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: August 14, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | August 14, 2025
  • Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:04.861
  • I'm erick stakelbeck and all eyes are on alaska.
  • 00:00:04.861 --> 00:00:08.965
  • On friday,
  • 00:00:09.265 --> 00:00:10.166
  • President trump will meet in anchorage
  • 00:00:10.166 --> 00:00:11.901
  • With russian president vladimir putin.
  • 00:00:11.901 --> 00:00:14.003
  • And the stakes could not be higher.
  • 00:00:14.003 --> 00:00:16.573
  • The question president trump will
  • 00:00:16.573 --> 00:00:18.108
  • Pose to putin is very simple.
  • 00:00:18.108 --> 00:00:20.276
  • Will we have continued war and bloodshed or will we have peace?
  • 00:00:20.276 --> 00:00:25.949
  • Putin's onslaught against ukraine has now lasted
  • 00:00:25.949 --> 00:00:28.585
  • For three and a half brutal years and seen
  • 00:00:28.585 --> 00:00:31.621
  • Hundreds of thousands of people killed on both sides.
  • 00:00:31.621 --> 00:00:35.425
  • President trump says enough is enough.
  • 00:00:35.425 --> 00:00:38.094
  • He wants to see an end to the carnage,
  • 00:00:38.094 --> 00:00:40.296
  • And he has plenty of leverage over putin.
  • 00:00:40.296 --> 00:00:43.700
  • The secondary sanctions that trump recently approved
  • 00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:46.202
  • Against russian partners like india have hurt moscow,
  • 00:00:46.202 --> 00:00:49.973
  • And the flipping of long time russian ally armenia
  • 00:00:49.973 --> 00:00:53.143
  • Into the american column last week,
  • 00:00:53.143 --> 00:00:55.545
  • Thanks to a trump brokered peace deal with azerbaijan,
  • 00:00:55.545 --> 00:00:58.815
  • Also stung putin's regime.
  • 00:00:58.815 --> 00:01:01.684
  • Old vlad is limping
  • 00:01:01.684 --> 00:01:03.386
  • To the table in alaska and in a weakened position.
  • 00:01:03.386 --> 00:01:07.123
  • That's why he asked trump for the meeting.
  • 00:01:07.123 --> 00:01:09.659
  • Here's more from president trump.
  • 00:01:09.659 --> 00:01:14.097
  • Sir, when you meet
  • 00:01:14.531 --> 00:01:16.266
  • With vladimir putin friday in alaska.
  • 00:01:16.266 --> 00:01:19.335
  • Yeah.
  • 00:01:19.335 --> 00:01:20.136
  • Do you believe you can convince him
  • 00:01:20.136 --> 00:01:21.938
  • To stop targeting civilians in ukraine?
  • 00:01:21.938 --> 00:01:25.175
  • Well, i'll. tell you what.
  • 00:01:25.175 --> 00:01:26.643
  • I've had that conversation with him.
  • 00:01:26.643 --> 00:01:29.179
  • I've had a lot of good conversations with him.
  • 00:01:29.179 --> 00:01:31.181
  • Then i go home and i see that a rocket hit
  • 00:01:31.181 --> 00:01:33.183
  • A nursing home, or a rocket hit an apartment
  • 00:01:33.183 --> 00:01:35.451
  • Building, and people are laying dead in the streets.
  • 00:01:35.451 --> 00:01:37.387
  • So, i guess the answer to that is no,
  • 00:01:37.387 --> 00:01:40.023
  • Because i've had this conversation.
  • 00:01:40.023 --> 00:01:41.858
  • I want to end the war.
  • 00:01:41.858 --> 00:01:43.393
  • It's biden's war, but i want to end it.
  • 00:01:43.393 --> 00:01:46.162
  • I'll be very proud to end this war.
  • 00:01:46.162 --> 00:01:47.664
  • Along with the five other wars i ended.
  • 00:01:47.664 --> 00:01:50.833
  • Trump truly is keeping
  • 00:01:51.301 --> 00:01:53.236
  • His promise that he would be a peacemaker as president.
  • 00:01:53.236 --> 00:01:56.339
  • And that often involves, you guessed it, peace
  • 00:01:56.339 --> 00:01:59.342
  • Through strength.
  • 00:01:59.342 --> 00:02:00.810
  • Now, the president will very likely offer putin economic
  • 00:02:00.810 --> 00:02:03.813
  • Incentives and sanctions relief if he will end the war.
  • 00:02:03.813 --> 00:02:07.217
  • And if their meeting goes well, ukrainian president
  • 00:02:07.217 --> 00:02:10.053
  • Volodymyr zelensky will soon come to the table and,
  • 00:02:10.053 --> 00:02:13.156
  • God willing, something can be hammered out.
  • 00:02:13.156 --> 00:02:16.226
  • Folks, what we are witnessing under president trump is nothing
  • 00:02:16.226 --> 00:02:19.529
  • Less than a counterrevolution, a complete repudiation
  • 00:02:19.529 --> 00:02:23.900
  • Of the weak and indecisive foreign policy of joe biden,
  • 00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:27.570
  • Which appeased our enemies and isolated our allies.
  • 00:02:27.570 --> 00:02:32.175
  • That counterrevolution is also unfolding right here
  • 00:02:32.175 --> 00:02:35.678
  • At home, where woke madness, transgenderism, d-i open
  • 00:02:35.678 --> 00:02:41.084
  • Borders is taking a backseat to faith, family and freedom.
  • 00:02:41.084 --> 00:02:46.356
  • But not everyone is on board, including california's
  • 00:02:46.356 --> 00:02:50.593
  • Radical left governor gavin newsom.
  • 00:02:50.593 --> 00:02:53.429
  • Coming up, pastor jack hibbs shares why horrific
  • 00:02:53.429 --> 00:02:56.933
  • New legislation that's being proposed in
  • 00:02:56.933 --> 00:02:59.202
  • California is an imminent threat to every child
  • 00:02:59.202 --> 00:03:03.239
  • In the golden state and could affect you
  • 00:03:03.239 --> 00:03:05.942
  • No matter where you live.
  • 00:03:05.942 --> 00:03:07.543
  • Get the inside story next.
  • 00:03:07.543 --> 00:03:26.029
  • Our good friend, pastor jack hibbs, is founding and senior
  • 00:03:27.196 --> 00:03:30.066
  • Pastor of calvary chapel chino hills in california.
  • 00:03:30.066 --> 00:03:33.169
  • And right now, folks in his home state,
  • 00:03:33.169 --> 00:03:35.271
  • He is sounding the alarm about radical legislation
  • 00:03:35.271 --> 00:03:38.374
  • That jeopardizes every family in california.
  • 00:03:38.374 --> 00:03:41.844
  • Could it spread to other blue states nationwide?
  • 00:03:41.844 --> 00:03:44.947
  • Pastor jack has the inside story.
  • 00:03:44.947 --> 00:03:46.916
  • He's also author
  • 00:03:46.916 --> 00:03:48.117
  • Of a great upcoming book called to take a bold stand
  • 00:03:48.117 --> 00:03:52.322
  • Resilient and effective faith for a godless age.
  • 00:03:52.322 --> 00:03:56.559
  • Pastor jack, always great to see you.
  • 00:03:56.559 --> 00:03:59.262
  • Hey, this bill for 95 in california
  • 00:03:59.262 --> 00:04:02.532
  • From the pulpit recently.
  • 00:04:02.532 --> 00:04:03.866
  • You actually warned california families
  • 00:04:03.866 --> 00:04:06.235
  • And you've said, look, i'm staying in california.
  • 00:04:06.235 --> 00:04:08.371
  • We want to turn this state around.
  • 00:04:08.371 --> 00:04:09.772
  • But you said if this bill passes, families
  • 00:04:09.772 --> 00:04:12.608
  • Should strongly consider leaving the golden state.
  • 00:04:12.608 --> 00:04:15.778
  • Tell us more about pastor jack and why it's so dangerous.
  • 00:04:15.778 --> 00:04:19.449
  • Yeah, erick, it's
  • 00:04:19.882 --> 00:04:20.750
  • Ab, as you said, assembly bill 495.
  • 00:04:20.750 --> 00:04:23.820
  • And what i did tell the congregation broke my heart.
  • 00:04:23.820 --> 00:04:26.656
  • I've always taught our congregation to stand, to fight,
  • 00:04:26.656 --> 00:04:29.559
  • To vote for biblical worldview values.
  • 00:04:29.559 --> 00:04:31.694
  • We're going to continue to do that.
  • 00:04:31.694 --> 00:04:33.463
  • But now it's come down to it's obvious that every parent
  • 00:04:33.463 --> 00:04:36.566
  • Needs to protect the safety and the welfare of their child.
  • 00:04:36.566 --> 00:04:39.335
  • So this bill, erick, is actually when you peel everything away.
  • 00:04:39.335 --> 00:04:42.705
  • And by the way, i'm just regurgitating right now
  • 00:04:42.705 --> 00:04:45.108
  • What our legal counsel by various attorneys have told us
  • 00:04:45.108 --> 00:04:48.611
  • Who have mastered the bill, that it is really an attempt to,
  • 00:04:48.611 --> 00:04:52.448
  • Trump proof california and to, put a stop
  • 00:04:52.448 --> 00:04:56.853
  • Gap, regarding ice, here's what i mean by that.
  • 00:04:56.853 --> 00:05:00.656
  • The author of the bill, celeste rodriguez,
  • 00:05:00.656 --> 00:05:04.660
  • Declares that no child should live under the specter
  • 00:05:04.660 --> 00:05:07.964
  • In fear of their parents being taken away from them
  • 00:05:07.964 --> 00:05:11.667
  • While they were in school,
  • 00:05:11.667 --> 00:05:13.169
  • So that when they go home from the school,
  • 00:05:13.169 --> 00:05:15.037
  • The house is empty because their parents,
  • 00:05:15.037 --> 00:05:16.939
  • Their illegal aliens, have been taken captive.
  • 00:05:16.939 --> 00:05:19.609
  • Well, number one, erick,
  • 00:05:19.609 --> 00:05:21.244
  • There is already, a code in the education system.
  • 00:05:21.244 --> 00:05:25.381
  • Code?
  • 00:05:25.381 --> 00:05:26.282
  • California education code two three, 4.7
  • 00:05:26.282 --> 00:05:29.519
  • That protects children against such such things.
  • 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.221
  • Having said that,
  • 00:05:32.221 --> 00:05:33.723
  • This bill is not necessary to protect a child.
  • 00:05:33.723 --> 00:05:36.826
  • So why is this the bill?
  • 00:05:36.826 --> 00:05:39.362
  • So when you begin to look at the bill, it works this way.
  • 00:05:39.362 --> 00:05:42.865
  • And if it passes gavin newsom's desk,
  • 00:05:42.865 --> 00:05:45.468
  • There's an affidavit that is going to be posted.
  • 00:05:45.468 --> 00:05:47.503
  • I actually have it, erick, in my hands.
  • 00:05:47.503 --> 00:05:49.439
  • This is the affidavit that you can print out at home.
  • 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:53.242
  • You print it out and as you begin to fill it out,
  • 00:05:53.242 --> 00:05:56.512
  • It requires no driver's license, identification for the person
  • 00:05:56.512 --> 00:06:00.349
  • That is requisitioning the child out of a public school.
  • 00:06:00.349 --> 00:06:03.519
  • Example if i go down to x xyz school
  • 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:08.357
  • And i want to
  • 00:06:08.357 --> 00:06:09.525
  • Take out of the school a kid whose name i know, that's
  • 00:06:09.525 --> 00:06:13.029
  • All i need to know is this kid's name is billy johnson.
  • 00:06:13.029 --> 00:06:17.066
  • I request request is an understatement.
  • 00:06:17.066 --> 00:06:21.771
  • I sign the affidavit, i check a box that says, did
  • 00:06:21.771 --> 00:06:25.508
  • I attempt to reach the parents yes or no?
  • 00:06:25.508 --> 00:06:29.278
  • If i say yes, the school receives
  • 00:06:29.278 --> 00:06:31.981
  • The affidavit, picks up the phone, calls the kid out of
  • 00:06:31.981 --> 00:06:35.084
  • Class, puts the kid in my authority,
  • 00:06:35.084 --> 00:06:38.488
  • And i leave with the child with no background check,
  • 00:06:38.488 --> 00:06:42.592
  • With no identification, and with no way of tracing or,
  • 00:06:42.592 --> 00:06:47.597
  • Sourcing out to where did this individual go with this child?
  • 00:06:47.597 --> 00:06:51.901
  • Then at the end of the day,
  • 00:06:51.901 --> 00:06:53.369
  • When mom and dad show up to pick up their child,
  • 00:06:53.369 --> 00:06:55.771
  • The school is not obligated to even give the name
  • 00:06:55.771 --> 00:06:59.275
  • Of the person that extracted the child out of school.
  • 00:06:59.275 --> 00:07:02.612
  • That's why great legal minds right now in california
  • 00:07:02.612 --> 00:07:06.482
  • Are calling it a california state legislative.
  • 00:07:06.482 --> 00:07:10.586
  • Human trafficking free for all.
  • 00:07:10.586 --> 00:07:13.623
  • Yeah.
  • 00:07:13.623 --> 00:07:14.524
  • Yes. the worst.
  • 00:07:14.524 --> 00:07:15.658
  • Yeah.
  • 00:07:15.658 --> 00:07:16.692
  • I can't believe i can because it's california,
  • 00:07:16.692 --> 00:07:18.261
  • But in the sense i can't believe what i'm hearing
  • 00:07:18.261 --> 00:07:20.997
  • As you're talking.
  • 00:07:20.997 --> 00:07:21.831
  • What i'm thinking all along is
  • 00:07:21.831 --> 00:07:23.332
  • This is a human traffickers dream.
  • 00:07:23.332 --> 00:07:26.469
  • Going to a school say, hey, i know this kid
  • 00:07:26.469 --> 00:07:28.571
  • Plucked the kid out of school, and,
  • 00:07:28.571 --> 00:07:29.939
  • God forbid, send them into trafficking.
  • 00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:32.341
  • It's insane.
  • 00:07:32.341 --> 00:07:34.310
  • And do you think there's an ulterior motive here
  • 00:07:34.310 --> 00:07:36.846
  • Against christians,
  • 00:07:36.846 --> 00:07:37.914
  • Against the church, and anyone who does not uphold
  • 00:07:37.914 --> 00:07:41.250
  • Or support radical gender ideology for children?
  • 00:07:41.250 --> 00:07:45.454
  • Oh, you just think you you just nailed it, erick.
  • 00:07:45.454 --> 00:07:48.758
  • In the affidavit, it declares that this individual who has now
  • 00:07:48.758 --> 00:07:52.929
  • Taken possession of the child is given all legal medical rights
  • 00:07:52.929 --> 00:07:59.669
  • For the child to be treated for whatever is necessary.
  • 00:07:59.669 --> 00:08:04.273
  • Think about this, everybody, a total stranger, non-related,
  • 00:08:04.273 --> 00:08:08.244
  • Can take your kid out of class
  • 00:08:08.244 --> 00:08:09.912
  • While you're at work and take that kid away.
  • 00:08:09.912 --> 00:08:13.082
  • And if they deem necessary,
  • 00:08:13.683 --> 00:08:16.619
  • Your child can get a vaccine, get their teeth pulled,
  • 00:08:16.619 --> 00:08:20.556
  • Or have some sort of who knows what surgery done to them.
  • 00:08:20.556 --> 00:08:25.962
  • It's unbelievable.
  • 00:08:25.962 --> 00:08:27.096
  • And, erick, i got to tell you,
  • 00:08:27.096 --> 00:08:29.298
  • We have had a consistent response
  • 00:08:29.298 --> 00:08:31.667
  • By some of america's great, you know, these gentlemen
  • 00:08:31.667 --> 00:08:34.537
  • And these ladies that i'm talking about.
  • 00:08:34.537 --> 00:08:36.305
  • They have looked at it and they said, jack, here's the deal.
  • 00:08:36.305 --> 00:08:38.641
  • Usually we would tell you that the devil is in the details.
  • 00:08:38.641 --> 00:08:41.944
  • The fact of the matter is, this is so dangerous and so sick
  • 00:08:41.944 --> 00:08:45.481
  • That there are no details.
  • 00:08:45.481 --> 00:08:47.116
  • It's so open ended that anyone can come
  • 00:08:47.116 --> 00:08:50.519
  • And get your child, and it's so free flowing that it
  • 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:55.458
  • It renders it to be interpreted by any judge,
  • 00:08:55.458 --> 00:08:59.228
  • Outside child protection agency.
  • 00:08:59.862 --> 00:09:02.598
  • In fact, the document goes on to say that
  • 00:09:02.598 --> 00:09:05.001
  • It's not encouraging to contact child protection services.
  • 00:09:05.001 --> 00:09:10.306
  • Why would this bill, crafted
  • 00:09:10.306 --> 00:09:13.309
  • By celeste rodriguez of the california state
  • 00:09:13.309 --> 00:09:16.312
  • Assembly, want to keep child protection agency out of it?
  • 00:09:16.312 --> 00:09:19.682
  • Yeah, there's an agenda to this.
  • 00:09:19.682 --> 00:09:21.584
  • We're going to expose it.
  • 00:09:21.584 --> 00:09:22.785
  • Erick, on august 19th, we're going to the state capitol.
  • 00:09:22.785 --> 00:09:25.788
  • We're looking to have at least 5000 people there
  • 00:09:25.788 --> 00:09:28.758
  • Because of newsom signs this into law.
  • 00:09:28.758 --> 00:09:31.160
  • He's going to have to wear this
  • 00:09:31.160 --> 00:09:32.395
  • Around his neck all the way to his 2028 presidential campaign.
  • 00:09:32.395 --> 00:09:35.965
  • Yeah, this is pure, unadulterated, demonic evil.
  • 00:09:35.965 --> 00:09:39.835
  • No other way to put it pastor jack.
  • 00:09:39.835 --> 00:09:41.003
  • This is evil.
  • 00:09:41.003 --> 00:09:42.705
  • And again, sacramento, the state capitol, august 19th.
  • 00:09:42.705 --> 00:09:46.075
  • They're expecting thousands of people
  • 00:09:46.075 --> 00:09:47.443
  • To turn out right against this bill.
  • 00:09:47.443 --> 00:09:49.745
  • Erick, how about this?
  • 00:09:50.212 --> 00:09:51.113
  • If parents don't show up,
  • 00:09:51.113 --> 00:09:53.015
  • Then they're not going to show up
  • 00:09:53.015 --> 00:09:54.316
  • To anything else from this time forward.
  • 00:09:54.316 --> 00:09:55.951
  • If you don't show up to protect your child,
  • 00:09:55.951 --> 00:09:58.154
  • Then you're not going to show up for anything.
  • 00:09:58.154 --> 00:09:59.755
  • I am pleading with people in california, take the day off.
  • 00:09:59.755 --> 00:10:03.225
  • Take a vacation day, drive to sacramento.
  • 00:10:03.225 --> 00:10:05.394
  • Just stand there.
  • 00:10:05.394 --> 00:10:06.862
  • Don't worry.
  • 00:10:06.862 --> 00:10:07.863
  • Attorneys and myself will do all the talking.
  • 00:10:07.863 --> 00:10:10.399
  • Just stand there.
  • 00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:11.567
  • Can you just come and stand?
  • 00:10:11.567 --> 00:10:13.502
  • That would be so great if you could do that.
  • 00:10:13.502 --> 00:10:15.504
  • 1:00 is when it begins.
  • 00:10:15.504 --> 00:10:17.740
  • Get there at about 11 on august.
  • 00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:20.342
  • That's tuesday, august 19th.
  • 00:10:20.342 --> 00:10:22.278
  • Let's make a difference.
  • 00:10:22.278 --> 00:10:23.312
  • Let's do righteousness together. yeah.
  • 00:10:23.312 --> 00:10:25.648
  • We are called to take a bold stand.
  • 00:10:25.648 --> 00:10:28.350
  • That is the title of your great upcoming book.
  • 00:10:28.350 --> 00:10:30.252
  • We're going to break that down.
  • 00:10:30.252 --> 00:10:31.454
  • Hear more about it from pastor jack hibbs after the break.
  • 00:10:31.454 --> 00:10:34.490
  • Stick around.
  • 00:10:34.490 --> 00:10:37.008
  • Stick around.
  • 00:10:37.008 --> 00:10:40.332
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight
  • 00:10:41.066 --> 00:10:42.568
  • We are talking to our good friend, pastor jack hibbs,
  • 00:10:42.568 --> 00:10:44.837
  • Senior and founding pastor of calvary
  • 00:10:44.837 --> 00:10:46.572
  • Chapel chino hills in california.
  • 00:10:46.572 --> 00:10:48.574
  • Folks, check him out across social media
  • 00:10:48.574 --> 00:10:50.709
  • And of course, on the real life network.
  • 00:10:50.709 --> 00:10:53.812
  • Pastor jack, before the break,
  • 00:10:53.812 --> 00:10:55.481
  • We're talking about this insane evil legislation in california,
  • 00:10:55.481 --> 00:10:59.251
  • Which would only embolden child
  • 00:10:59.251 --> 00:11:00.719
  • Traffickers and many other evil sorts in the state.
  • 00:11:00.719 --> 00:11:04.156
  • That's why, you know, one reason
  • 00:11:04.156 --> 00:11:05.691
  • This kind of craziness in california,
  • 00:11:05.691 --> 00:11:07.793
  • Because a lot of times it starts in california,
  • 00:11:07.793 --> 00:11:09.962
  • But it spreads to other blue states
  • 00:11:09.962 --> 00:11:11.797
  • That take their marching orders from california.
  • 00:11:11.797 --> 00:11:13.999
  • That's one reason you're kind of in the belly of the beast
  • 00:11:13.999 --> 00:11:16.135
  • There that you wrote
  • 00:11:16.135 --> 00:11:17.169
  • Your great new book, call to take a bold stand.
  • 00:11:17.169 --> 00:11:20.773
  • Tell us about your thinking
  • 00:11:20.773 --> 00:11:21.807
  • With this book, because i think right now,
  • 00:11:21.807 --> 00:11:23.809
  • A lot of christians may have a tendency
  • 00:11:23.809 --> 00:11:25.410
  • To maybe rest on their laurels and say, hey, president
  • 00:11:25.410 --> 00:11:27.846
  • Trump's back in office, good things are happening.
  • 00:11:27.846 --> 00:11:30.382
  • But you say in the book,
  • 00:11:30.382 --> 00:11:31.383
  • We need to keep the foot
  • 00:11:31.383 --> 00:11:32.651
  • On our foot on the gas and keep pushing right?
  • 00:11:32.651 --> 00:11:36.188
  • Yeah.
  • 00:11:36.421 --> 00:11:37.122
  • One of the motives behind that,
  • 00:11:37.122 --> 00:11:38.056
  • Erick, is the fact that we can all agree
  • 00:11:38.056 --> 00:11:40.192
  • That we're having a political revival
  • 00:11:40.192 --> 00:11:42.027
  • In america right now, and we're very happy about that
  • 00:11:42.027 --> 00:11:44.663
  • And very soon,
  • 00:11:44.663 --> 00:11:46.732
  • The numbers are lining up for us
  • 00:11:46.732 --> 00:11:48.100
  • To have an economic revival in america.
  • 00:11:48.100 --> 00:11:50.302
  • And that's a very good thing.
  • 00:11:50.302 --> 00:11:51.770
  • But, erick, what is missing on
  • 00:11:51.770 --> 00:11:53.038
  • The horizon is a spiritual revival,
  • 00:11:53.038 --> 00:11:54.840
  • Which technically should should have preempted those other two.
  • 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.043
  • We need a spiritual revival, and we're not going to have one
  • 00:11:58.043 --> 00:12:00.879
  • Until the church decides to stand for righteousness.
  • 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:03.682
  • And the church isn't going to stand
  • 00:12:03.682 --> 00:12:05.050
  • For righteousness until pastors do.
  • 00:12:05.050 --> 00:12:07.419
  • And so this book has been i started writing this book,
  • 00:12:07.419 --> 00:12:10.522
  • A year ago,
  • 00:12:10.522 --> 00:12:11.456
  • And i had no idea that such
  • 00:12:11.456 --> 00:12:12.825
  • A disgusting bill was going to be coming.
  • 00:12:12.825 --> 00:12:15.294
  • We've been standing 36 years up against up
  • 00:12:15.294 --> 00:12:18.764
  • Against this, up against what?
  • 00:12:18.764 --> 00:12:20.299
  • Isaiah chapter ten, verse one says, woe
  • 00:12:20.299 --> 00:12:23.769
  • To those who decree unrighteous decrees,
  • 00:12:23.769 --> 00:12:26.805
  • Who write misfortune, which they have prescribed
  • 00:12:26.805 --> 00:12:29.641
  • For the people.
  • 00:12:29.641 --> 00:12:30.709
  • That defines the california state legislature.
  • 00:12:30.709 --> 00:12:33.612
  • And nearly 30 years of democrat
  • 00:12:33.612 --> 00:12:36.448
  • Supermajority control one evil bill after another.
  • 00:12:36.448 --> 00:12:40.652
  • And if the church doesn't stand against it, erick, who's
  • 00:12:40.652 --> 00:12:44.189
  • Going to?
  • 00:12:44.189 --> 00:12:44.857
  • So we've got to take a stand.
  • 00:12:44.857 --> 00:12:46.725
  • And, it's just remarkable.
  • 00:12:46.725 --> 00:12:49.127
  • God sent this up because the book, you know the book.
  • 00:12:49.127 --> 00:12:53.265
  • You know how it works. erick.
  • 00:12:53.265 --> 00:12:54.433
  • The book went into final editing many, many months ago
  • 00:12:54.433 --> 00:12:58.103
  • And then out into print.
  • 00:12:58.103 --> 00:12:59.605
  • And and then gavin newsom and his henchmen,
  • 00:12:59.605 --> 00:13:02.741
  • Create such a bill that it's going to actually help
  • 00:13:02.741 --> 00:13:05.143
  • In the promotion of the book.
  • 00:13:05.143 --> 00:13:06.478
  • And that was god planned, not jackpot.
  • 00:13:06.478 --> 00:13:09.481
  • Yeah. it's god's timing 100%.
  • 00:13:09.481 --> 00:13:12.251
  • And why do you think pastor jack,
  • 00:13:12.251 --> 00:13:13.886
  • That more christians and we see some boldness?
  • 00:13:13.886 --> 00:13:16.255
  • I think now coming out more
  • 00:13:16.255 --> 00:13:17.289
  • And more in recent months, thankfully.
  • 00:13:17.289 --> 00:13:18.790
  • But why haven't more people taken a bold stand?
  • 00:13:18.790 --> 00:13:22.127
  • More, more in the body of christ taking a bold stand,
  • 00:13:22.127 --> 00:13:24.897
  • I think of during covid, of course.
  • 00:13:24.897 --> 00:13:26.465
  • I think in reese, during the biden years,
  • 00:13:26.465 --> 00:13:28.433
  • Which were madness,
  • 00:13:28.433 --> 00:13:29.468
  • Why have people been wallflowers in the sense,
  • 00:13:29.468 --> 00:13:32.337
  • Instead of speaking out more and standing up for their faith?
  • 00:13:32.337 --> 00:13:35.774
  • Actions define
  • 00:13:36.108 --> 00:13:37.943
  • Our beliefs, what we believe in, we will act upon.
  • 00:13:37.943 --> 00:13:41.280
  • So you look around at the horizon,
  • 00:13:42.014 --> 00:13:43.916
  • And i hate to say this, erick, but unless the church wakes up,
  • 00:13:43.916 --> 00:13:47.419
  • The church is not feared by evil any longer.
  • 00:13:47.419 --> 00:13:51.056
  • The church is not relevant to the culture.
  • 00:13:51.056 --> 00:13:54.493
  • You just heard me read isaiah a moment ago.
  • 00:13:54.493 --> 00:13:56.328
  • People say, well, i don't get involved
  • 00:13:56.328 --> 00:13:57.663
  • With religion and politics. i keep them separate.
  • 00:13:57.663 --> 00:13:59.965
  • The bible knows nothing about that.
  • 00:13:59.965 --> 00:14:02.000
  • But can't we walk and chew gum at the same time as christians?
  • 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:05.137
  • Why can't we affect culture for righteousness
  • 00:14:05.137 --> 00:14:08.307
  • Without getting bogged down in the political argument of it
  • 00:14:08.307 --> 00:14:10.776
  • All? because we are to shine the light of god's truth
  • 00:14:10.776 --> 00:14:13.879
  • Everywhere.
  • 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:14.780
  • You cannot show me a place in the bible
  • 00:14:14.780 --> 00:14:16.815
  • Where our light shining for christ
  • 00:14:16.815 --> 00:14:18.684
  • Is to not go into that area, where to go everywhere.
  • 00:14:18.684 --> 00:14:22.554
  • And so until the church wakes up
  • 00:14:22.554 --> 00:14:24.256
  • And realizes my faith is teflon, it is to be used everywhere.
  • 00:14:24.256 --> 00:14:28.293
  • It's galvanized.
  • 00:14:28.293 --> 00:14:29.795
  • I can take my faith into any area.
  • 00:14:29.795 --> 00:14:32.464
  • And certainly i believe the second most important place
  • 00:14:32.464 --> 00:14:36.568
  • Outside the church is the halls of power in america
  • 00:14:36.568 --> 00:14:40.672
  • Has got a 250 year history of doing exactly that.
  • 00:14:40.672 --> 00:14:44.343
  • This nation started under the incredible,
  • 00:14:44.343 --> 00:14:47.612
  • Beautiful sermons of those colonial preachers
  • 00:14:47.612 --> 00:14:51.650
  • Who got guys like sam adams
  • 00:14:51.650 --> 00:14:54.086
  • And thomas jefferson excited about the concept of freedom,
  • 00:14:54.086 --> 00:14:57.656
  • Which is why king george,
  • 00:14:58.223 --> 00:14:59.324
  • The third, one of the pastors, to be shut down
  • 00:14:59.324 --> 00:15:03.228
  • Prior to the revolutionary war, i want to be that kind
  • 00:15:03.228 --> 00:15:06.531
  • Of pastor, erick.
  • 00:15:06.531 --> 00:15:07.566
  • I want to be
  • 00:15:07.566 --> 00:15:08.767
  • Part of that black robe regiment where we are on the wall,
  • 00:15:08.767 --> 00:15:11.470
  • The watchman on the wall, if i might take that from you,
  • 00:15:11.470 --> 00:15:14.573
  • Brother, and proclaim, evil is coming.
  • 00:15:14.573 --> 00:15:17.709
  • I'm blowing the trumpet.
  • 00:15:17.709 --> 00:15:18.944
  • Be warned and let's get ready.
  • 00:15:18.944 --> 00:15:21.446
  • And that's what i'm asking every pastor in california to do
  • 00:15:21.446 --> 00:15:25.384
  • On august 19th.
  • 00:15:25.384 --> 00:15:26.685
  • Amen. pastor jack, we're called to be ambassadors for christ.
  • 00:15:26.685 --> 00:15:29.421
  • Bold as lions.
  • 00:15:29.421 --> 00:15:30.756
  • As you've said. last question.
  • 00:15:30.756 --> 00:15:32.124
  • Only about 45 seconds left.
  • 00:15:32.124 --> 00:15:33.892
  • You also call us in the book to be bond servants of christ.
  • 00:15:33.892 --> 00:15:38.263
  • Tell us real quick what that means.
  • 00:15:38.263 --> 00:15:39.898
  • To be a bond servant of christ is to be a slave of christ.
  • 00:15:41.033 --> 00:15:43.802
  • The word actually means slave. and why would we do that?
  • 00:15:43.802 --> 00:15:46.571
  • Because when jesus christ is your master, the bible teaches
  • 00:15:46.571 --> 00:15:50.108
  • Us that we as his slaves have the ultimate freedom.
  • 00:15:50.108 --> 00:15:53.211
  • We are liberated from our past.
  • 00:15:53.211 --> 00:15:55.247
  • He's forgiveness of our sins.
  • 00:15:55.247 --> 00:15:56.681
  • He died on the cross for us.
  • 00:15:56.681 --> 00:15:57.983
  • He rose again from the dead.
  • 00:15:57.983 --> 00:15:59.851
  • What can hold us back, erick?
  • 00:15:59.851 --> 00:16:01.420
  • What could stop us?
  • 00:16:01.420 --> 00:16:02.687
  • If those things are true and they are true?
  • 00:16:02.687 --> 00:16:05.490
  • But do you do i do we personally believe that
  • 00:16:05.490 --> 00:16:09.194
  • If we do, god's truth will transform your life?
  • 00:16:09.194 --> 00:16:12.297
  • I will gladly be his slave
  • 00:16:12.297 --> 00:16:14.266
  • All the way to the kingdom of heaven.

  • Thanks as always. we will see you again soon.
  • 00:16:34.619 --> 00:16:36.555
  • And coming up after the break, a movement, a counter movement,
  • 00:16:36.555 --> 00:16:40.525
  • I should say,
  • 00:16:40.525 --> 00:16:41.560
  • Against the anti israel madness we see
  • 00:16:41.560 --> 00:16:44.429
  • Not only on the radical left, but now on the right,
  • 00:16:44.429 --> 00:16:47.232
  • Will be joined by two pro-israel stalwarts
  • 00:16:47.232 --> 00:16:50.602
  • After the break who tell us how to fight back.
  • 00:16:50.602 --> 00:16:53.472
  • Don't move.
  • 00:16:53.472 --> 00:16:57.009
  • Don't move.
  • 00:16:57.009 --> 00:17:00.444
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight,
  • 00:17:01.212 --> 00:17:03.047
  • Israel has been combating a relentless onslaught of enemy
  • 00:17:03.047 --> 00:17:07.251
  • Propaganda that seeks to turn the world's
  • 00:17:07.251 --> 00:17:09.887
  • Opinion against the jewish state.
  • 00:17:09.887 --> 00:17:12.189
  • And sadly, many are falling for the lies, even some christians.
  • 00:17:12.189 --> 00:17:17.528
  • That's why the conference
  • 00:17:17.528 --> 00:17:18.629
  • Of christian presidents for israel is so important.
  • 00:17:18.629 --> 00:17:21.665
  • It's a coalition fighting to expose the truth
  • 00:17:21.665 --> 00:17:24.835
  • And rally christian leaders to stand with israel.
  • 00:17:24.835 --> 00:17:28.005
  • We're joined now
  • 00:17:28.005 --> 00:17:29.273
  • By the group's two co-chairs, mario bramnick and luke moon.
  • 00:17:29.273 --> 00:17:32.343
  • Gentlemen, always great to see you and mario.
  • 00:17:32.343 --> 00:17:34.912
  • Look,
  • 00:17:34.912 --> 00:17:35.479
  • You and i have talked
  • 00:17:35.479 --> 00:17:36.514
  • In recent weeks, and you said you felt a sense
  • 00:17:36.514 --> 00:17:38.382
  • Of urgency here to launch this great new organization.
  • 00:17:38.382 --> 00:17:42.319
  • Tell us why.
  • 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:44.622
  • Yeah, we launched it last september.
  • 00:17:44.622 --> 00:17:47.291
  • We have over 100 top presidents of christian organizations
  • 00:17:47.291 --> 00:17:51.195
  • And national christian leadership.
  • 00:17:51.195 --> 00:17:53.330
  • Ralph reed, tony
  • 00:17:53.731 --> 00:17:54.965
  • Perkins, luke moon, others, are on our advisory board.
  • 00:17:54.965 --> 00:17:59.036
  • We've got a great team.
  • 00:17:59.036 --> 00:18:00.804
  • It's very important to raise our voice right now,
  • 00:18:00.804 --> 00:18:03.841
  • With all that's happening, to make sure that the u.s.
  • 00:18:03.841 --> 00:18:07.178
  • Israel relationship is as strong as ever,
  • 00:18:07.178 --> 00:18:10.080
  • Especially under president trump's administration, by far,
  • 00:18:10.080 --> 00:18:13.851
  • Not only the first administration,
  • 00:18:13.851 --> 00:18:15.753
  • But now trump 2.0.
  • 00:18:15.753 --> 00:18:17.755
  • We've never seen
  • 00:18:17.755 --> 00:18:18.989
  • A better friend of israel than the trump administration,
  • 00:18:18.989 --> 00:18:22.092
  • And we've got to make sure that,
  • 00:18:22.092 --> 00:18:24.094
  • We stay centered in support of israel from within,
  • 00:18:24.094 --> 00:18:27.765
  • Even our maga movement, as well as against those forces
  • 00:18:27.765 --> 00:18:31.602
  • In america that would try to divide israel
  • 00:18:31.602 --> 00:18:34.972
  • And the united states.
  • 00:18:34.972 --> 00:18:35.873
  • Yeah, mario.
  • 00:18:35.873 --> 00:18:36.473
  • Well said.
  • 00:18:36.473 --> 00:18:37.474
  • We've got an incredible opportunity here, luke.
  • 00:18:37.474 --> 00:18:38.742
  • Look,
  • 00:18:38.742 --> 00:18:39.710
  • You and i have talked in the past as well,
  • 00:18:39.710 --> 00:18:41.045
  • Luke, about obviously the radical left
  • 00:18:41.045 --> 00:18:42.880
  • And radical islamist.
  • 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:44.014
  • But now on the right, we see a segment of anti-israel
  • 00:18:44.014 --> 00:18:48.052
  • And just blatantly anti-semitic voices, quite frankly.
  • 00:18:48.052 --> 00:18:51.222
  • How does that factor into the work
  • 00:18:51.222 --> 00:18:53.157
  • At the conference of christian presence for israel?
  • 00:18:53.157 --> 00:18:55.793
  • Well, i think it's so important for us to create a bright line
  • 00:18:56.961 --> 00:19:00.064
  • Between what i would call the good
  • 00:19:00.064 --> 00:19:01.632
  • Right in the bad right, the good right being the maga movement.
  • 00:19:01.632 --> 00:19:04.835
  • Those who align themselves with trump,
  • 00:19:04.835 --> 00:19:06.870
  • They don't harbor anti-semitic or anti-israel views.
  • 00:19:06.870 --> 00:19:10.541
  • And i think it's so critical at this juncture to create that
  • 00:19:10.541 --> 00:19:13.944
  • Bright line, because we're seeing as,
  • 00:19:13.944 --> 00:19:17.081
  • Voices like tucker carlson, candace owen
  • 00:19:17.081 --> 00:19:19.817
  • Are so rabidly anti-israel, they need to get called out.
  • 00:19:19.817 --> 00:19:23.887
  • And it's these leaders, these organizational leaders
  • 00:19:23.887 --> 00:19:26.857
  • Who have large, large followings.
  • 00:19:26.857 --> 00:19:29.226
  • And even people like you, erick, who are
  • 00:19:29.226 --> 00:19:31.295
  • Really on the front lines of pushing back against these,
  • 00:19:31.295 --> 00:19:35.566
  • These voices from the right that need to get confronted.
  • 00:19:35.566 --> 00:19:38.168
  • Yeah. and, luke, by the way, you are in jerusalem right now.
  • 00:19:38.168 --> 00:19:40.671
  • We wish we were there with you.
  • 00:19:40.671 --> 00:19:42.039
  • But, mario, talk more about the open door.
  • 00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:45.342
  • I would say that
  • 00:19:45.342 --> 00:19:46.877
  • The christian pro-israel movement
  • 00:19:46.877 --> 00:19:48.612
  • Really all christians, but the pro-israel movement
  • 00:19:48.612 --> 00:19:50.881
  • Has right now with president trump in office
  • 00:19:50.881 --> 00:19:53.951
  • And why we cannot squander this opportunity,
  • 00:19:53.951 --> 00:19:56.620
  • Especially when israel is in the crosshairs like never before.
  • 00:19:56.620 --> 00:20:00.724
  • Yeah.
  • 00:20:00.958 --> 00:20:01.892
  • Very well put on the first administration.
  • 00:20:01.892 --> 00:20:03.894
  • And even now, the faith office and the amount of,
  • 00:20:03.894 --> 00:20:08.365
  • Christians, involved in this administration,
  • 00:20:08.365 --> 00:20:11.068
  • Even at the cabinet level, i think is probably historic.
  • 00:20:11.068 --> 00:20:14.938
  • So, the president and his administration
  • 00:20:14.938 --> 00:20:19.510
  • Understand the importance of this alliance,
  • 00:20:19.510 --> 00:20:21.712
  • What we saw, in the 12 day war and the support
  • 00:20:21.712 --> 00:20:25.149
  • Of president trump.
  • 00:20:25.149 --> 00:20:26.116
  • But yet within, as as luke mentioned,
  • 00:20:26.116 --> 00:20:29.553
  • Within the maga right movement, we have the,
  • 00:20:29.553 --> 00:20:34.158
  • Quote unquote america first isolationist, pretty much trying
  • 00:20:34.158 --> 00:20:37.861
  • To, push the president
  • 00:20:37.861 --> 00:20:39.363
  • Not to get involved and not even to support israel
  • 00:20:39.363 --> 00:20:42.199
  • In its defense against, the iranian nuclear,
  • 00:20:42.199 --> 00:20:46.570
  • Problem.
  • 00:20:46.837 --> 00:20:47.938
  • So, i think it's it's it's very important we see it.
  • 00:20:47.938 --> 00:20:52.810
  • Tucker carlson and company literally use, the bible
  • 00:20:52.810 --> 00:20:57.047
  • And christianity in their defense,
  • 00:20:57.047 --> 00:20:59.316
  • With, replacement theology rising.
  • 00:20:59.316 --> 00:21:01.919
  • And, i'm concerned that they're almost more brazen in their ret
  • 00:21:01.919 --> 00:21:06.323
  • Anti-semitic and anti-israel
  • 00:21:06.323 --> 00:21:07.725
  • Rhetoric than even the progressive
  • 00:21:07.725 --> 00:21:09.493
  • Left islamists that we've been fighting.
  • 00:21:09.493 --> 00:21:11.495
  • And they've got big platforms.
  • 00:21:11.495 --> 00:21:13.430
  • It is a very dangerous time area. luke, last question.
  • 00:21:13.430 --> 00:21:15.666
  • About 45 seconds left.
  • 00:21:15.666 --> 00:21:17.668
  • Big ticket items.
  • 00:21:17.668 --> 00:21:18.702
  • What's next on the agenda for the conference
  • 00:21:18.702 --> 00:21:20.471
  • Of christian presidents for israel?
  • 00:21:20.471 --> 00:21:23.507
  • Well,
  • 00:21:23.741 --> 00:21:24.742
  • We're excited about, we're looking towards,
  • 00:21:24.742 --> 00:21:26.977
  • The recognition of,
  • 00:21:26.977 --> 00:21:28.979
  • Judea and samaria by the israeli government,
  • 00:21:28.979 --> 00:21:30.981
  • Also by the united states government
  • 00:21:30.981 --> 00:21:33.083
  • Trying to move that along.
  • 00:21:33.083 --> 00:21:35.052
  • We're also
  • 00:21:35.052 --> 00:21:36.253
  • Just wanting to make sure that the pressure stays on iran.
  • 00:21:36.253 --> 00:21:38.589
  • We don't want any of these terror proxies,
  • 00:21:38.589 --> 00:21:41.091
  • Any of the the terrible actors in the region
  • 00:21:41.091 --> 00:21:44.461
  • To continue to be able to have a foothold against israel.
  • 00:21:44.461 --> 00:21:48.599
  • And we are so thankful for president trump
  • 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:51.402
  • And his administration and our our members
  • 00:21:51.402 --> 00:21:54.037
  • Of the conference of christian presidents
  • 00:21:54.037 --> 00:21:56.073
  • For aligning with us on this effort.
  • 00:21:56.073 --> 00:21:58.776
  • It's an all star team, for sure, that you have assembled,
  • 00:21:58.776 --> 00:22:01.245
  • Gentlemen for such a time as this.
  • 00:22:01.245 --> 00:22:03.614
  • Thanks so much for your great work, mario and luke.
  • 00:22:03.614 --> 00:22:05.682
  • We'll see you again soon. god bless gentlemen.
  • 00:22:05.682 --> 00:22:07.618
  • And coming up after the break, my final thoughts on revival.
  • 00:22:07.618 --> 00:22:11.722
  • Restoration here in america.
  • 00:22:11.722 --> 00:22:14.358
  • And the key to it.
  • 00:22:14.358 --> 00:22:16.093
  • Find out what it is after the break. stick around.
  • 00:22:16.093 --> 00:22:21.000
  • Find out what it is after the break. stick around.
  • 00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:23.700
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
  • 00:22:24.601 --> 00:22:26.336
  • We've been talking about revival in america
  • 00:22:26.336 --> 00:22:28.338
  • With our good friend, pastor jack gibbs.
  • 00:22:28.338 --> 00:22:30.374
  • And then a revival in pro israel.
  • 00:22:30.374 --> 00:22:33.277
  • Thinking among the church, which is a biblical mandate,
  • 00:22:33.277 --> 00:22:36.780
  • Makes me think of the book of
  • 00:22:36.780 --> 00:22:37.881
  • Isaiah, chapter 55, verses six and seven.
  • 00:22:37.881 --> 00:22:40.951
  • Seek the lord
  • 00:22:40.951 --> 00:22:42.419
  • While he may be found, call on him while he is near.
  • 00:22:42.419 --> 00:22:45.689
  • Let the wicked forsake their ways,
  • 00:22:45.689 --> 00:22:48.425
  • And the unrighteous their thoughts.
  • 00:22:48.425 --> 00:22:50.461
  • Let them turn to the lord, and he will have mercy on them.
  • 00:22:50.461 --> 00:22:53.964
  • And to our god, for he will freely pardon folks.
  • 00:22:53.964 --> 00:22:57.301
  • A lot of
  • 00:22:57.301 --> 00:22:58.402
  • That is about repentance, revival, and repentance.
  • 00:22:58.402 --> 00:23:00.904
  • I hope, and i pray that we're in the midst of it right now.
  • 00:23:00.904 --> 00:23:03.540
  • Here in america.
  • 00:23:03.540 --> 00:23:04.808
  • We need to strike while the iron shop.
  • 00:23:04.808 --> 00:23:06.410
  • We've got a window here of opportunity
  • 00:23:06.410 --> 00:23:08.111
  • Under president trump to advance the gospel,
  • 00:23:08.111 --> 00:23:10.547
  • To advance faith, family and freedom.
  • 00:23:10.547 --> 00:23:13.016
  • We cannot squander.
  • 00:23:13.016 --> 00:23:14.885
  • Tomorrow we will be at the city of david,
  • 00:23:14.885 --> 00:23:17.321
  • One of my favorite places in all of jerusalem.
  • 00:23:17.321 --> 00:23:20.190
  • You won't want to miss it until then.
  • 00:23:20.190 --> 00:23:22.059
  • God bless you and we'll see you soon.
  • 00:23:22.059 --> 00:23:22.059
