AND WELCOME TO "THE
WATCHMAN."
I'VE BEEN TEASING YOU ABOUT
IT FOR WEEKS AND WEEKS NOW,
AND IT IS FINALLY HERE.
ISIS EXPOSED, BEHEADINGS,
SLAVERY, AND THE HELLISH
REALITY OF RADICAL ISLAM.
MY LATEST BOOK IS IN
BOOKSTORES FROM COAST TO
COAST.
RIGHT NOW I'M IN THE MIDST
OF A MEDIA WORLD-WIND,
PROMOTING THE BOOK ON TV AND
RADIO, AND I HAVE TO SAY IT
IS GETTING A GREAT
RESPONSE.
IT IS NOT HARD TO SEE WHY.
LOOK, ISIS HAS GENERATED SO
MANY HEADLINES OVER THE PAST
SEVERAL MONTHS WITH THEIR
VICIOUS GENOCIDAL COMPAIGNS
IN THE MIDDLE EAST,
BURNINGS, BEHEADINGS,
ENSLAVING WOMEN AND
CHILDREN, SLAUGHTERING
CHRISTIANS AND OTHER
RELIGIOUS MINORITIES IN THE
MIDDLE EAST.
BUT THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE
EAST, RIGHT?
LOOK, THAT'S THOUSANDS AND
THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY FROM
WE, HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES, WHO ARE LIVING
COMFORTABLE LIVES.
WE HAVE REALITY TV, WE HAVE
SPORTS ON TV AND
OUR iPHONES IN HAND.
WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
ISIS, RIGHT?
WRONG.
IN MY BOOK, I LAY OUT THE
IMMINENT THREAT THAT ISIL
THE ISLAMIC STATE, POSSESS
TO YOU RIGHT HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES.
BUT NOT ONLY THE UNITED
STATES, FOLKS, BUT EUROPE AS
WELL.
THERE ARE EIGHT CHAPTERS IN
THE BOOK, PLUS A PROLOGUE,
AND I DEVOTE AT LEAST A HALF
OF THE BOOK TO THE THREAT
POSED BY ISIS TO THE UNITED
STATES.
LOOK, WE KNOW THAT ISIS IS
NOT JUST A TERRORIST GROUP.
IT IS A TERRORIST ARMY.
SOME 30,000 FOOT SOLDIERS,
AT LEAST WELL-TRAINED
JIHADISTS, FIGHTING FOR ISIS
IN SYRIA, IN IRAQ, IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE MIDDLE EAST.
AND THEY'VE DECLARED A
CALIPHATE, AN ISLAMIC STATE,
IN THE MAIN HUB OF THAT
REGION.
AND, FOLKS, THEY COVER NOW
SOME 35,000 SCAR,000 SQUARE
MILES ACROSS SYRIA AND
IRAQ.
THAT IS AN AREA ROUGHLY THE
SIZE OF GREAT BRITAIN.
THIS IS THE SAME
ORGANIZATION THAT JUST A
YEAR AGO PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS
CALLING THE J.V. TEAM OF
TERRORISM.
SO MUCH FOR THAT.
BUT, AGAIN, WHY SHOULD YOU
CARE THAT ISIS HAS DECLARED
AN ISLAMIC STATE, A
CALIPHATE IN THE MIDDLE
EAST?
AGAIN, IT'S NOT IN YOUR
BACKYARD.
TOUGH BREAK FOR ISRAEL, BUT
WHY DO WE HERE IN THE WEST
HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT?
WRAP YOUR HEAD AROUND THIS,
FOLKS: I LAY OUT IN THE BOOK
HOW THOUSANDS OF WESTERNERS,
AT LEAST 3500 EUROPEANS, AND
AT LEAST 150 U.S. CITIZENS
HAVE LEFT THEIR COMFORTABLE
SUBURBAN, MIDDLE-CLASS
EXISTENCE HERE IN THE
WEST -- LEFT EVERYTHING
BEHIND TO TRAVEL TO THE
MIDDLE EAST TO JOIN ISIS.
AND, FOLKS, LOOK, IF THESE
WESTERN RECRUITS DON'T GET
BLOWN UP FIGHTING FOR ISIS
IN SYRIA AND IRAQ, ONE DAY
THEY WILL RETURN HOME.
AND ONCE THEY RETURN HOME,
ALL BETS ARE OFF.
THINK ABOUT THE HORRIFIC
TERROR ATTACK WE SAW IN
PARIS BACK IN JANUARY.
WE SAW TWO WELL-TRAINED
JIHADISTS WHO HAD TRAINED
WITH al-QAEDA IN YEMEN,
AND TOOK THEIR NEWFOUND
SKILLS AND RETURNED TO
FRANCE.
THESE WERE FRENCH CITIZENS.
AND WHEN THEY RETURNED, THEY
MURDERED 17 PEOPLE
EVENTUALLY IN A HORRIFIC
SERIES OF TERROR ATTACKS IN
JANUARY 2015.
THAT IS THE KIND OF THREAT
THAT ISIS CAN POSE TO THE
UNITED STATES.
LOOK, IF YOU'RE A
WELL-TRAINED JIHADIST AND
YOU'RE FIGHTING IN SYRIA AND
IRAQ AND YOU'RE GETTING A
TASTE OF ALL OF THAT
VIOLENCE, ONE DAY-YEAR
BEHEADING SOMEONE, AND THE
NEXT DAY YOU'RE BACK IN THE
UNITED STATES, YOU'RE KIND
OF NOT GOING TO JUST
TRANSITION BACK INTO A
NORMAL LIFE.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET A
JOB AT A GAS STATION OR GO
BACK TO SCHOOL AND GET YOUR
BACHELOR'S DEGREE.
NO.
YOU WILL LOOK TO CARRY OUT
JIHAD AND CONTINUE YOUR
VIOLENT CAMPAIGN HERE ON
WESTERN SOIL.
THAT IS A MAJOR, MAJOR
THREAT.
NOW, HERE IS THE FLIPSIDE OF
IT, AGAIN, WHY YOU, AS AN
AMERICAN, SHOULD BE
CONCERNED ABOUT ISIS: NOT
ONLY IS ISIS ATTRACTING
RECRUITS FROM THE WEST OVER
TO THE MIDDLE EAST TO HELP
THEM ESTABLISH THAT NEW
CALIPHATE, BUT, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, ISIS HAS ALSO
MADE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO
RALLY MUSLIMS ACROSS EUROPE
AND THE UNITED STATES.
THEY'RE SAYING, HEY, LOOK,
YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE
TO COME HERE TO THE
CALIPHATE.
YOU CAN STAY HOME AND CARRY
OUT JIHAD IN YOUR OWN
BACKYARD.
ISIS CALLS THEM "CITY
WOLVES."
THAT HAS ISIS HAS SAID.
THAT'S WHAT ISIS SPOKESMEN
HAVE SAID ON VIDEOTAPES, BE
A "CITY WOLF," IN YOUR OWN
NECK OF THE WOODS.
THINK OF THE ATTACKS WE SAW
BACK IN OCTOBER 2014 IN
OTTAWA, CANADA, WHERE ONE
LONE GUNMAN, AN ISIS
SUPPORTER, STORMED THE
CANADIAN PARLIAMENT AND
KILLED A CANADIAN
POLICEMAN.
THAT IS A CITY WOLF IN ISIS'
VIEW.
THINK OF THE HATCHET ATTACK,
ALSO IN OCTOBER 2014, THAT
WE SAW ON THE STREETS OF NEW
YORK CITY.
AGAIN, WHEN AN ISIS
SUPPORTER ATTACKED THREE NEW
YORK CITY POLICEMEN WITH A
HATCHET, AND SERIOUSLY
WOUNDED ONE OF THEM.
AGAIN, IN THE NAME OF
JIHAD.
THAT IS A CITY WOLF.
BASICALLY, LOW-TECH,
SELF-STARTERS, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN.
A ONE-MAN, OR ONE-WOMAN
JIHAD.
THAT IS THE GOAL FOR ISIS.
THE GOAL BASICALLY -- AND I
DETAIL THEIR STRATEGY IN THE
BOOK, "ISIS EXPOSED," BUT
THE GOAL IS TO TURN THE
WEST, TO TURN THE UNITED
STATES, TO TURN EUROPE INTO
A GUERRILLA WAR ZONE.
WHERE YOU'RE SEEING OTTAWA
AND NEW YORK AND PARIS-STYLE
ATTACKS ON A REGULAR BASIS.
FORT HOOD, BOSTON-STYLE
ATTACKS ON A REGULAR BASIS
HERE ON WESTERN SOIL.
THAT IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL
FOR ISIS FOR THE WEST.
AND HERE IS AN EXAMPLE, A
CHILLING EXAMPLE OF THE ISIS
BLUEPRINT FOR THE WEST: IN
AUSTRALIA, OF ALL PLACES,
DOWN UNDER, BACK IN
SEPTEMBER 2014, A MAJOR PLOT
WAS BROKEN UP THANKFULLY BY
AUSTRALIAN COUNTER-TERRORISM
POLICE BY ISIS
SYMPATHIZERS.
A GROUP OF ISIS SYMPATHIZERS
IN THE CITY OF SYDNEY,
AUSTRALIA, HAD PLANNED TO
RANDOMLY KIDNAP AN
AUSTRALIAN CITIZEN OFF THE
STREET.
SOMEONE, WHO GOD BLESS THEM,
WAS JUST WALKING TO WORK,
MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS
WITH A CUP OF COFFEE IN
THEIR HAND.
ISIS HAD PLANNED TO KIDNAP
SOMEONE LIKE THAT OFF THE
STREET AND BEHEAD THEM,
RANDOM BEHEADING FOR THE
CAMERAS.
NOW, THAT IS CHILLING.
AND THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, OF
WHAT ISIS IS UP TO RIGHT
NOW, AND HOW THEY ARE
VIEWING THE WEST.
THEY VIEW THE UNITED STATES
AND EUROPE AS A
BATTLEGROUND.
AND IN MY BOOK, I DETAIL HOW
THE ISLAMIC STATE IS
RECRUITING SOME OF THE MOST
UNLIKELY PEOPLE TO JOIN THE
JIHAD.
AND THAT INCLUDES WOMEN.
THAT'S RIGHT.
SCORES OF WESTERN WOMEN FROM
PLACES LIKE FRANCE, GERMANY,
BRITAIN, AND, YES, RIGHT
HERE IN THE UNITED STATES,
ARE TRAVELLING TO SYRIA AND
IRAQ TO JOIN ISIS AND BECOME
JIHADI BRIDES IN THE NEW
CALIPHATE.
CHECK OUT THIS REPORT THAT I
RECENTLY FILED FOR CBN NEWS
ABOUT THE WOMEN OF ISIS.
FOR MONTHS BEFORE SHANNON
CONNELLY'S ARREST, F.B.I.
AGENTS MET WITH HER
REPEATEDLY.
THEY WARNED THE 19-YEAR-OLD
MUSLIM CONVERT THAT HER PLAN
TO TRAVEL TO SYRIA AND HELP
ISIS WAS ILLEGAL.
CONNELLY, HOWEVER, HAD MADE
UP HER MIND.
SHE WANTED TO LEAVE HER
SUBURBAN DENVER HOME TO
MARRY AN ISIS FIGHTER SHE
MET ONLINE.
AGENTS STOPPED HER AT
DENVER'S AIRPORT BEFORE SHE
COULD CARRY OUT HER PLAN.
YET THERE ARE MANY MORE LIKE
HER.
LAST MONTH, THREE TEENAGED
GIRLS FROM SUBURBAN, DENVER,
WERE DETAINED WHILE TRYING
TO MAKE THEIR WAY TO SYRIA.
BUT HUNDREDS OF OTHER YOUNG
WOMEN FROM WESTERN COUNTRIES
HAVE MADE IT TO THE ISLAMIC
STATE, MARRYING ISIS
FIGHTERS AND EVEN FIGHTING
ALONGSIDE THEM.
I HAVE A HUGE CONCERN
REGARDING THE WOMEN GOING
BACK BECAUSE THAT'S, AGAIN,
A PART OF BUILDING A NEW
SOCIETY.
THAT'S THE MARKETING THAT IS
GOING ON.
AND A LOT OF WOMEN HERE ARE
FINDING THAT AN ATTRACTIVE
OPTION.
Reporter: BOB FLETCHER
IS THE FORMER SHERIFF OF
RAMSEY COUNTY IN MINNESOTA.
AT LEAST FOUR SOMALI WOMEN
FROM ST. PAUL AND
NEIGHBORING MINNEAPOLIS,
HAVE TRAVELLED TO SYRIA TO
JOIN ISIS IN RECENT MONTHS.
WHILE THEY'RE RECRUITING
MEN, THEY PROMISE THEM WIVES
WHEN THEY GET THERE.
THEY NEED WOMEN IN THEIR
SOCIETY TO KEEP THEIR
FIGHTERS CONTENT.
IT IS A SCARY THING, BUT THE
WOMEN ARE REALLY BEING USED
IN A VARIETY OF WAYS ONCE
THEY GET THERE.
IN SOME CASES, THESE
WOMEN ACT AS MUCH MORE MERE
JIHADI BRIDES.
A BRITISH WOMAN REPORTEDLY
LEADS AN ALL SHI'ITE TROOP.
THEY ENFORCE ISLAMIC DRESS
CODES, AND EVEN REPORTEDLY
RUN A BROTHEL, WHERE THEY
PROVIDE SEX SLAVES TO ISIS
FIGHTERS.
SO FAR MOST OF THE ISIS
WOMEN COME FROM EUROPE.
THE NUMBERS INCLUDE AT LEAST
50 BRITISH WOMEN, 40 FROM
GERMANY, AND SOME 60 FRENCH
YOUNG GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN
ALL LEAVING THEIR HOMES TO
JOIN THE ISLAMIC STATE.
THE SO-CALLED POSTER GIRLS
FOR THIS MOVEMENT ARE A PAIR
OF AUSTRIAN TEENAGERS WHO
ARE MARRIED TO ISIS
FIGHTERS.
THE GIRLS ARE REPORTEDLY
PREGNANT AND WANT TO COME
HOME.
THE al-QAEDA
EXTREMISTS, ISIS,
al-SHABAAB -- THE GIRLS ARE
USED FOR THE ELEMENT OF
SURPRISE.
DOZEN OF MUSLIMS WOMEN
FROM CHECHNYA AND DAGESTAN
HAVE CARRIED OUT SUICIDE
BOMBINGS IN RECENT YEARS.
BUT ISIS IS TAKING THINGS TO
ANOTHER LEVEL BY ACTIVELY
RECRUITING WOMEN ONLINE.
ISIS PROMISES THEM HUSBANDS
AND A WONDERFUL NEW LIFE IN
THE CALIPHATE, A PLACE
WHERE, IRONICALLY ENOUGH,
WOMEN HAVE NO RIGHTS OR
FREEDOMS.
NOW, YOU CAN READ MUCH MORE
ABOUT THE WOMEN OF JIHAD IN
MY NEW BOOK, "ISIS
EXPOSED."
AND COMING UP AFTER THE
BREAK, WE TAKE A LOOK AT
WHAT REALLY HAS BECOME JIHAD
CENTRAL, AND ISIS CENTRAL
HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.
IT IS NOT IN NEW YORK,
CHICAGO, OR LOS ANGELES.
IT IS A PLACE YOU PROBABLY
WOULDN'T EXPECT.
STAY TUNED.
THAT'S COMING UP AFTER THE
BREAK.
Chris: WELCOME BACK.
WELL, IT IS THE FROZEN
TUNDRA OF THE UPPER
MIDWEST.
THE TWIN CITIES OF
MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL,
LOCATED IN THE VERY
PROSPEROUS STATE OF
MINNESOTA, HAVE ONE OF THE
HIGHEST STANDARDS OF LIVING
FOR MAJOR CITIES AND
METROPOLITAN AREAS IN THE
UNITED STATES.
UNFORTUNATELY, MINNEAPOLIS
AND ST. PAUL, TWO VERY NICE
CITIES, ALSO HAVE THE
HIGHEST NUMBER OF TERRORIST
RECRUITS IN THE UNITED
STATES.
THAT'S RIGHT, FOLKS.
OVER THE PAST EIGHT YEARS OR
SO, MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL
HAVE SEEN DOZENS OF THEIR
RESIDENTS, U.S. CITIZENS,
TRAVEL TO PLACES LIKE
SOMALIA AND, YES, SYRIA, TO
JOIN TERROR GROUPS.
THE TWIN CITIES HAVE BECOME
AN ISIS RECRUITING GROUND.
I PAID A VISIT THERE A FEW
MONTHS AGO TO GET A
FIRSTHAND LOOK AT THE
JIHADIST THREAT EMANATING
FROM MINNESOTA, OF ALL
PLACES.
TAKE A LOOK.
AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN,
ALL OF THEM SOMALI MUSLIMS
HAILING FROM MINNESOTA, AND
ALL OF THEM CARRYING U.S.
PASSPORTS.
SOME HAVE BEEN SUICIDE
BOMBERS, AND OTHERS STAR
IMPROPE IN PROPAGANDA
VIDEOS.
THERE WAS A CALL TO JIHAD IN
SOMALIA.
THE PROBLEM IS PREVIOUS
YEARS WAS YOUNG MEN LEAVING
MOSQUES LIKE THIS TO TRAVEL
BACK HOME AND JOIN THE
al-QAEDA-LINKED TERROR
GROUP AL-SHABAAB.
NOW THE PROBLEM HAS SHIFTED,
AND IT IS MUST DEEPER.
SINCE JULY OF 2012, WE
HAVEN'T HAD ANY KIDS LEAVE
TO GO JOIN al-SHABAAB,
BUT WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL
LEAVE NOW TO GO JOIN ISIS.
Reporter: BOB FLETCHER
IS THE FORMER SHERIFF OF
RAMSEY COUNTY, WHICH
INCLUDES THE CITY OF ST.
JOHN'S.
> ST. PAUL.
WHAT ISIS IS SELLING IS
THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD
SOMETHING, TO BUILD A NEW
SOCIETY.
THAT IS VERY, VERY EXCITING
FOR A LOT OF KIDS.
AT LEAST 12 TWIN CITY
RESIDENTS HAVE TRAVELLED TO
SYRIA TO JOIN TERRORIST
GROUPS IN RECENT YEARS.
ALL WERE SOMALIS, EXCEPT
DOUGLAS McCAIN, AN
AFRICAN-AMERICAN CONVERT
KILLED FIGHTING ALONGSIDE
ISIS LAST SUMMER.
ONE RECRUIT EVEN WORKED AT
MINNEAPOLIS, ST. PAUL,
AIRPORT, BEFORE JOINING THE
ISLAMIC STATE.
THE RECRUITERS GET HOLD
OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE AND
THEY MENTOR THEM.
THEY ASSESS THEM.
THEY IDENTIFY THEM.
Reporter: ABDUR BIHI IS
DIRECTOR OF THE SOMALI
ADVOCACY CENTER IN
MINNEAPOLIS.
HIS TEENAGED NEPHEW FELL
PREY TO TERRORIST RECRUITERS
AND WAS KILLED IN SOMALIA IN
2008.
NOBODY WOULD BELIEVE THAT
A SOMALI-AMERICAN KID WHO
GREW UP HERE, WHO HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH SOMALIA,
NO CONTROL OF THE LANGUAGE,
WOULD BE BRAINWASHED,
RADICALIZED BY THE SAME
PEOPLE, BY SOME OF THE
PEOPLE WE TRUSTED SO MUCH,
AND RETURN HIM TO HELL FIRE
IN SOMALIA.
Reporter: BIBI HAS
RECEIVED THREATS FOR
SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THE RAD
RADICALIZATION OF HIS
COMMUNITY.
HE SAYS HE IS FIGHTING AN
UPHILL BATTLE AS UNEMPLOYED
YOUNG PEOPLE RESPOND TO THE
MESSAGE OF JIHAD.
WE ARE TRYING WITH
EVERYTHING WE CAN.
BUT OUR CHALLENGES ARE
PLENTY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE
THE RESOURCES TO WORK WITH
THEM.
THE TWIN CITIES ARE HOME
TO THE LARGEST SOMALI
POPULATION IN NORTH
AMERICA.
MANY OF THE MORE THAN
100,000 SOMALI RESIDENTS
CAME AS PART OF A
TAXPAYER-FUNDED REFUGEE
RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM RUN BY
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.
AS SIASSIMILATION HAS BEEN
A LARGE PROBLEM.
THIS IS A TRADITIONAL EAST
AFRICAN MARKET, AND IT IS
HERE IN THE VERY HEART OF
MINNEAPOLIS.
IT SHOWS THE CHANGING FACE
AND THE GROWTH OF THE SOMALI
COMMUNITY HERE IN THE TWIN
CITIES.
WAR-TORN SOMALIA HAS HAD NO
FUNCTIONING CENTRAL
GOVERNMENT FOR NEARLY 25
YEARS AND HAS BECOME A
HOTBED FOR RADICAL ISLAM.
OMAR LEFT BEHIND THAT CHAOS,
ONLY TO CONFRONT A SIMILAR
MEN NAYMENACE IN THE TWIN
CITIES.
HE HAS TERROR RECRUITS ARE
HAVING SUCCESS BEYOND JUST
THE HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT
TYPES.
ISIS HAS ALWAYS TARGETED
THE KIDS, BUT AMERICANS ARE
FINDING OUT EVEN "A"
STUDENTS AT UNIVERSITIES AND
COLLEGES ARE ALSO VULNERABLE
TO THIS POWERFUL PROPAGANDA
MACHINE.
ACCORDING TO JAMAL,
RADICAL ISLAMIC IDEOLOGY IS
A POWERFUL RECRUITMENT TOOL
FOR ISIS, AND THE ISLAMIC
STATE SUCCESS BREEDS
ATTRACTION.
ISIS THUS FAR SUCCEEDED
IN PUTTING UP AN IMAGE,
WHERE THEY ARE RIGHTING THE
WRONGS AND RESPECTING THE
MUSLIM WORLD, AND BRINGING
RESPECT BACK, AND IT IS
WORKING FOR THEM.
FOLKS, I HAVE MUCH MORE
DETAIL IN MY NEW BOOK, "ISIS
EXPOSED," ABOUT THE JIHADIST
THREAT COMING OUT OF
MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL.
IT IS VERY DISTURBING
STUFF.
UP NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE
A LOOK AT A SPEECH I
RECENTLY GAVE AT THE
NATIONAL RELIGIOUS
BROADCASTERS' CONVENTION IN
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.
THIS IS THE BIGGEST
GATHERING OF CHRISTIAN MEDIA
ANNUALLY FROM FILM, TV,
RADIO, PRINT.
IT'S A WHO'S WHO OF
CHRISTIAN MEDIA
HEAVYWEIGHTS, AND I WAS
HONORED TO ADDRESS THE
N.R.B. CONVENTION ON MY
BOOK, "ISIS EXPOSED, AND THE
THREATS TO THE UNITED
STATES."
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK
AT A CLIP FROM THAT SPEECH
AFTER THE BREAK.
STICK AROUND.
AND WELCOME BACK.
HERE IS A CLIP FROM MY
RECENT SPEECH AT THE
NATIONAL RELIGIOUS
BROADCASTERS' CONVENTION IN
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.
I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE YOU
TOO FAR BACK.
THIS IS ONE OF THE PILLARS
OF ISIS' IDEOLOGY.
THE GENOCIDE OF THE JEWISH
PEOPLE IN THE STATE OF
ISRAEL.
NOT ONLY ISIS, I MIGHT ADD,
THE IRAN AND THE MUSLIM
BROTHERHOOD.
WE HEAR A LOT OF TIMES WHEN
IT COMES TO ISRAEL, NEVER
AGAIN.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE JEWISH
PEOPLE BEING SLAUGHTERED,
THE MOST PERSECUTED PEOPLE
IN THE HISTORY OF THE
PLANET, NEVER AGAIN.
GUESS WHAT?
IN 1948, OUT OF THE ASHES OF
THE HOLOCAUST, JUST THREE
YEARS AFTER SIX MILLION JEWS
WERE SLAUGHTERED, THE ARAB
ARMIES GATHERED AROUND THIS
FLEDGLING NEW STATE OF
ISRAEL AND THEY PREPARED TO
WIPE IT OFF THE MAP.
GUESS WHAT THE WORLD DID?
NOTHING.
IN 1967, THE SAME SCENARIO.
THE ARAB ARMIES GATHERED
AGAIN, IN THE RUN UP TO THE
SIX-DAY WAR, AND BY A
MIRACLE OF GOD ALMIGHTY,
ISRAEL WON THE SIX-DAY WAR.
BUT THE WORLD DIDN'T DO
ANYTHING.
BY THE WAY, FOLKS, LINDEN
JOHNSON, WHO WAS THEN THE
PRESIDENT, TRIED EVERYTHING
HE COULD DO TO RESTRAIN
ISRAEL FROM DEFENDING
ITSELF, ATTACKING EGYPT AND
SYRIA TO PRESERVE THE NATION
STATE.
1973, THE YOM KIPPUR WAR
WHERE NO ONE CAME, AND NIXON
HELPED SAVE THE DAY AND
ISRAEL PREVAILED.
MY POINT: NO ONE IS GOING TO
COME TO HELP ISRAEL IF WE
DON'T.
I THINK WE HAVE A HEAVY
CHARGE AND A HEAVY
RESPONSIBILITY.
ANTI-SEMITISM IN EUROPE,
ASTRONOMICAL LEVELS.
AND IF CHRISTIANS CAN STEP
UP AND STAND WITH THEIR
JEWISH BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
I BELIEVE WE WILL ALSO BE
HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT.
[APPLAUSE]
YOU KNOW, FOLKS, IT WAS A
BLAST SPEAKING AT THE N.R.B.
CONVENTION, AND THAT WAS
REALLY THE COMING OUT PARTY
FOR MY BOOK, "ISIS
EXPOSED."
AFTER THE BREAK, SOME FINAL
THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT TO DO
ABOUT ISIS.
FOLKS, IT IS A WINSTON
CHURCHILL MOMENT.
STICK AROUND.
MY FINAL THOUGHTS, AFTER THE
BREAK.
FOLKS, IT HAS BEEN SUCH A
BUSY AND HECTIC TIME,
PROMOTING MY THIRD BOOK,
ISIS EXPOSED, BEHEADINGS,
AND SLAVERY, AND IT IS
AVAILABLE FROM COAST TO
COAST.
AMAZON.COM, BARNES AND
NOBEL, WHEREVER BOOKS ARE
SOLD.
OBVIOUSLY, ISIS IS THE
HOTTEST STORY RIGHT NOW.
NOT ONLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING
IN THE MIDDLE EAST, BUT WHAT
THEY'RE THREATENING TO DO
RIGHT HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN.
AND REALLY WE ARE IN A
WINSTON CHURCHILL HOMORIGHT
MOMENT RIGHT NOW.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IN THE LATEST 1930s, EARLY
1940s, WINSTON CHURCHILL
WARNED ABOUT THE GATHERING
STORM.
HE SAW THE NAZI THREAT
BUILDING, AND HE WARNED
ABOUT IT.
HE SOUNDED THE ALARM.
HE RECOGNIZED IT.
AND HE ALSO RECOGNIZED THE
GROWING SOVIET THREAT AND
GAVE A SPEECH IN MISSOURI,
OF ALL PLACES, IN 1946,
WARNING ABOUT THE LOOMING
IRON CURTAIN DESCENDING OVER
EASTERN EUROPE.
BACK THEN AS CHURCHILL WAS
SOUNDING THE ALARM, HE WAS
BASICALLY LAUGHED AT AND
SHUNNED BY HIS FELLOW
WESTERN LEADERS WHO HAD
THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND AND
DID NOT WANT TO ADMIT THAT
HITLER AND HIS HOARDS WERE
FORMING A THREAT TO THE
WEST.
FOLKS, WE HAVE THE SAME
SITUATION TODAY.
THE WINSTON CHURCHILL OF OUR
TIMES, I BELIEVE, IS ISRAELI
PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN
NETANYAHU.
JUST AS WINSTON CHURCHILL,
IN THE LATE 1930s, EARLY
1940s, NETANYAHU IS BEING
SHUNNED BY WESTERN LEADERS.
IT IS A SAD STATE OF
AFFAIRS, FOLKS.
TINY ISRAEL, THE SIZE OF NEW
JERSEY, THE LEADER OF ISRAEL
IS THE ONLY ONE WHO TRULY,
TRULY GETS IT.
HERE IN THE U.S., WE HAVE
PRESIDENT OBAMA AS OUR
PRESIDENT, AND HE CAN'T SEEN
SAY THE TERM "RADICAL
ISLAM."
IT IS A BIG PROBLEM.
AND IT IS A PROBLEM WHEN
OBAMA AND MEMBERS OF HIS
ADMINISTRATION SAY THAT ISIS
IS DOING WHAT IT IS DOING
BECAUSE THEY LACK JOB
OPPORTUNITIES.
THAT'S WHY THEY ARE JOINING
THE JIHAD.
MAYBE THAT WILL BE THE NEW
BIG GOVERNMENT PROGRAM.
ISIS IS DOING WHAT IT IS
DOING BECAUSE OF IDEOLOGY.
TERRORISM IS A TACTIC.
IT IS DRIVEN BY JIHADIST
IDEOLOGY.
I LAY OUT THAT IDEOLOGY IN
THE BOOK.
I ALSO LAY OUT A STRATEGY TO
DEFEAT IT, THE STEPS WE NEED
TO TAKE TO CRUSH ISIS.
WE'LL BE MONITORING IT EVERY
WEEK HERE ON "THE
WATCHMAN."
I HOPE YOU CAN PICK UP THE
BOOK, "ISIS EXPOSED," AND
UNTIL NEXT TIME, GOD BLESS
YOU, AND, REMEMBER, NEVER
HOLD YOUR PEACE.
