Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Taxpayer Burden | Allen Jackson Now | October 15, 2025

Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
00:00:16.599 --> 00:00:18.634
I'm alan jackson.
00:00:18.634 --> 00:00:20.269
A red line has been drawn in washington.
00:00:20.269 --> 00:00:22.772
The congressional leaders of the democratic party
00:00:22.772 --> 00:00:24.974
Want to spend more than $1 trillion of your money
00:00:24.974 --> 00:00:28.444
By expanding health care coverage, including money
00:00:28.444 --> 00:00:31.547
For people who are here illegally.
00:00:31.547 --> 00:00:33.783
Well, president trump has said no.
00:00:33.783 --> 00:00:35.418
And so to have the republican members of congress,
00:00:35.418 --> 00:00:38.187
Not with the federal debt approaching $38 trillion
00:00:38.187 --> 00:00:41.724
And not with the american public
00:00:41.724 --> 00:00:43.226
Already up to their ears, and what they currently pay
00:00:43.226 --> 00:00:46.295
To keep their own families covered by health insurance.
00:00:46.295 --> 00:00:49.432
Well, joining us tonight,
00:00:49.432 --> 00:00:50.500
Republican congressman buddy carter from georgia.
00:00:50.500 --> 00:00:53.636
Welcome back sir.
00:00:53.636 --> 00:00:55.671
Well, thank you for having me.
00:00:55.671 --> 00:00:56.639
It's always a pleasure.
00:00:56.639 --> 00:00:58.407
Taxpayers have made it clear that they don't want to pay
00:00:58.407 --> 00:01:01.544
For any more handouts to people who came here illegally.
00:01:01.544 --> 00:01:04.680
They've done enough of
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:05.915
That already with hotel rooms, food and free transportation.
00:01:05.915 --> 00:01:09.218
So they're not at all interested in having their money
00:01:09.218 --> 00:01:11.621
Used to pay for their health care as well.
00:01:11.621 --> 00:01:14.690
Do you have any idea what the democrats are thinking
00:01:14.690 --> 00:01:16.959
When they put this on the table?
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:18.294
Well, first of all, let's be very clear.
00:01:19.162 --> 00:01:21.097
This is the schumer shutdown.
00:01:21.097 --> 00:01:22.632
This is a shutdown that was instigated
00:01:22.632 --> 00:01:24.634
By chuck schumer,
00:01:24.634 --> 00:01:25.835
Jon ossoff and the democrats with the intent, as you say,
00:01:25.835 --> 00:01:29.272
Of covering illegals for health care,
00:01:29.272 --> 00:01:32.341
Something that americans do not want their hard earned tax
00:01:32.341 --> 00:01:35.144
Money used for, something that that they voted against
00:01:35.144 --> 00:01:39.782
When they voted against the one
00:01:39.782 --> 00:01:41.217
Big beautiful bill, or what we're calling the the
00:01:41.217 --> 00:01:43.786
The family, tax cuts act, the working families tax cut act,
00:01:43.786 --> 00:01:49.492
That when they voted against that, they voted against
00:01:49.492 --> 00:01:52.595
Prohibiting illegals from being on medicaid.
00:01:52.595 --> 00:01:55.298
They voted against preventing georgians
00:01:55.298 --> 00:01:58.467
From getting a $5,000 increase in taxes.
00:01:58.467 --> 00:02:01.804
All of those things they want to reverse
00:02:01.804 --> 00:02:03.940
And they want to reverse them.
00:02:03.940 --> 00:02:05.374
As i say in the name of getting health care for illegals.
00:02:05.374 --> 00:02:10.413
Well,
00:02:10.646 --> 00:02:11.814
It seems to become clear that the whole idea of the wide
00:02:11.814 --> 00:02:13.816
Open biden
00:02:13.816 --> 00:02:14.684
Era border was to get more people
00:02:14.684 --> 00:02:16.652
To come in and vote for the democrats.
00:02:16.652 --> 00:02:19.021
Has there been any evidence that that plan is working?
00:02:19.021 --> 00:02:22.291
No evidence whatsoever.
00:02:22.792 --> 00:02:24.093
In fact, i would submit to you that just the opposite is true
00:02:24.093 --> 00:02:26.662
If you think about it.
00:02:26.662 --> 00:02:27.863
What they're trying to escape in, in central america is
00:02:27.863 --> 00:02:31.867
What the democrats are trying to create here in america.
00:02:31.867 --> 00:02:35.037
They don't want this socialism.
00:02:35.037 --> 00:02:37.006
They don't want to be dependent on the government.
00:02:37.006 --> 00:02:40.109
They want their freedom. they want their independence.
00:02:40.109 --> 00:02:42.478
And and yet the democrats think that they're going to
00:02:42.478 --> 00:02:46.549
Come over here and vote for them.
00:02:46.549 --> 00:02:48.217
And i think they're going to be sorely disappointed in that.
00:02:48.217 --> 00:02:51.721
Well, the white house is drawing the line
00:02:52.588 --> 00:02:54.223
On expanding government health care.
00:02:54.223 --> 00:02:56.125
And they've done the same thing
00:02:56.125 --> 00:02:57.360
With the increasing crime in our big cities.
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.962
Here's how tom homan put it.
00:02:59.962 --> 00:03:02.798
President trump brought the national guard
00:03:02.798 --> 00:03:04.467
In because what he did, he saved los angeles.
00:03:04.467 --> 00:03:07.003
And i just go out there
00:03:07.003 --> 00:03:08.037
And continue to risk public safety threats
00:03:08.037 --> 00:03:09.672
To make los angeles safer, which we have done.
00:03:09.672 --> 00:03:12.074
He sent a national guard to washington, d.c.
00:03:12.074 --> 00:03:13.876
Look at the amazing work they did in washington, d.c.
00:03:13.876 --> 00:03:16.612
Crime rate was reduced greatly.
00:03:16.612 --> 00:03:18.581
So it's your right formula.
00:03:18.581 --> 00:03:21.851
Can you help us with this as a public safety
00:03:21.851 --> 00:03:24.387
Historically been a bipartisan idea?
00:03:24.387 --> 00:03:27.923
Absolutely. and what has changed?
00:03:27.923 --> 00:03:29.725
I do not know.
00:03:29.725 --> 00:03:30.559
But the democrats are proving that
00:03:30.559 --> 00:03:32.428
Whenever there's a 28 year old,
00:03:32.428 --> 00:03:34.563
They're always on the side of the 20%.
00:03:34.563 --> 00:03:36.766
And it's unbelievable.
00:03:36.766 --> 00:03:38.367
And and, you know, president trump promised two things.
00:03:38.367 --> 00:03:42.905
It's other things,
00:03:43.339 --> 00:03:44.206
But two main things that he promised
00:03:44.206 --> 00:03:45.641
Was to make our country more prosperous and to make it safer.
00:03:45.641 --> 00:03:48.778
And i would submit to you
00:03:48.778 --> 00:03:49.945
In the first nine months of his second administration,
00:03:49.945 --> 00:03:52.048
He has delivered on both of those.
00:03:52.048 --> 00:03:53.883
He has made our country safer.
00:03:53.883 --> 00:03:55.651
He's he's secured our borders.
00:03:55.651 --> 00:03:57.486
No longer do we have people coming
00:03:57.486 --> 00:03:59.055
Across that border like we'd had before.
00:03:59.055 --> 00:04:01.524
He has secured our cities.
00:04:01.524 --> 00:04:02.925
He has made sure our cities are safer, thank goodness.
00:04:02.925 --> 00:04:05.594
Washington, d.c., where earlier
00:04:05.594 --> 00:04:07.396
This summer
00:04:07.396 --> 00:04:08.164
We had two interns at the israeli
00:04:08.164 --> 00:04:09.799
Embassy who were shot and killed.
00:04:09.799 --> 00:04:11.434
We had another intern from the from representing iran. s
00:04:11.434 --> 00:04:14.970
This is office in kansas who was shot in a random shooting.
00:04:14.970 --> 00:04:18.240
We had a staff member in the administration
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.177
Who was brutally attacked and mocked.
00:04:21.177 --> 00:04:23.979
All of that stopped now thanks to the work of president trump.
00:04:23.979 --> 00:04:27.583
And he's made our country more prosperous.
00:04:27.583 --> 00:04:29.518
He's bringing back domestic manufacturing.
00:04:29.518 --> 00:04:32.188
He has passed the working families tax act, which saves
00:04:32.188 --> 00:04:35.891
Georgians, on average, $5,000 in taxes.
00:04:35.891 --> 00:04:39.028
So he's improving the economy as well.
00:04:39.028 --> 00:04:40.996
He's delivering on his campaign promises.
00:04:40.996 --> 00:04:43.699
Well, still, on the subject of crime.
00:04:44.500 --> 00:04:46.335
I want to ask
00:04:46.335 --> 00:04:47.503
About the recent revelation that joe biden suppressed
00:04:47.503 --> 00:04:50.072
A cia report on hunter
00:04:50.072 --> 00:04:51.907
Biden's $1 million tie to ukraine's power company,
00:04:51.907 --> 00:04:55.978
Even while his father was the point person on ukraine.
00:04:55.978 --> 00:04:59.915
You know, according to a just released email, biden pressured
00:04:59.915 --> 00:05:02.585
The cia not to release their internal report on hunter
00:05:02.585 --> 00:05:05.788
To hide the evidence of biden's lucrative ukraine contract.
00:05:05.788 --> 00:05:09.625
With so many other things to deal with.
00:05:09.625 --> 00:05:11.660
It seems a shame that trump's team
00:05:11.660 --> 00:05:13.095
Has to spend time cleaning up biden's mess
00:05:13.095 --> 00:05:15.631
For the long term sake of the country.
00:05:15.631 --> 00:05:17.199
We've got to move past this somehow.
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.802
It really does.
00:05:19.802 --> 00:05:20.970
And it brings to, i think, an even even bigger subject.
00:05:20.970 --> 00:05:24.440
And that is about it, about presidents issuing pardons
00:05:24.440 --> 00:05:28.878
Because, as we know, the president
00:05:28.878 --> 00:05:30.846
Issued a pardon for his son for anything in the past.
00:05:30.846 --> 00:05:33.716
He's done anything in the future.
00:05:33.716 --> 00:05:35.117
He would do that. he would do.
00:05:35.117 --> 00:05:36.886
I had a bill that i introduced that said that,
00:05:36.886 --> 00:05:40.256
That any pardons have to be signed by hand.
00:05:40.256 --> 00:05:43.192
They can't be signed by an auto pen.
00:05:43.192 --> 00:05:45.294
So many, almost all of his, if not all of his pardon
00:05:45.294 --> 00:05:48.464
For signed by an auto pen.
00:05:48.464 --> 00:05:50.032
We don't know whether
00:05:50.032 --> 00:05:51.200
He approved those or not, whether he he was behind that.
00:05:51.200 --> 00:05:55.137
And i'm not sure he knows, to be quite honest with you.
00:05:55.137 --> 00:05:58.374
So this is you know, this is corruption that is worse.
00:05:58.374 --> 00:06:01.577
I mean, this is,
00:06:01.577 --> 00:06:02.945
I think the biden family was one of the most corrupt families
00:06:02.945 --> 00:06:06.749
That we've ever had in the white house.
00:06:06.749 --> 00:06:08.851
Well, you know, the biblical principle of forgiveness
00:06:09.919 --> 00:06:12.087
Is predicated upon a willingness to repent.
00:06:12.087 --> 00:06:15.324
And it seems to me
00:06:15.324 --> 00:06:16.292
If someone would just say they were sorry,
00:06:16.292 --> 00:06:17.927
They made poor decisions that he wasn't
00:06:17.927 --> 00:06:19.829
Fit to be president, it would provide a way
00:06:19.829 --> 00:06:22.631
For some healing that we could go forward.
00:06:22.631 --> 00:06:24.266
But i don't expect that much truth
00:06:24.266 --> 00:06:25.868
To come out of anybody on that side of the aisle right now.
00:06:25.868 --> 00:06:28.070
Do you?
00:06:28.070 --> 00:06:29.138
No, not at all.
00:06:29.138 --> 00:06:30.406
I don't think you're going to be hearing them say that at all.
00:06:30.406 --> 00:06:32.575
And that
00:06:32.575 --> 00:06:33.509
And as you point out, and rightfully so,
00:06:33.509 --> 00:06:35.211
I think that's really sad because
00:06:35.211 --> 00:06:37.413
We do need to get past this.
00:06:37.413 --> 00:06:38.848
And we
00:06:38.848 --> 00:06:40.049
And thank you for pointing out the fact that president trump,
00:06:40.049 --> 00:06:42.751
With everything he's doing right now, the president of a piece,
00:06:42.751 --> 00:06:46.822
You know, he doesn't need to be dealing
00:06:46.822 --> 00:06:48.390
With these kind of things, but he's having to
00:06:48.390 --> 00:06:50.459
Well, some democrats are claiming that they'll take back
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.829
Control of the house in the midterms next year.
00:06:53.829 --> 00:06:56.765
What could they possibly run on
00:06:56.765 --> 00:06:58.334
Other than their anti everything trump agenda?
00:06:58.334 --> 00:07:01.570
Well, and that is what they're running on.
00:07:01.570 --> 00:07:03.539
And right now
00:07:03.539 --> 00:07:04.707
I would submit to you
00:07:04.707 --> 00:07:05.641
That what's happening with the government
00:07:05.641 --> 00:07:06.942
Shutdown is nothing more than chuck schumer
00:07:06.942 --> 00:07:09.178
Trying to anti-trump more than than aoc.
00:07:09.178 --> 00:07:12.915
He knows he's going to get a challenge from aoc,
00:07:12.915 --> 00:07:15.518
And he's trying to prove
00:07:15.518 --> 00:07:16.385
That he's more anti-trump than she is.
00:07:16.385 --> 00:07:18.721
But that's what they're going to run against.
00:07:18.721 --> 00:07:20.189
They're going to run against the president.
00:07:20.189 --> 00:07:21.624
They're going to be as far against trump as they can.
00:07:21.624 --> 00:07:25.227
And it really is sad that you would think
00:07:25.227 --> 00:07:27.630
That our government would be run in such a way.
00:07:27.630 --> 00:07:30.866
And i would submit to you that this is the way
00:07:30.866 --> 00:07:32.568
The biden-harris administration did it is they said,
00:07:32.568 --> 00:07:34.803
Whatever donald trump did, we want to do just the opposite.
00:07:34.803 --> 00:07:37.606
And and that's what they did for four years.
00:07:37.606 --> 00:07:40.509
What's the tone in georgia?
00:07:40.509 --> 00:07:41.877
Are they ready to stand behind the trump
00:07:41.877 --> 00:07:43.479
And his agenda in the midterms?
00:07:43.479 --> 00:07:45.414
Absolutely.
00:07:45.414 --> 00:07:46.282
The president's extremely popular here.
00:07:46.282 --> 00:07:48.117
He won this state overwhelmingly.
00:07:48.117 --> 00:07:50.185
That's why we've got to have a change
00:07:50.185 --> 00:07:51.754
In the senate right now.
00:07:51.754 --> 00:07:53.055
Every statewide elected official in the state of georgia
00:07:53.055 --> 00:07:56.158
Is republican, with the exception of our two senators.
00:07:56.158 --> 00:07:58.994
They're both democrats.
00:07:58.994 --> 00:08:00.262
You've got a red state that's represented by two democrats.
00:08:00.262 --> 00:08:03.799
President trump won this state overwhelmingly.
00:08:03.799 --> 00:08:06.101
He deserves someone from the state of georgia
00:08:06.101 --> 00:08:08.237
Who's going to support him and his america first policies.
00:08:08.237 --> 00:08:11.507
The state of georgia deserve someone in the senate who's
00:08:11.507 --> 00:08:15.144
Going to support president trump
00:08:15.144 --> 00:08:16.679
And his america first policies?
00:08:16.679 --> 00:08:18.814
Well, there's a lot more to discuss.
00:08:19.582 --> 00:08:20.883
Congressman carter, can you stay with us for another segment?
00:08:20.883 --> 00:08:23.719
Yes, sir.
00:08:23.719 --> 00:08:24.320
Thank you.
00:08:24.320 --> 00:08:25.154
We'll be right back.
00:08:25.154 --> 00:08:32.992
We'll be right back.
00:08:32.992 --> 00:08:37.064
We're back now with georgia republican buddy carter.
00:08:38.131 --> 00:08:41.635
Another big headline from washington last week, news
00:08:41.635 --> 00:08:44.571
That biden's fbi and special counsel, jack smith,
00:08:44.571 --> 00:08:47.908
In particular, spied on republicans in congress.
00:08:47.908 --> 00:08:51.912
Senator grassley called it worse than watergate,
00:08:51.912 --> 00:08:54.815
But democrat chris coons would only say that he wants
00:08:54.815 --> 00:08:57.851
To see more information before he has any comment.
00:08:57.851 --> 00:09:01.088
Is there any bottom to the deep state?
00:09:01.088 --> 00:09:04.358
I don't think so. evidently not.
00:09:04.358 --> 00:09:06.059
Let me tell you, this deserves a full investigation.
00:09:06.059 --> 00:09:09.296
If jack smith indeed did this and it appears he did,
00:09:09.296 --> 00:09:14.267
And with him going and getting the phone records from senators,
00:09:14.267 --> 00:09:18.438
I mean, if he can do that
00:09:18.438 --> 00:09:19.673
To a conservative senator, he can do it to any conservative
00:09:19.673 --> 00:09:22.676
And even worse, he can do it to any citizen.
00:09:22.676 --> 00:09:25.579
Anyone should be concerned about this and what they, after,
00:09:25.579 --> 00:09:28.915
What they did to president trump,
00:09:28.915 --> 00:09:30.484
Go into his home in mar-a-lago
00:09:30.484 --> 00:09:32.519
And going through everything his his personal belongings.
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.856
This is something that's got to be investigated.
00:09:35.856 --> 00:09:38.125
And people need to be held accountable for it.
00:09:38.125 --> 00:09:41.228
Well, attorney general pam bondi says they've identified
00:09:42.362 --> 00:09:45.198
92 republicans and gop friendly groups that the fbi targeted.
00:09:45.198 --> 00:09:49.770
Listen to how she explained what's been found out
00:09:49.770 --> 00:09:53.073
As to ending the weaponization of justice.
00:09:53.073 --> 00:09:55.275
We learned that former fbi
00:09:55.275 --> 00:09:57.177
Secretly investigated you and your colleagues. why?
00:09:57.177 --> 00:10:01.348
They wanted to take president trump off the playing field.
00:10:01.348 --> 00:10:04.351
They were playing politics with law enforcement powers
00:10:04.351 --> 00:10:07.054
And will go down as a historic betrayal of public trust.
00:10:07.054 --> 00:10:11.358
This is the kind of conduct that shatters
00:10:12.259 --> 00:10:14.761
The american people's faith in our law enforcement system.
00:10:14.761 --> 00:10:18.632
We will work to earn that back every single day.
00:10:18.632 --> 00:10:22.936
We are returning to our core mission of fighting real crime.
00:10:22.936 --> 00:10:27.207
In your opinion, is this worse than watergate?
00:10:28.175 --> 00:10:31.344
Absolutely. is worse than watergate.
00:10:31.344 --> 00:10:33.180
I mean, this is a case of of of the fbi trying to
00:10:33.180 --> 00:10:37.217
To get it as pam bondi accurately described
00:10:37.217 --> 00:10:40.687
It, trying to get rid of a president
00:10:40.687 --> 00:10:42.556
And trying to move him out of the way.
00:10:42.556 --> 00:10:44.558
And she's absolutely right.
00:10:44.558 --> 00:10:46.259
This is what it represents, is is
00:10:46.259 --> 00:10:49.329
A monumental distrust of the government.
00:10:49.329 --> 00:10:52.799
If people see this, that the government can do this
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:55.736
To a former president,
00:10:55.736 --> 00:10:57.537
Then they think they can do it to anyone.
00:10:57.537 --> 00:10:59.906
And why wouldn't they think that?
00:10:59.906 --> 00:11:01.708
And it does lead to a mistrust of the government.
00:11:01.708 --> 00:11:04.945
And it is just a shame.
00:11:04.945 --> 00:11:07.614
And that's why these people have to be killed accountable.
00:11:07.614 --> 00:11:10.917
We cannot tolerate this
00:11:10.917 --> 00:11:12.619
If we just weakness under the rug and
00:11:12.619 --> 00:11:14.821
And just say, oh, it's over with, so forget about it.
00:11:14.821 --> 00:11:17.624
No, we can't do that.
00:11:17.624 --> 00:11:18.892
We've got to make we got to hold people accountable.
00:11:18.892 --> 00:11:22.829
Well, the only way to restore trust,
00:11:23.597 --> 00:11:25.098
I think your point is very important
00:11:25.098 --> 00:11:27.300
Is we have to do the investigations.
00:11:27.300 --> 00:11:29.336
We have to expose
00:11:29.336 --> 00:11:30.370
Fauci and his lies so we can trust the cdc again.
00:11:30.370 --> 00:11:33.373
We have to expose the shenanigans from
00:11:33.373 --> 00:11:36.843
From comey to all the things that have been happening
00:11:36.843 --> 00:11:39.579
So we can restore trust in our government.
00:11:39.579 --> 00:11:41.581
That's the only way we can go forward, isn't it?
00:11:41.581 --> 00:11:44.251
It is the only way we can go forward.
00:11:44.251 --> 00:11:45.685
If i can insert this, i recently had a resolution
00:11:45.685 --> 00:11:48.722
That would have,
00:11:48.722 --> 00:11:49.823
Removed ilhan omar from her, from her committees.
00:11:49.823 --> 00:11:53.660
Nancy mace had a bill that would send to her
00:11:53.660 --> 00:11:56.062
And remove her from our committees.
00:11:56.062 --> 00:11:57.497
Man would have only removed her from minis
00:11:57.497 --> 00:11:59.633
Because of antisemitic talk.
00:11:59.633 --> 00:12:04.638
Minds
00:12:04.871 --> 00:12:05.672
That she used in a rally and and,
00:12:05.672 --> 00:12:08.475
You know, i was interviewed
00:12:08.475 --> 00:12:09.676
By the detroit free press and they were asking me, well,
00:12:09.676 --> 00:12:11.878
This is the first time she's done.
00:12:11.878 --> 00:12:13.446
Don't you think you're just wasting your time?
00:12:13.446 --> 00:12:15.415
Listen, if we can become complacent and just accept it,
00:12:15.415 --> 00:12:18.919
Then we're complicit in it and accepting it.
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.121
We cannot let that happen.
00:12:21.121 --> 00:12:23.256
Absolutely.
00:12:23.256 --> 00:12:24.424
Senator lindsey graham says he's going to take
00:12:24.424 --> 00:12:26.560
Former special counsel jack smith
00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:28.161
To court than anyone else who's involved and sue them.
00:12:28.161 --> 00:12:32.199
What do you think congress will do?
00:12:32.199 --> 00:12:34.367
I think we'll follow suit.
00:12:34.367 --> 00:12:35.669
I know that jim jordan, if he gets a hold of it,
00:12:35.669 --> 00:12:37.871
He's a bulldog, as we all know, and he'll follow suit.
00:12:37.871 --> 00:12:40.941
And i applaud lindsey graham for what he's do.
00:12:40.941 --> 00:12:43.510
And he's absolutely right.
00:12:43.510 --> 00:12:45.145
Again,
00:12:45.145 --> 00:12:46.079
If we just accept this is normal behavior
00:12:46.079 --> 00:12:48.481
And oh, that's just ilhan being ilhan.
00:12:48.481 --> 00:12:50.684
That's just you know jack smith he's no longer there
00:12:50.684 --> 00:12:53.820
James comey he's no longer there.
00:12:53.820 --> 00:12:55.622
If we just take that kind of attitude,
00:12:55.622 --> 00:12:57.924
Then we're complicit in letting it happen.
00:12:57.924 --> 00:13:00.260
I've got one more question before we go.
00:13:01.094 --> 00:13:03.063
You've managed to accomplish something
00:13:03.063 --> 00:13:04.631
That's more rare than a four leaf clover,
00:13:04.631 --> 00:13:07.100
A bipartisan plan to help our senior citizens
00:13:07.100 --> 00:13:09.669
With their medicare and the telehealth program.
00:13:09.669 --> 00:13:12.405
You did it with democrat debbie dingell of michigan.
00:13:12.405 --> 00:13:16.176
Can you tell us how you got both sides of the aisle
00:13:16.176 --> 00:13:18.511
To do something for the good of the people?
00:13:18.511 --> 00:13:21.414
Well, you know, when it comes to health
00:13:21.414 --> 00:13:23.650
Care, basically, we all want the same thing.
00:13:23.650 --> 00:13:26.253
We want accessible, affordable, quality health care.
00:13:26.253 --> 00:13:29.589
And accessibility
00:13:29.589 --> 00:13:30.690
Is extremely important, particularly in our rural areas.
00:13:30.690 --> 00:13:33.693
And telehealth plays such an important role in that.
00:13:33.693 --> 00:13:36.429
I thank debbie for working with me on that.
00:13:36.429 --> 00:13:38.365
I think
00:13:38.365 --> 00:13:39.299
The democrats in the energy and commerce
00:13:39.299 --> 00:13:40.700
Committee for working with me on that,
00:13:40.700 --> 00:13:42.569
Because this makes health care more accessible in america,
00:13:42.569 --> 00:13:46.506
And that's what we need.
00:13:46.506 --> 00:13:47.874
Well, do you think that's a precursor?
00:13:48.675 --> 00:13:50.143
Do you think congress is going to work together on a budget
00:13:50.143 --> 00:13:52.412
Because we have that hope for the future?
00:13:52.412 --> 00:13:54.948
I certainly hope so.
00:13:54.948 --> 00:13:56.182
But and, you know, we need to get the government open again.
00:13:56.182 --> 00:13:58.919
We're coming up
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:00.153
On some important dates here that our troops won't get paid,
00:14:00.153 --> 00:14:02.856
Our government workers won't get paid.
00:14:02.856 --> 00:14:04.824
That puts a lot of strain on them.
00:14:04.824 --> 00:14:06.393
Unnecessary strain.
00:14:06.393 --> 00:14:07.961
And you know, they want to negotiate the aca subsidies.
00:14:07.961 --> 00:14:11.498
We can negotiate, but open up and open up the government.
00:14:11.498 --> 00:14:15.835
Let's get the government open and then we'll negotiate.
00:14:15.835 --> 00:14:19.205
Well, congressman carter,
00:14:19.773 --> 00:14:20.807
Thank you for coming on our show again.
00:14:20.807 --> 00:14:22.375
It's a pleasure to get your inside view of things.
00:14:22.375 --> 00:14:25.378
Thank you very much.
00:14:25.378 --> 00:14:26.346
Always a pleasure being with you.
00:14:26.346 --> 00:14:28.181
Well, in a moment, signs of hope.
00:14:28.181 --> 00:14:30.116
And later, your emails and comments on your view of the
00:14:30.116 --> 00:14:33.119
World. i'll be right back.
00:14:33.119 --> 00:14:41.995
World. i'll be right back.
00:14:41.995 --> 00:14:45.639
You know, the violence in our cities
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.208
Has been a persistent issue in recent years.
00:14:48.208 --> 00:14:50.978
We have major american cities, sanctuary cities
00:14:50.978 --> 00:14:54.247
That refuse to enforce federal laws
00:14:54.247 --> 00:14:57.017
While they simultaneously demand federal funds.
00:14:57.017 --> 00:15:00.854
And then if we add to that, the illegal immigration,
00:15:00.854 --> 00:15:02.856
The multiplied millions of people
00:15:02.856 --> 00:15:04.591
That have entered our country.
00:15:04.591 --> 00:15:06.393
It's a very disconcerting set of trends.
00:15:06.393 --> 00:15:09.463
You know, when you light the fuze on anarchy,
00:15:09.463 --> 00:15:11.798
It's like starting a wildfire.
00:15:11.798 --> 00:15:13.200
You can't predict what will happen.
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:15.202
We have to come back to ourselves.
00:15:15.202 --> 00:15:17.004
We can be a compassionate nation.
00:15:17.004 --> 00:15:19.272
We welcome more than a million illegal immigrants every year.
00:15:19.272 --> 00:15:22.376
But if we don't maintain our borders,
00:15:22.376 --> 00:15:24.244
We're going to lose
00:15:24.244 --> 00:15:25.245
Our sovereignty as a nation and as a people.
00:15:25.245 --> 00:15:27.848
The changes that these trends have already made in our country
00:15:27.848 --> 00:15:30.684
Are staggering.
00:15:30.684 --> 00:15:32.019
Our health care system has fundamentally changed.
00:15:32.019 --> 00:15:35.322
Our emergency rooms will treat whoever comes in.
00:15:35.322 --> 00:15:37.657
They're required to,
00:15:37.657 --> 00:15:38.825
Whether they have status, standing or an ability to pay.
00:15:38.825 --> 00:15:41.795
It's changed the delivery system of health care for all of us.
00:15:41.795 --> 00:15:45.232
Emergency rooms don't provide the same function
00:15:45.232 --> 00:15:47.267
They did a decade ago.
00:15:47.267 --> 00:15:49.002
And that's changed primarily
00:15:49.002 --> 00:15:50.637
To accommodate the millions, the tens of millions of people
00:15:50.637 --> 00:15:53.874
Who are here without citizenship.
00:15:53.874 --> 00:15:56.209
Consider that fact.
00:15:56.209 --> 00:15:57.377
When you see congressional leaders
00:15:57.377 --> 00:15:58.912
Refusing to dialog with each other
00:15:58.912 --> 00:16:01.248
Because they want to spend more than $1 trillion of your money
00:16:01.248 --> 00:16:04.818
To expand health care coverage for illegal immigrants.
00:16:04.818 --> 00:16:08.622
It's a very significant problem.
00:16:09.256 --> 00:16:11.892
And then we just try to wrap it in compassion.
00:16:11.892 --> 00:16:14.694
And that misses the point of what's happening.
00:16:14.694 --> 00:16:17.531
These expressions of violence that governors and mayors
00:16:17.531 --> 00:16:20.033
Insist on protecting put all of us at peril.
00:16:20.033 --> 00:16:23.103
And as god's people, i think we need to pray that we
00:16:23.103 --> 00:16:25.739
As a nation will be willing to submit to the rule of law.
00:16:25.739 --> 00:16:29.476
We can change the laws if we don't like them.
00:16:29.476 --> 00:16:31.445
If we want to welcome 5 million immigrants a year,
00:16:31.445 --> 00:16:33.613
We can change our laws.
00:16:33.613 --> 00:16:35.515
But we can't live in a complete state of defiance of the law.
00:16:35.515 --> 00:16:39.519
And imagine that that's going to bring good things to us
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:42.689
As christ followers.
00:16:42.689 --> 00:16:44.057
We shouldn't be filled with belligerence,
00:16:44.057 --> 00:16:45.625
Or we certainly shouldn't be violent.
00:16:45.625 --> 00:16:47.627
But we have to be aware
00:16:47.627 --> 00:16:49.663
If we stay silent and we stay out of the discussion,
00:16:49.663 --> 00:16:52.699
We abandon the places we live to destructive influences.
00:16:52.699 --> 00:16:56.870
And that's not good.
00:16:56.870 --> 00:16:58.472
If we will reengage with the biblical worldview
00:16:58.472 --> 00:17:01.074
And use our voices, it will restore hope for all of us.
00:17:01.074 --> 00:17:05.612
Well, i'll be back with your emails in just a moment.
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:09.616
Stay with us.
00:17:09.616 --> 00:17:17.995
Stay with us.
00:17:17.995 --> 00:17:23.027
Thank you
00:17:23.328 --> 00:17:24.362
For spending a few minutes of your day with us.
00:17:24.362 --> 00:17:25.563
Just a reminder, you could always go to aj
00:17:25.563 --> 00:17:27.632
Now, dot com.
00:17:27.632 --> 00:17:28.967
You can sign up for the weekly brief and keep up to date
00:17:28.967 --> 00:17:31.302
With what's happening with our programing.
00:17:31.302 --> 00:17:33.738
And thank you for your emails.
00:17:33.738 --> 00:17:34.939
They are always a highlight.
00:17:34.939 --> 00:17:36.975
George s wrote in your broadcast program,
00:17:36.975 --> 00:17:40.245
Which so adeptly dissects current events,
00:17:40.245 --> 00:17:43.348
Has become an indispensable resource for me.
00:17:43.348 --> 00:17:46.017
You possess a unique ability to connect global happenings
00:17:46.017 --> 00:17:48.953
With enduring scriptural principles.
00:17:48.953 --> 00:17:51.356
Helping your audience, myself included,
00:17:51.356 --> 00:17:53.224
Understand the spiritual
00:17:53.224 --> 00:17:54.425
And societal ramifications of what we observe daily.
00:17:54.425 --> 00:17:57.896
This perspective is not only profoundly enlightening,
00:17:57.896 --> 00:18:00.131
But also deeply comforting, continually reinforcing my faith
00:18:00.131 --> 00:18:03.868
And equipping me to navigate the world
00:18:03.868 --> 00:18:05.503
With greater discernment and hope.
00:18:05.503 --> 00:18:07.505
Thank you for your tireless efforts in this vital work.
00:18:07.505 --> 00:18:10.175
Well, george, i'm quite confident
00:18:10.175 --> 00:18:11.876
Your email is more eloquent than i am,
00:18:11.876 --> 00:18:14.312
But i agree with the premise that god's people engaged
00:18:14.312 --> 00:18:17.248
In cultural discussion is essential
00:18:17.248 --> 00:18:19.384
And brings the best future for all of us.
00:18:19.384 --> 00:18:21.519
Thank you for being a part of that.
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.688
Judy b from palmdale, she said,
00:18:24.322 --> 00:18:26.357
Thank you for the interview with va secretary doug collins.
00:18:26.357 --> 00:18:29.727
We recently received an increase in my husband's va disability.
00:18:29.727 --> 00:18:33.464
You're the best pastor.
00:18:33.464 --> 00:18:34.566
God bless you bunches.
00:18:34.566 --> 00:18:36.634
Well, you're most welcome.
00:18:36.634 --> 00:18:37.869
I thought the interview with
00:18:37.869 --> 00:18:40.205
Doug collins was very helpful.
00:18:40.205 --> 00:18:42.407
You know, as a little monitor
00:18:42.407 --> 00:18:43.541
For all of us, congress is asking these day.
00:18:43.541 --> 00:18:45.476
The senate is asking for more money for health care.
00:18:45.476 --> 00:18:49.714
Until our veterans have the best health care in our nation.
00:18:49.714 --> 00:18:53.284
I don't believe the government
00:18:53.284 --> 00:18:54.385
Should be involved in anybody else's health care.
00:18:54.385 --> 00:18:56.554
Let him keep their promise to our veterans,
00:18:56.554 --> 00:18:58.723
And then we can talk about their
00:18:58.723 --> 00:18:59.958
Engagement and health care beyond that.
00:18:59.958 --> 00:19:01.593
Until then. i'm not interested.
00:19:01.593 --> 00:19:04.529
Jared t from florida commented.
00:19:04.529 --> 00:19:07.498
I want to talk to you about how words are powerful,
00:19:07.498 --> 00:19:10.568
That god hears everything we say.
00:19:10.568 --> 00:19:13.071
Charlie kirk was asked in an interview for the one thing
00:19:13.071 --> 00:19:16.174
He wanted to be remembered for.
00:19:16.174 --> 00:19:17.942
You could tell
00:19:17.942 --> 00:19:19.010
It wasn't on his radar. it was an out of the blue
00:19:19.010 --> 00:19:20.111
Question, by the way, he responded.
00:19:20.111 --> 00:19:22.447
He said, if i die, then i want to be remembered
00:19:22.447 --> 00:19:24.916
For courage in my faith.
00:19:24.916 --> 00:19:26.951
Well, god fulfilled it for him.
00:19:26.951 --> 00:19:28.486
Seems like nobody caught that.
00:19:28.486 --> 00:19:30.355
Thanks.
00:19:30.355 --> 00:19:31.489
Well, jared, thank you for the reminder.
00:19:31.489 --> 00:19:33.725
Charlie was a strong voice for faith.
00:19:33.725 --> 00:19:36.527
And now it's our turn to take that baton
00:19:36.527 --> 00:19:38.696
And be a voice in our own spheres of influence.
00:19:38.696 --> 00:19:40.832
If we'll do that, it'll lead us to good outcomes.
00:19:40.832 --> 00:19:44.035
And finally, a viewer on youtube.
00:19:44.035 --> 00:19:45.603
The episode with alex marlow said,
00:19:45.603 --> 00:19:47.372
Thank you, pastor alan jackson.
00:19:47.372 --> 00:19:48.840
You're always putting the truth out
00:19:48.840 --> 00:19:50.942
And speaking about the difficult subjects.
00:19:50.942 --> 00:19:53.011
God bless you, your family and staff.
00:19:53.011 --> 00:19:56.281
Well, i will join you inviting god's blessings on my family
00:19:56.281 --> 00:19:59.517
And staff. they work really hard.
00:19:59.517 --> 00:20:02.053
I may sit in front of the lights,
00:20:02.053 --> 00:20:03.354
But there's a lot of smart people that make this possible.
00:20:03.354 --> 00:20:06.124
And we're delighted to spend a few minutes with you each day.
00:20:06.124 --> 00:20:08.593
God is moving in the earth.
00:20:08.593 --> 00:20:10.295
I want to be a part of that.
00:20:10.295 --> 00:20:11.496
And i believe you do too.
00:20:11.496 --> 00:20:13.498
I'm alan jackson, and i pray you have a wonderful evening.
00:20:13.498 --> 00:20:13.498
