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.

  • So xi jinping is maga.
  • 00:01:17.233 --> 00:01:20.303
  • Who knew?
  • 00:01:20.603 --> 00:01:21.804
  • Folks, to hear the leader of america's

  • Number one geopolitical rival
  • 00:01:23.606 --> 00:01:25.675
  • Talk like that about our president and our history
  • 00:01:25.675 --> 00:01:28.878
  • Is unprecedented.
  • 00:01:28.878 --> 00:01:30.246
  • It's real simple.
  • 00:01:30.246 --> 00:01:31.714
  • President trump commands
  • 00:01:31.714 --> 00:01:33.383
  • Respect among enemies and allies alike.
  • 00:01:33.383 --> 00:01:36.853
  • He's strong, bold, and a fighter who always puts
  • 00:01:36.853 --> 00:01:40.557
  • America's interests first without apology.
  • 00:01:40.557 --> 00:01:44.260
  • In other words, he leads.
  • 00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:46.563
  • And right now in beijing, he's
  • 00:01:46.563 --> 00:01:48.031
  • Doing exactly what the american people elected him to do.
  • 00:01:48.031 --> 00:01:51.901
  • Securing trade and economic deals
  • 00:01:51.901 --> 00:01:54.204
  • That will make america more prosperous
  • 00:01:54.204 --> 00:01:56.606
  • And getting china's cooperation on iran.
  • 00:01:56.606 --> 00:02:00.276
  • More on that in a moment.
  • 00:02:00.276 --> 00:02:02.145
  • But first, here's president trump returning the favor today
  • 00:02:02.145 --> 00:02:05.381
  • And declaring
  • 00:02:05.381 --> 00:02:06.316
  • What could be a new day
  • 00:02:06.316 --> 00:02:08.017
  • In relations between china and the united states.
  • 00:02:08.017 --> 00:02:11.287
  • Is it glass?
  • 00:02:11.287 --> 00:02:12.355
  • And propose a toast to the rich and enduring ties
  • 00:02:12.355 --> 00:02:15.458
  • Between the american and chinese people?
  • 00:02:15.458 --> 00:02:18.161
  • It's a very special relationship,
  • 00:02:18.161 --> 00:02:20.730
  • And i want to thank you again.
  • 00:02:20.730 --> 00:02:21.931
  • This has been an amazing period of time.
  • 00:02:21.931 --> 00:02:24.000
  • Thank you, president xi.
  • 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.203
  • Thank you.
  • 00:02:27.503 --> 00:02:30.974
  • Now, president trump does not drink.
  • 00:02:31.741 --> 00:02:34.043
  • So for him to raise a glass is a pretty big deal.
  • 00:02:34.043 --> 00:02:37.847
  • But folks don't get it twisted.
  • 00:02:37.847 --> 00:02:39.983
  • Communist china is still very much our adversary,
  • 00:02:39.983 --> 00:02:44.020
  • A brutal regime that stifles dissent.
  • 00:02:44.020 --> 00:02:46.956
  • Persecuted christians,
  • 00:02:46.956 --> 00:02:48.591
  • And is in the midst of a massive military and nuclear buildup.
  • 00:02:48.591 --> 00:02:53.062
  • The gi coms still want to conquer taiwan,
  • 00:02:53.062 --> 00:02:56.232
  • And they're still engaged
  • 00:02:56.232 --> 00:02:57.700
  • In dangerous espionage within the united states.
  • 00:02:57.700 --> 00:03:01.738
  • And yet, once trump stepped back into office last year, china's
  • 00:03:01.738 --> 00:03:06.476
  • Plans for global domination hit a major snag.
  • 00:03:06.476 --> 00:03:10.580
  • First, trump even the playing
  • 00:03:10.580 --> 00:03:12.515
  • Field on trade, hitting china with huge tariffs.
  • 00:03:12.515 --> 00:03:16.386
  • Then he blocked china
  • 00:03:16.386 --> 00:03:17.620
  • From the panama canal and moved against maduro
  • 00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:20.790
  • In venezuela, one of beijing's major energy suppliers.
  • 00:03:20.790 --> 00:03:24.694
  • And now he's smashing iran's regime,
  • 00:03:24.694 --> 00:03:27.897
  • Another crucial source of chinese oil.
  • 00:03:27.897 --> 00:03:31.000
  • And he's shoring up strategic waterways
  • 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.137
  • Like the strait of hormuz and the malacca strait.
  • 00:03:34.137 --> 00:03:37.240
  • The result is that
  • 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:38.574
  • China is suddenly in big trouble economically.
  • 00:03:38.574 --> 00:03:42.245
  • She needs the united states.
  • 00:03:42.245 --> 00:03:44.614
  • No wonder he pledged today
  • 00:03:44.614 --> 00:03:46.049
  • That iran should never have a nuclear weapon.
  • 00:03:46.049 --> 00:03:49.085
  • Who knows, maybe china will even bypass
  • 00:03:49.085 --> 00:03:52.055
  • Iran and start getting oil from the united states.
  • 00:03:52.055 --> 00:03:55.958
  • That would have been unthinkable less than two years ago.
  • 00:03:55.958 --> 00:03:59.429
  • But thanks to trump, it's now on the table.
  • 00:03:59.429 --> 00:04:02.432
  • We're seeing the art of the deal play out in real time.
  • 00:04:02.432 --> 00:04:06.002
  • 17 top american ceos led by elon musk are joining the president
  • 00:04:06.002 --> 00:04:11.941
  • In beijing and in the process, possibly even defuzing tensions
  • 00:04:11.941 --> 00:04:17.013
  • With a bitter rival peace through strength.
  • 00:04:17.013 --> 00:04:20.550
  • It always works.
  • 00:04:20.950 --> 00:04:22.518
  • That includes in fighting terrorism.
  • 00:04:22.518 --> 00:04:25.455
  • Up next, we're joined by doctor
  • 00:04:25.455 --> 00:04:27.056
  • Sebastian gorka, the white house director of counterterrorism
  • 00:04:27.056 --> 00:04:30.793
  • Who breaks down america's new counterterrorism strategy
  • 00:04:30.793 --> 00:04:34.163
  • And the threats here at home that we all need to be watching.
  • 00:04:34.163 --> 00:04:37.834
  • And it all starts now.
  • 00:04:37.834 --> 00:04:56.119
  • The trump administration just rolled out a sweeping
  • 00:04:57.153 --> 00:05:00.123
  • New counterterrorism strategy, taking aim at everything
  • 00:05:00.123 --> 00:05:03.693
  • From drug cartels to radical left wing anarchists
  • 00:05:03.693 --> 00:05:07.330
  • To global jihadist networks that seek the destruction
  • 00:05:07.330 --> 00:05:10.566
  • Of the united states.
  • 00:05:10.566 --> 00:05:12.135
  • I sat down with one of the main architects of the new strategy.
  • 00:05:12.135 --> 00:05:15.238
  • President trump, senior director
  • 00:05:15.238 --> 00:05:16.839
  • For counterterrorism, doctor sebastian gorka, for an inside
  • 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:20.610
  • Look at what this means for america's security.
  • 00:05:20.610 --> 00:05:23.846
  • And for you, take a look.
  • 00:05:23.846 --> 00:05:27.417
  • Director sebastian gorka, always great to see you.
  • 00:05:27.417 --> 00:05:29.886
  • You have been a very busy man,
  • 00:05:29.886 --> 00:05:31.320
  • Helping to put together the new u.s.
  • 00:05:31.320 --> 00:05:32.855
  • Counterterrorism strategy approved,
  • 00:05:32.855 --> 00:05:34.757
  • Of course, by president trump.
  • 00:05:34.757 --> 00:05:36.259
  • And this is a very revealing document, director gorka.
  • 00:05:36.259 --> 00:05:38.995
  • Number one, threats in our hemisphere.
  • 00:05:38.995 --> 00:05:42.331
  • Talk about the targeting now of the drug cartels
  • 00:05:42.331 --> 00:05:45.768
  • That are flowing fentanyl
  • 00:05:45.768 --> 00:05:47.537
  • Into our country and killing americans.
  • 00:05:47.537 --> 00:05:50.540
  • Yes. thank you erick.
  • 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:52.275
  • So i know you recall even before he was back in the white house
  • 00:05:52.275 --> 00:05:56.512
  • Behind the resolute desk
  • 00:05:56.512 --> 00:05:58.381
  • After his second swearing in ceremony on january
  • 00:05:58.381 --> 00:06:01.551
  • The 20th, the president stopped at a stadium here in d.c.
  • 00:06:01.551 --> 00:06:05.555
  • To meet the crowds
  • 00:06:05.555 --> 00:06:07.356
  • Who couldn't be outside because it was so cold.
  • 00:06:07.356 --> 00:06:09.859
  • And we brought up a table for the president.
  • 00:06:09.859 --> 00:06:12.361
  • And there before he got to the white house,
  • 00:06:12.361 --> 00:06:15.465
  • He signed one of his first executive orders,
  • 00:06:15.465 --> 00:06:18.734
  • Which was
  • 00:06:18.734 --> 00:06:19.869
  • Designating the cartels and various international gangs
  • 00:06:19.869 --> 00:06:23.439
  • As often as foreign terrorist organizations. why?
  • 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:27.243
  • Two reasons.
  • 00:06:27.577 --> 00:06:28.678
  • What happens in our hemisphere matters to americans.
  • 00:06:28.678 --> 00:06:31.948
  • So that is the new monroe doctrine.
  • 00:06:31.948 --> 00:06:34.650
  • And secondarily, because of what the biden administration
  • 00:06:34.650 --> 00:06:37.753
  • Wrought on our nation, when i was, on newsmax,
  • 00:06:37.753 --> 00:06:41.290
  • I dedicated a whole show
  • 00:06:41.290 --> 00:06:43.159
  • To the question of the numbers of americans killed
  • 00:06:43.159 --> 00:06:46.229
  • As a result of the cartels.
  • 00:06:46.229 --> 00:06:47.830
  • And i did a comparison
  • 00:06:47.830 --> 00:06:49.232
  • In all wars since the end of world war two.
  • 00:06:49.232 --> 00:06:52.201
  • So that's korea, vietnam.
  • 00:06:52.201 --> 00:06:54.303
  • Panama, grenada, gulf one, gulf two.
  • 00:06:54.303 --> 00:06:57.540
  • And afghanistan.
  • 00:06:57.540 --> 00:06:58.875
  • Over a period of 70 years, 103,000 servicemen
  • 00:06:58.875 --> 00:07:03.045
  • Died in uniform, 103,000 in 7 decades.
  • 00:07:03.045 --> 00:07:07.817
  • The cdc under biden, you can actually find the data
  • 00:07:07.817 --> 00:07:10.753
  • There under one year of the harris
  • 00:07:10.753 --> 00:07:13.856
  • Biden administration's open border policies
  • 00:07:13.856 --> 00:07:16.893
  • That allowed cartels to do whatever they want.
  • 00:07:16.893 --> 00:07:19.295
  • 110,000 americans
  • 00:07:19.295 --> 00:07:22.765
  • Died of drug overdoses, such as from fentanyl.
  • 00:07:22.765 --> 00:07:26.035
  • So the cartels killed more americans in one year under
  • 00:07:26.035 --> 00:07:29.705
  • Biden than all of our enemies killed in 70 years.
  • 00:07:29.705 --> 00:07:33.676
  • That's why the first category
  • 00:07:33.676 --> 00:07:35.678
  • We discuss in the president's new us counterterrorism strategy
  • 00:07:35.678 --> 00:07:39.081
  • Is the cartels unbelievable numbers.
  • 00:07:39.081 --> 00:07:41.617
  • And as you said, this is an imminent
  • 00:07:41.617 --> 00:07:43.352
  • National security threat.
  • 00:07:43.352 --> 00:07:44.787
  • Speaking of which,
  • 00:07:44.787 --> 00:07:45.988
  • We think of that open border
  • 00:07:45.988 --> 00:07:47.223
  • Under joe biden, which is closed, thankfully,
  • 00:07:47.223 --> 00:07:49.492
  • Now more secure than ever under president trump.
  • 00:07:49.492 --> 00:07:51.827
  • But in those biden years,
  • 00:07:51.827 --> 00:07:53.462
  • We had millions upon millions come into the country.
  • 00:07:53.462 --> 00:07:56.732
  • It appears at least some of them are agitators
  • 00:07:56.732 --> 00:07:59.335
  • On the streets, maybe far left radicals, islamist
  • 00:07:59.335 --> 00:08:02.438
  • Radicals talk about those kinds of extremist,
  • 00:08:02.438 --> 00:08:05.575
  • Which are highlighted in the new strategy.
  • 00:08:05.575 --> 00:08:09.145
  • Right.
  • 00:08:09.345 --> 00:08:10.179
  • So we have three major categories.
  • 00:08:10.179 --> 00:08:11.581
  • The first one, we've already discussed the cartels.
  • 00:08:11.581 --> 00:08:13.883
  • The second, the legacy global jihadi groups like al qaeda,
  • 00:08:13.883 --> 00:08:17.720
  • Like isis, of which we have killed unclassified figure
  • 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:21.891
  • More than 820 jihadis since the president was sworn in again.
  • 00:08:21.891 --> 00:08:26.362
  • So excluding operation epic fury, absolute resolve,
  • 00:08:26.362 --> 00:08:30.633
  • All of those incredible operations,
  • 00:08:30.633 --> 00:08:32.802
  • More than 800 jihadis have been killed
  • 00:08:32.802 --> 00:08:35.137
  • By our wolf fighters and our intelligence
  • 00:08:35.137 --> 00:08:37.173
  • Capabilities in the last 15 months.
  • 00:08:37.173 --> 00:08:39.241
  • But the third category, are the people inside america
  • 00:08:39.241 --> 00:08:43.913
  • Who hate our nation
  • 00:08:43.913 --> 00:08:45.815
  • And who are
  • 00:08:45.815 --> 00:08:47.016
  • Taking violent action against the constitutional order.
  • 00:08:47.016 --> 00:08:49.685
  • This is the left wing, the antifa types, the anarchists,
  • 00:08:49.685 --> 00:08:53.823
  • And what we are seeing more and more is the red green alliance.
  • 00:08:53.823 --> 00:08:57.393
  • This, working together, this collaboration
  • 00:08:57.393 --> 00:09:00.730
  • Between the extreme left and also the jihadists,
  • 00:09:00.730 --> 00:09:04.467
  • Whether it's on the streets of manhattan,
  • 00:09:04.467 --> 00:09:06.335
  • On the college campuses of the united states.
  • 00:09:06.335 --> 00:09:08.604
  • But with, mr.
  • 00:09:08.604 --> 00:09:10.072
  • Miller, stephen miller as the homeland security advisor
  • 00:09:10.072 --> 00:09:14.110
  • To the president,
  • 00:09:14.110 --> 00:09:15.344
  • With the new secretary of homeland security,
  • 00:09:15.344 --> 00:09:17.413
  • Senator mullen, with tom homan as the borders.
  • 00:09:17.413 --> 00:09:20.216
  • Let me reassure all of your viewers, erick,
  • 00:09:20.216 --> 00:09:23.586
  • That the best people are on the case.
  • 00:09:23.586 --> 00:09:26.088
  • Hey, you mentioned those legacy
  • 00:09:26.088 --> 00:09:27.623
  • Jihadi groups, al qaeda, isis director.
  • 00:09:27.623 --> 00:09:30.593
  • Has it morphed now to where it's more concern of lone
  • 00:09:30.593 --> 00:09:33.696
  • Wolves acting on behalf of those groups in the united states?
  • 00:09:33.696 --> 00:09:38.601
  • Yeah, it's
  • 00:09:38.901 --> 00:09:39.869
  • Let's be careful here with the terminology.
  • 00:09:39.869 --> 00:09:43.272
  • Lone wolf gives the impression
  • 00:09:43.272 --> 00:09:44.940
  • That they're completely disconnected
  • 00:09:44.940 --> 00:09:46.776
  • From the jihadi movement.
  • 00:09:46.776 --> 00:09:48.511
  • In most cases, what we see, of course,
  • 00:09:48.511 --> 00:09:50.279
  • Is some kind of a connection, at least the bare minimum, the
  • 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.183
  • Ingestion of jihadi propaganda literature and so forth.
  • 00:09:54.183 --> 00:09:58.888
  • Now we've become such a hard
  • 00:09:58.888 --> 00:10:00.690
  • Target, and we've killed so many of them in the last 25 years.
  • 00:10:00.690 --> 00:10:04.293
  • What are they trying to use?
  • 00:10:04.293 --> 00:10:06.128
  • Social media,
  • 00:10:06.128 --> 00:10:08.030
  • Electronic propaganda to incite jihadi violence
  • 00:10:08.030 --> 00:10:12.034
  • In people who are already here, as we saw with the new orleans,
  • 00:10:12.034 --> 00:10:17.073
  • Pickup truck attack during the new year's festivities.
  • 00:10:17.073 --> 00:10:20.409
  • It is a sign of their weakness that they have to rely upon this
  • 00:10:20.409 --> 00:10:24.480
  • Kind of remote control,
  • 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.282
  • Distant incitement through electronic media.
  • 00:10:26.282 --> 00:10:29.085
  • Yeah, and great point on the terminology.
  • 00:10:29.085 --> 00:10:30.720
  • They are more often than not linked to isis or al qaeda
  • 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:34.457
  • In some form or fashion.
  • 00:10:34.457 --> 00:10:35.891
  • Hey, you mentioned operation epic fury a minute ago.
  • 00:10:35.891 --> 00:10:38.027
  • I think of iran, the world's
  • 00:10:38.027 --> 00:10:39.462
  • Number one state sponsor of terrorism,
  • 00:10:39.462 --> 00:10:42.031
  • Suffering heavy, heavy blows over the past
  • 00:10:42.031 --> 00:10:44.567
  • Two and a half months thanks to operation epic fury.
  • 00:10:44.567 --> 00:10:46.969
  • How much does the weakening of iran's regime weaken?
  • 00:10:46.969 --> 00:10:50.973
  • Terror not only in the middle east, but globally?
  • 00:10:50.973 --> 00:10:55.010
  • You know, erick,
  • 00:10:55.411 --> 00:10:56.378
  • I'm not trying to be facetious here, but but,
  • 00:10:56.378 --> 00:10:59.815
  • You know, the goals of epic fury,
  • 00:10:59.815 --> 00:11:02.318
  • Which are of course, no nukes and no missiles and no
  • 00:11:02.318 --> 00:11:05.688
  • Support for terror proxies.
  • 00:11:05.688 --> 00:11:07.623
  • When those three are achieved, it changes everything.
  • 00:11:07.623 --> 00:11:11.026
  • And it could put people like me,
  • 00:11:11.026 --> 00:11:12.828
  • At least at the strategic level in the white house,
  • 00:11:12.828 --> 00:11:15.097
  • Out of a job.
  • 00:11:15.097 --> 00:11:16.132
  • Iran is behind almost every sizable terror threat,
  • 00:11:16.132 --> 00:11:20.836
  • Even beyond the shia actors themselves, like hezbollah.
  • 00:11:20.836 --> 00:11:24.840
  • We know they have supported
  • 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:26.575
  • They funded sunni groups like, hamas as well.
  • 00:11:26.575 --> 00:11:30.446
  • And also they supplied technology.
  • 00:11:30.446 --> 00:11:33.015
  • The fact is,
  • 00:11:33.015 --> 00:11:34.183
  • It remains the number one state sponsor of terrorism.
  • 00:11:34.183 --> 00:11:38.053
  • And that's why we have
  • 00:11:38.053 --> 00:11:39.722
  • Which should have happened decades ago.
  • 00:11:39.722 --> 00:11:41.190
  • I mean, should have happened right after the murder
  • 00:11:41.190 --> 00:11:42.858
  • Of hundreds of our marines in beirut, 43 years ago.
  • 00:11:42.858 --> 00:11:46.295
  • But the fact that the president is finally taking action could.
  • 00:11:46.295 --> 00:11:49.532
  • Change.
  • 00:11:49.532 --> 00:11:50.833
  • The global landscape of terrorism forever.
  • 00:11:50.833 --> 00:11:53.402
  • Yeah.
  • 00:11:53.402 --> 00:11:54.303
  • Iran's regime is the head of the snake
  • 00:11:54.303 --> 00:11:55.938
  • Director, sebastian gorka.
  • 00:11:55.938 --> 00:11:57.106
  • Great.
  • 00:11:57.106 --> 00:11:58.340
  • Break down many threats, but you your team are on top of them
  • 00:11:58.340 --> 00:12:00.810
  • And then some.
  • 00:12:00.810 --> 00:12:01.777
  • Director gorka keep up the great work folks.
  • 00:12:01.777 --> 00:12:03.312
  • Follow him on x across social media.
  • 00:12:03.312 --> 00:12:05.281
  • Director we'll see you again soon.
  • 00:12:05.281 --> 00:12:07.116
  • Great breakdown there from doctor sebastian gorka.
  • 00:12:08.150 --> 00:12:10.452
  • And folks up next we're joined
  • 00:12:10.452 --> 00:12:11.754
  • By investigative journalist lee smith.
  • 00:12:11.754 --> 00:12:13.656
  • He's got a great breakdown on what china is doing on u.s.
  • 00:12:13.656 --> 00:12:17.359
  • Soil. and it's not good.
  • 00:12:17.359 --> 00:12:18.828
  • And that's why president trump
  • 00:12:18.828 --> 00:12:20.296
  • Is calling them out on it on the state.
  • 00:12:20.296 --> 00:12:22.531
  • Visit the inside story from lee smith
  • 00:12:22.531 --> 00:12:24.767
  • After the break from the us capitol.
  • 00:12:24.767 --> 00:12:27.069
  • Don't move.
  • 00:12:27.069 --> 00:12:33.004
  • Don't move.
  • 00:12:33.004 --> 00:12:36.514
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:12:37.281 --> 00:12:39.250
  • President trump is face to face with his jingping in beijing.
  • 00:12:39.250 --> 00:12:43.287
  • But behind the scenes,
  • 00:12:43.287 --> 00:12:44.822
  • A much bigger battle is unfolding over iran energy
  • 00:12:44.822 --> 00:12:48.359
  • And global power.
  • 00:12:48.359 --> 00:12:49.861
  • Joining us now is our good friend
  • 00:12:49.861 --> 00:12:51.095
  • Leigh smith, investigative journalist,
  • 00:12:51.095 --> 00:12:52.897
  • Tablet magazine contributor
  • 00:12:52.897 --> 00:12:54.332
  • And author of the great bestselling book the china
  • 00:12:54.332 --> 00:12:57.235
  • Matrix the epic story of how donald trump
  • 00:12:57.235 --> 00:12:59.604
  • Shattered a deadly pact.
  • 00:12:59.604 --> 00:13:01.472
  • Leigh, always great to see you, my friend.
  • 00:13:01.472 --> 00:13:03.207
  • Hey, some here in dc
  • 00:13:03.207 --> 00:13:04.675
  • Are saying that, look, the iran war is lost.
  • 00:13:04.675 --> 00:13:08.679
  • And yet not only is the regime been shattered severely,
  • 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:13.050
  • But also china has suffered some effects from this.
  • 00:13:13.050 --> 00:13:16.354
  • You've written about this.
  • 00:13:16.354 --> 00:13:17.722
  • Iran's weaknesses here have exposed the chinese
  • 00:13:17.722 --> 00:13:21.259
  • Regime's weaknesses. talk more about that.
  • 00:13:21.259 --> 00:13:23.861
  • Well, erick.
  • 00:13:23.861 --> 00:13:25.196
  • Yeah, you're exactly right.
  • 00:13:25.196 --> 00:13:26.430
  • A lot of people
  • 00:13:26.430 --> 00:13:27.665
  • In washington and elsewhere, both americans, anti-trump media
  • 00:13:27.665 --> 00:13:31.369
  • And of course, different propagandists
  • 00:13:31.369 --> 00:13:33.271
  • Writing out of tehran and beijing are saying, oh, no,
  • 00:13:33.271 --> 00:13:36.407
  • The us is doing very badly,
  • 00:13:36.407 --> 00:13:38.042
  • And trump is worried he needs to get out.
  • 00:13:38.042 --> 00:13:40.077
  • He wants to get out.
  • 00:13:40.077 --> 00:13:41.312
  • Well, the fact is that donald trump
  • 00:13:41.312 --> 00:13:42.980
  • Could have taken any number of mediocre
  • 00:13:42.980 --> 00:13:44.782
  • Deals and said, look what we've done.
  • 00:13:44.782 --> 00:13:46.684
  • We decimated their leadership,
  • 00:13:46.684 --> 00:13:48.085
  • Wiped out their navy and air force.
  • 00:13:48.085 --> 00:13:50.087
  • We've put an enormous dent in the ballistic
  • 00:13:50.087 --> 00:13:52.223
  • Missiles program and their nuclear facilities.
  • 00:13:52.223 --> 00:13:54.692
  • We declare victory and are going home.
  • 00:13:54.692 --> 00:13:57.561
  • Let my successor finish this job or continue the work in hand.
  • 00:13:57.561 --> 00:14:02.033
  • Instead, donald trump is dug in.
  • 00:14:02.033 --> 00:14:04.368
  • He knows that gas is over $4 a gallon.
  • 00:14:04.368 --> 00:14:07.538
  • Donald trump
  • 00:14:07.872 --> 00:14:09.073
  • Knows that there are midterms less than six months away.
  • 00:14:09.073 --> 00:14:12.510
  • And should democrats take the house as is,
  • 00:14:12.510 --> 00:14:15.479
  • Typically expected?
  • 00:14:15.479 --> 00:14:17.114
  • That's going to mean
  • 00:14:17.114 --> 00:14:18.115
  • Endless investigations on a certain impeachment
  • 00:14:18.115 --> 00:14:21.085
  • And likely,
  • 00:14:21.085 --> 00:14:22.153
  • Charges brought by the democrats referred to the doj
  • 00:14:22.153 --> 00:14:25.957
  • And picked up by all sorts of state
  • 00:14:25.957 --> 00:14:29.026
  • And local criminal prosecutors.
  • 00:14:29.026 --> 00:14:32.063
  • So donald trump's freedom is at stake, right?
  • 00:14:32.063 --> 00:14:35.032
  • It's not just how it's hurting the american public.
  • 00:14:35.032 --> 00:14:37.702
  • It is. and he's aware of it.
  • 00:14:37.702 --> 00:14:39.603
  • But donald trump's
  • 00:14:39.603 --> 00:14:40.604
  • Breathing is at stake, and he's dug in on iran.
  • 00:14:40.604 --> 00:14:44.041
  • And that's the person who is meeting with in.
  • 00:14:44.041 --> 00:14:47.812
  • And you can bet that ji jinping is not getting his information
  • 00:14:47.812 --> 00:14:51.382
  • From the new york times or the washington post
  • 00:14:51.382 --> 00:14:53.551
  • To figure out what going on on the ground in the persian gulf.
  • 00:14:53.551 --> 00:14:58.122
  • Yeah, great break down.
  • 00:14:58.622 --> 00:15:00.291
  • What does china do, by the way, with their oil conundrum?
  • 00:15:00.291 --> 00:15:03.761
  • Do they venezuela cut off iran cut off?
  • 00:15:03.761 --> 00:15:06.297
  • Do they? suddenly?
  • 00:15:06.297 --> 00:15:07.498
  • This would have seemed inconceivable not so long ago.
  • 00:15:07.498 --> 00:15:10.401
  • Does china start to import oil from the united states?
  • 00:15:10.401 --> 00:15:13.738
  • Is that possible?
  • 00:15:13.738 --> 00:15:15.639
  • Well, i mean, they have a lot of reserves, so
  • 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:17.641
  • They're not in immediate trouble right now.
  • 00:15:17.641 --> 00:15:19.443
  • But prices are going up. and that's a problem.
  • 00:15:19.443 --> 00:15:21.545
  • As i write in a recent tablet article,
  • 00:15:21.545 --> 00:15:23.381
  • Tablet magazine article, i explain.
  • 00:15:23.381 --> 00:15:26.350
  • The problem isn't just the oil.
  • 00:15:26.350 --> 00:15:27.752
  • It's not just, it's not just moving around.
  • 00:15:27.752 --> 00:15:30.588
  • It's like hedgerow chemicals, including crude oil,
  • 00:15:30.588 --> 00:15:34.992
  • Go into many of the things that the chinese make and export.
  • 00:15:34.992 --> 00:15:39.663
  • So it's a problem for the chinese across the board.
  • 00:15:39.663 --> 00:15:43.434
  • That expensive?
  • 00:15:43.434 --> 00:15:44.435
  • Well, you add you add other things into that.
  • 00:15:44.435 --> 00:15:46.237
  • And one of the, key substitute markets for the united states.
  • 00:15:46.237 --> 00:15:50.941
  • Remember, donald trump's tariffs have been very successful
  • 00:15:50.941 --> 00:15:53.778
  • And have reduced our trade deficit considerably.
  • 00:15:53.778 --> 00:15:56.881
  • So all of the replacement markets, especially in southeast
  • 00:15:56.881 --> 00:15:59.817
  • Asia and europe, these,
  • 00:15:59.817 --> 00:16:02.853
  • These places, their economies have shrunk
  • 00:16:02.853 --> 00:16:04.922
  • Because of the war in iran.
  • 00:16:04.922 --> 00:16:06.357
  • So no, china is not in good shape.
  • 00:16:06.357 --> 00:16:09.093
  • And jinping knows this,
  • 00:16:09.093 --> 00:16:10.494
  • And certainly donald trump knows it too.
  • 00:16:10.494 --> 00:16:12.563
  • So a lot of the talk that's going around here,
  • 00:16:12.563 --> 00:16:14.532
  • What people are saying trade whether it be a trade deal.
  • 00:16:14.532 --> 00:16:18.035
  • What about taiwan?
  • 00:16:18.469 --> 00:16:19.603
  • These are all secondary issues.
  • 00:16:19.603 --> 00:16:21.772
  • The big issue is what's happening
  • 00:16:21.772 --> 00:16:23.474
  • On the ground in the persian gulf.
  • 00:16:23.474 --> 00:16:25.843
  • And people want to talk about iran.
  • 00:16:25.843 --> 00:16:27.578
  • They need to lead that argument with what the united states
  • 00:16:27.578 --> 00:16:30.648
  • Armed forces have done in the persian gulf.
  • 00:16:30.648 --> 00:16:34.085
  • That's how that argument was to go.
  • 00:16:34.085 --> 00:16:35.920
  • Now. you can go in paying for certain.

  • We well said.
  • 00:16:40.925 --> 00:16:41.959
  • Only about 20s left, unfortunately, my friend.
  • 00:16:41.959 --> 00:16:44.161
  • Is it your sense that renewed military action
  • 00:16:44.161 --> 00:16:47.131
  • In iran is inevitable about 20s?
  • 00:16:47.131 --> 00:16:50.835
  • Yes, because i don't think that they're going to willingly
  • 00:16:50.835 --> 00:16:53.037
  • Give up their enriched uranium
  • 00:16:53.037 --> 00:16:54.738
  • Or dismantle their own nuclear facilities.
  • 00:16:54.738 --> 00:16:56.574
  • And donald trump said that's what he's waiting for.
  • 00:16:56.574 --> 00:16:59.009
  • So why did the iranians are going to do it
  • 00:16:59.009 --> 00:17:00.611
  • Willingly, or the united states is going to have to do it?
  • 00:17:00.611 --> 00:17:04.415
  • The well said.
  • 00:17:04.748 --> 00:17:05.983

  • Capitol.
  • 00:17:44.755 --> 00:17:45.956
  • President trump is showing dealmaking muscle on his trip
  • 00:17:45.956 --> 00:17:48.826
  • To beijing.
  • 00:17:48.826 --> 00:17:49.727
  • He just landed a massive 200 jet order
  • 00:17:49.727 --> 00:17:52.730
  • For boeing, something even industry leaders didn't expect.
  • 00:17:52.730 --> 00:17:56.300
  • While at the same time, of course,
  • 00:17:56.300 --> 00:17:58.335
  • Navigating tensions with iran.
  • 00:17:58.335 --> 00:18:00.671
  • Joining us now to break down is congressman max miller of ohio.
  • 00:18:00.671 --> 00:18:03.440
  • Congressman, always great to see you.
  • 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:05.109
  • Hey, you're on the house foreign affairs committee.
  • 00:18:05.109 --> 00:18:06.777
  • Show the perfect man to talk to on china and iran.
  • 00:18:06.777 --> 00:18:09.480
  • Let's talk this historic trip, congressman to china.
  • 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:12.049
  • Yeah.
  • 00:18:12.049 --> 00:18:12.883
  • Peace through strength in real time.
  • 00:18:12.883 --> 00:18:15.186
  • And xi jinping seems like he wants to play ball.
  • 00:18:15.186 --> 00:18:18.489
  • What's your take on this trip so far?
  • 00:18:18.489 --> 00:18:20.457
  • Take his positive takeaways all around the board.
  • 00:18:20.457 --> 00:18:23.360
  • I mean, you just said it
  • 00:18:23.360 --> 00:18:24.361
  • That he got a deal done with boeing,
  • 00:18:24.361 --> 00:18:26.263
  • Which is going to help our relationships.
  • 00:18:26.263 --> 00:18:28.032
  • Not only that,
  • 00:18:28.032 --> 00:18:29.233
  • I want to talk about something for the great state of ohio,
  • 00:18:29.233 --> 00:18:31.368
  • Where i represent and northeast ohio.
  • 00:18:31.368 --> 00:18:33.671
  • He got a deal done for soybeans and not only soybeans,
  • 00:18:33.671 --> 00:18:36.674
  • But lng, because he's cognizant of what we're going through.
  • 00:18:36.674 --> 00:18:39.677
  • It's in our country and actually doing something
  • 00:18:39.677 --> 00:18:41.745
  • To take care of the american people.
  • 00:18:41.745 --> 00:18:43.714
  • What president trump is doing now overseas is america is back.
  • 00:18:43.714 --> 00:18:47.685
  • And if he can work with a dictator like glamping
  • 00:18:47.685 --> 00:18:50.788
  • And get something done,
  • 00:18:50.788 --> 00:18:52.056
  • Got a lot of faith in what's coming next.
  • 00:18:52.056 --> 00:18:53.824
  • So i think it's incredible.
  • 00:18:53.824 --> 00:18:54.758
  • Great point.
  • 00:18:54.758 --> 00:18:55.392
  • And he actually said,
  • 00:18:55.392 --> 00:18:56.660
  • Look, trump is making america great again.
  • 00:18:56.660 --> 00:18:58.495
  • I said who knew she is maga.
  • 00:18:58.495 --> 00:18:59.763
  • Suddenly who knew? but he's perhaps
  • 00:18:59.763 --> 00:19:02.132
  • Congressman flipping china as much as he can.
  • 00:19:02.132 --> 00:19:04.835
  • It's still a dictatorship. but look
  • 00:19:04.835 --> 00:19:06.904
  • She said today that iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
  • 00:19:06.904 --> 00:19:11.041
  • The trump
  • 00:19:11.342 --> 00:19:11.909
  • Effect and using
  • 00:19:11.909 --> 00:19:13.210
  • Leverage and strong leadership seems to be having that effect,
  • 00:19:13.210 --> 00:19:16.680
  • Not only with our allies, but our adversaries.
  • 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:19.183
  • Without question, it's rubbing off.
  • 00:19:19.183 --> 00:19:20.784
  • And i believe that
  • 00:19:20.784 --> 00:19:21.485
  • Jumping is seeing, just like you
  • 00:19:21.485 --> 00:19:23.487
  • Said, the leadership of president trump
  • 00:19:23.487 --> 00:19:25.256
  • And how he's asserting himself on the world stage.
  • 00:19:25.256 --> 00:19:28.325
  • And xi jinping is taking notes from the man who knows
  • 00:19:28.325 --> 00:19:31.862
  • The art of the deal and how to get it done.
  • 00:19:31.862 --> 00:19:33.831
  • And that's exactly what he's doing.
  • 00:19:33.831 --> 00:19:35.266
  • You're getting
  • 00:19:35.266 --> 00:19:36.433
  • Is learning from the best, and that's president donald j.
  • 00:19:36.433 --> 00:19:38.636
  • Trump on how to cut deals
  • 00:19:38.636 --> 00:19:40.304
  • And to win and get things that the american people need.
  • 00:19:40.304 --> 00:19:42.940
  • And that's exactly what he did.
  • 00:19:42.940 --> 00:19:44.408
  • This dude, this trip is benefiting
  • 00:19:44.408 --> 00:19:45.943
  • The american worker first. foremost, i think.
  • 00:19:45.943 --> 00:19:47.878
  • And speaking of iran and the strait of hormuz and oil,
  • 00:19:47.878 --> 00:19:51.915
  • Which you just mentioned, congressman,
  • 00:19:51.915 --> 00:19:53.917
  • The blockade, the highly successful $500 million a day,
  • 00:19:53.917 --> 00:19:57.121
  • The iranian regime is losing nothing going in, coming out.
  • 00:19:57.121 --> 00:19:59.690
  • And yet it's right they're not getting the memo.
  • 00:19:59.690 --> 00:20:02.126
  • Apparently they're contained to shipping in the region, etc..
  • 00:20:02.126 --> 00:20:05.429
  • Do you think military action
  • 00:20:05.429 --> 00:20:07.564
  • May be inevitable against this regime?
  • 00:20:07.564 --> 00:20:09.700
  • I know that the goal is a deal, but they don't seem to want to.
  • 00:20:09.700 --> 00:20:13.103
  • Play ball right now.
  • 00:20:13.103 --> 00:20:14.004
  • So i've been very clear from the beginning
  • 00:20:14.004 --> 00:20:15.706
  • That i support president trump, the administration and war
  • 00:20:15.706 --> 00:20:18.842
  • Going after the irgc and taking out
  • 00:20:18.842 --> 00:20:21.078
  • Their entire regime without question,
  • 00:20:21.078 --> 00:20:23.314
  • Right now, i've always advocated for no boots on the ground.
  • 00:20:23.314 --> 00:20:26.350
  • As a united states marine myself,
  • 00:20:26.350 --> 00:20:28.352
  • You know, the more sons of appalachia
  • 00:20:28.352 --> 00:20:30.120
  • And daughters of appalachia we can save, the better.
  • 00:20:30.120 --> 00:20:32.423
  • That being said, if you break it, you own it.
  • 00:20:32.423 --> 00:20:34.992
  • And this is something that cannot go on for far too long.
  • 00:20:34.992 --> 00:20:38.295
  • And my hope is that president trump
  • 00:20:38.295 --> 00:20:40.431
  • And secretary rubio will take decisive action
  • 00:20:40.431 --> 00:20:43.233
  • In ending this blockade and opening up the hormuz strait
  • 00:20:43.233 --> 00:20:46.470
  • So we can be a more prosperous country.
  • 00:20:46.470 --> 00:20:48.672
  • But i'll just say,
  • 00:20:48.672 --> 00:20:49.540
  • And you know this very well, erick,
  • 00:20:49.540 --> 00:20:50.841
  • And sort of your viewers out there,
  • 00:20:50.841 --> 00:20:52.609
  • That the ideology that these people believe in,
  • 00:20:52.609 --> 00:20:55.479
  • They believe that if they die, they go to a better place.
  • 00:20:55.479 --> 00:20:58.549
  • And you're not dealing with venezuela, right?
  • 00:20:58.549 --> 00:21:00.918
  • Venezuela. they like to cut deals.
  • 00:21:00.918 --> 00:21:02.853
  • They want to negotiate.
  • 00:21:02.853 --> 00:21:04.154
  • And we crushed it there.
  • 00:21:04.154 --> 00:21:05.189
  • We will achieve that goal in iran.
  • 00:21:05.189 --> 00:21:07.358
  • It's just going to take
  • 00:21:07.358 --> 00:21:08.025
  • A little bit longer
  • 00:21:08.025 --> 00:21:08.992
  • Because these people are out in left field
  • 00:21:08.992 --> 00:21:11.328
  • And need to be brought to reality.
  • 00:21:11.328 --> 00:21:12.596
  • Congressman key point, the ideology.
  • 00:21:12.596 --> 00:21:14.465
  • Last question about 30s left.
  • 00:21:14.465 --> 00:21:16.934
  • Weakening the regime.
  • 00:21:16.934 --> 00:21:18.068
  • They've been severely weakened.
  • 00:21:18.068 --> 00:21:19.336
  • It seems that weakens the entire terror network in the region.
  • 00:21:19.336 --> 00:21:22.806
  • Perhaps makes abraham accords treaties more possible
  • 00:21:22.806 --> 00:21:26.210
  • In the near future.
  • 00:21:26.210 --> 00:21:27.111
  • Without question, you saw president trump
  • 00:21:27.111 --> 00:21:28.946
  • Cut a deal with lebanon, right, with a lebanon, armed forces.
  • 00:21:28.946 --> 00:21:32.716
  • The loaf right now, if we continue to support them
  • 00:21:32.716 --> 00:21:36.019
  • And they push out the rest of hezbollah
  • 00:21:36.019 --> 00:21:38.021
  • And we can bring them in the greater region and the saudis
  • 00:21:38.021 --> 00:21:41.091
  • And in the abraham accords, you will,
  • 00:21:41.091 --> 00:21:43.694
  • You know, have a stable region.
  • 00:21:43.694 --> 00:21:45.162
  • I'll never say you can have peace anywhere.
  • 00:21:45.162 --> 00:21:47.531
  • I mean, we all want it.
  • 00:21:47.531 --> 00:21:48.599
  • We wish for it. we have for middle east.
  • 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:50.367
  • Right? we work for it every day. right.
  • 00:21:50.367 --> 00:21:52.436
  • But if we're based in reality, you can bring a much
  • 00:21:52.436 --> 00:21:55.105
  • More stable environment over to the middle east.
  • 00:21:55.105 --> 00:21:57.341
  • And he's doing it every single day,
  • 00:21:57.341 --> 00:21:59.910
  • And he's already doing it by connecting
  • 00:21:59.910 --> 00:22:01.612
  • With lebanon and jordan and all the other countries
  • 00:22:01.612 --> 00:22:04.581
  • That are there supporting not only the united states,
  • 00:22:04.581 --> 00:22:07.451
  • But our greatest ally in the middle east,
  • 00:22:07.451 --> 00:22:09.086
  • The state of israel,
  • 00:22:09.086 --> 00:22:09.987
  • Which we should always continue to support
  • 00:22:09.987 --> 00:22:12.456
  • Because they have the same values we do. yeah.
  • 00:22:12.456 --> 00:22:14.291
  • No doubt. congressman, exciting times.
  • 00:22:14.291 --> 00:22:16.493
  • Thanks for breaking that
  • 00:22:16.493 --> 00:22:17.528
  • From the great state of ohio concert, max.
  • 00:22:17.528 --> 00:22:19.730
  • And coming up,
  • 00:22:19.730 --> 00:22:20.697
  • My final thoughts on the state of play
  • 00:22:20.697 --> 00:22:22.900
  • And how it matters to you.
  • 00:22:22.900 --> 00:22:24.368
  • That's next from the capitol. stick around.
  • 00:22:24.368 --> 00:22:32.006
  • That's next from the capitol. stick around.
  • 00:22:32.006 --> 00:22:35.712
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:37.881
  • We're wrapping up from here at the u.s. capitol, folks.
  • 00:22:37.881 --> 00:22:39.883
  • And we're here in d.c., by the way, for the big freedom
  • 00:22:39.883 --> 00:22:42.119
  • America 250 coverage here on tbn kicks off tomorrow night.
  • 00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:45.556
  • You'll see it all weekend, culminating
  • 00:22:45.556 --> 00:22:47.424
  • On sunday with our coverage of rededicate 250.
  • 00:22:47.424 --> 00:22:51.094
  • The trump administration
  • 00:22:51.094 --> 00:22:52.362
  • Literally rededicating the nation
  • 00:22:52.362 --> 00:22:54.531
  • To the lord's good stuff happening.
  • 00:22:54.531 --> 00:22:56.600
  • By the way,
  • 00:22:56.600 --> 00:22:57.501
  • Not too surprising that trump and jane
  • 00:22:57.501 --> 00:22:59.369
  • Ping are getting along so well in beijing.
  • 00:22:59.369 --> 00:23:00.938
  • I think of romans 1218 if it is possible, as far as it
  • 00:23:00.938 --> 00:23:04.341
  • Depends on you, live that peace with everyone, with every man.
  • 00:23:04.341 --> 00:23:08.111
  • So a new day perhaps in us-china relations.
  • 00:23:08.111 --> 00:23:11.114
  • Exciting times.
  • 00:23:11.114 --> 00:23:12.149
  • We'll see you tomorrow
  • 00:23:12.149 --> 00:23:13.217
  • From dc for the big rededicate america festivities.
  • 00:23:13.217 --> 00:23:16.887
  • It's going to be good.
  • 00:23:16.887 --> 00:23:17.988
  • Until then, god bless you and we'll see you soon.
  • 00:23:17.988 --> 00:23:17.988
