The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program | Guest: Amb. Jamieson Greer | 10/15/26

Episode Date: October 15, 2026

A recent report accuses multiple banks of flagging words like “MAGA” and “America First,” alongside Christian organizations, pro-life groups, and firearms businesses, working alongside the Biden administration to target what they deemed “reputational risks.” Glenn warns that once this type of fascist behavior is accepted, it’s only a matter of time until everybody is put on a list for one reason or another. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer joins to discuss whether President Trump’s tariffs and trade deals are working for everyday Americans. Iran just executed a young woman for insulting the prophet under Sharia law, proving that Sharia law cannot coexist with free speech and equal rights.  Learn more about your ad choices.

All right, you are, you're in for an interesting broadcast today, especially if you listen to the whole thing, but we're giving you the highlights here. I start with the banks and the government. And to say that I was a little passionate about it might be somewhat of an understatement. Because if you don't know what our government has been doing behind your back with our banks, you're about to find out. And we have got to get this to stop. Also, Ambassador Jameson Greer joins us. He's talking about the things that are happening in manufacturing here in America. And Sharia and the West.

I'm so sick and tired of people who say, oh, Sharia law is not a problem. It's not a problem. What? What's the problem with that? They can coexist with us? Can they? Can they?

Wait until you hear this one. All on today's podcast. You're listening to. The Best of the Glenn Beck program. All right, a federal regulator has finished going through roughly 100,000 complaints and 50,000 bank records from the nine biggest banks in America. This is going to enrage you. The question was simple.

Did any bank shut Americans out of their banking out of the financial services because of what they believed? The answer, in the United States, of America is yes. According to the review, J.P. Morgan Chase flagged words like MAGA and America first. America first. If you have money in J.P. Morgan Chase, pull it out today. They flagged America First and MAGA. Other banks targeted Christian organizations and pro-life groups, firearm businesses, legal businesses run by law-abiding citizens,

and the reason given again and again was reputational risk. Now, where did we hear that? Where have we heard the word reputational risk? Oh, I know. in that grand conspiracy book called The Great Reset, something that we wrote and put out, I don't know, 2020, put the book Great Reset out, we told you that the banks had come up with this new way,

along with the government, to control you. And they would use the words, reputational risk. It was a reputational risk for the bank. We can't have you, because, you know, you might be boycotted, you might be doing some things, and then that hurts us as a bank and our image, so we can no longer have you as a client. And they all denied it. And everybody said it was a conspiracy theory.

And I told you at the time, it is not a conspiracy theory. They are doing this. Reputational risk. And that pressure came from the regulators in our government that watch over the banks. Senator Chuck Grassley has released documents showing that Jack Smith's team. Jack Smith should be in prison. Jack Smith's team while investigating Donald Trump collected personal data on more than 639,000 Republican voters and donors. Did you hear that, America?

I don't care if you hate Donald Trump. if you allow this to stand, do you not think the Republicans will use it? Do you not think the independents will use it? Do you not think the Marxists will use it? Do you not think every person that just craves power will use this? He collected names, home addresses, birth dates, where you work. In some cases, your credit card information. one of those spreadsheets was built around a single question.

You ready for this? Our government tracked you if you bought a red MAGA hat after the 2020 election. If you bought a MAGA hat, our government, the United States of America, tracked you. If you bought a MAGA hat, the federal government, collected your name and put it on a list This comes on top of what Grassley has already shown us.

Nearly 5,000 donor records, some of them checks for $5. You were on an enemy's list. Phone records, text messages from dozens of members of Congress. Communication involving 50 journalists. Now let me ask you, where are the journalists today? Every single journalist should be as enraged as I am right now. Every single person at CBS, ABC, NBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post, every single journalist. The village voice should be outraged by this.

They were gathering information on journalists. Do you care? A $5 check, a baseball cap, and they collected your name. The bank said they didn't close accounts for political reasons. They say they were just following the risk rules that Washington wrote and Washington enforced. Exactly what I told you was happening in our book. Exactly. And they said and they said what?

That's a conspiracy theory. You're a danger if you even say that. Oh, so I would go on a risk list? Now, Jack Smith's defenders is going to say a prosecutor follows the money, and when you subpoena a vendor, records come back in bulk. You don't get to pick which rose show up on a spreadsheet. Fine, fine. Tell me, why were you asking vendors who sold hats for their records? What does a hat have to do with any kind of crime? Nothing. A $5 check is not evidence. A baseball can. is not a conspiracy. What kind of country do you want to live in?

And that hat spreadsheet, by the way, was not a random pile of receipts that happened to wash in with a tide. It was organized around a purchase. Somebody decided that being a certain kind of American was in itself, by itself, worth writing down. And once your name is written down, you don't know who gets to read it, how long they keep it, what they do with it next. You have no idea what our government has now connected you to. I want you to picture a small town. I want you to picture a sheriff that keeps a notebook of everyone who put a certain bumper sticker on their truck. Down the street, the bank manager decides who gets a checking account?

And he checks with the town regulator first, because the regulator. first because the regulator can make his life miserable. Do I open this account for these people? Well, they have the bumper sticker on the back if you want to take that reputational risk. But just know, we might enforce this at any time. Yeah, I'm sorry, Mr. Smith. I can't give you a checking account. Nobody's been arrested.

Nobody's been, nobody's been accused, nobody's been charged. You just slowly discover that your card gets declined, that your business can't get alone, that your church can't process donations, and your name is sitting in the file of a courthouse, and you have no idea what's happening in your life. Now, if you read this story about any other country, you would not need me to tell you what kind of country that was. This apparently is how it works in America. this was by design Read the Great Reset Don't talk to me about fascism Don't you dare

Not a single journalist should ever talk to me about fascism or conspiracy theories or anything else Until you stand up and report this With every ounce of your being And scream at the top of your lungs This is fascism Fascism doesn't come with tanks all the time You see that?

It comes with compliance departments. You don't have to build a camp if you can just isolate people quietly. Why build a camp when you can just remove your ability to buy or to sell or to save or to give or to hire? In a modern economy, if you can't bank, you can't buy food. If you can't buy food, you can't live.

And if the government can't legally punish you for what you believe and it starts to lean on the people who hold your money until they do it for the government, what's the difference? Honestly, I'd rather have them build camps. At least we'd know. The First Amendment says Congress shall make no law. It never imagined a regulator's phone call. It never imagined a risk memo. It never imagined a spreadsheet of 600 plus thousand people who gave money or bought a baseball hat. And I don't care whose side did this. And I mean that.

If a Republican Justice Department pulled the names of every American who bought a Black Lives Matters t-shirt or gave $20 to plan parenthood or put a rainbow flag on their porch, I'd be saying this at this microphone, exactly the same thing, exactly the same way. should hold me to it. Because this list does not care who's in power. This list only cares that there's a list. Every tool

built to punish our enemies gets handed sooner or later to the people to the people who think you are the enemy. And I'm not talking to you as a conservative. I am talking to every single

American within the sound my voice. You will be deemed an enemy, whether it's from the right or the left or the center, the religious, the atheist, it doesn't matter. The machine that flagged America First yesterday will flag any word tomorrow. All it needs is a list of words. This must end. And it must not end with another stupid hearing. I have had it up to hear with the hearings. This must not end with a report. I've got stacks of reports.

This cannot end with a senator waving a spreadsheet on cable news. This must end with people going to prison. Every single person involved in this must go to prison because right now every banker, every regulator, every prosecutor, every agent in Washington has learned exactly the same lesson. Well, we can do this. And the worst thing that happens is we get a bad week of headlines. And then I can go write a book.

And then I can get a job at a law firm. If the price of abusing power is a bad week, power is going to be abused every week. by bad people on all sides. Prosecutors in Washington have already subpoenaed the banks. The regulator has said it will refer violations to the Attorney General. Good. Finish it. If a bank executive broke the law,

charge him and put his ass in prison until it rots. Leave his bones in the cell. If a regulator leaned on a bank to punish law-abiding citizens, charge him or her. Put them in prison. If anyone in that special counsel's office violated the privacy of hundreds of thousands of Americans with no connections to any crime whatsoever, charge them, try them, and put their ass in prison. But for as angry as I'm M, do it the right way. Do it in a courtroom. Do it with evidence in front of a jury. You know, they're talking about having a public execution. I don't want a public execution. We're not animals.

What I want is all of this on cable news on the internet. I want it everywhere. I want a jury trial of these people with a defense attorney, not a list, not a witch hunt. I want a trial. I want a fair trial. And if they're found guilty, I want their ass in prison. This is the entire difference between justice and revenge. they can put you on a list without telling you.

But I want them in front of a judge, and I want everyone to hear it. If we answer their spreadsheet with our own spreadsheet, then we have ended the Republic. Because all we're doing is taking our turn. And to the people on the other side who are quiet, because it was only a hat buyer. It was a pro-life group. It was a gun shop. what you tolerate when it happens to somebody else,

you have already approved for yourself. Your cause will be unpopular with somebody in power someday. Trust me. And if we don't stop this now, monsters will be ruling over us with unbelievable power. And you will say, what happened, when did this happen? Right now it's happening.

And they will have power over your church, your charity, your small business, your $5 check, your satanic temple. And when that day comes, the only thing standing between you and the list will be whether we punish the last people who kept one. You call your senators, you call your congressman, you call it, you write to every person in the press and say,

why are you not leading with this? You ask them, who's being charged? And don't accept a press release from your politics. demand an answer and ask again next week and next month and the month after that. A free country is not a country where a government never does anything wrong. Every government does wrong. A free country is one where when it does do something wrong, somebody has to answer for it. America, you are about to find out which kind of country we are.

God help me. I fear I know what kind of country we are. Let me tell you about American financing. American financing is not a bank. I'm just sitting here thinking, how, how, I don't talk about any of these banks. They're not a bank, but they have to work with banks. Everybody has to work with banks. I got to tell you, these banks, we got a clean house on these banks. From Jeffrey Epstein all the way to this, these banks need to be fumigated. This is the best of the Lenbeck program.

I want to get into some of the positive things. But first, let me ask you a couple of things that are right in the news today.

Trump just said on true social, mineral and fossil fuel exploration is starting up in Greenland. Was that part of the deal? Well, one of the great elements of the deal, Glenn, is that we made a deal with Greenland and with Denmark that any kind of exploration of the natural resources, whether it be the fossil fuels, critical minerals, etc., that we essentially would have a say in this and have a veto on it and have the opportunity. This is to make sure that these critical resources stay in the hands of the United States and the West, right? Because everyone knows there's a land grab out there in the world right now.

You have the Chinese going all over the world trying to get natural resources and, President Trump, he's trying to plan for 10, 20, 50 years out. He wants another American century, and that means we need to control the resources right on our continent. So what does this mean they're exploring for them? Do we get a share of them? Do we get them at a cost like we did with Venezuela? I mean, the deals he's making, I think people are dismissing and they shouldn't. What does this mean for the minerals and if they find fossil fuels up there?

What does it mean to us? Yeah, I mean, remember, with exploration, that means initial stage, right? So I don't think the final docs with profit share and production sharing have been drawn up. But first of all, we get national security out of this. I think, as you know, there can be energy crunches from time to time, right? Their critical minerals get cut off by the Chinese. So having a secure access to these types of resources, you know, right on our frontier is really critical. and then, of course, the economic terms we expect will be beneficial for America, beneficial for Greenland, and everyone involved.

Let me turn into Russia here for a second. Trump has been going hard on the diesel refineries that are being blown up in Ukraine. And I would be really upset with Ukraine on this. This has got to stop. It's hurting the entire globe. But then he went after and he said, look, We need diesel exports from Russia, but we were trying to cut everybody off of Russian fuel. Can you explain his thinking on this, on how that works?

He's getting hammered everywhere. Yeah, I mean, the reality is, you know, change circumstances require you to change your position from time to time. You know, what does not change is the overall policy that we expect this war to end, that we expect the killing to stop, that President Trump is seeking peace for a war that never would have happened if he were in office, right? We know that. So that continues to be the policy. It's unchanged. Everyone in Congress agrees, war needs to end. With respect to diesel supply, you know, in the U.S., we have refineries. We have refineries that closed in California, that limited supply.

You know, we have the Europeans who refuse to, you know, develop their own fossil fuels and refineries in the degree they need to. And so you end up having supply when you have the Ukrainians blowing up refineries in Russia. So there's a, there's a global supply crush, and that leads to higher prices, right? That's just how it happens. And so if the president's going to make adjustments now and then so that Americans don't have to bear the cost of a European war, then that's what he'll do. I talked to a global leader recently in a private conversation, and I asked him about the cutting off, you know, of all the resources outside of Iran, all of the resources outside of Iran,

of these banks and everybody else that has been playing, you know, under the table with Iran. And he said if the Trump administration really holds everyone's feet to the fire, he said, this is really going to affect Iran. And he said, I think the war will be over, you know, in a short order if they do it. I know they're trying to. Is everybody complying with when it comes to Iran? So the short answer is yes, right? And this is Secretary Best at Treasury, who has the steering wheel on this.

But he's been quite aggressive on his economic operation against Iran, first hitting Iran and now hitting the facilitators of Iranian funding in countries all over the world, right? And so when you do this, you know, it cuts them off from the global financial system. It cuts them off from the U.S. dollar, and it chills transactions with other parties, right? So if you have a U.S. company or U.S. bank or European bank and they see some third party get hit with sanctions, they have these giant compliance departments that shut down everything immediately. So whenever you see this, it has second and third order effects that really cut these entities off. And I agree with you.

The more we escalate on Iran economically, the more likely we are to end this war. And obviously, we want, you know, the Europeans and everybody else to come along with us. seeing this that that you know these trade deals and everything are really kind of in your purview and especially some of these things like we just announced japan and u.s just announced 21 billion dollar semiconductor project in new york it's got to be frustrating that nobody understands because i don't think people do they think oh you know my price of eggs you know has gone down but you know my price of gas has gone up or whatever and people are feeling the pain but I don't think there's a good storyteller out there telling the story of what the president is actually doing.

It's going to take, as you said, he is looking at the next 10, 20, 50 years down the road. These plants that are planned and now starting to open up for U.S. manufacturing with jobs, this is significant. Can you give the audience any kind of clue on how significant this is and when they will start to see these things actually come online? Well, I think you've hit the nail on the head. You know, today I'm in Utah, and tomorrow I'm going to go visit an $11 billion investment by Texas Instruments in Lehigh, Utah to build semiconductors right here in Utah. Think back to the pandemic.

People may or may not remember this. For a time, we couldn't get new cars. We couldn't buy new cars. And the cost of new cars went up. And, of course, youth car prices went up. Youth car prices went up. Youth car prices have gone down under President Trump. But part of this is because we couldn't get semiconductors from Asia during the pandemic.

And so we're reshoring all of this. We're getting, you know, American companies to do more. We're getting foreign companies who make this stuff to come and build here. And it's increasing jobs. We have, Glenn, we have 72,000 new manufacturing jobs just this year. The last two years of Biden, we've lost 220,000 manufacturing jobs. I mean, this is the key. We're getting the jobs back.

Manufacturing wages are up by $2,500. So those are the things that. We need to people, you know, we want people to understand because we get it, right? We get the energy prices. We understand, you know, we're, there's a reason they call it midterms. We're only halfway through. We're not done. We saw work to do.

But a lot of that is coming online. The concrete's being poured. The superstructures are going up and manufacturing jobs are up. That's just data. When will we see, when do you think that you just, it'll just be unavoidable that you'll be able to go, oh my gosh, look at all the fact. Because I had dinner with the ambassador. from Taiwan. He's not even an ambassador because we don't recognize it as a country, but whatever,

the delegation from Taiwan. I was having dinner with him and we were talking about semiconductors and I said, you guys build the best of the best. And I said, you know, I'm very concerned, you know, of China. And he said, well, we've just made a deal. We're going to start building them in, I think he said Arizona and Texas. I can't remember. And they've already opened up some of these plans, Arizona. Yeah, and he said, we've already opened up some of these plants there. We're going to make the best superconductors in the world in America, but it's going to take us time. And you don't read about that. But to his, well, you know why you don't read about it because it's good news. And also remember, if you go to a place like Texas where there's a semiconductor cluster or upstate New York,

a semiconductor cluster, you know, and again, these are red districts. So that's where a lot of this is going. Why? I can do everything on my end. The president can do everything on his end to make trade fair again, to incentivize production here. But it's also up to states. So when I hear people from, you know, Chicago, Illinois, you know, the coast complaining about some of these things, I think I can't fix your local policies. I can't fix your anti-business regulations. I can't fix your high corporate state taxes and things like that. I mean, I can do what I can. And that's why we see the manufacturing coming back to places like Georgia and South Carolina and Indiana. in Texas because they're business friendly.

We are on with Ambassador Jameson Greer. He is the U.S. trade representative. I want to ask you about two countries. Canada. How are things going with Canada? Well, I mean, listen, it's a country of 40 million people to our northern border. Back in the 60s, you know, we were selling all our cars up there, the Big Three, and they said, we want to make cars here too.

And we're not going to let you sell cars in Canada unless you build factories here. And so the Big Three did that. And so from the get-go, Canada did a very Trumpian thing. If you want to sell in Canada, you have to make here. They've had a really good deal with America for decades. They've sold duty-free here into the United States. That's what they've done. President Trump, as you know, he's changing his trade relations with all of our trading partners.

We have a $60 billion trade deficit with Canada when he came in. It's down to $45 billion. He's trying to balance everything out. He's trying to manufacture here jobs that could be in other countries, whether it's Canada or Mexico or China, wherever. He wants them here. And so we've had talks to the Canadians. We don't agree on the terms of a potential deal.

That's really all it comes down to. You know, we're going to have some level of tariffs and they don't want it. Here's what I'm really concerned about is they seemed hell-bent on turning to China. We can't have, we cannot have them as a proxy for China. And the things that they asked for in the trade deal where they could reflag their, the Chinese products, that would be sent in to Canada is just unacceptable. Have we made any, you know, inroads on that? I mean, this is a core issue, Glenn.

I'm glad you raised it. You know, a lot of times, if you look at Canadian media over the past year and a half, a lot of their officials, federal and provincial, they were saying things like we need to build fortress, North America, et cetera. I mean, our view is, you know, we're not a fortress, right? We're just trying to, you know, get manufacturing and manufacturing jobs for our people. But I said, fine.

And then if we're going to protect our borders from dumped steel and aluminum and all these things and give you a pass, then you need to do it too, right? You also have to put tariffs up. If you look at Mexico, they've been putting tariffs up on China and others. Canada right now is interested in doing that necessarily. And to your point, they've given the Chinese car manufacturers a quota. They're going to import cars from China. They've talked about having investment in cars from China.

We're obviously not going to accept that. We don't sell Chinese cars in America. So their economic program, which they're entitled to have is, you know, a country, it has a lot of inconsistency with what President Trump is trying to do. And so until those inconsistencies are adequately resolved, you know, I think we'll just be where we are. But remember, our growth rate annually is higher than Canada's. You know, they have 6.5% unemployment. We're at, you know, about 4.1%, which is, you know, full employment, according to the Fed.

So President Trump's economy is doing well. We're in manufacturing expansion. And listen, people wanted us to do things like Canada. They joined the Trans-Pacific Partnership years ago to open their markets to Asia, and look where it is, right? We didn't do that. You know, they want to be globalist with the EU. We're against that. We want to have more manufacturing here.

We want to reverse the negative things that happened with NAFTA or things that could have happened with TPP. So as long as their trade policy is different, then it's going to be hard to have a completely open relationship with them. Ambassador, can you explain? I don't think people really understand how much trouble Europe is in. I mean, Volkswagen just took two of their plants, shut them down, and then lease them out or sold them. I don't remember which. To China.

That's never happened before. Europe is losing its ability to make anything. While we're trying to get back on that bandwagon, they don't seem to be interested in this. What happens when a country just starts doing what? Europe is doing. Well, they lose hard power, right? People talk about soft power and the rules-based international order and going around and working things out through negotiation. And that's one thing within the boundaries of the United States, where we have the Constitution, we have a robust

legal system, et cetera. But in the international world, I mean, it's the real world, right? And it's a power play. And if you don't have hard power, which means manufacturing, then you don't have soft power either, right? No one's going to listen to you if you don't have, you know, what you need. As I think Napoleon said, how many popes, how many legions does the Pope have, right? It's a little bit that story. And so they are slow to take action. Ten years ago, President Trump started putting tariffs on the Chinese, on Chinese vehicles, and the Europeans didn't do it. Here we are, 10 years later, and they're still very slow to do it. So I think they should take action to produce their economy. It's not about being anti-any country. It's about protecting their own culture,

their own industries, and being strong. Yeah. Ambassador, thank you so much. I'd love to have you back because I'd like to know, why are we so quiet on Mexico? I know there's things going on, but, boy, I would have thought we would have been all over Mexico. We've changed, I think, this Western Hemisphere, and next time you're on, maybe we can just talk about Mexico. I really appreciate everything that you're doing, and thank you for coming on, Ambassador. I appreciate it. Thank you. Happy to do it. You bet. Ambassador Jameson Greer, U.S. Trade Representative.

Nadal Hassan, former U.S. major turned traitor, very bad and evil man, killed 13 people, including a pregnant soldier who died, along with her unborn son, injured very seriously 32 more innocent people. With all of that being said, I think streaming the execution for all might have been a strong deterrent for the world to witness on how America deals with terrorists and scum like Hassan, but many very good and well-meaning people would rather not watch him die through streaming. or at least any other visual device. He will die as scheduled by firing squad, but this event will not be streamed. That said, the execution may be viewed in person by the immediate families of the victims if they so choose.

They deserve to witness justice. Thank you for your attention, President Donald J. Trump. I am really glad to hear this. I think because of history, you know, this has happened before. It happened in Kentucky. and that's why we really got away from this. I think it was back in the 1930s.

There was an execution that was going on. And it was a woman, the first woman to ever pull the trap door. She was the sheriff or the sheriff appointed her. I can't remember the exact story. But she was going to be the first woman. And that attracted all the press. And then people started coming because they wanted to see a woman do the execution. It was weird.

And it became, I mean, people mobbed the body at the end to get the hood. off of the dead body and then cut it up and then we're selling it. And since then we've gone, no more, no more. People are bad. People are bad sometimes. And now that we have TikTok, that kind of stuff would happen everywhere. And, you know, I'm glad. I think the president made the right choice.

Now, with that being said, here's the deterrent you want, Mr. President. Please. Please. during the war on ISIS Kurdish women who fought them reported that ISIS fighters were terrified at dying at a woman's hand because it will cost them paradise

make it an all-female firing squad. Please. That will cost them the 72 virgins. Hassan wanted to die a hero in front of the whole world. let him die in the quiet room at the hands of American women soldiers. No cameras, no paradise.

That one short statement, just the picture of the all-female firing squad, will go through the Muslim world like crazy. Do that. Please, Mr. President, don't just kill him. Have women kill him. We have to understand who we're fighting against. okay now there's a young accounting student anybody who says oh well this is you know they want sharia law it's not so bad so what he wants sharia law you have to understand who these people are young accounting student

in iran has just been sentenced to death oh i don't think i can't tell you which one is the worst one is it israel or is it iran a young accounting student a female sent a to death. She's in her early 20s. Why? Because last January, when shopkeepers and merchants cross around shut their doors and poured into the street, security forces grabbed her in a bazaar.

Rights groups say they beat her during the arrest. Then they put her into solitary confinement for about three months, pressed her for a confession, and denied her the lawyer of her choosing. In August, the Revolutionary Court gave her 12

and a half years for acting against national security. Did she kill pregnant people? No. No. Was she acting violent? No. She was taking to the streets and protesting. And they're going to execute her. Now, according to the Guardian, the state wants her life. The charge is, you ready? Here's what she did. Here's what she did. She insulted the prophet. She insulted the prophet. So they're going to execute her. We're going to execute somebody who injured 32 and killed 13, including a pregnant woman, in the name of his prophet. So she didn't murder.

There's no theft, no violence, words. And by the way, this is not a rogue judge. Iran's penal code says it plainly. Anyone who insults the prophet of Islam shall be sentenced to death. The court didn't break the law. The court is following the law. This is what Sharia law looks like when it holds the gavel gang. You know, there's a crowd in America and Europe and professors and politicians who some genuinely kind people, I'm sure, will tell you this is no concern of ours.

And if people want to have Sharia law, they can have Sharia law. Sharia law is not another legal tradition. They can't live on their side with ours. Let communities govern themselves. Who are we to judge? I don't know. I think we can judge when somebody is killing somebody for words. Sharia for millions of Muslims is mostly personal. How you pray, what you eat, how you fast, how you give to the poor. A Muslim family in Dearborn or Boise living by those rules in their own homes is not a threat. That's religious liberty. And I'll defend it as hard as I defend my own religious liberty.

the Jew that keeps kosher, the Latter-day Saints that skip the coffee, the Muslim that skips the pork, God bless everybody. But the minute you take your Sharia law out and say, no, you cannot have coffee. We're banning all coffee. And anybody who has coffee, that's a Latter-day Saint that I am dead set against. And every Muslim should be dead set against anybody who goes into a, butcher shop and says, you cannot have pork in here. No, I'm sorry, you're in the United States of

America. Get your ass over to Saudi Arabia if that's what you want. So the line is not a prayer rug. The line is prison. What is the consequence of not living the religion the way you say? The moment a religious rule is enforced by the state or by a mob that think it's doing the state's work, it stops being your faith and starts being my master. That's why Sharia law cannot exist in the Western world. You know, that's where living side by side falls apart. Think about how it would actually work. Our system may say, you know, you can criticize any idea, any politician, any prophet, any God, you can do it. I don't like it, but you can do it. That system says, insulting the prophet is a capital crime.

So you can call my God, you can call Jesus, anything you want. You can do whatever you want. But if I say, you know, Mohammed is not a prophet, I die because that's an insult. That's not two neighbors with a different, you know, taste in paint for the front door. One of them claims the right to kill the other and kill the other's children. for talking. You don't split that difference. I mean, honestly, let's think of it.

Can we use critical thinking? What does a compromise look like here? A little blasphemy? Prison, but not a rope? Free speech on the north side of the street only? What does it look like? A law that claims to speak for God will not accept to being one line item on a menu.

If it's God's law, then our law. is rebellion. And that's exactly how Sharia courts read it. You know, and those laws don't stay home. You know, I don't know if anybody who even remembers Salman Rushdie, the satanic verses.

He lost an eye on a stage in Western New York. Decades after the Iran Supreme Leader ordered him killed for a novel he wrote. The sentence was passed in Tehran, but his eye came out and the knife came out in New York.

But right now we're experiencing the quieter version. The publisher passes on that book. I don't want any trouble. The museum that takes down the painting, the teacher who skips the lesson. The cartoonist who puts down the pen. Nobody passed a blasphemy law because no one had to. The legislating is all done. through fear. See, this is how free people lose freedom. You lose freedom without ever voting on it.

So let's ask who this girl is in Iran. She's not a Western critic taking shots from a safe distance. She's an Iranian daughter. She knew what she was getting herself into. I don't know, which is more of a threat. Israel or Iran. I just don't know. You're so intellectually dishonest. The people most crushed by these laws are Muslims. They're women, their dissidents, their converts. The young man who asks one too many questions. Well, I just, I just, I want to be kind to Muslims. You're not being kind.

By saying Sharia law is fine, you're not being kind to Muslims. You're siding with the jailer against the prisoner. The bravest people in Iran are not asking us to respect their government's culture. They're begging us to see that culture. We don't have half the courage as these people in Iran. Going out in the streets knowing exactly what can happen to them. Here, the minute you, the minute the police come out, I've got rights, I have rights. You have no rights in Iran.

You have no rights with Sharia law. You have no rights. But our protesters are so brave. They're so brave. I have rights, you know. I'm going to call my attorney. Where's my phone call? She didn't get one.

They don't flinch. They don't flinch. Why do we flinch when it all is required of us is to speak out and support them? There's no Sharia law here. We can say this is wrong. We can say her execution is wrong. We can say if you stand with Sharia law, you're wrong. We can say that here.

And there's no repercussion. and yet we're afraid to say something. You know, tolerance is a very beautiful word. It really is tolerance. It means I protect your right to believe something I think is wrong. That doesn't mean I hand the power to anyone to punish me for saying so. The first is liberty. I support your right to say things I think are wrong.

that's liberty by not saying something about it. That's surrender with good manners. The West works because of one agreement. We argue about God with words, not with guns or swords. You may believe my faith is false. I may believe yours is false, but we both go home alive. that agreement is not one culture's little quirk. That's the only ground where every faith can stand at the same time.

That is not a quirk. That is everything we have. That is the only floor. And everyone can stand on that floor. The Muslim, the Christian, the Jew, the atheist. Same law. Same courts. Same right to speak.

same right to be wrong as loud as you possibly can be. But the moment you build a second floor with its own judges and its own punishments, you haven't created diversity. You've built a cage and told the people inside, they chose it. And let's look at that cage who gets trapped in there first. The wife who wants a divorce. The daughter who wants to marry outside the faith. the son who stops believing,

the nine-year-old that doesn't think they should be married to a 50-year-old. It's the people with the least power in the room. They pay for everyone else's open-mindedness. So for anybody who says that, you know, Sharia law is not something to be concerned about. Sharia law can live side by side in the West. Answer this simple question. What happens to the young girl who's now faithful? the death penalty for insulting the prophet.

What happens to her in your system where you've said they can have that law in their town if they wanted? What happens to her? If your answer is, well, that's Iran, that's not us. Then you've already admitted the problem is the law, Sharia law, and not the address. If your answer is she should be free, then welcome. You don't believe in side by side. You don't believe Sharia law. You believe in one law for all of us.

You believe in the First Amendment. That's America. And if you can't answer, how sad because she doesn't have a lot of time to wait while you think it over. We call ourselves America for a reason. People look to us for a reason. Used to be our courage. Look at her courage. Where's ours?
