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: U.S./Iran Deal Stalls | Stakelbeck Tonight | May 11, 2026
  • Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:00:03.393 --> 00:00:05.128
  • I'm erick stakelbeck.
  • 00:00:05.128 --> 00:00:06.129
  • And the iran cease fire is on life support.
  • 00:00:06.129 --> 00:00:10.200
  • Those are president trump's words.
  • 00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:12.302
  • After iran's regime sent back a response to his proposed deal
  • 00:00:12.302 --> 00:00:16.039
  • To end the war.
  • 00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:17.240
  • Trump called the response completely unacceptable
  • 00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:20.243
  • And made clear today that he is not going to blink
  • 00:00:20.243 --> 00:00:23.346
  • In the face of the mullahs antics.
  • 00:00:23.346 --> 00:00:25.915
  • Watch.
  • 00:00:25.915 --> 00:00:26.950
  • Very simple.
  • 00:00:26.950 --> 00:00:27.784
  • Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
  • 00:00:27.784 --> 00:00:30.753
  • You can't have it.
  • 00:00:30.753 --> 00:00:31.888
  • And if they did have it, the middle east would be gone.
  • 00:00:31.888 --> 00:00:33.990
  • Israel would be gone and then hit europe probably next.
  • 00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:37.160
  • We're doing the service to the world.
  • 00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:39.429
  • And this has gone on for 47 years.
  • 00:00:39.429 --> 00:00:41.431
  • Other presidents and leaders of other countries
  • 00:00:41.431 --> 00:00:44.100
  • That have the power should have done it,
  • 00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:46.202
  • But they didn't do it.
  • 00:00:46.202 --> 00:00:47.370
  • But it's a very simple plan.
  • 00:00:47.370 --> 00:00:49.772
  • Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,
  • 00:00:49.772 --> 00:00:51.374
  • And they won't have a nuclear weapon as it is the president.
  • 00:00:51.374 --> 00:00:53.843
  • They didn't want to go that far.
  • 00:00:53.843 --> 00:00:55.712
  • You can believe it.
  • 00:00:56.179 --> 00:00:57.514
  • They didn't.
  • 00:00:57.514 --> 00:00:58.314
  • How stupid are they? stupid people.
  • 00:00:58.314 --> 00:01:00.550
  • They didn't want to.
  • 00:01:00.550 --> 00:01:01.618
  • If they think that. well, i'll get tired of this.
  • 00:01:01.618 --> 00:01:03.686
  • I'll get bored. i'll have some pressure.
  • 00:01:03.686 --> 00:01:05.155
  • But there's no pressure.
  • 00:01:05.155 --> 00:01:06.523
  • There's no pressure at all.
  • 00:01:06.523 --> 00:01:08.324
  • We're going to have a complete victory.
  • 00:01:08.324 --> 00:01:11.661
  • He knows he has all the leverage.
  • 00:01:12.395 --> 00:01:14.731
  • Now the president is outraged, first and foremost,
  • 00:01:14.731 --> 00:01:17.634
  • Because iran's
  • 00:01:17.634 --> 00:01:19.068
  • Proposal did not even mention its nuclear program.
  • 00:01:19.068 --> 00:01:22.772
  • Give us sanctions relief and full control
  • 00:01:22.772 --> 00:01:25.441
  • Of the strait of hormuz, they say.
  • 00:01:25.441 --> 00:01:27.377
  • And maybe we'll discuss nukes at a later date.
  • 00:01:27.377 --> 00:01:31.214
  • You can see why the president said, no thanks, folks.
  • 00:01:31.214 --> 00:01:34.350
  • This regime has been
  • 00:01:34.350 --> 00:01:35.518
  • Playing games for 47 years and strung along seven u.s.
  • 00:01:35.518 --> 00:01:38.988
  • Presidents before trump.
  • 00:01:38.988 --> 00:01:40.924
  • But the time of reckoning is now at hand.
  • 00:01:40.924 --> 00:01:43.726
  • The u.s.
  • 00:01:43.726 --> 00:01:44.227
  • And israeli militaries
  • 00:01:44.227 --> 00:01:45.428
  • Are on high alert to resume striking iran and president
  • 00:01:45.428 --> 00:01:48.932
  • Trump will have a lot to discuss with jinping on his visit
  • 00:01:48.932 --> 00:01:52.702
  • To china later this week, because what happens with iran
  • 00:01:52.702 --> 00:01:56.372
  • Will have larger implications globally.
  • 00:01:56.372 --> 00:01:59.475
  • We've already seen how the iran war has exposed
  • 00:01:59.475 --> 00:02:01.778
  • A europe as weak and vulnerable, especially the united kingdom.
  • 00:02:01.778 --> 00:02:06.216
  • But some good news on that front.
  • 00:02:06.216 --> 00:02:08.451
  • Left wing prime minister keir starmer's
  • 00:02:08.451 --> 00:02:11.054
  • Labor party suffered a huge blow this weekend, losing over
  • 00:02:11.054 --> 00:02:15.325
  • 1000 seats in local elections nationwide.
  • 00:02:15.325 --> 00:02:19.429
  • It was a massive
  • 00:02:19.429 --> 00:02:20.964
  • Rebuke of starmer's woke pro islam policies,
  • 00:02:20.964 --> 00:02:24.734
  • And there are now calls for him to step down as prime minister.
  • 00:02:24.734 --> 00:02:29.072
  • But starmer is still hanging on.
  • 00:02:29.072 --> 00:02:31.307
  • Today he announced that he will ban
  • 00:02:31.307 --> 00:02:33.376
  • Several conservative politicians and commentators
  • 00:02:33.376 --> 00:02:36.779
  • From entering britain
  • 00:02:36.779 --> 00:02:37.981
  • For a huge patriotic rally being held in london on may 16th
  • 00:02:37.981 --> 00:02:42.452
  • And organized by tommy robinson, who you've seen here
  • 00:02:42.452 --> 00:02:45.588
  • On the show.
  • 00:02:45.588 --> 00:02:46.823
  • Here's more from starmer.
  • 00:02:46.823 --> 00:02:48.992
  • And you'll see it again on saturday
  • 00:02:48.992 --> 00:02:51.060
  • At a march designed to confront an internet.
  • 00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:54.931
  • This diversity and this diverse country.
  • 00:02:54.931 --> 00:02:58.334
  • That is why this labor government will block far
  • 00:02:59.302 --> 00:03:01.471
  • Right agitators from traveling to britain for that event,
  • 00:03:01.471 --> 00:03:04.741
  • Because we will.
  • 00:03:04.741 --> 00:03:05.875
  • Not allow people to come to the uk protesting opponents
  • 00:03:05.875 --> 00:03:08.878
  • To isolate hate on our streets.
  • 00:03:08.878 --> 00:03:20.490
  • This is nothing less than a battle
  • 00:03:21.224 --> 00:03:24.827
  • For the soul of our nation.
  • 00:03:24.827 --> 00:03:28.298
  • Far right agitators.
  • 00:03:28.298 --> 00:03:30.600
  • Starmer has no problem allowing droves of radical
  • 00:03:30.600 --> 00:03:34.370
  • Islamists into the uk who openly undermine the country.
  • 00:03:34.370 --> 00:03:38.574
  • But he draws the line at conservatives.
  • 00:03:38.574 --> 00:03:41.778
  • This left wing mini tyrant
  • 00:03:41.778 --> 00:03:43.880
  • Act is exactly why his party was pummeled at the polls.
  • 00:03:43.880 --> 00:03:47.984
  • But something tells me starmer won't learn his lesson.
  • 00:03:47.984 --> 00:03:51.487
  • The uk is a cautionary tale for america, folks.
  • 00:03:51.487 --> 00:03:55.358
  • We'll talk more about that.
  • 00:03:55.358 --> 00:03:56.492
  • And the latest on iran with brigitte gabriel next.
  • 00:03:56.492 --> 00:04:17.380
  • From war in
  • 00:04:17.714 --> 00:04:18.781
  • Iran to islamist on the rise right here at home.
  • 00:04:18.781 --> 00:04:22.018
  • The threat to western civilization is real.
  • 00:04:22.018 --> 00:04:24.954
  • And present.
  • 00:04:24.954 --> 00:04:26.289
  • Rishi gabriel, national security expert
  • 00:04:26.289 --> 00:04:28.257
  • And founder of act for america, joins us now with the latest on
  • 00:04:28.257 --> 00:04:32.061
  • The rapidly escalating situation in the middle east and beyond.
  • 00:04:32.061 --> 00:04:35.865
  • Bridget, always great to have you with us.
  • 00:04:35.865 --> 00:04:37.967
  • Hey, president trump said about the iranian regime's response
  • 00:04:37.967 --> 00:04:40.837
  • To his proposal that it was unacceptable.
  • 00:04:40.837 --> 00:04:44.173
  • Apparently, the iranian regime didn't
  • 00:04:44.173 --> 00:04:45.975
  • Even mention the nuclear program.
  • 00:04:45.975 --> 00:04:47.810
  • But they want sanctions relief.
  • 00:04:47.810 --> 00:04:49.645
  • They want the strait of hormuz all to themselves.
  • 00:04:49.645 --> 00:04:52.682
  • This has been going on now for 47 years.
  • 00:04:52.682 --> 00:04:55.184
  • Do you think it's kind of endgame
  • 00:04:55.184 --> 00:04:56.886
  • And that president trump
  • 00:04:56.886 --> 00:04:58.121
  • Is about to say enough is enough in dealing with the mullahs?
  • 00:04:58.121 --> 00:05:01.591
  • Well, president trump is on to them.
  • 00:05:02.358 --> 00:05:04.460
  • And, if this is showing us one thing, it's showing us
  • 00:05:04.460 --> 00:05:08.297
  • That really the irgc is behind,
  • 00:05:08.297 --> 00:05:12.101
  • Whatever, and the negotiations.
  • 00:05:12.101 --> 00:05:15.104
  • So they may send their representatives, the president,
  • 00:05:15.104 --> 00:05:17.473
  • The prime minister, etc., who's dealing with the united states.
  • 00:05:17.473 --> 00:05:21.344
  • Yet at the end of the day, it's the irgc
  • 00:05:21.344 --> 00:05:23.746
  • Who is putting the influence and the pressure on basically
  • 00:05:23.746 --> 00:05:27.016
  • Making the decisions and trying to, influence
  • 00:05:27.016 --> 00:05:30.219
  • Policy with the united states.
  • 00:05:30.219 --> 00:05:31.754
  • President trump is onto them.
  • 00:05:31.754 --> 00:05:33.356
  • He understands what's going on.
  • 00:05:33.356 --> 00:05:34.991
  • And president trump, his number one request has been always,
  • 00:05:34.991 --> 00:05:39.662
  • Making sure that we have the material
  • 00:05:39.662 --> 00:05:42.131
  • The the the enriched uranium is that they have to move it
  • 00:05:42.131 --> 00:05:45.435
  • To a secure place because we do not want that
  • 00:05:45.435 --> 00:05:47.737
  • Material under the iranians.
  • 00:05:47.737 --> 00:05:49.205
  • And we know that they already have, 1,000
  • 00:05:49.205 --> 00:05:52.775
  • Pounds of enriched uranium, up to 60%,
  • 00:05:52.775 --> 00:05:57.213
  • A level,
  • 00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:58.648
  • It's very easy to move it very fast to the 90% level.
  • 00:05:58.648 --> 00:06:02.585
  • The iranians already said, previously
  • 00:06:02.585 --> 00:06:05.321
  • That they have enough material to make 11 bombs.
  • 00:06:05.321 --> 00:06:07.990
  • President trump is not going to allow that.
  • 00:06:07.990 --> 00:06:10.660
  • That's his number one goal is to be able
  • 00:06:10.660 --> 00:06:13.162
  • To bring that material out of iran
  • 00:06:13.162 --> 00:06:14.964
  • And into the united states, or somewhere safe.
  • 00:06:14.964 --> 00:06:17.567
  • Now we are monitoring the material.
  • 00:06:17.567 --> 00:06:19.869
  • We know exactly where it is.
  • 00:06:19.869 --> 00:06:22.672
  • Who's getting in and who's getting out?
  • 00:06:22.672 --> 00:06:24.106
  • Nobody's getting anywhere near it, by the way.
  • 00:06:24.106 --> 00:06:26.542
  • We're monitoring that
  • 00:06:26.542 --> 00:06:27.610
  • Through our space, military, our space satellites.
  • 00:06:27.610 --> 00:06:31.714
  • So, as president trump said, we can tell,
  • 00:06:31.714 --> 00:06:34.917
  • The badge, the name of the person.
  • 00:06:34.917 --> 00:06:36.652
  • If anybody gets close to with where he lives,
  • 00:06:36.652 --> 00:06:39.388
  • His name, his full name, his badge number.
  • 00:06:39.388 --> 00:06:41.824
  • So it is safe at this point, but president trump
  • 00:06:41.824 --> 00:06:44.727
  • Is not going to let go until the iranians,
  • 00:06:44.727 --> 00:06:48.331
  • Basically, give us the material.
  • 00:06:48.331 --> 00:06:51.100
  • If they don't, president trump
  • 00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:52.835
  • Will do whatever he has to do militarily
  • 00:06:52.835 --> 00:06:55.037
  • To secure that uranium. yeah. bridget.
  • 00:06:55.037 --> 00:06:57.373
  • Well said. he's not going to blink president trump.
  • 00:06:57.373 --> 00:06:59.842
  • He's been remarkably consistent on this.
  • 00:06:59.842 --> 00:07:02.111
  • Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
  • 00:07:02.111 --> 00:07:04.280
  • Weapon, by the way.
  • 00:07:04.280 --> 00:07:05.414
  • They won't be enriching uranium anymore either.
  • 00:07:05.414 --> 00:07:08.317
  • Hey, speaking of iran, iran's chief proxy, hezbollah
  • 00:07:08.317 --> 00:07:12.088
  • Major blow bridges over the past 24 hours, the idf has taken
  • 00:07:12.088 --> 00:07:16.459
  • Control of bint jbeil, which is a real hezbollah
  • 00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:20.029
  • Stronghold in the south of that country.
  • 00:07:20.029 --> 00:07:21.964
  • Sheikh hassan nasrallah, the not so dearly departed
  • 00:07:21.964 --> 00:07:25.268
  • Hezbollah leader, gave some fiery speeches there.
  • 00:07:25.268 --> 00:07:28.638
  • It's really a symbolic stronghold for hezbollah.
  • 00:07:28.638 --> 00:07:32.008
  • Do you see hezbollah right now on the ropes,
  • 00:07:32.008 --> 00:07:35.912
  • Being weakened by the day?
  • 00:07:35.912 --> 00:07:37.880
  • What is their status right now?
  • 00:07:37.880 --> 00:07:40.516
  • This is a huge victory,
  • 00:07:41.017 --> 00:07:43.786
  • A huge symbolic victory, not just a military victory,
  • 00:07:43.786 --> 00:07:47.223
  • Because vintage bale was the crown jewel
  • 00:07:47.223 --> 00:07:50.026
  • For hezbollah in southern lebanon.
  • 00:07:50.026 --> 00:07:52.328
  • They are that city.
  • 00:07:52.328 --> 00:07:53.796
  • That city is them.
  • 00:07:53.796 --> 00:07:56.432
  • And it falling in the hands of the israelis,
  • 00:07:56.432 --> 00:07:59.201
  • Or they are taking it completely is an amazing victory
  • 00:07:59.201 --> 00:08:02.972
  • And victory, not just militarily that the visuals of it, but
  • 00:08:02.972 --> 00:08:07.143
  • Also security wise, protecting the northern border of israel.
  • 00:08:07.143 --> 00:08:10.546
  • And this is exactly why israel went into lebanon
  • 00:08:10.546 --> 00:08:13.215
  • And is reestablishing the security zone, which,
  • 00:08:13.215 --> 00:08:16.652
  • By the way, the security zone that i grew up in.
  • 00:08:16.652 --> 00:08:18.955
  • So nothing has changed in 40 years.
  • 00:08:18.955 --> 00:08:20.823
  • Eric, history is just going around in a loop.
  • 00:08:20.823 --> 00:08:24.093
  • But hopefully this time israel learned this lesson.
  • 00:08:24.093 --> 00:08:26.829
  • You know, fool me once.
  • 00:08:26.829 --> 00:08:28.664
  • Shame on you. fool me twice. shame on me.
  • 00:08:28.664 --> 00:08:30.800
  • The first time israel said, okay, we're going to give you
  • 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.069
  • The security zone, we're going to draw out.
  • 00:08:33.069 --> 00:08:34.770
  • We're going to go back into israel.
  • 00:08:34.770 --> 00:08:36.072
  • In 2000, israel realized that no matter what we do with them,
  • 00:08:36.072 --> 00:08:40.610
  • They are after us to kill us.
  • 00:08:40.610 --> 00:08:42.011
  • So this time
  • 00:08:42.011 --> 00:08:43.179
  • Israel is not leaving but bail until they have security.
  • 00:08:43.179 --> 00:08:47.249
  • This is a huge, win for the israelis.
  • 00:08:47.249 --> 00:08:50.219
  • And by the way, it is important to note,
  • 00:08:50.219 --> 00:08:52.088
  • Because i want to bring it here to the united states.
  • 00:08:52.088 --> 00:08:54.023
  • Erick beth israel, there are 450,000 people
  • 00:08:54.023 --> 00:08:59.195
  • From the city of vintage bail living in detroit, michigan.
  • 00:08:59.195 --> 00:09:03.599
  • And you wonder and you ask yourself the question, now,
  • 00:09:03.599 --> 00:09:06.602
  • Why are these people who are living in dearborn
  • 00:09:06.602 --> 00:09:09.872
  • And very supposedly active in dearborn
  • 00:09:09.872 --> 00:09:11.807
  • And very proud americans
  • 00:09:11.807 --> 00:09:13.576
  • Are building $2 million home and $10 million home and
  • 00:09:13.576 --> 00:09:16.946
  • And vintage bale where did they get that money?
  • 00:09:16.946 --> 00:09:19.982
  • What's their association?
  • 00:09:19.982 --> 00:09:21.584
  • Americans need to be very concerned about this is home.
  • 00:09:21.584 --> 00:09:25.321
  • So what's happening in
  • 00:09:25.321 --> 00:09:26.489
  • America is reflecting on what's happening within america.
  • 00:09:26.489 --> 00:09:29.659
  • What's happening in lebanon is is reflective
  • 00:09:29.659 --> 00:09:32.595
  • What's happening in american territory
  • 00:09:32.595 --> 00:09:35.064
  • By treasonous people who already have american
  • 00:09:35.064 --> 00:09:38.100
  • Citizenship and living amongst us in the united states.
  • 00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:42.104
  • Now, what's going to happen in lebanon?
  • 00:09:42.104 --> 00:09:44.440
  • I'm not holding my breath.
  • 00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:46.676
  • Hezbollah is still strong because of the ideology.
  • 00:09:46.676 --> 00:09:50.513
  • It's like iran.
  • 00:09:50.513 --> 00:09:51.614
  • We can bomb the iranians, you know, until the sons,
  • 00:09:51.614 --> 00:09:55.184
  • Until the cows come home like we have done,
  • 00:09:55.184 --> 00:09:57.086
  • We have destroyed their military.
  • 00:09:57.086 --> 00:09:58.854
  • We have destroyed their, al-quds force, all of that stuff, etc.
  • 00:09:58.854 --> 00:10:04.126
  • And look how they are still fighting for their last breath.
  • 00:10:04.126 --> 00:10:07.396
  • That's what we are dealing with in lebanon.
  • 00:10:07.396 --> 00:10:09.165
  • It's the ideology, rigid,
  • 00:10:09.165 --> 00:10:10.666
  • As you said, the fanatical jihadist apocalyptic ideology.
  • 00:10:10.666 --> 00:10:14.704
  • And it's taken root here in america as well.
  • 00:10:14.704 --> 00:10:17.006
  • I'm glad you brought up dearborn bridge
  • 00:10:17.006 --> 00:10:18.541
  • Because we're talk more about what islamist
  • 00:10:18.541 --> 00:10:20.342
  • Are doing in our backyard right here in the united states.
  • 00:10:20.342 --> 00:10:23.145
  • After the break with brigitte.
  • 00:10:23.145 --> 00:10:24.480
  • Gabrielle, folks, follow her on x and cross social media.
  • 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.450
  • More with bridget after the break. stick around.
  • 00:10:27.450 --> 00:10:34.004
  • More with bridget after the break. stick around.
  • 00:10:34.004 --> 00:10:37.158
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight
  • 00:10:37.892 --> 00:10:39.594
  • We're talking to our good friend bridget gabriel,
  • 00:10:39.594 --> 00:10:41.529
  • Founder and president of act for america.
  • 00:10:41.529 --> 00:10:43.598
  • Folks, check her out.
  • 00:10:43.598 --> 00:10:44.365
  • Act for america.
  • 00:10:44.365 --> 00:10:45.200
  • Dot org x and across social media.
  • 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.736
  • Bridget, before the break, you mentioned the islamization
  • 00:10:47.736 --> 00:10:51.206
  • Of dearborn, the detroit area and michigan.
  • 00:10:51.206 --> 00:10:53.975
  • We see it in minneapolis as well,
  • 00:10:53.975 --> 00:10:55.510
  • New york city, virginia, california,
  • 00:10:55.510 --> 00:10:57.846
  • And right here in texas, where i'm sitting right now, bridget,
  • 00:10:57.846 --> 00:11:00.615
  • The reddest of the red texas.
  • 00:11:00.615 --> 00:11:02.450
  • And yet a muslim population growing here, increasingly
  • 00:11:02.450 --> 00:11:06.588
  • Making demands.
  • 00:11:06.588 --> 00:11:07.555
  • Now, governor greg abbott a few months ago
  • 00:11:07.555 --> 00:11:09.657
  • Designated the texas chapter of care.
  • 00:11:09.657 --> 00:11:13.061
  • The council on american-islamic relations,
  • 00:11:13.061 --> 00:11:15.463
  • A muslim brotherhood linked organization.
  • 00:11:15.463 --> 00:11:17.665
  • Abbott designated them as a terrorist organization
  • 00:11:17.665 --> 00:11:20.869
  • In the state of texas.
  • 00:11:20.869 --> 00:11:22.003
  • Long story short care sued over this,
  • 00:11:22.003 --> 00:11:24.973
  • And now the judge ruled, contrary to carey's
  • 00:11:24.973 --> 00:11:28.009
  • Wishes, that care has to reveal a lot of their information.
  • 00:11:28.009 --> 00:11:31.446
  • Our donor list, their donee list, the countries,
  • 00:11:31.446 --> 00:11:34.582
  • Our executive director, nihar, the what has visited.
  • 00:11:34.582 --> 00:11:37.018
  • So it seems like a big win here for texas.
  • 00:11:37.018 --> 00:11:40.188
  • How do you see this playing out?
  • 00:11:40.188 --> 00:11:42.190
  • It's a huge win for texas and i'm glad
  • 00:11:42.957 --> 00:11:45.360
  • Finally texas is stepping up and fighting this.
  • 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.196
  • And by the way, what we are seeing in texas,
  • 00:11:48.196 --> 00:11:50.298
  • You know, the building of epic city,
  • 00:11:50.298 --> 00:11:52.433
  • The muslims, their only day at the pool.
  • 00:11:52.433 --> 00:11:55.537
  • This has been going on, erick, nationwide in different states,
  • 00:11:55.537 --> 00:11:59.007
  • But nobody had the guts to do anything about it
  • 00:11:59.007 --> 00:12:02.210
  • Because the locals are afraid to rise up.
  • 00:12:02.210 --> 00:12:04.412
  • The locals, you know, want to appear, you know,
  • 00:12:04.412 --> 00:12:07.882
  • Accepting and tolerant and multicultural
  • 00:12:07.882 --> 00:12:11.386
  • Because six years,
  • 00:12:11.386 --> 00:12:13.822
  • Eight years under obama, and then you have the four years
  • 00:12:13.822 --> 00:12:16.424
  • Under biden.
  • 00:12:16.424 --> 00:12:17.425
  • The country became very sensitive to this.
  • 00:12:17.425 --> 00:12:19.761
  • Oh, you know,
  • 00:12:19.761 --> 00:12:20.595
  • We don't want to be appearing bigots
  • 00:12:20.595 --> 00:12:21.629
  • Because everybody's calling us bigots.
  • 00:12:21.629 --> 00:12:23.298
  • So this has been going on nationwide and now in texas.
  • 00:12:23.298 --> 00:12:27.268
  • I'm glad to see finally, texas, only when it got
  • 00:12:27.268 --> 00:12:30.004
  • To the boiling point,
  • 00:12:30.004 --> 00:12:31.773
  • With epic city
  • 00:12:31.773 --> 00:12:32.874
  • That they decided, oh my gosh, we're not going to let,
  • 00:12:32.874 --> 00:12:35.276
  • Allow this to happen.
  • 00:12:35.276 --> 00:12:36.411
  • So this is a huge win for texas.
  • 00:12:36.411 --> 00:12:38.479
  • And you know what?
  • 00:12:38.479 --> 00:12:38.947
  • This is something
  • 00:12:38.947 --> 00:12:40.148
  • That girl has been so afraid because nobody had the money
  • 00:12:40.148 --> 00:12:43.818
  • To be able to go against scare and scare
  • 00:12:43.818 --> 00:12:45.954
  • Because they have lawyers coming out of their ears.
  • 00:12:45.954 --> 00:12:48.556
  • But finally, texas did it.
  • 00:12:48.556 --> 00:12:50.124
  • And now we're going to be able to know who their donors are.
  • 00:12:50.124 --> 00:12:53.394
  • Where are
  • 00:12:53.394 --> 00:12:54.629
  • They are getting their money, you know, and the discovery
  • 00:12:54.629 --> 00:12:56.231
  • All this information is going to come out.
  • 00:12:56.231 --> 00:12:58.399
  • So the organization, the council
  • 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:00.201
  • On american-islamic relations care, who has been terrorizing
  • 00:13:00.201 --> 00:13:04.239
  • People like you and me and conservative
  • 00:13:04.239 --> 00:13:06.474
  • Organization, anytime we spoke about the threat of radical
  • 00:13:06.474 --> 00:13:09.510
  • Islamic terrorism for the last 20 years, they came after us.
  • 00:13:09.510 --> 00:13:13.514
  • They called us names. they intimidated us.
  • 00:13:13.514 --> 00:13:15.550
  • They threatened us.
  • 00:13:15.550 --> 00:13:17.151
  • In my case, they threatened my chapters nationwide.
  • 00:13:17.151 --> 00:13:20.388
  • Finally.
  • 00:13:20.388 --> 00:13:21.322
  • Now, texas is shining the light on care.
  • 00:13:21.322 --> 00:13:24.459
  • And we are doing that in florida.
  • 00:13:24.459 --> 00:13:26.427
  • And we are doing that.
  • 00:13:26.427 --> 00:13:27.528
  • We meaning my organization, act for america,
  • 00:13:27.528 --> 00:13:30.598
  • Has introduced similar bills in arizona right now.
  • 00:13:30.598 --> 00:13:33.201
  • It's going through the process.
  • 00:13:33.201 --> 00:13:35.370
  • But this is what it's going to take.
  • 00:13:35.370 --> 00:13:36.804
  • It's going to take americans waking up looking at
  • 00:13:36.804 --> 00:13:39.874
  • What's happened in europe and saying, enough is enough.
  • 00:13:39.874 --> 00:13:42.543
  • We're not going to allow what happened in europe
  • 00:13:42.543 --> 00:13:45.179
  • To happen in the united states.
  • 00:13:45.179 --> 00:13:46.814
  • We are going to rise up.
  • 00:13:46.814 --> 00:13:48.683
  • We are going to speak up.
  • 00:13:48.683 --> 00:13:50.351
  • We are going to protect our constitution.
  • 00:13:50.351 --> 00:13:52.787
  • We are going to protect our judeo-christian culture,
  • 00:13:52.787 --> 00:13:56.891
  • Because america is a nation founded
  • 00:13:56.891 --> 00:13:58.993
  • On judeo-christian values and freedom.
  • 00:13:58.993 --> 00:14:02.297
  • You have been in the trenches, a watch woman on the wall on
  • 00:14:02.297 --> 00:14:05.366
  • This issue for years and years.
  • 00:14:05.366 --> 00:14:06.768
  • About a minute left that we're at the demand stage,
  • 00:14:06.768 --> 00:14:10.772
  • It seems, and that islamists are making demands.
  • 00:14:10.772 --> 00:14:13.041
  • You mentioned here in texas, they demanded a muslim
  • 00:14:13.041 --> 00:14:15.743
  • Only water park day at a taxpayer funded water park.
  • 00:14:15.743 --> 00:14:19.314
  • Thank god again.
  • 00:14:19.314 --> 00:14:20.515
  • Greg abbott, the governor of texas, stepped in on that.
  • 00:14:20.515 --> 00:14:22.517
  • It's now been canceled.
  • 00:14:22.517 --> 00:14:23.785
  • Epic city, which you mentioned, the sprawling
  • 00:14:23.785 --> 00:14:26.020
  • Muslim only compound being built outside of dallas
  • 00:14:26.020 --> 00:14:29.057
  • About 30s left.
  • 00:14:29.424 --> 00:14:30.558
  • Sorry, we got to go so fast, but it seems again,
  • 00:14:30.558 --> 00:14:33.361
  • They're at the stage where they're becoming bold
  • 00:14:33.361 --> 00:14:35.596
  • And more demanding, and we got to push back.
  • 00:14:35.596 --> 00:14:37.832
  • Yes. and the reason why they have become bold, erick,
  • 00:14:38.900 --> 00:14:41.970
  • Is because the democrats, when they were under control,
  • 00:14:41.970 --> 00:14:44.572
  • They prop them up, they supported them.
  • 00:14:44.572 --> 00:14:46.741
  • They emboldened them.
  • 00:14:46.741 --> 00:14:48.009
  • We are right now working on a petition
  • 00:14:48.009 --> 00:14:49.811
  • Against california, for example, work for the council on
  • 00:14:49.811 --> 00:14:52.814
  • American-islamic relations received $40 million
  • 00:14:52.814 --> 00:14:56.718
  • From the state of california, from taxpayers,
  • 00:14:56.718 --> 00:14:59.921
  • To basically fund its operation.
  • 00:14:59.921 --> 00:15:01.889
  • And if this is happening in california,
  • 00:15:01.889 --> 00:15:03.791
  • It's happening nationwide.
  • 00:15:03.791 --> 00:15:05.193
  • So this is how they have become emboldened, emboldened.
  • 00:15:05.193 --> 00:15:08.429
  • The democrat party and the left has stood
  • 00:15:08.429 --> 00:15:10.732
  • By them, have propped them up, had supported them,
  • 00:15:10.732 --> 00:15:13.568
  • In every way.
  • 00:15:13.568 --> 00:15:14.702
  • And that's why this is our time to start speaking up.
  • 00:15:14.702 --> 00:15:17.839
  • We need to become courageous.
  • 00:15:17.839 --> 00:15:19.640
  • We need to become emboldened.
  • 00:15:19.640 --> 00:15:21.175
  • We need to develop a backbone.
  • 00:15:21.175 --> 00:15:23.011
  • The american people.
  • 00:15:23.011 --> 00:15:24.412
  • We are literally standing on a cliff.
  • 00:15:24.412 --> 00:15:27.015
  • We either save our nation now or we lose our nation forever.
  • 00:15:27.015 --> 00:15:30.852
  • We've got president trump in office.
  • 00:15:30.852 --> 00:15:32.887
  • This is our opportunity, bridget.
  • 00:15:32.887 --> 00:15:34.889
  • Well said as always. hey folks, act for america.
  • 00:15:34.889 --> 00:15:37.759
  • Talk x across social media.
  • 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:39.460
  • Be sure to follow bridget.
  • 00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:40.862
  • Bridget, great work as always. god bless.
  • 00:15:40.862 --> 00:15:42.864
  • We will see you again soon.
  • 00:15:42.864 --> 00:15:43.998
  • And coming up after the break,
  • 00:15:43.998 --> 00:15:45.266
  • Our good friend susan michael is here.
  • 00:15:45.266 --> 00:15:47.335
  • What about rising anti-semitism
  • 00:15:47.335 --> 00:15:49.437
  • In america and the biblical mandate to support israel?
  • 00:15:49.437 --> 00:15:52.974
  • Susan got a great breakdown on that next move.
  • 00:15:52.974 --> 00:16:01.003
  • Susan got a great breakdown on that next move.
  • 00:16:01.003 --> 00:16:04.253
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight
  • 00:16:04.987 --> 00:16:06.822
  • In the aftermath of october 7th, as israel faces
  • 00:16:06.822 --> 00:16:10.392
  • Unprecedented global pressure and rising hostility.
  • 00:16:10.392 --> 00:16:14.063
  • Something remarkable is happening.
  • 00:16:14.063 --> 00:16:16.498
  • A deeper alliance is forming, one rooted not just in politics,
  • 00:16:16.498 --> 00:16:20.636
  • But in shared faith values and a shared fight for truth.
  • 00:16:20.636 --> 00:16:25.607
  • Rabbis, pastors, and jewish and christian leaders
  • 00:16:25.607 --> 00:16:28.043
  • Gathered in the nation's capital recently
  • 00:16:28.043 --> 00:16:30.245
  • Not just to show support,
  • 00:16:30.245 --> 00:16:31.847
  • But to take action, to stand together
  • 00:16:31.847 --> 00:16:34.917
  • And to make their voices heard on capitol hill.
  • 00:16:34.917 --> 00:16:37.719
  • Doctor susan michael is one of those voices.
  • 00:16:37.719 --> 00:16:40.322
  • She's the u.s.
  • 00:16:40.322 --> 00:16:41.590
  • Director of the international christian embassy in jerusalem,
  • 00:16:41.590 --> 00:16:43.992
  • And she sat down with me to share more.
  • 00:16:43.992 --> 00:16:48.063
  • Doctor susan, michael, always great to have you with us.
  • 00:16:48.063 --> 00:16:50.332
  • Hey. is historic event here at the israel advocacy day in d.c..
  • 00:16:50.332 --> 00:16:54.269
  • Of course, the international christian embassy,
  • 00:16:54.269 --> 00:16:56.438
  • Jerusalem, playing a big role in this event.
  • 00:16:56.438 --> 00:16:58.807
  • But tell us more about that.
  • 00:16:58.807 --> 00:17:00.309
  • It is so historic.
  • 00:17:00.309 --> 00:17:02.144
  • It took us 2000 years to get to what is happening tonight,
  • 00:17:02.144 --> 00:17:06.615
  • But it's happening and that's what's exciting about it.
  • 00:17:06.615 --> 00:17:09.818
  • You know, i've been involved in this work for many, many years,
  • 00:17:09.818 --> 00:17:12.788
  • And i've seen the relationship between jews and christians
  • 00:17:12.788 --> 00:17:16.959
  • Go through certain stages of growth and deepening.
  • 00:17:16.959 --> 00:17:21.864
  • And one of those pivotal moments in jewish
  • 00:17:21.864 --> 00:17:24.700
  • Christian relations was october the 7th,
  • 00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:27.703
  • Because immediately after that horrific terrorist attack,
  • 00:17:27.703 --> 00:17:31.573
  • The worst massacre of jews since the holocaust.
  • 00:17:31.573 --> 00:17:34.843
  • The next day,
  • 00:17:34.843 --> 00:17:36.044
  • We had protests in the streets in favor of the terrorists.
  • 00:17:36.044 --> 00:17:40.149
  • And then so many of these liberal causes and movements
  • 00:17:40.149 --> 00:17:44.153
  • And even political parties now that had so
  • 00:17:44.153 --> 00:17:48.857
  • The jewish community had invested so much in them,
  • 00:17:48.857 --> 00:17:51.994
  • And they turned against them and became anti-israel.
  • 00:17:51.994 --> 00:17:55.764
  • So they recognized, you know,
  • 00:17:55.764 --> 00:17:59.001
  • The evangelical christians really are our friends.
  • 00:17:59.001 --> 00:18:02.371
  • And we think there are only friends.
  • 00:18:02.371 --> 00:18:04.740
  • And so there's been a real, reaching out for relationship.
  • 00:18:04.740 --> 00:18:10.479
  • And with rabbis wanting to relate with pastors
  • 00:18:10.479 --> 00:18:14.850
  • And wanting
  • 00:18:14.850 --> 00:18:15.517
  • To go on capitol hill together
  • 00:18:15.517 --> 00:18:17.019
  • And advocate together for israel.
  • 00:18:17.019 --> 00:18:19.154
  • Israel and the jewish people,
  • 00:18:19.154 --> 00:18:20.589
  • Obviously under fire since october 7th.
  • 00:18:20.589 --> 00:18:22.958
  • But increasingly, suzanne, we see
  • 00:18:22.958 --> 00:18:25.327
  • Christian supporters of israel under fire as well.
  • 00:18:25.327 --> 00:18:28.931
  • And in christian zionist theology attacked.
  • 00:18:28.931 --> 00:18:32.568
  • Talk a bit more about that, because i know
  • 00:18:32.568 --> 00:18:33.969
  • In your podcast, out of zion,
  • 00:18:33.969 --> 00:18:35.571
  • You go a long way towards correcting that narrative.
  • 00:18:35.571 --> 00:18:38.273
  • Well, you know, my message tonight to this
  • 00:18:38.273 --> 00:18:41.677
  • Crowd is going to be
  • 00:18:41.677 --> 00:18:43.545
  • We are stronger together and we need each other
  • 00:18:43.545 --> 00:18:47.316
  • Because it is not just the jews, just as you
  • 00:18:47.316 --> 00:18:49.985
  • Said, we are also coming under attack.
  • 00:18:49.985 --> 00:18:52.788
  • Evangelical christians are hated just as much as the jews are.
  • 00:18:52.788 --> 00:18:56.158
  • We just don't maybe see it as out
  • 00:18:56.158 --> 00:18:58.927
  • Front as it is now, but it will be even more so.
  • 00:18:58.927 --> 00:19:02.097
  • So we we have a common enemy and we need to stand together.
  • 00:19:02.097 --> 00:19:06.301
  • We need each other.
  • 00:19:06.301 --> 00:19:08.270
  • Susan, right now i see only israel standing
  • 00:19:08.270 --> 00:19:11.440
  • Shoulder to shoulder with the united states
  • 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:12.975
  • As it takes on the world's number one state
  • 00:19:12.975 --> 00:19:14.576
  • Sponsor of terrorism, the iranian regime.
  • 00:19:14.576 --> 00:19:17.179
  • Is there an appreciation here in dc that israel has answered
  • 00:19:17.179 --> 00:19:20.949
  • The call here and stood
  • 00:19:20.949 --> 00:19:21.883
  • Shoulder to shoulder with the united states
  • 00:19:21.883 --> 00:19:23.452
  • In its time of need against iran?
  • 00:19:23.452 --> 00:19:25.153
  • Well, absolutely.
  • 00:19:25.153 --> 00:19:27.089
  • What's happening though, erick?
  • 00:19:27.089 --> 00:19:28.857
  • And like i said,
  • 00:19:28.857 --> 00:19:29.558
  • I've been around a long time,
  • 00:19:29.558 --> 00:19:31.326
  • And i remember when it was the democratic party
  • 00:19:31.326 --> 00:19:34.029
  • That was leading in the pro-israel movement,
  • 00:19:34.029 --> 00:19:37.499
  • And then it became very bipartisan.
  • 00:19:37.499 --> 00:19:40.702
  • And the whole congress was supportive
  • 00:19:40.702 --> 00:19:43.238
  • Of israel's wonderful years.
  • 00:19:43.238 --> 00:19:45.307
  • I remember and now the pendulum has swung
  • 00:19:45.307 --> 00:19:48.610
  • And the democratic party's backing away.
  • 00:19:48.610 --> 00:19:50.979
  • And now the pro-israel party is the republicans.
  • 00:19:50.979 --> 00:19:53.615
  • Of course, we have some trouble there as well.
  • 00:19:53.615 --> 00:19:56.952
  • But yes, there are plenty of our lawmakers on capitol hill
  • 00:19:56.952 --> 00:20:00.622
  • That support israel,
  • 00:20:00.622 --> 00:20:02.090
  • But they are also feeling increasingly alone.
  • 00:20:02.090 --> 00:20:05.694
  • We'll talk to more, susan, about the out of zion podcast
  • 00:20:05.694 --> 00:20:08.530
  • And other things i love that you do on the show, is that
  • 00:20:08.530 --> 00:20:11.800
  • You make the case for his rule, the ancient ancestral claim
  • 00:20:11.800 --> 00:20:15.070
  • To the land,
  • 00:20:15.070 --> 00:20:16.238
  • The biblical claim to the land that's under assault right
  • 00:20:16.238 --> 00:20:19.007
  • Now, a lot of false narratives
  • 00:20:19.007 --> 00:20:20.475
  • And rewriting of history when it comes to israel.
  • 00:20:20.475 --> 00:20:22.778
  • Talk a bit more about that.
  • 00:20:22.778 --> 00:20:23.879
  • Setting the record straight.
  • 00:20:23.879 --> 00:20:25.814
  • Accuracy on the reality on the ground in the history of israel.
  • 00:20:25.814 --> 00:20:29.785
  • Well, i can't believe it,
  • 00:20:29.785 --> 00:20:30.852
  • But i actually started that podcast six years ago,
  • 00:20:30.852 --> 00:20:34.690
  • And i was so driven to actually get
  • 00:20:34.690 --> 00:20:39.728
  • Biblical teaching out there that shows the significance
  • 00:20:39.728 --> 00:20:43.131
  • Of israel in the jewish people,
  • 00:20:43.131 --> 00:20:44.366
  • Because so much of our bible study tools and bible studies
  • 00:20:44.366 --> 00:20:48.437
  • And preachers online that you're listening to,
  • 00:20:48.437 --> 00:20:50.872
  • They never mention it.
  • 00:20:50.872 --> 00:20:52.341
  • And so if they're not teaching outright
  • 00:20:53.108 --> 00:20:55.811
  • Replacement theology, they're just silent on it.
  • 00:20:55.811 --> 00:20:58.847
  • And i thought, we've got to help people with bible tools.
  • 00:20:58.847 --> 00:21:02.050
  • So i began teaching at the encounter, the 3d bible.
  • 00:21:02.050 --> 00:21:06.154
  • And, and i encountered the 3d jesus.
  • 00:21:06.154 --> 00:21:09.458
  • And then we did a year long walk through the bible,
  • 00:21:09.458 --> 00:21:12.127
  • And i kind of got it off my chest.
  • 00:21:12.127 --> 00:21:14.162
  • But out of that, we did books and all kinds of online courses
  • 00:21:14.162 --> 00:21:18.266
  • And all from that, because it's so necessary.
  • 00:21:18.266 --> 00:21:21.370
  • That's when your bible comes
  • 00:21:21.370 --> 00:21:23.038
  • Alive, is when you understand the israel peace.
  • 00:21:23.038 --> 00:21:26.875
  • And without the israel peace,
  • 00:21:26.875 --> 00:21:28.877
  • Your bible has this huge disconnect.
  • 00:21:28.877 --> 00:21:31.680
  • So you'll have a preacher
  • 00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:32.848
  • That says, disregard the old testament.
  • 00:21:32.848 --> 00:21:35.384
  • It's irrelevant.
  • 00:21:35.384 --> 00:21:36.485
  • And i was like, what are you saying?
  • 00:21:36.485 --> 00:21:40.122
  • It's not a rule that you're just not teaching
  • 00:21:40.122 --> 00:21:42.324
  • The israel peace that makes it connects all the dots.
  • 00:21:42.324 --> 00:21:46.094
  • And so i'm driven to help people
  • 00:21:46.094 --> 00:21:49.131
  • See that the israel peace is absolutely essential.
  • 00:21:49.131 --> 00:21:52.667
  • If you take israel
  • 00:21:52.667 --> 00:21:53.869
  • Out of the bible, you have very little bible left.
  • 00:21:53.869 --> 00:21:57.272
  • No, it's written by jews,
  • 00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:00.709
  • Two jews, four jews about jews.
  • 00:22:00.709 --> 00:22:04.079
  • Very little of it isn't.
  • 00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:06.415
  • And to understand it, you've got to insert the israel key.
  • 00:22:06.415 --> 00:22:11.319
  • Says and so well said you doing that
  • 00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:13.188
  • Across the board, including targeting generation
  • 00:22:13.188 --> 00:22:15.290
  • Z as well with the message of truth,
  • 00:22:15.290 --> 00:22:17.292
  • Biblical truth, geopolitical truth.
  • 00:22:17.292 --> 00:22:19.428
  • Susan, we appreciate it. thank you.
  • 00:22:19.428 --> 00:22:20.962
  • Thank you erick, great to be with you.
  • 00:22:20.962 --> 00:22:24.633
  • Up next, final
  • 00:22:24.966 --> 00:22:26.034
  • Thoughts on what i saw in dc.
  • 00:22:26.034 --> 00:22:29.104
  • Stick around.
  • 00:22:29.104 --> 00:22:33.005
  • Stick around.
  • 00:22:33.005 --> 00:22:36.612
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:22:37.380 --> 00:22:39.148
  • There's an old saying in the world of radical islam.
  • 00:22:39.148 --> 00:22:41.350
  • We've shared it here before on the show.
  • 00:22:41.350 --> 00:22:43.019
  • First the saturday people, the jews,
  • 00:22:43.019 --> 00:22:45.788
  • Then they're coming for the sunday people,
  • 00:22:45.788 --> 00:22:48.090
  • The christians, they have a bullseye.
  • 00:22:48.090 --> 00:22:50.259
  • Do the islam.
  • 00:22:50.259 --> 00:22:51.093
  • It's not to mention the communists,
  • 00:22:51.093 --> 00:22:52.795
  • Radical leftist and the fringe elements
  • 00:22:52.795 --> 00:22:55.231
  • Of the right on the backs of not only the jewish people,
  • 00:22:55.231 --> 00:22:58.167
  • But christians who support the jewish people.
  • 00:22:58.167 --> 00:23:00.136
  • That's why it was so great in dc at this israel advocacy day
  • 00:23:00.136 --> 00:23:03.606
  • To see christians and jews together.
  • 00:23:03.606 --> 00:23:05.875
  • I think of psalm 133, how good and pleasant it is
  • 00:23:05.875 --> 00:23:08.678
  • When god's people live together in unity.
  • 00:23:08.678 --> 00:23:11.848
  • Amen. we need much more of it.
  • 00:23:11.848 --> 00:23:13.249
  • Tomorrow night,
  • 00:23:13.249 --> 00:23:14.450
  • Senior adviser to first lady melania trump is joining us,
  • 00:23:14.450 --> 00:23:17.587
  • Plus the heads of the white house faith office.
  • 00:23:17.587 --> 00:23:19.789
  • It's going to be a good show.
  • 00:23:19.789 --> 00:23:20.890
  • Until then, god bless you and we'll see you soon.
  • 00:23:20.890 --> 00:23:20.890
