For all the time that we spend on the latest political developments in the nation’s biggest population centers — for example, the election of a Muslim socialist in New York City, or the attacks on immigration officers in Los Angeles — it’s undeniable that some of the biggest and most important stories are happening in much smaller cities and towns across the country. It’s in the smaller locales that we’re starting to see some real flashpoints emerging, even though no corporate media outlet would dare to talk about them. We’re now seeing very disturbing images that could soon define our national politics, as large-scale demographic replacement begins to take hold. And whatever you make of the disasters unfolding in places like New York and California, the decline of smaller cities is even more disturbing. Consider Dearborn Michigan, population just north of 100,000. If you were ranking American cities by population, Dearborn wouldn’t even crack the top 300. But the population that Dearborn does have is highly significant. Dearborn currently has a larger proportion of Muslims than any other city in the United States, and it recently became the first Arab-majority city in the country. Fully 55% of Dearborn’s residents say they have Middle Eastern or North African ancestry — which explains why Dearborn boasts the largest mosque in the entire continent of North America. Dearborn, as I’ve said before, is an Islamic capital at this point. It’s not an American city in any way. Dearborn has been conquered. And the few remaining Americans in Dearborn are now finding themselves surrounded by mobs of Muslims chanting Allahu Akbar, and telling them to leave the city. This is footage that was taken by Nick Shirley, one of the few journalists who’s willing to travel to Dearborn. The footage shows Shirley attempting to interview an activist named Jake Lang — who was one of the pardoned January 6 defendants. But the interview doesn’t go anywhere, because at this point, Dearborn resembles Fallujah. Watch: ?

The president should’ve responded to this by now. It is footage that, 25 years ago, everyone would’ve assumed came from Iraq or Afghanistan. To be clear about what we just saw: If you’re an American citizen, and the mob of Muslims that controls Dearborn believes that you’re a “racist,” then you’re not welcome in the city any longer. Your constitutional rights to freedom of expression are suspended. You will be surrounded and hounded. And indeed, that’s the official position of the government of Dearborn. It was just a few weeks ago, you may remember, that the mayor of Dearborn, Abdullah Hammoud, publicly berated a Christian pastor, telling him that he’s not “welcome” in the city because of his views. (This is the same mayor who, as we discussed yesterday, said he “disavows” the concept of assimilation.) So this tactic of driving out Americans who disagree with the Islamization of the city extends not just to the mob but to government officials in the city as well. That’s what makes this, among other things, a constitutional crisis. In an American city, no one — not even an alleged “racist” — should be surrounded, intimidated, and forced to leave. That’s not something that should ever happen, under any circumstances. It doesn’t matter if he starts talking about bananas. It doesn’t matter if he insults Mohammed. It doesn’t matter if he burns a Koran. I don’t agree with that, I wouldn’t do it myself, but this is America. In this country, unlike the Muslim world, we have the freedom of speech and the freedom of association. The Koran is not a sacred text that we protect by Law, and Mohammed is not a prophet whose name we revere. This is America. But places like Dearborn don’t look much like America anymore, or act like it. Jake Lang, while holding a sign reading “Americans Against Islamification,” was also punched in the face on camera in Dearborn by someone who quickly ran away.

He’s protesting against Islamification, which is his right as an American citizen. You don’t have to like him or agree with his tactics. He is well within his constitutional rights as an American. He’s expressing a view about a particular religion, which conflicts with his own beliefs. And for doing that, he was violently attacked in the middle of a street.  Where is the DOJ that prosecuted Douglas Mackey for making a meme? Why aren’t they all over this? Douglas Mackey was charged with violating Americans’ right to vote, by making a meme about Hillary Clinton. Meanwhile, we have a clear attack on someone engaging in First Amendment-protected protest. And the DOJ hasn’t said a word about it. And by the way, this wasn’t the only time Lang was attacked in Dearborn. And others were attacked as well. The independent journalist Cam Higby was pepper sprayed and assaulted after he attempted to defend a Christian protester in Dearborn. Watch: ?ASSAULTED: I WAS ATTACKED & PEPPER SPRAYED AT ANTI-ISLAM PROTEST ANTIFA terrorist was harassing a Christian protester in Dearborn, MI.

(@camhigby) November 18, 2025 Credit: @camhigby/X.com This is a systemic, top-down assault on the civil liberties of Americans in Dearborn. When Americans are beaten in the streets, the police look the other way. When Americans assemble outside the city council, they’re surrounded and intimidated with chants of “Allahu Ackbar” — in America. It does not matter what you think of Jake Lang and Cam Higby. It doesn’t matter if you think they’re great people or horrible people. It doesn’t matter if you think Cam Higby is a good journalist, or whether Jake Lang is a good activist. I’ve seen some people on social media saying that Lang is a fraud, essentially just a shock jock doing this for attention. I don’t know the guy or know much of anything about him. I can’t speak to his motives. All I know is that this is a completely unacceptable state of affairs in an American city. Period. It’s also unconstitutional. The DOJ has a civil rights division to protect our civil rights. And they need to move into Dearborn, along with the National Guard, immediately. The city council meeting, under heavy police guard, did eventually take place. At the meeting, Lang offered these remarks. And I’m going to play them at some length — not because I agree with or endorse everything he says, but because they whole scene is important for you to see. You need to hear how the audience responds. You need to see how the police respond.  And most of all, you need to understand that Lang is what happens when the government decides to replace American citizens with Muslims from the third world. When you displace Americans, berate them, assault them, vilify them, and destroy their livelihoods, then you get people like this. You get resistance. And at that point, once you’ve pushed people far enough, you don’t get to choose what that resistance looks like. You don’t get to “tone police” it. When you target a specific race for replacement — when you engage in open racial warfare — then you cannot pretend to be outraged when you get this kind of response. It is inevitable. Watch:   Credit: City of Dearborn/@DeabornGov/YouTube.com An entire line of police officers has to follow Jake Lang out of this meeting. And as we’ll see in a moment, to their credit, some of these officers accompanied him to his car, as a mob of Muslims surrounded him outside. But before we get to that, we need to see a little more from this meeting. I’m willing to say that it was probably the most consequential city council meeting in Dearborn’s history.  So here’s Cam Higby, the journalist who was assaulted. Here’s what he had to say: Watch:   Credit: Credit: City of Dearborn/@DeabornGov/YouTube.com Watching footage like this — and there’s a lot more like it — you have to wonder: How much longer can the city of Dearborn continue to treat Americans like second-class citizens, as Cam Higby says? How much longer can Americans tolerate this takeover of Dearborn — the hometown of Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company? And what’s going to happen when this escalates even further, which it obviously will? Make no mistake, the foreigners in Dearborn are not interested in peace at this point. One by one, Muslims stood up at this city council meeting to mock the Americans who complained. Here’s one particularly Sassy guys, who made one of the dumbest arguments I’ve ever heard in my life. Watch: Credit: City of Dearborn/@DeabornGov/YouTube.com This is one of those “gotchas” that’s extremely hard to watch, without cringing uncontrollably. He really thinks this is some kind of devastating  checkmate. It’s like saying the “Sahara Desert” is a nonsense term, because Sahara means “desert” in Arabic. It’s the kind of statement you’d make if you’re a really annoying person who desperately wants to avoid discussing anything meaningful, so you default to some incredibly dumb and annoying linguistic argument. I’m not even going to dispute his translation of “sharia,” although it’s probably wrong. Obviously, in this country, we use the term “sharia law” as a shorthand for “Islamic law,” as opposed to actual, functioning legal systems — ones that don’t call for beheading when you leave the Islamic faith, for example. This speaker knows that. He just wants to avoid the topic. And as this guy continued to speak, you quickly discover why he doesn’t want to talk about substance.  Watch:   Credit: City of Dearborn/@DeabornGov/YouTube.com Did you catch that? Islam is the religion of peace, and Mohammed is merciful, he says. That’s how he opened. And then he says that, if you mock Islam, then you’re causing violence. You’re responsible for the violence that Muslims will inflict on you. See how that works? “We’re a religion of peace. But if you make fun of us, we’ll kill you. So don’t be violent by making fun of us, okay?” To be clear, it wasn’t just Muslims who encouraged violence against Americans. Several members of Antifa-type groups also spoke. Watch:   Credit: City of Dearborn/@DeabornGov/YouTube.com This masked activist — saying her political opponents should be stopped “by any means necessary” — is openly celebrating the fact that her political opponents were intimidated into silence. This is an admission of a constitutional violation. She should be prosecuted. The fake nonprofit that she belongs to — which Andy Ngo has extensively reported on — should be shut down. But of course, that probably won’t happen. More than two months after the murder of Charlie Kirk, has a single Leftist group like this been investigated, much less shut down? This would be a pretty good place to start. For now, these terrorists are emboldened, for obvious reasons. Another masked activist condemned the city council for failing to use law enforcement to shut down the conservative protesters. Watch:   Credit: City of Dearborn/@DeabornGov/YouTube.com As a result of these kinds of threatening statements — as well as the actual violence that was on display — Jake Lang and Cam Higby requested a police escort out of the meeting. Watch:   Credit: @camhigby/X.com/YouTube: Cam Higby They asked a police officer to accompany them to their cars, and fortunately, the officer agreed. (Not that it should’ve been necessary to ask in the first place.) And even with the officers there, a few people tried to harass them anyway. At this rate, it’s only a matter of time until the violence escalates. Everyone knows that. No sane or decent person wants that to happen. The last thing we want is violence. But you cannot work to undermine American identity and scold and castigate and condemn every American who objects, and then be surprised when the whole situation devolves into chaos. The only solution — the one way to to prevent that chaos — is to return American cities to Americans. That’s the only possible solution here. It’s the only one that can work. But at the moment, for whatever reason, some prominent figures who claim to be on the Right are actually training their fire on people who are protesting the Muslim takeover of Dearborn, rather than the Muslim foreigners themselves.  Here’s what Jake Shields wrote, for example, in response to a video of one of Lang’s protests.  “Muslims don’t hate Christians so I’m not sure what the point of this. … Do This in Brooklyn in a mostly Jewish communities.” So I guess the idea is that, in order to dunk on the “Jewish communities,” we’re just supposed to forget about the fact that Muslims have been killing Christians for 1400 years. They’re killing Christians across the world right now, particularly in Nigeria, as we discussed a few weeks ago. Every year, Muslims are executing thousands of Christians because of their faith. Meanwhile, Islamic countries are also flooding our country with immigrants who hate us — and who openly threaten us at city council meetings. But we’re supposed to believe Muslims have no hatred for Christians whatsoever, even though that statement defies over a millennium of human experience.  After I challenged Jake Shields publicly, he responded by claiming that Christians have killed far more Muslims, than the other way around, which isn’t true. And as I told him on X, that is just full on anti-Christian propaganda. Something straight from the left-wing Reddit fever swamps. His talking points are totally indistinguishable from the far-Left. It’s an effort to distract conservatives from doing what needs to be done, which is taking back our homeland. And we can’t fall for it. There are some people ostensibly on the right for whom hating Israel is literally the only issue that matters. They would happily let our country succumb to a third world invasion if it meant that we’d have more people here who don’t like Israel. They are Israel First from the other direction. In any case, the time for a national, federal response to this foreign invasion is long overdue. But there hasn’t been one. Therefore, this week, the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, decided to take action on his own. He designated CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations. Watch: Credit: @Fox4news/YouTube.com CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood deny these allegations, of course. But the evidence is pretty clear. During a federal prosecution related to terrorism financing nearly two decades ago, CAIR (which is basically a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood) was named as a co-conspirator in an effort to funnel millions of dollars to Hamas, which the U.S. designates as a terror group. CAIR’s founders were also in close communication with Hamas. As Abbott wrote in his proclamation: “Hassan al-Banna, who founded the Muslim Brotherhood, professed that Jihad is an obligation from Allah on every Muslim. … and that Jihad means fighting unbelievers … plundering their wealth, destroying their places of worship and smashing their idols. … [And] even in the present day, the Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood … has stated that the organization’s primary goal is to establish Islam’s mastership of the world … and to forcibly impose sharia law worldwide.” The governor’s proclamation adds: “CAIR is an Islamist organization that, according to the FBI, was founded as a front group for Hamas. … And CAIR and its members have repeatedly employed, affiliated with, and supported individuals promoting terrorism-related activities.” There’s also new reporting that CAIR allegedly cut $1,000 checks to campus radicals who besieged American universities back in 2023. So they’re directly funding anarchy in this country. Going after these two organizations won’t stop the kinds of problems we’re seeing in places like Dearborn. But it would be a start. And the federal government needs to follow through, at this point. There’s no other option. There’s some reporting today that, as a favor to Qatar, the Trump administration may be holding back. But there’s no reason to do so. We elected this administration to target foreign invaders. These people are foreign invaders. And we need to dismantle their institutions if we’re ever going to remove them from power. The Islamification of America is one of the greatest threats we face to our country and our national identity. It’s impossible to be an America-first nationalist unless you’re taking a stand against it. Remember, Dearborn is where protesters chanted “Death to America.” Watch:  In the middle of Dearborn, Michigan an entire crowd chants “Death to America.” pic.twitter.com/yZ2SgjSD3S — Eyal Yakoby (@EYakoby) November 19, 2025 Credit: @EYakoby/X.com Again: you are not America First if you align with people who literally chant death to America. Opposing those who want to see the death of our country is about the lowest possible bar. We need to protect and preserve our country. And we elected this administration to do exactly that — to represent our country, to the exclusion of every other. But we’re getting taken advantage of, all over the country, by foreigners who hate us. It’s not just happening in Dearborn. City Journal just published an article on the extent of Somali Muslim fraud in Minnesota, which is far worse than anyone realized. They’re not just stealing our money with various welfare scams, they’re also using that money to fund Islamic militants and terrorists. A source described the close links between the Somali-American community in Minnesota and Islamic terror groups abroad. Ten years ago, the source was recruited as an ‘independent contractor’ for a three-letter agency investigation into the ‘Minnesota men’ who had joined, or attempted to join, ISIS. That year, a Homeland Security task force report found that Minnesota led the nation in the number of Americans who had joined, or attempted to join, ISIS. Of the 58 Americans who had done so, nearly half came from Minnesota. The relationship is ongoing. ‘This is a third-rail conversation, but the largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer,’ the source said. ‘There is an issue here that is real, and if there is ever an event that is traceable back to these funds, or to people from this area, then this situation will take on a whole new set of optics.’ There’s another recent article, by Armin Rosen, called “The Shame of Our Cities: How Minneapolis became the Medicaid Fraud capital of the USA.” That’s also worth reading if you’re interested in the mechanics of some of these fraudulent schemes. But really, the mechanics don’t matter. These people shouldn’t be in this country in the first place. The fact that they’re stealing from us, and funding terrorists, is just more reason to get rid of them. These stories, and this city council meeting in Dearborn, are the clearest possible sign that we’re running out of time to rescue America from this foreign invasion. We should never have to witness a scene like that city council meeting ever again, within the borders of the United States. We shouldn’t have to wonder if our tax dollars are funding fake anti-American nonprofits, much less terrorists. And we should accept nothing less than the full weight of the federal government coming down on these invaders, and returning America to Americans. * * * Right now, DailyWire+ annual memberships are fifty percent off during our Black Friday sale.

Secretary of Education Linda McMahon addressed federal funding and “education micromanagement” at a White House Press Briefing on Thursday. “We’re not ending federal support for education,” McMahon said. “We’re ending education micromanagement. The Department of Education does not educate a single student.” At Thursday’s press briefing, McMahon further clarified the misconception currently held by many Democratic lawmakers — including Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz — that President Trump plans to defund education. McMahon reiterated that the Trump administration is focused on ending the bureaucratic, non-educational agency that has failed to improve national reading or math scores for decades. Walz had posted to X on Tuesday, “Gutting the Department of Education and defunding our public schools threatens that promise for every child in the nation.” McMahon initially responded to Walz with a post of her own, writing, “The good news for you, Governor, is that federal funding for education CONTINUES to flow.” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also defended the administration’s plan to close the Department of Education, pointing out the recent furlough of 90% of the agency’s staff as proof that the department is unnecessary. “The Department of Education furloughed 90% of its staff, and it did not affect schools whatsoever,” said Leavitt. With only 10% of its staff still working, institutions from preschool to college remained fully open and all teachers received their paychecks, making “it painfully obvious that American families do not need a Department of Education.” Education Secretary Linda McMahon joined Leavitt at the podium to reinforce the message. “The Department of Education does not educate a single student,” said McMahon. She rejected claims that Trump wants to “defund education,” clarifying that the administration’s goal is to return control of schools to the states — not eliminate education itself. The Department of Education was established by President Jimmy Carter in 1979. McMahon argued that after decades of federal oversight, students have yet to see the benefits. “Since the 1970s, math and reading scores are down in public schools,” said McMahon. “It’s clear throwing money at a broken system does not work.” McMahon cited troubling statistics: Only 3 out of 10 students can read proficiently at the third-grade level, college students are collectively $1.7 trillion in debt, and about half of college graduates work in fields unrelated to their expensive degrees. In an effort to reset American education, McMahon launched a 50-state tour to meet with students, teachers, parents, and community leaders to identify what’s working on the ground. Her conclusion so far: “The best education comes from those closest to the student. Education is local, and it should be overseen locally.” She added that President Trump shares this view and campaigned on returning control of education to the states. While McMahon is working to shrink the Department of Education, former President Joe Biden’s Education Secretary sought to expand it. Biden’s Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona requested $82.4 billion in discretionary funding for the Department of Education, reflecting a 4% increase from the previous year. Unlike Cardona, McMahon did not request a budget increase. Instead, she focused on tightening the department’s operations, reporting earlier this year that the department uncovered nearly $90 million in misused taxpayer dollars. The Trump administration anticipates further savings from reducing redundancies by streamlining agency administration and shifting crucial Department of Education responsibilities to other federal agencies. Ultimately, McMahon hopes that through this plan, “America’s next generation will look back on the work we’ve carried out [and be] thankful for an education system that prioritizes students over bureaucracy.”

Authorities arrested a high school assistant principal in Virginia on Wednesday after he and his brother allegedly made detailed plans to attack federal immigration agents and other law enforcement officers, according to local reports. Kempsville High School assistant principal John W. Bennett, 54, is accused of plotting the violence alongside his brother Mark B. Bennett, 59. An off-duty Norfolk police officer overheard the pair discussing their plans as they dined at a local pho restaurant on November 15, according to ABC13, citing court documents. The brothers were allegedly heard saying Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were “kidnapping individuals,” while Mark Bennett mentioned plans to fly to Las Vegas to meet with “like-minded individuals” and return with “enforcement ideas and plans.” Mark had purchased a flight for November 19, authorities later confirmed. He also mentioned recently purchasing an assault rifle because it could fire rounds that could cut through body armor, saying he yearned to “go hunting,” according to the outlet. John seemingly endorsed the plan and expressed interest in joining his brother on the trip to Vegas, according to the report. Authorities captured the pair at the Norfolk International Airport. Right now, DailyWire+ annual memberships are fifty percent off during our Black Friday sale. Join now at dailywire.com/blackfriday. The brothers were each charged with one conspiracy to commit malicious wounding and were granted $25,000 bond on Thursday, according to WAVY. While out of custody, the two must cut contact with each other and wear a GPS tracker. The assistant principal has worked at the school district since 2009, according to ABC13. He is now on leave, school officials said. “These allegations of violence against law enforcement, the very ones who protect and serve our communities, are incredibly alarming,” Virginia Beach Police Department Chief Paul W. Neudigate said in a statement. ICE has faced a 1,000% surge in assaults since President Donald Trump returned to office and commenced a historic deportation operation across the country. An anti-ICE shooter opened fire on an agency facility in Dallas in September, killing two detainees and himself. At another North Texas ICE facility, a group of alleged Antifa militants lured agents outside by setting off fireworks on July 4 before spraying bullets in their direction. One of the alleged attackers shot a local police officer in the neck while hiding in the woods.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. We can almost smell the turkey and stuffing. We’re definitely ready for some pumpkin pie and cider by a crackling fire. Of course, someone has to make all of that delicious food, and while we cook, we have to watch TV. There are some classic Thanksgiving movies and TV shows that are on rotation this time of year. We can’t forget the flying turkeys on WKRP in Cincinnati. And nothing makes us cry quite like John Candy and Steve Martin in Planes, Trains and Automobiles. But we’d be remiss in skipping over The Un-Underground Movie. You may not recall the episode by the official title, but what if we called it The Brady Bunch Thanksgiving Episode? Does that ring a bell? View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Brady Bunch (@bradybunch) The “The Brady Bunch” Went All In For Thanksgiving No, Alice didn’t cook The Brady Bunch a giant meal, but she did dress up for Greg’s school project movie. Christopher Knight and Barry Williams, who played Peter and Greg Brady, respectively, spoke of the episode on their podcast, The Real Brady Bros. The episode helped mold what generations loved about the Brady family. “I enjoyed filming it,” Barry said. “It was quite memorable having everybody in the backyard. I thought it was a lot of fun, it shows a lot about our family dynamic. This is early on in the second year, and it shows a lot about how we were relating and operating as a family: the communication, how we resolved issues, what it was like. I just thought it was a really good example of Brady.” Chris agreed and remembered having a lot of fun filming the episode. He added that the Thanksgiving episode changed the dynamics of The Brady Bunch. “The original concept of the show…was really supposed to be about adults and how they’re affected by their children,” he said. “The perspective being that originally the concept was the stars of the show were going to be the adults, and the kids sort of intersect those adult lives and changed their course as a result. Ultimately, it became a show truly about the whole family because everyone’s everybody’s influencing everyone else. And in this episode, I see a remnant of that beginning.” This story’s featured image is by ABC Photo Archives/Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images.

Christmas is just around the corner, and it’s the time of year when people often feel charitable and happy. They buzz around with smiles on their faces and carols in their hearts.

'Not one more federal dollar funds the destruction'

Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of today’s video from Daily Signal Senior Contributor Victor Davis Hanson. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to see more of his videos. Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. We’re hearing this epithet, invective, smear, slander, “Nazi, Nazi, Nazis, Hitler,” all the time now. We’re accustomed to it as conservatives. It seems almost every time there was a Republican president in office, the Left smeared him as a Nazi. Remember President George W. Bush? We were told by George Soros, the dean of the Yale Law School that he was Hitler-like, that he had Nazi propensities. I think a minister in the German government of Chancellor Angela Merkel called Bush a Nazi. And now with President Donald Trump, we hear that slander even more. What are Nazis? Nazi is referring to a political party between 1920 and 1945, just 25 years, that, in the ashes of the defeat of World War I and the Great Depression, it played on the fears of Germany and it created something called the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Nazi, that’s the abbreviation. And its aim was to substitute nationalism and race for class, so they could compete effectively with communist socialists. So, they didn’t say, “We’re not socialists.” They said, “We are socialists, but we’re national socialists and we are, essentially, a big union of German workers and we believe in the singular racial purity and superiority of the German people. And we’re going to get back what we lost to the Depression and war, war costs that we had to pay for, remittances to the winning side, reparations, etc., and the loss of World War I and the humiliation that that incurred.” So, in that period, Adolf Hitler became their chief spokesman. He convinced the German people to go to war. They were successful between Sept. 1, 1939, until about 1943, when they literally took on the whole world, especially the United States and the Soviet Union, in addition to Britain and the defeated allies of Western Europe. They lost, but in the process, 70 million people were killed. And more importantly, in some sense, at least 6 million—I don’t mean more importantly in number of deaths, but in the intent. These were not part of the war dead. They were a systematic effort to destroy European Jewry, the Roma, and some Slavic people, 6 to 7 million of them. That was what Hitler did, and he justified that. So, ever since, that word “Hitler” or “Nazi” is equated with mass death. And nobody in the United States within the political realm ever praises Hitler or the Nazis in general. Indeed, we fought them and many of our grandparents died fighting them, victoriously so. So, what are we hearing? Mostly, it’s from the Left, Left, Left. They call everyone Hitler. They’ve called Trump every aspect of Hitler, a Nazi. We hear it all the time. But what’s new now is that there is a small segment on the right that, while not proclaiming to be Nazis, of course, or Hitler, they are referring to World War II in general and specific aspects of Nazism and Hitlerism, not in a negative sense. Most notoriously, Nick Fuentes has recently said that he had admired Hitler and he admired some of the things the Nazis had done. There are revisionist historians on the right that have been showcased who think that it was a mistake of the United States to fight Hitler in World War II, that Josef Stalin was the greater peril. But they go beyond that. And to make that revisionist case, which is hard to make, if not impossible, they have to demonize the heroes of the Allied movement, from Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt to Winston Churchill. So, what am I getting at? For the first time in all of our lives, we are seeing people openly, overtly—not very many, but they have a larger audience, it seems, every couple of months—who defend Nazism and the horrors that followed from Adolf Hitler’s career. And so, it’s very incumbent upon us that we know what the Nazis were, when they rose, what they caused, how we defeated them, and how an American elected president or mainstream political figures, even if we don’t agree with them, are not Nazis, are not Hitler-like. That is a given. That’s what we assume, but we have never in our lives seen anybody speak of Nazis, except maybe the Ku Klux Klan or the American Nazi Party, in favorable terms, or at least non-judgmentally. We are now. It has to be stopped, condemned, so that this does not become an orthodoxy on the right. We publish a variety of perspectives.

Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Masino told BlazeTV's Glenn Beck that the company was trying to correct for lighting and comfort when it presented its redesign.Masino was at the center of controversy in August when the old country store was blasted for changing its logo, branding, and interior design. Customers particularly took issue with the removal of the country man sitting on a chair next to a barrel, as well as the barrel itself, leaving just black "Cracker Barrel" text on a yellow background.'Were you surprised you weren't fired?'Beck sat down with Masino inside a Cracker Barrel, tucked away in a corner booth along with the company's senior vice president of store operations, Doug Hisel. During the hour-long conversation that saw Masino almost shed tears at one point, the CEO expressed anxiety about agreeing to the interview due to feeling that her position throughout the ordeal had been misconstrued. "I want to set the record straight," she said. "I want people to know that this is the brand that they've always known and loved, and that our job is to take care of it and just set it up for the next 55 years."Beck cut the noise and directly asked, "Were you surprised you weren't fired?""I feel like I've been fired by America," Masino replied."That's probably worse," Beck noted.The CEO explained that her intentions were only to help Americans love the brand, "the way I love this brand ... the way everybody who works here."Pointing to the some 70,000 employees at Cracker Barrel, Masino said she knows the responsibility she has on her shoulders and that she must ensure her employees are taken care of, and in turn are able to put a roof over their head and food on their table."My job is to make sure that Cracker Barrel helps them do that," she added.RELATED: Cracker Barrel saves its old-timey decor — but will we settle for a Potemkin past? Cracker Barrel CEO Finally Addresses ‘Woke’ Rebrand Controversy | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 275 Surrounded by classic Americana synonymous with the store, Beck asked the execs about the disconnect in terms of the rebranding; Masino rejected that there was ever a plan to remodel."Was [the rebrand] ever intended to get rid of all this?" Beck asked, kindly referring to the bleakly remodeled restaurants that were shown online."I think a lot of people think that Doug and me and other people sit around are like, 'Let's remodel Cracker Barrel.' Nothing could be further from the truth," Masino claimed.The real reason for the recalibration, she cited, were customer experiences that described visits as being "real dark" and not being able to read the menu. She then recalled not one but two stories where she spotted customers using a stadium cushion while eating at the restaurant."I love your food; I love it here, but your chairs are so uncomfortable," she remembered one man telling her."That's really where it all started," Masino said. "How do we make the stores more comfortable?""How do we get the right balance of investment, of comfort, of nostalgia, of the tradition that everybody knows and loves here? But in a way, that's easy for our teams to take care of," she went on.Masino said it was her expectation that customers would take issue with the presence of too many booths, but "it wasn't that. It was the black and white and the decor.""So that's why, when people got upset about it, we were like, 'Oh gosh, that's not the intention. We can revert them,'" she added.RELATED: Cracker Barrel folds again, tells customers they 'don't need to worry' Glenn Beck (L) interviews Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Masino (M) and Doug Hisel (R), senior vice president of store operations. Image courtesy Blaze TV / Glenn Beck Beck was able to extract a lot of the boardroom reasoning behind the branding blunder from the CEO. Masino told him that the remodeled stores in question were all company-owned and have since been reverted back to their original design, save for four in Florida that are dealing with permitting laws; but the company is working on that.During this line of questioning, Beck pointed out that he could feel Masino's genuine nature and that she was "hurt deeply" and "personally" from the backlash the company received."You're so human, and you're fighting it. Why?" Beck asked."I don't know," Masino replied, appearing to tear up. At this point, Hisel jumped in to reassure Masino that she is a good person, doing her best.The productive conversation concluded with a brief mention of Hisel and Masino reaffirming that "everybody is welcome at Cracker Barrel.""It's America's store," Hisel said. "Come as you are. If you play checkers, we can do pancakes and country fried turkey. Come as you are."Like Blaze News?
