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: May 21, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | May 21, 2025

Welcome to stakelbeck tonight i'm erick stakelbeck, and we
00:00:03.059 --> 00:00:05.995
Talk a lot here about what i call the three essential f's.
00:00:05.995 --> 00:00:10.667
Faith, family and freedom.
00:00:10.667 --> 00:00:13.403
They're coming back to america in a major way
00:00:13.403 --> 00:00:16.206
Under president trump's leadership.
00:00:16.206 --> 00:00:18.308
But so are the three s's.
00:00:18.308 --> 00:00:21.044
Safety, security, and sanity.
00:00:21.044 --> 00:00:24.614
Let's start with safety.
00:00:24.614 --> 00:00:25.982
The invasion at our southern border is over,
00:00:25.982 --> 00:00:28.485
And president trump's team
00:00:28.485 --> 00:00:29.686
Is now busy deporting the many criminal illegal aliens
00:00:29.686 --> 00:00:33.423
Who entered the united states under joe biden.
00:00:33.423 --> 00:00:36.292
The supreme court also ruled earlier this week
00:00:36.292 --> 00:00:38.661
That the trump administration can move forward
00:00:38.661 --> 00:00:41.831
With deporting hundreds of thousands of venezuelans
00:00:41.831 --> 00:00:45.535
Who came to the u.s.
00:00:45.535 --> 00:00:46.736
Illegally but were granted protected status by,
00:00:46.736 --> 00:00:50.640
You guessed it, joe biden.
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.742
So there's now greater safety, and then there's security.
00:00:52.742 --> 00:00:57.013
On tuesday, president trump's
00:00:57.013 --> 00:00:58.581
Plan for a golden dome missile defense system were unveiled.
00:00:58.581 --> 00:01:02.418
It's a high tech shield designed to protect america
00:01:02.418 --> 00:01:06.055
From incoming threats, not only from rogue nations
00:01:06.055 --> 00:01:09.159
Like iran and north korea, but also from potential hypersonic
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:14.097
And space based missile attacks from china and russia.
00:01:14.097 --> 00:01:18.368
Now, the golden dome has a $125 billion price tag,
00:01:18.368 --> 00:01:22.472
With 25 billion of it already baked into the current
00:01:22.472 --> 00:01:26.509
Big, beautiful bill working its way through congress.
00:01:26.509 --> 00:01:29.913
Here's more from the president.
00:01:29.913 --> 00:01:32.715
This design for the golden dome will
00:01:33.516 --> 00:01:36.186
Integrate with our existing defense capabilities,
00:01:36.186 --> 00:01:39.255
And should be fully operational before the end of my term,
00:01:39.255 --> 00:01:42.392
So we'll have it done in about three years.
00:01:42.392 --> 00:01:45.929
Once fully constructed, the golden dome will be capable
00:01:45.929 --> 00:01:49.532
Of intercepting missiles even if they are launched from
00:01:49.532 --> 00:01:53.136
Other sides of the world.
00:01:53.136 --> 00:01:54.437
And even if they are launched from space.
00:01:54.437 --> 00:01:57.273
And we will have the best system ever built.
00:01:57.273 --> 00:02:00.543
As you know, we helped israel with theirs and
00:02:00.543 --> 00:02:04.447
Was very successful, and now we have technology
00:02:04.447 --> 00:02:06.883
That's even far advanced from that.
00:02:06.883 --> 00:02:10.653
It's ambitious.
00:02:11.020 --> 00:02:12.555
It's bold.
00:02:12.555 --> 00:02:13.623
Trump said canada already called and they won in.
00:02:13.623 --> 00:02:16.726
And of course, china isn't thrilled.
00:02:16.726 --> 00:02:19.662
The communist regime in beijing is accusing the u.s.
00:02:19.662 --> 00:02:22.799
Of turning space into a war zone.
00:02:22.799 --> 00:02:25.501
But folks, let's be serious.
00:02:25.501 --> 00:02:27.537
China and russia have been militarizing space for years.
00:02:27.537 --> 00:02:31.908
America is just now catching up to its adversaries
00:02:31.908 --> 00:02:36.212
And bringing to fruition a plan first proposed
00:02:36.212 --> 00:02:39.082
By president reagan some 40 years ago.
00:02:39.082 --> 00:02:42.619
Speaking of catching up.
00:02:42.619 --> 00:02:44.487
How about catching up with common sense?
00:02:44.487 --> 00:02:47.490
With sanity?
00:02:47.490 --> 00:02:48.791
We got both earlier this week when the supreme court ruled
00:02:48.791 --> 00:02:52.095
That means democrat controlled house cannot block
00:02:52.095 --> 00:02:56.399
A republican lawmaker from speaking or voting
00:02:56.399 --> 00:02:59.769
After she criticized a transgender athletes
00:02:59.769 --> 00:03:03.239
Participation in a girls high school pole vault event.
00:03:03.239 --> 00:03:07.510
State representative
00:03:07.510 --> 00:03:08.611
Laurel libby had been silenced and stripped of her vote
00:03:08.611 --> 00:03:12.448
Because she dared standing up for biological girls.
00:03:12.448 --> 00:03:16.519
Now she's free once again to speak out against the gender
00:03:16.519 --> 00:03:20.056
Madness that continues to be pushed by left
00:03:20.056 --> 00:03:23.359
Wing democrats like minnesota's attorney general keith ellison.
00:03:23.359 --> 00:03:28.131
He's now being sued for allowing biological males
00:03:28.131 --> 00:03:32.001
To compete in girls softball after a transgender pitcher
00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:36.172
Dominated this season,
00:03:36.172 --> 00:03:37.740
Winning 14 straight games and earning all state honors.
00:03:37.740 --> 00:03:42.211
Folks, that should never happen again.
00:03:42.211 --> 00:03:44.714
And with president trump back in office, god willing, it won't.
00:03:44.714 --> 00:03:48.284
As democrat leaders in blue states
00:03:48.284 --> 00:03:50.820
Are finally held accountable for all the craziness.
00:03:50.820 --> 00:03:54.524
One man who's been sounding the alarm for years every day
00:03:54.524 --> 00:03:58.127
On his hit radio show is blaze tv host steve davis.
00:03:58.127 --> 00:04:02.098
He joins us to talk about
00:04:02.098 --> 00:04:03.466
The return of safety, security and sanity.
00:04:03.466 --> 00:04:07.070
Next.
00:04:07.303 --> 00:04:25.655
He's never
00:04:25.955 --> 00:04:27.090
Been afraid to speak hard truths and tell it like it is.
00:04:27.090 --> 00:04:30.326
Steve davis is host of the steve dey show on the blaze
00:04:30.326 --> 00:04:33.429
Tv and the bestselling author and cultural commentator
00:04:33.429 --> 00:04:37.100
Who brings clarity to the chaos and a biblical lens
00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:41.237
To the headlines.
00:04:41.237 --> 00:04:42.205
That includes stunning new revelations
00:04:42.205 --> 00:04:45.141
About joe biden's cognitive decline
00:04:45.141 --> 00:04:47.910
And the cover up while he was in office.
00:04:47.910 --> 00:04:51.047
Steve, great to see you as always.
00:04:51.047 --> 00:04:52.982
And hey, look, we just got this
00:04:52.982 --> 00:04:54.250
Stunning announcement the other day.
00:04:54.250 --> 00:04:55.651
Maybe not so stunning.
00:04:55.651 --> 00:04:57.019
Joe biden advanced prostate cancer.
00:04:57.019 --> 00:05:00.123
Not so stunning
00:05:00.123 --> 00:05:01.190
Because clearly he was struggling for years, steve.
00:05:01.190 --> 00:05:04.060
And also the cognitive decline.
00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:05.762
We've got this brand new book, cnn's jake tapper
00:05:05.762 --> 00:05:08.931
Called original sin, laying out the cognitive
00:05:08.931 --> 00:05:11.567
Decline, the cover up while biden was in office.
00:05:11.567 --> 00:05:14.971
Big question, i guess, steve.
00:05:14.971 --> 00:05:17.006
Who should be held accountable for this,
00:05:17.006 --> 00:05:19.409
This fraud that was perpetrated upon the american people?
00:05:19.409 --> 00:05:23.212
And how should they be held accountable?
00:05:23.212 --> 00:05:25.248
I don't think, eric, we can understate this at all.
00:05:26.249 --> 00:05:29.519
For the last four years,
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:31.087
We truly had no idea
00:05:31.087 --> 00:05:32.455
Who was running the country, who was making decisions.
00:05:32.455 --> 00:05:35.158
You know, the reality is, if you voted
00:05:35.158 --> 00:05:36.692
In the 2020 election, the election was stolen
00:05:36.692 --> 00:05:38.895
From you regardless of how you voted. yeah.
00:05:38.895 --> 00:05:41.030
And if you voted for donald trump, you know,
00:05:41.030 --> 00:05:42.432
We were told we had to
00:05:42.432 --> 00:05:43.666
We had to investigate russian collusion
00:05:43.666 --> 00:05:45.835
Because trump won the decisive
00:05:45.835 --> 00:05:47.236
Four states by less than 80,000 votes.
00:05:47.236 --> 00:05:49.172
When joe biden
00:05:49.172 --> 00:05:50.406
Won the decisive six states, eric, by less than 40,000 votes.
00:05:50.406 --> 00:05:54.343
And it just so happened to be because
00:05:54.343 --> 00:05:55.711
About a dozen counties in those six states,
00:05:55.711 --> 00:05:57.580
The democrats have complete
00:05:57.580 --> 00:05:58.681
Control of the election machinery,
00:05:58.681 --> 00:06:00.483
Just so happened to count enough votes
00:06:00.483 --> 00:06:02.518
Until days after the election
00:06:02.518 --> 00:06:03.886
To come up with the total they needed.
00:06:03.886 --> 00:06:05.555
And yet,
00:06:05.555 --> 00:06:06.522
Regardless of how you voted, you didn't vote
00:06:06.522 --> 00:06:08.524
For the president of the united states.
00:06:08.524 --> 00:06:10.393
I mean, i think we're now finding out
00:06:10.393 --> 00:06:11.861
All these mysterious leads
00:06:11.861 --> 00:06:13.329
That joe biden took at 2:00, 1:00 in the afternoon,
00:06:13.329 --> 00:06:16.432
All these trips that he took all the time
00:06:16.432 --> 00:06:18.167
To delaware in the middle of the day.
00:06:18.167 --> 00:06:20.102
I think it's pretty obvious if you connect the dots, eric,
00:06:20.102 --> 00:06:22.004
He was getting cancer treatments the entire time,
00:06:22.004 --> 00:06:24.340
Which means the first lady, jill biden,
00:06:24.340 --> 00:06:26.275
I mean, senior white house staff,
00:06:26.275 --> 00:06:28.444
They perpetrated a massive fraud,
00:06:28.444 --> 00:06:30.146
The kinds of stuff that would be rejected.
00:06:30.146 --> 00:06:32.114
Scripts for netflix series.
00:06:32.114 --> 00:06:33.616
I mean, his candidacy to begin
00:06:33.616 --> 00:06:35.017
With was dead as a doornail in that primary.
00:06:35.017 --> 00:06:37.587
And about two weeks
00:06:37.587 --> 00:06:38.588
Before the covid lockdowns for super tuesday,
00:06:38.588 --> 00:06:41.591
You saw the entire democrat media complex, thanos,
00:06:41.591 --> 00:06:44.527
Snap him back to life and to take out bernie sanders.
00:06:44.527 --> 00:06:47.530
And now and now, joe biden's win in states
00:06:47.530 --> 00:06:49.265
By double digits that he never even visited.
00:06:49.265 --> 00:06:51.868
They then
00:06:51.868 --> 00:06:53.135
Let him run a basement campaign because of the covid lockdowns.
00:06:53.135 --> 00:06:55.771
The entirety
00:06:56.105 --> 00:06:57.273
Of everything that we were sold was a sham, was a scam.
00:06:57.273 --> 00:07:00.810
The most
00:07:01.077 --> 00:07:02.245
Powerful nation on earth had no idea who held the nuclear
00:07:02.245 --> 00:07:04.580
Football, who was making the decisions.
00:07:04.580 --> 00:07:06.549
If you voted in the 2020 election, you didn't
00:07:06.549 --> 00:07:08.584
Vote for the president, no matter whom you voted for.
00:07:08.584 --> 00:07:11.020
And i think i just think flat out that we have seen
00:07:11.020 --> 00:07:14.891
Demonic levels of deception,
00:07:14.891 --> 00:07:17.593
That have overtaken our political system
00:07:17.593 --> 00:07:20.062
And have been manifested and what we call headlines and news
00:07:20.062 --> 00:07:23.733
And what you and i do for a living is called commentary,
00:07:23.733 --> 00:07:26.235
That i think a lot of this is from principalities
00:07:26.235 --> 00:07:28.771
And from strongholds that are not of this world.
00:07:28.771 --> 00:07:31.874
And, and i think that what
00:07:31.874 --> 00:07:33.543
We've seen happen politically in this country
00:07:33.543 --> 00:07:35.244
For the last five years,
00:07:35.244 --> 00:07:37.013
Including, you know, you know, somehow a math club shooter
00:07:37.013 --> 00:07:40.716
Got within 150 yards of a full on face shot at donald trump.
00:07:40.716 --> 00:07:44.687
And yet and yet that same security
00:07:44.687 --> 00:07:46.489
Perimeter who could not detect him
00:07:46.489 --> 00:07:48.090
Was able to take him out at about 500 yards away.
00:07:48.090 --> 00:07:50.993
As joe biden would say, come on, man.
00:07:50.993 --> 00:07:53.362
All right.
00:07:53.362 --> 00:07:54.564
I think we're dealing with with true demonic levels of evil
00:07:54.564 --> 00:07:57.733
And what we have called news and elections
00:07:57.733 --> 00:08:00.036
And controversies for the last five plus years in this country.
00:08:00.036 --> 00:08:03.039
I think our spiritual warfare from the unseen realm,
00:08:03.039 --> 00:08:05.541
That it just spilled over into our
00:08:05.541 --> 00:08:07.510
Into what we can actually see in the natural realm.
00:08:07.510 --> 00:08:09.545
Steve so well said on all points.
00:08:09.545 --> 00:08:11.614
We are literally in a battle, a struggle
00:08:11.614 --> 00:08:13.983
For the soul of this nation, no doubt.
00:08:13.983 --> 00:08:16.852
The auto pen issue, by the way, joe biden issuing those last
00:08:16.852 --> 00:08:19.989
Second pardons
00:08:19.989 --> 00:08:21.157
And some pretty big ones, including for anthony fauci.
00:08:21.157 --> 00:08:24.160
Do you think that's going to become an issue coming,
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.329
Going forward?
00:08:26.329 --> 00:08:27.330
President trump mentioned just the other day
00:08:27.330 --> 00:08:28.998
Who was wielding the auto pen and signing these pardons
00:08:28.998 --> 00:08:32.368
And making decisions while biden was in office.
00:08:32.368 --> 00:08:35.104
Well, i would argue, eric, even state attorney
00:08:36.038 --> 00:08:37.907
Generals, that that doesn't apply to them.
00:08:37.907 --> 00:08:39.942
That's a federal pardon.
00:08:39.942 --> 00:08:41.310
And so state attorney generals have all kinds of ground
00:08:41.310 --> 00:08:44.580
Because their states were told
00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:46.082
To implement what ron desantis once dubbed as fauci ism.
00:08:46.082 --> 00:08:49.452
They were told to implement that, on a statewide level.
00:08:49.452 --> 00:08:52.188
They became the agents of implementing fauci's policies.
00:08:52.188 --> 00:08:54.991
He had no means by which of implementing them himself.
00:08:54.991 --> 00:08:57.827
So he relied on the states to do so.
00:08:57.827 --> 00:08:59.528
So states attorney generals
00:08:59.528 --> 00:09:01.364
Would absolutely have all kinds of recourse
00:09:01.364 --> 00:09:03.332
In standing to go after anthony fauci on their own.
00:09:03.332 --> 00:09:05.801
But as to your bigger question,
00:09:05.801 --> 00:09:07.136
Absolutely everything that this previous administration did,
00:09:07.136 --> 00:09:10.773
Everything should be questioned, should be documented.
00:09:10.773 --> 00:09:13.609
Question should be asked, who did this?
00:09:13.609 --> 00:09:15.211
Who signed off on these sorts of things? right?
00:09:15.211 --> 00:09:17.480
I mean, this is this is demonic levels of gaslighting.
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:21.183
And and i'm just telling you,
00:09:21.183 --> 00:09:22.418
Eric, i've worked in politics full time for almost 20 years.
00:09:22.418 --> 00:09:25.354
All right.
00:09:25.354 --> 00:09:26.589
Human nature is not capable of multi-level conspiracy theories
00:09:26.589 --> 00:09:30.893
That the entire executive branch of the us
00:09:30.893 --> 00:09:33.929
Government is in on something nobody leaked,
00:09:33.929 --> 00:09:36.565
Nobody got sold out, nobody got betrayed.
00:09:36.565 --> 00:09:39.235
And i think that stuff comes from,
00:09:39.235 --> 00:09:40.903
From from beings from another plane.
00:09:40.903 --> 00:09:43.072
Yeah.
00:09:43.072 --> 00:09:43.706
I mean, we need everything
00:09:43.706 --> 00:09:44.774
That was done in darkness to be brought to light.
00:09:44.774 --> 00:09:46.776
Steve davis, you're doing exactly that.
00:09:46.776 --> 00:09:48.310
More with blaze tv host steve davis after the break.
00:09:48.310 --> 00:09:51.514
What about the big, beautiful bill
00:09:51.514 --> 00:09:54.216
That's working its way through congress right now?
00:09:54.216 --> 00:09:56.185
What's in it and how does it affect
00:09:56.185 --> 00:09:57.920
You more with steve davis after the break.
00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:00.489
Don't move.
00:10:00.489 --> 00:10:04.004
Don't move.
00:10:04.004 --> 00:10:07.724
This is what the
00:10:08.124 --> 00:10:09.192
Crumbling of rule of law looks like in real time.
00:10:09.192 --> 00:10:12.262
And it's exactly what the founders of this nation feared.
00:10:12.262 --> 00:10:15.098
A tyrant abusing power to persecute scapegoats
00:10:15.098 --> 00:10:18.435
And enemies.
00:10:18.435 --> 00:10:20.537
That was minnesota governor tim walz, folks.
00:10:20.537 --> 00:10:23.339
He was nearly vice president of the united states.
00:10:23.339 --> 00:10:25.942
Talk about dodging a bullet there.
00:10:25.942 --> 00:10:27.510
That same speech, he compared ice agents to the gestapo.
00:10:27.510 --> 00:10:31.414
We're joined now by our good friend
00:10:31.414 --> 00:10:33.083
Steve davis, host of the steve vai show on the blaze tv.
00:10:33.083 --> 00:10:36.386
Steve, it seems that the left is not going to kind of moderate
00:10:36.386 --> 00:10:40.290
Or back down.
00:10:40.290 --> 00:10:41.691
They're going to continue to push this radical agenda.
00:10:41.691 --> 00:10:45.395
And essentially, if you're not a democrat, you're a nazi.
00:10:45.395 --> 00:10:48.932
Is that the message we're getting from rand?
00:10:48.932 --> 00:10:50.366
Walt's 100%.
00:10:50.366 --> 00:10:52.802
I mean, the reality is, eric,
00:10:52.802 --> 00:10:54.037
You just can't share a country with that.
00:10:54.037 --> 00:10:55.972
Yeah, i just can't put it any blunter than that.
00:10:55.972 --> 00:10:58.641
I mean, that
00:10:58.641 --> 00:10:59.409
That entire clip,
00:10:59.409 --> 00:11:00.276
Those two are, quote, stranger things
00:11:00.276 --> 00:11:01.611
Man, that's dispatches from the upside down.
00:11:01.611 --> 00:11:04.114
I mean, that's just you got a straight down load
00:11:04.114 --> 00:11:05.849
Right into your veins of doctrines of demons.
00:11:05.849 --> 00:11:07.617
I mean, if you could unpack that for a second,
00:11:07.617 --> 00:11:09.119
I mean, he's calling
00:11:09.119 --> 00:11:10.854
Defending national sovereignty in the border,
00:11:10.854 --> 00:11:13.189
You know, an affront to the rule of law.
00:11:13.189 --> 00:11:15.725
Trump is a tyrant for carrying out, his article
00:11:15.725 --> 00:11:18.394
Two of the constitution duties,
00:11:18.394 --> 00:11:20.363
Which is to defend, the borders of the united states
00:11:20.363 --> 00:11:22.599
And the people of the united states from unlawful invasion.
00:11:22.599 --> 00:11:25.201
The people he's talking about are illegal aliens.
00:11:25.201 --> 00:11:27.337
And the first term there, of course, is to be illegal,
00:11:27.337 --> 00:11:29.339
As in not here lawfully.
00:11:29.339 --> 00:11:30.807
So therefore, already, by virtue
00:11:30.807 --> 00:11:32.542
Of being an illegal alien, you have no standing.
00:11:32.542 --> 00:11:34.210
You have no rule of law.
00:11:34.210 --> 00:11:35.378
You're an invader. you do not belong here.
00:11:35.378 --> 00:11:38.014
And then to cite the founders list and thomas jefferson
00:11:38.014 --> 00:11:40.617
Thought sodomy in the military should be a capital offense.
00:11:40.617 --> 00:11:43.019
Eric.
00:11:43.019 --> 00:11:43.953
All right, what the.
00:11:43.953 --> 00:11:45.288
I don't
00:11:45.288 --> 00:11:45.855
I don't think you and
00:11:45.855 --> 00:11:46.756
I can actually say even on tbn, brother
00:11:46.756 --> 00:11:49.225
With the founders would think should be done
00:11:49.225 --> 00:11:51.294
About what is happening in this country right now. okay.
00:11:51.294 --> 00:11:53.997
All right.
00:11:53.997 --> 00:11:54.531
So again, those are
00:11:54.531 --> 00:11:55.732
Those are things that none of that is true.
00:11:55.732 --> 00:11:58.468
I you know, i'm reminded of, the,
00:11:58.468 --> 00:12:00.370
The maybe the one great scene in the last jedi
00:12:00.370 --> 00:12:02.672
Where luke skywalker looks at kylo ren and says,
00:12:02.672 --> 00:12:05.008
Everything you just said is exactly wrong.
00:12:05.008 --> 00:12:07.644
All right.
00:12:07.644 --> 00:12:08.211
But here's the thing.
00:12:08.211 --> 00:12:09.445
You need to understand that tim is not saying it for effect.
00:12:09.445 --> 00:12:11.214
Eric, he believes this. all right.
00:12:11.214 --> 00:12:13.616
This is a worldview steel cage match, brother.
00:12:13.616 --> 00:12:16.553
Okay?
00:12:16.553 --> 00:12:17.654
These are worldviews. they cannot share a culture.
00:12:17.654 --> 00:12:19.556
And two worldviews.
00:12:19.556 --> 00:12:20.523
Worldviews are walking the aisle
00:12:20.523 --> 00:12:21.925
And going into that squared circle,
00:12:21.925 --> 00:12:23.326
And only one of them is going to come out.
00:12:23.326 --> 00:12:24.961
And now this is not new to christianity.
00:12:24.961 --> 00:12:27.096
Christianity has never been able to share a culture
00:12:27.096 --> 00:12:29.632
With the rest of the world.
00:12:29.632 --> 00:12:30.600
That's why it's often been persecuted
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:32.569
Until it gains enough hegemony,
00:12:32.569 --> 00:12:34.437
Until it has converted enough souls
00:12:34.437 --> 00:12:36.206
That it
00:12:36.206 --> 00:12:36.873
Ultimately ends up becoming,
00:12:36.873 --> 00:12:37.941
You know, the the dominant impulse in
00:12:37.941 --> 00:12:39.943
A culture like what happened to rome.
00:12:39.943 --> 00:12:41.678
Hannibal could not conquer rome.
00:12:41.678 --> 00:12:43.479
Christianity.
00:12:43.479 --> 00:12:44.614
All right.
00:12:44.614 --> 00:12:45.248
And so we're just not used
00:12:45.248 --> 00:12:46.516
To seeing it here in the states, eric,
00:12:46.516 --> 00:12:48.318
Because we are the first culture in the history of christendom
00:12:48.318 --> 00:12:51.721
That was uniquely founded upon the precepts of christianity.
00:12:51.721 --> 00:12:55.091
And all 13 of the colonies
00:12:55.091 --> 00:12:56.526
Had some form of roots within vestiges
00:12:56.526 --> 00:12:58.761
Of the christian church and religion.
00:12:58.761 --> 00:13:00.563
And so this is unique to us in our history,
00:13:00.563 --> 00:13:03.633
But it is not unique throughout the history of christianity.
00:13:03.633 --> 00:13:06.603
I mean, i mean, if paul thought
00:13:06.603 --> 00:13:08.638
When paul wrote romans 13, if you thought that meant do
00:13:08.638 --> 00:13:10.773
Whatever government tells you, then why did nero behead him?
00:13:10.773 --> 00:13:13.376
It's precisely because paul would not do
00:13:13.376 --> 00:13:14.944
Everything that nero told him to do,
00:13:14.944 --> 00:13:16.045
Which is to worship nero as a god.
00:13:16.045 --> 00:13:17.447
And that's why nero beheaded him. right?
00:13:17.447 --> 00:13:19.249
So christianity has always come
00:13:19.249 --> 00:13:21.117
To this nexus, to this crossroads, right?
00:13:21.117 --> 00:13:23.219
And there's the great prophet yogi berra once said,
00:13:23.219 --> 00:13:25.622
When you come to a fork in the road, you take it, okay?
00:13:25.622 --> 00:13:28.258
And so this is where christianity is now.
00:13:28.258 --> 00:13:30.894
We are at a point of no return.
00:13:30.894 --> 00:13:32.695
We cannot share a culture with this.
00:13:32.695 --> 00:13:34.264
And tim walz is telling you out loud
00:13:34.264 --> 00:13:36.466
He has no plans of sharing it with you either.
00:13:36.466 --> 00:13:38.568
Yeah, steve, what a great break down all around.
00:13:38.568 --> 00:13:40.837
Hey, we've got about a minute left before we let you go.
00:13:40.837 --> 00:13:43.172
The big, beautiful bill.
00:13:43.172 --> 00:13:44.574
President trump is working through congress right now.
00:13:44.574 --> 00:13:47.410
I like the bill. what are your thoughts on it?
00:13:47.410 --> 00:13:50.313
I like the bill overall.
00:13:50.847 --> 00:13:52.015
Yeah.
00:13:52.015 --> 00:13:53.216
I think, some of the people that were complaining about
00:13:53.216 --> 00:13:54.684
If they had not
00:13:54.684 --> 00:13:55.919
And i'm a little partial chip roy is one of my best friends.
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:58.054
But frankly,
00:13:58.054 --> 00:13:58.588
If chip roy
00:13:58.588 --> 00:13:59.689
And some of the few had not done the things they did,
00:13:59.689 --> 00:14:00.790
They made it better than it is now.
00:14:00.790 --> 00:14:02.558
The question becomes any negotiation.
00:14:02.558 --> 00:14:04.394
Is this the best deal you can get? right?
00:14:04.394 --> 00:14:05.762
You're playing chicken.
00:14:05.762 --> 00:14:06.663
That's kind of what's going on right now.
00:14:06.663 --> 00:14:08.064
But overall i like the bill
00:14:08.064 --> 00:14:09.499
And it will probably be the only meaningful thing,
00:14:09.499 --> 00:14:11.734
Sadly, that congress will do this year.
00:14:11.734 --> 00:14:13.136
And i think the white house knows this,
00:14:13.136 --> 00:14:14.570
Which is why they're trying to stuff as much stuff
00:14:14.570 --> 00:14:16.306
Into that bill right now as they possibly can,
00:14:16.306 --> 00:14:18.508
And then just get out of dodge.
00:14:18.508 --> 00:14:19.943
Yeah, steve and i shudder to think.
00:14:19.943 --> 00:14:21.344
By the way, midterms, believe it or not,
00:14:21.344 --> 00:14:23.012
Folks, only about a year and a half away.
00:14:23.012 --> 00:14:24.380
I shudder to think you saw what tim walsh just said.
00:14:24.380 --> 00:14:27.050
If democrats got control of the house,
00:14:27.050 --> 00:14:29.018
You know, the impeachment proceedings
00:14:29.018 --> 00:14:31.087
Against president trump the next day.
00:14:31.087 --> 00:14:32.789
Yeah, next day. insanity.
00:14:32.789 --> 00:14:34.958
But thank god we have you, steve.
00:14:34.958 --> 00:14:36.326
Days of voice for sanity, bringing light to the darkness,
00:14:36.326 --> 00:14:39.329
Catching folks every day on the steve day show on the blaze tv.
00:14:39.329 --> 00:14:42.332
Steve god bless.
00:14:42.332 --> 00:14:43.533
Keep up the great work, my friend.
00:14:43.533 --> 00:14:45.234
And coming up,
00:14:45.234 --> 00:14:46.536
We're going to tell you about the super supplement
00:14:46.536 --> 00:14:49.505
From israel that can change your life.
00:14:49.505 --> 00:14:53.376
That's next. stick around.
00:14:53.376 --> 00:14:57.003
That's next. stick around.
00:14:57.003 --> 00:14:59.989
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
00:15:00.756 --> 00:15:02.524
What if one simple addition to your daily routine could
00:15:02.524 --> 00:15:06.662
Support your heart?
00:15:06.662 --> 00:15:08.063
Energize your body and even help you to think more clearly.
00:15:08.063 --> 00:15:12.601
That's exactly what virginia is doing for countless people
00:15:12.601 --> 00:15:15.637
Across the country.
00:15:15.637 --> 00:15:16.939
Backed by groundbreaking science and inspired by the health
00:15:16.939 --> 00:15:20.442
Benefits of red wine without the alcohol or sugar.
00:15:20.442 --> 00:15:23.812
Virginia is transforming how we think about cellular
00:15:23.812 --> 00:15:27.349
Health, circulation, and natural energy.
00:15:27.349 --> 00:15:30.519
It's not just a supplement.
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:32.054
It's a daily breakthrough for your blood flow, vitality,
00:15:32.054 --> 00:15:36.025
And overall wellness.
00:15:36.025 --> 00:15:37.659
Let's take a closer look at what makes virginia such
00:15:37.659 --> 00:15:40.629
A powerful part of a healthy lifestyle.
00:15:40.629 --> 00:15:44.199
How do you venia.
00:15:44.633 --> 00:15:47.069
Folks, there are a variety of ways
00:15:47.069 --> 00:15:48.904
That you can incorporate vinegar into your daily life.
00:15:48.904 --> 00:15:51.874
I take one of these capsules every morning.
00:15:51.874 --> 00:15:53.942
But ellen, look, you've got many, many options here.
00:15:53.942 --> 00:15:57.413
Tell us more about it.
00:15:57.413 --> 00:15:58.580
So we have here 1000 red grapes,
00:15:58.580 --> 00:16:01.784
And there's a reason why we have 1000 regrets.
00:16:01.784 --> 00:16:03.519
Because in each one of these capsules, eric,
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.955
You have the goodness of a thousand red grapes.
00:16:06.955 --> 00:16:09.758
In this little capsule.
00:16:09.758 --> 00:16:10.926
It's it's a super powerful capsule.
00:16:10.926 --> 00:16:13.495
And that's all anchored in our technology.
00:16:13.495 --> 00:16:16.465
And by the way, folks, again, i take one capsule
00:16:16.465 --> 00:16:19.501
Every morning, one vanilla capsule.
00:16:19.501 --> 00:16:21.336
You'll see the other options in a second.
00:16:21.336 --> 00:16:22.638
There's much more than capsules,
00:16:22.638 --> 00:16:24.173
But it keeps me going throughout the day.
00:16:24.173 --> 00:16:26.075
My mental alertness, my stamina.
00:16:26.075 --> 00:16:28.377
It's been such a game changer for me.
00:16:28.377 --> 00:16:30.179
Goes back to the french paradox.
00:16:30.179 --> 00:16:32.614
I'm sure many of your viewers have heard of the french
00:16:32.614 --> 00:16:36.051
Paradox.
00:16:36.051 --> 00:16:37.319
You know, the french people that have a very, very fatty diet.
00:16:37.319 --> 00:16:40.355
Lots of paté, lots of lipids, cheese, cheeses.
00:16:40.355 --> 00:16:43.092
Exactly.
00:16:43.092 --> 00:16:44.193
However, they have amazing cardiovascular health.
00:16:44.193 --> 00:16:47.496
So when the scientists started to look into this, to understand
00:16:47.496 --> 00:16:51.200
What was driving that excellent
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:52.601
Cardiovascular health, they realized
00:16:52.601 --> 00:16:55.070
It was for moderate consumption of red wine, 2 to 3
00:16:55.070 --> 00:16:58.407
Glasses of red wine every single day.
00:16:58.407 --> 00:17:01.510
Yeah.
00:17:01.743 --> 00:17:02.644
And when they went to understand,
00:17:02.644 --> 00:17:03.846
What was it inside the red wine, they realized it was coming
00:17:03.846 --> 00:17:06.548
From a critical hero polyphenol called
00:17:06.548 --> 00:17:10.419
Resveratrol, together with all the other polyphenols,
00:17:10.419 --> 00:17:14.022
Cation, quercetin
00:17:14.022 --> 00:17:15.224
And vaccines and tannins all working together.
00:17:15.224 --> 00:17:18.327
So we went back to the red grape.
00:17:18.327 --> 00:17:20.996
And basically throughout technology that we've now spent
00:17:20.996 --> 00:17:24.299
$100 million developing this technology to be able
00:17:25.300 --> 00:17:29.338
To create the right environment where we take the plant once.
00:17:29.338 --> 00:17:32.941
In this case, we took the red grape once
00:17:32.941 --> 00:17:35.444
And through the magic we do with tissue culture
00:17:35.444 --> 00:17:38.614
In a way which is non-gmo.
00:17:38.614 --> 00:17:40.749
So we don't in any way
00:17:40.749 --> 00:17:41.984
Change the molecular composition of the actual compound itself.
00:17:41.984 --> 00:17:46.388
We were able to increase the levels of the posse
00:17:46.388 --> 00:17:48.590
Resveratrol more than 100 times. wow.
00:17:48.590 --> 00:17:51.793
So this is the magic.
00:17:51.793 --> 00:17:52.961
So whether it's inside each of the capsules, the same amount.
00:17:52.961 --> 00:17:56.365
The posse was very tall as a thousand red grapes.
00:17:56.365 --> 00:17:58.734
All the same amounts of passage. resveratrol.
00:17:58.734 --> 00:18:00.736
Going back to the french paradox as one bottle of red wine,
00:18:00.736 --> 00:18:05.407
No sugar, no calories, and of course, no alcohol.
00:18:05.407 --> 00:18:08.677
Amazing. it's a win win win.
00:18:08.677 --> 00:18:10.812
And folks, i mentioned the capsules
00:18:10.812 --> 00:18:12.481
And i asked at the top how do you venia ilan.
00:18:12.481 --> 00:18:15.184
Let's move on down the table here
00:18:15.184 --> 00:18:17.019
Because you also have coffee now.
00:18:17.019 --> 00:18:19.054
My wife drinks coffee all day but she doesn't need
00:18:19.054 --> 00:18:22.057
To do that anymore. if she's drinking many a coffee.
00:18:22.057 --> 00:18:24.693
So as you know, america runs on coffee.
00:18:24.693 --> 00:18:28.497
So for us, using coffee as a delivery mechanism
00:18:28.497 --> 00:18:31.667
Was a really important way to bring the power of vanilla
00:18:31.667 --> 00:18:34.436
To consumers.
00:18:34.436 --> 00:18:35.604
However, without venia coffee, you wake up in the morning
00:18:35.604 --> 00:18:39.541
And inside each one of our k-cup compatible coffee pods,
00:18:39.541 --> 00:18:43.979
You have the equivalent of one capsule of vanilla,
00:18:43.979 --> 00:18:46.949
So you don't need to have five coffees during the day.
00:18:46.949 --> 00:18:50.953
Average american has between 3 and 4 coffees a day.
00:18:50.953 --> 00:18:53.989
Way too much.
00:18:53.989 --> 00:18:55.057
Then they have the caffeine crash, right? correct.
00:18:55.057 --> 00:18:57.226
So now you get the benefit of the caffeine.
00:18:57.226 --> 00:18:59.761
And then with vanilla, which lasts in your body for 12 hours.
00:18:59.761 --> 00:19:04.166
And you.
00:19:04.433 --> 00:19:05.367
Have the benefits of being able to keep on
00:19:05.367 --> 00:19:07.569
Going through the day as a result
00:19:07.569 --> 00:19:09.504
Of the physical energy and mental alertness
00:19:09.504 --> 00:19:12.040
That comes from our policy
00:19:12.040 --> 00:19:13.575
Research, all contained in the vanilla.
00:19:13.575 --> 00:19:16.778
Island is delicious.
00:19:16.778 --> 00:19:18.714
The coffee's amazing.
00:19:18.714 --> 00:19:19.781
But what if you're not a caffeine person?
00:19:19.781 --> 00:19:22.351
So we have a great solution for you, eric.
00:19:22.351 --> 00:19:24.386
Now, it's important to understand that
00:19:24.386 --> 00:19:26.922
People out there drink decaf coffee
00:19:26.922 --> 00:19:29.458
Because they don't
00:19:29.458 --> 00:19:30.459
Want the jitters or the crash from caffeine.
00:19:30.459 --> 00:19:32.694
Yeah,
00:19:32.694 --> 00:19:33.095
But they're
00:19:33.095 --> 00:19:34.329
Not getting any of the energy from a caffeine as an example.
00:19:34.329 --> 00:19:37.099
Now they can get their energy as a result of blood flow
00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:42.170
From the vanilla that's inside out.
00:19:42.170 --> 00:19:44.072
Decaf coffee.
00:19:44.072 --> 00:19:45.340
So there's no jitter, no crash, and you get all your energy
00:19:45.340 --> 00:19:48.610
Through the day from the one capsule equivalent of vanilla
00:19:48.610 --> 00:19:52.914
That's inside each of our coffee.
00:19:52.914 --> 00:19:55.651
K-cup compatible pods.
00:19:55.651 --> 00:19:57.419
Now my wife, huge coffee person, my mom
00:19:57.419 --> 00:20:01.223
Being a big tea drinker.
00:20:01.223 --> 00:20:03.258
And you've got virginia tea.
00:20:03.258 --> 00:20:05.227
In the case of tea,
00:20:05.227 --> 00:20:06.528
159 million americans drink tea every single day.
00:20:06.528 --> 00:20:10.999
So another really important way to be able to give americans
00:20:10.999 --> 00:20:15.837
The goodness of virginia in their morning or afternoon
00:20:15.837 --> 00:20:19.641
Tea break. yeah.
00:20:19.641 --> 00:20:20.709
So you have the equivalent
00:20:20.709 --> 00:20:22.144
Of one capsule of vanilla in every single tea.
00:20:22.144 --> 00:20:25.180
Iced teas are very unique.
00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:28.317
Ellen, this is so good.
00:20:28.817 --> 00:20:30.385
This is cranberry, which i love, but you've got other flavors
00:20:30.385 --> 00:20:33.155
Of tea, right? yeah, that's the cranberry hibiscus.
00:20:33.155 --> 00:20:36.091
Okay.
00:20:36.091 --> 00:20:36.792
Organic tea with no caffeine.
00:20:36.792 --> 00:20:39.494
And so when you look
00:20:39.494 --> 00:20:40.729
At the range of flavors that we have, they appeal to all
00:20:40.729 --> 00:20:44.499
The different tastes of america.
00:20:44.499 --> 00:20:45.967
So we have a classic english breakfast tea.
00:20:45.967 --> 00:20:48.704
And then we have green tea.
00:20:48.704 --> 00:20:50.372
Green tea is trending in a major way.
00:20:50.372 --> 00:20:52.374
Oh yeah.
00:20:52.374 --> 00:20:53.208
And for those some of those people
00:20:53.208 --> 00:20:54.476
That are really looking for a taste of asia, we have a matcha
00:20:54.476 --> 00:20:57.579
Green tea as well.
00:20:57.579 --> 00:20:59.114
All of our teas, eric, are rainforest alliance certified.
00:20:59.114 --> 00:21:04.019
So we're going to considerable trouble
00:21:04.019 --> 00:21:06.888
To make sure that we're
00:21:06.888 --> 00:21:07.689
Doing things the right way
00:21:07.689 --> 00:21:08.990
From a sustainability perspective,
00:21:08.990 --> 00:21:10.892
Which is so important for our company.
00:21:10.892 --> 00:21:14.062
And then ultimately we providing a very unique solution
00:21:14.062 --> 00:21:17.165
To our consumers, giving them that mental alertness,
00:21:17.165 --> 00:21:20.502
Physical energy, and important helping through blood flow
00:21:20.502 --> 00:21:25.507
Remove cellular toxins from the body,
00:21:25.507 --> 00:21:29.411
Ultimately giving them a really valuable health
00:21:29.411 --> 00:21:32.681
And wellness solution
00:21:32.681 --> 00:21:33.949
To start the day and give them the benefits that they need.
00:21:33.949 --> 00:21:37.219
Ellen. well put.
00:21:37.219 --> 00:21:38.620
If you want to get vanilla
00:21:38.620 --> 00:21:39.955
And improve your life, your physical energy,
00:21:39.955 --> 00:21:42.324
Your stamina, your mental alertness,
00:21:42.324 --> 00:21:44.359
You see the information there on your screen.
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:46.695
Be sure to give them a call today.
00:21:46.695 --> 00:21:49.097
Folks, if you're experiencing similar challenges
00:21:49.097 --> 00:21:51.900
With energy focus or you just don't feel
00:21:51.900 --> 00:21:54.970
As sharp as you used to, i really think that if you try
00:21:54.970 --> 00:21:58.540
Veneers, you'll see a big difference. why?
00:21:58.540 --> 00:22:01.843
Because the science behind vanilla is sound and it works.
00:22:01.843 --> 00:22:06.014
Here's the best news for a limited time,
00:22:06.014 --> 00:22:08.183
You can get your first month absolutely free on all bundles.
00:22:08.183 --> 00:22:12.587
So give it a try.
00:22:12.587 --> 00:22:14.089
Call the number on the screen or go online to venia tbn.com.
00:22:14.089 --> 00:22:19.928
Well, we're talking about having a healthier body.
00:22:19.928 --> 00:22:22.631
What about a healthier country?
00:22:22.631 --> 00:22:24.399
A lot of it
00:22:24.399 --> 00:22:25.600
Leads back to those three s's that we talked about earlier
00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:28.537
In the show.
00:22:28.537 --> 00:22:29.471
I'll break it down in my final thoughts.
00:22:29.471 --> 00:22:31.606
Next.
00:22:31.606 --> 00:22:34.002
Next.
00:22:34.002 --> 00:22:36.813
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:39.449
As we wrap up here, we're talking earlier
00:22:39.449 --> 00:22:41.117
In the show about security, safety and sanity.
00:22:41.117 --> 00:22:44.587
And sadly, the cover up of when joe biden was in office.
00:22:44.587 --> 00:22:47.757
That cognitive decline we've got to turn around now.
00:22:47.757 --> 00:22:50.827
Makes me think of the book of proverbs, chapter 29, verse two,
00:22:50.827 --> 00:22:54.330
When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice.
00:22:54.330 --> 00:22:58.434
But when the wicked are in power, they groan.
00:22:58.434 --> 00:23:01.804
Welcome to 2025.
00:23:01.804 --> 00:23:03.573
And the turnaround we're seeing now that we have a white house
00:23:03.573 --> 00:23:06.576
That has a faith office
00:23:06.576 --> 00:23:08.077
In the west wing protecting christians.
00:23:08.077 --> 00:23:10.680
It's a new day for america, so be encouraged tomorrow.
00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:14.584
Aaron cohen, top terrorism expert, is here.
00:23:14.584 --> 00:23:17.053
Brooke goldstein
00:23:17.053 --> 00:23:18.287
As well, a middle east update that you won't want to miss
00:23:18.287 --> 00:23:20.823
Until then.
00:23:20.823 --> 00:23:21.958
God bless you and we'll see you soon.
00:23:21.958 --> 00:23:21.958
