Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Socialist Pitch | Allen Jackson Now | August 11, 2025
  • Good evening, and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:00:05.130 --> 00:00:07.199
  • I'm alan jackson.
  • 00:00:07.199 --> 00:00:08.733
  • It's been an unpredictable summer, weather wise,
  • 00:00:08.733 --> 00:00:11.603
  • But that hasn't stopped the tourists
  • 00:00:11.603 --> 00:00:13.338
  • From flocking to the nation's capital.
  • 00:00:13.338 --> 00:00:15.740
  • The cherry blossoms brought big crowds in the spring.
  • 00:00:15.740 --> 00:00:18.143
  • And when school let out,
  • 00:00:18.143 --> 00:00:19.511
  • The tours of the white house, the air and space museum
  • 00:00:19.511 --> 00:00:22.247
  • And the smithsonian, they filled up vast.
  • 00:00:22.247 --> 00:00:25.350
  • But the big attraction is the u.s.
  • 00:00:25.350 --> 00:00:27.018
  • Capitol.
  • 00:00:27.018 --> 00:00:27.986
  • The great dome has been fully restored,
  • 00:00:27.986 --> 00:00:30.055
  • And the big building has been busy for weeks.
  • 00:00:30.055 --> 00:00:33.024
  • Rooms full of tourists,
  • 00:00:33.024 --> 00:00:34.226
  • House and senate members
  • 00:00:34.226 --> 00:00:35.527
  • And their staffs rushing through the hallways
  • 00:00:35.527 --> 00:00:37.829
  • Trying to keep up with the new agenda of our president.
  • 00:00:37.829 --> 00:00:41.366
  • It's democracy in action, as they say.
  • 00:00:41.366 --> 00:00:44.202
  • But that democracy is also coming under attack
  • 00:00:44.202 --> 00:00:47.405
  • With clear evidence right there in the halls of the capitol.
  • 00:00:47.405 --> 00:00:51.343
  • Well, how does that happen?
  • 00:00:51.343 --> 00:00:53.411
  • Well, the democrats invited an avowed socialist
  • 00:00:53.411 --> 00:00:56.081
  • To come meet with them.
  • 00:00:56.081 --> 00:00:57.616
  • And by all accounts, he got a hero's welcome.
  • 00:00:57.616 --> 00:01:00.418
  • I'm talking about zoran mamdani,
  • 00:01:00.418 --> 00:01:02.187
  • The socialist nominee for new york's mayor.
  • 00:01:02.187 --> 00:01:05.423
  • The democrats not only listen, they took notes.
  • 00:01:05.423 --> 00:01:08.226
  • They asked him what his secret was to such instant success.
  • 00:01:08.226 --> 00:01:12.464
  • Socialism being celebrated right there in our own u.s.
  • 00:01:12.464 --> 00:01:15.267
  • Capitol.
  • 00:01:15.267 --> 00:01:16.201
  • Brought to you by one of the two major u.s.
  • 00:01:16.201 --> 00:01:18.036
  • Political parties.
  • 00:01:18.036 --> 00:01:19.671
  • And right there with the tourist from all parts of the country
  • 00:01:19.671 --> 00:01:22.574
  • Who surely didn't go there
  • 00:01:22.574 --> 00:01:23.909
  • To see the next stalin or fidel castro.
  • 00:01:23.909 --> 00:01:27.579
  • Well,
  • 00:01:27.812 --> 00:01:28.680
  • That brings us to our guest tonight,
  • 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:29.915
  • The man who's represented our country in politics and in war
  • 00:01:29.915 --> 00:01:33.418
  • To protect our democracy from the great state of texas.
  • 00:01:33.418 --> 00:01:36.688
  • I want to welcome back colonel allen west.
  • 00:01:36.688 --> 00:01:39.224
  • Welcome back, sir.
  • 00:01:39.224 --> 00:01:41.026
  • Pastor jackson, it's great to be with you.
  • 00:01:41.026 --> 00:01:42.661
  • Thank you so much.
  • 00:01:42.661 --> 00:01:44.062
  • Colonel west, can you imagine
  • 00:01:44.696 --> 00:01:46.198
  • The families touring our great u.s.
  • 00:01:46.198 --> 00:01:47.799
  • Capitol but witnessing a sales pitch on socialism instead?
  • 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:51.002
  • It seems unthinkable to me.
  • 00:01:51.002 --> 00:01:53.305
  • Yeah, it absolutely does.
  • 00:01:53.305 --> 00:01:54.506
  • And just imagine if you were a veteran
  • 00:01:54.506 --> 00:01:56.808
  • Who was visiting the capitol at the time
  • 00:01:56.808 --> 00:01:58.877
  • And you're a veteran from the cold war era
  • 00:01:58.877 --> 00:02:01.680
  • When you stood alone,
  • 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:02.881
  • Freedom's ramparts against the old iron curtain,
  • 00:02:02.881 --> 00:02:05.951
  • Against marxism
  • 00:02:05.951 --> 00:02:07.152
  • And socialism and communism, you saw that wall come down
  • 00:02:07.152 --> 00:02:10.088
  • Just so they could creep and come right here
  • 00:02:10.088 --> 00:02:13.258
  • Into our nation's capital.
  • 00:02:13.258 --> 00:02:14.459
  • I remember as a young lieutenant
  • 00:02:14.459 --> 00:02:16.027
  • Going through checkpoint charlie and over to east berlin,
  • 00:02:16.027 --> 00:02:19.731
  • And i see what it looks like on the other side of that wall.
  • 00:02:19.731 --> 00:02:22.801
  • And it's not a pretty picture.
  • 00:02:22.801 --> 00:02:24.302
  • But when we fail to learn our history,
  • 00:02:24.302 --> 00:02:26.304
  • When we're not talking about the things
  • 00:02:26.304 --> 00:02:28.506
  • That we have confronted in the past,
  • 00:02:28.506 --> 00:02:30.375
  • This is what we allow to happen.
  • 00:02:30.375 --> 00:02:31.710
  • And it was george santayana who once said, those
  • 00:02:31.710 --> 00:02:34.312
  • Who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
  • 00:02:34.312 --> 00:02:36.648
  • Well, you said that you heard a democratic congressman
  • 00:02:37.682 --> 00:02:40.518
  • Who were treating him like some sort of a rock star,
  • 00:02:40.518 --> 00:02:43.588
  • Asking for his tips
  • 00:02:43.588 --> 00:02:44.723
  • On how to attract media to try to save their party.
  • 00:02:44.723 --> 00:02:47.926
  • A party with an approval rating of less than 20%, i might add.
  • 00:02:47.926 --> 00:02:51.763
  • Can you tell us what you heard?
  • 00:02:51.763 --> 00:02:53.999
  • Sure.
  • 00:02:53.999 --> 00:02:54.666
  • Well, i mean, he's just this
  • 00:02:54.666 --> 00:02:55.767
  • Charismatic leader and all socialist, marxist,
  • 00:02:55.767 --> 00:02:59.037
  • Communist leaders have been quite charismatic.
  • 00:02:59.037 --> 00:03:01.773
  • You talked about fidel castro.
  • 00:03:01.773 --> 00:03:03.708
  • And let's not forget che guevara
  • 00:03:03.708 --> 00:03:05.677
  • And some of these other leaders that were very charismatic.
  • 00:03:05.677 --> 00:03:08.747
  • They always promised
  • 00:03:08.747 --> 00:03:09.948
  • Everything under the sun, because that's what those, forms
  • 00:03:09.948 --> 00:03:13.618
  • And systems of governance is about, totalitarian control.
  • 00:03:13.618 --> 00:03:16.955
  • But the thing is,
  • 00:03:16.955 --> 00:03:18.623
  • I mean, he's talking about how great he is on social media.
  • 00:03:18.623 --> 00:03:22.260
  • He's able to appeal to the young people.
  • 00:03:22.260 --> 00:03:24.029
  • It's very simple.
  • 00:03:24.029 --> 00:03:25.130
  • When you, as rush limbaugh once said, it's very hard
  • 00:03:25.130 --> 00:03:28.166
  • To run against santa claus.
  • 00:03:28.166 --> 00:03:29.367
  • And that's exactly what he is talking about.
  • 00:03:29.367 --> 00:03:31.536
  • But eventually, just like,
  • 00:03:31.536 --> 00:03:33.471
  • We have done with our children, pastor,
  • 00:03:33.471 --> 00:03:35.573
  • We have told them not to touch the hot stove.
  • 00:03:35.573 --> 00:03:38.076
  • If we touch this hot stove, we'r
  • 00:03:38.076 --> 00:03:41.513
  • Well, it was reported that elizabeth warren
  • 00:03:42.380 --> 00:03:44.449
  • Was praising them, donnie, for his rent control ideas.
  • 00:03:44.449 --> 00:03:47.719
  • She's had a long habit of criticizing capitalism.
  • 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.322
  • It seems to me. is that your perspective?
  • 00:03:50.322 --> 00:03:53.291
  • Yeah. absolutely. right.
  • 00:03:53.291 --> 00:03:54.359
  • I mean, you have to understand
  • 00:03:54.359 --> 00:03:55.593
  • That marxism branches off into two different philosophies.
  • 00:03:55.593 --> 00:03:59.097
  • There's socialism, which is the economic model
  • 00:03:59.097 --> 00:04:01.833
  • Which talks about wealth redistribution.
  • 00:04:01.833 --> 00:04:04.235
  • It talks about,
  • 00:04:04.235 --> 00:04:05.337
  • Nationalizing the means of production,
  • 00:04:05.337 --> 00:04:07.706
  • Economic means of production,
  • 00:04:07.706 --> 00:04:09.341
  • The creation of a welfare nanny state,
  • 00:04:09.341 --> 00:04:11.609
  • Social egalitarianism, and, of course, secular humanism.
  • 00:04:11.609 --> 00:04:14.546
  • But that leads to the societal model, which is communism.
  • 00:04:14.546 --> 00:04:17.615
  • And so when you talk about rent control, guess what happens?
  • 00:04:17.615 --> 00:04:21.353
  • Why should anyone want to go in and improve
  • 00:04:21.353 --> 00:04:24.389
  • Their rental property
  • 00:04:24.389 --> 00:04:26.091
  • In their building, if they know that they
  • 00:04:26.091 --> 00:04:27.926
  • Are locked in by government decree
  • 00:04:27.926 --> 00:04:30.228
  • To a certain amount that they can,
  • 00:04:30.228 --> 00:04:32.330
  • You know, charge for people to be there.
  • 00:04:32.330 --> 00:04:34.232
  • So just the same as i saw in east berlin,
  • 00:04:34.232 --> 00:04:36.401
  • You're going to see rundown buildings
  • 00:04:36.401 --> 00:04:37.802
  • That let us never forget
  • 00:04:37.802 --> 00:04:39.237
  • A place called cabrini green in chicago,
  • 00:04:39.237 --> 00:04:41.773
  • Which ended up being torn down because of the decrepit
  • 00:04:41.773 --> 00:04:44.809
  • And deplorable conditions that it had become.
  • 00:04:44.809 --> 00:04:48.480
  • Well, there's another thing i'd like to get you to comment on.
  • 00:04:49.647 --> 00:04:52.317
  • A few thousand feet from
  • 00:04:52.317 --> 00:04:53.518
  • The capital is the big train station, union station.
  • 00:04:53.518 --> 00:04:56.888
  • That's where mom, donnie's islamic
  • 00:04:56.888 --> 00:04:58.456
  • Jihadist friends tore down the u.s.
  • 00:04:58.456 --> 00:05:00.358
  • Flag and put up the flag of hamas.
  • 00:05:00.358 --> 00:05:02.994
  • Is that who is followers are rooting for?
  • 00:05:02.994 --> 00:05:05.897
  • Yes, absolutely.
  • 00:05:05.897 --> 00:05:06.998
  • So, i mean, they want to see this
  • 00:05:06.998 --> 00:05:09.167
  • Anti-semitic islamic jihadis, become the mayor
  • 00:05:09.167 --> 00:05:13.004
  • Of the most popular city in the united states of america,
  • 00:05:13.004 --> 00:05:16.641
  • The largest city, and that is asian-american new york city.
  • 00:05:16.641 --> 00:05:19.177
  • And just think about this.
  • 00:05:19.177 --> 00:05:20.445
  • Here is someone that praises hamas, supports
  • 00:05:20.445 --> 00:05:23.114
  • Hamas, talked about globalization of the intifada,
  • 00:05:23.114 --> 00:05:26.251
  • When it was not too long ago, a september 11th of the 2001
  • 00:05:26.251 --> 00:05:29.487
  • Islamic jihadis took down those two world trade towers.
  • 00:05:29.487 --> 00:05:33.224
  • But how quickly we have forgotten,
  • 00:05:33.224 --> 00:05:35.593
  • And we're about to elevate him into a position of incredible
  • 00:05:35.593 --> 00:05:39.230
  • Responsibility and leadership.
  • 00:05:39.230 --> 00:05:41.266
  • So he's going to win this election right now.
  • 00:05:41.266 --> 00:05:43.701
  • When you look at the numbers
  • 00:05:43.701 --> 00:05:44.969
  • And i kind of believe
  • 00:05:44.969 --> 00:05:45.970
  • That we need to experience this so that we never
  • 00:05:45.970 --> 00:05:48.506
  • Allow it to take root.
  • 00:05:48.506 --> 00:05:50.108
  • Well, colonel west, i hope
  • 00:05:50.675 --> 00:05:51.876
  • You'll stay with us for another segment.
  • 00:05:51.876 --> 00:05:53.311
  • We've got more to discuss.
  • 00:05:53.311 --> 00:05:55.647
  • In the meantime, you can jump
  • 00:05:55.647 --> 00:05:57.182
  • On this conversation by going to aj now.com.
  • 00:05:57.182 --> 00:06:00.485
  • Just send me an email
  • 00:06:00.485 --> 00:06:01.653
  • Or share the links from previous shows with your friends.
  • 00:06:01.653 --> 00:06:04.589
  • We want to reach as many people as possible.
  • 00:06:04.589 --> 00:06:06.624
  • We can grow the truth with your help.
  • 00:06:06.624 --> 00:06:09.027
  • Well, i'll be back with colonel west in just a moment.
  • 00:06:09.027 --> 00:06:18.008
  • Well, i'll be back with colonel west in just a moment.
  • 00:06:18.008 --> 00:06:22.810
  • We're back now with colonel allen west.
  • 00:06:23.611 --> 00:06:26.147
  • He's the chairman of the dallas county gop and the executive
  • 00:06:26.147 --> 00:06:29.550
  • Director of the american constitutional rights union.
  • 00:06:29.550 --> 00:06:33.254
  • Colonel west, you come from a military family.
  • 00:06:33.254 --> 00:06:35.690
  • Not just your parents, but your brother as well.
  • 00:06:35.690 --> 00:06:38.326
  • And you spent more than 20 years defending our country.
  • 00:06:38.326 --> 00:06:41.529
  • President trump takes
  • 00:06:41.529 --> 00:06:42.663
  • Pride in saying how many wars he's stopped already.
  • 00:06:42.663 --> 00:06:45.900
  • And he's made the point repeatedly.
  • 00:06:45.900 --> 00:06:48.169
  • Listen to his remarks.
  • 00:06:48.169 --> 00:06:49.504
  • We put out fires all over the world.
  • 00:06:50.271 --> 00:06:52.640
  • We did one yesterday.
  • 00:06:52.640 --> 00:06:53.908
  • You know, we stopped the war, but we stopped about five wars.
  • 00:06:53.908 --> 00:06:58.045
  • You know all that in just six months.
  • 00:06:58.846 --> 00:07:01.182
  • He talks about the lives saved, soldiers and citizens.
  • 00:07:01.182 --> 00:07:04.585
  • As any commander in chief
  • 00:07:04.585 --> 00:07:05.720
  • Been able to stop so many in such a short time.
  • 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.890
  • No, i don't think so.
  • 00:07:09.390 --> 00:07:10.558
  • This has been a remarkable 6 to 7 months.
  • 00:07:10.558 --> 00:07:13.461
  • It has reshaped presidential politics going forward.
  • 00:07:13.461 --> 00:07:17.031
  • And when you this is what strong leadership looks like.
  • 00:07:17.031 --> 00:07:19.600
  • This is when you get back to ronald reagan's
  • 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:21.636
  • Premise of peace through strength.
  • 00:07:21.636 --> 00:07:23.437
  • This is when you have resolute leadership resolve.
  • 00:07:23.437 --> 00:07:26.541
  • And in the white house
  • 00:07:26.541 --> 00:07:27.975
  • That understands
  • 00:07:27.975 --> 00:07:29.176
  • How to leverage the power of the united states of america.
  • 00:07:29.176 --> 00:07:31.879
  • It is not just always about dropping bombs.
  • 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.448
  • Sometimes you have to do that in the case of iran
  • 00:07:34.448 --> 00:07:36.450
  • With their nuclear capability.
  • 00:07:36.450 --> 00:07:38.119
  • But it is about leveraging your energy security
  • 00:07:38.119 --> 00:07:40.288
  • And your energy prowess and also your economic strength,
  • 00:07:40.288 --> 00:07:43.524
  • And that you have seen him do that
  • 00:07:43.524 --> 00:07:45.159
  • Through the terrorists,
  • 00:07:45.159 --> 00:07:46.460
  • The threats of terrorists, and the negotiations
  • 00:07:46.460 --> 00:07:48.396
  • To get better trade deals with this country.
  • 00:07:48.396 --> 00:07:50.331
  • So without a doubt,
  • 00:07:50.331 --> 00:07:51.599
  • The world is a lot more of a peaceful place
  • 00:07:51.599 --> 00:07:53.634
  • Because we have a strong leader in the white house.
  • 00:07:53.634 --> 00:07:56.504
  • Well, the pentagon says military enrollment is up
  • 00:07:56.504 --> 00:07:58.940
  • Across the board.
  • 00:07:58.940 --> 00:08:00.174
  • Why do you think that is?
  • 00:08:00.174 --> 00:08:02.043
  • What is very simple.
  • 00:08:02.043 --> 00:08:03.044
  • I mean, no one wants to join
  • 00:08:03.044 --> 00:08:04.812
  • A military where they're focused on, you know, transgenderism.
  • 00:08:04.812 --> 00:08:08.849
  • I, you know, and all of these other drag queens
  • 00:08:08.849 --> 00:08:12.420
  • Shows on military bases,
  • 00:08:12.420 --> 00:08:14.188
  • And even more so they don't want to have
  • 00:08:14.188 --> 00:08:15.823
  • A commander in chief to push them.
  • 00:08:15.823 --> 00:08:17.191
  • And then untenable situation like we saw in, in afghanistan.
  • 00:08:17.191 --> 00:08:22.430
  • And no one take any type of responsibility for that action.
  • 00:08:22.430 --> 00:08:25.399
  • And and furthermore,
  • 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:26.500
  • When those 13 marines, soldiers and sailors come back
  • 00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:30.271
  • For their ramp ceremony,
  • 00:08:30.271 --> 00:08:31.639
  • You have a commander in chief who was checking his watch.
  • 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.075
  • So who wants to join a military like that?
  • 00:08:34.075 --> 00:08:36.210
  • And so now that we have a military that is focused on the,
  • 00:08:36.210 --> 00:08:39.880
  • You know, right and true
  • 00:08:39.880 --> 00:08:40.881
  • Competencies and capabilities of our military
  • 00:08:40.881 --> 00:08:43.417
  • Going out and striking our enemy,
  • 00:08:43.417 --> 00:08:45.453
  • But not getting into occupation style warfare.
  • 00:08:45.453 --> 00:08:48.189
  • This is what the men and women want.
  • 00:08:48.189 --> 00:08:50.358
  • They want to be told, here's your mission.
  • 00:08:50.358 --> 00:08:52.126
  • Here's your task and purpose.
  • 00:08:52.126 --> 00:08:53.461
  • Go execute it and get back home.
  • 00:08:53.461 --> 00:08:56.197
  • Well, for all the success,
  • 00:08:56.764 --> 00:08:58.199
  • He seems to have been stymied a bit by russia and ukraine.
  • 00:08:58.199 --> 00:09:01.969
  • And he's particularly fed up with putin.
  • 00:09:01.969 --> 00:09:04.505
  • The european union has been approved to buy
  • 00:09:04.505 --> 00:09:06.607
  • American arms now.
  • 00:09:06.607 --> 00:09:07.675
  • But is there anything else
  • 00:09:07.675 --> 00:09:08.843
  • You think he should do to stop the bleeding?
  • 00:09:08.843 --> 00:09:11.912
  • Yeah.
  • 00:09:11.912 --> 00:09:12.313
  • I think one
  • 00:09:12.313 --> 00:09:13.547
  • Of the most important things is to restore our energy program
  • 00:09:13.547 --> 00:09:16.484
  • And our export of liquefied natural gas.
  • 00:09:16.484 --> 00:09:19.487
  • You saw the european union saying
  • 00:09:19.487 --> 00:09:21.255
  • That they are going to buy more of our energy resources,
  • 00:09:21.255 --> 00:09:23.991
  • And that really does put the kibosh on vladimir putin,
  • 00:09:23.991 --> 00:09:27.361
  • Because that's the means by which he supports himself.
  • 00:09:27.361 --> 00:09:29.630
  • But then also,
  • 00:09:29.630 --> 00:09:30.631
  • We have to look at how we can leverage
  • 00:09:30.631 --> 00:09:32.500
  • Our economy and leverage trade against china,
  • 00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:35.102
  • Because the trade imbalance,
  • 00:09:35.102 --> 00:09:36.437
  • The trade deficit that they have over us,
  • 00:09:36.437 --> 00:09:39.040
  • Without a doubt,
  • 00:09:39.040 --> 00:09:39.740
  • They're using that to
  • 00:09:39.740 --> 00:09:40.975
  • Fund russia and their exports and also fund the north korean
  • 00:09:40.975 --> 00:09:44.445
  • Military to be able to go in and fight for russia in ukraine.
  • 00:09:44.445 --> 00:09:47.848
  • So, we have to look at also the iranians
  • 00:09:47.848 --> 00:09:50.851
  • And what they're able to do sending drones to russia.
  • 00:09:50.851 --> 00:09:53.421
  • So it's a total, effect that we see.
  • 00:09:53.421 --> 00:09:56.390
  • And i think the president trump is on the right side
  • 00:09:56.390 --> 00:09:58.793
  • Looking at our energy strength, our economic strength,
  • 00:09:58.793 --> 00:10:01.462
  • And really isolating these countries
  • 00:10:01.462 --> 00:10:03.464
  • From being able to support themselves, each other.
  • 00:10:03.464 --> 00:10:06.434
  • Well, i want to ask about china.
  • 00:10:06.434 --> 00:10:08.202
  • You know,
  • 00:10:08.202 --> 00:10:08.703
  • They're suffering
  • 00:10:08.703 --> 00:10:09.270
  • An economic slowdown,
  • 00:10:09.270 --> 00:10:10.371
  • But they're spending big on their military.
  • 00:10:10.371 --> 00:10:12.973
  • What does that tell you about what they might be up to?
  • 00:10:12.973 --> 00:10:16.010
  • Well, it tells you everything.
  • 00:10:16.010 --> 00:10:17.445
  • And it was not too long ago that china did not have a single
  • 00:10:17.445 --> 00:10:21.248
  • Aircraft carrier.
  • 00:10:21.248 --> 00:10:22.717
  • I think now they're up to three aircraft carriers.
  • 00:10:22.717 --> 00:10:24.952
  • And again, this is what happens
  • 00:10:24.952 --> 00:10:26.654
  • When you allow them to insert themselves
  • 00:10:26.654 --> 00:10:28.989
  • Into the world economic community
  • 00:10:28.989 --> 00:10:30.891
  • And how such gross trade imbalances,
  • 00:10:30.891 --> 00:10:33.494
  • Their muscle up a tic.
  • 00:10:33.494 --> 00:10:34.995
  • And they have taken the blood
  • 00:10:34.995 --> 00:10:36.297
  • That they have out of the world economic, system.
  • 00:10:36.297 --> 00:10:40.101
  • And they are using it to expand
  • 00:10:40.101 --> 00:10:41.569
  • Their global hegemonic demands, designs.
  • 00:10:41.569 --> 00:10:44.572
  • And it hurts my heart to say this bastard jackson.
  • 00:10:44.572 --> 00:10:46.640
  • But the means by which you extend
  • 00:10:46.640 --> 00:10:48.442
  • The power of a nation is not to a strong
  • 00:10:48.442 --> 00:10:50.478
  • Arm, it to a strong navy.
  • 00:10:50.478 --> 00:10:51.946
  • And that's exactly why we see china invest in its their
  • 00:10:51.946 --> 00:10:54.381
  • Maritime forces.
  • 00:10:54.381 --> 00:10:56.217
  • What about all the chinese military men
  • 00:10:56.217 --> 00:10:58.753
  • That came into our nation when we had the open border?
  • 00:10:58.753 --> 00:11:01.489
  • Do you know much about that.
  • 00:11:02.089 --> 00:11:03.924
  • Huge concern when you're talking about 25 to 30,000?
  • 00:11:03.924 --> 00:11:07.928
  • That's the estimate of
  • 00:11:07.928 --> 00:11:09.029
  • Single military age males coming in here from china.
  • 00:11:09.029 --> 00:11:11.632
  • That's the equivalent
  • 00:11:11.632 --> 00:11:12.600
  • Of about two united states army divisions.
  • 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:16.036
  • We have to be really concerned about that type of force
  • 00:11:16.036 --> 00:11:19.607
  • That is here
  • 00:11:19.607 --> 00:11:20.708
  • On top of the criminal illegal immigrants that we have
  • 00:11:20.708 --> 00:11:23.310
  • And all the other terrorist cells that could be existing.
  • 00:11:23.310 --> 00:11:26.280
  • We know that joe biden released, about 2000, maybe 2500
  • 00:11:26.280 --> 00:11:31.018
  • Special interest aliens from iran back into our society.
  • 00:11:31.018 --> 00:11:35.256
  • So we have got a lot of cleanup to do within the borders
  • 00:11:35.256 --> 00:11:38.159
  • Of the united states of america.
  • 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:39.593
  • Now that we have secured our border.
  • 00:11:39.593 --> 00:11:42.363
  • With the border secure.
  • 00:11:42.363 --> 00:11:43.731
  • How are things in texas?
  • 00:11:43.731 --> 00:11:46.066
  • It's a lot better.
  • 00:11:46.066 --> 00:11:47.234
  • I've been down to the border, down.
  • 00:11:47.234 --> 00:11:49.570
  • And, kinney county, which is bracketed filled.
  • 00:11:49.570 --> 00:11:51.906
  • Texas in between eagle pass and del rio,
  • 00:11:51.906 --> 00:11:54.241
  • Went to the bridge there and del rio, texas,
  • 00:11:54.241 --> 00:11:56.977
  • Where we saw tens of thousands of people
  • 00:11:56.977 --> 00:11:59.146
  • Camping out under that bridge.
  • 00:11:59.146 --> 00:12:00.748
  • It's actually boring down there right now.
  • 00:12:00.748 --> 00:12:02.950
  • Pastor jackson and a lot of the law
  • 00:12:02.950 --> 00:12:04.852
  • Enforcement are very happy and appreciative of that.
  • 00:12:04.852 --> 00:12:07.254
  • But the great thing is
  • 00:12:07.254 --> 00:12:08.022
  • The kids are able
  • 00:12:08.022 --> 00:12:08.722
  • To go back out and play
  • 00:12:08.722 --> 00:12:10.357
  • And not have to worry about high speed chases
  • 00:12:10.357 --> 00:12:12.493
  • And these, jump outs
  • 00:12:12.493 --> 00:12:14.061
  • Where they could be kidnaped by illegal immigrants.
  • 00:12:14.061 --> 00:12:17.131
  • Well, that's one kind of boring we can all celebrate.
  • 00:12:17.131 --> 00:12:20.267
  • You know, texas been in the news this week
  • 00:12:20.267 --> 00:12:22.169
  • For the redistricting battle that's taking place.
  • 00:12:22.169 --> 00:12:25.573
  • And some of the democrats in the nation are screaming
  • 00:12:25.573 --> 00:12:29.076
  • It's foul play.
  • 00:12:29.076 --> 00:12:30.277
  • But it seems to me that it's business as usual in politics.
  • 00:12:30.277 --> 00:12:33.514
  • Can you help us understand a bit?
  • 00:12:33.514 --> 00:12:35.382
  • Yeah, sure.
  • 00:12:35.382 --> 00:12:36.417
  • You know, i made a little note, some notes here.
  • 00:12:36.417 --> 00:12:38.419
  • Here are the blue states with absolutely no republican
  • 00:12:38.419 --> 00:12:41.121
  • Congressional representation.
  • 00:12:41.121 --> 00:12:42.723
  • Massachusetts.
  • 00:12:42.723 --> 00:12:43.858
  • Where texas state senators just fled to rhode island,
  • 00:12:43.858 --> 00:12:46.627
  • Vermont, new hampshire, hawaii,
  • 00:12:46.627 --> 00:12:48.162
  • New mexico, connecticut, delaware.
  • 00:12:48.162 --> 00:12:50.130
  • Here are the blue states with just one,
  • 00:12:50.130 --> 00:12:52.366
  • Congressional house district.
  • 00:12:52.366 --> 00:12:53.500
  • Maryland, oregon and maine.
  • 00:12:53.500 --> 00:12:55.202
  • Here are the blue states that have 2
  • 00:12:55.202 --> 00:12:56.470
  • To 5 republican house seats.
  • 00:12:56.470 --> 00:12:58.205
  • That's colorado, minnesota, illinois,
  • 00:12:58.205 --> 00:13:00.241
  • Where the texas house democrats fled virginia, new jersey
  • 00:13:00.241 --> 00:13:03.744
  • And california, new york and not too far behind.
  • 00:13:03.744 --> 00:13:06.313
  • What the democrats
  • 00:13:06.313 --> 00:13:07.281
  • Are upset about is that what they have been
  • 00:13:07.281 --> 00:13:08.983
  • Doing for so long is being done to them.
  • 00:13:08.983 --> 00:13:11.018
  • Anytime that they're doing something,
  • 00:13:11.018 --> 00:13:12.453
  • They think that they're advocating democracy
  • 00:13:12.453 --> 00:13:14.421
  • When you don't agree with them.
  • 00:13:14.421 --> 00:13:15.689
  • Now all of a sudden you're a, you're an enemy of democracy.
  • 00:13:15.689 --> 00:13:19.460
  • This is the same party that also they want to make puerto rico
  • 00:13:19.460 --> 00:13:22.730
  • And the district of columbia states.
  • 00:13:22.730 --> 00:13:24.398
  • So why
  • 00:13:24.398 --> 00:13:25.366
  • They can get more congressional representing
  • 00:13:25.366 --> 00:13:27.067
  • They want to pack the supreme court.
  • 00:13:27.067 --> 00:13:29.036
  • This is something that has to end.
  • 00:13:29.036 --> 00:13:30.604
  • They cannot gerrymander anymore in these blue states.
  • 00:13:30.604 --> 00:13:34.375
  • Well, i'd like to ask one more question.
  • 00:13:35.209 --> 00:13:37.511
  • President trump
  • 00:13:37.511 --> 00:13:38.612
  • Has certainly turned up the heat on the dc swamp,
  • 00:13:38.612 --> 00:13:42.549
  • But the margins on capitol hill are slim.
  • 00:13:42.549 --> 00:13:45.185
  • So was the dallas county republican chairman.
  • 00:13:45.185 --> 00:13:47.721
  • How does all this rapid success line up with the midterms
  • 00:13:47.721 --> 00:13:50.391
  • Next year?
  • 00:13:50.391 --> 00:13:51.759
  • I think without a doubt, you're going to see a lot of success
  • 00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.461
  • For republicans,
  • 00:13:54.461 --> 00:13:55.596
  • And especially
  • 00:13:55.596 --> 00:13:56.730
  • If you have zoran madani winning the mayoral election
  • 00:13:56.730 --> 00:14:00.167
  • In new york city, the democrat party owns him.
  • 00:14:00.167 --> 00:14:02.836
  • The same with the,
  • 00:14:02.836 --> 00:14:03.938
  • Mayoral candidate in minneapolis, minnesota, mr.
  • 00:14:03.938 --> 00:14:06.974
  • Omar forte, who is also another socialist marxist.
  • 00:14:06.974 --> 00:14:10.244
  • If that's the direction they're going to go in.
  • 00:14:10.244 --> 00:14:12.680
  • They obviously didn't get the memo from november 2024.
  • 00:14:12.680 --> 00:14:16.817
  • Well, colonel allen west, we salute you for your service
  • 00:14:16.817 --> 00:14:19.520
  • To this country.
  • 00:14:19.520 --> 00:14:20.788
  • Please come back again or come over to nashville.
  • 00:14:20.788 --> 00:14:23.190
  • We'll have you here on the set.
  • 00:14:23.190 --> 00:14:24.758
  • We'll get you some great food and even some good music.
  • 00:14:24.758 --> 00:14:26.894
  • When the show's over.
  • 00:14:26.894 --> 00:14:28.162
  • Yes, sir. good. all rockets up.
  • 00:14:28.162 --> 00:14:29.863
  • Oh, right, sir.
  • 00:14:29.863 --> 00:14:31.465
  • In a moment.
  • 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:32.766
  • Hope is here.
  • 00:14:32.766 --> 00:14:33.968
  • We'll go through it together right after this next break.
  • 00:14:33.968 --> 00:14:36.437
  • Stay with us.
  • 00:14:36.437 --> 00:14:43.009
  • Stay with us.
  • 00:14:43.009 --> 00:14:47.647
  • Before the islamic revolution,
  • 00:14:48.247 --> 00:14:50.049
  • Iran was a modern, thriving society.
  • 00:14:50.049 --> 00:14:53.453
  • Its cities were vibrant.
  • 00:14:53.453 --> 00:14:54.487
  • It was a hub of art, education and open commerce.
  • 00:14:54.487 --> 00:14:57.690
  • Western alliances, including with israel,
  • 00:14:57.690 --> 00:15:00.293
  • Brought economic opportunity and technological advancement.
  • 00:15:00.293 --> 00:15:04.263
  • Then the islamic revolution shattered that reality.
  • 00:15:04.263 --> 00:15:07.567
  • Evil leaders replaced liberty with repression.
  • 00:15:07.567 --> 00:15:10.436
  • They silenced any dissent.
  • 00:15:10.436 --> 00:15:12.672
  • I wonder what would the people of iran in the 1970s
  • 00:15:12.672 --> 00:15:15.742
  • Say today,
  • 00:15:15.742 --> 00:15:17.043
  • Knowing what iran has turned
  • 00:15:17.043 --> 00:15:18.277
  • Into under this cruel and oppressive regime?
  • 00:15:18.277 --> 00:15:21.447
  • Were they seduced by the notion of peaceful islam?
  • 00:15:21.447 --> 00:15:24.584
  • As it's frequently described
  • 00:15:24.584 --> 00:15:25.985
  • To us across the world, where it's enforced,
  • 00:15:25.985 --> 00:15:28.855
  • Where it represents consistently authoritarian,
  • 00:15:28.855 --> 00:15:31.391
  • Dictatorial, brutal regimes of violence,
  • 00:15:31.391 --> 00:15:34.627
  • Women are not treated anywhere remotely as equals.
  • 00:15:34.627 --> 00:15:37.463
  • Citizens are overburdened by taxes.
  • 00:15:37.463 --> 00:15:39.599
  • Its economic servitude.
  • 00:15:39.599 --> 00:15:42.101
  • You may wonder, what does all of this
  • 00:15:42.101 --> 00:15:43.569
  • Have to do with us here in america?
  • 00:15:43.569 --> 00:15:46.172
  • We are being willfully ignorant if we can't see it begin
  • 00:15:46.172 --> 00:15:49.175
  • To take shape
  • 00:15:49.175 --> 00:15:50.410
  • In the minds of young people across our university campuses.
  • 00:15:50.410 --> 00:15:54.147
  • Well, they're being taught the virtues of socialism
  • 00:15:54.147 --> 00:15:56.315
  • And anti-semitic violent expressions are celebrated.
  • 00:15:56.315 --> 00:15:59.218
  • Well, now the mayoral candidate from new york
  • 00:16:00.153 --> 00:16:02.588
  • Is a self-proclaimed socialist,
  • 00:16:02.588 --> 00:16:04.891
  • And he's being paraded through the halls of d.c.,
  • 00:16:04.891 --> 00:16:07.360
  • Celebrated by influential lawmakers.
  • 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:10.296
  • This is the same man who, in the recent past,
  • 00:16:10.296 --> 00:16:12.799
  • Has condemned the police
  • 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:14.434
  • And defended the phrase globalize the intifada.
  • 00:16:14.434 --> 00:16:18.838
  • He's been given multiple opportunities to walk that back
  • 00:16:18.838 --> 00:16:21.274
  • And condemn the anti-semitic phrase he's refused.
  • 00:16:21.274 --> 00:16:24.977
  • Why is that?
  • 00:16:25.311 --> 00:16:26.846
  • Well, globalize the intifada is a declaration of war
  • 00:16:26.846 --> 00:16:29.916
  • On anyone who refuses to bow before islam's death cult.
  • 00:16:29.916 --> 00:16:33.853
  • It's a globalized campaign of hate whose central promise
  • 00:16:33.853 --> 00:16:37.623
  • Is not to build a better future for palestine,
  • 00:16:37.623 --> 00:16:40.593
  • But to bury the jews.
  • 00:16:40.593 --> 00:16:42.562
  • And as the church, we're struggling
  • 00:16:42.562 --> 00:16:44.197
  • To understand how we should respond.
  • 00:16:44.197 --> 00:16:46.199
  • Should we talk about it?
  • 00:16:46.199 --> 00:16:47.233
  • Is it appropriate,
  • 00:16:47.233 --> 00:16:48.835
  • If you dare to mention any of the observable facts
  • 00:16:48.835 --> 00:16:51.304
  • Which i just recited to you in the public square?
  • 00:16:51.304 --> 00:16:53.940
  • You're frequently shouted down as being racist or xenophobic.
  • 00:16:53.940 --> 00:16:57.310
  • We cannot shrink back.
  • 00:16:57.777 --> 00:16:59.412
  • Don't be silent in the face of ungodliness.
  • 00:16:59.412 --> 00:17:02.348
  • Don't lose your voice around things that you know is wrong.
  • 00:17:02.348 --> 00:17:05.685
  • I believe with all of my heart
  • 00:17:05.685 --> 00:17:06.986
  • That christianity is the hope of humanity.
  • 00:17:06.986 --> 00:17:09.489
  • So when your sphere of influence be the voice of truth
  • 00:17:09.489 --> 00:17:12.024
  • In this season of cultural change,
  • 00:17:12.024 --> 00:17:14.193
  • It will make a difference.
  • 00:17:14.193 --> 00:17:15.962
  • We'll be right back with your emails.
  • 00:17:15.962 --> 00:17:25.001
  • We'll be right back with your emails.
  • 00:17:25.001 --> 00:17:28.876
  • Thank you for spending a few minutes of your day with us.
  • 00:17:29.977 --> 00:17:33.080
  • Just a reminder, you can go to aj now.com.
  • 00:17:33.080 --> 00:17:35.682
  • You can send us an email.
  • 00:17:35.682 --> 00:17:36.917
  • You can share a link of your favorite program with a friend.
  • 00:17:36.917 --> 00:17:40.187
  • The more who watch, the better for all of us.
  • 00:17:40.187 --> 00:17:43.457
  • Don be from virginia.
  • 00:17:43.457 --> 00:17:45.392
  • My question
  • 00:17:45.392 --> 00:17:46.193
  • Do you think it's wise for the usa
  • 00:17:46.193 --> 00:17:47.828
  • To be selling military equipment to countries like the uk,
  • 00:17:47.828 --> 00:17:51.632
  • Who've allowed their borders to be overrun by muslims?
  • 00:17:51.632 --> 00:17:54.168
  • Could this be putting weapons
  • 00:17:54.168 --> 00:17:55.335
  • In the hands of those who want to harm us?
  • 00:17:55.335 --> 00:17:57.971
  • It's an interesting question, don.
  • 00:17:57.971 --> 00:17:59.907
  • You know,
  • 00:17:59.907 --> 00:18:01.108
  • I think the countries that are our allies, our nato allies,
  • 00:18:01.108 --> 00:18:03.844
  • We have a responsibility to do anything we can
  • 00:18:03.844 --> 00:18:06.246
  • To strengthen them.
  • 00:18:06.246 --> 00:18:07.447
  • And if we can sell them arms, that has a benefit for us.
  • 00:18:07.447 --> 00:18:10.284
  • So i think it probably is a positive step.
  • 00:18:10.284 --> 00:18:12.819
  • But there is a concern about the demographics of europe.
  • 00:18:12.819 --> 00:18:17.191
  • They are shifting rapidly, and there's some serious question
  • 00:18:17.191 --> 00:18:20.227
  • About whether or not that can even be reversed.
  • 00:18:20.227 --> 00:18:22.362
  • Jay chambers and gina both emailed the same question.
  • 00:18:23.430 --> 00:18:26.700
  • Thank you for interviewing ambassador mike huckabee.
  • 00:18:26.700 --> 00:18:29.603
  • He tells the truth about the fake media.
  • 00:18:29.603 --> 00:18:31.538
  • We wish others realized they lie.
  • 00:18:31.538 --> 00:18:34.208
  • We miss seeing him on tv right before you.
  • 00:18:34.208 --> 00:18:36.577
  • His wit and humor are surely missed.
  • 00:18:36.577 --> 00:18:39.580
  • Well, i miss seeing him on tv as well.
  • 00:18:39.580 --> 00:18:42.282
  • I especially miss that pink sport coat he used to wear.
  • 00:18:42.282 --> 00:18:45.419
  • But he is doing some good work in israel and the middle east.
  • 00:18:45.419 --> 00:18:49.823
  • He stepped into a very difficult
  • 00:18:49.823 --> 00:18:51.425
  • Place in a very difficult season.
  • 00:18:51.425 --> 00:18:53.260
  • I hope you will remember him in your prayers.
  • 00:18:53.260 --> 00:18:55.762
  • I have an israeli friend
  • 00:18:55.762 --> 00:18:56.964
  • Who knew him when he was running for the presidency here,
  • 00:18:56.964 --> 00:19:00.167
  • And he said, mike huckabee won't be president.
  • 00:19:00.167 --> 00:19:02.002
  • He's too honest of a man.
  • 00:19:02.002 --> 00:19:04.104
  • That's a compliment. and he is.
  • 00:19:04.104 --> 00:19:06.373
  • One viewer on youtube complimented
  • 00:19:07.107 --> 00:19:08.942
  • Pastor jackson crushing some truth capsules like always.
  • 00:19:08.942 --> 00:19:12.646
  • Thank you for your insight and knowledge.
  • 00:19:12.646 --> 00:19:15.249
  • Well, i'm an advocate for the truth.
  • 00:19:15.249 --> 00:19:16.650
  • I think it brings freedom and hope to our future,
  • 00:19:16.650 --> 00:19:19.319
  • And we're glad to add
  • 00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:20.320
  • A bit of momentum to that with our program.
  • 00:19:20.320 --> 00:19:23.523
  • And finally, jones from kentucky
  • 00:19:24.157 --> 00:19:25.659
  • Emailed what's going on with central bank digital currency?
  • 00:19:25.659 --> 00:19:29.496
  • Do the american voters have a choice?
  • 00:19:29.496 --> 00:19:32.266
  • Well, john, absolutely.
  • 00:19:32.266 --> 00:19:33.600
  • The american voters have a choice.
  • 00:19:33.600 --> 00:19:35.869
  • You know, we have been lethargic,
  • 00:19:35.869 --> 00:19:37.404
  • Disinterested, ambivalent for too long.
  • 00:19:37.404 --> 00:19:41.008
  • And i pray one of the things that is happening in this season
  • 00:19:41.008 --> 00:19:44.611
  • Is that we're awakening to our responsibilities
  • 00:19:44.611 --> 00:19:47.247
  • To protect the liberties and freedoms that we've inherited.
  • 00:19:47.247 --> 00:19:50.517
  • It only one takes one generation for that to be lost.
  • 00:19:50.517 --> 00:19:53.987
  • And we have been distracted by our pursuit of pleasure
  • 00:19:53.987 --> 00:19:57.291
  • And comfort and convenience.
  • 00:19:57.291 --> 00:19:58.959
  • But perhaps god in his mercy is awakening us,
  • 00:19:58.959 --> 00:20:02.296
  • And we'll begin to use our voices again
  • 00:20:02.296 --> 00:20:04.231
  • To express our determination to see the truth upheld.
  • 00:20:04.231 --> 00:20:08.235
  • It'll bring liberty and for for it'll bring liberty
  • 00:20:08.235 --> 00:20:10.971
  • And freedom to all of us.
  • 00:20:10.971 --> 00:20:12.606
  • Easy for me to say.
  • 00:20:12.606 --> 00:20:14.441
  • It is always an honor to spend a few minutes of our day
  • 00:20:14.441 --> 00:20:17.077
  • With you.
  • 00:20:17.077 --> 00:20:18.211
  • I'm alan jackson, and you have a wonderful evening.
  • 00:20:18.211 --> 00:20:18.211
