Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy, his spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point usa. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here.

Go to noblegoldinvestments.com It's a topic that has really been weighing on me, which is the Mohammedism that is growing in the West. And I don't think Christians and conservatives, I don't think that we are really prepared to confront the rise of cultural Islam, which is the rise of political Islamic way. Too much attention, by the way, goes towards the radical Islamist groups, not in a bad way. I mean, obviously the ones that are beheading Christians and the Houthis. And it's terrible. I mean, no one supports that. I'm talking about something completely different. I'm talking about cultural Islam. I'm talking about the slow, subtle suicide of the West. We're going to ask Andrew Sedra, who has been speaking out against Islam in Australia, is Islam compatible with Western civilization? It's a very serious question. And I'm not attacking individual Muslims. Of course, we all know individual Muslims that are good people and they act fine. That's not the Is the ideology compatible? Is it oil and vinegar? Are they going to be able to fit together? It's a very simple question. I can say right now, leftism and Western civilization are incompatible. Not. They are incompatible. Leftism and the west cannot coexist. One has to win either the left or the West. It is very simple. It is a binary. Islam is not the faith of Western civilization. There is a reason that America was born from a Christian heritage. It never could have been born from Muslim heritage. We're going to explore that in a second. Blake did a great job summarizing this. Thank you, Blake, for going through the Russian stuff. It's actually. The call has not yet been translated. Here's what we know. We know first that Putin made Trump wait. Of course, obviously, I'm a big strong man because I'm bl. Okay, sit down. I mean, whatever. Typical diplomatic nonsense. Honestly, good for president. This is very important, though. This shows the magnanimity of President Trump. You know, he gets shown on television as being impulsive and having no patience. And President Trump could have canceled the phone call because obviously, President Trump is the statesman here. But President Trump understood what Putin was doing. It's an old kind of diplomatic Russian tactic. By the way, he did the same thing to Tucker Carlson. He made Tucker wait two and a half hours for him when he went to go interview him in the Kremlin. Anyway, President Trump did the right thing and probably laughed about it, said, oh, you know, Vlad thinks he's a real tough guy now. He took the high road. He deserves credit for it. Well done, President Trump. The call lasted more than 90 minutes, so about 45 minutes of discussion, if you account for the translation back and forth. Dan Scavino at the White House claimed the call was going well. It was ongoing. A Russian government official said, quote, under the leadership of President Putin and President Trump, the world has become a much safer place today. That's a promising sign, hopefully. While Trump and Putin were on the call, President Zelensky's chief of staff. I'm telling you, if there's one reason why this war won't end, it's Zelensky. I'm telling you, this guy is getting in the way of it. Every. What pot. I'm losing patience. Anyway, he said while Trump and Putin were on the call, President Zelensky's chief of staff stated that Ukraine supposed red lines for peace, saying that Ukraine won't accept a neutral status, won't reduce their armed forces, and won't recognize any Russian gains in Ukraine. Well, okay, but if a good peace deal is on the table, Ukraine rejects it, and then the consequences are on them. Yeah. For the record, I Lost patience with Zelensky a long time ago, but then I tried to renew my patience, of which that reserve gets depleted every time I look at him again. So the situation is ongoing between Zelensky and Putin and Trump. Understand, President Trump is here as the. As the magnanimous statesman. If he gets this done, it is Nobel Peace Prize territory. And I'm not just saying this hyperbolically. If he gets this deal done and of course, Crimea should be on the table. Absolutely, Crimea should be on the table. It was given symbolically by Nikita Khrushchev, I believe. That's. That's correct. In what, 1954, as a gesture, basically saying, hey, you know, this is Russian, Ukrainian harmony. We're going to live together. It's symbolic. It was a gesture of 300 years of Russian Ukraine unity. The. What's the best example of this? The best example would be if, like, we wrongly gave Mexico, Texas something as silly as that. Like, obviously, Texas is part of America. It has Texans. It's okay. Blake says it would be even dumber than that. Okay, give me an example. Like what? Give us giving them Ohio or us giving, like, Canada Ohio or something. Maybe that would. That would be dumb as. Dumb. I don't know what Blake means that that's dumb or. Anyway, point being is that the. It would be like Michigan giving up the Upper Peninsula to Wisconsin. Okay, got it. That would be pretty dumb. Now, did Biden ever try to de escalate this conflict? Did Biden ever try to calm down the tensions and the pressures and the angst and the anxiety? Was there ever an attempt for mass, mass de escalation? No, we saw the opposite. We saw a pressure campaign, in fact, a creation of a pressure cooker of armaments and the slow motion sleepwalking, the barreling towards a potential hot nuclear war. And if I may just speak candidly, I actually feel better tonight about the future of the world that our countries are talking, that our countries have actually some sort of channel. We have learned that there was no diplomatic back channel between Russia and the United States. Biden cut everything off, which is just so unbelievably stupid. It's so immature. It's so imprudent for anybody to do that under any circumstances. You should always have some way where you can even communicate with the enemy. And then we forced Russia into the Chinese Communist Party orbit. Speaking of orbit, by the way, those astronauts are coming back. Thank you, Elon Musk. We are going to talk about that. It's an amazing story. It's a monumental story. The Chinese Communist Party is the threat. Our entire foreign policy should be primarily focused on curtailing the rise of the Chinese Communist Party, the ascension of the Maoists, and that's what they are. And insofar that you have this triangulation, the new axis being created, Iran, with the Persians, the Chinese Communist Party, and potentially the Russians, you had a big problem. Why would we hand over an element of the Axis? And then you got the cartels, which then operate as proxies of all of them to be able to then infect and poison our youth and invade our nation. Remember, Russia was not a primary ally of the United States going into World War II. It was only because of. Because of Hitler's megalomania that eventually Russia and Germany got at odds with one another. And eventually we kind of found ourselves allied with the Soviet Union, which, by the way, was the right thing for us to do. Russia lost millions of people. We do not have to be in perpetual conflict with Russia. You should write that down and commit it to memory. I don't like Russia. I don't think highly of their government. They're not a free society. It's run by a bunch of gangsters and thugs. It's like if the Mafia took over a country. That's basically it. They do have some rich culture that is worthy of appreciation and recognition. Like Tolstoy is a real thing. Dostoevsky real thing. Tchachy, real thing. War and Peace, real thing. Like, that's real stuff, real beauty, real art, worthy of recognition, worthy of appreciation, worthy of study. So you can. Both those things can be simultaneously true. But Washington only exists in the binaries. Washington only exists of enemy, friend, good, evil. Sometimes it's far more nuanced than that. And Russia has always operated in the gray, by the way. They are a very gray country, just to be honest. They're aesthetically gray. Their mood is gray. They're always depressed. They're drinking themselves to sleep. They're a very gray people. And kind of more metaphorically and then more literally, they seem to be and gray in foreign policy. Sometimes they're a friend. Sometimes they need to be kind of brushed off a little bit. And Andrew says in the chat, they are Europeans, after all. It's.
