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: Israel Strikes Iran - Will Trump Join? | Stakelbeck Tonight | June 17, 2025
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:18.508 --> 00:00:19.742
- I'm erick stakelbeck,
- 00:00:19.742 --> 00:00:20.844
- And evil is on the run in the middle east right now.
- 00:00:20.844 --> 00:00:25.014
- Over the past five days, israel has pounded iran to the point
- 00:00:25.014 --> 00:00:28.952
- That the ayatollah regime may now be on the brink of collapse.
- 00:00:28.952 --> 00:00:33.523
- After 46 years of spreading mayhem and misery
- 00:00:33.523 --> 00:00:37.994
- Across the region
- 00:00:37.994 --> 00:00:39.195
- Of threatening to destroy israel and the united states.
- 00:00:39.195 --> 00:00:42.832
- The world's number one state sponsor of terrorism
- 00:00:42.832 --> 00:00:45.735
- Is now on the ropes through operation rising lion.
- 00:00:45.735 --> 00:00:49.639
- Israel has decimated iran's military leadership
- 00:00:49.639 --> 00:00:53.042
- And its nuclear scientist.
- 00:00:53.042 --> 00:00:55.111
- It's eliminated at least one third of iran's ballistic
- 00:00:55.111 --> 00:00:58.681
- Missile stockpiles, and it has destroyed
- 00:00:58.681 --> 00:01:02.018
- Iran's nuclear facility at natanz.
- 00:01:02.018 --> 00:01:05.221
- Iran's supreme leader, ayatollah khamenei is now in hiding.
- 00:01:05.221 --> 00:01:09.492
- And all that's left to finish the job of dismantling
- 00:01:09.492 --> 00:01:12.929
- Iran's entire nuclear program may be one final
- 00:01:12.929 --> 00:01:17.600
- Big assist to israel from the united states.
- 00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:21.871
- Iran's fordo nuclear reactor is heavily fortified
- 00:01:21.871 --> 00:01:25.642
- And buried deep underground.
- 00:01:25.642 --> 00:01:27.810
- It's a very hard target, but the united states
- 00:01:27.810 --> 00:01:32.015
- Has the bunker busting bombs capable of taking it out
- 00:01:32.015 --> 00:01:35.518
- And potentially ending this war,
- 00:01:35.518 --> 00:01:37.687
- Which has claimed the lives of at least 24 israelis
- 00:01:37.687 --> 00:01:41.558
- Thanks to iranian missile strikes on civilian areas.
- 00:01:41.558 --> 00:01:45.762
- Enter donald j.
- 00:01:46.129 --> 00:01:47.964
- Trump.
- 00:01:47.964 --> 00:01:49.132
- On monday, the president cut his trip to the g7 summit
- 00:01:49.132 --> 00:01:52.235
- In canada short
- 00:01:52.235 --> 00:01:53.570
- So he could rush back
- 00:01:53.570 --> 00:01:54.804
- To washington, d.c., and head straight to the situation room.
- 00:01:54.804 --> 00:01:59.175
- Folks, the president
- 00:01:59.642 --> 00:02:00.877
- Has had a lot to say about iran over the past 24 hours.
- 00:02:00.877 --> 00:02:04.881
- For starters, quote i have not reached out to iran
- 00:02:04.881 --> 00:02:08.618
- For peace talks in any way, shape or form.
- 00:02:08.618 --> 00:02:11.888
- That's fake news.
- 00:02:11.888 --> 00:02:13.656
- If they want to talk, they know how to reach me.
- 00:02:13.656 --> 00:02:16.326
- They should have taken
- 00:02:16.326 --> 00:02:17.594
- The deal, would have saved a lot of lives.
- 00:02:17.594 --> 00:02:20.930
- And on truth social.
- 00:02:20.930 --> 00:02:22.498
- Earlier today, the president posted this.
- 00:02:22.498 --> 00:02:25.501
- We know exactly where the so-called supreme leader
- 00:02:25.501 --> 00:02:28.972
- Is hiding.
- 00:02:28.972 --> 00:02:29.906
- He is an easy target, but is safe there.
- 00:02:29.906 --> 00:02:32.775
- We are not going to take him out.
- 00:02:32.775 --> 00:02:34.477
- Kill him. at least not for now.
- 00:02:34.477 --> 00:02:37.313
- But we don't want
- 00:02:37.313 --> 00:02:38.881
- Missiles shot at civilians or american soldiers.
- 00:02:38.881 --> 00:02:42.585
- Our patience is wearing thin.
- 00:02:42.585 --> 00:02:45.121
- The president went on to post a bit later simply this
- 00:02:45.121 --> 00:02:48.858
- Unconditional surrender.
- 00:02:48.858 --> 00:02:51.494
- So it appears president trump may be considering joining
- 00:02:51.494 --> 00:02:55.164
- Israel and eliminating
- 00:02:55.164 --> 00:02:56.966
- The iranian nuclear threat once and for all.
- 00:02:56.966 --> 00:03:00.003
- Hey, i don't know which way he'll decide,
- 00:03:00.003 --> 00:03:02.238
- But i do know this.
- 00:03:02.238 --> 00:03:03.973
- God placed him back in office for such a time as this.
- 00:03:03.973 --> 00:03:08.678
- Folks, i can't say it any better than our good friend, u.s.
- 00:03:08.678 --> 00:03:12.148
- Ambassador to israel mike huckabee did.
- 00:03:12.148 --> 00:03:14.751
- Earlier today, the white house published this text message
- 00:03:14.751 --> 00:03:18.588
- Sent by ambassador huckabee to president trump.
- 00:03:18.588 --> 00:03:21.791
- He wrote, mr.
- 00:03:21.791 --> 00:03:23.226
- President, god spared you in butler, p.a., to be
- 00:03:23.226 --> 00:03:26.562
- The most consequential president in a century, maybe ever.
- 00:03:26.562 --> 00:03:30.733
- The decisions on your shoulders.
- 00:03:30.733 --> 00:03:32.368
- I would not want to be made by anyone else.
- 00:03:32.368 --> 00:03:35.672
- You have many voices speaking to you, sir,
- 00:03:35.672 --> 00:03:38.508
- But there is only one voice that matters.
- 00:03:38.508 --> 00:03:41.644
- His voice?
- 00:03:41.944 --> 00:03:43.179
- I am your appointed servant
- 00:03:43.179 --> 00:03:45.048
- In this land and am available for you.
- 00:03:45.048 --> 00:03:47.216
- But i do not try to get in
- 00:03:47.216 --> 00:03:49.485
- Your presence often, because i trust your instincts.
- 00:03:49.485 --> 00:03:53.289
- No president in my lifetime has been in a position like yours.
- 00:03:53.289 --> 00:03:58.127
- Not since truman in 1945.
- 00:03:58.127 --> 00:04:01.397
- I don't reach out to persuade you, only to encourage you.
- 00:04:01.397 --> 00:04:05.968
- I believe you will hear from heaven.
- 00:04:05.968 --> 00:04:07.837
- And that voice
- 00:04:07.837 --> 00:04:09.072
- Is far more important than mine or anyone else's.
- 00:04:09.072 --> 00:04:12.775
- You sent me to israel to be your eyes and ears and voice
- 00:04:12.775 --> 00:04:16.713
- To make sure our flag flies above our embassy.
- 00:04:16.713 --> 00:04:20.483
- My job is to be the last one to leave.
- 00:04:20.483 --> 00:04:23.486
- I will not abandon this post.
- 00:04:23.486 --> 00:04:25.888
- Our flag will not come down.
- 00:04:25.888 --> 00:04:28.591
- You did not seek this moment.
- 00:04:28.591 --> 00:04:30.526
- This moment sought you.
- 00:04:30.526 --> 00:04:32.962
- It is my honor to serve you.
- 00:04:32.962 --> 00:04:35.431
- Mike huckabee.
- 00:04:35.431 --> 00:04:37.066
- Amen.
- 00:04:37.066 --> 00:04:38.067
- And i happen to agree with every single word.
- 00:04:38.067 --> 00:04:41.137
- I believe that we are living in a prophetic moment,
- 00:04:41.137 --> 00:04:44.340
- That there is an open door here to deal a decisive blow to evil
- 00:04:44.340 --> 00:04:49.245
- And to make israel, america, and the world safer.
- 00:04:49.245 --> 00:04:52.949
- Those are the stakes.
- 00:04:52.949 --> 00:04:54.851
- Folks, please keep president trump and israeli prime
- 00:04:54.851 --> 00:04:57.553
- Minister benjamin netanyahu in your prayers as they make
- 00:04:57.553 --> 00:05:00.690
- World changing decisions that will affect all of us.
- 00:05:00.690 --> 00:05:05.128
- Coming up, we break it all down.
- 00:05:05.128 --> 00:05:06.562
- What iran's next move might be.
- 00:05:06.562 --> 00:05:08.564
- How israel is preparing to respond,
- 00:05:08.564 --> 00:05:11.100
- And what president trump's america first leadership means,
- 00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:14.270
- Not only for our closest ally, israel,
- 00:05:14.270 --> 00:05:16.606
- But for the entire free world.
- 00:05:16.606 --> 00:05:18.441
- We're heading to israel.
- 00:05:18.441 --> 00:05:19.709
- To talk to a former spokesperson for the israel defense forces
- 00:05:19.709 --> 00:05:23.179
- And to get the inside story next.
- 00:05:23.179 --> 00:05:26.115
- Don't move.
- 00:05:26.115 --> 00:05:29.004
- Don't move.
- 00:05:29.004 --> 00:05:32.523
- And for a state of play update
- 00:05:33.123 --> 00:05:34.958
- On the historic israel iran war, we are joined
- 00:05:34.958 --> 00:05:37.661
- Now by our good friend doron spielman.
- 00:05:37.661 --> 00:05:39.463
- He is a former spokesman for the israel defense forces
- 00:05:39.463 --> 00:05:42.733
- And a new york times bestselling author of the great new book,
- 00:05:42.733 --> 00:05:46.904
- When the stones speak
- 00:05:46.904 --> 00:05:49.006
- The remarkable discovery of the city of david
- 00:05:49.006 --> 00:05:51.675
- And what israel's enemies don't want you to know.
- 00:05:51.675 --> 00:05:55.579
- Doron, great to see you was always my friend.
- 00:05:55.579 --> 00:05:57.748
- And look, right now we have the iranian regime
- 00:05:57.748 --> 00:06:01.552
- On the ropes, teetering on the brink of collapse.
- 00:06:01.552 --> 00:06:05.456
- Do you think this is a point where donald trump
- 00:06:05.456 --> 00:06:08.992
- Could possibly make a call to help israel finish the job?
- 00:06:08.992 --> 00:06:13.464
- Or can israel do this alone and dismantle this nuclear program?
- 00:06:13.464 --> 00:06:18.569
- First of all, erick, it's so good to be with you
- 00:06:18.569 --> 00:06:20.804
- And with your entire audience.
- 00:06:20.804 --> 00:06:22.172
- And thank you for all of the hopes
- 00:06:22.172 --> 00:06:23.540
- And the prayers
- 00:06:23.540 --> 00:06:24.441
- That you and your audience have sent us
- 00:06:24.441 --> 00:06:25.809
- During this incredible time in history.
- 00:06:25.809 --> 00:06:28.011
- I will just say, if we just take one step back,
- 00:06:28.011 --> 00:06:30.914
- The framework for this is the book of esther.
- 00:06:30.914 --> 00:06:33.450
- If we just open up
- 00:06:33.450 --> 00:06:34.351
- The book of esther and read it right now,
- 00:06:34.351 --> 00:06:35.819
- It is literally playing out in front of us.
- 00:06:35.819 --> 00:06:38.088
- And i'll tell you, similar to the book of esther,
- 00:06:38.088 --> 00:06:40.057
- An answer to your question.
- 00:06:40.057 --> 00:06:41.358
- The jewish people were small, tiny people, really.
- 00:06:41.358 --> 00:06:44.928
- And we're carrying out this
- 00:06:44.928 --> 00:06:46.497
- Incredible war against the bastion of evil on our own.
- 00:06:46.497 --> 00:06:50.267
- And to put it in perspective, we're 10 million people.
- 00:06:50.267 --> 00:06:53.403
- Iran is 90 million people.
- 00:06:53.403 --> 00:06:55.606
- We're almost 2000 miles away from them,
- 00:06:55.606 --> 00:06:58.175
- And their country is 60 times the size of israel.
- 00:06:58.175 --> 00:07:02.479
- And israel, as you know, we are giving it our all.
- 00:07:02.479 --> 00:07:05.549
- We've taken out their nuclear sites.
- 00:07:05.549 --> 00:07:08.051
- Two of their nuclear sites have been seriously disabled.
- 00:07:08.051 --> 00:07:10.888
- We've taken out their scientists.
- 00:07:10.888 --> 00:07:12.256
- We've penetrated inside.
- 00:07:12.256 --> 00:07:13.590
- Even today, when the iranians went to the central
- 00:07:13.590 --> 00:07:17.027
- Iranian bank, the one that's funding iranian terror,
- 00:07:17.027 --> 00:07:20.998
- The one that took those billions of dollars
- 00:07:20.998 --> 00:07:23.033
- That was given to them by obama and right away
- 00:07:23.033 --> 00:07:25.702
- Used it to fund hezbollah and their nuclear program.
- 00:07:25.702 --> 00:07:28.972
- When they went today to the cash machine,
- 00:07:28.972 --> 00:07:31.041
- There was a sign that said that it had been infiltrated
- 00:07:31.041 --> 00:07:35.212
- And frozen, and that was done, by unofficial reports,
- 00:07:35.212 --> 00:07:39.616
- By israel and also local,
- 00:07:40.183 --> 00:07:42.653
- Iranian, people that resist that iranian revolution.
- 00:07:42.653 --> 00:07:46.156
- And so israel has done an enormous amount alone.
- 00:07:46.156 --> 00:07:48.959
- However, i will say this.
- 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:50.594
- The boxer is teetering right.
- 00:07:50.594 --> 00:07:52.863
- He's teetering on one leg.
- 00:07:52.863 --> 00:07:54.531
- The question is, who's going to deliver the final punch?
- 00:07:54.531 --> 00:07:56.667
- If it's israel, it'll be a tko.
- 00:07:56.667 --> 00:07:59.002
- We have plans. we can take them out.
- 00:07:59.002 --> 00:08:00.904
- We can do it.
- 00:08:00.904 --> 00:08:01.972
- Only the united states in their awesome, awesome power
- 00:08:01.972 --> 00:08:05.976
- Of really what they have,
- 00:08:05.976 --> 00:08:07.277
- Is able to take this to the next level
- 00:08:07.277 --> 00:08:09.713
- And ultimately able to deliver a knockout punch.
- 00:08:09.713 --> 00:08:12.416
- And that's really the question
- 00:08:12.416 --> 00:08:13.650
- If it's in the interest of the united states.
- 00:08:13.650 --> 00:08:16.153
- Yeah.
- 00:08:16.153 --> 00:08:17.020
- And i think that fordo nuclear facility
- 00:08:17.020 --> 00:08:18.555
- Their own, which is fortified
- 00:08:18.555 --> 00:08:19.623
- Deep underground, obviously the u.s.
- 00:08:19.623 --> 00:08:21.224
- Has those massive bunker buster bombs.
- 00:08:21.224 --> 00:08:24.761
- And you mentioned is it in the interest of the united states,
- 00:08:24.761 --> 00:08:27.431
- I think absolutely, yes.
- 00:08:27.431 --> 00:08:29.533
- Look at that iranian ideology.
- 00:08:29.533 --> 00:08:31.168
- Israel is only the little satan.
- 00:08:31.168 --> 00:08:33.136
- America is the great satan, in their words.
- 00:08:33.136 --> 00:08:35.939
- And the ultimate prize.
- 00:08:35.939 --> 00:08:37.407
- Can you talk
- 00:08:37.407 --> 00:08:38.642
- More about this drone, about how this is really a global threat
- 00:08:38.642 --> 00:08:41.878
- And how israel right now and smashing this evil regime
- 00:08:41.878 --> 00:08:45.415
- Is doing the world a favor?
- 00:08:45.415 --> 00:08:47.584
- Absolutely.
- 00:08:47.584 --> 00:08:48.485
- You know, erick, when iran is creating
- 00:08:48.485 --> 00:08:50.887
- This nuclear program, it's outfitting 9 to 15 warheads.
- 00:08:50.887 --> 00:08:55.626
- Those are not all for israel.
- 00:08:55.626 --> 00:08:57.361
- It's creating ballistic missiles.
- 00:08:57.361 --> 00:08:59.363
- They have ballistic missiles that can reach israel.
- 00:08:59.363 --> 00:09:01.531
- We know that they've already fired hundreds of them at us,
- 00:09:01.531 --> 00:09:04.635
- Including just a few minutes ago that landed in israel.
- 00:09:04.635 --> 00:09:07.471
- However, they're creating long range intercontinental
- 00:09:07.471 --> 00:09:10.974
- Ballistic missiles.
- 00:09:10.974 --> 00:09:12.175
- That's not for israel.
- 00:09:12.175 --> 00:09:13.210
- We're on the same continent
- 00:09:13.210 --> 00:09:14.511
- That is for europe and the united states.
- 00:09:14.511 --> 00:09:17.714
- Iran sees the west as evil
- 00:09:17.714 --> 00:09:21.752
- In the same way we know iran is evil.
- 00:09:21.752 --> 00:09:23.720
- They are like the nazi regime.
- 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:25.555
- They are when they threaten what happened.
- 00:09:25.555 --> 00:09:27.424
- This whole war has been going on, what, for five days? erick?
- 00:09:27.424 --> 00:09:29.893
- Who are they threatening right away?
- 00:09:29.893 --> 00:09:31.662
- American servicemen and servicewomen in the middle east.
- 00:09:31.662 --> 00:09:36.199
- Trust me, if they have an atomic weapon,
- 00:09:36.199 --> 00:09:38.769
- They have a choice where to use it.
- 00:09:38.769 --> 00:09:40.070
- They're going to threaten israel.
- 00:09:40.070 --> 00:09:41.204
- Where would they know?
- 00:09:41.204 --> 00:09:42.039
- We're going to respond immediately
- 00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:43.440
- And we can take down their missiles.
- 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:44.741
- No, they're they are going to threaten american servicemen.
- 00:09:44.741 --> 00:09:48.311
- And so
- 00:09:48.311 --> 00:09:49.579
- President trump is wiser than any president that i've seen.
- 00:09:49.579 --> 00:09:52.949
- He understands
- 00:09:52.949 --> 00:09:53.817
- American interests in the understand
- 00:09:53.817 --> 00:09:55.018
- Something else, as many of your viewers should understand.
- 00:09:55.018 --> 00:09:58.221
- If they don't, iran is not just about iran.
- 00:09:58.221 --> 00:10:01.658
- Iran is about china.
- 00:10:01.658 --> 00:10:03.827
- Iran is about russia.
- 00:10:03.827 --> 00:10:06.063
- Iran is the largest supplier of oil to china.
- 00:10:06.063 --> 00:10:10.801
- Who's helping them create their atomic program?
- 00:10:10.801 --> 00:10:13.103
- It's china and russia. why?
- 00:10:13.103 --> 00:10:14.871
- Because they know if iran is the bomb.
- 00:10:14.871 --> 00:10:17.240
- Can you imagine if iran is the bomb?
- 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:18.942
- What they can do to those gulf states?
- 00:10:18.942 --> 00:10:21.244
- If at any point the us says we want to cut off oil supply
- 00:10:21.244 --> 00:10:24.381
- To russia, china,
- 00:10:24.381 --> 00:10:25.782
- All the all china needs to do is say, hey, iran,
- 00:10:25.782 --> 00:10:28.552
- Wave your nuclear
- 00:10:28.552 --> 00:10:29.920
- Your atomic bomb about what gulf state
- 00:10:29.920 --> 00:10:32.189
- Is going to go against iran.
- 00:10:32.189 --> 00:10:33.523
- It really is a way for domination over that evil axis.
- 00:10:33.523 --> 00:10:37.127
- That's north korea, russia, china and iran to come together.
- 00:10:37.127 --> 00:10:40.230
- And by taking down iran,
- 00:10:40.230 --> 00:10:42.466
- You are taking down the proxy of china and russia
- 00:10:42.466 --> 00:10:46.269
- In the same way that when israel took out
- 00:10:46.269 --> 00:10:48.305
- Hezbollah and syrian airspace, we took down a proxy of iran.
- 00:10:48.305 --> 00:10:53.376
- So we have to look at the big picture here
- 00:10:53.376 --> 00:10:55.178
- And understand that our war, which is being done for very,
- 00:10:55.178 --> 00:10:57.848
- Very specific issues, we don't want to be annihilated.
- 00:10:57.848 --> 00:11:01.451
- We want to prevent their nuclear program.
- 00:11:01.451 --> 00:11:03.553
- We want to prevent their ballistic missile program
- 00:11:03.553 --> 00:11:06.590
- Is doing the world a favor and creating really an opening
- 00:11:06.590 --> 00:11:10.727
- A highway
- 00:11:11.027 --> 00:11:11.962
- For a brave leader to come around and say,
- 00:11:11.962 --> 00:11:13.797
- You know, this is an opportunity to rid the world of an evil,
- 00:11:13.797 --> 00:11:16.633
- To prevent the growth of china and russia throughout the world
- 00:11:16.633 --> 00:11:19.736
- And the threats on the united states.
- 00:11:19.736 --> 00:11:21.238
- There aren't great points all around.
- 00:11:21.238 --> 00:11:23.373
- And hey, you just touched on it there with that
- 00:11:23.373 --> 00:11:25.041
- Great breakdown of why this is america's fight as well.
- 00:11:25.041 --> 00:11:29.379
- And, you know, ambassador huckabee
- 00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:31.281
- Sent president trump a text message,
- 00:11:31.281 --> 00:11:33.183
- Which the white house actually published this morning.
- 00:11:33.183 --> 00:11:35.552
- And he encouraged president trump.
- 00:11:35.552 --> 00:11:37.220
- He essentially said, you are the man for the moment,
- 00:11:37.220 --> 00:11:41.158
- As you said,
- 00:11:41.158 --> 00:11:41.825
- There's a golden opportunity
- 00:11:41.825 --> 00:11:43.193
- Right now to, once and for all, eliminate
- 00:11:43.193 --> 00:11:46.029
- This existential threat posed by the iranian regime, their own.
- 00:11:46.029 --> 00:11:49.332
- You know very well they've caused murder,
- 00:11:49.332 --> 00:11:51.134
- Mayhem and havoc for 46 years across the region.
- 00:11:51.134 --> 00:11:55.539
- And mentioning that nuclear factor, they would also,
- 00:11:55.539 --> 00:11:58.241
- The iranian regime,
- 00:11:58.241 --> 00:11:59.142
- Provide their proxies, like the houthis,
- 00:11:59.142 --> 00:12:00.811
- Like hezbollah, with a nuclear umbrella nightmare scenario.
- 00:12:00.811 --> 00:12:04.381
- Had about a minute left before the break.
- 00:12:04.381 --> 00:12:05.816
- Then we will bring you right back.
- 00:12:05.816 --> 00:12:08.051
- When the dust settles,
- 00:12:08.051 --> 00:12:09.820
- Could we see a new middle east emerge out of this?
- 00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:13.356
- Well, erick, i have to tell you,
- 00:12:13.990 --> 00:12:15.625
- I think that it's going to depend on what direction
- 00:12:15.625 --> 00:12:19.729
- Israel and the rest of the world takes us.
- 00:12:19.729 --> 00:12:22.299
- From our perspective, we want to eliminate the nuclear
- 00:12:22.299 --> 00:12:24.501
- Program, eliminate the ballistic missile program.
- 00:12:24.501 --> 00:12:26.803
- But there is an awesome, awesome opportunity.
- 00:12:26.803 --> 00:12:30.740
- And i think that that is actually,
- 00:12:30.740 --> 00:12:32.409
- When you mention this, what ambassador
- 00:12:32.409 --> 00:12:33.777
- Huckabee wrote in that message that god he talked about
- 00:12:33.777 --> 00:12:36.980
- The one, the one being god chose.
- 00:12:36.980 --> 00:12:39.916
- President trump saved his life for this moment.
- 00:12:39.916 --> 00:12:42.619
- That's not just to become, perhaps,
- 00:12:42.619 --> 00:12:46.189
- You know, a president of the united states
- 00:12:46.189 --> 00:12:48.024
- For eight years, but to really go down in history
- 00:12:48.024 --> 00:12:50.360
- And to change the face of the entire middle east,
- 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:52.896
- We are looking at iran.
- 00:12:52.896 --> 00:12:54.164
- Iran is a beautiful, beautiful, antiquity based people.
- 00:12:54.164 --> 00:12:58.702
- They are old, like the ancient jews.
- 00:12:58.702 --> 00:13:00.604
- The israelites, and like the chinese,
- 00:13:00.604 --> 00:13:02.572
- They have an incredible culture.
- 00:13:02.572 --> 00:13:03.840
- And if we think before the when the shah was still in power
- 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.911
- And before
- 00:13:07.911 --> 00:13:09.079
- All the ai tools took over, they were western leaning.
- 00:13:09.079 --> 00:13:11.414
- They spoke english.
- 00:13:11.414 --> 00:13:12.415
- They they really praised democracy.
- 00:13:12.415 --> 00:13:14.751
- This is an opportunity to show you know what evil
- 00:13:14.751 --> 00:13:18.288
- Can be fought.
- 00:13:18.622 --> 00:13:20.123
- Evil doesn't have to be contained.
- 00:13:20.123 --> 00:13:22.092
- It's this whole idea of containment.
- 00:13:22.092 --> 00:13:24.094
- And look, i take hope from this again.
- 00:13:24.094 --> 00:13:25.962
- The president present
- 00:13:25.962 --> 00:13:27.063
- The united states is going to do what he wants to do.
- 00:13:27.063 --> 00:13:28.298
- But when he was at the g7 summit and he flew away back to
- 00:13:28.298 --> 00:13:32.636
- The united states, all these leaders
- 00:13:32.636 --> 00:13:34.271
- Like macron and all these other leaders
- 00:13:34.271 --> 00:13:35.772
- Were trying to say, yeah, he's going to broker a ceasefire.
- 00:13:35.772 --> 00:13:38.241
- And i love this on the plane.
- 00:13:38.241 --> 00:13:40.477
- President trump says that's fake news.
- 00:13:40.477 --> 00:13:43.580
- We don't need the cease fire.
- 00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:44.881
- We can go for more than a cease fire.
- 00:13:44.881 --> 00:13:46.883
- Iran has to give up.
- 00:13:46.883 --> 00:13:48.351
- That is the type of philosophy that can change,
- 00:13:48.351 --> 00:13:50.520
- Not only the middle east can change the world. amen.
- 00:13:50.520 --> 00:13:52.789
- This is an historic moment, no doubt.
- 00:13:52.789 --> 00:13:54.691
- We're going to talk more about history
- 00:13:54.691 --> 00:13:55.825
- After the break with their own spielman
- 00:13:55.825 --> 00:13:57.694
- The history of jerusalem and why it matters today.
- 00:13:57.694 --> 00:14:00.931
- You will not want to miss this with the new york times
- 00:14:00.931 --> 00:14:02.933
- Bestselling author of when the stones speak.
- 00:14:02.933 --> 00:14:05.602
- Doron spielman, stick around.
- 00:14:05.602 --> 00:14:11.001
- Doron spielman, stick around.
- 00:14:11.001 --> 00:14:14.278
- Welcome back to stakelbeck
- 00:14:14.845 --> 00:14:15.947
- Tonight.
- 00:14:15.947 --> 00:14:16.847
- We're talking to darren spielman, former
- 00:14:16.847 --> 00:14:17.648
- International spokesman
- 00:14:17.648 --> 00:14:18.849
- For the israel defense forces and author of the runaway
- 00:14:18.849 --> 00:14:21.652
- New york times bestselling book, when the stones speak to rome.
- 00:14:21.652 --> 00:14:25.189
- With everything unfolding right now,
- 00:14:25.189 --> 00:14:26.891
- I think the book is more timely than ever.
- 00:14:26.891 --> 00:14:30.528
- As you mentioned earlier, the jewish
- 00:14:30.528 --> 00:14:32.263
- People are in the land they were over 3000 years ago.
- 00:14:32.263 --> 00:14:35.700
- They're back never to be uprooted again.
- 00:14:35.700 --> 00:14:38.569
- Tell us a bit more about the book
- 00:14:38.569 --> 00:14:40.972
- And its relevance for the moment.
- 00:14:40.972 --> 00:14:42.540
- We're in right now.
- 00:14:42.540 --> 00:14:44.675
- Actually, you know, you're brilliant, erick,
- 00:14:44.675 --> 00:14:46.610
- How you really understand the convergence of these things,
- 00:14:46.610 --> 00:14:48.913
- Which makes you and your viewership so unique
- 00:14:48.913 --> 00:14:52.049
- Because we understand biblical events.
- 00:14:52.049 --> 00:14:54.118
- The jewish people are the word indigenous means nothing.
- 00:14:54.118 --> 00:14:57.788
- If it doesn't mean that
- 00:14:57.788 --> 00:14:58.889
- The jewish people are so deeply rooted to this land.
- 00:14:58.889 --> 00:15:01.692
- We were a part of this land for more than a thousand years.
- 00:15:01.692 --> 00:15:04.562
- We were exiled.
- 00:15:04.562 --> 00:15:05.496
- And when we came back to this land.
- 00:15:05.496 --> 00:15:07.298
- Ironically, only
- 00:15:07.298 --> 00:15:08.532
- When we came back to this land did this kind of counterculture
- 00:15:08.532 --> 00:15:12.203
- Begin to develop first in the arab world,
- 00:15:12.203 --> 00:15:14.638
- Denying jewish history,
- 00:15:14.638 --> 00:15:16.574
- By extension, christian history in the holy land.
- 00:15:16.574 --> 00:15:18.943
- And then this spread to campuses, as we just saw
- 00:15:18.943 --> 00:15:21.812
- In the united states and around the world,
- 00:15:21.812 --> 00:15:23.381
- Calling jews colonizers.
- 00:15:23.381 --> 00:15:24.815
- Now, essentially, what does this mean?
- 00:15:24.815 --> 00:15:26.650
- It means you don't have a rooted connection to your land.
- 00:15:26.650 --> 00:15:29.420
- What the book shows is that if you dig beneath the ground,
- 00:15:29.420 --> 00:15:33.190
- You can hear the stones speak.
- 00:15:33.190 --> 00:15:34.759
- Which is why i called this when the stones speak,
- 00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:37.128
- Because you actually unearth the discoveries
- 00:15:37.128 --> 00:15:39.363
- That are from the bible that prove that connection
- 00:15:39.363 --> 00:15:42.066
- I saw years ago, erick, how nations, how hamas,
- 00:15:42.066 --> 00:15:46.504
- How hezbollah, the muslim brotherhood rose up
- 00:15:46.504 --> 00:15:49.440
- To try to stop these discovery from coming to light.
- 00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.877
- And that's why i wrote the book.
- 00:15:52.877 --> 00:15:54.011
- And it's so relevant now
- 00:15:54.011 --> 00:15:55.212
- Because you look what's happening today.
- 00:15:55.212 --> 00:15:57.148
- What does it mean when i ground says they want to annihilate
- 00:15:57.148 --> 00:16:00.818
- The jewish people?
- 00:16:00.818 --> 00:16:01.819
- They're saying, you have no right to be here.
- 00:16:01.819 --> 00:16:03.487
- However, we know,
- 00:16:03.487 --> 00:16:04.355
- And this is what we see
- 00:16:04.355 --> 00:16:05.156
- From the stones,
- 00:16:05.156 --> 00:16:06.257
- That there is no people that have
- 00:16:06.257 --> 00:16:07.691
- A greater purpose in their land.
- 00:16:07.691 --> 00:16:08.926
- And this really ties in.
- 00:16:08.926 --> 00:16:10.428
- Erick, i think there's something key about this war.
- 00:16:10.428 --> 00:16:12.463
- People right now are comparing this war
- 00:16:12.463 --> 00:16:15.032
- With russia's war in ukraine.
- 00:16:15.032 --> 00:16:16.500
- And they're saying, how is it possible
- 00:16:16.500 --> 00:16:18.202
- That what five, five days have gone by
- 00:16:18.202 --> 00:16:21.305
- And all of a sudden israel has control over the skies, over
- 00:16:21.305 --> 00:16:25.242
- Iran, russia,
- 00:16:25.242 --> 00:16:26.777
- Million possible russians have been killed
- 00:16:26.777 --> 00:16:28.946
- And they can't control the skies over ukraine.
- 00:16:28.946 --> 00:16:31.382
- How's that possible?
- 00:16:31.382 --> 00:16:32.583
- And i think actually, erick, it boils down to this point
- 00:16:32.583 --> 00:16:35.119
- When we look at the roots and the bible coming alive
- 00:16:35.119 --> 00:16:37.922
- In the land of israel,
- 00:16:37.922 --> 00:16:39.056
- We realize the jewish people have the divine purpose.
- 00:16:39.056 --> 00:16:42.326
- And when you have a divine purpose,
- 00:16:42.326 --> 00:16:43.727
- Not only is god with you,
- 00:16:43.727 --> 00:16:45.296
- But every one of those fighter pilots
- 00:16:45.296 --> 00:16:46.997
- Who's flying alone in his plane
- 00:16:46.997 --> 00:16:48.632
- Or her plane right now while we're talking,
- 00:16:48.632 --> 00:16:50.801
- Or those intelligence planners or those undercover
- 00:16:50.801 --> 00:16:53.604
- Mossad people,
- 00:16:53.604 --> 00:16:54.705
- Do you know why they're willing to give everything?
- 00:16:54.705 --> 00:16:56.474
- Because they know that we have no home anywhere
- 00:16:56.474 --> 00:16:59.143
- Else, and god wants us to be there.
- 00:16:59.143 --> 00:17:00.945
- That is why we are winning this war.
- 00:17:00.945 --> 00:17:03.380
- And russia can't win their war where they're trying
- 00:17:03.380 --> 00:17:06.450
- To be imperialist and take over land that's not theirs.
- 00:17:06.450 --> 00:17:09.120
- It truly is
- 00:17:09.120 --> 00:17:10.788
- Hashem, the divine
- 00:17:11.222 --> 00:17:12.523
- God, reorganizing the world into its proper order.
- 00:17:12.523 --> 00:17:16.694
- And that is why we're going to win this war,
- 00:17:16.694 --> 00:17:19.063
- Because we know that this is our land.
- 00:17:19.063 --> 00:17:20.931
- We will never fall again.
- 00:17:20.931 --> 00:17:22.333
- We spent 2000 years hiding in order to survive.
- 00:17:22.333 --> 00:17:25.035
- Now we have to fight to survive.
- 00:17:25.035 --> 00:17:26.604
- Erick, we're going to fight. we're never going to hide again.
- 00:17:26.604 --> 00:17:29.507
- Amen. so well, said darren.
- 00:17:29.507 --> 00:17:31.408
- This seems like a
- 00:17:31.408 --> 00:17:32.443
- Prophetic moment in that israel is emerging now,
- 00:17:32.443 --> 00:17:35.312
- I believe not just as the lone regional superpower.
- 00:17:35.312 --> 00:17:37.982
- Without a doubt.
- 00:17:37.982 --> 00:17:38.949
- I think israel comes out of this
- 00:17:38.949 --> 00:17:40.317
- When the dust settles as a global power.
- 00:17:40.317 --> 00:17:42.586
- I think the world, whether it wants to admit it
- 00:17:42.586 --> 00:17:44.555
- Or not, is in awe of israel right
- 00:17:44.555 --> 00:17:46.690
- Now, not only with this iran operation.
- 00:17:46.690 --> 00:17:48.792
- Obviously, the hezbollah operation, gaza, all of it.
- 00:17:48.792 --> 00:17:52.062
- Israel at a low point on october 7th, 2023,
- 00:17:52.062 --> 00:17:55.933
- But now growing stronger, more united than ever before.
- 00:17:55.933 --> 00:17:59.770
- And it seems to me that israel's best days lie ahead.
- 00:17:59.770 --> 00:18:04.175
- I think so, erick.
- 00:18:04.608 --> 00:18:05.676
- And i think that the opportunity here,
- 00:18:05.676 --> 00:18:08.112
- Like you mentioned, of reshaping the middle east,
- 00:18:08.112 --> 00:18:10.748
- That really is, you know, were the tip of the spear.
- 00:18:10.748 --> 00:18:13.083
- We went out this flew out there alone
- 00:18:13.083 --> 00:18:15.152
- With a lot of help,
- 00:18:15.152 --> 00:18:16.120
- Of course, from the united states, both
- 00:18:16.120 --> 00:18:17.588
- In terms of intelligence sharing and weaponry,
- 00:18:17.588 --> 00:18:20.224
- But those who will follow our path
- 00:18:20.224 --> 00:18:22.893
- And really bring this to the next level
- 00:18:22.893 --> 00:18:24.762
- And turn what's happening in iran today,
- 00:18:24.762 --> 00:18:27.831
- Which for our goals is based on the nuclear program
- 00:18:27.831 --> 00:18:30.334
- And their ballistic missiles,
- 00:18:30.334 --> 00:18:31.402
- But creating a new hope for the iranian people.
- 00:18:31.402 --> 00:18:34.672
- Can we imagine what that would be
- 00:18:34.672 --> 00:18:36.173
- If we had 90 million people in the middle east
- 00:18:36.173 --> 00:18:40.377
- That understood the importance of the west
- 00:18:40.377 --> 00:18:42.880
- And were freed from slavery by the ayatollahs?
- 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:46.016
- And this really is where i feel there are two chosen countries
- 00:18:46.016 --> 00:18:48.919
- In the world,
- 00:18:48.919 --> 00:18:49.620
- The united states and israel,
- 00:18:49.620 --> 00:18:50.721
- Which is the closeness of our bond,
- 00:18:50.721 --> 00:18:52.923
- Which is what i talk about in this book.
- 00:18:52.923 --> 00:18:54.525
- When the sun speak
- 00:18:54.525 --> 00:18:55.659
- That closes the bond means we are called to duty,
- 00:18:55.659 --> 00:18:58.195
- And when we're called to duty,
- 00:18:58.195 --> 00:18:59.663
- The benefit from this and the light that can shine is
- 00:18:59.663 --> 00:19:03.367
- Beyond anything that we can imagine.
- 00:19:03.367 --> 00:19:04.735
- Imagine a world not only without a bad iran,
- 00:19:04.735 --> 00:19:07.438
- But with a positive iran, one that faces
- 00:19:07.438 --> 00:19:10.441
- Towards the united states and not towards russia and china.
- 00:19:10.441 --> 00:19:13.410
- And that is actually within our grip.
- 00:19:13.410 --> 00:19:15.312
- That's within our hands.
- 00:19:15.312 --> 00:19:16.313
- In the next few days and weeks,
- 00:19:16.313 --> 00:19:17.781
- We'll see how the courage plays out,
- 00:19:17.781 --> 00:19:19.683
- And we'll see how this matches
- 00:19:19.683 --> 00:19:21.085
- The divine will, which i think it will.
- 00:19:21.085 --> 00:19:22.820
- Yeah.
- 00:19:22.820 --> 00:19:23.387
- And the iranian people,
- 00:19:23.387 --> 00:19:24.355
- The main victims of this tyrannical regime.
- 00:19:24.355 --> 00:19:26.890
- And look, you mentioned earlier, drone
- 00:19:26.890 --> 00:19:29.059
- Iran is a bible land that was ancient persia.
- 00:19:29.059 --> 00:19:32.162
- Look, darius, cyrus, esther, mordecai from our bible
- 00:19:32.162 --> 00:19:35.966
- That unfolded in iran, modern day iran was ancient persia.
- 00:19:35.966 --> 00:19:39.737
- I don't think god has done with that nation.
- 00:19:39.737 --> 00:19:41.972
- I think good things lie ahead, potentially
- 00:19:41.972 --> 00:19:43.674
- For the iranian people as well,
- 00:19:43.674 --> 00:19:45.309
- After the conflict winds down here.
- 00:19:45.309 --> 00:19:47.711
- Speaking of which, about a minute left.
- 00:19:47.711 --> 00:19:49.680
- Tough to say. of course. i know as we look ahead.
- 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.182
- But it seems that israel has accomplished
- 00:19:52.182 --> 00:19:54.418
- A good amount of its goals so far in this conflict with iran.
- 00:19:54.418 --> 00:19:58.155
- And all that's left, i believe, i guess, would be completely
- 00:19:58.155 --> 00:20:02.293
- Dismantling the nuclear program and making a further dent
- 00:20:02.293 --> 00:20:05.763
- In the ballistic missile stockpiles. you believe?
- 00:20:05.763 --> 00:20:08.599
- That's right.
- 00:20:08.966 --> 00:20:10.134
- I think if we have another few weeks at this rate, erick,
- 00:20:10.134 --> 00:20:12.636
- Where we are have the both the weaponry
- 00:20:12.636 --> 00:20:14.672
- And the skies and perhaps another partner
- 00:20:14.672 --> 00:20:17.441
- That's able to help us in this area,
- 00:20:17.441 --> 00:20:19.009
- That will be decisive.
- 00:20:19.009 --> 00:20:20.244
- And i think the president knows and certainly israel knows,
- 00:20:20.244 --> 00:20:22.813
- A decisive victory now
- 00:20:22.813 --> 00:20:26.550
- Prevents a very large war later.
- 00:20:26.550 --> 00:20:29.653
- And that is what has changed here.
- 00:20:29.653 --> 00:20:31.021
- When you contain cancer, it grows.
- 00:20:31.021 --> 00:20:34.124
- But when you go at it early, you can prevent something
- 00:20:34.124 --> 00:20:36.794
- From happening.
- 00:20:36.794 --> 00:20:37.828
- And that is what the next few weeks are about.
- 00:20:37.828 --> 00:20:39.530
- It is about taking out
- 00:20:39.530 --> 00:20:40.764
- All their main military leadership,
- 00:20:40.764 --> 00:20:42.733
- All of their launchers, their ballistic
- 00:20:42.733 --> 00:20:44.702
- Missile programs, and yes, even fordo
- 00:20:44.702 --> 00:20:46.904
- And the idf just released a few minutes ago
- 00:20:46.904 --> 00:20:49.306
- That it actually has a plan for fordo.
- 00:20:49.306 --> 00:20:51.975
- We hope that of the partners will come in.
- 00:20:51.975 --> 00:20:53.877
- Well, we're not going to leave iran and iran in airspace
- 00:20:53.877 --> 00:20:56.980
- And this opportunity without making sure
- 00:20:56.980 --> 00:20:59.116
- That that site is completely, completely
- 00:20:59.116 --> 00:21:01.185
- Taken out of commission, whatever it takes.
- 00:21:01.185 --> 00:21:03.087
- Well, thank you so much for joining us, tyrone.
- 00:21:03.087 --> 00:21:04.722

- Between israel and iran.
- 00:21:19.503 --> 00:21:20.904
- And what should america do?
- 00:21:20.904 --> 00:21:22.439
- How does iran threaten
- 00:21:22.439 --> 00:21:23.974
- The united states and why should you care?
- 00:21:23.974 --> 00:21:26.577

- Throughout the week with a real focus, of course,
- 00:22:23.567 --> 00:22:25.936
- On the world's most chaotic and strategic and prophetic region,
- 00:22:25.936 --> 00:22:29.840
- The middle east,
- 00:22:29.840 --> 00:22:30.974
- All from a biblical perspective and how it affects you.
- 00:22:30.974 --> 00:22:33.644
- Speaking of a biblical perspective,
- 00:22:33.644 --> 00:22:35.479
- When i look out at the landscape right now, i'm
- 00:22:35.479 --> 00:22:38.582
- Reminded of the book of isaiah chapter 54 verse 17.
- 00:22:38.582 --> 00:22:42.286
- God almighty says to israel, no weapon formed against
- 00:22:42.286 --> 00:22:45.589
- You shall prosper.
- 00:22:45.589 --> 00:22:46.857
- And every tongue
- 00:22:46.857 --> 00:22:47.991
- Which rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn.
- 00:22:47.991 --> 00:22:52.095
- Amen.
- 00:22:52.095 --> 00:22:53.263
- The iranian regime, i believe, whether it's now or later,
- 00:22:53.263 --> 00:22:56.099
- Is heading into the ash heap of history
- 00:22:56.099 --> 00:22:58.268
- Along with its proxies like hamas and hezbollah.
- 00:22:58.268 --> 00:23:01.405
- The god of israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.
- 00:23:01.405 --> 00:23:05.075
- He's going ahead of the idf on the battlefield,
- 00:23:05.075 --> 00:23:08.045
- And we truly are on the verge of a new middle east.
- 00:23:08.045 --> 00:23:11.682
- God is at work.
- 00:23:11.682 --> 00:23:13.350
