I mean, should there be groups that are tied to terrorist organizations? that are getting tax breaks or funding from the U.S. And Riley Moore joins us. He is the representative from West Virginia, who is going to talk to us a little bit about,

are we going to send troops to Nigeria? I mean, what is happening in Nigeria? How bad is it? And what is our responsibility there? All that and more on today's podcast. Let me tell you about relief. every morning pain tells you a story you didn't ask it to tell a slower step a held breath a a plate you know left until tomorrow and over time those little moments add up you know not because

you're weak but because your body is telling you something really important don't do something don't do that something inside is not good and it's slowing you down leaf fact a relief factor it doesn't just try to silence the symptoms with that quick fix that wears off it works with your to address the inflammation that keeps the pain lingering. It's a daily approach. Doctors help design it. Millions of people have said it finally, you know, helped them start doing the things that they thought were behind them.

We are so glad that you're here. I want to start with the analysis from Van Jones on the Mamdani speech last night. Listen to what he said.

I think the Mamdani that we saw on the campaign trail, who was a lot more calm, who was a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing, was not present in that speech. And I think that Mamdani is the one you need to hear from tonight. There are a lot of people trying to figure out, can I get on this train with him or not? Is he going to include me? Is he going to be more of a class warrior, even in office? I think he missed a chance tonight to open up and bring more people into the tent. I think his tone was sharp. I think he was using the microphone in a way that he was almost yelling.

And that's not the mom-thoddy that we've seen on TikTok and the great interviews and stuff like that. So I felt like there was a little bit of a character switch here where the warm, open, embracing guy that's close to working people was not on stage tonight. There were some other voice on stage. Huh. Hmm. It's almost like a mask has come off. What a surprise. Yeah, by the way, just quick a recommendation for anyone in New York.

If Mom Dottie tries to get you on a train, don't go. It's a terrible idea. Stay away from the Mumdody train. Very good points, too. I, you know, I might have even gotten onto that train, you know, without realizing. Very good point. Very good point. I don't think as a German, you'll be invited, Glenn.

No trades. No trades. Okay. So here's Mom Donnie. And this is how angry. Listen how angry he is when he's talking about Donald Trump. Listen to this. So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you.

Volume up. I guess turn it up on the TV. We will hold bad landlords to account because the Donald Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking advantage of their tenants. He's screaming. Why would we need to turn the volume up? We will put an end to the culture of corruption that has allowed billionaires like Trump. to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks. The corruption changed the tax loss.

We will stand alongside unions and expand labor protections because we know just as Donald Trump does that when working people have ironclad rights, the bosses who seek to extort them become very small indeed. New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants of tonight led. A very angry immigrant

whose own mother says he doesn't identify as an American. I mean, can I just spend a minute on this? Because he's absolutely right. New York was built by immigrants.

America was built by immigrants. I mean, unless you're a Native American, you're an immigrant. Okay? And I make the case that you might have come from Asia, even if you're an American, you know, native. You know, go back far enough. You weren't on this continent. So, so I agree, all built by immigrants. But we have a difference

now of immigrants. Listen to this from Teddy Roosevelt. There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I referred to hyphenated Americans, I don't refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I've ever known were naturalized Americans. Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all. This is just as true of a man who puts native before the hyphen as a man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance. Think about this. Think about this in what's happening with the Somali communities.

Think about Minnesota. Think about Dearborn. Think about New York. Think about what's being said about and to immigrants today. If he is heartily and singly loyal to this republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good as an American as anyone else. The one absolute certain way of bringing this nation to ruin of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities. An intricate knot of German Americans, Irish and Americans, English Americans, French Americans, Scandinavian Americans, Italian and Americans. Notice, by the way, he's not attacking people of color. These are all people from Western Europe.

So this isn't something new, and it's not about racism. Scandinavian? Yeah, boy, you must hate white people. Those are the widest white people on the planet, for the love of Pete. The men who do not become Americans, and nothing else are hyphenated Americans, and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen, and yet who shows by his actions that he's primarily the citizen in the life of our body politic, he has no place here,

and the sooner he returns to the land in which he feels his real heart allegiance, the better it'll be for every good American. There's no such thing as a hyphenated American who's a good American. The only man is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else. I mean, you know, when he said that in the early 1900s, he was talking about a whole different class of immigrants,

race-wise. But it doesn't matter. hyphenated American race. If you are an American, you don't see race. People have in the past, and it's been wrong to do it. And you know who really saw that clearer than anyone else? The progressives, Margaret Sanger being one of them, the progressive movement. They're the ones who wanted to separate races.

For the love of Pete. So he's now angry and he's jamming a wedge between Americans and immigrant Americans. Listen to the next cut here. As has so often occurred, the billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30 an hour that their enemies are those earning $20 an hour. They want the people to fight. Stu, can you explain that? Play that again.

Explain this sentence to me. Played again from the top. As has so often occurred, the billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30 an hour that their enemies are those earning $20 an hour. Stop. What does that mean? What does that mean?

I mean, the case is that the Republican Party, the rich, evil, rich people. Billiaires. Billionaires. are saying or trying to convince everybody that the problem in our country are the poor people. So, so exactly the opposite of what he's doing. He's trying to convince the people who are $20 hour laborers that the 32 billionaire class is their problem, is their enemy. No, very true.

You might find some hypocrisy. A little bit, a little bit. Go ahead. Play the rest, please. They want the people to fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the work of remaking a long, broken system. We refuse to let them dictate the rules of the game anymore.

They can play by the same rules as the rest of us. Amen, I'm bald for that. Together, we will usher in a generation of change. And if we embrace this brave new course, rather than fleeing from it, we can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves.

Now he goes on the very next sentence, which we didn't grab. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it's the city that gave rise to him. If there is any way to terrify a despot, it's by dismantling the very conditions

that allowed him to accumulate power. How did Donald Trump accumulate power? How do you do that? Capitalism. Capitalism. He accumulated power by making money, by creating businesses, by building, you know, New York. A lot of New York was built by Donald Trump. So that's how he accumulated power. So what he's saying here, you want to talk about the mask coming off, what he's saying here is we have to now dismantle, that system of capitalism because that's what gave him power. One last cut, 47, please. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump,

how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. Listen to it. If there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. He's so obsessed with this guy. This is not only how we stop Trump, it's how we stop the next one. It's amazing. It's going to be interesting to watch New York City over the next four years.

Very, very interesting because he is, he's going to be pushed by the left. They are going to demand that he does these things and he wants to do them. So let's see what he gets done and how many great changes are coming to that city. You may have noticed lately everything costs more. Your paycheck just doesn't stretch, you know, as far as it used to. We're all doing the same things. We're paying the mortgage, making the minimums, keeping up with life. And it feels like you're running a race that just keep adding new laps.

You're like, wait, I thought the race was. Now, truth is, most people aren't drowning because they're irresponsible. They're drowning because the system is stacked now in a way that you can't get out. Nobody ever taught you how to fight back financially. This is where American financing comes in.

Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

And don't forget, rate us on iTunes. Stu, give me an update, a quick highlight of everything that we covered in our number one. and any new additional information on the election last night. Yeah, it was always going to be an uphill battle for Republicans and off your election when the Republican is in power. Also, most of these elections taking place in blue states. So it kind of gave you a range of outcomes from if everything goes the best case possible for Republicans would be close victories, squeaking out victories in some of these states and probably close losses in some of the situations. and the range of outcomes went to the idea that it could be a blowout all over the board, much closer to that side of the outcome spectrum, if you will.

It was a bad night for Republicans, and it's very little I can find, honestly, to be super excited about. But it is important to not overstate the meaning of all of this either, as I said. It's blue states. This is an uphill battle for Republicans anyway. So it doesn't mean 2026 is long. or 2028 is lost, but look, if you thought everything was going swimmingly, this is a nice wake-up call, you should be concerned and we're going to have to work really hard. And I think this should be a wake-up call for everybody in the administration as well.

The president is doing things that are affecting our economy here. He is working on changing the globalist design to make things American first. And, you know, other countries, you know, they can be first too in their own way. but trying to bring back, you know, to get away from this globalist new world order and back to a system where everybody is working for their country and trying to help and work along and we all have the free market. And that is going to affect us eventually, but it's not affecting the average person yet. And when it comes to 2026, you know, the gas prices being as low as they are, is not good enough because energy prices for electricity are going up. People need to have some confidence that the economy is turning a page in a better direction in the next year.

Otherwise, it could be very tough, as it always is for a sitting president. They always lose in Congress. It would be a huge, huge upset of tradition if the Republicans gain. But we cannot lose the House. All right. Let me go to Chip Roy. Chip is joining us. us, he is introducing a new bill called the, what is it called?

I love the name of this thing, Chip. What is the name of this bill? I don't remember what the name of it is. It's to stop care from having tax status in any terrorist organizations. The no tax exemptions for terror act. I love that. I mean, that is the clearest a bill has ever been. The no tax exemptions for terror act.

You can love it. Yeah. So what is it exactly? We came up with that on Friday when we were. filing the bill and we were coming back and forth and my chief staff came up with that title credit to her but we look here's the thing and if i can take one minute to pretend that i'm sitting in uh glenbeck studio on television and i'm going at it i'm going to do whiteboards okay and so for your listeners out there like pretend for a minute that i've got that video uh capability

imagine if you will enormous number of bubbles of NGOs and all of these non-profits that are out there under the cloak of things like Catholic charities or Jewish groups or evangelical groups or maybe they're secular groups. Oh, and they seem all nice and they're doing all these nice and warm and fuzzy things. But they're all involved with moving people into our country, right? They're all a part of the 250 organizations that the Center for Immigration Studies said were a part of the mass invasion during the Biden administration. Now over here, create a group of bubbles that are all of the groups that are pushing the district attorney, that are radical Marxist, the Soros-funded DAs that are putting criminals on our streets,

and there's a whole cadre over there under the Wren collective that the law enforcement legal defense fund outlined. Now over here on this board, show the bubbles that... Wait, we lost you. Show the bubbles at what? They want to see radical Sharia on our streets. Now on top of the board, put the Arabella group, which are Democrat operatives with Clinton and with Biden, you know, and they're all in organization with and coordinated with the bubbles above them, which are the funding streams from Bill Gates, from George Soros, from radical billionaires across the country, and taxpayer dollars, money through the United Nations, grant money from the United States, going to all of those NGOs, remember the first bubbles that I put on the board,

and all of that money is then being coordinated in a war against you and me and freedom and Western civilization. So yes, I believe care and every other one of these organizations that are radicalized against Americans ought to be not just disbanded from their C3 status, but probably broken up. And we should go through and look at the conspiracy that they're involved in and probably violating our laws in RICO violations. But at a minimum, we should take away their tax status. So I introduce legislation to do that as a shot across the bow, and we need to go further than that. I hope that's clear without a video board. Yeah, it is. I have, you know, I made it, as you were doing it, I just,

I just kind of put it together the way you suggested, all these little bubbles, and you can see. I mean, it's pretty bad. And what's crazy is that we did not assume that our tax dollars were going to any of these places. I mean, they have gotten so wicked and so smart the way, you know, I always knew that Soros and they, the Tides Foundation.

And it is suspect that, gosh, you have all of this money and it's all going out the door and nobody knows where that money is going. And we focus when we find out what the budget is. We're like, wait, you're doing turtle studies on what? And nobody is asking, but wait a minute, what about the other, you know, trillion dollars that nobody is tracking that we, they're just going out to these NGOs. We are funding our own demise. a hundred percent glenn and that's exactly right and i'm glad you said that because

republicans with all due respect to my colleagues get distracted with shiny objects and they go and i look i've done it too right because it's easy to say and you go out there and you say oh yeah it went to the turtle funding or what to this waste and people go oh my god that's terrible it's like five million dollars the real engine is that flow of money so that okay dollars that are going in you know to organizations that a lot of people view and because they do some good work, they go to some organizations, take Catholic charities or take some evangelical groups or whatever, or some Jewish organization. And you're sending them money because, oh, they're doing good things and they're helping people. But then you start realizing you peel back to onion,

and they're all a part of all of this and the grants that flow through so that when you're Todd Benson or my friends from the Center for Integration Studies and you're down at the Darian Gap, and you see that the United Nations money, United States taxpayer money, grants, we're going to these organizations to funnel people from around the world to come up through Mexico and into the United States or be flown by plane into the United States. And then you wonder why we have so many Somalis and so many Muslim Sharia adherents that have dumped into our country. It's heavily because of what we've been funding. It's heavily because of our money that we give to the United Nations. So we need to stop that. And we need to be, look, what I've done with this bill is one step of a

thousand we need to take, right? The bill that I did two weeks ago to say, let's start vetting people for adherence to Sharia law. Let's pass H.R. 2. Let's do a bill. I'm going to introduce a bill this week to say we should freeze all immigration until we've actually got to handle on all of the ways in which it's being abused, whether it's birthright citizenship, a pliol or V. Doe, which says we have to educate illegal children, the Sharia adherence and making sure that we're not importing people that are hostile to Western civilization, making sure people aren't on the public Dole? These are all things we need to do, Glenn, and we're not doing it, and we're funding the demise of our own country and it needs to stop, and Congress needs to back up President Trump

with at least as aggressive agenda as he's putting forward. We can't just pass the big beautiful bill and then pat ourselves in the back and hope we win the midterms. Let's go back to Congress. Let's pass a stock trading ban. Let's pass HR2 to secure the border. Let's codify some of the president's executive orders. Let's pass health care freedom and dismantle the stranglehold that insurance companies that hospital corporations have over our health care. Let's go to war for the American people, and then they'll want to go to support us at the ballot box. You know, there's this big reject A-PAC thing that is going on right now.

And look, I think if you're going to do that, then you've got to do the American Cubans, the Iranian-American, you know, PAC. There's a ton of these. And I just want them all to play by the same rules. You know, whatever those rules are, everybody plays by the same rules. But, you know, one of the things we don't look at is, you know, you look at like APAC, and I think it's average, not election years is about $60, what, $60 million, $60 million?

It's got to be billion. Nothing ever sounds big anymore. But they're spending all this money in the United States, and everybody says, oh, well, they're just, they're controlling the United States. It is million. 30 to 60 million on average, okay? but if you look at Saudi Arabia, that's state money. And they're spending $93 million and since 1986, $2.1 billion on our universities. And they're not alone.

And nobody's saying anything about that. And I wonder why. Why? Glenn, I cannot thank you enough for bringing that up, right? Especially in line, I'm not going to get into all this controversy the last week and everything that's, going on and, you know, with the Heritage Foundation, all that stuff. Like, look, here's the bottom line. You've nailed it, right?

There is a vast, vast amount of money flowing into the United States from the Middle East and to our universities and into political organizations and designed very heavily to advance a march of people who want to upend our way of life, okay? China is involved in it too. 100% the chycoms are 100% a part of that and by the way this is why we should be banning not just Chinese Communist Party ownership of our land but frankly any foreign set national shouldn't be owning our land like why are we letting people own Texas and buy Texas this is one of the things by the way that I get a really strong reaction from people on the campaign trail

I talk about the soros dAs I talk about the border I talk about Islamification but then I talk about something else Glenn and it's really really a really strong reaction I'm related to what we're talking about. The corporatification of Texas and of our, you know, great red states, we are allowing corporations to come in and buy up our homes, literally. Yeah. Buick-Rock, buying up our homes. We're allowing them buy up our hospitals, prevent doctors from being able to form their own hospitals. We're allowing them to buy up our land, our cattle, our meatpacking plants, some foreign-owned, some domestic, but it's major corporate

it and a lot of it's foreign. And I don't want to be governed by boardrooms in New York City any more than I want to be governed by the federal government. I want Texas to own Texas. I want Texans to own Texas. And that's one of the principal things I want to fight on as Attorney General. I tell you, there's this big, beautiful hospital that was built just where my home in Texas was. And I was so excited to have this really great hospital that close. And after it was built. It was, I think it was like Texas Doctors Hospital and it was just all these independent doctors that wanted to do a hospital

the way they wanted to do a hospital. And I walk in and, uh, because I didn't even know they had opened, but we had an emergency and so I'm like, take them to the emergency room. I think it's open. Take them to the emergency room. And it's the entire place is empty. And the reason why is because

these corporate hospitals said if you do anything with that hospital, you're out of our, of our system. You won't be having any privileges at our hospital. And they put that hospital out a brand new, beautiful hospital. Doctors wanted their own independence and the big corporate hospital put them out of business. It was insane. This is a major problem. And I know we're covering a lot of topics, but it's all related, Glenn. I mean, this is a war against our way of life. And Republicans better get

busy providing alternative solutions, both calling out the war so that people know. because they all feel it, but also then provide alternatives. Look, I put out five years ago a 50-page document called that Case for Healthcare Freedom. And we'll actually introduce the bill five years ago. I put out the case for health care freedom two years ago. And that document outlines an array of options where we empower patients, empower doctors, expand health savings accounts, expand direct primary care, give people tools, allow them to be able to control their care and drive prices down,

free up doctors so you're not having corporate-owned hospitals and insurance companies making your decisions. Now, that is an environment that most Americans would prefer, and nobody will be left out. Prices will go down. Health sharing ministries can fill the void, meta-share and a lot of other options, and we can have these shining city on the hill. Let's go to talk about that to the American people. Let's talk about driving housing prices down by eliminating private equity and all of these big corporate ownership of local dirt in our communities. allow only individuals to own homes and our dirts in our communities and farms to be locally owned by Texans. We can then have cattle that you grow in Texas, slaughter in Texas, put in stores in Texas, and eat by Texans.

That's the way we ought to do things. I'm all for free trade. So are you. So are most of us that love free enterprise? 100%. But I want to make sure we don't have corporate decision makers with crony capital dollars from government that are regulated. telling us how to live and then wonder why the socialists are on the march and wonder why Mabdani's elected because we're not offering bold solutions that will excite the people.

And that was, by the way, what Charlie Kirk did a great job of and why inspired young people. And he was also unafraid to talk about his faith. But that's a different conversation. Chip, I got to run. But thank you so much. You should read this. It's a Blaze exclusive. Chip Roy introduces Bill to Strip absurd tax exempt status from care and other groups

with terrorist ties. Should have ended it long ago. Chip Roy, thank you very much. If you want to get involved in his Senate campaign, no, he's running for AG in Texas. We make a great AG in Texas. Just follow him, Chip Roy. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

The Glenn Beck program. Let's say hello to our friend, Congressman Riley Moore, a Republican from West Virginia. You know, Riley, before we, get into what's happening in Africa. Can I just ask you what the heck is going to happen if the Supreme Court decides to say the president doesn't have a right to these tariffs? What happens? Well, you know, Glenn, I'm sitting on pins and needles on this one because I have been a huge supporter of these tariffs. I think it's going to help re-industrialize our country bring back

these jobs that are actually meaningful to communities like mine in the state of West Virginia. Virginia, we are going to have to try to find some way to work around this, depending on how this case comes down, if it were to come down in the negative and look through the details of that or pass legislation here to give the president the authority, which I think he rightfully already has as the president of the United States to levy these tariffs. So I'm very hopeful that this goes the way that it should, but certainly watching very closely. Yeah. I don't think it's going that way. Just based on the questions that are coming out in the Supreme Court today, they seem very, very skeptical. And, you know, I'm not sure the president has that constitutional authority. I'm just worried about the aftermath because we're deep in it now.

What? What? It's going to happen. This is not going to be good. It's not going to be good. All right. Riley, let me talk to you about Nigeria and what's happening in Nigeria. It is the scariest most deadly country in the world, if you happen to be a Christian. And nobody seems to be talking about it. And, you know, you have been involved in, you know, urging Secretary Rubio to say Nigeria is a country of particular. concern, which I don't know what that means exactly. What doors does that unlock? Yeah, so that is, that designation actually sits in U.S. code. So it does unlock 15 different levers for the president when a country is designated, a country of particular concern that could be holding development money. That could be going to international institutions to freeze assistance through there. That could also halt security assistance, which would be armed sales and training, and things like that that have been going on in Nigeria.

We could sanction individuals. It gives the president the authority to do a number of different things that can really, I think, leverage the Nigerians to actually start caring about our brothers and sisters in Christ who have been getting murdered for the profession of their faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So I think this is a good first step, and we're going to see how the Nigerians react to this. I've been having meetings with Department of State.

We are going to meet with the Nigerians here at some point as well here in D.C. So we're going to see what they're going to bring to the table, but also the president, who always puts all options on the table, has said if they don't start fixing this, there could potentially be kinetic military action in Nigeria. What does that mean? Boots on the ground? No. To me it does not mean that.

To me, you have complex issues that are going on over there where you have in the middle band of the country. This is where the Fulani's are and these are herdsmen. And this is where you get this radical strain, obviously, Islamic terrorists, these Fulani's, these are herdsmen, tribe. and they have been attacking Christians in that middle band. The northern part of the country is mostly Muslim, southern part of the country is mostly Christian. So that middle part where they graze their cattle and all that is where you see a lot of these flashpoints and murdering going on. But then in the northern part of the country is where you have ISIS, Boko Haram. That's where they are operating and where they're taking over towns and communities, as we saw in Syria, right, previously.

same type of thing, terrorism franchising going on over there all through the Lake Chad region actually. So that's where I think if it made sense to have some type of military action in forms of an airstrike or something like that, to be able to tamp down some of the leadership and break up some of that structure in there. That's something that would make sense. But to me, just speaking for myself, I want to try to work with the Nigerians for them to do the right thing here. President Trump obviously mentioned his true social, me specifically to look into this, which we are doing here in Congress. I want them to do the right thing. I think the Nigerians

actually have the chance right now to actually strengthen their relationship of the United States if they're going to do the right thing. But we can't allow to continue the slaughter of Christians, where we have over 7,000 just this year have been killed for being Christian. We can't allow that to continue as a Christian country ourselves, which we are. I know some might debate that, I promise you, and nobody knows more about the founding of this country than going back, is that this is a Christian nation founded on Christian values.

And we have to stand up for these people because nobody else is paying attention to this other than you and some folks at Fox News. And that's really about it. Well, I tell you, you know, I was planning on bringing my cameras with me and I was going to go to Nigeria in the first quarter. And I have had briefings and warnings from the highest levels. Do not go. You are not going. And I'm like, yes, I am. I want to bring this story.

And they're like, you can't go. I mean, I've been to war zones, and this one, they're like, this is the most dangerous place on Earth right now. That's pretty remarkable that nobody's really talking about it. It really is. And it's this silent genocide that's just continued on now since 2009, where we have in between 50 to 100,000 Christians murdered for their faith. our brothers and sisters over there suffering, and no one's done anything about it. You might remember they bring back our girls movement around 2000, 12-ish, 14. 70 of those girls have still never been brought back.

And it's just people just forgot about it. That's fine. You know, Boko Haram just has them. It's not fine. It's not okay. And there are a lot of levers that the administration is able to pull here, I think, to get the Nigerians on the right course. It's not that they don't have resources.

is this is an oil-rich country with a lot of critical minerals. They have the means to be able to do this. I think at the end of the day, it's a question of prioritization and what their actual goals are, and we need them to focus on this, or the president is going to start to focus on them. Well, I will tell you, you know, 19,000 churches have been burned, and yet from what I'm hearing,

there are some in the Nigerian government that are like, no, this is not what's happening. This is not genocide. It's not about Christians. It's just, you know, it's just squabbles. Well, there's really, 50 to 100,000 people and 19,000 churches have been burned in little squabbles that don't have anything to do with radicalized Islam? No, in the figures that, yeah, exactly. And the figures that I've gotten from folks on the ground is, look, do terrorists kill other people than Christians? Yes, of course they do. But we're talking about five to one is the ratio of Christians versus non-Christians being. killed over there right now. Secondly, I want to point out for everybody, President Trump put this designation on Nigeria in his first term. It was taken off by the Biden administration because

they claimed the killings had more to do with arable land and herders and actually the root cause was climate change. That's why these, yes, that's why these killings are happening because of climate change, which that's where we saw the murder rate just skyrocket during the Biden administration. And President Trump, who cares very deeply about these issues, he's not going to allow that to persist anymore. He said, if there is an attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs that attack our cherished Christians. I will tell you, I've been reading up on it and doing our homework. You know, it reminded me of how the Germans went into Poland, where they would just take whole communities,

and they would just put them in the church, and then lock the doors and then burn it to the ground. That's what's happening in Nigeria. They're doing the same thing. They're burning churches, not just burning churches. They're gathering Christians up, putting them in, locking the doors, and then burning it down. So all of these women and children and men die in a fire in their church.

Yeah. And it's horrific. It's horrific. What does the average person need to do? The average person needs to call their member of Congress and elevate this and make this an issue that is on their radar that they care about. I'm introducing a resolution, which would be a sense of Congress, that we support the president, and we support the people and the Christians of Nigeria and their plight. And we condemn what the Nigerian government is doing their inaction around this. So that resolution should be getting introduced here soon.

So that would be something that would be hugely helpful. It will be interesting to see who votes for that and who doesn't. That would have been a no-brainer 15 years ago. Just a no-brainer. And now I wonder if you can even get that passed. That's sad. It is sad. But I think we need to put it to the test.

Let's put it to the test. certainly, you know, if I'm whipping the votes, I don't have Elon Omar in my yes column. But, you know, let's put it to the test here. Riley, good to talk to you, my best of your family and your kids. Thank you so much. You bet. Congressman Riley Moore, you can follow him on an X at rep Riley more or Rileymore.com.com.
