Remembering a friend🙏: Muslim terrorists killed Glen Doherty on 9/11 just not 9/11 2001…9/11/2012 during the US consulate and CIA annex in Benghazi.
I learned Glen died while hidden under prayer rugs in the back of a mini bus headed into Cairo’s Tahrir Square to cover the attack on the US embassy there.
The Obama administration blamed the attacks on angry crowds upset over a “movie” about the prophet Muhammad — nothing could be further from the truth
About a week later, I interviewed a spiritual leader in the terror group — he admitted the attacks had nothing to do with the movie and nobody had even seen it — they just hated America.
What I am thinking💭: So tonight we’ll remember Glen. And we owe it to those who died on 9/11. And Americans who have died since protecting us not to lose moral clarity over what this battle is.
Two fronts‼️: America’s navy might be in a two-front battle on the high seas halfway around the world
The Houthis (an Iranian backed group) just shut down the gate of tears, aka the Bab el-Mandab Strait, that provides access to the Suez Canal and a key Saudi oil pipeline
Tonight📺: Vice Admiral Robert Harward on whether an already stretched American navy can keep both open.
Good vs Evil⚠️
🙏The only good thing to come out of 9/11 was a united America
United in our grief
United in our righteous anger
United in our belief we were good and fighting evil
United in our belief of American exceptionalism
United in our moral clarity
‼️Now many Americans and our politicians believe America itself is evil…
🚨 Tucker Carlson defended Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed all but saying America deserved 9/11
Here is El-Sayed’s statement about 9/11
‼️Note the moral equivalence — he wants us to believe civilian deaths on 9/11 are equally tragic to civilian deaths caused by Israel in Gaza or Lebanon — they are not.
🚨Or the mayor of New York saying we need to learn from Muhammad on immigration
Must read📰: “To Help Muslims, Reject Islamists” headlines a Wall Street Journal op-ed
To observe Muslim tolerance go see how many Christian and Jews live and worship freely in the entire Islamic world.
‼️Since 9/11 we have lost our moral clarity — we do so at our peril.
Go deeper: Much more about the threat of expansionist Islam in today’s First Dispatch - I made it free for everyone.
Look forward▶️: America learned how to confront the threat from Islamic terrorism and we became blind, deaf, numb and dumb to the threat at the ballot box from Islam.
Watch tonight📺: Corbin Trent and Vice Adm Robert Harward on how we have forgotten what 9/11 was really about.

Confronting America📺: Bill O’Reilly and I go head to head about his new book “Confronting America” this Sunday
📙Pre-order “Confronting America” here
Context!!
ICYMI‼️: Go back and watch my interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico.
Over and over progressive Democrats are forced to answer for the “crazy” of Woke 1 — tell reporters we need CONTEXT.
No we don’t — there is no context to six genders, calling capitalism racist, Christianity akin to Sharia law — the list goes on.
Trump playbook📑: Talarico repeatedly attacked the media during our interview
I thought attacking the press was a threat to democracy — it’s almost something Donald Trump would do.
Watch tonight📺: Mike Nellis and Evan Barker, a progressive and former progressive, on whether one can really ever find enough context
Be fair⚖️: JD Vance once called Trump a Nazi and is now his vice president — maybe what you said in the past doesn’t really matter anymore.
R.I.P. Glen and all those who perished in 9/11, and those who perished as a result of 9/11. Let them not die in vain, and let us carry their memories in our hearts forever. We must continue our fight against the evil that seeks to destroy the good in our world. Thank you for informing and carrying the standard for right vs wrong.
Look forward to your show tonight. RIP Glen Doherty. Re 9/11: on one level I’m happy and proud to see and hear the American spirit in comments and interviews. But on the other it’s not promising to see el-Sayed and Mamdami comments. Re Talarico: he’s a clever politician and skilled at morphing his positions and beliefs to appear moderate. His statements on capitalism were illuminating.
