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 20, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | August 20, 2025
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:03.526 --> 00:00:04.861
- I'm erick stakelbeck
- 00:00:04.861 --> 00:00:06.096
- And i have been very critical, and rightly so, of weak, woke
- 00:00:06.096 --> 00:00:11.101
- Western leaders who have sown israel down the river,
- 00:00:11.101 --> 00:00:14.604
- While at the same time importing millions of muslim
- 00:00:14.604 --> 00:00:18.608
- Immigrants to their countries
- 00:00:18.608 --> 00:00:20.844
- In canada, france and the uk, sweden and other
- 00:00:20.844 --> 00:00:24.047
- Nato member nations, the government seem very content
- 00:00:24.047 --> 00:00:28.151
- To commit cultural suicide and to unhitch
- 00:00:28.151 --> 00:00:31.988
- From judeo-christian western civilization.
- 00:00:31.988 --> 00:00:34.757
- It's a civilization that was born in ancient israel
- 00:00:34.757 --> 00:00:38.595
- Through the ten commandments and the teachings of jesus.
- 00:00:38.595 --> 00:00:41.965
- And in today's middle east, israel remains the lone
- 00:00:41.965 --> 00:00:45.001
- Outpost of what used to be western values.
- 00:00:45.001 --> 00:00:49.139
- So it really gives
- 00:00:49.139 --> 00:00:50.173
- A sense of where we're at in some western nations
- 00:00:50.173 --> 00:00:52.876
- When their leaders readily
- 00:00:52.876 --> 00:00:54.310
- Embrace a false anti-israel narrative.
- 00:00:54.310 --> 00:00:58.448
- Just when you think they've already hit rock bottom,
- 00:00:58.448 --> 00:01:01.684
- Along comes australian prime minister anthony albanese
- 00:01:01.684 --> 00:01:05.588
- Earlier this week. watch.
- 00:01:05.588 --> 00:01:09.225
- The violence has gone on
- 00:01:09.759 --> 00:01:11.861
- Since 2023, since october 7th
- 00:01:11.861 --> 00:01:16.733
- And the netanyahu government's strategy is just to keep going,
- 00:01:16.733 --> 00:01:21.538
- Just to keep doing more of the same.
- 00:01:21.538 --> 00:01:23.740
- And the world is saying we need a solution to this conflict.
- 00:01:23.740 --> 00:01:28.111
- We need to end the cycle of violence.
- 00:01:28.111 --> 00:01:30.847
- And the way to do that is to have a two state solution.
- 00:01:30.847 --> 00:01:34.517
- With the demilitarized palestinian state.
- 00:01:34.517 --> 00:01:38.555
- Number one, the violence has gone on
- 00:01:39.355 --> 00:01:42.158
- Since october 7th, 2023, because hamas invaded israel,
- 00:01:42.158 --> 00:01:46.863
- Slaughtered 1200 people, still holds dozens
- 00:01:46.863 --> 00:01:49.866
- Of hostages and refuses to surrender.
- 00:01:49.866 --> 00:01:53.002
- Number two, you heard it there once again.
- 00:01:53.002 --> 00:01:55.471
- The palestinian state delusion.
- 00:01:55.471 --> 00:01:58.308
- The leaders of france,
- 00:01:58.308 --> 00:01:59.542
- The uk, canada and now australia all calling
- 00:01:59.542 --> 00:02:02.679
- For a palestinian state which would only reward hamas
- 00:02:02.679 --> 00:02:07.350
- As president trump has pointed out,
- 00:02:07.350 --> 00:02:09.118
- Calls for the palestinian state encourage hamas
- 00:02:09.118 --> 00:02:12.622
- To dig in more and to increase its demands.
- 00:02:12.622 --> 00:02:16.359
- It's also so obvious,
- 00:02:16.359 --> 00:02:18.861
- But we live in times when moral clarity
- 00:02:18.861 --> 00:02:21.464
- Is at a premium and common sense is not so common.
- 00:02:21.464 --> 00:02:26.336
- Now, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu responded
- 00:02:26.336 --> 00:02:29.239
- To the australian prime minister and he did not mince words.
- 00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:33.810
- Baby wrote albanys a personal letter
- 00:02:33.810 --> 00:02:35.979
- Calling him out, and then posted the following on its quote.
- 00:02:35.979 --> 00:02:40.250
- History will remember albanys for what?
- 00:02:40.250 --> 00:02:42.785
- He is a weak politician who betrayed
- 00:02:42.785 --> 00:02:46.589
- Israel and abandoned australia's jews.
- 00:02:46.589 --> 00:02:49.659
- Amen.
- 00:02:49.892 --> 00:02:51.127
- And the response from anthony albanese was to double down.
- 00:02:51.127 --> 00:02:55.565
- Take a look.
- 00:02:55.565 --> 00:02:57.700
- We'll continue to,
- 00:02:58.134 --> 00:03:00.003
- Put forward, australia's position.
- 00:03:00.003 --> 00:03:03.740
- And, you know, australians want those two things.
- 00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:07.176
- They want the cycle of violence to stop.
- 00:03:07.176 --> 00:03:09.779
- And they don't want conflict brought here.
- 00:03:09.779 --> 00:03:13.149
- First of all, any so-called cycle of violence
- 00:03:14.083 --> 00:03:17.053
- Is perpetuated by hamas and its masters in iran.
- 00:03:17.053 --> 00:03:21.057
- Secondly,
- 00:03:21.057 --> 00:03:22.225
- If you don't want violence to come to australia again,
- 00:03:22.225 --> 00:03:25.928
- Maybe you shouldn't import waves of muslim immigrants
- 00:03:25.928 --> 00:03:30.033
- From the middle east
- 00:03:30.033 --> 00:03:31.100
- Who have no desire to assimilate into your culture.
- 00:03:31.100 --> 00:03:34.937
- Folks, i can't tell you how thankful
- 00:03:34.937 --> 00:03:36.906
- I am to live in america right now, at a time where moral
- 00:03:36.906 --> 00:03:40.476
- Clarity and common sense are back in the white house.
- 00:03:40.476 --> 00:03:44.280
- This picture
- 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:45.548
- From monday's meeting on russia and ukraine, with world leaders
- 00:03:45.548 --> 00:03:49.018
- Sitting around president trump's desk in the oval office.
- 00:03:49.018 --> 00:03:52.221
- Like schoolchildren at the principal's office,
- 00:03:52.221 --> 00:03:55.291
- Pretty much summed up where things are.
- 00:03:55.291 --> 00:03:58.261
- The leader of the free world is back in business.
- 00:03:58.261 --> 00:04:01.998
- Up next, we're heading to tel aviv
- 00:04:01.998 --> 00:04:03.633
- For an on the ground report debunking those false narratives
- 00:04:03.633 --> 00:04:07.704
- About israel and gaza that western leaders
- 00:04:07.704 --> 00:04:10.907
- Like anthony albanese have so eagerly embraced.
- 00:04:10.907 --> 00:04:14.677
- And it all starts now.
- 00:04:14.677 --> 00:04:34.063
- We are living in a
- 00:04:34.497 --> 00:04:35.598
- Time when antisemitism is exploding across the west.
- 00:04:35.598 --> 00:04:38.835
- Hamas propaganda is deceiving millions and radical regimes
- 00:04:38.835 --> 00:04:42.905
- In iran and beyond are tightening their grip.
- 00:04:42.905 --> 00:04:46.042
- Since october 7th, emily schrader has been on the ground
- 00:04:46.042 --> 00:04:49.078
- From london.
- 00:04:49.078 --> 00:04:50.012
- Protest to live reports under rocket fire.
- 00:04:50.012 --> 00:04:52.949
- Fearlessly telling the truth about israel, iran
- 00:04:52.949 --> 00:04:56.119
- And the dangerous rise of anti-semitism worldwide.
- 00:04:56.119 --> 00:04:59.188
- She's a journalist, human rights activist
- 00:04:59.188 --> 00:05:01.057
- And host of the axis of truth podcast.
- 00:05:01.057 --> 00:05:03.760
- Emily, always great to see you.
- 00:05:03.760 --> 00:05:05.161
- Hey, you're joining us from a tel aviv street right now.
- 00:05:05.161 --> 00:05:07.263
- But just last week you were in gaza.
- 00:05:07.263 --> 00:05:09.632
- And emily, we hear so much about starving gazans and,
- 00:05:09.632 --> 00:05:13.503
- Intentional starvation enforced by the idf
- 00:05:13.503 --> 00:05:16.773
- And a genocide happening there.
- 00:05:16.773 --> 00:05:18.574
- What did you see on the ground?
- 00:05:18.574 --> 00:05:20.643
- What was your firsthand perspective
- 00:05:20.643 --> 00:05:22.512
- Of what's really happening in gaza?
- 00:05:22.512 --> 00:05:25.815
- Well, first off, thank you so much for having me.
- 00:05:26.783 --> 00:05:28.418
- It's always great to be back with you,
- 00:05:28.418 --> 00:05:30.119
- Although not in studio this time here
- 00:05:30.119 --> 00:05:32.155
- Speaking to you from tel aviv.
- 00:05:32.155 --> 00:05:33.923
- But yeah, that's correct.
- 00:05:33.923 --> 00:05:35.425
- I mean,
- 00:05:35.425 --> 00:05:36.659
- As we have all seen and heard across media and social media,
- 00:05:36.659 --> 00:05:39.395
- There actually is intentional starvation in gaza,
- 00:05:39.395 --> 00:05:42.799
- But that intentional starvation
- 00:05:42.799 --> 00:05:44.300
- Is being done to the 50 remaining hostages.
- 00:05:44.300 --> 00:05:47.370
- As we have seen hamas so cynically put out these
- 00:05:47.370 --> 00:05:50.139
- Disgusting videos of our hostages being tortured.
- 00:05:50.139 --> 00:05:54.410
- Now, when i was in gaza, i was at the kerem
- 00:05:54.410 --> 00:05:56.913
- Shalom crossing.
- 00:05:56.913 --> 00:05:58.181
- This is the humanitarian aid crossing, where u.n.
- 00:05:58.181 --> 00:06:01.384
- Aid and aid that goes through the humanitarian foundation
- 00:06:01.384 --> 00:06:05.154
- Enters the gaza strip.
- 00:06:05.154 --> 00:06:06.556
- Now, when i was there, there were hundreds,
- 00:06:06.556 --> 00:06:08.825
- Literally hundreds of trucks of age
- 00:06:08.825 --> 00:06:11.527
- That had been
- 00:06:11.527 --> 00:06:12.628
- Put out in the area for the united nations troops
- 00:06:12.628 --> 00:06:15.097
- That are authorized to distribute aid.
- 00:06:15.097 --> 00:06:17.266
- So the world food program, primarily.
- 00:06:17.266 --> 00:06:19.268
- And yet none of these tons of aid had been picked up.
- 00:06:19.268 --> 00:06:22.338
- They were there
- 00:06:22.338 --> 00:06:23.406
- Sitting, rotting in the sun for weeks at a time.
- 00:06:23.406 --> 00:06:26.742
- And this is since israel reinstated
- 00:06:26.742 --> 00:06:28.911
- The aid at the end of may.
- 00:06:28.911 --> 00:06:31.347
- We've seen the gaza
- 00:06:31.347 --> 00:06:32.482
- Humanitarian foundation already distribute successfully
- 00:06:32.482 --> 00:06:35.751
- 126 million meals into the hands directly of gaza citizens,
- 00:06:35.751 --> 00:06:40.690
- And we see ongoing efforts from gaza to do just that.
- 00:06:40.690 --> 00:06:44.727
- The u.n., unfortunately, has only picked up
- 00:06:44.727 --> 00:06:47.296
- After really my report.
- 00:06:47.296 --> 00:06:48.631
- I'd love to take credit, but it's not just me.
- 00:06:48.631 --> 00:06:51.100
- We did see a lot of international media
- 00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:53.169
- Speaking up about the fact that the u.n.
- 00:06:53.169 --> 00:06:55.071
- Had done
- 00:06:55.071 --> 00:06:56.205
- Nothing, that these trucks were a proof that the aid
- 00:06:56.205 --> 00:06:58.441
- Had been moved inside of the gaza strip
- 00:06:58.441 --> 00:07:00.510
- And was just sitting there waiting to be distributed.
- 00:07:00.510 --> 00:07:02.712
- Now, the reason it wasn't was twofold.
- 00:07:02.712 --> 00:07:04.914
- First off, it was a bias against the state of israel.
- 00:07:04.914 --> 00:07:07.316
- They wanted to be able to claim that israel was the barrier
- 00:07:07.316 --> 00:07:10.520
- To the distribution of this aid, when in fact
- 00:07:10.520 --> 00:07:12.688
- It wasn't israel, it was the united nations.
- 00:07:12.688 --> 00:07:15.157
- And the other reason is
- 00:07:15.157 --> 00:07:16.092
- Because it is extremely dangerous
- 00:07:16.092 --> 00:07:17.793
- On the ground inside gaza, according
- 00:07:17.793 --> 00:07:19.529
- To the un's own statistics.
- 00:07:19.529 --> 00:07:21.864
- They claimed that over 90% of the aid
- 00:07:21.864 --> 00:07:25.067
- That has been picked up
- 00:07:25.067 --> 00:07:26.369
- And delivered has already been intercepted by hamas
- 00:07:26.369 --> 00:07:29.672
- Or by other mafia groups on the ground
- 00:07:29.672 --> 00:07:31.941
- Inside of the gaza
- 00:07:31.941 --> 00:07:32.942
- Strip, looting
- 00:07:32.942 --> 00:07:34.176
- And raiding those trucks before they get to their destination.
- 00:07:34.176 --> 00:07:37.013
- So a very precarious situation, though not at all
- 00:07:37.013 --> 00:07:40.049
- What we're hearing in the mainstream media.
- 00:07:40.049 --> 00:07:41.817
- Yeah, emily, thank you so much
- 00:07:41.817 --> 00:07:43.052
- For clearing this up for our viewers.
- 00:07:43.052 --> 00:07:44.787
- It's insane.
- 00:07:44.787 --> 00:07:45.755
- The the false narrative, the disinformation
- 00:07:45.755 --> 00:07:47.690
- Misinformation that includes here in the west.
- 00:07:47.690 --> 00:07:50.493
- Hey, you were in gaza last week.
- 00:07:50.493 --> 00:07:52.028
- You were also recently in london, covering pro
- 00:07:52.028 --> 00:07:56.265
- Hamas rallies.
- 00:07:56.265 --> 00:07:57.700
- I think that's the only way we can describe it.
- 00:07:57.700 --> 00:07:59.368
- What did you see on the ground in london?
- 00:07:59.368 --> 00:08:02.305
- This hamas network stretches worldwide and has a real,
- 00:08:02.305 --> 00:08:05.641
- Real base in a place like london and paris and beyond.
- 00:08:05.641 --> 00:08:10.646
- Well, i think that the scenes in europe
- 00:08:11.447 --> 00:08:12.982
- And even the united states and canada as well,
- 00:08:12.982 --> 00:08:14.984
- Has been frightening since october 7th.
- 00:08:14.984 --> 00:08:16.953
- I don't think anyone can dispute
- 00:08:16.953 --> 00:08:18.521
- The shocking rise in antisemitism and violent
- 00:08:18.521 --> 00:08:21.390
- Antisemitism against jewish communities all over the world.
- 00:08:21.390 --> 00:08:24.961
- But beyond that,
- 00:08:24.961 --> 00:08:25.928
- What we saw in london is almost every week
- 00:08:25.928 --> 00:08:27.797
- There have been anti-israel protests
- 00:08:27.797 --> 00:08:29.532
- That continue to rebrand their names and their terminologies
- 00:08:29.532 --> 00:08:32.935
- In order to work around the laws
- 00:08:32.935 --> 00:08:34.604
- And restrictions that are being placed, by the government.
- 00:08:34.604 --> 00:08:37.506
- The one that i attended in particular,
- 00:08:37.506 --> 00:08:39.241
- Was one of palestine action.
- 00:08:39.241 --> 00:08:41.377
- That's the name of the group
- 00:08:41.377 --> 00:08:42.612
- That was actually already outlawed
- 00:08:42.612 --> 00:08:44.280
- Because they
- 00:08:44.280 --> 00:08:45.414
- Invaded a military base of the uk and damaged aircraft.
- 00:08:45.414 --> 00:08:48.985
- So we're not talking about
- 00:08:48.985 --> 00:08:50.319
- People who go out and protest in the streets
- 00:08:50.319 --> 00:08:52.088
- Because they care about palestinians.
- 00:08:52.088 --> 00:08:53.289
- We're talking about
- 00:08:53.289 --> 00:08:54.223
- Effectively a domestic terrorist organization.
- 00:08:54.223 --> 00:08:57.026
- And so there were a lot of arrests at this protest.
- 00:08:57.026 --> 00:09:00.029
- Unfortunately, we see that a lot of these
- 00:09:00.029 --> 00:09:01.530
- People who are arrested on scenes like this
- 00:09:01.530 --> 00:09:03.666
- Are just released a few hours later.
- 00:09:03.666 --> 00:09:05.534
- There's not actual enforcement.
- 00:09:05.534 --> 00:09:07.003
- And i think this is one of the major problems
- 00:09:07.003 --> 00:09:09.271
- That we have when it comes to dealing
- 00:09:09.271 --> 00:09:10.740
- With radicalism and extremism on campuses and in communities.
- 00:09:10.740 --> 00:09:14.377
- And the first reason, the number one problem that we see
- 00:09:14.377 --> 00:09:16.712
- This is because of the muslim brotherhood,
- 00:09:16.712 --> 00:09:18.681
- Which the secretary of state in the u.s., marco rubio,
- 00:09:18.681 --> 00:09:21.317
- Recently announced that they were going to be
- 00:09:21.317 --> 00:09:23.452
- Initiating a ban or planning to ban this group.
- 00:09:23.452 --> 00:09:26.188
- Long overdue.
- 00:09:26.188 --> 00:09:27.256
- Many arab countries have already done this
- 00:09:27.256 --> 00:09:29.392
- Because they know exactly what this group is,
- 00:09:29.392 --> 00:09:31.560
- The muslim brotherhood, and that is the group
- 00:09:31.560 --> 00:09:33.796
- That's behind hamas in the gaza strip as well.
- 00:09:33.796 --> 00:09:36.699
- Yeah. emily. well said.
- 00:09:36.699 --> 00:09:38.100
- The muslim brotherhood is the granddaddy of them all
- 00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:40.603
- When it comes to islamic terror.
- 00:09:40.603 --> 00:09:41.837
- And hamas self-identifies itself as the palestinian branch
- 00:09:41.837 --> 00:09:46.008
- Of the muslim brotherhood. hey, about a minute left.
- 00:09:46.008 --> 00:09:48.077
- You've been at the forefront of coverage on all things iran.
- 00:09:48.077 --> 00:09:51.480
- Iranian regime still licking its wounds after the 12 day war.
- 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:55.484
- Do you anticipate in the next few months, perhaps
- 00:09:55.484 --> 00:09:58.587
- Another round between israel and iran, about a minute left?
- 00:09:58.587 --> 00:10:02.758
- I mean, we're already
- 00:10:03.259 --> 00:10:04.393
- Hearing the the responses from the islamic republic.
- 00:10:04.393 --> 00:10:07.263
- They're under tremendous pressure.
- 00:10:07.263 --> 00:10:08.631
- The economy is pretty much in freefall in iran.
- 00:10:08.631 --> 00:10:11.033
- There's no water, there's limited electricity.
- 00:10:11.033 --> 00:10:13.369
- Absolute chaos on the ground, despite the fact
- 00:10:13.369 --> 00:10:15.504
- That they're trying to put on a brave face.
- 00:10:15.504 --> 00:10:17.673
- A lot of their tentacles across the region
- 00:10:17.673 --> 00:10:19.709
- Hezbollah, hamas, different groups that they fund
- 00:10:19.709 --> 00:10:22.111
- Have been cut off. and we hope that that continues.
- 00:10:22.111 --> 00:10:24.447
- I do expect to see, a further conflict.
- 00:10:24.447 --> 00:10:27.550
- Not sure if it will be israel or israel alone,
- 00:10:27.550 --> 00:10:29.852
- But i do expect that eventually we will see
- 00:10:29.852 --> 00:10:31.921
- The islamic republic of iran fall.
- 00:10:31.921 --> 00:10:33.689
- And that will be a joyous day for everyone in the middle east.
- 00:10:33.689 --> 00:10:36.325
- Yes, from your lips, the god's hers.
- 00:10:36.325 --> 00:10:37.927
- And emily again,
- 00:10:37.927 --> 00:10:38.828
- You've been at the forefront of that,
- 00:10:38.828 --> 00:10:40.162
- Standing with the women of iran, the brave distance.
- 00:10:40.162 --> 00:10:42.431
- Iran. thank you for your great work.
- 00:10:42.431 --> 00:10:43.966
- Joining us from tel aviv, emily. god bless folks.
- 00:10:43.966 --> 00:10:46.736
- Be sure to join emily.
- 00:10:46.736 --> 00:10:47.937
- Follow emily on x and across social media.
- 00:10:47.937 --> 00:10:51.107
- Take care emily. we'll see you again soon.
- 00:10:51.107 --> 00:10:52.742
- And after the break we are joined
- 00:10:52.742 --> 00:10:54.477
- By the world's number one expert on urban warfare.
- 00:10:54.477 --> 00:10:58.814
- John spencer is here to break down more on
- 00:10:58.814 --> 00:11:01.183
- What's really happening in gaza and what you need to know.
- 00:11:01.183 --> 00:11:04.220
- That's after the break. stick around.
- 00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:08.008
- That's after the break. stick around.
- 00:11:08.008 --> 00:11:10.402
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:11:11.170 --> 00:11:13.038
- From the tunnels of gaza to the streets of ukraine, urban
- 00:11:13.038 --> 00:11:16.976
- Battlefields are changing the way wars are fought in our time.
- 00:11:16.976 --> 00:11:21.280
- Few people on earth know this subject
- 00:11:21.280 --> 00:11:23.349
- Better than john spencer.
- 00:11:23.349 --> 00:11:24.984
- He's the executive director of the urban warfare studies
- 00:11:24.984 --> 00:11:27.620
- At the modern war institute at west point,
- 00:11:27.620 --> 00:11:30.322
- And he's co-director
- 00:11:30.322 --> 00:11:31.390
- Of the urban warfare project and a combat veteran
- 00:11:31.390 --> 00:11:34.293
- With more than two decades in the us army.
- 00:11:34.293 --> 00:11:36.929
- John, always great to see you.
- 00:11:36.929 --> 00:11:39.064
- Hey, i want to get into the nitty gritty of gaza
- 00:11:39.064 --> 00:11:41.534
- And a potential invasion by the idf of gaza city.
- 00:11:41.534 --> 00:11:44.837
- But first, john, we've been talking on this
- 00:11:44.837 --> 00:11:46.405
- Program about these calls for a palestinian state
- 00:11:46.405 --> 00:11:50.242
- By the leaders of the uk, canada, australia, france.
- 00:11:50.242 --> 00:11:54.480
- John, in your view, you've been to gaza,
- 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:55.981
- You've been on the ground, you've seen it all up close.
- 00:11:55.981 --> 00:11:58.384
- Why is that so destructive?
- 00:11:58.384 --> 00:12:00.252
- Does that just reward hamas
- 00:12:00.252 --> 00:12:02.254
- And embolden them to dig in further?
- 00:12:02.254 --> 00:12:05.024
- Absolutely. it's rewarding terrorism.
- 00:12:05.024 --> 00:12:07.259
- It's rewarding.
- 00:12:07.259 --> 00:12:08.928
- Even the palestinian authority, with their pay to slay program,
- 00:12:08.928 --> 00:12:11.630
- It is literally rewarding terrorism
- 00:12:11.630 --> 00:12:14.900
- And upsetting all international norms.
- 00:12:14.900 --> 00:12:17.770
- Right. the palestinian state, there's no border in it.
- 00:12:17.770 --> 00:12:20.573
- They can draw. there's no authority anybody can give.
- 00:12:20.573 --> 00:12:23.042
- There's no representation.
- 00:12:23.042 --> 00:12:24.743
- There's so many issues.
- 00:12:24.743 --> 00:12:26.078
- And for it to be used as a threat against israel,
- 00:12:26.078 --> 00:12:29.281
- To be clear, that's what they did is ridiculous.
- 00:12:29.281 --> 00:12:32.585
- And you only had to listen
- 00:12:32.585 --> 00:12:33.919
- To the palestinian voice like hamas, who says,
- 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.690
- Look, france, thank you for your recognizing
- 00:12:37.690 --> 00:12:40.659
- Of the palestinian state.
- 00:12:40.659 --> 00:12:41.727
- But just to be clear,
- 00:12:41.727 --> 00:12:42.862
- We want our capital to be jerusalem,
- 00:12:42.862 --> 00:12:44.630
- And we don't want israel to be a part of it.
- 00:12:44.630 --> 00:12:46.999
- So it's it's unfortunate that this is the way
- 00:12:46.999 --> 00:12:51.437
- That any nation
- 00:12:51.437 --> 00:12:52.471
- Would treat another nation, let alone israel,
- 00:12:52.471 --> 00:12:55.074
- And just create this double standard
- 00:12:55.074 --> 00:12:56.942
- On trying to give create a state
- 00:12:56.942 --> 00:12:58.978
- Where there isn't one that exists.
- 00:12:58.978 --> 00:13:00.679
- Yeah, it's a complete collapse of moral clarity.
- 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:02.982
- Speaking of which, speaking of gaza, john,
- 00:13:02.982 --> 00:13:04.750
- Look, the idf right now massing for a possible invasion
- 00:13:04.750 --> 00:13:08.187
- Of gaza city and to finally conquer gaza city and hopefully
- 00:13:08.187 --> 00:13:12.424
- Destroy defeat hamas decisively once and for all.
- 00:13:12.424 --> 00:13:16.195
- What's the latest on that, john?
- 00:13:16.195 --> 00:13:17.830
- What are you hearing
- 00:13:17.830 --> 00:13:18.931
- And what is the possibility
- 00:13:18.931 --> 00:13:20.633
- For success for the idf in this operation?
- 00:13:20.633 --> 00:13:23.903
- Sure.
- 00:13:24.136 --> 00:13:25.337
- So what we know so far is that the plan has been approved.
- 00:13:25.337 --> 00:13:27.973
- Israel has called up 60,000 reservists for
- 00:13:27.973 --> 00:13:31.510
- What seems to be a five division attack into gaza city.
- 00:13:31.510 --> 00:13:34.647
- And to be clear,
- 00:13:34.647 --> 00:13:35.881
- The idf have not going into these areas ever out of concern
- 00:13:35.881 --> 00:13:39.151
- For the hostages, since hamas still holds
- 00:13:39.151 --> 00:13:41.487
- 20 living hostages that they're starving,
- 00:13:41.487 --> 00:13:43.656
- Torturing, doing awful things to and 30 bodies.
- 00:13:43.656 --> 00:13:47.259
- But israel
- 00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:48.127
- Has, up to this point,
- 00:13:48.127 --> 00:13:49.395
- Not gone into this very dense city where there's
- 00:13:49.395 --> 00:13:52.631
- Currently a million palestinian civilians who move back
- 00:13:52.631 --> 00:13:56.268
- Because hamas made them after the last cease fire.
- 00:13:56.268 --> 00:13:59.538
- We believe this operation may go through
- 00:13:59.538 --> 00:14:02.207
- And all the plans are being set.
- 00:14:02.207 --> 00:14:03.509
- The call ups are happening,
- 00:14:03.509 --> 00:14:05.344
- The idf are preparing, they're still there.
- 00:14:05.344 --> 00:14:07.880
- So the idf currently have four divisions
- 00:14:07.880 --> 00:14:10.249
- After operation gideon's chariot, eliminating
- 00:14:10.249 --> 00:14:12.985
- Hamas terrorist, eliminating more mile after mile
- 00:14:12.985 --> 00:14:17.056
- After mile of the tunnels that hamas invested
- 00:14:17.056 --> 00:14:20.059
- In billions of dollars.
- 00:14:20.059 --> 00:14:21.260
- Instead of investing in the people or the infrastructure.
- 00:14:21.260 --> 00:14:24.830
- So but the at this point, hamas, like it has in the past,
- 00:14:24.830 --> 00:14:28.901
- Whenever it is truly threatened, when there's truly no daylight
- 00:14:28.901 --> 00:14:32.838
- Between the united states, thanks to president trump
- 00:14:32.838 --> 00:14:35.808
- And israel's right to pursue the release of the hostages
- 00:14:35.808 --> 00:14:39.478
- And the removal of hamas from power,
- 00:14:39.478 --> 00:14:42.081
- Now we've reached the point where there is no daylight,
- 00:14:42.081 --> 00:14:44.183
- Although you had these, like you said,
- 00:14:44.183 --> 00:14:45.918
- All these countries trying to designate
- 00:14:45.918 --> 00:14:48.087
- A palestinian state to reward hamas.
- 00:14:48.087 --> 00:14:50.155
- But hamas has now come back going, okay, wait a minute.
- 00:14:50.155 --> 00:14:53.258
- We're willing to do a temporary cease fire.
- 00:14:53.258 --> 00:14:55.561
- You're 60 days for a certain number of hostages
- 00:14:55.561 --> 00:14:58.497
- When israel
- 00:14:58.497 --> 00:14:59.732
- Wants and united states and everybody wants this to be over.
- 00:14:59.732 --> 00:15:02.568
- I mean, you have arab nations now saying, of course we agree
- 00:15:02.568 --> 00:15:06.205
- That hamas must give the hostages back, disarm
- 00:15:06.205 --> 00:15:09.274
- And not be in power in gaza, but they have no solution.
- 00:15:09.274 --> 00:15:13.078
- So the idea if we're going to move forward
- 00:15:13.078 --> 00:15:15.080
- And it's going to be a tough
- 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:16.081
- Fight, erick, i want people to know,
- 00:15:16.081 --> 00:15:18.017
- I mean, what the idf have been able to do it.
- 00:15:18.017 --> 00:15:20.419
- There's very few explanations for it.
- 00:15:20.419 --> 00:15:22.788
- Under this scenario of somebody preparing
- 00:15:22.788 --> 00:15:26.692
- Every building is a bomb, every step you take, and there's
- 00:15:26.692 --> 00:15:29.862
- An enemy tunnel underneath you that the idf have lost.
- 00:15:29.862 --> 00:15:33.632
- You know, almost a thousand soldiers, but
- 00:15:33.632 --> 00:15:36.168
- The to
- 00:15:36.368 --> 00:15:37.603
- Be able to do that, there's very few explanations outside
- 00:15:37.603 --> 00:15:40.739
- Of some history in israel, like how did you do that?
- 00:15:40.739 --> 00:15:44.977
- How did you enter this prepared ground like this?
- 00:15:44.977 --> 00:15:48.714
- But the tough fight will be that deep center of gaza city
- 00:15:48.714 --> 00:15:52.551
- That they haven't gone into yet.
- 00:15:52.551 --> 00:15:53.919
- Yeah. and john, about 30s left before the break.
- 00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:56.055
- You believe most of the hostages
- 00:15:56.055 --> 00:15:57.990
- Perhaps are in that gaza city area?
- 00:15:57.990 --> 00:16:01.160
- Most.
- 00:16:01.160 --> 00:16:01.960
- But there's there is another area
- 00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:03.529
- Called the central camps in dearborn,
- 00:16:03.529 --> 00:16:05.364
- And i wouldn't put it past hamas
- 00:16:05.364 --> 00:16:06.799
- To put them in the humanitarian zone.
- 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:08.567
- They're almost a humanitarian zone
- 00:16:08.567 --> 00:16:10.069
- Where, oh, by the way, the mastermind of the military,
- 00:16:10.069 --> 00:16:13.072
- Mohammed death, was killed in that area.
- 00:16:13.072 --> 00:16:15.007
- So i don't put it outside that room,
- 00:16:15.007 --> 00:16:17.142
- But they're there as well.
- 00:16:17.142 --> 00:16:18.410
- Great breakdown, john, as always.
- 00:16:18.410 --> 00:16:19.878
- We'll be right back with this after the break, folks.
- 00:16:19.878 --> 00:16:21.713
- What about those starvation claims?
- 00:16:21.713 --> 00:16:24.349
- Israel intentionally starving the people of gaza?
- 00:16:24.349 --> 00:16:27.219
- It's a genocide, critics say.
- 00:16:27.219 --> 00:16:29.054
- And what's the latest on russia? ukraine.
- 00:16:29.054 --> 00:16:31.056
- You saw the big meeting at the white house on monday.
- 00:16:31.056 --> 00:16:32.791
- More with the world's
- 00:16:32.791 --> 00:16:34.193
- Foremost expert on urban warfare, john spencer.
- 00:16:34.193 --> 00:16:38.363
- Don't move.
- 00:16:38.363 --> 00:16:42.008
- Don't move.
- 00:16:42.008 --> 00:16:44.704
- We'll get back to that.
- 00:16:45.205 --> 00:16:46.272
- But tonight, folks, we're talking to john spencer.
- 00:16:46.272 --> 00:16:47.740
- Be sure to follow john on x and across social media.
- 00:16:47.740 --> 00:16:50.643
- He is a must follow.
- 00:16:50.643 --> 00:16:52.545
- And one reason for that is john consistently debunks
- 00:16:52.545 --> 00:16:56.716
- These false narratives about israel and gaza
- 00:16:56.716 --> 00:16:59.719
- And what's really happening there.
- 00:16:59.719 --> 00:17:01.421
- John, we talked to emily schrader earlier.
- 00:17:01.421 --> 00:17:03.256
- She joined us from tel aviv.
- 00:17:03.256 --> 00:17:04.724
- I want to ask you as well, you've been on the ground
- 00:17:04.724 --> 00:17:06.693
- In gaza. you follow this closely?
- 00:17:06.693 --> 00:17:08.761
- Very closely, of course, these claims that israel
- 00:17:08.761 --> 00:17:12.031
- Is intentionally starving the people of gaza.
- 00:17:12.031 --> 00:17:16.870
- We could go on and on about this, of course, but what
- 00:17:16.870 --> 00:17:19.038
- What's your short take on this?
- 00:17:19.038 --> 00:17:20.874
- And why is the world swallowing this narrative?
- 00:17:20.874 --> 00:17:24.878
- The why the world is swallowing a narrative is very complex.
- 00:17:24.878 --> 00:17:28.214
- And the anti-israel anti-semitism,
- 00:17:28.214 --> 00:17:31.184
- To be honest, many of these groups
- 00:17:31.184 --> 00:17:32.385
- Within the united nations have a record of this.
- 00:17:32.385 --> 00:17:34.821
- But to answer the question is a flat out lie.
- 00:17:34.821 --> 00:17:37.991
- And actually, i'll leave you with proverbs
- 00:17:37.991 --> 00:17:39.893
- 1219 that i follow often to full lips.
- 00:17:39.893 --> 00:17:42.962
- Endure forever, but a lying tongue.
- 00:17:42.962 --> 00:17:46.366
- Last but a moment,
- 00:17:46.366 --> 00:17:47.534
- And i think that's what you're seeing,
- 00:17:47.534 --> 00:17:49.068
- Is that they're not even trying in their lies any more.
- 00:17:49.068 --> 00:17:51.671
- Like the,
- 00:17:51.671 --> 00:17:52.906
- You know, the photographing of children with cerebral palsy
- 00:17:52.906 --> 00:17:55.041
- And then saying, this is the evidence of israel
- 00:17:55.041 --> 00:17:57.310
- Intentionally starving.
- 00:17:57.310 --> 00:17:58.611
- There is somebody intentionally starving gazans in gaza next.
- 00:17:58.611 --> 00:18:02.849
- Hamas. right?
- 00:18:02.849 --> 00:18:03.950
- Nobody tracks the number of food or even how hamas sells
- 00:18:03.950 --> 00:18:07.787
- The free aid back to the people and tries to attack the gaza
- 00:18:07.787 --> 00:18:12.158
- Humanitarian fate foundation, which is doing.
- 00:18:12.158 --> 00:18:14.661
- And i know you've covered a lot of this,
- 00:18:14.661 --> 00:18:16.029
- The lord's work in feeding people directly
- 00:18:16.029 --> 00:18:18.631
- And the things that the people give them.
- 00:18:18.631 --> 00:18:20.500
- But every element of it is just a lie,
- 00:18:20.500 --> 00:18:23.770
- Not truthful to even the story i quoted on this story today,
- 00:18:23.770 --> 00:18:27.106
- Where they're talking about trucks going into gaza
- 00:18:27.106 --> 00:18:29.776
- Being stopped for a certain
- 00:18:29.776 --> 00:18:30.977
- Reason, and the news agency never felt to ask the
- 00:18:30.977 --> 00:18:34.747
- Whoever was saying that it was stopping,
- 00:18:34.747 --> 00:18:36.583
- Like the cogat or any other organization.
- 00:18:36.583 --> 00:18:39.786
- And one guess you had on said he doesn't know
- 00:18:39.786 --> 00:18:43.189
- If there's anybody else.
- 00:18:43.189 --> 00:18:44.357
- Well, i can say as an analyst and i wrote this paper,
- 00:18:44.357 --> 00:18:47.126
- There has never been a military in the history who has fed
- 00:18:47.126 --> 00:18:50.964
- The enemy's population during the battle, during the war,
- 00:18:50.964 --> 00:18:54.801
- Especially when they're all holding hostages and
- 00:18:54.801 --> 00:18:57.770
- And making statements about being committed to doing more.
- 00:18:57.770 --> 00:19:00.440
- October 7th, not world war one, to create no war.
- 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:04.277
- Ever have we ever fed israel the enemy's population
- 00:19:04.277 --> 00:19:08.348
- In the midst of the battle, and they get no credit for that?
- 00:19:08.348 --> 00:19:11.317
- None, john so well said all around.
- 00:19:11.317 --> 00:19:14.320
- Hey, speaking of global hotspots,
- 00:19:14.320 --> 00:19:16.089
- We've got the middle east,
- 00:19:16.089 --> 00:19:17.156
- Of course, in gaza, russia, ukraine, it continues.
- 00:19:17.156 --> 00:19:20.994
- But big meeting on monday, president trump
- 00:19:20.994 --> 00:19:23.029
- With world leaders at the white house,
- 00:19:23.029 --> 00:19:25.665
- Prospects for peace there
- 00:19:25.665 --> 00:19:27.700
- Because of president trump's peace through strength strategy,
- 00:19:27.700 --> 00:19:30.970
- Prospects for peace, they're possibly growing nearer.
- 00:19:30.970 --> 00:19:34.407
- How do you see it?
- 00:19:34.407 --> 00:19:36.109
- Well, if anything, the president,
- 00:19:36.876 --> 00:19:38.211
- Like he has in many other cases, will exhaust all means
- 00:19:38.211 --> 00:19:41.547
- To get to a peaceful resolution.
- 00:19:41.547 --> 00:19:44.384
- The european leaders said that nobody else.
- 00:19:44.384 --> 00:19:46.719
- The strategy of just giving ukraine enough arms,
- 00:19:46.719 --> 00:19:50.590
- Just not to lose wasn't going to work and was bleeding.
- 00:19:50.590 --> 00:19:54.861
- Ukrainians dry who had who are fighting for their freedom.
- 00:19:54.861 --> 00:19:57.797
- And we can talk about the misinformation of not even like,
- 00:19:57.797 --> 00:20:00.867
- You know, how russia takes
- 00:20:00.867 --> 00:20:02.068
- Tens of thousands of kids out of ukraine and gives them
- 00:20:02.068 --> 00:20:04.971
- And up for russian adoption,
- 00:20:04.971 --> 00:20:06.773
- They'll never know they're ukrainian.
- 00:20:06.773 --> 00:20:08.308
- But the president has moved this closer towards.
- 00:20:08.308 --> 00:20:11.210
- But in war, there's always uncertainty
- 00:20:11.210 --> 00:20:13.613
- And there is absolutely apprehension to putin
- 00:20:13.613 --> 00:20:17.550
- Agreeing to any reasonable end of the conflict
- 00:20:17.550 --> 00:20:21.154
- Because of what he's actually said.
- 00:20:21.154 --> 00:20:23.089
- He is in ukraine for any.
- 00:20:23.089 --> 00:20:25.091
- It's changed a couple times.
- 00:20:25.091 --> 00:20:26.592
- But to be clear on what it is for, i'm, i'm, i'm hopeful
- 00:20:26.592 --> 00:20:30.830
- The parts about the security guarantees
- 00:20:30.830 --> 00:20:33.399
- That ukraine
- 00:20:33.399 --> 00:20:34.400
- And the european leaders are sure
- 00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:36.169
- That need to be in place no matter what happens,
- 00:20:36.169 --> 00:20:38.771
- So that russia, like it did in the invasion of georgia,
- 00:20:38.771 --> 00:20:42.742
- Taken up crimea and other locations just doesn't
- 00:20:42.742 --> 00:20:45.044
- Wait a couple of years and then keep on driving with it.
- 00:20:45.044 --> 00:20:48.581
- Illegal.
- 00:20:48.848 --> 00:20:49.816
- And we want to talk about international norms,
- 00:20:49.816 --> 00:20:51.417
- Illegal invasions of other territories.
- 00:20:51.417 --> 00:20:54.253
- Just taking trying to make. might is right.
- 00:20:54.253 --> 00:20:56.756
- Yeah. john.
- 00:20:56.756 --> 00:20:57.690
- Well said again. hey about a minute left.
- 00:20:57.690 --> 00:20:59.892
- President trump's talked a lot
- 00:20:59.892 --> 00:21:01.060
- About the cost of that war between russia and ukraine.
- 00:21:01.060 --> 00:21:04.030
- John, do we have any idea of of the tally of casualties
- 00:21:04.030 --> 00:21:07.367
- On the ukrainian and the russian side, in this war?
- 00:21:07.367 --> 00:21:11.304
- No, we actually don't
- 00:21:11.804 --> 00:21:13.773
- I mean, we have figures and estimates,
- 00:21:13.773 --> 00:21:15.608
- But the actual true number, it's,
- 00:21:15.608 --> 00:21:17.143
- You know, of course, it's over a million.
- 00:21:17.143 --> 00:21:18.878
- You know, they think it's around a million russian and 400 to,
- 00:21:18.878 --> 00:21:22.382
- You know, 600,000 ukrainians.
- 00:21:22.382 --> 00:21:25.184
- The estimates are all over the place.
- 00:21:25.184 --> 00:21:26.352
- It's a giant loss of life.
- 00:21:26.352 --> 00:21:28.654
- But you have one side fighting for a just reason.
- 00:21:28.654 --> 00:21:31.224
- Survival. yeah. freedom.
- 00:21:31.224 --> 00:21:32.992
- You know, things that we all value in any of our societies.
- 00:21:32.992 --> 00:21:37.029
- And the other side, doing it for aggression,
- 00:21:37.029 --> 00:21:39.198
- For conquest, for subjugating another people.
- 00:21:39.198 --> 00:21:42.402
- John. great breakdown as always, folks.
- 00:21:42.402 --> 00:21:43.970
- Again, be sure to follow john on x across social media.
- 00:21:43.970 --> 00:21:46.506
- Keep up the great work john.
- 00:21:46.506 --> 00:21:47.707
- God bless. we'll see you again soon.
- 00:21:47.707 --> 00:21:49.075
- And coming up after the break, john mentioned truth.
- 00:21:49.075 --> 00:21:51.778
- We're going to break down a bit that a bit more
- 00:21:51.778 --> 00:21:53.846
- What the bible says about that, how it applies to
- 00:21:53.846 --> 00:21:55.948
- What's happening in gaza right now. that's next.
- 00:21:55.948 --> 00:21:58.785
- Stick around.
- 00:21:58.785 --> 00:22:02.015
- Stick around.
- 00:22:02.015 --> 00:22:04.299
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
- 00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:06.868
- As we wrap up here, we've been talking
- 00:22:06.868 --> 00:22:08.336
- About the collapse of the west, not all of the west.
- 00:22:08.336 --> 00:22:11.072
- We're seeing some amazing things here in the united states.
- 00:22:11.072 --> 00:22:13.241
- Obviously under president trump.
- 00:22:13.241 --> 00:22:15.110
- But these weak woke feckless leaders in the uk,
- 00:22:15.110 --> 00:22:18.480
- France, australia, of course, as we showed
- 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:20.649
- You night and canada recognizing a palestinian state
- 00:22:20.649 --> 00:22:24.686
- Against all common sense and moral clarity,
- 00:22:24.686 --> 00:22:27.522
- It makes me think of first john chapter four, verse six.
- 00:22:27.522 --> 00:22:30.525
- We are from god.
- 00:22:30.525 --> 00:22:31.626
- John says, and whoever knows god listens to us, but
- 00:22:31.626 --> 00:22:35.163
- Whoever is not from god does not listen to us.
- 00:22:35.163 --> 00:22:38.600
- This is how
- 00:22:38.600 --> 00:22:39.835
- We recognize the spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
- 00:22:39.835 --> 00:22:43.738
- And you wonder why these so-called leaders in the west
- 00:22:43.738 --> 00:22:47.609
- Today are falling for the false narratives surrounding gaza
- 00:22:47.609 --> 00:22:51.847
- And israel.
- 00:22:51.847 --> 00:22:52.747
- When you abandoned judeo-christian values
- 00:22:52.747 --> 00:22:55.517
- And what built
- 00:22:55.517 --> 00:22:56.685
- Western civilization, then you lose your moral compass.
- 00:22:56.685 --> 00:23:00.422
- So none of this is a surprise.
- 00:23:00.422 --> 00:23:02.157
- But again, we've got moral clarity back in the white house.
- 00:23:02.157 --> 00:23:05.026
- So be encouraged about that and keep it on prayer.
- 00:23:05.026 --> 00:23:08.096
- Of course.
- 00:23:08.096 --> 00:23:08.797
- Pray for the peace of jerusalem.
- 00:23:08.797 --> 00:23:10.732
- Hey, tomorrow night
- 00:23:10.732 --> 00:23:11.933
- Lucas miles is with us again talking about the challenges
- 00:23:11.933 --> 00:23:14.636
- We face in the west and how to turn it around.
- 00:23:14.636 --> 00:23:17.272
- Until then, god bless you and we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:17.272 --> 00:23:17.272
