WEBVTT - Islamic Terrorists Murder on Easter Sunday 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:17.079 You are entering the freedom hunt. Islamic terrorists murdered hundreds 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.759 with attacks on Easter Sunday. We will give you the 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:25.560 latest updates about this atrocity and what could be coming next. Also, 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.880 the left has not yet decided that they're going to 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:33.600 move past trying to use the Mulla Report against President Trump, 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:36.360 even maybe for impeachment. Will break that down and much 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.600 more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show. This is 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.879 the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:48.720 to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Mag no 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:52.480 mistake American. Ready, you're a great American Again, The Buck 0:00:52.520 --> 0:01:01.440 Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. Now. What was 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.600 supposed to be a joyful Easter Sunday was marred by 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:11.960 a horrific wave of Islamic radical terror bloodshed. Heartbreaking that 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.400 the country, which it strives hard for peace in recent years, 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:18.800 has been targeted by these terrorists. We warned the loved 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.760 ones of the victims, some of whom we can confirm 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:25.480 were indeed US citizens. This is America's fight too. Today, 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.959 our nation grieves with the people of Sri Lanka and 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:34.240 we stand committed, resolved to confront terrorism together welcome to 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.720 the buck section. Show everybody, I trust and hope that 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:43.280 you had a joyous Easter weekend with your family and 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:51.040 joyous Passover feast. But the weekend was marred by what 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:58.320 happened yesterday where you had multiple attacks in Sri Lanka, 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:04.440 a large island off the southern tip of India, multiple 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:09.120 tacks that killed so far two hundred and ninety people, 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:17.440 injured at least five hundred more people, and specifically went 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:22.600 after Catholic churches Catholic congregations in Sri Lanka on the 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:27.440 holiest day of the Christian year, the day of Jesus's Resurrection. 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.520 This is an atrocity that is a reminder of some 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:36.800 of the darkest days of the war on Terror. It 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:43.840 is an unfortunate reminder of the fact that Islamic jihadism 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:48.600 is the single greatest destabilizing violent force on the planet today, 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:55.880 continues to be the greatest threat to international stability and 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.840 the primary reason for terrorism around the globe. And it 0:02:59.919 --> 0:03:03.120 is not even close. Despite what you will hear from 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.320 many on the left, the world is not in the 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:11.480 grips of some white nationalist terror surge. Entire countries do 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:17.000 not stand on the brink of collapse. Are not approaching 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:21.840 genocide or not in the midst of sectarian bloodshed flooding 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:26.639 the streets because of white nationalism. Despite what MSNBC and 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.000 CNN and The New York Times and others, what have 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:35.040 you think, Islamic jihadism is still the greatest threat to 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:41.440 peace and stability and decent lives for people around the 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:46.680 world of any ideology that inspires violence. And it's still 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:52.120 not even close. It's still not even close. Here's just 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:57.000 some background in case you're wondering why. Why is Sri 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.160 Lanka a country that has had more than its share 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:06.160 of violence already. Sri Lanka is a mix of different 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:10.520 religious and ethnic backgrounds and has been in the midst 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:15.680 of a civil war for decades. It just ended a 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:19.880 few years ago. The Sinhalis, who are a majority Buddhist, 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:28.320 felt that the Tamils, who are a majority Hindu, were 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:35.880 always unfairly favored by the British colonial lords of Sri Lanka. Remember, 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.960 during the British occupation of India, Sri Lanka was also occupied. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.040 And then when the British left and Sri Lanka became independent, 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.360 you had the sinhalize because they're a majority Buddhist majority, 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:49.920 they were in charge, and there was all of this 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:54.760 sectarian jockeying for power and oppression and all these dynamics 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:58.120 of the anger and resentment of that bread. And then 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:03.279 you also beneath that have a sizable Muslim minority and 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:08.960 a sizable Catholic Christian minority. The Liberation Tigers of tamil 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:14.800 Illam Ltte were a militant group fighting against the Sri 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.640 Lankan government for many, many years. And that's the war 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:22.440 that just ended recently, just a few years ago. And 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:26.400 that's one of the very few cases where you had 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:32.040 non Islamic suicide bombers deployed. Which is why Sri Lanka 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.640 something that I even studied when I was at the 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:38.760 CIA and before that when I was doing my academic 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:43.039 putting in my academic time on terrorism and jihadism. Sri 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.080 Lanka is studied because it's where you had suicide bombers 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:52.040 who were Hindu, suicide bombers who in some cases were Christian, 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:58.440 because they were fighting a war based on more national 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:02.599 identity and linguistic and cultural background than on religious identity. 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.720 That also use suicide bombers who were female in Sri Lanka, 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:10.120 which was a kind of tactical innovation at when it 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.000 was deployed. So there's been a lot of violence in 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:14.960 Sri Lanka for a long time and it's finally quieted 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:19.120 down and now you have this horrific mass casualty event. 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:26.400 This incident clearly obviously on Easter Sunday for maximum psychological 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:31.239 damage and impact, as well as the prevalence of soft targets. 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.919 A lot of people were gathered together in churches, in hotels. 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:40.520 There were churches and luxury hotels attacked in what is 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:45.839 a classic Gee Hottest target set. Now there is a 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:51.080 Gee Hottest entity in Sri Lanka, but it's considered to 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:56.000 be small. It's considered to be not one that people 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.680 know about, including even those who are generally up to 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:04.960 speed on national security issues. This National Taoist Jama is 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.120 the group that has been singled out. And there was 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:12.119 intelligence that was shared among the Sri Lankan government about 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:16.960 ten days ago of suicide bombers targeting churches, so that 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:23.280 somebody clearly knew something and precautions, sufficient precautions. We're not 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:31.000 taken here, we may have already. Now the head of 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.560 the head of this group has been established. People are 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:38.960 talking about how we're going to look for links to 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.800 the Islamic state, which I think is a very likely 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:49.360 scenario here. And you have this dynamic where a jihad 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.000 can pop up anywhere at any time, anywhere where there's 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:55.480 a radicalized Muslim population in the world. All that you 0:07:55.560 --> 0:08:01.440 need is one group of hardline radicals who decide that 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.360 they're going to engage in something like this and hope 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.880 it they'll be reprisal attacks and that the sectarian divide 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.880 will grow larger and there'll be greater distrust within the 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.520 society and you could have the start of a sectarian 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.880 war and that's all that's all you need. And then 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.040 the jihad is put out all this propaganda for how 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:23.360 the Muslims are oppressed and it's everything's terrible is happening 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.960 to them. And they didn't they had you know, they 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:29.120 were completely innocent until this, and people will believe that 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.760 and they'll be all these videos. You'll have Mujahadeen showing up. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.760 It's all it takes. It's all it takes. Whether the 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:42.680 cases in Nigeria or Syria, or Eastern Europe and Bosnia, 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.800 you name it. This narrative of you have to come 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:51.520 aid in a fight, a jihad where your Muslim brothers 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:56.600 and sisters are under siege. It's not a hard story 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.400 to tell if you're willing to engage in a lot 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.319 of bloodshed and violence to get there. And if there 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.839 is in fact an Islamic state tie here, maybe they've 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:08.760 decided to expand out the the Dar al Harbor, which 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:13.520 is the land of war, and include Sri Lanka into 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.760 that fight. Maybe maybe this is a one off that 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:20.400 does not lead to a whole lot more. But this 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.800 is the kind of attack that would require a large 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:28.520 scale planning effort, the sophistication of it. Many of the 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:33.440 bombs went off within very close proximity. The bombs were 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:38.520 obviously devastating in their efficacy. You did not have a 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.920 lot of suicide bombers who's vested in work or who 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:47.280 bailed last minute because they did not want to become shahid, 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.880 they did not want to become martyrs. There have been 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:55.320 some other there have been detonators and other IDs found 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.640 in Sri Lanka that that did not go off. But 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:02.520 obviously this is a devast dating, mass casualty attack. But 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.280 there's one component of this that I wanted to talk 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:06.880 to you a little bit about beyond just giving you 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.600 the basics of the national security situation, which given my 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:15.280 background as a former CIA counter Terrorism Officer CTC, I 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.480 thought that would be worthwhile for this. The media reaction 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:24.960 to this on Easter Sunday was illuminating. It showed us 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.120 a phenomenon that you and I are aware of, but 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.640 that every time it comes up, it's still very much 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.120 rubs me the wrong way, and that is the way 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:39.320 that some of the most powerful Democrats in the country. 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.360 We'll talk about an attack that targets Christians versus attacks 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:47.360 that target non Christians, or rather attacks specifically that target 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:52.080 Muslims of this kind terrorist attacks, versus a situation like 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.760 this where it was very explicitly and clearly meant to 0:10:54.840 --> 0:11:01.040 kill as many Catholics as many Christians as possible. There 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:05.120 is a difference, a difference in the word choice, a 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:09.240 difference in the degree of outrage, a difference in the 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:13.000 focus that the media has on it. I want to 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.079 break some of that down for you coming up. We 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.840 also have some new information in the ongoing what Next 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.080 post Muller report, so we'll have some of that for you. 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.280 A very high level player has already been subpoenaed by 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.480 the House. So now after two years of the Muller probe, 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.319 it looks like we're going to head into two years 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:36.160 of redo of the Muller probe by the Democrats in Congress. 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.560 I hope that the Republicans in the Congress are prepared 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:45.360 for the fist fight that lays ahead. We have a 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.560 lot of show my friends, a lot to get to today, 0:11:47.640 --> 0:12:04.400 so stay tuned, they'll be right back. So the way 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:08.560 that the Democrats, some of the biggest Democrats out there, 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:14.120 referred to these horrific terrorist attacks that I have all 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:19.319 the hallmarks of Jehadas strike, and clearly we're targeting Catholics 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.959 on Easter, as well as some international hotels and places 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:26.079 where there would be Westerners and Christians. But the attack 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:28.560 at the churches, which was the primary attacks and killed 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:34.280 the most people, those are specifically to kill Catholics, they 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.800 kill Christians. And you had tweets from people like Barack 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:43.520 Obama that's at the following quote. The attacks on tourists 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.640 and Easter worshippers in Sri Lanka are an attack on humanity, 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.520 on a data voted to love, redemption and renewal. We 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.080 pray for the victims who stand with the people of 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:53.560 Sri Lanka. I mean, look, the end, the end part 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.280 of that is boiler played. And I don't think that 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.680 Barack Obama is bereft of sympathy for the people that 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.240 you know. I'm not taking that opinion or that position, 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.400 but I do think it's a strange thing for him 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:10.040 to say the attacks on tourists and Easter worshippers and 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.600 the attacks on Catholic churches, Former President Obama, that's what 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.840 this was. This was an attack on Christian churches in 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:21.920 Sri Lanka by jihadas psychopaths who we can all say 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.000 they don't represent the true Islama or whatever, but they 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.920 are Muslims and they attack these churches. I'm sure it's 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.720 just a matter of time before we hear that the 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:34.959 real threat in Sri Lanka is Islamophobia. Someone will say it, 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.520 you watch, give it a few days, someone will say, 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.360 the real problem is the Islamophobia that's going to happen. 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.680 But Easter worshipper is a strange thing for Obama to 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:48.440 say or right, because no, they're Jesus worshippers. They're not 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:55.240 Easter worshippers. Very strange, and Barack Obama's not somebody who 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.880 does things like put out a tweet after a terrorist 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:03.240 act like this without thinking it through. Hillary Clinton, on 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.080 this holy weekend for many faiths, we must stand united 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:10.800 against hatred and violence. I'm praying for everyone affected by 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.720 today's horrific attacks on Easter worshippers and travelers in Sri Lanka. 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.120 What is this with the Easter worshippers? Why is Hillary 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.440 Clinton also going with the East? How about Christians? Why 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.160 can't we hear why can't we hear Christians? Is that 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:27.440 is that triggering? Is that upsetting to people? I think 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.360 we owe that to the victims to at least refer 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.120 to them. They were targeted, they were martyred for their faith. 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:36.000 They were killed in a church celebrating the resurrection of Christ. 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:40.680 Can we refer to them as Christians? Or no again, 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.480 Hilary Clinton, this Easter worshippers. Have you ever have you 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.320 ever referred to somebody that way? I mean, I was 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:50.000 at church yesterday. Was I in Easter? I was worshiping 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:55.400 on Easter? But I don't worship Easter. It's very strange. 0:14:56.440 --> 0:15:00.440 It's almost like there's a messaging effort here. Nancy see 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.120 today's heartbreaking attacks and Sri Lanka come as the country 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:06.000 has worked hard to build a common future after years 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.400 of war. Our thoughts are with the injured and the 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.720 families of those killed in today's Easter Sunday attacks. No 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:21.680 mention of Christian Catholic Church, nothing, nothing. Is that an 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:25.240 accident too? Are we? Are we supposed to believe it? 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:28.680 That's here's how Hillary Clinton. If you want to compare 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:33.200 how she responded on her official Twitter account after the 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.880 attack on the mosque in New Zealand. Quote, my heart 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:41.080 breaks for New Zealand and the global Muslim community. We 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:46.240 must fight against the perpetuation and normalization of Islamophobia and 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:50.400 racism in all forms. White supremacist terrorists must be condemned 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:55.920 by leaders everywhere. Their murderous hatred must be stopped. Very 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.520 specific in who was targeted. You know, who are who 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.280 are the victor here? And who are the bad guys? 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:06.760 Hillary will name them when it's a white supremacist psychopath 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:11.800 in New Zealand killing Muslims. And fine, right, that's that's 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:15.640 all true, And she's she's right about you know, white 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.160 supremacist terrorists. Dirt eggs must be fought and destroyed and 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.600 in every way at all times. But I just want 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:26.440 to know why that same standard doesn't apply when it's 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:30.760 chieh hottest psychopaths who are blowing up churches on Easter 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:32.640 full of men, women and children. Mean, there were little 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.160 babies in these churches, There were old people in these churches. 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.080 There were men and women you know who we're looking 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.240 forward to spending the rest of the day with their family, 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:44.240 with their loved ones. Their lives are taken away, lives 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:47.160 are ruined when you're talking about an attack like this. 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.800 The hundreds that are wounded, a lot of them aren't 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:51.720 wounded like they are going to be out of the 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:53.680 hospital a couple of days. They're wounded like they're missing 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:58.120 an arm. They might be blind, they might have been 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.800 burned over or you know, thirty or forty percent of 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.399 their body with second or third or third degree burns, 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:09.399 horrific wounds, life altering wounds. And that's on top of 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:13.800 the almost three hundred dead. I can't help but read 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:19.879 through the Democrat politician response to a mass murder of 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:25.000 Christians by jihadists in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday and 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.680 not feel like there's a little bit of a sterility 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.720 to it. It's you know, yes, this is sad. Violence 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:35.320 is bad. Violence bad. Okay, thanks Hiller, we know violence bad. 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.679 But why is it that the New Zealand attack it 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.479 was we must stand and fight against the evildoers of 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.640 white supremacy and stand with our Muslim brothers and sisters 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:50.479 always in solidarity. I'm cool with that. I'm with that. 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.480 I just want to know why that also doesn't apply 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.359 to the other side too. You know what, where where's 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.240 the sense of outrage on behalf of where's this sense 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:04.080 of solidarity, shoulder to shoulder, shields high with our fellow 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:08.119 Christians all over the world. Why is it that the 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:15.639 Democrats have such ease condemning the one and such difficulty 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:21.320 naming and shaming jihadism? You know, they probably want to 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:24.720 refer to it as a you know, a radical non 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:28.280 Islamic faith tradition that sounds Islamic and has Muslims that 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:30.399 are in it, but they don't really count for some reason. 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:34.200 They say, what doesn't make It's all babbel, isn't it. 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:36.440 And there's a reason for this. I've got a little 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:38.280 more on this, actually, and then we'll switch up topics 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:39.760 to go to the latest and the Muller probe. So 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:54.400 stick around team, He's holding the line for America. Buck 0:18:54.480 --> 0:19:03.439 Sexton his back. Here's a taste of the reaction you 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:07.399 get from democrats from the left in this country after 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:14.359 a mass casualty attack, after a mass assassination of Christians 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:18.280 at prayer on Easter Sunday, gathered together in churches in 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.959 Sri Lanka, the Washington Post puts this out not as 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.680 an op ed, but as an as news analysis. So 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:35.399 with the imprimater impremature of the Washington Post newsroom, and 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:41.879 what they have here is Sri Lanka church bombings stoke 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:49.600 far right anger in the West. Oh, isn't this fascinating? So? 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:56.119 You mean almost three hundred Catholic Christians murdered on the 0:19:56.119 --> 0:20:00.360 holiest day of the year for them, And the Post 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.000 wants people to know that the real problem here, you see, 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.240 is that far right anger in the West now has 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:10.320 been stirred up by this. Shouldn't everyone be angry about this? 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:16.080 Shouldn't everyone view this as an outrage against humanity as 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:26.080 as the most grotesque persecution imaginable of Christians. Two five 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:30.919 hundred injured. This is what the Washington Post writes, quote 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:33.720 to some, it was further proof that Christians and many 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:37.600 parts of the world are under attack. Several churches were 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:41.080 targeted in Sunday's bombings, along with hotels and a banquet hall. 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.119 At one Catholic church in Nigambo, more than one hundred 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:49.400 people were killed. The attack took place on Easter, one 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:53.719 of the most important dates on the Christian calendar. Can 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:59.440 I just repeat how that paragraph started? To some, it 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:02.399 was proved that Christians in many parts the world are 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:06.880 under attack. Is there anyone who is not a complete 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:10.879 and utter moron who thinks that this is not proof 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:13.640 that Christians in parts the world they're under attack? Is there? 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:16.920 You know? One of the dumbest political analysts, actually not 0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:19.320 even at a cable news network, but at a one 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:24.080 of the other three letter you know, big old school 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:27.920 news networks and I had a testy exchange once on Twitter. 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:30.679 He actually ended up blocking me because he thought it 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:33.760 was laughable when people brought up that Christians in the 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:35.800 Middle East are persecuted. He thought that was just that 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:37.720 was foolish, and that the real threat is in the 0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:39.800 Middle East is always to Muslims. I said, well, you're 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.000 you sir, and I won't name him because he's not 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:44.359 worth being named. Are a moron, and he is. He 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:47.480 runs political coverage or a political coverage. He's the chief 0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:50.280 political analyst at ABC News. A very stupid and nasty 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:53.240 person and doesn't know what the heck he's talking about. 0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:55.240 And he got schooled, so he blocked me, as one 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:58.000 tends to when they come up against me on some 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:02.920 of these issues. And that's a pretty common elite position 0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:06.840 though that there's no real threat to Christians around the world. 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:11.280 The only real persecution, possible religious persecution, according to the left, 0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:17.320 involves Islam. Right. That is, the Islamic faith is the 0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:19.560 one that we have to be always protecting. It's the 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:21.600 second largest faith tradition in the world. Meanwhile, it's not 0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:23.399 really much of a minority faith. It's going to be 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:26.960 larger than Christianity very soon. But we have to always 0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:29.000 be worried about being too harsh or too mean or 0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:33.960 two Islamophobic or whatever the case may be. And Christians 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.920 can't really be under siege because look at how wealthy 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:40.720 and dominant the West is, which is the seat of 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:44.679 Christian civilization. But as we all know, Christianity in the 0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:49.640 West is in decline, We are increasing living in secular societies, 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:55.320 and Christianity outside the West is in many places under 0:22:55.400 --> 0:23:02.280 constant assault. Christians in Pakistan, Christians in Iraq, Christians in Syria, 0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:08.360 Christians in Nigeria, Christians and go down the list murdered 0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:13.040 for their faith on a fairly regular basis and grotesque 0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:19.960 and graphic fashion. They've had child suicide bombers, Islamic suicide 0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:23.720 bombers in Nigeria deployed and oftentimes young girls to walk 0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.520 into crowded Christian churches in Nigeria. How often do you 0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:29.880 see that covered in the news media here? And how 0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:32.159 often do you see the people that are at the 0:23:32.200 --> 0:23:34.560 top of the media and political pyramid on the left 0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:41.680 make a lot of noise about Christian persecution. Why is 0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:43.560 it that when I bring up Christian persecution in the 0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:45.240 Middle East, a lot of people that seem to think 0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:47.199 they know about the Middle East say, well, that's not 0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:53.480 really a problem. Yes it is. There are many people 0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:55.840 that talk about these issues that I think either don't 0:23:55.880 --> 0:24:00.280 know or just quickly forget that Christianity started out as 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:05.080 a religion of the Near East, that the oldest Christian 0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:11.359 faith traditions, that exist. The oldest churches, the oldest gatherings 0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:15.760 of Christians were in places like Syria and Iraq and 0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:20.600 Turkey and North Africa. But our media elites the same 0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:25.640 ones that know nothing about guns or God. It's amazing 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:27.600 when they try to write about these things. They don't 0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:30.960 have any of that background, it seems. And if anything, 0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:33.200 there's a kind of sneering contempt for people who say 0:24:33.240 --> 0:24:37.760 that Christianity is under assault, because it is. It's culturally 0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:41.399 under assault in this country, but it is physically and 0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:44.639 from a security, from a life and limb standpoint, under assault. 0:24:44.640 --> 0:24:48.040 And much of the rest of the world. Christians are 0:24:48.080 --> 0:24:50.480 not treated well in China. Christians are obviously not allowed 0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:52.200 in North Korea. I mean, you go down the list 0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:57.280 a lot of countries. And the Washington Post, though, wants 0:24:57.280 --> 0:25:00.280 you to know that there are some people in in 0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:03.400 the West, on the far right, who are angry about 0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:06.040 what happened in Sri Lanka. So that's what we really 0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:08.520 have to worry about. You know, maybe the Post should 0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:12.520 be more concerned about a possible Isis franchise getting its 0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:16.480 start in Sri Lanka and turning that country into a 0:25:16.760 --> 0:25:19.800 hell hole for the next twenty years, because it will 0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:21.960 draw recruits from all over the world, who will think 0:25:21.960 --> 0:25:24.720 that they are fighting for the embattled Muslim minority there, 0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:26.520 just as they do in other countries and in other 0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:30.400 jihads all over the place. I think there are bigger concerns. 0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:33.679 What about just the rise of isis once again as 0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:37.560 an ideology doesn't have to be in Syria. All it 0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:41.720 takes is one country to lose control over a piece 0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:45.720 of its territory and something akin to the Islamic state 0:25:45.760 --> 0:25:50.160 in Syria popping up again. And if it seizes enough 0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:52.800 territory draws enough recruits, we could have quite a problem 0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:54.919 on our hands. The world could have quite a problem 0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:59.480 on its hands. But you see the real problem is Islamophobia. 0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:04.360 The real problem are the right wing extremists who will 0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:09.680 react badly to this jeehottest mass murder of Christians on Easter. 0:26:12.760 --> 0:26:15.000 This is how the left sees the world. I wish 0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:16.679 I could tell you that it was going to change. 0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:19.840 I wish I could claim that they would be more 0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:23.600 rational and more reasonable going forward, more even handed and 0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:27.480 how they approach all this. But ultimately, the left thinks 0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:32.160 of Islam as a non white religion of minorities, predominantly 0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:36.440 non white religion of minorities that must be elevated and protected. 0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:41.800 It is a bulwark against traditional Christianity and the American 0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:45.399 right in this country. They view it as a counterweight, 0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:52.320 to counterbalance to believing conservative Christians, and they think of 0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:55.320 it as a minority religion that therefore falls into the 0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:59.840 same kind of left wing intersectional identity politics of this country. Meanwhile, 0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:02.600 Islam is the majority of religion in dozens of countries. 0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:06.199 It is the oppressor and not the oppress e in 0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:10.600 many more countries. Then the Democrats like Hillary Clinton seem 0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:16.960 to understand or care to understand. But it's never possible 0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:19.359 for Christianity to be really under assault because look at 0:27:19.400 --> 0:27:24.400 how successful it has been in the West for many people. 0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:26.800 What happened and Notre Dame wasn't just the destruction of 0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:31.359 a blessed symbol and an incredible architectural feed It was 0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:34.320 also a metaphor. I mean, I believe that it wasn't 0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:36.639
