From wars and rumors of war abroad, to the rise of anti-Christian, "woke" ideology here at home, it’s clear that Americans are living in perilous and unprecedented times. Some would even say that we’re witnessing biblical prophecy unfold in real time. Stakelbeck Tonight will make sense of these stunning developments through a bold and biblical lens.

Stakelbeck Tonight | Erick Stakelbeck: January 16, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | January 16, 2025
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:03.393 --> 00:00:04.894
- I'm erick stakelbeck.
- 00:00:04.894 --> 00:00:06.062
- And after some 470 days in brutal captivity,
- 00:00:06.062 --> 00:00:11.668
- Dozens of hostages
- 00:00:11.668 --> 00:00:12.869
- Held by hamas in gaza are finally set to be freed.
- 00:00:12.869 --> 00:00:17.340
- Phase one of the hostage ceasefire deal
- 00:00:17.340 --> 00:00:20.176
- Between israel and hamas is scheduled to go into effect
- 00:00:20.176 --> 00:00:23.913
- This coming sunday, january 19th.
- 00:00:23.913 --> 00:00:26.816
- Barring any last minute shenanigans from hamas,
- 00:00:26.816 --> 00:00:30.720
- Which is not out of the question because this is, after all,
- 00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:34.390
- A bloodthirsty, genocidal terror group.
- 00:00:34.390 --> 00:00:38.194
- But here are the basic parameters of the deal,
- 00:00:38.194 --> 00:00:41.297
- Which was negotiated in qatar by an israeli delegation,
- 00:00:41.297 --> 00:00:45.068
- Along with officials
- 00:00:45.068 --> 00:00:46.202
- From both the biden and incoming trump administrations.
- 00:00:46.202 --> 00:00:50.240
- 33 hostages are scheduled to be released on january 19th.
- 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:55.245
- Those released will include infants, women, children
- 00:00:55.245 --> 00:00:59.649
- And men over the age of 50 plus two american citizens.
- 00:00:59.649 --> 00:01:05.221
- Now, only 23 of those 33 hostages are actually alive.
- 00:01:05.221 --> 00:01:10.426
- But hamas will hand over the remains of the other ten.
- 00:01:10.426 --> 00:01:14.264
- In the meantime, a six week cease fire will go into effect
- 00:01:14.264 --> 00:01:18.968
- In which humanitarian aid into gaza will increase.
- 00:01:18.968 --> 00:01:23.039
- And if all goes smoothly, negotiations will commence
- 00:01:23.039 --> 00:01:27.010
- On phase
- 00:01:27.010 --> 00:01:28.211
- Two of the deal, which would see the remaining 63 hostages,
- 00:01:28.211 --> 00:01:32.182
- Some alive and some dead, eventually released as well.
- 00:01:32.182 --> 00:01:36.719
- Remember, they've been held captive in hellish conditions
- 00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.857
- For over 15 months, ever since they were kidnaped
- 00:01:40.857 --> 00:01:44.460
- By hamas during the october 7th massacre.
- 00:01:44.460 --> 00:01:47.897
- Now, the final requirement in phase one of this deal
- 00:01:47.897 --> 00:01:51.434
- Is very controversial.
- 00:01:51.434 --> 00:01:53.269
- In exchange for the hostages, israel will release hundreds
- 00:01:53.269 --> 00:01:57.941
- Of palestinian terrorists from israeli prisons.
- 00:01:57.941 --> 00:02:02.078
- The big concern, understandably, is that they will pick up
- 00:02:02.078 --> 00:02:05.648
- Where they left off and jump right back into terrorism.
- 00:02:05.648 --> 00:02:09.652
- And it's a very valid concern.
- 00:02:09.652 --> 00:02:12.188
- Back in 2011,
- 00:02:12.188 --> 00:02:13.489
- None other than yahya sinwar was released in such an exchange
- 00:02:13.489 --> 00:02:17.927
- And he went on to mastermind the october 7th massacre.
- 00:02:17.927 --> 00:02:22.232
- But this time around,
- 00:02:22.232 --> 00:02:23.700
- There are some very important differences.
- 00:02:23.700 --> 00:02:26.636
- Number one, hamas has been absolutely smashed
- 00:02:26.636 --> 00:02:31.107
- By the israel defense forces and is a shell of its former self.
- 00:02:31.107 --> 00:02:36.079
- Practically its entire leadership,
- 00:02:36.079 --> 00:02:38.681
- Including yahya sinwar, has been eliminated,
- 00:02:38.681 --> 00:02:42.385
- As have the majority of its rockets.
- 00:02:42.385 --> 00:02:45.121
- Number two, israel now has excellent intelligence
- 00:02:45.121 --> 00:02:48.858
- Inside gaza, not to mention in judea and samaria.
- 00:02:48.858 --> 00:02:53.296
- And you can rest assured that any released terrorist
- 00:02:53.296 --> 00:02:56.866
- Who attempts to attack israel will not be long for this world.
- 00:02:56.866 --> 00:03:01.170
- Number three, and this is important,
- 00:03:01.170 --> 00:03:03.539
- This hostage ceasefire deal does not mean that the war is over.
- 00:03:03.539 --> 00:03:08.444
- It is not a permanent end to the fighting.
- 00:03:08.444 --> 00:03:11.848
- It's a pause
- 00:03:11.848 --> 00:03:13.416
- So that hostages can be released from hell on earth.
- 00:03:13.416 --> 00:03:17.587
- Israel remains fully committed to destroying hamas
- 00:03:17.587 --> 00:03:21.724
- And will maintain a security zone and buffer
- 00:03:21.724 --> 00:03:25.395
- Inside gaza, likely for years to come.
- 00:03:25.395 --> 00:03:29.132
- Which brings us to number four, the trump effect.
- 00:03:29.132 --> 00:03:33.836
- Both president trump and israeli prime minister benjamin
- 00:03:33.836 --> 00:03:37.106
- Netanyahu are fully committed to ensuring
- 00:03:37.106 --> 00:03:40.777
- That hamas never takes power in gaza ever again.
- 00:03:40.777 --> 00:03:45.214
- They are on the same page on this, and i believe a big reason
- 00:03:45.214 --> 00:03:48.951
- That bibi agreed to this deal is because he trusts
- 00:03:48.951 --> 00:03:52.755
- President trump. folks, think about this.
- 00:03:52.755 --> 00:03:55.358
- Hamas is finally agreeing to a deal after months
- 00:03:55.358 --> 00:03:58.928
- And months of defying the biden administration.
- 00:03:58.928 --> 00:04:02.532
- Why try this
- 00:04:02.532 --> 00:04:06.402
- All hell break out.
- 00:04:06.402 --> 00:04:07.970
- If those hostages aren't. back?
- 00:04:07.970 --> 00:04:09.972
- I don't want to hurt your negotiation.
- 00:04:09.972 --> 00:04:12.608
- If they're not back, by the time i get into office,
- 00:04:12.608 --> 00:04:15.278
- All hell will break out in the middle east.
- 00:04:15.278 --> 00:04:20.249
- It's called peace
- 00:04:20.249 --> 00:04:22.218
- Through strength and it works.
- 00:04:22.218 --> 00:04:25.054
- Hamas was not eager to find out what trump had in mind,
- 00:04:25.054 --> 00:04:28.758
- And then they
- 00:04:28.758 --> 00:04:29.826
- All of a sudden became much more agreeable to a deal.
- 00:04:29.826 --> 00:04:33.629
- Imagine that the trump effect will be in full effect in
- 00:04:33.629 --> 00:04:37.633
- Just four days when donald trump is inaugurated once again.
- 00:04:37.633 --> 00:04:41.337
- I will be in washington, d.c.
- 00:04:41.337 --> 00:04:43.239
- Next monday, january 20th,
- 00:04:43.239 --> 00:04:45.074
- Covering the inauguration here on stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:04:45.074 --> 00:04:48.010
- So you won't want to miss that and you also won't want to miss
- 00:04:48.010 --> 00:04:52.014
- David harris jr.
- 00:04:52.014 --> 00:04:53.583
- He's joining us next to break down this israel hamas deal
- 00:04:53.583 --> 00:04:57.019
- And why president trump's cabinet picks
- 00:04:57.019 --> 00:04:59.756
- Could be game changers for our country and the world.
- 00:04:59.756 --> 00:05:03.960
- And it all starts now.
- 00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:22.745
- Outwitted and outclassed.
- 00:05:23.312 --> 00:05:25.715
- Those are two words i've been running
- 00:05:25.715 --> 00:05:27.750
- Through my mind as i've watched
- 00:05:27.750 --> 00:05:29.552
- The confirmation hearings for president trump's nominees
- 00:05:29.552 --> 00:05:32.455
- This week,
- 00:05:32.455 --> 00:05:33.623
- Whether it was pete hegseth, trump's pick for secretary
- 00:05:33.623 --> 00:05:36.159
- Of defense, or pam bondi, his choice for attorney general,
- 00:05:36.159 --> 00:05:40.163
- The liberal senators attempting to play interrogator
- 00:05:40.163 --> 00:05:43.766
- Have been exposed and embarrassed.
- 00:05:43.766 --> 00:05:46.536
- Here's one example.
- 00:05:46.536 --> 00:05:49.071
- Do you have any evidence
- 00:05:49.071 --> 00:05:50.673
- Of election fraud or irregularities
- 00:05:50.673 --> 00:05:53.910
- In the 2020 election?
- 00:05:53.910 --> 00:05:55.745
- So first, senator.
- 00:05:55.745 --> 00:05:57.046
- Yes or no? it's a yes or no question.
- 00:05:57.046 --> 00:05:58.381
- First, senator, do you have evidence, yes or no?
- 00:05:58.381 --> 00:06:00.516
- First, senator,
- 00:06:00.516 --> 00:06:01.584
- When we met, yes, you pointed your finger at me
- 00:06:01.584 --> 00:06:03.553
- And you did not seem to be familiar with my question.
- 00:06:03.553 --> 00:06:06.823
- I'm not going to be bullied.
- 00:06:06.823 --> 00:06:08.357
- The 14th amendment.
- 00:06:08.357 --> 00:06:09.392
- I'm here to answer your questions.
- 00:06:09.392 --> 00:06:11.327
- I'm not here to do your homework and study for you.
- 00:06:11.327 --> 00:06:14.430
- That's pretty bold.
- 00:06:14.430 --> 00:06:15.631
- And so is our next guest.
- 00:06:15.631 --> 00:06:18.000
- David harris junior is host of the pulse on newsmax
- 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.870
- Tv and the davis harris junior show podcast.
- 00:06:20.870 --> 00:06:24.407
- David, always great to see you.
- 00:06:24.407 --> 00:06:26.275
- Hey, i think
- 00:06:26.275 --> 00:06:27.376
- Some big takeaways here in watching these hearings.
- 00:06:27.376 --> 00:06:29.979
- Number one,
- 00:06:29.979 --> 00:06:31.047
- The left really hasn't learned anything
- 00:06:31.047 --> 00:06:33.683
- From their resounding loss in november.
- 00:06:33.683 --> 00:06:36.152
- And david.
- 00:06:36.152 --> 00:06:37.119
- Number two, it seems that president trump
- 00:06:37.119 --> 00:06:38.554
- Has made some really solid picks here.
- 00:06:38.554 --> 00:06:41.023
- How do you see it?
- 00:06:41.023 --> 00:06:42.758
- Oh, he's absolutely made solid picks.
- 00:06:42.758 --> 00:06:44.660
- What our country needs is an absolute reformation.
- 00:06:44.660 --> 00:06:48.030
- We need to get rid of all of the individuals
- 00:06:48.030 --> 00:06:50.132
- That went along with all the woke
- 00:06:50.132 --> 00:06:51.367
- Ideologies that went along with the lie
- 00:06:51.367 --> 00:06:53.636
- That joe biden was sharp as a tack.
- 00:06:53.636 --> 00:06:55.404
- And they told us that for three and a half years.
- 00:06:55.404 --> 00:06:57.373
- So many people lied to us and so many different branches,
- 00:06:57.373 --> 00:07:01.143
- Divisions, departments of the government
- 00:07:01.143 --> 00:07:02.979
- That it needs an overhaul.
- 00:07:02.979 --> 00:07:04.547
- And what president trump has done by appointing
- 00:07:04.547 --> 00:07:07.283
- People like pete head heck, seth,
- 00:07:07.283 --> 00:07:09.619
- Like pam bondi, like kash patel, like marco rubio,
- 00:07:09.619 --> 00:07:13.623
- These are individuals
- 00:07:13.623 --> 00:07:14.824
- That are really going to come in and shake up the status quo.
- 00:07:14.824 --> 00:07:17.693
- It's not politics as usual, and that's not what we want,
- 00:07:17.693 --> 00:07:20.830
- Nor what the american people deserve.
- 00:07:20.830 --> 00:07:22.832
- We deserve a people that are going to actually represent us.
- 00:07:22.832 --> 00:07:25.635
- They're not going to lie to us
- 00:07:25.635 --> 00:07:26.969
- And they're not going to play
- 00:07:26.969 --> 00:07:27.870
- These woke, ideological, absolute b.s.
- 00:07:27.870 --> 00:07:29.872
- Games like the senator you just saw trying
- 00:07:29.872 --> 00:07:32.141
- To just paint her in a box, put her in a corner
- 00:07:32.141 --> 00:07:34.277
- And basically just, you know, get over on her.
- 00:07:34.277 --> 00:07:36.979
- She absolutely flipped the tables on him.
- 00:07:36.979 --> 00:07:38.915
- She's not going to do her her his homework for him.
- 00:07:38.915 --> 00:07:42.151
- And and she's speaking the truth.
- 00:07:42.151 --> 00:07:44.020
- And i almost think i'm almost curious
- 00:07:44.020 --> 00:07:45.888
- How many of these senators
- 00:07:45.888 --> 00:07:47.356
- Are more concerned about their own future
- 00:07:47.356 --> 00:07:50.526
- If it comes out that maybe they had some inside information
- 00:07:50.526 --> 00:07:54.363
- Or had some some corrupt dealings in the back end
- 00:07:54.363 --> 00:07:58.134
- That may come out?
- 00:07:58.134 --> 00:07:59.201
- You know, they want to know, is there an enemy list?
- 00:07:59.201 --> 00:08:01.437
- How are you going to go after people?
- 00:08:01.437 --> 00:08:02.805
- I wonder if they're concerned because they themselves
- 00:08:02.805 --> 00:08:05.274
- Could be in the hot seat.
- 00:08:05.274 --> 00:08:06.342
- Yeah.
- 00:08:06.342 --> 00:08:07.410
- David, i absolutely love president trump's picks.
- 00:08:07.410 --> 00:08:09.612
- Yeah. and i hope all of them are confirmed.
- 00:08:09.612 --> 00:08:11.414
- They should be.
- 00:08:11.414 --> 00:08:12.281
- Yeah. great point.
- 00:08:12.281 --> 00:08:13.683
- David, do you see this all?
- 00:08:13.683 --> 00:08:14.951
- And you just hit on it there.
- 00:08:14.951 --> 00:08:16.586
- Everything done in darkness now being brought to light.
- 00:08:16.586 --> 00:08:19.555
- It's very biblical.
- 00:08:19.555 --> 00:08:21.023
- Do you see this as part of maybe a larger shift?
- 00:08:21.023 --> 00:08:24.660
- I mean, people just standing up to the madness, the wokeness,
- 00:08:24.660 --> 00:08:27.863
- The hard left, whether in the media
- 00:08:27.863 --> 00:08:29.966
- Or the senators on the hill, and saying, you know what?
- 00:08:29.966 --> 00:08:32.201
- We don't have to take this.
- 00:08:32.201 --> 00:08:33.936
- This is insane.
- 00:08:33.936 --> 00:08:35.438
- And we're going to turn our country around.
- 00:08:35.438 --> 00:08:37.306
- Do you see kind of a
- 00:08:37.306 --> 00:08:38.274
- A national shift and really international,
- 00:08:38.274 --> 00:08:40.309
- Which you and i will talk more about in a minute.
- 00:08:40.309 --> 00:08:41.911
- But do you feel a shift in the united states
- 00:08:41.911 --> 00:08:44.413
- In particular since president trump's
- 00:08:44.413 --> 00:08:46.082
- Resounding victory on november 5th?
- 00:08:46.082 --> 00:08:49.185
- Absolutely, eric.
- 00:08:49.185 --> 00:08:50.353
- I think that the resounding victory
- 00:08:50.353 --> 00:08:52.688
- That you just mentioned, the popular vote by 7
- 00:08:52.688 --> 00:08:56.092
- Million votes nationally, the 312 electoral college votes,
- 00:08:56.092 --> 00:09:00.796
- It was an absolute best
- 00:09:00.796 --> 00:09:02.431
- Destruction and demolition of everything that the woke
- 00:09:02.431 --> 00:09:06.736
- Democrat party tries to push and promote
- 00:09:06.736 --> 00:09:09.271
- And shove down our faces, literally.
- 00:09:09.271 --> 00:09:11.974
- I think the american people are tired after the pandemic.
- 00:09:11.974 --> 00:09:15.277
- And i'll say plandemic, because i don't think,
- 00:09:15.277 --> 00:09:17.179
- Especially now that it's come out,
- 00:09:17.179 --> 00:09:18.414
- That it did come from a lab in china,
- 00:09:18.414 --> 00:09:20.282
- How they tried to play it down, how they tried
- 00:09:20.282 --> 00:09:22.218
- To get us to separate this social distance,
- 00:09:22.218 --> 00:09:24.820
- Where to three masks, all of it has been completely upended
- 00:09:24.820 --> 00:09:28.591
- And americans are upset.
- 00:09:28.591 --> 00:09:29.825
- Americans are upset. retired.
- 00:09:29.825 --> 00:09:31.694
- Now. we know we've been lied to.
- 00:09:31.694 --> 00:09:32.928
- A lot of americans didn't realize they're being lied to.
- 00:09:32.928 --> 00:09:35.865
- A lot of us, like you and i,
- 00:09:35.865 --> 00:09:37.033
- Have been trying to wake people up for years.
- 00:09:37.033 --> 00:09:38.868
- But now people are awake and now they want the truth.
- 00:09:38.868 --> 00:09:42.004
- And that's the silver lining, i believe.
- 00:09:42.004 --> 00:09:44.140
- On why joe biden actually took the oval office in 2021,
- 00:09:44.140 --> 00:09:48.344
- Even though i don't think he should have.
- 00:09:48.344 --> 00:09:49.712
- But i think in god's sovereignty,
- 00:09:49.712 --> 00:09:51.580
- You said, you know what, it's going to be better
- 00:09:51.580 --> 00:09:53.849
- For a lot of people to see how joe biden and the democrats
- 00:09:53.849 --> 00:09:57.520
- Run with unfettered access and control.
- 00:09:57.520 --> 00:10:00.256
- It's going to wake a lot of people up and it is.
- 00:10:00.256 --> 00:10:02.058
- David, such a great point, god's timing,
- 00:10:02.058 --> 00:10:04.126
- I think, for president trump
- 00:10:04.126 --> 00:10:05.261
- To come back into office in 2025 rather than in 2021.
- 00:10:05.261 --> 00:10:10.332
- God knows what he's doing here.
- 00:10:10.332 --> 00:10:11.767
- Hey, about a minute left
- 00:10:11.767 --> 00:10:12.802
- And we will bring you right back after the break.
- 00:10:12.802 --> 00:10:14.537
- Have you been struck by the likes of mark zuckerberg?
- 00:10:14.537 --> 00:10:17.940
- You have john fetterman visiting mar a lago, people lining up,
- 00:10:17.940 --> 00:10:21.143
- Jeff bezos, owner of amazon, washington post, visiting
- 00:10:21.143 --> 00:10:24.880
- Mar a lago as well.
- 00:10:24.880 --> 00:10:26.248
- Have you been struck by that?
- 00:10:26.248 --> 00:10:27.750
- The trump effect,
- 00:10:27.750 --> 00:10:29.051
- How some on the left and big tech are saying, wait a minute,
- 00:10:29.051 --> 00:10:32.688
- We might want to change course here
- 00:10:32.688 --> 00:10:34.423
- Because there's a new sheriff in town about 30 seconds left.
- 00:10:34.423 --> 00:10:38.127
- No, i don't think
- 00:10:38.127 --> 00:10:39.195
- I'm struck because they know they're also complicit.
- 00:10:39.195 --> 00:10:42.031
- Especially mark zuckerberg.
- 00:10:42.031 --> 00:10:43.399
- He put in almost $500 million in zuck bucks.
- 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.802
- They called him to sway the last election.
- 00:10:46.802 --> 00:10:49.004
- He was he was a part and parcel to all of the censorship
- 00:10:49.004 --> 00:10:52.608
- That joe biden's administration coerced them into.
- 00:10:52.608 --> 00:10:55.778
- He didn't just wasn't just coerced.
- 00:10:55.778 --> 00:10:57.947
- He was a willing party.
- 00:10:57.947 --> 00:10:59.281
- So i think that
- 00:10:59.281 --> 00:11:00.483
- What we see now is a shift and a change, a turnabout
- 00:11:00.483 --> 00:11:04.120
- For individuals that say, okay, i'm
- 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:05.688
- Not going to be in the hot seat.
- 00:11:05.688 --> 00:11:06.622
- I better get in trump's good graces soon.
- 00:11:06.622 --> 00:11:08.591
- And at the end of the day, that's good for all of us.
- 00:11:08.591 --> 00:11:10.526
- That's good for america.
- 00:11:10.526 --> 00:11:11.727
- It's good for free speech and it's good for our future.
- 00:11:11.727 --> 00:11:13.796
- So i say let them come. amen, folks.
- 00:11:13.796 --> 00:11:16.232
- After the break, more with david harris, junior
- 00:11:16.232 --> 00:11:18.300
- Host of the pulse on newsmax
- 00:11:18.300 --> 00:11:19.802
- Tv and the david harris junior show podcast.
- 00:11:19.802 --> 00:11:22.938
- We're going global.
- 00:11:22.938 --> 00:11:24.373
- We want to talk about the trump effect
- 00:11:24.373 --> 00:11:26.475
- And how it was seen big time this week with that hamas
- 00:11:26.475 --> 00:11:29.879
- Israel deal more with david harris junior after the break.
- 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:33.249
- Don't move.
- 00:11:33.249 --> 00:11:37.009
- Don't move.
- 00:11:37.009 --> 00:11:40.691
- I once
- 00:11:40.892 --> 00:11:41.959
- Again called to create a free world out of the chaos.
- 00:11:41.959 --> 00:11:45.029
- And this will not be easy
- 00:11:45.029 --> 00:11:47.465
- And it will be impossible without a strong
- 00:11:47.465 --> 00:11:50.501
- And a confident america that engages in the world,
- 00:11:50.501 --> 00:11:53.871
- Putting our core national interests once again
- 00:11:53.871 --> 00:11:56.908
- Above all else.
- 00:11:56.908 --> 00:11:59.210
- That was senator marco rubio, soon to be secretary of state
- 00:11:59.210 --> 00:12:02.513
- At his confirmation hearing yesterday.
- 00:12:02.513 --> 00:12:04.482
- One of the themes from senator rubio was peace
- 00:12:04.482 --> 00:12:08.452
- Through strength is back.
- 00:12:08.452 --> 00:12:10.655
- And guess what, folks? it actually works.
- 00:12:10.655 --> 00:12:12.623
- And we saw it on full display
- 00:12:12.623 --> 00:12:13.724
- This week as president trump's team helped negotiate
- 00:12:13.724 --> 00:12:16.794
- This cease fire deal between israel and hamas.
- 00:12:16.794 --> 00:12:19.363
- We're joined now once again
- 00:12:19.363 --> 00:12:20.765
- By our good friend david harris, junior host of the pulse
- 00:12:20.765 --> 00:12:23.935
- On newsmax tv in the david harris junior show podcast.
- 00:12:23.935 --> 00:12:27.572
- David, what are your thoughts? you've had a lot to say on this.
- 00:12:27.572 --> 00:12:29.707
- And by the way, follow folks.
- 00:12:29.707 --> 00:12:31.375
- David, on the cross social media,
- 00:12:31.375 --> 00:12:33.311
- You've had a lot to say about this israel hamas deal.
- 00:12:33.311 --> 00:12:36.781
- It's got pluses and minuses, obviously, like any deal does.
- 00:12:36.781 --> 00:12:40.218
- But at the end of the day,
- 00:12:40.218 --> 00:12:41.485
- Hamas finally agreeing to release hostages.
- 00:12:41.485 --> 00:12:44.622
- That has to lead back, you would think, to president
- 00:12:44.622 --> 00:12:46.991
- Trump taking such a strong stand and saying, look,
- 00:12:46.991 --> 00:12:49.961
- We're going to unleash hell if you don't release the hostages.
- 00:12:49.961 --> 00:12:54.031
- Well, no, eric, i didn't.
- 00:12:54.031 --> 00:12:55.600
- You watched joe biden's
- 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:56.834
- State of the union or his final farewell address last night.
- 00:12:56.834 --> 00:12:59.871
- Joe said, hey, we got it done.
- 00:12:59.871 --> 00:13:01.539
- I think it's hilarious
- 00:13:01.539 --> 00:13:02.907
- That joe biden is try to take credit for it. absolutely not.
- 00:13:02.907 --> 00:13:05.676
- Joe biden
- 00:13:05.676 --> 00:13:06.510
- And nothing that his administration
- 00:13:06.510 --> 00:13:07.478
- Did came close to moving the needle with hamas.
- 00:13:07.478 --> 00:13:10.147
- David, i think, number one, he is acting like it's
- 00:13:10.147 --> 00:13:12.550
- The complete end of hostilities, which is not.
- 00:13:12.550 --> 00:13:14.852
- By the way, israel eventually
- 00:13:14.852 --> 00:13:16.654
- He will finish the job with hamas.
- 00:13:16.654 --> 00:13:18.456
- And the great thing about it is
- 00:13:18.456 --> 00:13:19.824
- President trump has stated he's fully on board with that,
- 00:13:19.824 --> 00:13:23.761
- That gaza will never be a terror or hornet's nest.
- 00:13:23.761 --> 00:13:26.831
- Once again, do you think a big reason
- 00:13:26.831 --> 00:13:28.566
- That bibi would agree to this deal is because he trusts
- 00:13:28.566 --> 00:13:32.036
- President trump?
- 00:13:32.036 --> 00:13:32.904
- He sees peace through strength?
- 00:13:32.904 --> 00:13:35.439
- Absolutely.
- 00:13:35.439 --> 00:13:36.407
- I think he understands peace through strength.
- 00:13:36.407 --> 00:13:38.509
- He's seen it right.
- 00:13:38.509 --> 00:13:39.644
- We don't have to
- 00:13:39.644 --> 00:13:40.778
- Guess how president trump is going to handle affairs
- 00:13:40.778 --> 00:13:43.547
- On the world stage.
- 00:13:43.547 --> 00:13:44.749
- We saw it for four years that he was president.
- 00:13:44.749 --> 00:13:47.285
- There was peace.
- 00:13:47.285 --> 00:13:48.920
- There were no invasions.
- 00:13:48.920 --> 00:13:50.454
- The abraham accords were struck.
- 00:13:50.454 --> 00:13:52.890
- This is peace through strength.
- 00:13:52.890 --> 00:13:54.892
- This is the world leaders out there understanding
- 00:13:54.892 --> 00:13:58.362
- That when donald trump says, hey, you better do this or else.
- 00:13:58.362 --> 00:14:02.133
- He's also showing some of these terrorist leaders
- 00:14:02.133 --> 00:14:05.136
- That he knows exactly where they live.
- 00:14:05.136 --> 00:14:07.071
- He actually did that.
- 00:14:07.071 --> 00:14:08.306
- He showed one of the leaders a picture of his house and said,
- 00:14:08.306 --> 00:14:11.042
- So you're going to get it done. you're going to do what i ask.
- 00:14:11.042 --> 00:14:13.344
- So that is peace through strength,
- 00:14:13.344 --> 00:14:14.812
- Understanding that we are
- 00:14:14.812 --> 00:14:16.280
- The greatest military complex in the world and the power
- 00:14:16.280 --> 00:14:19.984
- And the reach to do whatever we want to get done,
- 00:14:19.984 --> 00:14:23.287
- And that's strength.
- 00:14:23.287 --> 00:14:24.622
- But that ultimately leads to peace.
- 00:14:24.622 --> 00:14:26.157
- So i think that that's why he's on board.
- 00:14:26.157 --> 00:14:28.092
- Great news that a deal has been struck and it's 100%
- 00:14:28.092 --> 00:14:32.830
- Because president trump
- 00:14:32.830 --> 00:14:34.332
- Elect still is not even in office yet
- 00:14:34.332 --> 00:14:36.534
- Said if they're not released,
- 00:14:36.534 --> 00:14:38.369
- All hell is going to break loose.
- 00:14:38.369 --> 00:14:39.737
- Yeah, and they understood that.
- 00:14:39.737 --> 00:14:41.138
- No doubt the trump effect in full effect.
- 00:14:41.138 --> 00:14:43.140
- And i've also said, david,
- 00:14:43.140 --> 00:14:44.442
- The 2025 feels like a year of reckoning
- 00:14:44.442 --> 00:14:47.545
- For corrupt governments.
- 00:14:47.545 --> 00:14:49.013
- Left wing woke governments.
- 00:14:49.013 --> 00:14:50.414
- We saw justin trudeau in canada.
- 00:14:50.414 --> 00:14:52.283
- Now out the door, we see gavin newsom
- 00:14:52.283 --> 00:14:54.552
- Expose closed in california with the wildfires.
- 00:14:54.552 --> 00:14:57.421
- The left wing government
- 00:14:57.421 --> 00:14:58.322
- In the uk in trouble right now as well.
- 00:14:58.322 --> 00:15:01.392
- Do you see that as part and parcel
- 00:15:01.392 --> 00:15:02.960
- Of president trump's win to maybe the rest of the world
- 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.596
- Is waking up a bit and saying, hey, if america can do it,
- 00:15:05.596 --> 00:15:09.033
- Maybe we can do it, too, and vote out these woke leaders.
- 00:15:09.033 --> 00:15:13.571
- That's exactly what's taking place.
- 00:15:13.571 --> 00:15:15.473
- Eric, you hit the nail on the head
- 00:15:15.473 --> 00:15:16.941
- When people around the world see how america rose up
- 00:15:16.941 --> 00:15:20.811
- Champion behind a man that had not one but two
- 00:15:20.811 --> 00:15:24.515
- Attempted assassinations.
- 00:15:24.515 --> 00:15:26.117
- Literally took a bullet for us after all the lawfare
- 00:15:26.117 --> 00:15:29.253
- That he went through, all the threats, all of the
- 00:15:29.253 --> 00:15:32.323
- All the cases, everything that he had to deal with
- 00:15:32.323 --> 00:15:35.159
- Just to try to run and and try to become the president,
- 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:38.396
- But then see the american people
- 00:15:38.396 --> 00:15:39.864
- Champion him to the tune of the slam dunk
- 00:15:39.864 --> 00:15:42.967
- Trifecta that he got winning everything.
- 00:15:42.967 --> 00:15:46.370
- I think that that that breeds hope and that breeds
- 00:15:46.370 --> 00:15:50.041
- That possibility.
- 00:15:50.041 --> 00:15:51.442
- And there's so many other countries in the world
- 00:15:51.442 --> 00:15:53.878
- That understand the global powers would love to continue,
- 00:15:53.878 --> 00:15:58.082
- Just have their way with them.
- 00:15:58.082 --> 00:15:59.617
- And we said no.
- 00:15:59.617 --> 00:16:00.951
- And if we can stand up and say no.
- 00:16:00.951 --> 00:16:02.753
- And so can they.
- 00:16:02.753 --> 00:16:03.921
- Yeah, god is moving and you know that better than anyone.
- 00:16:03.921 --> 00:16:06.157
- David one of the things we love about your analysis
- 00:16:06.157 --> 00:16:08.092
- And your program on newsmax tv in your great podcast
- 00:16:08.092 --> 00:16:11.195
- Is you get that we're locked
- 00:16:11.195 --> 00:16:12.830
- At the end of the day in a spiritual battle.
- 00:16:12.830 --> 00:16:15.733
- David great work, as always, my friend.
- 00:16:15.733 --> 00:16:17.301
- We will see you again soon.
- 00:16:17.301 --> 00:16:18.569
- And coming up after the break, one in eight christians
- 00:16:18.569 --> 00:16:22.807
- Around the world suffers persecution for their faith.
- 00:16:22.807 --> 00:16:27.244
- Folks, these are
- 00:16:27.244 --> 00:16:28.512
- Your brothers and sisters in christ under fire right now.
- 00:16:28.512 --> 00:16:32.650
- And you will get the inside story and how you can pray
- 00:16:32.650 --> 00:16:36.353
- After the break. don't move.
- 00:16:36.353 --> 00:16:42.006
- After the break. don't move.
- 00:16:42.006 --> 00:16:45.197
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:16:45.964 --> 00:16:47.833
- Every year, some 300 million christians
- 00:16:47.833 --> 00:16:51.470
- Worldwide are persecuted for their faith.
- 00:16:51.470 --> 00:16:55.040
- That's one out of every eight followers of jesus
- 00:16:55.040 --> 00:16:59.277
- Tortured, harassed, imprisoned and even killed.
- 00:16:59.277 --> 00:17:03.181
- Folks, these are your brothers and sisters in christ.
- 00:17:03.181 --> 00:17:07.085
- And a great organization called international christian concern
- 00:17:07.085 --> 00:17:10.489
- Has released a new report that documents country by country,
- 00:17:10.489 --> 00:17:14.860
- How the body of christ is under fire.
- 00:17:14.860 --> 00:17:17.362
- Like never before.
- 00:17:17.362 --> 00:17:18.864
- Jeff king is the president of international christian concern
- 00:17:18.864 --> 00:17:22.300
- And he joins us now. jeff, always great to see you.
- 00:17:22.300 --> 00:17:24.870
- Great work on this report as well.
- 00:17:24.870 --> 00:17:27.405
- And one of the things that jumps out at me
- 00:17:27.405 --> 00:17:29.107
- And we'll go around the horn, we'll go around the world, jeff,
- 00:17:29.107 --> 00:17:31.343
- In our conversation here.
- 00:17:31.343 --> 00:17:32.444
- But one thing that jumped out to me is the world's
- 00:17:32.444 --> 00:17:36.248
- Two most populous nations, china and india.
- 00:17:36.248 --> 00:17:40.152
- I mean, two powerhouses,
- 00:17:40.152 --> 00:17:41.953
- Especially economically in the case of china,
- 00:17:41.953 --> 00:17:44.556
- They're near the top.
- 00:17:44.556 --> 00:17:46.858
- They're right below the top level
- 00:17:46.858 --> 00:17:48.660
- When it comes to persecution.
- 00:17:48.660 --> 00:17:50.862
- And again, with china vying to be a superpower,
- 00:17:50.862 --> 00:17:53.532
- That's a very troubling signal, it seems.
- 00:17:53.532 --> 00:17:57.102
- Yeah, absolutely, eric.
- 00:17:57.102 --> 00:17:58.703
- I mean, china,
- 00:17:58.703 --> 00:17:59.504
- You know, apart from
- 00:17:59.504 --> 00:18:00.572
- Being such a large global force and so influential
- 00:18:00.572 --> 00:18:03.742
- Here, here's
- 00:18:03.742 --> 00:18:04.876
- The most dangerous thing about them is that basically
- 00:18:04.876 --> 00:18:07.212
- They have ushered in the era of big brother.
- 00:18:07.212 --> 00:18:10.782
- You know, they've got the whole country under closed circuit
- 00:18:10.782 --> 00:18:14.653
- Camera surveillance.
- 00:18:14.653 --> 00:18:16.188
- And this is a massive system that then feeds into computers.
- 00:18:16.188 --> 00:18:20.025
- And the computers are using ai
- 00:18:20.025 --> 00:18:22.694
- And they're capturing everybody, every citizen's actions
- 00:18:22.694 --> 00:18:27.132
- Where they're going.
- 00:18:27.132 --> 00:18:28.033
- So if you're a christian
- 00:18:28.033 --> 00:18:29.034
- And they see you going to church, you're
- 00:18:29.034 --> 00:18:31.203
- Competing with other christians.
- 00:18:31.203 --> 00:18:32.871
- Basically what happens is that computers
- 00:18:32.871 --> 00:18:34.673
- Recording that, tracking that, and then they are limiting
- 00:18:34.673 --> 00:18:38.577
- Your freedoms.
- 00:18:38.577 --> 00:18:39.477
- You can't travel, you don't get rewards,
- 00:18:39.477 --> 00:18:41.112
- You don't get job advancements.
- 00:18:41.112 --> 00:18:42.647
- This is literally it's the era of big brother
- 00:18:42.647 --> 00:18:44.683
- And the scariest thing, eric, because they are exporting this
- 00:18:44.683 --> 00:18:48.220
- To other dictators around the world.
- 00:18:48.220 --> 00:18:50.121
- Yeah. and christians are in the crosshairs
- 00:18:50.121 --> 00:18:52.791
- First and foremost there.
- 00:18:52.791 --> 00:18:53.992
- Jeff, as your great report documents, sub-saharan africa
- 00:18:53.992 --> 00:18:58.129
- Now four of the world's five worst offenders
- 00:18:58.129 --> 00:19:01.233
- When it comes to christian persecution
- 00:19:01.233 --> 00:19:02.934
- Are located in sub-saharan africa.
- 00:19:02.934 --> 00:19:05.170
- And just nigeria in particular is a big, big problem.
- 00:19:05.170 --> 00:19:08.773
- Right. tell us more about that.
- 00:19:08.773 --> 00:19:11.276
- Yeah, nigeria, most people don't know.
- 00:19:11.276 --> 00:19:13.078
- I'd say it's probably eric.
- 00:19:13.078 --> 00:19:14.479
- And, you know, we've talked a lot about this,
- 00:19:14.479 --> 00:19:16.381
- But i think it's probably the worst place,
- 00:19:16.381 --> 00:19:18.650
- Most dangerous place to be a christian.
- 00:19:18.650 --> 00:19:20.285
- So north korea is is a different level of oppression.
- 00:19:20.285 --> 00:19:24.089
- But in terms of the christians
- 00:19:24.089 --> 00:19:25.290
- That are being killed every year, nigeria is it
- 00:19:25.290 --> 00:19:28.593
- For the last 20 years, almost 100,000 christians
- 00:19:28.593 --> 00:19:31.730
- Have been killed. three and a half million
- 00:19:31.730 --> 00:19:33.898
- Christian farms have been stolen.
- 00:19:33.898 --> 00:19:35.834
- This is a slow motion genocide.
- 00:19:35.834 --> 00:19:37.969
- It's a stealth jihad.
- 00:19:37.969 --> 00:19:39.704
- And the scariest thing is that there's an erratic islamist
- 00:19:39.704 --> 00:19:43.241
- Deep state controlling this situation.
- 00:19:43.241 --> 00:19:45.543
- Nothing ever happens.
- 00:19:45.543 --> 00:19:46.911
- And no matter what happens, nothing happens.
- 00:19:46.911 --> 00:19:50.081
- The only hope we have is that president trump,
- 00:19:50.081 --> 00:19:53.051
- He will tend to call a spade a spade.
- 00:19:53.051 --> 00:19:55.487
- And he i think what makes some pointed comments
- 00:19:55.487 --> 00:19:58.189
- And that's our that's our best hope.
- 00:19:58.189 --> 00:20:00.191
- Great point, jeff.
- 00:20:00.191 --> 00:20:00.959
- And look, nigeria,
- 00:20:00.959 --> 00:20:02.127
- Oil rich, obviously possibly the most important country
- 00:20:02.127 --> 00:20:05.563
- In africa in many ways.
- 00:20:05.563 --> 00:20:07.332
- You mentioned president trump.
- 00:20:07.332 --> 00:20:09.167
- Do you expect a sea change now that he takes office
- 00:20:09.167 --> 00:20:12.671
- In just a few short days?
- 00:20:12.671 --> 00:20:14.272
- How big of a role can the incoming
- 00:20:14.272 --> 00:20:15.907
- Trump administration play
- 00:20:15.907 --> 00:20:17.475
- In standing up for believers around the world?
- 00:20:17.475 --> 00:20:21.179
- Yeah, well, such an interesting and nuanced question, eric.
- 00:20:21.179 --> 00:20:24.215
- As you know, you know, the the his last administration that the
- 00:20:24.215 --> 00:20:27.319
- He assembled a dream team underpants, pants on down.
- 00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:31.623
- They assembled a dream team on religious freedom.
- 00:20:31.623 --> 00:20:34.526
- So i'm really curious.
- 00:20:34.526 --> 00:20:35.560
- So i know the heart's there.
- 00:20:35.560 --> 00:20:37.462
- I know the desire to take care of christians
- 00:20:37.462 --> 00:20:40.031
- And to see religious freedom spread.
- 00:20:40.031 --> 00:20:41.933
- Is there.
- 00:20:41.933 --> 00:20:43.201
- But it's really who are the players?
- 00:20:43.201 --> 00:20:44.936
- Who is he putting in place
- 00:20:44.936 --> 00:20:46.271
- All the way down to state department level
- 00:20:46.271 --> 00:20:48.873
- And even an office within state department?
- 00:20:48.873 --> 00:20:52.310
- But i know that the tribe will be there
- 00:20:52.310 --> 00:20:54.579
- And it's just going to be hard
- 00:20:54.579 --> 00:20:55.513
- To equal the last administration.
- 00:20:55.513 --> 00:20:57.515
- Yeah, true. but we hope that he can. right.
- 00:20:57.515 --> 00:20:59.651
- We hope he can even exceed it.
- 00:20:59.651 --> 00:21:01.119
- And this is great, jeff, because you're giving
- 00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:03.421
- Our viewers prayer points.
- 00:21:03.421 --> 00:21:04.923
- One last region before we leave.
- 00:21:04.923 --> 00:21:06.558
- About 30 seconds left.
- 00:21:06.558 --> 00:21:08.259
- The middle east obviously still major problem starting,
- 00:21:08.259 --> 00:21:11.196
- I guess, with the iranian regime.
- 00:21:11.196 --> 00:21:14.532
- Well, the iranian regime and
- 00:21:14.532 --> 00:21:16.101
- The syrian or the syria was the last safe place
- 00:21:16.101 --> 00:21:18.937
- For christians in the middle east.
- 00:21:18.937 --> 00:21:20.472
- Almost one of the few.
- 00:21:20.472 --> 00:21:22.307
- And then that's gone.
- 00:21:22.307 --> 00:21:23.742
- And now radicals, basically al qaeda and isis have taken over.
- 00:21:23.742 --> 00:21:27.178
- That's the bad news.
- 00:21:27.178 --> 00:21:28.380
- The good news is with iran is that christian is exploding,
- 00:21:28.380 --> 00:21:32.984
- Islam is dying and iran is now completely isolated.
- 00:21:32.984 --> 00:21:36.788
- All their all their proxy war clients have been destroyed.
- 00:21:36.788 --> 00:21:41.226
- So now they are the last man standing in israel.
- 00:21:41.226 --> 00:21:44.262
- It's you.
- 00:21:44.262 --> 00:21:45.063
- We all know what's going to happen
- 00:21:45.063 --> 00:21:46.364
- Now that the proxies are dead.
- 00:21:46.364 --> 00:21:48.400
- You know, israel is going to go after him.
- 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:50.268
- Yeah, so true, jeff.
- 00:21:50.268 --> 00:21:51.803
- And that's a great way to end.
- 00:21:51.803 --> 00:21:53.104
- God is on the move,
- 00:21:53.104 --> 00:21:54.372
- Encouraging things happening in iran, of all places.
- 00:21:54.372 --> 00:21:57.275
- And jeff, you're on the front lines of it.
- 00:21:57.275 --> 00:21:58.943
- International christian concern, folks.
- 00:21:58.943 --> 00:22:00.545
- Great organization, great report.
- 00:22:00.545 --> 00:22:02.046
- Check it out online. jeff, thanks again.
- 00:22:02.046 --> 00:22:03.815
- And keep up the great work. and coming up after the break.
- 00:22:03.815 --> 00:22:06.351
- My final thoughts on again and jeff just detailed this,
- 00:22:06.351 --> 00:22:09.821
- How, yes, there are some great political solutions and answers,
- 00:22:09.821 --> 00:22:13.458
- But at the end of the day, this is a spiritual battle.
- 00:22:13.458 --> 00:22:16.961
- More on that after the break. stick around.
- 00:22:16.961 --> 00:22:22.007
- More on that after the break. stick around.
- 00:22:22.007 --> 00:22:25.035
- Welcome back to sstakelbeck tonight, folks.
- 00:22:25.903 --> 00:22:27.504
- As we wrap up here,
- 00:22:27.504 --> 00:22:28.572
- I'm thinking about our conversation with jeff king,
- 00:22:28.572 --> 00:22:30.240
- The rise of christian persecution around the world.
- 00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.110
- It may seem distant to we here in the united states,
- 00:22:33.110 --> 00:22:36.213
- But remember the words of second timothy,
- 00:22:36.213 --> 00:22:38.182
- Chapter three, verse 12.
- 00:22:38.182 --> 00:22:39.716
- In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in christ
- 00:22:39.716 --> 00:22:44.321
- Jesus will be persecuted always comes in some form or fashion.
- 00:22:44.321 --> 00:22:49.760
- That's why we're so encouraged to see president trump
- 00:22:49.760 --> 00:22:51.929
- Take office on monday, january 20th, for short days from now,
- 00:22:51.929 --> 00:22:55.699
- I will be there in d.c.
- 00:22:55.699 --> 00:22:57.401
- So be sure to check us out here
- 00:22:57.401 --> 00:22:58.702
- On stakelbeck tonight from the inauguration.
- 00:22:58.702 --> 00:23:00.737
- But this could be a new age, i believe, and a new era
- 00:23:00.737 --> 00:23:04.208
- For the body of christ and a golden opportunity
- 00:23:04.208 --> 00:23:06.977
- To really make some headway for the kingdom.
- 00:23:06.977 --> 00:23:09.213
- So i'm excited about that.
- 00:23:09.213 --> 00:23:10.514
- Also excited that emily campagna of fox news with us tomorrow
- 00:23:10.514 --> 00:23:14.017
- Along with yosef haddad joining us from israel.
- 00:23:14.017 --> 00:23:17.554
- It's going to be good.
- 00:23:17.554 --> 00:23:18.589
- Until then. god bless you.
- 00:23:18.589 --> 00:23:21.091
- We'll see you soon.
- 00:23:21.091 --> 00:23:21.091
