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: Confronting Evil | Stakelbeck Tonight | May 13, 2026
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:03.193 --> 00:00:04.727
- I'm erick stakelbeck.
- 00:00:04.727 --> 00:00:05.795
- And when you're the leader of the free world.
- 00:00:05.795 --> 00:00:08.598
- You should command respect.
- 00:00:08.598 --> 00:00:11.167
- And that's exactly what president trump received today.
- 00:00:11.167 --> 00:00:13.403
- Upon his arrival in beijing
- 00:00:13.403 --> 00:00:15.205
- For an historic summit with chinese leader xi jinping.
- 00:00:15.205 --> 00:00:18.908
- Trump stepped off air force one with secretary of state
- 00:00:18.908 --> 00:00:22.145
- Marco rubio, war secretary pete hegseth and a number
- 00:00:22.145 --> 00:00:25.949
- Of top american ceos, including elon musk.
- 00:00:25.949 --> 00:00:29.686
- And the chai coms literally rolled out the red carpet.
- 00:00:29.686 --> 00:00:33.890
- Watch.
- 00:00:34.090 --> 00:01:06.556
- Wow.
- 00:01:06.756 --> 00:01:07.557
- Now, given that china is america's
- 00:01:07.557 --> 00:01:09.559
- Number one geopolitical competitor
- 00:01:09.559 --> 00:01:12.295
- And on the other side of us
- 00:01:12.295 --> 00:01:13.530
- On virtually every issue, that's a very warm welcome.
- 00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:17.233
- That's what strong, decisive leadership gets you.
- 00:01:17.233 --> 00:01:20.570
- President trump has displayed
- 00:01:20.570 --> 00:01:21.871
- Exactly that since retaking office.
- 00:01:21.871 --> 00:01:23.940
- And it's put our adversaries like china on notice.
- 00:01:23.940 --> 00:01:28.344
- Trump's talks with ge will address iran trade deals,
- 00:01:28.344 --> 00:01:31.848
- Taiwan ai and a number of other important issues.
- 00:01:31.848 --> 00:01:35.985
- But folks, here's the key point.
- 00:01:35.985 --> 00:01:38.254
- Trump has all the leverage.
- 00:01:38.254 --> 00:01:40.723
- His recent moves against china's allies in venezuela and iran,
- 00:01:40.723 --> 00:01:44.160
- And in strategic waterways like the strait of hormuz
- 00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:47.730
- And the malacca strait,
- 00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:49.232
- Threaten to cut china off from its most important sources
- 00:01:49.232 --> 00:01:52.802
- Of oil.
- 00:01:52.802 --> 00:01:54.037
- Beijing's communist regime can try to help its iranian allies,
- 00:01:54.037 --> 00:01:57.807
- But then trump can just slap on tariffs and sanctions.
- 00:01:57.807 --> 00:02:01.911
- Now, the president would like a less
- 00:02:01.911 --> 00:02:03.213
- Confrontational relationship
- 00:02:03.213 --> 00:02:04.781
- With china. that's a major reason
- 00:02:04.781 --> 00:02:06.649
- He was accompanied by all those ceos.
- 00:02:06.649 --> 00:02:09.152
- But he's ensuring that the united states always
- 00:02:09.152 --> 00:02:12.088
- Remains in the driver's seat in that relationship.
- 00:02:12.088 --> 00:02:15.692
- Peace through strength.
- 00:02:15.692 --> 00:02:18.061
- Now, another topic that's sure to come up in talks
- 00:02:18.061 --> 00:02:20.730
- Is china's continued espionage on american soil.
- 00:02:20.730 --> 00:02:24.901
- Have you heard about this story out of california?
- 00:02:24.901 --> 00:02:27.870
- Eileen wang, the democrat mayor of arcadia,
- 00:02:27.870 --> 00:02:30.907
- Just outside los angeles, resigned on monday.
- 00:02:30.907 --> 00:02:34.344
- She's facing federal charges
- 00:02:34.344 --> 00:02:36.212
- For acting as an illegal agent for the chinese government.
- 00:02:36.212 --> 00:02:40.383
- The department of justice says wang
- 00:02:40.383 --> 00:02:42.085
- Will plead guilty to the charges.
- 00:02:42.085 --> 00:02:44.153
- She was allegedly working with a network of chinese
- 00:02:44.153 --> 00:02:47.023
- Agents on american soil and again,
- 00:02:47.023 --> 00:02:50.393
- She was an elected public official, a mayor.
- 00:02:50.393 --> 00:02:53.496
- Time to wake up.
- 00:02:53.896 --> 00:02:55.198
- But when it comes to wake up calls,
- 00:02:55.198 --> 00:02:57.033
- No one does it better than bill o'reilly.
- 00:02:57.033 --> 00:02:59.769
- He joins us next.
- 00:02:59.769 --> 00:03:18.621
- There's a gathering storm
- 00:03:19.188 --> 00:03:21.324
- Against america led by communist china and iran.
- 00:03:21.324 --> 00:03:25.261
- And president trump is meeting it head on.
- 00:03:25.261 --> 00:03:28.031
- He's currently in china, where he's holding
- 00:03:28.031 --> 00:03:29.766
- Crucial meetings this week with jie jingping.
- 00:03:29.766 --> 00:03:31.968
- And he may soon restart military action against iran's regime.
- 00:03:31.968 --> 00:03:36.806
- Joining me now
- 00:03:37.140 --> 00:03:38.041
- To break down the state of play abroad
- 00:03:38.041 --> 00:03:39.442
- And here at home, and why it matters to you
- 00:03:39.442 --> 00:03:41.811
- Is the one and only bill o'reilly, host of the no spin
- 00:03:41.811 --> 00:03:44.747

- 00:03:44.747 --> 00:03:48.151
- Seen by millions on youtube every day.
- 00:03:48.151 --> 00:03:50.753
- He's also a number one new york times
- 00:03:50.753 --> 00:03:52.488
- Bestselling author many times over.
- 00:03:52.488 --> 00:03:54.457
- You can check out all of his great work
- 00:03:54.457 --> 00:03:56.125
- At bill o'reilly dot com.
- 00:03:56.125 --> 00:03:57.694
- Bill, great to see you.
- 00:03:57.694 --> 00:03:59.462
- Hey, you speak to president trump frequently.
- 00:03:59.462 --> 00:04:01.798
- You visited china last year and met with chinese leaders.
- 00:04:01.798 --> 00:04:05.335
- What's your sense of this meeting this week, bill?
- 00:04:05.335 --> 00:04:07.337
- The opportunities, dangers?
- 00:04:07.337 --> 00:04:09.972
- What is president trump facing as he goes to beijing?
- 00:04:09.972 --> 00:04:14.043
- Well, the primary thing
- 00:04:14.544 --> 00:04:16.145
- They're trying to accomplish, is a trade situation.
- 00:04:16.145 --> 00:04:21.784
- Erick, which is why they're bringing
- 00:04:21.784 --> 00:04:23.519
- In 16 american ceos over to beijing.
- 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:28.024
- They want to formalize,
- 00:04:28.524 --> 00:04:30.960
- A bunch of different trade arrangements.
- 00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:34.530
- Because that's what the chinese need.
- 00:04:35.264 --> 00:04:37.767
- Their economy is kind of wavering.
- 00:04:37.767 --> 00:04:39.635
- It's an export economy.
- 00:04:39.635 --> 00:04:41.938
- All the chaos in the world does not help china.
- 00:04:41.938 --> 00:04:45.241
- So the trump administration's going to try
- 00:04:45.241 --> 00:04:48.544
- To get some trade deals that would help both countries.
- 00:04:48.544 --> 00:04:51.981
- And in the meantime,
- 00:04:51.981 --> 00:04:54.283
- On the sly saying, hey, you need to
- 00:04:54.283 --> 00:04:56.853
- Help us out with iran because they're causing disorder
- 00:04:56.853 --> 00:05:00.790
- All over the world, which is true.
- 00:05:00.790 --> 00:05:03.025
- So that's the bigger picture.
- 00:05:03.025 --> 00:05:05.161
- Yeah.
- 00:05:05.161 --> 00:05:06.162
- The iran factor bill, you've said, look, it's
- 00:05:06.162 --> 00:05:07.296
- A lot more complicated today than it was a year ago.
- 00:05:07.296 --> 00:05:09.866
- Us-china relations and iran,
- 00:05:09.866 --> 00:05:11.701
- The regime is the main reason for that.
- 00:05:11.701 --> 00:05:14.003
- They supply a lot of communist china's oil.
- 00:05:14.003 --> 00:05:16.506
- What can china do, bill?
- 00:05:16.506 --> 00:05:18.040
- And how willing will the regime in beijing be to help out
- 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:22.345
- On iran?
- 00:05:22.345 --> 00:05:23.646
- Can't predict the chinese.
- 00:05:24.213 --> 00:05:27.016
- It's to their benefit that they help us, but
- 00:05:27.016 --> 00:05:30.086
- They have their own agenda.
- 00:05:30.086 --> 00:05:33.723
- So, they buy 20% of iran's oil.
- 00:05:33.723 --> 00:05:39.128
- And if they stop buying that oil and say they bought from us
- 00:05:39.128 --> 00:05:42.765
- Because we have,
- 00:05:43.166 --> 00:05:44.200
- We are exporting oil now, if you can believe it,
- 00:05:44.200 --> 00:05:46.636
- With all the high oil prices in the usa from coast to coast.
- 00:05:46.636 --> 00:05:50.773
- We are sending oil to other countries.
- 00:05:50.773 --> 00:05:53.943
- Yeah, that does not help the retail price of oil here.
- 00:05:53.943 --> 00:05:58.714
- But that's what the big oil companies are doing.
- 00:05:58.714 --> 00:06:01.951
- So we can certainly send oil to china.
- 00:06:01.951 --> 00:06:04.620
- That may be part of the trade arrangement
- 00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:07.890
- Because if iran loses that market, then
- 00:06:07.890 --> 00:06:10.827
- It just continues to spiral down economically.
- 00:06:10.827 --> 00:06:15.331
- Yeah, they're losing up
- 00:06:15.331 --> 00:06:16.532
- To $500 million a day as the us naval blockade is ongoing.
- 00:06:16.532 --> 00:06:20.736
- Speaking of the communist regime in beijing
- 00:06:20.736 --> 00:06:23.473
- Being unpredictable, taiwan bill, is it
- 00:06:23.473 --> 00:06:26.742
- Your sense that china is serious about this, about
- 00:06:26.742 --> 00:06:30.546
- Conquering taiwan, essentially in the long term?
- 00:06:30.546 --> 00:06:33.382
- Perhaps in the short term, who knows?
- 00:06:33.382 --> 00:06:35.117
- But they're serious about this. and what can we do?
- 00:06:35.117 --> 00:06:37.687
- What messaging should we send?
- 00:06:37.687 --> 00:06:39.722
- Should the president send about taiwan to the communist regime?
- 00:06:39.722 --> 00:06:46.496
- In, 2049, it'll
- 00:06:46.863 --> 00:06:49.765
- Be 100 years since mao zedong
- 00:06:49.765 --> 00:06:52.869
- Took over china, and the chinese have vowed that
- 00:06:52.869 --> 00:06:57.206
- They want the flag, their flag flying over that island nation.
- 00:06:57.206 --> 00:07:01.377
- She is crazed.
- 00:07:01.711 --> 00:07:03.179
- This is his main issue.
- 00:07:03.179 --> 00:07:05.248
- It's almost like trump with the border and migrants.
- 00:07:05.248 --> 00:07:08.718
- She's issue is taiwan.
- 00:07:08.718 --> 00:07:11.120
- So i don't know.
- 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:12.121
- I can't tell you exactly what
- 00:07:12.121 --> 00:07:14.390
- President trump's point of view is on this.
- 00:07:14.390 --> 00:07:16.559
- I did talk to the president on sunday, but i don't
- 00:07:16.559 --> 00:07:20.429
- Press him on things like that because they have a plan.
- 00:07:20.429 --> 00:07:24.066
- But if it were me, i would open talks about taiwan,
- 00:07:24.066 --> 00:07:29.305
- Which would include the taiwanese government.
- 00:07:29.305 --> 00:07:32.408
- You got to understand something.
- 00:07:33.042 --> 00:07:34.210
- And china just can't go in and take over
- 00:07:34.210 --> 00:07:38.581
- Taiwan like putin try to do with ukraine,
- 00:07:38.581 --> 00:07:41.918
- Because the world would revolt against china
- 00:07:41.918 --> 00:07:45.087
- And it would the disorder.
- 00:07:45.087 --> 00:07:46.856
- And that's their main thing.
- 00:07:46.856 --> 00:07:48.457
- They want to order
- 00:07:48.457 --> 00:07:49.625
- Economic disorder would just be unbelievable.
- 00:07:49.625 --> 00:07:52.962
- Plus, the taiwanese will fight
- 00:07:52.962 --> 00:07:55.531
- And they
- 00:07:55.798 --> 00:07:56.999
- Have much more powerful weapons than the ukrainians have.
- 00:07:56.999 --> 00:07:59.702
- Yeah.
- 00:07:59.936 --> 00:08:00.903
- So that's no cakewalk for china to go in there
- 00:08:00.903 --> 00:08:03.906
- And try to seize the island militarily.
- 00:08:03.906 --> 00:08:07.510
- But you can't open talks about,
- 00:08:07.510 --> 00:08:10.746
- How to govern,
- 00:08:10.746 --> 00:08:12.648
- You know, what might be possible there.
- 00:08:12.648 --> 00:08:15.952
- And that's what i would do to try to tell xi.
- 00:08:15.952 --> 00:08:19.622
- Look, we're not unreasonable here.
- 00:08:19.622 --> 00:08:22.291
- Would try to work with you.
- 00:08:22.291 --> 00:08:24.961
- But trump can't just say, hey, there's taiwan, take it.
- 00:08:24.961 --> 00:08:28.831
- Yeah.
- 00:08:28.831 --> 00:08:30.032
- Because that would be perceived as unbelievable weakness,
- 00:08:30.032 --> 00:08:32.935
- By america all around the world.
- 00:08:32.935 --> 00:08:34.470
- And trump knows that. yeah, it would embolden evil.
- 00:08:34.470 --> 00:08:36.706
- And by the way,
- 00:08:36.706 --> 00:08:37.707
- You wrote a great book, bill, recently called
- 00:08:37.707 --> 00:08:38.741
- Confronting evil, where you featured
- 00:08:38.741 --> 00:08:40.509
- One of the tyrants in the book was mao zedong,
- 00:08:40.509 --> 00:08:43.813
- One of the notorious leaders of the regime in beijing.
- 00:08:43.813 --> 00:08:47.583
- So you have a window into this regime.
- 00:08:47.583 --> 00:08:49.018
- You were there again
- 00:08:49.018 --> 00:08:49.619
- Last year
- 00:08:49.619 --> 00:08:50.686
- Meeting with chinese leaders about a minute left,
- 00:08:50.686 --> 00:08:52.455
- And we bring you right back, bill.
- 00:08:52.455 --> 00:08:53.823
- The i race on the table.
- 00:08:53.823 --> 00:08:56.492
- Is china playing fair when it comes to i?
- 00:08:56.492 --> 00:09:00.129
- Of course not.
- 00:09:00.463 --> 00:09:01.464
- Just stealing what they can steal.
- 00:09:01.464 --> 00:09:03.032
- Yeah,
- 00:09:03.032 --> 00:09:04.100
- But that's been going on for decades and nobody's
- 00:09:04.100 --> 00:09:06.402
- Going to stop it.
- 00:09:06.402 --> 00:09:07.837
- So i don't know what you do.
- 00:09:07.837 --> 00:09:10.473
- You can say, hey,
- 00:09:10.473 --> 00:09:12.141
- You know,
- 00:09:12.141 --> 00:09:12.575
- It'd be nice
- 00:09:12.575 --> 00:09:13.676
- If you stop stealing our technology and the chinese.
- 00:09:13.676 --> 00:09:16.412
- The golf course will stop.
- 00:09:16.412 --> 00:09:17.913
- Yeah, yeah, it's too often. it's how they govern.
- 00:09:17.913 --> 00:09:20.349
- Yeah. yeah.
- 00:09:20.349 --> 00:09:21.417
- We must take over in. in the sense that. right.
- 00:09:21.417 --> 00:09:23.819
- We want to be the most powerful nation on earth.
- 00:09:23.819 --> 00:09:25.921
- We want to displace the united states.
- 00:09:25.921 --> 00:09:28.224
- We need this technology. we're going to steal it.
- 00:09:28.224 --> 00:09:30.893
- And there's nothing anybody can do about it.
- 00:09:30.893 --> 00:09:32.795
- Yeah, and the ai train has left the station.
- 00:09:32.795 --> 00:09:35.164
- It's here to stay.
- 00:09:35.164 --> 00:09:36.032
- And president trump seems
- 00:09:36.032 --> 00:09:36.966
- Committed to staying one step ahead in that
- 00:09:36.966 --> 00:09:39.101
- I arms race more with bill o'reilly after the break.
- 00:09:39.101 --> 00:09:42.638
- What about iran?
- 00:09:42.638 --> 00:09:43.673
- The latest on the war against the terror regime
- 00:09:43.673 --> 00:09:46.776
- Folks, check out bill, bill o'reilly, dot com, youtube

- More with bill o'reilly after the break. stick around.
- 00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:57.005
- More with bill o'reilly after the break. stick around.
- 00:09:57.005 --> 00:09:59.888
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight
- 00:10:00.622 --> 00:10:02.223
- We're talking to bill o'reilly,
- 00:10:02.223 --> 00:10:03.291
- Host of the no spin news podcast,
- 00:10:03.291 --> 00:10:05.226
- And the will do it live podcast seen by millions across youtube
- 00:10:05.226 --> 00:10:08.963
- Over there right now folks. and subscribe.
- 00:10:08.963 --> 00:10:11.700
- Bill, i think of president trump,
- 00:10:11.700 --> 00:10:13.101
- His strategy, his approach to iran's regime.
- 00:10:13.101 --> 00:10:15.503
- Look, you can check it out on youtube x the clips 1980,
- 00:10:15.503 --> 00:10:19.607
- 87, 88.
- 00:10:19.607 --> 00:10:21.176
- He was talking about confronting iran's regime,
- 00:10:21.176 --> 00:10:23.878
- Even mentioning kharg island 40 years ago.
- 00:10:23.878 --> 00:10:27.082
- Do you get the sense of president
- 00:10:27.082 --> 00:10:28.416
- Trump had a long term strategy or vision
- 00:10:28.416 --> 00:10:31.119
- Look in his first term, taking out soleimani,
- 00:10:31.119 --> 00:10:33.655
- Pulling out of that disastrous iran nuclear deal.
- 00:10:33.655 --> 00:10:35.824
- Now it's all kind of coming to fruition
- 00:10:35.824 --> 00:10:37.959
- With operation epic fury.
- 00:10:37.959 --> 00:10:39.694
- Is that your sense that trump has seen this,
- 00:10:39.694 --> 00:10:41.930
- The iranian threat, as a major threat
- 00:10:41.930 --> 00:10:44.065
- For a long, long time and is planning to take action?
- 00:10:44.065 --> 00:10:48.369
- Well, he sees the
- 00:10:48.803 --> 00:10:50.839
- Situation as untenable because of the nukes.
- 00:10:50.839 --> 00:10:55.443
- If iran would give up their nukes
- 00:10:55.443 --> 00:10:57.746
- And have weapons inspectors
- 00:10:57.746 --> 00:10:59.080
- Go in there, they could solve this thing.
- 00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:01.416
- Yeah.
- 00:11:01.416 --> 00:11:02.417
- Iran's a terror nation.
- 00:11:02.417 --> 00:11:03.551
- We all know that.
- 00:11:03.551 --> 00:11:05.720
- It's in business to, push its version of islam.
- 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.591
- There are horrible murderers, we all know,
- 00:11:09.591 --> 00:11:13.061
- But it's the nuke thing that's got the president worried.
- 00:11:13.061 --> 00:11:16.998
- It's funny
- 00:11:16.998 --> 00:11:18.233
- To hear the democratic party go, well, barack obama solve that?
- 00:11:18.233 --> 00:11:21.936
- Well, he didn't solve it then. that's ridiculous.
- 00:11:21.936 --> 00:11:24.139
- We solved it.
- 00:11:24.139 --> 00:11:26.074
- Then why wouldn't the iranians just say, hey,
- 00:11:26.074 --> 00:11:28.476
- Bring on, inspectors?
- 00:11:28.476 --> 00:11:30.311
- We already solved this problem, right?
- 00:11:30.311 --> 00:11:32.480
- Yeah.
- 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:33.815
- But of course they won't.
- 00:11:33.815 --> 00:11:35.784
- And so,
- 00:11:35.784 --> 00:11:38.119
- What you have is an opportunity
- 00:11:38.119 --> 00:11:41.222
- That mossad, the israelis, provided president trump
- 00:11:41.222 --> 00:11:45.460
- Take out the leadership of iran, which it did.
- 00:11:45.460 --> 00:11:49.497
- And the hope
- 00:11:49.831 --> 00:11:50.965
- Was that the persian people would rise up
- 00:11:50.965 --> 00:11:54.169
- And become a civilized nation again.
- 00:11:54.169 --> 00:11:56.871
- Yeah, that hope is not happened.
- 00:11:56.871 --> 00:12:00.208
- That's the problem that donald trump is dealing with now.
- 00:12:00.208 --> 00:12:04.012
- So the expectation was not met because the persians
- 00:12:04.012 --> 00:12:07.715
- Didn't rise up.
- 00:12:07.715 --> 00:12:09.117
- Now, you can say they're executing persians like crazy.
- 00:12:09.117 --> 00:12:13.221
- And they are. yeah.
- 00:12:13.221 --> 00:12:15.256
- But in any revolution,
- 00:12:15.256 --> 00:12:16.424
- Including our own, you're going to lose people.
- 00:12:16.424 --> 00:12:18.860
- Yeah.
- 00:12:18.860 --> 00:12:19.828
- But it doesn't seem like the iranian people
- 00:12:19.828 --> 00:12:22.730
- Value their freedom more than their security.
- 00:12:22.730 --> 00:12:26.267
- Yeah, and the prayer is, like you said,
- 00:12:26.267 --> 00:12:27.902
- They will rise up eventually.
- 00:12:27.902 --> 00:12:29.571
- But look,
- 00:12:29.571 --> 00:12:30.505
- You mentioned democrats, bill, many saying
- 00:12:30.505 --> 00:12:31.773
- It's a quagmire in iran, even though it's been eight weeks.
- 00:12:31.773 --> 00:12:34.609
- I think
- 00:12:34.609 --> 00:12:35.844
- Tensions rising on capitol hill over the direction of the war,
- 00:12:35.844 --> 00:12:38.279
- Especially as this
- 00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:39.414
- Fragile ceasefire continues to barely hold.
- 00:12:39.414 --> 00:12:42.483
- During a senate hearing yesterday,
- 00:12:42.483 --> 00:12:43.818
- Democrat senator chris coons said the u.s.
- 00:12:43.818 --> 00:12:45.987
- Could be facing what he called a strategic loss.
- 00:12:45.987 --> 00:12:49.490
- That didn't sit well with secretary of war pete hegseth.
- 00:12:49.490 --> 00:12:52.527
- Take a look.
- 00:12:52.527 --> 00:12:53.628
- My concern, mr.
- 00:12:53.628 --> 00:12:54.796
- Secretary,
- 00:12:54.796 --> 00:12:55.897
- Is that you've achieved a series of tactical successes
- 00:12:55.897 --> 00:12:58.533
- But are on the verge of a strategic loss
- 00:12:58.533 --> 00:13:01.302
- Because we are now negotiating just to get so foolish.
- 00:13:01.302 --> 00:13:04.072
- Here we are in a committee
- 00:13:04.072 --> 00:13:05.006
- In the united states senate, 74 days in.
- 00:13:05.006 --> 00:13:07.542
- And you're talking about strategic loss.
- 00:13:07.542 --> 00:13:09.577
- We have the ability to, for 47 years, threat
- 00:13:09.577 --> 00:13:12.881
- Of a pursuit of a nuclear weapon.
- 00:13:12.881 --> 00:13:14.515
- We have more leverage than we've ever had.
- 00:13:14.515 --> 00:13:16.517
- We've had incredible battlefield successes.
- 00:13:16.517 --> 00:13:18.653
- And you're talking about a strategic loss.
- 00:13:18.653 --> 00:13:21.022
- I mean, disingenuous questions.
- 00:13:21.022 --> 00:13:23.291
- Mr.. this is how you honor creatures
- 00:13:23.291 --> 00:13:25.860
- That could otherwise and are otherwise.
- 00:13:25.860 --> 00:13:27.262
- I am not your enemy, sir. i am not your adversary.
- 00:13:27.262 --> 00:13:31.499
- Bill, it seems to me that we have a golden opportunity
- 00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:35.603
- To decisively deal with a threat that dates back nearly
- 00:13:35.603 --> 00:13:39.707
- Half a century. how do you see that?
- 00:13:39.707 --> 00:13:42.110
- Do you think this is is a do or die now, with iran's regime
- 00:13:42.110 --> 00:13:45.513
- And weakening them for the long term?
- 00:13:45.513 --> 00:13:48.883
- Well, i have advantages in iran because they don't care about
- 00:13:48.883 --> 00:13:51.619
- Their own people. they don't care about who dies.
- 00:13:51.619 --> 00:13:54.322
- They don't care about anything like that.
- 00:13:54.322 --> 00:13:56.524
- And that's unusual for a country.
- 00:13:56.524 --> 00:13:58.626
- And they also want advantage
- 00:13:58.626 --> 00:13:59.861
- Because the american people are suffering at the,
- 00:13:59.861 --> 00:14:03.131
- Grocery store and the gas station.
- 00:14:03.131 --> 00:14:05.667
- It's up to, secretary haig said to, dash those advantages down,
- 00:14:05.667 --> 00:14:11.039
- Which i think he did pretty good with coons.
- 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:14.442
- And it says there, look,
- 00:14:14.442 --> 00:14:16.511
- We are, in a position now
- 00:14:16.511 --> 00:14:20.214
- To win this thing, but a lot of americans don't believe that.
- 00:14:20.214 --> 00:14:23.751
- And i don't blame those americans
- 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:29.190
- Because you have a situation that is just undefined.
- 00:14:29.190 --> 00:14:34.062
- So you got to figure something's going to happen pretty soon.
- 00:14:34.062 --> 00:14:38.299
- And the other thing is that president trump
- 00:14:39.167 --> 00:14:40.735
- Does not want to kill 200,000 civilians, right?
- 00:14:40.735 --> 00:14:46.641
- Which is what would happen if we go in the carpet,
- 00:14:46.641 --> 00:14:49.077
- Bombed the place and knocked out their communication centers
- 00:14:49.077 --> 00:14:52.380
- And, do other very aggressive military, campaigns.
- 00:14:52.380 --> 00:14:57.051
- You're going to kill a lot of people.
- 00:14:57.051 --> 00:14:59.420
- Yeah. he doesn't want to do that.
- 00:14:59.420 --> 00:15:01.255
- Yeah. bill. great point.
- 00:15:01.255 --> 00:15:02.457
- I mean, look,
- 00:15:02.457 --> 00:15:03.725
- If the iranian people do rise up, he wants to leave something,
- 00:15:03.725 --> 00:15:06.394
- Some infrastructure for them to build a functioning country.
- 00:15:06.394 --> 00:15:09.831
- Hey, about 30s left.
- 00:15:09.831 --> 00:15:11.599
- The ideology.
- 00:15:11.599 --> 00:15:12.667
- We talked about mao earlier in your great book,
- 00:15:12.667 --> 00:15:14.669
- Confronting evil, delved into him.
- 00:15:14.669 --> 00:15:16.304
- You also delved into the ayatollah khomeini,
- 00:15:16.304 --> 00:15:18.339
- The founder of this current regime, way back in 1979.
- 00:15:18.339 --> 00:15:22.010
- Bill, the ideology of this regime,
- 00:15:22.010 --> 00:15:24.679
- They won't surrender unconditionally
- 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:26.748
- As president trump has demanded, because at the end of the day,
- 00:15:26.748 --> 00:15:29.283
- It seems they're driven by this apocalyptic jihadist ideology.
- 00:15:29.283 --> 00:15:34.355
- How do you see that?
- 00:15:34.355 --> 00:15:35.390
- They're not surrendering
- 00:15:35.390 --> 00:15:36.457
- Because they feel that they can wait us out,
- 00:15:36.457 --> 00:15:40.528
- That the american people will change,
- 00:15:41.329 --> 00:15:44.265
- Administrations in november,
- 00:15:44.265 --> 00:15:46.334
- Congress will go to the democrats,
- 00:15:46.334 --> 00:15:48.503
- And the mullahs are sitting there going to.
- 00:15:48.503 --> 00:15:49.904
- All we got to do is wait, and they'll learn.
- 00:15:49.904 --> 00:15:53.541
- American people will change it, and then they'll, not be
- 00:15:53.541 --> 00:15:57.078
- As stringent on us.
- 00:15:57.078 --> 00:15:58.646
- I think that's the calculation.
- 00:15:58.646 --> 00:16:00.481
- Play out the string like they've been doing for 47 years
- 00:16:00.481 --> 00:16:03.484
- And pray the president trump blinks.
- 00:16:03.484 --> 00:16:05.086
- I guess that's the strategy.
- 00:16:05.086 --> 00:16:06.387
- More with bill o'reilly after the break, folks.
- 00:16:06.387 --> 00:16:08.122
- What about here at home? redistricting?
- 00:16:08.122 --> 00:16:10.425
- What's happening in california right now?
- 00:16:10.425 --> 00:16:11.993
- Maybe some encouraging things there.
- 00:16:11.993 --> 00:16:13.728
- More with bill o'reilly after the break.
- 00:16:13.728 --> 00:16:15.430
- Don't move.
- 00:16:15.430 --> 00:16:18.005
- Don't move.
- 00:16:18.005 --> 00:16:20.969
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight
- 00:16:21.703 --> 00:16:23.138
- We're talking to the one and only bill o'reilly.
- 00:16:23.138 --> 00:16:25.307
- Check him out. of course.
- 00:16:25.307 --> 00:16:26.408
- Bill o'reilly dot com youtube x across social media.
- 00:16:26.408 --> 00:16:29.711
- Bill, your home state of new york
- 00:16:29.711 --> 00:16:31.346
- And new york city in particular, zoran mamdani
- 00:16:31.346 --> 00:16:34.249
- Having some problems
- 00:16:34.249 --> 00:16:35.551
- There, it seems, economically anti-semitism and otherwise.
- 00:16:35.551 --> 00:16:39.054
- And we'll talk
- 00:16:39.054 --> 00:16:40.255
- About california in a bit and how they're trying to avoid
- 00:16:40.255 --> 00:16:41.890
- Becoming mamdani bill in los angeles, potentially.
- 00:16:41.890 --> 00:16:44.993
- But what's your take right now on new york city?
- 00:16:44.993 --> 00:16:47.696
- And what we're seeing unfold under mamdani?
- 00:16:47.696 --> 00:16:49.898
- Indonesia, communist,
- 00:16:49.898 --> 00:16:51.700
- The people of new york elected a communist
- 00:16:52.568 --> 00:16:55.270
- Because many of his supporters don't have any money.
- 00:16:55.270 --> 00:16:59.408
- And you need money to live in that city.
- 00:16:59.408 --> 00:17:02.010
- So he promised them all kinds of free stuff.
- 00:17:02.010 --> 00:17:04.713
- They bought it, they voted for him.
- 00:17:04.713 --> 00:17:06.915
- And he's the mayor.
- 00:17:06.915 --> 00:17:08.350
- So now he's,
- 00:17:08.350 --> 00:17:10.953
- Up against the big corporations that he's trying to gut
- 00:17:10.953 --> 00:17:14.423
- A financially.
- 00:17:14.756 --> 00:17:15.791
- And they're going, well, we're going to move out.
- 00:17:15.791 --> 00:17:18.160
- That's all predictable.
- 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:19.261
- Everybody knew what was going to happen.
- 00:17:19.261 --> 00:17:22.564
- He's not on. he's not as soft on crime
- 00:17:22.564 --> 00:17:25.100
- As i thought he might have been.
- 00:17:25.100 --> 00:17:26.902
- But because crime is going down, almost every urban center.
- 00:17:26.902 --> 00:17:31.473
- But new york is a dangerous place. you want to.
- 00:17:31.473 --> 00:17:33.308
- You don't want to be on a subway at midnight.
- 00:17:33.308 --> 00:17:36.578
- And then donnie's not really interested
- 00:17:36.578 --> 00:17:38.313
- In punishing miscreants.
- 00:17:38.313 --> 00:17:40.449
- So, mark, you vote for him.
- 00:17:40.449 --> 00:17:42.851
- This is what you got?
- 00:17:42.851 --> 00:17:44.353
- No surprise to me.
- 00:17:44.353 --> 00:17:45.821
- Yeah.
- 00:17:45.821 --> 00:17:46.722
- Even goldman sachs leaving new york city.
- 00:17:46.722 --> 00:17:48.690
- Hey, i mentioned california bill.
- 00:17:48.690 --> 00:17:50.025
- The la mayor's race heating up june 2nd.
- 00:17:50.025 --> 00:17:52.928
- Spencer pratt making a lot of waves there.
- 00:17:52.928 --> 00:17:55.697
- And also the governor level.
- 00:17:55.697 --> 00:17:57.032
- Look, steve hilton,
- 00:17:57.032 --> 00:17:58.133
- Chad bianco leading both republicans in california.
- 00:17:58.133 --> 00:18:01.870
- Could we see a turnaround in very blue california and in la?
- 00:18:01.870 --> 00:18:06.308
- Is it possible.
- 00:18:06.308 --> 00:18:07.242
- The days of ronald reagan
- 00:18:07.242 --> 00:18:08.544
- Being elected twice to the, governorship?
- 00:18:08.544 --> 00:18:11.813
- Then?
- 00:18:12.047 --> 00:18:13.081
- I knew that that couldn't possibly happen again.
- 00:18:13.081 --> 00:18:15.050
- The demographics have shifted.
- 00:18:15.050 --> 00:18:17.619
- People need to handouts.
- 00:18:18.153 --> 00:18:19.821
- They want the handouts.
- 00:18:19.821 --> 00:18:21.190
- They know the republican party doesn't do that.
- 00:18:21.190 --> 00:18:24.660
- So i'd be surprised if,
- 00:18:24.660 --> 00:18:27.329
- The next governor or mayor of l.a.
- 00:18:27.329 --> 00:18:29.831
- Were, republicans.
- 00:18:29.831 --> 00:18:31.633
- But i've been surprised before.
- 00:18:31.633 --> 00:18:35.337
- Pretty, dire, pretty dire out there in the golden state.
- 00:18:35.337 --> 00:18:39.441
- And you're not kidding.
- 00:18:39.441 --> 00:18:40.342
- And, man, people forget
- 00:18:40.342 --> 00:18:41.610
- Ronald reagan, two term governor in california, of all places.
- 00:18:41.610 --> 00:18:44.379
- But hey, speaking politically, midterms coming up.
- 00:18:44.379 --> 00:18:47.449
- Of course, in november,
- 00:18:47.449 --> 00:18:48.584
- We've got the redistricting right now heating up.
- 00:18:48.584 --> 00:18:50.752
- That doesn't seem to be going the democrats way.
- 00:18:50.752 --> 00:18:53.889
- Has the tide turned a bit, bill, when we're talking
- 00:18:53.889 --> 00:18:56.258
- Midterms, is the gop gaining momentum there?
- 00:18:56.258 --> 00:18:59.494
- I think it's very close.
- 00:18:59.494 --> 00:19:01.930
- And the redistricting
- 00:19:01.930 --> 00:19:04.132
- All it always comes down to the same thing
- 00:19:04.132 --> 00:19:07.569
- That you cannot draw
- 00:19:07.569 --> 00:19:09.805
- A congressional district based on skin color.
- 00:19:09.805 --> 00:19:13.408
- Yeah.
- 00:19:13.408 --> 00:19:14.209
- And once that evidence is presented
- 00:19:14.209 --> 00:19:16.545
- To the federal authorities, the federal judges,
- 00:19:16.545 --> 00:19:19.948
- Then they always throw it out,
- 00:19:19.948 --> 00:19:23.252
- Because you just can't start to do that.
- 00:19:23.252 --> 00:19:25.921
- Yeah.
- 00:19:25.921 --> 00:19:27.389
- So i'm not
- 00:19:27.689 --> 00:19:29.658
- Optimistic that anybody
- 00:19:29.658 --> 00:19:32.361
- Thinking that this redistricting of,
- 00:19:32.361 --> 00:19:36.398
- The congressional vote is going to mean anything.
- 00:19:36.398 --> 00:19:41.069
- The courts, federal courts, just getting a knock out, one
- 00:19:41.069 --> 00:19:43.972
- After the other, after the other,
- 00:19:43.972 --> 00:19:45.707
- After the other care of a country based on skin color.
- 00:19:45.707 --> 00:19:50.045
- I don't think it's going to ever happen here.
- 00:19:50.045 --> 00:19:51.880
- I hope it doesn't.
- 00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:52.948
- Yeah.
- 00:19:52.948 --> 00:19:54.016
- And things are becoming more intense politically.
- 00:19:54.016 --> 00:19:55.484
- Long gone are the days of reagan
- 00:19:55.484 --> 00:19:57.085
- And tip o'neill sharing a beer.
- 00:19:57.085 --> 00:19:58.954
- Those days are long gone.
- 00:19:58.954 --> 00:20:00.222
- Speaking of which, bill, we've got this assassination culture.
- 00:20:00.222 --> 00:20:04.059
- I guess you could call it.
- 00:20:04.059 --> 00:20:05.027
- Even after the recent, most recent attempt on
- 00:20:05.027 --> 00:20:06.828
- President trump's life, we have a poll showing that
- 00:20:06.828 --> 00:20:09.464
- Some democrats say, look, it was all stage.
- 00:20:09.464 --> 00:20:11.500
- It wasn't real.
- 00:20:11.500 --> 00:20:12.901
- How concerned
- 00:20:12.901 --> 00:20:14.136
- Are you about the polarization and the rise in not only violent
- 00:20:14.136 --> 00:20:16.872
- Rhetoric from the far left, but violent actions?
- 00:20:16.872 --> 00:20:20.275
- I was there at the dinner at the washington hilton.
- 00:20:20.275 --> 00:20:24.646
- Was i surprised it happened a little bit.
- 00:20:25.514 --> 00:20:28.650
- But after i got over the initial gunshots because i was fairly
- 00:20:28.650 --> 00:20:31.720
- Close to them.
- 00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:32.888
- Wow. i went, you know, it's another balloon.
- 00:20:32.888 --> 00:20:36.825
- I mean, absolutely is,
- 00:20:37.292 --> 00:20:40.162
- And there's no shortage of them in our country.
- 00:20:40.162 --> 00:20:42.331
- And when they have freedoms to,
- 00:20:42.331 --> 00:20:45.701
- And this is kind of,
- 00:20:45.701 --> 00:20:48.970
- A carousel, it just goes around and around
- 00:20:48.970 --> 00:20:51.373
- And around and around.
- 00:20:51.373 --> 00:20:53.108
- So there's really no solution
- 00:20:53.108 --> 00:20:55.477
- To the madness problem.
- 00:20:55.477 --> 00:20:59.314
- It's just so you authorities got to do a little bit better job
- 00:20:59.314 --> 00:21:02.751
- In, protecting not only the president,
- 00:21:02.751 --> 00:21:05.153
- But all government officials.
- 00:21:05.153 --> 00:21:06.655
- This guy,
- 00:21:06.655 --> 00:21:08.690
- You know, it wasn't hard for him
- 00:21:08.690 --> 00:21:11.159
- To get into that hotel lobby armed, right?
- 00:21:11.159 --> 00:21:14.629
- It was hard to get down to the ballroom.
- 00:21:14.629 --> 00:21:17.265
- Oh, he could never have done that.
- 00:21:17.265 --> 00:21:20.369
- But first floor, one
- 00:21:20.369 --> 00:21:22.604
- Wall, floor above the president.
- 00:21:22.604 --> 00:21:25.674
- Not hard to get in.
- 00:21:25.674 --> 00:21:26.708
- All he did is come down the back stairs.
- 00:21:26.708 --> 00:21:29.144
- Yeah, way too easy.
- 00:21:29.144 --> 00:21:31.279
- And it seems president trump in particular, bill,
- 00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:33.248
- Seems to spark a particular rage in people about a minute left.
- 00:21:33.248 --> 00:21:37.185
- You know the president well the trump effect
- 00:21:37.185 --> 00:21:39.321
- So far about a year and a half in at home and abroad.
- 00:21:39.321 --> 00:21:42.824
- About a minute left your grade so far
- 00:21:42.824 --> 00:21:44.860
- On how the president's doing both domestically and overseas.
- 00:21:44.860 --> 00:21:48.330
- The iranian thing goes this way.
- 00:21:48.330 --> 00:21:50.732
- That's going to really help his legacy. yeah.
- 00:21:50.732 --> 00:21:54.169
- And it
- 00:21:54.369 --> 00:21:55.370
- Also snap the economy back fast in america.
- 00:21:55.370 --> 00:21:58.573
- That'll change everything.
- 00:21:58.573 --> 00:22:00.308
- But he's got to win it and he got to win it pretty soon.
- 00:22:00.308 --> 00:22:03.879
- Yeah. so it's an incomplete grade.
- 00:22:03.879 --> 00:22:06.381
- Yeah. well said. memorial day looming like you said.
- 00:22:06.381 --> 00:22:08.884
- It seems like he's got a window here
- 00:22:08.884 --> 00:22:10.685
- To finish the this thing off bill.
- 00:22:10.685 --> 00:22:12.821
- Great breakdown. great.
- 00:22:12.821 --> 00:22:13.722
- Seeing as always my friend folks.
- 00:22:13.722 --> 00:22:14.990
- Bill a root.com youtube x across social media.
- 00:22:14.990 --> 00:22:18.160
- The one and only bill o'reilly. bill.
- 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:19.861
- Great stuff.
- 00:22:19.861 --> 00:22:20.729
- God bless. we'll see you again soon.
- 00:22:20.729 --> 00:22:21.863
- And coming up after the break,
- 00:22:21.863 --> 00:22:22.931
- My final thoughts on the state of play for you and me
- 00:22:22.931 --> 00:22:26.735
- Right here at home. that's next.
- 00:22:26.735 --> 00:22:28.270
- Stick around.
- 00:22:28.270 --> 00:22:32.006
- Stick around.
- 00:22:32.006 --> 00:22:35.177
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:22:35.944 --> 00:22:37.412
- Great breakdown with bill o'reilly about
- 00:22:37.412 --> 00:22:39.080
- What's happening at home and abroad.
- 00:22:39.080 --> 00:22:40.849
- And folks, you might say what's going to happen?
- 00:22:40.849 --> 00:22:43.084
- Well, remember that god sits on the throne.
- 00:22:43.084 --> 00:22:45.020
- I think of the book of job, chapter 36, verses 32 and 33.
- 00:22:45.020 --> 00:22:48.723
- He fills his hands with lightning
- 00:22:48.723 --> 00:22:51.159
- And commands it to strike its mark.
- 00:22:51.159 --> 00:22:53.395
- His thunder announces the coming storm.
- 00:22:53.395 --> 00:22:55.797
- Even the cattle make known its approach again.
- 00:22:55.797 --> 00:22:59.935
- God is in control.
- 00:22:59.935 --> 00:23:01.403
- He's on the throne.
- 00:23:01.403 --> 00:23:02.671
- Do not fret. do not worry.
- 00:23:02.671 --> 00:23:04.406
- Keep all in prayer and including for president trump
- 00:23:04.406 --> 00:23:07.275
- On this crucial trip to china this week,
- 00:23:07.275 --> 00:23:09.511
- Tomorrow and friday will be in dc.
- 00:23:09.511 --> 00:23:11.680
- The big rededicate 250 event this sunday right here on tbn.

- Until tomorrow from dc.
- 00:23:18.753 --> 00:23:20.789
- God bless you. we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:20.789 --> 00:23:20.789
