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: U.S./Iran War: A Deal in Sight? | Stakelbeck Tonight | May 6, 2026
- I'm erick stackelbeck, and the u.s.
- 00:00:19.209 --> 00:00:21.478
- And iran reportedly may be closing in on a deal
- 00:00:21.478 --> 00:00:25.648
- To end the war.
- 00:00:25.648 --> 00:00:27.117
- But since we're dealing with an iranian regime
- 00:00:27.117 --> 00:00:29.886
- That spent the last 47 years lying, cheating,
- 00:00:29.886 --> 00:00:33.189
- Murdering and maiming, nothing is guaranteed.
- 00:00:33.189 --> 00:00:37.193
- President trump said
- 00:00:37.193 --> 00:00:38.461
- Today that there's been great progress in talks with iran, but
- 00:00:38.461 --> 00:00:42.031
- He also laid down a warning watch.
- 00:00:42.031 --> 00:00:45.368
- In the case of iran.
- 00:00:45.368 --> 00:00:46.569
- We're not going to let iran have a nuclear weapon,
- 00:00:46.569 --> 00:00:49.305
- And we're not going to let that happen.
- 00:00:49.305 --> 00:00:50.974
- And, we won't let that happen.
- 00:00:50.974 --> 00:00:53.276
- And so we're,
- 00:00:53.276 --> 00:00:55.712
- We're dealing with people that want to make a deal
- 00:00:55.712 --> 00:00:57.514
- Very much, and we'll see whether or not
- 00:00:57.514 --> 00:00:59.315
- They can make a deal that satisfactory to us.
- 00:00:59.315 --> 00:01:02.185
- We have it very much under control.
- 00:01:02.185 --> 00:01:04.954
- The blockade is unbelievable.
- 00:01:04.954 --> 00:01:06.556
- The navy's been incredible.
- 00:01:06.556 --> 00:01:07.991
- The job they did. it's like a it's like a wall of steel.
- 00:01:07.991 --> 00:01:10.760
- Nobody goes through.
- 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:12.529
- In particular the iranians.
- 00:01:12.529 --> 00:01:14.130
- And they're getting.
- 00:01:14.130 --> 00:01:15.098
- And they think through one way or the other.
- 00:01:15.098 --> 00:01:16.766
- So they're out of business
- 00:01:16.766 --> 00:01:18.601
- And we'll see whether or not, they are agreeing.
- 00:01:18.601 --> 00:01:21.638
- And if they don't agree,
- 00:01:22.172 --> 00:01:23.673
- They'll end up agreeing shortly thereafter.
- 00:01:23.673 --> 00:01:26.609
- So that's the way it is.
- 00:01:26.609 --> 00:01:29.946
- He's got all the leverage.
- 00:01:30.513 --> 00:01:31.948
- Now, folks, on one hand,
- 00:01:31.948 --> 00:01:33.249
- I'm not surprised that iran's regime
- 00:01:33.249 --> 00:01:35.552
- Is suddenly more receptive to a deal.
- 00:01:35.552 --> 00:01:38.087
- The ongoing u.s.
- 00:01:38.087 --> 00:01:39.122
- Naval blockade is crippling iran's economy.
- 00:01:39.122 --> 00:01:42.392
- Nothing is going into iran.
- 00:01:42.392 --> 00:01:44.761
- Nothing is coming out and the ayatollahs are losing up
- 00:01:44.761 --> 00:01:48.631
- To $500 million every day.
- 00:01:48.631 --> 00:01:52.202
- The regime
- 00:01:52.202 --> 00:01:53.369
- Is also running out of space to put all that unused oil
- 00:01:53.369 --> 00:01:56.573
- That's now just laying around, which is a disaster for them.
- 00:01:56.573 --> 00:02:00.944
- On the other hand, any deal with iran must include, in my view,
- 00:02:00.944 --> 00:02:04.981
- The complete dismantlement of the iranian nuclear program.
- 00:02:04.981 --> 00:02:08.685
- That means no more enriching uranium.
- 00:02:08.685 --> 00:02:11.421
- And of course,
- 00:02:11.421 --> 00:02:12.622
- The removal of any uranium that's still in iran right now.
- 00:02:12.622 --> 00:02:16.059
- Secondly, iran must end all support for its terror
- 00:02:16.059 --> 00:02:19.762
- Proxies like hezbollah, hamas and the houthis.
- 00:02:19.762 --> 00:02:23.333
- Third, massive limits on any iranian ballistic
- 00:02:23.333 --> 00:02:27.136
- Missile program, although ideally
- 00:02:27.136 --> 00:02:29.072
- That missile program would be eliminated altogether.
- 00:02:29.072 --> 00:02:32.775
- Lastly, iran must never again meddle in the strait of hormuz.
- 00:02:32.775 --> 00:02:37.714
- Anything short of these four points gives the regime
- 00:02:37.714 --> 00:02:40.984
- An opening to cause more mayhem in the future.
- 00:02:40.984 --> 00:02:44.220
- There is a golden opportunity here to bring the world's number
- 00:02:44.220 --> 00:02:47.991
- One state sponsor of terrorism to its knees, finally,
- 00:02:47.991 --> 00:02:52.228
- And to empower the iranian people to rise up.
- 00:02:52.228 --> 00:02:55.531
- I'm not sure an opportunity like this will come along again.
- 00:02:55.531 --> 00:02:58.668
- And i think president trump realizes that.
- 00:02:58.668 --> 00:03:01.771
- Israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said today
- 00:03:01.771 --> 00:03:04.407
- That he and the president speak
- 00:03:04.407 --> 00:03:06.109
- Regularly about the iran situation.
- 00:03:06.109 --> 00:03:08.678
- And you have to think that trump and bibi would be far
- 00:03:08.678 --> 00:03:12.015
- From satisfied to see iran's regime emerge
- 00:03:12.015 --> 00:03:15.585
- From this war with any semblance of a nuclear program.
- 00:03:15.585 --> 00:03:19.722
- Speaking of israel, the anti-semitic madness
- 00:03:19.722 --> 00:03:23.192
- We've seen take root since october 7th was out
- 00:03:23.192 --> 00:03:26.462
- Yet again in full force last night in new york city.
- 00:03:26.462 --> 00:03:30.099
- Masked hamas
- 00:03:30.099 --> 00:03:31.234
- Supporters gathered near an historic manhattan synagogue
- 00:03:31.234 --> 00:03:34.871
- Where they call for israel's destruction
- 00:03:34.871 --> 00:03:37.507
- And attacked nypd officers. watch.
- 00:03:37.507 --> 00:03:52.755
- Fox street.
- 00:03:53.089 --> 00:03:57.894
- On the street.
- 00:03:58.227 --> 00:03:59.495
- There's.
- 00:03:59.495 --> 00:04:28.825
- Just another day in islamo communist mayor zoran.
- 00:04:29.792 --> 00:04:34.030
- Mom. donny's new york.
- 00:04:34.030 --> 00:04:36.232
- But here's the good news.
- 00:04:36.232 --> 00:04:37.433
- While people like mom
- 00:04:37.433 --> 00:04:38.835
- Want to pull america away from its founding principles,
- 00:04:38.835 --> 00:04:42.505

- Hey, this is biblical level stuff.

- Rededicating the nation to god in a public way.
- 00:05:39.258 --> 00:05:42.394
- President trump spearheading this, of course.
- 00:05:42.394 --> 00:05:44.463

- Well, thank you so much for having me, eric.
- 00:05:57.676 --> 00:05:59.778
- You know, just as the founding fathers
- 00:05:59.778 --> 00:06:01.580
- Understood that they cannot establish this republic
- 00:06:01.580 --> 00:06:05.417
- Without the help of god.
- 00:06:05.417 --> 00:06:07.186
- And they
- 00:06:07.186 --> 00:06:08.320
- I think they did have a very serious and meaningful
- 00:06:08.320 --> 00:06:11.490
- Understanding that everything that they accomplished
- 00:06:11.490 --> 00:06:14.359
- In establishing
- 00:06:14.359 --> 00:06:15.194
- This nation was
- 00:06:15.194 --> 00:06:16.495
- Because the hand of god was on them
- 00:06:16.495 --> 00:06:18.730
- And was on the young country at the time,
- 00:06:18.730 --> 00:06:21.099
- Just as that was the case 250 years later.
- 00:06:21.099 --> 00:06:24.269
- President trump, his administration,
- 00:06:24.269 --> 00:06:26.638
- They think the american people writ large,
- 00:06:26.638 --> 00:06:28.807
- Understand that we need to have a return to god,
- 00:06:28.807 --> 00:06:33.011
- That we have really lost our way.
- 00:06:33.011 --> 00:06:35.614
- In many ways,
- 00:06:35.614 --> 00:06:36.748
- The advance of secularism and so on has really kind
- 00:06:36.748 --> 00:06:40.285
- Of chipped away at the faith foundations of our country.
- 00:06:40.285 --> 00:06:44.056
- What better way and what better time
- 00:06:44.056 --> 00:06:46.391
- To restore this nation as one nation under god
- 00:06:46.391 --> 00:06:49.361
- Then as part of our 250th birthday celebrations?
- 00:06:49.361 --> 00:06:53.665
- So we made a determination that we were going to set aside
- 00:06:53.665 --> 00:06:56.835
- A full day, may 17th on the national mall as a return to god
- 00:06:56.835 --> 00:07:02.107
- So that we could
- 00:07:02.107 --> 00:07:03.208
- Rededicate this nation as part of a national jubilee
- 00:07:03.208 --> 00:07:06.778
- Of praise and faith, repentance and thanksgiving,
- 00:07:06.778 --> 00:07:12.017
- Uniting the country together under a banner of faith.
- 00:07:12.017 --> 00:07:15.988
- Because as we know, we are all in this project
- 00:07:15.988 --> 00:07:18.957
- Together of restoring our nation.
- 00:07:18.957 --> 00:07:21.059
- But we cannot do it without god almighty.
- 00:07:21.059 --> 00:07:23.762
- Yeah, ambassador, well said.
- 00:07:23.762 --> 00:07:24.796
- And we
- 00:07:24.796 --> 00:07:26.064
- Of course will be there for tbn covering the event on may 17th.
- 00:07:26.064 --> 00:07:28.100
- And to give people an idea
- 00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:29.568
- Of what this administration is doing for people of faith.
- 00:07:29.568 --> 00:07:32.170
- Just yesterday,
- 00:07:32.170 --> 00:07:33.038
- Ambassador, i was at the white house
- 00:07:33.038 --> 00:07:34.306
- With the leaders of the white house faith office.
- 00:07:34.306 --> 00:07:36.942
- Pretty amazing.
- 00:07:36.942 --> 00:07:37.943
- Hey, there's three pillars to this america.
- 00:07:37.943 --> 00:07:39.878
- 250 celebration.
- 00:07:39.878 --> 00:07:41.446
- Number one, the miracles it made us.
- 00:07:41.446 --> 00:07:43.382
- Number two, the miracle still in our midst.
- 00:07:43.382 --> 00:07:46.485
- And number three, a new birth of faith and freedom.
- 00:07:46.485 --> 00:07:50.889
- Ambassador, tell us more about those three pillars. why?
- 00:07:50.889 --> 00:07:52.958
- There's why they're so significant.
- 00:07:52.958 --> 00:07:55.561
- Yeah.
- 00:07:55.794 --> 00:07:56.428
- You know, eric, we really.
- 00:07:56.428 --> 00:07:57.596
- When we were
- 00:07:57.596 --> 00:07:58.730
- Designing this program, what we wanted to do in terms of
- 00:07:58.730 --> 00:08:02.200
- Building out a program focused on faith and prayer
- 00:08:02.200 --> 00:08:05.504
- And really giving
- 00:08:05.504 --> 00:08:06.705
- All praise and glory to god for our exceptional nation is.
- 00:08:06.705 --> 00:08:10.475
- So we wanted to take a look at our exceptional history
- 00:08:10.475 --> 00:08:14.446
- And honor that our exceptional present
- 00:08:14.446 --> 00:08:17.416
- Under president donald trump, who making all of this possible.
- 00:08:17.416 --> 00:08:21.386
- And then, of course, with a look to the next 250 years
- 00:08:21.386 --> 00:08:25.691
- To ensure that this nation remained under the hand of god
- 00:08:25.691 --> 00:08:29.661
- With the pillars that made our exceptional nation
- 00:08:29.661 --> 00:08:33.398
- Possible individual liberty,
- 00:08:33.398 --> 00:08:35.100
- Economic freedom, and self-governance.
- 00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:37.536
- All of those things come directly from god.
- 00:08:37.536 --> 00:08:40.205
- As our founders acknowledged.
- 00:08:40.205 --> 00:08:42.240
- So the pillars that you laid out for the programing on may 17th
- 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:46.345
- Will focus on the past,
- 00:08:46.345 --> 00:08:48.080
- The present, and looking forward to the future
- 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.816
- To ensure that america
- 00:08:50.816 --> 00:08:52.417
- Remains one nation under god does not lose its way,
- 00:08:52.417 --> 00:08:56.188
- But stays on track in terms of the faith
- 00:08:56.188 --> 00:09:00.192
- Foundation on which we were built,
- 00:09:00.192 --> 00:09:02.294
- So that we can go forward with strength and courage under god.
- 00:09:02.294 --> 00:09:07.132
- Yeah, ambassador, great point.
- 00:09:07.132 --> 00:09:08.467
- And part of that is, look,
- 00:09:08.467 --> 00:09:09.468
- We're rededicating the nation, of course,
- 00:09:09.468 --> 00:09:11.236
- But you've made the point that we as individuals also need
- 00:09:11.236 --> 00:09:14.973
- To rededicate ourselves, talk about the importance of that.
- 00:09:14.973 --> 00:09:18.844
- Yeah, this is a critical part of this programing as well.
- 00:09:19.945 --> 00:09:22.648
- We are hoping
- 00:09:22.648 --> 00:09:23.815
- For tens of thousands of people to to attend on may 17th
- 00:09:23.815 --> 00:09:27.819
- On the national mall for this daylong programing
- 00:09:27.819 --> 00:09:30.589
- Of worship and music, a real celebration
- 00:09:30.589 --> 00:09:34.426
- Of our judeo-christian values that built this nation.
- 00:09:34.426 --> 00:09:37.696
- We're hoping to bring together
- 00:09:37.696 --> 00:09:40.298
- Individuals of all stripes from around the country,
- 00:09:40.298 --> 00:09:42.768
- Really around the world, in the celebration
- 00:09:42.768 --> 00:09:45.537
- And the point of it is to not only unite the people
- 00:09:45.537 --> 00:09:50.075
- Who are there present, and we hope everybody will come,
- 00:09:50.075 --> 00:09:53.011
- But also to unite the country.
- 00:09:53.011 --> 00:09:54.946
- People who can attend,
- 00:09:54.946 --> 00:09:56.448
- Who will be watching the live stream, people who will be
- 00:09:56.448 --> 00:10:00.152
- Present in other ways and present in prayer as well.
- 00:10:00.152 --> 00:10:04.222
- We want to unite this country.
- 00:10:04.222 --> 00:10:06.291
- You know, when we think about
- 00:10:06.291 --> 00:10:07.359
- 1976, 50 years ago, and the bicentennial, people
- 00:10:07.359 --> 00:10:11.263
- May not remember the exact specific details of that day.
- 00:10:11.263 --> 00:10:15.600
- But if you were alive then and you can recall,
- 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.603
- You will remember how you felt.
- 00:10:18.603 --> 00:10:20.672
- And that's what we're trying to do here in a faith based way.
- 00:10:20.672 --> 00:10:24.509
- We're trying to unite
- 00:10:24.509 --> 00:10:25.877
- Not only the people who are attending,
- 00:10:25.877 --> 00:10:27.579
- But really the country around the pillar of prayer.
- 00:10:27.579 --> 00:10:31.049
- So that going forward,
- 00:10:31.049 --> 00:10:32.684
- We have renewed our foundation in the lord
- 00:10:32.684 --> 00:10:35.854
- And really the very foundation of this country in him.
- 00:10:35.854 --> 00:10:38.924
- Yeah. amen.
- 00:10:38.924 --> 00:10:40.058
- Ambassador, tell us a bit more about the 17th.
- 00:10:40.058 --> 00:10:42.060
- Look, some big names there, some incredible people
- 00:10:42.060 --> 00:10:44.296
- That all of our viewers will recognize.
- 00:10:44.296 --> 00:10:46.031
- Talk a bit more about that.
- 00:10:46.031 --> 00:10:47.099

- Yes, absolutely.
- 00:10:53.238 --> 00:10:54.439

- Leaders, praise leaders, christian music acts, headline
- 00:10:57.843 --> 00:11:02.380
- Acts that you will all certainly in this audience recognize.
- 00:11:02.380 --> 00:11:05.584
- It is just going to
- 00:11:05.584 --> 00:11:06.585
- Be a very joyous day, full of hope and praise
- 00:11:06.585 --> 00:11:10.222
- And really gratitude to the lord for this wonderful country
- 00:11:10.222 --> 00:11:13.458
- That has given us so many blessings.
- 00:11:13.458 --> 00:11:15.827

- 00:11:15.827 --> 00:11:19.231
- The ufc 250 fight on the white house south lawn.

- 00:11:22.667 --> 00:11:24.136
- As well as the president's birthday.
- 00:11:24.136 --> 00:11:26.138
- And then beyond that, the great american state fair,

- Each with their own pavilion along the mall.
- 00:11:38.717 --> 00:11:41.920
- Showcasing really what makes every state so very special.
- 00:11:41.920 --> 00:11:45.924
- And for the very first time, eric on the national mall,
- 00:11:45.924 --> 00:11:48.860
- A 110ft ferris wheel so you can take a ride
- 00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:53.064
- On that ferris wheel
- 00:11:53.064 --> 00:11:54.166
- And get a new perspective on our nation's capital,
- 00:11:54.166 --> 00:11:57.102
- Which, thanks to president trump, is so much safer,
- 00:11:57.102 --> 00:12:00.906
- So much more beautiful, really.

- And per the president,
- 00:12:24.729 --> 00:12:26.198
- The greatest fireworks display in the history of the world.
- 00:12:26.198 --> 00:12:30.168
- Amazing things happening.

- See you soon. god bless.
- 00:12:42.914 --> 00:12:44.416
- Coming up much more on what's happening
- 00:12:44.416 --> 00:12:47.018
- In our country, overseas and how it affects you.
- 00:12:47.018 --> 00:12:50.188
- That's next. stick around.
- 00:12:50.188 --> 00:12:53.999
- That's next. stick around.
- 00:12:53.999 --> 00:12:57.092
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:12:57.860 --> 00:12:59.928
- The los angeles mayoral race is heating up, and it could shape
- 00:12:59.928 --> 00:13:03.799
- The future of america's second largest city in a very big way.
- 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:08.437
- And folks, this is a race with national implications.
- 00:13:08.437 --> 00:13:12.040
- Stella
- 00:13:12.241 --> 00:13:13.242
- Escovedo is an emmy award winning journalist
- 00:13:13.242 --> 00:13:14.776
- With nearly 20 years of experience.
- 00:13:14.776 --> 00:13:17.112
- And she's breaking down what's really at stake
- 00:13:17.112 --> 00:13:19.781
- And why this moment matters not only for l.a.,
- 00:13:19.781 --> 00:13:22.951
- But for every american.
- 00:13:22.951 --> 00:13:24.953
- Take a look.
- 00:13:24.953 --> 00:13:27.689
- Stella.
- 00:13:27.689 --> 00:13:28.290
- Always great to see you.
- 00:13:28.290 --> 00:13:29.358
- Hey, you're in california still.
- 00:13:29.358 --> 00:13:31.093
- You're an la native and very hot mayor's race right now.
- 00:13:31.093 --> 00:13:34.162
- Spencer pratt make in some ways.
- 00:13:34.162 --> 00:13:36.365
- And we have perhaps a mini mom, donnie, there as well.
- 00:13:36.365 --> 00:13:39.067
- Break that down for us a bit. mondavi 2.0.
- 00:13:39.067 --> 00:13:41.436
- So you have karen bass, who is the current mayor.
- 00:13:41.436 --> 00:13:43.538
- She is running for reelection.
- 00:13:43.538 --> 00:13:45.040
- You have nithya rahman who jumped into the race
- 00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:47.376
- Like literally the last minute,
- 00:13:47.376 --> 00:13:49.011
- Like the last hours of the race,
- 00:13:49.011 --> 00:13:50.712
- Which we'll get to that in just a second.
- 00:13:50.712 --> 00:13:52.180
- She's a democrat.
- 00:13:52.180 --> 00:13:53.181
- Socialists of america, dsa, you know monami.
- 00:13:53.181 --> 00:13:55.651
- Yeah, that would be manami 2.0.
- 00:13:55.651 --> 00:13:57.552
- And then you have spencer pratt, who's gaining momentum.
- 00:13:57.552 --> 00:14:00.989
- Now here's what i think happened.
- 00:14:00.989 --> 00:14:02.357
- I think what happened
- 00:14:02.357 --> 00:14:03.492
- Was spencer pratt was gaining a lot of momentum okay.
- 00:14:03.492 --> 00:14:06.929
- And the. commercials. great.
- 00:14:06.929 --> 00:14:08.463
- I mean, his social media is on fire.
- 00:14:08.463 --> 00:14:10.866
- And, you know, it's a nonpartisan race, by the way,
- 00:14:10.866 --> 00:14:12.801
- He's not running as a republican.
- 00:14:12.801 --> 00:14:14.102
- He's not running as a democrat.
- 00:14:14.102 --> 00:14:15.370
- He's running to save carlos, to save l.a..
- 00:14:15.370 --> 00:14:18.573
- I mean, there's homeless people all over the place.
- 00:14:18.573 --> 00:14:20.442
- His home burned down in the in the palisades.
- 00:14:20.442 --> 00:14:23.045
- It's out of control.
- 00:14:23.045 --> 00:14:24.313
- It's like, i think there's, like, a sense right now in l.a.
- 00:14:24.313 --> 00:14:28.383
- That there's a chance,
- 00:14:28.383 --> 00:14:29.484
- There's a fighting chance, and people have hope.
- 00:14:29.484 --> 00:14:32.754
- So nithya rahman jumps into the race and, you know,
- 00:14:32.754 --> 00:14:36.892
- Nithya was campaigning before with mayor bass.
- 00:14:36.892 --> 00:14:42.331
- So the goal right now is
- 00:14:42.331 --> 00:14:43.966
- I don't think nithya rahman has enough votes,
- 00:14:43.966 --> 00:14:45.934
- But the goal was to keep spencer pratt out of the race. and
- 00:14:45.934 --> 00:14:50.939
- Look, the primaries june 2nd.
- 00:14:51.573 --> 00:14:53.875
- And we're we're being
- 00:14:53.875 --> 00:14:55.644
- We're telling people to get out there and vote now.
- 00:14:55.644 --> 00:14:57.546
- Don't even wait until just like june 2nd,
- 00:14:57.546 --> 00:14:59.381
- Because anyone
- 00:14:59.381 --> 00:15:00.449
- Who gets more than 50% of the vote,
- 00:15:00.449 --> 00:15:02.284
- They don't go even to the general election.
- 00:15:02.284 --> 00:15:04.186
- Your mayor is june 3rd. that's it.
- 00:15:04.186 --> 00:15:05.787
- Whoever gets voted in june 2nd,
- 00:15:05.787 --> 00:15:07.389
- If they get over 50% of the vote. yeah.
- 00:15:07.389 --> 00:15:09.291
- And you said off camera we're chatting.
- 00:15:09.291 --> 00:15:10.759
- Stella, we can't let l.a. become new york city.
- 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:13.028
- No. and so you have a lot of people in l.a.
- 00:15:13.028 --> 00:15:15.697
- Who are fighting for their lives. really.
- 00:15:15.697 --> 00:15:18.533
- They're like, we have to save l.a.
- 00:15:18.533 --> 00:15:20.135
- We saw what's happening
- 00:15:20.135 --> 00:15:21.436
- In new york, what happened in new york?
- 00:15:21.436 --> 00:15:23.038
- People were kind of asleep, really.
- 00:15:23.038 --> 00:15:25.073
- They were asleep as it was happening.
- 00:15:25.073 --> 00:15:26.708
- June primaries tend to be kind of slow.
- 00:15:26.708 --> 00:15:29.111
- You know, it's summer time.
- 00:15:29.111 --> 00:15:30.545
- People don't even know the elections are happening.
- 00:15:30.545 --> 00:15:32.881
- And so that's why we're telling people
- 00:15:32.881 --> 00:15:34.282
- To get out there and vote.
- 00:15:34.282 --> 00:15:35.951
- Vote now.
- 00:15:35.951 --> 00:15:36.785
- Like your life is on the line.
- 00:15:36.785 --> 00:15:38.854
- Yeah.
- 00:15:38.854 --> 00:15:39.921
- And one of the reasons new york city fell to zoran
- 00:15:39.921 --> 00:15:41.256
- Mamdani is the powerful muslim voting bloc there, stella.
- 00:15:41.256 --> 00:15:44.559
- We'll call it the muslim bloc.
- 00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:45.727
- And so you shared this clip on social media
- 00:15:45.727 --> 00:15:47.529
- Just the other day about someone breaking that down.
- 00:15:47.529 --> 00:15:49.264
- Take a look.
- 00:15:49.264 --> 00:15:50.599
- State level politics is more effective,
- 00:15:51.466 --> 00:15:54.803
- And muslims can have a greater impact
- 00:15:54.803 --> 00:15:56.671
- Because the number of votes you need is much less.
- 00:15:56.671 --> 00:15:59.074
- And elections were only 16% of registered
- 00:15:59.074 --> 00:16:02.844
- Voters will vote
- 00:16:02.844 --> 00:16:03.779
- At the municipal level, at the state level,
- 00:16:03.779 --> 00:16:05.547
- And even at the congressional level, we're okay 100%.
- 00:16:05.547 --> 00:16:08.750
- Can you tell me how? yeah.
- 00:16:08.750 --> 00:16:10.652
- Congressional district 11.
- 00:16:10.652 --> 00:16:11.953
- In virginia, we have 54,000 registered muslims.
- 00:16:11.953 --> 00:16:15.323
- Your win number is going to be less than 20,000.
- 00:16:15.323 --> 00:16:18.393
- Muslims can go and put a muslim in there.
- 00:16:18.393 --> 00:16:20.729
- So in our election, it was just announced
- 00:16:20.729 --> 00:16:23.698
- It's going to be larger.
- 00:16:23.698 --> 00:16:26.468
- That's how it's about building power.
- 00:16:26.468 --> 00:16:28.270
- It's about having leverage.
- 00:16:28.270 --> 00:16:29.704
- How do we change policy in america?
- 00:16:29.704 --> 00:16:32.207
- Building political power here recently established
- 00:16:32.207 --> 00:16:35.744
- Something called the muslim community action network,
- 00:16:35.744 --> 00:16:38.580
- Where we organize muslims at every district level,
- 00:16:38.580 --> 00:16:41.516
- At every major.
- 00:16:41.516 --> 00:16:42.784
- By the way, in almost every district,
- 00:16:42.784 --> 00:16:44.853
- Congressional district.
- 00:16:44.853 --> 00:16:46.154
- There are about 10 to 15,000 muslim voters.
- 00:16:46.154 --> 00:16:49.825
- And i can tell you that number in almost
- 00:16:49.825 --> 00:16:53.161
- The majority of the races can make it or break it,
- 00:16:53.161 --> 00:16:56.431
- Either in the primary or the general election.
- 00:16:56.431 --> 00:16:58.533
- Race has just been officially called.
- 00:16:58.533 --> 00:17:00.068
- Redistricting has passed here in virginia,
- 00:17:00.068 --> 00:17:02.838
- Removing three of congress's biggest islamophobes
- 00:17:02.838 --> 00:17:05.674
- And also giving democrats more seats
- 00:17:05.674 --> 00:17:07.242
- In congress to protect against the trump agenda.
- 00:17:07.242 --> 00:17:09.511
- This also means new districts
- 00:17:09.511 --> 00:17:10.912
- With no sitting members, where we can
- 00:17:10.912 --> 00:17:12.881
- Fight for candidates that reflect our values.
- 00:17:12.881 --> 00:17:15.183
- With this referendum passing, we're now going into
- 00:17:15.183 --> 00:17:17.252
- Our endorsement process where we vet candidates
- 00:17:17.252 --> 00:17:19.454
- And decide who we're going to support this election cycle.
- 00:17:19.454 --> 00:17:22.624
- So we've warned about this.
- 00:17:23.225 --> 00:17:24.459
- In the uk in particular muslims, a growing migrant population
- 00:17:24.459 --> 00:17:28.196
- Is becoming a powerful voting bloc.
- 00:17:28.196 --> 00:17:29.898
- But you're concerned it's
- 00:17:29.898 --> 00:17:31.133
- Going to happen here in america as well.
- 00:17:31.133 --> 00:17:32.534
- It's already happening. that's what happened in new york city.
- 00:17:32.534 --> 00:17:34.603
- You had the muslim bloc that went heavy from under me
- 00:17:34.603 --> 00:17:37.672
- Who voted for my nominee.
- 00:17:37.672 --> 00:17:38.640
- They say, you know, that the jewish people
- 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:40.408
- Are some kind of a cult.
- 00:17:40.408 --> 00:17:41.510
- They often talk about jews being a call.
- 00:17:41.510 --> 00:17:42.944
- I don't vote for chuck schumer, you know what i'm saying?
- 00:17:42.944 --> 00:17:45.514
- But the muslim bloc really sticks with the muslim, who?
- 00:17:45.514 --> 00:17:51.286
- Whoever is in charge. and, you know, look who's madame.
- 00:17:51.286 --> 00:17:54.122
- Who was madame before, really?
- 00:17:54.122 --> 00:17:55.924
- He came. he kind of came out of nowhere.
- 00:17:55.924 --> 00:17:57.893
- So that's why we always tell people local elections matter.
- 00:17:57.893 --> 00:18:00.795
- Look at your school boards.
- 00:18:00.795 --> 00:18:01.830
- Because out of the school boards,
- 00:18:01.830 --> 00:18:02.764
- They can go to city council
- 00:18:02.764 --> 00:18:04.432
- From city council, then they're all of a sudden
- 00:18:04.432 --> 00:18:05.934
- They're running an nithya rahman.
- 00:18:05.934 --> 00:18:08.036
- She's a dsa,
- 00:18:08.036 --> 00:18:10.138
- City council member who is running for mayor of l.a.
- 00:18:10.138 --> 00:18:13.375
- Yeah.
- 00:18:13.375 --> 00:18:14.442
- I know, it's happening again and again in europe
- 00:18:14.442 --> 00:18:16.378
- Was kind of the blueprint and a cautionary tale.
- 00:18:16.378 --> 00:18:18.813
- But now we're seeing it here
- 00:18:18.813 --> 00:18:20.148
- In texas, even new york, minneapolis, virginia,
- 00:18:20.148 --> 00:18:23.151
- The list goes on.
- 00:18:23.151 --> 00:18:24.419
- These powerful islamic voting blocs, they are forming stellar.
- 00:18:24.419 --> 00:18:27.455
- But we also have the radical left
- 00:18:27.455 --> 00:18:29.491
- Still forming powerful blocs as well, including california.
- 00:18:29.491 --> 00:18:32.160
- Once again, we talked about l.a.
- 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.162
- Governor of california hot race right now
- 00:18:34.162 --> 00:18:36.765
- Katie porter, the democrat, one of the candidates.
- 00:18:36.765 --> 00:18:39.834
- I think it was a day after the attempted
- 00:18:39.834 --> 00:18:41.770
- Assassination attempt against president trump.
- 00:18:41.770 --> 00:18:43.572
- Text messages did.
- 00:18:43.572 --> 00:18:44.673
- Or she texted she she sent a message saying f trump.
- 00:18:44.673 --> 00:18:47.509
- F trump.
- 00:18:47.509 --> 00:18:48.443
- Literally, like there was an assassination
- 00:18:48.443 --> 00:18:50.078
- Attempt on our president. thank goodness nobody was hurt.
- 00:18:50.078 --> 00:18:52.714
- I mean, there were all these politicians.
- 00:18:52.714 --> 00:18:54.149
- The first lady was there and she says fs trump.
- 00:18:54.149 --> 00:18:56.751
- She never mentions the assassination attempt.
- 00:18:56.751 --> 00:18:59.154
- And that's not the first time she that that's like her m.o.
- 00:18:59.154 --> 00:19:01.623
- This is what she does.
- 00:19:01.623 --> 00:19:02.691
- She sends these text messages out crude f trump.
- 00:19:02.691 --> 00:19:05.260
- Good thing is she's polling really low in the
- 00:19:05.260 --> 00:19:08.196
- In the democrat race.
- 00:19:08.196 --> 00:19:09.164
- In the top portion of this race,
- 00:19:09.164 --> 00:19:10.765
- You have sheriff chad bianco, who's a conservative.
- 00:19:10.765 --> 00:19:13.568
- You have,
- 00:19:13.568 --> 00:19:14.970
- Why am i seeing helton?
- 00:19:15.470 --> 00:19:16.838
- Excuse me, i went blank.
- 00:19:16.838 --> 00:19:18.273
- There's a huge possibility that those two
- 00:19:18.273 --> 00:19:21.209
- Could be in the general election.
- 00:19:21.209 --> 00:19:23.745
- And i just saw something that cnn posted the other day,
- 00:19:23.745 --> 00:19:26.348
- And it's like cnn is freaking out.
- 00:19:26.348 --> 00:19:27.849
- My goodness, in deep blue california.
- 00:19:27.849 --> 00:19:30.418
- Well, you know what?
- 00:19:30.418 --> 00:19:31.319
- People are waking up
- 00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:32.554
- And it's not as blue as people think it is.
- 00:19:32.554 --> 00:19:34.456
- Yeah.
- 00:19:34.456 --> 00:19:35.657
- In 2024, a number of counties actually flipped to trump.
- 00:19:35.657 --> 00:19:38.093
- Yeah, in california, 100%.
- 00:19:38.093 --> 00:19:40.295
- When you have the big cities,
- 00:19:40.295 --> 00:19:41.463
- Like much of america, it's a different story.
- 00:19:41.463 --> 00:19:43.765
- Hey, last question.
- 00:19:43.765 --> 00:19:44.733
- We're at the israel advocacy day event in dc.
- 00:19:44.733 --> 00:19:46.701
- Stella, and you and i are honored to be alongside you.
- 00:19:46.701 --> 00:19:50.372
- But we talked about the coarseness of the dialog,
- 00:19:50.372 --> 00:19:53.341
- Especially coming from the radical left and islamist.
- 00:19:53.341 --> 00:19:56.044
- And a lot of that is now channeled
- 00:19:56.044 --> 00:19:57.779
- Not only towards israel, but christians who support israel.
- 00:19:57.779 --> 00:20:01.049
- Yeah, it's.
- 00:20:01.049 --> 00:20:02.284
- A bit more about that dynamic, why this event is so important.
- 00:20:02.284 --> 00:20:04.319
- First of all, it's such an honor to be here
- 00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:05.887
- Alongside you and alongside the christian community.
- 00:20:05.887 --> 00:20:08.323
- I always say this when i speak.
- 00:20:08.323 --> 00:20:09.891
- I say the jews never stand alone.
- 00:20:09.891 --> 00:20:11.893
- They stand with their christian brothers and sisters.
- 00:20:11.893 --> 00:20:14.062
- So thank you.
- 00:20:14.062 --> 00:20:15.096
- It is so important that you guys stand with us.
- 00:20:15.096 --> 00:20:17.332
- But, you know, i was just having a conversation
- 00:20:17.332 --> 00:20:19.200
- With somebody here, another pastor here
- 00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:20.635
- Who said the first time he realized
- 00:20:20.635 --> 00:20:22.804
- What anti-semitism is and what jews actually
- 00:20:22.804 --> 00:20:26.074
- Go through on a daily basis, when he held an event
- 00:20:26.074 --> 00:20:28.376
- With jewish people at his church.
- 00:20:28.376 --> 00:20:30.278
- And the next day it was vandalized,
- 00:20:30.278 --> 00:20:32.414
- And the rabbis came to his rescue and said,
- 00:20:32.414 --> 00:20:34.582
- Welcome to our world.
- 00:20:34.582 --> 00:20:36.184
- This is our world, eric.
- 00:20:36.184 --> 00:20:37.919
- This is our world.
- 00:20:37.919 --> 00:20:38.820
- Our schools,
- 00:20:38.820 --> 00:20:40.288
- You know, have security guards all over the jewish schools,
- 00:20:40.288 --> 00:20:43.058
- Supermarkets.
- 00:20:43.058 --> 00:20:44.092
- Now, any like everything has to have a security.
- 00:20:44.092 --> 00:20:47.128
- Like we're always on the lookout.
- 00:20:47.128 --> 00:20:49.297
- You know, my jewish star.
- 00:20:49.297 --> 00:20:50.832
- You know,
- 00:20:50.832 --> 00:20:51.833
- I don't always feel safe wearing my jewish star
- 00:20:51.833 --> 00:20:53.301
- Because i don't know if i'm going to be targeted
- 00:20:53.301 --> 00:20:55.103
- And is, you know, as proud as i am, i'm scared.
- 00:20:55.103 --> 00:20:58.139
- Yeah. it's scary.
- 00:20:58.573 --> 00:20:59.641
- So it is so important
- 00:20:59.641 --> 00:21:00.875
- To have our christian brothers and sisters stand alongside us.
- 00:21:00.875 --> 00:21:04.245
- And so i just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
- 00:21:04.245 --> 00:21:06.214
- Really. thank you.
- 00:21:06.214 --> 00:21:07.415
- Thank you.
- 00:21:07.415 --> 00:21:08.483
- We're with you all the way shoulder to shoulder.
- 00:21:08.483 --> 00:21:10.919
- God bless. thank you guys.
- 00:21:10.919 --> 00:21:12.954
- Up next, america faces a big decision.
- 00:21:13.788 --> 00:21:16.891
- Which way will we choose?
- 00:21:16.891 --> 00:21:19.627
- My final thoughts after the break.
- 00:21:19.627 --> 00:21:21.930
- Stick around.
- 00:21:21.930 --> 00:21:23.998
- Stick around.
- 00:21:23.998 --> 00:21:26.276
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks,
- 00:21:27.144 --> 00:21:29.113
- As we wrap up here.
- 00:21:29.113 --> 00:21:30.147
- Look, i think we have two choices as americans.
- 00:21:30.147 --> 00:21:33.217
- New york city back in november 2025
- 00:21:33.217 --> 00:21:36.387
- Did not choose wisely, as we saw earlier
- 00:21:36.387 --> 00:21:39.156
- Anti-israel, antisemitic mobs and anti-american.
- 00:21:39.156 --> 00:21:42.393
- By the way, they're burning israeli
- 00:21:42.393 --> 00:21:43.627
- Flags and american flags as well.
- 00:21:43.627 --> 00:21:45.763
- They're on the march right now in new york city
- 00:21:45.763 --> 00:21:47.698
- With no pushback from islamo communist mayor
- 00:21:47.698 --> 00:21:51.068
- Zoran mamdani, who is notoriously anti-israel.
- 00:21:51.068 --> 00:21:55.038
- So that's one choice.
- 00:21:55.038 --> 00:21:56.507
- Again, new york city chose poorly, i'm sad to say.
- 00:21:56.507 --> 00:21:59.410
- Our nation's largest city and financial capital.
- 00:21:59.410 --> 00:22:02.045
- I believe america, in a larger sense nationally, chose
- 00:22:02.045 --> 00:22:05.482
- Very wisely in november 2024 between socialism, kamala harris
- 00:22:05.482 --> 00:22:10.621
- And president trump,
- 00:22:10.621 --> 00:22:11.789
- And now we can go the new york city route
- 00:22:11.789 --> 00:22:15.159
- Or which leads to oblivion, by the way.
- 00:22:15.159 --> 00:22:17.060
- Or we can do what we're doing more of may 17th.
- 00:22:17.060 --> 00:22:20.931
- We're rededicating this nation to the lord
- 00:22:20.931 --> 00:22:23.534
- On the national mall.
- 00:22:23.534 --> 00:22:24.635
- Our tbn team will be there.
- 00:22:24.635 --> 00:22:26.403
- We'll be covering it live here
- 00:22:26.403 --> 00:22:28.005
- For stat québec tonight and some very special programs.
- 00:22:28.005 --> 00:22:30.407
- An entire weekend on tbn.
- 00:22:30.407 --> 00:22:32.109
- And again, it's may 17th.
- 00:22:32.109 --> 00:22:34.111
- America 250 rededicating america to the to the lord.
- 00:22:34.111 --> 00:22:39.383
- Look, this is biblical, folks.
- 00:22:39.383 --> 00:22:40.784
- This is a josiah like moment.
- 00:22:40.784 --> 00:22:42.586
- I don't exaggerate
- 00:22:42.586 --> 00:22:43.687
- To rededicate the nation publicly to the lord.
- 00:22:43.687 --> 00:22:47.090
- I think of joshua 2415 but if serving the lord
- 00:22:47.090 --> 00:22:50.461
- Seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves
- 00:22:50.461 --> 00:22:53.864
- This day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors
- 00:22:53.864 --> 00:22:57.668
- Served beyond the euphrates,
- 00:22:57.668 --> 00:22:59.403
- Or the gods of the amorites, in whose land you are living.
- 00:22:59.403 --> 00:23:02.573
- But as for me and my household, we will serve the lord.
- 00:23:02.573 --> 00:23:07.211
- Amen.
- 00:23:07.444 --> 00:23:08.111
- That's got to be the spirit
- 00:23:08.111 --> 00:23:09.112
- We have as americans, as we march forward into
- 00:23:09.112 --> 00:23:12.015
- What could be a glorious future, but only if god is
- 00:23:12.015 --> 00:23:15.319
- At the center of it. tomorrow, pesach will be with us.
- 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.255
- Rachel goldberg going to be a great show.
- 00:23:18.255 --> 00:23:20.224
- Until then, god bless you and we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:20.224 --> 00:23:20.224
