  • Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:00:18.577 --> 00:00:20.579
  • I'm allen jackson.
  • 00:00:20.579 --> 00:00:22.080
  • President trump is clearly the master negotiator.
  • 00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:25.484
  • Art of the deal sold 1.1 million copies.
  • 00:00:25.484 --> 00:00:29.121
  • But the one negotiation
  • 00:00:29.121 --> 00:00:30.622
  • That is yet to conclude is the one with vladimir putin.
  • 00:00:30.622 --> 00:00:33.859
  • They met in alaska to try to set the table
  • 00:00:33.859 --> 00:00:36.161
  • For an end to the war in ukraine.
  • 00:00:36.161 --> 00:00:37.929
  • But putin has not delivered.
  • 00:00:37.929 --> 00:00:40.132
  • So president trump has decided that since the russian leader
  • 00:00:40.132 --> 00:00:43.101
  • Is not a man of his word, he's shifting gears.
  • 00:00:43.101 --> 00:00:46.138
  • With that,
  • 00:00:46.438 --> 00:00:47.305
  • I want to bring in our foreign policy
  • 00:00:47.305 --> 00:00:48.807
  • And military specialist, former navy captain chuck nash.
  • 00:00:48.807 --> 00:00:52.844
  • Welcome back. chuck.
  • 00:00:52.844 --> 00:00:54.980
  • Nice to be back with you, pastor.
  • 00:00:54.980 --> 00:00:57.048
  • I'd like to begin by asking for your thoughts
  • 00:00:57.048 --> 00:00:59.718
  • On the president's new move,
  • 00:00:59.718 --> 00:01:01.353
  • Supporting ukraine and suggesting that
  • 00:01:01.353 --> 00:01:03.321
  • With the help of nato, ukraine could push putin's troops
  • 00:01:03.321 --> 00:01:06.758
  • All the way back into russia, leaving them no part of ukraine.
  • 00:01:06.758 --> 00:01:11.163
  • Is that really possible?
  • 00:01:11.163 --> 00:01:13.098
  • And i think that that would be a real stretch
  • 00:01:14.032 --> 00:01:16.234
  • To push them all the way back out of ukrainian territory.
  • 00:01:16.234 --> 00:01:19.871
  • I think what's going to have to happen is,
  • 00:01:19.871 --> 00:01:22.274
  • As we've talked about in previous visitations together,
  • 00:01:22.274 --> 00:01:26.478
  • That they're going to have to give up something,
  • 00:01:26.478 --> 00:01:29.314
  • The ukrainians are going to have to give up
  • 00:01:29.314 --> 00:01:31.082
  • Because putin, he's all in.
  • 00:01:31.082 --> 00:01:33.318
  • He's lost a war's worth of people.
  • 00:01:33.318 --> 00:01:36.655
  • This is four years this has been going on now.
  • 00:01:36.655 --> 00:01:39.291
  • And the russians started with about 8 million,
  • 00:01:39.291 --> 00:01:42.694
  • Men in their 20s.
  • 00:01:42.694 --> 00:01:45.430
  • Probably half a million to to three quarters
  • 00:01:45.430 --> 00:01:48.200
  • Of a million deserted rather than going into the military.
  • 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:52.204
  • And then he drafted the rest of them.
  • 00:01:52.204 --> 00:01:55.473
  • So, they're running out of a generation.
  • 00:01:55.473 --> 00:01:58.810
  • They're just chewing them up.
  • 00:01:58.810 --> 00:02:00.412
  • So he's already.
  • 00:02:00.412 --> 00:02:01.613
  • He's all in. pastor, that's all i can tell you.
  • 00:02:01.613 --> 00:02:03.949
  • He's all in. he's got to be.
  • 00:02:03.949 --> 00:02:05.483
  • Because if he weakens, then his hardliners are going to.
  • 00:02:05.483 --> 00:02:09.187
  • They'll throw him out of power,
  • 00:02:09.187 --> 00:02:10.488
  • And he's not going to allow that to happen.
  • 00:02:10.488 --> 00:02:12.557
  • Well, some of the nato countries have expressed
  • 00:02:13.458 --> 00:02:15.560
  • Their displeasure with russia as well.
  • 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.896
  • Finland's prime minister has been very clear about it.
  • 00:02:17.896 --> 00:02:21.700
  • Of course, russia is threats.
  • 00:02:22.334 --> 00:02:24.436
  • We can see what they have done against ukraine.
  • 00:02:24.436 --> 00:02:27.472
  • And also in finland we have seen many,
  • 00:02:27.472 --> 00:02:31.009
  • Hybrids attacked.
  • 00:02:31.443 --> 00:02:32.877
  • We have
  • 00:02:32.877 --> 00:02:34.312
  • Seen sabotage in europe.
  • 00:02:34.312 --> 00:02:37.816
  • So we are not in the war,
  • 00:02:37.816 --> 00:02:40.986
  • But we are under attack.
  • 00:02:40.986 --> 00:02:44.723
  • Well, that's,
  • 00:02:45.090 --> 00:02:45.991
  • Do you think these nato
  • 00:02:45.991 --> 00:02:47.058
  • Countries are genuinely prepared to fight russian?
  • 00:02:47.058 --> 00:02:50.328
  • I think they finally are.
  • 00:02:50.895 --> 00:02:52.530
  • They've been addicted to russian energy,
  • 00:02:52.530 --> 00:02:55.834
  • Gas and oil, for so long.
  • 00:02:56.401 --> 00:02:58.903
  • And, president trump told them years ago,
  • 00:02:58.903 --> 00:03:01.640
  • If you don't break this,
  • 00:03:01.640 --> 00:03:04.042
  • You're going to be hooked.
  • 00:03:04.042 --> 00:03:05.610
  • And then the russians are going to control you.
  • 00:03:05.610 --> 00:03:08.046
  • Well,
  • 00:03:08.046 --> 00:03:09.447
  • Whether it's nord stream pipeline,
  • 00:03:09.447 --> 00:03:11.950
  • The other pipelines that have been shut down
  • 00:03:11.950 --> 00:03:15.020
  • There, finally, enough is enough.
  • 00:03:15.720 --> 00:03:17.689
  • Because if you think about it, what they're doing is by buying
  • 00:03:17.689 --> 00:03:20.959
  • Russian energy, they're fueling the russian side of the war,
  • 00:03:20.959 --> 00:03:26.831
  • At the same time trying to support ukraine with weapons.
  • 00:03:26.831 --> 00:03:30.268
  • It's it's a fool's errand.
  • 00:03:30.268 --> 00:03:31.770
  • So they have to knock that stuff off.
  • 00:03:31.770 --> 00:03:34.406
  • And, you know, with russian, oil,
  • 00:03:34.406 --> 00:03:37.876
  • There's another problem that's facing the russians right now.
  • 00:03:37.876 --> 00:03:41.780
  • And that is that the pipelines that used to carry oil
  • 00:03:41.780 --> 00:03:45.817
  • Across ukraine and belarus into europe,
  • 00:03:45.817 --> 00:03:50.422
  • Those have been shut down because of the war.
  • 00:03:50.422 --> 00:03:53.325
  • So what's left?
  • 00:03:53.325 --> 00:03:54.326
  • Well, the maritime ports.
  • 00:03:54.326 --> 00:03:56.061
  • Well, you've got the black sea and you've got the baltics
  • 00:03:56.061 --> 00:03:59.297
  • And the baltics.
  • 00:03:59.698 --> 00:04:00.732
  • Prime wars is lost, about 50% of its capacity.
  • 00:04:00.732 --> 00:04:05.270
  • The black sea ports, the same thing,
  • 00:04:06.037 --> 00:04:08.440
  • And the ability to refine
  • 00:04:08.440 --> 00:04:12.577
  • That oil and turn it into fuel has been knocked out
  • 00:04:12.577 --> 00:04:15.613
  • By about 20%, all because of ukrainian strikes.
  • 00:04:15.613 --> 00:04:18.817
  • So now what you have is oil tryi
  • 00:04:19.451 --> 00:04:24.656
  • And so they've been using the baltics
  • 00:04:25.390 --> 00:04:28.593
  • To run these ghost, this ghost fleet
  • 00:04:28.593 --> 00:04:31.930
  • Into the primary outlet maritime port for export of oil.
  • 00:04:31.930 --> 00:04:37.001
  • Well, the danes have had enough.
  • 00:04:37.635 --> 00:04:39.704
  • And what they're doing is
  • 00:04:39.704 --> 00:04:40.972
  • You can't blockade the russians because that's an act of war.
  • 00:04:40.972 --> 00:04:43.942
  • But to get through the straits, the danish straits,
  • 00:04:43.942 --> 00:04:47.779
  • You have to abide by danish maritime law.
  • 00:04:47.779 --> 00:04:51.816
  • And so, tell me about your insurance.
  • 00:04:51.816 --> 00:04:54.386
  • Who's insuring your. oh, you don't have insurance.
  • 00:04:54.386 --> 00:04:56.921
  • Let's, have the coast guard board
  • 00:04:56.921 --> 00:04:58.957
  • You and check for safety violations.
  • 00:04:58.957 --> 00:05:00.859
  • Oh. guess what?
  • 00:05:00.859 --> 00:05:02.394
  • You flunk that. you're out.
  • 00:05:02.394 --> 00:05:04.195
  • So now all of a sudden, that that fleet that used to be
  • 00:05:04.195 --> 00:05:07.999
  • Keeping russia alive by,
  • 00:05:07.999 --> 00:05:11.369
  • Smuggling oil out, that gets greatly diminished.
  • 00:05:11.369 --> 00:05:14.272
  • So you lose 20% of your refining capability,
  • 00:05:14.272 --> 00:05:17.375
  • You lose your ability
  • 00:05:17.375 --> 00:05:18.576
  • To take it from from russia and get it out.
  • 00:05:18.576 --> 00:05:21.746
  • And now back it all the way to the wellhead.
  • 00:05:21.746 --> 00:05:24.449
  • You're producing oil that goes in the pipeline.
  • 00:05:24.449 --> 00:05:27.352
  • Oh, no. the pipelines are shut down.
  • 00:05:27.352 --> 00:05:29.087
  • So they have to go into the pipelines
  • 00:05:29.087 --> 00:05:31.322
  • That are limited,
  • 00:05:31.322 --> 00:05:32.190
  • That goes through russian territory
  • 00:05:32.190 --> 00:05:34.159
  • And then up to morse to be exported.
  • 00:05:34.159 --> 00:05:36.661
  • Well guess what? winter is coming.
  • 00:05:36.661 --> 00:05:39.030
  • And that oil is going to get backed up
  • 00:05:39.030 --> 00:05:42.834
  • And backed up and backed up all the way to the wellhead.
  • 00:05:42.834 --> 00:05:45.203
  • Well, let's just put it in, tanks.
  • 00:05:45.203 --> 00:05:47.839
  • In big storage tanks. oh, the russians don't do that.
  • 00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.775
  • They don't have tanks
  • 00:05:50.775 --> 00:05:51.976
  • Like we see in the united states,
  • 00:05:51.976 --> 00:05:53.745
  • Where you can take that excess capacity.
  • 00:05:53.745 --> 00:05:55.947
  • So now it's all stuck in the pipeline, and winter's coming.
  • 00:05:55.947 --> 00:05:59.717
  • And when winter comes in siberia, it gets very cold.
  • 00:05:59.717 --> 00:06:03.221
  • And if, though if that crude freezes in those pipelines,
  • 00:06:03.221 --> 00:06:07.759
  • It will it'll be disastrous.
  • 00:06:08.359 --> 00:06:10.929
  • Absolutely disastrous.
  • 00:06:10.929 --> 00:06:12.063
  • And you're going to have to re drill all those wells.
  • 00:06:12.063 --> 00:06:14.899
  • You can't just hit them up and start them again.
  • 00:06:14.899 --> 00:06:17.235
  • You have to re drilling.
  • 00:06:17.235 --> 00:06:18.236
  • Where do you get the drilling equipment.
  • 00:06:18.236 --> 00:06:19.771
  • Where do you get the expertise?
  • 00:06:19.771 --> 00:06:22.340
  • It's all been bought and paid for with foreign workers.
  • 00:06:22.340 --> 00:06:25.743
  • And they're not coming back.
  • 00:06:25.743 --> 00:06:27.579
  • So the russian economy now,
  • 00:06:27.579 --> 00:06:30.148
  • They just changed their tax
  • 00:06:30.148 --> 00:06:31.449
  • Policy to tax their people more to pay for this war.
  • 00:06:31.449 --> 00:06:34.552
  • They're losing their ability to export.
  • 00:06:34.552 --> 00:06:36.621
  • And if they lose those wells and now they can't
  • 00:06:36.621 --> 00:06:40.425
  • Even be a commodity,
  • 00:06:40.425 --> 00:06:43.461
  • Country anymore.
  • 00:06:43.461 --> 00:06:44.796
  • It could be the absolute implosion.
  • 00:06:44.796 --> 00:06:47.832
  • Which brings us to a point of
  • 00:06:47.832 --> 00:06:49.767
  • What does
  • 00:06:49.767 --> 00:06:50.902
  • Vladimir putin do then, when he's backed into a corner,
  • 00:06:50.902 --> 00:06:54.105
  • When everything is falling apart
  • 00:06:54.105 --> 00:06:56.207
  • And the ceiling's caving in on him, what does he do?
  • 00:06:56.207 --> 00:06:59.344
  • Does he look to try to end this thing
  • 00:06:59.344 --> 00:07:02.947
  • To save his country, or does he do something rash?
  • 00:07:02.947 --> 00:07:07.819
  • That's what we don't know.
  • 00:07:07.819 --> 00:07:09.821
  • Do you think that if russia was allowed to keep some portion
  • 00:07:10.989 --> 00:07:14.092
  • Of ukraine, these nato countries would be the next target?
  • 00:07:14.092 --> 00:07:18.897
  • Oh, that's a good question.
  • 00:07:19.497 --> 00:07:21.533
  • I don't think that putin
  • 00:07:21.533 --> 00:07:23.835
  • Would dare to go against nato because he's lost so much
  • 00:07:23.835 --> 00:07:28.706
  • That this is probably the last war that russia
  • 00:07:28.706 --> 00:07:31.976
  • Can fight, because just looking at the demographics, pastor,
  • 00:07:31.976 --> 00:07:36.414
  • They've wiped out a large portion of the healthy
  • 00:07:36.414 --> 00:07:39.684
  • Fighting age men in in russia and certainly in ukraine.
  • 00:07:39.684 --> 00:07:45.957
  • And the west
  • 00:07:46.291 --> 00:07:47.959
  • Is united in its stand against the russians.
  • 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.663
  • So this is this is the last hurrah.
  • 00:07:51.663 --> 00:07:55.166
  • And i've heard,
  • 00:07:55.166 --> 00:07:56.901
  • People say that
  • 00:07:56.901 --> 00:07:58.469
  • The reason why they're fighting this war
  • 00:07:58.469 --> 00:08:00.204
  • Is because they realize
  • 00:08:00.204 --> 00:08:01.306
  • The demographics are working against them.
  • 00:08:01.306 --> 00:08:03.441
  • And if they don't plug up the, easy access routes into russia
  • 00:08:03.441 --> 00:08:08.713
  • From europe that they remained vulnerable,
  • 00:08:08.713 --> 00:08:12.183
  • To, invasion from europe, which
  • 00:08:12.817 --> 00:08:15.920
  • I think that's foolish.
  • 00:08:16.421 --> 00:08:18.856
  • They're grinding up, young men for nothing, and they stand
  • 00:08:18.856 --> 00:08:22.827
  • To lose their entire country because of it.
  • 00:08:22.827 --> 00:08:25.930
  • Well, the war is going on for a long time now,
  • 00:08:26.898 --> 00:08:29.534
  • But an escalation is likely to create some fears
  • 00:08:29.534 --> 00:08:32.170
  • Of even wider battle,
  • 00:08:32.170 --> 00:08:33.905
  • Particularly if nato is brought in
  • 00:08:33.905 --> 00:08:35.540
  • And then russia with iran, china, north korea behind it.
  • 00:08:35.540 --> 00:08:39.010
  • Is this heading towards a world war?
  • 00:08:39.010 --> 00:08:42.547
  • It could, it very well could.
  • 00:08:42.547 --> 00:08:45.016
  • And i think it would happen.
  • 00:08:45.016 --> 00:08:48.419
  • As one economist said,
  • 00:08:48.886 --> 00:08:50.121
  • How do you go bankrupt gradually and then all at once?
  • 00:08:50.121 --> 00:08:53.157
  • That's how that's how a war could start.
  • 00:08:54.025 --> 00:08:56.361
  • A world war could start gradually on the, on the edges
  • 00:08:56.361 --> 00:09:01.666
  • In ukraine and then expanding through some accidental,
  • 00:09:01.666 --> 00:09:06.871
  • Or misinterpretation.
  • 00:09:07.372 --> 00:09:10.174
  • Who knows?
  • 00:09:10.174 --> 00:09:11.275
  • It could happen any time you've got armed conflict.
  • 00:09:11.275 --> 00:09:14.445
  • You have the potential for escalation,
  • 00:09:14.445 --> 00:09:16.280
  • And that's why it needs to get stopped.
  • 00:09:16.280 --> 00:09:18.416
  • And, that's why president trump,
  • 00:09:18.416 --> 00:09:21.119
  • Even during the campaign,
  • 00:09:21.119 --> 00:09:22.820
  • Was talking about getting this thing stopped
  • 00:09:22.820 --> 00:09:25.156
  • And stop the killing. stop the killing.
  • 00:09:25.156 --> 00:09:26.791
  • And he's right. that's what we need to do.
  • 00:09:26.791 --> 00:09:28.826
  • But we need to take a short break right now.
  • 00:09:29.727 --> 00:09:32.163
  • Consider using this time to send us an email at aj now.com.
  • 00:09:32.163 --> 00:09:35.967
  • There's an easy to use link there.
  • 00:09:35.967 --> 00:09:38.002
  • We enjoy hearing from you.
  • 00:09:38.002 --> 00:09:39.504
  • We'll be right back.
  • 00:09:39.504 --> 00:09:46.004
  • We'll be right back.
  • 00:09:46.004 --> 00:09:50.379
  • We're back now with captain chuck nash.
  • 00:09:51.180 --> 00:09:53.850
  • I'd like to move to israel and what's left of hamas.
  • 00:09:53.850 --> 00:09:57.720
  • President trump and israeli prime minister benjamin
  • 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.423
  • Netanyahu met and agreed on terms
  • 00:10:00.423 --> 00:10:02.692
  • To try to end the war with hamas.
  • 00:10:02.692 --> 00:10:04.761
  • The people of israel lived through a massacre.
  • 00:10:04.761 --> 00:10:07.563
  • 48 israelis are still being held.
  • 00:10:07.563 --> 00:10:09.899
  • Only 20 of whom are still believed to be alive.
  • 00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:12.735
  • I'm sensing that the prime minister
  • 00:10:12.735 --> 00:10:14.303
  • Wants to do whatever he can to get the hostages home
  • 00:10:14.303 --> 00:10:16.639
  • Before another october 7th passes.
  • 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.142
  • My question is, can they get hamas to agree?
  • 00:10:19.142 --> 00:10:24.714
  • Well, i think the
  • 00:10:25.148 --> 00:10:26.015
  • President has put a lot of pressure,
  • 00:10:26.015 --> 00:10:29.252
  • On world leaders.
  • 00:10:29.685 --> 00:10:31.521
  • And hamas certainly has to understand
  • 00:10:31.521 --> 00:10:35.324
  • That it's not just the united states and israel
  • 00:10:35.324 --> 00:10:39.262
  • That are working against them.
  • 00:10:39.262 --> 00:10:40.797
  • Because if you look at the arab nations, muslim nations
  • 00:10:40.797 --> 00:10:44.600
  • That have agreed to this and are supporting this,
  • 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:48.171
  • They're losing support throughout the arab world.
  • 00:10:48.171 --> 00:10:51.407
  • And that right there, as well as being decimated,
  • 00:10:51.407 --> 00:10:56.579
  • Their leadership decimated because of israeli actions
  • 00:10:56.579 --> 00:11:00.316
  • Both outside of the state of israel. and,
  • 00:11:00.316 --> 00:11:06.022
  • Gaza,
  • 00:11:06.255 --> 00:11:07.323
  • As well as inside the gaza strip.
  • 00:11:07.323 --> 00:11:10.393
  • They've been decimated.
  • 00:11:10.893 --> 00:11:12.461
  • One leader, hamas leader has said that,
  • 00:11:12.461 --> 00:11:16.899
  • They lost control of some areas,
  • 00:11:16.899 --> 00:11:19.235
  • And now there are armed clans that are taking up
  • 00:11:19.235 --> 00:11:22.705
  • Weapons against hamas inside the gaza strip.
  • 00:11:22.705 --> 00:11:26.542
  • So there is pressure on them across the board.
  • 00:11:26.542 --> 00:11:30.112
  • They better do more than just,
  • 00:11:30.112 --> 00:11:32.315
  • Take a look at, the 20 point plan.
  • 00:11:32.315 --> 00:11:34.717
  • They better sign up to it
  • 00:11:34.717 --> 00:11:35.885
  • Because it's either that or total annihilation.
  • 00:11:35.885 --> 00:11:39.589
  • And the president has said on record publicly
  • 00:11:39.589 --> 00:11:43.459
  • That if they don't take this up,
  • 00:11:43.459 --> 00:11:45.428
  • That they will back the israel plan.
  • 00:11:45.428 --> 00:11:48.130
  • And the israeli plan is total annihilation of hamas.
  • 00:11:48.130 --> 00:11:51.634
  • Well, let's turn to the trouble we're having here at home.
  • 00:11:52.768 --> 00:11:55.638
  • Criminals with repeated offenses
  • 00:11:55.638 --> 00:11:57.406
  • Have all too often been caught and released.
  • 00:11:57.406 --> 00:12:00.409
  • And as a result, they caused even more trouble.
  • 00:12:00.409 --> 00:12:03.446
  • Listen to the father of logan, frederico, the young girl
  • 00:12:03.446 --> 00:12:06.482
  • Who was murdered by a guy
  • 00:12:06.482 --> 00:12:07.783
  • Who clearly should not have been left to wander our streets.
  • 00:12:07.783 --> 00:12:11.120
  • He was committing 2.65 crimes a year
  • 00:12:11.921 --> 00:12:15.691
  • Since he was 15 years old.
  • 00:12:16.259 --> 00:12:18.294
  • But nobody could figure out that he couldn't be rehabilitated.
  • 00:12:18.294 --> 00:12:23.599
  • Well, you'd have to put him in prison
  • 00:12:23.599 --> 00:12:26.435
  • Because he could be rehabilitated.
  • 00:12:26.435 --> 00:12:28.938
  • Isn't that the idea of prison?
  • 00:12:28.938 --> 00:12:32.608
  • But no.
  • 00:12:32.842 --> 00:12:33.743
  • My daughter wanted to be a teacher.
  • 00:12:33.743 --> 00:12:35.544
  • She finally figured it out two weeks before
  • 00:12:35.544 --> 00:12:39.782
  • She was executed.
  • 00:12:40.216 --> 00:12:43.519
  • It's a complete failure of our justice system.
  • 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.455
  • President trump has been assigning
  • 00:12:46.455 --> 00:12:48.057
  • The national guard to help clean up
  • 00:12:48.057 --> 00:12:49.525
  • This mess. as you've seen,
  • 00:12:49.525 --> 00:12:50.927
  • A lot of democrats are still pushing back.
  • 00:12:50.927 --> 00:12:53.763
  • Is there any way to explain why so many liberals would
  • 00:12:53.763 --> 00:12:56.299
  • Rather have criminals on the street instead of in jail?
  • 00:12:56.299 --> 00:13:01.704
  • It it's trump derangement syndrome, pastor.
  • 00:13:02.638 --> 00:13:06.876
  • That what happens is people are so,
  • 00:13:06.876 --> 00:13:11.213
  • Irrationally,
  • 00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:14.383
  • Locked into a position where
  • 00:13:14.383 --> 00:13:16.919
  • Whatever president trump says, they want to do the opposite,
  • 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:21.190
  • Even if it if it inflict harm on themselves or the country.
  • 00:13:21.190 --> 00:13:25.561
  • There are those who are on the left
  • 00:13:25.561 --> 00:13:27.897
  • Who are hoping for a recession, if not worse,
  • 00:13:27.897 --> 00:13:32.001
  • Just to say, see, i told you so instead.
  • 00:13:32.001 --> 00:13:35.438
  • Stock market's booming.
  • 00:13:35.438 --> 00:13:37.039
  • The economy's doing well and it just it's killing them.
  • 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:40.476
  • So they have to look elsewhere.
  • 00:13:40.476 --> 00:13:42.345
  • And where else can they look.
  • 00:13:42.345 --> 00:13:44.280
  • If you look at even in the red states
  • 00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:46.248
  • There are blue cities.
  • 00:13:46.248 --> 00:13:47.283
  • And those blue cities are all having problems.
  • 00:13:47.283 --> 00:13:50.920
  • So the president is trying to help.
  • 00:13:50.920 --> 00:13:53.589
  • And what he's
  • 00:13:53.589 --> 00:13:54.690
  • Demonstrating to the to the united states population,
  • 00:13:54.690 --> 00:13:58.461
  • But also to the world, is that he will act.
  • 00:13:58.461 --> 00:14:02.465
  • He will use the power of the presidency
  • 00:14:02.465 --> 00:14:05.334
  • To to solve problems, be
  • 00:14:05.334 --> 00:14:08.704
  • In the united states or elsewhere.
  • 00:14:08.704 --> 00:14:12.041
  • What's he done?
  • 00:14:12.041 --> 00:14:13.209
  • Eight wars now start eight wars since he's taken office.
  • 00:14:13.209 --> 00:14:16.579
  • That's crazy.
  • 00:14:16.946 --> 00:14:18.514
  • I mean, the man is doing things.
  • 00:14:18.514 --> 00:14:20.349
  • He's making things happen.
  • 00:14:20.349 --> 00:14:22.618
  • And to his detractors, with the trump derangement syndrome,
  • 00:14:22.618 --> 00:14:25.721
  • It's killing them.
  • 00:14:26.155 --> 00:14:27.089
  • It's absolutely killing them to the point
  • 00:14:27.089 --> 00:14:29.191
  • That they're on the 20% side of all the 8020 issues
  • 00:14:29.191 --> 00:14:33.229
  • That the american people care about.
  • 00:14:33.229 --> 00:14:35.598
  • Well, the
  • 00:14:35.898 --> 00:14:37.099
  • Military is also involved in stopping foreign drug dealers.
  • 00:14:37.099 --> 00:14:40.069
  • Democrats are pushing back on this, too.
  • 00:14:40.069 --> 00:14:42.805
  • They may never change.
  • 00:14:42.805 --> 00:14:44.006
  • But do you think that some of the drug lords
  • 00:14:44.006 --> 00:14:45.808
  • Will stop trying to move drugs into our country
  • 00:14:45.808 --> 00:14:47.777
  • When they see their drug couriers being taken out at sea?
  • 00:14:47.777 --> 00:14:52.882
  • I think they're going
  • 00:14:53.382 --> 00:14:54.583
  • To keep selling their product as long as there's demand.
  • 00:14:54.583 --> 00:14:57.219
  • They're going to try to to try to work supply.
  • 00:14:57.219 --> 00:14:59.922
  • They're going to work the supply side for the demand.
  • 00:14:59.922 --> 00:15:02.091
  • We have to.
  • 00:15:02.091 --> 00:15:03.159
  • We have to look inside our country, too and find out,
  • 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.263
  • Some programs that are work and start talking to kids early
  • 00:15:07.263 --> 00:15:10.966
  • Because what they're doing, these these drug lords.
  • 00:15:10.966 --> 00:15:14.837
  • Yeah.
  • 00:15:15.071 --> 00:15:16.272
  • You don't, make a good market by killing your customers.
  • 00:15:16.272 --> 00:15:19.775
  • But that's not all that's happening here.
  • 00:15:19.775 --> 00:15:21.911
  • There's a total war going on.
  • 00:15:21.911 --> 00:15:23.379
  • The chinese are running it right under our noses.
  • 00:15:23.379 --> 00:15:26.382
  • They're not.
  • 00:15:26.382 --> 00:15:27.349
  • People are not overdosing on these drugs.
  • 00:15:27.349 --> 00:15:31.120
  • They're being poisoned
  • 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:32.455
  • Because these drugs are being laced with fentanyl.
  • 00:15:32.455 --> 00:15:35.958
  • That's an absolute poisoning.
  • 00:15:35.958 --> 00:15:38.094
  • We lost, i think, 54,000,
  • 00:15:38.094 --> 00:15:41.764
  • 54,000 killed in vietnam.
  • 00:15:42.331 --> 00:15:45.034
  • Somewhere in that, in that range.
  • 00:15:45.034 --> 00:15:47.269
  • We're losing 100,000 of fentanyl every year.
  • 00:15:47.269 --> 00:15:50.239
  • 100,000 people.
  • 00:15:50.239 --> 00:15:51.640
  • So in the last three years, we've had over
  • 00:15:51.640 --> 00:15:54.243
  • 300,000 people die because of using fentanyl,
  • 00:15:54.243 --> 00:15:58.581
  • Not overdosing on drugs, being poisoned with fentanyl.
  • 00:15:58.581 --> 00:16:02.518
  • That's a deliberate act.
  • 00:16:02.518 --> 00:16:05.921
  • Well, chuck, i thank you for your insight today.
  • 00:16:05.921 --> 00:16:08.257
  • You always bring clarity.
  • 00:16:08.257 --> 00:16:10.292
  • We're grateful for your voice of truth.
  • 00:16:10.292 --> 00:16:13.496
  • My pleasure. pastor.
  • 00:16:13.963 --> 00:16:15.231
  • Thank you very much. you're too kind. well, i'll be right back.
  • 00:16:15.231 --> 00:16:17.900
  • With a dose of hope for all of us.
  • 00:16:17.900 --> 00:16:26.002
  • With a dose of hope for all of us.
  • 00:16:26.002 --> 00:16:30.510
  • You know,
  • 00:16:30.810 --> 00:16:31.211
  • It seems to me
  • 00:16:31.211 --> 00:16:32.011
  • That there are waves of deception
  • 00:16:32.011 --> 00:16:34.347
  • That are crashing over our lives in this season.
  • 00:16:34.347 --> 00:16:37.083
  • When you see what's taking place in society, it's confusing.
  • 00:16:37.083 --> 00:16:40.186
  • It's disorienting.
  • 00:16:40.186 --> 00:16:41.888
  • Well,
  • 00:16:41.888 --> 00:16:42.822
  • One of the characteristics of this present
  • 00:16:42.822 --> 00:16:43.823
  • Season is a dramatic increase in lawlessness.
  • 00:16:43.823 --> 00:16:47.093
  • It's as if we have been unchecked for so long that now
  • 00:16:47.093 --> 00:16:50.263
  • We're just unwilling to submit to the rule of law again.
  • 00:16:50.263 --> 00:16:53.733
  • We have district attorneys who resist enforcing
  • 00:16:53.733 --> 00:16:56.302
  • Existing policies that protect the safety of citizens.
  • 00:16:56.302 --> 00:17:00.273
  • They choose rather to release repeat
  • 00:17:00.273 --> 00:17:02.075
  • Violent offenders back into our streets.
  • 00:17:02.075 --> 00:17:05.245
  • We're resistant to immigration and customs enforcement.
  • 00:17:05.245 --> 00:17:08.648
  • Ice is a federal agency under the auspices
  • 00:17:08.648 --> 00:17:11.351
  • Of the department of homeland security.
  • 00:17:11.351 --> 00:17:13.753
  • They're tasked with maintaining our immigration laws
  • 00:17:13.753 --> 00:17:16.556
  • And helping to protect us from the things
  • 00:17:16.556 --> 00:17:18.391
  • That are smuggled illegally into our country, like fentanyl,
  • 00:17:18.391 --> 00:17:21.861
  • Which claims tens of thousands of lives on an annual basis.
  • 00:17:21.861 --> 00:17:25.231
  • And instead of being
  • 00:17:25.698 --> 00:17:26.933
  • Grateful for their help, our ice agents are being assaulted.
  • 00:17:26.933 --> 00:17:30.169
  • We saw recently in dallas,
  • 00:17:30.169 --> 00:17:31.537
  • They're even being shot at like it's hunting season.
  • 00:17:31.537 --> 00:17:34.874
  • It's unthinkable that we have federal laws
  • 00:17:34.874 --> 00:17:37.010
  • Being opposed by mayors in our major cities
  • 00:17:37.010 --> 00:17:39.412
  • And by governors in those states.
  • 00:17:39.412 --> 00:17:41.748
  • They choose to make citizens vulnerable rather than challenge
  • 00:17:41.748 --> 00:17:44.450
  • Political narratives which keep them in power.
  • 00:17:44.450 --> 00:17:47.553
  • Well, unfortunately, as christians,
  • 00:17:47.553 --> 00:17:49.289
  • Sometimes we share responsibility,
  • 00:17:49.289 --> 00:17:50.990
  • And while we find ourselves in this predicament,
  • 00:17:50.990 --> 00:17:53.192
  • There's a trend amongst people of faith,
  • 00:17:53.192 --> 00:17:54.961
  • And it's far too pervasive in my opinion.
  • 00:17:54.961 --> 00:17:57.430
  • We are desperately trying not to notice
  • 00:17:57.430 --> 00:18:00.867
  • If we say to ourselves, i hear no evil and i see no evil.
  • 00:18:00.867 --> 00:18:04.704
  • If ignoring the problem would work, we'd organized groups.
  • 00:18:04.704 --> 00:18:07.507
  • We'd get together and just discuss
  • 00:18:07.507 --> 00:18:08.975
  • Some biblical history,
  • 00:18:08.975 --> 00:18:10.376
  • Discuss the first century and 10th century b.c.
  • 00:18:10.376 --> 00:18:12.845
  • Culture, and do our very best
  • 00:18:12.845 --> 00:18:14.414
  • To never talk about anything that was relevant.
  • 00:18:14.414 --> 00:18:16.716
  • But ignoring evil will make it better.
  • 00:18:17.550 --> 00:18:19.619
  • We all have to become willing
  • 00:18:19.619 --> 00:18:20.887
  • To watch, listen, think, and act in ways appropriate for us.
  • 00:18:20.887 --> 00:18:24.824
  • God's moving in the earth.
  • 00:18:24.824 --> 00:18:26.526
  • Let's engage. let's choose to be a part of it.
  • 00:18:26.526 --> 00:18:28.995
  • If we all do that, there's reasons for hope.
  • 00:18:28.995 --> 00:18:32.332
  • We'll be right back with your emails.
  • 00:18:32.332 --> 00:18:39.006
  • We'll be right back with your emails.
  • 00:18:39.006 --> 00:18:43.700
  • Thank you for spending a few minutes of your day with us.
  • 00:18:44.835 --> 00:18:47.337
  • Just a reminder, if you ever miss a live
  • 00:18:47.337 --> 00:18:49.039
  • Broadcast, you could always go to aj.
  • 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:51.007
  • Now, dot com, there's a full archive there.
  • 00:18:51.007 --> 00:18:53.944
  • You can watch any show at your leisure.
  • 00:18:53.944 --> 00:18:55.579
  • They're easy to share with a friend.
  • 00:18:55.579 --> 00:18:57.981
  • Thank you for your emails.
  • 00:18:57.981 --> 00:18:59.116
  • They're always a highlight.
  • 00:18:59.116 --> 00:19:00.617
  • Sherry b from texas said thank you for all you do.
  • 00:19:00.617 --> 00:19:04.020
  • I listen to you both day and evening.
  • 00:19:04.020 --> 00:19:05.989
  • The let's pray thing has worked.
  • 00:19:05.989 --> 00:19:08.792
  • My other attempts at witnessing not so much.
  • 00:19:08.792 --> 00:19:11.428
  • Well, i'm glad to know the prayer works, i agree.
  • 00:19:11.428 --> 00:19:14.364
  • Where listening is not as hard as we think.
  • 00:19:14.364 --> 00:19:15.932
  • Really, what we want to do is just tell
  • 00:19:15.932 --> 00:19:17.300
  • What god's done in our lives.
  • 00:19:17.300 --> 00:19:19.136
  • We don't have to be theologians or biblical experts.
  • 00:19:19.136 --> 00:19:21.338
  • We've all got a god's story.
  • 00:19:21.338 --> 00:19:22.839
  • God's helped all of us.
  • 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:24.141
  • And if we all share those stories,
  • 00:19:24.141 --> 00:19:25.976
  • It opens the possibility in the lives of others as well.
  • 00:19:25.976 --> 00:19:29.513
  • May lee from south carolina said,
  • 00:19:30.247 --> 00:19:32.182
  • Thank you for having gordon chang back on the program.
  • 00:19:32.182 --> 00:19:35.185
  • He provides the most accurate
  • 00:19:35.185 --> 00:19:36.586
  • Analysis of china and its relationship to the us.
  • 00:19:36.586 --> 00:19:39.589
  • We need to pray for the chinese christians.
  • 00:19:39.589 --> 00:19:41.925
  • Thank you again, pastor, for having on gordon chang.
  • 00:19:41.925 --> 00:19:45.195
  • Well, i couldn't agree more.
  • 00:19:45.195 --> 00:19:46.196
  • We need to pray for the believers in china.
  • 00:19:46.196 --> 00:19:48.465
  • We need to pray for the persecuted
  • 00:19:48.465 --> 00:19:50.400
  • Christians around the earth.
  • 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:52.469
  • Now, we live in a nation where there's still
  • 00:19:52.469 --> 00:19:54.037
  • A great deal of protection,
  • 00:19:54.037 --> 00:19:55.539
  • But many of our brothers and sisters do not enjoy that.
  • 00:19:55.539 --> 00:19:58.575
  • They deserve our prayers.
  • 00:19:58.575 --> 00:20:01.611
  • And there were a couple of viewers on the youtube
  • 00:20:01.611 --> 00:20:03.613
  • Episode with kelly means with this comment.
  • 00:20:03.613 --> 00:20:06.917
  • We're grateful for this serious subject is making itself known.
  • 00:20:06.917 --> 00:20:10.987
  • People need to wake up on how the pharmaceutical companies
  • 00:20:10.987 --> 00:20:13.890
  • And doctors are treating the symptoms, not the cure.
  • 00:20:13.890 --> 00:20:18.728
  • Agreed.
  • 00:20:18.962 --> 00:20:19.396
  • Completely.
  • 00:20:19.396 --> 00:20:20.664
  • You know, i think bobby kennedy is changing the conversation.
  • 00:20:20.664 --> 00:20:25.202
  • If we all have the courage
  • 00:20:25.202 --> 00:20:26.203
  • To stand with him and what he's doing,
  • 00:20:26.203 --> 00:20:28.538
  • I think we're going to get
  • 00:20:28.538 --> 00:20:29.406
  • Healthier food and a healthier response
  • 00:20:29.406 --> 00:20:31.641
  • From the pharmaceutical companies.
  • 00:20:31.641 --> 00:20:33.810
  • We'll be the beneficiaries and so will our children
  • 00:20:33.810 --> 00:20:36.580
  • And our grandchildren.
  • 00:20:36.580 --> 00:20:37.948
  • It's worth paying attention and using our voices.
  • 00:20:37.948 --> 00:20:40.717
  • Thank you for your emails are always a highlight.
  • 00:20:40.717 --> 00:20:43.320
  • I'm allen jackson and you have a wonderful evening.
  • 00:20:43.320 --> 00:20:43.320
