Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Global Praise | Allen Jackson Now | October 16, 2025
  • Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:00:04.463 --> 00:00:06.531
  • I'm alan jackson.
  • 00:00:06.531 --> 00:00:08.133
  • I saw a quote and i thought it spoke to this incredible week.
  • 00:00:08.133 --> 00:00:11.369
  • It goes like this.
  • 00:00:11.369 --> 00:00:12.904
  • Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.
  • 00:00:12.904 --> 00:00:17.309
  • Well, president trump had the vision
  • 00:00:17.309 --> 00:00:19.010
  • And the tenacity to make it come true.
  • 00:00:19.010 --> 00:00:21.379
  • A remarkable piece
  • 00:00:21.379 --> 00:00:22.714
  • For the people of israel and the mideast as a whole.
  • 00:00:22.714 --> 00:00:26.051
  • A lot of smart people thought it could never happen,
  • 00:00:26.051 --> 00:00:28.587
  • But they've learned what it means to doubt
  • 00:00:28.587 --> 00:00:30.288
  • President trump.
  • 00:00:30.288 --> 00:00:31.656
  • The fighting has stopped.
  • 00:00:31.656 --> 00:00:32.824
  • The weapons are no longer pointed at israel.
  • 00:00:32.824 --> 00:00:35.160
  • The 2025 peace plan is a breakthrough of global
  • 00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:38.630
  • Proportions.
  • 00:00:38.630 --> 00:00:39.865
  • Well, scott brown was one of president
  • 00:00:39.865 --> 00:00:41.299
  • Trump's ambassadors in his first term,
  • 00:00:41.299 --> 00:00:43.535
  • And he's joining us now from new hampshire.
  • 00:00:43.535 --> 00:00:45.971
  • Welcome back scott.
  • 00:00:45.971 --> 00:00:47.706
  • Oh, allen, it's great to be on.
  • 00:00:47.706 --> 00:00:49.040
  • What a what a glorious week it keeps.
  • 00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:51.610
  • I can't keep up.
  • 00:00:51.610 --> 00:00:53.145
  • That is the truth.
  • 00:00:53.145 --> 00:00:54.446
  • You know we hear from the president every week.
  • 00:00:54.446 --> 00:00:56.748
  • But you've worked with him up close.
  • 00:00:56.748 --> 00:00:58.817
  • Tell us what it's like from the inside to work for this
  • 00:00:58.817 --> 00:01:01.419
  • Man who doesn't seem to take no for an answer.
  • 00:01:01.419 --> 00:01:04.489
  • Well, actually, we hear from him more than once a week.
  • 00:01:04.489 --> 00:01:07.292
  • We hear from three or 4 or 5 times a day,
  • 00:01:07.292 --> 00:01:09.427
  • Which is incredible. and it's funny.
  • 00:01:09.427 --> 00:01:11.396
  • We didn't hear from joe biden
  • 00:01:11.396 --> 00:01:12.797
  • For sometimes, you know, weeks and weeks on end.
  • 00:01:12.797 --> 00:01:15.734
  • Yeah.
  • 00:01:15.734 --> 00:01:16.735
  • Obviously he is unorthodox in some respects,
  • 00:01:16.735 --> 00:01:20.005
  • And that unpredictability is something
  • 00:01:20.005 --> 00:01:22.274
  • I think we've talked about a couple of times
  • 00:01:22.274 --> 00:01:24.009
  • When i first started.
  • 00:01:24.009 --> 00:01:25.510
  • Working with tbn is that that unpredictability,
  • 00:01:25.510 --> 00:01:29.147
  • Keeping people off balance is one of his strengths.
  • 00:01:29.147 --> 00:01:31.550
  • It's one of his assets, i believe.
  • 00:01:31.550 --> 00:01:33.718
  • I mean, look what happened with zelensky, basically.
  • 00:01:33.718 --> 00:01:36.087
  • You know, when he first went in, he basically kicked him out
  • 00:01:36.087 --> 00:01:39.558
  • Or he has another world leader go through the back door.
  • 00:01:39.558 --> 00:01:43.028
  • You know, he's just keeping them off balance.
  • 00:01:43.028 --> 00:01:44.763
  • And i thought,
  • 00:01:44.763 --> 00:01:46.131
  • And think what he's doing now
  • 00:01:46.131 --> 00:01:47.599
  • And what he did obviously with hamas
  • 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.267
  • And just finally gave him a deadline.
  • 00:01:49.267 --> 00:01:51.102
  • I think that deadlines coming for putin as well.
  • 00:01:51.102 --> 00:01:54.139
  • It's time to end the next war.
  • 00:01:54.139 --> 00:01:56.274
  • And, god bless him for doing it.
  • 00:01:56.274 --> 00:01:58.210
  • And, you know, we need to have that one end as well.
  • 00:01:58.210 --> 00:02:00.946
  • You know, i'm sure you work through
  • 00:02:01.746 --> 00:02:02.881
  • Some pretty tricky issues.
  • 00:02:02.881 --> 00:02:04.216
  • When you were ambassador,
  • 00:02:04.216 --> 00:02:05.850
  • But negotiating
  • 00:02:05.850 --> 00:02:06.918
  • In the middle east must be the highest bar of all.
  • 00:02:06.918 --> 00:02:09.621
  • A number of foreign leaders
  • 00:02:09.621 --> 00:02:10.755
  • Gave the president credit for getting this deal done.
  • 00:02:10.755 --> 00:02:13.959
  • Listen to some of their remarks.
  • 00:02:13.959 --> 00:02:15.961
  • My thanks to president trump for his leadership on this.
  • 00:02:15.961 --> 00:02:19.464
  • The is to egypt and turkey who've done,
  • 00:02:19.464 --> 00:02:22.867
  • Really important work.
  • 00:02:23.335 --> 00:02:24.869
  • In the negotiations.
  • 00:02:24.869 --> 00:02:26.838
  • It is a relief to the world.
  • 00:02:26.838 --> 00:02:28.907
  • We are ready to provide all the,
  • 00:02:28.907 --> 00:02:32.277
  • All the help that is needed.
  • 00:02:32.277 --> 00:02:34.546
  • I think the international community has to help him.
  • 00:02:34.546 --> 00:02:37.649
  • The maximum we can.
  • 00:02:37.649 --> 00:02:39.751
  • So each of these here is to say we are ready.
  • 00:02:39.751 --> 00:02:43.288
  • The president appears to have created his own united nations.
  • 00:02:44.489 --> 00:02:47.959
  • Now, do you think he managed to get so many different
  • 00:02:47.959 --> 00:02:49.728
  • Countries pointed in the same direction?
  • 00:02:49.728 --> 00:02:52.197
  • Well, i think what was noticeably
  • 00:02:52.197 --> 00:02:53.665
  • Absent was the actual un, which has done nothing.
  • 00:02:53.665 --> 00:02:56.935
  • Quite frankly, i'm not quite sure why we keep supporting that
  • 00:02:56.935 --> 00:03:00.071
  • Organization in the capacity that we do.
  • 00:03:00.071 --> 00:03:03.375
  • And, so that i think that spoke volumes, that
  • 00:03:03.375 --> 00:03:06.311
  • They weren't even there to be seen.
  • 00:03:06.311 --> 00:03:07.979
  • I believe because everyone has skin in the game,
  • 00:03:08.947 --> 00:03:10.782
  • Especially in the middle east.
  • 00:03:10.782 --> 00:03:12.117
  • I've been to afghanistan, pakistan, israel, dubai, jordan,
  • 00:03:12.117 --> 00:03:15.120
  • Kazakhstan, and i understand
  • 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:16.655
  • Certainly, you know, different
  • 00:03:16.655 --> 00:03:18.056
  • Parts of the world did trade deals as an ambassador
  • 00:03:18.056 --> 00:03:21.126
  • To new zealand have negotiated.
  • 00:03:21.126 --> 00:03:22.527
  • We were there during the christchurch massacre.
  • 00:03:22.527 --> 00:03:25.697
  • I think everyone in that region recognizes
  • 00:03:25.697 --> 00:03:28.400
  • That this is
  • 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:29.534
  • A once in a lifetime, once in a 3000 year opportunity
  • 00:03:29.534 --> 00:03:32.671
  • To really have peace and stability in that region.
  • 00:03:32.671 --> 00:03:35.940
  • And aren't they tired of, like, war after war after war
  • 00:03:35.940 --> 00:03:39.644
  • And the hate and the hate? it's not.
  • 00:03:39.644 --> 00:03:41.379
  • They're not realizing i believe their full potential.
  • 00:03:41.379 --> 00:03:44.549
  • You know, obviously they have natural resources.
  • 00:03:44.549 --> 00:03:46.785
  • They keep them going and give them money.
  • 00:03:46.785 --> 00:03:48.753
  • But there's more to it than just that.
  • 00:03:48.753 --> 00:03:50.588
  • They can be so much better and so much more.
  • 00:03:50.588 --> 00:03:52.924
  • And i think that's what the message was received.
  • 00:03:52.924 --> 00:03:55.427
  • Like, what are you doing?
  • 00:03:55.427 --> 00:03:57.195
  • And don't you want to be better
  • 00:03:57.195 --> 00:03:58.763
  • And do better and really be a region
  • 00:03:58.763 --> 00:04:00.799
  • In the world that people want to come to,
  • 00:04:00.799 --> 00:04:03.068
  • And they want to be safe and they want you to thrive.
  • 00:04:03.068 --> 00:04:05.737
  • Hopefully that message was received loud and clear.
  • 00:04:05.737 --> 00:04:08.673
  • Amen.
  • 00:04:08.673 --> 00:04:09.808
  • You know, in addition to the politics of this deal,
  • 00:04:09.808 --> 00:04:12.143
  • The president always talks
  • 00:04:12.143 --> 00:04:13.345
  • About his desire to stop the loss of life.
  • 00:04:13.345 --> 00:04:16.381
  • He says that when he is in his commander in chief role,
  • 00:04:16.381 --> 00:04:19.017
  • And he said it in the gaza and ukraine negotiations,
  • 00:04:19.017 --> 00:04:22.153
  • Where do you think
  • 00:04:22.587 --> 00:04:23.588
  • That emphasis on life is coming from for him?
  • 00:04:23.588 --> 00:04:26.358
  • No, i think because his life
  • 00:04:26.358 --> 00:04:27.592
  • Was almost taken not once but twice.
  • 00:04:27.592 --> 00:04:29.994
  • You know, the by literally by you know, that much and
  • 00:04:29.994 --> 00:04:33.832
  • He recognizes that he felt that, you know, god was giving him
  • 00:04:33.832 --> 00:04:37.168
  • Basically, i'm paraphrasing, a second chance,
  • 00:04:37.168 --> 00:04:39.237
  • A new opportunity in life to go and make a difference.
  • 00:04:39.237 --> 00:04:42.140
  • You know, i'm not going to disprove it or doubt him.
  • 00:04:42.140 --> 00:04:45.443
  • I mean, that's his feelings.
  • 00:04:45.443 --> 00:04:46.578
  • And i think god is touched by god and wants to do
  • 00:04:46.578 --> 00:04:50.348
  • And be better,
  • 00:04:50.348 --> 00:04:51.583
  • Because i think the entire world will be better off with him
  • 00:04:51.583 --> 00:04:54.919
  • Here, as we're seen by the leadership
  • 00:04:54.919 --> 00:04:56.988
  • That he's exhibiting on a whole. those.
  • 00:04:56.988 --> 00:04:58.890
  • Excuse me, a host of issues.
  • 00:04:58.890 --> 00:05:00.658
  • Well, let's move to the war in ukraine.
  • 00:05:01.526 --> 00:05:03.595
  • We heard from the first lady on her letter to putin.
  • 00:05:03.595 --> 00:05:06.398
  • She's working
  • 00:05:06.398 --> 00:05:07.098
  • To save the lives of children
  • 00:05:07.098 --> 00:05:08.533
  • And reuniting them with their families.
  • 00:05:08.533 --> 00:05:10.735
  • Listen to her comments.
  • 00:05:10.735 --> 00:05:12.904
  • Much has unfolded since president
  • 00:05:12.904 --> 00:05:15.573
  • Putin received my letter last august.
  • 00:05:15.573 --> 00:05:18.977
  • He responded in writing,
  • 00:05:19.511 --> 00:05:21.813
  • Signaling a willingness to engage with me directly
  • 00:05:21.813 --> 00:05:26.651
  • And outlining details regarding the ukrainian children
  • 00:05:26.651 --> 00:05:31.489
  • Residing in russia.
  • 00:05:31.489 --> 00:05:34.959
  • And since then, president
  • 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:36.761
  • Putin and i have had an open channel of communication
  • 00:05:36.761 --> 00:05:41.733
  • Regarding the welfare of these children.
  • 00:05:41.733 --> 00:05:45.437
  • You know, it's interesting to see both the first lady
  • 00:05:46.504 --> 00:05:49.441
  • And the son in law, jared kushner,
  • 00:05:49.441 --> 00:05:51.075
  • Taking such prominent roles
  • 00:05:51.075 --> 00:05:52.444
  • In the search for peace in our other globe.
  • 00:05:52.444 --> 00:05:55.180
  • Could this be a new model for finding peace?
  • 00:05:55.180 --> 00:05:57.315
  • A family affair?
  • 00:05:57.315 --> 00:05:59.017
  • Well, i think we've we've had other families,
  • 00:05:59.017 --> 00:06:01.686
  • You know, the kennedys, for example.
  • 00:06:01.686 --> 00:06:03.488
  • I mean,
  • 00:06:03.488 --> 00:06:03.988
  • That was
  • 00:06:03.988 --> 00:06:05.190
  • Really just to go with hillary trying to work on health care.
  • 00:06:05.190 --> 00:06:07.926
  • That was a disaster.
  • 00:06:07.926 --> 00:06:08.927
  • Really depends on the family
  • 00:06:08.927 --> 00:06:10.094
  • And really depends on the circumstances.
  • 00:06:10.094 --> 00:06:12.330
  • And, you know,
  • 00:06:12.330 --> 00:06:13.565
  • Putin has had a chance, many, many chances to stop this war.
  • 00:06:13.565 --> 00:06:17.268
  • And he keeps pushing and pushing and pushing
  • 00:06:17.268 --> 00:06:19.337
  • Trying to gain that tactical advantage.
  • 00:06:19.337 --> 00:06:21.339
  • You know, he released eight
  • 00:06:21.339 --> 00:06:22.440
  • Eight children. you know, there's
  • 00:06:22.440 --> 00:06:24.008
  • Tens of thousands that are still missing.
  • 00:06:24.008 --> 00:06:26.644
  • And it's a gesture i don't know if it's a placating gesture.
  • 00:06:26.644 --> 00:06:30.515
  • I mean, every life is sacred.
  • 00:06:30.515 --> 00:06:31.916
  • Every person, every child is sacred.
  • 00:06:31.916 --> 00:06:34.118
  • But if he really wants
  • 00:06:34.118 --> 00:06:35.353
  • To do something meaningful, he could do it just like that.
  • 00:06:35.353 --> 00:06:38.389
  • And i'm hopeful that the pressure is put on.
  • 00:06:38.389 --> 00:06:41.593
  • And that would be the draconian sanctions
  • 00:06:41.593 --> 00:06:43.461
  • That the president really the ice have said now for weeks.
  • 00:06:43.461 --> 00:06:46.698
  • He really should put on.
  • 00:06:46.698 --> 00:06:48.566
  • Obviously president putin,
  • 00:06:48.566 --> 00:06:50.468
  • You know, putin is still pretty dug in.
  • 00:06:51.336 --> 00:06:53.271
  • Do you think the president is on the right track
  • 00:06:53.271 --> 00:06:54.939
  • By trying to cut off countries from buying russian oil?
  • 00:06:54.939 --> 00:06:57.709
  • Yeah, i mean, that's what's supplying their their war.
  • 00:06:57.709 --> 00:07:00.578
  • That's what's funding their war, basically.
  • 00:07:00.578 --> 00:07:02.413
  • You know, they're undercutting the world
  • 00:07:02.413 --> 00:07:03.948
  • Market and going to china and india and other countries.
  • 00:07:03.948 --> 00:07:06.484
  • And so north korea, that'll buy their oil and they're doing it.
  • 00:07:06.484 --> 00:07:11.789
  • And that's what's fighting their war.
  • 00:07:11.789 --> 00:07:13.157
  • So you can't make sense, right. you cut that off.
  • 00:07:13.157 --> 00:07:15.527
  • And the money goes off.
  • 00:07:15.527 --> 00:07:16.761
  • And then you put in harder draconian sanctions
  • 00:07:16.761 --> 00:07:19.297
  • That'll have to bring them to the table.
  • 00:07:19.297 --> 00:07:20.832
  • It's not like china, where they have
  • 00:07:20.832 --> 00:07:22.100
  • The rare earth mineral issue kind of dangling over our head.
  • 00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:25.270
  • But we have many other levers as well.
  • 00:07:25.270 --> 00:07:27.672
  • And they're bargaining is really,
  • 00:07:27.672 --> 00:07:29.607
  • I think, minimal in terms of trade.
  • 00:07:29.607 --> 00:07:31.609
  • And they do have nuclear weapons,
  • 00:07:31.609 --> 00:07:33.378
  • Which is obviously a very big bargaining chip.
  • 00:07:33.378 --> 00:07:35.847
  • And god forbid they use those.
  • 00:07:35.847 --> 00:07:37.248
  • I wouldn't think they would over something like this.
  • 00:07:37.248 --> 00:07:39.551
  • But once again, i'm not putin.
  • 00:07:39.551 --> 00:07:41.653
  • I'm not close to putin.
  • 00:07:41.653 --> 00:07:42.587
  • I think steve wyckoff,
  • 00:07:42.587 --> 00:07:43.755
  • Who spoke to him for five hours, would have an up better
  • 00:07:43.755 --> 00:07:45.990
  • Understanding of where his head's at.
  • 00:07:45.990 --> 00:07:47.859
  • Well, the president told zelensky that he thinks ukraine
  • 00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:51.529
  • Could get all the territory that putin has captured
  • 00:07:51.529 --> 00:07:54.232
  • Back under ukraine's control.
  • 00:07:54.232 --> 00:07:56.367
  • So militaries are not so sure.
  • 00:07:56.367 --> 00:07:58.136
  • Do you think it's possible?
  • 00:07:58.136 --> 00:07:59.871
  • Well, listen into this guy.
  • 00:07:59.871 --> 00:08:01.005
  • Anything's possible.
  • 00:08:01.005 --> 00:08:02.507
  • You know, depending on what the levers are.
  • 00:08:02.507 --> 00:08:04.475
  • I mean, i always thought that you get,
  • 00:08:04.475 --> 00:08:06.311
  • You know, offer putin
  • 00:08:06.311 --> 00:08:07.211
  • An opportunity to get back in the g8,
  • 00:08:07.211 --> 00:08:09.581
  • Make it the g8 again
  • 00:08:09.581 --> 00:08:10.848
  • Instead of the g7 when they were kicked out,
  • 00:08:10.848 --> 00:08:12.884
  • You know, giving him some world credibility,
  • 00:08:12.884 --> 00:08:15.320
  • You know, start doing,
  • 00:08:15.320 --> 00:08:16.421
  • You know, some serious trade and other negotiations,
  • 00:08:16.421 --> 00:08:19.123
  • Releasing some of the sanctions and some of
  • 00:08:19.123 --> 00:08:21.292
  • The monetary restrictions that the country has,
  • 00:08:21.292 --> 00:08:23.962
  • You know, help them economically to kind of step back.
  • 00:08:23.962 --> 00:08:26.731
  • The question is, is it going to be like hamas or iran,
  • 00:08:26.731 --> 00:08:29.767
  • Whether they use that money to basically, you know, weaponize
  • 00:08:29.767 --> 00:08:33.004
  • And then export terrorism and fear around the globe?
  • 00:08:33.004 --> 00:08:36.674
  • That's that's the question.
  • 00:08:36.674 --> 00:08:37.775
  • And the president would only have that answer.
  • 00:08:37.775 --> 00:08:40.511
  • Well, scott, there's a lot more to discuss.
  • 00:08:40.511 --> 00:08:42.080
  • Can you stay for another segment?
  • 00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:43.815
  • Yeah, sure, sure.
  • 00:08:43.815 --> 00:08:45.049
  • Well, during the break,
  • 00:08:45.049 --> 00:08:45.883
  • You can jump in on our conversation
  • 00:08:45.883 --> 00:08:47.585
  • By going to aj now.com and send us an email.
  • 00:08:47.585 --> 00:08:50.555
  • We enjoy hearing from you. we'll be right back.
  • 00:08:50.555 --> 00:08:59.004
  • We enjoy hearing from you. we'll be right back.
  • 00:08:59.004 --> 00:09:03.999
  • We're back now with former senator scott brown.
  • 00:09:04.899 --> 00:09:08.103
  • You're working on getting back to washington next year.
  • 00:09:08.103 --> 00:09:10.672
  • And i understand you've already raised over
  • 00:09:10.672 --> 00:09:12.374
  • $1 million
  • 00:09:12.374 --> 00:09:13.475
  • To try to flip a democratic new hampshire senate seat.
  • 00:09:13.475 --> 00:09:16.811
  • But you've seen how washington is working,
  • 00:09:16.811 --> 00:09:18.880
  • Or should i say, not working right now?
  • 00:09:18.880 --> 00:09:21.383
  • The democrats have been pushed further left
  • 00:09:21.383 --> 00:09:23.318
  • And are running on an anything but trump agenda.
  • 00:09:23.318 --> 00:09:26.254
  • The government shutdown and chuck schumer is dug in.
  • 00:09:26.254 --> 00:09:29.724
  • What are you telling voters about what should be done?
  • 00:09:29.724 --> 00:09:32.761
  • Well, first of all, i raise 1.2 million and 90 days.
  • 00:09:32.761 --> 00:09:35.664
  • That's a very big number. no matter how you look at it.
  • 00:09:35.664 --> 00:09:37.766
  • We have over 750, probably another 100 coming out tomorrow.
  • 00:09:37.766 --> 00:09:41.836
  • Endorsers.
  • 00:09:41.836 --> 00:09:42.771
  • You know, people can go to scott brown.com
  • 00:09:42.771 --> 00:09:44.439
  • And help certainly and learn more.
  • 00:09:44.439 --> 00:09:46.174
  • But one of the reasons i am
  • 00:09:46.174 --> 00:09:48.143
  • Running is because of that gridlock.
  • 00:09:48.143 --> 00:09:49.878
  • I've always been a problem solver,
  • 00:09:49.878 --> 00:09:51.312
  • Somebody who basically, if it's a good idea,
  • 00:09:51.312 --> 00:09:53.715
  • It's a good idea regardless of who's sponsoring it.
  • 00:09:53.715 --> 00:09:56.351
  • And, you know, one of my first bills
  • 00:09:56.351 --> 00:09:58.420
  • Was the insider trading bill and got it done
  • 00:09:58.420 --> 00:10:00.255
  • When we only had 41 senators. and then i left.
  • 00:10:00.255 --> 00:10:02.624
  • They weakened it,
  • 00:10:02.624 --> 00:10:03.591
  • And now they want to do it again after pelosi
  • 00:10:03.591 --> 00:10:05.593
  • And others have made hundreds of millions of dollars.
  • 00:10:05.593 --> 00:10:08.430
  • But yeah, the gridlock is something schumer is wrong
  • 00:10:08.430 --> 00:10:11.199
  • And they should have.
  • 00:10:11.199 --> 00:10:12.267
  • They knew that
  • 00:10:12.267 --> 00:10:13.501
  • There was a sunset provision and provision in the continuing
  • 00:10:13.501 --> 00:10:16.638
  • In the original continuing resolution.
  • 00:10:16.638 --> 00:10:19.374
  • So these subsidies were eventually going to expire.
  • 00:10:19.374 --> 00:10:22.644
  • They've known this. and this is the problem with dc.
  • 00:10:22.644 --> 00:10:25.513
  • It's like they wait to the very, very last second.
  • 00:10:25.513 --> 00:10:27.949
  • And, you know,
  • 00:10:27.949 --> 00:10:29.017
  • I would say the republicans
  • 00:10:29.017 --> 00:10:30.385
  • Should have known that this is going to happen.
  • 00:10:30.385 --> 00:10:33.154
  • But, you know, schumer
  • 00:10:33.154 --> 00:10:34.622
  • Should come back and they should work it out.
  • 00:10:34.622 --> 00:10:36.458
  • It should go through the regular process.
  • 00:10:36.458 --> 00:10:38.493
  • There is a question about a lot of the health care,
  • 00:10:38.493 --> 00:10:41.062
  • Companies are now setting their rates.
  • 00:10:41.062 --> 00:10:42.964
  • Well,
  • 00:10:42.964 --> 00:10:44.032
  • I'm sure if there was a call from the president,
  • 00:10:44.032 --> 00:10:45.600
  • You know, they would postpone
  • 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.068
  • Those rates for a little while so things could be worked out.
  • 00:10:47.068 --> 00:10:50.004
  • That's what i would do if i was if i was advising
  • 00:10:50.004 --> 00:10:53.575
  • The president, i'd say, sir, what can you call these guys
  • 00:10:53.575 --> 00:10:55.810
  • And tell them that to
  • 00:10:55.810 --> 00:10:56.811
  • To just hold off a little bit
  • 00:10:56.811 --> 00:10:58.279
  • So we can actually get the government back open
  • 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.482
  • And then go through this process.
  • 00:11:00.482 --> 00:11:01.916
  • Could you do that, please, sir?
  • 00:11:01.916 --> 00:11:03.718
  • I'm sure you would do it.
  • 00:11:03.718 --> 00:11:04.686
  • I don't know if anyone's asked,
  • 00:11:04.686 --> 00:11:05.920
  • But chuck schumer is notorious for,
  • 00:11:05.920 --> 00:11:07.889
  • You know, kowtowing to the left, especially now that aoc
  • 00:11:07.889 --> 00:11:10.892
  • Could very easily take his job.
  • 00:11:10.892 --> 00:11:12.761
  • He got so much grief for it last time.
  • 00:11:12.761 --> 00:11:15.263
  • He's not about to do it again.
  • 00:11:15.263 --> 00:11:17.632
  • But, it's washington as usual.
  • 00:11:17.632 --> 00:11:20.001
  • But my my question to you and your viewers is,
  • 00:11:20.001 --> 00:11:23.238
  • Do you do nothing?
  • 00:11:23.238 --> 00:11:24.472
  • Should i and others like me sit on the sideline
  • 00:11:24.472 --> 00:11:26.808
  • And let them continue continuously, like,
  • 00:11:26.808 --> 00:11:29.911
  • Do it wrong and badly, or should i and others get involved?
  • 00:11:29.911 --> 00:11:33.414
  • And i've chosen to get involved, and i'm hopeful
  • 00:11:33.414 --> 00:11:36.451
  • That i have that opportunity. good for you.
  • 00:11:36.451 --> 00:11:39.254
  • We know some democrats are talking
  • 00:11:39.254 --> 00:11:41.055
  • As if they assume they'll take back
  • 00:11:41.055 --> 00:11:42.624
  • Control of the house in the midterms.
  • 00:11:42.624 --> 00:11:44.592
  • Is that a given among the people you talk to?
  • 00:11:44.592 --> 00:11:47.662
  • Well, it really depends.
  • 00:11:47.662 --> 00:11:48.596
  • I mean, though,
  • 00:11:48.596 --> 00:11:49.798
  • The whole redistricting thing certainly is taking place.
  • 00:11:49.798 --> 00:11:51.733
  • But, you know, it's really about getting out the vote.
  • 00:11:51.733 --> 00:11:54.269
  • You need to get out the vote and period.
  • 00:11:54.269 --> 00:11:56.504
  • And if you have any doubt, you can't sit on your laurels.
  • 00:11:56.504 --> 00:11:59.174
  • I mean, i'm working
  • 00:11:59.174 --> 00:12:00.475
  • 15, 16 hours a day and i leave here, i'm driving
  • 00:12:00.475 --> 00:12:03.044
  • Two hours going up north and probably meeting
  • 00:12:03.044 --> 00:12:05.046
  • 30 or 40 people and driving back just to get those,
  • 00:12:05.046 --> 00:12:08.116
  • Those 20 or 30 voters,
  • 00:12:08.116 --> 00:12:09.284
  • Which could really a times a by four,
  • 00:12:09.284 --> 00:12:11.119
  • It could be 100 and 2060 voters.
  • 00:12:11.119 --> 00:12:13.087
  • Ultimately, that could be the election.
  • 00:12:13.087 --> 00:12:15.089
  • So yeah, you need to work hard.
  • 00:12:15.089 --> 00:12:17.592
  • Certainly.
  • 00:12:17.592 --> 00:12:18.259
  • And, nothing's for granted.
  • 00:12:18.259 --> 00:12:19.861
  • You and i have spoken many times.
  • 00:12:19.861 --> 00:12:21.529
  • I was down 41 and one by seven when i ran the first time
  • 00:12:21.529 --> 00:12:24.465
  • And stopped the democrats super majority.
  • 00:12:24.465 --> 00:12:26.668
  • So it's not over till it's over.
  • 00:12:26.668 --> 00:12:28.703
  • But that's all the more reason why north carolina,
  • 00:12:28.703 --> 00:12:30.772
  • Michigan, georgia, kentucky, ohio, and now iowa and play,
  • 00:12:30.772 --> 00:12:34.742
  • Little old new hampshire with our 600,000 votes
  • 00:12:34.742 --> 00:12:37.612
  • That voters that come out during
  • 00:12:37.612 --> 00:12:38.746
  • The midterms could determine who controls the senate.
  • 00:12:38.746 --> 00:12:41.249
  • That's how important it is.
  • 00:12:41.249 --> 00:12:42.684
  • And that's another reason why i'm running.
  • 00:12:42.684 --> 00:12:44.385
  • And if you want to help once again, scott brown duck
  • 00:12:44.385 --> 00:12:46.888
  • I'm sorry.
  • 00:12:46.888 --> 00:12:48.189
  • Sorry to plug it, but it's it's time.
  • 00:12:48.189 --> 00:12:50.191
  • Well, the president has made some bold moves
  • 00:12:51.125 --> 00:12:53.161
  • With the economy, including the new tariffs.
  • 00:12:53.161 --> 00:12:55.530
  • You know, it's all designed
  • 00:12:55.530 --> 00:12:56.531
  • To grow business and jobs in this country.
  • 00:12:56.531 --> 00:12:58.833
  • But do you think enough of it
  • 00:12:58.833 --> 00:13:00.001
  • Will show progress by the time people vote next november?
  • 00:13:00.001 --> 00:13:03.204
  • Yes i do.
  • 00:13:03.504 --> 00:13:04.539
  • I actually just paid $2.38 a gallon with my bj's,
  • 00:13:04.539 --> 00:13:07.809
  • Which is like costco or, you know, one of those big,
  • 00:13:07.809 --> 00:13:12.447
  • You know, company, you know, savings companies or whatever.
  • 00:13:12.447 --> 00:13:15.383
  • You just take your bj's car and you go and you 238
  • 00:13:15.383 --> 00:13:18.786
  • Now that's huge.
  • 00:13:18.786 --> 00:13:19.988
  • Obviously, beef prices are still high.
  • 00:13:19.988 --> 00:13:21.756
  • I paid 267 for a dozen eggs.
  • 00:13:21.756 --> 00:13:25.293
  • So there are a lot of positive, positive signs,
  • 00:13:25.293 --> 00:13:27.929
  • But yeah, the tariffs,
  • 00:13:27.929 --> 00:13:29.163
  • This is something between china and the in the united states.
  • 00:13:29.163 --> 00:13:32.033
  • The president knows what he's doing in this regard.
  • 00:13:32.033 --> 00:13:33.902
  • I believe it
  • 00:13:33.902 --> 00:13:34.969
  • Because, you know, one of the things he wants done
  • 00:13:34.969 --> 00:13:36.504
  • Is this fentanyl to stop.
  • 00:13:36.504 --> 00:13:38.373
  • And china's really not doing anything on that.
  • 00:13:38.373 --> 00:13:40.775
  • They're also holding hostage the rare earth minerals issues.
  • 00:13:40.775 --> 00:13:43.811
  • And then they're also, you know, doing other things.
  • 00:13:43.811 --> 00:13:46.781
  • You know, for example, buying the russian oil.
  • 00:13:46.781 --> 00:13:48.683
  • So there's a reason why he's trying to tariff them
  • 00:13:48.683 --> 00:13:51.019
  • To the table so we can actually, you know, get something done.
  • 00:13:51.019 --> 00:13:55.290
  • I believe it will be done
  • 00:13:55.290 --> 00:13:57.292
  • And it'll be a little bit messy, but,
  • 00:13:57.292 --> 00:13:59.961
  • They seem to respect each other to tough
  • 00:13:59.961 --> 00:14:02.397
  • Kind of bulls in the china show up kind of going at it.
  • 00:14:02.397 --> 00:14:05.366
  • Men who are like that, they, they kind of respect the other
  • 00:14:05.366 --> 00:14:08.503
  • Person for that.
  • 00:14:08.503 --> 00:14:09.504
  • I mean, president trump said yesterday,
  • 00:14:09.504 --> 00:14:11.472
  • You know,
  • 00:14:11.472 --> 00:14:12.373
  • He thought that ergon from turkey was,
  • 00:14:12.373 --> 00:14:14.542
  • Was a good man who could help with putin
  • 00:14:14.542 --> 00:14:16.077
  • Because he's tough and he's hard.
  • 00:14:16.077 --> 00:14:17.312
  • And, you know,
  • 00:14:17.312 --> 00:14:18.479
  • Those those things are needed sometimes
  • 00:14:18.479 --> 00:14:20.982
  • When you're in those tough negotiations.
  • 00:14:20.982 --> 00:14:23.151
  • Well, the biggest issue at the polls last
  • 00:14:24.018 --> 00:14:25.853
  • Year was immigration
  • 00:14:25.853 --> 00:14:27.055
  • And the crime that's come with the previously open border.
  • 00:14:27.055 --> 00:14:30.124
  • You know, i know the illegal drug market
  • 00:14:30.124 --> 00:14:31.526
  • Was an even bigger issue in the northeast.
  • 00:14:31.526 --> 00:14:33.861
  • But how are things now?
  • 00:14:33.861 --> 00:14:34.929
  • And has the president gotten credit
  • 00:14:34.929 --> 00:14:36.230
  • For cracking down on crime and the drugs that come with it?
  • 00:14:36.230 --> 00:14:39.267
  • Well, we still have fentanyl coming
  • 00:14:39.267 --> 00:14:41.169
  • Through our northern border, and it still is going down
  • 00:14:41.169 --> 00:14:43.237
  • To warrants and down in new york state
  • 00:14:43.237 --> 00:14:45.106
  • And then being cut and shipped back up.
  • 00:14:45.106 --> 00:14:46.741
  • And, you know, one of the reasons
  • 00:14:46.741 --> 00:14:48.376
  • There's high tax in canada, we want more help at the border.
  • 00:14:48.376 --> 00:14:51.179
  • So it doesn't happen.
  • 00:14:51.179 --> 00:14:52.447
  • So if you're not going to just do it
  • 00:14:52.447 --> 00:14:54.015
  • Because it's the right thing to do,
  • 00:14:54.015 --> 00:14:55.383
  • Then you're going to have to force them to do it
  • 00:14:55.383 --> 00:14:56.918
  • And hit them in the pocketbook.
  • 00:14:56.918 --> 00:14:58.019
  • So i believe that's appropriate as well.
  • 00:14:58.019 --> 00:15:00.388
  • So people are still concerned there.
  • 00:15:00.388 --> 00:15:02.924
  • They are appreciative of the fact that,
  • 00:15:02.924 --> 00:15:04.859
  • You know, the president is getting the people who,
  • 00:15:04.859 --> 00:15:07.128
  • Criminal illegals out of here.
  • 00:15:07.128 --> 00:15:08.796
  • You know, some of the things that we see on the tv,
  • 00:15:08.796 --> 00:15:11.866
  • You know,
  • 00:15:11.866 --> 00:15:12.734
  • It makes you think, okay,
  • 00:15:12.734 --> 00:15:13.801
  • Is there a better way to do it or not?
  • 00:15:13.801 --> 00:15:15.503
  • I believe that ice and the other entities
  • 00:15:15.503 --> 00:15:18.239
  • Are doing a good job in this regard because,
  • 00:15:18.239 --> 00:15:21.242
  • Once again, is the question is, do you do nothing?
  • 00:15:21.242 --> 00:15:24.245
  • Well, of course you you do something
  • 00:15:24.245 --> 00:15:26.581
  • Because president biden let in, you know, millions
  • 00:15:26.581 --> 00:15:29.650
  • And millions of these people.
  • 00:15:29.650 --> 00:15:30.718
  • And the thing
  • 00:15:30.718 --> 00:15:31.786
  • That my mind boggles about is that how do you have
  • 00:15:31.786 --> 00:15:34.789
  • Somebody who's in prison? they they've been found guilty.
  • 00:15:34.789 --> 00:15:37.658
  • They have a deportation order.
  • 00:15:37.658 --> 00:15:39.894
  • And yet these governors and mayors are fighting
  • 00:15:39.894 --> 00:15:42.730
  • To keep them in the prisons instead of saying, oh, yeah,
  • 00:15:42.730 --> 00:15:45.166
  • Please get them out here so i don't need to pay for them.
  • 00:15:45.166 --> 00:15:47.735
  • It makes no sense.
  • 00:15:47.735 --> 00:15:49.003
  • And then if you see what happened in dc,
  • 00:15:49.003 --> 00:15:51.472
  • The way that it just completely almost overnight turned around,
  • 00:15:51.472 --> 00:15:54.575
  • Another in other places as well.
  • 00:15:55.209 --> 00:15:57.678
  • There's a reason for it.
  • 00:15:57.678 --> 00:15:58.880
  • There's crime out there.
  • 00:15:58.880 --> 00:15:59.947
  • And to think chicago and california
  • 00:15:59.947 --> 00:16:02.216
  • And other cities and towns and mayors and governors
  • 00:16:02.216 --> 00:16:04.952
  • Don't want to
  • 00:16:04.952 --> 00:16:06.087
  • Help from the government and the from the president.
  • 00:16:06.087 --> 00:16:07.588
  • It's just mind boggling.
  • 00:16:07.588 --> 00:16:08.956
  • Well, scott brown, thanks for coming back on again.
  • 00:16:09.957 --> 00:16:12.293
  • Our viewers always enjoy your commonsense ideas.
  • 00:16:12.293 --> 00:16:15.296
  • Tell them again where they get an update on your campaign.
  • 00:16:15.296 --> 00:16:18.099
  • Yeah. so they can go to scott brown.com.
  • 00:16:18.099 --> 00:16:20.034
  • They can, volunteer donate.
  • 00:16:20.034 --> 00:16:21.903
  • You know, it matters.
  • 00:16:21.903 --> 00:16:22.970
  • Every every dollar a dollar is a bumper sticker.
  • 00:16:22.970 --> 00:16:24.772
  • $5 actually pays for a sign.
  • 00:16:24.772 --> 00:16:26.974
  • So anything you can do to help, you know, love you guys
  • 00:16:26.974 --> 00:16:29.110
  • And god bless and you, god bless president trump.
  • 00:16:29.110 --> 00:16:32.213
  • God bless america.
  • 00:16:32.213 --> 00:16:33.281
  • Let's keep this going. amen.
  • 00:16:33.281 --> 00:16:35.616
  • Well thank you sir.
  • 00:16:35.616 --> 00:16:36.818
  • And in a moment i am hopeful that ideas for the days ahead.
  • 00:16:36.818 --> 00:16:39.754
  • We'll be right back.
  • 00:16:39.754 --> 00:16:53.201
  • I know there's no way that we could have
  • 00:16:54.068 --> 00:16:55.703
  • Had this victory in israel, in the middle east
  • 00:16:55.703 --> 00:16:57.939
  • Without god's sovereign involvement.
  • 00:16:57.939 --> 00:17:00.441
  • I'm grateful for the leadership of president trump,
  • 00:17:00.441 --> 00:17:02.577
  • But i'm grateful for the prime minister of israel
  • 00:17:02.577 --> 00:17:04.612
  • For their work, for their courage.
  • 00:17:04.612 --> 00:17:06.714
  • But there has to be
  • 00:17:06.714 --> 00:17:07.582
  • The recognition of the hand of god
  • 00:17:07.582 --> 00:17:09.383
  • Regarding the developments in israel.
  • 00:17:09.383 --> 00:17:11.486
  • What's happened was impossible in the natural.
  • 00:17:11.486 --> 00:17:14.021
  • It just couldn't be done.
  • 00:17:14.021 --> 00:17:15.423
  • And yet it's been done.
  • 00:17:15.423 --> 00:17:17.024
  • That alone should lead us to seek a deeper understanding.
  • 00:17:17.024 --> 00:17:20.728
  • You know, as christians,
  • 00:17:20.728 --> 00:17:21.829
  • We need a spiritual awareness to what's happening
  • 00:17:21.829 --> 00:17:24.065
  • And to recognize that israel does matter.
  • 00:17:24.065 --> 00:17:27.101
  • I don't believe that you can understand the bible
  • 00:17:27.101 --> 00:17:29.070
  • If you don't have some insight and understanding
  • 00:17:29.070 --> 00:17:31.239
  • Into the role of israel and the jewish people.
  • 00:17:31.239 --> 00:17:34.075
  • I think the most significant principle
  • 00:17:34.075 --> 00:17:36.244
  • Is that the jewish people, the nation of israel,
  • 00:17:36.244 --> 00:17:38.779
  • Are a chosen people, chosen by god.
  • 00:17:38.779 --> 00:17:41.816
  • You know, in the new testament the word israel occurs 77 times.
  • 00:17:41.816 --> 00:17:45.953
  • The word jew occurs 75 times in the old testament,
  • 00:17:45.953 --> 00:17:48.856
  • And 188 times in the new testament.
  • 00:17:48.856 --> 00:17:52.126
  • Just as a matter of comparison, the term christian.
  • 00:17:52.126 --> 00:17:54.829
  • It appears three times in the new testament.
  • 00:17:54.829 --> 00:17:57.765
  • Well, that gives us some sense of the significance god
  • 00:17:57.765 --> 00:18:00.234
  • Attaches to the people in the nation of israel.
  • 00:18:00.234 --> 00:18:03.704
  • I want to suggest that you and i, on a daily basis,
  • 00:18:03.704 --> 00:18:06.474
  • Should be praying for the peace of jerusalem,
  • 00:18:06.474 --> 00:18:08.342
  • Not an absence of conflict, but peace between the inhabitants
  • 00:18:08.342 --> 00:18:11.679
  • Of the land and the covenant people of god.
  • 00:18:11.679 --> 00:18:14.782
  • It'll bring god's blessing to you,
  • 00:18:14.782 --> 00:18:16.284
  • And it's a worthwhile investment of your time.
  • 00:18:16.284 --> 00:18:18.619
  • If you'll do that, there's more reasons
  • 00:18:18.619 --> 00:18:19.921
  • For hope than despair, i promise.
  • 00:18:19.921 --> 00:18:23.157
  • Well, i'll be back with your emails in just a moment.
  • 00:18:23.157 --> 00:18:26.194
  • Stay with us.
  • 00:18:26.194 --> 00:18:32.997
  • Stay with us.
  • 00:18:32.997 --> 00:18:37.366
  • Thank you for taking the time to send your emails.
  • 00:18:38.401 --> 00:18:40.670
  • They are always a highlight for us on the program.
  • 00:18:40.670 --> 00:18:43.472
  • Danica emailed.
  • 00:18:43.472 --> 00:18:44.874
  • Thank you for the reminder
  • 00:18:44.874 --> 00:18:45.975
  • To have a weekly table discussions with our family.
  • 00:18:45.975 --> 00:18:49.078
  • I noticed how covid caused many relational separations.
  • 00:18:49.078 --> 00:18:52.582
  • I really would like to have listened to you speak with mr.
  • 00:18:52.582 --> 00:18:54.917
  • Gordon chang as well,
  • 00:18:54.917 --> 00:18:56.285
  • Because he's extremely knowledgeable
  • 00:18:56.285 --> 00:18:58.454
  • And i always listen and appreciate what he has to say.
  • 00:18:58.454 --> 00:19:00.656
  • Thank you so much for your program.
  • 00:19:00.656 --> 00:19:02.892
  • Well, danica, let me suggest you go to alan jackson.com
  • 00:19:02.892 --> 00:19:06.162

  • That i've had the privilege of talking with gordon.
  • 00:19:09.298 --> 00:19:11.167
  • I believe i'm going to sit with him
  • 00:19:11.167 --> 00:19:12.168
  • Later in this week for a new episode,
  • 00:19:12.168 --> 00:19:14.437
  • But alan jackson.com is a great resource.
  • 00:19:14.437 --> 00:19:17.306
  • D matheson emailed.
  • 00:19:17.773 --> 00:19:19.041
  • I turned on tv in this evening at the end of the program,
  • 00:19:19.041 --> 00:19:21.510
  • Just in time to watch and listen to you
  • 00:19:21.510 --> 00:19:23.045
  • Speak with the department of the va.
  • 00:19:23.045 --> 00:19:24.714
  • Secretary collins,
  • 00:19:24.714 --> 00:19:26.515
  • It's such a blessing to listen to secretary collins views
  • 00:19:26.515 --> 00:19:28.985
  • And what he has to say for encouragement
  • 00:19:28.985 --> 00:19:30.586
  • And to be supportive in the community.
  • 00:19:30.586 --> 00:19:33.089
  • Well, i think it was an amazing report
  • 00:19:33.089 --> 00:19:34.957
  • On what he's doing to help our veterans.
  • 00:19:34.957 --> 00:19:37.293
  • His efforts are much needed.
  • 00:19:37.293 --> 00:19:38.928
  • It's time
  • 00:19:38.928 --> 00:19:40.129
  • That our veterans have the best health care in our nation.
  • 00:19:40.129 --> 00:19:42.598
  • They've been neglected and overlooked for too long.
  • 00:19:42.598 --> 00:19:45.334
  • It's a shameful episode in our history,
  • 00:19:45.334 --> 00:19:47.036
  • And i'm grateful that it's changing.
  • 00:19:47.036 --> 00:19:50.072
  • Cindy m from pennsylvania commented,
  • 00:19:50.072 --> 00:19:52.508
  • I recently returned home from two days
  • 00:19:52.508 --> 00:19:54.477
  • Of an uplifting conference.
  • 00:19:54.477 --> 00:19:56.512
  • Then i also attended ronni simmons presentation on israel.
  • 00:19:56.512 --> 00:19:59.982
  • I'm most thankful for ronnie's presentation,
  • 00:19:59.982 --> 00:20:01.917
  • Which enabled me to learn, after many, many years,
  • 00:20:01.917 --> 00:20:04.120
  • What truthfully happened in the middle east.
  • 00:20:04.120 --> 00:20:06.188
  • Thank you.
  • 00:20:06.188 --> 00:20:07.423
  • Well, sandy, we were glad you could visit tennessee.
  • 00:20:07.423 --> 00:20:10.459
  • If you missed that culture and christianity conference,
  • 00:20:10.459 --> 00:20:12.895
  • The entire conference is now available on youtube.
  • 00:20:12.895 --> 00:20:16.232
  • You can see it there.
  • 00:20:16.232 --> 00:20:18.034
  • Truth is available. god is moving in the earth.
  • 00:20:18.034 --> 00:20:20.303
  • We have evidence of that in the land of israel.
  • 00:20:20.303 --> 00:20:22.305
  • This week, the hostages have been released.
  • 00:20:22.305 --> 00:20:25.074
  • I hope you're celebrating.
  • 00:20:25.074 --> 00:20:26.876
  • I am. thank you for emails.
  • 00:20:26.876 --> 00:20:29.145
  • They're always a highlight.
  • 00:20:29.145 --> 00:20:31.013
  • I'm alan jackson, and i pray you have a wonderful evening.
  • 00:20:31.013 --> 00:20:31.013
