Eric Stakelbeck: The Fate of Europe | Stakelbeck Tonight

June 1, 2026 | 23:29

From wars and rumors of war abroad, to the rise of anti-Christian, "woke" ideology here at home, it’s clear that Americans are living in perilous and unprecedented times. Some would even say that we’re witnessing biblical prophecy unfold in real time. Stakelbeck Tonight will make sense of these stunning developments through a bold and biblical lens.

Stakelbeck Tonight | Eric Stakelbeck: The Fate of Europe | Stakelbeck Tonight | June 1, 2026

Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:19.641
I'm erick stakelbeck.
00:00:19.641 --> 00:00:20.709
And paris is burning.
00:00:20.709 --> 00:00:23.879
Over the weekend, one of the great cities
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:25.848
Of western civilization was overrun
00:00:25.848 --> 00:00:28.350
By thousands of rioters who used a victory
00:00:28.350 --> 00:00:31.353
By a french soccer team as an excuse to wreak havoc.
00:00:31.353 --> 00:00:35.824
They burned cars, attacked police and looted businesses.
00:00:35.824 --> 00:00:39.595
At least one person was killed, and over 200 more injured,
00:00:39.595 --> 00:00:43.866
And the flames even reached the base of the eiffel tower.
00:00:43.866 --> 00:00:48.170
Welcome to the new post-christian, islam
00:00:48.170 --> 00:00:52.341
Sized france watch.
00:00:52.341 --> 00:01:04.353
If these scenes shock you, they really shouldn't.
00:01:05.320 --> 00:01:08.790
It's a very predictable outcome of cultural suicide.
00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:13.495
Over the past few decades, europe
00:01:13.495 --> 00:01:14.997
Has led in millions of mostly muslim migrants
00:01:14.997 --> 00:01:18.400
Who've transformed cities and towns across the continent.
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.271
In france, muslims now make up some 10%
00:01:22.271 --> 00:01:25.774
Of the total population.
00:01:25.774 --> 00:01:27.309
In many cases, these french muslims do not assimilate.
00:01:27.309 --> 00:01:31.480
Instead, they self segregate, building mosques and forming
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:36.051
Muslim only neighborhoods where even french police
00:01:36.051 --> 00:01:39.488
Hesitate to go.
00:01:39.488 --> 00:01:40.889
Folks, what we saw in paris over the weekend was much more
00:01:40.889 --> 00:01:43.992
Than just some bad behavior over a soccer game.
00:01:43.992 --> 00:01:47.029
There's a larger strategy at work here.
00:01:47.029 --> 00:01:49.998
Watch.
00:01:49.998 --> 00:02:03.912
We've conquered paris.
00:02:04.379 --> 00:02:06.048
Maybe not quite yet, but that's certainly the goal.
00:02:06.048 --> 00:02:09.084
This is a jihad against france.
00:02:09.084 --> 00:02:12.221
Now, the charmer in that video also mocked the right wing
00:02:12.221 --> 00:02:15.824
French politician marine le pen, who's
00:02:15.824 --> 00:02:18.126
One of the only people in french politics
00:02:18.126 --> 00:02:19.962
To speak out against mass muslim immigration.
00:02:19.962 --> 00:02:23.298
While weak, woke left wing leadership from the likes
00:02:23.298 --> 00:02:27.002
Of emmanuel macron has only made the problem worse.
00:02:27.002 --> 00:02:30.806
We see the same story across western europe, france
00:02:30.806 --> 00:02:33.976
And the u.k. in particular.
00:02:33.976 --> 00:02:36.044
Instead of ending
00:02:36.044 --> 00:02:37.112
Mass muslim migration, they continue to welcome in
00:02:37.112 --> 00:02:40.315
Literal boatloads of young, mostly muslim military age men.
00:02:40.315 --> 00:02:46.088
This is unsustainable.
00:02:46.088 --> 00:02:48.390
Europe is now facing a crisis of its own making.
00:02:48.390 --> 00:02:51.760
Left wing globalists have happily imported
00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:54.630
Tens of millions of people who hail from a culture
00:02:54.630 --> 00:02:57.799
That is openly hostile to judeo-christian western
00:02:57.799 --> 00:03:01.403
Civilization.
00:03:01.403 --> 00:03:02.671
For the left, they're getting exactly
00:03:02.671 --> 00:03:04.539
What they expected out of this arrangement
00:03:04.539 --> 00:03:06.608
And what they wanted.
00:03:06.608 --> 00:03:08.010
They can use islam as a battering ram against the
00:03:08.010 --> 00:03:11.880
Traditional western way of life that both sides despise.
00:03:11.880 --> 00:03:16.218
So what islamic armies couldn't accomplish by the sword
00:03:16.218 --> 00:03:20.455
When they drove into central france
00:03:20.455 --> 00:03:22.591
In the eighth century, will now be achieved through numbers.
00:03:22.591 --> 00:03:27.229
It's a long term strategy and it's working.
00:03:27.229 --> 00:03:30.198
Mass migration and self segregation
00:03:30.198 --> 00:03:33.302
Will eat away at european societies from within.
00:03:33.302 --> 00:03:36.938
That's the plan.
00:03:36.938 --> 00:03:38.307
And remember, today's europeans don't reproduce.
00:03:38.307 --> 00:03:41.943
They long ago abandoned the bible
00:03:41.943 --> 00:03:44.613
And its encouragement to be fruitful and multiply.
00:03:44.613 --> 00:03:48.684
But what about the united states in places
00:03:48.684 --> 00:03:51.420
Like minneapolis, texas, michigan and new york city?
00:03:51.420 --> 00:03:55.123
Islam is on the rise again, aided and abetted by the left.
00:03:55.123 --> 00:03:59.995
Here was democrat congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez,
00:03:59.995 --> 00:04:04.199
Aoc last week appearing in a muslim hijab head
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:08.670
Covering alongside new york's islamo communist mayor
00:04:08.670 --> 00:04:12.641
Zoran mamdani.
00:04:12.974 --> 00:04:37.632
So aoc, who's all about feminism, my body,
00:04:38.533 --> 00:04:42.371
My choice,
00:04:42.371 --> 00:04:43.672
Dons an islamic headscarf to speak to a group of muslim
00:04:43.672 --> 00:04:47.509
Men who, as you see, weren't even paying attention to her.
00:04:47.509 --> 00:04:51.146
This tolerance
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:52.547
For the intolerant and caving into their demands
00:04:52.547 --> 00:04:55.851
Is what makes scenes like paris over the weekend possible.
00:04:55.851 --> 00:04:59.921
Folks, the united states under president trump is the last
00:04:59.921 --> 00:05:02.824
Remaining firewall and standard bearer for the western world.
00:05:02.824 --> 00:05:07.195
If the likes of aoc and mamdani ever take power here
00:05:07.195 --> 00:05:10.532
Nationally, the lights go out for western civilization.
00:05:10.532 --> 00:05:14.703
Here's the good news.
00:05:14.703 --> 00:05:15.971
The administration right now is making major moves
00:05:15.971 --> 00:05:18.573
That will strengthen america, both at home and abroad.
00:05:18.573 --> 00:05:21.810
Rodney martin is here with a full breakdown next.
00:05:21.810 --> 00:05:29.000
Rodney martin is here with a full breakdown next.
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:32.547
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
00:05:33.314 --> 00:05:35.316
As europe grapples with mass muslim migration, demographic
00:05:35.316 --> 00:05:39.721
Decline and a growing crisis of national identity,
00:05:39.721 --> 00:05:43.825
Are the riots we just showed you from paris
00:05:43.825 --> 00:05:45.994
Over the weekend a sign of things to come?
00:05:45.994 --> 00:05:48.863
And what is the latest on the iran war?
00:05:48.863 --> 00:05:51.733
Joining us now to break down is doctor rodney martin, ceo
00:05:51.733 --> 00:05:54.502
Of martin capital and founder of the rod martin report.
00:05:54.502 --> 00:05:57.605
Rod, always great to see you, my friend.
00:05:57.605 --> 00:05:59.274
Hey. what we saw in paris over the weekend,
00:05:59.274 --> 00:06:02.110
I think after what we've seen over the past
00:06:02.110 --> 00:06:03.878
Few decades, was entirely predictable.
00:06:03.878 --> 00:06:06.314
These are the consequences of cultural suicide.
00:06:06.314 --> 00:06:09.851
Can we expect more of this in paris, the uk and beyond?
00:06:09.851 --> 00:06:13.988
Throughout europe, sadly, in the years to come.
00:06:13.988 --> 00:06:17.425
Short of some significant electoral changes,
00:06:18.359 --> 00:06:21.262
This is their fate.
00:06:21.262 --> 00:06:22.564
I mean, they've chosen it.
00:06:22.564 --> 00:06:24.365
They've been very, very careful in doing everything
00:06:24.365 --> 00:06:28.102
They possibly can wrong.
00:06:28.102 --> 00:06:30.038
And that's been going on for over a decade now.
00:06:30.038 --> 00:06:33.775
A lot of this is post-colonial guilt.
00:06:33.775 --> 00:06:36.311
Most of these countries are former imperial powers,
00:06:36.311 --> 00:06:39.781
And they have just been absolutely overburdened
00:06:39.781 --> 00:06:43.952
By what has been termed suicidal empathy.
00:06:43.952 --> 00:06:47.922
But the truth is, everyone deserves a homeland.
00:06:47.922 --> 00:06:51.159
These people deserve a homeland.
00:06:51.159 --> 00:06:54.162
So do the french people.
00:06:54.162 --> 00:06:55.763
So do the english people.
00:06:55.763 --> 00:06:57.298
There's nothing wrong with being english or french or german.
00:06:57.298 --> 00:07:01.336
It is perfectly acceptable
00:07:01.336 --> 00:07:03.471
For them to have their own homeland
00:07:03.471 --> 00:07:05.740
And restrict their own immigration.
00:07:05.740 --> 00:07:07.742
So i am hopeful to see nigel farage as prime minister
00:07:07.742 --> 00:07:12.113
And similarly minded people,
00:07:12.113 --> 00:07:15.116
In control in france and in germany,
00:07:15.116 --> 00:07:18.052
And actually get to the point where we can have some rational
00:07:18.052 --> 00:07:22.257
Immigration policy.
00:07:22.257 --> 00:07:23.558
One of the things i would note very briefly, is that germany
00:07:23.558 --> 00:07:27.629
Is taking some positive steps in this direction.
00:07:27.629 --> 00:07:30.832
They now have plans to remove 9 million syrian
00:07:30.832 --> 00:07:35.570
So-called refugees who came in a decade ago.
00:07:35.570 --> 00:07:39.440
Now that syria is somewhat sorted
00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:41.609
And the civil war has ended.
00:07:41.609 --> 00:07:43.478
That's a huge step in the right direction.
00:07:43.478 --> 00:07:46.214
The real question is why they took them in the first place.
00:07:46.214 --> 00:07:48.850
Because all the overwhelming majority, more than 70%
00:07:48.850 --> 00:07:53.021
Of these so-called refugees, were military aged
00:07:53.021 --> 00:07:56.157
Males who did not bother to bring their families.
00:07:56.157 --> 00:07:59.694
Made no attempt whatsoever to bring wives or children
00:07:59.694 --> 00:08:02.964
Or mothers or fathers.
00:08:02.964 --> 00:08:04.365
And that should have told germany and the other countries
00:08:04.365 --> 00:08:08.503
Everything they needed to know.
00:08:08.503 --> 00:08:10.104
Sweden is getting a little handle on this.
00:08:10.104 --> 00:08:12.340
Germany starting to get a handle on this.
00:08:12.340 --> 00:08:14.842
I think there's a there's hope for europe,
00:08:14.842 --> 00:08:17.979
But it's going to be hard between here and there.
00:08:17.979 --> 00:08:20.114
It's a very difficult decisions to be made.
00:08:20.114 --> 00:08:22.050
And by the way, it was angela merkel
00:08:22.050 --> 00:08:23.685
Who opened the floodgates to those millions
00:08:23.685 --> 00:08:25.720
Of muslim refugees that you mentioned.
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:27.422
It seems to me
00:08:27.422 --> 00:08:28.523
That the united states, i've said here in the show,
00:08:28.523 --> 00:08:30.525
Is very much a firewall for western civilization right now.
00:08:30.525 --> 00:08:34.095
That includes, of course,
00:08:34.095 --> 00:08:35.630
Tackling the iranian regime and that problem.
00:08:35.630 --> 00:08:38.466
Iran still is not giving president trump what he wants.
00:08:38.466 --> 00:08:42.503
And at the end of the day, that includes, first and foremost,
00:08:42.503 --> 00:08:45.306
An end to the nuclear program opening up the strait of hormuz.
00:08:45.306 --> 00:08:48.876
What's your take on what we're seeing unfold right now?
00:08:48.876 --> 00:08:50.878
It's a slow process.
00:08:50.878 --> 00:08:52.180
Of course,
00:08:52.180 --> 00:08:53.281
The iranians will talk you to death if you let them.
00:08:53.281 --> 00:08:55.316
But do
00:08:55.316 --> 00:08:56.017
You think a deal will get done,
00:08:56.017 --> 00:08:56.951
Or is this going back to military action?
00:08:56.951 --> 00:08:59.487
I think the president is waiting them out.
00:08:59.487 --> 00:09:01.689
I think the people on our side who are dumb enough
00:09:01.689 --> 00:09:05.293
To say things, and some of these people are
00:09:05.293 --> 00:09:07.295
Pretty serious national security professionals,
00:09:07.295 --> 00:09:10.131
You know, going on about how iran has won this
00:09:10.131 --> 00:09:13.034
Conflict in what possible sense is that true?
00:09:13.034 --> 00:09:16.771
Because they haven't immediately bowed down to donald trump
00:09:16.771 --> 00:09:20.475
On the day that that the prognosticators
00:09:20.475 --> 00:09:23.478
Said they ought to. and that's just silly.
00:09:23.478 --> 00:09:26.381
I mean, we actually dropped atomic bombs on japan,
00:09:26.381 --> 00:09:29.984
And it took weeks for them to get around to surrendering.
00:09:29.984 --> 00:09:33.521
You know, we certainly haven't done that in iran.
00:09:33.521 --> 00:09:36.090
So, you know, this is, in my view,
00:09:36.090 --> 00:09:39.661
Stalling to some degree on both sides.
00:09:39.661 --> 00:09:42.997
The iranians believe they can wipe out the americans
00:09:42.997 --> 00:09:46.367
Because past administrations
00:09:46.367 --> 00:09:48.469
Have been capable of being waited out.
00:09:48.469 --> 00:09:51.072
We saw that with lyndon johnson.
00:09:51.072 --> 00:09:53.041
We saw that with bush and obama.
00:09:53.041 --> 00:09:55.576
We saw that with joe biden.
00:09:55.576 --> 00:09:57.278
So they figured, hey, might work for us.
00:09:57.278 --> 00:10:00.982
The other side of that coin, though, is that donald trump
00:10:00.982 --> 00:10:04.986
Is also incentivized to stall
00:10:04.986 --> 00:10:09.323
Because every single day the blockade continues.
00:10:09.323 --> 00:10:12.660
Iran loses 400 to $500 million
00:10:12.660 --> 00:10:16.631
A day in revenue that it absolutely has to have.
00:10:16.631 --> 00:10:21.636
Iran has ten times the population of israel,
00:10:21.636 --> 00:10:25.373
But only half of israel's economy.
00:10:25.373 --> 00:10:28.276
This is not a big economy.
00:10:28.276 --> 00:10:30.445
It could be a first world country if it were free.
00:10:30.445 --> 00:10:33.414
But as it is, it's deeply impoverished.
00:10:33.414 --> 00:10:36.584
The banking system has collapsed.
00:10:36.584 --> 00:10:38.519
Their currency has collapsed.
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:40.488
They are in deep, deep trouble, and they can't get income.
00:10:40.488 --> 00:10:44.058
And every day that passes, that situation gets worse.
00:10:44.058 --> 00:10:47.695
So the aim here, in my view, from the administration's
00:10:47.695 --> 00:10:51.833
Perspective, is to keep turning up
00:10:51.833 --> 00:10:53.701
That pressure
00:10:53.701 --> 00:10:54.802
Until they either do make a deal out of desperation,
00:10:54.802 --> 00:10:57.605
Which i don't believe they're going to do,
00:10:57.605 --> 00:10:59.640
Or the regime actually collapses,
00:10:59.640 --> 00:11:03.111
Probably because the people, having been trained and armed
00:11:03.111 --> 00:11:07.915
As seems almost certain to be going on right now,
00:11:07.915 --> 00:11:11.753
Find themselves in a position to overthrow the irgc.
00:11:11.753 --> 00:11:15.056
Yeah.
00:11:15.056 --> 00:11:16.257
So we are playing the long game, which is interesting, rod,
00:11:16.257 --> 00:11:17.558
Because iran is infamous
00:11:17.558 --> 00:11:19.060
For its patience and dragging things out.
00:11:19.060 --> 00:11:21.195
Now it's kind of the tables being turned, so to speak.
00:11:21.195 --> 00:11:23.898
The iranian regime,
00:11:23.898 --> 00:11:24.732
As you laid out, rod,
00:11:24.732 --> 00:11:25.867
Clearly weakened severely over the past few months,
00:11:25.867 --> 00:11:28.970
But so have their allies.
00:11:28.970 --> 00:11:30.738
Russia and china have been weakened as well.
00:11:30.738 --> 00:11:33.241
You've talked about russia right now
00:11:33.241 --> 00:11:35.143
In the middle of what you've called a slow strangulation.
00:11:35.143 --> 00:11:39.247
Tell us what's happening with putin's regime right now.
00:11:39.247 --> 00:11:41.949
It's all part of the same thing.
00:11:41.949 --> 00:11:43.885
You have these oil powers that have been arrayed
00:11:43.885 --> 00:11:47.455
Against us to one degree or another since.
00:11:47.455 --> 00:11:50.691
Since?
00:11:50.892 --> 00:11:51.526
Not long after i was born.
00:11:51.526 --> 00:11:54.228
You know, opec was the big baddie in the 70s.
00:11:54.228 --> 00:11:58.866
They shut down our oil supplies twice, in that decade.
00:11:58.866 --> 00:12:03.838
Just held the entire global economy hostage,
00:12:03.838 --> 00:12:06.674
Much to the benefit of the soviet union,
00:12:06.674 --> 00:12:08.609
Because russia was always the world's biggest producer.
00:12:08.609 --> 00:12:11.445
Well, russia isn't the world's biggest producer anymore.
00:12:11.445 --> 00:12:14.182
America out produces russia and saudi arabia put together.
00:12:14.182 --> 00:12:18.820
We are the largest exporter on earth
00:12:18.820 --> 00:12:21.689
Of of refined product.
00:12:21.689 --> 00:12:24.458
We're the third largest exporter of crude.
00:12:24.458 --> 00:12:27.829
And that's growing fast.
00:12:27.829 --> 00:12:30.198
So so that puts everything in a different light.
00:12:30.198 --> 00:12:34.202
And for donald trump to keep the strait closed
00:12:34.202 --> 00:12:38.806
Actually shifts long term supply contracts in a very meaningful
00:12:38.806 --> 00:12:43.144
Way from the middle east to texas and louisiana.
00:12:43.144 --> 00:12:47.048
And everybody on on the various cable
00:12:47.048 --> 00:12:50.151
Channels seems to be missing this.
00:12:50.151 --> 00:12:51.953
I can't fathom why russia's in very much the same boat.
00:12:51.953 --> 00:12:56.324
You saw today.
00:12:56.324 --> 00:12:58.259
The french navy intercepted a shadow fleet tanker
00:12:58.259 --> 00:13:02.196
Intended to send oil from russia,
00:13:02.196 --> 00:13:05.233
Presumably to china,
00:13:05.233 --> 00:13:06.767
Because they're just about the only customer left.
00:13:06.767 --> 00:13:09.770
That is all. illicit oil.
00:13:09.770 --> 00:13:12.006
That's oil. it's under sanctions.
00:13:12.006 --> 00:13:13.875
It's illegal to buy it.
00:13:13.875 --> 00:13:15.543
And if you do buy it, you're getting it at a steep discount.
00:13:15.543 --> 00:13:18.779
That has been a huge prop to the chinese economy
00:13:18.779 --> 00:13:21.949
For several years now.
00:13:21.949 --> 00:13:23.918
That has largely gone away
00:13:23.918 --> 00:13:25.686
Because, again, we're blockading iran.
00:13:25.686 --> 00:13:27.788
We flipped venezuela and we're intercepting
00:13:27.788 --> 00:13:31.292
The shadow fleet tankers that carry russian oil.
00:13:31.292 --> 00:13:34.528
Meanwhile, the ukrainians are blowing up their refineries,
00:13:34.528 --> 00:13:37.598
And they're pumping stations and everything else.
00:13:37.598 --> 00:13:39.834
They can get to far, far past
00:13:39.834 --> 00:13:42.970
Moscow, deep into russia now.
00:13:42.970 --> 00:13:46.140
And the russian oil industry is really in trouble.
00:13:46.140 --> 00:13:50.311
So? so these things being true.
00:13:50.311 --> 00:13:52.880
The president has a real
00:13:52.880 --> 00:13:54.282
Opportunity once he has sorted the iran situation.
00:13:54.282 --> 00:13:57.518
I think
00:13:57.752 --> 00:13:58.953
To get us to a durable peace between russia and ukraine,
00:13:58.953 --> 00:14:02.256
And that's going to really put china on its back foot.
00:14:02.256 --> 00:14:04.959
And folks, this is why rod dean martin is a must follow on x.
00:14:04.959 --> 00:14:08.429
Go out on x right now and follow there and subscribe.
00:14:08.429 --> 00:14:10.831
Of course the rod martin report more with doctor rod martin.
00:14:10.831 --> 00:14:14.435
After the break. we're bringing a closer to home.
00:14:14.435 --> 00:14:16.704
What's the status of the save act?
00:14:16.704 --> 00:14:19.040
Redistricting the 2026 midterms.
00:14:19.040 --> 00:14:21.509
More with rod martin after the break. stick around.
00:14:21.509 --> 00:14:26.995
More with rod martin after the break. stick around.
00:14:26.995 --> 00:14:30.282
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
00:14:31.050 --> 00:14:32.885
For decades, political power in america has been shaped
00:14:32.885 --> 00:14:36.155
By redistricting battles, census counts
00:14:36.155 --> 00:14:39.191
And fierce fights over who gets represented in dc.
00:14:39.191 --> 00:14:43.095
Now, a series of major court rulings and election reforms
00:14:43.095 --> 00:14:47.199
Could dramatically alter that landscape in 2026, 2028
00:14:47.199 --> 00:14:51.370
And beyond.
00:14:51.370 --> 00:14:52.504
And some are calling it the biggest political shakeup
00:14:52.504 --> 00:14:55.541
In a generation.
00:14:55.541 --> 00:14:56.742
We're back with doctor rob martin.
00:14:56.742 --> 00:14:58.344
He's ceo of martin capital
00:14:58.344 --> 00:14:59.712
And creator of the rod martin report.
00:14:59.712 --> 00:15:02.014
Rod gerrymandering.
00:15:02.014 --> 00:15:03.482
It's a word we're hearing a lot.
00:15:03.482 --> 00:15:04.650
People at home might say gerrymandering.
00:15:04.650 --> 00:15:06.352
Jerry. what what exactly is that?
00:15:06.352 --> 00:15:08.287
Break down. what?
00:15:08.287 --> 00:15:09.154
That is what the democrats are doing
00:15:09.154 --> 00:15:11.423
On that front, particularly when it comes to race
00:15:11.423 --> 00:15:14.860
And why the supreme court ruling recently was so important.
00:15:14.860 --> 00:15:18.364
Gerrymandering is as old as the world,
00:15:18.364 --> 00:15:20.432
And the supreme court says that it's fine.
00:15:20.432 --> 00:15:23.302
If if the democrats get control of a state legislature
00:15:23.302 --> 00:15:26.772
And their constitution says that they can draw the district,
00:15:26.772 --> 00:15:30.476
In their state however they want,
00:15:30.476 --> 00:15:32.444
Then they can, if they have some other system
00:15:32.444 --> 00:15:36.248
That they've created in their constitution like virginia has,
00:15:36.248 --> 00:15:39.952
Then they can't.
00:15:39.952 --> 00:15:41.120
And the recent democrat redistricting in in virginia,
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.024
Which would have eliminated all but one republican seat,
00:15:45.024 --> 00:15:48.460
Was struck down by the virginia supreme court on virginia
00:15:48.460 --> 00:15:52.564
Constitutional grounds.
00:15:52.564 --> 00:15:54.133
But when you're talking about u.s.
00:15:54.133 --> 00:15:55.768
House seats, for the most part, you're talking
00:15:55.768 --> 00:15:59.271
About an apportionment by the census every ten years.
00:15:59.271 --> 00:16:03.075
We have the census in 2020, we have the census in 2030
00:16:03.075 --> 00:16:06.612
That decides how many people live in each state.
00:16:06.612 --> 00:16:10.716
And based on that, you divide up 435 house
00:16:10.716 --> 00:16:15.154
Districts and 435 electoral votes
00:16:15.154 --> 00:16:18.557
And divvy them up among the state.
00:16:18.557 --> 00:16:20.626
Okay, so here's what the democrats have done for years.
00:16:20.626 --> 00:16:24.430
They have taken a twisted view, and their democrat judges
00:16:24.430 --> 00:16:29.368
Have gone with them on this of the voting rights act.
00:16:29.368 --> 00:16:33.038
They have said, we want to help black
00:16:33.038 --> 00:16:34.573
People have representation in congress.
00:16:34.573 --> 00:16:36.708
Therefore, we're going to have these
00:16:36.708 --> 00:16:37.943
Racially gerrymandered districts where our only consideration
00:16:37.943 --> 00:16:42.448
Really is race, just skin color.
00:16:42.448 --> 00:16:45.751
If you're black,
00:16:45.751 --> 00:16:46.885
We're going to cram you into this district like a ghetto
00:16:46.885 --> 00:16:49.822
And you're going to for sure elect a black representative.
00:16:49.822 --> 00:16:53.592
Well, that isn't even true.
00:16:53.592 --> 00:16:55.094
One of those racially gerrymandered
00:16:55.094 --> 00:16:56.762
Districts is in memphis, and it's consistently elected
00:16:56.762 --> 00:16:59.932
A jewish white guy named steve cohen
00:16:59.932 --> 00:17:03.035
So that that's not even accomplishing what they purport
00:17:03.035 --> 00:17:06.805
It does, what it actually does is it
00:17:06.805 --> 00:17:09.741
Sparks the democrats 21 u.s.
00:17:09.741 --> 00:17:13.445
House seats every two years that they don't have to compete in.
00:17:13.445 --> 00:17:18.750
So the supreme court just came back and said, look,
00:17:18.750 --> 00:17:22.421
If you're determining anything
00:17:22.421 --> 00:17:24.156
Based on race, that's just wrong.
00:17:24.156 --> 00:17:27.159
It violates the voting rights act, violates
00:17:27.159 --> 00:17:29.795
Civil rights act of 1964, but above all, it violates
00:17:29.795 --> 00:17:32.998
The equal protection clause of the 14th amendment,
00:17:32.998 --> 00:17:36.368
Which has been with us since right after the civil war.
00:17:36.368 --> 00:17:39.605
You just can't do it.
00:17:39.605 --> 00:17:41.507
Well, that puts again, probably 20, maybe 30 seats in play.
00:17:41.507 --> 00:17:46.512
That wouldn't have been.
00:17:46.512 --> 00:17:47.613
The democrats are going to win some of those anyway.
00:17:47.613 --> 00:17:49.615
That's fine.
00:17:49.615 --> 00:17:50.716
But republican pickups will probably number at least 12
00:17:50.716 --> 00:17:54.253
To 18 just on that in addition,
00:17:54.253 --> 00:17:58.557
We're having these redistricting fights in places
00:17:58.557 --> 00:18:01.026
Like texas and florida because the truth is,
00:18:01.026 --> 00:18:04.196
The republicans haven't gerrymandered on
00:18:04.196 --> 00:18:06.732
On the legitimate political terms that are allowed
00:18:06.732 --> 00:18:10.569
All that much, whereas nearly every democrat state has.
00:18:10.569 --> 00:18:14.806
Jerry macs in their own favor.
00:18:14.806 --> 00:18:18.010
So there's just not a lot of room to get more seats
00:18:18.010 --> 00:18:21.747
Out of the six states in new england where they get
00:18:21.747 --> 00:18:25.450
Where 40% of the vote goes to the republicans
00:18:25.450 --> 00:18:28.554
And they have zero house seats, the democrats have already
00:18:28.554 --> 00:18:32.691
Gerrymandered that to the max.
00:18:32.691 --> 00:18:34.326
So so what florida and texas have done and
00:18:34.326 --> 00:18:37.162
And some other states is simply try
00:18:37.162 --> 00:18:40.232
To rerun the playing field.
00:18:40.232 --> 00:18:43.302
Then you've got the census coming up.
00:18:43.302 --> 00:18:45.470
The census is going to find that millions of americans
00:18:45.470 --> 00:18:48.240
Have moved from blue states to red states.
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.442
We already you're seeing that, you know, babylon b laughs that
00:18:50.442 --> 00:18:54.213
U-haul has installed a bullet train from california to texas.
00:18:54.213 --> 00:18:58.450
Yeah. this is this is happening. yeah.
00:18:58.450 --> 00:19:01.119
But also with mass deportations, the blue states are losing
00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:06.692
People who were wrongly counted in the last census as citizens.
00:19:06.692 --> 00:19:12.431
And those states got extra representatives
00:19:12.431 --> 00:19:15.801
Because of that corruption that has to end,
00:19:15.801 --> 00:19:20.405
And the trump administration is committed to it.
00:19:20.405 --> 00:19:22.474
Rod, great break down, my friend.
00:19:22.474 --> 00:19:24.176
And look,
00:19:24.176 --> 00:19:25.344
It seems the 2030 census is going to benefit republicans.
00:19:25.344 --> 00:19:27.879
Certainly.
00:19:27.879 --> 00:19:28.480
And secondly,
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:29.681
The save act in the shorter term, god willing, the save act.
00:19:29.681 --> 00:19:33.185
Rod, what is the status in this?
00:19:33.185 --> 00:19:34.853
The republican controlled senate of the save act,
00:19:34.853 --> 00:19:37.756
Which would demand people show voter id?
00:19:37.756 --> 00:19:41.026
Imagine that.
00:19:41.026 --> 00:19:42.828
Well,
00:19:43.061 --> 00:19:43.996
John thune has held this up in the senate.
00:19:43.996 --> 00:19:46.765
And i think for what are probably good reasons
00:19:46.765 --> 00:19:50.602
From his own point of view, he's very concerned
00:19:50.602 --> 00:19:52.771
About doing anything
00:19:52.771 --> 00:19:53.872
That might monkey around with the filibuster rules,
00:19:53.872 --> 00:19:56.908
Because he figures that the democrats
00:19:56.908 --> 00:19:58.810
Will do it back to us a thousand fold, if they ever
00:19:58.810 --> 00:20:02.014
And when they ever, regain the senate.
00:20:02.014 --> 00:20:05.050
The problem is they're going to do that anyway.
00:20:05.050 --> 00:20:07.686
I mean, we're we're past the rubicon here.
00:20:07.686 --> 00:20:10.956
Everybody's going to do everything they can.
00:20:10.956 --> 00:20:13.325
So there needs to get with the program.
00:20:13.325 --> 00:20:15.761
Now, speaker johnson just did something, phenomenal.
00:20:15.761 --> 00:20:19.631
In my view.
00:20:19.631 --> 00:20:20.832
He's attaching the save america act, which requires things
00:20:20.832 --> 00:20:23.802
Like voter id, just basic things.
00:20:23.802 --> 00:20:26.872
You have to show i.d.
00:20:26.872 --> 00:20:27.973
To buy cough sirup.
00:20:27.973 --> 00:20:29.141
You have to show i.d.
00:20:29.141 --> 00:20:30.475
If you get pulled over on the highway, you have to show i.d.
00:20:30.475 --> 00:20:34.046
To buy a drink at a bar, for heaven's sake.
00:20:34.046 --> 00:20:37.015
But the most important thing we do voting.
00:20:37.015 --> 00:20:39.851
Oh, just anybody can come.
00:20:39.851 --> 00:20:42.054
That's crazy.
00:20:42.054 --> 00:20:43.555
And so the save america act is essential to preventing fraud,
00:20:43.555 --> 00:20:47.559
In the same way that says it's essential for you
00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:50.028
To be able to prove who you are
00:20:50.028 --> 00:20:51.430
When you open a checking account at your bank.
00:20:51.430 --> 00:20:54.533
We can't allow fraud.
00:20:54.533 --> 00:20:57.502
That has to happen through the safe act.
00:20:57.502 --> 00:21:00.639
That is the most important thing
00:21:00.639 --> 00:21:02.240
On the legislative agenda, johnson attaching it
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:05.477
To a reconciliation bill means that in theory,
00:21:05.477 --> 00:21:09.281
It can pass the senate with 51 votes.
00:21:09.281 --> 00:21:12.384
What will happen while the senate parliamentarian
00:21:12.384 --> 00:21:15.287
Was appointed by the democrat senator
00:21:15.287 --> 00:21:17.556
From nevada, harry reid, when he was majority leader,
00:21:17.556 --> 00:21:21.360
She's going to rule it out of order.
00:21:21.360 --> 00:21:23.261
There's no question about that.
00:21:23.261 --> 00:21:25.063
So it lands squarely back in johnson's lap.
00:21:25.063 --> 00:21:28.867
He's going to have to decide if he's going to arm twister
00:21:28.867 --> 00:21:32.771
Or if he's going to replace her, which is completely within
00:21:32.771 --> 00:21:36.007
His power.
00:21:36.007 --> 00:21:36.975
And it is utterly absurd
00:21:36.975 --> 00:21:38.610
That we are letting parliamentary rulings
00:21:38.610 --> 00:21:40.512
Be dictated by a democrat activist employee,
00:21:40.512 --> 00:21:44.483
Instead of by the elected leaders
00:21:44.483 --> 00:21:46.618
Of the united states senate.
00:21:46.618 --> 00:21:48.220
Yeah, right about 30s left.
00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:50.021
If it passes the save act, is that a complete game changer?
00:21:50.021 --> 00:21:53.191
What kind of ramifications would that have positive
00:21:53.191 --> 00:21:55.360
Ramifications about 30s left?
00:21:55.360 --> 00:21:57.596
It is a huge game changer.
00:21:58.163 --> 00:22:00.399
Nothing's a cure all.
00:22:00.399 --> 00:22:01.867
I mean, there will always be fraud.
00:22:01.867 --> 00:22:03.301
There's always been fraud.
00:22:03.301 --> 00:22:04.870
But this would clean up a tremendous amount of it,
00:22:04.870 --> 00:22:07.906
Particularly with regard to i.d., mail-in
00:22:07.906 --> 00:22:10.809
Ballots, things of that nature that have been heavily abused.
00:22:10.809 --> 00:22:14.379
It needs to happen.
00:22:14.379 --> 00:22:15.614
Great break down rod, as always, folks.
00:22:15.614 --> 00:22:17.382
Rod, dean,
00:22:17.382 --> 00:22:18.250
Martin, be sure to follow me on x across
00:22:18.250 --> 00:22:19.751
Social media and the rod martin report as well.
00:22:19.751 --> 00:22:21.853
Rod great break down my friend. keep up the great work.
00:22:21.853 --> 00:22:24.489
God bless.
00:22:24.489 --> 00:22:25.157
We will see you again soon.
00:22:25.157 --> 00:22:26.024
And coming up next,
00:22:26.024 --> 00:22:27.092
My final thoughts on the situation at home abroad
00:22:27.092 --> 00:22:30.629
And how we can pray, how we can live in these tumultuous times.
00:22:30.629 --> 00:22:35.000
That's coming up. don't move.
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.995
That's coming up. don't move.
00:22:37.995 --> 00:22:41.240
Welcome to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
00:22:41.974 --> 00:22:43.776
Look, we're talking about some heavy subject matter.
00:22:43.776 --> 00:22:45.812
Of course, the collapse of europe,
00:22:45.812 --> 00:22:47.647
Quite literally, paris burning the iran war, russia, china
00:22:47.647 --> 00:22:51.484
Wars and rumors of war.
00:22:51.484 --> 00:22:53.553
Bible times, no doubt. here's a good news.
00:22:53.553 --> 00:22:55.621
Jesus gave us the prescription for living in these times.
00:22:55.621 --> 00:22:58.357
In the gospel of john chapter 16, verse 33, i have told you
00:22:58.357 --> 00:23:01.861
These things he said, so that in me you may have peace.
00:23:01.861 --> 00:23:06.132
In this world you will have trouble.
00:23:06.132 --> 00:23:08.100
But take heart.
00:23:08.100 --> 00:23:09.335
I have overcome the world. amen.
00:23:09.335 --> 00:23:12.672
That includes the fight for israel and getting the truth
00:23:12.672 --> 00:23:16.209
For israel out there tomorrow night. we're doing exactly that.
00:23:16.209 --> 00:23:18.945
A great defense of israel with judge roy altman.
00:23:18.945 --> 00:23:21.280
David brod, you won't want to miss it.
00:23:21.280 --> 00:23:22.815
Until then, god bless you.
00:23:22.815 --> 00:23:25.284
We'll see you soon.
00:23:25.284 --> 00:23:25.284
