  • I'm in washington, dc this week and tonight
  • 00:01:08.825 --> 00:01:12.228
  • For our national religious broadcasters,
  • 00:01:12.228 --> 00:01:15.632
  • Media summit.
  • 00:01:15.632 --> 00:01:17.767
  • I'm going to take you in a few moments to kiev,
  • 00:01:17.767 --> 00:01:20.503
  • To the capital of ukraine, for part
  • 00:01:20.503 --> 00:01:22.438
  • Two of my exclusive interview with volodymyr zelensky.
  • 00:01:22.438 --> 00:01:27.043
  • Right.
  • 00:01:27.043 --> 00:01:28.244
  • But evil is being unleashed all over the world and here
  • 00:01:28.244 --> 00:01:31.147
  • In the united states against judeo-christian civilization.
  • 00:01:31.147 --> 00:01:34.450
  • And i just want to acknowledge right up front,
  • 00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:37.120
  • How how shocked, how sick and how angry i am
  • 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.424
  • By the senseless and cruel and wicked murder of charlie kirk.
  • 00:01:41.424 --> 00:01:45.328
  • Charlie loved jesus.
  • 00:01:45.328 --> 00:01:47.463
  • He loved his family. he loved america.
  • 00:01:47.463 --> 00:01:49.832
  • He loved israel.
  • 00:01:49.832 --> 00:01:50.900
  • We're going to
  • 00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:52.135
  • We're going to look at his life and legacy and particularly
  • 00:01:52.135 --> 00:01:54.504
  • His love for israel and why that's so important.
  • 00:01:54.504 --> 00:01:56.539
  • Because because of young evangelicals
  • 00:01:56.539 --> 00:01:58.708
  • That are struggling with the whole issue of israel.
  • 00:01:58.708 --> 00:02:00.410
  • We're going to talk about all of that next week.
  • 00:02:00.410 --> 00:02:02.478
  • But i just want to acknowledge
  • 00:02:02.478 --> 00:02:03.813
  • With you all right, now, charlie was part of the tbn family,
  • 00:02:03.813 --> 00:02:07.317
  • And we loved him.
  • 00:02:07.317 --> 00:02:08.952
  • And, and we're just grieving his loss and trying to process
  • 00:02:08.952 --> 00:02:12.422
  • What all this means.
  • 00:02:12.422 --> 00:02:13.890
  • And we're going to deal with that next week.
  • 00:02:14.791 --> 00:02:16.192
  • And, of course, tbn is covering it
  • 00:02:16.192 --> 00:02:17.193
  • From so many different angles.
  • 00:02:17.193 --> 00:02:18.361
  • But i just want to acknowledge this right up front
  • 00:02:18.361 --> 00:02:20.263
  • And tell you that i'm with you. we're praying.
  • 00:02:20.263 --> 00:02:22.565
  • And let's continue to pray and stand for christ
  • 00:02:22.565 --> 00:02:25.068
  • In the midst of this wicked generation.
  • 00:02:25.068 --> 00:02:28.004
  • But let me take you now to another place where evil is
  • 00:02:28.004 --> 00:02:30.807
  • On the move to kiev, ukraine.
  • 00:02:30.807 --> 00:02:34.277
  • Since the russians invaded ukraine on february 24th,
  • 00:02:34.277 --> 00:02:37.780
  • 2022, three and a half years ago, led by mad vlad, vladimir
  • 00:02:37.780 --> 00:02:42.785
  • Putin, whom i call the war criminal of the kremlin.
  • 00:02:42.785 --> 00:02:46.356
  • Ever since russia invaded ukraine,
  • 00:02:46.356 --> 00:02:49.092
  • It's not just military damage that's being done.
  • 00:02:49.092 --> 00:02:52.262
  • It's not just the horrific military to military fight
  • 00:02:52.262 --> 00:02:55.698
  • That's ongoing and is in many ways stalemated right now.
  • 00:02:55.698 --> 00:02:58.935
  • No. there's more.
  • 00:02:58.935 --> 00:03:00.069
  • There are actual war crimes being committed by putin
  • 00:03:00.069 --> 00:03:03.906
  • And his forces.
  • 00:03:03.906 --> 00:03:05.108
  • One of those is that over the last three and a half years,
  • 00:03:05.108 --> 00:03:08.011
  • 90,000 - 90,000
  • 00:03:08.011 --> 00:03:11.080
  • Reported cases of russian soldiers
  • 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:14.550
  • Sexually abusing or raping ukrainian citizens, civilians.
  • 00:03:14.550 --> 00:03:19.622
  • Many of these victims are boys and girls and small children.
  • 00:03:19.622 --> 00:03:24.260
  • This is absolutely disgusting.
  • 00:03:24.260 --> 00:03:25.928
  • What's more,
  • 00:03:25.928 --> 00:03:27.196
  • Now ukraine is telling me that the christian leaders,
  • 00:03:27.196 --> 00:03:30.967
  • Nonprofit leaders, government leaders, including,
  • 00:03:30.967 --> 00:03:34.370
  • Ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky.
  • 00:03:35.238 --> 00:03:36.973
  • And you're going to hear it in just a moment.
  • 00:03:36.973 --> 00:03:38.875
  • They're telling me that russia has captured,
  • 00:03:38.875 --> 00:03:42.312
  • Kidnaped 19 or 20,000 ukrainian children.
  • 00:03:42.312 --> 00:03:47.650
  • They've disappeared.
  • 00:03:48.117 --> 00:03:49.519
  • They've been taken from the occupied territories,
  • 00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:51.854
  • The russian occupied
  • 00:03:51.854 --> 00:03:53.056
  • Territories of eastern ukraine known as the donbas region,
  • 00:03:53.056 --> 00:03:57.160
  • And they've been taken back to russia.
  • 00:03:57.160 --> 00:03:59.662
  • Nobody knows where they are.
  • 00:03:59.662 --> 00:04:01.264
  • But some of the intelligence reports are,
  • 00:04:01.264 --> 00:04:03.232
  • And some nonprofit organizations are telling me that
  • 00:04:03.232 --> 00:04:07.337
  • These children are being sexually abused
  • 00:04:07.337 --> 00:04:09.439
  • Physically abused, psychologically abused,
  • 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.841
  • And even trafficked, even sold into adoption
  • 00:04:11.841 --> 00:04:15.244
  • In russia and elsewhere.
  • 00:04:15.244 --> 00:04:16.779
  • Good evening, and welcome to the rosenberg report.
  • 00:04:16.779 --> 00:04:19.082
  • This war is the biggest land war in europe.
  • 00:04:19.082 --> 00:04:21.718
  • It's the biggest land war in europe since world
  • 00:04:21.718 --> 00:04:24.721
  • War two and the holocaust.
  • 00:04:24.721 --> 00:04:26.189
  • It is the biggest war raging on the planet today.
  • 00:04:26.189 --> 00:04:28.591
  • Yeah,
  • 00:04:28.591 --> 00:04:29.025
  • There's a huge
  • 00:04:29.025 --> 00:04:30.126
  • And very serious war still waged by israel against
  • 00:04:30.126 --> 00:04:32.895
  • Hamas in gaza.
  • 00:04:32.895 --> 00:04:33.730
  • This is super important,
  • 00:04:33.730 --> 00:04:34.864
  • And we're going to keep focusing on that.
  • 00:04:34.864 --> 00:04:36.432
  • But i came here to to to report on the biggest war
  • 00:04:36.432 --> 00:04:41.070
  • Raging in the world today, a war that if the west allows
  • 00:04:41.070 --> 00:04:45.942
  • Itself to lose, if if the west doesn't,
  • 00:04:45.942 --> 00:04:48.111
  • If the united states and nato and other countries
  • 00:04:48.111 --> 00:04:51.147
  • Don't stand with ukraine and allow
  • 00:04:51.147 --> 00:04:53.149
  • And strengthen ukraine and make sure it wins.
  • 00:04:53.149 --> 00:04:56.719
  • If russia, if vladimir putin is allowed
  • 00:04:56.719 --> 00:04:59.155
  • To take over ukraine,
  • 00:04:59.155 --> 00:05:02.058
  • Russia will suddenly be on the borders
  • 00:05:02.058 --> 00:05:04.660
  • Of by having ukraine with nine nato countries.
  • 00:05:04.660 --> 00:05:07.997
  • And putin has warned that or not been warned.
  • 00:05:07.997 --> 00:05:10.633
  • He's bragged he's going to invade other countries
  • 00:05:10.633 --> 00:05:13.770
  • If he once he gets ukraine.
  • 00:05:14.370 --> 00:05:16.105
  • We can't let that happen.
  • 00:05:16.105 --> 00:05:17.640
  • But tonight i want to sit down for part two.
  • 00:05:17.640 --> 00:05:20.009
  • I want you to see part two of my exclusive interview
  • 00:05:20.009 --> 00:05:23.780
  • With ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky
  • 00:05:23.780 --> 00:05:57.079
  • So let's go to security guarantees.
  • 00:05:57.847 --> 00:06:00.082
  • What?
  • 00:06:00.082 --> 00:06:00.883
  • What do you want?
  • 00:06:00.883 --> 00:07:20.396
  • So including in those security guarantees
  • 00:07:21.264 --> 00:07:24.500
  • I'm actually shocked
  • 00:07:24.967 --> 00:07:26.402
  • First of all that president trump
  • 00:07:26.402 --> 00:07:27.904
  • Was able to get nato to go to 5% of gdp for defense.
  • 00:07:27.904 --> 00:07:32.341
  • But he was having trouble getting them
  • 00:07:32.341 --> 00:07:33.776
  • To 2% in the last round.
  • 00:07:33.776 --> 00:07:36.379
  • But also now that the french and the british are saying,
  • 00:07:36.379 --> 00:07:39.916
  • And i think estonia are saying, we're willing to put boots
  • 00:07:39.916 --> 00:07:43.753
  • On the ground.
  • 00:07:43.753 --> 00:07:44.987
  • Are in are there other countries as well?
  • 00:07:45.855 --> 00:08:29.999
  • You know, betrayed by the west.
  • 00:08:30.633 --> 00:08:32.902
  • Sadly, tragically, in 1994, ukraine gave up all,
  • 00:08:32.902 --> 00:08:37.473
  • I think, 1700 nuclear warheads gave them to moscow,
  • 00:08:37.473 --> 00:08:42.345
  • Being told in the budapest memorandum,
  • 00:08:42.345 --> 00:08:45.147
  • We will come help you if you if russia ever tries to attack.
  • 00:08:45.147 --> 00:08:48.284
  • And then that didn't happen.
  • 00:08:48.284 --> 00:09:56.452
  • Senator lindsey graham again.
  • 00:09:57.086 --> 00:09:58.454
  • He told me on the phone i was in paris a couple days ago.
  • 00:09:58.454 --> 00:10:01.590
  • He said, i've got a bill ready to go to, to define
  • 00:10:01.590 --> 00:10:06.095
  • To declare russia as a state of terrorism.
  • 00:10:06.095 --> 00:10:09.699
  • Terrorism.
  • 00:10:09.699 --> 00:10:10.766
  • Yeah, because they're stealing ukrainian children.
  • 00:10:10.766 --> 00:10:13.836
  • Selling them, trafficking them,
  • 00:10:13.836 --> 00:10:15.504
  • Abusing them, even sexual abuse.
  • 00:10:15.504 --> 00:10:17.540
  • I was just the other day over
  • 00:10:17.540 --> 00:10:18.808
  • At save ukraine, visiting, these facilities,
  • 00:10:18.808 --> 00:10:22.545
  • Run by one of your good friends and caring for these families,
  • 00:10:22.545 --> 00:10:25.681
  • Caring for these, children.
  • 00:10:25.681 --> 00:10:26.882
  • But but there are many, many children.
  • 00:10:26.882 --> 00:10:29.385
  • Who would you describe that situation?
  • 00:10:29.385 --> 00:10:31.320
  • Because i don't think most christians in america
  • 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.322
  • Have any idea what russia's doing to your children.
  • 00:10:33.322 --> 00:10:54.310
  • 20,000? more than 20,000.
  • 00:10:54.877 --> 00:12:05.447
  • So can you imagine these?
  • 00:12:06.015 --> 00:12:07.883
  • They're indoctrinating ukrainian children
  • 00:12:07.883 --> 00:12:10.319
  • And training them to fight against you.
  • 00:12:10.319 --> 00:12:17.326
  • Even - even the palestinians are not using,
  • 00:12:18.227 --> 00:12:22.231
  • The hostages to train them to, to come back against us.
  • 00:12:22.231 --> 00:12:25.267
  • I mean, that's just insane, crazy people.
  • 00:12:25.267 --> 00:12:52.394
  • Coming up next on the rosenberg report,
  • 00:12:53.162 --> 00:12:55.531
  • What does president zelensky fear will happen next if the
  • 00:12:55.531 --> 00:12:59.034
  • West allows russian president vladimir putin to win this war
  • 00:12:59.034 --> 00:13:02.972
  • And crush and conquer ukraine once and for all,
  • 00:13:02.972 --> 00:13:06.675
  • Could this embolden america's worst enemies
  • 00:13:06.675 --> 00:13:09.612
  • And lead to bloody new wars in the middle east and asia?
  • 00:13:09.612 --> 00:13:13.382
  • Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn
  • 00:13:13.382 --> 00:13:16.986
  • Right after the break.
  • 00:13:16.986 --> 00:13:20.001
  • Right after the break.
  • 00:13:20.001 --> 00:13:23.392
  • I want to deal with, briefly with,
  • 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.328
  • Another criticism that some people are saying,
  • 00:13:26.328 --> 00:13:28.731
  • Some on the left, some on the right in the united states.
  • 00:13:28.731 --> 00:13:31.433
  • They say, well, gosh, united states
  • 00:13:31.433 --> 00:13:33.502
  • Taxpayers are giving $150 billion worth of, aid, arms
  • 00:13:33.502 --> 00:13:38.607
  • And other type of humanitarian aid, another type of aid.
  • 00:13:38.607 --> 00:13:41.944
  • And some will say that's not worth it.
  • 00:13:42.778 --> 00:13:44.847
  • Now, to me, who wrote a book warning that a russian dictator
  • 00:13:44.847 --> 00:13:48.751
  • Could invade ukraine or if not ukraine, then a nato country.
  • 00:13:48.751 --> 00:13:53.956
  • I think
  • 00:13:54.189 --> 00:13:55.324
  • You're giving us a great value because you're fighting.
  • 00:13:55.324 --> 00:13:57.393
  • Your sons and daughters are fighting.
  • 00:13:57.393 --> 00:13:59.862
  • And destroying russian, tanks and whatever
  • 00:13:59.862 --> 00:14:03.565
  • I saw, some of the captured ones are in kiev today.
  • 00:14:03.565 --> 00:14:06.869
  • But what's your answer?
  • 00:14:07.369 --> 00:14:08.771
  • What's your
  • 00:14:08.771 --> 00:14:10.039
  • Message to the american people, the american taxpayer, about,
  • 00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:13.309
  • The amount of money they have invested?
  • 00:14:13.309 --> 00:14:16.578
  • And why that's worth it to you? why?
  • 00:14:16.578 --> 00:14:18.714
  • Why the ukrainian people are grateful for it.
  • 00:14:18.714 --> 00:14:21.350
  • I don't want to put words in your mouth.
  • 00:14:21.350 --> 00:14:22.584
  • I'm just telling you what i think.
  • 00:14:22.584 --> 00:14:24.253
  • It has been worth it. but,
  • 00:14:24.253 --> 00:14:27.423
  • Yeah.
  • 00:14:27.423 --> 00:14:28.624
  • Well, what would you like to say to the american people on
  • 00:14:28.624 --> 00:14:30.826
  • The value of standing with ukraine?
  • 00:14:30.826 --> 00:14:35.297
  • Thank you.
  • 00:14:35.597 --> 00:14:37.700
  • First of all,
  • 00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:38.500
  • We are very grateful to the people
  • 00:14:38.500 --> 00:14:39.935
  • Of the united states of america for their support
  • 00:14:39.935 --> 00:14:42.371
  • Since the very beginning of the war,
  • 00:14:42.371 --> 00:14:44.773
  • What we were truly fighting for
  • 00:14:44.773 --> 00:14:46.508
  • Was the survival of our children.
  • 00:14:46.508 --> 00:14:49.144
  • These are absolutely understandable values
  • 00:14:49.144 --> 00:14:52.214
  • For a person of any faith. by the way,
  • 00:14:52.214 --> 00:14:55.284
  • We were in a
  • 00:14:55.617 --> 00:14:56.852
  • Situation where we were attacked and had to defend ourselves.
  • 00:14:56.852 --> 00:14:59.822
  • There were no pretentious words.
  • 00:15:00.456 --> 00:15:02.591
  • It was just a desire to survive.
  • 00:15:02.591 --> 00:15:05.361
  • And in such a situation,
  • 00:15:05.361 --> 00:15:07.963
  • It does not matter who you are,
  • 00:15:07.963 --> 00:15:09.631
  • What language you speak or which continent you come from.
  • 00:15:09.631 --> 00:15:13.469
  • If this can be done to you,
  • 00:15:13.469 --> 00:15:15.104
  • Then it can happen anywhere in the world.
  • 00:15:15.104 --> 00:15:17.373
  • And if good cannot stop evil on its own,
  • 00:15:17.373 --> 00:15:19.942
  • Then others must step in to destroy that evil,
  • 00:15:19.942 --> 00:15:23.379
  • And that is the right thing to do.
  • 00:15:23.379 --> 00:15:26.081
  • In fact, that is christian values to help
  • 00:15:26.081 --> 00:15:28.817
  • Good to stop evil.
  • 00:15:28.817 --> 00:15:30.819
  • And this is exactly what the americans have done.
  • 00:15:30.819 --> 00:15:33.889
  • People who share the same forces with us.
  • 00:15:33.889 --> 00:15:36.325
  • This is absolutely clear.
  • 00:15:36.325 --> 00:15:38.460
  • God forbid that there should be such grief
  • 00:15:38.460 --> 00:15:40.863
  • On any continent, including america.
  • 00:15:40.863 --> 00:15:43.932
  • God forbid it will never happen.
  • 00:15:43.932 --> 00:15:47.336
  • How many americans have set an example?
  • 00:15:47.336 --> 00:15:49.872
  • That is why people like us will always stand with america.
  • 00:15:49.872 --> 00:15:53.275
  • Yes, without this, we will destroy everything.
  • 00:15:53.275 --> 00:15:56.979
  • We can destroy the earth.
  • 00:15:57.546 --> 00:15:59.448
  • There is no other way.
  • 00:15:59.448 --> 00:16:01.250
  • There is no other way to live. because
  • 00:16:01.250 --> 00:16:03.285
  • Evil must be stopped from the very beginning.
  • 00:16:04.186 --> 00:16:07.489
  • Because if not, it spreads.
  • 00:16:07.489 --> 00:16:09.925
  • If we had been left alone,
  • 00:16:09.925 --> 00:16:11.460
  • If russia had been allowed
  • 00:16:11.460 --> 00:16:12.661
  • To completely capture and destroy us,
  • 00:16:12.661 --> 00:16:15.097
  • It would have set an example for others.
  • 00:16:15.097 --> 00:16:16.899
  • And the same example would appear in the middle east,
  • 00:16:16.899 --> 00:16:19.768
  • In asia, in the indo-pacific region and across the world.
  • 00:16:19.768 --> 00:16:23.739
  • And there are many such risks.
  • 00:16:23.739 --> 00:16:26.075
  • That is why america's involvement was so important.
  • 00:16:26.075 --> 00:16:29.178
  • By stepping in, america gave a signal to other countries.
  • 00:16:29.178 --> 00:16:32.915
  • Europe responded.
  • 00:16:32.915 --> 00:16:34.083
  • And today
  • 00:16:34.083 --> 00:16:35.317
  • Europe is deeply united with us and with the united states.
  • 00:16:35.317 --> 00:16:39.354
  • And that is very important.
  • 00:16:39.354 --> 00:16:41.924
  • I believe everyone sees this,
  • 00:16:42.558 --> 00:16:44.660
  • And i sincerely hope america does to.
  • 00:16:44.660 --> 00:16:47.729
  • This is not a question of money.
  • 00:16:47.729 --> 00:16:50.933
  • What we received was not money, but weapons.
  • 00:16:50.933 --> 00:16:54.002
  • Yes, they cost money, and yes,
  • 00:16:54.002 --> 00:16:56.638
  • They were funded by american taxpayers.
  • 00:16:56.638 --> 00:16:59.508
  • But human life is priceless.
  • 00:16:59.508 --> 00:17:03.312
  • Anyway,
  • 00:17:03.545 --> 00:17:04.980
  • And so i sincerely hope that all americans
  • 00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:07.549
  • Who have stood with ukraine
  • 00:17:07.549 --> 00:17:08.984
  • And who continue to do so, truly share this belief.
  • 00:17:08.984 --> 00:17:12.387
  • I want to believe that.
  • 00:17:12.888 --> 00:17:16.758
  • Coming up next on the rosenberg report,
  • 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:19.728
  • Don't miss the moving conclusion of joel's exclusive interview
  • 00:17:19.728 --> 00:17:22.898
  • With ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky.
  • 00:17:22.898 --> 00:17:25.667
  • As joel asked him face to face after three
  • 00:17:25.667 --> 00:17:28.804
  • And a half years of brutal war, how were you doing really?
  • 00:17:28.804 --> 00:17:32.808
  • And how can christians be praying for you and your family?
  • 00:17:32.808 --> 00:17:36.912
  • Here's zelensky's heartfelt answer
  • 00:17:36.912 --> 00:17:39.047
  • When the rosenberg report continues on tbn right
  • 00:17:39.047 --> 00:17:42.284
  • After the break.
  • 00:17:42.284 --> 00:17:45.001
  • After the break.
  • 00:17:45.001 --> 00:17:48.391
  • I want you to know i'm a dual u.s.
  • 00:17:49.125 --> 00:17:51.361
  • And israeli citizen.
  • 00:17:51.361 --> 00:17:53.930
  • I'm also jewish on my father's side, and my mom is not jewish.
  • 00:17:53.930 --> 00:17:57.300
  • And i believe in jesus as messiah.
  • 00:17:57.300 --> 00:17:58.935
  • So that's a lot of things going on.
  • 00:17:58.935 --> 00:18:00.270
  • But the reason i say it is because as an american,
  • 00:18:00.270 --> 00:18:03.640
  • I so admire the
  • 00:18:04.007 --> 00:18:05.375
  • Courage of you and the ukrainian people to fight.
  • 00:18:05.375 --> 00:18:08.778
  • Putin is the most evil man on the planet.
  • 00:18:08.778 --> 00:18:11.381
  • He's competing with a few others,
  • 00:18:11.381 --> 00:18:12.749
  • But he is evil
  • 00:18:12.749 --> 00:18:13.883
  • And he is trying to rape and pillage a free country.
  • 00:18:13.883 --> 00:18:17.554
  • And he must be stopped or he's going to do more.
  • 00:18:17.554 --> 00:18:20.890
  • And as an israeli, we're facing the same situation.
  • 00:18:20.890 --> 00:18:24.260
  • The world hates us.
  • 00:18:24.260 --> 00:18:25.562
  • At least you have europe with you.
  • 00:18:25.562 --> 00:18:26.863
  • And, and we're grateful for,
  • 00:18:26.863 --> 00:18:28.631
  • At least the united states staying with israel.
  • 00:18:28.631 --> 00:18:29.966
  • But we've got attacks from all sides,
  • 00:18:29.966 --> 00:18:32.368
  • And we are in a fight for our existence.
  • 00:18:32.368 --> 00:18:34.470
  • You're going to fight for your existence.
  • 00:18:34.470 --> 00:18:35.939
  • And i just want you to know that
  • 00:18:35.939 --> 00:18:37.373
  • That christians all around the world and jews,
  • 00:18:37.373 --> 00:18:39.242
  • Of course, are praying and standing with you.
  • 00:18:39.242 --> 00:18:41.978
  • And, and i want to close with this last question.
  • 00:18:41.978 --> 00:18:44.314
  • It's a it's an open ended question, but,
  • 00:18:44.314 --> 00:18:46.916
  • How are you doing?
  • 00:18:47.350 --> 00:18:49.085
  • You know, this is not easy.
  • 00:18:49.085 --> 00:18:51.287
  • This is not, this is not
  • 00:18:51.287 --> 00:18:53.623
  • You signed up to lead a country, but you didn't know.
  • 00:18:53.623 --> 00:18:56.826
  • You didn't read the book.
  • 00:18:56.826 --> 00:18:57.760
  • Well, anyway, you you didn't know. how.
  • 00:18:57.760 --> 00:19:00.530
  • You were going to face the most dangerous moment
  • 00:19:00.530 --> 00:19:02.699
  • In the history of your modern country.
  • 00:19:02.699 --> 00:19:04.267
  • So how are you doing?
  • 00:19:04.267 --> 00:19:05.868
  • How can we pray for you personally and, and your family
  • 00:19:05.868 --> 00:19:09.772
  • And your team?
  • 00:19:09.772 --> 00:19:13.243
  • Thank you very much.
  • 00:19:13.710 --> 00:19:16.980
  • Our families are perhaps what keeps us
  • 00:19:17.814 --> 00:19:20.149
  • Standing, what holds us here on this earth,
  • 00:19:20.149 --> 00:19:23.453
  • Our loved ones,
  • 00:19:23.453 --> 00:19:25.355
  • Our spouses, our parents.
  • 00:19:25.355 --> 00:19:28.024
  • May god grant them health and our children.
  • 00:19:28.024 --> 00:19:31.661
  • You know, you must be a role model for your children.
  • 00:19:31.661 --> 00:19:34.631
  • I truly believe that because the example they follow is you.
  • 00:19:34.631 --> 00:19:38.968
  • The right books,
  • 00:19:39.369 --> 00:19:40.536
  • The right education, and the right people around you.
  • 00:19:40.536 --> 00:19:43.973
  • These, i believe, are the most important things.
  • 00:19:43.973 --> 00:19:47.410
  • I am confident that our children will set their
  • 00:19:47.410 --> 00:19:50.713
  • Own goals.
  • 00:19:50.713 --> 00:19:51.914
  • Some they will reach, some they will not.
  • 00:19:51.914 --> 00:19:54.884
  • But above all, what matters most
  • 00:19:54.884 --> 00:19:57.320
  • Is that they become decent people.
  • 00:19:57.320 --> 00:20:00.089
  • That was always my parents approach and it is
  • 00:20:00.089 --> 00:20:02.892
  • The same way we raise our own children, defending our country.
  • 00:20:02.892 --> 00:20:07.397
  • Protecting it is the same as protecting
  • 00:20:07.397 --> 00:20:09.999
  • Your family and your home.
  • 00:20:09.999 --> 00:20:11.901
  • No matter how difficult it
  • 00:20:12.468 --> 00:20:13.803
  • Is, you have to do everything to protect your home.
  • 00:20:13.803 --> 00:20:17.607
  • I think this is the most important thing
  • 00:20:17.607 --> 00:20:19.809
  • And these are the things that keep me going.
  • 00:20:19.809 --> 00:20:22.745
  • You ask me how i am.
  • 00:20:22.745 --> 00:20:24.781
  • I am the same as every ukrainian family.
  • 00:20:24.781 --> 00:20:27.717
  • It is hard for all of us,
  • 00:20:27.717 --> 00:20:30.086
  • But we don't talk.
  • 00:20:30.086 --> 00:20:31.487
  • It's still very difficult for us.
  • 00:20:31.487 --> 00:20:34.257
  • We are not going to complain.
  • 00:20:34.257 --> 00:20:35.825
  • We are not afraid of russians and we are not afraid of them.
  • 00:20:35.825 --> 00:20:39.829
  • We do not believe that they can defeat us
  • 00:20:39.829 --> 00:20:43.132
  • And they will not defeat us.
  • 00:20:43.132 --> 00:20:45.802
  • They fail to grasp the most important truth.
  • 00:20:45.802 --> 00:20:48.538
  • They have already lost this war.
  • 00:20:48.538 --> 00:20:50.540
  • We never wanted it.
  • 00:20:50.540 --> 00:20:51.874
  • They wanted to conquer us.
  • 00:20:51.874 --> 00:20:53.343
  • They came on to foreign land, into foreign homes.
  • 00:20:53.343 --> 00:20:56.412
  • And now they see that they cannot overcome us.
  • 00:20:56.412 --> 00:20:59.649
  • They could not break us.
  • 00:20:59.649 --> 00:21:01.150
  • Therefore they have already lost this war.
  • 00:21:01.150 --> 00:21:04.120
  • Do you think this is a war for territory? no.
  • 00:21:04.120 --> 00:21:07.190
  • This is our land, so we have every right to do so.
  • 00:21:07.190 --> 00:21:10.026
  • But the issue is not about territory.
  • 00:21:10.026 --> 00:21:12.729
  • Territories are important, but people are much more important.
  • 00:21:12.729 --> 00:21:16.799
  • They seek to capture us in
  • 00:21:17.367 --> 00:21:18.868
  • Order to erase us, our history, our homes, everything.
  • 00:21:18.868 --> 00:21:22.705
  • Their goal is to wipe out our existence and claim
  • 00:21:22.705 --> 00:21:25.274
  • It all as russia.
  • 00:21:25.274 --> 00:21:27.577
  • And that is why they cannot break us.
  • 00:21:27.577 --> 00:21:29.979
  • And that is why our people, believers of all faiths,
  • 00:21:29.979 --> 00:21:33.716
  • Are united in one spirit.
  • 00:21:33.716 --> 00:21:36.652
  • Sure, look, the blame lies with russia.
  • 00:21:36.652 --> 00:21:39.222
  • They brought evil upon us
  • 00:21:39.222 --> 00:21:40.757
  • And together we will stand and stop that evil.
  • 00:21:40.757 --> 00:21:44.260
  • When scott pelley came here for 60 minutes
  • 00:21:45.128 --> 00:21:47.630
  • Right in the early stage, i know he just talking again.
  • 00:21:47.630 --> 00:21:49.632
  • We know each other.
  • 00:21:49.632 --> 00:21:50.833
  • Yeah, well, when he came, he said the thing that he thinks
  • 00:21:50.833 --> 00:21:54.270
  • From his reporting
  • 00:21:54.270 --> 00:21:55.772
  • That galvanized ukrainians at the beginning
  • 00:21:55.772 --> 00:21:59.142
  • Is that you could have gotten on a plane and left,
  • 00:21:59.142 --> 00:22:02.645
  • And you didn't. you stuck.
  • 00:22:02.645 --> 00:22:04.480
  • And i want to thank you.
  • 00:22:05.014 --> 00:22:08.084
  • That is not easy to do,
  • 00:22:08.084 --> 00:22:09.685
  • But you love your country, and we're praying for
  • 00:22:09.685 --> 00:22:12.221
  • Standing with you.
  • 00:22:12.221 --> 00:22:13.222
  • And thank you for saying. it's an honor.
  • 00:22:13.222 --> 00:22:14.957
  • Thank you. want me to. thank you for making the time.
  • 00:22:14.957 --> 00:22:17.660
  • Always a pleasure.
  • 00:22:17.660 --> 00:22:18.828
  • Was there? it's an honor. thank you for coming to you.
  • 00:22:18.828 --> 00:22:20.663
  • That's. thank you so much for me.
  • 00:22:20.663 --> 00:22:22.365
  • I'll come back when, when this thing is done.
  • 00:22:22.365 --> 00:22:24.567
  • And then come to jerusalem.
  • 00:22:24.567 --> 00:22:26.436
  • When we finish our war. thank you, thank you.
  • 00:22:26.436 --> 00:22:28.838
  • All right. thank you.
  • 00:22:28.838 --> 00:22:30.072
  • Thank you, thank you.
  • 00:22:30.072 --> 00:22:31.274
  • I'm very grateful to the lord jesus christ for opening
  • 00:22:31.274 --> 00:22:33.910
  • An extraordinary door and a door not only to come to ukraine,
  • 00:22:33.910 --> 00:22:37.280
  • Not only to come to kiev,
  • 00:22:37.280 --> 00:22:38.581
  • The capital,
  • 00:22:38.581 --> 00:22:39.248
  • And really understand better
  • 00:22:39.248 --> 00:22:40.950
  • What's really happening in the biggest,
  • 00:22:40.950 --> 00:22:43.019
  • Most brutal, most bloody war that's raging on this planet in
  • 00:22:43.019 --> 00:22:46.389
  • Our time.
  • 00:22:46.389 --> 00:22:47.390
  • But to actually go into
  • 00:22:47.890 --> 00:22:49.959
  • The presidential compound here in ukraine, here in kyiv,
  • 00:22:49.959 --> 00:22:52.662
  • To go into the situation room and have this exclusive
  • 00:22:52.662 --> 00:22:55.198
  • Interview with vladimir zelensky,
  • 00:22:55.198 --> 00:22:57.366
  • He is he's very interesting at many level.
  • 00:22:57.366 --> 00:22:59.302
  • Look, you may not agree with zelensky on everything.
  • 00:22:59.302 --> 00:23:01.404
  • I don't agree with him on everything.
  • 00:23:01.404 --> 00:23:03.005
  • I think he's made some some poor decisions.
  • 00:23:03.005 --> 00:23:05.408
  • He's made some mistakes.
  • 00:23:05.408 --> 00:23:07.076
  • As a leader, even in this war, i think he
  • 00:23:07.076 --> 00:23:09.479
  • He handled his conversation with president trump
  • 00:23:09.479 --> 00:23:12.248
  • And vice president vance badly
  • 00:23:12.248 --> 00:23:14.283
  • Six months ago, but he didn't correct for it.
  • 00:23:14.283 --> 00:23:16.118
  • Okay, let's give him credit.
  • 00:23:16.118 --> 00:23:18.054
  • He was not respectful. he was not thankful.
  • 00:23:18.054 --> 00:23:20.323
  • He didn't give evidence that he appreciated
  • 00:23:20.323 --> 00:23:22.391
  • American help in that meeting.
  • 00:23:22.391 --> 00:23:23.926
  • But he did correct for it. he did.
  • 00:23:23.926 --> 00:23:26.262
  • And he very much wants american help.
  • 00:23:26.262 --> 00:23:29.265
  • He, you know, just a few.
  • 00:23:29.265 --> 00:23:30.733
  • You know, days ago, he went back to washington,
  • 00:23:30.733 --> 00:23:33.769
  • And brought along some strong,
  • 00:23:33.769 --> 00:23:36.105
  • You know, allies, european allies to be
  • 00:23:36.105 --> 00:23:38.474
  • That were invited by president trump, to be part of it.
  • 00:23:38.474 --> 00:23:41.010
  • And and i think they're working well together.
  • 00:23:41.010 --> 00:23:43.713
  • Okay.
  • 00:23:43.713 --> 00:23:44.580
  • And i and my sources in washington,
  • 00:23:44.580 --> 00:23:46.315
  • Confirmed that
  • 00:23:46.315 --> 00:23:47.416
  • That trump and his team believe that they're working
  • 00:23:47.416 --> 00:23:49.452
  • Much better with zelensky today than they were,
  • 00:23:49.452 --> 00:23:51.988
  • Say, six months ago.
  • 00:23:51.988 --> 00:23:53.122
  • And, and,
  • 00:23:53.122 --> 00:23:54.223
  • There's a unity that's building
  • 00:23:54.223 --> 00:23:55.658
  • A unity of purpose and a unity of strategy.
  • 00:23:55.658 --> 00:23:57.960
  • This is really important because obviously,
  • 00:23:57.960 --> 00:23:59.729
  • Six months ago that wasn't the case.
  • 00:23:59.729 --> 00:24:01.964
  • But i wanted you to be able to come into the room with me
  • 00:24:01.964 --> 00:24:04.834
  • And see zelensky for yourself and let you hear me
  • 00:24:04.834 --> 00:24:08.604
  • Ask him a lot of questions about,
  • 00:24:08.604 --> 00:24:10.706
  • Yes, about strategy, about tactics,
  • 00:24:10.706 --> 00:24:12.408
  • But also about his values, who he is, what makes,
  • 00:24:12.408 --> 00:24:15.444
  • What makes him tick.
  • 00:24:15.444 --> 00:24:16.679
  • And i found, you know, i find him a fascinating man.
  • 00:24:16.679 --> 00:24:20.116
  • He is almost single handedly
  • 00:24:20.116 --> 00:24:23.920
  • Standing up against the most evil empire, the most evil
  • 00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:27.456
  • Leader in all of europe,
  • 00:24:27.456 --> 00:24:29.158
  • I think, of all over the world right now. and that's mad, vlad.
  • 00:24:29.158 --> 00:24:31.794
  • That's vladimir putin, the war criminal of the kremlin.
  • 00:24:31.794 --> 00:24:35.431
  • It's zelensky who has been rallying the world,
  • 00:24:35.431 --> 00:24:39.569
  • A very divided world, that didn't want to confront putin.
  • 00:24:39.569 --> 00:24:43.339
  • And, and the weakness of,
  • 00:24:43.906 --> 00:24:45.975
  • Of then president joe biden that,
  • 00:24:45.975 --> 00:24:49.579
  • You know, allowed, afghanistan to collapse on biden's
  • 00:24:49.579 --> 00:24:53.449
  • Watch, allowed the taliban to take over afghanistan
  • 00:24:53.449 --> 00:24:56.819
  • After almost 20 years of american investment
  • 00:24:56.819 --> 00:24:59.188
  • Fighting blood, sweat, tears and treasure.
  • 00:24:59.188 --> 00:25:02.491
  • That showed so much weakness that it invited us effectively.
  • 00:25:02.491 --> 00:25:05.127
  • We invited putin to invade ukraine.
  • 00:25:05.127 --> 00:25:08.197
  • And i think, it was, it's been vladimir zelensky
  • 00:25:08.197 --> 00:25:13.536
  • Who has rallied the world, republicans and liberals,
  • 00:25:13.536 --> 00:25:18.040
  • And the rest of the world
  • 00:25:18.608 --> 00:25:19.709
  • To his side, to the side of the ukrainian people.
  • 00:25:19.709 --> 00:25:22.211
  • And and he's done an amazing job.
  • 00:25:22.211 --> 00:25:24.213
  • Has it been perfect? no, it hasn't been perfect.
  • 00:25:24.213 --> 00:25:26.716
  • Is there corruption here in, in the government of ukraine?
  • 00:25:26.716 --> 00:25:29.852
  • Yeah, that that's actually how he started running.
  • 00:25:29.852 --> 00:25:32.922
  • And, i'm going to do a youtube exclusive
  • 00:25:32.922 --> 00:25:35.257
  • On more about vladimir zelensky
  • 00:25:35.257 --> 00:25:37.326
  • Because i find him very interesting,
  • 00:25:37.326 --> 00:25:38.995
  • Complicated, interesting.
  • 00:25:38.995 --> 00:25:40.229
  • But also he ran for president and was elected on wine
  • 00:25:40.229 --> 00:25:44.500
  • To fight corruption in the government.
  • 00:25:44.500 --> 00:25:46.469
  • And then before he could get too much reform done,
  • 00:25:46.469 --> 00:25:49.872
  • Putin invaded.
  • 00:25:50.206 --> 00:25:51.173
  • And he's been dealing with that
  • 00:25:51.173 --> 00:25:52.575
  • And marshaling the ukrainian people and,
  • 00:25:52.575 --> 00:25:55.411
  • And trying to raise money and international support.
  • 00:25:55.411 --> 00:25:58.047
  • And he's done an amazing job at this.
  • 00:25:58.047 --> 00:26:00.049
  • And, and i think, you know, president trump and jd vance,
  • 00:26:00.049 --> 00:26:03.853
  • Vice president, did not come into office
  • 00:26:03.853 --> 00:26:05.955
  • Feeling particularly warm
  • 00:26:05.955 --> 00:26:07.356
  • Towards zelensky or committed 100% to standing with him.
  • 00:26:07.356 --> 00:26:11.894
  • But i think he has made an effective case that it's putin
  • 00:26:11.894 --> 00:26:15.865
  • That doesn't want peace.
  • 00:26:15.865 --> 00:26:16.866
  • It's putin that's threatening the world.
  • 00:26:16.866 --> 00:26:18.801
  • It's putin that's killing children, it's
  • 00:26:18.801 --> 00:26:21.203
  • Putin that's kidnaping and trafficking in children.
  • 00:26:21.203 --> 00:26:24.273
  • It's putin whose forces are raping and sexually abusing
  • 00:26:24.273 --> 00:26:27.710
  • People that they're actual horrific war crimes here.
  • 00:26:27.710 --> 00:26:31.313
  • And if putin gets ukraine, he wants everything else
  • 00:26:31.313 --> 00:26:34.283
  • Right, one by one, country by country.
  • 00:26:34.283 --> 00:26:36.552
  • He's going to try to take more countries.
  • 00:26:36.552 --> 00:26:37.953
  • He already invaded georgia
  • 00:26:37.953 --> 00:26:39.188
  • And has 20% of the country of georgia.
  • 00:26:39.188 --> 00:26:41.557
  • Back in the 2008 olympics, he invaded.
  • 00:26:41.557 --> 00:26:43.893
  • He invaded syria.
  • 00:26:43.893 --> 00:26:46.228
  • He█s been helping iran.
  • 00:26:46.228 --> 00:26:48.431
  • And so, you know, and then obviously invaded southern
  • 00:26:48.431 --> 00:26:52.501
  • Ukraine, took over crimea, then the eastern region, and,
  • 00:26:52.501 --> 00:26:55.404
  • And then tried to invade the whole country.
  • 00:26:55.404 --> 00:26:57.306
  • So, it's putin, it's the war criminal.
  • 00:26:57.306 --> 00:27:00.142
  • And he and he needs to be stopped.
  • 00:27:00.142 --> 00:27:02.144
  • And i hope you saw why.
  • 00:27:02.144 --> 00:27:04.080
  • I hope you got a better sense of who zelensky is.
  • 00:27:04.080 --> 00:27:06.782
  • And and why this war is so important next week.
  • 00:27:06.782 --> 00:27:11.053
  • Do not miss next week's show.
  • 00:27:11.053 --> 00:27:13.122
  • We are going to be sitting down with a wide range of christian
  • 00:27:13.122 --> 00:27:16.459
  • Leaders, ukraine and christian leaders.
  • 00:27:16.459 --> 00:27:18.160
  • How do they see what putin is doing?
  • 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:20.863
  • But also what do they see jesus christ doing?
  • 00:27:20.863 --> 00:27:22.832
  • What do they see the holy spirit doing?
  • 00:27:22.832 --> 00:27:24.400
  • It's very exciting.
  • 00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:26.202
  • Okay.
  • 00:27:26.202 --> 00:27:26.902
  • We have, sirens going off here.
  • 00:27:26.902 --> 00:27:29.371
  • There's a missile alert, so we're going to end the show
  • 00:27:29.371 --> 00:27:31.474
  • That wasn't expected.
  • 00:27:31.474 --> 00:27:32.608
  • We've got to go to a bomb shelter.
  • 00:27:32.608 --> 00:27:33.943
  • This is joel rosenberg in ukraine, in kiev.
  • 00:27:33.943 --> 00:27:36.812
  • Pray for peace. god bless you.
  • 00:27:36.812 --> 00:27:36.812
