And what are they doing to prevent another Tashfeen Malik from coming into this country? This is an issue at the heart of the debate we're having right now over immigration into this country. And Glenn Beck is just back from overseas where he's been looking into Europe's refugee crisis.
GLENN BECK, THE BLAZE FOUNDER: How are you, Megyn?
KELLY: Glenn beck is the number one "New York Times" bestselling author and founder of The Blaze. Glenn, I'm very well.
BECK: Good.
KELLY: Thank you for being here. I want to start with breaking news that you yourself just made. Tell us where you just got back from and what you just did.
BECK: I just got back from Iraq. I was in Iraq. I was in Slovakia and Sweden. We have a team in about ten different countries and we are trying to bring Iraqi Christians out of the Middle East with something called the Nazarene fund. We raised $12 million to do it. Our vetting is far superior to the United States, the U.N. or the EU. And I will tell you about that if you care to know. But just a few minutes ago, our first plane of Iraqi Christians has just landed and it is in Slovakia, in a place called Koshida (ph), and we are thrilled that they are safe and they are actually going to a mass here in just about two hours from now to celebrate the blessings that Christ has given them. It is really remarkable to me, Megyn, to see what's going on in the United States and to see how the hoops that people jump through when we do have people in crisis.
We have people that are -- these people are in real trouble. As this plane took off earlier today, it was targeted by ISIS. When I was there on Sunday night, we were receiving reports, we had to have the whole area blocked off by the army because they were going to take a vehicle bomb and blow up the church and the gathering that we were at last night. Or I mean, on Sunday night. It is very, very volatile. These people are targeted. And it's easy to vet them. All you have to do is ask the pastors and the priests, do you know these people? How long have they been Christians?
Because there are zero Christians that are members of ISIS. In fact, our vetting process is so strong, another country has asked us, they were about to bring in a group of Christian, so-called Christian refugees into their country, they called Slovakia and said we understand you've been working with the Nazarene Fund. Can you have them look? Because we just have an inkling this isn't right. We sent our team over and we asked them very specific questions that I'm not going to get into right now, because I don't want to tip off the hand.
KELLY: But your point is, it can be done.
BECK: Yes.
KELLY: And they're not doing it, Glenn.
BECK: Correct.
KELLY: What I think is interesting is, you've gone over, you went over there, you took matters into your own hands, you didn't wait for government. You got private donations. You swooped in. You helped a bunch of Christians. You didn't bring him back here to the United States. You brought them to a place where you're going to try to help him assimilate and start a new life. Back here at home, we have no such ambitions Glenn, it's not going that way. Not only that but the process we have in place is allowing people who want to blow us up into the country. You raise the example of Sweden and the question about whether we're talking about a fundamental transformation to our society if we don't get serious about our screening procedures.
BECK: I just was over there to do a documentary on Sweden and what is happening over in Europe. Sweden, the Swede will be the minority within 15 years. And if you listen to the people in Sweden, they are begging the government and the EU exactly the same thing. This is not unique. What's happening with Donald Trump is not unique. It is happening all over the west. The people of Sweden know, we are headed towards fascism. Because the government is not listening to the people. They are not doing things that are full of common sense. All of our vetting right now for these refugees that are being jammed down everybody's throat in the west, and I believe is a Trojan horse, is being jammed down the throats by the EU, the United States, and the U.N.
They have quotas. They have jammed it down, and I'm telling you, Megyn, the group that we found that another country asked us, could you just look at these, when we asked those specific questions, we found several Muslims that were posing as Christians. It's not that hard to figure this out. You just have to have a willingness to say, it is about Islam. There is a disease in Islam and it must be addressed and it must be spoken. If you're not willing to say it, you're not going to win a war.
KELLY: All right. That is where we'll going to pick it up with Glenn on the opposite side of this break. Because there is a real question about Islamists. Not Muslims who want to assimilate, who want to be American, who want to, you know, pledge fidelity to the U.S. constitution who was trying to get into this country, but Islamists. Who have no intention of assimilating. Trying to get into America. And what we are supposed to do with about that. He'll join us next with his thoughts on that and his reaction to Donald Trump's proposal to ban all Muslims from entering America. That's next.
Plus, a California college student described as a Muslim extremists stabbed four people last month while carrying an ISIS flag. So, why is no one calling this terror? We'll investigate. Still ahead.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
KELLY: Breaking tonight. New polls show that Donald Trump is picking up steam with Republican voters. Up by nearly 20 percent on his closest competitor Ted Cruz according to a national CBS News "New York Times" poll. Thirty five percent for Trump, Cruz next is 16 percent. And in the key primary state of North Carolina, Trump is up by 20 percent over his closest competitor, Ben Carson. Both of these polls taken mostly before Mr. Trump made his controversial comments about a ban on all Muslims entering the U.S., but some of the polling data suggest his numbers only went up after he made that proposal on Monday.
Back with us now, The Blaze Founder Glenn Beck. Glenn, good to see you.
BECK: Good to see you.
KELLY: So, I know you're not a Donald Trump fan, but this proposal is supported by a lot of Americans. A lot of Republicans. Rasmussen says, 66 percent of likely Republican voters favor a temporary ban on all Muslims.
BECK: Forty one percent -- I'm sorry, 49 percent of all Democrats favor a registration of all Muslims as well. Twenty one percent of all Democrats want to see Jews and Christians registered as well. There is a very dangerous thing that I've been talking about for a very long time. First the caliphate. The caliphate happens and then it destabilizes Europe and the rest of the Western world. The economy is in very rough shape all around the world. It seems a discontent throughout the western world. Had been sewn. No one is listening. What happens is you get a very strong progressive or a strong communist fascistic sort of leader that comes to the fray and says, I will solve your problems for you.
And no one even stops to listen to what the real answer is. Not comparing anybody to Adolf Hitler, but let's just look at history. When Adolf Hitler did it, if you read my inkomfe (ph), he spelled it all out. But the people didn't want to listen to that. They just wanted somebody to solve their problems. You heads towards a demagogue. And if it's not Donald Trump, the next guy will be worse than Donald Trump. This is the worst thing that we can do. But I predicted and promised America, if you don't stop and anchor yourself to the constitution, you're going to have a progressive either left or right that will engage in demagoguery and will be in real trouble.
Remember, in the progressive world of Woodrow Wilson, we rounded up Germans. In the progressive world of FDR, we rounded up Japanese. In the progressive world of today, we will round up Muslims if we don't stop, take a breath, and look at what we really truly believe. And that our government doesn't start acting and behaving like people who actually want to defend the constitution of the United States.
KELLY: Uh-hm. What do you make of, you know, how much support he has, Glenn, among the Republican electorate?
BECK: I really think he's got much of his support is also from Liberals. If you look at Independents, which I think most people would consider themselves today, Independents, tired of both parties, 67 percent, I believe, is afraid of him. And I think you should be afraid of Donald Trump. I think there is a group of progressives in America, both left and right, progressive is not a democratic disease, it is a disease on both, that just want to win. And they would support the same policies that Barack Obama did if it was their guy doing it.
And that's what I think is happening, that's coupled with, he is speaking the truth in some regard. He has diagnosed the problem. He has not come up with a viable solution. He is just saying the things that everybody says. He's right. He's right. We are in trouble. The president of the United States, Congress, in both parties, quite honestly, they are either dumb, delusional, or they are complicit in the destruction of the constitution and the way of the west. It doesn't matter which one it is. I personally have my own opinion on what it is it. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's dangerous.
KELLY: Glenn Beck. Great to see you and we'll see you again next week.
BECK: Good to see you. Thank you very much.
KELLY: Well, we are also hearing tonight from a whistleblower. A former DHS employee who reached out to THE KELLY FILE saying, he was working on a surveillance project that might have tipped the Feds off to this very attack we saw in San Bernardino but that the administration pulled the plug on his project roughly three years ago. He joins us live. Don't miss this. Just ahead.
Plus, a top aide to Osama bin Laden is now out there in a new video, encouraging Jihadist to attack the west, wherever possible. If that's not bad enough, we had the guy in custody until the administration decided to release him from Gitmo just a couple of years back, with assurances we didn't need to worry. Senator Ted Cruz is next on that.

No he just likes reading his own BS.
