## Resource

Is Western civilization sleepwalking into a crisis it refuses to name? In this powerful episode of The StaksCast, Erick Stakelbeck sits down with BlazeTV nationally syndicated host and commentator, Steve Deace, at Turning Point USA's annual AmFest 2025 for a no-holds-barred conversation about the growing Islamic challenge to Western civilization. Deace breaks down why Islam is fundamentally incompatible with the West, how mass migration is reshaping Europe and America, and why the U.S. must stop exporting Western values abroad — while importing radical ideologies at home. The conversation also tackles: - President Trump’s Middle East strategy and why it worked - Why Israel serves as a “canary in the coal mine” for the West - Qatar, Hamas, and the danger of Islamic propaganda This is a must-watch discussion about faith, freedom, geopolitics, and the future of the West.
