Secret America LIVE - Episode 75 - Interview w/ Eric Burlison - The Truth is out [35:46-40:48]

You could probably get their attention through a number of means. You could, you could provide a way out for people that want to get, get out to get out of that country. There's some countries that I think sometimes you just have to, you have to realize there is no, there's no redeeming it until it's higher priority, though. They're slaughtering Christians everywhere. I think it's appalling and I had, I've had a lot of Christians in my district, reach out, asking me to do something. And when we looked into it, it was that what the president needed to do was to categorize Nigeria as a particular statics, like change their status to a country of concern. And Trump did do that. So that was, that was, that was good to see. And that does come with it that Nigeria as far as the United States is concerned does not have experienced the same economic trade that the other countries do. So that's the first step. And then we'll see where it goes from there. But I use the country like Haiti, for example. I mean, it's some like, we have, I constituents that were missionaries in Haiti. And in that place has just become a hellscape for anybody. And we sadly, they were martyred in Haiti, you know. And so it's just, I mean, that you talked about one of a gut, a gut-wrenching weekend was getting phone calls from their parents trying to, you know, telling me that they, that they're under attack at their, at their missionary, at their mission, at the mission that they were located in, that they were, then, then the attacks escalated. And then, I mean, and here I am getting on the phone, trying to, we're trying to do everything we can to get, to get help there. But it's just, they were killed. Yeah, and they were killed in a brutal way. I mean, in such a way that it almost, it makes you realize there's true evil, evil in this world. And that's kind of the takeaway that I had I said, we, we're very blessed living in the United States. But, but I think that we kind of become a little bit, you know, in this Goldilocks, you know, environment. And we, we ignore the fact that, that this is unique, and that world history, and that the, and most countries do not operate this way. And that you've got tyranny in, in almost every shape of form and most, throughout all of history, in every, every country. And people that are, that, that have hate in their hearts and violence and, and all of the things that, that we're seeing all of the evil around the world. It's just sadly it's a part of human nature. And to deny that, I think is just sticking your head in the sand. It's how do we keep people, how do we keep people safe from each, from harming each other. And I think that this system that our founding fathers gave us is the best system that we've seen in history for, for creating peace and, and prosperity for everyone here. And sadly we've learned that we can't be the world's policeman. I mean, it's horrific what's happening. I, one of my really close friends is Nigerian. And he's a Christian. He's a doctor here in America, but we used to work together. And I mean, he's told me for two decades how corrupt that country is. There's really not that we just can't fix everybody. I wish we could. But I want to ask you, because you brought up some, you brought up Elon Musk and Doge. Americans, particularly your constituents, Eric and people like Jack, we loved what Doge did. I mean, it was amazing. Now, I know you're on a couple of committees about financial government responsibility and reform. What happened to Doge? Is it still going on? Where are we at with all of that? Yeah. So I'm actually on the Doge committee in oversight. So it's being chaired by Marjorie Taylor Green. And she does a fantastic job as the chairwoman of that committee. You definitely see her in action. She's a, she's a businesswoman. And you know, people that have real business experience, especially as a small business owner, they operate a whole another level than most politicians do. Yeah. And that's Marjorie. She's just, she's a hard worker.
