In this episode of Stakscast, Erick Stakelbeck sits down with Danny Danon, Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, for a candid discussion at the Republican Jewish Coalition Summit in Las Vegas.

Ambassador Danon pulls back the curtain on the rising wave of antisemitism—from the streets of Europe to the halls of the U.N.—and exposes how the world’s most anti-Israel institution continues to spread lies and double standards against the Jewish state.

They also discuss the ongoing threat from Hamas and Iran, the moral hypocrisy of Western nations recognizing a Palestinian state, and how Israel stands as the first line of defense for Judeo-Christian civilization.

Ambassador Danon then breaks down the “Trump effect”—how President Trump’s bold, faith-driven leadership reshaped the Middle East through the Abraham Accords, strengthened Israel’s position, and pushed back against Iran’s aggression.

On this Stakscast, I sit down with Victor Marx—USMC veteran, high-risk missionary, and founder of All Things Possible Ministries—who just launched his 2026 campaign for Governor of Colorado. His story reads like a novel: molested and left in a commercial cooler at age 5…years of brutal abuse, rage, drugs, and PTSD…then a radical encounter with Jesus that set him free. Victor went on to rescue more than 45,000 women and children from trafficking and terror across Syria, Iraq, Cambodia, and beyond. Now he says Colorado is at a crossroads—and he’s running to put faith, family and freedom back at the center.

We cover: 

The turning point: from a closet standoff with a violent stepfather to surrendering his life to Christ

Forgiveness that heals: the face-to-face with his abuser—and what finally broke the chains

Why he’s running: parents over bureaucrats, courage over politics, people over special interests

If Colorado chooses Victor Marx, it won’t just be electing a governor—it’ll be choosing a leader forged in fire who knows how to fight for the vulnerable and lead with courage.
