Jamie Glazov joins Hearts of Oak to discuss his updated book United in Hate: The Left's Romance with Tyranny, Terror, and Hamas (foreword by Ambassador Mike Huckabee). He draws powerful parallels between the Left’s historical euphoria over Stalinist, Maoist, and Castro’s killing fields and their reaction to 9/11 and the October 7th Hamas attacks, exposing the shared death-cult impulses, anti-Semitism, martyrdom culture, and spiritual battle that unite radical leftists with Islamist terror. A sobering look at the ideological threats to freedom and the West.
