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: March 12, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | March 12, 2025

Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
00:00:17.841 --> 00:00:19.342
I'm erick stakelbeck
00:00:19.342 --> 00:00:20.577
And i believe that when someone who is not a u.s.
00:00:20.577 --> 00:00:23.813
Citizen openly supports a terrorist
00:00:23.813 --> 00:00:26.883
Organization and incites violence on u.s.
00:00:26.883 --> 00:00:29.953
Soil, then he should be deported immediately.
00:00:29.953 --> 00:00:33.456
Folks, this isn't brain surgery.
00:00:33.456 --> 00:00:35.525
Anyone who's here in our country as a guest
00:00:35.525 --> 00:00:37.494
And then turns around and takes to the streets
00:00:37.494 --> 00:00:40.463
To support hamas, cheer on the october 7th massacre
00:00:40.463 --> 00:00:44.167
And harass jews shouldn't be here any longer.
00:00:44.167 --> 00:00:48.138
And yet, as you'll see in a moment, many on the left
00:00:48.138 --> 00:00:51.441
Don't feel that way.
00:00:51.441 --> 00:00:52.976
Which brings us to the new poster boy
00:00:52.976 --> 00:00:55.245
For the democrat party, mahmoud khalil.
00:00:55.245 --> 00:00:58.381
He's a palestinian
00:00:58.381 --> 00:00:59.716
Who was born in syria and whose reportedly here in the u.s.
00:00:59.716 --> 00:01:03.353
On a green card and a student visa.
00:01:03.353 --> 00:01:05.822
He attended graduate school at the university of columbia,
00:01:05.822 --> 00:01:08.892
Where he majored
00:01:08.892 --> 00:01:09.993
In public administration and minored in supporting
00:01:09.993 --> 00:01:13.830
A bloodthirsty terrorist group that hates americans and jews.
00:01:13.830 --> 00:01:18.268
According to the department of homeland security,
00:01:18.268 --> 00:01:20.603
Khalil led activities aligned to hamas,
00:01:20.603 --> 00:01:24.174
A designated terrorist organization.
00:01:24.174 --> 00:01:26.676
And white house officials say he's being investigated
00:01:26.676 --> 00:01:29.612
As a possible national security threat.
00:01:29.612 --> 00:01:32.315
That's why immigration authorities arrested
00:01:32.315 --> 00:01:34.584
Khalil last saturday and now plan to deport him.
00:01:34.584 --> 00:01:38.588
President trump has been very clear
00:01:38.588 --> 00:01:40.557
That any terrorist sympathizers on american soil
00:01:40.557 --> 00:01:43.893
Who are not u.s.
00:01:43.893 --> 00:01:45.061
Citizens will be deported immediately.
00:01:45.061 --> 00:01:48.331
The violent pro-hamas mobs that we've seen on
00:01:48.331 --> 00:01:51.167
College campuses physically attacking jewish students
00:01:51.167 --> 00:01:54.704
And calling for death
00:01:54.704 --> 00:01:55.905
To israel and america will no longer be tolerated.
00:01:55.905 --> 00:01:59.842
Mahmoud khalil came here to america as a guest
00:01:59.842 --> 00:02:03.546
And then turned around and helped lead the pro-hamas
00:02:03.546 --> 00:02:07.183
Rabble at columbia,
00:02:07.183 --> 00:02:08.618
Where he cheerlead for a terrorist group
00:02:08.618 --> 00:02:11.454
That has american blood on its hands
00:02:11.454 --> 00:02:13.957
And which is still holding at least one american hostage
00:02:13.957 --> 00:02:17.460
In gaza.
00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:18.695
Bottom line, mahmoud khalil, abuse the privilege of studying
00:02:18.695 --> 00:02:23.800
And living here in the united states as a guest.
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:26.903
So now he's about to be gone again.
00:02:26.903 --> 00:02:30.273
This isn't rocket science.
00:02:30.273 --> 00:02:32.275
President trump weighed in yesterday on mahmoud khalil.
00:02:32.275 --> 00:02:35.545
Take a look.
00:02:35.545 --> 00:02:37.780
I think we ought to get them all out of the country.
00:02:37.780 --> 00:02:39.949
They're troublemakers there, agitate.
00:02:39.949 --> 00:02:42.619
They don't love our country.
00:02:42.619 --> 00:02:43.720
We ought to get them the hell out.
00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:44.854
I think that guy. we ought to get him.
00:02:44.854 --> 00:02:46.189
I heard his statements, too. there were plenty.
00:02:46.189 --> 00:02:48.858
And i think we ought to get him the hell out of the country.
00:02:48.858 --> 00:02:51.561
I watched him.
00:02:51.561 --> 00:02:52.262
I watched tapes.
00:02:52.262 --> 00:02:53.162
Specifically, i watched tapes.
00:02:53.162 --> 00:02:55.498
And you can have them.
00:02:55.498 --> 00:02:58.301
Okay.
00:02:58.301 --> 00:02:59.369
You can have him and you can have the rest of them.
00:02:59.369 --> 00:03:01.738
Let him go to school. let them learn.
00:03:01.738 --> 00:03:03.273
Columbia used to be a good school.
00:03:03.273 --> 00:03:05.541
Now it's been overrun because of bad leadership.
00:03:05.541 --> 00:03:08.044
That's what happens.
00:03:08.044 --> 00:03:11.281
Now, earlier this week, president trump pulled $400
00:03:11.281 --> 00:03:14.584
Million in federal funding from columbia university
00:03:14.584 --> 00:03:18.254
Due to its failure to crack down on the anti-semitic,
00:03:18.254 --> 00:03:22.225
Anti-american madness that's taken hold on its campus.
00:03:22.225 --> 00:03:26.462
Just how bad did it get at columbia?
00:03:26.462 --> 00:03:29.432
You. here's
00:03:29.432 --> 00:03:30.566
House speaker mike johnson with a firsthand account.
00:03:30.566 --> 00:03:35.338
I went face down on the angry mob
00:03:35.338 --> 00:03:36.839
At columbia at the height of that stuff
00:03:36.839 --> 00:03:38.775
When when the pro-palestinian, pro-hamas protesters were there.
00:03:38.775 --> 00:03:43.112
I'm telling you, this is my own observation,
00:03:43.112 --> 00:03:44.881
Not something i read in a newspaper.
00:03:44.881 --> 00:03:46.215
It was dangerous.
00:03:46.215 --> 00:03:47.350
I met with jewish students before we went to campus
00:03:47.350 --> 00:03:49.819
Who were hauled away off campus because they were instructed
00:03:49.819 --> 00:03:52.455
By the administration not to come to class,
00:03:52.455 --> 00:03:54.757
Which they paid for, for fear of their physical safety.
00:03:54.757 --> 00:03:57.860
The administrators there refused
00:03:57.860 --> 00:03:59.962
To take control of that campus.
00:03:59.962 --> 00:04:01.230
They refused to allow the pd to come to the police department
00:04:01.230 --> 00:04:03.633
To come in and take control, and it turned into a chaos.
00:04:03.633 --> 00:04:07.470
The president has since been removed
00:04:07.470 --> 00:04:09.572
And now they've got the same problem again.
00:04:09.572 --> 00:04:11.341
If you're on a student visa, i'm going to say this clearly.
00:04:11.341 --> 00:04:14.010
If you were on a student visa and you're in america
00:04:14.010 --> 00:04:16.379
And you're an aspiring young terrorist
00:04:16.379 --> 00:04:17.880
Who wants to prey upon your jewish classmates,
00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:20.016
You're going home. we're going to arrest your
00:04:20.016 --> 00:04:23.519
Tail and we're going to send you home where you belong.
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.222
And that this is just getting started.
00:04:26.222 --> 00:04:30.393
Amen.
00:04:30.393 --> 00:04:31.260
Folks,
00:04:31.260 --> 00:04:31.627
Mahmoud khalil
00:04:31.627 --> 00:04:32.695
Was a ringleader of the evil that speaker johnson
00:04:32.695 --> 00:04:35.665
Just described.
00:04:35.665 --> 00:04:36.966
Yet a left wing federal judge in new york
00:04:36.966 --> 00:04:40.169
Has temporarily blocked khalil's deportation.
00:04:40.169 --> 00:04:43.573
And the democrat party is now up in arms defending him.
00:04:43.573 --> 00:04:47.176
The senate judiciary committee posted fremont booed khalil
00:04:47.176 --> 00:04:51.447
On its social media accounts
00:04:51.447 --> 00:04:53.316
And the second highest ranking democrat in the senate, dick
00:04:53.316 --> 00:04:56.486
Durbin, called khalil's arrest straight up authoritarianism.
00:04:56.486 --> 00:05:01.190
Meanwhile, 14 house
00:05:01.190 --> 00:05:02.892
Democrats signed a letter demanding carlisle's release.
00:05:02.892 --> 00:05:06.763
And here was the new beta male vice chairman of the democratic
00:05:06.763 --> 00:05:10.366
National committee, gnashing his teeth over
00:05:10.366 --> 00:05:13.403
Accountability for the terrorist sympathizer.
00:05:13.403 --> 00:05:17.640
Donald trump is trying to.
00:05:17.640 --> 00:05:18.775
Shut down young people and stop us from speaking out
00:05:18.775 --> 00:05:22.278
Because he, like all other authoritarians,
00:05:22.278 --> 00:05:24.414
Believe that they have to shut down
00:05:24.414 --> 00:05:26.249
Freedom of speech, freedom of expression.
00:05:26.249 --> 00:05:28.418
So that they can. rule like a king.
00:05:28.418 --> 00:05:31.053
In this country. we don't about a king's.
00:05:31.053 --> 00:05:35.525
These people are truly delusional.
00:05:35.525 --> 00:05:37.760
By the way, that was an f-bomb
00:05:37.760 --> 00:05:39.395
That we beeped out at the end there.
00:05:39.395 --> 00:05:41.164
Of course, it's amazing to me how passionate democrats are
00:05:41.164 --> 00:05:45.301
About defending a hamas supporter, yet
00:05:45.301 --> 00:05:48.337
They barely mention the hostages that are still being held
00:05:48.337 --> 00:05:52.141
In hamas captivity.
00:05:52.141 --> 00:05:53.776
And last week at president trump's speech to congress,
00:05:53.776 --> 00:05:56.345
They couldn't
00:05:56.345 --> 00:05:56.879
Even bring themselves
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.047
To stand for a 13 year old kid who survived brain cancer
00:05:58.047 --> 00:06:01.784
Or family members of people murdered by illegal aliens.
00:06:01.784 --> 00:06:06.222
You know, we've quoted the book of isaiah chapter
00:06:06.222 --> 00:06:08.491
Five, verse 20 many times here on the show.
00:06:08.491 --> 00:06:11.661
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness
00:06:11.661 --> 00:06:17.166
For light and light for darkness, who put bitter
00:06:17.166 --> 00:06:20.403
For sweet and sweet for bitter.
00:06:20.403 --> 00:06:23.406
You know, the left should really examine
00:06:23.406 --> 00:06:25.708
Those words and take a hard look in the mirror.
00:06:25.708 --> 00:06:29.312
Charlie kirk has been shining a light
00:06:29.312 --> 00:06:31.614
Into the darkness of the left for years.
00:06:31.614 --> 00:06:34.083
He joins me
00:06:34.083 --> 00:06:35.284
With the inside story on how the tide is turning in america
00:06:35.284 --> 00:06:38.955
After the break. stick around.
00:06:38.955 --> 00:06:43.009
After the break. stick around.
00:06:43.009 --> 00:06:46.263
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks,
00:06:47.164 --> 00:06:49.166
We are in a struggle for the soul of our nation.
00:06:49.166 --> 00:06:52.402
Needless to say, this is no time to mince words.
00:06:52.402 --> 00:06:56.440
That's why it was great to catch up with our friend
00:06:56.440 --> 00:06:58.308
Charlie kirk recently here in dallas.
00:06:58.308 --> 00:07:01.044
He's the founder and president of turning point usa
00:07:01.044 --> 00:07:03.814
And host of charlie kirk today, which you can watch right here
00:07:03.814 --> 00:07:06.884
On tbn every weeknight at 6:30 p.m.
00:07:06.884 --> 00:07:10.087
Eastern time.
00:07:10.087 --> 00:07:11.154
What was it like for charlie to sit down recently
00:07:11.154 --> 00:07:14.258
With california's slippery leftist governor, gavin newsom?
00:07:14.258 --> 00:07:18.262
What's the state of america under president trump,
00:07:18.262 --> 00:07:20.998
And where does the left go from here?
00:07:20.998 --> 00:07:23.734
Here's my exclusive interview with charlie kirk.
00:07:23.734 --> 00:07:28.705
Charlie, you're here at the pro-life
00:07:28.705 --> 00:07:30.173
Fintech, big launch and roll out of texas,
00:07:30.173 --> 00:07:32.643
But you just returned from california.
00:07:32.643 --> 00:07:35.145
We had a very interesting
00:07:35.145 --> 00:07:36.446
Meeting with none
00:07:36.446 --> 00:07:37.581
Other than gavin newsom that charlie that's gone viral.
00:07:37.581 --> 00:07:42.152
Some of the highlights from that interview,
00:07:42.152 --> 00:07:43.887
I guess
00:07:43.887 --> 00:07:45.122
The most viral clip is newsom saying that he suddenly does
00:07:45.122 --> 00:07:47.391
Not support men and women's sports.
00:07:47.391 --> 00:07:50.894
What was your take overall
00:07:50.894 --> 00:07:52.296
From that experience and some of the highlights?
00:07:52.296 --> 00:07:54.031
It was it was it was certainly impactful.
00:07:54.031 --> 00:07:57.634
It was a very difficult assignment because
00:07:57.634 --> 00:08:01.071
The temptation was to come in incredibly aggressive
00:08:01.071 --> 00:08:04.641
And righteously aggressive
00:08:04.641 --> 00:08:05.842
Because of all the damage he's done in california.
00:08:05.842 --> 00:08:08.912
If you look at his history, though, he's very talented at
00:08:08.912 --> 00:08:13.517
Bringing you down into the gutter
00:08:13.517 --> 00:08:15.352
And kind of focusing on one little detail
00:08:15.352 --> 00:08:18.021
And the debate gets completely blown up or the conversation.
00:08:18.021 --> 00:08:21.291
So i decided to come after it in a completely different way,
00:08:21.291 --> 00:08:24.161
Which is to meet him
00:08:24.161 --> 00:08:25.195
At his frequency if he is a little softer kind,
00:08:25.195 --> 00:08:28.265
But to use humor, wit and also just try to almost
00:08:28.265 --> 00:08:31.835
Have an incredulity or bewilderment
00:08:31.835 --> 00:08:34.237
About what you guys are so terrible. can't you see it?
00:08:34.237 --> 00:08:37.074
And i think it worked.
00:08:37.074 --> 00:08:38.108
I mean, the response has been overwhelming.
00:08:38.108 --> 00:08:41.178
The i think he is one of the most ambitious,
00:08:41.178 --> 00:08:44.715
Nakedly transactional human beings i've ever come across.
00:08:44.715 --> 00:08:47.851
Slippery. very slippery.
00:08:47.851 --> 00:08:50.754
He's he's so unbelievably ambitious.
00:08:50.754 --> 00:08:54.524
Not for the better.
00:08:54.524 --> 00:08:56.093
I will say one positive thing because i think obligatory.
00:08:56.093 --> 00:08:59.596
His team made a promise they wouldn't edit
00:08:59.596 --> 00:09:01.331
Any footage and they didn't. so that's good on them.
00:09:01.331 --> 00:09:03.500
So i will say that i don't know if he has any core beliefs.
00:09:03.500 --> 00:09:07.137
He seems like the type of person
00:09:07.137 --> 00:09:08.972
That will be able to pass a lie detector test at any time
00:09:08.972 --> 00:09:12.442
Like he has.
00:09:12.442 --> 00:09:13.143
He's the person that does not
00:09:13.143 --> 00:09:15.112
Sweat with his palms if he tells it to see
00:09:15.112 --> 00:09:17.581
Like he has complete capacity to tell you what
00:09:17.581 --> 00:09:21.351
You want to hear whenever you want to hear it.
00:09:21.351 --> 00:09:23.153
At least that's my gut reading.
00:09:23.153 --> 00:09:25.255
But more importantly, and more broadly,
00:09:25.255 --> 00:09:27.324
Which is where i felt it was a success,
00:09:27.324 --> 00:09:29.793
Is that i was able to flush out that he was he's
00:09:29.793 --> 00:09:32.562
Obviously want to be president.
00:09:32.562 --> 00:09:33.897
He was trying to come to the middle
00:09:33.897 --> 00:09:35.232
On the issue of men and female sports. and then
00:09:35.232 --> 00:09:39.202
As that happened, i was like, he's going to get backlash.
00:09:39.202 --> 00:09:41.571
And boy, did he ever the democrat party is denouncing
00:09:41.571 --> 00:09:44.107
Him. there's article after article saying that
00:09:44.107 --> 00:09:46.810
How dare you go after trans athletes?
00:09:46.810 --> 00:09:49.479
And so in that regard, mission accomplished.
00:09:49.479 --> 00:09:52.015
Yeah.
00:09:52.015 --> 00:09:53.016
And it came on the heels of president trump's
00:09:53.016 --> 00:09:54.718
Speech to the joint session of.
00:09:54.718 --> 00:09:55.986
Congress and the senate voting against the men and female
00:09:55.986 --> 00:09:59.489
Sports bill.
00:09:59.489 --> 00:10:00.424
So it was really timely.
00:10:00.424 --> 00:10:02.059
And democrats said, yeah,
00:10:02.059 --> 00:10:03.326
Democrat senators, as you said, charlie, voting against that.
00:10:03.326 --> 00:10:05.662
But you don't think it's sincere?
00:10:05.662 --> 00:10:07.097
Most likely. number one, newsome's.
00:10:07.097 --> 00:10:09.800
I don't think. anything about him is sincere.
00:10:09.800 --> 00:10:11.435
I'm sorry. i just.
00:10:11.435 --> 00:10:12.703
And you were with him face to face.
00:10:12.703 --> 00:10:14.037
You say that?
00:10:14.037 --> 00:10:14.438
Good. read.
00:10:14.438 --> 00:10:15.038
The only thing i can say
00:10:15.038 --> 00:10:16.339
That i guess is honest and sincere is they didn't edit
00:10:16.339 --> 00:10:18.542
The footage and everything they said they were going to do.
00:10:18.542 --> 00:10:20.343
They did.
00:10:20.343 --> 00:10:21.611
Okay, yeah, but this is a guy who has signed the most radical
00:10:21.611 --> 00:10:24.481
Transgender curriculum and legislation in the country.
00:10:24.481 --> 00:10:28.585
And i pressed him in the moment, and i probably looking back
00:10:28.585 --> 00:10:31.555
At the footage, hindsight is 2020.
00:10:31.555 --> 00:10:32.956
I probably had a little bit
00:10:32.956 --> 00:10:34.291
Of space to go in for one more yes or no.
00:10:34.291 --> 00:10:37.360
And i didn't.
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:38.061
You know, you look back,
00:10:38.061 --> 00:10:39.129
I probably could have been okay, governor.
00:10:39.129 --> 00:10:40.831
So are you going to sign an executive order about this
00:10:40.831 --> 00:10:43.066
Or are you just going to say that it's not fair?
00:10:43.066 --> 00:10:44.901
I probably could have leaned in there
00:10:44.901 --> 00:10:46.670
Because here's where it's going to really backfire
00:10:46.670 --> 00:10:48.505
For governor newsom.
00:10:48.505 --> 00:10:49.673
I did not make it just an abstract, broad
00:10:49.673 --> 00:10:52.209
Example with him.
00:10:52.209 --> 00:10:53.243
I said, hey,
00:10:53.243 --> 00:10:54.111
There's a young man that's about to
00:10:54.111 --> 00:10:55.312
Win the track championship by the name of abe hernandez.
00:10:55.312 --> 00:10:59.082
So what happens
00:10:59.082 --> 00:10:59.983
If that young man ends up winning it?
00:10:59.983 --> 00:11:01.084
Is he going to prevent
00:11:01.084 --> 00:11:01.952
It is going to speak out against it.
00:11:01.952 --> 00:11:03.320
So now he's invited this major issue of this individual
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.357
That if they actually end up winning the state championship,
00:11:07.357 --> 00:11:10.193
Then governor newsom has really dug himself
00:11:10.193 --> 00:11:12.963
Into a political hole.
00:11:12.963 --> 00:11:13.997
Yeah, where does the left go from here, charlie?
00:11:13.997 --> 00:11:15.665
Look, president trump, an incredible, incredible
00:11:15.665 --> 00:11:18.502
First six weeks in office, i saw the left in disarray.
00:11:18.502 --> 00:11:21.638
We saw at that state of the union address.
00:11:21.638 --> 00:11:23.607
Obviously, they're in complete disarray
00:11:23.607 --> 00:11:25.809
Now, as you mentioned, maybe a democrat civil war over
00:11:25.809 --> 00:11:29.312
Issues like transition of kids and men and women, sports.
00:11:29.312 --> 00:11:32.449
Where does the left go from here?
00:11:32.449 --> 00:11:34.484
They're in the wilderness right now.
00:11:34.484 --> 00:11:35.685
They are in the wilderness, which is actually
00:11:35.685 --> 00:11:37.821
The name of the book of numbers in hebrew.
00:11:37.821 --> 00:11:40.056
For all of your friends out there in the wilderness.
00:11:40.056 --> 00:11:42.025
The entire book is actually called
00:11:42.025 --> 00:11:43.360
In the wilderness numbers is actually the greek name,
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.329
But in the original hebrew.
00:11:46.329 --> 00:11:47.931
So kind of very similar to when the jews were in
00:11:47.931 --> 00:11:50.934
The wilderness.
00:11:50.934 --> 00:11:51.968
They're going to complain all the time and over.
00:11:51.968 --> 00:11:53.603
They said 40 years there. yeah.
00:11:53.603 --> 00:11:56.039
No, all kidding aside,
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:57.741
You know, 40 years in the wilderness sounds great.
00:11:57.741 --> 00:11:59.242
40 years of us kind of running the country.
00:11:59.242 --> 00:12:01.044
I don't know.
00:12:01.044 --> 00:12:02.045
I do think that gavin wants to be the leader.
00:12:02.045 --> 00:12:04.047
I don't know if he has.
00:12:04.047 --> 00:12:05.749
Can he recover from the wildfires?
00:12:05.749 --> 00:12:07.250
I mean, it was such a debacle. and yeah.
00:12:07.250 --> 00:12:08.785
So that was the only feedback where people said, charlie,
00:12:08.785 --> 00:12:10.687
Why didn't you press him on the wildfires?
00:12:10.687 --> 00:12:12.389
Number one, it's number one.
00:12:12.389 --> 00:12:14.691
You only have so much time.
00:12:14.691 --> 00:12:15.926
Number two, i wanted to try to nationalize all my topics.
00:12:15.926 --> 00:12:18.295
Right.
00:12:18.295 --> 00:12:18.829
This was not charlie
00:12:18.829 --> 00:12:19.963
Kirk on the california, you know, the california record.
00:12:19.963 --> 00:12:23.900
Number three, though, is that anything to do with california?
00:12:23.900 --> 00:12:27.003
He just lies and he says, you don't understand.
00:12:27.003 --> 00:12:29.539
You don't live here.
00:12:29.539 --> 00:12:30.574
You know what i mean?
00:12:30.574 --> 00:12:31.775
And it's just that i felt that wasn't a good use of our time.
00:12:31.775 --> 00:12:34.311
I don't think number one, i don't know
00:12:34.311 --> 00:12:37.547
If a governor from california can win a national election.
00:12:37.547 --> 00:12:40.917
I just don't. i think california is so hated.
00:12:40.917 --> 00:12:43.453
It is so thought.
00:12:43.453 --> 00:12:44.454
It's thought so poorly of
00:12:44.454 --> 00:12:45.889
And this is obviously him trying to remake himself,
00:12:45.889 --> 00:12:48.024
Sort of rebrand himself, look at me.
00:12:48.024 --> 00:12:49.659
I can sit down with a maga individual here.
00:12:49.659 --> 00:12:52.729
And i think it's inherently insincere in that sense.
00:12:52.729 --> 00:12:56.633
But more broadly, where do the democrats
00:12:56.633 --> 00:12:59.035
Go from here
00:12:59.035 --> 00:13:00.003
If they do not adjust on three major issues,
00:13:00.003 --> 00:13:02.772
If they do not address
00:13:02.772 --> 00:13:03.707
On crime, slash immigration,
00:13:03.707 --> 00:13:05.575
The trans issue and quality of life
00:13:05.575 --> 00:13:07.544
Which involves inflation, rate regulation, taxation?
00:13:07.544 --> 00:13:11.681
I don't know if they're ever going to win
00:13:11.681 --> 00:13:12.849
Another national election in at least the next decade.
00:13:12.849 --> 00:13:15.285
Yeah.
00:13:15.285 --> 00:13:16.553
By the way, gavin newsom's kids are apparently fans of viewers,
00:13:16.553 --> 00:13:19.522
As he does.
00:13:19.522 --> 00:13:20.624
Yeah, no, that's right. and so i've heard that before.
00:13:20.624 --> 00:13:22.559
And by the way, open invite
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.794
Young, young newsom, if you
00:13:24.794 --> 00:13:26.129
Want to come to a turning point event, we'd love to have you.
00:13:26.129 --> 00:13:28.765
We said that.
00:13:28.765 --> 00:13:29.833
But unlike gavin newsom, i respect parental rights,
00:13:29.833 --> 00:13:33.536
So i'm not going to try to go around gavin's back
00:13:33.536 --> 00:13:35.572
And try to go after a 13 year old.
00:13:35.572 --> 00:13:37.340
I'm going to wait for him to become 18.
00:13:37.340 --> 00:13:38.708
So it's up for the governor to decide.
00:13:38.708 --> 00:13:40.744
See, i want the governor to be able
00:13:40.744 --> 00:13:41.945
Decide what happens to his kid,
00:13:41.945 --> 00:13:43.847
Whereas he believes it's perfectly okay for his son to
00:13:43.847 --> 00:13:47.017
Have medical mutilation surgery.
00:13:47.017 --> 00:13:48.885
Very true.
00:13:48.885 --> 00:13:49.452
Without parents knowing.
00:13:49.452 --> 00:13:52.255
Coming up, more with charlie kirk.
00:13:52.255 --> 00:13:54.257
We're talking about the coming economic turnaround,
00:13:54.257 --> 00:13:57.060
Breaking the deep, deep state and why pastors
00:13:57.060 --> 00:14:00.730
Need to step up for biblical truth now.
00:14:00.730 --> 00:14:04.367
That's next. don't move.
00:14:04.367 --> 00:14:09.003
That's next. don't move.
00:14:09.003 --> 00:14:11.842
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
00:14:12.610 --> 00:14:14.278
He's the founder and president of turning point usa
00:14:14.278 --> 00:14:17.114
And host of charlie kirk today every weeknight at 6:30 p.m.
00:14:17.114 --> 00:14:21.118
Eastern time right here on tbn.
00:14:21.118 --> 00:14:22.954
And charlie kirk is one of the most dynamic
00:14:22.954 --> 00:14:25.589
And influence voices in america today.
00:14:25.589 --> 00:14:28.592
And he is very plugged in to the trump administration
00:14:28.592 --> 00:14:31.629
And the coming american turnaround.
00:14:31.629 --> 00:14:34.465
Take a look.
00:14:34.465 --> 00:14:36.901
Okay.
00:14:36.901 --> 00:14:37.969
The victory comes november 5th. we're about six.
00:14:37.969 --> 00:14:39.937
We almost seven weeks in now.
00:14:39.937 --> 00:14:41.539
This historic term big impression so far.
00:14:41.539 --> 00:14:44.742
To me, it's been glorious.
00:14:44.742 --> 00:14:46.077
It's a new victory every day for our country.
00:14:46.077 --> 00:14:49.246
You're in the mix of it.
00:14:49.246 --> 00:14:50.281
You've been all along, charlie, your impressions
00:14:50.281 --> 00:14:52.750
So far of president trump's second term?
00:14:52.750 --> 00:14:56.454
I mean, it's historic. it's legendary.
00:14:56.454 --> 00:14:58.155
It's a breakneck pace.
00:14:58.155 --> 00:14:59.690
Glory be to god for delivering this country
00:14:59.690 --> 00:15:01.959
From the evil that we were under.
00:15:01.959 --> 00:15:03.694
We have a lot of work yet to do.
00:15:03.694 --> 00:15:05.563
Not everything that is happening is perfect, but it is great.
00:15:05.563 --> 00:15:08.766
And i want people to understand that, that
00:15:08.766 --> 00:15:10.501
The moving average, what this administration
00:15:10.501 --> 00:15:12.403
Is doing is phenomenal.
00:15:12.403 --> 00:15:14.138
We have a border again.
00:15:14.138 --> 00:15:15.473
We're hopefully seeing the end of the russian-ukrainian war.
00:15:15.473 --> 00:15:19.010
We're going to see the economy have to go through an incredible
00:15:19.010 --> 00:15:22.079
Period of prosperity and flourishing, god willing.
00:15:22.079 --> 00:15:24.882
We're seeing spending cuts, the end of usaid.
00:15:24.882 --> 00:15:27.885
We're seeing a complete rebalancing of kind of the mafia
00:15:27.885 --> 00:15:31.622
Of washington, d.c., and who they are accountable to.
00:15:31.622 --> 00:15:33.791
Swamps really being drained.
00:15:33.791 --> 00:15:35.226
It's really we're seeing
00:15:35.226 --> 00:15:36.227
And look at these amazing cabinet officials.
00:15:36.227 --> 00:15:38.396
I mean,
00:15:38.396 --> 00:15:39.263
We have pete hegseth and marco rubio,
00:15:39.263 --> 00:15:40.564
Bobby kennedy and tulsi gabbard and kash patel dream team.
00:15:40.564 --> 00:15:43.267
It's a dream team across the board.
00:15:43.267 --> 00:15:45.202
When we sat down at my office,
00:15:45.202 --> 00:15:47.238
I dedicated zero zero literal energy
00:15:47.238 --> 00:15:50.674
Of what the administration would look like.
00:15:50.674 --> 00:15:52.476
All i cared about was winning.
00:15:52.476 --> 00:15:54.178
I could not have imagined eric, when we sat down
00:15:54.178 --> 00:15:57.548
That we would have cash.
00:15:57.548 --> 00:15:58.749
Patel is fbi director bobby kennedy as head of the hhs.
00:15:58.749 --> 00:16:02.353
Tulsi gabbard as the head of dni.
00:16:02.353 --> 00:16:04.789
It truly is a dream team across the board.
00:16:04.789 --> 00:16:06.757
And it's incredible.
00:16:06.757 --> 00:16:07.691
And charlie mentioned it.
00:16:07.691 --> 00:16:08.559
Look, we were heading down
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:09.693
An evil road as a nation with evil people in charge.
00:16:09.693 --> 00:16:13.431
Do you see this as a national reprieve for our country
00:16:13.431 --> 00:16:16.200
At the mercy, the grace of god, quite literally.
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:19.870
I do believe that.
00:16:19.870 --> 00:16:20.871
And the question is,
00:16:20.871 --> 00:16:21.939
What will the church do during this reprieve and.
00:16:21.939 --> 00:16:24.775
Can't squander this? correct.
00:16:24.775 --> 00:16:26.410
And some churches, i think, are stepping up
00:16:26.410 --> 00:16:28.379
And credit to those pastors out there watching.
00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:30.714
I mean, we were talking with alan jackson.
00:16:30.714 --> 00:16:32.083
What a great guy he is.
00:16:32.083 --> 00:16:33.250
And he's on this network and he's always speaking out.
00:16:33.250 --> 00:16:35.419
But we need more pastors to really lean into this moment
00:16:35.419 --> 00:16:37.855
Because i'm not seeing quite the gusto that we should.
00:16:37.855 --> 00:16:40.524
I'm not seeing the meaning of the moment that is warranted
00:16:40.524 --> 00:16:44.662
Because the lord has just done a miracle.
00:16:44.662 --> 00:16:46.464
I mean,
00:16:46.464 --> 00:16:47.531
The miracle on july 13th of donald trump survived
00:16:47.531 --> 00:16:50.000
The assassination,
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:51.235
The miracle of donald trump coming back from all of this,
00:16:51.235 --> 00:16:53.170
We have witnessed one of the most
00:16:53.170 --> 00:16:55.372
Miraculous political moments in the history of humanity.
00:16:55.372 --> 00:16:58.943
And most churches are not interested
00:16:58.943 --> 00:17:00.478
In even commenting it.
00:17:00.478 --> 00:17:01.679
And so i think it's a very
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:03.180
It's a very
00:17:03.180 --> 00:17:04.348
Troubling state of affairs right now for some pastors.
00:17:04.348 --> 00:17:07.118
And it's up for us to try to motivate them
00:17:07.118 --> 00:17:09.120
To speak out more boldly and loudly.
00:17:09.120 --> 00:17:11.188
And charlie, you've called them out,
00:17:11.188 --> 00:17:12.490
I mean, for years, really,
00:17:12.490 --> 00:17:13.791
The silence in pulpits
00:17:13.791 --> 00:17:15.126
On sundays and wednesday nights when it comes to the training
00:17:15.126 --> 00:17:18.262
Of kids, men and women, sports, these
00:17:18.262 --> 00:17:20.297
These are issues of great,
00:17:20.297 --> 00:17:22.500
Obviously great effect for the american people.
00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:24.468
But this is pure evil.
00:17:24.468 --> 00:17:26.237
And if a pastor won't call it out, who will?
00:17:26.237 --> 00:17:28.405
Actually, people are calling out
00:17:28.405 --> 00:17:29.773
People like elon musk and joe rogan and podcasters
00:17:29.773 --> 00:17:33.010
Who aren't known as traditional christian voices,
00:17:33.010 --> 00:17:35.679
But they're kind of stepping up and filling the vacuum
00:17:35.679 --> 00:17:38.048
Where the church, it seems, has abdicated.
00:17:38.048 --> 00:17:40.151
In a sense, it has abdicated.
00:17:40.151 --> 00:17:41.719
I mean, we look kind of
00:17:41.719 --> 00:17:43.120
At the modern landscape of the american church.
00:17:43.120 --> 00:17:45.789
There's three types of churches.
00:17:45.789 --> 00:17:46.991
There's true churches
00:17:46.991 --> 00:17:47.992
That are
00:17:47.992 --> 00:17:48.926
Really adhering to god's word, and they're
00:17:48.926 --> 00:17:50.361
Governing their church in a biblical way.
00:17:50.361 --> 00:17:52.329
Then there are trembling churches.
00:17:52.329 --> 00:17:53.631
They're shaking like a leaf.
00:17:53.631 --> 00:17:54.832
They're always worried about who they're going to offend.
00:17:54.832 --> 00:17:56.634
They know the truth, but they don't speak the truth.
00:17:56.634 --> 00:17:59.303
And then there are traitorous churches.
00:17:59.303 --> 00:18:00.704
That's a small number of churches, though.
00:18:00.704 --> 00:18:02.740
Those are ones that are saying
00:18:02.740 --> 00:18:04.842
The old testament doesn't matter and they're constantly
00:18:04.842 --> 00:18:06.844
Questioning the inerrancy of scripture.
00:18:06.844 --> 00:18:08.612
They're a minority. i only want to talk about those.
00:18:08.612 --> 00:18:10.848
The issue is the trembling churches,
00:18:10.848 --> 00:18:12.783
And it's because they have a misunderstanding or a failure
00:18:12.783 --> 00:18:16.520
To articulate what the church actually is.
00:18:16.520 --> 00:18:19.323
What is the church?
00:18:19.323 --> 00:18:20.724
The church is not just an assembly.
00:18:20.724 --> 00:18:23.360
It's not just a place with organized
00:18:23.360 --> 00:18:25.629
Parking and good coffee.
00:18:25.629 --> 00:18:27.431
It's not just a place where you hear
00:18:27.431 --> 00:18:28.599
A ted talk and a rock concert.
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:30.434
The church is the place
00:18:30.434 --> 00:18:31.902
Where, of course, the word of god is spoken.
00:18:31.902 --> 00:18:34.004
But most importantly, the people of the
00:18:34.004 --> 00:18:36.740
Of the nation of the community come to learn
00:18:36.740 --> 00:18:39.276
How they can impact their community,
00:18:39.276 --> 00:18:40.811
Impacts through love and grace and all that
00:18:40.811 --> 00:18:42.947
They do in truth and grace and all that they do.
00:18:42.947 --> 00:18:45.282
And the pastor needs to use the scriptures
00:18:45.282 --> 00:18:47.585
As a baseline to get that done. yes.
00:18:47.585 --> 00:18:50.120
And the failure to recognize
00:18:50.120 --> 00:18:51.622
Understand what the church actually is,
00:18:51.622 --> 00:18:53.624
Is the baseline failure of the modern american church.
00:18:53.624 --> 00:18:57.294
Charlie so we'll set, as always, about a minute left.
00:18:57.294 --> 00:18:59.430

Tell us a bit more about it.
00:19:04.969 --> 00:19:06.136
Yeah, the show is is as hot as a pistol now.
00:19:06.136 --> 00:19:08.505
Glory to god.
00:19:08.505 --> 00:19:09.573
Everything is from a biblical worldview, right?
00:19:09.573 --> 00:19:11.675
Conservative and grounded.
00:19:11.675 --> 00:19:13.210
We we understand the natural law.
00:19:13.210 --> 00:19:15.479
We talk about it.
00:19:15.479 --> 00:19:16.714
But most importantly, we are giving you
00:19:16.714 --> 00:19:19.049

00:19:19.049 --> 00:19:22.052

00:19:30.594 --> 00:19:32.263
And it's really important
00:19:32.263 --> 00:19:33.864
That we as christians, as it says in jeremiah 29 seven,
00:19:33.864 --> 00:19:36.634
To man
00:19:36.634 --> 00:19:37.568
The welfare of the nation that you are in
00:19:37.568 --> 00:19:38.702
Because your welfare is tied to our nation's welfare,
00:19:38.702 --> 00:19:40.771
We try to make it easier for you
00:19:40.771 --> 00:19:42.606

Amen for such a time as this man.
00:19:44.642 --> 00:19:47.011
Charlie, great job.
00:19:47.011 --> 00:19:48.078
Thanks. we appreciate my friend. god bless you.
00:19:48.078 --> 00:19:51.749
Great stuff, folks.
00:19:51.749 --> 00:19:52.750

00:19:54.018 --> 00:19:57.921
Eastern time.
00:19:57.921 --> 00:19:58.989
Well, up next, my final thoughts on moral clarity
00:19:58.989 --> 00:20:03.093
And why it makes or breaks nations.
00:20:03.093 --> 00:20:06.664
Stick around.
00:20:06.664 --> 00:20:10.008
Stick around.
00:20:10.008 --> 00:20:12.513
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
00:20:13.380 --> 00:20:15.316
As we wrap up here, a quick reminder,
00:20:15.316 --> 00:20:17.151
We've got some static back tonight merge. that's right.
00:20:17.151 --> 00:20:20.054
By popular demand at the tbn store shop that tbn dot org.
00:20:20.054 --> 00:20:25.526
We've got hats, hoodies, t shirts and more.
00:20:25.526 --> 00:20:28.796
It was a very contentious time yesterday on the house
00:20:28.796 --> 00:20:32.633
Floor in washington, d.c.
00:20:32.633 --> 00:20:34.134
There was a hearing on capitol hill and it was chaired
00:20:34.134 --> 00:20:38.138
By congressman keith selfe of texas, and it included
00:20:38.138 --> 00:20:41.975
An introduction to a delaware congressman.
00:20:41.975 --> 00:20:45.312
Yes, it's a man, tim mcbride.
00:20:45.312 --> 00:20:48.449
He calls himself sarah.
00:20:48.449 --> 00:20:49.883
It's a dude in a dress, folks, to be quite frank.
00:20:49.883 --> 00:20:52.786
And congressman self introduced him as mr.
00:20:52.786 --> 00:20:56.190
Well, a democrat, congressman bill keating
00:20:56.190 --> 00:20:59.159
Didn't like that very much. surprise, surprise.
00:20:59.159 --> 00:21:01.562
And here was their exchange.
00:21:01.562 --> 00:21:05.199
I now recognize the representative from delaware,
00:21:05.199 --> 00:21:07.968
Mr. mcbride.
00:21:07.968 --> 00:21:10.804
Thank you, madam chair.
00:21:10.804 --> 00:21:12.272
Ranking member keating.
00:21:12.272 --> 00:21:13.540
Also wonder if, mr.
00:21:13.540 --> 00:21:14.742
Chairman, could you repeat your introduction again, please?
00:21:14.742 --> 00:21:18.178
Yes, it's a it's a
00:21:18.178 --> 00:21:20.881
We have set the standard on the floor of the house,
00:21:20.881 --> 00:21:23.751
And i'm simply.
00:21:23.751 --> 00:21:25.419
What is that standard?
00:21:25.419 --> 00:21:26.387
Mr. chairman,
00:21:26.387 --> 00:21:28.555
Would you repeat what you just said?
00:21:28.555 --> 00:21:30.224
You introduced
00:21:30.224 --> 00:21:31.225
A duly elected representative
00:21:31.225 --> 00:21:33.127
From the united states of america.
00:21:33.127 --> 00:21:34.828
Please, i will.
00:21:34.828 --> 00:21:37.030
The representative from delaware, mr.
00:21:37.030 --> 00:21:38.766
Mcbride.
00:21:38.766 --> 00:21:40.334
Mr. chairman, you are out of order.
00:21:40.334 --> 00:21:44.405
Mr. chairman, have you no decency?
00:21:44.405 --> 00:21:47.174
I mean, i have come to know you
00:21:47.174 --> 00:21:48.642
A little bit, but this is not decent.
00:21:48.642 --> 00:21:50.511
We will continue this.
00:21:50.511 --> 00:21:51.745
You will not continue with me unless you introduce
00:21:51.745 --> 00:21:54.782
A duly elected representative the right way.
00:21:54.782 --> 00:21:59.386
This hearing is adjourned.
00:21:59.386 --> 00:22:03.757
Hey, bravo to congressman sell
00:22:03.757 --> 00:22:05.259
For sticking to his guns and just killing the hearing
00:22:05.259 --> 00:22:07.761
Because we're not going to acknowledge insanity.
00:22:07.761 --> 00:22:10.130
We're not going to say that a man in a dress is a woman.
00:22:10.130 --> 00:22:14.134
And it's interesting, we talked earlier in the show,
00:22:14.134 --> 00:22:16.203
Folks, about democrats, what they stand for.
00:22:16.203 --> 00:22:19.873
They stand up for mahmoud khalil, a hamas sympathizer,
00:22:19.873 --> 00:22:23.911
But they won't stand
00:22:23.911 --> 00:22:25.379
For a 13 year old kid who survived brain cancer.
00:22:25.379 --> 00:22:28.415
I could go on.
00:22:28.415 --> 00:22:29.483
But all brings me to our point about moral clarity.
00:22:29.483 --> 00:22:32.519
Jeremiah chapter 18 verses seven and eight.
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:35.456
If at any time god says i announced that a nation
00:22:35.456 --> 00:22:38.659
Or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed,
00:22:38.659 --> 00:22:42.629
And if that nation i warned repents of its evil,
00:22:42.629 --> 00:22:45.432
Then i will relent
00:22:45.432 --> 00:22:47.000
And not inflict on it the disaster i had planned.
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:50.604
Folks, i think that's exactly what happened on november 5th,
00:22:50.604 --> 00:22:53.607
When donald trump won a landslide victory,
00:22:53.607 --> 00:22:55.976
America was granted a reprieve, a golden opportunity
00:22:55.976 --> 00:22:59.847
For our nation, a gift from god almighty.
00:22:59.847 --> 00:23:03.217
Speaking of which, our good friend franklin
00:23:03.217 --> 00:23:05.185
Graham of samaritan's purse is with us tomorrow night,
00:23:05.185 --> 00:23:07.321
Along with grammy award winning recording artist chris tomlin.
00:23:07.321 --> 00:23:10.824
You won't want to miss that, talking
00:23:10.824 --> 00:23:12.025
About his brand new film.
00:23:12.025 --> 00:23:13.360
And also friday, lieutenant colonel alan west is here.
00:23:13.360 --> 00:23:17.130
You won't want to miss it.
00:23:17.130 --> 00:23:18.065
Some great shows coming up until tomorrow.
00:23:18.065 --> 00:23:21.101
God bless you and we'll see you soon.
00:23:21.101 --> 00:23:21.101
