The Road to World War 3: Netanyahu's appeal to the U.S. parallels a near-genocide of the Jewish people

March 03, 2015

Writer

History always repeats itself, and Glenn believes that the world now stands on the precipice of World War 3. But the patterns playing out today don't just tie back to the 1930s and 40s, but in fact go much, much deeper. For anyone with an understanding of Biblical history, the story of Esther and Mordecai is repeating itself on the world stage as Netanyahu appeals to the United States to stop negotiating with Iran.

In the Bible, a Jewish woman named Esther marries the gentle king of Persia. The king's Prime Minister, Haman, develops a plan to kill all of the Jews in Persia, including Esther's cousin Mordecai. Thankfully, Mordecai uncovers the plot and convinces Esther to appeal to the king on behalf of her people to stop the genocidal plans. She succeeds and the Jews are allowed to defend themselves from the Persians who try to kill them. This story is chronicled in the Book of Esther and celebrated during Purim.

"Mordecai went and spoke to Esther, and said to Esther, 'The king is about to kill all of the Jews. You have a position. You can talk him out of this. You can stop this'," Glenn said. "Haman is a bad guy, and he has the ear of the king. And because the king is listening to Haman, he is going to kill all the Jews."

Glenn sees the same story playing out today. Persia/Haman is now modern-day Iran, looking to wipe out the Jews. The king is President Obama and/or Congress, faced with a choice between Esther and Haman. Benjamin Netanyahu is Mordecai warning of the coming destruction of the Jews. And the American people are Esther, the only one listening to the warnings of Mordecai, and the one with the power to stop the genocide to come.

"If history repeats itself, this week, who is Mordecai? I believe Mordecai is Benjamin Netanyahu. I believe Haman is Iran. Persia. I don't know if the king is Barack Obama or the Congress. But I believe the American people are Esther. And it is why President Obama is trying so desperately to get people to not listen to this speech. He has asked the Democrats to walk out, 34 Democrats have walked out of this speech," Glenn said.

"Will the United States accept the fact that we were born for a time such as this?" he asked.

Glenn also showed how the patterns of World War 2 are playing out again. He explained what he means when he said we are approaching World War 3 and the dangers of a Russia/Iran alliance. Scroll past the video for a rush transcript of the full segment.

When I say World War III. What was World War II really all about? It was the national socialists that wanted to control the world, but they wanted to start with nation states. And then the communists that wanted the workers of the world to unite. Both were communist, if you will, both were socialist. Okay? But one was, let's dominate the entire world under the workers. The other was, no, Germany, a nation state will take over the world and we'll do it state I by state. So national socialists over global communists. What happened? Those two go to war with each other. That was the first thing.

Germany hated the communists examine and the communists hated the national socialists. And so that was the real strife at the beginning. At first they came for the communists. That's how that poem started. At first they came for the communists. And I didn't say anything because I wasn't a communist. It ends with, then they came for the Jews. Then there was nobody left to stand up. So they first started going against each other. We picked sides. We said the Nazis were bad.

First, we refused to even say the Nazis were bad. Many people in our own country and in western Europe said the Nazis are okay. Many of the hierarchy up in England said the Nazis were okay because they really truly believed that the Nazis would leave the nobility with their wealth. Where they knew the communists would come and take it all. That wasn't true, as we later found out.

So we had to decide. And we chose the communists are better than the Nazis. In the end, they weren't. But they were the lesser of two evils. And so we decided to side with the communists.

So World War II goes on, and just before they lose, Germany goes down, and they plant the seeds of Naziism. Now, this is where I think it becomes Satanic. Not that they weren't Satanic to begin with. This is where I see the long-term play of Satan. The Nazis go down to the Middle East and they start playing footsy with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Mufti of Persia, and they plant all this anti-Semitism. They plant the Protocols of Zion. They plant all of these things and stir everybody up. And it is so effective, that Persia changes its name to Iran. In Persian, Iran means Aryan. They go and give it as a gift to Hitler and say, this is our gift to you. We are the Aryan Nation.

So the reason why I say this is World War III because Russia is rearing her ugly head. Tonight at TV at 5:00, it's critical to watch this. There's two sides to this coin. First, there is the Russian fascism that is growing. There was murder of one really, really important guy in Russia on Saturday. And an arrest of his partner. And nobody in the west is talking about this.

This is -- as crazy as the -- as the caliphate theory was, and I'm telling you, if you want to understand what's coming, you need to watch this. Everybody now is concentrating on the caliphate, we're looking at the other shoe drop. It is, if you will, the communists much World War II. They have gone fascist now, but they are planting themselves in Italy and in France and in Germany. And what happened this weekend is a very important step of growth for them, and a very frightening one.

And the world is going to have to choose again. And I would suggest that we choose neither. The world is going to have choose. They're going to say, do we side with the fascists? And Europe will choose the fascists. Or do we choose ISIS? And much of the world will choose ISIS. Those will be your Axis and Allied powers. The question is, where does the United States fall?

The president has already played footsy with Putin. Giving me more space and when I have the election, I'll have more room to maneuver. He's already played footsy with him. But now we've pissed them off. Are we choosing the fascist side?

The president has also played footsy -- they're playing now footsy with Iran. We're going behind the back of Congress, behind the back of Israel, behind the back of all of our allies, and we are negotiating a treaty with Iran. A country that is part and parcel with this idea that they can vaporize Israel in order to bring back the promised one, in order to bring about Armageddon. Those are not my words. Those are their words.

This is where World War II left off. World War II, Hitler comes down, and he plants all of this sick ideology. But what he doesn't know, or maybe he does, is that their ideology fits now part and parcel with their theological belief that they will play a role in the battle of Armageddon.

Our battle of Armageddon is Gog and Magog. If you know anything about ancient history, that is Persia and Russia. Russia and Persia are together. The United States is now siding with Persia. Russia and Persia are together. The United States is now siding with Persia. The reason I keep calling it Persia is to give you the remembrance of Hitler changed it to Iran. But also, this is the week that Mordecai in biblical history, Mordecai went and spoke to Esther, and said to Esther, the king is about to kill all of the Jews. You have a position. You can talk him out of this. You can stop this.

Haman is a bad guy, and he has the ear of the king. And because the king is listening to Haman, he is going to kill all the Jews.

Now, who -- if history repeats itself, this week, who is Mordecai? I believe Mordecai is Benjamin Netanyahu. I believe Haman is Iran. Persia.

I don't know if the king is Barack Obama or the Congress. But I believe the American people are Esther. And it is why President Obama is trying so desperately to get people to not listen to this speech. He has asked the Democrats to walk out, 34 Democrats have walked out of this speech. It happens today at 11:00 p.m. central, 12 o'clock eastern. We are going to play it in its entirety at 8:00 p.m. tonight for you to be able to watch it with some analysis afterwards. But it is critical that you watch it. Because the forces arrayed against it are astronomical.

Have you ever seen a speech that hasn't been given get this much attention? I mean, the last speech I saw get this much attention before it was given, was 8/28. Do you remember the buildup of 8/28? For months they talked about what a hate speech that would be. How dangerous it would be. And then once it was given, if America would have listened to it, it could have actually changed the course. And I do believe it did change the course with many people. It had its desired outcome, I believe, for the Lord.

You need to make an appointment to be able to see this speech tonight because the question is: Will you, like Esther, accept the fact -- will the United States accept the fact that we were born for a time such as this?

The Woodrow Wilson strategy to get out of Mother’s Day

Stock Montage / Contributor, Xinhua News Agency / Contributor | Getty Images

I’ve got a potentially helpful revelation that’s gonna blow the lid off your plans for this Sunday. It’s Mother’s Day.

Yeah, that sacred day where you’re guilt-tripped into buying flowers, braving crowded brunch buffets, and pretending you didn’t forget to mail the card. But what if I told you… you don’t have to do it? That’s right, there’s a loophole, a get-out-of-Mother’s-Day-free card, and it’s stamped with the name of none other than… Woodrow Wilson (I hate that guy).

Back in 1914, ol’ Woody Wilson signed a proclamation that officially made Mother’s Day a national holiday. Second Sunday in May, every year. He said it was a day to “publicly express our love and reverence for the mothers of our country.” Sounds sweet, right? Until you peel back the curtain.

See, Wilson wasn’t some sentimental guy sitting around knitting doilies for his mom. No, no, no. This was a calculated move.

The idea for Mother’s Day had been floating around for decades, pushed by influential voices like Julia Ward Howe. By 1911, states were jumping on the bandwagon, but it took Wilson to make it federal. Why? Because he was a master of optics. This guy loved big, symbolic gestures to distract from the real stuff he was up to, like, oh, I don’t know, reshaping the entire federal government!

So here’s the deal: if you’re looking for an excuse to skip Mother’s Day, just lean into this. Say, “Sorry, Mom, I’m not celebrating a holiday cooked up by Woodrow Wilson!” I mean, think about it – this is the guy who gave us the Federal Reserve, the income tax, and don’t even get me started on his assault on basic liberties during World War I. You wanna trust THAT guy with your Sunday plans? I don’t think so! You tell your mom, “Look, I love you, but I’m not observing a Progressive holiday. I’m keeping my brunch money in protest.”

Now, I know what you might be thinking.

“Glenn, my mom’s gonna kill me if I try this.” Fair point. Moms can be scary. But hear me out: you can spin this. Tell her you’re honoring her EVERY DAY instead of some government-mandated holiday. You don’t need Wilson’s permission to love your mom! You can bake her a cake in June, call her in July, or, here’s a wild idea, visit her WITHOUT a Woodrow Wilson federal proclamation guilting you into it.

Shocking Christian massacres unveiled

Is a Christian Genocide unfolding overseas?

Recent reports suggest an alarming escalation in violence against Christians, raising questions about whether these acts constitute genocide under international law. Recently, Glenn hosted former U.S. Army Special Forces Sniper Tim Kennedy, who discussed a predictive model that forecasts a surge in global Christian persecution for the summer of 2025.

From Africa to Asia and the Middle East, extreme actions—some described as genocidal—have intensified over the past year. Over 380 million Christians worldwide face high levels of persecution, a number that continues to climb. With rising international concern, the United Nations and human rights groups are urging protective measures by the global community. Is a Christian genocide being waged in the far corners of the globe? Where are they taking place, and what is being done?

India: Hindu Extremist Violence Escalates

In India, attacks on Christians have surged as Hindu extremist groups gain influence within the country. In February 2025, Hindu nationalist leader Aadesh Soni organized a 50,000-person rally in Chhattisgarh, where he called for the rape and murder of all Christians in nearby villages and demanded the execution of Christian leaders to erase Christianity. Other incidents include forced conversions, such as a June 2024 attack in Chhattisgarh, where a Hindu mob gave Christian families a 10-day ultimatum to convert to Hinduism. In December 2024, a Christian man in Uttar Pradesh was attacked, forcibly converted, and paraded while the mob chanted "Death to Jesus."

The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) recommends designating India a "Country of Particular Concern" and imposing targeted sanctions on those perpetrating these attacks. The international community is increasingly alarmed by the rising tide of religious violence in India.

Syria: Sectarian Violence Post-Regime Change

Following the collapse of the Assad regime in December 2024, Syria has seen a wave of sectarian violence targeting religious minorities, including Christians, with over 1,000 killed in early 2025. It remains unclear whether Christians are deliberately targeted or caught in broader conflicts, but many fear persecution by the new regime or extremist groups. Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a dominant rebel group and known al-Qaeda splinter group now in power, is known for anti-Christian sentiments, heightening fears of increased persecution.

Christians, especially converts from Islam, face severe risks in the unstable post-regime environment. The international community is calling for humanitarian aid and protection for Syria’s vulnerable minority communities.

Democratic Republic of Congo: A "Silent Genocide"

In February 2025, the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an ISIS-affiliated group, beheaded 70 Christians—men, women, and children—in a Protestant church in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo, after tying their hands. This horrific massacre, described as a "silent genocide" reminiscent of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, has shocked the global community.

Since 1996, the ADF and other militias have killed over six million people, with Christians frequently targeted. A Christmas 2024 attack killed 46, further decimating churches in the region. With violence escalating, humanitarian organizations are urging immediate international intervention to address the crisis.

MIGUEL J. RODRIGUEZ CARRILLO / Contributor | Getty Images

Is Starbase the future of innovation or a step too far?

Elon Musk’s ambitious Starbase project in South Texas is reshaping Boca Chica into a cutting-edge hub for SpaceX’s Starship program, promising thousands of jobs and a leap toward Mars colonization. Supporters see Musk as a visionary, driving economic growth and innovation in a historically underserved region. However, local critics, including Brownsville residents and activists, argue that SpaceX’s presence raises rents, restricts beach access, and threatens environmental harm, with Starbase’s potential incorporation as a city sparking fears of unchecked corporate control. As pro-Musk advocates clash with anti-Musk skeptics, will Starbase unite the community or deepen the divide?

Let us know what you think in the poll below:

Is Starbase’s development a big win for South Texas?

Should Starbase become its own city?

Is Elon Musk’s vision more of a benefit than a burden for the region?

Shocking truth behind Trump-Zelenskyy mineral deal unveiled

Chip Somodevilla / Staff | Getty Images

President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have finalized a landmark agreement that will shape the future of U.S.-Ukraine relations. The agreement focuses on mineral access and war recovery.

After a tense March meeting, Trump and Zelenskyy signed a deal on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, granting the U.S. preferential mineral rights in Ukraine in exchange for continued military support. Glenn analyzed an earlier version of the agreement in March, when Zelenskyy rejected it, highlighting its potential benefits for America, Ukraine, and Europe. Glenn praised the deal’s strategic alignment with U.S. interests, including reducing reliance on China for critical minerals and fostering regional peace.

However, the agreement signed this week differs from the March proposal Glenn praised. Negotiations led to significant revisions, reflecting compromises on both sides. What changes were made? What did each leader seek, and what did they achieve? How will this deal impact the future of U.S.-Ukraine relations and global geopolitics? Below, we break down the key aspects of the agreement.

What did Trump want?

Trump aimed to curb what many perceive as Ukraine’s overreliance on U.S. aid while securing strategic advantages for America. His primary goals included obtaining reimbursement for the billions in military aid provided to Ukraine, gaining exclusive access to Ukraine’s valuable minerals (such as titanium, uranium, and lithium), and reducing Western dependence on China for critical resources. These minerals are essential for aerospace, energy, and technology sectors, and Trump saw their acquisition as a way to bolster U.S. national security and economic competitiveness. Additionally, he sought to advance peace talks to end the Russia-Ukraine war, positioning the U.S. as a key mediator.

Ultimately, Trump secured preferential—but not exclusive—rights to extract Ukraine’s minerals through the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, as outlined in the agreement. The U.S. will not receive reimbursement for past aid, but future military contributions will count toward the joint fund, designed to support Ukraine’s post-war recovery. Zelenskyy’s commitment to peace negotiations under U.S. leadership aligns with Trump’s goal of resolving the conflict, giving him leverage in discussions with Russia.

These outcomes partially meet Trump’s objectives. The preferential mineral rights strengthen U.S. access to critical resources, but the lack of exclusivity and reimbursement limits the deal’s financial benefits. The peace commitment, however, positions Trump as a central figure in shaping the war’s resolution, potentially enhancing his diplomatic influence.

What did Zelenskyy want?

Zelenskyy sought to sustain U.S. military and economic support without the burden of repaying past aid, which has been critical for Ukraine’s defense against Russia. He also prioritized reconstruction funds to rebuild Ukraine’s war-torn economy and infrastructure. Security guarantees from the U.S. to deter future Russian aggression were a key demand, though controversial, as they risked entangling America in long-term commitments. Additionally, Zelenskyy aimed to retain control over Ukraine’s mineral wealth to safeguard national sovereignty and align with the country’s European Union membership aspirations.

The final deal delivered several of Zelenskyy’s priorities. The reconstruction fund, supported by future U.S. aid, provides a financial lifeline for Ukraine’s recovery without requiring repayment of past assistance. Ukraine retained ownership of its subsoil and decision-making authority over mineral extraction, granting only preferential access to the U.S. However, Zelenskyy conceded on security guarantees, a significant compromise, and agreed to pursue peace talks under Trump’s leadership, which may involve territorial or political concessions to Russia.

Zelenskyy’s outcomes reflect a delicate balance. The reconstruction fund and retained mineral control bolster Ukraine’s economic and sovereign interests, but the absence of security guarantees and pressure to negotiate peace could strain domestic support and challenge Ukraine’s long-term stability.

What does this mean for the future?

While Trump didn’t secure all his demands, the deal advances several of his broader strategic goals. By gaining access to Ukraine’s mineral riches, the U.S. undermines China’s dominance over critical elements like lithium and graphite, essential for technology and energy industries. This shift reduces American and European dependence on Chinese supply chains, strengthening Western industrial and tech sectors. Most significantly, the agreement marks a pivotal step toward peace in Europe. Ending the Russia-Ukraine war, which has claimed thousands of lives, is a top priority for Trump, and Zelenskyy’s commitment to U.S.-led peace talks enhances Trump’s leverage in negotiations with Russia. Notably, the deal avoids binding U.S. commitments to Ukraine’s long-term defense, preserving flexibility for future administrations.

The deal’s broader implications align with the vision Glenn outlined in March, when he praised its potential to benefit America, Ukraine, and Europe by securing resources and creating peace. While the final agreement differs from Glenn's hopes, it still achieves key goals he outlined.
