Good evening.
00:00:04.896 --> 00:00:05.897
I'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
00:00:05.897 --> 00:00:08.133
What? to begin with some good news.
00:00:08.133 --> 00:00:10.168
America's global leadership is being recognized again.
00:00:10.168 --> 00:00:14.139
But with that, there are some big issues
00:00:14.139 --> 00:00:15.941
That need to be settled.
00:00:15.941 --> 00:00:17.442
For one,
00:00:17.442 --> 00:00:18.677
Russia and ukraine are behaving as though they're in a fight
00:00:18.677 --> 00:00:21.146
To the finish.
00:00:21.146 --> 00:00:22.614
If an end of the war is not found,
00:00:22.614 --> 00:00:24.082
Zelenskyy will eventually run out of people to fight the war
00:00:24.082 --> 00:00:27.519
And putin will get what he wants.
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.688
India and pakistan have squared off this year
00:00:29.688 --> 00:00:32.390
And nuclear weapons are a part of that equation.
00:00:32.390 --> 00:00:35.393
Then there's china, which may be willing
00:00:35.393 --> 00:00:37.596
To talk about a tariff deal,
00:00:37.596 --> 00:00:39.331
But they're never going to stop building up their military.
00:00:39.331 --> 00:00:42.300
The chinese navy now has 400 ships.
00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:45.537
And while hamas and hezbollah have been crippled,
00:00:45.537 --> 00:00:48.607
Isis is making a comeback in syria and afghanistan.
00:00:48.607 --> 00:00:52.344
And so is terrorism aimed at the jewish people.
00:00:52.344 --> 00:00:55.847
With all of that, i'd like to bring in our chief
00:00:55.847 --> 00:00:58.016
National security and military analyst, captain chuck nash.
00:00:58.016 --> 00:01:01.820
Welcome back. captain.
00:01:01.820 --> 00:01:03.688
A pleasure to be with you, pastor.
00:01:03.688 --> 00:01:05.724
Let's start with the continued attacks on israel.
00:01:05.724 --> 00:01:08.627
The iran backed houthi has fired
00:01:08.627 --> 00:01:10.428
Two more long range missiles at downtown tel aviv this week.
00:01:10.428 --> 00:01:14.065
Fortunately, they were intercepted
00:01:14.065 --> 00:01:15.467
Before they hit anyone.
00:01:15.467 --> 00:01:17.135
How do we resolve these random attacks of terror from the
00:01:17.135 --> 00:01:20.172
Houthis?
00:01:20.172 --> 00:01:22.274
They're going to have
00:01:22.774 --> 00:01:23.708
To realize that they're in a losing battle.
00:01:23.708 --> 00:01:26.545
The iranians are going to have to realize that supporting them
00:01:26.545 --> 00:01:29.915
Just extends their vulnerability.
00:01:29.915 --> 00:01:31.883
Even more.
00:01:31.883 --> 00:01:33.518
We've had recent reports that either one confirmed
00:01:33.518 --> 00:01:37.355
That the israelis are preparing a strike on iran.
00:01:37.355 --> 00:01:40.692
So, these activities just hastened,
00:01:41.426 --> 00:01:46.131
A kinetic action against the iranians.
00:01:46.965 --> 00:01:49.634
So i think what really needs to happen is the iranians,
00:01:49.634 --> 00:01:53.238
As the sponsors of these, need to back them off.
00:01:53.238 --> 00:01:57.342
There seems to be some chatter.
00:01:57.976 --> 00:01:59.177
I keep hearing that if israel were to attack iran, that
00:01:59.177 --> 00:02:02.247
That spirals into some larger global conflict.
00:02:02.247 --> 00:02:05.750
Do you share that fear? it very well could.
00:02:05.750 --> 00:02:09.020
One of the things that i think
00:02:09.020 --> 00:02:10.222
The iranians would do almost immediately is,
00:02:10.222 --> 00:02:13.625
Attempt to, mine the strait of hormuz.
00:02:13.625 --> 00:02:16.928
Which would shut off, saudi oil,
00:02:17.562 --> 00:02:20.899
Coming out of the gulf and,
00:02:20.899 --> 00:02:23.235
Also oil out of, the uae. so,
00:02:23.235 --> 00:02:28.173
That would
00:02:28.473 --> 00:02:29.374
Certainly send a shock to the markets.
00:02:29.374 --> 00:02:32.110
But also what would happen is the iranians, i believe, have
00:02:32.110 --> 00:02:36.281
Cells, sleeper cells, the spread throughout the western world,
00:02:36.281 --> 00:02:41.186
And they would be activated, should kinetic activity start?
00:02:41.186 --> 00:02:45.857
I'm pretty sure that.
00:02:45.857 --> 00:02:48.226
The conflict in the middle east had an expression
00:02:48.226 --> 00:02:50.228
A little closer to home.
00:02:50.228 --> 00:02:51.896
Last night, there was a very tragic double murder.
00:02:51.896 --> 00:02:54.432
A young couple,
00:02:54.432 --> 00:02:55.367
Both of whom worked for the israeli
00:02:55.367 --> 00:02:56.635
Embassy in washington, were shot and killed
00:02:56.635 --> 00:02:59.137
While they were visiting a jewish museum.
00:02:59.137 --> 00:03:01.539
Even more tragic, because they were about
00:03:01.539 --> 00:03:03.041
To start their life together by getting engaged.
00:03:03.041 --> 00:03:05.977
Well, the israeli prime minister said it was the result
00:03:05.977 --> 00:03:08.380
Of the wild incitement against the state of israel.
00:03:08.380 --> 00:03:11.650
You know, chuck, he's surely referring
00:03:12.484 --> 00:03:13.818
To american campuses, columbia university among them,
00:03:13.818 --> 00:03:16.955
Where jewish hate
00:03:16.955 --> 00:03:17.856
Has been allowed to take place
00:03:17.856 --> 00:03:19.224
Despite the threat to jewish students.
00:03:19.224 --> 00:03:21.626
How do we deal with this growing anti-semitism here at home?
00:03:21.626 --> 00:03:25.797
We enforce our laws,
00:03:26.264 --> 00:03:28.667
And expel those who refuse to live by them.
00:03:28.667 --> 00:03:32.203
Coming here as a foreign student,
00:03:32.203 --> 00:03:35.006
Is is a is a privilege.
00:03:35.006 --> 00:03:37.642
And we allow that.
00:03:37.642 --> 00:03:39.978
Because we're a we're a welcoming people.
00:03:39.978 --> 00:03:43.481
However, for those who will not abide by our laws,
00:03:43.481 --> 00:03:47.986
Not just foreign students, but u.s.
00:03:47.986 --> 00:03:50.789
Born students, u.s.
00:03:50.789 --> 00:03:51.990
Citizens, they've fallen into this trap.
00:03:51.990 --> 00:03:55.427
And what's happened here?
00:03:55.427 --> 00:03:56.928
I think we have the confluence and the joining rather,
00:03:56.928 --> 00:04:00.565
Of the american political left
00:04:00.565 --> 00:04:04.102
And the radical,
00:04:04.502 --> 00:04:06.671
Islamic, activists.
00:04:06.671 --> 00:04:09.541
And they share a common enemy, which is western culture,
00:04:09.541 --> 00:04:13.378
Specifically u.s., culture.
00:04:13.378 --> 00:04:16.548
And so they teamed up together
00:04:17.148 --> 00:04:20.652
In this unholy alliance.
00:04:20.652 --> 00:04:22.921
And, it's going to take enforcement of our laws
00:04:22.921 --> 00:04:26.658
And not just turning a blind eye
00:04:26.658 --> 00:04:28.226
Because other just young students.
00:04:28.226 --> 00:04:29.928
No, no, you break the law. you pay the price.
00:04:29.928 --> 00:04:33.932
Well, actually,
00:04:34.299 --> 00:04:35.100
There's one more component to that
00:04:35.100 --> 00:04:36.201
Unholy alliance, and it's our academic institutions.
00:04:36.201 --> 00:04:40.372
They seem all too willing to push that leftist
00:04:40.372 --> 00:04:42.807
Propaganda and the anti-israel, anti-semitic hate.
00:04:42.807 --> 00:04:46.544
Am i misreading that?
00:04:46.544 --> 00:04:48.346
No, not at all.
00:04:48.346 --> 00:04:49.447
And one has to wonder how much of that is influenced
00:04:49.447 --> 00:04:53.218
By the tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars
00:04:53.218 --> 00:04:57.822
That some countries have poured into to create,
00:04:57.822 --> 00:05:01.960
Islam study centers and things like that
00:05:01.960 --> 00:05:04.662
In religious,
00:05:04.662 --> 00:05:07.932
University, just like georgetown, and others.
00:05:07.932 --> 00:05:11.002
So it's, kind of a widespread seeding of capital
00:05:11.002 --> 00:05:15.273
Into these things, which then
00:05:15.273 --> 00:05:18.109
I think tends to influence their decision making.
00:05:18.109 --> 00:05:21.346
One more question on israel.
00:05:21.946 --> 00:05:23.748
President trump was able to negotiate
00:05:23.748 --> 00:05:25.583
The release of the last american hostage.
00:05:25.583 --> 00:05:27.952
But do you think israel will be able to free their citizens?
00:05:27.952 --> 00:05:30.288
There's only 21 of them believed to still be alive.
00:05:30.288 --> 00:05:33.258
And if not, i'm curious from your military perspective,
00:05:33.258 --> 00:05:36.428
Why is it israel been able to rescue them?
00:05:36.428 --> 00:05:39.764
Well, if you look at some of the videos
00:05:40.565 --> 00:05:42.834
That that have come out of gaza, it's mostly rubble.
00:05:42.834 --> 00:05:47.005
And if you take that rubble
00:05:47.605 --> 00:05:50.275
And you realize that underneath it is an entire labyrinth
00:05:50.275 --> 00:05:53.678
Of tunnels, the whole network has been built
00:05:53.678 --> 00:05:56.714
Down there, miles and miles and miles of tunnels.
00:05:56.714 --> 00:06:00.018
And and staging areas and things like that.
00:06:00.018 --> 00:06:02.954
So how many of those hostages are still alive?
00:06:02.954 --> 00:06:06.524
I don't know, but, in fact, nobody knows.
00:06:06.524 --> 00:06:10.295
I don't even think hamas knows, what?
00:06:10.295 --> 00:06:13.198
They're what they're sitting on
00:06:13.198 --> 00:06:14.399
Because their leadership is getting wiped out.
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.635
I saw a report earlier today where the israelis believe
00:06:17.635 --> 00:06:21.573
That they killed, suha, mohammed sinwar, who was the brother
00:06:21.573 --> 00:06:25.844
Of your son in law, who was killed previously.
00:06:25.844 --> 00:06:29.214
And his brother mohammed took over the reins of hamas.
00:06:29.214 --> 00:06:32.750
Well, the israelis now think, based on intelligence
00:06:32.750 --> 00:06:36.588
And forensics, that maybe they killed mohammed.
00:06:36.588 --> 00:06:40.291
Sinwar.
00:06:40.525 --> 00:06:41.926
Earlier this month. so
00:06:41.926 --> 00:06:44.963
Who knows?
00:06:45.263 --> 00:06:46.631
I'm sure that they can't communicate
00:06:46.631 --> 00:06:48.933
Other than with runners passing notes,
00:06:48.933 --> 00:06:52.170
Because any
00:06:52.170 --> 00:06:53.338
Electronic communication would be immediately intercepted
00:06:53.338 --> 00:06:55.940
By the israelis. so,
00:06:55.940 --> 00:06:59.177
They're back to caveman days, and they're living in caves
00:06:59.177 --> 00:07:02.247
Where they're manmade and they're tunnels.
00:07:02.247 --> 00:07:05.884
Well, let's move to russia and ukraine.
00:07:05.884 --> 00:07:08.386
Well, attempts have been made to get a cease fire.
00:07:08.386 --> 00:07:10.722
It looks as though
00:07:10.722 --> 00:07:11.956
Nothing will get done until president trump works it out.
00:07:11.956 --> 00:07:14.659
And the president sounds determined
00:07:14.659 --> 00:07:16.394
To stop the killing, as he said repeatedly.
00:07:16.394 --> 00:07:18.863
Listen to what he said.
00:07:18.863 --> 00:07:20.365
We have to get that thing solved.
00:07:20.365 --> 00:07:22.200
5000 young people every single week, on average.
00:07:22.200 --> 00:07:26.871
Five.
00:07:26.871 --> 00:07:27.672
And i've seen satellite pictures.
00:07:27.672 --> 00:07:29.207
You don't want to see these pictures.
00:07:29.207 --> 00:07:31.543
We'll have to see what happens.
00:07:31.543 --> 00:07:34.178
Chuck, putin and zelensky don't seem to care
00:07:34.178 --> 00:07:36.347
As much about the death toll as president trump does.
00:07:36.347 --> 00:07:38.816
How can that be?
00:07:38.816 --> 00:07:41.052
Well,
00:07:41.286 --> 00:07:43.488
Pastor, they're dancing with the devil.
00:07:43.488 --> 00:07:45.990
And you know,
00:07:45.990 --> 00:07:48.993
They're in a deathmatch,
00:07:48.993 --> 00:07:51.229
And it's really sad.
00:07:51.229 --> 00:07:52.630
And the president is absolutely spot on.
00:07:52.630 --> 00:07:55.366
They're just grinding up a generation of young men.
00:07:55.366 --> 00:07:59.737
And that doesn't count the civilian casualties.
00:07:59.737 --> 00:08:02.941
And then when you add on top of that all of the destruction,
00:08:02.941 --> 00:08:06.444
It will take billions of dollars to rebuild.
00:08:06.444 --> 00:08:09.881
Those cities, they're they're nothing but a bunch of castles
00:08:11.049 --> 00:08:13.985
Spread all over eastern and northeastern ukraine.
00:08:13.985 --> 00:08:18.256
So i think the president is going to be
00:08:18.256 --> 00:08:21.826
The one who finally brokered the deal.
00:08:21.826 --> 00:08:25.196
But zelensky is saying it started in, in,
00:08:25.196 --> 00:08:30.335
In the crimea.
00:08:30.668 --> 00:08:31.903
It's going to end in the crimea,
00:08:31.903 --> 00:08:33.304
Meaning i'm not giving up the crimea.
00:08:33.304 --> 00:08:35.139
I want it back.
00:08:35.139 --> 00:08:36.174
That is not going to happen under any stretch
00:08:36.174 --> 00:08:38.977
Of the imagination.
00:08:38.977 --> 00:08:40.244
And the russians are not going to give up a lot of the land
00:08:40.244 --> 00:08:45.149
That they took with and paid for in blood and treasure.
00:08:45.149 --> 00:08:48.586
They're not going to give it up.
00:08:48.586 --> 00:08:50.121
So zelensky has to realize
00:08:50.121 --> 00:08:52.890
That he gave up and
00:08:53.358 --> 00:08:55.159
Lost about 20% of his country.
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.529
And putin is going to have to realize
00:08:59.330 --> 00:09:01.499
That he's going to have to knock this thing off.
00:09:01.499 --> 00:09:03.968
He's not going to get what he wants, which is the overthrow
00:09:03.968 --> 00:09:07.438
And therefore control of the ukraine.
00:09:07.438 --> 00:09:09.841
He doesn't want to have to manage it himself.
00:09:09.841 --> 00:09:12.243
He just wants a friendly government in there.
00:09:12.243 --> 00:09:14.345
What he's going to get is part of the donbas, the crimea.
00:09:14.345 --> 00:09:18.549
A cease.
00:09:18.816 --> 00:09:20.551
Zelensky will stay in power until the next election,
00:09:20.551 --> 00:09:23.855
And there won't be any nato troops put in.
00:09:23.855 --> 00:09:27.458
Or nato, the membership for ukraine,
00:09:27.458 --> 00:09:30.928
Maybe peacekeepers, but not nato membership.
00:09:30.928 --> 00:09:33.798
And i think we're going to have to settle for that
00:09:33.798 --> 00:09:37.068
As a minimum.
00:09:37.068 --> 00:09:39.037
Well, captain ash, please stay with us for another segment.
00:09:39.037 --> 00:09:41.606
In a moment, we'll talk about what
00:09:41.606 --> 00:09:42.907
Putin was unable to accomplish
00:09:42.907 --> 00:09:45.109
And what it says about the state of the russian military.
00:09:45.109 --> 00:09:47.578
And after that, some thoughts of my own and all of this.
00:09:47.578 --> 00:09:50.314
We'll be right back.
00:09:50.314 --> 00:09:58.006
We'll be right back.
00:09:58.006 --> 00:10:02.262
We're back now with captain chuck nash,
00:10:03.096 --> 00:10:05.498
A man with a career full of many military accomplishments.
00:10:05.498 --> 00:10:09.102
Speaking for all of our viewers.
00:10:09.102 --> 00:10:10.570
Thank you, captain nash,
00:10:10.570 --> 00:10:11.738
For your great service to our country.
00:10:11.738 --> 00:10:15.041
My pleasure. bastard.
00:10:15.041 --> 00:10:16.209
And this memorial day weekend, i was thinking that, you know,
00:10:16.209 --> 00:10:19.946
Sometimes people
00:10:19.946 --> 00:10:21.381
That don't understand the meaning of these things.
00:10:21.381 --> 00:10:24.184
And one of them is that in armed forces day,
00:10:24.184 --> 00:10:26.786
We celebrate and thank those who are wearing the uniform.
00:10:26.786 --> 00:10:31.024
And when veterans day, we thank those who used to wear
00:10:31.024 --> 00:10:34.994
The uniform and took it off.
00:10:34.994 --> 00:10:36.362
And in memorial day, we honor the memory of those
00:10:36.362 --> 00:10:39.065
Who never got the chance to take off the uniform.
00:10:39.065 --> 00:10:42.736
Amen.
00:10:42.969 --> 00:10:44.537
Well, let's get back to russia.
00:10:44.537 --> 00:10:46.172
When putin invaded ukraine,
00:10:46.172 --> 00:10:48.041
It was believed that he wasn't going to stop
00:10:48.041 --> 00:10:49.843
Until he took the capital of kiev.
00:10:49.843 --> 00:10:51.878
But as tanks got stuck in the mud
00:10:51.878 --> 00:10:53.413
And his supply chain failed and he failed,
00:10:53.413 --> 00:10:56.449
At least in terms of his initial goal.
00:10:56.449 --> 00:10:58.718
What does that tell you about his military
00:10:58.718 --> 00:11:00.854
And his strategic decisions going forward?
00:11:00.854 --> 00:11:04.457
The russian military
00:11:04.924 --> 00:11:06.659
Is just absolutely riddled with corruption.
00:11:06.659 --> 00:11:10.897
And when it came time to take a force
00:11:11.698 --> 00:11:15.368
That he thought he had in being and actually employ it,
00:11:15.368 --> 00:11:19.572
You realized the tires were second rate
00:11:19.572 --> 00:11:22.709
And coming off vehicles, they the tanks were breaking down.
00:11:22.709 --> 00:11:26.846
They couldn't supply the fuel to the tanks to keep them moving.
00:11:26.846 --> 00:11:31.217
They bottled up on the road
00:11:31.217 --> 00:11:33.119
And we all saw the the results of that,
00:11:33.119 --> 00:11:36.990
Where the drones would go out and just start whacking.
00:11:36.990 --> 00:11:40.960
All of that, that armor and and destroying it.
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:44.898
Well, several years later,
00:11:44.898 --> 00:11:48.001
They've learned the lesson.
00:11:48.001 --> 00:11:50.036
They're getting resupplied with ammunition from north korea.
00:11:50.036 --> 00:11:53.473
China is assisting them.
00:11:54.007 --> 00:11:56.209
They are rebuilding their infrastructure,
00:11:56.209 --> 00:11:57.977
Their military structure.
00:11:57.977 --> 00:11:59.913
And they will probably emerge militarily stronger
00:11:59.913 --> 00:12:05.018
Than when they went in, because it will be an actually a
00:12:05.018 --> 00:12:08.188
Fighting military.
00:12:08.188 --> 00:12:09.856
The only problem is
00:12:10.323 --> 00:12:11.691
They've chewed up a generation.
00:12:11.691 --> 00:12:15.228
So even though they have
00:12:15.228 --> 00:12:17.297
Far more men than does ukraine,
00:12:17.297 --> 00:12:21.034
It doesn't matter, because those who are fit
00:12:21.034 --> 00:12:24.070
And able to fight that percentage of their men,
00:12:24.070 --> 00:12:28.007
Many of them have been, unfortunately,
00:12:28.775 --> 00:12:31.711
To the president's words, wasted and killed.
00:12:31.711 --> 00:12:35.548
As you mentioned along the way, putin has gotten ammunition
00:12:36.716 --> 00:12:40.053
From north korea, but he's actually
00:12:40.053 --> 00:12:41.554
Also gotten troops from there.
00:12:41.554 --> 00:12:43.623
So i wonder if whatever peace deal is hopefully accomplished.
00:12:43.623 --> 00:12:47.126
You think this might just be a holding pattern
00:12:47.126 --> 00:12:49.028
Until he's able to rebuild
00:12:49.028 --> 00:12:50.263
More completely this broken military?
00:12:50.263 --> 00:12:52.131
You've spoken to?
00:12:52.131 --> 00:12:53.099
It's, but there's a lot of work to be done.
00:12:53.099 --> 00:12:54.734
It seems.
00:12:54.734 --> 00:12:57.070
I think i think really, that this will be the end of it
00:12:57.070 --> 00:13:00.406
For russia, that as far as, this type of warfare.
00:13:00.406 --> 00:13:04.611
Now, will they continue to work, sarah,
00:13:04.611 --> 00:13:08.314
Tenaciously behind the scenes?
00:13:08.314 --> 00:13:10.049
Will they continue clandestine operations?
00:13:10.049 --> 00:13:13.620
Yes, absolutely.
00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:14.888
They will try to influence the politics of the west.
00:13:14.888 --> 00:13:18.258
But if you look at that west and you look at
00:13:18.258 --> 00:13:20.426
What is on this western border, it's
00:13:21.194 --> 00:13:24.197
Nato countries and nato is a shell.
00:13:24.197 --> 00:13:27.800
It's been underinvested in.
00:13:28.401 --> 00:13:30.236
Most of the members have not been putting
00:13:30.236 --> 00:13:32.906
In their 2% of gdp investment.
00:13:32.906 --> 00:13:35.975
The german army, the bundesliga.
00:13:36.609 --> 00:13:38.778
They couldn't field an army for more than two weeks.
00:13:38.778 --> 00:13:41.881
And if you recall when what i call hillary's war,
00:13:41.881 --> 00:13:46.552
When we joined the eu and went down into,
00:13:46.552 --> 00:13:49.889
Libya, the eu ran out of ammunition
00:13:50.623 --> 00:13:54.527
After three days and the united states
00:13:54.527 --> 00:13:56.529
Had to supply the intelligence,
00:13:56.529 --> 00:13:58.564
Surveillance, reconnaissance and a lot of the ammunition.
00:13:58.564 --> 00:14:02.001
Well, we've been sending a lot of ammunition to ukraine.
00:14:02.001 --> 00:14:06.406
Our stockpiles are low,
00:14:06.406 --> 00:14:08.341
And we've been firing half million dollar missiles
00:14:08.341 --> 00:14:10.910
At $20,000.
00:14:10.910 --> 00:14:12.045
Drones launched by the.
00:14:12.045 --> 00:14:14.681
So there's going to have to be a reconciliation here
00:14:14.681 --> 00:14:19.252
Where we look at the books, look at the store,
00:14:19.252 --> 00:14:21.621
The stockpiles and see what we've got.
00:14:21.621 --> 00:14:24.657
And our stuff is very exquisite.
00:14:24.657 --> 00:14:28.461
Therefore,
00:14:28.761 --> 00:14:29.696
You can't just be the arsenal of democracy.
00:14:29.696 --> 00:14:32.332
Turn on the factories and crank this stuff out.
00:14:32.332 --> 00:14:35.134
It requires thousands of parts and all you
00:14:35.134 --> 00:14:37.870
All you have to do is have one part
00:14:37.870 --> 00:14:41.074
In the supply chain missing, and the whole weapon is useless.
00:14:41.074 --> 00:14:44.610
It's not the weapon.
00:14:45.078 --> 00:14:46.279
It's just a bunch of parts waiting for that key element.
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:49.215
So, the president
00:14:49.215 --> 00:14:51.818
Has been absolutely insistent
00:14:51.818 --> 00:14:54.487
On bringing capabilities back to the united states
00:14:54.487 --> 00:14:57.991
So that we are no longer dependent on foreign nations.
00:14:57.991 --> 00:15:01.794
That's going to be a tough job.
00:15:01.794 --> 00:15:03.229
It's going to take a while.
00:15:03.229 --> 00:15:04.897
But the first things first
00:15:04.897 --> 00:15:07.934
Are the defense industry and pharmaceuticals,
00:15:07.934 --> 00:15:11.637
Because we need to be able to to provide the defense
00:15:11.637 --> 00:15:15.274
And to handle, epidemics
00:15:15.274 --> 00:15:18.678
And, and other things that require, a robust,
00:15:18.678 --> 00:15:22.415
Pharmaceutical industry.
00:15:22.949 --> 00:15:25.518
Well, captain ash, thank you for your time today.
00:15:25.518 --> 00:15:28.554
Will you be able to stay for another program
00:15:28.554 --> 00:15:30.390
So we could cover some more of the topics
00:15:30.390 --> 00:15:32.225
That are pushing us into the news?
00:15:32.225 --> 00:15:34.360
I'd be very happy to. great.
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.729
Well, next up, my thoughts on
00:15:36.729 --> 00:15:38.097
What the rest of us can do to help.
00:15:38.097 --> 00:15:39.465
It's not just a pentagon issue.
00:15:39.465 --> 00:15:41.801
I'll be right back.
00:15:41.801 --> 00:15:50.003
I'll be right back.
00:15:50.003 --> 00:15:54.214
When the ukraine war first began.
00:15:54.948 --> 00:15:57.017
For weeks,
00:15:57.017 --> 00:15:57.584
I was on zoom
00:15:57.584 --> 00:15:58.452
Calls on a regular basis with leaders
00:15:58.452 --> 00:16:00.287
In the christian community of ukraine.
00:16:00.287 --> 00:16:02.456
It was tragic to hear the stories.
00:16:02.456 --> 00:16:04.224
The civilian populations being targeted,
00:16:04.224 --> 00:16:06.460
The apartment buildings
00:16:06.460 --> 00:16:07.428
That were being decimated by rocket fire.
00:16:07.428 --> 00:16:09.963
We bought vans. we sent food and clothing.
00:16:09.963 --> 00:16:12.433
We were doing whatever we could
00:16:12.433 --> 00:16:13.634
To provide support and resources
00:16:13.634 --> 00:16:15.369
For the people that were trapped in that horrific conflict.
00:16:15.369 --> 00:16:19.339
Unfortunately, it seems the leadership
00:16:19.339 --> 00:16:20.908
Of russia and the leadership of ukraine,
00:16:20.908 --> 00:16:23.610
Not in a rush to bring an end to that war
00:16:23.610 --> 00:16:25.612
That has cost more than a million lives.
00:16:25.612 --> 00:16:28.182
It's as if human life is expendable.
00:16:28.182 --> 00:16:30.084
Just another number.
00:16:30.084 --> 00:16:31.952
Well, i'm thankful for the grown up voices that are saying
00:16:31.952 --> 00:16:34.922
We have to bring a resolution
00:16:34.922 --> 00:16:36.290
To that conflict, because life is indeed precious.
00:16:36.290 --> 00:16:40.260
Well, i want to remind you that this monday is memorial day.
00:16:40.260 --> 00:16:43.964
And while many will be participating in barbecues
00:16:43.964 --> 00:16:46.700
And enjoying an extra day off from work,
00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:49.136
Let's not forget the solemn reason for this holiday
00:16:49.136 --> 00:16:52.172
To honor the people who gave their lives to protect ours.
00:16:52.172 --> 00:16:55.709
Since the american revolution, more than 1.3
00:16:55.709 --> 00:16:58.345
Million americans have died protecting our freedoms.
00:16:58.345 --> 00:17:02.249
Let this memorial day be one of reflection and reverence
00:17:02.249 --> 00:17:05.352
As we honor those brave soldiers.
00:17:05.352 --> 00:17:07.121
Men and women who didn't seek their own interest
00:17:07.121 --> 00:17:09.857
But instead sacrificed their lives to protect ours.
00:17:09.857 --> 00:17:13.360
Over this holiday weekend.
00:17:13.360 --> 00:17:14.895
Take time to stop your normal daily activities to remember
00:17:14.895 --> 00:17:18.465
Those who gave their lives so that we could have normal days.
00:17:18.465 --> 00:17:22.870
Let's also honor their sacrifice by considering
00:17:22.870 --> 00:17:25.139
What would be said of us.
00:17:25.139 --> 00:17:27.141
Are we willing to endure hardship
00:17:27.141 --> 00:17:28.775
And even loss to protect the freedoms
00:17:28.775 --> 00:17:30.344
Of our children and grandchildren?
00:17:30.344 --> 00:17:32.379
If we want to see our communities change, we use.
00:17:32.379 --> 00:17:34.982
The church must have the courage to raise our voices
00:17:34.982 --> 00:17:37.451
In a new way, even at the risk of persecution.
00:17:37.451 --> 00:17:40.921
Let's show the boldness of the people of god and faith.
00:17:40.921 --> 00:17:44.091
It's not unique to our generation.
00:17:44.091 --> 00:17:46.260
You know, it's one thing to serve the lord with it.
00:17:46.260 --> 00:17:47.861
Bring smiles and gratitude.
00:17:47.861 --> 00:17:49.229
It's something altogether different
00:17:49.229 --> 00:17:50.831
When it brings anger and resentment.
00:17:50.831 --> 00:17:53.300
If we'll choose to honor god,
00:17:53.300 --> 00:17:54.968
I promise there's more reasons for hope than despair.
00:17:54.968 --> 00:17:58.605
I'll be back with your emails in just a moment.
00:17:58.605 --> 00:18:01.275
Stay with us.
00:18:01.275 --> 00:18:09.006
Stay with us.
00:18:09.006 --> 00:18:13.520
And we thank you so much for
00:18:14.121 --> 00:18:15.656
Taking the time to watch our program.
00:18:15.656 --> 00:18:17.491
Just a reminder you can go to aj now.com.
00:18:17.491 --> 00:18:20.928
There's an archive there of all the programs
00:18:20.928 --> 00:18:22.796
You can catch up on, the ones you may miss.
00:18:22.796 --> 00:18:24.965
You can even sign up for a free newsletter
00:18:24.965 --> 00:18:27.167
That will keep you up to speed
00:18:27.167 --> 00:18:28.669
On all that's happening around our program
00:18:28.669 --> 00:18:31.171
And maybe most importantly, share the idea with a friend.
00:18:31.171 --> 00:18:34.007
Get your friends to watch
00:18:34.007 --> 00:18:35.008
And we can share the truth with more people.
00:18:35.008 --> 00:18:37.544
Thanks for your emails are always a highlight.
00:18:37.544 --> 00:18:40.047
Ruth from california noted your new show and weekly
00:18:40.047 --> 00:18:42.549
Ministries are wonderful.
00:18:42.549 --> 00:18:43.584
They bless me to know more about
00:18:43.584 --> 00:18:44.985
God's character than i ever knew.
00:18:44.985 --> 00:18:47.087
But here's a question for you.
00:18:47.087 --> 00:18:48.288
Why don't the european countries that constantly
00:18:48.288 --> 00:18:50.324
Complain about israel not giving the palestinians aid
00:18:50.324 --> 00:18:53.393
Know that every bit of food or medical aid
00:18:53.393 --> 00:18:55.329
Is taken by hamas, or that hamas doesn't give those items
00:18:55.329 --> 00:18:57.998
To the palestinian people or to the hostages either?
00:18:57.998 --> 00:19:02.069
I don't think it's a lack of awareness.
00:19:02.069 --> 00:19:03.804
I think it's a lack of concern.
00:19:03.804 --> 00:19:05.939
It's politically expedient to keep the that
00:19:05.939 --> 00:19:09.409
Palestinian topic one of agitation against israel.
00:19:09.409 --> 00:19:13.280
We'll have to have a hard change
00:19:13.280 --> 00:19:14.448
Before we get to a political change.
00:19:14.448 --> 00:19:16.550
Robin, email.
00:19:16.917 --> 00:19:17.951
Can you put more of the culture
00:19:17.951 --> 00:19:19.286
And christianity podcast shows on fridays?
00:19:19.286 --> 00:19:22.189
I like the one you had on.
00:19:22.189 --> 00:19:23.457
It was really good.
00:19:23.457 --> 00:19:24.858
Well, robin, we'll see what we can do.
00:19:24.858 --> 00:19:26.960
Thanks for the suggestion.
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:29.029
And finally, a viewer
00:19:29.029 --> 00:19:30.130
Commented on the youtube episode with pete peterson.
00:19:30.130 --> 00:19:33.300
I love this broadcast.
00:19:33.300 --> 00:19:34.668
I'm in agreement with you,
00:19:34.668 --> 00:19:35.869
But this also gives me understanding
00:19:35.869 --> 00:19:37.504
And insight on what i don't know.
00:19:37.504 --> 00:19:39.673
Thank you for your guest
00:19:39.673 --> 00:19:40.774
And the wisdom of the
00:19:40.774 --> 00:19:41.742
Holy spirit which guides you so you can give
00:19:41.742 --> 00:19:43.510
What we need to learn about now and what god has in store.
00:19:43.510 --> 00:19:46.880
Bless you.
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:48.515
Well, thank you for the encouragement
00:19:48.515 --> 00:19:49.983
And i agree.
00:19:49.983 --> 00:19:50.884
I learned from our guests every program.
00:19:50.884 --> 00:19:53.153
I seem to go away from the program
00:19:53.153 --> 00:19:54.488
Feeling like i've been to school.
00:19:54.488 --> 00:19:56.323
I hope you have that same feeling.
00:19:56.323 --> 00:19:58.759
Then.
00:19:58.759 --> 00:19:59.293
Kathy, im from florida
00:19:59.293 --> 00:20:00.394
And we love this program and your sunday teachings.
00:20:00.394 --> 00:20:02.729
You remind us that there's more reason for hope than despair.
00:20:02.729 --> 00:20:05.365
We need the daily encouragement of those words
00:20:05.365 --> 00:20:07.234
From a pastor who really believes this.
00:20:07.234 --> 00:20:09.636
Well, i'm grateful for the opportunity,
00:20:09.636 --> 00:20:11.171
But you could use your words
00:20:11.171 --> 00:20:12.939
To be a voice of encouragement to the people around you.
00:20:12.939 --> 00:20:15.442
And that way we can pay it forward.
00:20:15.442 --> 00:20:18.045
Thank you for watching tonight.
00:20:18.045 --> 00:20:19.813
I'm alan jackson, and i pray you have a wonderful evening.
00:20:19.813 --> 00:20:19.813
