TBN Israel's Yair Pinto reports on the Israel-Hamas and regional war. With Iran closing its airspace and U.S. forces on the move, the Middle East is teetering on the edge of a multi-front war. Hezbollah is threatening civil conflict in Lebanon, the Houthis are on high alert, and Gaza hangs in fragile balance as new political frameworks emerge. Meanwhile, mass protests inside Iran shake the regime to its core, and the world watches closely for what could trigger a regional shift overnight.

Boots on the Ground | U.S. Warship Mobilized, Iran Closes Airspace; Hezbollah Threatens Civil War | Boots on the Ground | January 15, 2026
- Another night of massive protests
- 00:00:07.787 --> 00:00:10.090
- In iran's capital, tehran,
- 00:00:10.090 --> 00:00:11.791
- Against the islamic revolutionary guards corps.
- 00:00:11.791 --> 00:00:14.627
- With a million people in the burning streets
- 00:00:14.627 --> 00:00:18.131
- And the regime is pulling the trigger
- 00:00:18.131 --> 00:00:20.733
- To try and push them back
- 00:00:20.733 --> 00:00:22.535
- While the world is starting to focus on one question:
- 00:00:22.535 --> 00:00:27.340
- Is this just another wave of protests that will fade,
- 00:00:27.340 --> 00:00:31.111
- Or a moment that could reshape the entire middle east?
- 00:00:31.111 --> 00:00:35.315
- President trump issued an unusual threat
- 00:00:35.315 --> 00:00:37.650
- Against the revolutionary guards this week,
- 00:00:37.650 --> 00:00:39.786
- Tweeting: "they're in big trouble, help is on the way."
- 00:00:39.786 --> 00:00:44.424
- Immediately after that post, israel raised the alert levels
- 00:00:44.424 --> 00:00:47.794
- Across multiple arenas.
- 00:00:47.794 --> 00:00:49.863
- In the defense establishment, they are preparing
- 00:00:49.863 --> 00:00:52.165
- For scenarios of proxy retaliation
- 00:00:52.165 --> 00:00:55.635
- And also for the possibility of an american move,
- 00:00:55.635 --> 00:00:58.905
- Including the movement of heavy forces into the region
- 00:00:58.905 --> 00:01:02.375
- That includes aircraft carriers and also strategic bombers.
- 00:01:02.375 --> 00:01:07.113
- So welcome to boots on the ground.
- 00:01:07.113 --> 00:01:08.915
- I'm your host, yair pinto, bringing you the whole truth
- 00:01:08.915 --> 00:01:11.885
- About what's happening in israel.
- 00:01:11.885 --> 00:01:15.088
- Overnight in tehran, the protests continued with force.
- 00:01:15.088 --> 00:01:18.925
- An iranian human rights organization
- 00:01:18.925 --> 00:01:20.727
- Reported 16,784 detainees so far,
- 00:01:20.727 --> 00:01:25.431
- While israeli intelligence assessments
- 00:01:25.431 --> 00:01:27.100
- Are that the number of fatalities
- 00:01:27.100 --> 00:01:29.502
- Has already crossed into the thousands,
- 00:01:29.502 --> 00:01:31.738
- Including regime personnel harmed in clashes
- 00:01:31.738 --> 00:01:34.707
- As some of the protesters are no longer arriving empty handed.
- 00:01:34.707 --> 00:01:39.779
- And as the rial collapses and iran's economy breaks,
- 00:01:39.779 --> 00:01:43.783
- President trump is also applying economic pressure,
- 00:01:43.783 --> 00:01:46.786
- Including a 25 percent tariff
- 00:01:46.786 --> 00:01:49.556
- On any country that continues to do business with iran.
- 00:01:49.556 --> 00:01:53.526
- This move is aimed, amongst other things,
- 00:01:53.526 --> 00:01:56.296
- Against china, against turkey
- 00:01:56.296 --> 00:01:58.264
- And against the united arab emirates.
- 00:01:58.264 --> 00:02:00.567
- And at the same time, many countries
- 00:02:00.567 --> 00:02:02.969
- Are calling on their citizens to leave iran.
- 00:02:02.969 --> 00:02:06.306
- And donald trump also said it's a good idea
- 00:02:06.306 --> 00:02:09.209
- That americans leave.
- 00:02:09.209 --> 00:02:10.810
- And when asked what he meant by saying help is on the way,
- 00:02:10.810 --> 00:02:14.013
- He answered: "you'll find out soon."
- 00:02:14.013 --> 00:02:17.517
- The assessment is that president trump has decided to intervene,
- 00:02:17.517 --> 00:02:21.020
- But the timing and the scope of the move are still unclear.
- 00:02:21.020 --> 00:02:24.857
- And there are also those pressing washington
- 00:02:24.857 --> 00:02:27.093
- To avoid direct strike.
- 00:02:27.093 --> 00:02:29.262
- The idf home front states that at this stage
- 00:02:29.262 --> 00:02:32.332
- There is no change in the guidelines.
- 00:02:32.332 --> 00:02:34.367
- But the air force, the military intelligence
- 00:02:34.367 --> 00:02:36.302
- And the northern command are on high alert
- 00:02:36.302 --> 00:02:39.172
- With close coordination with united states command.
- 00:02:39.172 --> 00:02:42.475
- The big question is not only will iran be attacked,
- 00:02:42.475 --> 00:02:45.411
- But when and what the day after will look like.
- 00:02:45.411 --> 00:02:49.349
- Tbn israel's senior middle east analyst, mati shoshani,
- 00:02:49.349 --> 00:02:52.485
- Will bring us all the possible scenarios
- 00:02:52.485 --> 00:02:54.954
- For the near future regarding iran
- 00:02:54.954 --> 00:02:57.357
- And what it means for israel, for the proxies,
- 00:02:57.357 --> 00:03:00.260
- And for the chance of a regional escalation.
- 00:03:00.260 --> 00:03:03.196
- And meanwhile, in the gaza strip,
- 00:03:03.196 --> 00:03:05.231
- Hamas is beginning a covert process to choose new leadership
- 00:03:05.231 --> 00:03:09.702
- Amidst power struggles in qatar
- 00:03:09.702 --> 00:03:12.005
- In an attempt to stabilize the organization
- 00:03:12.005 --> 00:03:14.807
- As israel holds broad parts of the gaza strip
- 00:03:14.807 --> 00:03:17.810
- And the american ceasefire framework demands disarmament.
- 00:03:17.810 --> 00:03:21.914
- And in lebanon, a storm is brewing,
- 00:03:21.914 --> 00:03:24.684
- As the lebanese foreign minister says publicly
- 00:03:24.684 --> 00:03:27.220
- That hezbollah's weapons do not protect the country,
- 00:03:27.220 --> 00:03:30.256
- But rather enable israel to strike
- 00:03:30.256 --> 00:03:32.792
- Under the ceasefire agreement,
- 00:03:32.792 --> 00:03:34.594
- While at the same time hezbollah publishes a statement
- 00:03:34.594 --> 00:03:38.364
- Of support for the protests in favor of the regime in tehran
- 00:03:38.364 --> 00:03:43.369
- And accuses the west of trying to destabilize iran.
- 00:03:43.369 --> 00:03:47.407
- So we have a lot to talk about today.
- 00:03:47.407 --> 00:03:49.709
- So let's dive into the details.
- 00:03:49.709 --> 00:03:51.644
- I'm yair pinto, and with me today is mati shoshani,
- 00:03:51.644 --> 00:03:55.381
- And this is your boots on the ground report,
- 00:03:55.381 --> 00:03:57.450
- Bringing you the whole truth about what's happening in israel
- 00:03:57.450 --> 00:04:00.286
- On day 830 of the war against hamas, hezbollah,
- 00:04:00.286 --> 00:04:04.057
- The houthis in yemen, the shia militias in iraq,
- 00:04:04.057 --> 00:04:06.726
- And all the other terrorist organizations
- 00:04:06.726 --> 00:04:08.328
- In judea and samaria who are taking their orders
- 00:04:08.328 --> 00:04:11.297
- From iran's revolutionary guards corps,
- 00:04:11.297 --> 00:04:13.566
- Which is the head of the crumbling axis of evil
- 00:04:13.566 --> 00:04:16.069
- In the middle east.
- 00:04:16.069 --> 00:04:17.236
- And just a moment before we begin,
- 00:04:17.236 --> 00:04:19.005
- I want to call on you to keep spreading the truth,
- 00:04:19.005 --> 00:04:22.775
- Day after day. thanks to you,
- 00:04:22.775 --> 00:04:24.811
- We hope to reach millions of people across the world
- 00:04:24.811 --> 00:04:28.047
- With what's happening in this region.
- 00:04:28.047 --> 00:04:30.116
- So if you want to help us,
- 00:04:30.116 --> 00:04:31.784
- Make sure to look for tbn israel
- 00:04:31.784 --> 00:04:33.686
- On youtube, where we post daily
- 00:04:33.686 --> 00:04:35.755
- Boots on the ground reports.
- 00:04:35.755 --> 00:04:37.724
- So hit the subscribe button, share the videos,
- 00:04:37.724 --> 00:04:41.060
- And pray for the situation.
- 00:04:41.060 --> 00:04:43.062
- And now we'll go
- 00:04:43.062 --> 00:04:44.197
- To a short commercial break,
- 00:04:44.197 --> 00:04:45.765
- After which we will return to you
- 00:04:45.765 --> 00:04:47.934
- With tbn israel's senior middle east analyst, mati shoshani.
- 00:04:47.934 --> 00:04:55.994
- With tbn israel's senior middle east analyst, mati shoshani.
- 00:04:55.994 --> 00:05:01.273
- And now we'll move
- 00:05:01.707 --> 00:05:02.841
- To tbn israel's senior middle east analyst
- 00:05:02.841 --> 00:05:06.011
- Mati shoshani,
- 00:05:06.011 --> 00:05:07.179
- Who will give us all the details
- 00:05:07.179 --> 00:05:08.814
- About the visit of syria's president to the united states
- 00:05:08.814 --> 00:05:12.684
- And why it is significant for israel far more than it seems.
- 00:05:12.684 --> 00:05:16.889
- Over to you, mati.
- 00:05:16.889 --> 00:05:18.490
- Right now in israel, the mood is simple -
- 00:05:18.490 --> 00:05:20.792
- High anxiety, low certainty
- 00:05:20.792 --> 00:05:23.161
- And that combination is incredibly dangerous.
- 00:05:23.161 --> 00:05:26.231
- We're hearing very strong signals from washington.
- 00:05:26.231 --> 00:05:29.701
- We're hearing loud threats from tehran,
- 00:05:29.701 --> 00:05:31.870
- And we're watching protests inside iran,
- 00:05:31.870 --> 00:05:34.473
- With the regime trying to shut the country's voice down
- 00:05:34.473 --> 00:05:37.576
- By cutting out all communication.
- 00:05:37.576 --> 00:05:40.212
- But here's the key point: behind the headlines,
- 00:05:40.212 --> 00:05:42.981
- The professional picture is more cautious.
- 00:05:42.981 --> 00:05:45.951
- There are no clear signs right now
- 00:05:45.951 --> 00:05:47.786
- That iran is preparing to strike israel immediately
- 00:05:47.786 --> 00:05:50.322
- And israel is not sitting inside a confirmed american plan.
- 00:05:50.322 --> 00:05:53.692
- If a us move comes,
- 00:05:53.692 --> 00:05:55.227
- The expectation is israel will be updated
- 00:05:55.227 --> 00:05:57.496
- Close to the moment of the attack.
- 00:05:57.496 --> 00:06:00.032
- So tonight we're not doing panic, we're doing reality.
- 00:06:00.032 --> 00:06:03.402
- What's likely, what is possible
- 00:06:03.402 --> 00:06:05.704
- And what could change in a single hour?
- 00:06:05.704 --> 00:06:08.006
- Because with president trump it can flip very, very fast.
- 00:06:08.006 --> 00:06:12.511
- So let's dive into everything that's happening
- 00:06:12.511 --> 00:06:14.646
- In the middle east when it relates to iran
- 00:06:14.646 --> 00:06:17.282
- And the imminent overthrow of the government,
- 00:06:17.282 --> 00:06:19.484
- God willing, in that country, and what it means for israel
- 00:06:19.484 --> 00:06:22.721
- And what it means for the middle east.
- 00:06:22.721 --> 00:06:24.890
- We'll start with the biggest headline -
- 00:06:24.890 --> 00:06:26.525
- Is the us going to attack in iran?
- 00:06:26.525 --> 00:06:29.828
- And that question rises up
- 00:06:29.828 --> 00:06:30.963
- Because president trump has tweeted several times,
- 00:06:30.963 --> 00:06:34.266
- Has said publicly, marco rubio, secretary of state,
- 00:06:34.266 --> 00:06:37.569
- Has said several times, this might be coming.
- 00:06:37.569 --> 00:06:40.606
- "the us will send help." those are their words, not mine,
- 00:06:40.606 --> 00:06:43.942
- To help the people in iran.
- 00:06:43.942 --> 00:06:45.577
- They've cautioned the iranian government time and time again
- 00:06:45.577 --> 00:06:48.747
- Against the violence that they've been using
- 00:06:48.747 --> 00:06:50.182
- Against their people and threatened
- 00:06:50.182 --> 00:06:51.750
- To take actual action against the people within iran.
- 00:06:51.750 --> 00:06:56.088
- And if that happens, what does that look like?
- 00:06:56.088 --> 00:06:58.624
- Is that an american attack
- 00:06:58.624 --> 00:06:59.791
- That's going to come on the ground in iran?
- 00:06:59.791 --> 00:07:01.994
- Are we looking at another airstrike?
- 00:07:01.994 --> 00:07:04.096
- Or is this more a public threat
- 00:07:04.096 --> 00:07:06.965
- With an attempt to do something different,
- 00:07:06.965 --> 00:07:09.001
- To use pressure, to use diplomatic levers,
- 00:07:09.001 --> 00:07:11.970
- To use more sanctions
- 00:07:11.970 --> 00:07:13.605
- To really pressure the iranian islamic regime?
- 00:07:13.605 --> 00:07:16.742
- So let's take a couple of minutes
- 00:07:16.742 --> 00:07:17.743
- And break all of this down,
- 00:07:17.743 --> 00:07:19.177
- Because this is the most important thing that's happening
- 00:07:19.177 --> 00:07:21.947
- In the world right now.
- 00:07:21.947 --> 00:07:24.416
- So first, a backdrop. iran has been
- 00:07:24.416 --> 00:07:26.618
- In a very substantial wave of demonstrations for weeks now,
- 00:07:26.618 --> 00:07:30.455
- And ever since these demonstrations broke out,
- 00:07:30.455 --> 00:07:33.425
- The us has been warning them,
- 00:07:33.425 --> 00:07:34.860
- Don't use violence against your people.
- 00:07:34.860 --> 00:07:37.095
- They caution them, "if you use too much violence,
- 00:07:37.095 --> 00:07:39.831
- "if you hurt your people, we will intervene."
- 00:07:39.831 --> 00:07:42.601
- The iranian islamic republic, of course,
- 00:07:42.601 --> 00:07:44.536
- Hates those kind of statements
- 00:07:44.536 --> 00:07:46.271
- And has pushed back strongly and publicly
- 00:07:46.271 --> 00:07:48.640
- Against any kind of american intervention,
- 00:07:48.640 --> 00:07:50.976
- Claiming that it's a violation of international law
- 00:07:50.976 --> 00:07:53.245
- And the usual jargon that they use on these topics.
- 00:07:53.245 --> 00:07:55.781
- But what's really going to happen?
- 00:07:55.781 --> 00:07:57.282
- Where is this really going? so let's break down the facts
- 00:07:57.282 --> 00:08:00.652
- And then separate the facts from fiction
- 00:08:00.652 --> 00:08:02.921
- And from what we're hoping will happen.
- 00:08:02.921 --> 00:08:05.023
- So number one, has the us already intervened
- 00:08:05.023 --> 00:08:07.926
- With what's happening on the ground in iran?
- 00:08:07.926 --> 00:08:10.362
- Let me tell you something. the fact that these demonstrations
- 00:08:10.362 --> 00:08:12.898
- Have reached this size, this caliber,
- 00:08:12.898 --> 00:08:15.600
- And the fact that they include elements from...
- 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:17.803
- Without or throughout iranian society,
- 00:08:17.803 --> 00:08:20.539
- That has to do with what the us and israel by extension
- 00:08:20.539 --> 00:08:24.142
- Have been doing in iran already.
- 00:08:24.142 --> 00:08:26.378
- Operation midnight hammer,
- 00:08:26.378 --> 00:08:27.746
- Or rising lion, as israel called it,
- 00:08:27.746 --> 00:08:29.881
- Back in june. that's one of the triggers
- 00:08:29.881 --> 00:08:31.883
- To what we're watching right now in iran.
- 00:08:31.883 --> 00:08:35.020
- The regime has been weakened
- 00:08:35.020 --> 00:08:36.455
- Both publicly, externally and internally.
- 00:08:36.455 --> 00:08:39.658
- They've been shown to be less powerful
- 00:08:39.658 --> 00:08:42.627
- Than what people imagined,
- 00:08:42.627 --> 00:08:43.962
- To have less of a grip, both on internal securiy
- 00:08:43.962 --> 00:08:46.665
- But specifically on external powers.
- 00:08:46.665 --> 00:08:49.201
- And that projection of power loss that they've experienced,
- 00:08:49.201 --> 00:08:52.270
- That's part of the backdrop to the demonstrations
- 00:08:52.270 --> 00:08:54.673
- That we're watching right now. but not only that,
- 00:08:54.673 --> 00:08:57.375
- Also the sanctions have been taking effect.
- 00:08:57.375 --> 00:08:59.311
- They were the ones that were imposed
- 00:08:59.311 --> 00:09:00.645
- By the united states led coalition against the iranians.
- 00:09:00.645 --> 00:09:04.015
- So that too has already happened.
- 00:09:04.015 --> 00:09:06.151
- Then there's an incredible amount of diplomatic pressure
- 00:09:06.151 --> 00:09:08.553
- That the us has been carrying against the iranians
- 00:09:08.553 --> 00:09:11.056
- For years now. so to say america will get involved
- 00:09:11.056 --> 00:09:14.493
- Is ignoring the fact that we've already seen
- 00:09:14.493 --> 00:09:16.094
- A very major involvement of the us government
- 00:09:16.094 --> 00:09:19.698
- Over multiple years, in what's happening on the ground in iran.
- 00:09:19.698 --> 00:09:23.268
- I want to be clear here,
- 00:09:23.268 --> 00:09:24.536
- Things are very tense in the middle east
- 00:09:24.536 --> 00:09:26.505
- And they haven't been this tense,
- 00:09:26.505 --> 00:09:28.073
- Well, since june of 2025,
- 00:09:28.073 --> 00:09:30.709
- When israel and the united states
- 00:09:30.709 --> 00:09:32.310
- Were striking deep in the heart of iran
- 00:09:32.310 --> 00:09:34.312
- And eliminating their nuclear targets,
- 00:09:34.312 --> 00:09:36.281
- In operation midnight hammer, known in israel as "am kelavi",
- 00:09:36.281 --> 00:09:39.284
- Or "rising lion" in english.
- 00:09:39.284 --> 00:09:41.887
- So tensions are high and there's a lot on the table right now
- 00:09:41.887 --> 00:09:45.590
- And we should continue praying
- 00:09:45.590 --> 00:09:47.192
- For our leaders to make the right decision
- 00:09:47.192 --> 00:09:49.161
- And hoping that everything goes in the right direction.
- 00:09:49.161 --> 00:09:52.330
- Because this is a very tense
- 00:09:52.330 --> 00:09:54.232
- And a very, very, very historic moment
- 00:09:54.232 --> 00:09:56.601
- That we're witnessing before our eyes.
- 00:09:56.601 --> 00:09:58.670
- Let me give you the positive here.
- 00:09:58.670 --> 00:10:00.272
- The positive here is
- 00:10:00.272 --> 00:10:01.540
- That whatever happens, however it happens,
- 00:10:01.540 --> 00:10:04.176
- Be it that the government is collapsing
- 00:10:04.176 --> 00:10:06.178
- Or implodes internally,
- 00:10:06.178 --> 00:10:07.546
- Or that foreign aid reaches this point,
- 00:10:07.546 --> 00:10:09.681
- Having the islamic republic,
- 00:10:09.681 --> 00:10:11.082
- The radical ayatollah regime removed from iran
- 00:10:11.082 --> 00:10:14.619
- Would be amazing for the people of iran.
- 00:10:14.619 --> 00:10:16.721
- They've been in control since 1979.
- 00:10:16.721 --> 00:10:20.826
- We're talking about 47 years, if my math is correct.
- 00:10:20.826 --> 00:10:24.229
- These people controlling the people of iran,
- 00:10:24.229 --> 00:10:26.731
- They've been like a disease
- 00:10:26.731 --> 00:10:27.866
- That is controlling the iranian people,
- 00:10:27.866 --> 00:10:29.734
- And they deserve better than that.
- 00:10:29.734 --> 00:10:31.703
- They deserve a new hope, a new future.
- 00:10:31.703 --> 00:10:34.472
- Be it with the son of the shah, or be it with a new government,
- 00:10:34.472 --> 00:10:37.409
- It's time to replace the evil regime in iran.
- 00:10:37.409 --> 00:10:39.978
- My hope is that we're able to do that
- 00:10:39.978 --> 00:10:42.280
- Without causing another regional conflict,
- 00:10:42.280 --> 00:10:44.749
- Such as we had back in june.
- 00:10:44.749 --> 00:10:46.685
- Thank you, mati, for this information.
- 00:10:46.685 --> 00:10:48.920
- And now let's go to a fascinating interview
- 00:10:48.920 --> 00:10:51.423
- Straight from our studio in jerusalem,
- 00:10:51.423 --> 00:10:54.059
- Where tbn israel director, samuel smadja,
- 00:10:54.059 --> 00:10:56.895
- Will bring us a very surprising interview with mike gallagher.
- 00:10:56.895 --> 00:11:01.666
- Over to you, samuel.
- 00:11:01.666 --> 00:11:03.134
- Thank you, yair,
- 00:11:03.134 --> 00:11:04.336
- And shalom to you
- 00:11:04.769 --> 00:11:05.604
- From the beautiful studio
- 00:11:05.604 --> 00:11:07.706
- Here in jerusalem, the tbn studio
- 00:11:07.706 --> 00:11:09.441
- Overlooking this beautiful city of jerusalem.
- 00:11:09.441 --> 00:11:13.044
- Today we have a special guest, a friend of israel,
- 00:11:13.044 --> 00:11:16.481
- Mr. mike gallagher.
- 00:11:16.481 --> 00:11:18.016
- Mike gallagher is a famous host
- 00:11:18.016 --> 00:11:20.018
- On salem broadcasting, on salem radio network.
- 00:11:20.018 --> 00:11:23.588
- Shalom and thank you. thank you for coming all the way to israel
- 00:11:23.588 --> 00:11:27.592
- In such a time like that.
- 00:11:27.592 --> 00:11:28.960
- Shalom. it's an honor to be here
- 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:30.562
- And be with you
- 00:11:30.562 --> 00:11:31.363
- And these studios
- 00:11:31.363 --> 00:11:32.864
- Are so magnificent.
- 00:11:32.864 --> 00:11:34.165
- It's a joy to have
- 00:11:34.165 --> 00:11:36.201
- This incredible view.
- 00:11:36.201 --> 00:11:37.869
- I broadcast my show from here over the years,
- 00:11:37.869 --> 00:11:41.673
- And it was actually in these studios.
- 00:11:41.673 --> 00:11:43.141
- And the first time we walked in, we said, wow,
- 00:11:43.141 --> 00:11:45.210
- It's a rare tv studio where it's not a fake background.
- 00:11:45.210 --> 00:11:47.913
- This is a real background. -exactly.
- 00:11:47.913 --> 00:11:49.614
- So it's an honor to be here.
- 00:11:49.614 --> 00:11:51.283
- Mike, i really believe that sometimes
- 00:11:51.283 --> 00:11:54.152
- Israel is very strong in military
- 00:11:54.152 --> 00:11:56.288
- And we win wars and so on,
- 00:11:56.288 --> 00:11:58.123
- But when it comes to media, we are not doing the best job.
- 00:11:58.123 --> 00:12:01.927
- I'm not talking about the tbn,
- 00:12:01.927 --> 00:12:03.094
- I'm talking about the nation of israel.
- 00:12:03.094 --> 00:12:04.863
- So seeing people like you, famous networks like yours,
- 00:12:04.863 --> 00:12:09.100
- Salem broadcasting, coming to israel
- 00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:10.969
- And standing with israel and bringing your perspective
- 00:12:10.969 --> 00:12:13.738
- On what's going on,
- 00:12:13.738 --> 00:12:15.140
- I want to use this opportunity to say thank you.
- 00:12:15.140 --> 00:12:18.043
- Mike, can you tell us about your journey in salem broadcasting
- 00:12:18.043 --> 00:12:21.246
- Or your journey at all in the media?
- 00:12:21.246 --> 00:12:23.481
- I've been doing this for over 40 years.
- 00:12:23.481 --> 00:12:25.750
- You know, i have a network show
- 00:12:25.750 --> 00:12:27.419
- On over 400 radio stations around the country
- 00:12:27.419 --> 00:12:30.922
- And i'm also live on salem news channel,
- 00:12:30.922 --> 00:12:34.192
- Which is our over the top streaming platform as well.
- 00:12:34.192 --> 00:12:37.429
- I was a former fox news channel contributor
- 00:12:37.429 --> 00:12:39.965
- For about a dozen years. -wow.
- 00:12:39.965 --> 00:12:42.767
- And have just been a lifelong broadcaster.
- 00:12:42.767 --> 00:12:45.403
- Of all the things that i've gotten to experience,
- 00:12:45.403 --> 00:12:48.406
- I've interviewed three american presidents, both bushes
- 00:12:48.406 --> 00:12:51.643
- And of course, president trump on a number of occasions,
- 00:12:51.643 --> 00:12:54.446
- Gotten to travel the world, have experienced highlights,
- 00:12:54.446 --> 00:12:58.249
- Nothing is as meaningful as coming to israel.
- 00:12:58.249 --> 00:13:01.252
- Wow, thank you. -it just means everything to me
- 00:13:01.252 --> 00:13:03.054
- Because i'm aware... -why? -well,
- 00:13:03.054 --> 00:13:04.322
- Because i'm aware of the media breakdown
- 00:13:04.322 --> 00:13:07.459
- In terms of not conveying to the american people
- 00:13:07.459 --> 00:13:11.162
- How crucial it is to stand with israel,
- 00:13:11.162 --> 00:13:13.765
- Especially at a time like now.
- 00:13:13.765 --> 00:13:15.567
- This is my 11th journey to israel over the years.
- 00:13:15.567 --> 00:13:18.870
- You have 7 million listeners.
- 00:13:18.870 --> 00:13:21.406
- How do you balance between faith and media?
- 00:13:21.406 --> 00:13:25.176
- Well, i work for a company that is fine with me
- 00:13:25.176 --> 00:13:29.080
- Professing my faith whenever i feel like it on my show.
- 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:32.384
- Now, i'm a political commentator.
- 00:13:32.384 --> 00:13:33.952
- We talk about trump and democrats,
- 00:13:33.952 --> 00:13:36.654
- Republicans and left versus right,
- 00:13:36.654 --> 00:13:40.291
- Not unlike a lot of the challenges
- 00:13:40.291 --> 00:13:41.993
- That you have here in israel.
- 00:13:41.993 --> 00:13:43.862
- But salem media is fine with me being allowed
- 00:13:43.862 --> 00:13:46.865
- To profess my faith and my love for israel.
- 00:13:46.865 --> 00:13:50.502
- Look, this is a very pro-israel audience that i have,
- 00:13:50.502 --> 00:13:53.338
- We understand it.
- 00:13:53.338 --> 00:13:54.539
- However, there's more work to be done.
- 00:13:54.539 --> 00:13:56.641
- There's a lot of things
- 00:13:56.641 --> 00:13:58.643
- About the relationship between the united states and israel
- 00:13:58.643 --> 00:14:01.546
- That a host like me should lean into
- 00:14:01.546 --> 00:14:04.649
- And should illustrate for the audience.
- 00:14:04.649 --> 00:14:06.451
- There's a lot of misinformation about israel,
- 00:14:06.451 --> 00:14:09.387
- A lot of conspiracy theories, plenty of strong opinions
- 00:14:09.387 --> 00:14:12.724
- About prime minister netanyahu and the war.
- 00:14:12.724 --> 00:14:15.894
- And so, look, i see my role
- 00:14:15.894 --> 00:14:19.030
- As being one of clarity, and one of love for israel
- 00:14:19.030 --> 00:14:23.001
- Because the united states and israel are aligned spiritually,
- 00:14:23.001 --> 00:14:26.871
- Geographically, demographically, every way possible.
- 00:14:26.871 --> 00:14:29.407
- Let's talk about those who don't agree with you.
- 00:14:29.407 --> 00:14:31.776
- How do you deal with the challenge?
- 00:14:31.776 --> 00:14:33.978
- I am a conservative christian trump supporting republican
- 00:14:33.978 --> 00:14:38.249
- And i express those views rigorously.
- 00:14:38.249 --> 00:14:40.018
- But i also invite dissent.
- 00:14:40.018 --> 00:14:41.686
- In fact, if i have eight callers on hold
- 00:14:41.686 --> 00:14:43.655
- And one of the eight wants to disagree with me,
- 00:14:43.655 --> 00:14:45.390
- That's the caller i want to take on my show.
- 00:14:45.390 --> 00:14:47.926
- Can you give us a story? -sure. there's plenty of people
- 00:14:47.926 --> 00:14:50.929
- Who i think have unwittingly embraced anti-semitism,
- 00:14:50.929 --> 00:14:55.800
- And they've cloaked it under the guise
- 00:14:55.800 --> 00:14:57.602
- Of caring and concern for the palestinians.
- 00:14:57.602 --> 00:15:00.672
- Let's be honest, on the west coast,
- 00:15:00.672 --> 00:15:02.040
- You see homeless people all over, you go to seattle,
- 00:15:02.040 --> 00:15:05.610
- Seattle is full of homeless.
- 00:15:05.610 --> 00:15:07.212
- Here, america is sending millions or billions to israel.
- 00:15:07.212 --> 00:15:10.849
- Correct. -how can you defend that?
- 00:15:10.849 --> 00:15:12.951
- For me, this comes down to a battle between good and evil.
- 00:15:12.951 --> 00:15:16.821
- It's very difficult for me to understand
- 00:15:16.821 --> 00:15:18.490
- How you negotiate with hamas. i don't understand negotiating
- 00:15:18.490 --> 00:15:21.593
- With people who want to eradicate you.
- 00:15:21.593 --> 00:15:23.962
- However, israel is in that position of having to do so.
- 00:15:23.962 --> 00:15:27.298
- I come from the reagan era
- 00:15:27.866 --> 00:15:29.734
- Where we don't negotiate with terrorists.
- 00:15:29.734 --> 00:15:31.903
- Now that paradigm has changed.
- 00:15:31.903 --> 00:15:34.606
- Young people, i think, again,
- 00:15:34.606 --> 00:15:36.641
- Unwittingly and unknowingly,
- 00:15:36.641 --> 00:15:38.443
- Embrace anti-semitism without knowing it.
- 00:15:38.443 --> 00:15:40.912
- They see the devastation in gaza and they blame israel.
- 00:15:40.912 --> 00:15:43.815
- They say israel is guilty of genocide.
- 00:15:43.815 --> 00:15:46.017
- They don't understand
- 00:15:46.017 --> 00:15:47.252
- What i saw in the months after october 7th
- 00:15:47.252 --> 00:15:50.088
- When i came here and interviewed survivors and saw what they did,
- 00:15:50.088 --> 00:15:54.526
- And it's up to me with a platform
- 00:15:54.526 --> 00:15:56.528
- With millions of people,
- 00:15:56.528 --> 00:15:57.862
- To share what i've experienced over here,
- 00:15:57.862 --> 00:16:00.031
- To tell the story of what it means to have a nation,
- 00:16:00.031 --> 00:16:03.401
- A state of israel that wants to survive.
- 00:16:03.401 --> 00:16:05.537
- "just don't kill us,"
- 00:16:05.537 --> 00:16:07.138
- Versus those who want to eradicate the state of israel.
- 00:16:07.138 --> 00:16:09.908
- And so i think you tell those stories on the air,
- 00:16:09.908 --> 00:16:12.944
- I hope i'm a good storyteller,
- 00:16:12.944 --> 00:16:14.412
- I hope i'm effective in the way i message.
- 00:16:14.412 --> 00:16:16.381
- Then, frankly, samuel, it comes down to good versus evil.
- 00:16:16.381 --> 00:16:19.083
- It's that simple. it's not complicated.
- 00:16:19.083 --> 00:16:21.186
- People don't see good against evil. -that's right.
- 00:16:21.186 --> 00:16:23.788
- They don't see the point that for you, it's so clear.
- 00:16:23.788 --> 00:16:26.324
- Well, because i think young people in particular, samuel,
- 00:16:26.324 --> 00:16:28.893
- Don't recognize what evil is.
- 00:16:28.893 --> 00:16:31.062
- I'll give you two minutes. -sure.
- 00:16:31.062 --> 00:16:32.497
- Can you defend the cause of israel
- 00:16:32.497 --> 00:16:35.066
- To young people watching us all over the world?
- 00:16:35.066 --> 00:16:37.468
- Israel biblically, spiritually, historically,
- 00:16:37.468 --> 00:16:42.307
- Is a beacon of hope, of inspiration to the world.
- 00:16:42.307 --> 00:16:46.177
- This is a tiny place that is surrounded by hostile actors.
- 00:16:46.177 --> 00:16:50.949
- This is a nation that has defied all the odds.
- 00:16:50.949 --> 00:16:54.752
- But it's scriptural. we understand.
- 00:16:54.752 --> 00:16:56.721
- And the bible foretold what has happened with israel.
- 00:16:56.721 --> 00:17:00.525
- And you can connect those dots.
- 00:17:00.525 --> 00:17:01.993
- Again, it's up to us to tell those stories.
- 00:17:01.993 --> 00:17:04.629
- Everything the left hates about the united states,
- 00:17:04.629 --> 00:17:08.066
- They hate about israel.
- 00:17:08.066 --> 00:17:09.367
- They don't like a free expression of ideas.
- 00:17:09.367 --> 00:17:12.570
- They don't like morality. they're anti-traditional family.
- 00:17:12.570 --> 00:17:16.574
- All the things that most, i think, normal people, cherish.
- 00:17:16.574 --> 00:17:21.212
- A lot of people on the far left resent.
- 00:17:21.212 --> 00:17:24.082
- And so it's up to us to explain the virtues of israel,
- 00:17:24.082 --> 00:17:28.186
- The strength of israel, the resolve of the israeli people
- 00:17:28.186 --> 00:17:32.590
- And the goodness of israel.
- 00:17:32.590 --> 00:17:34.525
- Of all the travels, and i've gone all over the world,
- 00:17:34.525 --> 00:17:36.894
- I'm never treated kinder than i am from people here.
- 00:17:36.894 --> 00:17:40.665
- There's a loving generosity of spirit
- 00:17:40.665 --> 00:17:42.900
- That is hard to find anywhere in the world.
- 00:17:42.900 --> 00:17:44.869
- Mike, without mentioning names, we start hearing here in israel
- 00:17:44.869 --> 00:17:49.140
- That people on the right have second thoughts about israel.
- 00:17:49.140 --> 00:17:52.110
- Sure. -can you comment on that? -i can.
- 00:17:52.110 --> 00:17:55.046
- President trump introduced an america first agenda.
- 00:17:55.046 --> 00:17:59.083
- Maga, make america great again, which is of course,
- 00:17:59.083 --> 00:18:01.886
- The whole dna of the trump doctrine,
- 00:18:01.886 --> 00:18:05.590
- Is all about america first, america first, america first.
- 00:18:05.590 --> 00:18:08.593
- And so there are conservatives, there are colleagues,
- 00:18:08.593 --> 00:18:10.762
- In fact, people i know, friends,
- 00:18:10.762 --> 00:18:13.298
- Who have cooled a little bit on the idea of supporting israel,
- 00:18:13.298 --> 00:18:17.135
- Which is heartbreaking, because now more than ever,
- 00:18:17.135 --> 00:18:20.471
- We need to see a support for israel
- 00:18:20.471 --> 00:18:23.241
- That defines who we are as a people.
- 00:18:23.241 --> 00:18:27.211
- But i understand it because if you're america first,
- 00:18:27.211 --> 00:18:30.882
- You say, look, israel's wonderful,
- 00:18:30.882 --> 00:18:33.685
- But we don't need to spend billions of dollars. -exactly.
- 00:18:33.685 --> 00:18:35.987
- We have enough problems. -we have problems
- 00:18:35.987 --> 00:18:37.288
- In the united states, and i do recognize it.
- 00:18:37.288 --> 00:18:39.991
- That's why we've got to step up our efforts
- 00:18:39.991 --> 00:18:42.827
- And explain why israel needs us more than ever.
- 00:18:42.827 --> 00:18:46.164
- Look, the explosion of anti-semitism
- 00:18:46.164 --> 00:18:48.533
- That we've witnessed on american college campuses
- 00:18:48.533 --> 00:18:51.402
- Should be an absolute clarion call
- 00:18:51.402 --> 00:18:53.471
- For anybody who sees this battle between good and evil.
- 00:18:53.471 --> 00:18:56.441
- I watched college kids pull down flyers of the hostages
- 00:18:56.441 --> 00:19:00.178
- From light poles in new york city and had no problem doing so
- 00:19:00.178 --> 00:19:03.981
- And didn't mind being exposed.
- 00:19:03.981 --> 00:19:06.184
- The anti-semitism now that we're seeing is in our face.
- 00:19:06.184 --> 00:19:09.053
- It used to be subtle. not anymore.
- 00:19:09.053 --> 00:19:10.922
- And so that should be a wake up call.
- 00:19:10.922 --> 00:19:12.990
- And it's also a cheap shot.
- 00:19:12.990 --> 00:19:14.892
- It's also an easy out to say, let israel fend for itself
- 00:19:14.892 --> 00:19:19.697
- And look, as israel falls, so do we.
- 00:19:19.697 --> 00:19:22.367
- We're not going to let that happen. and thankfully,
- 00:19:22.367 --> 00:19:25.169
- I think israel has one of the best friends in the white house
- 00:19:25.169 --> 00:19:28.773
- That israel has ever experienced.
- 00:19:28.773 --> 00:19:30.308
- I've been blown away by all the support from donald trump
- 00:19:30.308 --> 00:19:32.844
- That i've witnessed this week. -no doubt.
- 00:19:32.844 --> 00:19:34.178
- And it's a great opportunity to say thank you,
- 00:19:34.178 --> 00:19:37.648
- The president of america,
- 00:19:37.648 --> 00:19:39.350
- For dedicating so much of his time
- 00:19:39.350 --> 00:19:42.854
- To bring peace to the middle east.
- 00:19:42.854 --> 00:19:44.622
- And i've had a chance, if i may,
- 00:19:44.622 --> 00:19:45.890
- To speak with president trump personally
- 00:19:45.890 --> 00:19:47.692
- About his love and support for israel.
- 00:19:47.692 --> 00:19:50.628
- He and benjamin netanyahu
- 00:19:50.628 --> 00:19:52.130
- Have a very interesting relationship. -yes.
- 00:19:52.130 --> 00:19:54.365
- To say the least. but they are great allies
- 00:19:54.365 --> 00:19:56.801
- And i think they're very strong leaders.
- 00:19:56.801 --> 00:19:59.337
- They're both very, very powerful leaders
- 00:19:59.337 --> 00:20:01.472
- And very effective leaders. but look, make no mistake,
- 00:20:01.472 --> 00:20:04.008
- President trump has a deep love and respect. -and we saw it
- 00:20:04.008 --> 00:20:06.911
- When he came to the knesset not long ago here in jerusalem.
- 00:20:06.911 --> 00:20:09.881
- I had the opportunity to be there. he announced a ceasefire,
- 00:20:09.881 --> 00:20:14.152
- He announced that we're going to have peace
- 00:20:14.152 --> 00:20:15.520
- And i believe that we're going towards abraham accord
- 00:20:15.520 --> 00:20:17.722
- And all that. but something else happened on the 7th of october.
- 00:20:17.722 --> 00:20:22.226
- We managed to win the war on the ground. -right.
- 00:20:22.226 --> 00:20:27.765
- I'm not sure that israel has a solution for anti-semitism.
- 00:20:27.765 --> 00:20:31.202
- I agree with you because i believe october 7th
- 00:20:31.202 --> 00:20:34.272
- Unleashed that anti-semitism at columbia university in new york
- 00:20:34.272 --> 00:20:38.142
- And yale, all over the world. -look at europe.
- 00:20:38.142 --> 00:20:40.645
- Look at europe right now. but in the united states,
- 00:20:40.645 --> 00:20:43.047
- It was appalling to me to witness people
- 00:20:43.047 --> 00:20:45.983
- Waving hamas flags in the streets of america.
- 00:20:45.983 --> 00:20:49.120
- October 7th was your 9/11.
- 00:20:49.120 --> 00:20:52.256
- Everything got changed in america after 9/11.
- 00:20:52.256 --> 00:20:54.592
- There was pre-9/11, post-9/11.
- 00:20:54.592 --> 00:20:57.328
- Same thing for you with october 7th.
- 00:20:57.328 --> 00:20:59.163
- I don't think a lot of americans appreciate the enormity
- 00:20:59.163 --> 00:21:02.400
- Of what happened that day.
- 00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:04.101
- The barbarism, the cruelty. i saw the video,
- 00:21:04.101 --> 00:21:07.672
- The select video that not a lot of people got to see,
- 00:21:07.672 --> 00:21:11.542
- And i watched the euphoria that the terrorists had
- 00:21:11.542 --> 00:21:14.612
- In slaughtering innocent men, women and children.
- 00:21:14.612 --> 00:21:17.615
- Again, it's up to folks like me to share that with the audience
- 00:21:17.615 --> 00:21:21.686
- So they understand the true nature of the depravity
- 00:21:21.686 --> 00:21:24.589
- And they can recognize what evil looks like
- 00:21:24.589 --> 00:21:26.791
- Because it's the personification of evil.
- 00:21:26.791 --> 00:21:28.593
- You mentioned that for you as a bible believer,
- 00:21:28.593 --> 00:21:30.928
- Israel plays a role, as a christian man and so on.
- 00:21:30.928 --> 00:21:34.432
- Even that is being debated now.
- 00:21:35.066 --> 00:21:36.934
- Understand that today,
- 00:21:36.934 --> 00:21:38.970
- "the sky is up and the ground is down" is debatable.
- 00:21:38.970 --> 00:21:42.907
- Everything now gets challenged
- 00:21:42.907 --> 00:21:45.343
- Because of the explosion of social media, the internet.
- 00:21:45.343 --> 00:21:48.513
- Do you think israel has to be worried about that?
- 00:21:48.513 --> 00:21:50.848
- It should absolutely be concerned. and that's why israel
- 00:21:50.848 --> 00:21:53.284
- Needs to continue to tell the truth
- 00:21:53.284 --> 00:21:55.319
- And to deliver the message to the world.
- 00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:57.688
- And it does so through broadcasters like me.
- 00:21:57.688 --> 00:22:01.392
- The more people that can come over to israel
- 00:22:01.392 --> 00:22:03.628
- From the united states or from europe or wherever,
- 00:22:03.628 --> 00:22:05.563
- The better, because we've got to tell the truth
- 00:22:05.563 --> 00:22:07.665
- Back home to our audience.
- 00:22:07.665 --> 00:22:09.000
- I take this responsibility very seriously.
- 00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.402
- There's a spiritual purpose for the 11 times that i've been here
- 00:22:11.402 --> 00:22:15.106
- To talk to my audience about what israel represents.
- 00:22:15.106 --> 00:22:18.743
- There are christian people and non-christians
- 00:22:18.743 --> 00:22:21.112
- Watching us from all over the world.
- 00:22:21.112 --> 00:22:23.214
- You're sitting here in jerusalem.
- 00:22:23.214 --> 00:22:24.949
- You know the situation.
- 00:22:25.449 --> 00:22:27.652
- Do you have a message from jerusalem to the world?
- 00:22:27.652 --> 00:22:31.055
- There is nothing like traveling to israel
- 00:22:31.055 --> 00:22:33.991
- And experiencing what we get to experience.
- 00:22:33.991 --> 00:22:36.861
- This week i've been to the garden of gethsemane,
- 00:22:36.861 --> 00:22:39.664
- Which is my my absolute favorite spot. for some reason
- 00:22:39.664 --> 00:22:43.200
- There's a peace. -it's a very powerful place.
- 00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:44.936
- There's a serenity that comes over me
- 00:22:44.936 --> 00:22:46.671
- Knowing from my perspective as a christian,
- 00:22:46.671 --> 00:22:50.041
- What jesus experienced in that place.
- 00:22:50.041 --> 00:22:52.643
- We went to the garden tomb. we went to the mount of olives,
- 00:22:52.643 --> 00:22:55.813
- To walk where jesus walked. -did you feel safe?
- 00:22:55.813 --> 00:22:58.249
- Completely safe, i feel...
- 00:22:58.249 --> 00:22:59.850
- Because people are watching and saying,
- 00:22:59.850 --> 00:23:01.419
- "yeah, we want to go to israel, it's a dream of our life,
- 00:23:01.419 --> 00:23:04.322
- "but you know, israel is not safe."
- 00:23:04.322 --> 00:23:05.856
- Look, i feel a lot safer here
- 00:23:05.856 --> 00:23:07.391
- Than i do in midtown manhattan on a saturday night.
- 00:23:07.391 --> 00:23:10.027
- It is a welcoming place, it is a spiritual place
- 00:23:10.027 --> 00:23:14.465
- And it changes you. i mean, it's been 11 times
- 00:23:14.465 --> 00:23:16.968
- But i feel like this is the first time for me.
- 00:23:16.968 --> 00:23:19.403
- To again walk the via dolorosa
- 00:23:19.403 --> 00:23:21.973
- And walk where jesus walked with the cross.
- 00:23:21.973 --> 00:23:24.041
- It's the most important destination of my life
- 00:23:24.041 --> 00:23:27.912
- And it just means the world to be here again
- 00:23:27.912 --> 00:23:30.214
- And i'm glad to be here on behalf
- 00:23:30.214 --> 00:23:31.682
- Of the international fellowship of christians and jews.
- 00:23:31.682 --> 00:23:34.151
- They sponsored my broadcast here.
- 00:23:34.151 --> 00:23:36.320
- We're dear friends with yael eckstein
- 00:23:36.320 --> 00:23:38.222
- And the work that they do at the fellowship.
- 00:23:38.222 --> 00:23:40.191
- We appreciate, you know,
- 00:23:40.191 --> 00:23:41.626
- This ministry of christians and jews coming together
- 00:23:41.626 --> 00:23:43.961
- To help those in need here in israel.
- 00:23:43.961 --> 00:23:45.896
- Mike, they call you the "happy conservative warrior".
- 00:23:45.896 --> 00:23:49.400
- Yes, sir. -why?
- 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:51.502
- Well, because i'm a conservative,
- 00:23:51.502 --> 00:23:54.005
- I just don't have to be angry about it.
- 00:23:54.005 --> 00:23:55.973
- You know, i don't want to paraphrase
- 00:23:55.973 --> 00:23:58.809
- Other politicians who've said that.
- 00:23:58.809 --> 00:24:00.711
- I love what i do. i feel eternally blessed
- 00:24:00.711 --> 00:24:04.949
- To be able to do this for a living.
- 00:24:04.949 --> 00:24:07.084
- I wake up every day with a show that i want to get off my chest.
- 00:24:07.084 --> 00:24:10.488
- I like to call myself the vice president
- 00:24:10.488 --> 00:24:12.490
- Of the "happy to be here" club,
- 00:24:12.490 --> 00:24:13.991
- Because i am truly, very, very happy to be here
- 00:24:13.991 --> 00:24:16.527
- And grateful that i get to do what i do for a living.
- 00:24:16.527 --> 00:24:19.030
- Thank you. thank you for coming to our show.
- 00:24:19.030 --> 00:24:21.332
- Thank you for standing with israel.
- 00:24:21.332 --> 00:24:23.200
- And to you, our friends,
- 00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:25.503
- Be a voice. stand for the truth.
- 00:24:25.503 --> 00:24:28.105
- First of all, the truth of the gospel.
- 00:24:28.105 --> 00:24:30.241
- Pray for the peace of jerusalem, and a warm, warm shalom.
- 00:24:30.241 --> 00:24:34.111
- Back to you, yair.
- 00:24:34.545 --> 00:24:36.113
- I hope you enjoyed our report.
- 00:24:36.747 --> 00:24:38.349
- Now we'll go to a short commercial break,
- 00:24:38.349 --> 00:24:40.651
- After which we'll return here to pray together
- 00:24:40.651 --> 00:24:43.721
- For the peace of jerusalem, but also for the people of iran.
- 00:24:43.721 --> 00:24:50.997
- For the peace of jerusalem, but also for the people of iran.
- 00:24:50.997 --> 00:24:55.584
- Thank you so much for coming back.
- 00:24:56.351 --> 00:24:58.520
- This is a spiritual war.
- 00:24:59.021 --> 00:25:00.756
- I've been saying this a lot,
- 00:25:00.756 --> 00:25:02.591
- And the only way that i know
- 00:25:02.591 --> 00:25:03.926
- How to fight a spiritual war
- 00:25:03.926 --> 00:25:05.794
- Is by praying.
- 00:25:05.794 --> 00:25:07.196
- The people that need prayer
- 00:25:07.796 --> 00:25:09.431
- More than any other people in this region right now
