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: February 5, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | February 5, 2025

Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
00:00:17.574 --> 00:00:19.075
I'm erick stakelbeck
00:00:19.075 --> 00:00:20.143
And it's been said that the definition of insanity
00:00:20.143 --> 00:00:24.447
Is doing the same thing
00:00:24.447 --> 00:00:26.282
Over and over and expecting a different result.
00:00:26.282 --> 00:00:30.120
That's why tuesday's meeting between president trump and
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:32.956
Israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was so historic.
00:00:32.956 --> 00:00:36.793
Trump dropped a potentially massive game changing idea
00:00:36.793 --> 00:00:40.997
On how to fix gaza, a tiny coastal strip
00:00:40.997 --> 00:00:44.734
That's been home to so much misery for its own residents
00:00:44.734 --> 00:00:48.138
And for israel going back decades.
00:00:48.138 --> 00:00:50.974
Folks, gaza right now is essentially
00:00:50.974 --> 00:00:53.176
A giant heap of rubble thanks to the war that hamas
00:00:53.176 --> 00:00:57.113
Launched against israel on october seven, 20, 23
00:00:57.113 --> 00:01:01.050
By massacring 1200 israelis on that dark day.
00:01:01.050 --> 00:01:05.321
Hamas literally
00:01:05.321 --> 00:01:06.523
Brought judgment down upon the heads of every gazan.
00:01:06.523 --> 00:01:10.360
Here's president trump on what hamas's
00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:12.562
Demonic obsession with destroying israel has caused.
00:01:12.562 --> 00:01:19.502
The only reason the palestinians
00:01:19.502 --> 00:01:21.871
Want to go back to gaza is they have no alternative.
00:01:21.871 --> 00:01:26.209
It's right now a demolition site.
00:01:26.209 --> 00:01:28.011
This is just a demolition site.
00:01:28.011 --> 00:01:30.079
Virtually every building
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:31.181
Is down there living under fallen concrete.
00:01:31.181 --> 00:01:35.251
That's very dangerous and very precarious.
00:01:35.251 --> 00:01:37.954
Gaza is a hellhole right now.
00:01:37.954 --> 00:01:40.323
It was before the bombing started, frankly.
00:01:40.323 --> 00:01:43.193
And we're going to give people a chance
00:01:43.193 --> 00:01:45.161
To live in a beautiful community that's safe and secure.
00:01:45.161 --> 00:01:48.965
And i think you're going to see tremendous a tremendous
00:01:48.965 --> 00:01:53.736
Outpouring of support.
00:01:53.736 --> 00:01:57.473
Gaza is in ruins and now hamas has been largely
00:01:57.473 --> 00:02:01.411
Smashed as israel continues to secure the remaining hostages
00:02:01.411 --> 00:02:05.181
Held by hamas as part of a shaky cease fire deal.
00:02:05.181 --> 00:02:08.851
It's very clear to everyone that things cannot go back
00:02:08.851 --> 00:02:12.822
To how they were.
00:02:12.822 --> 00:02:14.157
Hamas must be completely destroyed.
00:02:14.157 --> 00:02:17.126
And the population of gaza, which, remember, voted
00:02:17.126 --> 00:02:20.029
Hamas into power, must be radicalized.
00:02:20.029 --> 00:02:23.700
Here's the problem.
00:02:23.700 --> 00:02:24.867
The only solution the so-called international community
00:02:24.867 --> 00:02:28.471
Has come up with is to pour countless
00:02:28.471 --> 00:02:30.840
Billions of dollars into rebuilding gaza,
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.977
Which will take years only to see it turn once again
00:02:33.977 --> 00:02:37.780
Into a hellish cauldron of terror and extremism.
00:02:37.780 --> 00:02:41.284
With hamas or some other violent jihadi group taking control
00:02:41.284 --> 00:02:45.521
And launching attacks against israel, in other words,
00:02:45.521 --> 00:02:48.992
The same tired, failed ideas leading to the same horrific
00:02:48.992 --> 00:02:53.896
Outcome, the very definition of insanity.
00:02:53.896 --> 00:02:57.967
But then along comes donald trump putting forward yesterday
00:02:57.967 --> 00:03:02.038
A very different vision for gaza.
00:03:02.038 --> 00:03:04.574
That's completely outside the box.
00:03:04.574 --> 00:03:07.176
Take a look.
00:03:07.176 --> 00:03:10.546
The u.s.
00:03:10.546 --> 00:03:11.047
Will take over the
00:03:11.047 --> 00:03:12.048
Gaza strip and we will do a job with it, too.
00:03:12.048 --> 00:03:15.718
We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling
00:03:15.718 --> 00:03:18.855
All of the dangerous
00:03:18.855 --> 00:03:19.889
Unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site
00:03:19.889 --> 00:03:22.992
Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level
00:03:22.992 --> 00:03:27.597
It out, create an economic development that will supply
00:03:27.597 --> 00:03:31.434
Unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for
00:03:31.434 --> 00:03:34.871
The people of the area.
00:03:34.871 --> 00:03:36.506
We have an opportunity to do something that could be
00:03:36.506 --> 00:03:40.143
Phenomenal.
00:03:40.143 --> 00:03:41.411
And i don't want to be cute.
00:03:41.411 --> 00:03:43.012
I don't want to be a wise guy.
00:03:43.012 --> 00:03:44.314
But the riviera of the middle east,
00:03:44.314 --> 00:03:46.215
This could be something that could be so bad,
00:03:46.215 --> 00:03:48.251
It could be so magnificent.
00:03:48.251 --> 00:03:52.488
Now, what you just heard was the sound of jaws dropping
00:03:52.488 --> 00:03:56.092
From the headquarters of the u.n.
00:03:56.092 --> 00:03:57.660
And the european union
00:03:57.660 --> 00:03:59.062
To arab capitals in the middle east,
00:03:59.062 --> 00:04:00.830
To the offices of the democrat party right here in america.
00:04:00.830 --> 00:04:04.500
All of the above have been
00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:06.035
All in on the same failed cycle of insanity,
00:04:06.035 --> 00:04:10.239
Pouring billions upon billions of dollars into rebuilding gaza
00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:14.777
After every new war that hamas launches,
00:04:14.777 --> 00:04:17.580
Only to see hamas pocket those billions of dollars
00:04:17.580 --> 00:04:21.284
And build more rockets
00:04:21.284 --> 00:04:22.819
And terror tunnels
00:04:22.819 --> 00:04:23.986
With the full support, of course, of the iranian regime.
00:04:23.986 --> 00:04:27.323
More on them in a minute.
00:04:27.323 --> 00:04:28.825
As president trump pointed out, gaza right now
00:04:28.825 --> 00:04:31.627
Is uninhabitable and will be for a long time.
00:04:31.627 --> 00:04:35.698
What he's suggesting is relocating the roughly
00:04:35.698 --> 00:04:38.735
1.8 million palestinians who live there
00:04:38.735 --> 00:04:41.738
To other arab muslim countries like jordan and egypt.
00:04:41.738 --> 00:04:45.575
Then gaza would be completely rebuilt
00:04:45.575 --> 00:04:49.178
Without the constant threat of hamas looming.
00:04:49.178 --> 00:04:51.848
And the united states would then turn this hellish place
00:04:51.848 --> 00:04:55.318
Into an economic development zone, creating thousands of jobs
00:04:55.318 --> 00:04:59.922
And a beautiful tourist destination right on the shores
00:04:59.922 --> 00:05:03.826
Of the mediterranean. here's more from president trump.
00:05:03.826 --> 00:05:08.264
If not jordan, egypt, what other countries
00:05:08.264 --> 00:05:10.333
Do you think might accept palestinians from gaza?
00:05:10.333 --> 00:05:12.735
Well, i think jordan and egypt will.
00:05:12.735 --> 00:05:14.670
I know
00:05:14.670 --> 00:05:15.371
They've spoken about it with you
00:05:15.371 --> 00:05:16.939
And they say they're not going to accept.
00:05:16.939 --> 00:05:18.841
I say they will,
00:05:18.841 --> 00:05:20.376
But i think other countries will accept also if we can build
00:05:20.376 --> 00:05:23.413
Something for them.
00:05:23.413 --> 00:05:24.414
And one of the countries and it could be jordan
00:05:24.414 --> 00:05:26.849
And it could be egypt, it could be other countries.
00:05:26.849 --> 00:05:29.152
And you could build four or five or six areas.
00:05:29.152 --> 00:05:31.721
It doesn't have to be one area, but you take certain areas
00:05:31.721 --> 00:05:34.857
And you build
00:05:34.857 --> 00:05:35.925
Really good quality housing, like a beautiful town,
00:05:35.925 --> 00:05:40.763
Like some place where they can live
00:05:40.763 --> 00:05:42.732
And not die
00:05:42.732 --> 00:05:44.133
Because gaza is a guarantee that they're going to end up dying.
00:05:44.133 --> 00:05:47.036
The same thing's going to happen again.
00:05:47.036 --> 00:05:50.940
Now, this plan would obviously not happen overnight.
00:05:50.940 --> 00:05:54.010
Hamas has been extremely weakened, but it's not dead yet.
00:05:54.010 --> 00:05:58.214
There's also still some 79 hostages being held in gaza.
00:05:58.214 --> 00:06:02.418
And the obvious issue of relocating close to 2
00:06:02.418 --> 00:06:05.788
Million people.
00:06:05.788 --> 00:06:07.023
But president trump's proposal is the first original outside
00:06:07.023 --> 00:06:11.427
The box solution put forward for gaza in forever.
00:06:11.427 --> 00:06:15.031
Once again, he proves that he's a visionary leader
00:06:15.031 --> 00:06:18.000
And an outside the box thinker,
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.303
Just as he did during his first term
00:06:20.303 --> 00:06:22.171
When he forged
00:06:22.171 --> 00:06:23.039
The abraham accords peace treaties
00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:25.141
Between israel and its arab neighbors.
00:06:25.141 --> 00:06:27.477
He also moved the u.s.
00:06:27.477 --> 00:06:29.111
Embassy to jerusalem, a move which made the usual suspects
00:06:29.111 --> 00:06:33.483
Howl in opposition,
00:06:33.483 --> 00:06:34.984
Just as they're doing now with news of his gaza proposal.
00:06:34.984 --> 00:06:39.121
So can it work?
00:06:39.121 --> 00:06:40.656
I believe it can.
00:06:40.656 --> 00:06:41.891
Folks remember this.
00:06:41.891 --> 00:06:43.259
The palestinians who live in gaza have a relatively brief
00:06:43.259 --> 00:06:46.496
Connection to that strip of land going back only decades.
00:06:46.496 --> 00:06:50.666
Would they really be opposed to a fresh start elsewhere
00:06:50.666 --> 00:06:54.537
In a nice new neighborhood
00:06:54.537 --> 00:06:56.072
Without the threat of violence lurking around every corner?
00:06:56.072 --> 00:06:59.642
As for suggestions that this would be nation
00:06:59.642 --> 00:07:02.612
Building like the u.s.
00:07:02.612 --> 00:07:03.746
Attempted in iraq,
00:07:03.746 --> 00:07:05.114
Trump is talking about the united states with help
00:07:05.114 --> 00:07:07.717
From other nations
00:07:07.717 --> 00:07:08.951
Rebuilding gaza only after it's emptied out of its inhabitants
00:07:08.951 --> 00:07:13.356
And they're relocated to a better place.
00:07:13.356 --> 00:07:15.691
Meaning, unlike in iraq and afghanistan,
00:07:15.691 --> 00:07:18.861
And terrorist would not be sniping and bombing u.s.
00:07:18.861 --> 00:07:22.265
Citizens as they worked to rebuild gaza.
00:07:22.265 --> 00:07:25.601
Hey, you may think it all sounds crazy,
00:07:25.601 --> 00:07:27.703
If that's your view, consider this.
00:07:27.703 --> 00:07:30.206
There may just be a method to the madness.
00:07:30.206 --> 00:07:33.109
Even if his gaza plan never materializes,
00:07:33.109 --> 00:07:36.212
What president trump just did here was to smash decades
00:07:36.212 --> 00:07:40.583
Of failed thinking and ignite a new conversation, a new
00:07:40.583 --> 00:07:44.687
Approach to one of the world's longest running problems.
00:07:44.687 --> 00:07:48.591
That's leadership.
00:07:48.591 --> 00:07:49.825
And that's the art of using leverage, which we've seen trump
00:07:49.825 --> 00:07:53.629
Do repeatedly with the likes of mexico, canada, colombia
00:07:53.629 --> 00:07:57.400
And panama since he took office just 16 days ago.
00:07:57.400 --> 00:08:01.504
And then there is iran.
00:08:01.504 --> 00:08:04.674
During his press conference with bibi on tuesday, trump
00:08:04.674 --> 00:08:07.577
Announced that maximum pressure is back.
00:08:07.577 --> 00:08:11.280
Take a look.
00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:14.684
Today, i also took action to restore
00:08:14.684 --> 00:08:16.852
A maximum pressure policy on the iranian regime.
00:08:16.852 --> 00:08:20.723
And we will once again enforce
00:08:20.723 --> 00:08:22.224
The most aggressive possible sanctions,
00:08:22.224 --> 00:08:24.660
Drive iranian oil exports to zero, and diminish
00:08:24.660 --> 00:08:28.097
The regime's capacity to fund terror
00:08:28.097 --> 00:08:30.833
Throughout the region and throughout the world.
00:08:30.833 --> 00:08:35.371
Okay, let's read between the lines.
00:08:35.371 --> 00:08:37.607
Trump is giving the iranian regime one last chance here.
00:08:37.607 --> 00:08:41.010
He's about to squeeze iran economically in a major way.
00:08:41.010 --> 00:08:45.481
If even that does not cause iran to abandon its pursuit
00:08:45.481 --> 00:08:49.585
Of a nuclear weapon,
00:08:49.585 --> 00:08:50.886
Then iran's nuclear facilities will be destroyed.
00:08:50.886 --> 00:08:54.390
Here's more.
00:08:54.390 --> 00:08:56.726
They cannot have a nuclear weapon.
00:08:56.726 --> 00:08:58.461
Very simple.
00:08:58.461 --> 00:08:59.629
I'm not putting restrictions.
00:08:59.629 --> 00:09:01.297
I'm not.
00:09:01.297 --> 00:09:01.964
They can not have one thing.
00:09:01.964 --> 00:09:04.467
They cannot have a nuclear weapon.
00:09:04.467 --> 00:09:08.504
I'll say it again.
00:09:08.504 --> 00:09:09.739
This is the year of reckoning for iran's nuclear program.
00:09:09.739 --> 00:09:13.509
Either the ayatollahs drop their nuclear dreams once
00:09:13.509 --> 00:09:16.946
And for all, or israel will destroy their nuclear
00:09:16.946 --> 00:09:20.716
Facilities, perhaps with help from the united states,
00:09:20.716 --> 00:09:23.853
Or at the very least,
00:09:23.853 --> 00:09:25.021
With a green light from president trump.
00:09:25.021 --> 00:09:27.356
It's no wonder prime minister netanyahu had some serious
00:09:27.356 --> 00:09:30.226
Praise yesterday for his american counterpart.
00:09:30.226 --> 00:09:35.564
I've said this before.
00:09:35.564 --> 00:09:37.600
I'll say it again.
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.101
You are the greatest friend israel has ever
00:09:39.101 --> 00:09:42.271
Had in the white house.
00:09:42.271 --> 00:09:46.909
One last important point to mention from yesterday's
00:09:46.909 --> 00:09:49.245
Historic meeting at the white house.
00:09:49.245 --> 00:09:51.080
The abraham accords are now back on the table,
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:54.450
And a groundbreaking peace agreement
00:09:54.450 --> 00:09:56.686
Between israel and saudi arabia is a very real possibility.
00:09:56.686 --> 00:10:01.724
Take a look.
00:10:01.724 --> 00:10:04.393
I think peace between
00:10:04.393 --> 00:10:05.795
Israel and saudi arabia is not only feasible.
00:10:05.795 --> 00:10:09.131
I think it's going to happen.
00:10:09.131 --> 00:10:10.499
I think if
00:10:10.499 --> 00:10:12.301
We had another half a year
00:10:12.301 --> 00:10:14.437
In your first term, it would have already had true.
00:10:14.437 --> 00:10:18.674
Folks, it is very clear to me
00:10:18.674 --> 00:10:20.643
That we are living in a prophetic moment.
00:10:20.643 --> 00:10:23.212
God is on the move in the middle east, in america
00:10:23.212 --> 00:10:26.282
And around the world.
00:10:26.282 --> 00:10:27.850
He spared donald trump's life for a reason,
00:10:27.850 --> 00:10:31.253
And he's using him to upend decades of failed policies
00:10:31.253 --> 00:10:35.791
And to shine a light in the darkness.
00:10:35.791 --> 00:10:38.594
Revival is possible, and this is a golden opportunity
00:10:38.594 --> 00:10:42.498
For the body of christ
00:10:42.498 --> 00:10:43.899
To work in the light, to spread the gospel
00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:46.769
And to advance the kingdom of god.
00:10:46.769 --> 00:10:49.205
So let's get to work, because you never know
00:10:49.205 --> 00:10:51.941
How long this window will remain open.
00:10:51.941 --> 00:10:55.311
Speaking of shining light in the darkness, jack paar sobek
00:10:55.311 --> 00:10:58.214
Is back with us to break down how the deep state in dc
00:10:58.214 --> 00:11:02.151
Has been turned upside down in just 16 days.
00:11:02.151 --> 00:11:06.288
That's coming up after the break. stick around.
00:11:06.288 --> 00:11:11.008
That's coming up after the break. stick around.
00:11:11.008 --> 00:11:14.830
It's been a first
00:11:15.264 --> 00:11:16.499
16 days unlike any we've seen in presidential history.
00:11:16.499 --> 00:11:20.603
And folks, i have to say it has been glorious.
00:11:20.603 --> 00:11:23.639
President trump is already well on his way
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:25.808
To dismantling the deep state,
00:11:25.808 --> 00:11:27.543
Stopping the invasion at our southern border,
00:11:27.543 --> 00:11:30.012
And eliminating the woke gender and race
00:11:30.012 --> 00:11:32.948
Obsessed madness that we saw over the past four years.
00:11:32.948 --> 00:11:36.285
All of that in just 16 days.
00:11:36.285 --> 00:11:39.321
And yet our next guest says he's just getting started.
00:11:39.321 --> 00:11:43.025
Jack posobiec
00:11:43.025 --> 00:11:43.893
Is a new york times bestselling
00:11:43.893 --> 00:11:45.194
Author and host of human events daily on the real america's
00:11:45.194 --> 00:11:48.697
Voice network.
00:11:48.697 --> 00:11:49.732
He joins us now.
00:11:49.732 --> 00:11:50.633
Jack, always great to see you. hey.
00:11:50.633 --> 00:11:52.802
A big part of president trump being able to get his agenda
00:11:52.802 --> 00:11:56.572
Through is to get his cabinet picks confirmed.
00:11:56.572 --> 00:11:59.775
And jack, it looks like kash patel at the fbi.
00:11:59.775 --> 00:12:03.012
Tulsi gabbard as director of national intelligence and rfk
00:12:03.012 --> 00:12:06.949
Jr at health and human services are about to become a reality.
00:12:06.949 --> 00:12:11.487
What do those three picks in particular mean
00:12:11.487 --> 00:12:14.557
For dismantling the destructive status quo
00:12:14.557 --> 00:12:17.660
That's taking hold in d.c.
00:12:17.660 --> 00:12:19.161
For far too long?
00:12:19.161 --> 00:12:21.030
Well, rick, thanks again for having me on.
00:12:21.030 --> 00:12:22.565
And it's incredible.
00:12:22.565 --> 00:12:23.599
You mentioned those three, by the way, because
00:12:23.599 --> 00:12:25.701
You step back for a second here.
00:12:25.701 --> 00:12:26.969
Even pete hegseth, we were told, was impossible,
00:12:26.969 --> 00:12:30.673
That these were the impossible picks.
00:12:30.673 --> 00:12:32.274
It was the four impossible picks originally was deepak,
00:12:32.274 --> 00:12:34.610
Seth, bobby kennedy, lieutenant colonel tulsi gabbard,
00:12:34.610 --> 00:12:37.613
And then, of course, kash patel.
00:12:37.613 --> 00:12:38.781
And they said it couldn't be done, that
00:12:38.781 --> 00:12:40.249
President trump was biting off more than he could chew.
00:12:40.249 --> 00:12:42.451
The united states senate would never go for this.
00:12:42.451 --> 00:12:44.587
Now, here we sit.
00:12:44.587 --> 00:12:45.821
Pete hegseth has been confirmed and is already fully
00:12:45.821 --> 00:12:49.959
In position at the pentagon as the secretary of defense.
00:12:49.959 --> 00:12:53.495
Bobby kennedy boom.
00:12:53.495 --> 00:12:55.130
Passed through committee just today.
00:12:55.130 --> 00:12:56.899
Tulsi gabbard boom, passed through committee.
00:12:56.899 --> 00:12:59.001
She's going down to the floor.
00:12:59.001 --> 00:13:00.169
They're both going down the floor shortly.
00:13:00.169 --> 00:13:02.671
Kash patel going up thursday morning.
00:13:02.671 --> 00:13:04.807
He's also got the votes, by the way,
00:13:04.807 --> 00:13:07.009
To go through in the committee.
00:13:07.009 --> 00:13:08.844
So they're all getting confirmed.
00:13:08.844 --> 00:13:10.279
President trump is getting his cabinet.
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.615
And let me explain why he's doing so, because he won
00:13:12.615 --> 00:13:16.218
The national popular vote in decisive fashion.
00:13:16.218 --> 00:13:19.922
He won seven out of seven swing states.
00:13:19.922 --> 00:13:22.925
This is an election mandate from the american people
00:13:22.925 --> 00:13:27.029
To president trump.
00:13:27.029 --> 00:13:28.297
And two of those names, in particular,
00:13:28.297 --> 00:13:30.466
Lieutenant colonel gabbard and bobby kennedy.
00:13:30.466 --> 00:13:33.068
They campaigned with him at almost every stop in the last
00:13:33.068 --> 00:13:36.705
Few weeks of this election, as did, by the way, elon musk.
00:13:36.705 --> 00:13:40.342
And so when i keep hearing from the left
00:13:40.342 --> 00:13:42.144
This cacophony of voices saying, oh,
00:13:42.144 --> 00:13:44.513
You know, he you know, he nobody voted for elon, nobody.
00:13:44.513 --> 00:13:47.182
But of course, they did. yes, they did.
00:13:47.182 --> 00:13:48.951
They did vote for this.
00:13:48.951 --> 00:13:50.286
President trump made it very clear
00:13:50.286 --> 00:13:51.820
That this is an all star team that he is putting together.
00:13:51.820 --> 00:13:54.456
And i believe that the united states
00:13:54.456 --> 00:13:55.925
Senate sees that for what it is and understands that this isn't
00:13:55.925 --> 00:13:59.361
Just donald trump, it's the will of the american people.
00:13:59.361 --> 00:14:02.631
Yeah, jack, it's a big tent,
00:14:02.631 --> 00:14:03.999
No doubt, about a minute before the break.
00:14:03.999 --> 00:14:05.868
And we will bring you right back.
00:14:05.868 --> 00:14:07.970
Doge, department of government efficiency,
00:14:07.970 --> 00:14:10.005
Elon musk taking aim at us aid, which was basically, it seems,
00:14:10.005 --> 00:14:14.343
An arm of the left and the democrat party
00:14:14.343 --> 00:14:16.946
About a minute, jack, before the break.
00:14:16.946 --> 00:14:18.580
Why is that so important
00:14:18.580 --> 00:14:19.782
To dismantle the organization known as u.s. aid?
00:14:19.782 --> 00:14:23.886
Well, usaid, this has been a slush fund
00:14:23.886 --> 00:14:26.255
For democrat projects for a long time.
00:14:26.255 --> 00:14:28.557
You're seeing a lot of their propaganda arms
00:14:28.557 --> 00:14:30.859
Was funneled through here,
00:14:30.859 --> 00:14:32.094
A lot of their ongoing international arms.
00:14:32.094 --> 00:14:34.897
And a lot of these movements were thrown through here.
00:14:34.897 --> 00:14:37.099
And so the idea that you're
00:14:37.099 --> 00:14:38.434
Cutting the head off the snake, it is really going to be able
00:14:38.434 --> 00:14:41.637
To cut off a lot of the fund, the clinton foundation
00:14:41.637 --> 00:14:44.373
And all the money that was running through there.
00:14:44.373 --> 00:14:46.141
So much of it came through
00:14:46.141 --> 00:14:47.509
Usaid in these very similar types of systems.
00:14:47.509 --> 00:14:50.346
We now how did you say it's for humanitarian aid,
00:14:50.346 --> 00:14:52.614
But what's it actually going to.
00:14:52.614 --> 00:14:54.049
It's actually going to left wing
00:14:54.049 --> 00:14:56.318
Slush funds all around the world.
00:14:56.318 --> 00:14:58.354
And in many cases, we're starting to find also
00:14:58.354 --> 00:15:01.056
Liberal media was also receiving funding.
00:15:01.056 --> 00:15:04.093
Yeah, no doubt accountability is here.
00:15:04.093 --> 00:15:06.261
And more of a jack posobiec on that after the break.
00:15:06.261 --> 00:15:08.364
We're talking about
00:15:08.364 --> 00:15:09.531
Dismantling the deep state, but what about dismantling
00:15:09.531 --> 00:15:12.801
The cultural poison that we saw built up really over the past
00:15:12.801 --> 00:15:16.238
Few decades?
00:15:16.238 --> 00:15:17.339
More on that, the gender madness.
00:15:17.339 --> 00:15:19.208
Correcting that with jack brozovic after the break.
00:15:19.208 --> 00:15:21.744
Don't move.
00:15:21.744 --> 00:15:24.007
Don't move.
00:15:24.007 --> 00:15:27.350
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonightwe're talking to jack
00:15:28.451 --> 00:15:30.487
Posobiec, bestselling new york times
00:15:30.487 --> 00:15:32.355
Author and host of human events daily
00:15:32.355 --> 00:15:34.324
On the real america's voice network.
00:15:34.324 --> 00:15:35.892
Jack, before the break, you and i were talking
00:15:35.892 --> 00:15:37.827
About the dismantling of the deep state.
00:15:37.827 --> 00:15:40.196
But i think, look, i'm the father of a young family.
00:15:40.196 --> 00:15:42.632
You are as well.
00:15:42.632 --> 00:15:43.833
I think even as important, of course, is the dismantling
00:15:43.833 --> 00:15:47.570
Of gender ideology, calling men, men and women, women.
00:15:47.570 --> 00:15:52.142
Imagine that.
00:15:52.142 --> 00:15:53.209
And the sanity we talk about making america
00:15:53.209 --> 00:15:55.812
Great again, healthy again, the sanity
00:15:55.812 --> 00:15:57.881
That's been restored over the past two weeks.
00:15:57.881 --> 00:16:00.250
How do you see that?
00:16:00.250 --> 00:16:01.117
How important is the cultural piece
00:16:01.117 --> 00:16:03.720
To president trump taking office once again?
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:06.656
Well, i
00:16:06.656 --> 00:16:07.757
I think that that cultural place really affected itself
00:16:07.757 --> 00:16:09.993
In the presidential election on november 5th.
00:16:09.993 --> 00:16:13.863
You wouldn't have seen
00:16:13.863 --> 00:16:15.031
A mandate like this without the cultural side being there.
00:16:15.031 --> 00:16:18.568
You had the moms for liberty the mama bears on board.
00:16:18.568 --> 00:16:22.038
You had the mom movement as well.
00:16:22.038 --> 00:16:23.907
And the cultural piece of gender identity
00:16:23.907 --> 00:16:27.043
And getting men out of women's sports is a huge part of it
00:16:27.043 --> 00:16:30.246
As well, that we went directly into those suburban moms
00:16:30.246 --> 00:16:34.150
Who for a long time had voted democrat
00:16:34.150 --> 00:16:36.453
Who said, you know, we like this.
00:16:36.453 --> 00:16:37.887
We feel like the democrats care more.
00:16:37.887 --> 00:16:39.522
Of course, they use that empathetic type of language.
00:16:39.522 --> 00:16:41.891
But then all of a sudden, when they realized
00:16:41.891 --> 00:16:43.993
That this was a threat to their daughter,
00:16:43.993 --> 00:16:45.695
To their precious children, they realized there has to be
00:16:45.695 --> 00:16:48.731
A balancing at some point.
00:16:48.731 --> 00:16:50.667
And it all just at the end of the day, had gotten too far.
00:16:50.667 --> 00:16:53.169
It had all gone too far, whether it's netflix,
00:16:53.169 --> 00:16:55.805
Whether it's kids, and by the way,
00:16:55.805 --> 00:16:57.240
The targeting of young children in so many cases for this
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:02.345
Sexualized type of content, it was ridiculous.
00:17:02.345 --> 00:17:05.682
And it got to the point where people had said
00:17:05.682 --> 00:17:07.984
Enough is enough. and you know what?
00:17:07.984 --> 00:17:10.320
Maybe we don't like donald trump's personality.
00:17:10.320 --> 00:17:14.357
Maybe we think that he is kind of a bull in a china shop.
00:17:14.357 --> 00:17:17.961
But you know something?
00:17:17.961 --> 00:17:19.129
Maybe this china shop does deserve a bull to be run in
00:17:19.129 --> 00:17:22.298
And around through it.
00:17:22.298 --> 00:17:23.166
Yeah. amen.
00:17:23.166 --> 00:17:24.134
It was pure evil what was happening, jack.
00:17:24.134 --> 00:17:26.436
And again, sanity restored.
00:17:26.436 --> 00:17:28.671
Hey, speaking of sanity, restore trade.
00:17:28.671 --> 00:17:31.274
We see it with mexico, canada, panama, colombia.
00:17:31.274 --> 00:17:35.011
President trump, there's that word again using leverage.
00:17:35.011 --> 00:17:38.448
Time and time again, it's refreshing to see a leader
00:17:38.448 --> 00:17:41.050
Who realizes
00:17:41.050 --> 00:17:42.252
The enormous leverage he has and is not afraid to use it.
00:17:42.252 --> 00:17:45.421
Can you talk more about the trump
00:17:45.421 --> 00:17:46.689
Effect, jack, in international relations,
00:17:46.689 --> 00:17:49.225
Including right here in our own hemisphere?
00:17:49.225 --> 00:17:52.128
Well, so it's interesting.
00:17:52.128 --> 00:17:53.263
And there's two pieces of this, i'll put it this way.
00:17:53.263 --> 00:17:56.132
The interesting style version of this
00:17:56.132 --> 00:17:58.668
That i think is so different
00:17:58.668 --> 00:17:59.903
From how previous presidents have acted is typically
00:17:59.903 --> 00:18:03.339
When you have a president wants to make a decision
00:18:03.339 --> 00:18:06.109
Or wants to pursue a various policy,
00:18:06.109 --> 00:18:07.944
Whatever it might be, they'll convene a working group.
00:18:07.944 --> 00:18:10.880
And that working group will go to some inter-agency
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:14.817
Collection of various liaisons to the white house
00:18:14.817 --> 00:18:19.122
From certain ages.
00:18:19.122 --> 00:18:20.323
They might have a meeting, they'll put it on the calendar,
00:18:20.323 --> 00:18:22.392
They'll hold one this this friday,
00:18:22.392 --> 00:18:24.627
And then they'll have one a week after that.
00:18:24.627 --> 00:18:26.396
And then they'll have a report that puts together
00:18:26.396 --> 00:18:28.665
President trump doesn't act like that.
00:18:28.665 --> 00:18:30.366
President trump says, i want it now and i want it right now.
00:18:30.366 --> 00:18:33.203
And in fact, i want it yesterday.
00:18:33.203 --> 00:18:35.471
And so he'll post on through social.
00:18:35.471 --> 00:18:37.807
He'll say he'll go to his aides, he'll say, what should i say?
00:18:37.807 --> 00:18:40.410
What's the most important thing to do?
00:18:40.410 --> 00:18:41.978
They'll give him a couple of options.
00:18:41.978 --> 00:18:43.346
He'll say, boom, boom, boom, we're going to do this.
00:18:43.346 --> 00:18:45.582
It goes right up.
00:18:45.582 --> 00:18:46.716
Then boom, tariffs go down, boom.
00:18:46.716 --> 00:18:49.219
The true social goes up, boom.
00:18:49.219 --> 00:18:50.587
We are going to pull everything from your country.
00:18:50.587 --> 00:18:52.755
You don't follow our our request on this.
00:18:52.755 --> 00:18:56.759
And oh, by the way, we're not asking.
00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:58.962
We're telling.
00:18:58.962 --> 00:19:00.063
So it's an understanding of who the big gorilla is
00:19:00.063 --> 00:19:02.899
When it comes to the western hemisphere.
00:19:02.899 --> 00:19:04.534
But at the same time, when it when you look around the world,
00:19:04.534 --> 00:19:07.870
He isn't saying that we are going to continue
00:19:07.870 --> 00:19:09.806
To be the sort of world policeman
00:19:09.806 --> 00:19:11.741
That we are going to go and get involved in the affairs
00:19:11.741 --> 00:19:14.410
Of other nations and pursue this policy of endless wars,
00:19:14.410 --> 00:19:17.280
He said.
00:19:17.280 --> 00:19:18.081
We are going to pursue endless peace.
00:19:18.081 --> 00:19:20.383
We're going to find peace, whether
00:19:20.383 --> 00:19:22.418
Whether we need to end the war where it is,
00:19:22.418 --> 00:19:24.854
If we can find negotiations, we're going to facilitate that,
00:19:24.854 --> 00:19:27.523
But we're not going to look for meddling in affairs of others.
00:19:27.523 --> 00:19:31.427
But when it comes to something like, oh, i don't know,
00:19:31.427 --> 00:19:33.396
The mexican drug cartels,
00:19:33.396 --> 00:19:35.398
Then absolutely,
00:19:35.398 --> 00:19:36.532
We're going to be looking at all options on the table,
00:19:36.532 --> 00:19:39.168
Including the use of the united states military. amen.
00:19:39.168 --> 00:19:41.771
It is a new day, no doubt.
00:19:41.771 --> 00:19:43.273
Jack. you are a man of faith.
00:19:43.273 --> 00:19:44.807
You're open about your faith.
00:19:44.807 --> 00:19:46.242
What does this
00:19:46.242 --> 00:19:47.477
Administration meant so far just a short time back in office
00:19:47.477 --> 00:19:49.779
For people of faith,
00:19:49.779 --> 00:19:51.014
For christians, for the pro-life movement.
00:19:51.014 --> 00:19:53.283
This seems we're talking about a new day,
00:19:53.283 --> 00:19:55.184
Certainly a new day
00:19:55.184 --> 00:19:56.386
When it comes for believers under this administration
00:19:56.386 --> 00:19:59.255
And freedom of religion.
00:19:59.255 --> 00:20:02.258
Well, i think it's amazing.
00:20:02.258 --> 00:20:03.459
I attended the pro-life march, the march for life there on
00:20:03.459 --> 00:20:07.363
Just i guess, about a week ago. and now week and a half ago.
00:20:07.363 --> 00:20:09.966
I've been going for almost 30 years now
00:20:09.966 --> 00:20:12.568
Because i've been going
00:20:12.568 --> 00:20:13.469
Since i was a kid to the march for life.
00:20:13.469 --> 00:20:15.672
Jd vance giving an incredible speech there.
00:20:15.672 --> 00:20:18.474
And he said,
00:20:18.474 --> 00:20:19.475
You know, i think he said it's been turned
00:20:19.475 --> 00:20:20.877
Into a bit of an internet meme, but he said, i,
00:20:20.877 --> 00:20:22.845
I want to be very clear.
00:20:22.845 --> 00:20:24.414
I want more american babies.
00:20:24.414 --> 00:20:27.617
And i loved the statement that he made,
00:20:27.617 --> 00:20:29.652
Just cutting through to the heart of it, to saying
00:20:29.652 --> 00:20:32.555
That, look, we need as a religious movement,
00:20:32.555 --> 00:20:35.591
But also as a pro-life movement, to not simply define ourselves
00:20:35.591 --> 00:20:38.928
By that which we are against, but by that which we are for.
00:20:38.928 --> 00:20:41.764
We are for the family.
00:20:41.764 --> 00:20:42.932
We are for fathers and mothers in their traditional roles.
00:20:42.932 --> 00:20:47.003
We are for god in his place, and we are for the procreation
00:20:47.003 --> 00:20:51.808
Of our people, the procreation of us as a nation.
00:20:51.808 --> 00:20:55.645
That's the goal.
00:20:55.645 --> 00:20:56.979
Obviously, we understand that life happens
00:20:56.979 --> 00:20:58.981
In all sorts of different occurrences and,
00:20:58.981 --> 00:21:02.051
You know, of the exponential variety can occur.
00:21:02.051 --> 00:21:05.321
But the goal of our society and the goal of our movement
00:21:05.321 --> 00:21:09.058
Should always be the propagation of us,
00:21:09.058 --> 00:21:12.395
The propagation of our children.
00:21:12.395 --> 00:21:13.629
And by the way,
00:21:13.629 --> 00:21:14.797
The care for those children going forward by the way,
00:21:14.797 --> 00:21:16.799
The march for life i even met this is crazy.
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:18.634
I met a socialist who was anti-abortion.
00:21:18.634 --> 00:21:21.938
So there's a new socialist anti-abortion group,
00:21:21.938 --> 00:21:25.341
And they were saying, they say,
00:21:25.341 --> 00:21:26.776
Okay, we're we're anti abortion, but we think that
00:21:26.776 --> 00:21:29.445
Birth should be free
00:21:29.445 --> 00:21:30.947
And that the first two years for the kids should be free.
00:21:30.947 --> 00:21:33.182
And i said, you know something, i'm interested.
00:21:33.182 --> 00:21:36.018
Let me let me let me see what you have to say about that,
00:21:36.018 --> 00:21:38.454
Because i've never encountered something like that before.
00:21:38.454 --> 00:21:41.357
But you know what that shows me?
00:21:41.357 --> 00:21:42.725
That shows me that we're winning on this
00:21:42.725 --> 00:21:44.494
Because we've made abortion to be a shameful act.
00:21:44.494 --> 00:21:47.730
We've made it to be
00:21:47.730 --> 00:21:48.998
Something that people look down on, as we should as a nation.
00:21:48.998 --> 00:21:52.535
And by the way, we're doing
00:21:52.535 --> 00:21:53.703
So by winning hearts and minds and showing how much we it's
00:21:53.703 --> 00:21:56.839
Not that we hate. it's that we love children.
00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:59.409
We love babies. and
00:21:59.409 --> 00:22:01.811
The vice president
00:22:01.811 --> 00:22:02.879
Said we want more american babies in this country.
00:22:02.879 --> 00:22:05.581
Amen, jack. well-said, as always, my friend.
00:22:05.581 --> 00:22:08.050
Jack posobiec,
00:22:08.050 --> 00:22:09.118
Host of human events daily on the real america's
00:22:09.118 --> 00:22:11.053
Voice network, author of great books, folks
00:22:11.053 --> 00:22:13.089
Like unhuman, bull, proof, be sure to follow jack across x.
00:22:13.089 --> 00:22:16.826
He's only got 3 million followers there, and he's got
00:22:16.826 --> 00:22:19.662
That many for a reason because he does great work.
00:22:19.662 --> 00:22:21.964
Jack. god bless my friend. we will see you again soon.
00:22:21.964 --> 00:22:24.133
And coming up after the break, my final thoughts on what comes
00:22:24.133 --> 00:22:27.937
Next in the next 100 days of this new administration.
00:22:27.937 --> 00:22:31.808
Stick around.
00:22:31.808 --> 00:22:35.000
Stick around.
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.681
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
00:22:38.449 --> 00:22:39.716
Folks.
00:22:39.716 --> 00:22:40.551
As we wrap up here, we hear a lot
00:22:40.551 --> 00:22:41.552
About the importance of the first 100 days
00:22:41.552 --> 00:22:44.121
For any president in their new term.
00:22:44.121 --> 00:22:45.856
Well, if the next 84 days or anything like donald trump's
00:22:45.856 --> 00:22:49.159
First 16 days back in office, fasten your seatbelt.
00:22:49.159 --> 00:22:52.763
It makes me think of the book of isaiah chapter 43, verse 19,
00:22:52.763 --> 00:22:56.200
Sea god says, i am doing a new thing now.
00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:00.037
It springs up. do you not perceive it?
00:23:00.037 --> 00:23:02.239
I am making a way
00:23:02.239 --> 00:23:03.474
In the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
00:23:03.474 --> 00:23:06.477
Good things are happening.
00:23:06.477 --> 00:23:07.744
God is on the move, so be encouraged.
00:23:07.744 --> 00:23:10.481
And tomorrow, officer brandon tatum will be with us
00:23:10.481 --> 00:23:13.650
And bradley bowman with the middle east
00:23:13.650 --> 00:23:15.252
Foreign policy breakdown on friday,
00:23:15.252 --> 00:23:17.087
The one and only general michael flynn is here.
00:23:17.087 --> 00:23:19.590
You will not want to miss it until tomorrow.
00:23:19.590 --> 00:23:21.859
God bless you. season.
00:23:21.859 --> 00:23:21.859
