Time Text
Coming up, special edition of the podcast today.
My exclusive interview with the man known as Son of Hamas, Mossab Hassan Youssef, an interview from Jerusalem.
And hey, if you're watching on YouTube, X or Rumble, listening on Apple or Spotify, please subscribe to my channel.
This is the Dinesh D'Souza Podcast.
Music Music Music America needs this voice.
The times are crazy in a time of confusion, division, and lies.
We need a brave voice of reason, understanding, and truth.
This is the Dinesh D'Souza podcast.
Guys, the two defining issues of our time in the broadest sense are darkness and light.
So there's darkness all around us.
We see it domestically, the Charlie Kirk assassination.
In fact, just now recently an attack on the ice facility, and apparently this was done by some kind of an Antifa guy.
We see again bullets and ammunition with markings with writing on them.
So this is somewhat new.
But here we have it again.
So this appears to be some kind of a new mechanism or new strategy being used by the violent left.
And of course, we see a continuation of turbulence in the Middle East.
So there's there's darkness over there, there's darkness over here.
It's really the same darkness.
And the light, the light is revival.
The light is a spirit of renewal.
We see in Israel, for example, the Jews are taking up with the strength of the ancient Israelites.
And we as Christians also need to get strong and get tough and be up to the challenges that are being thrown in front of us, not just by bad guys doing bad things, but ultimately by the devil, by the ultimate adversary who wants something from us, namely our souls.
Now, special episode of the podcast today.
And by the way, this is a two-part episode, part one today, but each of the parts stands on their own.
A conversation with a remarkable man, Mossab Hassan Youssef, also known as Son of Hamas.
That was the book he wrote of that title.
He is the oldest son of Sheikh Hassan, one of the core founders of Hamas.
And ever since Mossab broke with Hamas, his life has been in danger.
He has been on the run.
It was not easy for me to get this interview.
Debbie and I were trying to arrange it online.
Mossab said he could do it, and then he couldn't do it because of some security issues that's come up, and he had to be on the move.
And I cannot imagine what this poor man goes through day by day, but he's incredibly brave, and he's incredibly smart.
And happily, I was able to corral him while Debbie and I were in Israel for our pilgrimage road event.
I was able to go to the studios at TBN in Jerusalem and have a really powerful one-on-one with Mossab Hassan Youssef.
So you're in for something that I won't call it a treat, but it's something I think that you'll find absorbing in the world.
incredibly timely.
This is a guy who knows Hamas really from the inside out.
He also understands the events of the region up close in the way that it's for those of us who are far removed.
We can learn from this guy.
So without further delay, here is my conversation live from Jerusalem with Mossab Hassan Yusuf.
Hey, I know a thing or two about being targeted by the government, but don't give them a reason to target you.
Owing the IRS back taxes is a good way to get targeted.
Are your tax returns still unfiled?
Did you forget to file for an extension?
The October 15th deadline is fast approaching.
Time is running out.
If you haven't gathered all your documents or made any estimated payments, you could soon be chased down, targeted by the IRS.
Now they can garnish your wages, they can freeze your bank accounts, even seize your property.
They have a lot of power.
But there's help available.

Talk about making a big mistake.
In 2000, Blockbuster passed on buying Netflix.
By 2010, Blockbuster had filed for bankruptcy.
So sometimes saying no can really cost us.
And today, many people over 62 are saying no to reverse mortgages and overlooking the value of their home equity.
So for those who have undersaved, it can be a lifeline for more cash flow to supplement social security.
For those with money, reverse mortgages can improve tax planning, make investments last longer, even allow you to leave a larger inheritance or help family while you're still here.
Reverse mortgages can be one of the smartest moves in the fourth quarter of life.

Guys, I'm um delighted to be having a conversation with someone I admire immensely.
It is Mossab Hassan Youssef, also known as Son of Hamas because of a book that he wrote of that title.
This is one of the bravest men alive.
He is the son of Sheikh Hassan, who is one of the founders of Hamas.
And yet, as he came to understand Hamas and understand the so-called Palestinian struggle.
Mossab Hassan Yusuf turned away, turned against Hamas, spoke out against Hamas, began to tell on Hamas, and as a result, found his life in grave danger.
In fact, his own father called for his assassination.
And this is a man who now lives a hunted life.
He is, in a sense, on the move.
I don't know if it's right to say he's on the run, but he's someone who has to look over his shoulder in the full sense of that term.
I'm very lucky to be able to have this conversation.
It is a rare one-on-one discussion that we're going to have about Islam, about the Palestinians, about Gaza, but also about something that concerns him deeply, what he sees as happening in the West and in America.
We're having this conversation in Jerusalem, and Mossab, it's it's a pleasure and an honor to be having to have a chance to speak to you.
Let me jump right in.
We are seeing emerge something that I think is one of the strangest alliances that one would never have anticipated.
Let me sort of put it put it this way.
Charlie Kirk recently assassinated and assassinated by a suspect or by an alleged suspect who is motivated by you could call it leftist or trans ideology.
And yet, as I think about that, and I'm thinking, and I think about the people who celebrated that, uh, they're on the secular left.
They're delighted that this happened, they were cheering, uh, one guy was singing a song, we got Charlie in the neck.
And I it reminded me of the jubilation in Gaza following October 7th.
And I'm like, these seem to be sort of the same people, but they're not the same people.
In fact, the secular left and the uh the Islamic radicals, if I can use that term, they don't have the same philosophy.
They don't seem to have the same goals, and yet they are strange badfellows, they are politically somewhat aligned with each other, and clearly they seem to use some of the same tactics.
How would you account for this very bizarre alliance between the secular left in the West and radical Muslims?
Well, first of all, thank you for having me on the show.
I appreciate it.
Um it all comes down to uh one word radicalization, indoctrination, extremism, and this is the environment, this is the culture where I came from.
My birthplace uh in uh what's known as the West Bank, the city of Ramallah.
Things were very peaceful prior to the first intifada.
But then material starts coming from uh Afghanistan, jihadi material.
They screened it in the mosques.
Then other ideologies of Abdallah Zam, the Muslim Brotherhood also invaded our territory.
But that was not it, because also communists had their own uh agendas and their own uh followers.
It became the uh public uh front for uh liberating Palestine.
So jihadists and communists, two opposing forces.
What brings them together?
A common enemy, which is in in our case was Israel.
They radicalized everybody, and of course, part of their system uh was to uh indoctrinate children, and this is the abuse that Palestinians agree on.
Radicalizing, indoctrinating children is totally acceptable in the uh Palestinian society.
And of course, uh decade after the kid, people die, and children become terrorists.
Children become suicide bombers.
And instead of realizing that this is a vicious cycle, can never end, uh they praise suicide bombing, they praise violence, they don't look at the root cause, which is the spread of uh Sik ideologies that is a threat to any society, not only uh the Palestinian society.
Before it was Palestinian society, it's an Arab society, but Palestinianism is basically an ideology, it's uh a religion of a kind, a belief system, and they brainwashed everyone.
I was supposed to die for that cause.
Nobody ever told me that my ethnicity was an Arab.
They wanted us to be Palestinians, even though Palestine never existed.
They wanted us to believe that there is occupation, and we were supposed to fight until death for the sake of the cause.
So I end up in prison, I lost my family, and look today, 15 years later, uh, after I left the region, it's a total destruction of Gaza, total destruction, and instead for the Palestinians to have a full uh pause to stop and evaluate the entire thing,
they continue to blame, they continue to ignore the process of indoctrination and radicalization.
So now, in the shadow of the assassination of uh Charlie Kirk, this is just the beginning, and this is what I've been warning, you know, as an American for 15 years now.
My book came out, uh I got shunned by my family as outcome, I was not seeking fame, I left all my security, fame, honor, power behind in the Middle East, and I moved to the United States for one thing, my freedom.
And when I expressed myself to say this is the reality of Hamas, the mainstream media immediately cancelled me because I criticized Islam, and that was the taboo and is still the taboo today.
They tried everything within their ability to silence me, and here we go.
Now America is becoming vulnerable to the Hamas, Palestinian, communist, jihadi, Islamists, ideologies flooding social media from China, from Russia, from North Korea, from the devil, Only God knows 30% of the social media activity is run by
Uh state-sponsored bots that flood the internet, and people start believing that it's reality because many people are agreeing, but they don't realize that this is all computerized stuff.
And now humans adapted the lie, the indoctrination, the false narrative, the victim narrative, most importantly, even though I made it very clear over the years that the victim mentality is a very dangerous virus, and it's against the American spirit that depends on resilience.
This people want everybody to become a victim.
They don't people to fight the good fight for freedom.
And now they are criminalizing everybody who speaks against it.
We are aware of the tragedy of Gaza.
We are aware that children are dying, we are aware of the bloodshed, but how does it originate?
They don't want to accept, they are in total denial, and this is the outcome when you bring such uh victim narrative to the United States in a generation that's totally confused and swayed by social media that they don't know and they don't have the power to discern false from uh from true.
Now, the reality that America or the new generation has been indoctrinated of ideologies that goes against the American spirit and the American values should not surprise anybody and that more people would act on it and begin to use violence is a certain thing.
This is just the beginning.
And by the way, from the beginning of the war, I thought don't invite Palestinianism into the United States.
It's a black hole.
But nobody is listening.
And sooner or later, we are going to deal with some of the some deadly consequences.
Mousab, you've said so many things, I'm gonna put this in slow motion because I'm going to slightly restate what you just said in my own words to see if I'm capturing it correctly.
You're saying that this peculiar alliance between the secular left, let's call this the Gred faction of the communists, and on the other hand, the Islamists or the radical Muslims is not just a feature of the West, it has actually been occurring inside of the West Bank and inside of Gaza, right?
Because you said that the PLO, the communists, they were an alliance together, this red and green alliance, so to speak, um creating this atmosphere of toxic indoctrination inside of the world of the of the Arabs, the Palestinians, and creating an ideology that you're calling Palestinian Palestinianism, which I want to I want to get into in a moment.
And then you're saying that this destructive combination that is destroying the destroying Gaza is being imported into the West and into America, and you're saying that if it is not stopped and checked, it will destroy America.
It wants to replace America.
China and Russia, they're very clear about their goals of changing the world order.
Unfortunately, communists, or let's say communism, which is considered according to CIA, the red danger, and Islamism, which is considered the green danger, these two dangers are opposing forces, first of all to each other, then opposing forces to uh the capital model.
Putin and Qi, they are determined to put the United States in the back seat.
Today they take advantage of the Palestinian trigger.
Palestine is only a device.
It's the uh Trojan horse.
And they have been paddling the flames of conflict to sabotage America, to divide America.
They don't want America to lead, and they cannot have a much more destructive device than Palestine, even though Palestine is non-existential.
It's a replacement.
So this is the big game that most people are not paying attention to, but 10 years of counter-terrorism experience is part of the Israeli intelligence.
It's the biggest school of my life.
And also my knowledge of the intelligence briefings that coming from NATO, coming from Europe, coming from the United States.
Governments are aware of this danger.
It's not a secret.
But they don't Know how to counter it.
And this is what I said, social media and AI is allowing them to transcend the political and cultural barriers, to indoctrinate spoiled kids who don't know better, and to recruit armies.
Now the problem with the desperate social media wannabes who feed on the uh the likes of money.
And these people built empires out of this confused people, and they are not retreating.
Even though you bring them the truth, the facts, they are just uh made up their mind on a certain truth that they don't want anyone to challenge it.
And when we come to them and say, you have been uh working to push agendas that are very dangerous, that is targeting the American social fabric, the American security, the American spirit, the country is divided, and they just want to go on as long as they are making a career out of the tragedy of Gaza, they don't want to stop.
Have you been surprised, Mossab, that we have seen this phenomenon that you're describing, which is the exploitation of Palestinianism of Gaza?
We sort of expected it to come from the left, because the vocabulary of colonialism, the vocabulary of America is evil, America is participating or backing genocide.
This goes back 50 years.
Uh, we've heard it before, we're hearing it now.
But we are also seeing this strange phenomenon from social media figures on the right who are also feeding this beast.
Um you think that the motive here is just opportunism?
Is it is it just to become a social media sensation?
Is it to tap into the vulnerability of a younger generation that has amnesia or doesn't even know what the world even looks or feels like?
I mean, you and I have grown up in other cultures, so we know how things are on the ground, but the ordinary American following this kind of information that they're fed it, they don't know how to check it, uh, and they have no experience that would contradict it.
Uh, have you been surprised to see the sort of right wing or MAGA um participation in this in this problem that you're describing?
Okay, honest truth.
I wasn't on social media for about 10 years.
I just recently, when the war started, I had to open some accounts so I can communicate with the public.
It's like I was in a coma somehow, and I wake up on a reality where everything is done uh in the virtual uh realm.
And of course, not only opportunists, uh, there are also uh wolves among the sheep.
Everybody is driven by a certain desire, whether if it's fame, uh money, uh, power, there's lots of power when you have lots of followers right now.
Everything is measured by how many followers do you have.
Uh it's not about how truthful you are, it's not about how experienced do you qualify to talk on the topic.
None of these people have been even to the territory or to Gaza to understand the culture.
They they took sides at the beginning, they started as anti-war activists, which is legitimate.
I cannot cancel their right to say ceasefire.
But when they turned into uh anti-Israel activists, generalizing uh and labeling the Jewish nation as genocidal, as uh colonizers, cancering their right to exist, demonizing, dehumanizing and defaming.
Uh this is now very, very dangerous uh take on the problem.
Those who don't know the reality of the Middle East did not have the right to talk on the topic.
But they did anyway.
What's the outcome?
More confusion.
The spread of false narrative and violence are connected in the Palestinian territories.
When the lies start growing and more people start believing in it, the peaceful environment that I grew up in as a child was gone forever.
The moment they start saying globalize the intifada, the moment Abdallah Zam and the other Muslim Brotherhood jihadists brought their ideology, it became bloodbath, mass shootings, assassinations, chaos, they sabotaged economy, education.
And within no time, suicide bombing, more than 100 suicide bombing during the second intifada.
This is what Palestinians did, and this was way before October 7.
So false narrative, victimhood, very in very dangerous uh constructs, and this is the very foundation of Palestinianism and Padistan.

Is the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians?
The revival of an ancient conflict.
Recorded in the Bible.
The nation of Israel is a resurrected nation.
What if there was going to be a resurrection of another people, an enemy people of Israel?
Dinesh de Suza went into a war zone to make his new film.
It offers a new way to understand October 7th.
Israel, radical Islam, anti-Semitism, and biblical prophecy.
Could the fate of the world of humanity itself be tied to this place?
We came back to a land that was largely barren and empty, and we brought it back to life, and we're going to keep it.
The dragon's prophecy isn't just about the Middle East, it's about you.
Because without that Jewish foundation, there is no Christianity.
Based on Jonathan Khan's international bestseller in theaters October 6th and 8th.

This film contains graphic violence of October 7th.
What Masab is the psychological root of this?
In other words, if you show me a child who has been propagandized, I go, I understand how that happened, right?
But if you tell me that the parents are aware of this indoctrination, they are supportive of it, they are backers of Hamas, they recognize that this could result in the leveling of their society, but they persist in it, I ask myself, like, what is it about human nature that doesn't say this destruction is terrible, it's not working out for us?
Look at the result of it.
I mean, what is it about human nature that says, let's Keep doing it.
Is it merely that the are the is the civilian population living in fear, or is the civilian population in it with Hamas?
Look, there's so many things to uh to study uh regarding this phenomenon.
Uh for example, tribalism.
This is the West cannot understand tribalism, especially when it's uh uh let's say pairing with jihadism, these two forces.
The people are not fighting for land, the Hamas, the Palestinians, when they are driven by tribal uh vengeance, they are looking for revenge, they just want to inflict the maximum pain on their opponents.
This mentality is not known in the West.
Maybe at some point they will be behaving that way and burnt by the same fire, and this is why when we say those who lived in the conflict and uh express their experience, I'm not the only one.
We are not many, but at least we reflect and project both cultures.
I spent half of my life among what so-called Palestinians, which is nothing but a false identity, and half of my life among the Jewish people.
It's a very unique position, and I'm not posing as I'm the only one who qualified to talk on this, but I'm trying to navigate my way against so many currents of opportunists who are trying basically to just push their agendas, driven by selfish desire, and not knowing that this is how children die.
They want to justify October 7 as an act of resistance, and within them, no, this is the barbarism of the seventh century.
Just look at what's happened in Syria recently against the Druze, for example.
Same scenarios, barbarism, burning people alive, killing women, raping, kidnapping.
Uh in seventh-century mentality, tribes used to fight for a hundred years until they annihilate their enemy or get annihilated.
It's a culture.
Do you think sorry, but my point is when you bring tribalism, at least this is one dimension of this paradox, it's not everything.
Infinite forces at play.
The destruction of Gaza is it was not just a simple problem of uh indigenous people fighting for their land, and there are two forces, Coronizers and indigenous people.
There's so many forces at play, and this is why the destruction is total.
Not because Israel wanted to do that, because there is no other way.
If Gaza is not leveled to ground zero, it will continue to breed terrorism.
Today, jihadists, tomorrow communists, and the next day could be socialists.
This is the breeding ground that has been going on for about 70 years, and so many uh foreign entities from the Islamic Republic to Russia to Egypt to the Arab League, to the Muslim countries, to the oil uh money.
Even today we have Americans and Europeans uh who have been uh exploiting the tragedy.
How it will never end, and you cannot satisfy their ambition because they're not one force.
I wish they were just an ethnic group with a purpose that they say, okay, we want this piece of land, and we want to establish a nation on it.
They were given a land back in 1948, and they've been given a land again and again opportunity to build a nation, to build a state, but they refused.
Their focus has been the destruction of the Jewish state that they refuse and reject the right for Israel and Jewish people to exist in the region.
So there's so many things we can talk about.
Is it jealousy?
Israel, for example, hard working people, successful minority.
Their culture is based on education.
They praise diversity.
They are driven by life.
While the other society is jealous.
They're given the best part of the land for your information.
The best part of the land, and they failed to develop it.
Now they want to go dominate the other part, the other side of the river, the greener side.
Why?
Because it's developed.
Why?
Because there is freedom.
Women are free.
The beaches are thriving.
The economy is thriving.
So now here comes the human condition as well.
It's not only hate, it's also jealousy, it's delusion, it's human conditioning based on myth of the seventh century, tribalism, and add to that all the foreign entities trying to settle their score and making the children pay the price.
I can go on and on forever.
This is why I am totally against this vessel called Palestine.
It's a very, very dangerous trigger.
And if the people don't wake up, if it's not going to be only the destruction of Gaza, it would be the destruction of Europe and possibly the destruction of the United States.
Tribalism is one thing, and then you have something that is not tribal per se, you have Islam.
Islam is universal in its claims.
It is two and a half billion or two billion people out of the uh eight billion or so on the planet.
Um there has been a debate in America going back to 9-11 about whether Islamic radicalism of the kind that we've seen in Al Qaeda, we've seen with ISIS, we've seen it with Islamic jihad.
Is all of that a natural product of Islam, or is it a deviant uh spin-off of Islam that is out of the true spirit of Islam?
What do you say?
Look, this is the uh dangerous uh zone that nobody wants to enter.
Why?
First of all, Muslims are a majority.
When we talk about 25% of the population of earth, this is not just a small minority.
Right.
And they are very powerful because behind them is Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the uh Persian Gulf uh money, the Islamic Republic.
They have been buying the West.
That includes property, that includes politicians.
When a small country like Qatar, but very wealthy, owns 10% of the French bonds or trust.
Do you want to convince me that they don't have influence when it comes to the French politics?
And they oppose as a moderate Muslim country, while basically they are uh sponsoring Hamas, spreading the Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood ideology, and selling the West through their Al Jazeera, a peaceful version of Islam that does not exist.
Let's say the vast majority of Muslims, they don't agree with the Islamic barbarism.
And I'm going to say barbarism, why?
Because in the Quran, and this is the highest authority in Islam, it's the word of Allah, and it functions as legislation.
This is what Inspires jihadists, jihadists did not misinterpret Islam.
They understand Islam completely.
So the vast majority of Muslims identify with something that they completely oppose because it's basically their birth identity.
But it's a religious identity, just like Palestinianism.
It's not an ethnicity, it's not a race.
And because of this influence in the West of Arab oil money, they silenced everybody.
Anybody who tried to criticize Islam, they get canceled.
For example, it was my part of my work after I published my books to go to on campuses and speak to the students based on my first hand experience.
And I didn't know why I was canceled from uh campuses.
Today we realize that Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and other oil Arab countries and Muslim countries control campuses because they basically they are big donors.
And how to bring someone who actually broke free from Islam on campus to criticize Islam.
Then they would piss off their donors.
And now they compromise the truth.
Instead of educational institutions, how many people came out of Islam and lost everything, put their life on the line instead of listening.
I studied the Sharia, I studied the Quran, I grew up among Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, which are now functioning as a threat to civilization and to the global security.
Are you kidding me that I did not qualify at least to have a podium or a platform to express my first hand experience?
What kind of universities would cancel me just because of my uh speech?
And I did not mean to offend the Muslims, they labeled me immediately as Islamophobic, even though I was brought up in Islam.
So what's the outcome of this?
Radicalization, and this is how they keep spreading their hateful uh uh ideologies against the West while they have the cover uh of being a peaceful religion.
I have a duty towards the Muslim people, and yes, I need to waken uh to wake them up because they are drunk and deeply asleep, they identify with something that is not them, but everybody's trying to get along,
and this is not the way in Christianity, everybody's uh criticizing Christianity, you criticize Judaism, no problem, it's not a crime, but dare to criticize Islam, and as long as we have not overcome this barrier that is basically created by Arab and Islamic influential states that now control compromised politicians in the West.
As long as we don't realize this, they will continue to invade the West to the point where they would bleed the West from its values, from its ethics, and leave us like literally a skeleton.
I remember Masab watching your speech.
Now you were allowed to speak, or sort of, this was that this was your Oxford um speech, and you had this bizarre spectacle of all these young people who have an opportunity to learn from you.
You're a first-hand witness to the things you're describing, and they were booing and shouting and mocking you, and I was thinking, what is going through your head, you know, as you as you look at this spectacle of these students on a prestigious university,
yeah, but knowing nothing about the subject you were talking About, and yet their condescending, derisive laughter was essentially a statement of their supposed superiority on these topics.
And I was thinking, I wonder what was going through your mind as you as you see this sorry spectacle.
What was going through your mind?
Look, this was not my first time I faced the uh the mob or the crowd.
Yeah, I've done it a lot since very, very young age.
I used to jump on the table in the cafeteria in our college and confront everybody.
It was of the same nature.
And suddenly, when I when I went to Oxford, I prepared something.
It was completely different than what I uh talked about.
When I came there, I realized that it was Ramallah, Ramallah again, of the same mentality, just so many victims, so many angry people, but they don't know why they are angry.
They're not there to listen, they are there to insult us.
There were just a handful of us.
And we had against us hundreds of students out, actually, students inside the chamber, but also we had a lot more outside who were like literally getting in our way, threatening our lives, and we did not have security.
The college did not provide security.
They did they did not have order, it was a mob.
We did we didn't know who were those people, if they were students or something else.
So, how to expect from someone, you know, uh handling such uh a mob, it's a mob.
Nobody came there for truth.
And uh under a life-threatening uh circumstances, it was very, very sad and shocking uh for me.
Uh but I needed to speak anyway, uh, regardless of their intimidation.
Uh sooner or later, they will have to drink from the same cup, these people.
You know, now they are young, they are naive, they think uh that they have figured out the truth, they have no experience, but sooner or later they're going to hit a dead end, or they are going to just realize the outcome of their creation, because civilization is not going to continue the same.
If this is the elite, supposedly the uh future leaders, and this is how they're thinking already.
I came from the depth of Hamas, and so many people in the what uh in the Middle East want me dead to oppose their extremism, to oppose their violence.
All I did I said no to suicide bombing attacks that targeted civilians uh indiscriminately, and they said this is treason, and they put a lie uh a death sentence over uh my head.
Today in the West, so many people agreeing with this, and they have been parroting Hamas accusations and the Palestinian accusations.
So if we want to crucify those who fought on behalf of humanity to save human lives, and we want to sentence them to death, or at least we want to validate such a verdict issued by barbaric group like Hamas.
This means that we have reached a rookbottom.
There was no point at Oxford Union or any other college to actually rationalize with such mentality when they are pointing gun, validating literally a death sentence over my head.
How can I rationalize with people like this?
There is nothing to talk about, there is no room for dialogue.
And uh the more you try to speak to them uh rationally, make yourself vulnerable, bring your uh firsthand experience, which is in my case is full of pain and blood shit, they take advantage of your uh vulnerability, and this is what I don't like.
Hence, I confront because it's too late to convince anybody.
The situation is boiling, civilization at the verge of collapse, The world as we know it is coming to an end.
And we are going full speed.
And all these maniacs spreading dangerous indoctrination on a steroid.
So what are you expecting from me?
Or what public expecting.
I used to speak rational some 15 years ago, but nobody listened.
And when I came after October 7, it was already too late.
and Hamas took over.
These people are very, very dangerous.
Their ideology is very dangerous.
And they have been working freely to radicalize the West.
Europe is at the verge of collapse.
It has been invaded.
And invasion doesn't mean necessarily armies invading.
And when I say the collapse doesn't mean necessarily an attack or terrorist attack on the American or European soil.
I'm afraid of a civil war which would lead to implosion where everything is going to collapse At that time, you will not find Oxford, you will not find colleges.
possibly we would be rattled by famines and violence and drought and disease.
Because the very foundations of the Western civilization is liberty, freedom, and all the ethics that keeps the West thriving.
And now they are emptying it from its essence and replacing it with Middle Eastern jihadi ideology.
Wow, as you can see guys, Mossab Hassan Youssef is quite something for me.
His combination of knowledge and sincerity and passion, all of course backed up by his amazing story, makes him an incredibly credible witness and source.
And we're not done.
This is part one that you've just uh watched or heard.
And part two, more of the same.
We go into a bunch of new and interesting issues, all it all weaves together, all coming up tomorrow.
So buckle up and stay tuned.
