Just hours into the New Year, we were reminded that the Jihad against the West is not over. It’s not even taking a winter break.

A man inspired by the Islamic State drove a pickup truck into a crowd in the French Quarter of New Orleans, murdering at least 15 people and injuring dozens more. Hours later in New York City, demonstrators chanted: “There is only one solution – intifada revolution!” and “No war on Iran!”

Meanwhile, Iran’s ruler, Ali Khamenei must be pondering whether Hezbollah and Hamas, two of his proxy terrorist militias that have been decimated by Israel, can be built back better.

Also on his mind: What it means that Syria, once his satrapy, is now under Turkey’s influence.

Host Cliff May is joined by his FDD colleague Behnam Ben Taleblu to discuss these and related issues.
