Erick: AND WELCOME TO
"THE WATCHMAN."
WELL, 2016 IS HERE.
THANK GOD.
FOLKS, WE NEED A FRESH
START AND A NEW APPROACH
BECAUSE IF YOU CARE ABOUT
AMERICA AND ISRAEL'S
SECURITY AND A STRONG
STABLE WEST, 2015 PROBABLY
WASN'T YOUR KIND OF YEAR.
IN FACT, IT WAS DOWNRIGHT
DISASTEROUS ON MANY
FRONTS.
ISIS BECAME INCREASINGLY
BOLD, CARRYING OUT
HORRIFIC ATTACKS IN PARIS
AND BEIRUT, BRINGING DOWN
A RUSSIAN AIRLINER, AND
INSPIRING A MASSACRE IN
SAN BERNARDINO,
CALIFORNIA.
ISIS ALSO MANAGED TO HANG
ON TO MOST OF ITS
CALIPHATE IN SYRIA AND
IRAQ, DESPITE COALITION
AND RUSSIAN AIRSTRIKES.
ALTHOUGH, THERE WAS AT
LEAST A GLIMMER OF HOPE AT
YEAR'S END AS IRAQI FORCES
WERE CLOSE TO PUSHING ISIS
OUT OF RAMADI.
STILL, THE ISLAMIC STATE
CONTINUES TO INSPIRE
JIHADIS AROUND THE WORLD,
INCLUDING RIGHT HERE IN
AMERICA.
WHERE F.B.I. DIRECTOR
JAMES COMEY SAYS THE
BUREAU IS INVESTIGATING
SOME 1,000 ISIS-RELATED
CASES IN ALL 50 STATES.
IT BECAME VERY CLEAR IN
2015, FOLKS, THAT WE HAVE
A HOME-GROWN JIHAD
EPIDEMIC RIGHT HERE.
AND IF THESE ISIS RECRUITS
DON'T HEAD OVERSEAS TO
JOIN THE CALIPHATE,
THEY'LL SIMPLY STAY PUT
AND PLOT ATTACKS ON
AMERICAN SOIL.
NOW, WHILE ISIS MAY HAVE
DOMINATED THE HEADLINES,
THE BIG WINNER IN 2015 WAS
UNDOUBTEDLY IRAN.
THE IRANIAN REGIME DUPED
WESTERN LEADERS, WHO
SEEMED ALL TOO WILLING TO
BE DUPED, BY THE WAY, AND
SECURED A NUCLEAR DEAL
THAT PRACTICALLY
GUARANTEES THAT THE
MULLAHS WILL GET THE BOMB
SOME TIME IN THE NOT TOO
DISTANT FUTURE UNLESS
ISRAEL STOPS THEM.
MORE ON THAT IN A SECOND.
FOLKS, IRAN IS EMPOWERED
AND EXTENDING ITS REACH
THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE
EAST.
AND NOW IT HAS THE RUSSIAN
BEAR FIRMLY IN ITS CORNER.
OH, YES, ONE OF THE
BIGGEST DEVELOPMENTS OF
2015 WAS RUSSIA BECOMING
INVOLVED IN THE SYRIAN
CIVIL WAR AND FIGHTING
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH
IRANIAN AND HEZBOLLAH
TERRORISTS.
NOT ONLY DID THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION LOOK ON
HOPELESSLY, BUT THE
ISRAELIS NOW HAVE TO DEAL
WITH THE PROSPECT OF A
NUCLEAR-ARMED,
RUSSIAN-MILITARY
POWERHOUSE, LED BY A
POWER-HUNGRY TYRANT,
VLADIMIR PUTIN.
CAMPED OUT RIGHT ON THEIR
DOORSTEP.
RUSSIA ISN'T GOING
ANYWHERE.
THEY'RE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
TO STAY.
AND THE END GAME WILL NOT
BE PRETTY.
YOU WOULD THINK THE WORLD
WOULD GET BEHIND ISRAEL AS
ITS ENEMIES PRESS IN ON
ALL SIDES.
BUT, NO.
IN 2015, THE WORLD AND THE
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
ISOLATED ISRAEL EVEN MORE.
EVEN AS ANTI-SEMITISM
SOARS THROUGHOUT THE
GLOBE.
SO OTHER THAN EVERYTHING I
JUST LAID OUT, 2015 WAS A
GREAT YEAR FOR NATIONAL
SECURITY.
LOOK, FOLKS, IN ALL
SERIOUSNESS, A NEW YEAR
MEANS A NEW SLATE AND A
NEW CHANCE TO SET THINGS
RIGHT.
UNFORTUNATELY OUR CURRENT
ADMINISTRATION WILL DO
EVERYTHING IT CAN TO AVOID
CHANGING ITS CHAOTIC
COURSE.
A COURSE THAT HAS WEAKENED
AMERICA'S STANDING IN THE
WORLD SEVERELY.
WE LIVE IN PERILOUS INSANE
TIMES, WHERE GOOD IS
CONSIDERED EVIL, EVIL IS
GOOD, AND THE WORLD IS
UPSIDE DOWN.
I KNOW THAT ISN'T THE MOST
ENCOURAGING MESSAGE.
BUT GOD SITS ON THE
THRONE.
AND IT IS THE TRUTH.
SO THIS WEEK ON "THE
WATCHMAN," WE WANT TO
FOCUS ON 2016 AND WHAT YOU
SHOULD LOOK FOR IN THIS
COMING YEAR, BECAUSE I
THINK YOU WOULD RATHER
KNOW THAN NOT KNOW.
> UP FIRST, THE GROWING
ALLIANCE BETWEEN RUSSIA
AND IRAN.
ONE MAN IS LARGELY AT THE
CENTER OF IT.
YOU MAY NOT HAVE HEARD OF
HIM, BUT MANY THINK HE IS
THE MOST DANGEROUS AND
INFLUENTIAL PLAYER IN THE
MIDDLE EAST.
HERE IS MORE ON KASAM
SULEMANI.
Reporter: IT IS A
NIGHTMARE SCENARIO, A
MILITARY POWERHOUSE WITH A
MASSIVE ARSENAL, OPENLY
ALIGNING ITSELF WITH
ISLAMIC TERRORISTS WHO ARE
HOSTILE TO AMERICA AND
ISRAEL.
THAT'S EXACTLY THE
SITUATION TODAY IN SYRIA
AS THE RUSSIAN MILITARY
COORDINATES WITH IRAN AND
ITS PROXY, HEZBOLLAH.
THEY ARE HELPING TO PROP
UP THE REGIME OF SYRIAN
DICTATOR ASSAD.
HE WAS THREATENED ON ALL
SIDES BY ISIS, al-QAEDA,
AND SYRIAN REBEL GROUPS.
AND THEN THE RUSSIAN BEAR
STEPPED IN.
RUSSIAN BEGAN AIRSTRIKES
ON BEHALF OF THE REGIME IN
LATE SEPTEMBER, AFTER A
STEADY MILL TEA MILITARY BUILDUP.
SULEMANI PAID A VISIT TO
MOSCOW IN JULY, AND IT WAS
NO QEN COINCIDENCE.
IN GENERAL TERMS, HE IS
A UNIFORMED OSAMA BIN
LADEN.
HE IS ANTI-U.S.
HE IS ABLE TO TRAVEL THE
MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH
AFRICA, AND BASICALLY
FUNDING AND DIRECTING
IRANIAN PROXY GROUPS, LIKE
HEZBOLLAH AND HOUTHIS.
Reporter: MICHAEL IS
A DIRECTOR.
AND HE SAW SULEMANI'S
HANDY WORK UP CLOSE.
TALK ABOUT THE KIND OF
ATTACKS THAT SULEMANI
CARRIED OUT --
WHETHER IT WAS THE PEN
PENETRATERS -- THEY
BROUGHT THEM TO IRAN AND
TRAINED THEM ON HOW TO USE
IT, AND SET THEM UP IN
IRAQ AND DIRECTED THEIR
ATTACKS AGAINST U.S.
FORCES.
Reporter: THEY
BELIEVING THBELIEVE THE IRANIAN
SUPPLIED WEAPONS LED TO
MANY DEATHS.
SULEMANI PLAYED A CENTRAL
ROLE.
SULEMANI IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR KUDS FORCES.
HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
KEEPING ASSAD IN POWER FOR
FOUR YEARS.
HE HAD A HAND IN THE DEATH
OF THOUSANDS.
THE KUDS FORCE IS AN
EXTERNAL FORCE HELL-BENT
ON TAKING JERUSALEM BACK.
Erick: IN PER SUI PURSUIT OF
THAT GOAL, IRAN IS
ESTABLISHING A FOOT HOLD
IN GOLAN HEIGHTS.
IN JANUARY 2014, AN
ISRAELI HELICOPTER STRIKE
KILLED SOME OPERATIVES
NEAR THE GOLAN BORDER.
THAT DIDN'T DETER IRAN'S
LONG-TERM PLANS.
SULEMANI PERSONALLY
VISITED THE GOLAN HEIGHTS
TO RALLY TROOPS THERE.
SULEMANI HAS BECOME
MUCH MORE PUBLIC IN HIS
PROFILE.
LOTS OF PICTURES OF HIM
STANDING ALONGSIDE IRAQI
SHI'A MULTIPLE MILITANTS IN IRAQ.
Reporter: LIKEWISE,
IRAN IS STEPPING UP ITS
ROLE IN SYRIA'S CIVIL WAR.
SOME 2,000 IRANIAN AND
IRANIAN-BACKED FIGHTERS
ARE NOW IN SYRIA.
THEY ARE JOINED BY
THOUSANDS OF HEZBOLLAH
FIGHTERS, AN AND SUPPORTED BY
ANTI-ASSAD TARGETS.
RUSSIA, IRAN, THE ASSAD
REGIME, AND IRAQ ARE NOW
ALL REPORTEDLY SHARING
INTELLIGENCE.
AN EMERGENCY VISIT BY
SULEMANI TO MOSCOW IN
JULY, REPORTEDLY SEALED
THE DEAL FOR RUSSIAN
INVOLVEMENT IN SYRIA.
IT WAS IN DIRECT
VIOLATIONS OF THE
SANCTIONS.
WHEN WE SAY SANCTIONS
ARE STILL ON SULEMANI,
THEY'RE NOT.
BECAUSE THE SUPREME LEADER
WILL GIVE HIM AS MUCH
MONEY AS HE NEEDS TO
CONTINUE IRAN'S EXPORT OF
TERRORISM.
HE ANSWERS DIRECTLY TO THE
SUPREME LEADER.
HE ANSWERS DIRECTLY TO
KHAMENEI.
Erick: AS FOR RUSSIA,
IT'S PRESENCE IN THE
MIDDLE EAST RAISES SERIOUS
QUESTIONS FOR ISRAEL.
SUCH AS HOW WILL THEY
REACT TO A POTENTIAL
BETWEEN HEZBOLLAH?
THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS
THAT SULEMANI WAS WOUNDED
RECENTLY IN SYRIA.
WE'LL BE KEEPING AN EYE ON
THAT.
AND WE'LL LET YOU KNOW IF
ANYTHING DEVELOPS.
> UP NEXT, ISIS IN
AMERICA, THAT'S SOMETHING
YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY KEEP
AN EYE OUT FOR IN 2016.
STICK AROUND FOR MORE.
Erick: AND WELCOME
BACK.
2015 WAS A BANNER YEAR IN
MANY WAYS FOR ISIS.
THE PARIS ATTACK.
THE RUSSIAN AIRLINER.
MORE BEHEADINGS AND
HORRIFIC EXECUTIONS.
MORE THREATS AGAINST THE
WEST.
AND AN EXPANSION OF ITS
OPERATIONS WORLDWIDE.
THAT INCLUDES HERE, IN THE
UNITED STATES, WHERE TWO
ISIS SYMPATHIZERS IN SAN
BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA,
CARRIED OUT THE DEADLIEST
JIHADI TERROR ATTACK ON
U.S. SOIL SINCE 9/11.
IT MAY ONLY HAVE BEEN THE
BEGINNING.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
MORE THAN 250 AMERICAN
CITIZENS HAVE TRAVELLED TO
SYRIA AND IRAQ TO JOIN
ISIS, AND DOZENS HAVE
ALREADY RETURNED TO THE
U.S.
THAT FINDING COMES
DIRECTLY FROM THE HOUSE
HOMELAND SECURITY
COMMITTEE.
THE CITIES MAY WELCOME
THESE ISIS RECRUITS BACK
HOME.
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
SAYS ISIS HAS AN EXTENSIVE
NETWORK OF SUPPORTERS AND
SYMPATHIZERS FROM COAST TO
COAST IN SIDE THE UNITED
STATES.
THE HUSBAND AND WIFE
TERROR TEAM THAT WREAKED
HAVOC IN SAN BERNARDINO
COULD BE A SIGN OF A
GROWING TREND.
F.B.I. DIRECTOR JAMES
COMEY HAS SAID THE BUREAU
IS INVESTIGATING
ISIS-RELATED ACTIVITY IN
ALL 50 STATES, AND THAT
ISIS IS RECRUITING HERE 24
HOURS A DAY.
IN FACT, F.B.I. RESOURCES
ARE REPORTEDLY RUNNING
DOWN SOME 1,000 ISIS
CASES, RAISING FEARS THAT
THE BUREAU IS BEING
STRETCHED THIN AS IT TRIES
TO GET A HANDLE ON THE
HOME-GROWN JIHADIST
THREAT.
STILL, PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS
SAID HIS STRATEGY TO
DEFEAT ISIS IS WORKING AND
THAT THE TERROR GROUP IS
CONTAINED.
I THINK THAT THE F.B.I.
KNOWS FULL WELL HOW
SERIOUS THE THREAT IS ON
THE GROUND.
THEY'RE TRYING TO GRAPPLE
WITH IT.
Erick: KATHRYN GORKA
CO-AUTHORED A REPORT ON
ISIS ACTIVITY IN AMERICA.
THE REASON WE DID THE
REPORT IN THE FIRST PLACE
IS WE WERE GETTING THE
SENSE THAT THE THREAT IN
THE UNITED STATES WAS
BEING DOWNPLAYED FOR
POLITICAL REASONS.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
THE REPORT SHOWED, THAT
THE THREAT IS FAR GREATER
IN THIS COUNTRY THAN WE
HAVE BEEN LED TO BELIEVE.
Erick: THE REPORT
FOUND THAT AMERICAN LAW
ENFORCEMENT HAS
INTERCEPTED SOME 82 ISIS
SUPPORTERS SINCE MARCH
2014, AND ISIS IS
RECRUITING WITHIN THE U.S.
AT ABOUT THREE TIMES THE
RATE OF al-QAEDA.
OUT OF THE 82 CASES
WE'VE LOOKED AT, 82 PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN INTERJECTED BY
LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THIS
COUNTRY, ONLY 18 WERE
TURNED IN BY SOMEONE THEY
KNEW.
SO THIS NOTION THAT THE
MUSLIM COMMUNITY IS TRYING
TO HELP PROTECT US AGAINST
RADICALISM RIGHT NOW IS
NOT REALLY HOLDING TRUE.
Erick: THE ISIS GOAL
FOR THESE AMERICAN
SUPPORTERS: RISE UP AND
CARRY OUT REGULAR TERROR
ATTACKS IN U.S. CITIES,
CREATING AN ATMOSPHERE OF
GUERRILLA WAR.
EQUALLY TROUBLING IS THAT
A MAJORITY DO NOT APPROVE
OF THE GOVERNMENT'S
HANDLING OF TERRORISM AND
BELIEVE MORE LONE-WOLF
JIHADI ATTACKS CANNOT BE
PREVENTED.
> UP NEXT, WE GO FROM
2016 TO THE FIRST HALF OF
THE 20th CENTURY FOR A
LOOK AT HOW SOME BRITISH
CHRISTIANS ARE MAKING
AMENDS TODAY FOR THEIR
COUNTRY'S FORMER TREATMENT
OF ISRAEL.
YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS
THIS FASCINATING TRIP
THROUGH HISTORY, AFTER THE
BREAK.
Erick: WELCOME BACK.
GREAT BRITAIN IS A LOYAL
FRIEND OF THE UNITED
STATES, AND ARGUABLY OUR
CLOSEST ALLY.
THERE ARE A LOT OF GREAT
THINGS I CAN SAY ABOUT OUR
COUSINS ACROSS THE POND,
BELIEVE ME.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR
TREATMENT OF THE JEWS
DURING THE WORLD WAR II
ERA, IT IS HARD TO BE
POLITE.
IT IS A DARK CHAPTER OF
BRITAIN'S PAST THAT YOU
MAY NOT HAVE HEARD ABOUT.
NOW SOME BRITISH
CHRISTIANS ARE STEPPING UP
AND MAKING AMENDS.
HERE IS CHRIS MITCHELL.
YOU'RE LATE.
I AM TRYING TO SAVE A
JEWISH CHILDMENT.
>CHILD.
LADY, YOU'RE 10 YEARS
LATE.
ALMOST TWO MILLION JEWISH
CHILDREN WERE BUTCHERED
LIKE ANIMALS.
Reporter: THE MOVIE
DEPICTS THE EVENTS THAT
HAPPENED AROUND WORLD WAR
II.
THEY TURNED AWAY THOUSANDS
OF JEWS ESCAPING EUROPE.
HIFA PORT WAS KNOWN AS THE
DOCK OF TEARS.
THE BRITISH PREVENTED MORE
THAN 90 SHIPS FROM DOCKING
THERE.
THEY WERE CARRYING TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF JEWS FLEEING
EUROPE, TRYING TO RETURN
TO THEIR BIBLICAL
HOMELAND.
I'M HERE TO COMMEMORATE
THOSE JEWS WHO SUFFERED OR
DIED AS A RESULT OF THE
SHAMEFUL POLICIES OF THE
BRITISH GO! O GOVERNMENT OF THE
DAY.
WE TURNED THEM AWAY AND
PUT THEM IN CAMPS IN
CYPRUS, AND EVEN SOME OF
THEM WERE RETURNED TO
DEPORTATION CAMPS IN
GERMANY.
AND OTHERS WHO WEREN'T
TURNED AWAY FROM THEIR
LANDS WERE ACTUALLY
INCARCERATED HERE IN THIS
DETENTION CAMP.
Reporter: THE BRITISH
BASICALLY LOCKED UP
THOUSANDS OF JEWISH
REFUGEES HERE AT ELITE
DETENTION CAMP.
THEY SPRAYED THE NEWCOMERS
WITH SPEF PESTICIDE, SENT THEM
TO THE SHOWERS, AND
SEPARATED THE WOMEN FROM
THE MEN.
IT IS HISTORY THAT IS
OFTEN LOST BETWEEN WORLD
WAR II AND THE FOUNDING OF
THE JEWISH STATE.
THIS WHOLE PERIOD OF
THE BRITISH HISTORY IS
SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN ON
MY HEART FOR A LONG TIME,
AND THE NEED FOR PEOPLE
FROM BRITAIN TO REALLY
CONFESS AND REPENT FOR
WHAT BRITAIN DID AT THAT
TIME.
Reporter: ROSS BEGAN
THE GROUP "REPAIRING THE
BREACH," AND ORGANIZED A
DAY OF REPENTANCE.
SOME 200 PARTICIPANTS, AND
JEWISH VICTIMS OF THAT
TIME, CAME TOGETHER.
FIRST AT THE HIFA PORT AND
THEN AT THE DETENTION
CAMP.
AS WE HAVE TAKEN UP
CONCESSION AND PRAYERS
WITH DEEP SORROW FOR OUR
NATION'S RENEGING ON THE
BALFOUR DECLARATION AND
TURNING OUR BACK ON THE
JEWISH PEOPLE.
WE KNOW THAT THE PAST
CANNOT BE CHANGED, BUT IT
CAN BE REDEEMED.
Reporter: THE
CHRISTIANS HANDED OUT
BIBLES TO MARK THE
INCIDENT WHEN A BRITISH
SHIP COMMANDER ORDERED THE
BURNING OF ALL BOOKS IN
HEBREW AND YIDDISH,
INCLUDING JEWISH BIBLES.
SURVIVORS HAD MIXED
REACTIONS TO THE CHRISTIAN
APPEAL.
IF I FORGIVE THEM, WILL
IT
RAISE THE
DEAD?
THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS,
NONE.
NOTHING IN THE
WORLD
CAN
BRING THEM BACK.
I WANTED TO MEET OTHER
BRITISH PEOPLE, TO HEAR
FROM THEM WHAT THEIR
OPINION ABOUT THE EVENTS
IS.
AND NOW I SEE IT IS NOT
ONLY THAT, BUT ALSO FOR
ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS.
IT IS VERY, VERY
IMPORTANT.
I'M VERY GLAD TO BE AT
THIS EVENT.
Reporter: LORD SIMON
ISAACS REDDING SAID THEY
BREACHED THEIR CONTRACT
WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
THAT CONTRACT WAS THE
BALFOUR DECLARATION IN
1917, THE SAN RAMO TREATY
IN 1920, AND THAT WAS ALL
RATIFIED IN THE TREATY OF
1923.
THERE WAS A CONTRACT WHICH
ESSENTIALLY THEIR BRITISH
GOVERNMENT BROKE.
Reporter: HE SAID
THERE WERE TWO REASONS.
PEACE WITH THE ARABS
AND THE GOVERNMENT WHICH
WAS ESSENTIALLY
ANTI-JEWISH.
Reporter: REDDING
HOPES THE BRITISH
GOVERNMENT ADMITS ITS
MISTAKE IN TIME FOR THE
100th ANNIVERSARY OF THE
BALFOUR DECLARATION IN
2017.
THIS COMMANDER IN
AFGHANISTAN SAYS WILL IS
ALSO A MESSAGE FOR TODAY.
NOT TO CONDEMN ISRAEL,
BUT TO STAND UP FOR ISRAEL
AND SUPPORT ISRAEL, AS
ISRAEL SO OFTEN SUPPORTS
US.
Reporter: CHRIS
MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,
JERUSALEM.
Erick: IT MUST BE
MENTIONED THAT WINSTON
CHURCHILL, WHO WAS PRIME
MINISTER OF GREAT BRITAIN
FOR THE BULK OF WORLD WAR
II, WAS A FRIEND TO ISRAEL
AND A FRIEND TO THE JEWISH
PEOPLE.
> WELL, SPEAKING OF
CHURCHILL, ONE OF MY
HEROS, UP NEXT, STRATEGIES
FOR VICTORY IN THE WAR
WE'RE LOCKED IN IN 2016.
STAY TUNED.
Erick: AND WELCOME
BACK.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE MIDDLE
EAST IS MORE CHAOTIC THAN
EVER BEFORE.
SO WHAT SHOULD THE UNITED
STATES DO?
NUMBER ONE, I'VE SAID IT
MANY TIMES HERE ON THIS
SHOW, DESTROY ISIS AND ITS
CALIPHATE IN SYRIA AND
IRAQ.
IT SOUNDS ALMOST
SIMPLISTIC, I KNOW, BUT,
LOOK, LOOK BACK TO
AFGHANISTAN BEFORE 9/11,
FOLKS, al-QAEDA HAD A
SAFE HAVEN TO PLOT AND
PLAN FOR YEARS, AND THEY
ENDED UP CARRYING OUT
9/11.
THAT WAS THE END RESULT OF
THE SAFE HAVEN al-QAEDA
ENJOYED IN AFGHANISTAN.
TODAY, WHY DO WE HAVE A
DOG IN THIS HUNT?
WELL, ISIS HAS A SAFE
HAVEN, ACROSS 36,000
SQUARE MILES OF TERRITORY
IN IRAQ AND SYRIA, IN THE
HEART OF THE MIDDLE EAST,
AND THEY HAVE THE ADDED
BENEFIT, IN THEIR VIEW, OF
THOUSANDS OF WESTERN
RECRUITS, BRITS, FRENCH,
GERMANS, DANES, AND, YES,
AMERICANS, WHO CAN ENTER
OUR COUNTRY AND MOVE
AROUND FREELY.
I CAN ASSURE YOU LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN THAT EVERY
DAY ISIS AND ITS FOLLOWERS
IN THE CALIPHATE ARE
WORKING DILIGENTLY TO COME
UP WITH NEW PLANS TO
ATTACK AMERICA.
JUST LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED
IN PARIS, FOR INSTANCE,
WHERE WE HAD PEOPLE COMING
FROM THE ISIS CALIPHATE TO
PARIS TO HELP DIRECT AND
CARRY OUT THIS ATTACK.
IF YOU DESTROY ISIS WHERE
IT LIVES AND BREATHS, IN
THAT ISLAMIC STATE, YOU
WILL, HOPEFULLY, PUT A
DENT IN THE IDEOLOGY AND
DEMORALIZE THE GLOBAL
MOVEMENT THAT LOOKS AT THE
RETURN OF THE CALIPHATE AS
A GREAT PROPHETIC EVENT.
SO THAT'S NUMBER ONE WITH
ISIS.
AND, BY THE WAY, IT
DOESN'T TAKE A HEAVY
GROUND FOOTPRINT, LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN, REGARDLESS
OF WHAT PRESIDENT OBAMA
SAYS.
THINK BACK AGAIN TO
AFGHANISTAN, WHERE WE HAD
THE C.I.A., SPECIAL
FORCES, ON THE GROUND
AFTER 9/11, WORKING WITH
THE NORTHERN ALLIANCE.
THEY WERE ABLE TO ROUTE
THE TALIBAN.
WE CAN DO THE SAME THING
TODAY IN IRAQ AND SYRIA,
WORKING WITH THE KURDS,
FOR INSTANCE, WHO ARE
FIERCE FIGHTERS, WHO ARE
VERY PRO-AMERICAN.
DON'T KID YOURSELF.
ISIS IS NOT AN 800-POUND
GORILLA.
THEY CAN BE DEFEATED AND
DEFEATED IN SHORT ORDER,
BUT WE NEED THE POLITICAL
WILL HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES.
> WE'RE SHORT ON TIME,
BUT SECONDLY I HAVE TO
MENTION IRAN BEFORE WE GO.
WE SHOULD SCRAP THE
DISASTEROUS NUCLEAR DEAL.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS
GOING TO HAPPEN.
I DON'T KNOW WHO IS GOING
TO BECOME PRESIDENT IN
2016, BUT THAT DEAL SHOULD
BE ON THE TABLE AND
AUTOMATICALLY SCRAPPED.
WE NEED TO CLOSE THE VICE
ON THAT IRANIAN REGIME.
WORK FOR A REGIME CHANGE.
BECAUSE IT IS SPREADING
ITS TENTACLES THROUGHOUT
THE REGION IN A VERY
DANGEROUS WAY.
AND AS WE REPORTED HERE ON
THE SHOW, IRAN IS WORKING
ON INTERCONTINENTAL
BALLISTIC MISSILES THAT
COULD ONE DAY REACH THE
UNITED STATES.
AND COULD ONE DAY, IF
THINGS KEEP GOING THE WAY
THEY'RE GOING, BE MOUNTED
WITH A NUCLEAR WAR HEAD.
SO THERE YOU GO, FOLKS,
2016, ISIS AND IRAN, VERY
SIMILAR TO 2015.
KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT ISIS
AND IRAN ARE DOING.
KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT RUSSIA
IS DOING.
AND KEEP AN EYE ON THIS
BREWING HOME-GROWN JIHAD
IN OUR BACKYARD AND IN
EUROPE AND THE CONTINUED
FLOW OF REFUGEES FROM THE
MIDDLE EAST.
WE LIVE IN PERILOUS TIMES,
BUT, AGAIN, GOD ALMIGHTY
SITS ON THE THRONE.
THERE IS NO POLITICAL
MESSIAH COMING AROUND THE
CORNER IN 2016, BUT WE
HAVE THE TRUE MESSIAH, AND
HIS NAME IS JESUS.
SO BE COMFORTED.
HAVE PEACE.
IT WILL ALL BE OKAY, I
ASSURE YOU.
BUT STAY IN PRAYER BECAUSE
WE ARE ENTERING A
TUMULTUOUS YEAR.
THANKS FOR JOINING US HERE
ON THE-WATCHEON "THE WATCHMAN" ON 2015,
AND LOOK FOR US IN 2016.
UNTIL
