Stakelbeck Tonight | Erick Stakelbeck: National Security Threats | Stakelbeck Tonight | December 2, 2025

Welcome to stakelbeck
00:00:03.393 --> 00:00:04.394
Tonight i'm erick stakelbeck
00:00:04.394 --> 00:00:05.762
And we have an encouraging update
00:00:05.762 --> 00:00:07.864
About the national guard soldier who was critically wounded
00:00:07.864 --> 00:00:11.067
By an afghan terrorist last week.
00:00:11.067 --> 00:00:13.703
24 year old andrew wolf is reportedly showing
00:00:13.703 --> 00:00:16.773
Signs of progress as he continues to fight
00:00:16.773 --> 00:00:20.076
For his life after being shot in washington, dc on november
00:00:20.076 --> 00:00:24.080
26th by an afghan national shouting allahu akbar!
00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:28.585
Now, we asked yesterday
00:00:28.585 --> 00:00:29.752
To pray for andrew's recovery, so please keep it coming.
00:00:29.752 --> 00:00:33.456
Also, remember to pray
00:00:33.456 --> 00:00:34.691
For the loved ones of andrew's fellow soldier, sarah backstrom,
00:00:34.691 --> 00:00:38.862
Who was killed in that dc terror attack.
00:00:38.862 --> 00:00:41.931
President trump has responded by vowing to end all immigration
00:00:41.931 --> 00:00:45.535
From radical islamic hotbeds like afghanistan, and says
00:00:45.535 --> 00:00:49.205
He will review the status
00:00:49.205 --> 00:00:50.840
Of any afghans currently living in the united states.
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:54.310
Remember, joe biden let in some 100,000
00:00:54.310 --> 00:00:58.114
Afghan refugees in 2021, and it appears properly
00:00:58.114 --> 00:01:02.385
Vetting them wasn't much of a priority for his administration.
00:01:02.385 --> 00:01:06.723
Neither was border security.
00:01:06.723 --> 00:01:09.092
But those days are now
00:01:09.092 --> 00:01:10.393
Gone, and god willing, they are never coming back.
00:01:10.393 --> 00:01:13.396
Here's an update from president trump.
00:01:13.396 --> 00:01:15.632
For six months in a row, zero illegal aliens
00:01:15.632 --> 00:01:18.234
Have been admitted into the united states.
00:01:18.234 --> 00:01:19.869
You believe that? zero. we had millions of.
00:01:19.869 --> 00:01:22.539
People coming in a year. millions.
00:01:22.539 --> 00:01:25.475
Now we have zero.
00:01:25.475 --> 00:01:26.910
Folks, this is an astounding development.
00:01:27.810 --> 00:01:30.480
We had up to 20 million people enter our country illegally
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.317
During the biden years.
00:01:34.317 --> 00:01:35.685
Now we have none.
00:01:35.685 --> 00:01:37.787
And trump's team is tracking down
00:01:37.787 --> 00:01:39.222
The many bad actors who entered america under biden.
00:01:39.222 --> 00:01:42.091
And they are deporting them.
00:01:42.091 --> 00:01:44.060
That, along with trump's vow
00:01:44.060 --> 00:01:46.162
To shut down immigration from places like somalia
00:01:46.162 --> 00:01:49.199
And afghanistan, has sent the left into a tizzy.
00:01:49.199 --> 00:01:53.236
They apparently want to turn america into western europe,
00:01:53.236 --> 00:01:57.040
Where mass muslim immigration
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:58.841
And lax border security are the norms.
00:01:58.841 --> 00:02:01.911
So how's that working out for the europeans?
00:02:01.911 --> 00:02:04.914
Well, over in brussels, muslims waving palestinian flags
00:02:04.914 --> 00:02:08.818
And chanting pro hamas slogans stormed a christmas market
00:02:08.818 --> 00:02:12.655
Over the weekend and they weren't spreading holiday cheer.
00:02:12.655 --> 00:02:16.159
Take a look.
00:02:16.492 --> 00:02:27.370
Coming to a town near you.
00:02:27.937 --> 00:02:30.340
Those islamist in brussels also decapitated
00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:33.643
The head of baby jesus in a nativity scene.
00:02:33.643 --> 00:02:37.213
We saw a similar situation in germany
00:02:37.213 --> 00:02:39.582
Where islamists showed up at a christmas market in essen,
00:02:39.582 --> 00:02:43.419
Waving syrian flags and chanting, there is no god
00:02:43.419 --> 00:02:47.190
But allah, and of course, allahu akbar.
00:02:47.190 --> 00:02:50.827
Just last year, an islamic jihadist drove a car
00:02:50.827 --> 00:02:54.063
Into the crowd at the christmas market in magdeburg,
00:02:54.063 --> 00:02:57.166
Germany, killing six people and wounding over 300 more.
00:02:57.166 --> 00:03:01.404
This year, the magdeburg christmas christmas market
00:03:01.404 --> 00:03:04.540
Has been canceled and christmas markets around
00:03:04.540 --> 00:03:07.277
Germany are ramping up security because of the islamic threat.
00:03:07.277 --> 00:03:11.214
Just look at this footage.
00:03:11.214 --> 00:03:12.982
Is that a christmas market or a fortress?
00:03:12.982 --> 00:03:16.219
This is the new germany.
00:03:16.219 --> 00:03:17.854
Back in 2015, former chancellor angela merkel opened
00:03:17.854 --> 00:03:21.424
Germany's borders to some 1
00:03:21.424 --> 00:03:23.693
Million muslim refugees, many of them from syria.
00:03:23.693 --> 00:03:27.563
And now we have christmas markets resembling war zones.
00:03:27.563 --> 00:03:31.567
Folks, the next time you hear the left
00:03:31.567 --> 00:03:33.002
In america howling over
00:03:33.002 --> 00:03:34.470
President trump's immigration policies,
00:03:34.470 --> 00:03:36.673
Remember that footage from europe
00:03:36.673 --> 00:03:38.875
And know that it's not too late
00:03:38.875 --> 00:03:40.877
For america to avoid the same fate.
00:03:40.877 --> 00:03:44.514
Europe isn't the only place where christians
00:03:44.514 --> 00:03:46.816
Are being targeted by islamic terror.
00:03:46.816 --> 00:03:49.519
Coming up, we get the inside story on
00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:51.387
What has become the world's
00:03:51.387 --> 00:03:52.588
Most notorious hotspot for christian persecution
00:03:52.588 --> 00:03:56.392
And what president trump
00:03:56.392 --> 00:03:57.427
Is doing to hold the perpetrators accountable.
00:03:57.427 --> 00:04:00.630
And it all starts now.
00:04:00.630 --> 00:04:19.482
While much of the world looks away,
00:04:20.283 --> 00:04:22.785
A genocide is unfolding in nigeria right now.
00:04:22.785 --> 00:04:26.589
Mass killings, kidnapings
00:04:26.589 --> 00:04:28.624
And relentless jihadist attacks against christians.
00:04:28.624 --> 00:04:32.362
Few people know this
00:04:32.362 --> 00:04:33.563
Crisis better than brad brandon, founder of across nigeria,
00:04:33.563 --> 00:04:37.200
Whose mission places him directly in the path of danger.
00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:40.770
To protect and support believers under attack.
00:04:40.770 --> 00:04:43.906
Brad is with us now to break it all down
00:04:43.906 --> 00:04:46.109
And to tell us about a powerful gathering in washington, d.c.
00:04:46.109 --> 00:04:49.245
On december 4th
00:04:49.245 --> 00:04:50.613
Called persecuted and prevailing, dedicated to
00:04:50.613 --> 00:04:54.150
Shining a spotlight on these suffering christian communities.
00:04:54.150 --> 00:04:57.320
Brad, always great to see you.
00:04:57.320 --> 00:04:58.721
Hey, since 2009, some 18,000 churches destroyed in nigeria.
00:04:58.721 --> 00:05:06.362
We've got an epidemic there.
00:05:06.362 --> 00:05:07.397
Brad and luke, it's
00:05:07.397 --> 00:05:08.564
The most populous african nation, large reserves of oil.
00:05:08.564 --> 00:05:12.034
Of course, nigeria matters and then some and believers
00:05:12.034 --> 00:05:15.471
There are literally under the gun.
00:05:15.471 --> 00:05:17.373
Tell us more about it.
00:05:17.373 --> 00:05:18.641
For our audience who may not know
00:05:18.641 --> 00:05:19.942
The extent of the situation for christians in nigeria
00:05:19.942 --> 00:05:23.012
Right now.
00:05:23.012 --> 00:05:24.414
Yeah.
00:05:24.414 --> 00:05:25.481
So since 2009, there's been over 50,000 christians
00:05:25.481 --> 00:05:28.718
That have been killed.
00:05:28.718 --> 00:05:30.286
Even the un calculates
00:05:30.286 --> 00:05:31.921
That since 2002, the formation of boko haram,
00:05:31.921 --> 00:05:35.258
350,000 people have died due to the instability
00:05:35.258 --> 00:05:39.529
That boko haram has, has brought into the region.
00:05:39.529 --> 00:05:42.732
So not directly from the violence, but indirectly.
00:05:42.732 --> 00:05:46.102
You have, about 3.5
00:05:46.569 --> 00:05:49.105
Million people in internally displaced persons camps.
00:05:49.105 --> 00:05:52.975
80% of those camps are christians.
00:05:52.975 --> 00:05:55.645
Those are all christians who have been displaced,
00:05:55.645 --> 00:05:58.247
Because boko haram and other islamic
00:05:58.247 --> 00:06:00.950
Extremist group have gone in and, burned their homes,
00:06:00.950 --> 00:06:04.420
Destroyed their villages, they're left with nothing.
00:06:04.420 --> 00:06:07.457
So it is a genocide that's happening in northern nigeria.
00:06:07.457 --> 00:06:10.460
And i'm glad that the media here in the u.s.
00:06:10.460 --> 00:06:13.262
Is starting to wake up to it.
00:06:13.262 --> 00:06:14.564
Yeah, brad, finally,
00:06:14.564 --> 00:06:15.665
Because much of the western world has been yawning,
00:06:15.665 --> 00:06:17.667
I hate to say it when it comes to this genocide
00:06:17.667 --> 00:06:19.802
In nigeria of christians, but president trump recently
00:06:19.802 --> 00:06:22.905
Designated nigeria as a country of particular concern,
00:06:22.905 --> 00:06:27.343
And he's been calling out nigeria on this genocide.
00:06:27.343 --> 00:06:30.546
How does that country
00:06:30.546 --> 00:06:31.681
Of particular concern designation affect nigeria?
00:06:31.681 --> 00:06:34.650
What can the trump administration do?
00:06:34.650 --> 00:06:36.185
Brad, what levers can they push
00:06:36.185 --> 00:06:38.554
To hold this government in nigeria and the jihadists?
00:06:38.554 --> 00:06:40.990
They're accountable.
00:06:40.990 --> 00:06:42.458
Yeah, there's three things that that designation, will allow.
00:06:42.458 --> 00:06:46.662
And it's an official designation by the state department,
00:06:46.662 --> 00:06:49.265
A country of particular concern.
00:06:49.265 --> 00:06:51.000
Number one,
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.134
It allows us to put diplomatic pressure on the government
00:06:52.134 --> 00:06:55.471
And even local governors within the country,
00:06:55.471 --> 00:06:59.041
To stop the killing and the genocide
00:06:59.041 --> 00:07:01.143
And the violence that's happening.
00:07:01.143 --> 00:07:02.578
Something else that it opens the door
00:07:02.578 --> 00:07:04.347
For is, leverage on sanctions.
00:07:04.347 --> 00:07:08.117
So we can
00:07:08.117 --> 00:07:09.252
Leverage the nigerian government with sanctions as well,
00:07:09.252 --> 00:07:12.355
Because they're designated on that list.
00:07:12.355 --> 00:07:14.524
And then lastly, it allows us to be able to withhold aid,
00:07:14.524 --> 00:07:18.628
Key aid that the united states has been given to, nigeria.
00:07:18.628 --> 00:07:23.432
It allows us to withhold that aid.
00:07:23.432 --> 00:07:25.101
So having them on the country of particular
00:07:25.101 --> 00:07:28.404
Concern list allows us to do those three things.
00:07:28.404 --> 00:07:31.474
So it opens the door for us
00:07:31.474 --> 00:07:33.142
To really put pressure on the nigerian government,
00:07:33.142 --> 00:07:36.279
To put a stop to the violence
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:37.914
That's targeted against christians right now.
00:07:37.914 --> 00:07:40.216
Yeah, brad, these are major developments.
00:07:40.216 --> 00:07:41.884
And by the way, how is the nigerian government
00:07:41.884 --> 00:07:44.220
Responding to this now, the pressure
00:07:44.220 --> 00:07:46.489
From the trump administration.
00:07:46.489 --> 00:07:48.124
They're responding in a way that you'd expect them to respond.
00:07:49.325 --> 00:07:53.195
They're they're doing some things,
00:07:53.195 --> 00:07:55.798
But they're still outright denying the fact that there's a
00:07:55.798 --> 00:07:58.668
There's a genocide of christians that are happening.
00:07:58.668 --> 00:08:01.170
Their take on it is, is that there's also muslim
00:08:01.170 --> 00:08:04.407
On muslim violence happening as well,
00:08:04.407 --> 00:08:06.809
That it's not targeted against christians.
00:08:06.809 --> 00:08:09.178
Well,
00:08:09.178 --> 00:08:09.845
Somebody who's worked there
00:08:09.845 --> 00:08:10.813
For many years, if it wasn't so serious,
00:08:10.813 --> 00:08:13.549
I'd find that laughable.
00:08:13.549 --> 00:08:15.084
There is muslim on muslim violence,
00:08:15.084 --> 00:08:17.453
But most of that happens
00:08:17.453 --> 00:08:19.021
Because groups like boko haram and icwa,
00:08:19.021 --> 00:08:22.592
They go after other muslims who are not as extreme
00:08:22.592 --> 00:08:25.962
As they are, those
00:08:25.962 --> 00:08:26.996
Who don't hold their extreme ideological views.
00:08:26.996 --> 00:08:30.066
So they'll go in and kidnap children from a muslim school,
00:08:30.066 --> 00:08:33.469
Or they've even gone into mosques
00:08:33.469 --> 00:08:35.371
And blew themselves up and killed people in there.
00:08:35.371 --> 00:08:38.407
So there is violence against muslims, against muslims,
00:08:38.407 --> 00:08:42.144
But it's mostly because those muslims
00:08:42.144 --> 00:08:44.046
Don't hold the radical beliefs. they do.
00:08:44.046 --> 00:08:46.215
But no doubt it is inordinately targeted against, christians.
00:08:46.215 --> 00:08:50.920
I've stood at scores of mass graves where christians
00:08:50.920 --> 00:08:54.857
Have been buried, 20, 30, 40 christians in one grave.
00:08:54.857 --> 00:08:59.762
I've never stood at a mass grave of of muslims
00:08:59.762 --> 00:09:02.665
In northern nigeria and go back to the idp camps.
00:09:02.665 --> 00:09:05.534
80% of those displaced people in the camps are christian.
00:09:05.534 --> 00:09:10.172
How did they get there?
00:09:10.172 --> 00:09:11.307
They're not muslims and christians.
00:09:11.307 --> 00:09:12.975
They're mostly christians in those areas.
00:09:12.975 --> 00:09:14.944
So it's inordinately targeted against christians, no doubt.
00:09:14.944 --> 00:09:18.514
And the nigerian government is continuing to deny it.
00:09:18.514 --> 00:09:21.851
Yeah. brad, great points all around.
00:09:21.851 --> 00:09:23.552
And look, when you have 50,000 christians
00:09:23.552 --> 00:09:25.821
Slaughtered and 18,000 churches destroyed since 2009 alone,
00:09:25.821 --> 00:09:29.792
I don't think that's a coincidence.
00:09:29.792 --> 00:09:31.460
Last question.
00:09:31.460 --> 00:09:32.294
Big event
00:09:32.294 --> 00:09:33.329
This thursday, december
00:09:33.329 --> 00:09:34.463
4th in washington, dc at the museum of the bible.
00:09:34.463 --> 00:09:37.733
Persecuted and prevailing.
00:09:37.733 --> 00:09:39.802
Brad, you've got a great lineup of speakers.
00:09:39.802 --> 00:09:41.570
Tell us more about it.
00:09:41.570 --> 00:09:43.172
Yeah, we've got,
00:09:43.172 --> 00:09:44.340
A great opportunity to raise awareness
00:09:44.340 --> 00:09:46.642
About what's happening not only in nigeria,
00:09:46.642 --> 00:09:49.245
But with the persecuted church around the world.
00:09:49.245 --> 00:09:51.781
So we have different speakers and panelists,
00:09:51.781 --> 00:09:54.750
From different regions of the world that, are experiencing
00:09:54.750 --> 00:09:58.521
High levels of persecution right now.
00:09:58.521 --> 00:10:00.423
I just happen to be one of the panelists
00:10:00.423 --> 00:10:02.291
In the speakers representing nigeria.
00:10:02.291 --> 00:10:04.960
But if people want to get tickets,
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:06.295
They can go to washington policy institute.
00:10:06.295 --> 00:10:08.731

00:10:08.731 --> 00:10:12.034

00:10:12.034 --> 00:10:13.235
If you're in the dc area, folks you can attend in person,
00:10:13.235 --> 00:10:14.670
But you can also stream it online, right? brad.
00:10:14.670 --> 00:10:17.306
Yeah, they'll have a link on the website.

That'll be able to link to a live stream as well.
00:10:21.577 --> 00:10:23.813
Perfect. it's such an important event.
00:10:23.813 --> 00:10:25.381
Brad, you are doing such important work, my friend.
00:10:25.381 --> 00:10:27.349
Keep it up.
00:10:27.349 --> 00:10:28.350
God bless. brad, we will see you again soon.
00:10:28.350 --> 00:10:30.086
And coming up after the break, our good friend,
00:10:30.086 --> 00:10:31.821
The one and only
00:10:31.821 --> 00:10:33.055
Lieutenant colonel allen west, is here on the latest attempt
00:10:33.055 --> 00:10:36.425
To save judeo christian western civilization.
00:10:36.425 --> 00:10:39.895
That's next. stick around.
00:10:39.895 --> 00:10:45.007
That's next. stick around.
00:10:45.007 --> 00:10:47.378
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
00:10:48.146 --> 00:10:49.848
And afghan national guns down two national guard soldiers
00:10:49.848 --> 00:10:53.651
In broad daylight, just blocks from the white house.
00:10:53.651 --> 00:10:56.721
And americans are demanding answers.
00:10:56.721 --> 00:10:59.491
To help us understand the security failures,
00:10:59.491 --> 00:11:01.459
The implications, and the bigger picture.
00:11:01.459 --> 00:11:03.528
We're joined by our good friend, lieutenant
00:11:03.528 --> 00:11:05.029
Colonel allen west, combat veteran, former u.s.
00:11:05.029 --> 00:11:07.332
Congressman, and a leading voice on constitutional rights
00:11:07.332 --> 00:11:10.468
And national defense.
00:11:10.468 --> 00:11:11.636
He currently serves
00:11:11.636 --> 00:11:12.971
As executive director of the american
00:11:12.971 --> 00:11:14.739
Constitutional rights union
00:11:14.739 --> 00:11:16.307
And chairman of the dallas county gop,
00:11:16.307 --> 00:11:18.409
And he is the host of the steadfast and loyal podcast.
00:11:18.409 --> 00:11:21.746
Allen, always great to see you.
00:11:21.746 --> 00:11:23.548
Hey, we had this incident in dc.
00:11:23.548 --> 00:11:25.483
Of course, a deadly incident.
00:11:25.483 --> 00:11:26.785
Afghan national gunning down two national guard members
00:11:26.785 --> 00:11:29.687
Right here in the fort worth, texas
00:11:29.687 --> 00:11:31.456
Area where i'm sitting right now.
00:11:31.456 --> 00:11:32.891
And you're the chairman of the dallas county gop.
00:11:32.891 --> 00:11:34.726
Of course, allen,
00:11:34.726 --> 00:11:35.927
We learned over the weekend that another afghan national
00:11:35.927 --> 00:11:38.463
Was arrested and charged with making terroristic
00:11:38.463 --> 00:11:41.633
Threats to bomb up a building in the fort worth, texas, area.
00:11:41.633 --> 00:11:45.570
It seems
00:11:45.570 --> 00:11:46.204
We have a very big problem
00:11:46.204 --> 00:11:47.539
On our hands and the biden administration
00:11:47.539 --> 00:11:49.908
Letting in these unknown waves of unvetted afghan nationals
00:11:49.908 --> 00:11:53.778
And various other muslim nationals
00:11:53.778 --> 00:11:56.815
Is posing a big security problem. how do you see it?
00:11:56.815 --> 00:11:59.450
Well, it's a very big security problem.
00:12:00.285 --> 00:12:02.520
It's good to be with you, erick, and merry christmas to you.
00:12:02.520 --> 00:12:05.089
There are some 5000 that were part of this operation.
00:12:05.089 --> 00:12:08.793
Allies welcome that have national security concerns.
00:12:08.793 --> 00:12:12.363
And one of the things we should have done was
00:12:12.363 --> 00:12:14.299
There should have been better vetting of these
00:12:14.299 --> 00:12:16.000
These individuals that did not happen.
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.169
And, you know, i spent two and a half years
00:12:18.169 --> 00:12:19.938
In afghanistan, and i have three
00:12:19.938 --> 00:12:21.406
Of my former interpreter translators
00:12:21.406 --> 00:12:23.675
That, we did properly vet them.
00:12:23.675 --> 00:12:25.610
And they are here in the united states of america,
00:12:25.610 --> 00:12:27.445
Live in great lives with their families.
00:12:27.445 --> 00:12:29.480
But when you just want to throw out the net and don't,
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:32.717
You know, do good background
00:12:32.717 --> 00:12:34.085
Checks on these individuals, this is what you get.
00:12:34.085 --> 00:12:36.020
So i think there has to be a follow up of these individuals.
00:12:36.020 --> 00:12:39.257
I want to applaud the trump administration for saying,
00:12:39.257 --> 00:12:41.626
We got to put a halt on this.
00:12:41.626 --> 00:12:43.061
We got to get a control of what has happened in our country.
00:12:43.061 --> 00:12:45.997
Tens of millions have come to this country
00:12:45.997 --> 00:12:47.866
Illegally unauthorized and to include people
00:12:47.866 --> 00:12:50.368
That i think that the joe biden administration
00:12:50.368 --> 00:12:52.670
Wanted to be here, as well as iranians,
00:12:52.670 --> 00:12:56.040
That they released and serious they were released
00:12:56.040 --> 00:12:58.576
Into the streets.
00:12:58.576 --> 00:12:59.644
Yeah. president trump cleaning up biden's mess.
00:12:59.644 --> 00:13:01.913
And it's a very big mess.
00:13:01.913 --> 00:13:03.081
And as you just laid out at the end of the day,
00:13:03.081 --> 00:13:05.250
It seems that the left, which is howling
00:13:05.250 --> 00:13:07.685
About president trump's immigration policies,
00:13:07.685 --> 00:13:10.054
The shutdown now, and immigration
00:13:10.054 --> 00:13:11.823
From places like afghanistan and somalia, terror hotbeds,
00:13:11.823 --> 00:13:15.393
It seems
00:13:15.660 --> 00:13:16.861
If we continue down the road that the left was taking us,
00:13:16.861 --> 00:13:19.297
We'd end up like western europe.
00:13:19.297 --> 00:13:21.099
And you look at london now, berlin, paris, etc.
00:13:21.099 --> 00:13:24.168
That's the endgame.
00:13:24.168 --> 00:13:25.803
That is the endgame.
00:13:25.803 --> 00:13:26.971
And for whatever reason, sadly sees the deaths there go.
00:13:26.971 --> 00:13:29.841
Who would ever thought that we live
00:13:29.841 --> 00:13:31.309
In the united states of america?
00:13:31.309 --> 00:13:32.577
As we're getting ready
00:13:32.577 --> 00:13:33.711
To come up on our 250th celebration of our independence,
00:13:33.711 --> 00:13:36.481
That law enforcement officers would be getting attacked
00:13:36.481 --> 00:13:39.384
Because they're enforcing law and especially immigration law.
00:13:39.384 --> 00:13:42.453
So this whole undermining
00:13:42.453 --> 00:13:44.188
Of the sovereignty of the united states of america,
00:13:44.188 --> 00:13:46.157
First and foremost, is unconstitutional.
00:13:46.157 --> 00:13:48.259
This is a violation of article four,
00:13:48.259 --> 00:13:49.727
Section four of the constitution.
00:13:49.727 --> 00:13:51.629
But even more so, it was quite disconcerting
00:13:51.629 --> 00:13:53.598
That they would want to see this country fall.
00:13:53.598 --> 00:13:55.767
And, you know, you and i are here in the state of texas,
00:13:55.767 --> 00:13:58.503
And we have a huge problem here in the state of texas as well
00:13:58.503 --> 00:14:01.639
With this infiltration, as you just talked about what happened
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:04.943
Over the weekend with the gentleman
00:14:04.943 --> 00:14:06.611
That wanted to attack fort worth.
00:14:06.611 --> 00:14:08.546
But remember, the largest islamic terrorist funding case.
00:14:08.546 --> 00:14:11.916
That trial happened right here in the state of texas.
00:14:11.916 --> 00:14:14.953
It was the holy land foundation trial.
00:14:14.953 --> 00:14:17.522
And we have yet to really put a stamp on the flow of islamo
00:14:17.522 --> 00:14:21.492
Fascism and jihadism here
00:14:21.492 --> 00:14:23.194
In the state of texas and across the united states of america.
00:14:23.194 --> 00:14:25.730
Yeah.
00:14:25.730 --> 00:14:26.297
Alan, how big of a role
00:14:26.297 --> 00:14:27.332
Does the muslim brotherhood play in all this?
00:14:27.332 --> 00:14:29.000
You mentioned the holy land foundation of course.
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:30.868
That was a muslim brotherhood front.
00:14:30.868 --> 00:14:32.670
We had greg abbott here in texas recently
00:14:32.670 --> 00:14:34.505
Announcing a ban on the brotherhood and care,
00:14:34.505 --> 00:14:36.607
Which is a brotherhood satellite.
00:14:36.607 --> 00:14:38.109
President trump, on the federal level,
00:14:38.109 --> 00:14:40.111
Now targeting the muslim brotherhood as well.
00:14:40.111 --> 00:14:42.080
How important is it to target the brotherhood,
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:44.248
Which i really consider
00:14:44.248 --> 00:14:45.316
The granddaddy of all modern islamic terror groups?
00:14:45.316 --> 00:14:48.686
Yeah, you wrote a great book about that.
00:14:48.686 --> 00:14:50.355
And they are, you know, they started back in 1928, but
00:14:50.355 --> 00:14:53.791
And say he could who was, one of their founders was,
00:14:53.791 --> 00:14:58.029
You know, educated right here in the united states of america.
00:14:58.029 --> 00:15:00.064
Look, we've got to go and once again, read
00:15:00.064 --> 00:15:02.734
That strategic memorandum of the muslim brotherhood
00:15:02.734 --> 00:15:05.036
Here in north america, which was founded in 2004,
00:15:05.036 --> 00:15:08.573
And an fbi raid in northern virginia
00:15:08.573 --> 00:15:10.742
And all of those affiliate
00:15:10.742 --> 00:15:12.043
Organizations, we've got to outlaw them.
00:15:12.043 --> 00:15:14.379
We got to ban them, and we also have to follow the money.
00:15:14.379 --> 00:15:17.048
We cannot allow them to continue
00:15:17.048 --> 00:15:18.349
To build all these islamic centers.
00:15:18.349 --> 00:15:20.418
Or as you see, with epic city,
00:15:20.418 --> 00:15:22.220
Which now
00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:23.121
They're trying to call it the meadow,
00:15:23.121 --> 00:15:24.222
Because this is just another way
00:15:24.222 --> 00:15:25.790
That they tried to hide themselves
00:15:25.790 --> 00:15:27.592
And infiltrate into our communities.
00:15:27.592 --> 00:15:29.727
Yeah. epic city is in plano, texas.
00:15:29.727 --> 00:15:32.030
The plano area again, not not far
00:15:32.030 --> 00:15:33.831
From where you and i are sitting right now
00:15:33.831 --> 00:15:35.266
And about a minute left before the break.
00:15:35.266 --> 00:15:36.567
Then we'll bring you right back
00:15:36.567 --> 00:15:38.069
When we talk about the brotherhood infiltration plan.
00:15:38.069 --> 00:15:40.505
You think of texas, you think of dearborn, michigan.
00:15:40.505 --> 00:15:42.874
Zoran mamdani being sworn in january 1st in new york city.
00:15:42.874 --> 00:15:46.911
How big of a blow is that to judeo-christian civilization
00:15:46.911 --> 00:15:51.082
And to new york city?
00:15:51.082 --> 00:15:51.883
Of course, as a whole is huge.
00:15:51.883 --> 00:15:54.285
I want people to think about it.
00:15:54.285 --> 00:15:55.920
On the 25th anniversary of nine over 11,
00:15:55.920 --> 00:15:58.056
Who will be the mayor of new york city?
00:15:58.056 --> 00:16:00.258
Someone that is an avowed supporter
00:16:00.258 --> 00:16:02.360
To islamic terrorist organizations
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.128
To include his mother and father so that apple did not fall
00:16:04.128 --> 00:16:07.231
Far from the tree.
00:16:07.231 --> 00:16:08.433
So we have got to look at this
00:16:08.433 --> 00:16:10.068
And see, just to say it was in dearborn
00:16:10.068 --> 00:16:12.236
When the mayor
00:16:12.236 --> 00:16:13.471
There told a christian pastor he was not welcome in the city
00:16:13.471 --> 00:16:15.907
Because the pastor was speaking
00:16:15.907 --> 00:16:17.175
At the city council meeting,
00:16:17.175 --> 00:16:18.242
Didn't want to see a street dedicated
00:16:18.242 --> 00:16:20.678
To a hamas sympathizer, a supporters,
00:16:20.678 --> 00:16:22.847
This is happening, america.
00:16:22.847 --> 00:16:24.115
We don't want to go down
00:16:24.115 --> 00:16:25.116
The path of the uk and as you say, of france
00:16:25.116 --> 00:16:26.951
And some of the other western european countries.
00:16:26.951 --> 00:16:28.853
And it's not too late
00:16:28.853 --> 00:16:29.887
Because we have men like the one and only.
00:16:29.887 --> 00:16:31.589
Lieutenant colonel allen was sounding the alarm.
00:16:31.589 --> 00:16:33.291
War with colonel west after the break.
00:16:33.291 --> 00:16:34.959
What's happening in venezuela right now?
00:16:34.959 --> 00:16:37.428
Is the u.s.
00:16:37.428 --> 00:16:38.262
Going to invade regime change there?
00:16:38.262 --> 00:16:40.031
We have a socialist dictator, nicolas maduro.
00:16:40.031 --> 00:16:42.433
An update from the one and only allen west after the break.
00:16:42.433 --> 00:16:45.470
Stick around.
00:16:45.470 --> 00:16:50.011
Stick around.
00:16:50.011 --> 00:16:53.111
Welcome back to stakelbeck
00:16:53.678 --> 00:16:54.846
Tonight we're talking to our good
00:16:54.846 --> 00:16:55.847
Friend, lieutenant colonel allen west.
00:16:55.847 --> 00:16:57.782
You could check him out on the steadfast and loyal podcast.
00:16:57.782 --> 00:17:00.451
Follow him on instagram across social media.
00:17:00.451 --> 00:17:03.387
Allen.
00:17:03.387 --> 00:17:04.655
Right now the uss gerald r ford is near the coast of venezuela.
00:17:04.655 --> 00:17:07.825
Thousands of u.s. troops in position as well.
00:17:07.825 --> 00:17:10.628
What is the next stage here is is this perhaps,
00:17:10.628 --> 00:17:13.731
Do you think a run up to a military operation
00:17:13.731 --> 00:17:16.968
Against the maduro regime in venezuela?
00:17:16.968 --> 00:17:20.204
Well, i think without a doubt, what you see with that
00:17:20.204 --> 00:17:23.040
Level of maritime power,
00:17:23.040 --> 00:17:24.876
And it's going to hurt me to say this,
00:17:24.876 --> 00:17:26.711
But when you want to extend your hegemonic dominance of power,
00:17:26.711 --> 00:17:29.947
That's what you send an aircraft carrying a navy to do.
00:17:29.947 --> 00:17:33.217
What you looking at is without a doubt isolating,
00:17:33.217 --> 00:17:36.487
Nicolas maduro, isolating,
00:17:36.487 --> 00:17:38.856
Venezuela and especially their work
00:17:38.856 --> 00:17:41.826
With the transnational narco criminal terrorists.
00:17:41.826 --> 00:17:44.495
We're talking about non-state non-uniform enemy combatants.
00:17:44.495 --> 00:17:47.865
And i don't think that we're looking
00:17:47.865 --> 00:17:49.167
At a full scale invasion of venezuela.
00:17:49.167 --> 00:17:51.369
But without a doubt,
00:17:51.369 --> 00:17:52.603
I think it's possible that we could be looking
00:17:52.603 --> 00:17:54.639
At attacking some of these,
00:17:54.639 --> 00:17:56.507
Narco terrorist bases and operations centers
00:17:56.507 --> 00:18:00.211
And maybe some of their drug producing facilities.
00:18:00.211 --> 00:18:02.713
Yeah. alan, tell us more about that.
00:18:02.713 --> 00:18:04.148
Those narco producing facilities,
00:18:04.148 --> 00:18:05.883
Obviously, we've targeted those drug boats
00:18:05.883 --> 00:18:07.952
Over the past few months as well.
00:18:07.952 --> 00:18:09.854
Tell us why maduro is a threat to u.s.
00:18:09.854 --> 00:18:11.989
National security.
00:18:11.989 --> 00:18:12.857
I think about under the biden regime,
00:18:12.857 --> 00:18:14.559
Many venezuelans and venezuelan gang members
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:17.161
Flooded into the united states, bringing drugs with them.
00:18:17.161 --> 00:18:20.131
Tell us a little bit more about why he's such a problem.
00:18:20.131 --> 00:18:23.100
Well, i think he's such a problem
00:18:23.100 --> 00:18:24.735
Is because he is creating a sanctuary
00:18:24.735 --> 00:18:27.538
For these narco criminal terrorists,
00:18:27.538 --> 00:18:29.407
And he's giving them a base of operations.
00:18:29.407 --> 00:18:31.609
I mean, you look at trend arugula
00:18:31.609 --> 00:18:33.344
Operating on the streets here in the united states of america.
00:18:33.344 --> 00:18:35.813
That's a venezuelan gang.
00:18:35.813 --> 00:18:37.315
And i think that that's just an extension of his,
00:18:37.315 --> 00:18:40.518
Non-uniform,
00:18:40.851 --> 00:18:42.286
Belligerence and
00:18:42.286 --> 00:18:43.221
Enemy combatants that he has flooded
00:18:43.221 --> 00:18:44.889
Into the united states of america.
00:18:44.889 --> 00:18:46.591
So i think that without a doubt, he is behind a lot of this.
00:18:46.591 --> 00:18:49.160
But i don't know if the venezuelan army, the generals,
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:52.897
Their military leaders want the type of heat
00:18:52.897 --> 00:18:55.233
That they see being brought
00:18:55.233 --> 00:18:56.434
By the united states of america and that type of attention.
00:18:56.434 --> 00:18:58.970
So they'd be more than happy to cut bait
00:18:58.970 --> 00:19:01.539
From a nicolas maduro, cut bait
00:19:01.539 --> 00:19:03.274
From these narco criminal terrorists
00:19:03.274 --> 00:19:05.109
And not allow them to have sanctuary there.
00:19:05.109 --> 00:19:07.111
But also remember that iran, china, russia has
00:19:07.111 --> 00:19:10.581
They have all had great relations with, with iran.
00:19:10.581 --> 00:19:13.584
Once upon a time you could fly,
00:19:13.584 --> 00:19:15.519
Direct flight from caracas, venezuela, to tehran, iran.
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.889
Yeah, no. great point.
00:19:18.889 --> 00:19:20.091
And this is in our hemisphere again,
00:19:20.091 --> 00:19:21.792
That that china, russia, iran coalition aligning with maduro.
00:19:21.792 --> 00:19:25.930
What do you think overall on,
00:19:25.930 --> 00:19:27.898
On what you've seen out of the pentagon so far,
00:19:27.898 --> 00:19:30.401
Almost a year now, the trump administration, pete hegseth
00:19:30.401 --> 00:19:33.271
At the pentagon, things were a mess.
00:19:33.271 --> 00:19:34.905
It was woke
00:19:34.905 --> 00:19:36.007
Gender madness at the pentagon under the biden regime.
00:19:36.007 --> 00:19:39.010
But now things seem to be taking a turn
00:19:39.010 --> 00:19:41.412
For the better, for sure. how do you see it?
00:19:41.412 --> 00:19:43.614
Know?
00:19:43.848 --> 00:19:44.315
Without a doubt.
00:19:44.315 --> 00:19:45.549
We've gotten the military focus back on his core competencies,
00:19:45.549 --> 00:19:48.886
Which is recruiting, which is training,
00:19:48.886 --> 00:19:50.788
Deploying, fighting and winning.
00:19:50.788 --> 00:19:52.723
And i think that's very important.
00:19:52.723 --> 00:19:54.158
And i think that show of force and the refocus
00:19:54.158 --> 00:19:56.327
Of our military away from the cultural marxism
00:19:56.327 --> 00:19:59.263
That we saw, the biden administration
00:19:59.263 --> 00:20:01.299
Sends a message to our foes being to
00:20:01.299 --> 00:20:03.234
Iran, russia, china, north korea,
00:20:03.234 --> 00:20:05.636
And also islamic terrorists, as well as these, narco terror.
00:20:05.636 --> 00:20:09.073
So i think that we're on the right track, but,
00:20:09.073 --> 00:20:11.542
We've got to continue to keep this up,
00:20:11.542 --> 00:20:13.344
And we cannot see the political pendulum
00:20:13.344 --> 00:20:15.179
Swing next november and then the following in 2028.
00:20:15.179 --> 00:20:19.116
Yeah. peace through strength is back under president trump.
00:20:19.116 --> 00:20:21.619
But as you said, those midterms loom only 11 months away alan.
00:20:21.619 --> 00:20:25.356
The china threat also continues to loom.
00:20:25.356 --> 00:20:27.792
We're talking about national security threats here.
00:20:27.792 --> 00:20:29.427
You've warned a bunch about the communist regime in beijing.
00:20:29.427 --> 00:20:33.264
What do you think about
00:20:33.264 --> 00:20:34.231
President trump's posture towards jinping,
00:20:34.231 --> 00:20:37.401
That we've seen over the past 11 months or so?
00:20:37.401 --> 00:20:40.137
Well, you know, i would not be throwing a state dinner.
00:20:40.137 --> 00:20:44.642
The guy who is our number one geopolitical foe
00:20:44.642 --> 00:20:47.078
That basically said, you know, you know,
00:20:47.078 --> 00:20:49.714
The united states of america is our enemy.
00:20:49.714 --> 00:20:52.016
Without a doubt, the ingredients for fentanyl comes from china.
00:20:52.016 --> 00:20:55.186
I don't think i'd be treating him to,
00:20:55.186 --> 00:20:56.921
You know, any nice american meal,
00:20:56.921 --> 00:20:59.056
But i think without a doubt, what we have to do
00:20:59.056 --> 00:21:01.258
Is start putting economic pressure on on china.
00:21:01.258 --> 00:21:04.061
The reason why you have north korean troops
00:21:04.061 --> 00:21:05.996
That are supporting russia in ukraine
00:21:05.996 --> 00:21:07.698
As opposed to china, the reason why russia is able to continue
00:21:07.698 --> 00:21:10.668
To do what they're doing is because of china.
00:21:10.668 --> 00:21:12.703
So china is the one that we have to topple.
00:21:12.703 --> 00:21:14.538
All you have to do is read the belt and road strategy
00:21:14.538 --> 00:21:17.174
That tells you exactly what they want to do,
00:21:17.174 --> 00:21:19.043
And creating themselves to be a true hegemonic, dominant power.
00:21:19.043 --> 00:21:22.646
Yeah, i don't about 30s left.
00:21:22.646 --> 00:21:24.648
I think of president trump with china and with the
00:21:24.648 --> 00:21:26.751
The arab gulf states in particular.
00:21:26.751 --> 00:21:28.886
Is this sort of like foreign policy through commerce,
00:21:28.886 --> 00:21:32.089
Dangling those economic carrots
00:21:32.089 --> 00:21:34.058
To bring these people to the table?
00:21:34.058 --> 00:21:35.593
Well, without a doubt, i think so.
00:21:36.360 --> 00:21:37.928
And especially when you look at the dealings
00:21:37.928 --> 00:21:40.131
With a country like qatar, when after iran, they're the number
00:21:40.131 --> 00:21:43.634
One supporter of islamic terrorism and activities.
00:21:43.634 --> 00:21:46.837
So i think that what president trump is trying to say
00:21:46.837 --> 00:21:49.306
Is that we want to bring you into a world economic,
00:21:49.306 --> 00:21:53.310
You know, consortium,
00:21:53.811 --> 00:21:55.045
But we're not going to do it as long as you continue
00:21:55.045 --> 00:21:57.047
To support the,
00:21:57.047 --> 00:21:58.315
The evil that you support and the enemies that you support.
00:21:58.315 --> 00:22:00.918
I don't know if we can do that with china.
00:22:00.918 --> 00:22:02.720
I think that
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:03.687
What we have to do is strengthen our production
00:22:03.687 --> 00:22:05.623
Manufacturing base in order to, compete against them
00:22:05.623 --> 00:22:09.059
And to push them aside from the, the goals that they have.
00:22:09.059 --> 00:22:12.530
Lieutenant colonel allen west. well said. as always, my friend.
00:22:12.530 --> 00:22:15.032
Great to see you folks.
00:22:15.032 --> 00:22:16.066
Check him out on the steadfast and loyal podcast.
00:22:16.066 --> 00:22:18.302
Allen god bless. merry christmas.
00:22:18.302 --> 00:22:20.137
We'll see you again soon.
00:22:20.137 --> 00:22:21.172
And coming up after the break, my final thoughts on
00:22:21.172 --> 00:22:23.374
Making america safe again and making america sane again.
00:22:23.374 --> 00:22:27.645
That's next. don't move.
00:22:27.645 --> 00:22:32.016
That's next. don't move.
00:22:32.016 --> 00:22:34.330
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
00:22:35.231 --> 00:22:36.833
As we wrap up here,
00:22:36.833 --> 00:22:38.000
I talked before the break about making america sane again.
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:41.103
I think of second timothy chapter one, verse
00:22:41.103 --> 00:22:43.039
Seven, for god has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power
00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:47.343
And of love, and of a sound mind, a sound mind, sanity.
00:22:47.343 --> 00:22:52.682
Securing your borders and securing your nation.
00:22:52.682 --> 00:22:55.518
That is the very definition
00:22:55.518 --> 00:22:57.386
Of having a sound mind and solid, sane policies.
00:22:57.386 --> 00:23:01.591
Let's pray that continues under president trump tomorrow night.
00:23:01.591 --> 00:23:04.594
Speaking of which,
00:23:04.594 --> 00:23:05.761
Our policy towards israel, it's under attack right now
00:23:05.761 --> 00:23:08.764
In many quarters. we've got two top
00:23:08.764 --> 00:23:10.700
Pro-israel advocates with us tomorrow night.
00:23:10.700 --> 00:23:13.002
You won't want to miss that.
00:23:13.002 --> 00:23:14.470
Until then, god bless you.
00:23:14.470 --> 00:23:16.439
We'll see you soon.
00:23:16.439 --> 00:23:16.439
