Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: SAVE America Act | Allen Jackson NOW | June 30, 2026
  • Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:00:18.243 --> 00:00:20.378
  • I'm alan jackson.
  • 00:00:20.378 --> 00:00:21.780
  • One of the
  • 00:00:21.780 --> 00:00:23.014
  • Defining issues of this decade has been the southern border.
  • 00:00:23.014 --> 00:00:26.118
  • It has become a test of whether america
  • 00:00:26.118 --> 00:00:27.919
  • Still believes that a sovereign nation has the right to decide
  • 00:00:27.919 --> 00:00:31.389
  • Who enters its borders, under what conditions they may stay,
  • 00:00:31.389 --> 00:00:34.526
  • And whether the laws passed will actually be enforced.
  • 00:00:34.526 --> 00:00:38.230
  • But during the biden administration,
  • 00:00:38.230 --> 00:00:39.531
  • Millions of people entered this country illegally.
  • 00:00:39.531 --> 00:00:41.967
  • While many americans watched washington appear
  • 00:00:41.967 --> 00:00:44.102
  • More committed to accommodating
  • 00:00:44.102 --> 00:00:45.604
  • Illegal immigration than stopping it.
  • 00:00:45.604 --> 00:00:48.473
  • Well, that didn't happen by accident.
  • 00:00:48.473 --> 00:00:49.941
  • Instead of requiring many migrants
  • 00:00:49.941 --> 00:00:51.676
  • To wait outside the united states
  • 00:00:51.676 --> 00:00:53.411
  • While their asylum claims were processed,
  • 00:00:53.411 --> 00:00:55.747
  • The biden administration allowed migrants to enter the country
  • 00:00:55.747 --> 00:00:58.683
  • First and resolve their cases later.
  • 00:00:58.683 --> 00:01:01.786
  • Well, that decision sent a message
  • 00:01:01.786 --> 00:01:03.188
  • Around the world that america's border was effectively open
  • 00:01:03.188 --> 00:01:07.192
  • And one of its most significant immigration rulings in years.
  • 00:01:07.192 --> 00:01:10.428
  • The supreme court ruled
  • 00:01:10.428 --> 00:01:11.663
  • Against president trump's effort to end birthright citizenship.
  • 00:01:11.663 --> 00:01:15.066
  • Striking down the president's executive order.
  • 00:01:15.066 --> 00:01:17.836
  • According to pew research, about 1 in 9 babies
  • 00:01:17.836 --> 00:01:20.805
  • Born each year in the united states
  • 00:01:20.805 --> 00:01:23.141
  • Is born to parents who are either undocumented
  • 00:01:23.141 --> 00:01:25.544
  • Or have no legal immigration status.
  • 00:01:25.544 --> 00:01:28.413
  • The center for immigration studies estimates 225,000
  • 00:01:28.413 --> 00:01:31.049
  • To 250,000 births to illegal immigrants occurred in 2023.
  • 00:01:31.049 --> 00:01:36.521
  • That was the last time the survey was conducted.
  • 00:01:36.521 --> 00:01:39.357
  • In a separate case,
  • 00:01:39.357 --> 00:01:40.258
  • The supreme court ruled
  • 00:01:40.258 --> 00:01:41.426
  • That migrants waiting on the mexican side of our border,
  • 00:01:41.426 --> 00:01:44.529
  • They're not legally inside the united states
  • 00:01:44.529 --> 00:01:46.765
  • And therefore cannot claim legal protections
  • 00:01:46.765 --> 00:01:48.767
  • Reserved for those already present in the country.
  • 00:01:48.767 --> 00:01:51.369
  • Well, the judicial and legislative
  • 00:01:52.137 --> 00:01:53.505
  • Branches of government never understand
  • 00:01:53.505 --> 00:01:55.807
  • The basic principle that illegal immigration
  • 00:01:55.807 --> 00:01:58.243
  • And illegal immigration are not the same thing.
  • 00:01:58.243 --> 00:02:01.379
  • And what will it take to restore
  • 00:02:01.379 --> 00:02:02.614
  • The confidence of the american people
  • 00:02:02.614 --> 00:02:04.416
  • That the united states is once again
  • 00:02:04.416 --> 00:02:06.117
  • Putting the interest of its own citizens first?
  • 00:02:06.117 --> 00:02:09.487
  • No. our nation is a unique
  • 00:02:10.055 --> 00:02:11.356
  • Experiment in human civilization.
  • 00:02:11.356 --> 00:02:13.291
  • There's never been anything quite like it.
  • 00:02:13.291 --> 00:02:15.193
  • But that experiment came under attack
  • 00:02:15.193 --> 00:02:17.128
  • During the biden administration.
  • 00:02:17.128 --> 00:02:18.797
  • We witnessed an intentional dismantling of boundaries
  • 00:02:18.797 --> 00:02:21.866
  • And borders.
  • 00:02:21.866 --> 00:02:23.068
  • It was all wrapped in a great deal of language
  • 00:02:23.068 --> 00:02:25.203
  • That suggests that an open border
  • 00:02:25.203 --> 00:02:26.705
  • Is the ultimate expression of compassion.
  • 00:02:26.705 --> 00:02:29.407
  • And unfortunately, too many churches picked up that mantra.
  • 00:02:29.407 --> 00:02:32.877
  • I don't think what we witnessed was compassion at all.
  • 00:02:32.877 --> 00:02:36.081
  • I'd like to remind you that anything that begins with
  • 00:02:36.081 --> 00:02:38.250
  • Illegal does not typically lead to a good outcome.
  • 00:02:38.250 --> 00:02:42.087
  • The changes that an open border has already made in
  • 00:02:42.087 --> 00:02:44.756
  • Our country are staggering.
  • 00:02:44.756 --> 00:02:46.791
  • Our health care system has fundamentally changed.
  • 00:02:46.791 --> 00:02:49.761
  • The emergency rooms don't provide the same function
  • 00:02:49.761 --> 00:02:51.796
  • They did a decade ago,
  • 00:02:51.796 --> 00:02:53.265
  • And that's changed primarily
  • 00:02:53.265 --> 00:02:54.799
  • To accommodate the tens of millions of people
  • 00:02:54.799 --> 00:02:56.668
  • Who are here without citizenship.
  • 00:02:56.668 --> 00:02:58.903
  • We can't live in complete defiance of the law and imagine
  • 00:02:58.903 --> 00:03:01.773
  • That will bring good things to us.
  • 00:03:01.773 --> 00:03:03.742
  • We have a culture that wants to tell us
  • 00:03:03.742 --> 00:03:05.510
  • That we determine what's true.
  • 00:03:05.510 --> 00:03:06.978
  • That no one can determine my truth.
  • 00:03:06.978 --> 00:03:09.581
  • That's an irrational statement.
  • 00:03:10.215 --> 00:03:12.350
  • In the supreme court's ruling backing
  • 00:03:12.350 --> 00:03:14.152
  • The federal government's authority to turn away migrants.
  • 00:03:14.152 --> 00:03:16.855
  • The majority opinion affirmed that migrants who are stopped on
  • 00:03:16.855 --> 00:03:19.824
  • The mexican side of the border are not in the united states.
  • 00:03:19.824 --> 00:03:23.695
  • Justice samuel alito, who authored the ruling.
  • 00:03:23.695 --> 00:03:26.164
  • He read a summary of his opinion from the bench,
  • 00:03:26.164 --> 00:03:28.433
  • Noting that in everyday english, no one would say a person
  • 00:03:28.433 --> 00:03:31.269
  • Who has arrived in the country before actually entering it.
  • 00:03:31.269 --> 00:03:34.439
  • It's common sense.
  • 00:03:34.873 --> 00:03:37.008
  • But justice sonia sotomayor, in a dissent
  • 00:03:37.008 --> 00:03:39.511
  • That was joined by fellow liberal justices elena kagan
  • 00:03:39.511 --> 00:03:42.714
  • And ketanji brown jackson, well,
  • 00:03:42.714 --> 00:03:44.716
  • They voiced strong opposition to the ruling,
  • 00:03:44.716 --> 00:03:46.584
  • Arguing about the definition of the word.
  • 00:03:46.584 --> 00:03:48.820
  • In the liberal dissent, tried to redefine the word in.
  • 00:03:48.820 --> 00:03:53.258
  • It's absurd.
  • 00:03:53.591 --> 00:03:54.959
  • They obviously know what the word in means.
  • 00:03:54.959 --> 00:03:57.929
  • You're either in the swimming pool or you're not.
  • 00:03:57.929 --> 00:04:01.366
  • You can't be in the united states
  • 00:04:01.366 --> 00:04:03.001
  • If you're standing outside the united states.
  • 00:04:03.001 --> 00:04:05.704
  • If words like in no longer mean
  • 00:04:05.704 --> 00:04:08.239
  • In the rule of law becomes whatever judges want it to be,
  • 00:04:08.239 --> 00:04:12.210
  • Perhaps what judges
  • 00:04:12.677 --> 00:04:13.778
  • Don't like is being constrained by the rule of law.
  • 00:04:13.778 --> 00:04:16.815
  • They're supposed to interpret the law, not rewrite it
  • 00:04:16.815 --> 00:04:19.484
  • To achieve a preferred outcome.
  • 00:04:19.484 --> 00:04:21.586
  • It's another expression of lawlessness,
  • 00:04:21.586 --> 00:04:23.555
  • And we're witnesses.
  • 00:04:23.555 --> 00:04:25.056
  • What makes this most distressing
  • 00:04:25.056 --> 00:04:26.991
  • Is that it's at the highest level
  • 00:04:26.991 --> 00:04:28.426
  • Of the judicial authority in our country.
  • 00:04:28.426 --> 00:04:31.663
  • If supreme court justices choose lawlessness, we
  • 00:04:31.663 --> 00:04:34.966
  • Are truly at a crossroads.
  • 00:04:34.966 --> 00:04:36.935
  • But why should we be shocked?
  • 00:04:37.569 --> 00:04:39.137
  • During her senate judiciary confirmation hearings in 2022,
  • 00:04:39.137 --> 00:04:42.674
  • Then supreme court nominee ketanji brown jackson.
  • 00:04:42.674 --> 00:04:45.744
  • She couldn't or wouldn't define what a woman is.
  • 00:04:45.744 --> 00:04:48.646
  • Well, if a supreme court justice doesn't
  • 00:04:48.646 --> 00:04:50.215
  • Know what a woman is, perhaps
  • 00:04:50.215 --> 00:04:51.883
  • She's not qualified to be on the highest court of the land.
  • 00:04:51.883 --> 00:04:54.919
  • Truth is not subjective.
  • 00:04:54.919 --> 00:04:56.187
  • It doesn't shift with the prevailing political narrative.
  • 00:04:56.187 --> 00:04:59.324
  • We see subjective truth manifest with elected
  • 00:04:59.324 --> 00:05:01.760
  • Officials, city mayors
  • 00:05:01.760 --> 00:05:03.061
  • Who escalate lawlessness in their own communities.
  • 00:05:03.061 --> 00:05:05.630
  • They push to defund the police, to completely eradicate ice.
  • 00:05:05.630 --> 00:05:09.000
  • We've been a nation of laws.
  • 00:05:09.601 --> 00:05:11.002
  • We have been a people under authority.
  • 00:05:11.002 --> 00:05:13.471
  • But now we are teetering.
  • 00:05:13.471 --> 00:05:15.039
  • And it's only the mercy of god
  • 00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:16.574
  • That has put a firewall in place.
  • 00:05:16.574 --> 00:05:18.777
  • I would submit to you that the church has to stand up
  • 00:05:18.777 --> 00:05:21.613
  • And champion law and order.
  • 00:05:21.613 --> 00:05:23.415
  • We must make a distinction between legal and illegal,
  • 00:05:23.415 --> 00:05:26.484
  • And stop accommodating a secular culture.
  • 00:05:26.484 --> 00:05:29.187
  • We must remember that freedom.
  • 00:05:29.187 --> 00:05:30.855
  • It's not free, lasting change.
  • 00:05:30.855 --> 00:05:33.158
  • It begins with us.
  • 00:05:33.158 --> 00:05:34.526
  • If our nation really is to ever
  • 00:05:34.526 --> 00:05:36.094
  • Regain strength,
  • 00:05:36.094 --> 00:05:37.095
  • It will be because the church has the courage
  • 00:05:37.095 --> 00:05:39.063
  • To bring our biblical worldview back into play
  • 00:05:39.063 --> 00:05:43.001
  • In a moment.
  • 00:05:43.334 --> 00:05:43.935
  • We're going to be joined
  • 00:05:43.935 --> 00:05:45.136
  • By one of the most respected commonsense voices in congress
  • 00:05:45.136 --> 00:05:47.772
  • In south carolina, congressman ralph norman.
  • 00:05:47.772 --> 00:05:50.508
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:05:50.508 --> 00:05:59.009
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:05:59.009 --> 00:06:04.258
  • Well, tonight
  • 00:06:04.625 --> 00:06:05.793
  • We're joined by south carolina congressman ralph norman.
  • 00:06:05.793 --> 00:06:08.429
  • Welcome to the show, sir.
  • 00:06:08.429 --> 00:06:10.331
  • Glad to be with you, alan.
  • 00:06:10.331 --> 00:06:12.300
  • Let's start with the freedom caucus.
  • 00:06:12.300 --> 00:06:14.735
  • I know you're a part of that.
  • 00:06:14.735 --> 00:06:15.803
  • And you have voted for the save america act,
  • 00:06:15.803 --> 00:06:18.806
  • And you've pushed for the senate to vote on that.
  • 00:06:18.806 --> 00:06:21.209
  • They seem to be stuck a bit.
  • 00:06:21.209 --> 00:06:23.511
  • Do you have hopes that they're going to pass that?
  • 00:06:23.511 --> 00:06:26.881
  • No, i do not.
  • 00:06:26.881 --> 00:06:29.050
  • The senate has fallen down on its duties.
  • 00:06:29.050 --> 00:06:31.853
  • You know, you would think that showing an i.d.
  • 00:06:31.853 --> 00:06:35.523
  • And proving that you're a citizen
  • 00:06:35.523 --> 00:06:37.925
  • To vote in elections would be an easy lift.
  • 00:06:37.925 --> 00:06:41.329
  • And it's just not.
  • 00:06:41.762 --> 00:06:43.297
  • I mean, our elected officials are letting us down.
  • 00:06:43.297 --> 00:06:46.634
  • The house passed it not once, but twice.
  • 00:06:46.634 --> 00:06:48.669
  • John thune can call it back into session in the freedom caucus.
  • 00:06:49.837 --> 00:06:52.874
  • We had a a, meeting where,
  • 00:06:52.874 --> 00:06:57.345
  • You know, we advised we urge the senate to,
  • 00:06:57.345 --> 00:07:00.848
  • Instead of taking a two week vacation, to come back in to
  • 00:07:00.848 --> 00:07:05.019
  • Have a walk in filibuster where you keep them up all night.
  • 00:07:05.019 --> 00:07:08.556
  • And and pass this thing.
  • 00:07:08.556 --> 00:07:10.458
  • And i don't have any hopes they'll do it.
  • 00:07:10.458 --> 00:07:12.693
  • The only hopes we will have, if it is if people
  • 00:07:12.693 --> 00:07:16.397
  • All over the country get on the phones and call them
  • 00:07:16.397 --> 00:07:19.367
  • And saying enough is enough,
  • 00:07:19.367 --> 00:07:21.335
  • And try to get them to do their job,
  • 00:07:21.335 --> 00:07:23.004
  • And it shouldn't be that hard,
  • 00:07:23.004 --> 00:07:24.505
  • But it has been very frustrating.
  • 00:07:24.505 --> 00:07:26.841
  • You know, i've seen any number of polls and statistics.
  • 00:07:26.841 --> 00:07:29.243
  • The american people are overwhelmingly in favor of this.
  • 00:07:29.243 --> 00:07:32.713
  • This isn't a close issue.
  • 00:07:33.281 --> 00:07:35.383
  • It seems to me the people we send to congress
  • 00:07:35.383 --> 00:07:37.385
  • Are supposed to enact the will of the people.
  • 00:07:37.385 --> 00:07:39.754
  • Why are they so determined to ignore this?
  • 00:07:39.754 --> 00:07:43.024
  • What they've
  • 00:07:43.357 --> 00:07:44.392
  • Done is pull the rug over the american people.
  • 00:07:44.392 --> 00:07:47.128
  • They've campaigned as conservatives
  • 00:07:47.128 --> 00:07:49.263
  • And campaigned on less government, less taxes,
  • 00:07:49.263 --> 00:07:52.066
  • And they've done just the opposite.
  • 00:07:52.066 --> 00:07:54.135
  • They're doing so to further their own nest.
  • 00:07:54.135 --> 00:07:57.171
  • I mean, that's only the only way i can can tell you why
  • 00:07:57.171 --> 00:08:00.608
  • They are refusing, even though with the, the, the,
  • 00:08:00.608 --> 00:08:05.079
  • The mass approval rating of getting something done.
  • 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.349
  • It's the same thing as term limits.
  • 00:08:08.349 --> 00:08:09.884
  • So alan, i mean people won't term limits.
  • 00:08:09.884 --> 00:08:12.720
  • That's an 8020 issue and they won't pass that.
  • 00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.756
  • I put it up every year i've been in congress.
  • 00:08:15.756 --> 00:08:18.259
  • But hopefully that's going to change.
  • 00:08:18.259 --> 00:08:19.727
  • If not, we need to change some people out.
  • 00:08:19.727 --> 00:08:22.196
  • And, you know, i'm committed to do that at every level
  • 00:08:22.196 --> 00:08:25.132
  • Because you know, who
  • 00:08:25.132 --> 00:08:26.634
  • We elect to, to represent us all to do that.
  • 00:08:26.634 --> 00:08:30.838
  • And this is part of the constitution,
  • 00:08:30.838 --> 00:08:32.607
  • And it's something that we shouldn't
  • 00:08:32.607 --> 00:08:33.908
  • Have to fight as hard as we have in the final.
  • 00:08:33.908 --> 00:08:36.911
  • Yeah, this one seems like common sense.
  • 00:08:36.911 --> 00:08:38.779
  • President trump had a comment on election security.
  • 00:08:38.779 --> 00:08:41.415
  • I'm sure you're not shocked. let's listen to what he said.
  • 00:08:41.415 --> 00:08:43.651
  • Because of the mail-in ballot
  • 00:08:44.285 --> 00:08:46.420
  • Ruling, which was a little bit surprising.
  • 00:08:46.420 --> 00:08:48.990
  • Gives people more time to vote illegally, let's say.
  • 00:08:48.990 --> 00:08:53.661
  • But the say that is even more important.
  • 00:08:53.661 --> 00:08:56.430
  • The ruling, which a lot of people
  • 00:08:56.430 --> 00:08:58.432
  • Were waiting for, that was a ruling that was
  • 00:08:58.432 --> 00:09:01.302
  • I think it was very detrimental to honest elections.
  • 00:09:01.302 --> 00:09:05.506
  • You know,
  • 00:09:05.806 --> 00:09:06.674
  • We know president trump said he wouldn't
  • 00:09:06.674 --> 00:09:07.708
  • Sign the housing
  • 00:09:07.708 --> 00:09:09.610
  • Bill that was sent to him until the senate does something
  • 00:09:09.610 --> 00:09:12.713
  • With the safe act.
  • 00:09:12.713 --> 00:09:13.781
  • Is there anything else he can do to apply pressure?
  • 00:09:13.781 --> 00:09:17.084
  • Well, i think he just he needs to keep
  • 00:09:17.084 --> 00:09:19.053
  • Bringing that up, which he's doing.
  • 00:09:19.053 --> 00:09:20.454
  • We need to continue to hold,
  • 00:09:20.454 --> 00:09:23.157
  • Press conferences where we tell the senate, do something.
  • 00:09:23.157 --> 00:09:26.894
  • Let's pass this.
  • 00:09:26.894 --> 00:09:27.728
  • There's nothing more important.
  • 00:09:27.728 --> 00:09:29.497
  • And, you know, i made the statement.
  • 00:09:29.497 --> 00:09:31.365
  • I really am inclined not to vote for anything else
  • 00:09:31.365 --> 00:09:34.402
  • Until we either pass the same act, through the senate
  • 00:09:34.402 --> 00:09:38.506
  • And, and get this thing codified and into law.
  • 00:09:38.506 --> 00:09:42.510
  • And i think, ironically, i think you got a lot
  • 00:09:42.510 --> 00:09:45.212
  • Of republican senators are, are holding out.
  • 00:09:45.212 --> 00:09:49.050
  • And, you know,
  • 00:09:49.050 --> 00:09:49.583
  • You gotta
  • 00:09:49.583 --> 00:09:50.284
  • Gotta think they're
  • 00:09:50.284 --> 00:09:51.385
  • Against the country because safe elections is a bedrock
  • 00:09:51.385 --> 00:09:54.555
  • Of of our democracy.
  • 00:09:55.022 --> 00:09:56.691
  • And it's the reason why we have low
  • 00:09:56.691 --> 00:09:58.592
  • Percentage of people who vote in elections.
  • 00:09:58.592 --> 00:10:00.728
  • And i think it's, it's they're going to
  • 00:10:00.728 --> 00:10:03.597
  • If they're not
  • 00:10:03.597 --> 00:10:04.665
  • Going to pass this, then let's take off all the,
  • 00:10:04.665 --> 00:10:07.301
  • Proof that you have to have to get on
  • 00:10:07.301 --> 00:10:08.936
  • An airplane with your photo i.d.
  • 00:10:08.936 --> 00:10:10.805
  • And verification of that.
  • 00:10:10.805 --> 00:10:12.039
  • You are you say you are, but, you know, it's just,
  • 00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:15.876
  • We've repeated it over and over again,
  • 00:10:15.876 --> 00:10:17.678
  • And they're just not listening.
  • 00:10:17.678 --> 00:10:18.846
  • And i think
  • 00:10:18.846 --> 00:10:19.680
  • Until the public gets on the phone
  • 00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:20.681
  • And calls them rights and goes to see them,
  • 00:10:20.681 --> 00:10:23.050
  • They're not going to do anything.
  • 00:10:23.050 --> 00:10:24.685
  • All right, we've got an assignment.
  • 00:10:24.685 --> 00:10:25.986
  • We all need to reach out to our senators.
  • 00:10:25.986 --> 00:10:28.189
  • I want to change directions a little bit.
  • 00:10:28.189 --> 00:10:29.557
  • The acting attorney general, todd blanch, recently uncovered
  • 00:10:29.557 --> 00:10:33.027
  • Another 6.5 billion in health care fraud.
  • 00:10:33.027 --> 00:10:36.063
  • It seems endless.
  • 00:10:36.063 --> 00:10:37.198
  • It's stealing from the american people.
  • 00:10:37.198 --> 00:10:39.967
  • Is this fraud ever going to end?
  • 00:10:39.967 --> 00:10:41.202
  • Is there even a will to have it in?
  • 00:10:41.202 --> 00:10:44.839
  • You know, i've asked myself
  • 00:10:45.439 --> 00:10:46.674
  • A thousand times, why are we not,
  • 00:10:46.674 --> 00:10:50.644
  • Policing this?
  • 00:10:50.978 --> 00:10:52.012
  • And why do we not have consequences?
  • 00:10:52.012 --> 00:10:53.881
  • If there's one phrase
  • 00:10:53.881 --> 00:10:54.849
  • That i've heard over and over again
  • 00:10:54.849 --> 00:10:56.951
  • Is the american people want consequences
  • 00:10:56.951 --> 00:10:59.120
  • If you break the law.
  • 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:00.855
  • And in flouting the federal government is is you
  • 00:11:00.855 --> 00:11:05.226
  • You're breaking the law.
  • 00:11:05.226 --> 00:11:06.427
  • They all have consequences on it.
  • 00:11:06.427 --> 00:11:08.229
  • And as we saw in minnesota, where you had an amateur,
  • 00:11:08.229 --> 00:11:11.766
  • Investigator, just basically
  • 00:11:11.766 --> 00:11:13.267
  • A college student who found things at,
  • 00:11:13.267 --> 00:11:17.037
  • In minnesota that just were nonexistent.
  • 00:11:17.037 --> 00:11:19.473
  • It was a lot of money.
  • 00:11:19.473 --> 00:11:20.841
  • And the thing about it, if it's the whatever, a figure
  • 00:11:20.841 --> 00:11:23.511
  • That they have come up with, 9 billion, whatever it is.
  • 00:11:23.511 --> 00:11:27.181
  • How do you know that?
  • 00:11:27.681 --> 00:11:28.482
  • That's just a tip of the iceberg.
  • 00:11:28.482 --> 00:11:29.917
  • And i think it is. and i think it's rampant in every state.
  • 00:11:29.917 --> 00:11:32.586
  • We've been too lax for too long, and we have to stop it.
  • 00:11:32.586 --> 00:11:36.557
  • I agree.
  • 00:11:36.824 --> 00:11:38.325
  • We we're
  • 00:11:38.592 --> 00:11:39.693
  • Watching a phenomena that seems new in our lifetimes.
  • 00:11:39.693 --> 00:11:42.196
  • The dems are experiencing
  • 00:11:42.196 --> 00:11:43.297
  • This rise of socialist candidates in their party,
  • 00:11:43.297 --> 00:11:46.534
  • Even within the democratic party.
  • 00:11:46.534 --> 00:11:48.068
  • It doesn't seem that they're exactly clear on what to do.
  • 00:11:48.068 --> 00:11:51.038
  • President trump has suggested it might be good
  • 00:11:51.038 --> 00:11:53.474
  • For the republicans in the midterm elections.
  • 00:11:53.474 --> 00:11:56.844
  • What do you say about this craziness?
  • 00:11:56.844 --> 00:11:58.445
  • Because it seems bizarre
  • 00:11:58.445 --> 00:12:01.282
  • When you see what's happening in in new york,
  • 00:12:01.282 --> 00:12:04.485
  • Where you have a man in monopoly who wants government
  • 00:12:04.485 --> 00:12:08.022
  • Controlled everything, grocery stores doing away with police.
  • 00:12:08.022 --> 00:12:11.926
  • Socialism and communism has never worked
  • 00:12:12.760 --> 00:12:15.729
  • And is not going to work now.
  • 00:12:15.729 --> 00:12:16.964
  • And our young people have got a rude awakening
  • 00:12:16.964 --> 00:12:19.533
  • If they continue to let people like that get elected.
  • 00:12:19.533 --> 00:12:21.936
  • But you see it all over.
  • 00:12:21.936 --> 00:12:23.237
  • I mean,
  • 00:12:23.237 --> 00:12:24.471
  • Look what newsom has done gavin newsom is doing in california.
  • 00:12:24.471 --> 00:12:27.274
  • Look what's happening in virginia.
  • 00:12:27.274 --> 00:12:28.943
  • And you know, the muslims are on the rise.
  • 00:12:29.844 --> 00:12:33.547
  • Sharia law, which is a cult, has no place in this country.
  • 00:12:33.547 --> 00:12:37.718
  • And, you know, it's just a time for action.
  • 00:12:37.718 --> 00:12:40.254
  • And this is a time as we reflect on the 250 year anniversary.
  • 00:12:40.254 --> 00:12:44.525
  • We gotta protect our freedom.
  • 00:12:44.525 --> 00:12:45.993
  • And that's what's at stake.
  • 00:12:45.993 --> 00:12:47.127
  • And we're losing it.
  • 00:12:47.127 --> 00:12:49.330
  • And socialism is.
  • 00:12:49.330 --> 00:12:50.798
  • Or communism to to this point is,
  • 00:12:50.798 --> 00:12:53.734
  • It seems, seems
  • 00:12:53.734 --> 00:12:54.835
  • To be the wave of the future for the democrat party.
  • 00:12:54.835 --> 00:12:57.037
  • There is a war going on within the party to decide
  • 00:12:57.037 --> 00:13:00.875
  • What they're going to become.
  • 00:13:00.875 --> 00:13:02.042
  • But right now, if you tell with if you look at the votes
  • 00:13:02.042 --> 00:13:05.412
  • There, edge into it
  • 00:13:05.412 --> 00:13:06.580
  • More and more toward total socialism and total communism,
  • 00:13:06.580 --> 00:13:09.617
  • We have the greatest nation in the world
  • 00:13:10.484 --> 00:13:12.386
  • That i don't want to send anybody to washington, dc
  • 00:13:12.386 --> 00:13:14.521
  • That doesn't believe that and won't work towards that
  • 00:13:14.521 --> 00:13:17.391
  • Just seems bizarre.
  • 00:13:17.391 --> 00:13:18.826
  • Well, it is bizarre and has got to be accountability.
  • 00:13:19.894 --> 00:13:22.763
  • We've got to start the the electorate has got to start
  • 00:13:22.763 --> 00:13:25.566
  • Monitoring what goes on in each of
  • 00:13:25.566 --> 00:13:27.668
  • Their respective state houses
  • 00:13:27.668 --> 00:13:29.370
  • And hold these people accountable
  • 00:13:29.370 --> 00:13:30.638
  • Because, what they're saying to get elected
  • 00:13:30.638 --> 00:13:33.607
  • And what they're actually doing are two different things.
  • 00:13:33.607 --> 00:13:36.176
  • And it shouldn't be.
  • 00:13:36.176 --> 00:13:37.778
  • Well, congressman, we need to take a short break.
  • 00:13:37.778 --> 00:13:39.513
  • I hope you'll stay with us for another segment.
  • 00:13:39.513 --> 00:13:41.815
  • My pleasure.
  • 00:13:41.815 --> 00:13:43.050
  • Glad to those of you watching, if you got your phone close by.
  • 00:13:43.050 --> 00:13:45.519
  • Log on to aj now.com.
  • 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:47.221
  • You can send us an email on these topics.
  • 00:13:47.221 --> 00:13:49.957
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:13:49.957 --> 00:13:59.005
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:13:59.005 --> 00:14:04.175
  • We're back now with congressman ralph norman.
  • 00:14:05.109 --> 00:14:08.313
  • It's beginning to look a lot like a definition of cease
  • 00:14:08.313 --> 00:14:10.949
  • Fire for iran is much different than we would understand it.
  • 00:14:10.949 --> 00:14:14.218
  • No real surprise there.
  • 00:14:14.719 --> 00:14:15.853
  • I think
  • 00:14:15.853 --> 00:14:16.421
  • Negotiations for them
  • 00:14:16.421 --> 00:14:17.388
  • Are a way of getting their way in the moment,
  • 00:14:17.388 --> 00:14:18.656
  • And they'll deal with consequences later.
  • 00:14:18.656 --> 00:14:21.359
  • We're sending our special
  • 00:14:21.359 --> 00:14:22.627
  • Envoys, kushner and wyckoff, back.
  • 00:14:22.627 --> 00:14:25.596
  • Do you think we're going to see any meaningful progress,
  • 00:14:25.596 --> 00:14:27.332
  • Or is this dance just going to continue?
  • 00:14:27.332 --> 00:14:29.901
  • I think
  • 00:14:30.134 --> 00:14:30.969
  • They're dancing around the issues of
  • 00:14:30.969 --> 00:14:34.272
  • Not really wanting to abide by the 60 day resolution to,
  • 00:14:34.272 --> 00:14:39.544
  • You know, agree not to make nuclear bombs, agree
  • 00:14:40.478 --> 00:14:43.381
  • To open the straits of hormuz, agree to stop by,
  • 00:14:43.381 --> 00:14:47.051
  • Bombing the ships and undermining the,
  • 00:14:47.051 --> 00:14:50.521
  • The free flow of all this represents 20% of the country.
  • 00:14:50.521 --> 00:14:54.926
  • You're dealing with madmen.
  • 00:14:55.526 --> 00:14:56.894
  • You really are.
  • 00:14:56.894 --> 00:14:58.196
  • Anywhere else.
  • 00:14:58.196 --> 00:14:59.497
  • The countries all over this world
  • 00:14:59.497 --> 00:15:01.199
  • That don't murder
  • 00:15:01.199 --> 00:15:02.300
  • Their innocent citizens, as they have done in iran,
  • 00:15:02.300 --> 00:15:05.303
  • They killed, you know, from our count, 220,000 and counting.
  • 00:15:05.303 --> 00:15:10.074
  • And, you know, they,
  • 00:15:10.541 --> 00:15:13.678
  • It's a rogue regime.
  • 00:15:13.678 --> 00:15:15.146
  • The leaders are are berserk.
  • 00:15:15.146 --> 00:15:18.249
  • Trump calls him crazy man.
  • 00:15:18.249 --> 00:15:19.684
  • And they are.
  • 00:15:19.684 --> 00:15:20.752
  • But no, i think at the end of the day,
  • 00:15:20.752 --> 00:15:23.154
  • I think
  • 00:15:23.154 --> 00:15:23.755
  • He's going to have to
  • 00:15:23.755 --> 00:15:24.722
  • At the end of the 60 day moratorium,
  • 00:15:24.722 --> 00:15:26.491
  • He's going to have to take the final measure,
  • 00:15:26.491 --> 00:15:28.059
  • Which will be to totally destroy him.
  • 00:15:28.059 --> 00:15:30.795
  • Well,
  • 00:15:31.029 --> 00:15:32.096
  • You recently introduced the worst of the worst act
  • 00:15:32.096 --> 00:15:34.198
  • To expose the criminal aliens, illegal aliens
  • 00:15:34.198 --> 00:15:37.268
  • That are in custody and have them released
  • 00:15:37.268 --> 00:15:40.505
  • So they can be deported.
  • 00:15:40.505 --> 00:15:41.939
  • Tell us about why you did that and what the outcomes will be.
  • 00:15:41.939 --> 00:15:45.543
  • Well, the purpose of my bill was on the worst.
  • 00:15:45.543 --> 00:15:48.012
  • The worst is
  • 00:15:48.012 --> 00:15:49.447
  • The american people need to know who is in their neighborhoods,
  • 00:15:49.447 --> 00:15:52.350
  • Who's going to shopping centers with their wives and with their
  • 00:15:52.350 --> 00:15:55.653
  • Their relatives and what crimes they've committed,
  • 00:15:55.653 --> 00:15:59.624
  • And expose them and get them shipped out of here.
  • 00:15:59.624 --> 00:16:02.593
  • And the biden administration is, you know, for four years,
  • 00:16:02.593 --> 00:16:05.730
  • It was an open door policy of everybody from every country.
  • 00:16:05.730 --> 00:16:09.734
  • And we're paying a price for it.
  • 00:16:09.734 --> 00:16:11.202
  • Now, the 20 plus million, is we have to deal with it.
  • 00:16:11.202 --> 00:16:15.540
  • And the tremendous cost
  • 00:16:15.540 --> 00:16:17.141
  • This country is having to bear and borrow, you know,
  • 00:16:17.141 --> 00:16:20.945
  • The money we're having to spend on ice agents
  • 00:16:20.945 --> 00:16:23.781
  • And on law enforcement to take back illegals
  • 00:16:23.781 --> 00:16:28.019
  • That should have never been there.
  • 00:16:28.019 --> 00:16:29.987
  • And the sad part is, a lot of americans don't know
  • 00:16:29.987 --> 00:16:33.357
  • Who is is in their town and in the neighborhood.
  • 00:16:33.357 --> 00:16:37.161
  • This act will, will, will force the sanctuary
  • 00:16:37.161 --> 00:16:40.498
  • Cities and force law enforcement to identify.
  • 00:16:40.498 --> 00:16:43.501
  • And again, alan, this shouldn't be a controversial bill at all.
  • 00:16:43.501 --> 00:16:47.205
  • We just introduced it.
  • 00:16:47.205 --> 00:16:48.473
  • We'll see how many co-sponsors we have. but,
  • 00:16:48.473 --> 00:16:52.477
  • To to
  • 00:16:52.710 --> 00:16:53.711
  • Not know this is putting every american at risk
  • 00:16:53.711 --> 00:16:56.380
  • For for those who are not from america, they're here illegally.
  • 00:16:56.380 --> 00:17:00.952
  • A lot of them have committed crimes.
  • 00:17:00.952 --> 00:17:02.320
  • And we've got to deal with it.
  • 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:03.754
  • And this is the first step,
  • 00:17:03.754 --> 00:17:05.323
  • Which again, should be an easy lift.
  • 00:17:05.323 --> 00:17:08.960
  • Well, you're one of the original co-sponsors
  • 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:10.895
  • Of the assimilation act that was introduced last month.
  • 00:17:10.895 --> 00:17:13.865
  • Can you tell us more about that, bill, what the status is
  • 00:17:13.865 --> 00:17:16.901
  • And what we can do to help it gain some traction?
  • 00:17:16.901 --> 00:17:19.704
  • Well, the assimilation is is
  • 00:17:19.704 --> 00:17:22.440
  • One that, again, should not even be a question.
  • 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:25.810
  • We ought to get all information together
  • 00:17:25.810 --> 00:17:27.945
  • Or i'll have it out there for the public to see.
  • 00:17:27.945 --> 00:17:30.248
  • And, you know,
  • 00:17:30.248 --> 00:17:31.516
  • The simplest thing that i can say is just get involved,
  • 00:17:31.516 --> 00:17:35.186
  • Ask questions.
  • 00:17:35.186 --> 00:17:36.821
  • Ask law enforcement.
  • 00:17:36.821 --> 00:17:37.955
  • They need our help, and they need our involvement.
  • 00:17:37.955 --> 00:17:40.158
  • And until we do that,
  • 00:17:40.158 --> 00:17:41.692
  • We can pass all the laws we want.
  • 00:17:41.692 --> 00:17:43.928
  • But if it's not filtering down to enforcing the law,
  • 00:17:43.928 --> 00:17:47.865
  • Then we're back at ground zero.
  • 00:17:47.865 --> 00:17:49.734
  • And that's kind of where we are.
  • 00:17:49.734 --> 00:17:51.469
  • We're going to keep putting up the laws,
  • 00:17:51.469 --> 00:17:52.970
  • And we're going to keep
  • 00:17:52.970 --> 00:17:53.971
  • Trying to pass the bills that make sense. and,
  • 00:17:53.971 --> 00:17:57.008
  • Hopefully we'll get some traction.
  • 00:17:57.775 --> 00:17:59.577
  • But as we talked about
  • 00:17:59.577 --> 00:18:01.078
  • With the senators, it's going to take their constituents
  • 00:18:01.078 --> 00:18:03.514
  • Calling them personally and saying, we need the need
  • 00:18:03.514 --> 00:18:07.885
  • To identify criminals that are in our neighborhoods.
  • 00:18:07.885 --> 00:18:10.888
  • We need you to pass an act that's common sense with voting.
  • 00:18:10.888 --> 00:18:14.759
  • We need you to,
  • 00:18:15.126 --> 00:18:17.195
  • Be a need, the representatives to be accountable.
  • 00:18:17.195 --> 00:18:19.897
  • And they just have not been.
  • 00:18:19.897 --> 00:18:21.866
  • So just so i'm clear, if we make the effort
  • 00:18:21.866 --> 00:18:23.568
  • To call our senators or their local offices
  • 00:18:23.568 --> 00:18:25.770
  • To leave a message or express our opinions,
  • 00:18:25.770 --> 00:18:27.972
  • That makes a difference,
  • 00:18:27.972 --> 00:18:30.274
  • Makes tremendous difference.
  • 00:18:30.274 --> 00:18:31.442
  • Now, you may not know it, but any time our office
  • 00:18:31.442 --> 00:18:34.478
  • And i think most offices are like this,
  • 00:18:34.478 --> 00:18:37.081
  • They will tell us as representatives
  • 00:18:37.081 --> 00:18:39.584
  • How many people have called in on either side of the issue,
  • 00:18:39.584 --> 00:18:42.987
  • Either pro or con, and, it makes a difference.
  • 00:18:42.987 --> 00:18:46.991
  • But, you know, i begin to wonder if,
  • 00:18:46.991 --> 00:18:51.128
  • It needs to be just more than calls
  • 00:18:51.896 --> 00:18:54.065
  • And emails need to request meetings,
  • 00:18:54.065 --> 00:18:56.634
  • Even if it means to come into washington.
  • 00:18:56.634 --> 00:18:58.469
  • Which groups come all the time?
  • 00:18:58.469 --> 00:18:59.971
  • I enjoy meeting with with these particular groups,
  • 00:18:59.971 --> 00:19:03.507
  • And let them hear directly from us.
  • 00:19:03.507 --> 00:19:05.309
  • But a combination of all of the above
  • 00:19:05.309 --> 00:19:07.645
  • Is what it's going to take to get this country back on track.
  • 00:19:07.645 --> 00:19:11.415
  • But we are celebrating our 250th anniversary,
  • 00:19:11.415 --> 00:19:14.619
  • Which is a wonderful privilege that we have.
  • 00:19:14.619 --> 00:19:16.954
  • I knew you before you went to washington.
  • 00:19:16.954 --> 00:19:19.190
  • I knew you were just a businessman.
  • 00:19:19.190 --> 00:19:21.359
  • You obviously think our country
  • 00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:22.760
  • Is worth making an investment in.
  • 00:19:22.760 --> 00:19:25.029
  • What is it about america that you think is so remarkable
  • 00:19:25.029 --> 00:19:27.498
  • That it's worth giving your time and effort and energy
  • 00:19:27.498 --> 00:19:29.734
  • To help build the future for the next generation?
  • 00:19:29.734 --> 00:19:32.570
  • America is the only country that has withstood
  • 00:19:32.570 --> 00:19:35.906
  • The only republic that stood for 250 years.
  • 00:19:35.906 --> 00:19:39.944
  • America is the only country that this constitution is based on.
  • 00:19:39.944 --> 00:19:43.881
  • God and christianity in america is the only nation.
  • 00:19:43.881 --> 00:19:48.419
  • That is, if we're going to continue to exist.
  • 00:19:48.419 --> 00:19:51.589
  • We've got to put put god back in the mainstream of public life.
  • 00:19:51.589 --> 00:19:56.160
  • And, we've got to protect one word freedom.
  • 00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.464
  • And if we don't, we will pay a price.
  • 00:20:00.464 --> 00:20:02.700
  • And it's i hope people will rise to the occasion.
  • 00:20:02.700 --> 00:20:06.904
  • And, i'm sensing that they will, but it's going to take a
  • 00:20:06.904 --> 00:20:11.042
  • Unified effort.
  • 00:20:11.042 --> 00:20:12.243
  • But america is like no other.
  • 00:20:12.243 --> 00:20:13.878
  • We support so many other countries
  • 00:20:13.878 --> 00:20:15.479
  • All around the world,
  • 00:20:15.479 --> 00:20:16.814
  • And we're the beacon of hope and hopefully we're going
  • 00:20:16.814 --> 00:20:19.417
  • To keep that light burning. amen.
  • 00:20:19.417 --> 00:20:22.153
  • Well, ralph, i thank you for your time today.
  • 00:20:22.153 --> 00:20:24.021
  • I appreciate your courageous, determined leadership.
  • 00:20:24.021 --> 00:20:26.824
  • You're making a difference.
  • 00:20:26.824 --> 00:20:28.559
  • Well, thank you so much.
  • 00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:29.493
  • Thank you for the difference you're making.
  • 00:20:29.493 --> 00:20:31.595
  • In a moment, we'll be right back with your emails.
  • 00:20:31.595 --> 00:20:42.006
  • In a moment, we'll be right back with your emails.
  • 00:20:42.006 --> 00:20:48.038
  • Thank you for spending a few minutes of your day with us.
  • 00:20:49.139 --> 00:20:51.875
  • Just a reminder, if you ever miss a live program,

  • You can always go to aj now.com.
  • 00:20:54.078 --> 00:20:56.146
  • There is a full archive there.

  • They're easy to share with a friend.

  • Thank you for your emails.
  • 00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:03.253
  • We always look forward to them.
  • 00:21:03.253 --> 00:21:05.089
  • Lori in kissimmee, florida said it's beyond my power
  • 00:21:05.089 --> 00:21:08.058
  • Of reasoning that any american
  • 00:21:08.058 --> 00:21:09.526
  • Could possibly be against showing id to vote.
  • 00:21:09.526 --> 00:21:12.596
  • Folks, this is not a hard thing.
  • 00:21:12.596 --> 00:21:14.465
  • You show it to go to a doctor, you show it to buy beer or wine.
  • 00:21:14.465 --> 00:21:17.501
  • You'll show it to get a bank account.
  • 00:21:17.501 --> 00:21:19.403
  • Come on government, get it done.
  • 00:21:19.403 --> 00:21:20.904
  • Save america.
  • 00:21:20.904 --> 00:21:22.106
  • Well, lori, i think americans are in agreement with you.
  • 00:21:22.106 --> 00:21:24.808
  • It's the senate. we need to be praying for.
  • 00:21:24.808 --> 00:21:27.177
  • They need to follow the will of the people.
  • 00:21:27.177 --> 00:21:29.446
  • That's their day job.
  • 00:21:29.446 --> 00:21:31.949
  • Sandy from tennessee.
  • 00:21:32.449 --> 00:21:34.818
  • I believe god has used president trump
  • 00:21:34.818 --> 00:21:36.653
  • To reveal the corrupted foundation
  • 00:21:36.653 --> 00:21:38.422
  • That has crept
  • 00:21:38.422 --> 00:21:39.523
  • Into our constitutional republic form of government.
  • 00:21:39.523 --> 00:21:42.159
  • The bible says
  • 00:21:42.159 --> 00:21:43.360
  • If the foundation is cracked, what can the righteous do?
  • 00:21:43.360 --> 00:21:45.963
  • What we are seeing in our primaries
  • 00:21:45.963 --> 00:21:47.498
  • Should be a wake up
  • 00:21:47.498 --> 00:21:48.599
  • Call to freedom loving americans to get out and vote.
  • 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:51.502
  • These midterms are as important
  • 00:21:51.502 --> 00:21:52.936
  • As the presidential election in 2024.
  • 00:21:52.936 --> 00:21:55.973
  • Pray vote stand should be our mantra.
  • 00:21:55.973 --> 00:21:59.410
  • Well, sandy, i couldn't agree with you more,
  • 00:21:59.410 --> 00:22:01.812
  • But i think it really begins in our hearts.
  • 00:22:01.812 --> 00:22:03.614
  • We've got to lead with our faith wherever we go.
  • 00:22:03.614 --> 00:22:06.283
  • We've got to use
  • 00:22:06.283 --> 00:22:07.418
  • Our kitchen tables as a place where truth is promoted
  • 00:22:07.418 --> 00:22:10.254
  • And advocated
  • 00:22:10.254 --> 00:22:11.422
  • Within our family systems, within our friends circles.
  • 00:22:11.422 --> 00:22:14.658
  • If we will do that, if we will be advocates
  • 00:22:14.658 --> 00:22:16.794
  • For the truth, if we will own the truth.
  • 00:22:16.794 --> 00:22:18.862
  • I believe the elections become a reflection
  • 00:22:18.862 --> 00:22:21.165
  • Of the condition of our heart,
  • 00:22:21.165 --> 00:22:22.933
  • And based on current elections,
  • 00:22:22.933 --> 00:22:24.435
  • We've got some real hard trouble.
  • 00:22:24.435 --> 00:22:26.203
  • God can help us.
  • 00:22:26.203 --> 00:22:27.504
  • God's moving in the earth.
  • 00:22:27.504 --> 00:22:28.739
  • Let's join him.
  • 00:22:28.739 --> 00:22:29.673
  • Thank you for spending a few moments with us.
  • 00:22:29.673 --> 00:22:31.241
  • God bless you and good night.
  • 00:22:31.241 --> 00:22:31.241
