The Charlie Kirk Show - Amnesty in Disguise is Still Amnesty

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:00:02.000 It's the executive producer you all love and know and are used to by now, Andrew Colvet.

00:00:08.000 Honored to be with you.

00:00:09.000 We're here at the mobilebitcoin.com studio.

00:00:12.000 We have a packed show, lots of stuff we got to get to, including a push for amnesty from guess who? Republicans on the hill.

00:00:20.000 We sniff it out, we call it out, and we tell you why you shouldn't take the bait.

00:00:24.000 We also talk about the rescission package, other things that Congress is approving, which are actually good. 0.99

00:00:30.000 And we bring in a special guest from the Middle East, a Druze person from the northern part of Israel.

00:00:36.000 And he talks about what actually happened in Israel yesterday.

00:00:39.000 There's a lot of disinformation, fake news out there about what happened.

00:00:43.000 We bring him on to explain it all.

00:00:45.000 And then guess what?

00:00:46.000 We get to call out the Democrats for being Johnny Cum lately opportunist on Epstein.

00:00:51.000 We tell them they can go stuff it.

00:00:52.000 Okay.

00:00:53.000 President Trump's approval ratings higher than ever with the bass.

00:00:56.000 We unpack it all right here.

00:02:30.000 Hello, everybody.

00:02:31.000 Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:02:33.000 Charlie Kirk is on assignment today.

00:02:35.000 It's your guest host.

00:02:37.000 Honored to be with you as always.

00:02:38.000 Andrew Colvett, executive producer of this fine show.

00:02:42.000 Always a pleasure.

00:02:43.000 Charlie's on assignment today.

00:02:45.000 Well earned, by the way.

00:02:46.000 I feel like we haven't stopped working genuinely for the last, you know, nine years.

00:02:52.000 No worse for wear, I hope.

00:02:54.000 But we tried to warn you, folks.

00:02:56.000 We tried to warn you.

00:02:58.000 And what am I talking about?

00:03:00.000 I'm talking about amnesty.

00:03:02.000 Amnesty by another name, soft amnesty, whatever you want to call it.

00:03:06.000 The amnesty drums in Washington are beating.

00:03:09.000 They are the only drums that are nearly as loud and as predictable as the war drums.

00:03:15.000 And we tried to warn you, but yet here we are after everything you've been through, after the incredible success that was November 5th, 2024, President Trump winning a landslide electoral victory, winning the popular vote, coming back from the political ashes to overtake this beautiful nation and govern it once more as the 47th president of the United States, promising mass deportations,

00:03:44.000 promising to set right the ills and the evils and the wrongs of the Biden administration that led in upwards, potentially as many as 20 million illegal immigrants.

00:03:57.000 Amnesty drums are once again beating, banging loudly.

00:04:02.000 And we tried to warn you.

00:04:04.000 I will never forget.

00:04:05.000 Charlie blew the whistle on this a couple of weeks ago.

00:04:08.000 And, you know, I couldn't help but see some of the comments online saying, oh, you're just doing this for clicks.

00:04:14.000 Oh, you're just trying to be an influencer, whatever.

00:04:16.000 No, this was very clear.

00:04:19.000 This was, we were getting warnings and heads up from official people, lawmakers, people with the knowledge of the proceedings, warning us that amnesty was going to be coming, that a bill was going to be proposed.

00:04:35.000 And sure enough, here we get the so-called Dignity Act of 2025.

00:04:43.000 I'm going to play the clip for you.

00:04:45.000 You decide and you tell me if we were just blowing smoke, if we were raising a false alarm for clicks, or if somebody just got proved extraordinarily and sadly right.

00:04:56.000 Play cut 402.

00:04:58.000 They did break the law.

00:05:00.000 They are illegals or undocumented, but they have been here for more than five years contributing to the economy.

00:05:06.000 Those people, someone gave them a job and they are needed because we need hands in order to continue being the number one economy in the world.

00:05:13.000 So why don't we do something solomonic and let's break the baby into two.

00:05:18.000 No path to citizenship in my law.

00:05:20.000 No amnesty.

00:05:21.000 No path ever.

00:05:23.000 Just bring them out of the shadows, make them pay a fine for seven years.

00:05:27.000 That is billions of dollars to the treasury.

00:05:29.000 Make them give us 1% of their salary over seven years.

00:05:34.000 No federal programs, no health insurance.

00:05:37.000 And then they can go back home for Christmas.

00:05:40.000 They can come back, continue working, buying homes, paying taxes, and contributing to the economy.

00:05:46.000 Do you see what she did there?

00:05:48.000 That's Rep Salazar from the Miami area in Florida.

00:05:51.000 Used to be a TV host.

00:05:54.000 Yep, that's the Dignity Act of 2025.

00:05:57.000 So full operational control of the border and E-Verify.

00:06:02.000 Well, those things should already be in place.

00:06:05.000 The basically saying if you get in, if you got into the United States before 2021, so before the Biden era, that you would be allowed to stay.

00:06:15.000 So cut all the garbage about no pathway to citizenship.

00:06:18.000 That's what they want you to focus on. 0.95

00:06:20.000 We don't care about that.

00:06:22.000 Okay, obviously we care, but that's not the main issue here.

00:06:25.000 No pathway to citizenship.

00:06:27.000 That's not the critical piece.

00:06:29.000 This is diet amnesty.

00:06:30.000 This is low calorie amnesty.

00:06:32.000 But in some ways, this is worse.

00:06:35.000 And let me explain why.

00:06:39.000 And we know this because we've talked to the people that are tasked with Trump's mass deportation.

00:06:45.000 Again, his very popular, very successful mass deportation policy.

00:06:52.000 And by the way, Congress just passed resources in the one big beautiful bill to execute upon.

00:06:58.000 And here's the key.

00:06:59.000 Here's the kicker.

00:07:00.000 Here's the ruse I want you to focus on. 1.00

00:07:03.000 There is no way to tell with most illegal immigrants when they enter the United States. 0.98

00:07:11.000 So all you have to do is say the magic words, oh, I came in 2020. 0.94

00:07:15.000 Oh, I came in 2019.

00:07:17.000 I've been working since then.

00:07:18.000 Well, we don't have any documentation.

00:07:20.000 Well, I can prove it, but it's going to take me some time.

00:07:22.000 Okay, well, let's put you in this court date in 18 years, and you can just stay and keep doing exactly what you're doing.

00:07:29.000 And by the way, while you're at it, maybe your TO and your TIA or whoever, whatever country you come from, is also going to be able to come.

00:07:39.000 Or maybe your sister or your brother already has permanent residency and they're going to bring their family members via chain migration and the cycle continues.

00:07:49.000 Now, so here's the deal.

00:07:51.000 It is not, this is not soft amnesty.

00:07:55.000 This will grind mass deportations to a halt.

00:08:00.000 Hear me again.

00:08:01.000 This will grind President Trump's very popular, very successful. 0.99

00:08:06.000 Majority of Americans want all illegals removed. 0.99

00:08:10.000 Poll after poll after poll, between 55 and 65% in the polling want all illegals deported.

00:08:18.000 Doesn't matter their status, doesn't matter their sob story, doesn't matter what loophole or what emotional trigger you want to use.

00:08:24.000 55 to 65, depending on the poll, of Americans, want deportations of all illegals.

00:08:31.000 And you could make a case that President Trump was elected because of a variety of things.

00:08:36.000 Trade agreements, ending all wars, men and women's sports.

00:08:42.000 All of these things are important, yes.

00:08:44.000 And President Trump has a massively popular platform.

00:08:48.000 Politically, policy-wise, everything's important.

00:08:52.000 But there is, inarguably, a cornerstone to it all.

00:08:57.000 And that is that we were going to put Americans first, once and for all, finally and forever, or at least while we have control.

00:09:05.000 So this is worse than soft amnesty.

00:09:09.000 And don't give me the line that just because there's no pathway to citizenship, that this doesn't count as amnesty.

00:09:15.000 This is creating a loophole that will be exploited.

00:09:19.000 And I want to take you back as well to the Simpson-Mazzoli Act of 1986.

00:09:24.000 And we talked about this on this show.

00:09:25.000 Charlie's talked about it at length.

00:09:27.000 Where we were promised limited amnesty for border security.

00:09:34.000 Well, we got the amnesty and it wasn't limited and we got zero border security.

00:09:38.000 We got zero immigration control.

00:09:42.000 Now they promised that that was going to be between 350, 500,000, and it ended up being about 3 million people because guess what? 0.97

00:09:51.000 Illegal immigrants that have broken your laws to get into your country in the first place are pretty good at continuing to exploit loopholes to allow them to stay. 1.00

00:10:02.000 Repeat, if they cheated to get in in the first place, they'll cheat to stay. 1.00

00:10:09.000 So do not, do not fall for it.

00:10:13.000 Do not fall for the soft amnesty.

00:10:16.000 Do not fall for the sob stories.

00:10:18.000 Don't fall for the crops are going to be rotting in the fields.

00:10:21.000 Don't fall for any of this stuff.

00:10:24.000 We are at a turning point, a linchpin, a pivot in our economy where we are being warned that college graduates that were born here, raised here, went to school here, are not able to get jobs because of the AI revolution.

00:10:40.000 And we need a lot of those people, yes, to go into the trades, but even the trades will eventually be subject to the same march of history that we're all staring down the barrel of.

00:10:51.000 We do not need to flood our country with more people.

00:10:53.000 We do not need to create loopholes for more people to stay and to exploit.

00:10:58.000 Because guess what?

00:11:01.000 When they say it's not amnesty, it always is amnesty, period.

00:11:08.000 When they say something to get you to soften your resolve, just remember, double down on your resolve, hold fast, and know they're lying to you.

00:11:19.000 No more sob stories.

00:11:21.000 We want what we voted for.

00:11:22.000 And that is the basic American promise.

00:11:24.000 What the people want, the people get.

00:11:28.000 No amnesty, no amnesty by another name.

00:11:31.000 Figure it out, folks.

00:11:34.000 We try to tell you, and here it is.

00:11:38.000 Ingredients.

00:11:39.000 When I flip a container around and cannot pronounce nor recognize the ingredients, I put it back.

00:11:44.000 That's why you'll find balance of nature, fruits, and veggies, supplements on a shelf in my home.

00:11:49.000 Every single ingredient is a fruit or veggie plucked from the soil.

00:11:53.000 No binders, no additives or artificial colors, no fillers.

00:11:59.000 These harvested ingredients are freeze-dried into a fine powder using an advanced vacuum-cold process to better preserve nutritional value.

00:12:07.000 I can say with absolute confidence that I'm getting 31 ingredients from fruits and veggies every single day with Balance of Nature.

00:12:41.000 So I was just going to play a couple pieces of tape here.

00:12:44.000 Obviously, immigration, massively an important issue for President Trump.

00:12:48.000 Candidly, it's my favorite issue to get behind President Trump on it.

00:12:52.000 And there's a whole laundry list of great issues.

00:12:55.000 But this is when you know that you're winning.

00:12:58.000 When you got Bernie Sanders, died in the wool, basically, he's a socialist, but he might be really more like a communist.

00:13:06.000 He used to be all on the immigration restrictionism.

00:13:11.000 He used to be on that team.

00:13:13.000 Then he flaked because it became not popular anymore with the Democrat base.

00:13:16.000 And now even he is starting to sound a certain way, almost like he's, you know, put his finger to the wind, felt which direction the country was going.

00:13:26.000 393.

00:13:27.000 Look, this is where I think the American people are at.

00:13:33.000 If you are a drug dealer, if you are somebody in this country undocumented or has committed a crime, I think most people think, hey, have a nice day.

00:13:43.000 You're out of here. 1.00

00:13:44.000 And I support that.

00:13:46.000 Ah, so even Bernie is trying to say, hey, listen, I'm not crazy on immigration.

00:13:50.000 Well, your party is. 0.99

00:13:52.000 Mamdani is. 0.99

00:13:54.000 These people are legitimately nuts when it comes to this. 0.99

00:13:56.000 They don't want you to have a country. 0.99

00:13:57.000 They don't want you to have a border.

00:13:59.000 And the last thing we need is some weaken the need Republicans in the House to start giving them ammunition to soften up.

00:14:06.000 No, you advance.

00:14:09.000 You don't retreat.

00:14:09.000 You push forward.

00:14:10.000 You push forward.

00:14:12.000 This is why we love Stephen Miller, right?

00:14:14.000 There's this great meme, by the way.

00:14:16.000 It's like, you know, trust the plan, get nervous about the plan.

00:14:20.000 Read Stephen Miller's tweets.

00:14:22.000 Trust the plan.

00:14:23.000 I mean, Stephen Miller is a stalwart on immigration, and we love him for it.

00:14:28.000 And this is him confirming that we've already got a million self-deportations.

00:14:32.000 We've known that on this show.

00:14:33.000 If you watch the show every day, we've known that for a while.

00:14:36.000 I've heard unconfirmed, take with a grain of salt.

00:14:40.000 I heard that number is actually more like 1.5 million now.

00:14:43.000 It's happening every day as we speak.

00:14:45.000 Tens of thousands of people are leaving because we're being serious about immigration for once.

00:14:52.000 391.

00:14:53.000 If illegal aliens understand the consequences of staying versus the opportunities of leaving, we're going to see millions and millions more self-deportations.

00:15:02.000 Because if you stay, here's the consequences. 0.89

00:15:04.000 You face sudden arrest, sudden deportation.

00:15:07.000 If you choose to self-deport, you can go back home.

00:15:10.000 You do have the opportunity to apply for legal entry if you wish to do so in the future.

00:15:15.000 And you're going to get a $1,000 check on your way out.

00:15:18.000 This is a very clear choice.

00:15:20.000 And we're seeing over a million legal aliens are clearly choosing just to go back to their countries.

00:15:26.000 That's great.

00:15:28.000 You don't need dignity of act of 2025.

00:15:32.000 Just you get the dignity of like, hey, we're not going to arrest you.

00:15:35.000 We're not going to attack you in the streets.

00:15:37.000 Just come check in on the app.

00:15:39.000 We're going to give you $1,000 free flight home.

00:15:41.000 It's going to be amazing.

00:15:42.000 And by the way, that saves U.S. taxpayers' money.

00:15:46.000 It's something like $17,500 per arrest and deportation.

00:15:50.000 And it's only, you know, it's like 4,500 bucks when you add it all up to get them home and to do it in a nice, peaceful, civil way.

00:15:57.000 But again, let's keep our eye on the prize, folks.

00:16:00.000 This is not about, you know, crops rotting.

00:16:04.000 This is what they always say.

00:16:06.000 This is what they always say.

00:16:07.000 Why we raised the alarm so loudly a couple weeks ago.

00:16:10.000 And, you know, the clips went viral.

00:16:12.000 Everybody's talking about it.

00:16:14.000 There is a prize for us.

00:16:15.000 Now, we're starting to see this. 0.99

00:16:17.000 Job gains, native-born Americans.

00:16:19.000 They are through the roof, over 2 million of them. 1.00

00:16:22.000 Job losses for foreigners.

00:16:24.000 It's down almost 500,000. 1.00

00:16:27.000 This is good.

00:16:28.000 This is the social compact playing out.

00:16:30.000 That you were born in this country. 0.99

00:16:31.000 You will die in this country. 0.77

00:16:32.000 You will raise your kids in this country. 1.00

00:16:34.000 And guess what?

00:16:35.000 Your country will consider you before all others, your dignity, your welfare, your job prospects.

00:16:41.000 And again, Stephen Miller gets it.

00:16:43.000 421.

00:16:44.000 Do you have any idea how many resources will be opened up for Americans when the illegals are gone?

00:16:50.000 No more waiting in line at an emergency room. 0.94

00:16:52.000 No more massive traffic in Los Angeles.

00:16:55.000 Your health insurance premiums go down.

00:16:58.000 Your public school classroom size will shrink dramatically.

00:17:01.000 They have more time to educate every student.

00:17:04.000 You won't have to compete for public benefits.

00:17:07.000 If you're hard, if you're down in your luck, you're having a hard time, and you do need to get support from the government. 1.00

00:17:12.000 You're not going to be in line buying millions of illegal aliens from the third world. 0.86

00:17:16.000 This is going to be such a gift to the quality of life of everyday Americans, Jesse.

00:17:20.000 It's hard to even express the wonders that await for working people.

00:17:24.000 It's hard to even express the wonders that await.

00:17:28.000 Folks, I'm not trying to be cruel, obviously.

00:17:31.000 I think you guys know the heart of this show.

00:17:33.000 I hope, hopefully, you know where I come from on this.

00:17:36.000 If you give them an inch, they will take a mile.

00:17:39.000 If you carve out a little loophole, they will be exploiting that till the kingdom come, and we don't have enough lawyers or courts to handle all of that backlog.

00:17:49.000 You have to be firm, you have to be resolute, and you have to get the job done.

00:17:53.000 And that's it.

00:17:57.000 America is at a crossroads.

00:17:59.000 Families and communities are shaken by instability, gripped by fear, and dealing with profound political instability.

00:18:06.000 In these uncertain times, too many people are turning to desperate measures and false promises for answers.

00:18:12.000 But here's the truth: the mission of the church has never been more clear and necessary.

00:19:41.000 I'm very excited by our next guest.

00:19:44.000 I wanted to cover this story today, and it was like, I felt like there was just this divine appointment where I was able to connect and talk about what's happening in Syria with the Druze.

00:19:57.000 And here to help me unpack that is Mansur Ashkar.

00:20:01.000 He actually is based in Israel, right on the border there.

00:20:05.000 So, Mansur, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:20:09.000 Honored to have you.

00:20:10.000 I'm so sorry for what's happening to your people. 1.00

00:20:13.000 You are Druze. 1.00

00:20:14.000 Now, I'll let you explain the backstory, what the current situation is on the ground. 1.00

00:20:22.000 But yesterday over on the internet, I mean, all I was seeing was pictures of, oh, Israel is bombing Syria.

00:20:29.000 And so, I wanted to unpack what that means.

00:20:31.000 Bibi Netya, who has made a statement.

00:20:33.000 We'll get there.

00:20:34.000 Please, tell us about yourself and what the current situation is.

00:20:38.000 Well, thanks for having me on your show.

00:20:40.000 I'm a big fan.

00:20:41.000 I follow you guys quite a lot.

00:20:42.000 I'm an Israeli Druze.

00:20:43.000 I was a former officer in the IDF in the special forces and a former negotiator.

00:20:47.000 And I also grew up in this land.

00:20:49.000 My family, all their relatives are from Lebanon, Syria, and Israel.

00:20:54.000 It's funny that you mentioned that it came to the attention of many Americans only when Israel bombed in Syria.

00:21:00.000 And that shows us again how mainstream media choose what to show and what not to show because they didn't show that for three days before that, there was an October 7, pretty much that was going on the Druze community in Syria.

00:21:13.000 Babies were slaughtered, elderly sheikhs had their beard shaved like the Holocaust and then executed.

00:21:19.000 An 80-year-old sheikh and many others going, they slaughtered the whole hospital, the Jolani people, by the way, the government of Syria, not Al-Qaeda or ISIS. 0.94

00:21:29.000 The government did that alongside the ISIS fighters in Al-Qaeda. 0.99

00:21:34.000 They were all going together to slaughter the Druze. 0.93

00:21:36.000 They brought tanks, they brought artillery, grad missile, that's Russian missiles, to attack a village, basically, in the aim to ethnically cleanse.

00:21:46.000 But mainstream media did not mention that.

00:21:48.000 Now, the only reason it got stopped is because Israel went and shot a rocket at Jaulani's Ministry of Defense house.

00:21:57.000 We saw that video, kind of crazy video.

00:21:58.000 She's sitting there talking, and then the building explodes behind. 0.50

00:22:01.000 That's basically the Pentagon of Syria.

00:22:03.000 So only then, and they took down many of the tanks that came to murder civilians, only then these jihadists got scared and started running back and went back with their tails between their legs because Israel came and told them: if you try to kill these minorities, by the way, Christians as well, they burned churches, they killed Christians.

00:22:23.000 I have sources on the ground in Syria that are fighting in the front line, including ones that are at home.

00:22:29.000 Usually, the older brother will go to war with his gun to defend his family, and the younger one, his father will come and put a gun in his hand and tell him, Son, you just became a man.

00:22:38.000 You don't let them come to this house and you don't let them take your mother or your sister alive.

00:22:43.000 So that's the situation.

00:22:44.000 Now, I see you might want to have some questions, so please let me know.

00:22:48.000 So I don't just kind of run.

00:22:49.000 Yeah, no, no.

00:22:50.000 I appreciate it.

00:22:51.000 I mean, again, my heart goes out to your people.

00:22:54.000 And, you know, for those who don't know, you know, Druze is a religion that a lot of people are not in America, especially are not familiar with.

00:23:03.000 It's monotheistic.

00:23:06.000 You guys, Druze keep their religious beliefs secret from outsiders.

00:23:11.000 There are about 150,000 Druze in Israel, which it sounds like that's your community.

00:23:17.000 So making up about 10% of the Arab citizens of Israel and about half the population of the Golan Heights, which is interesting.

00:23:25.000 There's about a million Druze overall. 0.93

00:23:28.000 It's a spin-off of Islam going back about a thousand years. 0.97

00:23:31.000 So they're an Abrahamic monotheistic religion and they see Jesus and Muhammad as prophets.

00:23:36.000 But again, this is pretty obscure for most Americans, right?

00:23:41.000 And we don't have to get into all the theology of it, but you said something I think that's really important.

00:23:46.000 So we see the rise of Ahmad's name again here.

00:23:52.000 Al-Shara.

00:23:53.000 Al-Shara. 0.53

00:23:54.000 So the new leader of Syria.

00:23:57.000 And we've been hearing these reports that Christians are getting targeted. 1.00

00:24:01.000 And now Druze. 0.91

00:24:04.000 Separate fact from fiction.

00:24:05.000 Why are they doing this?

00:24:07.000 Are they trying, is this new leadership of Syria, are they targeting Christian Jews out of pure ethnic cleansing?

00:24:14.000 Like, what's the motivation here? 0.77

00:24:16.000 Pure ethnic cleansing and the will to build the Muslim ummah over Syria and later on over the world. 0.96

00:24:24.000 The thing is with Ahmed al-Shara al-Jawlani, it's very interesting to me how someone with an Olympic track record of a terrorist, not just a normal terrorist, he was in Al-Qaeda and ISIS at its prime, became a general, a very high official in these two, and then jumped and created his own terrorist organization. 0.98

00:24:41.000 And then one day he just puts a jacket and started looking like a hipster and people start believing that he's a good guy. 0.56

00:24:47.000 Everything up until now shows that he had clear intention of killing anyone in Syria that is not Muslim, that is not Sunnah also. 0.83

00:24:54.000 And he started doing that to the Christians. 0.97

00:24:56.000 He started doing it to Alawites. 1.00

00:24:57.000 And now he's trying to do that to the Druze. 0.51

00:24:59.000 Actually, I just translated an audio message that was sent by some of the officials from his regime to the soldiers of his government in Arabic. 0.53

00:25:10.000 And I put it in my Instagram with English and Hebrew subtitles.

00:25:13.000 And it says this. 1.00

00:25:15.000 Please stop using cameras, your phones, when you're going to slaughter these Druze pigs. 1.00

00:25:21.000 Shave their beards, slaughter them, slit the throat, do what? 1.00

00:25:24.000 Burn their houses. 1.00

00:25:25.000 Just don't use cameras. 0.98

00:25:26.000 And listen to the next part.

00:25:27.000 He said, don't do the same mistake that we did in the coast. 0.80

00:25:30.000 He's referring to when they killed the Christians.

00:25:33.000 Over there, we did that and that backfired.

00:25:35.000 So do all these things.

00:25:36.000 Just don't film it.

00:25:38.000 And then he adds another command to them.

00:25:40.000 The IDF Air Force is coming to target us.

00:25:43.000 They want to stop us from committing a genocide.

00:25:45.000 So start using human shields.

00:25:48.000 Start hiding among the population and hide your tanks and vehicles and toyotas between the houses. 0.89

00:25:54.000 So you're getting a very clear Hamas style, Hezbollah-style order to commit the worst thing on the face of this planet. 0.76

00:26:00.000 Just please don't film it. 0.97

00:26:02.000 And they did it to the Christians. 1.00

00:26:03.000 They're doing it right now to the Druze. 1.00

00:26:05.000 That's the image.

00:26:06.000 This sheikh is 80 years old, peaceful man.

00:26:11.000 And they're doing that.

00:26:12.000 That's the army, by the way. 0.93

00:26:14.000 And they're doing that with glee, with rejoicing, just like we signed the Holocaust when they gathered the rabbis. 0.93

00:26:20.000 Mansur, can you explain what the significance of shaving the beard of a Druze person is? 0.93

00:26:28.000 What does that mean? 0.88

00:26:29.000 And why is it such an insult?

00:26:31.000 So the Druze religion sees himself descended from Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, the father of Tsippoah, that welcomed Moses to his tribe and taught him leadership and everything.

00:26:41.000 And that's why they see themselves very connected to Judaism and Christianity, by the way.

00:26:45.000 That's where they see themselves originated.

00:26:47.000 The Druze believe that once you become a religious man, you detach yourself from earthly pleasures, like putting jewelry, trying to take care.

00:26:56.000 And they grow this beard and they're very famous for the mustache. 0.95

00:26:58.000 That's a very sign, like, you know, of just like the Jews have the tzitzit, you know, that comes out of their hair. 1.00

00:27:04.000 That's their current kind of things. 1.00

00:27:05.000 So the Druze have their mustache. 0.84

00:27:07.000 They're very known to very, very proud, long mustaches, a little bit kind of monks, kind of the looks.

00:27:13.000 And the Muslims, they know that. 0.90

00:27:15.000 And they know that in order to humiliate the Druze, before they execute them, they shave their beard, which is just like the Nazis did to the Jews. 0.98

00:27:24.000 Interesting. 0.81

00:27:25.000 And then do we know what happened to that gentleman after this?

00:27:28.000 Do we have any?

00:27:29.000 He got executed.

00:27:31.000 Him and many others.

00:27:31.000 Yeah.

00:27:34.000 I would say this.

00:27:35.000 Could I share a personal story that explains this whole thing in the best way so the West can understand?

00:27:40.000 Please.

00:27:41.000 And I'll do it very quick because I know we're running out of time.

00:27:44.000 There were three genocidal attempts in the area of the Middle East in the last two years.

00:27:50.000 And all three of them were stopped by Israel.

00:27:53.000 First, Hamas came and tried to genocide all the Jews.

00:27:56.000 They stopped them because Israel, the IDF, contained it.

00:27:59.000 They would have if they could have. 1.00

00:28:00.000 Their aim was to kill all the Jews. 0.99

00:28:02.000 Second, Hezbollah wanted to do the same. 0.99

00:28:03.000 Israel stopped them. 0.64

00:28:05.000 Third was Iran. 0.99

00:28:06.000 They wanted to nuke basically Israel. 0.93

00:28:08.000 Israel stopped them from the genocidal plan. 0.97

00:28:10.000 Now, the fourth one is the Syrians came to genocide basically or exterminate, ethnically cleanse the Druze. 0.94

00:28:16.000 If the Druze men would have fallen down in their mountain, no one would have stopped the slaughter. 0.96

00:28:21.000 They were moving house to house, murdering women, children, burning them, cutting their heads, putting it outside the doors as they moved to the next house. 0.94

00:28:30.000 Terrible, terrible things we saw in ISIS doing it.

00:28:33.000 And then Israel intervened.

00:28:34.000 Now, where the story becomes personal.

00:28:36.000 My relative, which I didn't know he existed until the Assad regime fell down, sent me a message and told him, Ansur, they're outside of our house right now.

00:28:46.000 They're coming to kill us. 0.81

00:28:47.000 I am here.

00:28:48.000 He's a young man.

00:28:48.000 I'm here.

00:28:49.000 My father told me to protect the family.

00:28:51.000 I don't know what to do.

00:28:52.000 And I'm trying to talk to him and then I lose contact for three days.

00:28:55.000 I don't hear from the guy.

00:28:56.000 And I'm thinking the worst things possible.

00:28:58.000 What happened to him?

00:28:58.000 Only today I heard from him.

00:29:00.000 He sent me a message and he told me, Thank you, Israel.

00:29:05.000 Thank you, the IDF.

00:29:06.000 They came and they gathered us outside and they started torturing us, investigating.

00:29:11.000 They wanted to see if we have any weapons before they kill us.

00:29:13.000 And just before they came to execute us, the fighter jets of Israel came roaring in the skies and these jihadists got scared. 0.75

00:29:20.000 Then some of their men managed to jump out and grab their weapons and other Druze came to the village and fought and pushed them back. 0.59

00:29:26.000 They managed to escape under the fire of tanks, artillery, and military drones that apparently were provided by Qatar and Turkey. 0.88

00:29:35.000 They managed to escape the village, barely survived, only to come back a few days later after the IDF took care of these very satanic, evil, radical jihadists to find that their houses were burned, looted.

00:29:50.000 There's trucks, videos of Bedouins and jihadists driving with trucks full of chandeliers, crosses, everything that they can loot from.

00:30:01.000 They usually melt these things.

00:30:02.000 They're from a church, from a khilweh, that's the Druze synagogue, from the houses. 0.99

00:30:07.000 So Israel saved them.

00:30:10.000 And then the world, what does the world come and say?

00:30:12.000 Israel is attacking Syria.

00:30:14.000 Israel goes out of its way.

00:30:16.000 And so let me read you from Bibi Netanyahu.

00:30:20.000 He said, I want to update you on what we've done in Syria and what we will do in Syria.

00:30:24.000 We've set a clear policy, demilitarization of the area south of Damascus, from the Golan Heights to Jabal al-Druz region.

00:30:31.000 That's one red line. 1.00

00:30:33.000 And then he explained that he was doing this to save the Druze.

00:30:38.000 And he shares a story from Sheikh Mawafak Tarif.

00:30:44.000 Yeah, the leader of the Druze community in Israel.

00:30:46.000 He said it the following: During the Holocaust, when your people, the Jews, were being slaughtered, you cried out for help and no one came.

00:30:52.000 Today, our people, the Druze, are being slaughtered, and we are calling for the help of the state of Israel. 0.94

00:30:58.000 And I said, he's right. 0.83

00:30:59.000 We acted and we'll continue to act as needed. 0.89

00:31:01.000 So, I mean, he saved a genocide. 0.89

00:31:05.000 I mean, I think that's fair to say in this instance. 0.61

00:31:09.000 And when the haters say that this Bibi's just doing this because it's a land grab in the south part of Syria, what do you say to that?

00:31:18.000 I said that's the silliest thing in the world.

00:31:20.000 Israel has been engaged in war in seven fronts for more than 600 days.

00:31:24.000 We've depleted our army.

00:31:26.000 Our soldiers are tired and exhausted. 0.67

00:31:28.000 Do you really think we're going to go and look for another war in another foreign land to save people that are not citizens of Israel, not Jewish, from their own government that want to kill their own citizens? 1.00

00:31:38.000 That is the dumbest thing in the world. 0.93

00:31:40.000 Israel did that because they are doing the right thing, which is the call for Israel to be light for the nations. 0.99

00:31:46.000 And I wish that America and other countries will do that to protect Christians around the world.

00:31:50.000 Yeah, amen.

00:31:51.000 We need to be protecting the Christians in Syria.

00:31:54.000 That's an absolute mandate.

00:31:55.000 I wish I had more time, Munster.

00:31:57.000 Thank you so much for making the time, brother.

00:31:59.000 Thank you and be well.

00:32:54.000 Go to yrefi.com.

00:32:55.000 That is why.com.

00:32:59.000 All right.

00:33:00.000 So we have covered a lot of ground here.

00:33:03.000 One thing I didn't tell you about yet, and it's very important, is the rescission package.

00:33:08.000 And I'm not going to spend this whole segment on it, but it's very, very important.

00:33:13.000 And we have now successfully proved that you can defund some stuff in D.C.

00:33:22.000 The Act canceled, and it's passed, and the act cancels $8.3 billion in funding for foreign aid programs, including $2.5 from the development assistance out of $3.9 billion that has been appropriated.

00:33:36.000 So $2.5, almost the vast majority of it.

00:33:38.000 $1.65 billion from the Economic Support Fund, which promotes stability in other countries.

00:33:44.000 Sure.

00:33:45.000 $1 billion from global health programs through USAID.

00:33:50.000 $800 million from migration and refugee services.

00:33:53.000 That's too bad, isn't it?

00:33:55.000 $500 million and $400 million from global health programs under different headings in the full year continuing Appropriations Act 2025.

00:34:06.000 It also eliminates, it permanently rescinds $1.1 billion in funding for the corporation of public broadcasting for fiscal year 2026 and 2027, effectively cutting federal support for NPR and PBS.

00:34:23.000 How do you guys like them apples?

00:34:26.000 That is some good news right there, folks.

00:34:28.000 So we have essentially cut off the most biased, biased news media outlet.

00:34:36.000 Well, I mean, it's tough to say who's the most biased, isn't it?

00:34:41.000 But it's certainly very good news.

00:34:44.000 And, you know, three cheers for our friends in Congress for actually cutting some spending.

00:34:50.000 Let's go ahead and play cut for 16.

00:34:53.000 As far as the accusations that we're biased, I would stand up and say, please show me a story that concerns you because we want to know and we want to bring that conversation back to our newsroom.

00:35:02.000 Oh, we could show you.

00:35:04.000 I have some first-hand experience from that.

00:35:08.000 So here's the other thing.

00:35:09.000 I just want to show you.

00:35:10.000 And this is just so rich.

00:35:13.000 With everything swirling in the news, everything going on, you know, Trump, you got to give it to him.

00:35:20.000 I know there's been consternation.

00:35:21.000 I know all this stuff.

00:35:22.000 But guess what?

00:35:23.000 His approval rating with the base is up 387.

00:35:28.000 Yeah, I mean, look, I think this one surprised me a bit because of all these complaints online going after Trump and the X team Fajy might think his approval ratings were going down, Republicans.

00:35:38.000 If anything, they're going up.

00:35:40.000 Republicans who approve of Trump, look at our CNN poll.

00:35:42.000 The prior one, 86%, the one out this week, 88% with Republicans.

00:35:46.000 How about Quinnipiac?

00:35:47.000 The prior poll, 87% approval of Republicans.

00:35:50.000 This week out, 90% with Republicans.

00:35:53.000 If anything, Donald Trump's approval rating has gone up since this whole Epstein saga started.

00:35:58.000 He is at the apex or close there too in terms of his popularity with Republican voters.

00:36:03.000 Epstein files complaints or not.

00:36:07.000 It's just got to sting if you're a Democrat or if you're somebody at CNN who just is like gloating over MAGA having a, you know, an internal dialogue.

00:36:18.000 Okay, that's what it is.

00:36:18.000 It's an internal dialogue.

00:36:20.000 Teflon Don strikes again.

00:36:22.000 And this, so this is where I'm going to get a little feisty.

00:36:25.000 This is Jamie Raskin.

00:36:26.000 But guess what?

00:36:27.000 Joe Scarborough called him out.

00:36:29.000 I mean, credit where it's due.

00:36:31.000 Play cut 405.

00:36:32.000 This is, okay, before we play it, this is Joe Scarborough calling him out for why didn't you care about Epstein, you know, when you controlled the Department of Justice, Jamie.

00:36:42.000 Where was your calls then?

00:36:43.000 405.

00:36:44.000 They congressman could have gotten that from 21 to 25 when Democrats controlled the DOJ.

00:36:52.000 It was a crisis then.

00:36:53.000 It's a crisis now.

00:36:56.000 Why didn't Democrats call for it from 21 to 25?

00:37:00.000 So, I mean, you'd have to go back and look specifically at particular prosecutorial decisions and what was taking place in terms of the other cases.

00:37:11.000 So I don't know.

00:37:12.000 We could try to reconstruct that record.

00:37:15.000 But the point is, is that Donald Trump is the one who has led the crusade to say that Epstein, who was his very close friend, and there's all kinds of pictures of them.

00:37:29.000 The cat's got Jamie's tongue.

00:37:31.000 Finally, you got to love it.

00:37:33.000 So this, I'll just say this.

00:37:35.000 All you Democrats out there, all you activists in the media, and you're gloating and all this stuff.

00:37:40.000 Well, guess what?

00:37:41.000 Your polls are down.

00:37:42.000 President Trump's polls are up.

00:37:44.000 We're going to be just fine.

00:37:46.000 We're going to get to the bottom of it.

00:37:48.000 There's going to be movement.

00:37:48.000 Don't worry about that.

00:37:49.000 But guess what?

00:37:50.000 If you're going to jump on the bandwagon now, when you were in power for four years and controlled the DOJ and didn't say squat, you can kindly sit this one out.

00:38:00.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:38:02.000 We'll talk to you soon.
