Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Trump's Border Security and Economy | Allen Jackson Now | April 23, 2025

Well.
00:00:05.163 --> 00:00:05.597
Good evening.
00:00:05.597 --> 00:00:06.598
I'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
00:00:06.598 --> 00:00:08.500
Spring
00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:09.768
Always brings a sense of hope and new life here in tennessee.
00:00:09.768 --> 00:00:12.938
Winters, brown and the skies are pretty much gray.
00:00:12.938 --> 00:00:15.807
But when spring's comes,
00:00:15.807 --> 00:00:17.375
It's like the world burst into full color.
00:00:17.375 --> 00:00:20.112
That's what it feels like as we move from the biden years
00:00:20.112 --> 00:00:23.115
To the very active pace of president trump.
00:00:23.115 --> 00:00:25.884
The american people weren't voting for incremental change.
00:00:25.884 --> 00:00:28.753
They wanted big change, and they're getting it.
00:00:28.753 --> 00:00:31.189
The sun is out and spring has come,
00:00:31.189 --> 00:00:33.425
Bringing hope to a majority of the country.
00:00:33.425 --> 00:00:36.661
Well, sitting in the sun for a change and joining us
00:00:36.661 --> 00:00:39.264
From florida, former senator and ambassador scott brown.
00:00:39.264 --> 00:00:42.701
Welcome back scott.
00:00:42.701 --> 00:00:44.536
It's great to be on allen.
00:00:44.536 --> 00:00:45.937
Good to see you.
00:00:45.937 --> 00:00:46.905
And hello to all your viewers and listeners.
00:00:46.905 --> 00:00:50.075
There's a lot to keep up with every week.
00:00:50.942 --> 00:00:53.245
And predictably large parts of the legacy media still seem
00:00:53.245 --> 00:00:56.648
Caught up in trying to drive traffic by knocking every move
00:00:56.648 --> 00:01:00.585
That president trump makes.
00:01:00.585 --> 00:01:02.387
But i'd like to start with your thoughts
00:01:02.387 --> 00:01:04.122
On what's been accomplished already,
00:01:04.122 --> 00:01:06.391
Maybe beginning with the border traffic
00:01:06.391 --> 00:01:08.226
Across the north, where you're from, and south,
00:01:08.226 --> 00:01:10.662
It's down to the lowest level in decades.
00:01:10.662 --> 00:01:13.331
There's a long way to go yet.
00:01:13.331 --> 00:01:15.167
Tell us how you see it.
00:01:15.167 --> 00:01:17.202
Well, i told you when we were on, what, 6 or 7 months ago
00:01:17.202 --> 00:01:20.472
That you didn't need a bill.
00:01:20.472 --> 00:01:22.174
You just need a leader.
00:01:22.174 --> 00:01:23.141
And as evidenced by what's happening,
00:01:23.141 --> 00:01:25.844
This is not a new bill.
00:01:25.844 --> 00:01:27.012
But the president's
00:01:27.012 --> 00:01:28.380
Doing exactly what he said he was going to do.
00:01:28.380 --> 00:01:30.749
He's put down the ability to get everyone away.
00:01:30.749 --> 00:01:35.020
I let the border patrol folks
00:01:35.020 --> 00:01:36.721
Do their jobs, bring in the military
00:01:36.721 --> 00:01:38.590
When needed to secure the border.
00:01:38.590 --> 00:01:40.559
And that's, that's where he said he was going to do.
00:01:40.559 --> 00:01:42.994
You do need a bill. so, you know, i already said that.
00:01:42.994 --> 00:01:45.497
And here we are in no bill. and the board has shut down.
00:01:45.497 --> 00:01:48.567
Well, some judges and a lot of democrats are doing
00:01:49.568 --> 00:01:52.204
Everything they can to try to stop the deportations,
00:01:52.204 --> 00:01:55.240
Even when there are known gang members being arrested.
00:01:55.240 --> 00:01:57.943
Take the case of the maryland
00:01:57.943 --> 00:01:59.211
Man who was sent to prison in el salvador.
00:01:59.211 --> 00:02:01.813
His record shows prior to arrest, ignoring court
00:02:01.813 --> 00:02:04.616
Appearances, corrections,
00:02:04.616 --> 00:02:06.785
Connections to ms13, even beating his wife.
00:02:06.785 --> 00:02:10.822
And even when asked about how he treated her,
00:02:10.822 --> 00:02:12.524
His wife refused to comment.
00:02:12.524 --> 00:02:14.693
Listen to this exchange on abc.
00:02:14.693 --> 00:02:17.095
Now, i know
00:02:17.095 --> 00:02:18.230
This is a sensitive question, but i have to ask it.
00:02:18.230 --> 00:02:20.065
You did take out
00:02:20.065 --> 00:02:21.399
A temporary order of protection against your husband in 2021.
00:02:21.399 --> 00:02:24.736
Were you in fear of your husband?
00:02:24.736 --> 00:02:31.977
Husband is alive.
00:02:32.410 --> 00:02:34.346
That's all i can say.
00:02:34.346 --> 00:02:38.149
Okay.
00:02:38.383 --> 00:02:39.584
And, you know, i'm not going to push on that. apparently.
00:02:39.584 --> 00:02:41.653
You know, maryland senator
00:02:42.220 --> 00:02:43.388
Chris van hollen used taxpayers money to go visit abrego.
00:02:43.388 --> 00:02:47.259
Garcia and the others are trying to do so as well.
00:02:47.259 --> 00:02:50.595
Have you ever seen politicians working so hard for a photo op
00:02:50.595 --> 00:02:54.566
Showing them defending criminals and gang members?
00:02:54.566 --> 00:02:58.036
Well, you said a maryland man.
00:02:58.036 --> 00:02:59.604
Listen, he's a man that's in maryland.
00:02:59.604 --> 00:03:01.339
But what people are forgetting,
00:03:01.339 --> 00:03:02.974
He's a person that's here illegally.
00:03:02.974 --> 00:03:05.143
He's an illegal alien here.
00:03:05.143 --> 00:03:07.712
Inappropriately, who just happens to live in maryland.
00:03:07.712 --> 00:03:11.349
The fact that he's been here that long and has a wife
00:03:11.349 --> 00:03:14.319
And kids, certainly.
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:15.453
I certainly respect that.
00:03:15.453 --> 00:03:16.988
But bottom line is he was given a deportation order.
00:03:16.988 --> 00:03:20.158
He had two hearings.
00:03:20.158 --> 00:03:21.493
And then he said, if i go back to,
00:03:21.493 --> 00:03:24.195
Obviously el salvador, you know, a gang
00:03:24.195 --> 00:03:27.332
Which is no longer in existence will kill me.
00:03:27.332 --> 00:03:30.101
Well, there's been a change of circumstances.
00:03:30.101 --> 00:03:32.470
Obviously, we have new legislation
00:03:32.470 --> 00:03:34.172
That allows us to get them out.
00:03:34.172 --> 00:03:35.740
And more importantly, that gang, according to the
00:03:35.740 --> 00:03:37.375
El salvadorian president, is not there anymore.
00:03:37.375 --> 00:03:39.477
So that threat is not there.
00:03:39.477 --> 00:03:41.079
So he's got a whistle, he's got a deportation order, period.
00:03:41.079 --> 00:03:44.949
He's not coming back. there was due process.
00:03:44.949 --> 00:03:47.819
He's gone.
00:03:47.819 --> 00:03:48.853
And he respectfully, i think it is just a photo op.
00:03:48.853 --> 00:03:52.190
And he's not a maryland man.
00:03:52.190 --> 00:03:53.658
He is a illegal alien that's here who has connections to ms.
00:03:53.658 --> 00:03:56.895
13, is bound by two separate bodies.
00:03:56.895 --> 00:03:59.531
He's obviously a alleged wife abuser,
00:03:59.531 --> 00:04:02.434
As evidenced by the restraining orders that have been filed.
00:04:02.434 --> 00:04:05.570
And when?
00:04:05.570 --> 00:04:06.771
When michael asked him, hey, you know, did he abuse you?
00:04:06.771 --> 00:04:09.941
She's scared to death.
00:04:09.941 --> 00:04:11.343
I'm sure,
00:04:11.343 --> 00:04:12.610
Because, you know, i live that that's that was my life.
00:04:12.610 --> 00:04:15.513
And she in some way, shape or form that he or
00:04:15.513 --> 00:04:19.718
His friends are watching, you know, she's in danger.
00:04:19.718 --> 00:04:21.886
So, listen, he's he's not coming back,
00:04:21.886 --> 00:04:24.923
And he shouldn't come back.
00:04:24.923 --> 00:04:26.057
Well, closer to your regular home base, senator.
00:04:26.991 --> 00:04:29.394
We also have the mayor of boston who thinks she knows better
00:04:29.394 --> 00:04:33.198
And wants to house everyone.
00:04:33.198 --> 00:04:35.033
Mayor wu says her policies are designed to protect
00:04:35.033 --> 00:04:37.635
All boston residents
00:04:37.635 --> 00:04:39.704
And make good on the city's commitment
00:04:39.704 --> 00:04:41.172
To being a welcoming place for immigrants.
00:04:41.172 --> 00:04:43.975
Well, i'm not a politician, but it looks like
00:04:43.975 --> 00:04:45.677
It could be part of her get out the vote
00:04:45.677 --> 00:04:47.679
For her fall reelection bid in a very liberal city.
00:04:47.679 --> 00:04:51.282
Am i reading that right?
00:04:51.282 --> 00:04:53.151
Yeah, well, she's going to have some challenges.
00:04:53.151 --> 00:04:54.619
I mean, they've spent billions of dollars
00:04:54.619 --> 00:04:56.354
Housing people that are here illegally.
00:04:56.354 --> 00:04:58.256
I remember and reflect back.
00:04:58.256 --> 00:04:59.691
And during black history month, they actually took
00:04:59.691 --> 00:05:03.027
Years to center.
00:05:03.027 --> 00:05:03.995
That was there for the young minority youth.
00:05:03.995 --> 00:05:06.264
And they put illegals in there,
00:05:06.264 --> 00:05:08.066
Taking away and putting these kids
00:05:08.066 --> 00:05:09.501
On the streets
00:05:09.501 --> 00:05:10.568
When they need that sanctuary more than anybody.
00:05:10.568 --> 00:05:13.171
I thought that was exceedingly hypocritical.
00:05:13.171 --> 00:05:15.373
And she was wrong.
00:05:15.373 --> 00:05:16.474
She was very cavalier about, you know, all you know,
00:05:16.474 --> 00:05:19.244
They're all welcome. no they're not.
00:05:19.244 --> 00:05:20.512
You go to the average citizen,
00:05:20.512 --> 00:05:22.647
Citizens house who's been affected by these,
00:05:22.647 --> 00:05:25.016
People that are here illegally, these criminal elements.
00:05:25.016 --> 00:05:27.752
And they're very thankful that they're getting out
00:05:27.752 --> 00:05:29.754
That ice is there, notwithstanding
00:05:29.754 --> 00:05:32.023
The sanctuary status of massachusetts in certain cities
00:05:32.023 --> 00:05:35.560
And massachusetts.
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.529
It's just wrong.
00:05:37.529 --> 00:05:38.596
Yeah, i think she's completely upside down on that.
00:05:38.596 --> 00:05:40.899
Well, let's turn to the economy for a moment.
00:05:41.833 --> 00:05:43.635
President trump has made a lot of moves
00:05:43.635 --> 00:05:45.603
To bring the economy back to life,
00:05:45.603 --> 00:05:47.605
But he's going to need the house
00:05:47.605 --> 00:05:48.606
And the senate to get his budget done
00:05:48.606 --> 00:05:50.275
And to keep the lower tax rates in place.
00:05:50.275 --> 00:05:52.544
Does he have enough negotiating power
00:05:52.544 --> 00:05:54.212
To get what he wants done?
00:05:54.212 --> 00:05:55.713
Even with small margins on both sides of congress?
00:05:55.713 --> 00:05:58.783
Well, a larger margin now in the house and a fairly
00:05:58.783 --> 00:06:01.853
Large margin in the senate.
00:06:01.853 --> 00:06:03.221
I mean, they should stick together.
00:06:03.221 --> 00:06:04.456
Democrats would do it in a second
00:06:04.456 --> 00:06:06.424
And you'll have a maybe a whole lot or two.
00:06:06.424 --> 00:06:08.460
But listen, he's he's sure the people want these things.
00:06:08.460 --> 00:06:12.063
The tax extenders are very important for the economy
00:06:12.063 --> 00:06:15.266
And the things that he's doing.
00:06:15.266 --> 00:06:16.901
For example, on the tariffs, i was in new zealand
00:06:16.901 --> 00:06:19.270
As the ambassador for almost four years.
00:06:19.270 --> 00:06:21.206
I saw firsthand
00:06:21.206 --> 00:06:22.407
That the amount of tariffs that new zealand
00:06:22.407 --> 00:06:24.509
And other countries
00:06:24.509 --> 00:06:25.743
Impose in the united states on dairy and timber in particular,
00:06:25.743 --> 00:06:28.713
Were much higher than what is happening and coming back to us.
00:06:28.713 --> 00:06:32.116
So he was just saying, hey, listen, you're at 50%
00:06:32.116 --> 00:06:35.320
Will be at 50%, you're at 5%, we'll be at 5%.
00:06:35.320 --> 00:06:38.389
And obviously there's going to be a little bit of pain
00:06:38.389 --> 00:06:40.892
As we've experienced in the stock market.
00:06:40.892 --> 00:06:43.661
But i think he's he's right in the end, if it's correct.
00:06:43.661 --> 00:06:46.531
I heard in the hearing today from caroline
00:06:46.531 --> 00:06:48.533
Lebanon, new hampshire resident, someone i know.
00:06:48.533 --> 00:06:50.735
Well, if she's,
00:06:50.735 --> 00:06:52.971
Accurate in terms of what she was saying,
00:06:52.971 --> 00:06:54.372
They have 15 deals that they're already
00:06:54.372 --> 00:06:56.307
Negotiating that they're starting to do.
00:06:56.307 --> 00:06:58.510
And i think it's really important
00:06:58.510 --> 00:06:59.844
For them to come out with a good couple of big deals.
00:06:59.844 --> 00:07:02.847
And then i'll let people know that, hey, this is real.
00:07:02.847 --> 00:07:05.450
And by the way, china is going to do everything
00:07:05.450 --> 00:07:07.252
They can to make sure these things don't happen.
00:07:07.252 --> 00:07:09.521
Telling the other countries
00:07:09.521 --> 00:07:10.722
That they're going to penalize them
00:07:10.722 --> 00:07:11.923
If they do deals with the united states,
00:07:11.923 --> 00:07:13.958
Let them do it. i don't think it's going to work.
00:07:13.958 --> 00:07:15.927
Well, scott, please stay for another segment.
00:07:16.828 --> 00:07:18.696
There is a lot more we want to discuss.
00:07:18.696 --> 00:07:21.599
And if you want to jump in with your thoughts on
00:07:21.599 --> 00:07:23.468

Later in the show, we'll talk about

Creating a healthier world spiritually now
00:07:30.642 --> 00:07:33.678
And in the years ahead.
00:07:33.678 --> 00:07:34.712
Stay with us and i'll be back in just a moment.
00:07:34.712 --> 00:07:43.009
Stay with us and i'll be back in just a moment.
00:07:43.009 --> 00:07:49.027
Well, we're back now
00:07:49.494 --> 00:07:50.562
With former senator and ambassador scott brown.
00:07:50.562 --> 00:07:53.464
Let's pick up where we left off on the protesters
00:07:53.464 --> 00:07:56.334
Who make a lot of noise objecting to anything that mr.
00:07:56.334 --> 00:07:59.003
Trump does.
00:07:59.003 --> 00:08:00.204
Of course, that group includes some predictable democrats.
00:08:00.204 --> 00:08:03.374
Listen to this familiar face.
00:08:03.374 --> 00:08:06.911
We have the power to stop donald trump.
00:08:06.911 --> 00:08:09.547
We have the power to push those republicans to do their job.
00:08:09.547 --> 00:08:13.484
We have that power.
00:08:13.484 --> 00:08:15.119
Sometimes each of us
00:08:15.119 --> 00:08:16.921
Gets called on individually to get in this fight.
00:08:16.921 --> 00:08:20.325
And when that happens,
00:08:20.325 --> 00:08:21.893
You go do what you can and you make change.
00:08:21.893 --> 00:08:26.431
Scott, is this just about
00:08:26.998 --> 00:08:28.232
Getting on camera with the cable channels?
00:08:28.232 --> 00:08:30.501
They're losing viewers every year.
00:08:30.501 --> 00:08:31.936
You know, it's hard to trust anything she says now.
00:08:31.936 --> 00:08:34.772
Given her trouble with telling the truth,
00:08:34.772 --> 00:08:36.708
She's got quite a history.
00:08:36.708 --> 00:08:38.810
Well, it's not just senator warren.
00:08:38.810 --> 00:08:41.279
Respectfully, as you know,
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.381
Defeated me when i ran for reelection.
00:08:43.381 --> 00:08:46.718
That being said, yeah. listen,
00:08:46.718 --> 00:08:48.519
They're talking to their base, which they already have.
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:51.789
They're trying to fire up the base,
00:08:51.789 --> 00:08:53.191
You know, fight, fight, fight and all this other stuff.
00:08:53.191 --> 00:08:55.560
Respectfully, those are the people that they have.
00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:58.429
The people that they lost to, the people in the middle,
00:08:58.429 --> 00:09:00.865
Those blue dog democrats that are supporting donald trump
00:09:00.865 --> 00:09:03.468
Because they recognize we need to close the border.
00:09:03.468 --> 00:09:05.570
We need to get the budget deficits and debt in order.
00:09:05.570 --> 00:09:08.439
We need to stop the fentanyl.
00:09:08.439 --> 00:09:09.841
We need to get our town squared away.
00:09:09.841 --> 00:09:11.342
We need to make sure that men don't dominate women's sports.
00:09:11.342 --> 00:09:15.013
Those are the people that are now
00:09:15.013 --> 00:09:16.481
With president and trump and are really independents now.
00:09:16.481 --> 00:09:20.385
So when they say, you know,
00:09:20.385 --> 00:09:21.552
We have the power, no, they have no power.
00:09:21.552 --> 00:09:23.788
They don't have the presidency.
00:09:23.788 --> 00:09:25.056
They don't have the house or senate.
00:09:25.056 --> 00:09:26.858
And the only thing they have
00:09:26.858 --> 00:09:27.992
Is the ability to complain and stall and delay.
00:09:27.992 --> 00:09:31.295
You know,
00:09:31.295 --> 00:09:31.663
You know,
00:09:31.663 --> 00:09:32.697
They should do their jobs, which is to actually
00:09:32.697 --> 00:09:34.465
Find some areas where you actually agree
00:09:34.465 --> 00:09:36.367
With the president and get these things done
00:09:36.367 --> 00:09:38.903
When you can't even stand up for a young boy
00:09:38.903 --> 00:09:41.139
Who wants to be a police officer, or a young man
00:09:41.139 --> 00:09:43.274
Who's going to go to the
00:09:43.274 --> 00:09:44.308
Military academy and stand and clap.
00:09:44.308 --> 00:09:46.911
That just shows the the intent and how far left
00:09:46.911 --> 00:09:50.314
These folks are.
00:09:50.314 --> 00:09:51.582
And the hate and everything president trump does
00:09:51.582 --> 00:09:54.619
Is just overwhelming. and the american people see it.
00:09:54.619 --> 00:09:56.888
They gave him a mandate.
00:09:56.888 --> 00:09:58.356
They wanted him to be bullied.
00:09:58.356 --> 00:09:59.957
They wanted him to basically step back from the precipice
00:09:59.957 --> 00:10:03.061
Of the four years of joe biden and kamala harris.
00:10:03.061 --> 00:10:06.364
And he's doing, i believe, a very good job in that respect.
00:10:06.364 --> 00:10:10.101
But there's some certain areas that have been tweaked.
00:10:10.101 --> 00:10:12.303
Well, yeah,
00:10:12.303 --> 00:10:13.104
Of course,
00:10:13.104 --> 00:10:14.372
The state department is allowing their secretaries to do that.
00:10:14.372 --> 00:10:16.274
I just read my friend
00:10:16.274 --> 00:10:17.642
Marco rubio is doing some reorganization.
00:10:17.642 --> 00:10:20.178
You're telling me
00:10:20.178 --> 00:10:21.212
Out of an entity that has thousands of employees
00:10:21.212 --> 00:10:24.315
And thousands of embassies
00:10:24.315 --> 00:10:25.950
Around the world, that you can't do a little bit of change?
00:10:25.950 --> 00:10:28.986
Of course you can. we have to streamline.
00:10:28.986 --> 00:10:31.422
We have to find those doors.
00:10:31.422 --> 00:10:33.057
I don't care if they fined $100.
00:10:33.057 --> 00:10:34.992
And apparently
00:10:34.992 --> 00:10:36.094
They've already found like $170 million or billion.
00:10:36.094 --> 00:10:39.263
I think it's billion. yes, billion dollars.
00:10:39.263 --> 00:10:41.432
So, you know, we need to we need to do it.
00:10:41.432 --> 00:10:44.102
We need to get together.
00:10:44.102 --> 00:10:45.103
We need to find a way to continue
00:10:45.103 --> 00:10:47.205
To move on and step back from that precipice.
00:10:47.205 --> 00:10:49.240
And they need to stop dancing and singing and whining
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:52.076
And complaining and get on board and do some good.
00:10:52.076 --> 00:10:55.680
You know, while the progressive democrats seem happy
00:10:55.680 --> 00:10:57.982
To be in front of the cameras,
00:10:57.982 --> 00:10:59.517
The rest of the party
00:10:59.517 --> 00:11:00.418
Still seems unable to cross the party line
00:11:00.418 --> 00:11:02.453
To approve any of the president's agenda,
00:11:02.453 --> 00:11:04.889
Even though a lot of the issues do cross party lines.
00:11:04.889 --> 00:11:08.226
Should we assume that when it comes
00:11:08.226 --> 00:11:09.660
To saving their own jobs in the midterm
00:11:09.660 --> 00:11:11.362
Election next year,
00:11:11.362 --> 00:11:12.630
They'll figure out a way
00:11:12.630 --> 00:11:13.698
To tiptoe into parts of the trump agenda?
00:11:13.698 --> 00:11:17.135
Well, you're seeing it right now with the
00:11:17.135 --> 00:11:19.036
With a lot of the elections, even in my home state.
00:11:19.036 --> 00:11:21.272
You know, you have a congresswoman
00:11:21.272 --> 00:11:22.673
That's been there for three terms.
00:11:22.673 --> 00:11:24.542
And, you know, now he's trying to come across as a moderate.
00:11:24.542 --> 00:11:27.512
This is a
00:11:27.512 --> 00:11:28.479
This is a guy who, for example, who had, you
00:11:28.479 --> 00:11:30.181
Know, has voted to allow men and women sports, who's
00:11:30.181 --> 00:11:33.317
Voted to defund the police and not give them qualified
00:11:33.317 --> 00:11:36.120
Immunity, who has, you know,
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:37.622
Has basically wanted the open border.
00:11:37.622 --> 00:11:39.323
He lied about joe biden's health for four years.
00:11:39.323 --> 00:11:41.726
So yeah, now they're saying, oh, geez.
00:11:41.726 --> 00:11:43.494
Well, you know,
00:11:43.494 --> 00:11:44.762
You know, all the boogie woogie, which quite frankly, people
00:11:44.762 --> 00:11:47.999
Can see right through.
00:11:48.466 --> 00:11:49.600
Yeah.
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:50.434
There's going to be some difficulty
00:11:50.434 --> 00:11:51.302
In it's up to the public to actually
00:11:51.302 --> 00:11:52.970
Look at their voting records.
00:11:52.970 --> 00:11:54.238
You can go online and find them exactly how they voted.
00:11:54.238 --> 00:11:58.142
And many of the democrats are like 99%.
00:11:58.142 --> 00:12:01.045
And the biggest fact is
00:12:01.045 --> 00:12:02.814
That they lied about joe biden's health and for years
00:12:02.814 --> 00:12:06.450
That they want women and men and women sports
00:12:06.450 --> 00:12:09.420
And hurting our young, young girls and women.
00:12:09.420 --> 00:12:11.756
It's outrageous.
00:12:11.756 --> 00:12:12.790
I don't get it now. and i just don't.
00:12:12.790 --> 00:12:15.493
Well, i've got a question
00:12:16.060 --> 00:12:17.328
That calls on your work as ambassador.
00:12:17.328 --> 00:12:19.630
President trump has shaken up
00:12:19.630 --> 00:12:21.098
Many of the world's leaders, including our neighbors.
00:12:21.098 --> 00:12:24.302
You served in the diplomatic corps.
00:12:24.302 --> 00:12:26.337
How did people
00:12:26.337 --> 00:12:27.471
In those positions work to smooth out the relationships
00:12:27.471 --> 00:12:30.107
When so much change is happening?
00:12:30.107 --> 00:12:32.510
Well, it's difficult.
00:12:32.510 --> 00:12:33.744
I remember when i got there, there were some issues that they
00:12:33.744 --> 00:12:36.647
I was shocked to hear that
00:12:36.647 --> 00:12:38.115
They didn't really like president trump.
00:12:38.115 --> 00:12:39.984
But the fact that i was there every day and always accessible
00:12:39.984 --> 00:12:42.587
And always answered the questions
00:12:42.587 --> 00:12:43.921
And built up a rapport and trust.
00:12:43.921 --> 00:12:45.756
So i always tried to have accurate,
00:12:45.756 --> 00:12:47.425
You know, on time information to let them be able
00:12:47.425 --> 00:12:50.161
To do their jobs and govern their country.
00:12:50.161 --> 00:12:52.864
And, you know, we had many instances,
00:12:52.864 --> 00:12:54.465
For example,
00:12:54.465 --> 00:12:55.032
When the christchurch
00:12:55.032 --> 00:12:56.100
Massacre happened and i was in a negative side,
00:12:56.100 --> 00:12:57.969
But i was able to get information like that.
00:12:57.969 --> 00:13:00.471
And the president trump help me with everything
00:13:00.471 --> 00:13:02.773
I needed. so they knew if there was
00:13:02.773 --> 00:13:04.675
Something else happening thereafter.
00:13:04.675 --> 00:13:07.245
We also did the kiwi act, which is an investment tree
00:13:07.245 --> 00:13:09.814
Trader visa.
00:13:09.814 --> 00:13:11.215
And listen,
00:13:11.215 --> 00:13:12.116
I understand these countries are upset,
00:13:12.116 --> 00:13:13.718
But if you're upset, then come to the table
00:13:13.718 --> 00:13:15.887
And work out a deal because many of these countries
00:13:15.887 --> 00:13:18.422
Are charging tariffs for our products to go in there,
00:13:18.422 --> 00:13:21.392
Or they're
00:13:21.392 --> 00:13:22.093
Denying our products altogether,
00:13:22.093 --> 00:13:24.028
Or they're putting in regulations
00:13:24.028 --> 00:13:25.563
To not allow our products to be to conform to their systems.
00:13:25.563 --> 00:13:29.300
The eu, especially if you want if you don't want any conflict,
00:13:29.300 --> 00:13:33.170
Then come to the table with a deal.
00:13:33.170 --> 00:13:35.473
Well, scott, before we go,
00:13:35.473 --> 00:13:37.008
I want to say that america could use
00:13:37.008 --> 00:13:38.776
Your common sense approach again.
00:13:38.776 --> 00:13:40.778
They'd be a bit early to ask, but are you considering running?
00:13:40.778 --> 00:13:44.315
We'd like to break the news right here.
00:13:44.315 --> 00:13:46.550
And i. well, i can't do that, but i.
00:13:46.550 --> 00:13:47.985
I'm thinking long and hard about it.
00:13:47.985 --> 00:13:49.921
I, i'm just upset about the just the handful of things
00:13:49.921 --> 00:13:53.057
I talked to you about.
00:13:53.057 --> 00:13:54.225
The people that are in our delegation,
00:13:54.225 --> 00:13:56.294
Our hampshire, all believe in those things.
00:13:56.294 --> 00:13:58.262
And it's wrong.
00:13:58.262 --> 00:13:59.297
It's it's not the values of new hampshire.
00:13:59.297 --> 00:14:01.465
And quite frankly, that's the same around the country.
00:14:01.465 --> 00:14:03.801
It was given a mandate, given a majority,
00:14:03.801 --> 00:14:05.770
And he should be able to do his job,
00:14:05.770 --> 00:14:07.305
And he should get some support from these people
00:14:07.305 --> 00:14:09.106
Instead of being the party of no all the time.
00:14:09.106 --> 00:14:11.075
It's just it's upside down.
00:14:11.075 --> 00:14:13.177
I'll let you know though.
00:14:13.177 --> 00:14:14.478
All right. we'll look forward to that.
00:14:14.478 --> 00:14:16.414
Scott brown, it's been great to see you again.
00:14:16.414 --> 00:14:18.449
I hope that you and your wife enjoy your time in florida.
00:14:18.449 --> 00:14:21.352
Thank you. thank you. god bless.
00:14:21.352 --> 00:14:23.287
And we come back some hope and truth.
00:14:23.287 --> 00:14:32.005
And we come back some hope and truth.
00:14:32.005 --> 00:14:36.533
You know, it seems to me that current events have left
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:40.670
Many of us in a sort of stunned silence.
00:14:40.670 --> 00:14:43.773
The things that are being said in public,
00:14:43.773 --> 00:14:45.375
The things that we are watching.
00:14:45.375 --> 00:14:47.110
It's hard to process.
00:14:47.110 --> 00:14:49.045
You know, i could pick almost any
00:14:49.045 --> 00:14:50.447
Aspect of our culture right now.
00:14:50.447 --> 00:14:52.082
Simple things like the boundaries of the nation.
00:14:52.082 --> 00:14:55.452
You know, i've had the privilege of traveling a good bit.
00:14:55.452 --> 00:14:57.520
I have a blue passport,
00:14:57.520 --> 00:14:59.089
A passport is necessary for me to enter other countries,
00:14:59.089 --> 00:15:02.392
And it's necessary for me to reenter this country.
00:15:02.392 --> 00:15:05.862
I've been with people who lost their passports.
00:15:05.862 --> 00:15:07.998
It's a problem
00:15:07.998 --> 00:15:09.366
That i've had to stand in line at consulates to help people
00:15:09.366 --> 00:15:12.669
Get papers, in order for them to come back into this country.
00:15:12.669 --> 00:15:15.872
I've had to find alternative forms of identification.
00:15:15.872 --> 00:15:18.241
It's not a simple thing.
00:15:18.241 --> 00:15:20.210
The reality of the world we live in
00:15:20.210 --> 00:15:21.978
Is that we took
00:15:21.978 --> 00:15:23.046
Our borders down, and that is not some small thing
00:15:23.046 --> 00:15:26.783
Without secure borders.
00:15:26.783 --> 00:15:28.218
We will lose our freedoms and our liberties.
00:15:28.218 --> 00:15:31.388
That's not an expression of hatred
00:15:31.388 --> 00:15:33.256
Any more than locking the doors on your home or not.
00:15:33.256 --> 00:15:36.393
Leaving the keys in your car is an expression of hatred.
00:15:36.393 --> 00:15:39.929
And most unsettling, it was all happening
00:15:39.929 --> 00:15:42.165
And being facilitated by people with authority over us.
00:15:42.165 --> 00:15:45.535
They were telling us
00:15:45.535 --> 00:15:46.636
That a porous, unsecure border was our imagination.
00:15:46.636 --> 00:15:49.639
We're a nation of immigrants from the nations of the world.
00:15:50.774 --> 00:15:53.243
We've been built upon policies of immigration
00:15:53.243 --> 00:15:56.212
Policies that will inform and define our future.
00:15:56.212 --> 00:15:59.549
However, we can do immigration in an orderly legal process,
00:15:59.549 --> 00:16:04.654
Counseling millions of people to do something
00:16:04.654 --> 00:16:06.623
Illegally as a means of joining
00:16:06.623 --> 00:16:08.191
Us is a very bad precedent to establish.
00:16:08.191 --> 00:16:11.461
You know, another thing that's not
00:16:12.195 --> 00:16:13.263
Normal is the hundreds of billions of our tax dollars
00:16:13.263 --> 00:16:16.533
That have been stolen, fraudulently used, wasted,
00:16:16.533 --> 00:16:20.103
While those in authority have been demanding more from us.
00:16:20.103 --> 00:16:23.440
That's unsettling.
00:16:23.873 --> 00:16:25.675
There's real data showing waste and fraud.
00:16:25.675 --> 00:16:28.545
Yet the reaction of the
00:16:28.545 --> 00:16:29.679
Majority of the media is to get mad at the messenger.
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:32.749
It's uncomfortable.
00:16:32.749 --> 00:16:34.317
It seems to me that we are a society that's a bit dizzy.
00:16:34.317 --> 00:16:38.154
We're dizzy with boundaries
00:16:38.154 --> 00:16:39.589
And moral perspectives in our lives,
00:16:39.589 --> 00:16:41.257
With right and wrong, with good and evil,
00:16:41.257 --> 00:16:43.526
With who we trust for information.
00:16:43.526 --> 00:16:45.829
So how do you stay anchored in a season of competing voices?
00:16:45.829 --> 00:16:49.199
Well, the best way i know to maintain
00:16:49.199 --> 00:16:50.667
Your equilibrium is to stay grounded in your bible.
00:16:50.667 --> 00:16:53.570
Now, i know somebody is going to say that's
00:16:53.570 --> 00:16:55.038
An oversimplified version, but i don't believe so.
00:16:55.038 --> 00:16:58.341
In matthew seven, jesus said this
00:16:58.341 --> 00:17:00.076
Everyone who hears these words of mine
00:17:00.076 --> 00:17:02.045
And puts them into
00:17:02.045 --> 00:17:03.279
Practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:06.182
Let's build wisely by listening to jesus and obeying his word,
00:17:06.182 --> 00:17:09.786
The wisdom of god.
00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:11.287
It'll guide us through tremendous cultural change.
00:17:11.287 --> 00:17:14.190
It's timeless,
00:17:14.190 --> 00:17:15.391
And it's worth an investment of your time on a daily basis.
00:17:15.391 --> 00:17:18.328
Read your bible.
00:17:18.328 --> 00:17:19.429
It'll bring hope.
00:17:19.429 --> 00:17:20.830
When we return,
00:17:20.830 --> 00:17:21.965
I'm going to read and respond to some of your emails.
00:17:21.965 --> 00:17:30.006
I'm going to read and respond to some of your emails.
00:17:30.006 --> 00:17:34.955
Thank you for taking the time to send us your emails.
00:17:35.990 --> 00:17:38.225
Your thoughts and perspectives are important to us.
00:17:38.225 --> 00:17:41.228
Brian emailed.
00:17:41.228 --> 00:17:42.329
Funny how so many of what was once
00:17:42.329 --> 00:17:43.964
Thought as a conspiracy theory
00:17:43.964 --> 00:17:45.900
Not that long ago is almost daily being presented
00:17:45.900 --> 00:17:48.936
Bit by bit,
00:17:48.936 --> 00:17:50.037
To have much more validity than we may
00:17:50.037 --> 00:17:51.872
Have ever thought possible.
00:17:51.872 --> 00:17:53.440
Don't you think?
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:54.975
I do think, brian.
00:17:54.975 --> 00:17:56.677
I think our prayers that the truth would be told in
00:17:56.677 --> 00:17:59.146
The public square are being answered
00:17:59.146 --> 00:18:01.515
With such daily precision that it's remarkable to watch.
00:18:01.515 --> 00:18:05.719
But darcy smith emailed, it's my understanding that
00:18:05.719 --> 00:18:09.190
State and local district courts
00:18:09.190 --> 00:18:11.058
Don't have the authority to challenge
00:18:11.058 --> 00:18:12.660
Federal rulings and actions by the president.
00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:14.828
Is this not true?
00:18:14.828 --> 00:18:16.330
Why are nonfederal judges being allowed to block president
00:18:16.330 --> 00:18:19.500
Trump's decisions, such as deporting illegal immigrants?
00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:22.670
It doesn't make sense. thank you.
00:18:22.670 --> 00:18:25.339
I don't believe district
00:18:25.339 --> 00:18:26.540
Courts were ever intended to establish national policy.
00:18:26.540 --> 00:18:30.110
It's a function of the executive branch.
00:18:30.110 --> 00:18:31.979
But i think what the help is needed is from the supreme court
00:18:31.979 --> 00:18:34.615
To set the boundaries for these lower courts.
00:18:34.615 --> 00:18:37.351
They've been reluctant up to this point.
00:18:37.351 --> 00:18:38.986
I pray they find the courage to do the right thing.
00:18:38.986 --> 00:18:41.255
We all need that to happen.
00:18:41.255 --> 00:18:42.890
The law fair is enough.
00:18:42.890 --> 00:18:45.659
Greg s email.
00:18:46.026 --> 00:18:47.328
There is a correlation between the people who are lobbying for
00:18:47.328 --> 00:18:50.431
The release of abrego, garcia, and the people who lobbied
00:18:50.431 --> 00:18:53.968
For the release of barabbas of biblical times.
00:18:53.968 --> 00:18:57.371
Greg. well said.
00:18:57.771 --> 00:19:00.140
I think we're watching
00:19:00.140 --> 00:19:01.208
A spiritual conflict played out in public arenas,
00:19:01.208 --> 00:19:04.411
And we better be
00:19:04.411 --> 00:19:05.546
Careful what we choose, because the choice for barabbas
00:19:05.546 --> 00:19:08.349
Had destructive implications for the people of jerusalem,
00:19:08.349 --> 00:19:12.820
And we need to be aware that we're choosing
00:19:12.820 --> 00:19:14.755
Between good and evil, right and wrong,
00:19:14.755 --> 00:19:17.157
And use our voices for the right.
00:19:17.157 --> 00:19:19.860
Caitlin wilkerson commented,
00:19:19.860 --> 00:19:21.829
Good show, nice balance between church and politics
00:19:21.829 --> 00:19:24.465
From a christian point of view.
00:19:24.465 --> 00:19:25.766
I love watching both on youtube and tbn
00:19:25.766 --> 00:19:29.036
Just started watching on tv in two days ago.
00:19:29.036 --> 00:19:32.239
Well, caitlin, welcome to the program
00:19:32.239 --> 00:19:34.541
And i hope you'll encourage your friends to join you.
00:19:34.541 --> 00:19:36.944
And finally, for all of those of you
00:19:36.944 --> 00:19:38.078
Watching tonight, i have a request.
00:19:38.078 --> 00:19:40.281
You know, we're in the process
00:19:40.281 --> 00:19:41.382
Of building a community of truth and trust,
00:19:41.382 --> 00:19:44.818
And we'd like to see it grow with as many people as possible.
00:19:44.818 --> 00:19:47.955
So whether you watch live or later
00:19:47.955 --> 00:19:49.623
In the evening on youtube,
00:19:49.623 --> 00:19:51.058
We want to spread the word
00:19:51.058 --> 00:19:52.159
So that more and more people
00:19:52.159 --> 00:19:53.527
Can share in what's really going on
00:19:53.527 --> 00:19:55.129
In this fast moving world of ours.
00:19:55.129 --> 00:19:57.598
With truth, our hope will spread.
00:19:57.598 --> 00:20:00.634
Well, i'm alan jackson.
00:20:01.135 --> 00:20:02.336
I want to thank you for watching this evening,
00:20:02.336 --> 00:20:04.538
And i pray you have a good evening.
00:20:04.538 --> 00:20:06.073
We hope to see you again tomorrow.
00:20:06.073 --> 00:20:06.073
