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 3, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | January 3, 2025
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:03.460 --> 00:00:04.961
- I'm erick stakelbeck.
- 00:00:04.961 --> 00:00:06.129
- And if you're in the streets
- 00:00:06.129 --> 00:00:07.864
- Of america calling for gene card against israel,
- 00:00:07.864 --> 00:00:11.901
- There is a very good chance that you were happy about
- 00:00:11.901 --> 00:00:15.271
- What happened in new orleans on new year's day,
- 00:00:15.271 --> 00:00:18.608
- Because at the end of the day, is there really any difference
- 00:00:18.608 --> 00:00:22.245
- Between supporting hamas and supporting isis?
- 00:00:22.245 --> 00:00:25.949
- Is there any difference between cheering for hamas
- 00:00:25.949 --> 00:00:29.319
- Butchers who slaughtered women, children
- 00:00:29.319 --> 00:00:32.489
- And the elderly on october 7th and cheering
- 00:00:32.489 --> 00:00:35.592
- For isis inspired terrorists like shamshad din jabar,
- 00:00:35.592 --> 00:00:39.496
- Who murdered 15 innocent people with his car on new year's day.
- 00:00:39.496 --> 00:00:44.334
- Now, hamas and dice this may have some tactical differences,
- 00:00:44.334 --> 00:00:48.004
- But the end game is the same for both murder and mayhem.
- 00:00:48.004 --> 00:00:53.443
- The elimination of every last jew and christian
- 00:00:53.443 --> 00:00:56.779
- And the establishment of totalitarian islamic rule.
- 00:00:56.779 --> 00:01:01.151
- That's it.
- 00:01:01.151 --> 00:01:02.418
- Israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu had it exactly right.
- 00:01:02.418 --> 00:01:08.725
- Hamas
- 00:01:08.725 --> 00:01:09.726
- Terrorists bound, burned and executed children.
- 00:01:09.726 --> 00:01:12.395
- They are savages.
- 00:01:12.395 --> 00:01:14.864
- Hamas is isis.
- 00:01:14.864 --> 00:01:17.200
- And just as the forces of civilizations united
- 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.736
- To defeat isis, the forces of civilization
- 00:01:19.736 --> 00:01:23.039
- Must support israel in defeating hamas.
- 00:01:23.039 --> 00:01:27.710
- Yes, hamas is isis, but that global anti hamas
- 00:01:27.710 --> 00:01:33.116
- Coalition that bebe called for has sadly not materialized.
- 00:01:33.116 --> 00:01:38.087
- In fact, it's been quite the opposite.
- 00:01:38.087 --> 00:01:40.823
- We've seen thousands of hamas supporters
- 00:01:40.823 --> 00:01:43.593
- Take to the streets across europe
- 00:01:43.593 --> 00:01:45.662
- And the united states and on college campuses
- 00:01:45.662 --> 00:01:48.831
- On new year's day, just hours after the deadly terror attack
- 00:01:48.831 --> 00:01:52.735
- In new orleans, a mob of hamas terror supporters
- 00:01:52.735 --> 00:01:56.339
- Took to the streets of times square and called for an
- 00:01:56.339 --> 00:01:59.976
- Intifada revolution, a violent uprising against israel.
- 00:01:59.976 --> 00:02:23.733
- Gee, they seem like a reasonable bunch
- 00:02:24.567 --> 00:02:27.437
- Or not more like demonic folks.
- 00:02:27.437 --> 00:02:30.974
- Remember, two things.
- 00:02:30.974 --> 00:02:32.242
- Number one, the same evil people who cheer for the destruction
- 00:02:32.242 --> 00:02:36.412
- Of israel also burn american flags at their rallies.
- 00:02:36.412 --> 00:02:40.984
- And number two,
- 00:02:40.984 --> 00:02:42.285
- There's an old saying in the world of radical islam.
- 00:02:42.285 --> 00:02:45.121
- First, we're coming for the saturday people, the jews,
- 00:02:45.121 --> 00:02:49.225
- And then the sunday people, the christians.
- 00:02:49.225 --> 00:02:52.829
- Israel is the canary in the coal mine.
- 00:02:52.829 --> 00:02:56.065
- Bottom line,
- 00:02:56.065 --> 00:02:57.133
- The hamas supporters who've taken to
- 00:02:57.133 --> 00:02:58.968
- The streets of american cities are a potential domestic
- 00:02:58.968 --> 00:03:02.538
- Terror threat, just like their isis cousins.
- 00:03:02.538 --> 00:03:05.775
- It's a major concern
- 00:03:05.775 --> 00:03:07.410
- That president trump will need to address
- 00:03:07.410 --> 00:03:09.946
- When he takes office in just 17 days, and i believe he will.
- 00:03:09.946 --> 00:03:15.251
- Unlike the current occupant of the white house,
- 00:03:15.251 --> 00:03:18.655
- Who has repeatedly shared his view that white supremacy
- 00:03:18.655 --> 00:03:22.725
- Is the greatest threat to america's national security,
- 00:03:22.725 --> 00:03:26.462
- Not islamic terrorists who've caused mass death
- 00:03:26.462 --> 00:03:29.999
- In new orleans on 911 at the boston
- 00:03:29.999 --> 00:03:33.303
- Marathon, san bernardino, fort hood and beyond.
- 00:03:33.303 --> 00:03:37.340
- Take a look.
- 00:03:37.340 --> 00:03:39.375
- Terrorism from white supremacy
- 00:03:39.375 --> 00:03:41.577
- Is the most lethal threat to the homeland today.
- 00:03:41.577 --> 00:03:45.348
- Not isis. not al qaeda.
- 00:03:45.348 --> 00:03:48.418
- White supremacy
- 00:03:48.418 --> 00:03:51.187
- As the most dangerous terrorist threat to
- 00:03:51.187 --> 00:03:52.989
- Our homeland is white supremacy.
- 00:03:52.989 --> 00:03:56.359
- And we won't ignore what our intelligence agencies
- 00:03:56.359 --> 00:03:58.628
- Have to determined
- 00:03:58.628 --> 00:04:00.096
- To be the most lethal terrorist threat to the homeland.
- 00:04:00.096 --> 00:04:02.465
- Today.
- 00:04:02.465 --> 00:04:04.801
- White supremacy, terrorism.
- 00:04:04.801 --> 00:04:08.438
- You know, it's almost like we've been living
- 00:04:08.438 --> 00:04:10.173
- In a parallel universe these past four years.
- 00:04:10.173 --> 00:04:13.343
- White supremacists, the kkk, neo-nazis,
- 00:04:13.343 --> 00:04:16.913
- These are evil, dangerous people, no doubt.
- 00:04:16.913 --> 00:04:20.049
- But they are a fringe of a fringe in american society.
- 00:04:20.049 --> 00:04:24.087
- To say they're a greater threat to our national security
- 00:04:24.087 --> 00:04:26.956
- Than global jihadist movements like al qaeda and isis
- 00:04:26.956 --> 00:04:31.027
- That have killed thousands of people, including
- 00:04:31.027 --> 00:04:33.863
- Thousands of americans, is frankly insane.
- 00:04:33.863 --> 00:04:37.800
- Thankfully, we are on the verge on january 20th
- 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.970
- Of making america sane again and not just america.
- 00:04:40.970 --> 00:04:45.408
- What kind of impact will donald trump have on the middle east?
- 00:04:45.408 --> 00:04:49.445
- And could 2025 be a year of prophetic
- 00:04:49.445 --> 00:04:52.749
- Breakthroughs for israel and that entire region?
- 00:04:52.749 --> 00:04:56.319
- Our tv in israel correspondent yair pinto joins
- 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.255
- Us from jerusalem with the inside story next.
- 00:04:59.255 --> 00:05:21.611
- The middle east never sleeps
- 00:05:22.211 --> 00:05:24.313
- And what happens in the middle east does not stay
- 00:05:24.313 --> 00:05:27.550
- In the middle east.
- 00:05:27.550 --> 00:05:28.484
- So what's coming in 2025 in the world's
- 00:05:28.484 --> 00:05:31.788
- Most volatile, chaotic and strategic region?
- 00:05:31.788 --> 00:05:35.124
- And why does it matter to you?
- 00:05:35.124 --> 00:05:37.560
- Joining us now to break it down is our good
- 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.061
- Friend, tbn, israel correspondent
- 00:05:39.061 --> 00:05:41.130
- And host of the great new tbn show boots on the ground seen
- 00:05:41.130 --> 00:05:44.700
- Right here every thursday night, the one and only year.
- 00:05:44.700 --> 00:05:47.737
- Pinto joins us from jerusalem.
- 00:05:47.737 --> 00:05:50.206
- Hey, my friend, first of all, happy new year.
- 00:05:50.206 --> 00:05:52.875
- And secondly, i mentioned that the middle east never sleeps
- 00:05:52.875 --> 00:05:57.346
- During the holiday season, during christmas and hanukkah.
- 00:05:57.346 --> 00:06:01.083
- We saw the houthis in yemen.
- 00:06:01.083 --> 00:06:04.086
- Yeah.
- 00:06:04.086 --> 00:06:04.620
- It seems are kind of
- 00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:05.822
- Like the last man standing in that iranian ring of fire.
- 00:06:05.822 --> 00:06:09.025
- They're still firing ballistic missiles
- 00:06:09.025 --> 00:06:11.127
- On a regular basis at israel.
- 00:06:11.127 --> 00:06:13.596
- Is this a big story to watch as we head into 2025?
- 00:06:13.596 --> 00:06:18.267
- Will israel, in your view,
- 00:06:18.267 --> 00:06:20.369
- Up its response to these houthi attacks?
- 00:06:20.369 --> 00:06:24.874
- Yes, definitely.
- 00:06:24.874 --> 00:06:26.476
- You know, in the past week, we had the alarms
- 00:06:26.476 --> 00:06:31.214
- Taking millions of israelis
- 00:06:31.214 --> 00:06:32.682
- Into bomb shelters in the middle of the night
- 00:06:32.682 --> 00:06:35.685
- Because of missiles that were fired from yemen,
- 00:06:35.685 --> 00:06:38.621
- Which is 2000 kilometers away from israel by the houthis.
- 00:06:38.621 --> 00:06:43.526
- Before this war started,
- 00:06:43.526 --> 00:06:44.760
- I don't think anybody heard about the houthis,
- 00:06:44.760 --> 00:06:47.330
- But the houthis are this terrorist militia
- 00:06:47.330 --> 00:06:51.300
- That is controlling the huge country of yemen
- 00:06:51.300 --> 00:06:55.171
- And is supported by the islamic republic of iran
- 00:06:55.171 --> 00:06:58.875
- Because they are so far away from israel.
- 00:06:58.875 --> 00:07:01.744
- We don't have as much intelligence and targets
- 00:07:01.744 --> 00:07:05.581
- And information about them as we did regarding hezbollah,
- 00:07:05.581 --> 00:07:09.886
- Hamas and iranian militias in syria and in iraq.
- 00:07:09.886 --> 00:07:15.291
- And that's
- 00:07:15.291 --> 00:07:16.526
- One of the reasons that israel is taking its time in responding
- 00:07:16.526 --> 00:07:19.996
- To these ballistic missiles attack.
- 00:07:19.996 --> 00:07:21.631
- But these are already struck.
- 00:07:21.631 --> 00:07:23.199
- The houthis four times and caused massive damage to them.
- 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:28.070
- But because of the distance,
- 00:07:28.070 --> 00:07:29.739
- It makes it impossible to carry
- 00:07:29.739 --> 00:07:31.307
- Out a ground operation and to have boots on the ground,
- 00:07:31.307 --> 00:07:35.077
- Which in the situation here in the middle east,
- 00:07:35.077 --> 00:07:37.613
- We understand that
- 00:07:37.613 --> 00:07:38.848
- That's the only option to really take control of the situation.
- 00:07:38.848 --> 00:07:43.819
- So iran lost its hold in the gaza strip.
- 00:07:43.819 --> 00:07:46.522
- Iran lost its hold with hezbollah.
- 00:07:46.522 --> 00:07:49.025
- Iran lost its hold with the assad regime collapsing.
- 00:07:49.025 --> 00:07:53.362
- So the only last proxy that they have in order
- 00:07:53.362 --> 00:07:57.433
- To carry out attacks against israel are the houthis.
- 00:07:57.433 --> 00:08:00.469
- But it's important
- 00:08:00.469 --> 00:08:01.304
- To remember that
- 00:08:01.304 --> 00:08:02.405
- The houthis, eric, are not just an isolated problem.
- 00:08:02.405 --> 00:08:05.341
- They are disrupting the maritime shipments of merchant ships
- 00:08:05.341 --> 00:08:09.879
- To the entire western side of the globe,
- 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.983
- Basically increasing the prices of everything
- 00:08:13.983 --> 00:08:17.820
- That not just israel buys, but also europe
- 00:08:17.820 --> 00:08:20.790
- And everything that goes into a through the mediterranean sea
- 00:08:20.790 --> 00:08:25.761
- And through that area, because they are attacking
- 00:08:25.761 --> 00:08:28.130
- Merchant ships on a daily basis.
- 00:08:28.130 --> 00:08:30.066
- And this is a global problem, not just in israel problem.
- 00:08:30.066 --> 00:08:33.102
- Yeah, yeah, that is a great point.
- 00:08:33.102 --> 00:08:35.304
- Again, what happens in the middle east
- 00:08:35.304 --> 00:08:36.906
- Does not stay in the middle east.
- 00:08:36.906 --> 00:08:38.641
- The houthis, as you mentioned, look,
- 00:08:38.641 --> 00:08:39.942
- They've been harassing
- 00:08:39.942 --> 00:08:41.177
- Us, shipping, coming through the red sea
- 00:08:41.177 --> 00:08:43.713
- And causing a real mess there
- 00:08:43.713 --> 00:08:45.815
- And one of the world's most strategic waterways.
- 00:08:45.815 --> 00:08:48.117
- Perhaps that will change
- 00:08:48.117 --> 00:08:49.518
- When president trump takes office on january 20th.
- 00:08:49.518 --> 00:08:52.722
- In the meantime,
- 00:08:52.722 --> 00:08:54.090
- Prime minister netanyahu has talked about targeting who
- 00:08:54.090 --> 00:08:56.859
- The leadership, which seems to make a lot of sense.
- 00:08:56.859 --> 00:08:59.862
- Israel had great success doing that of course, in 2024
- 00:08:59.862 --> 00:09:03.399
- With hamas and hezbollah in recent days.
- 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:06.669
- Yea, speaking of hamas, and you were in gaza
- 00:09:06.669 --> 00:09:09.405
- In the wake of october 7th as a member of the idf reserves.
- 00:09:09.405 --> 00:09:13.009
- We've seen some maybe renewed hamas activity
- 00:09:13.009 --> 00:09:16.712
- In the northern half of gaza.
- 00:09:16.712 --> 00:09:18.581
- Tell us more about that and what the idf is doing there.
- 00:09:18.581 --> 00:09:21.751
- Yes. so the issue with hamas is in the beginning
- 00:09:21.751 --> 00:09:25.621
- They were this huge
- 00:09:25.621 --> 00:09:26.856
- Terrorist army that controlled all of gaza.
- 00:09:26.856 --> 00:09:29.725
- But since the beginning of this war
- 00:09:29.725 --> 00:09:31.260
- And since the ground maneuver of the idf into the gaza strip,
- 00:09:31.260 --> 00:09:35.097
- Hamas has been completely destroyed and demolished.
- 00:09:35.097 --> 00:09:38.167
- What's left of hamas is a guerrilla terrorist organization
- 00:09:38.167 --> 00:09:42.938
- That is recruiting 16 year old palestinians
- 00:09:42.938 --> 00:09:47.777
- From the refugee camps and is conducting the majority
- 00:09:47.777 --> 00:09:51.881
- Of their operations from hospitals, from schools
- 00:09:51.881 --> 00:09:55.584
- And from humanitarian zones, from within the palestinian
- 00:09:55.584 --> 00:10:00.623
- Civilian, using the palestinians as human shields.
- 00:10:00.623 --> 00:10:04.560
- The idf is conducting conducting massive operations
- 00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:08.664
- Within the jabalia area,
- 00:10:08.664 --> 00:10:10.399
- Which is a huge refugee camp
- 00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.201
- In the northern part of the gaza strip
- 00:10:12.201 --> 00:10:14.670
- To root out these terrorists, the hamas terrorists
- 00:10:14.670 --> 00:10:18.174
- From within the population.
- 00:10:18.174 --> 00:10:19.842
- Just recently, the idf encircled a hospital in that area
- 00:10:19.842 --> 00:10:25.448
- And called on all the civilians
- 00:10:25.448 --> 00:10:28.117
- To evacuate in order to find
- 00:10:28.117 --> 00:10:31.287
- The terrorists and captured them or terminate them.
- 00:10:31.287 --> 00:10:34.457
- And while doing that, the hamas terrorists disguise themselves
- 00:10:34.457 --> 00:10:38.427
- As injured palestinians carried injured babies
- 00:10:38.427 --> 00:10:42.098
- In their hands in an attempt to evade the idf and to escape.
- 00:10:42.098 --> 00:10:46.302
- In this operation, the idf was able to capture
- 00:10:46.302 --> 00:10:50.072
- And terminate hundreds of hamas members,
- 00:10:50.072 --> 00:10:53.576
- But also they were able to launch a rocket at israel
- 00:10:53.576 --> 00:10:56.912
- On the new year's right in midnight from that area.
- 00:10:56.912 --> 00:11:00.816
- So the fighting is still going on
- 00:11:00.816 --> 00:11:02.384
- And hamas is still holding power,
- 00:11:02.384 --> 00:11:04.653
- Holding on the civilian population of the gaza strip.
- 00:11:04.653 --> 00:11:08.224
- Yeah. two things.
- 00:11:08.224 --> 00:11:09.425
- We have about a minute before the break.
- 00:11:09.425 --> 00:11:10.826
- Two quick things.
- 00:11:10.826 --> 00:11:12.495
- Hostages, still dozens.
- 00:11:12.495 --> 00:11:14.063
- They're obviously held in hamas's clutches.
- 00:11:14.063 --> 00:11:16.532
- Are any updates there?
- 00:11:16.532 --> 00:11:17.967
- And the hezbollah cease fire in lebanon
- 00:11:17.967 --> 00:11:20.836
- Seems to be holding thus far. yeah.
- 00:11:20.836 --> 00:11:23.072
- So talking about the hostages, that's that's very sad.
- 00:11:23.072 --> 00:11:25.441
- The negotiations are stuck
- 00:11:25.441 --> 00:11:27.176
- Because hamas keeps going back to the demand that israel
- 00:11:27.176 --> 00:11:30.412
- Will stop this war and withdraw all of its forces
- 00:11:30.412 --> 00:11:34.850
- From the gaza strip.
- 00:11:34.850 --> 00:11:36.051
- They don't even give us a list of 32 living names of hostages
- 00:11:36.051 --> 00:11:41.323
- That will be released in the first phase of this deal.
- 00:11:41.323 --> 00:11:44.026
- So i don't see this hostage negotiation still going
- 00:11:44.026 --> 00:11:48.063
- Any further in this situation.
- 00:11:48.063 --> 00:11:50.533
- And hopefully that donald trump will change all of this
- 00:11:50.533 --> 00:11:53.402
- Because he's been promising that if hamas does
- 00:11:53.402 --> 00:11:56.205
- Not release the hostages by the time he assumes office,
- 00:11:56.205 --> 00:11:59.241
- All hell will break loose on them.
- 00:11:59.241 --> 00:12:01.443
- So i really hope that that really brings them home.
- 00:12:01.443 --> 00:12:04.113
- Yeah.
- 00:12:04.113 --> 00:12:05.014
- And in terms of hezbollah in lebanon,
- 00:12:05.014 --> 00:12:08.250
- In terms of peace in lebanon, the ceasefire
- 00:12:08.250 --> 00:12:11.987
- Never really was, you know, holding 100%.
- 00:12:11.987 --> 00:12:15.958
- Hezbollah is still trying to retrieve their weapons,
- 00:12:15.958 --> 00:12:19.595
- Their facilities,
- 00:12:19.595 --> 00:12:20.930
- And to test the borders
- 00:12:20.930 --> 00:12:22.498
- Within the areas that they're not allowed to be in.
- 00:12:22.498 --> 00:12:25.634
- Yeah, you will be right back with us after the break to talk
- 00:12:25.634 --> 00:12:28.771
- To more major stories in the middle east that impact
- 00:12:28.771 --> 00:12:32.775
- Every american.
- 00:12:32.775 --> 00:12:33.709
- I'm talking about
- 00:12:33.709 --> 00:12:34.777
- Iran's nuclear program and the situation in syria.
- 00:12:34.777 --> 00:12:38.614
- Could the shockwaves there be felt here?
- 00:12:38.614 --> 00:12:41.817
- More with the arab until after the break. don't move.
- 00:12:41.817 --> 00:12:46.006
- More with the arab until after the break. don't move.
- 00:12:46.006 --> 00:12:49.092
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:12:49.860 --> 00:12:51.428
- We are starting off 2025 with a middle east breakdown.
- 00:12:51.428 --> 00:12:55.031
- The state of play for tbn.
- 00:12:55.031 --> 00:12:56.867
- Israel correspondent
- 00:12:56.867 --> 00:12:58.401
- Yair pinto, host of boots on the ground,
- 00:12:58.401 --> 00:13:00.503
- Seen every thursday night right here on tbn.
- 00:13:00.503 --> 00:13:02.706
- Joining us from jerusalem.
- 00:13:02.706 --> 00:13:05.008
- And yeah, as i saw the madness unfold in new orleans earlier
- 00:13:05.008 --> 00:13:09.412
- This week with an isis inspired terrorist killing 15 americans,
- 00:13:09.412 --> 00:13:14.184
- I thought of what's happening in syria at your doorstep
- 00:13:14.184 --> 00:13:17.721
- In israel.
- 00:13:17.721 --> 00:13:18.955
- Now, syria recently overrun by al qaida linked terrorists
- 00:13:18.955 --> 00:13:22.292
- Who are now controlling a large portion of that country.
- 00:13:22.292 --> 00:13:26.062
- I think back to a few years ago where syria was an isis hotbed.
- 00:13:26.062 --> 00:13:30.567
- And my concern
- 00:13:30.567 --> 00:13:31.434
- Is that once again,
- 00:13:31.434 --> 00:13:33.036
- Syria could become under this new leadership,
- 00:13:33.036 --> 00:13:35.605
- Kind of a global hub for jihad that will affect us here
- 00:13:35.605 --> 00:13:39.442
- In america.
- 00:13:39.442 --> 00:13:40.577
- How do you see that new syrian government right now?
- 00:13:40.577 --> 00:13:43.813
- I know israel, rightfully so, is very wary of what's happening
- 00:13:43.813 --> 00:13:48.051
- At its northern doorstep.
- 00:13:48.051 --> 00:13:51.321
- Yeah.
- 00:13:51.321 --> 00:13:52.055
- So i think israel is
- 00:13:52.055 --> 00:13:54.291
- Really, really, really suspicious about this new
- 00:13:54.291 --> 00:13:57.527
- So-called, you know, western or freedom fighter government
- 00:13:57.527 --> 00:14:01.464
- In syria, because just a few years ago,
- 00:14:01.464 --> 00:14:04.401
- They are all members
- 00:14:04.401 --> 00:14:05.835
- Of al qaida, of isis and other radical islamic groups
- 00:14:05.835 --> 00:14:11.241
- That declared, you know, on camera that they want to conquer
- 00:14:11.241 --> 00:14:16.446
- Jerusalem, they want to attack jerusalem, to attack israel.
- 00:14:16.446 --> 00:14:20.750
- At the moment,
- 00:14:20.750 --> 00:14:21.751
- It seems like they are focused in syria
- 00:14:21.751 --> 00:14:24.087
- And taking
- 00:14:24.087 --> 00:14:25.322
- Control of that country, but that might change in an instant.
- 00:14:25.322 --> 00:14:28.591
- So he's not he's not taking any chances.
- 00:14:28.591 --> 00:14:30.860
- The idf is already present with boots on the ground,
- 00:14:30.860 --> 00:14:34.130
- With tanks on all the strategic places.
- 00:14:34.130 --> 00:14:37.667
- The idf conducted massive airstrikes to destroy
- 00:14:37.667 --> 00:14:42.572
- All former military bases of the assad
- 00:14:42.572 --> 00:14:45.442
- Regime to make sure that this new, you know, government
- 00:14:45.442 --> 00:14:50.113
- Or new al qaida branded government in syria
- 00:14:50.113 --> 00:14:54.150
- Will not take control of any chemical weapons, rockets,
- 00:14:54.150 --> 00:14:58.054
- Airplanes, tanks or anything that assad
- 00:14:58.054 --> 00:15:01.491
- Or the russians might have left in syria
- 00:15:01.491 --> 00:15:04.594
- After bashar al assad escaped to to moscow.
- 00:15:04.594 --> 00:15:09.199
- So that's what the idf is doing.
- 00:15:09.199 --> 00:15:11.201
- And i'm going
- 00:15:11.201 --> 00:15:12.402
- To go there on monday next week to check it out for myself
- 00:15:12.402 --> 00:15:15.438
- To the area of the home on mountain
- 00:15:15.438 --> 00:15:17.674
- To see the forces there closer.
- 00:15:17.674 --> 00:15:19.709
- And that brings us to iran.
- 00:15:19.709 --> 00:15:21.711
- Now, you detailed in
- 00:15:21.711 --> 00:15:22.946
- Our last segment year how iran's ring of fire is pretty much
- 00:15:22.946 --> 00:15:26.349
- Now a smoldering heap of ruin, thanks to the idf's heavy blows.
- 00:15:26.349 --> 00:15:31.087
- And it dealt to hamas and hezbollah
- 00:15:31.087 --> 00:15:33.289
- The collapse of the assad regime and striking iran directly
- 00:15:33.289 --> 00:15:36.926
- In response, by the way, to iranian attacks against israel,
- 00:15:36.926 --> 00:15:40.363
- Destroying iran's air defense systems.
- 00:15:40.363 --> 00:15:43.066
- I say all that to say.
- 00:15:43.066 --> 00:15:44.868
- It seems that
- 00:15:44.868 --> 00:15:45.969
- There is a clear path right now from israel to iran.
- 00:15:45.969 --> 00:15:50.206
- If israel chooses to strike iran's nuclear facilities,
- 00:15:50.206 --> 00:15:55.211
- Could 2025 be the moment of reckoning
- 00:15:55.211 --> 00:15:58.548
- For iran's nuclear program?
- 00:15:58.548 --> 00:16:00.583
- Again, it seems that
- 00:16:00.583 --> 00:16:01.651
- Israel has a golden opportunity here to eliminate
- 00:16:01.651 --> 00:16:05.555
- An existential threat.
- 00:16:05.555 --> 00:16:09.125
- Yes, i'm i'm an optimist.
- 00:16:09.125 --> 00:16:11.461
- So i think that despite all this, you know, hard year
- 00:16:11.461 --> 00:16:15.565
- And a half that israel had fighting multiple fronts,
- 00:16:15.565 --> 00:16:20.170
- We have a chance to strike at the head of the snake,
- 00:16:20.170 --> 00:16:23.840
- Which is iran.
- 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:25.375
- And all we need is the backing from the united states
- 00:16:25.375 --> 00:16:28.711
- In order to do that, in order
- 00:16:28.711 --> 00:16:30.713
- To completely destroy their nuclear capabilities
- 00:16:30.713 --> 00:16:34.017
- And hopefully to free the iranian people, which
- 00:16:34.017 --> 00:16:36.619
- Which we love.
- 00:16:36.619 --> 00:16:37.854
- The iranian people from this islamic revolutionary guards,
- 00:16:37.854 --> 00:16:41.357
- The ayatollah regime that is crippling their economy
- 00:16:41.357 --> 00:16:44.661
- And investing all their money in destabilizing this region,
- 00:16:44.661 --> 00:16:48.998
- We were able to carry out precise strikes,
- 00:16:48.998 --> 00:16:51.968
- Destroying their anti-air aerial defense systems as well.
- 00:16:51.968 --> 00:16:57.607
- Unofficial reports claim that we hit an
- 00:16:57.607 --> 00:17:01.377
- Unofficial nuclear site that, according to the iranians
- 00:17:01.377 --> 00:17:05.715
- And the nuclear watchdog, never existed.
- 00:17:05.715 --> 00:17:09.018
- So i think we've proven unofficially that
- 00:17:09.018 --> 00:17:11.988
- We have the ability to strike their nuclear facilities,
- 00:17:11.988 --> 00:17:15.725
- And all we need is the backing from our great ally,
- 00:17:15.725 --> 00:17:18.862
- The united states.
- 00:17:18.862 --> 00:17:19.896
- Yeah, that's an important story.
- 00:17:19.896 --> 00:17:21.464
- I heard that you mentioned
- 00:17:21.464 --> 00:17:22.565
- On october 26, 2024, that major attack counterattack.
- 00:17:22.565 --> 00:17:26.236
- I should say, carried out by the israeli air force,
- 00:17:26.236 --> 00:17:28.438
- Destroying iran's air defense systems.
- 00:17:28.438 --> 00:17:30.173
- But also, as you mentioned,
- 00:17:30.173 --> 00:17:31.975
- A top secret iranian nuclear research facility.
- 00:17:31.975 --> 00:17:35.812
- And i love what you said that we do love the iranian people.
- 00:17:35.812 --> 00:17:38.615
- Look, two things.
- 00:17:38.615 --> 00:17:39.782
- Number one, iran is a bible land.
- 00:17:39.782 --> 00:17:41.751
- Esther, mordechai,
- 00:17:41.751 --> 00:17:43.153
- Darius cyrus from our bible that unfolded in ancient persia,
- 00:17:43.153 --> 00:17:47.690
- Which is modern day iran.
- 00:17:47.690 --> 00:17:49.893
- And another nugget here that people should know
- 00:17:49.893 --> 00:17:51.694
- And pray about.
- 00:17:51.694 --> 00:17:52.896
- Iran is home to the fastest growing church in the world.
- 00:17:52.896 --> 00:17:56.566
- Despite relentless execution, the church there is growing
- 00:17:56.566 --> 00:18:00.203
- Because you can't stop the gospel. on that note.
- 00:18:00.203 --> 00:18:02.438
- Yeah, final question for you, boots on the ground.
- 00:18:02.438 --> 00:18:05.408
- We have about 30 seconds left.
- 00:18:05.408 --> 00:18:06.843
- Big plans for the new show this new year.
- 00:18:06.843 --> 00:18:11.147
- Yeah, we want to take
- 00:18:11.147 --> 00:18:12.649
- All of you, our viewers around the world
- 00:18:12.649 --> 00:18:15.552
- To israel
- 00:18:15.552 --> 00:18:16.786
- To feel what's happening here, to hear the stories firsthand
- 00:18:16.786 --> 00:18:20.490
- So that you can pray for the situation on a personal level.
- 00:18:20.490 --> 00:18:24.561
- God wants us to be personal.
- 00:18:24.561 --> 00:18:26.296
- We believe that this year, the year of 2025, will bring
- 00:18:26.296 --> 00:18:30.733
- Unimaginable peace to this region,
- 00:18:30.733 --> 00:18:33.870
- To the middle east, and to the entire world.
- 00:18:33.870 --> 00:18:35.939
- And only god can do that.
- 00:18:35.939 --> 00:18:37.340
- It's unlike any other show,
- 00:18:37.340 --> 00:18:38.741
- The on the ground boots on the ground perspective.
- 00:18:38.741 --> 00:18:41.411
- Good friend aya pinto, our tv and israel
- 00:18:41.411 --> 00:18:43.413
- Correspondent, host of boots on the ground,
- 00:18:43.413 --> 00:18:45.682
- Along with our good friend marty shoshone.
- 00:18:45.682 --> 00:18:47.850
- Yeah, god bless you, my friend.
- 00:18:47.850 --> 00:18:49.385
- We look forward
- 00:18:49.385 --> 00:18:50.453
- To having you back here on a regular basis in 2025
- 00:18:50.453 --> 00:18:53.890
- To tell us how god is moving in his land.
- 00:18:53.890 --> 00:18:56.793
- God bless my friend.
- 00:18:56.793 --> 00:18:57.860
- We will see you again soon.
- 00:18:57.860 --> 00:18:59.028
- And coming up after the break,
- 00:18:59.028 --> 00:19:00.163
- More on the state of play in the middle east in 2025.
- 00:19:00.163 --> 00:19:05.668
- I'm going to unpack it a bit more,
- 00:19:05.668 --> 00:19:07.403
- Especially iran's nuclear program
- 00:19:07.403 --> 00:19:10.607
- And why that could be a prophetic moment of reckoning.
- 00:19:10.607 --> 00:19:14.644
- That's coming up after the break. stick around.
- 00:19:14.644 --> 00:19:20.003
- That's coming up after the break. stick around.
- 00:19:20.003 --> 00:19:23.083
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:19:23.850 --> 00:19:25.252
- We're talking about the big stories
- 00:19:25.252 --> 00:19:26.920
- That are going to
- 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:28.121
- Hit the middle east in 2025 and how they impact america.
- 00:19:28.121 --> 00:19:31.258
- I've got four and will leave the most important for last.
- 00:19:31.258 --> 00:19:34.961
- But let's start with one that i am watching very closely.
- 00:19:34.961 --> 00:19:38.098
- Syria and afghanistan, what happens in these two countries?
- 00:19:38.098 --> 00:19:41.801
- Do they become god forbid, terror incubators once again?
- 00:19:41.801 --> 00:19:45.572
- Remember, the biden administration
- 00:19:45.572 --> 00:19:47.440
- Disastrously withdrew from afghanistan in august 2021,
- 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:51.578
- Left that country in the hands of the taliban and now syria.
- 00:19:51.578 --> 00:19:55.582
- We've got new al qaida linked islamic jihadist rulers there.
- 00:19:55.582 --> 00:20:00.120
- Could we see these two countries
- 00:20:00.120 --> 00:20:01.821
- Become home to terror training camps once again?
- 00:20:01.821 --> 00:20:05.225
- Syria under isis control a few years ago was a place
- 00:20:05.225 --> 00:20:09.095
- Where americans and europeans
- 00:20:09.095 --> 00:20:10.597
- Would travel to train and folks then they returned back here.
- 00:20:10.597 --> 00:20:14.634
- And when they do, all bets are off.
- 00:20:14.634 --> 00:20:16.903
- I'm also watching our porous southern border.
- 00:20:16.903 --> 00:20:19.506
- And you have to believe that, unfortunately,
- 00:20:19.506 --> 00:20:21.708
- Some terrorist elements
- 00:20:21.708 --> 00:20:23.243
- Have crossed under joe biden's watch these past four years.
- 00:20:23.243 --> 00:20:26.413
- So we're watching the terror incubators, number one.
- 00:20:26.413 --> 00:20:28.581
- Number two, the houthis in yemen.
- 00:20:28.581 --> 00:20:31.117
- Israel going toe to toe with them right now.
- 00:20:31.117 --> 00:20:34.020
- But what will donald trump do when he comes into office
- 00:20:34.020 --> 00:20:36.856
- On january 20th?
- 00:20:36.856 --> 00:20:37.924
- Will there be a coalition between the u.s.
- 00:20:37.924 --> 00:20:40.360
- And israel
- 00:20:40.360 --> 00:20:41.394
- To eliminate the houthi threat once and for all?
- 00:20:41.394 --> 00:20:43.229
- Number three,
- 00:20:43.229 --> 00:20:44.331
- The abraham accords back on with president trump.
- 00:20:44.331 --> 00:20:47.400
- And folks, i think
- 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:48.435
- There is a very good chance
- 00:20:48.435 --> 00:20:49.636
- We will see a peace treaty between israel and saudi arabia.
- 00:20:49.636 --> 00:20:54.240
- Talk about prophetic.
- 00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:55.475
- That's coming.
- 00:20:55.475 --> 00:20:56.710
- And number four, the big one that i mentioned, i believe 2025
- 00:20:56.710 --> 00:20:59.946
- Will be the year of reckoning for iran's nuclear program.
- 00:20:59.946 --> 00:21:04.050
- Right now, israel has smashed that iranian ring of fire.
- 00:21:04.050 --> 00:21:08.655
- It has eliminated iran's air defenses.
- 00:21:08.655 --> 00:21:11.725
- So israel essentially has a clear path right now
- 00:21:11.725 --> 00:21:14.761
- To iran's nuclear sites if it chooses to strike them.
- 00:21:14.761 --> 00:21:18.865
- And i believe there will be a very good chance
- 00:21:18.865 --> 00:21:20.667
- That israel does exactly that, that it takes advantage
- 00:21:20.667 --> 00:21:23.703
- Of this golden opportunity in 2025, especially
- 00:21:23.703 --> 00:21:27.307
- With a very supportive donald trump returning to office.
- 00:21:27.307 --> 00:21:30.777
- Fasten your seatbelts.
- 00:21:30.777 --> 00:21:31.845
- The other element here, of course, is does iran
- 00:21:31.845 --> 00:21:35.148
- Try to speed up the process and race to finishing the bomb
- 00:21:35.148 --> 00:21:39.285
- Before israel can strike folks again?
- 00:21:39.285 --> 00:21:42.489
- This is the year
- 00:21:42.489 --> 00:21:43.690
- Of reckoning for this long running iranian nuclear crisis.
- 00:21:43.690 --> 00:21:47.494
- Keep it all in prayer, number one.
- 00:21:47.494 --> 00:21:48.962
- And number two,
- 00:21:48.962 --> 00:21:50.130
- If you want to hear
- 00:21:50.130 --> 00:21:51.064
