The Eric Metaxas Show - Dick Morris and John Zmirak

Episode Date: November 18, 2020

It's "Tuesday's with Morris" again and Dick Morris has an election-fraud update after speaking personally with the president; then, John Zmirak runs down several Stream.org articles germane to the current election crisis.

Welcome to the Eric Mattaxas show. Have you ever gargled Peter Butter? What's the capital of North Dakota? Do I spit what I talk? All this and more on the Eric Mataxis show. Now your host, until further notice, Eric Mataxis. Folks, welcome to the Eric Mataxis show. Today is Tuesdays.

Guess what that means. It means Tuesdays with Morris. Yes, anyone named Morris, but our first choice is always Dick Morris. He's not easy to get. He has the ear of the president of the United States. but we have certain connections every now and again, you know, we're able to call in a favor with the Lord of hosts. And here he is, Mr. Dick Morris. Dick. Thank you so much for being on today. Let me explain our relationship. I was sitting on an airplane and I was reading a book about the British, the British guy.

William Wilberforce. The book was called Amazing Grace. And the book was written by a guy named Eric Metaxus. And I was reading the book and this guy tapped me on the shoulder from the seat behind me on the plane and said, do you like my book? I said, yeah, who are you? And they said, I'm Eric Metaxus. So if there was ever, you know, they say that coincidence is God's way remaining in on. So I got the message and I figured to hang on to this guy. He wants you to talk to him.

I said when I met you, I remember I was, I had just spoken at Asbury. Kentucky. It's a wonderful Christian university. And I remember that there was some problem. The weather was funny. And I had a choice of two ways to get home because there was a problem. And it was one of those faith moments where you pray and I prayed and I got on a certain plane and I get on the plane. And who's sitting in the seat in front of me in coach, the famous Dick Morris? And I was so blown away and you very generously asked the person said, and next to me if you could switch seats with them and we had a wonderful conversation. God arranged that.

That was 2007, which I think technically is 13 years ago. Dick, what a joy to call you friend and to have known you for so long. Now, look, I didn't know that you were speaking with the president literally every day and that you have been speaking to him, that you've known him. You had told us on this program before that your father, who passed away at the age of 100 in 2010 was the lawyer for the young Donald Trump and that you met him when you were in your 20s. The old one too, his father.

And for his Fred, father, the father. Sometimes since I've been advising the president, I said, you know, sir, I think both of our parents are looking down at us today and liking what's happening. There's no question. You obviously have been, you know, you were most famously a, pollster, first for Clinton, and when you're a particularly good pollster as you are, that can be so valuable to people like presidents of the United States. But I'm particularly thrilled, Dick, that you are working with this president right now.

Tell us, I know you're not going to talk about the Dominion voter machines. You're not in on that. But you're in on, you're down in the weeds. I heard you last night on Newsmax talk about what we can do. This to me is huge. that you said that we, the American people, have something we need to do and can do. And I want you to tell us about that. So tell us about the swing states and what we can do.

Well, first of all, let me assure you that I am convinced we carried Georgia and Wisconsin and Michigan and Pennsylvania and Arizona. And I'm confident of that because I conducted very large sample polls. typically polls are about 500 or 800 respondents. These were 2,000 apiece, so there's almost no margin of error. And it predicted Trump winning all those states by three points or more. And I'm convinced that we did. What I'm urging is what the president suggested to me over the telephone the day before yesterday.

He said, first of all, he said he's convinced that he won and determined to fight this on. And you're convinced that he won. Yes. Okay. I gave him two quotes, one by John Paul Jones. I have only just begun to fight. Or it was a Stephen Decatur. I'm not sure which one.

No, that was John Paul Jones. And the other. We know it was not Tennyson and it was not Dylan Thomas. It was John Paul Jones. Oh, I did my Dylan Thomas quote for you last time. Yeah. Yeah. No, but you said, but we, we, you, I said, I don't think that's Dylan Thomas.

and you said, no, no, no, you're right. That's Tennyson. And that's a beautiful quote. But John Paul Jones said, we have not yet begun to fight. So that's the first quote, yeah. And the other is by Dylan Thomas. It was his, he said, do not go gentle into that sweet night. Tennyson.

No, that's, that's. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Yeah. The charge of the light brigade. No, it's 10. Well, listen, they're both great quotes. We don't care. We can take credit for them. But you're telling me that you feel the president ought to do that and the president himself is convinced that without a question, if we counted the votes accurately, he really did win. And you yourself are convinced to that. I take you very seriously. I'm totally convinced of it.

So here's what we need to do. The president emphasized to me that the power to assign electors to choose the electors who actually choose the president is vested in Article 2, Section 1, look it up yourself, of the U.S. Constitution in the state legislatures. And the actual quote is on my website, Dick Morris.com. And he said that he felt that the key need here was to mobilize. the Republican leaders of these states, all of these states that are at issue were controlled by Republican state legislatures. Four of the five have Democratic governors. One has in Georgia

has an anti-Trump Republican, but the point is all five have Republican legislatures. And he was urging me to tell people to call the speakers and majority leaders of those houses to urge them to count the votes accurately. And specifically, specifically what we want is that all signatures be verified. In some states, there's a court order not to verify signatures, but the legislature can override that. Secondly, to make sure that all counting and recounting and auditing is done with a Republican inspector right near it at the table, watching it as it's happening.

and finally that the Trump people be given a full list of the registered voters who cast votes so that they may check that to find out who's still alive and what the deal is. In Georgia, for example, there are almost 200 people who voted who were between the ages of 105 and 110. There are 2,000 who voted who are over the age of 100. There are 27,000 in Georgia who voted who are over the age of 90. Now, I wish the people of Georgia good health, and I celebrate the health of those individuals, but pardon me for believing that maybe some of them didn't vote and they're dead. And we can't tell that until we get the list of the people who voted. So what we're urging people to do is to call, write, and email the Republican leaders of both houses of those states.

And those names and phone numbers and hard addresses and e-addresses are now all posted. on my website, Dick Morris.com. Okay, we've never done this on this program. We don't do this, but we're doing it now. Ladies and gentlemen, if you hear this on your radio, if you hear this on your podcast, if you're watching this on YouTube, I am personally begging you to do this for the sake of the world, not just for this nation, because we are the bellwether nation in the world. We hold up the torch of liberty for the world. And all we are asking, think of this, is for an accurate vote count. You don't need to side with Trump. You are siding with justice and righteousness and truth. And we cannot even have an election where someone wins and half the people are wondering

if it was legal. That is a sick situation. That is the undermining of democracy for every American. So I want to tell you, before we go to this break very clearly, and we'll be back with Dick Morris. We're asking you to go to dick morris.com. Folks, I'm begging you. Please do this. Every one of you, go to dick morris.com. He has there listed the Republican speakers, majority leaders, whoever it is in the five states we're talking about. We're talking about Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, and is it Georgia? Georgia. Okay. And those are the five states. And it doesn't matter where you live, whether you live in the state or not, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, and Georgia, that any American would write to them urging them to do these things.

When we come back, we're going to go over this. Very important. Don't go away. Folks, I'm back talking to Dick Morris. You know how I love to joke around? We don't have time. This is way too important. I was asking you in the previous segment, and I'm going to ask you again very clearly. Dick has told us that the president asked him to get every American. That's not just the folks in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, and Georgia, every American to write to the leaders, the Republican leaders of these state legislatures, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, and Georgia to write to them and to ask them, Dick, you mentioned several things.

First of all, to not verify the, to not certify until they have overseen that every signature is verified, that that's not up in the air because that's an ugly loophole, that all the counting would be done with GOP inspectors watching so that there is no question that every vote counted is counted correctly. Not watching. 30 feet away. Yeah, not voting from 40 feet away, which is just despicable. And then thirdly, that the Trump organization would be given a full list of all registered voters so they themselves can check whether the voters are in fact living and registered or dead

and obviously shouldn't be on the rolls. So, Dick, that's all at dickmorris.com. This is something every American can do. And if everyone listening to this program were to do this, folks, I don't ask much. I'm asking you for the sake of this republic, not for Trump to win, but for that justice be done, that every American can be confident that this election was not rigged. Because if people feel that cynicism, that's the end of democracy. It's the end of it. So, Dick, forgive me for going on, but I want people to be crystal clear. Dick Morris.com,

what they need to do. And the situation in each state is a little different. In Arizona, they are simply refusing to have a recount. And that's outrageous. The law says you're only entitled to a mandatory recount if you lost by fewer than 500 votes. And that's designed for dog catcher elections. But for president, in a state that casts three million votes, you're not going to have a 500 vote margin. In Georgia, they're having a recount, but the inspectors are 40 feet away. there's no way the Republican can see them doing this recount.

What is that? What kind of a joke is that? I mean, I don't really even understand. Democrats being partisan. It's the election machine. It's called cheating, Dick. It's called cheating. How do you allow? How is that possible? How can the lawyers? How can the, how can this be possible that they would allow? Well, I think, obviously cheating. I think Trump's people were asleep at the switch and should have been there in these polling places protesting. certainly the recount. During the recount, they were protesting, but they were not listened to. Also in Georgia, I think I said earlier, but let me repeat, there were 200 people between the ages of 105 and 110 who voted. There were 2,000 people over the age of 100 who were supposed to have voted. And there were 27,000 people over the age of 90, between 90 and 100, who were said to have voted.

and I wish everybody health in Georgia, but somehow I don't think all those people actually voted. Okay, the Georgia and the Soviet Union, that's where they eat yogurt and they live to 160. The Georgia, in our country, most people don't live that long. And so this seems a little bit fishy, if I can say so. So we want to call them and have the phone ring maybe in the casket, see if they're alive,

and see if they actually voted. Now, in Wisconsin, there is an honest recount underway, and it'll start, it started on Friday. It'll take two weeks. It's a long process, but I believe at the end of it, there will be justice. Now, in Pennsylvania, there's a, there are a thousand cuts. The first is that the law only requires a recount

if the election is within five-tenths of, 1% and it is now 7 cents of 1%. And I believe that what they did was consciously recount and add phony votes until they could build it up to 6, 7 cents of 1%. So it's not to trigger an automatic recount. We know that 630,000 votes were cast in Pennsylvania after November 3rd. And the situation with that is this. The Republicans before the election sued, and we,

Winston's Supreme Court and said, you can't let states count ballots after election day. And four judges said yes and four said no. At that point, Barrett had not taken office yet. Actually, she had taken office, but she recused herself because she said she hadn't had time to prepare to vote on that. She took office one day before, yeah. Right. So she was right to do that.

But the problem then is that after election, day, it turned out that not only were they recounting after the date had expired, but that they were doing it without Republican inspectors observing it and without verifying signatures. So the Republicans went back to court, and Justice Alito heard it alone. He's the presiding circuit court judge for Pennsylvania, and ruled that they have to pay attention to the requirement, have observers, and check signatures. And apparently they did not do so, even with the revised order by Justice Alito. So the Trump campaign is asking for those 632 ballots to be examined, audited, and potentially disqualified.

In Georgia, there's one other wrinkle that's kind of interesting. The reason that they did not verify signatures initially is that there was a consent decree that the Secretary of State, who is allegedly Republican, Rafenzberger, my new favorite human being, but is in fact strongly anti-Trump. He signed a consent decree last year with the Democratic Party saying that he would not verify signatures on mail-in ballots, not verify signatures on mail-in ballots. The Democrats had just lost the governorship.

Stacey Abrams was the candidate. And she claimed that the Republicans was suppressing the vote and that requiring signatures and verifying them was part of voter suppression tax. Yeah, it's obviously racism to expect black people to be able to sign their names. That's very obvious, Stacey Abrams. So thank you for pointing that out. Please continue. And the court, so citing this court ruling, which is a consent decree, it was his ruling, but in agreeing to settle the lawsuit on these terms, he committed the state of Georgia not to verify signatures. So that needs to be

set aside as well. So this is a long process. It's not going to take a day or a week. It's going to take two to three weeks. It will be completed, I believe, by the time the Electoral College meets on December 14th. Now, beyond that is the issue of the horrible shenanigans with the Dominion voting system. And there's a lot of evidence that the system was gained, not only this year, but in 2018 as well. key congressional races to switch votes from Democrat, from Republican to Democrat, and in this case,

from Biden to Trump. And people like Elizabeth Warren and other Democrats have themselves warned in years past against using dominion voter machines. So this is a bipartisan issue. People have seen problems with these machines for a long time. And it's more than than problems. It's China and Venezuela. Dominion voter systems is a shell company that's owned by a parent company that was founded by two anti-Chavez, I'm sorry, two pro-Chavez were Venezuelans. And they worked in cooperation with the Chinese Communist Party to develop the Dominion voter system and the software that it uses. And many states, including Texas, have refused to let that system anyways near their voting machine because of that reason. Now, this country was paralyzed for two years while they invested a

phony charge that Trump used Russians to win the election. And that's based on $100,000 of social media advertising that amounted to drop in the ocean. This is a Chinese meddling in our election that is motivated by their desire to get Trump out of office and actually cut to the core of the voter system the counting. Remember the great quote by Joseph Stalin. It doesn't matter who casts the ballots. It matters who counts the ballots. Nothing more cynical, but what do you expect from Joseph Stalin, one of the most evil men in the history of the planet? Dick, we have about 45 seconds left. What can you tell us before we go? What about Philadelphia? Anything? Let me leave you laughing. My mother was a famous writer of a magazine article.

and stuff. And she wrote a article about how Svetlana Stalin, Joseph's daughter, defected to the United States. And she developed a lifelong friendship with Svetlana and went to her house in Arizona. And Svetlana had her grand, had her child on her lap, and the phone rang. And she handed the baby to my mother and said, I have to go get that phone. And my mother, a descendant of Hungarian Jewish immigrants, said, I am holding Joseph. Stalin's granddaughter in my arms. It is insane. And she, by the way, Svetlana became a Christian.

I don't know if you know that. We're out of time. Dick, we love you. We'll talk to you as soon as possible. Thank you. And I will execute on these things. That's very important. Thank you.

My conversation with Dick Morris, by you, before we go to John Zmirak, I'm not going to stop urging you to do what he and the president are asking every patriotic American to do. The short version of that is you go to Dick Morris.com. He gives you the list of the five legislative leaders, the GOP legislative leaders in those five states, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia. and you write them an email asking them simply what he asks you to do on his website,

Dick Morris.com. I posted it on Facebook. I posted it on parlor. I'm going to send out an email today. We will post his video very shortly. And I ask you to share this with everyone you know because literally the Republic may depend upon it. Does that sound hyperbolic or histrionic? Well, tough luck. I am sorry to say, I'm afraid. it's not. Now for something more fun, John Smirak. My friend, John Smirak, welcome. Hey, thanks, Eric. I just shared that at your request. Well, thank you. Behind you, it says release the crackin. Now, this is only for people looking at us on YouTube, but a lot more people obviously listen on radio or podcast, but some of these visuals, I have to mention them. Release the Cracken refers obviously to the

comments made by Sidney Powell the other day about what she's discovered with the Dominion voting machines. Do you have any comments on that? I don't mean for you to have any comments, but in case you do, I thought I gave you the opportunity. Right. Well, you know, I don't have inside information, but I believe that Sidney Powell does. I believe that Sidney Paul and Rudolph Giuliani and Lynn Wood are private, patriotic citizens with stellar professional and personal reputations for honesty and integrity. I don't think they would throw it all away on something like Pete, that was like Pizza Gate, on something unproven and unprovable. I don't think they would do it. For one thing, it would destroy their reputations, it would destroy their careers, it would

destroy their legacies. Whereas the mainstream media can lie with impunity, they can say whatever they want, and it can be proven false, it can be proven ridiculous and dishonest, like the Atlantic monthly story about Trump supposedly making fun of dead veterans, was uttered. discredited. Nobody paid any price. Nobody got fired. The magazine didn't lose any money. The left can lie, cheat, and steel with zero consequences. We are held to the standards that we used to hold folks. Okay, John, yesterday I went on a run to clear my head from all the radio and stuff. And while I went on my run, far from clearing my head, I listened to this program on my run. and I listened to you saying yesterday what you are saying now and it encouraged me.

And I said to myself, by God's grace, this is why people listen to this program sometimes because they need encouragement. What you said and you repeated the short version of it just now, I needed to hear. And what that was is that, listen, if you think things are crazy now, remind yourself, remind yourself that the powers that be, the mainst, media have passed along with deadpan faces, with insistence for four years, some of the most ludicrous stories that have yet to be proven, that some of which have been clearly unproven. In other words, you have to remind yourself that you're living in a time of 24-7 gaslighting,

and unless you hear the truth, unless you surround yourself with people who, are speaking the truth, who are encouraging you in what we actually know and exhorting you to pray to God for this nation, it's easy for every one of us to get confused. Let me sum it up easily. Let me sum it up really easy. Who do you believe the people who told you that Brett Kavanaugh ran a rape gang or General Flynn's defense attorney? Who are you going to believe? I mean, can you imagine? But I mean, if you don't say that, we forget that they were trying to say that Brett Kavanaugh, who's now on the Supreme Court, yeah, he ran like a rape gang in high school, literally zero evidence. In fact, you know,

less than zero evidence. Evidence to the contrary. But we're supposed to forget about that and keep giving NBC our credence. We're supposed to think, oh, you people are dangerous extremists, you're conspiracy theorist because you deny the Russia collusion hoax, which of course, had no evidence. These were the people who were pushing the dossier that said that Trump paid prostitutes to urinate on him in Russian hotels. This is a family program. Listen to me, John, yesterday, yesterday on Fox News, I don't expect you to be up on this or anyone to. I just happen to turn it on. Martha McCallum seems to be in the 7 o'clock hour, not a big fan of Trump. And now that the corporate bigwigs have given her the freedom, she seems to be more open about it. She, yesterday,

had on, he's not the, he's not the Brian Stelter CNN Egghead. Who's the other Humpty Dumpty figure? I have no idea. I haven't watched these networks of 15 years. He was, Carl Rove. Carl Rove. Oh, whoa. Carl Rove.

The guy who destroyed the Bush administration. Carl Rove was on Fox News last night. Now, you know, normally you think of him out, he's a good guy. He's got the whiteboard and he's, Carl Rove was pretty much mocking the idea that Trump could win or did win and that it's over. He was pushing the narrative that everyone's pushing. It's over.

Let me remind you about Carl Rove. He has been a snake his entire career. Carl Rove is the man who, and I have this firsthand, when people warned Bush and warned him that the invasion of Iraq would result in the genocide of Christians, Carl Rove laughed at him. And that's exactly what happened. Carl Rove is the guy who used the Republican National Committee to destroy any Republican candidate in primaries who wanted to limit immigration.

Okay. We're going to, excuse me, we're going to, we need to get to this litany. When we come back, John Zemarik will continue this litany. It's important to hear folks. Stick around. Folks, I'm talking to Johns Mirok. John Zerick, I was just explaining that I saw Carl Rove on Fox News, which has obviously gone over to the dark side except for a couple of shows. And Carl Rove was kind of making fun or at least discounting strongly the idea that it could be possible that Trump won or could win, basically telling people get over it, it's done.

We've got to all Carl Rove caught cares a party. He and his ilk, the open borders, cheap labor, big money, screw the working man faction. They ran the Republican Party into the ground between 2000 and 2016. If we're up to them, we would be at war in Syria right now, trying to impose al-Qaeda as the government of Syria. So it could ethnically cleanse a million Christians, the way it happened in Iraq under Obama, but also under George W. Bush. This faction of the Republican Party cares more about controlling the party than they do about saving the country. They are not patriotic. They are power-hungry.

They want the Xerox machine back. I don't know if anybody saw the movie office space. There's a character who they take away his little, his red stapler from the office. He burns the building down. That's the never-trumpers. And if I have one criticism of Donald Trump, it's that he hired all these hats instead of people actually supported him. And what they did was they leaked, they undermined, they backstabbed him. Mickey Haley is another example.

She admitted that, remember that 25th Amendment coup where Trump's own appointees were going to remove him from office, she admitted that they came to her and approached her about supporting them, and she said she didn't. But she didn't warn the president either. Why the heck is Trump treating Trump like touting her? Why is she considered a 2024 potential candidate? We cannot trust these people. We cannot trust these people. Well, it goes farther. I watched Chris Steyerwald. He was, I think, on Fox Business with Kennedy. he was openly, much more openly than Karl Rove, mocking the idea that Trump won by the votes or could be shown to one to have won and said that, and now that they're running out of margins in these states, they're going to this bigger thing of the Dominion voting. And he was kind of making fun of that. I'm sort of calling it a conspiracy theory. And I thought, this is Fox and this is Fox business. So, These unspeakable, contemptible hats. I pray to God, Trump actually wins and can root these people out.

I know for one thing, anybody who right now is helping them steal this election, we must destroy inside the Republican Party. They have no place in the Republican Party. They are cooperating with a vote fraud designed to give the Democrats the White House, and you watch, it won't stop. they'll try to steal the election in Georgia too, so they get the Senate as well. So you can attack the Supreme Court and take away our first and second amendment rights. Are you with serious?

Are you with Patton or with the Vichy French? That's really where we are. Okay. So John, so your voice on this radio yesterday encouraged me to remind myself who we're dealing with and how, but it reminds me of C.S. Lewis's book, The Silver Chair, where your mind begins to place. tricks because all you see are the lies and it's so hard. We're all tempted, myself included, to say, I must be missing something because everyone's saying this. We have to remind ourselves over and over and over again. First of all, what does God say? God says to fight for what is right.

Whether you win or lose, make sure you fight to the end for what is right. You do the right thing. And if other people don't, that's on them. And so I want to repeat that I'm going to be sending out an email and I put it on Facebook and I put it on parlor and I'm going to put links on Twitter and so on and so forth to go to dick morris.com that every single American who cares about this election will do what Dick asked us to do. It's a very small thing. We must do this, folks. This is not like other people can do it. We must do this. But John, you wrote an article the other day. I want to talk about it. It's at stream.org, which has not gone over to the dark side. Thank you for being so prolific there. Let's talk about the Syrian Christians,

and let's talk first about the other thing that you wrote about. I have a piece at stream.org that a lot of people have read, like cruel scientists who torture dogs, the Democrats want to teach us learned helplessness. Learned helplessness is something that twisted scientists discovered in the 60s. They put a dog in a box, and if it went left, it got a shot. And if it went right, it got a shot. Whatever it did, it got a shot. So what happened, was the dog just curls up and lies there even if you shock it. That's called learned helplessness. You see it with people married, like abused wives sometimes develop learned helplessness, spouses of alcoholics, people with PTSD. That's what they want for us. They want us to accept,

I have to wear a mask everywhere. Churches are closed. It's okay to have riots in the streets, though, because that doesn't spread COVID. We were supposed to believe it when they said Trump stole the election, but we're not supposed to believe it when Biden seems to have stolen the election. They want to beat us down to the point where we just passively abused dog, accept whatever the media feeds us, whatever the deep state. When we finally say, I love Big Brother. That's the end. That's right.

When we actually feel it, when we actually feel that we love Big Brother. And I got to say, as someone who rescues dogs, I've seen traumatized dogs. I've had to help traumatized dogs to heal. And I've seen dogs that couldn't be helped because the abuse had been just too profound. And in the article at stream.org, I tell the stories of my dog rescues. And I have pictures before and after of the dogs that I rescued. So this is a particularly heartfelt piece for me, a more personal piece than most of what I write. Well, we need more of that from you, my friend.

So I hope folks get to stream.org. More and more folks, we'll be going to stream.org. we'll be going to to our YouTube channel for the Erkmatakis show because we can see that Fox has made a decisive turn at least on all of those kinds of programs.

I don't believe that's going to happen with Tucker and with Sean and with a few others, Janine Piro. We've just got... Gene Piro was canceled. No, no. She, we were thankfully wrong.

She made it... Oh, really? He's back on there. Thank God. We need her voice. We need her voice. We've got 30 seconds. Talk about the Syrian Christians.

And then we'll talk about it in the next segment. Okay. The deep state is trying to trick Donald Trump into abandoning the Syrian Christians and the Kurds who destroyed ISIS so we didn't have to. And after the break, I can explain to you how that works and what the president needs to do. It's a big thing, folks.

Please remember to subscribe to my YouTube channel. It is the Eric Metaxus show YouTube channel. friends have subscribed. We're getting at a point where you don't know where you're going to get your information from. I never thought I'd be saying this, but it's happening. Also, please follow John and me on Twitter and anywhere else you can find us. God bless you. We'll be right back. let's talk about something that's a little serious, a little tough, but it's important that we talk about these things. You've written an article at stream.org. Go. President Trump must avoid a frenzied retreat from Syria that would get Christians massacred is the title.

President Trump is rightly looking to pull our troops out of Afghanistan. People are asking whether he's going to pull them out of Syria. There's a big difference between those two countries. I have an interview with a regional expert, Johannes D. Young, who advocates for Christians and for religious liberty in the Middle East. Right now, we have thousands of troops in Afghanistan,

and nobody wants us there. Our troops are getting blown up, shot, butchered, we're accomplishing nothing. We've been there for 20 years. We've accomplished nothing. Absolutely nothing. Afghanistan is the country. It's the booby prize.

It's the country you want your enemies to try to occupy and transform. You don't want to do it. We got stuck holding the go, okay? Trump wants to let go with the go. That's a great idea. In Syria, we have a few hundred special forces. They don't even fight.

They're advising the Kurds, advising the Syrian Christians, and most importantly, deterring Turkey from invading the area. There's an enclave in northeastern Syria. It's called the self-administrative autonomous zone. It's where the Syrian Democratic forces, the people who defeated ISIS, where they have a little island of religious freedom, tolerance of rights for women, democratic government.

It's the only part of the Muslim world that is actually a decent place to live in, frankly. It has rights for everyone. Muslims can freely convert to Christianity inside this enclave. Wow. They actually have religious liberty in a part of Syria. That's right. They have thousands of Kurds who have converted to Christianity, and the government doesn't bother them.

They would get the death penalty in Afghanistan or Pakistan for that. So these American allies, the closest thing to democratic free government in the region, where the Christians take part of the government along with the Muslim Kurds and the Yazidis are protected, a few hundred American troops are there, and people are trying to trick President Trump into pulling them out. And it's important to let the president know Christians, American Christians, we don't want to see the Christians in Syria end up like the Christians in Iraq. And this is very dangerous. Kamala Harris has promised that if they take office, the U.S. government will help install

al-Qaeda in power over the whole of Syria. How can that be? The so-called moderate rebels that John McCain was talking up, they are al-Qaeda. Everyone knows they're al-Qaeda. They've been ethnically cleansing Christians in the Afrin region of Syria. They went up to Armenia. They went up to Armenia to help fight against the Armenian Christians. These are jihadi terrorists. They are linked to al-Qaeda, officially linked to al-Qaeda. And John McCain and the neocons, and now Kamala Harris and the left, the one thing they can agree on is they want al-Qaeda to rule the whole of Syria.

They say, oh, they're better than Assad. They're moderate rebels. No, they're al-Qaeda-jihadi terrorists. Anything is better than these lunatics coming to power. They're indistinguishable from ISIS. tell President Trump, stand firm. You don't need to unite Lindsay Graham and Franklin Graham against him by betraying the Christians of Syria. All right, John, thank you.

Folks, I want to exhort you two things. One not that important, one very important. If you go to Mypillow.com, make sure you use the code Eric. And on the very important front, I have, I'm going to send out an email to my email list. If you're not on my email list, you should go to Ericmetaxis.com and sign us. up for that. But I've already posted it on Facebook, and I'm going to post the Dick Morris. We're going to post that on the Eric Metaxus show YouTube channel, exhorting every single one of you. I am begging you, folks, to go do what he asks, contact the five GOP legislators in the states, Wisconsin,
