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 22, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | May 22, 2025
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:03.059 --> 00:00:04.461
- I'm erick stakelbeck.
- 00:00:04.461 --> 00:00:05.528
- And here's the sad fact.
- 00:00:05.528 --> 00:00:08.098
- After a year and a half of pro hamas mobs running
- 00:00:08.098 --> 00:00:11.301
- Wild on college campuses and in american cities
- 00:00:11.301 --> 00:00:15.105
- Calling for death to israel and the jews.
- 00:00:15.105 --> 00:00:17.907
- Violence was inevitable.
- 00:00:17.907 --> 00:00:20.610
- Anti-jewish hatred always starts with words,
- 00:00:20.610 --> 00:00:23.947
- Threats and incitement.
- 00:00:23.947 --> 00:00:25.815
- And it's all downhill from there.
- 00:00:25.815 --> 00:00:28.184
- Which brings me to the act of evil that we saw wednesday
- 00:00:28.184 --> 00:00:31.821
- Night in washington, d.c., where a young jewish couple
- 00:00:31.821 --> 00:00:35.358
- Was gunned down, murdered in cold blood
- 00:00:35.358 --> 00:00:38.428
- By a pro-palestinian domestic terrorist.
- 00:00:38.428 --> 00:00:41.898
- It was the all too predictable outcome of months of incitement
- 00:00:41.898 --> 00:00:46.202
- By the so-called pro-palestinian movement in america.
- 00:00:46.202 --> 00:00:50.306
- This is where their anti-semitic venom leads.
- 00:00:50.306 --> 00:00:54.077
- And this is what they really want.
- 00:00:54.077 --> 00:00:56.479
- Murder, mayhem and the elimination of jews
- 00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.350
- And the world's one and only jewish state.
- 00:01:00.350 --> 00:01:03.453
- This is no time to mince words.
- 00:01:03.453 --> 00:01:05.822
- So let's tell it like it is.
- 00:01:05.822 --> 00:01:07.657
- The young couple
- 00:01:07.657 --> 00:01:08.825
- That was murdered worked at the israeli embassy in d.c..
- 00:01:08.825 --> 00:01:12.495
- Your own flesh and skin, sarah lynn milgrom, were engaged
- 00:01:12.495 --> 00:01:16.266
- To be married.
- 00:01:16.266 --> 00:01:17.333
- Your own had bought a ring
- 00:01:17.333 --> 00:01:18.935
- And was planning to propose to sarah next week in jerusalem.
- 00:01:18.935 --> 00:01:23.239
- He was 30 years old.
- 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:24.874
- Sarah was 26.
- 00:01:24.874 --> 00:01:26.709
- They had everything to live for.
- 00:01:26.709 --> 00:01:28.711
- They were ready to build a life together.
- 00:01:28.711 --> 00:01:31.514
- And then on wednesday night,
- 00:01:31.514 --> 00:01:33.016
- Their lives were brutally snuffed out
- 00:01:33.016 --> 00:01:35.919
- As they were leaving an event at the capital jewish museum,
- 00:01:35.919 --> 00:01:38.955
- Just blocks from the white house.
- 00:01:38.955 --> 00:01:40.823
- A gunman opened fire, killing them both.
- 00:01:40.823 --> 00:01:44.127
- The attacker, 30 year old elias rodriguez of chicago,
- 00:01:44.127 --> 00:01:48.031
- Chanted free palestine as he was taken into custody.
- 00:01:48.031 --> 00:01:52.268
- Police say he paced outside the museum
- 00:01:52.268 --> 00:01:54.837
- Before the attack and later said i did it for garza.
- 00:01:54.837 --> 00:01:59.008
- He was known as a radical left wing activist,
- 00:01:59.008 --> 00:02:01.911
- Which is no surprise.
- 00:02:01.911 --> 00:02:03.446
- And he was a domestic terrorist.
- 00:02:03.446 --> 00:02:06.783
- Take a look.
- 00:02:06.783 --> 00:02:09.619
- Three brothers burned
- 00:02:10.119 --> 00:02:12.455
- Three books outside of three
- 00:02:12.455 --> 00:02:17.360
- Retail stores.
- 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.430
- Free palestine.
- 00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:22.031
- A chant heard
- 00:02:22.031 --> 00:02:23.132
- From coast to coast since the october 7th massacre.
- 00:02:23.132 --> 00:02:26.636
- But it's not really about freedom.
- 00:02:26.636 --> 00:02:28.972
- It just means they want israel erased from the map.
- 00:02:28.972 --> 00:02:32.942
- Here's israeli foreign minister gideon saar.
- 00:02:32.942 --> 00:02:36.479
- There is a direct line connecting anti-semitic
- 00:02:37.380 --> 00:02:39.849
- And anti-israeli incitement to this murder.
- 00:02:39.849 --> 00:02:43.586
- This incitement is also done
- 00:02:44.187 --> 00:02:46.889
- By leaders and officials of many countries
- 00:02:46.889 --> 00:02:50.093
- And international organizations, especially from europe.
- 00:02:50.093 --> 00:02:55.331
- The words
- 00:02:55.632 --> 00:02:57.734
- Are the modern.
- 00:02:57.734 --> 00:03:01.137
- Love labels.
- 00:03:01.471 --> 00:03:04.407
- These labels about genocide, crimes
- 00:03:04.407 --> 00:03:07.543
- Against humanity, and murdering babies
- 00:03:07.543 --> 00:03:10.847
- Paved the way exactly
- 00:03:10.847 --> 00:03:13.316
- For such murders.
- 00:03:13.316 --> 00:03:16.986
- Now, thankfully, israel is not alone in this fight.
- 00:03:16.986 --> 00:03:20.323
- Attorney general pam bondi and other members of the trump
- 00:03:20.323 --> 00:03:23.259
- Administration are vowing to crush
- 00:03:23.259 --> 00:03:25.495
- And prosecute the anti-semitic scourge
- 00:03:25.495 --> 00:03:28.665
- Wherever it rears its demonic head.
- 00:03:28.665 --> 00:03:31.200
- Here's israel's ambassador to the united states.
- 00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:33.670
- You kill lighter talking about that support.
- 00:03:33.670 --> 00:03:36.439
- Last night.
- 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.075
- On the way in,
- 00:03:39.409 --> 00:03:40.877
- This bondi was kind enough to hand me the phone.
- 00:03:40.877 --> 00:03:43.746
- And the other line was the president
- 00:03:43.746 --> 00:03:45.114
- Of the united states, donald trump,
- 00:03:45.114 --> 00:03:48.451
- Who told me that his administration
- 00:03:48.451 --> 00:03:51.321
- Is going to do everything
- 00:03:51.321 --> 00:03:53.623
- It can possibly do
- 00:03:53.623 --> 00:03:56.225
- To fight and end anti-semitism
- 00:03:56.225 --> 00:03:59.429
- And the hatred
- 00:03:59.762 --> 00:04:00.797
- That's being directed, the demonization
- 00:04:00.797 --> 00:04:02.699
- And delegitimization of the state of israel.
- 00:04:02.699 --> 00:04:05.635
- Together with president trump, our prime minister,
- 00:04:05.635 --> 00:04:08.571
- Benjamin netanyahu, we'll stand.
- 00:04:08.571 --> 00:04:10.640
- We'll stand together, tall and firm,
- 00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:13.242
- And we will confront this moral depravity
- 00:04:13.242 --> 00:04:16.145
- Without fear and with determination.
- 00:04:16.145 --> 00:04:19.549
- Folks, i interviewed ambassador leiter on capitol hill
- 00:04:20.583 --> 00:04:23.186
- Just two weeks ago.
- 00:04:23.186 --> 00:04:24.587
- You saw him here on the show?
- 00:04:24.587 --> 00:04:26.322
- I've been to the israeli embassy in d.c.
- 00:04:26.322 --> 00:04:28.524
- Many times and have known many staffers there.
- 00:04:28.524 --> 00:04:31.728
- Friends, people a lot like your own shinseki and sarah
- 00:04:31.728 --> 00:04:35.932
- Lynn milgrom.
- 00:04:35.932 --> 00:04:36.933
- This evil cannot and will not stand by the way.
- 00:04:36.933 --> 00:04:41.437
- Maybe what happened wednesday night will be a wake up
- 00:04:41.437 --> 00:04:44.273
- Call for every democrat opposing president trump's efforts
- 00:04:44.273 --> 00:04:48.177
- To deport radical pro hamas activists like mahmud khalil
- 00:04:48.177 --> 00:04:53.316
- And maybe the
- 00:04:53.316 --> 00:04:54.550
- Governments of the u.k., france and canada will think twice
- 00:04:54.550 --> 00:04:57.854
- Next time before issuing joint statements, as they did
- 00:04:57.854 --> 00:05:01.724
- Earlier this week, making false accusations against israel
- 00:05:01.724 --> 00:05:05.962
- And threatening it with sanctions.
- 00:05:05.962 --> 00:05:08.564
- Maybe, but i won't hold my breath.
- 00:05:08.564 --> 00:05:11.334
- Folks, let's face it, at the end of the day, it's up
- 00:05:11.334 --> 00:05:14.070
- To you and me, the body of christ,
- 00:05:14.070 --> 00:05:17.073
- To shine a light into this growing anti-semitic darkness.
- 00:05:17.073 --> 00:05:21.411
- And if you think you don't
- 00:05:21.411 --> 00:05:22.512
- Have a dog in this fight, remember this.
- 00:05:22.512 --> 00:05:25.448
- It always starts with the jews, but it never ends
- 00:05:25.448 --> 00:05:29.085
- With the jews.
- 00:05:29.085 --> 00:05:30.153
- The same radical forces that despise israel
- 00:05:30.153 --> 00:05:33.156
- And the jewish people despise christians too.
- 00:05:33.156 --> 00:05:37.059
- Coming up, we're joined by one of the world's
- 00:05:37.059 --> 00:05:39.061
- Leading advocates against anti-semitism
- 00:05:39.061 --> 00:05:42.098
- To break down the way forward
- 00:05:42.098 --> 00:05:44.400
- After what happened in washington last night.
- 00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:47.036
- And it all starts now.
- 00:05:47.036 --> 00:06:05.288
- She's a fearless defender of human rights
- 00:06:06.155 --> 00:06:08.624
- And one of the world's
- 00:06:08.624 --> 00:06:09.492
- Leading voices combating anti-semitism,
- 00:06:09.492 --> 00:06:12.562
- Especially right here in the west.
- 00:06:12.562 --> 00:06:14.897
- Brook goldstein is founder and executive director
- 00:06:14.897 --> 00:06:17.433
- Of the lawfare project, a legal think tank protecting the civil
- 00:06:17.433 --> 00:06:21.637
- Rights of jewish communities and all communities worldwide.
- 00:06:21.637 --> 00:06:25.141
- She joins us now to break down what needs to be done
- 00:06:25.141 --> 00:06:28.077
- In the wake of last night's horrific terror attack in d.c..
- 00:06:28.077 --> 00:06:31.848
- Brook, i'm almost without words here.
- 00:06:31.848 --> 00:06:33.816
- After last night,
- 00:06:33.816 --> 00:06:34.750
- What i will say is you have been a voice
- 00:06:34.750 --> 00:06:37.019
- Crying in the wilderness about this for years.
- 00:06:37.019 --> 00:06:40.890
- You warned this is where it was all heading.
- 00:06:40.890 --> 00:06:43.326
- Now we're here.
- 00:06:43.326 --> 00:06:44.427
- What are your thoughts in the wake of last night?
- 00:06:44.427 --> 00:06:46.829
- Who's complicit in this and what can be done?
- 00:06:46.829 --> 00:06:50.900
- Thank you, eric, for having me.
- 00:06:51.534 --> 00:06:53.703
- Last night, two beautiful
- 00:06:53.703 --> 00:06:56.572
- Young jewish people were shot
- 00:06:56.572 --> 00:07:00.243
- At point blank right before they were about to get engaged.
- 00:07:00.243 --> 00:07:04.380
- They were shot, and they were killed for being jewish.
- 00:07:04.380 --> 00:07:08.284
- And the zaka,
- 00:07:08.284 --> 00:07:11.487
- Unit, that is a volunteer unit that goes and collects
- 00:07:11.487 --> 00:07:16.158
- The blood on the streets of what happened in d.c.
- 00:07:16.158 --> 00:07:19.729
- Is is the same volunteer group that just on october
- 00:07:19.729 --> 00:07:23.799
- The 7th, was picking up the blood of dead jews.
- 00:07:23.799 --> 00:07:27.670
- Also shot point blank on october the 7th.
- 00:07:27.670 --> 00:07:30.940
- Tortured. killed.
- 00:07:30.940 --> 00:07:31.807
- Burned alive. murdered.
- 00:07:31.807 --> 00:07:34.143
- Because whether you're on the streets of d.c.
- 00:07:34.143 --> 00:07:37.480
- Or if you're in israel, or if you're in europe,
- 00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.783
- Jew hatred is alive and it's well.
- 00:07:40.783 --> 00:07:44.520
- And this is the natural consequences for turning a
- 00:07:44.520 --> 00:07:48.257
- Blind eye to this state sponsored radicalization
- 00:07:48.257 --> 00:07:53.563
- And the globalization of the into fodder
- 00:07:53.563 --> 00:07:56.699
- And the bringing of the hate education to our campuses.
- 00:07:56.699 --> 00:08:00.803
- And it is also a direct result
- 00:08:00.803 --> 00:08:02.538
- Of the blood libels being spread in the media.
- 00:08:02.538 --> 00:08:05.575
- And this is the natural consequence.
- 00:08:05.575 --> 00:08:07.810
- And there are those who would like us
- 00:08:07.810 --> 00:08:09.545
- To think, well, this is just about politics.
- 00:08:09.545 --> 00:08:11.681
- You know, today
- 00:08:11.681 --> 00:08:12.782
- The attorney general, pam
- 00:08:12.782 --> 00:08:14.116
- Bondi, was asked in her press conference
- 00:08:14.116 --> 00:08:16.285
- Where she was visibly distraught.
- 00:08:16.285 --> 00:08:19.322
- What is the motive of this?
- 00:08:19.322 --> 00:08:21.424
- And it's obvious
- 00:08:21.424 --> 00:08:23.292
- The perpetrator said it himself when he was arrested.
- 00:08:23.292 --> 00:08:26.596
- He did this for gaza.
- 00:08:27.096 --> 00:08:28.631
- He did it to so-called
- 00:08:28.631 --> 00:08:29.699
- Free palestine because that's what is so called
- 00:08:29.699 --> 00:08:32.702
- Policy and advocacy is genocidal jew hatred.
- 00:08:32.702 --> 00:08:36.439
- And i will not stand for it.
- 00:08:36.439 --> 00:08:38.040
- And i, i call upon the jewish community and all of our allies
- 00:08:38.040 --> 00:08:42.445
- To get on this street now,
- 00:08:42.445 --> 00:08:45.314
- And we have to demand justice for sarah and you.
- 00:08:45.314 --> 00:08:49.485
- Yeah. brooke.
- 00:08:49.852 --> 00:08:50.786
- Well said. this has to be a turning point.
- 00:08:50.786 --> 00:08:52.421
- What happened last night has to be the red line in the sand.
- 00:08:52.421 --> 00:08:55.925
- But one of the incubators, as you mentioned, for this anti
- 00:08:55.925 --> 00:08:59.595
- Jew hatred, the madness that we're seeing
- 00:08:59.595 --> 00:09:01.864
- Have been obviously american college campuses.
- 00:09:01.864 --> 00:09:04.834
- Hunter college, part of city university of new york.
- 00:09:04.834 --> 00:09:08.170
- The lawfare project, your great organization,
- 00:09:08.170 --> 00:09:10.172
- Has filed a lawsuit against them.
- 00:09:10.172 --> 00:09:11.674
- Now, the department of justice getting involved on your side.
- 00:09:11.674 --> 00:09:15.645
- Give us an update on this very important case.
- 00:09:15.645 --> 00:09:19.215
- Well, this case is very significant
- 00:09:20.016 --> 00:09:21.951
- Because we are representing doctor leah garrett,
- 00:09:21.951 --> 00:09:24.587
- Who is the director of jewish studies and a professor at cuny.
- 00:09:24.587 --> 00:09:27.890
- But this case is not just about doctor garrett.
- 00:09:27.890 --> 00:09:30.960
- This case is about the radicalization happening,
- 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.430
- The pro terror radicalization happening on our campuses
- 00:09:34.430 --> 00:09:38.701
- Across this country, and cuny being,
- 00:09:38.701 --> 00:09:41.637
- You know, one of the worst examples.
- 00:09:41.637 --> 00:09:43.906
- And what's so significant is recently
- 00:09:43.906 --> 00:09:45.841
- The department of justice
- 00:09:45.841 --> 00:09:47.510
- For this statement of interest in support of of my plaintiff.
- 00:09:47.510 --> 00:09:52.081
- And it's significant because it signals that the
- 00:09:52.081 --> 00:09:54.517
- Government is taking seriously the application of title seven
- 00:09:54.517 --> 00:09:58.621
- Of the civil rights act to protect employees.
- 00:09:58.621 --> 00:10:01.891
- The department of justice put
- 00:10:01.891 --> 00:10:03.059
- A statement of interest together that made it very clear
- 00:10:03.059 --> 00:10:06.062
- That when speech crosses the line into targeted
- 00:10:06.062 --> 00:10:09.498
- Into threatening and disrupted conduct,
- 00:10:09.498 --> 00:10:12.668
- It loses its first amendment protection.
- 00:10:12.668 --> 00:10:15.037
- You cannot hide behind the first amendment.
- 00:10:15.037 --> 00:10:17.339
- And we need to take, a hard look at how our campuses
- 00:10:17.339 --> 00:10:21.410
- Have become radicalized.
- 00:10:21.410 --> 00:10:22.611
- And this lawsuit, obviously is a major step towards doing that
- 00:10:22.611 --> 00:10:26.248
- And ensuring justice and accountability
- 00:10:26.248 --> 00:10:29.051
- For those who are openly, intentionally violating
- 00:10:29.051 --> 00:10:32.788
- The basic civil rights of their jewish students and professors.
- 00:10:32.788 --> 00:10:35.958
- Amen. brook. well said.
- 00:10:35.958 --> 00:10:37.159
- Keep up the great work we are with you folks.
- 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.462
- Check brook out on x across social media
- 00:10:39.462 --> 00:10:41.530
- And the lawfare project. she's doing incredible work.
- 00:10:41.530 --> 00:10:44.133
- Brook. keep it up.
- 00:10:44.133 --> 00:10:45.234
- And coming up after the break, one of the world's top
- 00:10:45.234 --> 00:10:48.437
- Counterterrorism experts and israeli special forces
- 00:10:48.437 --> 00:10:51.741
- Veteran joins us to break down what happened in dc last night,
- 00:10:51.741 --> 00:10:55.745
- What's happening in the middle east
- 00:10:55.745 --> 00:10:57.379
- And why it all matters to you.
- 00:10:57.379 --> 00:10:59.281
- That's next. don't move.
- 00:10:59.281 --> 00:11:07.004
- That's next. don't move.
- 00:11:07.004 --> 00:11:10.423
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:11:11.190 --> 00:11:12.859
- The middle east never sleeps.
- 00:11:12.859 --> 00:11:14.894
- That's why we turn to our good friend aaron cohen.
- 00:11:14.894 --> 00:11:17.530
- He's a veteran of israeli special operations
- 00:11:17.530 --> 00:11:20.199
- And one of the world's leading experts
- 00:11:20.199 --> 00:11:22.535
- On counterterrorism, intelligence and urban warfare.
- 00:11:22.535 --> 00:11:26.105
- He's trained elite units, worked inside the toughest conflict
- 00:11:26.105 --> 00:11:29.809
- Zones on earth, and brings a unique,
- 00:11:29.809 --> 00:11:32.245
- No nonsense perspective you won't hear anywhere else.
- 00:11:32.245 --> 00:11:35.748
- He's also the host of the aaron
- 00:11:35.748 --> 00:11:37.183
- Cohen show, where he breaks down
- 00:11:37.183 --> 00:11:38.885
- Global threats, cultural warfare and what's really at stake
- 00:11:38.885 --> 00:11:42.355
- For israel, america and the free world.
- 00:11:42.355 --> 00:11:44.957
- Aaron, it's always great to see you.
- 00:11:44.957 --> 00:11:46.292
- I wish it was under better circumstances.
- 00:11:46.292 --> 00:11:48.461
- We had this terror attack in washington, d.c.
- 00:11:48.461 --> 00:11:51.197
- Last night.
- 00:11:51.197 --> 00:11:52.265
- You've been monitoring this very closely, aaron,
- 00:11:52.265 --> 00:11:54.300
- Really for years, the threats against the jewish people,
- 00:11:54.300 --> 00:11:57.637
- Including right here in america.
- 00:11:57.637 --> 00:11:59.505
- What are your big takeaways in the wake of last night?
- 00:11:59.505 --> 00:12:03.743
- Well, eric, it's always good to see you, my friend.
- 00:12:04.777 --> 00:12:06.746
- Here's where i'm out with this attack.
- 00:12:06.746 --> 00:12:08.748
- Last night in dc, this shooter
- 00:12:08.748 --> 00:12:12.852
- Didn't meet some hamas recruiter in an alley.
- 00:12:12.852 --> 00:12:17.957
- He met an algorithm is how i frame it.
- 00:12:17.957 --> 00:12:22.562
- This guy as, like many of all of the chaos
- 00:12:22.562 --> 00:12:27.700
- And individuals
- 00:12:27.700 --> 00:12:28.367
- We've been
- 00:12:28.367 --> 00:12:29.535
- Seeing over the last two years on these college campuses
- 00:12:29.535 --> 00:12:31.904
- Was likely radicalized online.
- 00:12:32.505 --> 00:12:34.473
- Let me explain what that is.
- 00:12:34.473 --> 00:12:36.075
- This is what we refer to, excuse me,
- 00:12:36.075 --> 00:12:38.811
- In the counterterrorism space as fifth generation warfare.
- 00:12:38.811 --> 00:12:43.182
- Eric, this is where influence replaces explosives.
- 00:12:43.182 --> 00:12:49.388
- And where ideology replaces orders.
- 00:12:49.388 --> 00:12:53.492
- And these embassy staffers,
- 00:12:53.492 --> 00:12:56.495
- In my opinion, this wasn't just an attack
- 00:12:56.495 --> 00:12:59.665
- On two individuals who were slated to get engaged.
- 00:12:59.665 --> 00:13:03.569
- This was an attack on the israeli government.
- 00:13:03.569 --> 00:13:07.139
- And here's what that means.
- 00:13:07.139 --> 00:13:08.975
- There are serious diplomatic and security implications
- 00:13:08.975 --> 00:13:14.914
- In wake of the fact that these were
- 00:13:14.914 --> 00:13:17.216
- That this was a government type of strike.
- 00:13:17.216 --> 00:13:20.553
- And even though it was conducted
- 00:13:20.553 --> 00:13:21.654
- By an individually radicalized lone wolf,
- 00:13:21.654 --> 00:13:25.024
- The psychology is very significant,
- 00:13:25.024 --> 00:13:28.628
- Which means that he was attacking the nation of israel.
- 00:13:28.628 --> 00:13:31.764
- This is an attack on the jewish people.
- 00:13:31.764 --> 00:13:34.300
- And this is what i've been saying for the last two years,
- 00:13:34.300 --> 00:13:37.570
- Which is if you continue to allow this rot to fester
- 00:13:37.570 --> 00:13:42.541
- On college campuses, and if major platforms continue
- 00:13:42.541 --> 00:13:47.146
- To allow jew hatred, you're going to have
- 00:13:47.146 --> 00:13:50.082
- A natural escalation into this violence.
- 00:13:50.082 --> 00:13:54.153
- I give credit to the fbi and the doj,
- 00:13:54.887 --> 00:13:57.256
- But that's where i'm at right now with all of this.
- 00:13:57.256 --> 00:13:59.191
- What we're seeing here is the systematic
- 00:13:59.191 --> 00:14:02.495
- Hijacking of algorithms by america's enemies.
- 00:14:02.495 --> 00:14:07.266
- Iran pumping the anti-semitism.
- 00:14:07.266 --> 00:14:09.936
- And this isn't hacking, eric. it's hijacking.
- 00:14:09.936 --> 00:14:12.905
- That algorithm rewards rage.
- 00:14:12.905 --> 00:14:15.141
- It rewards chaos.
- 00:14:15.141 --> 00:14:16.876
- The more that chaos spikes online.
- 00:14:16.876 --> 00:14:19.912
- I ran takes that and uses it to drive anti-semitism.
- 00:14:19.912 --> 00:14:23.950
- Hamas uses it to drive anti-israel propaganda.
- 00:14:23.950 --> 00:14:27.620
- Russia uses it to divide america from within,
- 00:14:27.620 --> 00:14:31.290
- And china uses it to just continue to destabilize us.
- 00:14:31.290 --> 00:14:34.927
- And our enemies are attacking us.
- 00:14:34.927 --> 00:14:36.629
- Eric, without ever having to fire a shot.
- 00:14:36.629 --> 00:14:40.766
- This psychological warfare through the algorithm
- 00:14:40.766 --> 00:14:44.103
- Is the number one threat.
- 00:14:44.103 --> 00:14:45.938
- Well, aaron, great break down all around.
- 00:14:45.938 --> 00:14:48.240
- And this was sadly, i hate to say it, inevitable.
- 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.043
- I think what happened last night
- 00:14:51.043 --> 00:14:52.645
- Because they've been pushing violence for years.
- 00:14:52.645 --> 00:14:55.648
- The incitement,
- 00:14:55.648 --> 00:14:56.716
- The jew hatred on college campuses in the streets
- 00:14:56.716 --> 00:15:00.019
- Of the united states.
- 00:15:00.019 --> 00:15:01.387
- Could this, aaron be a turning point in that regard?
- 00:15:01.387 --> 00:15:04.123
- Is this the ultimate wake up
- 00:15:04.123 --> 00:15:05.758
- Call for people now, the trump administration,
- 00:15:05.758 --> 00:15:08.227
- Very serious about this, of course, have issued
- 00:15:08.227 --> 00:15:10.129
- Statements already vowed to get to the bottom of it.
- 00:15:10.129 --> 00:15:12.331
- But could this, god willing be the turning point?
- 00:15:12.331 --> 00:15:16.335
- Here's why i'm out with that, eric.
- 00:15:17.069 --> 00:15:18.270
- It's a very smart question.
- 00:15:18.270 --> 00:15:20.239
- I believe that this was inevitable,
- 00:15:20.239 --> 00:15:23.242
- And i believe that we are going to see only more escalation.
- 00:15:23.242 --> 00:15:28.314
- I predicted this violence 18 months ago.
- 00:15:28.314 --> 00:15:31.784
- You and i have spoken to this.
- 00:15:31.784 --> 00:15:33.986
- This only gets worse.
- 00:15:33.986 --> 00:15:35.621
- And when you've got millions
- 00:15:35.621 --> 00:15:36.589
- And millions of devices like these cell phones
- 00:15:36.589 --> 00:15:39.592
- In the hands of kids starting at 13.
- 00:15:39.592 --> 00:15:42.728
- That algorithm again fueled by china,
- 00:15:42.728 --> 00:15:46.298
- By iran, by hamas, by america's
- 00:15:46.298 --> 00:15:51.470
- Enemies, are able to infiltrate
- 00:15:51.470 --> 00:15:55.708
- The minds of kids through that algorithm.
- 00:15:55.708 --> 00:16:00.179
- And so this is only going to escalate
- 00:16:00.179 --> 00:16:03.115
- Because nobody's taking away those cell phones.
- 00:16:03.115 --> 00:16:06.519
- And so it's only going to get worse.
- 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:08.320
- It's going to continue to escalate.
- 00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:10.189
- And like you mentioned, the fbi.
- 00:16:10.189 --> 00:16:12.591
- My hat's off to pam bondi and the doj.
- 00:16:12.591 --> 00:16:15.294
- They came out right away.
- 00:16:15.294 --> 00:16:16.595
- They're taking it very seriously.
- 00:16:16.595 --> 00:16:18.431
- And i believe they're going to throw the book at this guy.
- 00:16:18.431 --> 00:16:21.100
- There's no question in my mind.
- 00:16:21.100 --> 00:16:22.535
- But here's my bigger question eric.
- 00:16:22.535 --> 00:16:25.738
- How many
- 00:16:26.005 --> 00:16:26.839
- More like this guy are being built
- 00:16:26.839 --> 00:16:30.843
- In the dark corners of the internet right now?
- 00:16:30.843 --> 00:16:34.613
- Eric, here's what i think needs to happen.
- 00:16:34.613 --> 00:16:37.650
- We need to start applying the israeli methodology
- 00:16:37.650 --> 00:16:42.154
- To our law enforcement because the threat has evolved.
- 00:16:42.154 --> 00:16:46.625
- But our ability to predict threats has not evolved.
- 00:16:46.625 --> 00:16:50.096
- What's going to prevent the next attack?
- 00:16:50.096 --> 00:16:51.764
- And what i'm actively working on right now is i'm actively out
- 00:16:51.764 --> 00:16:56.669
- To ctos and investors
- 00:16:56.669 --> 00:16:59.705
- To put together
- 00:17:00.072 --> 00:17:03.075
- A system to detect threats, and i'm calling it
- 00:17:03.075 --> 00:17:06.946
- Ai powered domestic threat platform is what it is.
- 00:17:06.946 --> 00:17:11.584
- It's an early stage radicalization detection system
- 00:17:11.584 --> 00:17:17.189
- That, if designed and built
- 00:17:17.189 --> 00:17:18.424
- Properly, can be put out to schools, to law enforcement,
- 00:17:18.424 --> 00:17:22.695
- And used on social media and digital places
- 00:17:22.695 --> 00:17:26.499
- To detect the threat before it actually rises.
- 00:17:26.499 --> 00:17:31.137
- And i think that this is the evolution that u.s.
- 00:17:31.137 --> 00:17:33.572
- Law enforcement needs to make in order to be able
- 00:17:33.572 --> 00:17:36.709
- To deal with the emerging problem
- 00:17:36.709 --> 00:17:39.845
- Of the hijacked algorithm by america's enemies.
- 00:17:39.845 --> 00:17:44.049
- Aaron, you took the words out of my mouth.
- 00:17:44.049 --> 00:17:46.352
- I said, what can we do?
- 00:17:46.352 --> 00:17:47.520
- You just laid it out. you're doing it, folks.
- 00:17:47.520 --> 00:17:49.455
- Check him out on x.
- 00:17:49.455 --> 00:17:50.556
- Reach out to him on x across social media instagram.
- 00:17:50.556 --> 00:17:53.592
- Aaron's very active of course, host of the aaron cohen show.
- 00:17:53.592 --> 00:17:56.162
- And aaron, you mentioned israel after the break.
- 00:17:56.162 --> 00:17:58.597
- More with aaron cohen on the latest in israel.
- 00:17:58.597 --> 00:18:01.767
- What about syria?
- 00:18:01.767 --> 00:18:02.835
- Iran threats,
- 00:18:02.835 --> 00:18:03.936
- Gathering more with aaron cohen after the break.
- 00:18:03.936 --> 00:18:06.505
- Stick around.
- 00:18:06.505 --> 00:18:12.004
- Stick around.
- 00:18:12.004 --> 00:18:14.722
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight
- 00:18:15.456 --> 00:18:16.824
- We're talking to our good
- 00:18:16.824 --> 00:18:17.892
- Friend, israeli special forces veteran aaron cohen.
- 00:18:17.892 --> 00:18:21.229
- Aaron, you've had a lot to say about syria in the past week.
- 00:18:21.229 --> 00:18:24.098
- Some great breakdowns.
- 00:18:24.098 --> 00:18:25.733
- And look, an interesting strategy
- 00:18:25.733 --> 00:18:29.137
- Here by president trump.
- 00:18:29.137 --> 00:18:30.371
- I guess you would say syria has this new jihadi leadership.
- 00:18:30.371 --> 00:18:33.007
- President trump lifted sanctions.
- 00:18:33.007 --> 00:18:35.343
- People have asked what's going on here.
- 00:18:35.343 --> 00:18:37.011
- You've called it the trump trap doctrine.
- 00:18:37.011 --> 00:18:40.448
- Tell us what that is.
- 00:18:40.448 --> 00:18:43.351
- Eric, trump is using classic
- 00:18:43.351 --> 00:18:45.486
- Leverage to dictate what he wants to see happen
- 00:18:45.486 --> 00:18:50.792
- In the middle east, which is investment.
- 00:18:50.792 --> 00:18:54.762
- Tech. peace.
- 00:18:55.096 --> 00:18:57.498
- No more boots on the ground.
- 00:18:57.498 --> 00:18:59.067
- No more american boots in the ground in the middle east.
- 00:18:59.067 --> 00:19:01.436
- No more going to iraq. no going to iran.
- 00:19:01.436 --> 00:19:04.205
- And he's using that leverage
- 00:19:04.205 --> 00:19:05.373
- Playbook in his negotiating experience to trap,
- 00:19:05.373 --> 00:19:10.044
- Countries and leaders of countries
- 00:19:10.812 --> 00:19:13.848
- To be able to gain favor and to put america first.
- 00:19:13.848 --> 00:19:17.652
- And what he did was syria, which was basically say,
- 00:19:17.652 --> 00:19:21.289
- Look, you're going to get in bed.
- 00:19:21.289 --> 00:19:24.492
- We're going to let you in the door.
- 00:19:24.492 --> 00:19:26.227
- We're going to allow you to stay.
- 00:19:26.227 --> 00:19:27.762
- The leader of syria.
- 00:19:27.762 --> 00:19:29.631
- You're going to quietly shake hands with bibi.
- 00:19:29.631 --> 00:19:32.367
- You're going to join the abraham accords.
- 00:19:32.367 --> 00:19:34.836
- And what that does is it opens up the economy for syria
- 00:19:34.836 --> 00:19:39.073
- And the ability for syria to come into the first world
- 00:19:39.073 --> 00:19:43.144
- Economies and to flourish in syria has been in the dark ages
- 00:19:43.144 --> 00:19:46.514
- For the last decade since their war,
- 00:19:46.514 --> 00:19:48.349
- Syria gets rebuilt, israel has quiet on their northeastern,
- 00:19:48.349 --> 00:19:52.654
- Northeastern border, and it isolates iran.
- 00:19:52.654 --> 00:19:57.225
- It isolates russia.
- 00:19:57.692 --> 00:19:59.494
- And so the signaling is tremendous.
- 00:19:59.494 --> 00:20:01.796
- And it continues to push again, russia and iran into a corner,
- 00:20:01.796 --> 00:20:05.900
- Which is going to force leverage onto the ukraine war
- 00:20:05.900 --> 00:20:09.604
- And create quiet there,
- 00:20:09.604 --> 00:20:11.406
- Because putin's going to realize
- 00:20:11.406 --> 00:20:12.573
- That he's losing syria, which is where
- 00:20:12.573 --> 00:20:14.575
- The syrian president is now hiding in russia.
- 00:20:14.575 --> 00:20:17.345
- And then with iran, it forces iran to say,
- 00:20:17.345 --> 00:20:20.581
- Hey, maybe it's time to slow down the proliferation
- 00:20:20.581 --> 00:20:23.618
- Of our nuclear program and not get to weapons grade
- 00:20:23.618 --> 00:20:26.954
- Fission and centrifuge capabilities
- 00:20:26.954 --> 00:20:29.891
- Because we're being isolated as well.
- 00:20:29.891 --> 00:20:32.260
- Trump's pulling the entire middle east together.
- 00:20:32.260 --> 00:20:34.062
- Eric is pushing iran into a corner.
- 00:20:34.062 --> 00:20:36.964
- And i ran nose.
- 00:20:36.964 --> 00:20:38.232
- If it doesn't have the fear of nuclear capability,
- 00:20:38.232 --> 00:20:42.637
- Then iran becomes a cowering little puppy in the corner.
- 00:20:42.637 --> 00:20:46.774
- So i think he's working it brilliantly.
- 00:20:46.774 --> 00:20:48.843
- Curious to see how it's going to play out.
- 00:20:48.843 --> 00:20:50.578
- Meanwhile, we got how many billions of dollars
- 00:20:50.578 --> 00:20:52.814
- In investment, $1 trillion in investment.
- 00:20:52.814 --> 00:20:55.016
- America's coming first again.
- 00:20:55.016 --> 00:20:57.051
- Israel's in the front lane with america providing
- 00:20:57.051 --> 00:20:59.620
- The intel is needed
- 00:20:59.620 --> 00:21:00.855
- As america's forward operating base in the region.
- 00:21:00.855 --> 00:21:03.624
- I think it's fantastic. you mentioned iran.
- 00:21:03.624 --> 00:21:06.094
- We have a new round of talks tomorrow in rome
- 00:21:06.094 --> 00:21:09.330
- At the end of the day.
- 00:21:09.330 --> 00:21:10.198
- Do you see these talks bearing any fruit,
- 00:21:10.198 --> 00:21:12.533
- Or is military action really inevitable
- 00:21:12.533 --> 00:21:15.703
- When it comes to the regime?
- 00:21:15.703 --> 00:21:16.704
- I think they're going to have to bear.
- 00:21:16.704 --> 00:21:18.439
- I think they're going to have to bear fruit.
- 00:21:18.439 --> 00:21:20.308
- And i'll tell you why.
- 00:21:20.308 --> 00:21:21.976
- Israel's got the keys to the file for every nuclear site.
- 00:21:21.976 --> 00:21:24.812
- Hidden. non hidden.
- 00:21:24.812 --> 00:21:26.214
- And israel can strike iran's nuclear facilities.
- 00:21:26.214 --> 00:21:28.716
- Eric. like that. iran knows it.
- 00:21:28.716 --> 00:21:30.918
- And if iran wants to avoid having any energy capability
- 00:21:30.918 --> 00:21:35.857
- Completely wiped off the map, they're going to have to talk.
- 00:21:35.857 --> 00:21:39.160
- And they can posture and play tough and signal
- 00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:41.396
- In front of europe, which is what i ran
- 00:21:41.396 --> 00:21:43.097
- Is really good at playing tough to the europeans.
- 00:21:43.097 --> 00:21:45.333
- But at the end of the day,
- 00:21:45.333 --> 00:21:46.334
- Trump is the leader of the free world.
- 00:21:46.334 --> 00:21:48.002
- And if you don't get in bed with his,
- 00:21:48.002 --> 00:21:50.004
- With his leadership, you're going to get stuffed into
- 00:21:50.004 --> 00:21:52.440
- Such an uncomfortable corner
- 00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:54.308
- That you're going to have an economic failure
- 00:21:54.308 --> 00:21:56.244
- That you could not comprehend.
- 00:21:56.244 --> 00:21:58.079
- So i think iran's quietly going to have to get in line.
- 00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:00.415
- Well, god willing. incredible break. breakdown.
- 00:22:00.415 --> 00:22:02.650
- Aaron, what a time to be alive, my friend.
- 00:22:02.650 --> 00:22:04.652
- Thank god we have you on the front lines, folks.
- 00:22:04.652 --> 00:22:06.587
- Check him out on. thank god we have the show.
- 00:22:06.587 --> 00:22:09.157
- Ha ha ha. right back at you, my friend. the aaron cohen show.
- 00:22:09.157 --> 00:22:11.926
- We're watching youtube x across social media.
- 00:22:11.926 --> 00:22:14.996
- Aaron, keep it up.
- 00:22:14.996 --> 00:22:16.030
- God bless my friend. we'll see you again soon.
- 00:22:16.030 --> 00:22:17.565
- And coming up after the break, my final thoughts on why
- 00:22:17.565 --> 00:22:20.735
- The battle for the jewish people and for israel matters to you.
- 00:22:20.735 --> 00:22:25.773
- You have a stake in this.
- 00:22:25.773 --> 00:22:27.442
- Find out why. next.
- 00:22:27.442 --> 00:22:33.008
- Find out why. next.
- 00:22:33.008 --> 00:22:36.115
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
- 00:22:37.016 --> 00:22:38.451
- As we wrap up here, we've been talking about
- 00:22:38.451 --> 00:22:39.919
- Why we as christians
- 00:22:39.919 --> 00:22:41.320
- Should stand with israel and the jewish people.
- 00:22:41.320 --> 00:22:43.389
- Well, i think of the book of
- 00:22:43.389 --> 00:22:44.290
- Deuteronomy, chapter seven, verse six,
- 00:22:44.290 --> 00:22:46.392
- For you are a people holy to the lord your god.
- 00:22:46.392 --> 00:22:50.062
- God tells israel,
- 00:22:50.062 --> 00:22:51.464
- The lord your god has chosen you
- 00:22:51.464 --> 00:22:53.232
- Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.
- 00:22:53.232 --> 00:22:55.568
- To be his people, his treasured possession.
- 00:22:55.568 --> 00:22:58.504
- Call me crazy.
- 00:22:58.504 --> 00:22:59.772
- It sounds like israel is kind of a big deal in god's economy,
- 00:22:59.772 --> 00:23:03.509
- And i want to be a part of what god has his hand on.
- 00:23:03.509 --> 00:23:06.912
- Hey, speaking of which, tomorrow
- 00:23:06.912 --> 00:23:08.481
- Great things happening in america.
- 00:23:08.481 --> 00:23:10.082
- An encore presentation of my recent interview
- 00:23:10.082 --> 00:23:12.751
- With eric trump, son of the 47th
- 00:23:12.751 --> 00:23:15.554
- President of the united states.
- 00:23:15.554 --> 00:23:16.822
- That's tomorrow night.
- 00:23:16.822 --> 00:23:18.057
- Until then, god bless you.
- 00:23:18.057 --> 00:23:20.359
- We'll see you soon.
- 00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:20.359
