Summary
The Left supports Islam because they see it as a religion that faces unfair treatment. Some on the Right, including Tucker Carlson, are now trying to gain favor with Islam for very different reasons. But here is the thing, as strange as it may seem, what could the Far Left and parts of the so-called America First Right really have in common with Islam? And is there an important question they have overlooked before trying to connect with Islam?

| 0:00.0 | Somebody is going to have to help me understand what's been going on. |
| 0:05.0 | I mean, when you see signs like queers for Palestine, the obvious responses to go, |
| 0:10.0 | you know, you know what they do to queers like in Palestine, right? |
| 0:14.0 | But there has been this strange infatuation between the far left with a bunch of social values that Islam hates and |
| 0:22.1 | Islam. |
| 0:23.1 | Like, despite all of that, they will go out of their way to defend people that represent |
| 0:28.1 | a worldview that would literally throw them off buildings if they took power. |
| 0:32.8 | And the left seems to think that, no, that perfectly makes sense. |
| 0:37.1 | Then you have elements on the right now to include elements, no, that perfectly makes sense. Then you have elements on the |
| 0:38.4 | right now to include elements that claim to be very strong Christians who now find themselves |
| 0:42.9 | apparently constantly making excuses for Islamic regimes, at the very least defending them to |

| 1:13.0 | And we're going to talk about what that logic is, how it's being used, and why I think |
| 1:18.0 | eventually it's going to bite both of them if they're not really careful. Coming up on today's |
| 1:22.5 | episode of making the argument. All right, let's jump in first with the left, kind of left infatuation with Islam right now. Because again, I think it's the argument. All right, let's jump in first with the left, kind of left infatuation with |
| 1:29.9 | Islam right now because, again, I think it's the one that confuses the most people. And again, |
| 1:33.4 | you hear this all the time, right? It's the same argument every single time. Oh, my gosh, |
| 1:37.0 | why is it that the same liberals, the same liberals that, you know, always talking about women's |
| 1:43.0 | issues and LGBTQ issues, |
| 1:44.8 | why would they be citing with Islamists in the United States who clearly hate them? |
