Stakelbeck Tonight | Erick Stakelbeck: Iran's Power Struggle | Stakelbeck Tonight | April 22, 2026
  • Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:00:03.259 --> 00:00:05.061
  • I'm erick stakelbeck
  • 00:00:05.061 --> 00:00:06.196
  • And there appears to be a power struggle taking place
  • 00:00:06.196 --> 00:00:09.966
  • Right now at the highest levels of iran's regime.
  • 00:00:09.966 --> 00:00:13.870
  • The islamic revolutionary guard corps, or irgc,
  • 00:00:13.870 --> 00:00:17.407
  • Is reportedly trying to sideline a faction that includes
  • 00:00:17.407 --> 00:00:21.578
  • Iran's president, foreign minister and parliament speaker.
  • 00:00:21.578 --> 00:00:25.448
  • Now, neither group is even remotely moderate, but
  • 00:00:25.448 --> 00:00:29.352
  • The latter faction has been keeping the line open
  • 00:00:29.352 --> 00:00:32.322
  • With the united states
  • 00:00:32.322 --> 00:00:33.623
  • And would have presumably traveled to pakistan this week
  • 00:00:33.623 --> 00:00:37.026
  • To meet with vice president vance and the u.s.
  • 00:00:37.026 --> 00:00:39.662
  • Delegation.
  • 00:00:39.662 --> 00:00:40.730
  • Except the irgc is apparently calling the shots,
  • 00:00:40.730 --> 00:00:45.201
  • And they said no.
  • 00:00:45.201 --> 00:00:46.803
  • By the way, the irgc has always been calling
  • 00:00:46.803 --> 00:00:49.405
  • The shots behind the scenes, but it's just more obvious now
  • 00:00:49.405 --> 00:00:53.143
  • That ayatollah khamenei
  • 00:00:53.143 --> 00:00:54.711
  • And other top running officials have bit the dust.
  • 00:00:54.711 --> 00:00:57.914
  • The disarray at the top of iran's leadership
  • 00:00:57.914 --> 00:01:00.183
  • Is the main reason that president trump
  • 00:01:00.183 --> 00:01:02.552
  • Has now extended the cease fire with iran.
  • 00:01:02.552 --> 00:01:05.855
  • Folks, think about where we are right now.
  • 00:01:05.855 --> 00:01:08.691
  • The us navy is still enforcing a blockade
  • 00:01:08.691 --> 00:01:11.561
  • In the strait of hormuz that is crushing iran's economy.
  • 00:01:11.561 --> 00:01:14.831
  • They're losing hundreds of millions of dollars every day.
  • 00:01:14.831 --> 00:01:18.234
  • At the same
  • 00:01:18.568 --> 00:01:19.769
  • Time, iranian linked vessels continue to be intercepted.
  • 00:01:19.769 --> 00:01:22.906
  • And while iran is harassing ships in the strait,
  • 00:01:22.906 --> 00:01:25.775
  • President trump is still leaving the door open for diplomacy.
  • 00:01:25.775 --> 00:01:30.413
  • That's not weakness.
  • 00:01:30.413 --> 00:01:31.981
  • Far from it. it's leverage.
  • 00:01:31.981 --> 00:01:34.517
  • This strategy is what got the regime to the table
  • 00:01:34.517 --> 00:01:38.087
  • In the first place, and it continues to bear fruit.
  • 00:01:38.087 --> 00:01:41.991
  • Earlier today, president trump announced
  • 00:01:41.991 --> 00:01:43.660
  • That iran has called off the execution
  • 00:01:43.660 --> 00:01:46.262
  • Of eight women after he lobbied directly on their behalf.
  • 00:01:46.262 --> 00:01:50.133
  • He wrote, quote, very good news.
  • 00:01:50.133 --> 00:01:52.202
  • I have just been informed that the eight women protesters
  • 00:01:52.202 --> 00:01:55.605
  • Who were going to be executed tonight in iran
  • 00:01:55.605 --> 00:01:58.608
  • Will no longer be killed.
  • 00:01:58.608 --> 00:02:00.510
  • Four will be released immediately
  • 00:02:00.510 --> 00:02:02.312
  • And for will be sentenced to one month in prison.
  • 00:02:02.312 --> 00:02:05.648
  • I very much appreciate that iran and its leaders respected
  • 00:02:05.648 --> 00:02:09.152
  • My request
  • 00:02:09.152 --> 00:02:10.353
  • As president of the united states
  • 00:02:10.353 --> 00:02:11.988
  • And terminated the planned execution.
  • 00:02:11.988 --> 00:02:14.290
  • Thank you for your attention to this matter.
  • 00:02:14.290 --> 00:02:17.360
  • Folks with iran's regime remember its don't trust
  • 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.231
  • But verify
  • 00:02:21.231 --> 00:02:22.565
  • The regime is trying to play for time as it always does.
  • 00:02:22.565 --> 00:02:25.735
  • Delay, deny. deflect.
  • 00:02:25.735 --> 00:02:28.605
  • But this time the old
  • 00:02:28.605 --> 00:02:30.106
  • Iranian playbook may not work because the united states
  • 00:02:30.106 --> 00:02:34.110
  • Is not simply issuing statements.
  • 00:02:34.110 --> 00:02:36.779
  • It is now applying pressure where it hurts most
  • 00:02:36.779 --> 00:02:40.350
  • At sea in the global energy market,
  • 00:02:40.350 --> 00:02:43.052
  • And on the iranian regime's economic lifeline.
  • 00:02:43.052 --> 00:02:46.756
  • The blockade remains the sanctions campaign,
  • 00:02:46.756 --> 00:02:49.525
  • What some are now calling economic fury remains,
  • 00:02:49.525 --> 00:02:53.463
  • And the message to tehran is unmistakable.
  • 00:02:53.463 --> 00:02:56.399
  • Bring a serious proposal to the table
  • 00:02:56.399 --> 00:02:59.302
  • Or face the consequences one way or another.
  • 00:02:59.302 --> 00:03:03.573
  • The next chapter is here.
  • 00:03:03.573 --> 00:03:06.209
  • It's a time for prayer.
  • 00:03:06.209 --> 00:03:07.710
  • And up next you'll hear about an incredible
  • 00:03:07.710 --> 00:03:09.612
  • Nationwide prayer movement for the lord.
  • 00:03:09.612 --> 00:03:13.049
  • And it all starts now.
  • 00:03:13.049 --> 00:03:31.234
  • Rising anti-semitism, a growing divide
  • 00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:35.672
  • Between communities that once stood united, and a cultural
  • 00:03:35.672 --> 00:03:39.275
  • Battle over truth, faith and israel.
  • 00:03:39.275 --> 00:03:42.812
  • Folks, these are not just headlines.
  • 00:03:42.812 --> 00:03:44.647
  • They're warning signs.
  • 00:03:44.647 --> 00:03:46.382
  • Joining us now are two powerful voices
  • 00:03:46.382 --> 00:03:48.451
  • Speaking directly into this moment.
  • 00:03:48.451 --> 00:03:51.220
  • Pastor corey brooks,
  • 00:03:51.220 --> 00:03:52.388
  • Founder of project hood, currently walking across america
  • 00:03:52.388 --> 00:03:56.292
  • To bring hope and transformation to communities in need.
  • 00:03:56.292 --> 00:03:59.829
  • He's also senior pastor of new beginnings church in chicago.
  • 00:03:59.829 --> 00:04:03.166
  • And our good friend
  • 00:04:03.166 --> 00:04:04.300
  • Dumisani washington, founder and ceo of the institute
  • 00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:07.203
  • For black solidarity
  • 00:04:07.203 --> 00:04:08.571
  • With israel, a leading voice confronting anti-semitism
  • 00:04:08.571 --> 00:04:12.608
  • And strengthening black jewish unity.
  • 00:04:12.608 --> 00:04:15.812
  • Gentlemen, great to have you with us.
  • 00:04:15.812 --> 00:04:17.613
  • Thank you and pastor corey, great to meet you.
  • 00:04:17.613 --> 00:04:20.016
  • By the way, we caught you in a little break
  • 00:04:20.016 --> 00:04:21.984
  • From your 3000 mile walk across america.
  • 00:04:21.984 --> 00:04:25.288
  • Yeah, we're going to talk about that,
  • 00:04:25.288 --> 00:04:26.522
  • Pastor corey, why you're doing it.
  • 00:04:26.522 --> 00:04:28.057
  • But first, i mentioned anti-semitism.
  • 00:04:28.057 --> 00:04:29.826
  • You're both experts in that field.
  • 00:04:29.826 --> 00:04:32.195
  • And you've experienced you've seen this on your walk
  • 00:04:32.195 --> 00:04:34.797
  • Across america. pastor corey, up close.
  • 00:04:34.797 --> 00:04:36.899
  • Tell us a bit more about that. why it disturbed you so much.
  • 00:04:36.899 --> 00:04:39.402
  • Well, you know, there's a plethora of,
  • 00:04:39.402 --> 00:04:41.771
  • Progressive organizations across america
  • 00:04:41.771 --> 00:04:44.273
  • That are fighting every day against israel.
  • 00:04:44.273 --> 00:04:47.276
  • And, there's a certain amount of,
  • 00:04:47.276 --> 00:04:50.313
  • Theological views
  • 00:04:50.313 --> 00:04:52.582
  • That are being spewed out across america as well.
  • 00:04:52.582 --> 00:04:56.619
  • And all of these
  • 00:04:56.619 --> 00:04:57.820
  • Things are driving people, especially in our neighborhood,
  • 00:04:57.820 --> 00:05:00.456
  • Driving them farther and farther away from israel
  • 00:05:00.456 --> 00:05:03.326
  • And moving them closer to palestine
  • 00:05:03.326 --> 00:05:05.828
  • And free palestine movement.
  • 00:05:05.828 --> 00:05:07.530
  • And so i think it's a growing thing.
  • 00:05:07.530 --> 00:05:09.832
  • It's something that we really need to be concerned about,
  • 00:05:09.832 --> 00:05:12.468
  • Especially those of us who are pro-israel
  • 00:05:12.468 --> 00:05:14.604
  • And those of us who love israel
  • 00:05:14.604 --> 00:05:16.005
  • And want to see israel be blessed.
  • 00:05:16.005 --> 00:05:18.074
  • It's something that we need to pay closer attention to.
  • 00:05:18.074 --> 00:05:20.309
  • Yeah.
  • 00:05:20.309 --> 00:05:21.310
  • And you've been having these discussions again,
  • 00:05:21.310 --> 00:05:22.178
  • Walking from new york city to la.
  • 00:05:22.178 --> 00:05:23.946
  • We'll talk more about it's amazing what you're doing,
  • 00:05:23.946 --> 00:05:25.615
  • Pastor corey, but pastor doing sinai,
  • 00:05:25.615 --> 00:05:27.517
  • You've been the tip of the spear on this for years.
  • 00:05:27.517 --> 00:05:30.319
  • Really what you're doing,
  • 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:31.921
  • The african-american community
  • 00:05:31.921 --> 00:05:33.156
  • And the jewish community historically had close ties.
  • 00:05:33.156 --> 00:05:36.092
  • Do you see signs that's unraveling now
  • 00:05:36.092 --> 00:05:38.528
  • As this pro-palestinian mindset
  • 00:05:38.528 --> 00:05:40.696
  • Kind of seeps into the black community?
  • 00:05:40.696 --> 00:05:43.132
  • I it's been mixed.
  • 00:05:43.132 --> 00:05:44.934
  • So on some levels, yeah, we've seen it in
  • 00:05:44.934 --> 00:05:47.437
  • Different parts of the country
  • 00:05:47.437 --> 00:05:48.471
  • Where there's some stresses that are there,
  • 00:05:48.471 --> 00:05:49.872
  • Especially where israel is concerned.
  • 00:05:49.872 --> 00:05:51.908
  • Pastor that's funny.
  • 00:05:51.908 --> 00:05:52.942
  • It was the same thing doing doctor king's
  • 00:05:52.942 --> 00:05:54.944
  • Anti-zionism and antisemitism being the same thing.
  • 00:05:54.944 --> 00:05:57.246
  • Right.
  • 00:05:57.246 --> 00:05:58.381
  • So part of what's been going on is that in this type of
  • 00:05:58.381 --> 00:06:01.551
  • Onslaught of this moving forward, of anti-semitism,
  • 00:06:01.551 --> 00:06:04.187
  • The past,
  • 00:06:04.187 --> 00:06:04.887
  • He was saying people like pastor
  • 00:06:04.887 --> 00:06:06.389
  • Corey, other black pastors, i've seen leaders
  • 00:06:06.389 --> 00:06:08.224
  • Have been pushing back on it.
  • 00:06:08.224 --> 00:06:09.525
  • So it's kind of like this battle that's happening, right?
  • 00:06:09.525 --> 00:06:11.594
  • Some of them are seeing the negative,
  • 00:06:11.594 --> 00:06:13.029
  • And some of them kind of shine
  • 00:06:13.029 --> 00:06:13.930
  • The light on it at the same time.
  • 00:06:13.930 --> 00:06:15.498
  • Yeah.
  • 00:06:15.498 --> 00:06:16.599
  • And that's playing out, i think gentlemen writ large
  • 00:06:16.599 --> 00:06:17.900
  • Across the country in every community right now,
  • 00:06:17.900 --> 00:06:19.702
  • The battle over israel, very biblical, by the way.
  • 00:06:19.702 --> 00:06:22.438
  • Good masonic real quick.
  • 00:06:22.438 --> 00:06:23.606
  • Capitol hill yesterday, the 11th annual solidarity
  • 00:06:23.606 --> 00:06:27.743
  • A basically a muslim solidarity day.
  • 00:06:27.743 --> 00:06:30.780
  • The council on american-islamic relations care for short.
  • 00:06:30.780 --> 00:06:33.983
  • A muslim brotherhood linked group. yes, sir.
  • 00:06:33.983 --> 00:06:36.185
  • On capitol hill look advocating members of congress.
  • 00:06:36.185 --> 00:06:39.422
  • Yes, sir.
  • 00:06:39.722 --> 00:06:40.957
  • Is this a sign of the times as we see islam rising in america?
  • 00:06:40.957 --> 00:06:43.860
  • Extremism is not a faith community. right.
  • 00:06:43.860 --> 00:06:46.329
  • So to your point, there's the israel advocacy days.
  • 00:06:46.329 --> 00:06:49.699
  • All kinds of things are happening on capitol hill.
  • 00:06:49.699 --> 00:06:51.300
  • But like you said, when you see hamas linked groups
  • 00:06:51.300 --> 00:06:54.871
  • Represented at capitol hill speaking to our leaders, right.
  • 00:06:54.871 --> 00:06:58.341
  • Yeah, that's a huge problem, right.
  • 00:06:58.341 --> 00:07:00.343
  • But and this is part of the issue that once again,
  • 00:07:00.343 --> 00:07:02.912
  • The anti-semitism part is because that's being normalized.
  • 00:07:02.912 --> 00:07:05.882
  • People are really seeing that.
  • 00:07:05.882 --> 00:07:07.116
  • And this is why you get stuff like seven, 16, 23 happening
  • 00:07:07.116 --> 00:07:10.786
  • And an onslaught against israel after they were
  • 00:07:10.786 --> 00:07:13.456
  • The ones who were victimized. right.
  • 00:07:13.456 --> 00:07:14.757
  • This is part of why
  • 00:07:14.757 --> 00:07:15.791
  • It is hamas linked groups like that on capitol
  • 00:07:15.791 --> 00:07:18.394
  • Hill influencing what's going on.
  • 00:07:18.394 --> 00:07:19.795
  • And our politics has. to a great point.
  • 00:07:19.795 --> 00:07:21.931
  • You would think after the october 7th massacre,
  • 00:07:21.931 --> 00:07:24.000
  • There'd be this outpouring of support
  • 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:25.668
  • For israel and the jewish people.
  • 00:07:25.668 --> 00:07:27.537
  • Sad to say, it was quite the opposite,
  • 00:07:27.537 --> 00:07:29.305
  • Especially among young people on american college campuses.
  • 00:07:29.305 --> 00:07:32.441
  • Do you see that dynamic? it's a really troubling thing.
  • 00:07:32.441 --> 00:07:34.844
  • If we don't get a hold of it,
  • 00:07:34.844 --> 00:07:36.846
  • We're we're going to be just like what's going on in europe.
  • 00:07:36.846 --> 00:07:39.382
  • And did you see that thought being progressed across europe?
  • 00:07:39.382 --> 00:07:43.386
  • That same thing can happen in america.
  • 00:07:43.386 --> 00:07:45.121
  • And i think
  • 00:07:45.121 --> 00:07:46.355
  • Sometimes that as americans, we sometime are a little too,
  • 00:07:46.355 --> 00:07:51.427
  • Much of ourselves to believe that it can't happen.
  • 00:07:52.428 --> 00:07:54.864
  • It can't happen.
  • 00:07:54.864 --> 00:07:55.631
  • It can't. happen.
  • 00:07:55.631 --> 00:07:56.532
  • We're safe. we're separated by oceans.
  • 00:07:56.532 --> 00:07:58.501
  • But it means we need to know it can happen,
  • 00:07:58.501 --> 00:08:01.003
  • And we need to be aware of it.
  • 00:08:01.003 --> 00:08:02.338
  • And we need to do something about it.
  • 00:08:02.338 --> 00:08:03.873
  • And hopefully, we can continue to give voice to,
  • 00:08:03.873 --> 00:08:07.710
  • Black churches and black pastors and let them know,
  • 00:08:07.710 --> 00:08:10.913
  • Help them
  • 00:08:10.913 --> 00:08:12.114
  • With the biological viewpoints on how to get the message out,
  • 00:08:12.114 --> 00:08:15.184
  • So that we don't allow those type of things to continue.
  • 00:08:15.184 --> 00:08:18.120
  • Yeah. pastor corey, great point.
  • 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.555
  • I mean, europe, guys. cautionary tale. london.
  • 00:08:19.555 --> 00:08:22.425
  • Berlin. paris, brussels.
  • 00:08:22.425 --> 00:08:24.093
  • Walked through the streets. yes.
  • 00:08:24.093 --> 00:08:25.361
  • It ain't what it used to be, needless to say.
  • 00:08:25.361 --> 00:08:27.129
  • Very much a cautionary tale.
  • 00:08:27.129 --> 00:08:28.264
  • And, gentlemen,
  • 00:08:28.264 --> 00:08:29.165
  • It's interesting, as we go to the break,
  • 00:08:29.165 --> 00:08:30.533
  • The one thread that seems to link the progressive far left,
  • 00:08:30.533 --> 00:08:33.569
  • As you said, pastor corey,
  • 00:08:33.569 --> 00:08:35.371
  • The radical islamist who are talking about
  • 00:08:35.371 --> 00:08:36.973
  • The likes of care
  • 00:08:36.973 --> 00:08:37.807
  • And then that tucker carlson wing,
  • 00:08:37.807 --> 00:08:39.642
  • I guess you could say they used to be on the right.
  • 00:08:39.642 --> 00:08:41.477
  • I don't know where they are now.
  • 00:08:41.477 --> 00:08:43.179
  • Is their hatred of the jewish people and of israel?
  • 00:08:43.179 --> 00:08:45.548
  • I don't think that's a coincidence.
  • 00:08:45.548 --> 00:08:46.782
  • More with pastor corey brooks and pastor sunny washington.
  • 00:08:46.782 --> 00:08:49.518
  • After the break.
  • 00:08:49.518 --> 00:08:50.686
  • This man is walking across america, folks, as we speak.
  • 00:08:50.686 --> 00:08:53.689
  • Why is he doing it more with pastor
  • 00:08:53.689 --> 00:08:55.958
  • Corey and pastor dumisani next? stick around.
  • 00:08:55.958 --> 00:09:03.006
  • Corey and pastor dumisani next? stick around.
  • 00:09:03.006 --> 00:09:05.668
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight we're talking to pastor
  • 00:09:06.802 --> 00:09:09.071
  • Dumisani washington and pastor corey brooks.
  • 00:09:09.071 --> 00:09:11.307
  • Folks, follow them right now and across social media.
  • 00:09:11.307 --> 00:09:14.043
  • Now, pastor query,
  • 00:09:14.043 --> 00:09:14.744
  • We said,
  • 00:09:14.744 --> 00:09:15.711
  • And the people probably saying what we said,
  • 00:09:15.711 --> 00:09:17.680
  • You're walking 3000 miles right now across america.
  • 00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:20.449
  • Start out in new york city, ending up in california.
  • 00:09:20.449 --> 00:09:22.818
  • We're in dallas.
  • 00:09:22.818 --> 00:09:23.719
  • You're about halfway through right now.
  • 00:09:23.719 --> 00:09:25.221
  • You're dealing with a bum foot, by the way. absolutely.
  • 00:09:25.221 --> 00:09:27.156
  • Tyler, you're pushing through.
  • 00:09:27.156 --> 00:09:29.558
  • Why are you doing it?
  • 00:09:29.558 --> 00:09:30.393
  • I know you're it's for an incredible
  • 00:09:30.393 --> 00:09:32.128
  • Cause for your hometown of chicago.
  • 00:09:32.128 --> 00:09:33.796
  • Tell us a bit more about it.
  • 00:09:33.796 --> 00:09:35.031
  • So we started, on september 1st in new york times square,
  • 00:09:35.031 --> 00:09:38.668
  • To walk across america to bring attention and awareness
  • 00:09:38.668 --> 00:09:41.203
  • To not just the violence that's going on in chicago,
  • 00:09:41.203 --> 00:09:44.240
  • But in these urban centers across america,
  • 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:46.242
  • But also to take responsibility and accountability
  • 00:09:46.242 --> 00:09:49.378
  • Until every neighborhood
  • 00:09:49.378 --> 00:09:50.913
  • That you can make a comeback, no matter how bad things are.
  • 00:09:50.913 --> 00:09:53.949
  • So we're trying to take a message of hope.
  • 00:09:53.949 --> 00:09:56.285
  • We're trying to take a message of accountability,
  • 00:09:56.285 --> 00:09:58.054
  • Faith and family values, city by city, and let them know
  • 00:09:58.054 --> 00:10:02.058
  • That, you know, you don't have to stay the way you are.
  • 00:10:02.058 --> 00:10:05.127
  • You can become a lot better.
  • 00:10:05.127 --> 00:10:06.195
  • And so we're trying to raise the funds
  • 00:10:06.195 --> 00:10:07.963
  • To build a $50 million center on the south side of chicago,
  • 00:10:07.963 --> 00:10:11.067
  • Where we're about 75% complete with the center,
  • 00:10:11.067 --> 00:10:14.170
  • And things are moving.
  • 00:10:14.170 --> 00:10:15.137
  • We're, moving pretty good.
  • 00:10:15.137 --> 00:10:16.939
  • However, like you said, i got a little bum
  • 00:10:16.939 --> 00:10:19.041
  • Foot now, so i'm taking a break for the next four weeks.
  • 00:10:19.041 --> 00:10:21.977
  • So that's.
  • 00:10:21.977 --> 00:10:22.812
  • I get to be in dallas, and that's fun.
  • 00:10:22.812 --> 00:10:24.146
  • We love having you here.
  • 00:10:24.146 --> 00:10:25.047
  • Hey, you've earned a little break, man.
  • 00:10:25.047 --> 00:10:26.182
  • You've been pushing hard,
  • 00:10:26.182 --> 00:10:27.349
  • And you trying to raise $25 million
  • 00:10:27.349 --> 00:10:29.351
  • For community work in chi-town in chicago.
  • 00:10:29.351 --> 00:10:31.454
  • And pastor doom sanneh i love this.
  • 00:10:31.454 --> 00:10:33.322
  • The sense of optimism.
  • 00:10:33.322 --> 00:10:34.824
  • I'm from big city, philadelphia,
  • 00:10:34.824 --> 00:10:36.625
  • Dc, new york city, my whole life on the east coast.
  • 00:10:36.625 --> 00:10:38.661
  • We're coming here to dallas, but we can't abandon our cities.
  • 00:10:38.661 --> 00:10:42.064
  • Yeah, the great american cities like chicago.
  • 00:10:42.064 --> 00:10:44.900
  • We can't abandon our cities.
  • 00:10:44.900 --> 00:10:46.001
  • This is an incredible initiative.
  • 00:10:46.001 --> 00:10:48.070
  • This is not only can we not eric,
  • 00:10:48.070 --> 00:10:49.972
  • But what we're seeing is the danger of abandoning.
  • 00:10:49.972 --> 00:10:52.675
  • Right? yeah.
  • 00:10:52.675 --> 00:10:53.309
  • That vacuum gets filled
  • 00:10:53.309 --> 00:10:54.677
  • By all kinds of other things that are going to going
  • 00:10:54.677 --> 00:10:57.046
  • To make more things more difficult.
  • 00:10:57.046 --> 00:10:58.647
  • So people like my fantastic books on the front lines.
  • 00:10:58.647 --> 00:11:01.117
  • They're doing the work,
  • 00:11:01.117 --> 00:11:02.251
  • Doing this incredible ministry for over 20 years now.
  • 00:11:02.251 --> 00:11:05.321
  • And this is for even with organization
  • 00:11:05.321 --> 00:11:07.490
  • Institute for black solidarity with israel,
  • 00:11:07.490 --> 00:11:09.358
  • We seek to partner with the pastors
  • 00:11:09.358 --> 00:11:11.260
  • And leaders, community leaders across the country,
  • 00:11:11.260 --> 00:11:13.462
  • That even if israel is not their thing
  • 00:11:13.462 --> 00:11:15.197
  • In terms of their radar, they are doing amazing work
  • 00:11:15.197 --> 00:11:18.334
  • In their areas, in their communities,
  • 00:11:18.334 --> 00:11:20.402
  • And we want to help them contribute to that.
  • 00:11:20.402 --> 00:11:22.037
  • And often those pastors
  • 00:11:22.037 --> 00:11:23.606
  • Have great relationships with the jewish community there
  • 00:11:23.606 --> 00:11:26.075
  • That either doing that with them
  • 00:11:26.075 --> 00:11:27.209
  • Or at least telling other people about what's going on
  • 00:11:27.209 --> 00:11:29.145
  • And everything, that's part of that synergy
  • 00:11:29.145 --> 00:11:30.412
  • That we were talking about before that.
  • 00:11:30.412 --> 00:11:31.614
  • That has always been the case, that when those types of things
  • 00:11:31.614 --> 00:11:33.883
  • Are happening, those stressors are there in those areas.
  • 00:11:33.883 --> 00:11:36.619
  • You often see black and jewish
  • 00:11:36.619 --> 00:11:37.987
  • Community leaders coming together.
  • 00:11:37.987 --> 00:11:39.488
  • Yeah.
  • 00:11:39.488 --> 00:11:40.556
  • Do you think in many ways, i mean, progressives,
  • 00:11:40.556 --> 00:11:42.858
  • The left would say they're the champions
  • 00:11:42.858 --> 00:11:44.660
  • Of the african-american community.
  • 00:11:44.660 --> 00:11:46.362
  • Is the reality different on the ground?
  • 00:11:47.129 --> 00:11:48.931
  • Are they beneficial for
  • 00:11:48.931 --> 00:11:50.232
  • The african-american community, the messiah, or.
  • 00:11:50.232 --> 00:11:52.401
  • Because. he's been destructive?
  • 00:11:52.401 --> 00:11:53.702
  • It's been very destructive, right.
  • 00:11:53.702 --> 00:11:55.237
  • And sometimes it's well-meaning but destructive,
  • 00:11:55.237 --> 00:11:57.673
  • And sometimes it's cynical and destructive. right.
  • 00:11:57.673 --> 00:12:00.042
  • You have all kinds of different issues, and i just pick one
  • 00:12:00.042 --> 00:12:02.711
  • Education, for example. right.
  • 00:12:02.711 --> 00:12:03.979
  • We know what works and what does not work.
  • 00:12:03.979 --> 00:12:05.948
  • But when people are invested in what does not work because it's
  • 00:12:05.948 --> 00:12:08.217
  • Either lining their pockets or is good for them politically,
  • 00:12:08.217 --> 00:12:10.820
  • They don't care about what's going on in the school district.
  • 00:12:10.820 --> 00:12:13.222
  • And that's just one small example.
  • 00:12:13.222 --> 00:12:14.990
  • So oftentimes people will use that progressive moniker,
  • 00:12:14.990 --> 00:12:17.893
  • But won't often take into account
  • 00:12:17.893 --> 00:12:20.663
  • What's actually going on on the ground. yeah, yeah.
  • 00:12:20.663 --> 00:12:23.132
  • It's regressive.
  • 00:12:23.132 --> 00:12:23.899
  • At the end of the day,
  • 00:12:23.899 --> 00:12:25.067
  • Pastor core, you're doing the walk
  • 00:12:25.067 --> 00:12:26.135
  • Across america, of course, but not too long ago,
  • 00:12:26.135 --> 00:12:28.737
  • You were spending a lot of time on rooftops in chicago and all
  • 00:12:28.737 --> 00:12:32.741
  • Sorts of elements,
  • 00:12:32.741 --> 00:12:33.542
  • Bad weather, good
  • 00:12:33.542 --> 00:12:34.643
  • Weather, 94 days at one point on a rooftop in chicago.
  • 00:12:34.643 --> 00:12:37.446
  • Why did you do that?
  • 00:12:37.446 --> 00:12:38.948
  • And tell us about the response you're getting, by the way.
  • 00:12:38.948 --> 00:12:41.217
  • So i spent 94 days on a rooftop in chicago,
  • 00:12:41.217 --> 00:12:44.753
  • On the south side of chicago in the winter.
  • 00:12:44.753 --> 00:12:46.722
  • Then i spent 343 days in the saint on a rooftop.
  • 00:12:46.722 --> 00:12:51.026
  • To bring attention and awareness that the winds.
  • 00:12:51.026 --> 00:12:52.528
  • Are 43 days. yes.
  • 00:12:52.528 --> 00:12:53.596
  • And this is for project two, for a project.
  • 00:12:53.596 --> 00:12:55.097
  • Hood, to raise money to build this center,
  • 00:12:55.097 --> 00:12:58.267
  • And to bring attention and awareness of the violence.
  • 00:12:58.267 --> 00:13:01.003
  • We decided that we wanted to do something ourselves and up
  • 00:13:01.003 --> 00:13:03.772
  • Rating on government to come in and save the day.
  • 00:13:03.772 --> 00:13:05.941
  • I said, listen, let's roll up our sleeves.
  • 00:13:05.941 --> 00:13:07.643
  • Let's do the work that it takes to get people
  • 00:13:07.643 --> 00:13:09.645
  • To recognize what's going on
  • 00:13:09.645 --> 00:13:11.347
  • And draw attention and let people know
  • 00:13:11.347 --> 00:13:13.983
  • How we can solve these issues
  • 00:13:13.983 --> 00:13:15.384
  • And problems ourselves if we just had a little help.
  • 00:13:15.384 --> 00:13:17.820
  • And so in an effort to,
  • 00:13:17.820 --> 00:13:20.456
  • Not have to receive any government moneys,
  • 00:13:20.456 --> 00:13:22.858
  • We said, listen, let's just ask america from,
  • 00:13:22.858 --> 00:13:25.761
  • People from all across america, the south, the east,
  • 00:13:25.761 --> 00:13:28.497
  • Wherever they're from, to say, hey, listen,
  • 00:13:28.497 --> 00:13:30.366
  • On the south side of chicago,
  • 00:13:30.366 --> 00:13:31.533
  • We're trying to do something from a conservative
  • 00:13:31.533 --> 00:13:33.135
  • Point of view, a biblical point of view.
  • 00:13:33.135 --> 00:13:35.137
  • All we need is a little help and we can get the job done.
  • 00:13:35.137 --> 00:13:37.706
  • And so we've been doing that with all the programs
  • 00:13:37.706 --> 00:13:40.309
  • And the place that we're building.
  • 00:13:40.309 --> 00:13:42.077
  • It's a very successful,
  • 00:13:42.077 --> 00:13:43.746
  • Ask people to go to project hood.org,
  • 00:13:43.746 --> 00:13:45.481
  • And they can see all the programs
  • 00:13:45.481 --> 00:13:47.383
  • That we're utilizing
  • 00:13:47.383 --> 00:13:48.751
  • To have people take control of their lives.
  • 00:13:48.751 --> 00:13:51.020
  • We believe that because of progressive politics,
  • 00:13:51.020 --> 00:13:54.523
  • And left leaning politics,
  • 00:13:54.523 --> 00:13:56.258
  • That a lot of people in our community
  • 00:13:56.258 --> 00:13:57.760
  • Have been, dependent upon government for too long.
  • 00:13:57.760 --> 00:14:00.696
  • So in an effort to change that and transform
  • 00:14:00.696 --> 00:14:02.932
  • That, we've taken this block that was called a block
  • 00:14:02.932 --> 00:14:05.601
  • Named after a young man named peri who was shot and killed.
  • 00:14:05.601 --> 00:14:08.771
  • The gangs took the o in his name
  • 00:14:08.771 --> 00:14:10.072
  • And start calling it oh oh block.
  • 00:14:10.072 --> 00:14:12.007
  • We said, we're going to keep the oh,
  • 00:14:12.007 --> 00:14:13.075
  • But we're going to change the opportunity block.
  • 00:14:13.075 --> 00:14:15.110
  • We're going to teach people how to transform their lives,
  • 00:14:15.110 --> 00:14:17.079
  • Take control of their lives, and be accountable and,
  • 00:14:17.079 --> 00:14:20.282
  • Move away from government.
  • 00:14:20.282 --> 00:14:21.450
  • Yeah. amen.
  • 00:14:21.450 --> 00:14:22.251
  • Pest doom sounded about 40s left,
  • 00:14:22.251 --> 00:14:23.886
  • And we'll bring you right back. of course.
  • 00:14:23.886 --> 00:14:25.821
  • Is this a christ centered movement? at the end of the day?
  • 00:14:25.821 --> 00:14:28.123
  • I mean, we need revival in this nation.
  • 00:14:28.123 --> 00:14:29.825
  • At the end of the day, this comes down to jesus 100%.
  • 00:14:29.825 --> 00:14:32.261
  • Everything we talked about, whether it's anti-semitism,
  • 00:14:32.261 --> 00:14:34.163
  • The whole israel part of it,
  • 00:14:34.163 --> 00:14:35.364
  • Whether it's going on in our cities
  • 00:14:35.364 --> 00:14:36.732
  • Or schools, those types of things.
  • 00:14:36.732 --> 00:14:38.200
  • And the word of god says that except the lord build a house,
  • 00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:40.636
  • They labor in vain that build it.
  • 00:14:40.636 --> 00:14:42.104
  • So we recognize that all of these things go back
  • 00:14:42.104 --> 00:14:44.807
  • To god being the center of our lives
  • 00:14:44.807 --> 00:14:47.876
  • Husbands, families, fathers,
  • 00:14:47.876 --> 00:14:49.611
  • These types of things
  • 00:14:49.611 --> 00:14:50.713
  • That god established to actually make a society strong.
  • 00:14:50.713 --> 00:14:54.083
  • When a society turns away from it,
  • 00:14:54.083 --> 00:14:55.551
  • Everything starts to collapse.
  • 00:14:55.551 --> 00:14:56.685
  • And that's what we're seeing right now.
  • 00:14:56.685 --> 00:14:57.886
  • Amen.
  • 00:14:57.886 --> 00:14:58.520
  • Pastor sunday, well said.
  • 00:14:58.520 --> 00:14:59.521
  • By the way, chicago is your home base, pastor.
  • 00:14:59.521 --> 00:15:02.391
  • And after the break where you talk about
  • 00:15:02.391 --> 00:15:03.592
  • A chicago bulls player, folks,
  • 00:15:03.592 --> 00:15:04.960
  • If you heard the story of jaden, ivy
  • 00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:07.563
  • Essentially blackballed from the nba for speaking up
  • 00:15:07.563 --> 00:15:11.000
  • For traditional marriage and against gender madness,
  • 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.902
  • You're going to hear the story next. don't move.
  • 00:15:13.902 --> 00:15:21.000
  • You're going to hear the story next. don't move.
  • 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:23.512
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:25.914
  • We're talking to pastor corey
  • 00:15:25.914 --> 00:15:27.049
  • Brooks and pastor doom dumisani washington folks.
  • 00:15:27.049 --> 00:15:29.051
  • Check them out x.
  • 00:15:29.051 --> 00:15:30.252
  • And across social media they're both doing incredible work.
  • 00:15:30.252 --> 00:15:33.222
  • Pastor corey jayden ivey, chicago bulls player,
  • 00:15:33.222 --> 00:15:35.791
  • Recently waved from the team.
  • 00:15:35.791 --> 00:15:37.359
  • They said it was conduct detrimental to the team,
  • 00:15:37.359 --> 00:15:40.262
  • But it didn't escaped my attention that he was waived
  • 00:15:40.262 --> 00:15:42.898
  • Shortly after.
  • 00:15:42.898 --> 00:15:43.899
  • He called the nba's promotion of pride month
  • 00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:46.301
  • The month of june lgbtq plus whatever
  • 00:15:46.301 --> 00:15:49.505
  • He called it, unrighteousness based on his christian beliefs.
  • 00:15:49.505 --> 00:15:53.008
  • In short order, he was released.
  • 00:15:53.008 --> 00:15:55.077
  • Absolutely. you're in chicago.
  • 00:15:55.077 --> 00:15:56.779
  • What's your take on this? you just wrote a great piece
  • 00:15:56.779 --> 00:15:58.547
  • About it, by the way, on fox news.
  • 00:15:58.547 --> 00:15:59.648
  • I appreciate it.
  • 00:15:59.648 --> 00:16:00.783
  • It was very unfortunate that we're living in a day in
  • 00:16:00.783 --> 00:16:03.352
  • A time where people are speaking for their biblical beliefs
  • 00:16:03.352 --> 00:16:07.156
  • And putting their faith
  • 00:16:07.156 --> 00:16:08.690
  • On the forefront, which is a great thing,
  • 00:16:08.690 --> 00:16:11.093
  • But they're also paying the consequences.
  • 00:16:11.093 --> 00:16:12.795
  • And we're seeing this, not just with him, but a lot of,
  • 00:16:12.795 --> 00:16:16.365
  • Other entertainers or nba figures who are starting
  • 00:16:16.365 --> 00:16:19.902
  • To speak out on behalf of the gospel. yeah.
  • 00:16:19.902 --> 00:16:22.004
  • And they're paying the price.
  • 00:16:22.004 --> 00:16:23.939
  • And, pastor, i'm sorry, that's one part of it,
  • 00:16:23.939 --> 00:16:26.141
  • Speaking out on gender and biblical marriage.
  • 00:16:26.141 --> 00:16:30.412
  • And the guy gets waived.
  • 00:16:30.412 --> 00:16:31.280
  • It's unbelievable
  • 00:16:31.280 --> 00:16:32.448
  • That a major sports league,
  • 00:16:32.448 --> 00:16:33.449
  • The nba, it's unbelievable in this day and age.
  • 00:16:33.449 --> 00:16:35.951
  • But you speak out on sexuality, on certain issues.
  • 00:16:35.951 --> 00:16:39.388
  • Israel has become one.
  • 00:16:39.388 --> 00:16:41.190
  • Israel may be the hot button issue now.
  • 00:16:41.190 --> 00:16:43.725
  • People being ostracized for standing with israel
  • 00:16:43.725 --> 00:16:46.728
  • And the jewish people cancel culture against zionism. yes.
  • 00:16:46.728 --> 00:16:50.065
  • Yeah. talk a bit more about that.
  • 00:16:50.065 --> 00:16:51.266
  • I know you face it.
  • 00:16:51.266 --> 00:16:52.034
  • Yeah, yeah.
  • 00:16:52.034 --> 00:16:52.668
  • So when you and the other,
  • 00:16:52.668 --> 00:16:54.269
  • Earlier, eric, you mentioned what's going on on the right,
  • 00:16:54.269 --> 00:16:56.472
  • The tucker carlson, the candace owens, everything.
  • 00:16:56.472 --> 00:16:58.740
  • So you have left, right?
  • 00:16:58.740 --> 00:16:59.908
  • You have, you know, it's kind of coming from everywhere.
  • 00:16:59.908 --> 00:17:01.743
  • So if you're a jewish american,
  • 00:17:01.743 --> 00:17:03.278
  • You're seeing it coming from everywhere, right?
  • 00:17:03.278 --> 00:17:04.780
  • If you are a christian standing with israel
  • 00:17:04.780 --> 00:17:06.582
  • Or you're pushing back on it, you're seeing it as well, right?
  • 00:17:06.582 --> 00:17:09.518
  • So it is an indication again of where we are.
  • 00:17:09.518 --> 00:17:13.255
  • The word of god is very clear. psalm 83.
  • 00:17:13.255 --> 00:17:15.357
  • And as you know, eric, many other places it talks
  • 00:17:15.357 --> 00:17:16.992
  • About equates hatred for israel with hatred for god. right.
  • 00:17:16.992 --> 00:17:19.661
  • The psalmist says god,
  • 00:17:19.661 --> 00:17:20.829
  • Your enemies are coming against you
  • 00:17:20.829 --> 00:17:22.631
  • And they're coming against your people.
  • 00:17:22.631 --> 00:17:23.866
  • He kind of makes those things connected.
  • 00:17:23.866 --> 00:17:26.401
  • And we see it's as other people a lot before me
  • 00:17:26.401 --> 00:17:29.905
  • Said, they're much smarter than me.
  • 00:17:29.905 --> 00:17:31.840
  • Anti-semitism in society is usually an indication
  • 00:17:31.840 --> 00:17:34.176
  • That something even deeper is going on. right?
  • 00:17:34.176 --> 00:17:36.445
  • It's like the canary in the coal mine. right?
  • 00:17:36.445 --> 00:17:38.080
  • So when hatred for jews is coming from different
  • 00:17:38.080 --> 00:17:41.450
  • Political spectrums and everything,
  • 00:17:41.450 --> 00:17:43.418
  • That's usually a bad sign. it's going on.
  • 00:17:43.418 --> 00:17:45.554
  • It's spiritual.
  • 00:17:45.554 --> 00:17:46.588
  • Yeah. it's clearly a spiritual battle, gentlemen.
  • 00:17:46.588 --> 00:17:48.757
  • Yes. and doing sauna. you're working on a book now.
  • 00:17:48.757 --> 00:17:51.126
  • You've written a few. you wrote a great book called zionism.
  • 00:17:51.126 --> 00:17:53.195
  • The black church folks picked up amazon.com.
  • 00:17:53.195 --> 00:17:55.164
  • Right now you're working on a book right now as well.
  • 00:17:55.164 --> 00:17:57.599
  • Talk about the roots of all this of the palestinian movement.
  • 00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:00.903
  • Really some soviet roots there. yeah.
  • 00:18:00.903 --> 00:18:03.038
  • And talk a bit more about that, i think will fascinate people.
  • 00:18:03.038 --> 00:18:05.607
  • So we did have a series of media organizations.
  • 00:18:05.607 --> 00:18:08.410
  • Did a series of videos last fall called we are not the same
  • 00:18:08.410 --> 00:18:12.247
  • How free palestine exploiting the black community.
  • 00:18:12.247 --> 00:18:14.917
  • Yeah, and we did it from touch on.
  • 00:18:14.917 --> 00:18:17.719
  • But my book comes first a little bit before.
  • 00:18:17.719 --> 00:18:19.121
  • But the plo, as you know, eric started in 1964,
  • 00:18:19.121 --> 00:18:21.757
  • The palestine liberation organization.
  • 00:18:21.757 --> 00:18:23.258
  • Yeah. yasser arafat becomes a chairman in 1969.
  • 00:18:23.258 --> 00:18:26.128
  • And his singular focus almost seems to be the black community.
  • 00:18:26.128 --> 00:18:29.998
  • Right.
  • 00:18:29.998 --> 00:18:30.599
  • You see him
  • 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:31.733
  • Photographed everybody, yasser arafat and angela davis,
  • 00:18:31.733 --> 00:18:34.436
  • Yasser arafat and eldridge cleaver, yasser arafat,
  • 00:18:34.436 --> 00:18:36.104
  • Jesse jackson and why the short version of it is
  • 00:18:36.104 --> 00:18:40.075
  • He knew in the plo, which was created by the kgb.
  • 00:18:40.075 --> 00:18:43.145
  • Yes. right.
  • 00:18:43.145 --> 00:18:43.979
  • They knew that if they're going to sell
  • 00:18:43.979 --> 00:18:45.581
  • Their genocidal movement
  • 00:18:45.581 --> 00:18:46.848
  • To destroy israel as a civil rights group,
  • 00:18:46.848 --> 00:18:49.718
  • Then who better than stand next to them?
  • 00:18:49.718 --> 00:18:51.653
  • The civil rights leaders?
  • 00:18:51.653 --> 00:18:53.188
  • So they wanted to make sure
  • 00:18:53.188 --> 00:18:54.389
  • They exploited that as much as they could.
  • 00:18:54.389 --> 00:18:55.991
  • That started in the 60s. fast forward to now.
  • 00:18:55.991 --> 00:18:57.893
  • This is why i tell people often i say this last thing
  • 00:18:57.893 --> 00:19:00.162
  • Real quick.
  • 00:19:00.162 --> 00:19:00.996
  • The focus wasn't the black community.
  • 00:19:00.996 --> 00:19:02.664
  • It was to exploit the black community. right?
  • 00:19:02.664 --> 00:19:04.733
  • Because after october 7th,
  • 00:19:04.733 --> 00:19:06.401
  • Which schools are exploiting the hbcus?
  • 00:19:06.401 --> 00:19:08.403
  • No, no.
  • 00:19:08.403 --> 00:19:09.238
  • Harvard, yale, columbia, right.
  • 00:19:09.238 --> 00:19:11.740
  • Where the black population is like three, 4 or 5%.
  • 00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:14.142
  • Right. so the focus for them was that diabolical genius.
  • 00:19:14.142 --> 00:19:16.945
  • Let's use black civil rights leaders,
  • 00:19:16.945 --> 00:19:18.947
  • People who went through slavery, jim crow, and flip this story
  • 00:19:18.947 --> 00:19:22.918
  • About israel.
  • 00:19:22.918 --> 00:19:24.186
  • Let's call israel the slaves, israel, the jim crow, israel,
  • 00:19:24.186 --> 00:19:27.389
  • The apartheid. that's it's always been a lie.
  • 00:19:27.389 --> 00:19:29.625
  • But you keep telling a lie over and over and over again.
  • 00:19:29.625 --> 00:19:32.327
  • That's what you get. says to him, sounded great.
  • 00:19:32.327 --> 00:19:33.829
  • Break down. pastor corey.
  • 00:19:33.829 --> 00:19:34.930
  • How did you become such a staunch supporter of israel?
  • 00:19:34.930 --> 00:19:37.699
  • Well, studying at dallas theological seminary,
  • 00:19:37.699 --> 00:19:39.935
  • You know, once i the bible was open
  • 00:19:39.935 --> 00:19:42.838
  • And i finally
  • 00:19:42.838 --> 00:19:44.072
  • Start understanding of theology from a biblical perspective
  • 00:19:44.072 --> 00:19:47.509
  • And a god centered perspective and jesus christ
  • 00:19:47.509 --> 00:19:50.078
  • At the forefront, i had no choice
  • 00:19:50.078 --> 00:19:51.713
  • But to stand with israel, and i think that's all there.
  • 00:19:51.713 --> 00:19:54.216
  • Yeah, i think that's what's lacking in a lot of,
  • 00:19:54.216 --> 00:19:57.019
  • Our churches,
  • 00:19:57.386 --> 00:19:59.087
  • Theological understanding and biblical understanding.
  • 00:19:59.087 --> 00:20:01.957
  • And i think if we could somehow get more of that,
  • 00:20:01.957 --> 00:20:05.260
  • We'll find more people who are like,
  • 00:20:05.260 --> 00:20:07.029
  • Like us who stand with israel.
  • 00:20:07.029 --> 00:20:08.463
  • Yeah. gentlemen.
  • 00:20:08.463 --> 00:20:10.232
  • Are you first? and pastor from sinai?
  • 00:20:10.232 --> 00:20:11.800
  • Do you sense this is, i mean to me, this all out
  • 00:20:11.800 --> 00:20:14.002
  • Assault on israel, on the jewish people so clearly demonic.
  • 00:20:14.002 --> 00:20:17.139
  • This really seems like a spiritual war.
  • 00:20:17.139 --> 00:20:18.940
  • Absolutely. it definitely is a spiritual warfare. yeah.
  • 00:20:18.940 --> 00:20:21.810
  • We're living in a day
  • 00:20:21.810 --> 00:20:22.744
  • In a time where we must stand with israel.
  • 00:20:22.744 --> 00:20:26.748
  • To stand with israel is to stand with god.
  • 00:20:26.748 --> 00:20:29.084
  • And if we're going to counter what's going on,
  • 00:20:29.084 --> 00:20:32.354
  • We got to continue to all come together.
  • 00:20:32.354 --> 00:20:34.323
  • We got to continue to push our viewpoint
  • 00:20:34.323 --> 00:20:36.191
  • Just as hard as they are pushing their viewpoint.
  • 00:20:36.191 --> 00:20:38.460
  • And we have to stand just as strong.
  • 00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:40.228
  • And just as long as they're standing,
  • 00:20:40.228 --> 00:20:42.297
  • If we're going to prevail and ultimately we will prevail.
  • 00:20:42.297 --> 00:20:45.734
  • Well said, pastor tim.
  • 00:20:45.734 --> 00:20:46.835
  • Sana, you've been at this for a long time.
  • 00:20:46.835 --> 00:20:48.337
  • This seems like a prophetic moment,
  • 00:20:48.337 --> 00:20:49.838
  • Really, at the end of the day.
  • 00:20:49.838 --> 00:20:51.139
  • And israel canary in the coal mine,
  • 00:20:51.139 --> 00:20:53.542
  • Not only geopolitically but biblically.
  • 00:20:53.542 --> 00:20:55.777
  • Well, eric, as you know, this issue is very closely
  • 00:20:55.777 --> 00:20:58.613
  • Linked to the persecution of christians going on, right?
  • 00:20:58.613 --> 00:21:00.882
  • Yeah.
  • 00:21:00.882 --> 00:21:01.516
  • The jewish people,
  • 00:21:01.516 --> 00:21:02.584
  • The most persecuted ethnicity around the world,
  • 00:21:02.584 --> 00:21:04.386
  • Christians, the most persecuted religion around the world.
  • 00:21:04.386 --> 00:21:06.855
  • Thousands are being killed literally every year
  • 00:21:06.855 --> 00:21:09.091
  • In nigeria, sudan and all these places.
  • 00:21:09.091 --> 00:21:11.460
  • So we recognize that is the spiritual battle,
  • 00:21:11.460 --> 00:21:13.328
  • The spiritual battle, is it.
  • 00:21:13.328 --> 00:21:14.262
  • While israel's enemies are coming for them,
  • 00:21:14.262 --> 00:21:16.431
  • They want you to ignore what's going on
  • 00:21:16.431 --> 00:21:18.300
  • In other places
  • 00:21:18.300 --> 00:21:19.101
  • Where people who are standing for
  • 00:21:19.101 --> 00:21:19.968
  • Jesus are actually
  • 00:21:19.968 --> 00:21:20.869
  • Losing their lives because of the gospel.
  • 00:21:20.869 --> 00:21:22.504
  • So these two things are completely connected.
  • 00:21:22.504 --> 00:21:24.339
  • Yeah. well said to him.
  • 00:21:24.339 --> 00:21:25.707

  • On america and israel, so i thought
  • 00:21:49.565 --> 00:21:51.234
  • Would be a great way to go out in prayer for you.
  • 00:21:51.234 --> 00:21:53.736
  • First, pastor sandy can close us out.
  • 00:21:53.736 --> 00:21:55.438

  • But most of all, lord, we pray for revival.
  • 00:22:03.112 --> 00:22:05.581
  • Even in our cities where i'm walking across america.
  • 00:22:05.581 --> 00:22:08.351
  • I pray that you would bring great revival.
  • 00:22:08.351 --> 00:22:10.987
  • I pray that people will be saved and set free and delivered,
  • 00:22:10.987 --> 00:22:13.856
  • That they would come to know jesus christ as lord.
  • 00:22:13.856 --> 00:22:16.626
  • Thank you for giving me
  • 00:22:16.626 --> 00:22:17.593
  • The opportunity to walk across america
  • 00:22:17.593 --> 00:22:19.695
  • And take the message of jesus christ.
  • 00:22:19.695 --> 00:22:21.831
  • Lord, we love you and we thank you today.
  • 00:22:21.831 --> 00:22:24.000
  • Amen.
  • 00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:25.234
  • And then, god, we thank you also for your word.
  • 00:22:25.234 --> 00:22:27.236
  • You commanded us in psalm to pray for the peace of jerusalem.
  • 00:22:27.236 --> 00:22:30.039
  • May they prosper that love thee. so we do that even right now.
  • 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:32.742
  • And you said there's a blessing in it,
  • 00:22:32.742 --> 00:22:34.043
  • Even for us, that the nations pray for your holy city.
  • 00:22:34.043 --> 00:22:37.447
  • God, you also told us to pray for our brothers and sisters
  • 00:22:37.447 --> 00:22:40.149
  • Who are being persecuted.
  • 00:22:40.149 --> 00:22:41.451
  • You said in hebrews 13 and three.
  • 00:22:41.451 --> 00:22:43.419
  • So we do that
  • 00:22:43.419 --> 00:22:44.153
  • God now knowing,
  • 00:22:44.153 --> 00:22:45.087
  • Standing on your word, knowing that the god
  • 00:22:45.087 --> 00:22:46.989
  • Of abraham, isaac, and jacob is god.
  • 00:22:46.989 --> 00:22:48.758
  • So in jesus name would you do indeed surround
  • 00:22:48.758 --> 00:22:51.727
  • Israel as the mountains surround jerusalem?
  • 00:22:51.727 --> 00:22:53.296
  • Would you bless our nation even as we bless your first born?
  • 00:22:53.296 --> 00:22:56.499
  • Even you said in your word,
  • 00:22:56.499 --> 00:22:57.567
  • And we give you thanks and praise for your goodness
  • 00:22:57.567 --> 00:22:59.135
