Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Defy Orders | Allen Jackson Now | November 20, 2025
  • Good evening and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:00:05.486 --> 00:00:07.488
  • I'm alan jackson.
  • 00:00:07.488 --> 00:00:08.956
  • And sometimes watching the news is like
  • 00:00:08.956 --> 00:00:11.058
  • Seeing a poorly produced movie
  • 00:00:11.058 --> 00:00:12.526
  • Where things just don't make any sense.
  • 00:00:12.526 --> 00:00:14.829
  • Like the coverage of president trump's war on drugs.
  • 00:00:14.829 --> 00:00:18.032
  • 50 years ago, president nixon declared drug abuse
  • 00:00:18.032 --> 00:00:20.901
  • Public enemy number one, and the war on drugs began.
  • 00:00:20.901 --> 00:00:24.872
  • But nobody can remember
  • 00:00:24.872 --> 00:00:26.073
  • Any anti-drug strategy that has ever worked until now.
  • 00:00:26.073 --> 00:00:30.077
  • Because now we finally have
  • 00:00:30.077 --> 00:00:31.612
  • A president who's executing a real war on drugs,
  • 00:00:31.612 --> 00:00:35.349
  • Closing the borders north and south,
  • 00:00:35.349 --> 00:00:37.151
  • Taking out the drug runners as they speed
  • 00:00:37.151 --> 00:00:39.120
  • Across the caribbean at 6 to 80 miles an hour,
  • 00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:42.289
  • And arresting
  • 00:00:42.289 --> 00:00:42.923
  • And deporting the big
  • 00:00:42.923 --> 00:00:44.058
  • Drug dealers who've set up shop all across the country.
  • 00:00:44.058 --> 00:00:47.795
  • But like a bad movie, the president's success is used
  • 00:00:47.795 --> 00:00:50.631
  • By the liberal media to turn the drug runners
  • 00:00:50.631 --> 00:00:53.367
  • Into the good guys.
  • 00:00:53.367 --> 00:00:55.136
  • They leave out anything resembling the truth,
  • 00:00:55.136 --> 00:00:57.404
  • Such as the fact
  • 00:00:57.404 --> 00:00:58.606
  • That 100,000 americans die from a drug overdose each year.
  • 00:00:58.606 --> 00:01:02.776
  • That's double the number of people who die on our highways.
  • 00:01:02.776 --> 00:01:05.779
  • More than double who die from the flu and pneumonia,
  • 00:01:05.779 --> 00:01:08.616
  • And equal to the number who died from diabetes.
  • 00:01:08.616 --> 00:01:11.218
  • The difference
  • 00:01:11.218 --> 00:01:12.319
  • Is that the government mandated seatbelts and airbags,
  • 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.022
  • And the drug companies produce diet, drugs
  • 00:01:15.022 --> 00:01:17.091
  • And we give flu shots and do whatever possible to save lives.
  • 00:01:17.091 --> 00:01:21.395
  • So why would anyone from any political party
  • 00:01:21.395 --> 00:01:24.331
  • Want to take issue with this new war on drugs
  • 00:01:24.331 --> 00:01:27.501
  • And even threaten violence when president trump is doing
  • 00:01:27.501 --> 00:01:30.004
  • Everything possible to protect americans from dying?
  • 00:01:30.004 --> 00:01:33.874
  • Well, there's no vaccine for trump derangement syndrome.
  • 00:01:33.874 --> 00:01:36.410
  • Not yet anyway.
  • 00:01:36.410 --> 00:01:37.912
  • But there are politicians who deal in common sense.
  • 00:01:37.912 --> 00:01:40.881
  • Former senator scott brown is one of them.
  • 00:01:40.881 --> 00:01:43.184
  • And he's joining us tonight from new hampshire.
  • 00:01:43.184 --> 00:01:45.352
  • Welcome back, scott.
  • 00:01:45.352 --> 00:01:47.321
  • Great to be on alan.
  • 00:01:47.321 --> 00:01:48.422
  • Good day to you and all your listeners and viewers.
  • 00:01:48.422 --> 00:01:51.792
  • As the snow started flying in new england.
  • 00:01:51.792 --> 00:01:54.428
  • Yeah, we had a little bit up north for sure.
  • 00:01:54.428 --> 00:01:56.397
  • The mount washington is getting
  • 00:01:56.397 --> 00:01:57.932
  • A tremendous amount of snow and then some flurries.
  • 00:01:57.932 --> 00:02:00.467
  • Here is 26 this morning.
  • 00:02:00.467 --> 00:02:02.236
  • So here we go. right.
  • 00:02:02.236 --> 00:02:05.172
  • Well new england's had a drug problem for years.
  • 00:02:05.172 --> 00:02:07.341
  • Can you explain what's going on with these people
  • 00:02:07.341 --> 00:02:09.310
  • Who are fighting the only war on drugs has ever worked?
  • 00:02:09.310 --> 00:02:11.912
  • Now, listen, what's happening here in new hampshire?
  • 00:02:12.947 --> 00:02:15.149
  • We have a porous border.
  • 00:02:15.149 --> 00:02:17.151
  • We only have, like, one border patrol person up there.
  • 00:02:17.151 --> 00:02:19.386
  • What they do is they
  • 00:02:19.386 --> 00:02:20.487
  • They'll either
  • 00:02:20.487 --> 00:02:21.555
  • Chopper in or drive in smuggling drugs from canada.
  • 00:02:21.555 --> 00:02:24.358
  • That's why the president's effort to,
  • 00:02:24.358 --> 00:02:26.026
  • You know, get more help is important.
  • 00:02:26.026 --> 00:02:27.995
  • That's why those tariffs are in effect,
  • 00:02:27.995 --> 00:02:29.530
  • Quite frankly, part of it.
  • 00:02:29.530 --> 00:02:31.198
  • And then they'll take it. the mules will take it.
  • 00:02:31.198 --> 00:02:33.500
  • They'll bring it down to, through massachusetts,
  • 00:02:33.500 --> 00:02:35.936
  • Different hampshire through massachusetts.
  • 00:02:35.936 --> 00:02:37.605
  • Then in new york city, they'll cut it up, you know,
  • 00:02:37.605 --> 00:02:40.507
  • Shake it up, mix it up,
  • 00:02:40.507 --> 00:02:42.142
  • And then they'll get it right back to our area.
  • 00:02:42.142 --> 00:02:44.545
  • And it's hurting and killing people.
  • 00:02:44.545 --> 00:02:46.814
  • Still in our area.
  • 00:02:46.814 --> 00:02:47.848
  • It's better, but, so we need to do a lot more.
  • 00:02:47.848 --> 00:02:50.951
  • So what you're referencing, obviously, is what's happening,
  • 00:02:50.951 --> 00:02:54.355
  • With our military basically getting rid of,
  • 00:02:54.355 --> 00:02:57.825
  • Boats that are bringing drugs to our country.
  • 00:02:57.825 --> 00:03:00.861
  • The president's put everyone on notice when i go.
  • 00:03:00.861 --> 00:03:03.697
  • And a lot of that,
  • 00:03:03.697 --> 00:03:04.498
  • Whether it's on your land or not,
  • 00:03:04.498 --> 00:03:06.200
  • We're going to not let drug cartels and others,
  • 00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:09.136
  • You know, have
  • 00:03:09.136 --> 00:03:10.404
  • These, these bases for narcotics to be exported to our country
  • 00:03:10.404 --> 00:03:13.240
  • To kill people.
  • 00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:14.441
  • And yeah, i'm shocked that people aren't supporting it.
  • 00:03:14.441 --> 00:03:17.411
  • You know, they say always breaking the law.
  • 00:03:17.411 --> 00:03:19.580
  • Well,
  • 00:03:19.580 --> 00:03:20.781
  • I'm not aware of any laws that have been broken in terms his.
  • 00:03:20.781 --> 00:03:23.717
  • If they have them,
  • 00:03:23.717 --> 00:03:24.752
  • They would immediately ship it up to the courts.
  • 00:03:24.752 --> 00:03:26.320
  • And that hasn't happened,
  • 00:03:26.320 --> 00:03:27.588
  • Because if things are not bad enough,
  • 00:03:28.389 --> 00:03:30.324
  • A group of congressional democrats
  • 00:03:30.324 --> 00:03:32.393
  • Just released a video telling our enlisted men
  • 00:03:32.393 --> 00:03:34.862
  • And women
  • 00:03:34.862 --> 00:03:36.063
  • That they have a duty to refuse orders from the president.
  • 00:03:36.063 --> 00:03:39.300
  • I would call it a democrat led insurrection.
  • 00:03:39.300 --> 00:03:42.336
  • Listen to these comments.
  • 00:03:42.336 --> 00:03:43.971
  • We want to speak directly to members of the military
  • 00:03:43.971 --> 00:03:46.273
  • And the intelligence community,
  • 00:03:46.273 --> 00:03:47.608
  • Who take risks each day to keep americans safe.
  • 00:03:47.608 --> 00:03:50.244
  • We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now.
  • 00:03:50.244 --> 00:03:53.480
  • Americans trust their military, but that trust is at risk.
  • 00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:56.750
  • This administration
  • 00:03:56.750 --> 00:03:57.885
  • Is pitting our uniformed military
  • 00:03:57.885 --> 00:03:59.887
  • And intelligence community professionals
  • 00:03:59.887 --> 00:04:01.755
  • Against american citizens like us.
  • 00:04:01.755 --> 00:04:04.158
  • You all swore an oath to protect and defend this constitution.
  • 00:04:04.158 --> 00:04:07.628
  • Right now, the threats to our constitution
  • 00:04:07.628 --> 00:04:10.064
  • Aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home.
  • 00:04:10.064 --> 00:04:12.533
  • Our laws are clear.
  • 00:04:12.533 --> 00:04:13.834
  • You can refuse illegal orders.
  • 00:04:13.834 --> 00:04:18.405
  • You must refuse illegal orders.
  • 00:04:16.337 --> 00:04:21.542
  • Scott, as you know, there are laws against insurrection.
  • 00:04:21.542 --> 00:04:24.478
  • Did you ever think you'd see something like this?
  • 00:04:24.478 --> 00:04:27.448
  • Well, as you can look from behind here, there's my jag
  • 00:04:27.448 --> 00:04:30.751
  • Crest.
  • 00:04:30.751 --> 00:04:31.852
  • I served in the military for almost 40 years, and i
  • 00:04:31.852 --> 00:04:34.588
  • Was a military attorney for, i think, 30 of those years
  • 00:04:34.588 --> 00:04:38.592
  • And last were at the pentagon
  • 00:04:38.592 --> 00:04:39.827
  • Advising one of the joint chiefs on the rules of engagement,
  • 00:04:39.827 --> 00:04:42.896
  • Law of war, and a whole host of other things.
  • 00:04:42.896 --> 00:04:45.065
  • And i can tell you firsthand that virtually every commander,
  • 00:04:45.065 --> 00:04:47.935
  • Especially on active duty, has a jag at their disposal.
  • 00:04:47.935 --> 00:04:50.971
  • If there's any order that comes down that they feel
  • 00:04:50.971 --> 00:04:53.240
  • Is not correct or needs clarification,
  • 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.442
  • They will within seconds, within minutes, get,
  • 00:04:55.442 --> 00:04:58.479
  • Guidance from their jag and usually that's what that's
  • 00:04:58.479 --> 00:05:01.882
  • What they rely on period.
  • 00:05:01.882 --> 00:05:03.617
  • So the thing that's interesting about that is maggie goodman,
  • 00:05:03.617 --> 00:05:06.420
  • Who's a new hampshire's, congres
  • 00:05:06.420 --> 00:05:10.724
  • Not only was i shocked to see her and
  • 00:05:11.525 --> 00:05:14.328
  • See that video as a whole, i was embarrassed for new hampshire.
  • 00:05:14.328 --> 00:05:17.865
  • We have one of the highest per capita amounts of veterans
  • 00:05:17.865 --> 00:05:20.501
  • And people that are served militarily in new hampshire.
  • 00:05:20.501 --> 00:05:23.203
  • The fact that she's telling people to disobey orders,
  • 00:05:23.203 --> 00:05:26.340
  • It is not only, like i said, shocking, but embarrassing
  • 00:05:26.340 --> 00:05:29.476
  • For us.
  • 00:05:29.476 --> 00:05:30.344
  • I believe that they should be censured.
  • 00:05:30.344 --> 00:05:32.813
  • That would be the most highest censure
  • 00:05:32.813 --> 00:05:35.315
  • That they have in congress, in the senate.
  • 00:05:35.315 --> 00:05:38.051
  • They should also lose
  • 00:05:38.051 --> 00:05:39.353
  • Their committee assignments or be expelled
  • 00:05:39.353 --> 00:05:41.789
  • Because, these things are, i believe, treasonous.
  • 00:05:41.789 --> 00:05:45.426
  • They rise to a level that i've never seen before.
  • 00:05:45.426 --> 00:05:48.562
  • And they said, oh, the military is under tremendous stress.
  • 00:05:48.562 --> 00:05:51.432
  • Yeah, because of people like you questioning the fact
  • 00:05:51.432 --> 00:05:54.501
  • That they should not be following orders.
  • 00:05:54.501 --> 00:05:57.304
  • And the stuff they've gone through under
  • 00:05:58.105 --> 00:05:59.873
  • The last four years in the biden administration with the
  • 00:05:59.873 --> 00:06:02.576
  • Not only the vaccines, but then you have the dea,
  • 00:06:02.576 --> 00:06:06.013
  • You know, wokeness and, you know, trans in the military.
  • 00:06:06.013 --> 00:06:08.916
  • Yeah, there's stress from that.
  • 00:06:08.916 --> 00:06:10.717
  • The enrollment and the
  • 00:06:10.717 --> 00:06:12.252
  • The signups are the highest they've ever been.
  • 00:06:12.252 --> 00:06:14.354
  • They're hitting all their numbers and more.
  • 00:06:14.354 --> 00:06:15.889
  • The military is doing great.
  • 00:06:15.889 --> 00:06:17.591
  • But when they hear crap like this, they
  • 00:06:17.591 --> 00:06:19.660
  • They just, like, shake their head.
  • 00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:21.495
  • And quite frankly,
  • 00:06:21.495 --> 00:06:22.529
  • I don't know who's going to believe these people.
  • 00:06:22.529 --> 00:06:24.264
  • I don't
  • 00:06:24.264 --> 00:06:25.499
  • You know, what's even worse about that
  • 00:06:25.499 --> 00:06:27.167
  • Video is that it's not as if the protesters
  • 00:06:27.167 --> 00:06:30.170
  • Who are already driving their cars into the ice,
  • 00:06:30.170 --> 00:06:32.372
  • Authorities are throwing rocks and shooting at them.
  • 00:06:32.372 --> 00:06:35.876
  • It's not like they need any further prompting,
  • 00:06:35.876 --> 00:06:37.878
  • But the media reports nothing about the drug dealers
  • 00:06:37.878 --> 00:06:40.747
  • Who've been caught, the rapists, the convicted criminals,
  • 00:06:40.747 --> 00:06:43.617
  • The other people who are here illegally.
  • 00:06:43.617 --> 00:06:46.220
  • You know, you're running for office again now.
  • 00:06:46.220 --> 00:06:47.721
  • Have you found any voters
  • 00:06:47.721 --> 00:06:48.989
  • Who want criminals to stay here and wander around freely?
  • 00:06:48.989 --> 00:06:52.459
  • Well, you know, sadly,
  • 00:06:52.926 --> 00:06:54.127
  • There are those people on the left that say,
  • 00:06:54.127 --> 00:06:56.630
  • Why are we doing this?
  • 00:06:56.630 --> 00:06:57.764
  • That they're
  • 00:06:57.764 --> 00:06:58.932
  • Law abiding citizens, that just trying to get away from
  • 00:06:58.932 --> 00:07:01.335
  • A bad country?
  • 00:07:01.335 --> 00:07:02.336
  • I said, yeah, but they're they're number one.
  • 00:07:02.336 --> 00:07:04.638
  • A lot of them that are in jail right now,
  • 00:07:04.638 --> 00:07:06.440
  • Not necessarily in new hampshire,
  • 00:07:06.440 --> 00:07:08.108
  • Because we've no sanctuary city state
  • 00:07:08.108 --> 00:07:10.677
  • And no sanctuary state or cities.
  • 00:07:10.677 --> 00:07:13.113
  • But, you know, massachusetts and surrounding
  • 00:07:13.113 --> 00:07:14.915
  • New england states, they're actually fighting
  • 00:07:14.915 --> 00:07:16.650
  • To keep these people in prison.
  • 00:07:16.650 --> 00:07:18.285
  • They have
  • 00:07:18.285 --> 00:07:19.286
  • They've been criminally charged, found guilty.
  • 00:07:19.286 --> 00:07:21.255
  • They had deportation orders, and they violated them.
  • 00:07:21.255 --> 00:07:24.024
  • And now we want to get rid of them when they're fighting
  • 00:07:24.024 --> 00:07:26.226
  • To keep them here.
  • 00:07:26.226 --> 00:07:27.194
  • That's completely upside down.
  • 00:07:27.194 --> 00:07:29.029
  • And yes, our law enforcement, folks are following the law.
  • 00:07:29.029 --> 00:07:32.466
  • I know people on those details
  • 00:07:32.466 --> 00:07:34.902
  • Who are trying to do the right thing
  • 00:07:34.902 --> 00:07:36.236
  • And get these criminal illegals out of here.
  • 00:07:36.236 --> 00:07:38.405
  • And, you listen,
  • 00:07:38.405 --> 00:07:39.640
  • If you follow the law, you have nothing to hide.
  • 00:07:39.640 --> 00:07:42.142
  • Will somebody maybe be, picked up inadvertently?
  • 00:07:42.142 --> 00:07:45.345
  • Yes. if that's the case, there are recourse for them.
  • 00:07:45.345 --> 00:07:49.316
  • I certainly hope not.
  • 00:07:49.316 --> 00:07:50.417
  • But they seem to be doing their homework.
  • 00:07:50.417 --> 00:07:51.985
  • They show up exactly knowing who they want to get.
  • 00:07:51.985 --> 00:07:55.489
  • And usually there are ancillary people there
  • 00:07:55.489 --> 00:07:57.591
  • Who are also here illegally and have broken the law.
  • 00:07:57.591 --> 00:08:00.360
  • And they will be, you know, basically deported.
  • 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:04.264
  • Do you think this trump
  • 00:08:04.765 --> 00:08:05.899
  • Derangement syndrome might lead to even worse violence?
  • 00:08:05.899 --> 00:08:09.036
  • And will any democrats stand up to say,
  • 00:08:09.036 --> 00:08:11.104
  • You all need to calm down and talk these things through
  • 00:08:11.104 --> 00:08:14.274
  • Instead of just getting more violent?
  • 00:08:14.274 --> 00:08:16.610
  • Well, it hasn't happened here in new hampshire, and i know
  • 00:08:16.610 --> 00:08:19.079
  • There's maybe 1 or 2 nationally that have called for that.
  • 00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.149
  • But when you have congresspeople trying to break through fences
  • 00:08:22.149 --> 00:08:25.519
  • And you know, hurt and hit
  • 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.721
  • And assault our law enforcement people,
  • 00:08:27.721 --> 00:08:29.690
  • They don't like the law, they should change the law.
  • 00:08:29.690 --> 00:08:32.059
  • These people are following the law.
  • 00:08:32.059 --> 00:08:33.694
  • And if not, then there would be lawsuit
  • 00:08:33.694 --> 00:08:36.663
  • After lawsuit without the lawsuit.
  • 00:08:36.663 --> 00:08:38.332
  • And even
  • 00:08:38.332 --> 00:08:39.533
  • When there's been lawsuits that usually has been overturned
  • 00:08:39.533 --> 00:08:41.535
  • Because they are following the law
  • 00:08:41.535 --> 00:08:43.403
  • And they have the right to do their job, and the fact that
  • 00:08:43.403 --> 00:08:46.573
  • I believe they
  • 00:08:46.573 --> 00:08:47.808
  • In qualified immunity to protect our law enforcement people.
  • 00:08:47.808 --> 00:08:50.577
  • I believe that people
  • 00:08:50.577 --> 00:08:51.712
  • We are a nation of laws and
  • 00:08:51.712 --> 00:08:53.880
  • And they should be able to do their job.
  • 00:08:53.880 --> 00:08:55.515
  • And i believe that joe biden screwed up
  • 00:08:55.515 --> 00:08:57.250
  • Big time by allowing all these people in here.
  • 00:08:57.250 --> 00:08:59.653
  • And because it hurts, the hurts our economy hurts
  • 00:08:59.653 --> 00:09:02.022
  • The people in the lower end of the economic scale
  • 00:09:02.022 --> 00:09:04.491
  • Who are trying to find work.
  • 00:09:04.491 --> 00:09:06.126
  • And you have people who are here
  • 00:09:06.126 --> 00:09:07.260
  • Illegally undercutting them so they can't find jobs.
  • 00:09:07.260 --> 00:09:10.030
  • There's a housing problem as a result of them
  • 00:09:10.030 --> 00:09:11.999
  • Getting housing, respectfully, that they're not entitled to.
  • 00:09:11.999 --> 00:09:15.068
  • So, i'm hoping that we can figure out a way
  • 00:09:15.068 --> 00:09:18.772
  • To kind of get along and to do our jobs,
  • 00:09:18.772 --> 00:09:21.408
  • But we'll see, because one of the reasons i'm running.
  • 00:09:21.408 --> 00:09:23.644
  • Well, scott brown, there's more to discuss.
  • 00:09:24.544 --> 00:09:26.346
  • Can you stay for another segment if you're not sure.
  • 00:09:26.346 --> 00:09:29.182
  • But we'll be right back.
  • 00:09:29.182 --> 00:09:36.996
  • But we'll be right back.
  • 00:09:36.996 --> 00:09:41.201
  • And we're back now
  • 00:09:41.635 --> 00:09:42.703
  • With former senator and ambassador scott brown.
  • 00:09:42.703 --> 00:09:45.973
  • With a week until thanksgiving,
  • 00:09:45.973 --> 00:09:47.574
  • There's some good economic news.
  • 00:09:47.574 --> 00:09:49.410
  • The price
  • 00:09:49.410 --> 00:09:50.010
  • For everything that goes
  • 00:09:50.010 --> 00:09:51.078
  • Into a traditional thanksgiving dinner has fallen.
  • 00:09:51.078 --> 00:09:53.781
  • Gas is well under $3 a gallon.
  • 00:09:53.781 --> 00:09:55.849
  • And there are a lot of early deals in the retail sector.
  • 00:09:55.849 --> 00:09:59.186
  • We learned today that 119,000 new jobs were added
  • 00:09:59.186 --> 00:10:02.856
  • In september.
  • 00:10:02.856 --> 00:10:04.425
  • All that hasn't stopped the democrats
  • 00:10:04.425 --> 00:10:06.260
  • From trying to argue that the economic sky is falling on us.
  • 00:10:06.260 --> 00:10:10.764
  • To which president trump has that answer.
  • 00:10:10.764 --> 00:10:14.068
  • The biden administration started the affordability
  • 00:10:14.068 --> 00:10:16.870
  • Crisis, and my administration is ending it.
  • 00:10:16.870 --> 00:10:20.340
  • I'm ending it. prices are way down.
  • 00:10:20.340 --> 00:10:22.076
  • Last month, it was announced we produced more oil and gas
  • 00:10:22.076 --> 00:10:26.113
  • Than any time in the history of our country by far.
  • 00:10:26.113 --> 00:10:29.516
  • And when you do that, everything comes down.
  • 00:10:29.516 --> 00:10:32.152
  • Well, that's all true, but 60% of the country still believes
  • 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:36.390
  • Their financial situation is only fair or poor.
  • 00:10:36.390 --> 00:10:40.394
  • And it was like most elections, the midterms could turn on
  • 00:10:40.394 --> 00:10:43.363
  • How much the economy improves between now and next fall.
  • 00:10:43.363 --> 00:10:47.034
  • How do you see it playing out even in your own campaign?
  • 00:10:47.034 --> 00:10:50.704
  • Well, affordability is important.
  • 00:10:50.704 --> 00:10:52.706
  • Absolutely important.
  • 00:10:52.706 --> 00:10:53.607
  • It's something that i speak
  • 00:10:53.607 --> 00:10:54.875
  • With people about, and i'm actually living myself.
  • 00:10:54.875 --> 00:10:58.145
  • You know, we all try to,
  • 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:00.080
  • You know, do our very best to make the dollars stretch.
  • 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.816
  • Fortunately, here, we have, like a sam's club.
  • 00:11:02.816 --> 00:11:06.553
  • It's called bj's with my bj's card.
  • 00:11:06.553 --> 00:11:09.056
  • Paid 238 for a gallon of gas at market basket down the street.
  • 00:11:09.056 --> 00:11:13.293
  • $4 for two dozen eggs.
  • 00:11:13.293 --> 00:11:15.896
  • There are certain things that are coming down,
  • 00:11:15.896 --> 00:11:17.564
  • And you have to be a frugal, you know, good shopper like i am.
  • 00:11:17.564 --> 00:11:20.634
  • And, that being said, we need to reduce, beef costs.
  • 00:11:20.634 --> 00:11:24.872
  • I know the president's making some efforts in that regard.
  • 00:11:24.872 --> 00:11:27.274
  • I think we should do more local beef.
  • 00:11:27.274 --> 00:11:30.244
  • And he's lowering tariffs on goods
  • 00:11:30.244 --> 00:11:31.845
  • That we just don't produce.
  • 00:11:31.845 --> 00:11:32.846
  • I think that's a good start as well.
  • 00:11:32.846 --> 00:11:34.648
  • But don't forget, he's right.
  • 00:11:34.648 --> 00:11:36.383
  • The inflation was out of control.
  • 00:11:36.383 --> 00:11:38.118
  • Gas prices were five, six, $7 a gallon.
  • 00:11:38.118 --> 00:11:41.054
  • Eggs were, out of sight.
  • 00:11:41.054 --> 00:11:42.823
  • There's so many things negative
  • 00:11:42.823 --> 00:11:44.324
  • That were happening under the previous administration.
  • 00:11:44.324 --> 00:11:46.260
  • The president has been doing it since january.
  • 00:11:46.260 --> 00:11:48.996
  • You know, give the guy a break. it's going to take hold.
  • 00:11:48.996 --> 00:11:51.565
  • You see, the stock market, all the recent earnings reports,
  • 00:11:51.565 --> 00:11:54.535
  • The job numbers, as you indicated, are up.
  • 00:11:54.535 --> 00:11:58.038
  • But, you know, obviously people are hurting
  • 00:11:58.038 --> 00:12:00.374
  • As a result of the government shutdown.
  • 00:12:00.374 --> 00:12:02.009
  • Some people are getting food, you know,
  • 00:12:02.009 --> 00:12:04.344
  • They're not getting their checks.
  • 00:12:04.344 --> 00:12:05.546
  • Yeah. there's and quite frankly,
  • 00:12:05.546 --> 00:12:07.581
  • I blame congress for a lot of that.
  • 00:12:07.581 --> 00:12:09.616
  • The democrats.
  • 00:12:09.616 --> 00:12:10.651
  • They 15 times they had to open up the government.
  • 00:12:10.651 --> 00:12:13.654
  • Finally they did.
  • 00:12:13.654 --> 00:12:15.055
  • And they didn't care about people's, you know, pace
  • 00:12:15.055 --> 00:12:17.558
  • They or their their food benefits or their anything else.
  • 00:12:17.558 --> 00:12:21.228
  • And so shame on them.
  • 00:12:21.228 --> 00:12:22.663
  • And i'm hopeful that people will be a little patient.
  • 00:12:22.663 --> 00:12:25.032
  • I hope they have great thanksgivings and and holidays.
  • 00:12:25.032 --> 00:12:28.035
  • And obviously there's so many places like
  • 00:12:28.035 --> 00:12:31.405
  • Where you're the pastor and others that are there
  • 00:12:31.405 --> 00:12:33.907
  • As a safety net and a helping hand.
  • 00:12:33.907 --> 00:12:36.777
  • When you're having difficulties, don't do anything stupid.
  • 00:12:36.777 --> 00:12:39.246
  • Don't steal, don't, you know, don't don't make bad decisions.
  • 00:12:39.246 --> 00:12:42.416
  • But, you know, reach out to your fellow,
  • 00:12:42.416 --> 00:12:44.184
  • Your neighbors and friends and,
  • 00:12:44.184 --> 00:12:45.786
  • You know, do things a little bit differently. maybe this year
  • 00:12:45.786 --> 00:12:48.388
  • Will if you will put on your ambassador had for a moment.
  • 00:12:49.523 --> 00:12:52.226
  • I want to ask you about some of
  • 00:12:52.226 --> 00:12:53.493
  • The current foreign policy issues.
  • 00:12:53.493 --> 00:12:55.796
  • We know how many wars the president has settled
  • 00:12:55.796 --> 00:12:58.065
  • And that he's working on russia and ukraine now.
  • 00:12:58.065 --> 00:13:00.901
  • But i wonder if that success will have any effect
  • 00:13:00.901 --> 00:13:03.237
  • On the congressional races next year, since
  • 00:13:03.237 --> 00:13:05.606
  • There are no american troops currently fighting overseas.
  • 00:13:05.606 --> 00:13:08.742
  • Well, that's it's a peace through strength.
  • 00:13:09.676 --> 00:13:11.745
  • I mean, he has ended wars and he's done
  • 00:13:11.745 --> 00:13:13.614
  • That by using economics instead of bullets.
  • 00:13:13.614 --> 00:13:16.617
  • When you see the saudis giving us $1 trillion of investment
  • 00:13:16.617 --> 00:13:20.020
  • And we have a better relationship
  • 00:13:20.020 --> 00:13:21.955
  • Trying to get them in the abrams accords
  • 00:13:21.955 --> 00:13:24.024
  • And to try to have them be the world leader
  • 00:13:24.024 --> 00:13:25.759
  • Instead of iran in that part of the world
  • 00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:28.295
  • Is important so that peace through strength
  • 00:13:28.295 --> 00:13:30.264
  • And economic strength is critically important.
  • 00:13:30.264 --> 00:13:32.266
  • I think it's brilliant how he's working that,
  • 00:13:32.266 --> 00:13:34.968
  • Because instead of fighting there, they're saying,
  • 00:13:34.968 --> 00:13:37.170
  • Okay, let's how about a trade deal?
  • 00:13:37.170 --> 00:13:38.739
  • How about you do this and do that? we'll buy this.
  • 00:13:38.739 --> 00:13:40.607
  • You buy that.
  • 00:13:40.607 --> 00:13:41.541
  • How about you guys buy this and you buy that.
  • 00:13:41.541 --> 00:13:43.143
  • That and that work.
  • 00:13:43.143 --> 00:13:44.077
  • So that's and i think it's a good thing
  • 00:13:44.077 --> 00:13:45.946
  • That we're not fighting anywhere.
  • 00:13:45.946 --> 00:13:47.681
  • And i think it's a good thing
  • 00:13:47.681 --> 00:13:48.815
  • That he's trying to get, you know, the israel hamas,
  • 00:13:48.815 --> 00:13:52.019
  • Which is really israel, iran, and its proxies,
  • 00:13:52.019 --> 00:13:55.789
  • Settled and make that region safer.
  • 00:13:56.556 --> 00:13:58.892
  • I'm glad that the other countries
  • 00:13:58.892 --> 00:14:00.427
  • Are getting involved in that regard. and ukraine.
  • 00:14:00.427 --> 00:14:02.696
  • Now, listen,
  • 00:14:02.696 --> 00:14:03.630
  • He needs to put those draconian sanctions
  • 00:14:03.630 --> 00:14:04.865
  • On putin immediately,
  • 00:14:04.865 --> 00:14:06.099
  • And he needs to keep the tariffs even higher on the countries
  • 00:14:06.099 --> 00:14:08.602
  • That are buying that underground oil,
  • 00:14:08.602 --> 00:14:10.704
  • That black market oil, to shut up the spigot to russia.
  • 00:14:10.704 --> 00:14:13.607
  • Then you have a whole different situation happening there.
  • 00:14:13.607 --> 00:14:17.377
  • I have a question regarding the president's mission
  • 00:14:17.377 --> 00:14:19.813
  • To stop the continued slaughter of christians in nigeria.
  • 00:14:19.813 --> 00:14:23.517
  • I mean, boko haram, another radical islamic group,
  • 00:14:23.517 --> 00:14:26.253
  • Has been carrying out a genocide and intentional destruction
  • 00:14:26.253 --> 00:14:29.489
  • Of a whole people group.
  • 00:14:30.023 --> 00:14:31.191
  • But the media seems far more determined
  • 00:14:31.191 --> 00:14:32.960
  • To talk about epstein than to give the president
  • 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:35.128
  • Any credit for saving thousands of lives.
  • 00:14:35.128 --> 00:14:38.966
  • Is there just no end to their shame and determination?
  • 00:14:38.966 --> 00:14:43.170
  • Well, i remember when i was a senator, boko haram was real.
  • 00:14:43.170 --> 00:14:45.706
  • I remember,
  • 00:14:45.706 --> 00:14:46.940
  • You know, we were making efforts to name them a terrorist group
  • 00:14:46.940 --> 00:14:49.176
  • And try to stop that.
  • 00:14:49.176 --> 00:14:50.377
  • It's continuing to go on.
  • 00:14:50.377 --> 00:14:52.245
  • And the president,
  • 00:14:52.245 --> 00:14:53.447
  • The president trump designated them a country of concern.
  • 00:14:53.447 --> 00:14:57.050
  • And then biden reversed that.
  • 00:14:57.050 --> 00:14:58.752
  • And now the president's actually done it again.
  • 00:14:58.752 --> 00:15:00.954
  • I think i'm using the right terminology.
  • 00:15:00.954 --> 00:15:02.756
  • But yet his efforts and recent efforts
  • 00:15:02.756 --> 00:15:05.092
  • By celebrities to come out
  • 00:15:05.092 --> 00:15:06.326
  • And talk about their faith is important.
  • 00:15:06.326 --> 00:15:08.462
  • But, he's having apparently direct contact
  • 00:15:08.462 --> 00:15:11.164
  • With the leader of that country and telling them, like,
  • 00:15:11.164 --> 00:15:14.668
  • You better stop it, or else.
  • 00:15:14.668 --> 00:15:16.403
  • But there's so many different factions
  • 00:15:16.403 --> 00:15:17.938
  • And groups who are just, you know, muslim haters
  • 00:15:17.938 --> 00:15:20.307
  • And they want to wipe christianity off the continent.
  • 00:15:20.307 --> 00:15:22.943
  • And off the world. right.
  • 00:15:22.943 --> 00:15:24.044
  • And the world continents, quite frankly.
  • 00:15:24.044 --> 00:15:26.179
  • And, you know, we need to,
  • 00:15:26.179 --> 00:15:27.547
  • You know, obviously be vigilant and diligent and be supportive.
  • 00:15:27.547 --> 00:15:30.984
  • And i'm hopeful that he succeeds in that regard.
  • 00:15:30.984 --> 00:15:33.920
  • Amen.
  • 00:15:33.920 --> 00:15:35.155
  • Well, scott brown, thank you for joining us again tonight.
  • 00:15:35.155 --> 00:15:37.557
  • I'm sure we'll see you again soon.
  • 00:15:37.557 --> 00:15:39.760
  • Enjoy the time with your family next week.
  • 00:15:39.760 --> 00:15:42.429
  • You everybody happy thanksgiving.
  • 00:15:42.429 --> 00:15:43.797
  • You go to scott brown.com and help.
  • 00:15:43.797 --> 00:15:45.565
  • And god bless you and god bless america.
  • 00:15:45.565 --> 00:15:48.235
  • Well, in a moment, the hope that lives around us every day.
  • 00:15:48.235 --> 00:15:51.671
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:15:51.671 --> 00:15:59.001
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:15:59.001 --> 00:16:02.522
  • One of the characteristics of this present season
  • 00:16:03.489 --> 00:16:06.225
  • Is a dramatic increase in lawlessness.
  • 00:16:06.225 --> 00:16:08.895
  • It's as if we have been unchecked for so long that now
  • 00:16:08.895 --> 00:16:12.732
  • We're just unwilling to submit to the rule of law again.
  • 00:16:12.732 --> 00:16:16.002
  • We have politicians telling our soldiers
  • 00:16:16.002 --> 00:16:18.538
  • They have a duty to refuse orders from the president.
  • 00:16:18.538 --> 00:16:22.108
  • We have major american cities, sanctuary cities
  • 00:16:22.108 --> 00:16:24.644
  • That refuse to enforce federal laws while they so much
  • 00:16:24.644 --> 00:16:27.713
  • Simultaneously demand federal funding.
  • 00:16:27.713 --> 00:16:31.084
  • We literally have mayors, governors, congressmen,
  • 00:16:31.084 --> 00:16:33.553
  • And senators, elected officials that are speaking out against
  • 00:16:33.553 --> 00:16:37.657
  • Law and order. it's absurd.
  • 00:16:37.657 --> 00:16:41.327
  • Well, now consider this 42 muslims were elected to public
  • 00:16:41.327 --> 00:16:45.164
  • Office across the united states in the recent election.
  • 00:16:45.164 --> 00:16:48.568
  • This group spans at least nine states and marks
  • 00:16:48.568 --> 00:16:51.237
  • The largest member
  • 00:16:51.237 --> 00:16:52.572
  • Number of muslim victories in american political history.
  • 00:16:52.572 --> 00:16:56.976
  • You know,
  • 00:16:57.276 --> 00:16:58.377
  • I think the election of muslim leaders and leaders
  • 00:16:58.377 --> 00:16:59.345
  • Who openly campaigned on a platform
  • 00:16:59.345 --> 00:17:01.147
  • That is contrary to christian values
  • 00:17:01.147 --> 00:17:03.349
  • Should be a very loud wake up call.
  • 00:17:03.349 --> 00:17:05.985
  • The amount of the opinion that an election is
  • 00:17:05.985 --> 00:17:08.020
  • Like when you go to the doctor for a physical
  • 00:17:08.020 --> 00:17:09.856
  • And they do your blood work and they come back and say
  • 00:17:09.856 --> 00:17:12.325
  • Your cholesterol is a bit high or your glucose is too high,
  • 00:17:12.325 --> 00:17:15.928
  • The blood work is just an indicator of your health.
  • 00:17:15.928 --> 00:17:19.165
  • Well, i'm of the opinion
  • 00:17:19.165 --> 00:17:20.333
  • That an election is an indicator of our spiritual health.
  • 00:17:20.333 --> 00:17:23.803
  • I think what we're finding out is that we're not as healthy
  • 00:17:23.803 --> 00:17:26.205
  • As we wanted to believe we were.
  • 00:17:26.205 --> 00:17:28.307
  • Now, for clarity sake,
  • 00:17:28.307 --> 00:17:29.942
  • Moslems have every right to run for office
  • 00:17:29.942 --> 00:17:31.811
  • And to be chosen for those offices.
  • 00:17:31.811 --> 00:17:33.412
  • But i believe those of us
  • 00:17:33.412 --> 00:17:34.480
  • Who have a biblical worldview, a christian worldview,
  • 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:37.150
  • Should understand that
  • 00:17:37.150 --> 00:17:38.184
  • We have invited a spirit that opposes the spirit
  • 00:17:38.184 --> 00:17:41.254
  • Of our lord into authority over our lives.
  • 00:17:41.254 --> 00:17:44.757
  • We should not imagine that's going to have a good outcome.
  • 00:17:44.757 --> 00:17:47.960
  • If you've read the ten
  • 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:49.162
  • Commandments, we just violated the beginning of that list.
  • 00:17:49.162 --> 00:17:52.565
  • We certainly have the freedom to choose our leaders,
  • 00:17:52.565 --> 00:17:54.767
  • But with them comes a spirit
  • 00:17:54.767 --> 00:17:56.435
  • That we're giving authority over our lives.
  • 00:17:56.435 --> 00:17:58.804
  • That should cause all of us
  • 00:17:58.804 --> 00:18:00.173
  • To pray and consider the outcomes of our elections.
  • 00:18:00.173 --> 00:18:03.709
  • If we'll choose the lord.
  • 00:18:03.709 --> 00:18:05.211
  • It'll bring hope to all of us.
  • 00:18:05.211 --> 00:18:07.346
  • I'll be back with your
  • 00:18:07.813 --> 00:18:09.048
  • Emails in just a moment.
  • 00:18:09.048 --> 00:18:17.001
  • Emails in just a moment.
  • 00:18:17.001 --> 00:18:21.134
  • Thank you for spending a few minutes of your day with us.
  • 00:18:22.268 --> 00:18:24.871
  • Just a reminder, if you ever miss a live
  • 00:18:24.871 --> 00:18:26.606
  • Broadcast, you can always go to aj.
  • 00:18:26.606 --> 00:18:29.042
  • Now, dot com.
  • 00:18:29.042 --> 00:18:30.176
  • There is a full archive there of all of our programs.
  • 00:18:30.176 --> 00:18:32.946
  • You can watch them
  • 00:18:32.946 --> 00:18:33.880
  • At your leisure as many times as you want.
  • 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:35.582
  • You can even share them with a friend.
  • 00:18:35.582 --> 00:18:37.717
  • Your emails are always a highlight.
  • 00:18:37.717 --> 00:18:40.019
  • Leona from roswell, georgia writes.
  • 00:18:40.019 --> 00:18:42.822
  • Jesus tells us to forgive others and not to hate.
  • 00:18:42.822 --> 00:18:45.558
  • I try, but how do i forgive atrocities
  • 00:18:45.558 --> 00:18:48.561
  • Such as what islam is committed against the jews and christians
  • 00:18:48.561 --> 00:18:51.731
  • In gaza, nigeria and other places?
  • 00:18:51.731 --> 00:18:55.268
  • Well, leona, this was pretty simple.
  • 00:18:55.268 --> 00:18:57.136
  • We simply don't have an option if we're going to be forgiven.
  • 00:18:57.136 --> 00:19:00.206
  • We have to forgive.
  • 00:19:00.206 --> 00:19:01.975
  • Forgiveness begins as a decision of our will is not an emotion.
  • 00:19:01.975 --> 00:19:04.844
  • It's not about a feeling.
  • 00:19:04.844 --> 00:19:06.012
  • It's a choice that we make our feelings will catch up.
  • 00:19:06.012 --> 00:19:09.782
  • I think it's important to remember that
  • 00:19:09.782 --> 00:19:11.217
  • Forgiveness is not approval or acceptance.
  • 00:19:11.217 --> 00:19:14.254
  • We're simply saying we're going to cancel
  • 00:19:14.254 --> 00:19:16.289
  • The sense of indebtedness.
  • 00:19:16.289 --> 00:19:17.523
  • The marker i was holding
  • 00:19:17.523 --> 00:19:18.725
  • Until you apologize or change or repent.
  • 00:19:18.725 --> 00:19:22.362
  • We're not doing that when we forgive.
  • 00:19:22.362 --> 00:19:24.330
  • What we really do is relinquish people into the hands of god.
  • 00:19:24.330 --> 00:19:27.934
  • God is a just god,
  • 00:19:28.368 --> 00:19:29.636
  • And we don't have to carry the anger
  • 00:19:29.636 --> 00:19:31.137
  • And resentment and bitterness and hatred.
  • 00:19:31.137 --> 00:19:33.072
  • If we will forgive and tear up that marker, we can trust
  • 00:19:33.072 --> 00:19:36.042
  • That god will bring justice to the earth.
  • 00:19:36.042 --> 00:19:39.212
  • He's capable of that.
  • 00:19:39.212 --> 00:19:41.481
  • Nancy commented on the
  • 00:19:41.948 --> 00:19:43.082
  • Youtube episode with hans von spakovsky.
  • 00:19:43.082 --> 00:19:46.252
  • She said, great video on law in this nation.
  • 00:19:46.252 --> 00:19:49.822
  • I'm still learning all of the things
  • 00:19:49.822 --> 00:19:51.224
  • We should have but didn't learn in school.
  • 00:19:51.224 --> 00:19:54.327
  • I worry about our children and how their lack of knowledge
  • 00:19:54.327 --> 00:19:56.629
  • Is going to hurt them and this nation in the future.
  • 00:19:56.629 --> 00:19:59.132
  • God, please open their eyes and ears to hear your message.
  • 00:19:59.132 --> 00:20:02.902
  • Well, nancy, i think we've got to do our part
  • 00:20:02.902 --> 00:20:04.771
  • To help the generations coming behind us
  • 00:20:04.771 --> 00:20:06.873
  • Learn some of those basic principles.
  • 00:20:06.873 --> 00:20:09.242
  • I suspect you're like i was.
  • 00:20:09.242 --> 00:20:10.643
  • I didn't always take school as seriously as i might have,
  • 00:20:10.643 --> 00:20:13.713
  • But there were voices around me
  • 00:20:13.713 --> 00:20:15.048
  • That have always encouraged me to continue to learn.
  • 00:20:15.048 --> 00:20:18.151
  • Some have even supplied me with good books
  • 00:20:18.151 --> 00:20:20.186
  • Or pointed me towards videos or things that would help me.
  • 00:20:20.186 --> 00:20:23.389
  • You and i can take that role.
  • 00:20:23.389 --> 00:20:25.124
  • Let's not rage against the darkness.
  • 00:20:25.124 --> 00:20:26.659
  • Let's keep turning up the light.
  • 00:20:26.659 --> 00:20:28.261
  • We'll do that. there's reasons for hope.
  • 00:20:28.261 --> 00:20:30.730
  • Thank you for spending a few minutes with us
  • 00:20:30.730 --> 00:20:32.532
  • That i pray you have a wonderful evening.
  • 00:20:32.532 --> 00:20:32.532
