Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Finding Children | Allen Jackson Now | August 18, 2025

Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
00:00:03.161 --> 00:00:05.630
I'm alan jackson.
00:00:05.630 --> 00:00:07.299
In all the efforts to round up gang members and criminals
00:00:07.299 --> 00:00:10.001
Who are in our country illegally,
00:00:10.001 --> 00:00:11.870
And all the protest and pushback that comes with it,
00:00:11.870 --> 00:00:14.906
Very little has been reported about the children.
00:00:14.906 --> 00:00:17.709
Half a million unaccompanied children who were brought here
00:00:17.709 --> 00:00:20.712
And in many cases, let loose to fend for themselves.
00:00:20.712 --> 00:00:23.949
The human traffickers
00:00:23.949 --> 00:00:24.850
Who were taking advantage of them
00:00:24.850 --> 00:00:26.218
Work hard to keep the children out of camera range.
00:00:26.218 --> 00:00:28.954
So when we saw the recent footage of children
00:00:28.954 --> 00:00:31.223
Being used to harvest marijuana in the fields of california,
00:00:31.223 --> 00:00:34.693
We wanted to find out more.
00:00:34.693 --> 00:00:36.595
Many of you have children or grandchildren of your own.
00:00:36.595 --> 00:00:39.064
You can only imagine what it would be like
00:00:39.064 --> 00:00:40.899
Seeing our kids thirsty and hungry,
00:00:40.899 --> 00:00:43.201
Being used as cheap human labor, harvesting pot.
00:00:43.201 --> 00:00:46.671
Well, this is still summertime
00:00:47.272 --> 00:00:48.573
And the children should be playing with friends,
00:00:48.573 --> 00:00:50.642
Swimming at the neighborhood pool,
00:00:50.642 --> 00:00:52.010
Or enjoying sports at a summer camp.
00:00:52.010 --> 00:00:54.346
But as university dean pete
00:00:54.346 --> 00:00:55.847
Peterson said in our show recently, that doesn't happen
00:00:55.847 --> 00:00:58.984
When the politicians decide to have an open border.
00:00:58.984 --> 00:01:02.120
Listen to his comments.
00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:03.188
That is an
00:01:03.188 --> 00:01:04.489
Ugly part of illegal immigration is that so many people,
00:01:04.489 --> 00:01:08.827
Especially young people younger than 18, younger than 15,
00:01:08.827 --> 00:01:13.498
Are being pressed into very difficult labor situations
00:01:13.498 --> 00:01:17.903
And being taken advantage of both in pay and
00:01:17.903 --> 00:01:21.306
In work environment.
00:01:21.306 --> 00:01:23.842
But you may not see it
00:01:24.309 --> 00:01:25.443
Much on camera, but that doesn't mean it's not happened.
00:01:25.443 --> 00:01:28.446
So with that, i want to welcome back
00:01:28.446 --> 00:01:30.382
The border security advisor at the federation
00:01:30.382 --> 00:01:32.884
For american immigration reform, our decoy.
00:01:32.884 --> 00:01:36.221
Welcome back art.
00:01:36.221 --> 00:01:37.889
Thank you for having me, i appreciate it.
00:01:37.889 --> 00:01:39.925
You know, i realize that tom homan and i have their hands
00:01:39.925 --> 00:01:43.361
Full trying to stop crime and keep our cities safe.
00:01:43.361 --> 00:01:46.531
But can you tell us
00:01:46.998 --> 00:01:48.133
What's being done to find and protect the children?
00:01:48.133 --> 00:01:51.036
Well, look, unfortunately, it's just beginning.
00:01:51.036 --> 00:01:53.438
It's been getting harder and harder to find these children.
00:01:53.438 --> 00:01:56.007
A lot of it is they need to go and try to find out these ngos.
00:01:56.007 --> 00:01:59.244
So there was a lot of ngos that were taking in taxpayer money.
00:01:59.244 --> 00:02:02.514
They were taking in a lot of the unaccompanied juveniles.
00:02:02.514 --> 00:02:04.849
They were the ones finding homes.
00:02:04.849 --> 00:02:06.418
And i really think we need to go after those individuals,
00:02:06.418 --> 00:02:09.554
Find out their record keeping, find out where
00:02:09.554 --> 00:02:11.957
They were turning over the children to.
00:02:11.957 --> 00:02:13.491
Who was you, who was taking over the children?
00:02:13.491 --> 00:02:15.393
There was a congressional hearing
00:02:15.393 --> 00:02:17.829
Just recently in eli crain, and you can find it.
00:02:17.829 --> 00:02:20.498
Congressman, you like
00:02:20.498 --> 00:02:21.533
Ryan, asked one of the ladies about a hotline.
00:02:21.533 --> 00:02:25.170
So there was a hotline
00:02:25.170 --> 00:02:26.271
That was established that these children could call.
00:02:26.271 --> 00:02:29.174
And there was essentially tens
00:02:29.174 --> 00:02:30.742
Of thousands of calls made to this hotline that i will say
00:02:30.742 --> 00:02:34.579
Only one person was in charge of answering the phone calls.
00:02:34.579 --> 00:02:38.116
And, the thousands and thousands of
00:02:38.116 --> 00:02:40.919
Calls that were received went unanswered.
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.222
So i think there's there's so much more to it that that
00:02:44.222 --> 00:02:47.292
We need to start looking into and finding out
00:02:47.292 --> 00:02:49.427
Where these children are.
00:02:49.427 --> 00:02:50.662
At the same time, look, a lot of these,
00:02:50.662 --> 00:02:54.165
Cartels and smuggling
00:02:54.165 --> 00:02:55.433
Organizations, they took advantage
00:02:55.433 --> 00:02:57.469
Knowing that children were getting released.
00:02:57.469 --> 00:02:59.804
So many of them, when we say children were at the ages of 16
00:02:59.804 --> 00:03:04.276
And 17 years old.
00:03:04.276 --> 00:03:05.510
Of course, they're now over the age of 18 now.
00:03:05.510 --> 00:03:08.013
So those are going to be harder to find as well.
00:03:08.013 --> 00:03:10.749
But i'm telling you, it is just it's been one heck of a mess.
00:03:10.749 --> 00:03:14.486
And i hate to say it because some people say it all the time.
00:03:14.486 --> 00:03:17.689
I hate to say,
00:03:17.689 --> 00:03:18.823
Well, the last organized administration, they blamed
00:03:18.823 --> 00:03:21.760
The president before, but in this case,
00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:24.763
So much damage was made by the last administration
00:03:24.763 --> 00:03:28.700
When it comes to our nation's borders,
00:03:28.700 --> 00:03:30.468
When it comes to drug trafficking,
00:03:30.468 --> 00:03:32.270
When it comes to human smuggling, child trafficking,
00:03:32.270 --> 00:03:35.674
You know, sex trafficking, so much damage that now
00:03:35.674 --> 00:03:40.211
That you do have an
00:03:40.679 --> 00:03:41.946
Administration that is serious about taking care of the
00:03:41.946 --> 00:03:44.883
Of our borders and all the other issues.
00:03:44.883 --> 00:03:47.218
They're playing catch up.
00:03:47.218 --> 00:03:48.553
They're having to go back and try to figure out
00:03:48.553 --> 00:03:51.323
And clean up the mess that was left
00:03:51.323 --> 00:03:53.124
By the last administration, as well.
00:03:53.124 --> 00:03:55.160
When you see or talk to any of the children,
00:03:56.061 --> 00:03:58.730
It must be clear that they've been through
00:03:58.730 --> 00:04:00.131
The trauma of migrating from home, wherever that was
00:04:00.131 --> 00:04:03.268
And the effort that took.
00:04:03.268 --> 00:04:04.969
You know, i remember seeing a lot of shots
00:04:04.969 --> 00:04:06.771
Of the youngest of them wading through the water
00:04:06.771 --> 00:04:08.740
To get to texas,
00:04:08.740 --> 00:04:10.041
Trying to find shade in 100 degree plus temperatures.
00:04:10.041 --> 00:04:13.144
What do you say when you reach them?
00:04:13.144 --> 00:04:15.814
It's frustrating.
00:04:15.814 --> 00:04:17.048
Look, it's been very frustrating when we've seen the children
00:04:17.048 --> 00:04:19.384
That are that have been crossing unaccompanied juveniles.
00:04:19.384 --> 00:04:22.787
And the frustration comes from, you know,
00:04:22.787 --> 00:04:25.924
You asked some of these children,
00:04:25.924 --> 00:04:27.125
Where is your mom, where is your dad?
00:04:27.125 --> 00:04:28.927
And many of them, say, well, i don't have a dad,
00:04:28.927 --> 00:04:31.396
Or my mom's already in the united states.
00:04:31.396 --> 00:04:33.465
I've been in mexico living with some relative for so many years
00:04:33.465 --> 00:04:37.535
Or what have you.
00:04:37.535 --> 00:04:39.170
But many of them are small.
00:04:39.170 --> 00:04:40.372
They're big and really, really small children,
00:04:40.372 --> 00:04:42.507
You know, under the age of five, that, they were handed over
00:04:42.507 --> 00:04:46.444
To some smuggling organization, a coyote, as we say.
00:04:46.444 --> 00:04:50.548
That's the slang for the individual that crosses them.
00:04:50.548 --> 00:04:53.451
And they don't have any relatives.
00:04:53.451 --> 00:04:54.886
They don't have anybody with them.
00:04:54.886 --> 00:04:56.688
I mean, they're under the age of five,
00:04:56.688 --> 00:04:58.056
So some of them, they don't know how they're going to find,
00:04:58.056 --> 00:05:01.025
A relative in the us.
00:05:01.025 --> 00:05:02.360
It's very it's a very, very frustrating situation.
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.330
It's been a frustrating situation for quite some time.
00:05:05.330 --> 00:05:08.533
And look, honestly, as as cold hearted as it sounds,
00:05:08.533 --> 00:05:13.671
We need to have serious criminal actions
00:05:13.671 --> 00:05:17.575
And consequences against
00:05:17.575 --> 00:05:19.511
The smuggling organizations, but at the same time
00:05:19.511 --> 00:05:22.113
Against the family members of these children
00:05:22.113 --> 00:05:25.049
That felt it normal to turn over their children
00:05:25.049 --> 00:05:28.119
To these smuggling organizations themselves.
00:05:28.119 --> 00:05:30.889
Well, the psychological toll must be high.
00:05:31.756 --> 00:05:34.526
I mean, some of them are also under pressure
00:05:34.526 --> 00:05:36.161
To send money back home or to hand it over
00:05:36.161 --> 00:05:38.029
To whoever's controlling them
00:05:38.029 --> 00:05:39.731
Or loaning them to the farms and factories.
00:05:39.731 --> 00:05:42.500
They just operate on fear.
00:05:42.500 --> 00:05:45.770
Right. and so you see that, right?
00:05:45.770 --> 00:05:47.806
You're seeing that
00:05:47.806 --> 00:05:48.706
When you're under, when you're under age,
00:05:48.706 --> 00:05:50.542
You're going to go wherever your parents take you.
00:05:50.542 --> 00:05:52.243
That's just what ends up happening.
00:05:52.243 --> 00:05:54.112
They don't know any better.
00:05:54.112 --> 00:05:55.547
And, you know,
00:05:55.547 --> 00:05:56.247
They're being brought into
00:05:56.247 --> 00:05:57.282
Some of these, areas where they work.
00:05:57.282 --> 00:05:59.284
We saw the marijuana farm. we all saw it.
00:05:59.284 --> 00:06:01.653
You know, it was the children out there.
00:06:01.653 --> 00:06:03.087
It's kind of upsetting that i don't think
00:06:03.087 --> 00:06:04.556
Enough news media focused on that.
00:06:04.556 --> 00:06:06.891
They continued focusing on other things,
00:06:06.891 --> 00:06:08.860
And they should focus on that itself.
00:06:08.860 --> 00:06:11.329
These children were put in a very dangerous situation.
00:06:11.329 --> 00:06:15.200
Not only was it a marijuana field, okay,
00:06:15.200 --> 00:06:18.236
But they were out there in the middle of nowhere with,
00:06:18.236 --> 00:06:21.339
You don't know what kind of resources they have.
00:06:21.339 --> 00:06:23.875
Were they being fed? how much water was being given?
00:06:23.875 --> 00:06:26.511
They're being this is basically slave labor.
00:06:26.511 --> 00:06:29.614
And you have politicians out there that are focused on,
00:06:29.614 --> 00:06:33.418
You know, oh,
00:06:33.418 --> 00:06:34.652
Immigration or ice was out there arresting these individuals.
00:06:34.652 --> 00:06:38.223
That's the wrong focus.
00:06:38.223 --> 00:06:39.858
You heard so much of them complaining about the children.
00:06:39.858 --> 00:06:42.861
And we all remember they would take pictures,
00:06:42.861 --> 00:06:45.530
Or they some of them were staged.
00:06:45.530 --> 00:06:47.332
I'll say it.
00:06:47.332 --> 00:06:48.299
Some of these pictures were staged of children
00:06:48.299 --> 00:06:50.201
Next to a chain link fence and saying there were behind cages.
00:06:50.201 --> 00:06:53.605
All the while
00:06:53.972 --> 00:06:54.973
That happened during the obama administration,
00:06:54.973 --> 00:06:56.875
I will remind everyone about that.
00:06:56.875 --> 00:06:58.576
But where is the outrage right now?
00:06:58.576 --> 00:07:01.045
Where is the outrage towards
00:07:01.045 --> 00:07:03.214
These underage, you know, individuals being crossed?
00:07:03.214 --> 00:07:06.251
Where's the outrage towards the millions of children
00:07:06.251 --> 00:07:08.620
That were crossed during the biden administration,
00:07:08.620 --> 00:07:10.822
Where the ngos don't know
00:07:10.822 --> 00:07:12.457
Who they handed off these children to?
00:07:12.457 --> 00:07:14.626
Where is the outrage towards hundreds and hundreds of calls
00:07:14.626 --> 00:07:18.429
Being made to a hotline
00:07:18.429 --> 00:07:20.365
From children saying they feared for their life,
00:07:20.365 --> 00:07:23.735
Or they were in fear
00:07:23.735 --> 00:07:25.203
With the individuals
00:07:25.203 --> 00:07:26.170
That they had been handed off to,
00:07:26.170 --> 00:07:27.639
And there was nothing done about it.
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:29.307
Where is the outrage there?
00:07:29.307 --> 00:07:31.910
When do these children ever have time to simply socialize
00:07:33.077 --> 00:07:35.680
With kids of their own age, or any free time to recover
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.616
From the work they're being asked to do?
00:07:38.616 --> 00:07:41.119
Look, to my knowledge, they're just being taken out.
00:07:41.119 --> 00:07:44.989
And they were working in those fields,
00:07:44.989 --> 00:07:46.991
And then they were brought back
00:07:46.991 --> 00:07:48.426
To wherever they were staying the night.
00:07:48.426 --> 00:07:49.861
And it was just an unending cycle.
00:07:49.861 --> 00:07:54.966
Well, all right,
00:07:55.366 --> 00:07:56.467
Would you please stay with us for another segment?
00:07:56.467 --> 00:07:58.236
Absolutely. absolutely.
00:07:58.236 --> 00:07:59.704
I'd like to broaden this conversation
00:07:59.704 --> 00:08:01.339
Out to some of the other issues in the break.
00:08:01.339 --> 00:08:03.975
Feel free to jump in at aj now.com,
00:08:03.975 --> 00:08:06.344
And send us an email with your thoughts
00:08:06.344 --> 00:08:08.146
About these children in need.
00:08:08.146 --> 00:08:09.881
We'll be revisiting this issue
00:08:09.881 --> 00:08:11.482
And would benefit from your input. i'll be right back.
00:08:11.482 --> 00:08:21.008
And would benefit from your input. i'll be right back.
00:08:21.008 --> 00:08:25.064
Well, i'm back now with our dr.
00:08:25.698 --> 00:08:27.099
Cueto, the border advisor
00:08:27.099 --> 00:08:28.767
For the federation for american immigration reform.
00:08:28.767 --> 00:08:31.837
All right.
00:08:32.137 --> 00:08:32.805
I assume that these children
00:08:32.805 --> 00:08:33.739
Have to stop getting any education
00:08:33.739 --> 00:08:35.641
When they're forced to work in the fields or factories.
00:08:35.641 --> 00:08:38.177
Is there any effort
00:08:38.177 --> 00:08:39.244
To try to match these children up with their parents?
00:08:39.244 --> 00:08:42.214
So you're absolutely right.
00:08:42.214 --> 00:08:43.382
They haven't gotten any education.
00:08:43.382 --> 00:08:45.117
They've just been used pretty much for slave labor.
00:08:45.117 --> 00:08:47.419
That's what i call it.
00:08:47.419 --> 00:08:48.654
I mean, i don't know what else people want to want to call it.
00:08:48.654 --> 00:08:50.356
You know, these these individuals are
00:08:50.356 --> 00:08:51.890
They're forced to be out there working in those areas.
00:08:51.890 --> 00:08:55.427
So these individuals, these children will be,
00:08:55.427 --> 00:08:58.397
Taken into custody and efforts will be made
00:08:58.397 --> 00:09:01.233
To try to find their parents. but you know what?
00:09:01.233 --> 00:09:03.502
Some of these children that you saw in the video,
00:09:03.502 --> 00:09:06.038
They were with their parents.
00:09:06.038 --> 00:09:07.673
And i think that there needs to be an effort.
00:09:07.673 --> 00:09:10.309
That's why i've been focusing on it and talking about it.
00:09:10.309 --> 00:09:12.711
There needs to be an effort to go after the parents
00:09:12.711 --> 00:09:16.248
For putting these children in that situation as well.
00:09:16.248 --> 00:09:19.284
You hear it on the news all the time.
00:09:19.284 --> 00:09:21.020
I mean, look at mine. i'm in arizona.
00:09:21.020 --> 00:09:22.488
The the heat is crazy out here. you know,
00:09:22.488 --> 00:09:24.890
We hit 110, 120 degrees sometimes in the summertime.
00:09:24.890 --> 00:09:28.827
And every time you see a dog,
00:09:28.827 --> 00:09:31.797
Okay, a canine in the back of a vehicle.
00:09:31.797 --> 00:09:34.667
People are outraged from both sides of the aisle.
00:09:34.667 --> 00:09:37.603
And they should be.
00:09:37.603 --> 00:09:38.771
But why is it when you have these children
00:09:38.771 --> 00:09:41.607
Out there working and and being put into slave labor?
00:09:41.607 --> 00:09:46.145
How come you're not
00:09:46.145 --> 00:09:47.179
Hearing the outrage from the far left on this?
00:09:47.179 --> 00:09:50.115
This is when they should be screaming.
00:09:50.115 --> 00:09:52.084
It's not a, a one particular party problem
00:09:52.084 --> 00:09:55.754
Or another particular party.
00:09:55.754 --> 00:09:57.289
I think we need to come together and realize that the
00:09:57.289 --> 00:10:00.859
The open borders
00:10:00.859 --> 00:10:02.394
And the lawlessness that we've been seeing
00:10:02.394 --> 00:10:04.730
And we saw through many years has caused
00:10:04.730 --> 00:10:07.232
A lot of children's lives to be at risk.
00:10:07.232 --> 00:10:09.201
And we need to come together to try to help those kids.
00:10:09.201 --> 00:10:11.904
With as many as 20 million people here illegally.
00:10:12.871 --> 00:10:15.941
Ice needs the help of local law enforcement,
00:10:15.941 --> 00:10:18.510
But that's not what's happening in some parts of the country.
00:10:18.510 --> 00:10:21.447
Listen to homeland security secretary kristi noem.
00:10:21.447 --> 00:10:24.583
They are deciding the dangerous criminals
00:10:25.451 --> 00:10:27.820
That are murderers, rapists.
00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:30.656
Money launderers have committed assault
00:10:30.656 --> 00:10:33.792
That are trafficking
00:10:33.792 --> 00:10:34.827
Children are more important than the families
00:10:34.827 --> 00:10:37.029
That live in the communities here.
00:10:37.029 --> 00:10:39.765
Are there any of our government agencies
00:10:39.765 --> 00:10:41.900
That are outside of the arrest, trying to protect the children?
00:10:41.900 --> 00:10:45.704
It's hard to to to see that.
00:10:46.305 --> 00:10:48.674
It's hard to tell.
00:10:48.674 --> 00:10:50.576
Unfortunately, until we start seeing actual
00:10:50.576 --> 00:10:53.712
Consequences and arrests for those responsible,
00:10:53.712 --> 00:10:56.782
I'm not sure we're going to have any,
00:10:57.583 --> 00:10:59.218
You know, effective change.
00:10:59.218 --> 00:11:00.786
Dhs is working nonstop ice agents.
00:11:00.786 --> 00:11:04.289
Border patrol agents.
00:11:04.289 --> 00:11:05.190
I'm in contact with them all the time.
00:11:05.190 --> 00:11:07.659
They're doing their best when they go out there
00:11:07.659 --> 00:11:09.194
And make all these arrests.
00:11:09.194 --> 00:11:10.162
But they're seeing a lot of obstacles from,
00:11:10.162 --> 00:11:13.198
Sometimes city officials, other politicians
00:11:13.198 --> 00:11:16.802
In a lot of these areas that have created that magnet
00:11:16.802 --> 00:11:19.638
To allow this lawless
00:11:19.638 --> 00:11:21.006
Lawlessness to continue to happen.
00:11:21.006 --> 00:11:23.108
And that's i think what the frustrating part is,
00:11:23.108 --> 00:11:25.511
Is, you know, we're trying to keep
00:11:25.511 --> 00:11:27.379
Taking steps forward and trying to fix the problem,
00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:29.982
But there sure is a lot of obstacles
00:11:29.982 --> 00:11:31.750
Being placed up there by, politicians that,
00:11:31.750 --> 00:11:34.586
At the end of the day, i think it's
00:11:34.586 --> 00:11:36.221
All you can say is
00:11:36.221 --> 00:11:37.055
They have a hatred towards america,
00:11:37.055 --> 00:11:38.757
They have a hatred towards law enforcement,
00:11:38.757 --> 00:11:40.726
And they don't care about the children like they say they do.
00:11:40.726 --> 00:11:43.962
Well, the work these young
00:11:44.530 --> 00:11:45.798
People are being forced to do is not all seen on the tv news.
00:11:45.798 --> 00:11:49.301
An unknown number of them have been sold into the sex trade.
00:11:49.301 --> 00:11:52.971
Are there any special efforts being made
00:11:52.971 --> 00:11:54.640
To root out those underground efforts?
00:11:54.640 --> 00:11:56.875
There's a lot of.
00:11:56.875 --> 00:11:57.543
There's a lot of in tow.
00:11:57.543 --> 00:11:58.443
There's a lot of groups
00:11:58.443 --> 00:11:59.645
Is working, you know, nonstop trying to,
00:11:59.645 --> 00:12:02.181
Make sure that they get the proper steps
00:12:02.181 --> 00:12:03.849
And find out where these children are or find out,
00:12:03.849 --> 00:12:05.851
You know, the criminal networks that are involved in this.
00:12:05.851 --> 00:12:08.620
And people need to understand.
00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:09.822
And it's been well documented,
00:12:09.822 --> 00:12:11.490
The cartels, the criminal networks,
00:12:11.490 --> 00:12:13.959
In mexico, they they work in 168 different countries worldwide.
00:12:13.959 --> 00:12:18.463
So, you know, they're criminal tentacles.
00:12:18.463 --> 00:12:20.365
They reach out far and wide.
00:12:20.365 --> 00:12:22.134
They have a lot of, communication with each other.
00:12:22.134 --> 00:12:24.570
They have technology.
00:12:24.570 --> 00:12:25.604
They have everything you can think of
00:12:25.604 --> 00:12:27.039
Because they've amassed billions and billions of dollars.
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.641
So it is it is a never ending fight.
00:12:29.641 --> 00:12:32.711
And people need to realize
00:12:32.711 --> 00:12:33.946
That the people that are on that side of the criminal side,
00:12:33.946 --> 00:12:37.549
They're not the knuckle draggers that you would expect.
00:12:37.549 --> 00:12:40.185
They're individuals that are very,
00:12:40.185 --> 00:12:42.187
Very well versed in a lot of different areas of technology,
00:12:42.187 --> 00:12:45.891
And they know how to cover their tracks.
00:12:45.891 --> 00:12:47.826
When and i suppose if these children are eventually rescued.
00:12:48.994 --> 00:12:52.231
Are there public or private agencies
00:12:52.231 --> 00:12:53.832
That can take them in and provide
00:12:53.832 --> 00:12:55.000
Medical help, counseling or anything else they may need?
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:58.003
Yeah.
00:12:58.003 --> 00:12:59.137
No, that definitely something that they've looked at.
00:12:59.137 --> 00:12:59.872
There's medical
00:12:59.872 --> 00:13:00.806
There's the when these individuals are found,
00:13:00.806 --> 00:13:03.008
When these children are found,
00:13:03.008 --> 00:13:04.710
They receive the proper medical care,
00:13:04.710 --> 00:13:07.112
They make sure that they're evaluated
00:13:07.112 --> 00:13:08.981
Before anything else happens.
00:13:08.981 --> 00:13:10.349
So they are being taken care of.
00:13:10.349 --> 00:13:12.050
The problem is we got to try to find them.
00:13:12.050 --> 00:13:15.087
Before we run out of time.
00:13:15.654 --> 00:13:16.889
Can you tell us what folks at home can do to help?
00:13:16.889 --> 00:13:19.691
Absolutely.
00:13:19.691 --> 00:13:20.392
Look, if you see something
00:13:20.392 --> 00:13:21.526
Weird in your neighborhood, don't be scared to call.
00:13:21.526 --> 00:13:23.562
Don't be scared to call 911 even and get the message out.
00:13:23.562 --> 00:13:27.366
And make sure that, you know,
00:13:27.366 --> 00:13:29.434
Individuals, you know, you don't know.
00:13:29.434 --> 00:13:31.003
You got to make sure that whatever you see
00:13:31.003 --> 00:13:33.005
Happening in your neighborhood, whatever you see happening
00:13:33.005 --> 00:13:35.207
In a public place, in an airport and any,
00:13:35.207 --> 00:13:39.011
Any real transportation, if it if it if it looks weird,
00:13:39.011 --> 00:13:42.581
And something may be up,
00:13:43.115 --> 00:13:44.650
You may want to contact the authorities
00:13:44.650 --> 00:13:46.618
And get something out there, because that's
00:13:46.618 --> 00:13:48.220
How we're going to stop this.
00:13:48.220 --> 00:13:49.588
We need a group effort.
00:13:49.588 --> 00:13:51.156
Individuals out there.
00:13:51.156 --> 00:13:52.958
They say one person can make a difference.
00:13:52.958 --> 00:13:55.360
Look, one person can make a difference.
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.362
But the more individuals
00:13:57.362 --> 00:13:59.431
That are active, the more individuals
00:13:59.431 --> 00:14:01.533
That are alert of things that are going on.
00:14:01.533 --> 00:14:03.502
You need to start reporting the issues that you see.
00:14:03.502 --> 00:14:06.838
Because, there's children's lives are at stake
00:14:06.838 --> 00:14:09.474
And adult lives are at stake as well.
00:14:09.474 --> 00:14:11.643
Laura del cueto, thank you for your good work.
00:14:12.611 --> 00:14:15.781
Let's visit again when you've got more to report.
00:14:15.781 --> 00:14:18.517
Absolutely. thank you for having me.
00:14:18.517 --> 00:14:20.619
In a moment, i'll provide my own guidance
00:14:20.619 --> 00:14:22.854
On what we can do to take care of the children.
00:14:22.854 --> 00:14:24.923
There is a way forward later.
00:14:24.923 --> 00:14:26.792
Your emails.
00:14:26.792 --> 00:14:27.893
The inbox is full.
00:14:27.893 --> 00:14:29.361
I'll be right back.
00:14:29.361 --> 00:14:37.006
I'll be right back.
00:14:37.006 --> 00:14:41.473
If you want to be significant in the kingdom of god,
00:14:42.507 --> 00:14:45.210
Then your attitudes towards children matter.
00:14:45.210 --> 00:14:47.879
Significance in the kingdom
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:49.281
Requires a concern for the children.
00:14:49.281 --> 00:14:51.883
And not just my children, but all children.
00:14:51.883 --> 00:14:55.187
Was a nation.
00:14:55.187 --> 00:14:56.088
How do you think we're doing with this?
00:14:56.088 --> 00:14:58.390
During the previous administration, children
00:14:58.390 --> 00:15:00.158
Are being trafficked across our borders,
00:15:00.158 --> 00:15:02.260
Sold into sexual slavery in unprecedented numbers.
00:15:02.260 --> 00:15:05.464
A recent report
00:15:05.831 --> 00:15:06.765
From the department of homeland security
00:15:06.765 --> 00:15:08.800
Stated that immigration enforcement
00:15:08.800 --> 00:15:10.469
Officials are unable to effectively track
00:15:10.469 --> 00:15:12.838
The whereabouts of over 600,000 unaccompanied children
00:15:12.838 --> 00:15:17.442
Who crossed the southern border illegally since 2019.
00:15:17.442 --> 00:15:20.612
They've disappeared.
00:15:21.079 --> 00:15:22.614
We have no record of them.
00:15:22.614 --> 00:15:24.449
Think of the scope of that number for a moment.
00:15:24.449 --> 00:15:26.618
600,000. to put it in perspective.
00:15:26.618 --> 00:15:30.122
Approximately 95% of the counties in the united states
00:15:30.122 --> 00:15:33.658
Have a population less than 500,000 people.
00:15:33.658 --> 00:15:37.095
It's just unimaginable.
00:15:37.095 --> 00:15:38.730
And we've shrugged.
00:15:38.730 --> 00:15:39.965
We've been busy.
00:15:39.965 --> 00:15:41.633
Well, this lack of concern
00:15:41.633 --> 00:15:42.734
For the children is not something new.
00:15:42.734 --> 00:15:44.669
Smut in our school libraries.
00:15:44.669 --> 00:15:47.072
Don't think it's only happening in major liberal cities.
00:15:47.072 --> 00:15:49.508
More than likely, it's happening right where you live.
00:15:49.508 --> 00:15:53.278
I did an interview with a lead animator for disney recently.
00:15:53.278 --> 00:15:56.448
He said that disney
00:15:56.448 --> 00:15:57.582
Has a very clear goal that they're all trained for.
00:15:57.582 --> 00:16:00.318
Disney's goal
00:16:00.318 --> 00:16:01.353
Is that by the time a child is ten years old,
00:16:01.353 --> 00:16:03.422
The child should have an
00:16:03.422 --> 00:16:04.623
Affinity for a disney character and a song to go with it.
00:16:04.623 --> 00:16:07.759
If they meet that goal,
00:16:08.260 --> 00:16:09.561
Disney understands they have that child for life.
00:16:09.561 --> 00:16:13.031
He said when the lion king was released within two years,
00:16:13.031 --> 00:16:15.667
Almost every child in the world
00:16:15.667 --> 00:16:17.402
Knew a character and a song from that movie.
00:16:17.402 --> 00:16:20.472
Now, disney strategy isn't necessarily evil, but my point
00:16:20.472 --> 00:16:23.942
Is, why should we be outpaced by disney with our influence?
00:16:23.942 --> 00:16:28.413
We have the help of the spirit of god.
00:16:28.413 --> 00:16:30.982
We can't be passive when it comes to the children.
00:16:30.982 --> 00:16:33.585
I assure you, god takes children very seriously
00:16:33.585 --> 00:16:37.389
And he has a plan for every young life.
00:16:37.389 --> 00:16:39.991
You know, prior to the birth of john
00:16:39.991 --> 00:16:41.226
The baptist,
00:16:41.226 --> 00:16:42.027
God had both a name
00:16:42.027 --> 00:16:43.228
And a very clear assignment selected for him.
00:16:43.228 --> 00:16:45.931
Well, i believe that's true for every child.
00:16:45.931 --> 00:16:48.266
Every life is known by god even before conception.
00:16:48.266 --> 00:16:52.037
This is relevant.
00:16:52.471 --> 00:16:53.538
It's a truth in the midst of our current culture.
00:16:53.538 --> 00:16:55.774
We use christ.
00:16:55.774 --> 00:16:56.641
Followers have a biblical assignment
00:16:56.641 --> 00:16:58.243
To stand on behalf of those who don't have a voice.
00:16:58.243 --> 00:17:00.879
If we'll do that, there's reason for hope.
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.382
We'll be right back
00:17:04.850 --> 00:17:05.884
With your emails.
00:17:05.884 --> 00:17:14.000
With your emails.
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.564
Thank you for spending a few minutes of your day with us.
00:17:18.699 --> 00:17:21.301
It's always an honor to be able to share some time.
00:17:21.301 --> 00:17:24.471
If you miss a live show, you can always go to aj.
00:17:24.471 --> 00:17:26.540
Now, dot com. there's an archive there.
00:17:26.540 --> 00:17:28.475
You can see all the episodes even sharing with a friend.
00:17:28.475 --> 00:17:31.979
Thanks for your emails. they're a highlight.
00:17:31.979 --> 00:17:33.747
Kathy commented on youtube.
00:17:33.747 --> 00:17:35.983
What a wonderful show tonight with senator tim scott.
00:17:35.983 --> 00:17:38.585
One nation always under god.
00:17:38.585 --> 00:17:40.888
Excellent book title, senator scott.
00:17:40.888 --> 00:17:43.490
Two of the greatest christians on the same show,
00:17:43.490 --> 00:17:45.526
Reflecting the love of christ in america.
00:17:45.526 --> 00:17:47.594
We are truly blessed. all glory to god.
00:17:47.594 --> 00:17:50.063
Thank you both. i agree,
00:17:50.063 --> 00:17:51.999
I think that's an amazing title and it is a good book.
00:17:51.999 --> 00:17:55.135
Dan from illinois wrote.
00:17:55.135 --> 00:17:56.503
Thank you pastor allen for all you do.
00:17:56.503 --> 00:17:58.372
And most of all for unashamedly speaking the truth.
00:17:58.372 --> 00:18:01.575
If more churches had pastors like you,
00:18:01.575 --> 00:18:03.443
We wouldn't be in the mess we're in.
00:18:03.443 --> 00:18:05.479
You said it best with the following regarding cowardice.
00:18:05.479 --> 00:18:08.749
The problem in our world is not the depravity
00:18:08.749 --> 00:18:10.651
Of the wicked,
00:18:10.651 --> 00:18:11.752
It's the indifference in the hearts of the faithful.
00:18:11.752 --> 00:18:14.087
I believe that to be true.
00:18:14.087 --> 00:18:15.289
But i also think it's changing.
00:18:15.289 --> 00:18:17.024
I believe god is waking us up.
00:18:17.024 --> 00:18:18.725
He's shaking the earth
00:18:18.725 --> 00:18:20.127
And the objective is to awaken his people, to take our place
00:18:20.127 --> 00:18:23.697
In this most unique point in human history.
00:18:23.697 --> 00:18:26.567
Greg in washington asked,
00:18:27.134 --> 00:18:29.236
Do you think that when we get to heaven,
00:18:29.236 --> 00:18:30.771
We will receive a gift of omnipresence,
00:18:30.771 --> 00:18:34.041
Allowing us to view historic events?
00:18:34.041 --> 00:18:36.977
It would be so cool.
00:18:36.977 --> 00:18:38.845
Oh, well, i don't know about that
00:18:38.845 --> 00:18:40.480
Gift, greg, but i promise you, when we get to heaven,
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:42.950
We will have gifts and abilities that will be cool.
00:18:42.950 --> 00:18:45.953
God has something better than i'm certain i can imagine.
00:18:45.953 --> 00:18:49.289
I just want to be certain i get to be a part of that.
00:18:49.289 --> 00:18:52.559
Then kathryn from jacksonville, florida,
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:54.895
She question the murders in the church
00:18:54.895 --> 00:18:56.463
In africa where the children were beheaded
00:18:56.463 --> 00:18:58.198
In front of the parents and all were killed.
00:18:58.198 --> 00:19:00.701
How do you pray for these enemies?
00:19:00.701 --> 00:19:03.770
Well, i think one way we can pray is for mercy.
00:19:03.770 --> 00:19:06.139
Mercy in their lives and mercy for any children
00:19:06.139 --> 00:19:08.675
That they might encounter, that they'll be protected
00:19:08.675 --> 00:19:11.178
From that murderous, violent spirit.
00:19:11.178 --> 00:19:14.014
You know, we
00:19:14.348 --> 00:19:15.349
Live in such a protected world, in this nation.
00:19:15.349 --> 00:19:17.851
We have attitudes towards comfort and convenience
00:19:17.851 --> 00:19:20.053
That most of the world doesn't even understand.
00:19:20.053 --> 00:19:22.489
And i believe we have a responsibility
00:19:22.489 --> 00:19:24.391
To pray for the children in the world
00:19:24.391 --> 00:19:26.460
And the people in the world.
00:19:26.460 --> 00:19:27.527
And it wasn't too long ago in american history
00:19:27.527 --> 00:19:29.896
Where we had a
00:19:29.896 --> 00:19:31.031
Hard to take the gospel, the good news of jesus christ,
00:19:31.031 --> 00:19:33.500
To the nations of the world.
00:19:33.500 --> 00:19:34.735
Because we believe the gospel brought civilization,
00:19:34.735 --> 00:19:37.904
It brought more civil behavior to people's lives.
00:19:37.904 --> 00:19:40.941
I believe that's true.
00:19:40.941 --> 00:19:42.542
And i believe our church in this nation needs to wake up.
00:19:42.542 --> 00:19:46.246
Thank you for spending your time with us today.
00:19:46.246 --> 00:19:48.415
God is moving in the earth.
00:19:48.415 --> 00:19:50.017
I want to be a part of that.
00:19:50.017 --> 00:19:51.251
And i believe you do too.
00:19:51.251 --> 00:19:53.287
I'm alan jackson and i pray you have a wonderful evening.
00:19:53.287 --> 00:19:53.287
