Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: May 28, 2025 | Allen Jackson Now | May 28, 2025
- Good evening.
- 00:00:04.596 --> 00:00:05.597
- I'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
- 00:00:05.597 --> 00:00:07.999
- The united states has
- 00:00:07.999 --> 00:00:09.167
- A tangled relationship with china at its showing.
- 00:00:09.167 --> 00:00:12.804
- We buy
- 00:00:13.004 --> 00:00:14.206
- Lots of what they produce, and they hold a lot of our debt.
- 00:00:14.206 --> 00:00:16.608
- Yet it's a codependency
- 00:00:17.109 --> 00:00:18.610
- That might be keeping things from getting worse.
- 00:00:18.610 --> 00:00:21.346
- What's behind the imbalance?
- 00:00:21.346 --> 00:00:23.448
- Well, there are 1.4 billion chinese, and the ones
- 00:00:23.448 --> 00:00:26.351
- Who work make an average of just $20 a day.
- 00:00:26.351 --> 00:00:29.421
- There's no way
- 00:00:29.754 --> 00:00:30.922
- American business or america's workers can live on that.
- 00:00:30.922 --> 00:00:34.092
- The chinese have a nearly free pass to sell
- 00:00:34.092 --> 00:00:36.661
- Whatever they want here.
- 00:00:36.661 --> 00:00:38.330
- But when it comes to us goods being sold in china,
- 00:00:38.330 --> 00:00:40.832
- There are considerable roadblocks.
- 00:00:40.832 --> 00:00:43.535
- High tariffs, regulations, excise
- 00:00:43.535 --> 00:00:46.004
- Taxes and special rules from the communist party.
- 00:00:46.004 --> 00:00:49.341
- Those are among the barriers.
- 00:00:49.341 --> 00:00:51.209
- And what?
- 00:00:51.209 --> 00:00:52.444
- The chinese don't have an actual knowledge to make their own.
- 00:00:52.444 --> 00:00:55.013
- They steal it from american companies.
- 00:00:55.013 --> 00:00:56.848
- And it's called intellectual property.
- 00:00:56.848 --> 00:00:59.751
- Well, that's the economically landscape,
- 00:00:59.751 --> 00:01:01.786
- But it's chinese investments
- 00:01:01.786 --> 00:01:03.421
- In military assets that are an even bigger threat.
- 00:01:03.421 --> 00:01:06.825
- Aircraft carriers, missiles, traditional weaponry,
- 00:01:06.825 --> 00:01:10.195
- But also cyberwar, weapons, robots and military capabilities
- 00:01:10.195 --> 00:01:13.832
- For space.
- 00:01:13.832 --> 00:01:14.766
- They're all in the pipeline.
- 00:01:14.766 --> 00:01:16.968
- So what do we need to do to both thrive and stay safe?
- 00:01:16.968 --> 00:01:21.006
- Well, for that, we're joined again by captain chuck nash.
- 00:01:21.006 --> 00:01:24.376
- Welcome back, captain nash.
- 00:01:24.376 --> 00:01:26.077
- Pleasure to be back with you, sir.
- 00:01:26.845 --> 00:01:28.813
- Tell us first how the chinese military measures up to ours.
- 00:01:28.813 --> 00:01:32.617
- If it came to a fight over taiwan, for example.
- 00:01:32.617 --> 00:01:36.922
- That's an away game for us and a home game for them.
- 00:01:37.989 --> 00:01:41.426
- So they have the distinct advantage.
- 00:01:41.426 --> 00:01:44.062
- The other thing is, well, we spent oh
- 00:01:44.062 --> 00:01:47.899
- Multiples of what they spend on defense.
- 00:01:48.733 --> 00:01:51.536
- But what they spend on defense goes further in their economy
- 00:01:51.536 --> 00:01:54.906
- Than our dollar goes in our economy.
- 00:01:54.906 --> 00:01:57.008
- Here.
- 00:01:57.008 --> 00:01:58.076
- So their shipyards, they've got 4 or 5
- 00:01:58.076 --> 00:02:01.680
- Shipyards cranking out shipping.
- 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.883
- They build more ships in a month and we build in a year.
- 00:02:04.883 --> 00:02:08.486
- And they have the capacity to rent that up.
- 00:02:08.486 --> 00:02:11.156
- So they have the world's largest navy today.
- 00:02:11.156 --> 00:02:14.459
- We gave that up.
- 00:02:14.859 --> 00:02:16.895
- So they've got that
- 00:02:16.895 --> 00:02:19.164
- And they've got their island
- 00:02:19.164 --> 00:02:20.732
- Chains that they're building out with these artificial reefs,
- 00:02:20.732 --> 00:02:23.969
- And then they're militarizing them.
- 00:02:23.969 --> 00:02:26.204
- Their neighbors are not happy with it,
- 00:02:26.204 --> 00:02:28.273
- But there's not a lot they can do.
- 00:02:28.273 --> 00:02:30.475
- So this is an an existential issue with the chinese
- 00:02:30.475 --> 00:02:37.249
- Because they realize that when they're divided as a people,
- 00:02:37.249 --> 00:02:41.486
- They're conquered from the outside. it's
- 00:02:41.486 --> 00:02:43.521
- Always been in their history for thousands of years.
- 00:02:43.521 --> 00:02:46.625
- And that's why they look at taiwan as chinese people.
- 00:02:46.625 --> 00:02:51.229
- And there's a division.
- 00:02:51.730 --> 00:02:53.698
- And as
- 00:02:53.898 --> 00:02:55.033
- A jewish friend of mine says it's a stone in my shoe.
- 00:02:55.033 --> 00:02:58.570
- It's just a constant reminder that something's not right.
- 00:02:58.570 --> 00:03:03.008
- And they're going to try to do it without going kinetic.
- 00:03:03.008 --> 00:03:08.747
- The business relationships between those on the island
- 00:03:08.747 --> 00:03:12.450
- Of taiwan, those islands and the mainland
- 00:03:12.450 --> 00:03:15.587
- Are growing every day.
- 00:03:16.054 --> 00:03:18.423
- So this i think we can stay away from the kinetic action
- 00:03:18.423 --> 00:03:23.528
- Just so long as we don't provoke action.
- 00:03:23.528 --> 00:03:27.465
- There they realized that if they try to take
- 00:03:27.465 --> 00:03:30.502
- Taiwan militarily that it will be a disaster.
- 00:03:30.502 --> 00:03:34.239
- They're going to have to cross hundreds of miles of open ocean
- 00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:37.075
- To get to those islands.
- 00:03:37.075 --> 00:03:38.743
- Now they're building out a capability
- 00:03:38.743 --> 00:03:41.713
- To prove that if they wanted to, maybe they just might.
- 00:03:41.713 --> 00:03:46.051
- And that's enough to keep us and the rest of the world
- 00:03:46.051 --> 00:03:49.087
- Off balance, because maybe they just might.
- 00:03:49.087 --> 00:03:52.524
- And then they start with, as you pointed out,
- 00:03:52.524 --> 00:03:56.227
- With the mind games, which is to the american people.
- 00:03:56.227 --> 00:04:00.198
- Can you point to taiwan on a map?
- 00:04:00.198 --> 00:04:02.634
- Are you willing to have this thing made you go nuclear?
- 00:04:02.634 --> 00:04:05.937
- You're willing to give up san francisco and los angeles?
- 00:04:05.937 --> 00:04:09.574
- I mean, what's it worth to you?
- 00:04:10.208 --> 00:04:12.210
- So it's a patience game.
- 00:04:12.210 --> 00:04:14.212
- It's a waiting game.
- 00:04:14.212 --> 00:04:16.014
- But in your lead in
- 00:04:16.014 --> 00:04:18.383
- You pointed out the economy of china.
- 00:04:18.383 --> 00:04:21.453
- Time is not on their side.
- 00:04:22.020 --> 00:04:24.222
- They went to that one child policy.
- 00:04:24.222 --> 00:04:27.025
- Their population is aging rapidly.
- 00:04:27.025 --> 00:04:29.728
- A lot of industry is moving out of china
- 00:04:29.728 --> 00:04:33.898
- And into south vietnam or to vietnam, actually,
- 00:04:33.898 --> 00:04:38.403
- And the philippines and other areas.
- 00:04:38.403 --> 00:04:41.005
- There are things called chinese dark factories.
- 00:04:41.005 --> 00:04:44.442
- Look that up on the online.
- 00:04:44.442 --> 00:04:46.911
- They're completely robotic.
- 00:04:46.911 --> 00:04:49.047
- There are no human beings that work there other than those
- 00:04:49.047 --> 00:04:52.450
- Who maintain the robots.
- 00:04:52.450 --> 00:04:54.586
- So they have an issue that's coming.
- 00:04:54.586 --> 00:04:58.523
- They have water problems,
- 00:04:58.523 --> 00:05:00.291
- Natural resource problems, vast pollution problems,
- 00:05:00.291 --> 00:05:04.028
- Because they have been bearing the brunt ecologically
- 00:05:04.028 --> 00:05:07.799
- Of the battery production for these electric vehicles.
- 00:05:07.799 --> 00:05:12.303
- Their savings rate is around 35 to 40%.
- 00:05:13.171 --> 00:05:15.940
- And they've got banks that are failing
- 00:05:15.940 --> 00:05:17.842
- And are merging all the time.
- 00:05:17.842 --> 00:05:19.511
- They've got ghost cities that they had their people invest in.
- 00:05:19.511 --> 00:05:23.581
- And now you have these cities with high rise buildings
- 00:05:23.581 --> 00:05:27.051
- And nobody living in them.
- 00:05:27.051 --> 00:05:29.521
- So that ordered economy that
- 00:05:29.521 --> 00:05:31.956
- Sometimes we look at and go, i wish we could do that.
- 00:05:31.956 --> 00:05:35.493
- None of us want to live like that.
- 00:05:35.493 --> 00:05:37.629
- So time is not on their side.
- 00:05:37.629 --> 00:05:39.731
- That makes them dangerous, but also gives the world
- 00:05:39.731 --> 00:05:42.767
- A chance and gives peace a chance.
- 00:05:42.767 --> 00:05:46.571
- Well, we keep seeing pictures of putin
- 00:05:46.571 --> 00:05:48.773
- And the chinese leader together.
- 00:05:48.773 --> 00:05:50.608
- We know that russia got help from north korea during the war.
- 00:05:50.608 --> 00:05:54.112
- Our new defense secretary says we're shifting focus
- 00:05:54.112 --> 00:05:56.881
- Right now to prepare.
- 00:05:56.881 --> 00:05:58.483
- Listen to what he said.
- 00:05:58.483 --> 00:06:00.151
- We're also in real time,
- 00:06:00.151 --> 00:06:01.719
- Shifting focus over to the indo-pacific.
- 00:06:01.719 --> 00:06:03.855
- You saw it with my first trip. you'll see it with our budgets.
- 00:06:03.855 --> 00:06:06.624
- You'll see it with future travel, with exercises,
- 00:06:06.624 --> 00:06:09.894
- With what we're meeting and talking
- 00:06:09.894 --> 00:06:11.296
- About every day at the pentagon.
- 00:06:11.296 --> 00:06:12.664
- We understand the motives,
- 00:06:12.664 --> 00:06:14.799
- The capabilities of the communist chinese.
- 00:06:15.700 --> 00:06:18.069
- And we're ensuring we build a military today
- 00:06:18.069 --> 00:06:20.171
- And going forward, capable of deterring that conflict.
- 00:06:20.171 --> 00:06:24.042
- Chuck, there doesn't seem to be any imminent threat.
- 00:06:24.042 --> 00:06:26.845
- I mean, beyond taiwan that we've talked about.
- 00:06:26.845 --> 00:06:29.013
- Am i correct? the,
- 00:06:29.013 --> 00:06:31.883
- I believe you are correct.
- 00:06:31.883 --> 00:06:33.151
- I don't think there is an imminent threat.
- 00:06:33.151 --> 00:06:34.953
- And i think this is a this is a standoff.
- 00:06:34.953 --> 00:06:39.023
- And what's the problem with standoffs is
- 00:06:39.023 --> 00:06:42.760
- The inadvertent action that leads to conflict.
- 00:06:43.661 --> 00:06:47.532
- When you have forces that are up against each other,
- 00:06:47.532 --> 00:06:50.134
- That's why maintaining the presence,
- 00:06:50.134 --> 00:06:53.438
- It is a good thing to do because you don't want to go away.
- 00:06:53.438 --> 00:06:57.442
- Then all of a sudden, you come back.
- 00:06:57.442 --> 00:06:58.776
- Now, what are they doing now?
- 00:06:58.776 --> 00:07:00.778
- Well, it's just a constant.
- 00:07:00.778 --> 00:07:03.081
- This is the way things are kind of world.
- 00:07:03.982 --> 00:07:06.651
- And that's what we need to maintain.
- 00:07:06.651 --> 00:07:10.054
- Well, captain ash, please stay with us for another segment.
- 00:07:10.054 --> 00:07:12.524
- I want to get into
- 00:07:12.524 --> 00:07:13.324
- How the chinese military programs
- 00:07:13.324 --> 00:07:14.993
- May fit in with the new world of ai,
- 00:07:14.993 --> 00:07:17.495
- And whether that will help or hurt.
- 00:07:17.495 --> 00:07:19.764
- I'll be right back.
- 00:07:19.764 --> 00:07:27.008
- I'll be right back.
- 00:07:27.008 --> 00:07:31.877
- We're back now with captain chuck nash.
- 00:07:32.678 --> 00:07:35.447
- One new item on the table.
- 00:07:35.447 --> 00:07:36.949
- President trump is asked for billions of dollars to build
- 00:07:36.949 --> 00:07:40.052
- An american version of israel's iron dome over our country,
- 00:07:40.052 --> 00:07:44.523
- And he thinks he can get it done in just three years.
- 00:07:44.523 --> 00:07:47.026
- Here's how he describes the need.
- 00:07:47.026 --> 00:07:49.361
- I promised the american people
- 00:07:49.361 --> 00:07:50.930
- That i would build a cutting edge missile defense shield
- 00:07:50.930 --> 00:07:54.099
- To protect our homeland from the threat of
- 00:07:54.099 --> 00:07:56.735
- Foreign missile attack.
- 00:07:56.735 --> 00:07:58.637
- And that's what we're doing.
- 00:07:59.238 --> 00:08:00.439
- Today, i'm pleased to announce that we have officially selected
- 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.609
- An architecture for the state of the art system
- 00:08:03.609 --> 00:08:06.545
- That will deploy next generation technologies across the land,
- 00:08:06.545 --> 00:08:10.382
- Sea and space, including space based sensors and interceptors.
- 00:08:10.382 --> 00:08:15.621
- Chuck, is the president concerned
- 00:08:16.355 --> 00:08:17.923
- About long range missiles from china,
- 00:08:17.923 --> 00:08:19.892
- As well as from russia and iran, or from ships?
- 00:08:19.892 --> 00:08:23.929
- I believe he is. and,
- 00:08:24.430 --> 00:08:27.166
- You know, pastor,
- 00:08:27.166 --> 00:08:29.001
- The technology has ramped up significantly since president
- 00:08:29.001 --> 00:08:34.273
- Reagan, presented, a proposal for his strategic defense
- 00:08:34.273 --> 00:08:39.011
- Initiative, sdi, which was labeled star wars.
- 00:08:39.011 --> 00:08:42.514
- But not by him.
- 00:08:42.881 --> 00:08:43.916
- But by his detractors.
- 00:08:43.916 --> 00:08:45.784
- But the sdi was the acknowledgment
- 00:08:45.784 --> 00:08:50.222
- That the way to really defend
- 00:08:50.222 --> 00:08:53.492
- America is not to go overseas.
- 00:08:53.492 --> 00:08:57.463
- And and with everything that that entails.
- 00:08:57.463 --> 00:09:00.432
- But maybe it's just to defend from space and
- 00:09:00.432 --> 00:09:03.836
- From ground based interceptors here in the united states.
- 00:09:03.836 --> 00:09:07.873
- So if everything goes wrong
- 00:09:07.873 --> 00:09:10.409
- And the
- 00:09:10.643 --> 00:09:12.277
- Icbms fly, we have to be able to deal with that
- 00:09:12.277 --> 00:09:16.348
- And not say, well, that problem was too hard.
- 00:09:16.348 --> 00:09:19.451
- The other problem that we need to look at
- 00:09:19.451 --> 00:09:22.287
- Is that things have gone on far beyond ballistic missiles,
- 00:09:22.287 --> 00:09:26.458
- Which have a
- 00:09:26.458 --> 00:09:27.559
- Ballistic trajectory and therefore are predictable
- 00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:30.729
- To intercept, even though they're going very fast.
- 00:09:30.729 --> 00:09:33.832
- We now in the world where we have hypersonic
- 00:09:33.832 --> 00:09:36.402
- Weapons, hypersonics or even mach five plus,
- 00:09:36.402 --> 00:09:41.473
- But they don't fly a ballistic profile.
- 00:09:41.473 --> 00:09:44.510
- So they're much, much, much more difficult to intercept.
- 00:09:44.510 --> 00:09:47.746
- So that's why
- 00:09:48.113 --> 00:09:49.782
- We need things
- 00:09:49.782 --> 00:09:51.016
- Like directed energy weapons as well as physical interceptors
- 00:09:51.016 --> 00:09:54.720
- To get close and either explode or
- 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.523
- Or go metal to metal in a contact.
- 00:09:57.523 --> 00:10:00.359
- So technology is improving.
- 00:10:00.359 --> 00:10:02.795
- A.i. will help us with that, and hopefully
- 00:10:02.795 --> 00:10:06.598
- We'll be able to beat this thing down.
- 00:10:06.598 --> 00:10:09.835
- The russians and the chinese are saying, if you do this,
- 00:10:09.835 --> 00:10:13.706
- What you're doing is you're walking away
- 00:10:13.706 --> 00:10:16.275
- From mutually assured,
- 00:10:16.275 --> 00:10:17.710
- Assured destruction, which is what has kept the lid
- 00:10:17.710 --> 00:10:21.480
- On the nuclear holocaust, because it would
- 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:25.317
- Be like if russia launched.
- 00:10:25.317 --> 00:10:27.186
- We're going to see it and we're going to counter launch.
- 00:10:28.287 --> 00:10:31.156
- Whoa!
- 00:10:31.156 --> 00:10:32.291
- Well, that almost happened a couple times by accident
- 00:10:32.291 --> 00:10:34.793
- In the last 50 years.
- 00:10:34.793 --> 00:10:36.628
- So the defense
- 00:10:36.628 --> 00:10:39.865
- Idea is, well, wait a minute.
- 00:10:39.865 --> 00:10:41.867
- If you get this golden dome and you can protect yourself,
- 00:10:41.867 --> 00:10:46.205
- There's no longer mutually assured destruction
- 00:10:46.205 --> 00:10:48.474
- Because you don't have to worry about it.
- 00:10:48.474 --> 00:10:50.309
- But we do.
- 00:10:50.309 --> 00:10:51.744
- So they're going to try to play that.
- 00:10:51.744 --> 00:10:53.979
- And they will work with the political left
- 00:10:53.979 --> 00:10:55.948
- In this country to try to talk this down.
- 00:10:55.948 --> 00:10:58.517
- Just like they did with president reagan.
- 00:10:58.517 --> 00:11:01.086
- What do you think about the president's timeline
- 00:11:01.086 --> 00:11:03.255
- For three years to construct and implement this golden dome?
- 00:11:03.255 --> 00:11:06.125
- Is that realistic?
- 00:11:06.125 --> 00:11:08.627
- I think that might be a stretch, but i think we could have
- 00:11:08.627 --> 00:11:12.030
- A rudimentary system in place to deal with certain threats.
- 00:11:12.030 --> 00:11:18.003
- So we just have to start taking
- 00:11:18.003 --> 00:11:20.506
- The threats off the table as we go.
- 00:11:20.506 --> 00:11:23.509
- And of course, he's not going to be able to get the full
- 00:11:23.509 --> 00:11:27.312
- Funding to do everything in three years as well.
- 00:11:27.312 --> 00:11:31.116
- So there's a lot of technology that we have yet
- 00:11:31.116 --> 00:11:34.253
- To exploit that will become available.
- 00:11:34.253 --> 00:11:38.123
- But then you have to integrate that,
- 00:11:38.123 --> 00:11:40.392
- And we're going to have to integrate new with new,
- 00:11:40.392 --> 00:11:44.163
- Not like we're facing right now with the
- 00:11:44.163 --> 00:11:47.065
- Federal administration, the federal aviation
- 00:11:47.065 --> 00:11:49.368
- Administration, where we have these outages in newark
- 00:11:49.368 --> 00:11:52.538
- And denver and other places where we've tried to couple
- 00:11:52.538 --> 00:11:57.042
- New technology with old technology
- 00:11:57.042 --> 00:12:00.145
- That that's a hard thing to do.
- 00:12:00.779 --> 00:12:03.882
- So we have to go new with new, which means the golden dome
- 00:12:03.882 --> 00:12:08.287
- Would be all new technology integrated for the next,
- 00:12:08.287 --> 00:12:12.491
- The next 50 years.
- 00:12:12.925 --> 00:12:14.760
- Not try to take old technology and make it work.
- 00:12:14.760 --> 00:12:18.931
- You know, captain, you're an accomplished naval aviator.
- 00:12:20.032 --> 00:12:23.302
- So you understand about fighting wars in the sky.
- 00:12:23.302 --> 00:12:25.671
- But it seems like with space force,
- 00:12:25.671 --> 00:12:28.207
- Space is not just the next frontier. now.
- 00:12:28.207 --> 00:12:30.309
- It's an essential part of our national security
- 00:12:30.309 --> 00:12:33.679
- And has to change how
- 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:34.880
- We think about who we are and how we protect ourselves.
- 00:12:34.880 --> 00:12:38.083
- How's the military doing with adding that new layer?
- 00:12:38.083 --> 00:12:40.285
- I know president trump
- 00:12:40.285 --> 00:12:41.453
- Initiated the space force, but it still seems pretty new.
- 00:12:41.453 --> 00:12:44.156
- Well, the satellite programs that were in existence
- 00:12:45.157 --> 00:12:48.527
- When i was read into them, back in the day
- 00:12:48.527 --> 00:12:51.864
- Were pretty phenomenal.
- 00:12:51.864 --> 00:12:54.633
- So i can only imagine what we have now.
- 00:12:54.633 --> 00:12:57.970
- I'm sure that we have
- 00:12:58.470 --> 00:13:00.572
- Full global, constant surveillance.
- 00:13:00.572 --> 00:13:03.742
- At this point, we probably also have sensors
- 00:13:04.643 --> 00:13:08.413
- That can pick up, launches far,
- 00:13:08.413 --> 00:13:11.950
- Beyond what we could out of the mountain.
- 00:13:11.950 --> 00:13:15.287
- Back in the day.
- 00:13:15.687 --> 00:13:17.055
- But even then, we could see missile launches.
- 00:13:17.055 --> 00:13:21.093
- So today that we can probably see a lot more.
- 00:13:22.027 --> 00:13:26.732
- So, staying ahead of that program.
- 00:13:26.732 --> 00:13:30.002
- Yeah, that's going to it's going to take money.
- 00:13:30.002 --> 00:13:32.337
- But again, what happens
- 00:13:32.337 --> 00:13:35.173
- In the secret programs we call black programs?
- 00:13:35.173 --> 00:13:38.377
- Only those who are red in really no.
- 00:13:39.144 --> 00:13:42.214
- And i'm not ridin anymore.
- 00:13:42.781 --> 00:13:45.951
- One last question.
- 00:13:46.385 --> 00:13:47.819
- I'm sure that the pentagon
- 00:13:47.819 --> 00:13:48.987
- Is thinking through what might happen
- 00:13:48.987 --> 00:13:50.622
- When you put together a force of robotic weaponry
- 00:13:50.622 --> 00:13:52.991
- And let it run on ai driven autonomy.
- 00:13:52.991 --> 00:13:55.794
- It's pretty scary to consider, especially if the ai
- 00:13:55.794 --> 00:13:58.597
- Is programed by communist thinking.
- 00:13:58.597 --> 00:14:01.900
- That seems like a bizarre new world we're facing.
- 00:14:01.900 --> 00:14:05.871
- It really is.
- 00:14:06.238 --> 00:14:07.306
- And the inventor of the ai,
- 00:14:07.306 --> 00:14:11.643
- It is nobel
- 00:14:11.977 --> 00:14:14.079
- Laureate, his nobel
- 00:14:14.079 --> 00:14:16.048
- Acceptance speech cautioned, the world
- 00:14:16.048 --> 00:14:19.618
- In the scientific community about ai.
- 00:14:19.618 --> 00:14:22.921
- And that is what futurists predicted,
- 00:14:22.921 --> 00:14:25.991
- Oh, 15 years ago, which would be
- 00:14:26.625 --> 00:14:29.928
- When the computers could reprogram themselves.
- 00:14:29.928 --> 00:14:33.131
- And there have been instances already where,
- 00:14:34.032 --> 00:14:38.337
- Computer engineers were trying
- 00:14:38.937 --> 00:14:40.872
- To update an ai system,
- 00:14:40.872 --> 00:14:43.976
- And the system realized that it was being updated.
- 00:14:43.976 --> 00:14:47.479
- So it made a copy of itself
- 00:14:47.479 --> 00:14:50.382
- And inserted it into the program
- 00:14:50.382 --> 00:14:53.452
- So that it wouldn't it wouldn't be changed.
- 00:14:53.452 --> 00:14:55.821
- It wouldn't die.
- 00:14:55.821 --> 00:14:57.889
- So these things, we have to be careful,
- 00:14:57.889 --> 00:15:00.926
- Because this is going to be as powerful
- 00:15:00.926 --> 00:15:04.496
- For human beings as electricity.
- 00:15:04.496 --> 00:15:08.233
- It's it's it's going to be absolutely phenomenal.
- 00:15:08.233 --> 00:15:10.902
- And if we don't keep control of it and it unleashes itself,
- 00:15:10.902 --> 00:15:16.875
- Who knows what could happen.
- 00:15:17.476 --> 00:15:19.411
- These are dangerous times.
- 00:15:19.411 --> 00:15:21.847
- Well thank you, captain nash, for your wisdom.
- 00:15:21.847 --> 00:15:24.249
- We hope to see you again very soon.
- 00:15:24.249 --> 00:15:27.552
- I look forward.
- 00:15:27.552 --> 00:15:29.287
- And when i come back, some thoughts of my own
- 00:15:29.287 --> 00:15:31.256
- About moving forward.
- 00:15:31.256 --> 00:15:32.758
- Knowing what we know now.
- 00:15:32.758 --> 00:15:41.003
- Knowing what we know now.
- 00:15:41.003 --> 00:15:45.204
- Well, for several years, china has had free rein
- 00:15:46.172 --> 00:15:48.641
- To patrol the globe and try to assert their will.
- 00:15:48.641 --> 00:15:52.178
- The chinese government is communist,
- 00:15:52.178 --> 00:15:53.913
- Authoritarian, domineering.
- 00:15:53.913 --> 00:15:56.015
- They practice slavery, social control and manipulation.
- 00:15:56.015 --> 00:16:00.086
- They oppose free speech.
- 00:16:00.086 --> 00:16:01.854
- And that spirit has been unleashed on our world.
- 00:16:01.854 --> 00:16:05.324
- We are witnesses to this spirit, gaining influence
- 00:16:05.324 --> 00:16:08.761
- On a global basis and the united states.
- 00:16:08.761 --> 00:16:11.597
- We've shown very little will to thwart it until now.
- 00:16:11.597 --> 00:16:14.734
- I'm grateful for the change
- 00:16:15.334 --> 00:16:16.602
- We're seeing under our current administration.
- 00:16:16.602 --> 00:16:18.838
- The u.s.
- 00:16:18.838 --> 00:16:19.839
- Has stopped capitulating to chinese ambition,
- 00:16:19.839 --> 00:16:22.108
- And that is good news for all of us.
- 00:16:22.108 --> 00:16:24.911
- Now, some will undoubtedly say, you're a pastor.
- 00:16:24.911 --> 00:16:27.013
- Why do you care?
- 00:16:27.013 --> 00:16:28.581
- Well, for more than 100 years, communism has been on display
- 00:16:28.581 --> 00:16:31.451
- In our world,
- 00:16:31.451 --> 00:16:32.518
- And every place it's gained the primary authority.
- 00:16:32.518 --> 00:16:35.188
- One of the first things it has done is imprisoned
- 00:16:35.188 --> 00:16:37.323
- The leading voices in the churches
- 00:16:37.323 --> 00:16:39.092
- And diminished opportunities for the gospel.
- 00:16:39.092 --> 00:16:41.861
- So it should matter to every christ follower.
- 00:16:41.861 --> 00:16:44.530
- Communism is not just another economic system.
- 00:16:44.530 --> 00:16:47.200
- It's one of the most destructive,
- 00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:48.668
- Murderous expressions of human authority in history,
- 00:16:48.668 --> 00:16:52.338
- And it's resulted in horrific suffering.
- 00:16:52.338 --> 00:16:55.408
- When there have been rises of authoritarianism in the past,
- 00:16:55.408 --> 00:16:58.411
- There was usually a force that would rise up against it.
- 00:16:58.411 --> 00:17:01.414
- And that force wasn't political.
- 00:17:01.414 --> 00:17:02.982
- Primarily, it was spiritual.
- 00:17:02.982 --> 00:17:05.618
- Unfortunately, we have forfeited on a very personal level
- 00:17:05.618 --> 00:17:08.921
- Our willingness to address truth.
- 00:17:08.921 --> 00:17:11.157
- We've said, you know, we'll just go along and get along.
- 00:17:11.157 --> 00:17:13.993
- And that attitude
- 00:17:13.993 --> 00:17:15.161
- Makes us very easily cowed to authoritarian influences.
- 00:17:15.161 --> 00:17:18.731
- We don't want to be ostracized.
- 00:17:18.731 --> 00:17:20.233
- We don't want to be identified as being judgmental.
- 00:17:20.233 --> 00:17:23.002
- We as christ followers,
- 00:17:23.503 --> 00:17:24.904
- Must be the voice of truth in this season of cultural change.
- 00:17:24.904 --> 00:17:28.674
- And i encourage you to start in your homes
- 00:17:28.674 --> 00:17:31.144
- With your loved ones.
- 00:17:31.144 --> 00:17:32.478
- Start to think in terms of your sphere of influence,
- 00:17:32.478 --> 00:17:35.314
- The people that you interact with.
- 00:17:35.314 --> 00:17:37.283
- If we'll do that, i assure you there are more reasons for hope
- 00:17:37.283 --> 00:17:40.586
- Than despair.
- 00:17:40.586 --> 00:17:41.854
- We'll be back with your emails in just a moment.
- 00:17:41.854 --> 00:17:51.009
- We'll be back with your emails in just a moment.
- 00:17:51.009 --> 00:17:56.570
- We appreciate you taking the time to send us
- 00:17:57.504 --> 00:17:59.373
- Your emails, your thoughts and opinions.
- 00:17:59.373 --> 00:18:01.208
- They matter to us.
- 00:18:01.208 --> 00:18:02.943
- Just a quick reminder.
- 00:18:02.943 --> 00:18:03.944
- If you miss a program, you can always go to aj.
- 00:18:03.944 --> 00:18:06.113
- Now.com. they're all archived there.
- 00:18:06.113 --> 00:18:08.582
- You can see them at your leisure.
- 00:18:08.582 --> 00:18:10.217
- You can also sign up for our free newsletter
- 00:18:10.217 --> 00:18:12.052
- And keep up with all that's happening around the program.
- 00:18:12.052 --> 00:18:14.588
- And most importantly, share it with a friend.
- 00:18:14.588 --> 00:18:16.823
- Let them know of what you've learned.
- 00:18:16.823 --> 00:18:18.825
- We'll help spread the truth.
- 00:18:18.825 --> 00:18:20.627
- If you are on youtube
- 00:18:21.128 --> 00:18:22.763
- With the episode from senator cramer wrote on the subject
- 00:18:22.763 --> 00:18:25.499
- Of overtime, my neighbor once told me that the government
- 00:18:25.499 --> 00:18:28.702
- Gets the time and i get the half.
- 00:18:28.702 --> 00:18:31.838
- Oh, i understand.
- 00:18:31.838 --> 00:18:34.174
- I hope the new budget bill that's making it work
- 00:18:34.174 --> 00:18:36.577
- Your way through
- 00:18:36.577 --> 00:18:37.844
- Congress will help a bit with some of those simple adjustments
- 00:18:37.844 --> 00:18:40.914
- To how the irs sees our resources.
- 00:18:40.914 --> 00:18:44.051
- Sandy earle emailed.
- 00:18:44.518 --> 00:18:45.752
- The democrats seem to have trump hatred for hatred sake.
- 00:18:45.752 --> 00:18:49.256
- It's as irrational as anti-semitism.
- 00:18:49.256 --> 00:18:51.892
- What about america and americans?
- 00:18:51.892 --> 00:18:53.694
- Their own constituents
- 00:18:53.694 --> 00:18:54.728
- Are not even being fairly represented
- 00:18:54.728 --> 00:18:56.430
- And they should be voted out of office.
- 00:18:56.430 --> 00:18:58.732
- We love your programs and feel as though god
- 00:18:58.732 --> 00:19:00.500
- Has lifted up your voice for a reason, for such a time as this.
- 00:19:00.500 --> 00:19:04.638
- Well, i think the hatred for trump and anti-semitism,
- 00:19:04.638 --> 00:19:07.674
- The underlying forces behind that, really aren't political
- 00:19:07.674 --> 00:19:10.811
- Or international.
- 00:19:10.811 --> 00:19:11.578
- I believe they're spiritual,
- 00:19:11.578 --> 00:19:13.413
- And i believe that's why those of us with people of faith
- 00:19:13.413 --> 00:19:16.016
- Have such an important role
- 00:19:16.016 --> 00:19:17.484
- To play in helping to stem that tide.
- 00:19:17.484 --> 00:19:20.120
- If we'll be involved and use our voices,
- 00:19:20.120 --> 00:19:22.489
- I think god will respond.
- 00:19:22.489 --> 00:19:24.291
- Yolanda, from burlington, wisconsin said, we love the alan
- 00:19:25.425 --> 00:19:28.629
- Jackson now program and alan jackson ministries.
- 00:19:28.629 --> 00:19:31.632
- They're my go
- 00:19:31.632 --> 00:19:32.833
- Tos for information and to hear about our lord and savior.
- 00:19:32.833 --> 00:19:36.203
- I want to thank you and your family
- 00:19:36.203 --> 00:19:37.537
- And staff for all that you're doing.
- 00:19:37.537 --> 00:19:39.473
- Praying for all of you and may god bless you all.
- 00:19:39.473 --> 00:19:42.009
- I love you all.
- 00:19:42.009 --> 00:19:43.744
- Well, yolanda, thank you for your kind words.
- 00:19:43.744 --> 00:19:45.612
- This is very much a team effort.
- 00:19:45.612 --> 00:19:48.048
- It takes many people,
- 00:19:48.048 --> 00:19:49.516
- Clever people, hardworking people to make this possible.
- 00:19:49.516 --> 00:19:52.753
- And without your engagement and you being a part of it,
- 00:19:52.753 --> 00:19:55.522
- And you sharing the news about the program, none of it works.
- 00:19:55.522 --> 00:19:59.393
- So let's work together and spread the news,
- 00:19:59.393 --> 00:20:01.762
- And we'll help tell the truth more broadly, and we will see
- 00:20:01.762 --> 00:20:04.464
- God bless america again.
- 00:20:04.464 --> 00:20:07.701
- I'm alan jackson, and you have a wonderful evening.
- 00:20:07.701 --> 00:20:07.701
