Greg Gutfeld is known for his comedic and quirky attitude, but during Sunday night’s episode of The Greg Gutfeld Show, Gutfeld gave a more sobering but no less epic monologue on how to defeat ISIS.
He started off by mentioning that “this Paris terrorist attack reveals the truth many have known, but our leaders have refused to admit: We are at war.”
Gutfeld mentions “those elected to protect us transfixed by identity politics, fear of Islamophobia, and micro-fractional upticks in celsius.” This war he mentions, is “a war that wants us. We no longer have a choice of talking our way out of it, like a fearful hostage at a bank heist.”
He then lays out four things we need:
- A leader. This leader must be “one who understands the threat, is happy to state its name, and ready to commit to its end.” Gutfeld also called out, though not by name, those who support Edward Snowden and those who don’t understand that “terror change… trumps climate change.”
- A people. This includes “a country who pulls itself out of its self-obsession, it’s politics of me.” There also needs to be “a unified citizenry, one that realizes the pleasant world they’ve grown used to denigrating is about to come to an end, unless they act.”
- A media. Gutfeld spoke briefly about the media, but still didn’t spare them as he told them to focus on “authentic, not symbolic concerns.” He compared them “amplify[ing] campus cry babies over Islamic terror” to if “instead of covering Hitler, you focused solely on the peekaboo bangs of Veronica Lake.”
- A defense, which Gutfeld did not merely mean a national one or guns, though both he said “goes without saying.” Rather in this poignant point, he focused on how, “as a citizen, I have to play a role in knowing how to stop something awful.” Gutfeld pointed to the passengers on Flight 93 who acted as they did “because they knew it was their only choice.” He then related it back to today, since “it’s time we accept that choice, as a country. Because it’s the only one we have left.”
The video is easily Gutfeld’s most watched clip from the show available on the Facebook page. The video was released on Sunday, and so far as of Monday morning has over 586,000 views, and is rapidly growing.
