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: New York in Troubled Waters | Stakelbeck Tonight | June 25, 2026
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:03.393 --> 00:00:05.061
- I'm erick stakelbeck and america's largest city.
- 00:00:05.061 --> 00:00:08.698
- Our financial capital is in deep trouble.
- 00:00:08.698 --> 00:00:12.502
- And what's happening in new york city right now
- 00:00:12.502 --> 00:00:14.904
- Could have major implications for every american.
- 00:00:14.904 --> 00:00:18.641
- What we're seeing is an unholy alliance of islamist
- 00:00:18.641 --> 00:00:22.479
- And socialist rise to political power.
- 00:00:22.479 --> 00:00:25.815
- These anti-american radicals are no longer just fringe
- 00:00:25.815 --> 00:00:29.352
- Rabble rousers and street agitators.
- 00:00:29.352 --> 00:00:32.422
- They're now heading to the halls of congress.
- 00:00:32.422 --> 00:00:35.558
- On tuesday,
- 00:00:35.558 --> 00:00:36.626
- Three of the most extreme candidates for office
- 00:00:36.626 --> 00:00:39.028
- That we've ever seen in the united states
- 00:00:39.028 --> 00:00:41.197
- Won their elections in new york.
- 00:00:41.197 --> 00:00:43.199
- All three were endorsed
- 00:00:43.199 --> 00:00:44.634
- By the smiling face of islamo communism.
- 00:00:44.634 --> 00:00:47.937
- Nyc mayor zoran mamdani in new york's 13th
- 00:00:47.937 --> 00:00:51.908
- Congressional district.
- 00:00:51.908 --> 00:00:52.909
- We have daria avila chevalier.
- 00:00:52.909 --> 00:00:56.146
- Like mamdani,
- 00:00:56.146 --> 00:00:57.247
- She's a member of the democratic socialists of america.
- 00:00:57.247 --> 00:01:00.650
- She's also a convert to islam.
- 00:01:00.650 --> 00:01:03.119
- And folks,
- 00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:04.187
- If we're a nation of laws, i really don't know how
- 00:01:04.187 --> 00:01:06.923
- She'll be permitted into congress.
- 00:01:06.923 --> 00:01:09.025
- I say that because each member of the u.s.
- 00:01:09.025 --> 00:01:11.628
- Congress
- 00:01:11.628 --> 00:01:12.762
- Takes an oath to protect and uphold the constitution.
- 00:01:12.762 --> 00:01:15.598
- Yet chevalier
- 00:01:15.598 --> 00:01:16.933
- Founded an organization called columbia university,
- 00:01:16.933 --> 00:01:20.737
- Apartheid divest, which called for the eradication of america.
- 00:01:20.737 --> 00:01:26.176
- She also tweeted about
- 00:01:26.176 --> 00:01:27.410
- Using the american flag as a napkin, called the united states
- 00:01:27.410 --> 00:01:31.481
- A bleeping disgrace and wants to abolish all police.
- 00:01:31.481 --> 00:01:35.985
- In short, she doesn't seem like someone
- 00:01:35.985 --> 00:01:38.188
- Who's going to protect and uphold the us constitution.
- 00:01:38.188 --> 00:01:41.691
- After all, it's kind of hard to do that
- 00:01:41.691 --> 00:01:43.626
- When you're openly calling for america to be eradicated.
- 00:01:43.626 --> 00:01:47.463
- Now, another big winner in tuesday's elections, claire
- 00:01:47.463 --> 00:01:50.533
- Valdes, prevailed in the democratic primary
- 00:01:50.533 --> 00:01:53.636
- For new york's seventh congressional district.
- 00:01:53.636 --> 00:01:56.506
- She's a radical pro transgender activist and surprise.
- 00:01:56.506 --> 00:02:00.777
- She's all about freeing palestine, which, by the way,
- 00:02:00.777 --> 00:02:04.147
- Doesn't even exist. watch.
- 00:02:04.147 --> 00:02:06.482
- So are we ready to free palestine?
- 00:02:07.217 --> 00:02:11.854
- Are we ready to abolish ice?
- 00:02:12.455 --> 00:02:15.758
- Are we ready to win medicare for all,
- 00:02:16.559 --> 00:02:19.429
- Housing for all, and unions for all?
- 00:02:19.429 --> 00:02:23.299
- Again, both valdés and chevalier
- 00:02:23.933 --> 00:02:26.102
- Are favored to win in the general election
- 00:02:26.102 --> 00:02:28.504
- This november and take seats in the u.s. house.
- 00:02:28.504 --> 00:02:31.341
- We're talking impact on a national level here,
- 00:02:31.341 --> 00:02:34.210
- Not just in new york city.
- 00:02:34.210 --> 00:02:36.112
- Another mamdani endorsed radical leftist brad lander,
- 00:02:36.112 --> 00:02:39.482
- Also won his democrat primary in new york's
- 00:02:39.482 --> 00:02:42.652
- 10th congressional district and is likely headed to
- 00:02:42.652 --> 00:02:45.455
- Congress as well.
- 00:02:45.455 --> 00:02:46.656
- And then there's the danny endorsed abacus, who's
- 00:02:46.656 --> 00:02:50.693
- The democrat nominee for a state senate seat in new york.
- 00:02:50.693 --> 00:02:54.130
- She says 911 was all america's fault.
- 00:02:54.130 --> 00:02:58.134
- Watch the system of capitalism and racism
- 00:02:58.134 --> 00:03:01.804
- And white supremacy, etc.
- 00:03:02.372 --> 00:03:04.674
- Have all and islamophobia have all been used,
- 00:03:04.674 --> 00:03:08.478
- You know, to colonize lands, right, to take resources
- 00:03:08.478 --> 00:03:12.181
- From other people.
- 00:03:12.181 --> 00:03:13.082
- And so this is like a long trajectory.
- 00:03:13.082 --> 00:03:14.984
- And we're just seeing the manifestations
- 00:03:14.984 --> 00:03:16.552
- Of that continuation, right, with nine over 11.
- 00:03:16.552 --> 00:03:19.622
- And so a lot of times when people are asking us
- 00:03:19.622 --> 00:03:22.659
- To respond about, you know, attack, right?
- 00:03:22.659 --> 00:03:25.962
- When if you look back like historically, right,
- 00:03:25.962 --> 00:03:29.098
- You know, a lot of us come from lands
- 00:03:29.098 --> 00:03:30.800
- That were colonized, lands were wars are being waged
- 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.503
- A lot of times because of us policy or,
- 00:03:33.503 --> 00:03:35.538
- Or the policies in europe.
- 00:03:35.538 --> 00:03:37.373
- And so i find that we can connect over that,
- 00:03:37.373 --> 00:03:40.677
- But then also that the idea that we have to apologize for,
- 00:03:40.677 --> 00:03:44.580
- Like a terror attack, that like a couple people did,
- 00:03:44.580 --> 00:03:47.016
- And then there is no apologies
- 00:03:47.016 --> 00:03:48.551
- Or reparations for genocides and for slavery,
- 00:03:48.551 --> 00:03:52.188
- Etc., is something that i kind of find like reprehensible.
- 00:03:52.188 --> 00:03:56.993
- What's
- 00:03:57.193 --> 00:03:58.294
- Really reprehensible is a group of islamic terrorists
- 00:03:58.294 --> 00:04:01.497
- Killing nearly 3000 americans on nine over 11.
- 00:04:01.497 --> 00:04:05.201
- But the kind of madness you just heard, abacha's
- 00:04:05.201 --> 00:04:07.970
- Spout is now becoming the norm
- 00:04:07.970 --> 00:04:10.473
- Among new york city's leading political figures,
- 00:04:10.473 --> 00:04:12.875
- And they have ambitions far beyond the empire state.
- 00:04:12.875 --> 00:04:17.347
- Bridget gabrielle
- 00:04:17.347 --> 00:04:18.481
- Is here to sound the alarm about what we are facing,
- 00:04:18.481 --> 00:04:21.217
- And it all starts now.
- 00:04:21.217 --> 00:04:41.104
- Has fallen.
- 00:04:41.437 --> 00:04:44.340
- A wave of islamic and anti-american socialist
- 00:04:44.340 --> 00:04:47.477
- Are taking power in america's largest city, and they plan to
- 00:04:47.477 --> 00:04:51.748
- Spread their influence nationwide.
- 00:04:51.748 --> 00:04:54.050
- Joining us now to break it down is bridget gabrielle,
- 00:04:54.050 --> 00:04:56.219
- Founder and chairman
- 00:04:56.219 --> 00:04:57.220
- Of a great organization called act for america.
- 00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:00.356
- Bridget, always great to see you.
- 00:05:00.356 --> 00:05:01.791
- Hey, you've been sounding the alarm
- 00:05:01.791 --> 00:05:03.192
- About this for a while now. we see it all coming.
- 00:05:03.192 --> 00:05:05.595
- I don't want to say coming to fruition,
- 00:05:05.595 --> 00:05:07.230
- But becoming a reality, i should say.
- 00:05:07.230 --> 00:05:09.298
- And one of these candidates endorsed by zoran mamdani
- 00:05:09.298 --> 00:05:12.335
- In particular, bridget, i find interesting.
- 00:05:12.335 --> 00:05:14.837
- Daria.
- 00:05:14.837 --> 00:05:15.238
- Lisa chevalier,
- 00:05:15.238 --> 00:05:17.073
- She's a hardcore socialist, but also a convert to islam.
- 00:05:17.073 --> 00:05:21.511
- Here she was sharing a bit
- 00:05:21.511 --> 00:05:23.379
- About that
- 00:05:23.379 --> 00:05:24.614
- And how she plans to advance the cause of islam in congress.
- 00:05:24.614 --> 00:05:28.017
- Watch.
- 00:05:28.017 --> 00:05:29.152
- Seeing how all of my friends who were showing up to
- 00:05:29.152 --> 00:05:31.754
- Organizing her
- 00:05:31.754 --> 00:05:32.555
- Muslim were showing up
- 00:05:32.555 --> 00:05:33.756
- In the space and the grace and and love and passion that they
- 00:05:33.756 --> 00:05:37.860
- They had in these spaces of social justice
- 00:05:37.860 --> 00:05:41.397
- That really pushed me to join the faith and wanting to
- 00:05:41.397 --> 00:05:46.068
- To make sure that we are reflecting that in that i'm
- 00:05:46.068 --> 00:05:49.839
- Reflecting that in every space that i'm in and that,
- 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.875
- You know, in follow, we make it to to congress
- 00:05:52.875 --> 00:05:55.178
- That we're reflecting that in the halls of power as well.
- 00:05:55.178 --> 00:05:59.182
- Bridget, this really seems strategic.
- 00:05:59.982 --> 00:06:01.851
- They know exactly what they're doing.
- 00:06:01.851 --> 00:06:03.352
- They're targeting new york city, our largest city,
- 00:06:03.352 --> 00:06:05.188
- And financial capital, for a reason.
- 00:06:05.188 --> 00:06:07.457
- The islamists and the socialists have an agenda here.
- 00:06:07.457 --> 00:06:11.060
- They are coming together, working together.
- 00:06:11.994 --> 00:06:14.330
- And what we just looked at was an unemployed 32
- 00:06:14.330 --> 00:06:17.733
- Year old who just won the primary.
- 00:06:17.733 --> 00:06:20.903
- This is who they are putting up.
- 00:06:20.903 --> 00:06:22.338
- You know, you think of aoc and we used to laugh,
- 00:06:22.338 --> 00:06:24.740
- Oh, she used to be a bartender.
- 00:06:24.740 --> 00:06:25.975
- And look at her now. so influential a congress.
- 00:06:25.975 --> 00:06:28.377
- That's exactly what they're doing.
- 00:06:28.377 --> 00:06:29.779
- They are getting these young people
- 00:06:29.779 --> 00:06:31.147
- And they are running them.
- 00:06:31.147 --> 00:06:32.315
- And by the way,
- 00:06:32.315 --> 00:06:34.383
- She you know, everybody's focused on new york right now.
- 00:06:34.383 --> 00:06:37.019
- Oh my gosh.
- 00:06:37.019 --> 00:06:38.254
- They had three, four, three eric 35 socialist candidates won
- 00:06:38.254 --> 00:06:43.326
- One of the primaries
- 00:06:43.326 --> 00:06:44.694
- Since the beginning of the year in the last six months, 35.
- 00:06:44.694 --> 00:06:48.197
- And they have 75 running in addition.
- 00:06:48.197 --> 00:06:52.802
- So this is what we are looking at.
- 00:06:52.802 --> 00:06:54.637
- And this is not just contained in new york.
- 00:06:54.637 --> 00:06:58.274
- We're looking at new jersey,
- 00:06:58.274 --> 00:06:59.842
- Arizona, ohio, los angeles, georgia.
- 00:06:59.842 --> 00:07:03.079
- This is happening nationwide.
- 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.114
- You know, sadly on our side, the only wake up when we hear
- 00:07:05.114 --> 00:07:09.585
- The news shoved in our face when we see, oh my gosh,
- 00:07:09.585 --> 00:07:12.855
- On one night, the socialists took over in new york.
- 00:07:12.855 --> 00:07:15.224
- Well, you know what?
- 00:07:15.224 --> 00:07:16.225
- They've been taking over primaries
- 00:07:16.225 --> 00:07:18.361
- All across the nation since the beginning of the year.
- 00:07:18.361 --> 00:07:22.131
- But we have been asleep.
- 00:07:22.131 --> 00:07:23.466
- And this is a wake up call for conservative and republicans
- 00:07:23.466 --> 00:07:27.136
- And freedom loving people to wake up and say, we will not
- 00:07:27.136 --> 00:07:31.173
- Allow america to be transformed under our eyes.
- 00:07:31.173 --> 00:07:35.411
- Time to wake up, time to make sure
- 00:07:35.411 --> 00:07:37.513
- That we are organized before the midterm,
- 00:07:37.513 --> 00:07:39.515
- Because this midterm is going to basically set the direction
- 00:07:39.515 --> 00:07:44.153
- For the country for, for, for generations to come.
- 00:07:44.153 --> 00:07:48.157
- And by the way, the democratic socialist party of america,
- 00:07:48.157 --> 00:07:53.296
- The movement they gained, they are now at 100,000 members.
- 00:07:53.296 --> 00:07:58.401
- So this is not just some fringe, you know, groups just growing.
- 00:07:58.401 --> 00:08:03.639
- They are organized,
- 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:04.874
- They are laser focused, and they are on the march.
- 00:08:04.874 --> 00:08:07.910
- So well said. it's a movement. it's a wave.
- 00:08:07.910 --> 00:08:09.979
- The mayor of seattle, for instance, is a socialist.
- 00:08:09.979 --> 00:08:12.281
- The mayor elect in d.c., also a socialist.
- 00:08:12.281 --> 00:08:14.951
- It's not isolated to new york city.
- 00:08:14.951 --> 00:08:16.586
- Key point there.
- 00:08:16.586 --> 00:08:17.386
- And by the way, all these socialist
- 00:08:17.386 --> 00:08:18.955
- Candidates and winners, very islam friendly.
- 00:08:18.955 --> 00:08:23.459
- Take one of the winners in new york, brad lander,
- 00:08:23.459 --> 00:08:26.696
- On tuesday night.
- 00:08:26.696 --> 00:08:27.563
- Bridget, we actually have a clip of him
- 00:08:27.563 --> 00:08:29.265
- Praying at a radical mosque in queens
- 00:08:29.265 --> 00:08:32.301
- Where one of the imams called for death to the infidel.
- 00:08:32.301 --> 00:08:35.671
- Take a listen.
- 00:08:35.671 --> 00:08:36.973
- Miss milan.
- 00:08:36.973 --> 00:08:38.240
- You, rahman, you raheem,
- 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.110
- Who who who had allah.
- 00:08:41.577 --> 00:08:46.182
- Who? samad. lama lead lamb.
- 00:08:46.182 --> 00:08:49.352
- You ladue lamb.
- 00:08:49.352 --> 00:08:51.754
- Who who who fana had.
- 00:08:51.754 --> 00:08:55.091
- Thank you very much for welcoming me today,
- 00:08:55.992 --> 00:08:59.695
- Bridget.
- 00:08:59.962 --> 00:09:00.863
- I almost want to laugh, but it's far too
- 00:09:00.863 --> 00:09:02.932
- Troubling and disturbing.
- 00:09:02.932 --> 00:09:04.700
- This is a non-muslim leftist reciting islamic prayers
- 00:09:04.700 --> 00:09:08.704
- In a mosque.
- 00:09:08.704 --> 00:09:09.639
- This is madness. and this is the road.
- 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.140
- The left is going down.
- 00:09:11.140 --> 00:09:12.341
- At the end of the day, whether they know it or not,
- 00:09:12.341 --> 00:09:14.310
- Islam will devour them, right?
- 00:09:14.310 --> 00:09:16.545
- That's kind of how history has gone.
- 00:09:16.545 --> 00:09:19.415
- Well, not only will devour them, the remaining prayer that has
- 00:09:19.415 --> 00:09:22.918
- Just opened this is the fatiha, bismillah, rahman, rahim
- 00:09:22.918 --> 00:09:26.355
- And i'm not going to go through it.
- 00:09:27.123 --> 00:09:28.290
- Okay, but the last sentence is about the cursed
- 00:09:28.290 --> 00:09:31.260
- People, the jews.
- 00:09:31.260 --> 00:09:32.395
- So you have dim bats like him who don't understand
- 00:09:32.395 --> 00:09:35.798
- What they're reciting, don't understand their religion.
- 00:09:35.798 --> 00:09:38.401
- And that's exactly what the islamists are counting on.
- 00:09:38.401 --> 00:09:41.937
- They are counting
- 00:09:41.937 --> 00:09:43.339
- On the useful idiots like him to advance their agenda.
- 00:09:43.339 --> 00:09:46.876
- And you've got the
- 00:09:46.876 --> 00:09:48.344
- People like him who's also jewish, by the way.
- 00:09:48.344 --> 00:09:51.113
- You've got people like him
- 00:09:51.681 --> 00:09:53.315
- Who are reaching out to the islamic community
- 00:09:53.315 --> 00:09:55.451
- Because they want the islamic vote.
- 00:09:55.451 --> 00:09:57.620
- They want to show how
- 00:09:57.620 --> 00:09:58.721
- Tolerant they are, how inclusive they are.
- 00:09:58.721 --> 00:10:00.990
- We are on your side.
- 00:10:00.990 --> 00:10:02.692
- You know,
- 00:10:02.692 --> 00:10:03.893
- We have seen this play over again and again in the past.
- 00:10:03.893 --> 00:10:06.228
- People refuse to learn from history.
- 00:10:06.228 --> 00:10:08.330
- And that's exactly why we say those
- 00:10:08.330 --> 00:10:10.599
- Who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
- 00:10:10.599 --> 00:10:13.536
- And so when you look at hitler, you know, a lot of jews
- 00:10:13.536 --> 00:10:16.439
- Elected hitler because they thought,
- 00:10:16.439 --> 00:10:18.908
- You know, he's going to be good,
- 00:10:18.908 --> 00:10:20.943
- That we're all inclusive and we are all fine.
- 00:10:20.943 --> 00:10:22.912
- And look what he did.
- 00:10:22.912 --> 00:10:23.813
- And we are now
- 00:10:23.813 --> 00:10:25.047
- Saying the same movie playing where jewish people in america
- 00:10:25.047 --> 00:10:28.551
- Are supporting the advancement of the islamic movement
- 00:10:28.551 --> 00:10:32.922
- In the united states,
- 00:10:32.922 --> 00:10:34.123
- The same islamic movement who is devoted to to basically,
- 00:10:34.123 --> 00:10:38.360
- If they can eliminate every single living, breathing jew,
- 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:42.031
- They will.
- 00:10:42.031 --> 00:10:43.032
- The islamists have a plan because they want to
- 00:10:43.032 --> 00:10:47.169
- Establish
- 00:10:47.470 --> 00:10:49.105
- Their presence in the united states,
- 00:10:49.105 --> 00:10:50.639
- And they control just like what they did in europe.
- 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:53.075
- They are working together with the leftist
- 00:10:53.075 --> 00:10:54.777
- And sharing the same end goal.
- 00:10:54.777 --> 00:10:56.512
- Destroying judeo-christian western civilization.
- 00:10:56.512 --> 00:10:59.749
- That's the end game.
- 00:10:59.749 --> 00:11:00.983
- Thank god we have organizations like act for america, folks,
- 00:11:00.983 --> 00:11:03.586
- Sound the alarm doing the hard work in congress and beyond.
- 00:11:03.586 --> 00:11:06.589
- More with bridget after the break.
- 00:11:06.589 --> 00:11:08.624
- What about the lone star state?
- 00:11:08.624 --> 00:11:10.793
- As texas goes, so goes america, you could say,
- 00:11:10.793 --> 00:11:14.630
- But texas is going in a very, let's just say,
- 00:11:14.630 --> 00:11:17.233
- Interesting direction when it comes to islam.
- 00:11:17.233 --> 00:11:19.735
- We're on that with bridget gabriel after the break.
- 00:11:19.735 --> 00:11:22.304
- Stick around.
- 00:11:22.304 --> 00:11:25.004
- Stick around.
- 00:11:25.004 --> 00:11:27.845
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:11:28.613 --> 00:11:30.014
- We're talking our good friend bridget gabriel,
- 00:11:30.014 --> 00:11:31.816
- Founder and chairman of act for america. folks, right now,
- 00:11:31.816 --> 00:11:34.552
- Be sure to check them out at act for america.
- 00:11:34.552 --> 00:11:37.155
- Follow bridget on x and across social media.
- 00:11:37.155 --> 00:11:40.391
- Bridget, you've been talking
- 00:11:40.391 --> 00:11:41.626
- About the city of houston lately and really texas writ large.
- 00:11:41.626 --> 00:11:45.263
- What's happening?
- 00:11:45.263 --> 00:11:46.330
- I think there's 250,000 muslims in houston alone.
- 00:11:46.330 --> 00:11:50.268
- We have hundreds of mosques
- 00:11:50.268 --> 00:11:51.536
- Throughout texas, more than most states in the nation.
- 00:11:51.536 --> 00:11:54.772
- And look,
- 00:11:54.772 --> 00:11:55.873
- You said earlier,
- 00:11:55.873 --> 00:11:57.041
- This is not just new york city and isolated case, texas,
- 00:11:57.041 --> 00:11:59.911
- Kind of the reddest of the red
- 00:11:59.911 --> 00:12:01.679
- In terms of its politics, a very conservative state,
- 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.382
- Of course, and yet islam making inroads
- 00:12:04.382 --> 00:12:07.451
- Here again, it seems strategic on their part,
- 00:12:07.451 --> 00:12:11.656
- Strategic.
- 00:12:11.956 --> 00:12:12.824
- And it's also the apathy in texas.
- 00:12:12.824 --> 00:12:16.627
- And, you know, i shouldn't call it empathy.
- 00:12:16.627 --> 00:12:18.996
- I started talking, i started going to texas
- 00:12:18.996 --> 00:12:21.232
- And talking to texans since 2007.
- 00:12:21.232 --> 00:12:24.068
- Eric, i remember
- 00:12:24.068 --> 00:12:25.136
- Speaking in houston, sounding the alarm in 2007.
- 00:12:25.136 --> 00:12:29.874
- And everywhere i spoke in texas, i would go to houston,
- 00:12:29.874 --> 00:12:32.743
- Austin, abilene, dallas, everywhere
- 00:12:32.743 --> 00:12:34.879
- I spoke and people would say, hey,
- 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:36.714
- You know those arabs, you don't care what they do.
- 00:12:36.714 --> 00:12:39.016
- They're really, you know, they just keep to themselves.
- 00:12:39.016 --> 00:12:40.852
- They've got their own show restaurant.
- 00:12:40.852 --> 00:12:42.520
- Oh, and there's this great restaurant in dallas.
- 00:12:42.520 --> 00:12:45.189
- You've got to try it out, bridget.
- 00:12:45.189 --> 00:12:46.891
- And nobody could
- 00:12:46.891 --> 00:12:47.959
- Believe the warning when i was sounding the alarm.
- 00:12:47.959 --> 00:12:50.461
- Because americans just want to live and let live.
- 00:12:50.461 --> 00:12:53.464
- The people in texas. texas is so big.
- 00:12:53.464 --> 00:12:55.466
- People are so patriotic. they thought, you know what?
- 00:12:55.466 --> 00:12:58.069
- We're welcoming country.
- 00:12:58.069 --> 00:12:59.103
- We don't care what these arabs do over there.
- 00:12:59.103 --> 00:13:01.138
- Let them do whatever they want to do.
- 00:13:01.138 --> 00:13:02.740
- And here we are today, those arabs
- 00:13:02.740 --> 00:13:06.711
- That they didn't care about our now a mega force.
- 00:13:06.711 --> 00:13:10.882
- Remember what they wanted to do with epic city in dallas.
- 00:13:10.882 --> 00:13:13.551
- And look what's happening in houston right now.
- 00:13:13.551 --> 00:13:15.820
- I mean, watching these scenes out of houston,
- 00:13:15.820 --> 00:13:18.256
- You would think you're looking at europe somewhere,
- 00:13:18.256 --> 00:13:20.124
- You know,
- 00:13:20.124 --> 00:13:21.225
- Maybe birmingham, you know, and the uk or something
- 00:13:21.225 --> 00:13:23.461
- Where the islamists have taken over.
- 00:13:23.461 --> 00:13:25.263
- But this is actually houston.
- 00:13:25.263 --> 00:13:27.298
- And here's what happens when muslins are 5 to 10%.
- 00:13:27.298 --> 00:13:30.902
- They have electoral impact, but when they are 20 to 25%, then
- 00:13:30.902 --> 00:13:35.439
- They run their own candidates and they get them elected.
- 00:13:35.439 --> 00:13:38.442
- And this is where they are in texas.
- 00:13:38.442 --> 00:13:40.912
- And this is why you are starting to see people in texas
- 00:13:40.912 --> 00:13:43.915
- Waking up and becoming more concerned
- 00:13:43.915 --> 00:13:45.549
- Because they are realizing, you know what?
- 00:13:45.549 --> 00:13:47.985
- You come to america
- 00:13:47.985 --> 00:13:49.520
- To adopt american culture, to be a part of the american fabric.
- 00:13:49.520 --> 00:13:53.124
- What we just saw marching down the street in houston
- 00:13:53.124 --> 00:13:56.460
- Is not the culture of america.
- 00:13:56.460 --> 00:13:58.195
- This is something you would see marching downtown iran.
- 00:13:58.195 --> 00:14:01.232
- This is something you would see marching downtown
- 00:14:01.232 --> 00:14:03.601
- Egypt or saudi arabia.
- 00:14:03.601 --> 00:14:05.803
- Not in the united states.
- 00:14:05.803 --> 00:14:08.072
- This is not american culture.
- 00:14:08.072 --> 00:14:09.840
- We don't wrap people in black from head to toe, you know,
- 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.144
- Constrain the human rights,
- 00:14:13.144 --> 00:14:14.879
- Treat women as second class citizens,
- 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:17.415
- Have different set of laws
- 00:14:17.415 --> 00:14:19.016
- That is not compatible with the us constitution.
- 00:14:19.016 --> 00:14:21.919
- That's not what we want.
- 00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:23.354
- We are not against
- 00:14:23.354 --> 00:14:25.222
- Islam as a religion, but we are against
- 00:14:25.222 --> 00:14:27.358
- People coming into our culture
- 00:14:27.358 --> 00:14:29.193
- And trying to transform our culture into what they love.
- 00:14:29.193 --> 00:14:33.297
- If they liked it so much, why are they here?
- 00:14:33.297 --> 00:14:35.466
- Why are they trying to change our culture?
- 00:14:35.466 --> 00:14:37.601
- Great point.
- 00:14:37.601 --> 00:14:38.302
- And look, bridget,
- 00:14:38.302 --> 00:14:39.537
- You said once they grow in numbers,
- 00:14:39.537 --> 00:14:41.272
- They become a powerful voting bloc.
- 00:14:41.272 --> 00:14:43.441
- We see it in new york now.
- 00:14:43.441 --> 00:14:44.842
- We've seen it in europe to only about a minute left.
- 00:14:44.842 --> 00:14:47.278
- Bridget, the danish
- 00:14:47.278 --> 00:14:48.412
- Government of all places is now calling on a ban of.
- 00:14:48.412 --> 00:14:52.383
- Is the islamic call to prayer in denmark.
- 00:14:52.383 --> 00:14:55.519
- Could europeans finally
- 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:57.021
- Be waking up a little less than a minute left?
- 00:14:57.021 --> 00:14:59.857
- They are finally waking up
- 00:15:00.424 --> 00:15:01.826
- Because they are on the verge of death.
- 00:15:01.826 --> 00:15:03.761
- And right now they are flailing. they are struggling.
- 00:15:03.761 --> 00:15:05.963
- They are screaming. we don't want to die.
- 00:15:05.963 --> 00:15:07.398
- We want to save ourselves.
- 00:15:07.398 --> 00:15:08.899
- They are at midnight and that's why they are waking up.
- 00:15:08.899 --> 00:15:12.403
- Hopefully we in the united states
- 00:15:12.403 --> 00:15:13.938
- Will never get to that point.
- 00:15:13.938 --> 00:15:15.506
- That's exactly why we with my organization
- 00:15:15.506 --> 00:15:18.509

- Christians are paying a steep price for following jesus.
- 00:16:26.944 --> 00:16:30.481
- From communist dictatorship to islamic regimes, believers
- 00:16:30.481 --> 00:16:34.585
- Are being jailed,
- 00:16:34.585 --> 00:16:36.020
- Beaten, driven from their homes and even murdered
- 00:16:36.020 --> 00:16:38.989
- For their faith.
- 00:16:38.989 --> 00:16:40.491
- Yet the remarkable reality is this
- 00:16:40.491 --> 00:16:43.394
- The persecutors are not winning.
- 00:16:43.394 --> 00:16:45.663
- In nation after nation.
- 00:16:45.663 --> 00:16:47.031
- The church is growing stronger,
- 00:16:47.031 --> 00:16:48.532
- The gospel is spreading and lives are being transformed.
- 00:16:48.532 --> 00:16:52.503
- Joining us now
- 00:16:52.503 --> 00:16:53.471
- Is todd nettleton, vice president of message
- 00:16:53.471 --> 00:16:55.272
- For the voice of the martyrs usa, host of the voice of the
- 00:16:55.272 --> 00:16:58.275
- Martyrs radio and author of when faith is forbidden
- 00:16:58.275 --> 00:17:02.012
- 40 days on the front lines with persecuted christians.
- 00:17:02.012 --> 00:17:05.583
- Todd, great to have you with us.
- 00:17:05.583 --> 00:17:06.851
- Hey, june 29th, coming up fast day of the christian martyr.
- 00:17:06.851 --> 00:17:11.822
- And look here in america, todd, we've got it.
- 00:17:11.822 --> 00:17:14.892
- Very good freedom of religion here.
- 00:17:14.892 --> 00:17:16.861
- People worship freely at churches from coast to coast.
- 00:17:16.861 --> 00:17:19.730
- And yet,
- 00:17:19.730 --> 00:17:20.731
- What do americans right now
- 00:17:20.731 --> 00:17:22.533
- Need to remember, especially with the day
- 00:17:22.533 --> 00:17:24.268
- Of the christian martyrs approaching?
- 00:17:24.268 --> 00:17:26.370
- What do american believers, todd, need to remember
- 00:17:26.370 --> 00:17:29.273
- About what's happening over there overseas right now?
- 00:17:29.273 --> 00:17:32.443
- To our brothers and sisters in christ,
- 00:17:32.443 --> 00:17:34.311
- This may be the most intense time of christian persecution
- 00:17:34.311 --> 00:17:37.915
- Since the days of the early church.
- 00:17:37.915 --> 00:17:40.551
- It very well may be.
- 00:17:41.018 --> 00:17:42.186
- And day of the christian martyr is a day when we honor
- 00:17:42.186 --> 00:17:45.523
- Brothers and sisters throughout history
- 00:17:45.523 --> 00:17:47.658
- Who gave their lives to advance the gospel.
- 00:17:47.658 --> 00:17:50.594
- So every year here at voice of mars, we do a focus on a story.
- 00:17:50.594 --> 00:17:54.665
- We do a short video.
- 00:17:54.665 --> 00:17:56.066
- This year we're telling
- 00:17:56.066 --> 00:17:57.168
- The story of perpetua, who was a young wife and mother.
- 00:17:57.168 --> 00:18:00.271
- She was executed in a roman arena in carthage.
- 00:18:00.271 --> 00:18:03.741
- Ancient carthage, 203 a.d., that is modern day tunisia.
- 00:18:03.741 --> 00:18:08.512
- And literally she had a baby.
- 00:18:08.512 --> 00:18:11.115
- Her father
- 00:18:11.115 --> 00:18:12.316
- Actually brought the baby to the prison and said perpetua
- 00:18:12.316 --> 00:18:15.319
- Offered the sacrifices to the roman gods.
- 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:17.621
- Light the candles, do whatever they ask you to do.
- 00:18:17.621 --> 00:18:19.823
- You don't have to mean it.
- 00:18:19.823 --> 00:18:21.358
- Just say what they want you to say
- 00:18:21.358 --> 00:18:22.993
- And come home and raise your baby.
- 00:18:22.993 --> 00:18:24.662
- And perpetua pointed to a vase in the prison and said, father,
- 00:18:24.662 --> 00:18:28.632
- What is that? and he said, it's a vase.
- 00:18:28.632 --> 00:18:30.301
- And she said, can you call it anything else?
- 00:18:30.301 --> 00:18:32.503
- And he said, no, you can't.
- 00:18:32.503 --> 00:18:33.971
- And she said, father, i am a christian.
- 00:18:33.971 --> 00:18:36.073
- I will not call myself.
- 00:18:36.073 --> 00:18:37.942
- You cannot call me anything other than a christian.
- 00:18:37.942 --> 00:18:40.711
- She was subsequently killed in the arena,
- 00:18:40.711 --> 00:18:43.080
- Giving her life for the cause of christ.
- 00:18:43.080 --> 00:18:45.549
- Just one of of hundreds of thousands throughout history
- 00:18:45.549 --> 00:18:49.153
- Who have answered that call to martyrdom.
- 00:18:49.153 --> 00:18:51.822
- We celebrate her legacy on june 29th.
- 00:18:51.822 --> 00:18:54.758
- That is the date, according to church history,
- 00:18:54.758 --> 00:18:57.294
- When the apostle paul
- 00:18:57.294 --> 00:18:58.662
- Was executed outside the city of rome today,
- 00:18:58.662 --> 00:19:01.665
- The day of the christian martyr.
- 00:19:01.665 --> 00:19:03.634
- Amazing, todd and i'm so glad we're drawing attention to this.
- 00:19:03.634 --> 00:19:06.070
- Look, folks, june 29th is a day of prayer for all of us
- 00:19:06.070 --> 00:19:09.173
- Again, for our persecuted brothers and sisters in christ.
- 00:19:09.173 --> 00:19:12.910
- And todd,
- 00:19:12.910 --> 00:19:13.577
- That includes a place that's
- 00:19:13.577 --> 00:19:14.511
- Obviously in the headlines right now iran.
- 00:19:14.511 --> 00:19:17.681
- It may be the world's fastest
- 00:19:17.681 --> 00:19:18.983
- Growing church,
- 00:19:18.983 --> 00:19:20.084
- Of course, largely underground, but the iranian church
- 00:19:20.084 --> 00:19:22.219
- Is growing.
- 00:19:22.219 --> 00:19:23.020
- What's the situation
- 00:19:23.020 --> 00:19:24.121
- Like on the ground right now for iranian believers
- 00:19:24.121 --> 00:19:26.957
- Amid all the chaos?
- 00:19:26.957 --> 00:19:28.959
- Well, you know, everyone in iran is suffering under the war,
- 00:19:28.959 --> 00:19:32.363
- Under the economic chaos that's going on.
- 00:19:32.363 --> 00:19:34.832
- And christians there are seen sort of as extra enemies.
- 00:19:34.832 --> 00:19:39.003
- They are seen as allies of the americans, a christian nation.
- 00:19:39.003 --> 00:19:42.906
- Christians are seen as allies of israel.
- 00:19:42.906 --> 00:19:45.175
- And so they are suspected and watched and not trusted.
- 00:19:45.175 --> 00:19:48.879
- And it is very difficult for everyone.
- 00:19:48.879 --> 00:19:51.682
- But christians are singled out.
- 00:19:51.682 --> 00:19:53.417
- We have heard from our contacts in iran.
- 00:19:53.417 --> 00:19:56.186
- Many christians right now have kind of paused their house
- 00:19:56.186 --> 00:19:59.423
- Church meetings because everything is so dangerous.
- 00:19:59.423 --> 00:20:02.559
- The other thing they're really concerned
- 00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:03.994
- About is, you know, medical care.
- 00:20:03.994 --> 00:20:06.463
- Many hospitals are closed.
- 00:20:06.463 --> 00:20:07.931
- Medicine is hard to get.
- 00:20:07.931 --> 00:20:09.300
- And so it's just very difficult for everyone.
- 00:20:09.300 --> 00:20:12.102
- And we're kind of waiting to see in the coming weeks as,
- 00:20:12.102 --> 00:20:15.239
- As the negotiations go forward.
- 00:20:15.239 --> 00:20:17.174
- Well, what is this going to mean for the economy?
- 00:20:17.174 --> 00:20:19.510
- Because that affects everyone.
- 00:20:19.510 --> 00:20:21.478
- This money
- 00:20:21.478 --> 00:20:22.446
- That may start flowing in, is that going to go
- 00:20:22.446 --> 00:20:24.148
- To the iranian revolutionary guards?
- 00:20:24.148 --> 00:20:26.150
- Is that going to go to the people of iran,
- 00:20:26.150 --> 00:20:28.185
- Which would include our christian brothers and sisters?
- 00:20:28.185 --> 00:20:30.754
- There's obviously a lot of questions
- 00:20:30.754 --> 00:20:32.723
- As we approach these negotiations.
- 00:20:32.723 --> 00:20:34.591
- Yeah. great point, sarah todd.
- 00:20:34.591 --> 00:20:35.693
- Look, islamic jihadists are running rampant in iran,
- 00:20:35.693 --> 00:20:38.762
- Persecuting believers there in africa, places like nigeria.
- 00:20:38.762 --> 00:20:41.865
- But you've drawn attention also, todd, to the communist
- 00:20:41.865 --> 00:20:45.703
- Atheistic dictatorships in places like north korea,
- 00:20:45.703 --> 00:20:49.106
- Communist china that are the very top, really,
- 00:20:49.106 --> 00:20:52.109
- Right alongside the islamists in terms of persecuting
- 00:20:52.109 --> 00:20:54.945
- Followers of jesus.
- 00:20:54.945 --> 00:20:56.413
- What's the situation like on the ground right now
- 00:20:56.413 --> 00:20:58.916
- In a place like china, north korea
- 00:20:58.916 --> 00:21:01.919
- Intensifying any easing of the persecution?
- 00:21:01.919 --> 00:21:06.357
- No easing.
- 00:21:06.657 --> 00:21:07.891
- In fact, just two sundays ago, a gathering of church members
- 00:21:07.891 --> 00:21:11.662
- From early rain covenant church that that name may ring a bell
- 00:21:11.662 --> 00:21:15.666
- To you and to our listeners.
- 00:21:15.666 --> 00:21:17.000
- Their pastor, pastor wang yi, is serving nine years in prison
- 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:20.771
- Right now, but just two sundays ago,
- 00:21:20.771 --> 00:21:23.073
- One of their gatherings was raided.
- 00:21:23.073 --> 00:21:25.109
- Initially, 30 plus people were detained by the police.
- 00:21:25.109 --> 00:21:28.579
- They interrogated them, they photographed them.
- 00:21:28.579 --> 00:21:31.014
- They take down all their id documents and so forth.
- 00:21:31.014 --> 00:21:34.451
- At the end of the day, most were released,
- 00:21:34.451 --> 00:21:36.720
- But the two elders leading the service, they were detained.
- 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:40.491
- 15 days is how long the chinese government can hold
- 00:21:40.491 --> 00:21:43.660
- You without going to a judge without any kind of charges.
- 00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:46.864
- So they are right now on administrative detention.
- 00:21:46.864 --> 00:21:50.334
- We're waiting to hear
- 00:21:50.334 --> 00:21:51.435
- What charges will be filed against them again.
- 00:21:51.435 --> 00:21:54.037
- Their pastor is already serving nine years in prison. so?
- 00:21:54.037 --> 00:21:57.007
- So this is a church
- 00:21:57.007 --> 00:21:58.041
- That knows that sacrifice is part of following
- 00:21:58.041 --> 00:22:01.111
- Christ in china.
- 00:22:01.111 --> 00:22:02.179
- And ultimately the communist party wants control.
- 00:22:02.179 --> 00:22:05.082
- They want to control the hearts and minds of the people.
- 00:22:05.082 --> 00:22:07.785
- If you are first loyal to jesus christ,
- 00:22:07.785 --> 00:22:10.621
- Then that means you're not first loyal to the communist party.
- 00:22:10.621 --> 00:22:13.557
- And they see that as a threat.
- 00:22:13.557 --> 00:22:15.626
- Todd was so glad
- 00:22:15.626 --> 00:22:16.560
- We have your team at voice of the martyrs
- 00:22:16.560 --> 00:22:18.228
- Sounding the alarm on all of this folks.
- 00:22:18.228 --> 00:22:19.797
- Check them out on social media online.
- 00:22:19.797 --> 00:22:21.665
- Voice of the martyrs doing incredible, incredible work.
- 00:22:21.665 --> 00:22:24.468
- And june 29th big day, day of the christian martyr.
- 00:22:24.468 --> 00:22:27.771
- We should be praying for the persecuted church every day.
- 00:22:27.771 --> 00:22:30.707
- But a special focus this year on june 29th.
- 00:22:30.707 --> 00:22:33.177
- Todd great job. god bless my friend.
- 00:22:33.177 --> 00:22:35.546
- Keep it up and up.
- 00:22:35.546 --> 00:22:36.413
- Next, my final thoughts.
- 00:22:36.413 --> 00:22:38.782
- Stick around.
- 00:22:38.782 --> 00:22:40.007
- Stick around.
- 00:22:40.007 --> 00:22:43.221
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight folks as wrap.
- 00:22:44.189 --> 00:22:46.558
- Up here, what an eye
- 00:22:46.558 --> 00:22:47.459
- Opening interview with todd nettleton
- 00:22:47.459 --> 00:22:48.860
- About the state of the persecuted church
- 00:22:48.860 --> 00:22:50.695
- Around the world.
- 00:22:50.695 --> 00:22:51.529
- Our brothers and sisters in christ
- 00:22:51.529 --> 00:22:53.465
- Are being persecuted at levels unseen since the earliest days
- 00:22:53.465 --> 00:22:57.335
- Of the church. we're talking 2000 years ago.
- 00:22:57.335 --> 00:22:59.504
- But take heart.
- 00:22:59.504 --> 00:23:00.738
- I think of matthew 510, blessed are those who are persecuted
- 00:23:00.738 --> 00:23:04.876
- Because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- 00:23:04.876 --> 00:23:08.546
- We need to remember that with communism, islamism,
- 00:23:08.546 --> 00:23:11.583
- Socialism on the rise, believers will be in the crosshairs.
- 00:23:11.583 --> 00:23:15.186
- But take heart.
- 00:23:15.186 --> 00:23:16.187
- God is on the throne and his mighty
- 00:23:16.187 --> 00:23:18.022
- Hedge of protection will be around every follower of jesus
- 00:23:18.022 --> 00:23:22.160
- Until tomorrow night. thanks for joining us.
- 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:24.262
- God bless you. we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:24.262 --> 00:23:24.262
