Brigitte Gabriel, president of Act for America and author of They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It, spoke with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Raheem Kassam regarding her Breitbart News piece on 9/11 and President Trump’s failure to mention “radical Islamic terrorism” in his speech Monday. Citing the speech, Gabriel said, “Yesterday, it was obvious that something has happened in the Trump presidency that has changed and changed dramatically. When I listened to the speeches yesterday – like you mentioned – by all the leaders in the administration – by Trump,...

"...While they carried on their endless discussion of the completely tangential list of exactly which countries citizens had their nonexistent “right” to enter the United States curtailed, the administration continued to pursue its clearly defined purpose. That purpose is to focus the full resources of the federal government on the only ideology that threatens the republic at this time." From Reuters: The Trump administration wants to revamp and rename a U.S. government program designed to counter all violent ideologies so that it focuses solely on Islamist extremism, five people briefed on the matter told Reuters. The program, “Countering Violent Extremism,”...

President Trump will reportedly make good on one of his major critiques of the Obama administration by refocusing the program “Countering Violent Extremism” to concentrate on radical Islam. Citing “five people briefed on the matter,” Reuters news agency reported Wednesday that the “CVE” program would be changed to “Countering Islamic Extremism” or “Countering Radical Islamic Extremism.” The program would no longer have as a priority target groups such as white supremacists, Reuters reported. Mr. Trump, and many other Republicans, frequently attacked the program as a politically-correct whitewash growing out of the Obama administration’s refusal to use any form of the...

Donald Trump delivered a strong speech Monday on thwarting terrorists and crushing ISIS while cleverly disguising it as an address on national security policy. For once in recent days, Trump didn't get too clever. He lashed out at President Obama and Hillary Clinton for allowing Iraq to become fertile soil for the creation of ISIS. He didn't claim they had "founded" ISIS—that was Trump's position last week—only that their policies had allowed the terrorist group to flourish. So the speech marked a sorely needed improvement in Trump's credibility. By failing to reach a status of forces agreement with the Iraqi...

Donald Trump said he would test would-be immigrants for anti-Semitic beliefs and that Israel would be a key ally in defeating radical Islam. Speaking Monday in Youngstown, Ohio, the Republican presidential nominee outlined national security policies that included “extreme vetting” for would-be immigrants, including for those who would reject what he described as American values of tolerance. “We should only admit into this country those who share our values and respect our people,” Trump said. […] The Anti-Defamation League immediately took to Twitter to express concerns about Trump’s reiterated call to ban Muslim entry and entry from countries subject to...

Donald Trump delivered a major foreign policy speech Monday in Youngstown, Ohio, entitled “Understanding The Threat: Radical Islam And The Age Of Terror.” He lashed out strongly against the Obama-Clinton foreign policies that have led to turmoil in the Middle East, unleashed ISIS and allowed Iran to enhance its power in the region and globally. However, rather than dwell on the mistakes of the past, Trump also outlined his own forceful approach to defeating radical Islamic terrorist organizations once and for all, which includes, but is not limited to, just ISIS alone. “We cannot let this evil continue,” Trump declared....

...Candidate Donald Trump’s specific speech today was a rebuke to the 2009 speech of President Obama made in Cairo Egypt. Don’t let the media ignoring that aspect fall silently past you, it’s critical... The 2009 Cairo Speech by President Obama, his “Mid-east Obama Doctrine”, was the detonation tool, the exact epicenter, for the explosion that created the “Arab Spring”. Go back and refresh your memory if needed. It was a specific moment in time. It was a specifically worded ideological speech, and it held specific goals and intentions. The media will now go into overdrive to protect President Obama from...

Donald Trump has been very outspoken about Muslims in recent months, causing many to suggest that his words have been only a ploy to gain more votes for the Republican presidential nomination. However, a video has just resurfaced showing the GOP front-runner speaking about his position on the matter of radical Islam in 2011, and his views don't appear to have changed much since. While the Islamic State group has terrorized the world and radical Muslim sympathizers commit crimes in the name of the group on U.S. soil, Trump has spoken out against the danger and the Obama administration's weakness...
