One of the biggest stories this weekend, at least for me, was the slaughter of Christians all around the world. What is really going on in Syria? We'll tell you about it. It's complex and kind of hard to kind of hard to figure out who's who but once you do, you realize and I'm gonna try to give you that I get it now moment here in just a second so you can follow that and maybe get involved in, in helping. Also. There's a, there is a Ton of stuff going on with Donald Trump, the tsa. I can't wait to tell you about that nightmare. Also, people are upset about his, you know, tariffs and the way he's treating these loyal, loyal people in the government. Okay, well, let's talk about that. I'll try to explain this in a way that you can explain it to your friends who don' what he's doing. We'll give you that. We begin in 60 seconds. Stand by. All right, you're out fishing and fishing on the side of the lake with your grandkids. Beautiful early summer day. Birds are singing in a tree. The kids are giggling. Life is feeling pretty great. And then it hits you. Not a bite on the line, but pain in your back or your knees.

There are still a lot of Assad loyalists in the traditional strongholds within the country. Saad's been overthrown. He was overthrown by some people that are not really actually our good friend. In fact, the guy who's now saying he's president, he's better known as Al Juwani. He went to join Al Qaeda during the Iraq war. He's buddies with Zirqawi Al Zarqawi, the Iraqi, or I'm sorry, the Al Qaeda leader in Iraq. He led the Al Qaeda affiliate in Syria during the Syrian civil war. He's not credible. He's a terrorist. Okay, so now that we have that out of line, one more thing, Sada. Assad was a really bad guy. Wait a minute, Glenn. There's gotta be one of the two. I just live in this world of black and white. There's no third option? No, there is. Both of them suck. Kind of like Zelensky and Putin. Which one do you love? I don't love either of them, but you have to. You have to pick one of the two. Now. They both suck. All right, so here's the thing. The Assad in his family, they were Alawite. They were minority, traditional Assad loyalists, all of them. But they're not real die hards. And there are Christians living in these areas as well. The terror group that now runs the country is moving into those areas, and they're clashing with the loyalists. The people getting caught in the middle are Christians. Okay? Now, I'm sure that, you know, the killing is more, you know, than random. You know, they hate Christians and anybody else that doesn't agree with them, they're forcibly meant to convert. What? Converter die. Kind of an old story in the Middle East. And I'm. I'm mentioning the loyalists here and the connection to Assad in the past to show you that it's more complicated than some of the social media posts that came out this weekend. But it's still a very big problem. But the presence of the remaining loyalists doesn't take away from the civilian deaths. Cause they're just slaughtering these people. They're just slaughtering them. Okay? Many are, if not all are minority groups, like Alawites and Christians. But, you know, this is the thing you do, I guess, if you're a Muslim Islamicist, you know, you're. You were once with Al Qaeda. I kind of think you're always with Al Qaeda. And this is the way they did it. They persecuted the Christians during this Syrian civil war. And, you know, now they're saying, we're. We're so inclusive now. Now, now we'll. We'll cut anybody's head off. I o. Okay, that's accurate. There you go. And whenever this happens, bad people gain power and Christians lose their heads. They were Al Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, so no matter what they say to the international public, you know, we're all for inclusion, new future, diversity, blah, blah, blah. Do you really think the former leader of the Syrian Al Qaeda group is all about diversity? No, no, he's seriously. Oh, he's. He's a big DEI guy. No, he's a big die guy. So we know where this is eventually going to lead. And then you add the sectarianism in Syria. It goes back to the fall of the Ottoman Empire. I love all Ottoman Empire talk. It's so sexy. Oh, you could talk to me. About the Ottoman Empire all night. I had one at the end of my grandfather's chair once. The left's Arab Spring is the latest version of what we're doing. Okay. And it's impacting the former Al Qaeda group that is now running Syria. It's So, you know, HTs, they're the people running. But the Assad family, the Alawites, they would have never gotten any power if it wasn't for the French. Oh, it's a sex pico. Oh. You know what's better than talking about the Ottoman Empire? The Sykes Pico Compact. Oh, yeah. Oh, that agreement was so sexy in modern times. Here's what. Here's what we keep doing. And this is what we all have to learn from. All right? We are now living in a progressive era and have for the last hundred years. Let me ask you something. How have things been going in the last hundred years? Well, they were great. We had World War I and then World War II. Okay. Okay. All right. Might want to tell you something. What started World War II again? It was Hitler. I know. Hitler was the thing that we all look at and go, very bad. And again, he was very bad. But how did he become the guy that everybody in Germany loved? I remember Woodrow Wilson and his beast. His giant peace picnic in the back of a train car in France. That's how it happened. Okay? It all comes back to Woodrow Wilson. So this is the same thing over and over and over again. And the thing we have to realize, Assad, not good. Not good. Why? Why was he. Why was he the guy? Because we, as in the west, put him there. Why would we do that if he was such a bad guy? Because we like bad guys in the Middle East. We like sectarians that are looking and saying, I gotta. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna keep everybod unbalanced so the west can have their way. That's what happened, and that's what's happening again. We used to like people like Assad. I never did. Not a good thing. We used to like people like Assad until. Until what? Until we got Obama and then Clinton and then Biden. That's why we keep doing this over and over and over again. You know, I gotta tell you, I wanted to get. I wanted to do some real sexy talk about the Ottoman Empire. And then I just got it sidetracked. I just got sidetracked. I'm sorry. Hit the porn music. Because this. Oh, no. I'm gonna. I'm about. I'm taking you back to 1915. Oh, yeah, baby. The young Turks, they were so hot, they were drunk on power. And you know what happens then? Well, they. They kill 1.5 Armenian Christians. 1.5 million. That's usually what happens. And then the porn kind of goes bad. All of a sudden, you're like, wow, there's a lot of dead bodies around here. Yeah, well, that's progressive pornography for you. Men, women, children marched into the desert, starved, beaten, and then slaughtered. But just 1.5 million Christians? Why? Because they wouldn't bend the knee to the regime that demanded their souls. Let me give it to you in today's language. Islamicists versus Christians. I think I've seen this movie before. Yeah. Now, history calls it the Armenian genocide. The Turks don't. They're like. Genocide. What are you talking. The United States won't even call it that. But it's a. It's a real scar. It's a. It's a lesson. Uh, and this one. I don't care if the history book writes it this way. All kind of etched in blood there in the desert. Now, fast forward to the 1930s. What happened? Is he going to talk about the Nazis again? Mm, he just loves the Nazis. Nazi Germany rises. Who becomes a target? Jews. Six million Jews snuffed out, not because of what they did, but because of who they were. Hitler said he knew he could listen carefully. He knew he could get away with it because the world didn't care when the Turks tried to kill all of the Christian Armenians. Wait a minute. That might be something we should avoid. It happens over and over and over again. Power shifts. Ideologic ideologies clash. And then who pays the price? The innocent go back at Syria. December 2024. Assad falls. And this new guy, the. The h. T. S group led by Abu Mohammed al Juwani. I love that guy. Who doesn't think that Abu would be a great guy. Wasn't he. Wasn't he in that cartoon with Robin Williams? No, that was the monkey. The world was cheering for a moment. Oh, this is great. The tyrant's gone. Yeah. Yeah. And then he pulls out his big sword. Okay, the executions. First ones, 13 dead. Maybe 58. 13, 58. Who's really counting? Then last week, 311 Alawites. And they're saying now a thousand Christians. We don't know. We don't know because who's telling the truth? Who actually is telling the truth? Because it seems like there's a lot of bad people involved on all sides. But here's what's not new here's what we can confirm. Killing. Lots and lots of killing. It's not new. Same playbook. When Islamicists take over isis, Boko Haram. Now, HTS pattern repeats. Christians, Yazidis, minorities. Given a choice, convert, run or die. Now let me paint you a picture from the last five years. Nigeria, Boko Haram. They killed over 12,000 Christians since 2020. Did you know that? Did you know that? 12,000 Christians since 2020. I know, but we had, we had Joe Biden. It was almost as bad. No, no, I don't think it was. Don't think it was. They kidnapped thousands more. Kids, girls as young as 12. They're now slaves. Being raped every day, forced into marriages they didn't choose, but Allah said they had to get married. In Iraq, post ISIS, the Christian population has gone from 1.5 million to under 200,000. How'd that happen? Syria's own Christians, once a million strong, down to 300,000. And that was before the latest chaos. Now here's what's crazy. All of these people that are being murdered and being chased out, I'm not hearing about those people being accepted in Europe because I know it's refugees, but the only refugees I ever really hear about are the ones whose leaders are chopping Christians heads off in the Middle East. So why are they the ones we're accepting and not the Christians that are actually losing their heads? I don't know. In 2021, 5,000, 621 Christians were killed worldwide for their faith, most under Islamic hands. It's not a statistic. This is becoming a growing graveyard now. So what happens when these groups take over killing? You know, we have the Nazarene Fund. You know what, that's from the. The Arabic N for Nazarene. They would put that on the doors of anybody who believed in. In Jesus, you'd pay a tax, you'd convert, or you'd die. Churches have been burned, crosses torn down, families torn apart. Slaves. Actual slaves. Oh, come on. I would. In the 1850s, I would have been on the right side of that. What are you doing now? What are you doing now? Sold in markets just like the Dark Ages, just. But not as bad as it was in South Carolina. Yeah, yeah, just as bad. Just as bad. But I know, I know your friends, they all would be fighting against that right now. Ooh. Except they're not. Here is the thing that you really need to know about this, whether it is after World War I or Obama, Biden, Hillary. Hey, do we have that classic Hillary thing? Because let me Just give you this. So Obama gets in and he's like, hey, the Arab Spring. His USAID gets together with Facebook and they start to plant the seeds of the Arab Spring. When that one was done, because it was so spontaneous. Then they decided, let's overthrow Libya. And remember, remember what Hillary said came.
