The claim is the speaker's opinion that America faces six greatest threats, which is a characterization rather than a checkable fact, and no source evaluates whether these are threats.

An ad makes this claim. It counts as passed on, not against the post.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… Now there is no network chairman controlling our screens. If you're mad as hell because you've been watching Scott Pressler, why aren't why isn't Scott Pressler being held accountable? Folks, I believe America is under assault, not from some foreign enemy, but from within: false peace, open borders, socialism, the war on the family and the sanctity of life, the persecution of the church, and the rise of Islam and anti-Semitism. And I think these are the six greatest threats facing this republic right now. Pastor Matt Hagey from Hagey Ministries lays them all out clearly, biblically, without apology, in his brand new book, The Assault on Freedom. …

What we found

Context. The post (posted 2026-10-23) says 'I think these are the six greatest threats facing this republic right now,' and the extracted claim matches this wording without adding details.

Context. The Jhm.org product page and a Cornerstone Church sermon listing describe Matt Hagee's book as 'America's Seven Greatest Threats,' which differs from the post's count of six but is a promotional framing rather than evidence about the threats themselves.[4][5]

Context. Sources on the individual themes (for example, the Institute for Faith and Culture and American Renewing pieces on Islamo-leftism and socialism) are advocacy commentary, and none is an authoritative fact-check or record establishing or refuting that these are the nation's six greatest threats.[6][7]

Context. No fact-checker in the sources (Full Fact, Reuters, Snopes) examined this claim or the six-threats framing.[1][2][3]
