Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: War Opposition | Allen Jackson Now | May 18, 2026
  • I. well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:01:22.215 --> 00:00:19.235
  • I'm alan jackson.
  • 00:00:19.235 --> 00:00:20.570
  • It's been an incredibly busy time on the national stage.
  • 00:00:20.570 --> 00:00:24.040
  • So much going on, so many big issues on the table
  • 00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:27.477
  • And all of it largely without democratic cooperation.
  • 00:00:27.477 --> 00:00:31.481
  • So what are the democrats doing?
  • 00:00:31.481 --> 00:00:33.349
  • Well, they're playing opposition
  • 00:00:33.349 --> 00:00:34.650
  • To everything the president tries to do,
  • 00:00:34.650 --> 00:00:37.153
  • Even when the polls show
  • 00:00:37.153 --> 00:00:38.387
  • The american people want progress on crime, for example.
  • 00:00:38.387 --> 00:00:42.158
  • Ask the american people if they want crime,
  • 00:00:42.158 --> 00:00:44.127
  • Drugs and illegal activity in their neighborhoods.
  • 00:00:44.127 --> 00:00:46.696
  • And of course, they say no.
  • 00:00:46.696 --> 00:00:48.498
  • We're asking if they want lower taxes.
  • 00:00:48.498 --> 00:00:50.399
  • Yes is the answer.
  • 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.101
  • Do americans want our enlisted men and women
  • 00:00:52.101 --> 00:00:54.137
  • To defend the country in times of war against nuclear threats?
  • 00:00:54.137 --> 00:00:57.740
  • Of course they do.
  • 00:00:58.174 --> 00:00:59.842
  • And do you want to stop the stealing from the government?
  • 00:00:59.842 --> 00:01:02.178
  • That's taking at least half a trillion of our dollars,
  • 00:01:02.178 --> 00:01:05.114
  • Our hard earned salaries each year? yes.
  • 00:01:05.114 --> 00:01:08.684
  • Immigration was the big issue in the last election.
  • 00:01:08.684 --> 00:01:10.887
  • From coast to coast,
  • 00:01:10.887 --> 00:01:11.954
  • Close to 20 million people came here illegally.
  • 00:01:11.954 --> 00:01:14.891
  • Well, we all like the idea that america was built
  • 00:01:14.891 --> 00:01:17.493
  • On immigrants.
  • 00:01:17.493 --> 00:01:18.661
  • That never meant illegal immigrants,
  • 00:01:18.661 --> 00:01:20.496
  • Criminals, and thousands of them connected to terrorist groups.
  • 00:01:20.496 --> 00:01:24.033
  • And it didn't mean that we should fly them from city
  • 00:01:24.033 --> 00:01:26.536
  • To city with free cell phones, food, and housing.
  • 00:01:26.536 --> 00:01:30.873
  • Look at the names on the walls of ellis island.
  • 00:01:30.873 --> 00:01:33.176
  • There's nothing to show that those immigrants
  • 00:01:33.176 --> 00:01:34.944
  • Got any freebies back then,
  • 00:01:34.944 --> 00:01:37.446
  • The immigrants from that generation made a sacrifice
  • 00:01:37.446 --> 00:01:40.416
  • To be a part of the opportunity which america presented.
  • 00:01:40.416 --> 00:01:43.486
  • They went to church services.
  • 00:01:43.486 --> 00:01:44.687
  • They did all they could to contribute
  • 00:01:44.687 --> 00:01:46.255
  • To american society, worked hard, thanked god for a chance
  • 00:01:46.255 --> 00:01:50.259
  • To make it in the country
  • 00:01:50.259 --> 00:01:51.327
  • That valued freedom and opportunity for all.
  • 00:01:51.327 --> 00:01:54.363
  • Millions of americans work long hours.
  • 00:01:55.198 --> 00:01:57.300
  • They pay taxes.
  • 00:01:57.300 --> 00:01:58.267
  • They try to build a future the right way.
  • 00:01:58.267 --> 00:02:00.670
  • No shortcuts.
  • 00:02:00.670 --> 00:02:02.205
  • Every paycheck gets hit with taxes.
  • 00:02:02.205 --> 00:02:04.507
  • With the expectation
  • 00:02:04.507 --> 00:02:05.541
  • That our taxpayer money will be used responsibly.
  • 00:02:05.541 --> 00:02:08.844
  • You see, the system only works if people believe their tax
  • 00:02:08.844 --> 00:02:11.480
  • Dollars are serving
  • 00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:12.548
  • The public, not being wasted, abused or stolen.
  • 00:02:12.548 --> 00:02:16.686
  • Yet instead of confronting fraud head on,
  • 00:02:16.686 --> 00:02:19.155
  • Elected officials in states like minnesota and california.
  • 00:02:19.155 --> 00:02:22.558
  • Well, the day they deny fraud is even taking place.
  • 00:02:22.558 --> 00:02:26.295
  • Make no mistake, fraud is stealing.
  • 00:02:26.295 --> 00:02:29.699
  • And to make matters worse, elected
  • 00:02:29.699 --> 00:02:31.234
  • Officials have been fighting the fraud
  • 00:02:31.234 --> 00:02:32.835
  • Investigations that are underway.
  • 00:02:32.835 --> 00:02:34.837
  • They even put forward a bill in california to hobble
  • 00:02:34.837 --> 00:02:37.573
  • Independent journalists who are working to expose the problem.
  • 00:02:37.573 --> 00:02:41.644
  • Why would they do that?
  • 00:02:42.144 --> 00:02:44.313
  • Well, recently,
  • 00:02:44.313 --> 00:02:45.581
  • Secretary of health and human services robert f kennedy jr.
  • 00:02:45.581 --> 00:02:48.751
  • He told a house committee that the total cost of hospice
  • 00:02:48.751 --> 00:02:51.687
  • Fraud in los angeles alone, it could reach $5 billion.
  • 00:02:51.687 --> 00:02:57.893
  • Kennedy explained the fraud perpetrators invented addresses,
  • 00:02:57.893 --> 00:03:01.264
  • Obtained patient identification by paying people.
  • 00:03:01.264 --> 00:03:05.468
  • Sometimes they gave people in poor neighborhoods,
  • 00:03:05.468 --> 00:03:07.870
  • Flat screen televisions and $600,
  • 00:03:07.870 --> 00:03:11.040
  • And then they would enroll them in the fake hospice.
  • 00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:13.542
  • The government, in turn,
  • 00:03:13.542 --> 00:03:14.610
  • Would then pay the fraudsters $6,000 per person.
  • 00:03:14.610 --> 00:03:17.747
  • That's not monopoly money.
  • 00:03:18.314 --> 00:03:19.682
  • That's our tax dollars.
  • 00:03:19.682 --> 00:03:22.084
  • We use the church cannot sit quiet in this season.
  • 00:03:22.084 --> 00:03:25.288
  • We have an assignment
  • 00:03:25.288 --> 00:03:26.222
  • To stand for the truth and to search for it.
  • 00:03:26.222 --> 00:03:28.958
  • The good news. god is moving.
  • 00:03:28.958 --> 00:03:30.893
  • We're not stuck in a doom loop. great things are happening.
  • 00:03:30.893 --> 00:03:33.963
  • I had the privilege of being
  • 00:03:34.563 --> 00:03:35.531
  • One of the participants in the historic
  • 00:03:35.531 --> 00:03:37.633
  • America reads the bible event that's taking place this week.
  • 00:03:37.633 --> 00:03:41.237
  • As the u.s.
  • 00:03:41.570 --> 00:03:42.338
  • Is marking its 250th anniversary.
  • 00:03:42.338 --> 00:03:45.007
  • I'm very appreciative of the effort
  • 00:03:45.007 --> 00:03:46.642
  • To read the bible from cover to cover,
  • 00:03:46.642 --> 00:03:48.577
  • From the table of contents, all the way to the maps
  • 00:03:48.577 --> 00:03:51.280
  • Right there in washington, d.c..
  • 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.382
  • It's a statement over our nation that should not be overlooked.
  • 00:03:53.382 --> 00:03:56.452
  • It's a sacrifice.
  • 00:03:56.886 --> 00:03:58.220
  • Almost 500 people are reading.
  • 00:03:58.220 --> 00:04:00.156
  • They're coming from more than 40 states,
  • 00:04:00.156 --> 00:04:02.058
  • From all walks of life.
  • 00:04:02.058 --> 00:04:03.826
  • Even president trump, the leader of the free world.
  • 00:04:03.826 --> 00:04:06.262
  • He's participating.
  • 00:04:06.262 --> 00:04:07.997
  • Well, this initiative to read the bible is an acknowledgment
  • 00:04:07.997 --> 00:04:10.566
  • Of our heritage from the founding of our nation.
  • 00:04:10.566 --> 00:04:13.536
  • Scripture has been given a place of prominence
  • 00:04:13.536 --> 00:04:16.939
  • In our in the in the midst of our lives.
  • 00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:20.376
  • I was in the capitol rotunda the other night
  • 00:04:20.376 --> 00:04:22.278
  • Looking at those big murals that are on the wall.
  • 00:04:22.278 --> 00:04:25.047
  • I was there
  • 00:04:25.047 --> 00:04:25.915
  • With some people that were explaining
  • 00:04:25.915 --> 00:04:26.816
  • The pictures in more detail
  • 00:04:26.816 --> 00:04:28.184
  • Than just a traditional capitol tour would do.
  • 00:04:28.184 --> 00:04:30.953
  • Pictures like the baptism of pocahontas or jamestown,
  • 00:04:30.953 --> 00:04:34.123
  • Where they erected a cross, or christopher columbus upon
  • 00:04:34.123 --> 00:04:36.959
  • Arriving, dedicating a new world to the kingdom of god.
  • 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.262
  • There's an unmistakable faith
  • 00:04:40.896 --> 00:04:42.398
  • Narrative that has shaped our nation.
  • 00:04:42.398 --> 00:04:44.867
  • Well, for several decades, we've been giving expression
  • 00:04:44.867 --> 00:04:47.002
  • To a rather cowardly form of christianity,
  • 00:04:47.002 --> 00:04:49.572
  • A form that talks about a personal faith.
  • 00:04:49.572 --> 00:04:51.741
  • It doesn't engage the public square.
  • 00:04:51.741 --> 00:04:54.176
  • We have to recapture the kind of courageous
  • 00:04:55.044 --> 00:04:57.513
  • Faith of our founders and our forefathers.
  • 00:04:57.513 --> 00:05:00.483
  • The civil war
  • 00:05:00.483 --> 00:05:01.684
  • And its 600,000 casualties were an expression of our faith,
  • 00:05:01.684 --> 00:05:05.287
  • Saying that slavery was simply not acceptable.
  • 00:05:05.287 --> 00:05:08.290
  • Bold, faith filled voices were willing to confront evil.
  • 00:05:08.290 --> 00:05:11.527
  • Or how about women's rights?
  • 00:05:12.128 --> 00:05:13.295
  • It was people of christian faith
  • 00:05:13.295 --> 00:05:14.730
  • Saying women deserve opportunity in the public square.
  • 00:05:14.730 --> 00:05:17.800
  • They saw women
  • 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:18.901
  • As image bearers of god, not second class citizens.
  • 00:05:18.901 --> 00:05:22.371
  • In fact,
  • 00:05:22.638 --> 00:05:23.706
  • There's a whole litany of examples of christianity
  • 00:05:23.706 --> 00:05:25.174
  • Bringing improvements to our nation.
  • 00:05:25.174 --> 00:05:27.410
  • The question is, are we going to have the courage
  • 00:05:27.410 --> 00:05:29.812
  • In the 21st century to stand up for our biblical values,
  • 00:05:29.812 --> 00:05:33.849
  • Or will we continue to capitulate?
  • 00:05:33.849 --> 00:05:36.519
  • The only thing necessary for evil to triumph
  • 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:38.687
  • Is for good people to do nothing.
  • 00:05:38.687 --> 00:05:40.790
  • We must take our place in the arena, speak truth,
  • 00:05:40.790 --> 00:05:43.793
  • And not worry about the pushback.
  • 00:05:43.793 --> 00:05:45.694
  • We have an assignment
  • 00:05:45.694 --> 00:05:46.829
  • To bring a biblical worldview forward wherever we go.
  • 00:05:46.829 --> 00:05:50.699
  • Well, republicans have
  • 00:05:51.167 --> 00:05:52.301
  • Six more months to show the best of what america can be.
  • 00:05:52.301 --> 00:05:55.337
  • In a moment, we'll visit with the editor
  • 00:05:55.337 --> 00:05:57.039
  • In chief of breitbart news, alex marlow.
  • 00:05:57.039 --> 00:05:59.775
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:05:59.775 --> 00:06:07.993
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:06:07.993 --> 00:06:12.456
  • Well, the war appears to be winding down.
  • 00:06:13.356 --> 00:06:15.258
  • And the american people, well,
  • 00:06:15.258 --> 00:06:16.326
  • They're getting ready for summer.
  • 00:06:16.326 --> 00:06:17.761
  • But there's also a tension in the air of the waiting
  • 00:06:17.761 --> 00:06:19.963
  • For iran's evil leadership to stop trying to defy the path
  • 00:06:19.963 --> 00:06:23.166
  • To peace.
  • 00:06:23.166 --> 00:06:24.234
  • They know they've lost.
  • 00:06:24.234 --> 00:06:25.469
  • But surrendering is something they refuse to acknowledge.
  • 00:06:25.469 --> 00:06:28.104
  • Well, alex marlow is joining us from los angeles.
  • 00:06:28.104 --> 00:06:31.074
  • Welcome back. alex.
  • 00:06:31.074 --> 00:06:33.109
  • Pastor. so great to see you.
  • 00:06:33.109 --> 00:06:34.244
  • It's been too long.
  • 00:06:34.244 --> 00:06:35.679
  • The wars might always bring about a hearty debate, but
  • 00:06:35.679 --> 00:06:39.049
  • I don't remember a time when an entire party
  • 00:06:39.049 --> 00:06:41.084
  • Is publicly taking issue with everything.
  • 00:06:41.084 --> 00:06:43.019
  • The commander in chief's trying to get done.
  • 00:06:43.019 --> 00:06:45.288
  • Did the democrats really think
  • 00:06:45.288 --> 00:06:46.556
  • It would be better to leave iran alone and let them develop
  • 00:06:46.556 --> 00:06:49.226
  • A nuclear weapon so they can threaten
  • 00:06:49.226 --> 00:06:50.961
  • Us and the rest of the world?
  • 00:06:50.961 --> 00:06:52.429
  • Yeah, there's a really remarkable moment,
  • 00:06:53.330 --> 00:06:54.965
  • An interview on cnn with tom friedman, who is a new york
  • 00:06:54.965 --> 00:06:58.869
  • Times columnist and has been my entire adult life.
  • 00:06:58.869 --> 00:07:01.972
  • And as someone who's taught in schools
  • 00:07:01.972 --> 00:07:03.373
  • And is thought of as some sort of foreign
  • 00:07:03.373 --> 00:07:04.808
  • Policy luminary,
  • 00:07:04.808 --> 00:07:06.076
  • Where he openly admitted that he was rooting against president
  • 00:07:06.076 --> 00:07:09.145
  • Trump and against prime minister netanyahu and saying,
  • 00:07:09.145 --> 00:07:11.915
  • Basically, he wants to add the murderous
  • 00:07:11.915 --> 00:07:13.917
  • Islamo fascist ayatollahs to succeed against america
  • 00:07:13.917 --> 00:07:17.754
  • Because he doesn't want trump and netanyahu to get a victory.
  • 00:07:17.754 --> 00:07:20.891
  • I found this to be frightening, but also a deeply important
  • 00:07:20.891 --> 00:07:24.694
  • Moment because it reveals what we all
  • 00:07:24.694 --> 00:07:26.630
  • Suspected for the last decade or so.
  • 00:07:26.630 --> 00:07:28.632
  • They hate trump so much.
  • 00:07:28.632 --> 00:07:30.634
  • They hate trump more than they love america.
  • 00:07:30.634 --> 00:07:32.636
  • That's the reality with the democrats
  • 00:07:32.636 --> 00:07:34.204
  • And the left right now. and we need to take that to heart.
  • 00:07:34.204 --> 00:07:37.574
  • Well, here's an example of how
  • 00:07:38.174 --> 00:07:39.442
  • The democrats have been sounding off.
  • 00:07:39.442 --> 00:07:41.545
  • Well, president trump has been trying
  • 00:07:41.545 --> 00:07:43.013
  • To finally put an end to iran's nuclear program.
  • 00:07:43.013 --> 00:07:45.282
  • In this case, it's the democratic ringleader,
  • 00:07:45.282 --> 00:07:47.684
  • Senator chris murphy.
  • 00:07:47.684 --> 00:07:49.252
  • Listen to his comments.
  • 00:07:49.252 --> 00:07:51.421
  • Donald trump in our country is trying to end our democracy
  • 00:07:51.421 --> 00:07:55.191
  • Where we are not on the verge of a trap
  • 00:07:56.026 --> 00:07:59.195
  • Of a totalitarian takeover.
  • 00:07:59.195 --> 00:08:01.064
  • We're in the middle of it.
  • 00:08:01.064 --> 00:08:02.532
  • He is trying to seize control of our courts
  • 00:08:02.532 --> 00:08:05.535
  • And our law enforcement, of our media, of our elections.
  • 00:08:05.535 --> 00:08:08.905
  • This white house is the most corrupt
  • 00:08:08.905 --> 00:08:12.208
  • White house in the history of our nation.
  • 00:08:12.208 --> 00:08:15.946
  • What does the rest of the world think
  • 00:08:16.746 --> 00:08:18.248
  • When they see the president being so publicly undermined,
  • 00:08:18.248 --> 00:08:21.384
  • Especially during a time of war?
  • 00:08:21.384 --> 00:08:23.153
  • You know murphy's lead.
  • 00:08:23.153 --> 00:08:24.087
  • He's a leading advocate on gun safety issues.
  • 00:08:24.087 --> 00:08:26.756
  • I guess he's okay with iran having guns and a lot
  • 00:08:26.756 --> 00:08:29.326
  • More than that, it seems.
  • 00:08:29.326 --> 00:08:31.328
  • Yeah, he certainly is.
  • 00:08:31.795 --> 00:08:32.963
  • And he also had a tweet today where there was a report
  • 00:08:32.963 --> 00:08:35.365
  • That was pure iranian propaganda that suggested
  • 00:08:35.365 --> 00:08:38.802
  • That iran ships
  • 00:08:38.802 --> 00:08:39.803
  • Had broken trump's containment
  • 00:08:39.803 --> 00:08:41.538
  • Of the strait of hormuz blockade.
  • 00:08:41.538 --> 00:08:43.273
  • And he tweeted, awesome.
  • 00:08:43.273 --> 00:08:45.175
  • As if he's rooting for, again the mullahs to beat
  • 00:08:45.175 --> 00:08:48.144
  • The united states in the iranian war.
  • 00:08:48.144 --> 00:08:50.513
  • And again, they're just admitting who they are.
  • 00:08:50.513 --> 00:08:53.116
  • We always
  • 00:08:53.116 --> 00:08:54.017
  • Suspected that they rooted against trump
  • 00:08:54.017 --> 00:08:55.585
  • To the point where they wanted to hurt america.
  • 00:08:55.585 --> 00:08:57.220
  • They wanted to america to lose wars.
  • 00:08:57.220 --> 00:08:59.389
  • But, pastor, what's so important here
  • 00:08:59.389 --> 00:09:01.157
  • Is that we're talking about enriched uranium.
  • 00:09:01.157 --> 00:09:03.193
  • We're talking about
  • 00:09:03.193 --> 00:09:04.361
  • A nuclear bomb
  • 00:09:04.361 --> 00:09:05.462
  • In the hands of the most maniacal regime on earth.
  • 00:09:05.462 --> 00:09:08.298
  • I'm someone who wants us to avoid wars assiduously.
  • 00:09:08.298 --> 00:09:10.634
  • I don't want ground wars. i don't want regime change wars.
  • 00:09:10.634 --> 00:09:13.136
  • I've been highly critical of the military industrial complex.
  • 00:09:13.136 --> 00:09:15.939
  • I've been highly critical of the bush-cheney foreign policy.
  • 00:09:15.939 --> 00:09:18.608
  • But this is different.
  • 00:09:18.608 --> 00:09:19.542
  • This is a nuclear bomb we're talking about.
  • 00:09:19.542 --> 00:09:22.012
  • And trump has every obligation to go get it to keep
  • 00:09:22.012 --> 00:09:25.048
  • The american people safe.
  • 00:09:25.048 --> 00:09:26.249
  • And anyone rooting against him is essentially
  • 00:09:26.249 --> 00:09:28.485
  • Allowing for the potential demise of the whole planet.
  • 00:09:28.485 --> 00:09:31.121
  • You know, i have to admit, i'm confused
  • 00:09:31.988 --> 00:09:33.690
  • Because you see these
  • 00:09:33.690 --> 00:09:35.158
  • The case that you're making, and yet they still get this
  • 00:09:35.158 --> 00:09:37.727
  • Preponderance of votes from the american public.
  • 00:09:37.727 --> 00:09:40.797
  • What do the people see in the democratic party
  • 00:09:40.797 --> 00:09:42.599
  • That caused them to continue to support them?
  • 00:09:42.599 --> 00:09:45.035
  • It's so interesting you say this because it's a constant
  • 00:09:45.035 --> 00:09:48.538
  • Subject of conversation.
  • 00:09:48.538 --> 00:09:49.739
  • Where i live, i live in northern los angeles county,
  • 00:09:49.739 --> 00:09:52.142
  • So i don't live in the city of la.
  • 00:09:52.142 --> 00:09:53.343
  • But la is a big part of my life and i'm part of california,
  • 00:09:53.343 --> 00:09:56.046
  • And it's just stunning to see.
  • 00:09:56.046 --> 00:09:57.881
  • Even when people admit that there's
  • 00:09:57.881 --> 00:09:59.349
  • Too much bureaucracy and there's that's
  • 00:09:59.349 --> 00:10:02.052
  • Why the energy prices are too high,
  • 00:10:02.052 --> 00:10:03.620
  • Because we put too much taxation on people.
  • 00:10:03.620 --> 00:10:05.989
  • Being able to get gas in
  • 00:10:05.989 --> 00:10:07.557
  • Hollywood is in hollywood anymore.
  • 00:10:07.557 --> 00:10:09.125
  • Hollywood moved to winnipeg and to albuquerque
  • 00:10:09.125 --> 00:10:11.895
  • And to georgia
  • 00:10:11.895 --> 00:10:12.762
  • Because there's too much regulation
  • 00:10:12.762 --> 00:10:14.230
  • And yet everyone complains about it.
  • 00:10:14.230 --> 00:10:16.066
  • And then
  • 00:10:16.066 --> 00:10:17.300
  • They keep voting for the party that put the policies in place.
  • 00:10:17.300 --> 00:10:20.170
  • It's a true psychosis,
  • 00:10:20.170 --> 00:10:21.504
  • And the way i think i internalize it
  • 00:10:21.504 --> 00:10:24.541
  • Is i think people have a very hard time admitting
  • 00:10:24.541 --> 00:10:27.343
  • They're wrong. there's cognitive dissonance.
  • 00:10:27.343 --> 00:10:29.279
  • They think they're smart. trump is stupid.
  • 00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:31.381
  • Republicans are stupid. republicans are bad.
  • 00:10:31.381 --> 00:10:33.683
  • So they can't go and support them
  • 00:10:33.683 --> 00:10:35.585
  • Because that would involve them admitting
  • 00:10:35.585 --> 00:10:37.554
  • That they've been wrong for so long.
  • 00:10:37.554 --> 00:10:39.456
  • You know, both parties have talked for years
  • 00:10:40.356 --> 00:10:42.292
  • About the drug epidemic
  • 00:10:42.292 --> 00:10:43.359
  • And the deaths of so many of our young people,
  • 00:10:43.359 --> 00:10:45.662
  • But did any democrats have anything positive
  • 00:10:45.662 --> 00:10:47.630
  • To say when the president
  • 00:10:47.630 --> 00:10:48.732
  • Put the drug dealing president of venezuela in jail?
  • 00:10:48.732 --> 00:10:51.634
  • It seems like to me they just took a complete pass on that.
  • 00:10:51.634 --> 00:10:54.738
  • Yeah.
  • 00:10:54.971 --> 00:10:55.939
  • And they also care a lot about human rights
  • 00:10:55.939 --> 00:10:57.006
  • And women's rights,
  • 00:10:57.006 --> 00:10:57.774
  • But they seem very comfortable
  • 00:10:57.774 --> 00:10:58.875
  • When tens of thousands of iranian
  • 00:10:58.875 --> 00:11:00.310
  • Civilians are being slaughtered as well.
  • 00:11:00.310 --> 00:11:02.045
  • There's no protest for that.
  • 00:11:02.045 --> 00:11:03.780
  • There's only protest when israel retaliates against hamas
  • 00:11:03.780 --> 00:11:07.784
  • In a war that hamas started.
  • 00:11:07.784 --> 00:11:09.119
  • Then all of a sudden, the protesters are out.
  • 00:11:09.119 --> 00:11:11.054
  • No, they've completely lost any sense of normalcy.
  • 00:11:11.054 --> 00:11:14.057
  • I think with this hyper online age that we're in,
  • 00:11:14.057 --> 00:11:17.227
  • We're all they're following, not truth.
  • 00:11:17.227 --> 00:11:19.462
  • But the left now follows energy, and there's a lot of energy
  • 00:11:19.462 --> 00:11:22.599
  • In a very radical online activist class.
  • 00:11:22.599 --> 00:11:26.770
  • And that's
  • 00:11:26.770 --> 00:11:27.704
  • Where all of their attention seems to go,
  • 00:11:27.704 --> 00:11:29.005
  • And it seems to go away from reality, seem
  • 00:11:29.005 --> 00:11:31.141
  • To go away from the principles we're looking at today.
  • 00:11:31.141 --> 00:11:33.376
  • This vote that's going on in virginia,
  • 00:11:33.376 --> 00:11:35.145
  • Where the democrats
  • 00:11:35.145 --> 00:11:36.179
  • Want to redistrict out a four republican seats,
  • 00:11:36.179 --> 00:11:39.883
  • And they're claiming that's going to restore fairness.
  • 00:11:39.883 --> 00:11:42.685
  • It's the most unfair thing ever.
  • 00:11:42.685 --> 00:11:43.820
  • And they're lying to you straight to your face.
  • 00:11:43.820 --> 00:11:46.623
  • Well, there's one exception
  • 00:11:47.223 --> 00:11:48.391
  • On capitol hill these days pennsylvania's john fetterman.
  • 00:11:48.391 --> 00:11:51.494
  • He prefers using his own common sense,
  • 00:11:51.494 --> 00:11:53.396
  • It seems, rather than taking orders from chuck schumer.
  • 00:11:53.396 --> 00:11:56.032
  • How do you explain him?
  • 00:11:56.032 --> 00:11:58.334
  • Yeah, very hard to explain.
  • 00:11:58.334 --> 00:11:59.669
  • I know he's had some brain trauma in the past.
  • 00:11:59.669 --> 00:12:01.437
  • Maybe that's part of it.
  • 00:12:01.437 --> 00:12:02.605
  • And he still votes terribly.
  • 00:12:02.605 --> 00:12:04.240
  • He votes with democrats almost all the time.
  • 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:06.176
  • So i don't want to lose sight of that.
  • 00:12:06.176 --> 00:12:07.544
  • But he's certainly interesting
  • 00:12:07.544 --> 00:12:09.045
  • To talk to because he seems to have
  • 00:12:09.045 --> 00:12:11.147
  • At least some semblance of principles.
  • 00:12:11.147 --> 00:12:13.616
  • Yeah, beyond just victory.
  • 00:12:13.616 --> 00:12:15.251
  • And the way i conceptualize democrats at this point in time
  • 00:12:15.251 --> 00:12:18.555
  • Is they think that winning is all that matters.
  • 00:12:18.555 --> 00:12:21.424
  • What they believe is that victory is a
  • 00:12:21.424 --> 00:12:24.828
  • Not only a principle, but it is the principle.
  • 00:12:24.828 --> 00:12:27.897
  • So whatever they do to win, that's what they do.
  • 00:12:27.897 --> 00:12:30.400
  • That's the approach they take.
  • 00:12:30.400 --> 00:12:31.801
  • And fetterman seem to have a different approach.
  • 00:12:31.801 --> 00:12:33.236
  • He seems to actually
  • 00:12:33.236 --> 00:12:34.170
  • Have some core values where he's willing
  • 00:12:34.170 --> 00:12:35.839
  • To go against the party, especially when it comes
  • 00:12:35.839 --> 00:12:37.974
  • To, you know, cutting american jobs for working class,
  • 00:12:37.974 --> 00:12:40.877
  • Supporting jihadists over israel.
  • 00:12:41.578 --> 00:12:43.446
  • And those are lines that he just won't cross.
  • 00:12:43.446 --> 00:12:45.648
  • And that's very welcome.
  • 00:12:45.648 --> 00:12:48.084
  • Well, alex marlowe's most recent book,
  • 00:12:48.084 --> 00:12:49.919
  • It's called breaking the news,
  • 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:51.621
  • And you can hear him
  • 00:12:51.621 --> 00:12:52.722
  • During the week on the alex marlowe show as well.
  • 00:12:52.722 --> 00:12:55.458
  • Right now, we need to take a short break,
  • 00:12:55.458 --> 00:12:57.160
  • But we'll be right back.
  • 00:12:57.160 --> 00:13:03.999
  • But we'll be right back.
  • 00:13:03.999 --> 00:13:08.910
  • We're back now with the editor
  • 00:13:09.510 --> 00:13:10.879
  • In chief of breitbart news, alex marlow.
  • 00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:14.048
  • And from bernie sanders to aoc, mamdani, abigail spanberger
  • 00:13:14.048 --> 00:13:18.353
  • In virginia, and now a short term replacement in new jersey.
  • 00:13:18.353 --> 00:13:22.056
  • The left is going further and further out on a limb.
  • 00:13:22.056 --> 00:13:25.293
  • Their common theme seems to be skip
  • 00:13:25.293 --> 00:13:26.995
  • The issues and simply show you want to fight.
  • 00:13:26.995 --> 00:13:29.464
  • Turn down your audio for a moment
  • 00:13:29.464 --> 00:13:30.965
  • And listen to the newest member of the resistance.
  • 00:13:30.965 --> 00:13:33.635
  • She's the new jersey congresswoman elect.
  • 00:13:33.635 --> 00:13:36.971
  • We resist.
  • 00:13:37.272 --> 00:13:38.973
  • We will not allow it to continue.
  • 00:13:38.973 --> 00:13:42.377
  • This system is broken. but guess what?
  • 00:13:42.377 --> 00:13:44.979
  • We are the glue.
  • 00:13:44.979 --> 00:13:47.215
  • It is not radical to say that a worker who toils
  • 00:13:47.215 --> 00:13:51.386
  • Every day cannot make ends meet, that they deserve justice,
  • 00:13:51.386 --> 00:13:55.723
  • That they deserve higher wages.
  • 00:13:55.723 --> 00:13:57.458
  • That is not radical.
  • 00:13:57.458 --> 00:13:59.060
  • That is good conscience.
  • 00:13:59.060 --> 00:14:00.728
  • That is a good economy.
  • 00:14:00.728 --> 00:14:03.865
  • Alex, she says that the democrats are the glue.
  • 00:14:03.865 --> 00:14:06.701
  • Does that mean sticking together on resistance?
  • 00:14:06.701 --> 00:14:09.037
  • Only?
  • 00:14:09.037 --> 00:14:10.538
  • Yeah, they really do stick together,
  • 00:14:10.538 --> 00:14:12.006
  • Which is kind of remarkable.
  • 00:14:12.006 --> 00:14:13.141
  • I feel like i'm forced to spend time
  • 00:14:13.141 --> 00:14:14.976
  • Every day tracking the maga movement, breaking apart
  • 00:14:14.976 --> 00:14:18.646
  • For completely ridiculous reasons, in my view.
  • 00:14:18.646 --> 00:14:22.216
  • And the democrats do have a knack
  • 00:14:22.216 --> 00:14:23.451
  • Of sticking with people, even crazy lunatics.
  • 00:14:23.451 --> 00:14:26.154
  • But it's noteworthy what she's talking about.
  • 00:14:26.154 --> 00:14:28.056
  • The content is
  • 00:14:28.056 --> 00:14:29.324
  • That she is acting as though is donald trump's fault.
  • 00:14:29.324 --> 00:14:31.793
  • Things are unaffordable for americans.
  • 00:14:31.793 --> 00:14:33.127
  • It's not the prospect of us
  • 00:14:33.127 --> 00:14:34.629
  • Wasting tons of money on the welfare state,
  • 00:14:34.629 --> 00:14:36.497
  • Cutting all sorts of checks
  • 00:14:36.497 --> 00:14:37.899
  • With money we didn't have during the pandemic.
  • 00:14:37.899 --> 00:14:40.501
  • It's not the rampant inflation
  • 00:14:40.501 --> 00:14:42.170
  • From joe biden printing a bunch of money.
  • 00:14:42.170 --> 00:14:44.172
  • No, it's donald trump's fault.
  • 00:14:44.172 --> 00:14:45.606
  • And the reality is it might be a valid political strategy.
  • 00:14:45.606 --> 00:14:49.043
  • It's not rooted in truth.
  • 00:14:49.043 --> 00:14:50.678
  • It's not rooted in accuracy.
  • 00:14:50.678 --> 00:14:52.246
  • But this is going to be their strategy
  • 00:14:52.246 --> 00:14:53.581
  • For the midterm is try to blame any stress and strain
  • 00:14:53.581 --> 00:14:56.284
  • Financially that americans have on president trump.
  • 00:14:56.284 --> 00:14:58.987
  • You know, it may work to get the media's attention,
  • 00:15:00.054 --> 00:15:02.323
  • But do you really think that people who vote
  • 00:15:02.323 --> 00:15:03.925
  • This fall will be at all
  • 00:15:03.925 --> 00:15:04.959
  • Drawn to their angry pushback on president trump?
  • 00:15:04.959 --> 00:15:08.229
  • Are most people ultimately looking for our leaders,
  • 00:15:08.229 --> 00:15:10.531
  • Whatever party they come from,
  • 00:15:10.531 --> 00:15:12.266
  • To make our lives better, more prosperous, safer?
  • 00:15:12.266 --> 00:15:16.104
  • It's hard to know.
  • 00:15:16.537 --> 00:15:17.705
  • It's hard to know. for me, i don't like that approach.
  • 00:15:17.705 --> 00:15:20.174
  • I find that to be very insulting to people.
  • 00:15:20.174 --> 00:15:22.643
  • I find it to be. it is.
  • 00:15:22.643 --> 00:15:25.146
  • I think it belittles people
  • 00:15:25.146 --> 00:15:26.214
  • In a way to scream and shout at them.
  • 00:15:26.214 --> 00:15:27.849
  • I feel like trusting them to draw their own conclusions
  • 00:15:27.849 --> 00:15:29.951
  • And just arming them with information and arguments.
  • 00:15:29.951 --> 00:15:32.120
  • That's how i tend to operate.
  • 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:33.921
  • But if you really see what works for currency online,
  • 00:15:33.921 --> 00:15:36.924
  • It seems like a people who yell very loud
  • 00:15:36.924 --> 00:15:38.826
  • Get very large followings.
  • 00:15:38.826 --> 00:15:40.161
  • So the question is,
  • 00:15:40.161 --> 00:15:41.896
  • Does that online culture translate to voters?
  • 00:15:41.896 --> 00:15:45.066
  • It doesn't always.
  • 00:15:45.066 --> 00:15:46.034
  • Competence tends to translate more.
  • 00:15:46.034 --> 00:15:48.236
  • But i don't know when we're going to see in november.
  • 00:15:48.236 --> 00:15:50.872
  • Well help us form some policy for a minute.
  • 00:15:51.739 --> 00:15:53.941
  • The midterms are always tough on the party in power.
  • 00:15:53.941 --> 00:15:56.177
  • So what do you think
  • 00:15:56.177 --> 00:15:57.378
  • The priority should be for the congressional republicans
  • 00:15:57.378 --> 00:15:59.647
  • Heading into the midterms?
  • 00:15:59.647 --> 00:16:01.749
  • It's hard to say.
  • 00:16:01.749 --> 00:16:02.617
  • The passing the save america act
  • 00:16:02.617 --> 00:16:03.985
  • Seemed like the biggest no brainer.
  • 00:16:03.985 --> 00:16:05.353
  • I mean, doing whatever was necessary
  • 00:16:05.353 --> 00:16:06.921
  • To do that because that restores integrity
  • 00:16:06.921 --> 00:16:09.390
  • In our election systems.
  • 00:16:09.390 --> 00:16:10.591
  • And it's something that's wildly popular with most americans.
  • 00:16:10.591 --> 00:16:13.127
  • If you take a look
  • 00:16:13.127 --> 00:16:14.562
  • At any polling that's nonpartisan, the vast
  • 00:16:14.562 --> 00:16:16.864
  • Majority of americans would have supported something like that.
  • 00:16:16.864 --> 00:16:19.267
  • And the republicans have chosen not to get it done,
  • 00:16:19.267 --> 00:16:21.502
  • Which i think just really limits a lot of people, particularly
  • 00:16:21.502 --> 00:16:25.673
  • Voters who are new to trump's coalition
  • 00:16:25.673 --> 00:16:27.208
  • Or might be moderate voters, they see that sort of thing.
  • 00:16:27.208 --> 00:16:29.844
  • And it just shows you that congress has an inability
  • 00:16:29.844 --> 00:16:32.180
  • To do almost anything productive.
  • 00:16:32.180 --> 00:16:33.881
  • So that's a very bad sign that that's happened.
  • 00:16:33.881 --> 00:16:36.751
  • So president trump does need to win this war in iran.
  • 00:16:36.751 --> 00:16:38.886
  • He needs to be able to get all that enriched uranium.
  • 00:16:38.886 --> 00:16:41.622
  • He needs to be able to declare victory
  • 00:16:41.622 --> 00:16:43.257
  • And then go back and make the case,
  • 00:16:43.257 --> 00:16:44.659
  • The american people, that it was completely necessary
  • 00:16:44.659 --> 00:16:47.528
  • To dismantle iran's nuclear capabilities once and for all.
  • 00:16:47.528 --> 00:16:51.699
  • And we're going to restore peace and prosperity.
  • 00:16:51.699 --> 00:16:53.734
  • And if that happens, he refocus on the domestic agenda.
  • 00:16:53.734 --> 00:16:56.437
  • Energy prices come down.
  • 00:16:56.437 --> 00:16:57.939
  • I think he's got a real shot because
  • 00:16:57.939 --> 00:16:59.874
  • The democrats are so lame and so angry and so uncharismatic.
  • 00:16:59.874 --> 00:17:04.378
  • Well, you know, there's six months
  • 00:17:05.146 --> 00:17:06.247
  • Between now and the elections.
  • 00:17:06.247 --> 00:17:08.049
  • Do you think he can really pull
  • 00:17:08.049 --> 00:17:09.517
  • All that together and make it happen at overcome
  • 00:17:09.517 --> 00:17:11.619
  • The legacy media and the interference?
  • 00:17:11.619 --> 00:17:13.321
  • They'll run?
  • 00:17:13.321 --> 00:17:14.989
  • Absolutely.
  • 00:17:14.989 --> 00:17:15.890
  • I officially do not have a prediction of
  • 00:17:15.890 --> 00:17:18.826
  • If he'll be able to pull it off,
  • 00:17:18.826 --> 00:17:19.927
  • But i still think realistically, people
  • 00:17:19.927 --> 00:17:22.330
  • Tend to lock in their votes
  • 00:17:22.330 --> 00:17:23.498
  • In midterm elections during the summer.
  • 00:17:23.498 --> 00:17:25.166
  • We're just into spring here.
  • 00:17:25.166 --> 00:17:26.701
  • So he does have a little time horizon,
  • 00:17:26.701 --> 00:17:29.137
  • I think, to wrap up the war and to be able
  • 00:17:29.137 --> 00:17:31.239
  • To go sell the victory and the peace
  • 00:17:31.239 --> 00:17:33.307
  • Back to the american public if he's able to do that.
  • 00:17:33.307 --> 00:17:35.977
  • And the democrats continue to do this thing
  • 00:17:35.977 --> 00:17:37.979
  • Where they just do all this performance
  • 00:17:37.979 --> 00:17:39.413
  • Art, all this yelling and screaming,
  • 00:17:39.413 --> 00:17:41.215
  • And they have no policy to run on.
  • 00:17:41.215 --> 00:17:43.151
  • They have no record to run on.
  • 00:17:43.151 --> 00:17:44.719
  • I do think there's a chance,
  • 00:17:44.719 --> 00:17:46.087
  • But it starts with wrapping up the war quick
  • 00:17:46.087 --> 00:17:48.356
  • And being able to sell that victory to the public
  • 00:17:48.356 --> 00:17:50.291
  • And then focusing on
  • 00:17:50.291 --> 00:17:51.225
  • Some of those affordability issues,
  • 00:17:51.225 --> 00:17:52.560
  • Because that's our biggest vulnerability.
  • 00:17:52.560 --> 00:17:55.563
  • If he loses the house and keeps the senate,
  • 00:17:55.563 --> 00:17:57.431
  • Do you think the balance of his term
  • 00:17:57.431 --> 00:17:59.033
  • Is going to be caught in that impeachment loop,
  • 00:17:59.033 --> 00:18:00.768
  • Or will he still be able to be productive?
  • 00:18:00.768 --> 00:18:02.904
  • It's a great question,
  • 00:18:02.904 --> 00:18:03.838
  • And they're always trying to impeach him.
  • 00:18:03.838 --> 00:18:05.273
  • I did write about this in my book, breaking the law.
  • 00:18:05.273 --> 00:18:07.308
  • I went through all the impeachment efforts.
  • 00:18:07.308 --> 00:18:08.976
  • There were way more than most of you
  • 00:18:08.976 --> 00:18:10.578
  • Probably even are aware of.
  • 00:18:10.578 --> 00:18:11.646
  • They're constantly looking for ways to impeach him.
  • 00:18:11.646 --> 00:18:13.514
  • There's going to be investigatory
  • 00:18:13.514 --> 00:18:15.216
  • Powers are going to be entirely dedicated
  • 00:18:15.216 --> 00:18:17.618
  • Towards trump and his administration.
  • 00:18:17.618 --> 00:18:19.520
  • James carville and other democrats
  • 00:18:19.520 --> 00:18:21.088
  • Have admitted that this is the plan.
  • 00:18:21.088 --> 00:18:22.990
  • They're calling it, i guess, project 2029,
  • 00:18:22.990 --> 00:18:25.726
  • Where the goal is to set traps and set predicate
  • 00:18:25.726 --> 00:18:29.063
  • So that they can go after trump and trump's allies and trump's
  • 00:18:29.063 --> 00:18:32.166
  • Family members and trump's cabinet members
  • 00:18:32.166 --> 00:18:34.001
  • Right after the 2028 election.
  • 00:18:34.001 --> 00:18:36.137
  • If the democrats were to win, it's very scary stuff.
  • 00:18:36.137 --> 00:18:39.207
  • They intend to use the lawfare
  • 00:18:39.207 --> 00:18:40.775
  • Superstructure to take us all out.
  • 00:18:40.775 --> 00:18:42.476
  • Pastor,
  • 00:18:42.476 --> 00:18:43.010
  • And by the way, mean
  • 00:18:43.010 --> 00:18:43.945
  • You are probably maybe not their top tier,
  • 00:18:43.945 --> 00:18:45.846
  • But we're probably that second tier people.
  • 00:18:45.846 --> 00:18:47.348
  • They're going to look at you. it's that crazy.
  • 00:18:47.348 --> 00:18:49.717
  • It really is crazy.
  • 00:18:49.717 --> 00:18:51.285
  • Alex marlow, thanks for spending time with us again today.
  • 00:18:51.285 --> 00:18:53.921
  • We'll see you again soon.
  • 00:18:53.921 --> 00:18:55.756
  • Thanks, pastor, i appreciate you.
  • 00:18:55.756 --> 00:18:57.358
  • And in a moment, your emails.
  • 00:18:57.358 --> 00:18:58.726
  • We got a full inbox right now. i'll be right back.
  • 00:18:58.726 --> 00:19:08.995
  • We got a full inbox right now. i'll be right back.
  • 00:19:08.995 --> 00:19:14.370
  • A quick reminder if you ever
  • 00:19:14.971 --> 00:19:16.372
  • Miss a live episode, you can always go to aj now.com.
  • 00:19:16.372 --> 00:19:20.109
  • There is a full archive there of all the programs.
  • 00:19:20.109 --> 00:19:22.612
  • You can watch them at your leisure.
  • 00:19:22.612 --> 00:19:24.113
  • They're easy to share with a friend.
  • 00:19:24.113 --> 00:19:25.881
  • The more the merrier.
  • 00:19:25.881 --> 00:19:26.916
  • Thanks for your emails are always a highlight.
  • 00:19:26.916 --> 00:19:29.185
  • Libby c from virginia said an idea
  • 00:19:29.185 --> 00:19:31.921
  • I could be used in medicare and medicaid
  • 00:19:31.921 --> 00:19:34.190
  • To analyze providers and payments for certification
  • 00:19:34.190 --> 00:19:37.526
  • Before payment is issued.
  • 00:19:37.526 --> 00:19:38.961
  • Anything rejected could
  • 00:19:38.961 --> 00:19:40.196
  • Then have human intervention to research.
  • 00:19:40.196 --> 00:19:43.432
  • Just like an idea.
  • 00:19:43.432 --> 00:19:44.367
  • Libby, i'm with you.
  • 00:19:44.367 --> 00:19:45.901
  • I feels a little bit like to me when we first started here
  • 00:19:45.901 --> 00:19:48.271
  • About the internet,
  • 00:19:48.271 --> 00:19:49.472
  • All the things they told us it was going to do,
  • 00:19:49.472 --> 00:19:51.274
  • Most of those original ideas
  • 00:19:51.274 --> 00:19:52.742
  • Didn't really become are used today,
  • 00:19:52.742 --> 00:19:55.411
  • But it became a powerful part of our lives.
  • 00:19:55.411 --> 00:19:57.513
  • I believe i will do the same,
  • 00:19:57.513 --> 00:19:59.649
  • But i'm kind of holding a bit of a skeptical distance to wait
  • 00:19:59.649 --> 00:20:02.285
  • And see what that really is going to look like.
  • 00:20:02.285 --> 00:20:05.054
  • Walter jay
  • 00:20:05.354 --> 00:20:06.122
  • From michigan requested clarity.
  • 00:20:06.122 --> 00:20:09.325
  • I have read summaries of the theological
  • 00:20:09.325 --> 00:20:11.494
  • And scriptural reasons given by jewish rabbis
  • 00:20:11.494 --> 00:20:13.929
  • And clerics for rejecting
  • 00:20:13.929 --> 00:20:15.331
  • Jesus as messiah is prophesied in old testament scripture.
  • 00:20:15.331 --> 00:20:19.402
  • I'd like to understand the apparent alignment
  • 00:20:19.402 --> 00:20:21.203
  • Of evangelical christians with the jewish faith.
  • 00:20:21.203 --> 00:20:24.173
  • Christians rely
  • 00:20:24.173 --> 00:20:25.408
  • On the old testament scripture for much of our faith practices.
  • 00:20:25.408 --> 00:20:28.144
  • Is it just this common biblical foundation that
  • 00:20:28.144 --> 00:20:31.047
  • Aligns evangelicals, christians, and jews?
  • 00:20:31.047 --> 00:20:34.383
  • Even though we come to a different conclusion
  • 00:20:34.383 --> 00:20:36.285
  • As it relates to jesus as the messiah?
  • 00:20:36.285 --> 00:20:39.388
  • Interesting question, walter.
  • 00:20:40.022 --> 00:20:41.123
  • There's actually a pretty good gulf
  • 00:20:41.123 --> 00:20:42.325
  • Between the jewish community and the christian community.
  • 00:20:42.325 --> 00:20:44.827
  • It's only been in the last decade
  • 00:20:44.827 --> 00:20:46.128
  • Or so that the evangelical world
  • 00:20:46.128 --> 00:20:47.730
  • Has managed to establish some bridges.
  • 00:20:47.730 --> 00:20:49.832
  • The greatest persecutor of the jewish people
  • 00:20:49.832 --> 00:20:51.600
  • For the last two millennia, 2000 years,
  • 00:20:51.600 --> 00:20:53.969
  • It's been the christian church.
  • 00:20:53.969 --> 00:20:55.805
  • The jewish community has clarity on that.
  • 00:20:55.805 --> 00:20:58.474
  • The christian community doesn't know our history
  • 00:20:58.474 --> 00:20:59.942
  • Well enough, typically to understand.
  • 00:20:59.942 --> 00:21:02.178
  • I'm grateful for the progress.
  • 00:21:02.178 --> 00:21:03.646
  • I think the simple answer to that
  • 00:21:03.646 --> 00:21:06.248
  • Is those of us who are christ followers
  • 00:21:06.248 --> 00:21:07.983
  • Understand that jesus of nazareth, our lord
  • 00:21:07.983 --> 00:21:10.386
  • And king, is an observant jewish rabbi.
  • 00:21:10.386 --> 00:21:14.056
  • So i think it's going to be
  • 00:21:14.056 --> 00:21:15.157
  • An awkward conversation when we meet our king.
  • 00:21:15.157 --> 00:21:17.426
  • If we hate the jewish people.
  • 00:21:17.426 --> 00:21:19.895
  • I'm always intrigued with the the christians willingness
  • 00:21:19.895 --> 00:21:22.465
  • To say the jews rejected jesus for two millennia.
  • 00:21:22.465 --> 00:21:25.668
  • The jesus story has been primarily
  • 00:21:25.668 --> 00:21:27.603
  • A non-jewish initiative, and the majority
  • 00:21:27.603 --> 00:21:31.307
  • Of the global population has rejected jesus as lord.
  • 00:21:31.307 --> 00:21:35.277
  • So i don't think we can point
  • 00:21:35.277 --> 00:21:36.512
  • To the jewish people as the only objectors in this equation.
  • 00:21:36.512 --> 00:21:39.815
  • Finally, elizabeth from georgia said,
  • 00:21:40.616 --> 00:21:43.252
  • I use the term often in a letter
  • 00:21:43.252 --> 00:21:44.854
  • In my family on public transportation
  • 00:21:44.854 --> 00:21:47.223
  • To talking to people in my community
  • 00:21:47.223 --> 00:21:48.758
  • Or at my community church.
  • 00:21:48.758 --> 00:21:50.793
  • I said it on marta recently.
  • 00:21:50.793 --> 00:21:52.128
  • The young man laughed so hard his face was red.
  • 00:21:52.128 --> 00:21:54.363
  • I said to the marta operator,
  • 00:21:54.363 --> 00:21:56.065
  • I'm thankful
  • 00:21:56.065 --> 00:21:56.866
  • Because god is moving in the earth
  • 00:21:56.866 --> 00:21:58.467
  • And i'm glad marta
  • 00:21:58.467 --> 00:21:59.335
  • Is helping god to move people like me
  • 00:21:59.335 --> 00:22:01.203
  • Without a car to get to the places god wanted us to go.
  • 00:22:01.203 --> 00:22:04.974
  • And god is using hundreds of bees
  • 00:22:04.974 --> 00:22:06.442
  • In a bush beside my apartment
  • 00:22:06.442 --> 00:22:07.743
  • Patio to pollinate food for people throughout the world.
  • 00:22:07.743 --> 00:22:10.813
  • Holidays.
  • 00:22:10.813 --> 00:22:11.480
  • God is moving in the earth.
  • 00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:12.681
  • To god be the glory. amen.
  • 00:22:12.681 --> 00:22:14.683
  • Well, elizabeth, i like your optimism
  • 00:22:14.683 --> 00:22:16.519
  • And your ability to see god in all the things around us.
  • 00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:19.488
  • I'll join you in that.
  • 00:22:19.488 --> 00:22:20.623
  • God is moving in the earth.
  • 00:22:20.623 --> 00:22:22.291
  • Let's join him. good night.
  • 00:22:22.291 --> 00:22:22.291
