  • With two incredible facts on this resurrection sunday
  • 00:01:11.092 --> 00:01:14.662
  • Weekend. first, since 1960, more muslims have left islam and come
  • 00:01:14.662 --> 00:01:20.768
  • To faith in jesus christ than in the last 14 centuries put
  • 00:01:20.768 --> 00:01:25.439
  • Together. that's incredible. what's more, in 1967, when i was
  • 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:29.777

  • 00:01:29.777 --> 00:01:33.581
  • Believed that jesus was and is the messiah. today, that number
  • 00:01:33.581 --> 00:01:36.984

  • 00:01:36.984 --> 00:01:41.355
  • Among jews and muslims, believing in the crucified and
  • 00:01:41.355 --> 00:01:45.526

  • President donald trump said two weeks ago. and believe me, he
  • 00:02:03.043 --> 00:02:07.281

  • 00:04:59.453 --> 00:05:03.223
  • Trip, a fruitful trip. but i can tell you that lin and i are
  • 00:05:03.223 --> 00:05:06.160
  • Grateful, very grateful to be back home for a number of
  • 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.697
  • Reasons. first, we had the opportunity to host nearly 50
  • 00:05:09.697 --> 00:05:13.834
  • Evangelical pastors and ministry leaders and their wives on a
  • 00:05:13.834 --> 00:05:17.304
  • Joshua fund solidarity mission all across israel in cooperation
  • 00:05:17.304 --> 00:05:22.076
  • With a wonderful us based ministry called faith wins. and
  • 00:05:22.076 --> 00:05:26.347
  • I have to say that it was even more special to have them come
  • 00:05:26.347 --> 00:05:31.685
  • Amidst a resumption of war, because it just showed leon and
  • 00:05:31.685 --> 00:05:35.589
  • Me how much they love the lord, how much they love israel, how
  • 00:05:35.589 --> 00:05:40.661
  • Much they love the jewish people, and just how much they
  • 00:05:40.661 --> 00:05:44.298
  • They want to understand what the holy spirit is doing here in the
  • 00:05:44.298 --> 00:05:48.936
  • Epicenter, and how they can consider getting involved in
  • 00:05:48.936 --> 00:05:52.539
  • Blessing israel and her neighbors through the joshua
  • 00:05:52.539 --> 00:05:55.542
  • Fund, to really impact the training and the equipping and
  • 00:05:55.542 --> 00:05:58.245
  • The refreshing of israeli and palestinian pastors and
  • 00:05:58.245 --> 00:06:02.616
  • Congregations sponsoring humanitarian relief projects
  • 00:06:02.616 --> 00:06:05.853
  • Among the poor and the needy and elderly holocaust survivors, and
  • 00:06:05.853 --> 00:06:10.624
  • Helping the local church here advance the great commission and
  • 00:06:10.624 --> 00:06:15.929
  • Take the gospel all over the land where it was first
  • 00:06:15.929 --> 00:06:20.167
  • Preached. now, there is a second reason that lynn and i are so
  • 00:06:20.167 --> 00:06:23.470
  • Grateful to be back home here in israel, and that's because we
  • 00:06:23.470 --> 00:06:27.007
  • Had the opportunity to celebrate passover with a wonderful and
  • 00:06:27.007 --> 00:06:31.812
  • Courageous messianic congregation that the joshua
  • 00:06:31.812 --> 00:06:34.448
  • Fund supports in kiryat shmona. that's the largest city, israeli
  • 00:06:34.448 --> 00:06:39.052
  • City in the north of israel. 20,000 people, though they were
  • 00:06:39.052 --> 00:06:42.990
  • All evacuated when the war began. now, this is a
  • 00:06:42.990 --> 00:06:46.126
  • Congregation that's led by pastor israel illouz, whom we
  • 00:06:46.126 --> 00:06:49.763
  • Profiled on the rosenberg report and on all israel news. and this
  • 00:06:49.763 --> 00:06:53.500
  • Is a congregation whose building was nearly completely destroyed
  • 00:06:53.500 --> 00:06:58.772
  • When a hezbollah missile landed right outside the congregation's
  • 00:06:58.772 --> 00:07:04.077
  • Front door last may. by god's grace, no one was hurt or killed
  • 00:07:04.077 --> 00:07:09.616
  • In that brutal attack. and by god's grace, the congregation
  • 00:07:09.616 --> 00:07:13.420
  • Has pulled itself together and fixed up the building and has
  • 00:07:13.420 --> 00:07:17.524
  • Just started meeting again, worshiping, studying the
  • 00:07:17.524 --> 00:07:20.894
  • Scriptures again in that very building in kiryat shmona. and
  • 00:07:20.894 --> 00:07:25.065
  • What a joy it was to be with them for their first passover
  • 00:07:25.065 --> 00:07:30.103
  • Seder back in their building, and to be able to pray with them
  • 00:07:30.103 --> 00:07:34.441
  • And to be able to thank them for being such a bright light in the
  • 00:07:34.441 --> 00:07:40.047
  • North, in such dark times, with the finances that were provided
  • 00:07:40.047 --> 00:07:43.884
  • By the joshua fund. this congregation think about this.
  • 00:07:43.884 --> 00:07:46.720
  • They have cooked and distributed 140,000 amazing gourmet hot
  • 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:54.595
  • Meals for israeli soldiers and police officers who are serving
  • 00:07:54.595 --> 00:07:58.632
  • On the front lines of this war over the last 18 months. that's
  • 00:07:58.632 --> 00:08:02.636
  • Right. you heard me correctly. they have cooked, personally,
  • 00:08:02.636 --> 00:08:05.739
  • Cooked and delivered and distributed more than 140,000
  • 00:08:05.739 --> 00:08:10.077
  • Hot meals over the past 18 months. and what's more, they
  • 00:08:10.077 --> 00:08:14.381
  • Have consistently delivered not just hot meals, but fresh
  • 00:08:14.381 --> 00:08:19.219
  • Groceries for the elderly, the infirm, and for shut ins who
  • 00:08:19.219 --> 00:08:23.524
  • Simply could not or would not evacuate from kiryat shmona.
  • 00:08:23.524 --> 00:08:27.828
  • Despite the fact that hezbollah missiles have been raining down
  • 00:08:27.828 --> 00:08:31.031
  • On that city almost nonstop. now things have gotten better up
  • 00:08:31.031 --> 00:08:35.035
  • There. things are quieter, and i have to tell you, we love
  • 00:08:35.035 --> 00:08:38.238
  • Pastoral israel news. we love his wife, marty. we love their
  • 00:08:38.238 --> 00:08:41.074
  • Family and their team. and i can't think of a more perfect
  • 00:08:41.074 --> 00:08:45.445
  • Place to celebrate the great jewish holiday and join them in
  • 00:08:45.445 --> 00:08:50.150
  • The classic passover prayer. lord, they tried to kill us, but
  • 00:08:50.150 --> 00:08:55.589
  • You saved us. let's eat. coming up next on the rosenberg report,
  • 00:08:55.589 --> 00:09:00.827
  • What happened inside? prime minister netanyahu's hastily
  • 00:09:00.827 --> 00:09:04.731
  • Arranged second meeting with president trump. is trump trying
  • 00:09:04.731 --> 00:09:09.803
  • To strike a diplomatic deal with iran, or is he getting ready to
  • 00:09:09.803 --> 00:09:14.241
  • Go to war? find out when the rosenberg report continues on
  • 00:09:14.241 --> 00:09:18.845
  • Tbn right after the break. two weeks ago, president trump made
  • 00:09:18.845 --> 00:09:21.005
  • Tbn right after the break. two weeks ago, president trump made
  • 00:09:21.005 --> 00:09:28.989
  • A startling statement in a phone call to nbc news, quote, if they
  • 00:09:28.989 --> 00:09:34.928
  • The iranians don't make a deal, there will be bombing,
  • 00:09:34.928 --> 00:09:39.433
  • Bombing the likes of which they've never seen before.
  • 00:09:39.433 --> 00:09:44.004
  • Now, the rosenberg report can confirm that trump is
  • 00:09:44.004 --> 00:09:47.741
  • Getting ready for war. we've learned that his close friends,
  • 00:09:47.741 --> 00:09:52.045
  • Trump's close friends and advisers are urging him not to
  • 00:09:52.045 --> 00:09:56.383
  • Be taken in by the liars and cheats that make up the iranian
  • 00:09:56.383 --> 00:09:59.686
  • Regime. they are urging trump to expose the iranian leadership
  • 00:09:59.686 --> 00:10:04.224
  • For the evil regime that they are, and to launch massive
  • 00:10:04.224 --> 00:10:09.062
  • Military strikes to utterly destroy the iranian nuclear
  • 00:10:09.062 --> 00:10:12.866
  • Weapons program once and for all, and to do so by memorial
  • 00:10:12.866 --> 00:10:17.337
  • Day or perhaps july 4th at the latest. now, these american
  • 00:10:17.337 --> 00:10:23.510
  • Advisors and friends of the president, along with israeli
  • 00:10:23.510 --> 00:10:26.713
  • Prime minister benjamin netanyahu and other senior
  • 00:10:26.713 --> 00:10:30.283
  • Israeli officials, argue that the iranian regime has never
  • 00:10:30.283 --> 00:10:34.588
  • Been so weak. its nuclear sites have never been so vulnerable
  • 00:10:34.588 --> 00:10:39.559
  • Because israel took out all the air defenses around them last
  • 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.597
  • Fall. and yet they're saying that the time to take decisive
  • 00:10:43.597 --> 00:10:48.135
  • Action is running out or running out of time. if trump doesn't
  • 00:10:48.135 --> 00:10:53.173
  • Act soon, they say iran's supreme leader ali khamenei
  • 00:10:53.173 --> 00:10:57.678
  • Could secretly order his scientists to make a dash for a
  • 00:10:57.678 --> 00:11:03.316
  • Breakout capacity. what does that mean? it means that germany
  • 00:11:03.316 --> 00:11:07.320
  • Could order his team to suddenly, quickly and secretly
  • 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:12.626
  • Accelerate towards building six fully operational nuclear
  • 00:11:12.626 --> 00:11:16.997
  • Warheads with the highly enriched uranium that they
  • 00:11:16.997 --> 00:11:20.267
  • Already have. what's more, if president trump doesn't act
  • 00:11:20.267 --> 00:11:24.571
  • Soon, they say, what if? what if russia or communist china or
  • 00:11:24.571 --> 00:11:30.377
  • Both decide to suddenly sign a nato like treaty with the
  • 00:11:30.377 --> 00:11:36.483
  • Iranian regime, declaring that if any nation, the united
  • 00:11:36.483 --> 00:11:40.020
  • States, israel or anyone else launches military attacks
  • 00:11:40.020 --> 00:11:44.091
  • Against iran, then moscow and beijing will consider these
  • 00:11:44.091 --> 00:11:49.362
  • Attacks against themselves and will be engaged in war with iran
  • 00:11:49.362 --> 00:11:54.167
  • Against anyone that attacks. that is a horrible scenario. and
  • 00:11:54.167 --> 00:11:59.005
  • These advisers and these friends of trump are saying, look, the
  • 00:11:59.005 --> 00:12:02.042
  • Clock is ticking. the time is now. don't get suckered into a
  • 00:12:02.042 --> 00:12:07.214
  • Never ending round of iranian lies and tricks. some in some
  • 00:12:07.214 --> 00:12:12.185
  • Extended negotiations attack. now they're saying that's what
  • 00:12:12.185 --> 00:12:16.389
  • They're telling trump attack now destroy the iranian threat once
  • 00:12:16.389 --> 00:12:20.360
  • And for all. or it could be too late soon. it could be too late
  • 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:27.300
  • Soon. now, the good news is that president trump is listening to
  • 00:12:27.300 --> 00:12:30.704
  • Them. that's why he sent b-52 bombers. some of the biggest
  • 00:12:30.704 --> 00:12:34.941
  • Bomber aircraft the united states has. he's pre-positioned
  • 00:12:34.941 --> 00:12:37.944
  • Them near iran, along with other bombers and fighter jets. he put
  • 00:12:37.944 --> 00:12:43.049
  • Them in the middle east. why? because he's getting ready for
  • 00:12:43.049 --> 00:12:46.553
  • War. he just sent two us carrier aircraft carrier strike groups
  • 00:12:46.553 --> 00:12:50.924
  • To the middle east. why? because he's preparing for war. he just
  • 00:12:50.924 --> 00:12:55.762
  • Sent american missile defense batteries to the middle east.
  • 00:12:55.762 --> 00:12:59.900
  • Why? to get ready for war. now, at the same time, trump also
  • 00:12:59.900 --> 00:13:05.839
  • Wants a deal. like what? no. stay with me. trump sent a
  • 00:13:05.839 --> 00:13:10.710
  • Letter to the iranian leadership giving tehran's leadership two
  • 00:13:10.710 --> 00:13:16.249
  • Months to come to the table and negotiate a deal. a real deal, a
  • 00:13:16.249 --> 00:13:20.520
  • Good deal. the one that gets rid of dismantles iran's entire
  • 00:13:20.520 --> 00:13:25.192
  • Nuclear weapons program, or face the wrath of the united states
  • 00:13:25.192 --> 00:13:28.929
  • And israel. and iran is listening. iran said, okay,
  • 00:13:28.929 --> 00:13:34.534
  • We'll talk. and that's why last saturday, president trump's
  • 00:13:34.534 --> 00:13:37.671
  • Chief international envoy, his chief negotiator, steve witkoff,
  • 00:13:37.671 --> 00:13:42.876
  • Began high level negotiations with the iranian regime in the
  • 00:13:42.876 --> 00:13:47.714
  • Tiny gulf country of oman. now, how did the initial round of
  • 00:13:47.714 --> 00:13:52.252
  • Talks go? well, here's what president trump said saturday on
  • 00:13:52.252 --> 00:13:56.890
  • Air force one.
  • 00:13:56.890 --> 00:13:59.159
  • >> give us a readout on the iran talks. i think they're going
  • 00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:03.296
  • Okay. what was your what? well, i can't tell you because it
  • 00:14:03.296 --> 00:14:06.366
  • Doesn't nothing matters until you get it done. so i don't like
  • 00:14:06.366 --> 00:14:09.536
  • Talking about it, but it's going okay. the iran situation is
  • 00:14:09.536 --> 00:14:12.205
  • Going pretty good.
  • 00:14:12.205 --> 00:14:13.473
  • >> now, i have to tell you that netanyahu was blindsided last
  • 00:14:13.473 --> 00:14:16.776
  • Week when president trump told him over lunch at the white
  • 00:14:16.776 --> 00:14:21.047
  • House that he was beginning direct talks with iran and then
  • 00:14:21.047 --> 00:14:24.918
  • Announced such direct talks to the press, while trump and bibi
  • 00:14:24.918 --> 00:14:29.556
  • Sat side by side in the oval office. look, netanyahu is a
  • 00:14:29.556 --> 00:14:33.460
  • Smart guy, very experienced and cool under pressure. he's not
  • 00:14:33.460 --> 00:14:37.430
  • Going to signal his deep anxieties over the united
  • 00:14:37.430 --> 00:14:41.167
  • States. president trump opening direct talks with the iranians.
  • 00:14:41.167 --> 00:14:45.672
  • When bibi is nearly positive that the iranians have no
  • 00:14:45.672 --> 00:14:48.642
  • Intention of actually dismantling their entire nuclear
  • 00:14:48.642 --> 00:14:52.512
  • Program and letting the trump team box it up and cart it back
  • 00:14:52.512 --> 00:14:56.549
  • To the united states? bibi is not going to look as worried on
  • 00:14:56.549 --> 00:15:02.522
  • Camera in that room as he feels he. yes, i think he's very
  • 00:15:02.522 --> 00:15:06.726
  • Worried that the us, in theory, could get duped by the iranian
  • 00:15:06.726 --> 00:15:10.897
  • Regime, just like iran pulled the wool over the eyes of
  • 00:15:10.897 --> 00:15:14.367
  • President obama in the first iran nuclear deal. but bibi is
  • 00:15:14.367 --> 00:15:17.570
  • Not going to show that, right. so instead, bibi signaled his
  • 00:15:17.570 --> 00:15:21.474
  • Strong support for president trump's approach. take a look at
  • 00:15:21.474 --> 00:15:25.345
  • This clip.
  • 00:15:25.345 --> 00:15:26.479
  • >> and of course, we also discussed iran. look, we're both
  • 00:15:26.579 --> 00:15:29.282
  • United in the goal that iran does not ever get nuclear
  • 00:15:29.282 --> 00:15:34.087
  • Weapons. if it can be done diplomatically in a full way,
  • 00:15:34.087 --> 00:15:37.190
  • The way it was done in libya. i think that would be a good
  • 00:15:37.190 --> 00:15:40.894
  • Thing. but whatever happens, we have to make sure that iran does
  • 00:15:40.894 --> 00:15:44.698
  • Not have nuclear weapons.
  • 00:15:44.698 --> 00:15:46.633
  • >> what did he mean by the libyan model that he just
  • 00:15:46.633 --> 00:15:50.003
  • Referred to? well, he was recalling that after september
  • 00:15:50.003 --> 00:15:54.074
  • 11th, 2001, when then president george w bush invaded
  • 00:15:54.074 --> 00:15:59.846
  • Afghanistan to destroy al qaeda and bring down the taliban, and
  • 00:15:59.846 --> 00:16:04.651
  • Then invaded iraq to end the threat, the perceived threat of
  • 00:16:04.651 --> 00:16:09.222
  • Weapons of mass destruction in iraq and to bring down iraqi
  • 00:16:09.222 --> 00:16:13.793
  • President saddam hussein. the leaders of libya then got very,
  • 00:16:13.793 --> 00:16:18.832
  • Very nervous. in fact, libya's crazy dictator at the time,
  • 00:16:18.832 --> 00:16:23.236
  • Muammar qaddafi, became so nervous, so paranoid that his
  • 00:16:23.236 --> 00:16:28.875
  • Country, libya, was going to be the next to be invaded, to be
  • 00:16:28.875 --> 00:16:31.578
  • Attacked by president bush, that gaddafi voluntarily offered to
  • 00:16:31.578 --> 00:16:37.083
  • Let the united states come into libya, dismantle libya's entire
  • 00:16:37.083 --> 00:16:42.455
  • Nuclear weapons program, which was much more advanced than the
  • 00:16:42.455 --> 00:16:45.191
  • Us realized. box it up and take it back to america. and that's
  • 00:16:45.191 --> 00:16:50.230
  • Exactly what bush did. he peacefully ended the libyan
  • 00:16:50.230 --> 00:16:55.068
  • Nuclear threat once and for all without firing another
  • 00:16:55.068 --> 00:16:59.139
  • Shot. that's about the only deal netanyahu could accept
  • 00:16:59.139 --> 00:17:03.076
  • This sort of libyan model. o this sort of libyan model. a
  • 00:17:03.076 --> 00:17:04.244
  • This sort of libyan model. . this sort of libyan model. .
  • 00:17:04.244 --> 00:17:05.779
  • And rightly so. that's a good model. if it works, if iran is
  • 00:17:05.779 --> 00:17:10.550
  • Really willing to do that. but look, no american president has
  • 00:17:10.550 --> 00:17:14.687
  • Ever been tougher on iran than donald trump. and no american
  • 00:17:14.687 --> 00:17:19.793
  • President has ever been more pro-israel than donald trump.
  • 00:17:19.793 --> 00:17:24.130
  • But i need to be honest with you. president trump is sending
  • 00:17:24.130 --> 00:17:28.034
  • Mixed signals. take a look at what he said in the oval office
  • 00:17:28.034 --> 00:17:33.373
  • Just a few days ago.
  • 00:17:33.373 --> 00:17:34.641
  • >> mr. president, on iran, you said the other day that if they
  • 00:17:34.641 --> 00:17:37.544
  • Do not agree to a potential nuclear deal, that it would be
  • 00:17:37.544 --> 00:17:41.548
  • Very dangerous for them. what specifically?
  • 00:17:41.548 --> 00:17:43.383
  • >> they can't have a nuclear weapon.
  • 00:17:43.383 --> 00:17:45.385
  • >> do you mean military action, though, if they don't agree?
  • 00:17:45.385 --> 00:17:48.154
  • >> oh. if necessary.
  • 00:17:48.154 --> 00:17:49.622
  • >> absolutely, yeah.
  • 00:17:49.622 --> 00:17:51.257
  • >> and do you have a deadline for these folks?
  • 00:17:51.257 --> 00:17:53.560
  • >> i do. and you're talking about with iran? yes. yeah. do
  • 00:17:53.560 --> 00:17:57.297
  • You have something definitive.
  • 00:17:57.297 --> 00:17:58.698
  • >> this weekend, or do you see this as the start of a process?
  • 00:17:58.698 --> 00:18:02.302
  • Do you have a timeline?
  • 00:18:02.302 --> 00:18:03.536
  • >> we have a little time, but we don't have much time because
  • 00:18:03.536 --> 00:18:06.473
  • We're not going to let them have a nuclear weapon. can't let them
  • 00:18:06.473 --> 00:18:09.242
  • Have a nuclear. and we're going to let them thrive. i want them
  • 00:18:09.242 --> 00:18:13.179
  • To thrive. i want iran to be great. the only thing they can't
  • 00:18:13.179 --> 00:18:16.116
  • Have is a nuclear weapon.
  • 00:18:16.116 --> 00:18:18.118
  • >> okay. you just heard it. trump is being crystal clear
  • 00:18:18.118 --> 00:18:20.420
  • That he is willing to bomb iran if he has to, and he's willing
  • 00:18:20.420 --> 00:18:24.791
  • To work very closely with israel on that bombing campaign. he's
  • 00:18:24.791 --> 00:18:29.796
  • Being crystal clear that there is not much time for tehran to
  • 00:18:29.796 --> 00:18:33.666
  • Cut a deal, but he's also saying that he wants to be very
  • 00:18:33.666 --> 00:18:38.605
  • Generous to iran. if they make a good deal. he'll lift the
  • 00:18:38.605 --> 00:18:42.809
  • Economic sanctions that are currently bankrupting them, and
  • 00:18:42.809 --> 00:18:45.411
  • He'll let iran become great again. i'm going to let iran
  • 00:18:45.411 --> 00:18:50.283
  • Become great again. if they make a deal, they'll become rich
  • 00:18:50.283 --> 00:18:53.453
  • Again. they'll become great again. that is what worries
  • 00:18:53.453 --> 00:18:56.856
  • Israel. not my impression so much, maybe, but their bibi
  • 00:18:56.856 --> 00:19:01.327
  • Netanyahu and his senior team are worried because they think,
  • 00:19:01.327 --> 00:19:07.100
  • Why do we want to make iran's leadership great again? why
  • 00:19:07.100 --> 00:19:09.802
  • Would we let them become rich? yes, we want a deal. it's better
  • 00:19:09.802 --> 00:19:13.473
  • To do diplomacy than to bomb iran. but why would you let the
  • 00:19:13.473 --> 00:19:19.245
  • Iranian regime off the hook? because even without a nuclear
  • 00:19:19.245 --> 00:19:24.083
  • Weapons program, the iranian regime is the most dangerous
  • 00:19:24.083 --> 00:19:27.687
  • State sponsor of terror on the entire planet. right. we don't
  • 00:19:27.687 --> 00:19:31.591
  • Want such a wicked regime to get rich. we don't want them to have
  • 00:19:31.591 --> 00:19:37.197
  • Wealth pouring in because the economic sanctions have been
  • 00:19:37.197 --> 00:19:40.066
  • Removed. right? i mean, this is these are they're just going to
  • 00:19:40.066 --> 00:19:43.236
  • Use that money to do what? to fund terror. proxy organizations
  • 00:19:43.236 --> 00:19:48.274
  • Like hamas, hezbollah, the houthis and others, other
  • 00:19:48.274 --> 00:19:52.345
  • Jihadist groups in iraq and syria. the iranian people are
  • 00:19:52.345 --> 00:19:56.683
  • Desperately hoping that the united states will create the
  • 00:19:56.683 --> 00:19:59.919
  • Conditions for the iranian regime to collapse and be
  • 00:19:59.919 --> 00:20:03.489
  • Replaced by either a robust democracy or by a benign,
  • 00:20:03.489 --> 00:20:09.062
  • Moderate monarchy led by the crown prince reza pahlavi, the
  • 00:20:09.062 --> 00:20:14.167
  • Son of the late shah, a man who wants to make peace with israel.
  • 00:20:14.167 --> 00:20:18.338
  • He wants a peace treaty that he wants to call the cyrus accords.
  • 00:20:18.338 --> 00:20:22.408
  • That's what he wants to call him. this is a man whom i had
  • 00:20:22.408 --> 00:20:25.979
  • The opportunity, the honor, actually, of meeting and
  • 00:20:25.979 --> 00:20:28.047
  • Interviewing for the rosenberg report and all israel news when
  • 00:20:28.047 --> 00:20:30.883
  • He made his first ever visit to israel a few years ago. so what
  • 00:20:30.883 --> 00:20:36.856
  • Exactly are we heading towards? is trump really going to make a
  • 00:20:36.856 --> 00:20:40.693
  • Deal with tehran? a deal that could maybe dismantle the
  • 00:20:40.693 --> 00:20:45.798
  • Iranian nuclear program, but could prop up the iranian
  • 00:20:45.798 --> 00:20:48.868
  • Regime? or is trump really willing to launch a massive
  • 00:20:48.868 --> 00:20:53.873
  • Military strike to destroy the iranian nuclear threat once and
  • 00:20:53.873 --> 00:20:57.844
  • For all? honestly, i don't think that president trump even knows
  • 00:20:57.844 --> 00:21:01.914
  • At this point. okay, he's setting up himself for both
  • 00:21:01.914 --> 00:21:06.786
  • Scenarios. one reinforces the other. i don't think he knows
  • 00:21:06.786 --> 00:21:10.156
  • What he plans to do yet, so please pray for peace. but
  • 00:21:10.156 --> 00:21:14.861
  • Prepare for war. coming up next on the rosenberg report, why is
  • 00:21:14.861 --> 00:21:20.667
  • The price of gold soaring? is global instability from the war
  • 00:21:20.667 --> 00:21:25.505
  • In ukraine to the war in gaza, to the potential chinese
  • 00:21:25.505 --> 00:21:28.808
  • Invasion of taiwan and a possible us strike on iran
  • 00:21:28.808 --> 00:21:33.079
  • Driving prices up? or is it something else? and how can you
  • 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.249
  • Make gold work for you? find out when the rosenberg report
  • 00:21:36.249 --> 00:21:40.987
  • Continues on tbn.tv right after the break. why is the price of
  • 00:21:40.987 --> 00:21:44.001
  • Continues on tbn.tv right after the break. why is the price of
  • 00:21:44.001 --> 00:21:50.631
  • Gold soaring week after week? it's hitting one record after
  • 00:21:50.631 --> 00:21:55.502
  • Another. is global instability from the war in ukraine to the
  • 00:21:55.502 --> 00:21:59.440
  • War in gaza, to the potential chinese invasion of taiwan or
  • 00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.210
  • The u.s, israeli potential attack on iran? or are these
  • 00:22:03.210 --> 00:22:07.815
  • Global forces driving prices up, or is something else going on?
  • 00:22:07.815 --> 00:22:12.252
  • And how can you make gold a key part of your financial security?
  • 00:22:12.252 --> 00:22:16.323
  • I recently sat down in dallas with the founder of preserve
  • 00:22:16.323 --> 00:22:20.294
  • Gold, the newest sponsor of the rosenberg report, to get some
  • 00:22:20.294 --> 00:22:24.264
  • Answers. take a look. daniel boston, you're the founder of
  • 00:22:24.264 --> 00:22:27.668
  • Preserve gold. you're also. thank you for being a sponsor of
  • 00:22:27.668 --> 00:22:31.338
  • The rosenberg report. it's just an honor to get to sit with you
  • 00:22:31.338 --> 00:22:35.008
  • And talk to you. let's just talk for a moment about the fact
  • 00:22:35.008 --> 00:22:37.478
  • You're a christian. you're from a jewish background. where did
  • 00:22:37.478 --> 00:22:40.981
  • You get your passion to focus on founding a gold company and not
  • 00:22:40.981 --> 00:22:46.053
  • Just gold, silver, or precious metals? but why should this
  • 00:22:46.053 --> 00:22:49.289
  • Matter to a tbn viewer, to a rosenberg report viewer?
  • 00:22:49.289 --> 00:22:52.860
  • >> well, i you know, i learned from a very young age that you
  • 00:22:52.860 --> 00:22:56.397
  • Really the best way you can help yourself is by helping other
  • 00:22:56.397 --> 00:23:00.234
  • People. and that's a value that my parents instilled for me at a
  • 00:23:00.234 --> 00:23:02.436
  • Very young age. my parents were were both jewish and they they
  • 00:23:02.436 --> 00:23:08.142
  • Both converted separately. my dad was saved through the greg
  • 00:23:08.142 --> 00:23:12.212
  • Laurie jesus revolution movement. wow. and then my mom
  • 00:23:12.212 --> 00:23:15.416
  • Was saved at a billy graham crusade.
  • 00:23:15.416 --> 00:23:17.351
  • >> okay.
  • 00:23:17.351 --> 00:23:18.318
  • >> they met at a church. okay. and here i am. so.
  • 00:23:18.419 --> 00:23:21.021
  • >> wow.
  • 00:23:21.021 --> 00:23:22.156
  • >> that's amazing. that was my upbringing. and, you know, i
  • 00:23:22.256 --> 00:23:24.191
  • Spent a lot of time volunteering at the los angeles dream center,
  • 00:23:24.191 --> 00:23:27.594
  • Where i'm from, feeding people on skid row, giving out clothes,
  • 00:23:27.594 --> 00:23:31.031
  • Ministering to them for.
  • 00:23:31.031 --> 00:23:32.332
  • >> all of your heart, for wealth management, and helping people
  • 00:23:32.332 --> 00:23:35.369
  • Build wealth. you actually care about people who are poor and
  • 00:23:35.369 --> 00:23:39.907
  • Needy and have no wealth. and that's been a big part of your
  • 00:23:39.907 --> 00:23:42.342
  • Life in terms of your own heart for humanitarian care and
  • 00:23:42.342 --> 00:23:45.979
  • Ministry to the poor and the needy.
  • 00:23:45.979 --> 00:23:48.482
  • >> yeah. well, it brings me the most joy in life is caring and
  • 00:23:48.482 --> 00:23:51.819
  • Loving for other people. i think that's the message that jesus
  • 00:23:51.819 --> 00:23:54.221
  • Sends to us over and over again. when you read, read the words.
  • 00:23:54.221 --> 00:23:57.524
  • So.
  • 00:23:57.524 --> 00:23:58.358
  • >> so where did preserve gold come from?
  • 00:23:58.459 --> 00:24:00.160
  • >> preserve gold was founded. so i started in the gold industry
  • 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.096
  • About ten years ago, and i've worked for a number of large
  • 00:24:03.096 --> 00:24:06.400
  • Firms for a long time. and in my own experience came
  • 00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:11.004
  • Across some business practices that i personally
  • 00:24:11.004 --> 00:24:13.507
  • Didn't agree with. had to got to a point where i
  • 00:24:13.507 --> 00:24:17.110
  • Needed to. i realized that if i wanted to be in this
  • 00:24:17.110 --> 00:24:20.180
  • Industry and do it the right way, in a way that i thought was
  • 00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:24.284
  • Ethical, i had to do it on my own terms. so preserve goal was
  • 00:24:24.284 --> 00:24:27.521
  • Founded with a core vision of transparency.
  • 00:24:27.521 --> 00:24:28.622
  • >> so okay.
  • 00:24:28.622 --> 00:24:29.857
  • >> amen. and then the question becomes is why gold right now?
  • 00:24:29.857 --> 00:24:33.760
  • Like what's the case for getting involved and preserve gold
  • 00:24:33.760 --> 00:24:37.865
  • Today?
  • 00:24:37.865 --> 00:24:39.099
  • >> i think gold is more relevant today than at any other point in
  • 00:24:39.199 --> 00:24:42.703
  • History. there's this whole thing. owning gold is about
  • 00:24:42.703 --> 00:24:47.875
  • Putting protections in place for your accounts. a lot of people
  • 00:24:47.875 --> 00:24:50.477
  • Look at gold like gold. prices can go to 4 or $5000 an ounce.
  • 00:24:50.477 --> 00:24:55.549
  • That's definitely a possibility and a great reason to buy
  • 00:24:55.549 --> 00:24:58.018
  • Gold. but even more important than that, in my
  • 00:24:58.018 --> 00:25:00.287
  • Opinion, is gold serves as a hedge against economic
  • 00:25:00.287 --> 00:25:03.524
  • Downturn. it's a hedge again downturn. it's a hedge agait
  • 00:25:03.524 --> 00:25:05.292
  • Downturn. it's a hedge agait stock market and bond market
  • 00:25:05.292 --> 00:25:06.593
  • Volatility. it's a hedge against inflation. for example, in 2000
  • 00:25:06.593 --> 00:25:11.231
  • We had the tech mania.com bubble burst. essentially what happened
  • 00:25:11.231 --> 00:25:13.800
  • Is first the bond market went sideways. oil prices plummeted.
  • 00:25:13.800 --> 00:25:16.837
  • The dollar got propped up. the stock market sold off shortly
  • 00:25:16.837 --> 00:25:20.107
  • Thereafter. in response to that crash, silver prices and gold
  • 00:25:20.107 --> 00:25:23.277
  • Prices more than doubled in 2008 during the housing crisis. the
  • 00:25:23.277 --> 00:25:26.713
  • Same exact thing. silver prices tripled. gold prices doubled.
  • 00:25:26.713 --> 00:25:30.183
  • Here we are today.
  • 00:25:30.183 --> 00:25:31.451
  • >> people thought at the time you couldn't go wrong with real
  • 00:25:31.451 --> 00:25:34.121
  • Estate. it turned out the whole market collapsed.
  • 00:25:34.121 --> 00:25:36.590
  • >> yeah.
  • 00:25:36.590 --> 00:25:37.357
  • >> exactly right.
  • 00:25:37.357 --> 00:25:38.125
  • >> but gold.
  • 00:25:38.125 --> 00:25:39.126
  • >> went the other direction.
  • 00:25:39.126 --> 00:25:41.061
  • >> yeah. when money. typically when money rotates out of stocks
  • 00:25:41.061 --> 00:25:43.297
  • And bonds during a market crash, when it rotates out of cash
  • 00:25:43.297 --> 00:25:46.433
  • During periods of inflation, it just needs a place to go. it
  • 00:25:46.433 --> 00:25:49.169
  • Tends to gravitate towards gold and silver first because they're
  • 00:25:49.169 --> 00:25:52.506
  • The classic safe haven investments, and that's what
  • 00:25:52.506 --> 00:25:54.007
  • Causes prices to go higher.
  • 00:25:54.007 --> 00:25:55.442
  • >> i want to have you on the show again, but i want to ask
  • 00:25:55.442 --> 00:25:59.112
  • You before we close this segment. so how do people get
  • 00:25:59.112 --> 00:26:02.182
