
state solution. That's a Palestinian state. As I said, don't

(31:24):
focus on bombing Tehran, don't focus on sucking doing a
regime change war from the top, decapitating the top, and
having America get involved in another another endless war in
the Middle East. And if you watched Pasovics specials this week,
they were breathtaking about the Iraq War and about how

(31:46):
we got sucked into other Middle East wars. We're tired
of it. It's irrelevant, as I said at the time
and told these guys, what's relevant is what's happening in
New York City. And so now we have the Israel
first crowd has visit upon us a two state solution
in Israel, and this is why I argue we have
to have a third state. We have to have a

(32:07):
Christian state. We're going to actually be bringing people on
starting on Friday and Saturday to discuss that. We have
to do that. And number two, this mess and this
is a huge, huge, huge wound in the United States.
And if you connect what's happening in Minneapolis with what's

(32:29):
happening in New York City with what's happening in Texas,
exactly what I told this conference of neocons in Washington,
d C.

Speaker 15 (32:39):
Back.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
You know, they're talking about national conservatives. We're popular. It's
all upfront, it's all afront for neocons, and they should
be ashamed of themselves of how they've left this world
right now, of which you have to fix. You this audience,
We're gonna have to fix this. We're gonna have to
fix it. We're not going to have a country. Dave Bratt,
you've got some you've got some lots about this, sir.

(33:01):
You've got runway in the floors, your sir.

Speaker 20 (33:05):
Yeah, thanks, Steve, Yeah, not happy about this.

Speaker 14 (33:08):
The New York Times, as we've gone over on this
show for years, has just been constantly putting down Evangelicals, Protestants, Catholics,
on and on and on, and yet in today's New
York Times, you know, Mondami will be the first NYC
mayor to use the Koran. That is swearing in I'm
gonna flesh out with the New York Times saying there's

(33:29):
no way they can defend Actually, when they're hanging.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Hang on, let me hang on, hang I'm gonna turner
where you do it. But Laura lumer I got to
think to her early this morning. She put up this, ye,
she says New York Times gushes, gushes, yeah, yes, the audience,
We've made it so you can read it. You must
read this. They're glazing Mandami. They're glazing the Quran. They're
great glazing Islam. And this is the paper of record

(33:56):
in their country, in this country, they are gushing all
it's signing you will want to throw up as you
read this piece. Dave Brett at Chruice.

Speaker 14 (34:04):
Yeah, and it's shocking what they've admitted, mister mom Donnie
will join a small group of prominent elected officials in
the US to use a Quran for their swearing in.
Keith Ellison, Minnesota's Attorney General, became one of the first
American elected officials to put his hand on the book
when he's sworn into Congress in seven. Representative il Han
Omar in Minnesota, who succeeded mister Ellison, also put her

(34:28):
hand on a Quran for her swearing in. So this
tease up the basic question what is going on here?
The trend line is not looking good here for the
Kuran swearing in folks in government then second paragraph in
on this story. But for New York one hundred thousands
of Muslim residents who have taken pride and seeing one
of their own rise to the mayoralty Kama, his inauguration

(34:51):
will bring another special first rooted in tradition and piety. Boy,
that's what I'm going to dig in here just for
a few minutes. What tradition are you talking about? New
York Times and which piety. What are you saying?

Speaker 20 (35:07):
Please, we want to know this, right, we really do.

Speaker 14 (35:10):
We're serious on ideas. The Christian faith is rooted in knowledge.
So let me just get to a few contrasts. Right first,
the United States Constitution. Let's like that, the thing that
gives Muslims their minority rights in this country and the
full rights to everything, even rights they're making up. So
the US Constitution that the primary document used most by

(35:32):
our founders when they wrote the US Constitution was the
Book of Deuteronomy in.

Speaker 20 (35:37):
The Christian Bible and of course in the Hebrew scriptures.
The Quran.

Speaker 14 (35:43):
By contrast, show me the lines connect the dots between
the Koran and any significant document that shows me democracy
or human rights. And the plain fact is, if you
look and all of this is just mainstream right, no
one wants to talk about it because it's not polite.

Speaker 20 (35:57):
All political views are my own always.

Speaker 14 (36:00):
But there is no Muslim country that's a functioning full democracy.
There is no Islamic country that has a human rights
record at all, because human rights language does not exist
in the Islamic tradition. Back at about thirteen hundred, they
had some great philosophers. Now you cannot name a great
Islamic university. I wish there were. Let's go to other

(36:25):
And this is why the New York Times, it's not puzzling.
It's on purpose.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
Right.

Speaker 14 (36:29):
They do not like Christianity because it keeps them from
their globalist ambitions and big government ambitions.

Speaker 20 (36:36):
That's what is going on here.

Speaker 14 (36:39):
The Protestants believe in largely capitalism versus Mom Donnie's socialism.

Speaker 20 (36:44):
There's another contrast.

Speaker 14 (36:46):
In capitalism properly construed free markets, you have to make
what I want or I won't buy your product. It's
self regulating, it's self discipline. If you don't make good
stuff that I want to buy, you fail. In socialism,
it's you give me more stuff, period or otherwise. I'm
going to use the state. And the definition of the

(37:08):
state is that which has a monopoly on violence. I'm
going to use a monopoly on violence to force you
to overcome your liberties to your own money and to
your own freedom to give me what I want.

Speaker 20 (37:20):
That is socialism.

Speaker 14 (37:21):
So now you see why the New York Times and
the Power Crew it's being a little glossy about the
tradition and the piety of Islam. I skipped over the
major piece right off the bat in theology. Harnwell, it's
struck it just right. This is a war of spiritual battle,
and so you've got to do your theology New York Times. Allah,
the God in Islam is so sovereign that there can't

(37:44):
be a human rights tradition. It's totally top down. And
that's why when you see the logic, it's top down.
The major priority in Islam is complete submission to Allah.

Speaker 20 (37:56):
There is no bottom up populism.

Speaker 14 (37:59):
There's no bottom up revolution or populism in Islam anywhere
as there was when Christmas. We just got done with Christmas.
Jesus comes in the flesh as a baby.

Speaker 15 (38:10):
Right.

Speaker 14 (38:11):
And so the logic right off the bat, the initial
logic of the of the Christian theology versus the Islamic
theology is just stark. I want to say a little
bit more on this rights the rights theme. We gloss
over it like it's.

Speaker 20 (38:29):
Just you know, here Brad talking about the constitution rights.

Speaker 14 (38:31):
But our rights to liberty, right, it's the first one
life liberty, pursuit of happiness. Our rights are being infringed
by a group who wants to get rid of our
right to liberty. They want to force us. As I
just said on socialism. And I'll just close with one
of my pet peeves. The minority groups in this country

(38:52):
have been successful in getting the Bible out of KA
twelve schools. Well, why is that a problem, Because the
Bible is the document that gave us the minority rights
in the first place.

Speaker 20 (39:04):
That's the stunner, the very book that originates our right.

Speaker 14 (39:08):
Language of which, free market system, private property rights.

Speaker 20 (39:12):
And the rule of law, all of those come straight out.

Speaker 14 (39:16):
Of the Catholic tradition at thirteen hundreds and through our
founders and Protestants say at the founding, and so a
huge set of contrasts. I look forward to response by
the New York Times, and I'm dead serious. I would
love to hear how they adjudicate the piety and tradition
they refer to glowingly while they mock Evangelicals, Protestants and Catholics.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
They mock everything about the Christian faith everything, and they
look to undermine everything about the Christian faith. But there's
today they are in full view. They're glazing Islam and
glazing Mondamina. Though in dami situation me should be taken
head on. President Trump's got a different idea. President Trump's
the president, he's you know, he's the master and negotiator.

(40:00):
I think this thing has to be confronted head on
because you see his selections. He's got all these guys
lawyers who defended al Qaeda. It's very obvious you're going
to see the Islamification of New York City. And if
New York City falls, folks, the United States of America
has gone a big problem. Texas and New York City.

(40:21):
They're coming forward, and as Ben Harner Will said, they're
not coming in. On Cat's pause, This is up in
your grill, Up in your grill. Short commercial break. We'll
turn the warm in just a moment.

Speaker 8 (40:46):
God, welcome back.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
It's very appropriate. We have bagpipes because I'm gonna bring
Harnwell in so for edification as we come to this
end of this year and now you've got all this
explosion about the the Islamic problem in the United States,
and it's a problem. How is it Christianity as we

(41:52):
know it is the Gentile Church, not the Christian Jewish
part of it, for many reasons, didn't get traction. The
Church in Jerusalem did not get traction right, James with
the brother of Jesus historically was the head of that church.
But very quickly in the Apostolic Age there was a

(42:12):
shift to Rome and degreece into other places where there
were gentiles, and the gentile churches were it got traction.
How is it that that kind of what became the
Christian West out of Europe with all the art and
all the music and all the you know, celebration, the

(42:33):
Reformation trying to reform the church, the counter Reformation, trying
to reform the counter of the Reformation, all that, Why
was it Christian Europe that the elites failed to take
a stand. Because Europe is in dire straits right now.
I would say Paris has fallen, London has fallen, Brussels,
the horrible story overnight coming out of Brussels. So ben

(42:55):
as we look at this as a Christian nation here
based upon the Judeo Christian worst our civilization, how are
we supposed to look at this when you have a
perfect example of the elites in this country. That's where
this New York Times article is so important to read today.
The elites in this country are choosing a side right
in that article. They're choosing Islam. They talk about the

(43:16):
piety of it and how Solomon is and how you
know what a deep meaning it has for the Ugandan mundami.
If the elites are not prepared to defend it, is
it worth defending, sir.

Speaker 16 (43:29):
Well, I don't think Christian civilization is worth defending. I
don't know it's worth defending remotely. I'm interested in defending
Christian civilization because that's founded on the true revelation of
God to humanity through Jesus Christ and through the prophets,
through the Old Testament prophets before that. That is something
worth fighting for. Post Christian civilization in inverted commas is

(43:53):
just to make it up as you go along project,
which has been failing since the Enlightenment in the French Revolution. Look,
so many things you said in your question, right, let's
start off. I think we're going to need more than
one block to handle this, because you're also going to
get to the point of where we're going now. So firstly, firstly,

(44:14):
on the issue of the Jewish Church, I need to
push back on you from memory here. I need to
push back on you something it's not quite true to
say that that that that the Jewish element of the
Church collapsed pretty quickly as as as momentum went over
to the Gentile side via Saint Paul. Because really what

(44:35):
actually happened was that Judaism at the time was split
into two factions. Greek speaking Judaism, which followed the septagen
the Greek translation of the Boss of the gosp of
the Old Testament, and then the Hebrew faction, which was
basically being promoted by the Pharisees. Actually happened at the

(44:58):
time of Christ, after death of Christ, before the collapse.
In that period between what thirty three AD and the
collapse of the Temple, when was that sixties ninety seventy
eighty is almost six almost the entirety of the jew
of the Greek speaking Jews, came over that that it

(45:19):
is not that they that is what the first entry
Church grew out of. They all converted to Christianity, and
what you had left is basically the Pharacycle movement, which is,
via various stages, what the Jewish community is descended from today.
That's the first thing, and the important thing about that
is the fact that the jury the Jews out of

(45:40):
which the first Church emerged was Greek speaking Because that
comes into the point now of how of how influential
Christianity was in Europe as it moved westward with the
inspiration of Greek philosophy at its wind. That's something absolutely
lacking in Islam, which is the rationality.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Now, I am the.

Speaker 16 (46:02):
First person who will queue up and criticize Pope Benedict
on so many fronts, but if you want to, if
you want one positive thing to identify in his pontificate,
which was actually the important thing about his Reagansburg speech
was he was making precisely this point that Christianity is

(46:23):
as a as a religious force developed from three principal streams,
which are three principal cities, which is Jerusalem, Rome and Athens.
And the importance of rationality, and the obviously Dave Baden
to speak far more eloquently to this than I can.
But the importance of rationality as being a tool given

(46:44):
to mankind for discernment by God and in understanding the
world and revelation is there in Christianity and it's absolutely
not there in Islam. You know, in a day was
saying there are no really great Islamic universities for this,
because the whole point of Islam is contained and limited

(47:06):
in the Koan, and rationality has no place in that,
whereas obviously it does in Christianity. Let me give way
to the break now, and then I want to take back. Yeah,
exactly what's going wrong now in the West following this.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Yeah, we're gonna continue on with us with Brad and
Ben Harnwell. And remember that Reagansburg speech. Once again, the
New York Times and the mainstream media picked out one
or two elements and they tried to try to put
they try to tarn feather Pope Benedict and running out
of town about this when it was actually one of
the deepest and most meaningful speeches I think any pope

(47:42):
has ever given to lay it out in man? Is
it relevant in America? On the thirty first of December
and the ever over twenty twenty five, we're going to
take a short break. We're in continue with great music.
Joe Allen's is gonna join us. The victories and defeats
of twenty five two of the biggest transhumanism, artificial intelligence

(48:06):
and the Islamification of the West, and now the target.
As Ben harn Will said, they're not coming into a
cat's pause This is not They're not sneaking in here,
from New York City to the Great State of Texas
and everywhere in between, coming for you. Short commercial break,

(48:27):
