Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Iran Tactics | Allen Jackson Now | June 11, 2026
  • Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:00:17.709 --> 00:00:20.645
  • I'm alan jackson.
  • 00:00:20.645 --> 00:00:22.214
  • You know, when looking at world
  • 00:00:22.214 --> 00:00:23.248
  • Events, we often treat them as separate stories.
  • 00:00:23.248 --> 00:00:26.485
  • China, russia, north korea, iran.
  • 00:00:26.485 --> 00:00:29.221
  • But increasingly, those stories appear connected.
  • 00:00:29.221 --> 00:00:32.591
  • China's president xi jinping.
  • 00:00:32.591 --> 00:00:34.559
  • Well, he recently traveled to north korea
  • 00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:36.294
  • For a highly symbolic visit that showcased
  • 00:00:36.294 --> 00:00:38.563
  • A growing partnership between the two nations.
  • 00:00:38.563 --> 00:00:41.299
  • Meanwhile, north korea well, they've strengthened ties
  • 00:00:41.299 --> 00:00:43.835
  • With russia,
  • 00:00:43.835 --> 00:00:45.003
  • Providing support for moscow's war effort in ukraine.
  • 00:00:45.003 --> 00:00:48.573
  • Then, less than a week after
  • 00:00:48.573 --> 00:00:49.608
  • President trump's summit with xi jinping,
  • 00:00:49.608 --> 00:00:52.244
  • Russian president vladimir putin was invited to china,
  • 00:00:52.244 --> 00:00:55.480
  • Suggesting these leaders are coordinating
  • 00:00:55.480 --> 00:00:57.382
  • Their response to a rapidly changing world.
  • 00:00:57.382 --> 00:01:00.519
  • Well, meanwhile, iran,
  • 00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:01.686
  • They continue to challenge the united states and israel
  • 00:01:01.686 --> 00:01:04.589
  • Even after suffering significant military setbacks.
  • 00:01:04.589 --> 00:01:08.460
  • The regime's leadership may change,
  • 00:01:08.460 --> 00:01:10.195
  • Its capabilities may be weakened,
  • 00:01:10.195 --> 00:01:12.464
  • But its radical ideology remains intact.
  • 00:01:12.464 --> 00:01:15.667
  • However, the iranian regime may have
  • 00:01:15.667 --> 00:01:17.302
  • Finally overplayed its hand
  • 00:01:17.302 --> 00:01:19.304
  • After iran was blamed for the downing of a u.s.
  • 00:01:19.304 --> 00:01:21.740
  • Army apache helicopter near the strait of hormuz.
  • 00:01:21.740 --> 00:01:24.643
  • President trump ordered retaliatory strikes
  • 00:01:24.643 --> 00:01:27.245
  • Against iranian air defense systems,
  • 00:01:27.245 --> 00:01:29.414
  • Ground control stations and radar sites.
  • 00:01:29.414 --> 00:01:31.983
  • Trump later revealed that senior iranian officials
  • 00:01:31.983 --> 00:01:34.719
  • Contacted him directly.
  • 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:36.655
  • They were seeking a halt to the u.s.
  • 00:01:36.655 --> 00:01:38.023
  • Bombing campaign.
  • 00:01:38.023 --> 00:01:39.658
  • Has the regime finally begun to understand that aggression
  • 00:01:39.658 --> 00:01:42.260
  • Carries consequences?
  • 00:01:42.260 --> 00:01:43.795
  • Just how closely are china, russia and north korea
  • 00:01:43.795 --> 00:01:46.431
  • Coordinating with iran behind the scenes?
  • 00:01:46.431 --> 00:01:49.234
  • And could lasting peace be achieved
  • 00:01:49.234 --> 00:01:50.869
  • If evil is not confronted with strength and resolve?
  • 00:01:50.869 --> 00:01:53.972
  • You know, our experiences together
  • 00:01:54.739 --> 00:01:56.107
  • Since the start of this decade
  • 00:01:56.107 --> 00:01:57.642
  • Have been very insightful and very different
  • 00:01:57.642 --> 00:01:59.711
  • Than any previous experiences we've had.
  • 00:01:59.711 --> 00:02:02.247
  • We faced a pandemic china, the country where it originated.
  • 00:02:02.247 --> 00:02:06.084
  • Well, they hid the facts from the world. they denied it.
  • 00:02:06.084 --> 00:02:08.086
  • They did their best to cover it up.
  • 00:02:08.086 --> 00:02:09.955
  • Billions of lives were affected
  • 00:02:09.955 --> 00:02:11.690
  • Around the earth due to the virus.
  • 00:02:11.690 --> 00:02:13.658
  • The mandated measures
  • 00:02:13.658 --> 00:02:14.793
  • That were taken to stop the spread affected everyone.
  • 00:02:14.793 --> 00:02:17.929
  • Well, china never suffered any true consequences
  • 00:02:17.929 --> 00:02:19.965
  • For the devastation they unleashed.
  • 00:02:19.965 --> 00:02:22.334
  • The ukraine war started by putin.
  • 00:02:22.334 --> 00:02:24.369
  • It's caused
  • 00:02:24.369 --> 00:02:25.604
  • Millions of people to endure tremendous suffering and death.
  • 00:02:25.604 --> 00:02:28.540
  • Ballistic missiles the size of telephone poles
  • 00:02:28.540 --> 00:02:31.243
  • Have struck apartment buildings in ukraine,
  • 00:02:31.243 --> 00:02:33.011
  • Where only women and children were living.
  • 00:02:33.011 --> 00:02:35.113
  • Entire cities have been leveled to rubble.
  • 00:02:35.113 --> 00:02:38.216
  • Meanwhile, the iranians.
  • 00:02:38.216 --> 00:02:39.618
  • Well, they're receiving intelligence
  • 00:02:39.618 --> 00:02:40.986
  • Assistance from russia and from china
  • 00:02:40.986 --> 00:02:42.988
  • In order to target our troops in the middle east,
  • 00:02:42.988 --> 00:02:46.091
  • Even though diminishing the
  • 00:02:46.691 --> 00:02:47.792
  • Evil regime in iran is clearly in the best
  • 00:02:47.792 --> 00:02:49.794
  • Interest of the global community.
  • 00:02:49.794 --> 00:02:51.630
  • Why are china and russia so open to helping them?
  • 00:02:51.630 --> 00:02:54.933
  • North korea has been a key
  • 00:02:54.933 --> 00:02:56.234
  • Supplier of missile technology to iran for decades.
  • 00:02:56.234 --> 00:02:59.638
  • And why is iran so willing to cozy up to nations like china,
  • 00:02:59.638 --> 00:03:02.741
  • Russia and north korea,
  • 00:03:02.741 --> 00:03:04.175
  • Even though they have radically different ideologies?
  • 00:03:04.175 --> 00:03:07.212
  • Well, there's a glow with these oppressive regimes,
  • 00:03:07.212 --> 00:03:09.714
  • Even though they have different religions.
  • 00:03:09.714 --> 00:03:11.316
  • The spirit in all of these places
  • 00:03:11.316 --> 00:03:12.984
  • Is in opposition to a biblical worldview.
  • 00:03:12.984 --> 00:03:15.720
  • They have a disregard for human life and human rights.
  • 00:03:15.720 --> 00:03:18.590
  • They are very much authoritarian.
  • 00:03:18.590 --> 00:03:21.259
  • The late ayatollah in iran, he was a murderous, evil person
  • 00:03:21.259 --> 00:03:24.729
  • Killing tens of thousands
  • 00:03:24.729 --> 00:03:25.864
  • Of his own citizens in a matter of days.
  • 00:03:25.864 --> 00:03:28.433
  • In russia today, citizens can face torture in prison,
  • 00:03:28.433 --> 00:03:32.370
  • Including beatings, electric shocks, suffocation
  • 00:03:32.370 --> 00:03:36.107
  • Just for posting anti-war messages online
  • 00:03:36.107 --> 00:03:38.877
  • Or publicly disagreeing with government policy.
  • 00:03:38.877 --> 00:03:42.213
  • Open doors, an organization that raises awareness
  • 00:03:42.213 --> 00:03:44.649
  • Of christian persecution around the world.
  • 00:03:44.649 --> 00:03:46.785
  • Well, they've ranked north korea as the number one
  • 00:03:46.785 --> 00:03:48.787
  • Most dangerous country for christians.
  • 00:03:48.787 --> 00:03:51.122
  • The regime considers christianity
  • 00:03:51.122 --> 00:03:52.857
  • An existential threat in north korea.
  • 00:03:52.857 --> 00:03:55.894
  • Owning a bible can cost you your life
  • 00:03:55.894 --> 00:03:58.363
  • Or send your entire family to a labor camp in iran.
  • 00:03:58.363 --> 00:04:02.133
  • Christian converts are arrested and imprisoned.
  • 00:04:02.133 --> 00:04:05.003
  • In china, churches are monitored, pastors
  • 00:04:05.003 --> 00:04:07.505
  • Detained, and only state approved religion is allowed.
  • 00:04:07.505 --> 00:04:10.675
  • See, there's a spirit that binds that together.
  • 00:04:10.675 --> 00:04:12.944
  • And the politics emerge from that spiritual base.
  • 00:04:12.944 --> 00:04:16.214
  • Politics is symptomatic.
  • 00:04:16.214 --> 00:04:18.283
  • Spiritual forces are causal.
  • 00:04:18.283 --> 00:04:21.086
  • That's why it's essential that the church in america
  • 00:04:21.086 --> 00:04:23.788
  • Stay engaged with culture and not just repeat
  • 00:04:23.788 --> 00:04:27.092
  • Theological history.
  • 00:04:27.092 --> 00:04:28.993
  • We're seeing ideologies found in these adversarial nations.
  • 00:04:28.993 --> 00:04:32.263
  • Communism. socialism. marxism.
  • 00:04:32.263 --> 00:04:34.566
  • It's taking root in major cities of our own nation.
  • 00:04:34.566 --> 00:04:38.303
  • Around 90 candidates endorsed by the democratic socialists
  • 00:04:38.303 --> 00:04:41.306
  • Of america will appear on ballots nationwide.
  • 00:04:41.306 --> 00:04:44.442
  • This november.
  • 00:04:44.442 --> 00:04:46.277
  • This follows the momentum from last november,
  • 00:04:46.277 --> 00:04:48.346
  • When democratic socialist won mayors
  • 00:04:48.346 --> 00:04:50.181
  • Races in new york and seattle and ten other electoral races.
  • 00:04:50.181 --> 00:04:54.119
  • The socialist surge.
  • 00:04:54.586 --> 00:04:55.854
  • It's not coming. it has arrived.
  • 00:04:55.854 --> 00:04:58.990
  • It's only our profound ignorance that gets individuals
  • 00:04:58.990 --> 00:05:01.693
  • Who propose the virtues of socialism elected to office.
  • 00:05:01.693 --> 00:05:05.230
  • The problem, it seems, is christians are just too timid.
  • 00:05:05.230 --> 00:05:08.666
  • We've been told for so long
  • 00:05:08.666 --> 00:05:10.301
  • That we're supposed to separate the church in the state
  • 00:05:10.301 --> 00:05:12.971
  • That when the church steps back from presenting
  • 00:05:12.971 --> 00:05:14.839
  • A biblical worldview and shaping culture, it creates a vacuum.
  • 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:18.610
  • And when we withdraw,
  • 00:05:19.110 --> 00:05:20.412
  • Something else will always move in to fill that space.
  • 00:05:20.412 --> 00:05:23.515
  • If we will speak truth and judge with truth is our standard.
  • 00:05:23.515 --> 00:05:27.852
  • We will redeem a home, a community and a culture,
  • 00:05:27.852 --> 00:05:31.489
  • And our nation will experience better outcomes.
  • 00:05:31.489 --> 00:05:34.392
  • Will walmart joining us will be colonel allen west.
  • 00:05:35.393 --> 00:05:38.062
  • He's standing by right now in dallas.
  • 00:05:38.062 --> 00:05:40.498
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:05:40.498 --> 00:05:47.008
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:05:47.008 --> 00:05:53.279
  • Well, tonight
  • 00:05:53.646 --> 00:05:54.547
  • We're joined by the executive director
  • 00:05:54.547 --> 00:05:55.915
  • Of the
  • 00:05:55.915 --> 00:05:57.082
  • American constitutional rights union, colonel allen west.
  • 00:05:57.082 --> 00:05:59.852
  • Welcome to the show, colonel west, sir.
  • 00:05:59.852 --> 00:06:02.621
  • Pastors, always a pleasure to be with you.
  • 00:06:02.621 --> 00:06:04.223
  • Thank you so much.
  • 00:06:04.223 --> 00:06:05.257
  • I know you got deep roots in tennessee.
  • 00:06:05.257 --> 00:06:06.892
  • I like that orange jacket.
  • 00:06:06.892 --> 00:06:08.427
  • Hey, go big orange.
  • 00:06:08.427 --> 00:06:11.230
  • Well, u.s.
  • 00:06:11.230 --> 00:06:12.064
  • Strikes against iran picked up again
  • 00:06:12.064 --> 00:06:13.532
  • This week after their attack on our apache helicopter.
  • 00:06:13.532 --> 00:06:16.802
  • I know last night or one night, there's been some bombing,
  • 00:06:16.802 --> 00:06:19.171
  • And now trump seems to have suspended any further attacks.
  • 00:06:19.171 --> 00:06:22.608
  • I know you'll have an opinion.
  • 00:06:22.608 --> 00:06:24.109
  • What is the way through?
  • 00:06:24.109 --> 00:06:25.277
  • What seems to be a quagmire at the moment?
  • 00:06:25.277 --> 00:06:27.913
  • Well, it's not so much an opinion.
  • 00:06:28.681 --> 00:06:30.516
  • It's an assessment
  • 00:06:30.516 --> 00:06:31.717
  • Based upon my 22 years in the military
  • 00:06:31.717 --> 00:06:34.220
  • And also spending time in that
  • 00:06:34.220 --> 00:06:36.021
  • In that region of the middle east.
  • 00:06:36.021 --> 00:06:37.990
  • They understand strength and might.
  • 00:06:37.990 --> 00:06:39.391
  • And when you continue to vacillate,
  • 00:06:39.391 --> 00:06:41.126
  • You know we're going to attack.
  • 00:06:41.126 --> 00:06:42.094
  • We're not going to attack is going to be the
  • 00:06:42.094 --> 00:06:44.230
  • The end of all civilization, though,
  • 00:06:44.230 --> 00:06:46.499
  • Is not going to be the end of all civilization.
  • 00:06:46.499 --> 00:06:48.634
  • You know, the thing is that
  • 00:06:48.634 --> 00:06:50.469
  • Deals are a business transaction.
  • 00:06:50.469 --> 00:06:52.471
  • You cannot have a business transaction
  • 00:06:52.471 --> 00:06:54.673
  • With the number one sponsor of islamic terrorism
  • 00:06:54.673 --> 00:06:56.842
  • In the world, and a brutal regime
  • 00:06:56.842 --> 00:06:58.777
  • That will murder his own people, such as what we have in iran.
  • 00:06:58.777 --> 00:07:02.381
  • You have to continue to put that type of pressure on them.
  • 00:07:02.381 --> 00:07:04.917
  • And what we say in the military is operational tempo.
  • 00:07:04.917 --> 00:07:07.753
  • And when you start and stop and start and stop just the same
  • 00:07:07.753 --> 00:07:10.689
  • As with a car engine, i mean, you will degrade that
  • 00:07:10.689 --> 00:07:13.158
  • Car engine.
  • 00:07:13.158 --> 00:07:14.026
  • So i would have liked to have
  • 00:07:14.026 --> 00:07:15.461
  • Seen us keep the pressure on them.
  • 00:07:15.461 --> 00:07:17.463
  • Back, in march, we should have gone
  • 00:07:17.463 --> 00:07:20.232
  • After seizing control of the straits of hormuz
  • 00:07:20.232 --> 00:07:23.135
  • And not have this negotiating with iran
  • 00:07:23.135 --> 00:07:25.804
  • Over the control of the straits or opening up the straits.
  • 00:07:25.804 --> 00:07:28.274
  • And we should have also
  • 00:07:28.274 --> 00:07:29.475
  • Separated them from their oil
  • 00:07:29.475 --> 00:07:31.110
  • And gas revenue flow, which is a car island.
  • 00:07:31.110 --> 00:07:34.213
  • And we should have taken that over
  • 00:07:34.213 --> 00:07:35.614
  • To ensure that we had the free flow
  • 00:07:35.614 --> 00:07:37.550
  • Of those energy resources through the straits of hormuz.
  • 00:07:37.550 --> 00:07:40.553
  • So i think this is a little bit of confusion going on here.
  • 00:07:40.553 --> 00:07:44.823
  • I'd like to know what phase we are in in this operation.
  • 00:07:44.823 --> 00:07:47.960
  • What are our measures of effectiveness?
  • 00:07:47.960 --> 00:07:49.662
  • What are our strategic,
  • 00:07:49.662 --> 00:07:51.196
  • Operational, tactical tasks that have been accomplished?
  • 00:07:51.196 --> 00:07:54.300
  • Because i just, i just don't get that sense
  • 00:07:54.300 --> 00:07:56.936
  • That we're on the right track right now.
  • 00:07:56.936 --> 00:07:58.737
  • You know, it feels like to me, there's a combination
  • 00:07:59.772 --> 00:08:02.007
  • Of political pressure and military objectives.
  • 00:08:02.007 --> 00:08:05.244
  • You have served in both roles in the military and in congress.
  • 00:08:05.244 --> 00:08:08.948
  • Help us understand that,
  • 00:08:09.481 --> 00:08:10.416
  • Because it feels like to be the president
  • 00:08:10.416 --> 00:08:11.650
  • Trying to balance
  • 00:08:11.650 --> 00:08:12.885
  • Both of those while he sees an upcoming midterm election,
  • 00:08:12.885 --> 00:08:15.754
  • And he's got to make decisions in the midst
  • 00:08:15.754 --> 00:08:17.122
  • Of all those multiple voices and multiple pressures.
  • 00:08:17.122 --> 00:08:20.192
  • So how do you stand? that's priorities.
  • 00:08:20.192 --> 00:08:22.428
  • Yeah,
  • 00:08:22.428 --> 00:08:23.329
  • That's why i would have kept the pressure
  • 00:08:23.329 --> 00:08:24.296
  • On to to make sure that this was concluded.
  • 00:08:24.296 --> 00:08:26.465
  • And we made sure
  • 00:08:26.465 --> 00:08:27.666
  • That we had that free flow of oil,
  • 00:08:27.666 --> 00:08:29.201
  • Which does not affect the economy.
  • 00:08:29.201 --> 00:08:31.804
  • And because we did see a rise in the inflation, in the month
  • 00:08:31.804 --> 00:08:35.207
  • Of may because of the energy resources being a constraint.
  • 00:08:35.207 --> 00:08:39.445
  • When you
  • 00:08:39.712 --> 00:08:40.646
  • When you talk about, you know, this thing
  • 00:08:40.646 --> 00:08:41.780
  • About politics of war, carbon, clausewitz, the,
  • 00:08:41.780 --> 00:08:44.583
  • Prussian military strategist, said that the war is
  • 00:08:44.583 --> 00:08:47.620
  • Just a continuation of politics and policy by another means.
  • 00:08:47.620 --> 00:08:51.156
  • And so when you're dealing with these people
  • 00:08:51.156 --> 00:08:53.125
  • That only understand
  • 00:08:53.125 --> 00:08:54.026
  • Stress in mind, first and foremost,
  • 00:08:54.026 --> 00:08:55.728
  • Who are we really negotiating with?
  • 00:08:55.728 --> 00:08:57.563
  • Because we can say
  • 00:08:57.563 --> 00:08:58.631
  • To we're sitting down with the foreign minister,
  • 00:08:58.631 --> 00:09:00.165
  • With the foreign minister in iran does not hold the,
  • 00:09:00.165 --> 00:09:03.002
  • The keys to power.
  • 00:09:03.002 --> 00:09:04.303
  • I would tell you that the, the radicals,
  • 00:09:04.303 --> 00:09:06.905
  • The the head of the iranian revolutionary guard corps
  • 00:09:06.905 --> 00:09:09.975
  • Is probably the one did is pulling most of the strings
  • 00:09:09.975 --> 00:09:12.177
  • Because he has the controls of the levers of the military.
  • 00:09:12.177 --> 00:09:16.382
  • And there is a difference
  • 00:09:16.382 --> 00:09:17.316
  • Between the irgc and the regular army.
  • 00:09:17.316 --> 00:09:19.351
  • And i think that, again, strategically
  • 00:09:19.351 --> 00:09:21.553
  • And maybe operationally, we should be looking to see
  • 00:09:21.553 --> 00:09:23.822
  • How we can create a chasm
  • 00:09:23.822 --> 00:09:25.491
  • In between the regular army and the irgc.
  • 00:09:25.491 --> 00:09:28.193
  • And that can maybe help to the people, to upper,
  • 00:09:28.193 --> 00:09:31.063
  • To rise up against this regime as well.
  • 00:09:31.063 --> 00:09:34.066
  • Where would
  • 00:09:34.400 --> 00:09:35.300
  • The momentum for that uprising come from?
  • 00:09:35.300 --> 00:09:37.803
  • I know the people don't have arms.
  • 00:09:37.803 --> 00:09:39.438
  • So are we going to need somebody in the irgc
  • 00:09:39.438 --> 00:09:42.541
  • That is going to turn and stand on behalf of the people?
  • 00:09:42.541 --> 00:09:45.411
  • Where's that momentum really going to come from?
  • 00:09:45.411 --> 00:09:47.246
  • Realistically,
  • 00:09:47.246 --> 00:09:48.681
  • You yeah,
  • 00:09:48.681 --> 00:09:49.114
  • I think the
  • 00:09:49.114 --> 00:09:49.982
  • We should go back to the old school
  • 00:09:49.982 --> 00:09:51.083
  • Saying that we did back in those year.
  • 00:09:51.083 --> 00:09:52.785
  • Desert storm knows a leaflet drops to try to,
  • 00:09:52.785 --> 00:09:56.088
  • Get to to foment that dissension between the regular army
  • 00:09:56.088 --> 00:09:59.658
  • Of iran
  • 00:09:59.658 --> 00:10:00.292
  • And the
  • 00:10:00.292 --> 00:10:01.493
  • Revolutionary guard corps and also maybe some of the lower
  • 00:10:01.493 --> 00:10:03.729
  • Level, troops in the iranian revolutionary guard corps.
  • 00:10:03.729 --> 00:10:07.800
  • They will be slipped as well.
  • 00:10:07.800 --> 00:10:09.368
  • And you can marry those folks up with the the people.
  • 00:10:09.368 --> 00:10:12.571
  • Then you have a force
  • 00:10:12.571 --> 00:10:13.772
  • On the ground, you know, are united states, green beret.
  • 00:10:13.772 --> 00:10:16.809
  • One of their missions is called foreign internal defense.
  • 00:10:16.809 --> 00:10:20.145
  • Field mission,
  • 00:10:20.145 --> 00:10:21.513
  • To help with, counterinsurgency, insurgency operations.
  • 00:10:21.513 --> 00:10:25.217
  • And, if we could get a special forces
  • 00:10:25.217 --> 00:10:27.352
  • A-team or two, much the same as we did at the beginning
  • 00:10:27.352 --> 00:10:30.456
  • With the, northern alliance against the taliban, al-qaeda
  • 00:10:30.456 --> 00:10:33.692
  • In afghanistan, that could be another avenue of approach.
  • 00:10:33.692 --> 00:10:37.262
  • Well, president trump, in an oval office interview yesterday
  • 00:10:38.430 --> 00:10:40.733
  • Said that
  • 00:10:40.733 --> 00:10:41.934
  • We've been sneaking some oil out, or at least past iran.
  • 00:10:41.934 --> 00:10:44.837
  • Listen to his comments.
  • 00:10:44.837 --> 00:10:47.172
  • You know, we've been taking out
  • 00:10:47.172 --> 00:10:49.441
  • Millions of barrels of oil.
  • 00:10:49.441 --> 00:10:52.144
  • Nobody knows it.
  • 00:10:52.144 --> 00:10:53.045
  • You know who doesn't know about it?
  • 00:10:53.045 --> 00:10:54.780
  • Iran. until right now.
  • 00:10:54.780 --> 00:10:58.016
  • We took out the other 922
  • 00:10:58.016 --> 00:10:59.885
  • Ships late at night
  • 00:10:59.885 --> 00:11:01.553
  • With no lights because they don't have any radar.
  • 00:11:01.553 --> 00:11:04.957
  • So no matter if they don't know or they're really powerless
  • 00:11:04.957 --> 00:11:07.226
  • To stop or just whatever reason, we're getting some oil
  • 00:11:07.226 --> 00:11:10.596
  • Out, apparently.
  • 00:11:10.596 --> 00:11:12.364
  • Yeah.
  • 00:11:12.364 --> 00:11:13.232
  • And i think that's a positive thing.
  • 00:11:13.232 --> 00:11:14.633
  • But also, i believe that
  • 00:11:14.633 --> 00:11:15.934
  • We should have full control of the strait of hormuz.
  • 00:11:15.934 --> 00:11:18.103
  • You know, back when i was a young major
  • 00:11:18.103 --> 00:11:19.505
  • At fort bragg, north carolina,
  • 00:11:19.505 --> 00:11:21.073
  • We did a battle simulation operation.
  • 00:11:21.073 --> 00:11:23.642
  • 82nd airborne division, where we went in and,
  • 00:11:23.642 --> 00:11:26.678
  • We seized control of bandar abbas and the strait of hormuz.
  • 00:11:26.678 --> 00:11:29.481
  • So we do have that operational plan that's sitting somewhere.
  • 00:11:29.481 --> 00:11:32.785
  • You just need to dusted off and, and executed.
  • 00:11:32.785 --> 00:11:35.187
  • As a matter of fact, we have a division ready brigade
  • 00:11:35.187 --> 00:11:37.456
  • From the 82nd
  • 00:11:37.456 --> 00:11:38.524
  • Airborne division over there in theater right now.
  • 00:11:38.524 --> 00:11:41.326
  • So i think that we have many options on the table.
  • 00:11:41.326 --> 00:11:43.695
  • And again, we need to clear the minefields there.
  • 00:11:43.695 --> 00:11:46.398
  • We have those capabilities and capacities.
  • 00:11:46.398 --> 00:11:48.133
  • We need to clear out
  • 00:11:48.133 --> 00:11:49.368
  • Those small attack boats that come out from along the coast.
  • 00:11:49.368 --> 00:11:52.237
  • We have the capability capacity to do that
  • 00:11:52.237 --> 00:11:54.773
  • And continue to degrade
  • 00:11:54.773 --> 00:11:56.008
  • Their ballistic missile and and drone capability as well.
  • 00:11:56.008 --> 00:11:59.845
  • Listen, i know no one wants boots on the ground.
  • 00:11:59.845 --> 00:12:02.314
  • Can we actually unseat this regime with just airstrikes
  • 00:12:02.314 --> 00:12:06.552
  • And blockades and economic pressure?
  • 00:12:06.552 --> 00:12:09.254
  • That's a part of it.
  • 00:12:09.721 --> 00:12:10.656
  • It's called a dime theory.
  • 00:12:10.656 --> 00:12:11.924
  • Diplomatic, informational, military and economic.
  • 00:12:11.924 --> 00:12:14.059
  • That's a part of it.
  • 00:12:14.059 --> 00:12:14.860
  • But without a doubt,
  • 00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:15.961
  • You're not going to see this
  • 00:12:15.961 --> 00:12:16.862
  • Massive force of 100,000 or 200,000
  • 00:12:16.862 --> 00:12:19.865
  • Like we saw on desert shield, desert storm, or even iraq.
  • 00:12:19.865 --> 00:12:23.001
  • But i do believe that
  • 00:12:23.001 --> 00:12:24.403
  • If you had these very focused operational objectives,
  • 00:12:24.403 --> 00:12:27.206
  • Like car guy and the like,
  • 00:12:27.206 --> 00:12:28.974
  • The straits of hormuz, like bandar abbas,
  • 00:12:28.974 --> 00:12:32.211
  • I think that's the extent to where you have to use
  • 00:12:32.211 --> 00:12:34.213
  • Some type of boots on the ground.
  • 00:12:34.213 --> 00:12:36.715
  • Mano a mano force to go in and seize
  • 00:12:36.715 --> 00:12:39.618
  • Those, operational pieces of terrain,
  • 00:12:39.618 --> 00:12:42.821
  • Which, again, this serves
  • 00:12:42.821 --> 00:12:44.523
  • A strategic purpose because it cuts iran off
  • 00:12:44.523 --> 00:12:47.359
  • From their number one source of revenue,
  • 00:12:47.359 --> 00:12:49.228
  • Which is the oil and gas.
  • 00:12:49.228 --> 00:12:50.429
  • And it also sends a message to china as well.
  • 00:12:50.429 --> 00:12:53.732
  • Well, colonel west, we need to take a short break.
  • 00:12:53.732 --> 00:12:55.400
  • Can you stand by for another segment?
  • 00:12:55.400 --> 00:12:57.636
  • Absolutely. pleasure.
  • 00:12:57.636 --> 00:12:58.937
  • For those of you watching, if you haven't have a phone
  • 00:12:58.937 --> 00:13:00.672
  • Nearby,
  • 00:13:00.672 --> 00:13:01.740
  • You can log in to aj now.com and send us an email
  • 00:13:01.740 --> 00:13:04.309
  • With your thoughts on this discussion.
  • 00:13:04.309 --> 00:13:06.411
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:13:06.411 --> 00:13:14.000
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:18.892
  • We're back now
  • 00:13:19.225 --> 00:13:20.460
  • With the executive director of the ecru, colonel allen west.
  • 00:13:20.460 --> 00:13:24.030
  • Colonel, the foreign intelligence
  • 00:13:24.030 --> 00:13:25.331
  • Surveillance act, the fisa act,
  • 00:13:25.331 --> 00:13:27.967
  • Section 702, is set to expire at the end of this week.
  • 00:13:27.967 --> 00:13:30.937
  • The democrats seem to want it to expire.
  • 00:13:30.937 --> 00:13:33.206
  • The republicans would like to extend it.
  • 00:13:33.206 --> 00:13:35.975
  • What are your thoughts?
  • 00:13:35.975 --> 00:13:38.344
  • You know, i'm always leery about this.
  • 00:13:38.344 --> 00:13:40.313
  • This was something that,
  • 00:13:40.313 --> 00:13:41.748
  • When i was in congress that we had to vote
  • 00:13:41.748 --> 00:13:43.516
  • For a five year extension.
  • 00:13:43.516 --> 00:13:45.385
  • I voted for a three month extension to better study it.
  • 00:13:45.385 --> 00:13:48.187
  • But you always have to be careful
  • 00:13:48.187 --> 00:13:49.522
  • About these things faster, jackson.
  • 00:13:49.522 --> 00:13:51.157
  • Because what happens when you know
  • 00:13:51.157 --> 00:13:53.393
  • The political opposition get something a tool like fisa.
  • 00:13:53.393 --> 00:13:57.263
  • And i think we saw that with the obama administration,
  • 00:13:57.263 --> 00:13:59.866
  • What they did
  • 00:13:59.866 --> 00:14:00.433
  • To president trump
  • 00:14:00.433 --> 00:14:01.868
  • And of course, during his transition, coming in
  • 00:14:01.868 --> 00:14:04.537
  • As the new commander in chief back after the 2016 election.
  • 00:14:04.537 --> 00:14:08.508
  • So we got to make sure that things that were intended
  • 00:14:08.508 --> 00:14:11.978
  • For all the right reasons can not be used
  • 00:14:11.978 --> 00:14:13.880
  • For nefarious purpose and reason.
  • 00:14:13.880 --> 00:14:15.982
  • And i'll tell you that, after the covid,
  • 00:14:15.982 --> 00:14:18.851
  • You know, issue and everything,
  • 00:14:18.851 --> 00:14:20.153
  • There are a lot of people out there
  • 00:14:20.153 --> 00:14:21.354
  • That aren't really trusting about,
  • 00:14:21.354 --> 00:14:23.122
  • You know, quote unquote, surveillance
  • 00:14:23.122 --> 00:14:25.158
  • And how sometimes
  • 00:14:25.158 --> 00:14:26.326
  • American citizens can get caught up into this.
  • 00:14:26.326 --> 00:14:29.195
  • Absolutely.
  • 00:14:29.195 --> 00:14:30.430
  • The secure america act was recently passed.
  • 00:14:30.430 --> 00:14:32.532
  • It ensured funding for ice and cbp.
  • 00:14:32.532 --> 00:14:35.835
  • No thanks to the democrats.
  • 00:14:35.835 --> 00:14:37.303
  • They all voted against it.
  • 00:14:37.303 --> 00:14:39.405
  • You know,
  • 00:14:39.405 --> 00:14:40.306
  • It seems like we have too many leaders
  • 00:14:40.306 --> 00:14:41.174
  • That continue to put illegal aliens
  • 00:14:41.174 --> 00:14:42.542
  • Ahead of the rights of american citizens.
  • 00:14:42.542 --> 00:14:44.877
  • Do you think we're ever going to wake up to this reality?
  • 00:14:44.877 --> 00:14:47.847
  • I hope we do.
  • 00:14:48.214 --> 00:14:49.115
  • We have to make this a preeminent issue
  • 00:14:49.115 --> 00:14:50.883
  • Going into the midterms.
  • 00:14:50.883 --> 00:14:52.018
  • You know, i was just recently listening
  • 00:14:52.018 --> 00:14:53.519
  • To the comments of the, dhs secretary mullen.
  • 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:57.023
  • And when he is talking about all of the,
  • 00:14:57.023 --> 00:14:59.759
  • Unaccounted for children that have been found.
  • 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.762
  • You know, that's what we need ice for.
  • 00:15:02.762 --> 00:15:04.764
  • And i think it'd be a great thing
  • 00:15:04.764 --> 00:15:06.532
  • For us to discuss how these people
  • 00:15:06.532 --> 00:15:09.002
  • That want to abolish ice undermine, law enforcement,
  • 00:15:09.002 --> 00:15:12.972
  • To to have more criminal, illegal
  • 00:15:12.972 --> 00:15:14.707
  • Immigrants freely operating on our streets
  • 00:15:14.707 --> 00:15:16.776
  • While they defund the police, while they try to, you know,
  • 00:15:16.776 --> 00:15:19.879
  • Undermine and disarm legal, law abiding citizens.
  • 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:23.082
  • This is about, you know, undermine law and order.
  • 00:15:23.082 --> 00:15:25.485
  • This is about creating anarchy and this is about
  • 00:15:25.485 --> 00:15:28.287
  • I see the real threat to our representative democracy
  • 00:15:28.287 --> 00:15:31.224
  • Is allowing illegal immigrants here
  • 00:15:31.224 --> 00:15:33.760
  • That could, register to vote
  • 00:15:33.760 --> 00:15:36.129
  • That they're counting
  • 00:15:36.129 --> 00:15:37.063
  • In the census and things of this nature.
  • 00:15:37.063 --> 00:15:38.865
  • So this has to be a permanent issue
  • 00:15:38.865 --> 00:15:40.800
  • Because the left, for whatever reason, they want this new,
  • 00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:44.904
  • Voting bloc, they don't want to see law and order.
  • 00:15:44.904 --> 00:15:47.540
  • They don't want to see the constitution followed.
  • 00:15:47.540 --> 00:15:49.742
  • You know, the recent events in ireland
  • 00:15:50.576 --> 00:15:52.812
  • With the immigrant violence and then the following,
  • 00:15:52.812 --> 00:15:56.082
  • Riots might suggest there's some immigration fatigue
  • 00:15:56.082 --> 00:15:59.652
  • That's beginning to emerge, not just in the united states.
  • 00:15:59.652 --> 00:16:03.022
  • Yeah, you're absolutely right.
  • 00:16:03.623 --> 00:16:04.991
  • I mean, i was recently over in france,
  • 00:16:04.991 --> 00:16:07.760
  • For the 82nd anniversary of d-day.
  • 00:16:07.760 --> 00:16:09.829
  • And they have the issue in paris.
  • 00:16:09.829 --> 00:16:11.564
  • They have the issue in the united kingdom.
  • 00:16:11.564 --> 00:16:13.199
  • And, of course,
  • 00:16:13.199 --> 00:16:14.067
  • We saw that horrific video where the,
  • 00:16:14.067 --> 00:16:16.169
  • Gentleman there in belfast was stabbed and,
  • 00:16:16.169 --> 00:16:18.838
  • The immigrant,
  • 00:16:18.838 --> 00:16:19.806
  • Attempted to behead him, decapitate him
  • 00:16:19.806 --> 00:16:21.908
  • Right there on the streets.
  • 00:16:21.908 --> 00:16:23.709
  • And we know that, a young british soldier was,
  • 00:16:23.709 --> 00:16:26.913
  • Hacked to death a few years ago right in front of everyone
  • 00:16:26.913 --> 00:16:29.882
  • By one of these, islamic extremists.
  • 00:16:29.882 --> 00:16:32.285
  • So, i think you could push people just so far
  • 00:16:32.285 --> 00:16:35.555
  • With all of this
  • 00:16:35.555 --> 00:16:36.689
  • Multiculturalism and inclusion and all of these things,
  • 00:16:36.689 --> 00:16:39.625
  • To the point where they start to say,
  • 00:16:39.625 --> 00:16:41.227
  • You know, we need to be who we are.
  • 00:16:41.227 --> 00:16:43.196
  • People need to respect our laws.
  • 00:16:43.196 --> 00:16:45.131
  • People need to respect, our safety and security.
  • 00:16:45.131 --> 00:16:48.167
  • And when they don't see that happening,
  • 00:16:48.167 --> 00:16:49.702
  • You're going to see
  • 00:16:49.702 --> 00:16:50.870
  • More uprisings in the street like you just recently saw
  • 00:16:50.870 --> 00:16:53.372
  • In northern ireland.
  • 00:16:53.372 --> 00:16:54.907
  • There was a disturbing ruling
  • 00:16:55.541 --> 00:16:56.976
  • Recently by the us court of appeals for the dc circuit.
  • 00:16:56.976 --> 00:17:00.113
  • They found that the trump administration's
  • 00:17:00.113 --> 00:17:01.781
  • Ban on transgender individuals had been driven
  • 00:17:01.781 --> 00:17:04.217
  • By personal animus by secretary hegseth, claiming
  • 00:17:04.217 --> 00:17:08.154
  • That it violated
  • 00:17:08.154 --> 00:17:09.188
  • The constitution's guarantee of equal protection.
  • 00:17:09.188 --> 00:17:12.358
  • You have fought a great deal for constitutional rights.
  • 00:17:12.358 --> 00:17:15.428
  • What are your thoughts on their ruling?
  • 00:17:15.428 --> 00:17:17.497
  • Well, those two judges got it absolutely wrong.
  • 00:17:17.497 --> 00:17:19.966
  • Look, the united states military is one of the most
  • 00:17:19.966 --> 00:17:22.401
  • Discriminatory organizations we have in this country.
  • 00:17:22.401 --> 00:17:25.404
  • We will put you out.
  • 00:17:25.404 --> 00:17:26.372
  • If you were to, obese,
  • 00:17:26.372 --> 00:17:27.907
  • We will put you out if you can't run fast enough.
  • 00:17:27.907 --> 00:17:30.109
  • And so when you have people,
  • 00:17:30.109 --> 00:17:31.611
  • We don't accept people that have schizophrenia.
  • 00:17:31.611 --> 00:17:33.779
  • We don't accept people that are bipolar.
  • 00:17:33.779 --> 00:17:35.781
  • So gender dysphoria is a mental condition.
  • 00:17:35.781 --> 00:17:38.317
  • It's a mental illness.
  • 00:17:38.317 --> 00:17:39.285
  • That's the american psychiatric association
  • 00:17:39.285 --> 00:17:41.187
  • Saying that, not colonel allen west.
  • 00:17:41.187 --> 00:17:43.122
  • So why should we, be forced to accept people
  • 00:17:43.122 --> 00:17:45.691
  • With a mental illness and condition?
  • 00:17:45.691 --> 00:17:47.426
  • Who? oh, by the way, pastor jackson,
  • 00:17:47.426 --> 00:17:49.262
  • They are not deployable
  • 00:17:49.262 --> 00:17:50.730
  • Because of all of the hormonal
  • 00:17:50.730 --> 00:17:52.498
  • Treatments and things of that nature.
  • 00:17:52.498 --> 00:17:53.933
  • So why should we have people
  • 00:17:53.933 --> 00:17:55.201
  • In the united states military that cannot deploy, which forces
  • 00:17:55.201 --> 00:17:58.404
  • Other people to have to deploy and pull up the slack for them?
  • 00:17:58.404 --> 00:18:01.407
  • So, this is not about a constitutional right.
  • 00:18:01.407 --> 00:18:04.443
  • It's a privilege to serve in our united states military.
  • 00:18:04.443 --> 00:18:07.280
  • And we have standards because our profit loss
  • 00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:09.982
  • Statement is in lives. it's not in dollars and cents.
  • 00:18:09.982 --> 00:18:13.319
  • Well, texas senate race
  • 00:18:13.819 --> 00:18:15.621
  • Has gained national attention with attorney generals
  • 00:18:15.621 --> 00:18:18.691
  • Ken paxton and state rep james talarico.
  • 00:18:18.691 --> 00:18:22.562
  • Lots of money flowing to texas from all over the country.
  • 00:18:22.562 --> 00:18:25.665
  • What are your thoughts on that contest?
  • 00:18:25.665 --> 00:18:28.000
  • Well, i think that, representative
  • 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.936
  • Talarico, without a doubt, he'll be very successful
  • 00:18:29.936 --> 00:18:32.405
  • In the major urban
  • 00:18:32.405 --> 00:18:33.506
  • Population centers here where i am in dallas county,
  • 00:18:33.506 --> 00:18:36.242
  • Houston, harris county.
  • 00:18:36.242 --> 00:18:37.743
  • Travis county, which is austin, san antonio, bexar county.
  • 00:18:37.743 --> 00:18:41.013
  • But when you get out the east texas, north texas,
  • 00:18:41.013 --> 00:18:44.684
  • West texas and even down to south texas,
  • 00:18:44.684 --> 00:18:46.752
  • Donald trump flipped 13 of 15 border counties in 2024.
  • 00:18:46.752 --> 00:18:51.023
  • He's not going to be successful there.
  • 00:18:51.023 --> 00:18:52.425
  • And i think also,
  • 00:18:52.425 --> 00:18:53.793
  • You know, texas is kind of the
  • 00:18:53.793 --> 00:18:54.927
  • Buckle of the bible belt and some of his, thoughts and,
  • 00:18:54.927 --> 00:18:58.731
  • And, philosophies
  • 00:18:58.731 --> 00:19:00.166
  • When it comes to our judeo christian faith heritage.
  • 00:19:00.166 --> 00:19:03.202
  • I don't think it's going to fly very well.
  • 00:19:03.202 --> 00:19:04.904
  • And i'm sure you know exactly what i'm talking about.
  • 00:19:04.904 --> 00:19:07.773
  • I've got one last quick question.
  • 00:19:07.773 --> 00:19:09.175
  • I understand you recently took 25 student
  • 00:19:09.175 --> 00:19:11.277
  • Leaders to normandy for a d-day celebration.
  • 00:19:11.277 --> 00:19:15.114
  • Tell us a little bit about that experience
  • 00:19:15.114 --> 00:19:16.382
  • And why you think that's so worthwhile
  • 00:19:16.382 --> 00:19:18.484
  • Is so important, because those who fail
  • 00:19:18.484 --> 00:19:20.686
  • To learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
  • 00:19:20.686 --> 00:19:22.455
  • And i will tell you that there was one
  • 00:19:22.455 --> 00:19:23.789
  • Young man on that trip, and i do it every summer
  • 00:19:23.789 --> 00:19:26.392
  • Through the young america's foundation.
  • 00:19:26.392 --> 00:19:28.027
  • Yeah, dawg.
  • 00:19:28.027 --> 00:19:29.662
  • These are 25,
  • 00:19:29.662 --> 00:19:31.097
  • Conservative student leaders that are selected, and,
  • 00:19:31.097 --> 00:19:34.300
  • I take them to all of the beach landings, all of the,
  • 00:19:34.300 --> 00:19:37.003
  • The drop zone sites, and give them an understanding
  • 00:19:37.003 --> 00:19:40.339
  • Of what young men did,
  • 00:19:40.339 --> 00:19:41.841
  • Young men who were younger than some of them
  • 00:19:41.841 --> 00:19:43.976
  • To make sure that they stood up against,
  • 00:19:43.976 --> 00:19:46.312
  • You know, for freedom and liberty and against evil.
  • 00:19:46.312 --> 00:19:48.781
  • So it's really important that we connect
  • 00:19:48.781 --> 00:19:50.483
  • Our young people, because it really hurts me
  • 00:19:50.483 --> 00:19:52.585
  • When i hear young people, you know,
  • 00:19:52.585 --> 00:19:54.487
  • Talking about socialism, marxism,
  • 00:19:54.487 --> 00:19:56.989
  • And calling other people nazis just because they don't,
  • 00:19:56.989 --> 00:19:59.925
  • Politically agree with them.
  • 00:19:59.925 --> 00:20:01.727
  • When you go to normandy
  • 00:20:01.727 --> 00:20:03.429
  • And you talk to some of the descendants of people
  • 00:20:03.429 --> 00:20:05.765
  • Who were there under occupied nazi germany,
  • 00:20:05.765 --> 00:20:10.169
  • They can tell you what a real nazi is about.
  • 00:20:10.169 --> 00:20:12.271
  • Well, colonel west, you and i both have tennessee roots.
  • 00:20:13.339 --> 00:20:15.641
  • But with your jacket in mind today.
  • 00:20:15.641 --> 00:20:17.176
  • We look like we're representing florida.
  • 00:20:17.176 --> 00:20:19.178
  • Hope our tennessee friends will forgive.
  • 00:20:19.178 --> 00:20:20.513
  • You gotta change that. that blue.
  • 00:20:20.513 --> 00:20:24.083
  • Thank you for your time today.
  • 00:20:24.083 --> 00:20:25.584
  • You have a white jacket, orange and white.
  • 00:20:25.584 --> 00:20:27.286
  • Alright. appreciate your insight.
  • 00:20:27.286 --> 00:20:30.756
  • Thank you. god bless you, pastor.
  • 00:20:30.756 --> 00:20:32.825
  • In a moment, we'll be back with your emails.
  • 00:20:32.825 --> 00:20:41.005
  • In a moment, we'll be back with your emails.
  • 00:20:41.005 --> 00:20:46.006
  • Thank you for taking the time
  • 00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:47.908
  • To share your thoughts and opinions.
  • 00:20:47.908 --> 00:20:49.710
  • Your emails are always a highlight.
  • 00:20:49.710 --> 00:20:52.145
  • The youtube viewer commented on the episode with eric eggers.
  • 00:20:52.145 --> 00:20:55.649
  • Are they still counting?
  • 00:20:56.183 --> 00:20:57.684
  • You betcha.
  • 00:20:57.684 --> 00:20:58.785
  • They promised they'll get the final count in july,
  • 00:20:58.785 --> 00:21:01.154
  • So just wait.
  • 00:21:01.154 --> 00:21:02.422
  • Nothing to see here. just wait.
  • 00:21:02.422 --> 00:21:04.691
  • They'll find ballots from people six feet under.
  • 00:21:04.691 --> 00:21:06.793
  • People who never lived in california.
  • 00:21:06.793 --> 00:21:08.862
  • People who were never born.
  • 00:21:08.862 --> 00:21:09.863
  • Yet everything but legitimate voters.
  • 00:21:09.863 --> 00:21:12.432
  • The moment they find enough votes, they'll stop the count.
  • 00:21:12.432 --> 00:21:14.835
  • Not one nanosecond before, not one picosecond after.
  • 00:21:14.835 --> 00:21:19.373
  • When we californians voted to recall gavin newsom,
  • 00:21:19.373 --> 00:21:21.842
  • They counted just 60% of all votes.
  • 00:21:21.842 --> 00:21:24.277
  • Once they get one vote for him over the votes against him,
  • 00:21:24.277 --> 00:21:26.713
  • They stopped the counting and declared him the winner.
  • 00:21:26.713 --> 00:21:29.015
  • No recall. bye bye. sayonara.
  • 00:21:29.015 --> 00:21:32.052
  • Well, maybe not the most optimistic
  • 00:21:32.853 --> 00:21:34.554
  • View of voter integrity and election integrity,
  • 00:21:34.554 --> 00:21:38.458
  • But tragically, i'm afraid there's a lot of truth in it.
  • 00:21:38.458 --> 00:21:40.994
  • We're going to have to demand better elected officials
  • 00:21:40.994 --> 00:21:43.864
  • That will do better and pay attention to the process.
  • 00:21:43.864 --> 00:21:47.467
  • We've got to watch,
  • 00:21:47.467 --> 00:21:48.568
  • Listen, think and act, and we'll have a better future.
