Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani told Newsmax’s Finnerty that the nation cannot win the fight against Islamist terror if we refuse to name it, bluntly warning, “If you can’t identify your enemy, you can’t defeat your enemy.” His words landed like a wake-up call on a network marking the solemn anniversary of America’s worst terrorist attack, reminding viewers that clarity of purpose is not optional when the stakes are survival.
Newsmax scheduled Giuliani among the headliners for its 9/11 coverage, and his segment was framed as more than nostalgia — it was a sober admonition that America’s memory of that day must remain sharp if we expect to remain safe. The channel made clear it was dedicating major airtime to first responders and leaders who lived through the horror, and Giuliani’s appearance underscored the network’s insistence on confronting the root causes of the violence.
On Finnerty Giuliani didn’t mince words about modern threats, even saying he believes Mayor Zohran Mamdani should not appear at Ground Zero ceremonies this year, a stance he tied to broader concerns about political movements seeking to impose foreign laws and values here at home. Whether you agree or disagree with his conclusions, Giuliani’s contention forces a hard conversation about symbolism, loyalty, and what we accept from public officials representing our cities.
This isn’t idle fearmongering — it’s a practical argument about security and cultural cohesion. Giuliani warned of an organized effort to advance Islamist influence in American institutions, a claim that deserves scrutiny rather than dismissal; the alternative is complacency, and complacency cost nearly 3,000 lives on a clear September morning. Conservatives must insist that we study motives, doctrines, and organizations honestly instead of sanitizing language to suit political niceties.
Too many in power have substituted virtue-signaling for vigilance, trading the hard work of homeland security for headline-friendly gestures and theatrical apologies. New York and other big cities saw fragile law-and-order balances erode in recent years, and when remembrance becomes mere ritual without policy change, the next generation will pay the price. Americans who remember what was lost should demand leadership that honors victims by protecting the living.
If patriotic Americans take Giuliani’s warning seriously, the response is straightforward: restore common-sense security, secure the border, fund first responders, and refuse to let ideology blind us to hostile movements that seek our undoing. That is not hatred; it is stewardship — protecting our families, our freedoms, and the memory of those who died because someone once decided to attack us. No one who loves this country should shrink from naming threats or from taking the actions necessary to defeat them.
We owe the fallen more than ceremonies and hashtags; we owe them a country that learns, remembers, and acts. Let this anniversary be a bridge from grief to resolve — a moment when hardworking Americans insist our leaders stop playing politics with national security and start protecting the nation with the clarity and courage the moment demands.
