Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: March 18, 2025 | Allen Jackson Now | March 18, 2025
- Well.
- 00:00:03.261 --> 00:00:03.695
- Good evening.
- 00:00:03.695 --> 00:00:04.729
- I'm alan jackson, and welcome back to nashville.
- 00:00:04.729 --> 00:00:07.032
- We have good news to report tonight.
- 00:00:07.032 --> 00:00:09.401
- America has a border again.
- 00:00:09.401 --> 00:00:12.070
- No country in the world can survive without one.
- 00:00:12.070 --> 00:00:14.272
- And for the past several years,
- 00:00:14.272 --> 00:00:16.041
- The only thing we had that resembled
- 00:00:16.041 --> 00:00:17.476
- A border was a few lines on the map.
- 00:00:17.476 --> 00:00:20.479
- Well, after less than two months,
- 00:00:20.479 --> 00:00:22.247
- Some of the very worst criminals
- 00:00:22.247 --> 00:00:23.715
- And violent gangs in the country
- 00:00:23.715 --> 00:00:25.717
- Have been pulled out of hiding, arrested and sent to jail
- 00:00:25.717 --> 00:00:28.987
- To get ball or back to where they came from.
- 00:00:28.987 --> 00:00:32.057
- In addition, the steady stream of newcomers
- 00:00:32.057 --> 00:00:34.059
- Has turned back around and headed home.
- 00:00:34.059 --> 00:00:37.095
- Mind you, it's taken everything president trump
- 00:00:37.095 --> 00:00:39.564
- Could put together in short order.
- 00:00:39.564 --> 00:00:41.833
- Borders are tom homan, working 24 seven.
- 00:00:41.833 --> 00:00:44.836
- Secretary kristi noem traveling the country
- 00:00:44.836 --> 00:00:47.339
- To show her support for the immigration authorities
- 00:00:47.339 --> 00:00:50.008
- And our local police,
- 00:00:50.008 --> 00:00:51.877
- And the secretary of defense, pete hegseth,
- 00:00:51.877 --> 00:00:54.146
- Sending troops to help out in
- 00:00:54.146 --> 00:00:55.647
- Some of the toughest places to guard.
- 00:00:55.647 --> 00:00:57.983
- But it's working, though it's going to take years
- 00:00:57.983 --> 00:01:00.685
- To get things back to where they were
- 00:01:00.685 --> 00:01:02.254
- Before the last administration let the world come in nonstop.
- 00:01:02.254 --> 00:01:07.125
- Well, few people in the country have had to deal with this
- 00:01:07.125 --> 00:01:09.861
- Enormous and dangerous mess, more
- 00:01:09.861 --> 00:01:12.464
- So than the lieutenant governor of texas, dan patrick,
- 00:01:12.464 --> 00:01:15.634
- Is joining us tonight.
- 00:01:16.101 --> 00:01:17.769
- Welcome back, sir.
- 00:01:17.769 --> 00:01:19.804
- Good to see you.
- 00:01:20.205 --> 00:01:20.939
- Good to be with you.
- 00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:22.240
- Let's begin by getting your inside
- 00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:24.075
- View of how things have changed
- 00:01:24.075 --> 00:01:25.610
- Since the new team has taken over.
- 00:01:25.610 --> 00:01:28.880
- So, alan, let's think back.
- 00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:30.949
- Last fall when the president was asked,
- 00:01:30.949 --> 00:01:34.452
- As he was leaving the white house on the helicopter
- 00:01:34.452 --> 00:01:37.656
- About the border, he said, oh, i need more money.
- 00:01:37.656 --> 00:01:39.824
- I need congress, i need this, i need that.
- 00:01:39.824 --> 00:01:43.128
- He didn't need anything.
- 00:01:43.128 --> 00:01:44.796
- It was just all a big lie.
- 00:01:44.796 --> 00:01:46.498
- The border could have been secured
- 00:01:46.498 --> 00:01:47.599
- Any time they wanted it to secure it.
- 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.367
- They did not want to secure it.
- 00:01:49.367 --> 00:01:51.069
- And that's why a minimum of 12 million
- 00:01:51.069 --> 00:01:54.072
- People came into this country during his time.
- 00:01:54.072 --> 00:01:56.274
- The reason i say a minimum, alan, is
- 00:01:56.274 --> 00:01:58.243
- You used to hear those numbers, apprehensions.
- 00:01:58.243 --> 00:02:01.279
- And that's exactly what they were,
- 00:02:01.279 --> 00:02:02.547
- The number of people each day
- 00:02:02.547 --> 00:02:04.082
- That were apprehended
- 00:02:04.082 --> 00:02:05.617
- On the bridges
- 00:02:05.617 --> 00:02:06.518
- And some in between the bridges, bridges
- 00:02:06.518 --> 00:02:08.253
- Where they could come over and ask for asylum.
- 00:02:08.253 --> 00:02:11.623
- So if they caught 12 million, i can assure you were
- 00:02:11.623 --> 00:02:14.492
- Not caught.
- 00:02:14.492 --> 00:02:15.560
- They apprehended. let them come into the country.
- 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:16.795
- Under biden,
- 00:02:16.795 --> 00:02:17.862
- That meant millions more were coming at the border
- 00:02:17.862 --> 00:02:19.965
- Between mexico and texas.
- 00:02:19.965 --> 00:02:21.433
- The perspective is 1234 miles.
- 00:02:21.433 --> 00:02:24.536
- That's longer than the distance
- 00:02:24.536 --> 00:02:26.271
- From atlanta, georgia, to portland, maine.
- 00:02:26.271 --> 00:02:29.074
- Now, ours is kind of zigzagging.
- 00:02:29.074 --> 00:02:30.609
- That's how much territory we had to cover. and so,
- 00:02:30.609 --> 00:02:33.812
- Probably 15 to 18
- 00:02:34.246 --> 00:02:35.747
- Million actually came in under biden would be a good guess.
- 00:02:35.747 --> 00:02:38.883
- So now instead of eight or 9 or 10,000 a day, it's
- 00:02:38.883 --> 00:02:42.654
- 3 or 400 a day.
- 00:02:43.021 --> 00:02:44.489
- And all that happen,
- 00:02:44.489 --> 00:02:46.057
- All that happened
- 00:02:46.057 --> 00:02:47.259
- Is we said, you can't come in
- 00:02:47.259 --> 00:02:48.860
- And we're shutting down
- 00:02:48.860 --> 00:02:49.694
- The border and you're not coming in.
- 00:02:49.694 --> 00:02:51.129
- And it came from on high.
- 00:02:51.129 --> 00:02:53.765
- Not from god, but it came from
- 00:02:53.765 --> 00:02:55.667
- On high in america, from the white house.
- 00:02:55.667 --> 00:02:57.702
- And then texas backed it
- 00:02:57.702 --> 00:02:58.903
- Up, as we've been doing this whole time, alan.
- 00:02:58.903 --> 00:03:00.739
- So people in south america, central america and mexico
- 00:03:00.739 --> 00:03:04.342
- Who are walking miles and miles
- 00:03:04.342 --> 00:03:06.011
- And months of two months to get here, they said, hey,
- 00:03:06.011 --> 00:03:08.847
- I'm not walking to texas because that they just said,
- 00:03:08.847 --> 00:03:12.117
- We can't come in.
- 00:03:12.117 --> 00:03:13.685
- And from around the world because we had people
- 00:03:13.685 --> 00:03:15.387
- Coming in here from all over the world
- 00:03:15.387 --> 00:03:17.322
- And they said, i'm not.
- 00:03:17.322 --> 00:03:18.823
- I'm not giving everything
- 00:03:18.823 --> 00:03:20.625
- What everything i can scramble together
- 00:03:20.625 --> 00:03:22.427
- And give to somebody to fly me
- 00:03:22.427 --> 00:03:23.561
- To, to mexico, or they give it to a cartel agent
- 00:03:23.561 --> 00:03:27.799
- And i get there and say, i can't come in.
- 00:03:27.799 --> 00:03:29.467
- All biden had to do was say, the border closed.
- 00:03:29.467 --> 00:03:32.137
- You're not welcome.
- 00:03:32.137 --> 00:03:33.238
- Instead, he said, the borders open in your world.
- 00:03:33.238 --> 00:03:35.307
- So literally, literally, we were seeing hundreds a day
- 00:03:35.307 --> 00:03:39.144
- Crossing the border, lowest ever, where we saw thousands.
- 00:03:39.144 --> 00:03:42.380
- I was asked.
- 00:03:42.380 --> 00:03:44.049
- Is it an overstatement
- 00:03:44.049 --> 00:03:45.617
- To say that the behavior of the previous administration
- 00:03:45.617 --> 00:03:48.053
- And their attitude was treasonous?
- 00:03:48.053 --> 00:03:50.522
- You know, i wouldn't use the word treason.
- 00:03:51.389 --> 00:03:53.825
- And the reason i wouldn't use it, because i looked it up.
- 00:03:53.825 --> 00:03:55.860
- I wanted to see it once.
- 00:03:55.860 --> 00:03:57.796
- I wanted to be sure.
- 00:03:57.796 --> 00:03:59.397
- I would say they sold out the country.
- 00:03:59.397 --> 00:04:01.800
- I would say that they did everything alan
- 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.235
- They could do
- 00:04:04.235 --> 00:04:05.503
- To give the cartels, the keys to the back door of the country
- 00:04:05.503 --> 00:04:08.973
- Coming in through the back door.
- 00:04:08.973 --> 00:04:11.242
- They get
- 00:04:11.242 --> 00:04:12.410
- They did everything they could to get the keys to canada,
- 00:04:12.410 --> 00:04:14.512
- To let them come in from the north
- 00:04:14.512 --> 00:04:15.980
- And give the keys to china
- 00:04:15.980 --> 00:04:17.549
- To really kind of undermine our country.
- 00:04:17.549 --> 00:04:19.351
- Look, have to understand, alan, this country is now.
- 00:04:19.351 --> 00:04:22.454
- I mean, you have to understand
- 00:04:22.454 --> 00:04:23.588
- I want the public to really get their arms around this,
- 00:04:23.588 --> 00:04:26.057
- Because i know, you know, we're in a battle here.
- 00:04:26.057 --> 00:04:29.294
- It's darkness and light.
- 00:04:29.294 --> 00:04:30.862
- It's not that democrats are republicans anymore.
- 00:04:30.862 --> 00:04:33.531
- It's about, i would say half the country believes in god.
- 00:04:33.531 --> 00:04:36.801
- Our country that doesn't.
- 00:04:36.801 --> 00:04:38.203
- And those who don't believe in god,
- 00:04:38.203 --> 00:04:40.305
- They don't believe in america.
- 00:04:40.305 --> 00:04:41.806
- So they want to want to undermine the country.
- 00:04:41.806 --> 00:04:44.109
- And that's what the left is socialist.
- 00:04:44.109 --> 00:04:46.010
- No exaggeration.
- 00:04:46.010 --> 00:04:46.945
- Here in the biden administration, we're
- 00:04:46.945 --> 00:04:48.713
- Going behind the scenes because we all now know what we all do.
- 00:04:48.713 --> 00:04:52.751
- But no one would admit it.
- 00:04:52.751 --> 00:04:53.918
- Before, it wasn't running the country.
- 00:04:53.918 --> 00:04:56.020
- It was a pivot for the obama campaign.
- 00:04:56.020 --> 00:04:59.057
- Many others.
- 00:04:59.057 --> 00:04:59.724
- But the most far left socialist,
- 00:04:59.724 --> 00:05:02.827
- So-called democrats
- 00:05:03.294 --> 00:05:04.896
- Were running this country, and they hate this country,
- 00:05:04.896 --> 00:05:07.499
- And they were doing everything they could to bring us down.
- 00:05:07.499 --> 00:05:10.301
- And an open border was one of those things.
- 00:05:10.301 --> 00:05:13.238
- Well, unlike the previous administration,
- 00:05:13.238 --> 00:05:15.039
- The new vice president, he made a trip to the border
- 00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:17.175
- Soon after taking office.
- 00:05:17.175 --> 00:05:18.743
- Listen to what he noticed.
- 00:05:18.743 --> 00:05:20.779
- I will say that the most heartening message
- 00:05:20.779 --> 00:05:23.114
- That i take away from my visit here at the at the texas border,
- 00:05:23.114 --> 00:05:26.951
- Is the number of border
- 00:05:26.951 --> 00:05:28.486
- Patrol agents who have come up to me and said
- 00:05:28.486 --> 00:05:30.488
- Thank you, or said, because of this,
- 00:05:30.488 --> 00:05:32.824
- We've cut the number of border crossings from 1500 a day
- 00:05:32.824 --> 00:05:36.361
- To 30 a day.
- 00:05:36.361 --> 00:05:37.595
- Or the people
- 00:05:37.595 --> 00:05:38.797
- Who have come up and said, we've seen a reduction in 85%
- 00:05:38.797 --> 00:05:42.700
- Of the number of people who are dying
- 00:05:42.700 --> 00:05:44.702
- At the american southern border.
- 00:05:44.702 --> 00:05:47.238
- You know, i realize it's
- 00:05:47.772 --> 00:05:48.740
- Going to take a while to turn things around,
- 00:05:48.740 --> 00:05:51.276
- But how are the families and businesses in texas doing
- 00:05:51.276 --> 00:05:55.213
- Well? we're doing well.
- 00:05:55.713 --> 00:05:56.981
- We always do well, despite whatever challenges we have.
- 00:05:56.981 --> 00:06:00.718
- Texas is strong, you know, eighth largest
- 00:06:00.718 --> 00:06:02.520
- Economy in the world.
- 00:06:02.520 --> 00:06:03.855
- You know, our our our our budget this year
- 00:06:03.855 --> 00:06:06.724
- Is, about $332 billion.
- 00:06:06.724 --> 00:06:10.028
- That's a two year budget
- 00:06:10.028 --> 00:06:10.962
- Because we passed two year budgets here.
- 00:06:10.962 --> 00:06:13.531
- 1000 people a day are still moving here.
- 00:06:13.531 --> 00:06:15.633
- We're we are.
- 00:06:15.633 --> 00:06:16.968
- We are the greatest place to be.
- 00:06:16.968 --> 00:06:18.703
- And there are many great places in america to live.
- 00:06:18.703 --> 00:06:21.372
- So we're the greatest place to be if you're an entrepreneur,
- 00:06:21.372 --> 00:06:23.942
- If you want to dream. but if you want me to work hard.
- 00:06:23.942 --> 00:06:26.444
- So it didn't slow us down.
- 00:06:26.444 --> 00:06:27.712
- But obviously you overcrowded
- 00:06:27.712 --> 00:06:29.214
- Our emergency rooms for health care.
- 00:06:29.214 --> 00:06:31.349
- It overcrowded our schools with students.
- 00:06:31.349 --> 00:06:34.118
- Who were.
- 00:06:34.118 --> 00:06:34.786
- You got to remember this.
- 00:06:34.786 --> 00:06:35.753
- If you come from some of these countries,
- 00:06:35.753 --> 00:06:37.088
- It might be 3 or 4 grade levels behind.
- 00:06:37.088 --> 00:06:39.491
- So you can't put a 15 year old in the sixth grade.
- 00:06:39.491 --> 00:06:42.727
- And so very often what would happen?
- 00:06:42.727 --> 00:06:44.362
- These kids would come in to an age appropriate grade.
- 00:06:44.362 --> 00:06:46.931
- They were so far behind
- 00:06:46.931 --> 00:06:47.866
- And drop out and that what did they do?
- 00:06:47.866 --> 00:06:50.201
- They might go on to a life of crime or just beyond,
- 00:06:50.201 --> 00:06:53.404
- On the government's, dollar to support them.
- 00:06:53.404 --> 00:06:56.641
- So that's been a real issue for us.
- 00:06:56.641 --> 00:06:59.344
- And crime is up everywhere.
- 00:06:59.344 --> 00:07:01.813
- The cartels, vicious, dangerous gangs over here.
- 00:07:01.813 --> 00:07:06.117
- And president trump is he's cleaning it out.
- 00:07:06.117 --> 00:07:08.653
- It's going to take a while because a lot are here.
- 00:07:08.653 --> 00:07:11.356
- That that's i would say the
- 00:07:11.956 --> 00:07:13.391
- Biggest issue of all was criminals across the border.
- 00:07:13.391 --> 00:07:18.062
- The gang member was.
- 00:07:18.062 --> 00:07:19.631
- And the drugs? fentanyl coming and killing young americans.
- 00:07:19.631 --> 00:07:22.333
- Number one cause of death for young americans.
- 00:07:22.333 --> 00:07:24.836
- And i would say the, impact on healthcare.
- 00:07:24.836 --> 00:07:28.540
- Well, mr..
- 00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:29.374
- Lieutenant governor,
- 00:07:29.374 --> 00:07:30.308
- If you'll stay with us for another segment,
- 00:07:30.308 --> 00:07:31.576
- We're just going to take a short break
- 00:07:31.576 --> 00:07:33.344
- And encourage our viewers to send their thoughts
- 00:07:33.344 --> 00:07:35.346
- In now on the border or anything else
- 00:07:35.346 --> 00:07:37.615
- You can send them to comments at alan jackson now.com.
- 00:07:37.615 --> 00:07:40.718
- We'll be right back.
- 00:07:40.718 --> 00:07:48.001
- We'll be right back.
- 00:07:48.001 --> 00:07:51.197
- We're back
- 00:07:51.498 --> 00:07:52.632
- Now with the lieutenant governor of texas, dan patrick.
- 00:07:52.632 --> 00:07:55.869
- Can you tell us what you know about all the missing children?
- 00:07:55.869 --> 00:07:58.638
- You know,
- 00:07:58.638 --> 00:07:59.172
- There are all sorts
- 00:07:59.172 --> 00:08:00.273
- Of different numbers on how many were smuggled in,
- 00:08:00.273 --> 00:08:02.442
- Whether they were sold into the sex drive
- 00:08:02.442 --> 00:08:04.244
- Or cheap labor to countries of our corner.
- 00:08:04.244 --> 00:08:07.981
- Is there just much that can be done to identify
- 00:08:07.981 --> 00:08:10.116
- How many there are, how we find them, or how we help them?
- 00:08:10.116 --> 00:08:13.153
- Well, you never know what you don't know, alan,
- 00:08:14.087 --> 00:08:16.056
- In terms of the numbers, but no one was keeping track.
- 00:08:16.056 --> 00:08:19.326
- If you did a percentage of those millions that were apprehended
- 00:08:19.326 --> 00:08:23.930
- And remember these children, a lot of them
- 00:08:23.930 --> 00:08:25.732
- Came to the country that were smuggled because,
- 00:08:25.732 --> 00:08:27.634
- You know, we didn't see them.
- 00:08:27.634 --> 00:08:28.535
- We didn't know about them,
- 00:08:28.535 --> 00:08:29.603
- But many of them came in with adults
- 00:08:29.603 --> 00:08:31.871
- Who claimed they were related to them.
- 00:08:31.871 --> 00:08:34.074
- And when president trump was president before and now,
- 00:08:34.074 --> 00:08:38.612
- They really watched the they border patrol understood.
- 00:08:39.646 --> 00:08:43.817
- How is this young person, this adult, reacting?
- 00:08:43.817 --> 00:08:47.520
- You know, we don't have identification
- 00:08:48.355 --> 00:08:49.556
- On these people, so we don't know.
- 00:08:49.556 --> 00:08:51.057
- And we know that a lot of them were smugglers bringing children
- 00:08:51.057 --> 00:08:54.361
- In for sex trafficking and for a slave working market.
- 00:08:54.361 --> 00:08:59.866
- And, alan, i just the the numbers of those
- 00:08:59.866 --> 00:09:02.902
- Who cross, it would be in the hundreds of thousands.
- 00:09:02.902 --> 00:09:06.006
- You know,
- 00:09:06.006 --> 00:09:06.873
- I often said during the last session,
- 00:09:06.873 --> 00:09:08.575
- You know, you asked me about the word treason, which
- 00:09:08.575 --> 00:09:10.377
- I didn't go that far.
- 00:09:10.377 --> 00:09:12.178
- But i will tell you this,
- 00:09:12.746 --> 00:09:15.315
- There are young girls and boys being raped right there
- 00:09:15.315 --> 00:09:18.718
- As we're talking in america somewhere.
- 00:09:18.718 --> 00:09:21.688
- There are children that are in a sweatshop somewhere, enslaved.
- 00:09:21.688 --> 00:09:26.292
- And this this is on the hands of joe biden
- 00:09:26.292 --> 00:09:29.629
- And kamala harris and the democrats.
- 00:09:29.629 --> 00:09:31.631
- The idea that we now have a sex trade in america
- 00:09:31.631 --> 00:09:34.768
- Because they turned their back and allowed to happen.
- 00:09:34.768 --> 00:09:36.936
- Because they knew. they knew.
- 00:09:36.936 --> 00:09:39.873
- They knew what was happening.
- 00:09:39.873 --> 00:09:40.840
- There were patrol
- 00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:42.075
- Agents sent it up to command and commanded,
- 00:09:42.075 --> 00:09:43.677
- Tell them to man hit it to get it from them,
- 00:09:43.677 --> 00:09:46.279
- Because they didn't want to lose their job.
- 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.114
- They knew what was going on.
- 00:09:48.114 --> 00:09:49.149
- And the idea, you know, the bible talks about,
- 00:09:49.149 --> 00:09:52.285
- You know, you might as well have a millstone around your neck.
- 00:09:52.285 --> 00:09:55.121
- How you impact children.
- 00:09:55.121 --> 00:09:56.556
- Let me tell you what.
- 00:09:56.556 --> 00:09:58.158
- Joe biden
- 00:09:58.158 --> 00:09:58.725
- And kamala harris
- 00:09:58.725 --> 00:09:59.726
- And all those democrats who support this policy
- 00:09:59.726 --> 00:10:01.494
- And what's happening to these children.
- 00:10:01.494 --> 00:10:02.962
- They've got a lot of millstones around their neck and, and,
- 00:10:02.962 --> 00:10:06.633
- They're they're going to there'll be a reckoning for them
- 00:10:07.734 --> 00:10:09.636
- At some point because of that, to find them. yes.
- 00:10:09.636 --> 00:10:13.006
- A lot will be found.
- 00:10:13.006 --> 00:10:15.075
- It will take time.
- 00:10:15.075 --> 00:10:16.943
- But they won't be damaged for life.
- 00:10:16.943 --> 00:10:19.345
- Damaged for life.
- 00:10:19.345 --> 00:10:20.213
- So as we go about our life
- 00:10:20.213 --> 00:10:23.216
- In our in this wonderful country that we live in,
- 00:10:23.216 --> 00:10:26.453
- Every day, remember, there's a child somewhere.
- 00:10:26.453 --> 00:10:28.722
- It needs to be rescued.
- 00:10:28.722 --> 00:10:29.789
- So be on your alert.
- 00:10:29.789 --> 00:10:32.659
- Keep your head up, and,
- 00:10:32.659 --> 00:10:34.761
- And if you think,
- 00:10:34.761 --> 00:10:35.862
- Some child could be in danger or there's something
- 00:10:35.862 --> 00:10:37.597
- Suspicious going on, let law enforcement know.
- 00:10:37.597 --> 00:10:41.301
- You know, another component of the open border.
- 00:10:41.301 --> 00:10:43.503
- The new homeland
- 00:10:43.503 --> 00:10:44.804
- Security secretary is trying to go deeper
- 00:10:44.804 --> 00:10:46.573
- Into stopping the drug trade
- 00:10:46.573 --> 00:10:48.541
- By partnership with the mexican government
- 00:10:48.541 --> 00:10:51.277
- On the criminals, but not just in the us, but in mexico, too.
- 00:10:51.277 --> 00:10:54.714
- Listen to her, our guests.
- 00:10:54.714 --> 00:10:56.516
- And i think that
- 00:10:56.916 --> 00:10:57.917
- Progress can be built on these partnerships
- 00:10:57.917 --> 00:11:00.787
- That we have in going after traffickers, cartels,
- 00:11:00.787 --> 00:11:04.457
- The drug, trade and also human trafficking,
- 00:11:04.457 --> 00:11:08.228
- Can be even stronger and built on in the future.
- 00:11:08.228 --> 00:11:10.263
- That's one of the things we've been asking for
- 00:11:10.263 --> 00:11:12.265
- In specific to the mexican government is
- 00:11:12.265 --> 00:11:14.934
- How can we work
- 00:11:14.934 --> 00:11:15.935
- Better together to make sure we not only have
- 00:11:15.935 --> 00:11:17.537
- The enforcement mission at the border,
- 00:11:17.537 --> 00:11:19.606
- But south of the border,
- 00:11:19.606 --> 00:11:20.907
- And make sure we're going after these cartels?
- 00:11:20.907 --> 00:11:24.244
- Yeah, it makes sense.
- 00:11:24.244 --> 00:11:25.645
- Do you think the mexican government will work with her?
- 00:11:25.645 --> 00:11:29.349
- You know, one,
- 00:11:29.682 --> 00:11:31.518
- I know the first term, when the president said,
- 00:11:31.518 --> 00:11:34.754
- I'm going to put huge tariffs on your country on everything
- 00:11:34.754 --> 00:11:37.357
- Unless you put 10,000 troops
- 00:11:37.357 --> 00:11:39.225
- On the border, mexican troops to stop people from coming.
- 00:11:39.225 --> 00:11:42.462
- We've had a huge impact.
- 00:11:42.462 --> 00:11:44.164
- And that's happening again
- 00:11:44.164 --> 00:11:45.365
- Because they're working on the other side.
- 00:11:45.365 --> 00:11:47.233
- But this is like,
- 00:11:47.233 --> 00:11:48.134
- This is a forever problem with mexico,
- 00:11:48.134 --> 00:11:49.903
- And it's a narco state in many parts of the country.
- 00:11:49.903 --> 00:11:52.539
- You know,
- 00:11:52.539 --> 00:11:53.006
- The general,
- 00:11:53.006 --> 00:11:53.773
- The general population of mexico,
- 00:11:53.773 --> 00:11:55.575
- There's wonderful, wonderful people.
- 00:11:55.575 --> 00:11:57.944
- But the criminals are in charge.
- 00:11:57.944 --> 00:11:59.512
- Much of the country and much of the politics.
- 00:11:59.512 --> 00:12:01.915
- You know, they could have mexico.
- 00:12:02.649 --> 00:12:04.317
- Mexico could have just closed their southern
- 00:12:04.317 --> 00:12:06.753
- Their southern border, which is very small, make it a seal.
- 00:12:06.753 --> 00:12:09.522
- That so no one could have come through.
- 00:12:09.522 --> 00:12:11.124
- So there was a lot of money trading hands.
- 00:12:11.124 --> 00:12:13.359
- There's, you know, the
- 00:12:13.359 --> 00:12:14.727
- The drug cartels became the people cartels.
- 00:12:14.727 --> 00:12:17.764
- They often made more money smuggling
- 00:12:17.764 --> 00:12:19.199
- People, than they did drugs or any other contraband.
- 00:12:19.199 --> 00:12:23.169
- And remember this.
- 00:12:23.169 --> 00:12:24.337
- They might say to a family, you know, you need $5,000,
- 00:12:24.337 --> 00:12:27.307
- 40,030 thousand across the border.
- 00:12:27.307 --> 00:12:30.143
- And then when they got here, they would say, oh, by the way,
- 00:12:30.143 --> 00:12:33.246
- If you don't send us 20% of your paycheck every week,
- 00:12:33.246 --> 00:12:36.182
- We will kill your family back home.
- 00:12:36.182 --> 00:12:38.084
- So, the biden administration,
- 00:12:38.084 --> 00:12:41.221
- Basically, we have a slave class america now,
- 00:12:41.221 --> 00:12:44.624
- Of new slates,
- 00:12:44.958 --> 00:12:46.092
- And they're
- 00:12:46.092 --> 00:12:47.060
- Actually working in america for the cartels
- 00:12:47.060 --> 00:12:48.761
- Because so part of their money is going back.
- 00:12:48.761 --> 00:12:50.730
- We need to do a really thorough job of stopping any money,
- 00:12:50.730 --> 00:12:53.733
- Wire transfers to banks and other places.
- 00:12:53.733 --> 00:12:55.969
- And it's hard because some people in europe,
- 00:12:55.969 --> 00:12:58.404
- You know, who came, are actually working
- 00:12:58.404 --> 00:13:00.039
- And trying to do the right thing and send the money back.
- 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:02.308
- So it's a little difficult, but we have enough systems,
- 00:13:02.308 --> 00:13:06.412
- So we should be able to start spot spotting money.
- 00:13:06.412 --> 00:13:09.015
- That's going to start most off the spot.
- 00:13:09.015 --> 00:13:10.717
- Just certain people.
- 00:13:10.717 --> 00:13:12.018
- But what they
- 00:13:12.018 --> 00:13:13.987
- What the biden administration did not only to america,
- 00:13:13.987 --> 00:13:17.590
- But to people from around the world
- 00:13:17.590 --> 00:13:19.192
- Who wanted to come america, become america.
- 00:13:19.192 --> 00:13:22.562
- It's just disgraceful.
- 00:13:22.562 --> 00:13:23.630
- You know, there were so many women who was part of,
- 00:13:23.630 --> 00:13:26.699
- You know, i've been lieutenant governor
- 00:13:26.699 --> 00:13:28.234
- Now for ten years and senator for seven years
- 00:13:28.234 --> 00:13:29.969
- Before that, up and down on the border many times.
- 00:13:29.969 --> 00:13:32.205
- You know, i know a lot about it.
- 00:13:32.839 --> 00:13:34.307
- And and part of passage for women was very often.
- 00:13:34.307 --> 00:13:37.043
- Right.
- 00:13:37.043 --> 00:13:37.911
- Doesn't matter if they were 12 or 72.
- 00:13:37.911 --> 00:13:41.080
- And, and the biden administration just,
- 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:43.950
- You know, smiled about it, laughed about it.
- 00:13:43.950 --> 00:13:45.685
- Mayorkas saw the,
- 00:13:45.685 --> 00:13:47.921
- It was just evil, what they were doing, quite frankly, evil,
- 00:13:47.921 --> 00:13:50.990
- What they allowed to happen.
- 00:13:50.990 --> 00:13:52.558
- And when you're a part of it and you're allowing it to happen
- 00:13:52.558 --> 00:13:55.495
- And you're you're guilty, which i.
- 00:13:55.495 --> 00:13:58.631
- Well, i've got one last question.
- 00:13:58.631 --> 00:13:59.966
- And this was not related to the border.
- 00:13:59.966 --> 00:14:02.335
- I saw that you've got an idea about how to help
- 00:14:02.335 --> 00:14:04.370
- Your state's cattlemen.
- 00:14:04.370 --> 00:14:06.472
- There's something that's already known as a new york strip,
- 00:14:06.472 --> 00:14:09.175
- And there's a kansas city strip.
- 00:14:09.175 --> 00:14:11.277
- So why not a texas strip steak?
- 00:14:11.277 --> 00:14:14.280
- I'm getting hungry thinking about it.
- 00:14:14.280 --> 00:14:15.848
- Tell us how you came up with the idea.
- 00:14:15.848 --> 00:14:18.418
- Well, i was meeting with the cattle feeders
- 00:14:18.418 --> 00:14:20.486
- And the cattle
- 00:14:20.486 --> 00:14:21.621
- Raisers a few weeks ago, and i went around the table.
- 00:14:21.621 --> 00:14:24.390
- By the way, what's your favorite cut of beef?
- 00:14:24.390 --> 00:14:26.359
- You know, and a few others said, new york strip.
- 00:14:26.359 --> 00:14:28.861
- I said, why are you calling it new york strip?
- 00:14:28.861 --> 00:14:30.763
- It should be accent strip.
- 00:14:30.763 --> 00:14:32.332
- I said, i think we'll pass a
- 00:14:32.332 --> 00:14:33.967
- What we call concurrent resolution,
- 00:14:33.967 --> 00:14:35.401
- And they
- 00:14:35.401 --> 00:14:36.569
- Get officially the texas strip because most of the steak
- 00:14:36.569 --> 00:14:40.540
- The people eat around the country, comes from texas.
- 00:14:40.540 --> 00:14:43.743
- In the united states, we we normally have
- 00:14:43.743 --> 00:14:45.345
- About 6 million head of cattle.
- 00:14:45.345 --> 00:14:46.846
- We have a few a beef cattle, we have a few less now
- 00:14:46.846 --> 00:14:49.983
- Because of the drought. but we are the provider.
- 00:14:49.983 --> 00:14:52.352
- Maybe kansas city, kansas was once upon a time in the past,
- 00:14:52.352 --> 00:14:55.989
- But we're the ones when you have a great steak
- 00:14:55.989 --> 00:14:58.424
- Like it came from here.
- 00:14:58.424 --> 00:14:59.792
- So when this session is over in june, allen, i'm
- 00:14:59.792 --> 00:15:02.929
- Going to get on a cruise ship out of galveston, texas.
- 00:15:02.929 --> 00:15:05.264
- I'm going to sail
- 00:15:05.264 --> 00:15:06.466
- Across the gulf of america and have myself a texas trip.
- 00:15:06.466 --> 00:15:10.303
- I like the way you think.
- 00:15:10.870 --> 00:15:12.805
- Well, lieutenant governor, we thank you for your service.
- 00:15:12.805 --> 00:15:15.241
- Not just to the state of texas, but to our nation.
- 00:15:15.241 --> 00:15:17.410
- God bless you, sir.
- 00:15:17.410 --> 00:15:18.711
- And god bless you all.
- 00:15:18.711 --> 00:15:20.747
- When we come back, there'll be a word
- 00:15:20.747 --> 00:15:22.081
- About why our hope was never lost.
- 00:15:22.081 --> 00:15:25.051
- We'll be right back.
- 00:15:25.051 --> 00:15:32.001
- We'll be right back.
- 00:15:32.001 --> 00:15:34.228
- You know, during the prior administration,
- 00:15:35.095 --> 00:15:36.897
- Millions of people from all over the world
- 00:15:36.897 --> 00:15:38.899
- Approached our border with the aim
- 00:15:38.899 --> 00:15:40.234
- Of getting into our nation illegally.
- 00:15:40.234 --> 00:15:43.504
- They weren't coming to our nation
- 00:15:43.504 --> 00:15:44.872
- Because we're hateful, bigoted, or mean spirited tyrants.
- 00:15:44.872 --> 00:15:48.575
- They were pouring into our nation
- 00:15:48.575 --> 00:15:49.943
- Because they perceived there to be opportunities here
- 00:15:49.943 --> 00:15:52.713
- That are not president available to them
- 00:15:52.713 --> 00:15:54.581
- Anyplace else in the world.
- 00:15:54.581 --> 00:15:56.750
- Well, the legacy media and the previous administration
- 00:15:56.750 --> 00:15:59.653
- Like to portray open borders
- 00:15:59.653 --> 00:16:01.055
- And as an expression of compassion.
- 00:16:01.055 --> 00:16:03.724
- However, there are real consequences to an open border.
- 00:16:03.724 --> 00:16:07.795
- Because of the flood of illegal immigrants.
- 00:16:07.795 --> 00:16:09.863
- Billions of dollars were taken from us citizens
- 00:16:09.863 --> 00:16:13.333
- While overwhelming our educational system,
- 00:16:13.333 --> 00:16:15.269
- Our health care systems, our housing.
- 00:16:15.269 --> 00:16:17.704
- Some american cities are still doing everything
- 00:16:17.704 --> 00:16:20.207
- In their power to protect illegal immigrants,
- 00:16:20.207 --> 00:16:22.910
- With even greater
- 00:16:22.910 --> 00:16:23.977
- Enthusiasm than their concern for the education
- 00:16:23.977 --> 00:16:26.146
- Of the children who are citizens in those same cities.
- 00:16:26.146 --> 00:16:29.383
- It's disorienting.
- 00:16:29.817 --> 00:16:31.785
- Now, i'm not trying to point
- 00:16:31.785 --> 00:16:32.853
- Hatred at the people that are invading our country,
- 00:16:32.853 --> 00:16:35.923
- But i am trying to tell you that we need to wake up
- 00:16:35.923 --> 00:16:38.425
- And understand
- 00:16:38.425 --> 00:16:39.493
- The grand manipulation by the media, the politicians,
- 00:16:39.493 --> 00:16:42.963
- And many in the shadows who seek to divide us.
- 00:16:42.963 --> 00:16:46.467
- The truth is, an open border is dangerous to all citizens.
- 00:16:46.467 --> 00:16:50.337
- I'm grateful
- 00:16:50.671 --> 00:16:51.905
- For the clear eyed approach taken by our new administration
- 00:16:51.905 --> 00:16:54.675
- And state officials, like the lieutenant governor,
- 00:16:54.675 --> 00:16:56.910
- Dan patrick, in texas, against all the illegal immigration.
- 00:16:56.910 --> 00:17:00.414
- But how did we arrive at this place?
- 00:17:01.181 --> 00:17:03.617
- I would submit to you it's because the church has not
- 00:17:03.617 --> 00:17:05.686
- Had the courage to talk about biblical perspectives.
- 00:17:05.686 --> 00:17:08.655
- The church has failed to teach about the sovereignty of god.
- 00:17:08.655 --> 00:17:11.758
- We've got no imagination of boundaries or borders.
- 00:17:11.758 --> 00:17:14.695
- As christians, let's go back to the fundamentals
- 00:17:14.695 --> 00:17:17.164
- Of the word of god.
- 00:17:17.164 --> 00:17:18.665
- Pay attention to the thou shalt not,
- 00:17:18.665 --> 00:17:20.901
- Because they're protective boundaries
- 00:17:20.901 --> 00:17:22.636
- That keep us from negative outcomes.
- 00:17:22.636 --> 00:17:25.072
- As believers,
- 00:17:25.072 --> 00:17:26.306
- We need the foundation of god's word to help us sort through
- 00:17:26.306 --> 00:17:29.042
- The confusing clutter of today's culture.
- 00:17:29.042 --> 00:17:32.212
- Life is full of choices, and some of our choices come
- 00:17:33.280 --> 00:17:35.549
- With significant consequences, both for ourselves and others.
- 00:17:35.549 --> 00:17:39.153
- But choosing the way of faithfulness
- 00:17:39.153 --> 00:17:41.054
- Will bring clarity to every choice we make.
- 00:17:41.054 --> 00:17:44.091
- If we all do that, i promise there's more reasons
- 00:17:44.091 --> 00:17:46.927
- For hope than there are for despair.
- 00:17:46.927 --> 00:17:50.063
- We'll be back in just a moment with your emails.
- 00:17:50.063 --> 00:17:58.008
- We'll be back in just a moment with your emails.
- 00:17:58.008 --> 00:18:01.410
- Thank you for taking the time
- 00:18:02.044 --> 00:18:03.345
- To send your emails, your thoughts and opinions.
- 00:18:03.345 --> 00:18:05.714
- They matter.
- 00:18:05.714 --> 00:18:07.216
- Karen from colorado emailed.
- 00:18:07.216 --> 00:18:08.851
- I'm very grateful for the messages
- 00:18:08.851 --> 00:18:10.519
- Delivered in each episode.
- 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:11.654
- The fact that faith is connected
- 00:18:11.654 --> 00:18:13.255
- To what is happening in our world today
- 00:18:13.255 --> 00:18:15.224
- Is enlightening and encouraging.
- 00:18:15.224 --> 00:18:17.326
- I thank god for the fact that this congregation
- 00:18:17.326 --> 00:18:19.361
- And this minister have the courage to speak the truth.
- 00:18:19.361 --> 00:18:22.298
- Well. thanks, corinne. i'm afraid of the boss.
- 00:18:22.298 --> 00:18:24.533
- I think we better tell the truth.
- 00:18:24.533 --> 00:18:26.702
- The web's from southeast pennsylvania, said pastor.
- 00:18:26.702 --> 00:18:29.271
- Another good, informative interview program
- 00:18:29.271 --> 00:18:31.240
- By you and our dear friend chuck nash.
- 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:34.043
- Chuck texted us right after he finished taping last week,
- 00:18:34.043 --> 00:18:37.413
- And now, you know, first thing entering
- 00:18:37.413 --> 00:18:39.381
- A room is to check where all the exits are located.
- 00:18:39.381 --> 00:18:42.718
- Watch your program nightly and pray daily for you all.
- 00:18:42.718 --> 00:18:45.854
- Psalm 91 protection in james one five.
- 00:18:45.854 --> 00:18:48.390
- Wisdom over your entire team.
- 00:18:48.390 --> 00:18:50.793
- Thank you. webs.
- 00:18:50.793 --> 00:18:52.127
- Your prayers have made a difference.
- 00:18:52.127 --> 00:18:54.563
- And chuck nash is a true patriot and a gift to all of us.
- 00:18:54.563 --> 00:18:59.335
- S commented on a youtube episode with scott brown.
- 00:18:59.335 --> 00:19:02.805
- I'm so glad that rfk jr is over the health.
- 00:19:02.805 --> 00:19:06.208
- Not just our foods, but also the chem trail chemicals
- 00:19:06.208 --> 00:19:09.545
- Where they are spraying bad stuff
- 00:19:09.545 --> 00:19:10.946
- Over our lands, and the meds that don't heal
- 00:19:10.946 --> 00:19:13.115
- But cause another problem.
- 00:19:13.115 --> 00:19:14.817
- Too many people, old and young, are sick and in bad health.
- 00:19:14.817 --> 00:19:18.153
- Lord help us.
- 00:19:18.153 --> 00:19:20.422
- I agree there's some changes coming to our health care
- 00:19:20.422 --> 00:19:23.392
- That i believe will be better for all of us.
- 00:19:23.392 --> 00:19:26.161
- We need to pray for mr. kennedy.
- 00:19:26.161 --> 00:19:27.730
- There's a horrible onslaught against him,
- 00:19:27.730 --> 00:19:30.532
- And they're making it personal.
- 00:19:30.532 --> 00:19:31.667
- That's difficult.
- 00:19:31.667 --> 00:19:33.469
- And finally, fern johnson, email pastor jackson,
- 00:19:33.469 --> 00:19:35.671
- I watched your daily program for a number of years
- 00:19:35.671 --> 00:19:38.307
- And also watched live.
- 00:19:38.307 --> 00:19:39.975
- I'm enjoying your new afternoon program.
- 00:19:39.975 --> 00:19:41.877
- I especially like steve moore,
- 00:19:41.877 --> 00:19:43.712
- Alveda king, and gordon chang, just to mention a few.
- 00:19:43.712 --> 00:19:46.649
- There are more reasons for hope than despair is true.
- 00:19:46.649 --> 00:19:50.085
- Thank you for all the ministries
- 00:19:50.085 --> 00:19:51.420
- That bring blessings to us all.
- 00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:53.756
- God's the one who brings the hope
- 00:19:54.523 --> 00:19:56.158
- If we will keep saying yes to him.
- 00:19:56.158 --> 00:19:58.093
- I believe hope will become contagious in a whole new way.
- 00:19:58.093 --> 00:20:01.530
- Thanks for your thoughts.
- 00:20:01.530 --> 00:20:02.798
- Make sure to send your emails
- 00:20:02.798 --> 00:20:04.066

- 00:20:04.066 --> 00:20:06.969
- And from all of us here in nashville.
- 00:20:06.969 --> 00:20:08.637
- Thank you for joining us tonight.
- 00:20:08.637 --> 00:20:10.205
