Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Street Anarchy | Allen Jackson Now | February 16, 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 --> 00:04:27.297
Welcome back.
00:04:27.664 --> 00:04:28.998
Imagine this.
00:04:28.998 --> 00:04:29.966
Something happens at your home
00:04:29.966 --> 00:04:31.334
Or in your car, and you immediately dial 911.
00:04:31.334 --> 00:04:34.504
It rings and rings, but no one answers.
00:04:34.504 --> 00:04:36.740
So you try it again.
00:04:36.740 --> 00:04:38.241
And still no answer.
00:04:38.241 --> 00:04:39.909
Well, that's what's on its way of certain.
00:04:39.909 --> 00:04:41.611
Mayors continue to ignore the law
00:04:41.611 --> 00:04:43.580
And let criminals go free.
00:04:43.580 --> 00:04:45.715
They brag about being on the side of the criminals,
00:04:45.715 --> 00:04:48.418
And they're so interested in taking shots at president trump
00:04:48.418 --> 00:04:51.321
That they're risking our lives
00:04:51.321 --> 00:04:52.856
To advance their personal lawless agenda.
00:04:52.856 --> 00:04:56.025
Well, our guest tonight has actually answered
00:04:56.025 --> 00:04:57.861
The 911 calls many times in his career.
00:04:57.861 --> 00:05:01.197
He's a former police officer.
00:05:01.197 --> 00:05:02.465
He's a friend, and he's the host of the officer tatum show.
00:05:02.465 --> 00:05:06.236
Brandon tatum, welcome back.
00:05:06.236 --> 00:05:09.272
Well, thanks for having me.
00:05:09.272 --> 00:05:10.140
I'm glad to be back.
00:05:10.140 --> 00:05:12.008
I think we've all seen the street mobs
00:05:12.008 --> 00:05:13.743
That are running things in minneapolis.
00:05:13.743 --> 00:05:15.311
They're organized, paid protesters
00:05:15.311 --> 00:05:17.814
Who get trained to fight the police.
00:05:17.814 --> 00:05:19.549
They create stunts for the news cameras,
00:05:19.549 --> 00:05:21.885
And they do whatever they can to disrupt any law and order.
00:05:21.885 --> 00:05:24.988
The mayor of minneapolis is openly supporting them
00:05:24.988 --> 00:05:27.424
And telling the local police to stay out of it.
00:05:27.424 --> 00:05:30.226
What are your initial thoughts on this loss of law and order?
00:05:30.226 --> 00:05:33.163
There?
00:05:33.163 --> 00:05:34.531
Well, it's been very,
00:05:35.031 --> 00:05:37.934
Disheartening.
00:05:37.934 --> 00:05:39.002
Confusing, perplexing.
00:05:39.002 --> 00:05:41.037
Upsetting, frustrating.
00:05:41.037 --> 00:05:42.939
I mean, i can go down
00:05:42.939 --> 00:05:43.973
The gamut of the words that come to my mind
00:05:43.973 --> 00:05:46.176
When i see how foolish these people are,
00:05:46.176 --> 00:05:48.445
And they're foolish for no real good reason
00:05:48.445 --> 00:05:51.147
Other than to be evil.
00:05:51.147 --> 00:05:52.582
It's a thought.
00:05:52.582 --> 00:05:54.250
The will of the people who voted for the president
00:05:54.250 --> 00:05:57.220
Of the united states to activate real,
00:05:57.220 --> 00:06:00.089
Immigration enforcement is not that hard.
00:06:00.089 --> 00:06:03.693
These people who we are arresting.
00:06:03.693 --> 00:06:05.662
And when i say we, they mean
00:06:05.662 --> 00:06:06.663
The united states of america are arresting
00:06:06.663 --> 00:06:08.598
Who are illegally in this country, have committed
00:06:08.598 --> 00:06:10.667
Some of the most heinous crimes you can think of.
00:06:10.667 --> 00:06:12.869
And even beyond the heinous crimes.
00:06:12.869 --> 00:06:15.205
If you have cheated the line and you jumped to the front,
00:06:15.205 --> 00:06:18.808
You snuck under the fence, you've evaded immigration court.
00:06:18.808 --> 00:06:22.245
You need to be held accountable.
00:06:22.245 --> 00:06:25.148
And i do not understand for the life of me
00:06:25.148 --> 00:06:27.717
Why somebody would put their life in danger,
00:06:27.717 --> 00:06:30.086
Why they would
00:06:30.086 --> 00:06:31.154
Blockade the roads and do any of that foolish stuff
00:06:31.154 --> 00:06:33.723
In order to protect people that should be held accountable.
00:06:33.723 --> 00:06:36.726
And also, it's it's frightening that somebody is funding this.
00:06:36.726 --> 00:06:40.897
I don't know who's paying these people
00:06:40.897 --> 00:06:42.432
To sit outside all day long.
00:06:42.432 --> 00:06:44.167
They must not have a job in order to protest.
00:06:44.167 --> 00:06:47.103
That's not really what the the constitution
00:06:47.103 --> 00:06:50.273
At least alluded to when it comes to protest,
00:06:50.273 --> 00:06:52.342
Not violating other people's constitutional rights,
00:06:52.342 --> 00:06:54.777
Not bludgeoning ice agents and stalking them.
00:06:54.777 --> 00:06:57.714
It was for you
00:06:57.714 --> 00:06:58.915
To let your voice be heard in a peaceful, reasonable manner
00:06:58.915 --> 00:07:01.451
Without thwarting someone else. constitutional rights.
00:07:01.451 --> 00:07:04.387
Amen.
00:07:04.621 --> 00:07:05.822
Well, i've been in many places around the world where laws,
00:07:05.822 --> 00:07:07.657
If there are any, are pretty much just ignored.
00:07:07.657 --> 00:07:10.660
Do you think the american people realize
00:07:10.660 --> 00:07:12.161
That these socialist mayors from new york to california,
00:07:12.161 --> 00:07:15.198
Are out to remake our country
00:07:15.198 --> 00:07:16.633
In a way that's not really going to work?
00:07:16.633 --> 00:07:20.036
Well, i think pastor jackson, if if they have it,
00:07:20.036 --> 00:07:23.339
They're going to find out very quickly
00:07:23.339 --> 00:07:26.242
If their cities aren't overrun yet, they will be.
00:07:26.242 --> 00:07:29.212
And like you mentioned, you know, early on
00:07:29.212 --> 00:07:31.514
Is that when you call the police,
00:07:31.514 --> 00:07:33.383
You're not going to get a violent response,
00:07:33.383 --> 00:07:35.418
You're not going to get
00:07:35.418 --> 00:07:36.452
A quick response, and you're not going to have
00:07:36.452 --> 00:07:37.887
Proactive policing in your community.
00:07:37.887 --> 00:07:39.722
You have to have a strong foundation of supported
00:07:39.722 --> 00:07:43.092
Law enforcement or everything is going to go to crap.
00:07:43.092 --> 00:07:46.195
And i think most people
00:07:46.195 --> 00:07:48.831
I will least i at least hope that most people
00:07:48.831 --> 00:07:51.601
With a connected brain stem can see what's going on.
00:07:51.601 --> 00:07:55.204
They're trying to thwart the law to benefit them politically,
00:07:55.204 --> 00:08:00.276
Not because it's benefiting the people,
00:08:00.276 --> 00:08:01.978
Not because it's benefiting the communities.
00:08:01.978 --> 00:08:03.713
It's because it's benefiting them in elections
00:08:03.713 --> 00:08:05.949
And other nefarious things
00:08:05.949 --> 00:08:07.216
That they have,
00:08:07.216 --> 00:08:08.217
That they're,
00:08:08.217 --> 00:08:09.052
You know, putting together the plot
00:08:09.052 --> 00:08:09.953
Against the american people.
00:08:09.953 --> 00:08:11.354
And i'm hoping
00:08:11.354 --> 00:08:12.455
That people wake up and be wise, be have an open mind
00:08:12.455 --> 00:08:15.892
If you are on this side
00:08:15.892 --> 00:08:17.260
And you're listening to the rhetoric here,
00:08:17.260 --> 00:08:18.861
Make sure that you go to the other side
00:08:18.861 --> 00:08:20.930
And listen to what they have to say.
00:08:20.930 --> 00:08:22.465
So you have a balanced perspective
00:08:22.465 --> 00:08:23.900
So you can make the right decision for yourself.
00:08:23.900 --> 00:08:26.703
Well, i want your perspective as a former officer.
00:08:26.703 --> 00:08:29.205
You know, i imagine it must be a real challenge
00:08:29.205 --> 00:08:31.040
For men and women in uniform to be forced to stand down
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.177
When they see criminals walking free.
00:08:34.177 --> 00:08:36.412
And yet, mayor frye is telling him
00:08:36.412 --> 00:08:37.714
Not to assist the search, or even to keep the peace
00:08:37.714 --> 00:08:40.383
When the protesters are throwing things
00:08:40.383 --> 00:08:42.051
At the men and women of ice blocking streets.
00:08:42.051 --> 00:08:44.754
Listen to how the mayor has tried to turn the conversation
00:08:44.754 --> 00:08:47.223
In a different direction, claiming
00:08:47.223 --> 00:08:48.992
That these are all peaceful demonstrations.
00:08:48.992 --> 00:08:51.761
We have had tens of thousands of people
00:08:51.761 --> 00:08:55.798
In minneapolis stand up and protest peacefully.
00:08:55.798 --> 00:08:59.836
I think it's important to tell the whole country that
00:08:59.836 --> 00:09:02.839
This is not just about resistance here in minneapolis.
00:09:02.839 --> 00:09:06.743
It's about love.
00:09:06.743 --> 00:09:08.144
We are showing something far more powerful
00:09:08.144 --> 00:09:11.180
And consequential here, which is love.
00:09:11.180 --> 00:09:14.283
You know, brandon, i think what the families in minneapolis
00:09:15.418 --> 00:09:17.820
Would love is peace and quiet
00:09:17.820 --> 00:09:20.523
And no criminals in their neighborhoods.
00:09:20.523 --> 00:09:22.258
What do you think?
00:09:22.258 --> 00:09:23.960
Yeah, i think he meant he wants tyranny.
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.663
Because this is not love.
00:09:26.663 --> 00:09:28.064
Love for who?
00:09:28.064 --> 00:09:29.399
They clearly don't love the ice agents.
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:31.334
And obviously he doesn't.
00:09:31.334 --> 00:09:33.036
He doesn't love law enforcement.
00:09:33.036 --> 00:09:34.570
Because what you're doing when you have
00:09:34.570 --> 00:09:36.539
Local law enforcement not participating or supporting
00:09:36.539 --> 00:09:39.142
Federal law enforcement,
00:09:39.142 --> 00:09:40.176
It's almost like a parent having siblings
00:09:40.176 --> 00:09:42.879
Have a rivalry together
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:44.247
Where you see an injustice happening to your older brother.
00:09:44.247 --> 00:09:47.350
But they're telling the younger brother,
00:09:47.350 --> 00:09:48.751
You can't intervene and you better not help him.
00:09:48.751 --> 00:09:51.254
That's exactly the way i see this.
00:09:51.254 --> 00:09:53.089
When you put the badge on, put the uniform,
00:09:53.089 --> 00:09:55.692
You raise your hand to swear an oath.
00:09:55.692 --> 00:09:57.694
You are here to protect the greater good of society.
00:09:57.694 --> 00:10:00.530
And just because the federal government
00:10:00.530 --> 00:10:02.031
Is now present in your city
00:10:02.031 --> 00:10:03.666
Doesn't mean that you somehow lose your oath.
00:10:03.666 --> 00:10:05.835
People bludgeoning law enforcement
00:10:05.835 --> 00:10:07.537
Agents are doing things
00:10:07.537 --> 00:10:09.205
That are nefarious, are committing crimes.
00:10:09.205 --> 00:10:11.708
It is up to us to enforce that law at least help in detention.
00:10:11.708 --> 00:10:15.611
And we did it very effectively in tucson, arizona,
00:10:15.611 --> 00:10:18.614
When i was a police officer and we had to sb 1076.
00:10:18.614 --> 00:10:22.318
And what that means is that when we encounter
00:10:22.318 --> 00:10:24.620
Somebody that was an illegal alien, we held them
00:10:24.620 --> 00:10:28.524
And we contact the border patrol
00:10:28.524 --> 00:10:30.259
And said,
00:10:30.259 --> 00:10:31.427
Is this a person of interest that we need to hold on to
00:10:31.427 --> 00:10:32.895
So you can come and respond and take custody of this person?
00:10:32.895 --> 00:10:35.565
Or if they could not respond to the scene
00:10:35.565 --> 00:10:38.000
When we do book them on municipal crimes or are a state
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.537
Level crimes, we hold them on what we call the ice hold.
00:10:41.537 --> 00:10:45.341
So the ice has an opportunity to engage with that person
00:10:45.341 --> 00:10:48.244
Before they're released back into the community.
00:10:48.244 --> 00:10:50.313
That works very smoothly.
00:10:50.313 --> 00:10:52.048
Therefore, we don't have anyone in the community,
00:10:52.048 --> 00:10:54.150
And all of it is handled by law enforcement.
00:10:54.150 --> 00:10:57.120
And the public can have a peaceful night's sleep
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.655
Because they don't have to worry about all the,
00:10:59.655 --> 00:11:01.190
You know, the drama that comes along with that.
00:11:01.190 --> 00:11:03.593
Well, there is some good news.
00:11:04.193 --> 00:11:05.628
Murder rates are down nationwide, and that's
00:11:05.628 --> 00:11:07.697
Credit to local police and the federal authorities.
00:11:07.697 --> 00:11:10.700
When they're allowed to do their job,
00:11:10.700 --> 00:11:12.101
The nation's
00:11:12.101 --> 00:11:13.236
Police force is moving things in the right direction.
00:11:13.236 --> 00:11:15.671
The officers who,
00:11:15.671 --> 00:11:16.472
You know,
00:11:16.472 --> 00:11:17.440
Want to be free to do their job, and do they
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:18.941
Give credit to the president for supporting them?
00:11:18.941 --> 00:11:22.011
Every police officer that i know,
00:11:22.011 --> 00:11:24.680
I don't know any they don't have common sense, to be honest.
00:11:24.680 --> 00:11:27.049
Maybe i haven't ran into those guys yet,
00:11:27.049 --> 00:11:28.718
But every police officer that i know
00:11:28.718 --> 00:11:30.787
Gives credit to the administration
00:11:30.787 --> 00:11:33.189
That standing up for them,
00:11:33.189 --> 00:11:34.557
That's giving them the right to do their job.
00:11:34.557 --> 00:11:36.826
That's also acting in the interests of law enforcement
00:11:36.826 --> 00:11:39.529
By protecting the community.
00:11:39.529 --> 00:11:41.130
That's what this is all about.
00:11:41.130 --> 00:11:42.231
At the end of the day,
00:11:42.231 --> 00:11:43.432
These laws are implemented
00:11:43.432 --> 00:11:44.767
In place in the support of law enforcement
00:11:44.767 --> 00:11:46.536
Is to ultimately protect the community.
00:11:46.536 --> 00:11:48.771
And i think, pastor jackson, if people don't understand what
00:11:48.771 --> 00:11:52.542
Law enforcement officers are, aliens,
00:11:52.542 --> 00:11:54.877
They don't come from another planet to patrol in america.
00:11:54.877 --> 00:11:57.280
They live in these communities.
00:11:57.280 --> 00:11:58.714
They're humans to their families
00:11:58.714 --> 00:12:00.116
Who have to grow up in these communities.
00:12:00.116 --> 00:12:01.350
And when they take the badge off, when they're off duty,
00:12:01.350 --> 00:12:03.352
They are citizens, just like anybody else,
00:12:03.352 --> 00:12:05.421
Paying taxes and doing all the things
00:12:05.421 --> 00:12:07.356
That are afforded to citizens that live in this country.
00:12:07.356 --> 00:12:10.493
And i think that that's getting lost, in the rhetoric.
00:12:10.493 --> 00:12:14.063
But every law enforcement
00:12:14.063 --> 00:12:15.865
Officer that i know of are excited about what
00:12:15.865 --> 00:12:18.601
This administration is doing, and they look forward
00:12:18.601 --> 00:12:20.336
To further administrations acting, are treating
00:12:20.336 --> 00:12:23.005
Law enforcement with the respect that they deserve.
00:12:23.005 --> 00:12:25.208
Well, brandon, we need to take a short break.
00:12:26.075 --> 00:12:27.610
Can you standby for another segment?
00:12:27.610 --> 00:12:29.979
Yes, sir.
00:12:29.979 --> 00:12:30.746
We'll be right back.
00:12:30.746 --> 00:12:39.005
We'll be right back.
00:12:39.005 --> 00:12:44.118
We're back
00:12:44.419 --> 00:12:45.620
Now with the host of the officer tatum show, brandon tatum.
00:12:45.620 --> 00:12:48.923
You know, the airwaves have been filled
00:12:48.923 --> 00:12:50.491
With the very tragic case of nancy guthrie.
00:12:50.491 --> 00:12:53.127
It's the mother of the today show host, savannah guthrie.
00:12:53.127 --> 00:12:55.964
And with good reason.
00:12:55.964 --> 00:12:57.165
Is an 84 year old mother of such a well-known public figure
00:12:57.165 --> 00:13:00.568
And one with a pacemaker.
00:13:00.568 --> 00:13:02.470
But it reminded me
00:13:02.470 --> 00:13:03.471
Of a different missing person story
00:13:03.471 --> 00:13:05.406
That i've not seen in the legacy media.
00:13:05.406 --> 00:13:07.675
So the 300,000 missing children that were smuggled
00:13:07.675 --> 00:13:10.545
Here to be used as cheap labor and for sex trafficking,
00:13:10.545 --> 00:13:14.415
As bobby kennedy has explained
00:13:14.415 --> 00:13:16.117
Repeatedly, listen to his comments.
00:13:16.117 --> 00:13:18.953
During the biden administration, hhs became a collaborator
00:13:18.953 --> 00:13:23.524
In child trafficking and for sex and for work,
00:13:23.524 --> 00:13:28.062
For slavery.
00:13:28.396 --> 00:13:29.564
And we have entered the terri as going out and trying
00:13:29.564 --> 00:13:32.967
To find these 3000 children at the lost
00:13:32.967 --> 00:13:37.105
Brand.
00:13:37.305 --> 00:13:38.373
And this is unthinkable to me, 300,000 children lost.
00:13:38.373 --> 00:13:40.975
Why are they being ignored?
00:13:40.975 --> 00:13:43.845
Well, because the mainstream media do not care.
00:13:43.845 --> 00:13:46.848
It is not going to get them ratings
00:13:46.848 --> 00:13:49.117
Because of their fan base and the people that listen to them.
00:13:49.117 --> 00:13:52.086
If you actually talk about a real issue,
00:13:52.086 --> 00:13:54.455
There is no way whatsoever that the grammys could go on
00:13:54.455 --> 00:13:58.226
With all of those celebrity
00:13:58.226 --> 00:13:59.961
Individuals going on stage and crying about ice
00:13:59.961 --> 00:14:03.097
When they have to said nothing about these children.
00:14:03.097 --> 00:14:05.900
Who's more vulnerable?
00:14:05.900 --> 00:14:07.201
A person who wants to run over ice agent with a car,
00:14:07.201 --> 00:14:09.637
Or another guy who engage physically with ice agents
00:14:09.637 --> 00:14:11.940
With a gun on him, or children with no choice of their own.
00:14:11.940 --> 00:14:16.044
They weren't able
00:14:16.044 --> 00:14:16.778
To make a decision to say,
00:14:16.778 --> 00:14:18.046
I want to be involved
00:14:18.046 --> 00:14:18.980
In trafficking, but there's 300,000 of them.
00:14:18.980 --> 00:14:22.951
I mean, that's a tremendous number.
00:14:22.951 --> 00:14:25.453
And why are people why are people are not talking about
00:14:25.453 --> 00:14:28.589
This is a telltale sign that they do not really care.
00:14:28.589 --> 00:14:32.827
They only want to signal virtue.
00:14:32.827 --> 00:14:35.563
They only want to weaponize
00:14:35.563 --> 00:14:37.165
Empathy to pursue a political agenda.
00:14:37.165 --> 00:14:40.935
And some of that
00:14:40.935 --> 00:14:42.036
Political agenda is their hatred of president trump.
00:14:42.036 --> 00:14:45.206
It doesn't matter what happens.
00:14:45.206 --> 00:14:46.874
They hate him so much that if he's talking about,
00:14:46.874 --> 00:14:50.378
Trafficking with children, they don't care about it.
00:14:50.378 --> 00:14:52.847
If this was the opposite
00:14:52.847 --> 00:14:54.549
Way around, or if this is what barack obama
00:14:54.549 --> 00:14:56.517
Or one of their people who are standing up and saying
00:14:56.517 --> 00:14:59.220
Children are being trafficked because of donald trump,
00:14:59.220 --> 00:15:02.190
They will be all over it.
00:15:02.190 --> 00:15:03.324
They'll have pennants in and they'll have banners
00:15:03.324 --> 00:15:06.160
And there'll be protest in the street over it.
00:15:06.160 --> 00:15:08.029
And it just it just tells you that they don't care.
00:15:08.029 --> 00:15:11.432
It's all virtue signaling.
00:15:11.432 --> 00:15:13.001
You mentioned the grammys.
00:15:13.568 --> 00:15:14.669
I'd like to get your thoughts on the grammy winner,
00:15:14.669 --> 00:15:16.804
Who made the comment that no one is illegal on stolen land.
00:15:16.804 --> 00:15:20.341
It turns out that this woman,
00:15:20.975 --> 00:15:22.110
Billie o'connell, she goes by billie eilish.
00:15:22.110 --> 00:15:24.312
She lives in a large estate.
00:15:24.312 --> 00:15:25.680
It's land that belonged to the tonga indian tribe.
00:15:25.680 --> 00:15:28.716
Drive says they haven't been contacted by the artist.
00:15:28.716 --> 00:15:31.652
Not sure they will.
00:15:31.652 --> 00:15:33.154
Now, do you think this may get worked out?
00:15:33.154 --> 00:15:35.857
Well, of course she's not going to contact them.
00:15:35.857 --> 00:15:38.159
Of course she's going to act like it never happened.
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:40.061
She's going to get on a private jet.
00:15:40.061 --> 00:15:41.462
They're going to do a dinner tonight,
00:15:41.462 --> 00:15:42.697
And she's going to go back to the house on stolen land,
00:15:42.697 --> 00:15:44.799
Because it's only stolen land when she's pushing the agenda
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.869
Against donald trump.
00:15:47.869 --> 00:15:49.003
You know,
00:15:49.003 --> 00:15:50.204
The nonsensical behavior of these elitists is crazy to me.
00:15:50.204 --> 00:15:54.242
How is it that you're so rich?
00:15:54.842 --> 00:15:57.245
I know you have a publicist.
00:15:57.245 --> 00:15:58.880
I know that you can use chatgpt.
00:15:58.880 --> 00:16:00.815
You could do some level of research.
00:16:00.815 --> 00:16:02.216
Maybe somebody should pass you a note and say, hey, hey,
00:16:02.216 --> 00:16:04.619
Here's here's the facts and circumstances
00:16:04.619 --> 00:16:06.054
Before you get on in front of the world
00:16:06.054 --> 00:16:07.955
And say the dumbest thing on planet earth.
00:16:07.955 --> 00:16:10.758
This land was not stolen.
00:16:10.758 --> 00:16:12.660
This land had conquest and then also purchase.
00:16:12.660 --> 00:16:15.997
If she study history at all.
00:16:15.997 --> 00:16:18.599
And the fact of the matter
00:16:18.599 --> 00:16:20.501
Is that she herself is the biggest hypocrite
00:16:20.501 --> 00:16:23.104
By owning that multimillion dollar house.
00:16:23.104 --> 00:16:25.139
And she won't even give,
00:16:25.139 --> 00:16:26.874
Any kind of, remedy or what i can say.
00:16:26.874 --> 00:16:29.811
I want to say reparations, but she won't even give a stipend.
00:16:29.811 --> 00:16:33.081
She won't even give a portion of her earnings to the tribe
00:16:33.081 --> 00:16:35.817
That she essentially has her has her house go on their land.
00:16:35.817 --> 00:16:40.154
Before we run out of time, i'd like to end on a good note.
00:16:41.289 --> 00:16:44.392
Every once in a while, we see videos of local police
00:16:44.392 --> 00:16:46.694
Rescuing children
00:16:46.694 --> 00:16:47.662
From an icy lake, or maybe a pet cat
00:16:47.662 --> 00:16:50.031
That can't climb down from a tall tree.
00:16:50.031 --> 00:16:52.233
Now we know the police do
00:16:52.233 --> 00:16:53.201
All sorts of things that are rarely seen,
00:16:53.201 --> 00:16:55.303
But they do them because they care.
00:16:55.303 --> 00:16:57.505
So for those of us who are sick and tired of seeing
00:16:57.505 --> 00:16:59.841
How the immigration agents are being treated,
00:16:59.841 --> 00:17:02.009
Even while they're trying to
00:17:02.009 --> 00:17:02.944
Keep us safe, how can we pay them back?
00:17:02.944 --> 00:17:06.647
One thing you can do is saying thank you.
00:17:06.647 --> 00:17:09.550
And when you see a border patrol agent,
00:17:09.550 --> 00:17:11.185
Ice agent, or a police officer on the streets,
00:17:11.185 --> 00:17:14.355
People don't understand how much that means to,
00:17:14.355 --> 00:17:17.458
Police officers.
00:17:17.458 --> 00:17:18.693
They may not show it in their face,
00:17:18.693 --> 00:17:20.294
But when they go home and they take the uniform off
00:17:20.294 --> 00:17:23.631
After a long day of dealing with people
00:17:23.631 --> 00:17:25.766
That's having the worst day of their lives,
00:17:25.766 --> 00:17:27.435
They sit back and realize
00:17:27.435 --> 00:17:28.436
That there are good people out there
00:17:28.436 --> 00:17:29.971
Who actually appreciate the hard
00:17:29.971 --> 00:17:31.606
Work and sacrifice that we're doing.
00:17:31.606 --> 00:17:33.341
Also, the rhetoric that you put
00:17:33.341 --> 00:17:35.510
On your social media platforms and to your friends.
00:17:35.510 --> 00:17:37.945
How about you take the steps of being informed?
00:17:37.945 --> 00:17:40.481
Therefore, you can inform others about the truth,
00:17:40.481 --> 00:17:42.583
Whether it's a conversation at work
00:17:42.583 --> 00:17:44.385
Or whether it's
00:17:44.385 --> 00:17:45.653
Something that you're retweeting or reposting on social media.
00:17:45.653 --> 00:17:48.156
There's a myriad of different things, and i'll say this to
00:17:48.156 --> 00:17:50.424
For all the good people out there
00:17:50.424 --> 00:17:51.893
That want to protect and want to swear an oath.
00:17:51.893 --> 00:17:55.329
How about you join ice?
00:17:55.329 --> 00:17:57.031
How about you join a border patrol?
00:17:57.031 --> 00:17:58.766
How about you join local law enforcement,
00:17:58.766 --> 00:18:00.735
And you use the abilities and talents and blessings
00:18:00.735 --> 00:18:04.205
That god has given you to be a blessing to somebody else?
00:18:04.205 --> 00:18:07.575
I think those
00:18:07.575 --> 00:18:08.643
If you could do those things, i think we'll see
00:18:08.643 --> 00:18:09.977
A better country and a better morale in law enforcement.
00:18:09.977 --> 00:18:12.713
Brandon, thanks for sharing your time
00:18:13.514 --> 00:18:15.283
And experiences with our viewers.
00:18:15.283 --> 00:18:17.084
You can hear
00:18:17.084 --> 00:18:18.119
Brandon every day on the office or daytime show,
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:19.820
So one way you can be better informed.
00:18:19.820 --> 00:18:21.923
Thank you brandon.
00:18:21.923 --> 00:18:23.958
God bless you.
00:18:23.958 --> 00:18:24.992
In a moment, your emails, helpful comments,
00:18:24.992 --> 00:18:27.695
And lots of great questions.
00:18:27.695 --> 00:18:29.096
I'll be right back.
00:18:29.096 --> 00:18:36.996
I'll be right back.
00:18:36.996 --> 00:18:41.702
Thank you for taking the time
00:18:42.336 --> 00:18:43.637
To share your thoughts and your emails with us.
00:18:43.637 --> 00:18:46.106
Joyce im from ann arbor, michigan
00:18:46.106 --> 00:18:48.943
So immigration laws do not violate god's word.
00:18:48.943 --> 00:18:52.112
But supporting, enabling or encouraging
00:18:52.112 --> 00:18:54.915
Illegal immigration is a violation of god's word.
00:18:54.915 --> 00:18:58.085
He's placed in authority over us.
00:18:58.085 --> 00:19:00.921
The bible also says, do not use your freedom
00:19:00.921 --> 00:19:02.990
As a cover up for evil.
00:19:02.990 --> 00:19:04.658
Do you see the protests
00:19:04.658 --> 00:19:06.060
Across the country against isis as a cover up for evil?
00:19:06.060 --> 00:19:09.196
Your thoughts please.
00:19:09.697 --> 00:19:12.233
Well, i
00:19:12.466 --> 00:19:13.634
Think the real challenge is just ignoring federal law.
00:19:13.634 --> 00:19:16.470
And while they're protesting against ice,
00:19:16.470 --> 00:19:18.606
They have the right to do that.
00:19:18.606 --> 00:19:19.707
But they're not doing it in a peaceful manner.
00:19:19.707 --> 00:19:21.909
They're putting the lives of the citizens
00:19:21.909 --> 00:19:23.677
Of the communities at risk,
00:19:23.677 --> 00:19:24.812
The lives of the law enforcement officers at risk.
00:19:24.812 --> 00:19:27.815
Well, there's nothing peaceful
00:19:27.815 --> 00:19:28.816
About those protests we're watching.
00:19:28.816 --> 00:19:30.818
They are pay to agitators, and they're very well coordinated.
00:19:30.818 --> 00:19:33.621
It's got to stop.
00:19:33.621 --> 00:19:35.389
Christopher s in rochester, new york, said
00:19:35.389 --> 00:19:38.259
Regarding those who are protesting
00:19:38.259 --> 00:19:39.793
Over the treatment of the illegal immigrants,
00:19:39.793 --> 00:19:42.196
Wasn't it jesus who said
00:19:42.196 --> 00:19:43.597
We should take care of the poor, the foreigner and widows?
00:19:43.597 --> 00:19:46.834
Jesus never said to protest
00:19:46.834 --> 00:19:48.302
For these groups, those groups of people.
00:19:48.302 --> 00:19:50.371
If those protesting genuinely care
00:19:50.371 --> 00:19:52.239
About those who are here illegally.
00:19:52.239 --> 00:19:54.008
Why not coordinate a government plan
00:19:54.008 --> 00:19:56.076
For each protester to adopt a person or family?
00:19:56.076 --> 00:19:59.480
Take them into their home to shelter, feed and clothe them
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:02.316
And assist them in acquiring legal citizenship
00:20:02.316 --> 00:20:05.486
That would be more helpful and lawful for everyone.
00:20:05.486 --> 00:20:09.089
Christopher, i think you're on to something.
00:20:09.089 --> 00:20:11.592
Good luck with selling that notion
00:20:11.592 --> 00:20:13.927
To those who are protesting.
00:20:13.927 --> 00:20:15.996
I'm not sure they share your rather high view of scripture
00:20:15.996 --> 00:20:19.366
And jesus instructions.
00:20:19.366 --> 00:20:21.535
Surely a in washington ask alan, do you suppose
00:20:22.436 --> 00:20:25.873
The paid protesters are paying income taxes?
00:20:25.873 --> 00:20:29.209
Well, i'm not sure.
00:20:29.677 --> 00:20:30.778
But i do think that thanks to president trump's
00:20:30.778 --> 00:20:32.913
No tax on tips, many of them are as good as it.
00:20:32.913 --> 00:20:36.216
Be grateful to say they're just being tipped to protest.
00:20:36.216 --> 00:20:39.353
Whatever the real truth is,
00:20:39.953 --> 00:20:41.255
I'm tired of them, but i hope they go away.
00:20:41.255 --> 00:20:43.724
Thank you for spending a few minutes of your day with us.
00:20:43.724 --> 00:20:46.327
God's moving in the earth, and because of that,
00:20:46.327 --> 00:20:48.529
There are more reasons for hope than despair, i promise.
00:20:48.529 --> 00:20:51.632
I'm alan jackson.
00:20:52.066 --> 00:20:53.167
You have a good evening.
00:20:53.167 --> 00:20:53.167
