- What does every christian need
- 00:00:02.992 --> 00:00:04.594
- To know about the trump vance deal with iran?
- 00:00:04.594 --> 00:00:07.831
- Can the deal be toughened over the next 60 days?
- 00:00:07.831 --> 00:00:11.000
- Why is one highly respected israeli foreign policy expert
- 00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:15.071
- Convinced that president trump is doing
- 00:00:15.071 --> 00:00:16.773
- Exactly the right thing?
- 00:00:16.773 --> 00:00:18.241
- And why is it time for evengelicals
- 00:00:18.241 --> 00:00:20.110
- To come back to israel and attend our epicenter summit
- 00:00:20.110 --> 00:00:24.114
- Next spring?
- 00:00:24.114 --> 00:00:25.081
- It's my first interview with doctor dan diker,
- 00:00:25.081 --> 00:00:28.151
- President of the jerusalem center
- 00:00:28.151 --> 00:00:30.220
- For security and foreign affairs,
- 00:00:30.220 --> 00:00:31.988
- And it all starts right here, right now on the rosenberg
- 00:00:31.988 --> 00:00:35.558
- Report.
- 00:00:35.558 --> 00:00:45.468
- I'm not going to lie to you.
- 00:00:46.069 --> 00:00:47.470
- I was horrified when i first read the iran deal
- 00:00:47.470 --> 00:00:50.707
- That was just unveiled,
- 00:00:50.707 --> 00:00:51.908
- And i remain discouraged, although i think
- 00:00:51.908 --> 00:00:53.776
- There are some reasons for hope.
- 00:00:53.776 --> 00:00:55.278
- But this is not a good deal as it's currently written.
- 00:00:55.278 --> 00:00:58.515
- And tonight i'm going to walk you through what every christian
- 00:00:58.515 --> 00:01:02.519
- Needs to know about this deal the good, the bad, and the ugly.
- 00:01:02.519 --> 00:01:07.157
- Good evening,
- 00:01:07.157 --> 00:01:08.224
- And welcome to the rosenberg report from jerusalem.
- 00:01:08.224 --> 00:01:10.793
- It's good to be back.
- 00:01:10.793 --> 00:01:11.794
- I was in the states and in the uk,
- 00:01:11.794 --> 00:01:14.797
- Speaking at churches
- 00:01:14.797 --> 00:01:15.798
- All over and meeting with evangelical leaders
- 00:01:15.798 --> 00:01:17.901
- And of course, reporting from capitol hill
- 00:01:17.901 --> 00:01:19.936
- As the as the news of this deal just began to break
- 00:01:19.936 --> 00:01:23.573
- And i was already hearing real discouragement,
- 00:01:23.573 --> 00:01:26.309
- Real surprise, shock, even from members of congress,
- 00:01:26.309 --> 00:01:29.913
- Both the house and the senate and others
- 00:01:29.913 --> 00:01:32.148
- In the foreign policy world.
- 00:01:32.148 --> 00:01:34.117
- Now, i want to begin, though, by saying i am deeply grateful
- 00:01:34.117 --> 00:01:37.654
- That president trump did what
- 00:01:37.654 --> 00:01:39.355
- No other american president in history has ever done.
- 00:01:39.355 --> 00:01:42.192
- He attacked and he destroyed the iranian regime.
- 00:01:42.192 --> 00:01:45.195
- He took out the ayatollah khamenei, the supreme leader,
- 00:01:45.195 --> 00:01:48.998
- And all of his top leadership.
- 00:01:48.998 --> 00:01:50.500
- And he took out, with israel's help, most of iran's military
- 00:01:50.500 --> 00:01:55.171
- Might, most of its offensive military capabilities.
- 00:01:55.171 --> 00:01:57.907
- And it did.
- 00:01:57.907 --> 00:01:59.008
- He did so in close, close partnership with israel
- 00:01:59.008 --> 00:02:02.912
- And prime minister benjamin netanyahu,
- 00:02:02.912 --> 00:02:05.181
- Trump's number one most trusted ally in the middle east.
- 00:02:05.181 --> 00:02:08.418
- Thank god this is this was huge, as trump would say.
- 00:02:08.418 --> 00:02:12.422
- It was huge.
- 00:02:12.422 --> 00:02:13.223
- It was fantastic.
- 00:02:13.223 --> 00:02:15.959
- And i don't want to lose track of that.
- 00:02:14.691 --> 00:02:17.360
- I don't want you to lose track of it.
- 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.195
- But this deal, this memorandum of understanding, this mou, it's
- 00:02:19.195 --> 00:02:23.666
- 14 points. not good.
- 00:02:23.666 --> 00:02:25.735
- The deal is actually terrible as it's written and it's
- 00:02:25.735 --> 00:02:28.972
- Stunning to me why vice president
- 00:02:28.972 --> 00:02:32.375
- Jd vance would negotiate such a bad deal.
- 00:02:32.375 --> 00:02:36.312
- More holes in there than than nabokov.
- 00:02:36.312 --> 00:02:38.381
- Swiss cheese.
- 00:02:38.381 --> 00:02:39.148
- We're going to walk through those.
- 00:02:39.148 --> 00:02:40.383
- Even more stunning
- 00:02:40.383 --> 00:02:41.484
- Was why president trump would agree to it and sign it.
- 00:02:41.484 --> 00:02:45.221
- Now, a big question is this can the deal be fixed over
- 00:02:45.221 --> 00:02:49.092
- The next 60 days? right.
- 00:02:49.092 --> 00:02:50.426
- The mo is just the framework.
- 00:02:50.426 --> 00:02:52.795
- And then they're supposed to fill in all the details.
- 00:02:52.795 --> 00:02:55.798
- Maybe maybe it can be strengthened.
- 00:02:55.798 --> 00:02:57.834
- Maybe it can be toughened over the next 60 days.
- 00:02:57.834 --> 00:03:00.737
- We'll get to that.
- 00:03:00.737 --> 00:03:02.372
- And i also want to say that iran is already breaking the deal.
- 00:03:02.372 --> 00:03:06.109
- The cease fire has already been broken
- 00:03:06.109 --> 00:03:07.543
- Numerous times by iran, by hezbollah.
- 00:03:07.543 --> 00:03:10.146
- And to his credit, president trump is shooting back.
- 00:03:10.146 --> 00:03:14.217
- Okay. those are good things.
- 00:03:14.217 --> 00:03:16.252
- And president trump is allowing giving freedom of movement
- 00:03:16.252 --> 00:03:20.023
- To prime minister
- 00:03:20.023 --> 00:03:21.190
- Netanyahu and the israelis to shoot back at hezbollah.
- 00:03:21.190 --> 00:03:24.494
- Also, those are important elements
- 00:03:24.494 --> 00:03:26.596
- That didn't look like they were going to be allowed,
- 00:03:26.596 --> 00:03:30.199
- Or that president trump
- 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:31.334
- Was even going to get into a firefight with iran again
- 00:03:31.334 --> 00:03:33.836
- When the deal was first announced.
- 00:03:33.836 --> 00:03:36.172
- So there's a lot of questions, and we're going to go through
- 00:03:36.172 --> 00:03:39.242
- All of them tonight.
- 00:03:39.242 --> 00:03:40.276
- But first, i do want to lay out for you
- 00:03:40.276 --> 00:03:42.545
- The seven worst elements of the deal that president
- 00:03:42.545 --> 00:03:45.815
- Trump and vice president
- 00:03:45.815 --> 00:03:47.250
- Vance just signed with iran, as i see them first.
- 00:03:47.250 --> 00:03:51.321
- President trump
- 00:03:51.321 --> 00:03:52.422
- Promised to force iran into an unconditional surrender.
- 00:03:52.422 --> 00:03:57.060
- Do you remember that?
- 00:03:57.060 --> 00:03:58.227
- But that's not what he's done.
- 00:03:58.227 --> 00:04:00.697
- There's no way that you can look at this deal
- 00:04:00.697 --> 00:04:04.133
- And say that the iranians have unconditionally surrendered.
- 00:04:04.133 --> 00:04:07.036
- They certainly aren't acting like they've surrendered.
- 00:04:07.036 --> 00:04:10.039
- They're not talking like they've surrendered.
- 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:11.474
- There's no language of surrender in this document.
- 00:04:11.474 --> 00:04:14.377
- That's disappointing,
- 00:04:14.377 --> 00:04:15.545
- Because that was a promise that the president had made.
- 00:04:15.545 --> 00:04:18.548
- Second, president trump never told us
- 00:04:18.548 --> 00:04:21.818
- That he was going to set up a $300 billion fund to rebuild
- 00:04:21.818 --> 00:04:27.156
- Iran or begin immediately lifting economic sanctions on
- 00:04:27.156 --> 00:04:31.594
- Iran, allowing them to sell and make billions
- 00:04:31.594 --> 00:04:34.664
- And billions of dollars immediately, even before
- 00:04:34.664 --> 00:04:38.234
- A full and final deal is negotiated and signed.
- 00:04:38.234 --> 00:04:41.771
- But this is exactly what he's done.
- 00:04:41.771 --> 00:04:44.307
- Why are we helping build a $300
- 00:04:44.307 --> 00:04:47.377
- Billion fund to help rebuild iran?
- 00:04:47.377 --> 00:04:50.713
- Third, president trump promised to never let iran
- 00:04:50.713 --> 00:04:55.351
- Enrich uranium or keep any of its already enriched uranium.
- 00:04:55.351 --> 00:05:01.190
- On february 27th, literally the day before,
- 00:05:01.190 --> 00:05:04.260
- He ordered operation epic fury to begin.
- 00:05:04.260 --> 00:05:06.863
- The president said this.
- 00:05:06.863 --> 00:05:08.998
- You can't put up with it too long.
- 00:05:08.998 --> 00:05:10.933
- We're not happy with the negotiation.
- 00:05:10.933 --> 00:05:13.002
- They just don't want to.
- 00:05:13.002 --> 00:05:14.303
- They don't want to say the keywords.
- 00:05:14.303 --> 00:05:16.272
- We're not going to have a nuclear weapon.
- 00:05:16.272 --> 00:05:18.307
- They have to say,
- 00:05:18.307 --> 00:05:19.041
- We're not going to have
- 00:05:19.041 --> 00:05:20.143
- A nuclear weapon, and they just can't quite get there.
- 00:05:20.143 --> 00:05:23.579
- They want to enrich a little bit.
- 00:05:23.579 --> 00:05:25.748
- You don't have to enrich when you have that much oil. so.
- 00:05:25.748 --> 00:05:28.785
- So i'm not happy with the negotiation.
- 00:05:28.785 --> 00:05:31.521
- I say no enrichment.
- 00:05:31.521 --> 00:05:34.424
- Not 20%. 30%.
- 00:05:34.424 --> 00:05:36.292
- They always won 20%. 30%.
- 00:05:36.292 --> 00:05:39.295
- They wanted for civilian, you know, for civil.
- 00:05:39.295 --> 00:05:42.532
- Civil.
- 00:05:42.532 --> 00:05:43.099
- I think it's uncivil.
- 00:05:43.099 --> 00:05:44.233
- So i'm not happy with it.
- 00:05:44.233 --> 00:05:46.436
- No enrichment period.
- 00:05:46.436 --> 00:05:48.638
- But the deal does not actually say
- 00:05:48.638 --> 00:05:52.041
- That there's nothing in this deal that prevents
- 00:05:52.041 --> 00:05:55.144
- Iran from enriching at least some uranium and keeping
- 00:05:55.144 --> 00:05:59.348
- Some of its enriched uranium.
- 00:05:59.348 --> 00:06:02.618
- Why not?
- 00:06:02.618 --> 00:06:04.086
- Fourth, president trump and secretary of state marco
- 00:06:05.121 --> 00:06:07.757
- Rubio made it crystal clear that one of the key
- 00:06:07.757 --> 00:06:11.093
- Objectives of this war was to destroy iran's ability
- 00:06:11.093 --> 00:06:15.631
- To fire and even build ballistic missiles.
- 00:06:15.631 --> 00:06:19.068
- Take a look.
- 00:06:19.068 --> 00:06:19.936
- The united states
- 00:06:19.936 --> 00:06:21.070
- Military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation
- 00:06:21.070 --> 00:06:25.274
- To prevent this, a very wicked, radical dictatorship from
- 00:06:25.274 --> 00:06:29.579
- Threatening america and our core national security interests.
- 00:06:29.579 --> 00:06:34.383
- We are going to destroy their
- 00:06:34.383 --> 00:06:36.118
- Missiles and raise their missile industry to the ground.
- 00:06:36.118 --> 00:06:40.323
- The goals of this mission are clear,
- 00:06:40.323 --> 00:06:41.791
- And it's important to continue to remind the american people
- 00:06:41.791 --> 00:06:44.093
- Of why it is that the greatest military
- 00:06:44.093 --> 00:06:45.795
- In the history of the world is engaged in this operation.
- 00:06:45.795 --> 00:06:47.997
- It is to destroy the ability of this regime
- 00:06:47.997 --> 00:06:51.100
- To launch missiles, both
- 00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:52.702
- By destroying their missiles and their launchers,
- 00:06:52.702 --> 00:06:55.037
- Destroy the factories
- 00:06:55.037 --> 00:06:56.272
- That make these missiles and destroy their navy.
- 00:06:56.272 --> 00:06:59.308
- Okay, so that's what the president
- 00:06:59.308 --> 00:07:01.978
- And secretary of state rubio told us.
- 00:07:01.978 --> 00:07:04.347
- Now, take a look
- 00:07:04.347 --> 00:07:05.548
- At this clip of president trump at the g7 press conference
- 00:07:05.548 --> 00:07:09.018
- Explaining his deal with iran and now conceding that it's fine
- 00:07:09.018 --> 00:07:14.223
- For iran to have at least some missiles,
- 00:07:14.223 --> 00:07:16.792
- After all other countries have them.
- 00:07:16.792 --> 00:07:18.995
- Why not iran? take a look.
- 00:07:18.995 --> 00:07:20.796
- So we'll be working on a parallel effort
- 00:07:20.796 --> 00:07:23.666
- With the gulf nations to address non-nuclear issues,
- 00:07:23.666 --> 00:07:27.537
- Such as the conventional
- 00:07:27.537 --> 00:07:28.938
- Ballistic missiles, which we'll be talking about
- 00:07:28.938 --> 00:07:31.474
- And support.
- 00:07:31.474 --> 00:07:32.708
- I mean, they have to have some because other people have some,
- 00:07:32.708 --> 00:07:35.378
- Got to have some.
- 00:07:35.378 --> 00:07:36.579
- Why is the word missile not even mentioned in the document?
- 00:07:36.579 --> 00:07:40.783
- This was a key objective of the war.
- 00:07:40.783 --> 00:07:44.053
- What has changed?
- 00:07:44.053 --> 00:07:46.522
- Fifth, president trump and his team were adamant
- 00:07:46.522 --> 00:07:49.859
- During the war
- 00:07:49.859 --> 00:07:51.093
- That iran would not be allowed to control the strait of hormuz,
- 00:07:51.093 --> 00:07:55.197
- And they certainly would not be
- 00:07:55.197 --> 00:07:56.799
- Allowed to charge tolls or fees or any other, you know,
- 00:07:56.799 --> 00:08:02.371
- Financial requirements
- 00:08:02.838 --> 00:08:04.874
- On ships traveling through the strait of hormuz.
- 00:08:04.874 --> 00:08:08.344
- But the deal does not prevent this.
- 00:08:08.344 --> 00:08:11.380
- And in fact, the president conceded as much
- 00:08:11.380 --> 00:08:13.783
- During his press conference in france. take a look.
- 00:08:13.783 --> 00:08:16.719
- Is there any safeguard in this deal to prevent
- 00:08:16.719 --> 00:08:19.722
- Iran from charging?
- 00:08:19.722 --> 00:08:21.090
- What they say could be fees after the 60 day extension?
- 00:08:21.090 --> 00:08:24.760
- The thing
- 00:08:25.061 --> 00:08:26.162
- That's going to stop them from doing that,
- 00:08:26.162 --> 00:08:27.730
- Because you can't cover everything in a document
- 00:08:27.730 --> 00:08:30.299
- Is common sense. they don't want to get bombed.
- 00:08:30.299 --> 00:08:32.635
- They don't want to get hit.
- 00:08:32.635 --> 00:08:33.703
- Now the president says, you just heard him.
- 00:08:33.703 --> 00:08:37.173
- You can't cover everything in a document.
- 00:08:37.173 --> 00:08:39.976
- Really? why not?
- 00:08:39.976 --> 00:08:43.145
- He said the president says that iran won't charge fees or tolls
- 00:08:43.145 --> 00:08:46.282
- Because that's common sense not to do it.
- 00:08:46.282 --> 00:08:49.185
- And they don't want to get bombed.
- 00:08:49.185 --> 00:08:52.288
- Really?
- 00:08:52.521 --> 00:08:53.489
- Like, i don't i would never use the phrase
- 00:08:53.489 --> 00:08:56.292
- Common sense with what's left of the iranian regime.
- 00:08:56.292 --> 00:08:59.428
- These are killers. these are murderers.
- 00:08:59.428 --> 00:09:01.597
- They they were part of their bosses who are all dead now
- 00:09:01.597 --> 00:09:05.601
- And burning in hell.
- 00:09:05.601 --> 00:09:06.836
- But they were part of murdering 42,000 of their own people.
- 00:09:06.836 --> 00:09:10.740
- They were part of
- 00:09:10.740 --> 00:09:11.941
- Firing ballistic missiles at the united states.
- 00:09:11.941 --> 00:09:14.543
- Our forces,
- 00:09:14.543 --> 00:09:16.412
- Israel and every arab ally that we have in the region.
- 00:09:16.412 --> 00:09:21.017
- This is common sense is not a phrase i can even understand.
- 00:09:21.017 --> 00:09:25.454
- The president using
- 00:09:25.454 --> 00:09:26.756
- Were the relationship to this or this group of people.
- 00:09:26.756 --> 00:09:30.192
- So i'm concerned by that.
- 00:09:30.192 --> 00:09:31.961
- But that's not all. six.
- 00:09:31.961 --> 00:09:34.664
- Why doesn't this deal explicitly prevent
- 00:09:34.664 --> 00:09:38.734
- Iran from funding terrorism?
- 00:09:38.734 --> 00:09:42.438
- The phrase terror terrorism isn't even mentioned
- 00:09:42.438 --> 00:09:45.775
- In the document.
- 00:09:45.775 --> 00:09:47.309
- Hamas is not mentioned.
- 00:09:47.309 --> 00:09:48.911
- Hezbollah not mentioned, the houthis not mentioned.
- 00:09:48.911 --> 00:09:53.115
- Terrorism isn't mentioned in the document.
- 00:09:53.115 --> 00:09:55.251
- Why not?
- 00:09:55.251 --> 00:09:56.352
- Seventh, and finally, this deal props up and breathe
- 00:09:56.352 --> 00:10:00.656
- Life into what's left of the iranian regime.
- 00:10:00.656 --> 00:10:03.759
- It does not set into motion the end of this evil, wicked,
- 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:08.230
- Apocalyptic, genocidal regime once and for all. now.
- 00:10:08.230 --> 00:10:12.301
- The president and the vice president insist
- 00:10:12.301 --> 00:10:14.203
- That there is time to make this deal tougher.
- 00:10:14.203 --> 00:10:17.940
- This is just an mou.
- 00:10:17.940 --> 00:10:19.075
- As i mentioned, there are 60 days.
- 00:10:19.075 --> 00:10:20.710
- That clock is already running, but there are now
- 00:10:20.710 --> 00:10:23.212
- Less than 60 days to negotiate a final deal, a better deal.
- 00:10:23.212 --> 00:10:27.083
- And the president insists that if iran doesn't negotiate
- 00:10:27.083 --> 00:10:30.653
- In good faith or continues to violate this deal,
- 00:10:30.653 --> 00:10:34.123
- He will begin bombing them again.
- 00:10:34.123 --> 00:10:36.459
- Take a look.
- 00:10:36.459 --> 00:10:37.293
- If it doesn't get done in 60 days.
- 00:10:37.293 --> 00:10:39.028
- That's all right. we go back to bombing.
- 00:10:39.028 --> 00:10:41.497
- I don't want to do that because it's so good.
- 00:10:41.497 --> 00:10:43.966
- But we might have to,
- 00:10:43.966 --> 00:10:47.069
- Because we're never going to let them have a nuclear weapon.
- 00:10:47.069 --> 00:10:51.140
- Coming up
- 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:52.508
- Next on the rosenberg report, for all its flaws.
- 00:10:52.508 --> 00:10:54.944
- Can the trump vance deal with iran be toughened over the next
- 00:10:54.944 --> 00:10:58.814
- 60 days?
- 00:10:58.814 --> 00:11:00.049
- Why is one highly respected israeli foreign policy expert
- 00:11:00.049 --> 00:11:03.452
- Convinced that president trump has the exact right
- 00:11:03.452 --> 00:11:06.055
- Negotiating strategy?
- 00:11:06.055 --> 00:11:07.623
- Even as we head toward the all important
- 00:11:07.623 --> 00:11:09.825
- Midterm elections in the united states?
- 00:11:09.825 --> 00:11:11.660
- And why is it time for evangelicals
- 00:11:11.660 --> 00:11:13.763
- To come back to israel?
- 00:11:13.763 --> 00:11:15.397
- Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn.
- 00:11:15.397 --> 00:11:19.068
- Right after the break.
- 00:11:19.068 --> 00:11:22.001
- Right after the break.
- 00:11:22.001 --> 00:11:25.776
- What does.
- 00:11:26.076 --> 00:11:26.710
- Every.
- 00:11:26.710 --> 00:11:27.477
- Evangelical christian
- 00:11:27.477 --> 00:11:28.545
- Need to know about this trump vance deal with iran?
- 00:11:28.545 --> 00:11:31.681
- I told you in the first segment, i'm not a fan,
- 00:11:31.681 --> 00:11:34.384
- But i hope and pray, and i think that's the key.
- 00:11:34.384 --> 00:11:37.387
- This thing gets tougher and stronger or unravels entirely.
- 00:11:37.387 --> 00:11:40.891
- And president trump goes back to destroying
- 00:11:40.891 --> 00:11:44.661
- Iran's regime and capabilities and then gets back
- 00:11:44.661 --> 00:11:49.466
- To the negotiating table with with iran
- 00:11:49.466 --> 00:11:52.135
- Being much more pliant than i than i think they are right now.
- 00:11:52.135 --> 00:11:55.605
- But i want to be honest and fair about where we are.
- 00:11:55.605 --> 00:11:58.475
- Americans don't see this deal that badly, actually,
- 00:11:58.475 --> 00:12:02.479
- And this is a little bit surprising to me.
- 00:12:02.479 --> 00:12:04.347
- But the latest poll show that 51% of
- 00:12:04.347 --> 00:12:10.220
- Americans approve the deal as much as they've read of it
- 00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:13.757
- So far, only 34% disapprove of it.
- 00:12:13.757 --> 00:12:17.494
- So that's important.
- 00:12:17.494 --> 00:12:18.795
- President trump's approval rating has actually gone up
- 00:12:18.795 --> 00:12:21.631
- Since this deal, because i think part of that is just people
- 00:12:21.631 --> 00:12:25.235
- Want to be hopeful that this thing's going to work.
- 00:12:25.235 --> 00:12:28.505
- Trump's approval rating is now at 50%,
- 00:12:28.505 --> 00:12:30.574
- Which it has not been for a while.
- 00:12:30.574 --> 00:12:32.375
- 46% of americans disapprove it.
- 00:12:32.375 --> 00:12:35.111
- Now, here in israel, the situation is very different.
- 00:12:35.111 --> 00:12:38.481
- Asked how to describe the us iran deal,
- 00:12:38.481 --> 00:12:43.587
- 67% of israelis say it's bad for israel.
- 00:12:43.587 --> 00:12:47.591
- Okay, that's almost seven and ten.
- 00:12:47.591 --> 00:12:49.159
- Only 9% of israelis think this is a good deal for israel.
- 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:53.897
- Now, has the iran deal changed your opinion of president trump?
- 00:12:53.897 --> 00:12:58.869
- That was asked by an israeli television network of israelis,
- 00:12:58.869 --> 00:13:03.940
- 73%, 73% said this deal has changed
- 00:13:03.940 --> 00:13:08.745
- Their opinion of trump for the worse.
- 00:13:08.745 --> 00:13:10.881
- Only 3% for the better.
- 00:13:10.881 --> 00:13:13.917
- Joining me to talk about these numbers
- 00:13:13.917 --> 00:13:16.753
- And how israelis perceive this, this deal is doctor dan diker.
- 00:13:16.753 --> 00:13:22.459
- Dan is a real expert, a noted and very trusted expert.
- 00:13:22.459 --> 00:13:26.763
- He is the
- 00:13:26.763 --> 00:13:27.597
- President of the jerusalem center
- 00:13:27.597 --> 00:13:29.399
- For security and foreign affairs.
- 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:31.735
- And he joins me for the first time
- 00:13:31.735 --> 00:13:33.069
- On the rosenberg report.
- 00:13:33.069 --> 00:13:34.237
- Dan, thank you, doctor diker,
- 00:13:34.237 --> 00:13:35.505
- Thank you so much for joining me on the rosenberg report.
- 00:13:35.505 --> 00:13:37.641
- Great to be with you, joel.
- 00:13:37.641 --> 00:13:38.942
- And on the rosenberg report, particularly at this
- 00:13:38.942 --> 00:13:42.679
- Incredibly consequential, even existential moment
- 00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:46.349
- For the united states and for israel.
- 00:13:46.349 --> 00:13:48.218
- You live here. you work here.
- 00:13:48.218 --> 00:13:50.854
- How do
- 00:13:51.054 --> 00:13:52.222
- You read the israeli mood when it comes to this deal?
- 00:13:52.222 --> 00:13:54.824
- And then we'll get into the specifics.
- 00:13:54.824 --> 00:13:56.393
- Well.
- 00:13:56.393 --> 00:13:57.427
- Joel, the israeli mood actually did a jujitsu.
- 00:13:57.427 --> 00:14:00.397
- It flipped because president trump,
- 00:14:00.397 --> 00:14:03.233
- It is well known from from wall
- 00:14:03.233 --> 00:14:05.502
- To wall in israel, is really the greatest friend
- 00:14:05.502 --> 00:14:08.505
- In the white house that israel has ever had.
- 00:14:08.505 --> 00:14:10.340
- Put the whole thing in context.
- 00:14:10.340 --> 00:14:11.975
- I mean, he recognized jerusalem
- 00:14:11.975 --> 00:14:13.610
- As the eternal, undivided capital of of israel.
- 00:14:13.610 --> 00:14:16.713
- He recognized israel's essential
- 00:14:16.713 --> 00:14:19.316
- Sovereignty over the golan heights,
- 00:14:19.316 --> 00:14:20.817
- Moved the embassy to jerusalem, did the abraham accords
- 00:14:20.817 --> 00:14:24.587
- For the first time in last.
- 00:14:24.587 --> 00:14:26.423
- You know,
- 00:14:26.423 --> 00:14:27.657
- Last century of this century actually brought the possibility
- 00:14:27.657 --> 00:14:29.826
- Of a regional peace to the region.
- 00:14:29.826 --> 00:14:31.962
- I mean, he did extraordinary things.
- 00:14:31.962 --> 00:14:33.897
- So all good. all good.
- 00:14:33.897 --> 00:14:35.532
- But when you say
- 00:14:35.532 --> 00:14:36.700
- Jiujitsu or whiplash, i feel like i need to be wearing
- 00:14:36.700 --> 00:14:39.803
- One of those collars.
- 00:14:39.803 --> 00:14:40.704
- And that.
- 00:14:40.704 --> 00:14:41.938
- Cause what has why has president trump made these decisions,
- 00:14:41.938 --> 00:14:45.108
- Like the $300 billion fund to rebuild iran,
- 00:14:45.108 --> 00:14:48.511
- And because his rallies are in shock?
- 00:14:48.511 --> 00:14:51.114
- They are.
- 00:14:51.114 --> 00:14:52.148
- And fearing that our best ally is now cursing us,
- 00:14:52.148 --> 00:14:55.719
- Cursing our prime prime minister, which seems odd.
- 00:14:55.719 --> 00:15:00.290
- And then the vice president has used very strong language.
- 00:15:00.290 --> 00:15:03.893
- He's accusing israeli cabinet
- 00:15:03.893 --> 00:15:05.628
- Members of personally attacking the president.
- 00:15:05.628 --> 00:15:08.198
- I haven't seen that.
- 00:15:08.198 --> 00:15:09.065
- I saw a channel 14 comment.
- 00:15:09.065 --> 00:15:11.601
- It never happened.
- 00:15:11.601 --> 00:15:12.469
- Who use them? very strong language.
- 00:15:12.469 --> 00:15:14.104
- But he's not in government. so?
- 00:15:14.104 --> 00:15:16.339
- So why is the president, who is arguably the best
- 00:15:16.339 --> 00:15:19.776
- Deal maker we've seen on the world stage?
- 00:15:19.776 --> 00:15:23.680
- Why is he making this deal? the shock.
- 00:15:23.680 --> 00:15:26.016
- And is it fixable?
- 00:15:26.016 --> 00:15:27.117
- It is.
- 00:15:27.117 --> 00:15:28.151
- It is fixable, joel, because it is only an mou.
- 00:15:28.151 --> 00:15:32.122
- It's only a framework.
- 00:15:32.122 --> 00:15:33.390
- And the president has said nothing is going to be signed
- 00:15:33.390 --> 00:15:37.027
- Unless the regime gives the united states what it demands.
- 00:15:37.027 --> 00:15:40.697
- And i can i can guarantee you i will put my wallet
- 00:15:40.697 --> 00:15:44.467
- On the table and say, the regime will not give
- 00:15:44.467 --> 00:15:47.170
- The president everything he wants.
- 00:15:47.170 --> 00:15:48.872
- The president has given
- 00:15:48.872 --> 00:15:50.040
- The regime every possible carrot in the vegetable section
- 00:15:50.040 --> 00:15:53.676
- Of the largest supermarket
- 00:15:53.676 --> 00:15:55.078
- In the united states, in order to come through.
- 00:15:55.078 --> 00:15:56.880
- They will not give it to him because they are, as you said,
- 00:15:56.880 --> 00:15:59.482
- They are a messianic, apocalyptic, jihadist.
- 00:15:59.482 --> 00:16:03.286
- Genocidal, genocidal.
- 00:16:03.787 --> 00:16:06.056
- And they admit it.
- 00:16:06.056 --> 00:16:07.023
- They admit it, they proved it.
- 00:16:07.023 --> 00:16:08.358
- They've murdered thousands of americans.
- 00:16:08.358 --> 00:16:10.026
- They they've murdered thousands of israelis.
- 00:16:10.026 --> 00:16:12.028
- They call america the great satan, israel little satan.
- 00:16:12.028 --> 00:16:14.664
- But what shocked israelis was in the middle of this war,
- 00:16:14.664 --> 00:16:18.735
- All of a sudden, the the united states, the president
- 00:16:18.735 --> 00:16:22.372
- Says, i'm going to give you an
- 00:16:22.372 --> 00:16:24.074
- An economic lifeline and save you when the
- 00:16:24.074 --> 00:16:27.944
- When the the regime is teetering on total failure,
- 00:16:27.944 --> 00:16:31.514
- Total economic collapse, remember, they were losing $500
- 00:16:31.514 --> 00:16:35.652
- Million a day in the straits of hormuz,
- 00:16:35.652 --> 00:16:37.554
- Which the united states
- 00:16:37.554 --> 00:16:38.855
- In place, an embargo, a military blockade.
- 00:16:38.855 --> 00:16:42.859
- And there was no money going in.
- 00:16:42.859 --> 00:16:44.627
- There was no there was no water desalinization going,
- 00:16:44.627 --> 00:16:48.198
- No food going in.
- 00:16:48.198 --> 00:16:49.265
- The currency wasn't worth anything.
- 00:16:49.265 --> 00:16:50.867
- So isn't the carrot we stopped doing that.
- 00:16:50.867 --> 00:16:53.736
- We won't bomb you and will lift the,
- 00:16:53.736 --> 00:16:57.073
- The, the the embargo, the on.
- 00:16:57.073 --> 00:17:00.376
- You will pull back our ships if you make a serious deal.
- 00:17:00.376 --> 00:17:05.748
- But so much of this isn't in the language of the deal.
- 00:17:05.748 --> 00:17:08.852
- You think it will be written in
- 00:17:08.852 --> 00:17:11.788
- And tested, and then you think, if i'm listening to you,
- 00:17:11.788 --> 00:17:14.891
- Hearing you
- 00:17:14.891 --> 00:17:15.492
- Correctly, you're saying
- 00:17:15.492 --> 00:17:16.659
- You think that will all be
- 00:17:16.659 --> 00:17:17.660
- Written into the deal and then be rejected?
- 00:17:17.660 --> 00:17:19.596
- So in my assessment with the president did was to
- 00:17:19.596 --> 00:17:22.899
- To offer many more carrots than they did
- 00:17:22.899 --> 00:17:25.902
- Sticks to say, come on, let's, let's let's test you.
- 00:17:25.902 --> 00:17:30.039
- Let's put your, you know, put your feet on the line.
- 00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:32.175
- And then i what we've been saying
- 00:17:32.175 --> 00:17:34.410
- At the jerusalem security for an affair is, mr.
- 00:17:34.410 --> 00:17:36.379
- President, hold the regime's feet to the fire
- 00:17:36.379 --> 00:17:39.149
- Because and i think that and you've been saying that
- 00:17:39.149 --> 00:17:42.185
- And i think it's very important
- 00:17:42.185 --> 00:17:43.319
- Because the regime is already pulling back, firing.
- 00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:46.756
- They're firing rockets
- 00:17:46.756 --> 00:17:48.024
- And missiles in the straits of hormuz
- 00:17:48.024 --> 00:17:49.993
- And then and then saying they want to reengage.
- 00:17:49.993 --> 00:17:51.828
- In fact,
- 00:17:51.828 --> 00:17:52.662
- Just before we went on the show today,
- 00:17:52.662 --> 00:17:53.763
- There are reports
- 00:17:53.763 --> 00:17:54.998
- That the regime is now calling for a talk in doha as soon as in
- 00:17:54.998 --> 00:17:59.469
- The coming day or two.
- 00:17:59.469 --> 00:18:00.303
- And this is all part
- 00:18:00.303 --> 00:18:01.971
- Of the islamic republic's deception strategy.
- 00:18:01.971 --> 00:18:05.175
- They are born in deception. they are.
- 00:18:05.175 --> 00:18:07.877
- They lie, cheat and steal.
- 00:18:07.877 --> 00:18:09.546
- This is part of their this of their jihadist dna.
- 00:18:09.546 --> 00:18:13.116
- Hold that thought. one other thing.
- 00:18:13.116 --> 00:18:15.385
- We were talking here about evangelicals
- 00:18:15.385 --> 00:18:17.787
- Needing to stand with israel.
- 00:18:17.787 --> 00:18:18.955
- And i want to encourage you to come to the joshua fund
- 00:18:18.955 --> 00:18:23.226
- Tour of israel next year, march 29th through
- 00:18:23.226 --> 00:18:26.362
- April 9th, and the epicenter summit april 7th.
- 00:18:26.362 --> 00:18:29.499
- It's part of our package
- 00:18:29.499 --> 00:18:30.700
- Of coming on the
- 00:18:30.700 --> 00:18:31.668
- On the trip,
- 00:18:31.668 --> 00:18:32.535
- And we would love to have you there,
- 00:18:32.535 --> 00:18:33.703
- Because this is going to be the biggest
- 00:18:33.703 --> 00:18:35.738
- Christian conference in israel since the war began.
- 00:18:35.738 --> 00:18:38.708
- I think it's going to be super important
- 00:18:38.708 --> 00:18:40.343
- For you to hear from israeli president isaac herzog, u.s.
- 00:18:40.343 --> 00:18:43.613
- Ambassador mike huckabee, and then leading
- 00:18:43.613 --> 00:18:47.083
- Evangelical christians, this to understand
- 00:18:47.083 --> 00:18:49.652
- Both geopolitically what's happening
- 00:18:49.652 --> 00:18:51.754
- Biblically, what's happening, and how evangelicals can
- 00:18:51.754 --> 00:18:54.757
- And should work closely
- 00:18:54.757 --> 00:18:56.392
- And pray for our israeli and jewish friends and allies.
- 00:18:56.392 --> 00:19:00.463
- I think israelis feel more
- 00:19:00.463 --> 00:19:02.398
- Anxious and alone than ever, and i want to encourage you
- 00:19:02.398 --> 00:19:05.201
- To be part of showing israel how much you love them,
- 00:19:05.201 --> 00:19:09.305
- By coming on the joshua one tour and being a part
- 00:19:09.305 --> 00:19:12.375
- Of the epicenter summit.
- 00:19:12.375 --> 00:19:13.576
- Stay tuned. we've got much more.
- 00:19:13.576 --> 00:19:15.111
- Don't go away.
- 00:19:15.111 --> 00:19:16.746
- Coming up next on the rosenberg report,
- 00:19:16.746 --> 00:19:18.982
- At a time when so many israelis fear
- 00:19:18.982 --> 00:19:21.618
- That they've been abandoned by president trump.
- 00:19:21.618 --> 00:19:23.920
- Why is doctor dan diker,
- 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:25.622
- President of the jerusalem center
- 00:19:25.622 --> 00:19:27.423
- For security
- 00:19:27.423 --> 00:19:28.524
- And foreign affairs, so bullish on trump's negotiating
- 00:19:28.524 --> 00:19:31.594
- Strategy and convinced that the best days for the u.s.
- 00:19:31.594 --> 00:19:34.864
- Israel alliance lay ahead?
- 00:19:34.864 --> 00:19:37.033
- Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn.
- 00:19:37.033 --> 00:19:40.870
- Right after the break.
- 00:19:40.870 --> 00:19:44.007
- Right after the break.
- 00:19:44.007 --> 00:19:47.910
- Welcome back to the rosenberg report.
- 00:19:48.711 --> 00:19:50.480
- Very high stakes moment.
- 00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:51.814
- And i've got on the set here, doctor dan
- 00:19:51.814 --> 00:19:54.183
- Diker, he's
- 00:19:54.183 --> 00:19:55.051
- The president of the jerusalem center
- 00:19:55.051 --> 00:19:56.452
- For security and foreign affairs.
- 00:19:56.452 --> 00:19:58.955
- Doctor diker, i'm so grateful that you're here and i.
- 00:19:58.955 --> 00:20:01.758
- And for your analysis.
- 00:20:01.758 --> 00:20:02.859
- Do you believe that president trump would go back
- 00:20:02.859 --> 00:20:06.663
- To a kinetic bombing campaign of the type of this,
- 00:20:06.663 --> 00:20:10.733
- Of the seriousness and scope that he's threatened
- 00:20:10.733 --> 00:20:14.003
- If iran doesn't, in fact, make a deal because we're
- 00:20:15.071 --> 00:20:17.173
- Talking middle of august will be the end of the 60 days.
- 00:20:17.173 --> 00:20:20.209
- We'll be talking just two months before the high stakes
- 00:20:20.209 --> 00:20:23.279
- Midterm elections, in which the republicans
- 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:24.881
- Right now are in danger
- 00:20:24.881 --> 00:20:26.449
- Of losing control of the house and possibly even the senate.
- 00:20:26.449 --> 00:20:29.552
- So that makes it even more difficult
- 00:20:29.552 --> 00:20:32.055
- For the president to move. what do you think he'll do?
- 00:20:32.055 --> 00:20:34.624
- It really depends, joel, as to how
- 00:20:34.624 --> 00:20:38.161
- High risk the iranian regime wants to play here.
- 00:20:39.162 --> 00:20:42.465
- They are playing russian roulette in the old classic
- 00:20:42.465 --> 00:20:46.536
- Sense of the term.
- 00:20:46.536 --> 00:20:47.537
- Now, the president will do everything he can,
- 00:20:47.537 --> 00:20:50.840
- In my view, to stretch this out to the midterms.
- 00:20:50.840 --> 00:20:54.177
- Prices are low.
- 00:20:54.177 --> 00:20:56.012
- Stock market is high.
- 00:20:56.012 --> 00:20:57.714
- Americans are more optimistic.
- 00:20:57.714 --> 00:21:00.249
- The president's numbers are.
- 00:21:00.249 --> 00:21:02.118
- Are dropping.
- 00:21:02.118 --> 00:21:02.885
- Are dropping to pre feb 28 levels
- 00:21:02.885 --> 00:21:05.755
- That's very impressive.
- 00:21:05.755 --> 00:21:06.823
- Mean if he could hold that even if i and you and
- 00:21:06.823 --> 00:21:08.858
- Others were discouraged by this deal.
- 00:21:08.858 --> 00:21:10.993
- If he could maintain those fundamentals
- 00:21:10.993 --> 00:21:15.431
- And get through the elections, he would have and hold the house
- 00:21:15.431 --> 00:21:18.701
- And senate.
- 00:21:18.701 --> 00:21:19.702
- He might have more freedom of movement also.
- 00:21:19.702 --> 00:21:21.838
- But this idea that he might
- 00:21:21.838 --> 00:21:23.239
- Go back to bombing in august strikes me as highly unlikely.
- 00:21:23.239 --> 00:21:27.076
- It seems highly unlikely.
- 00:21:27.076 --> 00:21:28.478
- The president really wants to show
- 00:21:28.478 --> 00:21:30.413
- The american people that he is also
- 00:21:30.413 --> 00:21:32.281
- A president of peace through strength.
- 00:21:32.281 --> 00:21:34.150
- He's shown the strength in his view.
- 00:21:34.150 --> 00:21:36.252
- Now he wants to show
- 00:21:36.252 --> 00:21:37.320
- The economic peace side to american people.
- 00:21:37.320 --> 00:21:39.655
- The american people have vote their pocketbook.
- 00:21:39.655 --> 00:21:41.224
- At the end of the day, there are
- 00:21:41.224 --> 00:21:42.358
- Thousands of miles away from this middle eastern war.
- 00:21:42.358 --> 00:21:44.394
- And they're saying. this to them.
- 00:21:44.394 --> 00:21:46.262
- That's their view of it.
- 00:21:46.262 --> 00:21:47.130
- Even though we here in the studio
- 00:21:47.130 --> 00:21:48.865
- Know that the iranian regime is targeting
- 00:21:48.865 --> 00:21:51.134
- The american people, they will hit them
- 00:21:51.134 --> 00:21:52.735
- With nuclear weapons if they get the nuclear weapons.
- 00:21:52.735 --> 00:21:54.837
- That's why the president
- 00:21:54.837 --> 00:21:56.239
- Bombed them back in february, because they had intelligence
- 00:21:56.239 --> 00:21:59.575
- That was confirmed that they that the iranian regime was in
- 00:21:59.575 --> 00:22:03.279
- Was within weeks of achieving a nuclear device.
- 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.516
- The president is not a sucker.
- 00:22:06.516 --> 00:22:07.984
- And there gets to a point
- 00:22:07.984 --> 00:22:09.519
- At which the iranian regime will continue to humiliate him.
- 00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:12.622
- They will attack american forces and then pull back.
- 00:22:12.622 --> 00:22:15.057
- Drag this negotiation on and on and on.
- 00:22:15.057 --> 00:22:17.360
- And the president at some point will say, no, enough.
- 00:22:17.360 --> 00:22:19.729
- And i'm not.
- 00:22:19.729 --> 00:22:21.030
- And i'm going to go back to military operations.
- 00:22:21.030 --> 00:22:23.099
- Now, in our view, that will be after the midterm,
- 00:22:23.099 --> 00:22:26.035
- If he can, if he can hold out that long.
- 00:22:26.035 --> 00:22:29.105
- But ultimately, i have the greatest confidence
- 00:22:29.105 --> 00:22:32.141
- In the president of the united states. donald trump will not
- 00:22:32.141 --> 00:22:34.977
- Go back on everything that he stood for.
- 00:22:35.778 --> 00:22:38.281
- When it's come to destroying the most dangerous regime
- 00:22:38.281 --> 00:22:40.950
- In the world with the world's most dangerous weapons.
- 00:22:40.950 --> 00:22:43.019
- Hope you're right.
- 00:22:43.019 --> 00:22:43.953
- Dan diker, thank you so much for watching.
- 00:22:43.953 --> 00:22:46.055
- Keep praying.
- 00:22:46.055 --> 00:22:47.290
- Have a great week as you walk with the lord jesus christ,
- 00:22:47.290 --> 00:22:49.258
- As you spend time in his word, as you spend time in fellowship,
- 00:22:49.258 --> 00:22:52.261
- As you care for the poor and the needy in your community.
- 00:22:52.261 --> 00:22:55.598
- Widows and orphans.
- 00:22:55.598 --> 00:22:56.532
- As you pray for the peace of jerusalem,
- 00:22:56.532 --> 00:22:58.234
- For israel and her neighbors in the name of jesus.
- 00:22:58.234 --> 00:23:00.903
- Have a great week and lord willing,
- 00:23:00.903 --> 00:23:02.705
- I'll see you next week right here on the rosenberg report.
- 00:23:02.705 --> 00:23:02.705
