“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”
1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 # (Ongoing call…24 hours a day!)
We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!
“Through You we push down our foes;
through Your Name we tread down those who rise up against us.”
Psalm 44:5
We sing: VICTORY SONG (Through our God)
Through our God, we shall do valiantly, for it is He Who shall tread down the enemy.
We’ll sing and shout the victory: Christ is King!
For God has won the victory and set His people free.
His Word has slain the enemy, the earth shall stand and see that
Through our God, we shall do valiantly, for it is He Who shall tread down the enemy.
We’ll sing and shout the victory: Christ is King!
For God has won the victory and set His people free.
His Word has slain the enemy, the earth shall stand and see that
Through our God, we shall do valiantly, for it is He Who shall tread down the enemy.
We’ll sing and shout the victory: Christ is King! Christ is King! Christ is King!
~~~
For us to receive and put on the Ephesians 6 “full armor of God” as we begin each hour,
that we might be protected as we continue to “stand in the gap” for our beloved country!
Pray.
The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly
for the safety and security of our President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for his protection and ask that he be led by the Holy Spirit
so that he will discern truth and act for the good of the nation.
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their marriage and family, and cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
Pray.
For those leaders God has anointed and appointed, to be elected and work together,
cleaning up corruption and restoring election integrity,
so righteousness will prevail in every race in 2026.
Bring the SCOTUS Justices into alignment with God’s purposes in making their decisions!
Protect all the members of the Trump Administration,
especially the Cabinet, military, law enforcement agencies, such as ICE, FBI, and CBP.
Pray.
For God’s blessing and intervention in the lives of Joe Hoft, Tina Peters,
and WH Chief of Staff Susie Wiles,
as they each need miraculous resolutions to the issues threatening and attacking them!
Pray.
We will now spend the next 10 minutes praying for President Trump,
focusing our prayers against any assassination attempts or demonic attacks against him.
Let him remain in good health, so he can serve his entire 4-year term as our 47th US President!”
Pray.

WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ENGAGING IN A WARFARE OF LOVE, PRAYING FOR THE SALVATION OF OUR NATION
AND THE RESTORATION OF OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES – PART 456
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
Galatians 6:9
Life, Liberty & Levin’s host, Mark Levin, sat down with Victor Davis Hanson for a clear-eyed analysis regarding Iran. As the sustained economic pressure cooker of the US naval blockade is tightening daily at a rapid rate, the conversation turns to a critical intersection: if a deal is to be struck, it must not be done prematurely. Given just a bit more time under sustained economic pressure from the blockade, Iran’s economy will reach the breaking point within a week or so, triggering internal implosion, infighting between the IRGC, the Basij, the political government, and theocracy, and ultimately regime collapse from within. Ironically, the fastest path to ending the Iranian regime is to not close a deal too early but to hold the line just a little bit longer, maintaining economic pressure on the neck of the regime until it collapses in on itself. Read and pray.
MARK LEVIN: We have a man whom I call “America’s Wise Man”… Victor Davis Hanson, my dear friend. Victor, I think we sure have the upper hand with Iran here. The President has played this and done brilliant things that nobody else would do, or could do, militarily, economically, and geopolitically. In terms of the Strait of Hormuz, I think so many people are impatient. Certainly, Democrats are trying to sabotage this whole thing, the media is trying to sabotage this whole thing, and I think some Republicans and others are impatient. This hasn’t gone on that long, and we have the ability to really not just defeat the Iranian regime but collapse it completely so the Persian people are liberated. So what do you think?
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Well, we have inflicted such a great deal of damage, and I think some of the estimates on the higher end are accurate, about half a trillion dollars. We’re at a crossroads. If we were to negotiate an end, they would be pretty inert for 10 years, but not after that. There would be no guarantee. We should assume they’re going to cheat (but they wouldn’t have the ability to make due on that cheating for a long time). But it wouldn’t solve the existential problem, which is the regime. And we are right at the cusp of either weakening it so much that they have internal discord, so the Revolutionary Guard fights with the army, fights with the theocracy. They each don’t trust each other for being too soft…and they’re worried that if there’s a revolution, they’re going to be tried like at Nuremberg. They’re in disarray, and with a little bit more time, I think they could be permanently weakened. Pray.
LEVIN: Wow, those are great points. My concern is not with the President, but with others who are out there as well. You can have a peace deal, you can have a cessation of hostilities, and you could lose this whole thing. Because of President Trump, we’re on the precipice of changing the entire Middle East, which also will have an effect on Communist China, on Russia, on all those other actors…which will have a change in the economic dynamic for the entire world with respect to oil. We just need to have a little more patience. I mean, this thing’s gone on, what, 6, 7 weeks? 3, 4, 5 more weeks, and what may occur here is something that is just astoundingly incredible…as well as the liberation of the Iranian people, which I think is something we need to keep in mind. All this impatience, all this demand from people: ”Mr. President, you got to do this”; from the Republicans, “You got to find an off-ramp”; the Democrats, “It’s an illegal war”; the media, “Oh, can’t we do anything right?” I feel like that needs to be ignored, and we need to take the time necessary to do what has to be done, and it won’t take that long. Pray.
HANSON: I tend to agree with you because the weakening of the Iranian regime is now occurring not at an arithmetic steady rate, but a geometric rate. In other words, each day it gets many factors worse than the day before because now we’re squeezing them economically, which we weren’t able to do until we had nullified and neutered their defenses. We had a plan. Everybody faulted President Trump for “not having a plan”, but it was to take out, along with the Israelis, their ability to make war and then give them an opportunity for negotiations to show that we were not too punitive. And then, to shut down their economic viability. (We’re doing the third phase now. And we don’t want to stumble right before the finish line if we just need a week). The midterms are coming up; the Republicans are worried about losing the House and Senate; the Democrats are trying to say that because we’re negotiating, all we’re doing is continuing the Obama deal, which is absurd. There are all these centrifugal forces, but I think that in just another week or 10 days, if we could keep this economic pressure on, something’s going to crack. Pray.
LEVIN: Even if it takes 2, 3, 3½ weeks, the November election is still far enough away. The economy is going to jump into gear. It’s just a matter of time. I think the disaster that could come is if we’re premature. Then we have a whole bunch of problems after this war effort, after much of the military is removed…then what? So if we look ahead, and I’m not talking about a decade, I’m not talking about a year, just even 6 months ahead, the goal is to make sure that all these gains are secured that we’ve had…at great financial expense and our fantastic military and even political expense. The President has been courageous, strong, a statesman, a leader in everything he’s done here. Just stay the course for a little bit longer!
HANSON: Yeah, the heavy lifting’s been done. The political challenge and dangers have been met, and they’re neutered militarily, but we haven’t been able to inflict, as we are now, $400 million of damage. They don’t have very much storage in their oil tanks, and their oil wells are about ready to shut down. If they shut down, people argue they won’t be viable to restart. So we’re right on the cusp of getting them in a position where they’re going to have no alternative at all but regime collapse, because they’re going to be out of fuel, electricity, and food. At that point, the people will have no choice but to become more active, and there’ll be people in that regime who don’t want to go to a Nuremberg trial, and they’ll start cutting deals and turning on each other. That’s pretty near if we can just keep up the economic pressure. We couldn’t do that at the beginning, because they had this vast military infrastructure, but after all that hard work to get to where we are, it’s gone. Now that we’ve shown we’re willing to negotiate…that we’re not too revengeful… it seems to me that just a little bit more time, and this economic pressure cooker that they’re in is going to explode. And then we’re going to be in a very enviable position. We’re almost there…so I don’t want to stumble right before the end. Pray.
LEVIN: And the fact that they’re desperate to negotiate tells us a lot. It’s either that or the hangman’s noose, so they’re the ones who are looking for an off-ramp. We ought to shut those ramps down, keep doing what we’re doing, and then it’s finally over…all the work that’s been put into this…all the military successes that have been put into this.
HANSON: I think also the attitude of the Gulf sheikdoms, at least their private attitude, is much different than their public attitude. They would want Israel to finish off that Shia threat, which is a threat to them as well. The Lebanese government wants it, and once you get rid of Iran there, Hezbollah will die on the vine. A final thought: mark my words, Mark! If we don’t squeeze them to the extent where they’re in an existential crisis, the Iranians, 6 weeks from now, will say that they won the war. They have no cards to play, and we shouldn’t assume they have any. Pray.
We pray:
Grant President Trump (and any of our key participants) divine wisdom and strategic patience to sustain economic pressure against the Iranian regime. May they resist premature deals, political impatience, media pressure, and partisan sabotage, allowing the blockade to reach its full effect without stumbling before the finish line. Pray.
Accelerate internal divisions within the regime between the IRGC, Basij, political leaders, and the theocracy. Let economic implosion collapse the regime from within, resulting in the liberation of the Persian people. Pray.
That the people of our nation will stand alongside President Trump, and remain engaged in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA until VICTORY is won! Pray.
Protect, strengthen, and cover our 24/7 family in the Blood of Jesus. Bring in mature Christian men and women, and call the younger generation to this assignment with us, as we pray for our President and our beloved nation! Prepare us for our NEXT STEPS in this Battle to Save America! Pray.
