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.

  • Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:00:03.226 --> 00:00:04.561
  • I'm erick stakelbeck and this is it.
  • 00:00:04.561 --> 00:00:07.263
  • Time for choosing.
  • 00:00:07.263 --> 00:00:09.332
  • Either you stand with butchers and baby killers or you don't.
  • 00:00:09.332 --> 00:00:14.337
  • Good or evil.
  • 00:00:14.337 --> 00:00:16.172
  • Darkness or light.
  • 00:00:16.172 --> 00:00:18.041
  • What's it going to be? america?
  • 00:00:18.041 --> 00:00:19.709
  • What's it going to be? europe.
  • 00:00:19.709 --> 00:00:21.478
  • What's it going to be?
  • 00:00:21.478 --> 00:00:23.012
  • Christians.
  • 00:00:23.012 --> 00:00:24.114
  • The choice before you has never been more clear.
  • 00:00:24.114 --> 00:00:27.317
  • After what we saw earlier today in gaza,
  • 00:00:27.317 --> 00:00:30.253
  • Where demonic savages held a big party.
  • 00:00:30.253 --> 00:00:34.290
  • What was the occasion?
  • 00:00:34.290 --> 00:00:35.625
  • Well, they gathered to celebrate murdering shiri beavers
  • 00:00:35.625 --> 00:00:40.196
  • And her two children, four year old ariel
  • 00:00:40.196 --> 00:00:43.099
  • And his brother kiefer, a nine month old baby.
  • 00:00:43.099 --> 00:00:46.870
  • Folks remember their names and take a second
  • 00:00:46.870 --> 00:00:49.672
  • To really wrap your head around what i just said.
  • 00:00:49.672 --> 00:00:53.143
  • On october 7th, 2023, hamas kidnaped a mother
  • 00:00:53.143 --> 00:00:57.180
  • And her two babies, dragged them back to gaza
  • 00:00:57.180 --> 00:01:00.917
  • And then slaughtered them in cold blood.
  • 00:01:00.917 --> 00:01:03.853
  • And today, they held a huge ceremony
  • 00:01:03.853 --> 00:01:06.656
  • Where they gleefully paraded the coffins of this israeli family
  • 00:01:06.656 --> 00:01:11.327
  • That they butchered and all while cheered on by thousands
  • 00:01:11.327 --> 00:01:15.565
  • Of those so-called innocent palestinian civilians.
  • 00:01:15.565 --> 00:01:19.602
  • Again, they're proud of what they did.
  • 00:01:19.602 --> 00:01:22.672
  • They believe slaughtering a nine month old baby
  • 00:01:22.672 --> 00:01:25.775
  • Is wholly a good and noble act.
  • 00:01:25.775 --> 00:01:29.012
  • And it seems large numbers of their fellow palestinians
  • 00:01:29.012 --> 00:01:32.649
  • Agree with them. take a look.
  • 00:01:32.649 --> 00:02:10.720
  • What you just
  • 00:02:11.087 --> 00:02:11.854
  • Watched is a demonic death cult.
  • 00:02:11.854 --> 00:02:15.091
  • There really aren't
  • 00:02:15.091 --> 00:02:16.059
  • Any words to describe the depths of the evil
  • 00:02:16.059 --> 00:02:18.962
  • And depravity of hamas and its supporters.
  • 00:02:18.962 --> 00:02:21.898
  • The only thing that can be said is that they must be crushed
  • 00:02:21.898 --> 00:02:25.735
  • Decisively.
  • 00:02:25.735 --> 00:02:27.003
  • Just as the nazis were.
  • 00:02:27.003 --> 00:02:28.738
  • Hamas must be completely eliminated.
  • 00:02:28.738 --> 00:02:32.041
  • Now the remains of the baby's family were transported
  • 00:02:32.041 --> 00:02:34.744
  • Back to israel
  • 00:02:34.744 --> 00:02:35.945
  • As part of the cease fire deal between israel and hamas.
  • 00:02:35.945 --> 00:02:39.549
  • In return,
  • 00:02:39.549 --> 00:02:40.717
  • Israel has to release hundreds of palestinian terrorists
  • 00:02:40.717 --> 00:02:44.454
  • With blood on their hands, including some
  • 00:02:44.454 --> 00:02:47.290
  • Who showed up today at the big celebration in gaza.
  • 00:02:47.290 --> 00:02:51.127
  • Folks, please pray for yarden bibas.
  • 00:02:51.127 --> 00:02:54.330
  • He's the husband of shira and father of ariel and kiefer.
  • 00:02:54.330 --> 00:02:57.800
  • Hamas released him from captivity earlier this month,
  • 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.937
  • But now his wife and children are gone.
  • 00:03:00.937 --> 00:03:04.474
  • And on october 7th, hamas also murdered his wife's parents.
  • 00:03:04.474 --> 00:03:09.078
  • Please pray for that israeli man and know this
  • 00:03:09.078 --> 00:03:12.982
  • The kind of evil you saw on full display today
  • 00:03:12.982 --> 00:03:16.019
  • In gaza is much closer to home than you may think.
  • 00:03:16.019 --> 00:03:20.523
  • Earlier this week, a pro-hamas mob descended on an orthodox
  • 00:03:20.523 --> 00:03:25.194
  • Jewish neighborhood in borough park, brooklyn.
  • 00:03:25.194 --> 00:03:28.197
  • They chanted anti-semitic slogans and attacked jews
  • 00:03:28.197 --> 00:03:32.568
  • In america.
  • 00:03:32.568 --> 00:03:33.836
  • Again, this is a time for choosing.
  • 00:03:33.836 --> 00:03:38.007
  • It may start with the jews, but it never ends with the jews.
  • 00:03:38.007 --> 00:03:41.878
  • In fact, there's an old saying in the world of jihad.
  • 00:03:41.878 --> 00:03:45.748
  • First the saturday people, the jews,
  • 00:03:45.748 --> 00:03:48.685
  • Then the sunday people, the christians.
  • 00:03:48.685 --> 00:03:52.121
  • Here's the good news.
  • 00:03:52.121 --> 00:03:53.456
  • More and more people are waking up to this fact.
  • 00:03:53.456 --> 00:03:56.759
  • And we now have a government
  • 00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:58.261
  • That knows the difference between good and evil
  • 00:03:58.261 --> 00:04:02.265
  • Because there are no gray areas in this fight.
  • 00:04:02.265 --> 00:04:06.536
  • And coming up, we're joined by a former trump
  • 00:04:06.536 --> 00:04:08.471
  • Administration official who's on the front lines of it.
  • 00:04:08.471 --> 00:04:11.908
  • And it all starts now.
  • 00:04:11.908 --> 00:04:30.693
  • Iran's regime just
  • 00:04:31.127 --> 00:04:32.729
  • Mark, 46 years since it took power in the iranian revolution,
  • 00:04:32.729 --> 00:04:37.300
  • Decades of terror and misery not only for the region,
  • 00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:41.437
  • But especially for the iranian people.
  • 00:04:41.437 --> 00:04:44.273
  • But there are now signs that the ayatollahs are
  • 00:04:44.273 --> 00:04:47.143
  • In serious trouble, both at home and abroad.
  • 00:04:47.143 --> 00:04:50.613
  • Could 2025 be a year of reckoning
  • 00:04:50.613 --> 00:04:53.583
  • For the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism?
  • 00:04:53.583 --> 00:04:56.886
  • Ellie conine served in the first trump administration as u.s.
  • 00:04:56.886 --> 00:05:00.256
  • Deputy special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism,
  • 00:05:00.256 --> 00:05:04.060
  • And she is a foremost expert
  • 00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:06.095
  • On all things iran and middle east.
  • 00:05:06.095 --> 00:05:08.297
  • Ellie, great to see you as always.
  • 00:05:08.297 --> 00:05:10.566
  • Hey, benjamin netanyahu on sunday reiterated the point
  • 00:05:10.566 --> 00:05:13.436
  • That iran will not become a nuclear power on his watch.
  • 00:05:13.436 --> 00:05:17.740
  • President trump has said it repeatedly
  • 00:05:17.740 --> 00:05:19.976
  • Since taking office again a few weeks ago.
  • 00:05:19.976 --> 00:05:22.445
  • Between bibi and trump
  • 00:05:22.445 --> 00:05:24.247
  • Being very adamant about preventing a nuclear iran,
  • 00:05:24.247 --> 00:05:28.384
  • Do you believe that iran's nuclear program could
  • 00:05:28.384 --> 00:05:31.020
  • Be on borrowed time?
  • 00:05:31.020 --> 00:05:33.856
  • Erica, first of
  • 00:05:33.856 --> 00:05:34.824
  • All, great to be back on with you.
  • 00:05:34.824 --> 00:05:37.894
  • I think that you are spot on in raising
  • 00:05:37.894 --> 00:05:41.431
  • This question about is 2025 the year
  • 00:05:41.431 --> 00:05:44.500
  • Where the iranian regime's nuclear program
  • 00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:48.004
  • Takes a hit that they can't recover from?
  • 00:05:48.004 --> 00:05:52.241
  • I think that the that president trump is certainly giving
  • 00:05:52.241 --> 00:05:55.912
  • The regime the leeway to make some good decisions.
  • 00:05:55.912 --> 00:06:00.082
  • He is, while he came into office and immediately imposed
  • 00:06:00.082 --> 00:06:04.487
  • The maximum pressure sanctions campaign back on the regime.
  • 00:06:04.487 --> 00:06:08.558
  • So the maximum pressure campaign,
  • 00:06:08.558 --> 00:06:10.259
  • Your audience might remember,
  • 00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:11.594
  • Was the strongest economic sanctions campaign
  • 00:06:11.594 --> 00:06:14.430
  • From waged against the country in our history,
  • 00:06:14.430 --> 00:06:17.700
  • Which literally is the end of the trump administration.
  • 00:06:17.700 --> 00:06:21.370
  • The first administration left
  • 00:06:21.370 --> 00:06:22.438
  • The iranian regime bankrupted and weakened.
  • 00:06:22.438 --> 00:06:26.209
  • So those sanctions have now been reimposed on iran.
  • 00:06:26.209 --> 00:06:30.046
  • But at the same time, president trump is giving the iranian
  • 00:06:30.046 --> 00:06:33.449
  • Regime the ability to perhaps strike a deal
  • 00:06:33.449 --> 00:06:37.320
  • Where they would willingly give up their nuclear program.
  • 00:06:37.320 --> 00:06:40.823
  • But at the same time, eric, we're hearing that the israelis
  • 00:06:40.823 --> 00:06:44.460
  • Are planning for a potential strike.
  • 00:06:44.460 --> 00:06:46.896
  • The regime can either peacefully and willingly
  • 00:06:46.896 --> 00:06:49.599
  • Give up the program or they might have it taken away
  • 00:06:49.599 --> 00:06:53.469
  • Without their happy consent.
  • 00:06:53.469 --> 00:06:55.538
  • Yeah, great point.
  • 00:06:55.538 --> 00:06:56.739
  • It seems like president trump, as you said, is giving iran
  • 00:06:56.739 --> 00:06:59.976
  • Essentially one last chance, one last lifeline,
  • 00:06:59.976 --> 00:07:03.913
  • So to speak, to agree to give up its nuclear program.
  • 00:07:03.913 --> 00:07:07.517
  • And if they don't, israel may very well unleash hell
  • 00:07:07.517 --> 00:07:11.587
  • On the iranian regime, in particular its nuclear program.
  • 00:07:11.587 --> 00:07:15.091
  • Speaking of iran, ali,
  • 00:07:15.091 --> 00:07:16.292
  • I mentioned at the top that the iranian people
  • 00:07:16.292 --> 00:07:18.461
  • Have been the main victims of this evil regime.
  • 00:07:18.461 --> 00:07:21.631
  • Is there any chance as unrest grows, we see major protests
  • 00:07:21.631 --> 00:07:25.935
  • At tehran university recently against the regime.
  • 00:07:25.935 --> 00:07:29.305
  • Is there any chance that we see what we've all been hoping for?
  • 00:07:29.305 --> 00:07:32.341
  • I think for years
  • 00:07:32.341 --> 00:07:33.543
  • The iranian people are finally raising up
  • 00:07:33.543 --> 00:07:36.712
  • And overthrowing this regime and establishing a new iran.
  • 00:07:36.712 --> 00:07:40.249
  • Is is that possible in the near future? perhaps.
  • 00:07:40.249 --> 00:07:44.287
  • I'll tell you what.
  • 00:07:44.287 --> 00:07:45.454
  • This regime is an anomaly and anomaly in persian history.
  • 00:07:45.454 --> 00:07:50.493
  • The persian civilization is one of the most ancient
  • 00:07:50.493 --> 00:07:53.496
  • In the world.
  • 00:07:53.496 --> 00:07:54.497
  • And and and i think your audience recognizes
  • 00:07:54.497 --> 00:07:58.067
  • King cyrus, who gave the jews the freedom back in the
  • 00:07:58.067 --> 00:08:02.071
  • First temple period to go back and rebuild the temple.
  • 00:08:02.071 --> 00:08:06.008
  • So so we are you know, the iranians are very ancient
  • 00:08:06.008 --> 00:08:09.879
  • Culture and civilization
  • 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.314
  • And this islamist radical regime is an anomaly.
  • 00:08:11.314 --> 00:08:15.084
  • So i think that they are definitely destined for the ash
  • 00:08:15.084 --> 00:08:18.754
  • Heap of history.
  • 00:08:18.754 --> 00:08:20.022
  • To my mind, it's always a question of when, not if.
  • 00:08:20.022 --> 00:08:23.292
  • Yeah. ali, great point.
  • 00:08:23.292 --> 00:08:24.794
  • And speaking of iran
  • 00:08:24.794 --> 00:08:26.562
  • And the terror it has sown across the region,
  • 00:08:26.562 --> 00:08:28.998
  • I think of hamas, of course, we've got the hostage exchanges
  • 00:08:28.998 --> 00:08:32.735
  • Right now happening.
  • 00:08:32.735 --> 00:08:34.270
  • Hamas between hamas and israel, thank god.
  • 00:08:34.270 --> 00:08:36.906
  • Hostages being released from gaza.
  • 00:08:36.906 --> 00:08:39.475
  • Secretary of state
  • 00:08:39.475 --> 00:08:40.710
  • Marco rubio talked about this and he basically said, look,
  • 00:08:40.710 --> 00:08:43.045
  • Israel needs to do what it needs to do.
  • 00:08:43.045 --> 00:08:45.181
  • But, ali,
  • 00:08:45.181 --> 00:08:45.848
  • Looking forward
  • 00:08:45.848 --> 00:08:46.782
  • And president trump has presented
  • 00:08:46.782 --> 00:08:48.184
  • What i think is a revolutionary plan for gaza.
  • 00:08:48.184 --> 00:08:51.687
  • Looking forward when the dust settles,
  • 00:08:51.687 --> 00:08:55.157
  • What do you see coming down the pike potentially for gaza?
  • 00:08:55.157 --> 00:08:58.928
  • Do you think president trump's
  • 00:08:58.928 --> 00:09:00.096
  • Plan could work, that that could be put into practice?
  • 00:09:00.096 --> 00:09:03.332
  • We see gazans relocated to other arab muslim countries,
  • 00:09:03.332 --> 00:09:07.269
  • And gaza is finally built into something positive,
  • 00:09:07.269 --> 00:09:11.173
  • Courtesy of president trump?
  • 00:09:11.173 --> 00:09:14.310
  • Yeah, absolutely.
  • 00:09:14.310 --> 00:09:15.277
  • President trump
  • 00:09:15.277 --> 00:09:16.379
  • Has now reshaped the paradigm in the middle east.
  • 00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:19.048
  • And i do expect there we're going to see a really
  • 00:09:19.048 --> 00:09:21.517
  • A brand new map of the region in terms of gazans.
  • 00:09:21.517 --> 00:09:25.321
  • Eric, you know,
  • 00:09:25.321 --> 00:09:26.589
  • The gaza and palestinians are the only population in the world
  • 00:09:26.589 --> 00:09:30.192
  • Where when there is a war where they're living,
  • 00:09:30.192 --> 00:09:32.895
  • They are not giving given any opportunity to leave a war zone.
  • 00:09:32.895 --> 00:09:37.233
  • And the reason that is, eric, is because the palestinians
  • 00:09:37.233 --> 00:09:40.302
  • Have always been used as political pawns
  • 00:09:40.302 --> 00:09:42.972
  • Against israel to create this, you know,
  • 00:09:42.972 --> 00:09:45.274
  • Israeli-palestinian conflict that is supposed to have no end.
  • 00:09:45.274 --> 00:09:49.245
  • And so the minute you would allow the gazans to be refugees
  • 00:09:49.245 --> 00:09:52.982
  • Like any other refugee population,
  • 00:09:52.982 --> 00:09:55.151
  • Think about the syrians who have gone to europe.
  • 00:09:55.151 --> 00:09:57.853
  • Think about the ukrainians who have escaped
  • 00:09:57.853 --> 00:09:59.822
  • Ukraine and gone all over the world. right.
  • 00:09:59.822 --> 00:10:01.857
  • You have this happened.
  • 00:10:01.857 --> 00:10:03.125
  • This is a very normal thing when there's a war going on,
  • 00:10:03.125 --> 00:10:05.728
  • The population leaves.
  • 00:10:05.728 --> 00:10:07.396
  • So so, eric,
  • 00:10:07.396 --> 00:10:08.664
  • I think that president trump's plan is actually the only plan
  • 00:10:08.664 --> 00:10:11.701
  • That makes sense.
  • 00:10:11.701 --> 00:10:12.601
  • It's humanitarian.
  • 00:10:12.601 --> 00:10:13.969
  • Let all those people in gaza who want to leave,
  • 00:10:13.969 --> 00:10:16.472
  • Let them leave.
  • 00:10:16.472 --> 00:10:17.840
  • There are countries that will take them in as refugees.
  • 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.509
  • And at that point, we also, i think, must work
  • 00:10:20.509 --> 00:10:23.412
  • On de-radicalization.
  • 00:10:23.412 --> 00:10:25.047
  • I've written about denazification
  • 00:10:25.047 --> 00:10:27.483
  • Of the gaza population and the palestinian population
  • 00:10:27.483 --> 00:10:31.253
  • As a whole.
  • 00:10:31.253 --> 00:10:32.221
  • And when you do that, and then you move on
  • 00:10:32.221 --> 00:10:34.924
  • To rebuilding gaza in a new way, right.
  • 00:10:34.924 --> 00:10:37.660
  • We cannot return to everything that failed
  • 00:10:37.660 --> 00:10:40.863
  • That region leading up to october 7th.
  • 00:10:40.863 --> 00:10:44.166
  • I believe president
  • 00:10:44.166 --> 00:10:45.201
  • Trump has a vision for the region
  • 00:10:45.201 --> 00:10:46.902
  • That could lead to lasting peace.
  • 00:10:46.902 --> 00:10:49.004
  • And this is, again, a change in paradigm
  • 00:10:49.004 --> 00:10:51.373
  • That no leader before him has brought up.
  • 00:10:51.373 --> 00:10:54.243
  • Yeah, elie, well said.
  • 00:10:54.243 --> 00:10:55.578
  • And by the way, folks, speaking of hamas, we have hamas
  • 00:10:55.578 --> 00:10:59.381
  • Supporters, i'm sad to say, right here
  • 00:10:59.381 --> 00:11:01.383
  • In the united states, and we saw them out
  • 00:11:01.383 --> 00:11:03.185
  • In full force in borough park, brooklyn recently.
  • 00:11:03.185 --> 00:11:07.022
  • After the break, we'll talk to elie
  • 00:11:07.022 --> 00:11:08.557
  • About the rise of anti-semitism right here at home,
  • 00:11:08.557 --> 00:11:11.627
  • Violent anti-semitism in our streets in america.
  • 00:11:11.627 --> 00:11:15.498
  • More with elie conine after the break.
  • 00:11:15.498 --> 00:11:18.067
  • Don't move.
  • 00:11:18.067 --> 00:11:22.005
  • Don't move.
  • 00:11:22.005 --> 00:11:26.039
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:27.374
  • We're talking to our good friend
  • 00:11:27.374 --> 00:11:28.442
  • Elie cohen in l.a. during the first trump
  • 00:11:28.442 --> 00:11:30.644
  • Administration at the state department.
  • 00:11:30.644 --> 00:11:32.346
  • You focused on combating anti-semitism,
  • 00:11:32.346 --> 00:11:35.682
  • And we see an explosion since october 7th
  • 00:11:35.682 --> 00:11:38.952
  • Right here in america.
  • 00:11:38.952 --> 00:11:40.020
  • Europe, of course, but here in america, in elie.
  • 00:11:40.020 --> 00:11:42.723
  • We saw it again just this week in borough park, brooklyn,
  • 00:11:42.723 --> 00:11:46.693
  • Pro-hamas mobs, anti-semitic mobs
  • 00:11:46.693 --> 00:11:49.663
  • In a largely jewish neighborhood taking to the streets
  • 00:11:49.663 --> 00:11:52.166
  • And attacking the jewish residents of this neighborhood.
  • 00:11:52.166 --> 00:11:55.502
  • How alarmed are you by these physical manifestations
  • 00:11:55.502 --> 00:11:59.339
  • Of anti-semitism on the streets of america?
  • 00:11:59.339 --> 00:12:03.010
  • Eric i'm extremely alarmed.
  • 00:12:03.010 --> 00:12:04.545
  • And before this protest,
  • 00:12:04.545 --> 00:12:07.581
  • This is what i actually called the pogrom happened.
  • 00:12:07.581 --> 00:12:11.518
  • I took to twitter,
  • 00:12:11.518 --> 00:12:12.619
  • I took two acts and i said
  • 00:12:12.619 --> 00:12:14.121
  • I called upon the new york governor, kathy hochul,
  • 00:12:14.121 --> 00:12:16.857
  • The mayor, eric adams, to get ahead of this.
  • 00:12:16.857 --> 00:12:20.594
  • I said that this was going to be a modern day
  • 00:12:20.594 --> 00:12:22.462
  • Pogrom in new york's largest jewish neighborhood.
  • 00:12:22.462 --> 00:12:26.733
  • And in fact, it was exactly that.
  • 00:12:26.733 --> 00:12:28.335
  • We've seen reporting
  • 00:12:28.335 --> 00:12:29.469
  • From last night where there was a car ramming attack.
  • 00:12:29.469 --> 00:12:33.073
  • So that's a terror attack.
  • 00:12:33.073 --> 00:12:34.441
  • We've seen images of knives, machetes,
  • 00:12:34.441 --> 00:12:38.445
  • Almost like a giant knife where one of the pro-palestinian
  • 00:12:38.445 --> 00:12:42.182
  • Was trying to stab people.
  • 00:12:42.182 --> 00:12:44.251
  • Tremendous violence at this event.
  • 00:12:44.251 --> 00:12:45.919
  • And eric,
  • 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:46.820
  • The thing that is so frustrating to me
  • 00:12:46.820 --> 00:12:48.522
  • Is that we've seen this play out
  • 00:12:48.522 --> 00:12:50.057
  • In other cities in the country.
  • 00:12:50.057 --> 00:12:51.725
  • In los angeles, there was a very similar event
  • 00:12:51.725 --> 00:12:54.461
  • Where it was a modern day pogrom,
  • 00:12:54.461 --> 00:12:56.730
  • And that is the reason why i called it that.
  • 00:12:56.730 --> 00:12:58.765
  • So new york's authorities failed the jewish community of
  • 00:12:58.765 --> 00:13:02.402
  • New york.
  • 00:13:02.402 --> 00:13:03.470
  • They should have not allowed this to take place.
  • 00:13:03.470 --> 00:13:05.005
  • They should have been more
  • 00:13:05.005 --> 00:13:06.173
  • Prepared to make arrests and they should
  • 00:13:06.173 --> 00:13:07.975
  • Have made arrests much sooner.
  • 00:13:07.975 --> 00:13:10.210
  • This isn't the first time these events are taking place.
  • 00:13:10.210 --> 00:13:12.980
  • And and so, eric, you know, i know that the vast
  • 00:13:12.980 --> 00:13:16.783
  • Majority of americans
  • 00:13:16.783 --> 00:13:19.419
  • Stand against this hatred of jews,
  • 00:13:19.419 --> 00:13:21.655
  • And they stand against this pro-hamas movement
  • 00:13:21.655 --> 00:13:23.657
  • That's been allowed to flourish since october 7th.
  • 00:13:23.657 --> 00:13:26.960
  • But we need to see, unfortunately, this happens
  • 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.063
  • A lot in democrat run cities in states like new york.
  • 00:13:30.063 --> 00:13:33.100
  • We need to see authorities take better action to prevent
  • 00:13:33.100 --> 00:13:36.303
  • Hate crimes is so un-american.
  • 00:13:36.303 --> 00:13:39.539
  • It just goes against every value that this country stands for.
  • 00:13:39.539 --> 00:13:42.843
  • Yeah, a pogrom, elie, in america in 2025
  • 00:13:42.843 --> 00:13:47.648
  • And you mentioned not just in brooklyn.
  • 00:13:47.648 --> 00:13:49.549
  • I mean, we've seen at times square, we've seen in cities
  • 00:13:49.549 --> 00:13:51.652
  • Across the country, of course, on college campuses.
  • 00:13:51.652 --> 00:13:54.588
  • Which brings me to president trump's recent executive orders
  • 00:13:54.588 --> 00:13:58.692
  • To combat anti-semitism.
  • 00:13:58.692 --> 00:14:01.128
  • How much of a difference can that executive action
  • 00:14:01.128 --> 00:14:03.864
  • That president trump has taken
  • 00:14:03.864 --> 00:14:05.599
  • Make in tackling this growing problem in our backyards?
  • 00:14:05.599 --> 00:14:10.837
  • Well,
  • 00:14:10.837 --> 00:14:11.805
  • President trump has taken very swift action,
  • 00:14:11.805 --> 00:14:14.508
  • And it's such a huge contrast to the prior administration.
  • 00:14:14.508 --> 00:14:18.045
  • So, eric, the executive order go gives even more power
  • 00:14:18.045 --> 00:14:22.582
  • To his original executive order back back in 2019,
  • 00:14:22.582 --> 00:14:26.019
  • Which for the first time in american
  • 00:14:26.019 --> 00:14:27.354
  • History, gave jewish college students civil rights
  • 00:14:27.354 --> 00:14:30.357
  • Protection and title six protection.
  • 00:14:30.357 --> 00:14:32.526
  • And so
  • 00:14:32.526 --> 00:14:33.527
  • I'm confident that we're going to see
  • 00:14:33.527 --> 00:14:34.962
  • The universities held to account.
  • 00:14:34.962 --> 00:14:36.897
  • I also want to mention that there is a task force,
  • 00:14:36.897 --> 00:14:42.369
  • An interagency task force that has already been launched
  • 00:14:42.369 --> 00:14:45.405
  • Out of the doj under leo terrell's leadership.
  • 00:14:45.405 --> 00:14:48.809
  • And this is something that i advocated
  • 00:14:48.809 --> 00:14:50.811
  • For in an op ed back in 2020.
  • 00:14:50.811 --> 00:14:52.846
  • So i am thrilled to see that the trump administration really,
  • 00:14:52.846 --> 00:14:55.649
  • Within three weeks of coming into office,
  • 00:14:55.649 --> 00:14:57.684
  • Have already put steps into place
  • 00:14:57.684 --> 00:14:59.853
  • Where they're going to bring a whole of government approach
  • 00:14:59.853 --> 00:15:03.557
  • To combating anti-semitism.
  • 00:15:03.557 --> 00:15:05.325
  • And i am really confident that we're going to see a sea change
  • 00:15:05.325 --> 00:15:09.529
  • In the way this jew hatred is is going to be treated
  • 00:15:09.529 --> 00:15:13.400
  • Where there's no longer going to be tolerance for any of it.
  • 00:15:13.400 --> 00:15:16.236
  • Yeah. elie, last question, about 45 seconds left.
  • 00:15:16.236 --> 00:15:18.839
  • You're such a great friend of the christian community.
  • 00:15:18.839 --> 00:15:20.807
  • What can we what can tbn viewers do during this time to stand
  • 00:15:20.807 --> 00:15:24.711
  • With our jewish neighbors, our jewish brothers and sisters?
  • 00:15:24.711 --> 00:15:28.448
  • Well, first of all, i'm so grateful
  • 00:15:28.448 --> 00:15:29.950
  • For the christian support.
  • 00:15:29.950 --> 00:15:31.785
  • I would say please continue to be politically active.
  • 00:15:31.785 --> 00:15:34.621
  • Make sure your members of congress
  • 00:15:34.621 --> 00:15:36.123
  • Know that you support israel, that you stand
  • 00:15:36.123 --> 00:15:38.358
  • With the jewish community in america.
  • 00:15:38.358 --> 00:15:41.128
  • You know,
  • 00:15:41.128 --> 00:15:42.362
  • And how we need to see that the hate crimes laws are upheld.
  • 00:15:42.362 --> 00:15:45.665
  • And when there are events like what happened in new york,
  • 00:15:45.665 --> 00:15:47.968
  • That there's arrests made and in israel,
  • 00:15:47.968 --> 00:15:50.303
  • We need to see just continued support.
  • 00:15:50.303 --> 00:15:52.005
  • President trump allowed billions of dollars in weapons
  • 00:15:52.005 --> 00:15:55.742
  • Armaments to go go to israel
  • 00:15:55.742 --> 00:15:57.411
  • That they had purchased and were so grateful for that.
  • 00:15:57.411 --> 00:16:00.080
  • But to continue supporting israel,
  • 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:01.982
  • Letting your members of congress know that you demand
  • 00:16:01.982 --> 00:16:06.019
  • That the united states maintain its ever strong
  • 00:16:06.019 --> 00:16:09.589
  • Bilateral relationship with israel,
  • 00:16:09.589 --> 00:16:11.525
  • That love between america and israel continues.
  • 00:16:11.525 --> 00:16:14.361
  • Amen, ellie, great job, as always, folks.
  • 00:16:14.361 --> 00:16:16.430
  • Be sure to follow ellie on x and across social media.
  • 00:16:16.430 --> 00:16:19.533
  • Ellie, great job. we'll see you again soon.
  • 00:16:19.533 --> 00:16:21.234
  • God bless.
  • 00:16:21.234 --> 00:16:22.135
  • And coming up after the break,
  • 00:16:22.135 --> 00:16:23.670
  • We're going to tell you about an israeli product
  • 00:16:23.670 --> 00:16:25.906
  • Made in the holy land.
  • 00:16:25.906 --> 00:16:27.441
  • That's been a game changer for me.
  • 00:16:27.441 --> 00:16:30.143
  • That's next. stick around,
  • 00:16:30.143 --> 00:16:35.002
  • That's next. stick around,
  • 00:16:35.002 --> 00:16:37.454
  • Folks.
  • 00:16:37.654 --> 00:16:38.721
  • Virginia has been and i don't exaggerate a life
  • 00:16:38.721 --> 00:16:41.257
  • Changer for me, and it has been for dr.
  • 00:16:41.257 --> 00:16:44.427
  • Eddie morristown as well, dr.
  • 00:16:44.427 --> 00:16:46.429
  • Morristown, he joins us now.
  • 00:16:46.429 --> 00:16:47.831
  • He's taking virginia.
  • 00:16:47.831 --> 00:16:48.932
  • He's recommending it to his loved ones, his patients.
  • 00:16:48.932 --> 00:16:52.135
  • Doc, first of all, great to have you with us.
  • 00:16:52.135 --> 00:16:54.104
  • Second of all, why virginia, why do you feel so strongly
  • 00:16:54.104 --> 00:16:57.941
  • About this incredible product?
  • 00:16:57.941 --> 00:17:01.711
  • Eric, thank you so much for inviting me to your show.
  • 00:17:01.711 --> 00:17:04.347
  • I'm a huge proponent of longevity
  • 00:17:04.347 --> 00:17:07.217
  • And, you know, i've classically trained in internal medicine
  • 00:17:07.217 --> 00:17:11.121
  • Board, certified as a traditional position,
  • 00:17:11.121 --> 00:17:14.023
  • And then i got certified for the cleveland clinic
  • 00:17:14.023 --> 00:17:16.259
  • And the institute for functional medicine,
  • 00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:18.228
  • Where we try to take patients and improve their longevity
  • 00:17:18.228 --> 00:17:20.997
  • Basically in a scientific fashion.
  • 00:17:20.997 --> 00:17:23.266
  • And there are certain
  • 00:17:23.266 --> 00:17:24.400
  • Phytonutrients that are essential for health.
  • 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:27.737
  • And one of them is spiritual.
  • 00:17:27.737 --> 00:17:29.672
  • And we know that from blue zones.
  • 00:17:29.672 --> 00:17:31.574
  • If you look at these blue zones, people live so much healthier,
  • 00:17:31.574 --> 00:17:34.410
  • So much longer,
  • 00:17:34.410 --> 00:17:35.678
  • And we think it's from these final botanical compounds.
  • 00:17:35.678 --> 00:17:39.249
  • And when i found out that this compound was now available
  • 00:17:39.249 --> 00:17:43.353
  • In present form, which means it's
  • 00:17:43.353 --> 00:17:45.355
  • Extremely valuable, i said, oh, wow,
  • 00:17:45.355 --> 00:17:47.557
  • This is going to actually
  • 00:17:47.557 --> 00:17:49.092
  • Potentially significantly alter my patients
  • 00:17:49.092 --> 00:17:52.162
  • Outcomes, their health status, their energy.
  • 00:17:52.162 --> 00:17:55.198
  • But i had to first put it to the test.
  • 00:17:55.198 --> 00:17:57.167
  • You know, i'm a scientific i'm a physician and
  • 00:17:57.167 --> 00:17:59.802
  • And i took it myself and i was like, oh,
  • 00:17:59.802 --> 00:18:01.437
  • My god, i have better energy and mental awareness and,
  • 00:18:01.437 --> 00:18:05.341
  • You know, praise the lord.
  • 00:18:05.341 --> 00:18:06.509
  • I can function at a higher level.
  • 00:18:06.509 --> 00:18:08.545
  • I can help more people.
  • 00:18:08.545 --> 00:18:09.512
  • Now, i can work 12 hours
  • 00:18:09.512 --> 00:18:11.047
  • A day at a clip without worrying about it.
  • 00:18:11.047 --> 00:18:13.149
  • And then i said, well, what if it helps my patients?
  • 00:18:13.149 --> 00:18:15.084
  • And that's really what got me excited
  • 00:18:15.084 --> 00:18:17.220
  • And this is why i'm here today.
  • 00:18:17.220 --> 00:18:18.755
  • I use the word longevity.
  • 00:18:18.755 --> 00:18:20.957
  • It's all about blood flow, right?
  • 00:18:20.957 --> 00:18:22.559
  • Red is very tall, as you said, a
  • 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:23.893
  • Crucial, crucial ingredient here.
  • 00:18:23.893 --> 00:18:25.895
  • But why is blood flow a blood flow?
  • 00:18:25.895 --> 00:18:28.398
  • I'm sorry.
  • 00:18:28.398 --> 00:18:29.199
  • So important for the average person
  • 00:18:29.199 --> 00:18:30.934
  • Having great blood flow and enhanced blood flow.
  • 00:18:30.934 --> 00:18:33.670
  • You need that nutrient and oxygen delivery system
  • 00:18:33.670 --> 00:18:37.840
  • That's what blood is.
  • 00:18:37.840 --> 00:18:39.042
  • So you need blood flow to sustain every cell of your body.
  • 00:18:39.042 --> 00:18:41.711
  • But what people don't realize is you hear
  • 00:18:41.711 --> 00:18:43.613
  • About the big arteries, like the arteries in your heart,
  • 00:18:43.613 --> 00:18:46.216
  • In your brain. those are the big arteries.
  • 00:18:46.216 --> 00:18:47.750
  • But what about the 60,000
  • 00:18:47.750 --> 00:18:50.753
  • Miles of microscopic blood vessels that you have throughout
  • 00:18:50.753 --> 00:18:54.057
  • Your body?
  • 00:18:54.057 --> 00:18:54.857
  • So blood flow is so critical.
  • 00:18:54.857 --> 00:18:56.859
  • And, you know, if you get worsened blood flow,
  • 00:18:56.859 --> 00:18:59.529
  • You have less oxygen, less nutrients to the cells,
  • 00:18:59.529 --> 00:19:03.533
  • Then you have less detox, a cellular waste from the cell.
  • 00:19:03.533 --> 00:19:07.670
  • The cell,
  • 00:19:07.670 --> 00:19:08.905
  • Just like we have garbage trucks that pick up our government.
  • 00:19:08.905 --> 00:19:10.240
  • Your cells also have garbage
  • 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.841
  • And we can't get the pickup
  • 00:19:11.841 --> 00:19:12.875
  • Trucks to ourselves if we have no blood flow.
  • 00:19:12.875 --> 00:19:14.711
  • And by the way,
  • 00:19:14.711 --> 00:19:15.845
  • Something else that people don't necessarily understand,
  • 00:19:15.845 --> 00:19:17.714
  • You know, they go, well, why does blood flow increase energy?
  • 00:19:17.714 --> 00:19:19.716
  • And what you have to remember is your cell.
  • 00:19:19.716 --> 00:19:22.252
  • Each cell of your body is like an egg.
  • 00:19:22.252 --> 00:19:24.754
  • Imagine you crack an egg, right?
  • 00:19:24.754 --> 00:19:26.756
  • Well, an egg is one cell and the yolk is a nucleus.
  • 00:19:26.756 --> 00:19:30.293
  • And the white part is the cytoplasm.
  • 00:19:30.293 --> 00:19:32.228
  • So that white part is what has the mitochondria,
  • 00:19:32.228 --> 00:19:34.964
  • Which are these little things,
  • 00:19:34.964 --> 00:19:36.099
  • Is microscopic organelles that create energy.
  • 00:19:36.099 --> 00:19:39.535
  • So if i can reach more cells
  • 00:19:39.535 --> 00:19:41.904
  • Because i have better blood flow,
  • 00:19:41.904 --> 00:19:43.339
  • I can activate more mitochondria
  • 00:19:43.339 --> 00:19:45.308
  • And therefore you get more energy.
  • 00:19:45.308 --> 00:19:47.143
  • So that's a mechanism
  • 00:19:47.143 --> 00:19:48.211
  • For how that blood flow improves energy,
  • 00:19:48.211 --> 00:19:49.946
  • Which people don't always understand.
  • 00:19:49.946 --> 00:19:51.281
  • And so it's critical to keep your blood flow
  • 00:19:51.281 --> 00:19:53.449
  • Really maximized.
  • 00:19:53.449 --> 00:19:54.984
  • Yeah, but it's great to know the science behind it.
  • 00:19:54.984 --> 00:19:57.287
  • And you just broke it down in a very easy to understand way.
  • 00:19:57.287 --> 00:20:00.189
  • It's crazy to me, doc,
  • 00:20:00.189 --> 00:20:01.357
  • Because i've been taking it for about two years
  • 00:20:01.357 --> 00:20:04.761
  • And after a few months it would be, say, 9:00 at night, 10:00
  • 00:20:04.761 --> 00:20:08.464
  • At night, maybe working out or doing something work related.
  • 00:20:08.464 --> 00:20:11.501
  • And i would actually stop and say to myself, i'm not tired.
  • 00:20:11.501 --> 00:20:15.204
  • I'm not just completely, you know, worn out.
  • 00:20:15.204 --> 00:20:18.641
  • And i said, what am i doing differently?
  • 00:20:18.641 --> 00:20:20.476
  • Well, i started taking vinegar and now i have that longevity
  • 00:20:20.476 --> 00:20:23.913
  • And that extra energy boost.
  • 00:20:23.913 --> 00:20:25.481
  • Hey, i take the capsules,
  • 00:20:25.481 --> 00:20:27.050
  • But we've got tea and coffee now, which is amazing.
  • 00:20:27.050 --> 00:20:31.087
  • And i love tea as well.
  • 00:20:31.087 --> 00:20:32.322
  • Tell us more about these new products at virginia.
  • 00:20:32.322 --> 00:20:34.691
  • I'm a huge coffee proponent.
  • 00:20:34.691 --> 00:20:36.693
  • I drink one cup on average per day in the morning.
  • 00:20:36.693 --> 00:20:40.096
  • I don't drink past 3:00 because i know it can affect my sleep.
  • 00:20:40.096 --> 00:20:42.999
  • And i'm, you know, monitoring my sleep
  • 00:20:42.999 --> 00:20:45.034
  • With like an ordering and all these bio bio monitors.
  • 00:20:45.034 --> 00:20:48.004
  • So what i do is in the afternoon i prefer to have teas
  • 00:20:48.004 --> 00:20:51.240
  • Because it has half the caffeine right now.
  • 00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:53.409
  • So and i do genetics on people
  • 00:20:53.409 --> 00:20:55.078
  • About one third of the population are slow caffeine
  • 00:20:55.078 --> 00:20:58.381
  • Metabolism, which means they may not even
  • 00:20:58.381 --> 00:21:01.417
  • Be able to afford a caffeinated tea.
  • 00:21:01.417 --> 00:21:02.819
  • So they will want to go
  • 00:21:02.819 --> 00:21:03.586
  • For a decaf tea in the afternoon
  • 00:21:03.586 --> 00:21:05.521
  • So that doesn't affect your sleep.
  • 00:21:05.521 --> 00:21:07.523
  • So the fact that we're now getting it from
  • 00:21:07.523 --> 00:21:08.991
  • A source of tea is very critical because first
  • 00:21:08.991 --> 00:21:11.227
  • It has less caffeine or no caffeine.
  • 00:21:11.227 --> 00:21:13.262
  • Number two,
  • 00:21:13.262 --> 00:21:14.163
  • It has all these extra polyphenol rich
  • 00:21:14.163 --> 00:21:16.899
  • Phytonutrients that will enhance that botanical
  • 00:21:16.899 --> 00:21:22.004
  • Array of antioxidants even further,
  • 00:21:22.004 --> 00:21:24.874
  • Because now you're looking at virtual,
  • 00:21:24.874 --> 00:21:26.576
  • Which is a super powerful antioxidant,
  • 00:21:26.576 --> 00:21:28.778
  • And you're combining it
  • 00:21:28.778 --> 00:21:29.812
  • With all these catechins that are in the tea
  • 00:21:29.812 --> 00:21:32.148
  • That are further anti-inflammatory.
  • 00:21:32.148 --> 00:21:34.350
  • My by, you know, botanicals.
  • 00:21:34.350 --> 00:21:36.819
  • So really,
  • 00:21:36.819 --> 00:21:37.754
  • This is an incredible mixture of plant,
  • 00:21:37.754 --> 00:21:39.555
  • You know, health that you're getting from that tea,
  • 00:21:39.555 --> 00:21:41.824
  • Which is huge.
  • 00:21:41.824 --> 00:21:43.025
  • Yeah, it really is.
  • 00:21:43.025 --> 00:21:44.360
  • And also, hey, it's an incredible product
  • 00:21:44.360 --> 00:21:46.729
  • And these functional teas, that's an amazing thing.
  • 00:21:46.729 --> 00:21:48.931
  • It's funny, my mom growing up,
  • 00:21:48.931 --> 00:21:49.999
  • My mom would say drink tea when i was sick.
  • 00:21:49.999 --> 00:21:52.235
  • Well, virginia, you're getting added benefits there, too.
  • 00:21:52.235 --> 00:21:54.737
  • It's amazing,
  • 00:21:54.737 --> 00:21:55.838
  • Folks, you see the information there on your screen.
  • 00:21:55.838 --> 00:21:57.940
  • Remember to order virginia.
  • 00:21:57.940 --> 00:21:59.709
  • And as i said,
  • 00:21:59.709 --> 00:22:00.777
  • I am definitely a big believer in virginia
  • 00:22:00.777 --> 00:22:03.646
  • As our matt and laurie crowds.
  • 00:22:03.646 --> 00:22:05.415
  • Governor mike huckabee, sheila walsh,
  • 00:22:05.415 --> 00:22:07.450
  • It seems our entire team
  • 00:22:07.450 --> 00:22:08.885
  • Is taking virginia straight from the holy land
  • 00:22:08.885 --> 00:22:11.220
  • On a daily basis.
  • 00:22:11.220 --> 00:22:12.555
  • So call one 880 306590
  • 00:22:12.555 --> 00:22:16.292
  • Or visit virginia tbn icom.
  • 00:22:16.292 --> 00:22:19.429
  • You will not regret it.
  • 00:22:19.429 --> 00:22:20.997
  • Thank you to dr. eddie morris.
  • 00:22:20.997 --> 00:22:22.732
  • And coming up
  • 00:22:22.732 --> 00:22:23.933
  • After the break, my final thoughts on biblical justice.
  • 00:22:23.933 --> 00:22:27.537
  • For what we saw earlier today in gaza.
  • 00:22:27.537 --> 00:22:30.239
  • That's next. stick around.
  • 00:22:30.239 --> 00:22:35.999
  • That's next. stick around.
  • 00:22:35.999 --> 00:22:38.547
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight folks.
  • 00:22:39.414 --> 00:22:40.982
  • As we wrap up here, i'm still thinking about
  • 00:22:40.982 --> 00:22:42.651
  • The horrific demonic display we saw earlier today in gaza
  • 00:22:42.651 --> 00:22:45.987
  • With hamas terrorist parading the remains of the baby's family
  • 00:22:45.987 --> 00:22:49.891
  • Before the eyes of the world and really sick and evil act.
  • 00:22:49.891 --> 00:22:53.662
  • If you're like me, you're feeling righteous anger over it.
  • 00:22:53.662 --> 00:22:56.264
  • But think of psalm 37, verse nine
  • 00:22:56.264 --> 00:22:58.700
  • For those who are evil will be destroyed,
  • 00:22:58.700 --> 00:23:01.536
  • But those who hope in the lord will inherit the land.
  • 00:23:01.536 --> 00:23:05.073
  • I can't think of a more fitting verse for what we see
  • 00:23:05.073 --> 00:23:08.543
  • Right now between israel and hamas in gaza.
  • 00:23:08.543 --> 00:23:11.546
  • Tomorrow, great show.
  • 00:23:11.546 --> 00:23:12.481
  • Jon cooper of skillet is with us.
  • 00:23:12.481 --> 00:23:14.783
  • Also an on the ground report from ukraine.
  • 00:23:14.783 --> 00:23:17.619
  • As a three year anniversary of russia's invasion looms.
  • 00:23:17.619 --> 00:23:20.489
  • It's going to be a good show.
  • 00:23:20.489 --> 00:23:21.590
  • Until then, god bless you and we'll see you soon.
  • 00:23:21.590 --> 00:23:21.590
