STEVE DEACE (HOST): You're saying completely ignore that we have the exact same enemies who did this to us on September 11, just like they did to them on October 7, and let the whole thing go because it doesn't line up with my theology and eschatology. You are also urging the US to engage your theology and eschatology over its own national interests. Exactly what you're accusing dispensationalists of doing. Because here's the truth - it's not even required to even wade into the replacement versus dispensational debate -- Steve, what is that? That's a whole show, OK, frankly, all right, that we will maybe touch on in the future. And, by the way, there are renowned leaders in the history of Christianity who have vehemently disagreed on this question.
All right, so -- you don't even have to wade into that debate to stand with Israel here, because, like I just said, the same savages that did this to them on October 7 are the same ones that did this to us on September 11 and for the exact same reason. It's the same impulse. It's the same worldview. So, it's not Zionism, it's not Judaism, it's not some vestige of Christian theology that you think largely got made up by some British dude named John Nelson Darby 160 years ago. And there might even be some truth to that, but that's another -- again, that's another topic, all right?
That is not prompting what occurred on October 7 nor on September 11. It is the worldview inspired by a not-insignificant segment of Islam that has this at its roots, at the very history of the religion itself. That's what inspired it. There has never been a time the descendants of Ishmael have not sought to wage war against the descendants of Isaac. That is historical fact.
Muhammad himself spent the last 20 years of his life in warfare daily. You don't need to take a theological leap to acknowledge any of these things, they're facts of history. That's why, folks, if Hamas were to lay down its arms tomorrow, Jew, Christian, Muslim alike, more people would live. If Israel were to lay down its arms tomorrow, Jew, Christian, Muslim alike, more people would die. That impulse would not go away by Israel laying down its arms. They would just act on the impulse even more savagely, because there's no check and balance against it now. So, you can make all the theological attempts you want to separate Christianity from Judaism, which I find fascinating since God himself entered into history as a Jew, but YOLO, OK? You can keep doing that all you want, or to separate Christianity from Zionism all you want. But here's the thing you need to understand - Islam will not permit this nuance of you. It will not accept it.
...
You can scream out loud all you want, Christians have, and Muslims have much in common. Christians and Muslims worship the same God. I would urge you, though, to go to no city in Jordan, the most modernized, Muslim-dominated culture in the world, and say that out loud in any densely populated area because I'm pro-life and I want you to live. You won't. You won't if you do that.
...
You are asserting something the savages will find pointless, and they will point their swords at your throat and slit them nevertheless. You don't even have to decide which of these theological camps you are in to determine, oh, we're -- The Koran calls both of us the people of the book. We're both the enemies. The Koran, it wages war against the both of us just the same, regardless of your theological attempts at nuance. Islam will not accept your nuance. It will laugh at you, and then it will smite you at the neck.
