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
- And there's a full menu of all the programs.
- 00:19:06.162 --> 00:19:08.197
- You can see all the times
- 00:19:08.197 --> 00:19:09.298
- 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
