In terms of fighting isis in the middle east we apparently believe in that. And i hate to pile on but this needs to be piled on about because its that bad. We apparently believe now does our government, that iran could be used as an ally and a counterweight to isis. Folks, lets get one thing clear. Iran has been the head of a global terrorist snake for 36 years, whether its hamas hezbollah, palestinian, islamic jihad, and in some cases alqaeda iran has fueled an tremendous global jihad. Yes, iran and isis are fighting each other right now in serious and iraq. Why . Not because iran is suddenly some friend to the United States in the west. Not because iran has reformed its ideology. Not because the mullahs have changed their spots. Because iran and isis want the same thing. They both want to dominate the region and lead the global jihad. Its that simple. Yes, theres a shiasunni divide, of course. Theyre killing each other across the middle east. But when it comes to killing christians and. , shia and sunni terror groups get along just fine. Isis iran right now are battling each other for regional supremacy. Iran now controls for arab capitals. Not only in tehran iran and its proxies control sometime in yemen, beirut in lebanon, damascus in syria baghdad and iraq. These are the coming iranian satellites. They are increasing their influence across the region. They are very close to a Nuclear Weapon. We are bending over backward to cut a deal to the point where it is shameful as an american. Ill be honest. To see our government countdown to a terrorist regime. Folks, you know we live in a world turned upside down when Administration Reportedly is talking of sanctioning israel reported, yet wants to lift sanctions on iran. Were in a world today where everything that is good is evil and everything that is evil is good. Iran is driving for a Nuclear Weapon, and apparently the west is going to accept it. Why should every american care about iran acquiring a Nuclear Weapon . Why should everyone watching a dont care about a nucleararmed iran . Again, its over there. Why should we worry, its thousands of miles away. Well, in addition to working on developing Nuclear Weapons, iran is developing intercontinental ballistic missiles, icbms, that could reach the east coast of the United States. Thats not me saying it. Our own pentagon released a report either 2012 or 2013 saying that very soon iran may have these long range intercontinental ballistic missiles. That can reach the east coast of the United States washington, d. C. , new york city, philadelphia. Why would they do that . Why would iran want missiles that can reach the United States . Why would they do that . They are our friend, our ally peace in our time is at hand. The deal is coming. Why would they want missiles that could reach the United States . And why would they refuse as part of these grand Nuclear Negotiations with the iranians why would they refuse to give up that Missile Program . Thats off the table. They wont even talk about a long range Missile Program. Why . Why are we pressing them on it . Its only one reason that you develop icbms to mount them with a nuclear warhead. Only one reason. Iran considers the United States the great satan. The iranian regime. They call israel a little satan. Israel is a bump on the road to the ultimate prize, the United States. Now, if anyone watching thanks that god forbid if iran got its wishes and white issue off the map, if that happened does anyone at home or in this room really think that iran would just pack up its bags and say nation accomplished . No. Where will they go next . Israel is the first line of defense for western civilization. Folks, if israel goes down eventually we all go down. Dont kid yourself. Iranian supreme leader, our partner for peace recently called recently called for death to america as these Nuclear Negotiations are ongoing, the leader of iran is calling for death to america. What are we doing . The president of iran rouhani, sadistically negotiations with the west are a form of rheumatic jihad. By jihadi deepening spiritual yoga, i can assure you. What are we doing . So let iran and isis fight it out, but please, dont call iran an ally. Dont do it. Dont try to recast history current and former come and tell me this regime has changed its spots. Ladies and gentlemen when it comes iran, when it comes to isis which is the subject of our talk, when it comes to this global jihad this is a Winston Churchill moment. Think back to the late 1930s early 1940s. Winston churchill saw the gathering storm of not determining marching across nazi germany marching across your. He called it what it was any knew what to do better. He was bold you was courageous. By the way, Winston Churchill also saw the iron curtain descended over eastern europe. He called it for what it was. Today, the only world leader that i see to seize the gathering storm of radical islam, the global jihad is the israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. [applause] he knows the enemy. The first rule of war is know your enemy. He knows the enemy. I believe he knows what to do about the enemy. Yet, just like a churchill in the 30s and 40s netanyahu is being ridiculed shunned and marginalized by western leaders who dont have the backbone to confront this extension threat, and tell it like it is and do what needs to be done. Existential threat. So what needs to be done . I spent this evening laying out a pretty dire set of circumstances for you. As i said the barbarians are not just inside outside the gates. They are inside the gates. Its not fearmongering. I have footnoted, ive done my homework. Im not just in an airconditioned think tank in d. C. Im getting on the ground. Im talking to people. What do we do . Number one in speaking to military strategists pretty extensively about this isis threat, all of them shared a common theme. We cant defeat isis theres one of them right there. Tell them i said hello. I will acknowledge them in the book. We cant defeat isis. Through airstrikes alone. Cant be done. You need some sort of ground presence. Now, president obama says again and again. And people have no stomach for war. That may be true but let me tell you something about the American People. If you lay out the case to them about that axis extension threat gathering at their doorstep that could kill their kids and their grandkids come all of a sudden your stomach will perk up. The American People have not changed, and if a threat is gathering we want to confront it head on. And ill tell you what. We need to do to isis and this isnt some plastic and its not tried how i say this. What we did to the german war machine and the japanese war machine during world war ii crushed them. Isis has declared a state in the heart of the middle east a caliphate with 3040,000foot soldiers but we know where they are. We know their de facto capital is in syria. Crush them. They are people and if they have the way they would take all of our heads off and they would take our kids and grandkids with them. Thats not hyperbole. When someone tells you they want to kill you, you should believe them and take them at their word. I believe isis when they say they want to kill me. And cause chaos and havoc and bloodshed in my country. Crush the metaphor gets bigger. Because let me tell you, right now not only this isis recruiting from around the world but their establishing satellites throughout the middle east in north africa. Pakistanafghanistan we see isis presents. In algeria, libya, in egypt Sinai Peninsula in nigeria in the form of boko haram, a vicious, savage terrorist organization which has pledged allegiance to isis. This thing is growing, ladies and gentlemen, geographically its a growing, the movement is gaining momentum. Crush it now. Crush it. And when you crush it you will demoralize the global movement. Youll strike a blow against the grand caliphate. You strike a blow against the ideology. The ideology will survive but man, it will have taken a major hit. It will take a major he it. This is a quite heavy u. S. Footprint. Think back to 2001 they give you a special forces, the cia on the ground in afghanistan working with the northern alliance. They ratted the taliban. We can do the same thing folks today in iraq and in syria. We have the kurds who are fierce fighters courageous, and proamerican begging for our systems, begging for leadership from the leader of the free world. Maybe a few weapons. Since isis is using usmade weapons that they seize from the iraqi military. The kurds we have this year in christians, we have some moderate iraqis tribes who are all being enslaved and killed. They want to fight. They want to get rid of isis. They are begging for our assistance. We wont take the lead. Doesnt take at the u. S. Footprint. Again, afghanistan 2001. It wasnt brain surgery. We got the job done. We can do that today. I believe. We need to do it because this thing is going to metastasize and it is as we speak. Its not alarmist. Its reality. No one wants to be in the middle east obviously but when a threat is gathering that seeks to destroy america, it must be dealt with. That used to be our philosophy. It affects all of us. One thing smashed the caliphate. Smash it. Military with the isis is not an 800pound gorilla. A formidable foe yes in of these, but when the u. S. Military puts there might do something, they take care of business. They need the political will to get this thing done. I believe the president obama laid out a compelling case to the American People about why we needed some ground presence in iraq and syria right now and why we needed to snuff out this movement crush it now, i believe the American People would rally behind him. I dont think its going to happen though, folks. I dont think much is going to change before 2016. I hate to be a pessimist. Dont worry, i will end on an optimistic note, but im a realist. What would also be a beautiful thing, which i also dont think is going to happen, would be to see a True Movement of antijihad muslims, truly moderate muslims who dont want sharia, who dont want jihad would be a great thing. We should have a movement globally right now of millions of muslims marching against isis, marching against jihad. We should have a muslim million march on the national mall. Even after nine 9 11, paris, ottawa metric, the rise of isis, we are not seeing it. I dont think were going to see. If we havent by now i dont know we will see it anytime soon. What more will it take . We have seen courageous individuals speak out, without a doubt, courageous individual muslims have spoken out against isis at great risk to their lives and their families lives. In the book i interviewed one in the boston, massachusetts, area. Who came into the room and i joked around and i said you look like clint eastwood. He had a poncho on a disguise, a widebrimmed had. And he said i cant show my face on camera, ill be killed. This is boston, massachusetts the liberal bastion of america. There is a fear factor in many cases. Bottom line is its not happening. If muslims themselves are not going to deal with this problem within, then we need to deal with it. Because its targeting us. At the end of the day for average americans, just closing here then we will take you a day, for average americans, i told you what the government needs to do what it probably wont do on average americans need to get a few things. Number one stay informed. You dont have to be a Foreign Policy expert but you oh to yourself, your kids and your grandkids to take 10 minutes a day to follow along whats going on in the world. After 9 11 nine 9 11 there is no excuse. There really isnt. You where. Number two, get with likeminded people. Get with organizations like this who care about this issue, whether you like a tea party whether you hate the tea party. Look, we can all agree they made a difference. They made their voices heard. It was a bunch of likeminded folks who got together on particular issues. Mostly economic issues. Let me tell you, this issue of radical islam and jihad today is a much more pressing and important issue. A movement that opposes radical islam, that supports israel, get with it. Did with that kind of movement. It with likeminded people. The bad guys use social media. We can use social media to get with likeminded folks. Vote. Thats very simple. And we take it for granted in our country many times. Vote. Summit, you dont ago with someone on this issue, vote them out. Look i work in washington, d. C. And i can tell you when you flood your congressman, your senator, when you flood their offices with phone calls and letters, guess what. They listen. They want to be reelected. They listen to the constituents. To make your voice heard in that way. Im telling you what you can do. At the end of the day pray. At the end of the day i believe that in this case and in every case i think that prayer works. Take it from a guy who spent five months with isis studying isis, researching isis writing about isis. Prayed. I know this was a heavy message tonight, but speaking of praying, im going to reference the bible. Very dangerous thing to do here in the washington, d. C. Area at times, but never stopped me before. The bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge. Okay, we are equipped now. We have the knowledge. Now what are they going to do about it . I challenges ended when watching at home to be watchmen and watch women on the wall for such a time as this. Again, its if not us, who . These are the times. Thank you very much. Thank you again to sarah, image. God bless you, thank you. [applause] obama has given pink slips to over 200 military colonels and generals end up. These decimated the military. Many of them including dempsey have said were not going to defend the United States if we are in more than one where. Some of the retired military have spoken out on fox and other venues. Where are the active joint chiefs of staff, dempsey and so forth . They dont believe in what obama is doing. I know they want to preserve their jobs but why are these really incredibly talented, accomplished professionals not speaking out . None of them speaking out. I cant get inside their heads. I cant speak for them but is it a case of look they want to preserve the jobs in some cases . Perhaps. Also in some cases is it that maybe they ideology does he isis as the massive threat that it is . There could be a number of factors. A delegate get inside their heads. I cant read their minds the wider speaking at the cant do it at some of the statements that have been made have a long to be. In terms of downplayed in our military brass as well in terms of downplaying the threat. The isis is not the major threat that it is the psychic speak for them to be honest with you and i havent interviewed into the military current. We are not getting it done. Is the case of isis as you explained, i do know it was that pervasive, why hasnt there been sound like arthur waiting for some other good moment . What is your theory . Not for lack of effort on one. Weve had some luck think of the underwear bomber. Think of the times square bomber. The bomb didnt go off to weve had some luck but at the end of the leading tell you covering this closely we have had great Law Enforcement and intelligence work. Without a doubt. God bless our agents, our Law Enforcement officers in this field. They have broken up many, many plots on u. S. Soil dozens. So we have had a great Law Enforcement intelligence work, weve had some luck but isis is a different beast. And their pervasiveness now in the u. S. And the porousness, if thats a word, of the southern border. I think is a very makes american and even more inviting target. The new strategy of course isis wants to top 9 11 without a doubt. Isis come alqaeda, all of them would like to pull off the next 9 11 but in the meantime a strategy are these lowtech selfstarter attacks were your and one man or woman jihad. Death by 1000 cuts. Chip away, and to figure out these kind of attacks, you chip away the countrys economy, a countrys psyche. I should mention in my talk ill say it real quick year, alqaeda in 2000 released, not released publicly but they put together a 20 year plan. The plan ended in the year 2020 and it had seven phases. The fifth phase between the years 20122016 called for the establishment of the caliphate. Alqaeda said they want a caliphate between 20122016. Guess what happened in 2014 . I caliphate was declared by isis. Right on course. Now the next phase between 20162020 is what alqaeda called total confrontation. Remember, isis came out of alqaeda. 20162020, total confrontation. So if isis has a network of supporters and sympathizers throughout the west if theyre getting new affiliates throughout north africa and middle east, gaining more geographical grid in the middle east and if we refuse to confront them, they will confront us. Total confrontation. Seems to be the plan is working out pretty well for them. Can you talk about the situation maybe [inaudible] i know gadhafi had ties to the chicago semimuslim gang faction in the 90s. There are americans have been arrested who have been in prison now who wanted to go overseas and joint isis sympathize. So to me they could be a problem if they get into the prison population. We have had a long run over the past few decades of inmates in american prisons converting to islam and becoming radicalized. Thats a documented fact the so absolutely. With isis doing what its doing making such a big splash on the world stage and doing it in such an audacious way absolutely. People in prison not only people in prison the radicals outside a prison. Theyre connecting in a major way and the prison population again, weve got cases where Muslim Brotherhood connected individuals have served as president imams and chaplains. Save the fox guarding the henhouse in many ways. I remain highly, highly concerned about the american prison population and the possibility of further radicalization of there. Thats a great question. Have there been any actual documented i dont know of any concrete cases. But definitely something to watch for. Because there is a history there. For sure. Hey, erick, thank you. You talked about how iran is now dominating capitals and countries around the middle east from damascus to the root, their own country, tehran, not baghdad and now yemen. And we know that in that region the only territory so far conquered or targeted by iis belongs to those iranian puppets. So to what extent would you help iran to hang onto its puppets by going after i. S. . Anything we do to diminish treachery helps iran which wants to dempsey a deliverable Nuclear Weapon is going to solidify control over that i think its two sides of the same coin. Oin. I believe yes, we must do with isis because isis is showing a willingness and a desire to strike us here. I think they have begun with. I believe when a terror group a Terror Movement or state a terror state expresses a desire or willingness and the ability to strike the United States, i believe we have to deal with them. But on the flipside i believe we also need to deal with iran but as i mentioned earlier, iran is ahead of the terrorist snake. Iran is the greater longterm threat, without a doubt, the
