  • Tonight on the rosenberg report.
  • 00:00:01.024 --> 00:00:03.059
  • As america
  • 00:00:03.059 --> 00:00:04.260
  • Goes back to war and blasts hundreds of iranian targets.
  • 00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:07.697
  • President trump loses one of his closest friends.
  • 00:00:07.697 --> 00:00:11.267
  • Why is the sudden death
  • 00:00:11.267 --> 00:00:12.702
  • Of senator lindsey graham
  • 00:00:12.702 --> 00:00:14.137
  • Such a huge loss for the american people?
  • 00:00:14.137 --> 00:00:16.906
  • Evangelicals and for israel.
  • 00:00:16.906 --> 00:00:19.042
  • And with his reign,
  • 00:00:19.042 --> 00:00:19.943
  • The elections now set for october 27th.
  • 00:00:19.943 --> 00:00:22.912
  • Who's up, who's down and how should christians pray?
  • 00:00:22.912 --> 00:00:26.382
  • As we watch the super high stakes race unfold tonight,
  • 00:00:26.382 --> 00:00:30.453
  • I'll bring you the latest developments
  • 00:00:30.453 --> 00:00:32.255
  • And my analysis and exclusive excerpts
  • 00:00:32.255 --> 00:00:34.858
  • From my last conversation with my good friend,
  • 00:00:34.858 --> 00:00:38.027
  • Senator lindsey graham.
  • 00:00:38.027 --> 00:00:39.429
  • And it all starts right here, right now on the rosenberg
  • 00:00:39.429 --> 00:00:42.999
  • Report.
  • 00:00:42.999 --> 00:00:52.575
  • I was horrified when i first read
  • 00:00:53.309 --> 00:00:55.778
  • The memorandum of understanding that vice president jd vance
  • 00:00:55.778 --> 00:00:59.482
  • Negotiated and president trump signed with iran on june 17th.
  • 00:00:59.482 --> 00:01:03.520
  • I told you at the time that it was way too generous,
  • 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.556
  • And i did not trust the tyrants in tehran at all.
  • 00:01:06.556 --> 00:01:10.026
  • But i encourage you not to panic, but to pray.
  • 00:01:10.026 --> 00:01:13.263
  • And by god's grace and your prayers,
  • 00:01:13.263 --> 00:01:15.465
  • President trump saw the light.
  • 00:01:15.465 --> 00:01:17.233
  • He saw iran cheating.
  • 00:01:17.233 --> 00:01:18.935
  • He saw iran attacking oil
  • 00:01:18.935 --> 00:01:20.970
  • Tankers in the gulf and attacking our arab allies.
  • 00:01:20.970 --> 00:01:24.908
  • President trump saw the monstrosity of iran's state
  • 00:01:24.908 --> 00:01:28.378
  • Funeral for the wicked, self-proclaimed supreme leader.
  • 00:01:28.378 --> 00:01:31.814
  • He saw the open calls of death to america, no repentance.
  • 00:01:31.814 --> 00:01:35.985
  • And he saw iranian leaders
  • 00:01:35.985 --> 00:01:37.620
  • Openly vowing to assassinate him and other american leaders.
  • 00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:41.491
  • So, to his credit, president trump scrapped the deal,
  • 00:01:41.491 --> 00:01:45.228
  • Declare the cease fire over, and went back to war, bombing
  • 00:01:45.228 --> 00:01:49.933
  • Hundreds of iranian targets this week,
  • 00:01:49.933 --> 00:01:52.302
  • Reimposing an american naval blockade on iran
  • 00:01:52.302 --> 00:01:55.672
  • And vowing to keep the strait of hormuz open.
  • 00:01:55.672 --> 00:01:59.242
  • Amen.
  • 00:01:59.242 --> 00:01:59.943
  • And good evening from jerusalem,
  • 00:01:59.943 --> 00:02:01.411
  • And welcome to the rosenberg report.
  • 00:02:01.411 --> 00:02:04.414
  • It has been a very good week in terms of the reassertion
  • 00:02:05.481 --> 00:02:09.118
  • Of american leadership and power in the middle east,
  • 00:02:09.118 --> 00:02:12.188
  • And we have much to be thankful for.
  • 00:02:12.188 --> 00:02:14.357
  • But we also have to keep praying.
  • 00:02:14.357 --> 00:02:16.292
  • Okay. don't don't, don't breathe.
  • 00:02:16.292 --> 00:02:18.695
  • Breathe a complete sigh of relief.
  • 00:02:18.695 --> 00:02:20.029
  • We've got to keep praying.
  • 00:02:20.029 --> 00:02:21.197
  • Now, don't misunderstand me.
  • 00:02:21.197 --> 00:02:22.899
  • I don't like war.
  • 00:02:22.899 --> 00:02:24.267
  • I don't want war.
  • 00:02:24.267 --> 00:02:25.535
  • But we absolutely cannot
  • 00:02:25.535 --> 00:02:28.738
  • Allow the wicked, bloodthirsty iranian leadership to win
  • 00:02:28.738 --> 00:02:32.508
  • Or act like they're winning or sound like they're winning.
  • 00:02:32.508 --> 00:02:36.312
  • They can't threaten the united states or our allies.
  • 00:02:36.312 --> 00:02:39.082
  • We can't let them have any control
  • 00:02:39.082 --> 00:02:41.251
  • Over the strait of hormuz.
  • 00:02:41.251 --> 00:02:42.919
  • We can't have them have any pathway back
  • 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.256
  • To building ballistic missiles or nuclear weapons, period.
  • 00:02:46.256 --> 00:02:50.059
  • So may god bless president trump and his team
  • 00:02:50.059 --> 00:02:53.096
  • And grant them wisdom from above as they drop
  • 00:02:53.096 --> 00:02:56.633
  • The american hammer once again, and as they work hard to end
  • 00:02:56.633 --> 00:03:00.637
  • The iranian threat to america, to israel, and to humanity
  • 00:03:00.637 --> 00:03:05.108
  • Once and for all.
  • 00:03:05.108 --> 00:03:07.143
  • Now there's just one problem.
  • 00:03:07.143 --> 00:03:09.078
  • The commander in chief has just lost
  • 00:03:09.078 --> 00:03:11.414
  • One of his closest friends,
  • 00:03:11.414 --> 00:03:13.016
  • One of his most trusted allies and advisors on capitol hill,
  • 00:03:13.016 --> 00:03:17.186
  • And one of the chief architects of operation epic fury.
  • 00:03:17.186 --> 00:03:21.591
  • Senator lindsey
  • 00:03:21.591 --> 00:03:22.725
  • Graham of south carolina died suddenly and completely
  • 00:03:22.725 --> 00:03:26.229
  • Unexpectedly last friday night at the age of 71.
  • 00:03:26.229 --> 00:03:30.900
  • His death absolutely shocked me, stunned me, and he.
  • 00:03:30.900 --> 00:03:34.270
  • And it sad me. and i'll tell you why.
  • 00:03:34.270 --> 00:03:36.372
  • Senator lindsey graham and i were friends
  • 00:03:36.372 --> 00:03:38.141
  • For almost 15 years.
  • 00:03:38.141 --> 00:03:39.709
  • We didn't always see
  • 00:03:39.709 --> 00:03:40.910
  • Eye to eye, but on iran, we absolutely did.
  • 00:03:40.910 --> 00:03:44.113
  • His death is a huge loss for the american people,
  • 00:03:44.113 --> 00:03:46.616
  • And especially for the american military,
  • 00:03:46.616 --> 00:03:48.451
  • Because lindsey was a true american patriot.
  • 00:03:48.451 --> 00:03:51.120
  • He served in the united states
  • 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:52.455
  • Air force, including in the reserves, for 33 years,
  • 00:03:52.455 --> 00:03:56.359
  • Retiring as a colonel just a few years ago.
  • 00:03:56.359 --> 00:03:59.429
  • He was a champion of our troops, of a strong military,
  • 00:03:59.429 --> 00:04:03.433
  • Of great benefits for veterans and of peace through strength.
  • 00:04:03.433 --> 00:04:07.637
  • His death is a huge loss
  • 00:04:07.637 --> 00:04:09.305
  • For evangelical christians as well,
  • 00:04:09.305 --> 00:04:10.907
  • Because as an evangelical himself,
  • 00:04:10.907 --> 00:04:13.109
  • No one in washington
  • 00:04:13.109 --> 00:04:14.510
  • Was a bigger champion of religious freedom at home
  • 00:04:14.510 --> 00:04:17.613
  • Or abroad, of the pro-life movement, or of confirming
  • 00:04:17.613 --> 00:04:21.551
  • Pro-life pro freedom originalist justices on the united states
  • 00:04:21.551 --> 00:04:26.022
  • Supreme court than senator lindsey graham.
  • 00:04:26.022 --> 00:04:29.559
  • His death is also a huge loss for the american pro-israel
  • 00:04:29.559 --> 00:04:32.829
  • Movement. why?
  • 00:04:32.829 --> 00:04:34.063
  • Because no one in the senate came here to israel,
  • 00:04:34.063 --> 00:04:37.066
  • To jerusalem, more often, defended the us israeli alliance
  • 00:04:37.066 --> 00:04:41.104
  • More passionately or articulately, or could speak
  • 00:04:41.104 --> 00:04:45.241
  • More candidly or authoritatively with israeli and arab leaders
  • 00:04:45.241 --> 00:04:49.946
  • About how to establish lasting peace and security.
  • 00:04:49.946 --> 00:04:53.950
  • Even if they disagreed with him.
  • 00:04:53.950 --> 00:04:55.385
  • He not only had the ear and trust
  • 00:04:55.385 --> 00:04:57.754
  • Of american presidents of both parties,
  • 00:04:57.754 --> 00:04:59.956
  • He also had the ear and the trust of israeli prime
  • 00:04:59.956 --> 00:05:02.992
  • Minister benjamin netanyahu and israeli
  • 00:05:02.992 --> 00:05:05.361
  • President isaac herzog, and every leader in the world.
  • 00:05:05.361 --> 00:05:09.332
  • I saw that firsthand,
  • 00:05:09.332 --> 00:05:11.267
  • And i was deeply impressed and encouraged by it.
  • 00:05:11.267 --> 00:05:15.171
  • I sat down in washington last with senator graham on march
  • 00:05:15.171 --> 00:05:19.308
  • 3rd. as it happened
  • 00:05:19.308 --> 00:05:20.510
  • Just four days after operation epic fury began.
  • 00:05:20.510 --> 00:05:24.347
  • And tonight, i want to share with you
  • 00:05:24.347 --> 00:05:26.182
  • Some excerpts from our conversation,
  • 00:05:26.182 --> 00:05:28.251
  • Not simply to reminisce about a good friend, though.
  • 00:05:28.251 --> 00:05:30.620
  • That's a good thing to do.
  • 00:05:30.620 --> 00:05:32.221
  • A friend that i'll miss,
  • 00:05:32.221 --> 00:05:33.623
  • But to give you an opportunity to see why senator
  • 00:05:33.623 --> 00:05:37.260
  • Lindsey graham
  • 00:05:37.260 --> 00:05:38.461
  • Thought this military operation against iran was so vital
  • 00:05:38.461 --> 00:05:41.531
  • To american national security, and what he believed
  • 00:05:41.531 --> 00:05:44.901
  • Would happen next in the middle east once
  • 00:05:44.901 --> 00:05:47.904
  • The iranian threat is neutralized once and for all.
  • 00:05:47.904 --> 00:05:51.441
  • Take a look. how big a deal is this? i mean.
  • 00:05:51.441 --> 00:05:54.644
  • The biggest.
  • 00:05:54.977 --> 00:05:55.812
  • Okay, so i talked to the president
  • 00:05:55.812 --> 00:05:57.180
  • Right after he got elected.
  • 00:05:57.180 --> 00:05:58.815
  • Before he was sworn in, i said a couple things.
  • 00:05:58.815 --> 00:06:01.384
  • We need
  • 00:06:01.384 --> 00:06:02.618
  • To deal with the drug cartels in our backyard differently.
  • 00:06:02.618 --> 00:06:04.554
  • He has. you need to blow some stuff up.
  • 00:06:04.554 --> 00:06:06.222
  • He did venezuela. and i said, listen.
  • 00:06:06.222 --> 00:06:08.791
  • And the biggest prize in the mideast
  • 00:06:08.791 --> 00:06:10.426
  • With saudi arabia, the keeper of the holy mosque,
  • 00:06:10.426 --> 00:06:13.095
  • Mecca medina, to recognize israel,
  • 00:06:13.095 --> 00:06:15.131
  • The jewish state that would end there is really conflict.
  • 00:06:15.131 --> 00:06:18.334
  • I tried to help president biden do that,
  • 00:06:18.334 --> 00:06:19.936
  • Build on the abraham courts and got close.
  • 00:06:19.936 --> 00:06:21.838
  • October 7th was designed to stop normalization
  • 00:06:21.838 --> 00:06:25.842
  • Because iran's worst nightmare
  • 00:06:25.842 --> 00:06:27.710
  • Is for the arabs and the israelis to make peace.
  • 00:06:27.710 --> 00:06:30.012
  • So october 7th is trying to derail that.
  • 00:06:30.012 --> 00:06:32.782
  • But i told trump, i said, listen,
  • 00:06:32.782 --> 00:06:34.717
  • Eventually
  • 00:06:34.717 --> 00:06:35.618
  • Somebody is going to have to deal with
  • 00:06:35.618 --> 00:06:36.819
  • The mothership of terrorism, which is the iranian regime.
  • 00:06:36.819 --> 00:06:39.222
  • You will never have a stable world
  • 00:06:39.222 --> 00:06:40.890
  • Or a stable mideast as long as they're around.
  • 00:06:40.890 --> 00:06:42.859
  • They're committed to jihad.
  • 00:06:42.859 --> 00:06:44.460
  • They're committed to being a religious nazi.
  • 00:06:44.460 --> 00:06:46.596
  • So i think he absorbed that. so what happened?
  • 00:06:46.596 --> 00:06:48.898
  • Midnight hammer comes along and we dramatically obliterate
  • 00:06:48.898 --> 00:06:53.102
  • Their nuclear program, but they go right back at it.
  • 00:06:53.102 --> 00:06:55.438
  • So what have we learned?
  • 00:06:55.438 --> 00:06:56.939
  • That no matter what you do,
  • 00:06:56.939 --> 00:06:58.541
  • They're going to keep pursuing their agenda?
  • 00:06:58.541 --> 00:07:00.476
  • And what is it to purify islam, to destroy sunni islam
  • 00:07:00.476 --> 00:07:03.779
  • And replace it
  • 00:07:03.779 --> 00:07:04.780
  • With shia islam, to destroy the jewish state
  • 00:07:04.780 --> 00:07:06.682
  • Because they're compelled by god to do it.
  • 00:07:06.682 --> 00:07:08.317
  • And i'll have to do it in the third, is to come after us.
  • 00:07:08.317 --> 00:07:12.054
  • These are religious nazis.
  • 00:07:12.054 --> 00:07:14.590
  • You couldn't tell hitler
  • 00:07:14.590 --> 00:07:15.691
  • I'll kill killing the jews if you wanted to.
  • 00:07:15.691 --> 00:07:18.494
  • He was a nut. but.
  • 00:07:18.494 --> 00:07:19.662
  • But he believed it. chamberlain tried. chamberlain tried?
  • 00:07:19.662 --> 00:07:22.131
  • He had it.
  • 00:07:22.131 --> 00:07:23.299
  • That's right. so the point is, you got to confront evil.
  • 00:07:23.299 --> 00:07:25.001
  • So here's where we're at.
  • 00:07:25.001 --> 00:07:26.302
  • The president decided to call the question on a run.
  • 00:07:26.302 --> 00:07:29.906
  • The negotiations were hitting walls.
  • 00:07:29.906 --> 00:07:32.475
  • They were not going to give up their weapons.
  • 00:07:32.475 --> 00:07:34.043
  • They have a religious agenda and doesn't include me.
  • 00:07:34.043 --> 00:07:36.779
  • And you.
  • 00:07:36.779 --> 00:07:37.380
  • And steve.
  • 00:07:37.380 --> 00:07:38.648
  • Wycoff just told sean hannity that they bragged that they have
  • 00:07:38.648 --> 00:07:41.651
  • Enough highly enriched uranium for 11 nuclear weapons.
  • 00:07:41.651 --> 00:07:44.787
  • Well, they bragged about cheating.
  • 00:07:44.787 --> 00:07:46.322
  • And so they've been cheating all these years,
  • 00:07:46.322 --> 00:07:48.491
  • And they're done enough to say it. so what did trump do?
  • 00:07:48.491 --> 00:07:50.826
  • He called the question working with israel.
  • 00:07:50.826 --> 00:07:53.596
  • We have decapitated the mothership of terrorism
  • 00:07:53.596 --> 00:07:57.300
  • Is iran is sinking and the captain is dead.
  • 00:07:57.300 --> 00:08:01.237
  • Got to finish the job.
  • 00:08:01.237 --> 00:08:02.471
  • So we're going to continue to pound the infrastructure
  • 00:08:02.471 --> 00:08:05.474
  • That will allow the regime to intimidate the people.
  • 00:08:05.474 --> 00:08:08.578
  • People ask me what happens next.
  • 00:08:08.578 --> 00:08:10.079
  • I don't know, it's up to the iranian people.
  • 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:11.514
  • It's not my job or your job to rebuild iran.
  • 00:08:11.514 --> 00:08:14.216
  • It's our job to help if they want us to.
  • 00:08:14.216 --> 00:08:16.218
  • But whatever they do, it's going to be better than what we had.
  • 00:08:16.218 --> 00:08:19.589
  • If they want to go back down the jihad road,
  • 00:08:19.589 --> 00:08:21.757
  • We'll deal with them like we did in the past.
  • 00:08:21.757 --> 00:08:23.960
  • I don't think they do.
  • 00:08:23.960 --> 00:08:24.894
  • I don't think people are out in the streets
  • 00:08:24.894 --> 00:08:26.295
  • Getting killed by the 30,000
  • 00:08:26.295 --> 00:08:28.331
  • Plus to have more jihad, more ayatollah.
  • 00:08:28.331 --> 00:08:30.600
  • So but once the regime falls, it's not if it's
  • 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:34.103
  • When it's not, it's just when it falls.
  • 00:08:34.103 --> 00:08:37.106
  • It's not.
  • 00:08:37.106 --> 00:08:38.140
  • If it falls, then i'm going to turn my attention
  • 00:08:38.140 --> 00:08:39.909
  • To taking up or left off, trying to get israel and saudi
  • 00:08:39.909 --> 00:08:44.113
  • Arabia to recognize each other,
  • 00:08:44.113 --> 00:08:45.414
  • Which would be the end of the arab-israeli conflict,
  • 00:08:45.414 --> 00:08:48.017
  • The biggest prize on the planet.
  • 00:08:48.017 --> 00:08:49.418
  • And as to president trump, he's done
  • 00:08:49.418 --> 00:08:51.387
  • Something other presidents wouldn't do.
  • 00:08:51.387 --> 00:08:52.755
  • They talked about maduro. he did it.
  • 00:08:52.755 --> 00:08:54.190
  • They talked about the ayatollah. he did it.
  • 00:08:54.190 --> 00:08:55.958
  • So god bless president
  • 00:08:55.958 --> 00:08:57.193
  • Trump and pray for him and pray for our friends in israel.
  • 00:08:57.193 --> 00:09:00.396
  • Coming up next on the rosenberg report, i'll share with you
  • 00:09:00.396 --> 00:09:03.666
  • More of my last conversation with senator lindsey graham.
  • 00:09:03.666 --> 00:09:07.470
  • Why did he believe that
  • 00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:08.704
  • The only way to broker a game changing peace deal
  • 00:09:08.704 --> 00:09:12.241
  • Between israel and saudi arabia is to persuade
  • 00:09:12.241 --> 00:09:15.177
  • Israel to accept the creation of a palestinian state?
  • 00:09:15.177 --> 00:09:18.381
  • And with israeli elections set for october 27th.
  • 00:09:18.381 --> 00:09:21.751
  • Who's up, who's down and how should christians pray?
  • 00:09:21.751 --> 00:09:24.920
  • As we watch this super high stakes race unfold,
  • 00:09:24.920 --> 00:09:28.424
  • Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn
  • 00:09:28.424 --> 00:09:31.827
  • Right after this break.
  • 00:09:31.827 --> 00:09:34.009
  • Right after this break.
  • 00:09:34.009 --> 00:09:37.668
  • As we remember tonight, the legacy and impact of the late
  • 00:09:38.835 --> 00:09:42.039
  • Senator lindsey graham, a titan of american
  • 00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:45.175
  • Liberty at home and abroad, and a great champion
  • 00:09:45.175 --> 00:09:48.311
  • Of an ever stronger us-israel alliance.
  • 00:09:48.311 --> 00:09:51.081
  • I want to share with you more from our last conversation. why?
  • 00:09:51.081 --> 00:09:55.352
  • Because i asked him where he thought the middle east
  • 00:09:55.352 --> 00:09:58.388
  • Will go once the iranian threat is gone.
  • 00:09:58.388 --> 00:10:01.425
  • And i was absolutely intrigued, almost stunned
  • 00:10:01.425 --> 00:10:05.429
  • Really, by his answer.
  • 00:10:05.429 --> 00:10:07.130
  • If you want mbs
  • 00:10:07.130 --> 00:10:08.265
  • Which i do to recognize israel, he's
  • 00:10:08.265 --> 00:10:10.267
  • Going to have to do it in a way not to get killed.
  • 00:10:10.267 --> 00:10:12.035
  • Yeah, they want a defense agreement
  • 00:10:12.035 --> 00:10:13.737
  • With the united states,
  • 00:10:13.737 --> 00:10:15.305
  • Which means that we would go to war if they're attacked
  • 00:10:15.305 --> 00:10:18.542
  • Like any other defense agreement.
  • 00:10:18.542 --> 00:10:20.177
  • How do you sell that?
  • 00:10:20.177 --> 00:10:21.511
  • 50 republicans would do it
  • 00:10:21.511 --> 00:10:22.946
  • Because trump
  • 00:10:22.946 --> 00:10:24.181
  • Thought it was a good idea, and he thought it was a good idea.
  • 00:10:24.181 --> 00:10:26.950
  • You're not going to get any democratic votes
  • 00:10:26.950 --> 00:10:28.985
  • Unless you have some answer to the palestinian problem,
  • 00:10:28.985 --> 00:10:32.322
  • And you're never going to solve the mideast
  • 00:10:32.322 --> 00:10:34.057
  • Until you have some answer
  • 00:10:34.057 --> 00:10:35.192
  • To the palestinian problem before october the 7th.
  • 00:10:35.192 --> 00:10:38.228
  • Things were different after october the 7th.
  • 00:10:38.228 --> 00:10:40.630
  • The space in israel for a two state solution is really shrunk.
  • 00:10:40.630 --> 00:10:44.334
  • The ability of ms.
  • 00:10:44.334 --> 00:10:45.602
  • To recognize israel after gaza is really shrunk.
  • 00:10:45.602 --> 00:10:48.371
  • So we're going to have to one
  • 00:10:48.371 --> 00:10:49.873
  • Eliminate the mothership of terrorism, iran,
  • 00:10:49.873 --> 00:10:52.442
  • Then sit down and have hard conversations among ourselves.
  • 00:10:52.442 --> 00:10:55.212
  • I do not expect israel
  • 00:10:55.212 --> 00:10:56.813
  • To create a palestinian enclave or state that can ever generate
  • 00:10:56.813 --> 00:11:00.584
  • Another october 7th.
  • 00:11:00.584 --> 00:11:01.785
  • Who would want that?
  • 00:11:01.785 --> 00:11:02.753
  • But to expect mbs
  • 00:11:02.753 --> 00:11:04.788
  • To recognize israel without some accommodation
  • 00:11:04.788 --> 00:11:07.491
  • For the palestinians? it's not going to happen.
  • 00:11:07.491 --> 00:11:09.626
  • He would literally get killed.
  • 00:11:09.626 --> 00:11:10.894
  • So how do you do this?
  • 00:11:10.894 --> 00:11:13.463
  • I'm hearing
  • 00:11:13.463 --> 00:11:14.598
  • That he's only asking for a clear, incredible pathway.
  • 00:11:14.598 --> 00:11:17.000
  • Well, but that is still difficult for anybody.
  • 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.102
  • Even everything. everything to say. right?
  • 00:11:19.102 --> 00:11:21.004
  • Yeah.
  • 00:11:21.004 --> 00:11:22.072
  • It's difficult, but, you know, life is difficult.
  • 00:11:22.072 --> 00:11:24.107
  • All i can say is that support for israel is down,
  • 00:11:24.107 --> 00:11:26.376
  • Not up for israel
  • 00:11:26.376 --> 00:11:28.111
  • In the international community is at its lowest point.
  • 00:11:28.111 --> 00:11:31.214
  • Support for israel is shrinking here.
  • 00:11:31.214 --> 00:11:33.383
  • The democrat got involved there in israel.
  • 00:11:33.383 --> 00:11:35.919
  • If i were israel,
  • 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:37.020
  • I would do this deal and solidify my relationship
  • 00:11:37.020 --> 00:11:40.857
  • With the united states and saudi arabia while i can.
  • 00:11:40.857 --> 00:11:44.194
  • While you have president trump in the.
  • 00:11:44.194 --> 00:11:45.829
  • While, you got a friend.
  • 00:11:45.829 --> 00:11:47.531
  • If you let this moment pass, you're going to regret it.
  • 00:11:47.531 --> 00:11:50.133
  • I'm not asking israel to commit collective suicide.
  • 00:11:50.133 --> 00:11:52.903
  • I'm not asking israel. to know.
  • 00:11:52.903 --> 00:11:54.371
  • But it will be, as we say, okay, i promise.
  • 00:11:54.371 --> 00:11:57.374
  • My question was, hey, hey,
  • 00:11:57.374 --> 00:11:58.708
  • After october 7th, the world has changed.
  • 00:11:58.708 --> 00:12:00.577
  • We're on defense.
  • 00:12:00.577 --> 00:12:01.678
  • And your answer is essentially, after february 28th,
  • 00:12:01.678 --> 00:12:05.782
  • The top leadership of the worst enemies of israel are gone.
  • 00:12:05.782 --> 00:12:09.452
  • So the world has changed again and we can make choices.
  • 00:12:09.452 --> 00:12:13.390
  • We've changed it again.
  • 00:12:13.390 --> 00:12:14.825
  • The only reason we didn't do normalization was saudis.
  • 00:12:14.825 --> 00:12:17.494
  • Was because of october 7th.
  • 00:12:17.494 --> 00:12:18.962
  • Now, october 7th was generated by iran and hamas
  • 00:12:18.962 --> 00:12:22.265
  • To stop normalization.
  • 00:12:22.732 --> 00:12:24.100
  • That's the fear of the iranian regime. well, there are no more.
  • 00:12:24.100 --> 00:12:27.037
  • Hamas will soon be no more.
  • 00:12:27.037 --> 00:12:28.872
  • Iran's terrorist state will soon be replaced.
  • 00:12:28.872 --> 00:12:32.342
  • You take that off the table,
  • 00:12:32.342 --> 00:12:33.577
  • Then you need to go back and think, okay,
  • 00:12:33.577 --> 00:12:35.745
  • What's the best way for sustainable peace is to have
  • 00:12:35.745 --> 00:12:39.616
  • A relationship with mbs that's economic.
  • 00:12:39.616 --> 00:12:42.519
  • That's normal.
  • 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:43.553
  • Have embassies, do business with saudi arabia,
  • 00:12:43.553 --> 00:12:47.190
  • Have common defense architecture that protects israel
  • 00:12:47.190 --> 00:12:51.027
  • More than any single thing. i could think of.
  • 00:12:51.027 --> 00:12:53.063
  • The antidote to
  • 00:12:53.063 --> 00:12:54.231
  • Israel's problems in the future is regional integration,
  • 00:12:54.231 --> 00:12:57.934
  • Where the arabs accept israel, not try to destroy israel.
  • 00:12:57.934 --> 00:13:01.471
  • Now he's got to get something to the palestinian cause is
  • 00:13:01.471 --> 00:13:05.942
  • Democrats are not going to vote for a treaty
  • 00:13:05.942 --> 00:13:07.911
  • Unless there's something for the palestinians.
  • 00:13:07.911 --> 00:13:10.146
  • And that's just a fact.
  • 00:13:10.146 --> 00:13:11.715
  • And what that something is, is a subject to negotiation.
  • 00:13:11.715 --> 00:13:15.352
  • What can bibi do? that's enough for mbs
  • 00:13:15.352 --> 00:13:18.321
  • Maybe they can't get there.
  • 00:13:18.321 --> 00:13:19.422
  • But i know this trumps your guy, and i'd like to do
  • 00:13:19.422 --> 00:13:23.460
  • A defense agreement with israel. we don't have one.
  • 00:13:23.460 --> 00:13:26.196
  • I'd like to make sure
  • 00:13:26.196 --> 00:13:27.430
  • Going forward that no matter who's in the white house,
  • 00:13:27.430 --> 00:13:31.034
  • We have a defense agreement with israel
  • 00:13:31.034 --> 00:13:33.703
  • Pledging our support, because i worry about the future
  • 00:13:34.771 --> 00:13:37.741
  • Of the democratic party when it comes to israel,
  • 00:13:37.741 --> 00:13:39.843
  • The best thing for israel
  • 00:13:39.843 --> 00:13:41.077
  • Is to sign a defense agreement with the united states
  • 00:13:41.077 --> 00:13:43.580
  • While trump is president, lock that relationship in as a treaty
  • 00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:47.651
  • And also to end the arab-israeli conflict.
  • 00:13:47.651 --> 00:13:50.620
  • Do a do do an agreement with saudi arabia
  • 00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:54.257
  • Where they recognize the jewish state.
  • 00:13:54.257 --> 00:13:56.159
  • It just blows my mind that the center of islam, saudi
  • 00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:59.896
  • Arabia, is open to recognizing the jewish state.
  • 00:13:59.896 --> 00:14:03.099
  • Extraordinary. that is extraordinary.
  • 00:14:03.099 --> 00:14:05.502
  • I. also had to ask senator graham,
  • 00:14:05.502 --> 00:14:09.105
  • How does he respond to
  • 00:14:09.572 --> 00:14:10.907
  • The accusations by tucker carlson, candace owens, megan
  • 00:14:10.907 --> 00:14:13.977
  • Kelly and the neo-nazi and others
  • 00:14:13.977 --> 00:14:18.014
  • That that president trump was dragged into this war
  • 00:14:18.014 --> 00:14:21.117
  • With iran by prime minister of israel bibi benjamin
  • 00:14:21.117 --> 00:14:24.988
  • Netanyahu and the israeli people, like, like that
  • 00:14:24.988 --> 00:14:29.292
  • Is becoming such an accusation with such intensity.
  • 00:14:29.292 --> 00:14:33.697
  • The president was asked this marco rubio was asked
  • 00:14:33.697 --> 00:14:36.433
  • This this week,
  • 00:14:36.433 --> 00:14:37.634
  • And i had to ask senator graham for his response as well.
  • 00:14:37.634 --> 00:14:41.237
  • Was president trump dragged into this.
  • 00:14:41.237 --> 00:14:44.040
  • This narrative
  • 00:14:44.040 --> 00:14:45.275
  • That the jews are a problem for christians and americans?
  • 00:14:45.275 --> 00:14:47.777
  • Is really anti-semitism at its heart, that the jewish
  • 00:14:47.777 --> 00:14:52.082
  • People are a problem, that the jewish people
  • 00:14:52.082 --> 00:14:56.319
  • Get you in trouble.
  • 00:14:56.786 --> 00:14:57.787
  • No, jewish people are chosen a gun.
  • 00:14:57.787 --> 00:15:00.223
  • I believe god blesses those who bless israel.
  • 00:15:00.223 --> 00:15:02.792
  • I believe that you believe that. so what is this all about?
  • 00:15:02.792 --> 00:15:05.695
  • These people around in the 30s, father and coughlin,
  • 00:15:05.695 --> 00:15:08.698
  • Stay and stay out.
  • 00:15:08.698 --> 00:15:09.933
  • You know what happens in europe doesn't matter to us.
  • 00:15:09.933 --> 00:15:12.602
  • Hitler is not our problem until it was.
  • 00:15:12.602 --> 00:15:14.838
  • So anytime a force comes along that wants to destroy people
  • 00:15:14.838 --> 00:15:18.842
  • Because they're different, you'll eventually feel it.
  • 00:15:18.842 --> 00:15:22.078
  • He wanted to kill all the jews. hitler did.
  • 00:15:22.078 --> 00:15:24.147
  • He wanted a master aryan race.
  • 00:15:24.147 --> 00:15:26.282
  • Nobody believed him. they should have.
  • 00:15:26.282 --> 00:15:28.385
  • They had a chance to stop him. they didn't.
  • 00:15:28.385 --> 00:15:31.121
  • Iran wants to purify islam, destroy saudi arabia,
  • 00:15:31.121 --> 00:15:34.190
  • Take over the faith, destroy the jews and come after us.
  • 00:15:34.190 --> 00:15:37.427
  • So here's what i would say to to that element.
  • 00:15:37.427 --> 00:15:40.930
  • They have their head in the sand.
  • 00:15:41.664 --> 00:15:42.999
  • In their world.
  • 00:15:42.999 --> 00:15:44.167
  • There are really no evil people in their world that i.
  • 00:15:44.167 --> 00:15:47.437
  • Told jews and christians who love. jews, right?
  • 00:15:47.437 --> 00:15:49.305
  • That's right. except bibi and trump, right?
  • 00:15:49.305 --> 00:15:51.975
  • The truth of the matter is,
  • 00:15:51.975 --> 00:15:54.377
  • If the ayatollah had a nuclear weapon,
  • 00:15:54.377 --> 00:15:56.880
  • He would use it as part of his religious agenda.
  • 00:15:56.880 --> 00:15:59.215
  • If he could hit a miracle, the missile, he would.
  • 00:15:59.215 --> 00:16:01.384
  • I believe that hitler told everybody
  • 00:16:01.384 --> 00:16:03.753
  • What he wanted to do and they ignored him.
  • 00:16:03.753 --> 00:16:05.955
  • Trump, to his credit, believes the ayatollah
  • 00:16:05.955 --> 00:16:08.291
  • And the ayatollah was no more.
  • 00:16:08.291 --> 00:16:09.626
  • So when you hear these people saying, don't get involved,
  • 00:16:09.626 --> 00:16:12.762
  • That's what they said in the 30s.
  • 00:16:12.762 --> 00:16:14.397
  • And by the time we got involved.
  • 00:16:14.397 --> 00:16:17.200
  • It was far deadlier, right?
  • 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:18.935
  • Far more.
  • 00:16:18.935 --> 00:16:19.769
  • 50 million people died, maybe 100,
  • 00:16:19.769 --> 00:16:23.273
  • Because we didn't confront it.
  • 00:16:23.273 --> 00:16:25.775
  • God has commanded us as christians
  • 00:16:25.775 --> 00:16:29.312
  • To be faithful to israel.
  • 00:16:29.312 --> 00:16:32.115
  • I'm going to be faithful to american foreign policy
  • 00:16:32.115 --> 00:16:34.818
  • Interest, and israel is the best ally you could hope for.
  • 00:16:34.818 --> 00:16:38.721
  • They do all the fighting and then some.
  • 00:16:38.721 --> 00:16:41.991
  • They ask for our help as a last resort.
  • 00:16:41.991 --> 00:16:44.294
  • They've never asked for one
  • 00:16:44.294 --> 00:16:45.295
  • American soldier to going on the ground.
  • 00:16:45.295 --> 00:16:47.597
  • They're a godsend to the american defense infrastructure.
  • 00:16:47.597 --> 00:16:50.333
  • They provide us technology we couldn't develop ourselves.
  • 00:16:50.333 --> 00:16:54.304
  • Israel is a very big plus for america.
  • 00:16:54.304 --> 00:16:57.574
  • Look,
  • 00:16:57.574 --> 00:16:58.541
  • I didn't always agree with lindsey graham,
  • 00:16:58.541 --> 00:17:00.310
  • But i loved his humor.
  • 00:17:00.310 --> 00:17:01.811
  • I loved his intellect and his candor.
  • 00:17:01.811 --> 00:17:04.314
  • I'm going to miss my friend.
  • 00:17:04.314 --> 00:17:06.015
  • But because he'd placed his face in the death and resurrection
  • 00:17:06.015 --> 00:17:09.953
  • Of jesus, the messiah, jesus christ, i know where he is.
  • 00:17:09.953 --> 00:17:13.123
  • He's in heaven right now, forever with his savior,
  • 00:17:13.123 --> 00:17:16.759
  • And i look forward to one day seeing him again
  • 00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.429
  • And walking together down those golden streets of glory.
  • 00:17:19.429 --> 00:17:23.900
  • Coming up next on the rosenberg report,
  • 00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:26.269
  • With israeli elections now set for october 27th.
  • 00:17:26.269 --> 00:17:30.073
  • Who's up, who's down and how should christians pray?
  • 00:17:30.073 --> 00:17:33.510
  • As we watch this super high stakes race unfold.
  • 00:17:33.510 --> 00:17:37.180
  • Find out when the rosenberg reports continues on tbn
  • 00:17:37.180 --> 00:17:41.017
  • Right after this break.
  • 00:17:41.017 --> 00:17:44.009
  • Right after this break.
  • 00:17:44.009 --> 00:17:47.733
  • This week, the knesset
  • 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:49.801
  • Set the date for israel's next national elections.
  • 00:17:49.801 --> 00:17:53.105
  • October 27th.
  • 00:17:53.105 --> 00:17:54.439
  • So who's up, who's down and how should christians pray
  • 00:17:54.439 --> 00:17:58.477
  • As we watch this super high stakes race unfold?
  • 00:17:58.477 --> 00:18:02.247
  • Well, for starters,
  • 00:18:02.247 --> 00:18:03.282
  • You need to know that bibi is in trouble.
  • 00:18:03.282 --> 00:18:05.717
  • Politically, the latest polls show that he and his likud party
  • 00:18:05.717 --> 00:18:08.987
  • Have dropped from about 33/34 seats,
  • 00:18:08.987 --> 00:18:11.957
  • Now down to about 22 or 23.
  • 00:18:11.957 --> 00:18:14.960
  • That is a huge drop.
  • 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:16.228
  • The head of a major ultra-orthodox party,
  • 00:18:16.228 --> 00:18:19.598
  • One of netanyahu's closest political allies, has
  • 00:18:19.598 --> 00:18:22.768
  • Just announced netanyahu as a liar who cannot be trusted.
  • 00:18:22.768 --> 00:18:27.039
  • Ouch.
  • 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:28.440
  • To make amends.
  • 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:29.408
  • Bibi█s trying to pass legislation
  • 00:18:29.408 --> 00:18:31.410
  • That makes the heridi the ultra-orthodox happy again,
  • 00:18:31.410 --> 00:18:34.746
  • By exempting their sons from having to serve in the idf.
  • 00:18:34.746 --> 00:18:39.218
  • At the same time, however, the knesset is passing legislation
  • 00:18:39.218 --> 00:18:43.155
  • To extend the amount of time that current soldiers in the idf
  • 00:18:43.155 --> 00:18:47.993
  • Have to serve and fight, and that, in turn is infuriating.
  • 00:18:47.993 --> 00:18:52.164
  • Many middle classes rally families whose fathers
  • 00:18:52.164 --> 00:18:56.001
  • And mothers, sons and daughters, aunts and uncles do, do serve.
  • 00:18:56.001 --> 00:19:00.205
  • They have to serve in the idf and have been fighting on seven
  • 00:19:00.205 --> 00:19:04.276
  • Fronts for nearly three years, and they're utterly exhausted.
  • 00:19:04.276 --> 00:19:08.380
  • Earlier this spring, as you may recall, i did a two part
  • 00:19:08.380 --> 00:19:11.483
  • Interview with former israeli prime minister natali bennett.
  • 00:19:11.483 --> 00:19:15.754
  • He's demanding that all israelis do their fair
  • 00:19:15.754 --> 00:19:18.423
  • Share and serve in the idf, and at the time, he was bibi█s
  • 00:19:18.423 --> 00:19:22.928
  • Main challenger and steadily rising in the polls.
  • 00:19:22.928 --> 00:19:26.265
  • But that was then,
  • 00:19:26.265 --> 00:19:28.200
  • After that interview, just days after bennett, a devout right
  • 00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:31.670
  • Winger, merged his party with that of year
  • 00:19:31.670 --> 00:19:35.007
  • Lapid, a center left former prime minister.
  • 00:19:35.007 --> 00:19:38.543
  • Bennett thought that that would create an unstoppable force
  • 00:19:38.543 --> 00:19:42.547
  • That would unify all the anti bibi votes behind him.
  • 00:19:42.547 --> 00:19:46.585
  • But that plan backfired.
  • 00:19:46.585 --> 00:19:49.221
  • Ever since, as all israel news has been reporting
  • 00:19:49.221 --> 00:19:51.990
  • Every step of the way a new political voice.
  • 00:19:51.990 --> 00:19:55.127
  • Gadi has been steadily rising in the polls
  • 00:19:55.127 --> 00:19:58.630
  • While the bennett lapid party has been bleeding voters.
  • 00:19:58.630 --> 00:20:02.968
  • Eisenhardt is a gruff, no nonsense, plain talking.
  • 00:20:02.968 --> 00:20:06.705
  • Former idf chief of staff for moroccan jewish roots,
  • 00:20:06.705 --> 00:20:11.209
  • He only entered the knesset in 2022 and served
  • 00:20:11.209 --> 00:20:15.147
  • As a senior minister in bibi█s war cabinet after october 7th.
  • 00:20:15.147 --> 00:20:20.018
  • But after several months after his son was killed
  • 00:20:20.018 --> 00:20:23.989
  • Fighting in gaza,
  • 00:20:23.989 --> 00:20:25.590
  • Two of his nephews were killed in battle as well.
  • 00:20:25.590 --> 00:20:29.127
  • Eisenstadt resigned.
  • 00:20:29.594 --> 00:20:31.196
  • He resigned in protest from netanyahu's war cabinet,
  • 00:20:31.196 --> 00:20:34.766
  • Saying that netanyahu was not waging the war shrewdly
  • 00:20:34.766 --> 00:20:38.470
  • And strategically enough,
  • 00:20:38.470 --> 00:20:40.272
  • A criticism that and his team vehemently denied.
  • 00:20:40.272 --> 00:20:44.309
  • Nevertheless, eisenkot is suddenly on the rise.
  • 00:20:44.309 --> 00:20:48.313
  • His party has surged since may, rising from about nine seats
  • 00:20:48.313 --> 00:20:52.584
  • In the polls to about 23 or 24 today, more than bebe and likud.
  • 00:20:52.584 --> 00:20:58.223
  • So right now, gadi eisenhardt is the man to watch.
  • 00:20:58.223 --> 00:21:02.060
  • Look, neither
  • 00:21:02.060 --> 00:21:03.261
  • The rosenberg report nor all israel news takes a position
  • 00:21:03.261 --> 00:21:06.765
  • We're not endorsing anyone.
  • 00:21:06.765 --> 00:21:08.433
  • We're just covering the race and telling you
  • 00:21:08.433 --> 00:21:10.502
  • What you need to know.
  • 00:21:10.502 --> 00:21:11.903
  • I can't tell you who israelis should elect in october
  • 00:21:11.903 --> 00:21:15.807
  • Or whom they will elect.
  • 00:21:15.807 --> 00:21:17.476
  • I can tell you that the stakes are incredibly high.
  • 00:21:17.476 --> 00:21:20.379
  • I mean, they could not be higher.
  • 00:21:20.379 --> 00:21:21.680
  • And we need to trust the lord for the outcome.
  • 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:24.583
  • As we read in daniel chapter two
  • 00:21:24.583 --> 00:21:39.798
  • Amen.
  • 00:21:40.031 --> 00:21:40.899
  • Well, let's pray then, without ceasing,
  • 00:21:40.899 --> 00:21:43.168
  • For the lord's will to be done here
  • 00:21:43.168 --> 00:21:45.470
  • In israel in the midterm elections in the united states,
  • 00:21:45.470 --> 00:21:48.540
  • And certainly, of course, in iran and the gulf.
  • 00:21:48.540 --> 00:21:51.476
  • And that is our show for tonight.
  • 00:21:51.476 --> 00:21:53.545
  • Thank you so much for watching.
  • 00:21:53.545 --> 00:21:55.347
  • May the lord bless you and your family
  • 00:21:55.347 --> 00:21:57.115
  • As you walk with the lord this week,
  • 00:21:57.115 --> 00:21:58.683
  • As you spend time with him in his word, as you
  • 00:21:58.683 --> 00:22:01.620
  • Pray, as you spend time in worship
  • 00:22:01.620 --> 00:22:03.488
  • And fellowship with other believers,
  • 00:22:03.488 --> 00:22:05.424
  • As you care for the poor and needy,
  • 00:22:05.424 --> 00:22:07.926
  • Especially for widows and orphans,
  • 00:22:07.926 --> 00:22:09.861
  • And as you continue to pray for the peace of jerusalem
  • 00:22:09.861 --> 00:22:12.664
  • And seek to
  • 00:22:12.664 --> 00:22:13.765
  • Bless israel and her neighbors in the name of jesus.
  • 00:22:13.765 --> 00:22:17.302
  • May god give you a truly wonderful week.
  • 00:22:17.302 --> 00:22:20.238
  • Lord willing,
  • 00:22:20.238 --> 00:22:21.473
  • I'll see you next week right here on the rosenberg report.
  • 00:22:21.473 --> 00:22:21.473
