Our newest release, Run Hide Fight Infidels, is finally streaming. Radical jihadists will destroy our freedom, but only if we let them.

We're joined by Representative Elise Stefanic, who may be running for governor of New York again to the New York mayoral debate.

It's titled Lions and Scavengers. I started writing this book in a white heat at a specific time and place, outside London in November 2023, where I was preparing to do a series of debates at Oxford Union and Cambridge. I'd been thinking about the themes in the book for a long, long time. It all truly crystallized after October 7, 2023. Not because of the barbaric terrorism of the terrorist group Hamas, none of that was particularly surprising, but because of the response in the West. Where hundreds of thousands of born and bred Westerners took to the streets before Israel had even responded in order to rally to the side of terrorists who murdered babies in front of their parents, raped women, and kidnapped Holocaust survivors.
Something deeply wrong had happened in the West. And so I spent the course of the next year thinking and traveling and writing. This new book is a work of the heart and of the mind. I think it's my most important book. It's certainly my most passionate. Lions and Scavengers took shape as I traveled from Washington, D.C. to Oxford University, from the southern border of the United States with Mexico to the drug-infested areas of Kensington, Pennsylvania, from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Jerusalem, Israel. And the thesis of the book is really simple. Our civilization is now divided between lions. and scavengers, and we must decide between them. So now I want to read you just the very beginning of Lions and Scavengers.
Attention lies at the core of our being. It roils us, it churns our guts, it boils our brains. That tension lies between two opposing forces. Those forces beat within every man's breast. They fight for supremacy within every civilization. One must triumph and one must fall. The spirit of the lion, the spirit of the scavenger. I write these words in London, England. I write them in disappointment and horror and dismay. For London has been conquered by the scavengers. Just last weekend, London saw a massive river of protesters, hundreds of thousands strong marching, their banners unfurled, the banners of terrorist groups and of communists and of transgender activists gathered together to revolt against the civilization that has given them their rights and their prosperity and their power.
These marchers have gathered to protest in favor of the terror group Hamas. It has been just a few weeks since the slaughter of 1,200 Jews and kidnapping of 250 others on October 7, 2023, in the envelope surrounding the Gaza Strip. Members of Hamas and Palestinian civilians flooded into villages, a music festival, homes.
