something that hasn't gotten a lot of attention that should have uh is what's happening in
00:00:21.720
Armenia and um uh all I can think of is Kirkapistan but it's uh Azerbaijan thank you Stu um in
00:00:35.380
Azerbaijan there is a liquidation going on a genocide going on again of the Armenian people
00:00:43.280
the Armenian people are the first that's the first Christian nation on earth and it is the
00:00:51.320
it is the Armenian genocide uh around world war one that actually taught Hitler I can go just erase a
00:00:59.500
whole bunch of people and the world won't say anything about it you know when they say that
00:01:05.120
history repeats itself some will say no it doesn't well maybe it rhymes uh this is history repeating
00:01:12.420
itself currently uh under the gun the liquidation of Christians Armenian Christians and Jews
00:01:21.100
ambassador uh Brownback is with us now Sam Brownback he's the national committee for
00:01:27.520
the religious freedom he's chairman of that he's also an ambassador at large and former
00:01:33.340
Kansas governor and good friend of the program Sam how are you sir hey I'm doing well Glenn and
00:01:39.020
thank you for addressing this topic it's just getting precious little play and more people
00:01:44.020
need to know about it we have been following it um from really the beginning we've been doing it
00:01:51.580
quietly because there's not a lot of people that know about it and it's getting no play and uh it it
00:01:58.580
needs to be understood so you were just there can you can you tell us what's happening yes you've got
00:02:06.760
Turkey basically behind Azerbaijan and it's best to think of Azerbaijan like Belarus is to Russia
00:02:14.880
Turkey's the puppet master here and they are pushing and allowing and uh giving military armament
00:02:24.080
to Azerbaijan as we have uh and they're they're pushing to have this done while the Biden administration
00:02:30.900
is looking another way or is being feckless in our response that's basically what's happened is they
00:02:37.400
have long term wanted Armenia and these Christian enclaves out of there it's a bone in their throat
00:02:45.680
Erdogan the head of Turkey is an Islamist he wants to take over the world certainly this region
00:02:53.380
and he's doing this while the United States is distracted we have a hundred thousand um refugees
00:03:02.240
now from uh this region in Azerbaijan it is a it's right it's almost like a uh a Native American
00:03:11.760
reservation here in America it's right smack in the middle uh surrounded by Azerbaijan but it's
00:03:18.800
Armenian and then there's this corridor that connects to Armenia and they have been starving these people
00:03:25.800
out they've been cutting off uh everything about a hundred thousand have escaped how many more are
00:03:33.020
are there probably 20,000 uh that are still there but here again Glenn and this is the big point to me
00:03:44.880
is this is yet another ancient Christian population being driven out of this Middle East
00:03:53.500
kind of extended region uh and what will happen they'll go to Armenia they'll be absorbed into Europe
00:04:01.120
into the United States Australia Canada uh but it'll be another one gone and we just kind of we've had
00:04:08.480
tools to sanction Azerbaijan to sanction Turkey to press and put some real teeth out there we can stop
00:04:16.140
arming Azerbaijan and we've not used any of these tools that are readily available to the administration
00:04:22.540
how connected is this to it what's happening in Israel
00:04:26.820
well I've argued that Armenia is to Christendom what Israel is to uh Judaism it's kind of the first and
00:04:37.420
now Israel is the only Jewish nation but Armenia is the first and you've got Muslim populations
00:04:45.220
surrounding both trying to kick them out uh and this is a play you you see often in the Middle East
00:04:54.220
where there's just not tolerance uh for Christians or Jews and and that's why I've been pushing so much
00:05:01.160
for religious freedom for everybody everywhere and this is the standard by which governments and
00:05:07.400
nations should stand by and we're certainly not seeing it taking place in either of these
00:05:13.060
situations talking to Ambassador Sam Brombeck um Sam the the administration yes you know you say is
00:05:22.000
asleep at the switch but uh I have a hard time believing that all of these things I mean if you see what
00:05:28.540
is how much money this administration has been sending Iran without us really even knowing it
00:05:35.460
um they're on the wrong side of of things but would you say that this is the way the world looks
00:05:44.060
if we don't turn America around yes look look what you've got you've got a an axis of evil or evil axis
00:05:54.060
malign axis whatever you want to call it between Iran Russia and China and they're out to take over the
00:06:00.780
world uh and they've been losing ground but now they're out there pushing to gain background so
00:06:08.560
Russia goes after Ukraine Iran is behind uh Hamas and Hezbollah and pushing on Israel Turkey a regional
00:06:18.260
player is saying let's go get uh these Armenians which we've wanted to do for a thousand years
00:06:24.740
let's do it now well we have an administration in Washington that won't that won't fight back
00:06:30.040
won't use the tools that's available and I have no idea honestly Glenn why the Biden administration
00:06:36.540
isn't doing more in these situations they have the tools we have the ability to do this and we're
00:06:42.960
simply not acting here what do you suggest Sam what can we do what can people do
00:06:48.940
well I they can push Congress uh and I I hope people even will write the administration
00:06:57.400
they they but they can Congress can step up and do and and put this a lot more out there on the uh
00:07:04.960
on the map would be something that people could help uh could help out with because we've got to
00:07:10.500
sanction Azerbaijan and we've got to sanction Turkey and right now we've got to really go after Iran
00:07:16.520
they're the puppet master on Hamas and Hezbollah that Hamas and Hezbollah do not act without Iran
00:07:24.480
and we've been sending money to Iran instead of sanctioning Iran as you pointed out this has to
00:07:31.040
stop and people need to yell about it and call into radio programs and and put it out on their social
00:07:37.140
media Iran and this axis of evil and Turkey as a regional player just seeking to take over the world
00:07:44.840
while we're not acting at all Sam I appreciate everything that you guys are doing can you tell
00:07:51.760
me a little bit about the 120,000 region uh reasons coalition it's a group of of Christians and Jews
00:07:59.900
uh primarily that are trying to stand up for this ancient Christian population and saying they need
00:08:06.400
to be able to live in their native homeland that's been native to them for thousands of years
00:08:11.320
and not being driven out and that's what this coalition is standing up and pushing and and it's
00:08:17.660
one of the coalitions that's trying to get some publicity some knowledge of people out there about
00:08:23.620
this ancient Christian population of Armenians that are primarily orthodox Christians uh but love their
00:08:31.300
faith love God and are being driven out and in a second genocide Senator Brownback thank you so much or
00:08:40.740
sorry Ambassador Brownback thank you so much for being on with us appreciate all you do you bet
00:08:45.780
120,000 region reasons.org 120,000 reasons.org this is something that everybody should check out
00:08:54.860
um and you should share it with your church we have got to do more there's you know Stu said to me about
00:09:04.520
15 minutes ago there's not a lot of good I'm not seeing a lot of light in the world I am and let me
00:09:10.340
tell you about it as I said to uh Sam and I don't even know if he knows this but uh the Nazarene fund
00:09:18.260
is on the ground in Armenia and Azerbaijan we have been doing this uh quietly because there's I mean
00:09:29.320
you're you're so focused on other things but we know what's going on and it is time now to pay attention
00:09:35.440
because it is with what happened in Iran this is going to run all across the world
00:09:42.800
so we are on the ground right now helping with temporary housing and life-sustaining food and
00:09:49.920
medicine we are looking to move those who are in danger away from the border in the dangerous areas
00:09:56.280
there's a hundred thousand refugees right now in Armenia and the immediate concern is just securing
00:10:02.740
warm shelter before the winter arrives it's unforgiving in Armenia we deployed in Armenia began um
00:10:13.640
began our work there preliminary results suggest 300 to 400 Armenians are unaccounted for
00:10:21.820
some have chosen to remain in their home enclave while others have feared being injured or killed
00:10:27.720
or facing imminent danger from Azerbaijani forces some of the casualties are a result of large explosions at
00:10:37.320
a crowded gas station which left dozens of dead people and unaccounted we are in contact with 15 to
00:10:44.060
20 families whose loved ones predominantly men are missing our team has already located recovered and
00:10:51.100
removed the remains of a father and his son who were across the border providing
00:10:55.940
some closure for their families also residents of border towns many of whom have family members
00:11:04.240
considered as war heroes are currently under threat we are committed to their protection our team has
00:11:09.940
also begun extending financial assistance for rent and medical care and food to numerous families
00:11:15.400
there is grave concerns that this is going to get much much worse these are Christians that just want to be
00:11:28.200
left alone they are the oldest Christian nation and they are being liquidated
00:11:34.560
if you'd like to help us you can I'm doing a fundraiser this weekend and gosh I could really use your help
00:11:48.220
we we've we've got all these rich people who I tend to I intend to just bilk and bilk and bilk all weekend
00:11:55.800
to get as much money as we can to help the Nazarene Fund this is this is the fundraiser Mercury One does and
00:12:03.100
the Nazarene Fund is under the umbrella of Mercury One Mercury One is our charitable organization
00:12:10.660
and between that and the Nazarene Fund we are all over the world right now we have one of our own
00:12:19.940
we have one of our own uh here from the blaze um that is in Israel and can't get out
00:12:34.020
uh there was I from what I've heard there were tens of thousands of people at the airport yesterday
00:12:41.620
trying to get out and the White House said oh yeah everybody can get out there's plenty of ways to get
00:12:47.340
out really how how we're doing it again but we are determined to do everything we can as private
00:12:59.840
citizens to help if you'd like to help Mercury One just keep its lights on which is so important
00:13:08.040
all the people we hire we don't take the money donated to help people in Israel or or Armenia or
00:13:15.600
wherever 100 percent of that minus the credit card fee goes directly to that so we have to do a
00:13:23.660
fundraiser every year so I can legitimately tell you 100 percent of every dollar raised goes there it
00:13:29.220
doesn't go for from some phone system or you know somebody's life insurance or whatever
00:13:33.880
and that's what we're doing this weekend and the tickets are all sold but you can uh help just bid on
00:13:42.100
we got a lot of cool stuff and you know just bid on some things in our silent auction at mercuryone.org
00:13:49.280
uh you could come out with with something after the weekend or just go to mercuryone.org
00:14:02.800
step two number one I told you it's time to choose sides know what side you're on you're either on the
00:14:16.300
side of death and destruction and the rape of children the normalizing of pedophilia
00:14:24.240
the the the lies that they've been shoveling the fact that Palestine is justified in raping children
00:14:34.740
or you're on the side of helping and we pray every day to be on God's side
00:14:49.360
the second principle you have to take away today is we've got to do more
00:14:54.880
you know what side you're on now how can you help
00:14:58.840
you're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program
00:15:01.720
so I want to give you some some hope you know I've
00:15:04.780
I said today that you have to decide which side you're on and
00:15:10.180
the the choice has never been more clear it's just it's not going to get any clearer than this
00:15:15.360
you know are you for uh drag queens in our schools
00:15:34.940
justice that usurps the real justice that only our savior can provide
00:15:44.680
rape and murder of women and children and dragging them in the streets because
00:15:56.280
but that would have made us as bad as the Germans
00:16:06.940
posted on their website and then put out on on X
00:16:11.780
the the paragliders coming in and saying we support Hamas
00:17:03.980
and the choice has never been clearer than it is right now
00:20:15.640
some things we're not going to talk about on air
