What if someone new came along with a fresh operating principle? A person who has travelled the world, seen the worst of it but deals strictly with how to move forward. An honest and inspiring leader who has lived the full Christian life as a pastor and uses his wisdom to inspire others. Meet Allen Jackson.

Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: May 14, 2025 | Allen Jackson Now | May 14, 2025
- Well.
- 00:00:04.996 --> 00:00:05.430
- Good evening.
- 00:00:05.430 --> 00:00:06.431
- I'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
- 00:00:06.431 --> 00:00:08.133
- I want to begin tonight with something
- 00:00:08.133 --> 00:00:09.801
- That we all learned in our classes about government.
- 00:00:09.801 --> 00:00:12.737
- If i remember correctly,
- 00:00:12.737 --> 00:00:14.206
- After the president of the united states,
- 00:00:14.206 --> 00:00:16.374
- The next most powerful people are the vice president,
- 00:00:16.374 --> 00:00:19.144
- The speaker of the house of representatives,
- 00:00:19.144 --> 00:00:21.313
- Then the senate majority leader.
- 00:00:21.313 --> 00:00:23.348
- The next three or the chief justice,
- 00:00:23.348 --> 00:00:25.016
- The secretary of state and the treasury secretary.
- 00:00:25.016 --> 00:00:28.053
- But here's the catch.
- 00:00:28.053 --> 00:00:29.054
- Well, those six are right below
- 00:00:29.054 --> 00:00:30.388
- The president in terms of decision making.
- 00:00:30.388 --> 00:00:33.058
- None of them can exercise constitute authority
- 00:00:33.058 --> 00:00:35.794
- Unilaterally.
- 00:00:35.794 --> 00:00:37.129
- Only the president can do that.
- 00:00:37.129 --> 00:00:39.197
- But so too can the 630 district
- 00:00:39.197 --> 00:00:41.766
- Judges who seem to be a part of our nightly news cycle.
- 00:00:41.766 --> 00:00:45.170
- Now, all 630 of them have the authority to make
- 00:00:45.170 --> 00:00:48.974
- Unilateral decisions that can affect the entire country.
- 00:00:48.974 --> 00:00:52.978
- And here's just a taste of what they've individually done
- 00:00:52.978 --> 00:00:55.881
- Since president trump took office.
- 00:00:55.881 --> 00:00:58.116
- They stopped the layoffs of the bloated federal government.
- 00:00:58.116 --> 00:01:01.319
- They've stopped the budget cuts despite the $37 trillion debt.
- 00:01:01.319 --> 00:01:05.891
- They've stopped some of the deportations of men
- 00:01:05.891 --> 00:01:08.059
- Who were here illegally raping and robbing our citizens.
- 00:01:08.059 --> 00:01:12.097
- Well, the question is, can they be stopped?
- 00:01:12.097 --> 00:01:14.866
- Well, joining us tonight, our legal expert, guy lewis,
- 00:01:14.866 --> 00:01:18.036
- The former u.s.
- 00:01:18.036 --> 00:01:19.070
- Attorney for the southern district of florida.
- 00:01:19.070 --> 00:01:21.206
- Welcome back. guy.
- 00:01:21.206 --> 00:01:22.707
- Thanks a lot, alan.
- 00:01:23.175 --> 00:01:24.042
- Great to be with you.
- 00:01:24.042 --> 00:01:25.143
- And, you're doing a terrific job.
- 00:01:25.143 --> 00:01:28.246
- Well, it's been an eye opening start for president trump's
- 00:01:28.246 --> 00:01:30.682
- Second term.
- 00:01:30.682 --> 00:01:31.816
- He was voted in with the full authority
- 00:01:31.816 --> 00:01:33.685
- Of the american people.
- 00:01:33.685 --> 00:01:34.920
- And yet here we are with district judges
- 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.055
- Picking and choosing what they want to do.
- 00:01:37.055 --> 00:01:39.491
- More than half of them were appointed by biden and obama.
- 00:01:39.491 --> 00:01:42.594
- How are they getting away with this?
- 00:01:42.594 --> 00:01:46.131
- It's it's almost too hard to believe.
- 00:01:46.131 --> 00:01:49.000
- When you look at, some of their background
- 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.736
- And frankly, they're a product of their background.
- 00:01:51.736 --> 00:01:54.873
- Many of these judges were activists.
- 00:01:54.873 --> 00:01:57.709
- They were politically involved.
- 00:01:57.709 --> 00:01:59.811
- You watch some of the,
- 00:01:59.811 --> 00:02:01.947
- Clips on tv where,
- 00:02:01.947 --> 00:02:04.149
- Some of the senators were questioning him.
- 00:02:04.149 --> 00:02:05.850
- It's almost impossible to believe that they've now
- 00:02:05.850 --> 00:02:09.120
- Walked into a united states federal district court room,
- 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.624
- And they've not left their politics at the door.
- 00:02:12.624 --> 00:02:16.027
- That was what used to happen in the old days.
- 00:02:16.027 --> 00:02:19.331
- And unfortunately, we seem that we seem to be way past that.
- 00:02:19.331 --> 00:02:23.535
- Well, one of the most startling decisions to me
- 00:02:24.469 --> 00:02:26.738
- Is the interfering with the arrest and deportations
- 00:02:26.738 --> 00:02:29.207
- Of known criminals and gang members.
- 00:02:29.207 --> 00:02:31.409
- These are the ones who were threatening the lives
- 00:02:31.409 --> 00:02:33.345
- And safety of women, children and other men in this country.
- 00:02:33.345 --> 00:02:36.715
- And yet, we're being told that these clearly illegal visitors
- 00:02:36.715 --> 00:02:40.252
- Are not being given due process.
- 00:02:40.252 --> 00:02:43.021
- Listen to congressman byron donald.
- 00:02:43.021 --> 00:02:46.091
- The american people have been clear
- 00:02:46.091 --> 00:02:48.260
- That they want criminal illegal aliens, number one, and illegal
- 00:02:48.260 --> 00:02:52.330
- Aliens over all return to their home countries.
- 00:02:52.330 --> 00:02:55.433
- Donald trump is fulfilling that promise.
- 00:02:55.433 --> 00:02:57.802
- Now, i think to the broader question
- 00:02:57.802 --> 00:02:59.204
- In this entire situation,
- 00:02:59.204 --> 00:03:00.772
- Is it okay for the previous administration
- 00:03:00.772 --> 00:03:03.508
- To abuse the border security laws, abuse, asylum, abuse,
- 00:03:03.508 --> 00:03:08.079
- Temporary protected status,
- 00:03:08.079 --> 00:03:09.781
- Open up the country
- 00:03:09.781 --> 00:03:10.915
- To millions of people and then hide behind due process
- 00:03:10.915 --> 00:03:14.085
- Where it would take us 15 years to actually process people back
- 00:03:14.085 --> 00:03:17.822
- Out of the united states.
- 00:03:17.822 --> 00:03:19.324
- Guy, to these judges and
- 00:03:19.858 --> 00:03:21.092
- Progressive politicians dislike our president
- 00:03:21.092 --> 00:03:23.495
- So much that they're willing to let things
- 00:03:23.495 --> 00:03:25.263
- Wait 15 years so they can have due process.
- 00:03:25.263 --> 00:03:29.668
- But the short answer is yes.
- 00:03:30.268 --> 00:03:32.203
- We've watched that unfold over the past month
- 00:03:32.203 --> 00:03:36.207
- And several months.
- 00:03:36.207 --> 00:03:37.309
- The last administration, of course, it was an open
- 00:03:37.309 --> 00:03:40.111
- Border, free for all, anyone who shows up.
- 00:03:40.111 --> 00:03:43.915
- They get em, they get their telephone,
- 00:03:43.915 --> 00:03:46.384
- They get their credit cards, they get apartments.
- 00:03:46.384 --> 00:03:49.321
- You name it.
- 00:03:49.321 --> 00:03:50.288
- All on the backs of taxpaying us citizens.
- 00:03:50.288 --> 00:03:54.059
- But to put a fine point on your,
- 00:03:54.059 --> 00:03:58.196
- Comment, alan, these individuals are getting due process.
- 00:03:58.196 --> 00:04:04.369
- The individuals who came in illegally
- 00:04:04.369 --> 00:04:07.539
- Without permission, they go through a proceeding
- 00:04:07.539 --> 00:04:11.009
- Where they see an immigration judge, and the judge listens
- 00:04:11.009 --> 00:04:15.480
- To both sides and generally, generally orders deportation.
- 00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:20.819
- That's almost all the cases.
- 00:04:20.819 --> 00:04:22.921
- So this idea that they're not getting
- 00:04:22.921 --> 00:04:24.956
- Some measure of due process is simply wrong.
- 00:04:24.956 --> 00:04:30.362
- Well, it could be that some of these judges know
- 00:04:31.329 --> 00:04:33.365
- Their decision
- 00:04:33.365 --> 00:04:34.499
- Won't hold up as it rides through the higher courts,
- 00:04:34.499 --> 00:04:37.235
- But they may want to just delay things as long as they can.
- 00:04:37.235 --> 00:04:40.305
- How often is that our reality?
- 00:04:40.305 --> 00:04:43.141
- Unfortunately, during the last term, that was the reality.
- 00:04:43.141 --> 00:04:47.879
- Tens of millions, really, literally millions
- 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.583
- And millions of individuals were pouring across the border.
- 00:04:51.583 --> 00:04:55.553
- We heard from the other side that, oh, it can't be stopped.
- 00:04:55.553 --> 00:04:59.157
- There are legal reasons.
- 00:04:59.157 --> 00:05:00.592
- There are other reasons that we just can't stop it.
- 00:05:00.592 --> 00:05:04.629
- Well, look what happened. trump comes here.
- 00:05:04.629 --> 00:05:06.731
- Why do you love him or hated trump came in
- 00:05:06.731 --> 00:05:10.135
- And he says no more.
- 00:05:10.135 --> 00:05:12.036
- He put the military down there.
- 00:05:12.036 --> 00:05:14.038
- He put he enhanced border patrol and other law enforcement.
- 00:05:14.038 --> 00:05:18.109
- And all of a sudden it is a grim battleground.
- 00:05:18.109 --> 00:05:21.846
- There are literally only dozens who are trying to enter
- 00:05:21.846 --> 00:05:26.084
- The southern border now, all because of trump
- 00:05:26.084 --> 00:05:29.120
- And the action that he took.
- 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:30.622
- Well, guy lewis, please stay with us for another segment.
- 00:05:31.756 --> 00:05:34.025
- I've got several more questions for you.
- 00:05:34.025 --> 00:05:36.995
- Yes, sir.
- 00:05:36.995 --> 00:05:38.096
- And later in the show, i'll add some thoughts of my own
- 00:05:38.096 --> 00:05:40.498
- On where the ultimate truth may lie.
- 00:05:40.498 --> 00:05:42.734
- We get a perspective from scripture.
- 00:05:42.734 --> 00:05:44.402
- In the meantime, open up the aj now.com on your phone.
- 00:05:44.402 --> 00:05:48.139
- Send us an email with your opinion
- 00:05:48.139 --> 00:05:49.974
- On our conversation about these wayward judges.
- 00:05:49.974 --> 00:05:53.011
- I'll be right back.
- 00:05:53.011 --> 00:06:00.009
- I'll be right back.
- 00:06:00.009 --> 00:06:04.857
- We're back now with the former u.s.
- 00:06:05.591 --> 00:06:07.326
- Attorney of florida, guy lewis.
- 00:06:07.326 --> 00:06:10.062
- Congress is now working on several initiatives
- 00:06:10.062 --> 00:06:12.498
- To limit the scope of these nationwide injunctions,
- 00:06:12.498 --> 00:06:15.568
- Including the possibility of impeaching certain judges
- 00:06:15.568 --> 00:06:18.537
- Who are acting more like politicians than lawyers
- 00:06:18.537 --> 00:06:21.640
- Who were supposed to be following the law.
- 00:06:21.640 --> 00:06:24.043
- What do you think should be done first?
- 00:06:24.043 --> 00:06:26.479
- So in reality, i appreciate and i think americans in general
- 00:06:26.479 --> 00:06:31.016
- Respect the independence of the judiciary.
- 00:06:31.016 --> 00:06:34.453
- But they are only judges.
- 00:06:35.020 --> 00:06:37.022
- They aren't the executive we didn't see.
- 00:06:37.022 --> 00:06:40.493
- And this is nothing new in history.
- 00:06:40.493 --> 00:06:42.995
- We've seen this in the past.
- 00:06:42.995 --> 00:06:45.531
- There was a great president by the name of andrew jackson
- 00:06:45.531 --> 00:06:49.201
- Who defied several federal judges several times.
- 00:06:49.201 --> 00:06:53.539
- In fact, what happened was just in one case,
- 00:06:53.539 --> 00:06:56.775
- A federal judge ordered him while
- 00:06:56.775 --> 00:06:58.777
- He was on the outskirts of, of, new orleans
- 00:06:58.777 --> 00:07:02.781
- Waiting for an invasion,
- 00:07:02.781 --> 00:07:04.450
- Ordered him to release certain individuals.
- 00:07:04.450 --> 00:07:06.418
- He wouldn't do it.
- 00:07:06.418 --> 00:07:07.686
- And there are other cases where andy jackson,
- 00:07:07.686 --> 00:07:10.055
- You think president trump, for example,
- 00:07:10.055 --> 00:07:11.891
- Has his picture in the oval office, has his portrait?
- 00:07:11.891 --> 00:07:15.995
- That's no, that's no mistake.
- 00:07:15.995 --> 00:07:18.430
- But he's a president who has not
- 00:07:18.430 --> 00:07:21.166
- Had to at the federal judiciary.
- 00:07:21.166 --> 00:07:23.369
- And in most cases, the executive branch comes out on top.
- 00:07:23.369 --> 00:07:27.606
- Local politicians outside new york city have created
- 00:07:28.674 --> 00:07:31.944
- A scene at a migrant holding facility in newark, new jersey,
- 00:07:31.944 --> 00:07:35.447
- Arguing that the due process issue,
- 00:07:35.447 --> 00:07:38.951
- A lot of them simply like to sound off for the camera.
- 00:07:38.951 --> 00:07:42.421
- Here's an exhibit i think we could call that exhibit aoc.
- 00:07:42.421 --> 00:07:46.392
- If anyone's breaking the law in this situation,
- 00:07:47.359 --> 00:07:50.396
- It's not members of congress,
- 00:07:50.396 --> 00:07:52.064
- It's the department of homeland security.
- 00:07:52.064 --> 00:07:54.400
- It's people like tom homan and secretary christie know
- 00:07:54.400 --> 00:07:57.970
- You lay a finger on someone.
- 00:07:57.970 --> 00:08:00.973
- On representative bonnie watson coleman on representatives
- 00:08:00.973 --> 00:08:05.544
- Or any of the representatives that were there,
- 00:08:05.544 --> 00:08:07.880
- You lay a finger on them.
- 00:08:07.880 --> 00:08:09.181
- We are going to have a problem
- 00:08:09.181 --> 00:08:11.317
- Because the people who are breaking
- 00:08:11.317 --> 00:08:12.785
- The law are the people who are not abiding by it.
- 00:08:12.785 --> 00:08:16.221
- You know, the new york media loves recording dysfunction.
- 00:08:17.356 --> 00:08:20.526
- But that aside, i want to ask this due process
- 00:08:20.526 --> 00:08:23.095
- Applied to the millions of people
- 00:08:23.095 --> 00:08:24.430
- Who have come to our country illegally.
- 00:08:24.430 --> 00:08:26.899
- It does, preacher, but
- 00:08:27.366 --> 00:08:28.767
- Only in a very limited way.
- 00:08:28.767 --> 00:08:31.837
- Look, there are two ways
- 00:08:31.837 --> 00:08:32.871
- To enter the country legally and illegally.
- 00:08:32.871 --> 00:08:36.642
- If you do it legally, you apply for the paperwork,
- 00:08:36.642 --> 00:08:39.912
- You come and you present documents.
- 00:08:39.912 --> 00:08:42.915
- You you do it in the right way.
- 00:08:42.915 --> 00:08:44.850
- People wait literally years and years before they're allowed
- 00:08:44.850 --> 00:08:49.989
- In the privilege of living and entering and into
- 00:08:49.989 --> 00:08:53.926
- And living in the united states.
- 00:08:53.926 --> 00:08:55.594
- And then there are those criminals, others who come in
- 00:08:55.594 --> 00:08:59.965
- And take advantage of us and our laws and,
- 00:08:59.965 --> 00:09:04.336
- You know, it'll be, a long time before
- 00:09:04.336 --> 00:09:07.806
- I listen to aoc, lecture me about what's right.
- 00:09:07.806 --> 00:09:12.444
- What's wrong in terms of the immigration process.
- 00:09:12.444 --> 00:09:15.514
- She favors open borders.
- 00:09:15.514 --> 00:09:17.516
- She doesn't believe that the law should apply in this regard.
- 00:09:17.516 --> 00:09:21.654
- And so, shame on her for not,
- 00:09:21.654 --> 00:09:25.557
- Really being
- 00:09:25.891 --> 00:09:26.692
- Honest in terms of what the law is
- 00:09:26.692 --> 00:09:30.029
- And why it's important for us to uphold the law.
- 00:09:30.029 --> 00:09:33.132
- Well, before we finish, i want to be sure to ask
- 00:09:34.099 --> 00:09:36.669
- About some next steps.
- 00:09:36.669 --> 00:09:38.470
- A few years ago,
- 00:09:38.470 --> 00:09:39.705
- The supreme court hinted at how it will handle these issues.
- 00:09:39.705 --> 00:09:42.441
- Justice thomas said that he's skeptical
- 00:09:42.441 --> 00:09:44.510
- That district courts have the authority
- 00:09:44.510 --> 00:09:45.978
- To enter national injunctions.
- 00:09:45.978 --> 00:09:48.047
- And justice gorsuch said that if the use of them continues,
- 00:09:48.047 --> 00:09:51.450
- The court will need to address their legality.
- 00:09:51.450 --> 00:09:54.520
- Well, tomorrow the court is going to hear
- 00:09:54.520 --> 00:09:56.055
- Oral arguments
- 00:09:56.055 --> 00:09:57.156
- On the first of these new cases under president trump.
- 00:09:57.156 --> 00:09:59.958
- The case involves immigration, but the supreme court's focus
- 00:09:59.958 --> 00:10:03.262
- Will be on the issue we've spoken about today.
- 00:10:03.262 --> 00:10:06.432
- So do these federal courts have the authority
- 00:10:06.432 --> 00:10:08.667
- To issue nationwide injunctions?
- 00:10:08.667 --> 00:10:10.969
- And do you think the supreme court will use this initial case
- 00:10:10.969 --> 00:10:14.239
- To stop the injunctions before more of them develop?
- 00:10:14.239 --> 00:10:17.743
- Great question, alan.
- 00:10:18.243 --> 00:10:19.611
- So here's what's happening.
- 00:10:19.611 --> 00:10:21.413
- The the ultra left will cherry pick a venue.
- 00:10:21.413 --> 00:10:26.251
- I mean, they're not coming to the heartland
- 00:10:26.251 --> 00:10:28.654
- Of america, to tennessee or to any other places
- 00:10:28.654 --> 00:10:32.091
- Where they're offering a petition to say, judge,
- 00:10:32.091 --> 00:10:35.694
- Give us a fair interpretation of what the constitution says.
- 00:10:35.694 --> 00:10:40.099
- Instead, they're going to those states
- 00:10:40.099 --> 00:10:42.401
- Where they know that they've got an unlevel playing field.
- 00:10:42.401 --> 00:10:47.072
- They know they've got a distinct advantage
- 00:10:47.072 --> 00:10:50.709
- As a result of the likelihood of a certain judge
- 00:10:50.709 --> 00:10:54.513
- Being assigned to the case.
- 00:10:54.513 --> 00:10:56.715
- They go in there.
- 00:10:56.715 --> 00:10:58.751
- Knowing that they've got that advantage.
- 00:10:58.751 --> 00:11:01.220
- And then we've got a judge on a really
- 00:11:01.220 --> 00:11:04.189
- An isolated issue, a single case
- 00:11:04.189 --> 00:11:07.459
- In in maryland or in california that says, you know what?
- 00:11:07.459 --> 00:11:11.597
- I'm going to make it apply nationwide.
- 00:11:11.597 --> 00:11:14.666
- Every single judge, every single jurisdiction.
- 00:11:14.666 --> 00:11:19.037
- Then has to abide by that single judge's opinion.
- 00:11:19.037 --> 00:11:23.742
- And no surprise, folks, they are getting routinely,
- 00:11:23.742 --> 00:11:28.447
- Regularly overruled and reversed.
- 00:11:28.447 --> 00:11:32.050
- The argument for the supreme court's going to be a big one.
- 00:11:32.050 --> 00:11:35.487
- This has been this is, been in in preparation for a long time.
- 00:11:35.487 --> 00:11:40.325
- And i think you're going to have a majority,
- 00:11:40.325 --> 00:11:43.195
- Maybe a slim majority, but a pejorative.
- 00:11:43.195 --> 00:11:45.464
- The panel say it's not right.
- 00:11:45.464 --> 00:11:48.700
- We've got to trim the fat off this,
- 00:11:48.700 --> 00:11:50.969
- And we can't allow this abuse of process to continue.
- 00:11:50.969 --> 00:11:55.307
- Well, guy, you mentioned andrew jackson.
- 00:11:56.141 --> 00:11:58.510
- His home was in nashville.
- 00:11:58.510 --> 00:11:59.778
- I'm sure you know,
- 00:11:59.778 --> 00:12:01.213
- I visited the hermitage many times,
- 00:12:01.213 --> 00:12:02.915
- And there was something of a legend
- 00:12:02.915 --> 00:12:04.149
- That just used to be repeated when he would visit.
- 00:12:04.149 --> 00:12:06.618
- One of the men who had worked with andrew jackson
- 00:12:06.618 --> 00:12:08.620
- For many years was asked if he thought
- 00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:10.122
- Andrew jackson went to heaven.
- 00:12:10.122 --> 00:12:12.224
- And the man paused for a moment and said, well,
- 00:12:12.224 --> 00:12:14.459
- If he made up his mind, he wanted to.
- 00:12:14.459 --> 00:12:16.228
- He did.
- 00:12:16.228 --> 00:12:18.630
- History seems to have treated andrew jackson pretty well.
- 00:12:18.630 --> 00:12:22.701
- How do you think history would treat president trump?
- 00:12:22.701 --> 00:12:25.370
- I think so.
- 00:12:25.370 --> 00:12:26.605
- I think, look, he's, president jackson is not a bad role model.
- 00:12:26.605 --> 00:12:30.809
- You see his, his statue up on the horse,
- 00:12:30.809 --> 00:12:35.080
- Rearing up on its rear legs with his, sword
- 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:38.917
- And his and his tip of a hat says in the white house.
- 00:12:38.917 --> 00:12:42.821
- Nothing wrong with that in my book.
- 00:12:42.821 --> 00:12:44.590
- Maybe we need a little more,
- 00:12:44.590 --> 00:12:46.325
- Well, guy louis, thank you for joining us today.
- 00:12:47.292 --> 00:12:49.394
- It's good to see you again.
- 00:12:49.394 --> 00:12:50.929
- And we certainly want to have you back on our program soon.
- 00:12:50.929 --> 00:12:53.866
- Thank you for your. god bless you.
- 00:12:53.866 --> 00:12:55.968
- When we come back, my thoughts on
- 00:12:55.968 --> 00:12:57.669
- How we can all move forward by following some scripture
- 00:12:57.669 --> 00:13:00.305
- That applies in times like these.
- 00:13:00.305 --> 00:13:09.008
- That applies in times like these.
- 00:13:09.008 --> 00:13:13.586
- We are witnessing a very unsettling trend.
- 00:13:14.487 --> 00:13:18.124
- We had an election last november and what the people voted
- 00:13:18.124 --> 00:13:20.927
- To happen is being interrupted, if not completely hijacked
- 00:13:20.927 --> 00:13:24.931
- By our legal system.
- 00:13:24.931 --> 00:13:26.966
- Now this feels like another episode of shaking.
- 00:13:26.966 --> 00:13:30.069
- Covid was a shaking back in 2020.
- 00:13:30.069 --> 00:13:32.839
- Another shaking was the october 7th attack by hamas on israel.
- 00:13:32.839 --> 00:13:36.910
- It unveiled, to me at least,
- 00:13:36.910 --> 00:13:38.144
- The depth of the anti-semitism that still exists in america.
- 00:13:38.144 --> 00:13:42.482
- Well, now that the shaking is happening
- 00:13:42.482 --> 00:13:43.950
- With these district court judges predominantly trying
- 00:13:43.950 --> 00:13:47.053
- To impede policies that the voters supported,
- 00:13:47.053 --> 00:13:50.223
- It's revealing a belligerence in the american judiciary, one
- 00:13:50.223 --> 00:13:53.459
- That i don't think is new.
- 00:13:53.459 --> 00:13:55.161
- I just think we've overlooked it.
- 00:13:55.161 --> 00:13:57.263
- We saw it when the fisa court signed off on surveillance
- 00:13:57.263 --> 00:13:59.832
- Of a presidential candidate,
- 00:13:59.832 --> 00:14:01.534
- Which in my thinking, was pretty close
- 00:14:01.534 --> 00:14:03.136
- To unprecedented in american history,
- 00:14:03.136 --> 00:14:05.471
- And there never seemed to be any repercussions for that.
- 00:14:05.471 --> 00:14:08.508
- It's unsettling stuff.
- 00:14:08.508 --> 00:14:10.276
- We watched raids on mar-a-lago, which at the time was former
- 00:14:10.276 --> 00:14:13.613
- President trump's home with red lights and the fbi high drama.
- 00:14:13.613 --> 00:14:18.151
- They also came for roger stone late at night,
- 00:14:18.151 --> 00:14:21.187
- Coming to his home.
- 00:14:21.187 --> 00:14:22.188
- It looked like a swat team raiding
- 00:14:22.188 --> 00:14:23.856
- Some terrorist installation, and they just happened
- 00:14:23.856 --> 00:14:26.859
- To have cnn joining them to record all the activity.
- 00:14:26.859 --> 00:14:30.730
- All of that was presided over with judicial approval.
- 00:14:30.730 --> 00:14:34.734
- We had 20 million illegal immigrants flood
- 00:14:34.734 --> 00:14:37.236
- Into our country,
- 00:14:37.236 --> 00:14:38.538
- And i didn't hear any of the district
- 00:14:38.538 --> 00:14:39.939
- Court judges issuing injunctions
- 00:14:39.939 --> 00:14:41.874
- Against any of the people that were presiding over that.
- 00:14:41.874 --> 00:14:45.278
- They weren't doing anything to stem the flow of that.
- 00:14:45.278 --> 00:14:48.247
- And yet now they're giving interest in
- 00:14:48.247 --> 00:14:50.616
- Giving legal process to people who came to this country
- 00:14:50.616 --> 00:14:54.187
- Without any formal legal process at all.
- 00:14:54.187 --> 00:14:57.156
- Our legal system is in trouble.
- 00:14:57.156 --> 00:14:59.292
- And when these district judges issue a universal injunction,
- 00:14:59.292 --> 00:15:02.362
- They're not hearing a case from both sides.
- 00:15:02.362 --> 00:15:04.430
- They're not listening to an argument.
- 00:15:04.430 --> 00:15:06.299
- The plaintiffs in the lawsuit
- 00:15:06.299 --> 00:15:07.500
- Court shop,
- 00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:08.368
- They look for a judge that they think
- 00:15:08.368 --> 00:15:09.736
- Will be favorably disposed to their opinion.
- 00:15:09.736 --> 00:15:12.638
- And then they come and ask that judge
- 00:15:12.638 --> 00:15:14.107
- For a ruling that will stop whatever it is that they want
- 00:15:14.107 --> 00:15:17.110
- Stopped or start whatever they want started.
- 00:15:17.110 --> 00:15:20.847
- So it's really a circumventing of justice.
- 00:15:20.847 --> 00:15:23.783
- But i would suggest to you that it's a spiritual conflict.
- 00:15:23.783 --> 00:15:27.186
- We better wake up.
- 00:15:27.186 --> 00:15:28.554
- I think the church has stumbled badly.
- 00:15:28.554 --> 00:15:31.224
- I've talked to church leaders across the country,
- 00:15:31.224 --> 00:15:33.593
- And i've heard this repeatedly, that there is a lethargy
- 00:15:33.593 --> 00:15:36.396
- That has come to our nation since last november.
- 00:15:36.396 --> 00:15:39.399
- It seems as if we christians have to repent a bit for sitting
- 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.002
- On our recliners with our robes on saying go team!
- 00:15:43.002 --> 00:15:47.407
- There's been a greater appetite for entertainment
- 00:15:47.407 --> 00:15:49.642
- And a much lesser appetite for engagement.
- 00:15:49.642 --> 00:15:52.979
- We, as christ followers are called to love the truth, hunger
- 00:15:52.979 --> 00:15:56.349
- And thirst for righteousness,
- 00:15:56.349 --> 00:15:57.884
- And to be the light that dispels the darkness.
- 00:15:57.884 --> 00:16:01.054
- In amos five, it's verse 24, just let justice roll
- 00:16:01.054 --> 00:16:04.524
- On like a river, righteousness like a never failing stream.
- 00:16:04.524 --> 00:16:08.728
- So let's get up from our recliners,
- 00:16:09.495 --> 00:16:11.197
- Humble ourselves and pray.
- 00:16:11.197 --> 00:16:13.433
- And may a reverence for god fill our hearts and our minds
- 00:16:13.433 --> 00:16:16.335
- So that jesus might be honored in this generation.
- 00:16:16.335 --> 00:16:20.073
- That is a reason for hope.
- 00:16:20.073 --> 00:16:22.408
- We'll be back with your emails in just a moment.
- 00:16:22.408 --> 00:16:32.009

- Happening with our program and the larger ministry.

- Thank you for your emails, your perspectives.
- 00:16:55.876 --> 00:16:58.212
- They make such a big difference to us.
- 00:16:58.212 --> 00:17:00.147
- Robert f emailed what donald trump
- 00:17:00.147 --> 00:17:02.216
- Is attempting to accomplish is desperately needed.
- 00:17:02.216 --> 00:17:05.152
- And i agree with most of it.
- 00:17:05.152 --> 00:17:06.687
- But if this nation doesn't
- 00:17:06.687 --> 00:17:07.855
- Sincerely turn to the living and true god,
- 00:17:07.855 --> 00:17:10.791
- It will all be futile in the end.
- 00:17:10.791 --> 00:17:12.759
- I suspect that this is likely the final opportunity to do so.
- 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:16.830
- Well, robert, honestly, i
- 00:17:17.397 --> 00:17:18.465
- Don't know if it's our nation's final opportunity,
- 00:17:18.465 --> 00:17:20.868
- But i suspect for us it's our final opportunity.
- 00:17:20.868 --> 00:17:23.971
- You know, i'm often asked if i think
- 00:17:23.971 --> 00:17:25.439
- This is the end of the age or these are the last days.
- 00:17:25.439 --> 00:17:28.842
- I don't always know for certain
- 00:17:28.842 --> 00:17:30.244
- About that, but i can tell you for certain
- 00:17:30.244 --> 00:17:31.879
- These are our last days.
- 00:17:31.879 --> 00:17:33.614
- So we want to choose the truth and to do the right thing
- 00:17:33.614 --> 00:17:36.416
- And to make upright choices.
- 00:17:36.416 --> 00:17:38.619
- It matters, and we will ultimately
- 00:17:38.619 --> 00:17:40.354
- Give an account for it.
- 00:17:40.354 --> 00:17:42.823
- Ss commented on youtube, the youtube show
- 00:17:42.823 --> 00:17:45.225
- With alex marlow. thank you again
- 00:17:45.225 --> 00:17:47.494
- For bringing people on who are speaking truth.
- 00:17:47.494 --> 00:17:50.664
- Well, i think what alex is doing is an important message
- 00:17:50.664 --> 00:17:53.600
- For our nation, and we're honore

- Shearer
- 00:17:56.870 --> 00:17:58.105
- Speirs commented on the youtube episode with roger williams.
- 00:17:58.105 --> 00:18:00.741
- We're praying for the safety
- 00:18:00.741 --> 00:18:01.909
- Of president trump and his appointees,
- 00:18:01.909 --> 00:18:03.911
- For them wanting to make the world better.
- 00:18:03.911 --> 00:18:06.213
- The only way is by prayer and the lord.
- 00:18:06.213 --> 00:18:09.516
- I agree.
- 00:18:09.783 --> 00:18:11.218
- You know, i'm grateful for the politicians
- 00:18:11.218 --> 00:18:12.986
- And the people who provide leadership,
- 00:18:12.986 --> 00:18:14.421
- And they're willing
- 00:18:14.421 --> 00:18:15.489
- To take difficult stands and do the heavy lifting
- 00:18:15.489 --> 00:18:17.891
- To try to make our nation a safer, more prosperous place,
- 00:18:17.891 --> 00:18:21.895
- To make education better for our children.
- 00:18:21.895 --> 00:18:24.298
- But at the end of the day, i believe the outcomes
- 00:18:24.298 --> 00:18:26.700
- Will be determined by people of faith
- 00:18:26.700 --> 00:18:28.835
- And what happens in our hearts and how we behave.
- 00:18:28.835 --> 00:18:31.872
- We've been willing to look through the windows
- 00:18:31.872 --> 00:18:33.207
- Of our churches for too long,
- 00:18:33.207 --> 00:18:34.508
- And hope that the other people fix the problems.
- 00:18:34.508 --> 00:18:37.077
- We're going to have to be willing to be a voice
- 00:18:37.077 --> 00:18:38.445
- For truth and light and salt in the communities where we live.
- 00:18:38.445 --> 00:18:42.516
- If we'll do that, our futures will be much safer if we don't.
- 00:18:42.516 --> 00:18:46.587
- The futures are shaky.
- 00:18:46.587 --> 00:18:48.922

- You know, i'm of the opinion
- 00:19:03.503 --> 00:19:04.738
- That we have to keep learning and we have to keep growing.

- 00:19:07.174 --> 00:19:09.209
- And the guest who are so gracious to join

- Us, will help you continue to learn and grow.
- 00:19:11.078 --> 00:19:14.848
- It's easy to just settle in and imagine that we already know
- 00:19:14.848 --> 00:19:17.584
- Everything that's important, and there's nothing really new
- 00:19:17.584 --> 00:19:20.187
- That we need to pay attention to.
- 00:19:20.187 --> 00:19:22.155
- That attitude will lead us to a better place.
- 00:19:22.155 --> 00:19:24.625
- Together, let's keep learning.
- 00:19:24.625 --> 00:19:26.093
- Let's keep growing, and we'll see what god will do.
- 00:19:26.093 --> 00:19:28.929

- 00:19:32.232 --> 00:19:33.867
- And more people watching our show each week
- 00:19:33.867 --> 00:19:37.137
- Who know truth and hope
- 00:19:37.137 --> 00:19:38.505
- Would cut through all the noise as effectively as it is.
- 00:19:38.505 --> 00:19:41.575
- I see it in the emails that we receive.
- 00:19:41.575 --> 00:19:43.844
- Those of you who write telling us
- 00:19:43.844 --> 00:19:45.245

- 00:19:45.245 --> 00:19:47.514
- Where you can trust what you hear.
- 00:19:47.514 --> 00:19:49.549
- Well, the world is certainly changing.
- 00:19:49.549 --> 00:19:51.585
- It's enough to navigate
- 00:19:51.585 --> 00:19:53.220
- Without having to navigate what's real and what's fake.
- 00:19:53.220 --> 00:19:56.256
- So let's keep going.
- 00:19:56.723 --> 00:19:57.958
- I'd like you to ask a friend
- 00:19:57.958 --> 00:19:59.259
- Or a family member to watch as well.
- 00:19:59.259 --> 00:20:01.295
- You spread the word.
- 00:20:01.295 --> 00:20:02.562
