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 22, 225 | Allen Jackson | May 22, 2025
- Good evening.
- 00:00:04.896 --> 00:00:05.897
- I'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
- 00:00:05.897 --> 00:00:08.133
- What? to begin with some good news.
- 00:00:08.133 --> 00:00:10.168
- America's global leadership is being recognized again.
- 00:00:10.168 --> 00:00:14.139
- But with that, there are some big issues
- 00:00:14.139 --> 00:00:15.941
- That need to be settled.
- 00:00:15.941 --> 00:00:17.442
- For one,
- 00:00:17.442 --> 00:00:18.677
- Russia and ukraine are behaving as though they're in a fight
- 00:00:18.677 --> 00:00:21.146
- To the finish.
- 00:00:21.146 --> 00:00:22.614
- If an end of the war is not found,
- 00:00:22.614 --> 00:00:24.082
- Zelenskyy will eventually run out of people to fight the war
- 00:00:24.082 --> 00:00:27.519
- And putin will get what he wants.
- 00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.688
- India and pakistan have squared off this year
- 00:00:29.688 --> 00:00:32.390
- And nuclear weapons are a part of that equation.
- 00:00:32.390 --> 00:00:35.393
- Then there's china, which may be willing
- 00:00:35.393 --> 00:00:37.596
- To talk about a tariff deal,
- 00:00:37.596 --> 00:00:39.331
- But they're never going to stop building up their military.
- 00:00:39.331 --> 00:00:42.300
- The chinese navy now has 400 ships.
- 00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:45.537
- And while hamas and hezbollah have been crippled,
- 00:00:45.537 --> 00:00:48.607
- Isis is making a comeback in syria and afghanistan.
- 00:00:48.607 --> 00:00:52.344
- And so is terrorism aimed at the jewish people.
- 00:00:52.344 --> 00:00:55.847
- With all of that, i'd like to bring in our chief
- 00:00:55.847 --> 00:00:58.016
- National security and military analyst, captain chuck nash.
- 00:00:58.016 --> 00:01:01.820
- Welcome back. captain.
- 00:01:01.820 --> 00:01:03.688
- A pleasure to be with you, pastor.
- 00:01:03.688 --> 00:01:05.724
- Let's start with the continued attacks on israel.
- 00:01:05.724 --> 00:01:08.627
- The iran backed houthi has fired
- 00:01:08.627 --> 00:01:10.428
- Two more long range missiles at downtown tel aviv this week.
- 00:01:10.428 --> 00:01:14.065
- Fortunately, they were intercepted
- 00:01:14.065 --> 00:01:15.467
- Before they hit anyone.
- 00:01:15.467 --> 00:01:17.135
- How do we resolve these random attacks of terror from the
- 00:01:17.135 --> 00:01:20.172
- Houthis?
- 00:01:20.172 --> 00:01:22.274
- They're going to have
- 00:01:22.774 --> 00:01:23.708
- To realize that they're in a losing battle.
- 00:01:23.708 --> 00:01:26.545
- The iranians are going to have to realize that supporting them
- 00:01:26.545 --> 00:01:29.915
- Just extends their vulnerability.
- 00:01:29.915 --> 00:01:31.883
- Even more.
- 00:01:31.883 --> 00:01:33.518
- We've had recent reports that either one confirmed
- 00:01:33.518 --> 00:01:37.355
- That the israelis are preparing a strike on iran.
- 00:01:37.355 --> 00:01:40.692
- So, these activities just hastened,
- 00:01:41.426 --> 00:01:46.131
- A kinetic action against the iranians.
- 00:01:46.965 --> 00:01:49.634
- So i think what really needs to happen is the iranians,
- 00:01:49.634 --> 00:01:53.238
- As the sponsors of these, need to back them off.
- 00:01:53.238 --> 00:01:57.342
- There seems to be some chatter.
- 00:01:57.976 --> 00:01:59.177
- I keep hearing that if israel were to attack iran, that
- 00:01:59.177 --> 00:02:02.247
- That spirals into some larger global conflict.
- 00:02:02.247 --> 00:02:05.750
- Do you share that fear? it very well could.
- 00:02:05.750 --> 00:02:09.020
- One of the things that i think
- 00:02:09.020 --> 00:02:10.222
- The iranians would do almost immediately is,
- 00:02:10.222 --> 00:02:13.625
- Attempt to, mine the strait of hormuz.
- 00:02:13.625 --> 00:02:16.928
- Which would shut off, saudi oil,
- 00:02:17.562 --> 00:02:20.899
- Coming out of the gulf and,
- 00:02:20.899 --> 00:02:23.235
- Also oil out of, the uae. so,
- 00:02:23.235 --> 00:02:28.173
- That would
- 00:02:28.473 --> 00:02:29.374
- Certainly send a shock to the markets.
- 00:02:29.374 --> 00:02:32.110
- But also what would happen is the iranians, i believe, have
- 00:02:32.110 --> 00:02:36.281
- Cells, sleeper cells, the spread throughout the western world,
- 00:02:36.281 --> 00:02:41.186
- And they would be activated, should kinetic activity start?
- 00:02:41.186 --> 00:02:45.857
- I'm pretty sure that.
- 00:02:45.857 --> 00:02:48.226
- The conflict in the middle east had an expression
- 00:02:48.226 --> 00:02:50.228
- A little closer to home.
- 00:02:50.228 --> 00:02:51.896
- Last night, there was a very tragic double murder.
- 00:02:51.896 --> 00:02:54.432
- A young couple,
- 00:02:54.432 --> 00:02:55.367
- Both of whom worked for the israeli
- 00:02:55.367 --> 00:02:56.635
- Embassy in washington, were shot and killed
- 00:02:56.635 --> 00:02:59.137
- While they were visiting a jewish museum.
- 00:02:59.137 --> 00:03:01.539
- Even more tragic, because they were about
- 00:03:01.539 --> 00:03:03.041
- To start their life together by getting engaged.
- 00:03:03.041 --> 00:03:05.977
- Well, the israeli prime minister said it was the result
- 00:03:05.977 --> 00:03:08.380
- Of the wild incitement against the state of israel.
- 00:03:08.380 --> 00:03:11.650
- You know, chuck, he's surely referring
- 00:03:12.484 --> 00:03:13.818
- To american campuses, columbia university among them,
- 00:03:13.818 --> 00:03:16.955
- Where jewish hate
- 00:03:16.955 --> 00:03:17.856
- Has been allowed to take place
- 00:03:17.856 --> 00:03:19.224
- Despite the threat to jewish students.
- 00:03:19.224 --> 00:03:21.626
- How do we deal with this growing anti-semitism here at home?
- 00:03:21.626 --> 00:03:25.797
- We enforce our laws,
- 00:03:26.264 --> 00:03:28.667
- And expel those who refuse to live by them.
- 00:03:28.667 --> 00:03:32.203
- Coming here as a foreign student,
- 00:03:32.203 --> 00:03:35.006
- Is is a is a privilege.
- 00:03:35.006 --> 00:03:37.642
- And we allow that.
- 00:03:37.642 --> 00:03:39.978
- Because we're a we're a welcoming people.
- 00:03:39.978 --> 00:03:43.481
- However, for those who will not abide by our laws,
- 00:03:43.481 --> 00:03:47.986
- Not just foreign students, but u.s.
- 00:03:47.986 --> 00:03:50.789
- Born students, u.s.
- 00:03:50.789 --> 00:03:51.990
- Citizens, they've fallen into this trap.
- 00:03:51.990 --> 00:03:55.427
- And what's happened here?
- 00:03:55.427 --> 00:03:56.928
- I think we have the confluence and the joining rather,
- 00:03:56.928 --> 00:04:00.565
- Of the american political left
- 00:04:00.565 --> 00:04:04.102
- And the radical,
- 00:04:04.502 --> 00:04:06.671
- Islamic, activists.
- 00:04:06.671 --> 00:04:09.541
- And they share a common enemy, which is western culture,
- 00:04:09.541 --> 00:04:13.378
- Specifically u.s., culture.
- 00:04:13.378 --> 00:04:16.548
- And so they teamed up together
- 00:04:17.148 --> 00:04:20.652
- In this unholy alliance.
- 00:04:20.652 --> 00:04:22.921
- And, it's going to take enforcement of our laws
- 00:04:22.921 --> 00:04:26.658
- And not just turning a blind eye
- 00:04:26.658 --> 00:04:28.226
- Because other just young students.
- 00:04:28.226 --> 00:04:29.928
- No, no, you break the law. you pay the price.
- 00:04:29.928 --> 00:04:33.932
- Well, actually,
- 00:04:34.299 --> 00:04:35.100
- There's one more component to that
- 00:04:35.100 --> 00:04:36.201
- Unholy alliance, and it's our academic institutions.
- 00:04:36.201 --> 00:04:40.372
- They seem all too willing to push that leftist
- 00:04:40.372 --> 00:04:42.807
- Propaganda and the anti-israel, anti-semitic hate.
- 00:04:42.807 --> 00:04:46.544
- Am i misreading that?
- 00:04:46.544 --> 00:04:48.346
- No, not at all.
- 00:04:48.346 --> 00:04:49.447
- And one has to wonder how much of that is influenced
- 00:04:49.447 --> 00:04:53.218
- By the tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars
- 00:04:53.218 --> 00:04:57.822
- That some countries have poured into to create,
- 00:04:57.822 --> 00:05:01.960
- Islam study centers and things like that
- 00:05:01.960 --> 00:05:04.662
- In religious,
- 00:05:04.662 --> 00:05:07.932
- University, just like georgetown, and others.
- 00:05:07.932 --> 00:05:11.002
- So it's, kind of a widespread seeding of capital
- 00:05:11.002 --> 00:05:15.273
- Into these things, which then
- 00:05:15.273 --> 00:05:18.109
- I think tends to influence their decision making.
- 00:05:18.109 --> 00:05:21.346
- One more question on israel.
- 00:05:21.946 --> 00:05:23.748
- President trump was able to negotiate
- 00:05:23.748 --> 00:05:25.583
- The release of the last american hostage.
- 00:05:25.583 --> 00:05:27.952
- But do you think israel will be able to free their citizens?
- 00:05:27.952 --> 00:05:30.288
- There's only 21 of them believed to still be alive.
- 00:05:30.288 --> 00:05:33.258
- And if not, i'm curious from your military perspective,
- 00:05:33.258 --> 00:05:36.428
- Why is it israel been able to rescue them?
- 00:05:36.428 --> 00:05:39.764
- Well, if you look at some of the videos
- 00:05:40.565 --> 00:05:42.834
- That that have come out of gaza, it's mostly rubble.
- 00:05:42.834 --> 00:05:47.005
- And if you take that rubble
- 00:05:47.605 --> 00:05:50.275
- And you realize that underneath it is an entire labyrinth
- 00:05:50.275 --> 00:05:53.678
- Of tunnels, the whole network has been built
- 00:05:53.678 --> 00:05:56.714
- Down there, miles and miles and miles of tunnels.
- 00:05:56.714 --> 00:06:00.018
- And and staging areas and things like that.
- 00:06:00.018 --> 00:06:02.954
- So how many of those hostages are still alive?
- 00:06:02.954 --> 00:06:06.524
- I don't know, but, in fact, nobody knows.
- 00:06:06.524 --> 00:06:10.295
- I don't even think hamas knows, what?
- 00:06:10.295 --> 00:06:13.198
- They're what they're sitting on
- 00:06:13.198 --> 00:06:14.399
- Because their leadership is getting wiped out.
- 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.635
- I saw a report earlier today where the israelis believe
- 00:06:17.635 --> 00:06:21.573
- That they killed, suha, mohammed sinwar, who was the brother
- 00:06:21.573 --> 00:06:25.844
- Of your son in law, who was killed previously.
- 00:06:25.844 --> 00:06:29.214
- And his brother mohammed took over the reins of hamas.
- 00:06:29.214 --> 00:06:32.750
- Well, the israelis now think, based on intelligence
- 00:06:32.750 --> 00:06:36.588
- And forensics, that maybe they killed mohammed.
- 00:06:36.588 --> 00:06:40.291
- Sinwar.
- 00:06:40.525 --> 00:06:41.926
- Earlier this month. so
- 00:06:41.926 --> 00:06:44.963
- Who knows?
- 00:06:45.263 --> 00:06:46.631
- I'm sure that they can't communicate
- 00:06:46.631 --> 00:06:48.933
- Other than with runners passing notes,
- 00:06:48.933 --> 00:06:52.170
- Because any
- 00:06:52.170 --> 00:06:53.338
- Electronic communication would be immediately intercepted
- 00:06:53.338 --> 00:06:55.940
- By the israelis. so,
- 00:06:55.940 --> 00:06:59.177
- They're back to caveman days, and they're living in caves
- 00:06:59.177 --> 00:07:02.247
- Where they're manmade and they're tunnels.
- 00:07:02.247 --> 00:07:05.884
- Well, let's move to russia and ukraine.
- 00:07:05.884 --> 00:07:08.386
- Well, attempts have been made to get a cease fire.
- 00:07:08.386 --> 00:07:10.722
- It looks as though
- 00:07:10.722 --> 00:07:11.956
- Nothing will get done until president trump works it out.
- 00:07:11.956 --> 00:07:14.659
- And the president sounds determined
- 00:07:14.659 --> 00:07:16.394
- To stop the killing, as he said repeatedly.
- 00:07:16.394 --> 00:07:18.863
- Listen to what he said.
- 00:07:18.863 --> 00:07:20.365
- We have to get that thing solved.
- 00:07:20.365 --> 00:07:22.200
- 5000 young people every single week, on average.
- 00:07:22.200 --> 00:07:26.871
- Five.
- 00:07:26.871 --> 00:07:27.672
- And i've seen satellite pictures.
- 00:07:27.672 --> 00:07:29.207
- You don't want to see these pictures.
- 00:07:29.207 --> 00:07:31.543
- We'll have to see what happens.
- 00:07:31.543 --> 00:07:34.178
- Chuck, putin and zelensky don't seem to care
- 00:07:34.178 --> 00:07:36.347
- As much about the death toll as president trump does.
- 00:07:36.347 --> 00:07:38.816
- How can that be?
- 00:07:38.816 --> 00:07:41.052
- Well,
- 00:07:41.286 --> 00:07:43.488
- Pastor, they're dancing with the devil.
- 00:07:43.488 --> 00:07:45.990
- And you know,
- 00:07:45.990 --> 00:07:48.993
- They're in a deathmatch,
- 00:07:48.993 --> 00:07:51.229
- And it's really sad.
- 00:07:51.229 --> 00:07:52.630
- And the president is absolutely spot on.
- 00:07:52.630 --> 00:07:55.366
- They're just grinding up a generation of young men.
- 00:07:55.366 --> 00:07:59.737
- And that doesn't count the civilian casualties.
- 00:07:59.737 --> 00:08:02.941
- And then when you add on top of that all of the destruction,
- 00:08:02.941 --> 00:08:06.444
- It will take billions of dollars to rebuild.
- 00:08:06.444 --> 00:08:09.881
- Those cities, they're they're nothing but a bunch of castles
- 00:08:11.049 --> 00:08:13.985
- Spread all over eastern and northeastern ukraine.
- 00:08:13.985 --> 00:08:18.256
- So i think the president is going to be
- 00:08:18.256 --> 00:08:21.826
- The one who finally brokered the deal.
- 00:08:21.826 --> 00:08:25.196
- But zelensky is saying it started in, in,
- 00:08:25.196 --> 00:08:30.335
- In the crimea.
- 00:08:30.668 --> 00:08:31.903
- It's going to end in the crimea,
- 00:08:31.903 --> 00:08:33.304
- Meaning i'm not giving up the crimea.
- 00:08:33.304 --> 00:08:35.139
- I want it back.
- 00:08:35.139 --> 00:08:36.174
- That is not going to happen under any stretch
- 00:08:36.174 --> 00:08:38.977
- Of the imagination.
- 00:08:38.977 --> 00:08:40.244
- And the russians are not going to give up a lot of the land
- 00:08:40.244 --> 00:08:45.149
- That they took with and paid for in blood and treasure.
- 00:08:45.149 --> 00:08:48.586
- They're not going to give it up.
- 00:08:48.586 --> 00:08:50.121
- So zelensky has to realize
- 00:08:50.121 --> 00:08:52.890
- That he gave up and
- 00:08:53.358 --> 00:08:55.159
- Lost about 20% of his country.
- 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.529
- And putin is going to have to realize
- 00:08:59.330 --> 00:09:01.499
- That he's going to have to knock this thing off.
- 00:09:01.499 --> 00:09:03.968
- He's not going to get what he wants, which is the overthrow
- 00:09:03.968 --> 00:09:07.438
- And therefore control of the ukraine.
- 00:09:07.438 --> 00:09:09.841
- He doesn't want to have to manage it himself.
- 00:09:09.841 --> 00:09:12.243
- He just wants a friendly government in there.
- 00:09:12.243 --> 00:09:14.345
- What he's going to get is part of the donbas, the crimea.
- 00:09:14.345 --> 00:09:18.549
- A cease.
- 00:09:18.816 --> 00:09:20.551
- Zelensky will stay in power until the next election,
- 00:09:20.551 --> 00:09:23.855
- And there won't be any nato troops put in.
- 00:09:23.855 --> 00:09:27.458
- Or nato, the membership for ukraine,
- 00:09:27.458 --> 00:09:30.928
- Maybe peacekeepers, but not nato membership.
- 00:09:30.928 --> 00:09:33.798
- And i think we're going to have to settle for that
- 00:09:33.798 --> 00:09:37.068
- As a minimum.
- 00:09:37.068 --> 00:09:39.037
- Well, captain ash, please stay with us for another segment.
- 00:09:39.037 --> 00:09:41.606
- In a moment, we'll talk about what
- 00:09:41.606 --> 00:09:42.907
- Putin was unable to accomplish
- 00:09:42.907 --> 00:09:45.109
- And what it says about the state of the russian military.
- 00:09:45.109 --> 00:09:47.578
- And after that, some thoughts of my own and all of this.
- 00:09:47.578 --> 00:09:50.314
- We'll be right back.
- 00:09:50.314 --> 00:09:58.006
- We'll be right back.
- 00:09:58.006 --> 00:10:02.262
- We're back now with captain chuck nash,
- 00:10:03.096 --> 00:10:05.498
- A man with a career full of many military accomplishments.
- 00:10:05.498 --> 00:10:09.102
- Speaking for all of our viewers.
- 00:10:09.102 --> 00:10:10.570
- Thank you, captain nash,
- 00:10:10.570 --> 00:10:11.738
- For your great service to our country.
- 00:10:11.738 --> 00:10:15.041
- My pleasure. bastard.
- 00:10:15.041 --> 00:10:16.209
- And this memorial day weekend, i was thinking that, you know,
- 00:10:16.209 --> 00:10:19.946
- Sometimes people
- 00:10:19.946 --> 00:10:21.381
- That don't understand the meaning of these things.
- 00:10:21.381 --> 00:10:24.184
- And one of them is that in armed forces day,
- 00:10:24.184 --> 00:10:26.786
- We celebrate and thank those who are wearing the uniform.
- 00:10:26.786 --> 00:10:31.024
- And when veterans day, we thank those who used to wear
- 00:10:31.024 --> 00:10:34.994
- The uniform and took it off.
- 00:10:34.994 --> 00:10:36.362
- And in memorial day, we honor the memory of those
- 00:10:36.362 --> 00:10:39.065
- Who never got the chance to take off the uniform.
- 00:10:39.065 --> 00:10:42.736
- Amen.
- 00:10:42.969 --> 00:10:44.537
- Well, let's get back to russia.
- 00:10:44.537 --> 00:10:46.172
- When putin invaded ukraine,
- 00:10:46.172 --> 00:10:48.041
- It was believed that he wasn't going to stop
- 00:10:48.041 --> 00:10:49.843
- Until he took the capital of kiev.
- 00:10:49.843 --> 00:10:51.878
- But as tanks got stuck in the mud
- 00:10:51.878 --> 00:10:53.413
- And his supply chain failed and he failed,
- 00:10:53.413 --> 00:10:56.449
- At least in terms of his initial goal.
- 00:10:56.449 --> 00:10:58.718
- What does that tell you about his military
- 00:10:58.718 --> 00:11:00.854
- And his strategic decisions going forward?
- 00:11:00.854 --> 00:11:04.457
- The russian military
- 00:11:04.924 --> 00:11:06.659
- Is just absolutely riddled with corruption.
- 00:11:06.659 --> 00:11:10.897
- And when it came time to take a force
- 00:11:11.698 --> 00:11:15.368
- That he thought he had in being and actually employ it,
- 00:11:15.368 --> 00:11:19.572
- You realized the tires were second rate
- 00:11:19.572 --> 00:11:22.709
- And coming off vehicles, they the tanks were breaking down.
- 00:11:22.709 --> 00:11:26.846
- They couldn't supply the fuel to the tanks to keep them moving.
- 00:11:26.846 --> 00:11:31.217
- They bottled up on the road
- 00:11:31.217 --> 00:11:33.119
- And we all saw the the results of that,
- 00:11:33.119 --> 00:11:36.990
- Where the drones would go out and just start whacking.
- 00:11:36.990 --> 00:11:40.960
- All of that, that armor and and destroying it.
- 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:44.898
- Well, several years later,
- 00:11:44.898 --> 00:11:48.001
- They've learned the lesson.
- 00:11:48.001 --> 00:11:50.036
- They're getting resupplied with ammunition from north korea.
- 00:11:50.036 --> 00:11:53.473
- China is assisting them.
- 00:11:54.007 --> 00:11:56.209
- They are rebuilding their infrastructure,
- 00:11:56.209 --> 00:11:57.977
- Their military structure.
- 00:11:57.977 --> 00:11:59.913
- And they will probably emerge militarily stronger
- 00:11:59.913 --> 00:12:05.018
- Than when they went in, because it will be an actually a
- 00:12:05.018 --> 00:12:08.188
- Fighting military.
- 00:12:08.188 --> 00:12:09.856
- The only problem is
- 00:12:10.323 --> 00:12:11.691
- They've chewed up a generation.
- 00:12:11.691 --> 00:12:15.228
- So even though they have
- 00:12:15.228 --> 00:12:17.297
- Far more men than does ukraine,
- 00:12:17.297 --> 00:12:21.034
- It doesn't matter, because those who are fit
- 00:12:21.034 --> 00:12:24.070
- And able to fight that percentage of their men,
- 00:12:24.070 --> 00:12:28.007
- Many of them have been, unfortunately,
- 00:12:28.775 --> 00:12:31.711
- To the president's words, wasted and killed.
- 00:12:31.711 --> 00:12:35.548
- As you mentioned along the way, putin has gotten ammunition
- 00:12:36.716 --> 00:12:40.053
- From north korea, but he's actually
- 00:12:40.053 --> 00:12:41.554
- Also gotten troops from there.
- 00:12:41.554 --> 00:12:43.623
- So i wonder if whatever peace deal is hopefully accomplished.
- 00:12:43.623 --> 00:12:47.126
- You think this might just be a holding pattern
- 00:12:47.126 --> 00:12:49.028
- Until he's able to rebuild
- 00:12:49.028 --> 00:12:50.263
- More completely this broken military?
- 00:12:50.263 --> 00:12:52.131
- You've spoken to?
- 00:12:52.131 --> 00:12:53.099
- It's, but there's a lot of work to be done.
- 00:12:53.099 --> 00:12:54.734
- It seems.
- 00:12:54.734 --> 00:12:57.070
- I think i think really, that this will be the end of it
- 00:12:57.070 --> 00:13:00.406
- For russia, that as far as, this type of warfare.
- 00:13:00.406 --> 00:13:04.611
- Now, will they continue to work, sarah,
- 00:13:04.611 --> 00:13:08.314
- Tenaciously behind the scenes?
- 00:13:08.314 --> 00:13:10.049
- Will they continue clandestine operations?
- 00:13:10.049 --> 00:13:13.620
- Yes, absolutely.
- 00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:14.888
- They will try to influence the politics of the west.
- 00:13:14.888 --> 00:13:18.258
- But if you look at that west and you look at
- 00:13:18.258 --> 00:13:20.426
- What is on this western border, it's
- 00:13:21.194 --> 00:13:24.197
- Nato countries and nato is a shell.
- 00:13:24.197 --> 00:13:27.800
- It's been underinvested in.
- 00:13:28.401 --> 00:13:30.236
- Most of the members have not been putting
- 00:13:30.236 --> 00:13:32.906
- In their 2% of gdp investment.
- 00:13:32.906 --> 00:13:35.975
- The german army, the bundesliga.
- 00:13:36.609 --> 00:13:38.778
- They couldn't field an army for more than two weeks.
- 00:13:38.778 --> 00:13:41.881
- And if you recall when what i call hillary's war,
- 00:13:41.881 --> 00:13:46.552
- When we joined the eu and went down into,
- 00:13:46.552 --> 00:13:49.889
- Libya, the eu ran out of ammunition
- 00:13:50.623 --> 00:13:54.527
- After three days and the united states
- 00:13:54.527 --> 00:13:56.529
- Had to supply the intelligence,
- 00:13:56.529 --> 00:13:58.564
- Surveillance, reconnaissance and a lot of the ammunition.
- 00:13:58.564 --> 00:14:02.001
- Well, we've been sending a lot of ammunition to ukraine.
- 00:14:02.001 --> 00:14:06.406
- Our stockpiles are low,
- 00:14:06.406 --> 00:14:08.341
- And we've been firing half million dollar missiles
- 00:14:08.341 --> 00:14:10.910
- At $20,000.
- 00:14:10.910 --> 00:14:12.045
- Drones launched by the.
- 00:14:12.045 --> 00:14:14.681
- So there's going to have to be a reconciliation here
- 00:14:14.681 --> 00:14:19.252
- Where we look at the books, look at the store,
- 00:14:19.252 --> 00:14:21.621
- The stockpiles and see what we've got.
- 00:14:21.621 --> 00:14:24.657
- And our stuff is very exquisite.
- 00:14:24.657 --> 00:14:28.461
- Therefore,
- 00:14:28.761 --> 00:14:29.696
- You can't just be the arsenal of democracy.
- 00:14:29.696 --> 00:14:32.332
- Turn on the factories and crank this stuff out.
- 00:14:32.332 --> 00:14:35.134
- It requires thousands of parts and all you
- 00:14:35.134 --> 00:14:37.870
- All you have to do is have one part
- 00:14:37.870 --> 00:14:41.074
- In the supply chain missing, and the whole weapon is useless.
- 00:14:41.074 --> 00:14:44.610
- It's not the weapon.
- 00:14:45.078 --> 00:14:46.279
- It's just a bunch of parts waiting for that key element.
- 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:49.215
- So, the president
- 00:14:49.215 --> 00:14:51.818
- Has been absolutely insistent
- 00:14:51.818 --> 00:14:54.487
- On bringing capabilities back to the united states
- 00:14:54.487 --> 00:14:57.991
- So that we are no longer dependent on foreign nations.
- 00:14:57.991 --> 00:15:01.794
- That's going to be a tough job.
- 00:15:01.794 --> 00:15:03.229
- It's going to take a while.
- 00:15:03.229 --> 00:15:04.897
- But the first things first
- 00:15:04.897 --> 00:15:07.934
- Are the defense industry and pharmaceuticals,
- 00:15:07.934 --> 00:15:11.637
- Because we need to be able to to provide the defense
- 00:15:11.637 --> 00:15:15.274
- And to handle, epidemics
- 00:15:15.274 --> 00:15:18.678
- And, and other things that require, a robust,
- 00:15:18.678 --> 00:15:22.415
- Pharmaceutical industry.
- 00:15:22.949 --> 00:15:25.518
- Well, captain ash, thank you for your time today.
- 00:15:25.518 --> 00:15:28.554
- Will you be able to stay for another program
- 00:15:28.554 --> 00:15:30.390
- So we could cover some more of the topics
- 00:15:30.390 --> 00:15:32.225
- That are pushing us into the news?
- 00:15:32.225 --> 00:15:34.360
- I'd be very happy to. great.
- 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.729
- Well, next up, my thoughts on
- 00:15:36.729 --> 00:15:38.097
- What the rest of us can do to help.
- 00:15:38.097 --> 00:15:39.465
- It's not just a pentagon issue.
- 00:15:39.465 --> 00:15:41.801
- I'll be right back.
- 00:15:41.801 --> 00:15:50.003
- I'll be right back.
- 00:15:50.003 --> 00:15:54.214
- When the ukraine war first began.
- 00:15:54.948 --> 00:15:57.017
- For weeks,
- 00:15:57.017 --> 00:15:57.584
- I was on zoom
- 00:15:57.584 --> 00:15:58.452
- Calls on a regular basis with leaders
- 00:15:58.452 --> 00:16:00.287
- In the christian community of ukraine.
- 00:16:00.287 --> 00:16:02.456
- It was tragic to hear the stories.
- 00:16:02.456 --> 00:16:04.224
- The civilian populations being targeted,
- 00:16:04.224 --> 00:16:06.460
- The apartment buildings
- 00:16:06.460 --> 00:16:07.428
- That were being decimated by rocket fire.
- 00:16:07.428 --> 00:16:09.963
- We bought vans. we sent food and clothing.
- 00:16:09.963 --> 00:16:12.433
- We were doing whatever we could
- 00:16:12.433 --> 00:16:13.634
- To provide support and resources
- 00:16:13.634 --> 00:16:15.369
- For the people that were trapped in that horrific conflict.
- 00:16:15.369 --> 00:16:19.339
- Unfortunately, it seems the leadership
- 00:16:19.339 --> 00:16:20.908
- Of russia and the leadership of ukraine,
- 00:16:20.908 --> 00:16:23.610
- Not in a rush to bring an end to that war
- 00:16:23.610 --> 00:16:25.612
- That has cost more than a million lives.
- 00:16:25.612 --> 00:16:28.182
- It's as if human life is expendable.
- 00:16:28.182 --> 00:16:30.084
- Just another number.
- 00:16:30.084 --> 00:16:31.952
- Well, i'm thankful for the grown up voices that are saying
- 00:16:31.952 --> 00:16:34.922
- We have to bring a resolution
- 00:16:34.922 --> 00:16:36.290
- To that conflict, because life is indeed precious.
- 00:16:36.290 --> 00:16:40.260
- Well, i want to remind you that this monday is memorial day.
- 00:16:40.260 --> 00:16:43.964
- And while many will be participating in barbecues
- 00:16:43.964 --> 00:16:46.700
- And enjoying an extra day off from work,
- 00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:49.136
- Let's not forget the solemn reason for this holiday
- 00:16:49.136 --> 00:16:52.172
- To honor the people who gave their lives to protect ours.
- 00:16:52.172 --> 00:16:55.709
- Since the american revolution, more than 1.3
- 00:16:55.709 --> 00:16:58.345
- Million americans have died protecting our freedoms.
- 00:16:58.345 --> 00:17:02.249
- Let this memorial day be one of reflection and reverence
- 00:17:02.249 --> 00:17:05.352
- As we honor those brave soldiers.
- 00:17:05.352 --> 00:17:07.121
- Men and women who didn't seek their own interest
- 00:17:07.121 --> 00:17:09.857
- But instead sacrificed their lives to protect ours.
- 00:17:09.857 --> 00:17:13.360
- Over this holiday weekend.
- 00:17:13.360 --> 00:17:14.895
- Take time to stop your normal daily activities to remember
- 00:17:14.895 --> 00:17:18.465
- Those who gave their lives so that we could have normal days.
- 00:17:18.465 --> 00:17:22.870
- Let's also honor their sacrifice by considering
- 00:17:22.870 --> 00:17:25.139
- What would be said of us.
- 00:17:25.139 --> 00:17:27.141
- Are we willing to endure hardship
- 00:17:27.141 --> 00:17:28.775
- And even loss to protect the freedoms
- 00:17:28.775 --> 00:17:30.344
- Of our children and grandchildren?
- 00:17:30.344 --> 00:17:32.379
- If we want to see our communities change, we use.
- 00:17:32.379 --> 00:17:34.982
- The church must have the courage to raise our voices
- 00:17:34.982 --> 00:17:37.451
- In a new way, even at the risk of persecution.
- 00:17:37.451 --> 00:17:40.921
- Let's show the boldness of the people of god and faith.
- 00:17:40.921 --> 00:17:44.091
- It's not unique to our generation.
- 00:17:44.091 --> 00:17:46.260
- You know, it's one thing to serve the lord with it.
- 00:17:46.260 --> 00:17:47.861
- Bring smiles and gratitude.
- 00:17:47.861 --> 00:17:49.229
- It's something altogether different
- 00:17:49.229 --> 00:17:50.831
- When it brings anger and resentment.
- 00:17:50.831 --> 00:17:53.300
- If we'll choose to honor god,
- 00:17:53.300 --> 00:17:54.968
- I promise there's more reasons for hope than despair.
- 00:17:54.968 --> 00:17:58.605

- On all that's happening around our program
- 00:18:28.669 --> 00:18:31.171
- And maybe most importantly, share the idea with a friend.
- 00:18:31.171 --> 00:18:34.007

- Thanks for your emails are always a highlight.
- 00:18:37.544 --> 00:18:40.047
- Ruth from california noted your new show and weekly
- 00:18:40.047 --> 00:18:42.549
- Ministries are wonderful.
- 00:18:42.549 --> 00:18:43.584
- They bless me to know more about
- 00:18:43.584 --> 00:18:44.985
- God's character than i ever knew.
- 00:18:44.985 --> 00:18:47.087
- But here's a question for you.
- 00:18:47.087 --> 00:18:48.288
- Why don't the european countries that constantly
- 00:18:48.288 --> 00:18:50.324
- Complain about israel not giving the palestinians aid
- 00:18:50.324 --> 00:18:53.393
- Know that every bit of food or medical aid
- 00:18:53.393 --> 00:18:55.329
- Is taken by hamas, or that hamas doesn't give those items
- 00:18:55.329 --> 00:18:57.998
- To the palestinian people or to the hostages either?
- 00:18:57.998 --> 00:19:02.069
- I don't think it's a lack of awareness.
- 00:19:02.069 --> 00:19:03.804
- I think it's a lack of concern.
- 00:19:03.804 --> 00:19:05.939
- It's politically expedient to keep the that
- 00:19:05.939 --> 00:19:09.409
- Palestinian topic one of agitation against israel.
- 00:19:09.409 --> 00:19:13.280
- We'll have to have a hard change
- 00:19:13.280 --> 00:19:14.448
- Before we get to a political change.
- 00:19:14.448 --> 00:19:16.550
- Robin, email.
- 00:19:16.917 --> 00:19:17.951
- Can you put more of the culture
- 00:19:17.951 --> 00:19:19.286
- And christianity podcast shows on fridays?
- 00:19:19.286 --> 00:19:22.189
- I like the one you had on.
- 00:19:22.189 --> 00:19:23.457
- It was really good.
- 00:19:23.457 --> 00:19:24.858
- Well, robin, we'll see what we can do.
- 00:19:24.858 --> 00:19:26.960
- Thanks for the suggestion.
- 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:29.029
- And finally, a viewer
- 00:19:29.029 --> 00:19:30.130
- Commented on the youtube episode with pete peterson.
- 00:19:30.130 --> 00:19:33.300
- I love this broadcast.
- 00:19:33.300 --> 00:19:34.668
- I'm in agreement with you,
- 00:19:34.668 --> 00:19:35.869
- But this also gives me understanding
- 00:19:35.869 --> 00:19:37.504
- And insight on what i don't know.
- 00:19:37.504 --> 00:19:39.673
- Thank you for your guest
- 00:19:39.673 --> 00:19:40.774
- And the wisdom of the
- 00:19:40.774 --> 00:19:41.742
- Holy spirit which guides you so you can give
- 00:19:41.742 --> 00:19:43.510
- What we need to learn about now and what god has in store.
- 00:19:43.510 --> 00:19:46.880
- Bless you.
- 00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:48.515
- Well, thank you for the encouragement
- 00:19:48.515 --> 00:19:49.983
- And i agree.
- 00:19:49.983 --> 00:19:50.884
- I learned from our guests every program.
- 00:19:50.884 --> 00:19:53.153
- I seem to go away from the program
- 00:19:53.153 --> 00:19:54.488
- Feeling like i've been to school.
- 00:19:54.488 --> 00:19:56.323
- I hope you have that same feeling.
- 00:19:56.323 --> 00:19:58.759
- Then.
- 00:19:58.759 --> 00:19:59.293
- Kathy, im from florida
- 00:19:59.293 --> 00:20:00.394
- And we love this program and your sunday teachings.
- 00:20:00.394 --> 00:20:02.729
- You remind us that there's more reason for hope than despair.
- 00:20:02.729 --> 00:20:05.365
- We need the daily encouragement of those words
- 00:20:05.365 --> 00:20:07.234
- From a pastor who really believes this.
- 00:20:07.234 --> 00:20:09.636
- Well, i'm grateful for the opportunity,
- 00:20:09.636 --> 00:20:11.171
- But you could use your words
- 00:20:11.171 --> 00:20:12.939
- To be a voice of encouragement to the people around you.
- 00:20:12.939 --> 00:20:15.442
- And that way we can pay it forward.
- 00:20:15.442 --> 00:20:18.045
- Thank you for watching tonight.
- 00:20:18.045 --> 00:20:19.813
- I'm alan jackson, and i pray you have a wonderful evening.
- 00:20:19.813 --> 00:20:19.813
