The Stakscast with Erick Stakelbeck

The West is dying to be kind. Dr. Gad Saad joins Erick Stakelbeck to expose the dangerous ideology behind his explosive new book, Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind—and why America and the West are destroying themselves in the name of compassion.

From anti-Semitism and open borders to radical gender ideology, Islamist migration, socialism, and the collapse of common sense, Dr. Saad warns that the West is being infected by “parasitic ideas” that lead not to kindness—but to civilizational suicide.

 

As a Lebanese-born immigrant who fled chaos and found freedom in the West, Dr. Saad brings a powerful warning: America is not the default setting of history. 

 

Freedom is rare. Civilization is fragile. And if we don’t fight for it, we can lose it.

This is a clarion call for courage, truth, and moral sanity in an age of madness.

Britain is at a breaking point. After hundreds of thousands flooded the streets of London for the massive Unite the Kingdom march, Tommy Robinson joins Erick Stakelbeck to breakdown why the national awakening is underway—and why the fight for Britain’s future is now impossible to ignore.

The crisis of mass migration, the collapse of free speech, the rise of radical Islam, woke leftist governance, and the shocking grooming gang scandal that has devastated countless British families.

Tommy also warns that what is happening in the UK is not just a British problem—it is a warning to America and the entire West. This is a battle for faith, family, freedom, and the survival of Judeo-Christian civilization. Britain is waking up. But is it too late?

Is science finally catching up to Scripture?

David Rives joins Erick Stakelbeck to break down what’s really happening at the intersection of NASA, space exploration, and faith—and why astronauts returning from missions like Artemis II are boldly proclaiming what many in the scientific establishment have tried to suppress: the evidence for God is undeniable. 

From cutting-edge discoveries in paleontology, archaeology, and AI—this episode pulls back the curtain on a stunning reality:  The deeper we explore the universe… the clearer God’s design becomes.

David Rives tackles the toughest questions:

Does space exploration actually point to a Creator?

Is evolution beginning to collapse under scientific scrutiny?

What do dinosaurs and the fossil record REALLY say about the Bible?

Is AI accelerating discovery—or opening dangerous doors?

Are scientists replacing God with aliens and false narratives?

Plus, a look inside the groundbreaking Wonder Center & Science Museum, where faith and science collide in a powerful way for the next generation.

This is more than a debate—it’s a battle for truth, identity, and purpose in a culture that’s desperate for answers.

The Strait of Hormuz is on the brink—and the world is watching.

President Trump declares TOTAL CONTROL over the most critical oil chokepoint on Earth. A U.S. naval blockade is tightening. Iran is threatening chaos at sea. And behind the scenes, a high-stakes power struggle is unfolding inside the regime.

So, who really has the leverage?

On this eye opening episode of the Stakscast, former IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus joins Erick Stakelbeck to break it all down—from the battlefield to the global chessboard.

Is Iran bluffing… or collapsing?

Can the U.S. and Israel reopen the Strait of Hormuz at will?

Who is REALLY calling the shots in Tehran—the regime or the IRGC?

And what happens if Iran refuses to back down?

Conricus delivers a sobering reality check: Iran is hemorrhaging hundreds of millions per day, its military capabilities are crippled, and the clock is ticking toward irreversible damage to its oil infrastructure.

Meanwhile, the U.S.-Israel alliance is operating at historic levels—rewriting the rules of modern warfare and reshaping the Middle East in real time.
