- They a reliable partner? i've got point out they haven't
- 00:05:59.373 --> 00:06:02.543
- I've got point out they haven't had a christian president 2015.
- 00:06:02.677 --> 00:06:05.279
- Had a christian president 2015. >> the current president's a
- 00:06:05.413 --> 00:06:05.980
- >> the current president's a muslim.
- 00:06:06.113 --> 00:06:06.314
- Muslim. so is there some ideological i
- 00:06:06.447 --> 00:06:12.320
- So is there some ideological i guess joining or favoritism to
- 00:06:12.453 --> 00:06:15.590
- Guess joining or favoritism to haram the these groups that are
- 00:06:15.723 --> 00:06:16.357
- Haram the these groups that are doing the kidnaping and kill
- 00:06:16.491 --> 00:06:19.994
- Doing the kidnaping and kill it?
- 00:06:20.127 --> 00:06:20.261
- It? >> well, there's a lot of lip
- 00:06:20.394 --> 00:06:20.995
- >> well, there's a lot of lip service and there they have
- 00:06:21.128 --> 00:06:23.664
- Service and there they have within the united nations that
- 00:06:23.798 --> 00:06:24.398
- Within the united nations that says the government is doing
- 00:06:24.532 --> 00:06:25.099
- Says the government is doing all they can.
- 00:06:25.233 --> 00:06:27.368
- All they can. but let me give you
- 00:06:27.502 --> 00:06:28.035
- But let me give you one example.
- 00:06:28.169 --> 00:06:28.436
- One example. christians they're the these
- 00:06:28.569 --> 00:06:31.272
- Christians they're the these farmers in the southern regions
- 00:06:31.405 --> 00:06:32.039
- Farmers in the southern regions are being attacked by the
- 00:06:32.173 --> 00:06:32.707
- Are being attacked by the fulani herdsmen who have been
- 00:06:32.840 --> 00:06:36.043
- Fulani herdsmen who have been radicalized and weaponized.
- 00:06:36.177 --> 00:06:36.711
- Radicalized and weaponized. so christians in the southern
- 00:06:36.844 --> 00:06:40.081
- So christians in the southern part the only thing that
- 00:06:40.214 --> 00:06:40.715
- Part the only thing that they're allowed to have to
- 00:06:40.848 --> 00:06:41.415
- They're allowed to have to defend themselves a single shot
- 00:06:41.549 --> 00:06:44.085
- Defend themselves a single shot cut of an old bush gun against
- 00:06:44.218 --> 00:06:44.952
- Cut of an old bush gun against these trucks ak 47 that are
- 00:06:45.086 --> 00:06:47.588
- These trucks ak 47 that are brought in by these islamist
- 00:06:47.722 --> 00:06:48.322
- Brought in by these islamist terrorists there's no match.
- 00:06:48.456 --> 00:06:51.125
- Terrorists there's no match. there's no really ability and
- 00:06:51.259 --> 00:06:51.859
- There's no really ability and and what president and
- 00:06:51.993 --> 00:06:54.795
- And what president and secretary rubio and the state
- 00:06:54.929 --> 00:06:55.496
- Secretary rubio and the state department is saying you've got
- 00:06:55.630 --> 00:06:56.264
- Department is saying you've got to do in protecting these
- 00:06:56.397 --> 00:06:58.499
- To do in protecting these christians because right now it
- 00:06:58.633 --> 00:06:59.233
- Christians because right now it is not just recently but every
- 00:06:59.367 --> 00:07:02.136
- Is not just recently but every year somewhere even
- 00:07:02.270 --> 00:07:04.972
- Year somewhere even conservative estimates gordan
- 00:07:05.106 --> 00:07:05.673
- Conservative estimates gordan we're looking 4000 to 8000
- 00:07:05.806 --> 00:07:08.643
- We're looking 4000 to 8000 christians that had been killed
- 00:07:08.776 --> 00:07:09.410
- Christians that had been killed annually going back ten, 12, 13
- 00:07:09.544 --> 00:07:12.046
- Annually going back ten, 12, 13 years.
- 00:07:12.179 --> 00:07:12.346
- Years. >> well you would think that
- 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.047
- >> well you would think that the nigerian government could
- 00:07:13.180 --> 00:07:15.783
- The nigerian government could do a whole lot more and a whole
- 00:07:15.917 --> 00:07:16.817
- Do a whole lot more and a whole lot more with a standing army
- 00:07:16.951 --> 00:07:19.754
- Lot more with a standing army against these rebel groups.
- 00:07:19.887 --> 00:07:23.691
- Against these rebel groups. you know, i assume they have
- 00:07:23.824 --> 00:07:24.458
- You know, i assume they have drone technology.
- 00:07:24.592 --> 00:07:24.959
- Drone technology. i assume they have cell phone
- 00:07:25.092 --> 00:07:27.228
- I assume they have cell phone monitoring technology.
- 00:07:27.361 --> 00:07:27.795
- Monitoring technology. >> you would you would think
- 00:07:27.929 --> 00:07:31.632
- >> you would you would think they would be able to protect
- 00:07:31.766 --> 00:07:32.366
- They would be able to protect their own citizens?
- 00:07:32.500 --> 00:07:32.900
- Their own citizens? >> is there some kind of
- 00:07:33.034 --> 00:07:35.269
- >> is there some kind of coordinated agreement that it's
- 00:07:35.403 --> 00:07:38.839
- Coordinated agreement that it's okay to kidnap?
- 00:07:38.973 --> 00:07:39.307
- Okay to kidnap? >> it's okay to kill?
- 00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:39.907
- >> it's okay to kill? i there's a combination of
- 00:07:40.041 --> 00:07:43.144
- I there's a combination of things.
- 00:07:43.277 --> 00:07:43.477
- Things. whether there's an intimidation
- 00:07:43.611 --> 00:07:44.245
- Whether there's an intimidation by the islamist groups or
- 00:07:44.378 --> 00:07:46.881
- By the islamist groups or whether there's part of the
- 00:07:47.014 --> 00:07:47.582
- Whether there's part of the government that simply turns a
- 00:07:47.715 --> 00:07:50.184
- Government that simply turns a blind eye or turns the other
- 00:07:50.318 --> 00:07:50.885
- Blind eye or turns the other way and i think this is why
- 00:07:51.018 --> 00:07:51.819
- Way and i think this is why president trump's bold move two
- 00:07:51.953 --> 00:07:54.655
- President trump's bold move two and a half weeks ago to say
- 00:07:54.789 --> 00:07:55.423
- And a half weeks ago to say look, we're you on the cpc list
- 00:07:55.556 --> 00:07:58.693
- Look, we're you on the cpc list is hopefully the motivation for
- 00:07:58.826 --> 00:08:01.996
- Is hopefully the motivation for the nigerian government.
- 00:08:02.129 --> 00:08:02.630
- The nigerian government. even in your own report the
- 00:08:02.763 --> 00:08:05.266
- Even in your own report the reporter talked about nigeria
- 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:05.967
- Reporter talked about nigeria and billion dollars of aid from
- 00:08:06.100 --> 00:08:08.636
- And billion dollars of aid from the u.s. historically all
- 00:08:08.769 --> 00:08:12.306
- The u.s. historically all that's now in jeopardy unless
- 00:08:12.440 --> 00:08:13.040
- That's now in jeopardy unless the nigerian government shows
- 00:08:13.174 --> 00:08:15.710
- The nigerian government shows good faith and not just
- 00:08:15.843 --> 00:08:16.344
- Good faith and not just awareness but action steps that
- 00:08:16.477 --> 00:08:19.614
- Awareness but action steps that that would protect the
- 00:08:19.747 --> 00:08:20.181
- That would protect the christian people there their
- 00:08:20.314 --> 00:08:20.881
- Christian people there their own natives, their countrymen

- There in the country of nigeria.
- 00:08:24.485 --> 00:08:24.685
- Nigeria. >> well, let's zoom and start
- 00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:27.455
- >> well, let's zoom and start looking at the entire world
- 00:08:27.588 --> 00:08:28.155
- Looking at the entire world when you when you become an
- 00:08:28.289 --> 00:08:31.258
- When you when you become an ambassador, what other
- 00:08:31.392 --> 00:08:31.859
- Ambassador, what other countries are you going to
- 00:08:31.993 --> 00:08:32.526
- Countries are you going to prioritize.
- 00:08:32.660 --> 00:08:35.262
- Prioritize. >> well, there's a couple of
- 00:08:35.396 --> 00:08:36.030
- >> well, there's a couple of different things here.
- 00:08:36.163 --> 00:08:36.631
- Different things here. you have one where you have
- 00:08:36.764 --> 00:08:38.399
- You have one where you have islamists coming in that are
- 00:08:38.532 --> 00:08:39.133
- Islamists coming in that are just laying waste to people.
- 00:08:39.266 --> 00:08:39.834

- . the other thing gordon that
- 00:08:41.969 --> 00:08:42.536
- The other thing gordon that we're concerned about is the
- 00:08:42.670 --> 00:08:43.237
- We're concerned about is the rising blasphemy laws.
- 00:08:43.371 --> 00:08:45.272

- Believers are being detained and even put in prison.
