- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight i'm erick stakelbeck.
- 00:00:03.258 --> 00:00:05.761
- And finally there is momentum building
- 00:00:05.761 --> 00:00:08.831
- Against the muslim brotherhood here in america.
- 00:00:08.831 --> 00:00:12.768
- The brotherhood is the granddaddy of them all
- 00:00:12.768 --> 00:00:15.304
- When it comes to modern day islamic terrorism.
- 00:00:15.304 --> 00:00:18.707
- Osama bin laden i am an al-zawahiri.
- 00:00:18.707 --> 00:00:21.610
- Khalid sheikh mohammed,
- 00:00:21.610 --> 00:00:23.412
- Before they formed al and planned the 9/11 attacks.
- 00:00:23.412 --> 00:00:27.082
- They belonged to the muslim brotherhood.
- 00:00:27.082 --> 00:00:30.018
- It's where the former leader of isis,
- 00:00:30.018 --> 00:00:32.154
- Abu omar al baghdadi, also got his start.
- 00:00:32.154 --> 00:00:35.791
- The muslim brotherhood serves as an incubator for terror,
- 00:00:35.791 --> 00:00:39.228
- A gateway to violent jihad.
- 00:00:39.228 --> 00:00:42.030
- It's no surprise that hamas describes itself
- 00:00:42.030 --> 00:00:45.067
- As the palestinian branch of, you guessed it,
- 00:00:45.067 --> 00:00:48.237
- The muslim brotherhood.
- 00:00:48.237 --> 00:00:49.771
- It's an evil movement that seeks to transform nations
- 00:00:49.771 --> 00:00:53.509
- Into islamic states, governed by sharia law.
- 00:00:53.509 --> 00:00:57.479
- For one and all.
- 00:00:57.479 --> 00:00:58.780
- They've made huge inroads
- 00:00:58.780 --> 00:01:00.082
- In europe through mass immigration and mosque building.
- 00:01:00.082 --> 00:01:03.418
- And they're trying
- 00:01:03.418 --> 00:01:04.553
- To duplicate that model right here in the united states.
- 00:01:04.553 --> 00:01:08.457
- When i wrote a book about the brotherhood
- 00:01:08.457 --> 00:01:10.225
- Back in 2013, calling them america's next great enemy,
- 00:01:10.225 --> 00:01:14.930
- I wasn't kidding.
- 00:01:14.930 --> 00:01:16.165
- They are a stealthy organization
- 00:01:16.165 --> 00:01:18.367
- That operates in the shadows, often through front groups
- 00:01:18.367 --> 00:01:22.337
- As they slowly transform a community.
- 00:01:22.337 --> 00:01:25.741
- Look, no further than texas, where an estimated 48 new
- 00:01:25.741 --> 00:01:30.145
- Mosques have opened in the past 24 months alone.
- 00:01:30.145 --> 00:01:34.583
- That's astounding.
- 00:01:34.583 --> 00:01:36.018
- And it's gotten the attention of texas governor greg abbott.
- 00:01:36.018 --> 00:01:39.488
- On tuesday, he announced that the state of texas was declaring
- 00:01:39.488 --> 00:01:43.158
- The muslim brotherhood a foreign terrorist organization
- 00:01:43.158 --> 00:01:46.562
- As well as a transnational criminal organization.
- 00:01:46.562 --> 00:01:50.732
- Abbott gave the same designations
- 00:01:50.732 --> 00:01:52.434
- To one of the brotherhood's
- 00:01:52.434 --> 00:01:53.502
- Associated front groups, known as the council
- 00:01:53.502 --> 00:01:57.072
- On american-islamic relations or care.
- 00:01:57.072 --> 00:02:00.209
- His proclamation bans the brotherhood and care
- 00:02:00.209 --> 00:02:03.345
- From buying or acquiring land in texas,
- 00:02:03.345 --> 00:02:06.381
- And authorizes the texas attorney general to sue
- 00:02:06.381 --> 00:02:10.252
- To shut them down completely in the lone star state.
- 00:02:10.252 --> 00:02:13.922
- Amen.
- 00:02:14.156 --> 00:02:15.090
- Now we need a nationwide ban on these groups
- 00:02:15.090 --> 00:02:18.360
- At the federal level.
- 00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.095
- Thankfully, senator ted cruz is working very hard
- 00:02:20.095 --> 00:02:23.665
- To accomplish exactly that.
- 00:02:23.665 --> 00:02:25.901
- And we're seeing movement
- 00:02:25.901 --> 00:02:27.169
- On capitol hill towards a muslim brotherhood ban.
- 00:02:27.169 --> 00:02:31.206
- It's about time.
- 00:02:31.206 --> 00:02:32.741
- The group has already been outlawed in austria, egypt,
- 00:02:32.741 --> 00:02:36.378
- Russia, syria, the uae, jordan and saudi arabia.
- 00:02:36.378 --> 00:02:40.916
- When even islamic nations
- 00:02:40.916 --> 00:02:42.517
- Are banning the brotherhood, you know that they are poison.
- 00:02:42.517 --> 00:02:46.755
- Speaking of saudi arabia, crown prince mohammed bin salman,
- 00:02:46.755 --> 00:02:50.392
- Also known as mbs, was at the white house yesterday
- 00:02:50.392 --> 00:02:53.929
- Where he held a very important meeting with president trump.
- 00:02:53.929 --> 00:02:57.599
- Three big takeaways.
- 00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.234
- Saudi arabia will invest $1 trillion in the united states.
- 00:02:59.234 --> 00:03:03.972
- The u.s.
- 00:03:03.972 --> 00:03:05.007
- Will supply the saudis with advanced f-35 fighter
- 00:03:05.007 --> 00:03:08.610
- Jets and mbs is very eager
- 00:03:08.610 --> 00:03:11.680
- To join the abraham accords and make peace with israel.
- 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:15.517
- But with one very big caveat.
- 00:03:15.517 --> 00:03:18.887
- Watch.
- 00:03:19.087 --> 00:03:20.022
- We believe having having good relations
- 00:03:20.022 --> 00:03:21.223
- With all of these some countries is a good thing.
- 00:03:21.223 --> 00:03:23.325
- And we want to be part of the body,
- 00:03:23.325 --> 00:03:26.695
- But we want also to be sure that we secure a clear
- 00:03:26.695 --> 00:03:29.831
- Path of a two state solution.
- 00:03:29.831 --> 00:03:32.901
- Today we have a healthy discussion with mr..
- 00:03:32.901 --> 00:03:34.670
- Mr. president that we're going to work on that
- 00:03:34.670 --> 00:03:36.905
- To be sure that we have prepared the right situation
- 00:03:36.905 --> 00:03:39.074
- As soon as possible to have that.
- 00:03:39.074 --> 00:03:40.709
- And i think we're
- 00:03:40.709 --> 00:03:41.810
- You know,
- 00:03:41.810 --> 00:03:42.778
- I don't want to use the word commitment, but
- 00:03:42.778 --> 00:03:44.446
- And we've had a very good talk of the abraham accords.
- 00:03:44.446 --> 00:03:47.049
- We talked about one state to state.
- 00:03:47.049 --> 00:03:48.884
- You know, we talked about a lot of things
- 00:03:48.884 --> 00:03:50.652
- In a short period of time.
- 00:03:50.652 --> 00:03:51.720
- We'll be discussing it further. do.
- 00:03:51.720 --> 00:03:54.022
- But i think you have a very good
- 00:03:54.022 --> 00:03:55.457
- Feeling toward the abraham accords.
- 00:03:55.457 --> 00:03:57.092
- Just, mr.
- 00:03:57.092 --> 00:03:58.193
- President, we want peaceful israelis going peaceful
- 00:03:58.193 --> 00:04:00.595
- As we want them to coexist peacefully in the region.
- 00:04:00.595 --> 00:04:03.398
- And we will do our best to work to reach a deal.
- 00:04:03.398 --> 00:04:06.735
- Folks, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu
- 00:04:07.736 --> 00:04:10.238
- Has made very clear that a palestinian state
- 00:04:10.238 --> 00:04:12.741
- Is a nonstarter, as it should be,
- 00:04:12.741 --> 00:04:16.044
- Because it would essentially reward the palestinians
- 00:04:16.044 --> 00:04:19.214
- For carrying out the october 7th massacre.
- 00:04:19.214 --> 00:04:22.217
- You slaughtered
- 00:04:22.217 --> 00:04:23.285
- 1200 innocent people and sparked a regional war.
- 00:04:23.285 --> 00:04:27.122
- Congratulations.
- 00:04:27.122 --> 00:04:28.590
- Have a state and take a chunk of judea
- 00:04:28.590 --> 00:04:31.259
- And samaria and jerusalem while you're at it.
- 00:04:31.259 --> 00:04:34.329
- Israel, understandably, is saying no thanks.
- 00:04:34.329 --> 00:04:37.766
- Yet i do believe that the saudis
- 00:04:37.766 --> 00:04:39.368
- Will eventually join the accords,
- 00:04:39.368 --> 00:04:41.236
- And that president trump will find a way to get it done.
- 00:04:41.236 --> 00:04:45.440
- So what does that mean for israel, america and the world?
- 00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:50.278
- We break it down with one of the world's
- 00:04:50.278 --> 00:04:51.947
- Top counterterrorism experts.
- 00:04:51.947 --> 00:04:53.982
- Israeli special forces veteran aaron cohen.
- 00:04:53.982 --> 00:04:56.852
- Next.
- 00:04:56.852 --> 00:05:13.869
- As texas governor greg abbott starts
- 00:05:14.669 --> 00:05:16.872
- What's hopefully a nationwide trend by moving to crack down
- 00:05:16.872 --> 00:05:20.242
- On islamic extremist inside the lone star state.
- 00:05:20.242 --> 00:05:23.678
- And as president trump reshapes alliances across the middle
- 00:05:23.678 --> 00:05:26.915
- East, the stakes for america's security have never been higher.
- 00:05:26.915 --> 00:05:31.753
- Few people can break down the threats,
- 00:05:31.753 --> 00:05:33.955
- Both foreign and domestic, better than aaron cohen.
- 00:05:33.955 --> 00:05:37.292
- He's israeli special operations veteran,
- 00:05:37.292 --> 00:05:39.428
- A globally recognized expert on counterterrorism
- 00:05:39.428 --> 00:05:42.464
- And intelligence, and host of the aaron cohen show.
- 00:05:42.464 --> 00:05:45.634
- He joins us now.
- 00:05:45.634 --> 00:05:46.568
- Aaron, always great to see you, my friend.
- 00:05:46.568 --> 00:05:48.804
- Hey, this move to ban the muslim brotherhood in texas
- 00:05:48.804 --> 00:05:52.174
- By governor greg abbott.
- 00:05:52.174 --> 00:05:53.809
- How significant do you think this is?
- 00:05:53.809 --> 00:05:56.044
- Could there be a tangible effect here on the brotherhood
- 00:05:56.044 --> 00:05:59.748
- Network in america?
- 00:05:59.748 --> 00:06:01.416
- Erick, it's always good to see you.
- 00:06:01.416 --> 00:06:03.485
- Our friend to israel.
- 00:06:03.485 --> 00:06:05.921
- It's a good question
- 00:06:05.921 --> 00:06:06.955
- About designating, the muslim brotherhood.
- 00:06:06.955 --> 00:06:09.024
- So here's where i'm out with that.
- 00:06:09.024 --> 00:06:10.959
- Governor abbott just did what washington
- 00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.795
- Should have done years ago.
- 00:06:13.795 --> 00:06:16.832
- I'm talking about specifically
- 00:06:16.832 --> 00:06:18.133
- From a counter terrorism standpoint, and i'll explain it.
- 00:06:18.133 --> 00:06:21.970
- This is massive, erick.
- 00:06:21.970 --> 00:06:23.672
- He's calling these groups what they actually are.
- 00:06:23.672 --> 00:06:26.842
- And that's the first layer in the counterterrorism pipeline
- 00:06:26.842 --> 00:06:30.645
- Here to be able to prevent these attacks.
- 00:06:30.645 --> 00:06:34.449
- The ideological, networks that have laundered
- 00:06:34.449 --> 00:06:38.753
- Jihadist doctrine into the united states
- 00:06:38.753 --> 00:06:42.390
- Since the 1960s in texas is drawing a red line, erick,
- 00:06:42.390 --> 00:06:46.862
- That says if you're linked to hamas or the muslim brotherhood,
- 00:06:46.862 --> 00:06:51.733
- Even politically, you're done operating here.
- 00:06:51.733 --> 00:06:55.904
- And that's where i'm out with that. it's a monster move.
- 00:06:55.904 --> 00:06:58.406
- Yeah. how dangerous aaron is the brotherhood.
- 00:06:58.406 --> 00:07:00.575
- I mean, i've called them the granddaddy of them all
- 00:07:00.575 --> 00:07:02.944
- When it comes to modern day islamic terror.
- 00:07:02.944 --> 00:07:05.080
- How wide is their network and how dangerous are they?
- 00:07:05.080 --> 00:07:08.550
- It's a good question.
- 00:07:09.050 --> 00:07:10.051
- And i think it's important for context,
- 00:07:10.051 --> 00:07:12.687
- To really put your finger on who
- 00:07:13.321 --> 00:07:14.789
- The muslim brotherhood really is.
- 00:07:14.789 --> 00:07:16.791
- And the brotherhood
- 00:07:16.791 --> 00:07:19.427
- Is the root of the ideological engine.
- 00:07:19.427 --> 00:07:23.698
- It's how i explain it behind almost every major.
- 00:07:23.698 --> 00:07:28.203
- And, you know, this sunni extremist group, al-qaida,
- 00:07:28.203 --> 00:07:33.675
- Hamas, the pj, the original ideology
- 00:07:33.675 --> 00:07:38.680
- Behind ice, it, isis, and it all traces
- 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.884
- Back to the brotherhood doctrine and their goal.
- 00:07:42.884 --> 00:07:46.221
- Let me make this really clear.
- 00:07:46.221 --> 00:07:48.056
- Isn't civil rights.
- 00:07:48.056 --> 00:07:49.357
- This isn't a civil rights movement.
- 00:07:49.357 --> 00:07:51.226
- It's not coexistence.
- 00:07:51.226 --> 00:07:53.662
- It's global sharia supremacy
- 00:07:53.662 --> 00:07:57.399
- Through a long game infiltration model.
- 00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:01.536
- What are we talking about?
- 00:08:01.536 --> 00:08:03.138
- Education, mosques, policy influence
- 00:08:03.138 --> 00:08:08.209
- And political pressure.
- 00:08:08.209 --> 00:08:09.644
- And they know what they're doing
- 00:08:09.644 --> 00:08:11.479
- And they don't lead with the violence they lead.
- 00:08:11.479 --> 00:08:14.816
- As you know, you wrote the book on this back in 13.
- 00:08:14.816 --> 00:08:18.320
- They lead with the ideology.
- 00:08:18.320 --> 00:08:20.455
- And that is the most
- 00:08:20.455 --> 00:08:22.724
- Dangerous piece the missile can normally be.
- 00:08:22.724 --> 00:08:27.062
- It's the most dangerous piece, like we say in hebrew.
- 00:08:27.062 --> 00:08:29.731
- Yeah. very stealthy.
- 00:08:29.731 --> 00:08:30.899
- They've been called terrorist in suits.
- 00:08:30.899 --> 00:08:32.567
- Aaron, i've interviewed brotherhood leaders in europe.
- 00:08:32.567 --> 00:08:35.370
- They're western educated, they're very eloquent.
- 00:08:35.370 --> 00:08:37.505
- They're they're unassuming in some ways.
- 00:08:37.505 --> 00:08:39.374
- Yet that stealth jihad,
- 00:08:39.374 --> 00:08:41.309
- They burrow into a community and they transform it from within.
- 00:08:41.309 --> 00:08:45.480
- And that's something you're
- 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:46.715
- Working against, by the way, with your great new initiative.
- 00:08:46.715 --> 00:08:49.651
- Gideon cracking down on domestic extremists of all stripes.
- 00:08:49.651 --> 00:08:53.989
- Aaron, tell us more about gideon and what you're doing there
- 00:08:53.989 --> 00:08:56.091
- And why it's such a game changer.
- 00:08:56.091 --> 00:08:57.892
- So gideon is america's early warning system.
- 00:08:57.892 --> 00:09:02.430
- I've been in this space now for 25 years,
- 00:09:02.430 --> 00:09:05.834
- And it is a major, major breakthrough.
- 00:09:05.834 --> 00:09:09.237
- It's huge.
- 00:09:09.237 --> 00:09:10.538
- Every lone wolf attack, or erick from a synagogue
- 00:09:10.538 --> 00:09:13.742
- Or church shooter to maul attackers, leaks
- 00:09:13.742 --> 00:09:17.545
- Digital intent online before they act.
- 00:09:17.545 --> 00:09:21.216
- Uvalde.
- 00:09:21.449 --> 00:09:22.917
- Allen,
- 00:09:23.118 --> 00:09:24.219
- Texas the parkland shooter, all of them spiraling
- 00:09:24.219 --> 00:09:27.589
- Ideological grievance, suicidal ideation.
- 00:09:27.589 --> 00:09:31.259
- And gideon is the first system which i've just built.
- 00:09:31.259 --> 00:09:35.130
- We're now deployed in, in five states.
- 00:09:35.130 --> 00:09:38.033
- We're in alabama, we're in florida, we're in california.
- 00:09:38.033 --> 00:09:41.836
- We're about to move into new mexico.
- 00:09:41.836 --> 00:09:43.772
- We're about to move into illinois.
- 00:09:43.772 --> 00:09:45.907
- Gideon is the first system using today's ai
- 00:09:45.907 --> 00:09:50.011
- That can pull those signals out of the noise in real time.
- 00:09:50.011 --> 00:09:54.215
- And so let me give you context.
- 00:09:54.215 --> 00:09:56.251
- Before a stadium event, or a concert, gideon scans
- 00:09:56.251 --> 00:10:00.822
- The open public web and detects pre attack behaviors hours,
- 00:10:00.822 --> 00:10:06.361
- Days, months, sometimes years before somebody shows up.
- 00:10:06.361 --> 00:10:10.498
- And the problem with that law enforcement is facing
- 00:10:10.498 --> 00:10:12.901
- Is that there's too much data for law enforcement to scrape
- 00:10:12.901 --> 00:10:16.438
- The internet's ten years ahead of where law enforcement is now.
- 00:10:16.438 --> 00:10:20.241
- And so gideon essentially cuts through that noise.
- 00:10:20.241 --> 00:10:23.978
- It's built
- 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:25.547
- On the same behavioral threat detection science that the fbi,
- 00:10:25.547 --> 00:10:28.883
- The secret service, and israeli counterterror units
- 00:10:28.883 --> 00:10:31.553
- Have been using for 35 years,
- 00:10:31.553 --> 00:10:33.188
- Going back to the reagan assassination.
- 00:10:33.188 --> 00:10:35.190
- And now i've created that capability
- 00:10:35.190 --> 00:10:36.725
- For local law enforcement
- 00:10:36.725 --> 00:10:38.593
- Because they're the ones who are going to be responding.
- 00:10:38.593 --> 00:10:40.261
- It's their backyard where it's going to hit.
- 00:10:40.261 --> 00:10:42.130
- So getting cuts through the noise
- 00:10:42.130 --> 00:10:43.531
- By flagging the behavior, and i don't care what the ideology
- 00:10:43.531 --> 00:10:47.168
- Is, honestly, even though i do care, gideon doesn't care.
- 00:10:47.168 --> 00:10:50.405
- The behavior never lies.
- 00:10:50.405 --> 00:10:51.940
- So it flags the behavior, scores the threat, and then assigns
- 00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:56.544
- A tiered alert that we can then root to law enforcement,
- 00:10:56.544 --> 00:11:00.949
- In seconds.
- 00:11:01.282 --> 00:11:02.183
- And it's already being used by agencies,
- 00:11:02.183 --> 00:11:03.752
- Like i said, across the country.
- 00:11:03.752 --> 00:11:05.220
- And for the first time in the history of public safety, erick,
- 00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:09.157
- Local law enforcement is receiving
- 00:11:09.157 --> 00:11:10.992
- National grade intelligence before the gun is loaded.
- 00:11:10.992 --> 00:11:14.462
- And that fills a critical gap, which is it buys them time.
- 00:11:14.462 --> 00:11:18.900
- Aaron. it's amazing.
- 00:11:18.900 --> 00:11:19.934
- I truly think it's going to change the game.
- 00:11:19.934 --> 00:11:21.936
- It's a breakthrough, my friend. congratulations. number one.
- 00:11:21.936 --> 00:11:24.939
- Number two, we're talking about breakthroughs.
- 00:11:24.939 --> 00:11:26.941
- Hey, we may see one between the saudis and israel.
- 00:11:26.941 --> 00:11:29.978
- We'll talk more about that with aaron cohen after the break.
- 00:11:29.978 --> 00:11:33.081
- Much more to come.
- 00:11:33.081 --> 00:11:34.149
- The abraham accords very much back on the table.
- 00:11:34.149 --> 00:11:36.017
- Find out more next.
- 00:11:36.017 --> 00:11:40.000
- Find out more next.
- 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:42.358
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight we're talking north.
- 00:11:43.459 --> 00:11:45.361
- Good friend aaron cohen,
- 00:11:45.361 --> 00:11:46.629
- Israeli special forces veteran, host of the aaron cohen show.
- 00:11:46.629 --> 00:11:49.532
- Folks, follow him on youtube. of course.
- 00:11:49.532 --> 00:11:51.167
- Subscribe to this channel. check him out on x as well.
- 00:11:51.167 --> 00:11:53.569
- Instagram is all over social media.
- 00:11:53.569 --> 00:11:55.604
- Aaron big meeting in dc yesterday.
- 00:11:55.604 --> 00:11:57.807
- President trump
- 00:11:57.807 --> 00:11:59.074
- And mbs, the saudi crown prince abraham accords on the table.
- 00:11:59.074 --> 00:12:02.845
- But mbs is pushing for a palestinian state.
- 00:12:02.845 --> 00:12:07.049
- Do you think this deal can get done
- 00:12:07.049 --> 00:12:09.318
- Without a palestinian state?
- 00:12:09.318 --> 00:12:10.786
- Can president trump
- 00:12:10.786 --> 00:12:11.854
- Push us forward without that palestinian statehood?
- 00:12:11.854 --> 00:12:14.657
- It's yet to be determined.
- 00:12:15.224 --> 00:12:17.226
- I think that, that may be, s
- 00:12:17.226 --> 00:12:19.728
- Is is obviously, posturing.
- 00:12:19.728 --> 00:12:22.832
- At the end of the day, he wants to be in business
- 00:12:22.832 --> 00:12:24.600
- With the united states. like, here's where i'm out with this.
- 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.936
- I think, trump and mbs, this meeting is a major,
- 00:12:26.936 --> 00:12:30.439
- Very needed reset.
- 00:12:30.439 --> 00:12:32.141
- And, i think it's
- 00:12:32.141 --> 00:12:33.676
- I think the key here is that it's a warning shot to iran.
- 00:12:33.676 --> 00:12:36.312
- And trump
- 00:12:36.312 --> 00:12:37.413
- Is signaling america's back in the deterrence business,
- 00:12:37.413 --> 00:12:40.182
- Which is a big breakthrough, and that the saudis
- 00:12:40.182 --> 00:12:42.618
- Are hearing him loudly.
- 00:12:42.618 --> 00:12:43.819
- And for the adversaries,
- 00:12:43.819 --> 00:12:45.120
- It means that the axis of iran, hamas, hezbollah,
- 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.591
- It's depleting that final little piece of oxygen.
- 00:12:48.591 --> 00:12:51.627
- But i will say this, that $1 trillion, tech
- 00:12:51.627 --> 00:12:55.965
- Investment that he committed to is very transformational.
- 00:12:55.965 --> 00:12:59.969
- And that saudi money in u.s.
- 00:12:59.969 --> 00:13:02.404
- Ai and the critical minerals that they were talking about
- 00:13:02.404 --> 00:13:05.841
- Shifts that power away from china.
- 00:13:05.841 --> 00:13:08.277
- And it strengthens that u.s., sunni alliance against iran.
- 00:13:08.277 --> 00:13:11.947
- And the saudis know the future,
- 00:13:11.947 --> 00:13:13.249
- The battlefield, erick, is ai driven.
- 00:13:13.249 --> 00:13:15.417
- And i think that, locks in america
- 00:13:15.417 --> 00:13:18.387
- As their strategic partner.
- 00:13:18.387 --> 00:13:20.022
- So it's very, very exciting. yeah.
- 00:13:20.022 --> 00:13:22.091
- Agreed. aaron.
- 00:13:22.091 --> 00:13:23.125
- One question. about a minute left. short block.
- 00:13:23.125 --> 00:13:25.060
- You're unfortunately, my friend, but one minute left.
- 00:13:25.060 --> 00:13:27.396
- The saudis getting f-35 fighter jets
- 00:13:28.197 --> 00:13:30.900
- From the u.s israel, of course, has to keep
- 00:13:30.900 --> 00:13:32.835
- That qualitative edge in the middle east.
- 00:13:32.835 --> 00:13:35.371
- Is there cause for concern in terms of the saudis
- 00:13:35.371 --> 00:13:38.741
- Getting those u.s f-35s?
- 00:13:38.741 --> 00:13:42.278
- Not yet. not yet.
- 00:13:42.711 --> 00:13:44.146
- I don't think saudi wants to get into a skirmish with israel.
- 00:13:44.146 --> 00:13:47.149
- I think they really want to be in business.
- 00:13:47.149 --> 00:13:48.817
- Obviously, israeli intelligence will keep an eye on
- 00:13:48.817 --> 00:13:50.986
- Anything that's happening military,
- 00:13:50.986 --> 00:13:52.788
- Militarily throughout the entire region.
- 00:13:52.788 --> 00:13:55.057
- But i think so far it's okay.
- 00:13:55.057 --> 00:13:57.459
- You know, it gives the us forward
- 00:13:57.459 --> 00:13:59.028
- Facing the intelligence sharing, the ability to counter iran,
- 00:13:59.028 --> 00:14:02.164
- All those multiple angles.
- 00:14:02.164 --> 00:14:03.532
- And i think that
- 00:14:03.532 --> 00:14:04.667
- Saudi arabia becoming that that major non-nato ally,
- 00:14:04.667 --> 00:14:08.304
- I think it hardens
- 00:14:08.304 --> 00:14:09.405
- The entire middle east against that jihadist network.
- 00:14:09.405 --> 00:14:12.441
- And so for now, i'm okay with it.
- 00:14:12.441 --> 00:14:14.276
- And i think that as long as we keep trying
- 00:14:14.276 --> 00:14:16.245
- To move towards that normalization with israel,
- 00:14:16.245 --> 00:14:18.447
- Let's see what happens.
- 00:14:18.447 --> 00:14:20.082
- Yeah. give trump some credit.
- 00:14:20.082 --> 00:14:21.951
- Everybody's talking behind the scenes.
- 00:14:21.951 --> 00:14:23.385
- Let's see how this plays out.
- 00:14:23.385 --> 00:14:24.486
- Aaron great points all around my friend.
- 00:14:24.486 --> 00:14:26.588
- Hey a new day in the middle east and you are on top of it.
- 00:14:26.588 --> 00:14:30.092
- Congrats on gideon.
- 00:14:30.092 --> 00:14:31.360
- We look forward to hearing more about that great new program,
- 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.595
- Aaron, that you're getting off the ground.
- 00:14:33.595 --> 00:14:34.830
- God bless my friend aaron cohen.
- 00:14:34.830 --> 00:14:36.198
- We will see you again soon.
- 00:14:36.198 --> 00:14:37.599
- And coming up next,
- 00:14:37.599 --> 00:14:38.701
- We talk about the muslim brotherhood in america.
- 00:14:38.701 --> 00:14:40.703
- While the brotherhood and radical islamist
- 00:14:40.703 --> 00:14:43.005
- Have an unholy alliance with the radical left.
- 00:14:43.005 --> 00:14:46.008
- Look at the breakdown on that coming up next.
- 00:14:46.008 --> 00:14:48.610
- They'll move.
- 00:14:48.610 --> 00:14:51.004
- They'll move.
- 00:14:51.004 --> 00:14:54.051
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight
- 00:14:54.785 --> 00:14:56.620
- From the rise of radical islam and the radical left to attacks
- 00:14:56.620 --> 00:15:00.491
- On judeo-christian values and the explosion
- 00:15:00.491 --> 00:15:04.195
- Of anti-semitism, america is facing a cultural battle
- 00:15:04.195 --> 00:15:08.232
- Unlike anything we've seen in our lifetimes,
- 00:15:08.232 --> 00:15:11.335
- And one of the leading voices
- 00:15:11.335 --> 00:15:12.636
- Confronting that battle head on is marissa streit.
- 00:15:12.636 --> 00:15:16.040
- Marissa is the ceo of prager u.
- 00:15:16.040 --> 00:15:18.075
- The world's leading conservative nonprofit using media,
- 00:15:18.075 --> 00:15:21.479
- Technology and education to defend western civilization.
- 00:15:21.479 --> 00:15:25.883
- She hosts real talk
- 00:15:25.883 --> 00:15:27.184
- With marissa, one of prager u's fastest growing series,
- 00:15:27.184 --> 00:15:30.287
- And launched prager u kids now partnered with state education
- 00:15:30.287 --> 00:15:34.191
- Departments across the country.
- 00:15:34.191 --> 00:15:35.993
- Marissa, great to see you.
- 00:15:35.993 --> 00:15:37.762
- Hey, i think a good place or maybe a bad place to start,
- 00:15:37.762 --> 00:15:40.598
- Is this unholy alliance between the radical left
- 00:15:40.598 --> 00:15:43.534
- And radical islam.
- 00:15:43.534 --> 00:15:44.535
- You've done such great work at prager u.
- 00:15:44.535 --> 00:15:46.771
- Drawing attention to this,
- 00:15:46.771 --> 00:15:48.839
- And i guess you could say zahran mamdani in new york city,
- 00:15:48.839 --> 00:15:52.009
- The next mayor of new york
- 00:15:52.009 --> 00:15:53.044
- Is kind of the personification of this. marissa.
- 00:15:53.044 --> 00:15:55.746
- We've seen it
- 00:15:55.746 --> 00:15:57.014
- Explode since october 7th, in particular on college campuses.
- 00:15:57.014 --> 00:16:00.351
- Tell us more about these strange bedfellows, radical left,
- 00:16:00.351 --> 00:16:03.988
- Radical islamist,
- 00:16:03.988 --> 00:16:05.189
- And how they're working together to undermine the west.
- 00:16:05.189 --> 00:16:08.526
- Yeah,
- 00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:09.727
- It seems like a bizarre red green alliance.
- 00:16:09.727 --> 00:16:12.029
- Well, how is it that islamists who supposedly have all of these
- 00:16:12.029 --> 00:16:16.567
- Social constraints where they don't allow women
- 00:16:16.567 --> 00:16:19.170
- To do things and, and and they're incredibly religious?
- 00:16:19.170 --> 00:16:23.507
- How are they aligning with the lgbtq plus folks?
- 00:16:23.507 --> 00:16:27.511
- And the answer actually is somewhat
- 00:16:27.511 --> 00:16:30.581
- Similar to what happened in egyptian, christian,
- 00:16:30.581 --> 00:16:33.717
- Egyptian prisons in the 1950s.
- 00:16:33.717 --> 00:16:37.188
- In the 1950s,
- 00:16:37.188 --> 00:16:38.522
- There was a very bizarre alliance
- 00:16:38.522 --> 00:16:40.424
- That happened when there were a bunch
- 00:16:40.424 --> 00:16:41.859
- Of marxists and islamists that made it into prisons,
- 00:16:41.859 --> 00:16:45.029
- And they started talking and reading karl marx
- 00:16:45.029 --> 00:16:47.598
- And really realized that while popularized
- 00:16:47.598 --> 00:16:50.901
- Popularizing the idea of karl marx to create
- 00:16:50.901 --> 00:16:54.105
- A narrative of an oppressor versus an oppressed,
- 00:16:54.105 --> 00:16:57.408
- They can start building a model for sweeping
- 00:16:57.408 --> 00:17:01.745
- Young people who feel despair, who feel anger
- 00:17:01.745 --> 00:17:04.815
- And want to belong to something.
- 00:17:04.815 --> 00:17:06.517
- And so many years later,
- 00:17:06.517 --> 00:17:07.985
- You see this red green alliance happening
- 00:17:07.985 --> 00:17:10.454
- Even here in the west, in america.
- 00:17:10.454 --> 00:17:12.523
- But but some of these ideas that came through the muslim
- 00:17:12.523 --> 00:17:15.392
- Brotherhood, these jihadis are now infiltrating
- 00:17:15.392 --> 00:17:18.996
- Into these left wing leftist marxist minds
- 00:17:18.996 --> 00:17:22.800
- And so the similarities are, well, blame, blame, blame.
- 00:17:22.800 --> 00:17:26.203
- Others
- 00:17:26.203 --> 00:17:27.238
- Feel like there is an oppressor and an oppressed
- 00:17:27.238 --> 00:17:29.173
- Not knowing who the oppressor really is,
- 00:17:29.173 --> 00:17:31.008
- But just blame and create despair, create violent,
- 00:17:31.008 --> 00:17:34.912
- Groups who are willing to do things,
- 00:17:34.912 --> 00:17:37.214
- In the name of morality and ethics.
- 00:17:37.214 --> 00:17:39.750
- I mean, notice that they oftentimes believe
- 00:17:39.750 --> 00:17:41.952
- That the ends will,
- 00:17:41.952 --> 00:17:42.920
- You know, just the means will justify the ends,
- 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:44.822
- And therefore they can be violent.
- 00:17:44.822 --> 00:17:47.057
- And there are a lot of similarities
- 00:17:47.057 --> 00:17:48.792
- In the way they act.
- 00:17:48.792 --> 00:17:49.994
- And so while it seems bizarre that there is a red green
- 00:17:49.994 --> 00:17:52.796
- Alliance, because how could the lgbtq plus,
- 00:17:52.796 --> 00:17:56.734
- Ally with hamas jihadists who will literally hang
- 00:17:56.734 --> 00:18:00.838
- Them, the, the acts of, of violence,
- 00:18:00.838 --> 00:18:04.608
- Of small groups that are, are behaving this way.
- 00:18:04.608 --> 00:18:07.811
- This is not necessarily a new thing.
- 00:18:07.811 --> 00:18:09.647
- It was actually seeded in the muslim brotherhood prisons
- 00:18:09.647 --> 00:18:14.385
- During those early years in egypt.
- 00:18:14.385 --> 00:18:17.354
- Great points all around.
- 00:18:17.354 --> 00:18:18.856
- And one of the things they do
- 00:18:18.856 --> 00:18:20.424
- Have in common, obviously, a hatred of america,
- 00:18:20.424 --> 00:18:22.693
- A hatred of judeo-christian
- 00:18:22.693 --> 00:18:24.261
- Western civilization, but also a hatred of israel.
- 00:18:24.261 --> 00:18:27.565
- Can you talk about israel and why it's the linchpin
- 00:18:27.565 --> 00:18:31.302
- Of western civilization?
- 00:18:31.302 --> 00:18:32.803
- The first line of defense for the west?
- 00:18:32.803 --> 00:18:36.273
- Yeah, i like to
- 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:37.808
- Say that israel is almost like the iron dome of the west.
- 00:18:37.808 --> 00:18:40.611
- Right? why is israel
- 00:18:40.611 --> 00:18:42.079
- A tiny little country the size of of new jersey?
- 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:46.083
- Why is it drawing so much attention?
- 00:18:46.083 --> 00:18:48.319
- And the reason is because the islamists, they know
- 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.689
- They know that israel is in fact the iron dome of the west,
- 00:18:51.689 --> 00:18:56.060
- Because there is no other country in the middle east
- 00:18:56.060 --> 00:18:59.163
- That actually defends western values.
- 00:18:59.163 --> 00:19:01.665
- While islamists and marxists don't believe in that.
- 00:19:01.665 --> 00:19:04.602
- And so if they can wipe out israel and really take over
- 00:19:04.602 --> 00:19:08.339
- The entire middle east,
- 00:19:08.339 --> 00:19:09.607
- Then their next line of attack is europe
- 00:19:09.607 --> 00:19:12.776
- And the united states of america.
- 00:19:12.776 --> 00:19:14.311
- And notice they've already done so in in europe.
- 00:19:14.311 --> 00:19:17.481
- They've already attacked europe because,
- 00:19:17.481 --> 00:19:19.083
- I mean, europe turned on israel.
- 00:19:19.083 --> 00:19:20.718
- And so you see that the countries
- 00:19:20.718 --> 00:19:21.986
- That turn on israel
- 00:19:21.986 --> 00:19:23.087
- Essentially walk away from the defense of democracy,
- 00:19:23.087 --> 00:19:26.890
- The defense of athens and jerusalem.
- 00:19:26.890 --> 00:19:29.059
- And this is a huge warning for us as americans.
- 00:19:29.059 --> 00:19:32.329
- We know that as though
- 00:19:32.329 --> 00:19:34.031
- The ideas of western civilization
- 00:19:34.031 --> 00:19:36.500
- Come in the ideas of marxism and islamism.
- 00:19:36.500 --> 00:19:39.303
- And i don't think anybody that lives here
- 00:19:39.303 --> 00:19:40.838
- Wants to live in this situation that we're seeing in iran
- 00:19:40.838 --> 00:19:44.141
- Or other middle eastern countries.
- 00:19:44.141 --> 00:19:45.743
- Hey, you mentioned marxism.
- 00:19:45.743 --> 00:19:47.411
- How concerned are you about gen z embracing socialism?
- 00:19:47.411 --> 00:19:50.748
- You do you do such great work reaching that generation
- 00:19:50.748 --> 00:19:53.384
- At prager u.
- 00:19:53.384 --> 00:19:54.385
- And it's such an interesting generation.
- 00:19:54.385 --> 00:19:56.153
- I have two gen z daughters, 15 and 18,
- 00:19:56.153 --> 00:19:59.123
- And they're very conservative.
- 00:19:59.123 --> 00:20:00.824
- So we see on one hand gen z turning to faith,
- 00:20:00.824 --> 00:20:03.227
- Especially since charlie kirk's assassination.
- 00:20:03.227 --> 00:20:05.963
- But on the other hand, segments of gen z embracing socialism.
- 00:20:05.963 --> 00:20:09.867
- But what's your take on that?
- 00:20:09.867 --> 00:20:11.802
- You know, what i would say is that we need to pay attention
- 00:20:11.802 --> 00:20:14.171
- To all gen zers, not just the ones on the left,
- 00:20:14.171 --> 00:20:16.707
- But also the ones on the right.
- 00:20:16.707 --> 00:20:18.075
- For a very long time,
- 00:20:18.075 --> 00:20:19.176
- We have told our young boys that they're disaffected
- 00:20:19.176 --> 00:20:22.379
- Because they have been treated
- 00:20:22.379 --> 00:20:23.414
- So poorly with the nonsense of toxic masculinity
- 00:20:23.414 --> 00:20:26.950
- And all of that.
- 00:20:26.950 --> 00:20:27.985
- And so even boys on the right are feeling that
- 00:20:27.985 --> 00:20:31.488
- They are oppressed.
- 00:20:31.488 --> 00:20:32.623
- And if we continue to tell them that they're oppressed,
- 00:20:32.623 --> 00:20:34.858
- Believe me, that they will believe that.
- 00:20:34.858 --> 00:20:36.960
- And so the concern that i have is that we need to bring
- 00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:40.064
- The armor of joy back into our youth.
- 00:20:40.064 --> 00:20:42.499
- We need to express to them that life is wonderful, that
- 00:20:42.499 --> 00:20:46.337
- They should be grateful to be living in america
- 00:20:46.337 --> 00:20:48.505
- And not identify as victims, because if they identify
- 00:20:48.505 --> 00:20:51.675
- As victims, they will then identify with marxism,
- 00:20:51.675 --> 00:20:55.045
- And they will
- 00:20:55.045 --> 00:20:55.746
- Then identify with narratives
- 00:20:55.746 --> 00:20:57.448
- That essentially are anti-american
- 00:20:57.448 --> 00:20:59.817
- And it will only hurt them and hurt our society.
- 00:20:59.817 --> 00:21:02.920
- So i have a huge warning that we need to pay
- 00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:04.788
- Attention, not just to the left wing
- 00:21:04.788 --> 00:21:06.590
- Children of gen z, but also to the ones on
- 00:21:06.590 --> 00:21:09.493
- The right who are being fed a steady diet of despair.
- 00:21:09.493 --> 00:21:13.097
- Yeah, that woke right
- 00:21:13.097 --> 00:21:14.331
- And the anti-semitic madness coming from that segment.
- 00:21:14.331 --> 00:21:16.867
- We'll talk to you more about that at a future date.
- 00:21:16.867 --> 00:21:18.702
- Marissa, real quick before we let you go,
- 00:21:18.702 --> 00:21:20.738
- The one and only dennis prager, founder of prager u.
- 00:21:20.738 --> 00:21:23.674
- He's had some health troubles, of course, over the past year.
- 00:21:23.674 --> 00:21:26.043
- Marissa, how's dennis doing?
- 00:21:26.043 --> 00:21:27.378
- Our viewers love him. we're praying for him.
- 00:21:27.378 --> 00:21:29.313
- What's the latest on dennis's condition?
- 00:21:29.313 --> 00:21:31.181
- Friends, dennis prager is living his values.
- 00:21:32.082 --> 00:21:34.418
- He has severe.
- 00:21:34.418 --> 00:21:36.754
- He has suffered a severe injury.
- 00:21:36.754 --> 00:21:38.455
- It's it's heartbreaking.
- 00:21:38.455 --> 00:21:40.057
- But on the other hand, it's unbelievably inspiring.
- 00:21:40.057 --> 00:21:42.760
- His mind is still there.
- 00:21:42.760 --> 00:21:44.027
- I've done an interview with him a few months ago,
- 00:21:44.027 --> 00:21:46.063
- Learned so much about
- 00:21:46.063 --> 00:21:47.664
- How to handle this adversity that he is dealing with.
- 00:21:47.664 --> 00:21:51.468
- He is still loving life even though he's in the hospital.
- 00:21:51.468 --> 00:21:54.238
- He's enjoying the people that he loves,
- 00:21:54.238 --> 00:21:56.006
- And i'm going to head over there in the next month.
- 00:21:56.006 --> 00:21:57.875
- I'm going to interview him again.
- 00:21:57.875 --> 00:21:59.276
- His mind is there, his body is not doing so well.
- 00:21:59.276 --> 00:22:02.146
- And so we're going to need to have continuous prayers.
- 00:22:02.146 --> 00:22:04.948
- Let's bombard god almighty with as many prayers
- 00:22:04.948 --> 00:22:08.352
- As we can, so that we can get dennis back to us.
- 00:22:08.352 --> 00:22:11.422
- And boy do we need him these days. amen.
- 00:22:11.422 --> 00:22:13.524
- We will do exactly that. marissa. thank you so much.
- 00:22:13.524 --> 00:22:15.893
- God bless. dennis.
- 00:22:15.893 --> 00:22:16.693
- Of course we are praying for him.
- 00:22:16.693 --> 00:22:17.861
- We're praying for all the work you're doing at prager u.
- 00:22:17.861 --> 00:22:20.264
- Marissa. great job. keep it up. we'll see you again soon.
- 00:22:20.264 --> 00:22:22.766
- And coming up, my final thoughts on the enemy within.
- 00:22:22.766 --> 00:22:27.337
- That's next. stick around.
- 00:22:27.337 --> 00:22:31.005
- That's next. stick around.
- 00:22:31.005 --> 00:22:34.012
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
- 00:22:34.913 --> 00:22:36.748
- As we wrap up here, we've been talking about
- 00:22:36.748 --> 00:22:38.650
- The muslim brotherhood, the enemy within.
- 00:22:38.650 --> 00:22:41.052
- And i mentioned earlier, look, i've interviewed
- 00:22:41.052 --> 00:22:42.720
- Muslim brotherhood leaders in europe.
- 00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:44.689
- These are guys who wear suits and ties,
- 00:22:44.689 --> 00:22:46.591
- Are western educated, very eloquent.
- 00:22:46.591 --> 00:22:48.460
- You don't see them coming.
- 00:22:48.460 --> 00:22:50.295
- That's why it's very important that we know their ideology.
- 00:22:50.295 --> 00:22:53.364
- I think of second corinthians chapter 11, verse 14,
- 00:22:53.364 --> 00:22:56.701
- For satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
- 00:22:56.701 --> 00:23:01.306
- We need to have discernment,
- 00:23:01.306 --> 00:23:02.941
- Wisdom, and clarity in dealing with these
- 00:23:02.941 --> 00:23:05.243
- Very dangerous organizations.
- 00:23:05.243 --> 00:23:07.045
- I love what governor abbott
- 00:23:07.045 --> 00:23:08.613
- Did here in texas, banning the brotherhood,
- 00:23:08.613 --> 00:23:10.615
- And we need a federal amendment banning them as well.
- 00:23:10.615 --> 00:23:13.618
- Hey, tomorrow night, great show.
- 00:23:13.618 --> 00:23:14.686
- Our good friend brandon tatum is here.
- 00:23:14.686 --> 00:23:16.154
- Michael wadley
- 00:23:16.154 --> 00:23:17.255
- Breaking down the stakes for america, israel and you.
- 00:23:17.255 --> 00:23:21.259
- Until then god bless you.
- 00:23:21.259 --> 00:23:23.461
- And we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:23.461 --> 00:23:23.461
