1. Christian Persecution in Nigeria

Senator Cruz highlights what he describes as a massive and underreported crisis involving the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Key points include:

  • Over 50,000 Christians killed since 2009.
  • 18,000 churches and 2,000 schools burned, allegedly by extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS in West Africa.
  • Accusations that some Nigerian government officials are complicit or negligent in addressing the violence.
  • Cruz has introduced legislation to designate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and impose sanctions on individual officials involved in or ignoring the persecution.
  • He criticizes the mainstream media for failing to cover the issue adequately.
  • Public figures like Bill Maher and Van Jones are cited as supporting the claim that this is a planned genocide and that media silence is a moral failure.

2. Christian Persecution in China

This section shifts to a similar story:

  • The Chinese Communist Party’s crackdown on Christianity, particularly targeting Pastor Jin Mingri and the Zion Church.
  • Cruz introduced a bipartisan resolution with Senator Chris Coons condemning China’s actions and urging the release of imprisoned pastors.
  • He emphasizes the need for economic and diplomatic pressure, especially with President Trump’s upcoming meeting with President Xi Jinping.
  • The resolution calls for respect for religious freedom and highlights China’s long-standing designation as a “Country of Particular Concern” by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.

3. DOJ Surveillance of Republican Senators

Cruz discusses revelations that:

  • The Biden DOJ and Special Counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed phone records of nine Republican senators and one House member in connection with the January 6 investigation.
  • Cruz’s phone records were requested from AT&T, but the company refused to comply, citing constitutional protections under the Speech and Debate Clause.
  • He frames this as political persecution and a dangerous abuse of power, likening it to Watergate.
  • He calls for Congressional hearings and transparency to prevent future surveillance of elected officials.
