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
