Trump: Iranian People Need Guns, ‘I Think They’re Getting Some’ and Will ‘Fight as Good as Anybody’ When They Do
On Monday’s “Hugh Hewitt Show,” President Donald Trump said he’s “torn” about the Iranian people taking to the streets now, “because they lost 42,000 people in the first two weeks. I don’t really want to see that. They have to have guns. And I think they’re getting some guns. As soon as they have guns, they’ll fight as good as anybody there is.”
Host Hugh Hewitt asked, “Now, last time you were on, you said to the people of Iran, stay the course, help is on the way. But they murdered 40,000 of them. Do you want the people of Iran to come out yet, do you want them to stay inside?”
Trump answered, “Well, look, the problem is that you can’t — if you have five people with a gun and 250,000, the five people with a gun, assuming it’s used fast enough, which they do, the five people, they’re going to win. They have to — they don’t have weapons. They lost 42,000, to be exact, 42,000 people in about a two-week [period], protesters, innocent, unarmed protesters. They killed the wrestler, he’s actually a world-class wrestler. They killed him and his two friends. They hung him from a crane in the square. And so, we’re not dealing with your typical people.”
Later, [relevant remarks begin around 14:10] Trump added that “you can’t have an unarmed population against people with AK-47s and stand there, even if you have 250,000 people. So, you started it off by asking me would I like to see them? And I’m very torn on it, because they lost 42,000 people in the first two weeks. I don’t really want to see that. They have to have guns. And I think they’re getting some guns. As soon as they have guns, they’ll fight as good as anybody there is. But when you have people that are armed, and they have very good weapons on the other side, now, they’ve been depleted, a lot of the people fighting don’t want to fight anymore. They’re not getting paid anymore, from what I’m hearing, because we have obliterated them, like, in the military, we’ve done the same thing to them financially, economically. We don’t think they’re paying their soldiers and their guard anymore. So, they’ve got a lot of problems, but we’ll see what happens. We have all the cards.”

Nick Shirley Went to Cuba. He Almost Didn’t Make It Home.
Donald Trump and Marco Rubio often accuse the Cuban regime of rolling out the red carpet for our adversaries. They’re not wrong. It actively welcomes those working against United States interests, and I’m not just talking about China, Russian, and Iran.
If you’ll remember, in March, a group of far-leftist folks from the U.S. and Europe — including members of Code Pink, commie activist Hasan Piker, and Ilhan Omar’s daughter — flew into the crumblingly communist country and stayed in five-star hotels, enjoyed fancy meals, held concerts, and recorded podcasts, all while the Cuban people starve and live without electricity or water much of the time. They took photos with “president” Miguel Díaz-Canel and came back declaring that all was well on the island.
This crew spent some of their time riding around the city and viewing the Cubans as if they were on some sort of poverty safari, and Piker said the people just had an “island mindset” and that’s why they just hung around in the streets all day. They came back reporting that things were just groovy down there and would be even better if Trump and Rubio would stop bullying them.
Well, independent journalist Nick Shirley recently visited Cuba and attempted to do the same thing… but he wanted to tell the real story of what’s happening after decades of failed and corrupt communist rule. As you can imagine, he didn’t get quite the welcome the others did. Not only that, but according to him, his equipment was seized, “spies” followed him around, and he barely escaped without being “kidnapped.”

Exclusive from Nigeria: Christian Family Burned Alive
Driving from Nigeria’s capital city of Abuja toward Jos, one enters the kill zone where thousands of Christians have been slaughtered or abducted already this year. Along the way, we stopped in Miango Community, which is now supporting hundreds of widows and orphans whose families were killed when their villages were attacked by Fulani Muslim extremists.
Gastron, a community leader, explained that over the past nine years, the Fulani have been attacking the Christian community on a regular basis. To date, he said that 1,237 Christians have been killed, while 538 women have lost their husbands.
“But some of them have died after their husbands were killed. Some have remarried. So we have over 400 widows.” Many of the women were injured in the same attacks that killed their husbands, while most lost other members of their families
