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: September 9, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | September 9, 2025
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:17.273 --> 00:00:18.842
- I'm erick stakelbeck,
- 00:00:18.842 --> 00:00:19.876
- And we're cutting through the noise tonight on
- 00:00:19.876 --> 00:00:22.011
- Some of the biggest issues shaping our world
- 00:00:22.011 --> 00:00:24.581
- And our nation.
- 00:00:24.581 --> 00:00:26.149
- From britain's alarming crackdown on free speech
- 00:00:26.149 --> 00:00:29.686
- To china propping up russia while using american technology
- 00:00:29.686 --> 00:00:34.157
- To fuel china's military rise to the existential threat
- 00:00:34.157 --> 00:00:38.128
- Radical islam poses not just to israel, but to the west itself.
- 00:00:38.128 --> 00:00:43.099
- The forces at work are more interconnected
- 00:00:43.099 --> 00:00:45.902
- And more dangerous than most people realize.
- 00:00:45.902 --> 00:00:49.172
- So how are our western leaders responding?
- 00:00:49.172 --> 00:00:51.841
- Are we learning
- 00:00:51.841 --> 00:00:52.909
- The right lessons or repeating the same mistakes?
- 00:00:52.909 --> 00:00:56.913
- Rod martin has been tracking
- 00:00:56.913 --> 00:00:58.248
- All of these global flashpoints and connecting the dots
- 00:00:58.248 --> 00:01:01.751
- For policymakers and the public alike.
- 00:01:01.751 --> 00:01:04.287
- Rod is ceo of martin capital and host of the rod
- 00:01:04.287 --> 00:01:07.490
- Martin report, where he dissects global politics, u.s.
- 00:01:07.490 --> 00:01:10.994
- Foreign policy, and the cultural
- 00:01:10.994 --> 00:01:13.096
- And security issues shaping the west.
- 00:01:13.096 --> 00:01:15.665
- He is also a must follow on x rod.
- 00:01:15.665 --> 00:01:18.935
- Always great to see you.
- 00:01:18.935 --> 00:01:20.703
- Hey, when i think of the disaster
- 00:01:20.703 --> 00:01:22.539
- We averted with the election
- 00:01:22.539 --> 00:01:24.107
- Of president trump last november,
- 00:01:24.107 --> 00:01:25.742
- What could have been under a harris walsh regime?
- 00:01:25.742 --> 00:01:29.946
- I think of what we're seeing unfolding in great britain right
- 00:01:29.946 --> 00:01:32.682
- Now, rod, where a judge just wished an al qaeda terrorist
- 00:01:32.682 --> 00:01:37.487
- Who masterminded the july 7th, 2005
- 00:01:37.487 --> 00:01:41.191
- London subway bombings in which 52 people were killed.
- 00:01:41.191 --> 00:01:45.361
- The british judge released him
- 00:01:45.361 --> 00:01:46.729
- Back into the public and wished him all the best.
- 00:01:46.729 --> 00:01:50.466
- Is that kind of a microcosm of the state of things,
- 00:01:50.466 --> 00:01:53.836
- The sorry state of things, and one of the great bastions
- 00:01:53.836 --> 00:01:56.940
- And beacons,
- 00:01:56.940 --> 00:01:58.074
- Or used to be of western civilization, great britain?
- 00:01:58.074 --> 00:02:02.011
- Well, you're exactly right to connect it to two harris
- 00:02:02.011 --> 00:02:05.748
- And and to the biden regime, for that matter.
- 00:02:05.748 --> 00:02:08.818
- This is not about britain
- 00:02:08.818 --> 00:02:11.821
- Or america or the anglosphere or the west.
- 00:02:11.821 --> 00:02:15.091
- This is about socialism.
- 00:02:15.091 --> 00:02:17.927
- Socialism defies the state.
- 00:02:17.927 --> 00:02:21.164
- Socialism makes it the source of all blessings and curses,
- 00:02:21.164 --> 00:02:25.101
- But it also makes it the source of all truth.
- 00:02:25.101 --> 00:02:28.137
- And you see that at the end of orwell's exposition on this,
- 00:02:28.137 --> 00:02:32.075
- That, you know, masquerading as the novel 1984,
- 00:02:32.075 --> 00:02:36.312
- In which when they're trying to break winston
- 00:02:36.312 --> 00:02:39.482
- At the end of the time,
- 00:02:39.482 --> 00:02:41.384
- You know, o'brien has been trying
- 00:02:41.384 --> 00:02:43.052
- To get him to say two plus two equals
- 00:02:43.052 --> 00:02:44.821
- Five, two plus two equals five.
- 00:02:44.821 --> 00:02:46.522
- Winston just won't do it.
- 00:02:46.522 --> 00:02:47.890
- And at the end of that process, o'brien finally just says two
- 00:02:47.890 --> 00:02:51.594
- Plus two equals whatever the party tells you.
- 00:02:51.594 --> 00:02:54.864
- And that's what we're dealing with here.
- 00:02:54.864 --> 00:02:56.933
- That's why the minute
- 00:02:56.933 --> 00:02:58.167
- The socialists came into power in great britain,
- 00:02:58.167 --> 00:03:00.903
- They immediately started arresting people
- 00:03:00.903 --> 00:03:03.706
- For posting means great britain is now arresting 30
- 00:03:03.706 --> 00:03:07.810
- Citizens a day for posting opinions online.
- 00:03:07.810 --> 00:03:12.915
- There was one today where the guy was arrested
- 00:03:12.915 --> 00:03:16.686
- Because he made a social media user,
- 00:03:16.686 --> 00:03:19.922
- And i'm quoting the police, anxious.
- 00:03:19.922 --> 00:03:23.359
- I mean, i don't post anything that isn't
- 00:03:23.359 --> 00:03:26.029
- Intended to make people feel anxious, for heaven's sake.
- 00:03:26.029 --> 00:03:29.599
- I mean, it's just daylight and dark
- 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.834
- From the first amendment, but socialism must do this
- 00:03:31.834 --> 00:03:36.506
- Because it believes that it alone
- 00:03:36.506 --> 00:03:39.876
- Has the answers that you really don't have a say
- 00:03:39.876 --> 00:03:43.579
- And that they're technocracy, they're they're elite.
- 00:03:43.579 --> 00:03:46.783
- They're effectively aristocracy has the absolute right
- 00:03:46.783 --> 00:03:51.020
- Not only to determine right and wrong,
- 00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:53.256
- But to determine reality,
- 00:03:53.256 --> 00:03:55.825
- Which you see with the transgender movement
- 00:03:55.825 --> 00:03:57.894
- And everything they do.
- 00:03:57.894 --> 00:03:59.162
- So yes,
- 00:03:59.162 --> 00:04:00.263
- This is exactly what
- 00:04:00.263 --> 00:04:01.497
- We should have expected from a socialist win in great britain.
- 00:04:01.497 --> 00:04:04.867
- And it's exactly what we got.
- 00:04:04.867 --> 00:04:06.636
- And if harris had won this election, we already saw
- 00:04:06.636 --> 00:04:10.807
- What joe biden
- 00:04:10.807 --> 00:04:11.874
- Was doing to suppress any dissent in this country.
- 00:04:11.874 --> 00:04:16.112
- It would have gone on steroids if kamala had won.
- 00:04:16.112 --> 00:04:19.749
- Yeah.
- 00:04:19.749 --> 00:04:20.383
- And more and more evidence
- 00:04:20.383 --> 00:04:21.484
- That biden and his administration
- 00:04:21.484 --> 00:04:23.019
- Were intentionally targeting christians in particular.
- 00:04:23.019 --> 00:04:26.556
- Hey, you mentioned transgenderism.
- 00:04:26.556 --> 00:04:28.157
- A british comedian recently stepped off a plane
- 00:04:28.157 --> 00:04:31.327
- And was accosted by four armed police officers over tweets
- 00:04:31.327 --> 00:04:35.732
- He had made criticizing transgenderism really his sorry
- 00:04:35.732 --> 00:04:39.001
- State of affairs in great britain, to say the least.
- 00:04:39.001 --> 00:04:41.771
- What's the shelf life of this regime there?
- 00:04:41.771 --> 00:04:44.006
- Rod, look, keir starmer, a very weak, a craven leader.
- 00:04:44.006 --> 00:04:48.244
- Do you get any sense?
- 00:04:48.244 --> 00:04:49.445
- I know
- 00:04:49.445 --> 00:04:50.680
- There's a big rally coming up this saturday, september 13th.
- 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.782
- A basically a pro
- 00:04:52.782 --> 00:04:54.717
- England pro britain pro sanity rally in london.
- 00:04:54.717 --> 00:04:58.621
- Do you get the sense
- 00:04:58.621 --> 00:04:59.722
- That the people of the uk are getting fed up?
- 00:04:59.722 --> 00:05:01.891
- We could see a turnaround there. could this even
- 00:05:01.891 --> 00:05:05.027
- Be leading
- 00:05:05.328 --> 00:05:06.396
- Towards some more hostile actions in the streets?
- 00:05:06.396 --> 00:05:09.265
- I mean, we have a radical islamic
- 00:05:09.265 --> 00:05:10.700
- Population exploding there, no pun intended.
- 00:05:10.700 --> 00:05:13.269
- We have people getting fed up.
- 00:05:13.269 --> 00:05:15.238
- Where do you see this all heading?
- 00:05:15.238 --> 00:05:16.472
- Perhaps in great britain.
- 00:05:16.472 --> 00:05:18.775
- Well, i think it's it's,
- 00:05:18.775 --> 00:05:20.676
- Unfortunate for the british
- 00:05:20.676 --> 00:05:23.312
- That they don't have to have an election until 2029.
- 00:05:23.312 --> 00:05:27.884
- It is it is necessary
- 00:05:27.884 --> 00:05:30.486
- That this regime be removed from power.
- 00:05:30.486 --> 00:05:33.656
- The king needs to step in and dissolve parliament.
- 00:05:33.656 --> 00:05:36.726
- But he's not going to do that.
- 00:05:36.726 --> 00:05:38.094
- Most likely because his
- 00:05:38.094 --> 00:05:40.430
- His affinity is for the left and always has been.
- 00:05:40.430 --> 00:05:43.766
- I am a former officer of the conservative party in the uk.
- 00:05:43.766 --> 00:05:48.204
- I was the political officer
- 00:05:48.204 --> 00:05:49.772
- Of the cambridge university conservative association
- 00:05:49.772 --> 00:05:52.542
- When i was over there, and i and i love
- 00:05:52.542 --> 00:05:55.378
- The oldest party in the world, but in power
- 00:05:55.378 --> 00:05:59.182
- They governed exactly as their opponents are now.
- 00:05:59.182 --> 00:06:03.619
- And so, you know, what's the difference
- 00:06:03.619 --> 00:06:05.855
- If there's really not any
- 00:06:05.855 --> 00:06:07.323
- Difference practically between the tories and labor, then
- 00:06:07.323 --> 00:06:11.060
- You got to have another option.
- 00:06:11.060 --> 00:06:12.495
- And that's exactly what's happening.
- 00:06:12.495 --> 00:06:13.963
- It wouldn't work in the united states the same way,
- 00:06:13.963 --> 00:06:16.799
- Because we have a two party system
- 00:06:16.799 --> 00:06:18.601
- That is much, much more enshrined in the law
- 00:06:18.601 --> 00:06:21.137
- Than most people understand.
- 00:06:21.137 --> 00:06:23.072
- But in great britain,
- 00:06:23.072 --> 00:06:25.041
- Another party is a very real and powerful possibility.
- 00:06:25.041 --> 00:06:29.612
- And nigel farage is leading that with reform uk.
- 00:06:29.612 --> 00:06:33.382
- I suspect if we had an election any time soon, nigel
- 00:06:33.382 --> 00:06:38.621
- Would have an overwhelming majority
- 00:06:38.621 --> 00:06:40.356
- In the new house of commons and all of this would stop.
- 00:06:40.356 --> 00:06:43.926
- Wow. incredible.
- 00:06:43.926 --> 00:06:45.194
- Keeping a close eye on france for sure.
- 00:06:45.194 --> 00:06:46.796
- About a minute left from them.
- 00:06:46.796 --> 00:06:47.897
- We'll bring you right back outside of nigel farage.
- 00:06:47.897 --> 00:06:51.133
- Any hope for great britain? i guess there's always hope.
- 00:06:51.133 --> 00:06:53.669
- But it seems like the door is closing here.
- 00:06:53.669 --> 00:06:56.639
- As that muslim population grows
- 00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.474
- And the left continues to entrench itself.
- 00:06:58.474 --> 00:07:01.177
- The british are a very polite
- 00:07:01.811 --> 00:07:04.547
- And reserved people, but you can't push them too far.
- 00:07:04.547 --> 00:07:08.651
- And people
- 00:07:08.651 --> 00:07:09.852
- All over the world for centuries have learned that lesson.
- 00:07:09.852 --> 00:07:13.389
- This is going to get out of hand if something doesn't give.
- 00:07:13.389 --> 00:07:16.893
- And the protests you mentioned are only going to intensify.
- 00:07:16.893 --> 00:07:20.997
- There is very likely to be violence. and
- 00:07:20.997 --> 00:07:23.633
- And that needs to be avoided, but it can't be avoided.
- 00:07:23.633 --> 00:07:27.436
- When you have muslim.
- 00:07:27.436 --> 00:07:28.471
- Right, right.
- 00:07:28.471 --> 00:07:29.305
- Gangs
- 00:07:29.305 --> 00:07:30.139
- Marauding across
- 00:07:30.139 --> 00:07:31.440
- Britain and a government that won't do anything to stop it.
- 00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:34.977
- Yeah.
- 00:07:35.211 --> 00:07:36.245
- And will actually imprison the people criticizing
- 00:07:36.245 --> 00:07:38.614
- Those same rape gangs.
- 00:07:38.614 --> 00:07:39.882
- It's a world turned upside down right now.
- 00:07:39.882 --> 00:07:41.584
- But rod, we're so glad
- 00:07:41.584 --> 00:07:42.985
- We have you here with us to make sense of it.
- 00:07:42.985 --> 00:07:44.754
- Coming up, more with rod martin.
- 00:07:44.754 --> 00:07:46.188
- Russia.
- 00:07:46.188 --> 00:07:47.256
- China working together against american interests.
- 00:07:47.256 --> 00:07:50.159
- You█ll want to hear this. more with rod martin
- 00:07:50.159 --> 00:07:51.961
- After the break. stick around.
- 00:07:51.961 --> 00:07:58.002
- After the break. stick around.
- 00:07:58.002 --> 00:08:00.837
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight we're talking to rod
- 00:08:01.939 --> 00:08:04.241
- Martin, ceo of martin capital, host of the rod martin report.
- 00:08:04.241 --> 00:08:07.411
- Folks, be sure to follow rod on x for great updates.
- 00:08:07.411 --> 00:08:10.647
- Every single day on everything happening in the world
- 00:08:10.647 --> 00:08:13.283
- And how it affects you.
- 00:08:13.283 --> 00:08:14.451
- Speaking of which, rod russia.
- 00:08:14.451 --> 00:08:16.553
- It seems that russian economy is showing strain right now.
- 00:08:16.553 --> 00:08:19.756
- President trump's pressure is working.
- 00:08:19.756 --> 00:08:22.192
- You've described it as a potemkin economy.
- 00:08:22.192 --> 00:08:25.295
- Tell us what that means and why vladimir putin's regime
- 00:08:25.295 --> 00:08:28.098
- Could be in some trouble right now.
- 00:08:28.098 --> 00:08:29.433
- Again, economically.
- 00:08:29.433 --> 00:08:31.835
- Well, we already learned that they have a potemkin military.
- 00:08:31.835 --> 00:08:34.838
- And and that's just plain as day.
- 00:08:34.838 --> 00:08:37.174
- The people who want to deny that are just ignoring reality.
- 00:08:37.174 --> 00:08:41.078
- Russia was supposed to take kiev in about three days
- 00:08:41.078 --> 00:08:44.748
- A week at the outside.
- 00:08:44.748 --> 00:08:46.550
- Here we are, three and a half years later,
- 00:08:46.550 --> 00:08:48.552
- And they are further from kiev than they were.
- 00:08:48.552 --> 00:08:51.855
- The rate of attrition is just awful, and that feeds
- 00:08:51.855 --> 00:08:55.125
- Back into the economy.
- 00:08:55.125 --> 00:08:56.827
- Putin needs 10 billion in hold hard cash
- 00:08:56.827 --> 00:09:00.397
- Per month to be able to keep this war machine fighting.
- 00:09:00.397 --> 00:09:04.101
- And that's that's assuming that you have warm bodies to go
- 00:09:04.101 --> 00:09:07.838
- Do that fighting.
- 00:09:07.838 --> 00:09:09.272
- They don't have the money,
- 00:09:09.272 --> 00:09:11.742
- And they've been able to sustain it so far
- 00:09:11.742 --> 00:09:15.012
- Through a predatory relationship with china.
- 00:09:15.012 --> 00:09:18.715
- The predator being china.
- 00:09:19.282 --> 00:09:21.385
- China is forcing them, to to sell their energy
- 00:09:21.385 --> 00:09:26.523
- To them at a steep, steep discount to market price.
- 00:09:26.523 --> 00:09:31.061
- If china was serious about helping russia,
- 00:09:31.061 --> 00:09:33.530
- They certainly would not do that.
- 00:09:33.530 --> 00:09:35.666
- India won't
- 00:09:35.666 --> 00:09:36.833
- Buy it from them on any on any better terms for russia.
- 00:09:36.833 --> 00:09:40.671
- So that's keeping putin alive.
- 00:09:40.671 --> 00:09:43.407
- But it's it's predatory beyond words.
- 00:09:43.407 --> 00:09:47.110
- And china is increasingly encroaching on siberia and other
- 00:09:47.110 --> 00:09:50.947
- Parts, the russian far east and and so forth.
- 00:09:50.947 --> 00:09:54.718
- They would carve russia up tomorrow if they could.
- 00:09:54.718 --> 00:09:58.822
- So bring in trump.
- 00:09:58.822 --> 00:10:01.091
- All of a sudden, we're talking about
- 00:10:01.091 --> 00:10:03.260
- Significantly greater military pressure,
- 00:10:03.260 --> 00:10:06.296
- For ukraine,
- 00:10:06.630 --> 00:10:08.098
- These new iran missiles that that we're shipping
- 00:10:08.098 --> 00:10:11.001
- Over there imminently are a really big deal.
- 00:10:11.001 --> 00:10:14.137
- Gives ukraine a tremendous long range strike
- 00:10:14.137 --> 00:10:17.140
- Capability that's very cheap and very effective.
- 00:10:17.140 --> 00:10:20.177
- But also these secondary sanctions, where we start
- 00:10:20.177 --> 00:10:23.714
- Going after the countries that are putin's customers.
- 00:10:23.714 --> 00:10:27.451
- If you make it very hard for them to buy the oil,
- 00:10:27.451 --> 00:10:30.787
- You shut off the tap on putin's war machine
- 00:10:30.787 --> 00:10:34.391
- Because he simply can't pay for it.
- 00:10:34.391 --> 00:10:36.393
- And trump's trump's pressure is working.
- 00:10:36.393 --> 00:10:40.397
- Despite another potemkin event,
- 00:10:40.397 --> 00:10:43.700
- The military parade in beijing, which is is all for show.
- 00:10:43.700 --> 00:10:48.638
- And it might work on an obama or a biden or even a bush,
- 00:10:48.638 --> 00:10:52.642
- But it isn't working on donald trump.
- 00:10:52.642 --> 00:10:54.711
- Yeah, it seems he's american.
- 00:10:54.711 --> 00:10:56.012
- Adversaries are pooling their resources.
- 00:10:56.012 --> 00:10:58.148
- Rod, we saw last week
- 00:10:58.148 --> 00:10:59.316
- The shanghai cooperation organization in china, including
- 00:10:59.316 --> 00:11:03.086
- China, russia, iran, turkey.
- 00:11:03.086 --> 00:11:06.156
- How concerned
- 00:11:06.156 --> 00:11:07.257
- Should we be about that gathering, its ramifications
- 00:11:07.257 --> 00:11:10.193
- And the chess pieces moving where, again,
- 00:11:10.193 --> 00:11:12.696
- These american adversaries
- 00:11:12.696 --> 00:11:14.131
- Are kind of gathering together to oppose president trump.
- 00:11:14.131 --> 00:11:16.933
- We should be aware, but we should not be overly concerned.
- 00:11:18.068 --> 00:11:21.138
- I mean, what are they going to do?
- 00:11:21.138 --> 00:11:23.406
- The truth of the matter is, you know, for all this talk of
- 00:11:23.406 --> 00:11:26.943
- Of their alliance to the end with iran,
- 00:11:26.943 --> 00:11:31.214
- Russia and china have completely refused to sell
- 00:11:31.214 --> 00:11:34.618
- Iran modern fighter planes all these decades.
- 00:11:34.618 --> 00:11:39.055
- They're still.
- 00:11:39.055 --> 00:11:40.090
- Well,
- 00:11:40.090 --> 00:11:41.024
- I was going to say they're still flying,
- 00:11:41.024 --> 00:11:42.259
- But actually, the israelis took care of that problem for us.
- 00:11:42.259 --> 00:11:45.061
- They were flying f-14 means that we sold them in the 70s.
- 00:11:45.061 --> 00:11:50.233
- That's their most advanced fighters.
- 00:11:50.233 --> 00:11:52.435
- They're their mainstay, our fighters that were state
- 00:11:52.435 --> 00:11:55.338
- Of the art in 1960.
- 00:11:55.338 --> 00:11:57.107
- Now our 65.
- 00:11:57.107 --> 00:11:58.475
- Now, that being the case,
- 00:11:58.475 --> 00:12:00.811
- How serious is this alliance with china?
- 00:12:00.811 --> 00:12:03.680
- And that's how china treats its allies in general.
- 00:12:03.680 --> 00:12:06.950
- They're not your friend
- 00:12:06.950 --> 00:12:08.385
- And nobody is dumb enough to think they're your friend.
- 00:12:08.385 --> 00:12:11.955
- So modi goes to beijing.
- 00:12:11.955 --> 00:12:14.491
- You know, he's
- 00:12:14.491 --> 00:12:15.492
- He's making a show because he's mad at trump
- 00:12:15.492 --> 00:12:17.594
- Because of the secondary tariffs.
- 00:12:17.594 --> 00:12:19.262
- I get it.
- 00:12:19.262 --> 00:12:20.463
- I mean, he'd probably be less mad if we'd hit china too.
- 00:12:20.463 --> 00:12:23.366
- But the china negotiations are at a at a really crucial point.
- 00:12:23.366 --> 00:12:26.970
- And trump didn't want to attack that immediately.
- 00:12:26.970 --> 00:12:30.574
- Nevertheless, modi's there.
- 00:12:30.574 --> 00:12:32.175
- But modi's
- 00:12:32.175 --> 00:12:33.310
- Not going to take india into a real alliance with china.
- 00:12:33.310 --> 00:12:36.913
- China invades in the us periodically.
- 00:12:36.913 --> 00:12:39.749
- They're they're existential threats to india.
- 00:12:39.749 --> 00:12:43.353
- And likewise, putin knows that that xi is his enemy.
- 00:12:43.353 --> 00:12:47.958
- There's there's no getting around it.
- 00:12:47.958 --> 00:12:49.860
- So i don't think we need to be overly concerned about this.
- 00:12:49.860 --> 00:12:52.696
- And no, i don't think we're driving them together.
- 00:12:52.696 --> 00:12:55.065
- I think what's really happening is we're putting enough carrot
- 00:12:55.065 --> 00:12:58.668
- And stick pressure on putin that at some point it breaks
- 00:12:58.668 --> 00:13:02.839
- And we actually get to a peace deal.
- 00:13:02.839 --> 00:13:04.641
- Yeah. rod, great break down.
- 00:13:04.641 --> 00:13:06.209
- Hey u.s.
- 00:13:06.209 --> 00:13:07.444
- Companies, speaking of china like apple, google and microsoft
- 00:13:07.444 --> 00:13:10.947
- Are accused of helping build china's surveillance state
- 00:13:10.947 --> 00:13:14.751
- And military tech.
- 00:13:14.751 --> 00:13:16.253
- How significant is this threat to u.s.
- 00:13:16.253 --> 00:13:18.822
- National security?
- 00:13:18.822 --> 00:13:19.589
- Some of our biggest companies
- 00:13:19.589 --> 00:13:20.757
- Working with the communist chinese.
- 00:13:20.757 --> 00:13:22.792
- It's highly significant.
- 00:13:23.326 --> 00:13:24.761
- And my old friend peter
- 00:13:24.761 --> 00:13:25.962
- Teel has talked about this off and on for years.
- 00:13:25.962 --> 00:13:28.965
- You know, a lot of american technology
- 00:13:28.965 --> 00:13:31.835
- Companies are completely in bed with china.
- 00:13:31.835 --> 00:13:34.271
- And part of that is the attitude that prevailed in this country
- 00:13:34.271 --> 00:13:38.608
- Until about halfway through
- 00:13:38.608 --> 00:13:41.444
- Trump's first term, that china is not our enemy.
- 00:13:41.444 --> 00:13:44.781
- They don't want to hurt us. we're friends. this is great.
- 00:13:44.781 --> 00:13:47.684
- They're growing.
- 00:13:47.684 --> 00:13:48.652
- We're going to make all this money in china.
- 00:13:48.652 --> 00:13:50.420
- Well, turns out consumer spending in china
- 00:13:50.420 --> 00:13:54.057
- Per capita is about half of what
- 00:13:54.057 --> 00:13:56.092
- It is in the rest of the industrialized world.
- 00:13:56.092 --> 00:13:58.428
- So, yes, there's money to be made, but not like they thought.
- 00:13:58.428 --> 00:14:02.098
- And moreover, china is our enemy,
- 00:14:02.098 --> 00:14:04.935
- And they've been very clear about it.
- 00:14:04.935 --> 00:14:06.503
- And they're clear about it all day, every day.
- 00:14:06.503 --> 00:14:08.571
- This is a country
- 00:14:08.571 --> 00:14:09.773
- That actually threatens to nuke loss angeles periodically.
- 00:14:09.773 --> 00:14:13.143
- This is a country that is developing
- 00:14:13.143 --> 00:14:15.412
- An enormous new nuclear arsenal to destabilize
- 00:14:15.412 --> 00:14:19.282
- The existing balance of power that that makes mutual
- 00:14:19.282 --> 00:14:23.320
- Assured destruction work.
- 00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:24.621
- And it's one of the reasons that trump is so serious
- 00:14:24.621 --> 00:14:27.123
- About deploying golden dome quickly.
- 00:14:27.123 --> 00:14:29.459
- These are not our friends.
- 00:14:29.459 --> 00:14:30.860
- So why is microsoft building their surveillance state?
- 00:14:30.860 --> 00:14:34.331
- Why is google up to its eyeballs in that?
- 00:14:34.331 --> 00:14:37.100
- That has to be called out.
- 00:14:37.100 --> 00:14:38.868
- And this administration is calling it out.
- 00:14:38.868 --> 00:14:40.971
- Yeah. amazing.
- 00:14:40.971 --> 00:14:42.105
- We live in amazing times.
- 00:14:42.105 --> 00:14:43.306
- Perilous times, but amazing times.
- 00:14:43.306 --> 00:14:45.041
- No doubt.
- 00:14:45.041 --> 00:14:45.976
- Foul rod folks on x across social media.
- 00:14:45.976 --> 00:14:48.178
- We're talking about the trump doctrine abroad.
- 00:14:48.178 --> 00:14:50.513
- What about the trump doctrine here at home?
- 00:14:50.513 --> 00:14:52.949
- The return of law and order.
- 00:14:52.949 --> 00:14:55.151
- Imagine that.
- 00:14:55.151 --> 00:14:56.219
- More with rod martin after the break. don't move.
- 00:14:56.219 --> 00:15:02.009
- More with rod martin after the break. don't move.
- 00:15:02.009 --> 00:15:04.138
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight we're talking to rod
- 00:15:05.239 --> 00:15:07.375
- Martin, ceo of martin capital, host of the rod martin report.
- 00:15:07.375 --> 00:15:10.378
- Be sure to follow him on x folks.
- 00:15:10.378 --> 00:15:11.812
- He is a must follow on that platform.
- 00:15:11.812 --> 00:15:14.115
- Rod, you have compared president trump's
- 00:15:14.115 --> 00:15:17.685
- Talk of deploying the national guard to crime
- 00:15:17.685 --> 00:15:20.187
- Ridden cities like chicago
- 00:15:20.187 --> 00:15:21.989
- To little rock and president eisenhower
- 00:15:21.989 --> 00:15:24.492
- Deploying the national guard there.
- 00:15:24.492 --> 00:15:26.260
- Break that down for us a bit.
- 00:15:26.260 --> 00:15:27.962
- How? there is a historical precedent here.
- 00:15:27.962 --> 00:15:31.599
- Well, there's enormous historical precedent here.
- 00:15:31.599 --> 00:15:34.035
- And it's not just eisenhower, it's jfk, it's lbj,
- 00:15:34.035 --> 00:15:38.139
- It's richard nixon, it's ronald reagan, it's george bush.
- 00:15:38.139 --> 00:15:41.542
- Yeah, we've we've done this over and over again.
- 00:15:41.542 --> 00:15:44.412
- One of the more notable situations,
- 00:15:44.412 --> 00:15:46.547
- Of course, being the 1992 los angeles riots,
- 00:15:46.547 --> 00:15:49.683
- Which are exactly analogies to what
- 00:15:49.683 --> 00:15:51.852
- Trump did in los angeles with, with the, anti ice riots.
- 00:15:51.852 --> 00:15:56.257
- But but the eisenhower example is actually spot on
- 00:15:56.257 --> 00:16:01.429
- For what we're talking about in chicago and new orleans
- 00:16:01.429 --> 00:16:05.366
- And other cities that are just awash in crime.
- 00:16:05.366 --> 00:16:09.537
- It's absolutely absurd
- 00:16:09.537 --> 00:16:12.473
- That chicago would have five murders just over labor day
- 00:16:12.473 --> 00:16:16.043
- Weekend, that they would have 54 shootings in two days.
- 00:16:16.043 --> 00:16:20.681
- This is not okay.
- 00:16:20.681 --> 00:16:22.149
- And the democrats
- 00:16:22.149 --> 00:16:23.250
- Have been running those cities for over a century.
- 00:16:23.250 --> 00:16:26.320
- The blood is on their hands.
- 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:28.022
- We know that.
- 00:16:28.022 --> 00:16:29.023
- You can get it under control
- 00:16:29.023 --> 00:16:30.324
- Because of what just happened in washington.
- 00:16:30.324 --> 00:16:32.693
- And in two weeks time, they had one murder.
- 00:16:32.693 --> 00:16:35.896
- In two weeks time, they cut the violent crime rate in half.
- 00:16:35.896 --> 00:16:39.667
- And you got to understand, the national guard can't arrest.
- 00:16:39.667 --> 00:16:42.970
- All they can do is detain you
- 00:16:42.970 --> 00:16:44.638
- Until the police come and determine
- 00:16:44.638 --> 00:16:46.474
- If there's probable cause for an arrest.
- 00:16:46.474 --> 00:16:48.476
- And then they do their thing.
- 00:16:48.476 --> 00:16:49.944
- So the guard is tremendous backup,
- 00:16:49.944 --> 00:16:53.948
- But it's deployment does not violate the posse comitatus act.
- 00:16:53.948 --> 00:16:57.685
- And that's exactly why the dwight eisenhower felt free
- 00:16:57.685 --> 00:17:03.190
- To send in the 101st airborne and federalized
- 00:17:03.190 --> 00:17:06.760
- The arkansas national guard for the purpose of escorting
- 00:17:06.760 --> 00:17:09.763
- Nine black students into little rock central high.
- 00:17:09.763 --> 00:17:13.100
- In 1957,
- 00:17:13.100 --> 00:17:14.535
- Just three years after the brown versus board
- 00:17:14.535 --> 00:17:16.670
- Of education ruling at the supreme court.
- 00:17:16.670 --> 00:17:19.106
- And not only did they escort the kids in, they stayed.
- 00:17:19.106 --> 00:17:23.711
- And we federally occupied little rock for about eight months.
- 00:17:23.711 --> 00:17:27.848
- So don't tell me there's no precedent here.
- 00:17:27.848 --> 00:17:30.784
- I literally grew up in arkansas.
- 00:17:30.784 --> 00:17:32.920
- All we heard was how eisenhower had been this incredible hero.
- 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:37.491
- They never bothered to mention he was a republican.
- 00:17:37.491 --> 00:17:39.660
- Of course,
- 00:17:39.660 --> 00:17:40.794
- They didn't say a lot about faubus being a democrat,
- 00:17:40.794 --> 00:17:43.297
- But they absolutely lionized eisenhower.
- 00:17:43.297 --> 00:17:46.100
- And trump is right to get these cities under control
- 00:17:46.100 --> 00:17:49.370
- So innocent children can play in their yards, and innocent
- 00:17:49.370 --> 00:17:53.107
- Men and women can come and go to work and not live in fear.
- 00:17:53.107 --> 00:17:56.677
- I guess the big question, rod, is
- 00:17:56.677 --> 00:17:58.145
- Why would the left oppose this?
- 00:17:58.145 --> 00:17:59.613
- Because democrats are howling and gnashing their teeth
- 00:17:59.613 --> 00:18:02.416
- About the deployment in dc
- 00:18:02.416 --> 00:18:04.185
- And talk of similar deployments in chicago, new york city, etc.
- 00:18:04.185 --> 00:18:08.088
- Who in their right mind would oppose this?
- 00:18:08.088 --> 00:18:10.257
- As you said, making our streets and our cities safer for
- 00:18:10.257 --> 00:18:13.360
- Our children.
- 00:18:13.360 --> 00:18:14.395
- While the democrats have presided over this debacle.
- 00:18:15.429 --> 00:18:18.365
- So at its most basic level, the last thing they want
- 00:18:18.365 --> 00:18:22.436
- Is for donald trump to show how needless
- 00:18:22.436 --> 00:18:24.905
- All these deaths have been.
- 00:18:24.905 --> 00:18:26.440
- You know,
- 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:27.308
- You have plenty of statistics to show
- 00:18:27.308 --> 00:18:30.477
- That chicago, in particular,
- 00:18:30.477 --> 00:18:32.546
- Has pretty consistently been more dangerous.
- 00:18:32.546 --> 00:18:36.383
- You know, in terms of loss of human life
- 00:18:36.383 --> 00:18:39.019
- Over the last 25 years than baghdad.
- 00:18:39.019 --> 00:18:41.822
- And there's just no excuse for it.
- 00:18:41.822 --> 00:18:43.958
- It's just absurd.
- 00:18:43.958 --> 00:18:45.626
- So when donald trump comes in and does some commonsense things
- 00:18:45.626 --> 00:18:49.830
- To get these matters under control,
- 00:18:49.830 --> 00:18:53.200
- It makes these democrats look terrible
- 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.536
- And it endangers their reelection.
- 00:18:55.536 --> 00:18:57.671
- That's really what's happening at a broader level.
- 00:18:57.671 --> 00:19:00.941
- It benefits the left to let crime run wild
- 00:19:00.941 --> 00:19:04.178
- Because it creates a mass opinion
- 00:19:04.178 --> 00:19:07.715
- That we must do something, and that allows them
- 00:19:07.715 --> 00:19:11.518
- To grow big government.
- 00:19:11.518 --> 00:19:12.786
- What they don't want
- 00:19:12.786 --> 00:19:14.154
- Is for donald trump to do any of that
- 00:19:14.154 --> 00:19:16.824
- In a way that might harm their political prospects.
- 00:19:16.824 --> 00:19:19.927
- And i just want to say one last thing there.
- 00:19:19.927 --> 00:19:22.396
- Donald trump is not expanding
- 00:19:22.396 --> 00:19:24.031
- The power of the federal government.
- 00:19:24.031 --> 00:19:25.332
- Donald trump is using the power of federal government
- 00:19:25.332 --> 00:19:27.968
- In the manner that it has been used
- 00:19:27.968 --> 00:19:30.004
- Consistently by president after president for the purpose
- 00:19:30.004 --> 00:19:33.907
- Of solving this violent crime problem,
- 00:19:33.907 --> 00:19:36.910
- Not for anything else,
- 00:19:36.910 --> 00:19:38.646
- And certainly not violative of the posse comitatus act.
- 00:19:38.646 --> 00:19:41.915
- Yeah, and democrats are on the wrong side again,
- 00:19:41.915 --> 00:19:44.084
- Out of every single issue, including kilmer, al braco
- 00:19:44.084 --> 00:19:47.021
- Garcia, the ms13 gang member who is described
- 00:19:47.021 --> 00:19:50.824
- In the mainstream media and by democrats as a maryland father.
- 00:19:50.824 --> 00:19:54.728
- Well, he's now being deported.
- 00:19:54.728 --> 00:19:56.297
- Finally, can you talk about the importance
- 00:19:56.297 --> 00:19:58.666
- Of the trump administration sticking to its guns here
- 00:19:58.666 --> 00:20:01.702
- And showing him out of the country again,
- 00:20:01.702 --> 00:20:03.937
- Despite the howls of the left?
- 00:20:03.937 --> 00:20:06.173
- Well, he absolutely is a maryland father.
- 00:20:07.007 --> 00:20:09.243
- And by maryland father, we mean, a man
- 00:20:09.243 --> 00:20:12.646
- Who was turned into the police for wife beating twice,
- 00:20:12.646 --> 00:20:16.750
- A man who was involved in human trafficking.
- 00:20:16.750 --> 00:20:19.753
- That's his indictment in tennessee.
- 00:20:19.753 --> 00:20:22.423
- A man who's a member of ms13.
- 00:20:22.423 --> 00:20:25.159
- According to an immigration courts finding.
- 00:20:25.159 --> 00:20:27.561
- So the.
- 00:20:27.561 --> 00:20:28.429
- Yes. maryland father. absolutely.
- 00:20:28.429 --> 00:20:31.632
- And this is the democrats uphold
- 00:20:31.632 --> 00:20:34.368
- As exemplars of american virtue.
- 00:20:34.368 --> 00:20:37.137
- No, he's a gang banging, wife beating, human trafficking,
- 00:20:37.137 --> 00:20:41.008
- Illegal alien who never had a right to be here
- 00:20:41.008 --> 00:20:43.510
- In the first place,
- 00:20:43.510 --> 00:20:44.645
- Already had an activity protection order against him,
- 00:20:44.645 --> 00:20:47.715
- And he really ought to be in
- 00:20:47.715 --> 00:20:49.016
- Court for the rest of his life in el salvador.
- 00:20:49.016 --> 00:20:52.052
- But they gave him an opportunity
- 00:20:52.052 --> 00:20:53.787
- To go to just about any country because,
- 00:20:53.787 --> 00:20:56.323
- You know, he wanted to avoid that.
- 00:20:56.323 --> 00:20:58.192
- So he kept saying, oh, i'm under threat in those places.
- 00:20:58.192 --> 00:21:00.894
- Most places haven't even heard of you, ma'am.
- 00:21:00.894 --> 00:21:03.197
- So now they're going to send him to to eswatini,
- 00:21:03.197 --> 00:21:07.901
- Which is, which is the former swaziland in southern africa.
- 00:21:07.901 --> 00:21:11.839
- And it's really pretty hilarious.
- 00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:13.907
- But yes, this is who they stand up for.
- 00:21:13.907 --> 00:21:16.310
- They wanted to flood the border.
- 00:21:16.310 --> 00:21:18.011
- They can't allow anything that closes that border
- 00:21:18.011 --> 00:21:21.915
- Because that border invasion floods blue states
- 00:21:21.915 --> 00:21:27.254
- With new electoral votes and new house seats.
- 00:21:27.254 --> 00:21:30.357
- That's what this is about.
- 00:21:30.357 --> 00:21:32.159
- And it'll ultimately get to the point
- 00:21:32.159 --> 00:21:34.061
- Where these people are actually directly voting.
- 00:21:34.061 --> 00:21:36.163
- And of course, many of them are now.
- 00:21:36.163 --> 00:21:38.065
- But that's the game.
- 00:21:38.065 --> 00:21:40.567
- And if they have to die on the hill of kilmer, abrego, garcia,
- 00:21:40.567 --> 00:21:44.738
- They're clearly willing to do it. yeah.
- 00:21:44.738 --> 00:21:46.874
- And that's why the border miracle
- 00:21:46.874 --> 00:21:48.976
- Under president trump is so important.
- 00:21:48.976 --> 00:21:50.711
- We've never seen a more secure southern border, rod.
- 00:21:50.711 --> 00:21:52.813
- You've been documenting that as well.
- 00:21:52.813 --> 00:21:54.481
- Great work as always, my friend.
- 00:21:54.481 --> 00:21:55.883
- Folks, be sure to follow him on x.
- 00:21:55.883 --> 00:21:57.484
- Check him out on the rod martin report.
- 00:21:57.484 --> 00:21:59.453
- Rod. great stuff.
- 00:21:59.453 --> 00:22:00.754
- God bless my friend. we'll see you again soon.
- 00:22:00.754 --> 00:22:02.923
- And coming up after the break, my final thoughts on sanity.
- 00:22:02.923 --> 00:22:06.860
- How the united states
- 00:22:06.860 --> 00:22:08.095
- May be the lone beacon of that in the western world right now.
- 00:22:08.095 --> 00:22:11.832
- Stick around.
- 00:22:11.832 --> 00:22:17.019
- Stick around.
- 00:22:17.019 --> 00:22:19.084
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
- 00:22:19.985 --> 00:22:21.687
- As we wrap up here, rod
- 00:22:21.687 --> 00:22:22.721
- Martin and i were talking about the madness
- 00:22:22.721 --> 00:22:24.523
- That has gripped much of the west, including great britain.
- 00:22:24.523 --> 00:22:27.393
- Of course, while here in america,
- 00:22:27.393 --> 00:22:29.028
- We're moving back towards sanity, faith,
- 00:22:29.028 --> 00:22:32.198
- Family and freedom.
- 00:22:32.198 --> 00:22:33.532
- And we need to remain steadfast
- 00:22:33.532 --> 00:22:35.434
- In that despite the world descending into chaos.
- 00:22:35.434 --> 00:22:38.571
- I think in first corinthians chapter 15, verse 58, therefore,
- 00:22:38.571 --> 00:22:42.374
- My dear brothers and sisters, stand firm.
- 00:22:42.374 --> 00:22:45.711
- Let nothing move. you.
- 00:22:45.711 --> 00:22:47.680
- Always give yourselves fully to the work of the lord,
- 00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:51.450
- Because you know that your labor in the lord is not in vain.
- 00:22:51.450 --> 00:22:56.856
- We're doing the right thing here in america
- 00:22:56.856 --> 00:22:59.792
- To stand with the lord, to turn back to freedom, to sanity.
- 00:22:59.792 --> 00:23:03.562
- The trump administration is doing
- 00:23:03.562 --> 00:23:04.864
- The right thing as well, so we need to stay the course.
- 00:23:04.864 --> 00:23:07.967
- Speaking of which, our good friend
- 00:23:07.967 --> 00:23:09.668
- Rabbi jonathan cahn is here tomorrow night.
- 00:23:09.668 --> 00:23:11.670
- Brand new must-read book, folks, breaking down
- 00:23:11.670 --> 00:23:14.406
- All of these spiritual battles we're locked in right now.
- 00:23:14.406 --> 00:23:17.142
- You won't want to miss it until then.
- 00:23:17.142 --> 00:23:19.278
- God bless you. we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:19.278 --> 00:23:19.278
