Stakelbeck Tonight | Erick Stakelbeck: Infiltrating the West | Stakelbeck Tonight | December 18, 2025
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:17.907 --> 00:00:19.476
- I'm erick stakelbeck.
- 00:00:19.476 --> 00:00:20.610
- And the west is facing another great
- 00:00:20.610 --> 00:00:23.646
- Wave of jihad, but this time with a twist.
- 00:00:23.646 --> 00:00:28.451
- In previous generations, islamic armies invaded the west,
- 00:00:28.451 --> 00:00:31.855
- Conquering spain, sicily, greece and the balkans,
- 00:00:31.855 --> 00:00:35.859
- Reaching the gates of vienna twice, and even driving
- 00:00:35.859 --> 00:00:39.696
- Into central france before being turned back.
- 00:00:39.696 --> 00:00:43.433
- There were times
- 00:00:43.433 --> 00:00:44.601
- In the early days of islam and during the ottoman period,
- 00:00:44.601 --> 00:00:47.504
- When europe was in serious danger of falling,
- 00:00:47.504 --> 00:00:50.907
- But it persevered.
- 00:00:51.341 --> 00:00:52.775
- Western civilization rallied,
- 00:00:52.775 --> 00:00:55.178
- And judeo-christian values remained.
- 00:00:55.178 --> 00:00:57.780
- But those leading the west today have very short memories.
- 00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:01.951
- Today, there is a
- 00:01:01.951 --> 00:01:03.086
- Different sort of invasion taking place here in the west,
- 00:01:03.086 --> 00:01:07.023
- And this time it's being aided and abetted by western leaders.
- 00:01:07.023 --> 00:01:11.561
- We saw the bitter fruits of this cultural suicide
- 00:01:11.561 --> 00:01:14.364
- Last sunday in australia, and every day in europe,
- 00:01:14.364 --> 00:01:17.634
- Where christmas markets now resemble armed fortresses.
- 00:01:17.634 --> 00:01:21.905
- Now, more than ever, christians and jews need to stand together
- 00:01:21.905 --> 00:01:26.376
- To defend our shared civilization.
- 00:01:26.376 --> 00:01:29.245
- Michele bachmann knows that better than anyone.
- 00:01:29.245 --> 00:01:31.981
- She's a former congresswoman and the current dean
- 00:01:31.981 --> 00:01:34.551
- Of the robertson school of government
- 00:01:34.551 --> 00:01:36.319
- At regent university, and she joins us now.
- 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:39.122
- Michele, always great to see you.
- 00:01:39.122 --> 00:01:41.157
- And i think the phrase cultural suicide
- 00:01:41.157 --> 00:01:44.160
- Really sums up what we're seeing in the west today.
- 00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:47.497
- President trump, of course, here in america,
- 00:01:47.497 --> 00:01:49.566
- Trying to turn things around after years of insane policies.
- 00:01:49.566 --> 00:01:53.937
- But in europe, michele, canada, australia,
- 00:01:53.937 --> 00:01:57.473
- It seems that these leaders have lost the will to fight
- 00:01:57.473 --> 00:02:01.110
- And are actually inviting in mass muslim migration.
- 00:02:01.110 --> 00:02:05.348
- Do you feel like
- 00:02:05.348 --> 00:02:06.549
- We are at a very dangerous point right now for the west?
- 00:02:06.549 --> 00:02:10.320
- Yes, absolutely.
- 00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:11.888
- We're at a very dangerous point, and i'm extremely grateful
- 00:02:11.888 --> 00:02:15.391
- That president donald john, donald trump is in his position.
- 00:02:15.391 --> 00:02:19.529
- We've never had a president who's fully understood
- 00:02:19.529 --> 00:02:22.565
- And appreciated the threats from the muslim brotherhood
- 00:02:22.565 --> 00:02:26.002
- Like donald trump.
- 00:02:26.002 --> 00:02:27.170
- So he's making a lot of right decisions.
- 00:02:27.170 --> 00:02:30.273
- And i think what your audience
- 00:02:30.273 --> 00:02:32.208
- Needs to understand is this is intentional.
- 00:02:32.208 --> 00:02:35.211
- The muslim brotherhood is an organization
- 00:02:35.211 --> 00:02:37.213
- That's been around since 1928,
- 00:02:37.213 --> 00:02:39.349
- And they have a stated objective,
- 00:02:39.349 --> 00:02:41.517
- And that's to integrate themselves
- 00:02:41.517 --> 00:02:43.453
- Into the west in a nonviolent way.
- 00:02:43.453 --> 00:02:46.556
- They have a comprehensive
- 00:02:46.556 --> 00:02:49.292
- Inter-generational strategy,
- 00:02:49.292 --> 00:02:51.861
- And their goal is to worm their way
- 00:02:51.861 --> 00:02:54.931
- Into our society and then turn the west away
- 00:02:54.931 --> 00:02:58.234
- From our original values and turn us toward islam.
- 00:02:58.234 --> 00:03:02.305
- It's hard to believe that something like
- 00:03:02.305 --> 00:03:04.607
- That could happen, but it does because they understand
- 00:03:04.607 --> 00:03:08.511
- They need to control
- 00:03:08.511 --> 00:03:09.746
- The fulcrum of power, starting with our education system.
- 00:03:09.746 --> 00:03:13.716
- And they've gone a long way through our education system,
- 00:03:13.716 --> 00:03:16.352
- But they're also integrating government.
- 00:03:16.352 --> 00:03:18.187
- That's why this wasn't an accident,
- 00:03:18.187 --> 00:03:20.657
- That mondale became the governor of new york.
- 00:03:20.657 --> 00:03:24.227
- He's the most improbable candidate there is,
- 00:03:24.227 --> 00:03:26.829
- But he's there because muslims are now embarking on a strategy
- 00:03:26.829 --> 00:03:30.967
- In the west of taking over positions of power and influence
- 00:03:30.967 --> 00:03:35.305
- Within the government of the west.
- 00:03:35.305 --> 00:03:38.074
- And this is something that we need to recognize, that
- 00:03:38.074 --> 00:03:41.010
- We need to not worry about being called racists.
- 00:03:41.010 --> 00:03:43.880
- We need to be on an effort to save our society,
- 00:03:43.880 --> 00:03:47.784
- Because the other side has a very strategic plan
- 00:03:47.784 --> 00:03:51.354
- That they're now in the process of implementing.
- 00:03:51.354 --> 00:03:53.923
- Yeah, michele, great points all around.
- 00:03:53.923 --> 00:03:55.458
- And that islamophobia
- 00:03:55.458 --> 00:03:56.893
- Charge is being thrown around in your home state of minnesota.
- 00:03:56.893 --> 00:04:00.863
- And we've got this somali fraud scandal right now.
- 00:04:00.863 --> 00:04:04.634
- Talk more about that.
- 00:04:04.634 --> 00:04:05.902
- How the somali mass migration has really changed the face
- 00:04:05.902 --> 00:04:08.971
- Of minneapolis in particular.
- 00:04:08.971 --> 00:04:11.240
- It did.
- 00:04:11.474 --> 00:04:11.974
- And it's weird.
- 00:04:11.974 --> 00:04:13.409
- It began after bill clinton made a mess in somalia.
- 00:04:13.409 --> 00:04:17.780
- You might remember the movie black hawk down with meg ryan,
- 00:04:17.780 --> 00:04:22.018
- And it was about a terrible decision that,
- 00:04:22.018 --> 00:04:24.921
- That bill clinton made.
- 00:04:24.921 --> 00:04:26.389
- Remember, there were 18 marines who were dragged
- 00:04:26.389 --> 00:04:29.859
- Through the city of mogadishu, and he looked terrible.
- 00:04:29.859 --> 00:04:32.895
- And so his response was, well, let's make somalis like us.
- 00:04:32.895 --> 00:04:37.333
- Let's bring people from one of the most primitive,
- 00:04:37.333 --> 00:04:39.969
- Backward societies in the world.
- 00:04:39.969 --> 00:04:42.171
- The one of the top terror nations of the world.
- 00:04:42.171 --> 00:04:44.941
- Let's bring them into the united states.
- 00:04:44.941 --> 00:04:47.009
- Let's show them how great the american way of life is.
- 00:04:47.009 --> 00:04:49.979
- And we'll educate them, and they'll make money.
- 00:04:49.979 --> 00:04:52.548
- And then they can go back to somalia
- 00:04:52.548 --> 00:04:54.217
- And tell them how great we are.
- 00:04:54.217 --> 00:04:55.885
- Well, that's exactly the opposite,
- 00:04:55.885 --> 00:04:58.254
- Because different people have different mindsets.
- 00:04:58.254 --> 00:05:01.657
- And the mindset in somalia is a fraud based mentality.
- 00:05:01.657 --> 00:05:06.095
- I want to encourage your viewers to watch the movie
- 00:05:06.095 --> 00:05:08.765
- Captain phillips.
- 00:05:08.765 --> 00:05:09.999
- It starred tom hanks.
- 00:05:09.999 --> 00:05:11.601
- You really get an idea of the mindset of somalis.
- 00:05:11.601 --> 00:05:15.838
- It's a pirate fraud based society.
- 00:05:15.838 --> 00:05:19.342
- And so they came to the united states.
- 00:05:19.342 --> 00:05:21.544
- And minnesota is the most generous
- 00:05:21.544 --> 00:05:23.112
- Welfare state in the country.
- 00:05:23.112 --> 00:05:24.781
- And so minnesota gave them every opportunity and advantage.
- 00:05:24.781 --> 00:05:28.684
- But of course, they brought their mentality of fraud.
- 00:05:28.684 --> 00:05:32.522
- And so they began every program that was available.
- 00:05:32.522 --> 00:05:36.159
- They they they used fraud based lies,
- 00:05:36.159 --> 00:05:40.696
- And they stole all the money
- 00:05:40.696 --> 00:05:42.331
- They could because in their culture,
- 00:05:42.331 --> 00:05:44.400
- They don't go to government.
- 00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:45.902
- They, they,
- 00:05:45.902 --> 00:05:47.036
- They steal things and they give it to their family.
- 00:05:47.036 --> 00:05:49.439
- So that's what they did here in minnesota.
- 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.441
- They stole money from minnesota, literally probably $8 billion.
- 00:05:51.441 --> 00:05:55.812
- You hear 1 billion.
- 00:05:55.812 --> 00:05:57.013
- It's probably more like at least 8 billion they've stolen.
- 00:05:57.013 --> 00:05:59.816
- And that's gone back to somalia.
- 00:05:59.816 --> 00:06:01.584
- And it's also gone to fund muslim brotherhood terror
- 00:06:01.584 --> 00:06:05.054
- Organizations like al shabab.
- 00:06:05.054 --> 00:06:06.989
- This is a really serious case.
- 00:06:06.989 --> 00:06:09.158
- And thank goodness, this last weekend,
- 00:06:09.158 --> 00:06:11.294
- The trump administration picked up through ice 400
- 00:06:11.294 --> 00:06:15.031
- Illegal aliens in minnesota.
- 00:06:15.031 --> 00:06:16.699
- I hope there's many thousands more.
- 00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:19.535
- Yeah, michele. so alarming.
- 00:06:19.535 --> 00:06:20.837
- Great breakdown all around.
- 00:06:20.837 --> 00:06:22.071
- This all happened under the watch of minnesota
- 00:06:22.071 --> 00:06:24.006
- Governor tim walz, of course.
- 00:06:24.006 --> 00:06:25.541
- And you made a great point about the twin cities
- 00:06:25.541 --> 00:06:28.411
- Being a bit of a terror pipeline back to somalia.
- 00:06:28.411 --> 00:06:31.414
- Dangerous situation.
- 00:06:31.414 --> 00:06:32.615
- Thank god president trump is getting it under control.
- 00:06:32.615 --> 00:06:35.251
- Much more work needs to be done, though.
- 00:06:35.251 --> 00:06:36.953
- The one and only michele bachmann
- 00:06:36.953 --> 00:06:38.287
- Will be joining us again after the break.
- 00:06:38.287 --> 00:06:39.889
- Folks, what about israel's role in all this?
- 00:06:39.889 --> 00:06:41.858
- Israel, the first line of defense
- 00:06:41.858 --> 00:06:44.393
- For western civilization.
- 00:06:44.393 --> 00:06:45.828
- Michele bachmann will break down with us next.
- 00:06:45.828 --> 00:06:48.397
- They'll move.
- 00:06:48.397 --> 00:06:53.007
- They'll move.
- 00:06:53.007 --> 00:06:56.538
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight,
- 00:06:57.305 --> 00:06:58.773
- We're talking to our good friend michele bachmann, former
- 00:06:58.773 --> 00:07:01.042
- Congresswoman and current dean
- 00:07:01.042 --> 00:07:03.044
- Of the robertson school of government at regent university.
- 00:07:03.044 --> 00:07:06.781
- Michele, there's an old saying in the world of radical islam,
- 00:07:06.781 --> 00:07:09.217
- First, the saturday people, the jews,
- 00:07:09.217 --> 00:07:11.286
- Then the sunday people, the christians.
- 00:07:11.286 --> 00:07:14.155
- You would think that western leaders
- 00:07:14.155 --> 00:07:15.857
- And diplomats would grasp this fact,
- 00:07:15.857 --> 00:07:18.059
- And yet they seem
- 00:07:18.059 --> 00:07:19.561
- To be tripping over themselves to abandon the state of israel.
- 00:07:19.561 --> 00:07:22.998
- They're unilaterally declaring a palestinian state.
- 00:07:22.998 --> 00:07:25.967
- Can you talk more about israel as the first line of defense
- 00:07:25.967 --> 00:07:30.071
- For western civilization?
- 00:07:30.071 --> 00:07:31.439
- And i'm not sure why western leaders don't grasp that.
- 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.342
- We share the same jihadist enemies.
- 00:07:34.342 --> 00:07:37.746
- No, you're right about that.
- 00:07:37.746 --> 00:07:38.980
- And and here i would refer to the bible,
- 00:07:38.980 --> 00:07:41.416
- Because the bible is very clear that god, through his covenant
- 00:07:41.416 --> 00:07:45.854
- To redeem all mankind, chose a specific people
- 00:07:45.854 --> 00:07:49.024
- Group, that is israel, the jewish people.
- 00:07:49.024 --> 00:07:52.193
- And that began with abraham, isaac, jacob
- 00:07:52.193 --> 00:07:54.829
- And their descendants.
- 00:07:54.829 --> 00:07:55.997
- So that people group was chosen to be in a specific land
- 00:07:55.997 --> 00:08:00.035
- That again, god chose the contours of that land.
- 00:08:00.035 --> 00:08:02.837
- So this is no one's choice.
- 00:08:02.837 --> 00:08:04.472
- This isn't as a political choice.
- 00:08:04.472 --> 00:08:06.441
- God made this choice,
- 00:08:06.441 --> 00:08:08.243
- And god gave to the jewish people his law.
- 00:08:08.243 --> 00:08:12.013
- He gave his glory.
- 00:08:12.013 --> 00:08:13.448
- He gave his covenant.
- 00:08:13.448 --> 00:08:15.250
- He gave the promises,
- 00:08:15.250 --> 00:08:17.419
- All of the riches that he gave to israel.
- 00:08:17.419 --> 00:08:20.956
- And that's
- 00:08:20.956 --> 00:08:22.123
- Because god chose israel to be a light to the nations.
- 00:08:22.123 --> 00:08:24.859
- Israel was meant to be the standard.
- 00:08:24.859 --> 00:08:27.062
- In fact, moses said to pharaoh, israel,
- 00:08:27.062 --> 00:08:30.799
- My first born nation, my first born son.
- 00:08:30.799 --> 00:08:35.070
- And so israel is the light on the hill.
- 00:08:35.070 --> 00:08:37.806
- And it isn't that everything that the israel nation does is
- 00:08:37.806 --> 00:08:41.443
- Greater that all the jews are right?
- 00:08:41.443 --> 00:08:43.878
- But what god entrusted to the jews was to be a standard
- 00:08:43.878 --> 00:08:48.950
- Bearer for all nations, for all mankind, for all time.
- 00:08:48.950 --> 00:08:53.154
- And this standard would teach us how to live
- 00:08:53.154 --> 00:08:56.491
- To serve one god, not false gods, one god.
- 00:08:56.491 --> 00:09:00.228
- And as we align ourselves with israel, with god's
- 00:09:00.228 --> 00:09:03.431
- Standards and purposes, then we see blessings.
- 00:09:03.431 --> 00:09:06.701
- That's the basis of genesis 12 three that his nations
- 00:09:06.701 --> 00:09:11.172
- Bless the jewish people and the nation of israel.
- 00:09:11.172 --> 00:09:14.743
- They'll be blessed.
- 00:09:14.743 --> 00:09:16.011
- But also if they curse israel and the jews, they'll be curse.
- 00:09:16.011 --> 00:09:19.114
- We've seen this throughout history.
- 00:09:19.114 --> 00:09:21.149
- All these nations that are no longer alive
- 00:09:21.149 --> 00:09:23.618
- Because they cursed israel.
- 00:09:23.618 --> 00:09:25.053
- And yet which nation still survives?
- 00:09:25.053 --> 00:09:27.822
- The jewish people?
- 00:09:27.822 --> 00:09:29.190
- It's because of the right hand of god almighty.
- 00:09:29.190 --> 00:09:31.459
- So i've seen it both as a believer and jesus christ.
- 00:09:31.459 --> 00:09:35.263
- But i've seen this also as a member of congress, serving
- 00:09:35.263 --> 00:09:38.566
- On the intelligence committee, dealing with foreign affairs.
- 00:09:38.566 --> 00:09:42.404
- God's principles are true,
- 00:09:42.404 --> 00:09:44.239
- And i've seen them proved out myself.
- 00:09:44.239 --> 00:09:46.207
- Yeah. amen. michelle.
- 00:09:46.207 --> 00:09:47.175
- So well said. this is a spiritual struggle.
- 00:09:47.175 --> 00:09:49.611
- We are locked in.
- 00:09:49.611 --> 00:09:50.779
- We see that clearly in the demonic rise of anti-semitism.
- 00:09:50.779 --> 00:09:53.948
- We expect it.
- 00:09:53.948 --> 00:09:55.083
- Michelle, sadly, from the radical left, radical islam.
- 00:09:55.083 --> 00:09:57.352
- But there are portions now of the right
- 00:09:57.352 --> 00:09:59.421
- The tucker carlson, candace
- 00:09:59.421 --> 00:10:00.989
- Owens wing, i guess you could call them
- 00:10:00.989 --> 00:10:03.024
- Who are engaging in this as well.
- 00:10:03.024 --> 00:10:04.993
- How troubled are you by that?
- 00:10:04.993 --> 00:10:06.995
- And this seems like the kind of thing that right now
- 00:10:06.995 --> 00:10:08.897
- Is, in a sense, splitting the conservative
- 00:10:08.897 --> 00:10:10.865
- Movement at a crucial time.
- 00:10:10.865 --> 00:10:13.268
- It absolutely is.
- 00:10:13.702 --> 00:10:14.536
- I saw it myself, firsthand.
- 00:10:14.536 --> 00:10:16.304
- I was in tampa, florida.
- 00:10:16.304 --> 00:10:17.872
- I was asked to speak at charlie kirk's last event that he did,
- 00:10:17.872 --> 00:10:21.743
- And that was the last time that i spoke to charlie.
- 00:10:21.743 --> 00:10:24.179
- I've known charlie for years.
- 00:10:24.179 --> 00:10:25.747
- He asked me to serve on his advisory
- 00:10:25.747 --> 00:10:27.716
- Board for tp, usa when i was first starting out,
- 00:10:27.716 --> 00:10:30.518
- And tucker carlson gave an unhinged anti-israel
- 00:10:30.518 --> 00:10:34.222
- Rant on friday night, and he sounded like a demagogue.
- 00:10:34.222 --> 00:10:38.059
- And here you had an entire auditorium filled with young
- 00:10:38.059 --> 00:10:41.196
- People, young, primarily christian, conservative people,
- 00:10:41.196 --> 00:10:44.299
- And they were pro-israel.
- 00:10:44.299 --> 00:10:46.000
- I don't know that they
- 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.235
- Necessarily knew why they were, but they just were pro-israel.
- 00:10:47.235 --> 00:10:50.505
- But after tucker carlson was done, i could feel it.
- 00:10:50.505 --> 00:10:53.508
- In the auditorium.
- 00:10:53.508 --> 00:10:54.843
- There was a shift in the viewpoint
- 00:10:54.843 --> 00:10:57.078
- Of the young people there, because the young people didn't
- 00:10:57.078 --> 00:10:59.247
- Have a doctrinal basis of why to support israel.
- 00:10:59.247 --> 00:11:02.751
- And so there was a real question mark over israel.
- 00:11:02.751 --> 00:11:05.553
- And tucker carlson did that.
- 00:11:05.553 --> 00:11:07.622
- I left that event feeling very concerned
- 00:11:07.622 --> 00:11:11.259
- About what was happening on the right.
- 00:11:11.259 --> 00:11:13.228
- And since then, between candace owens, tucker carlson
- 00:11:13.228 --> 00:11:16.765
- And other speakers on the right,
- 00:11:16.765 --> 00:11:18.666
- We've got to wake up and realize we have a real problem
- 00:11:18.666 --> 00:11:21.669
- In the conservative movement of being anti-israel,
- 00:11:21.669 --> 00:11:24.906
- Because and it makes sense, the, the those who are in favor
- 00:11:24.906 --> 00:11:28.676
- Of islam already conquered, the democrat party.
- 00:11:28.676 --> 00:11:32.714
- So now they're working on the republican party
- 00:11:32.714 --> 00:11:35.150
- And they're splitting us down the middle.
- 00:11:35.150 --> 00:11:36.885
- So that's why we need pastors, and we need laypeople
- 00:11:36.885 --> 00:11:40.121
- To stand up and give the reasoned analysis
- 00:11:40.121 --> 00:11:43.458
- Why it's good for america to support israel.
- 00:11:43.458 --> 00:11:47.162
- And every other nation, as far as that goes.
- 00:11:47.162 --> 00:11:49.564
- Yeah. and look, the midterms coming up in november, michele.
- 00:11:49.564 --> 00:11:52.300
- Of course there you're not that far away.
- 00:11:52.300 --> 00:11:54.235
- This could be a major issue that really hurts republicans.
- 00:11:54.235 --> 00:11:57.172
- If antisemitism continues to grow in the party
- 00:11:57.172 --> 00:12:00.208
- And become more prominent, it's it's a really alarming trend.
- 00:12:00.208 --> 00:12:03.178
- As you said, the democrat party has gone far
- 00:12:03.178 --> 00:12:05.547
- Down that road and it brings nothing good as we know.
- 00:12:05.547 --> 00:12:09.384
- Hey, about a minute left.
- 00:12:09.384 --> 00:12:11.486
- Christmas is almost upon us.
- 00:12:11.486 --> 00:12:13.221
- Any thoughts from you as we enter the christmas season?
- 00:12:13.221 --> 00:12:16.191
- I know you're very busy.
- 00:12:16.191 --> 00:12:17.292
- Of course with your family, everything else,
- 00:12:17.292 --> 00:12:19.127
- Anything you're looking forward to in 2026 as we close out
- 00:12:19.127 --> 00:12:22.697
- A very eventful year,
- 00:12:22.697 --> 00:12:24.365
- I am looking forward to continuing to advance
- 00:12:25.266 --> 00:12:28.036
- The knowledge of jesus christ through the next generation.
- 00:12:28.036 --> 00:12:30.805
- I try to do that as dean of the robertson school of government.
- 00:12:30.805 --> 00:12:34.209
- We have undergrad, master's programs,
- 00:12:34.209 --> 00:12:37.312
- Phd programs,
- 00:12:37.312 --> 00:12:38.246
- But we also launched an israel institute
- 00:12:38.246 --> 00:12:40.548
- Because what i saw is that young people
- 00:12:40.548 --> 00:12:42.584
- Don't have the background to know what they believe, why
- 00:12:42.584 --> 00:12:46.654
- They believe, or what they believe.
- 00:12:46.654 --> 00:12:48.323
- So we're very keen
- 00:12:48.323 --> 00:12:49.958
- On specifically targeting this next generation.
- 00:12:49.958 --> 00:12:53.228
- A lot of evil forces are targeting our kids,
- 00:12:53.228 --> 00:12:56.331
- And it's time that we target our children with truth
- 00:12:56.331 --> 00:12:59.667
- And arm them with truth, because that will help them
- 00:12:59.667 --> 00:13:03.037
- To live
- 00:13:03.037 --> 00:13:04.172
- The most satisfying, happy lives that they possibly can.
- 00:13:04.172 --> 00:13:08.176
- And that's what we want.
- 00:13:08.176 --> 00:13:09.410
- Just like paul to timothy,
- 00:13:09.410 --> 00:13:11.179
- Faithfully transfer the gospel of jesus christ
- 00:13:11.179 --> 00:13:14.215
- To the next generation.
- 00:13:14.215 --> 00:13:15.617
- That's what i'm looking forward to in 2026.
- 00:13:15.617 --> 00:13:18.386
- Amen. michelle. so well said.
- 00:13:18.386 --> 00:13:20.088
- Keep up the great work at regent university.
- 00:13:20.088 --> 00:13:22.490
- We love everything you're doing there, michelle.
- 00:13:22.490 --> 00:13:24.459
- God bless you.
- 00:13:24.459 --> 00:13:25.426
- Merry christmas, we'll see you again soon.
- 00:13:25.426 --> 00:13:27.562
- And coming up after the break, doctor
- 00:13:27.562 --> 00:13:29.264
- Michael yousef is here with a very important
- 00:13:29.264 --> 00:13:31.699
- Update, folks that you will not want to miss.
- 00:13:31.699 --> 00:13:34.369
- That's next. stick around.
- 00:13:34.369 --> 00:13:41.000
- That's next. stick around.
- 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.747
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight,
- 00:13:44.514 --> 00:13:46.249
- As cultural pressures rise and spiritual confusion grows.
- 00:13:46.249 --> 00:13:50.954
- Our next guest says
- 00:13:50.954 --> 00:13:52.188
- Believers are fighting a battle we cannot afford to ignore.
- 00:13:52.188 --> 00:13:55.558
- Our good friend, doctor michael seth, is president
- 00:13:55.558 --> 00:13:57.894
- Of leading the way ministries and pastor
- 00:13:57.894 --> 00:14:00.130
- At church of the apostles in atlanta, georgia.
- 00:14:00.130 --> 00:14:02.766
- He has a great new book called winning the invisible war
- 00:14:02.766 --> 00:14:06.136
- How to recognize lies, resist temptation,
- 00:14:06.136 --> 00:14:09.239
- And be victorious in spiritual warfare.
- 00:14:09.239 --> 00:14:12.375
- It lays out a clear strategy for victory
- 00:14:12.375 --> 00:14:14.711
- In these challenging times, and doctor
- 00:14:14.711 --> 00:14:16.646
- Yousef joined me recently to share more about it.
- 00:14:16.646 --> 00:14:19.516
- Take a look.
- 00:14:19.516 --> 00:14:21.651
- Doctor yousef, always great to see you.
- 00:14:21.651 --> 00:14:23.954
- And it goes without saying that, hey, this book is timely.
- 00:14:23.954 --> 00:14:26.723
- We say that a lot, but this book is really very timely.
- 00:14:26.723 --> 00:14:30.760
- Michael, i see, i feel the spiritual warfare.
- 00:14:30.760 --> 00:14:35.031
- It seems to be intensifying.
- 00:14:35.031 --> 00:14:37.267
- Did you see that?
- 00:14:37.267 --> 00:14:38.301
- Do you feel that?
- 00:14:38.301 --> 00:14:39.369
- Is that why you wrote this book?
- 00:14:39.369 --> 00:14:41.671
- Absolutely, erica.
- 00:14:41.671 --> 00:14:43.473
- First of all, let me tell you what a joy
- 00:14:43.473 --> 00:14:45.475
- It is to see you again and be with you again.
- 00:14:45.475 --> 00:14:48.378
- And i thank you for your ministry.
- 00:14:48.378 --> 00:14:50.380
- It is very significant around the world.
- 00:14:50.380 --> 00:14:53.917
- As i travel, i see the impact of your truth
- 00:14:53.917 --> 00:14:57.821
- That you proclaiming on on your show every week.
- 00:14:57.821 --> 00:15:01.358
- I thank you for that.
- 00:15:01.358 --> 00:15:02.926
- The problem was, is, you know,
- 00:15:03.526 --> 00:15:05.562
- Number one, satan is known as the the greatest liar, right?
- 00:15:05.562 --> 00:15:09.065
- That the father of lies in the bible.
- 00:15:09.065 --> 00:15:12.535
- And when you see lying
- 00:15:12.535 --> 00:15:15.071
- Is penetrating
- 00:15:15.071 --> 00:15:17.874
- Every aspect of life.
- 00:15:17.874 --> 00:15:20.076
- I'm not in the old days,
- 00:15:20.076 --> 00:15:22.479
- You know, lying was kind of look frowned upon.
- 00:15:22.479 --> 00:15:25.849
- Now it is a virtue among some of the people
- 00:15:25.849 --> 00:15:29.319
- In secular media and politics.
- 00:15:29.319 --> 00:15:32.589
- And and they would literally lie.
- 00:15:32.589 --> 00:15:34.858
- It was it was impunity.
- 00:15:34.858 --> 00:15:36.459
- And and so we i feel that satan now power
- 00:15:36.459 --> 00:15:40.730
- Is penetrating deep even into some
- 00:15:40.730 --> 00:15:44.868
- Professing churches and professing christians.
- 00:15:44.868 --> 00:15:48.071
- And there's such a confusion on the subject of satan
- 00:15:48.071 --> 00:15:51.908
- And the spiritual warfare and the with the believers are in.
- 00:15:51.908 --> 00:15:56.079
- It's not the matter. we choose to be in it.
- 00:15:56.079 --> 00:15:58.048
- We are in it whether we like it or not.
- 00:15:58.048 --> 00:16:01.084
- But the question is, how can we not be victims but victors?
- 00:16:01.084 --> 00:16:06.689
- And that is the burden of my heart.
- 00:16:06.689 --> 00:16:08.992
- And with such confusion around from those
- 00:16:08.992 --> 00:16:12.729
- Who deny even the existence of satan's in the churches
- 00:16:12.729 --> 00:16:16.833
- And and those who deny the spiritual warfare.
- 00:16:16.833 --> 00:16:20.236
- So i said, i want to take people's back to the scripture.
- 00:16:20.236 --> 00:16:24.574
- It is not what i think.
- 00:16:24.574 --> 00:16:26.042
- It's not what they think.
- 00:16:26.042 --> 00:16:27.210
- It's what the word of god says.
- 00:16:27.210 --> 00:16:29.279
- And the victory can only come from
- 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:32.482
- Knowing, believing, and obeying the word of god.
- 00:16:32.482 --> 00:16:36.219
- And so i highlight all of those passages in the scripture
- 00:16:36.219 --> 00:16:40.757
- That teaches us about how to fight and win
- 00:16:40.757 --> 00:16:44.160
- The spiritual battle.
- 00:16:44.160 --> 00:16:45.462
- Yeah, michael, one aspect of the book is recognizing lies.
- 00:16:45.462 --> 00:16:48.765
- Another is resisting temptation,
- 00:16:48.765 --> 00:16:50.867
- Which has become more difficult to do
- 00:16:50.867 --> 00:16:52.769
- In this age of social media, especially for young people.
- 00:16:52.769 --> 00:16:56.439
- No boundaries, no guardrails, no common norms for morality.
- 00:16:56.439 --> 00:17:00.810
- It seems. any more talk about that.
- 00:17:00.810 --> 00:17:03.513
- The fight to resist temptation in this larger
- 00:17:03.513 --> 00:17:06.416
- Spiritual struggle,
- 00:17:06.416 --> 00:17:07.450
- In the culture
- 00:17:07.450 --> 00:17:08.685
- We're living in right now, where social media is so dominant?
- 00:17:08.685 --> 00:17:11.354
- Yeah.
- 00:17:11.588 --> 00:17:12.655
- You know, my heart literally goes to these people.
- 00:17:12.655 --> 00:17:16.626
- The average person in the church or in the pew
- 00:17:16.626 --> 00:17:20.864
- Who is so confused about this and about the
- 00:17:20.864 --> 00:17:25.869
- Not only the ability and the power
- 00:17:25.869 --> 00:17:28.438
- To resist temptation that's available to us,
- 00:17:28.438 --> 00:17:31.541
- But what grieves me and literally, i'm,
- 00:17:31.541 --> 00:17:34.744
- Probably the audience of, viewers of leading the way.
- 00:17:34.744 --> 00:17:37.547
- I know this i can literally weep over this,
- 00:17:37.547 --> 00:17:41.451
- That some evangelical pastors are now saying,
- 00:17:41.451 --> 00:17:45.588
- If you can't resist this temptation,
- 00:17:46.389 --> 00:17:49.425
- You just have to succumb to the fact that this is the way
- 00:17:49.425 --> 00:17:52.529
- God made you. and therefore,
- 00:17:52.529 --> 00:17:55.064
- It just,
- 00:17:55.331 --> 00:17:56.199
- You know, god is okay with it.
- 00:17:56.199 --> 00:17:58.902
- And these are, pastors in megachurch evangelical churches.
- 00:17:58.902 --> 00:18:03.673
- And that's what grieves me.
- 00:18:03.673 --> 00:18:05.441
- Some of them, a friends of mine.
- 00:18:05.441 --> 00:18:07.777
- And and so how far are we going to go with this?
- 00:18:07.777 --> 00:18:12.315
- Is that resisting of the temptation?
- 00:18:12.315 --> 00:18:14.751
- Number one, we cannot do it in our own strength.
- 00:18:14.751 --> 00:18:17.053
- There's no way any of us, including yours truly,
- 00:18:17.053 --> 00:18:21.324
- Can ever resist temptation with our own power.
- 00:18:21.324 --> 00:18:24.928
- Own strength, without the holy spirit
- 00:18:24.928 --> 00:18:28.164
- And his power in us, working in us,
- 00:18:28.164 --> 00:18:31.234
- And without the power of the word of god
- 00:18:31.234 --> 00:18:33.970
- Which is offered by the holy spirit anyway,
- 00:18:33.970 --> 00:18:37.240
- Without the word of god, without the spirit of god,
- 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.310
- We can't resist temptation.
- 00:18:40.310 --> 00:18:41.945
- So instead of just succumbing to it and
- 00:18:41.945 --> 00:18:44.747
- And giving into it and say, well, just
- 00:18:44.747 --> 00:18:46.783
- This is the way god made me, i can't help it, and then lower
- 00:18:46.783 --> 00:18:51.054
- The bar all the way to the ground.
- 00:18:51.054 --> 00:18:53.957
- We need to encourage people, motivate them, and said, look,
- 00:18:53.957 --> 00:18:58.027
- We know it's a struggle.
- 00:18:58.027 --> 00:18:59.896
- Paul said, our struggle is and
- 00:19:00.496 --> 00:19:03.466
- He used the word struggle is not with flesh and blood.
- 00:19:03.466 --> 00:19:06.636
- Our struggle
- 00:19:06.636 --> 00:19:08.071
- Is with supernatural powers and without our supernatural power.
- 00:19:08.071 --> 00:19:12.408
- He who's in us,
- 00:19:12.408 --> 00:19:13.543
- Who's greater than he is in the world, we can't win.
- 00:19:13.543 --> 00:19:16.613
- And so that is the truth. that's the fact.
- 00:19:16.613 --> 00:19:18.881
- And as i said, look, i failed.
- 00:19:18.881 --> 00:19:21.384
- I understand the bible said, if we say we have no sin,
- 00:19:21.384 --> 00:19:24.287
- We deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
- 00:19:24.287 --> 00:19:27.090
- But if we confess and so instead of training, encouraging,
- 00:19:27.090 --> 00:19:31.694
- Motivating, instructing,
- 00:19:32.228 --> 00:19:35.832
- People in the word of god and how to discipline
- 00:19:35.832 --> 00:19:39.102
- And how to, fight and win with the power of god,
- 00:19:39.102 --> 00:19:42.805
- We just say, you give up and you give up.
- 00:19:42.805 --> 00:19:45.975
- And that is really a tragic situation.
- 00:19:45.975 --> 00:19:49.145
- Yeah.
- 00:19:49.145 --> 00:19:49.712
- And you make the point,
- 00:19:49.712 --> 00:19:50.980
- Michael, throughout the book, that greater is he who is in us
- 00:19:50.980 --> 00:19:54.050
- Than what's in the world than the enemy.
- 00:19:54.050 --> 00:19:55.918
- We have jesus. that's all we need.
- 00:19:55.918 --> 00:19:58.721
- And folks, winning the invisible war.
- 00:19:58.721 --> 00:20:00.857
- By the way, just in time for christmas.
- 00:20:00.857 --> 00:20:02.358
- Amazon.com wherever books are sold.
- 00:20:02.358 --> 00:20:04.727
- Hey, doc, you said you recently made before we let you go.
- 00:20:04.727 --> 00:20:08.164
- A big announcement.
- 00:20:08.164 --> 00:20:09.165
- You're stepping down at your wonderful church
- 00:20:09.165 --> 00:20:10.967
- In atlanta, church of the apostles, in the summertime.
- 00:20:10.967 --> 00:20:14.037
- But that's only the beginning of the story.
- 00:20:14.037 --> 00:20:15.605
- You've got some big plans.
- 00:20:15.605 --> 00:20:16.739
- What's next for you?
- 00:20:16.739 --> 00:20:18.107
- Revival. stirring.
- 00:20:18.107 --> 00:20:19.208
- I know you're excited about some future plans.
- 00:20:19.208 --> 00:20:21.544
- Yes, well, i birthed the church under god, 39 years ago.
- 00:20:21.544 --> 00:20:26.783
- And for 28 adults.
- 00:20:26.783 --> 00:20:28.451
- And now the church has grown and god
- 00:20:28.451 --> 00:20:30.720
- Blessed and is impacting the world.
- 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.056
- And so, my son, who has been preaching for ten years,
- 00:20:33.056 --> 00:20:35.692
- Jonathan, doctor jonathan yusuf, who has finished his doctorate
- 00:20:35.692 --> 00:20:39.529
- In in, in ministry and preaching, is going to be,
- 00:20:39.529 --> 00:20:43.833
- Taking over and i'm going to,
- 00:20:43.833 --> 00:20:46.869
- Global evangelism as well as a wake
- 00:20:46.869 --> 00:20:50.206
- America campaign, which we started five years ago.
- 00:20:50.206 --> 00:20:53.576
- We have half a million people signed up to pray
- 00:20:53.576 --> 00:20:57.246
- For the third great awakening.
- 00:20:57.246 --> 00:20:59.482
- And so i've been on the road going to boston and dc,
- 00:20:59.482 --> 00:21:02.785
- And we got many, many, cities in the us, that we're going
- 00:21:02.785 --> 00:21:07.023
- To be going to and, other parts of the world,
- 00:21:07.023 --> 00:21:10.893
- Including i'm invited to do a crusade in baghdad,
- 00:21:10.893 --> 00:21:14.597
- Believe it or not.
- 00:21:14.597 --> 00:21:16.032
- And so i am rejoicing at the fact that god has opened doors
- 00:21:16.032 --> 00:21:20.136
- In the last five years.
- 00:21:20.136 --> 00:21:21.504
- I've had crusades in dublin, belfast and in,
- 00:21:21.504 --> 00:21:24.807
- In, in mexico, in, in australia, sydney, australia.
- 00:21:24.807 --> 00:21:28.778
- Where is a most amazing response?
- 00:21:28.778 --> 00:21:31.748
- Young people, thousands of young people coming to christ.
- 00:21:31.748 --> 00:21:34.751
- So everywhere we go, we felt that
- 00:21:34.751 --> 00:21:36.519
- God may be giving us the favor, the anointing for this.
- 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:39.689
- And, while i'm still have some energy,
- 00:21:39.689 --> 00:21:43.192
- I would say i'm 77,
- 00:21:43.659 --> 00:21:46.062
- But i have the stamina of, 47.
- 00:21:46.062 --> 00:21:48.931
- I guess the lord and his grace and his mercy has given me.
- 00:21:48.931 --> 00:21:53.169
- That's all.
- 00:21:53.169 --> 00:21:54.203
- I want to do this while i'm able to do it and
- 00:21:54.203 --> 00:21:56.472
- And and have the joy of seeing,
- 00:21:56.472 --> 00:21:59.675
- I long to see a million souls that will meet me in heaven
- 00:21:59.675 --> 00:22:02.912
- And said, we're here
- 00:22:02.912 --> 00:22:04.147
- Because you and your team brought the gospel to our town.
- 00:22:04.147 --> 00:22:07.950
- Amen. doctor yousef, thanks for that great update.
- 00:22:07.950 --> 00:22:10.586
- Thanks for all you do.
- 00:22:10.586 --> 00:22:11.788
- Thanks for winning the invisible war, folks.
- 00:22:11.788 --> 00:22:13.723
- Again, amazon.com.
- 00:22:13.723 --> 00:22:15.291
- Wherever books are sold just in time for christmas.
- 00:22:15.291 --> 00:22:18.127
- Doctor mike yousef, always a pleasure.
- 00:22:18.127 --> 00:22:20.062
- Congrats on the book. god bless.
- 00:22:20.062 --> 00:22:22.365
- Coming up, my final thoughts on winning this
- 00:22:23.266 --> 00:22:25.601
- Spiritual battle that doctor yousef was just talking about.
- 00:22:25.601 --> 00:22:29.172
- That's next.
- 00:22:29.172 --> 00:22:30.106
- Don't move.
- 00:22:30.106 --> 00:22:36.001
- Don't move.
- 00:22:36.001 --> 00:22:38.949
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
- 00:22:39.817 --> 00:22:41.351
- As we wrap up here,
- 00:22:41.351 --> 00:22:42.586
- We are very clearly locked in a spiritual battle writ large.
- 00:22:42.586 --> 00:22:46.156
- I'm talking not just in america, but around the world.
- 00:22:46.156 --> 00:22:49.193
- We're covering these events, these developments for you
- 00:22:49.193 --> 00:22:51.395
- Every night here on stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:22:51.395 --> 00:22:52.963
- So you got to lean on scripture.
- 00:22:52.963 --> 00:22:56.033
- In moments like these, i think of second
- 00:22:56.033 --> 00:22:58.135
- Corinthians chapter ten, verse four.
- 00:22:58.135 --> 00:22:59.870
- The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.
- 00:22:59.870 --> 00:23:03.574
- On the contrary,
- 00:23:03.574 --> 00:23:04.942
- They have divine power to demolish strongholds.
- 00:23:04.942 --> 00:23:08.779
- Lean on the lord.
- 00:23:08.779 --> 00:23:09.980
- Now more than ever, we are filled with the holy spirit.
- 00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:13.116
- And that's powerful folks.
- 00:23:13.116 --> 00:23:14.585
- Hey, speaking of powerful, tomorrow will be on location
- 00:23:14.585 --> 00:23:17.955
- In the holy land during this christmas season.
- 00:23:17.955 --> 00:23:20.390
- You won't want to miss it until then.
- 00:23:20.390 --> 00:23:22.259
- God bless you. we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:22.259
