- Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
- 00:00:17.573 --> 00:00:19.608
- I'm alan jackson.
- 00:00:19.608 --> 00:00:20.943
- We're going to begin tonight by exploring what
- 00:00:20.943 --> 00:00:22.811
- It's going to take to win
- 00:00:22.811 --> 00:00:23.779
- Control of the house and senate this fall.
- 00:00:23.779 --> 00:00:26.548
- Democrats have been talking like victory is already at hand.
- 00:00:26.548 --> 00:00:30.219
- But several recent moves have favored the republicans.
- 00:00:30.219 --> 00:00:33.255
- At this point, no party has a lock on victory.
- 00:00:33.255 --> 00:00:36.859
- Issue number one is the economy.
- 00:00:36.859 --> 00:00:39.161
- The big budget bill did a lot to give people
- 00:00:39.161 --> 00:00:41.530
- Some of their money back with lower taxes.
- 00:00:41.530 --> 00:00:43.932
- There's no tax on tips or overtime.
- 00:00:43.932 --> 00:00:46.135
- And now the
- 00:00:46.135 --> 00:00:47.369
- President has launched project freedom, helping to guide ships,
- 00:00:47.369 --> 00:00:50.439
- Hundreds of them around the world
- 00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:52.274
- In and out of the strait of hormuz.
- 00:00:52.274 --> 00:00:54.176
- Keeping the global supply chain safe.
- 00:00:54.176 --> 00:00:56.912
- Well, gas prices, they're high,
- 00:00:56.912 --> 00:00:58.514
- But the increased trade will help everyone except iran.
- 00:00:58.514 --> 00:01:01.917
- And that's the plan.
- 00:01:01.917 --> 00:01:03.685
- Issue number two illegal immigration in our
- 00:01:03.685 --> 00:01:06.054
- Personal safety.
- 00:01:06.054 --> 00:01:07.656
- Republicans passed the lincoln riley act.
- 00:01:07.656 --> 00:01:10.092
- Then, after a record 75 day shutdown by the democrats,
- 00:01:10.092 --> 00:01:13.662
- The department of homeland security has been funded again.
- 00:01:13.662 --> 00:01:16.698
- Now we live in dangerous times.
- 00:01:17.332 --> 00:01:19.067
- Yet another gunman got near the white house
- 00:01:19.067 --> 00:01:20.836
- Yesterday, the same day that a washington,
- 00:01:20.836 --> 00:01:23.238
- D.c., judge apologized to the fully armed
- 00:01:23.238 --> 00:01:26.642
- California teacher who stormed the white house
- 00:01:26.642 --> 00:01:28.744
- Correspondents dinner, saying he was sorry that the jail cell
- 00:01:28.744 --> 00:01:32.915
- They put him in was tantamount to solitary confinement.
- 00:01:32.915 --> 00:01:36.285
- His lawyers argued that the man
- 00:01:36.919 --> 00:01:38.387
- Who covered himself in weapons showed no signs of being a risk.
- 00:01:38.387 --> 00:01:42.624
- Well, i guess they hadn't seen this selfie from his hotel room
- 00:01:42.624 --> 00:01:45.727
- In november. still a long way off.
- 00:01:46.495 --> 00:01:47.996
- But if things continue the way they have been,
- 00:01:47.996 --> 00:01:50.399
- The american people will have a very clear choice
- 00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:53.068
- About who is working to make their lives better and safer,
- 00:01:53.068 --> 00:01:56.405
- And who will provide a better future for their families.
- 00:01:56.405 --> 00:01:59.441
- You know, i often say that god is moving in the earth
- 00:02:00.509 --> 00:02:03.345
- And people invariably will come up to me and ask,
- 00:02:03.345 --> 00:02:05.814
- How can you say that? i don't see god moving.
- 00:02:05.814 --> 00:02:08.417
- Well, i keep a running list of good news items,
- 00:02:08.417 --> 00:02:11.253
- And here are a few items that, as a nation,
- 00:02:11.253 --> 00:02:13.722
- I believe we should be grateful about.
- 00:02:13.722 --> 00:02:16.024
- Our borders are secure.
- 00:02:16.024 --> 00:02:17.826
- That is good news.
- 00:02:17.826 --> 00:02:19.561
- We haven't been able to say that
- 00:02:19.561 --> 00:02:20.862
- Consistently in more than a decade.
- 00:02:20.862 --> 00:02:23.165
- The previous administration
- 00:02:23.165 --> 00:02:24.499
- Merely said our border was secure,
- 00:02:24.499 --> 00:02:26.401
- And the legacy media happily passed along that narrative,
- 00:02:26.401 --> 00:02:29.404
- Which they knew to be false.
- 00:02:29.404 --> 00:02:31.306
- The media knew hundreds of thousands
- 00:02:31.306 --> 00:02:33.141
- Were crossing our border illegally every month.
- 00:02:33.141 --> 00:02:35.510
- Yet they told us
- 00:02:35.510 --> 00:02:36.578
- A porous, unsecure border was just our imagination.
- 00:02:36.578 --> 00:02:40.215
- But under our current administration,
- 00:02:40.215 --> 00:02:41.984
- Our border has been secured
- 00:02:41.984 --> 00:02:43.452
- And the invasion
- 00:02:43.452 --> 00:02:44.519
- Of illegal individuals into our country has ended.
- 00:02:44.519 --> 00:02:47.356
- Those aren't empty words.
- 00:02:47.356 --> 00:02:48.557
- We have measurable results to support that.
- 00:02:48.557 --> 00:02:51.560
- You know, for years,
- 00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:52.694
- Billions of our tax
- 00:02:52.694 --> 00:02:53.829
- Dollars were being spent fraudulently and being stolen.
- 00:02:53.829 --> 00:02:57.165
- Well, the good news is it's been exposed and slowed to a degree
- 00:02:57.165 --> 00:03:00.569
- That hasn't been stopped.
- 00:03:00.569 --> 00:03:01.837
- But at least we have a better
- 00:03:01.837 --> 00:03:03.071
- Handle of the stealing that's taking place,
- 00:03:03.071 --> 00:03:05.407
- And the administration is taking steps to address it.
- 00:03:05.407 --> 00:03:08.677
- Well, here's another good news item.
- 00:03:08.677 --> 00:03:10.379
- The mutilation of our children in pursuit of trans insanity.
- 00:03:10.379 --> 00:03:13.782
- That's been slowed as well.
- 00:03:13.782 --> 00:03:15.884
- You know, it's hard to fathom the evil
- 00:03:15.884 --> 00:03:18.086
- That was perpetrated against our children.
- 00:03:18.086 --> 00:03:20.722
- Under the biden administration, federal policy, it didn't just
- 00:03:20.722 --> 00:03:23.992
- Tolerate gender mutilation procedures for minors.
- 00:03:23.992 --> 00:03:26.828
- It actively expanded access to them.
- 00:03:26.828 --> 00:03:30.132
- In 2022, president biden signed an executive order
- 00:03:30.132 --> 00:03:33.368
- To increase access to gender mutilation procedures
- 00:03:33.368 --> 00:03:36.571
- For children and to develop ways to counter efforts by states
- 00:03:36.571 --> 00:03:40.442
- That were attempting to limit these horrific procedures.
- 00:03:40.442 --> 00:03:43.679
- During the first three years of the biden administration
- 00:03:43.679 --> 00:03:45.747
- Alone, more than 7000
- 00:03:45.747 --> 00:03:47.683
- Children were administered puberty blockers
- 00:03:47.683 --> 00:03:50.118
- And over 4000 children were subjected to sex modifications
- 00:03:50.118 --> 00:03:54.022
- Surgical interventions such as mastectomies.
- 00:03:54.022 --> 00:03:57.926
- Those interventions were marketed to children.
- 00:03:57.926 --> 00:04:01.496
- You have to think about that a moment.
- 00:04:01.496 --> 00:04:02.964
- Those are irreversible decisions
- 00:04:02.964 --> 00:04:04.700
- Being made in an age where you can't vote,
- 00:04:04.700 --> 00:04:07.102
- You're not allowed to drink alcohol.
- 00:04:07.102 --> 00:04:08.537
- You can't even sign a contract.
- 00:04:08.537 --> 00:04:10.706
- But somehow these children
- 00:04:10.706 --> 00:04:12.074
- Can make life altering medical choices.
- 00:04:12.074 --> 00:04:14.776
- And when states like texas, florida and tennessee stepped in
- 00:04:14.776 --> 00:04:17.546
- And said, let's slow this down, let's protect the kids.
- 00:04:17.546 --> 00:04:20.882
- The federal government under biden
- 00:04:20.882 --> 00:04:22.517
- Pushed back hard with lawsuits and bullying tactics.
- 00:04:22.517 --> 00:04:26.755
- Well, the good news is president trump has taken steps
- 00:04:26.755 --> 00:04:29.024
- To stop this abuse.
- 00:04:29.024 --> 00:04:30.559
- Trump moved to block federal dollars
- 00:04:30.559 --> 00:04:32.728
- From supporting gender mutilating procedures
- 00:04:32.728 --> 00:04:34.663
- For minors, targeting the funding pipelines behind it.
- 00:04:34.663 --> 00:04:38.667
- Hospitals receiving federal funds.
- 00:04:38.667 --> 00:04:40.535
- They now face new conditions tied to compliance.
- 00:04:40.535 --> 00:04:43.638
- Federal agencies were directed to stop promoting these barbaric
- 00:04:43.638 --> 00:04:46.908
- Procedures for minors.
- 00:04:46.908 --> 00:04:48.610
- Here's another good news item.
- 00:04:49.211 --> 00:04:50.445
- Iran, the global sponsor of terror
- 00:04:50.445 --> 00:04:52.314
- For more than 40 years, has been humbled.
- 00:04:52.314 --> 00:04:55.283
- The outcome is not fully accomplished,
- 00:04:55.283 --> 00:04:57.018
- But terror groups like hezbollah and hamas, proxy groups
- 00:04:57.018 --> 00:05:00.655
- That have been funded and armed by iran,
- 00:05:00.655 --> 00:05:02.791
- They have forfeited most of their influence.
- 00:05:02.791 --> 00:05:05.727
- Citizens of venezuela have experienced a breath of freedom.
- 00:05:05.727 --> 00:05:09.131
- There's much yet to be done,
- 00:05:09.131 --> 00:05:10.432
- But hundreds of pastors that were imprisoned
- 00:05:10.432 --> 00:05:12.667
- Have now been released.
- 00:05:12.667 --> 00:05:14.369
- God is moving in the earth, and we have to remember that
- 00:05:14.369 --> 00:05:17.806
- It's important because if you don't remember
- 00:05:17.806 --> 00:05:19.574
- Those expressions of the power, the grace and the mercy of god,
- 00:05:19.574 --> 00:05:22.744
- Then when you bump into a fresh challenge, you're ill prepared
- 00:05:22.744 --> 00:05:25.847
- To have the confidence to say, god can deliver me.
- 00:05:25.847 --> 00:05:28.884
- Well, my advice to you is to start
- 00:05:29.651 --> 00:05:31.186
- Keeping a good news list of your own.
- 00:05:31.186 --> 00:05:33.088
- You can start in your own
- 00:05:33.088 --> 00:05:34.156
- Personal arena and just work out from there.
- 00:05:34.156 --> 00:05:37.459
- Every time you acknowledge the goodness of
- 00:05:37.459 --> 00:05:39.428
- God in your life,
- 00:05:39.428 --> 00:05:40.729
- You recalibrate one notch more fully towards the lord.
- 00:05:40.729 --> 00:05:44.166
- And among all the chaos and confusion of a busy
- 00:05:44.166 --> 00:05:46.701
- News cycle, and with the media framing the mainstream narrative
- 00:05:46.701 --> 00:05:50.105
- On what we as viewers should focus on,
- 00:05:50.105 --> 00:05:52.607
- I think it's important that we take a step back
- 00:05:52.607 --> 00:05:54.776
- And appreciate the season we're in and the opportunities ahead.
- 00:05:54.776 --> 00:05:58.880
- Well, congress is not polling well.
- 00:05:59.681 --> 00:06:01.917
- There are individual members
- 00:06:01.917 --> 00:06:03.151
- Working very hard to improve this great country.
- 00:06:03.151 --> 00:06:06.154
- In a moment,
- 00:06:06.154 --> 00:06:07.289
- We'll visit with a member who is truly on your side.
- 00:06:07.289 --> 00:06:09.991
- Georgia republican buddy carter will be joining us
- 00:06:09.991 --> 00:06:13.195
- Right after this break.
- 00:06:13.195 --> 00:06:14.763
- I'll be right back.
- 00:06:14.763 --> 00:06:20.005
- I'll be right back.
- 00:06:20.005 --> 00:06:23.514
- So in any workplace, there are people who look busy
- 00:06:24.515 --> 00:06:27.585
- And there are others who really are busy.
- 00:06:27.585 --> 00:06:29.553
- You know, the look busy members of congress.
- 00:06:29.553 --> 00:06:31.622
- They show up on camera a lot, and the are busy members.
- 00:06:31.622 --> 00:06:34.825
- Well, they're the ones who have their names on the bills.
- 00:06:34.825 --> 00:06:37.695
- Well, congressman buddy carter,
- 00:06:37.695 --> 00:06:39.129
- You had a job in the real world before he went to congress.
- 00:06:39.129 --> 00:06:41.899
- He was a pharmacist
- 00:06:41.899 --> 00:06:43.167
- And he was so successful that he opened
- 00:06:43.167 --> 00:06:44.768
- Three of his own shops around georgia.
- 00:06:44.768 --> 00:06:47.404
- Welcome back to the program, congressman.
- 00:06:47.404 --> 00:06:50.074
- Well, thank you for having me.
- 00:06:50.674 --> 00:06:51.809
- Always a pleasure, alan.
- 00:06:51.809 --> 00:06:53.644
- You have a big advantage on many of the other members,
- 00:06:53.644 --> 00:06:55.880
- Given your real world experience,
- 00:06:55.880 --> 00:06:58.215
- When you got behind the budget and immigration bills,
- 00:06:58.215 --> 00:07:00.784
- It was clear that you were better connected
- 00:07:00.784 --> 00:07:02.820
- To what ordinary americans were looking for.
- 00:07:02.820 --> 00:07:05.422
- Even more so when all we hear from the democrats is
- 00:07:05.422 --> 00:07:08.058
- Stop trump.
- 00:07:08.058 --> 00:07:09.393
- How do you see the next few months playing out?
- 00:07:09.393 --> 00:07:12.963
- First of all, we've got some things
- 00:07:12.963 --> 00:07:14.298
- That we've got to do, such as funding dhs.
- 00:07:14.298 --> 00:07:17.434
- We did get partial funding of it,
- 00:07:17.434 --> 00:07:19.703
- But now we've got to finish with the ice funding and
- 00:07:19.703 --> 00:07:22.640
- And with cbp.
- 00:07:22.640 --> 00:07:23.974
- We'll do that
- 00:07:23.974 --> 00:07:25.042
- Through reconciliation, because as you point out,
- 00:07:25.042 --> 00:07:27.111
- The democrats aren't interested in helping.
- 00:07:27.111 --> 00:07:29.046
- They're not interested in doing anything productive.
- 00:07:29.046 --> 00:07:31.715
- All they want to do is to throw bombs.
- 00:07:31.715 --> 00:07:33.717
- And then what they're doing right now
- 00:07:33.717 --> 00:07:35.586
- With dhs is nothing more than an extension of the defund
- 00:07:35.586 --> 00:07:38.689
- The police that they
- 00:07:38.689 --> 00:07:39.924
- That movement that they started some years ago
- 00:07:39.924 --> 00:07:42.660
- And they don't want to fund ice.
- 00:07:42.660 --> 00:07:44.962
- Now of as i said earlier, we did get dhs partially funded,
- 00:07:44.962 --> 00:07:48.632
- But we got to finish the drill
- 00:07:48.632 --> 00:07:49.733
- And we'll do that through reconciliation.
- 00:07:49.733 --> 00:07:51.802
- That'll be very important.
- 00:07:51.802 --> 00:07:53.304
- We want to continue.
- 00:07:53.304 --> 00:07:54.171
- We got to get the appropriation process
- 00:07:54.171 --> 00:07:55.739
- Started for next fiscal year as well.
- 00:07:55.739 --> 00:07:58.108
- That's going to be important.
- 00:07:58.108 --> 00:07:59.777
- But, you know, with everything
- 00:07:59.777 --> 00:08:01.378
- That's going on
- 00:08:01.378 --> 00:08:02.413
- In the world right now, dhs, it's a top priority.
- 00:08:02.413 --> 00:08:05.516
- Well, there are new reasons for hope this week,
- 00:08:06.450 --> 00:08:08.686
- Given the supreme court decision on the voting rights act.
- 00:08:08.686 --> 00:08:11.855
- That decision alone might land republicans for extra seats.
- 00:08:11.855 --> 00:08:15.359
- Florida is also adding seats.
- 00:08:15.359 --> 00:08:17.061
- And now virginia state supreme court
- 00:08:17.061 --> 00:08:18.796
- Has ruled against their governor's
- 00:08:18.796 --> 00:08:20.464
- Attempt to write new boundaries to eliminate republicans.
- 00:08:20.464 --> 00:08:23.767
- Obama's stirred up about it all,
- 00:08:23.767 --> 00:08:25.302
- And the governor of texas had an answer for him.
- 00:08:25.302 --> 00:08:27.638
- Listen to his comments.
- 00:08:27.638 --> 00:08:29.506
- Two weeks ago, obama was applauding virginia
- 00:08:29.506 --> 00:08:33.577
- For redrawing their maps to eliminate republicans,
- 00:08:33.577 --> 00:08:36.180
- And yet he was in shock and very critical.
- 00:08:36.180 --> 00:08:38.882
- When louisiana
- 00:08:38.882 --> 00:08:40.017
- Is now going to draw its map to elect more republicans.
- 00:08:40.017 --> 00:08:43.253
- It's time for the democrats to stop being such hypocrites.
- 00:08:43.253 --> 00:08:46.857
- And finally have everybody across the country to stop
- 00:08:46.857 --> 00:08:49.860
- Using race as a reason to draw congressional lines.
- 00:08:49.860 --> 00:08:54.632
- It seems the governor has a good point, doesn't he?
- 00:08:54.632 --> 00:08:57.267
- Well, an excellent point.
- 00:08:57.835 --> 00:08:59.136
- And let me tell you, the supreme court got it right.
- 00:08:59.136 --> 00:09:02.106
- And they said that the intentional use of, of, of race
- 00:09:02.106 --> 00:09:07.077
- To discriminate against some redistricting is prohibited.
- 00:09:07.077 --> 00:09:12.149
- And that's exactly what the intent of,
- 00:09:12.149 --> 00:09:16.353
- Of the voting rights act was in the first place.
- 00:09:16.353 --> 00:09:19.556
- It had changed over the years because, you know,
- 00:09:19.556 --> 00:09:22.493
- People have changed.
- 00:09:22.493 --> 00:09:23.494
- I mean, you
- 00:09:23.494 --> 00:09:24.728
- Can't judge a person's politics by the color of their skin.
- 00:09:24.728 --> 00:09:27.731
- Doesn't matter what the color of their skin is.
- 00:09:27.731 --> 00:09:30.234
- Their politics may be different from what everyone once
- 00:09:30.234 --> 00:09:33.771
- Thought it was.
- 00:09:33.771 --> 00:09:35.005
- And certainly that's the case now
- 00:09:35.005 --> 00:09:36.840
- In the redistricting is taking place,
- 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:39.009
- Particularly in louisiana and tennessee and florida.
- 00:09:39.009 --> 00:09:42.246
- I applaud that.
- 00:09:42.246 --> 00:09:43.580
- I've called on our governor here in georgia to stop this.
- 00:09:43.580 --> 00:09:46.984
- The house races right now,
- 00:09:46.984 --> 00:09:48.686
- Unless redistrict here in the state of georgia,
- 00:09:48.686 --> 00:09:51.155
- We could pick up perhaps two or maybe even three seats in the
- 00:09:51.155 --> 00:09:55.159
- Legislature that would reflect the values of georgians more.
- 00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:59.029
- And we need to do that.
- 00:09:59.029 --> 00:10:00.431
- They don't need to be disenfranchized
- 00:10:00.431 --> 00:10:02.232
- For the next two years by districts that were drawn
- 00:10:02.232 --> 00:10:05.703
- With the intent, purpose of, of racial discrimination.
- 00:10:05.703 --> 00:10:10.908
- And that's what they were drawn for in the previous cycle.
- 00:10:10.908 --> 00:10:15.212
- We need to do it now.
- 00:10:15.212 --> 00:10:16.880
- This could make a big difference on the political scene
- 00:10:16.880 --> 00:10:19.416
- Nationally if we pick up 2 or 3 seats in georgia.
- 00:10:19.416 --> 00:10:22.720
- It could make the difference
- 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:23.921
- Between us being the majority in that house next session
- 00:10:23.921 --> 00:10:27.124
- Or in the minority.
- 00:10:27.124 --> 00:10:28.726
- Republicans still have an uphill climb,
- 00:10:29.593 --> 00:10:32.129
- But they're up against a party
- 00:10:32.129 --> 00:10:33.430
- That's running entirely on stop trump.
- 00:10:33.430 --> 00:10:36.500
- I can't imagine that
- 00:10:36.500 --> 00:10:37.701
- Many people in your state want higher taxes, more stealing
- 00:10:37.701 --> 00:10:40.604
- From the government, or for iran to have nuclear weapons.
- 00:10:40.604 --> 00:10:44.041
- What are you hearing?
- 00:10:44.041 --> 00:10:46.410
- Well, just just what you say.
- 00:10:46.410 --> 00:10:48.278
- You know, look,
- 00:10:48.278 --> 00:10:49.480
- They're pleased with the job that president trump is doing.
- 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:51.982
- He promised two things during the 2024 cycle
- 00:10:51.982 --> 00:10:54.551
- That make us more prosperous. and he make us safer.
- 00:10:54.551 --> 00:10:57.387
- He's made us safer by securing that border.
- 00:10:57.387 --> 00:10:59.823
- For four years, jon ossoff
- 00:10:59.823 --> 00:11:01.458
- And the democrats supported open borders
- 00:11:01.458 --> 00:11:03.594
- That resulted in 50 million
- 00:11:03.594 --> 00:11:05.362
- Illegal immigrants coming across that border.
- 00:11:05.362 --> 00:11:07.664
- We would be naive to think that some of them
- 00:11:07.664 --> 00:11:09.733
- Were criminal, illegal immigrants. they were.
- 00:11:09.733 --> 00:11:12.002
- And those are the ones that we're after right now.
- 00:11:12.002 --> 00:11:14.138
- Those are the ones that isis tried
- 00:11:14.138 --> 00:11:15.739
- To get out of this country first.
- 00:11:15.739 --> 00:11:17.641
- We'll deal with the others later,
- 00:11:17.641 --> 00:11:19.042
- But let's get rid of those criminal,
- 00:11:19.042 --> 00:11:20.778
- Illegal immigrants first.
- 00:11:20.778 --> 00:11:22.780
- He also promised to make us prosperous.
- 00:11:22.780 --> 00:11:24.748
- And he's done that through the working families
- 00:11:24.748 --> 00:11:26.483
- Tax cut act, the one big, beautiful bill
- 00:11:26.483 --> 00:11:28.952
- That no tax on chips, no tax on overtime,
- 00:11:28.952 --> 00:11:31.288
- No tax on social security, increased child care tax credit.
- 00:11:31.288 --> 00:11:34.658
- Same georgians over $5,000 a year.
- 00:11:34.658 --> 00:11:37.628
- This president
- 00:11:37.628 --> 00:11:38.462
- And this administration and republican
- 00:11:38.462 --> 00:11:40.430
- Majority are putting more money in your pocket.
- 00:11:40.430 --> 00:11:43.767
- And that's what americans need right now.
- 00:11:43.767 --> 00:11:46.069
- Well, the supreme court is sending mixed signals
- 00:11:47.037 --> 00:11:49.373
- About the abortion pill and whether it should be
- 00:11:49.373 --> 00:11:51.241
- Available by mail or only prescribed by doctors.
- 00:11:51.241 --> 00:11:54.344
- And we already know that a significant
- 00:11:54.344 --> 00:11:56.079
- Percentage of women are suffering severe side
- 00:11:56.079 --> 00:11:58.282
- Effects from it.
- 00:11:58.282 --> 00:11:59.283
- So as someone with experience at the pharmacy,
- 00:11:59.283 --> 00:12:02.019
- What would you like to see happen with these pills?
- 00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:05.155
- Well, i'm disappointed that the supreme court
- 00:12:05.155 --> 00:12:07.558
- Has reversed their decision
- 00:12:07.558 --> 00:12:08.759
- And allowed this to be available over the through the mail.
- 00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:13.130
- Any drug that can cause death should not be available
- 00:12:13.130 --> 00:12:15.866
- Through the mail.
- 00:12:15.866 --> 00:12:16.800
- This is something that needs counseling.
- 00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:18.735
- Patients need to be counsel when you're
- 00:12:18.735 --> 00:12:20.671
- Talking about this drug.
- 00:12:20.671 --> 00:12:21.872
- Yes. there are some indications that are safe for this drug.
- 00:12:21.872 --> 00:12:25.576
- But any drug that can cause death is this drug can
- 00:12:25.576 --> 00:12:28.979
- That should be going
- 00:12:29.446 --> 00:12:30.881
- Through a pharmacy and not through the mail.
- 00:12:30.881 --> 00:12:32.783
- So i'm i'm afraid the supreme court got this one wrong.
- 00:12:32.783 --> 00:12:35.519
- I hope they reverse their decision
- 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.354
- And get back to where you have to have a prescription
- 00:12:37.354 --> 00:12:40.090
- And pick it up from your local pharmacy.
- 00:12:40.090 --> 00:12:42.492
- Well, it was encouraging to see that the country's
- 00:12:43.493 --> 00:12:45.362
- Economic growth,
- 00:12:45.362 --> 00:12:46.530
- The gdp, was still at 2% in the latest government report
- 00:12:46.530 --> 00:12:49.766
- That included the first few weeks of the fight with iran.
- 00:12:49.766 --> 00:12:53.103
- The president says that even he's surprised at how
- 00:12:53.103 --> 00:12:55.739
- Strong the economy remains, even during the war with iran.
- 00:12:55.739 --> 00:12:58.742
- Is this still the number one issue for the midterms?
- 00:12:58.742 --> 00:13:02.613
- I think it is number one that in an immigration, of course.
- 00:13:02.613 --> 00:13:06.183
- But everybody, you know, the economy is always on
- 00:13:06.183 --> 00:13:09.553
- Everyone's minds.
- 00:13:09.553 --> 00:13:10.554
- And certainly it is. now look.
- 00:13:10.554 --> 00:13:13.023
- High gas prices, high gas prices are the work of the democrats.
- 00:13:13.023 --> 00:13:16.159
- Remember, of june 2022, when gas was five and $6 a gallon.
- 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:21.431
- Thank goodness donald trump came
- 00:13:21.431 --> 00:13:23.267
- And he unleashed american energy.
- 00:13:23.267 --> 00:13:25.168
- If he had not,
- 00:13:25.168 --> 00:13:26.270
- Then i can't imagine what gas prices would be now.
- 00:13:26.270 --> 00:13:29.139
- But he did that.
- 00:13:29.139 --> 00:13:30.307
- And yes, we've got higher gas prices have resolved
- 00:13:30.307 --> 00:13:33.176
- At the conflict in iran.
- 00:13:33.176 --> 00:13:34.478
- However, those prices are going to go down in this conflict
- 00:13:34.478 --> 00:13:38.181
- And iran will end.
- 00:13:38.181 --> 00:13:39.716
- It'll end as soon as we are comfortable, as soon as we
- 00:13:39.716 --> 00:13:42.853
- Are confident there are and will not have nuclear weapons.
- 00:13:42.853 --> 00:13:46.523
- Look, i'm a i'm blessed to be a father and a grandfather.
- 00:13:46.523 --> 00:13:49.826
- I do not want my children.
- 00:13:49.826 --> 00:13:51.395
- My grandchildren have to suffer under a leading state
- 00:13:51.395 --> 00:13:54.698
- Sponsor of terrorism, having a nuclear bomb.
- 00:13:54.698 --> 00:13:57.801
- I would submit to you
- 00:13:57.801 --> 00:13:59.069
- That this president is saving millions of lives in the future
- 00:13:59.069 --> 00:14:02.272
- By making sure that iran never has a nuclear weapon.
- 00:14:02.272 --> 00:14:06.410
- Amen.
- 00:14:06.643 --> 00:14:07.744
- Well, congressman carter,
- 00:14:07.744 --> 00:14:08.845
- We need to take a short break now.
- 00:14:08.845 --> 00:14:10.347
- Can you stand by for another segment?
- 00:14:10.347 --> 00:14:12.649
- Sure. we'll be right back.
- 00:14:12.649 --> 00:14:19.014
- Sure. we'll be right back.
- 00:14:19.014 --> 00:14:24.004
- We're back now with
- 00:14:24.471 --> 00:14:25.605
- Georgia republican congressman buddy carter.
- 00:14:25.605 --> 00:14:28.675
- The president has started project freedom.
- 00:14:28.675 --> 00:14:31.611
- It's a humanitarian effort to help get products in
- 00:14:31.611 --> 00:14:34.281
- And out of the strait of hormuz, except for iran.
- 00:14:34.281 --> 00:14:37.351
- According to the treasury secretary,
- 00:14:37.351 --> 00:14:38.885
- A lot of countries ask for this temporary help.
- 00:14:38.885 --> 00:14:41.321
- Listen to what he said.
- 00:14:41.321 --> 00:14:42.356
- I can tell you, two weeks ago was imf world bank
- 00:14:42.356 --> 00:14:45.859
- Week in washington, and i had numerous countries
- 00:14:45.859 --> 00:14:49.629
- Come up to me, some of the poorest,
- 00:14:49.629 --> 00:14:50.998
- Some of the most vulnerable,
- 00:14:50.998 --> 00:14:52.366
- And ask us to do this because it's not only energy
- 00:14:52.366 --> 00:14:55.602
- That's in there, it's fertilizer, it's food transport,
- 00:14:55.602 --> 00:14:59.339
- It's lpg for the more than
- 00:14:59.906 --> 00:15:02.142
- More than the billion plus people in india used to cook.
- 00:15:02.142 --> 00:15:05.545
- So we are saying
- 00:15:05.545 --> 00:15:07.280
- The iranians do not have control of the strait.
- 00:15:07.280 --> 00:15:10.484
- Well, basit also said that
- 00:15:11.051 --> 00:15:12.652
- Gas prices will drop back down to where they had been.
- 00:15:12.652 --> 00:15:15.889
- Once things are settled in iran, which will be a big help,
- 00:15:15.889 --> 00:15:18.892
- Especially as we get closer to summer.
- 00:15:18.892 --> 00:15:21.428
- Do you imagine that is our future?
- 00:15:21.428 --> 00:15:24.765
- Let me think. that is our future.
- 00:15:24.765 --> 00:15:26.099
- And again,
- 00:15:26.099 --> 00:15:27.300
- I cannot applaud the president enough for what he's doing.
- 00:15:27.300 --> 00:15:29.970
- And this regime that for 47 years has been the leading
- 00:15:29.970 --> 00:15:34.174
- Sponsor, state sponsor of terrorism in the world.
- 00:15:34.174 --> 00:15:37.644
- They have american blood on their hands.
- 00:15:37.644 --> 00:15:39.446
- Let's not forget the uss cole.
- 00:15:39.446 --> 00:15:41.214
- Let's not forget what happened on october 7th.
- 00:15:41.214 --> 00:15:43.617
- And in israel, yes, a thousand israelites were killed,
- 00:15:43.617 --> 00:15:46.887
- But 46 americans were killed as well.
- 00:15:46.887 --> 00:15:49.456
- They have been chanting in the streets.
- 00:15:49.456 --> 00:15:51.158
- Death to america. death to israel.
- 00:15:51.158 --> 00:15:53.293
- We have to make sure that we finish this drill,
- 00:15:53.293 --> 00:15:56.696
- But make sure they're never going to have a nuclear bomb.
- 00:15:56.696 --> 00:15:59.099
- But what do you do in the strait of hormuz?
- 00:15:59.099 --> 00:16:01.401
- This is going to stabilize gas prices and or energy prices
- 00:16:01.401 --> 00:16:05.672
- For years to come.
- 00:16:05.672 --> 00:16:07.074
- When it
- 00:16:07.074 --> 00:16:07.841
- When iran
- 00:16:07.841 --> 00:16:08.742
- Is not going to be able
- 00:16:08.742 --> 00:16:09.810
- To manipulate the price of oil and use it as a weapon.
- 00:16:09.810 --> 00:16:13.380
- So in the long run, this is going to
- 00:16:13.380 --> 00:16:15.282
- Make gas more accessible and more affordable.
- 00:16:15.282 --> 00:16:19.086
- And i applaud him for doing that.
- 00:16:19.086 --> 00:16:20.754
- And he is putting the squeeze on them.
- 00:16:20.754 --> 00:16:22.689
- They're losing $500 million a day when they are not able
- 00:16:22.689 --> 00:16:26.960
- To access their ports in the strait of hormuz.
- 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.996
- Well, the president is making the case
- 00:16:30.797 --> 00:16:32.999
- That if what's left of iran's leadership doesn't act soon,
- 00:16:32.999 --> 00:16:36.203
- There's an indication that the people of iran
- 00:16:36.203 --> 00:16:38.271
- Are not going to sit still much longer.
- 00:16:38.271 --> 00:16:40.540
- He says that the people there
- 00:16:40.540 --> 00:16:41.575
- Just need more of their own weapons.
- 00:16:41.575 --> 00:16:43.844
- Do you think an internal uprising is in the cards?
- 00:16:43.844 --> 00:16:46.947
- I certainly hope it is.
- 00:16:47.447 --> 00:16:48.482
- And it should be.
- 00:16:48.482 --> 00:16:49.583
- Yeah.
- 00:16:49.583 --> 00:16:49.916
- You know,
- 00:16:49.916 --> 00:16:50.717
- I keep hearing from iranian americans
- 00:16:50.717 --> 00:16:52.519
- Who are telling me that
- 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:53.753
- 95% of the population over there doesn't agree with the regime,
- 00:16:53.753 --> 00:16:57.891
- And they want the regime to be gone.
- 00:16:57.891 --> 00:16:59.826
- Well, they need to get rid of them then.
- 00:16:59.826 --> 00:17:01.728
- I know, i know, it's tough.
- 00:17:01.728 --> 00:17:03.196
- I know they're intimidated. i know that they are threatened.
- 00:17:03.196 --> 00:17:05.966
- And that would be difficult for anyone.
- 00:17:05.966 --> 00:17:08.768
- But at the same time, we need that to happen.
- 00:17:08.768 --> 00:17:11.571
- And there's not going to be a better chance
- 00:17:11.571 --> 00:17:13.406
- For it to happen than there is right now.
- 00:17:13.406 --> 00:17:15.609
- They need to take advantage of this.
- 00:17:15.609 --> 00:17:17.277
- And if the regime in iran had any common sense at all,
- 00:17:17.277 --> 00:17:21.014
- They would negotiate the best deal that they can.
- 00:17:21.014 --> 00:17:23.884
- They need to understand that this president says
- 00:17:23.884 --> 00:17:26.753
- What he means and means what he says.
- 00:17:26.753 --> 00:17:29.189
- Well, before we run out of time, i want to ask
- 00:17:30.123 --> 00:17:32.058
- About the president's upcoming meeting with jinping.
- 00:17:32.058 --> 00:17:35.629
- China has been funding iran's war, buying 90% of their oil
- 00:17:35.629 --> 00:17:38.999
- And then selling them all sorts of weapons.
- 00:17:38.999 --> 00:17:41.301
- But they need the american market even more.
- 00:17:41.301 --> 00:17:44.437
- Do you think president trump will be able to get china's
- 00:17:44.437 --> 00:17:46.439
- Help driving a peace deal with iran?
- 00:17:46.439 --> 00:17:49.543
- We hope he will, and they should.
- 00:17:49.543 --> 00:17:51.378
- This is important for china.
- 00:17:51.378 --> 00:17:52.712
- A third of china's energy comes through the strait of hormuz.
- 00:17:52.712 --> 00:17:56.149
- And if that's going to be close, if we're going to continue
- 00:17:56.149 --> 00:17:58.818
- To have the problems there that we are,
- 00:17:58.818 --> 00:18:00.420
- It's going to impact the economy of china significantly.
- 00:18:00.420 --> 00:18:03.857
- It would be in
- 00:18:03.857 --> 00:18:05.091
- Their best interest to help us to negotiate a peace deal here.
- 00:18:05.091 --> 00:18:08.361
- It would be in the best interest of them, as well as the
- 00:18:08.361 --> 00:18:12.065
- World, to make sure that iran never has a nuclear weapon.
- 00:18:12.065 --> 00:18:17.370
- Well, i pray that common
- 00:18:17.904 --> 00:18:19.206
- Sense makes it its way to the bargaining table.
- 00:18:19.206 --> 00:18:22.342
- Congressman carter, i thank you for your time today.
- 00:18:22.342 --> 00:18:24.945
- We hope to see you again soon.
- 00:18:24.945 --> 00:18:27.280
- Thank you.
- 00:18:27.280 --> 00:18:28.615
- In a moment, your emails.
- 00:18:28.615 --> 00:18:30.116
- We'll be right back.
- 00:18:30.116 --> 00:18:36.017
- We'll be right back.
- 00:18:36.017 --> 00:18:40.892
- If you ever missed a live episode of the program,
- 00:18:41.859 --> 00:18:44.095
- You can always go to aj now, dot com.
- 00:18:44.095 --> 00:18:46.431
- There's a full archive there of all the programs.
- 00:18:46.431 --> 00:18:48.900
- You can watch them at your leisure.
- 00:18:48.900 --> 00:18:50.068
- They're easy to share with a friend.
- 00:18:50.068 --> 00:18:52.203
- Thanks for your emails.
- 00:18:52.203 --> 00:18:53.404
- Your comments and thoughts are always helpful.
- 00:18:53.404 --> 00:18:57.008
- Michael e mailed in his book a letter to the american church.
- 00:18:57.008 --> 00:19:00.511
- Eric metaxas writes about dietrich bonhoeffer
- 00:19:00.511 --> 00:19:03.514
- And the unwillingness of the church
- 00:19:03.514 --> 00:19:04.816
- In germany to stand up to hitler.
- 00:19:04.816 --> 00:19:07.285
- Do you see similarities
- 00:19:07.285 --> 00:19:08.486
- Between the challenges faced by germany in the 1930s
- 00:19:08.486 --> 00:19:11.623
- And the turmoil growing in the united states today?
- 00:19:11.623 --> 00:19:14.559
- Well, i think the capitulation of the church
- 00:19:15.460 --> 00:19:17.362
- In germany and in europe, as many parallels
- 00:19:17.362 --> 00:19:20.131
- With our current ecclesiastical environment.
- 00:19:20.131 --> 00:19:23.868
- I think some of the parallels
- 00:19:23.868 --> 00:19:24.836
- With the nazis are just too easy to draw,
- 00:19:24.836 --> 00:19:26.704
- And we kind of dump everything into that bucket.
- 00:19:26.704 --> 00:19:28.806
- I think it's more helpful to remember that
- 00:19:28.806 --> 00:19:30.375
- It was christian europe,
- 00:19:30.375 --> 00:19:31.676
- The western civilization of christian europe that gave up
- 00:19:31.676 --> 00:19:35.880
- The jews to the final solution of the nazis.
- 00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.250
- That's it folks.
- 00:19:39.250 --> 00:19:40.451
- Christian europe handed over the jewish people, the jewish.
- 00:19:40.451 --> 00:19:43.021
- The hatred of the jewish people in europe
- 00:19:43.021 --> 00:19:45.123
- Is what made the holocaust possible.
- 00:19:45.123 --> 00:19:47.392
- And it's very troubling to see the hatred
- 00:19:47.392 --> 00:19:49.327
- Of the jewish people that is spreading amongst
- 00:19:49.327 --> 00:19:52.030
- Even the evangelical community in our country today.
- 00:19:52.030 --> 00:19:54.699
- Without the jewish people, we have no story, no scripture,
- 00:19:54.699 --> 00:19:58.002
- No covenants, no law, no messiah.
- 00:19:58.002 --> 00:20:00.838
- We are indebted to them.
- 00:20:00.838 --> 00:20:03.308
- Andy from massachusetts wrote, i believe rhetoric against one
- 00:20:03.308 --> 00:20:06.311
- Man who is the president of the usa should be reined in.
- 00:20:06.311 --> 00:20:09.747
- I do have a question.
- 00:20:10.248 --> 00:20:11.316
- Does obamacare cover trump derangement syndrome?
- 00:20:11.316 --> 00:20:14.819
- I don't know, and that would be a question
- 00:20:14.819 --> 00:20:17.388
- For someone smarter than i.
- 00:20:17.388 --> 00:20:19.190
- I don't think we could afford it, though.
- 00:20:19.190 --> 00:20:20.658
- If it does.
- 00:20:20.658 --> 00:20:22.593
- Kelly.
- 00:20:22.593 --> 00:20:22.994
- She emailed
- 00:20:22.994 --> 00:20:23.928
- I read an article in the hill yesterday
- 00:20:23.928 --> 00:20:25.363
- That stated someone suggested that
- 00:20:25.363 --> 00:20:26.864
- The name of the immigration and customs enforcement agency
- 00:20:26.864 --> 00:20:30.234
- Should be changed to the national immigration
- 00:20:30.234 --> 00:20:33.037
- And customs enforcement.
- 00:20:33.037 --> 00:20:34.806
- Then the media would have to call the agents
- 00:20:34.806 --> 00:20:36.674
- Nice agents when reporting along with any protesters.
- 00:20:36.674 --> 00:20:40.745
- I like the way you're thinking, kelly,
- 00:20:40.745 --> 00:20:42.180
- And i bet
- 00:20:42.180 --> 00:20:42.880
- If president trump hears that
- 00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:44.082
- There will be an executive order coming from his desk soon.
- 00:20:44.082 --> 00:20:46.751
- David a from washington says, as was stated by alan,
- 00:20:47.785 --> 00:20:51.055
- Germany is belittling our country over the iran war.
- 00:20:51.055 --> 00:20:54.459
- The us is currently 36,000 service members
- 00:20:54.459 --> 00:20:57.328
- There protecting their country.
- 00:20:57.328 --> 00:20:59.263
- Bring them home and let them fend for themselves.
- 00:20:59.263 --> 00:21:02.533
- Well,
- 00:21:02.767 --> 00:21:03.301
- I think the attitude
- 00:21:03.301 --> 00:21:03.801
- Of much of europe
- 00:21:03.801 --> 00:21:04.936
- And our nato allies has been more than disappointing.
- 00:21:04.936 --> 00:21:08.206
- I pray that we're able
- 00:21:08.206 --> 00:21:09.607
- To negotiate a change in those relationships.
- 00:21:09.607 --> 00:21:12.610
- We need their strength,
- 00:21:12.610 --> 00:21:14.512
- But we can't afford to deny their capitulation any longer.
- 00:21:14.512 --> 00:21:18.116
- The truth will bring freedom.
- 00:21:18.116 --> 00:21:20.485
- An email i recently heard you say that righteousness
- 00:21:20.485 --> 00:21:23.554
- Is standing before god without fear, shame, or sin.
- 00:21:23.554 --> 00:21:27.925
- I believe my quote is righteousness
- 00:21:27.925 --> 00:21:29.394
- Is the ability to stand before god without fear,
- 00:21:29.394 --> 00:21:31.529
- Shame, or guilt.
- 00:21:31.529 --> 00:21:33.598
- Is that correct?
- 00:21:33.598 --> 00:21:34.732
- I want to be sure before i share it with our neighbors.
- 00:21:34.732 --> 00:21:36.734
- Righteousness is a gift.
- 00:21:36.734 --> 00:21:38.035
- It's made available to us
- 00:21:38.035 --> 00:21:39.337
- Because of jesus and his redemptive work.
- 00:21:39.337 --> 00:21:41.639
- We can't earn it or it wouldn't be a gift.
- 00:21:41.639 --> 00:21:43.975
- We don't qualify for it.
- 00:21:43.975 --> 00:21:45.610
- Jesus made that provision in our behalf.
- 00:21:45.610 --> 00:21:48.179
- All of us have an appointment in our future to stand
- 00:21:48.179 --> 00:21:50.515
- Before the creator of heaven and earth.
- 00:21:50.515 --> 00:21:52.417
- You'll want to be prepared for that day.
- 00:21:52.417 --> 00:21:54.719
- And the best means of preparation
- 00:21:54.719 --> 00:21:56.354
- Is getting to know a person.
- 00:21:56.354 --> 00:21:57.488
- His name is jesus of nazareth.
- 00:21:57.488 --> 00:21:59.390
- It's not about being religious or joining a church.
- 00:21:59.390 --> 00:22:01.692
- It's a change of allegiance and the authority in your life.
- 00:22:01.692 --> 00:22:05.630
- Thank you for spending a few minutes of your day with us.
- 00:22:05.630 --> 00:22:07.765
- God is moving in the earth.
- 00:22:07.765 --> 00:22:09.700
- I want to be a part, and i believe you do too.
- 00:22:09.700 --> 00:22:12.103
- Good night. god bless.
- 00:22:12.103 --> 00:22:12.103
