From wars and rumors of war abroad, to the rise of anti-Christian, "woke" ideology here at home, it's clear that Americans are living in perilous and unprecedented times. Some would even say that we're witnessing biblical prophecy unfold in real time. Stakelbeck Tonight will make sense of these stunning developments through a bold and biblical lens.

Stakelbeck Tonight | Erick Stakelbeck: July 16, 2026 | Stakelbeck Tonight | July 16, 2026
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight
- 00:00:04.661 --> 00:00:05.728
- I'm erick stakelbeck and when you see evil rising
- 00:00:05.728 --> 00:00:08.932
- In your midst, you can respond in one of three ways.
- 00:00:08.932 --> 00:00:13.470
- You can bury your head in the sand and ignore it.
- 00:00:13.470 --> 00:00:16.573
- Hoping and praying it doesn't come for you.
- 00:00:16.573 --> 00:00:19.509
- You can acknowledge it, but choose to appease it again,
- 00:00:19.509 --> 00:00:23.746
- Hoping and praying that it doesn't come for you.
- 00:00:23.746 --> 00:00:27.016
- Or you can call it for what it is and confront it head on.
- 00:00:27.016 --> 00:00:31.988
- Thankfully, the trump administration is choosing
- 00:00:31.988 --> 00:00:34.858
- The third option when it comes to the rise of left wing
- 00:00:34.858 --> 00:00:37.861
- Terrorism and outright communism here in america.
- 00:00:37.861 --> 00:00:41.498
- The administration held an event today
- 00:00:41.498 --> 00:00:43.099
- Focusing on the resurgence of political terrorism,
- 00:00:43.099 --> 00:00:46.402
- And secretary of state
- 00:00:46.402 --> 00:00:47.437
- Marco rubio spoke with the kind of moral clarity
- 00:00:47.437 --> 00:00:50.707
- That's badly needed in the face of this growing threat.
- 00:00:50.707 --> 00:00:54.577
- Watch.
- 00:00:54.577 --> 00:00:55.478
- This is a distinctive and unique evil.
- 00:00:55.478 --> 00:00:58.181
- It has always been driven by a hatred above
- 00:00:58.181 --> 00:01:01.217
- All else, a hatred for civilization itself.
- 00:01:01.217 --> 00:01:04.654
- It is a revolt of the worst against the best,
- 00:01:04.654 --> 00:01:08.057
- A revolt of the weak
- 00:01:08.057 --> 00:01:09.359
- And the cowardly against the strong and the good.
- 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:13.596
- It is perpetrated by those who cannot build,
- 00:01:13.596 --> 00:01:16.232
- Who cannot create, who cannot achieve great things
- 00:01:16.232 --> 00:01:20.203
- And take their revenge upon the world
- 00:01:20.203 --> 00:01:22.071
- For their own inadequacy by seeking to destroy
- 00:01:22.071 --> 00:01:25.108
- Those who can.
- 00:01:25.108 --> 00:01:27.510
- This is what radical leftism is.
- 00:01:27.510 --> 00:01:30.346
- It may wear various different
- 00:01:30.346 --> 00:01:31.748
- Slogans and ideologies across place and time.
- 00:01:31.748 --> 00:01:34.851
- They can call themselves anti-capitalist
- 00:01:34.851 --> 00:01:36.853
- Or anti-imperialist or communist or anarchist or marxist,
- 00:01:36.853 --> 00:01:41.457
- But the fundamental character is always the same.
- 00:01:41.457 --> 00:01:44.294
- It's always the same.
- 00:01:44.294 --> 00:01:45.628
- It is a poisonous resentment
- 00:01:45.628 --> 00:01:48.131
- Cloaked in the language
- 00:01:48.131 --> 00:01:49.265
- Of equality and justice and liberation and overwhelming
- 00:01:49.265 --> 00:01:53.236
- Need to tear down what greater men have built to wreck
- 00:01:53.236 --> 00:01:56.973
- What is beautiful and what is right.
- 00:01:56.973 --> 00:01:59.375
- On behalf of people who are only filled with ugliness
- 00:01:59.375 --> 00:02:02.412
- And have nothing else to offer the world.
- 00:02:02.412 --> 00:02:07.116
- Folks,
- 00:02:07.317 --> 00:02:08.518
- I can't think of a better summation of the radical left
- 00:02:08.518 --> 00:02:10.787
- Than that anti-god, anti-family and anti freedom
- 00:02:10.787 --> 00:02:15.458
- Driven by jealousy, resentment and grievance.
- 00:02:15.458 --> 00:02:19.262
- They despise america, western civilization,
- 00:02:19.262 --> 00:02:22.265
- Israel, and all that is good and true.
- 00:02:22.265 --> 00:02:25.535
- They celebrate islam, lgbtq and transgender madness,
- 00:02:25.535 --> 00:02:30.940
- And poll after poll shows that they support
- 00:02:30.940 --> 00:02:33.876
- Political violence against anyone who stands
- 00:02:33.876 --> 00:02:36.412
- In the way of their revolutionary agenda.
- 00:02:36.412 --> 00:02:39.482
- That's why they continue to try to assassinate president trump
- 00:02:39.482 --> 00:02:43.152
- And why they murdered charlie kirk.
- 00:02:43.152 --> 00:02:45.588
- They're willing
- 00:02:45.588 --> 00:02:46.823
- To burn everything down in order to remake the united states
- 00:02:46.823 --> 00:02:50.260
- Into something from your worst nightmares.
- 00:02:50.260 --> 00:02:53.296
- But again, thank god we have leadership right now
- 00:02:53.296 --> 00:02:57.133
- That is not only acknowledging the problem, but
- 00:02:57.133 --> 00:02:59.936
- Vowing to do something about it before it's too late.
- 00:02:59.936 --> 00:03:03.906
- The same can be said about another massive problem iran.
- 00:03:03.906 --> 00:03:08.344
- The us has carried out massive airstrikes
- 00:03:08.344 --> 00:03:10.480
- Against iran's regime targets over the past
- 00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:12.582
- Several nights, and president trump is reportedly considering
- 00:03:12.582 --> 00:03:16.419
- Expanding the us military operation there.
- 00:03:16.419 --> 00:03:19.722
- Joining us next to break down the latest
- 00:03:19.722 --> 00:03:21.591
- On threats both at home and abroad is the chairman
- 00:03:21.591 --> 00:03:24.594
- Of the senate intelligence committee, senator tom cotton.
- 00:03:24.594 --> 00:03:28.231
- And it all starts now.
- 00:03:28.231 --> 00:03:46.849
- He's a driving
- 00:03:47.183 --> 00:03:48.351
- Force in the us senate for peace through strength policies.
- 00:03:48.351 --> 00:03:52.388
- Senator tom cotton is chair of the senate republican conference
- 00:03:52.388 --> 00:03:55.458
- And the senate intelligence committee.
- 00:03:55.458 --> 00:03:57.260
- He also sits on the committee on armed services,
- 00:03:57.260 --> 00:04:00.196
- And he joins us now from washington.
- 00:04:00.196 --> 00:04:02.231
- Senator, great to have you with us.
- 00:04:02.231 --> 00:04:04.067
- Hey, iran's regime seems to have made pretty clear
- 00:04:04.067 --> 00:04:06.736
- At this point
- 00:04:06.736 --> 00:04:07.870
- That it has no interest in any sort of credible deal.
- 00:04:07.870 --> 00:04:10.840
- We've tried.
- 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.375
- The regime seems to be rejecting that at every turn.
- 00:04:12.375 --> 00:04:15.778
- Senator, is it time to finish the job
- 00:04:15.778 --> 00:04:18.781
- Militarily in iran?
- 00:04:18.781 --> 00:04:22.352
- Yeah. erick, thanks for having me on.
- 00:04:22.352 --> 00:04:23.720
- First off, and color me shocked that the revolutionary fanatics
- 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:27.290
- Who run iran
- 00:04:27.290 --> 00:04:28.958
- Don't want any kind of deal and didn't
- 00:04:28.958 --> 00:04:30.426
- Keep their commitments under the previous deal,
- 00:04:30.426 --> 00:04:32.628
- As president trump has said lately.
- 00:04:32.628 --> 00:04:34.597
- They've made it perfectly clear
- 00:04:34.597 --> 00:04:36.199
- They're not going to uphold their commitments.
- 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.067
- They're not going to reach
- 00:04:38.067 --> 00:04:39.168
- Any kind of broader or long term comprehensive deal.
- 00:04:39.168 --> 00:04:42.171
- That's not who they are. they chant death to america.
- 00:04:42.171 --> 00:04:44.307
- They chant death to israel.
- 00:04:44.307 --> 00:04:45.508
- They export terror and violence to all of their neighbors.
- 00:04:45.508 --> 00:04:48.611
- Just last week, they started shooting
- 00:04:48.611 --> 00:04:50.012
- At their neighbors for no reason.
- 00:04:50.012 --> 00:04:51.881
- Also shooting at ships in the strait of hormuz.
- 00:04:51.881 --> 00:04:54.550
- So i think it's time that we finish our operational plans
- 00:04:54.550 --> 00:04:57.754
- Against iran.
- 00:04:57.754 --> 00:04:58.621
- We left their military in a
- 00:04:58.621 --> 00:05:01.557
- Shambles in april.
- 00:05:01.991 --> 00:05:03.860
- I think it's time to lead them
- 00:05:03.860 --> 00:05:05.027
- In a complete and total shambles.
- 00:05:05.027 --> 00:05:07.096
- Their nuclear program is already destroyed.
- 00:05:07.096 --> 00:05:10.099
- We can make sure that ships are getting
- 00:05:10.099 --> 00:05:11.734
- Through the southern channel, the strait of hormuz.
- 00:05:11.734 --> 00:05:14.070
- Iran can still harass shipping,
- 00:05:14.070 --> 00:05:15.538
- But we have the military capability
- 00:05:15.538 --> 00:05:17.640
- To negate most of that threat and to protect their ships and,
- 00:05:17.640 --> 00:05:21.611
- Of course, keep the blockade in place,
- 00:05:21.611 --> 00:05:23.179
- Because that's depriving iran of almost a half billion dollars
- 00:05:23.179 --> 00:05:26.416
- A day of revenue
- 00:05:26.416 --> 00:05:27.450
- That it used to fund its revolutionary terror.
- 00:05:27.450 --> 00:05:31.020
- So i think it's clear
- 00:05:31.020 --> 00:05:32.622
- Which direction the president is heading.
- 00:05:32.622 --> 00:05:34.991
- And i strongly support the decision,
- 00:05:34.991 --> 00:05:36.959
- Just like i supported the decision
- 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:38.494
- To deal the death blow to iran's
- 00:05:38.494 --> 00:05:40.196
- Nuclear program last year as well.
- 00:05:40.196 --> 00:05:42.098
- But it's time to finish off the operational campaign
- 00:05:42.098 --> 00:05:44.700
- And to put an end to the violence
- 00:05:44.700 --> 00:05:46.536
- That iran has been exporting all throughout the middle east.
- 00:05:46.536 --> 00:05:49.772
- Yes, senator.
- 00:05:49.772 --> 00:05:50.306
- Well said.
- 00:05:50.306 --> 00:05:51.541
- We have a 47 year sample size of what this regime is all about.
- 00:05:51.541 --> 00:05:53.943
- You mentioned the nuclear program,
- 00:05:53.943 --> 00:05:55.711
- Mostly rubble right now.
- 00:05:55.711 --> 00:05:57.180
- But what about the ballistic
- 00:05:57.180 --> 00:05:58.481
- Missile and drone programs in iran?
- 00:05:58.481 --> 00:06:00.850
- Is that the big threat now, cent
- 00:06:00.850 --> 00:06:05.888
- Yes, eric.
- 00:06:06.189 --> 00:06:06.989
- And we did destroy a lot of
- 00:06:06.989 --> 00:06:08.491
- Their ballistic missiles
- 00:06:08.491 --> 00:06:09.959
- And their missile launchers and their drones
- 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:11.694
- And their capability to manufacture
- 00:06:11.694 --> 00:06:13.696
- New missiles and drones in march and in april.
- 00:06:13.696 --> 00:06:17.200
- Now we just need to finish off the rest of it.
- 00:06:17.200 --> 00:06:20.503
- If we don't destroy it,
- 00:06:20.503 --> 00:06:21.771
- We at least need to bear
- 00:06:21.771 --> 00:06:22.738
- It deep underneath the earth, in the tunnels
- 00:06:22.738 --> 00:06:25.308
- That they've built to protect them.
- 00:06:25.308 --> 00:06:26.843
- That's a large part
- 00:06:26.843 --> 00:06:27.844
- Of protecting shipping through the straits,
- 00:06:27.844 --> 00:06:29.912
- Also a part
- 00:06:29.912 --> 00:06:31.047
- Of protecting our troops and our friends in the region.
- 00:06:31.047 --> 00:06:33.816
- I would expect that would take weeks, not months, to complete.
- 00:06:33.816 --> 00:06:37.453
- And i think that may be
- 00:06:37.453 --> 00:06:38.521
- Where the president is heading
- 00:06:38.521 --> 00:06:39.655
- Without those missiles, without the drones,
- 00:06:39.655 --> 00:06:41.958
- Without the ability to manufacture new ones.
- 00:06:41.958 --> 00:06:44.694
- Iran is still going
- 00:06:44.694 --> 00:06:45.595
- To be governed by revolutionary fanatics,
- 00:06:45.595 --> 00:06:47.096
- But they won't have the military means
- 00:06:47.096 --> 00:06:49.131
- To cause the chaos and violence they have,
- 00:06:49.131 --> 00:06:51.801
- Not just for the last few months,
- 00:06:51.801 --> 00:06:53.736
- But as you said, for the last 47 years.
- 00:06:53.736 --> 00:06:55.905
- We're in the process
- 00:06:55.905 --> 00:06:56.672
- Of crippling the world's
- 00:06:56.672 --> 00:06:57.640
- Number one state sponsor of terrorism,
- 00:06:57.640 --> 00:06:59.141
- Which has long range ballistic missiles
- 00:06:59.141 --> 00:07:00.977
- Which can reach london, paris, berlin and beyond.
- 00:07:00.977 --> 00:07:04.847
- And yet, europe.
- 00:07:04.847 --> 00:07:06.549
- Nato hasn't seen to have had much stomach to join this fight.
- 00:07:06.549 --> 00:07:10.920
- Senator, are you bit surprised by that?
- 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.455
- And even the arab gulf states the uae has pitched in,
- 00:07:12.455 --> 00:07:15.224
- But even the arab gulf states as well.
- 00:07:15.224 --> 00:07:16.826
- It seems that america and israel
- 00:07:16.826 --> 00:07:19.161
- Are really the only two nations that are answering
- 00:07:19.161 --> 00:07:22.098
- The call in a serious way to confront this regime.
- 00:07:22.098 --> 00:07:26.335
- Well, a lot of our allies have been disappointing,
- 00:07:26.335 --> 00:07:28.771
- Erick, as you say. but i think you are right.
- 00:07:28.771 --> 00:07:31.040
- It's critical that we cite israel as a model ally.
- 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.510
- Israel has fought alongside us
- 00:07:34.510 --> 00:07:36.212
- Against iran over the last year
- 00:07:36.212 --> 00:07:37.947
- In a way, really, that no ally has done
- 00:07:37.947 --> 00:07:40.383
- Since great britain in world war two.
- 00:07:40.383 --> 00:07:42.251
- No offense to the countries
- 00:07:42.251 --> 00:07:43.452
- That fought with us in places like iraq or afghanistan,
- 00:07:43.452 --> 00:07:46.022
- But israel's technological capabilities
- 00:07:46.022 --> 00:07:49.058
- And their fierce and determined fighting force
- 00:07:49.058 --> 00:07:52.361
- Really has been a model for all of our allies.
- 00:07:52.361 --> 00:07:55.264
- Many of the arab nations, too, though they may be small,
- 00:07:55.264 --> 00:07:57.833
- They've been cooperative and helpful.
- 00:07:57.833 --> 00:07:59.468
- You mentioned one, the united arab emirates.
- 00:07:59.468 --> 00:08:01.370
- Bahrain has been the same.
- 00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:02.939
- I understand that being right next to iran makes them
- 00:08:02.939 --> 00:08:06.342
- Even more concerned about the potential for mass
- 00:08:06.342 --> 00:08:09.145
- Missile strikes, especially against the crown
- 00:08:09.145 --> 00:08:11.213
- Jewels of their infrastructure.
- 00:08:11.213 --> 00:08:12.982
- But i think it would be better if we're all working together
- 00:08:12.982 --> 00:08:15.251
- In the same direction, to try to put an end to iran's ability
- 00:08:15.251 --> 00:08:18.521
- To terrorize all of us in the middle east.
- 00:08:18.521 --> 00:08:21.591
- Finally, in europe, it's almost uniformly been
- 00:08:21.591 --> 00:08:24.427
- Bitterly disappointing.
- 00:08:24.427 --> 00:08:25.661
- Erick,
- 00:08:25.661 --> 00:08:26.262
- I understand
- 00:08:26.262 --> 00:08:27.196
- Some of those countries may not want to go
- 00:08:27.196 --> 00:08:28.464
- Be a part of the fight in the persian gulf,
- 00:08:28.464 --> 00:08:30.733
- And that's beyond the treaty territory of nato.
- 00:08:30.733 --> 00:08:35.271
- But many of these countries want a step further.
- 00:08:35.271 --> 00:08:37.640
- They close their airspace to us.
- 00:08:37.640 --> 00:08:39.508
- They close the bases that we have there and wouldn't
- 00:08:39.508 --> 00:08:42.278
- Let us use those bases or their airspace.
- 00:08:42.278 --> 00:08:44.780
- That's beyond the paul.
- 00:08:44.780 --> 00:08:46.983
- I mean, they did this to for political reasons.
- 00:08:46.983 --> 00:08:49.552
- Most leaders of these countries are center left,
- 00:08:49.552 --> 00:08:53.823
- If not outright socialist, and they're very polling
- 00:08:53.823 --> 00:08:57.793
- Very poorly in their domestic politics.
- 00:08:57.793 --> 00:09:00.596
- And they know the best way to get a bump in the polls
- 00:09:00.596 --> 00:09:03.399
- Is to take on donald trump.
- 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.034
- So i'm very disappointed
- 00:09:05.034 --> 00:09:06.435
- In european leaders who have put their own domestic
- 00:09:06.435 --> 00:09:08.838
- Political standing ahead of nato solidarity.
- 00:09:08.838 --> 00:09:11.874
- Yeah. senator.
- 00:09:11.874 --> 00:09:12.508
- Well said.
- 00:09:12.508 --> 00:09:12.975
- It seems to me
- 00:09:12.975 --> 00:09:13.909
- That israel is the first line of defense
- 00:09:13.909 --> 00:09:15.344
- For western civilization in the belly of the beast.
- 00:09:15.344 --> 00:09:18.014
- And america under president
- 00:09:18.014 --> 00:09:19.382
- Trump is the last line of defense,
- 00:09:19.382 --> 00:09:21.584
- The true firewall for our entire civilization.
- 00:09:21.584 --> 00:09:24.320
- With europe taking a pass here, abraham accords.
- 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:27.757
- Senator, look,
- 00:09:27.757 --> 00:09:28.624
- We could see we could be on the verge
- 00:09:28.624 --> 00:09:29.859
- Of a new middle east if iran's regime,
- 00:09:29.859 --> 00:09:31.694
- Thankfully, they've been weakened.
- 00:09:31.694 --> 00:09:32.962
- God willing, they topple.
- 00:09:32.962 --> 00:09:34.664
- Do you see the possibility for more abraham accords treaties
- 00:09:34.664 --> 00:09:38.334
- To come to the forefront?
- 00:09:38.334 --> 00:09:41.570
- Well, erick,
- 00:09:41.904 --> 00:09:42.905
- We would welcome expanding the abraham accords.
- 00:09:42.905 --> 00:09:45.641
- That was a signal achievement of president trump's first term
- 00:09:45.641 --> 00:09:48.711
- To have normalized diplomatic and trade relationships
- 00:09:48.711 --> 00:09:51.814
- Between israel and the one hand, and several arab nations.
- 00:09:51.814 --> 00:09:55.184
- Again, we would welcome the opportunity
- 00:09:55.951 --> 00:09:57.353
- To extend
- 00:09:57.353 --> 00:09:57.853
- That that something
- 00:09:57.853 --> 00:09:58.988
- That israel and its arab partners will have to decide
- 00:09:58.988 --> 00:10:01.757
- Jointly between themselves.
- 00:10:01.757 --> 00:10:03.092
- But anything we can do to help facilitate those conversations
- 00:10:03.092 --> 00:10:06.896
- And encourage them and help protect the accords
- 00:10:06.896 --> 00:10:10.066
- And bring more
- 00:10:10.066 --> 00:10:11.133
- Arab nations into the accord so they can all live
- 00:10:11.133 --> 00:10:13.235
- Together in peace with israel, like normal nations.
- 00:10:13.235 --> 00:10:16.739
- Sharing a neighborhood
- 00:10:16.739 --> 00:10:18.074
- Would obviously be in our vital national security interests.
- 00:10:18.074 --> 00:10:21.811
- And again,
- 00:10:21.811 --> 00:10:22.712
- Iran stands in the way of this literally
- 00:10:22.712 --> 00:10:24.280
- Standing in the way of peace in the middle east, this regime.
- 00:10:24.280 --> 00:10:27.550
- More with senator tom cotton after the break.
- 00:10:27.550 --> 00:10:29.185
- We're talking colombia
- 00:10:29.185 --> 00:10:30.319
- In our hemisphere, china, and much more of a senator.
- 00:10:30.319 --> 00:10:33.322
- Tom cotton. stick around.
- 00:10:33.322 --> 00:10:38.000
- Tom cotton. stick around.
- 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.762
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:10:41.529 --> 00:10:42.864
- We're talking to senator tom cotton.
- 00:10:42.864 --> 00:10:44.165
- He is chair of the senate intelligence committee
- 00:10:44.165 --> 00:10:46.134
- Representing the great state of arkansas.
- 00:10:46.134 --> 00:10:48.236
- Senator, we talked about iran in the previous block.
- 00:10:48.236 --> 00:10:50.472
- And when i think of iran's regime,
- 00:10:50.472 --> 00:10:52.140
- I invariably think of china, russia,
- 00:10:52.140 --> 00:10:55.410
- North korea, that modern day axis of evil.
- 00:10:55.410 --> 00:10:58.713
- You've been sound
- 00:10:58.713 --> 00:10:59.814
- The alarm on capitol hill about the rise of china,
- 00:10:59.814 --> 00:11:03.118
- Massive military and nuclear buildup
- 00:11:03.118 --> 00:11:06.321
- From the communist regime in beijing.
- 00:11:06.321 --> 00:11:08.757
- Are they preparing for a long term confrontation
- 00:11:08.757 --> 00:11:12.560
- With the united states?
- 00:11:12.560 --> 00:11:13.528
- Is that their end game here?
- 00:11:13.528 --> 00:11:15.830
- Yeah.
- 00:11:15.830 --> 00:11:16.331
- No question erick,
- 00:11:16.331 --> 00:11:17.665
- They've been very explicit about that very fact.
- 00:11:17.665 --> 00:11:21.136
- They've intended to replace the united states as the world's
- 00:11:21.136 --> 00:11:24.239
- Dominant superpower for a long time, being
- 00:11:24.239 --> 00:11:29.310
- The chief leader of communist china.
- 00:11:30.111 --> 00:11:32.280
- After malpass had a maxim which was hide
- 00:11:32.280 --> 00:11:36.151
- Your strength and bide your time.
- 00:11:36.151 --> 00:11:38.353
- And they did that for many decades.
- 00:11:38.353 --> 00:11:40.054
- But lately it hasn't been hiding bide.
- 00:11:40.054 --> 00:11:42.423
- It's been show and tell.
- 00:11:42.423 --> 00:11:44.058
- You just mentioned some of their military buildup.
- 00:11:44.058 --> 00:11:45.894
- It's the biggest military buildup in peacetime history.
- 00:11:45.894 --> 00:11:49.731
- Their nuclear
- 00:11:49.731 --> 00:11:50.899
- Arsenal is expanding faster than any nuclear arsenal,
- 00:11:50.899 --> 00:11:54.235
- Either the united states or russia.
- 00:11:54.235 --> 00:11:56.538
- Soon they may be at nuclear parity with the united states
- 00:11:56.538 --> 00:11:59.774
- And even overmatched if combined,
- 00:11:59.774 --> 00:12:01.509
- Russia and chinese nuclear forces combined.
- 00:12:01.509 --> 00:12:04.412
- This isn't to say that they want a war
- 00:12:04.412 --> 00:12:06.548
- With the united states, but rather to borrow
- 00:12:06.548 --> 00:12:09.050
- From churchill about soviet russia.
- 00:12:09.050 --> 00:12:10.752
- They want the spoils of war without having to fight, one
- 00:12:10.752 --> 00:12:14.255
- That is taking taiwan,
- 00:12:14.255 --> 00:12:15.990
- Calling the shots first in their region,
- 00:12:15.990 --> 00:12:18.092
- And then calling the shots worldwide.
- 00:12:18.092 --> 00:12:20.395
- So the united states becomes, like most other states,
- 00:12:20.395 --> 00:12:23.698
- A kind of vassal state to provider of commodities
- 00:12:23.698 --> 00:12:26.935
- Like foodstuffs and energy.
- 00:12:26.935 --> 00:12:28.903
- They don't want to have to fight for that.
- 00:12:28.903 --> 00:12:30.538
- But if they have to fight, i fear that they will.
- 00:12:30.538 --> 00:12:34.008
- That's why we have to be strong, confident
- 00:12:34.008 --> 00:12:36.778
- And resolute in the defense of our national interests
- 00:12:36.778 --> 00:12:39.948
- And standing up for our friends around china as well.
- 00:12:39.948 --> 00:12:43.051
- To make it clear to the dictator that runs china
- 00:12:43.051 --> 00:12:46.955
- That he should not
- 00:12:46.955 --> 00:12:48.690
- He should not be tempted to a trial of strength.
- 00:12:48.690 --> 00:12:51.492
- Yeah.
- 00:12:51.492 --> 00:12:52.060
- And you've been a voice
- 00:12:52.060 --> 00:12:53.127
- For moral clarity on this issue in the us senate.
- 00:12:53.127 --> 00:12:55.864
- Speaking of which, you've introduced
- 00:12:55.864 --> 00:12:57.632
- The countering ccp act.
- 00:12:57.632 --> 00:12:59.634
- A lot of people may not be aware
- 00:12:59.634 --> 00:13:01.469
- That many of our medical devices here in america
- 00:13:01.469 --> 00:13:04.038
- Are actually manufactured in china.
- 00:13:04.038 --> 00:13:07.208
- Senator, tell us more about this important legislation.
- 00:13:07.208 --> 00:13:10.178
- Erick, it's sadly the reality that china has us over
- 00:13:11.212 --> 00:13:14.182
- The barrel on so much of what we use in everyday life.
- 00:13:14.182 --> 00:13:17.352
- Many americans were shocked to learn
- 00:13:17.352 --> 00:13:19.187
- During the covid pandemic
- 00:13:19.187 --> 00:13:20.622
- That china had cornered
- 00:13:20.622 --> 00:13:21.656
- The market on basic things like surgical masks
- 00:13:21.656 --> 00:13:24.893
- And gowns and latex gloves, or basic medicines
- 00:13:24.893 --> 00:13:28.229
- Like acetaminophen or ibuprofen or other antibiotics.
- 00:13:28.229 --> 00:13:32.667
- The case that's the case to for a lot of medical devices
- 00:13:32.667 --> 00:13:35.470
- Is if they're not made in china,
- 00:13:35.470 --> 00:13:36.871
- There are at least made with chinese components.
- 00:13:36.871 --> 00:13:39.140
- Anything that's electronic, that's made in china,
- 00:13:39.140 --> 00:13:41.709
- I view a suspect and potentially a back door
- 00:13:41.709 --> 00:13:46.114
- To the chinese communist party to learn more about americans,
- 00:13:46.114 --> 00:13:49.984
- To build massive databases on us, to include on very sensitive
- 00:13:49.984 --> 00:13:54.389
- Health and medical data to use against us in the future.
- 00:13:54.389 --> 00:13:58.059
- That's why
- 00:13:58.059 --> 00:13:58.927
- It's one of those things that i think
- 00:13:58.927 --> 00:14:00.261
- It's very vital that we not be dependent on china for.
- 00:14:00.261 --> 00:14:02.864
- I look,
- 00:14:02.864 --> 00:14:03.932
- I wish we weren't dependent on china for anything,
- 00:14:03.932 --> 00:14:05.166
- But if we get our cheap, if we get cheap shoes and cheap
- 00:14:05.166 --> 00:14:08.436
- Blue jeans from china, that's one thing.
- 00:14:08.436 --> 00:14:10.138
- But to get life saving medicine or medical equipment for china,
- 00:14:10.138 --> 00:14:13.708
- That's a different kettle of fish.
- 00:14:13.708 --> 00:14:15.476
- Yeah, that's a lot of trouble for sure.
- 00:14:15.476 --> 00:14:17.111
- And of course, you are chair
- 00:14:17.111 --> 00:14:18.279
- Of the senate intelligence committee.
- 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:19.747
- So you know that china trying to make inroads
- 00:14:19.747 --> 00:14:22.016
- Here in the western hemisphere as well.
- 00:14:22.016 --> 00:14:23.584
- You've been sound the alarm
- 00:14:23.584 --> 00:14:24.652
- About columbia, new president elect.
- 00:14:24.652 --> 00:14:26.354
- There is a conservative.
- 00:14:26.354 --> 00:14:27.889
- But there's been some high jinx, it seems, with the outgoing
- 00:14:27.889 --> 00:14:30.625
- Leftist government in columbia center.
- 00:14:30.625 --> 00:14:32.794
- What can you tell us about that?
- 00:14:32.794 --> 00:14:34.195
- And why is that of grave concern?
- 00:14:34.195 --> 00:14:36.230
- Again, it's in our backyard here in our hemisphere
- 00:14:36.230 --> 00:14:38.499
- For every american.
- 00:14:38.499 --> 00:14:40.802
- Well, we've seen a sea change in latin america
- 00:14:41.769 --> 00:14:44.038
- Over the last couple of years, president trump
- 00:14:44.038 --> 00:14:45.840
- Has really ushered in a wave of pro-american, center right
- 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:49.911
- Governments who want to cooperate with us,
- 00:14:49.911 --> 00:14:52.914
- Want to stop the
- 00:14:52.914 --> 00:14:54.048
- Wave of migration that we saw during the biden era.
- 00:14:54.048 --> 00:14:57.418
- Want to work with us on shutting down drug cartel trafficking?
- 00:14:57.418 --> 00:15:01.022
- And there may be no country more important than colombia.
- 00:15:01.022 --> 00:15:04.359
- It's right at the choke point of south america,
- 00:15:04.359 --> 00:15:07.628
- And central america produces vast amounts of cocaine.
- 00:15:07.628 --> 00:15:11.032
- There was a time fairly recently
- 00:15:11.032 --> 00:15:12.834
- That we had largely stopped cocaine
- 00:15:12.834 --> 00:15:14.769
- Smuggling out of colombia, but because of left wing
- 00:15:14.769 --> 00:15:17.705
- Anti-american governments, it's exploded once again.
- 00:15:17.705 --> 00:15:20.708
- Now we have an opportunity to reverse all of that
- 00:15:20.708 --> 00:15:24.612
- And to once again help colombia become a model, neighbor
- 00:15:24.612 --> 00:15:28.449
- And friend,
- 00:15:28.449 --> 00:15:29.617
- Cracking down on cocaine trafficking, on drug cartels,
- 00:15:29.617 --> 00:15:33.121
- Working together with the united states
- 00:15:33.121 --> 00:15:34.689
- To promote peace and stability in our own backyard.
- 00:15:34.689 --> 00:15:37.658
- The outgoing left wing president,
- 00:15:37.658 --> 00:15:39.260
- Who is very anti-american, has been making noises
- 00:15:39.260 --> 00:15:42.330
- About not allowing the clear victor of the presidential run
- 00:15:42.330 --> 00:15:46.100
- Off to take office, pulling
- 00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:47.902
- Using the levers of the state to try to stop it.
- 00:15:47.902 --> 00:15:50.938
- Senator bernie moreno from ohio and originally from colombia,
- 00:15:50.938 --> 00:15:53.875
- And i sent a letter to secretary rubio
- 00:15:53.875 --> 00:15:56.411
- And the president to commend them
- 00:15:56.411 --> 00:15:57.712
- For what they've done, to try
- 00:15:57.712 --> 00:15:58.813
- To stop that and urge them to ensure that there are
- 00:15:58.813 --> 00:16:02.417
- No shenanigans over the next 3 or 4 weeks,
- 00:16:02.417 --> 00:16:05.520
- As you have a transition in colombia to what it will be,
- 00:16:05.520 --> 00:16:08.456
- We hope, a very pro-american, pro-market government
- 00:16:08.456 --> 00:16:12.226
- That we can work with for years to come.
- 00:16:12.226 --> 00:16:13.928
- Senator, about 30s left before the break.
- 00:16:13.928 --> 00:16:15.797
- Then we will bring you right back,
- 00:16:15.797 --> 00:16:16.898
- As you said, a right word shift in latin america.
- 00:16:16.898 --> 00:16:20.268
- How much of that can be attributed
- 00:16:20.268 --> 00:16:22.036
- To president trump
- 00:16:22.036 --> 00:16:22.937
- Kind of setting the tone that that peace
- 00:16:22.937 --> 00:16:24.872
- Through strength, vision for the hemisphere?
- 00:16:24.872 --> 00:16:28.376
- Well, i think a
- 00:16:28.743 --> 00:16:29.811
- Lot of it can
- 00:16:29.811 --> 00:16:30.445
- Be attributed to left wing
- 00:16:30.445 --> 00:16:31.546
- Failures, which always happens when you have socialist
- 00:16:31.546 --> 00:16:33.915
- Governments take over because socialism has failed
- 00:16:33.915 --> 00:16:36.150
- Always and everywhere it's been tried.
- 00:16:36.150 --> 00:16:38.386
- I think president trump, though,
- 00:16:38.386 --> 00:16:39.787
- Has kind of blazed a trail for the americas to show
- 00:16:39.787 --> 00:16:43.357
- What a nation can accomplish with sensible, market
- 00:16:43.357 --> 00:16:46.227
- Based economics, with strong borders,
- 00:16:46.227 --> 00:16:48.663
- With support for the police and for law and order,
- 00:16:48.663 --> 00:16:51.899
- And looking to cooperate with governments to do the same.
- 00:16:51.899 --> 00:16:55.069
- These are not complicated things.
- 00:16:55.069 --> 00:16:56.838
- It just takes a little political will to do so.
- 00:16:56.838 --> 00:16:59.307
- And president trump and the united states
- 00:16:59.307 --> 00:17:00.908
- Are willing to help
- 00:17:00.908 --> 00:17:02.110
- These nations help themselves with that political will.
- 00:17:02.110 --> 00:17:04.779
- Communism, socialism, they do not work.
- 00:17:04.779 --> 00:17:07.115
- And yet we see it growing in popularity
- 00:17:07.115 --> 00:17:09.584
- Among some young americans.
- 00:17:09.584 --> 00:17:10.852
- We discuss that with senator tom cotton after the break.
- 00:17:10.852 --> 00:17:14.021
- Don't move.
- 00:17:14.021 --> 00:17:19.000
- Don't move.
- 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:21.894
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:17:22.661 --> 00:17:23.996
- We're talking to senator tom cotton,
- 00:17:23.996 --> 00:17:25.264
- Joining us from washington, d.c..
- 00:17:25.264 --> 00:17:27.099
- Senator, i mentioned before the break, communism, socialism,
- 00:17:27.099 --> 00:17:31.036
- The democratic socialists of america.
- 00:17:31.036 --> 00:17:33.172
- This is on the rise.
- 00:17:33.172 --> 00:17:34.540
- President trump's been sounding the alarm about it.
- 00:17:34.540 --> 00:17:36.709
- We have,
- 00:17:36.709 --> 00:17:37.910
- Of course, zoran mamdani, kind of the poster boy for this
- 00:17:37.910 --> 00:17:40.012
- And what's happening in new york city right now.
- 00:17:40.012 --> 00:17:41.780
- But we're seeing in other states
- 00:17:41.780 --> 00:17:42.915
- Around the country as well as the midterms approach.
- 00:17:42.915 --> 00:17:46.819
- This seems to be a serious threat.
- 00:17:46.819 --> 00:17:48.487
- This rise in socialist, marxist, anti-american philosophy
- 00:17:48.487 --> 00:17:53.492
- Among people seeking office in our country.
- 00:17:53.492 --> 00:17:57.696
- Unfortunately, there's no question
- 00:17:58.430 --> 00:17:59.632
- That socialism and marxism
- 00:17:59.632 --> 00:18:01.333
- Is on the rise in the democratic party.
- 00:18:01.333 --> 00:18:02.968
- The radical left is in the saddle.
- 00:18:02.968 --> 00:18:05.070
- I can tell you, erick, a lot of the democrats
- 00:18:05.070 --> 00:18:07.139
- With whom i serve,
- 00:18:07.139 --> 00:18:08.207
- They're not socialists, they're not marxists.
- 00:18:08.207 --> 00:18:10.376
- I know them.
- 00:18:10.376 --> 00:18:11.544
- But if you looked at their voting record, you wouldn't
- 00:18:11.544 --> 00:18:13.012
- Be able to tell much difference between them and zoran
- 00:18:13.012 --> 00:18:16.048
- Or alexandria ocasio-cortez or their colleague
- 00:18:16.048 --> 00:18:19.051
- Bernie sanders, who is a socialist.
- 00:18:19.051 --> 00:18:21.187
- And that's a big sea change in american politics.
- 00:18:21.187 --> 00:18:23.389
- Erick, you know, ten, 12 years ago,
- 00:18:23.389 --> 00:18:26.192
- Bernie sanders was an obscure
- 00:18:26.192 --> 00:18:28.260
- Independent socialist from vermont,
- 00:18:28.260 --> 00:18:30.029
- And not many people knew him outside of the
- 00:18:30.029 --> 00:18:31.864
- Us senate or vermont.
- 00:18:31.864 --> 00:18:33.098
- But he nearly won
- 00:18:33.098 --> 00:18:34.233
- The democratic nomination for the presidency twice.
- 00:18:34.233 --> 00:18:37.036
- He's now probably, along with zoran mamdani,
- 00:18:37.036 --> 00:18:39.305
- The most coveted endorser
- 00:18:39.305 --> 00:18:40.940
- And the biggest kingmaker in the democratic party.
- 00:18:40.940 --> 00:18:43.742
- As you said, it's not just in new york city.
- 00:18:43.742 --> 00:18:45.377
- It's in places like denver and also statewide in states
- 00:18:45.377 --> 00:18:48.847
- Like maine and michigan and wisconsin and minnesota.
- 00:18:48.847 --> 00:18:52.952
- The the old style democrat has either disappeared
- 00:18:52.952 --> 00:18:56.021
- And is too scared to stick his or her neck out.
- 00:18:56.021 --> 00:18:59.925
- So then they just roll with the socialist punches.
- 00:18:59.925 --> 00:19:01.927
- And where is that coming from? on the left?
- 00:19:01.927 --> 00:19:03.629
- Well, i think a lot of it
- 00:19:03.629 --> 00:19:04.863
- Is the radical left capture of our educational institutions.
- 00:19:04.863 --> 00:19:08.534
- First k through 12 and then college.
- 00:19:08.534 --> 00:19:10.970
- Thomas sowell, whom we both admire,
- 00:19:11.704 --> 00:19:13.339
- A great economic conservative, said that every generation is
- 00:19:13.339 --> 00:19:16.208
- Like an invasion of barbarians who have to be civilized.
- 00:19:16.208 --> 00:19:19.945
- If you want to preserve civilization, civilization,
- 00:19:19.945 --> 00:19:23.182
- The marxist, to understand that,
- 00:19:23.182 --> 00:19:24.383
- In fact part of marxist communist manifesto was seizing
- 00:19:24.383 --> 00:19:27.820
- Control of education to reeducate children,
- 00:19:27.820 --> 00:19:30.823
- Not giving them an education for liberty,
- 00:19:30.823 --> 00:19:33.092
- But to indoctrinate them in the tenets of socialism.
- 00:19:33.092 --> 00:19:35.828
- And i think it's
- 00:19:35.828 --> 00:19:37.062
- Vitally important as a nation, that we reverse that trend, that
- 00:19:37.062 --> 00:19:40.232
- We start teaching our kids,
- 00:19:40.232 --> 00:19:41.433
- Not just the old three r's reading, writing and arithmetic.
- 00:19:41.433 --> 00:19:44.470
- That's very important.
- 00:19:44.470 --> 00:19:45.571
- It's very important
- 00:19:45.571 --> 00:19:46.772
- For them to get good jobs, but we need to produce more than
- 00:19:46.772 --> 00:19:48.907
- Good workers in our schools.
- 00:19:48.907 --> 00:19:50.342
- We need to produce good citizens. yeah.
- 00:19:50.342 --> 00:19:52.945
- The nature of evil.
- 00:19:52.945 --> 00:19:53.912
- I mean, whether it's communism,
- 00:19:53.912 --> 00:19:55.914
- Radical islam, we discussed iran earlier in the show.
- 00:19:55.914 --> 00:19:58.450
- It's relentless.
- 00:19:58.450 --> 00:19:59.451
- This evil, these evil ideologies are relentless.
- 00:19:59.451 --> 00:20:01.820
- And as the great thomas sowell said as you quoted
- 00:20:01.820 --> 00:20:03.989
- Him, senator, we need to be vigilant
- 00:20:03.989 --> 00:20:05.824
- Against these ideologies when they rise up.
- 00:20:05.824 --> 00:20:08.193
- One person who did exactly that was your former colleague,
- 00:20:08.193 --> 00:20:11.397
- Senator lindsey graham, passed away sadly over the weekend.
- 00:20:11.397 --> 00:20:14.967
- Senator, talk a bit just about his legacy.
- 00:20:14.967 --> 00:20:17.036
- We talk about peace through strength and moral
- 00:20:17.036 --> 00:20:19.104
- Clarity in foreign policy, national security.
- 00:20:19.104 --> 00:20:22.274
- He really represented that many ways in the senate.
- 00:20:22.274 --> 00:20:25.144
- Yeah, it's hard to imagine the us senate
- 00:20:25.144 --> 00:20:26.845
- Without lindsey graham.
- 00:20:26.845 --> 00:20:28.314
- He was a true american original.
- 00:20:28.314 --> 00:20:29.882
- You know, he came from a working class background.
- 00:20:29.882 --> 00:20:31.817
- Both his parents passed away early,
- 00:20:31.817 --> 00:20:34.153
- So he took responsibility and ultimately became
- 00:20:34.153 --> 00:20:36.288
- Legal guardian for his younger sister, darlene,
- 00:20:36.288 --> 00:20:38.657
- Who is now carrying on his legacy here in the us senate.
- 00:20:38.657 --> 00:20:42.461
- Lindsey loved our nation.
- 00:20:42.461 --> 00:20:43.829
- If you loved america, he loved you and he loved freedom.
- 00:20:43.829 --> 00:20:47.166
- And if you fought for freedom, he would fight alongside you.
- 00:20:47.166 --> 00:20:50.436
- He also did it in a very cheerful and happy manner.
- 00:20:50.436 --> 00:20:54.707
- I can tell you that lindsey
- 00:20:54.707 --> 00:20:56.075
- Took our work seriously, but he never took himself
- 00:20:56.075 --> 00:20:58.610
- Or the rest of us very seriously.
- 00:20:58.610 --> 00:20:59.912
- And i think that's a good lesson for all of us,
- 00:20:59.912 --> 00:21:02.047
- Whether we're working in the united states senate
- 00:21:02.047 --> 00:21:03.816
- Or working on a farm back
- 00:21:03.816 --> 00:21:05.150
- Home in arkansas, or working in a factory
- 00:21:05.150 --> 00:21:07.753
- Is to always go forward in life like lindsey did,
- 00:21:07.753 --> 00:21:11.557
- To be dedicated to your work, to your family, to your friends,
- 00:21:11.557 --> 00:21:14.727
- And to your nation, and do it
- 00:21:14.727 --> 00:21:15.928
- With a spirit of joy and cheerfulness and gratitude
- 00:21:15.928 --> 00:21:19.231
- For what this great nation has given to all of us.
- 00:21:19.231 --> 00:21:21.400
- Yeah, he will. he will be missed.
- 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:23.102
- Hey, you mentioned farms in arkansas, your great home state.
- 00:21:23.102 --> 00:21:26.138
- Congress working on a farm bill right now.
- 00:21:26.138 --> 00:21:28.340
- Senator, a lot of challenges america's farmers are facing.
- 00:21:28.340 --> 00:21:31.577
- What are you looking for
- 00:21:31.577 --> 00:21:33.145
- In that bill to support america's farmers?
- 00:21:33.145 --> 00:21:35.247
- Anything in particular
- 00:21:35.247 --> 00:21:36.582
- That is that you're passionate about for our farmers?
- 00:21:36.582 --> 00:21:40.986
- Well, well, first off, erick, as you mentioned,
- 00:21:40.986 --> 00:21:42.488
- It's been a very tough time for farmers,
- 00:21:42.488 --> 00:21:44.223
- Not just in arkansas but across the country.
- 00:21:44.223 --> 00:21:46.325
- It's been a string of really bad years.
- 00:21:46.325 --> 00:21:49.027
- So the farm farmers in arkansas and all across our country
- 00:21:49.027 --> 00:21:52.064
- Are struggling mightily.
- 00:21:52.064 --> 00:21:53.465
- Fortunately, last year, as part of the working families
- 00:21:53.465 --> 00:21:55.667
- Tax cut, we passed the costly parts of the farm bill,
- 00:21:55.667 --> 00:22:00.005
- The farm insurance programs, and the food stamp program
- 00:22:00.005 --> 00:22:04.009
- That is going to kick in later this year.
- 00:22:04.009 --> 00:22:06.812
- That's going to provide farmers a lot of relief.
- 00:22:06.812 --> 00:22:09.214
- In the meantime, the president is taking action,
- 00:22:09.214 --> 00:22:11.350
- Like reducing duties on fertilizer imports.
- 00:22:11.350 --> 00:22:14.386
- Earlier this year, we provided up to $12 billion of
- 00:22:14.386 --> 00:22:17.189
- Aid to our farmers to get a bridge from where
- 00:22:17.189 --> 00:22:19.558
- They were to later this year when the new farm bill kicks in.
- 00:22:19.558 --> 00:22:23.262
- Yeah.
- 00:22:23.262 --> 00:22:23.629
- No doubt.
- 00:22:23.629 --> 00:22:24.496
- Senator, thank you for all you're doing
- 00:22:24.496 --> 00:22:25.497
- For the people of arkansas, for our country.
- 00:22:25.497 --> 00:22:27.466
- We appreciate you joining us. we hope to see you again soon.
- 00:22:27.466 --> 00:22:29.501
- Senator tom cotton. god bless. thanks again.
- 00:22:29.501 --> 00:22:32.337
- Thank you erick.
- 00:22:32.337 --> 00:22:33.906
- Absolutely great stuff there from senator tom cotton.
- 00:22:33.906 --> 00:22:36.141
- Coming up, my final thoughts.
- 00:22:36.141 --> 00:22:38.277
- Stick around.
- 00:22:38.277 --> 00:22:40.999
- Stick around.
- 00:22:40.999 --> 00:22:43.752
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks as wrap up.
- 00:22:44.820 --> 00:22:47.289
- Great conversation with senator tom cotton.
- 00:22:47.289 --> 00:22:49.891
- Look a lot of challenges
- 00:22:49.891 --> 00:22:51.193
- Clearly at a home and abroad at a time for prayer.
- 00:22:51.193 --> 00:22:54.729
- And if you think prayer doesn't work.
- 00:22:54.729 --> 00:22:56.498
- Think again. here's what the word of god says.
- 00:22:56.498 --> 00:22:58.433
- Colossians chapter four, verse two.
- 00:22:58.433 --> 00:23:00.302
- Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
- 00:23:00.302 --> 00:23:03.872
- Then we've got james chapter five, verse 16.
- 00:23:03.872 --> 00:23:06.575
- The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
- 00:23:06.575 --> 00:23:11.146
- So pray without ceasing for our nation
- 00:23:11.146 --> 00:23:14.583
- And pray for the peace of jerusalem.
- 00:23:14.583 --> 00:23:16.184
- That's where
- 00:23:16.184 --> 00:23:17.285
- We'll be heading tomorrow night with our good friend
- 00:23:17.285 --> 00:23:18.253
- Marty shoshone with a middle east breakdown.
- 00:23:18.253 --> 00:23:20.489
- You won't want to miss that until then.
- 00:23:20.489 --> 00:23:22.157
- God bless you. we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:22.157 --> 00:23:22.157
