Erick Stakelbeck: Assassination Plot Foiled | Stakelbeck Tonight
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: Assassination Plot Foiled | Stakelbeck Tonight | June 17, 2026
  • Welcome to
  • 00:00:03.426 --> 00:00:04.060
  • Stakelbeck tonight
  • 00:00:04.060 --> 00:00:05.195
  • I'm erick stakelbeck, and one of the distinguishing
  • 00:00:05.195 --> 00:00:08.298
  • Qualities of evil is that it's relentless.
  • 00:00:08.298 --> 00:00:12.635
  • We're seeing that on full display
  • 00:00:12.635 --> 00:00:14.237
  • Right now in the middle east,
  • 00:00:14.237 --> 00:00:15.505
  • Where iran's fanatical islamist regime and its terror proxies
  • 00:00:15.505 --> 00:00:19.943
  • Like hezbollah and hamas refused to surrender and disarm,
  • 00:00:19.943 --> 00:00:24.547
  • Despite being largely crushed militarily.
  • 00:00:24.547 --> 00:00:27.817
  • They live to murder, maim and spread chaos.
  • 00:00:27.817 --> 00:00:32.021
  • It's who they are, and it's what they do,
  • 00:00:32.021 --> 00:00:35.058
  • And they will never stop until they are completely crushed.
  • 00:00:35.058 --> 00:00:39.295
  • That's what evil does because it is demonically driven.
  • 00:00:39.295 --> 00:00:44.501
  • We're seeing the same kind of relentless evil here at home.
  • 00:00:44.501 --> 00:00:48.104
  • With the repeated attempts to assassinate president trump.
  • 00:00:48.104 --> 00:00:51.508
  • Over the weekend, we had yet another plot
  • 00:00:51.508 --> 00:00:53.910
  • To kill the president.
  • 00:00:53.910 --> 00:00:55.011
  • Foiled.
  • 00:00:55.011 --> 00:00:55.912
  • And folks, this may have been the most
  • 00:00:55.912 --> 00:00:57.714
  • Elaborate and disturbing one yet.
  • 00:00:57.714 --> 00:01:00.383
  • At least five people across four states have been arrested
  • 00:01:00.383 --> 00:01:04.554
  • For planning to attack last sunday's freedom 250 ufc
  • 00:01:04.554 --> 00:01:08.458
  • Event at the white house.
  • 00:01:08.458 --> 00:01:09.893
  • They wanted to murder trump administration officials,
  • 00:01:09.893 --> 00:01:12.896
  • Including the president, by attacking the white house
  • 00:01:12.896 --> 00:01:15.932
  • With explosives laden drones and then using sniper teams
  • 00:01:15.932 --> 00:01:20.870
  • Hidden outside to kill attendees who fled the scene.
  • 00:01:20.870 --> 00:01:24.974
  • The plotters had amassed weapons and tactical gear,
  • 00:01:24.974 --> 00:01:28.278
  • And their plan was at an advanced stage.
  • 00:01:28.278 --> 00:01:31.581
  • Thankfully, the mother of one of the
  • 00:01:31.581 --> 00:01:33.416
  • Ringleaders and 19 year old man from ohio tipped off a
  • 00:01:33.416 --> 00:01:37.987
  • Just a few days before the june 14th white house event.
  • 00:01:37.987 --> 00:01:41.591
  • Here's more from a former fbi special agent.
  • 00:01:41.591 --> 00:01:45.028
  • This is the new paradigm right here.
  • 00:01:45.028 --> 00:01:46.629
  • What you're talking about.
  • 00:01:46.629 --> 00:01:48.331
  • Drone mitigation is one of the fbi's top priorities.
  • 00:01:48.331 --> 00:01:51.634
  • We're actually teaching local law enforcement
  • 00:01:51.634 --> 00:01:54.504
  • How to handle those kind of things.
  • 00:01:54.504 --> 00:01:56.039
  • Now, we do have active countermeasures.
  • 00:01:56.039 --> 00:01:58.174
  • I won't get into the nuts and bolts because obviously
  • 00:01:58.174 --> 00:02:00.476
  • Those are tactics that we don't want to share.
  • 00:02:00.476 --> 00:02:03.112
  • But early warning is the big thing.
  • 00:02:03.112 --> 00:02:05.014
  • And lastly, the simplicity of this
  • 00:02:05.014 --> 00:02:08.251
  • Don't be don't be low to sleep by the simplicity.
  • 00:02:08.251 --> 00:02:11.921
  • A good plan violently executed.
  • 00:02:11.921 --> 00:02:14.257
  • This could have been horrible.
  • 00:02:14.257 --> 00:02:16.593
  • Folks, this is the stuff of nightmares.
  • 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.263
  • The president, leading cabinet members, congressional leaders
  • 00:02:20.263 --> 00:02:23.233
  • Were all on that white house lawn for the ufc event.
  • 00:02:23.233 --> 00:02:27.103
  • Let's continue to pray for god's hedge of protection
  • 00:02:27.103 --> 00:02:30.773
  • Around the president and his family and his team.
  • 00:02:30.773 --> 00:02:34.010
  • Now, this terrorist cell was deep into anti-government
  • 00:02:34.010 --> 00:02:37.547
  • Conspiracy theories, no doubt radicalized online.
  • 00:02:37.547 --> 00:02:41.251
  • And surprise, surprise, they hated jews and israel.
  • 00:02:41.251 --> 00:02:45.922
  • They even plan to target
  • 00:02:45.922 --> 00:02:47.390
  • Specific members of congress who support the jewish state.
  • 00:02:47.390 --> 00:02:51.561
  • Anti-semitism, the most relentless evil of them all,
  • 00:02:51.561 --> 00:02:55.298
  • Has now reached crisis levels, including here in america.
  • 00:02:55.298 --> 00:02:59.502
  • That's one reason it was so important
  • 00:02:59.502 --> 00:03:01.371
  • That the world leader in genocidal jew hatred.
  • 00:03:01.371 --> 00:03:04.707
  • Iran's regime was severely weakened by the u.s.
  • 00:03:04.707 --> 00:03:08.278
  • And israel during operation epic fury.
  • 00:03:08.278 --> 00:03:11.214
  • But now comes a potential peace
  • 00:03:11.214 --> 00:03:14.117
  • Deal and lots of questions about where things are heading.
  • 00:03:14.117 --> 00:03:18.187
  • On friday, the u.s.
  • 00:03:18.187 --> 00:03:19.522
  • And iran are set to sign a memorandum of understanding
  • 00:03:19.522 --> 00:03:22.592
  • In geneva that opens the strait of hormuz and pledges
  • 00:03:22.592 --> 00:03:26.596
  • Another 60 days of talks that could lead to a final deal.
  • 00:03:26.596 --> 00:03:31.267
  • Here was president
  • 00:03:31.267 --> 00:03:32.335
  • Trump earlier today at the g7 summit in france.
  • 00:03:32.335 --> 00:03:35.438
  • Who's really happy is the market,
  • 00:03:35.438 --> 00:03:37.507
  • Because the market's gone up
  • 00:03:37.507 --> 00:03:38.875
  • Thousands of points over the last 4
  • 00:03:38.875 --> 00:03:40.510
  • Or 5 days since hearing about it.
  • 00:03:40.510 --> 00:03:42.745
  • And the strait is going to be opening.
  • 00:03:42.745 --> 00:03:44.480
  • It's already partially opened.
  • 00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:45.748
  • It's going to be opening up soon in full over the next day
  • 00:03:45.748 --> 00:03:49.552
  • Or two.
  • 00:03:49.552 --> 00:03:50.820
  • And the market has gone wild and all has come tumbling down.
  • 00:03:50.820 --> 00:03:56.225
  • Well, is it 73, $74?
  • 00:03:56.225 --> 00:03:58.795
  • And it's getting to very close to where it was before
  • 00:03:58.795 --> 00:04:02.699
  • The crisis.
  • 00:04:02.699 --> 00:04:03.933
  • The difference is now we have iran without a nuclear weapon.
  • 00:04:03.933 --> 00:04:06.069
  • So we'll see how that all plays out.
  • 00:04:06.069 --> 00:04:09.272
  • I think people are going to be very happy.
  • 00:04:09.272 --> 00:04:11.641
  • But there's nothing so smart as the market and the market
  • 00:04:11.641 --> 00:04:15.411
  • Loves it.
  • 00:04:15.411 --> 00:04:17.513
  • The memorandum of understanding
  • 00:04:18.147 --> 00:04:19.615
  • Has not been released to the public yet,
  • 00:04:19.615 --> 00:04:21.417
  • But we have a pretty good idea of what's in it
  • 00:04:21.417 --> 00:04:24.153
  • And there are some serious concerns.
  • 00:04:24.153 --> 00:04:26.856
  • Josh hammer joins us next with a full breakdown.
  • 00:04:26.856 --> 00:04:29.759
  • And it all starts now.
  • 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:48.644
  • President trump has announced
  • 00:04:49.278 --> 00:04:50.747
  • What he calls a completed agreement with iran,
  • 00:04:50.747 --> 00:04:54.183
  • One that reopens the strait of hormuz, addresses
  • 00:04:54.183 --> 00:04:57.320
  • Tehran's nuclear program and potentially redraws
  • 00:04:57.320 --> 00:05:01.057
  • The strategic landscape of the region.
  • 00:05:01.057 --> 00:05:03.659
  • But what are the actual terms of the deal?
  • 00:05:03.659 --> 00:05:07.029
  • Because we know that the world's
  • 00:05:07.029 --> 00:05:08.798
  • Leading state sponsor of terrorism
  • 00:05:08.798 --> 00:05:10.933
  • Cannot be trusted to honor its commitments,
  • 00:05:10.933 --> 00:05:14.237
  • To help us break it all down,
  • 00:05:14.237 --> 00:05:15.438
  • We're joined now by our good friend,
  • 00:05:15.438 --> 00:05:17.039
  • Senior editor at large at newsweek,
  • 00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:18.775
  • Host of the josh hammer show and one of
  • 00:05:18.775 --> 00:05:21.077
  • The sharpest conservative voices in america today, josh hammer.
  • 00:05:21.077 --> 00:05:24.881
  • Josh, great to see you.
  • 00:05:24.881 --> 00:05:26.416
  • Hey, first impressions and again, the full text of the mou.
  • 00:05:26.416 --> 00:05:31.120
  • The memorandum of understanding has not been released yet,
  • 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.423
  • At least officially.
  • 00:05:33.423 --> 00:05:34.257
  • But we've seen things leaked online.
  • 00:05:34.257 --> 00:05:35.958
  • Josh, we have a pretty good sense of where it stands.
  • 00:05:35.958 --> 00:05:39.362
  • What's your sense early on here about this
  • 00:05:39.362 --> 00:05:43.232
  • Memorandum of understanding, which after 60 days, of course,
  • 00:05:43.232 --> 00:05:46.202
  • It may not even cross the finish
  • 00:05:46.202 --> 00:05:47.637
  • Line and become finalized, but early returns.
  • 00:05:47.637 --> 00:05:51.507
  • What are you thinking so far?
  • 00:05:51.507 --> 00:05:53.142
  • Well, with the gigantic caveat that we still need to wait
  • 00:05:53.142 --> 00:05:56.813
  • To hear from the administration itself,
  • 00:05:56.813 --> 00:05:58.815
  • We have seen leaks from lrb of the saudi network.
  • 00:05:58.815 --> 00:06:01.551
  • We've seen leaks from bloomberg.
  • 00:06:01.551 --> 00:06:03.519
  • The leaks look
  • 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:04.487
  • Very similar to one other, so they probably
  • 00:06:04.487 --> 00:06:05.788
  • Are close to the real deal.
  • 00:06:05.788 --> 00:06:07.156
  • But until we get to that real deal from the administration,
  • 00:06:07.156 --> 00:06:10.426
  • I reserve final comment, but with that
  • 00:06:10.426 --> 00:06:13.029
  • Somewhat large caveat, decide.
  • 00:06:13.029 --> 00:06:14.697
  • What i will say is that it looks very bad.
  • 00:06:14.697 --> 00:06:16.866
  • I'm not going to pull any punches here.
  • 00:06:16.866 --> 00:06:18.601
  • I'm not going to call it anything other than i see.
  • 00:06:18.601 --> 00:06:20.736
  • I think this is a very, very, very weak deal.
  • 00:06:20.736 --> 00:06:24.040
  • Contrary to what i've heard
  • 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:25.975
  • From the president and the vice president,
  • 00:06:25.975 --> 00:06:27.310
  • There is a clause, clause six, in the 14 point mou.
  • 00:06:27.310 --> 00:06:30.279
  • Again, based on what we've seen from bloomberg and lrb,
  • 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.815
  • There is a clause in here that includes a commitment
  • 00:06:32.815 --> 00:06:36.052
  • By the united states to work with other countries
  • 00:06:36.052 --> 00:06:38.454
  • To finance up to $300 billion, essentially in reparations
  • 00:06:38.454 --> 00:06:41.624
  • And reconstruction, to help rebuild
  • 00:06:41.624 --> 00:06:43.493
  • The world's largest state funder of terror.
  • 00:06:43.493 --> 00:06:45.561
  • It looks like iran, along with
  • 00:06:45.561 --> 00:06:46.963
  • Oman, is going to still have control over the 3 to 4 moves.
  • 00:06:46.963 --> 00:06:49.932
  • They'll be able to impose
  • 00:06:49.932 --> 00:06:51.133
  • Fees, tolls you want to call it, which is quite bad.
  • 00:06:51.133 --> 00:06:55.438
  • And there is also nothing in this mou
  • 00:06:55.438 --> 00:06:57.573
  • That i've seen leaped whatsoever when it comes to
  • 00:06:57.573 --> 00:06:59.942
  • A missile program similar to barack
  • 00:06:59.942 --> 00:07:01.477
  • Obama's 2015 deal that has been essentially
  • 00:07:01.477 --> 00:07:03.779
  • Just forgot about, even though it is a massive issue
  • 00:07:03.779 --> 00:07:07.550
  • On the nuclear issue itself, it's true
  • 00:07:07.550 --> 00:07:09.519
  • That we have 60 days to negotiate.
  • 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.621
  • I'm not entirely sure
  • 00:07:11.621 --> 00:07:12.755
  • Exactly why we now think that iran has changed its tune.
  • 00:07:12.755 --> 00:07:15.825
  • Whereas over the past 47 years they've been zealously pursuing
  • 00:07:15.825 --> 00:07:19.795
  • Nuclear weapons, i think i think we just candidly concede
  • 00:07:19.795 --> 00:07:23.032
  • This is a dramatic shifting
  • 00:07:23.032 --> 00:07:24.267
  • Of the goalposts of the actual goals of operation
  • 00:07:24.267 --> 00:07:27.303
  • Epic theory, as i understand them,
  • 00:07:27.303 --> 00:07:29.071
  • Which were all along one of the full reopening of the straight
  • 00:07:29.071 --> 00:07:33.042
  • To the ending of the regime's financing of its terror proxies
  • 00:07:33.042 --> 00:07:36.178
  • Throughout the region houthis, hezbollah, hamas, etc..
  • 00:07:36.178 --> 00:07:38.814
  • Three
  • 00:07:38.814 --> 00:07:39.882
  • The end of the ballistic missile and drone program
  • 00:07:39.882 --> 00:07:41.551
  • And four or above all, finally, once
  • 00:07:41.551 --> 00:07:43.386
  • And for all dealing with that nuclear issue,
  • 00:07:43.386 --> 00:07:45.655
  • That's simply not the case based on what we've seen.
  • 00:07:45.655 --> 00:07:47.590
  • Now, you can clarify,
  • 00:07:47.590 --> 00:07:49.392
  • Maybe this mou that we've seen from alabama
  • 00:07:49.392 --> 00:07:51.627
  • And bloomberg is totally not actually what's been reached.
  • 00:07:51.627 --> 00:07:54.897
  • I hope that's the case.
  • 00:07:54.897 --> 00:07:55.798
  • I'm not entirely sure, frankly, eric,
  • 00:07:55.798 --> 00:07:57.266
  • That it is the case there.
  • 00:07:57.266 --> 00:07:58.501
  • Perhaps the president felt
  • 00:07:58.501 --> 00:08:00.336
  • That this deal was necessary in the short term
  • 00:08:00.336 --> 00:08:02.171
  • When it comes to trying to get gas prices down
  • 00:08:02.171 --> 00:08:04.574
  • Midterm election.
  • 00:08:04.574 --> 00:08:05.942
  • But it's not a good deal based on what we've seen thus far.
  • 00:08:05.942 --> 00:08:09.478
  • But again, i await final word from the ministration.
  • 00:08:09.478 --> 00:08:11.814
  • Just great breakdown.
  • 00:08:11.814 --> 00:08:12.782
  • He was president trump, by the way.
  • 00:08:12.782 --> 00:08:14.216
  • Earlier today you mentioned that obama deal.
  • 00:08:14.216 --> 00:08:16.185
  • President trump
  • 00:08:16.185 --> 00:08:17.286
  • Tried to draw a distinction earlier today at the g7
  • 00:08:17.286 --> 00:08:20.056
  • Summit in france. take a listen.
  • 00:08:20.056 --> 00:08:22.058
  • This is the text of the agreement
  • 00:08:22.058 --> 00:08:23.826
  • Now final or are you still. no, it's not final.
  • 00:08:23.826 --> 00:08:26.395
  • It's a memorandum of understanding.
  • 00:08:26.395 --> 00:08:28.197
  • And if i don't like it, we'll go back
  • 00:08:28.197 --> 00:08:30.633
  • To shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head.
  • 00:08:30.633 --> 00:08:34.470
  • You expect the word. if i don't like it?
  • 00:08:34.470 --> 00:08:36.672
  • If they don't behave,
  • 00:08:36.672 --> 00:08:38.507
  • We'll go right back to dropping bombs right
  • 00:08:38.507 --> 00:08:40.977
  • Smack in the middle of their head, okay?
  • 00:08:40.977 --> 00:08:43.746
  • Because they misbehaved for 47 years.
  • 00:08:43.746 --> 00:08:47.350
  • All right.
  • 00:08:47.650 --> 00:08:48.818
  • Does it include. but nobody could have made this deal.
  • 00:08:48.818 --> 00:08:51.153
  • I mean, the jcpoa done by obama.
  • 00:08:51.153 --> 00:08:55.057
  • He handed him a billion, seven in cash, gave them
  • 00:08:55.057 --> 00:08:58.027
  • Hundreds of millions of dollars, hundreds of gave them billions
  • 00:08:58.027 --> 00:09:01.864
  • And billions of dollars.
  • 00:09:01.864 --> 00:09:02.999
  • But he gave them $1.7 billion in cash, green cash
  • 00:09:02.999 --> 00:09:08.137
  • From banks into a boeing 757
  • 00:09:08.137 --> 00:09:11.474
  • And flew it into iran.
  • 00:09:11.474 --> 00:09:15.444
  • Josh, all true about the disastrous obama deal,
  • 00:09:16.345 --> 00:09:19.281
  • But we're hearing reports there may be some,
  • 00:09:19.281 --> 00:09:21.517
  • Maybe not straight from the united states,
  • 00:09:21.517 --> 00:09:23.452
  • But aid billions flowing into the regime
  • 00:09:23.452 --> 00:09:27.323
  • Under the current deal as well. what do you know about that?
  • 00:09:27.323 --> 00:09:29.959
  • Right.
  • 00:09:29.959 --> 00:09:30.860
  • So again, according to the leaked text
  • 00:09:30.860 --> 00:09:31.961
  • We've seen from bloomberg and lrb,
  • 00:09:31.961 --> 00:09:34.096
  • There are immediate sanction reliefs
  • 00:09:34.096 --> 00:09:36.732
  • When it comes to the oil sanctions.
  • 00:09:36.732 --> 00:09:38.534
  • The naval blockade
  • 00:09:38.534 --> 00:09:39.368
  • From the united states will go away,
  • 00:09:39.368 --> 00:09:40.736
  • Which means that iran can
  • 00:09:40.736 --> 00:09:41.837
  • Can start shipping its oil again tomorrow.
  • 00:09:41.837 --> 00:09:43.773
  • By the way, that naval blockade has been arguably america
  • 00:09:43.773 --> 00:09:47.109
  • Single greatest point of leverage
  • 00:09:47.109 --> 00:09:48.511
  • Over the entirety of the past
  • 00:09:48.511 --> 00:09:50.212
  • 2 or 3 months has been extraordinarily successful.
  • 00:09:50.212 --> 00:09:52.348
  • It looks like a lot of iranian funds
  • 00:09:52.348 --> 00:09:53.983
  • In foreign institutions that were previously frozen
  • 00:09:53.983 --> 00:09:56.352
  • In places like china, hong kong, dubai, doha, etc.
  • 00:09:56.352 --> 00:09:59.989
  • Those funds will be unfrozen based on what i can tell,
  • 00:09:59.989 --> 00:10:02.625
  • And that's a very arduous process
  • 00:10:02.625 --> 00:10:04.493
  • To get them frozen once they are unfrozen.
  • 00:10:04.493 --> 00:10:06.896
  • And above all, this, this massive $300 billion number
  • 00:10:06.896 --> 00:10:11.400
  • That is right there in the text of the leaked
  • 00:10:11.400 --> 00:10:13.703
  • Point number six and the 14 points mou.
  • 00:10:13.703 --> 00:10:15.905
  • Again,
  • 00:10:15.905 --> 00:10:16.372
  • If that's not true
  • 00:10:16.372 --> 00:10:17.139
  • And the president says it's not true,
  • 00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:18.441
  • Then why is it currently
  • 00:10:18.441 --> 00:10:19.508
  • In the text that i have seen
  • 00:10:19.508 --> 00:10:21.077
  • And that hundreds of millions of people have seen as well?
  • 00:10:21.077 --> 00:10:23.312
  • I hope the administration clarifies
  • 00:10:23.312 --> 00:10:24.714
  • That that is not the case there, but based on what i can,
  • 00:10:24.714 --> 00:10:26.816
  • I can see.
  • 00:10:26.816 --> 00:10:27.316
  • Eric,
  • 00:10:27.316 --> 00:10:28.417
  • I am happy to report that it does look quite a bit
  • 00:10:28.417 --> 00:10:30.653
  • Similar to the barack obama nuclear deal
  • 00:10:30.653 --> 00:10:32.621
  • That donald trump correctly withdrew us from back in 2018.
  • 00:10:32.621 --> 00:10:35.558
  • Yeah. josh great breakdown.
  • 00:10:35.558 --> 00:10:36.959
  • Josh hammer after the break.
  • 00:10:36.959 --> 00:10:38.194
  • What the vice president vance say about this deal.
  • 00:10:38.194 --> 00:10:40.863
  • He's been called the architect of this iran deal.
  • 00:10:40.863 --> 00:10:43.099
  • More with josh after the break. stick around.
  • 00:10:43.099 --> 00:10:48.004
  • More with josh after the break. stick around.
  • 00:10:48.004 --> 00:10:50.943
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:10:51.710 --> 00:10:53.078
  • We're talking to josh hammer, author,
  • 00:10:53.078 --> 00:10:54.713
  • By the way of a great book called israel and civilization.
  • 00:10:54.713 --> 00:10:57.683
  • Folks.
  • 00:10:57.683 --> 00:10:58.283
  • You can pick it up right
  • 00:10:58.283 --> 00:10:59.218
  • Now, amazon.com, wherever books are sold.
  • 00:10:59.218 --> 00:11:00.986
  • Of course, he's host of the josh hammer show.
  • 00:11:00.986 --> 00:11:02.788
  • Follow him on x and across social media.
  • 00:11:02.788 --> 00:11:05.924
  • Josh, vice president vance has been called
  • 00:11:05.924 --> 00:11:07.826
  • The architect of this iran deal, of course,
  • 00:11:07.826 --> 00:11:09.828
  • Along with jared kushner and steve wycoff.
  • 00:11:09.828 --> 00:11:11.897
  • The president's middle east advisors are envoys.
  • 00:11:11.897 --> 00:11:15.534
  • Vance yesterday
  • 00:11:15.534 --> 00:11:16.401
  • Made some very interesting comments
  • 00:11:16.401 --> 00:11:17.870
  • Or actually was on monday with jake tapper on cnn.
  • 00:11:17.870 --> 00:11:21.173
  • Kind of made me scratch my head a bit.
  • 00:11:21.173 --> 00:11:23.275
  • Take a listen.
  • 00:11:23.275 --> 00:11:24.476
  • For 47 years, this country has been a thorn in our side.
  • 00:11:24.476 --> 00:11:28.413
  • It's been kind of a basket case
  • 00:11:28.413 --> 00:11:29.882
  • For democrats and republican administrations.
  • 00:11:29.882 --> 00:11:32.518
  • The coolest thing about the progress
  • 00:11:32.518 --> 00:11:34.620
  • We've made over the last few weeks
  • 00:11:34.620 --> 00:11:36.155
  • Is that you see people within the iranian system,
  • 00:11:36.155 --> 00:11:38.957
  • Senior leadership, even irgc officials say, you know what?
  • 00:11:38.957 --> 00:11:42.361
  • We may have some animosity,
  • 00:11:42.361 --> 00:11:43.829
  • We may have some mistrust, but we recognize the way
  • 00:11:43.829 --> 00:11:46.799
  • That we've done business
  • 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:47.900
  • With the united states for 47 years is a mistake.
  • 00:11:47.900 --> 00:11:50.469
  • Let's try something else.
  • 00:11:50.469 --> 00:11:51.937
  • We're going to verify that,
  • 00:11:51.937 --> 00:11:53.038
  • Of course, but we're certainly certainly
  • 00:11:53.038 --> 00:11:54.873
  • Willing to try something else if they comply.
  • 00:11:54.873 --> 00:11:58.944
  • Josh, i hate to say it,
  • 00:11:59.444 --> 00:12:00.579
  • We heard the same
  • 00:12:00.579 --> 00:12:01.814
  • Kind of rhetoric under obama when john kerry was secretary
  • 00:12:01.814 --> 00:12:05.517
  • Of state, saying, look,
  • 00:12:05.517 --> 00:12:06.318
  • We're giving the regime an opportunity
  • 00:12:06.318 --> 00:12:08.187
  • To join the community of nations to moderate their behavior.
  • 00:12:08.187 --> 00:12:11.857
  • It didn't happen 11 years ago.
  • 00:12:11.857 --> 00:12:13.559
  • Clearly, when that deal was struck.
  • 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:14.960
  • And i don't think it's going to happen anytime soon.
  • 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:16.995
  • What were your thoughts
  • 00:12:16.995 --> 00:12:17.896
  • On those comments by the vice president?
  • 00:12:17.896 --> 00:12:19.164
  • Is this kind of
  • 00:12:19.164 --> 00:12:20.265
  • A misunderstanding of the nature of the iranian regime?
  • 00:12:20.265 --> 00:12:23.535
  • Yeah, i think that's exactly what it is.
  • 00:12:23.535 --> 00:12:24.903
  • It's frankly crazy to hear this coming
  • 00:12:24.903 --> 00:12:26.538
  • From the vice president of the united states.
  • 00:12:26.538 --> 00:12:28.073
  • And they're definitely
  • 00:12:28.073 --> 00:12:28.974
  • Is a divide within the administration.
  • 00:12:28.974 --> 00:12:30.275
  • You have the vice presidents, along with steve and jared
  • 00:12:30.275 --> 00:12:34.012
  • Kushner, seemingly on one hand, versus on the other hand,
  • 00:12:34.012 --> 00:12:36.348
  • You have marco rubio, john ratcliffe, the cia, and pete,
  • 00:12:36.348 --> 00:12:39.751
  • All of whom were known to internally oppose this deal.
  • 00:12:39.751 --> 00:12:43.222
  • John ratcliffe,
  • 00:12:43.222 --> 00:12:44.156
  • Who is literally the director of the cia,
  • 00:12:44.156 --> 00:12:45.757
  • He would know a thing or two about foreign intelligence.
  • 00:12:45.757 --> 00:12:48.493
  • He apparently told the president
  • 00:12:48.493 --> 00:12:50.896
  • That based on past performance, we have no expectation
  • 00:12:50.896 --> 00:12:54.600
  • That iran will actually stand by the word
  • 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:56.602
  • When it comes to future commitments,
  • 00:12:56.602 --> 00:12:57.870
  • When it comes to their nuclear program or anything at all.
  • 00:12:57.870 --> 00:13:00.505
  • I have no idea where he would come to that conclusion.
  • 00:13:00.505 --> 00:13:02.474
  • Eric.
  • 00:13:02.474 --> 00:13:02.908
  • It's not like
  • 00:13:02.908 --> 00:13:03.909
  • Iran has cheated on every single other group
  • 00:13:03.909 --> 00:13:05.043
  • That they've signed for the past 50 years, give or take.
  • 00:13:05.043 --> 00:13:07.779
  • I think the fundamental error
  • 00:13:07.779 --> 00:13:09.014
  • That vice president vance is making
  • 00:13:09.014 --> 00:13:10.415
  • Is that he is taking in face value with some of the forward
  • 00:13:10.415 --> 00:13:15.220
  • Facing suits, or telling him, the political frontman,
  • 00:13:15.220 --> 00:13:18.657
  • Essentially who the regime is, is putting out there
  • 00:13:18.657 --> 00:13:21.293
  • In order to try to dupe gullible westerners.
  • 00:13:21.293 --> 00:13:23.428
  • But in reality, when it comes to the islamic republic,
  • 00:13:23.428 --> 00:13:26.031
  • It's it's the clarity.
  • 00:13:26.031 --> 00:13:27.332
  • It's the mullahs, the so-called ayatollah above all,
  • 00:13:27.332 --> 00:13:30.535
  • Who actually call all the shots.
  • 00:13:30.535 --> 00:13:32.104
  • Everything else is
  • 00:13:32.104 --> 00:13:33.372
  • Basically some sort of potemkin leadership, all in service of
  • 00:13:33.372 --> 00:13:36.842
  • The sharia concept
  • 00:13:36.842 --> 00:13:37.943
  • Known as takeya, which is taken particularly seriously
  • 00:13:37.943 --> 00:13:40.512
  • By shiite islam, which iran practices.
  • 00:13:40.512 --> 00:13:42.814
  • Takeya.
  • 00:13:42.814 --> 00:13:43.749
  • Basically, the notion that you can conceal
  • 00:13:43.749 --> 00:13:44.783
  • Your true motives in order to try to spread jihad
  • 00:13:44.783 --> 00:13:47.452
  • Or some other goal of sharia supremacist.
  • 00:13:47.452 --> 00:13:49.955
  • All of this is right out of the iranian playbook,
  • 00:13:49.955 --> 00:13:51.924
  • And it's somewhat harrowing
  • 00:13:51.924 --> 00:13:53.525
  • As you as you correctly point out,
  • 00:13:53.525 --> 00:13:55.460
  • To look at donald trump's vice president
  • 00:13:55.460 --> 00:13:57.362
  • Saying a lot of things that we would have expected
  • 00:13:57.362 --> 00:13:59.464
  • From john kerry or ben rhodes circa 2015. yeah.
  • 00:13:59.464 --> 00:14:02.301
  • Josh, one of the things about the deal
  • 00:14:02.301 --> 00:14:03.902
  • Or what we've seen reported about the deal
  • 00:14:03.902 --> 00:14:05.871
  • That really troubles me is the linkage
  • 00:14:05.871 --> 00:14:08.040
  • That's been drawn between lebanon
  • 00:14:08.040 --> 00:14:09.875
  • And the hezbollah front and iran.
  • 00:14:09.875 --> 00:14:12.177
  • It seems the iranian regime
  • 00:14:12.177 --> 00:14:13.345
  • Has successfully linked the two in this deal.
  • 00:14:13.345 --> 00:14:16.281
  • And there's an effort here to tie israel's
  • 00:14:16.281 --> 00:14:18.016
  • Hands in terms of confronting hezbollah
  • 00:14:18.016 --> 00:14:20.352
  • And responding to hezbollah provocations.
  • 00:14:20.352 --> 00:14:24.122
  • The lebanon theater, where does that go from here?
  • 00:14:24.122 --> 00:14:27.192
  • President trump doesn't
  • 00:14:27.192 --> 00:14:28.126
  • Want it to jeopardize the larger iran deal.
  • 00:14:28.126 --> 00:14:30.162
  • He said. so yesterday, the g7.
  • 00:14:30.162 --> 00:14:32.030
  • But man, oh, man, hezbollah, at the behest of its masters
  • 00:14:32.030 --> 00:14:35.334
  • In iran, by the way,
  • 00:14:35.334 --> 00:14:36.535
  • Continues to fire at israel on a daily basis.
  • 00:14:36.535 --> 00:14:40.072
  • Well, it's worth noting that
  • 00:14:40.072 --> 00:14:43.275
  • I think it's worth noting i was there
  • 00:14:43.275 --> 00:14:44.776
  • I was actually just in israel a couple of weeks ago.
  • 00:14:44.776 --> 00:14:46.345
  • I got back from yet another trip over there.
  • 00:14:46.345 --> 00:14:48.213
  • I had a wonderful time leading this young delegation
  • 00:14:48.213 --> 00:14:50.349
  • Of christian conservative
  • 00:14:50.349 --> 00:14:51.383
  • Journalists, and we're spending time
  • 00:14:51.383 --> 00:14:53.218
  • In the sea of galilee, in the israeli north.
  • 00:14:53.218 --> 00:14:55.187
  • And we actually had to run to the
  • 00:14:55.187 --> 00:14:56.989
  • To the bomb shelter at roughly 2 a.m.
  • 00:14:56.989 --> 00:14:58.991
  • Overnight because hezbollah was firing down rockets and drones
  • 00:14:58.991 --> 00:15:02.961
  • There into northern israel.
  • 00:15:02.961 --> 00:15:04.162
  • So that front is not quiet very, very, very far from quiet.
  • 00:15:04.162 --> 00:15:08.333
  • And the interesting thing here is that the official lebanese
  • 00:15:08.333 --> 00:15:11.937
  • Government, which is run by a christian man,
  • 00:15:11.937 --> 00:15:13.605
  • Yosef ion, he's a christian, a catholic based in beirut,
  • 00:15:13.605 --> 00:15:17.275
  • The joint position
  • 00:15:17.275 --> 00:15:18.443
  • Of the israeli government
  • 00:15:18.443 --> 00:15:19.711
  • And the official lebanese government
  • 00:15:19.711 --> 00:15:21.279
  • Is that hezbollah has to go because hezbollah is
  • 00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:23.882
  • An iranian terrorist organization.
  • 00:15:23.882 --> 00:15:25.784
  • They're not loyal to lebanon.
  • 00:15:25.784 --> 00:15:27.019
  • They're actually loyal to iran.
  • 00:15:27.019 --> 00:15:28.754
  • On the contrary, they actually assassinated
  • 00:15:28.754 --> 00:15:30.188
  • The prime minister of lebanon back in 2005.
  • 00:15:30.188 --> 00:15:32.257
  • So, yosef, i used to his great credit.
  • 00:15:32.257 --> 00:15:34.826
  • The current president, lebanon has called
  • 00:15:34.826 --> 00:15:36.561
  • Hezbollah cancer that needs to be eradicated.
  • 00:15:36.561 --> 00:15:38.897
  • So the the thing to do
  • 00:15:38.897 --> 00:15:40.999
  • For the united states, in theory,
  • 00:15:40.999 --> 00:15:42.401
  • Would be to let israel work
  • 00:15:42.401 --> 00:15:44.436
  • With the official lebanese government,
  • 00:15:44.436 --> 00:15:45.904
  • No matter how inert or inept it may or may not be,
  • 00:15:45.904 --> 00:15:48.940
  • To try to eradicate this hezbollah cancer,
  • 00:15:48.940 --> 00:15:51.376
  • The same hezbollah cancer, by the way,
  • 00:15:51.376 --> 00:15:52.911
  • That has mountains of american blood on his hands.
  • 00:15:52.911 --> 00:15:56.081
  • With the exception of al
  • 00:15:56.081 --> 00:15:57.349
  • And nine over 11, there's probably no terrorist
  • 00:15:57.349 --> 00:15:59.017
  • Organization has more american blood on their hands
  • 00:15:59.017 --> 00:16:01.453
  • Than hezbollah, given
  • 00:16:01.453 --> 00:16:02.454
  • The fact they were the orchestrators of 1983
  • 00:16:02.454 --> 00:16:05.057
  • Beirut barracks bombings
  • 00:16:05.057 --> 00:16:06.324
  • And the us embassy attack that same year.
  • 00:16:06.324 --> 00:16:08.060
  • So that would have been the better course of action.
  • 00:16:08.060 --> 00:16:09.628
  • For what it's worth, eric,
  • 00:16:09.628 --> 00:16:10.762
  • If i'm just guessing here, i don't think israel will
  • 00:16:10.762 --> 00:16:13.298
  • Will feel bound by this deal.
  • 00:16:13.298 --> 00:16:15.100
  • They were not party to this deal.
  • 00:16:15.100 --> 00:16:16.468
  • I don't think they've even seen text of the deal yet.
  • 00:16:16.468 --> 00:16:18.603
  • In contrast, by the way,
  • 00:16:18.603 --> 00:16:19.704
  • To qatar and pakistan, which would have seen the text,
  • 00:16:19.704 --> 00:16:21.973
  • Which is a little confusing in and of itself,
  • 00:16:21.973 --> 00:16:23.942
  • I don't think i will feel bad.
  • 00:16:23.942 --> 00:16:25.310
  • I think that he will do
  • 00:16:25.310 --> 00:16:26.244
  • Ultimately what israel has to do to defend
  • 00:16:26.244 --> 00:16:27.779
  • Itself. israel is a sovereign nation
  • 00:16:27.779 --> 00:16:29.981
  • That must control its own destiny.
  • 00:16:29.981 --> 00:16:32.117
  • More with josh hammer after the break.
  • 00:16:32.117 --> 00:16:33.618
  • We talked earlier in the show
  • 00:16:33.618 --> 00:16:35.053
  • About that terror plot at the white house ufc
  • 00:16:35.053 --> 00:16:38.190
  • Event to assassinate the president
  • 00:16:38.190 --> 00:16:39.758
  • And administration officials driven by an anti-semitic cell.
  • 00:16:39.758 --> 00:16:43.395
  • We'll talk to josh hymer about that for the break.
  • 00:16:43.395 --> 00:16:45.997
  • Don't move.
  • 00:16:45.997 --> 00:16:48.011
  • Don't move.
  • 00:16:48.011 --> 00:16:51.471
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:16:52.238 --> 00:16:53.506
  • We're talking our good friend josh hammer,
  • 00:16:53.506 --> 00:16:54.974
  • Host of the josh hammer show, author of israel
  • 00:16:54.974 --> 00:16:57.577
  • And civilization following right now and across social media.
  • 00:16:57.577 --> 00:17:00.980
  • Josh, this plot,
  • 00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:02.148
  • We're hearing more details about it now over the weekend.
  • 00:17:02.148 --> 00:17:04.083
  • Obviously, the big ufc freedom 250
  • 00:17:04.083 --> 00:17:06.252
  • Event at the white house, the president and his cabinet,
  • 00:17:06.252 --> 00:17:08.855
  • Leading members of congress
  • 00:17:08.855 --> 00:17:10.223
  • All attending, and this terror cell.
  • 00:17:10.223 --> 00:17:12.892
  • I think that's the best way to describe them.
  • 00:17:12.892 --> 00:17:15.027
  • Dozens of people, apparently
  • 00:17:15.027 --> 00:17:16.395
  • Now only five arrested thus far, but across four states,
  • 00:17:16.395 --> 00:17:20.199
  • Essentially plotted
  • 00:17:20.199 --> 00:17:21.267
  • To attack the white house, attack
  • 00:17:21.267 --> 00:17:22.835
  • This event with drones and snipers
  • 00:17:22.835 --> 00:17:25.471
  • And surprise, surprise, driven by anti-government
  • 00:17:25.471 --> 00:17:28.841
  • And anti-semitic conspiracy theories.
  • 00:17:28.841 --> 00:17:31.878
  • I think it's very telling that these plotters
  • 00:17:31.878 --> 00:17:36.349
  • Were driven in part, at least according to reports by jew
  • 00:17:36.349 --> 00:17:40.319
  • Hatred and anti-israel sentiment,
  • 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.255
  • The kind we've seen explode across college campuses
  • 00:17:42.255 --> 00:17:45.358
  • And beyond in america since october 7th. yeah.
  • 00:17:45.358 --> 00:17:47.627
  • Unfortunately, it seems to be very similar
  • 00:17:47.627 --> 00:17:49.395
  • To the kind of motivation that that led
  • 00:17:49.395 --> 00:17:52.465
  • To the assassination of the two israeli
  • 00:17:52.465 --> 00:17:54.100
  • Embassy staffers in washington, dc, last may.
  • 00:17:54.100 --> 00:17:57.737
  • This notion that that that all things israel related
  • 00:17:57.737 --> 00:18:01.240
  • Are posing a unique, genocidal central threat and therefore
  • 00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:05.311
  • Violence is a solution.
  • 00:18:05.311 --> 00:18:06.546
  • I know, by the way,
  • 00:18:06.546 --> 00:18:08.080
  • That if you if you look at what
  • 00:18:08.080 --> 00:18:09.115
  • One of the plotters of this terrorist attack said,
  • 00:18:09.115 --> 00:18:12.118
  • You referred to politicians getting money from apac.
  • 00:18:12.118 --> 00:18:14.954
  • Aipac is this boogeyman.
  • 00:18:14.954 --> 00:18:17.523
  • It's a boogeyman that is not properly understood.
  • 00:18:17.523 --> 00:18:20.693
  • People say that. it's that it's an israeli organization.
  • 00:18:20.693 --> 00:18:23.095
  • They say that's registered under fara.
  • 00:18:23.095 --> 00:18:25.097
  • Actually, no,
  • 00:18:25.097 --> 00:18:26.332
  • It's just a bunch of americans who happen to care about this
  • 00:18:26.332 --> 00:18:28.201
  • Particular relationship, much like kufi,
  • 00:18:28.201 --> 00:18:30.403
  • Much like any number of other organizations, ironically, also,
  • 00:18:30.403 --> 00:18:34.507
  • For a lot of very conservative zionists like myself,
  • 00:18:34.507 --> 00:18:37.643
  • I'm actually not a particularly big fan of apac. actually,
  • 00:18:37.643 --> 00:18:40.713
  • As someone of a
  • 00:18:41.080 --> 00:18:42.215
  • Moderate centrist organization, historically,
  • 00:18:42.215 --> 00:18:44.083
  • I have any number of more arcane criticisms.
  • 00:18:44.083 --> 00:18:46.185
  • So i say all that because you look at the situation, eric,
  • 00:18:46.185 --> 00:18:49.622
  • Where the left wing rhetoric, the the toxic left
  • 00:18:49.622 --> 00:18:53.059
  • Wing intersectional mentality is notion that jews are uniquely
  • 00:18:53.059 --> 00:18:56.429
  • Pernicious force
  • 00:18:56.429 --> 00:18:57.396
  • Has led them to think
  • 00:18:57.396 --> 00:18:58.631
  • That a moderate, centrist, run of the mill pro-israel pac
  • 00:18:58.631 --> 00:19:03.202
  • Is so existential
  • 00:19:03.202 --> 00:19:04.637
  • Threat to america that they're willing
  • 00:19:04.637 --> 00:19:06.272
  • To try to kill people over it.
  • 00:19:06.272 --> 00:19:08.374
  • It's just a sick, sick place.
  • 00:19:08.374 --> 00:19:10.743
  • And of course, it was not just that.
  • 00:19:10.743 --> 00:19:12.945
  • They also said they were trying to kill,
  • 00:19:12.945 --> 00:19:14.180
  • Quote unquote, capitalist elites and billionaires.
  • 00:19:14.180 --> 00:19:17.116
  • It's something very similar in this case to to mangini,
  • 00:19:17.116 --> 00:19:20.987
  • Who is the horrific
  • 00:19:20.987 --> 00:19:22.154
  • Assassin of brian thompson, the united healthcare ceo.
  • 00:19:22.154 --> 00:19:25.024
  • And it's part of a broader political violence problem,
  • 00:19:25.024 --> 00:19:27.960
  • Which is unfortunately,
  • 00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:28.995
  • These days, uniquely to the american left,
  • 00:19:28.995 --> 00:19:30.630
  • This is not an all sides or equal problem.
  • 00:19:30.630 --> 00:19:32.898
  • There is no equivalent faction people on the right,
  • 00:19:32.898 --> 00:19:36.535
  • On the so-called far right, or really anywhere
  • 00:19:36.535 --> 00:19:38.704
  • Who are willing and eager
  • 00:19:38.704 --> 00:19:40.239
  • To take up arms in the name of trying to
  • 00:19:40.239 --> 00:19:42.742
  • To inflict violence, to achieve political ends.
  • 00:19:42.742 --> 00:19:44.910
  • This is a unique problem on the left.
  • 00:19:44.910 --> 00:19:46.679
  • And i've been saying on my show for for years now,
  • 00:19:46.679 --> 00:19:49.282
  • Where are the statesmen
  • 00:19:49.282 --> 00:19:50.816
  • On the left in the democratic party willing
  • 00:19:50.816 --> 00:19:52.618
  • To say that this is here, there and everywhere wrong?
  • 00:19:52.618 --> 00:19:55.121
  • Because ultimately, eric,
  • 00:19:55.121 --> 00:19:56.255
  • This nation celebrates its 253 in a few weeks.
  • 00:19:56.255 --> 00:19:59.392
  • And benjamin franklin famously said that he
  • 00:19:59.392 --> 00:20:02.695
  • That we are giving to you, the people,
  • 00:20:02.695 --> 00:20:04.597
  • You're public if you can keep it.
  • 00:20:04.597 --> 00:20:05.898
  • If there is one thing that poses a long term
  • 00:20:05.898 --> 00:20:08.634
  • Existential threat
  • 00:20:08.634 --> 00:20:09.602
  • To the integrity of the american republic,
  • 00:20:09.602 --> 00:20:11.470
  • I think that is political violence.
  • 00:20:11.470 --> 00:20:12.905
  • Yeah. josh, well said.
  • 00:20:12.905 --> 00:20:13.973
  • And this, by the way,
  • 00:20:13.973 --> 00:20:15.141
  • This anti-semitic madness does not happen in a vacuum.
  • 00:20:15.141 --> 00:20:18.577
  • Right.
  • 00:20:18.577 --> 00:20:19.412
  • You've been very critical of these
  • 00:20:19.412 --> 00:20:20.446
  • Anti-semitic podcasters we've seen really gained
  • 00:20:20.446 --> 00:20:22.948
  • Popularity, especially among young men.
  • 00:20:22.948 --> 00:20:25.184
  • Can you talk a bit more about that, josh,
  • 00:20:25.184 --> 00:20:26.919
  • The pernicious influence of many in the social media space,
  • 00:20:26.919 --> 00:20:30.623
  • Leading podcasters who have made it
  • 00:20:30.623 --> 00:20:32.992
  • Their daily mission to attack jews and the jewish state?
  • 00:20:32.992 --> 00:20:37.129
  • Yeah, sure.
  • 00:20:37.463 --> 00:20:38.564
  • So tucker carlson is, i would say, the single leader
  • 00:20:38.564 --> 00:20:40.733
  • Of this particularly irksome faction when he has many allies.
  • 00:20:40.733 --> 00:20:43.903
  • Megan kelly unfortunately, now
  • 00:20:43.903 --> 00:20:45.705
  • Candace owens has been off the deep end for for years now.
  • 00:20:45.705 --> 00:20:49.642
  • And seemingly to these people, all all theories ends
  • 00:20:49.642 --> 00:20:53.346
  • In one location, which is the jews.
  • 00:20:53.346 --> 00:20:55.548
  • It's part of this broader mind virus is brain rock
  • 00:20:55.548 --> 00:20:58.751
  • That is spreading like wildfire, not just through wide
  • 00:20:58.751 --> 00:21:02.922
  • Swaths of the left, but increasingly through
  • 00:21:02.922 --> 00:21:04.657
  • Some swaths
  • 00:21:04.657 --> 00:21:05.391
  • Not large,
  • 00:21:05.391 --> 00:21:06.459
  • But some swaths of the very online, very, very young.
  • 00:21:06.459 --> 00:21:09.061
  • Right. it's a cancer, eric.
  • 00:21:09.061 --> 00:21:10.596
  • It's ultimately a cancer because jew hatred is ultimately
  • 00:21:10.596 --> 00:21:14.333
  • Never about the jews. really.
  • 00:21:14.333 --> 00:21:15.534
  • It's not ultimately is a symptom of a broader societal malaise.
  • 00:21:15.534 --> 00:21:19.238
  • When there's something that is going wrong in society,
  • 00:21:19.238 --> 00:21:21.774
  • It is the original scapegoat,
  • 00:21:21.774 --> 00:21:24.143
  • The jewish people who bear the brunt of that.
  • 00:21:24.143 --> 00:21:25.845
  • But it never ends with the jews here, there and everywhere.
  • 00:21:25.845 --> 00:21:28.748
  • Eric, when a society starts to turn on its jewish population
  • 00:21:28.748 --> 00:21:31.450
  • And that society
  • 00:21:31.450 --> 00:21:32.651
  • Starts to go down the drain, and as an american patriot,
  • 00:21:32.651 --> 00:21:35.254
  • I pray that it never happens to my country.
  • 00:21:35.254 --> 00:21:37.123
  • Amen.
  • 00:21:37.123 --> 00:21:37.790
  • And joshua wrote about this
  • 00:21:37.790 --> 00:21:38.791
  • In your great book, israel and civilization.
  • 00:21:38.791 --> 00:21:40.025
  • By the way, these very themes.
  • 00:21:40.025 --> 00:21:41.260
  • Hey, about 30s left real quick.
  • 00:21:41.260 --> 00:21:43.362
  • Josh, before we let you go, odds of this deal
  • 00:21:43.362 --> 00:21:46.399
  • With iran being finalized after 60 days, does it collapse?
  • 00:21:46.399 --> 00:21:50.403
  • Does it go through early odds in your view?
  • 00:21:50.403 --> 00:21:54.240
  • It's a great question.
  • 00:21:54.707 --> 00:21:55.474
  • I don't know, it's a short answer.
  • 00:21:55.474 --> 00:21:57.943
  • My best guess is that if this is a 60 day
  • 00:21:57.943 --> 00:21:59.879
  • Can kicking measure,
  • 00:21:59.879 --> 00:22:01.313
  • My best guess is that there will be
  • 00:22:01.313 --> 00:22:02.415
  • Some sort of additional can kicking measure,
  • 00:22:02.415 --> 00:22:04.383
  • Probably to hold it over to the midterms
  • 00:22:04.383 --> 00:22:05.885
  • Just to get us politically,
  • 00:22:05.885 --> 00:22:06.752
  • Conveniently through the midterms.
  • 00:22:06.752 --> 00:22:08.421
  • After that, i do predict that it'll be a debacle,
  • 00:22:08.421 --> 00:22:11.056
  • Because ultimately
  • 00:22:11.056 --> 00:22:11.857
  • The regime in iran has not changed
  • 00:22:11.857 --> 00:22:13.192
  • And they are not willing to negotiate on our terms.
  • 00:22:13.192 --> 00:22:15.628
  • Josh, well said. i agree with you completely my friend.
  • 00:22:15.628 --> 00:22:18.164
  • Folks. again, farm x across social media.
  • 00:22:18.164 --> 00:22:20.199
  • Check them out on the josh hammer show.
  • 00:22:20.199 --> 00:22:21.500
  • Pick up israel and civilization.
  • 00:22:21.500 --> 00:22:23.135
  • Josh great job is always my friend.
  • 00:22:23.135 --> 00:22:25.237
  • God bless. we will see you again soon.
  • 00:22:25.237 --> 00:22:26.705
  • And coming up, my final thoughts.
  • 00:22:26.705 --> 00:22:28.574
  • A lot
  • 00:22:28.574 --> 00:22:29.642
  • To talk about plots against the white house, plots
  • 00:22:29.642 --> 00:22:31.076
  • Against america, the iran deal and more.
  • 00:22:31.076 --> 00:22:33.679
  • I'll break it down in my final thoughts next.
  • 00:22:33.679 --> 00:22:38.010
  • I'll break it down in my final thoughts next.
  • 00:22:38.010 --> 00:22:40.496
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
  • 00:22:41.397 --> 00:22:43.232
  • We've got a pending iran deal,
  • 00:22:43.232 --> 00:22:45.401
  • The world's number one
  • 00:22:45.401 --> 00:22:46.669
  • State sponsor of terrorism. i'm very skeptical that they will
  • 00:22:46.669 --> 00:22:48.838
  • Actually adhere to the deal.
  • 00:22:48.838 --> 00:22:50.105
  • Then we've got continued plots against the president
  • 00:22:50.105 --> 00:22:53.108
  • Of the united states right here on u.s.
  • 00:22:53.108 --> 00:22:54.844
  • Soil.
  • 00:22:54.844 --> 00:22:55.611
  • Man, we live in tumultuous times.
  • 00:22:55.611 --> 00:22:57.880
  • Here's the good news jesus addressed all this.
  • 00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:00.783
  • Matthew chapter 24, verse six.
  • 00:23:00.783 --> 00:23:02.852
  • Jesus said, you will hear of wars
  • 00:23:02.852 --> 00:23:05.221
  • And rumors of wars,
  • 00:23:05.221 --> 00:23:06.388
  • But see to it that you are not alarmed.
  • 00:23:06.388 --> 00:23:08.791
  • Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
  • 00:23:08.791 --> 00:23:12.862
  • God almighty is still on the throne.
  • 00:23:12.862 --> 00:23:15.331
  • So take heart.
  • 00:23:15.331 --> 00:23:16.365
  • Be encouraged tomorrow.
  • 00:23:16.365 --> 00:23:17.766
  • Great show.
  • 00:23:17.766 --> 00:23:18.701
  • Rachel campos duffy of fox news with us.
  • 00:23:18.701 --> 00:23:20.870
  • It's going to be a great one. until then, god bless you.
  • 00:23:20.870 --> 00:23:23.639
  • We'll see you soon.
  • 00:23:23.639 --> 00:23:23.639
