Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Security Enforcement | Allen Jackson Now | January 20, 2026
  • Good evening and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:00:17.008 --> 00:00:19.277
  • I'm alan jackson.
  • 00:00:19.277 --> 00:00:20.812
  • Something is deeply wrong with what's going on in minnesota.
  • 00:00:20.812 --> 00:00:24.116
  • And it's getting worse to begin with.
  • 00:00:24.116 --> 00:00:26.618
  • It's now completely obvious that the democrats
  • 00:00:26.618 --> 00:00:28.987
  • Were adding voters to their shrinking base
  • 00:00:28.987 --> 00:00:31.723
  • When they let the millions of people in our country illegally.
  • 00:00:31.723 --> 00:00:35.193
  • It's equally clear that governor tim
  • 00:00:35.193 --> 00:00:37.095
  • Walz was looking the other way when some of those people
  • 00:00:37.095 --> 00:00:40.265
  • Were stealing billions of dollars
  • 00:00:40.265 --> 00:00:42.267
  • From the taxpayers with their fraudulent schemes.
  • 00:00:42.267 --> 00:00:46.171
  • Well, now, a former cnn anchor man has put himself
  • 00:00:46.171 --> 00:00:49.274
  • In the middle of the protest,
  • 00:00:49.274 --> 00:00:51.042
  • Taunting people with a live stream
  • 00:00:51.042 --> 00:00:53.378
  • To drive up the temperature
  • 00:00:53.378 --> 00:00:55.680
  • Storming a church during sunday service.
  • 00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:58.817
  • It was prime times don lemon, who was fired
  • 00:00:58.817 --> 00:01:01.286
  • After 17 years on the job and a series of rather obnoxious
  • 00:01:01.286 --> 00:01:05.190
  • Attempts at becoming the story rather than reporting the news.
  • 00:01:05.190 --> 00:01:09.261
  • And on top of that is ratings weren't any good.
  • 00:01:09.261 --> 00:01:11.796
  • Well, to make things worse, the minneapolis
  • 00:01:11.796 --> 00:01:13.498
  • Mayor has been telling people to fight ice rather
  • 00:01:13.498 --> 00:01:16.701
  • Than to protect those who voted him into office.
  • 00:01:16.701 --> 00:01:19.738
  • Listen to his comments.
  • 00:01:19.738 --> 00:01:21.139
  • We have had, perhaps tens of
  • 00:01:21.740 --> 00:01:24.476
  • Thousands of people peacefully protesting in the streets.
  • 00:01:24.476 --> 00:01:28.113
  • And at the same time.
  • 00:01:28.113 --> 00:01:29.614
  • Yeah, they are going to stand up for their neighbors.
  • 00:01:29.614 --> 00:01:32.517
  • And what we are seeing time and time again
  • 00:01:32.517 --> 00:01:35.754
  • Is unconstitutional conduct by ice.
  • 00:01:35.754 --> 00:01:39.124
  • But here's the truth.
  • 00:01:39.624 --> 00:01:40.792
  • Those tens of thousands of people,
  • 00:01:40.792 --> 00:01:43.161
  • They're not just their neighbors.
  • 00:01:43.161 --> 00:01:44.930
  • They're full time paid protesters
  • 00:01:44.930 --> 00:01:47.766
  • Who are there to transform our country
  • 00:01:47.766 --> 00:01:49.868
  • From what it's been into something much more radical.
  • 00:01:49.868 --> 00:01:53.572
  • Listen to what the investigative head of the guy has uncovered.
  • 00:01:53.572 --> 00:01:57.809
  • When you look at what's happening
  • 00:01:58.543 --> 00:02:00.045
  • On the streets of america, the violent protests
  • 00:02:00.045 --> 00:02:02.847
  • In los angeles, in new york, what's going on in minneapolis?
  • 00:02:02.847 --> 00:02:06.218
  • You're going to notice that there are a lot of people
  • 00:02:06.218 --> 00:02:08.186
  • That are there, that were from overseas.
  • 00:02:08.186 --> 00:02:10.755
  • They don't even necessarily speak english.
  • 00:02:10.755 --> 00:02:12.724
  • A lot of them are hardcore activists who have been imported
  • 00:02:12.724 --> 00:02:16.161
  • Into the country.
  • 00:02:16.161 --> 00:02:17.295
  • And this is their job
  • 00:02:17.295 --> 00:02:18.997
  • To transform america through rad
  • 00:02:18.997 --> 00:02:23.702
  • Why is it that these leaders in blue states
  • 00:02:24.569 --> 00:02:27.138
  • Tolerate paid agitators
  • 00:02:27.138 --> 00:02:29.574
  • Illegal activity, and then they ignore federal laws?
  • 00:02:29.574 --> 00:02:33.111
  • How could that be okay?
  • 00:02:33.111 --> 00:02:35.146
  • You know, some of them, like minneapolis
  • 00:02:35.146 --> 00:02:36.615
  • Mayor jacob frey and minnesota governor tim waltz,
  • 00:02:36.615 --> 00:02:39.351
  • They are coaching people to disobey.
  • 00:02:39.351 --> 00:02:42.520
  • A few months ago, tim walz put the lives of ice staff in danger
  • 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.424
  • By blatantly associating them with nazi germany.
  • 00:02:46.424 --> 00:02:49.928
  • These brave men and women of ice were simply enforcing the laws
  • 00:02:49.928 --> 00:02:53.531
  • That already existed
  • 00:02:53.531 --> 00:02:54.966
  • To keep our streets and our communities safer,
  • 00:02:54.966 --> 00:02:58.470
  • Even before taking office.
  • 00:02:58.470 --> 00:02:59.771
  • The socialist mayor elect of new york city.
  • 00:02:59.771 --> 00:03:02.073
  • He preemptively put out a video coaching his future
  • 00:03:02.073 --> 00:03:05.310
  • Constituents on how to, quote, protect your neighbors from ice.
  • 00:03:05.310 --> 00:03:10.048
  • I heard the mayor of chicago raging because ice was
  • 00:03:10.048 --> 00:03:12.751
  • Arresting venezuelan gang members in his city.
  • 00:03:12.751 --> 00:03:16.721
  • A thank
  • 00:03:16.955 --> 00:03:18.123
  • You might have been more the more appropriate response
  • 00:03:18.123 --> 00:03:21.359
  • If you add to it now the complicity of the media.
  • 00:03:21.359 --> 00:03:24.029
  • Don lemon is a part of that.
  • 00:03:24.029 --> 00:03:26.131
  • He proudly live streamed as these agitators traumatized
  • 00:03:26.131 --> 00:03:30.235
  • Minnesota church attenders, including young children.
  • 00:03:30.235 --> 00:03:33.805
  • We are seeing in full display that the media
  • 00:03:33.805 --> 00:03:36.141
  • Is actually helping
  • 00:03:36.141 --> 00:03:37.342
  • To instigate the disruption of a normal church service.
  • 00:03:37.342 --> 00:03:41.246
  • The church wasn't doing anything illegal.
  • 00:03:41.246 --> 00:03:42.681
  • They weren't selling drugs.
  • 00:03:42.681 --> 00:03:44.249
  • They were gathering for sunday worship.
  • 00:03:44.249 --> 00:03:47.485
  • Why is trump getting crushed by the media and leaders
  • 00:03:47.485 --> 00:03:50.155
  • Both here and abroad?
  • 00:03:50.155 --> 00:03:51.690
  • I remember when reagan said to mr.
  • 00:03:51.690 --> 00:03:53.491
  • Gorbachev, tear down this wall.
  • 00:03:53.491 --> 00:03:55.627
  • Reagan wasn't vilified.
  • 00:03:55.627 --> 00:03:57.062
  • He wasn't globally hated.
  • 00:03:57.062 --> 00:03:59.264
  • Trump, on
  • 00:03:59.264 --> 00:04:00.065
  • The other hand, is getting crushed
  • 00:04:00.065 --> 00:04:01.299
  • When he takes down a communist dictator in our own hemisphere.
  • 00:04:01.299 --> 00:04:04.736
  • Why does the media resent securing our border?
  • 00:04:04.736 --> 00:04:08.039
  • President obama deported millions of people.
  • 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.942
  • They were gathered up in blue cities
  • 00:04:10.942 --> 00:04:12.510
  • And handed over to federal agents to be deported.
  • 00:04:12.510 --> 00:04:15.880
  • In 2015, then president obama awarded
  • 00:04:15.880 --> 00:04:19.317
  • The presidential rank award for distinguished service to our
  • 00:04:19.317 --> 00:04:23.188
  • Current borders, our tom homan, for his leadership at ice.
  • 00:04:23.188 --> 00:04:27.258
  • And i quote his sustained, extraordinary results.
  • 00:04:27.258 --> 00:04:30.528
  • So why the tremendous divide?
  • 00:04:31.162 --> 00:04:33.565
  • Trump isn't doing something we've never seen before.
  • 00:04:33.565 --> 00:04:36.000
  • He's not hitler.
  • 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.102
  • He's not an existential threat.
  • 00:04:37.102 --> 00:04:39.337
  • He dropped the murder rate in d.c., but in chicago,
  • 00:04:39.337 --> 00:04:42.841
  • They're just flat out.
  • 00:04:42.841 --> 00:04:44.075
  • So they didn't want his help reducing murders in their city.
  • 00:04:44.075 --> 00:04:46.044
  • So they go on.
  • 00:04:46.044 --> 00:04:47.946
  • I would suggest that the church is going to have to become
  • 00:04:47.946 --> 00:04:50.548
  • More astute consumers of information.
  • 00:04:50.548 --> 00:04:53.718
  • We're going to have to pay attention
  • 00:04:53.718 --> 00:04:54.853
  • To the world we're living in.
  • 00:04:54.853 --> 00:04:56.020
  • If we're going to be effective as salt and light.
  • 00:04:56.020 --> 00:04:58.790
  • We are advocates for a king and the perspective of his kingdom.
  • 00:04:58.790 --> 00:05:03.027
  • That worldview comes to us from the word of god.
  • 00:05:03.027 --> 00:05:05.530
  • We can't capitulate to the culture.
  • 00:05:05.530 --> 00:05:07.565
  • We have to have the courage to speak the truth.
  • 00:05:07.565 --> 00:05:10.468
  • With all of that going on the table.
  • 00:05:10.468 --> 00:05:12.103
  • We're going to hear from the veteran political strategist
  • 00:05:12.103 --> 00:05:15.106
  • And the founder of south and hill strategies, colin reed.
  • 00:05:15.106 --> 00:05:18.877
  • He's going to join us
  • 00:05:19.377 --> 00:05:20.378
  • From washington right after this short break.
  • 00:05:20.378 --> 00:05:23.114
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:05:23.114 --> 00:05:31.003
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:05:31.003 --> 00:05:35.994
  • Welcome back.
  • 00:05:36.361 --> 00:05:37.295
  • Our guest tonight
  • 00:05:37.295 --> 00:05:38.430
  • Is the founder of south and hill strategies, colin reed.
  • 00:05:38.430 --> 00:05:41.866
  • Colin, this former cnn anchor, don lemon.
  • 00:05:41.866 --> 00:05:45.336
  • He's fallen off the map since he was fired.
  • 00:05:45.336 --> 00:05:47.439
  • But he has enough of an audience
  • 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.140
  • For his free wheeling live streams to help draw a crowd.
  • 00:05:49.140 --> 00:05:52.944
  • The eternal general is now going to investigate
  • 00:05:52.944 --> 00:05:55.480
  • The church protest for criminal violations,
  • 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.216
  • Including the right to safely access houses of worship.
  • 00:05:58.216 --> 00:06:01.486
  • What do you think should be done?
  • 00:06:01.486 --> 00:06:03.955
  • Well, look, i think, allan, two things can be true
  • 00:06:03.955 --> 00:06:06.157
  • At the same time.
  • 00:06:06.157 --> 00:06:06.991
  • One, any loss of life
  • 00:06:06.991 --> 00:06:08.726
  • Is a tragic one, including the loss of rene.
  • 00:06:08.726 --> 00:06:10.628
  • Good in minnesota.
  • 00:06:10.628 --> 00:06:12.096
  • Regardless of what political views
  • 00:06:12.096 --> 00:06:13.798
  • You may have or what she was doing at the time.
  • 00:06:13.798 --> 00:06:16.034
  • But at the same time, the
  • 00:06:16.034 --> 00:06:18.136
  • We know where this debate ends at a national level.
  • 00:06:18.136 --> 00:06:20.238
  • And frankly, because we've seen it before.
  • 00:06:20.238 --> 00:06:22.240
  • And ironically, in the very same city
  • 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:23.808
  • Of minneapolis, this leads to widespread condemnation
  • 00:06:23.808 --> 00:06:27.579
  • And attacks in the rank and file of law enforcement
  • 00:06:27.579 --> 00:06:30.415
  • Who are just trying to do their jobs and keep the city safe.
  • 00:06:30.415 --> 00:06:33.451
  • And look, there's a lot of reasons
  • 00:06:33.451 --> 00:06:35.153
  • We got to this point in time,
  • 00:06:35.153 --> 00:06:36.788
  • But one of them, one of the primary drivers,
  • 00:06:36.788 --> 00:06:38.756
  • Is the fact that under the biden administration,
  • 00:06:38.756 --> 00:06:40.892
  • Illegal immigration was out of control.
  • 00:06:40.892 --> 00:06:43.361
  • A public safety suffered as a result,
  • 00:06:43.361 --> 00:06:45.497
  • And it was one of the core campaign
  • 00:06:45.497 --> 00:06:47.031
  • Promises of president trump
  • 00:06:47.031 --> 00:06:48.366
  • Not only presented to the american people,
  • 00:06:48.366 --> 00:06:50.034
  • But they overwhelmingly voted for him for.
  • 00:06:50.034 --> 00:06:51.769
  • So he's making good on that promise.
  • 00:06:51.769 --> 00:06:54.639
  • And, and now we're seeing the process unfold,
  • 00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.610
  • And it's hard to believe.
  • 00:06:58.610 --> 00:07:00.178
  • Today marks one year of that trump presidency.
  • 00:07:00.178 --> 00:07:02.914
  • And there's been a lot of things
  • 00:07:02.914 --> 00:07:03.948
  • That have happened over the last year.
  • 00:07:03.948 --> 00:07:05.416
  • Sometimes these weeks feel like years based on how much,
  • 00:07:05.416 --> 00:07:07.819
  • How much events he packs into them.
  • 00:07:07.819 --> 00:07:09.287
  • So never a dull moment.
  • 00:07:09.287 --> 00:07:11.189
  • That is god's truth.
  • 00:07:11.656 --> 00:07:13.725
  • We heard
  • 00:07:13.725 --> 00:07:14.626
  • Peter schweitzer at the top of the show,
  • 00:07:14.626 --> 00:07:15.727
  • Who's documented
  • 00:07:15.727 --> 00:07:16.895
  • The vast amount of money that rich socialists like george
  • 00:07:16.895 --> 00:07:19.998
  • Soros have spent to assemble these protest armies,
  • 00:07:19.998 --> 00:07:23.401
  • To go from city to city, causing trouble.
  • 00:07:23.401 --> 00:07:26.170
  • National socialism is their gold.
  • 00:07:26.170 --> 00:07:28.940
  • Does america really understand that yet?
  • 00:07:28.940 --> 00:07:31.009
  • And how insidious this has become?
  • 00:07:31.009 --> 00:07:33.645
  • Well, we thought we'd end it.
  • 00:07:33.645 --> 00:07:34.913
  • Socialism with the fall of the ussr.
  • 00:07:34.913 --> 00:07:37.849
  • 30 some odd years ago.
  • 00:07:37.849 --> 00:07:39.017
  • And then yo yo wake up a few decades
  • 00:07:39.017 --> 00:07:41.052
  • On and all of a sudden it's become the, the cool thing,
  • 00:07:41.052 --> 00:07:43.354
  • At least in some of these really blue cities.
  • 00:07:43.354 --> 00:07:44.856
  • Look at new york city.
  • 00:07:44.856 --> 00:07:46.157
  • They elected a socialist mayor.
  • 00:07:46.157 --> 00:07:49.127
  • And zoran mamdani last year.
  • 00:07:49.127 --> 00:07:50.595
  • And he ran against two really solid opponents.
  • 00:07:50.595 --> 00:07:53.331
  • But look, it's it's it's clear that's their vision.
  • 00:07:53.331 --> 00:07:55.967
  • It's clear they do not believe
  • 00:07:55.967 --> 00:07:57.502
  • The socialist democrat extreme vision.
  • 00:07:57.502 --> 00:07:59.237
  • They do not believe in,
  • 00:07:59.237 --> 00:08:00.672
  • Free enterprise or free markets or the ability that someone
  • 00:08:00.672 --> 00:08:03.975
  • The american dream,
  • 00:08:03.975 --> 00:08:05.076
  • Where you could pull yourselves up by your bootstraps,
  • 00:08:05.076 --> 00:08:07.145
  • And make, make, make,
  • 00:08:07.145 --> 00:08:08.479
  • Make whatever you want of your situation in life.
  • 00:08:08.479 --> 00:08:10.281
  • They want the government to choose winners and losers.
  • 00:08:10.281 --> 00:08:13.117
  • And they want a demonized success.
  • 00:08:13.117 --> 00:08:14.485
  • And you're seeing that just play out this week already.
  • 00:08:14.485 --> 00:08:17.422
  • The commonwealth of virginia
  • 00:08:17.422 --> 00:08:18.590
  • Just inaugurated a new democratic governor.
  • 00:08:18.590 --> 00:08:20.491
  • What's one of the first things that democrats in that state do?
  • 00:08:20.491 --> 00:08:22.894
  • They start imposing new taxes across the board.
  • 00:08:22.894 --> 00:08:25.530
  • So look, it's
  • 00:08:25.530 --> 00:08:26.698
  • Becoming a really clear contrast between one side believes
  • 00:08:26.698 --> 00:08:29.834
  • In american freedom, american individualism,
  • 00:08:29.834 --> 00:08:31.703
  • American exceptionalism.
  • 00:08:31.703 --> 00:08:32.937
  • The other side believes in this, this, this collectivism.
  • 00:08:32.937 --> 00:08:35.940
  • As as warren mamdani talked about in his
  • 00:08:35.940 --> 00:08:38.109
  • In his in his inauguration speech in new york city,
  • 00:08:38.109 --> 00:08:40.979
  • A few years ago.
  • 00:08:40.979 --> 00:08:41.946
  • And that'll be the stakes now
  • 00:08:41.946 --> 00:08:43.147
  • In the presidential election that's about to take shape,
  • 00:08:43.147 --> 00:08:45.316
  • In a couple of years, starts to start to form around
  • 00:08:45.316 --> 00:08:47.752
  • Isis quickly adding staff.
  • 00:08:48.319 --> 00:08:50.154
  • And in some cities, the national guard is being used
  • 00:08:50.154 --> 00:08:53.224
  • To help keep the peace and help homeland security.
  • 00:08:53.224 --> 00:08:56.361
  • But in the blue states, they're getting no help.
  • 00:08:56.361 --> 00:08:58.796
  • Zero from the local police
  • 00:08:58.796 --> 00:09:00.331
  • Who are being held back by the liberal mayors.
  • 00:09:00.331 --> 00:09:03.134
  • Is it that ultimately a losing strategy
  • 00:09:03.134 --> 00:09:05.069
  • When the crime becomes more of a campaign issue?
  • 00:09:05.069 --> 00:09:07.038
  • This fall?
  • 00:09:07.038 --> 00:09:08.306
  • Yeah, and having this antagonistic relationship
  • 00:09:08.306 --> 00:09:10.608
  • Between the local
  • 00:09:10.608 --> 00:09:11.676
  • Elected officials and the federal law enforcement
  • 00:09:11.676 --> 00:09:14.112
  • Who are just trying to do their job
  • 00:09:14.112 --> 00:09:15.380
  • And follow orders, that's good for nobody.
  • 00:09:15.380 --> 00:09:17.382
  • Ultimately, by and large, americans want safety.
  • 00:09:17.382 --> 00:09:19.384
  • They want security.
  • 00:09:19.384 --> 00:09:20.485
  • They want their neighborhoods to be free of crime.
  • 00:09:20.485 --> 00:09:21.786
  • They want to be able to live their lives.
  • 00:09:21.786 --> 00:09:23.688
  • They didn't feel as though they were getting that
  • 00:09:23.688 --> 00:09:25.189
  • Under the biden administration.
  • 00:09:25.189 --> 00:09:26.658
  • And the trump administration put forward
  • 00:09:26.658 --> 00:09:28.092
  • A campaign promise of law and order,
  • 00:09:28.092 --> 00:09:30.428
  • And the american people voted it for him.
  • 00:09:30.428 --> 00:09:32.997
  • And now he's trying to execute that and and implement it.
  • 00:09:32.997 --> 00:09:35.533
  • And ultimately, just standing in the way of of folks
  • 00:09:35.533 --> 00:09:38.770
  • And law enforcement attempts to just
  • 00:09:38.770 --> 00:09:40.471
  • Instill a sense of safety, security.
  • 00:09:40.471 --> 00:09:42.407
  • That's not what the american public is going to go for.
  • 00:09:42.407 --> 00:09:44.876
  • Well, affordability was an
  • 00:09:45.443 --> 00:09:46.844
  • Issue long before president trump moved back to washington.
  • 00:09:46.844 --> 00:09:49.947
  • But now the socialist movement, like the one that's
  • 00:09:49.947 --> 00:09:52.383
  • Being given birth with mayor mom donna in new york city,
  • 00:09:52.383 --> 00:09:55.219
  • Is pushing that as another way to try to shut down capitalism.
  • 00:09:55.219 --> 00:09:58.790
  • And the freedom that we have
  • 00:09:58.790 --> 00:10:00.258
  • That's made this country as strong as it is.
  • 00:10:00.258 --> 00:10:02.760
  • Do you agree that the legacy media is helping them with their
  • 00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:06.197
  • Anti anything trump coverage?
  • 00:10:06.197 --> 00:10:09.767
  • Well, the the legacy media is sure know
  • 00:10:09.767 --> 00:10:11.936
  • For mayor mamdani that's for sure that they're
  • 00:10:11.936 --> 00:10:14.105
  • They've been cheering him on from the beginning.
  • 00:10:14.105 --> 00:10:16.307
  • And look ultimately we see we understand how,
  • 00:10:16.307 --> 00:10:20.011
  • How prosperity is created.
  • 00:10:20.011 --> 00:10:21.212
  • We understand how opportunities created
  • 00:10:21.212 --> 00:10:23.114
  • Is not from government policy,
  • 00:10:23.114 --> 00:10:24.348
  • Just not from these government price controls.
  • 00:10:24.348 --> 00:10:26.217
  • It's from allowing those streams to free enterprise,
  • 00:10:26.217 --> 00:10:28.853
  • Allowing private
  • 00:10:28.853 --> 00:10:29.687
  • Sector businesses to grow, thrive,
  • 00:10:29.687 --> 00:10:31.255
  • Give them a sense of security, stability,
  • 00:10:31.255 --> 00:10:33.424
  • The biggest legislative achievement
  • 00:10:33.424 --> 00:10:35.226
  • So far of this administration, this congress, has been that one
  • 00:10:35.226 --> 00:10:37.595
  • Big, beautiful bill last year
  • 00:10:37.595 --> 00:10:38.930
  • And that, by and large, was at its core,
  • 00:10:38.930 --> 00:10:41.632
  • A tax cut across the board for individuals,
  • 00:10:41.632 --> 00:10:43.901
  • A tax cut for small businesses,
  • 00:10:43.901 --> 00:10:45.670
  • And a sense of security and stability.
  • 00:10:45.670 --> 00:10:47.572
  • Understanding the tax code is not going to change every year,
  • 00:10:47.572 --> 00:10:51.109
  • And every member of every member of congress,
  • 00:10:51.109 --> 00:10:53.044
  • The democratic party voted against it.
  • 00:10:53.044 --> 00:10:54.479
  • And by doing so, they supported the largest tax increase,
  • 00:10:54.479 --> 00:10:57.849
  • On american in american history.
  • 00:10:57.849 --> 00:10:59.717
  • And doing that sends a really,
  • 00:10:59.717 --> 00:11:01.552
  • Really scary message to businesses.
  • 00:11:01.552 --> 00:11:03.821
  • By and large, they don't want to vote republican and democrat.
  • 00:11:03.821 --> 00:11:05.923
  • They're not partizan people. they just want to be left alone.
  • 00:11:05.923 --> 00:11:08.526
  • They want the ability to do what they've always done.
  • 00:11:08.526 --> 00:11:10.695
  • And right now they've got a lot of scary
  • 00:11:10.695 --> 00:11:12.430
  • Policies coming out of places like new york city and richmond
  • 00:11:12.430 --> 00:11:15.500
  • With a new democratic mayor there and elsewhere.
  • 00:11:15.500 --> 00:11:17.902
  • So it's it's it's tough times to be a business owner right now.
  • 00:11:17.902 --> 00:11:20.805
  • But that one big, beautiful bill is really going to help.
  • 00:11:20.805 --> 00:11:23.441
  • Okay.
  • 00:11:23.674 --> 00:11:24.609
  • Would you stay with us for another segment?
  • 00:11:24.609 --> 00:11:26.644
  • Sure thing.
  • 00:11:26.644 --> 00:11:27.078
  • Allen.
  • 00:11:27.078 --> 00:11:27.578
  • We'll be right back.
  • 00:11:27.578 --> 00:11:35.999
  • We'll be right back.
  • 00:11:35.999 --> 00:11:41.550
  • We're back now with the very successful
  • 00:11:42.351 --> 00:11:44.319
  • Political strategist, colin reid.
  • 00:11:44.319 --> 00:11:47.122
  • I have a question about greenland,
  • 00:11:47.122 --> 00:11:48.924
  • Which the president is trying to take charge of
  • 00:11:48.924 --> 00:11:51.326
  • To help keep us
  • 00:11:51.326 --> 00:11:52.461
  • And europe safe and out of the hands of putin and china.
  • 00:11:52.461 --> 00:11:56.064
  • But as with anything president trump
  • 00:11:56.064 --> 00:11:57.499
  • Says, there's always seems to be pushback.
  • 00:11:57.499 --> 00:12:00.602
  • Listen to how one of the president's
  • 00:12:00.602 --> 00:12:01.937
  • Men describes the need for greenland
  • 00:12:01.937 --> 00:12:04.239
  • To be a part of, under our influence
  • 00:12:04.239 --> 00:12:06.408
  • With respect to greenland, the president has a strong view
  • 00:12:06.408 --> 00:12:09.278
  • That it's a national security matter for the u.s.
  • 00:12:09.278 --> 00:12:11.380
  • To have more control over greenland.
  • 00:12:11.380 --> 00:12:13.148
  • And i'm confident that in the end, he's
  • 00:12:13.148 --> 00:12:15.083
  • Going to negotiate a deal that's great
  • 00:12:15.083 --> 00:12:16.819
  • For us and great for our partners.
  • 00:12:16.819 --> 00:12:19.254
  • Colin, do you think the american people
  • 00:12:19.254 --> 00:12:20.789
  • Have any real idea of what china and russia are trying to do,
  • 00:12:20.789 --> 00:12:24.193
  • Even with what's going on in ukraine and in china?
  • 00:12:24.193 --> 00:12:26.762
  • China's massive military buildup.
  • 00:12:26.762 --> 00:12:29.231
  • Well, already in 2026 out.
  • 00:12:29.231 --> 00:12:31.400
  • And the president's been really clear
  • 00:12:31.400 --> 00:12:33.001
  • That mess around in that western hemisphere of the end and do
  • 00:12:33.001 --> 00:12:36.638
  • So at your own peril.
  • 00:12:36.638 --> 00:12:37.739
  • Ask nicolas maduro, who's
  • 00:12:37.739 --> 00:12:39.041
  • Now rotting in a new york city jail cell
  • 00:12:39.041 --> 00:12:41.343
  • After wreaking havoc on his people in venezuela for so long.
  • 00:12:41.343 --> 00:12:44.446
  • And in a blink of an eye, he's gone.
  • 00:12:44.446 --> 00:12:46.548
  • Venezuela has brighter day and fast, hostile adversaries
  • 00:12:46.548 --> 00:12:50.819
  • Like russia, china, north korea, iran are back on their heels.
  • 00:12:50.819 --> 00:12:54.523
  • Make no mistake, venezuela was just a stalking horse
  • 00:12:54.523 --> 00:12:57.459
  • For those countries who wanted to do us harm.
  • 00:12:57.459 --> 00:13:00.162
  • They were essentially china's gas station.
  • 00:13:00.162 --> 00:13:02.631
  • And now that country's got a brighter day.
  • 00:13:02.631 --> 00:13:04.900
  • And then look as it relates to greenland.
  • 00:13:04.900 --> 00:13:06.802
  • You think that all of president trump
  • 00:13:06.802 --> 00:13:08.437
  • Supposed to learn by now, this is how he negotiates,
  • 00:13:08.437 --> 00:13:10.539
  • This is how he operates.
  • 00:13:10.539 --> 00:13:11.840
  • And rather than lose their mind and all the collective outrage,
  • 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.444
  • They will let the process play out and see where it goes.
  • 00:13:15.444 --> 00:13:18.747
  • And but ultimately, you see just as collective
  • 00:13:18.747 --> 00:13:21.850
  • Just they, they just don't understand
  • 00:13:21.850 --> 00:13:23.285
  • That this is how president trump operates.
  • 00:13:23.285 --> 00:13:25.020
  • This is how we negotiate, and this is how you move
  • 00:13:25.020 --> 00:13:27.189
  • Toward a policy objective here.
  • 00:13:27.189 --> 00:13:28.690
  • So, we'll see where it goes.
  • 00:13:28.690 --> 00:13:30.592
  • Well, the country is as politically divided as it's ever
  • 00:13:31.660 --> 00:13:34.529
  • Been.
  • 00:13:34.529 --> 00:13:35.364
  • There are a lot of balls in the air
  • 00:13:35.364 --> 00:13:36.765
  • From peace negotiations with the world
  • 00:13:36.765 --> 00:13:38.901
  • To the price of gas here at home.
  • 00:13:38.901 --> 00:13:41.069
  • Where do you think the country is headed this year,
  • 00:13:41.069 --> 00:13:43.305
  • Especially if the economy improves?
  • 00:13:43.305 --> 00:13:45.374
  • The debt
  • 00:13:45.374 --> 00:13:46.575
  • Turns around and more criminals are taken off the streets.
  • 00:13:46.575 --> 00:13:49.244
  • Yeah.
  • 00:13:49.478 --> 00:13:50.579
  • I mean, in the past year alone, the last 365 days.
  • 00:13:50.579 --> 00:13:52.514
  • Look at two specific things president ran on
  • 00:13:52.514 --> 00:13:55.017
  • And the president one on one southern border.
  • 00:13:55.017 --> 00:13:57.452
  • It was closed almost overnight.
  • 00:13:57.452 --> 00:13:59.454
  • And that's an accomplishment
  • 00:13:59.454 --> 00:14:00.656
  • That i think people have almost forgotten about.
  • 00:14:00.656 --> 00:14:02.190
  • But if you look back four years ago,
  • 00:14:02.190 --> 00:14:03.825
  • How bad it was with the biden years, it's it's
  • 00:14:03.825 --> 00:14:06.595
  • An important metric of both our safety and sovereignty.
  • 00:14:06.595 --> 00:14:10.532
  • And then secondly, gas prices,
  • 00:14:10.532 --> 00:14:11.900
  • Right now they're just shade under 280.
  • 00:14:11.900 --> 00:14:14.202
  • During the biden years, they were over $5 a gallon.
  • 00:14:14.202 --> 00:14:17.539
  • And that didn't happen by accident.
  • 00:14:17.539 --> 00:14:18.907
  • The biden administration pushed a series of policies
  • 00:14:18.907 --> 00:14:21.043
  • That punished
  • 00:14:21.043 --> 00:14:22.311
  • American energy and pushed us all into this ridiculous, green
  • 00:14:22.311 --> 00:14:25.714
  • Technology that nobody wants and isn't ready for.
  • 00:14:25.714 --> 00:14:29.284
  • Second you come in, president trump claims,
  • 00:14:29.284 --> 00:14:30.852
  • And he declares a national energy emergency.
  • 00:14:30.852 --> 00:14:32.788
  • A year later, gas prices are down
  • 00:14:32.788 --> 00:14:34.156
  • And potentially poised to fall even further.
  • 00:14:34.156 --> 00:14:36.058
  • So those are two really impressive accomplishments.
  • 00:14:36.058 --> 00:14:38.927
  • Is it look ahead to the year ahead.
  • 00:14:38.927 --> 00:14:40.228
  • Inflation.
  • 00:14:40.228 --> 00:14:41.096
  • It was at 9% under the biden years.
  • 00:14:41.096 --> 00:14:43.398
  • At one point.
  • 00:14:43.398 --> 00:14:44.633
  • It was just destroying middle class families pocketbooks.
  • 00:14:44.633 --> 00:14:46.435
  • Right now is a shade under three.
  • 00:14:46.435 --> 00:14:48.070
  • And i know the president's committed
  • 00:14:48.070 --> 00:14:49.237
  • To bringing that down and giving people
  • 00:14:49.237 --> 00:14:51.340
  • The economic relief they feel as prices come down.
  • 00:14:51.340 --> 00:14:53.642
  • So a lot has been done in the first year.
  • 00:14:53.642 --> 00:14:55.577
  • But look, this guy is someone who's been there before.
  • 00:14:55.577 --> 00:14:57.779
  • He understands that you've got a limited amount of time,
  • 00:14:57.779 --> 00:15:00.082
  • Three years left to do all the things he wants to do.
  • 00:15:00.082 --> 00:15:02.117
  • So i expect this breakneck speed to get faster, not slower.
  • 00:15:02.117 --> 00:15:05.554
  • Well, as you mentioned, this is the one year anniversary
  • 00:15:06.621 --> 00:15:09.358
  • Of the beginning of president trump's second term.
  • 00:15:09.358 --> 00:15:11.660
  • You're the political expert.
  • 00:15:11.660 --> 00:15:14.363
  • What has surprised you the most out of this year?
  • 00:15:14.363 --> 00:15:16.965
  • It's been a year like no other.
  • 00:15:16.965 --> 00:15:19.468
  • What are the highlights for you?
  • 00:15:19.468 --> 00:15:21.670
  • Well, you can't get surprised.
  • 00:15:21.670 --> 00:15:22.838
  • In the trump era. it's always something new happening.
  • 00:15:22.838 --> 00:15:24.639
  • Who would have thought
  • 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:25.340
  • The sitting here three weeks ago
  • 00:15:25.340 --> 00:15:26.608
  • That nicolas maduro will be taken out of power,
  • 00:15:26.608 --> 00:15:29.077
  • And that wouldn't even be the lead story
  • 00:15:29.077 --> 00:15:30.812
  • On the newspapers right now.
  • 00:15:30.812 --> 00:15:32.147
  • So i think what this president has been able
  • 00:15:32.147 --> 00:15:34.049
  • To do on the international stage
  • 00:15:34.049 --> 00:15:35.584
  • Is one that a lot of folks didn't see coming.
  • 00:15:35.584 --> 00:15:37.786
  • Economically, he's he's he's he's making good on the promises
  • 00:15:37.786 --> 00:15:41.023
  • He kept.
  • 00:15:41.023 --> 00:15:42.024
  • And then i would keep an eye on on tax day.
  • 00:15:42.024 --> 00:15:43.759
  • That's why on april 15th i know it's a painful day for many.
  • 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.862
  • It's a it's a painful process
  • 00:15:46.862 --> 00:15:48.563
  • Pulling a lot of documents together.
  • 00:15:48.563 --> 00:15:49.798
  • But that's when people are going to start
  • 00:15:49.798 --> 00:15:50.999
  • Really feeling the impact of that one day. beautiful pill.
  • 00:15:50.999 --> 00:15:53.201
  • A lot of the important provisions
  • 00:15:53.201 --> 00:15:54.436
  • That passed during there,
  • 00:15:54.436 --> 00:15:55.437
  • And that's when i think you might see
  • 00:15:55.437 --> 00:15:56.571
  • People start to feel a little bit better
  • 00:15:56.571 --> 00:15:57.906
  • About their economic well-being.
  • 00:15:57.906 --> 00:15:59.174
  • And that good policy tends to lead to good politics
  • 00:15:59.174 --> 00:16:01.410
  • For those who were responsible for, for the policy
  • 00:16:01.410 --> 00:16:04.746
  • Becoming law.
  • 00:16:04.746 --> 00:16:05.914
  • Well, trump
  • 00:16:06.248 --> 00:16:07.416
  • Is headed to davos for that great globalist gathering.
  • 00:16:07.416 --> 00:16:10.452
  • If you could give him some counsel,
  • 00:16:10.452 --> 00:16:13.321
  • You have any coaching for him before he addresses that group.
  • 00:16:13.321 --> 00:16:16.391
  • I think the president knows what he's doing on the world stage.
  • 00:16:16.391 --> 00:16:18.660
  • He knows what he's doing.
  • 00:16:18.660 --> 00:16:19.494
  • Many of these leaders
  • 00:16:19.494 --> 00:16:20.429
  • Were laughing at him in their first term,
  • 00:16:20.429 --> 00:16:22.030
  • And they viewed him as an aberration.
  • 00:16:22.030 --> 00:16:23.899
  • They viewed him as someone
  • 00:16:23.899 --> 00:16:24.866
  • That would just be a blip on the radar.
  • 00:16:24.866 --> 00:16:26.835
  • I think, 6 or 7 years later, now, having come back
  • 00:16:26.835 --> 00:16:29.538
  • From what he's come back from, i think they've
  • 00:16:29.538 --> 00:16:31.740
  • They've learned to take him
  • 00:16:31.740 --> 00:16:33.141
  • Seriously and understand that he means business.
  • 00:16:33.141 --> 00:16:36.645
  • Well, call and thank you for joining us.
  • 00:16:36.645 --> 00:16:38.380
  • We'll see you again soon.
  • 00:16:38.380 --> 00:16:40.282
  • Thanks. i appreciate the invite.
  • 00:16:40.282 --> 00:16:42.317
  • In a moment, the people talk back.
  • 00:16:42.317 --> 00:16:44.119
  • We got a stack of your emails,
  • 00:16:44.119 --> 00:16:46.088
  • And i'll answer as many of them as i can.
  • 00:16:46.088 --> 00:16:48.390
  • We'll be back in a moment.
  • 00:16:48.390 --> 00:16:56.991
  • We'll be back in a moment.
  • 00:16:56.991 --> 00:17:00.804
  • Thank you for taking the time to send us your thoughts.
  • 00:17:01.872 --> 00:17:04.441
  • Your questions.
  • 00:17:04.441 --> 00:17:05.409
  • Your emails are always a highlight.
  • 00:17:05.409 --> 00:17:07.644
  • Ruth from apple valley said, pastor allen, i'm
  • 00:17:07.644 --> 00:17:10.380
  • Watching your morning ministry where you talk about god moving,
  • 00:17:10.380 --> 00:17:14.051
  • But your explanations are
  • 00:17:14.051 --> 00:17:15.385
  • Helping us to know where or when he's moving.
  • 00:17:15.385 --> 00:17:18.222
  • All i see now is god is allowing all these wars,
  • 00:17:18.222 --> 00:17:20.791
  • Protests and countries
  • 00:17:20.791 --> 00:17:22.059
  • Changing to persecute war worse than they did before.
  • 00:17:22.059 --> 00:17:25.996
  • Is that what you meant when you said
  • 00:17:25.996 --> 00:17:27.464
  • God is moving in the earth?
  • 00:17:27.464 --> 00:17:29.166
  • Not exactly. ruth.
  • 00:17:29.166 --> 00:17:30.467
  • I think god is moving in some amazing ways for our good.
  • 00:17:30.467 --> 00:17:34.338
  • There are things that have been hidden
  • 00:17:34.338 --> 00:17:35.339
  • In the darkness for decades
  • 00:17:35.339 --> 00:17:36.940
  • That are being brought to the light.
  • 00:17:36.940 --> 00:17:38.475
  • Sometimes it's uncomfortable, but when the truth is told,
  • 00:17:38.475 --> 00:17:42.045
  • When you get a good diagnosis,
  • 00:17:42.045 --> 00:17:43.413
  • You have the hope of getting to a resolution.
  • 00:17:43.413 --> 00:17:46.216
  • Things that have been hidden,
  • 00:17:46.216 --> 00:17:47.417
  • The fraud that has come to to the surface in recent weeks.
  • 00:17:47.417 --> 00:17:50.954
  • Billions and billions of dollars being stolen
  • 00:17:50.954 --> 00:17:54.057
  • From the american people.
  • 00:17:54.057 --> 00:17:55.826
  • Well, once we know that the stealing has been happening,
  • 00:17:55.826 --> 00:17:57.761
  • It can be stopped as long as it's hidden.
  • 00:17:57.761 --> 00:17:59.997
  • It'll keep going.
  • 00:17:59.997 --> 00:18:02.032
  • We've heard so
  • 00:18:02.366 --> 00:18:03.567
  • Many lies that have been exposed at the border was secure.
  • 00:18:03.567 --> 00:18:06.270
  • The border wasn't secure.
  • 00:18:06.270 --> 00:18:07.905
  • But it is now.
  • 00:18:07.905 --> 00:18:09.273
  • We were told that inflation was transient,
  • 00:18:09.273 --> 00:18:11.808
  • That we shouldn't believe
  • 00:18:11.808 --> 00:18:12.743
  • What we were watching at the supermarket.
  • 00:18:12.743 --> 00:18:15.145
  • It wasn't transient.
  • 00:18:15.145 --> 00:18:16.380
  • But thank god
  • 00:18:16.380 --> 00:18:17.414
  • There have been economic policies put in place
  • 00:18:17.414 --> 00:18:19.149
  • To give us a brighter economic future.
  • 00:18:19.149 --> 00:18:22.219
  • There's a whole host of ways internationally god's doing
  • 00:18:22.219 --> 00:18:24.655
  • Remarkable things.
  • 00:18:24.655 --> 00:18:25.822
  • Venezuela there.
  • 00:18:25.822 --> 00:18:27.090
  • There's communist, socialist leader has been removed.
  • 00:18:27.090 --> 00:18:31.562
  • And there's hope for the people of venezuela
  • 00:18:31.562 --> 00:18:33.363
  • In a way that there hasn't been for decades in the middle east.
  • 00:18:33.363 --> 00:18:37.367
  • Iran and their terror proxies have been neutralized.
  • 00:18:37.367 --> 00:18:40.704
  • Hezbollah is is not the threat they have been for decades.
  • 00:18:40.704 --> 00:18:44.208
  • Hamas has lost their stranglehold.
  • 00:18:44.208 --> 00:18:47.344
  • The people of gaza have the potential of a freedom,
  • 00:18:47.344 --> 00:18:50.814
  • A future free from terrorism,
  • 00:18:50.814 --> 00:18:53.817
  • Of the abraham accords across the middle east.
  • 00:18:53.817 --> 00:18:56.553
  • At home,
  • 00:18:56.553 --> 00:18:57.754
  • We have a legitimate hope of significant education reform.
  • 00:18:57.754 --> 00:19:01.491
  • The teachers unions, their power and their fraudulent behavior
  • 00:19:01.491 --> 00:19:04.661
  • Is being exposed.
  • 00:19:04.661 --> 00:19:06.430
  • The list goes on and on.
  • 00:19:06.430 --> 00:19:08.232
  • Bobby kennedy, what?
  • 00:19:08.232 --> 00:19:09.199
  • He's doing for our health.
  • 00:19:09.199 --> 00:19:11.235
  • They have been feeding us a fraudulent food
  • 00:19:11.235 --> 00:19:14.504
  • Pyramid for decades. it's been exposed.
  • 00:19:14.504 --> 00:19:17.207
  • Our children are being subjected to fewer vaccines.
  • 00:19:17.207 --> 00:19:20.877
  • God is moving in the earth.
  • 00:19:20.877 --> 00:19:23.247
  • We've just been so limited.
  • 00:19:23.247 --> 00:19:24.615
  • We thought the only thing god moved out
  • 00:19:24.615 --> 00:19:26.316
  • Was when someone made a profession of faith.
  • 00:19:26.316 --> 00:19:28.552
  • I'm grateful for every conversion,
  • 00:19:28.552 --> 00:19:30.387
  • But we need god's help across our culture.
  • 00:19:30.387 --> 00:19:33.323
  • And god is moving.
  • 00:19:33.323 --> 00:19:36.526
  • Dixie noted.
  • 00:19:36.860 --> 00:19:37.961
  • We're watching the protesters in iran
  • 00:19:37.961 --> 00:19:39.730
  • Fighting for their democracy and freedom.
  • 00:19:39.730 --> 00:19:41.698
  • Pastors and leaders in this nation
  • 00:19:41.698 --> 00:19:43.200
  • Not sounding the alarm
  • 00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:44.968
  • About the islamic invasion in our country.
  • 00:19:44.968 --> 00:19:47.471
  • If we continue
  • 00:19:47.471 --> 00:19:48.572
  • To do nothing about this invasion in 3 or 4 years,
  • 00:19:48.572 --> 00:19:51.141
  • We could be the people in the streets
  • 00:19:51.141 --> 00:19:52.442
  • Protesting to take our country and our freedoms back.
  • 00:19:52.442 --> 00:19:55.545
  • I agree, dixie,
  • 00:19:55.545 --> 00:19:56.647
  • We need to have the courage to say that our faith
  • 00:19:56.647 --> 00:19:58.415
  • Has brought a good thing to our nation.
  • 00:19:58.415 --> 00:20:01.151
  • And finally, joan from fredericksburg, texas.
  • 00:20:01.151 --> 00:20:03.153
  • Could you help me understand?
  • 00:20:03.153 --> 00:20:05.522
  • As i understand it, the jews are god's
  • 00:20:05.522 --> 00:20:07.124
  • Chosen people,
  • 00:20:07.124 --> 00:20:08.091
  • But they're denied entrance to heaven due
  • 00:20:08.091 --> 00:20:09.293
  • To their lack of belief that jesus is the messiah.
  • 00:20:09.293 --> 00:20:12.162
  • Well, jesus said, no one comes to the father except through me.
  • 00:20:12.162 --> 00:20:14.831
  • That's true for jew and gentile.
  • 00:20:14.831 --> 00:20:16.800
  • We want the jewish people to meet their messiah.
  • 00:20:16.800 --> 00:20:19.169
  • His name is jesus of nazareth.
  • 00:20:19.169 --> 00:20:21.571
  • That's the hope in all of our hearts.
  • 00:20:21.571 --> 00:20:23.607
  • Well, thank you for spending a few minutes with us.
  • 00:20:23.607 --> 00:20:25.876
  • I'm alan jackson, and i pray you have a good evening.
  • 00:20:25.876 --> 00:20:25.876
