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: October 27, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | October 27, 2025
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight, i'm erick stakelbeck
- 00:00:03.224 --> 00:00:05.626
- And we are just eight days away from something that
- 00:00:05.626 --> 00:00:09.097
- Would have been unimaginable just a few years ago.
- 00:00:09.097 --> 00:00:12.934
- On november 4th, new york
- 00:00:12.934 --> 00:00:14.402
- City will very likely elect as its next mayor
- 00:00:14.402 --> 00:00:17.738
- An anti-semitic muslim with ties to radical islamist
- 00:00:17.738 --> 00:00:22.143
- And a communist economic platform.
- 00:00:22.143 --> 00:00:24.979
- Yes, this is really on the table.
- 00:00:24.979 --> 00:00:27.448
- His name is zoran kwame mamdani.
- 00:00:27.448 --> 00:00:30.384
- He just turned 34 years old, and he only became a u.s.
- 00:00:30.384 --> 00:00:33.521
- Citizen in 2018 after being raised in uganda.
- 00:00:33.521 --> 00:00:37.792
- He's never done
- 00:00:37.792 --> 00:00:38.626
- Anything of significance in his life,
- 00:00:38.626 --> 00:00:40.628
- But now he is the overwhelming favorite to lead
- 00:00:40.628 --> 00:00:43.931
- America's largest city and financial capital.
- 00:00:43.931 --> 00:00:47.368
- This is happening just 24 years after 911, when islamic
- 00:00:47.368 --> 00:00:52.306
- Terrorist attack new york city and killed thousands of people.
- 00:00:52.306 --> 00:00:56.177
- But zoran mamdani has a unique take on the worst
- 00:00:56.177 --> 00:01:00.014
- Terror attack in u.s.
- 00:01:00.014 --> 00:01:01.482
- History. watch.
- 00:01:01.482 --> 00:01:02.850
- I want to use this moment to speak to
- 00:01:02.850 --> 00:01:04.352
- The muslims of new york city.
- 00:01:04.352 --> 00:01:12.860
- I want to speak to
- 00:01:13.294 --> 00:01:14.428
- The memory of my aunt.
- 00:01:14.428 --> 00:01:20.234
- Who stopped taking the subway after september 11th
- 00:01:21.269 --> 00:01:24.505
- Because she did not feel safe in her hijab.
- 00:01:24.505 --> 00:01:28.843
- So, mom,
- 00:01:29.110 --> 00:01:30.011
- Donny's un was the real victim of 9/11.
- 00:01:30.011 --> 00:01:32.813
- Not the innocent people who perished in the twin towers.
- 00:01:32.813 --> 00:01:36.150
- By the way, he appears to be lying
- 00:01:36.150 --> 00:01:38.452
- Because it's now emerged
- 00:01:38.452 --> 00:01:39.754
- That his aunt wasn't even living in new york city after 9/11.
- 00:01:39.754 --> 00:01:43.624
- But don't worry,
- 00:01:43.624 --> 00:01:44.792
- Zoran is promising new yorkers lots of free stuff.
- 00:01:44.792 --> 00:01:48.563
- Take a look.
- 00:01:48.896 --> 00:01:49.864
- Here is what we stand for.
- 00:01:49.864 --> 00:01:51.699
- My friends, we are going to freeze the rent
- 00:01:51.699 --> 00:01:54.769
- For more than 2 million rent stabilized tenants.
- 00:01:54.769 --> 00:02:00.675
- And use every resource at our disposal
- 00:02:01.442 --> 00:02:04.478
- To build housing for everyone who needs it.
- 00:02:04.478 --> 00:02:10.418
- We are going
- 00:02:10.751 --> 00:02:11.819
- To eliminate the fear on every single bus line.
- 00:02:11.819 --> 00:02:17.024
- Lots of big promises there.
- 00:02:17.625 --> 00:02:19.994
- And how is zoran going to pay for it?
- 00:02:19.994 --> 00:02:22.430
- Well, one way is by increasing property taxes on predominantly
- 00:02:22.430 --> 00:02:26.834
- White neighborhoods. he's very open about that.
- 00:02:26.834 --> 00:02:29.737
- So he's not only a communist and islamist sympathizer.
- 00:02:29.737 --> 00:02:33.641
- And in israel, basher, he's also a race baiter.
- 00:02:33.641 --> 00:02:37.445
- You might be asking yourself,
- 00:02:37.445 --> 00:02:38.846
- How in the world could this happen?
- 00:02:38.846 --> 00:02:40.915
- Consider this.
- 00:02:40.915 --> 00:02:42.216
- 62% of those supporting mom donnie are foreign born, u.s.
- 00:02:42.216 --> 00:02:47.488
- Born voters back his opponents, curtis sliwa and mario cuomo,
- 00:02:47.488 --> 00:02:51.692
- By a large margin.
- 00:02:51.692 --> 00:02:53.127
- But the face of new york city
- 00:02:53.127 --> 00:02:54.929
- Has changed dramatically in the years since 911.
- 00:02:54.929 --> 00:02:58.666
- And if you want to have an idea of where
- 00:02:58.666 --> 00:03:00.301
- This is all heading, look no further than london.
- 00:03:00.301 --> 00:03:03.571
- It's another great city of western civilization
- 00:03:03.571 --> 00:03:06.107
- Where nearly half of the residents are now foreign born.
- 00:03:06.107 --> 00:03:10.111
- And the most
- 00:03:10.111 --> 00:03:11.312
- Popular name for baby boys, like in the rest of the uk,
- 00:03:11.312 --> 00:03:14.448
- Is mohammed.
- 00:03:14.448 --> 00:03:15.683
- A tipping point came in 2016 when sadiq
- 00:03:15.683 --> 00:03:18.252
- Khan, a muslim socialist, became mayor.
- 00:03:18.252 --> 00:03:21.622
- That's when scenes like this from london's tower hamlets
- 00:03:21.622 --> 00:03:25.326
- Neighborhood this past weekend became commonplace. oh
- 00:03:25.326 --> 00:03:30.131
- Oh my god.
- 00:03:30.431 --> 00:03:34.902
- Oh, really?
- 00:03:35.236 --> 00:03:35.703
- Oh my god. oh!
- 00:03:35.703 --> 00:03:59.760
- Now, did you notice the leftists with the megaphone
- 00:04:00.761 --> 00:04:03.731
- Pleading with the massed islamist chanting allahu
- 00:04:03.731 --> 00:04:06.767
- Akbar, that they were all on the same side
- 00:04:06.767 --> 00:04:09.770
- And the islamist immediately says, no, we're not.
- 00:04:09.770 --> 00:04:13.541
- Let that be a cautionary tale for the leftist in america,
- 00:04:13.541 --> 00:04:16.944
- Who've come alongside radical islamist and pro hamas rallies.
- 00:04:16.944 --> 00:04:21.415
- You're being used.
- 00:04:21.415 --> 00:04:23.384
- Folks, europe seems determined to go off a cliff
- 00:04:23.384 --> 00:04:26.053
- In new york city, apparently wants to follow them.
- 00:04:26.053 --> 00:04:29.090
- Thankfully, an overwhelming majority
- 00:04:29.090 --> 00:04:31.359
- Of americans reject this madness.
- 00:04:31.359 --> 00:04:33.794
- And while europe is imploding, we've seen strong leadership
- 00:04:33.794 --> 00:04:36.797
- Under president trump and a return to guard in country.
- 00:04:36.797 --> 00:04:40.735
- But as a great man, another president,
- 00:04:40.735 --> 00:04:42.503
- Ronald reagan, once said, freedom
- 00:04:42.503 --> 00:04:44.839
- Is never more than one generation away from extinction.
- 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:48.476
- That's to be fought for and defended by each generation.
- 00:04:48.476 --> 00:04:52.513
- So let's get to work.
- 00:04:52.513 --> 00:04:54.115
- Coming up, we're joined
- 00:04:54.115 --> 00:04:55.216
- By a man who never stops working to spread the gospel
- 00:04:55.216 --> 00:04:58.119
- And help those in desperate need around the world.
- 00:04:58.119 --> 00:05:00.955
- Reverend franklin
- 00:05:00.955 --> 00:05:01.922
- Graham is here to share what his organization,
- 00:05:01.922 --> 00:05:04.225
- Samaritan's purse, is doing in gaza.
- 00:05:04.225 --> 00:05:06.894
- And it all starts now.
- 00:05:06.894 --> 00:05:30.418
- Although a fragile
- 00:05:30.851 --> 00:05:31.986
- Under president trump's plan, gaza remains in ruins.
- 00:05:31.986 --> 00:05:35.489
- Ceasefire brought the last living israeli hostages home.
- 00:05:35.489 --> 00:05:36.390
- And the humanitarian road ahead is long.
- 00:05:36.390 --> 00:05:38.459
- Over the weekend, samaritan's purse launched
- 00:05:38.459 --> 00:05:40.561
- Its 13th relief flight there, and the inaugural mission of its
- 00:05:40.561 --> 00:05:44.565
- New 7067 cargo plane loaded with food and relief supplies.
- 00:05:44.565 --> 00:05:50.271
- It's the latest in an ongoing push that's already delivered
- 00:05:50.271 --> 00:05:53.541
- Over 200 tons of aid and more than 1 million rations.
- 00:05:53.541 --> 00:05:58.078
- With medical teams on the ground in gaza treating patients
- 00:05:58.078 --> 00:06:01.882
- And praying with families.
- 00:06:01.882 --> 00:06:03.484
- Joining us now is reverend
- 00:06:03.484 --> 00:06:04.685
- Franklin graham, president and ceo of samaritan's purse.
- 00:06:04.685 --> 00:06:08.088
- Reverend graham, always great to see you.
- 00:06:08.088 --> 00:06:10.524
- Can you tell us about the need in gaza right now?
- 00:06:10.524 --> 00:06:13.294
- I mean, obviously the food, the supplies you're delivering
- 00:06:13.294 --> 00:06:16.030
- Through samaritan's purse.
- 00:06:16.030 --> 00:06:17.198
- How great is the need? and what are
- 00:06:17.198 --> 00:06:19.333
- Some of the specific needs in that war torn area?
- 00:06:19.333 --> 00:06:23.270
- Gaza has basically been gutted.
- 00:06:23.270 --> 00:06:25.639
- It's been destroyed.
- 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:27.208
- And, you know, people blame israel.
- 00:06:27.208 --> 00:06:30.911
- But you have to look at it's hamas.
- 00:06:30.911 --> 00:06:34.415
- Hamas
- 00:06:34.648 --> 00:06:35.483
- Took 251 captives killed over, 100.
- 00:06:35.483 --> 00:06:38.219
- So, you know, for the 1000 jews that hamas has held
- 00:06:38.219 --> 00:06:42.690
- All of gaza hostage over 2.5 million people.
- 00:06:42.690 --> 00:06:47.094
- They execute anybody that speaks out against them.
- 00:06:47.094 --> 00:06:50.364
- So, hamas is the problem.
- 00:06:50.364 --> 00:06:53.200
- And, we just hope and pray that,
- 00:06:53.200 --> 00:06:56.837
- Part of this peace deal that, president trump,
- 00:06:56.837 --> 00:07:00.708
- Signed, that they will disarm and they'll go away.
- 00:07:00.708 --> 00:07:04.245
- They continue to stay in power.
- 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:06.347
- It's going to be, a real problem for everybody.
- 00:07:06.347 --> 00:07:09.783
- The the need that they need. water.
- 00:07:09.783 --> 00:07:12.186
- Eric, they need food.
- 00:07:12.186 --> 00:07:13.854
- No question.
- 00:07:13.854 --> 00:07:14.522
- They need they need housing.
- 00:07:14.522 --> 00:07:16.857
- And the only way you can provide
- 00:07:16.857 --> 00:07:18.225
- Any kind of temporary shelter is with tents.
- 00:07:18.225 --> 00:07:20.127
- Right now, you can't go in and build, enough houses,
- 00:07:20.127 --> 00:07:23.197
- To put everybody back in a home or an apartment.
- 00:07:23.197 --> 00:07:26.033
- You're just going to have to put them in temporary shelters.
- 00:07:26.033 --> 00:07:28.536
- And so we we plan to do that.
- 00:07:28.536 --> 00:07:30.471
- We'll have tents there. blankets.
- 00:07:30.471 --> 00:07:32.706
- One of the things we've taken on this flight
- 00:07:32.706 --> 00:07:34.275
- That, left us this past weekend were solar lights,
- 00:07:34.275 --> 00:07:38.078
- Little lights that you can turn on and light up your house.
- 00:07:38.078 --> 00:07:42.349
- You'll have, around four hours of light at night.
- 00:07:42.349 --> 00:07:46.320
- It's, it's right now.
- 00:07:46.320 --> 00:07:48.289
- There's almost no electricity in gaza, and it's dark.
- 00:07:48.289 --> 00:07:51.825
- And so when the sun goes down, it's,
- 00:07:51.825 --> 00:07:54.461
- It's a very difficult place.
- 00:07:55.062 --> 00:07:57.665
- We're going to we've been helping israel,
- 00:07:57.665 --> 00:07:59.800
- Of course, and we've provided ambulances to israel.
- 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.804
- We're gonna, 12, things around 12.
- 00:08:03.804 --> 00:08:07.374
- Construction projects right now that we're helping them
- 00:08:07.374 --> 00:08:10.210
- With on different projects.
- 00:08:10.210 --> 00:08:11.745
- But we we, we love the people of israel.
- 00:08:11.745 --> 00:08:14.315
- But i'm also very concerned for the innocent people of gaza
- 00:08:14.315 --> 00:08:19.086
- Who have been caught in the middle.
- 00:08:19.086 --> 00:08:20.788
- And, these are palestinians and need our help.
- 00:08:20.788 --> 00:08:23.290
- They need our prayers.
- 00:08:23.290 --> 00:08:24.992
- And they're they're not, people that are responsible
- 00:08:24.992 --> 00:08:28.462
- For the genocide that took place or the hostages.
- 00:08:28.462 --> 00:08:31.799
- And these are just people,
- 00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:33.534
- And we we need to help them all we can.
- 00:08:33.534 --> 00:08:35.869
- Yeah. and you mentioned israel.
- 00:08:35.869 --> 00:08:37.638
- Reverend graham, look, you're working with magen
- 00:08:37.638 --> 00:08:39.540
- David adom
- 00:08:39.540 --> 00:08:40.674
- To deliver dozens of ambulances badly needed to israel.
- 00:08:40.674 --> 00:08:43.544
- And we know that you prayed over
- 00:08:43.544 --> 00:08:45.112
- This mission before they departed
- 00:08:45.112 --> 00:08:46.814
- In that new 767 to gaza, reverend graham,
- 00:08:46.814 --> 00:08:50.184
- Because there is great risk.
- 00:08:50.184 --> 00:08:51.785
- By the way, you mentioned hamas.
- 00:08:51.785 --> 00:08:53.554
- How does the samaritan's purse
- 00:08:53.554 --> 00:08:54.788
- Team ensure that the food, the materials, the supplies,
- 00:08:54.788 --> 00:08:58.225
- Get into the right hands in gaza?
- 00:08:58.225 --> 00:09:00.160
- Because we know that hamas has been trying to intercept
- 00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:02.730
- A lot of this aid over the past few months.
- 00:09:02.730 --> 00:09:05.065
- This is a problem, and i can't say for sure
- 00:09:05.966 --> 00:09:08.836
- That all of it will get into the right hands.
- 00:09:08.836 --> 00:09:10.571
- But what you do is you try and there is going to be pilfering.
- 00:09:10.571 --> 00:09:13.540
- There may be somebody steal it, there may be hamas
- 00:09:13.540 --> 00:09:15.843
- That comes in and hijacks the truck.
- 00:09:15.843 --> 00:09:18.178
- That happens,
- 00:09:18.178 --> 00:09:19.213
- But that doesn't stop you from trying
- 00:09:19.213 --> 00:09:20.748
- To get as much food in there as you can to as many people
- 00:09:20.748 --> 00:09:23.751
- As you can.
- 00:09:23.751 --> 00:09:24.818
- And so, of course we do all this in jesus name.
- 00:09:24.818 --> 00:09:28.088
- We we pray every day before we start anything here.
- 00:09:28.088 --> 00:09:32.493
- Samaritan's purse, we always meet every morning, 8:00.
- 00:09:32.493 --> 00:09:34.962
- And when we're on the field, we do the same thing.
- 00:09:34.962 --> 00:09:37.831
- We just pray that god would guide and direct our steps.
- 00:09:37.831 --> 00:09:40.367
- We don't want to,
- 00:09:40.367 --> 00:09:41.902
- Be in that part of the world and not have god's protection.
- 00:09:41.902 --> 00:09:45.439
- This is a very dangerous, area of the world. and,
- 00:09:45.439 --> 00:09:49.643
- There's no easy solutions.
- 00:09:50.210 --> 00:09:51.545
- And i just appreciate president trump, and marco
- 00:09:51.545 --> 00:09:54.815
- Rubio and, others that have
- 00:09:54.815 --> 00:09:57.951
- Had steve y call, especially steve,
- 00:09:58.752 --> 00:10:01.455
- These these guys have made this happen.
- 00:10:01.455 --> 00:10:04.525
- And, it's going to take their involvement
- 00:10:04.525 --> 00:10:07.628
- For some time, before we can get to the end of this.
- 00:10:07.628 --> 00:10:11.532
- Yeah. and as you said, reverend graham, hamas has got to go.
- 00:10:11.532 --> 00:10:14.201
- Hey, folks.
- 00:10:14.201 --> 00:10:14.702
- Samaritan's purse.org.
- 00:10:14.702 --> 00:10:16.603
- You can chip in right now.
- 00:10:16.603 --> 00:10:17.938
- Call to action here to help in gaza.
- 00:10:17.938 --> 00:10:20.407
- You're also blessing israel as well.
- 00:10:20.407 --> 00:10:22.876
- Reverend graham, last question.
- 00:10:22.876 --> 00:10:24.211
- What specific needs can our viewers help with?
- 00:10:24.211 --> 00:10:27.915
- Blessing samaritan's purse to get into gaza
- 00:10:27.915 --> 00:10:30.017
- And get into israel as well as we activate everyone.
- 00:10:30.017 --> 00:10:33.020
- The number one thing is prayer.
- 00:10:33.020 --> 00:10:34.388
- We need people to pray.
- 00:10:34.388 --> 00:10:36.290
- I would rather have,
- 00:10:36.290 --> 00:10:37.424
- I'd rather have people's prayer than, than their money.
- 00:10:37.424 --> 00:10:40.728
- We want prayer.
- 00:10:41.095 --> 00:10:42.362
- And, god, god gives us what we need.
- 00:10:42.362 --> 00:10:44.832
- And he always uses god's people to provide that.
- 00:10:44.832 --> 00:10:47.968
- What we're working there in gaza
- 00:10:47.968 --> 00:10:50.771
- Is not with government funding.
- 00:10:50.771 --> 00:10:52.005
- This is all with god's money.
- 00:10:52.005 --> 00:10:53.741
- And so we're not relying on the government or anybody else.
- 00:10:53.741 --> 00:10:56.176
- But what we need is prayer.
- 00:10:56.176 --> 00:10:57.611
- That's the main thing. pray for us.
- 00:10:57.611 --> 00:10:59.279
- We really need that. amen.
- 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:00.981
- Reverend graham, thank you so much for all that you're doing.
- 00:11:00.981 --> 00:11:03.150
- Samaritan's purse folks, again, samaritan's purse.org.
- 00:11:03.150 --> 00:11:06.787
- This is one of the world's hottest hot zones.
- 00:11:06.787 --> 00:11:08.956
- And you can help.
- 00:11:08.956 --> 00:11:10.190
- You can spread the gospel, do
- 00:11:10.190 --> 00:11:11.558
- Great things through samaritan's purse.
- 00:11:11.558 --> 00:11:13.761
- Reverend plank of graham, thank you so much, as always.
- 00:11:13.761 --> 00:11:15.896
- God bless.
- 00:11:15.896 --> 00:11:16.697
- Keep up the great work, reverend.
- 00:11:16.697 --> 00:11:17.464
- We'll see you again soon.
- 00:11:17.464 --> 00:11:18.665
- And coming up after the break, new york city in about eight
- 00:11:18.665 --> 00:11:21.969
- Days, about to elect a communist as mayor.
- 00:11:21.969 --> 00:11:26.240
- What are the implications for america writ large?
- 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.909
- What's happening in europe? how did this impact israel?
- 00:11:28.909 --> 00:11:31.478
- Our good friend josh hammer is with us next.
- 00:11:31.478 --> 00:11:34.715
- Stick around.
- 00:11:34.715 --> 00:11:38.007
- Stick around.
- 00:11:38.007 --> 00:11:40.595
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight,
- 00:11:41.363 --> 00:11:43.165
- He's been sounding the alarm on america's cultural drift.
- 00:11:43.165 --> 00:11:46.535
- Europe's unraveling
- 00:11:46.535 --> 00:11:47.969
- And what it all means for israel and the west.
- 00:11:47.969 --> 00:11:50.705
- Josh hammer is host of the josh hammer show, senior editor
- 00:11:50.705 --> 00:11:54.342
- At large at newsweek, syndicated columnist and author
- 00:11:54.342 --> 00:11:57.345
- Of the great bestseller israel and civilization.
- 00:11:57.345 --> 00:12:00.682
- And he joins us now. josh, always great to see you.
- 00:12:00.682 --> 00:12:03.285
- Hey, we're a little over a week away
- 00:12:03.285 --> 00:12:04.853
- From the very real possibility
- 00:12:04.853 --> 00:12:06.588
- Of zoran mamdani becoming the next mayor of new york city.
- 00:12:06.588 --> 00:12:10.325
- Josh, yesterday at this large rally,
- 00:12:10.325 --> 00:12:12.027
- We had bernie sanders, aoc, but we also heard
- 00:12:12.027 --> 00:12:15.096
- Governor kathy hochul there speaking on his behalf.
- 00:12:15.096 --> 00:12:18.500
- We've seen house minority
- 00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:19.634
- Leader hakeem jeffries also endorse zoran mamdani.
- 00:12:19.634 --> 00:12:23.505
- What is his rise and the support from look, democrat
- 00:12:23.505 --> 00:12:27.209
- Power players?
- 00:12:27.209 --> 00:12:28.343
- Tell us about the
- 00:12:28.343 --> 00:12:29.578
- Democrat coalition right now and where that party's heading.
- 00:12:29.578 --> 00:12:32.581
- Well, eric, it's great to join you as always.
- 00:12:33.448 --> 00:12:35.116
- It says nothing good about where the democratic party is at.
- 00:12:35.116 --> 00:12:37.886
- Says nothing good about where the democratic party is heading.
- 00:12:37.886 --> 00:12:41.289
- I think in many ways, i'm on the is basically barack obama
- 00:12:41.289 --> 00:12:45.126
- To point out he is a slick, younger, glib,
- 00:12:45.126 --> 00:12:49.264
- Vaguely anti-western, anti-american figure
- 00:12:49.264 --> 00:12:52.267
- Who was capturing the hearts and minds of young left
- 00:12:52.267 --> 00:12:55.670
- Wing activists and in this particular case,
- 00:12:55.670 --> 00:12:57.472
- In new york city, of course, for barack obama.
- 00:12:57.472 --> 00:12:59.474
- It was across the country, and it's really horrific.
- 00:12:59.474 --> 00:13:02.978
- You know, eric,
- 00:13:02.978 --> 00:13:03.578
- The democratic party
- 00:13:03.578 --> 00:13:04.846
- Had a choice to make after the 2024 presidential election,
- 00:13:04.846 --> 00:13:08.149
- After kamala harris lost all seven swing states
- 00:13:08.149 --> 00:13:10.952
- To donald trump, donald trump, but effectively split
- 00:13:10.952 --> 00:13:13.755
- The the male hispanic vote 5050,
- 00:13:13.755 --> 00:13:15.991
- He made serious gains in the female spanish vote
- 00:13:15.991 --> 00:13:18.526
- And just black men and women in general there.
- 00:13:18.526 --> 00:13:20.896
- So in many ways, this post-watergate,
- 00:13:20.896 --> 00:13:22.764
- Intersectional woke
- 00:13:22.764 --> 00:13:23.698
- Coalition seem to be crumbling,
- 00:13:23.698 --> 00:13:25.367
- Or mamdani seems to be giving it's new life.
- 00:13:25.367 --> 00:13:27.936
- I think the ramifications for life in new york city, eric,
- 00:13:27.936 --> 00:13:31.006
- Are sadly going to be quite dire.
- 00:13:31.006 --> 00:13:33.008
- Let me get, i think, from everything
- 00:13:33.008 --> 00:13:34.476
- From a business perspective to just a jewish christian, day
- 00:13:34.476 --> 00:13:38.680
- To day synagogue or a church attending perspective.
- 00:13:38.680 --> 00:13:41.082
- There, there's going to be serious ramifications there.
- 00:13:41.082 --> 00:13:43.184
- I mean, is the bold down on wall street
- 00:13:43.184 --> 00:13:44.986
- Going to start migrating southward toward
- 00:13:44.986 --> 00:13:47.322
- Miami, florida, or dallas, texas?
- 00:13:47.322 --> 00:13:49.157
- It seems like it's it's a real possibility there.
- 00:13:49.157 --> 00:13:51.226
- The only check is going to be the new york city council.
- 00:13:51.226 --> 00:13:53.528
- But look, as as a one time new yorker myself, eric,
- 00:13:53.528 --> 00:13:57.032
- Amazingly, we've in many ways for for the state of of my birth
- 00:13:57.032 --> 00:14:00.802
- And we'll,
- 00:14:00.802 --> 00:14:01.369
- We'll see just
- 00:14:01.369 --> 00:14:02.637
- How big the financial and human capital exodus ultimately is.
- 00:14:02.637 --> 00:14:05.307
- Yeah. josh will said, i've said that.
- 00:14:05.307 --> 00:14:06.942
- London, what's happening now?
- 00:14:06.942 --> 00:14:08.043
- Under sadiq khan,
- 00:14:08.043 --> 00:14:09.177
- There could be a cautionary tale for new york city.
- 00:14:09.177 --> 00:14:11.479
- By the way, when it comes to mamdani,
- 00:14:11.479 --> 00:14:12.981
- Where did he get this radical ideology?
- 00:14:12.981 --> 00:14:15.050
- It seems the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree.
- 00:14:15.050 --> 00:14:18.353
- Here's a clip. josh of his father,
- 00:14:18.353 --> 00:14:20.755
- Zoran mamdani, his father. take a look.
- 00:14:20.755 --> 00:14:24.626
- For the nazis.
- 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.463
- This was the inspiration.
- 00:14:26.928 --> 00:14:31.733
- Hitler realized two things.
- 00:14:31.733 --> 00:14:34.235
- One, the genocide was doable.
- 00:14:34.235 --> 00:14:37.806
- It is possible to do genocide.
- 00:14:38.406 --> 00:14:41.509
- That's what hitler realized.
- 00:14:41.509 --> 00:14:44.679
- Second thing hitler realized
- 00:14:45.280 --> 00:14:48.116
- Is that you don't have to have a common citizenship.
- 00:14:48.116 --> 00:14:51.519
- You can differentiate between people.
- 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.356
- The nuremberg laws were patterned after america
- 00:14:54.356 --> 00:14:57.692
- And laws.
- 00:14:57.692 --> 00:14:59.961
- Anyway, the us put indians in reservations.
- 00:14:59.961 --> 00:15:03.298
- The us invented the model.
- 00:15:03.865 --> 00:15:08.770
- Josh,
- 00:15:09.004 --> 00:15:10.238
- This is vicious anti-americanism and historical revisionism.
- 00:15:10.238 --> 00:15:12.841
- Clearly.
- 00:15:12.841 --> 00:15:13.675
- But this is zoran mom, danny's father,
- 00:15:13.675 --> 00:15:15.844
- And this ideology is about to take hold in new york city,
- 00:15:15.844 --> 00:15:19.247
- At least at the highest level of leadership in new york city.
- 00:15:19.247 --> 00:15:22.817
- Well, this had ripple effects nationally.
- 00:15:22.817 --> 00:15:25.387
- Can president trump do anything here?
- 00:15:25.387 --> 00:15:28.623
- I mean, what an appalling clip.
- 00:15:29.257 --> 00:15:30.825
- Just an absolutely appalling clip.
- 00:15:30.825 --> 00:15:32.694
- The nuremberg laws, like literally the 1930s
- 00:15:32.694 --> 00:15:36.097
- Era predecessors to the nazi
- 00:15:36.097 --> 00:15:37.866
- Genocide, were modeled on the united states of america.
- 00:15:37.866 --> 00:15:41.903
- I mean, were they modeled on eric?
- 00:15:41.903 --> 00:15:43.505
- Were they modeled on
- 00:15:43.505 --> 00:15:44.606
- The declaration of independence, which famously says
- 00:15:44.606 --> 00:15:46.908
- That all men are created equal, that they are endowed
- 00:15:46.908 --> 00:15:49.444
- By their creator with certain inalienable, inalienable rights?
- 00:15:49.444 --> 00:15:52.514
- Are they modeled on the 14th amendment
- 00:15:52.514 --> 00:15:54.349
- With with its sweeping
- 00:15:54.349 --> 00:15:55.683
- Provisions for due process and protection?
- 00:15:55.683 --> 00:15:57.919
- Well, i mean, where is he getting this from?
- 00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:59.654
- And frankly, what does it say about our immigration policy
- 00:15:59.654 --> 00:16:02.957
- That we're just welcoming in this son of this radical
- 00:16:02.957 --> 00:16:05.960
- And welcoming him in to ultimately be god
- 00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:08.163
- Forbid, the incoming next mayor of new york city?
- 00:16:08.163 --> 00:16:10.265
- So there's a lot of public policy ramifications for.
- 00:16:10.265 --> 00:16:12.634
- But to your question about the
- 00:16:12.634 --> 00:16:14.335
- The sweeping
- 00:16:14.335 --> 00:16:15.437
- Societal ramifications here in the united states. yes.
- 00:16:15.437 --> 00:16:18.039
- I think that czar mamdani, unfortunately, could be
- 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:21.276
- A precursor of what is to come over
- 00:16:21.276 --> 00:16:23.244
- The next 5 to 10 years of the democratic party
- 00:16:23.244 --> 00:16:25.680
- For for a blip on the radar, eric, for a brief moment
- 00:16:25.680 --> 00:16:28.383
- There, after kamala harris's shellacking last november,
- 00:16:28.383 --> 00:16:31.386
- I actually thought there was a chance
- 00:16:31.386 --> 00:16:32.687
- The democratic party would moderate
- 00:16:32.687 --> 00:16:34.022
- Even someone like gavin newsom, who i'm obviously not a fan of.
- 00:16:34.022 --> 00:16:36.991
- You know, he was kind of joking with
- 00:16:36.991 --> 00:16:38.460
- With the late, great charlie
- 00:16:38.460 --> 00:16:39.561
- Kirk on that podcast earlier this year
- 00:16:39.561 --> 00:16:41.262
- About how they've gone too far on the transgender issue.
- 00:16:41.262 --> 00:16:43.731
- So they had a brief moment
- 00:16:43.731 --> 00:16:45.333
- Where they thought about maybe moderating
- 00:16:45.333 --> 00:16:47.068
- Some of their aggressive left wing
- 00:16:47.068 --> 00:16:48.736
- Culture war, secular nihilist positions.
- 00:16:48.736 --> 00:16:51.139
- It seemed like they throwing all that out the window.
- 00:16:51.139 --> 00:16:53.141
- Doubling down on crazy.
- 00:16:53.141 --> 00:16:54.742
- Perhaps the republican party might actually benefit
- 00:16:54.742 --> 00:16:56.744
- From this politically
- 00:16:56.744 --> 00:16:57.679
- In the mid to near term, but unfortunately,
- 00:16:57.679 --> 00:16:59.814
- The people of new york city are going to suffer quite dearly
- 00:16:59.814 --> 00:17:01.616
- If you're either doubling down or doubling down as well.
- 00:17:01.616 --> 00:17:03.985
- Josh, in that unholy alliance with radical islamists.
- 00:17:03.985 --> 00:17:07.455
- We'll talk more about that
- 00:17:07.455 --> 00:17:08.389
- With josh haim right after the break.
- 00:17:08.389 --> 00:17:09.591
- Also the latest, the gaza cease fire.
- 00:17:09.591 --> 00:17:11.626
- Be sure to follow josh on x and across social media.
- 00:17:11.626 --> 00:17:14.529
- Much more with josh amara after the break. don't move.
- 00:17:14.529 --> 00:17:20.011
- Much more with josh amara after the break. don't move.
- 00:17:20.011 --> 00:17:22.444
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:17:23.211 --> 00:17:24.613
- We're talking to our friend josh hammer,
- 00:17:24.613 --> 00:17:25.914
- Host of the josh hammer show, author of a great book
- 00:17:25.914 --> 00:17:28.116
- Called israel and civilization.
- 00:17:28.116 --> 00:17:29.951
- Folks, pick it up right now, amazon.com.
- 00:17:29.951 --> 00:17:31.853
- Wherever books are sold.
- 00:17:31.853 --> 00:17:33.455
- Josh, you wrote recently about islamists
- 00:17:33.455 --> 00:17:37.192
- Taking advantage of school voucher programs in places
- 00:17:37.192 --> 00:17:41.062
- Like florida and trying to present sharia law in schools.
- 00:17:41.062 --> 00:17:45.267
- Pretty alarming.
- 00:17:45.267 --> 00:17:46.268
- Can you tell us a bit more about that?
- 00:17:46.268 --> 00:17:49.371
- Sure.
- 00:17:49.371 --> 00:17:50.338
- So sharia law, eric, is completely incompatible
- 00:17:50.338 --> 00:17:52.507
- With the united constitution and western civilization.
- 00:17:52.507 --> 00:17:55.243
- Let's just kind of say that and stipulate that at the outset.
- 00:17:55.243 --> 00:17:59.047
- Once upon a time, this, by the way,
- 00:17:59.047 --> 00:18:00.315
- Would not have been particularly controversial.
- 00:18:00.315 --> 00:18:02.617
- You know, in fact,
- 00:18:02.617 --> 00:18:03.885
- If you go back and look at what the founding fathers had to say
- 00:18:03.885 --> 00:18:06.321
- About what they refer to as muhammad is,
- 00:18:06.321 --> 00:18:08.223
- Or maybe it was not necessarily always the, the, the most,
- 00:18:08.223 --> 00:18:11.927
- Shall we say, kind of rose eyed view.
- 00:18:11.927 --> 00:18:14.763
- But sharia law more generally seems to be on the march.
- 00:18:14.763 --> 00:18:17.499
- I mean, i mean, in north texas, of course, they're trying
- 00:18:17.499 --> 00:18:19.467
- To build an entire community here in florida,
- 00:18:19.467 --> 00:18:21.636
- In my state there.
- 00:18:21.636 --> 00:18:22.404
- You do have some care.
- 00:18:22.404 --> 00:18:23.872
- Council on american-islamic relations affiliate activists.
- 00:18:23.872 --> 00:18:27.108
- They're trying to take advantage of florida's
- 00:18:27.108 --> 00:18:29.277
- Very generous school voucher system.
- 00:18:29.277 --> 00:18:31.146
- That's been in effect since jeb bush was governor
- 00:18:31.146 --> 00:18:33.048
- About a quarter century ago.
- 00:18:33.048 --> 00:18:34.349
- They're trying
- 00:18:34.349 --> 00:18:34.983
- To take advantage of that
- 00:18:34.983 --> 00:18:35.951
- And try to find radical education on the road,
- 00:18:35.951 --> 00:18:38.520
- Something that our excellent young,
- 00:18:38.520 --> 00:18:40.255
- Precocious attorney general, james uth
- 00:18:40.255 --> 00:18:42.123
- Meyer, is now looking into the validity
- 00:18:42.123 --> 00:18:43.992
- And the legality of that.
- 00:18:43.992 --> 00:18:45.527
- This is a massive issue there.
- 00:18:45.527 --> 00:18:47.028
- And because
- 00:18:47.028 --> 00:18:48.230
- They're tied to ties back to our previous conversation,
- 00:18:48.230 --> 00:18:49.764
- You're going to have someone
- 00:18:49.764 --> 00:18:50.765
- Potentially coming into the mayoral office
- 00:18:50.765 --> 00:18:52.734
- Or the most important seat in america
- 00:18:52.734 --> 00:18:54.636
- Who has some, shall we say, suspect thoughts on these,
- 00:18:54.636 --> 00:18:57.806
- On these very topics.
- 00:18:57.806 --> 00:18:58.940
- There someone in mamdani who is the singular embodiment
- 00:18:58.940 --> 00:19:01.943
- Of the so-called red green alliance as alliance
- 00:19:01.943 --> 00:19:04.412
- Between radical communist marxist on the one hand
- 00:19:04.412 --> 00:19:07.415
- And islamist on the other hand,
- 00:19:07.415 --> 00:19:08.917
- These two groups that have nothing in common
- 00:19:08.917 --> 00:19:10.685
- Whatsoever other than their seething,
- 00:19:10.685 --> 00:19:12.721
- Foaming at the mouth
- 00:19:12.721 --> 00:19:13.855
- Hatred of our western biblical inheritance and jews
- 00:19:13.855 --> 00:19:16.791
- And christians alike.
- 00:19:16.791 --> 00:19:17.993
- It is something that we should all be deeply concerned about.
- 00:19:17.993 --> 00:19:19.694
- Yeah. and by the way, mamdani has been pressed on sharia law.
- 00:19:19.694 --> 00:19:22.230
- He has refused to condemn it. pretty telling.
- 00:19:22.230 --> 00:19:24.532
- And the hamas support network that has got behind him.
- 00:19:24.532 --> 00:19:27.669
- Josh, speaking of which, i think of gaza right now
- 00:19:27.669 --> 00:19:30.605
- And what's unfolding there.
- 00:19:30.605 --> 00:19:32.007
- What's the latest with the cease fire?
- 00:19:32.007 --> 00:19:33.842
- Josh, it seems that hamas ultimately
- 00:19:33.842 --> 00:19:36.344
- Has to be crushed for anything to really advance there.
- 00:19:36.344 --> 00:19:39.381
- Hamas still refusing to disarm.
- 00:19:39.381 --> 00:19:41.383
- How do you see how we see it?
- 00:19:41.383 --> 00:19:42.517
- How do you see it playing out there right now?
- 00:19:42.517 --> 00:19:45.987
- Yeah.
- 00:19:46.221 --> 00:19:47.389
- Eric, if only someone could have seen this coming, right?
- 00:19:47.389 --> 00:19:48.323
- I mean,
- 00:19:48.323 --> 00:19:49.157
- If only someone could have predicted
- 00:19:49.157 --> 00:19:50.358
- That hamas would not just voluntarily lay down their arms.
- 00:19:50.358 --> 00:19:53.528
- I mean, it's just another stark reminder
- 00:19:53.528 --> 00:19:55.096
- That we're not dealing here with a bunch of rational actors.
- 00:19:55.096 --> 00:19:58.700
- You know, the soviets during the cold war,
- 00:19:58.700 --> 00:20:00.769
- They were a bunch of atheists.
- 00:20:00.769 --> 00:20:02.003
- You could roughly predict
- 00:20:02.003 --> 00:20:03.171
- Their moves in a game theory kind of chessboard thing,
- 00:20:03.171 --> 00:20:05.707
- But with radical, fanatical islamists,
- 00:20:05.707 --> 00:20:08.076
- They're simply not rational actors there.
- 00:20:08.076 --> 00:20:10.011
- So the notion that hamas
- 00:20:10.011 --> 00:20:11.413
- Was ever going to just voluntarily lay down their arms.
- 00:20:11.413 --> 00:20:14.449
- I think was preposterous and ludicrous.
- 00:20:14.449 --> 00:20:15.984
- So right now, it seems like hamas is on
- 00:20:15.984 --> 00:20:17.485
- Something of a trump administration
- 00:20:17.485 --> 00:20:18.987
- Imposed ultimatum, a ticking time bomb sorts.
- 00:20:18.987 --> 00:20:21.990
- Lay down your arms or else dot dot dot.
- 00:20:21.990 --> 00:20:24.993
- I think, eric, we're going to find out sooner
- 00:20:24.993 --> 00:20:26.728
- Rather than later what that dot dot dot entails.
- 00:20:26.728 --> 00:20:29.364
- Does the united states, does israel do the western powers
- 00:20:29.364 --> 00:20:32.200
- And generally have what it takes to really actually force hamas
- 00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:35.337
- To really do this once and for all, or else the bombs
- 00:20:35.337 --> 00:20:38.540
- Will start dropping yet again?
- 00:20:38.540 --> 00:20:40.041
- It's not a great situation, eric,
- 00:20:40.041 --> 00:20:41.443
- But unfortunately, it's all too predictable
- 00:20:41.443 --> 00:20:43.044
- When you're dealing with these fundamental jihadis.
- 00:20:43.044 --> 00:20:45.380
- The good thing for israel is that the hostages are home.
- 00:20:45.380 --> 00:20:47.749
- You know, eric,
- 00:20:47.749 --> 00:20:48.950
- I, like you, have a lot of ties to to the israeli people.
- 00:20:48.950 --> 00:20:52.053
- They are just so happy to have their hostages home
- 00:20:52.053 --> 00:20:54.155
- And they are still kind of riding that cloud nine there.
- 00:20:54.155 --> 00:20:56.524
- But when it comes to hamas, there's a lot of question marks.
- 00:20:56.524 --> 00:20:58.760
- Do remains, put it mildly,
- 00:20:58.760 --> 00:20:59.961
- No doubt that harsh reality still lies ahead with hamas.
- 00:20:59.961 --> 00:21:02.330
- Just great point.
- 00:21:02.330 --> 00:21:03.231
- And about a minute left
- 00:21:03.231 --> 00:21:04.799
- The abraham accords very much back on the table.
- 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:07.135
- Now it seems mohammed bin
- 00:21:07.135 --> 00:21:08.470
- Salman, the saudi crown prince, visiting dc very soon.
- 00:21:08.470 --> 00:21:12.574
- About a minute left.
- 00:21:12.574 --> 00:21:13.641
- Josh, what do you see coming in the near future,
- 00:21:13.641 --> 00:21:16.277
- Perhaps with the abraham accords, saudi arabia,
- 00:21:16.277 --> 00:21:18.380
- We've even heard syria, lebanon, perhaps on the table.
- 00:21:18.380 --> 00:21:21.416
- Saudi arabia is the big kahuna, erica, that, that that
- 00:21:22.450 --> 00:21:25.353
- That would be the grand abraham accords prize.
- 00:21:25.353 --> 00:21:27.555
- Frankly, the first trump administration
- 00:21:27.555 --> 00:21:29.124
- Was very, very close to getting it.
- 00:21:29.124 --> 00:21:30.759
- As a friend from the white house told me the first time
- 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:32.694
- They were based on the five yard line.
- 00:21:32.694 --> 00:21:34.229
- Back then, i thought that president trump
- 00:21:34.229 --> 00:21:36.197
- Could have pushed a little harder on this front.
- 00:21:36.197 --> 00:21:38.099
- In his big speech
- 00:21:38.099 --> 00:21:39.234
- In riyadh, saudi arabia, earlier this year, back in may.
- 00:21:39.234 --> 00:21:42.103
- The big question is,
- 00:21:42.103 --> 00:21:43.271
- Will the netanyahu
- 00:21:43.271 --> 00:21:44.139
- Government compromise on the creation
- 00:21:44.139 --> 00:21:46.241
- Of a so-called palestinian state?
- 00:21:46.241 --> 00:21:48.009
- Eric, i say if that's the cause for getting the saudis
- 00:21:48.009 --> 00:21:50.412
- In, then it's a then it's a nonstarter.
- 00:21:50.412 --> 00:21:51.980
- It's a no deal there.
- 00:21:51.980 --> 00:21:53.214
- But anything short of that may, you know, perhaps is a deal.
- 00:21:53.214 --> 00:21:56.084
- Yeah. josh agreed.
- 00:21:56.084 --> 00:21:57.218
- And we'll see what happens with annexation.
- 00:21:57.218 --> 00:21:58.720
- Judea, samaria, a lot going on.
- 00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:00.422
- Josh, we're glad we have you here
- 00:22:00.422 --> 00:22:01.523
- With us to break it down, my friend.
- 00:22:01.523 --> 00:22:03.158
- Folks, the book is called israel and civilization.
- 00:22:03.158 --> 00:22:05.693
- Pick it up. it is a great one.
- 00:22:05.693 --> 00:22:07.195
- So timely. check out the josh on the show.
- 00:22:07.195 --> 00:22:09.497
- Follow josh on x across social media.
- 00:22:09.497 --> 00:22:11.499
- Josh great job as always my friend. god bless.
- 00:22:11.499 --> 00:22:13.601
- We will see you again soon.
- 00:22:13.601 --> 00:22:14.903
- Coming up, my final thoughts
- 00:22:14.903 --> 00:22:16.671
- On this civilizational struggle that we are locked in.
- 00:22:16.671 --> 00:22:20.175
- Stick around.
- 00:22:20.542 --> 00:22:24.014
- Stick around.
- 00:22:24.014 --> 00:22:26.647
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
- 00:22:27.548 --> 00:22:29.216
- As we wrap up here,
- 00:22:29.216 --> 00:22:30.484
- We've been talking about this unholy alliance of communism,
- 00:22:30.484 --> 00:22:33.954
- Radical marxist and radical islamist.
- 00:22:33.954 --> 00:22:37.057
- It seems unlikely on the surface, but
- 00:22:37.057 --> 00:22:40.127
- Think about the gospel of john, chapter ten, verse ten.
- 00:22:40.127 --> 00:22:42.563
- Jesus says, the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
- 00:22:42.563 --> 00:22:47.568
- I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.
- 00:22:47.568 --> 00:22:51.972
- So really no surprise that these godless ideologies
- 00:22:51.972 --> 00:22:55.342
- Come together in these perilous bible times we're living in.
- 00:22:55.342 --> 00:22:58.445
- But jesus just laid out the answer.
- 00:22:58.445 --> 00:23:00.481
- He has come so we can have life.
- 00:23:00.481 --> 00:23:02.783
- Have it to the fullest.
- 00:23:02.783 --> 00:23:04.184
- Follow the lord.
- 00:23:04.184 --> 00:23:05.652
- Shine light in the darkness in these times.
- 00:23:05.652 --> 00:23:08.589
- Hey, someone is doing exactly that.
- 00:23:08.589 --> 00:23:10.491
- Joins us tomorrow night. victor marx is here.
- 00:23:10.491 --> 00:23:12.926
- He's running for governor of colorado.
- 00:23:12.926 --> 00:23:14.728
- He's saved
- 00:23:14.728 --> 00:23:15.829
- Thousands of kids from trafficking around the world.
- 00:23:15.829 --> 00:23:17.764
- He's an amazing man.
- 00:23:17.764 --> 00:23:19.132
- You'll hear his story tomorrow night.
- 00:23:19.132 --> 00:23:20.801
- Until then, god bless you and we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:20.801 --> 00:23:20.801
