person 1 We’re going to look at another dust up, and let’s pick the
growth and spread of radical Islam—that’s one side that’ll keep you
awake at night, keeps me awake— versus socialist democratic government,
which seems to be in some ways an ascendancy, at least in some places in
America.
Maybe it’s overstated because it’s always on the front page of the
New York Post. But socialist democratic government versus the growth and
spread of radical Islam: Victor, which is the worst of those two?
person 2: I’m far more worried about radicalism for two reasons, negative and positive. Why did [Zohran] Mamdani get elected, and why do we have these socialist candidates in blue states, and why now?
You’ve got to remember that Barack Obama was a socialist, and when he
left office, he lost the House, and he lost the Senate, and he lost
1400 state and local offices that were Democrats. He destroyed the
Democratic Party. essentially. He did. He made it possible for [Donald]
Trump to win.
What happened that resulted in this phenomenon? We’ve to remember
that [former New York Mayor] Bill de Blasio was just a dull form
of Mamdani. I thought he was, you know it better in New York. He was a
socialist. He wasn’t as bold, but he was a socialist. He was just more
incompetent. But we don’t know how incompetent Mondami is. He’s slick.
What I’m getting at is these socialists
are a phenomenon of the last largely four years in Obama years, but
especially the last four years when we borrowed eight trillion dollars,
we had an aggregate inflation rate of 21%, 5.25% a year, and more
importantly the things that count—insurance, electricity bills, natural
gas bills, gasoline at the pump, cars to buy, eggs, staple foods—that
was up about 25 to 30% over four years.
And we did not get over 2.5, 3% [growth]. We didn’t get the growth
that would have increased wages. Real wages went down. And housing
went way up over 30%. So that was a reaction to the Biden
[administration].
So, the corrective is 4%, 4.2% in the third quarter? And that is despite the shutdown?
I won’t be surprised, Jack, that in January when the fourth quarter
[is announced], because the third was belated because of the shutdown,
the fourth quarter could be 4.5% and the first quarter next year could
be 5.5%. And so, if the economy’s growing and inflation is going down,
that socialist argument will have less resonance is what I’m saying.
And you know, Insider Advantage—they make fun of it like Rasmussen
and Trefalgar. They’re all excellent polls— and today it had Trump at
50%, 42. And it had a better record in 2024 than Harvard, Harris,
than all the rest, Gallup, everyone. So, I’m not worried.
But radical Islam, we have a quarter million students from the Middle
East. And it’s open season on Jews. They kill them at museums. They
kill Jews at museums. Harvard and Yale don’t want to do anything about
it.
Where I am at Stanford, I watched them tear down the Jewish hostage
posters. I saw their encampment, radical Islamic pro-Hamas encampment,
for four months on campus. I was on campus when they ransacked the
president’s office, 12 of them did, pro-Palestinian protesters.
Going back to Major [Nidal] Hassan, “Allah al-Akbar,” killed 13 soldiers. The
San Bernardino slaughter. What we saw in Bondi Beach, slaughter. I
don’t know what the Brown [University] shooter’s motivation, the
Portuguese guy, we’ll find out—probably not—but there were initial
reports not substantiated that he might have yelled something like
“Allah akbar,” but we don’t know [whether] he was just an outlier.
But that’s going to increase because The West in Europe where they’re
getting up to about 15 to 16% illegal alien, non-native born
immigrants; illegal, poor, angry and not assimilating in Germany, in
France, in Britain, not 16 in Britain but getting on that trajectory in
Spain, in Italy. [Italian Prime Minister Georgia] Meloni just deported
some imam.
And they’re emboldened, and they do things like behead the head of a
priest, or they make the French cower and cancel their Champs-Elysees
Christmas parade. They do it in Germany.
Here in the United States, you can’t say antisemitism without
“Islamophobia.” [Minnesota Gov. Tim] Walz says that they’re picking on
Somalia. So, here you have the Somali community. It has a large number
of people here illegally. Their representative, Ilhan Omar, most
certainly, almost certainly married her brother and committed
immigration fraud.
She’s a multimillionaire. How she did that, I don’t know. And they
have embezzled somewhere between two and nine billion dollars right
under the nose of Tim Walz
and [Minnesota Attorney General Keith] Ellison. And anybody who
explains this in a rational fashion is an Islamophobe, racist, et
cetera.
Radical Islam thinks that we are decadent, leisured, and they want to
come over here, and they want to create enclaves that are not
assimilating or integrating, and they feel that
demographically they’re going to enlarge. And their first
targets are Jewish Americans which are about 6% of the population. They
think they’re already at three or four and they’re going to …
Put it this way. And I’ll shut up.
Ten years ago, [imagine] if Tucker Carlson wanted to give a talk at
Charlie Kirk’s then nascent organization and he said, “Why are we
picking on Muslims? Why are we picking on Muslims? I don’t understand
that.” Well, Tucker, we’re not picking on Muslims. I mean, why would you
say that right after Australia? Or why would you say that after
what we’ve seen on campuses? Why?
But he wouldn’t have said that 10 years ago.
He said it now because the Gulf money is much more emboldened in
funding things in the United States. Al Jazeera is even more
powerful. There’s a quarter million students. Many of them stay on.
It used to be unthinkable that somebody would openly root or wear a
green Hamas headband or flag. You see it on campus all the time. So,
it’s changing, and that’s dangerous. It really is.
I think the worst is what we’re seeing in Britain, where you have
grooming and mass rape of young native-born English women, teenagers by
Pakistani immigrants for the most part. And no one indicted, prosecuted,
convicted and jailed them. And they’re a protected group. And they will
censor your speech if you disagree. That’s where we are.
person 1: Do you see the videos of the mayor of
London where he meets with the council and some of the members of the
Conservative Party, and they say essentially what the h—‘s happening
here with these grooming gangs?
And he will sit there and go, I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Could you please define what you’re talking about? He plays this dumb
game, but he’s not dumb when he’s doing it. He’s being very calculated
and very condescending. And to think that that great city is in the
hands of this … I’m not going to say the bad word.
person 2: Let’s be more blunt. The two greatest
cities in Western civilization and Christendom, historically in
population, are New York and London. And they’re both going to be run by
overt Islamicists, I think. And Mamdani, one of his first appointments,
had to bow out because she had a history of wretched antisemitism in
her social media account.
He’s just hired a California exile who oversaw multi-billion-dollar fraud in California and the State Department of Labor.
So yeah, that scares me a lot more.
