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 8, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | January 8, 2025
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:16.739 --> 00:00:18.241
- I'm erick stakelbeck and the shift is already underway.
- 00:00:18.241 --> 00:00:23.246
- It began back on july 13th when god spared
- 00:00:23.246 --> 00:00:26.716
- Donald trump's life in butler, pennsylvania.
- 00:00:26.716 --> 00:00:30.086
- Folks, no other way to describe it.
- 00:00:30.086 --> 00:00:32.055
- Surviving that assassination attempt.
- 00:00:32.055 --> 00:00:34.557
- Turning his head
- 00:00:34.557 --> 00:00:35.692
- Slightly at the last possible moment was a miracle.
- 00:00:35.692 --> 00:00:39.829
- Something shifted on that day.
- 00:00:39.829 --> 00:00:42.699
- God moved and momentum continued to build for trump's campaign
- 00:00:42.699 --> 00:00:47.871
- All the way up to november 5th, when he won a resounding
- 00:00:47.871 --> 00:00:51.841
- Electoral win that solidified the shift.
- 00:00:51.841 --> 00:00:55.478
- It was made official earlier this week when trump's victory
- 00:00:55.478 --> 00:00:58.681
- Was certified by congress.
- 00:00:58.681 --> 00:01:00.817
- And in just 12 days when trump takes office
- 00:01:00.817 --> 00:01:03.753
- On january 20th, the shift will really begin.
- 00:01:03.753 --> 00:01:07.757
- It's not just a shift for america.
- 00:01:07.757 --> 00:01:10.627
- I believe it's a shift
- 00:01:10.627 --> 00:01:11.928
- For the entire western world and for israel.
- 00:01:11.928 --> 00:01:15.331
- A growing number of people across the west are fed up
- 00:01:15.331 --> 00:01:19.002
- With the left wing, woke weak, open borders madness
- 00:01:19.002 --> 00:01:24.240
- That has damaged their countries for far too long.
- 00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:27.977
- They want to take their
- 00:01:27.977 --> 00:01:29.012
- Countries back and return sanity and security.
- 00:01:29.012 --> 00:01:33.249
- They want faith, family and freedom,
- 00:01:33.249 --> 00:01:36.886
- Not socialism, secularism and separation.
- 00:01:36.886 --> 00:01:41.024
- Trump personifies this longing,
- 00:01:41.024 --> 00:01:44.227
- And the trump effect was on full display
- 00:01:44.227 --> 00:01:47.030
- Yesterday during his press conference in mar a lago.
- 00:01:47.030 --> 00:01:50.533
- What we saw was an american leader
- 00:01:50.533 --> 00:01:53.503
- Who dares to think outside the box,
- 00:01:53.503 --> 00:01:56.973
- To think big, to advance american interests with the goal
- 00:01:56.973 --> 00:02:01.444
- Of restoring our place as leader of the free world.
- 00:02:01.444 --> 00:02:05.882
- Imagine that here was trump on potentially acquiring
- 00:02:05.882 --> 00:02:09.652
- Greenland, a large landmass off the coast
- 00:02:09.652 --> 00:02:12.689
- Of maine, rich in minerals and natural resources
- 00:02:12.689 --> 00:02:16.392
- That could be a vital national security asset
- 00:02:16.392 --> 00:02:20.163
- For the united states.
- 00:02:20.163 --> 00:02:22.632
- Well, we
- 00:02:22.632 --> 00:02:23.600
- Need greenland for national security purposes.
- 00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:26.035
- I've been told that for a long time, long before i even ran.
- 00:02:26.035 --> 00:02:29.405
- I mean, people have been talking about it for a long time.
- 00:02:29.405 --> 00:02:32.008
- You have approximately 45,000 people there.
- 00:02:32.008 --> 00:02:35.411
- People really don't even know if denmark has any legal right
- 00:02:35.411 --> 00:02:39.816
- To it.
- 00:02:39.816 --> 00:02:40.650
- But if they do, they should give it up
- 00:02:40.650 --> 00:02:42.118
- Because we need it for national security.
- 00:02:42.118 --> 00:02:43.987
- That's for the free world.
- 00:02:43.987 --> 00:02:45.054
- I'm talking about protecting the free world.
- 00:02:45.054 --> 00:02:47.257
- You look at.
- 00:02:47.257 --> 00:02:48.491
- You don't even need binoculars.
- 00:02:48.491 --> 00:02:50.293
- You look outside.
- 00:02:50.293 --> 00:02:51.227
- You have china ships all over the place.
- 00:02:51.227 --> 00:02:54.931
- You have russian ships all over the place.
- 00:02:54.931 --> 00:02:57.567
- We're not letting that happen.
- 00:02:57.567 --> 00:03:00.270
- It sounds like an audacious plan because it is.
- 00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:05.041
- A delegation visited greenland
- 00:03:05.041 --> 00:03:06.643
- Just yesterday, including his son, don jr
- 00:03:06.643 --> 00:03:09.445
- And charlie kirk, and they received a positive reception.
- 00:03:09.445 --> 00:03:13.583
- In the meantime, trump is also sounding the alarm
- 00:03:13.583 --> 00:03:16.552
- About the panama canal
- 00:03:16.552 --> 00:03:18.454
- And how america is getting the short end of the stick there.
- 00:03:18.454 --> 00:03:22.091
- Take a look.
- 00:03:22.091 --> 00:03:24.360
- Look,
- 00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:25.295
- The panama canal is vital to our country.
- 00:03:25.295 --> 00:03:28.531
- It's being operated by china.
- 00:03:28.531 --> 00:03:30.833
- China.
- 00:03:30.833 --> 00:03:32.168
- And we gave the panama canal to panama.
- 00:03:32.168 --> 00:03:34.370
- We didn't give it to china.
- 00:03:34.370 --> 00:03:36.239
- And they've abused it. they've abused that gift.
- 00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:38.474
- It should have never been made, by the way.
- 00:03:38.474 --> 00:03:40.343
- The panama canal is a disgrace
- 00:03:40.343 --> 00:03:42.211
- What took place at the panama canal.
- 00:03:42.211 --> 00:03:43.980
- They charge more for our ships
- 00:03:43.980 --> 00:03:45.481
- Than they charge for ships of other countries.
- 00:03:45.481 --> 00:03:48.084
- They charge more for our navy than they charge
- 00:03:48.084 --> 00:03:50.586
- For navies of other countries.
- 00:03:50.586 --> 00:03:52.555
- They laugh at us because they think we're stupid,
- 00:03:52.555 --> 00:03:55.591
- But we're not stupid anymore.
- 00:03:55.591 --> 00:03:57.927
- So the panama canal is under discussion with them right now.
- 00:03:57.927 --> 00:04:01.331
- They violated every aspect of the agreement.
- 00:04:01.331 --> 00:04:05.835
- That seems like common sense
- 00:04:05.835 --> 00:04:08.304
- In times where common sense is not so common.
- 00:04:08.304 --> 00:04:12.442
- Unlike our current left wing globalist administration,
- 00:04:12.442 --> 00:04:16.212
- Trump really does put america first as he should.
- 00:04:16.212 --> 00:04:21.351
- Just like the leaders of great britain, france, germany
- 00:04:21.351 --> 00:04:24.654
- And canada should put their country's best interest first.
- 00:04:24.654 --> 00:04:29.025
- Again, it's called leadership and patriotism.
- 00:04:29.025 --> 00:04:33.196
- Speaking of canada,
- 00:04:33.196 --> 00:04:34.530
- We saw the trump effect in full effect earlier this week
- 00:04:34.530 --> 00:04:38.434
- When prime minister justin
- 00:04:38.434 --> 00:04:39.902
- Trudeau announced his resignation,
- 00:04:39.902 --> 00:04:42.071
- And a big reason for his political
- 00:04:42.071 --> 00:04:44.006
- Demise was donald trump's declaration that he would push
- 00:04:44.006 --> 00:04:48.111
- For fair trade with canada once he takes office.
- 00:04:48.111 --> 00:04:51.914
- Much to trudeau's dismay, the gravy train is over.
- 00:04:51.914 --> 00:04:57.153
- Here's more.
- 00:04:57.153 --> 00:04:58.688
- We don't need anything they have.
- 00:04:58.688 --> 00:05:00.556
- We don't need their dairy products.
- 00:05:00.556 --> 00:05:01.991
- We have more than they have.
- 00:05:01.991 --> 00:05:03.626
- We don't need anything.
- 00:05:03.626 --> 00:05:04.694
- So why are we losing $200 billion a year and more
- 00:05:04.694 --> 00:05:08.798
- To protect canada?
- 00:05:08.798 --> 00:05:10.233
- And i said that to as i called him governor trudeau.
- 00:05:10.233 --> 00:05:13.803
- I said, listen,
- 00:05:13.803 --> 00:05:15.004
- What would happen if we didn't subsidize you if we didn't?
- 00:05:15.004 --> 00:05:18.441
- Because we give them a lot of money?
- 00:05:18.441 --> 00:05:19.842
- Why are we supporting a country
- 00:05:19.842 --> 00:05:24.180
- 200 billion plus a year?
- 00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:27.116
- Our military is at their disposal.
- 00:05:27.116 --> 00:05:29.252
- All of these other things. they should be a state.
- 00:05:29.252 --> 00:05:32.155
- That's why i told trudeau when he came down,
- 00:05:32.155 --> 00:05:33.923
- I said, what would happen if we didn't do it?
- 00:05:33.923 --> 00:05:36.559
- Now, i do think trump is doing a bit of trolling
- 00:05:36.559 --> 00:05:39.729
- When he talks about canada becoming the 51st state,
- 00:05:39.729 --> 00:05:42.765
- But there is meaning behind his message.
- 00:05:42.765 --> 00:05:46.102
- He's telling canada
- 00:05:46.102 --> 00:05:47.236
- With a bit of teasing that it will not get a free ride
- 00:05:47.236 --> 00:05:51.340
- And that from now on, trade and economic deals
- 00:05:51.340 --> 00:05:54.343
- Between our two nations will be on a level playing field.
- 00:05:54.343 --> 00:05:58.648
- America will no longer be taken advantage of and walked
- 00:05:58.648 --> 00:06:02.852
- All over in our dealings with other countries
- 00:06:02.852 --> 00:06:05.855
- Or with bloodthirsty terrorists.
- 00:06:05.855 --> 00:06:09.425
- During tuesday's
- 00:06:09.425 --> 00:06:10.526
- Press conference, trump reiterated his threat to hamas
- 00:06:10.526 --> 00:06:14.163
- To release
- 00:06:14.163 --> 00:06:15.398
- The seven american hostages that it still holds in captivity.
- 00:06:15.398 --> 00:06:19.502
- Or else
- 00:06:19.502 --> 00:06:22.038
- All hell will break out if those hostages aren't back.
- 00:06:22.038 --> 00:06:25.641
- I don't want to hurt your negotiation.
- 00:06:25.641 --> 00:06:28.244
- If they're not back, by the time i get into office,
- 00:06:28.244 --> 00:06:30.947
- All hell will break out in the middle east
- 00:06:30.947 --> 00:06:34.116
- And it will not be good for hamas
- 00:06:34.116 --> 00:06:36.652
- And it will not be good, frankly, for anyone.
- 00:06:36.652 --> 00:06:38.554
- All hell will break out.
- 00:06:38.554 --> 00:06:39.889
- I don't have to say anymore. but that's what it is.
- 00:06:39.889 --> 00:06:42.124
- And they should have given them back a long time.
- 00:06:42.124 --> 00:06:43.659
- They should have never taken
- 00:06:43.659 --> 00:06:45.495
- They should have never been the attack of october 7th.
- 00:06:45.495 --> 00:06:48.064
- People forget that.
- 00:06:48.064 --> 00:06:50.633
- Folks.
- 00:06:50.633 --> 00:06:51.734
- I think back to january 20th, 1981, when ronald reagan
- 00:06:51.734 --> 00:06:55.838
- Was inaugurated and iran released 52 american hostages.
- 00:06:55.838 --> 00:07:00.276
- On that very same day, trump will be inaugurated,
- 00:07:00.276 --> 00:07:04.146
- 44 years later on the exact same date as reagan.
- 00:07:04.146 --> 00:07:08.851
- So let's pray for a similar release with the hamas captives.
- 00:07:08.851 --> 00:07:13.856
- I'll break down the state of play in israel
- 00:07:13.856 --> 00:07:15.958
- And the middle east a bit later in the show.
- 00:07:15.958 --> 00:07:18.060
- But the bottom line is this donald trump
- 00:07:18.060 --> 00:07:21.230
- Has a bold vision for america and the world.
- 00:07:21.230 --> 00:07:24.634
- And signs of the shift are already apparent
- 00:07:24.634 --> 00:07:28.337
- Not only in canada, but in europe as well,
- 00:07:28.337 --> 00:07:31.474
- Thanks in large part to elon musk.
- 00:07:31.474 --> 00:07:34.377
- We'll break down his impact
- 00:07:34.377 --> 00:07:36.212
- And some very big changes at facebook after the break.
- 00:07:36.212 --> 00:07:40.783
- Stick around.
- 00:07:40.783 --> 00:07:45.003
- Stick around.
- 00:07:45.003 --> 00:07:47.961
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:07:48.728 --> 00:07:50.063
- We're talking about the shift in america and the world
- 00:07:50.063 --> 00:07:53.967
- Now that donald trump is taking office once again.
- 00:07:53.967 --> 00:07:56.403
- Folks, i believe this is a positive shift
- 00:07:56.403 --> 00:07:59.472
- And that god is moving in the gospel of luke.
- 00:07:59.472 --> 00:08:02.642
- Jesus said there is nothing hidden
- 00:08:02.642 --> 00:08:04.978
- That will not be disclosed and nothing can sealed
- 00:08:04.978 --> 00:08:08.648
- That will not be known or brought out into the open.
- 00:08:08.648 --> 00:08:12.218
- That's part of the shift with weak, corrupt
- 00:08:12.218 --> 00:08:15.522
- Leaders toppled and evil expose.
- 00:08:15.522 --> 00:08:18.558
- Look no further than great britain.
- 00:08:18.558 --> 00:08:21.294
- On last night's show, i told you about the absolutely demonic
- 00:08:21.294 --> 00:08:25.465
- Pakistani muslim rape gangs that have raped and brutalized
- 00:08:25.465 --> 00:08:29.703
- Thousands of british girls over the past several decades.
- 00:08:29.703 --> 00:08:33.506
- It's a horrifying, shocking story
- 00:08:33.506 --> 00:08:36.409
- That was swept under the rug by british politicians,
- 00:08:36.409 --> 00:08:40.013
- Law enforcement and the mainstream media for years.
- 00:08:40.013 --> 00:08:43.516
- People who spoke out
- 00:08:43.516 --> 00:08:44.751
- Against the rape gangs and demanded justice
- 00:08:44.751 --> 00:08:47.754
- Were dismissed as islamophobes and far right extremists.
- 00:08:47.754 --> 00:08:52.926
- Well, the tide is now shifting and there is growing pressure
- 00:08:52.926 --> 00:08:57.063
- On the british government
- 00:08:57.063 --> 00:08:58.298
- To have a full blown national inquiry
- 00:08:58.298 --> 00:09:01.501
- Into how the muslim rape gangs were permitted to operate
- 00:09:01.501 --> 00:09:05.905
- And to destroy the lives of countless young girls.
- 00:09:05.905 --> 00:09:09.709
- The pressure comes, thanks in large part to elon musk
- 00:09:09.709 --> 00:09:13.146
- And an army of journalists exposing the story on musk's
- 00:09:13.146 --> 00:09:17.183
- Social media platform x, formerly known as twitter.
- 00:09:17.183 --> 00:09:21.488
- More on the musk effect in a minute.
- 00:09:21.488 --> 00:09:24.024
- In the meantime, here's the brilliant
- 00:09:24.024 --> 00:09:26.526
- Jordan peterson with a wakeup call for the uk.
- 00:09:26.526 --> 00:09:31.698
- Is well has put canada in the doldrums that it's in
- 00:09:31.698 --> 00:09:35.135
- And is also responsible for the state of your country,
- 00:09:35.135 --> 00:09:38.338
- Which is dreadful.
- 00:09:38.338 --> 00:09:39.739
- And it's i don't know if you guys in the uk understand
- 00:09:39.739 --> 00:09:43.410
- How sad it is for us in canada and in the united states
- 00:09:43.410 --> 00:09:47.614
- To watch what you're doing to yourself.
- 00:09:47.614 --> 00:09:50.116
- I mean, the uk is a great country.
- 00:09:50.116 --> 00:09:53.053
- When i go there, i go to oxford, i go to to cambridge, to these
- 00:09:53.053 --> 00:09:57.257
- To these remarkable places in london.
- 00:09:57.257 --> 00:09:59.259
- See your unbelievable deep history.
- 00:09:59.259 --> 00:10:01.461
- Understand how much the world owes
- 00:10:01.461 --> 00:10:04.464
- The uk in terms of, say, the establishment of common law
- 00:10:04.464 --> 00:10:07.967
- And decent government everywhere,
- 00:10:07.967 --> 00:10:09.569
- Including places like india.
- 00:10:09.569 --> 00:10:11.337
- We owe the uk such an immense debt.
- 00:10:11.337 --> 00:10:13.973
- And to watch you guys like spiral yourselves
- 00:10:13.973 --> 00:10:17.711
- Into the ground for these
- 00:10:17.711 --> 00:10:19.045
- For this idiot we political correctness
- 00:10:19.045 --> 00:10:22.015
- That's gone so far that you can allow
- 00:10:22.015 --> 00:10:24.484
- Your working class women to be raped en masse
- 00:10:24.484 --> 00:10:28.154
- Sadistically and say nothing about it
- 00:10:28.154 --> 00:10:30.790
- And gaslight people who are telling the truth.
- 00:10:30.790 --> 00:10:33.326
- It's it's so sickening.
- 00:10:33.326 --> 00:10:34.961
- It's so demoralizing.
- 00:10:34.961 --> 00:10:36.229
- It's it's almost unspeakable.
- 00:10:36.229 --> 00:10:38.264
- We all pray, hope and pray here in canada and the u.s.
- 00:10:38.264 --> 00:10:41.701
- That you get your act together and grow some spine again and
- 00:10:41.701 --> 00:10:45.705
- Put your country back together and stand up to these
- 00:10:45.705 --> 00:10:49.375
- Bloody psychopathic bullies and the woke green mob
- 00:10:49.375 --> 00:10:53.680
- Because it would be a dreadful shame to lose you.
- 00:10:53.680 --> 00:10:58.485
- Amen.
- 00:10:58.485 --> 00:10:59.619
- On last night's show, i issued a similar call to action
- 00:10:59.619 --> 00:11:02.756
- And wake up call for the uk.
- 00:11:02.756 --> 00:11:05.158
- If you missed it, you can watch it on tbn.
- 00:11:05.158 --> 00:11:07.594
- Plus along with every episode of stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:11:07.594 --> 00:11:10.330
- Who knows?
- 00:11:10.330 --> 00:11:11.397
- The muslim rape gang scandal may eventually lead
- 00:11:11.397 --> 00:11:14.601
- To the downfall of the current left wing british government.
- 00:11:14.601 --> 00:11:17.937
- Remember, prime minister keir
- 00:11:17.937 --> 00:11:19.873
- Starmer was head of britain's crown prosecution service
- 00:11:19.873 --> 00:11:23.777
- From 2008 to 2013, when much of this
- 00:11:23.777 --> 00:11:27.380
- Demonic activity took place and when far too
- 00:11:27.380 --> 00:11:30.950
- Few of these muslim rape gangs faced justice.
- 00:11:30.950 --> 00:11:34.854
- Starmer's downfall would certainly further
- 00:11:34.854 --> 00:11:37.056
- The shift that we've been talking about.
- 00:11:37.056 --> 00:11:39.592
- Now, i mentioned elon musk.
- 00:11:39.592 --> 00:11:41.361
- I believe his platform x
- 00:11:41.361 --> 00:11:43.296
- Turn the tide of the election here in the united states
- 00:11:43.296 --> 00:11:46.232
- Because it is a truly open platform
- 00:11:46.232 --> 00:11:49.235
- Where ideas are exchanged freely without censorship.
- 00:11:49.235 --> 00:11:53.907
- That has not been the case on other social media
- 00:11:53.907 --> 00:11:57.110
- Platforms, including facebook or metta,
- 00:11:57.110 --> 00:12:00.413
- Which have been left wing cancel culture mouthpieces.
- 00:12:00.413 --> 00:12:04.350
- But we are now seeing the shift among these tech giants to
- 00:12:04.350 --> 00:12:08.354
- Meet us ceo mark zuckerberg taking a page out of musk's book
- 00:12:08.354 --> 00:12:12.625
- And seeing which way the winds are blowing,
- 00:12:12.625 --> 00:12:15.195
- Said this week that he is restoring free
- 00:12:15.195 --> 00:12:18.231
- Speech to his platform about time.
- 00:12:18.231 --> 00:12:21.267
- Take a look.
- 00:12:21.267 --> 00:12:23.970
- The recent elections also feel like a cultural
- 00:12:23.970 --> 00:12:26.306
- Tipping point towards once again prioritizing speech.
- 00:12:26.306 --> 00:12:29.676
- So we're gonna get back to our roots
- 00:12:29.676 --> 00:12:31.344
- And focus on reducing mistakes.
- 00:12:31.344 --> 00:12:33.446
- Simplifying our policies and restoring free expression
- 00:12:33.446 --> 00:12:36.749
- On our platforms.
- 00:12:36.749 --> 00:12:39.819
- I've said that president trump needs to take after the biblical
- 00:12:39.819 --> 00:12:42.989
- King josiah and tear down the high places.
- 00:12:42.989 --> 00:12:46.893
- One of them has been cancel culture and the censorship
- 00:12:46.893 --> 00:12:50.997
- Of conservative and christian viewpoints.
- 00:12:50.997 --> 00:12:53.466
- And that spirit of censorship is now shifting
- 00:12:53.466 --> 00:12:57.070
- Before our very eyes.
- 00:12:57.070 --> 00:12:59.172
- Thank god. so is the middle east.
- 00:12:59.172 --> 00:13:02.876
- Coming up next, i'll break down why things may be looking up
- 00:13:02.876 --> 00:13:06.145
- For the first time in a long time
- 00:13:06.145 --> 00:13:08.715
- In the world's most chaotic and strategic region.
- 00:13:08.715 --> 00:13:11.985
- And why israel is in a great position.
- 00:13:11.985 --> 00:13:15.088
- Don't move.
- 00:13:15.088 --> 00:13:17.012
- Don't move.
- 00:13:17.012 --> 00:13:19.535
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:13:20.303 --> 00:13:21.905
- We've been talking
- 00:13:21.905 --> 00:13:22.872
- About the shift taking place here in america
- 00:13:22.872 --> 00:13:24.607
- And around the world with donald trump
- 00:13:24.607 --> 00:13:26.409
- Set to retake office on january 20th.
- 00:13:26.409 --> 00:13:29.512
- Well, that shift also extends to the middle east and israel.
- 00:13:29.512 --> 00:13:34.217
- And i would argue it really began pivotal date
- 00:13:34.217 --> 00:13:37.287
- Here, folks, on september 17th, 2024.
- 00:13:37.287 --> 00:13:40.890
- It was on that very day when israel carried out
- 00:13:40.890 --> 00:13:44.060
- What i call operation exploding pager, wounding
- 00:13:44.060 --> 00:13:48.665
- Or killing thousands of hezbollah terrorists in lebanon.
- 00:13:48.665 --> 00:13:52.802
- And after that, it was full steam ahead.
- 00:13:52.802 --> 00:13:54.804
- Israel eliminated hezbollah's entire leadership, including
- 00:13:54.804 --> 00:13:58.875
- Sheikh hassan nasrallah, and invaded southern lebanon,
- 00:13:58.875 --> 00:14:02.445
- Where it cleared out the absolute hornet's
- 00:14:02.445 --> 00:14:04.814
- Nest of hezbollah terror infrastructure
- 00:14:04.814 --> 00:14:07.817
- That had been pressing up
- 00:14:07.817 --> 00:14:09.252
- Against israel's northern border.
- 00:14:09.252 --> 00:14:11.254
- So hezbollah, the crown jewel of all of iran's
- 00:14:11.254 --> 00:14:15.625
- Proxies, of its ring of fire, was suddenly largely
- 00:14:15.625 --> 00:14:19.495
- Out of commission.
- 00:14:19.495 --> 00:14:20.596
- And according to various
- 00:14:20.596 --> 00:14:21.731
- Estimates, hezbollah is only at about 20%
- 00:14:21.731 --> 00:14:25.668
- Of what it had been in terms of fighting capability
- 00:14:25.668 --> 00:14:29.172
- Before israel decided to go all in on september 17.
- 00:14:29.172 --> 00:14:33.643
- So that was a pivotal date.
- 00:14:33.643 --> 00:14:35.445
- Hezbollah largely smashed hamas in gaza
- 00:14:35.445 --> 00:14:39.582
- In its death throes, basically still lethal, but basically
- 00:14:39.582 --> 00:14:43.286
- A guerrilla ragtag bunch
- 00:14:43.286 --> 00:14:46.022
- Right now in gaza as the idf continues to mop up there.
- 00:14:46.022 --> 00:14:49.993
- Then we have the assad regime in syria.
- 00:14:49.993 --> 00:14:53.062
- If hezbollah was the crown jewel of iran's ring of fire,
- 00:14:53.062 --> 00:14:56.366
- Then certainly assad
- 00:14:56.366 --> 00:14:57.900
- Was one a in that pecking order, but he's gone.
- 00:14:57.900 --> 00:15:01.971
- The assad regime collapsed on december 7th.
- 00:15:01.971 --> 00:15:04.307
- He fled to russia, where he is now living in exile.
- 00:15:04.307 --> 00:15:07.844
- We have a new jihadi government there
- 00:15:07.844 --> 00:15:09.946
- Which could pose a danger in the not so distant future.
- 00:15:09.946 --> 00:15:13.116
- And we'll talk about that in future episodes of the show.
- 00:15:13.116 --> 00:15:16.119
- But in the meantime, folks, big takeaway here.
- 00:15:16.119 --> 00:15:18.755
- The iranian ring of fire is now essentially a smoldering
- 00:15:18.755 --> 00:15:22.992
- Heap of ruins, whether it's gaza, lebanon, syria.
- 00:15:22.992 --> 00:15:27.230
- Now, the iran backed militias in iraq are also stepping back
- 00:15:27.230 --> 00:15:30.867
- And saying, hey, we've decided not to attack israel any more.
- 00:15:30.867 --> 00:15:35.471
- But then we have the houthis in yemen.
- 00:15:35.471 --> 00:15:37.607
- They're essentially the last man standing.
- 00:15:37.607 --> 00:15:40.743
- They continue to launch
- 00:15:40.743 --> 00:15:42.045
- Ballistic missiles and drones at israel.
- 00:15:42.045 --> 00:15:45.381
- Israel has, number one, struck back and struck back hard.
- 00:15:45.381 --> 00:15:49.185
- And number two, israel is now talking about
- 00:15:49.185 --> 00:15:52.121
- Taking further action against the houthis.
- 00:15:52.121 --> 00:15:55.258
- That includes potentially targeting the houthi leadership.
- 00:15:55.258 --> 00:15:59.662
- He was prime minister
- 00:15:59.662 --> 00:16:00.897
- Netanyahu talking about that hooty threat.
- 00:16:00.897 --> 00:16:03.933
- Take a look.
- 00:16:03.933 --> 00:16:06.302
- There.
- 00:16:06.302 --> 00:16:07.170
- A lot of feedback tunnel and document
- 00:16:07.170 --> 00:16:08.671
- The document that the west side by sa benjamin
- 00:16:08.671 --> 00:16:12.942
- Cecil point thing the shooting reportedly monocular.
- 00:16:12.942 --> 00:16:16.145
- I've been a little bit cooler
- 00:16:16.145 --> 00:16:18.181
- I mean they cut him off
- 00:16:18.181 --> 00:16:19.315
- And even though they do the marketing of hamas hezbollah
- 00:16:19.315 --> 00:16:24.253
- Mustafa said basically a a whole thing
- 00:16:24.253 --> 00:16:26.322
- Maybe came out as war on us and he shot me a this was in
- 00:16:26.322 --> 00:16:29.559
- Iran and little did they maybe do,
- 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:32.728
- But they took simply simple got to be saying mr.
- 00:16:32.728 --> 00:16:36.365
- Lerman kirk matthew covered build
- 00:16:36.365 --> 00:16:40.770
- Folks.
- 00:16:40.770 --> 00:16:41.637
- Another crucial thing to mention here
- 00:16:41.637 --> 00:16:42.538
- Vis a vis the houthis is donald trump.
- 00:16:42.538 --> 00:16:44.474
- Once again, we're talking shift
- 00:16:44.474 --> 00:16:46.209
- Coming back into office on january 20th.
- 00:16:46.209 --> 00:16:48.377
- And, you know, as bebe just said, that
- 00:16:48.377 --> 00:16:50.813
- He'll have something to say about the houthis
- 00:16:50.813 --> 00:16:52.782
- Because that threat doesn't just impact israel.
- 00:16:52.782 --> 00:16:56.119
- It impacts the entire world, including u.s.
- 00:16:56.119 --> 00:16:59.288
- Shipping.
- 00:16:59.288 --> 00:16:59.856
- Remember, donald trump
- 00:16:59.856 --> 00:17:01.090
- Is all about putting
- 00:17:01.090 --> 00:17:02.258
- American interests first, and that includes weakening
- 00:17:02.258 --> 00:17:05.461
- And hopefully destroying this demonic hooty terror threat.
- 00:17:05.461 --> 00:17:09.665
- Hey, in terms of the shift, also think about the approach
- 00:17:09.665 --> 00:17:12.935
- To the middle east.
- 00:17:12.935 --> 00:17:13.870
- We have the biden-harris administration,
- 00:17:13.870 --> 00:17:15.738
- Which relentlessly pressured israel
- 00:17:15.738 --> 00:17:18.040
- And then president trump, who will be very friendly
- 00:17:18.040 --> 00:17:20.443
- To the world's one and only jewish state.
- 00:17:20.443 --> 00:17:22.345
- That was crystalized earlier this week.
- 00:17:22.345 --> 00:17:24.580
- In an interview, secretary of state anthony blinken gave in
- 00:17:24.580 --> 00:17:27.984
- Which he rightfully called hamas out
- 00:17:27.984 --> 00:17:31.053
- But still found time to bash israel as well.
- 00:17:31.053 --> 00:17:34.524
- Take a look.
- 00:17:34.524 --> 00:17:36.559
- You hear virtually nothing
- 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:38.394
- From anyone since october 7th about hamas.
- 00:17:38.394 --> 00:17:42.165
- Why there hasn't been
- 00:17:42.165 --> 00:17:43.900
- A unanimous chorus around the world
- 00:17:43.900 --> 00:17:46.536
- For hamas to put down its weapons,
- 00:17:46.536 --> 00:17:48.204
- To give up the hostages, to surrender.
- 00:17:48.204 --> 00:17:51.274
- I don't know what the answer is to that.
- 00:17:51.274 --> 00:17:52.608
- Israel, on various occasions has offered safe passage
- 00:17:52.608 --> 00:17:55.678
- To hamas's leadership and fighters out of gaza.
- 00:17:55.678 --> 00:17:59.015
- Where is the world?
- 00:17:59.015 --> 00:18:00.183
- Where is the world in saying, yeah, do that, end this.
- 00:18:00.183 --> 00:18:02.785
- Stop the suffering of people that you brought on.
- 00:18:02.785 --> 00:18:05.855
- Now, again, that doesn't absolve israel
- 00:18:05.855 --> 00:18:08.224
- The way of its actions in conducting the war, but
- 00:18:08.224 --> 00:18:12.128
- I do have to question how it is we haven't seen a greater
- 00:18:12.128 --> 00:18:16.265
- Sustained condemnation and pressure on hamas
- 00:18:16.265 --> 00:18:19.368
- To stop what it started
- 00:18:19.368 --> 00:18:20.670
- And to end the suffering of people that it initiated.
- 00:18:20.670 --> 00:18:24.907
- My question is, where was this over the past
- 00:18:24.907 --> 00:18:27.944
- 15 months since the october seven massacre?
- 00:18:27.944 --> 00:18:30.580
- Finally, as blinken is leaving office, he calls out
- 00:18:30.580 --> 00:18:33.616
- Hamas and blames them rightly for the madness that's unfolded
- 00:18:33.616 --> 00:18:38.020
- In the middle east.
- 00:18:38.020 --> 00:18:38.788
- But of course,
- 00:18:38.788 --> 00:18:39.989
- He fits in that little dig against israel, saying
- 00:18:39.989 --> 00:18:42.959
- This is not, to quote, absolve israel from its conduct.
- 00:18:42.959 --> 00:18:46.862
- What conduct defending its people
- 00:18:46.862 --> 00:18:49.298
- And responding to the worst terror attack
- 00:18:49.298 --> 00:18:51.667
- Since the holocaust.
- 00:18:51.667 --> 00:18:52.868
- So you see it there, folks.
- 00:18:52.868 --> 00:18:54.503
- This schizophrenic policy towards israel
- 00:18:54.503 --> 00:18:57.974
- That's been in place under the current administration.
- 00:18:57.974 --> 00:19:00.409
- Again, thank god that will be out the window
- 00:19:00.409 --> 00:19:02.612
- When donald trump takes office in 12 short days.
- 00:19:02.612 --> 00:19:05.648
- Part of that is iran's nuclear weapons program.
- 00:19:05.648 --> 00:19:09.552
- I truly believe as we talk shift
- 00:19:09.552 --> 00:19:12.255
- 2025 will be the year of reckoning for that
- 00:19:12.255 --> 00:19:15.224
- Iranian nuclear program.
- 00:19:15.224 --> 00:19:16.592
- Either israel, with perhaps help from the united states,
- 00:19:16.592 --> 00:19:19.962
- Will strike and destroy those nuclear facilities
- 00:19:19.962 --> 00:19:23.232
- Or iran will break out and acquire the bomb.
- 00:19:23.232 --> 00:19:26.435
- Here's what donald trump had to say
- 00:19:26.435 --> 00:19:28.437
- About a potential israeli strike on those nuclear sites.
- 00:19:28.437 --> 00:19:33.542
- They asked
- 00:19:33.542 --> 00:19:34.777
- Him, what do you think about what do you think about iran?
- 00:19:34.777 --> 00:19:37.813
- Would you take iran?
- 00:19:37.813 --> 00:19:39.181
- And he goes, as long as they don't hit the nuclear stuff,
- 00:19:39.181 --> 00:19:43.753
- That's the thing you want ahead, right?
- 00:19:43.753 --> 00:19:46.489
- I said, i think he's got that one wrong.
- 00:19:46.489 --> 00:19:48.291
- Is that the what you're supposed to hit?
- 00:19:48.291 --> 00:19:50.593
- I mean, it's the most is the biggest risk we have.
- 00:19:50.593 --> 00:19:55.698
- You know, bibi's top adviser, ron dermer,
- 00:19:55.698 --> 00:19:58.100
- Who you've seen here on the show,
- 00:19:58.100 --> 00:19:59.368
- Recently met with president
- 00:19:59.368 --> 00:20:00.469
- Trump at mar a lago, and he reportedly came away
- 00:20:00.469 --> 00:20:03.306
- Very encouraged that donald trump would not stand
- 00:20:03.306 --> 00:20:06.242
- In the way of an israeli strike against iran's nuclear sites.
- 00:20:06.242 --> 00:20:09.879
- Not only that, perhaps a trump administration would participate
- 00:20:09.879 --> 00:20:13.215
- In some way either just with the green light
- 00:20:13.215 --> 00:20:15.418
- Or supplying israel with crucial armaments.
- 00:20:15.418 --> 00:20:18.120
- It needs to really make a dent in that iranian nuclear program,
- 00:20:18.120 --> 00:20:22.091
- Which again, is an existential threat to the state of israel.
- 00:20:22.091 --> 00:20:25.394
- But right now,
- 00:20:25.394 --> 00:20:26.462
- Israel truly has, i believe, a golden opportunity.
- 00:20:26.462 --> 00:20:30.166
- And i say that for two reasons.
- 00:20:30.166 --> 00:20:32.335
- Number one, that ring of fire, as i just laid out,
- 00:20:32.335 --> 00:20:34.770
- Has largely been smashed.
- 00:20:34.770 --> 00:20:36.539
- Israel doesn't have to look over its shoulder
- 00:20:36.539 --> 00:20:38.741
- At hamas and hezbollah and worry about barrages of missiles.
- 00:20:38.741 --> 00:20:42.078
- And number two, key point here,
- 00:20:42.078 --> 00:20:45.081
- Iran's air defenses were destroyed by israel
- 00:20:45.081 --> 00:20:48.851
- On october 26th, not to mention syria's air defenses as well.
- 00:20:48.851 --> 00:20:53.589
- Add it all up
- 00:20:53.589 --> 00:20:54.824
- And israel has a clear path across the middle east directly
- 00:20:54.824 --> 00:20:58.828
- To iran's nuclear weapons facilities if it chooses to act.
- 00:20:58.828 --> 00:21:02.932
- And folks, i believe there is a very good chance that it will.
- 00:21:02.932 --> 00:21:06.402
- The iranian regime
- 00:21:06.402 --> 00:21:07.536
- Has never been more vulnerable than it is right now,
- 00:21:07.536 --> 00:21:10.539
- And it's time for israel to take advantage, to push initiative
- 00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:14.577
- And take the middle east into a truly new era,
- 00:21:14.577 --> 00:21:18.414
- The ultimate shift in the world's most prophetic region.
- 00:21:18.414 --> 00:21:22.251
- Coming up, my final thoughts on the shift.
- 00:21:22.251 --> 00:21:24.854
- How it affects you and what comes next.
- 00:21:24.854 --> 00:21:27.390
- And how to pray. don't move.
- 00:21:27.390 --> 00:21:31.017
- And how to pray. don't move.
- 00:21:31.017 --> 00:21:34.262
- Welcome back to sstakelbeck tonight, folks.
- 00:21:35.130 --> 00:21:37.065
- As we wrap up here,
- 00:21:37.065 --> 00:21:38.066
- We've been talking about the
- 00:21:38.066 --> 00:21:39.200
- Shift again, america, europe, israel and beyond.
- 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:42.871
- I think this is a very positive thing.
- 00:21:42.871 --> 00:21:45.340
- I think it's a god thing.
- 00:21:45.340 --> 00:21:46.608
- I think it's a mighty move of god for such a time as this.
- 00:21:46.608 --> 00:21:50.345
- And what we're seeing and what's unfolding makes me
- 00:21:50.345 --> 00:21:53.481
- Think of the book of isaiah chapter 43, verse 19, where god
- 00:21:53.481 --> 00:21:57.852
- Almighty says, see, i am doing a new thing now.
- 00:21:57.852 --> 00:22:02.657
- What springs up? do you not perceive it?
- 00:22:02.657 --> 00:22:05.460
- I am making a way in the wilderness and streams
- 00:22:05.460 --> 00:22:09.631
- In the wasteland.
- 00:22:09.631 --> 00:22:10.799
- Something new is happening here.
- 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:13.234
- Yes, it's a shift.
- 00:22:13.234 --> 00:22:15.036
- So be optimistic, be encouraged.
- 00:22:15.036 --> 00:22:17.572
- Keep it all in prayer.
- 00:22:17.572 --> 00:22:18.740
- Because again,
- 00:22:18.740 --> 00:22:19.908
- The god of abraham, isaac and jacob is moving, folks.
- 00:22:19.908 --> 00:22:23.144
- In the meantime,
- 00:22:23.144 --> 00:22:24.212
- We pray for a shift right now in california.
- 00:22:24.212 --> 00:22:26.448
- Please keep the people in the los angeles
- 00:22:26.448 --> 00:22:29.584
- Area in your prayers.
- 00:22:29.584 --> 00:22:31.085
- Pacific palisades, malibu, those beautiful neighborhoods
- 00:22:31.085 --> 00:22:34.355
- Along the pacific coastline
- 00:22:34.355 --> 00:22:35.623
- Have been ravaged by wildfires over the past 24 hours.
- 00:22:35.623 --> 00:22:39.494
- Folks, people are evacuating.
- 00:22:39.494 --> 00:22:41.429
- Property has been destroyed.
- 00:22:41.429 --> 00:22:42.997
- Again, join our entire tbn family
- 00:22:42.997 --> 00:22:45.767
- In praying for the people affected by those horrific
- 00:22:45.767 --> 00:22:49.037
- California wildfires and for god's hedge
- 00:22:49.037 --> 00:22:52.073
- Of protection over them and that entire region.
- 00:22:52.073 --> 00:22:55.109
- Folks, tomorrow
- 00:22:55.109 --> 00:22:56.244
- We dig into the prophetic implications of the shift
- 00:22:56.244 --> 00:23:00.281
- With our good friend rick renner.
- 00:23:00.281 --> 00:23:02.550
- Are there similarities today to what we saw
- 00:23:02.550 --> 00:23:05.587
- In the time before noah's flood?
- 00:23:05.587 --> 00:23:08.790
- This is absolutely fascinating.
- 00:23:08.790 --> 00:23:10.859
- You will not want to miss it. that's tomorrow.
- 00:23:10.859 --> 00:23:12.827
- Then friday, we're taking you on the ground to the holy land,
- 00:23:12.827 --> 00:23:16.097
- To magdala, the birthplace of mary magdalene,
- 00:23:16.097 --> 00:23:18.800
- Where jesus once taught. you won't want to miss it.
- 00:23:18.800 --> 00:23:21.236
- Until tomorrow. god bless you.
- 00:23:21.236 --> 00:23:23.738
- And we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:23.738 --> 00:23:23.738
