Stakelbeck Tonight | Erick Stakelbeck: December 10, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | December 10, 2025
  • Stackelbeck. tonight i'm erik stackelbeck, and it is becoming
  • 00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:22.109
  • Very clear that the free ride is over for europe. the trump
  • 00:00:22.109 --> 00:00:26.013
  • Administration just released its new national security
  • 00:00:26.013 --> 00:00:29.283
  • Strategy, and it calls europe on the carpet over its
  • 00:00:29.283 --> 00:00:33.287
  • Inability to defend itself, its embrace of open borders and
  • 00:00:33.287 --> 00:00:37.691
  • Mass muslim immigration, and its abandonment of free speech
  • 00:00:37.691 --> 00:00:41.228
  • And judeo-christian values. before we dig into it, let's
  • 00:00:41.228 --> 00:00:45.299
  • Set the table. ever since 1945 and the end of world war two,
  • 00:00:45.299 --> 00:00:50.137
  • Western europe has been dependent on the united states
  • 00:00:50.137 --> 00:00:53.441
  • For its security. the us protected europe from the
  • 00:00:53.441 --> 00:00:56.310
  • Soviet union during the cold war, and then took the lead in
  • 00:00:56.310 --> 00:01:00.247
  • The war on terror after nine over 11. european nations
  • 00:01:00.247 --> 00:01:02.983
  • Refused to invest in their national defense and chose to
  • 00:01:02.983 --> 00:01:06.020
  • Rely on the united states instead. fast forward to today,
  • 00:01:06.020 --> 00:01:11.392
  • And president trump just did what europe had also refused to
  • 00:01:11.392 --> 00:01:15.729
  • Do for years by destroying iran's nuclear weapons program.
  • 00:01:15.729 --> 00:01:19.433
  • A nuclear iran threatened the entire western world, yet
  • 00:01:19.433 --> 00:01:23.337
  • Europe would not join the us in taking decisive action to
  • 00:01:23.337 --> 00:01:27.241
  • Eliminate the threat. and while vladimir putin and xi jinping
  • 00:01:27.241 --> 00:01:31.579
  • Scoff at european weakness, they aren't laughing at the
  • 00:01:31.579 --> 00:01:34.482
  • United states under president trump. the trump doctrine is
  • 00:01:34.482 --> 00:01:37.518
  • All about peace through strength. europe is not. that's
  • 00:01:37.518 --> 00:01:42.323
  • Why the administration's new national security strategy
  • 00:01:42.323 --> 00:01:45.526
  • Urges european nations to start taking more responsibility for
  • 00:01:45.526 --> 00:01:49.263
  • Their own security. now, the 33 page document says that europe
  • 00:01:49.263 --> 00:01:53.334
  • Faces economic decline that could be eclipsed by the real
  • 00:01:53.334 --> 00:01:58.806
  • And more stark prospect of civilizational erasure over the
  • 00:01:58.806 --> 00:02:02.243
  • Long term. it goes on to say that it is more than plausible
  • 00:02:02.243 --> 00:02:06.147
  • That within a few decades, at the latest, certain nato
  • 00:02:06.147 --> 00:02:09.049
  • Members will become majority non-european should present
  • 00:02:09.049 --> 00:02:12.319
  • Trends continue. it says the continent will be
  • 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.157
  • Unrecognizable in 20 years or less. we want europe to remain
  • 00:02:16.157 --> 00:02:19.693
  • European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence
  • 00:02:19.693 --> 00:02:22.596
  • And to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation. amen.
  • 00:02:22.596 --> 00:02:28.502
  • Here's more from vice president jd vance.
  • 00:02:28.502 --> 00:02:31.305
  • >> germany's entire defense is subsidized by the american
  • 00:02:31.305 --> 00:02:35.809
  • Taxpayer. there are thousands upon thousands of american
  • 00:02:35.809 --> 00:02:39.647
  • Troops in germany today. do you think that the american
  • 00:02:39.647 --> 00:02:42.783
  • Taxpayer is going to stand for that? if you get thrown in jail
  • 00:02:42.783 --> 00:02:46.187
  • In germany for posting a mean tweet? of course they're not.
  • 00:02:46.187 --> 00:02:49.557
  • Right. so, so so the point that i try to make to our european
  • 00:02:49.557 --> 00:02:53.561
  • Friends, and i think that they're our friends, i believe
  • 00:02:53.561 --> 00:02:56.197
  • That i know president trump does, is that friendship is
  • 00:02:56.197 --> 00:02:59.099
  • Based on shared values. you do not have shared values. if
  • 00:02:59.099 --> 00:03:03.404
  • You're jailing people for saying we should close down our
  • 00:03:03.404 --> 00:03:06.173
  • Border, you don't have shared values. if you cancel elections
  • 00:03:06.173 --> 00:03:10.344
  • Because you don't like the result. and that happened in
  • 00:03:10.344 --> 00:03:13.080
  • Romania. you don't have you do not have shared values. if
  • 00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:17.051
  • You're so afraid of your own people that you silence them
  • 00:03:17.051 --> 00:03:21.055
  • And shut them up.
  • 00:03:21.055 --> 00:03:23.824
  • >> folks, that's very well said by the vice president. we've
  • 00:03:23.824 --> 00:03:27.228
  • Been sharing here with you on stackelbeck. tonight, how
  • 00:03:27.228 --> 00:03:30.264
  • Germany, the uk and other european nations are cracking
  • 00:03:30.264 --> 00:03:33.367
  • Down on citizens who dare criticize the mass muslim
  • 00:03:33.367 --> 00:03:37.571
  • Migration that their governments have allowed, and
  • 00:03:37.571 --> 00:03:40.107
  • Which has fundamentally changed the character of europe?
  • 00:03:40.107 --> 00:03:43.978
  • There's a reason that christmas markets across europe this
  • 00:03:43.978 --> 00:03:47.514
  • Month resemble armed fortresses. islam is rising on a continent
  • 00:03:47.514 --> 00:03:52.253
  • Which once spread the gospel throughout the world, and it's
  • 00:03:52.253 --> 00:03:55.356
  • Been welcomed in by week. woke european leaders who have
  • 00:03:55.356 --> 00:04:00.294
  • Forgotten the christian biblical foundation that built
  • 00:04:00.294 --> 00:04:04.198
  • Their nations and all of western civilization. it's no
  • 00:04:04.198 --> 00:04:07.134
  • Wonder europe is so hostile to israel, the very nation where
  • 00:04:07.134 --> 00:04:11.138
  • That civilization was born. here's european union president
  • 00:04:11.138 --> 00:04:15.309
  • Ursula von der leyen. the quintessential ultra secular
  • 00:04:15.309 --> 00:04:19.880
  • Euro bureaucrat, responding to concerns over mass migration by
  • 00:04:19.880 --> 00:04:24.385
  • Promising even more third world migration. watch.
  • 00:04:24.385 --> 00:04:28.622
  • >> and therefore, we must open more safe, safe pathways, legal
  • 00:04:28.622 --> 00:04:35.129
  • Pathways to europe. we must create more bridges between our
  • 00:04:35.129 --> 00:04:40.801
  • Continents. we must make sure that people can find a job
  • 00:04:40.801 --> 00:04:44.571
  • Where their talent is needed, match the skills, bring skills
  • 00:04:44.571 --> 00:04:49.443
  • Across our borders. and this is at the heart of our new talent
  • 00:04:49.443 --> 00:04:55.582
  • Partnership, which offer work routes into europe. so far,
  • 00:04:55.582 --> 00:05:02.122
  • Five countries have signed up to them, and we hope that more
  • 00:05:02.122 --> 00:05:07.261
  • Of you will follow. this is such an important model to work
  • 00:05:07.261 --> 00:05:11.231
  • On. we have just agreed to create a new talent pool. it
  • 00:05:11.231 --> 00:05:16.203
  • Will match the european employers and their needs with
  • 00:05:16.203 --> 00:05:20.274
  • The non-european job seekers and their skills.
  • 00:05:20.274 --> 00:05:25.479
  • >> but what about native european workers and their
  • 00:05:25.479 --> 00:05:30.551
  • Skills? ursula doesn't want to talk about that. she says this
  • 00:05:30.551 --> 00:05:34.188
  • Government mandated mass migration will help stop the
  • 00:05:34.188 --> 00:05:37.324
  • Illegal immigration that is destroying europe from within.
  • 00:05:37.324 --> 00:05:40.361
  • Good luck with that. you can see why the trump
  • 00:05:40.361 --> 00:05:43.297
  • Administration is so alarmed about europe's present and
  • 00:05:43.297 --> 00:05:46.166
  • Future, and what it means for the united states. folks, we
  • 00:05:46.166 --> 00:05:49.470
  • Have long standing friendships, alliances, and cultural ties
  • 00:05:49.470 --> 00:05:53.507
  • With european nations. obviously, without europe,
  • 00:05:53.507 --> 00:05:57.177
  • There would be no united states today. so let's pray that
  • 00:05:57.177 --> 00:06:00.614
  • Europeans can rediscover a backbone and our common
  • 00:06:00.614 --> 00:06:05.052
  • Judeo-christian values, values that built the west and made it
  • 00:06:05.052 --> 00:06:09.556
  • Great, because the hour is late and the barbarians aren't just
  • 00:06:09.556 --> 00:06:12.960
  • At the gates, they're inside them. well, president trump's
  • 00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:17.398
  • National security strategy covered a lot more ground,
  • 00:06:17.398 --> 00:06:20.134
  • Including china, russia, the middle east, and right here in
  • 00:06:20.134 --> 00:06:23.137
  • The western hemisphere. national security expert cliff
  • 00:06:23.137 --> 00:06:26.340
  • May is here to break down the strategy and what it means for
  • 00:06:26.340 --> 00:06:30.778
  • You next. welcome back to
  • 00:06:30.778 --> 00:06:38.005
  • You next. welcome back to
  • 00:06:38.005 --> 00:06:42.222
  • Stackelbeck tonight from the trump administration's new
  • 00:06:43.323 --> 00:06:46.160
  • National security strategy to israeli prime minister benjamin
  • 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.130
  • Netanyahu traveling to dc later this month to tensions brewing
  • 00:06:50.130 --> 00:06:54.401
  • With venezuela, the world stage is heating up as 2025 comes to
  • 00:06:54.401 --> 00:06:58.172
  • A close. here to break it down for us is our good friend cliff
  • 00:06:58.172 --> 00:07:02.509
  • May, president and founder of the foundation for defense of
  • 00:07:02.509 --> 00:07:05.245
  • Democracies in washington, dc. cliff, always great to see you.
  • 00:07:05.245 --> 00:07:08.282
  • Hey, big takeaways from the national security strategy. i
  • 00:07:08.282 --> 00:07:11.285
  • See obviously, the call for accountability from europe is
  • 00:07:11.285 --> 00:07:14.421
  • One big one, of course. but how do you see this new strategy
  • 00:07:14.421 --> 00:07:18.425
  • The trump administration administration has put out?
  • 00:07:18.425 --> 00:07:20.427
  • Cliff and how does it differ from the previous
  • 00:07:20.427 --> 00:07:23.897
  • Administration?
  • 00:07:23.897 --> 00:07:25.098
  • >> great to see you, eric. one thing i would just point out is
  • 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.669
  • We call it a national security strategy. in a way, it's more a
  • 00:07:28.669 --> 00:07:31.104
  • National prioritization strategy. why do i say that?
  • 00:07:31.104 --> 00:07:34.341
  • Because you don't tell your enemies exactly what your
  • 00:07:34.341 --> 00:07:37.711
  • Strategy is to to to defeat them or to to keep them in, to
  • 00:07:37.711 --> 00:07:42.916
  • Contain them. you sort of want to let people in the various
  • 00:07:42.916 --> 00:07:48.055
  • Agencies and bureaucracies know what's important to you. in
  • 00:07:48.055 --> 00:07:52.059
  • Some ways, i would say it's the the national security strategy
  • 00:07:52.059 --> 00:07:57.164
  • In the first trump administration i thought was
  • 00:07:57.164 --> 00:08:00.267
  • Very, very good, very i thought more clearer on who our
  • 00:08:00.267 --> 00:08:05.672
  • Adversaries and enemies are than this one is. this one's a
  • 00:08:05.672 --> 00:08:09.209
  • Little cagey about that. and let me just be clear. what i'm
  • 00:08:09.209 --> 00:08:13.480
  • Talking about is beijing and moscow have what they call
  • 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.583
  • Putin and xi jinping a no limits partnership. and they
  • 00:08:16.583 --> 00:08:19.219
  • Are also in a partnership with tehran and with pyongyang, with
  • 00:08:19.219 --> 00:08:24.091
  • North korea. we call this in my think tank, the the axis of
  • 00:08:24.091 --> 00:08:27.961
  • Aggressors. they all have one thing in common, and that's
  • 00:08:27.961 --> 00:08:31.498
  • That they want to diminish the us. now, you can see in this
  • 00:08:31.498 --> 00:08:35.469
  • National security strategy document that that's understood,
  • 00:08:35.469 --> 00:08:38.272
  • But it's not stated quite so explicitly.
  • 00:08:38.272 --> 00:08:41.375
  • >> wow. interesting. and there's big emphasis also cliff,
  • 00:08:41.375 --> 00:08:44.344
  • On the western hemisphere. obviously tensions rising with
  • 00:08:44.344 --> 00:08:48.181
  • Venezuela. what do you think of that renewed emphasis on our
  • 00:08:48.181 --> 00:08:51.184
  • Own backyard.
  • 00:08:51.184 --> 00:08:52.486
  • >> i think there's merit to it. let me point out to you that we
  • 00:08:52.486 --> 00:08:56.156
  • Have in latin america, which are in the southern half of the
  • 00:08:56.156 --> 00:09:00.093
  • Western hemisphere, we have three serious adversaries
  • 00:09:00.093 --> 00:09:04.298
  • Venezuela's one, cuba's another, nicaragua's another. and
  • 00:09:04.298 --> 00:09:08.235
  • Venezuela also is tied in with this axis of aggressors. we
  • 00:09:08.235 --> 00:09:12.306
  • Call them part of the axis of enablers. tehran, russia in
  • 00:09:12.306 --> 00:09:16.577
  • Particular, are very close with the maduro regime. and as the
  • 00:09:16.577 --> 00:09:21.381
  • President trump has made clear, this is an illegitimate regime.
  • 00:09:21.381 --> 00:09:25.252
  • Maduro lost the last election. he has cuban advisors with him
  • 00:09:25.252 --> 00:09:30.591
  • There. it is also involved in narcotics trafficking. and this
  • 00:09:30.591 --> 00:09:34.328
  • Is another problem in for venezuela and other parts of
  • 00:09:34.328 --> 00:09:38.131
  • Latin america, where the narco cartels are making common cause
  • 00:09:38.131 --> 00:09:42.269
  • With terrorist groups, the leading one being hezbollah
  • 00:09:42.269 --> 00:09:46.406
  • From lebanon. what do they have in common? well, the narco
  • 00:09:46.406 --> 00:09:50.143
  • Terrorism, the narco cartels might say, can you help us with
  • 00:09:50.143 --> 00:09:53.513
  • Weapons? can you help us with perhaps money laundering? what
  • 00:09:53.513 --> 00:09:56.483
  • Can we help you with? this is a dangerous situation that has
  • 00:09:56.483 --> 00:10:00.120
  • Been allowed to get kind of out of control. and i think
  • 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.123
  • Prioritizing it is is worthwhile, though i don't want
  • 00:10:03.123 --> 00:10:05.359
  • To give up on the rest of the world where i think american
  • 00:10:05.359 --> 00:10:08.695
  • Leadership also is absolutely necessary.
  • 00:10:08.695 --> 00:10:10.197
  • >> yeah, cliff. well said. we cannot have fortress america.
  • 00:10:10.197 --> 00:10:14.134
  • And that brings us to the middle east. you mentioned iran,
  • 00:10:14.134 --> 00:10:17.104
  • Hezbollah, their presence in our hemisphere. what do you
  • 00:10:17.104 --> 00:10:19.406
  • Think of the posture the administration is taking
  • 00:10:19.406 --> 00:10:22.075
  • Towards the world's most chaotic and strategic region,
  • 00:10:22.075 --> 00:10:25.379
  • The middle east? in this new document.
  • 00:10:25.379 --> 00:10:27.514
  • >> their document looks forward to something that i hope will
  • 00:10:27.514 --> 00:10:33.220
  • Come to pass. and that's a new security architecture for the
  • 00:10:33.220 --> 00:10:36.423
  • Middle east to at least contain. i'd rather see them overthrow
  • 00:10:36.423 --> 00:10:41.395
  • In some way the rulers of iran. those rulers are outspokenly
  • 00:10:41.395 --> 00:10:47.334
  • Jihadi out. they, they, they have been chanting since 1979.
  • 00:10:47.334 --> 00:10:51.071
  • Death to israel and death to america. they are a threat to
  • 00:10:51.071 --> 00:10:55.409
  • Israel, they say. so they're genocidal towards israel.
  • 00:10:55.409 --> 00:10:58.145
  • They're a threat towards saudi arabia, towards the united arab
  • 00:10:58.145 --> 00:11:00.514
  • Emirates, towards bahrain. so a new security architecture, what
  • 00:11:00.514 --> 00:11:04.651
  • Would that mean? it would really mean israel and saudi
  • 00:11:04.651 --> 00:11:07.220
  • Arabia and the united arab emirates all being together as
  • 00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:12.192
  • A force that doesn't need a lot of american help, some american
  • 00:11:12.192 --> 00:11:16.329
  • Help, but not a lot. and managing stability in the
  • 00:11:16.329 --> 00:11:20.067
  • Region, which and quiet in the region. region, if not just
  • 00:11:20.067 --> 00:11:23.970
  • Peace, which is what israel wants and what the saudis want,
  • 00:11:23.970 --> 00:11:27.340
  • Because the crown prince of saudi arabia really wants to
  • 00:11:27.340 --> 00:11:30.444
  • Transform his nation into a into a very modern and
  • 00:11:30.444 --> 00:11:34.548
  • Important economic power and an important power in the middle
  • 00:11:34.548 --> 00:11:37.184
  • East. and again, he's threatened by iran's rulers,
  • 00:11:37.184 --> 00:11:40.353
  • Who don't like the fact that saudi arabia is the custodian
  • 00:11:40.353 --> 00:11:44.324
  • Of mecca and medina, the most important religious sites
  • 00:11:44.324 --> 00:11:47.360
  • Within the world of islam.
  • 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.562
  • >> yeah. we'll see if the abraham accords are back on the
  • 00:11:48.562 --> 00:11:51.164
  • Table in the very near future. cliff. also in this document,
  • 00:11:51.164 --> 00:11:54.568
  • The trump administration turns up the heat on europe over
  • 00:11:54.568 --> 00:11:57.604
  • Europe's really abandonment in many ways of its civilization,
  • 00:11:57.604 --> 00:12:00.607
  • The opening of its borders, the mass muslim migration into the
  • 00:12:00.607 --> 00:12:03.977
  • Continent. what does the future of the us european relationship
  • 00:12:03.977 --> 00:12:08.682
  • Look like? in particular, if europe doesn't get the memo and
  • 00:12:08.682 --> 00:12:11.785
  • Change its trajectory.
  • 00:12:11.785 --> 00:12:13.320
  • >> yes, it will be a weakening relationship between the us and
  • 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.024
  • Europe going forward. if europe doesn't change a lot of its
  • 00:12:18.024 --> 00:12:21.294
  • Policies, so long as europe is focused inordinately on co2
  • 00:12:21.294 --> 00:12:26.399
  • Emissions and not understanding what it means to have so much
  • 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:32.038
  • Migration from islamic countries, and that that, you
  • 00:12:32.038 --> 00:12:36.343
  • Know, at one point there was the hope that when muslims came
  • 00:12:36.343 --> 00:12:39.546
  • To europe, they would be europeanized as opposed to what
  • 00:12:39.546 --> 00:12:43.316
  • May be happening, which is europe becoming islamicized.
  • 00:12:43.316 --> 00:12:46.787
  • This is there's been warnings about this for years. melanie
  • 00:12:46.787 --> 00:12:50.590
  • Phillips, prominent columnist for british columnist, she
  • 00:12:50.590 --> 00:12:54.127
  • Wrote a book some years ago called londonistan. there's
  • 00:12:54.127 --> 00:12:58.431
  • Real problems ahead for europe. there is this problem. and i
  • 00:12:58.431 --> 00:13:03.036
  • Think what the thing is that for trump to point that out is
  • 00:13:03.036 --> 00:13:06.807
  • Very bold, but he's saying, you really have to deal with this.
  • 00:13:06.807 --> 00:13:10.410
  • You really also have to do what's necessary to defend
  • 00:13:10.410 --> 00:13:13.313
  • Yourself, to defend your civilization, to defend your
  • 00:13:13.313 --> 00:13:16.049
  • History, to defend your culture against russia, against the
  • 00:13:16.049 --> 00:13:19.419
  • Islamic world that wants to take you over. you do not do
  • 00:13:19.419 --> 00:13:23.990
  • Not want to be colonized. while you are saying, aren't we
  • 00:13:23.990 --> 00:13:27.160
  • Terrible? because once upon a time we had colonies ourselves.
  • 00:13:27.160 --> 00:13:31.064
  • Europe is not great, not great shape. and it's it's mostly the
  • 00:13:31.064 --> 00:13:35.001
  • Trajectory. and one hopes this is a wake up call. i know the
  • 00:13:35.001 --> 00:13:38.438
  • Europeans are not happy about it, but they need to be friends.
  • 00:13:38.438 --> 00:13:42.209
  • Need to tell the truth to friends.
  • 00:13:42.209 --> 00:13:43.410
  • >> yeah, there's some harsh realities in there and we are
  • 00:13:43.410 --> 00:13:46.079
  • Locked in a civilizational struggle. we need europe in the
  • 00:13:46.079 --> 00:13:49.115
  • Fight. cliff, as always, great breakdown, my friend. folks,

  • The break, our good friend brooke goldstein is here. hey,
  • 00:13:57.357 --> 00:14:00.160
  • What about that muslim brotherhood designation, folks,
  • 00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:02.162
  • By president trump? the states of florida and texas as well.
  • 00:14:02.162 --> 00:14:05.165
  • And the rise of anti-semitism. what's being done to combat
  • 00:14:05.165 --> 00:14:08.468
  • That? we've got a great breakdown next. stick around.
  • 00:14:08.468 --> 00:14:15.002
  • That? we've got a great breakdown next. stick around.
  • 00:14:15.002 --> 00:14:19.041
  • Welcome back to stackelbeck tonight. with anti-semitism on
  • 00:14:20.209 --> 00:14:23.412
  • The rise worldwide and terrorist movements like the
  • 00:14:23.412 --> 00:14:26.082
  • Muslim brotherhood sinking their claws into the west, it's
  • 00:14:26.082 --> 00:14:30.453
  • Very important now more than ever to fight for truth. for
  • 00:14:30.453 --> 00:14:34.023
  • Years, brooke goldstein has been doing exactly that. she's
  • 00:14:34.023 --> 00:14:37.226
  • Executive director of the lawfare project and founder of
  • 00:14:37.226 --> 00:14:40.596
  • The global end jew hatred movement. and she joins us now.
  • 00:14:40.596 --> 00:14:44.066
  • Brooke, always great to see you. hey, you have been sounding the
  • 00:14:44.066 --> 00:14:47.536
  • Alarm about the muslim brotherhood, the council on
  • 00:14:47.536 --> 00:14:50.239
  • American islamic relations, or care for years. and now in the
  • 00:14:50.239 --> 00:14:54.210
  • State where you're sitting right now, florida governor ron
  • 00:14:54.210 --> 00:14:56.545
  • Desantis just this week designated the brotherhood and
  • 00:14:56.545 --> 00:14:59.148
  • Care as terrorist organizations as follows. of course, texas
  • 00:14:59.148 --> 00:15:02.318
  • Doing the same thing. president trump putting the heat on the
  • 00:15:02.318 --> 00:15:05.421
  • Brotherhood as well. brooke, how significant are these moves?
  • 00:15:05.421 --> 00:15:09.225
  • >> extraordinarily significant. this is something that people
  • 00:15:09.225 --> 00:15:12.094
  • In the counterterrorism community have been calling for
  • 00:15:12.094 --> 00:15:15.331
  • Since after nine over 11, because we've seen a steady
  • 00:15:15.331 --> 00:15:19.235
  • Infiltration into this country, in our schools, in our
  • 00:15:19.235 --> 00:15:23.205
  • Institutions, through charitable organizations of
  • 00:15:23.205 --> 00:15:27.576
  • Muslim brotherhood, connected individuals and organizations
  • 00:15:27.576 --> 00:15:31.380
  • That have one goal, and that is to undermine the stability and
  • 00:15:31.380 --> 00:15:35.184
  • Security of our country. and this is really an issue that
  • 00:15:35.184 --> 00:15:39.455
  • Every american should pay attention to because, you know,
  • 00:15:39.455 --> 00:15:41.991
  • As you mentioned in your intro about rising jew hatred, you
  • 00:15:41.991 --> 00:15:46.329
  • Know, i see the problem more as about a rise of radical islam.
  • 00:15:46.329 --> 00:15:50.299
  • And we need to be able to exercise our first amendment
  • 00:15:50.299 --> 00:15:53.436
  • Rights to speak freely about this, especially as a woman.
  • 00:15:53.436 --> 00:15:56.172
  • When you look at sharia law, when you look at the values
  • 00:15:56.172 --> 00:16:00.109
  • That islamism advocates, you know, the abuse and subjugation
  • 00:16:00.109 --> 00:16:04.280
  • Of women, the murder of gays, the murder of minority
  • 00:16:04.280 --> 00:16:08.250
  • Communities, forced conversions, the complete takeover of
  • 00:16:08.250 --> 00:16:12.888
  • Societies, reestablishing a caliphate under sharia law.
  • 00:16:12.888 --> 00:16:15.257
  • None of this is compatible with liberal democracy. none of this
  • 00:16:15.257 --> 00:16:20.096
  • Is compatible with our judeo-christian values. and so
  • 00:16:20.096 --> 00:16:23.165
  • Why is it that we have these charitable organizations, so to
  • 00:16:23.165 --> 00:16:27.069
  • Speak, operating with 500 1c3 status in the united states,
  • 00:16:27.069 --> 00:16:32.008
  • Who are really muslim brotherhood front organizations,
  • 00:16:32.008 --> 00:16:35.878
  • The muslim brotherhood being, you know, the mother of all
  • 00:16:35.878 --> 00:16:39.648
  • Terrorist groups.
  • 00:16:39.648 --> 00:16:40.783
  • >> yeah. and, brooke, you've, you know, locked horns with
  • 00:16:40.883 --> 00:16:43.719
  • These front groups in your great work at the lawfare
  • 00:16:43.719 --> 00:16:46.188
  • Project. what role do they play, by the way, these islamists in
  • 00:16:46.188 --> 00:16:50.126
  • America in promoting anti-semitism and the spread of
  • 00:16:50.126 --> 00:16:53.362
  • Anti-semitism in our country.
  • 00:16:53.362 --> 00:16:56.165
  • >> so, of course, they promote the spread of jew hatred. but
  • 00:16:56.165 --> 00:16:59.068
  • This is just a guise. they want to divert your attention to the
  • 00:16:59.068 --> 00:17:04.640
  • So-called israeli-palestinian conflict, so that we're not
  • 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:08.044
  • Paying attention to what is happening here within our
  • 00:17:08.044 --> 00:17:11.614
  • Borders. and of course, you know, i wrote a book, my first
  • 00:17:11.614 --> 00:17:15.384
  • Book, lawfare the war against free speech, about the attempts
  • 00:17:15.384 --> 00:17:18.287
  • By muslim brotherhood front organizations like the council
  • 00:17:18.287 --> 00:17:22.091
  • On american islamic relations to weaponize our judicial
  • 00:17:22.091 --> 00:17:25.995
  • System, to weaponize our courts and our laws using lawfare, the
  • 00:17:25.995 --> 00:17:30.299
  • Use of the law as a weapon of war, filing frivolous lawsuits
  • 00:17:30.299 --> 00:17:34.637
  • Against americans who want to warn about these issues and
  • 00:17:34.637 --> 00:17:38.240
  • Talk about these issues of national security. and recently,
  • 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.143
  • We actually won a motion to dismiss a judge, threw out a
  • 00:17:41.143 --> 00:17:45.081
  • Case that was filed against lawfare project clients, backed
  • 00:17:45.081 --> 00:17:49.118
  • By attorneys at the council on american islamic relations, who
  • 00:17:49.118 --> 00:17:52.221
  • Are attempting to silence and shut down a jewish couple who
  • 00:17:52.221 --> 00:17:56.425
  • Were raising awareness about the rise in anti-semitism. and
  • 00:17:56.425 --> 00:18:00.529
  • We are happy that the law has prevailed, justice has
  • 00:18:00.529 --> 00:18:04.200
  • Prevailed, and care and all those other muslim brotherhood
  • 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.570
  • Front organizations should know that we will no longer tolerate
  • 00:18:07.570 --> 00:18:10.506
  • Their lawfare, and we will pursue the rights of our
  • 00:18:10.506 --> 00:18:14.276
  • Clients, and we will ensure the civil rights of every american
  • 00:18:14.276 --> 00:18:17.279
  • And every minority community is protected against these muslim
  • 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:21.550
  • Brotherhood front lawfare attacks against our society.
  • 00:18:21.550 --> 00:18:26.122
  • >> brooke, number one, that is great news. and number two, i
  • 00:18:26.122 --> 00:18:29.091
  • Love that you used the term jew hatred. it's much more fitting
  • 00:18:29.091 --> 00:18:32.628
  • Than just anti-semitism. it is jew hatred. you, of course,
  • 00:18:32.628 --> 00:18:35.264
  • Founded the global end jew hatred movement. hey, shifting
  • 00:18:35.264 --> 00:18:38.501
  • Gears a bit. prime minister netanyahu coming to dc later
  • 00:18:38.501 --> 00:18:41.303
  • This month, i believe december 29th, he will meet with
  • 00:18:41.303 --> 00:18:44.707
  • President trump for the fifth time this year. brooke, what do
  • 00:18:44.707 --> 00:18:48.244
  • You expect? how this meeting, what can we look ahead to? what
  • 00:18:48.244 --> 00:18:51.280
  • Do you think will be the big agenda items? i suppose gaza,
  • 00:18:51.280 --> 00:18:54.450
  • Of course, would be at the top of the list.
  • 00:18:54.450 --> 00:18:57.186
  • >> well, what we expect is further cooperation.
  • 00:18:57.186 --> 00:18:59.688
  • >> between the two greatest democracies on the planet, who
  • 00:18:59.688 --> 00:19:03.292
  • Are both on the front lines of the war against terror. i think
  • 00:19:03.292 --> 00:19:07.930
  • That netanyahu and the president, president trump, are
  • 00:19:07.930 --> 00:19:11.233
  • Going to be meeting, obviously, about the fact that hamas, a
  • 00:19:11.233 --> 00:19:15.104
  • Designated terrorist organization, has not kept up
  • 00:19:15.104 --> 00:19:18.040
  • Its end of the bargain. it has not disarmed. in fact, what
  • 00:19:18.040 --> 00:19:22.044
  • Hamas is doing is rearming. it's engaging in violence on a
  • 00:19:22.044 --> 00:19:25.915
  • Daily basis against the arab clans in gaza who are set to
  • 00:19:25.915 --> 00:19:31.620
  • Actually be those technocrats when they put the peace plan
  • 00:19:31.620 --> 00:19:34.690
  • Together. hamas is murdering its political opponents on a
  • 00:19:34.690 --> 00:19:39.962
  • Daily basis. we also just discovered it was released and
  • 00:19:39.962 --> 00:19:44.233
  • Now all over social media that hamas was storing baby formula
  • 00:19:44.233 --> 00:19:48.938
  • And other food during the war in a deliberate attempt to
  • 00:19:48.938 --> 00:19:53.642
  • Starve gazan civilians. so the future of gaza depends on the
  • 00:19:53.642 --> 00:19:57.680
  • Terrorist group hamas. and i think that netanyahu and
  • 00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:01.116
  • President trump are going to be talking about how to continue
  • 00:20:01.116 --> 00:20:04.053
  • To put pressure on the terrorist group to disarm,
  • 00:20:04.053 --> 00:20:06.956
  • Although i don't have any high hopes for any voluntary
  • 00:20:06.956 --> 00:20:10.259
  • Disarmament. and i think what is going to happen, frankly,
  • 00:20:10.259 --> 00:20:13.162
  • Eric, is that the israelis will have to reenter gaza and
  • 00:20:13.162 --> 00:20:17.433
  • Finally eliminate that threat. and finally, on that note, i
  • 00:20:17.433 --> 00:20:20.402
  • Think it's important that we start talking about the right
  • 00:20:20.402 --> 00:20:23.572
  • Of the gazan civilians to relocate for their own safety,
  • 00:20:23.572 --> 00:20:27.243
  • Temporarily relocate until this conflict is over, so that they
  • 00:20:27.243 --> 00:20:31.046
  • Cannot be used as human shields for this terrorist group. again.
  • 00:20:31.046 --> 00:20:35.184
  • >> brooke, great points all around. and president trump
  • 00:20:35.184 --> 00:20:38.220
  • Mentioned that relocation plan last february. so hopefully
  • 00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:40.289
  • That's very much still on the table. hey, about a minute left.
  • 00:20:40.289 --> 00:20:43.559
  • How much would pressure on, say, turkey and qatar, good friends
  • 00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:47.830
  • Of hamas? would that make a difference in gaza in getting
  • 00:20:47.830 --> 00:20:51.233
  • Hamas to lay down its arms? at the end of the day.
  • 00:20:51.233 --> 00:20:54.103
  • >> i've always said if qatar wanted the hostages to be
  • 00:20:54.103 --> 00:20:58.040
  • Released on day one of the war on october the 8th, they could
  • 00:20:58.040 --> 00:21:01.510
  • Have done it. but, you know, qatar choose to continue to
  • 00:21:01.510 --> 00:21:05.281
  • Harbor, and i think until this day harbors leaders of hamas.
  • 00:21:05.281 --> 00:21:09.652
  • It was the number one state backer of the terrorist
  • 00:21:09.652 --> 00:21:13.822
  • Organization. qatar likes to suck and blow at the same time.
  • 00:21:13.822 --> 00:21:17.159
  • But we have to remember, you know what this country is? it
  • 00:21:17.159 --> 00:21:20.729
  • Is not a neutral hostage negotiator at all. it is the
  • 00:21:20.729 --> 00:21:26.135
  • Arsonist basically masquerading as the firefighter. and we need
  • 00:21:26.135 --> 00:21:30.139
  • To wake up not just only to qatar's influence in
  • 00:21:30.139 --> 00:21:32.941
  • Destabilizing the middle east by funding terrorist groups,
  • 00:21:32.941 --> 00:21:35.177
  • But qatar's influence here in the united states, globalizing
  • 00:21:35.177 --> 00:21:39.548
  • The intifada, funding radicalization, funding
  • 00:21:39.548 --> 00:21:43.419
  • Anti-americanism in our schools. that is the number one thing
  • 00:21:43.419 --> 00:21:46.155
  • That we need to be worried about when it comes to qatar.
