In this video 0:00 Praying for Israel and Global Leadership
Praying for Israel and Global Leadership 0:01 From the heart of our nation's capital in Washington, DC, bringing compelling interviews, insightful analysis, taking you beyond the headlines and sound bites into conversations with our nation's leaders and0:12 newsmakers, all from a biblical view. Washington Watch with Tony Perkins starts now.0:19 I think a lot was, determined at that meeting. And I have to meet with Israel, and I have to do that also. They know what I want, and we think I think we can get that 10:30 done. I hope we can get it done.0:33 How was president Donald Trump today at the White House during his meeting with Turkish president Erdogan saying a deal to end the war in Gaza may be within reach? Welcome to this September 20 fifth edition of Washington0:45 Watch. I'm your host, Tony Perkins. Thanks so much for, joining us today. So coming up, president Trump suggested the US could lift sanctions on Turkey and allow it to buy the US f 35 jets. Now what does this in a0:57 wave of Palestinian statehood recognitions at the UN mean for Israel? Chris Mitchell, Middle East Bureau chief at CBN News, will join us live from Jerusalem to break it all down. And1:08 Democrats continue to oppose a clean funding bill that the house passed last week, raising the stakes for a potential government shutdown. Congressman John Maguire of Virginia will join me to explore what this means1:20 and what could happen next. President Trump says a deal to end the war in Gaza could be close. Now this comes after US1:32
1:43 reporter Casey Harper who has been following this story. Casey, what can you tell us about president Trump's peace plan?
1:52 Yeah. Well, thank you, Tony. President Trump met at the White House today with the Turkish president. And during that meeting, the president said that the ongoing talks between the US and key Middle East leaders are
2:02 making progress. That includes Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and Jordan.
2:07 I think we can get that 1 done. I hope we can get it done. A lot of people are dying.
2:11 She's choking the sun.
2:12 But we want the hostages back. We don't want them back 1 this week, 1 in 2 months from now, 3 later, and, you know, like the way it's been going. We got them all back. We got a lot of them back. We got our American the
2:23 American Alexander. We got the American hostages back.
2:28 Now Trump also said he still needs to meet with Israeli officials and emphasized that returning hostages remains a top priority. It's important to note that president Trump made these comments while sitting next to the
2:39 Turkish president, who recently referred to Hamas not as a terrorist group but as a resistance movement. Of course, Hamas is officially designated as a terrorist organization by both the US and Israel. And
2:51 after meeting with Arab leaders at the UN, US special envoy Steve Witkoff, as you said, and along with president Trump, presented a 21 point peace plan for Gaza during talks with Muslim leaders at the General
3:03 Assembly earlier this week. At the UN, several countries recognized the Palestinian state. However, president Trump and others have emphasized that granting statehood at this moment would effectively
3:14 reward Hamas for the October seventh attack, Tony.
3:18 Again, as I've said before, I absolutely agree with that. Congressman, John Maguire of Virginia will join me shortly to discuss this meeting between president Trump and Erdogan. Now on a different topic, Casey,
3:29 a Quinnipiac poll, shows growing worry about democracy and political violence in the United States. What what is, what's behind these fears?
3:42 Yeah. This is kind of an alarming poll, Tony. This poll shows growing pessimism across the country with 53 percent of Americans saying quote, not working, while 41 percent say
3:54 it is. Now this divide is sharply along party lines. 74 percent of Democrats believe the system's broken compared to just 22 percent of Republicans. However, 79 percent of Americans
4:05 overall say the US is in political crisis, Tony.
4:10 Well, a lot to be praying about, when we look at the division that's in this nation. I I wanna go to another topic in in DC. There's, or in the Virginia area. There's reports that the newly
4:22 sworn in US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Lindsey Halligan, is preparing to ask a grand jury to indict the former FBI director, James Comey. What do we know about this?
4:33 Yeah. It's a big update, Tony. Right. For so the former FBI director James Comey, he could soon be indicted for allegedly lying to congress. The prosecutors are expected to present the case to a grand jury in Virginia
4:44 this week. But, of course, Comey was a key figure in the Russia probe and a longtime Trump critic. He's faced growing calls from Republicans to be held accountable. President Trump himself has urged swift action
4:56 saying justice must be served now. So this case is being reviewed by, as you said, the newly appointed US attorney, Lindsey Halligan, after concerns that the previous prosecutor was stalling.
5:08 Casey, 1 more item, and that is the latest on the efforts to fund government. How's that going?
5:14 Well, everyone's watching it, and, of course, you are closely. But the the White House is ordering federal agencies to prepare for large scale layoffs if the government shuts down next week. So NMMO released Wednesday
5:25 night, the Office of Management and Budget instructed agencies to consider cutting jobs in programs that would lose funding and don't align with the president's priorities. Democrats continue to oppose a clean
5:37 funding bill that the house passed last week, raising the stakes for a potential shutdown, Tony.
5:42 Yeah. What's interesting, Casey, is the president in a shutdown can determine what stays open, what doesn't, what gets funded. And I think this was, really kind of a negotiation move saying, hey. You guys wanna shut it
5:54 down? Go right ahead, because this is what we're gonna do. Would not be surprised if this brings the Democrats, to the table. Casey, thanks so much. Appreciate you joining us. Alright. Joining me now to go further into
6:06 president Trump's meeting today with Turkey's, president Erdogan is congressman John Maguire. He's a member of the House Armed Services Committee and the Committee on the Oversight of Government Reform. He represents the
6:18 fifth congressional district of Virginia. Congressman Maguire, welcome back to Washington Watch. Thanks so much for joining us.
6:26 Hey, Tony. Great to see you. I'm on I'm all over the district having meetings today, so I apologize. I'm out of the truck.
6:32 But, no.
6:33 Great to see you again, and, there's a lot going on in the world right now, and it's, an honor to be part of it.
6:40 Congressman, you are a veteran of the United States, Navy. You're a Navy Seal. You understand security concerns. There has, there there's been growing concerns about our
6:52 NATO ally, Turkey. I mean, what's been going on in the Middle East, their hostilities toward Israel. In fact, earlier this week, president Erdogan saying that he did not see Hamas as a terrorist
7:03 organization. Are you concerned that they might have access to the latest US technology like the f 35?
7:11 I'm very concerned about that. And, you know, when I just I was in Israel the first week of August, and they I don't know if you know, but they've uncovered the true city of David. It's like 30 feet on the ground and
7:22 they're digging through there and they're finding old tablets in Hebrew and the leaders of Turkey refuse to recognize it because they recognize that that Hebrew there and those tablets are in Hebrew then it
7:33 acknowledges the ancient existence of the Jewish people in the in the land of Israel. And so I'm I'm definitely concerned about those folks. We're supposed to be on the same team. We're supposed to be allies, but I'm
7:45 very concerned.
7:47 When we look at their priorities, and even what they're doing in in Syria, I do think it is reason to be, concerned with with, president Erdogan. I I do wanna get you to comment a little bit on on
7:59 Israel. I know you were there. I I've actually been to that same site a couple of times. The the president reportedly now we don't know this for certain. It was reported by 3 individuals, the AP reporting at that in some
8:11 of the sideline meetings, that the president had with, Islamic leaders, from the Middle East, saying that he would, not allow Israel to annex, quote,
8:23 unquote, the West Bank, which is Judea and Samaria. Your thoughts?
8:28 Well, I think that, I trust president Trump. I mean, he he's the or the deal and a heck of a peacemaker. And and I also trust b b Netanyahu to know what's going on in his area. I mean, he's
8:40 got 7 fronts, to keep Israel and Israeli people safe. It's a very complicated place. You know, I was there and I went into the West Bank. And I don't know if you know, but when you go into the
8:52 West Bank, there are signs that say no Jews allowed. And I was around these guards that had ninja mask on and AK 40 sevens, and they were surrounding the freshman congressmen. And 1 of them
9:04 had the audacity to say to us, maybe if Israel fed the starving children, we could have peace. And I looked left and I looked right and I couldn't believe anyone wouldn't speak up. So I
9:16 probably shouldn't have done this, but I said maybe if you didn't send ballistic missiles into Israel and kill innocent people. I said maybe if you didn't videotape and laugh while you're killing people and cutting off
9:27 body parts. And I said, maybe if you freed the hostages, then maybe we could have peace. The media is not reporting both sides of the story, and it's very complicated.
9:36 It it it is. In fact, I was speaking with 2 of the governors from, actually, the governor of Judea and the governor of Samaria earlier today. I've been in that region many, many times, and you've described it aptly.
9:48 There are many areas that Jewish people who this is the biblical heartland. The 80 percent of what we read about in the Bible was in Judea and Samaria, and there are places that Jewish people cannot go.
9:59 Israelis cannot go because it's Palestinian area controlled by the Palestinian authority, and they're harboring terrorists. And going back to Turkey, many of the weapons that they have are
10:11 coming through, Jordan from Turkey into Judea and Samaria.
10:18 Well, you're right, Tony, and that's why I'm concerned. Is, you know, president, Ronald Reagan said trust but verify, but if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims like a duck, it might be a duck. So I'm I am
10:29 concerned.
10:30 I know you're, in the district. Many members back in the the district this week going on having, having meetings. The the house last week before you left approved a clean CR. That went over to the
10:42 senate. Senate Democrats have refused to advance it. Give us the latest. How do you see this, playing out?
10:50 Well, 1 thing I would tell the viewers is that they created the modern, budget process in 19 77 with 12 spending bills, which is a budget. We've only ever passed all of
11:02 them 4 times. We've only ever passed all of them 4 times since 19 77. The last 1 we passed, budget, all 12 spending bills was 19 96. So we've been living on
11:14 a CR ever since 19 96, which I would rather have a budget. I'm sure you'd rather have a budget. We passed, we did our job in the House, and we went home. The Senate, Schumer, I think they, I think
11:26 they're playing chicken with president Trump, and they they what they're threatening to shut down the government. But if we do shut down the government, that's on the Democrats.
11:35 Yeah. Again, the the house passing, a clean CR, which, by the way, we've talked about this before the program this week. The Democrats voted for the same funding bill before. They just won't do it now because they're
11:46 trying to extract concessions from the president to spend billions more dollars that have, that were that were cut out by the reconciliation process.
11:57 Yes, Tony. What they wanna do is they put illegal aliens and criminals over law abiding citizens. They want money in this CR to continue paying health care and other programs
12:09 to people who broke the law and came here illegally. And these folks, we don't know 15, 20000000. Many of them are gang members and murderers. As president Trump says, they have been robbing, raping, and killing the
12:20 American people. We have nothing wrong with immigration but legal immigration.
12:24 Right.
12:25 And that's
12:25 why I'm so glad we have Tom Homan and Christy Homan, everybody else, you know, working so hard to, to make our community safer.
12:35 Congressman, we appreciate you taking time to join us as you're out there, crisscrossing your district and always appreciate your, your insights on these, important issues.
12:46 Well, thanks for having me, and please pray for Charlie Kirk's family. I went to that, it was like a it was like a spiritual revival in Arizona. I was there. I felt the spirit. And on the way
12:57 home, I wore a shirt that said freedom on it just like Charlie was wearing. Young people and old came up to me and said they watched online, and they're going back to church for
13:07 the
13:08 first time ever. An 80 year old said that he felt ashamed he didn't know Charlie Kirk. And I've heard that churches are packed and I've also heard that some atheist said they wanna learn more about Jesus now because of
13:19 the assassination of Charlie Kirk. So God bless you. Thanks for having me on.
13:24 Alright. I got
13:24 a lot
13:25 of work to do.
13:25 Thank you, John. And it is unique moment, 1 that we need to, steward appropriately as we pray, for our nation. And, speaking of prayer, we're gonna be praying a little bit later in the program for
13:37 Israel, so stick around for that. Also, wanna remind you, coming up, the pray vote stand summit in California, Calvary Chapel Chino Hills coming up on October
13:49 the seventeenth and eighteenth. You can join us. Go to pray vote stand dot o r g to find out more. Alright. Don't go away. We're back with Chris Mitchell after this.
14:00 3 years ago, the Supreme Court issued its historic Dobbs decision, a ruling that overturned Roe versus Wade, which for nearly 50 years imposed abortion on demand, silencing voters and
14:12 bypassing the democratic process across the country. The Dobbs decision was a huge step forward against abortion, but it didn't outright ban it. It returned the power to the people. Now,
14:23 29 states have laws on the books protecting life. However, there's a catch. Abortion numbers since Dobbs have actually gone up with an increase of 12 percent since 20 20,
14:35 climbing from 930000 to over 1000000 in each of the most recent years. So how can this be? The answer is simple, the abortion drug. Today, over
14:47 60 percent of US abortions involve abortion drugs, many of these without medical oversight. Sight. In 20 21, the Biden administration quietly removed bare minimum long standing safety
14:59 protocols for the abortion drug that have existed for 20 years to protect women from life threatening risks and ensuring informed consent.
15:18 The study shows nearly 11 percent of women who take the abortion drug end up in the emergency room with serious complications. Unless the Trump administration reverses
15:30 these reckless Biden era policies, pro life laws will remain largely symbolic. Without a full review and repeal of mifepristone, unborn lives will remain in grave danger
15:42 and pregnant mothers will remain at risk. Let's stand for life and end this mail order abortion drug pipeline. Sign the petition urging the Trump administration to take action at f r
15:54 c dot org slash stop chemical abortion.
15:59 In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God, and the word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory.
16:11 Family Research Council invites you to join our stand on the word bible reading plan as we reflect upon the life of Jesus, the word who dwelt among us. Come with us
16:23 and discover the glory of the word. Read the gospels
16:39 and of the Holy Spirit. Come with us for 10 to 15 minutes a day and read the entire New Testament before the new year. Find our Bible reading plan in daily devotionals from Tony
16:51 Perkins at frc dot org slash bible. Join us and stand on the word.
17:03 Welcome back to Washington Watch. I'm gonna take just a moment and thank the many, many listeners who have responded to the call to help FRC stop the abortion drug mifepristone. Now most Americans do not know that
17:14 abortion rates have actually gone up since the overturn of Roe. Now despite abortion clinics closing, there are more abortions today. Why? The abortion industry is following the example of the
17:26 retail giants closing the brick and mortar and using the mail. This is only happening though because Biden era policies remain in place. FRC is committed to exposing the truth
17:38 about the abortion drug, protecting mothers and babies, defending the sanctity of life, and stopping the abortion drug. Many states that have pro life laws, those laws are being undermined by the
17:49 abortion drug being mailed into those states, and you can help. And I I ask you to stand with us. Right now, thanks to generous friends of FRC, your support will have triple the impact this week, just this week. But to
18:01 stand with FRC in saving tomorrow's children today, simply text the word unborn to 6 7 7 4 2. That's unborn to 6 7 7 4 2. Let's stop the
18:12 abortion pill that has, in effect, made Roe, the overturn of Roe, of no of no effect. Alright. Text unborn to 6 7 7 4 2.
18:24 Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address the United Nations General Assembly tomorrow and is expected to meet with US special envoy Steve Witkoff today in New York to discuss the war in Gaza. Now earlier
18:36 today during a q and a with reporters in the Oval Office, president Trump was asked about Gaza, and he said, quote, we're close to getting some kind of deal done, end quote. But there are concerns about what that deal
18:46 could entail. Will it be 1 that Israel can get behind? There's been some discussions that the president has said that he would not support or allow Israel to annex areas of Judea and Samaria. Joining me
18:58 now live from Jerusalem to discuss this and other developments is Chris Mitchell, the Middle East bureau chief at CBN News. Chris, welcome back to Washington Watch. Thanks so much for, staying up late to join us.
19:10 No no problem, Tony. Great to be with you.
19:12 Alright. On Tuesday, president Trump met with Arab and Muslim leaders, and what we've heard so far is that the meeting has prompted some concerns. What are you hearing there in Israel?
19:23 Well, there are concerns about that meeting, and and supposedly out of that meeting, it proposed, what Trump proposed was this 21 comprehensive, point plan, to end the war in Gaza, release
19:35 all of the hostages, and then for a post Gaza war governance by perhaps Arab and Muslim nations. 1 of those particularly, issues will
19:47 be what will happen with, sovereignty over Judea and Samaria. Apparently, the UAE, and I presume other nations in that meeting, that would be a nonstarter for them, and that may actually
19:59 break, these, this this protect potential deal. So that is really, concerning for many people that it would, abrogate. It would stop, any annexation or sovereignty over Judea and
20:10 Samaria.
20:11 Well, just this last weekend, I believe that, prime minister Netanyahu said that they're moving forward to further annexation.
20:20 Yeah. I there's a lot of pressure here, momentum, within, his government that it would be, this would be an opportunity for, Israel, especially when all these other nations are,
20:32 declaring for a Palestinian state, France, Canada, the UK, and others. This would be an opportunity to declare that, this potential Palestinian state, really won't
20:44 have, any ability to go ahead and do that, and that the the annexation and the sovereignty would, would make the claim for the biblical heartland of Israel. You've been there many times,
20:55 Tony. I know. And this is the heartland of the Bible. And, this is what many people believe here in Israel, from the coalition government that they really have a claim to that biblically and historically.
21:09 Israel has kinda been a punching bag at the United Nations General Assembly this week. A lot of countries have taken shots, even some historic, historically countries that have been historically been allies.
21:21 What's the sense there in in in Israel as to what they're seeing happen on the national stage? Is this another day, for them, or is there a growing concern?
21:33 I think there's growing concern, Tony, especially almost 2 years after October seventh that there's a growing international some people call it a diplomatic tsunami against, Israel, and it's being
21:45 blamed for a genocide in, is the in Gaza that they don't feel, has any merit. If you can't have a a genocide, if you're pouring in humanitarian aid there,
21:57 and they're doing what probably no other army in history has done by giving, text messages, phone calls, leaflets, trying to get Gazans out of harm's way, and yet, Israel's being
22:08 accused of a genocide. Just yesterday, Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, he was calling, Israeli a genocide. And let me just tell you what, what some of his own
22:20 government is saying. And they're saying, we own a place Israel will come to an end. The goal is to liberate Palestine from the river to the sea. You can find that on a website called Palestinian Media Watch, finding out
22:31 what the Palestinians say in their own language, and and they, in many ways, are calling for a genocide. But so I to your point and question, Tony, I think many people feel like Israel is
22:43 getting increasingly isolated, and Jews around the world are getting, more concerned about their own safety in places like the UK, France, and, places in Europe and even the US.
22:55 What do you anticipate that prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu will say, tomorrow at the General Assembly of the UN?
23:03 Well, I I think he's gonna make a robust defense of what the IDF has done for the past 2 years. He's gonna come against these, calls for genocide. He's also gonna come against, many of the nations that
23:15 have called for a Palestinian state. This is what he said when he was leaving the airport, Tony. He's gonna denounce those leaders who instead of denouncing the murderers, rapists, and child burners on October seventh,
23:26 want to give them a state in the heart of the land of Israel. He says this will not happen. So I think he's gonna have a robust defense of, Israel on the world stage. He's done it many times. He's been there
23:38 many time, but people need to pray for him right now for wisdom, not only tomorrow, but also with this pivotal meeting, I think, on Monday with president Trump.
23:48 Well, Chris, that's a good, segue into, praying. I'm on a we're we're we're praying today on the air for prime minister Netanyahu and Israel, the situation. And, we've got a little,
24:00 less than a minute left. Would you, would you pray?
24:03 Father. Yeah. Thank you, Tony. Father, we just pray right now for president, Trump, for his wisdom. He's been meeting with many, many leaders, and he feels like they're close to a
24:15 breakthrough. So we pray for president Trump right now. And father, we pray especially for prime minister Netanyahu on the verge of a major speech, a pivotal speech in the in the history of Israel and
24:27 subsequent meetings at the White House. We pray for your will to be done through the speech, through these meetings, and that you would have your purposes and plans and that you would defend your chosen people and
24:39 the state of Israel. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen.
24:43 Straight from Jerusalem. Chris Mitchell, thanks so much for, joining us.
24:48 Thanks, Tony.
24:50 Alright, folks. More prayer on the other side of the break, so don't go away. In fact, call your friends. Invite them to join us as we pray.
25:01 Download the new Stand Firm app for Apple and Android phones today. You can join a wonderful community of fellow believers. We've created a special place for you to
25:13 access news from a biblical perspective. Read and listen to daily devotionals, pray for current events, and more. Share the Stand Firm app with your friends, family, and church members, and of
25:25 course, stand firm wherever you go. At Family Research Council, defending the family isn't just a mission. It's our daily calling. Every
25:37 team member at FRC uses their god given talents to stand for biblical truth, protect life, and uphold religious freedom.
25:45 Here at Family Research Council, we face many threats to the family, threats that have been with us for some time, abortion, the gender ideology threat, the attacks on marriage, the attacks on parental authority, and the
25:56 attacks on religious freedom. We have to promote, support, strengthen, and incentivize family growth so families take their place in society in a place of honor.
26:06 I'm defending the family by working in the Center for Biblical Worldview, to provide cutting edge research and resources, for pastors, ministry leaders, and Christian parents.
26:17 Through my work at the Washington Stand, I passionately defend what God has defined for marriage and family. I don't see the Washington Sand as just a place to talk about cultural events. It's a place to share biblical
26:29 truth with the perfect outlet to advance and defend what God has defined as good, true, and beautiful.
26:36 Because of you, we're able to frame things in such a way that help Christians stand for truth on the things that matter most like life, faith, family, and freedom.
26:45 Thank you for standing with us.
26:47 Thank you for your support. It is so critical to the work that we at Family Resource Council are doing day to day as we support and strengthen the family. So thank you.
27:03 Welcome back to Washington Watch. As, we discussed in the last segment with, CBN's Chris Mitchell, this is, an extremely consequential week for Israel. Right now, the world's eyes are on the Jewish nation as
27:15 world leaders are gathered in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly. As we, discussed tomorrow, Israeli's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to speak. Now given the gravity of the moment, we
27:27 wanna pause. We wanna and then and take this time on the air, to pray. So we're dedicating the remainder of today's program to provide you with some perspectives and information so that you can engage
27:38 in prayer for the Jewish nation. Now we wanna use the spiritual authority we've been given as followers of Christ. So we're going to be praying for them from key governmental cities around the world. We just prayed from
27:50 Jerusalem. We're gonna pray, again from Jerusalem, Geneva, New York, and Washington, and we're gonna start by staying in Jerusalem. Joining me is Rick Ridings. He is the founder of Sukkot
28:02 Hillel, a ministry that lifts up worship intercession 24 hours a day from their facility overlooking the Temple Mount, Mount Zion, and the Mount of Olives. For those of you who have watched Washington
28:14 Watch when I've been in Jerusalem, I have, done the program from the top of their building. Rick, welcome to Washington Watch. Thanks for staying up late, to, pray with us.
28:25 Thank you, Tony. It's great to be with you.
28:28 You, you may have heard Chris Mitchell, in as he was discussing the the situation earlier. Would would you lead us, in prayer from Israel's eternal capital, the the the city of Jerusalem?
28:41 Yes. I'd like to start by proclaiming a scripture from Isaiah 28 verses 5 and 6. Says, in that day, the Lord Almighty will be a glorious crown, a
28:53 beautiful wreath for the remnant of his people. In other words, when the nations are coming so strongly against Israel, the Lord has promised that he will come with his, royal
29:05 crown upon them even as he did upon queen Esther at a very strategic moment. It says he will be a spirit of justice to the 1 who sits in judgment, a source of strength to
29:17 those who turn back the battle at the gate. So, Lord God of Israel, we thank you that ultimately you have said the word of the Lord will come forth from Jerusalem. We know that that will be at its
29:29 fullness when Jesus returns and is seated on this hill, in Jerusalem on his holy hill, on his holy throne. But we pray for prime minister Netanyahu that he
29:41 would be a voice for truth, that he would be a voice for true justice, that he would be able to expose many of the lies that have come
29:52 against your purposes and your plans at this time to totally uproot Hamas, to no longer prune them and let them just grow back, even more numerous with more
30:04 tunnels and more missiles and and more terrorists. We believe you that this is the moment the battle is at the gate of this nation. And we believe you to give him
30:16 your word from Jerusalem that he may explain in such a way that any that are open would be able to hear the truth and begin to question what they have, been
30:28 told and what they've been fed. We thank you, Lord, that even in Babylon, you raised up Daniel as a prophetic voice in Babylon. He declared your purposes,
30:40 your plans, and your will. And because he did that, no 1 could say God is not just. I never had an opportunity to hear the truth. Some rejected the
30:51 truth, but even the great king great emperor, Nebuchadnezzar, after he was severely humbled, acknowledged the truth of what Daniel had proclaimed and gave glory to the Lord
31:03 God of Israel as the God above all gods, the only true and living God. So we pray for that Daniel anointing to be upon prime minister Netanyahu, not only in his
31:15 speech, but also in these critical meetings on Monday with president Trump and many world leaders. May no trap, be able to work against him?
31:27 May he have the discernment of Daniel in that situation and the boldness to speak as Daniel spoke in the midst of Babylon. In the name of Jesus, amen.
31:38 Amen. Thank you, Rick. Appreciate that. Thanks for joining us. Speaking of Daniel, we're gonna go to Geneva, Switzerland, where Daniel Obie is, joining us. Switzerland. Geneva, Switzerland is a
31:50 city that is, really at the seat of global government today where the UN Human Rights Council and so many UN and global government bodies are located along with hundreds of, international NGOs. And so we
32:02 want to, we wanna pray from that place. Daniel is founder of Candlelight International, a network of believers that enables individuals to be effective and efficient in transforming their local communities.
32:14 Daniel, welcome to Washington Watch. You got about a minute and a half. I'm gonna ask you to pray.
32:19 Thank you, Tony, for having me, and, I'm so privileged to be with you today. Before I start, I would like to read, a scripture from first Kings, 8 5 to 11.
32:32 5. And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him were with him before the ark. Sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not
32:44 be told no numbered for multitude. 6, and the priest brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord unto his place into the oracle of the house
32:56 to to the most holy place even under the wings of the Cherubims. 7, for the Cherubims spread forth their 2 wings over the place of the ark and the cherubims
33:08 cover the ark and the staffs thereof above. 8. And they drew out the staffs that the ends of the staffs were seen out in the holy
33:19 place before the oracle and they were not seen without and there they are unto this day 9 there was nothing in the
33:31 ark save the 2 tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb. When the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the landShow more
