- Looks away from this horror, yet never looks away from the
- 00:09:36.526 --> 00:09:40.129
- Land of israel. you'll hear accusations by the hour, but
- 00:09:40.129 --> 00:09:43.633
- Not the part where the idf fights under a written moral
- 00:09:43.633 --> 00:09:46.469
- Code and broadcasts warnings to keep civilians out of the line
- 00:09:46.469 --> 00:09:50.506
- Of fire. you never hear about that. but while terror groups
- 00:09:50.506 --> 00:09:54.310
- Hide behind those same civilians and feed the cameras,
- 00:09:54.310 --> 00:09:57.747
- That's the playbook. human shields. above ground tunnels.
- 00:09:57.747 --> 00:10:02.885

- Best to report on what's been happening with the druze.
- 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:46.796
- You're talking about an even bigger picture, people. they
- 00:10:46.796 --> 00:10:49.499
- See this as yet another regional conflict to them. and
- 00:10:49.499 --> 00:10:52.301
- Yet we've been seeing firsthand here, which is every time

- 00:10:54.637 --> 00:10:57.340
- New leader, the first to suffer, the second to suffer, the third
- 00:10:57.340 --> 00:11:00.643
- To suffer are the minorities. first was the alawites. and we
- 00:11:00.643 --> 00:11:03.413
- Said, oh, it's because of this. then it was the christians,
- 00:11:03.413 --> 00:11:05.581
- Then it was the druze. it's always minorities that suffer
- 00:11:05.581 --> 00:11:08.685

- I led efforts between 2017 and 19 in the nineveh plains in

- 00:11:48.891 --> 00:11:53.496
- We still get smoke screened by politicians, including
- 00:11:53.496 --> 00:11:57.700
- Conservative. it's bizarre to me, but we're going to change
- 00:11:57.700 --> 00:12:00.403
- It. i'm going to do everything i can to change it.
- 00:12:00.403 --> 00:12:02.638
- >> you're in syria?
- 00:12:02.638 --> 00:12:03.773
- >> yeah.
- 00:12:03.773 --> 00:12:04.841
- >> and i think the big unknown here, like the x and the
- 00:12:04.941 --> 00:12:07.610
- Equation is why is it that this thing is happening and no one's
- 00:12:07.610 --> 00:12:10.580
- Talking about it? maybe it blipped on the headlines for a
- 00:12:10.580 --> 00:12:13.349
- Couple days, and oftentimes it said, and i remember this
- 00:12:13.349 --> 00:12:16.753
- Amusingly, it says israel attacks in syria. meanwhile,
- 00:12:16.753 --> 00:12:18.588
- There's literally an attempted genocide taking place in syria,
- 00:12:18.588 --> 00:12:21.491
- And no one's talking about it.
- 00:12:21.491 --> 00:12:23.626
- >> i'm not a politician. i don't have a network. i have no
- 00:12:23.626 --> 00:12:28.331
- Agenda to carry other than rescuing god's children. that's
- 00:12:28.331 --> 00:12:30.533
- It. that's it. because the lies hurting my efforts to
- 00:12:30.533 --> 00:12:34.604
- Rescue children. truth. truthfully, that's what's going
- 00:12:34.604 --> 00:12:36.472
- On. the same people who used to support me are hurting me. by
- 00:12:36.472 --> 00:12:40.510
- Lying. about what? the conflict in israel. what's happening is
- 00:12:40.510 --> 00:12:43.746
- Genocide. it's october 7th, but on steroids. there's 700,000
- 00:12:43.746 --> 00:12:50.219
- Jews and christians. these jews people are amazing. i've been
- 00:12:50.219 --> 00:12:53.122
- In their homes. i've been gathering intel, going to their
- 00:12:53.122 --> 00:12:56.659
- Villages, and they are from the lineage of jethro. jethro is a
- 00:12:56.659 --> 00:13:01.364
- Very important person in the old testament. jethro
- 00:13:01.364 --> 00:13:03.599
- Rehabilitated moses. jethro taught moses how to establish a
- 00:13:03.599 --> 00:13:08.271
- Government. it's all there. we could do it right. the founding
- 00:13:08.271 --> 00:13:11.674
- Fathers of america utilized more than any other source, the
- 00:13:11.674 --> 00:13:15.444
- Old testament to create one nation under god. we are
- 00:13:15.444 --> 00:13:18.314
- Connected in more ways than one to these people, and they're
- 00:13:18.314 --> 00:13:21.551
- The pretorian for the christians, the three christian
- 00:13:21.551 --> 00:13:23.486
- Villages in the last week that were just there were slammed,
- 00:13:23.486 --> 00:13:26.255
- Ripped apart, crosses burning. and who took them in, who took
- 00:13:26.255 --> 00:13:30.193
- Care of them? the druze people, under the tradn
- 00:13:30.193 --> 00:13:32.628
- Of their father, jethro, they took them in. so we
- 00:13:32.628 --> 00:13:35.331
- All are connected to this in multiple ways. and it's
- 00:13:35.331 --> 00:13:39.535
- Genocide. it's an evil ideology that teaches them
- 00:13:39.535 --> 00:13:42.605
- To kill the infidels. christians and druze and jews
- 00:13:42.605 --> 00:13:47.376
- Are infidels, and that's what they're doing. it's there's
- 00:13:47.376 --> 00:13:50.379
- Only one thing we got to kill them because god will be happy
- 00:13:50.379 --> 00:13:53.316
- And give us, you know, 42 virgins in heaven if we do it.
- 00:13:53.316 --> 00:13:56.219
- That's what this is. it's that it's that stark and it's that
- 00:13:56.219 --> 00:13:59.555
- Evil. these are peaceful villages. they don't. they
- 00:13:59.555 --> 00:14:02.525
- Support the governments. they want to participate with
- 00:14:02.525 --> 00:14:05.628
- Damascus, just like they participate here. i mean, i
- 00:14:05.628 --> 00:14:08.364
- Can't tell you how many druze soldiers i met who work in and
- 00:14:08.364 --> 00:14:12.401
- Proudly with their brothers in the idf. i mean, it's it's just
- 00:14:12.401 --> 00:14:16.172
- Unbelievable.
- 00:14:16.172 --> 00:14:17.306
- >> you present this question mark saying, look, people
- 00:14:17.306 --> 00:14:19.275
- Around the world are quiet about what's been happening in
- 00:14:19.275 --> 00:14:22.345
- Syria. and i'll say this, i look at this from someone who
- 00:14:22.345 --> 00:14:25.848
- Lives in the middle east. and i look at it and i say, there's
- 00:14:25.848 --> 00:14:29.585
- There's a systematic, intentional ignorance of what's
- 00:14:29.585 --> 00:14:31.387
- Happening here, where unless it's a topic that clicks
- 00:14:31.387 --> 00:14:34.190
- Exactly into place, where they can say, oh, i know this one.
- 00:14:34.190 --> 00:14:36.993
- I'm for israel, i'm against israel. it just never hits the
- 00:14:36.993 --> 00:14:40.196
- Radar for anyone. and it happened in iraq. it happened
- 00:14:40.196 --> 00:14:42.665
- With isis, it happened with the arab spring. and you look at
- 00:14:42.665 --> 00:14:46.135
- This like these people declare themselves to be like the
- 00:14:46.135 --> 00:14:48.337
- Beacons of justice and hope around the world, and yet
- 00:14:48.337 --> 00:14:51.040
- They're silent every time something goes wrong. just last
- 00:14:51.040 --> 00:14:53.376
- Month, the us pulls out a government, you know, so
- 00:14:53.376 --> 00:14:58.281
- Al-julani, depending on the day of the week, whatever his name
- 00:14:58.281 --> 00:15:01.250
- Is, they pull him out of like the most wanted list and say,
- 00:15:01.250 --> 00:15:04.553
- Look, this guy's reformed. he's no longer the arch terrorist
- 00:15:04.553 --> 00:15:07.290
- That he was a couple years ago. the fight alongside isis and
- 00:15:07.290 --> 00:15:10.159
- Bab al shabab and all these different organizations. now
- 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:12.628
- He's a different guy. he's wearing a suit now. he speaks
- 00:15:12.628 --> 00:15:15.331
- Nicely. he's the same guy he was before, but they choose to
- 00:15:15.331 --> 00:15:18.401
- Ignore what he's actually doing and follow the rhetoric because
- 00:15:18.401 --> 00:15:20.569
- For some reason it's more comfortable for them. i don't
- 00:15:20.569 --> 00:15:23.572
- Know, to explain it. maybe you have a better explanation to
- 00:15:23.572 --> 00:15:25.975
- That.
- 00:15:25.975 --> 00:15:27.043
- >> well, the only way i can explain it is you can say
- 00:15:27.143 --> 00:15:29.345
- What you want, but the action is what tells me who
- 00:15:29.345 --> 00:15:32.081
- You are, and he's letting this happen. if he didn't
- 00:15:32.081 --> 00:15:34.483
- Do it himself, he's letting it happen. we're screaming
- 00:15:34.483 --> 00:15:37.053
- To him to stop it, help it. we can get provisions and the idf
- 00:15:37.053 --> 00:15:40.089
- Is ready to go. but the roads are blockaded right now. people
- 00:15:40.089 --> 00:15:43.326
- Are dying right now as we as we're talking. and so, look, i
- 00:15:43.326 --> 00:15:46.228
- Don't care what you're wearing. i don't care what your past was
- 00:15:46.228 --> 00:15:49.532
- If you're reformed or not. show me. just show me right
- 00:15:49.532 --> 00:15:52.335
- Now. you can do it right now and show me.
- 00:15:52.335 --> 00:15:55.404
- >> so what can people do? someone sitting at their
- 00:15:55.404 --> 00:15:57.073
- House in canada, north america, philippines, wherever
- 00:15:57.073 --> 00:15:59.508
- They are.
- 00:15:59.508 --> 00:16:00.609
- >> first and foremost, educate yourself. yeah, i'm doing
- 00:16:00.710 --> 00:16:01.978
- Everything i can to my social media and we're putting all the
- 00:16:01.978 --> 00:16:05.147
- Raw footage. luckily, we're not being censored, thank god,
- 00:16:05.147 --> 00:16:07.083
- Because we need to show people what's happening. but people
- 00:16:07.083 --> 00:16:09.518
- Can also donate to us. the tim ballard foundation. we
- 00:16:09.518 --> 00:16:12.021
- Literally stood up this foundation just for this. we
- 00:16:12.021 --> 00:16:14.590
- Weren't planning on doing it. we just stood it up because
- 00:16:14.590 --> 00:16:17.793
- We're like, we need help right now. but i'll tell you what, i
- 00:16:17.793 --> 00:16:25.034
- Thought we were the tip of the spear when we got here last
- 00:16:25.034 --> 00:16:28.337
- Week, getting into syria. once we got there, guess who we
- 00:16:28.337 --> 00:16:31.440
- Bumped into? it's the idf. yes. no cameras. they don't know
- 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:35.011
- What i'm going to be their voice because they're not.
- 00:16:35.011 --> 00:16:37.747
- They're out there forward deployed. they don't care.
- 00:16:37.747 --> 00:16:39.915
- Christian druze. there's no jews out there. they're out
- 00:16:39.915 --> 00:16:42.318
- There because it's the right thing to do. because they love
- 00:16:42.318 --> 00:16:45.254
- God and they love their neighbor. and they're literally
- 00:16:45.254 --> 00:16:47.923
- Bringing in christians and druze and and saving their
- 00:16:47.923 --> 00:16:50.693
- Lives. i watched them do it, and they're weeping over these
- 00:16:50.693 --> 00:16:54.063
- People. that's who the idf is. that's who israel is. yeah. and
- 00:16:54.063 --> 00:16:58.034
- I again, i have no one asked me to say this. no one's paying me
- 00:16:58.034 --> 00:17:02.271
- Anything. i rescue kids and whatever truth i need to fill
- 00:17:02.271 --> 00:17:05.708
- That gap so i can do that. i'm going to tell it. and
- 00:17:05.708 --> 00:17:09.345
- That's the truth. the truth is, the idf is the tip of
- 00:17:09.345 --> 00:17:12.181
- The spear in rescuing these people, and they're doing
- 00:17:12.181 --> 00:17:14.183
- It without cameras. well, i got cameras on me, and i'm
- 00:17:14.183 --> 00:17:17.153
- Going to tell the truth about what's happening.
- 00:17:17.153 --> 00:17:19.522
- >> so let me ask you a philosophical question. i
- 00:17:19.522 --> 00:17:22.124
- Feel sometimes people are uncomfortable admitting
- 00:17:22.124 --> 00:17:23.659
- That there's evil in the world. and i'll explain
- 00:17:23.659 --> 00:17:25.261
- What that means. there's a thread that connects the
- 00:17:25.261 --> 00:17:27.863
- Radical muslims in syria right now that are killing
- 00:17:27.863 --> 00:17:30.499
- The jews and the christians the alawites to isis,
- 00:17:30.499 --> 00:17:32.401
- To gaza, hamas. it's the sam to gaza, hamas. it's the sae
- 00:17:32.401 --> 00:17:35.004
- To gaza, hamas. it's the sae ideological movement. it's
- 00:17:35.004 --> 00:17:36.172
- Called the muslim brotherhood. it's a stream within sunni
- 00:17:36.172 --> 00:17:39.575
- Islam that is radical, that is violent, that is systemically
- 00:17:39.575 --> 00:17:43.412
- And consistently brought death and destruction to the
- 00:17:43.412 --> 00:17:46.115
- Countries they were involved in. and i think in a lot of
- 00:17:46.115 --> 00:17:49.085
- People's head, they have this aversion to just pointing and
- 00:17:49.085 --> 00:17:51.053
- Saying, there's good here, and these guys are just pure evil,
- 00:17:51.053 --> 00:17:54.290
- And we need to fight against the evil with everything we
- 00:17:54.290 --> 00:17:56.959
- Have. and it's like this, like very standoffish, like, oh, we
- 00:17:56.959 --> 00:17:59.929
- Don't want to say something that will offend them. why
- 00:17:59.929 --> 00:18:02.131
- Can't you just be honest about it?
- 00:18:02.131 --> 00:18:04.066
- >> be honest. just be honest. it is that stark. it is
- 00:18:04.066 --> 00:18:07.069
- That black and white, evil and good. that's what this
- 00:18:07.069 --> 00:18:09.071
- War it really is. and 100% is. and you mentioned the
- 00:18:09.071 --> 00:18:12.308
- Muslim brotherhood. like, guys wake up like this
- 00:18:12.308 --> 00:18:14.043
- Whole thing. people in their minds think that the
- 00:18:14.043 --> 00:18:16.645
- Palestinians are some kind of race, like it's some kind of
- 00:18:16.645 --> 00:18:19.081
- Ethnic group. no, guys. yasser arafat, he was imported by the
- 00:18:19.081 --> 00:18:22.952
- Muslim brotherhood and create a nation concept that's tricking
- 00:18:22.952 --> 00:18:26.088
- The west just to wreak havoc and kill jews and minorities.
- 00:18:26.088 --> 00:18:30.092
- The devil's reohm. i'm sorry, i know i've been in the
- 00:18:30.092 --> 00:18:34.730
- Trenches fighting the rape of children. believe me,
- 00:18:34.730 --> 00:18:37.500
- That's a spiritual warfare. and evil always uses
- 00:18:37.500 --> 00:18:40.903
- Deception. that's what the devil uses. and my country
- 00:18:40.903 --> 00:18:44.840
- And the west is falling for the smokescreen. it's part
- 00:18:44.840 --> 00:18:47.343
- Of the evil tactic. it's deception. people gotta
- 00:18:47.343 --> 00:18:50.112
- Wake up. study. i tell people, if you don't spend
- 00:18:50.112 --> 00:18:53.115
- At least 25 hours studying real material on both sides,
- 00:18:53.115 --> 00:18:56.185
- Study both sides and then get your butts to israel and
- 00:18:56.185 --> 00:18:59.088
- Let someone walk you into gaza. let someone walk you to the
- 00:18:59.088 --> 00:19:01.991
- Border of syria. then you can begin to talk. don't even talk.
- 00:19:01.991 --> 00:19:06.061
- Don't even talk because you're hurting my efforts to rescue
- 00:19:06.061 --> 00:19:08.030
- Kids. you're hurting the us efforts to survive if you keep
- 00:19:08.030 --> 00:19:12.268
- Lying.
- 00:19:12.268 --> 00:19:16.839
- >> how can an ideology that claims to be godly practice
- 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:21.310
- Such violence and such evil? and yet thousands of westerners
- 00:19:21.310 --> 00:19:25.848
- Flood the streets, insisting israel is the problem. israel,
- 00:19:25.848 --> 00:19:29.985
- A democracy with equal rights for all, cares for the
- 00:19:29.985 --> 00:19:33.789
- Vulnerable in society, both theirs and around the world. it
- 00:19:33.789 --> 00:19:38.093
- Fights to defend life while its enemies glorify death. it is
- 00:19:38.093 --> 00:19:43.065
- Time for people to wake up and educate themselves on the truth.
- 00:19:43.065 --> 00:19:50.639
- Just to give you a tidbit of my personal story, i spent, i want
- 00:19:50.639 --> 00:19:55.244
- To say, going on like 340 days in reserve since october 7th,
- 00:19:55.244 --> 00:19:57.980
- 2023. i have three kids. very, very rough time for the family.
- 00:19:57.980 --> 00:20:02.051
- But in that time, people, you know, they keep asking, oh, i
- 00:20:02.051 --> 00:20:04.920
- Bet it's such a rough time. such a rough time. no, it's
- 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:08.123
- Been the most clarifying season of my life for once. you know,
- 00:20:08.123 --> 00:20:11.026
- This happens once in a lifetime. you're sucked out of everyday
- 00:20:11.026 --> 00:20:13.896
- Life. you're. i'm not, you know, in management, not in
- 00:20:13.896 --> 00:20:16.899
- Leadership of other people. i'm leading my soldiers in the
- 00:20:16.899 --> 00:20:18.934
- Battlefield. and in that time, we know exactly who the enemy
- 00:20:18.934 --> 00:20:22.104
- Is. we know exactly what we're fighting for. and that was
- 00:20:22.104 --> 00:20:25.040
- Vague before october 7th, 2023. you know, we lost touch of like,
- 00:20:25.040 --> 00:20:28.877
- What good was what evil was. people in israel were very like
- 00:20:28.877 --> 00:20:32.281
- In this humanistic and, you know, almost materialistic
- 00:20:32.281 --> 00:20:34.016
- Mindset. and, you know, it got snapped out of us like, wake up
- 00:20:34.016 --> 00:20:37.186
- Guys, remember where you are. and remember that you have to
- 00:20:37.186 --> 00:20:40.122
- Fight for the promise. we realized that we're in a
- 00:20:40.122 --> 00:20:43.325
- Biblical battle once more, that there the amalekites. not in
- 00:20:43.325 --> 00:20:45.794
- The sense just of biblical hatred, in the sense that we're
- 00:20:45.794 --> 00:20:49.098
- Fighting against people that have been corrupted by evil.
- 00:20:49.098 --> 00:20:51.734
- And we have to fight for what god gave us. we're here because
- 00:20:51.734 --> 00:20:55.204
- God put us here. and that moment is, you know, that
- 00:20:55.204 --> 00:20:58.274
- Doesn't come twice in a lifetime. i hope you know, it's
- 00:20:58.274 --> 00:21:00.342
- Just a really clarifying, really, you know, cleansing
- 00:21:00.342 --> 00:21:03.779
- Moment of, of, of focus as a nation. i hope to your point
- 00:21:03.779 --> 00:21:08.751
- That other nations don't have to experience that firsthand,
- 00:21:08.751 --> 00:21:12.087
- Because if you don't see that, if they're not able to look at
- 00:21:12.087 --> 00:21:15.858
- What's happening here, if they can't say this is evil and this
- 00:21:15.858 --> 00:21:19.128
- Is good, it ends up at their doorstep, it ends up in their
- 00:21:19.128 --> 00:21:22.131
- Kids being assaulted. it ends up at their countries being
- 00:21:22.131 --> 00:21:24.166
- Stolen and taken over by radicals. there's no end to it.
- 00:21:24.166 --> 00:21:26.835
- >> that's right. i'm using sound of freedom i have not.
- 00:21:26.835 --> 00:21:30.039
- >> talked about. i apologize.
- 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:31.206
- >> it's okay. i'm gonna walk off the set now. okay.
- 00:21:31.206 --> 00:21:33.742
- >> but i understand that it's fair.
- 00:21:33.742 --> 00:21:36.045
- >> i'll watch it. but there's a there's a line in the sand of
- 00:21:36.045 --> 00:21:38.981
- Freedom. and jim caviezel plays me in the film. right. and and
- 00:21:38.981 --> 00:21:41.850
- He's trying to convince someone of this very thing you're
- 00:21:41.850 --> 00:21:44.953
- Saying. he's like, wake up now, wake up now. and then he says,
- 00:21:44.953 --> 00:21:47.956
- And if you don't, you will have a nightmare so devastating. and
- 00:21:47.956 --> 00:21:50.859
- It's a nightmare you'll never wake up from when it happens to
- 00:21:50.859 --> 00:21:53.662
- You and it's coming. and i issue that same advisement to
- 00:21:53.662 --> 00:21:57.132
- The west and to america in particular. it's coming. it
- 00:21:57.132 --> 00:21:59.935
- Will be a nightmare you will not wake up from. you better
- 00:21:59.935 --> 00:22:02.805
- Wake up now. and we don't have a lot of time.
- 00:22:02.805 --> 00:22:05.974
- >> you've traveled a lot more than i have around the world.
- 00:22:05.974 --> 00:22:09.244
- Have you ever met a muslim or any religious person who comes
- 00:22:09.244 --> 00:22:13.148
- To faith in christ and hates the jewish people?
- 00:22:13.148 --> 00:22:15.584
- >> zero.
- 00:22:15.584 --> 00:22:15.984
- >> exactly.
- 00:22:15.984 --> 00:22:16.819
- >> it's impossible.
- 00:22:16.819 --> 00:22:17.920
- >> there's a solution. and it sounds like this like
- 00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:20.456
- Philosophical and spiritual solution. oh, it's all, you
- 00:22:20.456 --> 00:22:22.791
- Know, at the cross. all you know it is. i've met iranians
- 00:22:22.791 --> 00:22:25.828
- Who've come to faith. they love israel. i've met muslims who
- 00:22:25.828 --> 00:22:28.864
- Are terrorists. they've come to faith. they love israel and
- 00:22:28.864 --> 00:22:30.833
- Never met a single of them comes to faith, denies islam or
- 00:22:30.833 --> 00:22:34.970
- Whatever religion he's coming from, opens the bible and says,
- 00:22:34.970 --> 00:22:37.039
- Nah, i hate the jewish people. it's always the opposite. a
- 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:40.709
- Supernatural love to the jewish people and the land of israel,
- 00:22:40.709 --> 00:22:43.612
- And a supernatural love across the board. that's really the
- 00:22:43.612 --> 00:22:46.382
- Only solution. you know, if i take this to a place of of
- 00:22:46.382 --> 00:22:49.785
- Optimism versus, you know, just feeling down from this whole
- 00:22:49.785 --> 00:22:52.221
- Conversation, you know, and feeling pain for all the
- 00:22:52.221 --> 00:22:55.157
- Suffering that's in the world, it's all people say, well, what
- 00:22:55.157 --> 00:22:57.926
- Can i do? pray, pray.
- 00:22:57.926 --> 00:22:59.661
- >> this is why i live as much as i can in this spiritual
- 00:22:59.661 --> 00:23:03.198
- Realm, because we know how the game ends. yeah, i know how the
- 00:23:03.198 --> 00:23:06.034
- Game ends, right? i know the good, the good wins in the end.
- 00:23:06.034 --> 00:23:09.738
- I know what happens at the end. and what we need to do is our
- 00:23:09.738 --> 00:23:12.841
- Best to bring that light and that righteousness until the
- 00:23:12.841 --> 00:23:16.945
- Messiah comes. and when he comes, we win. but we have to
- 00:23:16.945 --> 00:23:19.848
- Do all we can in the meantime, and we're going to be beat up.
- 00:23:19.848 --> 00:23:23.919
- We just keep going and keep going and get as many as we can
- 00:23:23.919 --> 00:23:27.189
- To prepare for that. that, that beautiful day that will come.
- 00:23:27.189 --> 00:23:30.159
- And that's where i get my ho
- 00:23:30.159 --> 00:23:33.796
- >> while extremist jihadist movements have sunk roots not
- 00:23:33.796 --> 00:23:36.865
- Only in the middle east, but across north africa and beyond,
- 00:23:36.865 --> 00:23:40.636
- And their reach is testing to see if the free world's courage
- 00:23:40.636 --> 00:23:43.772
- Still exists. our traditions of liberty, of conscience and of
- 00:23:43.772 --> 00:23:48.544
- Equal dignity are all at risk. children are being stolen and
- 00:23:48.544 --> 00:23:53.115
- Scarred, women are being oppressed, and minorities are
- 00:23:53.115 --> 00:23:55.784
- Driven from their homes. so what will it take for the world
- 00:23:55.784 --> 00:23:59.822
- To wake up? must the violence reach your own doorstep? i want
- 00:23:59.822 --> 00:24:03.659
- You to remember that there is a god, and israel is at the
- 00:24:03.659 --> 00:24:08.030
- Center of it all. fighting this evil for the most part, alone.
- 00:24:08.030 --> 00:24:11.700
- So are courageous christians, the likes of tim ballard, where
- 00:24:11.700 --> 00:24:14.636
- Saving lives and bringing the truth to light. don't look away.
- 00:24:14.636 --> 00:24:18.874
- Share what you know. stand with israel in its fight against
- 00:24:18.874 --> 00:24:22.911
- Evil. stand with the vulnerable. stand with the oppressed. we
- 00:24:22.911 --> 00:24:26.482
- Are living in very dangerous times. but guys, god will
- 00:24:26.482 --> 00:24:31.520
- Prevail.
- 00:24:31.520 --> 00:24:41.663
- >> thank you very much, marty. that was an amazing interview
- 00:24:42.865 --> 00:24:46.668
- About a very difficult topic. now, one second before we pray
- 00:24:46.668 --> 00:24:50.873
- Together, we will go to a short commercial break, after which
- 00:24:50.873 --> 00:24:54.943
- We will return and pray for the peace of jerusalem. so don't
- 00:24:54.943 --> 00:24:59.915
- Miss it. a work zone in the gaza strip. being under fire by
- 00:24:59.915 --> 00:25:09.258
- Hamas terrorists. you don't have time to sit and drink your
- 00:25:09.258 --> 00:25:12.394
- Coffee and wake up in the morning and get ready for the
- 00:25:12.394 --> 00:25:15.631
- Day and prepare. so sometimes i woke up at two in the morning
- 00:25:15.631 --> 00:25:18.767
- After an hour and a half of sleep, and you need to wake up
- 00:25:18.767 --> 00:25:23.906
- Immediately and do your job and do it to perfection. or people
- 00:25:23.906 --> 00:25:27.876
- Die.
- 00:25:27.876 --> 00:25:29.044
- >> you literally have your life on the line. you don't know
- 00:25:29.144 --> 00:25:31.713
- What corner you turn and somebody got a gun pointed at
- 00:25:31.713 --> 00:25:37.152
- You.
- 00:25:37.152 --> 00:25:38.353
- >> so in order to wake up, i just took a pill and i really
- 00:25:38.353 --> 00:25:42.891
- Felt the energy levels go up faster. the clarity of mind
- 00:25:42.891 --> 00:25:46.929
- That doesn't usually happen immediately when you wake up in
- 00:25:46.929 --> 00:25:49.364
- The morning. and i don't remember taking much stuff with
- 00:25:49.364 --> 00:25:52.801
- Me into the gaza strip. had my sleeping bag, a flashlight, and
- 00:25:52.801 --> 00:25:57.306
- A vineyard bottle. so that's what i had with me.
- 00:25:57.306 --> 00:26:00.542
- >> you're a young person. you're very healthy, but you
- 00:26:00.542 --> 00:26:03.812
- Still think that vinea was helpful to get you to even a
- 00:26:03.812 --> 00:26:06.481
- Higher level of performance.
- 00:26:06.481 --> 00:26:08.717
- >> it's helping me to exceed my normal abilities. so let's say,
- 00:26:08.717 --> 00:26:12.688
- You know, i'm at 100%. and that puts me at 120. with raising
- 00:26:12.688 --> 00:26:17.459
- Three kids, you need to be sharp to make the right
- 00:26:17.459 --> 00:26:20.762
- Decisions.
- 00:26:20.762 --> 00:26:21.663
- >> raising three kids may be equal to combat.
- 00:26:21.763 --> 00:26:24.666
- >> a lot harder, a lot harder. listen, i'm still taking every
- 00:26:24.666 --> 00:26:27.769
- Day because i want to be there with my kids when they grow old.
- 00:26:27.769 --> 00:26:31.573
- I want to be able to dance at their wedding and carry my kids
- 00:26:31.573 --> 00:26:35.377
- And my grandkids for years to come. and this is the time to
- 00:26:35.377 --> 00:26:38.313
- Start. i mean, when you're young.
- 00:26:38.313 --> 00:26:43.997
- Start. i mean, when you're young.
- 00:26:43.997 --> 00:26:46.795

- Guys, remember this is a spiritual war. there is no
- 00:27:07.015 --> 00:27:11.487
- Other reason in the world for all these countries to hate
- 00:27:11.487 --> 00:27:14.389
- Israel and the jewish people so much. israel is a living symbol
- 00:27:14.389 --> 00:27:20.362
- That god is performing unimaginable miracles in modern
- 00:27:20.362 --> 00:27:25.434
- Day, that god is faithful to his promises to the people of
- 00:27:25.434 --> 00:27:29.538
- Israel. in biblical days, thousands of years ago. and
- 00:27:29.538 --> 00:27:33.809
- He's faithful to his promises to you, to me, to all of us.
- 00:27:33.809 --> 00:27:37.412
- The enemy cannot stand that. so that's why it is trying to
- 00:27:37.412 --> 00:27:41.283
- Attack the jewish state. but we won't let that hap let's
- 00:27:41.283 --> 00:27:46.288
- Unite in prayer. let's pray for wisdom to our leaders. let's
- 00:27:46.288 --> 00:27:50.325
- Pray for the idf soldiers that are preparing to enter gaza
- 00:27:50.325 --> 00:27:53.529
- City. it's very dangerous. let's pray for all the innocent
- 00:27:53.529 --> 00:27:58.500
- Lives that are affected by these terrorist regimes. and
- 00:27:58.500 --> 00:28:01.804
- Let's keep praying for the peace of jerusalem.
- 00:28:01.804 --> 00:28:01.804
