Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Intel Bombshell | Allen Jackson Now | July 25, 2025

Well.
00:00:16.772 --> 00:00:17.206
Good evening.
00:00:17.206 --> 00:00:18.207
I'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
00:00:18.207 --> 00:00:20.342
They call the news the first draft of history.
00:00:20.342 --> 00:00:23.479
But if you listen to the two
00:00:23.479 --> 00:00:24.546
Different versions of the first draft these days,
00:00:24.546 --> 00:00:27.583
You'd think you're living in two very different worlds.
00:00:27.583 --> 00:00:30.419
One version has the country under quick
00:00:30.419 --> 00:00:32.387
Repair with major world powers, investing in the united states.
00:00:32.387 --> 00:00:36.291
Japan is the latest.
00:00:36.291 --> 00:00:37.593
In this case, $550 billion worth of investment
00:00:37.593 --> 00:00:41.697
And thousands of american jobs to come.
00:00:41.697 --> 00:00:44.433
There's no more criminals crossing our borders.
00:00:44.433 --> 00:00:46.735
Nuclear threats have been diminished, if not eliminated.
00:00:46.735 --> 00:00:50.038
Now that's history, isn't it?
00:00:50.038 --> 00:00:51.773
And young men and women enlisting in our military again.
00:00:51.773 --> 00:00:54.810
President trump says america is a hot country now.
00:00:54.810 --> 00:00:58.847
But if you listen to the other first draft of history, it's
00:00:58.847 --> 00:01:01.984
Not memorable.
00:01:01.984 --> 00:01:02.851
And it's
00:01:02.851 --> 00:01:03.352
No more important
00:01:03.352 --> 00:01:04.520
Than the stories that run in the supermarket tabloids.
00:01:04.520 --> 00:01:07.156
Not in the history books.
00:01:07.156 --> 00:01:08.957
With that,
00:01:08.957 --> 00:01:09.825
I want to bring in our guest tonight,
00:01:09.825 --> 00:01:11.260
Joining us from malibu, california,
00:01:11.260 --> 00:01:13.362
The dean of pepperdine school of public policy, pete peterson.
00:01:13.362 --> 00:01:17.900
Welcome back. pete.
00:01:17.900 --> 00:01:19.201
Great to be with you, alan.
00:01:19.801 --> 00:01:21.870
History is certainly being written now
00:01:21.870 --> 00:01:23.839
Following the document released
00:01:23.839 --> 00:01:25.340
From the director of national intelligence.
00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:27.576
Tulsi gabbard has put out a series
00:01:27.576 --> 00:01:29.378
Of previously secret government documents that show former
00:01:29.378 --> 00:01:32.447
President obama directed the fbi and the cia
00:01:32.447 --> 00:01:36.051
To turn otherwise incomplete intelligence
00:01:36.051 --> 00:01:38.687
Into a narrative about collusion between president elect trump
00:01:38.687 --> 00:01:42.090
And russia.
00:01:42.090 --> 00:01:43.258
It was a narrative they knew was wrong,
00:01:43.258 --> 00:01:45.294
But they did it
00:01:45.294 --> 00:01:46.328
Anyway to try to take down president elect trump.
00:01:46.328 --> 00:01:49.198
Pete, before we get into the specifics,
00:01:49.198 --> 00:01:50.966
Tell us just initial thoughts about what we've heard.
00:01:50.966 --> 00:01:54.269
Well, i think it's first important to point out
00:01:55.237 --> 00:01:57.272
That this report that has now been released by the dni
00:01:57.272 --> 00:02:01.710
Actually dates back to 2020.
00:02:02.311 --> 00:02:04.813
This has been information and research that has
00:02:04.813 --> 00:02:07.916
Now over five years old.
00:02:08.450 --> 00:02:10.953
And so to
00:02:10.953 --> 00:02:12.154
Learn about it now, i think in one sense is disappointing.
00:02:12.154 --> 00:02:15.691
This has been information that's been known
00:02:15.691 --> 00:02:17.459
By the intelligence committee, our community, for
00:02:17.459 --> 00:02:21.129
Several years.
00:02:21.463 --> 00:02:22.564
And obviously, as we'll get into the details are even
00:02:22.564 --> 00:02:25.934
More concerning.
00:02:26.335 --> 00:02:27.402
But i would just say at first blush,
00:02:27.402 --> 00:02:29.338
I think what has to concern americans
00:02:29.338 --> 00:02:32.074
Is that this very deep research that was done, comprising
00:02:32.074 --> 00:02:35.978
This report that's now been released is is five years old.
00:02:35.978 --> 00:02:40.515
Well, it's a story with many tentacles,
00:02:41.350 --> 00:02:43.352
But it boils down to something very simple,
00:02:43.352 --> 00:02:45.754
Which is that there was no intelligence
00:02:45.754 --> 00:02:47.389
In the hands of the cia
00:02:47.389 --> 00:02:48.590
That showed any collusion between trump and russia.
00:02:48.590 --> 00:02:51.560
Collusion didn't exist.
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.662
Nevertheless, former president obama directed both the cia
00:02:53.662 --> 00:02:56.898
And the fbi to create a made up narrative that trump
00:02:56.898 --> 00:03:00.269
Got help from the russia and helped to win the election.
00:03:00.269 --> 00:03:04.172
Senator rand paul pointed out a key piece of the evidence.
00:03:04.172 --> 00:03:07.943
One of the documents that tulsi gabbard has released
00:03:07.943 --> 00:03:11.480
Is an exchange between the cia analyst and brennan,
00:03:11.480 --> 00:03:15.117
And one cia analyst says that this is nothing more
00:03:15.117 --> 00:03:18.487
Than opposition research.
00:03:18.487 --> 00:03:19.921
It's unverified.
00:03:19.921 --> 00:03:21.623
And, brennan sort of flip it response is, yeah,
00:03:21.623 --> 00:03:25.160
But doesn't really ring true.
00:03:25.160 --> 00:03:27.129
Does it sound like it could be true?
00:03:27.129 --> 00:03:30.198
So apparently
00:03:30.565 --> 00:03:31.767
Sounding like it could be true was the standard they used.
00:03:31.767 --> 00:03:35.404
They knew it was unverified opposition research.
00:03:35.404 --> 00:03:38.440
Obama says
00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:39.841
The stories are all simply meant to be a distraction,
00:03:39.841 --> 00:03:42.844
But it doesn't sound like a whole lot more than that.
00:03:42.844 --> 00:03:46.381
It sure does, alan, in that particular quotation
00:03:46.381 --> 00:03:49.451
That the senator cites that doesn't ring true
00:03:49.451 --> 00:03:53.021
Out of the then cia director, is just so
00:03:53.021 --> 00:03:56.858
Disturbing to have people at that level of,
00:03:56.858 --> 00:04:01.029
Government leadership,
00:04:01.496 --> 00:04:04.266
Specifically in the intelligence community
00:04:04.266 --> 00:04:06.702
Who are pushing this.
00:04:06.702 --> 00:04:07.769
And i think that's another thing that comes through
00:04:07.769 --> 00:04:10.539
So clearly in the report.
00:04:10.539 --> 00:04:11.940
And i would encourage all of the viewers to, to download it.
00:04:11.940 --> 00:04:16.278
I mean, it's now a publicly available document.
00:04:16.278 --> 00:04:18.947
You can actually look at this
00:04:18.947 --> 00:04:20.916
Intelligence community, assessment,
00:04:20.916 --> 00:04:24.319
But it really does come through this constant pushing
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.689
By the then obama administration,
00:04:27.689 --> 00:04:30.459
Through the intelligence community,
00:04:30.459 --> 00:04:32.761
To really run through a bunch of yellow lights, if you will,
00:04:32.761 --> 00:04:36.331
That there really were even in turn, leaked
00:04:36.331 --> 00:04:39.167
Even by brennan's handpicked deputies who were,
00:04:39.167 --> 00:04:43.038
Reviewing the then intelligence
00:04:43.038 --> 00:04:45.574
About the so-called, trump russia collusion, even.
00:04:45.574 --> 00:04:49.745
They were coming back to brennan saying,
00:04:49.745 --> 00:04:51.513
We're just not seeing a there there
00:04:51.513 --> 00:04:53.682
That brennan continued over and over again
00:04:53.682 --> 00:04:56.151
To override them and continue to push this narrative.
00:04:56.151 --> 00:05:00.422
And obviously that had significant repercussions
00:05:00.422 --> 00:05:04.092
Not only for
00:05:04.426 --> 00:05:05.660
The intelligence community, but i would just take us back
00:05:05.660 --> 00:05:08.263
To that first year of the biden administration, 2021,
00:05:08.263 --> 00:05:13.168
And i'm certainly looking back now at the trump
00:05:14.102 --> 00:05:16.938
Administration in 2017, when both the media
00:05:16.938 --> 00:05:21.643
As well as the democratic establishment within congress
00:05:21.643 --> 00:05:25.213
Was taking this really unverified,
00:05:25.213 --> 00:05:29.184
And weak, intel agents reporting and trying to turn that
00:05:29.184 --> 00:05:34.423
Into significant stories, all with an intent, a damaging,
00:05:34.423 --> 00:05:39.428
A very early in young
00:05:39.928 --> 00:05:42.364
Administration.
00:05:42.364 --> 00:05:45.033
Well, tulsi gabbard says she has employees
00:05:45.033 --> 00:05:47.402
In the intelligence department
00:05:47.402 --> 00:05:48.603
Who are now coming forward to tell her how it worked,
00:05:48.603 --> 00:05:51.640
Including the fact that brennan was told
00:05:51.640 --> 00:05:53.909
That there was no hard
00:05:53.909 --> 00:05:55.010
Information to back the narrative that was written.
00:05:55.010 --> 00:05:57.612
Whether there's something to prosecute
00:05:57.612 --> 00:05:59.247
Or not is another matter.
00:05:59.247 --> 00:06:01.016
But isn't this exactly the type of fear people
00:06:01.016 --> 00:06:03.718
Have about the so-called deep state?
00:06:03.718 --> 00:06:07.155
It is allen.
00:06:07.489 --> 00:06:08.857
And again, at any level,
00:06:08.857 --> 00:06:11.927
From the
00:06:12.194 --> 00:06:13.428
Highest reaches of the cia, as we've seen here all the way,
00:06:13.428 --> 00:06:17.499
Straight through to our local police,
00:06:17.499 --> 00:06:19.901
We invest as a democratic republic,
00:06:19.901 --> 00:06:23.238
These institutions with incredible power.
00:06:23.238 --> 00:06:26.475
And as we all know, as people of faith,
00:06:26.475 --> 00:06:30.178
With great power comes great responsibility.
00:06:30.178 --> 00:06:32.747
To whomsoever much is given, much will be expected.
00:06:32.747 --> 00:06:36.184
And in many of the instances
00:06:36.184 --> 00:06:37.953
That we're now that are now being revealed,
00:06:37.953 --> 00:06:40.956
The people who were invested with great deals of power,
00:06:40.956 --> 00:06:44.092
Including the former dni, james clapper,
00:06:44.092 --> 00:06:47.696
We we have seen time.
00:06:48.196 --> 00:06:49.831
We're seeing time and time again,
00:06:49.831 --> 00:06:52.367
People abusing that power.
00:06:52.367 --> 00:06:54.636
Now, to your point,
00:06:54.636 --> 00:06:55.937
Whether this is criminal
00:06:55.937 --> 00:06:57.239
Or not remains an entirely different matter.
00:06:57.239 --> 00:07:00.275
But i think even what's in this report suffices
00:07:00.275 --> 00:07:04.012
To paint a picture that intelligence leaders
00:07:04.012 --> 00:07:07.616
In the united states government were,
00:07:07.616 --> 00:07:11.253
Really taking what was a very weak
00:07:11.253 --> 00:07:14.389
Intelligence material and trying to spin it up into a
00:07:14.389 --> 00:07:17.692
Major story.
00:07:17.692 --> 00:07:18.827
All with the intent of damaging, the early years
00:07:18.827 --> 00:07:23.732
Of the first trump administration.
00:07:23.732 --> 00:07:27.235
You know,
00:07:27.536 --> 00:07:28.670
I suppose the big mystery still is what type of case
00:07:28.670 --> 00:07:30.372
Could the justice department be able to build,
00:07:30.372 --> 00:07:33.208
Especially given that the supreme courts
00:07:33.208 --> 00:07:35.043
Already ruled that former
00:07:35.043 --> 00:07:36.011
Presidents can't be criminally prosecuted
00:07:36.011 --> 00:07:38.046
For actions that fall within their core
00:07:38.046 --> 00:07:40.181
Constitutional powers of the presidency?
00:07:40.181 --> 00:07:43.084
What's your opinion on a potential prosecution effort?
00:07:43.084 --> 00:07:45.754
And even if it's necessary?
00:07:45.754 --> 00:07:48.690
Well, i'm
00:07:48.990 --> 00:07:49.891
Very, to your point, it seems as though
00:07:49.891 --> 00:07:52.494
And i believe in this actually,
00:07:52.494 --> 00:07:54.462
From a constitutional perspective, that,
00:07:54.462 --> 00:07:57.933
Presidents should have special levels of immunity.
00:07:57.933 --> 00:08:02.037
Without that, it just sets off, a number of different
00:08:02.037 --> 00:08:06.641
Possible scenarios where opposing parties
00:08:06.641 --> 00:08:09.945
Could go back and and seek to derail a presidency,
00:08:09.945 --> 00:08:14.749
Even one that is, served already.
00:08:15.483 --> 00:08:18.587
But those immunities will not protect others
00:08:18.587 --> 00:08:22.857
In that administration.
00:08:22.857 --> 00:08:24.492
And whether we're talking about,
00:08:24.492 --> 00:08:27.495
John brennan or james clapper
00:08:27.495 --> 00:08:29.965
Or some of the others in the administration,
00:08:29.965 --> 00:08:33.368
The former obama administration,
00:08:33.368 --> 00:08:35.937
I think all each of those,
00:08:35.937 --> 00:08:38.540
Participants in this,
00:08:38.540 --> 00:08:41.209
Broader scenario need to be explored
00:08:41.209 --> 00:08:44.879
And brought to justice if, in fact, laws were broken.
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:49.918
Again, i want to make that nexus point
00:08:49.918 --> 00:08:53.254
Between the intelligence development that was happening,
00:08:53.254 --> 00:08:58.193
But also what happened in that first year,
00:08:58.193 --> 00:09:00.462
The trump administration in 2017.
00:09:00.462 --> 00:09:02.664
And remember the calls very early on for impeaching
00:09:02.664 --> 00:09:06.901
The president due to this so-called collusion
00:09:06.901 --> 00:09:10.005
And then going on to further impeachment processes,
00:09:10.005 --> 00:09:13.375
All of these, both in capitol hill and within the larger
00:09:13.375 --> 00:09:17.212
Washington, dc media establishment,
00:09:17.212 --> 00:09:19.914
Were all intending to, derail or inhibit,
00:09:19.914 --> 00:09:23.952
The work of that first trump presidency.
00:09:24.819 --> 00:09:27.989
And i think for those reasons, we really need to get to
00:09:27.989 --> 00:09:31.760
The bottom of what happened, there in 2016 into 2017.
00:09:31.760 --> 00:09:37.799
Well, pete, please stay with us for another segment.
00:09:38.833 --> 00:09:40.969
There's more to discuss on some other issues.
00:09:40.969 --> 00:09:43.938
And for those of you watching, if you like,
00:09:43.938 --> 00:09:46.107
You can use this time to
00:09:46.107 --> 00:09:47.342
Write me your thoughts on this genuinely big breaking story.
00:09:47.342 --> 00:09:51.246
Just go to aj now.com.
00:09:51.246 --> 00:09:53.548
I'd love to hear from you.
00:09:53.548 --> 00:09:54.849
We'll be right back.
00:09:54.849 --> 00:10:02.003
We'll be right back.
00:10:02.003 --> 00:10:06.930
We're back now with pete peterson, the dean
00:10:07.798 --> 00:10:10.233
Of the school of public policy at pepperdine university.
00:10:10.233 --> 00:10:13.670
I'd like to go through a few more issues while we have you.
00:10:13.670 --> 00:10:16.673
I realize that you're 3000 miles away from new york city,
00:10:16.673 --> 00:10:19.776
But from your public policy post, can you help us understand
00:10:19.776 --> 00:10:23.814
The attraction some people have
00:10:23.814 --> 00:10:25.248
For that socialist, democratic candidate for mayor,
00:10:25.248 --> 00:10:28.251
And how anyone can vote for someone
00:10:28.251 --> 00:10:29.886
Who they know can't get done what he's promising?
00:10:29.886 --> 00:10:32.489
You know, alan, even though i'm 3000 miles away, i'm
00:10:33.523 --> 00:10:36.093
Actually right next door to the city in which
00:10:36.093 --> 00:10:40.764
Some of the first
00:10:40.764 --> 00:10:41.898
Democratic socialists were elected to city council.
00:10:41.898 --> 00:10:44.735
And that happened right here in los angeles.
00:10:44.735 --> 00:10:47.704
In our last two elections, we've seen democratic socialists
00:10:47.704 --> 00:10:51.541
Elected to los angeles city council positions.
00:10:51.541 --> 00:10:55.779
And i think what we've we're learning here is definitely
00:10:55.779 --> 00:10:59.649
What we're seeing now in new york city
00:10:59.649 --> 00:11:01.585
Is that you're seeing in many cases,
00:11:01.585 --> 00:11:05.489
A younger, in most cases, whiter, wealthier,
00:11:05.489 --> 00:11:10.327
Demographic playing a larger role in elections.
00:11:10.327 --> 00:11:14.264
Many of them with high levels of college education.
00:11:14.264 --> 00:11:18.101
And what we've seen,
00:11:18.101 --> 00:11:19.269
And you and i have discussed on more than one occasion,
00:11:19.269 --> 00:11:22.239
Is that increasingly in our high schools and colleges
00:11:22.239 --> 00:11:25.809
And universities, even our so-called most elite
00:11:25.809 --> 00:11:29.045
Colleges and universities, topics like socialism
00:11:29.045 --> 00:11:32.015
And communism are taught as if they remain the future
00:11:32.015 --> 00:11:35.919
Of the world, if not the united states.
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.489
And so you have people that have been inculcated
00:11:39.489 --> 00:11:42.058
In these, kind of ideologies moving into positions as voters.
00:11:42.058 --> 00:11:46.696
And obviously, mamdani there in new york city
00:11:46.696 --> 00:11:50.033
Is very young, in his early 30s, and he certainly grew up,
00:11:50.033 --> 00:11:54.771
And was educated under the same kinds of principles.
00:11:54.771 --> 00:11:59.409
But all to say, that this very much
00:11:59.409 --> 00:12:02.979
Is a revealing of a certain demographic,
00:12:02.979 --> 00:12:06.983
One that is, by and large, highly educated,
00:12:06.983 --> 00:12:10.086
But it certainly does speak to the kind of education,
00:12:10.086 --> 00:12:13.223
That they've received.
00:12:13.690 --> 00:12:15.492
Well, california is
00:12:15.959 --> 00:12:17.160
Having a fight of its own with ice on deportations,
00:12:17.160 --> 00:12:20.997
But we just learned that another of the federal judges
00:12:20.997 --> 00:12:23.066
Has ruled
00:12:23.066 --> 00:12:24.234
That the salvadoran man, who briefly lived in maryland
00:12:24.234 --> 00:12:26.937
And is facing all sorts of serious charges,
00:12:26.937 --> 00:12:29.739
Should be released from jail.
00:12:29.739 --> 00:12:31.474
And if ice plans on deporting him,
00:12:31.474 --> 00:12:33.543
He's supposed to get a three day notice.
00:12:33.543 --> 00:12:36.413
So this judge apparently thinks that
00:12:36.413 --> 00:12:38.014
I shouldn't be allowed to deport a known ms13 gang member.
00:12:38.014 --> 00:12:42.018
Is there any legitimate legal reason for doing this?
00:12:42.018 --> 00:12:45.956
You know, it doesn't seem so to me.
00:12:46.756 --> 00:12:48.925
And again, even if this so-called retainer is issued, i.
00:12:48.925 --> 00:12:53.663
It will be hard for me to believe.
00:12:53.663 --> 00:12:55.498
Just given all
00:12:55.498 --> 00:12:57.267
The evidence that we've seen in that particular case,
00:12:57.267 --> 00:13:00.303
That he will remain in the country.
00:13:01.071 --> 00:13:04.274
I can certainly speak to what's happening here
00:13:04.274 --> 00:13:06.910
In los angeles, in southern california,
00:13:06.910 --> 00:13:09.579
Where the ice presence has been significant.
00:13:09.579 --> 00:13:12.616
One of the things that's been revealed,
00:13:12.616 --> 00:13:14.484
And i don't think it's a,
00:13:14.484 --> 00:13:16.453
Largely reported
00:13:16.853 --> 00:13:18.088
Story, is in the recent raids on,
00:13:18.088 --> 00:13:21.424
The marijuana farms, of all places,
00:13:21.424 --> 00:13:24.861
Just about 45 minutes north of where i'm
00:13:24.861 --> 00:13:27.631
Sitting right now in camarillo, california.
00:13:27.631 --> 00:13:30.800
What was revealed
00:13:30.800 --> 00:13:32.002
There is that there was a, a number of people that were,
00:13:32.002 --> 00:13:36.239
Found to be in the country illegally, but were underage.
00:13:36.239 --> 00:13:40.377
And one of the stories that i think
00:13:40.377 --> 00:13:43.179
Many are beginning to understand,
00:13:43.179 --> 00:13:46.316
And we've certainly seen this and what we saw
00:13:46.316 --> 00:13:48.518
In the illegal immigration that was
00:13:48.518 --> 00:13:50.353
Allowed into the country under the,
00:13:50.353 --> 00:13:52.756
The biden administration, was that
00:13:52.756 --> 00:13:55.225
You had a lot of undocumented minors coming into the country.
00:13:55.225 --> 00:13:59.963
And while some would say that this is a caring program
00:13:59.963 --> 00:14:03.266
To be kind of more of that open borders approach,
00:14:03.266 --> 00:14:06.436
What we saw revealed in camera were youth,
00:14:06.436 --> 00:14:09.873
That were essentially forced into child labor.
00:14:09.873 --> 00:14:13.643
And that is a, an ugly part
00:14:13.643 --> 00:14:16.279
Of illegal immigration is that so many people,
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:19.683
Especially young people younger than 18, younger than 15,
00:14:19.683 --> 00:14:24.354
Are being pressed into very difficult
00:14:24.354 --> 00:14:26.990
Labor situations and being taken advantage
00:14:26.990 --> 00:14:30.226
Of both in pay and in work environment.
00:14:30.226 --> 00:14:34.397
And again, they are without protections.
00:14:34.397 --> 00:14:37.734
And so thinking more broadly about the costs that we have,
00:14:37.734 --> 00:14:43.273
Essentially,
00:14:43.606 --> 00:14:45.175
Taken on because of the scope and scale
00:14:45.175 --> 00:14:48.144
Of the illegal immigration that the american government
00:14:48.144 --> 00:14:51.548
Has allowed in the four years of the biden administration.
00:14:51.548 --> 00:14:56.186
We're still learning the full impact from
00:14:56.186 --> 00:14:58.588
A humanitarian perspective here that, that we've allowed and
00:14:58.588 --> 00:15:04.027
And certainly the trump administration
00:15:04.027 --> 00:15:06.396
Is responding to that on a variety of fronts.
00:15:06.396 --> 00:15:10.100
Well, pete, i've got one more question.
00:15:10.100 --> 00:15:12.268
We talked earlier this year about the fear
00:15:12.268 --> 00:15:14.170
Some people had about president trump's tariff plans.
00:15:14.170 --> 00:15:17.207
But over time,
00:15:17.540 --> 00:15:18.408
It appears that
00:15:18.408 --> 00:15:19.342
Most people have now had time to understand
00:15:19.342 --> 00:15:21.144
What the tariffs intend to accomplish.
00:15:21.144 --> 00:15:23.480
Is there any way to know if the economic issues
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:26.016
Will still be front and center when the midterm elections
00:15:26.016 --> 00:15:28.284
Heat up next year, and that the tariffs will help?
00:15:28.284 --> 00:15:31.755
Well, you make a very good point, alan.
00:15:32.622 --> 00:15:35.425
So much of the doom saying that we heard, even earlier
00:15:35.425 --> 00:15:39.662
This year about the impact of these tariffs on
00:15:39.662 --> 00:15:42.999
The american economy has proven, unfounded.
00:15:42.999 --> 00:15:46.403
And it seems with each passing day,
00:15:46.403 --> 00:15:48.104
There's a new deal being made with one of our,
00:15:48.104 --> 00:15:52.375
Trading partners.
00:15:52.809 --> 00:15:54.444
That being said, that issue around tariffs
00:15:54.444 --> 00:15:57.247
And also the impacts of the big beautiful bill,
00:15:57.247 --> 00:16:00.784
I know the trump administration is very much
00:16:00.784 --> 00:16:04.254
Counting on positive economic impact
00:16:04.254 --> 00:16:07.991
Coming from both of those, both the legislation
00:16:07.991 --> 00:16:11.127
As well as the tariffs on the american economy come,
00:16:11.127 --> 00:16:15.632
The elections of next year, which are extremely important
00:16:15.632 --> 00:16:19.569
For the administration, just given the closeness of,
00:16:19.569 --> 00:16:24.274
Republican representation in both the house and senate.
00:16:24.274 --> 00:16:28.645
They really do believe they needed
00:16:28.645 --> 00:16:29.979
To clear the decks early on with these tariff policies.
00:16:29.979 --> 00:16:33.716
And the big beautiful bill, but they are certainly counting
00:16:33.716 --> 00:16:37.020
On the downstream.
00:16:37.020 --> 00:16:38.521
And by that, i mean, in the next 6 to 12 months, very positive,
00:16:38.521 --> 00:16:43.593
Economic implications or results from those two measures.
00:16:43.593 --> 00:16:48.498
Well, pete peterson, it is always a pleasure
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:51.534
To have you on,
00:16:51.534 --> 00:16:52.268
Especially with the clear vision
00:16:52.268 --> 00:16:53.603
That you have being 3000 miles away from washington.
00:16:53.603 --> 00:16:56.506
We'll see you again soon.
00:16:56.506 --> 00:16:58.775
Looking forward to it. thanks.
00:16:58.775 --> 00:17:00.944
In a moment there is hope, and i'll tell you why.
00:17:00.944 --> 00:17:03.980
And later, your feedback and questions
00:17:03.980 --> 00:17:06.282
And my best attempt at answering them.
00:17:06.282 --> 00:17:08.218
Stay with us.
00:17:08.218 --> 00:17:16.000
Stay with us.
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:20.132
I believe the only way to fully understand
00:17:20.999 --> 00:17:23.201
What's happening is to have some spiritual awareness.
00:17:23.201 --> 00:17:26.671
We have to think in spiritual terms.
00:17:26.671 --> 00:17:29.274
Why the intense fervor to discredit
00:17:29.274 --> 00:17:31.510
And undermine donald trump over the last decade?
00:17:31.510 --> 00:17:34.746
Well, perhaps
00:17:35.113 --> 00:17:35.714
If we unpack some of
00:17:35.714 --> 00:17:36.648
The amazing expressions
00:17:36.648 --> 00:17:37.816
Of courage
00:17:37.816 --> 00:17:38.817
That have been accomplished in recent months
00:17:38.817 --> 00:17:40.452
Under our current administration,
00:17:40.452 --> 00:17:42.187
We can better understand why the level of resistance
00:17:42.187 --> 00:17:45.023
Leading up to it.
00:17:45.023 --> 00:17:46.391
I've been calling these victories god events.
00:17:46.391 --> 00:17:49.528
I think when the president of the united states
00:17:49.528 --> 00:17:51.463
Says that marriage is between a man and a woman,
00:17:51.463 --> 00:17:54.099
That's a god event.
00:17:54.099 --> 00:17:55.500
When the
00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:56.635
President of the united states said that there are only
00:17:56.635 --> 00:17:57.836
Two biological sexes, i'm going to call that a god event.
00:17:57.836 --> 00:18:01.806
He ended the foolishness and the nonsense
00:18:01.806 --> 00:18:03.875
About transgenderism and men competing with women
00:18:03.875 --> 00:18:06.678
In athletics and robbing from our young girls.
00:18:06.678 --> 00:18:10.549
It took the president of the united states to say that.
00:18:10.549 --> 00:18:14.152
But my question to all of us is, where were the pulpits
00:18:14.152 --> 00:18:17.689
And where were the good people sitting in the pews?
00:18:17.689 --> 00:18:20.692
Why weren't we demanding that kind of truth
00:18:20.692 --> 00:18:22.727
In the communities where we live?
00:18:22.727 --> 00:18:25.330
You see, the consistent
00:18:25.330 --> 00:18:26.398
Message of scripture is that god expects his people
00:18:26.398 --> 00:18:29.334
To speak the truth and to live the truth,
00:18:29.334 --> 00:18:32.204
Even when it's not popular in our culture.
00:18:32.204 --> 00:18:34.973
I promise you, if we'll do that,
00:18:34.973 --> 00:18:36.975
There will be far more reasons for hope than despair.
00:18:36.975 --> 00:18:41.112
We'll be right back with your emails.
00:18:41.112 --> 00:18:50.006
We'll be right back with your emails.
00:18:50.006 --> 00:18:54.460
Thank you for spending a few minutes with us this evening.
00:18:55.628 --> 00:18:58.397
Just a reminder, if you ever miss an episode,
00:18:58.397 --> 00:19:00.633
You can go to aj now.com.
00:19:00.633 --> 00:19:02.602
There's a full archive there.
00:19:02.602 --> 00:19:03.936
You can watch them at your leisure.
00:19:03.936 --> 00:19:05.938
Makes them easy to share with a friend.
00:19:05.938 --> 00:19:08.007
Your emails are always a highlight.
00:19:08.007 --> 00:19:10.309
Al email.
00:19:10.309 --> 00:19:11.277
Dear pastor allen, as we are praying
00:19:11.277 --> 00:19:12.812
For god's spirit to move freely and powerfully in israel.
00:19:12.812 --> 00:19:16.015
Could you please give us an update
00:19:16.015 --> 00:19:17.383
On your tennessee neighbor and former tbn partner,
00:19:17.383 --> 00:19:21.187
Pastor, governor, ambassador mike huckabee?
00:19:21.187 --> 00:19:24.624
He needs more titles.
00:19:25.124 --> 00:19:26.659
May god bless him and his family with safety
00:19:26.659 --> 00:19:28.628
And effective effort in the holy land.
00:19:28.628 --> 00:19:30.529
Thank you
00:19:30.529 --> 00:19:31.330
Especially for your daily reminder
00:19:31.330 --> 00:19:32.498
That we do have more reasons for hope than ever before.
00:19:32.498 --> 00:19:35.835
Well, i am grateful to report that we are in touch
00:19:35.835 --> 00:19:39.005
And the ambassador is doing very well.
00:19:39.005 --> 00:19:42.141
Just this week
00:19:42.141 --> 00:19:42.908
He stood up on

Michael s from oklahoma emailed
00:19:56.522 --> 00:19:58.190
I really enjoyed the episode with doctor ben carson,
00:19:58.190 --> 00:20:01.027
The person who knows
00:20:01.027 --> 00:20:02.128
What it takes to be successful in life and business.
00:20:02.128 --> 00:20:04.930
Now, every time i have an opportunity
00:20:05.731 --> 00:20:06.966
To listen to doctor carson, he challenges me
00:20:06.966 --> 00:20:09.368
To want to do the right thing with my whole heart.
00:20:09.368 --> 00:20:11.570
He's a courageous man,
00:20:11.570 --> 00:20:13.205
And he's a strength and a blessing in our nation.
00:20:13.205 --> 00:20:16.309
I want to thank you
00:20:16.309 --> 00:20:17.276

00:20:17.276 --> 00:20:18.644
