Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Redistricting Fight | Allen Jackson Now | May 19, 2026
- Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
- 00:00:17.576 --> 00:00:19.611
- I'm alan jackson.
- 00:00:19.611 --> 00:00:20.946
- We're going to begin tonight by exploring what
- 00:00:20.946 --> 00:00:22.814
- It's going to take to win
- 00:00:22.814 --> 00:00:23.782
- Control of the house and senate this fall.
- 00:00:23.782 --> 00:00:26.551
- Democrats have been talking like victory is already at hand.
- 00:00:26.551 --> 00:00:30.222
- But several recent moves have favored the republicans.
- 00:00:30.222 --> 00:00:33.258
- At this point, no party has a lock on victory.
- 00:00:33.258 --> 00:00:36.862
- Issue number one is the economy.
- 00:00:36.862 --> 00:00:39.164
- The big budget bill did a lot to give people
- 00:00:39.164 --> 00:00:41.533
- Some of their money back with lower taxes.
- 00:00:41.533 --> 00:00:43.935
- There's no tax on tips or overtime.
- 00:00:43.935 --> 00:00:46.138
- And now the
- 00:00:46.138 --> 00:00:47.372
- President has launched project freedom, helping to guide ships,
- 00:00:47.372 --> 00:00:50.442
- Hundreds of them around the world
- 00:00:50.442 --> 00:00:52.277
- In and out of the strait of hormuz.
- 00:00:52.277 --> 00:00:54.179
- Keeping the global supply chain safe.
- 00:00:54.179 --> 00:00:56.915
- Well, gas prices, they're high,
- 00:00:56.915 --> 00:00:58.517
- But the increased trade will help everyone except iran.
- 00:00:58.517 --> 00:01:01.920
- And that's the plan.
- 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:03.688
- Issue number two illegal immigration in our
- 00:01:03.688 --> 00:01:06.057
- Personal safety.
- 00:01:06.057 --> 00:01:07.659
- Republicans passed the lincoln riley act.
- 00:01:07.659 --> 00:01:10.095
- Then, after a record 75 day shutdown by the democrats,
- 00:01:10.095 --> 00:01:13.665
- The department of homeland security has been funded again.
- 00:01:13.665 --> 00:01:16.701
- Now we live in dangerous times.
- 00:01:17.335 --> 00:01:19.070
- Yet another gunman got near the white house
- 00:01:19.070 --> 00:01:20.839
- Yesterday, the same day that a washington,
- 00:01:20.839 --> 00:01:23.241
- D.c., judge apologized to the fully armed
- 00:01:23.241 --> 00:01:26.645
- California teacher who stormed the white house
- 00:01:26.645 --> 00:01:28.747
- Correspondents dinner, saying he was sorry that the jail cell
- 00:01:28.747 --> 00:01:32.918
- They put him in was tantamount to solitary confinement.
- 00:01:32.918 --> 00:01:36.288
- His lawyers argued that the man
- 00:01:36.922 --> 00:01:38.390
- Who covered himself in weapons showed no signs of being a risk.
- 00:01:38.390 --> 00:01:42.627
- Well, i guess they hadn't seen this selfie from his hotel room
- 00:01:42.627 --> 00:01:45.730
- In november. still a long way off.
- 00:01:46.498 --> 00:01:47.999
- But if things continue the way they have been,
- 00:01:47.999 --> 00:01:50.402
- The american people will have a very clear choice
- 00:01:50.402 --> 00:01:53.071
- About who is working to make their lives better and safer,
- 00:01:53.071 --> 00:01:56.408
- And who will provide a better future for their families.
- 00:01:56.408 --> 00:01:59.444
- You know, i often say that god is moving in the earth
- 00:02:00.512 --> 00:02:03.348
- And people invariably will come up to me and ask,
- 00:02:03.348 --> 00:02:05.817
- How can you say that? i don't see god moving.
- 00:02:05.817 --> 00:02:08.420
- Well, i keep a running list of good news items,
- 00:02:08.420 --> 00:02:11.256
- And here are a few items that, as a nation,
- 00:02:11.256 --> 00:02:13.725
- I believe we should be grateful about.
- 00:02:13.725 --> 00:02:16.027
- Our borders are secure.
- 00:02:16.027 --> 00:02:17.829
- That is good news.
- 00:02:17.829 --> 00:02:19.564
- We haven't been able to say that
- 00:02:19.564 --> 00:02:20.865
- Consistently in more than a decade.
- 00:02:20.865 --> 00:02:23.168
- The previous administration
- 00:02:23.168 --> 00:02:24.502
- Merely said our border was secure,
- 00:02:24.502 --> 00:02:26.404
- And the legacy media happily passed along that narrative,
- 00:02:26.404 --> 00:02:29.407
- Which they knew to be false.
- 00:02:29.407 --> 00:02:31.309
- The media knew hundreds of thousands
- 00:02:31.309 --> 00:02:33.144
- Were crossing our border illegally every month.
- 00:02:33.144 --> 00:02:35.513
- Yet they told us
- 00:02:35.513 --> 00:02:36.581
- A porous, unsecure border was just our imagination.
- 00:02:36.581 --> 00:02:40.218
- But under our current administration,
- 00:02:40.218 --> 00:02:41.987
- Our border has been secured
- 00:02:41.987 --> 00:02:43.455
- And the invasion
- 00:02:43.455 --> 00:02:44.522
- Of illegal individuals into our country has ended.
- 00:02:44.522 --> 00:02:47.359
- Those aren't empty words.
- 00:02:47.359 --> 00:02:48.560
- We have measurable results to support that.
- 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.563
- You know, for years,
- 00:02:51.563 --> 00:02:52.697
- Billions of our tax
- 00:02:52.697 --> 00:02:53.832
- Dollars were being spent fraudulently and being stolen.
- 00:02:53.832 --> 00:02:57.168
- Well, the good news is it's been exposed and slowed to a degree
- 00:02:57.168 --> 00:03:00.572
- That hasn't been stopped.
- 00:03:00.572 --> 00:03:01.840
- But at least we have a better
- 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:03.074
- Handle of the stealing that's taking place,
- 00:03:03.074 --> 00:03:05.410
- And the administration is taking steps to address it.
- 00:03:05.410 --> 00:03:08.680
- Well, here's another good news item.
- 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:10.382
- The mutilation of our children in pursuit of trans insanity.
- 00:03:10.382 --> 00:03:13.785
- That's been slowed as well.
- 00:03:13.785 --> 00:03:15.887
- You know, it's hard to fathom the evil
- 00:03:15.887 --> 00:03:18.089
- That was perpetrated against our children.
- 00:03:18.089 --> 00:03:20.725
- Under the biden administration, federal policy, it didn't just
- 00:03:20.725 --> 00:03:23.995
- Tolerate gender mutilation procedures for minors.
- 00:03:23.995 --> 00:03:26.831
- It actively expanded access to them.
- 00:03:26.831 --> 00:03:30.135
- In 2022, president biden signed an executive order
- 00:03:30.135 --> 00:03:33.371
- To increase access to gender mutilation procedures
- 00:03:33.371 --> 00:03:36.574
- For children and to develop ways to counter efforts by states
- 00:03:36.574 --> 00:03:40.445
- That were attempting to limit these horrific procedures.
- 00:03:40.445 --> 00:03:43.682
- During the first three years of the biden administration
- 00:03:43.682 --> 00:03:45.750
- Alone, more than 7000
- 00:03:45.750 --> 00:03:47.686
- Children were administered puberty blockers
- 00:03:47.686 --> 00:03:50.121
- And over 4000 children were subjected to sex modifications
- 00:03:50.121 --> 00:03:54.025
- Surgical interventions such as mastectomies.
- 00:03:54.025 --> 00:03:57.929
- Those interventions were marketed to children.
- 00:03:57.929 --> 00:04:01.499
- You have to think about that a moment.
- 00:04:01.499 --> 00:04:02.967
- Those are irreversible decisions
- 00:04:02.967 --> 00:04:04.703
- Being made in an age where you can't vote,
- 00:04:04.703 --> 00:04:07.105
- You're not allowed to drink alcohol.
- 00:04:07.105 --> 00:04:08.540
- You can't even sign a contract.
- 00:04:08.540 --> 00:04:10.709
- But somehow these children
- 00:04:10.709 --> 00:04:12.077
- Can make life altering medical choices.
- 00:04:12.077 --> 00:04:14.779
- And when states like texas, florida and tennessee stepped in
- 00:04:14.779 --> 00:04:17.549
- And said, let's slow this down, let's protect the kids.
- 00:04:17.549 --> 00:04:20.885
- The federal government under biden
- 00:04:20.885 --> 00:04:22.520
- Pushed back hard with lawsuits and bullying tactics.
- 00:04:22.520 --> 00:04:26.758
- Well, the good news is president trump has taken steps
- 00:04:26.758 --> 00:04:29.027
- To stop this abuse.
- 00:04:29.027 --> 00:04:30.562
- Trump moved to block federal dollars
- 00:04:30.562 --> 00:04:32.731
- From supporting gender mutilating procedures
- 00:04:32.731 --> 00:04:34.666
- For minors, targeting the funding pipelines behind it.
- 00:04:34.666 --> 00:04:38.670
- Hospitals receiving federal funds.
- 00:04:38.670 --> 00:04:40.538
- They now face new conditions tied to compliance.
- 00:04:40.538 --> 00:04:43.641
- Federal agencies were directed to stop promoting these barbaric
- 00:04:43.641 --> 00:04:46.911
- Procedures for minors.
- 00:04:46.911 --> 00:04:48.613
- Here's another good news item.
- 00:04:49.214 --> 00:04:50.448
- Iran, the global sponsor of terror
- 00:04:50.448 --> 00:04:52.317
- For more than 40 years, has been humbled.
- 00:04:52.317 --> 00:04:55.286
- The outcome is not fully accomplished,
- 00:04:55.286 --> 00:04:57.021
- But terror groups like hezbollah and hamas, proxy groups
- 00:04:57.021 --> 00:05:00.658
- That have been funded and armed by iran,
- 00:05:00.658 --> 00:05:02.794
- They have forfeited most of their influence.
- 00:05:02.794 --> 00:05:05.730
- Citizens of venezuela have experienced a breath of freedom.
- 00:05:05.730 --> 00:05:09.134
- There's much yet to be done,
- 00:05:09.134 --> 00:05:10.435
- But hundreds of pastors that were imprisoned
- 00:05:10.435 --> 00:05:12.670
- Have now been released.
- 00:05:12.670 --> 00:05:14.372
- God is moving in the earth, and we have to remember that
- 00:05:14.372 --> 00:05:17.809
- It's important because if you don't remember
- 00:05:17.809 --> 00:05:19.577
- Those expressions of the power, the grace and the mercy of god,
- 00:05:19.577 --> 00:05:22.747
- Then when you bump into a fresh challenge, you're ill prepared
- 00:05:22.747 --> 00:05:25.850
- To have the confidence to say, god can deliver me.
- 00:05:25.850 --> 00:05:28.887
- Well, my advice to you is to start
- 00:05:29.654 --> 00:05:31.189
- Keeping a good news list of your own.
- 00:05:31.189 --> 00:05:33.091
- You can start in your own
- 00:05:33.091 --> 00:05:34.159
- Personal arena and just work out from there.
- 00:05:34.159 --> 00:05:37.462
- Every time you acknowledge the goodness of
- 00:05:37.462 --> 00:05:39.431
- God in your life,
- 00:05:39.431 --> 00:05:40.732
- You recalibrate one notch more fully towards the lord.
- 00:05:40.732 --> 00:05:44.169
- And among all the chaos and confusion of a busy
- 00:05:44.169 --> 00:05:46.704
- News cycle, and with the media framing the mainstream narrative
- 00:05:46.704 --> 00:05:50.108
- On what we as viewers should focus on,
- 00:05:50.108 --> 00:05:52.610
- I think it's important that we take a step back
- 00:05:52.610 --> 00:05:54.779
- And appreciate the season we're in and the opportunities ahead.
- 00:05:54.779 --> 00:05:58.883
- Well, congress is not polling well.
- 00:05:59.684 --> 00:06:01.920
- There are individual members
- 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:03.154
- Working very hard to improve this great country.
- 00:06:03.154 --> 00:06:06.157
- In a moment,
- 00:06:06.157 --> 00:06:07.292
- We'll visit with a member who is truly on your side.
- 00:06:07.292 --> 00:06:09.994
- Georgia republican buddy carter will be joining us
- 00:06:09.994 --> 00:06:13.198
- Right after this break.
- 00:06:13.198 --> 00:06:14.766
- I'll be right back.
- 00:06:14.766 --> 00:06:20.010
- I'll be right back.
- 00:06:20.010 --> 00:06:23.519
- So in any workplace, there are people who look busy
- 00:06:24.520 --> 00:06:27.590
- And there are others who really are busy.
- 00:06:27.590 --> 00:06:29.558
- You know, the look busy members of congress.
- 00:06:29.558 --> 00:06:31.627
- They show up on camera a lot, and the are busy members.
- 00:06:31.627 --> 00:06:34.830
- Well, they're the ones who have their names on the bills.
- 00:06:34.830 --> 00:06:37.700
- Well, congressman buddy carter,
- 00:06:37.700 --> 00:06:39.134
- You had a job in the real world before he went to congress.
- 00:06:39.134 --> 00:06:41.904
- He was a pharmacist
- 00:06:41.904 --> 00:06:43.172
- And he was so successful that he opened
- 00:06:43.172 --> 00:06:44.773
- Three of his own shops around georgia.
- 00:06:44.773 --> 00:06:47.409
- Welcome back to the program, congressman.
- 00:06:47.409 --> 00:06:50.079
- Well, thank you for having me.
- 00:06:50.679 --> 00:06:51.814
- Always a pleasure, alan.
- 00:06:51.814 --> 00:06:53.649
- You have a big advantage on many of the other members,
- 00:06:53.649 --> 00:06:55.885
- Given your real world experience,
- 00:06:55.885 --> 00:06:58.220
- When you got behind the budget and immigration bills,
- 00:06:58.220 --> 00:07:00.789
- It was clear that you were better connected
- 00:07:00.789 --> 00:07:02.825
- To what ordinary americans were looking for.
- 00:07:02.825 --> 00:07:05.427
- Even more so when all we hear from the democrats is
- 00:07:05.427 --> 00:07:08.063
- Stop trump.
- 00:07:08.063 --> 00:07:09.398
- How do you see the next few months playing out?
- 00:07:09.398 --> 00:07:12.968
- First of all, we've got some things
- 00:07:12.968 --> 00:07:14.303
- That we've got to do, such as funding dhs.
- 00:07:14.303 --> 00:07:17.439
- We did get partial funding of it,
- 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.708
- But now we've got to finish with the ice funding and
- 00:07:19.708 --> 00:07:22.645
- And with cbp.
- 00:07:22.645 --> 00:07:23.979
- We'll do that
- 00:07:23.979 --> 00:07:25.047
- Through reconciliation, because as you point out,
- 00:07:25.047 --> 00:07:27.116
- The democrats aren't interested in helping.
- 00:07:27.116 --> 00:07:29.051
- They're not interested in doing anything productive.
- 00:07:29.051 --> 00:07:31.720
- All they want to do is to throw bombs.
- 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:33.722
- And then what they're doing right now
- 00:07:33.722 --> 00:07:35.591
- With dhs is nothing more than an extension of the defund
- 00:07:35.591 --> 00:07:38.694
- The police that they
- 00:07:38.694 --> 00:07:39.929
- That movement that they started some years ago
- 00:07:39.929 --> 00:07:42.665
- And they don't want to fund ice.
- 00:07:42.665 --> 00:07:44.967
- Now of as i said earlier, we did get dhs partially funded,
- 00:07:44.967 --> 00:07:48.637
- But we got to finish the drill
- 00:07:48.637 --> 00:07:49.738
- And we'll do that through reconciliation.
- 00:07:49.738 --> 00:07:51.807
- That'll be very important.
- 00:07:51.807 --> 00:07:53.309
- We want to continue.
- 00:07:53.309 --> 00:07:54.176
- We got to get the appropriation process
- 00:07:54.176 --> 00:07:55.744
- Started for next fiscal year as well.
- 00:07:55.744 --> 00:07:58.113
- That's going to be important.
- 00:07:58.113 --> 00:07:59.782
- But, you know, with everything
- 00:07:59.782 --> 00:08:01.383
- That's going on
- 00:08:01.383 --> 00:08:02.418
- In the world right now, dhs, it's a top priority.
- 00:08:02.418 --> 00:08:05.521
- Well, there are new reasons for hope this week,
- 00:08:06.455 --> 00:08:08.691
- Given the supreme court decision on the voting rights act.
- 00:08:08.691 --> 00:08:11.860
- That decision alone might land republicans for extra seats.
- 00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:15.364
- Florida is also adding seats.
- 00:08:15.364 --> 00:08:17.066
- And now virginia state supreme court
- 00:08:17.066 --> 00:08:18.801
- Has ruled against their governor's
- 00:08:18.801 --> 00:08:20.469
- Attempt to write new boundaries to eliminate republicans.
- 00:08:20.469 --> 00:08:23.772
- Obama's stirred up about it all,
- 00:08:23.772 --> 00:08:25.307
- And the governor of texas had an answer for him.
- 00:08:25.307 --> 00:08:27.643
- Listen to his comments.
- 00:08:27.643 --> 00:08:29.511
- Two weeks ago, obama was applauding virginia
- 00:08:29.511 --> 00:08:33.582
- For redrawing their maps to eliminate republicans,
- 00:08:33.582 --> 00:08:36.185
- And yet he was in shock and very critical.
- 00:08:36.185 --> 00:08:38.887
- When louisiana
- 00:08:38.887 --> 00:08:40.022
- Is now going to draw its map to elect more republicans.
- 00:08:40.022 --> 00:08:43.258
- It's time for the democrats to stop being such hypocrites.
- 00:08:43.258 --> 00:08:46.862
- And finally have everybody across the country to stop
- 00:08:46.862 --> 00:08:49.865
- Using race as a reason to draw congressional lines.
- 00:08:49.865 --> 00:08:54.637
- It seems the governor has a good point, doesn't he?
- 00:08:54.637 --> 00:08:57.272
- Well, an excellent point.
- 00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:59.141
- And let me tell you, the supreme court got it right.
- 00:08:59.141 --> 00:09:02.111
- And they said that the intentional use of, of, of race
- 00:09:02.111 --> 00:09:07.082
- To discriminate against some redistricting is prohibited.
- 00:09:07.082 --> 00:09:12.154
- And that's exactly what the intent of,
- 00:09:12.154 --> 00:09:16.358
- Of the voting rights act was in the first place.
- 00:09:16.358 --> 00:09:19.561
- It had changed over the years because, you know,
- 00:09:19.561 --> 00:09:22.498
- People have changed.
- 00:09:22.498 --> 00:09:23.499
- I mean, you
- 00:09:23.499 --> 00:09:24.733
- Can't judge a person's politics by the color of their skin.
- 00:09:24.733 --> 00:09:27.736
- Doesn't matter what the color of their skin is.
- 00:09:27.736 --> 00:09:30.239
- Their politics may be different from what everyone once
- 00:09:30.239 --> 00:09:33.776
- Thought it was.
- 00:09:33.776 --> 00:09:35.010
- And certainly that's the case now
- 00:09:35.010 --> 00:09:36.845
- In the redistricting is taking place,
- 00:09:36.845 --> 00:09:39.014
- Particularly in louisiana and tennessee and florida.
- 00:09:39.014 --> 00:09:42.251
- I applaud that.
- 00:09:42.251 --> 00:09:43.585
- I've called on our governor here in georgia to stop this.
- 00:09:43.585 --> 00:09:46.989
- The house races right now,
- 00:09:46.989 --> 00:09:48.691
- Unless redistrict here in the state of georgia,
- 00:09:48.691 --> 00:09:51.160
- We could pick up perhaps two or maybe even three seats in the
- 00:09:51.160 --> 00:09:55.164
- Legislature that would reflect the values of georgians more.
- 00:09:55.164 --> 00:09:59.034
- And we need to do that.
- 00:09:59.034 --> 00:10:00.436
- They don't need to be disenfranchized
- 00:10:00.436 --> 00:10:02.237
- For the next two years by districts that were drawn
- 00:10:02.237 --> 00:10:05.708
- With the intent, purpose of, of racial discrimination.
- 00:10:05.708 --> 00:10:10.913
- And that's what they were drawn for in the previous cycle.
- 00:10:10.913 --> 00:10:15.217
- We need to do it now.
- 00:10:15.217 --> 00:10:16.885
- This could make a big difference on the political scene
- 00:10:16.885 --> 00:10:19.421
- Nationally if we pick up 2 or 3 seats in georgia.
- 00:10:19.421 --> 00:10:22.725
- It could make the difference
- 00:10:22.725 --> 00:10:23.926
- Between us being the majority in that house next session
- 00:10:23.926 --> 00:10:27.129
- Or in the minority.
- 00:10:27.129 --> 00:10:28.731
- Republicans still have an uphill climb,
- 00:10:29.598 --> 00:10:32.134
- But they're up against a party
- 00:10:32.134 --> 00:10:33.435
- That's running entirely on stop trump.
- 00:10:33.435 --> 00:10:36.505
- I can't imagine that
- 00:10:36.505 --> 00:10:37.706
- Many people in your state want higher taxes, more stealing
- 00:10:37.706 --> 00:10:40.609
- From the government, or for iran to have nuclear weapons.
- 00:10:40.609 --> 00:10:44.046
- What are you hearing?
- 00:10:44.046 --> 00:10:46.415
- Well, just just what you say.
- 00:10:46.415 --> 00:10:48.283
- You know, look,
- 00:10:48.283 --> 00:10:49.485
- They're pleased with the job that president trump is doing.
- 00:10:49.485 --> 00:10:51.987
- He promised two things during the 2024 cycle
- 00:10:51.987 --> 00:10:54.556
- That make us more prosperous. and he make us safer.
- 00:10:54.556 --> 00:10:57.392
- He's made us safer by securing that border.
- 00:10:57.392 --> 00:10:59.828
- For four years, jon ossoff
- 00:10:59.828 --> 00:11:01.463
- And the democrats supported open borders
- 00:11:01.463 --> 00:11:03.599
- That resulted in 50 million
- 00:11:03.599 --> 00:11:05.367
- Illegal immigrants coming across that border.
- 00:11:05.367 --> 00:11:07.669
- We would be naive to think that some of them
- 00:11:07.669 --> 00:11:09.738
- Were criminal, illegal immigrants. they were.
- 00:11:09.738 --> 00:11:12.007
- And those are the ones that we're after right now.
- 00:11:12.007 --> 00:11:14.143
- Those are the ones that isis tried
- 00:11:14.143 --> 00:11:15.744
- To get out of this country first.
- 00:11:15.744 --> 00:11:17.646
- We'll deal with the others later,
- 00:11:17.646 --> 00:11:19.047
- But let's get rid of those criminal,
- 00:11:19.047 --> 00:11:20.783
- Illegal immigrants first.
- 00:11:20.783 --> 00:11:22.785
- He also promised to make us prosperous.
- 00:11:22.785 --> 00:11:24.753
- And he's done that through the working families
- 00:11:24.753 --> 00:11:26.488
- Tax cut act, the one big, beautiful bill
- 00:11:26.488 --> 00:11:28.957
- That no tax on chips, no tax on overtime,
- 00:11:28.957 --> 00:11:31.293
- No tax on social security, increased child care tax credit.
- 00:11:31.293 --> 00:11:34.663
- Same georgians over $5,000 a year.
- 00:11:34.663 --> 00:11:37.633
- This president
- 00:11:37.633 --> 00:11:38.467
- And this administration and republican
- 00:11:38.467 --> 00:11:40.435
- Majority are putting more money in your pocket.
- 00:11:40.435 --> 00:11:43.772
- And that's what americans need right now.
- 00:11:43.772 --> 00:11:46.074
- Well, the supreme court is sending mixed signals
- 00:11:47.042 --> 00:11:49.378
- About the abortion pill and whether it should be
- 00:11:49.378 --> 00:11:51.246
- Available by mail or only prescribed by doctors.
- 00:11:51.246 --> 00:11:54.349
- And we already know that a significant
- 00:11:54.349 --> 00:11:56.084
- Percentage of women are suffering severe side
- 00:11:56.084 --> 00:11:58.287
- Effects from it.
- 00:11:58.287 --> 00:11:59.288
- So as someone with experience at the pharmacy,
- 00:11:59.288 --> 00:12:02.024
- What would you like to see happen with these pills?
- 00:12:02.024 --> 00:12:05.160
- Well, i'm disappointed that the supreme court
- 00:12:05.160 --> 00:12:07.563
- Has reversed their decision
- 00:12:07.563 --> 00:12:08.764
- And allowed this to be available over the through the mail.
- 00:12:08.764 --> 00:12:13.135
- Any drug that can cause death should not be available
- 00:12:13.135 --> 00:12:15.871
- Through the mail.
- 00:12:15.871 --> 00:12:16.805
- This is something that needs counseling.
- 00:12:16.805 --> 00:12:18.740
- Patients need to be counsel when you're
- 00:12:18.740 --> 00:12:20.676
- Talking about this drug.
- 00:12:20.676 --> 00:12:21.877
- Yes. there are some indications that are safe for this drug.
- 00:12:21.877 --> 00:12:25.581
- But any drug that can cause death is this drug can
- 00:12:25.581 --> 00:12:28.984
- That should be going
- 00:12:29.451 --> 00:12:30.886
- Through a pharmacy and not through the mail.
- 00:12:30.886 --> 00:12:32.788
- So i'm i'm afraid the supreme court got this one wrong.
- 00:12:32.788 --> 00:12:35.524
- I hope they reverse their decision
- 00:12:35.524 --> 00:12:37.359
- And get back to where you have to have a prescription
- 00:12:37.359 --> 00:12:40.095
- And pick it up from your local pharmacy.
- 00:12:40.095 --> 00:12:42.497
- Well, it was encouraging to see that the country's
- 00:12:43.498 --> 00:12:45.367
- Economic growth,
- 00:12:45.367 --> 00:12:46.535
- The gdp, was still at 2% in the latest government report
- 00:12:46.535 --> 00:12:49.771
- That included the first few weeks of the fight with iran.
- 00:12:49.771 --> 00:12:53.108
- The president says that even he's surprised at how
- 00:12:53.108 --> 00:12:55.744
- Strong the economy remains, even during the war with iran.
- 00:12:55.744 --> 00:12:58.747
- Is this still the number one issue for the midterms?
- 00:12:58.747 --> 00:13:02.618
- I think it is number one that in an immigration, of course.
- 00:13:02.618 --> 00:13:06.188
- But everybody, you know, the economy is always on
- 00:13:06.188 --> 00:13:09.558
- Everyone's minds.
- 00:13:09.558 --> 00:13:10.559
- And certainly it is. now look.
- 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.028
- High gas prices, high gas prices are the work of the democrats.
- 00:13:13.028 --> 00:13:16.164
- Remember, of june 2022, when gas was five and $6 a gallon.
- 00:13:16.164 --> 00:13:21.436
- Thank goodness donald trump came
- 00:13:21.436 --> 00:13:23.272
- And he unleashed american energy.
- 00:13:23.272 --> 00:13:25.173
- If he had not,
- 00:13:25.173 --> 00:13:26.275
- Then i can't imagine what gas prices would be now.
- 00:13:26.275 --> 00:13:29.144
- But he did that.
- 00:13:29.144 --> 00:13:30.312
- And yes, we've got higher gas prices have resolved
- 00:13:30.312 --> 00:13:33.181
- At the conflict in iran.
- 00:13:33.181 --> 00:13:34.483
- However, those prices are going to go down in this conflict
- 00:13:34.483 --> 00:13:38.186
- And iran will end.
- 00:13:38.186 --> 00:13:39.721
- It'll end as soon as we are comfortable, as soon as we
- 00:13:39.721 --> 00:13:42.858
- Are confident there are and will not have nuclear weapons.
- 00:13:42.858 --> 00:13:46.528
- Look, i'm a i'm blessed to be a father and a grandfather.
- 00:13:46.528 --> 00:13:49.831
- I do not want my children.
- 00:13:49.831 --> 00:13:51.400
- My grandchildren have to suffer under a leading state
- 00:13:51.400 --> 00:13:54.703
- Sponsor of terrorism, having a nuclear bomb.
- 00:13:54.703 --> 00:13:57.806
- I would submit to you
- 00:13:57.806 --> 00:13:59.074
- That this president is saving millions of lives in the future
- 00:13:59.074 --> 00:14:02.277
- By making sure that iran never has a nuclear weapon.
- 00:14:02.277 --> 00:14:06.415
- Amen.
- 00:14:06.648 --> 00:14:07.749
- Well, congressman carter,
- 00:14:07.749 --> 00:14:08.850
- We need to take a short break now.
- 00:14:08.850 --> 00:14:10.352
- Can you stand by for another segment?
- 00:14:10.352 --> 00:14:12.654
- Sure. we'll be right back.
- 00:14:12.654 --> 00:14:20.010
- Sure. we'll be right back.
- 00:14:20.010 --> 00:14:25.002
- We're back now with
- 00:14:25.469 --> 00:14:26.603
- Georgia republican congressman buddy carter.
- 00:14:26.603 --> 00:14:29.673
- The president has started project freedom.
- 00:14:29.673 --> 00:14:32.609
- It's a humanitarian effort to help get products in
- 00:14:32.609 --> 00:14:35.279
- And out of the strait of hormuz, except for iran.
- 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:38.349
- According to the treasury secretary,
- 00:14:38.349 --> 00:14:39.883
- A lot of countries ask for this temporary help.
- 00:14:39.883 --> 00:14:42.319
- Listen to what he said.
- 00:14:42.319 --> 00:14:43.354
- I can tell you, two weeks ago was imf world bank
- 00:14:43.354 --> 00:14:46.857
- Week in washington, and i had numerous countries
- 00:14:46.857 --> 00:14:50.627
- Come up to me, some of the poorest,
- 00:14:50.627 --> 00:14:51.996
- Some of the most vulnerable,
- 00:14:51.996 --> 00:14:53.364
- And ask us to do this because it's not only energy
- 00:14:53.364 --> 00:14:56.600
- That's in there, it's fertilizer, it's food transport,
- 00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:00.337
- It's lpg for the more than
- 00:15:00.904 --> 00:15:03.140
- More than the billion plus people in india used to cook.
- 00:15:03.140 --> 00:15:06.543
- So we are saying
- 00:15:06.543 --> 00:15:08.278
- The iranians do not have control of the strait.
- 00:15:08.278 --> 00:15:11.482
- Well, basit also said that
- 00:15:12.049 --> 00:15:13.650
- Gas prices will drop back down to where they had been.
- 00:15:13.650 --> 00:15:16.887
- Once things are settled in iran, which will be a big help,
- 00:15:16.887 --> 00:15:19.890
- Especially as we get closer to summer.
- 00:15:19.890 --> 00:15:22.426
- Do you imagine that is our future?
- 00:15:22.426 --> 00:15:25.763
- Let me think. that is our future.
- 00:15:25.763 --> 00:15:27.097
- And again,
- 00:15:27.097 --> 00:15:28.298
- I cannot applaud the president enough for what he's doing.
- 00:15:28.298 --> 00:15:30.968
- And this regime that for 47 years has been the leading
- 00:15:30.968 --> 00:15:35.172
- Sponsor, state sponsor of terrorism in the world.
- 00:15:35.172 --> 00:15:38.642
- They have american blood on their hands.
- 00:15:38.642 --> 00:15:40.444
- Let's not forget the uss cole.
- 00:15:40.444 --> 00:15:42.212
- Let's not forget what happened on october 7th.
- 00:15:42.212 --> 00:15:44.615
- And in israel, yes, a thousand israelites were killed,
- 00:15:44.615 --> 00:15:47.885
- But 46 americans were killed as well.
- 00:15:47.885 --> 00:15:50.454
- They have been chanting in the streets.
- 00:15:50.454 --> 00:15:52.156
- Death to america. death to israel.
- 00:15:52.156 --> 00:15:54.291
- We have to make sure that we finish this drill,
- 00:15:54.291 --> 00:15:57.694
- But make sure they're never going to have a nuclear bomb.
- 00:15:57.694 --> 00:16:00.097
- But what do you do in the strait of hormuz?
- 00:16:00.097 --> 00:16:02.399
- This is going to stabilize gas prices and or energy prices
- 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:06.670
- For years to come.
- 00:16:06.670 --> 00:16:08.072
- When it
- 00:16:08.072 --> 00:16:08.839
- When iran
- 00:16:08.839 --> 00:16:09.740
- Is not going to be able
- 00:16:09.740 --> 00:16:10.808
- To manipulate the price of oil and use it as a weapon.
- 00:16:10.808 --> 00:16:14.378
- So in the long run, this is going to
- 00:16:14.378 --> 00:16:16.280
- Make gas more accessible and more affordable.
- 00:16:16.280 --> 00:16:20.084
- And i applaud him for doing that.
- 00:16:20.084 --> 00:16:21.752
- And he is putting the squeeze on them.
- 00:16:21.752 --> 00:16:23.687
- They're losing $500 million a day when they are not able
- 00:16:23.687 --> 00:16:27.958
- To access their ports in the strait of hormuz.
- 00:16:27.958 --> 00:16:30.994
- Well, the president is making the case
- 00:16:31.795 --> 00:16:33.997
- That if what's left of iran's leadership doesn't act soon,
- 00:16:33.997 --> 00:16:37.201
- There's an indication that the people of iran
- 00:16:37.201 --> 00:16:39.269
- Are not going to sit still much longer.
- 00:16:39.269 --> 00:16:41.538
- He says that the people there
- 00:16:41.538 --> 00:16:42.573
- Just need more of their own weapons.
- 00:16:42.573 --> 00:16:44.842
- Do you think an internal uprising is in the cards?
- 00:16:44.842 --> 00:16:47.945
- I certainly hope it is.
- 00:16:48.445 --> 00:16:49.480
- And it should be.
- 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:50.581
- Yeah.
- 00:16:50.581 --> 00:16:50.914
- You know,
- 00:16:50.914 --> 00:16:51.715
- I keep hearing from iranian americans
- 00:16:51.715 --> 00:16:53.517
- Who are telling me that
- 00:16:53.517 --> 00:16:54.751
- 95% of the population over there doesn't agree with the regime,
- 00:16:54.751 --> 00:16:58.889
- And they want the regime to be gone.
- 00:16:58.889 --> 00:17:00.824
- Well, they need to get rid of them then.
- 00:17:00.824 --> 00:17:02.726
- I know, i know, it's tough.
- 00:17:02.726 --> 00:17:04.194
- I know they're intimidated. i know that they are threatened.
- 00:17:04.194 --> 00:17:06.964
- And that would be difficult for anyone.
- 00:17:06.964 --> 00:17:09.766
- But at the same time, we need that to happen.
- 00:17:09.766 --> 00:17:12.569
- And there's not going to be a better chance
- 00:17:12.569 --> 00:17:14.404
- For it to happen than there is right now.
- 00:17:14.404 --> 00:17:16.607
- They need to take advantage of this.
- 00:17:16.607 --> 00:17:18.275
- And if the regime in iran had any common sense at all,
- 00:17:18.275 --> 00:17:22.012
- They would negotiate the best deal that they can.
- 00:17:22.012 --> 00:17:24.882
- They need to understand that this president says
- 00:17:24.882 --> 00:17:27.751
- What he means and means what he says.
- 00:17:27.751 --> 00:17:30.187
- Well, before we run out of time, i want to ask
- 00:17:31.121 --> 00:17:33.056
- About the president's upcoming meeting with jinping.
- 00:17:33.056 --> 00:17:36.627
- China has been funding iran's war, buying 90% of their oil
- 00:17:36.627 --> 00:17:39.997
- And then selling them all sorts of weapons.
- 00:17:39.997 --> 00:17:42.299
- But they need the american market even more.
- 00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:45.435
- Do you think president trump will be able to get china's
- 00:17:45.435 --> 00:17:47.437
- Help driving a peace deal with iran?
- 00:17:47.437 --> 00:17:50.541
- We hope he will, and they should.
- 00:17:50.541 --> 00:17:52.376
- This is important for china.
- 00:17:52.376 --> 00:17:53.710
- A third of china's energy comes through the strait of hormuz.
- 00:17:53.710 --> 00:17:57.147
- And if that's going to be close, if we're going to continue
- 00:17:57.147 --> 00:17:59.816
- To have the problems there that we are,
- 00:17:59.816 --> 00:18:01.418
- It's going to impact the economy of china significantly.
- 00:18:01.418 --> 00:18:04.855
- It would be in
- 00:18:04.855 --> 00:18:06.089
- Their best interest to help us to negotiate a peace deal here.
- 00:18:06.089 --> 00:18:09.359
- It would be in the best interest of them, as well as the
- 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:13.063
- World, to make sure that iran never has a nuclear weapon.
- 00:18:13.063 --> 00:18:18.368
- Well, i pray that common
- 00:18:18.902 --> 00:18:20.204
- Sense makes it its way to the bargaining table.
- 00:18:20.204 --> 00:18:23.340
- Congressman carter, i thank you for your time today.
- 00:18:23.340 --> 00:18:25.943
- We hope to see you again soon.
- 00:18:25.943 --> 00:18:28.278
- Thank you.
- 00:18:28.278 --> 00:18:29.613
- In a moment, your emails.
- 00:18:29.613 --> 00:18:31.114
- We'll be right back.
- 00:18:31.114 --> 00:18:37.017
- We'll be right back.
- 00:18:37.017 --> 00:18:41.893
- If you ever missed a live episode of the program,
- 00:18:42.860 --> 00:18:45.096
- You can always go to aj now, dot com.
- 00:18:45.096 --> 00:18:47.432
- There's a full archive there of all the programs.
- 00:18:47.432 --> 00:18:49.901
- You can watch them at your leisure.
- 00:18:49.901 --> 00:18:51.069
- They're easy to share with a friend.
- 00:18:51.069 --> 00:18:53.204
- Thanks for your emails.
- 00:18:53.204 --> 00:18:54.405
- Your comments and thoughts are always helpful.
- 00:18:54.405 --> 00:18:58.009
- Michael e mailed in his book a letter to the american church.
- 00:18:58.009 --> 00:19:01.512
- Eric metaxas writes about dietrich bonhoeffer
- 00:19:01.512 --> 00:19:04.515
- And the unwillingness of the church
- 00:19:04.515 --> 00:19:05.817
- In germany to stand up to hitler.
- 00:19:05.817 --> 00:19:08.286
- Do you see similarities
- 00:19:08.286 --> 00:19:09.487
- Between the challenges faced by germany in the 1930s
- 00:19:09.487 --> 00:19:12.624
- And the turmoil growing in the united states today?
- 00:19:12.624 --> 00:19:15.560
- Well, i think the capitulation of the church
- 00:19:16.461 --> 00:19:18.363
- In germany and in europe, as many parallels
- 00:19:18.363 --> 00:19:21.132
- With our current ecclesiastical environment.
- 00:19:21.132 --> 00:19:24.869
- I think some of the parallels
- 00:19:24.869 --> 00:19:25.837
- With the nazis are just too easy to draw,
- 00:19:25.837 --> 00:19:27.705
- And we kind of dump everything into that bucket.
- 00:19:27.705 --> 00:19:29.807
- I think it's more helpful to remember that
- 00:19:29.807 --> 00:19:31.376
- It was christian europe,
- 00:19:31.376 --> 00:19:32.677
- The western civilization of christian europe that gave up
- 00:19:32.677 --> 00:19:36.881
- The jews to the final solution of the nazis.
- 00:19:36.881 --> 00:19:40.251
- That's it folks.
- 00:19:40.251 --> 00:19:41.452
- Christian europe handed over the jewish people, the jewish.
- 00:19:41.452 --> 00:19:44.022
- The hatred of the jewish people in europe
- 00:19:44.022 --> 00:19:46.124
- Is what made the holocaust possible.
- 00:19:46.124 --> 00:19:48.393
- And it's very troubling to see the hatred
- 00:19:48.393 --> 00:19:50.328
- Of the jewish people that is spreading amongst
- 00:19:50.328 --> 00:19:53.031
- Even the evangelical community in our country today.
- 00:19:53.031 --> 00:19:55.700
- Without the jewish people, we have no story, no scripture,
- 00:19:55.700 --> 00:19:59.003
- No covenants, no law, no messiah.
- 00:19:59.003 --> 00:20:01.839
- We are indebted to them.
- 00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:04.309
- Andy from massachusetts wrote, i believe rhetoric against one
- 00:20:04.309 --> 00:20:07.312
- Man who is the president of the usa should be reined in.
- 00:20:07.312 --> 00:20:10.748
- I do have a question.
- 00:20:11.249 --> 00:20:12.317
- Does obamacare cover trump derangement syndrome?
- 00:20:12.317 --> 00:20:15.820
- I don't know, and that would be a question
- 00:20:15.820 --> 00:20:18.389
- For someone smarter than i.
- 00:20:18.389 --> 00:20:20.191
- I don't think we could afford it, though.
- 00:20:20.191 --> 00:20:21.659
- If it does.
- 00:20:21.659 --> 00:20:23.594
- Kelly.
- 00:20:23.594 --> 00:20:23.995
- She emailed
- 00:20:23.995 --> 00:20:24.929
- I read an article in the hill yesterday
- 00:20:24.929 --> 00:20:26.364
- That stated someone suggested that
- 00:20:26.364 --> 00:20:27.865
- The name of the immigration and customs enforcement agency
- 00:20:27.865 --> 00:20:31.235
- Should be changed to the national immigration
- 00:20:31.235 --> 00:20:34.038
- And customs enforcement.
- 00:20:34.038 --> 00:20:35.807
- Then the media would have to call the agents
- 00:20:35.807 --> 00:20:37.675
- Nice agents when reporting along with any protesters.
- 00:20:37.675 --> 00:20:41.746
- I like the way you're thinking, kelly,
- 00:20:41.746 --> 00:20:43.181
- And i bet
- 00:20:43.181 --> 00:20:43.881
- If president trump hears that
- 00:20:43.881 --> 00:20:45.083
- There will be an executive order coming from his desk soon.
- 00:20:45.083 --> 00:20:47.752
- David a from washington says, as was stated by alan,
- 00:20:48.786 --> 00:20:52.056
- Germany is belittling our country over the iran war.
- 00:20:52.056 --> 00:20:55.460
- The us is currently 36,000 service members
- 00:20:55.460 --> 00:20:58.329
- There protecting their country.
- 00:20:58.329 --> 00:21:00.264
- Bring them home and let them fend for themselves.
- 00:21:00.264 --> 00:21:03.534
- Well,
- 00:21:03.768 --> 00:21:04.302
- I think the attitude
- 00:21:04.302 --> 00:21:04.802
- Of much of europe
- 00:21:04.802 --> 00:21:05.937
- And our nato allies has been more than disappointing.
- 00:21:05.937 --> 00:21:09.207
- I pray that we're able
- 00:21:09.207 --> 00:21:10.608
- To negotiate a change in those relationships.
- 00:21:10.608 --> 00:21:13.611
- We need their strength,
- 00:21:13.611 --> 00:21:15.513
- But we can't afford to deny their capitulation any longer.
- 00:21:15.513 --> 00:21:19.117
- The truth will bring freedom.
- 00:21:19.117 --> 00:21:21.486
- An email i recently heard you say that righteousness
- 00:21:21.486 --> 00:21:24.555
- Is standing before god without fear, shame, or sin.
- 00:21:24.555 --> 00:21:28.926
- I believe my quote is righteousness
- 00:21:28.926 --> 00:21:30.395
- Is the ability to stand before god without fear,
- 00:21:30.395 --> 00:21:32.530
- Shame, or guilt.
- 00:21:32.530 --> 00:21:34.599
- Is that correct?
- 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:35.733
- I want to be sure before i share it with our neighbors.
- 00:21:35.733 --> 00:21:37.735
- Righteousness is a gift.
- 00:21:37.735 --> 00:21:39.036
- It's made available to us
- 00:21:39.036 --> 00:21:40.338
- Because of jesus and his redemptive work.
- 00:21:40.338 --> 00:21:42.640
- We can't earn it or it wouldn't be a gift.
- 00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:44.976
- We don't qualify for it.
- 00:21:44.976 --> 00:21:46.611
- Jesus made that provision in our behalf.
- 00:21:46.611 --> 00:21:49.180
- All of us have an appointment in our future to stand
- 00:21:49.180 --> 00:21:51.516
- Before the creator of heaven and earth.
- 00:21:51.516 --> 00:21:53.418
- You'll want to be prepared for that day.
- 00:21:53.418 --> 00:21:55.720
- And the best means of preparation
- 00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:57.355
- Is getting to know a person.
- 00:21:57.355 --> 00:21:58.489
- His name is jesus of nazareth.
- 00:21:58.489 --> 00:22:00.391
- It's not about being religious or joining a church.
- 00:22:00.391 --> 00:22:02.693
- It's a change of allegiance and the authority in your life.
- 00:22:02.693 --> 00:22:06.631
- Thank you for spending a few minutes of your day with us.
- 00:22:06.631 --> 00:22:08.766
- God is moving in the earth.
- 00:22:08.766 --> 00:22:10.701
- I want to be a part, and i believe you do too.
- 00:22:10.701 --> 00:22:13.104
- Good night. god bless.
- 00:22:13.104 --> 00:22:13.104
