Are we at war with radical Islam? Are we? Well, according to a Rasmussen poll, the National Telephone Survey finds 60% of likely U.S. voters believe the United States is at war with radical Islamic terrorism. 24% share the president's position and disagree. 16% undecided. Yeah, I mean, come on. I wouldn't want you to make a decision.

Well, I don't know. Even 56% of Democrats believe America is at war with radical Islamic terrorism. A view shared by 70% of Republicans and 54% of voters not affiliated with either major party. 92% of all voters now regard to. radical Islamic terrorism as a serious threat to the United States. This includes 73 percent who say it is a very serious one, and that's up 23 points from 50 percent last year. Think about that. Yeah, they're contained.

They are contained. Voters are also more reluctant now to agree with Obama that the radical Islamic State group ISIS, which masterminded the massacres in Paris last weekend is not a reflection of Islam itself. Wait, what? The voters are also more reluctant now to agree with Obama that the radical Islamic State group ISIS is not a reflection of Islam itself. 46% still think the president is right when he says ISIS does not represent true Islamic beliefs. That's down from 58% who felt that.

way in February. Wow. Wow. 35% now believe ISIS does represent Islamic beliefs. One in five. Oh, I don't know. Now, voters who think the United States is at war with radical Islamic terrorism are evenly divided over the question of whether ISIS represents true Islamic beliefs, and 60% of those do not feel America's at war agree with Obama. Weird. I'm not, I'd have to go inside those numbers. I'm very fascinated by these numbers because as recently as January, 52% of all the voters said Islam, as practiced today, encourages violence more than most other religions.

You think? And 75% said Islamic religious leaders need to do more to emphasize the peaceful beliefs of their faith. Some would say that they do as much as they can. Which isn't too much. There's a book out there. It's called It Is About Islam. I think it was written by who the heck wrote that book? It is about Islam. It is about Islam. Oh yeah, a guy by the name of Glenn Beck.

You may want to read that. That's fascinating. 68% consider ISIS a very serious threat. 49% feel the federal government is not devoting enough attention to potential threat of domestic Islamic terrorism. And both of these findings came before the weekend terror in Paris. I would say 68% consider ISIS a very serious threat should be higher, but that's pretty high. 49% feel the federal government is not devoting enough attention to the potential threat. I don't know that I agree with that. We haven't had that many.

We've had a few of the attacks. We've nothing, you know, yeah, okay, you go back to 9-11, but I'm talking since 9-11. We've done a pretty good job in containing them. I hope that we continue that. However, when we have a war mantra of no civilian casualties, zero, you're not going to get very far outside of the country. Now, ISIS has issued a kill list. They issued one list with addresses of military personnel and phone numbers that was earlier this year.

The Pentagon notified all the personnel from that list saying, you know, Hey, be on high alert. ISIS has now come out with another list, brand new. Cities that are on their kill list, cities to be careful in, extra careful in. And I mean, I think you could pretty much name these cities for yourself. A couple of them, you might go, why? Washington, D.C., New York City, New York, New York, Newark, New Jersey. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Toledo, Ohio, Indianapolis, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, Charlotte, North Carolina, Miami, Florida, Tampa, Florida, Atlanta, Georgia, Dallas Fort Worth.

That's right here in Texas, where we're broadcasting from. But many of you are living in these cities, Midland, Texas, Amarillo, Texas, Houston, Texas, Phoenix, Arizona, Tucson, Texas, Tucson, Arizona, Tucson. Arizona, San Diego, California, Sacramento, California, Los Angeles, California, Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, Bonner's Ferry, Idaho, Las Vegas, Nevada, Reno, Nevada, Arlington, Virginia. Wow. Wow. And those would almost, I mean, those, you know, those cities could have terrorist attacks happen at any time. It wouldn't surprise me that it would happen somewhere else. just to, I don't know, throw us off. And if they shut down transportation, when you think about what's going on in Belgium, I mean, Belgium is a small country,

and they shut it down, and yes, it hurts that country for a little while, but the United States cannot shut down travel, not and survive, not survive very long. So, I mean, it will be ugly if they try to, to do that. No question. So just be on alert if you're in those cities. Now I read a Facebook post earlier this week. What to do if you fall into a conversation with someone about ISIS who doesn't believe in retaliation? And you said to yourself, what should I do? People believe how they believe and I don't know what I need to say to these people and what needs to happen. Okay, well, follow

these rules. What to do if you fall into a conversation with someone about ISIS? who doesn't believe in retaliation. Number one, engage in conversation and ask if military force is appropriate. When he says no, ask why not? Wait until he says something to the effect of because that would just cause more innocent deaths, which would be awful and we should not cause more violence. When he's in mid-sentence, punch him in the face as hard as you can. When he gets back up to punch you, point out that it would be a mistake,

and contrary to his values to strike you because that would be awful and he should not cause more violence. Wait until he agrees and has pledged not to commit additional violence. Punch him in the face again harder this time. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until he understands that sometimes it's necessary to punch back. I want you to know that I do not condone that act. And it is a little tongue-in-cheek,

and it's from, you know, a great Facebook post, so you know all those are true and actually happening in life. But I will say, it would make someone understand the situation.
