Stakelbeck Tonight | Erick Stakelbeck: Truth vs. Woke Lies | Stakelbeck Tonight | January 20, 2026

Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
00:00:04.220 --> 00:00:05.688
I'm erick stakelbeck.
00:00:05.688 --> 00:00:06.656
And on his
00:00:06.656 --> 00:00:07.857
First day back in office, which was one year ago today,
00:00:07.857 --> 00:00:11.360
President trump signed an executive order
00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:13.629
To keep biological men out of women's sports
00:00:13.629 --> 00:00:17.633
And to end the radical gender ideology
00:00:17.633 --> 00:00:20.603
That took hold during the biden years.
00:00:20.603 --> 00:00:23.005
It's a battle for sanity, and it's heating up.
00:00:23.005 --> 00:00:26.509
Just days ago, the united states supreme court heard arguments
00:00:26.509 --> 00:00:29.812
In two landmark cases out of idaho and west virginia, cases
00:00:29.812 --> 00:00:34.851
That could determine
00:00:34.851 --> 00:00:35.985
The future of women's and girls sports in this country.
00:00:35.985 --> 00:00:39.122
Folks, at stake here is a question so basic,
00:00:39.122 --> 00:00:43.059
So foundational
00:00:43.059 --> 00:00:44.694
That it would have been unthinkable even a decade ago.
00:00:44.694 --> 00:00:48.297
What is a woman?
00:00:48.297 --> 00:00:50.633
Now, these supreme court cases challenged state laws
00:00:50.633 --> 00:00:53.169
Designed to do something very simple protect female athletes
00:00:53.169 --> 00:00:57.173
By keeping women's sports for women.
00:00:57.173 --> 00:01:00.243
Imagine that.
00:01:00.243 --> 00:01:01.344
And yet here we are watching the highest court
00:01:01.344 --> 00:01:04.347
In the land wrestle with definitions
00:01:04.347 --> 00:01:06.749
That god and biology settled long ago.
00:01:06.749 --> 00:01:10.486
But to the left, it's all still an open question.
00:01:10.486 --> 00:01:14.423
Take a look at this exchange from senate testimony last week.
00:01:14.423 --> 00:01:17.760
Thank you, mr. chairman.
00:01:18.294 --> 00:01:19.328
Since you bring it up, why don't we start there?
00:01:19.328 --> 00:01:22.198
Doctor verma, i wasn't sure i understood
00:01:22.198 --> 00:01:23.799
Your answer to senator moody a moment ago.
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.035
Do you think that men can get pregnant?
00:01:26.035 --> 00:01:29.038
I hesitated there because i wasn't sure
00:01:29.906 --> 00:01:31.974
Where the conversation was going or what the goal was.
00:01:31.974 --> 00:01:35.044
I mean, i do take care of patients
00:01:35.044 --> 00:01:36.746
With different identities. i take care of many women.
00:01:36.746 --> 00:01:39.282
I take care of people at different identities.
00:01:39.282 --> 00:01:41.584
And so that's where i paused.
00:01:41.584 --> 00:01:43.152
I think, yeah.
00:01:43.152 --> 00:01:45.555
I wasn't sure where you were going with that.
00:01:45.555 --> 00:01:47.190
Well, i the goal is, is the truth.
00:01:47.190 --> 00:01:48.724
So can men get pregnant again?
00:01:48.724 --> 00:01:51.360
The reason i paused there is
00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:53.196
I i'm not really sure what the goal of the.
00:01:53.196 --> 00:01:55.765
Goal is, is to establish a. biological reality.
00:01:55.765 --> 00:01:58.301
You just said a moment ago
00:01:58.301 --> 00:01:59.502
That science and evidence should control, not politics.
00:01:59.502 --> 00:02:03.372
So let's just. test that proposition.
00:02:03.372 --> 00:02:05.341
Can men get pregnant?
00:02:05.341 --> 00:02:06.976
I take care of people with many identities.
00:02:06.976 --> 00:02:09.178
But, can men get pregnant?
00:02:09.178 --> 00:02:10.947
Many women that can get pregnant.
00:02:10.947 --> 00:02:13.049
I do take care of people that don't identify as women.
00:02:13.049 --> 00:02:16.652
Can can men get pregnant
00:02:16.652 --> 00:02:18.854
Again.
00:02:19.055 --> 00:02:20.122
As i'm saying? let me just let me just remind you.
00:02:20.122 --> 00:02:22.225
You testified to a moment ago.
00:02:22.225 --> 00:02:23.593
Science and evidence and control, not politics.
00:02:23.593 --> 00:02:27.029
So should can men get pregnant?
00:02:27.029 --> 00:02:30.299
That's the kind of thinking
00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:32.335
That landed boys in girls locker rooms in the first place.
00:02:32.335 --> 00:02:36.505
As a result, across
00:02:36.505 --> 00:02:37.740
The country, girls are losing championships, scholarships
00:02:37.740 --> 00:02:41.577
And opportunities they work their entire lives for.
00:02:41.577 --> 00:02:45.414
In some cases,
00:02:45.414 --> 00:02:46.315
They're even getting physically injured
00:02:46.315 --> 00:02:48.551
By biological males with undeniable physical advantages.
00:02:48.551 --> 00:02:52.955
Title nine was created to protect women, not erase them.
00:02:52.955 --> 00:02:57.326
And now the supreme court must decide
00:02:57.326 --> 00:02:59.695
Whether it will uphold that promise or redefine sex
00:02:59.695 --> 00:03:03.599
So broadly that women's sports effectively cease to exist.
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:07.870
Folks, this isn't just a legal fight.
00:03:07.870 --> 00:03:10.673
It's a moral one,
00:03:10.673 --> 00:03:11.941
A cultural one, and most of all, a spiritual one.
00:03:11.941 --> 00:03:15.778
Coming up,
00:03:16.078 --> 00:03:16.646
We'll be joined by john
00:03:16.646 --> 00:03:17.813
Amanchukwu, a fearless pastor and truth teller, on why
00:03:17.813 --> 00:03:20.983
This moment matters and why the church must not stay silent.
00:03:20.983 --> 00:03:26.355
And it all starts now.
00:03:26.355 --> 00:03:45.207
In an
00:03:45.441 --> 00:03:46.475
Age dominated by influencers and viral podcast,
00:03:46.475 --> 00:03:49.779
Many young americans are being discipled by the wrong voices.
00:03:49.779 --> 00:03:53.482
Pastor john amanchukwu who is warning
00:03:53.482 --> 00:03:55.418
That clicks and clout are no substitute
00:03:55.418 --> 00:03:58.621
For biblical authority and godly leadership.
00:03:58.621 --> 00:04:02.024
I recently sat down with him at turning point
00:04:02.024 --> 00:04:03.793
Annual and fest in phoenix.
00:04:03.793 --> 00:04:06.062
Take a look.
00:04:06.062 --> 00:04:08.597
Pastor john amanchukwu, always great to see you, my friend.
00:04:08.597 --> 00:04:11.634
And look here at amp fest in phoenix, arizona.
00:04:11.634 --> 00:04:14.170
Charlie kirk's legacy still looms large.
00:04:14.170 --> 00:04:18.074
And there's young people here who really charlie attracted
00:04:18.074 --> 00:04:21.711
To the movement? yes. and they're hungry.
00:04:21.711 --> 00:04:24.113
They're hungry for guidance.
00:04:24.113 --> 00:04:25.481
They're hungry for the gospel.
00:04:25.481 --> 00:04:26.816
They're hungry for truth.
00:04:26.816 --> 00:04:28.551
And, pastor john, you and i were talking off
00:04:28.551 --> 00:04:30.052
Camera far too often.
00:04:30.052 --> 00:04:31.253
Now they're looking in the wrong places for those answers.
00:04:31.253 --> 00:04:35.124
Talk more about that.
00:04:35.124 --> 00:04:36.525
Well, you know, there are many voices today.
00:04:36.525 --> 00:04:39.495
We live in a noisy world. yeah.
00:04:39.495 --> 00:04:41.597
You know, and you have to have a clear understanding
00:04:41.597 --> 00:04:46.869
Of what the bible says and have a biblical worldview
00:04:46.869 --> 00:04:50.039
To truly know who you should and should not listen to.
00:04:50.039 --> 00:04:54.410
And the bible speaks of seducing spirits
00:04:54.410 --> 00:04:59.115
That would arise in the last days,
00:04:59.115 --> 00:05:02.785
That would pull people away from the faith.
00:05:02.785 --> 00:05:06.389
Yeah.
00:05:06.622 --> 00:05:06.989
You know,
00:05:06.989 --> 00:05:08.124
I look at some of the division that we see online today
00:05:08.124 --> 00:05:11.260
And the intentional antecedent and antisemitism
00:05:11.260 --> 00:05:15.664
That's being pushed by some people.
00:05:15.664 --> 00:05:18.200
We look we look at the,
00:05:18.701 --> 00:05:20.102
The racism that's been pushed by some people.
00:05:20.102 --> 00:05:23.139
You think of people like nick fuentes,
00:05:23.139 --> 00:05:25.708
Who's built a reputation on saying demeaning things
00:05:25.708 --> 00:05:29.845
About blacks and about issues and demonizing women.
00:05:29.845 --> 00:05:34.283
These are not the model citizens that we should,
00:05:34.283 --> 00:05:37.420
Push our children towards.
00:05:37.420 --> 00:05:38.721
So listening to and hearing.
00:05:38.721 --> 00:05:40.456
Yeah, you know, and so charlie spoke against that.
00:05:40.456 --> 00:05:43.926
We need to make sure that we protect
00:05:43.926 --> 00:05:45.628
That part of charlie's legacy
00:05:45.628 --> 00:05:47.696
And that we platform people who want to unite america
00:05:47.696 --> 00:05:51.333
But ultimately have a biblical worldview
00:05:51.333 --> 00:05:54.603
And understand what's good for our nation.
00:05:54.603 --> 00:05:57.339
Yeah. pastor john, well said.
00:05:57.339 --> 00:05:58.974
And i think of a lot of these podcasts.
00:05:58.974 --> 00:06:00.910
I don't say a lot of them,
00:06:00.910 --> 00:06:01.977
But some of the more influential podcasters, sadly,
00:06:01.977 --> 00:06:04.914
They're historically ignorant,
00:06:04.914 --> 00:06:06.715
Theologically ignorant, geopolitically ignorant,
00:06:06.715 --> 00:06:09.285
And yet they've got very large followings.
00:06:09.285 --> 00:06:11.554
A guy like nick fuentes, who you mentioned,
00:06:11.554 --> 00:06:13.656
But you've said, look, podcasters are not pastors.
00:06:13.656 --> 00:06:16.892
They're not. it's a key. point, right?
00:06:16.892 --> 00:06:18.394
Talk about that. distinction.
00:06:18.394 --> 00:06:19.728
You know, it's
00:06:19.728 --> 00:06:20.830
At the end of the day that the podcaster is trying
00:06:20.830 --> 00:06:23.666
To become the number one podcast in a in the world.
00:06:23.666 --> 00:06:27.603
Yeah, right.
00:06:27.603 --> 00:06:28.771
And we have a person who recently did that.
00:06:28.771 --> 00:06:32.141
You know, candace owens, where she became number one
00:06:32.141 --> 00:06:35.945
Off the back of demonizing every person that was close to
00:06:35.945 --> 00:06:40.616
Charlie kirk and near and dear to turning point usa, podcasters
00:06:40.616 --> 00:06:45.287
Can often times become narcissistic.
00:06:45.287 --> 00:06:47.723
Yeah, the focus is on them and not christ and not god,
00:06:47.723 --> 00:06:52.127
But the pastor.
00:06:52.127 --> 00:06:53.295
The pastor is going to be there for you, to counsel you,
00:06:53.295 --> 00:06:55.664
To preach the word of god.
00:06:55.664 --> 00:06:57.266
The pastor is going to be the person that you know, does
00:06:57.266 --> 00:07:00.169
The christening for your baby.
00:07:00.169 --> 00:07:02.037
Yeah.
00:07:02.037 --> 00:07:03.138
That buries you and commit your body to the ground?
00:07:03.138 --> 00:07:06.408
Yeah.
00:07:06.408 --> 00:07:07.443
That supports your family when you're in need.
00:07:07.443 --> 00:07:09.512
And does that mean that all pastors are good?
00:07:09.512 --> 00:07:11.647
Of course not.
00:07:11.647 --> 00:07:12.481
You know,
00:07:12.481 --> 00:07:13.482
Paul said that after his departure
00:07:13.482 --> 00:07:15.618
That grievous wolves would come in not sparing the flock.
00:07:15.618 --> 00:07:19.922
And so all pastors aren't good, just like all podcasters
00:07:19.922 --> 00:07:23.425
You know are aren't good.
00:07:23.425 --> 00:07:25.094
But we have to make sure that the people that we listen to,
00:07:25.094 --> 00:07:29.832
The things that come through our ear gate and our eye gate.
00:07:29.832 --> 00:07:33.669
Yeah.
00:07:33.669 --> 00:07:34.370
These things get into our heart.
00:07:34.370 --> 00:07:36.839
And the bible says that out of
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:38.274
The abundance of the heart, the mouth will speak.
00:07:38.274 --> 00:07:42.144
And so we have a generation of young people parroting things
00:07:42.144 --> 00:07:45.314
That they don't understand. yeah.
00:07:45.314 --> 00:07:47.182
You know, they want to be groupers.
00:07:47.182 --> 00:07:49.318
They're being anti-semitic
00:07:49.318 --> 00:07:50.953
Because they heard this from their favorite podcaster.
00:07:50.953 --> 00:07:54.223
They're being chauvinistic towards women
00:07:54.223 --> 00:07:56.125
Because they've listening
00:07:56.125 --> 00:07:57.393
To the guys out there on the manosphere.
00:07:57.393 --> 00:07:59.328
Yeah.
00:07:59.328 --> 00:08:00.563
Find a local church.
00:08:00.563 --> 00:08:03.399
Find a pastor.
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:04.833
Submit to them.
00:08:04.833 --> 00:08:06.602
God said that he would give us
00:08:06.602 --> 00:08:07.636
Pastors after his heart that would feed the flock.
00:08:07.636 --> 00:08:11.774
That's necessary in this day.
00:08:11.774 --> 00:08:14.009
And that's the,
00:08:14.009 --> 00:08:15.444
The rift between the podcaster and the pastor.
00:08:16.345 --> 00:08:20.049
That has to be addressed because they aren't the same.
00:08:20.049 --> 00:08:23.552
Coming up after the break, how to move from.
00:08:24.486 --> 00:08:26.789
Outrage. to action.
00:08:26.789 --> 00:08:28.924
Pastor john amanchukwu lays out a blueprint for parents
00:08:28.924 --> 00:08:32.261
Ready to confront woke indoctrination head on.
00:08:32.261 --> 00:08:36.265
Don't move.
00:08:36.265 --> 00:08:40.995
Don't move.
00:08:40.995 --> 00:08:43.400
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, across the country,
00:08:44.501 --> 00:08:47.171
Parents are pushing back against radical gender
00:08:47.171 --> 00:08:50.207
Ideology in schools,
00:08:50.207 --> 00:08:51.575
And the fight
00:08:51.575 --> 00:08:52.676
Is quickly becoming one of the most consequential
00:08:52.676 --> 00:08:55.613
Cultural battles of our lifetime.
00:08:55.613 --> 00:08:58.015
We're back with pastor
00:08:58.015 --> 00:08:59.216
John amanchukwu who's been on the frontlines of that fight.
00:08:59.216 --> 00:09:02.753
Take a look.
00:09:02.753 --> 00:09:04.955
You have been the tip of the spear, pastor john.
00:09:04.955 --> 00:09:07.491
Really?
00:09:07.491 --> 00:09:08.392
In fighting back against the transgender
00:09:08.392 --> 00:09:10.861
Pro-gay, a woke ideology in our schools.
00:09:10.861 --> 00:09:14.365
They've got some exciting things planned on that front
00:09:14.365 --> 00:09:16.800
Coming up in january. tell us more about it.
00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:18.802
Yes, indeed.
00:09:18.802 --> 00:09:19.670
I've put together a masterclass.
00:09:19.670 --> 00:09:21.939
My wife and i recorded 23 interactive video sessions.
00:09:21.939 --> 00:09:26.510
There's a workbook that comes along with it as well.
00:09:26.510 --> 00:09:29.380
And we're going to teach you a
00:09:29.380 --> 00:09:30.748
To z how to reclaim schools and communities.
00:09:30.748 --> 00:09:35.185
If you're an everyday parent out there
00:09:35.185 --> 00:09:37.755
Who wants to arm yourself to know when dei and critical
00:09:37.755 --> 00:09:41.625
Race theory and gender theory and queer theory
00:09:41.625 --> 00:09:44.328
And all the things are being taught.
00:09:44.328 --> 00:09:45.863
If you want to understand
00:09:45.863 --> 00:09:47.331
Why it's being taught and how you can combat it,
00:09:47.331 --> 00:09:50.434
This is the master class for you.
00:09:50.434 --> 00:09:52.236
So all you have to do is go to i know god.us.
00:09:52.236 --> 00:09:55.706
That's i know god taught us to get a copy of it.
00:09:55.706 --> 00:09:58.909
The masterclass also teaches you how to coalesce
00:09:58.909 --> 00:10:02.513
And build networks.
00:10:02.513 --> 00:10:04.148
That's important,
00:10:04.148 --> 00:10:05.215
Especially if you want to run for school board.
00:10:05.215 --> 00:10:06.784
Yeah, and like minded parents who are against this madness.
00:10:06.784 --> 00:10:09.787
And indeed.
00:10:09.787 --> 00:10:10.721
Yeah, you know,
00:10:10.721 --> 00:10:11.855
The master class
00:10:11.855 --> 00:10:12.890
Also teaches you how to create a numbering system
00:10:12.890 --> 00:10:15.759
So that you can go against the ringleader on the board
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.463
And vote them out.
00:10:19.463 --> 00:10:21.065
And so what i've seen in the culture today
00:10:21.065 --> 00:10:24.101
Is that many people have created
00:10:24.101 --> 00:10:25.469
Master classes on this very topic,
00:10:25.469 --> 00:10:27.838
But not from a biblical worldview.
00:10:27.838 --> 00:10:29.573
And not from firsthand experience
00:10:29.573 --> 00:10:31.408
Like you have on the ground
00:10:31.408 --> 00:10:33.143
Traveling around the country taking on these woke school.
00:10:33.143 --> 00:10:35.379
Boards. this is true.
00:10:35.379 --> 00:10:36.613
You know,
00:10:36.613 --> 00:10:37.881
I've now traveled to 23 states, amassed over 300 million views.
00:10:37.881 --> 00:10:41.652
We've been able to flip school boards,
00:10:41.652 --> 00:10:43.520
Strike down transgender policies.
00:10:43.520 --> 00:10:45.656
Yeah, remove dozens of pornographic books.
00:10:45.656 --> 00:10:48.992
We've spurred on new movements.
00:10:48.992 --> 00:10:51.595
We've strengthened the spines of fathers.
00:10:51.595 --> 00:10:55.499
You know, the mama bears are tired.
00:10:55.499 --> 00:10:58.035
They're working hard.
00:10:58.035 --> 00:10:59.203
They're helping out with the curriculum.
00:10:59.203 --> 00:11:00.871
They're doing the projects.
00:11:00.871 --> 00:11:02.406
They're going the night before
00:11:02.406 --> 00:11:03.707
Because little johnny forgot to tell mommy about the project.
00:11:03.707 --> 00:11:07.311
So mom is upset and angry.
00:11:07.311 --> 00:11:09.880
You know, she's going up to walgreens. it to wall.
00:11:09.880 --> 00:11:12.583
All right.
00:11:12.583 --> 00:11:13.217
I've been there, you know?
00:11:13.217 --> 00:11:14.818
Yeah, right, i do.
00:11:14.818 --> 00:11:16.220
And you're sitting there like, son,
00:11:16.220 --> 00:11:17.654
You know, i have plans tonight. yes.
00:11:17.654 --> 00:11:19.490
Just read my book. yeah.
00:11:19.490 --> 00:11:21.525
And so,
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:22.926
The mama bears are tired, and so it's time for men
00:11:22.926 --> 00:11:26.196
To speak up and to stand up in the culture.
00:11:26.196 --> 00:11:28.398
You know, when i look at what happened to riley gaines
00:11:28.398 --> 00:11:31.635
Having to compete against a man,
00:11:31.635 --> 00:11:34.238
We have men going into women's restroom.
00:11:34.238 --> 00:11:36.740
The question is, at what point are fathers
00:11:36.740 --> 00:11:40.210
And dads going to say, not on my watch.
00:11:40.210 --> 00:11:43.213
You're not disenfranchized my child.
00:11:43.213 --> 00:11:46.016
You're not going to defraud my daughter.
00:11:46.016 --> 00:11:48.318
I think that women should not have to shoulder that burden.
00:11:48.318 --> 00:11:51.321
No. these a patriarch of your family lead,
00:11:51.321 --> 00:11:55.492
And there's no clear area that we can lead out in.
00:11:55.492 --> 00:11:59.530
Like going to school board meetings. yeah.
00:11:59.530 --> 00:12:01.698
Being present for the family.
00:12:01.698 --> 00:12:03.734
Dad speaking up.
00:12:03.734 --> 00:12:05.269
And i think when we do that
00:12:05.269 --> 00:12:07.070
There, we're going to see
00:12:07.070 --> 00:12:07.938
A true revival in the education system.
00:12:07.938 --> 00:12:10.073
And pastor john, do you see that stirring a bit?
00:12:10.073 --> 00:12:12.442
I mean, we've it seems like there's rumblings of revival.
00:12:12.442 --> 00:12:15.579
It seems, thanks in large part to your work.
00:12:15.579 --> 00:12:18.782
Parents are awake around the country, not woke.
00:12:18.782 --> 00:12:21.218
They're awake to the world today.
00:12:21.218 --> 00:12:23.320
Do you see that?
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:24.188
Do you see that
00:12:24.188 --> 00:12:25.255
We're gaining ground in this fight against the woke
00:12:25.255 --> 00:12:27.191
Madness in our schools in particular?
00:12:27.191 --> 00:12:29.393
Yes, i do, you know, tone from the top matters.
00:12:29.393 --> 00:12:33.297
Yeah, we have that in president trump.
00:12:33.297 --> 00:12:35.532
I mean, within the first couple of months,
00:12:35.532 --> 00:12:37.467
He came out and said that
00:12:37.467 --> 00:12:38.535
We're only going to recognize, you know, two sexes.
00:12:38.535 --> 00:12:41.305
Imagine that.
00:12:41.305 --> 00:12:43.373
You know, we have 72 different pronouns today. now.
00:12:42.306 --> 00:12:46.577
Yeah. it's it's it's it's insane.
00:12:46.577 --> 00:12:48.378
And we don't demonize people who are going through
00:12:48.378 --> 00:12:51.615
Gender dysphoria. yeah.
00:12:51.615 --> 00:12:53.217
And gender confusion.
00:12:53.217 --> 00:12:54.651
You know, that's a real issue. that's a real problem. yeah.
00:12:54.651 --> 00:12:57.521
And we want to support you with getting the help that you need.
00:12:57.521 --> 00:13:00.991
But we shouldn't rewrite the script.
00:13:00.991 --> 00:13:03.760
Now for a group of people who are just confused about who
00:13:03.760 --> 00:13:07.497
They are.
00:13:07.497 --> 00:13:08.465
Yes. you know, my son isn't confused, right?
00:13:08.465 --> 00:13:10.801
But just because yours is, don't project that onto all kids.
00:13:10.801 --> 00:13:14.938
And yes, we're seeing revival
00:13:14.938 --> 00:13:16.840
Bible sales are at an all time high.
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.409
Yeah, church attendance is up and all of that was spurred on.
00:13:19.409 --> 00:13:23.480
Also with the martyrdom of charlie was, you know,
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:27.584
One of the worst things
00:13:27.584 --> 00:13:28.652
That they could have done to jesus was kill him.
00:13:28.652 --> 00:13:31.555
Yeah.
00:13:31.555 --> 00:13:32.289
The bible says,
00:13:32.289 --> 00:13:33.423
And i if i be lifted up, i'll draw all men on to me.
00:13:33.423 --> 00:13:37.227
If you kill me,
00:13:37.227 --> 00:13:39.162
Then ultimately people are going to be drawn towards me.
00:13:39.162 --> 00:13:42.165
I should have never put him on the cross.
00:13:42.165 --> 00:13:44.234
I felt the same way about charlie kirk.
00:13:44.234 --> 00:13:46.370
Am i saying that he's just like christ?
00:13:46.370 --> 00:13:48.005
No, but i am saying that marching dumb
00:13:48.005 --> 00:13:51.742
Has a unique way of fueling the church.
00:13:51.742 --> 00:13:56.413
Yeah, the bride of christ gives attention to martyrdom.
00:13:56.413 --> 00:14:00.951
Stephen, the first martyrs, the apostle paul.
00:14:00.951 --> 00:14:04.354
Saul at that time was present.
00:14:04.354 --> 00:14:05.989
When that took place.
00:14:05.989 --> 00:14:07.591
That thing stayed with him.
00:14:07.591 --> 00:14:09.559
Yeah, until he was on the road of damascus.
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:12.429
And ultimately he had an encounter with jesus christ.
00:14:12.429 --> 00:14:15.599
Yes. i think that the blood of charlie kirk
00:14:15.599 --> 00:14:19.069
And the bullet that nicked president
00:14:19.069 --> 00:14:22.005
Trump's ear but connected in charlie's neck,
00:14:22.005 --> 00:14:26.176
That situation
00:14:26.510 --> 00:14:28.578
Has spurred on revival, and we want to build upon that.
00:14:28.578 --> 00:14:32.683
We want to see that revival grow and continue
00:14:32.683 --> 00:14:36.453
To push men and women, men and women towards the cross.
00:14:36.453 --> 00:14:40.324
Up next, seth gruber connects
00:14:40.958 --> 00:14:42.492
The disturbing dots between abortion, gender
00:14:42.492 --> 00:14:45.562
Ideology, cultural marxism and the collapse of the family.
00:14:45.562 --> 00:14:49.533
Get his unfiltered take on what's really destroying
00:14:49.533 --> 00:14:52.502
The west.
00:14:52.502 --> 00:14:53.303
Next.
00:14:53.303 --> 00:14:57.992
Next.
00:14:57.992 --> 00:15:00.548
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight,
00:15:01.315 --> 00:15:02.850
As tens of thousands of people prepare to converge
00:15:02.850 --> 00:15:06.020
On washington, d.c.
00:15:06.020 --> 00:15:07.054
For the march for life
00:15:07.054 --> 00:15:08.222
On january 23rd, the fight over abortion
00:15:08.222 --> 00:15:11.692
Is once again front and center in america's cultural battle.
00:15:11.692 --> 00:15:15.162
Seth gruber,
00:15:15.162 --> 00:15:16.297
Founder of the white rose resistance, says defending
00:15:16.297 --> 00:15:19.066
The unborn is a defining issue of our time.
00:15:19.066 --> 00:15:23.070
He sat down with me at turning points am first to share why.
00:15:23.070 --> 00:15:27.675
Seth gruber,
00:15:28.009 --> 00:15:29.176
Always great be with you my friend here at am fest 2025.
00:15:29.176 --> 00:15:32.079
A lot going on and one issue that
00:15:32.079 --> 00:15:33.948
You've been at the forefront of is the issue of a life.
00:15:33.948 --> 00:15:37.718
And we see some people stressing that issue here at an office,
00:15:37.718 --> 00:15:41.689
Which is great.
00:15:41.689 --> 00:15:42.923
But you've talked about us being in a civilizational struggle
00:15:42.923 --> 00:15:47.161
And we've had a lot of momentum.
00:15:47.161 --> 00:15:48.496
President trump wins and good things happening.
00:15:48.496 --> 00:15:50.564
But there are some warning signs for sure.
00:15:50.564 --> 00:15:52.900
Seth, break it down a bit more.
00:15:52.900 --> 00:15:54.001
What we should be concerned about erick.
00:15:54.001 --> 00:15:55.269
So good to be with someone slightly taller than me.
00:15:55.269 --> 00:15:57.071
I look up to you quite literally.
00:15:57.071 --> 00:15:58.472
I'm listening.
00:15:58.472 --> 00:15:59.673
You can't like you can't just kill babies in perpetuity.
00:15:59.673 --> 00:16:01.609
Like, it's cute to be like, well,
00:16:01.609 --> 00:16:03.611
We have the pro-life movement
00:16:03.611 --> 00:16:04.645
And then we have the anti marxism movement.
00:16:04.645 --> 00:16:06.147
Then we have the anti-trans movement,
00:16:06.147 --> 00:16:07.381
Then we have the pro-family rights movement,
00:16:07.381 --> 00:16:08.849
The parental rights movement.
00:16:08.849 --> 00:16:09.884
And then it's like,
00:16:09.884 --> 00:16:10.951
That's cute to like deal with things like that.
00:16:10.951 --> 00:16:12.887
That's not how the world works.
00:16:12.887 --> 00:16:14.021
Like all those things you can't take out your abortion
00:16:14.021 --> 00:16:15.923
Box and be like, okay, how did that happen?
00:16:15.923 --> 00:16:18.092
And then take out your trans box and how did that happen?
00:16:18.092 --> 00:16:20.361
And then take out your critical race theory box?
00:16:20.361 --> 00:16:21.962
And how did that happen?
00:16:21.962 --> 00:16:23.230
That's not how ideologies work. it's not how worldviews work.
00:16:23.230 --> 00:16:25.499
It's all freaking interconnected.
00:16:25.499 --> 00:16:27.034
It always has been.
00:16:27.034 --> 00:16:28.102
And what the church doesn't realize is we deal.
00:16:28.102 --> 00:16:30.204
Schaefer talked about this in the 70s, francis
00:16:30.204 --> 00:16:32.840
Schaefer, that the church tends to deal in bits and pieces
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:36.110
Rather than totals. right.
00:16:36.110 --> 00:16:38.179
And seeing the underlying worldviews,
00:16:38.179 --> 00:16:40.714
One that built this republic, or two that are laying siege
00:16:40.714 --> 00:16:44.185
To the foundations of the republic.
00:16:44.185 --> 00:16:45.786
And so one of the things that people love about us
00:16:45.786 --> 00:16:47.655
At the white rose resistance
00:16:47.655 --> 00:16:49.223
Is we don't just say, don't kill babies.
00:16:49.223 --> 00:16:50.858
It's like, well, hey, man, if you think
00:16:50.858 --> 00:16:51.959
You should get kill babies.
00:16:51.959 --> 00:16:53.194
And that's a wonderful thing. you're just an idiot. that,
00:16:53.194 --> 00:16:55.229
What people appreciate about us is that we show
00:16:56.163 --> 00:16:57.865
How it's all connected
00:16:57.865 --> 00:16:59.500
To cultural marxism, to the war on the west,
00:16:59.500 --> 00:17:01.502
To the redefinition of the family,
00:17:01.502 --> 00:17:02.703
To the trans and the gender bending.
00:17:02.703 --> 00:17:04.171
That's all one thing.
00:17:04.171 --> 00:17:05.806
They would call intersectionality.
00:17:05.806 --> 00:17:07.508
I said, this is true intersectionality.
00:17:07.508 --> 00:17:09.610
I guess there's an intersection.
00:17:09.610 --> 00:17:10.845
That's what they call layovers between all these ideologies.
00:17:10.845 --> 00:17:13.147
Right.
00:17:13.147 --> 00:17:14.081
And so, yes, like roe v wade overturned,
00:17:14.081 --> 00:17:15.483
Praise god this is all wonderful.
00:17:15.483 --> 00:17:16.784
And listen, i voted for the men tweeting orange man.
00:17:16.784 --> 00:17:18.819
That was very easy.
00:17:18.819 --> 00:17:19.687
It was either that or jezebel harris.
00:17:19.687 --> 00:17:21.122
That's not a difficult decision.
00:17:21.122 --> 00:17:22.623
But like i've lost donors erick for like going after trump
00:17:22.623 --> 00:17:25.359
When he was like ivf where i'm on the big daddy of ivf or,
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:28.395
You know, they're still pushing the abortion
00:17:28.395 --> 00:17:29.730
Pill under this trump administration.
00:17:29.730 --> 00:17:31.532
You cannot continue to do that.
00:17:31.532 --> 00:17:33.367
Okay. let me put it this way.
00:17:33.367 --> 00:17:34.502
A conservative movement that does not prioritize
00:17:34.502 --> 00:17:37.771
The total and complete abolition of abortion
00:17:37.771 --> 00:17:40.007
As its highest political priority
00:17:40.007 --> 00:17:41.842
Will one day wake up and find that
00:17:41.842 --> 00:17:43.277
There's nothing left to conserve. yeah.
00:17:43.277 --> 00:17:45.679
If you if you don't get the right to life, right,
00:17:45.679 --> 00:17:47.481
You won't get any other rights, right? right.
00:17:47.481 --> 00:17:49.250
Yeah.
00:17:49.250 --> 00:17:50.084
Like that's actually really simple.
00:17:50.084 --> 00:17:51.218
Those who murder the unborn cannot be trusted
00:17:51.218 --> 00:17:52.920
To govern the board. right.
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:54.121
And those who murder the unborn will one day murder you too.
00:17:54.121 --> 00:17:56.390
And so i think a lot of people are starting to realize
00:17:56.390 --> 00:17:58.092
It's like,
00:17:58.092 --> 00:17:58.926
Oh, wow, we've been killing babies
00:17:58.926 --> 00:18:00.161
In the name of radical feminism for so long
00:18:00.161 --> 00:18:02.363
That now we have politicians who are sitting in a hollowed
00:18:02.363 --> 00:18:05.966
Out institution
00:18:05.966 --> 00:18:07.001
Who don't even believe in, celebrate,
00:18:07.001 --> 00:18:09.270
Or stand on the fundamental
00:18:09.270 --> 00:18:10.838
Premises have built this republic in the first place.
00:18:10.838 --> 00:18:13.140
It's been said that,
00:18:13.140 --> 00:18:14.408
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
00:18:14.408 --> 00:18:16.877
But, erick, it's also true
00:18:17.444 --> 00:18:18.612
That the hand that wrecks the cradle ruins the world.
00:18:18.612 --> 00:18:22.383
Notice one of our most divisive political issues,
00:18:22.383 --> 00:18:24.752
The ones that have americans so concerned right now.
00:18:24.752 --> 00:18:26.754
Isn't it always family issues?
00:18:26.754 --> 00:18:28.522
Yeah.
00:18:28.522 --> 00:18:29.490
See, attacking the dismantling of definition
00:18:29.490 --> 00:18:31.258
Is a spiritual battle
00:18:31.258 --> 00:18:32.326
Because the family is the original origin story.
00:18:32.326 --> 00:18:35.162
Is adam and eve, not adam and steve.
00:18:35.162 --> 00:18:37.531
Heterosexual sex it procreate? yes.
00:18:37.531 --> 00:18:40.568
And when man and woman unite in an act
00:18:40.568 --> 00:18:42.670
So comprehensive and unitive that sometimes
00:18:42.670 --> 00:18:45.139
Nine months later, it requires a name,
00:18:45.139 --> 00:18:47.775
These are fundamental foundational issues.
00:18:47.775 --> 00:18:50.177
Amen.
00:18:50.177 --> 00:18:51.111
And that's why you're making a great new
00:18:51.111 --> 00:18:51.879
Film called the last stand.
00:18:51.879 --> 00:18:53.714
Seth.
00:18:53.714 --> 00:18:54.648
Coinciding with america's 250th birthday.
00:18:54.648 --> 00:18:57.051
That's right.
00:18:57.051 --> 00:18:58.018
Tell us about the film, why you made it so.
00:18:58.018 --> 00:18:59.753
Psalm 88:12.
00:18:59.753 --> 00:19:01.455
Erick basically says righteousness
00:19:01.455 --> 00:19:04.225
Cannot be done in a land of forgetfulness.
00:19:04.225 --> 00:19:07.061
Have you ever heard that bible verse before?
00:19:07.962 --> 00:19:09.997
Man, isn't that beautiful?
00:19:09.997 --> 00:19:11.232
A beautiful righteousness cannot be done.
00:19:11.232 --> 00:19:14.101
See, in a land of forgetfulness and in the silver chair.
00:19:14.101 --> 00:19:18.906
Penultimate sanity audiobook.
00:19:18.906 --> 00:19:20.841
Yeah, yeah,
00:19:20.841 --> 00:19:21.942
Aslan tells jill paul, i'm going to send you to narnia.
00:19:21.942 --> 00:19:24.278
Free the prince, break the spell, free the land.
00:19:24.278 --> 00:19:26.780
But to accomplish this mission,
00:19:26.780 --> 00:19:28.716
You need to remember, remember, remember the signs.
00:19:28.716 --> 00:19:32.519
Remember the signs?
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:33.454
Yeah.
00:19:33.454 --> 00:19:34.121
Those markers from history,
00:19:34.121 --> 00:19:35.623
Those signs to us
00:19:35.623 --> 00:19:36.957
When we're flourishing
00:19:36.957 --> 00:19:38.058
Or when we're about to enter a deep and dark chapter.
00:19:38.058 --> 00:19:40.261
And we've missed the signs of history
00:19:40.261 --> 00:19:41.962
Because we forgot you.
00:19:41.962 --> 00:19:43.030
We are the glorious history of christian resistance
00:19:43.030 --> 00:19:46.700
Is that wherever the gospel was proclaimed,
00:19:46.700 --> 00:19:49.470
Social transformation followed
00:19:49.470 --> 00:19:51.305
For the first 1900 years of church history,
00:19:51.305 --> 00:19:54.074
Up until about the beginning of the 20th century,
00:19:54.074 --> 00:19:56.443
Is christian standing against the trans cult,
00:19:56.443 --> 00:19:58.979
The sexualizing of killed, the castrating of kids,
00:19:58.979 --> 00:20:01.949
Drag queen story.
00:20:01.949 --> 00:20:02.850
You know, drag queen story hour
00:20:02.850 --> 00:20:04.118
Was happening in the palais royale of the french revolution.
00:20:04.118 --> 00:20:07.154
It's like none of this is new state trying to raise your kid
00:20:07.154 --> 00:20:10.057
Because they're a better parent, right?
00:20:10.057 --> 00:20:11.358
That's diocletian that comes from caligula.
00:20:11.358 --> 00:20:14.061
Yeah, right.
00:20:14.061 --> 00:20:15.129
The emperor who during the events of the book of acts.
00:20:15.129 --> 00:20:17.164
We don't know any of this freaking stuff, erick.
00:20:17.164 --> 00:20:19.199
Every single super concerning, anti-family, demonic
00:20:19.199 --> 00:20:22.803
Evil facing the west right now,
00:20:22.803 --> 00:20:24.271
The church has faced over 1900 years.
00:20:24.271 --> 00:20:26.073
And so that's what our film
00:20:26.073 --> 00:20:27.174
The last stand is about is reclaiming.
00:20:27.174 --> 00:20:29.009
And remember, remember, remember our glorious heritage
00:20:29.009 --> 00:20:33.681
That built western civilization by firstly stopping the baby
00:20:33.681 --> 00:20:38.252
Killing, stopping free love and restoring the family.
00:20:38.252 --> 00:20:42.589
It's really that simple. amazing. the films out in june.
00:20:42.589 --> 00:20:45.392
And june
00:20:45.392 --> 00:20:46.560
At the last stand festival and the movies the last stand.
00:20:46.560 --> 00:20:50.564
So even go to the last stand.com, the last stand.com
00:20:50.564 --> 00:20:53.767
June 5th and sixth in denver. alley. best.
00:20:53.767 --> 00:20:55.803
Stuckey. frank turek.
00:20:55.803 --> 00:20:57.471
Pastor rob mccoy. oh, wow.
00:20:57.471 --> 00:21:00.040
A lot more.
00:21:00.374 --> 00:21:01.408
I forgot everybody that we're premiering the film
00:21:01.408 --> 00:21:03.210
At a red carpet premiere at the end of the day,
00:21:03.210 --> 00:21:05.079
And that any church in the world could host
00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:07.081
A screening of the film the very next day.
00:21:07.081 --> 00:21:09.516
And that'll be the only way to watch the film
00:21:09.516 --> 00:21:11.185
Till we go to streaming partners. incredible.
00:21:11.185 --> 00:21:13.053
So thanks for making it.
00:21:13.053 --> 00:21:14.221
We can't wait to see it. thanks for all your great work.
00:21:14.221 --> 00:21:15.556
Keep it up my friend. god bless you.
00:21:15.556 --> 00:21:18.292
Up next, my final thoughts.
00:21:18.292 --> 00:21:19.927
What does the bible say about men, women and gender ideology?
00:21:19.927 --> 00:21:25.332
I'll break that down next.
00:21:25.332 --> 00:21:30.996
I'll break that down next.
00:21:30.996 --> 00:21:33.547
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
00:21:34.415 --> 00:21:36.217
As we wrap up here, i'm just thinking
00:21:36.217 --> 00:21:37.918
We were apparently so enlightened in 2026
00:21:37.918 --> 00:21:41.288
That we are questioning what a woman is.
00:21:41.288 --> 00:21:44.392
We're injecting men,
00:21:44.392 --> 00:21:45.760
Biological males, into women's and girls sports,
00:21:45.760 --> 00:21:48.763
And the left seems to think they have all the answers
00:21:48.763 --> 00:21:51.966
When it comes to gender.
00:21:51.966 --> 00:21:53.401
Actually, they're creating new answers and new questions.
00:21:53.401 --> 00:21:56.570
But the book of genesis will take it all the way back.
00:21:56.570 --> 00:21:59.273
Laid it down from the beginning.
00:21:59.273 --> 00:22:00.841
Chapter five, verses one and two.
00:22:00.841 --> 00:22:02.543
This is the written account
00:22:02.543 --> 00:22:04.712
Of adam's family line when god created mankind,
00:22:04.712 --> 00:22:08.516
He made them in the likeness of god.
00:22:08.516 --> 00:22:11.252
He created them male and female.
00:22:11.252 --> 00:22:13.854
Key point there and bless them, any name that mankind,
00:22:13.854 --> 00:22:17.958
When they were created, jesus takes it further.
00:22:17.958 --> 00:22:20.795
Gospel of mark, chapter ten, verses 6 to 9.
00:22:20.795 --> 00:22:23.597
But at the beginning of creation he says, god made them male
00:22:23.597 --> 00:22:27.168
And female.
00:22:27.168 --> 00:22:28.002
For this reason,
00:22:28.002 --> 00:22:29.470
A man will leave his father
00:22:29.470 --> 00:22:31.305
And mother and be united to his wife,
00:22:31.305 --> 00:22:33.874
And the two will become one flesh.
00:22:33.874 --> 00:22:36.911
So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
00:22:36.911 --> 00:22:40.514
Therefore what god has joined together, let no one separate.
00:22:40.514 --> 00:22:46.053
Well, in school districts and in workplaces around the nation,
00:22:46.053 --> 00:22:50.224
People are trying to separate what god has put together.
00:22:50.224 --> 00:22:53.661
Thank god president trump is stepping in here.
00:22:53.661 --> 00:22:56.864
The executive order was big one year ago today,
00:22:56.864 --> 00:22:59.700
And he continues to advocate for women and girls
00:22:59.700 --> 00:23:03.571
And women's sports.
00:23:03.571 --> 00:23:04.805
But folks, it's a tough fight and the left is not going down
00:23:04.805 --> 00:23:08.375
Without one.
00:23:08.375 --> 00:23:09.510
Hey, speaking of which, that extends to the middle east.
00:23:09.510 --> 00:23:12.279
Emily schrader is here with us
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:13.547
Tomorrow talking all things iran.
00:23:13.547 --> 00:23:15.716
What's the latest there?
00:23:15.716 --> 00:23:17.184
As protests continue to rage until then, god bless you
00:23:17.184 --> 00:23:21.222
And we'll see you soon.
00:23:21.722 --> 00:23:21.722
