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 | Erick Stakelbeck: April 24, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | April 24, 2025

Welcome to stakelbeck
00:00:03.258 --> 00:00:04.359
Tonight i'm erick stakelbeck.
00:00:04.359 --> 00:00:05.928
And how good and pleasant
00:00:05.928 --> 00:00:07.930
It is for brethren to dwell together in unity.
00:00:07.930 --> 00:00:11.834
I thought of that verse from the book of psalms
00:00:11.834 --> 00:00:13.936
Earlier this week, when president trump announced
00:00:13.936 --> 00:00:16.338
That he and israeli prime minister
00:00:16.338 --> 00:00:17.906
Benjamin netanyahu had just spoke
00:00:17.906 --> 00:00:20.075
And that they were, quote, on the same side
00:00:20.075 --> 00:00:23.011
Of every issue that includes iran.
00:00:23.011 --> 00:00:26.849
Now, the trump administration
00:00:26.849 --> 00:00:28.083
Has been engaging in talks with iran
00:00:28.083 --> 00:00:30.419
In hopes
00:00:30.419 --> 00:00:31.520
Of resolving the iranian nuclear crisis peacefully,
00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:34.289
And are likely going to have a third
00:00:34.289 --> 00:00:35.824
Round of talks this weekend.
00:00:35.824 --> 00:00:37.593
But folks, at the end of the day,
00:00:37.593 --> 00:00:39.628
It's a safe bet that iran's regime is not going to agree
00:00:39.628 --> 00:00:43.632
To the kind of concessions
00:00:43.632 --> 00:00:45.567
That would satisfy the trump administration or israel.
00:00:45.567 --> 00:00:49.037
On wednesday, israelis
00:00:49.037 --> 00:00:50.506
Mark holocaust remembrance day, and the prime minister
00:00:50.506 --> 00:00:53.642
Had a message for the modern day nazis iran's ayatollahs.
00:00:53.642 --> 00:00:58.480
Take a look.
00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:39.388
There is absolutely no chance
00:01:40.022 --> 00:01:43.125
That israel will ever allow iran to acquire nuclear weapons
00:01:43.125 --> 00:01:46.962
And carry out a new holocaust against the jewish people.
00:01:46.962 --> 00:01:50.399
It ain't happening.
00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:51.600
And president trump has made the same point.
00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:53.902
Not on his watch.
00:01:53.902 --> 00:01:55.771
So the iranian regime has a decision to make.
00:01:55.771 --> 00:01:59.074
This is the year of reckoning for iran's nuclear program.
00:01:59.074 --> 00:02:03.078
And things are coming to a head.
00:02:03.078 --> 00:02:05.747
Fasten your seatbelts.
00:02:05.747 --> 00:02:07.449
No one understands the threat posed by radical islamic
00:02:07.449 --> 00:02:11.019
Fanatics like iran's leaders better than brigitte.
00:02:11.019 --> 00:02:14.223
Gabriel.
00:02:14.223 --> 00:02:15.090
She's one of the world's
00:02:15.090 --> 00:02:16.191
Top experts on islamic terrorism and jihadist ideology.
00:02:16.191 --> 00:02:20.295
And she joins us next.
00:02:20.295 --> 00:02:38.180
She survived war and stared down islamic extremism.
00:02:39.181 --> 00:02:43.018
And today she's sounding the alarm
00:02:43.018 --> 00:02:44.820
So that america doesn't repeat
00:02:44.820 --> 00:02:46.521
The mistakes made by other western democracies.
00:02:46.521 --> 00:02:49.658
Brigitte gabriel is one of the world's
00:02:49.658 --> 00:02:51.560
Top experts on terrorism and islamist ideology.
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:55.063
She's a national security analyst and new york times
00:02:55.063 --> 00:02:57.599
Bestselling author and founder and chairman
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.935
Of a great organization called act for america.
00:02:59.935 --> 00:03:02.671
Her latest book is rise in defense
00:03:02.671 --> 00:03:05.340
Of judeo-christian values and freedom.
00:03:05.340 --> 00:03:07.909
Brigitte joins us now.
00:03:07.909 --> 00:03:09.144
Brigitte, always great to see you.
00:03:09.144 --> 00:03:11.346
And hey,
00:03:11.346 --> 00:03:12.014
I think a great place to start
00:03:12.014 --> 00:03:13.582
Is with what is perhaps the greatest threat posed
00:03:13.582 --> 00:03:16.418
By islamic jihadist
00:03:16.418 --> 00:03:17.919
To america today, and that is iran's nuclear program.
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.024
We have a growing chorus of voices
00:03:22.024 --> 00:03:23.725
Right here in the united states saying, well, look,
00:03:23.725 --> 00:03:25.827
Let's let them have the bomb.
00:03:25.827 --> 00:03:27.829
It doesn't matter to us.
00:03:27.829 --> 00:03:29.364
Why is a nuclear iran so dangerous, not just for israel
00:03:29.364 --> 00:03:33.835
And the middle east, but for america?
00:03:33.835 --> 00:03:36.238
Well, look, iran is trying to establish
00:03:36.238 --> 00:03:38.974
Hegemony in the middle east.
00:03:38.974 --> 00:03:40.442
And this is exactly why the arab countries in the middle east,
00:03:40.442 --> 00:03:43.979
Saudi arabia, iran, the arab emirates,
00:03:43.979 --> 00:03:47.115
All these nations are coming and working
00:03:47.115 --> 00:03:49.651
Together, actually, even with israel against iran,
00:03:49.651 --> 00:03:52.788
Because iran is a destabilizing force for the middle east.
00:03:52.788 --> 00:03:57.259
And that will also translate to destabilizing force
00:03:57.259 --> 00:04:00.629
Throughout the world.
00:04:00.629 --> 00:04:01.897
We know that iran funds terrorist regimes
00:04:01.897 --> 00:04:04.633
Across the globe.
00:04:04.633 --> 00:04:05.701
Look, hezbollah, which is a proxy army of iran,
00:04:05.701 --> 00:04:08.904
Had committed terrorist attacks on four continents
00:04:08.904 --> 00:04:12.240
Around the world.
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:13.141
So its influence
00:04:13.141 --> 00:04:14.609
Is not just limited to lebanon or to yemen or to syria.
00:04:14.609 --> 00:04:19.848
It is spreading throughout the world, throughout its proxy.
00:04:19.848 --> 00:04:22.751
Now, if iran develops nuclear weapons,
00:04:22.751 --> 00:04:25.420
If they finish the bomb, they will use it against israel.
00:04:25.420 --> 00:04:28.890
And that's exactly why
00:04:28.890 --> 00:04:31.059
We cannot allow them to get to that point.
00:04:31.059 --> 00:04:33.328
And thank god we have president trump in office
00:04:33.328 --> 00:04:35.897
Who is never going to allow iran to get to this point.
00:04:35.897 --> 00:04:39.134
Great point.
00:04:39.134 --> 00:04:40.369
The good news is, number one, president trump is in office
00:04:40.369 --> 00:04:42.704
Real strong leadership.
00:04:42.704 --> 00:04:44.373
And number two, that iran and ring of fire, hezbollah,
00:04:44.373 --> 00:04:47.609
Which you know very well.
00:04:47.609 --> 00:04:48.643
We'll talk about that in a minute.
00:04:48.643 --> 00:04:49.978
Hamas, the houthis, they're on the run right now.
00:04:49.978 --> 00:04:52.781
Iran is severely weakened.
00:04:52.781 --> 00:04:54.716
It seems like this moment is really the perfect time
00:04:54.716 --> 00:04:58.186
To capitalize and really strike a blow against iran's regime.
00:04:58.186 --> 00:05:02.023
What do you think?
00:05:02.023 --> 00:05:02.791
Do you think this regime in
00:05:02.791 --> 00:05:04.092
Tehran is more vulnerable now than they've ever been?
00:05:04.092 --> 00:05:08.130
It is very vulnerable right now, more than it has ever been,
00:05:08.130 --> 00:05:11.600
Because we basically, cut off their achilles heel.
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:16.705
And here is why.
00:05:16.705 --> 00:05:18.140
Because we destroyed pretty much their proxies.
00:05:18.140 --> 00:05:22.110
I mean, fuzzball is basically, nothing right now.
00:05:22.110 --> 00:05:25.914
Yes, they are still in lebanon,
00:05:25.914 --> 00:05:27.482
But they lost all their power and all their strength.
00:05:27.482 --> 00:05:30.118
The same thing with hamas.
00:05:30.118 --> 00:05:31.253
Hamas is fighting to survive.
00:05:31.253 --> 00:05:33.121
The same thing.
00:05:33.121 --> 00:05:34.289
Look how they lost, syria because hezbollah was propping
00:05:34.289 --> 00:05:37.726
And working with the assad regime in syria.
00:05:37.726 --> 00:05:39.928
Look, what we're doing to the heart
00:05:39.928 --> 00:05:41.396
Is, america is bombing the hottest to the point
00:05:41.396 --> 00:05:44.199
And threatening iran
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:45.033
That even iran said, look, we have
00:05:45.033 --> 00:05:46.668
We have nothing to do with the hostages.
00:05:46.668 --> 00:05:48.103
We're not doing anything with them.
00:05:48.103 --> 00:05:49.704
And after israel bombed them about a month, month
00:05:49.704 --> 00:05:53.208
And a half ago,
00:05:53.208 --> 00:05:54.476
Where they're destroyed,
00:05:54.476 --> 00:05:56.244
Their capacity to fight and defend themselves.
00:05:56.244 --> 00:05:58.814
And so this is the time to strike iran.
00:05:58.814 --> 00:06:01.082
And president trump will allow israel to do so.
00:06:01.082 --> 00:06:04.586
However, having said that,
00:06:04.586 --> 00:06:06.321
Right now, the president on the world stage
00:06:06.321 --> 00:06:08.890
Is telling the world, look,
00:06:08.890 --> 00:06:10.158
We're stopping
00:06:10.158 --> 00:06:10.859
Iran, israel from bombing iran
00:06:10.859 --> 00:06:12.461
Because we want to try negotiations fully knowing
00:06:12.461 --> 00:06:15.964
That iran will not accept any terms
00:06:15.964 --> 00:06:18.967
Presented by president trump or by by the united states.
00:06:18.967 --> 00:06:22.871
President trump understands that iran's signature
00:06:22.871 --> 00:06:26.174
Doesn't mean anything on paper. he knows they are lying.
00:06:26.174 --> 00:06:29.110
He knows they would lie in the name of their religion
00:06:29.110 --> 00:06:32.113
In order to deceive for them to win the war at the end.
00:06:32.113 --> 00:06:35.317
So he doesn't trust them. he knows their tactics.
00:06:35.317 --> 00:06:38.019
But he is telling the world, we tried negotiations.
00:06:38.019 --> 00:06:41.923
We gave it all our best.
00:06:41.923 --> 00:06:43.758
So when iran.
00:06:43.758 --> 00:06:44.960
So when israel does strike iran, the world cannot get upset
00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:48.530
With america, nor with president trump
00:06:48.530 --> 00:06:51.066
Because he did not try democracy diplomacy.
00:06:51.066 --> 00:06:53.768
Yeah. appreciate great points all around.
00:06:53.768 --> 00:06:55.303
And look, president trump just the other day
00:06:55.303 --> 00:06:57.005
Had a call with benjamin netanyahu and said,
00:06:57.005 --> 00:06:59.241
We're on the same page on everything, including iran.
00:06:59.241 --> 00:07:02.911
Hey, bringing it closer to home.
00:07:02.911 --> 00:07:04.746
You do such great work at act for america
00:07:04.746 --> 00:07:07.415
On the islamist infiltration right here in the west.
00:07:07.415 --> 00:07:10.752
Europe, in particular, the united states.
00:07:10.752 --> 00:07:12.954
Do you see president trump?
00:07:12.954 --> 00:07:14.222
And what a sea change in leadership.
00:07:14.222 --> 00:07:16.992
What a difference a few months makes from
00:07:16.992 --> 00:07:18.793
Joe biden to donald trump, of course.
00:07:18.793 --> 00:07:20.762
But do you see him as a defender of not only america,
00:07:20.762 --> 00:07:24.933
But judeo-christian in western civilization?
00:07:24.933 --> 00:07:28.136
The stand he's taken for christians.
00:07:28.136 --> 00:07:29.804
He now has a faith office in the white house.
00:07:29.804 --> 00:07:32.874
It seems like it's a new day for defense of the west
00:07:32.874 --> 00:07:36.011
Under president trump's leadership.
00:07:36.011 --> 00:07:38.179
It is a new day, and he is a leader like no other.
00:07:38.179 --> 00:07:41.316
You know, people had a lot of hesitation,
00:07:41.316 --> 00:07:43.051
Especially christians in the beginning
00:07:43.051 --> 00:07:44.553
Said, oh, i can never vote for president trump.
00:07:44.553 --> 00:07:46.888
He is not a godly man.
00:07:46.888 --> 00:07:48.623
President trump has proven to be more godly
00:07:48.623 --> 00:07:51.893
Than george bush,
00:07:51.893 --> 00:07:53.161
Who didn't stand up for judeo
00:07:53.161 --> 00:07:54.496
Christian values the way president trump
00:07:54.496 --> 00:07:56.298
Is standing for judeo christian values,
00:07:56.298 --> 00:07:58.633
Or carter or anybody that came before him.
00:07:58.633 --> 00:08:01.269
I mean, president trump is boldly standing
00:08:01.269 --> 00:08:05.106
At leading america and standing, telling the world
00:08:05.106 --> 00:08:08.410
We are a judeo-christian nation.
00:08:08.410 --> 00:08:11.613
I mean, he honors the prayer breakfast.
00:08:11.613 --> 00:08:13.882
He stands up at the prayer breakfast.
00:08:13.882 --> 00:08:15.317
He confesses his faith.
00:08:15.317 --> 00:08:16.685
He is
00:08:16.685 --> 00:08:17.786
Standing to defend christianity, to defend christmas,
00:08:17.786 --> 00:08:20.488
To defend resurrection day at the white house.
00:08:20.488 --> 00:08:23.325
I mean, look at the difference between last year
00:08:23.325 --> 00:08:25.860
Or the last four years under biden and president trump.
00:08:25.860 --> 00:08:29.831
You know, this past weekend, on resurrection day
00:08:30.832 --> 00:08:33.902
At the white house, he is doing amazing things.
00:08:33.902 --> 00:08:36.905
And this is exactly what we need.
00:08:36.905 --> 00:08:38.840
We need bold leaders to profess that america is
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:42.210
A nation founded on judeo-christian values.
00:08:42.210 --> 00:08:45.380
Western civilization was founded on judeo-christian values.
00:08:45.380 --> 00:08:49.517
And unlike european leaders who are afraid of their shadow
00:08:49.517 --> 00:08:53.321
And afraid to stand up for what made europe great,
00:08:53.321 --> 00:08:56.491
For what made western civilization great, great
00:08:56.491 --> 00:08:59.694
President trump understands
00:08:59.694 --> 00:09:01.296
That we are the last of the mohicans,
00:09:01.296 --> 00:09:03.565
That we are the shining light on a hill.
00:09:03.565 --> 00:09:06.267
That we are the leaders of the world.
00:09:06.267 --> 00:09:08.570
That we are
00:09:08.570 --> 00:09:09.537
Definitely the leaders of the western world,
00:09:09.537 --> 00:09:11.740
The judeo-christian world.
00:09:11.740 --> 00:09:13.208
And he knows the stakes that we are facing right now.
00:09:13.208 --> 00:09:16.411
And he is standing up and saying, not under my watch,
00:09:16.411 --> 00:09:19.948
Not as long as i have power, not as long as i am breathing.
00:09:19.948 --> 00:09:24.019
I will stand up and honor america's heritage.
00:09:24.019 --> 00:09:27.222
I will honor america's faith, the judeo-christian foundation
00:09:27.222 --> 00:09:30.959
Of this great nation, and i will fight for it.
00:09:30.959 --> 00:09:33.962
Laying everything on the line my wealth, my reputation,
00:09:33.962 --> 00:09:38.133
My billions, my family's life, my family security.
00:09:38.133 --> 00:09:42.470
I'm willing to risk it all in order to save this country.
00:09:42.470 --> 00:09:46.374
And that's exactly why
00:09:46.374 --> 00:09:47.742
Erick, my organization, act for america.org.
00:09:47.742 --> 00:09:51.713
And i encourage everyone watching us right now
00:09:51.713 --> 00:09:54.115
To go to act for america.org and stand with us.
00:09:54.115 --> 00:09:58.653
We are working with the president
00:09:58.653 --> 00:10:00.422
And his administration.
00:10:00.422 --> 00:10:02.123
Hand in hand
00:10:02.123 --> 00:10:03.391
In making sure we pass as many legislation as we can.
00:10:03.391 --> 00:10:07.595
We worked with the team on the executive orders.
00:10:07.595 --> 00:10:09.798
As you know, when he came into office,
00:10:09.798 --> 00:10:11.700
He signed so many executive orders.
00:10:11.700 --> 00:10:13.902
Right now, what actor america is working on
00:10:13.902 --> 00:10:18.006
Is working with the administration
00:10:18.006 --> 00:10:19.741
On codifying these executive orders,
00:10:19.741 --> 00:10:22.610
Passing them, making them into law,
00:10:22.610 --> 00:10:24.913
Because we're not guaranteed another four years.
00:10:24.913 --> 00:10:27.649
We only have 16 months where we know we can pass bills
00:10:27.649 --> 00:10:32.520
And make an impact policy,
00:10:32.520 --> 00:10:34.856
Because we don't know if we're going
00:10:34.856 --> 00:10:35.924
To win the midterm election or not.
00:10:35.924 --> 00:10:37.859
We are now working to codify the bills.
00:10:37.859 --> 00:10:40.495
Yeah. midterms.
00:10:40.495 --> 00:10:41.830
Hard to believe.
00:10:41.830 --> 00:10:42.797
Midterms right around the corner in a sense.
00:10:42.797 --> 00:10:44.899
And after the break you're going to come right back with this.
00:10:44.899 --> 00:10:46.501
Brigitte, i want to hear more about that great legislation.
00:10:46.501 --> 00:10:49.237
And act for america is pushing on capitol hill.
00:10:49.237 --> 00:10:51.673
Plus, what about brigitte's personal story?
00:10:51.673 --> 00:10:54.309
I said she was a survivor of war.
00:10:54.309 --> 00:10:56.244
You'll get the inside story after the break.
00:10:56.244 --> 00:10:58.680
Don't move.
00:10:58.680 --> 00:11:05.003
Don't move.
00:11:05.003 --> 00:11:08.519
Welcome back to that.
00:11:09.019 --> 00:11:10.087
But tonight we're talking to our good friend
00:11:10.087 --> 00:11:11.455
Brigitte gabriel, founder and chairman of act for america.
00:11:11.455 --> 00:11:15.226
Top national security analyst, author of great
00:11:15.226 --> 00:11:17.561
Bestselling books like rise, which you can check out
00:11:17.561 --> 00:11:20.231
On amazon.com.
00:11:20.231 --> 00:11:21.398
Wherever books are sold,
00:11:21.398 --> 00:11:22.466
Follow brigitte also on x and across social media.
00:11:22.466 --> 00:11:25.636
Brigitte, i mentioned before the break,
00:11:25.636 --> 00:11:27.037
You're a survivor of war.
00:11:27.037 --> 00:11:28.072
You stared islamic extremism in the face.
00:11:28.072 --> 00:11:31.142
You're a first firsthand survivor of islamic jihad.
00:11:31.142 --> 00:11:34.311
That's no exaggeration.
00:11:34.311 --> 00:11:35.746
Tell us a bit about your life as a little girl.
00:11:35.746 --> 00:11:37.748
Girl growing up in southern lebanon.
00:11:37.748 --> 00:11:39.450
Look, jihadist rockets hit your home.
00:11:39.450 --> 00:11:42.353
You're buried in the rubble.
00:11:42.353 --> 00:11:43.621
You and your family,
00:11:43.621 --> 00:11:44.889
A christian family on the run from terrorist for seven years.
00:11:44.889 --> 00:11:48.225
Tell us a bit more about how your personal experiences
00:11:48.225 --> 00:11:51.495
Growing up in southern lebanon shaped who you are today.
00:11:51.495 --> 00:11:55.299
Well, the important point that i want to emphasize here is
00:11:56.433 --> 00:11:59.603
I was born and raised in
00:11:59.603 --> 00:12:01.005
What used to be the only majority
00:12:01.005 --> 00:12:03.274
Christian country in the middle east.
00:12:03.274 --> 00:12:05.142
We were open minded. we were fair.
00:12:05.142 --> 00:12:07.144
We were tolerant. we were multicultural.
00:12:07.144 --> 00:12:09.146
We prided ourselves in our multiculturalism.
00:12:09.146 --> 00:12:11.849
Does that sound familiar so far?
00:12:11.849 --> 00:12:14.084
What happened to us is we
00:12:14.084 --> 00:12:15.619
Imported people into our country who did not share our values,
00:12:15.619 --> 00:12:19.824
And they ended up using our open mindedness, our democracy, our
00:12:19.824 --> 00:12:24.395
Tolerance, our open heartedness to destroy our country.
00:12:24.395 --> 00:12:28.732
My 911 happened to me in 1975 when radical islamist
00:12:28.732 --> 00:12:33.170
Blew up my home, bringing it down, bring me under the rubble.
00:12:33.170 --> 00:12:36.941
One day i ended up in a hospital for two and a half months,
00:12:36.941 --> 00:12:40.110
And later ended up
00:12:40.110 --> 00:12:41.278
Living in a bomb shelter underground in an eight by ten,
00:12:41.278 --> 00:12:44.782
Bomb shelter, without electricity,
00:12:44.782 --> 00:12:47.151
Without water and very little food.
00:12:47.151 --> 00:12:49.153
And that's where i lived for the next seven years of my life.
00:12:49.153 --> 00:12:52.356
Robbed of my youth.
00:12:52.356 --> 00:12:53.924
Finally, i ended up moving to israel,
00:12:53.924 --> 00:12:55.893
Becoming a news anchor for world news in the middle east,
00:12:55.893 --> 00:12:58.596
Meeting an american war correspondent, getting married
00:12:58.596 --> 00:13:01.065
And coming to america.
00:13:01.065 --> 00:13:01.966
That's how i ended up in america.
00:13:01.966 --> 00:13:04.235
So when i look at what's happening
00:13:04.235 --> 00:13:06.403
In the world today, when i look at europe
00:13:06.403 --> 00:13:08.572
Becoming your arabia right before our own eyes, i'm
00:13:08.572 --> 00:13:12.142
Watching a movie that i have already witnessed
00:13:12.142 --> 00:13:14.578
In my our own country of birth there.
00:13:14.578 --> 00:13:17.081
I'm watching it unfold right now in america, across europe.
00:13:17.081 --> 00:13:21.518
My past is america's future.
00:13:21.518 --> 00:13:24.255
Unless we wake up today and sound the alarm
00:13:24.255 --> 00:13:27.591
And stand strong and believe those who say they hate us,
00:13:27.591 --> 00:13:30.895
They want to destroy us.
00:13:30.895 --> 00:13:32.229
Believe them because they usually follow through.
00:13:32.229 --> 00:13:35.032
And that's exactly why i started my organization, act
00:13:35.032 --> 00:13:38.302
For america.
00:13:38.302 --> 00:13:39.303
And i named my organization act for america
00:13:39.303 --> 00:13:43.040
Not think about america, not hope for america,
00:13:43.040 --> 00:13:46.277
Not pray for america, but act for america.
00:13:46.277 --> 00:13:50.114
Because you can think
00:13:50.114 --> 00:13:51.615
And you can hope, and you can pray and you should.
00:13:51.615 --> 00:13:53.817
I do and you do pray for our country.
00:13:53.817 --> 00:13:56.787
But without taking action, nothing happens.
00:13:56.787 --> 00:14:00.324
You know, the bible says,
00:14:00.324 --> 00:14:01.558
Be as kind as dove and as wise as serpents.
00:14:01.558 --> 00:14:05.462
Well, we in our nation have perfected
00:14:05.462 --> 00:14:07.965
The be as kind as dove,
00:14:07.965 --> 00:14:09.767
But we are forgetting something very important.
00:14:09.767 --> 00:14:12.436
Be as wise as serpents.
00:14:12.436 --> 00:14:15.005
And being wise doesn't mean not liking anybody
00:14:15.005 --> 00:14:18.542
Or hating anybody.
00:14:18.542 --> 00:14:19.777
Know being wise.
00:14:19.777 --> 00:14:21.245
Meaning you can still pray for your enemy.
00:14:21.245 --> 00:14:23.981
You can forgive those who trespass against you.
00:14:23.981 --> 00:14:26.383
You can lift them up in prayer.
00:14:26.383 --> 00:14:28.085
But you have to be wise in the way you are operating.
00:14:28.085 --> 00:14:31.322
And i believe christians have a special duty
00:14:31.322 --> 00:14:35.359
To be able to be god's instruments of change.
00:14:35.359 --> 00:14:38.595
God doesn't change the world through lightning in the sky.
00:14:38.595 --> 00:14:41.432
God uses his people as his instruments of change.
00:14:41.432 --> 00:14:45.602
Well said. as always, we are out of time.
00:14:45.602 --> 00:14:47.504
Unfortunately, this was great.
00:14:47.504 --> 00:14:48.939
Hey, act for america.org lays out
00:14:48.939 --> 00:14:50.941
All the legislation that right now, brigitte and her team
00:14:50.941 --> 00:14:53.978
Are working on diligently every day on capitol
00:14:53.978 --> 00:14:56.547
Hill for you, for us, for the american people.
00:14:56.547 --> 00:14:59.650
Brigitte, we can't thank you enough.
00:14:59.650 --> 00:15:00.884
We'll have you back again. very soon.
00:15:00.884 --> 00:15:02.820
Follow brigitte folks across social media.
00:15:02.820 --> 00:15:05.289
Brigitte god bless.
00:15:05.289 --> 00:15:06.423
We appreciate. we'll see you again soon.
00:15:06.423 --> 00:15:08.325
And coming up after the break, the israeli super supplement
00:15:08.325 --> 00:15:12.096
Made in the holy land that has changed my life and my health.
00:15:12.096 --> 00:15:16.367
We'll tell you about it next. stick around.
00:15:16.367 --> 00:15:22.997
We'll tell you about it next. stick around.
00:15:22.997 --> 00:15:25.279
Most of you know how
00:15:25.747 --> 00:15:26.948
Important my faith and staying healthy are for me.
00:15:26.948 --> 00:15:29.951
I feel god has given us these incredible bodies
00:15:29.951 --> 00:15:32.887
And it's up to us
00:15:32.887 --> 00:15:34.022
To take care of them so we can do what god
00:15:34.022 --> 00:15:37.025
Has put us on this earth to do.
00:15:37.025 --> 00:15:38.960
So i care about the food i eat,
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:41.029
And i try to go to the gym at least four times a week.
00:15:41.029 --> 00:15:44.032
I also rely on vinnie for the red grape circulation
00:15:44.032 --> 00:15:47.935
Super food for better blood flow i've been taking for the past
00:15:47.935 --> 00:15:51.773
Few years now.
00:15:51.773 --> 00:15:52.707
It's been an absolute game changer for me.
00:15:52.707 --> 00:15:55.510
The difference vinnie has made in my energy levels,
00:15:55.510 --> 00:15:58.446
Mental alertness and overall vitality has been amazing.
00:15:58.446 --> 00:16:02.784
And i'm not alone.
00:16:02.784 --> 00:16:04.018
It's the talk of the town here at tbn with five star reviews
00:16:04.018 --> 00:16:07.822
From matt crouch, governor mike huckabee, oz hawkins,
00:16:07.822 --> 00:16:11.192
Sheila walsh and eric metaxas, the list goes on.
00:16:11.192 --> 00:16:14.996
And i personally
00:16:14.996 --> 00:16:16.364
Want you to know that virginia is the real deal.
00:16:16.364 --> 00:16:19.634
The science is sound.
00:16:19.634 --> 00:16:21.169
It really delivers on its promise.
00:16:21.169 --> 00:16:23.638
It improves our blood flow.
00:16:23.638 --> 00:16:26.107
Joining me now is ellen sobel, the ceo of bio
00:16:26.107 --> 00:16:29.677
Harvest sciences, the makers of virginia.
00:16:29.677 --> 00:16:32.280
And he's come all the way from israel
00:16:32.280 --> 00:16:34.115
To tell us more about how vineyard came to be
00:16:34.115 --> 00:16:37.051
And why it works so well. ellen, great to have you with us.
00:16:37.051 --> 00:16:39.754
Welcome.
00:16:39.754 --> 00:16:40.822
It's a great pleasure to be with you here again.
00:16:40.822 --> 00:16:43.691
Thank you.
00:16:43.691 --> 00:16:44.725
Erick, so much has happened since we were last
00:16:44.725 --> 00:16:46.227
Together in israel, and now we're in texas.
00:16:46.227 --> 00:16:48.429
And look, 4.8 out of 5.0
00:16:48.429 --> 00:16:51.566
In terms of customer ratings, 96% of vineyard users.
00:16:51.566 --> 00:16:55.570
Ellen recommended to a friend.
00:16:55.570 --> 00:16:57.472
And i have to tell you,
00:16:57.472 --> 00:16:58.439
Vineyard has made a huge difference
00:16:58.439 --> 00:17:00.141
In my life, my personal story that really sold me on vineyard.
00:17:00.141 --> 00:17:03.711
I was in washington, d.c., covering the inauguration.
00:17:03.711 --> 00:17:07.148
Guess what, ellen? i take every day.
00:17:07.148 --> 00:17:08.850
The capsule, every single day.
00:17:08.850 --> 00:17:10.451
I forgot my vineyard capsules.
00:17:10.451 --> 00:17:12.220
It's hours on end, early wake up calls late at night,
00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:15.523
No veneer.
00:17:15.523 --> 00:17:16.657
And my producer pointed it out and said, you're dragging.
00:17:16.657 --> 00:17:20.461
You're not as sharp as you usually are.
00:17:20.461 --> 00:17:22.697
What gives?
00:17:22.697 --> 00:17:23.364
What's going on?
00:17:23.364 --> 00:17:24.999
And i told her i forgot my vineyard.
00:17:24.999 --> 00:17:27.068
So there you go.
00:17:27.068 --> 00:17:27.969
A firsthand account of the difference
00:17:27.969 --> 00:17:30.271
Vineyard makes stamina, energy, mental alertness.
00:17:30.271 --> 00:17:34.008
And erick, it was at that moment that you realized how important
00:17:34.008 --> 00:17:38.546
Blood flow is to power your body's operating mechanism.
00:17:38.546 --> 00:17:43.417
Do you know that you have 60,000 miles
00:17:43.417 --> 00:17:47.822
Of arteries, capillaries and veins in our bodies?
00:17:47.822 --> 00:17:51.659
That it's like a highway?
00:17:51.659 --> 00:17:52.927
We got to make sure that those highways of four lane highways,
00:17:52.927 --> 00:17:57.031
Not a one lane highway, because with more blood flow,
00:17:57.031 --> 00:18:00.034
We have more oxygen, more nutrients
00:18:00.034 --> 00:18:02.303
Flowing to the body, tissues,
00:18:02.303 --> 00:18:04.071
Cells and organs, which means more physical energy
00:18:04.071 --> 00:18:07.175
And more blood flow to the brain,
00:18:07.175 --> 00:18:08.876
Which means more mental alertness and goodbye brain fog.
00:18:08.876 --> 00:18:12.713
Absolutely.
00:18:12.713 --> 00:18:13.447
Hey, i want to drill down deeper
00:18:13.447 --> 00:18:15.349
About what makes veneers so good for our blood flow.
00:18:15.349 --> 00:18:18.853
It really starts with the god given goodness
00:18:18.853 --> 00:18:21.856
That comes from red grapes.
00:18:21.856 --> 00:18:23.457
For decades, we've heard about
00:18:23.457 --> 00:18:25.092
The exceptional health benefits of the mediterranean diet.
00:18:25.092 --> 00:18:29.230
Studies show populations following this diet
00:18:29.230 --> 00:18:32.466
Have significantly better cardiovascular health,
00:18:32.466 --> 00:18:35.536
Very good brain function, and even tend to live longer.
00:18:35.536 --> 00:18:39.440
The mediterranean diet consist of a lot of fresh
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:42.276
Vegetables, fruit, and a lot of red wine as well.
00:18:42.276 --> 00:18:45.646
Correct. and the red wine is critical.
00:18:45.646 --> 00:18:48.249
And this is when we
00:18:48.249 --> 00:18:49.350
Bring the power of scripture and science together,
00:18:49.350 --> 00:18:51.953
Because as you remember,
00:18:51.953 --> 00:18:53.454
Paul said to timothy,
00:18:53.454 --> 00:18:54.655
Take a little red wine and improve your health.
00:18:54.655 --> 00:18:56.991
And when you understand the power of the red grape,
00:18:56.991 --> 00:18:59.427
The best place to start is the french paradox.
00:18:59.427 --> 00:19:02.230
Many people understand that the french,
00:19:02.230 --> 00:19:04.031
Who have a very, very fatty diet,
00:19:04.031 --> 00:19:06.067
Lots of cheeses, lots of potatoes,
00:19:06.067 --> 00:19:07.902
They have amazing cardiovascular health.
00:19:07.902 --> 00:19:10.271
So when scientists went to understand
00:19:10.271 --> 00:19:12.406
What exactly was it that gave it cardiovascular health,
00:19:12.406 --> 00:19:15.309
They realized it was moderate consumption of red wine.
00:19:15.309 --> 00:19:18.579
That's 2 to 3 glasses of red wine every day.
00:19:18.579 --> 00:19:21.782
When they understood what was it inside the red wine,
00:19:21.782 --> 00:19:24.252
They realized it was a critical polyphenol,
00:19:24.252 --> 00:19:26.454
Specifically the hero polyphenol called seed resveratrol.
00:19:26.454 --> 00:19:31.659
Throughout technology
00:19:31.659 --> 00:19:33.094
That we've now spent $100 million,
00:19:33.094 --> 00:19:35.329
What we were able to do is increase
00:19:35.329 --> 00:19:37.465
The levels of the amount of perceived resveratrol
00:19:37.465 --> 00:19:41.202
By 100 times more than what's found in the red grape.
00:19:41.202 --> 00:19:44.872
Today,
00:19:44.872 --> 00:19:46.207
We are the only company in the world
00:19:46.207 --> 00:19:48.976
That can produce an industrial scale
00:19:48.976 --> 00:19:52.113
Poppy seed resveratrol from the red grape, together
00:19:52.113 --> 00:19:54.882
With the other polyphenols in a way which is non-gmo.
00:19:54.882 --> 00:19:58.119
So we don't in any way
00:19:58.119 --> 00:19:59.320
Change the molecular composition of the actual compound itself.
00:19:59.320 --> 00:20:03.457
So in each one of these capsules,
00:20:03.457 --> 00:20:06.427
It's equivalent to the same amount of
00:20:06.427 --> 00:20:08.195
Resveratrol as a thousand red grapes
00:20:08.195 --> 00:20:09.830
And one bottle of red wine.
00:20:09.830 --> 00:20:11.499
And in the case of red wine, no sugar,
00:20:11.499 --> 00:20:14.001
No calories, and of course, no alcohol.
00:20:14.001 --> 00:20:16.137
And as a science based company without vineyard red
00:20:16.137 --> 00:20:19.874
Grapes, hill powder,
00:20:19.874 --> 00:20:21.208
We went into a clinical trial, demonstrated
00:20:21.208 --> 00:20:24.145
That after taking one capsule erick of vinegar
00:20:24.145 --> 00:20:27.815
Every day for 90 days, we were able to significantly
00:20:27.815 --> 00:20:32.186
Increase the dilation of one's arteries.
00:20:32.186 --> 00:20:35.256
That means more blood flow.
00:20:35.856 --> 00:20:38.059
And blood flow is such a critical part
00:20:38.059 --> 00:20:40.027
Of your body's operating mechanism. amazing.
00:20:40.027 --> 00:20:42.530
That's why i love the science. it goes into vinegar.
00:20:42.530 --> 00:20:44.865
Yeah.
00:20:44.865 --> 00:20:46.067
I hope by now you can see that when we improve blood flow,
00:20:46.067 --> 00:20:48.669
We don't just feel better, we're stronger to better serve god.
00:20:48.669 --> 00:20:53.107
Throughout scripture, we learn how life is in the blood.
00:20:53.107 --> 00:20:56.510
Leviticus chapter 17 verse 11 tells us
00:20:56.510 --> 00:20:59.113
That the life of a creature is in the blood.
00:20:59.113 --> 00:21:02.116
Proverbs reminds us to guard your heart,
00:21:02.116 --> 00:21:05.419
For everything you do flows from it.
00:21:05.419 --> 00:21:08.489
Then he helps us guard our hearts, not just physically,
00:21:08.489 --> 00:21:11.425
But mentally and spiritually as well.
00:21:11.425 --> 00:21:13.961
Because when you improve your blood flow,
00:21:13.961 --> 00:21:16.197
You improve your quality of life and your service to god.
00:21:16.197 --> 00:21:20.134

You will not regret it coming up after the break,
00:22:03.878 --> 00:22:06.414
What does the bible say about knowing your enemy?
00:22:06.414 --> 00:22:10.284
We'll break it down next.
00:22:10.284 --> 00:22:15.998
We'll break it down next.
00:22:15.998 --> 00:22:18.494
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks,
00:22:19.362 --> 00:22:21.130
As we wrap up here.
00:22:21.130 --> 00:22:22.064
What a conversation earlier
00:22:22.064 --> 00:22:23.399
With brigitte gabriel breaking down the radical islamic enemy.
00:22:23.399 --> 00:22:27.537
You know, sun tzu.
00:22:27.537 --> 00:22:28.905
His first rule of war was to know your enemy.
00:22:28.905 --> 00:22:31.874
But let's get biblical.
00:22:31.874 --> 00:22:33.176
The book of ephesians, chapter six, verse 12 says,
00:22:33.176 --> 00:22:35.878
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,
00:22:35.878 --> 00:22:38.981
But against principalities, against powers,
00:22:38.981 --> 00:22:41.851
Against the rulers of the darkness of this age,
00:22:41.851 --> 00:22:44.587
Against spiritual hosts of wickedness
00:22:44.587 --> 00:22:47.190
In the heavenly places. folks, we are locked
00:22:47.190 --> 00:22:49.292
In a massive spiritual battle right now.
00:22:49.292 --> 00:22:52.495
Here's a good news god almighty is still on the throne.
00:22:52.495 --> 00:22:55.465
He will never leave us or forsake us.
00:22:55.465 --> 00:22:57.967
Keep the lord close
00:22:57.967 --> 00:22:59.735
Individually, and if we do that in america as well,
00:22:59.735 --> 00:23:02.305
We will be just fine.
00:23:02.305 --> 00:23:03.840
Hey, tomorrow
00:23:03.840 --> 00:23:04.907
We're making america healthy again with a big tree.
00:23:04.907 --> 00:23:08.010
Also, detransition
00:23:08.010 --> 00:23:10.346
Chloe cole is here to talk about her personal experience
00:23:10.346 --> 00:23:13.649
With the gender
00:23:13.649 --> 00:23:14.717
Madness cult folks, you will not want to miss that
00:23:14.717 --> 00:23:17.687
Until tomorrow.
00:23:17.687 --> 00:23:18.788
