Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Explosive Documents | Allen Jackson Now | July 22, 2025
- Good evening.
- 00:00:17.542 --> 00:00:18.543
- I'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
- 00:00:18.543 --> 00:00:20.745
- We're going to begin tonight with what may turn out to be the
- 00:00:20.745 --> 00:00:23.448
- Most important inside government revelation since watergate,
- 00:00:23.448 --> 00:00:27.586
- And far more significant with the release
- 00:00:27.586 --> 00:00:29.921
- Of some previously hidden internal documents.
- 00:00:29.921 --> 00:00:32.257
- We've now
- 00:00:32.257 --> 00:00:33.425
- All learned that the 44th president of the united states
- 00:00:33.425 --> 00:00:36.027
- Tried to unseat the incoming 45th president,
- 00:00:36.027 --> 00:00:39.264
- Just as he was about to take office.
- 00:00:39.264 --> 00:00:41.333
- Well, according to new evidence
- 00:00:41.333 --> 00:00:42.634
- From the director of national intelligence,
- 00:00:42.634 --> 00:00:44.703
- President obama directed a plan to weaponize raw intelligence
- 00:00:44.703 --> 00:00:48.807
- In order to completely undo then president elect donald trump.
- 00:00:48.807 --> 00:00:53.545
- The documents were released by tulsi gabbard,
- 00:00:53.545 --> 00:00:55.847
- Who calls it a treasonous conspiracy that shows former cia
- 00:00:55.847 --> 00:00:59.451
- Director john brennan and former fbi director james comey
- 00:00:59.451 --> 00:01:03.555
- Worked face to face with president
- 00:01:03.555 --> 00:01:05.357
- Obama, manipulating internal assessments
- 00:01:05.357 --> 00:01:08.026
- To push a made up narrative that russia intervened in the 2016
- 00:01:08.026 --> 00:01:11.663
- Election to help mr. trump get elected.
- 00:01:11.663 --> 00:01:14.432
- Well, as the dni director put it, obama officials
- 00:01:14.432 --> 00:01:17.435
- Manufactured intelligence with information they knew
- 00:01:17.435 --> 00:01:20.605
- Is not true and then pushed it through their media friends.
- 00:01:20.605 --> 00:01:24.376
- Listen to how tulsi gabbard described it.
- 00:01:24.376 --> 00:01:27.112
- The implications
- 00:01:27.512 --> 00:01:28.580
- Of this are, frankly, nothing short of historic.
- 00:01:28.580 --> 00:01:32.284
- Over 100 documents that we released on friday
- 00:01:32.284 --> 00:01:35.921
- Really detail and provide evidence of how this
- 00:01:35.921 --> 00:01:39.925
- Treasonous conspiracy was directed by president
- 00:01:39.925 --> 00:01:43.828
- Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office
- 00:01:43.828 --> 00:01:47.632
- After president trump had already gotten elected.
- 00:01:47.632 --> 00:01:51.136
- This is not a democrat or republican issue.
- 00:01:51.136 --> 00:01:53.805
- This is an issue that is so serious
- 00:01:53.805 --> 00:01:55.473
- That should concern every single american.
- 00:01:55.473 --> 00:01:58.843
- Well, with that, i want to bring in
- 00:01:58.843 --> 00:02:00.412
- One of our regular washington guest, ned ryan.
- 00:02:00.412 --> 00:02:03.615
- He's the founder of american majority and someone
- 00:02:03.615 --> 00:02:05.951
- With a lot of knowledge in the ways of washington. ned.
- 00:02:05.951 --> 00:02:08.987
- Welcome back.
- 00:02:08.987 --> 00:02:10.755
- Great to be back with you, alan.
- 00:02:10.755 --> 00:02:12.891
- Tulsi gabbard has already sent this
- 00:02:12.891 --> 00:02:14.759
- To the department of justice with a criminal referral.
- 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.596
- And she says there's more documentation to come.
- 00:02:17.596 --> 00:02:20.732
- So let's start by giving us your assessment of how
- 00:02:20.732 --> 00:02:23.368
- Big a deal this really is.
- 00:02:23.368 --> 00:02:26.004
- It's massive.
- 00:02:26.371 --> 00:02:27.806
- You know, you mentioned watergate
- 00:02:27.806 --> 00:02:29.207
- In your opening monologue.
- 00:02:29.207 --> 00:02:30.375
- I think this makes watergate look like amateur hour.
- 00:02:30.375 --> 00:02:34.279
- Small ball.
- 00:02:34.279 --> 00:02:37.082
- Russiagate, to me, is what we long suspected.
- 00:02:37.082 --> 00:02:40.185
- Island was that eventually we would find ourselves back
- 00:02:40.185 --> 00:02:43.255
- In the oval office with obama and biden implicated
- 00:02:43.255 --> 00:02:47.125
- And being part and parcel to,
- 00:02:47.125 --> 00:02:49.995
- This hoax of russian collusion.
- 00:02:49.995 --> 00:02:52.530
- And now as as tulsi said on friday, over 100 documents
- 00:02:52.530 --> 00:02:56.568
- That showed not only were they aware of
- 00:02:56.568 --> 00:02:58.403
- And part of this treasonous and i would say
- 00:02:58.403 --> 00:03:00.839
- Seditious conspiracy against donald j.
- 00:03:00.839 --> 00:03:03.074
- Trump, it very much looks like barack obama was quarterbacking,
- 00:03:03.074 --> 00:03:07.712
- The attempts to take out the newly elected,
- 00:03:07.712 --> 00:03:10.749
- And soon to be sworn in donald j.
- 00:03:10.749 --> 00:03:12.617
- Trump.
- 00:03:12.617 --> 00:03:13.685
- And so the important thing for me is that
- 00:03:13.685 --> 00:03:16.821
- People actually be prosecuted, that they actually realize,
- 00:03:16.821 --> 00:03:20.692
- Received the full extent of the law
- 00:03:21.459 --> 00:03:23.261
- And the consequences for the decisions
- 00:03:23.261 --> 00:03:25.196
- Because of what it means for this country.
- 00:03:25.196 --> 00:03:26.564
- And tulsi kind of alluded to that.
- 00:03:26.564 --> 00:03:28.033
- But i think we need to focus on the fact that
- 00:03:28.033 --> 00:03:30.402
- What what barack obama
- 00:03:30.402 --> 00:03:31.870
- And john brennan and comey and andrew mccabe
- 00:03:31.870 --> 00:03:35.974
- And james baker, all of the folks
- 00:03:35.974 --> 00:03:38.043
- That were heavily involved, susan rice, what they were doing
- 00:03:38.043 --> 00:03:41.212
- Was denying the peaceful transfer of power.
- 00:03:41.212 --> 00:03:44.316
- They were trying to thwart
- 00:03:44.316 --> 00:03:45.650
- The will of the american people and the duly elected
- 00:03:45.650 --> 00:03:48.653
- President and free and fair elections, the results of those
- 00:03:48.653 --> 00:03:52.724
- And we're using these institutions,
- 00:03:52.724 --> 00:03:55.126
- Whether it was the doj or the fbi or the intel community,
- 00:03:55.126 --> 00:03:59.064
- As political weapons against a political opponent
- 00:03:59.064 --> 00:04:01.666
- Over policy differences.
- 00:04:01.666 --> 00:04:03.702
- And so the massive abuse of public trust,
- 00:04:03.702 --> 00:04:06.805
- The massive abuse of power
- 00:04:06.805 --> 00:04:08.606
- In what i consider highly illegal acts,
- 00:04:08.606 --> 00:04:11.409
- The only way that you can restore trust
- 00:04:11.409 --> 00:04:13.712
- And confidence in these institutions,
- 00:04:13.712 --> 00:04:16.114
- And i think things are very fundamental
- 00:04:16.114 --> 00:04:17.716
- To who we are as a country, is for there to be consequences.
- 00:04:17.716 --> 00:04:20.618
- And i'm not meeting, meaning stripping
- 00:04:20.618 --> 00:04:22.721
- People of security clearances.
- 00:04:22.721 --> 00:04:24.589
- I'm meeting
- 00:04:24.589 --> 00:04:25.757
- Prosecuted to the full extent of the law and receiving
- 00:04:25.757 --> 00:04:28.993
- The ultimate end of that, which is probably jail time.
- 00:04:28.993 --> 00:04:31.596
- And i just want to
- 00:04:32.030 --> 00:04:33.231
- There's two other things, you know, while i'm sitting here
- 00:04:33.231 --> 00:04:34.699
- Thinking about this, that i want to make a point,
- 00:04:34.699 --> 00:04:37.369
- I didn't make the rules to this new game where you can
- 00:04:37.369 --> 00:04:39.838
- Prosecute former presidents and give them mug shots.
- 00:04:39.838 --> 00:04:43.875
- I didn't make the rules to that game, but those are the rules,
- 00:04:43.875 --> 00:04:46.711
- And i think we should play that game
- 00:04:46.711 --> 00:04:48.079
- By the rules that the less nate
- 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.415
- And i think barack obama should receive exactly
- 00:04:50.415 --> 00:04:53.084
- What he deserves for cracking the seditious conspiracy.
- 00:04:53.084 --> 00:04:56.855
- But the other thing i also want to point out, alan, is this
- 00:04:56.855 --> 00:05:00.392
- A lot of the coconspirators in this, this grand conspiracy
- 00:05:00.392 --> 00:05:04.329
- To take out donald j.
- 00:05:04.329 --> 00:05:05.397
- Trump are the corporate trump propagandists.
- 00:05:05.397 --> 00:05:07.665
- Think about what took place barack obama, comey, brennan,
- 00:05:07.665 --> 00:05:10.402
- All of them cooked up this hoax to take out trump
- 00:05:10.402 --> 00:05:14.539
- The way they facilitated getting that story into the public eye
- 00:05:14.539 --> 00:05:19.010
- In injecting that poison into this country was through
- 00:05:19.010 --> 00:05:22.547
- The corporate propagandists.
- 00:05:22.547 --> 00:05:24.215
- So the corporate propagandists don't want to talk about this,
- 00:05:24.215 --> 00:05:27.018
- Because you know why?
- 00:05:27.018 --> 00:05:27.952
- They were the coconspirators
- 00:05:27.952 --> 00:05:29.921
- In trying to take out the duly
- 00:05:29.921 --> 00:05:31.322
- Elected president, united states.
- 00:05:31.322 --> 00:05:32.557
- So we're looking at barack obama
- 00:05:32.557 --> 00:05:34.125
- And brennan and comey and everybody else.
- 00:05:34.125 --> 00:05:36.428
- I think we need to have a hard look at a lot of these people
- 00:05:36.428 --> 00:05:39.364
- That are sitting at cnn, msnbc, washington post, new york times
- 00:05:39.364 --> 00:05:43.735
- And other outlets that were part and parcel
- 00:05:43.735 --> 00:05:47.205
- To this treasonous conspiracy.
- 00:05:47.205 --> 00:05:49.374
- Well, no, you know, i agree with you.
- 00:05:50.175 --> 00:05:51.443
- I think there's something that makes many of us
- 00:05:51.443 --> 00:05:53.445
- Uncomfortable with investigating
- 00:05:53.445 --> 00:05:55.180
- A former president, former administration.
- 00:05:55.180 --> 00:05:57.949
- On the other hand, if being in the white house
- 00:05:57.949 --> 00:06:00.151
- Gives you carte blanche to break any law you want to,
- 00:06:00.151 --> 00:06:03.254
- We will have no liberty and freedom.
- 00:06:03.254 --> 00:06:05.089
- So it seems to me that this has to be pursued.
- 00:06:05.089 --> 00:06:07.992
- This isn't a political agenda.
- 00:06:07.992 --> 00:06:09.494
- This is a freedom of speech, a freedom of issue
- 00:06:09.494 --> 00:06:12.063
- For all american people. am i right?
- 00:06:12.063 --> 00:06:14.299
- Also, it's also about rule of law.
- 00:06:14.299 --> 00:06:17.268
- It's also about do we actually believe in the rule of law?
- 00:06:17.268 --> 00:06:20.405
- If you've broken the law, it doesn't matter.
- 00:06:20.405 --> 00:06:22.240
- Your station in life what what connections you might have.
- 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.543
- One of the founding principles of this
- 00:06:25.543 --> 00:06:27.045
- Country is all stand equal before the law.
- 00:06:27.045 --> 00:06:29.547
- Doesn't matter your position or power or money.
- 00:06:29.547 --> 00:06:32.283
- And so for us to restore trust in institutions
- 00:06:32.283 --> 00:06:35.787
- And to restore trust in the idea of rule
- 00:06:35.787 --> 00:06:37.622
- Of law and equal application of the law,
- 00:06:37.622 --> 00:06:39.824
- I think a lot of american people
- 00:06:39.824 --> 00:06:41.092
- Have lost trust in our institutions
- 00:06:41.092 --> 00:06:42.527
- Because they see very powerful people
- 00:06:42.527 --> 00:06:44.896
- Getting away with what they consider
- 00:06:44.896 --> 00:06:46.698
- To be highly illegal acts and don't face any consequences.
- 00:06:46.698 --> 00:06:50.568
- So for us to to have consequences
- 00:06:50.568 --> 00:06:53.438
- Now, i think is going to really decide or not
- 00:06:53.438 --> 00:06:56.541
- Is going to decide who we are as a people 20 years from now.
- 00:06:56.541 --> 00:06:59.177
- So this has implications now, but the process of restoring
- 00:06:59.177 --> 00:07:02.881
- Who we are as a republic and the idea of rule of law.
- 00:07:02.881 --> 00:07:05.550
- But if we don't do anything now, alan,
- 00:07:05.550 --> 00:07:07.819
- I guess i've got real questions as to who we're going to be
- 00:07:07.819 --> 00:07:10.188
- As a people in a country a generation from now.
- 00:07:10.188 --> 00:07:13.224
- Well, despite the scale of what we've just learned,
- 00:07:14.259 --> 00:07:16.761
- If you listen
- 00:07:16.761 --> 00:07:17.428
- To much of the american media,
- 00:07:17.428 --> 00:07:19.030
- This major piece of news doesn't even seem to rate.
- 00:07:19.030 --> 00:07:22.033
- Instead, they're shows are full of stories
- 00:07:22.033 --> 00:07:23.668
- About the ceo
- 00:07:23.668 --> 00:07:24.936
- Who was caught hugging his hr executive as a coldplay concert,
- 00:07:24.936 --> 00:07:28.706
- Or the cancellation of stephen colbert.
- 00:07:28.706 --> 00:07:31.643
- Are they just going to ignore this
- 00:07:31.643 --> 00:07:33.044
- Like they did the immigration crisis?
- 00:07:33.044 --> 00:07:35.413
- They're going to do their best.
- 00:07:35.413 --> 00:07:36.614
- I mean, let's not forget
- 00:07:36.614 --> 00:07:37.782
- Washington post, new york times, they want pulitzers
- 00:07:37.782 --> 00:07:41.052
- For their coverage of of the russian collusion story.
- 00:07:41.052 --> 00:07:43.555
- I believe it was in 2018.
- 00:07:43.555 --> 00:07:45.723
- And so when i say they're coconspirators,
- 00:07:45.723 --> 00:07:47.625
- They were part and parcel of actually fomenting
- 00:07:47.625 --> 00:07:50.461
- And amplifying this narrative
- 00:07:50.461 --> 00:07:52.397
- That somehow donald trump was a traitor to his country.
- 00:07:52.397 --> 00:07:55.600
- So the last thing that
- 00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:56.768
- They actually want to do is have a deeper conversation
- 00:07:56.768 --> 00:08:00.338
- About what actually took place.
- 00:08:00.338 --> 00:08:02.040
- And they will they will attempt another conspiracy of silence,
- 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:06.444
- A conspiracy of silence about joe biden's health.
- 00:08:06.444 --> 00:08:08.947
- I think they're going to attempt another conspiracy of silence
- 00:08:08.947 --> 00:08:12.216
- About barack obama and their role in that attempt
- 00:08:12.216 --> 00:08:15.887
- To take out donald trump, so i do not expect them
- 00:08:15.887 --> 00:08:19.958
- In any way to cover this,
- 00:08:19.958 --> 00:08:21.826
- In a meaningful way because of the of what they will
- 00:08:21.826 --> 00:08:25.063
- In be implicated in themselves.
- 00:08:25.063 --> 00:08:27.832
- Well, ned, please stay with us for another segment.
- 00:08:28.833 --> 00:08:30.902
- I want to get into how this ties
- 00:08:30.902 --> 00:08:32.170
- Into the book you released this spring.
- 00:08:32.170 --> 00:08:34.305
- If you don't have it yet, it's called american leviathan.
- 00:08:34.305 --> 00:08:37.575
- And in it, you'll find all sorts
- 00:08:37.575 --> 00:08:39.043
- Of inspiration on how to take on the beltway driven authority,
- 00:08:39.043 --> 00:08:42.847
- What america was really built to be run by you, the people.
- 00:08:42.847 --> 00:08:46.284
- I'll be right back.
- 00:08:46.751 --> 00:08:54.009
- I'll be right back.
- 00:08:54.009 --> 00:08:58.964
- We're back now with the ceo of american majority
- 00:08:59.965 --> 00:09:03.035
- And the author of american leviathan.
- 00:09:03.035 --> 00:09:06.071
- You've reminded every american who's read your book
- 00:09:06.071 --> 00:09:08.340
- That this country is at its best when it's a government.
- 00:09:08.340 --> 00:09:11.477
- And i quote of, by and for the american people
- 00:09:11.477 --> 00:09:15.047
- Rather than a faceless machine in washington.
- 00:09:15.047 --> 00:09:18.183
- Do you see some of the change happening now with president
- 00:09:18.183 --> 00:09:20.653
- Trump in office?
- 00:09:20.653 --> 00:09:21.587
- I do, i'm actually very encouraged.
- 00:09:22.388 --> 00:09:25.024
- I mean, it's been an incredible six months.
- 00:09:25.024 --> 00:09:26.759
- I think it'll be real when we look back.
- 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.396
- Really a pivotal six months in the history of this country
- 00:09:30.396 --> 00:09:33.232
- In which we have right on the ship,
- 00:09:33.232 --> 00:09:34.967
- And we're headed in the right direction.
- 00:09:34.967 --> 00:09:36.869
- Still a lot of work that needs to be done.
- 00:09:36.869 --> 00:09:39.171
- But i think that the some of the things that encouraged me.
- 00:09:39.171 --> 00:09:42.374
- You know, he's won some cases in front of the supreme court
- 00:09:42.374 --> 00:09:45.644
- In which they've now cleared him to continue down the path
- 00:09:45.644 --> 00:09:49.148
- Of shutting down the department of education,
- 00:09:49.148 --> 00:09:51.050
- Which which is a huge step in the right direction in which
- 00:09:51.050 --> 00:09:53.886
- He should be able to shut that entire department down.
- 00:09:53.886 --> 00:09:56.488
- I would like to see him implode the building,
- 00:09:56.488 --> 00:09:58.057
- Of course, with nobody in it.
- 00:09:58.057 --> 00:09:59.458
- Raise it to the ground and build his garden of heroes.
- 00:09:59.458 --> 00:10:02.394
- Park over that because it'd be highly symbolic like we are.
- 00:10:02.394 --> 00:10:05.664
- We have finished the administrative state.
- 00:10:05.664 --> 00:10:07.733
- We are restoring the republic again.
- 00:10:07.733 --> 00:10:09.968
- But then i want him to continue going.
- 00:10:09.968 --> 00:10:12.304
- Alan, in that same direction.
- 00:10:12.304 --> 00:10:13.706
- Hud should be next.
- 00:10:13.706 --> 00:10:15.641
- Other departments and agencies.
- 00:10:15.641 --> 00:10:17.476
- He has to break apart
- 00:10:17.476 --> 00:10:18.610
- The administrative state and reduce, this bureaucracy
- 00:10:18.610 --> 00:10:22.114
- By as much as possible in the four years that he has.
- 00:10:22.114 --> 00:10:24.683
- You won't be fully successful.
- 00:10:24.683 --> 00:10:25.984
- I mean, this has been 100 plus years in the making,
- 00:10:25.984 --> 00:10:28.387
- But he has to completely destroy the idea that the rule of the
- 00:10:28.387 --> 00:10:31.957
- Bureaucrat is an acceptable form of governance in this country,
- 00:10:31.957 --> 00:10:35.694
- And that he wants to restore
- 00:10:35.694 --> 00:10:36.762
- Representative government,
- 00:10:36.762 --> 00:10:37.863
- That he wants to restore representative democracy.
- 00:10:37.863 --> 00:10:40.699
- And i think he's headed in the right direction.
- 00:10:40.699 --> 00:10:42.668
- I will say this.
- 00:10:42.668 --> 00:10:43.902
- There have been about 22,000 federal employees that have left
- 00:10:43.902 --> 00:10:47.406
- The government in the first six months.
- 00:10:47.406 --> 00:10:49.508
- It's a move in the right direction.
- 00:10:49.508 --> 00:10:50.976
- But until we get to 800,000,
- 00:10:50.976 --> 00:10:53.278
- I'm not going to be happy.
- 00:10:53.846 --> 00:10:54.847
- And i say that with a very specific
- 00:10:54.847 --> 00:10:56.582
- Thought in mind, those that is the number
- 00:10:56.582 --> 00:10:59.284
- That has been identified
- 00:10:59.284 --> 00:11:00.452
- As the non-essential federal employees, 800,000.
- 00:11:00.452 --> 00:11:03.589
- So that, to me is the goal.
- 00:11:03.589 --> 00:11:04.890
- How do you reduce the federal government
- 00:11:04.890 --> 00:11:06.492
- By a hundred thousand, remove all the non-essentials,
- 00:11:06.492 --> 00:11:09.261
- And then, more importantly,
- 00:11:09.261 --> 00:11:10.863
- Put those bureaucrats under the direction of
- 00:11:10.863 --> 00:11:14.133
- And working on behalf of the
- 00:11:14.133 --> 00:11:15.701
- Duly elected representatives of the american people.
- 00:11:15.701 --> 00:11:19.605
- You know,
- 00:11:19.905 --> 00:11:20.873
- So much has gotten done since we last talked
- 00:11:20.873 --> 00:11:22.941
- To try to avoid higher tariffs.
- 00:11:22.941 --> 00:11:24.376
- China's having some of what
- 00:11:24.376 --> 00:11:25.511
- It usually produces, in this case, lawn chairs
- 00:11:25.511 --> 00:11:28.313
- Being made on their behalf in vietnam
- 00:11:28.313 --> 00:11:30.716
- And countries that haven't settled
- 00:11:30.716 --> 00:11:32.050
- Their tariff deals,
- 00:11:32.050 --> 00:11:33.085
- Or saying that president trump's not going to sit
- 00:11:33.085 --> 00:11:34.586
- Still while they try to push americans out of work rights.
- 00:11:34.586 --> 00:11:37.589
- Taking time.
- 00:11:37.589 --> 00:11:38.557
- But as the treasury secretary has explained,
- 00:11:38.557 --> 00:11:40.559
- They're reversing years of bad policy.
- 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.495
- Listen to how he put it.
- 00:11:43.495 --> 00:11:44.963
- President trump has created maximum leverage
- 00:11:44.963 --> 00:11:48.267
- As only he can do.
- 00:11:48.267 --> 00:11:49.835
- And what we are seeing is like these imbalances
- 00:11:49.835 --> 00:11:53.772
- Built up over 20, 30, 40 years, and we are more concerned
- 00:11:53.772 --> 00:11:58.911
- With high quality deals than getting these deals
- 00:11:58.911 --> 00:12:02.781
- Done by august 1st.
- 00:12:02.781 --> 00:12:05.517
- The treasury secretary has
- 00:12:06.084 --> 00:12:07.319
- Also said that a lot of new deals
- 00:12:07.319 --> 00:12:09.254
- Will be announced in the coming days.
- 00:12:09.254 --> 00:12:11.323
- Can we assume that
- 00:12:11.323 --> 00:12:12.491
- This will resonate with voters next year in the midterms?
- 00:12:12.491 --> 00:12:15.561
- I think so.
- 00:12:15.894 --> 00:12:16.829
- I think obviously the panic and, in april
- 00:12:16.829 --> 00:12:20.465
- That we were thinking the sky was falling,
- 00:12:20.465 --> 00:12:22.968
- That this was going to bring on a recession were, of course,
- 00:12:22.968 --> 00:12:25.337
- Clearly wrong.
- 00:12:25.337 --> 00:12:26.939
- As we see the market coming back.
- 00:12:26.939 --> 00:12:28.774
- And i couldn't be happier with what trump and scott besson
- 00:12:28.774 --> 00:12:32.411
- Are doing in writing and as as scott besson
- 00:12:32.411 --> 00:12:35.714
- So rightly said, this is this has been decades in the making.
- 00:12:35.714 --> 00:12:39.184
- You're not going to fix it overnight.
- 00:12:39.184 --> 00:12:40.986
- But i do
- 00:12:40.986 --> 00:12:42.187
- Think we're already starting to see some of the returns,
- 00:12:42.187 --> 00:12:45.457
- On this approach in which we're trying to level
- 00:12:45.457 --> 00:12:47.226
- The playing field on terrible trade deals.
- 00:12:47.226 --> 00:12:49.428
- We're trying to bring back manufacturing,
- 00:12:49.428 --> 00:12:51.697
- Trying to bring back u.s. jobs.
- 00:12:51.697 --> 00:12:53.732
- I think you're going to be able to see some of that effect
- 00:12:53.732 --> 00:12:57.069
- By next summer, going into the fall,
- 00:12:57.069 --> 00:12:59.771
- In which you'll see a lot of the effect of these policies
- 00:12:59.771 --> 00:13:02.875
- Coming into to fruition.
- 00:13:02.875 --> 00:13:05.010
- And i think you're going to see, i would hope,
- 00:13:05.010 --> 00:13:06.945
- A pretty strong economy as well, because that's going to be
- 00:13:06.945 --> 00:13:09.514
- Those are going to be huge, have a huge impact
- 00:13:09.514 --> 00:13:11.617
- On the midterms
- 00:13:11.617 --> 00:13:12.684
- In addition to some of the other,
- 00:13:12.684 --> 00:13:14.086
- You know, functional things of how we win or lose elections.
- 00:13:14.086 --> 00:13:16.655
- But if the narrative is good on the economy and the tariffs
- 00:13:16.655 --> 00:13:19.758
- And all the other economic policies of trump,
- 00:13:19.758 --> 00:13:22.361
- You know, i'm optimistic we'll keep the house
- 00:13:22.361 --> 00:13:24.129
- And the senate in the midterms.
- 00:13:24.129 --> 00:13:25.631
- Well, there's a report this morning
- 00:13:26.431 --> 00:13:27.766
- That the republican national committee has a very big lead
- 00:13:27.766 --> 00:13:30.802
- On the democrats, the rnc with more than $80 million
- 00:13:30.802 --> 00:13:34.606
- For campaigns, the dnc with only 15 million.
- 00:13:34.606 --> 00:13:37.809
- What's that sort of do you think they'll
- 00:13:38.677 --> 00:13:41.046
- They'll keep that for 2026?
- 00:13:41.046 --> 00:13:43.982
- Well, someone some of us have theorized that,
- 00:13:43.982 --> 00:13:46.318
- Pretty interesting when you shut down usaid
- 00:13:46.318 --> 00:13:49.187
- And other, entities that were clearly laundering
- 00:13:49.187 --> 00:13:51.757
- Efforts by the left to fund their private, pet project.
- 00:13:51.757 --> 00:13:55.093
- I don't know who knows where that money was ending up,
- 00:13:55.093 --> 00:13:57.262
- But it is kind of startling to see
- 00:13:57.262 --> 00:13:59.097
- Such a staggering difference between the rnc and the dnc.
- 00:13:59.097 --> 00:14:03.268
- You know, right now
- 00:14:03.735 --> 00:14:04.903
- I will say this,
- 00:14:04.903 --> 00:14:06.071
- It's going to come down to what is the narrative,
- 00:14:06.071 --> 00:14:07.606
- What are the stories
- 00:14:07.606 --> 00:14:08.507
- That we just discussed on on the economy
- 00:14:08.507 --> 00:14:10.208
- And jobs and manufacturing, all these things.
- 00:14:10.208 --> 00:14:12.744
- But it's also going to be
- 00:14:12.744 --> 00:14:13.545
- A, something where the rnc is going
- 00:14:13.545 --> 00:14:15.781
- To have to focus on doing the right things
- 00:14:15.781 --> 00:14:17.549
- And building out the numbers that lead to success,
- 00:14:17.549 --> 00:14:19.985
- Which i certainly hope they're going
- 00:14:19.985 --> 00:14:21.553
- To be plowing some money into voter registration,
- 00:14:21.553 --> 00:14:23.855
- Building up ballot universes,
- 00:14:23.855 --> 00:14:25.724
- Especially in those key house districts.
- 00:14:25.724 --> 00:14:27.426
- It's going to come down to 16
- 00:14:27.426 --> 00:14:28.560
- Or 20 key house races next year to decide the majority.
- 00:14:28.560 --> 00:14:31.930
- So, you know, i'm optimistic with the fundraising
- 00:14:31.930 --> 00:14:34.800
- Going as well, not only for the rnc but for maga inc.
- 00:14:34.800 --> 00:14:37.936
- I believe trump, they announced about 900 million cash on hand.
- 00:14:37.936 --> 00:14:42.007
- So there's a lot of firepower and resources
- 00:14:42.007 --> 00:14:44.376
- That i hope will be used effectively next year
- 00:14:44.376 --> 00:14:46.445
- On the right things that will lead to success.
- 00:14:46.445 --> 00:14:48.613
- But if we've got the narrative right
- 00:14:48.613 --> 00:14:50.382
- And the story right and are investing in the right
- 00:14:50.382 --> 00:14:52.451
- Things like voter registration, absentee ballots
- 00:14:52.451 --> 00:14:55.220
- And then absentee ballot
- 00:14:55.220 --> 00:14:56.488
- Chase and early vote projects in the right house districts.
- 00:14:56.488 --> 00:14:59.524
- I'm optimistic we keep the house in the senate.
- 00:14:59.524 --> 00:15:02.127
- Well, one last question before we run out of time.
- 00:15:03.128 --> 00:15:05.630
- Your organization is called american majority,
- 00:15:05.630 --> 00:15:08.166
- And it seems especially well named
- 00:15:08.166 --> 00:15:09.701
- Because a lot of polls show that you are in the majority,
- 00:15:09.701 --> 00:15:13.205
- And that could even grow over the next several years
- 00:15:13.205 --> 00:15:15.674
- Based on what i'm seeing from the left.
- 00:15:15.674 --> 00:15:17.676
- How do you see the future for conservatives
- 00:15:17.676 --> 00:15:19.611
- And people who love this country and believe in its traditions?
- 00:15:19.611 --> 00:15:23.315
- You know, it's going to be one of those things
- 00:15:23.315 --> 00:15:24.616
- I'm actually writing a lot about.
- 00:15:24.616 --> 00:15:25.984
- Of the out of the book came a documentary, american
- 00:15:25.984 --> 00:15:28.754
- Leviathan, came a substack american leviathan.com.
- 00:15:28.754 --> 00:15:31.990
- And i'm beginning.
- 00:15:32.424 --> 00:15:33.191
- I'm continuing that conversation.
- 00:15:33.191 --> 00:15:34.626
- So i'd encourage people
- 00:15:34.626 --> 00:15:35.694
- Go to american leviathan.com, join the substack.
- 00:15:35.694 --> 00:15:38.830
- But i'm really talking about
- 00:15:38.830 --> 00:15:40.499
- How do you bring about restoration,
- 00:15:40.499 --> 00:15:42.200
- How do we restore the republic,
- 00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:43.769
- How do we end the administrative state?
- 00:15:43.769 --> 00:15:45.904
- And it's not just rhetoric, it's real focused action
- 00:15:45.904 --> 00:15:49.775
- And activities
- 00:15:49.775 --> 00:15:51.209
- In which we have to be building towards political power,
- 00:15:51.209 --> 00:15:54.479
- To have the right people in the right place
- 00:15:54.479 --> 00:15:56.148
- To implement the right policy.
- 00:15:56.148 --> 00:15:57.949
- And the only way you can achieve that is by investing
- 00:15:57.949 --> 00:16:00.252
- In those right numbers that i was just discussing.
- 00:16:00.252 --> 00:16:02.621
- And so,
- 00:16:02.621 --> 00:16:03.522
- You know, it's one of those things where
- 00:16:03.522 --> 00:16:04.923
- We have the right ideas alone.
- 00:16:04.923 --> 00:16:06.391
- We have the ideas that have made
- 00:16:06.391 --> 00:16:07.459
- Us the most successful nation on earth.
- 00:16:07.459 --> 00:16:09.594
- But unless we actually focus
- 00:16:09.594 --> 00:16:11.029
- On the right things to hold that political power,
- 00:16:11.029 --> 00:16:12.831
- To have people in the right place to implement policy,
- 00:16:12.831 --> 00:16:15.534
- We're not going to be able to fully
- 00:16:15.534 --> 00:16:17.235
- Maximize this moment in time.
- 00:16:17.235 --> 00:16:18.837
- So i'm encouraging people,
- 00:16:18.837 --> 00:16:20.305
- Hands to the plow, nose to the grindstone.
- 00:16:20.305 --> 00:16:23.141
- If you truly believe in the repu
- 00:16:23.141 --> 00:16:27.846
- We know where we need to go.
- 00:16:28.447 --> 00:16:29.648
- There's a lot of hard work that needs to be done,
- 00:16:29.648 --> 00:16:31.383
- But i'm optimistic we can accomplish it.
- 00:16:31.383 --> 00:16:34.753
- Amen.
- 00:16:34.986 --> 00:16:36.054
- Well, ryan, it's always a pleasure to have you on.
- 00:16:36.054 --> 00:16:37.789
- Please stay in touch.
- 00:16:37.789 --> 00:16:39.724
- Thanks, alan.
- 00:16:39.724 --> 00:16:40.959
- In a moment, some hopeful thoughts of my own.
- 00:16:40.959 --> 00:16:43.361
- We'll be right back.
- 00:16:43.361 --> 00:16:51.003
- We'll be right back.
- 00:16:51.003 --> 00:16:55.741
- We are living through
- 00:16:56.242 --> 00:16:57.410
- A season of unprecedented manipulation and deception.
- 00:16:57.410 --> 00:17:00.713
- And it's not just a recent phenomenon.
- 00:17:00.713 --> 00:17:03.249
- We've seen the deterioration of trust
- 00:17:03.249 --> 00:17:05.017
- In places that i thought were cornerstones of trust.
- 00:17:05.017 --> 00:17:08.421
- We saw the fisa court sign off
- 00:17:08.421 --> 00:17:09.956
- On a surveillance of a presidential candidate,
- 00:17:09.956 --> 00:17:12.425
- Which, in my thinking, was pretty close
- 00:17:12.425 --> 00:17:13.926
- To unprecedented in american history.
- 00:17:13.926 --> 00:17:16.329
- The cdc stated emphatically to follow the science.
- 00:17:16.329 --> 00:17:20.733
- But what gave me pause was science.
- 00:17:20.733 --> 00:17:22.435
- Does it change at a state line?
- 00:17:22.435 --> 00:17:24.337
- The science in tennessee should be the same
- 00:17:24.337 --> 00:17:26.038
- As science in california or the science in new jersey.
- 00:17:26.038 --> 00:17:28.975
- And it wasn't.
- 00:17:28.975 --> 00:17:30.376
- Doctor fauci was quick to dismiss the idea
- 00:17:30.376 --> 00:17:32.378
- That covid could have originated from a lab in wuhan, china,
- 00:17:32.378 --> 00:17:35.715
- Saying scientific evidence showed
- 00:17:35.715 --> 00:17:37.450
- The virus could not have been manmade.
- 00:17:37.450 --> 00:17:40.319
- This is the same doctor fauci who once stated, and i quote,
- 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:43.189
- Attacks on me are, quite frankly, attacks on science.
- 00:17:43.189 --> 00:17:46.893
- Or recently had the one year anniversary of the assassination
- 00:17:46.893 --> 00:17:49.695
- Attempt with then candidate trump in butler, pennsylvania.
- 00:17:49.695 --> 00:17:53.666
- There's still major gaps in the information that were given.
- 00:17:53.666 --> 00:17:56.836
- We don't know how much of former president could have been left
- 00:17:56.836 --> 00:17:59.906
- So vulnerable to such an attack.
- 00:17:59.906 --> 00:18:03.042
- And now the director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard,
- 00:18:03.042 --> 00:18:05.745
- Has brought to light something deeply troubling.
- 00:18:05.745 --> 00:18:08.347
- It's documents that show
- 00:18:08.347 --> 00:18:09.549
- Obama era officials knowingly manufactured intelligence
- 00:18:09.549 --> 00:18:13.286
- And then handed it off
- 00:18:13.286 --> 00:18:14.453
- To their allies in the media to run with it.
- 00:18:14.453 --> 00:18:17.557
- We have to understand this season in spiritual terms.
- 00:18:17.557 --> 00:18:20.359
- This isn't just a political issue.
- 00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:22.328
- Truth matters. integrity matters.
- 00:18:22.328 --> 00:18:25.498
- Unfortunately, we can't just blame the government.
- 00:18:25.498 --> 00:18:27.433
- The church is left
- 00:18:27.433 --> 00:18:28.501
- Much to be desired because we don't want to talk
- 00:18:28.501 --> 00:18:30.403
- About current events.
- 00:18:30.403 --> 00:18:32.205
- We can't expect the government to be truthful and forthright
- 00:18:32.205 --> 00:18:34.740
- If we sit passively in our churches,
- 00:18:34.740 --> 00:18:36.976
- Only wanting to discuss first century culture to move forward.
- 00:18:36.976 --> 00:18:41.113
- We have to decide to engage and impact our culture
- 00:18:41.113 --> 00:18:44.016
- With our biblical worldview and biblical truth.
- 00:18:44.016 --> 00:18:47.253
- We'll be right back with your emails.
- 00:18:47.253 --> 00:18:56.007
- We'll be right back with your emails.
- 00:18:56.007 --> 00:18:59.666
- Thank you for spending a few minutes with us this evening.
- 00:19:00.834 --> 00:19:03.136
- If you ever miss an episode live.
- 00:19:03.136 --> 00:19:04.972
- You can always go to aj now.com.
- 00:19:04.972 --> 00:19:07.241
- There's a full archive there of every program.
- 00:19:07.241 --> 00:19:09.176
- Makes it easy to share with the friend.
- 00:19:09.176 --> 00:19:11.144
- Your emails are always a highlight.
- 00:19:11.144 --> 00:19:13.247
- Judy. be noted.
- 00:19:13.247 --> 00:19:14.381
- I have followed
- 00:19:14.381 --> 00:19:15.382
- Fox's bible reading plan for the last few years.
- 00:19:15.382 --> 00:19:17.851
- I just finished joshua and i'm now in judges.
- 00:19:17.851 --> 00:19:20.454
- God help them conquer the land he promised them.
- 00:19:20.454 --> 00:19:22.889
- They settled.
- 00:19:22.889 --> 00:19:23.924
- Everything is good and they turn away from him
- 00:19:23.924 --> 00:19:26.360
- Now again and judges.
- 00:19:26.360 --> 00:19:27.394
- The cycle continues.
- 00:19:27.394 --> 00:19:29.196
- Well, things are getting better in the us now, thanks to god.
- 00:19:29.196 --> 00:19:31.632
- Will the same cycle happen here?
- 00:19:31.632 --> 00:19:34.468
- Well, there seems to be a pattern
- 00:19:34.468 --> 00:19:35.669
- In the hearts of god's people, but the part
- 00:19:35.669 --> 00:19:37.371
- That we have influence over is our generation.
- 00:19:37.371 --> 00:19:40.340
- So let's make the declaration that joshua did.
- 00:19:40.340 --> 00:19:42.476
- As for me, in my house, we'll serve the lord.
- 00:19:42.476 --> 00:19:45.012
- If enough of us will do that,
- 00:19:45.012 --> 00:19:46.280
- We'll continue to see god's blessings.
- 00:19:46.280 --> 00:19:48.682
- And then, as commented on a youtube.
- 00:19:49.483 --> 00:19:51.251
- I wanted to sound safe and debt free nation
- 00:19:51.251 --> 00:19:53.587
- For my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
- 00:19:53.587 --> 00:19:56.823
- I hope this nation is returning to god with better education
- 00:19:56.823 --> 00:19:59.359
- And a strong economy.
- 00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:00.861
- Just once,
- 00:20:00.861 --> 00:20:01.828
- I'd love to see both parties work together
- 00:20:01.828 --> 00:20:03.764
- On at least one thing before i die.
- 00:20:03.764 --> 00:20:06.433
- I grew up in a country proud to be citizens of the usa
- 00:20:06.433 --> 00:20:09.202
- And placing our trust in god, not government.
- 00:20:09.202 --> 00:20:12.506
- Well, i can share that dream with you
- 00:20:13.307 --> 00:20:15.242
- And i think it will begin, quite honestly,
- 00:20:15.242 --> 00:20:17.010
- In the hearts of god's people.
- 00:20:17.010 --> 00:20:18.845
- If we will turn our faces to the lord again,
- 00:20:18.845 --> 00:20:20.947
- I think we'll see that reflected
- 00:20:20.947 --> 00:20:22.349
- In the people that we send to washington, d.c.
- 00:20:22.349 --> 00:20:25.485
- And sarah said, i love watching your programing
- 00:20:25.485 --> 00:20:27.454
- Every night of the week.
- 00:20:27.454 --> 00:20:28.388
- I only wish your show was an hour long.
- 00:20:28.388 --> 00:20:30.791
- Well, sarah, some days i wish that in
- 00:20:30.791 --> 00:20:32.726
- Some days i'm happy that it's 30 minutes.
- 00:20:32.726 --> 00:20:34.561
- So you pray.
- 00:20:34.561 --> 00:20:35.662
- If the network says yes, we'll have the discussion.
- 00:20:35.662 --> 00:20:38.765
- I'm alan jackson, you have a wonderful evening.
- 00:20:38.765 --> 00:20:38.765
