Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Divided America | Allen Jackson Now | March 21, 2025
  • Good evening.
  • 00:00:17.798 --> 00:00:18.799
  • I'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:00:18.799 --> 00:00:21.068
  • It's been many years since nine over 11.
  • 00:00:21.068 --> 00:00:23.404
  • There's a stunning new tower in lower manhattan
  • 00:00:23.404 --> 00:00:25.873
  • Where the twin towers once stood.
  • 00:00:25.873 --> 00:00:27.975
  • The pentagon has long since been repaired.
  • 00:00:27.975 --> 00:00:30.644
  • Once a year, we honor 2977 people who were killed
  • 00:00:30.644 --> 00:00:34.815
  • By the terrorists that day.
  • 00:00:34.815 --> 00:00:36.684
  • And at the annual september service,
  • 00:00:36.684 --> 00:00:38.452
  • We see those who were left behind the parents,
  • 00:00:38.452 --> 00:00:41.222
  • The spouses, the children, brothers and sisters,
  • 00:00:41.222 --> 00:00:44.225
  • 30,000 of them still living with that sudden and terrible loss.
  • 00:00:44.225 --> 00:00:48.796
  • Yet here we are, decades later, with protesters
  • 00:00:48.796 --> 00:00:51.599
  • Across the country
  • 00:00:51.599 --> 00:00:52.833
  • Trying to argue that known terrorist and gang
  • 00:00:52.833 --> 00:00:55.569
  • Members should not be thrown out of our country.
  • 00:00:55.569 --> 00:00:58.639
  • Even a u.s.
  • 00:00:58.639 --> 00:00:59.607
  • District judge tried to stop the deportations.
  • 00:00:59.607 --> 00:01:02.309
  • Well, president
  • 00:01:02.309 --> 00:01:03.511
  • Trump knows that it's his job to keep the country safe.
  • 00:01:03.511 --> 00:01:05.846
  • Yet a single judge
  • 00:01:05.846 --> 00:01:06.981
  • And thousands of protesters think they know better.
  • 00:01:06.981 --> 00:01:10.351
  • Well, joining us for this important
  • 00:01:10.351 --> 00:01:11.585
  • Discussion is the editor in chief of the breitbart news,
  • 00:01:11.585 --> 00:01:14.522
  • Alex marlow. welcome back alex.
  • 00:01:14.522 --> 00:01:17.558
  • Hi, pastor.
  • 00:01:17.892 --> 00:01:18.392
  • Great to see you.
  • 00:01:18.392 --> 00:01:19.527
  • One of the cable channels had some predictable headlines
  • 00:01:19.527 --> 00:01:22.062
  • On the screen.
  • 00:01:22.062 --> 00:01:23.297
  • Courts face off with trump over deportation of illegal aliens,
  • 00:01:23.297 --> 00:01:27.034
  • And white house denies judge's order to stop deportation.
  • 00:01:27.034 --> 00:01:30.604
  • Well, my headline is evil is at hand.
  • 00:01:31.405 --> 00:01:34.275
  • They hate trump so much
  • 00:01:34.275 --> 00:01:35.376
  • That they're trying to make the case
  • 00:01:35.376 --> 00:01:36.710
  • That we should keep the enemy here
  • 00:01:36.710 --> 00:01:38.913
  • On our city streets and in our neighborhoods.
  • 00:01:38.913 --> 00:01:41.916
  • Now there's an effort
  • 00:01:41.916 --> 00:01:42.917
  • To try to impeach that judge for what he did.
  • 00:01:42.917 --> 00:01:45.186
  • I know you've just spoken to the president recently.
  • 00:01:45.186 --> 00:01:47.688
  • What does he think about what's happening?
  • 00:01:47.688 --> 00:01:50.724
  • Yeah. thank you.
  • 00:01:50.724 --> 00:01:51.659
  • I think there's two issues here at play.
  • 00:01:51.659 --> 00:01:53.928
  • I think there's one that's the messaging issue.
  • 00:01:53.928 --> 00:01:56.463
  • And the messaging one clearly favors
  • 00:01:56.463 --> 00:01:58.699
  • The president and people who support the president,
  • 00:01:58.699 --> 00:02:01.368
  • Because the left is once again
  • 00:02:01.368 --> 00:02:03.304
  • Gotten themselves into one of these positions
  • 00:02:03.304 --> 00:02:05.839
  • Where it's not just an 8020 issue.
  • 00:02:05.839 --> 00:02:08.042
  • This is what the president trump told me was a 95 issue.
  • 00:02:08.042 --> 00:02:11.612
  • He said there's a 95, 95 five issue
  • 00:02:11.612 --> 00:02:15.115
  • Where 95% of the country thinks a certain way,
  • 00:02:15.115 --> 00:02:17.885
  • 5% thinks the other way,
  • 00:02:17.885 --> 00:02:19.553
  • And he doesn't know who anyone in the 5% is.
  • 00:02:19.553 --> 00:02:22.189
  • Everyone in the country with a brain knows
  • 00:02:22.189 --> 00:02:23.924
  • We need to get these people out. they have no right to be here.
  • 00:02:23.924 --> 00:02:26.026
  • They shouldn't be here.
  • 00:02:26.026 --> 00:02:27.127
  • And it's a fool's errand to try to stop
  • 00:02:27.127 --> 00:02:28.896
  • President trump from deporting them.
  • 00:02:28.896 --> 00:02:30.364
  • These are criminals, all of them.
  • 00:02:30.364 --> 00:02:31.865
  • And it's one of those things where every person in a vacuum
  • 00:02:31.865 --> 00:02:35.135
  • In private would admit you they agree with this.
  • 00:02:35.135 --> 00:02:37.538
  • So optically, of course, you're going to win.
  • 00:02:37.538 --> 00:02:39.540
  • But the question is, can we literally get them to leave?
  • 00:02:39.540 --> 00:02:43.410
  • And if these judges, for whatever reason, feel
  • 00:02:43.410 --> 00:02:45.546
  • Like they're going to single handedly
  • 00:02:45.546 --> 00:02:47.348
  • Try to block executive actions, it is more complicated
  • 00:02:47.348 --> 00:02:51.185
  • How to oppose them.
  • 00:02:51.185 --> 00:02:52.052
  • And you can see,
  • 00:02:52.052 --> 00:02:53.120
  • While i was there with the president and his team,
  • 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.089
  • They are still working on their strategy
  • 00:02:55.089 --> 00:02:57.024
  • To try to stop them.
  • 00:02:57.024 --> 00:02:58.058
  • You can see it working out in real time right now
  • 00:02:58.058 --> 00:03:00.261
  • With stephen miller, who's the president's top policy advisor.
  • 00:03:00.261 --> 00:03:03.364
  • I his twitter account or his account.
  • 00:03:03.364 --> 00:03:05.466
  • He keeps posting various, i think, messaging,
  • 00:03:05.466 --> 00:03:09.970
  • The plays that they've got going that they're trying
  • 00:03:09.970 --> 00:03:12.306
  • To test drive for the public.
  • 00:03:12.306 --> 00:03:14.441
  • But i think standing up to these judges is more complicated
  • 00:03:14.441 --> 00:03:18.479
  • Than it seems.
  • 00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:19.580
  • Well, i want to ask you about the protesters,
  • 00:03:20.481 --> 00:03:22.816
  • The ones who are now burning
  • 00:03:22.816 --> 00:03:23.917
  • Tesla cars and the group that took over
  • 00:03:23.917 --> 00:03:25.653
  • The lobby of the trump tower.
  • 00:03:25.653 --> 00:03:27.454
  • They were waving their pro hamas flags and shouting about
  • 00:03:27.454 --> 00:03:30.791
  • How they wanted an anti-israeli protest organizer to be freed.
  • 00:03:30.791 --> 00:03:34.895
  • Well, a year ago, i saw the video evidence of what
  • 00:03:34.895 --> 00:03:37.264
  • Hamas did to the jews they captured near gaza.
  • 00:03:37.264 --> 00:03:40.301
  • Is that what these protesters want to have happen here?
  • 00:03:40.301 --> 00:03:44.338
  • Yeah, it's hard to know.
  • 00:03:44.872 --> 00:03:45.773
  • These people are so lost.
  • 00:03:45.773 --> 00:03:47.074
  • These are the exact same people who bought teslas in 2022
  • 00:03:47.074 --> 00:03:52.513
  • Because they wanted to stick it to the republicans,
  • 00:03:52.513 --> 00:03:54.648
  • And now they're
  • 00:03:54.648 --> 00:03:55.582
  • Burning their own teslas into facing them
  • 00:03:55.582 --> 00:03:57.951
  • Because they want to stick it to the republicans.
  • 00:03:57.951 --> 00:03:59.687
  • I mean, these are people who are not a clear thinker.
  • 00:03:59.687 --> 00:04:02.523
  • So i don't really know what they're up to other
  • 00:04:02.523 --> 00:04:05.359
  • Than just acting in a blind rage.
  • 00:04:05.359 --> 00:04:07.361
  • But all this is vandalism.
  • 00:04:07.361 --> 00:04:09.296
  • Some of it's terrorism, i'm sure.
  • 00:04:09.296 --> 00:04:10.931
  • Some of it is funded by
  • 00:04:10.931 --> 00:04:12.132
  • The institutional left and parts of their establishment
  • 00:04:12.132 --> 00:04:15.569
  • That would like to sow chaos within this country.
  • 00:04:15.569 --> 00:04:18.339
  • But they do seem very lost.
  • 00:04:18.339 --> 00:04:20.140
  • And so you don't know when a lost group of people
  • 00:04:20.140 --> 00:04:22.376
  • Who are acting very desperate, how they'll behave.
  • 00:04:22.376 --> 00:04:25.145
  • You seen this rash, this rash of swatting,
  • 00:04:25.145 --> 00:04:27.815
  • Where they're calling the police to conservative
  • 00:04:27.815 --> 00:04:30.284
  • Opinion makers houses in the middle of the night.
  • 00:04:30.284 --> 00:04:33.387
  • Some of them.
  • 00:04:33.387 --> 00:04:34.321
  • Sometimes the police have their guns drawn.
  • 00:04:34.321 --> 00:04:35.456
  • They don't know what's going on
  • 00:04:35.456 --> 00:04:36.724
  • Because they were told a certain thing
  • 00:04:36.724 --> 00:04:38.525
  • When the complaints were called in.
  • 00:04:38.525 --> 00:04:40.661
  • All this is very scary and it is violent.
  • 00:04:40.661 --> 00:04:43.263
  • So just remember, when they've accused us of violence,
  • 00:04:43.263 --> 00:04:46.033
  • We're not the violent ones. they're the violent ones.
  • 00:04:46.033 --> 00:04:48.268
  • And they have been for a long time.
  • 00:04:48.268 --> 00:04:49.937
  • Alex, you had a headline up on your site
  • 00:04:50.771 --> 00:04:52.740
  • That said eight time deported kidnaper removed by ice
  • 00:04:52.740 --> 00:04:55.809
  • To mexico
  • 00:04:55.809 --> 00:04:57.211
  • Eight times, and he still found his way
  • 00:04:57.211 --> 00:04:59.012
  • Back to the united states.
  • 00:04:59.012 --> 00:05:00.714
  • Is this what the biden administration
  • 00:05:00.714 --> 00:05:02.216
  • Left behind for tom homan and kristi noem to have to clean up?
  • 00:05:02.216 --> 00:05:05.586
  • Yeah, they really did.
  • 00:05:06.053 --> 00:05:07.354
  • And we think the number
  • 00:05:07.354 --> 00:05:08.522
  • Might be something like 15 million came in under biden,
  • 00:05:08.522 --> 00:05:11.625
  • Which is just amazing that
  • 00:05:11.625 --> 00:05:13.594
  • That's what they wanted for this country.
  • 00:05:13.594 --> 00:05:15.062
  • And it's something that needs to be.
  • 00:05:15.062 --> 00:05:17.664
  • People need to be reminded of this
  • 00:05:17.664 --> 00:05:19.099
  • Because if you're a reader of breitbart,
  • 00:05:19.099 --> 00:05:20.401
  • You've been reading headlines like this for 12, 13 years.
  • 00:05:20.401 --> 00:05:23.270
  • We've been posting these types of things,
  • 00:05:23.270 --> 00:05:24.972
  • And i don't want people to numb to it.
  • 00:05:24.972 --> 00:05:26.874
  • I want people to understand how not a single one of these
  • 00:05:26.874 --> 00:05:30.043
  • Should be acceptable.
  • 00:05:30.043 --> 00:05:30.844
  • Every single incident of a
  • 00:05:30.844 --> 00:05:33.514
  • A career criminal, a serial criminal
  • 00:05:33.514 --> 00:05:35.783
  • Being allowed to reenter the country is a outrage.
  • 00:05:35.783 --> 00:05:38.685
  • This is how people die.
  • 00:05:38.685 --> 00:05:39.853
  • This is how communities get ruined.
  • 00:05:39.853 --> 00:05:41.255
  • This is how eventually our country would get ruined
  • 00:05:41.255 --> 00:05:43.190
  • If we allow for it to continue.
  • 00:05:43.190 --> 00:05:44.792
  • Which is why it's so important
  • 00:05:44.792 --> 00:05:45.726
  • We do all the deportations we can,
  • 00:05:45.726 --> 00:05:47.461
  • And we seal up the border once and for all.
  • 00:05:47.461 --> 00:05:49.797
  • So that you only get into this
  • 00:05:49.797 --> 00:05:50.998
  • Country if you're an invited guest.
  • 00:05:50.998 --> 00:05:52.666
  • And we hold those gas to a very high standard,
  • 00:05:52.666 --> 00:05:55.035
  • Even a higher standard
  • 00:05:55.035 --> 00:05:56.170
  • Than normal americans, because they are our guest.
  • 00:05:56.170 --> 00:05:58.105
  • The same way you would hold gas
  • 00:05:58.105 --> 00:05:59.406
  • In your own home to a high standard.
  • 00:05:59.406 --> 00:06:02.075
  • You know, you managed.
  • 00:06:02.075 --> 00:06:02.910
  • You mentioned a moment ago
  • 00:06:02.910 --> 00:06:03.877
  • The violence that we're seeing now
  • 00:06:03.877 --> 00:06:05.179
  • At the tesla dealerships in trump tower and beyond,
  • 00:06:05.179 --> 00:06:08.315
  • But it's reminiscent of not very long ago
  • 00:06:08.315 --> 00:06:09.983
  • We had blm riots across our nation.
  • 00:06:09.983 --> 00:06:12.486
  • Cities were burning in our largely peaceful protest.
  • 00:06:12.486 --> 00:06:15.856
  • It seems to me there's an abundance of evidence
  • 00:06:15.856 --> 00:06:17.658
  • That the violence
  • 00:06:17.658 --> 00:06:18.759
  • Is not on the conservative side of this discussion.
  • 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.728
  • Why are we so easily manipulated?
  • 00:06:21.728 --> 00:06:23.597
  • Is it the media? are we? do we have short memories?
  • 00:06:23.597 --> 00:06:25.899
  • How do we lose sight of the reality?
  • 00:06:25.899 --> 00:06:28.335
  • So they've always used projection.
  • 00:06:29.069 --> 00:06:30.537
  • That's been their favorite tactic.
  • 00:06:30.537 --> 00:06:32.072
  • One of the great examples of this,
  • 00:06:32.072 --> 00:06:33.440
  • The greatest example when i say frequently,
  • 00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:35.776
  • Is the whole nature of the russia collusion hoax
  • 00:06:35.776 --> 00:06:38.378
  • With trump
  • 00:06:38.378 --> 00:06:39.179
  • Was all because hillary clinton
  • 00:06:39.179 --> 00:06:40.848
  • And the clintons were very vulnerable on russia.
  • 00:06:40.848 --> 00:06:43.083
  • My friend peter schweizer, our colleague at breitbart,
  • 00:06:43.083 --> 00:06:45.352
  • Revealed that hillary clinton
  • 00:06:45.352 --> 00:06:46.620
  • Had allowed for the state department
  • 00:06:46.620 --> 00:06:47.855
  • To sell 80% of our uranium reserves to the russians.
  • 00:06:47.855 --> 00:06:51.625
  • Bill clinton had gotten half $1 million
  • 00:06:51.625 --> 00:06:53.494
  • For a 45 minute speech in russia.
  • 00:06:53.494 --> 00:06:55.329
  • So they had
  • 00:06:55.329 --> 00:06:55.963
  • Deep ties to the russians,
  • 00:06:55.963 --> 00:06:57.364
  • And that was seen as a big vulnerability to them
  • 00:06:57.364 --> 00:07:00.801
  • When hillary was running against trump.
  • 00:07:00.801 --> 00:07:02.536
  • So they cast trump as the russian stooge.
  • 00:07:02.536 --> 00:07:05.506
  • Now trump won, and then he got in.
  • 00:07:05.506 --> 00:07:07.741
  • And then he was actually quite tough on the russians.
  • 00:07:07.741 --> 00:07:10.010
  • He blocked nord stream.
  • 00:07:10.010 --> 00:07:11.278
  • He killed all these wagner troops in syria,
  • 00:07:11.278 --> 00:07:13.647
  • Which is the russian special forces.
  • 00:07:13.647 --> 00:07:16.083
  • He sent ukraine weapons, javelin missiles proactively
  • 00:07:16.083 --> 00:07:19.386
  • Before there was even any sort of an invasion.
  • 00:07:19.386 --> 00:07:21.955
  • All this very tough on russia.
  • 00:07:21.955 --> 00:07:23.457
  • And yet we were told nonstop that trump is the one who is
  • 00:07:23.457 --> 00:07:26.527
  • Is easy on russia.
  • 00:07:26.527 --> 00:07:27.661
  • That's
  • 00:07:27.661 --> 00:07:28.595
  • What's happening here with the violence
  • 00:07:28.595 --> 00:07:30.397
  • Is they're the ones who act violent.
  • 00:07:30.397 --> 00:07:31.732
  • They're the ones who rioted in the streets.
  • 00:07:31.732 --> 00:07:33.901
  • They're the ones who tried to assassinate trump.
  • 00:07:33.901 --> 00:07:36.904
  • They are the ones who are
  • 00:07:36.904 --> 00:07:38.205
  • Vandalizing all these teslas committing acts of terrorism.
  • 00:07:38.205 --> 00:07:40.807
  • They're the ones who are swatting people
  • 00:07:40.807 --> 00:07:42.276
  • Who are on the right.
  • 00:07:42.276 --> 00:07:43.277
  • All this is violent,
  • 00:07:43.277 --> 00:07:44.378
  • But they will tell us where the violent ones.
  • 00:07:44.378 --> 00:07:46.246
  • So just don't fall for it.
  • 00:07:46.246 --> 00:07:47.714
  • And use some of these examples
  • 00:07:47.714 --> 00:07:49.116
  • To remind friends in your life who aren't convinced that
  • 00:07:49.116 --> 00:07:51.251
  • They're the ones who are lying here.
  • 00:07:51.251 --> 00:07:53.320
  • Well, alex, please stay with us for another segment.
  • 00:07:53.320 --> 00:07:55.989
  • By the way, in addition to his role as byt,
  • 00:07:55.989 --> 00:07:58.025
  • Bart's editor in chief, the anchors
  • 00:07:58.025 --> 00:07:59.693
  • A daily podcast called the alex marlowe show.
  • 00:07:59.693 --> 00:08:03.430
  • You should listen when you can. we'll be right back.
  • 00:08:03.430 --> 00:08:11.993
  • You should listen when you can. we'll be right back.
  • 00:08:11.993 --> 00:08:14.643
  • We're back now with
  • 00:08:15.110 --> 00:08:16.345
  • Alex marlowe, the editor in chief of breitbart news.
  • 00:08:16.345 --> 00:08:19.381
  • Let's talk about the economy and mr.
  • 00:08:20.149 --> 00:08:22.117
  • Trump's push to let us
  • 00:08:22.117 --> 00:08:23.252
  • Keep more of our income and have government spend less.
  • 00:08:23.252 --> 00:08:27.022
  • The democrats would have
  • 00:08:27.022 --> 00:08:28.090
  • You believe that elon musk is ruining the country.
  • 00:08:28.090 --> 00:08:31.260
  • But they said no such thing when president obama did this
  • 00:08:31.260 --> 00:08:33.662
  • Very same thing.
  • 00:08:33.662 --> 00:08:34.964
  • Listen to how he explained it.
  • 00:08:34.964 --> 00:08:38.000
  • And that includes cutting back on billions
  • 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:39.735
  • Of dollars in programs that a lot of people care about.
  • 00:08:39.735 --> 00:08:43.072
  • But what should be easy is getting rid of the pointless
  • 00:08:43.072 --> 00:08:45.908
  • Waste and stupid spending that doesn't benefit anybody.
  • 00:08:45.908 --> 00:08:49.812
  • Waste we should be getting rid of
  • 00:08:49.812 --> 00:08:51.547
  • Even if we didn't have a deficit.
  • 00:08:51.547 --> 00:08:53.315
  • We're off to a good start.
  • 00:08:53.315 --> 00:08:55.017
  • Over the last two years, we've pulled the plug
  • 00:08:55.017 --> 00:08:56.752
  • On all kinds of ridiculous practices.
  • 00:08:56.752 --> 00:08:59.254
  • Apparently, the government used to overnight
  • 00:08:59.254 --> 00:09:00.856
  • Containers filled with nothing.
  • 00:09:00.856 --> 00:09:03.258
  • Don't ask why that is.
  • 00:09:03.258 --> 00:09:04.460
  • Sure, some of these cuts aren't that big,
  • 00:09:05.294 --> 00:09:07.796
  • But no amount of waste is acceptable.
  • 00:09:07.796 --> 00:09:10.132
  • Not when it's your money.
  • 00:09:10.132 --> 00:09:11.533
  • Not at the time when so many americans
  • 00:09:11.533 --> 00:09:13.202
  • Are already cutting back.
  • 00:09:13.202 --> 00:09:14.403
  • Just as families are living within their means.
  • 00:09:14.403 --> 00:09:16.939
  • Government should too, so we can invest in the things
  • 00:09:16.939 --> 00:09:20.042
  • That we know will create good jobs and grow the economy.
  • 00:09:20.042 --> 00:09:24.079
  • But as i said, i don't remember any democrats saying that obama
  • 00:09:24.079 --> 00:09:27.416
  • Was ruining the country then, do you?
  • 00:09:27.416 --> 00:09:31.020
  • No, of course not.
  • 00:09:31.453 --> 00:09:32.488
  • And this is something that i follow the media
  • 00:09:32.488 --> 00:09:35.658
  • Even more than i follow conservative media,
  • 00:09:35.658 --> 00:09:37.259
  • Because i feel like sometimes i get more insight.
  • 00:09:37.259 --> 00:09:39.695
  • And this is a conversation
  • 00:09:39.695 --> 00:09:41.764
  • That is taking place in some left wing podcasts.
  • 00:09:41.764 --> 00:09:44.767
  • And is them saying
  • 00:09:44.767 --> 00:09:46.068
  • That actually the real mistake here is not actually some?
  • 00:09:46.068 --> 00:09:49.538
  • It is not supporting what musk is doing, and even more.
  • 00:09:49.538 --> 00:09:53.175
  • Maybe we should have done that stuff ourselves.
  • 00:09:53.175 --> 00:09:55.811
  • That's what a lot of people are actually talking about.
  • 00:09:55.811 --> 00:09:58.681
  • It's not really making it to the mainstream.
  • 00:09:58.681 --> 00:10:00.315
  • The mainstream people are all outraged at musk.
  • 00:10:00.315 --> 00:10:02.251
  • They're saying he steals, which is pretty unbelievable
  • 00:10:02.251 --> 00:10:05.054
  • Because they're acting as though him actually
  • 00:10:05.054 --> 00:10:08.023
  • Giving money back to the taxpayers is us
  • 00:10:08.023 --> 00:10:10.592
  • Stealing from the treasury, which
  • 00:10:10.592 --> 00:10:12.194
  • Think about that as a cosmic irony.
  • 00:10:12.194 --> 00:10:14.396
  • But people who are smart
  • 00:10:14.396 --> 00:10:15.597
  • In the democrat side know that they blew it.
  • 00:10:15.597 --> 00:10:17.299
  • They should have done a doge
  • 00:10:17.299 --> 00:10:18.834
  • When biden was in and when obama was in,
  • 00:10:18.834 --> 00:10:21.637
  • And they would have gotten all the credit
  • 00:10:21.637 --> 00:10:23.806
  • That trump and musk are going to get
  • 00:10:23.806 --> 00:10:25.207
  • When this thing gets settled.
  • 00:10:25.207 --> 00:10:26.341
  • So they made a big mistake.
  • 00:10:26.341 --> 00:10:27.843
  • And their move really should be to work with trump
  • 00:10:27.843 --> 00:10:30.646
  • And musk to try to cut fat.
  • 00:10:30.646 --> 00:10:32.214
  • That's their best play.
  • 00:10:32.214 --> 00:10:33.582
  • They're not going to look
  • 00:10:33.582 --> 00:10:34.750
  • Great in the end, but they'll look okay.
  • 00:10:34.750 --> 00:10:36.652
  • Them fighting these cuts
  • 00:10:36.652 --> 00:10:38.053
  • To the most absurd things you've ever heard.
  • 00:10:38.053 --> 00:10:40.055
  • You can do a laundry list of what those are.
  • 00:10:40.055 --> 00:10:41.990
  • It's just not going to play with the public.
  • 00:10:41.990 --> 00:10:43.692
  • The public thinks the government is too bloated
  • 00:10:43.692 --> 00:10:45.594
  • And they want cuts.
  • 00:10:45.594 --> 00:10:47.296
  • Well, there's also a commentary by joe
  • 00:10:47.296 --> 00:10:48.997
  • Biden who said it was important to build trust in government.
  • 00:10:48.997 --> 00:10:52.167
  • Listen to this.
  • 00:10:52.534 --> 00:10:53.769
  • It's about a simple proposition.
  • 00:10:54.403 --> 00:10:57.473
  • The american people
  • 00:10:57.473 --> 00:10:59.174
  • Have lost confidence over the years in the ability
  • 00:10:59.174 --> 00:11:02.377
  • Of their government to deliver on what they promise.
  • 00:11:02.377 --> 00:11:05.748
  • It's a pretty simple proposition.
  • 00:11:06.482 --> 00:11:09.118
  • It's not.
  • 00:11:09.118 --> 00:11:10.185
  • The american people don't want to help the poor.
  • 00:11:10.185 --> 00:11:12.588
  • They don't want to make sure that we invest in the future.
  • 00:11:12.588 --> 00:11:16.191
  • They doubt.
  • 00:11:16.525 --> 00:11:17.693
  • They doubt whether or not last government, government
  • 00:11:17.693 --> 00:11:20.395
  • Before that, this government
  • 00:11:20.395 --> 00:11:21.563
  • When any government can actually do it well.
  • 00:11:21.563 --> 00:11:24.199
  • It was about regaining confidence,
  • 00:11:24.199 --> 00:11:27.469
  • Regaining the confidence in american people that we knew
  • 00:11:27.469 --> 00:11:30.439
  • How to husband their tax dollars.
  • 00:11:30.439 --> 00:11:33.675
  • You know, if only he'd meant what he said.
  • 00:11:33.675 --> 00:11:35.711
  • Alex.
  • 00:11:35.711 --> 00:11:37.312
  • Yeah.
  • 00:11:37.312 --> 00:11:38.347
  • That's the nature of this whole conversation.
  • 00:11:38.347 --> 00:11:39.715
  • Is that their ability to say the right things
  • 00:11:39.715 --> 00:11:42.484
  • And then to do nothing.
  • 00:11:42.484 --> 00:11:43.485
  • So i just
  • 00:11:43.485 --> 00:11:44.686
  • Hope they're feeling very regretful, because it'd be nice
  • 00:11:44.686 --> 00:11:46.221
  • If there were two good political parties in this country.
  • 00:11:46.221 --> 00:11:48.791
  • But sadly,
  • 00:11:48.791 --> 00:11:50.025
  • It seems like the permeating view on the democrats these days
  • 00:11:50.025 --> 00:11:52.694
  • That's winning out.
  • 00:11:52.694 --> 00:11:53.829
  • Is that what trump and musk is doing is illegal to moral.
  • 00:11:53.829 --> 00:11:57.332
  • It's evil, that stuff. no it's not.
  • 00:11:57.332 --> 00:11:59.835
  • You guys said the exact same stuff.
  • 00:11:59.835 --> 00:12:01.403
  • Everyone thinks the government is too bloated,
  • 00:12:01.403 --> 00:12:03.739
  • That the consultant class is too big,
  • 00:12:03.739 --> 00:12:05.507
  • That the bureaucracy is too big.
  • 00:12:05.507 --> 00:12:07.009
  • And it's time for sensible cuts.
  • 00:12:07.009 --> 00:12:08.510
  • We cannot continue to rack up the debt
  • 00:12:08.510 --> 00:12:10.245
  • The way we're racking it up.
  • 00:12:10.245 --> 00:12:11.580
  • And so just restoring fiscal sanity into this country
  • 00:12:11.580 --> 00:12:15.184
  • Will be very welcome and will help us prosper.
  • 00:12:15.184 --> 00:12:17.386
  • So they should really be getting on board with this
  • 00:12:17.386 --> 00:12:19.154
  • And hopefully they figure it out before long.
  • 00:12:19.154 --> 00:12:21.790
  • You know, it's interesting
  • 00:12:21.790 --> 00:12:22.925
  • Listening to the democrats struggling to find someone
  • 00:12:22.925 --> 00:12:24.860
  • To get behind for the next presidential race.
  • 00:12:24.860 --> 00:12:27.129
  • There's no talk about the policies
  • 00:12:27.129 --> 00:12:29.131
  • They say that gavin newsom has good hair.
  • 00:12:29.131 --> 00:12:31.333
  • Pete buttigieg is openly gay.
  • 00:12:31.333 --> 00:12:33.335
  • John fetterman was close to the capitol.
  • 00:12:33.335 --> 00:12:35.304
  • That, like you'd usually wear on the farm,
  • 00:12:35.304 --> 00:12:37.606
  • No policies, just the optics of it all.
  • 00:12:37.606 --> 00:12:40.776
  • Would you agree?
  • 00:12:40.776 --> 00:12:42.711
  • Yeah.
  • 00:12:42.945 --> 00:12:43.912
  • I'm very struck by how thin their bench is.
  • 00:12:43.912 --> 00:12:45.881
  • I mean, i was so happy to hear that tim walz was going
  • 00:12:45.881 --> 00:12:49.785
  • To go on a tour doing town halls because he's so unlikable.
  • 00:12:49.785 --> 00:12:52.588
  • He's so weird.
  • 00:12:52.588 --> 00:12:53.589
  • He's the weirdest guy in all of washington.
  • 00:12:53.589 --> 00:12:55.224
  • That's another one of their projections is
  • 00:12:55.224 --> 00:12:56.625
  • He was the one calling j.d. vance weird.
  • 00:12:56.625 --> 00:12:58.560
  • He's very normal guy.
  • 00:12:58.560 --> 00:12:59.928
  • Walz is a big weirdo.
  • 00:12:59.928 --> 00:13:01.196
  • So he's going around and he's talking.
  • 00:13:01.196 --> 00:13:03.765
  • He's rooting for tesla to fail,
  • 00:13:03.765 --> 00:13:05.701
  • Even though people in his own state of minnesota
  • 00:13:05.701 --> 00:13:07.803
  • Have pension plans that are invested in tesla.
  • 00:13:07.803 --> 00:13:09.972
  • Even though there are people countless people
  • 00:13:09.972 --> 00:13:11.840
  • In this country, it's a made in america car company
  • 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:14.142
  • Who lose their jobs if tesla failed.
  • 00:13:14.142 --> 00:13:16.078
  • He's openly rooting against this huge
  • 00:13:16.078 --> 00:13:17.546
  • American innovative company.
  • 00:13:17.546 --> 00:13:19.047
  • It's just not popular.
  • 00:13:19.047 --> 00:13:20.415
  • It's really tone deaf that he's doing it.
  • 00:13:20.415 --> 00:13:22.784
  • I think alexandria ocasio-cortez, aoc, she's known.
  • 00:13:22.784 --> 00:13:26.121
  • I think she's lost her fastball.
  • 00:13:26.121 --> 00:13:27.522
  • I think she's not as woke or as much of a loudmouth
  • 00:13:27.522 --> 00:13:30.125
  • As this woman, jasmine crockett, who's
  • 00:13:30.125 --> 00:13:31.693
  • Stealing all the headlines on the far left.
  • 00:13:31.693 --> 00:13:34.096
  • I think they really are without a leader.
  • 00:13:34.096 --> 00:13:36.064
  • The polling gavin newsom's new podcast is terrible.
  • 00:13:36.064 --> 00:13:38.700
  • I don't think it's helping him
  • 00:13:38.700 --> 00:13:39.735
  • With conservatives or independents or liberals.
  • 00:13:39.735 --> 00:13:41.870
  • It just they are so, so lost.
  • 00:13:41.870 --> 00:13:44.139
  • And that's why it's so important for president trump
  • 00:13:44.139 --> 00:13:46.675
  • To get through as much of his agenda
  • 00:13:46.675 --> 00:13:48.110
  • As he possibly can as fast as he can.
  • 00:13:48.110 --> 00:13:50.379
  • And i can tell you, pastor, from my time at the white house,
  • 00:13:50.379 --> 00:13:52.814
  • He agrees. that's the approach they're taking.
  • 00:13:52.814 --> 00:13:54.950
  • They're trying to move at a breakneck
  • 00:13:54.950 --> 00:13:56.818
  • Speed to get stuff done while the democrats are so weak.
  • 00:13:56.818 --> 00:13:59.588
  • Well, you know, clearly the party is in a deep hole
  • 00:14:00.622 --> 00:14:02.491
  • And it seems to be getting deeper.
  • 00:14:02.491 --> 00:14:04.393
  • The new nbc poll shows that only 27% of those
  • 00:14:04.393 --> 00:14:07.162
  • Ask, have a positive feeling about the democrat party
  • 00:14:07.162 --> 00:14:10.098
  • And double that number.
  • 00:14:10.098 --> 00:14:11.166
  • 55% have a negative feeling. alex.
  • 00:14:11.166 --> 00:14:14.202
  • How could they recover now
  • 00:14:14.202 --> 00:14:15.337
  • That president trump has the lead on
  • 00:14:15.337 --> 00:14:16.805
  • All the key issues the voters want addressed?
  • 00:14:16.805 --> 00:14:19.808
  • Yeah, i think the first thing is
  • 00:14:19.808 --> 00:14:21.009
  • They're going to have to eat some crow,
  • 00:14:21.009 --> 00:14:22.411
  • And they're going to have to be able to say
  • 00:14:22.411 --> 00:14:24.046
  • That we made some mistakes, which they can't do,
  • 00:14:24.046 --> 00:14:25.881
  • Because part of their nature is to never admit
  • 00:14:25.881 --> 00:14:28.083
  • They're wrong, but they have to say,
  • 00:14:28.083 --> 00:14:29.484
  • We were wrong about doge,
  • 00:14:29.484 --> 00:14:30.719
  • And we were wrong about some of the bloat in our government.
  • 00:14:30.719 --> 00:14:33.622
  • They should probably cast aside some of the less
  • 00:14:33.622 --> 00:14:36.325
  • Popular warmonger consultants who they've embraced.
  • 00:14:36.325 --> 00:14:39.294
  • It was just
  • 00:14:39.294 --> 00:14:40.429
  • Very strange embracing families like the cheney family.
  • 00:14:40.429 --> 00:14:42.764
  • It was just i don't know why they did that.
  • 00:14:42.764 --> 00:14:44.299
  • It seemed like they took
  • 00:14:44.299 --> 00:14:45.434
  • All of republicans worst ideas of our last 20 years
  • 00:14:45.434 --> 00:14:48.570
  • And embrace those.
  • 00:14:48.570 --> 00:14:49.504
  • And they gave us all of their best ideas.
  • 00:14:49.504 --> 00:14:52.240
  • And it's funny because trump is just seizing
  • 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.376
  • All of that and it's just great.
  • 00:14:54.376 --> 00:14:55.777
  • Like, no more wars all around the world.
  • 00:14:55.777 --> 00:14:57.646
  • Trump wants to bring peace.
  • 00:14:57.646 --> 00:14:59.281
  • When i was growing up, republicans
  • 00:14:59.281 --> 00:15:00.716
  • Wanted to get us in every war.
  • 00:15:00.716 --> 00:15:01.883
  • That's not the case anymore. now, democrats
  • 00:15:01.883 --> 00:15:03.485
  • Want us in the wars and republicans want peace.
  • 00:15:03.485 --> 00:15:05.620
  • How did they let us do that? they're so stupid.
  • 00:15:05.620 --> 00:15:07.422
  • So anyone who allowed for that to happen, they need to go away.
  • 00:15:07.422 --> 00:15:11.126
  • And they need some new, fresh ideas.
  • 00:15:11.126 --> 00:15:12.961
  • But the problem is that's a ways off.
  • 00:15:12.961 --> 00:15:15.130
  • That's going to be years off.
  • 00:15:15.130 --> 00:15:16.531
  • There have a lot of people who have a played out message,
  • 00:15:16.531 --> 00:15:20.502
  • And they're just trying to enrich themselves
  • 00:15:20.502 --> 00:15:22.437
  • And to get attention on msnbc.
  • 00:15:22.437 --> 00:15:23.939
  • So i have no idea where it's going to go for them, pastor.
  • 00:15:23.939 --> 00:15:26.675
  • But i'll tell you that they don't either.
  • 00:15:26.675 --> 00:15:29.544
  • Well, alex marlow, as always, it's great to have you on.
  • 00:15:29.544 --> 00:15:32.347
  • We'll see you again soon.
  • 00:15:32.347 --> 00:15:33.882
  • I hope so, thank you.
  • 00:15:34.383 --> 00:15:35.784
  • When we come back, some thoughts on what's next.
  • 00:15:35.784 --> 00:15:38.086
  • Then later your turn at helping to produce the show.
  • 00:15:38.086 --> 00:15:40.789
  • We're going to sort through some of your emails.
  • 00:15:40.789 --> 00:15:42.791
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:15:42.791 --> 00:15:48.999
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:15:48.999 --> 00:15:52.012
  • I believe
  • 00:15:52.312 --> 00:15:53.414
  • Alex marlow gave us a really nice insight into what
  • 00:15:53.414 --> 00:15:55.749
  • President trump and his team are doing in washington.
  • 00:15:55.749 --> 00:15:58.986
  • I'm grateful for their efforts, for their
  • 00:15:58.986 --> 00:16:01.455
  • Their unrelenting energy.
  • 00:16:01.455 --> 00:16:03.090
  • It seems like every morning they attack
  • 00:16:03.090 --> 00:16:05.025
  • As if it's a brand new day and a first day on the job.
  • 00:16:05.025 --> 00:16:08.195
  • I have a concern, though.
  • 00:16:08.195 --> 00:16:10.297
  • If we don't match their energy with the commitment
  • 00:16:10.297 --> 00:16:12.766
  • To change in our own hearts and our own lives,
  • 00:16:12.766 --> 00:16:15.335
  • In our own communities.
  • 00:16:15.335 --> 00:16:17.071
  • I don't believe what they're initiating is sustainable.
  • 00:16:17.071 --> 00:16:21.075
  • It reminds me i've walked through
  • 00:16:21.075 --> 00:16:22.443
  • Many diagnosis with people who'v
  • 00:16:22.443 --> 00:16:25.579
  • Doctors come in with treatment protocols and regimens,
  • 00:16:26.613 --> 00:16:28.982
  • Surgeries, removal of tumors, chemotherapy.
  • 00:16:28.982 --> 00:16:32.152
  • And there's tremendous victories.
  • 00:16:32.152 --> 00:16:33.987
  • But if the cancer isn't
  • 00:16:33.987 --> 00:16:35.055
  • Completely removed, if it returns, it returns
  • 00:16:35.055 --> 00:16:38.292
  • With a vengeance.
  • 00:16:38.292 --> 00:16:39.393
  • That's worse than the original diagnosis seemed to be.
  • 00:16:39.393 --> 00:16:42.963
  • Well, i think we're in a similar place.
  • 00:16:42.963 --> 00:16:44.798
  • President trump and his team are addressing
  • 00:16:44.798 --> 00:16:46.867
  • Some evils that have been taken root on our watch.
  • 00:16:46.867 --> 00:16:50.137
  • We were too busy, too distracted for whatever reason.
  • 00:16:50.137 --> 00:16:52.906
  • We raised our voices
  • 00:16:52.906 --> 00:16:54.007
  • And we've given them permission to introduce change.
  • 00:16:54.007 --> 00:16:56.643
  • But we have to match their change.
  • 00:16:56.643 --> 00:16:58.545
  • We have to match it in our lives.
  • 00:16:58.545 --> 00:17:00.114
  • We've got to go back to our churches,
  • 00:17:00.114 --> 00:17:01.415
  • Get our bibles out,
  • 00:17:01.415 --> 00:17:02.783
  • Come back to the fundamental principles of character
  • 00:17:02.783 --> 00:17:05.586
  • That made our nation great to begin with.
  • 00:17:05.586 --> 00:17:08.355
  • If we will do that around our kitchen table
  • 00:17:08.355 --> 00:17:10.524
  • And at our holiday tables,
  • 00:17:10.524 --> 00:17:12.126
  • In our friends circles, that i believe god will help us.
  • 00:17:12.126 --> 00:17:15.329
  • That he will bless america again.
  • 00:17:15.329 --> 00:17:17.631
  • If we don't, if we leave it to the professional politicians,
  • 00:17:17.631 --> 00:17:21.268
  • The disease
  • 00:17:21.602 --> 00:17:22.836
  • And the rot and the corruption will come back with a vengeance.
  • 00:17:22.836 --> 00:17:26.306
  • We can't allow that.
  • 00:17:26.306 --> 00:17:27.641
  • Let's choose god.
  • 00:17:27.641 --> 00:17:29.076
  • If we'll do that, i assure you there's more reasons for hope
  • 00:17:29.076 --> 00:17:32.346
  • Than despair when we return.
  • 00:17:32.346 --> 00:17:34.848
  • I'm going to read some of your emails.
  • 00:17:34.848 --> 00:17:43.002
  • I'm going to read some of your emails.
  • 00:17:43.002 --> 00:17:45.494
  • Thank you for taking the time to send your emails.
  • 00:17:46.529 --> 00:17:48.764
  • We always look forward to reading them.
  • 00:17:48.764 --> 00:17:51.033
  • Karen wilson emailed i'm in support of president trump
  • 00:17:51.033 --> 00:17:54.570
  • And his plan for the border to protect our country.
  • 00:17:54.570 --> 00:17:58.340
  • Well, karen, i could not agree with you more.
  • 00:17:58.340 --> 00:18:01.177
  • It is not compassionate to encourage people
  • 00:18:01.177 --> 00:18:04.313
  • Towards behavior that begins with the word illegal.
  • 00:18:04.313 --> 00:18:08.050
  • We bought into the deception, and i'm very grateful
  • 00:18:08.050 --> 00:18:10.619
  • For president
  • 00:18:10.619 --> 00:18:11.554
  • Trump and tom homan and the entire team
  • 00:18:11.554 --> 00:18:14.190
  • That are once again securing our borders.
  • 00:18:14.190 --> 00:18:15.925
  • It's the best future for all involved.
  • 00:18:15.925 --> 00:18:18.694
  • Linda dee from arizona said, we the people want to know
  • 00:18:18.694 --> 00:18:20.930
  • Where our tax dollars are being spent.
  • 00:18:20.930 --> 00:18:23.165
  • Government bureaucracy needs to end.
  • 00:18:23.165 --> 00:18:25.267
  • We want truth.
  • 00:18:25.267 --> 00:18:26.335
  • So if there's nothing to hide, follow the money.
  • 00:18:26.335 --> 00:18:29.138
  • It's taxpayers money.
  • 00:18:29.138 --> 00:18:30.940
  • We the people want to know how you spent taxpayers money.
  • 00:18:30.940 --> 00:18:35.144
  • Linda, i agree with your thought.
  • 00:18:35.144 --> 00:18:37.713
  • It's time for some transparency in washington.
  • 00:18:37.713 --> 00:18:40.816
  • We need to get some of the
  • 00:18:40.816 --> 00:18:42.484
  • The professional politicians snouts out of the trough.
  • 00:18:42.484 --> 00:18:46.055
  • Our lives will get better.
  • 00:18:46.055 --> 00:18:47.590
  • Penny d from paradise, california.
  • 00:18:47.590 --> 00:18:50.359
  • Pastor jackson, you are greatly appreciated here
  • 00:18:51.293 --> 00:18:53.395
  • In northern california,
  • 00:18:53.395 --> 00:18:54.930
  • Where it's difficult to find a church
  • 00:18:54.930 --> 00:18:56.465
  • That preaches biblical truth
  • 00:18:56.465 --> 00:18:57.866
  • And that confronts culture like you're doing.
  • 00:18:57.866 --> 00:19:00.469
  • Thank you
  • 00:19:00.469 --> 00:19:01.570
  • For speaking the truth about culture and christianity.
  • 00:19:01.570 --> 00:19:04.139
  • Well, i'm delighted to know
  • 00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:06.041
  • I have some friends in california.

  • I'll start with northern california
  • 00:19:07.910 --> 00:19:10.045
  • And start to pray about the south.
  • 00:19:10.045 --> 00:19:12.214
  • We pray for california at the last newcomers meeting
  • 00:19:12.214 --> 00:19:15.050
  • I had here at the church.
  • 00:19:15.050 --> 00:19:16.418
  • There were over
  • 00:19:16.418 --> 00:19:17.553
  • A dozen families that had moved here from california.
