A young man murders a woman, takes her phone, and calls his parents to brag about how many Jews he killed. That single, sickening detail forces a question most people try to dodge: what do you call an ideology that doesn’t just commit murder, but celebrates it without shame?
We use Douglas Murray’s “Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization” to walk straight into that question. Murray argues October 7 was not “war” in any normal sense, but a hunt for civilians, followed by hostage taking. We break down the recorded phone call Murray cites and the three telltale signs inside it: excitement instead of remorse, parents who bless the violence, and a culture where killing is treated like a proud achievement. Along the way, we wrestle with a haunting warning from George Weidenfeld, a Jewish refugee from Nazi Austria, who believed some modern antisemitism is worse than what he saw in the 1930s.
Then we turn toward what a free society does next. Weidenfeld’s own life offers a path: he repays courage with courage, helping others escape ISIS years later. We also pull in Marco Rubio’s speech in Athens at the cradle of democracy, where he names the “cult of death,” calls the West to stop being ashamed of its history, rebuild strength, and stand together against terror networks and their sponsors. If you care about October 7, Hamas, antisemitism, Israel, Western civilization, and defending democracy with moral clarity, this one is for you.
Key Points from the Episode:
• recounting the October 7 atrocities and why plain language matters
• Douglas Murray’s definition of a death cult and what the recorded call reveals
• the three details in the call that expose pride without remorse
• George Weidenfeld’s warning about hatred worse than Nazis
• why hiding evil versus broadcasting it changes the moral stakes
• refusing silence as antisemitism spreads across the West
• Rubio’s Athens message: stop being ashamed, choose strength, stand together
• rebuilding conviction at home through truth, virtue, and gratitude

TRANSCRIPT 🔗
00:00:52.870 --> 00:01:00.230
Three years ago today, a young man stood inside a home in southern Israel and picked up a phone.
00:01:00.790 --> 00:01:02.630
It wasn't his phone.
00:01:02.870 --> 00:01:05.990
It belonged to a woman he had just murdered.
00:01:06.469 --> 00:01:08.230
He used it to call his parents.
00:01:08.390 --> 00:01:11.189
He wanted them to know how proud they should be.
00:01:11.750 --> 00:01:15.109
Let's talk about it on this Liberty Minute.
00:01:15.990 --> 00:01:29.830
Welcome to the Theory to Action Podcast, where we examine the timeless treasures of wisdom from the great books in less time to help you take action immediately and ultimately to create and lead a flourishing life.
00:01:30.069 --> 00:01:33.830
Now, here's your host, David Kaiser.
00:01:35.110 --> 00:01:41.189
Hello, I am David, and welcome back to this Liberty Minute, special Liberty Minute today.
00:01:41.750 --> 00:01:46.629
As we record this, it's October 7th, 2026, three years ago.
00:01:47.510 --> 00:01:55.349
This morning, Hamas started a bastardly war.
00:01:56.310 --> 00:01:59.990
The terrorists broke through a border fence in Gaza.
00:02:00.710 --> 00:02:05.030
And what followed was the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
00:02:06.789 --> 00:02:12.870
In a matter of hours, some twelve hundred people were murdered, most of them civilians.
00:02:13.670 --> 00:02:17.349
Two hundred and fifty-one hostages were dragged from Gaza.
00:02:18.390 --> 00:02:21.830
From babies to grandmothers.
00:02:23.110 --> 00:02:24.950
Not fighting age males.
00:02:25.189 --> 00:02:27.830
From babies to grandmothers.
00:02:28.950 --> 00:02:32.150
Young people dancing in a musical festival.
00:02:32.469 --> 00:02:35.270
They were hunted down in open fields.
00:02:36.069 --> 00:02:38.950
Whole families were burned alive in their homes.
00:02:40.310 --> 00:02:41.590
This was not war.
00:02:42.550 --> 00:02:45.670
War, you see, has soldiers in front lines.
00:02:45.990 --> 00:02:47.430
This was a hunt.
00:02:49.909 --> 00:03:00.390
And our book of the day is from the great British journalist Douglas Murray on Democracies and Death Cults.
00:03:00.790 --> 00:03:03.750
Israel and the Future of Civilization.
00:03:04.630 --> 00:03:07.590
Jim Murray is a British author journalist.
00:03:07.670 --> 00:03:15.350
He's also the associate editor of The Spectator, and he's bestselling author of a book we just finished earlier.
00:03:15.670 --> 00:03:18.310
A couple months ago, The Strange Death of Europe.
00:03:19.670 --> 00:03:24.950
Fascinating book, explains everything that's been happening in Europe since 2015.
00:03:25.110 --> 00:03:27.270
We're gonna cover it more extensively.
00:03:27.590 --> 00:03:36.950
He's also written The Madness of Crowds and the War on the West, which I read some three or four years ago.
00:03:38.790 --> 00:03:45.350
And for years he's asked the one hard question that even some of the United States don't ask.
00:03:46.150 --> 00:03:51.430
Does the West still have the will to defend itself?
00:03:53.030 --> 00:04:01.270
You see, after October 7th, Murray, in this book, he didn't write it from his desk in London.
00:04:01.430 --> 00:04:05.990
He went to Israel again and again and again.
00:04:06.469 --> 00:04:09.430
You walk through the burned out kibbutzum.
00:04:09.830 --> 00:04:11.750
He sat with the survivors.
00:04:12.310 --> 00:04:16.469
You sat with the widows, the childless parents.
00:04:16.949 --> 00:04:19.269
You reported from the front lines.
00:04:19.990 --> 00:04:23.350
The book was published last year, and here's what he found.
00:04:24.629 --> 00:04:26.310
Go on to the book.
00:04:28.310 --> 00:04:31.589
The excitement in his voice was obvious.
00:04:32.149 --> 00:04:34.870
Hi Dad, the three minute call begins.
00:04:35.509 --> 00:04:39.750
Open my WhatsApp now and you will see all those killed.
00:04:40.230 --> 00:04:42.469
Look how many I kill with my own hands.
00:04:42.550 --> 00:04:44.310
Your son killed Jews.
00:04:44.709 --> 00:04:47.110
The father replies, May God protect you.
00:04:47.350 --> 00:04:48.629
The son is exulting.
00:04:48.709 --> 00:04:51.430
Dad, I'm talking to you from a Jewish woman's phone.
00:04:51.589 --> 00:04:53.430
I killed her, I killed her husband.
00:04:53.670 --> 00:04:56.069
I killed ten with my own hands.
00:04:56.550 --> 00:05:00.629
He goes on and on, repeating himself, boasting.
00:05:00.949 --> 00:05:02.069
Dad, I killed her.
00:05:02.230 --> 00:05:03.189
I killed ten.
00:05:03.589 --> 00:05:05.269
Ten with my own hands.
00:05:05.589 --> 00:05:06.949
Put mom on.
00:05:07.669 --> 00:05:10.870
Oh my son, God bless you, says the parents.
00:05:10.949 --> 00:05:14.389
Their son keeps making the same boast to his mother.
00:05:14.629 --> 00:05:16.469
I wish I was with you, she replies.
00:05:16.629 --> 00:05:18.629
Mom, your son is a hero, he boasts.
00:05:18.870 --> 00:05:20.389
Kill, kill, kill.
00:05:20.629 --> 00:05:25.990
The next the man's brother comes on the line, and the young man brags to him too.
00:05:26.149 --> 00:05:27.029
I killed ten.
00:05:27.269 --> 00:05:28.069
I swear.
00:05:28.310 --> 00:05:30.870
Hold your head up, father, hold your head up.
00:05:31.109 --> 00:05:34.310
One of the men on the other end says, Come back, come back.
00:05:34.469 --> 00:05:35.589
What do you mean come back?
00:05:35.750 --> 00:05:36.469
replies the son.
00:05:36.549 --> 00:05:37.669
There's no going back.
00:05:37.829 --> 00:05:39.430
It is either death or victory.
00:05:39.589 --> 00:05:40.549
Open the WhatsApp.
00:05:40.789 --> 00:05:41.430
See the dead.
00:05:41.589 --> 00:05:42.149
Open it.
00:05:42.310 --> 00:05:45.109
Open WhatsApp on my phone and see the dead.
00:05:45.349 --> 00:05:47.750
How I killed them with my own hands.
00:05:50.310 --> 00:05:55.430
And again, that was a quote from the book on Democracies and Death Cults.
00:05:55.750 --> 00:05:57.509
It's in the introduction.
00:06:00.789 --> 00:06:04.229
Israeli forces later released the recording.
00:06:07.909 --> 00:06:10.549
Pay attention to those three details.
00:06:11.109 --> 00:06:13.029
First, the son is not ashamed.
00:06:13.189 --> 00:06:14.549
He's excited.
00:06:15.430 --> 00:06:19.669
He counts his victims the way a boy would count touchdowns.
00:06:22.629 --> 00:06:27.430
The father doesn't scream or weep or ask what his son has done.
00:06:27.990 --> 00:06:30.389
There's no value to life.
00:06:32.149 --> 00:06:34.469
He says, May God protect you.
00:06:37.269 --> 00:06:40.149
It's a very strange god they worship.
00:06:42.469 --> 00:06:44.389
Third, and maybe the worst.
00:06:45.750 --> 00:06:46.949
Put mom on.
00:06:47.829 --> 00:06:51.349
The son wants his mother to share in his joy.
00:06:53.269 --> 00:06:56.149
And this is what Murray means by a death cult.
00:06:56.310 --> 00:06:57.349
And he's right.
00:06:58.549 --> 00:07:02.229
It isn't one sick young man.
00:07:03.029 --> 00:07:04.389
It's a family.
00:07:05.430 --> 00:07:06.469
It's a culture.
00:07:06.709 --> 00:07:07.909
It's a movement.
00:07:08.229 --> 00:07:15.269
That treats the murder of Jews or any infidel as an achievement worth calling home about.
00:07:16.949 --> 00:07:18.149
That's disgusting.
00:07:18.469 --> 00:07:19.829
That's horrific.
00:07:25.669 --> 00:07:30.149
And they say this is a religion of peace.
00:07:35.269 --> 00:07:36.709
Not sure about that.
00:07:38.709 --> 00:07:41.750
Actions are speaking louder than words.
00:07:42.709 --> 00:07:45.509
Let's go to Murray's second quote.
00:07:47.589 --> 00:07:49.189
It's pretty profound.
00:07:49.509 --> 00:07:50.870
Go on to the book.
00:07:52.789 --> 00:07:58.389
In the days after the seventh, many people tried to make sense of the facts such as these.
00:07:59.029 --> 00:08:01.750
What if anything could explain such hate?
00:08:02.069 --> 00:08:05.750
What could any man or woman do against this hate?
00:08:06.870 --> 00:08:12.949
As I thought about this, my mind went back to the late friend of mine named George Wendenfeld.
00:08:13.189 --> 00:08:17.509
George was a Viennese Jew who was born in nineteen nineteen.
00:08:17.589 --> 00:08:23.509
He had died in 2016 after having lived to a fine old age.
00:08:23.669 --> 00:08:31.750
He had fled the Nazis escaping from Austria after the Anschluss with the German annexation of the country in 1938.
00:08:32.070 --> 00:08:39.750
He came to England, meeting, among others, the great author and Habsburg admirer Joseph Roth in Paris along the way.
00:08:40.070 --> 00:08:51.269
George was a repository of stories about those times, but after outliving the Nazi regime, he spent much of the rest of his long life trying to understand it.
00:08:51.669 --> 00:09:01.750
As a publisher, he often controversially agreed to publish books by and about Nazis, including the memoirs of Albert Spare.
00:09:02.549 --> 00:09:19.430
But as the historian Andrew Roberts also remembered, toward the end of his life, George often reflected on the fact that in his view, quote, there are many people who are worse anti-Semites than the Nazis.
00:09:23.029 --> 00:09:27.909
And again, that was a quote from Demar on Democracies and Death Cults by Douglas Murray.
00:09:28.230 --> 00:09:35.990
Think about who George Wendenfeld was, Jewish boy from Vienna who ran from the Nazis in 1938.
00:09:36.309 --> 00:09:44.309
And then he spent the rest of his long life trying to understand the men who wanted him to die just because of his religion.
00:09:45.590 --> 00:09:50.789
He even published out Albert Speer, who is Hitler's own architect.
00:09:50.949 --> 00:09:59.110
He published his memoirs for more people to be aware of the hate.
00:10:00.870 --> 00:10:04.870
Few men alive knew more about the Nazis than George Wendenfeld.
00:10:05.990 --> 00:10:11.750
This was the man who said there are people who are worse anti-Semites than Nazis.
00:10:13.509 --> 00:10:15.429
That's our nugget of wisdom for today.
00:10:15.590 --> 00:10:16.870
Worse than the Nazis.
00:10:17.029 --> 00:10:18.549
Is that even possible?
00:10:19.509 --> 00:10:24.470
You see, there's one thing the Nazis did that tells us a great deal.
00:10:26.309 --> 00:10:28.309
They tried to hide it.
00:10:29.189 --> 00:10:31.750
They built their death camps far from the cities.
00:10:31.829 --> 00:10:37.110
They used soft, empty words like resettlement or a final solution.
00:10:38.470 --> 00:10:51.829
Murray even points out in the book, 1943, Heydrich Himmler made an important speech to his SS officers that the killing of the Jews was a page of history that would never be written again.
00:10:53.189 --> 00:11:01.110
The Nazis knew the world would turn away in absolute whore for what they were doing.
00:11:01.750 --> 00:11:03.429
And so they had shame.
00:11:03.669 --> 00:11:06.230
They covered their tracks, or tried to.
00:11:09.909 --> 00:11:13.509
Did Hamas cover its tracks?
00:11:16.069 --> 00:11:16.789
Nope.
00:11:17.029 --> 00:11:18.710
They did the opposite.
00:11:19.990 --> 00:11:22.710
They strapped cameras to their bodies.
00:11:23.110 --> 00:11:30.149
They streamed the murders on their victims' own social media accounts.
00:11:31.429 --> 00:11:32.549
And we just heard it.
00:11:32.629 --> 00:11:35.269
They called home to brag to their parents.
00:11:36.069 --> 00:11:38.069
The Nazis hid the crimes.
00:11:38.789 --> 00:11:41.110
Hamas broadcast theirs.
00:11:43.029 --> 00:11:45.909
Now that difference is everything.
00:11:47.110 --> 00:11:52.230
Hiding a crime means some part of you still knows it's wrong.
00:11:54.789 --> 00:11:56.230
Bragging about it.
00:11:59.110 --> 00:12:02.470
It means part of you, if not most of you, is dead.
00:12:03.829 --> 00:12:10.629
When hatred stops hiding, it is stop feeling shame, and hatred with no shame has no breaks.
00:12:13.509 --> 00:12:15.829
Some might even say no soul.
00:12:17.990 --> 00:12:20.470
George Wendenfeld died in 2016.
00:12:20.789 --> 00:12:23.269
Thankfully, he never saw October 7th.
00:12:23.829 --> 00:12:27.029
But a man who survived the Nazis saw this coming.
00:12:28.549 --> 00:12:31.829
He saw a deep hatred with no shame left in it.
00:12:32.470 --> 00:12:35.350
Three years ago today, the world saw that too.
00:12:45.990 --> 00:12:49.110
What could any man or woman do against such hate?
00:12:49.590 --> 00:12:54.149
George Wendenfeld answered that question with his own life.
00:12:54.389 --> 00:12:59.509
When he fled Vienna in 1938, Christians in Britain helped him find safety.
00:12:59.909 --> 00:13:01.429
He never forgot it.
00:13:01.590 --> 00:13:03.029
He was grateful.
00:13:03.990 --> 00:13:13.509
And in 2015, at the age of 95, he paid a rescue, he paid to rescue Christian families that were fleeing ISIS in Syria.
00:13:13.750 --> 00:13:15.590
It's a wonderful story.
00:13:16.230 --> 00:13:19.669
He said it was a debt that he had to repay.
00:13:20.870 --> 00:13:26.309
One old man remembered who stood with him, and he stood with the others in turn.
00:13:27.429 --> 00:13:29.990
Boy, is that not the best of humanity.
00:13:32.710 --> 00:13:39.350
That's what any one of us can do is to live the virtuous life.
00:13:41.110 --> 00:13:43.189
Treat human beings with respect.
00:13:48.389 --> 00:13:50.949
It's not everything, but it's something.
00:13:53.189 --> 00:13:56.149
And that's what it looks like for you and for me.
00:13:57.990 --> 00:14:00.389
We have to refuse to look away.
00:14:00.949 --> 00:14:03.350
For too long the West has looked away.
00:14:03.990 --> 00:14:05.990
It's a religion of peace.
00:14:07.429 --> 00:14:08.870
Not sure about that.
00:14:10.069 --> 00:14:13.269
Actions are speaking louder than words.
00:14:16.470 --> 00:14:19.029
Read the books about October seventh.
00:14:19.509 --> 00:14:21.509
Don't let anyone soften it.
00:14:21.669 --> 00:14:23.029
Don't get the talking points.
00:14:23.189 --> 00:14:25.269
Don't just listen to this podcast.
00:14:25.590 --> 00:14:26.230
Read it.
00:14:26.389 --> 00:14:27.750
Watch the videos.
00:14:30.389 --> 00:14:31.590
Name it plainly.
00:14:31.750 --> 00:14:33.269
It wasn't resistance.
00:14:33.750 --> 00:14:35.590
It wasn't context.
00:14:35.829 --> 00:14:40.149
It was plain, simple, cold murder.
00:14:41.429 --> 00:14:43.189
Israelis weren't in Gaza.
00:14:43.429 --> 00:14:47.269
They exited it at the request of Palestinians.
00:14:52.069 --> 00:14:54.230
Staying with your Jewish neighbors.
00:14:55.029 --> 00:15:03.750
Since October 7th, the hatred of Jews has risen on campuses and city streets, unlike anything we've seen, probably since the 1930s.
00:15:05.269 --> 00:15:07.110
It's happening all across the West.
00:15:07.509 --> 00:15:09.269
It's happening in our own country.
00:15:09.829 --> 00:15:11.429
Silence is not neutral.
00:15:11.669 --> 00:15:14.149
You gotta speak up for the respect of life.
00:15:17.750 --> 00:15:27.350
We gotta teach our sons and our daughters the difference between civilization that mourns its dead and a cult that celebrates killing.
00:15:31.909 --> 00:15:34.149
That last one is the whole fight.
00:15:34.389 --> 00:15:37.509
At least according to Murray, and I'm and I agree with you.
00:15:38.149 --> 00:15:42.230
A democracy that weeps over every life, it loses.
00:15:44.149 --> 00:15:48.710
This death cult sends its sons out to die and calls it glory.
00:15:49.269 --> 00:15:50.710
Oh heavens, no.
00:15:51.669 --> 00:15:56.069
We will not pretend, we will never pretend those two are the same.
00:15:58.710 --> 00:16:12.710
Now I do want to end on a hopeful note on this October 7th because unlike the past administration, we have some real leaders in this administration.
00:16:13.269 --> 00:16:25.669
And this evening, as the sun went down over Greece, our great Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, stood at Pinnax Hill in Athens with a Parthenon behind him.
00:16:26.389 --> 00:16:38.789
And he gave nearly a 30-minute address that was purposely done on the day on the third anniversary of the Hamas massacre in Israel.
00:16:41.269 --> 00:16:44.069
And I want you to just take in where he was standing.
00:16:55.029 --> 00:16:57.189
The Acropolis was very close.
00:16:57.429 --> 00:17:02.149
The Acropolis that we heard of Saint Paul going to.
00:17:03.750 --> 00:17:14.950
So on the day we also remember a death cult's worst work, America's top diplomat stood at Democracy's Cradle.
00:17:16.870 --> 00:17:23.990
That's Murray's title, Come to Life, Democracy's on One Side and the Death Cult on the Other.
00:17:24.230 --> 00:17:26.309
Rubio didn't soften the moment.
00:17:26.390 --> 00:17:34.549
He told the audience the West is at an inflection point, not only for America, but for the whole of our civilization.
00:17:35.910 --> 00:17:39.029
And then he named the enemy.
00:17:39.829 --> 00:17:41.430
Go on to the speech.
00:17:55.509 --> 00:18:05.829
Our heroes, the heroes of the West, are those who chose to remain faithful to their duty precisely when it was most difficult and painful to do so.
00:18:06.069 --> 00:18:17.029
The man who is bound by his word, the soldier who will not abandon his post, the captain, the proverbial captain, who goes down with his ship.
00:18:18.470 --> 00:18:42.869
This is wholly different from what we see even now from the examples, from the for the example, from fanatics, like the radical mullahs of Iran, whose cult of death hails child suicide bombers as national heroes, and who portrays martyrdom as an end to itself.
00:18:44.629 --> 00:18:45.750
Our heroes.
00:18:45.990 --> 00:18:51.910
Our heroes may be willing to die for the cause, but our heroes do not worship death.
00:18:52.230 --> 00:19:04.470
It is precisely because we value life that we come to recognize the heroism and those who would sooner sacrifice it than betray their principles.
00:19:08.549 --> 00:19:14.069
Again, that was our great Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, in Greece today.
00:19:15.589 --> 00:19:17.829
Murray called it a death cult.
00:19:19.029 --> 00:19:21.910
Rubio calls it a cult of death.
00:19:22.230 --> 00:19:29.269
Two men looking from two different places, seeing and identifying the same thing.
00:19:29.430 --> 00:19:32.230
And remember, who funds Hamas?
00:19:33.509 --> 00:19:34.150
Iran.
00:19:35.430 --> 00:19:54.309
Earlier today in Athens, Rubio accused Iran's rulers of spending their own country's money on Hezbollah, on Hamas, on Iraqi militias, and the Houtis instead of on and for their own people.
00:19:55.190 --> 00:19:56.389
Rightly so.
00:19:56.710 --> 00:20:02.950
The father who blessed his murdering son didn't invent this radical hatred.
00:20:03.349 --> 00:20:07.589
It was taught, it was paid for, and it was celebrated.
00:20:07.829 --> 00:20:10.869
It's been that way for 1400 years.
00:20:11.589 --> 00:20:13.349
So how do we combat it?
00:20:13.509 --> 00:20:15.109
How do we fight it?
00:20:16.710 --> 00:20:19.670
That's why I loved about Rubio's speech.
00:20:21.349 --> 00:20:25.269
Because he said, stop being ashamed for who we are.
00:20:26.389 --> 00:20:35.430
Rubio said the West tore down its monuments, condemned its own history, and taught children to be ashamed of the countries they would inherit.
00:20:37.589 --> 00:20:38.950
That's rubbish.
00:20:40.309 --> 00:20:42.230
Rubio called it out.
00:20:42.549 --> 00:20:45.190
Stop being ashamed of who we are.
00:20:47.990 --> 00:20:53.029
We are the greatest civilization, the Western civilization.
00:20:56.869 --> 00:20:59.509
He also told us to choose strength.
00:21:00.150 --> 00:21:09.109
He said America has chosen to rebuild its defenses, bring back its industry, and take control of its critical supply chains.
00:21:23.990 --> 00:21:26.470
And finally, we need to stand together.
00:21:27.349 --> 00:21:43.430
At his press conference earlier in the day, Rubio announced an important new agreement with Greece to share counterterrorism information between their law enforcement agencies and ours so the threats can be stopped before they strike.
00:21:46.869 --> 00:21:53.269
So three major points stop being ashamed of who we are, choose strength, and stand together.
00:21:53.430 --> 00:22:01.430
And if we look back at that first point, because it's the one that belongs to you and me.
00:22:02.389 --> 00:22:04.629
The young man on the phone had no doubt.
00:22:04.789 --> 00:22:09.190
He was proud of what he did, and his father was proud of him.
00:22:11.190 --> 00:22:17.269
A civilization that's ashamed of itself can't stand against an enemy that has no shame at all.
00:22:17.910 --> 00:22:22.150
It might be a death cult, but they're convicted.
00:22:23.190 --> 00:22:25.029
And that's the real contest.
00:22:26.309 --> 00:22:31.349
It isn't only rockets against the Iron Dome, it's conviction against conviction.
00:22:32.230 --> 00:22:36.309
A death cult raises its sons to be proud of murder.
00:22:37.430 --> 00:22:42.470
We have to raise ours to be proud of what's actually worth defending.
00:22:43.589 --> 00:22:53.910
The right to vote on a hill in Athens, the right to worship in peace, live in peace, and the right of a Jewish family to sleep safely in its home.
00:22:57.190 --> 00:22:59.109
They might call us infidels.
00:23:01.430 --> 00:23:03.990
But we need to stop backing down.
00:23:05.910 --> 00:23:07.990
Rubio closed with a challenge.
00:23:09.190 --> 00:23:17.910
He called Europe to awaken from its long slumber and rekindle the fire that was lit in Athens some thousand years ago.
00:23:20.069 --> 00:23:21.829
That's the answer to Murray's question.
00:23:21.990 --> 00:23:25.990
What can any man do against such radical hate?
00:23:26.549 --> 00:23:30.230
He can rekindle the fire in his own home first.
00:23:31.190 --> 00:23:33.269
He can learn about Western civilization.
00:23:33.349 --> 00:23:34.549
He can read the books.
00:23:34.789 --> 00:23:38.069
He can understand Christendom.
00:23:38.470 --> 00:23:41.509
He can rekindle his faith.
00:23:41.829 --> 00:23:49.509
A faith that will look into the heart of pure evil in its eye and say, I will not submit.
00:23:52.230 --> 00:23:53.190
No more.
00:23:54.470 --> 00:23:59.109
And so in today's Liberty Minute, here's your challenge.
00:23:59.509 --> 00:24:08.789
Pick up on Democracies and Death Cults, read the introduction, and then sit down with your family and tell them what happened three years ago today.
00:24:08.950 --> 00:24:12.389
Tell them why it matters, tell them why we're defending it.
00:24:12.629 --> 00:24:20.869
And George Wendenfeld spent his life repaying that one act of courage that people did for him.
00:24:21.910 --> 00:24:24.309
And we can start paying it forward.
00:24:25.829 --> 00:24:28.069
We can start with our own family.
00:24:31.829 --> 00:24:38.069
And we can rekindle this fire in Western civilization.
00:24:38.470 --> 00:24:40.629
We can stand up to this death call.
00:24:41.190 --> 00:24:42.789
And we can win.
00:24:43.829 --> 00:24:47.109
As always, let's keep fighting the good fight.
00:24:58.230 --> 00:24:59.910
