From The Daniel Cohen Show on Real Life Network, I am connecting the dots between Minneapolis unrest, ICE enforcement, Islamic political symbolism like officials swearing oaths on the Quran, and the growing pressure on Christians to stop sitting out the public square. This is about America, national security, immigration, and biblical truth, and it is happening in real time.

Quran Oaths and the Message Behind the Symbol

Virginia’s new lieutenant governor was sworn in with her hand on the Quran. Two weeks ago, Zoran Mamdani did the same thing in New York City. We have also seen it from Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. Legally, the Constitution allows someone to swear in on any book they choose. That is not the point.

The point is the message being sent in broad daylight, especially when the same political machine that celebrates these moments also treats Christians like a problem to be managed. When you swear to uphold the Constitution, why choose a text that rejects the very foundations that made America possible, like individual liberty, equal justice under law, and freedom of religion.

Here is the part Christians cannot keep ignoring. If we refuse to engage, someone else will gladly fill that vacuum. Islamists are engaged. The radical left is engaged. They are organized, disciplined, and motivated. Many Christians are not.

When Christians retreat from politics, they do not stay neutral, they surrender ground.

Minneapolis, ICE, and the Political Power Play

Minneapolis is politically on fire right now. Not because ICE exists, but because local leadership has decided that federal immigration enforcement will be treated like an occupying army. You are watching mobs interfere with lawful operations, surround agents, block roads, and escalate chaos in broad daylight.

Since December, ICE has arrested more than 2,500 people in Minnesota, according to government statements. The media wants you focused on slogans, not details. So ask the obvious question. Who are they arresting. The answer you will hear from the spin machine is always the same. They avoid the specifics and demonize the badge.

What is driving this resistance is not compassion. It is power. It is vote harvesting. It is demographic destiny. It is leadership that believes a growing dependent voting bloc secures permanent control, even if that comes at the cost of public safety and basic order.

I want to be careful here and clear. Not every immigrant is a criminal. Not every person in a community is participating in fraud. But when leaders protect fraud networks, when shell companies and ghost addresses thrive, when a young investigator with a phone can walk into a building and expose what state leadership ignored for decades, you are not looking at “misunderstanding.” You are looking at complicity.

And the street-level hostility is not theoretical. Look at what happened to activists who tried to ask questions in Minneapolis. Look at how quickly a mob forms when someone puts a spotlight on a suspicious business listing. That is what happens when a city is trained to treat accountability as “hate.”

The left does not protect these systems because they love the people, they protect them because they need the votes.

The Bigger Chessboard: Greenland, Iran, and a Wake Up Call to the Church

While America fights internally, the world keeps moving. Greenland is not a joke. It is strategic. Rare earth minerals matter. Missile defense matters. The Arctic matters. China and Russia are looking for footholds, and Denmark cannot realistically defend that territory without American power backing it.

Trump’s posture is simple. Negotiate from strength. Use leverage. Force the table. The media always tries to turn strategy into hysteria, but the question is not, “Will we invade Greenland.” The question is, “Do we understand the world we are in.”

Then look at Iran. The Islamic Republic is on the brink, and the regime responds the way Islamist regimes always respond when they feel threatened. Brutality. Executions. Internet blackouts. Mass intimidation. Families paying a “bullet tax” to retrieve bodies. That is not a civilization. That is a terror state with religious language.

The West has a choice. Speak clearly. Support freedom. Or repeat the mistakes of 2009, when we watched a movement rise and then left it to be crushed. If Iran falls, Hamas loses funding. Hezbollah loses support. The Houthis weaken. The axis collapses. That matters for Israel, for the Middle East, and for American security.

Now bring this back home. Christians, this is why voting matters. This is why school boards matter. This is why local elections matter. If you will not show up, do not act surprised when your state leadership cuts cooperation with ICE, when your cities normalize chaos, and when your institutions bend toward ideologies that openly reject biblical truth.

If we will not speak with conviction, the culture will keep discipling our children for us.

If you want the full breakdown in my voice, plus the bigger connections the media will not touch, watch the episode and share it with someone who still thinks this is all just politics.
