Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: February 4, 2025 | Allen Jackson Now | February 4, 2025

Well good evening,
00:00:02.828 --> 00:00:03.862
I'm alan jackson, and welcome back to nashville.
00:00:03.862 --> 00:00:06.631
If there was ever any doubt that president trump
00:00:06.631 --> 00:00:08.767
Would try to put a real border back up around america,
00:00:08.767 --> 00:00:11.703
There's no doubt now.
00:00:11.703 --> 00:00:13.305
And there's absolutely no question
00:00:13.305 --> 00:00:15.140
That he meant what he said when he promised to capture
00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:17.576
And deport gang members and violent criminals.
00:00:17.576 --> 00:00:20.545
In just a few weeks, president trump has arrested
00:00:20.545 --> 00:00:22.981
And deported thousands of bad guys.
00:00:22.981 --> 00:00:25.917
The word is clearly out.
00:00:25.917 --> 00:00:27.185
Don't try to walk into the united states
00:00:27.185 --> 00:00:29.087
Unless you do it the right way, the legal way.
00:00:29.087 --> 00:00:31.923
Otherwise, you're not welcome.
00:00:31.923 --> 00:00:33.892
It's a big change from the previous administration.
00:00:33.892 --> 00:00:36.561
Here's what's happened already.
00:00:36.561 --> 00:00:37.929
It's quite a list.
00:00:37.929 --> 00:00:39.297
The new borders are.
00:00:39.297 --> 00:00:40.298
Tom homan has been leading the charge
00:00:40.298 --> 00:00:42.234
From the time president trump was sworn in,
00:00:42.234 --> 00:00:44.469
And on location for much of the work.
00:00:44.469 --> 00:00:47.172
The rest are being handled by federal, state and local
00:00:47.172 --> 00:00:49.608
Authorities working together for a change.
00:00:49.608 --> 00:00:52.744
The new secretary of homeland security, kristi noem.
00:00:52.744 --> 00:00:55.514
She began working in the field on the arrest the morning
00:00:55.514 --> 00:00:58.283
After she was approved by the senate in new york city.
00:00:58.283 --> 00:01:01.653
The leader of the
00:01:01.653 --> 00:01:02.754
Venezuelan gang trend, arugula, was arrested by ice.
00:01:02.754 --> 00:01:06.158
His name is anderson zambrano pacheco,
00:01:06.158 --> 00:01:08.593
And he faces multiple charges across the u.s.
00:01:08.593 --> 00:01:11.863
In chicago.
00:01:12.197 --> 00:01:12.864
Ice also arrested sam cena.
00:01:12.864 --> 00:01:14.833
He's a thai national and a convicted child sex offender
00:01:14.833 --> 00:01:18.136
In boston.
00:01:18.436 --> 00:01:19.371
Ice arrested
00:01:19.371 --> 00:01:20.605
Several members of the ms13 gang wanted for murder and rape.
00:01:20.605 --> 00:01:24.176
Another was a haitian national with 17 prior convictions.
00:01:24.176 --> 00:01:27.979
So many have been picked up
00:01:28.580 --> 00:01:29.681
That gitmo is going to
00:01:29.681 --> 00:01:30.682
Be reopened to house those who are captured.
00:01:30.682 --> 00:01:33.652
That list,
00:01:33.652 --> 00:01:34.886
It goes on, and i'm certain it will continue to grow each week.
00:01:34.886 --> 00:01:37.622
No one knows how many people are
00:01:38.256 --> 00:01:39.624
Here illegally or how many are involved in crime.
00:01:39.624 --> 00:01:42.694
The numbers seem to run from 13 to 20 million.
00:01:42.694 --> 00:01:46.398
Tom homan and kristi noem,
00:01:46.398 --> 00:01:48.233
They have a big job ahead of them.
00:01:48.233 --> 00:01:50.435
Well, charles
00:01:50.435 --> 00:01:51.436
Marino knows something about that line of work.
00:01:51.436 --> 00:01:53.705
As the former homeland security advisor
00:01:53.705 --> 00:01:55.807
And a secret service special agent.
00:01:55.807 --> 00:01:58.243
Welcome back to the show, charles.
00:01:58.243 --> 00:02:01.079
Good to be back.
00:02:01.479 --> 00:02:02.080
Good to see you, pastor.
00:02:02.080 --> 00:02:03.949
Exciting days to watch.
00:02:03.949 --> 00:02:05.817
Let's begin with the new and powerful use of force
00:02:05.817 --> 00:02:08.687
And intelligence to find the criminals.
00:02:08.687 --> 00:02:11.089
Have you ever seen anything like what's going on now?
00:02:11.089 --> 00:02:14.993
I'll tell you.
00:02:15.327 --> 00:02:15.994
You're, you're exactly right.
00:02:15.994 --> 00:02:17.696
When you said the president says
00:02:17.696 --> 00:02:19.431
What he means and means what he says.
00:02:19.431 --> 00:02:21.766
Because i haven't, this is well organized,
00:02:21.766 --> 00:02:25.370
Well executed,
00:02:25.370 --> 00:02:27.072
And it truly is going after those that have made their way
00:02:27.072 --> 00:02:30.408
Into the country, that are extremely dangerous.
00:02:30.408 --> 00:02:33.712
They're criminals.
00:02:33.712 --> 00:02:34.579
They're national security threats.
00:02:34.579 --> 00:02:37.082
And let's not forget the other important mission here
00:02:37.082 --> 00:02:39.751
That tom homan and kristi noem have.
00:02:39.751 --> 00:02:42.120
And that's defined
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:43.121
350,000 missing on accompanied minors
00:02:43.121 --> 00:02:47.158
That were ushered into the country and released by
00:02:47.158 --> 00:02:50.228
Health and human services under the biden administration.
00:02:50.228 --> 00:02:54.199
Or the pentagon, has been
00:02:54.766 --> 00:02:55.967
Directed to help secure the border.
00:02:55.967 --> 00:02:57.969
Do you think the border states are finally going to get
00:02:57.969 --> 00:02:59.804
What they need with the help of our military?
00:02:59.804 --> 00:03:03.275
Absolutely.
00:03:03.608 --> 00:03:04.442
And it's so great
00:03:04.442 --> 00:03:05.610
To see the state of texas and others working so well.
00:03:05.610 --> 00:03:08.647
Alongside them.
00:03:09.014 --> 00:03:10.181
The military is just one piece of this
00:03:10.181 --> 00:03:12.717
On the security of the border,
00:03:12.717 --> 00:03:14.252
As well as assisting with the logistics, involved
00:03:14.252 --> 00:03:17.555
With the deportation of these illegal migrants.
00:03:17.555 --> 00:03:20.592
But what i can tell you is the trump administration
00:03:20.592 --> 00:03:23.895
Is not only focusing on securing the border,
00:03:23.895 --> 00:03:26.898
They're also focused on correcting inept policies
00:03:26.898 --> 00:03:30.602
Which undermined our entire
00:03:30.602 --> 00:03:32.704
Homeland security apparatus during the biden administration.
00:03:32.704 --> 00:03:36.474
And they're doing away with those all factors,
00:03:36.474 --> 00:03:40.111
Those entitlements, to include the way the legal pathways
00:03:40.111 --> 00:03:44.282
Were being exploited into the united states.
00:03:44.282 --> 00:03:47.452
That's why they've done away with temporary protected status
00:03:47.452 --> 00:03:50.889
From venezuela, with which brought us trend arugula.
00:03:50.889 --> 00:03:54.993
And it's why they're cracking down on other asylum
00:03:54.993 --> 00:03:58.296
And parole claims, because all of those legal pathways
00:03:58.296 --> 00:04:02.600
Were allowed to be undone by the biden administration.
00:04:02.600 --> 00:04:06.871
Well, there's already been some progress
00:04:07.739 --> 00:04:09.474
Between the president's goals and our new congress.
00:04:09.474 --> 00:04:12.177
The lincoln riley bill was passed and signed.
00:04:12.177 --> 00:04:14.879
Listen to his comments.
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.282
Only after being released a third time.
00:04:17.282 --> 00:04:19.384
But the u.s.
00:04:19.384 --> 00:04:20.552
Law enforcement did this cold blooded criminal go out.
00:04:20.552 --> 00:04:23.922
And that fateful morning hunting for women
00:04:23.922 --> 00:04:27.625
On whom to pray. that's what he did.
00:04:27.625 --> 00:04:29.427
He hunted.
00:04:29.427 --> 00:04:30.261
He hunted. it was like a hunter.
00:04:30.261 --> 00:04:33.298
And we're going to shut up about the hunter is
00:04:33.298 --> 00:04:35.667
This horrific atrocity should never have been allowed
00:04:35.667 --> 00:04:38.203
To happen.
00:04:38.203 --> 00:04:39.270
And as president, i'm fighting every single day
00:04:39.270 --> 00:04:41.506
To ensure that such a tragedy never happens again.
00:04:41.506 --> 00:04:44.876
We don't want this to happen.
00:04:44.876 --> 00:04:48.913
Well, to make room for these criminals,
00:04:49.748 --> 00:04:51.349
The president has just decided to use the detention facility
00:04:51.349 --> 00:04:54.619
On guantanamo bay as a temporary holding place.
00:04:54.619 --> 00:04:57.789
It gets him out of the country so they can't harm people here.
00:04:57.789 --> 00:05:01.292
Seems like a good idea to me.
00:05:01.292 --> 00:05:04.362
It's a
00:05:04.562 --> 00:05:05.663
Good idea, especially when you don't have confidence
00:05:05.663 --> 00:05:07.866
In the countries that you would normally release them back to
00:05:07.866 --> 00:05:11.603
And their ability to maintain these dangerous people.
00:05:11.603 --> 00:05:15.607
And as in terms of being incarcerated.
00:05:15.607 --> 00:05:17.876
So guantanamo bay is already being used, in this fashion.
00:05:17.876 --> 00:05:23.114
And to expand that, makes a lot of sense.
00:05:23.114 --> 00:05:26.217
You know, it's
00:05:26.551 --> 00:05:27.719
Unfortunate what happened with blake and riley and, and,
00:05:27.719 --> 00:05:31.656
Jocelyn dungaree and, a whole host of other people,
00:05:31.656 --> 00:05:36.127
That lost their lives unnecessarily because these
00:05:36.127 --> 00:05:39.264
Dangerous criminals were allowed into the country.
00:05:39.264 --> 00:05:42.233
But what president trump
00:05:42.233 --> 00:05:43.501
Demonstrated is that the number one
00:05:43.501 --> 00:05:45.970
Job of the prisons of the united states, no matter what party
00:05:45.970 --> 00:05:49.040
You belong
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:50.141
To, is the safety and security of the american people.
00:05:50.141 --> 00:05:53.311
And during that event, he demonstrated that he's
00:05:53.311 --> 00:05:56.548
Going to do exactly that, prioritize
00:05:56.548 --> 00:05:59.184
Protecting the country and protecting the people.
00:05:59.184 --> 00:06:02.520
Well, the best information available is that individuals
00:06:03.655 --> 00:06:06.257
From more than 150 countries have attempted
00:06:06.257 --> 00:06:08.359
To cross into this country illegally.
00:06:08.359 --> 00:06:11.396
How much of that was accelerated during the past four years?
00:06:11.396 --> 00:06:14.299
And do you think that joe biden and kamala
00:06:14.299 --> 00:06:15.967
Harris wanted that to happen deliberately,
00:06:15.967 --> 00:06:18.503
Or do they just look the other way?
00:06:18.503 --> 00:06:21.940
Well, they look the other way
00:06:21.940 --> 00:06:23.141
Because they wanted it to happen deliberately.
00:06:23.141 --> 00:06:26.377
So, you know, that's my way of saying,
00:06:26.377 --> 00:06:29.013
They wanted to change the demographics
00:06:29.013 --> 00:06:30.915
Of the democratic party,
00:06:30.915 --> 00:06:32.484
Especially prior to the 2024 presidential election.
00:06:32.484 --> 00:06:36.354
And if you don't believe that anyone can go to c-span
00:06:36.354 --> 00:06:39.824
Or any other, youtube channel and type in
00:06:39.824 --> 00:06:43.595
When the district of columbia attempted
00:06:43.595 --> 00:06:45.763
To get the right to vote for illegal immigrants
00:06:45.763 --> 00:06:48.700
In this country, and democrats voted for it in favor of it
00:06:48.700 --> 00:06:53.004
Overwhelmingly, that was always the play.
00:06:53.004 --> 00:06:56.641
Sanctuary cities were also on board.
00:06:56.641 --> 00:06:58.943
We would see governor hochul out in new york talking about it.
00:06:58.943 --> 00:07:02.447
Governor pritzker talking about it in illinois.
00:07:02.447 --> 00:07:05.183
And ultimately, this was their plan.
00:07:05.183 --> 00:07:07.151
It didn't work the way they wanted it to.
00:07:07.151 --> 00:07:09.988
And so we've got to take action knowing that democrats
00:07:09.988 --> 00:07:12.891
Are willing to allow somebody that violated the law
00:07:12.891 --> 00:07:16.294
To come into this country, to then go on and have a say
00:07:16.294 --> 00:07:19.964
In any type of election in this country.
00:07:19.964 --> 00:07:22.901
It's really un-american.
00:07:22.901 --> 00:07:25.003
What feels like a betrayal of trust
00:07:25.003 --> 00:07:26.771
To me, and their first commitment
00:07:26.771 --> 00:07:28.072
Is to protect and defend. and they didn't do that.
00:07:28.072 --> 00:07:31.576
No. they totally abandoned their responsibility
00:07:32.510 --> 00:07:35.313
Not only to enforce the federal laws,
00:07:35.313 --> 00:07:38.483
Down on the border or with respect
00:07:38.483 --> 00:07:40.752
To the immigration laws of this country.
00:07:40.752 --> 00:07:43.922
They totally implemented policies that really undercut
00:07:43.922 --> 00:07:48.893
The efforts of federal, state, local law enforcement here.
00:07:48.893 --> 00:07:54.232
Not only did they fly in the face of common sense
00:07:54.232 --> 00:07:57.302
On how you go about national and homeland security,
00:07:57.302 --> 00:08:00.438
But it really undid the efforts of agencies like the fbi.
00:08:00.438 --> 00:08:05.777
Whose number one mission after september 11th, 2001,
00:08:05.777 --> 00:08:09.480
Became to prevent acts of terrorism.
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.517
And, you know, they're already looking
00:08:12.517 --> 00:08:14.052
For a needle in a haystack.
00:08:14.052 --> 00:08:15.520
And as you alluded to in your opening, and rightfully
00:08:15.520 --> 00:08:18.623
So, 2 million, plus got aways.
00:08:18.623 --> 00:08:21.826
We have no idea who these people are
00:08:21.826 --> 00:08:23.728
That came into the country.
00:08:23.728 --> 00:08:25.063
We have no idea about their backgrounds.
00:08:25.063 --> 00:08:26.965
So how many terrorists are in the country
00:08:26.965 --> 00:08:29.334
Roaming the streets right now?
00:08:29.334 --> 00:08:31.169
And that's what ice and tom homan and kristi noem
00:08:31.169 --> 00:08:34.038
Are worried about and trying to take care of right now.
00:08:34.038 --> 00:08:37.842
Will stay with us.
00:08:38.276 --> 00:08:39.310
There's a lot more to discuss.
00:08:39.310 --> 00:08:41.346
You can use the time to send me
00:08:41.346 --> 00:08:42.580
An email at comments at alan jackson now.com.
00:08:42.580 --> 00:08:45.817
We'll include your feedback in all our planning.
00:08:45.817 --> 00:08:48.453
We read an answer, many of them on air.
00:08:48.453 --> 00:08:50.855
We'll have more from charles marino in just a moment.
00:08:50.855 --> 00:09:00.001
We'll have more from charles marino in just a moment.
00:09:00.001 --> 00:09:01.834
We're back now with charles marino.
00:09:02.601 --> 00:09:04.870
He's the former advisor to homeland security and ceo
00:09:04.870 --> 00:09:08.007
Of his own firm, sentinel security solutions.
00:09:08.007 --> 00:09:11.744
I'd like to get your judgment on something the trump
00:09:12.778 --> 00:09:14.847
Administration is doing.
00:09:14.847 --> 00:09:16.148
It seems to be helping.
00:09:16.148 --> 00:09:17.883
They're allowing honest reporters
00:09:17.883 --> 00:09:19.485
To come along and videotape the new arrest,
00:09:19.485 --> 00:09:22.021
Not only does it show citizens
00:09:22.021 --> 00:09:23.422
What's happening to make their cities safer,
00:09:23.422 --> 00:09:25.758
But doesn't it also show the people
00:09:25.758 --> 00:09:27.559
Who are here illegally, and maybe those
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:29.561
Who are still thinking about an illegal entry
00:09:29.561 --> 00:09:31.830
That they might end up in handcuffs and prosecuted?
00:09:31.830 --> 00:09:34.633
Kristi noem spent her first day on the job out on a big arrest.
00:09:34.633 --> 00:09:38.303
Listen to this.
00:09:38.303 --> 00:09:39.571
We will do everything that we can
00:09:40.305 --> 00:09:42.141
To protect the american people.
00:09:42.141 --> 00:09:43.475
We have jurisdiction over people who live here,
00:09:43.475 --> 00:09:45.678
People who live here, and people who come here.
00:09:45.678 --> 00:09:48.013
We have jurisdiction over products
00:09:48.013 --> 00:09:49.415
That come into this country and which ones leave.
00:09:49.415 --> 00:09:51.884
We have jurisdiction over our internet,
00:09:51.884 --> 00:09:54.286
What comes in, what goes out,
00:09:54.286 --> 00:09:55.587
What kind of business has virtually.
00:09:55.587 --> 00:09:57.156
I tell people
00:09:57.156 --> 00:09:58.023
We have jurisdiction over everything,
00:09:58.023 --> 00:09:59.591
And we will exercise all legal authorities
00:09:59.591 --> 00:10:01.694
That we have to protect this country
00:10:01.694 --> 00:10:03.929
Because it is the only last light of freedom left.
00:10:03.929 --> 00:10:07.633
Do you think that it's good for her to be out in the field
00:10:08.767 --> 00:10:11.403
With her staff right off the bat?
00:10:11.403 --> 00:10:14.473
Absolutely.
00:10:14.807 --> 00:10:15.741
She leads the largest law enforcement
00:10:15.741 --> 00:10:18.077
Department in the country.
00:10:18.077 --> 00:10:19.645
It's bigger than the department of justice.
00:10:19.645 --> 00:10:21.780
So, you know, it's great for morale, for the troops
00:10:21.780 --> 00:10:24.883
To see her out there supporting their efforts.
00:10:24.883 --> 00:10:27.953
They know that this is a priority
00:10:27.953 --> 00:10:29.621
For the president, and they see no light
00:10:29.621 --> 00:10:32.024
Between what she's doing out there with them
00:10:32.024 --> 00:10:34.259
And what the white house is saying
00:10:34.259 --> 00:10:35.861
And what tom holman is saying.
00:10:35.861 --> 00:10:37.563
They're all one team.
00:10:37.563 --> 00:10:38.997
They're all on the same page.
00:10:38.997 --> 00:10:40.733
But i'll tell you this part,
00:10:40.733 --> 00:10:42.101
As far as having the press out there with them,
00:10:42.101 --> 00:10:44.269
I think it's great from a transparency standpoint,
00:10:44.269 --> 00:10:47.740
Because it eliminates the possibility
00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:50.209
Of the mainstream
00:10:50.209 --> 00:10:51.043
Media from distorting what
00:10:51.043 --> 00:10:52.978
These ice agents are doing out there.
00:10:52.978 --> 00:10:55.013
Ice has said time and time again,
00:10:55.013 --> 00:10:57.950
Especially with respect to these sanctuary cities
00:10:57.950 --> 00:11:00.652
And states, that they would rather just be assigning
00:11:00.652 --> 00:11:03.789
Ice officers to the local jails to identify easily
00:11:03.789 --> 00:11:08.861
Those that are committing crimes have been arrested,
00:11:08.861 --> 00:11:11.530
And therefore they could prioritize them for deportation
00:11:11.530 --> 00:11:14.700
When they go out.
00:11:14.700 --> 00:11:15.734
And sanctuary cities
00:11:15.734 --> 00:11:17.035
Where police departments are prevented
00:11:17.035 --> 00:11:19.304
For the most part from working with federal authorities,
00:11:19.304 --> 00:11:22.608
Specifically ice on immigration law,
00:11:22.608 --> 00:11:25.477
They have to search for federal resources
00:11:25.477 --> 00:11:28.447
To these communities, and as a result,
00:11:28.447 --> 00:11:31.650
The likelihood becomes higher that they're going to encounter
00:11:31.650 --> 00:11:35.888
Somebody who's in the country illegally, has committed
00:11:35.888 --> 00:11:39.191
That crime,
00:11:39.191 --> 00:11:40.292
But has not committed additional crimes and lock in.
00:11:40.292 --> 00:11:43.762
The initial crime has been committed.
00:11:43.762 --> 00:11:45.364
And these ice officers are not going to ignore that.
00:11:45.364 --> 00:11:48.867
So it increases the likelihood of more people
00:11:48.867 --> 00:11:52.671
That have not committed additional crimes in the country
00:11:52.671 --> 00:11:55.841
From being deported.
00:11:56.308 --> 00:11:58.277
Well, some media outlets are still not acknowledging
00:11:59.344 --> 00:12:02.047
The truth about the border issue
00:12:02.047 --> 00:12:03.882
And will criticize anything president trump tries to do.
00:12:03.882 --> 00:12:07.286
They think that's what they're declining voters want to hear.
00:12:07.286 --> 00:12:11.623
But what american would want to see criminals, traffickers
00:12:11.623 --> 00:12:14.626
And violent gangs freely coming
00:12:14.626 --> 00:12:16.528
Across our borders, infiltrating our cities
00:12:16.528 --> 00:12:19.531
Instead of the arrest and deportations
00:12:19.531 --> 00:12:21.366
That are taking place today?
00:12:21.366 --> 00:12:22.434
It just doesn't make sense to me.
00:12:22.434 --> 00:12:25.304
Well, they're on the wrong side of this.
00:12:25.304 --> 00:12:27.072
And i think more and more democrats,
00:12:27.072 --> 00:12:28.974
Especially at the local level,
00:12:28.974 --> 00:12:30.576
Are starting to learn that you saw, mayor london
00:12:30.576 --> 00:12:33.846
Breed out in san francisco, lose her job and be voted out
00:12:33.846 --> 00:12:37.616
Because of the deterioration in san francisco.
00:12:37.616 --> 00:12:41.053
Whether it's crime or illegal immigration and prioritizing
00:12:41.053 --> 00:12:44.857
Those needs of those individuals over
00:12:44.857 --> 00:12:48.060
Taxpaying citizens, in her city and state.
00:12:48.060 --> 00:12:51.830
So it's a problem.
00:12:51.830 --> 00:12:53.298
I think a lot of these elected officials know,
00:12:53.298 --> 00:12:57.402
That a lot of people, you know, during this last
00:12:57.402 --> 00:12:59.571
Presidential election said enough is enough.
00:12:59.571 --> 00:13:02.674
And, you know, this needs to be handled by the u.s.
00:13:02.674 --> 00:13:05.811
Government. they need to start enforcing the law.
00:13:05.811 --> 00:13:08.313
And i think for the most part,
00:13:08.313 --> 00:13:09.848
You're hearing very positive feedback from many,
00:13:09.848 --> 00:13:13.318
Including those that have legally immigrated
00:13:13.318 --> 00:13:15.921
To this country, saying that this is the right thing to do.
00:13:15.921 --> 00:13:20.359
Let's
00:13:20.592 --> 00:13:21.593
Say one sided media focus almost entirely on
00:13:21.593 --> 00:13:24.196
How some of those being deported have family or children here,
00:13:24.196 --> 00:13:28.033
As if it should be okay to commit crimes.
00:13:28.033 --> 00:13:30.135
But then declare that you need to remain out of jail
00:13:30.135 --> 00:13:32.738
To take care of your family.
00:13:32.738 --> 00:13:34.573
Will they ever become truthful about this dangerous mess?
00:13:34.573 --> 00:13:39.011
No they won't.
00:13:39.344 --> 00:13:40.078
There will be a
00:13:40.078 --> 00:13:41.313
Segment of the democratic party that just will not acknowledge
00:13:41.313 --> 00:13:44.549
The reality.
00:13:44.549 --> 00:13:45.784
And, you know, unfortunately, it comes down to the voters,
00:13:45.784 --> 00:13:49.454
In their districts.
00:13:49.454 --> 00:13:50.489
And some of these voters,
00:13:50.489 --> 00:13:52.791
Are not paying attention to where their their lives
00:13:52.791 --> 00:13:55.661
Are being impacted or they don't care.
00:13:55.661 --> 00:13:57.930
They certainly don't care
00:13:57.930 --> 00:13:59.431
What's going on with respect to the rest of the country.
00:13:59.431 --> 00:14:03.101
But i got to tell you, this crisis unprecedented,
00:14:03.101 --> 00:14:06.972
And the fact that this has happened
00:14:07.739 --> 00:14:09.942
And now you have president trump
00:14:09.942 --> 00:14:11.843
That has had to come into office and make this a priority
00:14:11.843 --> 00:14:16.081
And spend all of this money to now remove dangerous
00:14:16.081 --> 00:14:19.284
People from the country
00:14:19.284 --> 00:14:20.619
That should have never been allowed in the first place.
00:14:20.619 --> 00:14:23.655
But he's going to clean it up,
00:14:24.256 --> 00:14:25.657
And i think he's going to do the best job
00:14:25.657 --> 00:14:27.793
That he can with the resources that are there.
00:14:27.793 --> 00:14:31.663
Well, charles, it was great to have you on again.
00:14:31.663 --> 00:14:33.932
This process is going to go on for months, maybe years.
00:14:33.932 --> 00:14:37.102
I hope you can come back again soon for an update.
00:14:37.102 --> 00:14:40.605
Absolutely.
00:14:40.939 --> 00:14:41.840
Thanks for having me again. thank you.
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:44.643
When we come back, some thoughts of my own
00:14:44.643 --> 00:14:46.745
That i'd like to share as we continue to move forward
00:14:46.745 --> 00:14:49.114
In this new season for our nation.
00:14:49.114 --> 00:14:51.450
I'll be right back.
00:14:51.450 --> 00:14:58.001
I'll be right back.
00:14:58.001 --> 00:14:59.658
We've been talking illegal immigration and the people
00:15:00.726 --> 00:15:03.495
Who are in our nation without proper documentation.
00:15:03.495 --> 00:15:07.165
Well, the new administration is committed to a program
00:15:07.165 --> 00:15:09.501
Of deporting people who are here illegally,
00:15:09.501 --> 00:15:12.204
And there are many criminals.
00:15:12.204 --> 00:15:14.106
However, there are an enormous number of people who don't think
00:15:14.106 --> 00:15:16.742
That's a good idea, which is a bit intriguing to me.
00:15:16.742 --> 00:15:20.612
I'll give you the simplest version from my vantage point.
00:15:20.612 --> 00:15:23.782
Any conversation that begins with illegal means
00:15:23.782 --> 00:15:26.952
The conversation needs to be about more than just kindness.
00:15:26.952 --> 00:15:30.589
If you came into this country illegally,
00:15:30.589 --> 00:15:33.058
That has to be rectified before
00:15:33.058 --> 00:15:34.559
There's any further conversation.
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:36.828
Let's compare it to another aspect of our lives.
00:15:36.828 --> 00:15:39.164
If you're in the habit
00:15:39.164 --> 00:15:40.198
Of making withdrawals from the bank illegally,
00:15:40.198 --> 00:15:43.402
I object to that.
00:15:43.402 --> 00:15:44.669
No matter what circumstance
00:15:44.669 --> 00:15:46.238
You bring to me that follows the illegal withdrawal,
00:15:46.238 --> 00:15:49.741
That's still called stealing or robbing a bank.
00:15:49.741 --> 00:15:52.644
Well, you might say
00:15:53.111 --> 00:15:54.312
I made the illegal withdrawal because i had a real need.
00:15:54.312 --> 00:15:57.182
It's still illegal.
00:15:57.182 --> 00:15:58.784
Or i made the illegal withdrawal
00:15:58.784 --> 00:16:00.218
Because i was in a health crisis.
00:16:00.218 --> 00:16:02.120
It's still illegal.
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:03.655
And by the way, it wasn't your money.
00:16:03.655 --> 00:16:05.824
If it was your money, it's not an illegal withdrawal.
00:16:05.824 --> 00:16:08.794
You can withdraw your own money at any time.
00:16:08.794 --> 00:16:12.230
So you're taking something that belongs to someone else,
00:16:12.230 --> 00:16:14.766
Which means that you're determining
00:16:14.766 --> 00:16:16.268
That they should forfeit something
00:16:16.268 --> 00:16:18.170
Because you're putting your need in front of theirs.
00:16:18.170 --> 00:16:21.506
Well, i believe that same principle
00:16:21.506 --> 00:16:22.874
Applies to the debate around immigration.
00:16:22.874 --> 00:16:25.410
I don't believe it's fundamentally a political issue,
00:16:25.410 --> 00:16:28.413
And i don't believe it's a lack of compassion.
00:16:28.413 --> 00:16:31.683
I truly believe that is we as christ
00:16:31.683 --> 00:16:33.885
Followers, would use our voices appropriately.
00:16:33.885 --> 00:16:37.022
We can provide the moral clarity that our culture and society
00:16:37.022 --> 00:16:40.725
Sorely needs.
00:16:40.725 --> 00:16:42.594
We, as christ followers, have been silent for far too long.
00:16:42.594 --> 00:16:45.964
This isn't a political issue.
00:16:45.964 --> 00:16:47.799
It's an issue of the people of faith.
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:49.267
And we're going to need to use our voices
00:16:49.267 --> 00:16:51.236
If we'll do that, i assure you there's more reasons for hope
00:16:51.236 --> 00:16:54.840
Than despair.
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:56.074
I hope you'll stay with us when we return.
00:16:56.074 --> 00:16:57.809
We're going to turn the mic towards your emails.
00:16:57.809 --> 00:17:06.006
We're going to turn the mic towards your emails.
00:17:06.006 --> 00:17:08.488
Thank you for taking the time and making the effort
00:17:09.489 --> 00:17:11.457
To send us your emails, your thoughts and perspectives.
00:17:11.457 --> 00:17:14.427
They're important to us.
00:17:14.427 --> 00:17:16.028
Sheryl from texas wrote.
00:17:16.028 --> 00:17:17.296
Tom homan, straight to the point attitude regarding immigration
00:17:17.296 --> 00:17:20.500
Is so refreshing to hear and see.
00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:22.735
I believe your program
00:17:22.735 --> 00:17:23.636
Truly helped to make a difference,
00:17:23.636 --> 00:17:25.204
Giving us christians courage
00:17:25.204 --> 00:17:26.572
To speak out on the issue of immigration.
00:17:26.572 --> 00:17:29.542
Well, i believe it was the people
00:17:29.542 --> 00:17:31.244
In the heartland of america flyover country
00:17:31.244 --> 00:17:33.946
That went to the ballot boxes and express their opinions
00:17:33.946 --> 00:17:36.215
And said, we need a new direction
00:17:36.215 --> 00:17:38.084
That has brought this breath of fresh air to our nation.
00:17:38.084 --> 00:17:41.654
And truthfully, the nations around the world.
00:17:41.654 --> 00:17:43.789
Keep praying and keep using your voice.
00:17:43.789 --> 00:17:46.792
Glenna t from oneida, tennessee wrote.
00:17:46.792 --> 00:17:49.095
Thank you
00:17:49.095 --> 00:17:50.296
For addressing the issues with straightforward answers.
00:17:50.296 --> 00:17:52.532
Thank you for the informative
00:17:52.532 --> 00:17:53.633
Guest you have, especially nelson.
00:17:53.633 --> 00:17:55.301
By today.
00:17:55.301 --> 00:17:56.702
I fully support donald trump
00:17:56.702 --> 00:17:58.204
In the difficult job he has taken to save america.
00:17:58.204 --> 00:18:01.007
I look forward to your program every day.
00:18:01.007 --> 00:18:03.209
God bless you.
00:18:03.209 --> 00:18:04.944
Well, glenna, i'll join you.
00:18:04.944 --> 00:18:05.912
I'm very grateful for what president trump
00:18:05.912 --> 00:18:07.713
And the team he's assembled are doing.
00:18:07.713 --> 00:18:09.715
But at the end of the day, i believe it's
00:18:09.715 --> 00:18:11.250
The people of faith who have to make the changes.
00:18:11.250 --> 00:18:13.886
We have been silent for too long.
00:18:13.886 --> 00:18:15.655
We have been sedentary for too long.
00:18:15.655 --> 00:18:17.924
If we'll use our voices
00:18:17.924 --> 00:18:19.091
And express our opinions in our communities,
00:18:19.091 --> 00:18:20.993
In the spheres of influence that we have,
00:18:20.993 --> 00:18:23.429
I believe we will see god bless america again.
00:18:23.429 --> 00:18:27.400
Sally be from new jersey.
00:18:27.967 --> 00:18:29.569
Pastor allen, i enjoy
00:18:29.569 --> 00:18:30.870
Listening to your sermons, early mornings on tbn,
00:18:30.870 --> 00:18:34.073
And now with the new show in the evening, it's a win win.
00:18:34.073 --> 00:18:37.109
I have a concern about all the burned homes in california.
00:18:37.109 --> 00:18:40.046
How can we make sure these properties
00:18:40.046 --> 00:18:41.581
Are not going to be sold to a chinese government entity,
00:18:41.581 --> 00:18:44.550
The ones where the homeowners can't afford to rebuild?
00:18:44.550 --> 00:18:46.953
Thanks in advance and god bless.
00:18:46.953 --> 00:18:49.822
Well, sally, i think it's a legitimate question.
00:18:49.822 --> 00:18:51.891
I'd suggest two things one, keep praying.
00:18:51.891 --> 00:18:54.493
I believe those
00:18:54.493 --> 00:18:55.194
Prayers are an invitation to god
00:18:55.194 --> 00:18:56.729
Into the circumstances of our lives,
00:18:56.729 --> 00:18:58.798
And they truly change the future.
00:18:58.798 --> 00:19:01.567
The most hopeful note i've seen was president trump
00:19:01.567 --> 00:19:04.203
When he arrived in california,
00:19:04.203 --> 00:19:05.905
And he did that kind of roundtable discussion
00:19:05.905 --> 00:19:08.541
With the mayor and political leaders in the region.
00:19:08.541 --> 00:19:11.410
He made it really clear that an 18 month
00:19:11.410 --> 00:19:13.312
Delay for the homeowners was unacceptable.
00:19:13.312 --> 00:19:16.148
I thought he gave a masterclass in leadership.
00:19:16.148 --> 00:19:20.486
If you haven't seen it, ask rabbi google
00:19:20.486 --> 00:19:22.255
To help you find it. i think it'll bring hope.
00:19:22.255 --> 00:19:24.523
I don't believe the president will be silent
00:19:24.523 --> 00:19:26.359
While the politicians try to play a long game.
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.095
And finally, ron franklin in mississippi.
00:19:29.962 --> 00:19:32.598
I just watched you on praise and so was so very encouraged
00:19:32.598 --> 00:19:36.102
Not only by what you said there,
00:19:36.102 --> 00:19:37.803
But also because i heard things from you
00:19:37.803 --> 00:19:39.605
That i hear on alan jackson ministries and alan jackson.
00:19:39.605 --> 00:19:42.108
Now, nowadays, it's more and more rare
00:19:42.108 --> 00:19:44.443
To hear that kind of consistency and continuity
00:19:44.443 --> 00:19:46.746
From someone who moves from one arena to another.
00:19:46.746 --> 00:19:49.415
Thanks for validating my wisdom and sticking with you, ron.
00:19:49.415 --> 00:19:53.252
I find it simpler just to tell the truth.
00:19:53.252 --> 00:19:55.488
That way you've got the same message wherever you land.
00:19:55.488 --> 00:19:57.957
God's moving
00:19:57.957 --> 00:19:59.158
And i want to do everything i can to be a part of that.
00:19:59.158 --> 00:20:02.161
Be sure to send your emails and comments
00:20:02.161 --> 00:20:03.863
