Russia-China Show of Force 00:07:34
benny johnson
So, what's happening here in Iran exactly?
President Trump just posted this on Truth Social.
No deal with Iran.
Unconditional surrender.
After that, selection of great and acceptable leaders.
We and many of our wonderful, brave allies and partners will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making the economy bigger, better, stronger than ever.
Iran will have a great future.
Make Iran great again, MIGA.
Oh no.
unidentified
All right.
benny johnson
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
You know, they're using laser weapons, right?
Do you know it's like now they practice in humiliation, right?
With Iran.
Like they've used, and we don't need to go into it, but it's wild.
They're using they're using the iron beam.
We have that clip, Alex.
Yesterday, we saw laser weapons being used from naval platforms.
Please grab these clips quickly.
There is a show of force that's happening in the region, unlike anything else.
We've now used lasers to shoot their munitions out from space, to shoot their drones out from naval platforms, and to shoot down rockets and bombs using directed energy weapons.
Obviously, understand how terrifying this is for an enemy that doesn't have these because these rockets take a lot of putting together.
And if you can blast it out of the sky for about a dollar a shot, which is what these directed energy weapons, no limiting principle, no reload, 150 kilowatts of directed energy that just blows the rockets out of the sky, then you're helpless.
Not only are we doing that again from ground platforms, we're doing it from naval platforms.
Give me the Navy one, dude.
It's so awesome.
So this is allegedly the iron beam in Israel.
And then the naval platforms are stunning, frankly.
It's called the Helos laser.
Super cool.
That's been, this has now been used.
There you go.
unidentified
Button.
benny johnson
There you go, guys.
There we go.
That's the one.
Get that.
The Helos laser has now officially been used in order to, and there's video of it.
These are just the images.
Used to blow Iranian drones out of the sky.
They launch their drones and then they disintegrate after being launched and they fall harmlessly to the ground.
What's happening?
Well, I'll show you.
And this is how it was explained to me.
Check this out.
How much of the Iranian military is funded by Russia and China?
Iran's engaged in military cooperations and armed deals with Russia and China for decades and driven by Western sanctions, limiting Iran's access to suppliers.
The exact amount or total value is secretive, but with Russia, they've done billions of dollars of arms sales.
The latest deal was signed in December.
Wow.
Manned portable air defense launchers.
Look at that.
2,500 missiles.
Look at that.
They have billions of dollars of other drones, missiles, other weapons, and technology platforms.
Russia is pretty much running their intel operations.
Same with China.
China-Iran military ties are limited.
They're more cautious compared to Russia.
But the key framework was a cooperative agreement, joint exercises, and defense sharing and intelligence sharing.
China investing $400 billion in Iran for military operations.
You know, it's the same thing with Venezuela.
You can see here, Venezuela relied heavily on Russia and China as an arms supplier.
Look at that.
$11 to $20 billion in total armed purchases for Venezuela.
What is happening right now is President Trump is fighting an actual war with Russia and China for world domination.
This is how it was explained to me.
This is the data that I was sent when I asked.
And this is what's going on here.
President Trump is taking, stealing the prom queens from the bullies in the high school and or from the competing schools, right?
Dayton the competing schools, prom queen, and is melting down, clashing the tires of our rivals, proving that their air defense systems, technology, intel, that none of all of it's worthless.
He's doing it on a world stage so that everyone can see.
He's doing it as a practice in humiliation that everyone, the world watches and goes, wow, China and Russia are really bad partners.
We should probably not trust them.
They're untrustworthy partners.
They will not defend us.
They won't be there for us.
Their tech is garbage.
It will get melted down and discombobulated if Trump decides to snatch us.
Watch Cuba fall.
It'll be the exact same thing.
America's gaining territory, grabbing up Greenland, like rolling throughout the world, like nobody's stopping them.
And more importantly, Russia and China are not coming to the defense of the people that they claim to be their friends, allies, and partners.
That is what's going on.
And it is a massive play in order to test and to humiliate, in a proxy sense, Russia and China.
And the big one is yet to come.
I guess we'll see.
The big one's probably going to be Taiwan.
This is why Elon Musk says the stage is set when it comes to China.
A very ominous post from Elon here.
The stage is set.
A reminder that Elon Musk posted this in response to what America is eventually going to do to China.
So that's what's happening.
And that's why Trump discombobulates people.
And this has very, very little to do with China.
I'm sorry.
It says very, very little to do with Iran, quite frankly.
They're just pawns on the chessboard.
And the kings are scared.
Understanding Juries in Political Cases 00:15:46
benny johnson
The queens are scared.
Who's the king of the board, ladies and gentlemen?
Well, you should want it to be America.
I want it to be America.
We should collectively want it to be America.
And that's what's happening.
So, is it America first?
Kind of depends on the way you look at it, ladies and gentlemen.
America first, though, would be deporting as many criminal aliens as possible back to their homelands.
This should obviously flow directly.
Mark Wade Mullen should be a man who does that.
This should flow directly from the current crisis in the world.
Also, President Trump getting like resetting the globalist corruption that wrought out DC, like the Joe Biden auto pen.
That has now been, that investigation was now put on hold.
Why?
Well, Julie Kelly, our dear friend, this program has done some excellent reporting on it.
And as she always has, nobody is better at like sort of understanding and decoding the left-wing ecosystem of judicial decay in Washington, D.C.
And she has some bombshell reporting out for why and what may be the biggest legal hurdles for the Trump administration to enact America first policies here at home domestically, which, of course, is critical, critical to maintaining this movement.
Julie Kelly, friend of the show, back after a little break.
We're excited to have her.
unidentified
here we go.
benny johnson
Julie, welcome back to the program.
And man, it's been a while.
And I just feel good to have you back.
julie kelly
I felt like I was on a naughty list that I made someone upset, which, you know, would not be unusual.
So I'm just very happy.
Very happy to hear from you.
benny johnson
Not around here.
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me, Julie?
Please.
julie kelly
Very sensitive little flower.
benny johnson
I know.
That's very insecure.
Seems like it when you get to stare down Jack Smith and all these other sniveling left-wing reporters in these DC courthouses.
Okay, so there has been, like, I would like to talk about two different rulings.
There's been kind of a positive ruling about deportations out of the Supreme Court, which has been positive.
But then there's been the dropping of the Joe Biden auto pen.
And you sort of had an underlying understanding of why that happened and the structural problems that the Trump administration is facing in Washington, D.C. when it comes to bringing cases to trial.
What's going on here?
julie kelly
So, Benny, as you know, more than anyone, really, because you had me on your show for four years when I was at that courthouse, maybe on a monthly basis, covering not just trials and court proceedings against J Sixers, but also the president's case brought by special counsel Jack Smith related to the events of January 6th.
So, Benny, I have seen probably more than anyone on our side exactly how these, well, old prosecutors, but more importantly, these judges conduct themselves and their brazen partisanship, even Trump appointees, certainly Reagan appointees, George W. Bush appointees.
The crisis in our judiciary is not relegated only to Democrat appointees.
In fact, in some cases, arguably, it's worse from Republican appointees.
But, Benny, and I'm going to have a piece up on my sub stack later today, declassified with Julie Kelly from a January 6th criminal defense attorney who has been working in the system for decades.
And I spoke with a few J6 defense attorneys.
Are somewhere between just outraged, flabbergasted, and amused at what's happening now in the DC courthouse related to DC grand juries systematically denying, bringing a no-true bill, that's the technical term, meaning they are denying a criminal indictment sought by the Trump DOJ, and in this case, DC U.S. Attorney Janine Pirro.
But also then, in the miraculous instance that one of these cases gets to trial, that individual who is charged by the Trump DOJ is acquitted and exonerated, especially, I should say, particularly in politically charged cases.
We saw that with the Subway sandwich thrower.
Remember, they had to downgrade the charges and then he was acquitted.
So, but I'd like to take some time after you jump in here to explain the grand jury process because most people don't understand it.
I know I didn't before I started covering J6.
And I think it's important.
That is the biggest obstacle that I think Janine Pirow and the Trump DOJ are facing in Washington right now.
benny johnson
Yeah, of course.
Please go there because it's something that you have to have to have a functional society.
You can't have places where there are unique privileges that allow you to commit crimes and walk away.
And if you have districts like that, if you have places like that, like if there is a place like that for a Republican, I would be completely against it.
There shouldn't be any place where you can go and like the subway sandwich thrower.
It's like a hilarious video, but it doesn't matter.
You committed assault, right?
Like this is assault on a federal officer.
This is worse than most of what happened during January 6th for most of the J-6ers.
There's a worse assault on law enforcement than most J-6ers.
Is that correct, Julie?
julie kelly
I would say probably at least more than half because the statute, Benny, is interfering, impeding, or assaulting a federal officer.
Now, this could be any federal officer.
In the J6 cases, again, they weaponized that statute to mean a police officer, including Capitol Police and DC Metro Police, which I'm not even sure they're federal officers, but no one bothered to really dig into that.
Nonetheless, 300 plus charged with any variance of under that statute.
But I will say, comparably, you had J-6ers who threw water bottles at police officers that day, who were subjected to armed FBI raids, pre-trial detention, and then, of course, immediately convicted by DC juries, sentenced to years in prison, and in some cases, not necessarily water bottle cases, but others to terrorism enhancement.
So that's why these J6 defense attorneys, and of course, J6ers themselves, you know, are just stunned to see this very clear 180-degree pivot from judges and DC grand juries and trial juries versus what we saw for four years when it was the Biden DOJ presenting these charges and potential indictments.
benny johnson
So how does this grand jury work?
I mean, again, like you put it on paper, you put it on a paper.
A individual throws it with the intention to hurt or harm a food item at a law enforcement officer.
One American, because of their political identity, gets the book thrown at them and will go to prison.
And pretrial detention, life destroyed, some of them commit suicide.
This American that did the exact same crime gets off free.
Okay, so how does that happen?
julie kelly
Well, how does it happen?
Because you have a grand jury and then a trial jury pool made up of at least 93% Democrats.
But let's kick back to the grand jury process.
A grand jury process, number one, is completely one-sided.
It is only the government presenting to a grand jury, maybe 16 to 23, 24 individuals.
The grand jury sits for 12 to 18 months.
So again, this is the difference between a grand jury and then a trial jury.
They operate in total secrecy, and it's one-sided in terms of the government presents the evidence, the government presents witnesses, the government can produce or suggest subpoenas that the grand jury can sign off on.
But whoever their target is can't defend themselves until after they're charged, of course, indicted and then headed to trial.
The other difference, and I think this is a real problem, and this is a systemic problem in our judicial system, especially when you have one side that's so hyper-partisan that will weaponize any angle of the legal judicial system to target the president, his associates, and his supporters, is there's no vetting of these grand jurors, Benny.
So rather than, you know, in trial juries, there's jury selection, there's voir dir applications that the potential jurors have to fill out.
They have to disclose any conflicts.
They have to disclose, you know, any partisan associations that they have.
Their husband works at the Department of Justice, although that was never disqualifying in the J6 trials, believe it or not.
And then the judge and both sides can kind of vet out who's going to sit on the trial jury.
That's not the case in a grand jury.
They are randomly selected.
Now, keep in mind, this is the DC courthouse run by Chief Judge Jeb Bosberg.
They are randomly selected and the criteria, to my understanding, is that you're a legal resident of Washington, D.C. You're 18 years old and you are registered to vote.
Now, what's the likelihood you're going to get a grand jury where the overwhelming majority, if not all of them, are Democratic voters who voted 92% for Joe Biden, 93% for Joe Biden in 2020, 92% for Kamala Harris in 2024.
Plus, you don't need a unanimous vote by a grand jury like you do in a trial jury.
You only need a majority of the members of that grand jury to either decline or sign off on an indictment.
So this is the real, I think, detailed obstacle for the DOJ and for Judge Janine Pirro in the Autopen investigation and previous investigations and indictments, and then certainly any moving forward that have to do with conduct within the city of Washington, D.C.
benny johnson
A couple of follow-up there.
One, I voted for President Trump in D.C.
So in the 2020 election, there was a, there was like maybe two votes for Trump in all of Washington, D.C.
That was my wife and I.
We wore our MAGA hats to the polling location.
julie kelly
Oh, wow, you're great.
benny johnson
We lived in an all-black neighborhood.
The aunties who were running the polling location took photos with us saying, wow, they're real Republicans, like we're zoo animals.
unidentified
That all happened.
benny johnson
And it was a joke.
It was like hilarious to them.
And, you know, we were in the endangered species.
I mean, soon after that, we were run out of town, you know, obviously.
And we got the hell out of there mainly for this exact reason, Julie.
You know, I watched January 6th and I said, if I spit out my gum, you know, on the sidewalk, like I'm going to go to prison.
Like, I won't be around for my kids.
Like that's like we have to leave for our own, you know, if I curb my car, you know, if I, if I park and like my wheels up on the curb a little bit, like I'm going to prison.
Like these people, they will be political.
It will be absolute political weaponization and horrors untold.
We left for this for exactly what you're talking about.
So like it just, I feel it in my bones, Julie, as you describe this.
My follow-up question to this is like, what the hell does the Trump administration do?
I mean, it's not exactly breaking news.
It's terrible to hear it broken down like this.
It means effectively a no-win situation.
You also alluded to maybe coaching.
Like there's like left-wing coaching going on in grand juries.
unidentified
Correct.
julie kelly
So there's an organization, I believe it's called Free DC, and I've posted about this as well, that it has held training seminars to instruct DC activist voters on this jury nullification process, on how you question or confront the government as they're presenting the evidence or witnesses, how you can maybe coax others into handing down this no-true bill, not signing off on the indictment.
So this is an active, and I'm not even sure that this is legal, but again, where are you going to investigate this and then bring charges?
But you have activists in Washington bragging about this, doing interviews about how they are coaching potential grand jurors and trial jurors on how to decline and be, you know, frustrate this process for the Trump Department of Justice.
I'm assuming this is happening in other areas as well, other cities.
I mean, I'm in Chicago right now.
The Trump DOJ also has a real problem here.
We certainly saw it in Minneapolis.
And you see the chief judge there, Patrick Schultz, who is a George W. Bush appointee, doing everything that he can to put up a wall between the Trump DOJ and the U.S. attorney there and any successes in those courtrooms in the city of Minneapolis.
So this is a real pervasive problem, but nothing like you will see in Washington because those politically cases of a political nature, the AutoPenn investigation, for example, when any of the alleged crimes happened in D.C., I believe my understanding is that any of that's the proper jurisdiction.
So you could talk to smarter people than I, what the options are, change of venue, judge has to sign off on it.
Jeb Bosberg is not going to let that happen, nor is any other judge in Washington.
So I really don't understand.
And Benny, this is why you and I talked about for years, defunding the DC federal courthouse.
We should not have a court system, legal judicial, investigative court system in DC that is only responsible for bringing federal investigations that happen in the nation's capital.
There's no need for that courthouse, federal courthouse, to be in existence.
But yet we see no movement by House Republicans or Senate Republicans to defund cut funding to the DC federal courthouse.
Certainly no movement on impeachment inquiries into, say, Jeb Bosberg or former Chief Judge Beryl Howell or anyone else.
So of course, they're a rogue.
They have been a rogue operation there and they will continue to be.
So because there were no consequences for what they did to the president, what they did to Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, what they did to almost 13, 1400 J6ers in that courthouse, now this is the revenge, the reverse revenge that they are getting against the Trump DOJ and Janine Piro's office.
Death Threats in Florida 00:04:08
benny johnson
What they did, what they would have done to me and you if given the opportunity.
And if we give them the opportunity again, this is why I'm not, I know it's fashionable to turn on Trump right now, you know, catch a clicks or whatever.
Like, you know, I'm not going to do it.
I actually, I've seen what these people are capable of.
unidentified
Yep.
benny johnson
And oh, by the way, they also funded the war in Ukraine, which I think is like far more pernicious and far more deadly and far more murderous and evil than what I've seen Trump do.
And I hate using that as a sliding scale, but it's not like you're not going to get like unpopular or controversial wars with the left, but you're also going to get transing of children and you and me in prison.
So yeah, this makes it pretty easy, you know, because you and I posted the wrong meme.
Julie, we posted the wrong meme.
They'll throw us in prison.
We've seen them do it.
It's not a joke.
julie kelly
Try walking in the DC courthouse several times with security there and prosecutors side eyeing you and others.
And I'm like, you know, oh, God, please just let me get out of this city.
benny johnson
We've been in that courtroom.
We've been in that courthouse, Julie.
We got lectures on our privilege.
We got in that courthouse.
People did death threats to us.
People did death.
People death threats to my wife and I.
And we got a lecture from the judge about our white privilege in the DC courthouse.
I'd have to go back in the paperwork and check.
I've stood in like blackjawed disbelief.
I said, we must leave.
And now, like, you know, there's going to be a trial here in Florida, a federal trial for people that also tried to, you know, threaten and kill my family.
And the Trump DOJ is actually prosecuting it and putting the person, hopefully behind bars.
julie kelly
Right.
benny johnson
So like, you know, that's the difference.
And I, you know, like for somebody to sit there and be like, you know, America versus Dad, burn your mag hats.
unidentified
Nope.
benny johnson
Like, I was like, I'm an adult, right?
Like, I'm not a child.
I'm an adult.
I can see things for what they are.
The world doesn't have to be perfect for me.
It's not my world exactly.
Like, I have to live in it.
And we can like, we can push for the things that we want.
You're not going to get 100% of what you want.
You're not a child.
Quit behaving like a child.
And like, remember how bad things were.
Like, how quickly people forget.
It's like crazy, man.
It's crazy.
unidentified
Yeah.
benny johnson
For people that actually had something to lose and were fighting through it all, I think maybe like it hits a little different.
unidentified
Yeah.
benny johnson
And sorry for the lecture.
I mean, I'm sorry.
It's just what you're talking about means a lot to me.
julie kelly
No, I think it's important because you have to underscore what your family has gone through in Washington and now in Florida and the different handling, like I saw the two cases against the president, the far different handling of the J6 case before Judge Tanya Chutkin in Washington versus Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida.
Well, of course, they've tried to demonize, who had significant death threats made against her as well.
So you will see the big difference disparity there that I did.
Now, I will say there appears to be a little hope perhaps in Florida.
So you have the U.S. attorney down there, Jason Kinonez, who is working with at least one grand jury on what we're told is a grand conspiracy case.
And of course, a lot of this prosecution handled in southern Florida, the raid of Mar-a-Lago, et cetera.
So that could be the basis for at least something.
And you're going to deal with a much more at least open-minded grand jury and open-minded trial jury pool if something does happen than you certainly will in Washington, D.C., because it's just not going to happen.
And it's frustrating, especially for people like us who covered this and saw this firsthand and had different experience than others in the Washington legal judicial system.
But look, people have to understand the reality here.
And you can't just throw stones at Attorney General Pambondi or Janine Pirro.
You have to understand what they are up against there.
Why Christians Face Persecution 00:13:29
julie kelly
And I certainly do.
And I hope that there's some remedy because, of course, time is running out.
benny johnson
Yes, I shared this meme.
The meme is like, DC federal judge overturns the killing of the Ayatollah.
unidentified
Right?
julie kelly
Return his body to Iran.
That would be Jeb Buster.
benny johnson
It's a joke.
It's become a joke.
julie kelly
It's turned those drones around.
benny johnson
Yep, that's right.
It's become a joke.
unidentified
Right.
benny johnson
Like over, yep, yep.
It makes them all, you know, unalives them, realives them.
I don't know.
Yeah, it's a total joke.
And it'd be nice.
It's nice to like hear it laid out.
We hope that they can find a solution because you're exactly right.
Like time is running out.
Julie Kelly, everybody follow Julie Kelly, her sub stack.
Julie Kelly declassified live.
And obviously, here's her sub stack.
Here's her website.
And here is her social media.
Obviously, so close to a million subscribers.
We're just going to round up.
We're feeling incredibly generous.
A million people subscribe to Julie Kelly here on X. Godspeed, Julie.
julie kelly
Thanks, Benny.
unidentified
You too.
julie kelly
Thanks.
benny johnson
Ladies and gentlemen, sorry for getting long-winded there.
I get emotional about this kind of stuff.
Representative Riley Moore joining us live right now.
The great Republican from West Virginia.
unidentified
Let's go.
benny johnson
Representative, thank you so much for joining us.
A very dramatic background.
unidentified
Look at that.
benny johnson
Oh, there we go.
riley moore
There will be light.
benny johnson
Let there be light.
You're fighting for light.
Nigerians, Christians, Christians throughout the world, quite frankly, under persecution.
Christians always are the ones who get persecuted, beheaded, slaughtered.
I fear and I pray for the Christians, obviously, in the Mideast right now.
They're always the ones who get trod under and nobody ever talks about them.
And it's evil.
It's wrong.
You're one of the few members of Congress.
You're a man of faith yourself that is actually talking about it.
You're focusing on Nigeria, but I'm sure all of like sort of ISIS, the ISIS Caliphate area of great concern to you.
Can you give us an update?
riley moore
Yeah, I mean, it's all of great concern to me.
I was actually at just a Coptic Christian event just a couple of weeks ago.
We were, I think many people have seen it, the 21 Martyrs short film that was made by Jonathan Rumi and some others.
If you haven't seen it, I would urge you to go watch it.
It's very interesting.
And, but yes, I'm focused on Nigeria.
But look, I've talked about it all over the world, Middle East, Africa, and not to forget our own country, because it's happening here as well.
benny johnson
Thank you.
riley moore
Christians are the most persecuted faith in the world, and it's like nobody cares generally.
I do, though.
And so flashback to the last administration, Catholics are getting investigated.
They're right-wing crazies if they're going to Latin Mass and things like that.
You literally had the FBI investigating people of faith under the Democratic administration.
But Nigeria, there, in my view, is a genocide going on.
It's a systematic killing of Christians in their ancestral homeland by Islamic militants, radicals.
And it's in that middle belt of the country.
And then up in the north, east and west of the country, which is up in the north, is where you have ISIS, Iswap, and Boko Haram.
In the middle belt, it's these Fulani extremists down there.
And that's where you're seeing a lot of bad stuff going on, that middle belt, but it's also up north as well.
And ISIS just issued kind of a declarative statement just recently.
Christians, you have an option here in Nigeria.
You can convert to Islam, pay the tax, or you die.
Those are your options.
You got three.
And so that's why, you know, this has been so important to me to do something and for the United States government to respond to our brothers and sisters in Christ.
And President Trump agrees with that.
He asked me specifically, publicly, after declaring this country, Nigeria, a country of particular concern to go investigate.
And so I went to Nigeria.
I went.
I went to one of the most dangerous parts of Nigeria to investigate this with my other colleagues.
And it's worse than what you read about.
I mean, it is a real tragic situation that is going on there.
And the president who does stand up for persecuted Christians is heavily focused on this.
He certainly has his attention divided on other things that are existential threats to the United States right now.
But this is something that does weigh heavy on his heart.
And that's why we sent these Islamic terrorists 12 Tomahawk cruise missiles for Christmas.
And it was the first Christmas in Nigeria in a long time that Christians had not been massacred inside churches.
It was actually the terrorists that were on the receiving end this time.
So that's a lot of what we've been working on.
And we continue conversations with the administration to get to a better place where we could try to work with the Nigerian government.
There's some sticks and carrots involved in this.
But if they don't accept the carrots, there's going to be more sticks.
benny johnson
So I just want to say thank you for saying that Christians are the most persecuted, not just in the world, in here, like in this country, like in our country.
And I'm so sick and tired of hearing the muling and the complaining about other religious persecution.
There isn't even close to the amount of persecution here, stateside in our nation.
The number of Christian churches that have been under attack have been burned to the ground, have been shot up by either a transgender mass shooter, transgender former member.
They were talking about Minneapolis or Nashville in recent memory.
There are so many different attacks on churches, and it's always a Christian church.
Don Lemon was just arrested along with 30 protesters, left-wing protesters for storming what?
A Christian church?
If they had dared do that to a mosque, if they had dared to do that to a synagogue, they'd probably be deported at this point, right?
They'd like figure out what Lemon Patch did to port Don Lemon last year.
If they had dared do that, there wouldn't even be a conversation about it, right?
The left can only stand up and fight Don Lemon, fight for Don Lemon because it was white Christians that they were persecuting and attacking.
That's it.
If it was any other religion or any other group of people, it'd be indefensible.
unidentified
That's right.
benny johnson
Yeah.
So, I mean, I guess my question to you is, like, why is it exactly that white Christians are the single most discriminated against group of people in America?
riley moore
I mean, I think it's all Christians, to be honest with you, in America.
I mean, that Nashville thing.
benny johnson
So I'm just saying a black church.
If he had done it to a black, he wouldn't dare have done it to like a black church in the south where I am, right?
unidentified
Right.
You know what I mean?
benny johnson
Like, he wouldn't have made it past the, he wouldn't have made it past the aunties, you know, at the front of the church, right?
riley moore
And, and I, and I do want to point out, because you mentioned it, that, that massacre that happened in that school there in Nashville.
Remember, they hid that manifesto.
unidentified
Yes.
riley moore
They would not release it.
They wouldn't put it out there because they knew they would confirm what we know and that there's a systematic persecution of Christians and people of faith in this country by the left.
And it's many times being acted out upon by these folks with mental disorders, these transgender individuals that see us as the existential threat to their realization of a man becoming a woman or something like that, because we stand on biblical truth and they stand on kind of abject misreality that they're living in.
So, yeah, I mean, that's why I think that it's happening.
And what we are, you know, we're one of the pillars of Western civilization.
Christianity is.
Christianity is one of those pillars.
You have Roman law, Greek philosophy, and Christianity.
That's literally kind of the culmination of this whole thing.
The United States of America, the pinnacle of Western civilization right here.
So, of course, they're going to attack one of those pillars because they want the whole thing to fall apart.
benny johnson
Yeah, I mean, listen, it's the only pillar that's left standing, actually.
There is no Rome.
There is no Greece.
There are no empires left for Rome or Greece.
They're a joke.
That's all gone.
The only thing that's left that has power and will always have power is actually the Christian faith.
And so that's what they're attacking.
And it's like obvious.
Like the occult isn't worried about other religions.
They attack Christianity.
They attract Christians.
riley moore
No, and it's the same reason that the, you know, see, the Islamists and others, I mean, attack the Christian faith.
And particularly, and you've heard some of these folks talk about this.
Islamic extremists aren't scared of Democrats.
They're not scared of liberals.
They're not scared of Democrats.
They know that they can kind of bamboozle those folks.
They're scared of people who are Republican and are Christians because we have values and truths that we're willing to stand by.
We are the biggest threat to them having some type of hegemony in the world as it relates to ideology.
And so that's why I think it's another reason that we're attacked because we're the biggest impediment to their success.
benny johnson
So I guess I want to like zoom out here.
Obviously, you're focused on Christians and Christian persecution around the globe.
Official Iranian census government figures say that there's hundreds of thousands of Christians that currently live in Iran.
Some of the other estimates are close to potentially 1 million Christians in Iran.
We wouldn't want to see, obviously, a mass slaughter there of Christians.
That makes them only about 1% of the population.
It's 90 million people in Iran total.
So we wouldn't want to see that happen.
We've seen it happen, of course, in Iraq and in Afghanistan, and things go sideways.
And then they just decimate the Christian populations that are in these regions, like the most ancient, actually Christian populations, like the original Christians live in these regions.
Are you encouraging the U.S. government, obviously, to protect this precious minority there in Iran?
riley moore
I am.
And the numbers I've heard is 800,000, but 800,000 to a million, something like that within Iran.
And you are right.
I mean, these are the most ancient Christian civilizations.
I mean, this is, you know, literally it, Mesopotamia, right?
So, yeah, this is something that I've encouraged the administration.
I've talked about publicly, and we're going to continue to push on.
And look, you mentioned Iraq.
That was a disaster for Christians.
There was one and a half million Christians before we invaded Iraq.
Now there's a few hundred thousand left.
unidentified
Yes.
riley moore
And so it was just an absolute disaster.
And we can't have that same thing repeated here.
Now, some of those churches have been really underground, obviously.
I mean, in the reign of the Ayatollah, they had to kind of really stay underground.
Some people have been put in prison under that previous regime.
So, yeah, I mean, this is something that we can't lose sight of because a lot of people don't know that.
That there was literally like a million Christians wiped out or pushed out of Iraq after we invaded that country.
benny johnson
Yeah, it's awful.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
benny johnson
We, you know, we brought our Western values.
No, we didn't.
We made it more stable and safe and free play.
No, we didn't.
Actually, it's like worse than ever.
And now they're attacking our embassies and consulates the first time they get a chance.
They did it this weekend.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
benny johnson
It's terrible.
I mean, the ideology was so repulsive and so stupid.
And millions of Christians died because of it.
And it's terrible.
And it's horrible.
It is a stain, a scar on the face of our country and neocon policy.
Okay.
Well, I really appreciate your fight for this.
I really appreciate you saying it with certitude.
And it's really nice to see the DOJ.
Maybe we could end on this because it's not all doom and gloom.
Like it's awesome that the DOJ actually went out and prosecuted these left-wingers that by doing that.
unidentified
Yes.
benny johnson
That protects Christians.
That's an action to send a message that you can go and your children can go to church and be safe.
riley moore
Exactly.
And, you know, they continue to try to do this stuff.
I mean, like, I just give you a personal example here.
I had people protesting me outside of my church.
My family and I going to.
unidentified
West Virginia?
Oh, yeah.
riley moore
Well, they drove in from wherever the hell they're from.
And from the other Virginia.
Yeah, we're best Virginia, the other Virginia.
And so, I mean, but they showed up.
They showed up from wherever the hell they're from.
And, you know, me and my family were just trying to go to mass.
And here they are.
You know, I mean, no, no, no space is sacred to them.
They don't care one way or the other.
And so that's why it's so great DOJ has taken an affirmative stance on this and saying we're not going to take it anymore.
benny johnson
Yes.
Good.
Good.
Now we just got to make sure that James Tallerico doesn't get into the Senate.
I mean, that guy saying that, saying that Jesus loves abortion and loves transiting of the kids and that God is non-binary.
Like I feel, I feel dirty, Congressman, just repeating his blasphemes and heresy on my show.
I'm telling you what he says.
It is antithetical to the Bible.
It's actually anti-Christian.
It's actually anti-Christ ideology.
It's straight up inversion, polar negative of the Bible.
unidentified
It's totally different.
riley moore
Yeah, I mean, I think he's evil.
I think he is demonic.
Donald Trump Meets the Miami Soccer Team 00:05:17
benny johnson
Yeah.
riley moore
And I think we need to keep an eye on that, a watchful eye, because there are other forces at work, in my view.
benny johnson
That's exactly right.
There always has been.
You know, it's kind of comforting to know that it's just the same evil.
That's always the same evil.
That's always, there's a, you know, the reason why the Bathomet, like, image of Satan is transgender.
You know, there's a reason for that.
unidentified
Right.
riley moore
Exactly.
benny johnson
It's a defiling of God's order.
It's a defiling of God's nature.
unidentified
Yeah.
benny johnson
And it's pretty simple.
It's nice.
Even a community college graduate like me can get it, Congressman.
Yeah.
But we appreciate your fight and we hope that you come back on and elucidate for us how this administration is out like in protecting Christians.
It's really good.
It's like the first administration in my life that even like tried to.
unidentified
Yeah, exactly.
riley moore
Yeah, this is the first administration to do that and speak so loudly about it.
And I'd love to come back on and give you some more updates about this.
We're going to continue to work on this and not just Nigeria here, the United States.
We've got to stand up for our brothers and sisters in Christ.
benny johnson
Well, I know you're a huge Nikki Minaj fan.
unidentified
Yeah, I am.
benny johnson
You know, you strike me, you know, as a barbs.
unidentified
Yeah.
riley moore
Yeah, I didn't.
I didn't think I'd get her like retweeting my content, but I'm here for it.
It's awesome.
Thank you, Nikki.
Appreciate it.
benny johnson
Thank you, Congressman.
Godspeed.
Happy Friday.
riley moore
God bless.
Thanks.
benny johnson
All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, the wonderful production team on this program has informed me that I missed a big one yesterday of what President Trump said at the White House.
And so I just want to bop on over here to Donald Trump welcoming the Miami championship soccer team, a sport that I don't really follow, but it was really cool to see Lionel Messi.
He's here on this Miami FC team.
And obviously there are multiple, the owner of the Miami football team.
I'm not going to say football.
The soccer team.
Sorry.
I'm an American.
Damn it.
The owner of the Miami soccer team is Cuban.
And a ton of the actual soccer players are Cuban.
And Donald Trump had them at the White House.
And Trump just like went off and said, like, this time next year, we're all going to be celebrating in Cuba together.
I'm telling you, America is going to change.
We're going to watch America change forever.
We're going to watch our, like the lives of our children and the prospects for our nation change forever because of this president.
Is it America first?
Yes, it is, actually.
Yes, it is.
Conquest, empire, shutting the mouths of the bullies on the blocks, bloodying their nose, shoving a stick in their bike spoke, stealing their prom queen is America first.
I'll defend it.
I'll defend it.
Okay.
Ladies and gentlemen, so this was Trump at the White House yesterday.
He's talking to all these Cubans, you know, soccer players.
They're all very famous.
Big time championship here for American soccer.
I guess it's MLS soccer victory.
And Trump looks at all of them during his speech and he's like, yo, I got a great idea.
You're all Cuban.
Let's all go back to Cuba.
donald j trump
check us out congratulations as well to co-owners jorge and jose jose mas Mas who came from Cuba, right?
Came from originally from Cuba.
Your parents came.
You're going to go back.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's going to be, and you won't need my approval.
You just fly back in.
I can just see that.
It's going to be a great day, right?
We're going to celebrate that separately.
I just want to wait a couple of weeks.
I wanted to wait a couple of weeks, but we'll be together again soon, I suspect, celebrating what's going on in Cuba.
They want to make a deal so badly you have no idea.
benny johnson
Guess we'll go to Cuba.
I'd be down, ladies and gentlemen.
You know, you could catch me in Cuba on my Patriot Mobile device.
Patriot Mobile does have international roaming.
So when you're in Cuba this time next year, when we are remaking Cuba, because it's actually like a stunning, beautiful country and lovely people.
Like we had a nice time.
Like it was the government goons that raided our place.
We had an Airbnb there.
Anyway, you can use Patriot Mobile when you go to Cuba.
Cuba's only like 90 minutes from me right now.
They have prioritized premium access on all three major networks.
Their unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, and international roaming would work in Cuba.
Simple, seamless activation, switching minutes.

A Good Time Betrayed 00:05:47
benny johnson
Okay, ladies and gentlemen.
What will happen next in Iran?
Let's go ahead and check the markets here.
U.S. announces military support of Kurds in Iran by March 31st.
Seems like obvious.
Like the United States is going to be backing a Kurdish, although the market says there's a 43% chance.
Looks like there's like a jump up in the market and down.
But like the United States is going to be announcing, like they already, Trump has already announced the support.
There's a huge Kurdish population in Iran.
Iran is a very complicated, very divided country, a very tough country to control.
That's why we just pray for peace.
But like the invasion of the Kurds, like over the border of Iran from Iraq, makes a ton of sense.
We were looking at the maps the other day.
Seems like that's like obvious because these are, there's this huge region of Iran that's like 100% Kurdish, 100%.
I don't pretend to know everything, but like this is how you remake the world.
This is what Trump's going to do.
What happens in these crazy times is you trust in God.
unidentified
Okay.
benny johnson
From Psalms 20.
Good Psalm.
I'm reading through the Psalms right now.
Some trust in chariots and some trust in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God, Christ Jesus, the Lord.
That's right.
That's exactly right.
Some trust.
Don't trust in any of this stuff.
Trump is a man.
Okay?
He's a man.
I do believe in Romans and I do believe that God establishes the governments of the world and that God is in total control.
But Trump is a man.
Okay.
Trust in God ultimately.
And you'll be set.
You'll be locked in.
You'll be good.
Lock in, ladies and gentlemen, with our program.
Thank you, by the way, for obviously all of the support for watching and tuning into the channel.
We are marching with you on to truth.
We're not going to betray our values.
We're not going to betray you.
We won't betray this nation or this movement.
We're going to be there, obviously.
And ups and downs, good and bad.
Nothing is promised to us in this life.
In fact, suffering is quite frankly promised to us in this life.
But it's good to suffer together, march together, and then have victory together, which is guaranteed for us.
So have a great weekend.
And this is the greatest country on earth.
It's your boy Benny.
unidentified
See you.
Laser beam!
Joe Beam!
Joe Beam Fireflies and incense, burning in the tent.
All of the time I spent in the sands of Egypt.
Wanting one thing with the mirror meant to be when there's not a single building left in the world I wanna live in.
Thank you.
They come for the water, they come for the land.
Not a matter of if, but a matter of when.
I'll be right back.
I'm flying across the desert with the skulls of my enemies.
We're here for a long time, here for a good time.
Here for a good time, we're here for a long time.
We're here for a good time, here for a good time.
Here for a long time, we're here for a good time.
They said it would be a hundred years, but I'm looking at it here.
I can see it here.
The end of the.
The biggest ships in the sea, all owned by the oldest kings and a dying legacy, media dealings.
So will the Benny show come to mind the salt from Lives for Fun?
benny johnson
