Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, but to be young was very heaven. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

Welcome back to the show. There was a massive Senate debate last night in Michigan between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers. It came down to which country is a greater threat to the United States, Iran or Israel? Abdul had a lot of trouble answering. Before we get to that, though, the public execution. This is the big story. It's what everyone's talking about. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announcing that Nidal Hassan, the perpetrator of the worst mass shooting on a military base ever, at least at the time of the shooting, 2009 murdered 14 people, injured more than 30 others. He was a Palestinian Army Major and Psychiatrist, obviously a Muslim terrorist. This guy has been waiting on Death Row for a while, the trial and the execution handled by the military rather than by the civilian courts. Finally, he is going to be executed, and the military has made this decision to make it a public execution, one, not behind closed doors, and two, to live stream the whole grizzly affair. Here is Pete Hegseth.

Pete Hegseth (4:30)

Execution by firing squad.

Army Major betrays his country, radical Islamist, kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood. Of course we're going to do it at Fort Hood. We're going to do it on a Thursday, we're going to do it at one o'clock, which is when he did it, and it's going to be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad. It hadn't been since World War II since we've done that. I kind of like the mentality we had in World War II, which was when?

Understand when the enemy attacks you, you need to stand your ground. So it was a radical Islamist terror attack. Remember what Obama called it? Workplace violence? That's what we're up against. That's the world view we're up against is workplace violence.
