Charlie Kirk Today | Yael Eckstein: November 26, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | November 26, 2025
- Brought to you in part by the
- 00:00:01.782 --> 00:00:03.484
- International fellowship of christians and jews.
- 00:00:03.484 --> 00:00:14.495
- There's been a lot since yesterday.
- 00:00:15.262 --> 00:00:16.864
- Show about this back and forth between secretary
- 00:00:16.864 --> 00:00:19.733
- Of war pete hegseth and senator mark kelly. so.
- 00:00:19.733 --> 00:00:23.270
- Well, let's just let's start from the baseline.
- 00:00:23.270 --> 00:00:25.573
- Most of you have seen this, but in case you haven't,
- 00:00:25.573 --> 00:00:28.375
- This is the video that kicked it all off
- 00:00:28.375 --> 00:00:30.611
- That six democrats put out.
- 00:00:30.611 --> 00:00:32.513
- They released on social media, a few days ago.
- 00:00:32.513 --> 00:00:35.282
- Let's just put up 1624.
- 00:00:35.282 --> 00:00:36.984
- I'm senator elissa slotkin, senator mark kelly,
- 00:00:36.984 --> 00:00:39.720
- Representative krista lucio,
- 00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:41.455
- Congresswoman maggie goodland, representative
- 00:00:41.455 --> 00:00:43.624
- Chrissy houlihan, congressman jason crow.
- 00:00:43.624 --> 00:00:45.893
- Our laws are clear.
- 00:00:45.893 --> 00:00:47.194
- You can refuse illegal orders.
- 00:00:47.194 --> 00:00:51.732
- You must refuse illegal orders.
- 00:00:49.697 --> 00:00:54.268
- And so it went on.
- 00:00:54.268 --> 00:00:55.369
- A bill like that said, you must refuse illegal orders.
- 00:00:55.369 --> 00:00:58.272
- Don't, don't don't give up the ship.
- 00:00:58.272 --> 00:00:59.740
- Don't give up the ship.
- 00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:00.975
- So as many people pointed out, that's definitely
- 00:01:00.975 --> 00:01:06.080
- It's not implying anything that's good.
- 00:01:06.881 --> 00:01:08.883
- The best defense you could make
- 00:01:08.883 --> 00:01:10.317
- Is they're worried trump might make an illegal order,
- 00:01:10.317 --> 00:01:12.853
- And they're saying people should defy it.
- 00:01:12.853 --> 00:01:14.321
- But there's a very strong vibe that they are soliciting.
- 00:01:14.321 --> 00:01:18.926
- Encouraging some element of defiance
- 00:01:18.926 --> 00:01:21.662
- Of the administration's might get to order.
- 00:01:21.662 --> 00:01:24.498
- Slotkin has slotkin
- 00:01:24.498 --> 00:01:26.066
- Has even gone on the record saying,
- 00:01:26.066 --> 00:01:27.635
- No, i'm not aware of any illegal orders.
- 00:01:27.635 --> 00:01:29.770
- So it's basically, well, they have to say that basically
- 00:01:29.770 --> 00:01:32.706
- Otherwise they are actively
- 00:01:33.307 --> 00:01:34.475
- Telling them to defy orders right now.
- 00:01:34.475 --> 00:01:37.511
- But anyway, mark kelly,
- 00:01:37.511 --> 00:01:39.413
- He is a retired fighter pilot, but he still has, yeah.
- 00:01:39.413 --> 00:01:43.517
- I can't remember his exact role with the military,
- 00:01:43.517 --> 00:01:45.219
- But he has the ability to be recalled.
- 00:01:45.219 --> 00:01:46.654
- So essentially,
- 00:01:46.654 --> 00:01:47.855
- He is still subject to military discipline in certain ways
- 00:01:47.855 --> 00:01:51.492
- Or so. the war department says.
- 00:01:51.492 --> 00:01:52.893
- And so what we had is, first, the department of war
- 00:01:52.893 --> 00:01:56.230
- Put out an official statement.
- 00:01:56.230 --> 00:01:57.097
- Let's put up.
- 00:01:57.097 --> 00:01:58.132
- 155 the department of war has received serious
- 00:01:58.132 --> 00:02:00.568
- Allegations of misconduct against captain mark kelly.
- 00:02:00.568 --> 00:02:03.270
- The us navy retired in accordance with the uniform
- 00:02:03.270 --> 00:02:05.940
- Code of military justice, and there is a whole long thing
- 00:02:05.940 --> 00:02:08.742
- That they are may consider acronym and then
- 00:02:08.742 --> 00:02:12.980
- Secretary of war pete hegseth comes out
- 00:02:12.980 --> 00:02:15.282
- And he has his own tweet.
- 00:02:15.282 --> 00:02:16.450
- 156 the despicable video urging department of war troops
- 00:02:16.450 --> 00:02:20.754
- To refuse illegal orders may seem harmless to civilians,
- 00:02:20.754 --> 00:02:24.391
- But it carries a different weight inside the military.
- 00:02:24.391 --> 00:02:28.028
- This was and, it's a very long let me let me bring it up
- 00:02:28.028 --> 00:02:31.599
- Here. it's not all on this on the sheet.
- 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.601
- One moment.
- 00:02:33.601 --> 00:02:35.169
- But he goes on to basically say that they're
- 00:02:35.169 --> 00:02:39.173
- Going to look into a court martial action for like,
- 00:02:39.173 --> 00:02:44.044
- All right, i've got it here.
- 00:02:44.044 --> 00:02:44.812
- Like we continue reading.
- 00:02:44.812 --> 00:02:46.981
- This is a politically motivated influence operation
- 00:02:46.981 --> 00:02:49.650
- That never named a specific legal order.
- 00:02:49.650 --> 00:02:51.452
- It created ambiguity rather than clarity.
- 00:02:51.452 --> 00:02:53.654
- It used carefully scripted, legal sounding language,
- 00:02:53.654 --> 00:02:56.523
- And it subtly reframed military obedience around
- 00:02:56.523 --> 00:02:59.293
- Partizan distrust instead of established
- 00:02:59.293 --> 00:03:02.730
- Legal doctrines in the military, vague
- 00:03:02.730 --> 00:03:05.699
- Rhetoric and ambiguity undermine trust,
- 00:03:05.699 --> 00:03:07.901
- Create hesitation
- 00:03:07.901 --> 00:03:08.902
- In the chain of command, and erode cohesion.
- 00:03:08.902 --> 00:03:11.939
- The military has clear procedures for handling
- 00:03:11.939 --> 00:03:14.541
- Unlawful orders.
- 00:03:14.541 --> 00:03:15.609
- It does not need political actors injecting doubt.
- 00:03:15.609 --> 00:03:18.979
- And so then he goes on and,
- 00:03:18.979 --> 00:03:22.149
- 158 he goes on to threaten
- 00:03:22.149 --> 00:03:25.753
- An actual court martial against him.
- 00:03:25.753 --> 00:03:27.721
- Is that a video or a photo?
- 00:03:27.721 --> 00:03:30.090
- It looks like it's a video.
- 00:03:30.090 --> 00:03:31.292
- Let's do 158 defense secretary pete hegseth is threatening
- 00:03:31.292 --> 00:03:34.928
- To court martial democratic senator mark kelly of arizona.
- 00:03:34.928 --> 00:03:38.699
- The pentagon says they've received allegations
- 00:03:38.699 --> 00:03:41.402
- Of misconduct against the retired navy captain.
- 00:03:41.402 --> 00:03:44.038
- This appears to all stem from that video
- 00:03:44.038 --> 00:03:46.106
- That senator kelly made with other democratic lawmakers
- 00:03:46.106 --> 00:03:49.076
- Urging service members to remember
- 00:03:49.076 --> 00:03:50.811
- That they have a duty to disobey illegal orders.
- 00:03:50.811 --> 00:03:53.547
- And the department of defense, which now
- 00:03:53.547 --> 00:03:55.249
- Calls itself the department of war.
- 00:03:55.249 --> 00:03:56.650
- They posted a statement on acts
- 00:03:56.650 --> 00:03:58.519
- Saying that they have received serious allegations
- 00:03:58.519 --> 00:04:00.554
- Of misconduct against captain mark kelly.
- 00:04:00.554 --> 00:04:02.756
- He was a captain when he retired from the us navy.
- 00:04:02.756 --> 00:04:05.225
- And they said, importantly,
- 00:04:05.225 --> 00:04:06.226
- That a thorough review of these allegations
- 00:04:06.226 --> 00:04:07.895
- Has been initiated to determine further actions,
- 00:04:07.895 --> 00:04:10.197
- Which could include recall to active duty
- 00:04:10.197 --> 00:04:12.866
- For court martial proceedings or administrative measures.
- 00:04:12.866 --> 00:04:15.869
- I think what's going to happen
- 00:04:15.869 --> 00:04:17.037
- Is they're going to basically try and,
- 00:04:17.037 --> 00:04:19.473
- You know, shame him into in some way, shape or form.
- 00:04:19.473 --> 00:04:22.443
- And we have to we talked about this actually.
- 00:04:22.443 --> 00:04:23.744
- Do you think they'll stop at that?
- 00:04:23.744 --> 00:04:25.045
- I mean, i mean i don't know, but i will tell you shame.
- 00:04:25.045 --> 00:04:27.314
- Letitia james
- 00:04:27.314 --> 00:04:28.716
- And by the way,
- 00:04:28.716 --> 00:04:29.350
- For those who are curious,
- 00:04:29.350 --> 00:04:30.684
- The ucmj, the uniform code of military justice,
- 00:04:30.684 --> 00:04:34.388
- If you're wondering why
- 00:04:34.388 --> 00:04:35.589
- It only applies to mark kelly, which is a question i had, it.
- 00:04:35.589 --> 00:04:38.425
- It governs conduct for active duty
- 00:04:38.425 --> 00:04:40.661
- Members, reservists and certain retirees.
- 00:04:40.661 --> 00:04:42.963
- It does not apply to fully separated veterans, those
- 00:04:42.963 --> 00:04:45.799
- Who left without retiring after 20 plus years.
- 00:04:45.799 --> 00:04:47.968
- So presumably he put in his 20 plus years, retired
- 00:04:47.968 --> 00:04:51.271
- In a full military retirement style,
- 00:04:51.271 --> 00:04:53.640
- And therefore he's still subject.
- 00:04:53.640 --> 00:04:54.975
- If you take the 20 year plus retirement,
- 00:04:54.975 --> 00:04:56.944
- From the military, apparently you're still subject
- 00:04:56.944 --> 00:04:59.813
- To the ucm.
- 00:04:59.813 --> 00:05:00.714
- J but yeah, i mean, i,
- 00:05:00.714 --> 00:05:02.216
- I think he's he's saying that they're still subject
- 00:05:02.216 --> 00:05:04.518
- To certain administrative measures.
- 00:05:04.518 --> 00:05:05.786
- I, i am listen, i find this to be egregious.
- 00:05:05.786 --> 00:05:09.323
- What they did, you and i actually had an
- 00:05:09.323 --> 00:05:11.392
- Immediate reaction was it was egregious.
- 00:05:12.226 --> 00:05:14.695
- And i would also just say that there is a risk
- 00:05:14.695 --> 00:05:18.899
- Because i've i've been disgusted how all of them
- 00:05:18.899 --> 00:05:21.535
- Have gone on social media and been i'm a victim.
- 00:05:21.535 --> 00:05:23.737
- I'm a victim.
- 00:05:23.737 --> 00:05:24.905
- I can't believe president trump would say this about me.
- 00:05:24.905 --> 00:05:26.707
- And that he's, you know, he wants, me to be executed.
- 00:05:26.707 --> 00:05:30.077
- No, he was rightfully offended.
- 00:05:30.077 --> 00:05:32.579
- He was rightfully, i would say
- 00:05:32.579 --> 00:05:35.616
- Upset, angered,
- 00:05:35.983 --> 00:05:38.786
- Proud, you might say.
- 00:05:38.786 --> 00:05:40.287
- Which is the word i was going for, i stop myself.
- 00:05:40.287 --> 00:05:42.256
- But he was rightfully all of these things he
- 00:05:42.256 --> 00:05:44.625
- He put on social media.
- 00:05:44.625 --> 00:05:46.026
- He truth that a washington examiner article
- 00:05:46.026 --> 00:05:49.029
- And it said that.
- 00:05:49.029 --> 00:05:49.997
- Yeah. listen, this is seditious behavior.
- 00:05:49.997 --> 00:05:51.665
- If you were found guilty
- 00:05:51.665 --> 00:05:52.499
- Of seditious behavior, then guess what?
- 00:05:52.499 --> 00:05:54.568
- One of the potential punishments is,
- 00:05:54.568 --> 00:05:57.571
- You know, not so good things as, charlie would say.
- 00:05:57.571 --> 00:06:00.274
- And so, listen, i don't think, i don't think anybody
- 00:06:00.274 --> 00:06:02.209
- Is thinking that this is going here,
- 00:06:02.209 --> 00:06:04.077
- But i do think that there should be real consequences
- 00:06:04.077 --> 00:06:07.080
- For this save going so far as to make him an actual victim.
- 00:06:07.080 --> 00:06:10.517
- That's what we have to warn for.
- 00:06:10.517 --> 00:06:11.752
- And that's what we talked about before here.
- 00:06:11.752 --> 00:06:13.253
- If you actually make him a sympathetic figure,
- 00:06:13.253 --> 00:06:15.989
- Then what they did was egregious.
- 00:06:15.989 --> 00:06:18.392
- I don't think it was
- 00:06:18.392 --> 00:06:19.426
- Egregious enough that you could bring mark kelly
- 00:06:19.426 --> 00:06:22.830
- Into a court martial docket, have him in his uniform
- 00:06:22.830 --> 00:06:26.934
- Sitting up rigid, straight, giving speeches,
- 00:06:26.934 --> 00:06:29.470
- How i only ever cared about serving my country,
- 00:06:29.470 --> 00:06:32.206
- You know, looking the part all cinematic. yep.
- 00:06:32.206 --> 00:06:34.908
- And you try to convict him of that.
- 00:06:34.908 --> 00:06:37.010
- Maybe you do.
- 00:06:37.010 --> 00:06:38.212
- I feel the only reason to do that is if you are dead certain
- 00:06:38.212 --> 00:06:42.015
- You have good apo on mark kelly
- 00:06:42.015 --> 00:06:43.984
- And you want him to be jd vance is 2028 opponent right.
- 00:06:43.984 --> 00:06:46.854
- Well, that would very quickly make him a front.
- 00:06:46.854 --> 00:06:49.756
- I mean i don't want to get into it too much,
- 00:06:49.756 --> 00:06:51.091
- But i've just heard we are in arizona after all.
- 00:06:51.091 --> 00:06:53.227
- I heard there's quite a bit of apo on mark kelly.
- 00:06:53.227 --> 00:06:55.596
- But listen, that's i'll stop there.
- 00:06:55.596 --> 00:06:57.998
- This is what really upsets me.
- 00:06:57.998 --> 00:07:00.434
- And this is that at least slotkin, who was cia,
- 00:07:00.434 --> 00:07:03.637
- By the way, what's the cia really good at, blake?
- 00:07:03.637 --> 00:07:06.607
- Oh, i don't know.
- 00:07:06.607 --> 00:07:07.441
- Destabilizing foreign governments.
- 00:07:07.441 --> 00:07:09.009
- You say that i feel like they're pretty bad.
- 00:07:09.009 --> 00:07:10.944
- They might be bad at it, but this and they think they
- 00:07:10.944 --> 00:07:12.746
- They like to think they're good.
- 00:07:12.746 --> 00:07:13.914
- So here's here's this is what's frustrates me.
- 00:07:13.914 --> 00:07:16.383
- And you said that they have to say this, but look at 159.
- 00:07:16.383 --> 00:07:19.052
- Let's go ahead and play this cut.
- 00:07:19.052 --> 00:07:20.320
- This from the weekend elite.
- 00:07:20.320 --> 00:07:21.522
- Elissa slotkin admitting that democrats lied
- 00:07:21.522 --> 00:07:24.892
- About president trump issuing illegal orders to the military.
- 00:07:24.892 --> 00:07:27.594
- 159 let's talk right now.
- 00:07:27.594 --> 00:07:29.830
- Do you believe president trump has issued any illegal orders?
- 00:07:29.830 --> 00:07:34.768
- To my knowledge, i am not aware of things that are illegal,
- 00:07:34.768 --> 00:07:38.338
- But certainly there are some legal gymnastics
- 00:07:38.338 --> 00:07:40.841
- That are going on with these caribbean strikes
- 00:07:40.841 --> 00:07:43.143
- And everything related to venezuela.
- 00:07:43.143 --> 00:07:44.845
- Oh, so there it is.
- 00:07:44.845 --> 00:07:47.447
- He hasn't done anything illegal.
- 00:07:47.447 --> 00:07:48.949
- We just, out of the blue, decided to throw up a flare.
- 00:07:48.949 --> 00:07:51.919
- He might we already might.
- 00:07:51.919 --> 00:07:54.154
- We. he were worried that there might be another pandemic.
- 00:07:54.154 --> 00:07:57.424
- We're worried that there might be a economic collapse.
- 00:07:57.424 --> 00:08:00.193
- Worried about a lot of things.
- 00:08:00.193 --> 00:08:01.328
- It doesn't mean you go out and make a video.
- 00:08:01.328 --> 00:08:03.564
- I mean, this is
- 00:08:03.564 --> 00:08:04.631
- This is this is what i think has a lot of people's,
- 00:08:04.631 --> 00:08:06.733
- Hair on their, their back there.
- 00:08:06.733 --> 00:08:08.368
- Next up.
- 00:08:08.368 --> 00:08:09.970
- And that is the fact that out of the blue,
- 00:08:09.970 --> 00:08:11.672
- These people just did this video
- 00:08:11.672 --> 00:08:14.641
- And they are hinting at something.
- 00:08:14.641 --> 00:08:17.044
- There's something very fishy,
- 00:08:17.044 --> 00:08:18.412
- Very underhanded going on here.
- 00:08:18.412 --> 00:08:21.281
- You know, there's a
- 00:08:21.748 --> 00:08:22.749
- There is a lot of people that are suggesting
- 00:08:22.749 --> 00:08:24.484
- That this is seeding the ground for something
- 00:08:24.484 --> 00:08:26.587
- Terrible in the future, or some other sort of color
- 00:08:26.587 --> 00:08:29.590
- Revolution esque action.
- 00:08:29.590 --> 00:08:31.124
- And i think that's why we're all like,
- 00:08:31.124 --> 00:08:32.626
- Kind of it got our attention
- 00:08:32.626 --> 00:08:37.297
- That christmas morning.
- 00:08:37.798 --> 00:08:39.399
- Wise men brought gifts from outside the holy land.
- 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:44.204
- But now that the war is over,
- 00:08:44.838 --> 00:08:47.841
- This holy land and her people
- 00:08:47.841 --> 00:08:49.743
- Are still carrying deep wounded.
- 00:08:49.743 --> 00:08:52.512
- Many of the elderly are alone and suffering
- 00:08:52.512 --> 00:08:56.183
- Like the wise men or wise women.
- 00:08:56.883 --> 00:09:00.120
- When you open your heart and give a special holiday food
- 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:04.791
- Box to someone here in israel
- 00:09:04.791 --> 00:09:07.494
- This christmas chronicles season.
- 00:09:07.494 --> 00:09:10.564
- People like hannah who can't buy food.
- 00:09:10.564 --> 00:09:14.935
- That's where the fellowship is called to feed the hungry.
- 00:09:14.935 --> 00:09:19.172
- Please call, scan or go online now to help rush emergency
- 00:09:19.172 --> 00:09:23.243
- Food and healing to elderly jews
- 00:09:23.243 --> 00:09:25.345
- And their christian neighbors struggling
- 00:09:25.345 --> 00:09:27.114
- To rebuild their lives from the war.
- 00:09:27.114 --> 00:09:29.282
- What will happen when we make this holy day season?
- 00:09:29.282 --> 00:09:34.855
- Holy indeed.
- 00:09:34.855 --> 00:09:36.994
- Holy indeed.
- 00:09:36.994 --> 00:09:42.098
- We've got a couple emails here, blake.
- 00:09:42.932 --> 00:09:44.734
- We got a bunch of good emails
- 00:09:44.734 --> 00:09:45.702
- In that freedom at charlie kirk.
- 00:09:45.702 --> 00:09:47.537
- Dot com freedom at charlie kirk.com.
- 00:09:47.537 --> 00:09:49.406
- First i want to shout out
- 00:09:49.406 --> 00:09:50.306
- Nancy, who just messaged just to say
- 00:09:50.306 --> 00:09:51.875
- That she was just baptized at the age of 63,
- 00:09:51.875 --> 00:09:54.110
- And she gives charlie credit for that decision.
- 00:09:54.110 --> 00:09:56.980
- Thank you very much.
- 00:09:56.980 --> 00:09:57.781
- God bless you, nancy.
- 00:09:57.781 --> 00:09:59.182
- Wanted to shout that out.
- 00:09:59.182 --> 00:10:00.850
- We got an email from one of our biggest fans,
- 00:10:00.850 --> 00:10:03.453
- Steve at american tactics as he, sends us
- 00:10:03.453 --> 00:10:07.357
- A bible verse every day
- 00:10:07.357 --> 00:10:08.525
- Along with a lot of responses to steve.
- 00:10:08.525 --> 00:10:10.026
- And he says, senator mark kelly accused
- 00:10:10.026 --> 00:10:13.363
- President trump of calling for kelly's execution.
- 00:10:13.363 --> 00:10:16.199
- I claim balderdash on that accusation.
- 00:10:16.199 --> 00:10:19.769
- As a lifelong resident of arizona,
- 00:10:19.769 --> 00:10:21.504
- This pathetic excuse of an elected official
- 00:10:21.504 --> 00:10:24.841
- Who is a transplant
- 00:10:24.841 --> 00:10:26.042
- Has placed an enormous stain on the great state of arizona.
- 00:10:26.042 --> 00:10:29.212
- We need to bring arizona back to full on red.
- 00:10:29.212 --> 00:10:32.048
- Amen.
- 00:10:32.282 --> 00:10:32.982
- Steve, we're working on that.
- 00:10:32.982 --> 00:10:34.417
- Obviously, we're going to keep working.
- 00:10:34.417 --> 00:10:36.252
- Yeah.
- 00:10:36.252 --> 00:10:36.820
- I mean, he's, you know,
- 00:10:36.820 --> 00:10:38.088
- What's funny about him is i look at mark kelly.
- 00:10:38.088 --> 00:10:40.457
- You know, he here he is invoking the name of charlie.
- 00:10:40.457 --> 00:10:43.159
- You know, because president trump said,
- 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:44.527
- You know, he's doing seditious things.
- 00:10:44.527 --> 00:10:46.029
- So obviously
- 00:10:46.029 --> 00:10:47.097
- One of the potential penalties is the death penalty.
- 00:10:47.097 --> 00:10:49.766
- Okay. that's that's i get it.
- 00:10:49.766 --> 00:10:51.801
- That's inflammatory.
- 00:10:51.801 --> 00:10:52.902
- That's that's probably the max probably not going now.
- 00:10:52.902 --> 00:10:55.238
- Now grace sent us a
- 00:10:55.238 --> 00:10:57.173
- Hold up for him to bring up charlie's name is is.
- 00:10:57.173 --> 00:11:00.844
- I just i find it really despicable, actually.
- 00:11:00.844 --> 00:11:03.580
- And so anyways, go ahead greg.
- 00:11:03.580 --> 00:11:05.148
- Well, grace says, come on, guys.
- 00:11:05.148 --> 00:11:07.383
- Charlie would demand we arrest and charge
- 00:11:07.383 --> 00:11:10.553
- Constitutional justice.
- 00:11:10.553 --> 00:11:11.888
- Yes, to death penalty.
- 00:11:11.888 --> 00:11:13.523
- I am calling for the military.
- 00:11:13.523 --> 00:11:15.725
- Here's phyllis. of course.
- 00:11:15.725 --> 00:11:17.026
- They should all be convicted of this, of sedition.
- 00:11:17.026 --> 00:11:19.429
- They are all guilty of trying
- 00:11:19.429 --> 00:11:20.430
- To undermine the president of united states.
- 00:11:20.430 --> 00:11:21.965
- Nothing will happen, though.
- 00:11:21.965 --> 00:11:23.266
- They are getting away with everything.
- 00:11:23.266 --> 00:11:24.768
- Well, i think this is i think, you
- 00:11:24.768 --> 00:11:26.136
- Know, general,
- 00:11:26.136 --> 00:11:27.103
- There is a feeling of frustration
- 00:11:27.103 --> 00:11:28.571
- That some of these people, these
- 00:11:28.571 --> 00:11:30.039
- These wrongdoers, these people that have,
- 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:32.509
- I think, done illegal things and it's been proven
- 00:11:32.509 --> 00:11:35.578
- And they keep getting away with it.
- 00:11:35.578 --> 00:11:36.780
- This, this, this is a
- 00:11:36.780 --> 00:11:38.081
- This is a video, a social media video
- 00:11:38.081 --> 00:11:40.116
- That was designed to be provocative and cute.
- 00:11:40.116 --> 00:11:42.218
- But the problem is the underlying message
- 00:11:42.218 --> 00:11:44.020
- Here, blake, was that they were undermining and sowing doubt.
- 00:11:44.020 --> 00:11:47.624
- And that
- 00:11:47.624 --> 00:11:48.057
- And by the way,
- 00:11:48.057 --> 00:11:49.159
- That you have to be sedition is a dicey word to use.
- 00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:51.995
- That's as i like to point out,
- 00:11:51.995 --> 00:11:53.630
- Charlie, treason is defined in the constitution.
- 00:11:53.630 --> 00:11:56.099
- It's defined narrowly.
- 00:11:56.099 --> 00:11:57.734
- As you know, it has to be levying war
- 00:11:57.734 --> 00:12:00.136
- Against the united states or giving aid and comfort.
- 00:12:00.136 --> 00:12:02.105
- And you need at least two witnesses.
- 00:12:02.105 --> 00:12:03.740
- That's all because our founders knew english history
- 00:12:03.740 --> 00:12:06.643
- And in english
- 00:12:06.643 --> 00:12:07.710
- History, treason and sedition, you know, related laws
- 00:12:07.710 --> 00:12:10.847
- Were used a lot for domestic political reasons
- 00:12:10.847 --> 00:12:13.650
- Against, you know, just domestic foes.
- 00:12:13.650 --> 00:12:16.452
- And they were very worried about that.
- 00:12:16.452 --> 00:12:17.921
- And we saw that ourselves.
- 00:12:17.921 --> 00:12:19.155
- We saw that with january 6th, where they were hunting around
- 00:12:19.155 --> 00:12:22.325
- To bring a sedition case against president trump,
- 00:12:22.325 --> 00:12:24.828
- Against his supporters.
- 00:12:24.828 --> 00:12:26.896
- In the end,
- 00:12:26.896 --> 00:12:28.131
- They settled for mostly just indicting hundreds and hundreds
- 00:12:28.131 --> 00:12:30.967
- Of his followers and convicted and sending them to prison.
- 00:12:30.967 --> 00:12:33.703
- And we were very angry at that.
- 00:12:33.703 --> 00:12:35.772
- We were very angry at that overreach
- 00:12:35.772 --> 00:12:37.006
- And quite plausibly, that overreach is
- 00:12:37.006 --> 00:12:39.642
- Why trump is president.
- 00:12:39.642 --> 00:12:40.877
- Again, it's important both there's both damage
- 00:12:40.877 --> 00:12:43.813
- You can do to the country by really aggressively
- 00:12:43.813 --> 00:12:46.783
- Pursuing this, and also damage you can do
- 00:12:46.783 --> 00:12:49.652
- To yourself politically.
- 00:12:49.652 --> 00:12:50.687
- And you always have to take account for that.
- 00:12:50.687 --> 00:12:51.955
- Well, and here's what i will say.
- 00:12:51.955 --> 00:12:53.389
- You know,
- 00:12:53.389 --> 00:12:54.457
- When you talk about overreach,
- 00:12:54.457 --> 00:12:55.692
- There is a clip here from mark kelly.
- 00:12:55.692 --> 00:12:57.894
- Listen, i find mark kelly to be pretty,
- 00:12:57.894 --> 00:13:00.563
- Pretty despicable, actually, i, i find
- 00:13:00.563 --> 00:13:03.299
- I feel like i see right through mark kelly.
- 00:13:03.299 --> 00:13:05.702
- I don't see the strength that other people see.
- 00:13:05.702 --> 00:13:08.872
- Or this, like, stand up serviceman
- 00:13:08.872 --> 00:13:11.040
- That served his country.
- 00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:12.408
- And like i said, there is an apple
- 00:13:12.408 --> 00:13:13.576
- File on mark kelly in the state.
- 00:13:13.576 --> 00:13:15.111
- But here's what's interesting.
- 00:13:15.111 --> 00:13:16.379
- I do agree with you that i'm not sure how far
- 00:13:16.379 --> 00:13:19.949
- We want to take this fight from a political standpoint.
- 00:13:19.949 --> 00:13:22.085
- Listen, you in the base, you in the audience.
- 00:13:22.085 --> 00:13:23.753
- You get what he was trying to do.
- 00:13:23.753 --> 00:13:25.121
- He's undermining the president
- 00:13:25.121 --> 00:13:26.356
- Of united states, sowing doubt, sowing confusion.
- 00:13:26.356 --> 00:13:29.292
- But he has this ace in the hole. and you got it.
- 00:13:29.292 --> 00:13:31.194
- You got to acknowledge it. you got it.
- 00:13:31.194 --> 00:13:32.629
- When you're
- 00:13:32.629 --> 00:13:33.663
- Going to fight a battle, you got to understand
- 00:13:33.663 --> 00:13:34.931
- What you have in your favor, what is working against you.
- 00:13:34.931 --> 00:13:37.567
- Play 161 donald trump called for my execution.
- 00:13:37.567 --> 00:13:42.672
- I know a little bit about political violence.
- 00:13:42.672 --> 00:13:45.074
- My wife gabby was nearly assassinated.
- 00:13:45.074 --> 00:13:47.944
- She was shot in the head because of political violence.
- 00:13:47.944 --> 00:13:50.847
- She nearly died.
- 00:13:50.847 --> 00:13:52.548
- These are the kind of threats that this president makes,
- 00:13:52.548 --> 00:13:56.286
- Not just to me, some of my colleagues as well.
- 00:13:56.286 --> 00:13:59.122
- Just this week, he did this, threatened our lives,
- 00:13:59.122 --> 00:14:02.525
- Said we should be hanged because of something we said.
- 00:14:02.525 --> 00:14:06.863
- So he's got this trump card, if you will.
- 00:14:06.863 --> 00:14:09.933
- And it is what happened to his wife is is egregious terrible.
- 00:14:09.933 --> 00:14:14.470
- I mean, especially in the wake
- 00:14:14.470 --> 00:14:15.505
- Of what happened to charlie, i get it.
- 00:14:15.505 --> 00:14:17.106
- So you just have to be careful about the battle
- 00:14:17.106 --> 00:14:19.642
- You're going to fight now.
- 00:14:19.642 --> 00:14:20.810
- That's why i say, listen, he's going to get investigated.
- 00:14:20.810 --> 00:14:22.312
- The white house is saying that they fully support it.
- 00:14:22.312 --> 00:14:25.214
- You cannot
- 00:14:25.214 --> 00:14:26.416
- Have a functioning military when you have elected leaders,
- 00:14:26.416 --> 00:14:29.319
- Especially of the profile, mark kelly and slotkin saying,
- 00:14:29.319 --> 00:14:32.588
- You know, don't trust the commander in chief, right?
- 00:14:32.588 --> 00:14:35.158
- That is sowing discord within the ranks.
- 00:14:35.158 --> 00:14:37.093
- The white house is supporting of of this investigation.
- 00:14:37.093 --> 00:14:39.495
- I think we're going to find ourselves in an administration
- 00:14:39.495 --> 00:14:42.398
- Administrative solution.
- 00:14:42.398 --> 00:14:43.566
- That's my prediction.
- 00:14:43.566 --> 00:14:49.238
- That christmas morning.
- 00:14:49.739 --> 00:14:51.341
- Wise men brought gifts from outside the holy land.
- 00:14:51.341 --> 00:14:56.145
- But now that the war is over,
- 00:14:56.779 --> 00:14:59.782
- This holy land and her people
- 00:14:59.782 --> 00:15:01.684
- Are still carrying deep wounded.
- 00:15:01.684 --> 00:15:04.454
- Many of the elderly are alone and suffering
- 00:15:04.454 --> 00:15:08.124
- Like the wise men or wise women.
- 00:15:08.825 --> 00:15:12.061
- When you open your heart and give a special holiday food
- 00:15:12.061 --> 00:15:16.733
- Box to someone here in israel
- 00:15:16.733 --> 00:15:19.435
- This christmas chronicles season.
- 00:15:19.435 --> 00:15:22.505
- People like hannah who can't buy food.
- 00:15:22.505 --> 00:15:26.876
- That's where the fellowship is called to feed the hungry.
- 00:15:26.876 --> 00:15:31.114
- Please call, scan or go online now to help rush emergency
- 00:15:31.114 --> 00:15:35.184
- Food and healing to elderly jews
- 00:15:35.184 --> 00:15:37.286
- And their christian neighbors struggling
- 00:15:37.286 --> 00:15:39.055
- To rebuild their lives from the war.
- 00:15:39.055 --> 00:15:41.224
- What will happen when we make this holy day season?
- 00:15:41.224 --> 00:15:46.796
- Holy indeed.
- 00:15:46.796 --> 00:15:48.003
- Holy indeed.
- 00:15:48.003 --> 00:15:54.673
- For more than two years,
- 00:15:55.207 --> 00:15:56.409
- We've watched israel walk through
- 00:15:56.409 --> 00:15:57.977
- Some of the hardest days in its history.
- 00:15:57.977 --> 00:16:00.479
- Today, israelis are beginning the long road of both physical
- 00:16:00.479 --> 00:16:04.283
- And spiritual healing.
- 00:16:04.283 --> 00:16:05.418
- Yael eckstein, president of the international fellowship
- 00:16:05.418 --> 00:16:08.220
- Of christians and jews, brings us an important update showing
- 00:16:08.220 --> 00:16:11.757
- How the needs of israel are far greater than anyone imagined.
- 00:16:11.757 --> 00:16:14.994
- How do you restore and renew an entire nation
- 00:16:14.994 --> 00:16:17.396
- That's been so deeply scarred and traumatized?
- 00:16:17.396 --> 00:16:19.632
- After october 7th,
- 00:16:19.632 --> 00:16:21.233
- Here's more from yael
- 00:16:21.233 --> 00:16:22.735
- With what the fellowship is doing right now in israel.
- 00:16:22.735 --> 00:16:25.304
- That's nothing short of extraordinary.
- 00:16:25.304 --> 00:16:27.406
- Take a look.
- 00:16:27.406 --> 00:16:35.881
- Shalom, andrew.
- 00:16:36.248 --> 00:16:37.650
- I'm here.
- 00:16:37.650 --> 00:16:38.684
- And i stood around 20 miles from the gaza border.
- 00:16:38.684 --> 00:16:42.288
- Behind me is a nearly completed rehabilitation center
- 00:16:42.288 --> 00:16:45.591
- For injured soldiers.
- 00:16:45.591 --> 00:16:46.725
- And the fellowship is so proud to help provide.
- 00:16:46.725 --> 00:16:49.562
- That will help over 5000 wounded soldiers
- 00:16:49.562 --> 00:16:53.165
- And their families.
- 00:16:53.165 --> 00:16:55.000
- I realize that this is just one drop of
- 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:58.304
- The needs on the ground, and yet it is urgent.
- 00:16:58.304 --> 00:17:02.041
- There are over a hundred thousand israelis who have been
- 00:17:02.041 --> 00:17:07.246
- Directly impacted by war and death since october 7th.
- 00:17:07.246 --> 00:17:13.119
- Per capita, that's about 3.7 million americans.
- 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:18.190
- And on my new name.
- 00:17:18.190 --> 00:17:19.225
- And tell me,
- 00:17:19.225 --> 00:17:20.426
- Even though we are in ceasefire and hopefully it won't be
- 00:17:20.426 --> 00:17:23.662
- Very long, the aftermath of october 7th
- 00:17:23.662 --> 00:17:27.266
- And this two year war will be with us for generations here.
- 00:17:27.266 --> 00:17:32.271
- We're going to have the sign
- 00:17:32.271 --> 00:17:33.806
- Thanking the fellowship for all their support.
- 00:17:33.806 --> 00:17:36.108
- To make a clinic that's devoted to returned hostages
- 00:17:36.108 --> 00:17:39.712
- And their family members.
- 00:17:39.712 --> 00:17:41.647
- So many
- 00:17:41.881 --> 00:17:42.681
- People need ongoing rehabilitation.
- 00:17:42.681 --> 00:17:45.684
- We need to scale up everything.
- 00:17:45.684 --> 00:17:48.487
- We have a generation of brave heroes who have lost limbs.
- 00:17:48.487 --> 00:17:53.159
- And we can't neglect now.
- 00:17:53.159 --> 00:17:55.661
- We need to make sure that they have the tools,
- 00:17:55.661 --> 00:17:58.497
- The encouragement, the support of some way
- 00:17:58.497 --> 00:18:02.801
- To go on living meaningful lives both for themselves
- 00:18:02.801 --> 00:18:06.405
- Out walking, and for the future of this nation.
- 00:18:06.405 --> 00:18:10.042
- First of all, it feels good because for someone who is not
- 00:18:10.042 --> 00:18:13.345
- People walking at the moment, just walking, it is amazing.
- 00:18:13.345 --> 00:18:17.650
- I'm young, i'm fit,
- 00:18:17.650 --> 00:18:19.685
- And i need to keep my body that the best possible shape.
- 00:18:19.685 --> 00:18:23.355
- Happy.
- 00:18:23.556 --> 00:18:24.056
- Happy to walk again.
- 00:18:24.056 --> 00:18:26.559
- As israelis were beginning to move past
- 00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.728
- What happened on october 7th, and now we're asking
- 00:18:29.728 --> 00:18:34.366
- How do we help tens of thousands
- 00:18:34.366 --> 00:18:37.036
- Still grieving from october 7th.
- 00:18:37.036 --> 00:18:40.906
- Over 35,000 rockets, missiles and drones were fired
- 00:18:41.907 --> 00:18:45.878
- Here at tiny israel in the span of two years.
- 00:18:45.878 --> 00:18:49.148
- This is a mother and her five children
- 00:18:49.982 --> 00:18:52.585
- Who sadly don't have a home to go back to.
- 00:18:52.585 --> 00:18:56.922
- Yo yo.
- 00:18:57.122 --> 00:18:59.592
- The boom
- 00:18:59.592 --> 00:19:01.093
- And the fuzzy that i fell on the floor
- 00:19:01.093 --> 00:19:02.461
- With her. and after a few seconds
- 00:19:02.461 --> 00:19:04.063
- I realized she was on the floor.
- 00:19:04.063 --> 00:19:06.365
- I really thought i lost her.
- 00:19:06.365 --> 00:19:07.900
- Everything was a big chaos.
- 00:19:07.900 --> 00:19:09.468
- I got a voice.
- 00:19:09.468 --> 00:19:11.136
- I got the gun.
- 00:19:11.136 --> 00:19:13.205
- Also, i didn't understand.
- 00:19:13.205 --> 00:19:15.241
- I've never seen myself as needing to ask for help.
- 00:19:15.241 --> 00:19:18.177
- I didn't realize that.
- 00:19:18.177 --> 00:19:19.245
- Now i'm someone needing the help enough to explain.
- 00:19:19.245 --> 00:19:21.814
- That's when the fellowship moves in
- 00:19:21.814 --> 00:19:23.616
- And provide them with money that they can go
- 00:19:23.616 --> 00:19:25.351
- And buy what they need to provide them
- 00:19:25.351 --> 00:19:27.553
- With a food box and supplies for the baby that they need.
- 00:19:27.553 --> 00:19:31.423
- They wouldn't have been able to get through this time
- 00:19:31.423 --> 00:19:34.193
- Without us standing with the help.
- 00:19:34.193 --> 00:19:36.962
- What i see on the ground at the fellowship
- 00:19:36.962 --> 00:19:39.431
- After two years of war, there are more people
- 00:19:39.431 --> 00:19:41.900
- Who need food.
- 00:19:41.900 --> 00:19:43.335
- We're elderly that need our support.
- 00:19:43.335 --> 00:19:45.771
- More widows who are turning to us,
- 00:19:45.771 --> 00:19:48.307
- Desperately asking for help.
- 00:19:48.307 --> 00:19:51.143
- There are so many elderly people that are on their own
- 00:19:51.143 --> 00:19:55.014
- That have nobody to come in there to help them,
- 00:19:55.014 --> 00:19:57.783
- And that the prices have gone up
- 00:19:57.783 --> 00:19:59.885
- Instead of going down, they went up
- 00:19:59.885 --> 00:20:01.920
- And they can't afford to go to the supermarket anymore.
- 00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:04.623
- So we had to add to the numbers that we served
- 00:20:04.623 --> 00:20:07.993
- Until now by several thousand.
- 00:20:07.993 --> 00:20:11.063
- Just in this one, standing in this one city, it's incredible
- 00:20:11.063 --> 00:20:14.633
- Because the prices have gone up so much because of the war.
- 00:20:14.633 --> 00:20:18.637
- It's the elderly who are hurting the most.
- 00:20:18.637 --> 00:20:20.973
- They are hurting the most. destitute.
- 00:20:20.973 --> 00:20:23.242
- Among them
- 00:20:23.242 --> 00:20:24.643
- Are about 400 holocaust survivors
- 00:20:24.643 --> 00:20:28.213
- Living in our neighborhood
- 00:20:28.213 --> 00:20:30.215
- Who have no way to come to and ask, how can you help me?
- 00:20:30.215 --> 00:20:34.153
- And for our volunteers that come to their house,
- 00:20:34.153 --> 00:20:36.822
- Bring them with food, they would be really lost.
- 00:20:36.822 --> 00:20:39.958
- Many people look at what's happening
- 00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:42.828
- On the ground here in israel and think that the needs
- 00:20:42.828 --> 00:20:45.798
- Have ended.
- 00:20:45.798 --> 00:20:47.266
- But in so many ways, our call
- 00:20:47.266 --> 00:20:50.469
- To help feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the poor.
- 00:20:50.469 --> 00:20:54.273
- They are just beginning.
- 00:20:54.273 --> 00:20:56.508
- And i pray to god, how will we meet these needs, lord?
- 00:20:56.508 --> 00:21:00.579
- And i hear the words, live
- 00:21:01.146 --> 00:21:03.382
- Your faith in action.
- 00:21:03.382 --> 00:21:06.685
- As christians and jews,
- 00:21:07.186 --> 00:21:09.288
- We start with this idea that emunah told me here,
- 00:21:09.288 --> 00:21:13.392
- Which translates as the righteous person
- 00:21:13.392 --> 00:21:16.962
- Will live according to his faith.
- 00:21:16.962 --> 00:21:19.231
- Not just believing in god, but specifically living
- 00:21:19.231 --> 00:21:22.835
- A faith tested and proven
- 00:21:22.835 --> 00:21:25.971
- By our actions.
- 00:21:26.338 --> 00:21:28.874
- True faith.
- 00:21:28.874 --> 00:21:30.008
- Living faith moves your feet.
- 00:21:30.008 --> 00:21:32.778
- It moves your hands and it moves your heart.
- 00:21:32.778 --> 00:21:36.181
- Christians and jews, we will renew.
- 00:21:36.181 --> 00:21:40.452
- You will help soothe the soul of this nation.
- 00:21:40.452 --> 00:21:44.089
- We will restore lives, heal trauma,
- 00:21:44.089 --> 00:21:47.259
- Feed the hungry and care for the widows and orphans.
- 00:21:47.259 --> 00:21:53.499
- And so tbn family.
- 00:21:53.932 --> 00:21:56.368
- I don't despair.
- 00:21:56.368 --> 00:21:58.404
- I look at the needs in israel.
- 00:21:58.404 --> 00:22:00.572
- And i see your followers.
- 00:22:00.572 --> 00:22:02.908
- I hear your voice.
- 00:22:02.908 --> 00:22:04.276
- And i know by faith we will live.
- 00:22:04.276 --> 00:22:08.814
- And by faith we will be able
- 00:22:08.814 --> 00:22:11.383
- To bring comfort.
- 00:22:11.383 --> 00:22:14.586
- My sincere thanks to yael eckstein
- 00:22:14.586 --> 00:22:16.755
- And everyone at the fellowship for this remarkable ministry.
- 00:22:16.755 --> 00:22:19.191
- This is a powerful example of what faith looks like
- 00:22:19.191 --> 00:22:23.195
- In action.
- 00:22:23.195 --> 00:22:23.862
- Please continue praying for
- 00:22:23.862 --> 00:22:25.431
- And supporting the people of israel
- 00:22:25.431 --> 00:22:27.266
- During this season of healing and restoration by faith.
- 00:22:27.266 --> 00:22:30.436
- The fellowship is stepping forward
- 00:22:30.436 --> 00:22:32.337
- To do even more caring for injured soldiers, families
- 00:22:32.337 --> 00:22:35.741
- And the elderly.
