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: The Shadow of China | Stakelbeck Tonight | May 28, 2026
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:03.326 --> 00:00:05.161
- I'm erick stakelbeck and call me crazy.
- 00:00:05.161 --> 00:00:07.997
- But it seems like iran's regime
- 00:00:07.997 --> 00:00:11.334
- Isn't very interested in peace.
- 00:00:11.334 --> 00:00:14.537
- We've been hearing reports throughout the day
- 00:00:14.537 --> 00:00:16.172
- That a memorandum of understanding
- 00:00:16.172 --> 00:00:17.974
- Between iran and the united states
- 00:00:17.974 --> 00:00:20.076
- That would end the war is close to being signed.
- 00:00:20.076 --> 00:00:23.780
- And yet iran continues to stir up trouble
- 00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:27.317
- In the strait of hormuz and to attack u.s.
- 00:00:27.317 --> 00:00:29.752
- Bases and allies.
- 00:00:29.752 --> 00:00:31.554
- Apparently, the mad mullahs have not received the peace memo.
- 00:00:31.554 --> 00:00:36.426
- Earlier today, iran fired drones at a ship
- 00:00:36.426 --> 00:00:39.496
- That was attempting to transit the strait of hormuz.
- 00:00:39.496 --> 00:00:42.265
- This was a blatant violation of the ongoing cease fire.
- 00:00:42.265 --> 00:00:46.202
- So u.s.
- 00:00:46.202 --> 00:00:47.704
- Forces responded by striking a ground control station
- 00:00:47.704 --> 00:00:51.241
- In southern iran and shooting down several drones.
- 00:00:51.241 --> 00:00:55.111
- But then iran's regime, as it's known to do, took things
- 00:00:55.111 --> 00:00:58.982
- A step further.
- 00:00:58.982 --> 00:01:00.316
- Iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps fired drones
- 00:01:00.316 --> 00:01:03.520
- And a ballistic missile at a u.s.
- 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:05.455
- Base in kuwait.
- 00:01:05.455 --> 00:01:07.290
- Now the projectiles were intercepted,
- 00:01:07.290 --> 00:01:09.659
- Thankfully, by the kuwaitis.
- 00:01:09.659 --> 00:01:11.394
- But again, this was a blatant violation of the cease fire,
- 00:01:11.394 --> 00:01:15.798
- And it followed an incident on memorial day when iran
- 00:01:15.798 --> 00:01:19.068
- Was attempting to plant mines in the strait of hormuz.
- 00:01:19.068 --> 00:01:22.338
- The u.s.
- 00:01:22.605 --> 00:01:23.540
- Struck iran in response to that incident.
- 00:01:23.540 --> 00:01:26.142
- Folks, none of this comes as a surprise
- 00:01:26.142 --> 00:01:28.444
- If you've been paying attention
- 00:01:28.444 --> 00:01:29.612
- To iran's regime for the past 47 years.
- 00:01:29.612 --> 00:01:33.016
- This is who they are, and this is what they do.
- 00:01:33.016 --> 00:01:36.686
- Murder, mayhem, lies and double talk.
- 00:01:36.686 --> 00:01:40.623
- That's what you get when you're dealing
- 00:01:40.623 --> 00:01:42.559
- With a demonic jihadist death code.
- 00:01:42.559 --> 00:01:46.029
- That's why president trump said at wednesday's white house
- 00:01:46.029 --> 00:01:48.565
- Cabinet meeting that he's, quote, not satisfied
- 00:01:48.565 --> 00:01:51.935
- With what iran is offering at the negotiating table.
- 00:01:51.935 --> 00:01:55.538
- Watch iran is very much the intent.
- 00:01:55.538 --> 00:01:59.309
- They want very much to make a deal.
- 00:01:59.309 --> 00:02:00.777
- So far, they haven't.
- 00:02:00.777 --> 00:02:01.544
- Gotten there that
- 00:02:01.544 --> 00:02:02.612
- We're not satisfied with it, but that we will be
- 00:02:02.612 --> 00:02:05.315
- We will be either that or will have to just finish.
- 00:02:05.315 --> 00:02:07.650
- The job.
- 00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:10.353
- I think so, folks.
- 00:02:10.787 --> 00:02:12.255
- President trump knows what he's doing here.
- 00:02:12.255 --> 00:02:14.123
- And he reiterated that he's not going
- 00:02:14.123 --> 00:02:15.959
- To let the mullahs off the hook no matter how long it takes.
- 00:02:15.959 --> 00:02:20.129
- But time is running very short.
- 00:02:20.129 --> 00:02:22.432
- And the iranian leopard
- 00:02:22.432 --> 00:02:24.200
- Is clearly not going to change its spots.
- 00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:27.370
- Earlier this week, current supreme leader
- 00:02:27.370 --> 00:02:29.706
- Ayatollah khamenei,
- 00:02:29.706 --> 00:02:30.840
- Who was reportedly badly injured in an israeli airstrike
- 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.477
- And hasn't been seen in public since february,
- 00:02:34.477 --> 00:02:37.547
- Released a statement vowing that u.s.
- 00:02:37.547 --> 00:02:39.816
- Forces will never be safe in the middle east
- 00:02:39.816 --> 00:02:42.752
- And that israel will be destroyed in the next 15 years.
- 00:02:42.752 --> 00:02:47.724
- Again, it doesn't seem like iran's regime is ready
- 00:02:47.724 --> 00:02:50.960
- To ride on the peace train any time soon.
- 00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:54.530
- And one of their main supporters remains communist china.
- 00:02:54.530 --> 00:02:58.801
- Coming up, gordon chang joins us to break down
- 00:02:58.801 --> 00:03:01.304
- This dangerous alliance.
- 00:03:01.304 --> 00:03:03.339
- And it all starts now.
- 00:03:03.339 --> 00:03:21.858
- Communist china's
- 00:03:22.292 --> 00:03:23.559
- Fingerprints are all over the iranian threat.
- 00:03:23.559 --> 00:03:26.663
- From missile technology
- 00:03:26.663 --> 00:03:28.231
- To microchips powering advanced iranian weapons systems.
- 00:03:28.231 --> 00:03:32.368
- And the implications for america and the world of this unholy
- 00:03:32.368 --> 00:03:35.772
- Alliance are massive.
- 00:03:35.772 --> 00:03:37.840
- Joining us now to break it
- 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:39.008
- Down is our good friend, gordon chang, author of plan red
- 00:03:39.008 --> 00:03:42.045
- China's project to destroy america.
- 00:03:42.045 --> 00:03:44.814
- Gordon, always great to see you.
- 00:03:44.814 --> 00:03:46.215
- Hey, you've pointed out
- 00:03:46.215 --> 00:03:47.383
- That china is helping iran build the threat.
- 00:03:47.383 --> 00:03:49.352
- We're facing today, not just economically,
- 00:03:49.352 --> 00:03:51.354
- But militarily and technologically.
- 00:03:51.354 --> 00:03:53.990
- Gordon, talk about this deep relationship, long running
- 00:03:53.990 --> 00:03:58.027
- Between the iranian regime and the communist regime in beijing.
- 00:03:58.027 --> 00:04:02.365
- Yeah.
- 00:04:02.598 --> 00:04:03.700
- The relationship between iran and china is so deep
- 00:04:03.700 --> 00:04:05.935
- That you can say that iran acts like a chinese proxy.
- 00:04:05.935 --> 00:04:09.372
- Now, i'm sure the mullahs don't think
- 00:04:09.372 --> 00:04:10.840
- They're a proxy for anybody.
- 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.575
- But when we see what china's been doing,
- 00:04:12.575 --> 00:04:15.244
- That's the only conclusion you can come to.
- 00:04:15.244 --> 00:04:17.280
- Because, for instance, in this war,
- 00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:19.215
- China has been providing everything that iran needs
- 00:04:19.215 --> 00:04:22.051
- Except for combat personnel.
- 00:04:22.051 --> 00:04:24.087
- So we're talking about economic support, propaganda support,
- 00:04:24.087 --> 00:04:27.490
- Diplomatic support, military intelligence and weapons.
- 00:04:27.490 --> 00:04:31.694
- So when you put it all together and it shows that
- 00:04:31.694 --> 00:04:33.963
- China is an enemy combatant in this conflict.
- 00:04:33.963 --> 00:04:37.333
- And gordon, they have a long running deal.
- 00:04:37.333 --> 00:04:39.469
- They sign china and iran, i think 3 or 4 years ago
- 00:04:39.469 --> 00:04:42.105
- As a 20 or 25 year deal.
- 00:04:42.105 --> 00:04:44.040
- Talk about what china gets out of this relationship
- 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.043
- And what iran gets out of it.
- 00:04:47.043 --> 00:04:48.411
- We mentioned the military technology,
- 00:04:48.411 --> 00:04:49.946
- Of course, for iran, but china, i guess cheap energy, right?
- 00:04:49.946 --> 00:04:53.850
- China gets cheap energy because they're buying oil.
- 00:04:54.884 --> 00:04:57.720
- Or they at least they bought oil, at discounted prices.
- 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:01.524
- Plus also they were probably paying in their own currency,
- 00:05:01.524 --> 00:05:05.094
- Which is basically a soft one, non-convertible.
- 00:05:05.094 --> 00:05:09.465
- So that was really good for china.
- 00:05:09.465 --> 00:05:11.067
- And china was buying discounted oil
- 00:05:11.067 --> 00:05:13.002
- From venezuela, for instance.
- 00:05:13.002 --> 00:05:14.337
- And now both of those are off the table.
- 00:05:14.337 --> 00:05:17.340
- Eventually they'll be able to buy venezuelan and iranian oil,
- 00:05:17.340 --> 00:05:20.977
- But they're going to probably have to buy full price,
- 00:05:20.977 --> 00:05:24.080
- Especially in the case of venezuela.
- 00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:26.282
- This is a problem for china because it takes,
- 00:05:26.282 --> 00:05:29.685
- Last year it took about 87, 88%
- 00:05:29.685 --> 00:05:33.022
- Of iran's exports of crude.
- 00:05:33.022 --> 00:05:36.092
- That was about somewhere between 15 and 20 or
- 00:05:36.092 --> 00:05:39.028
- 23% of china's seaborne export imports of crude oil.
- 00:05:39.028 --> 00:05:43.933
- So it's a lot.
- 00:05:43.933 --> 00:05:44.934
- And by the way, through the strait of hormuz,
- 00:05:44.934 --> 00:05:46.436
- Air china gets between 45 and 50% of its seaborne
- 00:05:46.436 --> 00:05:50.206
- Imports of crude.
- 00:05:50.206 --> 00:05:51.374
- So that's extremely a large portion of china's energy.
- 00:05:51.374 --> 00:05:55.545
- Yeah.
- 00:05:55.778 --> 00:05:56.312
- Between the iran war
- 00:05:56.312 --> 00:05:57.480
- And then the united states having, i guess you could say,
- 00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:59.415
- More eyes and ears in the strait of hormuz,
- 00:05:59.415 --> 00:06:01.184
- The malacca strait as well, between, indonesia and malaysia,
- 00:06:01.184 --> 00:06:05.354
- China all of a sudden seems to be on its heels a bit.
- 00:06:05.354 --> 00:06:07.623
- Gordon, give us a bit of a debrief.
- 00:06:07.623 --> 00:06:09.459
- It was just under two weeks ago
- 00:06:09.459 --> 00:06:10.726
- That president trump met with jinping in beijing.
- 00:06:10.726 --> 00:06:14.263
- Give us a bit of a debrief in your view of that summit.
- 00:06:14.263 --> 00:06:17.366
- Did the u.s.
- 00:06:17.700 --> 00:06:18.968
- Come out of that with a stronger position, with more leverage?
- 00:06:18.968 --> 00:06:22.338
- Is communist china weakened? what's your take?
- 00:06:22.338 --> 00:06:26.008
- Well, for one thing, xi
- 00:06:26.509 --> 00:06:28.878
- Jinping, didn't give up much and neither did president trump.
- 00:06:28.878 --> 00:06:32.315
- So to a certain extent, it was a standoff.
- 00:06:32.315 --> 00:06:35.251
- From a propaganda point of view, and probably
- 00:06:35.251 --> 00:06:37.854
- Was the chinese victory, because here you had
- 00:06:37.854 --> 00:06:40.656
- The leader of the free world
- 00:06:40.656 --> 00:06:42.058
- Making the trip to the chinese capital.
- 00:06:42.058 --> 00:06:44.760
- And, you know, forget about trump.
- 00:06:44.760 --> 00:06:46.629
- Think about anybody else.
- 00:06:46.629 --> 00:06:48.030
- Whenever a foreign leader goes to china, they always
- 00:06:48.030 --> 00:06:51.067
- Sort of spin it as, the, the world needs,
- 00:06:51.067 --> 00:06:54.904
- Beijing and is paying homage to the grand celestial court.
- 00:06:54.904 --> 00:06:58.641
- And it wasn't a good look because it came after a lot of
- 00:06:58.641 --> 00:07:01.811
- Other western leaders, trumped over their way to china.
- 00:07:01.811 --> 00:07:05.281
- And the right after you had putin go to china.
- 00:07:05.281 --> 00:07:08.618
- So, it played into that chinese narrative.
- 00:07:08.618 --> 00:07:11.754
- But the one thing that china did, erick,
- 00:07:11.754 --> 00:07:14.056
- Which i think
- 00:07:14.056 --> 00:07:15.191
- Was actually quite bad for china in terms of propaganda,
- 00:07:15.191 --> 00:07:19.095
- Is c jinping was really insulting to the united states
- 00:07:19.095 --> 00:07:21.931
- With his references to thucydides trap new era.
- 00:07:21.931 --> 00:07:25.801
- And then he had that stunt.
- 00:07:25.801 --> 00:07:27.703
- He played a jump on high.
- 00:07:27.703 --> 00:07:28.938
- The leadership compound
- 00:07:28.938 --> 00:07:30.273
- Where trump's share was noticeably lower than seized.
- 00:07:30.273 --> 00:07:34.410
- And that's really shows
- 00:07:34.410 --> 00:07:35.645
- An insecurity on the part of the chinese.
- 00:07:35.645 --> 00:07:37.713
- Basically petty silly games.
- 00:07:37.713 --> 00:07:39.782
- And trump was strong by just ignoring it.
- 00:07:39.782 --> 00:07:42.552
- Yeah.
- 00:07:42.552 --> 00:07:43.152
- The two cities trap
- 00:07:43.152 --> 00:07:44.654
- That you mentioned basically jingping saying america
- 00:07:44.654 --> 00:07:47.990
- Is a declining power and china is a rising power.
- 00:07:47.990 --> 00:07:52.161
- That's one thing i'm sure that president
- 00:07:52.161 --> 00:07:54.330
- Trump strongly disagreed with.
- 00:07:54.330 --> 00:07:55.798
- Not only that, taiwan, look, this number of people
- 00:07:55.798 --> 00:07:58.801
- Need to know about gordon.
- 00:07:58.801 --> 00:08:00.169
- Taiwan produces over
- 00:08:00.169 --> 00:08:01.470
- 90% of the world's most advanced semiconductors.
- 00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:04.874
- These are chips
- 00:08:04.874 --> 00:08:05.975
- That power everything from ai to national defense.
- 00:08:05.975 --> 00:08:09.378
- Talk a bit more about taiwan and that semiconductor factor,
- 00:08:09.378 --> 00:08:13.249
- And why it's so important for every american
- 00:08:13.249 --> 00:08:15.985
- One. taiwanese company, tsmc,
- 00:08:16.619 --> 00:08:19.155
- Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company, produces
- 00:08:19.155 --> 00:08:22.491
- 92% of the world's most sophisticated semiconductors.
- 00:08:22.491 --> 00:08:26.362
- And so it has a law called on this.
- 00:08:26.362 --> 00:08:29.365
- And by the way, erick, the other 8% was produced by samsung.
- 00:08:29.365 --> 00:08:33.903
- Samsung, the south korean government hard left.
- 00:08:33.903 --> 00:08:37.373
- Right now it looks like
- 00:08:37.373 --> 00:08:38.608
- It's not trying to effectively nationalize samsung.
- 00:08:38.608 --> 00:08:42.511
- So tsmc could end up being
- 00:08:42.511 --> 00:08:45.147
- The sole provider of chips to the free world.
- 00:08:45.147 --> 00:08:48.451
- But taiwan's more important than just a chip provider.
- 00:08:48.451 --> 00:08:51.554
- Yeah, it it
- 00:08:51.554 --> 00:08:52.622
- Prevents the chinese
- 00:08:52.622 --> 00:08:53.823
- Navy and air force from surging into the western pacific.
- 00:08:53.823 --> 00:08:56.592
- It's at the center of our,
- 00:08:56.592 --> 00:08:58.628
- Defense perimeter,
- 00:08:58.628 --> 00:08:59.795
- Where the south china sea and east china sea meet.
- 00:08:59.795 --> 00:09:02.498
- And after the catastrophic withdrawal from afghanistan,
- 00:09:02.498 --> 00:09:05.501
- Taiwan has become a key test of american credibility
- 00:09:05.501 --> 00:09:08.404
- And resolve, not just in east asia, but around the world.
- 00:09:08.404 --> 00:09:11.641
- You start putting these factors together, and it's clear
- 00:09:11.641 --> 00:09:14.043
- That defending taiwan is defending the united states.
- 00:09:14.043 --> 00:09:17.413
- Yeah, no doubt it's a u.s.
- 00:09:17.413 --> 00:09:18.748
- Ally, a western ally, a front against the communist
- 00:09:18.748 --> 00:09:21.817
- Regime in beijing in the pacific.
- 00:09:21.817 --> 00:09:23.786
- Coming up, more with gordon chang.
- 00:09:23.786 --> 00:09:25.354
- The next great global battle may not be fought here on earth,
- 00:09:25.354 --> 00:09:28.891
- But on the moon.
- 00:09:28.891 --> 00:09:30.092
- As nasa unveils plans for a massive lunar base
- 00:09:30.092 --> 00:09:33.095
- And communist china rapidly expands its space ambitions.
- 00:09:33.095 --> 00:09:37.933
- Are we entering a new space race for military, technological
- 00:09:37.933 --> 00:09:41.971
- And economic dominance?
- 00:09:41.971 --> 00:09:43.673
- Gordon chang is back with us after the break
- 00:09:43.673 --> 00:09:45.574
- To explain why america's future security could depend
- 00:09:45.574 --> 00:09:49.078
- On winning the race to the moon.
- 00:09:49.078 --> 00:09:51.847
- Stick around.
- 00:09:51.847 --> 00:09:54.008
- Stick around.
- 00:09:54.008 --> 00:09:56.629
- Welcome back to stakelbeck
- 00:09:57.196 --> 00:09:58.764
- Tonight, the united states and communist
- 00:09:58.764 --> 00:10:00.866
- China are no longer just competing economically
- 00:10:00.866 --> 00:10:04.136
- Or militarily.
- 00:10:04.136 --> 00:10:05.271
- They're racing for dominance in space.
- 00:10:05.271 --> 00:10:08.007
- Whoever controls
- 00:10:08.007 --> 00:10:09.075
- The moon could one day control critical resources.
- 00:10:09.075 --> 00:10:12.945
- Gordon chang is back with us to discuss it.
- 00:10:12.945 --> 00:10:15.548
- Gordon, we hear about the ai race between communist
- 00:10:15.548 --> 00:10:19.518
- China and the united states.
- 00:10:19.518 --> 00:10:20.753
- But is there a space race developing as well?
- 00:10:20.753 --> 00:10:24.290
- There are two space races.
- 00:10:24.857 --> 00:10:26.659
- One of them is the race
- 00:10:26.659 --> 00:10:27.693
- We all talk about, which is the race to the moon.
- 00:10:27.693 --> 00:10:30.863
- For us to get back to the moon and for the chinese to get there
- 00:10:30.863 --> 00:10:33.466
- For the first time.
- 00:10:33.466 --> 00:10:34.633
- And we're probably a year and a half, maybe two years
- 00:10:34.633 --> 00:10:37.670
- Ahead of the chinese on that one.
- 00:10:37.670 --> 00:10:40.072
- The more critical race, though, is the race for the moon,
- 00:10:40.072 --> 00:10:43.375
- In other words, to settle the moon.
- 00:10:43.375 --> 00:10:45.644
- And everyone wants to be at the lunar south pole.
- 00:10:45.644 --> 00:10:48.180
- And nasa, just a couple of days ago
- 00:10:48.180 --> 00:10:50.516
- Announced plans for a lunar base, which will be large.
- 00:10:50.516 --> 00:10:54.487
- And that's important for science, for technology,
- 00:10:54.487 --> 00:10:58.290
- For military and for getting to mars.
- 00:10:58.290 --> 00:11:00.593
- So whoever controls the moon will control cislunar space,
- 00:11:00.593 --> 00:11:04.296
- Which is the space area between the moon and the earth.
- 00:11:04.296 --> 00:11:07.800
- That means you got to control low earth orbits where we have.
- 00:11:07.800 --> 00:11:10.936
- You mentioned ai data centers are going to be in orbit.
- 00:11:10.936 --> 00:11:14.573
- And if you control a low earth earth orbit,
- 00:11:14.573 --> 00:11:17.376
- Then you control the earth.
- 00:11:17.376 --> 00:11:18.944
- So this is really important when you consider
- 00:11:18.944 --> 00:11:22.148
- That the moon and the earth are really one system.
- 00:11:22.148 --> 00:11:25.151
- They're not two separate systems.
- 00:11:25.151 --> 00:11:27.453
- Yeah.
- 00:11:27.453 --> 00:11:27.753
- No, no,
- 00:11:27.753 --> 00:11:29.021
- President trump has been trying to stay one step ahead of china
- 00:11:29.021 --> 00:11:30.623
- In all these different spheres.
- 00:11:30.623 --> 00:11:32.224
- And yet you've talked about this, gordon.
- 00:11:32.224 --> 00:11:33.793
- China is doing a great job in their view of theft
- 00:11:33.793 --> 00:11:38.464
- Here in america, technology, technological knowhow
- 00:11:38.464 --> 00:11:41.700
- About space and a whole number of issues.
- 00:11:41.700 --> 00:11:44.003
- Part of that is chinese students on american college campuses.
- 00:11:44.003 --> 00:11:48.641
- Now this continues.
- 00:11:48.641 --> 00:11:49.909
- This program of president trump seems to be in support of it.
- 00:11:49.909 --> 00:11:52.611
- Talk about why you are concerned about that.
- 00:11:52.611 --> 00:11:55.281
- Thousands of students from communist china
- 00:11:55.281 --> 00:11:57.683
- On american college campuses.
- 00:11:57.683 --> 00:12:00.519
- As an initial error.
- 00:12:00.986 --> 00:12:02.588
- We know that the sphere portion of them commit espionage
- 00:12:02.588 --> 00:12:06.392
- Against the united states.
- 00:12:06.392 --> 00:12:07.593
- Maybe i've seen figures like in the 13% range,
- 00:12:07.593 --> 00:12:11.630
- We'd of course, don't know, but it's substantial.
- 00:12:11.630 --> 00:12:14.166
- But also china weaponizes
- 00:12:14.166 --> 00:12:15.868
- These students to engage in political protests,
- 00:12:15.868 --> 00:12:19.271
- Or demonstrations
- 00:12:19.271 --> 00:12:20.406
- Of political support for visiting chinese leaders.
- 00:12:20.406 --> 00:12:23.809
- We also know that china's ministry of state security
- 00:12:23.809 --> 00:12:27.713
- And chinese consular officials
- 00:12:27.713 --> 00:12:29.582
- Monitor, coerce and surveil these students.
- 00:12:29.582 --> 00:12:32.551
- And they've got all sorts of organizations
- 00:12:32.551 --> 00:12:34.653
- Like the chinese students
- 00:12:34.653 --> 00:12:35.821
- And scholars association that controls these students.
- 00:12:35.821 --> 00:12:39.825
- So, you know, erick, this is our country.
- 00:12:39.825 --> 00:12:41.927
- We shouldn't be putting up with this, and we don't have to.
- 00:12:41.927 --> 00:12:45.030
- And so if it's important for us,
- 00:12:45.030 --> 00:12:47.299
- I don't think we should have more chinese students here.
- 00:12:47.299 --> 00:12:50.069
- And there's a very simple, basic, fundamental reason,
- 00:12:50.069 --> 00:12:53.672
- And that is that every space taken by a chinese
- 00:12:53.672 --> 00:12:56.976
- Or other foreign student means one fewer space for americans.
- 00:12:56.976 --> 00:13:01.280
- We know that the chinese are actually concentrated
- 00:13:01.280 --> 00:13:03.949
- In the stem topics
- 00:13:03.949 --> 00:13:05.351
- Science, technology, engineering, mathematics.
- 00:13:05.351 --> 00:13:08.020
- That's where americans need to do better.
- 00:13:08.020 --> 00:13:10.789
- So until we can educate every american,
- 00:13:10.789 --> 00:13:14.326
- We should not be opening up
- 00:13:14.326 --> 00:13:16.262
- By what
- 00:13:16.262 --> 00:13:16.795
- President trump says
- 00:13:16.795 --> 00:13:17.763
- Doubling, essentially doubling the number of
- 00:13:17.763 --> 00:13:19.765
- Chinese students in our country.
- 00:13:19.765 --> 00:13:21.567
- That's just wrong and growing.
- 00:13:21.567 --> 00:13:23.168
- At the end of the day, they are our number one
- 00:13:23.168 --> 00:13:25.404
- Strategic geopolitical adversary,
- 00:13:25.404 --> 00:13:27.806
- And we're giving them an open door here to our universities
- 00:13:27.806 --> 00:13:30.075
- And including elite universities.
- 00:13:30.075 --> 00:13:32.378
- That's part of keeping china.
- 00:13:32.378 --> 00:13:34.213
- You would hope, keeping them out of our hemisphere.
- 00:13:34.213 --> 00:13:36.815
- We're not really doing that at home.
- 00:13:36.815 --> 00:13:37.850
- It seems on college campuses,
- 00:13:37.850 --> 00:13:39.251
- But places like venezuela, cuba, the panama canal.
- 00:13:39.251 --> 00:13:43.789
- Talk a bit about what president trump has done right there.
- 00:13:43.789 --> 00:13:46.392
- Gordon, to blunt chinese influence in our hemisphere.
- 00:13:46.392 --> 00:13:50.596
- This is a great story.
- 00:13:51.063 --> 00:13:52.364
- If you go back to the
- 00:13:52.364 --> 00:13:53.599
- National security strategy, which was released in december,
- 00:13:53.599 --> 00:13:56.402
- President trump made it very clear
- 00:13:56.402 --> 00:13:58.370
- The western hemisphere is the number one priority.
- 00:13:58.370 --> 00:14:00.739
- And he's
- 00:14:00.739 --> 00:14:01.941
- Been acting on those promises because in the canal zone,
- 00:14:01.941 --> 00:14:04.476
- We see that we're pushing the chinese out.
- 00:14:04.476 --> 00:14:06.679
- We still got more
- 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:07.813
- To do in the canal zone, but we've had a terrific start
- 00:14:07.813 --> 00:14:10.916
- By taking over those two port operations.
- 00:14:10.916 --> 00:14:13.519
- Venezuela, is no longer a chinese friend.
- 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:18.123
- And now we have pressure in cuba, where there are at least
- 00:14:18.123 --> 00:14:21.193
- Four listening posts
- 00:14:21.193 --> 00:14:22.928
- That china maintains directed against the us communications.
- 00:14:22.928 --> 00:14:26.765
- So this is important.
- 00:14:26.765 --> 00:14:27.933
- Getting the chinese out of our hemisphere.
- 00:14:27.933 --> 00:14:30.202
- The pink wave, which started in 2018
- 00:14:30.202 --> 00:14:32.905
- With the election of amlo in mexico, that's over with.
- 00:14:32.905 --> 00:14:36.675
- And now we're starting
- 00:14:36.675 --> 00:14:37.776
- To see conservatives being elected in latin america.
- 00:14:37.776 --> 00:14:40.546
- So this is a benign environment for us.
- 00:14:40.546 --> 00:14:43.615
- Yeah.
- 00:14:43.615 --> 00:14:44.650
- Hey, last question gordon, about a minute left.
- 00:14:44.650 --> 00:14:46.185
- You mentioned russia earlier, china, russia,
- 00:14:46.185 --> 00:14:49.254
- That relationship, as you said,
- 00:14:49.254 --> 00:14:50.689
- Putin paid a visit to beijing right after president trump.
- 00:14:50.689 --> 00:14:53.792
- What's the latest in that dynamic?
- 00:14:53.792 --> 00:14:56.695
- That meeting between putin
- 00:14:57.262 --> 00:14:58.731
- And kim thing did not go well for either of them.
- 00:14:58.731 --> 00:15:01.867
- There were 40 agreements signed, but they were mostly
- 00:15:01.867 --> 00:15:04.670
- Or entirely memorandum of understanding.
- 00:15:04.670 --> 00:15:07.106
- In other words, just invitations to talk.
- 00:15:07.106 --> 00:15:09.742
- The most important thing is that russia did not get china's
- 00:15:09.742 --> 00:15:12.778
- Green light for the power of siberia to gas pipeline.
- 00:15:12.778 --> 00:15:16.515
- That's really important for both countries.
- 00:15:16.515 --> 00:15:18.917
- And they couldn't act on what was in their mutual interest,
- 00:15:18.917 --> 00:15:21.620
- Which shows you
- 00:15:21.620 --> 00:15:22.855
- The problems in the relationship between beijing and moscow.
- 00:15:22.855 --> 00:15:25.324
- Well, and that's a good thing for the united states
- 00:15:25.324 --> 00:15:27.526
- And the free world when they are butting heads.
- 00:15:27.526 --> 00:15:29.728
- Great breakdown,
- 00:15:29.728 --> 00:15:30.796
- Gordon, as always, folks, no one does it better
- 00:15:30.796 --> 00:15:32.598
- When it comes to all things asia.
- 00:15:32.598 --> 00:15:34.333
- Our good friend gordon chang.
- 00:15:34.333 --> 00:15:35.701
- Be sure to follow him on x and across social media.
- 00:15:35.701 --> 00:15:38.337
- Gordon. great job.
- 00:15:38.337 --> 00:15:39.171
- God bless my friend.
- 00:15:39.171 --> 00:15:40.005
- We'll see you again soon.
- 00:15:40.005 --> 00:15:41.240
- Coming up after the break, there's an old saying
- 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.175
- In the world of radical islam.
- 00:15:43.175 --> 00:15:44.810
- First the saturday people, the jews,
- 00:15:44.810 --> 00:15:47.446
- Then the sunday people.
- 00:15:47.446 --> 00:15:48.914
- The christians will talk to one of our good
- 00:15:48.914 --> 00:15:50.582
- Friends, siggy flicker, about that.
- 00:15:50.582 --> 00:15:52.918
- Why every christian in america should be concerned right now.
- 00:15:52.918 --> 00:15:56.388
- That's coming up after the break. don't move.
- 00:15:56.388 --> 00:16:01.011
- That's coming up after the break. don't move.
- 00:16:01.011 --> 00:16:03.992
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:06.795
- Anti-semitism is sweeping the nation
- 00:16:06.795 --> 00:16:10.031
- And the epicenter appears to be new york city.
- 00:16:10.031 --> 00:16:13.535
- What was once a symbol of american ingenuity and unity?
- 00:16:13.535 --> 00:16:16.371
- Post 911 is now the site of an islamo communist
- 00:16:16.371 --> 00:16:20.375
- Mayor focused on pushing a radical agenda at any cost.
- 00:16:20.375 --> 00:16:24.712
- I was recently joined by siggy flicker, a tv personality
- 00:16:24.712 --> 00:16:27.615
- And activist who's been sounding the alarm about mamdani
- 00:16:27.615 --> 00:16:31.419
- And the rise of islam in america.
- 00:16:31.419 --> 00:16:34.556
- Take a look.
- 00:16:34.556 --> 00:16:36.591
- Siggy, great to see you.
- 00:16:36.591 --> 00:16:38.226
- Hey. every year
- 00:16:38.226 --> 00:16:39.394
- Since 1964, new york city has held an israel day parade.
- 00:16:39.394 --> 00:16:43.531
- And every year, siggy, the mayor of new york city,
- 00:16:43.531 --> 00:16:45.934
- Has attended this parade.
- 00:16:45.934 --> 00:16:47.435
- Zoran mamdani says he will be the first mayor
- 00:16:47.435 --> 00:16:50.939
- To skip the israel day parade.
- 00:16:50.939 --> 00:16:53.942
- Seems pretty telling to me.
- 00:16:53.942 --> 00:16:55.610
- It seems that mamdani is creating
- 00:16:55.610 --> 00:16:57.312
- A very hostile environment for jews in new york city.
- 00:16:57.312 --> 00:17:01.850
- Absolutely. as he should.
- 00:17:01.850 --> 00:17:04.052
- Now, what do i mean by that, erick?
- 00:17:04.853 --> 00:17:06.721
- He never claimed to love america.
- 00:17:06.721 --> 00:17:09.057
- He never claimed he's a radical islamist.
- 00:17:09.057 --> 00:17:11.926
- And what that means
- 00:17:11.926 --> 00:17:12.894
- Is he's here to dominate this country and to.
- 00:17:12.894 --> 00:17:17.465
- And that's the goal of islam.
- 00:17:17.465 --> 00:17:19.200
- They come to christian nations on purpose.
- 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.804
- So i'm not shocked by monday
- 00:17:22.804 --> 00:17:25.473
- Not showing up
- 00:17:25.473 --> 00:17:26.608
- For an israel day parade, which i was the ambassador
- 00:17:26.608 --> 00:17:29.410
- Of the israel day parade a few years ago,
- 00:17:29.410 --> 00:17:31.579
- Which was fabulous.
- 00:17:31.579 --> 00:17:33.081
- I actually thank him for being honest
- 00:17:33.081 --> 00:17:36.484
- And showing the american people, because the problem
- 00:17:36.484 --> 00:17:40.054
- Is not the jews in israel.
- 00:17:40.054 --> 00:17:42.290
- You see, israel knows what their neighbors are like.
- 00:17:42.290 --> 00:17:45.126
- They know that their neighbors have been indoctrinated
- 00:17:45.126 --> 00:17:47.795
- Since the time that they drink their mother's breast milk,
- 00:17:47.795 --> 00:17:51.065
- And they're fighting radical islam.
- 00:17:51.065 --> 00:17:54.302
- I want my christian brothers and sisters here in america
- 00:17:54.302 --> 00:17:59.140
- To say, wow, when people show you who they are, trust them
- 00:17:59.140 --> 00:18:03.111
- The first time.
- 00:18:03.111 --> 00:18:04.112
- Don't wait until you lose your nation.
- 00:18:04.112 --> 00:18:06.948
- And erick, what i'm about to say might sound harsh,
- 00:18:06.948 --> 00:18:10.218
- But i don't have a filter. you know that,
- 00:18:10.218 --> 00:18:12.687
- The jewish people have somewhere to go.
- 00:18:13.521 --> 00:18:16.424
- Where do my christian brothers and sisters go?
- 00:18:16.424 --> 00:18:20.128
- We must save this christian nation.
- 00:18:20.128 --> 00:18:23.898
- And of course, everybody i call anti-semitism is on an all time
- 00:18:23.898 --> 00:18:27.569
- High. well, no duh.
- 00:18:27.569 --> 00:18:29.571
- Anti-semitism is on an all time high
- 00:18:29.571 --> 00:18:31.673
- Because you took the monsters in the middle east
- 00:18:31.673 --> 00:18:34.242
- And you sprinkled them throughout the world.
- 00:18:34.242 --> 00:18:36.644
- Australia has done.
- 00:18:36.644 --> 00:18:38.446
- Canada has done.
- 00:18:38.446 --> 00:18:40.014
- Europe is done, with the exception of poland and hungary.
- 00:18:40.014 --> 00:18:43.384
- And now they must conquer america.
- 00:18:43.384 --> 00:18:46.120
- Because if they conquer america,
- 00:18:46.120 --> 00:18:48.256
- America is the greatest country in the world.
- 00:18:48.256 --> 00:18:50.558
- They've got it all.
- 00:18:50.558 --> 00:18:53.461
- They come here and we discuss this before they infiltrate.
- 00:18:52.060 --> 00:18:57.332
- Yeah. they populate.
- 00:18:57.332 --> 00:18:59.100
- They dominate.
- 00:18:59.100 --> 00:19:00.635
- They never want to assimilate.
- 00:19:00.635 --> 00:19:02.570
- And they tell you that.
- 00:19:02.570 --> 00:19:04.105
- And then they create a caliphate.
- 00:19:04.105 --> 00:19:06.341
- And then they bring upon sharia law.
- 00:19:06.341 --> 00:19:09.477
- A lot of people say, well, siggy, not all muslims are bad.
- 00:19:09.477 --> 00:19:12.981
- Actually, you're 100% correct.
- 00:19:12.981 --> 00:19:15.650
- There are 2 billion muslims in the world.
- 00:19:15.650 --> 00:19:18.920
- There are only 15 million jews.
- 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.757
- 0.0.0 2% of the world's population.
- 00:19:22.757 --> 00:19:28.162
- 15 million
- 00:19:28.463 --> 00:19:30.531
- Against 2 billion.
- 00:19:30.965 --> 00:19:33.034
- Now, they say not all muslims are bad
- 00:19:33.034 --> 00:19:35.336
- And they're absolutely correct.
- 00:19:35.336 --> 00:19:36.771
- But according to all sources, fbi, cia,
- 00:19:36.771 --> 00:19:39.974
- All federal sources, 25% have been radicalized.
- 00:19:39.974 --> 00:19:43.344
- If you take 25% of 2 billion,
- 00:19:43.344 --> 00:19:47.181
- You have a 400 million people problem.
- 00:19:47.949 --> 00:19:52.053
- So i'm asking americans, get over your jew hatred.
- 00:19:52.053 --> 00:19:55.723
- If you hate the jews.
- 00:19:55.723 --> 00:19:56.891
- No one really cares.
- 00:19:56.891 --> 00:19:58.126
- Israel is going nowhere.
- 00:19:58.126 --> 00:20:00.061
- All you're doing is radicalizing the world to wake up and see.
- 00:20:00.061 --> 00:20:04.198
- Hey, you guys are really not peaceful people.
- 00:20:04.198 --> 00:20:06.701
- Yeah.
- 00:20:06.701 --> 00:20:07.368
- This is not a peaceful religion.
- 00:20:07.368 --> 00:20:10.038
- It's an idea. it's not even a religion.
- 00:20:10.038 --> 00:20:11.739
- It's an ideology.
- 00:20:11.739 --> 00:20:13.341
- And i've never seen a jew or a christian.
- 00:20:13.341 --> 00:20:15.843
- Erick, stab, behead, blow himself up,
- 00:20:15.843 --> 00:20:20.415
- Ram his truck into a church, run down people in a car.
- 00:20:20.415 --> 00:20:24.719
- It's their ideology that the world needs
- 00:20:24.719 --> 00:20:28.189
- To wake up to and stop being afraid of.
- 00:20:28.189 --> 00:20:30.591
- But america, siggy.
- 00:20:30.591 --> 00:20:32.293
- Under president trump,
- 00:20:32.293 --> 00:20:33.828
- Key point there is the firewall, the ultimate firewall.
- 00:20:33.828 --> 00:20:38.366
- And nothing is guaranteed after 2028.
- 00:20:38.366 --> 00:20:41.102
- Can you just give us, again,
- 00:20:41.102 --> 00:20:42.603
- A sense of urgency or transmit that sense of urgency,
- 00:20:42.603 --> 00:20:45.473
- Which you do so well about the stakes here, the fight we're in.
- 00:20:45.473 --> 00:20:49.610
- America is not anti-semitic.
- 00:20:49.610 --> 00:20:51.512
- America does not have a race problem.
- 00:20:51.512 --> 00:20:53.681
- America has a radical islamist and communist.
- 00:20:53.681 --> 00:20:56.984
- The red green alliance is trying to find as many low
- 00:20:56.984 --> 00:21:01.255
- Iq individuals to turn you against your christian nation.
- 00:21:01.255 --> 00:21:07.228
- Like i said before.
- 00:21:07.228 --> 00:21:08.529
- Forget about your jew hatred.
- 00:21:08.529 --> 00:21:09.964
- Get back to it in a few years. for right now,
- 00:21:09.964 --> 00:21:13.634
- It doesn't matter whether you hate israel, the jews
- 00:21:13.634 --> 00:21:16.604
- Focus on saving your christian nation,
- 00:21:16.604 --> 00:21:19.674
- Because every day churches are being burned down.
- 00:21:19.674 --> 00:21:22.443
- Christians are being persecuted throughout the world.
- 00:21:22.443 --> 00:21:24.879
- But here in america, they are turning churches into mosques.
- 00:21:24.879 --> 00:21:28.583
- They are building mosques faster than i buy chanel bags.
- 00:21:28.583 --> 00:21:32.520
- I am letting you know we are in big, big trouble
- 00:21:32.520 --> 00:21:35.690
- If the american people don't wake up.
- 00:21:35.690 --> 00:21:38.226
- I can't find anywhere in the koran.
- 00:21:38.226 --> 00:21:40.762
- It says slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.
- 00:21:40.762 --> 00:21:44.665
- Koran 3.28.
- 00:21:44.665 --> 00:21:46.834
- Muslims must not take infidel as friend.
- 00:21:46.834 --> 00:21:50.471
- They're basically showing you who they are.
- 00:21:50.471 --> 00:21:52.573
- Any religion other than islam is not acceptable.
- 00:21:52.573 --> 00:21:56.811
- Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize islam.
- 00:21:56.811 --> 00:22:01.983
- Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures
- 00:22:01.983 --> 00:22:05.753
- Other than the koran.
- 00:22:05.753 --> 00:22:07.355
- What more do you need?
- 00:22:07.355 --> 00:22:09.857
- None of this is by accident.
- 00:22:09.857 --> 00:22:11.325
- Siggy flicker, thanks so much for all you are doing.
- 00:22:11.325 --> 00:22:14.228
- The sound alarm folks.
- 00:22:14.228 --> 00:22:15.363
- Be sure to follow you on x
- 00:22:15.363 --> 00:22:17.965
- Instagram and across social media.
- 00:22:17.965 --> 00:22:20.201
- Siggy. great job. god bless. keep up the great work.
- 00:22:20.201 --> 00:22:22.770
- We'll see you again soon.
- 00:22:22.770 --> 00:22:24.305
- Up next, my final thoughts on what the bible says
- 00:22:25.306 --> 00:22:28.142
- About dealing with the likes of iran's regime.
- 00:22:28.142 --> 00:22:31.379
- That's next.
- 00:22:31.379 --> 00:22:32.213
- Stick around.
- 00:22:32.213 --> 00:22:35.011
- Stick around.
- 00:22:35.011 --> 00:22:37.392
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
- 00:22:38.259 --> 00:22:40.128
- As we wrap up
- 00:22:40.128 --> 00:22:41.329
- Here, we've been talking about dealing with iran's regime,
- 00:22:41.329 --> 00:22:43.998
- How to deal or make a deal with a demonic death cold.
- 00:22:43.998 --> 00:22:47.368
- As usual.
- 00:22:47.368 --> 00:22:48.169
- I think the bible has the answer.
- 00:22:48.169 --> 00:22:50.238
- Proverbs chapter three verse
- 00:22:50.238 --> 00:22:51.573
- Seven says, do not be wise in your own eyes.
- 00:22:51.573 --> 00:22:55.910
- Fear the lord and shun evil.
- 00:22:55.910 --> 00:22:59.214
- That about sums it up.
- 00:22:59.214 --> 00:23:00.615
- I'll take it in a secular standpoint for you as well.
- 00:23:00.615 --> 00:23:03.585
- President reagan used to say ronald reagan
- 00:23:03.585 --> 00:23:05.653
- When it came to dealing with the soviets trust
- 00:23:05.653 --> 00:23:07.655
- But verify when it comes to iran, do not trust, but verify.
- 00:23:07.655 --> 00:23:11.626
- Hey, we won't be with you tomorrow night.
- 00:23:11.626 --> 00:23:13.394
- The k-love fan awards right here on tbn tomorrow
- 00:23:13.394 --> 00:23:16.364
- Night, 7:30 p.m. eastern time.
- 00:23:16.364 --> 00:23:17.732
- You won't want to miss that until next week.
- 00:23:17.732 --> 00:23:20.301
- God bless you and we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:20.301 --> 00:23:20.301
