Right now, the West is in its ascendancy, not in its decline.
Over the weekend, President Trump championed a peace deal that is now cut between Congo and Rwanda, brokered by the White House to stop the bloodshed in Congo, where a militia allegedly backed by Rwanda occupies huge areas of land.
President Trump explained that he is brokering peace throughout the world, saying, “This is a tremendous breakthrough. In a few short months, we&#8217;ve now achieved peace between India and Pakistan, Israel and Iran, and the DRC and Rwanda. And a couple of others also, Serbia was getting ready to go to war with a group I won&#8217;t even mention because it didn&#8217;t happen. We were able to stop it.”
He&#8217;s right about that. He also continues to maintain his strength in the face of an Iran that has pledged further nuclear development. He said to Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei, listen, you keep lying and saying that you won? You didn&#8217;t. You got your ass kicked.
“I&#8217;m putting out a little statement,” <a href="https://x.com/breeadail/status/1938650917127233987">he stated</a>. “I&#8217;m going to respond to the Ayatollah’s statement yesterday that ‘We won the war.’ Won the war? And I said, ‘Look, you&#8217;re a man of great faith, a man who&#8217;s highly respected in his country. You have to tell the truth, you got beat to hell … It would be great if they (Iran) didn&#8217;t have that hate. But the last thing they&#8217;re thinking about is nuclear weapons right now.”
“Would you consider bombing the country again?” <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgenq599kwo">he was asked</a>. “Sure. Without question. Absolutely. That would be unbelievable,” he answered. “But, you know, our incredible fliers; I call them the shots. These guys are unbelievable. Think. From 52,000 feet, they hit the equivalent of a refrigerator door. They actually hit it right in the center, so it&#8217;s much smaller than that.”
But at a time when the West should be resurgent and on the upswing, instead you have America&#8217;s major cities: New York City, L.A., and Chicago, being run by full-scale left-wing nutcases who are deeply ensconced with hatred for their own civilization. The same thing has happened in London in the UK. It&#8217;s been happening in France as well.
It&#8217;s a serious threat to the West. And the biggest threat to the West is not external at this point.
The biggest threat to the West is internal: the Red-Green Alliance, the communists/socialists, and the Hamasniks coming together in hatred of their own civilization.

All of this ties into July 4. It&#8217;s going to be great. I hope you&#8217;re going to have a wonderful Independence Day, celebrating the foundation of the greatest country in the history of the world, but we should talk about a myth that has been purveyed about July 4 and about the United States in general.
This, of course, is the 1619 myth that “America was founded on slavery and that the Revolutionary War was fought for the preservation of slavery.”
There are many lies that are told about our civilization, particularly about the foundation of our civilization, in order to somehow claim that our civilization should be torn down.
If you were to poll the morons of Glastonbury in the UK who chanted “Death to the IDF” and mocked white Britons by chanting “I hear you want your country back. Well, shut the f*** up,” or the Democratic primary voters for Zohran Mamdani in New York about what they think of the United States, they would surely agree with the myth that America was founded on slavery.
It&#8217;s not true.
A huge number of the Founders overtly opposed slavery in principle. Even those who held slaves themselves did not provide significant defenses of slavery. That included George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Washington said, “There&#8217;s not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do to see a plan adopted for its abolition.” Thomas Jefferson&#8217;s original draft of the Declaration of Independence called the slave trade an “execrable commerce” and “an affront against human nature itself.” John Jay said, “It is much to be wished that slavery may be abolished, to contend for our own liberty, and to deny that blessing to others involves an inconsistency not to be excused.” Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, John Adams, and Alexander Hamilton spoke against slavery as well.
Why was slavery included in the Constitution of the United States originally? Because there were still slave-holding states in the United States. Many of the northern states were not slave holding states, but the southern states were. And the question was, could you get together a coalition to defeat the British, or could you not?
This was not a fight on behalf of promoting slavery. Slavery remained legal in the British Empire until 1833. So this was not a fight in which one side was pro-slavery and one side was anti-slavery. Far from it. The leaders in America ideologically were not in favor of slavery. There was a practical on-the-ground consideration, which was that many of the southern states were reliant on slave labor. 
Again, that&#8217;s an evil not to be excused, but to claim that the Revolutionary War was about slavery is to be ignorant of history. In fact, as soon as the Revolution began, there were eight states that immediately came out and started abolishing slavery: Vermont, 1777. Pennsylvania, 1780. Massachusetts and New Hampshire, 1783. Rhode Island and Connecticut, 1784. New York, 1799. New Jersey 1804.
<h3><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/">JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free</a></h3>
As the Claremont Institute&#8217;s Arthur Milikh once <a href="https://www.heritage.org/american-history/commentary/1776-not-1619">pointed out</a>:
<blockquote>The Founders laid the constitutional ground for abolishing slavery. One example is <a href="https://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/articles/1/essays/60/slave-trade">Article I, Section 9, Clause 1</a>, which states that Congress could prohibit importation of slaves starting in 1808. On the first day that this clause became operative, Congress passed, and President Thomas Jefferson signed, this prohibition into law. Congress took additional steps to restrict slavery. It passed the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which outlawed slavery in the Northwest Territories. Seven years later, Congress made it illegal to build ships for the purpose of the slave trade.</blockquote>
It&#8217;s important to debunk some of these myths, because those myths become the basis for claiming that the West is uniquely evil. Slavery has indeed been an evil institution, but it has also been virtually universal. 
The question isn&#8217;t whether the Founding Fathers were hypocrites about slavery. Some were; some weren&#8217;t. The question truly is: Why did it take the West to end slavery?
In fact, slavery is still practiced in many of the areas that are favorites of the Glastonbury crowd. Many of the places that they are claiming are “havens of freedom,” that require “less of a heavy Western hand,” are places that are still practicing slavery.
A huge part of the Middle East still engages in slavery. Not Israel, but many of its opponents. That is the point.
July 4 spells a clarion call for human freedom, and it has been seen that way by right-minded people ever since.
This is why the very famous Frederick Douglass speech about what July 4 meant to the slave doesn&#8217;t say that July 4 is bad. It says that the problem with the 4th of July is that the principles that the Founding Fathers sought to instill had not yet been realized.
That is the right approach, a historically accurate and mature approach, instead of the leftist scumbag wing that simply suggests the West is uniquely evil when in reality the West is uniquely good.

This September, Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro will release “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lions-Scavengers-Story-America-Critics/dp/1668097885/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Pg18nHlVX2neyh7VlgVdIKje9EBKlWHDPzfz2hz6y3Q3oyWp8Jv4YdfQyesgs3y-.a1CzqX5hmYc9zIJ3x9S3IyReflqRxvFeP5akr1dlPB8&amp;qid=1749148351&amp;sr=1-1">Lions and Scavengers: The True Story of America (and Her Critics)</a>,” his first book in four years. Shapiro calls it, “My most important book, certainly my most passionate.”
In the wake of the horrific attacks on innocent Israelis on October 7, 2023, Shapiro was left shocked, not only by the barbaric acts of the terrorist group Hamas, but by the strange, disturbing response he witnessed from those in the West.
“Something deeply wrong had happened in the West,” says Shapiro. 
The host of “The Ben Shapiro Show” then spent the next year traveling the globe, visiting Auschwitz alongside Elon Musk, flying to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to meet with newly elected president Javier Milei, and speaking at Oxford University in England. It was what he saw on the streets of London that affected him most.
“Just last weekend, London saw a massive river of protesters,” writes Shapiro. “Hundreds of thousands strong, marching with their banners unfurled: the banners of terrorist groups and of communists and of transgender activists, gathered together to revolt against the civilization that has given them their rights and their prosperity and their power.”
“Lions and Scavengers” will release on September 2, 2025, and is published by Threshold Editions, the conservative publishing imprint of Simon &amp; Schuster, an imprint originally launched by Mary Matalin, the conservative wife of Democratic talking head James Carville.
The Harvard Law graduate&#8217;s new book is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lions-Scavengers-Story-America-Critics/dp/1668097885/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Pg18nHlVX2neyh7VlgVdIKje9EBKlWHDPzfz2hz6y3Q3oyWp8Jv4YdfQyesgs3y-.a1CzqX5hmYc9zIJ3x9S3IyReflqRxvFeP5akr1dlPB8&amp;qid=1749148351&amp;sr=1-1">now available for pre-order</a>.

As leftist leaders continue to obfuscate the threats to Western civilization, Shapiro’s book could not have arrived at a better time.
Some say the West is experiencing 1930s Germany all over again, and Shapiro confirms that a new form of “Scavenger” is on the prowl. “The Scavengers have gathered, here in the beating heart of what was once the center of Western civilization, to bay for more blood, and to scream at a West that insists that defense against terror is the first right of all men.”
Shapiro also insists this is larger than the persecution of the Jews. “This is not mere anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism is an age-old hatred rooted in a conspiracy theory; it takes many forms and has countless victims. This is something different. It is a united, coalitional hatred of the West.”
As a proven author with multiple #1 New York Times bestselling titles to his credit and as the host of one of the most widely listened-to podcasts, Shapiro has earned the authority to speak on this topic in this critical hour of world history.
While Shapiro’s “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lions-Scavengers-Story-America-Critics/dp/1668097885/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Pg18nHlVX2neyh7VlgVdIKje9EBKlWHDPzfz2hz6y3Q3oyWp8Jv4YdfQyesgs3y-.a1CzqX5hmYc9zIJ3x9S3IyReflqRxvFeP5akr1dlPB8&amp;qid=1749148351&amp;sr=1-1">Lions and Scavengers</a>” will illuminate the gathering storm facing the leaders of the West, his message, however, is not only for adults. &#8220;We need to be a civilization of Lions. We need to teach our children to be Lions, and to fight the Scavengers.&#8221;
Be prepared for the days ahead — reserve your copy of “Lions and Scavengers” now.

Radical Islam

As a Coptic Christian born in Egypt and as a person who spent years in academia — including earning a Ph.D. from Emory University in Atlanta studying radical Islamic movements — I speak with authority when I warn against the menace of Islamism, which is overwhelmingly invading the West.
For decades, I’ve warned that this ideology is not just incompatible with Western civilization; it rejects coexistence entirely, seeking takeover. Now, Islamists have formed an unholy alliance with Marxists — two groups who would normally be at each other’s throats, yet now are uniting throughout Europe and North America for the purpose of wreaking havoc on the West. Their ultimate purpose is to build a seventh-century Arabian desert Utopia out of the wreckage of Western civilization.
Crimes against Jewish Americans continue to make headlines, from the killing of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senator-demands-feds-investigate-israel-embassy-shooting-as-domestic-terrorism?author=Nathan+Gay&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Senator+Demands+Feds+Investigate+Israel+Embassy+Shooting+As+Domestic+Terrorism">young couple</a> in Washington D.C. to the blatant antisemitic attack by an illegal <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/colorado-hits-egyptian-anti-israel-terror-suspect-with-charges-including-murder?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=51&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Colorado+Hits+Egyptian+Anti-Israel+Terror+Suspect+With+Charges+Including+Murder">Egyptian migrant</a> in Boulder, Colorado. The Jews, however, are the canaries in the coal mine. The larger target, where the sights of radical Islamists are locked, is Western civilization.
These incidents are not isolated; they’re harbingers of chaos fueled by open borders and judicial obstruction. Christians and moral people everywhere must wake up, discern the truth, and reclaim our culture before it’s lost. We must share Christ’s gospel boldly. Make no mistake about it: Even if Westerners themselves aren’t aware of it, Western civilization is the byproduct of the Christian reformation of the 14th century.
Radical Islam’s goal is clear: not compatibility, but a global caliphate. In &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1496431502/?bestFormat=true&amp;k=the%20third%20jihad%20by%20michael%20youssef&amp;ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-pd-bk-d_de_k0_1_16&amp;crid=385NJPDUXR79B&amp;sprefix=the%20third%20jihad%20">The Third Jihad,&#8221;</a> I explain how a holy war is underway, not only with terror but by stealth, with some even aiming to impose an Islamic State of North America by 2050. This “third jihad,” unlike the sword-driven first jihad (622–751) or second jihad (1302–1922), uses our freedoms — migration, legal systems, cultural sway — to infiltrate and dominate. The Quran’s call to “hijrah” (jihad by migration) urges Muslims to spread Islam, viewing relocation as sacred. In Europe, chants of “Allah give victory to Islam everywhere” accompany unassimilated enclaves. France’s nine million Muslims, with birthrates outpacing natives ten to one, are building mosques and shifting culture, often rejecting Western values. Britain’s Sharia councils erode sovereignty, operating as parallel legal systems. This isn’t integration; it’s conquest.
Violence isn’t the only threat. We now face cultural erosion. Radical Islamists exploit our systems. In &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Enemy-Aggressive-Secularism-Radical/dp/1496431456/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0">The Hidden Enemy</a>,&#8221; I noted, “The enemy without [radical Islam] seeks a caliphate; the enemy within [secular leftists] erases Judeo-Christian values.” Their alliance is stark: leftists, rejecting biblical truth, defend Sharia advocates like Linda Sarsour, who co-led the 2017 Women’s March alongside abortion and LGBTQ champions. Political correctness brands critics “Islamophobic,” shielding this pact. Secularism’s spiritual vacuum — evident since Jesse Jackson’s 1987 chant, “Western Civ has got to go!” — invites Islamists to fill the void, using welfare, courts, and media to advance their agenda. As Christianity fades, with Europe’s churches now museums, radical Islam sees our culture as “overripe fruit,” ripe for conquest. 
Recent events underscore the stakes. January 2025’s ISIS-inspired <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-agent-in-charge-who-said-new-orleans-attack-was-not-a-terrorist-event-reportedly-reassigned?author=Hank+Berrien&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=FBI+Agent+In+Charge+Who+Said+New+Orleans+Attack+Was+%E2%80%98Not+A+Terrorist+Event%E2%80%99+Reportedly+Reassigned">New Orleans attack</a>, killing 14, exposed our vulnerability. In Cyprus, recent protests <a href="https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/05/03/turkish-cypriots-protest-over-what-they-say-is-turkeys-introduction-of-islam-into-educatio">accused Turkey</a> of imposing political Islam, eroding secular roots — a warning for the West. X posts amplify these concerns, decrying Sharia’s quiet spread. Pacifying radicals, as we did before the Taliban’s 2021 victory, breeds extremism. Historically, Christians stopped Islamic conquests at Tours (732) and Vienna (1683). Today’s fight is spiritual and cultural, yet many Christians stay silent, cowed by “tolerance.” As I have stated before, this deception is “from the pit of hell.” Excusing non-assimilation or Sharia zones surrenders our heritage. 
The open <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-crisis">border crisis</a> amplifies this. Over four years, lax policies and judicial blocks have imported chaos. The Boulder attacker, an illegal migrant, embodies the risk: unchecked entry brings ideologies that fuel <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/colorado-hits-egyptian-anti-israel-terror-suspect-with-charges-including-murder?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=19&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Colorado+Hits+Egyptian+Anti-Israel+Terror+Suspect+With+Charges+Including+Murder">antisemitism and violence</a>. If we don’t enforce borders, we’ll see more D.C. and Boulder tragedies. Radical Islam isn’t here to blend in — it’s here to dominate, as my decades studying its trappings confirm. 
So, what must Christians do? First, go to God’s Word, not headlines. Second, evangelize boldly. Understand the darkness of radical Islam, but love Muslim people. The gospel is our power, so we must find the courage to share Christ with Muslim neighbors. Third, fortify churches. Pastors must preach unapologetically, equipping believers to counter secularism and Islamism. Congregations should disciple families, mentor youth, and pray for God to move. 
The stakes are eternal. In Matthew’s gospel, Jesus warned of wolves in sheep’s clothing. Radical Islam cloaks its takeover in tolerance, but its aim is a caliphate, not coexistence. Antisemitism will surge as unvetted migration grows. Yet hope endures. The early church faced Rome and won souls through love. We can, too. Christians, rise up. Share the gospel, love Muslims, defend our faith, and demand secure borders. Radical Islam banks on our silence — let’s prove them wrong.

It is amazing to be here in Budapest. I want to talk today about the battle for the heart of Western civilization. But to do that, we have to start with a definition of what Western civilization actually is.
Western civilization, rooted in Man&#8217;s individual liberty and his collective duty; in his freedom of speech and in his duty to act virtuously; in his property rights and in his familial obligations; in the right to the equal application of the law; is unique. It is the wellspring of virtually all human prosperity and all human progress.
Western civilization did not come from nowhere. It came from Biblical wisdom; the wisdom of thousands of years of Judeo-Christian tradition. It came from the Bible&#8217;s admonition that we ought to seek truth through the light of reason. When we cut ourselves off from the sources of our own civilization, our civilization decays.
And make no mistake, our civilization is now in the midst of decay.
We can see that decay in the anarchic marchers in the streets, chanting on behalf of radical Islamic terror groups by the hundreds of thousands. 
We can see it in the push by intellectual elitists for a bizarre alternative morality that suggests the fundamental, free-flowing nature of sexual identity, where boys can be girls and behavior ought to be separated utterly from the realm of morality. 
We can see it in the push for an ever growing domination of a powerful governmental infrastructure, crowding out familial bonds, crowding out church. in favor of a faceless state that offers money rather than virtue.
We can see it in that crusade against churches that refuse to jettison their values in favor of moral relativism and flying rainbow flags.
What are these forces that have mobilized against our civilization?
The key force is the force of Western post-modern leftism. Sure, we can look at the radical Islamists who have invaded Europe, who support terrorism, who use Western governments to impose effective fatwas against Westerners who speak out against them, people who target Jews and Christians, who openly chant for the downfall of the civilization that they leech upon.
But the question really isn&#8217;t radical Islamists. They, after all, are doing just what they have always done: invading and conquering.
The question is why the West allowed them in.
And the answer is that the West, thanks to that post-modern Left, bears a peculiar and self-defeating blood-guilt. A guilt that says that because the West is too successful, it owes it to the rest of the world to destroy itself.

Perhaps the most colorful champion of this philosophy was the Marxist existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre. In 1961, a Francophone rebel named Frantz Fanon wrote a shockingly violent book titled “The Wretched of the Earth,” in which he posited that colonized peoples had a moral duty to kill their colonizers; that they ought to unleash, in his words, “red hot cannonballs” and “bloody knives.”
Frantz Fanon expressed that the colonized man was right to want to rape the wife of his colonizer, to murder him, to take what he had, and Sartre, a Western leftist, agreed. The West, Sartre said, was an inherent colonizer. Its very success in the world, whether through war or through markets, was a sign of its uniquely rapacious and exploitative nature.
Thus, Sartre argued, Europeans had to die at the hands of their victims. He said, “To shoot down a European is to kill two birds with one stone, to destroy an oppressor, and the man he oppresses at the same time. Then there remains a dead man and a free man.”
In other words, Sartre advocated civilizational suicide, and the West largely complied.
But why did the West comply? Now, part of the answer lies in the West’s pathological and religiously based adherence to the reality of sin and the necessity of repentance. Our culture, Western culture, is a guilt culture, a culture that focuses on the reality of absolute morality and says that when we fail, we are guilty. This means that we feel bad when we sin.
That&#8217;s actually one of our virtues.

But there are many other cultures, shame cultures like, say, the Islamic cultures or the pre-World War II culture of Imperial Japan, or the modern Left, that focuses not on any absolute standard of morality or conscience, but on the evil of being humiliated.
For these folks, admitting fault is the weakness. Because we in the West reflexively look to our own sins before those of others, we fall prey to civilizational suicidal impulses.
Our enemies don&#8217;t. They&#8217;re happy to blame us for their problems and unfortunately, we&#8217;re all too happy to blame ourselves. As the French philosopher Pascal Bruckner writes, “The duty to repent forbids the Western Bloc, which is eternally guilty, to judge or combat other systems, other states, other religions. Our past crimes command us to keep our mouths closed. Our only right is to remain silent.”
But why should we feel uniquely guilty? The West seems to bear a unique amount of guilt because we have come to believe a giant lie, a great giant lie about ourselves.
And that lie is that we, the West, are uniquely evil.
We hear this lie all the time. Just a couple of days ago, for example, King Charles visited Canada, a country with a parliament, only because it was once a dominion of the British Crown, and then he read a land acknowledgment to the Algonquin Indians as though the British Empire ought to repent its establishment of the country of Canada.
The very concept is ridiculous. Watching King Charles sit there in all of his royal regalia, lamenting his own empire, is insane. And yet this kind of nonsense is imitated at nearly every college event across the West.
But that&#8217;s the lie: that the West is uniquely evil, and that lie gained an enormous amount of credibility due to the horrors of the 20th century.
We were told often by Marxists like Sartre, that imperialism was a uniquely Western phenomenon, despite the fact that human beings have conquered other people for as long as human beings have existed.
We were told that the Nazis and their allies were natural outgrowths of Western civilization, rather than perversions of it.
We were told that if we abandoned Biblical values in favor of a namby-pamby secularism, we could avoid all the terrible atrocities of the past, even though it was the pagan dogmas of the Nazis and the Soviets, their secular dogmas, not their Biblical adherence that led to their assault on humanity.
We were told that if we mitigated our cultural honor, if we discarded it, we could then expunge our sins, even though it was craven cowardice in the face of transnational Left-wing movements like Nazism and Communism that led to their domination of the European continent and proud, resurgent patriotism that stopped it.
We were told that if we abandoned our borders, we could alleviate our guilt, even though obviously the Nazis and the Soviets had no respect for borders and sought to obliterate them themselves. It was not Western civilization or Biblical values, rule of law, free speech, and private property rights that led to the tragedies and horrors of the 20th century.
It was the rejection of the West&#8217;s core values that led to those horrors.
But too many in the West believed the lie that the horrors were the result of Western civilization rather than a perversion of it. And in believing that lie, we surrendered our own civilization to people who would destroy it. We turned over our nations to consortiums of international elitists who sought to rule us from above and from without. We opened our nations to groups that sought to destroy our history and our unity.
Now it is time to reverse that process. We have to, in all humility, recognize that Western civilization, like all civilizations, has, of course, committed sordid wrongs and egregious evils.
But the truth — the real truth, something we have known for a very long time, since the Garden of Eden — is that all human beings have a capacity for evil. Human evil is a universal truth.
But the glories of Western civilization are not universal. They come from a particular philosophy, a particular history, a particular culture.
Western civilization isn&#8217;t uniquely evil. Western civilization is uniquely good.
Slavery was a human universal. It was Western civilization that ended it.
Poverty is a human universal. It was Western civilization that has exponentially mitigated it.
War is a human universal Western civilization has wildly reduced it.
And the secular, post-modern leftists who refuse to admit this are engaging in evil of their own.
This country, the very country these secular, post-modern leftists seem to despise, a country they label Nazi-esque, is the only country in Europe, perhaps, that is not currently overrun by Islamic radicals.
This supposedly Nazi country is the only country in Europe where I, an Orthodox Jew, can walk in safety and comfort down the street wearing a yarmulke.
It is a country where children don&#8217;t actually have to fear that their innocence will be robbed by a perverse, anti-Biblical Left seeking the spiritual destruction of those children.
Hungary, like the rest of the West, isn&#8217;t perfect because no country is.
But Hungarians are trying to stand up for their civilization, our shared Western heritage and civilization. And that is a thing that is worth fighting for.
And if we fight for it, we will emerge victorious against the forces that seek to destroy our civilization from outside and inside as well.

Hungary And The Fight For Western Civilization: Shapiro’s Budapest Speech

Hungary

Marxism

There is a philosophy that has now become dominant on the Left and even parts of the center. It&#8217;s throughout the West.
The deeper roots of this philosophy bear a deadly fruit.
Let’s begin with a bizarre and hilarious spectacle. Great Britain’s King Charles III was visiting the Canadian Parliament and decided that it would be worthwhile to offer a land acknowledgment.
This is hilarious because King Charles is the King of Great Britain. The only reason the Canadian Parliament exists is because of the settlement of Canada by British citizens. That’s why he is there in the first place.
Charles doing a land acknowledgment and taking that seriously would amount to essentially disestablishing Canada, the United States, Australia, South Africa and a bunch of other countries, because all of those countries were originally created as functioning polities by the British Empire.

This bizarre idea that Charles can arrive on Canadian territory and start apologizing to the indigenous people for the presence of white people in this particular area is absurd, especially coming from King Charles, who is the greatest beneficiary on planet Earth of the imperialism of the British Empire.
There are human universals, such as migration, settlement, annexation, and conflict, and they are not unique to white people, Westerners, or Europeans; it&#8217;s just that white people, Westerners and Europeans, have been much better at it than other parts of the population on planet Earth. They&#8217;re more successful, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries, but that does not mean that there is some unique sin that attends to whiteness, being Western, or being European.
Charles said, “I would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe people. This land acknowledgement is a recognition of shared history as a nation. While continuing to deepen my own understanding, it is my great hope that in each of your communities, and collectively as a country, a path is found toward truth and reconciliation, in both word and deed.”
Of course the land is unceded, because the nature of human conflict is that when people migrate from one part of the Earth to another part of the Earth, conflict tends to arise, and then someone wins and someone loses. And it is a very good thing that the British Empire won in Canada.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/bss-ep-2208-the-trump-2026-victory-plan?elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+Show+Episodes+Carousel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
Here’s the basic idea: The world is better off because of the British Empire. The world is better off because of American power and the spread of European ideals. That is obviously true. The spread of things like property rights, due process of law, capitalism, freedom of religion, all of which are not human universals — those are the legacy of the West.
There&#8217;s always an attempt to take human universals and then project them as West-specific problems. That is not true.
The problems of murder and raping and looting and slavery are human universals.
What is unique about the West is all the other stuff. Reversing that polarity and suggesting that the West is somehow uniquely sinful because it was better at war than others, or because Westerners were better at settlement than the Algonquin who lived on the land where Canada&#8217;s parliament now sits, and that is a human tragedy, is not, in fact, a human tragedy.
Bad things happen throughout human history. The bad things are tragedies. But overall, in the broad scope of history, it is an absolutely wonderful thing that Europeans ended up on the North American continent.
Anyone who doesn&#8217;t believe so should probably leave. If you don&#8217;t believe that, you probably should go back to your dingy apartment and cede it back to the natives from whom your ancestors took it.
All of this ties into a deeper and more deadly philosophy.
The president of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, visited the White House and was asked about the “Kill the Boer” chant, which has become common at some rallies, targeting the Afrikaner farmers who originally settled in the area of South Africa as early as the 17th century, fought for hundreds of years, and were responsible at one point for tremendous racism against black people.
But the solution to that is not genocidal chants. Yet there’s an idea that as long as the people who are shouting the genocidal chants are not white, European and Western, it suddenly becomes okay.
Why? Because the rules don&#8217;t equally apply in this left-wing philosophy, where the sins of the West are unique and the West is unique in its evil.
What that means is that the West has to be destroyed. This has deadly consequences. And it doesn&#8217;t matter whether you call this stuff anti-white or anti-Semitic or anti-whatever. The problem with this generalized philosophy is that it is simply evil.
When you separate the world into victims and victimizers and you suggest that anyone who&#8217;s been uniquely successful is the victimizer and anyone who is not is a victim, what you get is victimizers with the moral impetus and the moral weight to kill people.
What you end up with is actual terrorism, actual violence, actual overthrow of the institutions that made the West great in the first place.

New details are emerging about the suspect in the shooting that took place at Abundant Life Christian School.
The Washington Post has <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/12/17/madison-wisconsin-school-shooter-natalie-rupnow/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on the “troubled home life” of the shooter:
<blockquote>The 15-year-old girl who killed two people and wounded six others at her small Christian school here Monday had a turbulent home life, according to court records, which show that her parents divorced and remarried multiple times and that she had been enrolled in therapy. …
“There are always signs of a school shooting before it occurre[s],” Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said at a Tuesday news conference, where he asked the public for patience as authorities investigated [the suspect’s] social media activity and state of mind leading up to the rampage. 
The teen is one of just nine female school shooters in the last 25 years, according to a database maintained by The Post. She is also among the younger recent shooters. … [The suspect’s] father is a Christian who often shared pictures of his dogs and his daughter, according to a review of his Facebook profile. …
But one post, from August, has attracted more scrutiny than others. In it, a photo appears to show [the suspect] wielding a gun and taking aim at a firing range. </blockquote>
Obviously, this means the Left is going to name and focus on gun control as the chief issue.
But, it seems to me, there is a bigger issue here: family turmoil.
I know these are the issues we are not supposed to discuss in American life. We are supposed to believe in a libertarian social ethos that says: When parents have a child and they break up for their own well-being and for the preservation of their own happiness, that has no impact on children whatsoever.
This has been a lie since it started in the 1950s and 1960s in the United States. The divorce rate in those days was significantly lower than the current divorce rate. Today, the divorce rate in the United States shows roughly half of all marriages end in divorce.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2107-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
Many people will divorce and remarry multiple times. According to The Washington Post&#8217;s review of court records, the suspect&#8217;s parents first married in 2011, about two years after she was born. All social science demonstrates that living together before marriage is often a bad idea because it is an indication that people are not willing to make the commitment to marry before having a child.
Marriage should be the predicate for sleeping together and then having children. I acknowledge these are old-fashioned ideas, but they existed for a reason, just as social institutions did. It was deemed a smart idea to get married before living together because it channeled sexual passions into family building.
A man had to give up his waywardness and make a commitment to a woman before getting one of the things he wanted out of the relationship with the woman. And it meant a woman would have to be pretty discerning about just with whom she chose to have sex, as doing so could result in pregnancy.
The opposite perspective has been quite bad for the West in general. We have declining birth rates, unhappy families, broken families. None of this has been a boon to the West as a general matter, despite all of the West&#8217;s promises that a libertarian sexual ethos would make everyone happier.
Zero evidence exists that a libertarian sexual ethos makes everyone happier. General happiness surveys across the West show a radical decline since the 1970s, particularly among women who are supposed to be the people most liberated by the new sexual ethos.
In this particular case, the mother of the suspect had been previously married and divorced; then, she had another daughter with a different man, to whom she was never married. Court records indicate this girl had other permanent legal guardians. The half sister is now 20-years-old. The suspect&#8217;s parents divorced for the first time in 2014, agreeing to joint legal custody of their shared daughter, but specifying she would live primarily with her mom.
From the Post:
<blockquote>The couple remarried in 2017 and divorced for a second time in 2020, again agreeing to share custody but, the court records show, dividing [the suspect’s] time more evenly between them. During this period, [the suspect] would spend two days with her father, two with her mother, then three more with her father, before reversing the schedule the following week.
Shortly after [the suspect’s] parents split up for the second time, the couple remarried once more. But by April 2021 they were petitioning for a third divorce. A judge granted it a month later but noted that “parties [were] admonished concerning remarriage,” according to court records.
After seeking mediation to determine custody of [the suspect], they agreed in July 2022 that they would share legal custody but that the girl would now live mostly with her father. By this time, [the suspect] had been enrolled in therapy, which was supposed to help guide decisions about which parent she would spend weekends with, the records show. 
The 2022 custody papers said [the suspect’s] parents were on cordial terms. “The parents report a generally positive co-parenting relationship,” the document reads, “and will continue to communicate with one another by text messages and phone conversations.” </blockquote>
Let&#8217;s get real: It doesn&#8217;t matter if mommy and daddy get along when they&#8217;re not living together. What matters is the impact on the child.
This is what happens when the actual value of marriage is substituted for a transitory perception of passion and romance. Marriage is not built predominantly on feelings. It is predominantly built on duty. 
I know this is a strange idea to many people who are living in the post-modern West. But the reality of the world is that marriage was built on commitment.
Marriage itself is an institution that requires fealty to the institution, not merely to the other person who is part of the institution. This bizarre notion that marriage was supposed to be about a sort-of formalization of romantic love as opposed to a shared value system that was capable of building the next generation is a wrong idea.
And it has been a mistake for the West to embrace that.
Romance is an enormous part of marriage. But it is not the chiefly important part of marriage when children become secondary as opposed to the primary purpose. Not only is marriage defeated, but the children are also defeated.
The idea of romance being the primary focus of marriage took hold during the Romantic Period in the 19th century. But it turned out that human biology thwarted the plans of romantic love to overcome the institution of marriage. The institution, like all institutions built by civilization, was built by human beings in order to channel human passions. Then, they were made sacred by human beings in order to civilize their passions.
We build entire civilizations in order to channel those passions in positive directions. One of the most fervent passions people have is the passion for sexual relationships. It&#8217;s very powerful.
It can also be incredibly destructive. This is why marriage is such an important institution. The institution of marriage channels that passion toward the production and rearing of children, as opposed to simply leaving little boys and girls all over the landscape without proper mothers and fathers in functioning households.
Treating women poorly is what happens in a free-love system, which is how women currently feel. They feel men treat them like trash.
And many of the men are looking at the system saying it’s a consensual system. What&#8217;s the problem?
The answer is that the consent women are typically looking for is not merely sexual consent. It is consent to a long-term relationship that is meaningful, spiritual, and purposeful.
When a society lacks these things, the result is tremendous human suffering, true human suffering.

This belief in a concept of “free divorce, easy living, get back together, break up, get back together, break up, find new partners, and the kids will just be fine, because, you know, kids can take it,” is a blight.
The kids can take it? No, you can take it. You&#8217;re the adult.
Is what happened in the school shooting the parents’ fault? Given the fact they were living the way they lived, it’s a reasonable question.
If you treat your children like a bizarre form of chattel, shuttling them between parent and parent because you want to live your best life, guess what? Things go wrong.
Once you have kids, you are no longer first priority. You&#8217;re not even second priority. As a father, you’re third priority. First priority: your kids. Second priority: your wife. And then comes you.
A disproportionate number of people who commit these types of acts are children of broken homes. And it turns out a disproportionate number of people who commit violent crimes are also products of broken homes.
Longstanding social science data indicates delinquency radically increases when no father is present in the home. Crime radically increases; teenage pregnancy radically increases.
This is what happens when a society decides it is very important to disengage from the institutions and civilization that channeled passions and, instead, just humor those passions and let everything else be left by the wayside.
I think the American people are ready for a serious conversation about what the good life looks like. There&#8217;s a lot of talk in politics these days about the common good and what we all hold together. What is it? What is sacred? What ought to be put beyond political debate?
It used to be beyond political debate that family comes first.
I think the American people are tired of all this, tired of the deep libertarian sexual ethos. I think we are in the middle of what could be a cultural renaissance.
That kinship principle — to be with your family in your home, to raise your children so that their children will have healthy children, to build familial wealth over the course of generations, to sit on the porch when you&#8217;re 80 years old with your grandkids playing in the yard, to know you lived a good, dutiful, purposeful life and will continue contributing to future generations — that is what Americans yearn for.
Because without it, the country falls apart.

With Islamic Republic of Iran’s (IRI) growing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/flashback-tim-walz-called-the-iran-deal-the-best-path-forward">nuclear</a> and <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/19/politics/us-concludes-iran-behind-trump-biden-harris-hacking/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cyber</a> threats, it is curious that the Democratic Party in this country still panders to the regime. IRI is not a friend of the free — so why do some in this country, particularly those on the Left, insist upon capitulating to the Islamic extremists? 
There is an episode of &#8220;The Twilight Zone&#8221; (the original version) that speaks to this unholy alliance. In “People are Alike All Over,” two astronauts from Earth, Marcusson and Conrad, crash their spaceship on Mars, which is habited by intelligent life. Marcusson dies from the crash — but before their departure, he assures Conrad not to worry about the aliens, for “people are alike all over.” He is an optimist and sees the best in everyone. Conrad, however, doesn’t see the inherent good in others like his late partner and is fearful of the Martians. He imagines the worst. But it seems Marcusson was correct not to worry. The beings, far advanced beyond humans, assist the stranded Conrad and provide him with food and comfortable shelter; they seem generous and eager to share with him. The twist — and there is always a twist with &#8220;The Twilight Zone&#8221; — is that the well-furnished house provided by the aliens is actually a cage. It is a zoo exhibit complete with a sign on the outside reading, “Earth Creature in His Native Habitat.” Conrad is imprisoned for the rest of his life. In this chilling ending, he stares in horror at the ogling crowd of extraterrestrials and realizes Marcusson was unwittingly still right: people are alike all over.
This episode first aired in 1960. For this day and age, I echo Conrad and warn the Democratic Party: Islamists are alike all over.
Islamists are fundamentalist Muslims whose ultimate goal is world domination. Islamists hunger to subjugate others, truly the rest of the world, under Sharia. As such, they loathe the West, especially the United States. They view freedom enshrined in the U.S. Constitution not as fundamental human rights but as blasphemy and satanic. They include the likes of ISIS and the Taliban, Islamic groups whose atrocities are widely condemned throughout the West. And importantly: Islamists are also the Islamic regime in Iran. But just like the Martians in &#8220;The Twilight Zone,&#8221; the mullahs of IRI obfuscate their true nature. They speak our language by <a href="https://democrawonk.com/2024/06/28/iranian-elections-the-never-ending-saga-of-hardliners-vs-reformists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calling their politicians “reformists</a>.” They ease our discomfort by depicting popular support for the regime. But do not be fooled like poor Conrad. This is <a href="https://www.hoover.org/research/soft-power-iranian-regime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">propaganda</a>. Their cruelty equals that of ISIS and the Taliban. IRI is not as open with their torture and executions as ISIS was, but these are daily state-sanctioned practices.
So how do we avoid Conrad’s fate? How can we escape caging ourselves and foregoing our autonomy? I propose a simple method: Imagine the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is Osama Bin Laden. How would you feel about the United States giving Bin Laden <a href="https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2023/11/15/iran-receives-access-to-10-billion-thanks-to-u-s-sanctions-waiver/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">billions of dollars</a>? How would you feel about Bin Laden’s agents working as <a href="https://www.iranintl.com/en/202408150305" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advisors to American politicians</a>? How would you feel about Bin Laden sympathizers <a href="https://www.iranintl.com/en/202404246143" target="_blank" rel="noopener">receiving American funding for research</a> that would be shared with Al Qaeda? 
Islamists are alike all over. When September 11 happened, the Islamic Republic of Iran celebrated. I was nine-years-old at the time and remember receiving candy at my school in Tehran. The largest terror attack on American soil, nearly 3,000 Americans dead — this was joyous news. Do we really want to engage with a regime — and its apologists — that cheer our death? What happens to those who open their doors to these extremists? Look at Afghanistan to find the answer. Or Iraq. Or Yemen. We cannot tolerate this evil. Our democratic pillars are strong, but they can still crack.
<h4><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you.</a></h4>
The U.S. government should investigate domestic ties to the Islamic Republic more rigorously. Anyone with connections to the Islamic regime should not be given visas to come to this country. Additionally, the American public needs to understand the truth, that the Islamic Republic of Iran is ISIS by a different name. It is the Taliban. It is Al Qaeda. Knowing this will help the American people hold their leaders accountable, whether by ballot or other means.
&#8220;The Twilight Zone&#8221; is a fun show to watch—from the security of your couch. Its chilling twist endings provide rich entertainment. Its themes, often of human nature, help us ponder philosophical questions. Rod Serling’s timeliness narration deliciously haunts us through the screen. It is fun escapism, but no one actually wants to live in &#8220;The Twilight Zone.&#8221;

Ben Shapiro: Here you start to see the beginnings of the age of a constitutional monarchy. There are even hints of this in Deuteronomy. One of the laws in Deuteronomy is that the king is supposed to carry around his own Sefer Torah. He&#8217;s subject to the law. The king is not above the law. Judaism is very clear about that and so is Christianity. Henceforth, the idea of limitations on absolute government are part and parcel of the whole system.
Jordan B. Peterson: One of the things that, to me, lends historical credence to those sorts of stories is that it does not exactly show David in a positive light. So what kind of propaganda is that exactly?

Shapiro: That is definitely one of the things in favor of biblical narrative is that when you show all the warts, it suggests that you&#8217;re not propagandizing.
Peterson: Yes, definitely. And that happens a lot.
Shapiro: That&#8217;s the entire Exodus story. The idea is that you have an absolute monarch in Pharaoh, and he is a god, so everything he says goes. Then people are brought forth from slavery to freedom, but the freedom requires subjugation to God. You&#8217;re still a servant, but you&#8217;re not a servant of a person anymore. Now, you&#8217;re a servant of an ideal. You&#8217;re a servant of a higher power. And that means inherently limiting the power of human beings.
Shapiro: This is like a massive cistern.
Ze’ev Orenstein (Director of International Affairs): So, you see here, it&#8217;s an ancient cistern. You see the plaster, here, on that wall that would keep the water in.
Peterson: So people would have carved this out of the rock?
<div id="attachment_785713" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-785713" class="wp-image-785713 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/08/MixCollage-23-Aug-2024-12-38-PM-1947-1024x576.jpg" alt="Screenshot: DailyWire+" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/08/MixCollage-23-Aug-2024-12-38-PM-1947-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/08/MixCollage-23-Aug-2024-12-38-PM-1947-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/08/MixCollage-23-Aug-2024-12-38-PM-1947-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/08/MixCollage-23-Aug-2024-12-38-PM-1947-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/08/MixCollage-23-Aug-2024-12-38-PM-1947-2048x1152.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />Screenshot: DailyWire+</div>
Orenstein: Sure. One of the challenges that Israel still has is water scarcity. And so here&#8217;s how you would store water. Now, keep in mind, if we are coming from next to the palace, this is not a private person’s cistern. This, you can see, is a massive area. This is the cistern that archeologists believe could have been the cistern where Jeremiah was thrown into a pit. Jeremiah was perceived at that time to be a traitor. He had said that if the people don&#8217;t change their ways, Jerusalem is going to be destroyed. But he was a prophet of doom. Nobody wanted to hear what he had to say, and the advisors of King Zedekiah got tired of hearing this guy go around calling for the surrender of the city, so they threw him down into a pit. Now, can I tell you for sure Jeremiah is thrown into this pit? I can&#8217;t tell you that, and if not this one, it was one near here like this one.
Peterson: All pits are the same, if you’re thrown into them.

Orenstein: Here, they say, what&#8217;s the plan? He&#8217;s going to drown, right? It’s a cistern. But the Bible makes it clear: There&#8217;s no water; there&#8217;s mud. And he&#8217;s sinking into the mud until a servant to the king goes before Zedekiah, and he says, “You might not like what Jeremiah is saying, but it’s not him who’s saying it. He’s a prophet. He&#8217;s a man of God. The words are God&#8217;s words. You can&#8217;t do this to Jeremiah.” And the king says, “All right, you&#8217;re right. Go take 30 people with you and pull Jeremiah up out of the pit.” And then it goes on to say how he keeps true to his message about what&#8217;s going to happen to Jerusalem. But this is where, back to the last days of Jerusalem before the Babylonians destroyed it, you have Jeremiah here sinking into the mud, hearing the impending destruction above. This is where it’s playing out. We take for granted today the ability to be critical of our leadership, to hold our leaders accountable. But going back thousands of years, there was a position in biblical times, that of the prophet, whose role was to go to the highest levels of society and to hold those leaders accountable and let them know that there are consequences for falling short. There are consequences for making poor decisions, unethical decisions.

Shapiro: Both the Judaic side of government and the Greek side of government are predicated on the idea that there are limitations to what government can do. You can make the case that the biblically based system is more of a limited monarchy, where the powers of the king are fairly limited, but the kingship is not derived from the people. And the Greek system is that authority is derived from the people and is almost unlimited. When Aristotle talks about how there are three types of governments and all have the capacity to devolve into tyranny, that&#8217;s what he&#8217;s talking about. You can have a benevolent monarch, which is more like the biblical system, but even the Bible is pretty divided over whether kings are good or necessary. Samuel gives a whole speech before the appointment of King Saul, saying, “You guys are really going to hate this king thing. You probably shouldn&#8217;t do it.” And the people say, “Well, no. We want it anyway.” And God says, “Ok, fine. If they want it, they&#8217;re going to get it.”
Orenstein: Every single day here in the City of David, we&#8217;re unearthing antiquities that show, not simply as a matter of faith, but as a matter of fact, Jerusalem&#8217;s biblical heritage coming to life.

An anti-Israel group that claims to represent &#8220;thousands of Columbia students&#8221; publicly acknowledged a deeper truth: they are fighting to “eradicate” Western civilization.
The Columbia University Apartheid Divest coalition — which states in its <a href="https://cuapartheiddivest.org/demands" target="_blank" rel="noopener">list of demands</a> that Columbia University should “[s]ever academic ties with Israel universities” and “Defund Public Safety and disclose and sever all ties with the NYPD” —   joined with the university’s Bengali Student Association to post a statement on Instagram, as Campus Reform <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/columbia-university-anti-israel-group-says-fighting-total-eradication-western-civilization/26077" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
“We are Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization,” they stated. “We stand in full solidarity with every movement for liberation in the Global South. Our Intifada is an internationalist one—we are fighting for nothing less than the liberation of all people. We reject every genocidal, eugenicist regime that seeks to undermine the personhood of the colonized.”
”As the fascism ingrained in the American consciousness becomes ever more explicit and irrefutable, we seek community and instruction from militants in the Global South, who have been on the frontlines in the fight against tyranny and domination which undergird the imperialist world order,” they continued.

”As we, the militants of Hind’s Hall, continue our fight for Palestine from within the belly of the beast, we draw inspiration not only from the Palestinian resistance but from every struggle for liberation across the globe,” they declared.
Social media users bashed the Instagram post with comments such as:
<blockquote>
Mask fell off. Share this around people, the world must be informed of who they really are and what they want. If you are American or European they hate you and want to destroy you.
I’m so embarrassed for y’all that this was posted in seriousness. You all are students at an Ivy League college calling yourselves “militants” and stating you want to eradicate the civilization you actively benefit from? You know, the one that allows you to have the freedoms and privileges to even post some s*** like this?
I’m from Central Asia, if you hate “Western Civilization” so much, let US deport you, and instead give me and other people who want to move to US and contribute to it &#8211; a Green Card. That’s a fair replace? Deal?

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro talked with Somali-born author, human rights activist, and former Dutch Parliamentarian Ayaan Hirsi Ali about the strange alliance between the Left and radical Islam and asked her about the biggest challenges facing the West during the latest edition of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/oppression-to-empowerment-ayaan-hirsi-ali-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ben Shapiro Show Sunday Special</a>.”
Ali was born into a devout Muslim family in 1969, but fled to the Netherlands to avoid an arranged marriage to one of her distant cousins. The Somali woman has since become a fierce free speech and human rights advocate. She <a href="https://unherd.com/2023/11/why-i-am-now-a-christian/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">converted</a> to Christianity after being a prominent atheist in part because of Christianity’s positive influence on Western civilization.
“I want to start with what may be the biggest crisis facing the West and there are really two aspects of this. One is a failure of the West to understand itself, and one is a failure of the West to understand other parts of the world,” Shapiro said before asking Ali to share her thoughts.
“Let me start by the first part of your question,” Ali replied. “Which is ‘what&#8217;s the biggest challenges facing the West?’ And in my view, the biggest challenge by far is the West&#8217;s insecurity about its own legacy, about its own Judeo-Christian traditions, about the institutions it has built, about its own prosperity, and the values that led to that prosperity.”
Ali then dove into what she believes is the culprit behind Western society losing its Judeo-Christian traditions.
“At some point, the West has allowed itself to feel guilty and that guilt was weaponized against it,” she said.
“So why do you think that the West has lost its way?” Shapiro asked. “There are a lot of people who posit that it&#8217;s a loss of religious faith. There are a lot of people who posit that in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, the West basically has no confidence in its own ability to shape the world. But where do you place the blame for the West having lost its confidence?”
“It&#8217;s both. But I think that the loss of faith and the loss of faith in the Christian core,” Ali said, adding. “I think that is a very, very important point that was neglected and maybe so neglected to the point where we literally are on the brink of losing everything.”

Later in the interview, Shapiro and Ali discussed how the West straying from its Judeo-Christian roots has resulted in the culture witnessing an alliance between the far Left and radical Islam, which has been especially noticeable in the recent anti-Israel protests on college campuses across the U.S.
“The only commonality between the far-Left and radical Islamists is their desire to tear down the civilization,” Shapiro said.
Ali agreed, adding that there is a disconnect between the younger generation and the faith and principles that guided most people throughout the history of Western civilization.
“I think most of them maybe didn&#8217;t grow up with faith and don&#8217;t really know what their roots are. That&#8217;s not just faith … they&#8217;ve also been guilt-tripped,” Ali said. “So they&#8217;ve been left to the wolves to pick on their minds and culture — their minds, their hearts, their souls. And that method of fighting is proving to be much more effective than the use of military tools alone.”

‘On The Brink Of Losing Everything’: Ben Shapiro Discusses ‘The Biggest Crisis Facing The West’ With Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Sunday Special

The Ben Shapiro Show

There are a few things in life that if somebody tells you, you automatically know they are a grifter. They&#8217;re a con man; they&#8217;re trying to con you into something.
The most obvious sign of a con artist is somebody who&#8217;s telling you that a well-known, well-worn truth — something that is absolutely irrefutable — is not true. They know better.
They know better because they&#8217;ve seen through the matrix, they&#8217;ve seen through that truth; that truth is actually a mask for the underlying reality.
Now, there may be some widely held notions that are untrue, but in order to debunk those notions, you would actually have to show why your notions are better.
However, if someone suggests, for example, “Hard work is useless. I have a better way to earn you fast money without a lot of work, without getting yourself educated, without putting in the hours to develop a skill set,” that person is conning you. They are lying to you.
If somebody were to tell you there is an easy way for you to get fit with no exercise while eating trash, that person would be lying to you. That person would be conning you because, obviously, you need to eat healthy and exercise if you want to be in shape.
And the biggest one of all — and it&#8217;s held true by pretty much every grifter movement of the last couple of centuries — is the idea that you should not get married, that marriage is bad for you, that somehow marriage is going to ruin your life.
Now, there are a lot of problems with the current legal structure of marriage. I agree with the critique of the current legal structure of marriage. No-fault divorce is one of the worst things that ever happened to Western civilization.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1949-andrew-tate-s-filthy-grift-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
Marriage is a commitment. That commitment is lifelong. There should actually have to be a really good reason why you are divorcing. That is particularly true if you have children because marriage is designed as the fundamental building block of institutional society. It is the place where children are reared. It is the place where you produce children, and children require stability.
It is from those fundamental building blocks of civilization — “the little platoons,” as Edmund Burke called them — that you can actually build a functional, free civilization, which is why every grifter movement of the last couple of centuries has assaulted the family from the outside.
For example, Karl Marx was very big on assaulting the family. The Communist Manifesto famously suggests abolition of the family. Why? Because the family is a place where you might learn “bourgeois” values. It&#8217;s a place where you might be inculcated into responsibility, duty, or church. These are all very bad, according to the Marxist movement, which is why the Communist Manifesto <a href="https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch02.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">says</a>,
<blockquote>On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed form, this family exists only among the bourgeoisie. But this state of things finds its complement in the practical absence of the family among the proletarians, and in public prostitution.</blockquote>
So blowing up the family would allow for a better world. Don&#8217;t get married. Fight the fight. Blow up the traditional institutions that actually support a functional society, and fight the fight.
The idea of the Left is that every single person is basically a malleable widget violating the strictures of the evil society. This is part of the big con, which is the idea that there are things like gender roles that are rooted in biology; however, if you can see through that immutable truth, then you will have destroyed the matrix. This is the perspective of the Left, and this is why they fight the family. This is also why children have become a tote bag to this group of people. It&#8217;s something you occasionally have in order to manipulate in a particular form or fashion.
But the attack on the family is not, unfortunately, restricted to the political Left. All grifters, all con men, have to take immutable truths and subvert those immutable truths in favor of something only they have uncovered — something incredible that you never knew about. And if you just take the red pill, then you&#8217;ll know it.
You&#8217;ll know it, and then you&#8217;ll be right. You won&#8217;t have to do hard work in order to be rich. You won&#8217;t have to be a good person in order to attract a good mate. You won&#8217;t have to spend the time raising your children in order to be a successful man. They&#8217;ve discovered the secret.
The leader on this side of the movement is Andrew Tate, who got his start as a provocative reality TV star, then began a webcam business effectively grooming women into sex trafficking. According to his own admission, that&#8217;s how he made his money. Whether he says they were groomed or not, the reality is he groomed women into getting into the webcam industry and pornography.
This is Andrew Tate’s game. He&#8217;s considered entertaining because he “explodes the myths.” But the way that he “explodes the myths” is by playing a really stupid game for stupid people.
The game is like this. “I&#8217;m going to say two transgressive things, things that violate the taboos of the culture around me. One of those things is true, and one of those things is false. But because they are both transgressive and because people will oppose me on both of them — one for bad reasons and one for good reasons — I have somehow gotten under the skin of the matrix. Everyone opposes me, which is why I&#8217;m a rebel.”
That&#8217;s Andrew Tate&#8217;s entire game.
So he will say things like feminism has ruined men by usurping the male role and robbing men of their initiative. That is true. That is not politically correct to say.
But then he will say another transgressive thing that is absolutely false. For example, “Women love it when you treat them like garbage, and you should treat women like garbage; dominant men are the kind of men who treat women like garbage.”
That is not true. It&#8217;s transgressive. And it&#8217;s transgressive specifically because it&#8217;s evil. It is bad to say. It is bad to think. Women should not be treated like trash, and good women do not want to be treated like trash. Further, treating women like trash is not going to make your life better. And it is not going to make their life better.
But it is transgressive to say; it is taboo. Tate has violated many taboos, and he can get away with it because the rules don&#8217;t apply to him. He&#8217;s a “Nietzschean Ubermensch” because he is very buff and because he works out a lot and because he smokes cigars. And this means you should listen to him.
You should listen to him so much that you should pay him $49.99 a month to join Hustler&#8217;s University, where you will learn other secrets — secrets like how you don&#8217;t need hard work and initiative in order to really get ahead. You can learn his magical methods for making lots of money.
You can own a Bugatti, just like Tate owns a Bugatti. All you have to do is listen to his magical business advice, which explodes all of the matrices of truth, the immutable truths.
The reason I&#8217;m bringing up Andrew Tate is because he, again, is playing the game with two transgressive things. The true thing that he has said is, “I pray Christianity regains its strength and protects its societies against the pervasive and constant erosion of morality by the devotees of Satan. If you accept everything, you stand for nothing.” I agree with every word of that statement. Christianity ought to regain its strength and protect its society against the pervasive and constant erosion of morality by the devotees of Satan.
But then, Tate put out tweets like the one that he did yesterday. It comes up in the context of marriage. Yet again, he is saying an immutable truth must be exploded. That immutable truth is the fundamental good and necessity of family.
He stated, “Dear white men. You’re f***ed. You&#8217;re being replaced because none of you have children.” Even within this tweet, he is making a couple points: one true, one false.
One, Western societies are not reproducing at replacement rate. That&#8217;s very bad. But he goes further because his game is to say many transgressive things — some true, some false. <a href="https://twitter.com/Cobratate/status/1780180832369402005" target="_blank" rel="noopener">He writes</a>: 
<blockquote>Dear white men. You’re f***ed. You&#8217;re being replaced because none of you have children. Even those of you bi***ing about the replacement online like little girls don&#8217;t find the gumption to f***. I see white men bragging about having 5 kids as if it&#8217;s an achievement. lol. Five? Lolol. Per year right? Ohhhh. All you white boys lost control of you’re (sic) women and now they won&#8217;t accept multiple wives anymore. 
Now they tell you they don&#8217;t want anymore kids. One’s (sic) enough. They don&#8217;t want to do their god given job anymore no, they want Instagram likes instead. So you’re (sic) genetic potential is stumped by the whims of some singular female. A female who takes 9 whole months to grow a single baby. Other races have multiple ovens for bread. We&#8217;re not cucked. Some **** is screaming at you about loyalty and you&#8217;re sitting there saying, “yes, baby” Jerking off to porn when she&#8217;s asleep or maybe cheating with a side***** (CONDOM ON!) Oh no I couldn&#8217;t get another woman pregnant my wife would kill me!!! Total f***ing losers. 
Soon your race will be nothing more than a few pages in a history book. A lesson on what happens when you f *** the female psyche so hard they&#8217;re obsessed with money and social media as opposed to being one of many baby factories for a king. 30 children minimum for the dons. White people? Go talk to your “best friend” wife about what to do this weekend. Maybe you can take a nice walk around the Ikea. Enjoy extinction. </blockquote>
So, one true thing, many false things. One true thing: People need to have more kids in Western civilization. But many false things: Marriage is bad. Loyalty to your spouse is bad. Society can be built on men running around having sex with 30 women and having 30 kids per year, and this is the true measure of a man.
And young men think, “Wow, that sounds amazing,” because the male sex drive looks for various women. That is just the way that mammalian biology is built. Men seek to impregnate many females. So that sounds great to a bunch of young men. Or getting off on Tate&#8217;s webcam business. It sounds amazing to them.
That&#8217;s also not how societies are built. But again, the idea is — and this is how you know it’s a con — marriage is bad. He&#8217;s actually saying marriage is bad because if you&#8217;re a “person who has five kids, lol.”
I have four kids. I’ve been married for 15 years. If you have four kids, double the replacement rate, you are doing your societal job. But that can only exist and can only create functional children, children who are going to propagate good values, if there’s a father in the home.
Here&#8217;s the thing. If you impregnate many ladies and then you leave, you have created a generation of young men who are incapable of raising themselves. The effects of single motherhood in the United States are very well known: high levels of drug use, of crime, of poverty, of suicidal ideation. It creates actual pathologies. 
That is what Andrew Tate is promoting because he is a con artist, and he&#8217;s conning you into doing something. He is conning you into giving away the only pathway toward actual societal success and personal success in favor of his vision of a Genghis Khan-like spreading of his seed.
The reason this is important is because a lot of young men are falling into this sort of treachery.
