Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Street Anarchy | Allen Jackson Now | February 6, 2026
- Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
- 00:00:17.709 --> 00:00:19.644
- I'm alan jackson.
- 00:00:19.644 --> 00:00:21.213
- In every american city, the most important
- 00:00:21.213 --> 00:00:23.248
- Responsibility of the mayor is keeping the public safe.
- 00:00:23.248 --> 00:00:26.585
- Mayors hire the police chiefs, and they decide
- 00:00:26.585 --> 00:00:28.620
- Whether enough resources are being used
- 00:00:28.620 --> 00:00:30.388
- To keep their citizens safe or sometimes not,
- 00:00:30.388 --> 00:00:34.159
- Which is the case in minneapolis,
- 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:35.694
- Where mayor jacob frey thinks he knows better.
- 00:00:35.694 --> 00:00:38.296
- And he's decided he'd
- 00:00:38.296 --> 00:00:39.531
- Rather see the city in turmoil than clear out the criminals.
- 00:00:39.531 --> 00:00:43.034
- After weeks of protest, he's now letting a posse of paid
- 00:00:43.034 --> 00:00:46.538
- Agitators run the streets of minneapolis.
- 00:00:46.538 --> 00:00:49.541
- They're building makeshift blockades
- 00:00:49.541 --> 00:00:51.209
- To stop homeland security from moving from place to place.
- 00:00:51.209 --> 00:00:54.913
- He's cheering on the protesters
- 00:00:54.913 --> 00:00:56.681
- While he continues to ignore the city's fraud cases.
- 00:00:56.681 --> 00:00:59.684
- Telling his friends in the media that he's showing the love.
- 00:00:59.684 --> 00:01:03.421
- New york city's new socialist mayor says he fully supports
- 00:01:03.421 --> 00:01:06.791
- The protest in minneapolis
- 00:01:06.791 --> 00:01:08.560
- And their support groups who've taken to the streets,
- 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.129
- Who took over a hotel lobby to show their solidarity
- 00:01:11.129 --> 00:01:13.865
- With minneapolis.
- 00:01:13.865 --> 00:01:15.400
- Mamdani calls new york city a sanctuary stronghold.
- 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.638
- But when it came to actually doing his job,
- 00:01:19.638 --> 00:01:22.073
- The image conscious mayor was out buying
- 00:01:22.073 --> 00:01:23.975
- A new embroidered winter jacket for his photo ops.
- 00:01:23.975 --> 00:01:26.978
- Snow shoveling
- 00:01:26.978 --> 00:01:28.446
- And a freezing mess that's left at least 16 people dead.
- 00:01:28.446 --> 00:01:32.017
- Maybe his brand of socialism works better in warm weather.
- 00:01:32.017 --> 00:01:34.953
- There's a leadership shortage in our nation.
- 00:01:35.854 --> 00:01:38.056
- We're not lacking people with titles or authority.
- 00:01:38.056 --> 00:01:40.825
- We're lacking people with wisdom and understanding.
- 00:01:40.825 --> 00:01:43.828
- We have mayors of major cities
- 00:01:43.828 --> 00:01:45.463
- Pushing for the role of law enforcement to be diminished,
- 00:01:45.463 --> 00:01:48.567
- To be set aside,
- 00:01:48.567 --> 00:01:49.901
- All while instigating the hatred to be directed at them.
- 00:01:49.901 --> 00:01:53.772
- Elected officials are escalating lawlessness
- 00:01:53.772 --> 00:01:56.241
- In their own communities.
- 00:01:56.241 --> 00:01:57.742
- They push to defund the police, to completely
- 00:01:57.742 --> 00:02:00.412
- Eradicate ice, to open our borders.
- 00:02:00.412 --> 00:02:03.548
- That's not an accident.
- 00:02:03.548 --> 00:02:04.883
- That's a trend.
- 00:02:04.883 --> 00:02:06.551
- And the messaging
- 00:02:06.551 --> 00:02:07.719
- Being pushed on us is that these are peaceful protesters.
- 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:11.156
- I'd say they're anything but peaceful.
- 00:02:11.156 --> 00:02:12.958
- They're professional agitators.
- 00:02:12.958 --> 00:02:14.759
- They're well funded by dark money.
- 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.362
- They're not protesting
- 00:02:17.362 --> 00:02:18.363
- The thousands of people being killed in iran.
- 00:02:18.363 --> 00:02:20.966
- They didn't protest about the 300,000 children
- 00:02:20.966 --> 00:02:24.069
- That are being subjected to sexual horrors
- 00:02:24.069 --> 00:02:26.171
- After smuggled across our borders.
- 00:02:26.171 --> 00:02:28.807
- This group of professional agitators are being held up
- 00:02:28.807 --> 00:02:31.176
- As heroes by the media,
- 00:02:31.176 --> 00:02:32.811
- By hollywood, by celebrities, by the music industry.
- 00:02:32.811 --> 00:02:35.780
- Boldly so.
- 00:02:35.780 --> 00:02:36.982
- At the grammys, they condemned the events of january the 6th.
- 00:02:36.982 --> 00:02:40.852
- If they don't say a word about
- 00:02:40.852 --> 00:02:42.087
- The attacks on law enforcement, attacks on private citizens,
- 00:02:42.087 --> 00:02:45.190
- And total disregard for property,
- 00:02:45.190 --> 00:02:47.726
- If these professional agitators had their way,
- 00:02:47.726 --> 00:02:50.495
- We would be plunged into anarchy.
- 00:02:50.495 --> 00:02:53.031
- How dare they block a street and turn peaceful neighborhoods
- 00:02:53.031 --> 00:02:55.867
- Into a war zone?
- 00:02:55.867 --> 00:02:57.102
- There should be retribution.
- 00:02:57.102 --> 00:02:59.137
- What if there was a medical emergency
- 00:02:59.137 --> 00:03:00.672
- In one of the homes in those neighborhoods?
- 00:03:00.672 --> 00:03:02.440
- And 911 was called.
- 00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:03.808
- But the ambulance, they didn't make it in time
- 00:03:03.808 --> 00:03:05.677
- Because the streets were blocked.
- 00:03:05.677 --> 00:03:07.712
- If the community where i live, if i blocked the street,
- 00:03:07.712 --> 00:03:10.749
- The police would come for me.
- 00:03:10.749 --> 00:03:12.751
- And if i rammed a law enforcement agent with my car,
- 00:03:12.751 --> 00:03:15.787
- They rightfully would do more than that.
- 00:03:15.787 --> 00:03:18.623
- But those of us that are watching
- 00:03:18.623 --> 00:03:20.558
- Must have the moral clarity to recognize that
- 00:03:20.558 --> 00:03:23.061
- These professional agitators, they're not heroes.
- 00:03:23.061 --> 00:03:26.164
- Despite how these elected officials are celebrities
- 00:03:26.164 --> 00:03:28.933
- Or even the media try to portray them.
- 00:03:28.933 --> 00:03:31.469
- We as the church, we need to be awake.
- 00:03:31.469 --> 00:03:33.705
- We need to pay attention.
- 00:03:33.705 --> 00:03:34.806
- We need to step closer to god
- 00:03:34.806 --> 00:03:36.808
- Because he's the only real solution to this.
- 00:03:36.808 --> 00:03:39.644
- The solution to our society isn't
- 00:03:39.644 --> 00:03:41.313
- Coming from a political party.
- 00:03:41.313 --> 00:03:43.148
- It may get delivered through some political means.
- 00:03:43.148 --> 00:03:45.383
- But god is our deliverer.
- 00:03:45.383 --> 00:03:47.452
- And for that, we need a healthy, vibrant, vital church.
- 00:03:47.452 --> 00:03:51.323
- When we speak truth and judge with truth is our standard.
- 00:03:51.323 --> 00:03:54.559
- Our lives will be better in every way.
- 00:03:54.559 --> 00:03:57.228
- It'll make our nation more secure.
- 00:03:57.228 --> 00:03:58.663
- If we'll do that,
- 00:03:58.663 --> 00:04:00.198
- I promise there's more reasons for hope than despair.
- 00:04:00.198 --> 00:04:04.002
- So with all that on the table in a moment
- 00:04:04.002 --> 00:04:05.870
- We're going to speak with a man
- 00:04:05.870 --> 00:04:06.971
- Who knows all about the law, our safety and country,
- 00:04:06.971 --> 00:04:10.141
- And even right from wrong.
- 00:04:10.141 --> 00:04:11.676
- Stay tuned next for officer brandon tatum.
- 00:04:11.676 --> 00:04:14.813
- I'll be right back.
- 00:04:14.813 --> 00:04:22.009
- I'll be right back.
- 00:04:22.009 --> 00:04:27.295
- Welcome back.
- 00:04:27.662 --> 00:04:28.996
- Imagine this.
- 00:04:28.996 --> 00:04:29.964
- Something happens at your home
- 00:04:29.964 --> 00:04:31.332
- Or in your car, and you immediately dial 911.
- 00:04:31.332 --> 00:04:34.502
- It rings and rings, but no one answers.
- 00:04:34.502 --> 00:04:36.738
- So you try it again.
- 00:04:36.738 --> 00:04:38.239
- And still no answer.
- 00:04:38.239 --> 00:04:39.907
- Well, that's what's on its way of certain.
- 00:04:39.907 --> 00:04:41.609
- Mayors continue to ignore the law
- 00:04:41.609 --> 00:04:43.578
- And let criminals go free.
- 00:04:43.578 --> 00:04:45.713
- They brag about being on the side of the criminals,
- 00:04:45.713 --> 00:04:48.416
- And they're so interested in taking shots at president trump
- 00:04:48.416 --> 00:04:51.319
- That they're risking our lives
- 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:52.854
- To advance their personal lawless agenda.
- 00:04:52.854 --> 00:04:56.023
- Well, our guest tonight has actually answered
- 00:04:56.023 --> 00:04:57.859
- The 911 calls many times in his career.
- 00:04:57.859 --> 00:05:01.195
- He's a former police officer.
- 00:05:01.195 --> 00:05:02.463
- He's a friend, and he's the host of the officer tatum show.
- 00:05:02.463 --> 00:05:06.234
- Brandon tatum, welcome back.
- 00:05:06.234 --> 00:05:09.270
- Well, thanks for having me.
- 00:05:09.270 --> 00:05:10.138
- I'm glad to be back.
- 00:05:10.138 --> 00:05:12.006
- I think we've all seen the street mobs
- 00:05:12.006 --> 00:05:13.741
- That are running things in minneapolis.
- 00:05:13.741 --> 00:05:15.309
- They're organized, paid protesters
- 00:05:15.309 --> 00:05:17.812
- Who get trained to fight the police.
- 00:05:17.812 --> 00:05:19.547
- They create stunts for the news cameras,
- 00:05:19.547 --> 00:05:21.883
- And they do whatever they can to disrupt any law and order.
- 00:05:21.883 --> 00:05:24.986
- The mayor of minneapolis is openly supporting them
- 00:05:24.986 --> 00:05:27.422
- And telling the local police to stay out of it.
- 00:05:27.422 --> 00:05:30.224
- What are your initial thoughts on this loss of law and order?
- 00:05:30.224 --> 00:05:33.161
- There?
- 00:05:33.161 --> 00:05:34.529
- Well, it's been very,
- 00:05:35.029 --> 00:05:37.932
- Disheartening.
- 00:05:37.932 --> 00:05:39.000
- Confusing, perplexing.
- 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.035
- Upsetting, frustrating.
- 00:05:41.035 --> 00:05:42.937
- I mean, i can go down
- 00:05:42.937 --> 00:05:43.971
- The gamut of the words that come to my mind
- 00:05:43.971 --> 00:05:46.174
- When i see how foolish these people are,
- 00:05:46.174 --> 00:05:48.443
- And they're foolish for no real good reason
- 00:05:48.443 --> 00:05:51.145
- Other than to be evil.
- 00:05:51.145 --> 00:05:52.580
- It's a thought.
- 00:05:52.580 --> 00:05:54.248
- The will of the people who voted for the president
- 00:05:54.248 --> 00:05:57.218
- Of the united states to activate real,
- 00:05:57.218 --> 00:06:00.087
- Immigration enforcement is not that hard.
- 00:06:00.087 --> 00:06:03.691
- These people who we are arresting.
- 00:06:03.691 --> 00:06:05.660
- And when i say we, they mean
- 00:06:05.660 --> 00:06:06.661
- The united states of america are arresting
- 00:06:06.661 --> 00:06:08.596
- Who are illegally in this country, have committed
- 00:06:08.596 --> 00:06:10.665
- Some of the most heinous crimes you can think of.
- 00:06:10.665 --> 00:06:12.867
- And even beyond the heinous crimes.
- 00:06:12.867 --> 00:06:15.203
- If you have cheated the line and you jumped to the front,
- 00:06:15.203 --> 00:06:18.806
- You snuck under the fence, you've evaded immigration court.
- 00:06:18.806 --> 00:06:22.243
- You need to be held accountable.
- 00:06:22.243 --> 00:06:25.146
- And i do not understand for the life of me
- 00:06:25.146 --> 00:06:27.715
- Why somebody would put their life in danger,
- 00:06:27.715 --> 00:06:30.084
- Why they would
- 00:06:30.084 --> 00:06:31.152
- Blockade the roads and do any of that foolish stuff
- 00:06:31.152 --> 00:06:33.721
- In order to protect people that should be held accountable.
- 00:06:33.721 --> 00:06:36.724
- And also, it's it's frightening that somebody is funding this.
- 00:06:36.724 --> 00:06:40.895
- I don't know who's paying these people
- 00:06:40.895 --> 00:06:42.430
- To sit outside all day long.
- 00:06:42.430 --> 00:06:44.165
- They must not have a job in order to protest.
- 00:06:44.165 --> 00:06:47.101
- That's not really what the the constitution
- 00:06:47.101 --> 00:06:50.271
- At least alluded to when it comes to protest,
- 00:06:50.271 --> 00:06:52.340
- Not violating other people's constitutional rights,
- 00:06:52.340 --> 00:06:54.775
- Not bludgeoning ice agents and stalking them.
- 00:06:54.775 --> 00:06:57.712
- It was for you
- 00:06:57.712 --> 00:06:58.913
- To let your voice be heard in a peaceful, reasonable manner
- 00:06:58.913 --> 00:07:01.449
- Without thwarting someone else. constitutional rights.
- 00:07:01.449 --> 00:07:04.385
- Amen.
- 00:07:04.619 --> 00:07:05.820
- Well, i've been in many places around the world where laws,
- 00:07:05.820 --> 00:07:07.655
- If there are any, are pretty much just ignored.
- 00:07:07.655 --> 00:07:10.658
- Do you think the american people realize
- 00:07:10.658 --> 00:07:12.159
- That these socialist mayors from new york to california,
- 00:07:12.159 --> 00:07:15.196
- Are out to remake our country
- 00:07:15.196 --> 00:07:16.631
- In a way that's not really going to work?
- 00:07:16.631 --> 00:07:20.034
- Well, i think pastor jackson, if if they have it,
- 00:07:20.034 --> 00:07:23.337
- They're going to find out very quickly
- 00:07:23.337 --> 00:07:26.240
- If their cities aren't overrun yet, they will be.
- 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:29.210
- And like you mentioned, you know, early on
- 00:07:29.210 --> 00:07:31.512
- Is that when you call the police,
- 00:07:31.512 --> 00:07:33.381
- You're not going to get a violent response,
- 00:07:33.381 --> 00:07:35.416
- You're not going to get
- 00:07:35.416 --> 00:07:36.450
- A quick response, and you're not going to have
- 00:07:36.450 --> 00:07:37.885
- Proactive policing in your community.
- 00:07:37.885 --> 00:07:39.720
- You have to have a strong foundation of supported
- 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.090
- Law enforcement or everything is going to go to crap.
- 00:07:43.090 --> 00:07:46.193
- And i think most people
- 00:07:46.193 --> 00:07:48.829
- I will least i at least hope that most people
- 00:07:48.829 --> 00:07:51.599
- With a connected brain stem can see what's going on.
- 00:07:51.599 --> 00:07:55.202
- They're trying to thwart the law to benefit them politically,
- 00:07:55.202 --> 00:08:00.274
- Not because it's benefiting the people,
- 00:08:00.274 --> 00:08:01.976
- Not because it's benefiting the communities.
- 00:08:01.976 --> 00:08:03.711
- It's because it's benefiting them in elections
- 00:08:03.711 --> 00:08:05.947
- And other nefarious things
- 00:08:05.947 --> 00:08:07.214
- That they have,
- 00:08:07.214 --> 00:08:08.215
- That they're,
- 00:08:08.215 --> 00:08:09.050
- You know, putting together the plot
- 00:08:09.050 --> 00:08:09.951
- Against the american people.
- 00:08:09.951 --> 00:08:11.352
- And i'm hoping
- 00:08:11.352 --> 00:08:12.453
- That people wake up and be wise, be have an open mind
- 00:08:12.453 --> 00:08:15.890
- If you are on this side
- 00:08:15.890 --> 00:08:17.258
- And you're listening to the rhetoric here,
- 00:08:17.258 --> 00:08:18.859
- Make sure that you go to the other side
- 00:08:18.859 --> 00:08:20.928
- And listen to what they have to say.
- 00:08:20.928 --> 00:08:22.463
- So you have a balanced perspective
- 00:08:22.463 --> 00:08:23.898
- So you can make the right decision for yourself.
- 00:08:23.898 --> 00:08:26.701
- Well, i want your perspective as a former officer.
- 00:08:26.701 --> 00:08:29.203
- You know, i imagine it must be a real challenge
- 00:08:29.203 --> 00:08:31.038
- For men and women in uniform to be forced to stand down
- 00:08:31.038 --> 00:08:34.175
- When they see criminals walking free.
- 00:08:34.175 --> 00:08:36.410
- And yet, mayor frye is telling him
- 00:08:36.410 --> 00:08:37.712
- Not to assist the search, or even to keep the peace
- 00:08:37.712 --> 00:08:40.381
- When the protesters are throwing things
- 00:08:40.381 --> 00:08:42.049
- At the men and women of ice blocking streets.
- 00:08:42.049 --> 00:08:44.752
- Listen to how the mayor has tried to turn the conversation
- 00:08:44.752 --> 00:08:47.221
- In a different direction, claiming
- 00:08:47.221 --> 00:08:48.990
- That these are all peaceful demonstrations.
- 00:08:48.990 --> 00:08:51.759
- We have had tens of thousands of people
- 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:55.796
- In minneapolis stand up and protest peacefully.
- 00:08:55.796 --> 00:08:59.834
- I think it's important to tell the whole country that
- 00:08:59.834 --> 00:09:02.837
- This is not just about resistance here in minneapolis.
- 00:09:02.837 --> 00:09:06.741
- It's about love.
- 00:09:06.741 --> 00:09:08.142
- We are showing something far more powerful
- 00:09:08.142 --> 00:09:11.178
- And consequential here, which is love.
- 00:09:11.178 --> 00:09:14.281
- You know, brandon, i think what the families in minneapolis
- 00:09:15.416 --> 00:09:17.818
- Would love is peace and quiet
- 00:09:17.818 --> 00:09:20.521
- And no criminals in their neighborhoods.
- 00:09:20.521 --> 00:09:22.256
- What do you think?
- 00:09:22.256 --> 00:09:23.958
- Yeah, i think he meant he wants tyranny.
- 00:09:23.958 --> 00:09:26.661
- Because this is not love.
- 00:09:26.661 --> 00:09:28.062
- Love for who?
- 00:09:28.062 --> 00:09:29.397
- They clearly don't love the ice agents.
- 00:09:29.397 --> 00:09:31.332
- And obviously he doesn't.
- 00:09:31.332 --> 00:09:33.034
- He doesn't love law enforcement.
- 00:09:33.034 --> 00:09:34.568
- Because what you're doing when you have
- 00:09:34.568 --> 00:09:36.537
- Local law enforcement not participating or supporting
- 00:09:36.537 --> 00:09:39.140
- Federal law enforcement,
- 00:09:39.140 --> 00:09:40.174
- It's almost like a parent having siblings
- 00:09:40.174 --> 00:09:42.877
- Have a rivalry together
- 00:09:42.877 --> 00:09:44.245
- Where you see an injustice happening to your older brother.
- 00:09:44.245 --> 00:09:47.348
- But they're telling the younger brother,
- 00:09:47.348 --> 00:09:48.749
- You can't intervene and you better not help him.
- 00:09:48.749 --> 00:09:51.252
- That's exactly the way i see this.
- 00:09:51.252 --> 00:09:53.087
- When you put the badge on, put the uniform,
- 00:09:53.087 --> 00:09:55.690
- You raise your hand to swear an oath.
- 00:09:55.690 --> 00:09:57.692
- You are here to protect the greater good of society.
- 00:09:57.692 --> 00:10:00.528
- And just because the federal government
- 00:10:00.528 --> 00:10:02.029
- Is now present in your city
- 00:10:02.029 --> 00:10:03.664
- Doesn't mean that you somehow lose your oath.
- 00:10:03.664 --> 00:10:05.833
- People bludgeoning law enforcement
- 00:10:05.833 --> 00:10:07.535
- Agents are doing things
- 00:10:07.535 --> 00:10:09.203
- That are nefarious, are committing crimes.
- 00:10:09.203 --> 00:10:11.706
- It is up to us to enforce that law at least help in detention.
- 00:10:11.706 --> 00:10:15.609
- And we did it very effectively in tucson, arizona,
- 00:10:15.609 --> 00:10:18.612
- When i was a police officer and we had to sb 1076.
- 00:10:18.612 --> 00:10:22.316
- And what that means is that when we encounter
- 00:10:22.316 --> 00:10:24.618
- Somebody that was an illegal alien, we held them
- 00:10:24.618 --> 00:10:28.522
- And we contact the border patrol
- 00:10:28.522 --> 00:10:30.257
- And said,
- 00:10:30.257 --> 00:10:31.425
- Is this a person of interest that we need to hold on to
- 00:10:31.425 --> 00:10:32.893
- So you can come and respond and take custody of this person?
- 00:10:32.893 --> 00:10:35.563
- Or if they could not respond to the scene
- 00:10:35.563 --> 00:10:37.998
- When we do book them on municipal crimes or are a state
- 00:10:37.998 --> 00:10:41.535
- Level crimes, we hold them on what we call the ice hold.
- 00:10:41.535 --> 00:10:45.339
- So the ice has an opportunity to engage with that person
- 00:10:45.339 --> 00:10:48.242
- Before they're released back into the community.
- 00:10:48.242 --> 00:10:50.311
- That works very smoothly.
- 00:10:50.311 --> 00:10:52.046
- Therefore, we don't have anyone in the community,
- 00:10:52.046 --> 00:10:54.148
- And all of it is handled by law enforcement.
- 00:10:54.148 --> 00:10:57.118
- And the public can have a peaceful night's sleep
- 00:10:57.118 --> 00:10:59.653
- Because they don't have to worry about all the,
- 00:10:59.653 --> 00:11:01.188
- You know, the drama that comes along with that.
- 00:11:01.188 --> 00:11:03.591
- Well, there is some good news.
- 00:11:04.191 --> 00:11:05.626
- Murder rates are down nationwide, and that's
- 00:11:05.626 --> 00:11:07.695
- Credit to local police and the federal authorities.
- 00:11:07.695 --> 00:11:10.698
- When they're allowed to do their job,
- 00:11:10.698 --> 00:11:12.099
- The nation's
- 00:11:12.099 --> 00:11:13.234
- Police force is moving things in the right direction.
- 00:11:13.234 --> 00:11:15.669
- The officers who,
- 00:11:15.669 --> 00:11:16.470
- You know,
- 00:11:16.470 --> 00:11:17.438
- Want to be free to do their job, and do they
- 00:11:17.438 --> 00:11:18.939
- Give credit to the president for supporting them?
- 00:11:18.939 --> 00:11:22.009
- Every police officer that i know,
- 00:11:22.009 --> 00:11:24.678
- I don't know any they don't have common sense, to be honest.
- 00:11:24.678 --> 00:11:27.047
- Maybe i haven't ran into those guys yet,
- 00:11:27.047 --> 00:11:28.716
- But every police officer that i know
- 00:11:28.716 --> 00:11:30.785
- Gives credit to the administration
- 00:11:30.785 --> 00:11:33.187
- That standing up for them,
- 00:11:33.187 --> 00:11:34.555
- That's giving them the right to do their job.
- 00:11:34.555 --> 00:11:36.824
- That's also acting in the interests of law enforcement
- 00:11:36.824 --> 00:11:39.527
- By protecting the community.
- 00:11:39.527 --> 00:11:41.128
- That's what this is all about.
- 00:11:41.128 --> 00:11:42.229
- At the end of the day,
- 00:11:42.229 --> 00:11:43.430
- These laws are implemented
- 00:11:43.430 --> 00:11:44.765
- In place in the support of law enforcement
- 00:11:44.765 --> 00:11:46.534
- Is to ultimately protect the community.
- 00:11:46.534 --> 00:11:48.769
- And i think, pastor jackson, if people don't understand what
- 00:11:48.769 --> 00:11:52.540
- Law enforcement officers are, aliens,
- 00:11:52.540 --> 00:11:54.875
- They don't come from another planet to patrol in america.
- 00:11:54.875 --> 00:11:57.278
- They live in these communities.
- 00:11:57.278 --> 00:11:58.712
- They're humans to their families
- 00:11:58.712 --> 00:12:00.114
- Who have to grow up in these communities.
- 00:12:00.114 --> 00:12:01.348
- And when they take the badge off, when they're off duty,
- 00:12:01.348 --> 00:12:03.350
- They are citizens, just like anybody else,
- 00:12:03.350 --> 00:12:05.419
- Paying taxes and doing all the things
- 00:12:05.419 --> 00:12:07.354
- That are afforded to citizens that live in this country.
- 00:12:07.354 --> 00:12:10.491
- And i think that that's getting lost, in the rhetoric.
- 00:12:10.491 --> 00:12:14.061
- But every law enforcement
- 00:12:14.061 --> 00:12:15.863
- Officer that i know of are excited about what
- 00:12:15.863 --> 00:12:18.599
- This administration is doing, and they look forward
- 00:12:18.599 --> 00:12:20.334
- To further administrations acting, are treating
- 00:12:20.334 --> 00:12:23.003
- Law enforcement with the respect that they deserve.
- 00:12:23.003 --> 00:12:25.206
- Well, brandon, we need to take a short break.
- 00:12:26.073 --> 00:12:27.608
- Can you standby for another segment?
- 00:12:27.608 --> 00:12:29.977
- Yes, sir.
- 00:12:29.977 --> 00:12:30.744
- We'll be right back.
- 00:12:30.744 --> 00:12:38.011
- We'll be right back.
- 00:12:38.011 --> 00:12:42.133
- We're back
- 00:12:42.434 --> 00:12:43.635
- Now with the host of the officer tatum show, brandon tatum.
- 00:12:43.635 --> 00:12:46.938
- You know, the airwaves have been filled
- 00:12:46.938 --> 00:12:48.506
- With the very tragic case of nancy guthrie.
- 00:12:48.506 --> 00:12:51.142
- It's the mother of the today show host, savannah guthrie.
- 00:12:51.142 --> 00:12:53.979
- And with good reason.
- 00:12:53.979 --> 00:12:55.180
- Is an 84 year old mother of such a well-known public figure
- 00:12:55.180 --> 00:12:58.583
- And one with a pacemaker.
- 00:12:58.583 --> 00:13:00.485
- But it reminded me
- 00:13:00.485 --> 00:13:01.486
- Of a different missing person story
- 00:13:01.486 --> 00:13:03.421
- That i've not seen in the legacy media.
- 00:13:03.421 --> 00:13:05.690
- So the 300,000 missing children that were smuggled
- 00:13:05.690 --> 00:13:08.560
- Here to be used as cheap labor and for sex trafficking,
- 00:13:08.560 --> 00:13:12.430
- As bobby kennedy has explained
- 00:13:12.430 --> 00:13:14.132
- Repeatedly, listen to his comments.
- 00:13:14.132 --> 00:13:16.968
- During the biden administration, hhs became a collaborator
- 00:13:16.968 --> 00:13:21.539
- In child trafficking and for sex and for work,
- 00:13:21.539 --> 00:13:26.077
- For slavery.
- 00:13:26.411 --> 00:13:27.579
- And we have entered the terri as going out and trying
- 00:13:27.579 --> 00:13:30.982
- To find these 3000 children at the lost
- 00:13:30.982 --> 00:13:35.120
- Brand.
- 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:36.388
- And this is unthinkable to me, 300,000 children lost.
- 00:13:36.388 --> 00:13:38.990
- Why are they being ignored?
- 00:13:38.990 --> 00:13:41.860
- Well, because the mainstream media do not care.
- 00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:44.863
- It is not going to get them ratings
- 00:13:44.863 --> 00:13:47.132
- Because of their fan base and the people that listen to them.
- 00:13:47.132 --> 00:13:50.101
- If you actually talk about a real issue,
- 00:13:50.101 --> 00:13:52.470
- There is no way whatsoever that the grammys could go on
- 00:13:52.470 --> 00:13:56.241
- With all of those celebrity
- 00:13:56.241 --> 00:13:57.976
- Individuals going on stage and crying about ice
- 00:13:57.976 --> 00:14:01.112
- When they have to said nothing about these children.
- 00:14:01.112 --> 00:14:03.915
- Who's more vulnerable?
- 00:14:03.915 --> 00:14:05.216
- A person who wants to run over ice agent with a car,
- 00:14:05.216 --> 00:14:07.652
- Or another guy who engage physically with ice agents
- 00:14:07.652 --> 00:14:09.955
- With a gun on him, or children with no choice of their own.
- 00:14:09.955 --> 00:14:14.059
- They weren't able
- 00:14:14.059 --> 00:14:14.793
- To make a decision to say,
- 00:14:14.793 --> 00:14:16.061
- I want to be involved
- 00:14:16.061 --> 00:14:16.995
- In trafficking, but there's 300,000 of them.
- 00:14:16.995 --> 00:14:20.966
- I mean, that's a tremendous number.
- 00:14:20.966 --> 00:14:23.468
- And why are people why are people are not talking about
- 00:14:23.468 --> 00:14:26.604
- This is a telltale sign that they do not really care.
- 00:14:26.604 --> 00:14:30.842
- They only want to signal virtue.
- 00:14:30.842 --> 00:14:33.578
- They only want to weaponize
- 00:14:33.578 --> 00:14:35.180
- Empathy to pursue a political agenda.
- 00:14:35.180 --> 00:14:38.950
- And some of that
- 00:14:38.950 --> 00:14:40.051
- Political agenda is their hatred of president trump.
- 00:14:40.051 --> 00:14:43.221
- It doesn't matter what happens.
- 00:14:43.221 --> 00:14:44.889
- They hate him so much that if he's talking about,
- 00:14:44.889 --> 00:14:48.393
- Trafficking with children, they don't care about it.
- 00:14:48.393 --> 00:14:50.862
- If this was the opposite
- 00:14:50.862 --> 00:14:52.564
- Way around, or if this is what barack obama
- 00:14:52.564 --> 00:14:54.532
- Or one of their people who are standing up and saying
- 00:14:54.532 --> 00:14:57.235
- Children are being trafficked because of donald trump,
- 00:14:57.235 --> 00:15:00.205
- They will be all over it.
- 00:15:00.205 --> 00:15:01.339
- They'll have pennants in and they'll have banners
- 00:15:01.339 --> 00:15:04.175
- And there'll be protest in the street over it.
- 00:15:04.175 --> 00:15:06.044
- And it just it just tells you that they don't care.
- 00:15:06.044 --> 00:15:09.447
- It's all virtue signaling.
- 00:15:09.447 --> 00:15:11.016
- You mentioned the grammys.
- 00:15:11.583 --> 00:15:12.684
- I'd like to get your thoughts on the grammy winner,
- 00:15:12.684 --> 00:15:14.819
- Who made the comment that no one is illegal on stolen land.
- 00:15:14.819 --> 00:15:18.356
- It turns out that this woman,
- 00:15:18.990 --> 00:15:20.125
- Billie o'connell, she goes by billie eilish.
- 00:15:20.125 --> 00:15:22.327
- She lives in a large estate.
- 00:15:22.327 --> 00:15:23.695
- It's land that belonged to the tonga indian tribe.
- 00:15:23.695 --> 00:15:26.731
- Drive says they haven't been contacted by the artist.
- 00:15:26.731 --> 00:15:29.667
- Not sure they will.
- 00:15:29.667 --> 00:15:31.169
- Now, do you think this may get worked out?
- 00:15:31.169 --> 00:15:33.872
- Well, of course she's not going to contact them.
- 00:15:33.872 --> 00:15:36.174
- Of course she's going to act like it never happened.
- 00:15:36.174 --> 00:15:38.076
- She's going to get on a private jet.
- 00:15:38.076 --> 00:15:39.477
- They're going to do a dinner tonight,
- 00:15:39.477 --> 00:15:40.712
- And she's going to go back to the house on stolen land,
- 00:15:40.712 --> 00:15:42.814
- Because it's only stolen land when she's pushing the agenda
- 00:15:42.814 --> 00:15:45.884
- Against donald trump.
- 00:15:45.884 --> 00:15:47.018
- You know,
- 00:15:47.018 --> 00:15:48.219
- The nonsensical behavior of these elitists is crazy to me.
- 00:15:48.219 --> 00:15:52.257
- How is it that you're so rich?
- 00:15:52.857 --> 00:15:55.260
- I know you have a publicist.
- 00:15:55.260 --> 00:15:56.895
- I know that you can use chatgpt.
- 00:15:56.895 --> 00:15:58.830
- You could do some level of research.
- 00:15:58.830 --> 00:16:00.231
- Maybe somebody should pass you a note and say, hey, hey,
- 00:16:00.231 --> 00:16:02.634
- Here's here's the facts and circumstances
- 00:16:02.634 --> 00:16:04.069
- Before you get on in front of the world
- 00:16:04.069 --> 00:16:05.970
- And say the dumbest thing on planet earth.
- 00:16:05.970 --> 00:16:08.773
- This land was not stolen.
- 00:16:08.773 --> 00:16:10.675
- This land had conquest and then also purchase.
- 00:16:10.675 --> 00:16:14.012
- If she study history at all.
- 00:16:14.012 --> 00:16:16.614
- And the fact of the matter
- 00:16:16.614 --> 00:16:18.516
- Is that she herself is the biggest hypocrite
- 00:16:18.516 --> 00:16:21.119
- By owning that multimillion dollar house.
- 00:16:21.119 --> 00:16:23.154
- And she won't even give,
- 00:16:23.154 --> 00:16:24.889
- Any kind of, remedy or what i can say.
- 00:16:24.889 --> 00:16:27.826
- I want to say reparations, but she won't even give a stipend.
- 00:16:27.826 --> 00:16:31.096
- She won't even give a portion of her earnings to the tribe
- 00:16:31.096 --> 00:16:33.832
- That she essentially has her has her house go on their land.
- 00:16:33.832 --> 00:16:38.169
- Before we run out of time, i'd like to end on a good note.
- 00:16:39.304 --> 00:16:42.407
- Every once in a while, we see videos of local police
- 00:16:42.407 --> 00:16:44.709
- Rescuing children
- 00:16:44.709 --> 00:16:45.677
- From an icy lake, or maybe a pet cat
- 00:16:45.677 --> 00:16:48.046
- That can't climb down from a tall tree.
- 00:16:48.046 --> 00:16:50.248
- Now we know the police do
- 00:16:50.248 --> 00:16:51.216
- All sorts of things that are rarely seen,
- 00:16:51.216 --> 00:16:53.318
- But they do them because they care.
- 00:16:53.318 --> 00:16:55.520
- So for those of us who are sick and tired of seeing
- 00:16:55.520 --> 00:16:57.856
- How the immigration agents are being treated,
- 00:16:57.856 --> 00:17:00.024
- Even while they're trying to
- 00:17:00.024 --> 00:17:00.959
- Keep us safe, how can we pay them back?
- 00:17:00.959 --> 00:17:04.662
- One thing you can do is saying thank you.
- 00:17:04.662 --> 00:17:07.565
- And when you see a border patrol agent,
- 00:17:07.565 --> 00:17:09.200
- Ice agent, or a police officer on the streets,
- 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:12.370
- People don't understand how much that means to,
- 00:17:12.370 --> 00:17:15.473
- Police officers.
- 00:17:15.473 --> 00:17:16.708
- They may not show it in their face,
- 00:17:16.708 --> 00:17:18.309
- But when they go home and they take the uniform off
- 00:17:18.309 --> 00:17:21.646
- After a long day of dealing with people
- 00:17:21.646 --> 00:17:23.781
- That's having the worst day of their lives,
- 00:17:23.781 --> 00:17:25.450
- They sit back and realize
- 00:17:25.450 --> 00:17:26.451
- That there are good people out there
- 00:17:26.451 --> 00:17:27.986
- Who actually appreciate the hard
- 00:17:27.986 --> 00:17:29.621
- Work and sacrifice that we're doing.
- 00:17:29.621 --> 00:17:31.356
- Also, the rhetoric that you put
- 00:17:31.356 --> 00:17:33.525
- On your social media platforms and to your friends.
- 00:17:33.525 --> 00:17:35.960
- How about you take the steps of being informed?
- 00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.496
- Therefore, you can inform others about the truth,
- 00:17:38.496 --> 00:17:40.598
- Whether it's a conversation at work
- 00:17:40.598 --> 00:17:42.400
- Or whether it's
- 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:43.668
- Something that you're retweeting or reposting on social media.
- 00:17:43.668 --> 00:17:46.171
- There's a myriad of different things, and i'll say this to
- 00:17:46.171 --> 00:17:48.439
- For all the good people out there
- 00:17:48.439 --> 00:17:49.908
- That want to protect and want to swear an oath.
- 00:17:49.908 --> 00:17:53.344
- How about you join ice?
- 00:17:53.344 --> 00:17:55.046
- How about you join a border patrol?
- 00:17:55.046 --> 00:17:56.781
- How about you join local law enforcement,
- 00:17:56.781 --> 00:17:58.750
- And you use the abilities and talents and blessings
- 00:17:58.750 --> 00:18:02.220
- That god has given you to be a blessing to somebody else?
- 00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:05.590
- I think those
- 00:18:05.590 --> 00:18:06.658
- If you could do those things, i think we'll see
- 00:18:06.658 --> 00:18:07.992
- A better country and a better morale in law enforcement.
- 00:18:07.992 --> 00:18:10.728
- Brandon, thanks for sharing your time
- 00:18:11.529 --> 00:18:13.298
- And experiences with our viewers.
- 00:18:13.298 --> 00:18:15.099
- You can hear
- 00:18:15.099 --> 00:18:16.134
- Brandon every day on the office or daytime show,
- 00:18:16.134 --> 00:18:17.835
- So one way you can be better informed.
- 00:18:17.835 --> 00:18:19.938
- Thank you brandon.
- 00:18:19.938 --> 00:18:21.973
- God bless you.
- 00:18:21.973 --> 00:18:23.007
- In a moment, your emails, helpful comments,
- 00:18:23.007 --> 00:18:25.710
- And lots of great questions.
- 00:18:25.710 --> 00:18:27.111
- I'll be right back.
- 00:18:27.111 --> 00:18:34.020
- I'll be right back.
- 00:18:34.020 --> 00:18:38.724
- Thank you for taking the time
- 00:18:39.358 --> 00:18:40.659
- To share your thoughts and your emails with us.
- 00:18:40.659 --> 00:18:43.128
- Joyce im from ann arbor, michigan
- 00:18:43.128 --> 00:18:45.965
- So immigration laws do not violate god's word.
- 00:18:45.965 --> 00:18:49.134
- But supporting, enabling or encouraging
- 00:18:49.134 --> 00:18:51.937
- Illegal immigration is a violation of god's word.
- 00:18:51.937 --> 00:18:55.107
- He's placed in authority over us.
- 00:18:55.107 --> 00:18:57.943
- The bible also says, do not use your freedom
- 00:18:57.943 --> 00:19:00.012
- As a cover up for evil.
- 00:19:00.012 --> 00:19:01.680
- Do you see the protests
- 00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:03.082
- Across the country against isis as a cover up for evil?
- 00:19:03.082 --> 00:19:06.218
- Your thoughts please.
- 00:19:06.719 --> 00:19:09.255
- Well, i
- 00:19:09.488 --> 00:19:10.656
- Think the real challenge is just ignoring federal law.
- 00:19:10.656 --> 00:19:13.492
- And while they're protesting against ice,
- 00:19:13.492 --> 00:19:15.628
- They have the right to do that.
- 00:19:15.628 --> 00:19:16.729
- But they're not doing it in a peaceful manner.
- 00:19:16.729 --> 00:19:18.931
- They're putting the lives of the citizens
- 00:19:18.931 --> 00:19:20.699
- Of the communities at risk,
- 00:19:20.699 --> 00:19:21.834
- The lives of the law enforcement officers at risk.
- 00:19:21.834 --> 00:19:24.837
- Well, there's nothing peaceful
- 00:19:24.837 --> 00:19:25.838
- About those protests we're watching.
- 00:19:25.838 --> 00:19:27.840
- They are pay to agitators, and they're very well coordinated.
- 00:19:27.840 --> 00:19:30.643
- It's got to stop.
- 00:19:30.643 --> 00:19:32.411
- Christopher s in rochester, new york, said
- 00:19:32.411 --> 00:19:35.281
- Regarding those who are protesting
- 00:19:35.281 --> 00:19:36.815
- Over the treatment of the illegal immigrants,
- 00:19:36.815 --> 00:19:39.218
- Wasn't it jesus who said
- 00:19:39.218 --> 00:19:40.619
- We should take care of the poor, the foreigner and widows?
- 00:19:40.619 --> 00:19:43.856
- Jesus never said to protest
- 00:19:43.856 --> 00:19:45.324
- For these groups, those groups of people.
- 00:19:45.324 --> 00:19:47.393
- If those protesting genuinely care
- 00:19:47.393 --> 00:19:49.261
- About those who are here illegally.
- 00:19:49.261 --> 00:19:51.030
- Why not coordinate a government plan
- 00:19:51.030 --> 00:19:53.098
- For each protester to adopt a person or family?
- 00:19:53.098 --> 00:19:56.502
- Take them into their home to shelter, feed and clothe them
- 00:19:56.502 --> 00:19:59.338
- And assist them in acquiring legal citizenship
- 00:19:59.338 --> 00:20:02.508
- That would be more helpful and lawful for everyone.
- 00:20:02.508 --> 00:20:06.111
- Christopher, i think you're on to something.
- 00:20:06.111 --> 00:20:08.614
- Good luck with selling that notion
- 00:20:08.614 --> 00:20:10.949
- To those who are protesting.
- 00:20:10.949 --> 00:20:13.018
- I'm not sure they share your rather high view of scripture
- 00:20:13.018 --> 00:20:16.388
- And jesus instructions.
- 00:20:16.388 --> 00:20:18.557
- Surely a in washington ask alan, do you suppose
- 00:20:19.458 --> 00:20:22.895
- The paid protesters are paying income taxes?
- 00:20:22.895 --> 00:20:26.231
- Well, i'm not sure.
- 00:20:26.699 --> 00:20:27.800
- But i do think that thanks to president trump's
- 00:20:27.800 --> 00:20:29.935
- No tax on tips, many of them are as good as it.
- 00:20:29.935 --> 00:20:33.238
- Be grateful to say they're just being tipped to protest.
- 00:20:33.238 --> 00:20:36.375
- Whatever the real truth is,
- 00:20:36.975 --> 00:20:38.277
- I'm tired of them, but i hope they go away.
- 00:20:38.277 --> 00:20:40.746
- Thank you for spending a few minutes of your day with us.
- 00:20:40.746 --> 00:20:43.349
- God's moving in the earth, and because of that,
- 00:20:43.349 --> 00:20:45.551
- There are more reasons for hope than despair, i promise.
- 00:20:45.551 --> 00:20:48.654
- I'm alan jackson.
- 00:20:49.088 --> 00:20:50.189
- You have a good evening.
- 00:20:50.189 --> 00:20:50.189
