Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Dealmaking Path | Allen Jackson Now | November 24, 2025

Well.
00:00:04.930 --> 00:00:06.131
Good evening, i'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
00:00:06.131 --> 00:00:08.834
President trump has easily logged more miles flying
00:00:08.834 --> 00:00:12.070
Around the globe than any president
00:00:12.070 --> 00:00:14.039
Since air force one first took flight.
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:16.775
Settling wars, making deals and trying to show the world
00:00:16.775 --> 00:00:20.812
That democracy works much better than any other option.
00:00:20.812 --> 00:00:25.283
And just ten months into the job,
00:00:25.283 --> 00:00:26.952
He's created what looks like a far
00:00:26.952 --> 00:00:28.753
More effective way of finding peace
00:00:28.753 --> 00:00:31.223
By partnering with other world leaders who have the same goals.
00:00:31.223 --> 00:00:34.893
The best example has been the middle east,
00:00:34.893 --> 00:00:36.828
Where he built a consortium
00:00:36.828 --> 00:00:38.597
That effectively surrounded hamas with no other choice
00:00:38.597 --> 00:00:42.234
Than to put their weapons down and return the hostages.
00:00:42.234 --> 00:00:45.270
Now he's trying to do the same
00:00:45.270 --> 00:00:46.438
With nato partners to show russia
00:00:46.438 --> 00:00:48.874
That it cannot take over ukraine.
00:00:48.874 --> 00:00:51.309
But can it work with the
00:00:51.309 --> 00:00:52.277
Stubborn and often dishonest vladimir putin?
00:00:52.277 --> 00:00:56.114
Well, our guest tonight is a wise man and a good friend,
00:00:56.114 --> 00:00:59.317
Captain chuck nash. welcome back, captain.
00:00:59.317 --> 00:01:01.720
The pleasure to be with you, pastor.
00:01:02.487 --> 00:01:04.923
Let's start with putin,
00:01:04.923 --> 00:01:06.324
Who's proved to be the most challenging
00:01:06.324 --> 00:01:08.093
For president trump to negotiate with.
00:01:08.093 --> 00:01:10.262
He comes to meetings, he smiles a lot.
00:01:10.262 --> 00:01:12.297
He says the right things and even wrote
00:01:12.297 --> 00:01:14.166
Back to the first lady when she was asking
00:01:14.166 --> 00:01:16.334
For the release of ukrainian children
00:01:16.334 --> 00:01:19.070
Who'd been captured in the war.
00:01:19.070 --> 00:01:20.872
But at the same time, he's sending hundreds of drones
00:01:20.872 --> 00:01:23.241
To attack inside ukraine, 500 of them in just one day.
00:01:23.241 --> 00:01:27.779
What will it take to stop him?
00:01:27.779 --> 00:01:31.216
Well, i think we might be getting close to that point.
00:01:31.216 --> 00:01:33.585
Finally.
00:01:33.585 --> 00:01:34.686
We talked about it, the last time we were together.
00:01:34.686 --> 00:01:37.889
And that is the pressure that is being put on the oil
00:01:37.889 --> 00:01:42.360
And energy industry inside of russia, which accounts
00:01:42.360 --> 00:01:46.231
For the majority of their income.
00:01:46.231 --> 00:01:49.067
The winter coming up, the frozen pipelines,
00:01:49.935 --> 00:01:52.604
And then you add on the absolute destruction to that
00:01:52.604 --> 00:01:56.408
The ukrainians are wreaking on their energy infrastructure.
00:01:56.408 --> 00:02:00.979
Inside russia.
00:02:01.313 --> 00:02:03.014
There are about 60 major, oil
00:02:03.014 --> 00:02:06.451
And refining, installations in western russia.
00:02:06.451 --> 00:02:10.822
And the ukrainians have hit every one of them at least once.
00:02:10.822 --> 00:02:14.326
Wow. and they are now building.
00:02:14.326 --> 00:02:16.895
The ukrainians now have the domestic capability
00:02:16.895 --> 00:02:20.699
To build missiles that can go 1800 miles,
00:02:20.699 --> 00:02:23.735
Which reach deep into russia and get a lot of the other,
00:02:23.735 --> 00:02:28.340
Refining and, pumping,
00:02:28.807 --> 00:02:31.910
Stations.
00:02:32.210 --> 00:02:32.811
So, everybody well,
00:02:32.811 --> 00:02:35.213
Not everybody, but a lot of people pooh poohed,
00:02:35.213 --> 00:02:37.949
President trump when he said, well,
00:02:37.949 --> 00:02:39.851
We're going to put sanctions on russian oil.
00:02:39.851 --> 00:02:42.487
It's working.
00:02:42.487 --> 00:02:44.089
The indians and the chinese, their major refineries,
00:02:44.089 --> 00:02:47.492
Have stopped all deliveries as of december.
00:02:47.492 --> 00:02:50.962
And that's when the grace period ends.
00:02:50.962 --> 00:02:53.031
So, if you look at, what the russian industry
00:02:53.031 --> 00:02:57.502
Has to do to sell their oil illicitly,
00:02:57.502 --> 00:03:00.672
They have to get down to $36 a barrel.
00:03:00.672 --> 00:03:02.941
That's a 40% discount, off of,
00:03:02.941 --> 00:03:06.278
Our standard, pricing.
00:03:06.745 --> 00:03:10.215
So they're hurting.
00:03:10.215 --> 00:03:12.150
It's going to take money from them
00:03:12.150 --> 00:03:14.085
And to to make up for it to pay the war.
00:03:14.085 --> 00:03:16.888
He's going to have to raise taxes,
00:03:16.888 --> 00:03:18.623
Which, when you take the mile long gas lines that are already,
00:03:18.623 --> 00:03:22.627
Inside places in russia, you add on the tax burden
00:03:22.627 --> 00:03:25.964
And you throw on a russian winter.
00:03:25.964 --> 00:03:27.699
I think it's time for him to come to the table.
00:03:28.700 --> 00:03:31.169
And steve would cough and,
00:03:31.169 --> 00:03:34.606
Putin's negotiators, i think, are coming to that conclusion.
00:03:34.606 --> 00:03:38.143
You know, president trump has been smart
00:03:38.977 --> 00:03:40.979
About using the carrot and stick approach with putin
00:03:40.979 --> 00:03:43.815
Trying to cut off their oil sales
00:03:43.815 --> 00:03:45.650
While arming ukraine with some of our best weapons.
00:03:45.650 --> 00:03:48.653
He also told putin that he may be able to push zelenskyy
00:03:48.653 --> 00:03:51.823
To give up some of the territory he wants.
00:03:51.823 --> 00:03:54.292
Do you think that strategy could work?
00:03:54.292 --> 00:03:57.462
Well, again,
00:03:57.462 --> 00:03:59.297
It doesn't take a, a year to,
00:03:59.297 --> 00:04:02.901
To see what is going to have to happen.
00:04:02.901 --> 00:04:06.171
And we've talked about this before.
00:04:06.171 --> 00:04:07.772
Ukraine is going to have to give up territory.
00:04:07.772 --> 00:04:10.375
That is just the way it is.
00:04:10.375 --> 00:04:12.444
And the ukrainians don't want to hear that.
00:04:12.444 --> 00:04:14.512
Now, axios is reporting that there's a 28 point peace plan
00:04:14.512 --> 00:04:18.550
That the united states
00:04:18.550 --> 00:04:19.551
And the russians have been working on,
00:04:19.551 --> 00:04:21.486
And we've got the secretary
00:04:21.486 --> 00:04:23.021
Of the army, the chief of staff of the army,
00:04:23.021 --> 00:04:25.390
And some other, high delegation, people in kyiv
00:04:25.390 --> 00:04:29.761
Right now talking with zelensky and his people.
00:04:29.761 --> 00:04:32.931
And inside that 28 point plan, supposedly,
00:04:32.931 --> 00:04:38.536
It's for,
00:04:38.837 --> 00:04:40.705
Zelensky to give up portions of the donbas
00:04:40.705 --> 00:04:44.576
That, the russians have and that the ukrainians
00:04:44.576 --> 00:04:47.278
Currently hold to cut the armed forces by 50%,
00:04:47.278 --> 00:04:50.915
Abandon certain categories of weaponry,
00:04:50.915 --> 00:04:53.952
Including the long range missiles
00:04:53.952 --> 00:04:55.620
That the united states and western allies
00:04:55.620 --> 00:04:57.789
Have been providing, a rollback in u.s.
00:04:57.789 --> 00:05:00.592
Military assistance.
00:05:00.592 --> 00:05:01.826
No foreign troops on ukrainian soil and,
00:05:01.826 --> 00:05:05.663
Russian as an official state language in ukraine.
00:05:05.663 --> 00:05:08.867
So those are just some of the points.
00:05:08.867 --> 00:05:10.568
And of course, the ukrainians will buck that.
00:05:10.568 --> 00:05:13.304
The majority of those.
00:05:13.304 --> 00:05:14.639
We'll see what our nato allies and european allies
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.810
Do with that.
00:05:18.810 --> 00:05:20.044
But i think it gets to the point
00:05:20.044 --> 00:05:21.913
Where president trump holds the cards.
00:05:21.913 --> 00:05:24.482
And what he can tell the western allies is, look,
00:05:24.482 --> 00:05:27.952
We're going to put together something
00:05:27.952 --> 00:05:29.721
That we think is common sense that gets this war stopped.
00:05:29.721 --> 00:05:33.291
If you fight us on this, fine.
00:05:33.291 --> 00:05:35.660
It's on you. we're out.
00:05:35.660 --> 00:05:37.829
Well, you mentioned steve wyckoff a moment ago.
00:05:38.830 --> 00:05:40.832
President trump has been using his old friend and his son in
00:05:40.832 --> 00:05:43.835
Law, jared
00:05:43.835 --> 00:05:44.936
Kushner, on these peace missions, holding out the idea
00:05:44.936 --> 00:05:48.139
That good business opportunities could come with peace.
00:05:48.139 --> 00:05:51.843
You think that's a better way to get to the goal,
00:05:51.843 --> 00:05:53.645
Rather than just using strictly military options?
00:05:53.645 --> 00:05:57.315
I think,
00:05:57.582 --> 00:05:58.783
Economic and military, they're all part of the same thing.
00:05:58.783 --> 00:06:02.120
It's all part of foreign policy,
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:03.855
Which is why the president needs the authority to impose
00:06:03.855 --> 00:06:06.958
Sanctions and to, impose tariffs.
00:06:06.958 --> 00:06:10.862
It's it's, you know, diplomatic, economic and military.
00:06:10.862 --> 00:06:14.365
Those are the three legs of the stool in foreign policy.
00:06:14.365 --> 00:06:18.503
So, yes, i really do think that perhaps
00:06:18.503 --> 00:06:21.406
A realistic approach to foreign policy is long overdue.
00:06:21.406 --> 00:06:24.876
Well, one more question about putin.
00:06:25.643 --> 00:06:27.779
Well, he's been pushing back on president trump.
00:06:27.779 --> 00:06:29.848
He's also spent time
00:06:29.848 --> 00:06:31.115
Posing for photographs with his nuclear arsenal.
00:06:31.115 --> 00:06:34.319
I'd like to think
00:06:34.752 --> 00:06:35.887
It's his awkward way of creating social media threats.
00:06:35.887 --> 00:06:38.490
But do you think he's brazen enough to use a nuclear weapon
00:06:38.490 --> 00:06:41.059
If he finds his back against the wall?
00:06:41.059 --> 00:06:43.728
No, i don't.
00:06:44.062 --> 00:06:45.363
And if he did, i don't think the russian military
00:06:45.363 --> 00:06:47.699
Would carry it out, quite frankly.
00:06:47.699 --> 00:06:50.468
When you when you see where this thing has gone
00:06:50.468 --> 00:06:53.304
And it has been an absolute meat grinder,
00:06:53.304 --> 00:06:56.741
And the soviet, the russians, rather,
00:06:56.741 --> 00:06:59.444
The russians have been just decimating, a generation
00:06:59.444 --> 00:07:04.349
Of young men and for very, very little strategic gain.
00:07:04.349 --> 00:07:08.720
If they can hold the donbas and the crimea,
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.223
That will putin will be happy with that.
00:07:12.223 --> 00:07:14.492
The ukrainians won't.
00:07:14.492 --> 00:07:16.060
But to stop the slaughter.
00:07:16.060 --> 00:07:17.729
That may be what is going to have to be negotiated.
00:07:17.729 --> 00:07:21.866
And i think that's where it's going.
00:07:21.866 --> 00:07:24.102
This seems like a tremendous loss of life
00:07:24.102 --> 00:07:26.838
When we're arguing about a border and its movement
00:07:26.838 --> 00:07:29.040
A matter of a bit, one way or the other.
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.576
Do you think common sense is going to prevail soon?
00:07:31.576 --> 00:07:34.312
It has to.
00:07:34.312 --> 00:07:36.447
It's too much blood and treasure that has been wasted.
00:07:35.313 --> 00:07:39.450
On on some muddy fields and.
00:07:40.051 --> 00:07:42.053
Yeah, i get it.
00:07:42.053 --> 00:07:43.288
There's a there are a lot of natural resources in the donbas,
00:07:43.288 --> 00:07:46.791
Which is why the russians want it.
00:07:46.791 --> 00:07:48.259
And because of the, the ethnic russian,
00:07:48.259 --> 00:07:52.130
Speaking people in the donbas region.
00:07:52.130 --> 00:07:54.232
I get all that. the land bridge to the crimea?
00:07:54.232 --> 00:07:56.968
Yes. that's all important to the russians.
00:07:56.968 --> 00:07:59.904
But the loss of life and the continued destruction
00:07:59.904 --> 00:08:02.640
On both sides, it's it's got to come to an end.
00:08:02.640 --> 00:08:06.077
Well, chuck, we need to take a short break.
00:08:06.945 --> 00:08:08.513
Can you stay for another segment?
00:08:08.513 --> 00:08:10.615
I certainly can.
00:08:10.615 --> 00:08:11.849
Well, for those of you watching, i'd like to suggest
00:08:11.849 --> 00:08:14.018
Using this time to log on to ag now.com.
00:08:14.018 --> 00:08:17.055
You can share your thoughts
00:08:17.055 --> 00:08:18.189
On the foreign policy issues we're discussing.
00:08:18.189 --> 00:08:20.992
We'll be right back.
00:08:20.992 --> 00:08:29.005
We'll be right back.
00:08:29.005 --> 00:08:33.611
We're back now
00:08:33.944 --> 00:08:35.045
With the very accomplished navy captain chuck nash.
00:08:35.045 --> 00:08:38.616
Let's move to the caribbean, where u.s.
00:08:38.616 --> 00:08:40.451
Ships are standing
00:08:40.451 --> 00:08:41.652
By off the coast of venezuela and not far from colombia.
00:08:41.652 --> 00:08:45.356
While the president is trying to stop drugs from
00:08:45.356 --> 00:08:47.424
Coming into the united states,
00:08:47.424 --> 00:08:49.226
The liberal media is doing whatever it can to make
00:08:49.226 --> 00:08:51.962
The president look bad.
00:08:51.962 --> 00:08:53.497
Rather than getting credit for doing something effective
00:08:53.497 --> 00:08:56.066
In the war on drugs.
00:08:56.066 --> 00:08:57.534
This veteran nbc reporter was siding with the fishermen.
00:08:57.534 --> 00:09:01.405
Listen to this.
00:09:01.405 --> 00:09:02.840
The u.s.
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:03.707
Military strikes on boats allegedly
00:09:03.707 --> 00:09:05.209
Carrying drugs heading for the united states
00:09:05.209 --> 00:09:07.344
Is having a chilling effect on fishermen here in colombia.
00:09:07.344 --> 00:09:11.115
Normally, these boats go far out to sea to find their catch.
00:09:11.115 --> 00:09:15.519
But now fishermen tell us they're too afraid.
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.288
Worried that if they go far from the shore,
00:09:18.288 --> 00:09:21.291
They could be hit by a u.s. drone.
00:09:21.291 --> 00:09:22.960
These are multinational organizations that,
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.996
They're not going to stop.
00:09:25.996 --> 00:09:27.331
They're going to continue to try to
00:09:27.331 --> 00:09:29.366
Not only smuggle illicit narcotics
00:09:29.366 --> 00:09:31.368
Into the united states, but they're going to
00:09:31.368 --> 00:09:33.270
There are criminal enterprise.
00:09:33.270 --> 00:09:34.571
There's a coordinated strategy
00:09:34.571 --> 00:09:36.240
Here by the trump team that is the right strategy
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.876
To try to reduce this threat to americans.
00:09:38.876 --> 00:09:42.312
Chuck, you've probably noticed how the reporter said allegedly
00:09:42.312 --> 00:09:45.482
Carrying drugs
00:09:45.482 --> 00:09:46.817
As if any fisherman would have three 200 horsepower
00:09:46.817 --> 00:09:49.486
Engines on the transom.
00:09:49.486 --> 00:09:51.321
I'm assuming that your navy colleagues
00:09:51.321 --> 00:09:53.190
Know the difference
00:09:53.190 --> 00:09:54.258
Between a little fishing boat and drug runners.
00:09:54.258 --> 00:09:56.727
Am i correct?
00:09:56.727 --> 00:09:58.762
Absolutely.
00:09:59.096 --> 00:09:59.797
You are correct.
00:09:59.797 --> 00:10:00.931
And, some of those fishing boats, that i've seen,
00:10:00.931 --> 00:10:05.335
Fishing boats, they don't go out with,
00:10:05.335 --> 00:10:08.505
With square packages.
00:10:09.006 --> 00:10:11.608
You know, all the way up to the gunwales and,
00:10:11.608 --> 00:10:14.678
You know, like you say, the big outboards in the back
00:10:14.678 --> 00:10:18.615
Pushing 40 or 50 miles an hour in open ocean.
00:10:18.615 --> 00:10:21.752
No, no, no.
00:10:21.752 --> 00:10:22.953
Those are drug smugglers, and they're moving their product
00:10:22.953 --> 00:10:26.390
To staging areas where for further infiltration
00:10:26.390 --> 00:10:29.493
Into the united states. so,
00:10:29.493 --> 00:10:32.930
The intelligence is good on this.
00:10:32.930 --> 00:10:34.832
Secretary rubio, has gone at the point, man, on this,
00:10:34.832 --> 00:10:39.470
Pointing out that we have more than ample
00:10:39.470 --> 00:10:41.438
Intelligence to know exactly what's on those boats.
00:10:41.438 --> 00:10:44.274
And i'm sure, that he would not be that
00:10:44.274 --> 00:10:47.144
Far out ahead of his skis if he didn't know that for a fact.
00:10:47.144 --> 00:10:51.482
Well, another
00:10:51.849 --> 00:10:53.016
Troubled part of the globe i'd like to discuss is africa,
00:10:53.016 --> 00:10:55.419
Where christians are being sought out
00:10:55.419 --> 00:10:57.221
And slaughtered in significant numbers.
00:10:57.221 --> 00:11:00.023
President trump has told the nigerian leadership
00:11:00.023 --> 00:11:02.126
That he'll send in u.s.
00:11:02.126 --> 00:11:03.093
Forces to wipe out the terrorist.
00:11:03.093 --> 00:11:05.262
If they don't do something about it.
00:11:05.262 --> 00:11:07.431
How do you see this playing out?
00:11:07.431 --> 00:11:10.534
I think there's a role here for the united states.
00:11:10.534 --> 00:11:13.470
This is, again, just an absolute tragic loss of life.
00:11:13.470 --> 00:11:17.608
There have been probably 100,000 christians wiped out,
00:11:17.608 --> 00:11:21.178
In, in nigeria.
00:11:21.545 --> 00:11:23.213
And then you look at what's been going on in the southern sudan
00:11:23.213 --> 00:11:26.450
And elsewhere.
00:11:26.784 --> 00:11:28.852
Again, that has to come.
00:11:28.852 --> 00:11:30.320
That has to come to an end.
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:31.555
Everybody was talking about gaza, gaza, gaza.
00:11:31.555 --> 00:11:34.024
Well, if you look at what's happened
00:11:34.024 --> 00:11:36.059
In nigeria, that is true ethnic cleansing.
00:11:36.059 --> 00:11:39.863
That's exactly what's going on there.
00:11:39.863 --> 00:11:41.832
You have an islamic group trying to wipe out
00:11:41.832 --> 00:11:45.235
All of the christians in that country.
00:11:45.235 --> 00:11:47.771
So yes.
00:11:47.771 --> 00:11:49.473
Police have been made to the
00:11:50.073 --> 00:11:51.708
President to look and see what the united states role could be.
00:11:51.708 --> 00:11:55.646
And i am sure that, that we are
00:11:55.646 --> 00:11:58.482
Looking at at all levels of our government.
00:11:58.482 --> 00:12:01.485
I understand that the saudi crown prince
00:12:01.485 --> 00:12:03.453
Was asking the president to pay attention to sudan
00:12:03.453 --> 00:12:07.224
And see if there was something that could be done there.
00:12:07.224 --> 00:12:08.859
Do you think that's on the agenda as well?
00:12:08.859 --> 00:12:11.695
I do. the whole,
00:12:11.695 --> 00:12:14.164
That whole area of africa, it has been in turmoil.
00:12:14.164 --> 00:12:18.168
And you can look all the way to the east in somalia
00:12:18.168 --> 00:12:22.105
And then just work your way west,
00:12:22.105 --> 00:12:25.042
Through libya.
00:12:25.042 --> 00:12:26.376
There's another libya is a somalia with oil.
00:12:26.376 --> 00:12:29.847
So it's just the whole place is a mess.
00:12:29.847 --> 00:12:33.350
And that drives the, immigration
00:12:33.350 --> 00:12:37.588
Into europe, which has caused so many problems.
00:12:37.588 --> 00:12:41.058
And you've got cultures in europe, the italians,
00:12:41.058 --> 00:12:44.361
In denmark, in the netherlands.
00:12:44.995 --> 00:12:46.930
Their cultures are at risk because they have been
00:12:47.898 --> 00:12:50.334
Overloaded by, people from mostly,
00:12:50.334 --> 00:12:55.105
The maghreb, from the, northern africa
00:12:55.105 --> 00:12:58.508
Who have come in and they in such vast numbers
00:12:58.508 --> 00:13:01.578
That they have been unable or unwilling to assimilate.
00:13:01.578 --> 00:13:05.349
And so now you have, these divided,
00:13:05.349 --> 00:13:09.219
What used to be monolithic cultures
00:13:09.219 --> 00:13:11.788
Of these european countries, and they're all divided now.
00:13:11.788 --> 00:13:15.559
So, peace has to come to that area
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:19.196
If we're ever to get relief, in the other areas.
00:13:19.196 --> 00:13:22.699
Does the us have any allies in or around africa
00:13:23.634 --> 00:13:26.470
That could be mobilized to help so that u.s.
00:13:26.470 --> 00:13:28.672
Troops don't have to go in and fight the terrorist?
00:13:28.672 --> 00:13:32.376
We do.
00:13:32.576 --> 00:13:33.377
But, those are not the best way
00:13:33.377 --> 00:13:36.480
To describe this transactional.
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.783
It something has to be good for you, for good for me,
00:13:40.884 --> 00:13:43.854
And it has to be in relatively short period of time.
00:13:43.854 --> 00:13:47.090
Those relationships are ones where
00:13:47.858 --> 00:13:51.094
You have to rent them.
00:13:51.094 --> 00:13:52.829
They're not really long term.
00:13:52.829 --> 00:13:54.464
I would say probably the best allies that we have
00:13:54.464 --> 00:13:57.734
Are not in the countries that are in question.
00:13:57.734 --> 00:14:00.504
There are in countries like, egypt,
00:14:00.504 --> 00:14:03.507
Possibly tunisia.
00:14:03.941 --> 00:14:05.676
Yes. those are, i would say, more able to deal with then.
00:14:05.676 --> 00:14:10.614
Certainly, sudan or nigeria.
00:14:10.614 --> 00:14:13.850
Well, one last question.
00:14:14.384 --> 00:14:15.652
I'm curious about your opinion.
00:14:15.652 --> 00:14:17.054
Secretary hegseth
00:14:17.054 --> 00:14:18.889
Called an unprecedented number of military leaders
00:14:18.889 --> 00:14:21.758
To washington to try to establish,
00:14:21.758 --> 00:14:26.063
I think, a way forward where they could be unified.
00:14:26.063 --> 00:14:29.333
You have an opinion on how effective that will be
00:14:29.333 --> 00:14:31.568
And what the impact of something like that will be longer term.
00:14:31.568 --> 00:14:35.439
Well, i think it'll be effective because, it's
00:14:35.439 --> 00:14:37.808
Not one of those things where if he had gone out to,
00:14:37.808 --> 00:14:41.044
Each theater individually and had a talk,
00:14:41.044 --> 00:14:44.448
The leaders could have said, well, that's
00:14:45.349 --> 00:14:46.616
Not what i heard when he came here. no.
00:14:46.616 --> 00:14:48.819
They were all in the room.
00:14:48.819 --> 00:14:50.020
They all heard the same thing.
00:14:50.020 --> 00:14:51.755
And it was an open invitation to participate,
00:14:51.755 --> 00:14:55.659
In the new war department and to readjust
00:14:55.659 --> 00:14:59.997
The culture, to go back to our warfighting ethos
00:14:59.997 --> 00:15:03.467
And to to really rejuvenate
00:15:03.467 --> 00:15:07.337
For, the american future, the golden american future.
00:15:07.337 --> 00:15:10.974
So, the other side of that was and if you can't,
00:15:10.974 --> 00:15:14.811
There's the door.
00:15:14.811 --> 00:15:16.446
I have not heard of any four star or three stars
00:15:16.446 --> 00:15:19.483
Resigning recently.
00:15:19.483 --> 00:15:21.685
Now, i do know that the,
00:15:21.685 --> 00:15:24.054
Four star navy admiral in southern command,
00:15:24.054 --> 00:15:27.357
Is retiring, but that's the only one that i've heard.
00:15:27.357 --> 00:15:30.660
So i think everybody is, is on board.
00:15:30.660 --> 00:15:33.730
Well, chuck nash, thank you for sharing your wisdom
00:15:34.765 --> 00:15:37.367
On these important global issues today.
00:15:37.367 --> 00:15:39.669
Veterans day just passed recently,
00:15:39.669 --> 00:15:41.371
And i'd like to thank you
00:15:41.371 --> 00:15:42.472
For your very successful service on our behalf.
00:15:42.472 --> 00:15:45.609
We'll have you back again soon.
00:15:45.609 --> 00:15:47.778
My pleasure.
00:15:48.111 --> 00:15:48.945
You're too kind, pastor. thank you.
00:15:48.945 --> 00:15:50.981
Well, in a moment, my thoughts on the hope that does exist.
00:15:50.981 --> 00:15:54.484
I'll be right back.
00:15:54.484 --> 00:16:02.007
I'll be right back.
00:16:02.007 --> 00:16:05.367
The ukraine war started by putin has caused
00:16:06.268 --> 00:16:09.137
Millions of people to endure tremendous suffering and death.
00:16:09.137 --> 00:16:12.707
Ballistic missiles the size of telephone
00:16:12.707 --> 00:16:14.643
Poles have struck apartment buildings in ukraine
00:16:14.643 --> 00:16:17.345
Where only women and children have lived.
00:16:17.345 --> 00:16:19.748
Entire cities have been leveled to rubble.
00:16:19.748 --> 00:16:22.384
Now, here in the united states, we think about war differently.
00:16:22.384 --> 00:16:24.786
It's almost as if it were like a video game.
00:16:24.786 --> 00:16:27.189
It doesn't seem real to us.
00:16:27.189 --> 00:16:29.458
Well, consider this.
00:16:29.458 --> 00:16:30.692
According to the united nations, about 13% of ukraine's total
00:16:30.692 --> 00:16:33.728
Housing inventory has been damaged or destroyed.
00:16:33.728 --> 00:16:37.099
It's affected more than 2.5 million households.
00:16:37.099 --> 00:16:40.402
The russian invasion of ukraine has forced
00:16:40.402 --> 00:16:42.237
10 million ukrainians to flee their homes.
00:16:42.237 --> 00:16:44.840
With over 3 million displaced within the country and 7 million
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:48.777
Ukrainians displaced abroad,
00:16:48.777 --> 00:16:51.213
So many deaths on the battlefield on both sides.
00:16:51.213 --> 00:16:53.982
This war is russia's deadliest conflict since world war two.
00:16:53.982 --> 00:16:57.252
Know there's not a solution that's
00:16:57.986 --> 00:16:59.187
Going to make everybody happy. but the bloodshed
00:16:59.187 --> 00:17:01.857
And the warfare, they simply have to stop.
00:17:01.857 --> 00:17:05.260
You don't have to look very far
00:17:05.260 --> 00:17:06.328
Through human history to find leaders who,
00:17:06.328 --> 00:17:08.096
When they managed to consolidate power,
00:17:08.096 --> 00:17:10.398
Behaved in a beastly way.
00:17:10.398 --> 00:17:12.667
When communism came to the russian people,
00:17:12.667 --> 00:17:14.836
Tens of millions of people died.
00:17:14.836 --> 00:17:17.105
Lenin and stalin butchered, terrorized.
00:17:17.105 --> 00:17:20.075
People were murdered in the name of giving something
00:17:20.075 --> 00:17:22.377
To the people.
00:17:22.377 --> 00:17:23.512
What they actually gave to
00:17:23.512 --> 00:17:24.546
The people was a reign of oppression.
00:17:24.546 --> 00:17:27.048
Communism is not just another economic system.
00:17:27.048 --> 00:17:29.951
It's one of the most destructive,
00:17:29.951 --> 00:17:31.419
Murderous expressions of human authority in history.
00:17:31.419 --> 00:17:35.490
And the people who advocate for socialism and communism
00:17:35.490 --> 00:17:38.160
Today in our nation, in our biggest cities,
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.463
They have to deny history to do so.
00:17:41.463 --> 00:17:43.798
And it's only
00:17:43.798 --> 00:17:44.633
Our profound ignorance that gives them
00:17:44.633 --> 00:17:46.168
A place in the public square.
00:17:46.168 --> 00:17:48.236
You know, it's easy for us as christians
00:17:48.236 --> 00:17:49.538
To be tempted to willfully not notice.
00:17:49.538 --> 00:17:52.340
It's just simpler to do a bible study than it is
00:17:52.340 --> 00:17:55.177
To try to engage the world we live in with biblical truth.
00:17:55.177 --> 00:17:58.713
I don't believe we have that luxury any longer.
00:17:58.713 --> 00:18:00.815
We have to tell the truth, stand up for the truth
00:18:00.815 --> 00:18:03.218
And live it out.
00:18:03.218 --> 00:18:04.319
If we'll do that, there's reason for hope.
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.556
We'll be right back
00:18:08.023 --> 00:18:09.124
With your emails.
00:18:09.124 --> 00:18:13.011
With your emails.
00:18:13.011 --> 00:18:17.430
Thank you for spending a few minutes of your day with us.
00:18:18.565 --> 00:18:21.134
It is an honor.
00:18:21.134 --> 00:18:22.902
Your emails make a big difference.
00:18:22.902 --> 00:18:25.171
Terry from sun city center, florida, emailed.
00:18:25.171 --> 00:18:28.141
Why can't the news just concentrate on giving us.
00:18:28.141 --> 00:18:30.510
As sergeant friday used to say, just the facts.
00:18:30.510 --> 00:18:33.580
We don't want their opinion or editorial editorializing.
00:18:33.580 --> 00:18:36.516
We have brains
00:18:36.516 --> 00:18:37.584
And with the facts we can come to our own opinions.
00:18:37.584 --> 00:18:41.354
Well, terry, i don't disagree, but the world we're living in
00:18:41.354 --> 00:18:43.656
Now seems that our information comes filled with opinions.
00:18:43.656 --> 00:18:46.759
So we're gonna have to use our brains and sort through it.
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:49.629
Wishing it weren't that way and going to change it.
00:18:49.629 --> 00:18:52.165
We've got to pay a bit more attention, work a bit harder.
00:18:52.165 --> 00:18:54.434
But there is still news and information available to us.
00:18:54.434 --> 00:18:58.071
Dominic from illinois wrote
00:18:58.671 --> 00:19:00.473
Those on the left are trying to brainwash people,
00:19:00.473 --> 00:19:03.576
Mostly through media and the news, to hate trump
00:19:03.576 --> 00:19:06.379
And everything on the right.
00:19:06.379 --> 00:19:08.114
Almost exactly how some very young children
00:19:08.114 --> 00:19:10.883
Hate everything jewish, which love the hate out of them.
00:19:10.883 --> 00:19:15.355
Well, dominic, i like the approach.
00:19:15.355 --> 00:19:17.757
Jesus warned us in matthew 24
00:19:17.757 --> 00:19:19.792
That the wickedness would grow to the point
00:19:19.792 --> 00:19:22.161
That the love of most would grow cold.
00:19:22.161 --> 00:19:24.163
And the greek word there is the god's love.
00:19:24.163 --> 00:19:26.899
So it's the people of faith we got to guard our hearts.
00:19:26.899 --> 00:19:29.836
I agree with you.
00:19:29.836 --> 00:19:30.670
We can't let hate take over.
00:19:30.670 --> 00:19:33.106
Finally, marilyn from conway, south carolina.
00:19:33.106 --> 00:19:36.442
I'm struggling with discerning the discerning
00:19:36.442 --> 00:19:38.645
The conflicting facts and evidence
00:19:38.645 --> 00:19:40.079
Between the bible and science.
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.081
I saw a segment about the wooly mammoth,
00:19:42.081 --> 00:19:44.117
Which they say existed 40,000 years ago.
00:19:44.117 --> 00:19:47.020
We were taught in school about dinosaurs billions of years ago.
00:19:47.020 --> 00:19:50.423
Doesn't the bible say
00:19:50.423 --> 00:19:51.491
That god's creations were about 7000 years ago?
00:19:51.491 --> 00:19:54.527
When i challenge this, i get nowhere.
00:19:54.527 --> 00:19:56.963
How can science be that much off?
00:19:56.963 --> 00:19:59.332
Well, the debate seems to raged
00:19:59.332 --> 00:20:00.466
Between a young earth and an old earth.
00:20:00.466 --> 00:20:02.935
Lots of facts. lots of opinions.
00:20:02.935 --> 00:20:05.271
One idea that helps me a bit.
00:20:05.905 --> 00:20:07.707
I think in genesis we have an account
00:20:07.707 --> 00:20:10.009
Beyond just original creation.
00:20:10.009 --> 00:20:12.145
When god begins to bring order to this world,
00:20:12.145 --> 00:20:13.980
It says it was chaotic.
00:20:13.980 --> 00:20:15.615
Then god began to speak order into this world.
00:20:15.615 --> 00:20:18.151
I think there's
00:20:18.151 --> 00:20:19.352
Part of the story that we don't have the full picture on.
00:20:19.352 --> 00:20:22.221
Maybe that helps a bit.
00:20:22.722 --> 00:20:24.357
Thank you for spending a few minutes with us today.
00:20:24.357 --> 00:20:26.526
God bless you and i pray you have a good evening.
00:20:26.526 --> 00:20:26.526
