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: Inside China's Latest Moves | Stakelbeck Tonight | July 18, 2025
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:03.393 --> 00:00:04.861
- I'm erick stakelbeck and all quiet on the southern front.
- 00:00:04.861 --> 00:00:09.899
- Finally, after four years of a complete madness
- 00:00:09.899 --> 00:00:13.203
- At the us-mexico border under joe biden, that same border
- 00:00:13.203 --> 00:00:17.040
- Is now more secure than at any time in american history.
- 00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:21.811
- The month of june
- 00:00:21.811 --> 00:00:22.912
- Saw the lowest
- 00:00:22.912 --> 00:00:23.980
- Amount of encounters ever at our southern border.
- 00:00:23.980 --> 00:00:26.816
- A little over 6000 people attempted
- 00:00:26.816 --> 00:00:29.252
- To cross into our country illegally
- 00:00:29.252 --> 00:00:31.754
- During the entire month.
- 00:00:31.754 --> 00:00:33.556
- And every last one of them was detained.
- 00:00:33.556 --> 00:00:36.826
- And unlike under biden,
- 00:00:36.826 --> 00:00:38.461
- They were not released
- 00:00:38.461 --> 00:00:39.496
- Into the united states
- 00:00:39.496 --> 00:00:40.597
- And then freed to just roam around as they pleased.
- 00:00:40.597 --> 00:00:43.766
- Oh, no.
- 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:45.001
- They're getting sent back
- 00:00:45.001 --> 00:00:46.102
- To the countries from which they came.
- 00:00:46.102 --> 00:00:48.338
- Folks, we are witnessing
- 00:00:48.338 --> 00:00:50.006
- One of the most stunning turnarounds in u.s.
- 00:00:50.006 --> 00:00:52.642
- History. think about this.
- 00:00:52.642 --> 00:00:54.577
- We had hundreds of thousands of people from over 100 countries
- 00:00:54.577 --> 00:00:59.282
- Flooding into our country illegally each and every month.
- 00:00:59.282 --> 00:01:03.419
- All told, at least 15 million
- 00:01:03.419 --> 00:01:06.222
- People entered the united states illegally under biden.
- 00:01:06.222 --> 00:01:10.126
- And we still don't know who many of them were
- 00:01:10.126 --> 00:01:12.862
- Or where they are.
- 00:01:12.862 --> 00:01:14.397
- But here's the good news.
- 00:01:14.397 --> 00:01:15.932
- Those days are now over.
- 00:01:15.932 --> 00:01:18.568
- Gee, i wonder why.
- 00:01:18.568 --> 00:01:20.637
- Maybe strong, decisive leadership
- 00:01:20.637 --> 00:01:23.540
- That puts american security and the american people first
- 00:01:23.540 --> 00:01:27.277
- Really does work.
- 00:01:27.277 --> 00:01:29.846
- For four long years, joe biden surrendered
- 00:01:30.713 --> 00:01:33.683
- Our borders to the most evil and vicious traffickers
- 00:01:33.683 --> 00:01:37.287
- Networks and everything else on the planet earth,
- 00:01:37.287 --> 00:01:41.257
- Allowing foreign drug cartels to carve out a massive footprint
- 00:01:41.257 --> 00:01:45.295
- On american soil.
- 00:01:45.728 --> 00:01:46.896
- We were doing nothing.
- 00:01:46.896 --> 00:01:49.399
- This open borders nightmare
- 00:01:49.399 --> 00:01:51.301
- Flooded our country with fentanyl
- 00:01:51.301 --> 00:01:53.570
- And with the people that shouldn't be here.
- 00:01:53.570 --> 00:01:56.306
- Some of the worst people on earth
- 00:01:56.306 --> 00:01:58.675
- And illicit drugs decimated american communities
- 00:01:58.675 --> 00:02:01.778
- And left us with the largest law enforcement
- 00:02:01.778 --> 00:02:04.314
- Challenge in our country's history,
- 00:02:04.314 --> 00:02:06.049
- And hopefully will always be the largest.
- 00:02:06.049 --> 00:02:08.184
- I can't imagine anything being worse.
- 00:02:08.184 --> 00:02:10.753
- They allowed
- 00:02:10.753 --> 00:02:11.921
- Millions and millions of criminals into our country.
- 00:02:11.921 --> 00:02:15.091
- 11,888 murders, 50%
- 00:02:15.091 --> 00:02:19.462
- Of whom murdered more than one person.
- 00:02:19.462 --> 00:02:22.732
- When day one of the trump administration
- 00:02:23.566 --> 00:02:25.668
- We declared an all out
- 00:02:25.668 --> 00:02:26.903
- War on the dealers, smugglers, traffickers and cartels.
- 00:02:26.903 --> 00:02:30.640
- Within moments of taking office, i deployed the u.s.
- 00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:33.543
- Military to our border and unleashed the patriots
- 00:02:33.543 --> 00:02:37.046
- Of ice and border patrol to defend our country from
- 00:02:37.046 --> 00:02:40.383
- An invasion.
- 00:02:40.717 --> 00:02:42.385
- It really was a literal invasion.
- 00:02:43.119 --> 00:02:45.922
- Under president trump, thankfully, our brave ice agents
- 00:02:45.922 --> 00:02:49.225
- Are getting the worst
- 00:02:49.225 --> 00:02:50.393
- Of the worst off the streets and making america safe again.
- 00:02:50.393 --> 00:02:54.931
- But don't tell that to democrats.
- 00:02:54.931 --> 00:02:57.066
- Even as ice agents are physically attacked
- 00:02:57.066 --> 00:02:59.869
- In our streets for doing their jobs.
- 00:02:59.869 --> 00:03:02.238
- We have senate democrats
- 00:03:02.238 --> 00:03:03.539
- Banding together to write a letter to ice
- 00:03:03.539 --> 00:03:05.775
- Accusing the agency of sowing fear and chaos.
- 00:03:05.775 --> 00:03:09.646
- But here's the truth about what ice is really up to.
- 00:03:09.646 --> 00:03:13.383
- From white house spokesperson caroline leavitt.
- 00:03:13.383 --> 00:03:16.552
- This past weekend, our brave ice agents were arresting
- 00:03:17.654 --> 00:03:20.590
- Violent, criminal illegal aliens all across the country.
- 00:03:20.590 --> 00:03:24.060
- I said lanta arrested an illegal alien from mexico
- 00:03:24.060 --> 00:03:27.630
- Convicted of attempted rape of a child in north carolina.
- 00:03:27.630 --> 00:03:31.501
- Ice baltimore arrested an illegal alien from guatemala
- 00:03:31.501 --> 00:03:34.837
- Who was previously convicted for sexual abuse of a minor
- 00:03:34.837 --> 00:03:38.308
- In maryland.
- 00:03:38.308 --> 00:03:39.509
- Ice houston arrested a criminal illegal alien from mexico
- 00:03:39.509 --> 00:03:43.446
- Whose previous conviction
- 00:03:43.446 --> 00:03:44.781
- Includes aggravated sexual assault of a child in texas.
- 00:03:44.781 --> 00:03:50.353
- Sadly, there are
- 00:03:50.753 --> 00:03:51.788
- Many more like that, but you get the picture again.
- 00:03:51.788 --> 00:03:55.024
- Ice agents who are putting their necks on the line every day
- 00:03:55.024 --> 00:03:58.661
- Should be applauded, not condemned.
- 00:03:58.661 --> 00:04:01.164
- And president trump is using them to clean up
- 00:04:01.164 --> 00:04:03.366
- A very big and very dangerous mess left behind by joe biden.
- 00:04:03.366 --> 00:04:08.738
- Consider this under the biden administration,
- 00:04:08.738 --> 00:04:11.708
- 729 iranians who were arrested at our southern border
- 00:04:11.708 --> 00:04:16.846
- Were released into the united states.
- 00:04:16.846 --> 00:04:19.749
- And who knows where they are now?
- 00:04:19.749 --> 00:04:22.051
- With iran
- 00:04:22.051 --> 00:04:23.319
- Threatening the united states on a practically daily basis.
- 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.888
- I'm glad that we have ice on the case
- 00:04:25.888 --> 00:04:28.624
- And attempting to track these iranians down.
- 00:04:28.624 --> 00:04:31.627
- Speaking of national security threats, fox news
- 00:04:31.627 --> 00:04:34.831
- Reported earlier this week that ice just deported 122
- 00:04:34.831 --> 00:04:39.602
- Illegal immigrants to china, many of whom were convicted
- 00:04:39.602 --> 00:04:43.473
- Of murder, drug trafficking, rape and human smuggling.
- 00:04:43.473 --> 00:04:47.610
- So what exactly is communist china up to right here
- 00:04:47.610 --> 00:04:51.180
- In the united states?
- 00:04:51.180 --> 00:04:52.815
- We're joined
- 00:04:52.815 --> 00:04:54.016
- By one of the world's top china experts to break it down.
- 00:04:54.016 --> 00:04:56.552
- And it all starts now.
- 00:04:56.552 --> 00:05:15.838
- As china
- 00:05:16.105 --> 00:05:17.206
- Tightens its grip on the indo-pacific and south korea
- 00:05:17.206 --> 00:05:20.076
- Stands caught between alliance and intimidation.
- 00:05:20.076 --> 00:05:23.279
- East asia teeters on the brink of a dangerous shift.
- 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.150
- So what the recent moves by china's communist
- 00:05:27.150 --> 00:05:30.887
- Regime mean for you?
- 00:05:30.887 --> 00:05:32.889
- Gordon chang is author of plan red china's project
- 00:05:32.889 --> 00:05:35.858
- To destroy america.
- 00:05:35.858 --> 00:05:37.493
- And he joins us now. gordon, always great to see you.
- 00:05:37.493 --> 00:05:40.129
- Hey, we're getting reports of maybe a purge
- 00:05:40.129 --> 00:05:43.800
- Happening in recent weeks inside of china's military.
- 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.670
- A top military officials being demoted, some even disappearing.
- 00:05:47.670 --> 00:05:52.108
- What exactly is going on there in the country?
- 00:05:52.108 --> 00:05:54.510
- That may be america's number one strategic adversary.
- 00:05:54.510 --> 00:05:58.080
- I think jinping is lost control
- 00:05:58.714 --> 00:06:01.350
- Or losing control of the people's liberation army.
- 00:06:01.350 --> 00:06:04.821
- We have seen over the last several months,
- 00:06:04.821 --> 00:06:07.190
- His supporters and loyalists being purged.
- 00:06:07.190 --> 00:06:10.660
- So, for instance, general conway dong,
- 00:06:10.660 --> 00:06:12.829
- Who is the number two uniformed officer
- 00:06:12.829 --> 00:06:15.765
- And xi jinping's hatchet man in the military.
- 00:06:15.765 --> 00:06:18.534
- He has not been seen in public since march 11th.
- 00:06:18.534 --> 00:06:21.938
- Now there are reports that he was suicided in
- 00:06:21.938 --> 00:06:24.474
- May at the 301 hospital in beijing.
- 00:06:24.474 --> 00:06:26.742
- That's the pla main hospital.
- 00:06:26.742 --> 00:06:29.879
- We don't know if that's true or not.
- 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:31.614
- But the point is that general hood has been sidelined
- 00:06:31.614 --> 00:06:35.651
- And he's not being able to help see, in the military.
- 00:06:35.651 --> 00:06:39.422
- Also, a number of other si loyalists have disappeared.
- 00:06:39.422 --> 00:06:43.226
- And clearly, what's going on is not see jinping firing them,
- 00:06:43.226 --> 00:06:47.196
- As many people say.
- 00:06:47.196 --> 00:06:48.831
- But i believe that siege and things
- 00:06:48.831 --> 00:06:50.333
- Adversaries who are getting rid of them.
- 00:06:50.333 --> 00:06:52.602
- And the reason that we can see that is because pla daily,
- 00:06:52.602 --> 00:06:56.305
- Which is the main propaganda organ of the chinese military,
- 00:06:56.305 --> 00:06:59.609
- Has been running articles praising collective leadership,
- 00:06:59.609 --> 00:07:02.945
- Which is a direct slap on si jinping,
- 00:07:02.945 --> 00:07:05.448
- Which means those articles could not be appearing
- 00:07:05.448 --> 00:07:08.251
- If he were in control of the military,
- 00:07:08.251 --> 00:07:10.586
- Which means that his loyalists being sacked,
- 00:07:10.586 --> 00:07:13.322
- They must be being sacked by his adversaries.
- 00:07:13.322 --> 00:07:16.125
- Well, this has massive global implications, gordon,
- 00:07:16.125 --> 00:07:18.995
- Including right here in the united states.
- 00:07:18.995 --> 00:07:20.396
- So xi jinping may not be long for the premiership,
- 00:07:20.396 --> 00:07:24.066
- Is what you're saying.
- 00:07:24.066 --> 00:07:25.167
- He may be on the road to getting pushed out the door
- 00:07:25.167 --> 00:07:27.637
- If that happens.
- 00:07:27.637 --> 00:07:28.571
- Number one, why the discontent with xi,
- 00:07:28.571 --> 00:07:30.973
- Among other communist party officials?
- 00:07:30.973 --> 00:07:33.543
- And number two, if he is shown the door, what comes next?
- 00:07:33.543 --> 00:07:37.713
- I think the reason for his problems in the military is
- 00:07:38.748 --> 00:07:41.551
- Because he's just purged too many people,
- 00:07:41.551 --> 00:07:43.519
- And that created too much resentment.
- 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:45.454
- And so it was building up for quite some time.
- 00:07:45.454 --> 00:07:48.591
- But, you know, among civilian officials,
- 00:07:49.458 --> 00:07:52.094
- There's also evidence that psy is being sidelined.
- 00:07:52.094 --> 00:07:55.932
- Though the evidence and the corroboration
- 00:07:55.932 --> 00:07:57.667
- Is not as clear as it is in the military.
- 00:07:57.667 --> 00:08:00.670
- But the one thing about the civilian sector
- 00:08:00.670 --> 00:08:03.205
- Is that we know why he's in trouble there.
- 00:08:03.205 --> 00:08:06.242
- And that is because by taking an unprecedented third term,
- 00:08:06.242 --> 00:08:10.046
- He was
- 00:08:10.246 --> 00:08:11.414
- Denying a whole generation of chinese leaders promotions,
- 00:08:11.414 --> 00:08:14.483
- Which is a real indication
- 00:08:14.483 --> 00:08:15.818
- That his grab for permanent power is being resisted.
- 00:08:15.818 --> 00:08:20.189
- What comes after? we just don't know.
- 00:08:20.189 --> 00:08:22.892
- And this is one of the most fascinating and important,
- 00:08:22.892 --> 00:08:26.362
- Questions anyone could ask.
- 00:08:26.362 --> 00:08:28.230
- But unfortunately, right now,
- 00:08:28.230 --> 00:08:30.800
- It is very difficult to see what's occurred.
- 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.736
- Yeah. do you see the radical?
- 00:08:33.736 --> 00:08:35.538
- Not that xi jinping is some kind of moderate.
- 00:08:35.538 --> 00:08:37.506
- It is a communist regime,
- 00:08:37.506 --> 00:08:39.075
- But the most hardline radical elements.
- 00:08:39.075 --> 00:08:42.578
- Do you see them
- 00:08:42.578 --> 00:08:43.646
- Perhaps pushing for a stronger line with donald trump
- 00:08:43.646 --> 00:08:46.616
- Back in office?
- 00:08:46.616 --> 00:08:47.783
- Look, he himself has taken a strong line against china.
- 00:08:47.783 --> 00:08:50.386
- Are there elements, gordon, in the leadership
- 00:08:50.386 --> 00:08:52.488
- In beijing that say, look, we need to be strong
- 00:08:52.488 --> 00:08:55.491
- In the face of the united states and be more hardline?
- 00:08:55.491 --> 00:08:58.527
- I think that will be the effect, eric.
- 00:08:59.328 --> 00:09:01.364
- And the reason is that c jinping has configured
- 00:09:01.364 --> 00:09:03.899
- The chinese political system
- 00:09:03.899 --> 00:09:05.368
- So that only the most
- 00:09:05.368 --> 00:09:06.535
- Hostile answers are considered acceptable, and that means
- 00:09:06.535 --> 00:09:10.539
- It's going to be very difficult for the regime to compromise.
- 00:09:10.539 --> 00:09:14.143
- The other thing, of course, is when the situation is fluid,
- 00:09:14.143 --> 00:09:18.147
- Compromise is becomes a dangerous position.
- 00:09:18.147 --> 00:09:21.317
- Now, one other counterbalancing factor is that,
- 00:09:21.317 --> 00:09:25.354
- Xi jinping has gotten himself into trouble
- 00:09:25.354 --> 00:09:27.857
- By taking these hard line positions.
- 00:09:27.857 --> 00:09:30.292
- And so one could argue that maybe the moderates
- 00:09:30.292 --> 00:09:33.396
- Take over for at least a moment in time.
- 00:09:33.396 --> 00:09:36.465
- I just don't know.
- 00:09:36.465 --> 00:09:37.967
- The regime, of course, is so,
- 00:09:37.967 --> 00:09:41.671
- Opaque right now that it's very hard
- 00:09:41.671 --> 00:09:43.839
- To figure out how this is going to go.
- 00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:46.375
- Gordon, you said it is a fluid situation
- 00:09:46.375 --> 00:09:49.111
- About 30s left before the break.
- 00:09:49.111 --> 00:09:50.880
- Then we will bring you right back.
- 00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:52.581
- China's relationship right now with russia
- 00:09:52.581 --> 00:09:55.451
- Growing still strong, something we need to be alarmed about.
- 00:09:55.451 --> 00:09:59.221
- Growing stronger as wang yi, the foreign minister,
- 00:09:59.221 --> 00:10:02.191
- Told the eu foreign policy chief on july 2nd.
- 00:10:02.191 --> 00:10:05.428
- When he told her that,
- 00:10:05.895 --> 00:10:07.697
- China cannot afford to see russia lose in ukraine.
- 00:10:07.697 --> 00:10:10.966
- So china's doubling down on vladimir putin.
- 00:10:10.966 --> 00:10:14.470
- Well, gordon, great breakdown and more to come, folks,
- 00:10:14.470 --> 00:10:17.506
- After the break with one of the world's top,
- 00:10:17.506 --> 00:10:19.442
- Top experts on all things china and asia, gordon chang.
- 00:10:19.442 --> 00:10:23.345
- After the break,
- 00:10:23.345 --> 00:10:24.714
- A chinese presence, a communist chinese presence
- 00:10:24.714 --> 00:10:28.050
- At the pentagon.
- 00:10:28.050 --> 00:10:29.518
- More with gordon chang after the break.
- 00:10:29.518 --> 00:10:31.620
- Don't move.
- 00:10:31.620 --> 00:10:36.002
- Don't move.
- 00:10:36.002 --> 00:10:38.729
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:10:39.496 --> 00:10:40.864
- We're talking about good friend gordon chang, bestselling
- 00:10:40.864 --> 00:10:42.966
- Author of plan red china's project to destroy america.
- 00:10:42.966 --> 00:10:46.970
- Folks, you can pick it up at amazon.com.
- 00:10:46.970 --> 00:10:48.572
- Wherever books are sold, it is an eye opener also.
- 00:10:48.572 --> 00:10:51.475
- You can follow gordon on x and across social media.
- 00:10:51.475 --> 00:10:54.077
- Gordon.
- 00:10:54.077 --> 00:10:54.945
- He's got a scandal brewing right now
- 00:10:54.945 --> 00:10:56.146
- That you've been following very closely at the pentagon.
- 00:10:56.146 --> 00:10:59.049
- Look, microsoft using chinese engineers
- 00:10:59.049 --> 00:11:03.286
- To work on pentagon systems.
- 00:11:03.286 --> 00:11:06.323
- Tell us more about this and why it's such a problem.
- 00:11:06.323 --> 00:11:09.626
- You know,
- 00:11:09.926 --> 00:11:10.994
- Propublica, earlier this week, broke the story.
- 00:11:10.994 --> 00:11:14.131
- What happened is that at the end of the obama administration,
- 00:11:14.131 --> 00:11:17.134
- But continuing to today, microsoft has been maintaining,
- 00:11:17.134 --> 00:11:21.404
- Pentagon systems,
- 00:11:21.404 --> 00:11:22.973
- And they've been doing it with engineers in china.
- 00:11:22.973 --> 00:11:26.409
- Now, these, engineers, they're supervised by,
- 00:11:26.409 --> 00:11:29.913
- What are called digital escorts that microsoft has employed,
- 00:11:29.913 --> 00:11:33.984
- In the states.
- 00:11:34.317 --> 00:11:35.318
- But these digital escorts are just not able
- 00:11:35.318 --> 00:11:38.955
- To keep up with the work that the chinese do.
- 00:11:38.955 --> 00:11:42.025
- And in many cases, they're not technically qualified.
- 00:11:42.025 --> 00:11:45.061
- So essentially, the chinese ministry of state security
- 00:11:45.061 --> 00:11:48.365
- Or the people's liberation army have been able to manipulate,
- 00:11:48.365 --> 00:11:52.269
- Pentagon software.
- 00:11:52.702 --> 00:11:54.938
- This was, and the thing about this
- 00:11:54.938 --> 00:11:57.741
- Is that microsoft had been warned
- 00:11:57.741 --> 00:11:59.910
- Several times by its own employees
- 00:11:59.910 --> 00:12:02.279
- And by its consultants, as propublica reports.
- 00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.515
- And microsoft recklessly disregarded these warnings.
- 00:12:05.515 --> 00:12:09.519
- Now, on the other side of the story,
- 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:10.887
- You have a pentagon which was oblivious.
- 00:12:10.887 --> 00:12:13.456
- So there's gross negligence
- 00:12:13.456 --> 00:12:15.292
- On the part of the defense department.
- 00:12:15.292 --> 00:12:17.327
- But put together, it means that
- 00:12:17.327 --> 00:12:19.262
- China has been able to, maintain these systems
- 00:12:19.262 --> 00:12:23.433
- And with almost no oversight from microsoft.
- 00:12:23.433 --> 00:12:27.237
- So this is indefensible.
- 00:12:27.237 --> 00:12:29.406
- And i hope that, secretary hegseth
- 00:12:29.406 --> 00:12:32.742
- Not only poses the biggest find in american history
- 00:12:32.742 --> 00:12:36.012
- On microsoft, but also fires employees inside the pentagon
- 00:12:36.012 --> 00:12:41.017
- For their failure to administer this program properly.
- 00:12:41.017 --> 00:12:44.821
- Gordon, this is insane.
- 00:12:45.322 --> 00:12:46.790
- It's literally the enemy within at the pentagon of all places.
- 00:12:46.790 --> 00:12:50.026
- But you've been following this also, gordon.
- 00:12:50.026 --> 00:12:52.562
- You've been covering the land grabs by chinese,
- 00:12:52.562 --> 00:12:56.433
- The chinese communist party and elements connected to it
- 00:12:56.433 --> 00:13:00.670
- Right here in the united states, in the heartland, farmland
- 00:13:00.670 --> 00:13:03.540
- Being bought up by communist china.
- 00:13:03.540 --> 00:13:06.009
- What's the latest on that?
- 00:13:06.009 --> 00:13:07.143
- People are now, i think, just becoming aware of that.
- 00:13:07.143 --> 00:13:09.546
- You've been talking about it for a while.
- 00:13:09.546 --> 00:13:11.014
- What's the latest on that?
- 00:13:11.014 --> 00:13:13.416
- Well, the
- 00:13:13.717 --> 00:13:14.985
- Latest is what happened in june, where three chinese nationals
- 00:13:14.985 --> 00:13:18.555
- Were charged with trying to smuggle
- 00:13:18.555 --> 00:13:20.123
- Biological agents into the united states.
- 00:13:20.123 --> 00:13:23.159
- The first two cases
- 00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:24.394
- Were a fungus that would hit american crops and livestock,
- 00:13:24.394 --> 00:13:27.964
- Also damaging to humans.
- 00:13:27.964 --> 00:13:30.000
- And i think what's happening here, eric, is that china
- 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.103
- Was planning to plant invasive species, in our on our land.
- 00:13:33.103 --> 00:13:38.475
- This is something that's been going on
- 00:13:38.475 --> 00:13:39.943
- For at least a half decade.
- 00:13:39.943 --> 00:13:41.811
- In 2020, americans in all 50 states
- 00:13:41.811 --> 00:13:45.382
- Received seeds from china unsolicited.
- 00:13:45.382 --> 00:13:48.385
- This program on the part of china
- 00:13:49.119 --> 00:13:51.121
- Continued through this year where the online retailer
- 00:13:51.121 --> 00:13:55.392
- Was caught smuggling seeds and an unidentified liquid.
- 00:13:55.392 --> 00:13:59.229
- Two parties in the united states, again unsolicited.
- 00:13:59.229 --> 00:14:02.666
- So you have what looks like an coordinated attack
- 00:14:02.666 --> 00:14:06.636
- On american agriculture and american livestock.
- 00:14:06.636 --> 00:14:10.373
- Let's shift gears a bit south korea.
- 00:14:10.373 --> 00:14:13.109
- You've covered this a bunch as well, gordon.
- 00:14:13.109 --> 00:14:14.878
- Look, some serious internal problems in south korea
- 00:14:14.878 --> 00:14:18.782
- Over the past year or so, but a strategic and crucial u.s.
- 00:14:18.782 --> 00:14:22.819
- Ally.
- 00:14:22.819 --> 00:14:23.620
- What's the latest in south korea,
- 00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:25.388
- And how are they threatened by china in their backyard?
- 00:14:25.388 --> 00:14:29.960
- Well, june
- 00:14:30.260 --> 00:14:31.227
- 3rd, there was a snap presidential election.
- 00:14:31.227 --> 00:14:33.930
- The leftist engagement won.
- 00:14:33.930 --> 00:14:37.400
- There's evidence of election fraud.
- 00:14:37.400 --> 00:14:40.570
- But you taking office is now bringing in a lot of hard
- 00:14:40.570 --> 00:14:44.240
- Core anti-american personnel and officers, and we're seeing
- 00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:48.812
- Very pro north korea orientation of the new administration.
- 00:14:48.812 --> 00:14:54.417
- Half of south korea's public is very much against this.
- 00:14:54.417 --> 00:14:57.721
- They're rallying on the streets.
- 00:14:57.721 --> 00:15:00.056
- So this is not over yet.
- 00:15:00.056 --> 00:15:02.092
- But if president yee gets his way,
- 00:15:02.092 --> 00:15:04.761
- He will terminate the alliance with the united states,
- 00:15:04.761 --> 00:15:07.764
- Kick our troops off the south korean soil,
- 00:15:07.764 --> 00:15:11.067
- And move firmly into china's and north korea's camps.
- 00:15:11.067 --> 00:15:14.771
- I hope that, the democratic institutions
- 00:15:14.771 --> 00:15:18.008
- Prevent him from doing that.
- 00:15:18.008 --> 00:15:19.642
- And we have survived leftist presidents
- 00:15:19.642 --> 00:15:21.478
- In south korea before.
- 00:15:21.478 --> 00:15:22.912
- But ye is much more determined and much more ruthless
- 00:15:22.912 --> 00:15:26.182
- Than previous left of leftist presidents.
- 00:15:26.182 --> 00:15:28.718
- Do you have greater confidence
- 00:15:28.718 --> 00:15:30.053
- Now we have the trump administration in control.
- 00:15:30.053 --> 00:15:32.555
- Do you have greater confidence
- 00:15:32.555 --> 00:15:34.024
- That there will be a stronger american posture towards china,
- 00:15:34.024 --> 00:15:38.628
- Towards radical leftism in south korea,
- 00:15:38.628 --> 00:15:40.663
- And all the rest in that very, very crucial region?
- 00:15:40.663 --> 00:15:44.334
- I have confidence, but also we've got to remember that
- 00:15:45.368 --> 00:15:48.505
- The trump administration is being overwhelmed by problems
- 00:15:48.505 --> 00:15:51.508
- Not just by china, but by china's friends.
- 00:15:51.508 --> 00:15:54.177
- So, for instance, russia and iran.
- 00:15:54.177 --> 00:15:56.646
- So we are under assault.
- 00:15:56.646 --> 00:15:58.581
- And i'm glad that president trump was elected.
- 00:15:58.581 --> 00:16:01.518
- And we all wish him well,
- 00:16:01.518 --> 00:16:02.786
- Because whether, you know, americans voted for him or not.
- 00:16:02.786 --> 00:16:06.189
- We've only got one commander in chief,
- 00:16:07.023 --> 00:16:08.925
- And we are at a critical moment in time.
- 00:16:08.925 --> 00:16:11.694
- Yeah. well, said gordon, these are the times.
- 00:16:11.694 --> 00:16:13.963
- Great breakdown, my friend.
- 00:16:13.963 --> 00:16:14.964
- As always, folks, a book is called plan read
- 00:16:14.964 --> 00:16:17.500
- China's project to destroy america.
- 00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:20.036
- It is a must read. gordon chang, always great to see you.
- 00:16:20.036 --> 00:16:22.572
- Keep up the great work, gordon. we'll see you again soon.
- 00:16:22.572 --> 00:16:24.774
- God bless.
- 00:16:24.774 --> 00:16:25.608
- And coming up, ryan morrow is here.
- 00:16:25.608 --> 00:16:27.911
- We're talked about the enemy within, a great breakdown
- 00:16:27.911 --> 00:16:30.680
- About what's happening on american college
- 00:16:30.680 --> 00:16:32.515
- Campuses and beyond, and what you need to know.
- 00:16:32.515 --> 00:16:35.385
- That's next. stick around.
- 00:16:35.385 --> 00:16:40.007
- That's next. stick around.
- 00:16:40.007 --> 00:16:43.227
- Welcome back to stock back.
- 00:16:43.828 --> 00:16:45.229
- Tonight.
- 00:16:45.229 --> 00:16:45.729
- The masks are off,
- 00:16:45.729 --> 00:16:47.398
- And the so-called pro-palestinian protest movement
- 00:16:47.398 --> 00:16:50.734
- In america is revealing its true face
- 00:16:50.734 --> 00:16:53.737
- Radical, revolutionary and pro terrorism.
- 00:16:53.737 --> 00:16:57.141
- Joining us with explosive new findings is ryan morrow,
- 00:16:57.141 --> 00:17:00.311
- Investigative researcher at the capital research center.
- 00:17:00.311 --> 00:17:03.180
- He's been tracking how these extremist networks
- 00:17:03.180 --> 00:17:05.749
- Are using charitable status in college campuses to spread
- 00:17:05.749 --> 00:17:09.820
- Anti-american, anti-israel venom and even to incite violence.
- 00:17:09.820 --> 00:17:15.025
- Ryan, always great to see you.
- 00:17:15.025 --> 00:17:16.494
- The study is called when charities betray america.
- 00:17:16.494 --> 00:17:20.297
- It is an eye opener because, look,
- 00:17:20.297 --> 00:17:22.066
- These pro-palestinian groups claim
- 00:17:22.066 --> 00:17:24.135
- To be all about social justice, peace and harmony.
- 00:17:24.135 --> 00:17:27.571
- And yet, ryan, in your study, you found that
- 00:17:27.571 --> 00:17:29.874
- There's been a 3,000% increase in calls
- 00:17:29.874 --> 00:17:33.677
- For violence from these groups since the october 7th massacre.
- 00:17:33.677 --> 00:17:37.515
- Tell us more about what you found.
- 00:17:37.515 --> 00:17:39.617
- Sure.
- 00:17:39.850 --> 00:17:40.851
- So there were a couple of studies that we did,
- 00:17:40.851 --> 00:17:43.420
- And basically it was because i found that
- 00:17:43.420 --> 00:17:45.556
- The debate was getting stuck where folks like ourselves
- 00:17:45.556 --> 00:17:48.626
- To point to some of these really bad
- 00:17:48.626 --> 00:17:50.294
- Groups muslim brotherhood, connected, antifa, anarchists,
- 00:17:50.294 --> 00:17:54.431
- Communists that were promoting these
- 00:17:54.431 --> 00:17:57.034
- Anti-israeli, anti-american, anti-semitic protests.
- 00:17:57.034 --> 00:18:00.671
- And the defenders on the other side, the apologists would say,
- 00:18:00.671 --> 00:18:04.708
- Oh, well, you're just cherry picking.
- 00:18:04.708 --> 00:18:06.610
- And so i embarked on a couple of studies,
- 00:18:06.610 --> 00:18:10.581
- Beginning with, one called marching towards violence,
- 00:18:10.581 --> 00:18:14.318
- Where i basically researched every single
- 00:18:14.318 --> 00:18:17.621
- Anti-israel protest group that i could find.
- 00:18:17.621 --> 00:18:21.425
- And what i found was, is that there were 150 groups
- 00:18:21.425 --> 00:18:25.796
- Organizing these protests,
- 00:18:25.796 --> 00:18:27.831
- Oftentimes with overlapping leadership
- 00:18:27.831 --> 00:18:30.100
- And that were explicitly pro terrorism.
- 00:18:30.100 --> 00:18:33.170
- I mean, like, i couldn't find barely any.
- 00:18:33.170 --> 00:18:36.173
- That said, we just disagree with israel.
- 00:18:36.173 --> 00:18:39.009
- It's about their military campaign.
- 00:18:39.009 --> 00:18:40.678
- We don't want to destroy israel, and we don't support violence
- 00:18:40.678 --> 00:18:43.480
- Like that didn't exist at all.
- 00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:44.915
- Which just blew my mind because i had always assumed,
- 00:18:44.915 --> 00:18:48.485
- That the majority of the groups involved
- 00:18:48.485 --> 00:18:50.721
- Probably were well-meaning,
- 00:18:50.721 --> 00:18:52.356
- And then bad guys would come in and exploit it.
- 00:18:52.356 --> 00:18:54.191
- And no, what i found was,
- 00:18:54.191 --> 00:18:55.392
- Is that those well-meaning groups basically don't exist.
- 00:18:55.392 --> 00:18:59.129
- Yeah.
- 00:18:59.363 --> 00:19:00.231
- And so i profiled the network there.
- 00:19:00.231 --> 00:19:02.533
- And then the second part, when charities betray america,
- 00:19:02.533 --> 00:19:06.770
- What we did was we looked at about 500 of the top so-called
- 00:19:06.770 --> 00:19:10.674
- Pro-palestinian activists and groups,
- 00:19:10.674 --> 00:19:12.910
- And we looked at their rhetoric
- 00:19:12.910 --> 00:19:14.011
- For about 15 months before the october 7th attacks,
- 00:19:14.011 --> 00:19:17.114
- And then for about 15 months following.
- 00:19:17.114 --> 00:19:20.651
- And we want to see what changed.
- 00:19:20.651 --> 00:19:23.020
- And what we found was, yes, there were anti-american
- 00:19:23.020 --> 00:19:24.922
- Before the october 7th attacks,
- 00:19:24.922 --> 00:19:26.590
- But after the october 7th attacks, they were emboldened
- 00:19:26.590 --> 00:19:29.793
- To show their true face to the point where they were
- 00:19:29.793 --> 00:19:32.630
- So anti-american and anti-police, especially
- 00:19:32.630 --> 00:19:36.333
- That they were more about that than they were
- 00:19:36.333 --> 00:19:38.535
- Pro-palestinian or protesting israeli policy.
- 00:19:38.535 --> 00:19:41.338
- I mean, they made it very clear,
- 00:19:41.338 --> 00:19:42.940
- It's not that they hate america because we support israel.
- 00:19:42.940 --> 00:19:48.312
- It's the other way around.
- 00:19:48.879 --> 00:19:51.382
- It's they hate israel because israel is
- 00:19:51.382 --> 00:19:53.684
- Reflective of america to them.
- 00:19:53.684 --> 00:19:55.586
- Hey, you also found that at least 30 of these
- 00:19:55.586 --> 00:19:59.223
- Pro-palestinian activists are actually employed
- 00:19:59.223 --> 00:20:02.993
- By colleges or charities right here in the united states.
- 00:20:02.993 --> 00:20:06.230
- This is stunning.
- 00:20:06.230 --> 00:20:07.097
- Talk about the enemy within.
- 00:20:07.097 --> 00:20:08.198
- Tell us more about that, right?
- 00:20:08.198 --> 00:20:10.301
- I mean, if this was overseas, we would call this really like
- 00:20:10.301 --> 00:20:14.138
- An enemy infrastructure.
- 00:20:14.138 --> 00:20:15.139
- We would call these bases,
- 00:20:15.139 --> 00:20:17.207
- We would call them logistical networks.
- 00:20:17.207 --> 00:20:19.109
- But because it's in the
- 00:20:19.109 --> 00:20:20.311
- United states and it's harbored within the nonprofit world
- 00:20:20.311 --> 00:20:23.247
- And harvard within our education system,
- 00:20:23.247 --> 00:20:25.449
- We don't talk about it that way, but they do.
- 00:20:25.449 --> 00:20:29.453
- When you look at their rhetoric,
- 00:20:29.453 --> 00:20:30.688
- They call themselves insurgents.
- 00:20:30.688 --> 00:20:33.223
- I mean, they're openly revolutionary exhibitionists in,
- 00:20:33.223 --> 00:20:36.860
- Methodology and in goal.
- 00:20:37.394 --> 00:20:39.930
- They often refer to the united states as turtle island,
- 00:20:39.930 --> 00:20:43.334
- Because there's this myth
- 00:20:43.334 --> 00:20:45.002
- That basically the native americans called north america
- 00:20:45.002 --> 00:20:48.972
- Turtle island before the evil white colonizers
- 00:20:48.972 --> 00:20:53.410
- Came and committed genocide, and then america was created.
- 00:20:53.410 --> 00:20:56.046
- And so, just like they imply support for destroying israel
- 00:20:56.046 --> 00:21:00.217
- By saying it's not israel's the zionist state
- 00:21:00.217 --> 00:21:02.152
- Or it's just palestine,
- 00:21:02.152 --> 00:21:03.821
- A lot of these groups are
- 00:21:03.821 --> 00:21:04.855
- Refused to say the united states,
- 00:21:04.855 --> 00:21:06.957
- Or they'll say so-called united states,
- 00:21:06.957 --> 00:21:09.927
- And refer to it instead as turtle island.
- 00:21:09.927 --> 00:21:11.895
- It's the exact same playbook here.
- 00:21:11.895 --> 00:21:15.199
- And one of the other findings we found was a 186%
- 00:21:15.199 --> 00:21:19.903
- Increase in anti-american hatred in terms of their rhetoric
- 00:21:19.903 --> 00:21:24.208
- And anti-police rhetoric.
- 00:21:24.208 --> 00:21:25.843
- And that was an interesting find,
- 00:21:25.843 --> 00:21:27.644
- Because the first study that i did,
- 00:21:27.644 --> 00:21:29.546
- I warned at the end of it, i said,
- 00:21:29.546 --> 00:21:32.015
- What they're saying
- 00:21:32.015 --> 00:21:33.016
- By looking at their memos and communications
- 00:21:33.016 --> 00:21:35.319
- Is that they know this issue of israel,
- 00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:37.388
- Middle east is going to go away.
- 00:21:37.388 --> 00:21:38.555
- They don't want to lose their infrastructure
- 00:21:38.555 --> 00:21:40.190
- Because it's not really about that issue.
- 00:21:40.190 --> 00:21:42.126
- It's about taking down america.
- 00:21:42.126 --> 00:21:43.927
- And so what they were saying in these memos was,
- 00:21:43.927 --> 00:21:46.130
- We need to shift
- 00:21:46.130 --> 00:21:47.231
- The hating the police and hating law enforcement.
- 00:21:47.231 --> 00:21:50.067
- And so they very intelligently, in an evil way,
- 00:21:50.067 --> 00:21:53.937
- So that we need to shift to become an anti-police movement.
- 00:21:53.937 --> 00:21:56.540
- And that's what you're seeing, right now, the stuff
- 00:21:56.540 --> 00:21:59.009
- With the attacks on the police, the attacks on ice.
- 00:21:59.009 --> 00:22:02.045
- We talked about it in the study,
- 00:22:02.679 --> 00:22:04.815
- Because i was just quoting them
- 00:22:04.815 --> 00:22:05.983
- Saying what their next step was.
- 00:22:05.983 --> 00:22:07.451
- Where is the money coming from?
- 00:22:07.451 --> 00:22:09.620
- We'd love to do a segment with you about that, ryan.
- 00:22:09.620 --> 00:22:11.688
- Very soon, my friend. keep up the great work.
- 00:22:11.688 --> 00:22:13.924
- Who's funding all this?
- 00:22:13.924 --> 00:22:15.459
- Keep up the great work, folks.
- 00:22:15.459 --> 00:22:16.527
- Follow ryan on x
- 00:22:16.527 --> 00:22:17.928
- And across social media for more
- 00:22:17.928 --> 00:22:19.530
- Of his great investigative work.
- 00:22:19.530 --> 00:22:21.331
- Ryan. god bless my friend. we'll see you again soon.
- 00:22:21.331 --> 00:22:23.600
- Coming up, my final thoughts as we head into the weekend.
- 00:22:23.600 --> 00:22:27.371
- Some food for thought from the word of god.
- 00:22:27.371 --> 00:22:29.873
- Stick around.
- 00:22:29.873 --> 00:22:34.005
- Stick around.
- 00:22:34.005 --> 00:22:36.153
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks,
- 00:22:37.054 --> 00:22:38.722
- As we wrap up here and head into the weekend.
- 00:22:38.722 --> 00:22:40.691
- Hey, we're talking about some heavy subject matter tonight.
- 00:22:40.691 --> 00:22:43.260
- Look, communist china, what they're up to madness
- 00:22:43.260 --> 00:22:45.696
- At the southern border, which, thankfully
- 00:22:45.696 --> 00:22:47.264
- Is being cleaned up and madness on our college campuses.
- 00:22:47.264 --> 00:22:51.068
- But the great thing about being a follower
- 00:22:51.068 --> 00:22:53.003
- Of jesus is you don't need to be anxious.
- 00:22:53.003 --> 00:22:55.506
- You don't need to fear. you don't need to worry.
- 00:22:55.506 --> 00:22:57.908
- Think of the book of jeremiah, chapter 29, verse 11,
- 00:22:57.908 --> 00:23:00.277
- One of my favorites, one of my life verses.
- 00:23:00.277 --> 00:23:02.513
- For i know the plans i have for you, declares
- 00:23:02.513 --> 00:23:05.349
- The lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans
- 00:23:05.349 --> 00:23:09.019
- To give you hope and a future.
- 00:23:09.019 --> 00:23:11.021
- Take that into the weekend with you and be encouraged.
- 00:23:11.021 --> 00:23:13.757
- On monday we've got andrew flavin
- 00:23:13.757 --> 00:23:15.793
- And also edward brand from samaritan's purse.
- 00:23:15.793 --> 00:23:18.295
- An update on those horrible texas floods.
- 00:23:18.295 --> 00:23:20.331
- Until then, have a great weekend.
- 00:23:20.331 --> 00:23:21.932
- God bless you and we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:21.932 --> 00:23:21.932
