Podcast Summary: The Isabel Brown Show, Episode "NYC Already Forgot About Terrorism"

Date: March 10, 2026
Host: Isabel Brown (Daily Wire)
Main Theme: Examining the Thwarted NYC Terror Attack, Media Narratives, and the Erosion of Honest Discourse

---

Overview

In this episode, Isabel Brown addresses the apparent collective amnesia in New York City and beyond regarding the threat of radical Islamic terrorism, in light of a recently thwarted terror attack outside NYC Mayor Zoran Mamdani's residence. Brown explores media coverage, political responses, and the public's reaction, drawing parallels to past attacks and reflecting on the legacy of her late friend and mentor, Charlie Kirk. She contends that powerful cultural and political forces are working to shift blame away from radical actors and onto Christian conservatives, with implications for both the safety and cultural fabric of the West.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Six Months Since Charlie Kirk’s Assassination

• [00:59 - 02:08] Isabel opens with a heartfelt reflection marking six months since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, sharing her ongoing grief and remembering Kirk’s dedication to warning about the dangers of radical Islam and socialism in America.
  • “I still can't quite wrap my head around the reality that it's been six months... this horrifying tragedy has happened.” — Isabel Brown [01:15]

2. The NYC Terror Attack and Media Spin

• [02:08 - 08:20] Isabel explains how, while “unplugged” over the weekend, she missed major news of an attempted bombing at a protest outside Gracie Mansion (the mayor’s residence). Upon returning, she was unsettled by the media’s presentation.
  • The protest was organized by Christian conservatives against Mayor Zoran Mamdani.
  • Two ISIS-trained radical Islamic jihadists targeted the protesters, throwing TATP-based nail bombs.
  • Mainstream outlets framed the incident as right-wing or Christian nationalist aggression, not a terror attack on those groups.
  • “If I see one more nauseatingly propagandized headline trying to get you to believe that what happened in New York City over the weekend is somehow about radical right wingers targeting a socialist Muslim mayor, I'm going to gouge my eyes out with a fork.” — Isabel Brown [03:09]
  • “[The terrorists] were much more clearly attacking Christian conservative Americans than they were socialist Muslims in the mayor’s office.” — Isabel Brown [06:27]

3. Charlie Kirk’s Warning: The "Red and Green Axis"

• [03:35 - 05:11] Isabel recalls Kirk’s framing of the alliance between "wokeism/Marxism" (red) and Islamism (green) as a profound threat to the American way of life.
  • Notable Quote (Isabel quoting Kirk):
    “The spiritual battle is coming to the west... the enemies are wokeism [or] Marxism combining with Islamism to go after what we call the American way of life... Christians... these two threats are combining forces to come after us.” — (Quoting Kirk) [04:00]

4. Frustration Over Blame-Shifting and Double Standards

• [08:20 - 13:40] Isabel provides examples of misleading headlines and official statements, documenting how they imply conservative protesters instigated violence, sidestepping the reality of radical Islamic terrorism.
  • She expresses anger at the continued portrayal of conservatives as dangerous extremists.
  • “If this isn't the most blatant, disgusting propaganda you could possibly imagine, like, what are these people actually thinking?” — Isabel Brown [12:31]
  • Mocking media coverage: “Interesting… Maybe my personal favorite. The New York Times: ‘Smoking jars of metal and fuses thrown at protest near Mayor's house...’ These people make me want to vomit.” — Isabel Brown [10:32]
  • She warns that laws may be passed in states like Virginia criminalizing “Islamophobia” rather than addressing radical threats.

5. Mayor Zoran Mamdani’s Response

• [13:44 - 16:08] Isabel critiques the mayor’s tweets which label the protest as rooted in “bigotry and racism,” blaming named activists and suggesting equivalency between peaceful protest and attempted bombing.
  • “Tying that to Islamic terrorists who were trying to kill as many American citizens as possible as the same thing. No differentiation. Doesn’t name the bombers by name. I wonder why. Probably because their names were not Jake Lang, but ok.” — Isabel Brown [14:53]

6. The Details of the Bombing Attempt

• [16:09 - 21:00] Brown reveals key details downplayed by the media:
  • The bombers, Emir Balat and Ibrahim Nee, shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the attack.
  • The devices contained TATP explosives, notorious for previous use in major European terror attacks (London 2005, Paris 2015, Brussels 2016).
  • “There are countless videos… of an Islamic Jihadist lighting a homemade bomb on fire, throwing it at the police... and the mayor... is still targeting this as white supremacy.” — Isabel Brown [17:13]
  • A retired NYPD inspector explains the technical difficulty and seriousness of TATP bombs, confirming these were “very powerful, viable devices” similar to those used by Al Qaeda and ISIS.
    • “This could have been a lot worse. But... this is a very, very big deal.” — Retired NYPD Inspector [20:30]

7. Official Contrasts: Police vs. Political Messaging

• [21:00 - 22:46] Whereas the NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch states outright that this is being investigated as “ISIS-inspired terrorism,” the mayor and much of the media continue to cite white supremacy as the main concern.
  • “This is being investigated as an act of ISIS inspired terrorism... not hoax devices nor smoke bombs. They were improvised explosive devices that could have caused serious injury or death.” — NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch [21:32]
  • Isabel notes the mayor’s discomfort during the police press conference: “He, like, almost flinches when she says the words ‘ISIS inspired terrorism’ because he’s refusing to admit that’s what this actually is.” — Isabel Brown [22:01]

8. Broader Cultural Effects—UK Dog Ban Example

• [22:46 - 25:55] Isabel draws a parallel to the UK, discussing a controversial proposal to ban dozens of dog breeds—pointing to public suspicion that this move is designed to accommodate new populations who dislike dogs, rather than a genuine concern for animal welfare.
  • She reads British social media comments skeptical of the government’s rationale, “We know the real reason... it’s probably because of all of our new neighbors.”
  • “It starts with being unable to call obviously a terror attack as a terror attack. And it ends with your family dog being given the boot to appease halal standards, which literally flies in the face of Western civilization banning the corgi in the UK. What is wrong with you people?” — Isabel Brown [25:27]

9. Closing Thoughts: Remembering Charlie Kirk

• [25:55 - 26:31] Isabel closes with a call to prayer for Charlie Kirk’s family and an appeal to her audience to not forget the ongoing threats and what’s at stake.
  • “Charlie, I hope and I know that you can hear us on the other side... Please pray for us while we wait to join you in eternal life.” — Isabel Brown [26:23]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “Charlie had more moral clarity on this issue than pretty much anybody... about the dangerous axis... between Islam and socialism.” — Isabel Brown [03:35]
• “Do we need to look further? Minneapolis? New York City... with the election of Mayor Zoran Mamdani? ...last weekend is maybe the most powerful example of just how far this has actually gone.” — Isabel Brown [05:11]
• “NBC New York tweeted this. ‘Multiple arrests made after suspicious devices found outside Gracie Mansion home of Mayor Zoran Mamdani during anti Islam rally and counter protest’ ...You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” — Isabel Brown [09:30]
• “It’s not Islamophobia, it’s a legitimate fear.” — Isabel Brown [13:51]
• “A retired NYPD inspector... says these were very powerful, viable devices... this is a very, very big deal.” — [20:30]
• “NYPD commissioner... confirmed that the attack is being investigated as an act of ISIS inspired terrorism... He [the mayor] almost flinches when she says the words.” — Isabel Brown [21:10–22:01]
• “We ride at dawn against these psychopaths that are legitimately trying to ban corgis in the United Kingdom.” — Isabel Brown [25:18]

AI so this happened over the weekend. And it seems New Yorkers have already forgotten, or at least the mayor has what happens when radical Islamic terrorists target American citizens? This should terrify you. Today is Tuesday, March 10th, and I would be remiss before we ever talked about anything else without letting you know that it has been officially, as of today, six months since my friend and mentor Charlie Kirk was assassinated on a college campus last fall. I still can't quite wrap my head around the reality that it's been six months, that this actually is something that physically took place in our country. I'm still grappling how to navigate personal grief versus understanding the massive 30, 000 foot implication of the fact that we're living in a different this horrifying tragedy has happened. But obviously this has been heavy on my heart this week. And over the weekend I tried to just unplug from my phone and I tried not to just doom scroll about all of the Charlie edits that are inevitably coming back up on my feed because it is six months since his passing and I tried to just spend some time with my family in Charlie's honor, which is his favorite thing to do every single weekend. To truly unplug, turn your phone off as much as possible and spend time with the people who matter the most in your life. Then I logged back onto my phone on Sunday evening and found a phone flood of information about a thwarted terror attack that happened in New York City, allegedly targeting the Mayor of New York City, Zoran Mamdani, allegedly coming from some radical anti Mamdani conservative Christian protesters. There was a lot happening on social media, and I was genuinely shocked to have missed most of this throughout the weekend when I was unplugging and spending time with my family. But the more I have dove into this subject, the more viscerally uncomfortable with it I am. Because on the note of Charlie Kirk, this is truly one of the last subject subjects that he was diving in all of his attention, all of his energy, and his entire platform to covering just how much the media, our politics, and American culture at large is running interference against you covering anything related to radical Islam. So in his honor and in his spirit, today on the show, we are diving headfirst into this. Because if I see one more nauseatingly propagandized headline trying to get you to believe that what happened in New York City over the weekend is somehow about radical right wingers targeting a socialist Muslim mayor, I'm going to gouge my eyes out with a fork.

[D]

Ew. Gross.

[B]

Charlie had more moral clarity on this issue than pretty much anybody I know about the dangerous axis he was calling it, the axis between red and green, between Islam and socialism, and was really taking time on his show and on his platform to let people know, hey, this is a really big problem and is going to be impacting American culture and politics and the west at large far more than anyone is giving this credit for.

[C]

The spiritual battle is coming to the west and the enemies are wokeism or Marxism combining with Islamism to go after what we call the American way of life. And the American way of life is very simple. I want to be able to get married, buy a home, have kids, allow them to ride their bike till the sun goes down, send them to a good school, have a low crime neighborhood, not to have my kid be taught the lesbian, gay, transgender garbage in their school, while also, while also not having them have to hear the Muslim call to prayer five times a day. That's important. We want the American way of life, which is, by the way, Christendom Christians. Our sacrifice, our toil, our vision, the outgrowth of the scriptures gave us Western civilization. And this is where I think is a great rallying cry. It doesn't matter if you're Hispanic, doesn't matter if you're Asian, doesn't matter if you're black or white. Everybody if you are Christian and Jesus Christ is your Lord and savior. These two threats are combining forces to come after us. And it's time that the church stands and rises up against it.

[B]

And certainly in the last six months alone since his passing we have seen radical Islam fundamentally transform the cultures of the United Kingdom, Australia and many other countries around the west, let alone here at home in the United States of America. Do we need to look for further at Minneapolis? Do we need to look further at New York City after Election Day with the election of Mayor Zoran Mamdani? I don't think so. But last weekend is maybe the most powerful example of just how far this has actually gone in the year of our Lord 2026, and no one is paying attention to it. From what I can understand and feel free to correct me a little bit more in the comments because again, I wasn't watching all of this happen in real time. I was unplugged. I was taking some time on the actual Sabbath of the weekend to unplug, to not constantly be doom scrolling on my phone and spend time with my family. There was a group of individuals who came New York City and decided to have a protest against Zo Run Momdani near Gracie Mansion, which is the mayor's residence in New York. And basically to say New York City was built by white Christian men and that white Christian men do not feel currently represented by the individual currently sitting in the mayor's office. Maybe a little bit controversial at least as the media is going to cover stuff like this, but not anything like wildly out of the ordinary like newsflash. People protest things all the time in our country, that is the First Amendment to the Constitution for a reason, because it is perhaps our most basic fundamental human rights without respect to the right for life, which we can talk more about later, but the right to freely criticize people in positions of power and to make your voices heard. Pretty standard American culture stuff, right? And in the midst of this protest organized by Christian conservatives to protest Zoran Mamdani, there was an attempted terror attack to kill as many people as possible, to injure as many people as possible, and to wreak havoc on New York City. Here's where this gets really interesting. The media immediately, immediately began portraying this terror attack as something that came out of a protest against Zo Run Mamdani led by Christian conservatives in our country, when in reality this terror attack was targeting those protesters from two radical Islamic jihadists who, yeah, turns out, had been trained by ISIS and were much more clearly attacking Christian conservative Americans than they were socialist Muslims in the mayor's office or anywhere else in our country. The last time I have seen news outlets target something so blatantly propagandized was when Donald Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania at his campaign rally, then to a lesser degree when Charlie Kirk was killed. Although the media in the immediate aftermath was actually quite reasonable for the most part. Not looking at you, msnbc, but for the most part, people actually did honor Charlie better than I was expecting. But when Donald Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, I'm sure you guys may remember, I was on my honeymoon, which was a wild experience. Staying up all night in Italy watching how all was unfolding. All of the media rushed to say Donald Trump fell down on the stage. A loud noise was heard in the crowd at Butler, Pennsylvania. Something disturbed the event like no one in the media was actually covering the fact that he was shot by someone attempting to kill him. Exact same thing has happened in the last 48 hours in the wake of this attempted terror attack in New York City. If you read the headlines covering this event from virtually every mainstream media outlet out there, you would have assumed a crazed RA white nationalist, Christian nationalist, conservative MAGA person was attempting to kill Zohran Mamdani and his wife while they were in the Mayor's mansion. NBC New York tweeted this. Multiple arrests made after suspicious devices found outside Gracie Mansion home of Mayor Zoran Mamdani during anti Islam rally and counter protest. Their official headline of course being two people in custody after suspicious devices ignited outside New York City mayor's official residence after an anti Islam protester fired pepper spray at counter protesters. One of the counter protesters, AKA radical Islamic trained terrorists, ISIS trained terrorists lit and threw an ignited device through the protest area. The same individual, not terrorist, then retrieved a second device, lit and ran with it before dropping it. These people are evil. They're genuinely evil at this point. Evil. ABC News police arrested several people after a smoke generating suspicious device was thrown during a protest at Gracie Mansion. CBS News Suspicious devices ignited during protests near Manhattan's Gracie Mansion, Mamdani's official residence. The Guardian explosive device thrown outside of Zoran Mamdani's residence at anti Islam protest. Two men are in custody in connection with the incident after anti Islam demonstrators clashed with counter protesters. You keep using the horde. I don't think it means what you think it means. So let me get this straight. Muslim terrorists, ISIS trained, radical Islamic terrorists threw a bomb made of nails, something that they've trained at these ISIS training camps. Many, many people to do at anti Islam protesters. They targeted the protesters outside the mayor's office. And yet if you read this article and you read this headline and you saw the pictures that they were putting with this stuff, you would think white Christian nationalists were trying to kill the Mayor of New York City. Interesting. Interesting. Maybe my personal favorite. The New York Times Smoking jars of metal and fuses thrown at protest near Mayor's house. Six people were arrested after anti Islamic protesters led by the right wing activist Jake Lang clashed counter protestors near Gracie Mansion. These people make me want to vomit. And of course to really drive the point home that it's these crazy racist white Christian men that are clearly trying to kill the Mayor when he wasn't the intended target of this terror attack. NBC New York Again, Mayor Mamdani was home when protesters lit device outside Gracie Mansion. Lovely.

If this isn't the most blatant, disgusting propaganda you could possibly imagine, like, what are these people actually thinking? Well, I can tell you exactly what they're thinking, actually. They're trying to foment division and hatred and targeting you as a Christian, as a white American, as a general conservative that's opposing the policies of a socialist, Zoran Mamdani, as radical, as dangerous, as a terrorist, actually, that needs to be rid of from society, extradited from polite culture and labeled as an extremist. When the actual extremists that are trying to kill you on the basis of being white or Christian or conservative or American, they're totally fine. They're counter protesters just exercising their right to free speech at this radical anti Islam event.

[D]

Fake news.

[C]

It's fake, phony, fake.

[B]

And I better be careful now actually that I'm saying this in the state of Virginia right now. They don't send me to the Gulag because we're literally trying to pass hate speech laws that only protect Islamophobia. But maybe at this point, if you're not even allowed to have a conversation on if ISIS is trained, terrorists are compatible with Western civilization, it's not a phobia, it's a legitimate fear. Uh huh. Of course, Mayor Mohammedani took it upon himself to immediately add some fuel to the fire on all of this and tweeted this out on his personal account the day after the attempted bombing happened on Saturday. Of course, the bombs failed to actually ignite. They were made of some really specific materials, but they did not succeed. We'll get into that in just a second. On Sunday, March 8, the mayor tweeted this. Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang, names by name, organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion. Rooted in bigotry and racism, such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city's values and the unity that defines who we are. I don't know anything about Jake Lang. I've never met the guy, never heard of his name before all of this happened. So I don't really care to comment on any of that. I just don't. I don't know what the purpose of the protest namely was, but actually the city's values are indeed founded in Christianity rather than Islamic socialism. Just read a history book, so that's an odd thing to say, he says. Then what followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest, never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are. Literally tying this protest, peaceful protest, people actually going to make their voices heard and say that they oppose certain government policies. Your rights under the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights to our Constitution. Tying that to Islamic terrorists who were trying to kill as many American citizens as possible as the same thing. No differentiation. Doesn't name the bombers by name. I wonder why. Probably because they're names were not Jake Lang, but okay. Doesn't call that bigotry or racism against white Americans. No, no. Only targets the people there protesting his policies. And then insinuates that the violence that happened at this event was at the hands of these people, was their fault. Then he follows it up by saying, I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran towards danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect this city every single day. Love that we're past the defund the police moment in American history, but geez, Lou, what did it take to get here?

[D]

That's not funny, Proctor.

[B]

No, sir. My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our police commissioner. Here's what Mamdani failed to mention. While igniting these homemade bombs they learned how to make in an ISIS training facility, these two bombers, Emir Balat and Ibrahim Nee, shouted out allahu Akbar. And yet, of course, the media will probably spend the next several weeks saying just we don't know what the motive was. We don't know anything about that. There's no way to know. There's no way to know what the motive of this attack was. It probably came from the right wingers at this protest. The word jihad. Never used the word terror attack. Never used the word Muslim. Never used. There was literally a terrorist attack right outside your home in New York City, a place that's very, very deeply familiar with what happens during radical Islamic terror attacks. And you lied about it. As the mayor of New York City, I want you to repeat after me Zoran Momdani, because it seems to be something beyond your elementary education, provided by Ms. Rachel. Today's letter is M for Mom. Donnie. Yay. Radical Islamic terrorism. What's crazy to me is there are countless videos that have been captured of this specific attack by journalists and citizens who were just standing nearby. People literally get this on video of an Islamic Jihadist lighting a homemade bomb on fire, throwing it at the police in the General direction of the police and the people protesting at this event and then jumps the fence and runs away. And the mayor of New York City and the entire legacy media apparatus is still targeting this as white supremacy or bigotry or racism. When this video is on loop all over my social media, honestly, thank God all over again that Elon Musk bought X. Because without that, I don't know that any of us would have an accurate depiction of what's actually happening at horrifying tragic events like this. These bombs that were thrown, there were two of them and I think I have a photo of them to show. You actually had TATP explosives inside with screws and bolts and nails. And for the record, TATP explosives were used in the 2005 London bombings, in the 2015 Paris attacks, in the 2016 bombings in Brussels, and in the 2017 attack at Manchester arena in the United Kingdom that took the lives of many, many people. We just talked about that the other day actually on the show with Tommy Robinson. So this is a very clear cut and dry Islamic terrorist strategy that these radical ISIS trained jihadists have been using for upwards of more than a decade actually. But Zoran Mamdani's statement doesn't call this TATP shrapnel bomb what it was a TATP bomb. He calls it an explosive device. He doesn't name the two bombers, Ibrahim Nikh and Amir Balat. He does not use the word terrorism. He doesn't mention ISIS or Al Qaeda. He doesn't even admit that this is a terrorist attack at all. A retired NYPD inspector actually joined Fox News to talk about this. I think this is really valuable information as to what the media at large is failing to cover here. Listen to this.

[C]

Where did they get it?

[D]

I mean, is TATP something that you

[C]

can, you know, go to a hardware

[D]

store and buy the chemicals and make, or is it something they probably brought in from somewhere else? No, you can make the chemical, you can get the chemical, but you got to know how to mix them. You got to have how to mix them in the right proportions. And as I said, it's a volatile substance. And the footprint for this kind of thing previously has been the major terrorist organizations that we contended with for so long after 9, 11. I'm talking about things like Al Qaeda and ISIS. And as far as I can remember, John, and I'm taxing my memory, I don't recall it ever being attempted here on the continental United States. If you are in my old job, this is a very, very big deal. My understanding is that the devices are in federal custody, likely en route, I would imagine, to the FBI lab in Quantico or perhaps the big lab that they have with the ATF in Alabama. And they'll be doing a very deep forensic on it. The NYPD bomb squad would have done the initial work on it. They would have deconstructed the devices, rendering them safe for hand over to the feds here after X raying them. That's what took a little bit of time. But look, the police commissioner's office has been pretty transparent. They came right out and told us, hey, these were very powerful, viable devices. This could have been a lot worse. But I would argue that the fact that they were charged with some version of tatp, which for whatever reason didn't detonate, and we may find out one of the cops on the scene literally pulled the fuse out. So, you know, some of the story remains incomplete, but, wow, this is a big deal.

[B]

This is a big deal. So that was a retired NYPD inspector explaining to you just how odd it is that these devices actually didn't end up detonating, but how difficult they are to put together that these are used by Al Qaeda and isis. And of course, this is a major potential terror attack in the heart of New York City targeting American citizens. He also notes there in that this TV hit, that the police department has been extremely forthcoming that this is a really big deal and clearly is terrorism. Which is odd to me if the mayor of New York City is refusing to admit it as such. The NYPD commissioner, Jessica Tisch, confirmed that the attack on Saturday in New York is being investigated as an act of ISIS inspired terrorism. She explains that this is a very, very severe problem. It is clearly a form of Islamic extremism. And yet Mamdani literally started this exact same press conference blaming white supremacy. Listen to what she had to say, though. This is being investigated as an act of ISIS inspired terrorism. Preliminary test results determined that these were not hoax devices nor smoke bombs. They were improvised explosive devices that could have caused serious injury or death. What really gets me about that clip is how uncomfortable Zoran Mamjani looks. Looks standing next to the police commissioner. He, like, almost flinches when she says the words ISIS inspired terrorism because he's refusing to admit that's what this actually is. I hate to say I told you so, but there were a lot of people really worried about this right after and leading up to election day 2025. Did New York forget? Is New York still in the process of forgetting what happens when we empower and embolden Islam extremism as normal in Western society. By the way, if you want the end conclusion of what happens when you refuse to acknowledge things as they are, take a look at what's happening in the UK right now. Have to leave you with this. I was scrolling through TikTok over the weekend to find that the United Kingdom is indeed considering a potential ban on up to 67 breeds of dogs. They say that this is for the safety of dogs. Breeds with flat faces, long bodies and short legs could be banned for future breeding in the United Kingdom. But included in this list are many, many, many dog breeds that actually pass the bill when it comes to safe breeding and ethical breeding standards all over the world. Daily Mail covered this saying 67 dog breeds could be banned in Britain if new breeding guidelines become mandatory. Via Parliament, the all party Parliamentary Group for Animal Welfare has launched a new tool to determine if a dog is healthy. It's a 10 point checklist of extreme physical characteristics that can make for an unhealthy dog. Stuff like excessive skin folds bulging outward, turning eyes, drooping eyelids and over. Or an underbite or a muzzle, your nose that interrupts the dog's breathing. I will say this, as someone with a very deep affinity for corgis, I worry for other smaller dogs. I'm looking at you, the French bulldog. I know this is really controversial. Frenchies make me so nervous because have you heard them breathe? It's like. Not okay, sorry Frenchie parents out there, okay? But included in this list are quintessential British dog breeds that are totally fine, like corgis. I'm not even a Brit, but my anger for you. We ride at dawn against these psychopaths that are legitimately trying to ban porgies in the United Kingdom. Then I will destroy you again. These people claim this is for the safety of your dog. But remember how we said this is what happens when you normalize radical Islamic extremism into Western society. If you look in the comment section of the Daily Mail, TikTok sharing this headline or the article that they published online, virtually every single comment is from Brits saying this. We know the real reason that they're doing this. On a side note, how can they possibly claim to have dog suffering as the excuse when they're happy to legalize abortion up till birth in a truly sickening move. Great question on the abortion front, but this Brit says we know why the government is actually doing this and it's not because of dog safety. It's probably because of all of our new neighbors in the past few years. Skyline Pigeon commented this no, this is all about appeasing a protected class who are offended by dogs. Gee, I wonder who that could be. So no, dogs are not the issue and should not be banned. However, if they're so inclined to ban any group, I know where they should start. Or how about this one on TikTok opposable thumbs hmm. New visitors in the UK hate dogs. This ban seems awfully convenient for their accommodation. It starts with being unable to call obviously a terror attack as a terror attack. And it ends with your family dog being given the boot to appease halal standards, which literally flies in the face of Western civilization banning the corgi in the uk. What is wrong with you people? Before we let you go, do me a huge favor today and just continue to pray for Charlie Kirk's family as they are navigating this new chapter of their life. I can't believe that it has been six months. And Charlie, I hope and I know that you can hear us on the other side of everything. Please pray for us while we wait to join you in eternal life.
